Chapter 365

In other words, Magneto already knew who Anna was and what abilities she possessed when Anna ran away from home.

The question is, how did Magneto know this?

Anna didn't use her powers during her runaway from home. The only time she used them was when she first awakened them—she almost killed her boyfriend!

Therefore, the most likely explanation is that she found out about her boyfriend and then followed the clues to learn about Anna and her abilities!

Now that she has changed the plot herself and her boyfriend has escaped, will Magneto still try to capture Anna?

If not, who else does he plan to have Anna activate the machine and carry out the plan?

Su Quan suppressed his curiosity and said to Anna, "Say goodbye to your family, and then I will erase their memories of you. I will give them this house and leave them some money as a way of repaying them for raising you."

Anna asked reluctantly, "Does it have to be this way?"

Su Quan nodded. "Even if you tell them the truth, even if they can accept it, can you guarantee that you will never have contact with them again? Can you guarantee that you won't cause any other trouble? And... if people find out that you are Mutants, not only you, but your family will also be in danger."

"I... I understand."

Anna nodded dejectedly. Although her mind was in turmoil, she was still decisive at the crucial moment.

She knew that her departure was the best protection for them!

The night was desolate.

A figure carrying a bag tiptoed out of the house, glanced back for a moment, and walked towards the man standing next to the sports car by the roadside.

"Alright?"

"Um."

Su Quan released his Psychic Abilities, and when Anna's parents woke up tomorrow morning, they would forget Anna's existence and go next door to take over the house he left behind and five million US dollars in cash.

Under the cover of night, the roaring noise disturbed my peaceful sleep.

As the sports car drove out of the community, Anna turned her gaze back to Su Quan and asked, "Where are we going?"

"Let's find a place to stay for a few days and see if anyone comes knocking on our door."

Su Quan is Immune to Causality. Even if he takes Anna away and changes the plot, from a macro perspective, Magneto will most likely still send someone to capture Anna.

The world will correct itself when things are unreasonable; it's like another kind of butterfly effect.

Su Quan was very curious: having lost two powerful generals, Big Raven and Sabretooth, Magneto would send someone to capture Anna this time.

Several days later.

In a hotel on the other side of the city, Anna lightly tapped the Void Battle Bead on her wrist, and a green bodysuit instantly covered her entire body, making her figure even more curvaceous.

"Knock knock knock—"

A knock sounded at the door, Anna stopped admiring herself and hurriedly ran to open it.

Standing outside the door was a strange man wearing a trench coat, with an ugly appearance and a disheveled look.

Anna paused, then asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The ugly man grinned. "Looking for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ugly man opened his big mouth, and a long, thin head nimbly wrapped around Anna's neck. Caught off guard, Anna panicked and struggled, looking in Su Quan's direction and desperately calling his name.

"Su Quan, save... save me!"

"Call out--"

A gust of wind swept in from the doorway, and a figure rushed in at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

Immediately afterwards, Su Quan, who was sitting on the sofa, was lifted up and a sharp dagger was placed against his neck.

"Su..." Anna was stunned. She hadn't seen when the people who had taken Su Quan hostage appeared.

"Don't move, or—you'll die!" A woman's voice rang in Su Quan's ears.

Even without looking at her expression, you could sense her smugness and arrogant haughtiness just from her voice.

Su Quan didn't move, but there was no panic or fear on his face. "You're pressing against me."

"Oh--"

The woman chuckled softly, turned to look at the calm Su Quan, and said, "You've got some nerve. Do you know that if I just move forward a little bit, what's pressing against you will pierce your neck and slit your throat?"

Su Quan glanced at her and laughed, "Impossible, it's too soft!"

"Soft?"

The woman glanced at the dagger, then sneered and slashed directly at Su Quan's neck.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—"

Sparks flew, and a screeching sound of friction rang out.

With a single slash, Su Quan's neck remained unharmed.

"Bite!"

"Combat detected. Reward dropped: Super Speed (Nightcrawler)"

How... how is this possible?

