Chapter 370
Anna nodded and turned to leave the room.
Su Quan looked at the Nightcrawler: "I won, so..."
"I'm yours from now on." The Nightcrawler reacted quickly. As soon as Su Quan spoke, she cleverly knelt down again to show her loyalty.
Su Quan was somewhat interested in the Nightcrawler. Both of her abilities were quite good and could be used to create value. Moreover, she was clever and knew when to cooperate with him...
The reason we didn't kill her outright was to give her a chance and see how she behaved.
So far, it's performing quite well!
Su Quan beckoned, Nightcrawler was overjoyed, quickly using all four limbs to get to him.
An immortal touched my head, and I was granted eternal life.
Su Quan did not grant her immortality, but simply returned her original life force to her.
The Nightcrawler was on the verge of death, felt a surge of life force flowing into her body, and the fear of death finally disappeared.
The Nightcrawler's real Callisto. She possesses Night Vision, Supersonic Movement, and the ability to sense the Mutant Level of others. However, her Night Vision is relatively ordinary and has not been recognized by the system, so she cannot be dropped.
If she is strengthened, her two main abilities will definitely be further enhanced. For example, Supersonic Movement: exceeding the speed of sound by one time is supersonic, exceeding the speed of sound by two times or three times is also supersonic.
Supersonic speed and supersonic speed are not the same!
Moreover, the Nightcrawler's current speed is not supersonic; saying she possesses Supersonic Movement is merely a general description.
Su Quan guided him and tested it. Putting aside certain special situations, the normal full-speed running speed is only about 300 kilometers per hour, while the standard for supersonic speed is about 1,200 kilometers per hour, which is far from the standard!
However, compared to other speedsters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he is neither the best nor the worst. For example, Quicksilver in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was only 281 kilometers per hour at the beginning, and A-Train in the Boys universe was only 370 kilometers per hour.
The Nightcrawler has never trained for speed, meaning she hasn't yet realized her potential. If she received professional training and further enhancements, she might be able to reach the speed of light.
Therefore— Su Quan did not enhance her!
The reason she wasn't enhanced is simple. First, she just joined and hasn't accomplished anything yet, so enhancing her would be unfair to the others. Second, even if she were enhanced, her ceiling would only be the speed of light, which is far inferior to the Speed Force in both speed and potential.
"Call out--"
A sudden gust of wind arose, and the azure light of the Speed Force gradually dimmed. The Nightcrawler, whose appearance had changed, couldn't hide her excitement and grinned foolishly at Su Quan, her eyes filled with worship.
"I've never been this fast before—no! I never imagined I could be this fast!"
Anna pouted, a hint of jealousy in her voice. "You were just lucky!"
"You're very lucky too."
The Nightcrawler shrugged dismissively. She knew why Anna was upset—it was because she had taken Anna's spot last night. A little girl is a little girl. Although they were on the same starting line in some matters, she was much more sensible than Anna.
Or rather, she is better able to recognize her own identity and position.
Neither she nor Anna has the right to be jealous or overthink things. Do you think young lovers are just playing house?
Su Quan ignored their ulterior motives and casually asked the Nightcrawler, "How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"
Su Quan bestowed upon her the Speed Force and sent her to investigate a few matters.
Nightcrawler replied, "Magneto doesn't seem to be giving up on his plan to turn humans into Mutants. He's looking for other replacements, and he's also searching for materials that can isolate Psychic Abilities to create a new helmet."
Su Quan hummed in agreement, signaling him to continue.
"William Stryker does have an Asian-looking female assistant. I checked her file; her name is Yuriko Oyama, codename Deathbird, and she possesses superhuman strength, speed, agility, stamina, and reflexes."
"Her father was a scientist in William Stryker's X-Weapon Project, and he modified her, giving her self-healing and retractable nails. Experimental records show that her entire skeleton and nails have been replaced with Adamantium."
A female version of Wolverine —this was a goal Su Quan had set his sights on long ago.
"Are there any other Mutants with William Stryker?" Su Quan asked.
The Nightcrawler replied, "There is one Mutants can release Psychic Illusion; he's very high-level. That's all."
