Just as Kathleen and Magdalena were at odds with each other, Irmir, who had left St. John's Cathedral, saw something strange. A dark figure, acting furtively, crept out from the opposite street, from Columbia University.

A sly smile gradually spread across Irmir's face, for he saw the woman who had emerged from Columbia University, whose form was still twisting and writhing as she walked.

Originally tall and with a pretty face, she gradually transformed into a blue-skinned, scaly "Avatar."

Moreover, she hadn't noticed Irmir standing at the cathedral's entrance, and the transformation continued, quickly turning her into the appearance of Quentin. Even the scales on her body turned into a neatly pressed white suit, and her arrogant and domineering expression made it impossible to tell that she was an imposter.

The night wind blew down the street, and the transformed Quentin, upon seeing Irmir standing opposite, seemed genuinely startled.

Her steps instantly stopped, and her whole body tensed up.

Irmir remained silent, feeling like the protagonist in a detective comic, always encountering trouble wherever he went. He had seen the "X-Men" series before, and this was clearly a very powerful super-spy under Magneto's command, a living Morpho!

Morpho can arbitrarily change her cellular and tissue structure, allowing her to transform into anyone's appearance, including irises, fingerprints, skin texture, voice, and even gender; her clothing can also mimic the texture of any attire, even glasses. Therefore, she rarely wears real clothes.

However, Irmir had heard that after removing her blue scaly skin, Morpho was actually a stunning beauty. He had no chance to verify this in his previous life, but he never thought he would encounter a live one in this world.

Morpho, no, no, no, the super-spy Morpho, who had transformed into Quentin Landau, was also greatly surprised by Irmir's sudden appearance. Her sharp gaze cautiously scanned Irmir, and she smiled, "Irmir, what a coincidence. You didn't see anything, did you?"

Irmir chuckled bitterly, "If I say I came out to buy soy sauce, will you believe me?"

Morpho ground her teeth, looking at Irmir and shaking her head, "No, I don't believe you!"

Although Irmir felt a bit sentimental, he wasn't one to be easily bullied. With the abilities of a怨鬼 (vengeful ghost), Irmir and Morpho would be evenly matched in a fight. He was somewhat curious and asked, "What have you done to Cledia? I mean, my girlfriend!"

This statement felt awkward, as Irmir had never actually met Cledia, who was supposed to be his girlfriend in this world.

"You seem very concerned about your little girlfriend, but don't worry, I haven't done anything to her," Morpho said in Quentin's voice, mimicking it perfectly, which made Irmir feel very uncomfortable.

Her eyes twinkled as she looked at Irmir and smiled, "If you're very worried, come with me. I can take you to see your girlfriend."

Irmir sighed inwardly as Morpho spoke, feeling her gaze fixed on him. No matter how he responded, Morpho wouldn't let him leave.

He raised his head boldly and smiled at the Morpho who had transformed into Quentin, "Alright, how should I address you?"

Since the situation had come to this, Irmir had no reason to back down. His personality was free-spirited; although he didn't want to cause trouble, he wasn't afraid of it, especially with his extraordinary superpowers.

"You can just call me Quentin. I hope you know what's good for you," Morpho gave Irmir a strange look, as he didn't seem to be afraid at all.

This Irmir was completely different from the one Cledia had described.

Moreover, being out late at night instead of sleeping at home, and appearing outside St. John's Cathedral, all these signs made Morpho more alert. She walked briskly to Irmir's side, almost forcibly taking him to Quentin's white extended Rolls-Royce parked on campus.

As Morpho drove calmly, heading out of New York City, Irmir's mind was racing. Mutants generally avoid interacting with ordinary people, and Morpho, as Magneto's top spy, was even more cautious. What was she doing lurking around him?

But Irmir quickly realized he was overthinking it. It seemed Morpho had been targeting Quentin from the start, and possibly even Herbert of the Brandt Group.

No wonder Quentin had been buzzing around him, saying that his girlfriend had left him for him.

This wasn't Cledia, so where had the real Cledia been hidden by Morpho? Irmir asked, "Quentin, is my girlfriend also one of you?"

Unlike others, Irmir had some knowledge of the mutant world, and he addressed her as "you."

Morpho, focused on driving, didn't notice this detail. She "hmm"ed and said, "Yes, so you can rest assured, I won't harm you or your little girlfriend. In fact, once I complete my mission tonight, I'll return your little girlfriend to you unharmed."

Irmir didn't know Morpho's age, as it wasn't mentioned in the movies. He furrowed his brows and leaned closer to Morpho, whispering in her ear, "So, my girlfriend is also a mutant?"

Morpho was slightly stunned and immediately grabbed Irmir's neck, "How do you know my identity, and what else do you know?"

Even without transforming into a vengeful ghost, Irmir's need for oxygen was minimal. His face still wore a lazy smile as he casually broke free from Morpho, "Please, the news is always talking about the Mutant Registration Act. I'm not blind, so of course I guessed it from what happened just now."

"Is that all?" Morpho looked at Irmir, feeling something was off but couldn't pinpoint it.

Irmir straightened his clothes, glanced out the window, and said slowly, "If I'm not mistaken, you're after the Brandt Group. But unfortunately, it seems Mr. Herbert had already made arrangements. You should pray to God for your safety."

"What do you mean?" Morpho became wary, feeling Irmir's attitude was strange. Irmir shrugged and pointed to the front windshield. Morpho turned to look.

A portable shoulder-fired missile, trailing a long flame, slammed into the car where she and Irmir were. Morpho let out a painful groan, unable to maintain her Quentin form, and was blown out of the car, her body torn apart by the explosion.
