Cairo has a large population, but Charles is very efficient at work. He began to check everyone's memories on a large scale. Soon, Charles accidentally found a familiar person.

"Maura? Why is Maura in Cairo?"

"Are you talking about your old lover?" The first thing Hank thought of when he heard Maura was the female CIA agent whose memory was wiped by Charles.

"Yes, that's her."

"Why would someone from the CIA appear in Cairo? Charles, you can look through her memory carefully." Hank just reminded Charles, why would Mora, who is from the CIA, be in the Cairo area? There have been no international state events involving the United States visiting Egypt recently.

When Charles entered Mora's brain, he learned that Mora had just escaped from a strange underground pyramid, and that this underground pyramid was likely to have buried a mutant for thousands of years...

In an instant, Charles thought of Su Xiuyu's warning. A mutant who had lived for thousands of years came back to life and was going to endanger the whole world - wasn't this the news that Mora was investigating?

Su Xiuyu's warning and Mora's message were directly merged from two isolated incidents into one thing.

"I think we are really in trouble. Su Xiuyu's warning is the same thing that Mora is dealing with in Cairo. A powerful mutant has awakened. I think we may need to find Mora to learn more details."

Charles looked serious, and it was obvious that something unusual seemed to have happened this time.

"We should leave now and go to the CIA. Mora has already returned from Cairo."

Soon Hank followed Charles to the CIA base. Charles used his ability to temporarily stop everyone's thinking. Only after the two of them successfully entered the CIA and walked in front of Maura did Charles lift his control over the CIA.

"Hello, please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Charles..."

"Charles Xavier, right? I know who you are."

"You know me?" Charles was stunned for a moment, wondering if he had not erased Maura's memory completely.

"Of course I know you. I have read all your papers, and I have benefited a lot from many of the fresh ideas in them. Nice to meet you in person!" Mora extended his right hand and shook hands with Charles politely, then greeted Hank.

"It's our first meeting. I'm glad to meet you..." When Charles was thinking about how to start the conversation, he was suddenly attracted by the photo on Maura's desk.

"You have a son?" The person in the photo is clearly Mora's son. The mother and daughter are snuggling together. It is obvious that they are a happy mother and son pair.

"This is indeed my child. Is there any problem?" Mora was a little surprised why the professor asked this kind of question. After all, it was normal for Mora to have a child at her age. It would be abnormal not to have a child in this era.

"So you have a husband?"

"I used to, but because I was too busy with work and often lived apart, we are now divorced. I am the only one taking care of the child. It is difficult to balance work and family. Sacrifice is inevitable, isn't it?"

"That makes sense." Charles agreed, but Hank on the side found it hard to agree, realizing that Charles had strayed too far from the topic. "Charles, the purpose of our visit..."

Charles came back to his senses after Hank reminded him, "Actually, I came here for another purpose. I want to know what happened in Cairo yesterday..."

Hearing Charles' question, Maura doubted for a moment whether she had heard it wrongly. "I'm sorry, these are all our secrets, but I'm more curious about how you knew this news, and how did you get in?"

This is the headquarters of the CIA. To get in, one has to go through many checkpoints. It was only then that Mora realized something was wrong.

"I have the authority, but it's a long time ago." Charles activated his ability slightly, allowing Mora's brain to rationalize itself and no longer ask how the two people got in.

Mora took out a large stack of information. "Since mutants appeared in the public eye in 1973, many people have regarded them as a sign of God's reappearance. I tracked down one of the believers. They believe in a guy named En Sabah Nur. This is the name of an ancient person, the name of the world's first mutant."

"Aren't mutants a thing of this century?"

"That's just what we thought. In fact, these people believe that mutants have existed in this world for a long time, so they searched for various relics in this world. Of course, there is corresponding textual evidence to prove the existence of ancient mutants. Look at this photo--"

Mora pointed to the hieroglyphs on the photo and said, "These ancient hieroglyphs record the extraordinary abilities of some people in that era, powerful superpowers, and mysterious powers that no one can control."

"How could these people think that such an ancient creature could survive until now?" Charles didn't understand. Everything had changed in thousands of years. What kind of carbon-based life could survive that long?

"These people think that this ancient mutant can reincarnate between different bodies. Once his body ages, he will transfer to a new, younger body. And some of the people he found are mutants. In this way, after each transfer, he can absorb different mutant abilities, and finally become an all-round powerful mutant."

Mora's argument suddenly reminded Charles of Su Xiuyu. Yes, Su Xiuyu was a typical all-round powerful guy, but this guy was not a mutant.

"And no matter where this guy appears, he will be followed by four powerful mutants to protect him. It is said that he can grant others powerful powers."

"Aren't these the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in the Bible?" Hank felt that this story was too strongly plagiarized.

"Maybe they didn't plagiarize the Bible, but the story in the Bible is about them? You know that the Bible first appeared around 1440 BC. This legend is even older than the Bible. Maybe the Bible plagiarized this story?"

Mora is not a Christian, so she does not have much respect for the Bible and likes to talk about scientific basis for everything.

"But one thing is almost certain. No matter which of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse it is, they will bring war and disaster. This is not good news for mankind."