Su Quan curled his lip. Had William Stryker reformed and stopped capturing and imprisoning Mutants, or was he just being cunning and keeping the Mutants in other places?
Nine times out of ten, they're being held somewhere else.
You learn from your mistakes, and besides, he messed up last time, so there's no way he won't be punished. He certainly can't be as powerful and high-profile as before, so his current situation is to feign one thing while secretly doing another.
Nightcrawler's investigation into Magneto and William Stryker is going well; now there's only one last thing left.
"Has Jimmy been found?"
Jimmy is the antidote for Mutants; his ability is to Mutant Power Nullification or Mutant Gene.
The Nightcrawler shook her head dejectedly. "No, I haven't found him. There's only a name. Finding him is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I need more time."
Su Quan did not blame her for her poor performance and nodded in agreement.
If Jimmy has already awakened his Mutant Gene, he would be easier to find. He could use his Psychic Abilities or Cerebro to directly screen Mutants, which would reduce the number of targets and greatly improve efficiency.
However, according to the timeline of the story, Jimmy should not have awakened his Mutant Gene yet. With only a name and no other detailed information, finding him would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"There's no time limit. Take your time finding him. As long as you find him before he awakens his Mutant Gene, I'll reward you."
"Yes, I will find him as soon as possible."
The Nightcrawler nodded emphatically.
"What can I do for you?" Anna couldn't help but ask.
Su Quan said with a smile, "The only thing you need to do now is to master your abilities as soon as possible. After we check out, we'll go to the bald cripple's academy, where they teach Mutants how to control their abilities. You can learn from them too."
Anna reluctantly replied, "Okay, I'll study hard."
Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters
Under the bright sunshine, students, full of youthful energy, used their diverse abilities to play and laugh freely in the spacious college.
Storm pushed Professor X, along with Jean Grey and the blue-haired Professor X, out of the teaching building and towards the academy gates.
"Why are all the professors and teachers out here? Is some important person coming?" A girl asked her companion curiously, "Bobbi, John, do you know what's going on?"
Bobbi shook his head honestly, while John fiddled with his lighter and said dismissively, "Why don't we just follow them and see?"
"Isn't this a bad idea?" Bobbi hesitated.
Seeing Bobbi hesitate, John challenged, "What, are you scared?"
"I..."
"Stop arguing, listen, it sounds like a sports car." Kitty interrupted their argument and curiously jogged towards the door.
Bobbi and John exchanged a glance and followed.
"They're here!"
The roar of the sports car grew closer and closer. The professor and his group stopped at a flower bed some distance from the gate, watching the silver-white sports car gradually appear outside the gate with varying emotions.
Why isn't he slowing down?
Jean Grey noticed that the sports car showed no signs of slowing down, and the academy gates remained closed. Was it going to crash right in?
"Bang!"
Just as the sports car was about to crash into the gate, Su Quan calmly waved his hand, and the Magneto-kinesis controlled the gate, causing it to open suddenly with an extremely strange speed, crashing hard into the walls on both sides.
"Call out--"
The sports car sped in, its tires screeching against the ground.
Then, it stopped directly in front of the professor and the others.
Provocative!
This is blatant provocation!
Storm stared at Su Quan, who was getting out of the car, her face dark with anger, and demanded, "What do you mean? This is a school, not a place for you to run wild."
No sooner had she finished speaking than a thud was heard, and Storm knelt down in front of Su Quan.
Only then did she feel pain in her calves and knees, and feel a hand pressing on her shoulder.
Who is it?
Just as Storm was about to turn around, she heard a woman's voice coming from behind her.
"You have no right to act wildly towards my master!"
Storm turned around and glared at Nightcrawler, recognizing her. "It's you!"
Storm turned sideways, swung her hand back, and punched Nightcrawler.
The punch missed its mark, even though they were so close.
Storm was startled, then suddenly received a heavy punch to the face, causing her to stagger and fall to the ground.
Then, a Storm of punches rained down on her, causing her excruciating pain and leaving her no time to react.
To be precise, she couldn't see the other person at all.
Not only could he not see them, but even the professors couldn't see them. The other party was so fast that it was as if Invisibility. They could only hear the sound of blows, but they couldn't see anyone at all.
"Enough!"
