Chapter 402

The moon rises and sets, and the stars twinkle.

After having dinner and chatting with Laura for a while, Su Quan returned to his room to rest when night had completely fallen.

The night was quiet.

It was pitch black outside, and the sanatorium was silent. Although the lights in the corridor were on, they were inexplicably eerie and frightening.

"Bite!"

"Combat detected. Reward dropped: Psychic Illusion (Moonstar)"

The sound of rewards dropping suddenly rang out, waking Su Quan, who had just fallen asleep.

The moment the reward was announced, a peculiar spiritual energy appeared, attempting to invade Su Quan's Mind Stone.

It just didn't work.

Su Quan's Psychic Abilities are too strong. His Psychic Shield and Psychic Isolation abilities automatically activate the moment he is invaded. No matter if he is asleep or unconscious, he cannot be successfully invaded.

"Psychic Illusion ...similar to the ability of the Master of Illusions, which can Create Illusion that instill fear and desire in people."

"However... it cannot manifest a physical form, which means that the Moon Star's ability to manifest a physical form does not entirely come from this ability."

In the kitchen.

Cannonball was accompanying Sunspot while he washed the dishes, or rather, watching Sunspot wash the dishes, because he had broken his hand while practicing his abilities alone that afternoon.

"Is it scary?" Sunspot asked Cannonball, who was sitting next to him, while he was working.

You mean my hand?

Sunspot shook his head. "I meant working in the mine."

Cannonball realized what was happening and nodded, "Yes, of course."

"Smack!"

The lights suddenly went out, plunging the kitchen into darkness.

The sudden darkness made Cannonball instinctively shout, and then the lights came on, and Sunspot, who had turned the power back on, smiled at him.

"I wouldn't go into the mine even if you gave me a million dollars."

Cannonball shrugged. "I can't give you a million."

Sunspot laughed and said, "After we leave here, I'll come find you. My family can afford it."

With that, he patted the Cannonball and prepared to leave.

Goodnight, Kentucky Kid.

The Cannonball comes from Kentucky.

Goodnight, buddy.

As the Cannonball, which had been watching the Sunspot leave, was about to get up, it shuddered as if startled.

One of the washing machines across the street suddenly started, and the loud noise made Cannonball pause for a moment. His throat visibly twitched a few times before he tentatively walked over.

The pitch-black cylinder had a strange attraction, and just as he was intently looking inside, he was suddenly plunged into darkness.

Is anyone there?

Is anyone there?

The open environment made his voice echo, and he subconsciously reached forward, where he faintly saw light.

Step by step, step by step.

He reached the corner, where the darkness was dispelled by the lights on the miners' helmets. Miners were swinging their pickaxes to the left and right, the clanging of their tools filling the air.

In the confined space, amidst the familiar scene, Cannonball's breathing gradually became rapid.

Suddenly, the miners stopped strangely one by one and turned to look at him.

The lights on the helmets were blinding, and he couldn't see their faces clearly, but he knew... who they were!

In the sweltering heat, with heavy breathing and sweat streaming down his forehead and cheeks, the Cannonball, under the watchful eyes of the miners, slowly passed by them and arrived at the end of the mine.

"Dad?" Cannonball looked at the figure at the end and asked tentatively.

The figure turned to look at him, coldly questioning, "Sam, what have you done!"

"Ah..."

A loud shout rang out, Cannonball turned around to see a miner raising a pickaxe and smashing it down on him.

"Bang!"

With a loud crash, the Cannonball slammed heavily into the iron table opposite the washing machine.

The sharp pain in his back made him groan a few times. He looked at the familiar kitchen and the burned washing machine with lingering fear and confusion.

He couldn't tell if what he had just seen was a hallucination or something else, so he could only stare at the burnt washing machine, slumped on the spot, and gasped for breath.

At the same time.

In Yuexing's room, Yuexing, who was fast asleep, trembled slightly, opened her eyes, and woke up from a nightmare.

Doctor Reyes, who had been monitoring her data in the control room, let out a long sigh of relief.

"Her psychic powers have returned to normal?"

The sudden question startled Doctor Reyes, who jumped to his feet.

"How did you get in? You didn't make a sound!" Doctor Reyes composed himself and glared at Su Quan, who appeared shirtless behind him.

"It was teleported in."

Su Quan smiled and explained, looking at Yuexing's room on the surveillance screen. "You were too far away, so you probably weren't affected. Her psionic energy just now tried to create an illusion. It didn't work on me, but Cannonball was hit!"

"Illusions? You mean, her ability is to create Psychic Illusion?"

Doctor Reyes pulled up the Cannonball's surveillance footage. From the footage, it seemed as if he had seen it, and he walked step by step to the washing machine, then released his power, destroying the washing machine and sending himself flying.

Such a contrasting behavior could indeed be a result of being under Psychic Illusion!

"Whether her ability is to create Psychic Illusion still needs to be confirmed. If so... we need to figure out the mechanism and type of illusions."

Doctor Reyes turned to Su Quan: "How did you manage to stop her hallucination invasion?"

Su Quan shrugged. "All I need to do is isolate myself from the space I'm in."

I didn't ask any unnecessary questions...

Doctor Reyes felt that Su Quan's abilities were excessively strong. Despite having only a Spatial Ability, it seemed like he could do anything.

Space is king!

She now feels this deeply.

"The night is long, would you like to come to my room for a drink?" Su Quan invited with a smile.

Doctor Reyes looked at him with a half-smile. "So you want to drink?"

However... I didn't expect him to have such a good physique. What a pity. If he were serious, if he weren't so promiscuous, I could have tried to get to know him.

"No need, I'm going to rest too." She shook her head and refused.

Su Quan didn't seem to care, and didn't seem to be hiding his thoughts. "Are you planning to stay single forever?"

"Of course not."

Su Quan curled his lip indifferently and said, "If you keep working here, forget about finding a partner, you'll have a hard time even finding a suitable member of the opposite sex, right?"

"Besides me, no other employee would be willing to come to such a poor and remote place, a place with no future prospects."

"Even if there's a suitable person of the opposite sex, would you dare to approach them? If the company finds out, what do you think they'll do?"

"Wishing you both well? Or... to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, to get rid of you, or the person you've set your sights on?"

Doctor Reyes's face grew darker and darker. She wanted to deny it, to argue, but she knew that Su Quan's words were very likely true.

To the company, their own value is negligible. If they affect the sanatorium or the company's mission of training assassins, the company will definitely take drastic measures.

She had known this for a long time, so she had never considered it over the years, which is why she could take charge of this place with peace of mind.

For the Magik and their companions, this place is a cage, and for Doctor Reyes, it is no different.

These Mutants might have a chance to leave, but she has no chance at all!

If she does well, the company will definitely keep her in charge; if she doesn't do well, she will become part of the 'losses'!

"Think it over carefully. I won't be staying here for long." Su Quan patted Doctor Reyes' shoulder meaningfully, then disappeared in a flash.

The Cannonball being hit was just the beginning. In the following days, Moonstar, who was completely unaware of her actions, continued to affect others.

Wolfsbane is hunted down by the priest who tortured her; Sunspot sees his girlfriend who was burned to death; and the Magik, released from solitary confinement, sees the long-lost the Laughing Man and is so frightened that she sneaks into Su Quan's room in the middle of the night.

At last...

It's finally her turn!

That night, Yuexing woke up with a start. The ceiling above her head had turned into a starry sky, and a huge black shadow with bright red eyes pounced down on her from above.
