Chapter 366

Long hair tied into a ponytail is fine too.

But what's with the thick choker and lip piercing around his neck, as well as the Omega Symbol tattoos on the front of his body and the right half of his face?

While tattooing is a cultural practice in the West, there's no need to get it tattooed on the face, is there?

The Nightcrawler raised an eyebrow dismissively. "You don't like my type?"

Su Quan shrugged. "It's not a bad thing to change things up once in a while. You have to try everything in life!"

"I'm a little curious, what's the significance of the Omega Symbol on your body?"

The Nightcrawler said, "I once founded an organization called Omega Organization."

"I see..." Su Quan waved his hand, and the Nightcrawler had been hanging on the wall fell down.

"You guys are working with Magneto now?"

"You... you know?" Toad was taken aback for a moment, then confessed, "We joined Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants. Nightcrawler sensed her and her abilities, and we were ordered to bring her back."

Anna asked, puzzled, "Why?"

The Toad hesitated. His goal of capturing Anna was linked to Magneto's important plan, and he was unsure what Su Quan's attitude would be if he found out.

"I can tell you why, but—" the Nightcrawler suddenly interrupted, looking directly at Su Quan: "You need to tell me why I can't sense your abilities and level!"

"In my perception, you are just an ordinary person. My perception has never been wrong. How do you manage to do that?"

Su Quan laughed and said, "It's simple, you're too weak."

"..."

The Nightcrawler was clearly dissatisfied with this answer. "Am I too weak? I was just unprepared."

No matter how capable you are, what good is it if you can't keep up with my speed?

With a snort, the Nightcrawler entered a high-speed movement state and charged directly at Su Quan!

"Bang!"

A loud crash suddenly rang out. Before Anna and the Toad could react, they saw the Nightcrawler being slammed against the wall by Su Quan, who was choking her!

That was a really hard hit!

The Nightcrawler looked pained, her eyes were glazed, and she was gripping the hand that was choking her neck tightly with both hands.

Not to mention Anna and the Toad, even she herself didn't realize what had happened.

She had just started moving when she felt a sharp pain in her head and back from the impact, and then realized that her neck was being choked and what had happened.

"No, impossible—how can you be faster than me?!" The Nightcrawler grinned, staring at Su Quan in horror.

Is it fast?

Su Quan was only using ordinary Super Speed; if he used the Speed Force, it would be too much of a bully.

"What gave you the illusion that the attack on us was over? Was it because the Toad knew me, or because I was too friendly?"

"Tell me, how do you want to die?!"

"Can I... can I die of old age?"

You're so naughty, aren't you? Are you trying to die of old age?

OK!

I'll grant your wish!

Su Quan's lips curled into a mocking smile, and the Nightcrawler, who had been feigning composure, immediately felt uneasy upon seeing this.

Just as she was about to say something to ease the tension, a strange suction force instantly made her body stiffen, and she began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.

Life... She could feel her life force rapidly draining away, and death was approaching!

The passing of life simply means dying of old age!

But I was just saying it casually, why did you take it seriously?

"Help... help me..." the Nightcrawler struggled and begged the Toad for help.

But the Toad was already terrified. Moreover, he was already wary of or rather afraid of Su Quan. Even if he heard her cries for help and saw her pleas, he dared not make a move.

The Nightcrawler's face grew increasingly ashen, and as she lay dying, she seemed to hear the faint sound of death wielding its scythe.

"Let me go... please, please let me go..."

The Nightcrawler clung weakly to Su Quan's wrists, desperately pleading for help.

One second, two seconds—

The Nightcrawler stared intently at Su Quan, awaiting the final verdict.

Is it life?

Is it death?

Su Quan unmoved and indifferent.

Despair spread through the Nightcrawler's heart, and a final look of resentment appeared on her ashen face.

If she could do it all over again, she would never have taken this mission, no... she would never have come here!

That way, Anna wouldn't have been discovered, and this mission wouldn't have happened!

Just as she closed her eyes in a daze, preparing to face death, her life force suddenly stopped.

Then, the hand on her neck loosened.

The Nightcrawler's face regained its color, and she collapsed to her knees with a thud.

I... I'm not dead? He let me go?!

The Nightcrawler struggled to raise her head and sincerely said to Su Quan, "Thank you, thank you for letting me go."

It's absurd, isn't it? The person who killed her was Su Quan, and the person who let her go was also Su Quan, but deep down she was genuinely grateful to him for sparing her.

In fact, this is not absurd at all. Su Quan killed her because they were enemies, and she attacked Su Quan first.

The enemy could have easily killed you, but spared you. Isn't that something to be truly grateful for?

There is great terror between life and death; to survive is something to be grateful for!

"Who said I let you go?"

Just as the Nightcrawler breathed a sigh of relief, Su Quan spoke leisurely, "Didn't you want to die of old age? So I deliberately left some life force so that you can die of old age naturally."

"You probably only have about a day left to live. If there's anything you want to do but haven't done yet, hurry up and do it."

"..."

The Nightcrawler and the Toad were completely stunned when they heard this!

Only one day left to live? This... this is more agonizing than dying outright.

That's like killing someone by breaking their spirit!

The Nightcrawler, who thought she could survive, heard that she was doomed. Her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed and fainted.

The Toad opened his mouth, but when he saw Su Quan looking at him, he froze on the spot as if a pause button had been pressed, and didn't move at all!

"Don't be afraid, I won't kill you this time! Didn't you mention me to Magneto? Perfect, go back and tell him to find someone else to carry out the plan, and not to mess with my people."

The Toad asked in a trembling voice, "You... you know about our plan?"

Su Quan laughed, "I know a lot more than that."

"I... I promise to pass on the message to him. Um... can I take her away?" The Toad looked at the Nightcrawler and asked tentatively, his voice trembling with apprehension.

"Cannot!"

Su Quan shook his head and said calmly, "Everyone has to be responsible for their own actions. She dared to attack me, so naturally she has to pay the price."

"You should be glad you didn't attack me, otherwise you might never have seen Magneto again."

What else could the Toad say? If he continued, he might not be able to leave.

As for the Nightcrawler, she only has one day left to live. Even if you take her away, she won't survive. And she only has herself to blame for courting death. She was having a good time catching up with her old friends when she had to attack again, and look what happened—she angered Su Quan ...

The Toad nodded to Su Quan and Anna, then turned and left respectfully.

"Bang!"

The door was closed carefully.

Anna let out a long sigh of relief, looked at the unconscious Nightcrawler, and asked with a mixture of confusion and worry, "Why did that Magneto guy capture me?"

Su Quan sat down on the sofa. "Magneto created a machine that could turn humans into Mutants, but he couldn't withstand the effects of activating the machine."

"Your ability allows you to Absorb Life, and he thinks you can also absorb the energy when the machine starts up, which is why he wants to capture you."

Magneto's assessment of Anna's abilities was actually wrong. If it were the Black King, he should have been able to withstand the effects, but Anna... the movie has already made it very clear.

If the X-Men hadn't defeated Magneto and Wolverine hadn't let her absorb his life force, she would have died there.

Although she didn't die in the end, the damage was irreversible; her hair and sideburns turned completely white.

That tuft of white hair is one of her distinctive features!
