Luo Xia was slightly taken aback, and he couldn't help but sit up straight subconsciously, which was due to his extreme excitement.

Since my rebirth, I've finally acquired the long-awaited ability of thermal rays.

After all, what kind of Homelander would a Homelander be without heat rays?

Even just looking at this skill alone, it's not only cool, but also incredibly powerful and convenient, far surpassing abilities like super hearing or X-ray vision.

If Rorschach had awakened the heat ray earlier, dealing with Red Devil and Torrent would have been much, much easier.

A single glance is enough.

At that moment, a force of inertia acted upon him, interrupting Luo Xia's thoughts, and the car slowly came to a stop on the side of the road.

It turned out that everyone had decided to get together and discuss what to do next.

boom!

boom!

The sound of car doors closing echoed as the seven mutants met up on the street.

They looked at each other, all disheveled and exhausted, and felt that the day's experience was so bizarre and dreamlike, so unreal.

"Being chased by a mad serial killer, what a fascinating day!"

The siren couldn't help but shrug and laugh at herself.

"That's right, and what's even worse is that that mad killer might come after us again!"

Darwin shrugged. "He killed all the agents in the base. I don't think they'll give up easily."

As Darwin uttered those words, the expressions on everyone's faces grew increasingly grim.

"We need to find out what's going on!"

The angel spoke with a serious expression, "Charles and the others must know what's going on. Haven't he and Eric been investigating a mutant? Maybe it's that madman."

Everyone agreed that the angel's words made a lot of sense.

But Charles didn't tell them much about it, and they didn't know much about it either.

"Rorschach, what do you know?"

The angel then turned his gaze to Rorschach.

The others present also turned their gazes in that direction.

If we're talking about who's most likely to know more information, then without a doubt it's Rorschach.

"Actually, I know very little. I only know that the man's name is Shaw, and he is the person that the CIA and Charles are looking for."

"In addition, he is extremely dangerous, and I believe everyone has already felt that."

But Rorschach didn't say much, he just told him what Charles had told him.

Charles didn't say anything; he didn't reveal anything.

"It seems we'll have to wait for Charles and the others to return," Hank sighed.

After a brief discussion, everyone quickly reached a consensus:

They should find a place to settle down for the time being, to lay low for a while, and to wait for Charles and Eric to return.

However, deciding where to go proved to be a challenge for everyone present.

Because we're all broke.

Don't be fooled by the fact that everyone here has skills that others don't; they are all actually from the bottom of society.

Among the many people who work as taxi drivers, dancers, thugs, and even those in prison, those with respectable professions like Hank are relatively few.

There is simply no money to cover the rent for seven people.

"Well!"

Mystique Raven then laughed and said mysteriously to everyone, "If you're looking to lay low for a while, I know a place."

"What is that place?"

"The place where I grew up."

After half an hour.

"Raven, are you kidding me?"

"This is the house you were talking about? This is a castle!"

"Raven, you grew up in a place like this? My God!"

Are you a princess from a royal family?

The mutants stood at the entrance of Xavier's Manor, staring in astonishment at the extravagantly luxurious building.

They found it hard to believe that such a place could be someone's home.

Is this a house?

Does that mean their understanding of houses is wrong?

"Professor X is really damn rich!"

Even Rorschach, who knew Charles's background, couldn't help but be amazed.

Charles truly lives up to his reputation as a super-rich second-generation heir!

That's right.

The famous Charles Xavier is actually one of the few rich kids in Marvel. The later mutant academy was actually converted from Charles's own house.

The Blackbird fighter jets, brainwave enhancers, and dangerous training rooms at Xavier's Genius Academy—aren't they all cutting-edge technologies?

It's impossible to manufacture without burning money.

Not to mention that Xavier Academy, although nominally a school, is more like a charity, since the students here don't have to pay tuition, and the food, drink and other necessities for so many people also cost money.

So, year after year, Professor X was left to support them all by himself.

Charles is a real tycoon!

“You’ve misunderstood. This isn’t my home; it’s Charles’s home.”

Mystique, seeing that everyone had misunderstood, began to explain, which only further provoked the crowd.

They had initially thought Charles was just an ordinary rich man.

After all, Charles's attire and aristocratic demeanor cannot be faked, and his usual speech and behavior also reveal this. But no one expected that Charles would be so wealthy.

After a long and arduous journey, and the "excitement" of being inside a secret CIA base, the group of mutants were exhausted, both physically and mentally, and were hungry and tired.

Besides, it's already past midnight.

So after a brief moment of amazement at Charles's wealth, Mystique Raven arranged rooms for everyone.

Everyone went back to their rooms to rest, which goes without saying.

Chapter 019 You are the strongest

Perhaps due to excessive fright, or perhaps because they were worried that the Black Emperor might come back to this place, everyone was extremely listless, yet they still couldn't sleep well at night.

Not only is it difficult to fall asleep, but even after finally falling asleep, one will wake up suddenly several times, and even the slightest breeze or movement is enough to make one's body tense.

They became tense.

This night was destined to be an eventful one for everyone.

The scenes of the Black King leading his men in a massacre at a CIA base have left a deep psychological scar on everyone.

Rorschach also didn't sleep, not because he was overly frightened like the others, but quite the opposite, because he was excited.

Because Rorschach couldn't wait to try out what his heat rays felt like!

"At this hour, everyone must be asleep by now, right?"

With these thoughts in mind, Luo Xia could no longer suppress his impulse and simply threw off the covers, got out of bed, and started to get up.

He planned to go to the yard and find a good spot to give it a try.

Anyway, Charles's yard is big enough for Rorschach to do his thing, as long as he's careful not to damage the flowers and plants.

Squeak~

Afraid of disturbing others, Luo Xia opened the door quietly, even tiptoeing.

They had barely stepped outside when a surprised voice rang out: "Rorschach?"

Rorschach turned his head and was equally surprised: "Raven?"

But Mystique was wearing a robe, which, though loose, still accentuated her curvaceous figure.

It's worth mentioning that at this time, Mystique doesn't look like a normal human, but rather has blue skin with special markings on it, revealing her true form.

It is clear that Mystique removes her disguise when she sleeps.

Moreover, Mystique, like everyone else, couldn't sleep at all, so she got up to get something to drink, but unexpectedly ran into Rorschach.

"Can't sleep?"

After a moment of surprise, Raven greeted Rorschach naturally and walked straight towards him.

Luo Xia secretly regretted his actions, thinking that he must use his super hearing to listen to the surrounding situation before sneaking out in the future.

This will prevent such an awkward situation.

"Aren't you too?"

Thinking this to himself, Rorschach smiled at Raven without showing any emotion.

“Everyone is very scared about what happened today.” Raven walked closer and closer until she was face to face with Rorschach.

Rorschach could clearly feel Raven's breath and smell her perfume.

“But… Rorschach, you didn’t.” Raven looked up at Rorschach with a slightly provocative gaze.

"Since none of us can sleep, maybe we can go to your room and you can tell me why you are so brave."

Is this woman lusting after my body?
