Chapter 8 Gene Suppression
"Aisha asks for a call!"

The prompt sounded suddenly, interrupting Ian's thoughts.

"Connect!"

Aisha's holographic projection appears next to Ian.

"Aisha, what happened today?" Ian asked.

Normally, Aisha would not call the laboratory directly to disturb him.

"Ian, you watch the news!" Aisha gave Ian a TV channel.

"Okay!" Ian connected the live news.

The content of the live broadcast was not some earth-shattering news, but a press conference, at which the Worthing Laboratory announced that it had found a solution to the mutant gene.

This TV live broadcast made Ian instantly recall the relevant plot: "Is the plot of X-Men 3 about to start?"

"Jin is about to be awakened too?" Ian thought of Jean Gray sleeping in the lake.

Less than a year is far from being enough to fully awaken the Phoenix Force. If Scott hadn't awakened her, she would definitely continue to sleep.

However, even the incompletely awakened Phoenix Force is enough for Jean Gray to display her fifth-level strength.

Moreover, the power of the phoenix that is not fully awakened may erupt at any time, and the power of the phoenix that is fully erupted definitely has the power to destroy the world.

Although in the original plot, the Phoenix Force did not explode in the end.

But if his external force participates too much and has too much influence, the ending may not be certain!

So Ian decided not to go against this mine:
"Let her be killed by the plot!"

Compared with Qin, Ian cared more about the little boy named Jimmy, and wanted to know the reason why he suppressed the X gene?
"Aisha, keep an eye on Worthing Laboratory, I want to see their 'antidote'." Ian instructed Aisha.

"Anytime!" Aisha replied.

Whether it is through the channel of the Carnegie family or the arrangement of the action team, entering the Worthing Laboratory is a breeze.

"Don't be too ostentatious!" Ian warned, and then hung up the phone.

The experiment has been completed, X-Genetics and Element Master have both reached level five, and Ian just wants to go out for a walk.

But before leaving the laboratory, Ian was stopped by John again.

"@#%￥#@..." John spoke so fast that he didn't know what he was talking about.

At this time, John's face was pale, and his dark circles were thick. He had been up for at least two days, but his expression was fanatical, and his eyes were very energetic.

In this state, John only has experiments in his eyes, and it won't work if anyone comes.

Ian had no choice but to stop: "Okay! John, speak slowly!"

"Okay!" John sorted out his thoughts and said:
"I found that Anna's X ability is incomplete. She can only absorb and release law energy at the same time. She cannot store law energy and lacks a method to use law energy."

"I know that!" Ian nodded, waiting for John's next words.

John went on to say: "Then I searched through the gene bank and finally found the Mystique gene.

Her X-gene ability is simulation, not only can simulate appearance, but also genes, including X-gene.

If you can simulate the X gene, you can simulate the energy of the law with a high probability! "

"And then?" Ian asked.

"I found that Anna's X gene is very compatible with Mystique's X gene, and the two can completely complement each other..." John stopped at this point.

Ian saw that John didn't come to discuss with himself, so he asked, "So? What do you want?"

"I want Mystique!" John finally said his purpose.

"Why didn't you say you want Magneto?" Ian gave him a blank stare.

Speaking of Mystique, Ian suddenly thought that there is indeed a chance to subdue Mystique recently.

"Magneto is fine too, I don't dislike it!" John didn't know whether he was pretending to be stupid or just being dumbfounded.

"Go to sleep, there is everything in the dream!"

"Seriously! Mystique never had a chance?"

"Mystique is not a little girl. The decades-old world is no less difficult to tame than Magneto, but..."

"But what!" John's eyes became eager.

"But there may be a good opportunity recently!"

"When?"

"Just wait! When the time comes, I will naturally bring her back!"

……

After talking with John for a long time, the sky has already darkened.

Ian took advantage of the night to take the aircraft to the west coast.

In just half a day, Aisha had brought people to prepare.

In the early hours of the night, Ian and Aisha quietly entered Alcatraz, which used to be the strictest prison and is now the Worthing Laboratory.

The guards are fairly strict, and the sentries are also very responsible, but it is a pity that they are completely useless to Ian and the others.

Illusion, hypnosis, invisibility, and even spatial movement, Ian and the others have too many ways to enter the laboratory quietly.

When Ian and Elsa entered Jimmy's room, Jimmy was already asleep.

Without disturbing Jimmy, Ian quietly walked to the bedside.

There is indeed an oppressive feeling!

But it was just depression, Ian didn't completely lose the feeling of X ability.

The elements can still be controlled, and there is no problem with decomposition and synthesis, and the element furnace can still be used.

After several simple tests, Ian calculated the approximate data: "The efficiency has probably decreased by about [-]%!"

After the test was over, Ian and Aisha left here quietly without leaving any traces, and only took a small amount of Jimmy's genetic samples and 'antidote' samples from the laboratory.

Back on the aircraft, Ian asked: "Aisha, the team members should have tested it? What's the result?"

"I did arrange team members to test. Without the X ability of the condensed law rune, Jimmy can completely suppress it; once the condensed law rune is used, Jimmy's suppression effect will be greatly reduced, up to [-]%!" Aisha replied.

After Ian returned, Jimmy's genetic samples and antidote samples were sent to John immediately.

Such an interesting sample immediately attracted John's attention.

Only the next day, John came up with preliminary analysis results:
"This little boy named Jimmy is also a mutant. His ability should be called gene suppression, specifically manifested as the suppression of unstable gene fragments."

"The X gene is also an unstable gene fragment, so it is naturally within his suppression range."

"Ordinary mutants' ability core is the X gene, so it will be completely suppressed; while our ability core is the law rune, and the X gene only plays an auxiliary role, so it will only be partially suppressed."

"Also, Jimmy's ability only suppresses unstable genes, not eliminates them.

Therefore, the antidote of the Worthin laboratory is also time-sensitive, and it is not as permanent as they advertise. "

Ian expressed his understanding of this approach: "Under normal circumstances, maintenance potions are definitely more profitable than immunity potions, but the 'antidote' for mutants is an exception.

The issue of mutants has been heavily hyped. In fact, there are no more than 5000 mutants in the entire United States.

How many copies of their 'antidote' can be sold if they are not packaged as immune medicines and sold to ordinary people? "
