Upon hearing the Ancient One say that someone would handle the matter, Mordo asked curiously, "Teacher, who are you referring to? Is it one of the arcane sorcerers?"

"No!"

Looking at Mordo, the Ancient One smiled and said, "He is a king who launches a challenge every three years in order to save his mother's soul, but always fails."

Whether he succeeds this time depends on whether he can overcome his inner struggles!

After speaking, the Ancient One looked outside, then slowly rose and said, "However, some disobedient fellows do indeed need a warning!"

With that, the Ancient One opened a magical portal and then disappeared into the magical temple.

As dusk fell, the setting sun gradually sank below the horizon.

Inside the black Chevrolet, Gwen's excited voice kept coming from her phone.

"Lynn, do you know what? I woke up to find I'm much stronger than before. Just now, when I went to the bathroom, I accidentally broke off the doorknob!"

"And another thing, I've discovered that my senses have become much more enhanced; even flies appear to move in slow motion in front of me!"

"And also, I can actually climb walls now! Good heavens, I can hang upside down from the ceiling!"

Hearing Gwen's excited voice on the phone, Lynn Hall chuckled and asked, "Can you shoot webs?"

"what?"

Gwen paused for a moment when Lynn asked her question.

He raised his hand and tried to shoot out spider silk, but no spider silk or anything like that came out.

"It seems like it can't!"

Shaking her head, Gwen said, "Lynn, you mean... the reason I possess these abilities isn't because I awakened a mutant gene, but because I was bitten by a spider?"

In this world where mutants exist, it's possible for an ordinary person to suddenly gain superpowers.

They would subconsciously believe that they had awakened mutant genes and become mutants.

So Gwen subconsciously believed that she had become a mutant.

However, because her father is the commissioner of the New York Police Department and Lynn is an FBI agent, Gwen is not as worried as other mutants.

But now Lynn is saying that his abilities are very likely related to the spider that bit him.

Gwen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She doesn't reject mutants, but she doesn't want to be discriminated against because she is a mutant!

"Gwen, let's pretend this never happened for now. We'll discuss everything after I get back!"

"Also, don't let anyone know about your abilities. I'll tell Uncle George and Aunt Helen when the time is right!"

Faced with Lynn's persuasion, Gwen immediately agreed.

She knew that Lynn would never harm her.

I watched as Dennis drove back, bringing dozens of chickens, ducks, and geese with him.

After saying a few words to Gwen, Lynn hung up the phone and got out of the car.

He instructed his men to attach tracking and camera devices to the chickens, ducks, and geese.

Once the images transmitted from the camera on the animal are displayed on the laptop.

So he had Sean drive the animals inside.

After dozens of chickens, ducks and geese arrived at the edge of the thick fog that enveloped the town, they flapped their wings and refused to go in.

It seemed there was something in the town that terrified them, so Sean forcibly herded the animals inside.

The moment the chickens, ducks, and geese entered the thick fog, the screen on the laptop abruptly stopped, replaced by a static-filled image with no signal.

And suddenly, a series of low growls and animal screams came from within the thick fog.

Upon hearing this terrifying growl, everyone present immediately went on high alert.

Fully armed federal agents aimed their submachine guns at the thick fog ahead, ready to fire at any monster that emerged from it!

The growls continued for a moment, then the town returned to calm.

But the animals' screams also stopped, and everything was as if nothing had happened!

Closing his laptop, Lynn Hall frowned as he looked at the thick fog enveloping the town.

The sky was gradually darkening, and I remembered what the county policeman had said: there would be many pairs of blood-red eyes in the darkness.

Lynn Hall then waved to Alice.

"Boss, should I lead the brothers and charge in to check it out?"

Alice approached Lynn, holding her weapon, and asked a question.

"Don't enter the town for now, let's talk about it tomorrow during the day. Also, tell the brothers to be on high alert tonight."

"If anything jumps out of the town, shoot it dead immediately!"

"Also, keep a close eye on vehicles and traffic signals. Notify me immediately if any surrounding signals are blocked!"

"yes!"

Upon hearing Lynn's order, Alice immediately relayed it.

Alice felt as if there was always a pair of eyes watching her as the sun set.

After the sun had completely disappeared, the makeshift camp outside the town was brightly lit.

Beside the campfire.

Lynn was grilling chicken wings on a metal skewer, while Dennis, sitting opposite him, had his head down as if he had done something wrong.

"So, you think that little girl with hallucinogenic abilities is very pitiful? That's why you want to protect her and keep her identity a secret?"

Turning the half-cooked chicken wings over, Lynn looked at Dennis and asked.

"Yes, boss. After she and her companions escaped from the orphanage, they've been hiding."

"If I hadn't happened to run into her and her companion, those two girls might still be hiding under the bridge!"

At this point, Dennis looked at Lynn Hall and said, "Boss, I guarantee that these two little girls have never hurt any ordinary people."

"Lola is only 13 years old, and Polaris is only 14 years old. As far as I know, the worst thing they've ever done is that Laura used her hallucinogenic powers to trick a stranger out of two hamburgers."

"You just said that Laura's companion is called Polaris?"

Upon hearing Dennis mention the nickname, Lynn looked at him and asked, "What's that North Star's real name?"

"have no idea!"

Dennis shook his head at Lynn and said, "Boss, in all the time I've known them, Polaris has always been unwilling to reveal her name."

Even after I used all my pocket money to rent a house for them, Polaris still wouldn't reveal anything about herself!

Seeing that his boss seemed interested in the girl nicknamed Polaris, Dennis gave her a detailed introduction: "Laura told me that Polaris met her at the same orphanage."

"I don't know about Polaris's mutant abilities; I've never seen her use them. However, she has a somewhat melancholic personality and can become quite irritable when she's in trouble."

"Oh, what's most striking about her is her dark green hair!"
