Chapter 196 The Third Trap That Stimulates the Predictive Instinct

Although a fierce battle is about to usher in, the US team also picked up a strange lame boy on the way.

However, the little Magneto and Raul, who also have a strong sense of justice, did not feel that they were burdened.

As Steve carried the blond boy up the lift, Raul gave orders to the nearest sentinel robot.

The huge X-gene pool endows the sentinel robots with all kinds of strange abilities, and it is not uncommon for them to have mutant abilities with healing effects.

So the next moment, a green beam of light full of vitality shot from the right eye of the sentinel robot to the left leg of the blond boy.

And under the light of that green beam of light, the other party bent [-] degrees from the knee down, exposing the boney wound, and it began to heal instantly.

The calf bones and broken bone fragments inside seemed to have returned to their normal form naturally after being gently touched by a benevolent goddess.

In just a few seconds, a young man who seemed to be forever suffering from the pain of a broken leg and could no longer live without a cane, looked no different from ordinary people in appearance.

Seeing this scene, Captain America also showed a smile on his face.

Then, he lowered the boy from his arms to the ground.

What everyone didn't expect was that when the blond boy's feet touched the ground, there was no abnormality in his right leg, but his left leg seemed to have no strength at all.

It was difficult to maintain the balance of the body, and the blond boy fell to the ground towards his left side in an instant.

Fortunately, Steve at the side had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and held him back, otherwise he would inevitably fall with a black nose and a bruised face.

"Don't worry too much. Your left leg should have been inactive for too long, and the muscles have degenerated for a while. After a period of training, you can walk normally."

These are words of relief from Captain America.

He turned to look at the little Magneto and Raul on the other side of the elevator, hoping that they would echo his statement and comfort the blond boy as well.

"Well, what Captain Rogers said makes sense. It will take a while to see the result."

Raul's response was vague. Obviously, what happened to the blond boy exceeded his expectations.

The ability that he can think of and use in the first place is naturally the best healing effect among all the abilities that the sentinel robot can simulate.

Based on past practice, this talent from a certain beta-level mutant can heal almost all physical injuries.

The most exaggerated one, an Ionian warrior who was directly split in two by the enemy during the mission, was healed by the green light, and grew back to most of his body without leaving any sequelae.

That warrior continues to hunt down transgressors for Ionia to this day.

So there is such an example before, the blond boy still does not have a recovered left knee, which will naturally arouse the infinite reverie of Little Magneto and Raul.

Is it the opponent's disguise, or is it the powerful force they have never seen before that caused the blond boy's leg injury?
Little Magneto and Raul looked at each other, and they both saw the seriousness in their eyes.

In any case, unexpected situations occurred during this mission, which obviously foreshadowed a possible crisis. Be careful, and there will be no problem.

And the awe-inspiring aura of the two mutant teenagers also made other people in the elevator feel that something was wrong.

Captain America glanced at the crippled boy who was still being supported by him, and his vigilance also increased to a higher level.

The elevator creaked again, descending towards the ground.

At this time, the few of them were already located more than 200 meters underground, very close to the lair of Mister Sinister below.

If the opponent has set up a trap, it must be within this short range.

And soon, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who was manipulating the floating surveillance ball told everyone about his discovery again.

"250 meters below, my surveillance ball passed a powerful ray and determined that there is a large cavity behind the tunnel wall, and there seems to be some unknown liquid stored in it."

Unknown liquid, Captain America frowned upon hearing his agent's description.

As the elevator went down one step further, the aperture of this slightly inclined deep underground well became smaller and smaller.

If the tunnel cavity fed by the monitoring ball and the unknown liquid in the cavity are really one of the traps arranged by Mister Sinister.

Then they will undoubtedly have to find a way to destroy it first.

Otherwise, when the other party gave an order, the unknown liquid in the cavity would suddenly pour out, and it would be impossible for them to escape in such a small area.

I can only rely on my strength and luck to try to see if I can stick to the past.

Such an adventure with extremely uncertain results is obviously impossible for the US team to consider.