The Nightcrawler froze, then gripped her dagger and stabbed Su Quan in the neck again.

Sparks still flew, and the sound was piercing.

Still completely unharmed!

"You..." Nightcrawler stared at Su Quan with wide eyes. In her perception, he was clearly an ordinary person without any mutant abilities. How could he be alright?

Nightcrawler has two abilities: one is Super Speed, which is high-speed movement; the other is the ability to sense the abilities and levels of Mutants.

In the movie, she joined Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants before the Alcatraz Island X-Men: The Last Stand, and Psylocke was with her.

It now appears that she joined the Brotherhood of Mutants earlier than expected, and it was likely she who discovered Anna!

Su Quan waved his hand, and with a loud bang, the Nightcrawler slammed heavily against the wall, spread-eagled.

The Nightcrawler grunted, paused for a moment, and was about to retaliate when she felt a chill on her neck. The dagger she had used to threaten her opponent was now floating in the air and pressed against her neck.

She stopped instantly and remained motionless.

"Yes, it's you!!!"

The Toad still held Anna hostage, but his trembling body and voice revealed his inner fear!

At that moment, he couldn't help but turn around and run away!

Nightcrawler didn't know who Su Quan was or what his abilities were, but he knew all too well. He would never forget the experience of being captured when he was young twenty years ago, and he would never forget the scene of watching him randomly choose female Mutants in the cage.

Yes, Toad, like the Little White Queen, Cyclops, and the St. Croix Sisters, is a prisoner at William Stryker's base.

When Big Raven was recruiting prisoners, he didn't accept them. Later, Gambit saved them and they left that hellish place on Professor X's plane, but he didn't stay at the X-Mansion afterward.

After joining the Brotherhood of Mutants, he mentioned Su Quan to Magneto, who was also interested in recruiting him. However, Magneto and his associates disappeared without a trace.

I never expected to see him again during this mission, at this time!

Su Quan looked at him, frowned, and said, "Do you want to catch up, or—just die?!"

"I... I meant no harm, it's all a misunderstanding!"

Although he had never fought with Su Quan in action, he knew quite a bit about Su Quan's deeds, so he didn't have the courage to fight Su Quan at all and released Anna without saying a word.

Anna, now free, rubbed her neck and quickly ran to Su Quan's side.

Su Quan shook his head, somewhat exasperated, and said, "How many times have I told you? Combat will become the norm from now on. Don't panic when you encounter an enemy. Your combat suit is enough to ensure your safety. As long as you're not instantly killed, you'll be the winner as long as you meet your opponent!"

"He has just put victory right in front of you. All you have to do is partially remove your armor and grab his head with your hands, and you're guaranteed to win."

Anna lowered her head and whispered, "I... I was too nervous just now and didn't react in time."

Normally, if the Toad uses his head against Anna, Anna just stands there doing nothing, the Toad will die on the spot.

Unfortunately, she was too nervous during her first attack, causing her to forget to control her suit and her own abilities!

To be fair, it's not entirely her fault. After gaining her abilities, she was either with Su Quan or wearing her battle suit, which caused her to somewhat overlook her abnormality, which is why she didn't think of it immediately.

What you learn from books is never enough; you must put it into practice to truly understand.

"Hey, do you know him?" the Nightcrawler called out to the Toad.

The Toad nodded somewhat nervously. "He, he is the person I told you about, Su Quan!"

"It was him?"

The Nightcrawler had obviously heard the Toad mention it before, and said with some surprise, "Wasn't that twenty years ago? How come he's still so young? He looks younger than me!"

Su Quan teased, "You're not bad either, your figure is better than I expected, it's just that your unconventional style..."

Nightcrawler has a pretty good figure; she's slim where she should be and curvy where she should be. While she's not a classic white beauty, she's similar to Storm and could be considered a Black beauty...

It's just that her style is too unconventional.

Leather jackets and pants go without saying; as long as you have a good figure, there's nothing wrong with this kind of outfit, and it can even be a plus.
