The Hell Merchant in American Comics

Conditions inside the dam are dire.

When the mutants rushed in, Stryker was nowhere to be found.The explosion caused by Nicole caused great damage to the dam. Slender cracks covered the entire wall. Water was constantly seeping from the wall, and small water jets even spurted out in some places.

This dam is on the verge of collapse.

Alec casually threw it to detect evil. What made him regretful was that most of the soldiers here were not evil, and he did not see the red light he was expecting.

"You go find Charles, and I'll go find Nicole."

Qin was a little surprised: "You know where Nicole is?"

Alec smiled: "I can guess a little bit."

Qin closed her eyes, searched the dam with her mental power, and said a little depressed: "I can't find that little girl, forget it, she is left to you, remember to bring her out safely."

After being together for a while, the two separated.

Alec yawned boredly and walked out.He could tell from the current situation of the dam that Stryker must have run away. In the absence of tracking spells, his chance of catching Stryker was almost zero. As for Nicole, if Stryker had not dissected her If she fell, she should have escaped from the dam long ago.

Unexpectedly, Nicole's figure appeared behind him.

"Alec, are you planning to leave me here?"

Alec was stunned for a moment, and turned around in surprise: "You're actually still here."

Nicole was furious: "What do you mean I'm still here? Do you think I shouldn't be here?"

Alec nodded: "Of course, you should understand such a simple truth that a gentleman should not stand behind a dangerous wall. From what I know about you, after the explosion, you should have escaped from the dam as soon as possible. Could it be that you would In order to save Charles and those little brats, he ignored his own safety and stayed here."

Nicole looked ugly: "Alec"

"Don't pretend to understand me very well, you know nothing about me at all."

"Really?" Alec was unmoved, "Then can you explain why you stayed in the dam? In fact, I think you are right. I don't know you at all. There are too many mysteries about you. Why don't you explain why you were caught by that stupid pig Stryker? Why you are so thirsty for a holy soul that you almost forgot? And the most important point is why two bottles of human red wine can actually summon a charm. Demon Princess, don’t you think this is ridiculous?”

Nicole's face turned red.

Alec stared at her for a long time, but still got no answer.

He said with some disappointment: "Since you don't want to answer, I won't force you, just go out with me."

The two walked outside in silence.

Alec walked slowly because he wanted to hear the answer from Nicole.He hoped that Nicole would give him an explanation and a reason to trust her.

But he was ultimately disappointed.

Until the two of them walked out of the dam, Nicole still didn't give an explanation.

After more than ten minutes, the Alkali Lake Dam has begun to collapse, and the huge water pressure is crushing it bit by bit.As more and more cracks appeared on the outer wall of the dam, jets of water spurted out from the cracks, and the deafening sound of water echoed along the embankment.Alec looked around, but did not find Charles and the others coming out. He suddenly had a very bad feeling in his heart.

Stryker escaped early, but the dam still collapsed.

Could they be trapped in the dam?

Dam failure is imminent.

Nicole couldn't sit still. She hesitated and looked at Alec: "Maybe I can help them."

Alec asked in surprise: "What are you going to do?"

Nicole did not answer, but simply said: "I need a soul."

Alec hesitated for a moment, but took out ten soul coins and placed them in Nicole's palm.

Nicole took out a dagger, cut her wrist, and then carved an exquisite magic circle on the wound.This is a formation that Alec has never seen before. In fact, not only has he never seen the formation, but he can't even understand the spell runes. But judging from the shape, the spell used by Nicole seems to be similar to that of Xian Xian. The sacrificial array is somewhat similar

Alec carefully recalled Nicole's expertise, and soon he determined the ability that Nicole was using.

Divination.

This is the most mysterious of all magical abilities.

In fact, among the mystical spells, there are many prophecy spells, but Alec knows that most of these spells are lies.Time and space are areas that even the gods cannot fully understand. How could they be predicted by such a simple spell?

Take a classic mid-level mystery spell, Hogarth's prophecy, as an example.When the spellcaster uses spells, he will see a fictional future, and then he will unconsciously work towards this future until this future becomes reality. In fact, Hogarth's prophecy is not a "prediction" spell at all, but a A very powerful hypnosis spell. The most terrifying thing is that this spell hypnotizes not the enemy, but the caster himself.

But divination is different.

This is real, the ability to predict the future to some extent.

Even though the results of this kind of prediction are vague and difficult to control, there is still no denying the power of the divination skill.

Ten soul coins were crushed by Nicole, and the light blue energy overflowed. The red spell runes on her wrist seemed to come alive, twisting into her wounds.Red blood immediately sprayed out, and a vague pattern emerged on the ground.

This is the structural diagram of the dam.

However, on this picture, the positions of Charles and others are marked.

Alec on the side half-squinted his eyes. The ability Nicole was showing now was no longer divination. The scene in front of him was more like a variant of the divination specialty, guidance.What surprised him was that this expertise did not appear in Nicole's skill bar. Just in case, Alec checked again with detection, but Nicole's skill bar did not have this skill.

This is very interesting.

Charles and others already have an escape route, but how to inform them is a problem.

The dam is about to collapse, and neither Alec nor Nicole want to go back inside.At this time, the only thing she can rely on is remote communication. Nicole is considering whether to take the initiative to contact Charles using mental spells. She is afraid that Charles will peek into her past, and she is even more afraid that Charles will know her identity.Just when she hesitated, Alec solved the problem perfectly.

He took out his phone, took a photo, and sent it to Qin.

Lake Alkali is a military base, but it is also a tourist attraction and has network coverage.Alec played with his phone for a while when he was bored, so he was sure that his pictures could be posted.

Not long after, Jean escaped from the dam with Charles.

Then, with a deafening collapse, the Alkali Lake dam collapsed completely, and huge boulders mixed with floodwater swept majestically downstream. The X-Men rescued Charles and successfully escaped, and they all looked very happy.

The ones with uglier faces were the tens of thousands of Magneto and his group.

William Stryker ran away, and their operation could be said to be a complete failure. However, what made Magneto feel most heartbroken was the death of his right-hand man Raven.Although Alec said he wanted to try to resurrect Raven, no one actually thought he could do it