So he turned his head and told Little Magneto and Raul his plan:

"Since it is the weirdness detected by the floating monitoring ball, then we must check it carefully."

"Let the elevator stay a little higher in a moment. I will tie the safety rope and go down for a closer look, and try to take some samples of the unknown liquid."

"If it's just ordinary groundwater, then we can open two holes in the wall and let them flow out by themselves."

"Once it's really found to be a special liquid with unknown properties, then today's investigation will be over. Wait for my men to study the type of liquid clearly before proceeding with the next cooperation!"

It was a very careful decision. Their sneaking into the manor today and taking the elevator would obviously leave a lot of traces.

The next batch of Mister Sinister's subordinates to search for experimental materials, unless they are extremely careless, will definitely notice something strange.

Then the vigilant Mr. Sinister will increase the difficulty of arresting by two levels again.

But for Captain America, he has experienced too many various tasks, and he knows that the more he clings to a success, the more he will fail.

However, his experience was obviously not recognized by the two mutant teenagers.

Little Magneto looked at Raul and asked casually:
"No problem, unknown liquid, maybe you can do what Captain Rogers suggested, find out the ingredients and try to solve it?"

Facing the ridiculing question from Magneto, Raul smiled slightly, then turned to Steve and said confidently:

"Captain Rogers, your thoughts are indeed more cautious, but I think that as long as you understand my ability a little, you will feel that such caution is not necessary."

As soon as the words fell, the elevator fell more than [-] meters at extreme speed under the control of the little Magneto, and came to the area where the floating monitoring ball found abnormalities.

And the next moment, Raul closed his eyes, and reached out to touch the wet and greasy earth-stone tunnel wall outside the elevator.

In an instant, Raul's body became as transparent as clear water, and in the dim underground tunnel, it could actually reflect ripples of water light.

At the same time, the other people on the side also felt the air around them become moist.

Between exhalation and inhalation, the diffuse water vapor makes people feel a sense of suffocation inexplicably.

Where Raul's liquid body touched the wall, his clear and transparent body was suddenly mixed with turbid yellow muddy water.

Inside, there are even various corrosive chemicals, gene inducers with pollution effects, and various highly toxic liquids.

Obviously their judgment was not wrong, this abnormal cavity was a trap deliberately dug out by Mister Sinister.

The liquid stored inside is all kinds of liquid waste produced in his experiments.

In Mister Sinister's imagination, these liquids mixed with countless dangerous substances would be an unstoppable nightmare for any intruder.

As long as it is contaminated with a drop, even he, the instigator, probably can't think of a way to remove it harmlessly, let alone an intruder who doesn't know about the composition of these liquids.

But he probably never expected that among the superpowers who came to arrest this time, there would be a mutant boy nicknamed "Liquid".

As Raul grows older, coupled with the joint development of the academy's tutors, his ability is no longer limited to changing his body into a liquid form.

At this time, he can actually take a nickname similar to the little Magneto King, "Wan Ye Wang".

As long as the substance exists in liquid form, Raul can manipulate, absorb, simulate, and strengthen it arbitrarily after touching it.

Therefore, the mixed venom that Mr. Sinister placed high hopes on was not absorbed by Raul at all. It was like a long whale absorbing water, and soon became several new types of simulated objects in Raul's liquid illustrations. .

He waved his hand to indicate that he had done it, and the elevator could go down safely.

Raul lifted the liquid state of his body, leaving only his right hand still glowing with water.

Then, as if he got a new toy, he simulated the new types of liquids he absorbed just now, without any scruples about the disgusted eyes of Little Magneto holding his nose.

Reagents with dangerous chemical components must have a pungent smell.

However, the torment of Little Magneto didn't last long, because soon, the floating surveillance ball found traces of suspected traps.

To be honest, the trap this time is very obvious.

Numerous irregularly shaped metal pillars protruded from one side of the wall, and then were deeply inserted into the inner wall of the tunnel on the other side.

These slotted metal pillars with spots of rust on the surface, but with a ferocious dark light faintly appear, just like this across the bottom of the elevator.

