one had to go through the basement opening of the five-story apartment building with the mottled outer walls before them, and after walking for about fifty meters, one would arrive at the mutant underground community.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sewer pipes here seemed to have been abandoned; they lacked the dampness typical of ordinary sewers, and although the air didn't smell particularly good, the place was small but complete with all the necessary organs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Epsilon-class mutants were visible to the naked eye, though they weren't dressed well, and their spirits didn't look particularly good either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mutants help mutants.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although the living conditions here aren't great, at the very least, they can survive here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If they were outside, once discovered, within half an hour, the people from the Sentinel Services would take them away, and they would never appear again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the guidance of Hearing Wanda, who used her Scarlet Chaos magic to disguise herself as a mutant, the administrator of the underground community who led them inside introduced the place as such.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they didn't have an X-gene detector, so there was no way to tell with the naked eye whether Hearing Wanda was truly a mutant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Wanda’s gaze swept over those Epsilon-class mutants with severely deformed appearances, then she captured the keywords in the administrator's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wasn't the Sentinel Services abolished ten years ago, when Magneto caused a scene in Washington?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the administrator sneered incessantly: \"That’s what those brightly dressed gentlemen on Capitol Hill said, but they simply moved their persecution of our people from the surface to the underground; their persecution of us has never stopped.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But judging by the tone of his voice, it was clear that this administrator held a great deal of resentment toward the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enough to sustain an Evil Sword Immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his mutant ability weren't perhaps a bit weak, the administrator might have had the urge to take a blade to the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hawk looked at the administrator, whose face was filled with resentment and anger, and thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two followed the administrator to a recessed platform built into the most common part of the sewer, where there was a rusty iron door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pushing open the iron door, they arrived behind it, in an air-raid shelter about the size of two football fields that had been excavated at the same time the sewer was built.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air-raid shelter was brightly lit, and some mutants with mutated appearances, along with others who looked no different from ordinary people, walked about in twos and threes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the mutant underground community of Niuyuecheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Under normal circumstances, this place only opens at ten o'clock at night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And closes at four in the morning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"During this time, as long as you are a mutant, you can come here to seek help from us or other kin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The administrator led the two to a small room on the edge of the air-raid shelter that seemed to be used for office work, invited them to sit down, explained the operating rules of this underground community, and then shrugged: \"After all, mutants help mutants, so, you two, is there anything I can help you with?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Wanda didn't speak, looking at Hawk to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hawk said directly: \"I heard from Solon that people here know the address of the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Solon was the name of that beatnik.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He roughly knew that the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters should be in the suburbs of Niuyuecheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let's put it this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People in the East Pearl think that everyone outside their city is a country bumpkin, and Niuyuecheng is the same; once you leave Niuyuecheng, it's the suburbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, even in the vicinity of Niuyuecheng, the range is vast; rather than searching aimlessly, it was better to follow the clues provided by that beatnik Solon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The administrator was slightly taken aback upon hearing Hawk's intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want to find the X-School?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving confirmation, the administrator gave an apologetic smile: \"I don't know the address of the X-School, and even if I did, I wouldn't advise you to go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hawk raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Wanda was a bit curious upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No one knows the address of the X-School.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The administrator, having already learned that Hawk and Hearing Wanda had come to Niuyuecheng from out of town, and now hearing their intent, realized they were aiming for the legendary X-School that sheltered mutants, and said with a serious expression: \"You cannot find the X-School; you can only let the X-School find you. The so-called addresses of the X-School circulating nowadays are almost all fake; they are traps set by the Sentinel Services to lure us in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You cannot find the X-School; you can only let the X-School find you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are the currently circulating addresses of the X-School all traps set by the Sentinel Services?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hawk listened to the administrator's serious explanation, his expression thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, the X-School is by invitation only?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who knows.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The administrator shrugged and chuckled: \"If every mutant knew about the X-School and could go there, my mutant underground community wouldn't exist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was also a fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew that Magneto was the hawkish leader of the mutants, but since what happened ten years ago, Magneto had also gone missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Likewise, all mutants knew the great name of Professor X, Charles Xavier, and the X-School he founded to shelter all mutants was also whispered among mutants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing is false, seeing is believing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the administrator handed the two poured glasses of whiskey to Hawk and Hearing Wanda, he smiled again and said: \"At the very least, in my memory, I have never seen any mutant I know go to the X-School, or rather, some kin have gone, but I have never seen them appear again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hawk took the whiskey handed over by the administrator and took a sip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being told this by the administrator, fragments about the X-School, as well as the fragments he saw when entering the sewer, surfaced in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come to think of it, it seemed that he had indeed never seen Epsilon-class mutants in the movie clips about the X-School.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is to say, mutant wanderers whose abilities were dispensable and whose appearances were severely deformed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What exactly is the X-School, which protects and shelters all mutants, protecting and sheltering?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hawk had no malice toward the famous Professor X, but he had no fondness for him either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of his business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just wanted to find the X-School and see if the Jean here was his daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hawk thought to himself, then looked at the administrator and clinked glasses with him: \"So, if I want to find the X-School, is there any way?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The administrator took a sip of the drink in his glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Phoenix, you seem very concerned about the X-School. Can you tell me the reason? Of course, if it's inconvenient...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our daughter is suspected to be inside the X-School.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The administrator's expression was slightly stunned as he looked at Hawk and the Hearing Wanda beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the two had serious expressions, with no trace of joking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The administrator gasped, then gave a wry smile and shook his head: \"Sorry, I really don't know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hawk was not disappointed upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are always more solutions than difficulties.\u003C\u002Fp>",1332,"2026-06-18T05:22:56.300Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","2881971decd5ebe6e47a0c5ae7b33d49e10d49862c1fb6acafd54d7c18184886","marvel-awakening-the-cosmo-at-the-start-chapter-953","marvel-awakening-the-cosmo-at-the-start-chapter-951",999,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-awakening-the-cosmo-at-the-start-cover.jpeg"]
