"W-what's going on?"
Siren clung to the windowsill, as if it were the only thing keeping him grounded.
"What happened!"
Wrecker Alex swallowed hard.
"It's mutants, it's other mutants!"
Hank, more mature than the others, made this deduction.
In this situation, it was impossible for ordinary people to achieve this.
"Rorschach, how can you be so calm? How did you do it?"
Mystique Raven looked at Rorschach in surprise.
The base had been massacred!
Why wasn't Rorschach afraid at all?
"It's simple," Rorschach said with a sly smile at Mystique. "I was faking it!"
Mystique: "..."
Siren and the others were all impressed.
To be in the mood to joke at a time like this, Rorschach's composure was truly remarkable. They were all about to wet themselves.
Bang bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang bang!
Faint gunshots began to ring out as CIA special agents engaged the intruders in a fierce firefight.
"Fall back! Fall back! Get into the rooms! We're under attack!"
A team of special agents rushed out, assault rifles in hand, shouting at Raven and the others.
Even though they usually mocked these mutants, treating them like monkeys in a zoo, in this critical moment, they still fulfilled their duty and began to protect these mutants.
Even in the face of mortal danger.
[New mission generated:]
[Mission: Prevent Black King and his group from taking any mutants away]
[Mission Reward: 300 Origin Points]
At this moment, a prompt sounded in Rorschach's mind.
A new mission had been triggered again!
Rorschach couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
"This mission is only 300 Origin Points?"
But then, Rorschach couldn't help but silently complain, feeling like the System was ripping him off.
The last time, dealing with a mere Sabretooth had earned him 100 Origin Points.
Now, Black King Shaw, Red Devil, and Avalanche – three powerful mutants.
Each of them was stronger than Sabretooth!
The difficulty of this mission was more than three times greater. 300 Origin Points was just too little, no matter how you looked at it.
However, on second thought, perhaps the calculation wasn't that simple.
After all, the mission the System had issued was for Rorschach to prevent Black King from taking any mutants away, not to kill Black King and the others.
And based on the plot, Rorschach knew that although Black King had gone to great lengths to invade this secret base, he had only taken Angel in the end, and nothing more.
In other words, this mission could essentially be summarized as: Prevent Black King from taking Angel.
There were many ways to achieve this goal, for example, knocking Angel out right now?
But Rorschach wouldn't do something so random for no reason.
He didn't even particularly care about the three of them, including Black King.
Rorschach had the strength for it now!
Even if he couldn't kill Black King, he was confident that Black King wouldn't be able to kill him either.
300 Origin Points, so be it, the System is the boss!
Whoosh!
Just as these thoughts flashed through Rorschach's mind, Red Devil appeared outside the lounge door like a phantom, as if by magic.
He struck a dramatic pose, arms spread wide like Rose in Jack's embrace.
"Behind you!"
"Watch your backs!"
The mutants inside the house started yelling at the CIA special agents at the top of their lungs.
The special agents turned around, raised their assault rifles, and mercilessly pulled the trigger towards Red Devil.
Rat-tat-tat!
Rat-tat-tat!
A dense rain of bullets covered Red Devil.
Swish!
But Red Devil suddenly vanished.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared next to one of the special agents, grabbed the assault rifle from the agent's hand, and fired at another special agent.
The other special agents were shocked, but before they could react, Red Devil disappeared from their sight once more.
He appeared in another location like a phantom.
Whoosh!
Meanwhile.
A terrifying tornado suddenly appeared out of nowhere, sweeping towards the large "round ball" in the courtyard.
It destroyed the large round ball in an instant.
That was the Mutant Growth Accelerator specially built by Beast Hank for Charles, and the only thing Black King feared.
So Black King's visit this time was not just to take away some mutants, but also to destroy the Mutant Growth Accelerator.
Whoosh!
After the tornado completely destroyed the Mutant Growth Accelerator, it seemed to have eyes and began to sweep towards everyone.
It finally stopped in front of another window.
A middle-aged man with long hair, dressed in a suit, appeared before everyone.
It was none other than Avalanche.
With Red Devil mercilessly slaughtering the CIA special agents in front, and a terrifying mutant who could create hurricanes blocking their escape route behind, the mutants like Mystique, Siren, and Wrecker were almost in despair.
"Rorschach, what do we do?"
Siren couldn't help but look at Rorschach with anxious eyes.
"Yeah, Rorschach, think of something!"
Wrecker followed suit, asking.
At this critical juncture, Rorschach, who was highly regarded by Charles and Erik, instinctively became the backbone of everyone.
"Stay here for now, we'll be fine."
Rorschach said calmly to his companions.
"But those people outside can't hold on for long, we should leave here quickly!" Darwin had a different opinion.
"That red-skinned guy can teleport, what's the point of leaving here?"
Rorschach's single sentence left Darwin speechless.
"Stay put!"
After saying that, Rorschach wasted no more words and charged towards Red Devil at several times the speed of a car.
Those CIA special agents were protecting them, and Rorschach naturally wouldn't stand by and watch them be killed for nothing when he was fully capable.
Chii!
On the plaza outside, Red Devil pierced a special agent's chest with a knife.
Just as he was about to kill another special agent, a strong gust of wind hit him.
A young mutant appeared before him in the blink of an eye.
He threw a fierce punch at Red Devil.
Swish!
Red Devil used his ability and disappeared.
Undoubtedly, Rorschach's fist hit nothing.
"What's the point of dealing with those ordinary people? If you have the guts, come at me!"
Rorschach looked around, searching for Red Devil's figure, and shouted.
This wasn't Rorschach showing off; he was deliberately provoking Red Devil to attack him.
Considering Red Devil's abilities, Rorschach's attacks would be ineffective, and a speed twice that of a highway was far from enough.
The only chance was to make Red Devil attack Rorschach himself.