Dividing this small space into fragments, at the same time, it is also eager to cut all reckless intruders into pieces.

Captain America tried to throw the shield in his hand towards the end of a metal pillar connected to the wall, as if he wanted to see if these metal pillars were fancy or not.

However, the result of the attempt obviously made him a little disappointed.

The Edman alloy shield was naturally not damaged at all, and bounced back into Captain America's hands smoothly.

But on the surface of the metal pillar that was slammed by the shield, there were only dents that were extremely difficult to catch.

Obviously, although the material of these metal pillars is not as good as Adamantium alloy, it is also an extremely hard and precious material.

It's just that this time Steve didn't say his old-fashioned and prudent advice.

Turning his attention to Little Magneto, he was very impressed by the mutant ability possessed by the other party.

And Little Magneto didn't disappoint him either.

Compared with the previous Raul who needed physical contact to activate his ability, Magneto's manipulation of magnetic metal is undoubtedly more relaxed and freehand.

There was no need for gestures to aid concentration, just a thought, and the hard metal pillar, which was almost dented under the full-scale attack of the US team, seemed to be made of waste paper at this time.

Under the action of the cosmic force of the magnetic field, it was quickly crushed into balls of metal balls.

The dangerous area blocking the lift instantly turned into a smooth road.

"It's kind of boring. We seem to have overestimated that guy named Mister Sinister, and we rushed down to deal with him. It doesn't feel like there's any danger!"

Little Magneto's words were somewhat flamboyant.

However, the US team and another S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who had just enjoyed the other party's performance couldn't help agreeing with the other party.

As a collaborator, Little Magneto's actions and words along the way are full of arrogance.

Let the people on SHIELD feel somewhat uncomfortable in their hearts.

But now that the opponent made a move, showing his great strength, Captain America and the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent suddenly took all this for granted.

The proud son of heaven, however, it is normal to be a little arrogant.

Everyone's thoughts were floating, and the elevator began to continue downward.

At a distance of 500 meters from the ground, only the last [-] meters left, the floating surveillance ball has reached the lowest part of the tunnel, and is feeding back the situation at the elevator platform to the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

"Everything is safe, there are no enemies patrolling below."

The information from the floating monitoring ball made everyone in the elevator secretly relieved, including the little Magneto who seemed indifferent on the surface.

Although the two traps in the tunnel were more easily resolved by them.

But compared with the trap itself, the sudden warnings of SHIELD agents are actually more tests of their nerves.

If there were a few more times, and the few people who needed to maintain a high degree of vigilance at all times, it would probably be difficult to tighten the strings in their hearts.

So hurry up and cross this last distance.

Little Magneto thought this in his heart, and the speed of the elevator's downward movement in his mind also increased suddenly.

But in the next second, the crippled boy who had been huddled in the corner obediently without making a sound, suddenly stopped the behavior of Little Magneto.

"Sorry, I hope you stop immediately, there seems to be some kind of trap below."

The sudden opening of the blond boy undoubtedly surprised others.

And the little Magneto, who often ignores other people's suggestions, heard his words, but for some reason, he instinctively followed the other party's request and stopped the elevator.

But when he reacted, the expression on Little Magneto's face had become extremely ugly.

"There are still traps, how do you know?"

Before Magneto questioned him aloud, Captain America, who sensed that the mutant boy was upset, spoke up first.

Apparently his questioning was much softer.

"It was my instinct to foresee danger that told me, Steve."

With the instinct to predict danger, upon hearing the blond boy's answer, the little Magneto sneered, and the better-tempered US team and Raul also showed helpless expressions on their faces.

The statement "instinct" is undoubtedly trustworthy when spoken from some people.

But the blond boy is just a strange man of unknown origin, somewhat special, but without extraordinary abilities.

Obviously, he can't convince anyone by using his "instinct" as an excuse.

But Captain America didn't seem to want to disappoint the blond boy. He touched the top of the other's head, and then suggested to the two of Raul:
"Then slow down and let this little guy try to find more clues."
