Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 779 Searching for Mutants (Second Update)

"If things are really as you say, then I agree to your terms."

Charles thought for a moment, then nodded.

If things really develop as Jerry said, and Raven can resolve his inner turmoil, then spending time helping him specifically find a mutant isn't unacceptable, especially since it's a year from now.

"Alright, if that's the case, then things will be much easier!"

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Jerry nodded, raised his hand and tapped lightly twice in the direction of Raven and Hank, then two blue magical rays shot onto the two of their foreheads.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw that Raven, who had originally looked like an Avatar, began to rapidly degenerate from head to toe, turning into normal human skin.

"I am not using my abilities right now!"

Looking at her fair skin and voluptuous figure, Raven raised her hand to touch her hair and face, and immediately revealed a look of surprise.

When she is asleep, unconscious, and not actively using her abilities, she has that blue skin appearance.

The beautiful appearance she usually presents to the public is merely a facade she maintains using her ability to change appearances.

However, she did not use her abilities, and her body reverted to its usual form as a normal, beautiful human.

What does this mean? It means that what Jerry just said was true, and she has finally gotten rid of her monster appearance.

"Hiss~ Hiss~ Hiss~ Hiss~"

Along with Raven's surprised voice, four different men in the laboratory simultaneously gasped in astonishment.

They are from Jerry, Eric, Hank, and Charles, respectively.

After all, Raven, now transformed into a normal human, possessed an impressive physique that would leave any man in awe.

"Hurry up and put on your clothes!"

Charles, who treated Raven like a younger sister, was the first to react. He quickly took off his coat and was about to put it on Raven.

At this moment, the excited Raven didn't care so much. She had a rather open personality and wouldn't panic like a shy little girl when it came to occasional displays.

"No need, I can manage on my own."

Pushing the coat away from Charles's hand, Raven activated his ability, transforming into Charles's appearance, and simultaneously donning the same coat as Charles.

Raven's shapeshifting ability not only allows her to transform into another person, but she can also mimic and change the clothes worn by that person.

"Very good, it seems your abilities haven't disappeared."

Eric, who was standing nearby, nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Hank also took off his special shoes and examined his originally beast-like large feet.

His large feet have now returned to normal size and shape, just like a normal human foot, and one can still feel the explosive power within him, like that of a wild beast.

"Alright, perfect!"

Seeing that both of them had met the expected standards, Jerry clapped his hands.

Based on previous experience studying the bodies of the Eternals, and having just analyzed the X genes of Raven and Hank in the gene potion using an analysis array, combined with human transformation magic...

In the short time that Jerry had been talking, he had already created magic to fill the X-gene defect in the two of them, helping to resolve their physical abnormalities.

"Jerry, thank you!"

After the initial excitement subsided, Raven, who had put his clothes back on and regained his original appearance, and Hank, who was barefoot, bowed to Jerry to express their gratitude.

Although Jerry said it was a deal, they were still sincerely grateful for his help.

Three days later, Hank looked at the research and development documents on the brainwave diffusion device in his hand, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Just as Jerry had predicted, the CIA director issued a document instructing him to develop a device that could help Charles deploy a brainwave diffuser, hoping to collect more mutants.

"You can apply to me for any equipment you need, and there are no funding restrictions. This is your top priority right now. The director requires that we see results within a month if possible."

The head of the science and technology department handed the document to Hank and said this.

Hank nodded confidently:

"It shouldn't take a month, it should be completed in half a month."

Knowing that Jerry wanted to find a mutant named Jean Grey, Hank devoted himself to research on the device that could amplify Charles's brainwaves in order to repay Jerry.

Moreover, with some ideas provided by Jerry, initial results have already been achieved.

If all goes well, the first-generation brainwave diffuser may be ready for use in two weeks.

"That's great! I'll go talk to Charles right now about the arrangements for the mission to find other mutants."

The head of the science and technology department's eyes lit up. He patted Hank on the shoulder and left to negotiate with Charles.

A week later, in a special laboratory on the fifth floor of the CIA's technology building, Jerry looked at the first-generation brainwave diffusion device, which was already in its initial stages of completion, and nodded in satisfaction.

Although he is not good at physics, there are quite a few genius scientists in his ring universe who are good at physics, similar to Doctor Octopus.

He only needs to hand over the difficulties Hank encountered in researching the brainwave diffuser to the scientists in the Ring Universe, and they will be able to solve them quickly.

This resulted in Hank completing the first generation of brainwave diffusion device in just ten days.

The first-generation brainwave diffuser was far inferior to the brainwave diffusers of decades later, which could clearly locate and identify all mutants on Earth, and could only roughly display the approximate coordinates of mutants in relatively close locations.

No problem, there's still a year left. Jerry can help Hank evolve his brainwave diffuser ahead of schedule, allowing it to make a leap forward that will take decades.

"Professor, are you sure you don't want to shave your head?"

Inside the lab, Hank placed the brainwave diffuser helmet on Charles's head and gave him a friendly reminder.

Charles rolled his eyes:

"Nobody is allowed to touch my hair!"

As a descendant of British nobility, Charles is very concerned about his image.

"Excessive mental exertion can easily lead to hair loss; it's only a matter of time."

Jerry remembered the bald old Professor X he had seen in Universe 838 and couldn't help but make a joke.

Although Apocalypse is said to be the culprit behind Charles's baldness, in reality, according to the old version of the universe, even without Apocalypse, Charles would eventually go bald anyway.

So Jerry's joke wasn't really a joke, but a fact.

Why are math, physics, and chemistry teachers, programmers, and novelists so prone to hair loss? It's not just due to congenital conditions; excessive mental exertion is also a major contributing factor.

Charles's telepathy and mind control abilities, including his frequent use of EEG diffusers in his later years, have led to severe overuse of his brain, resulting not only in hair loss but also in the possibility of developing Alzheimer's disease in the future.
