Chapter 118

~6 min read 1,062 words

No one can endure being fixed in one position for so long; this is only because Kimiko is mentally unclear and her physical fitness is different from ordinary people; if it were a normal person, they would have collapsed long ago.

"Don't worry, I went out this time specifically to cure her."

Su Quan took out an electronic collar and cuffed it around Kimiko's neck, then released her restraints and retracted the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak.

Kimiko, having regained her freedom, lay on the ground for a moment, then crouched up, staring coldly at Su Quan.

This pair of eyes, like a wolf!

A hunting wolf!

Amidst low growls, Kimiko kicked off with her legs, her palms forming claws as she lunged at Su Quan.

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, drop reward: Compound V (Kimiko)"

Yo, this is the first time Compound V has dropped, right?

Su Quan's mouth curled up slightly, and he calmly took out the time controller and operated it gently.

"Shoo—"

Kimiko, who was about to pounce, instantly returned to her original spot.

Kimiko blinked blankly, and Jessica Jones, standing to the side, also looked at the controller in Su Quan's hand in surprise.

"What is this?"

"Good stuff!"

Jessica Jones rolled her eyes at Su Quan; of course she knew it was good stuff, she was asking what this thing was!

Forget it, won't ask.

Regarding Su Quan's mystery and the things he brought out, Jessica Jones was already mentally prepared and no longer surprised.

Not to mention anything else, that Crimson Band of Cyttorak that fixed Kimiko.

She once couldn't help but want to let Kimiko out, but even with all her strength, she couldn't pry it open.

"Aunt May and the others are coming soon; I'm going downstairs to open the door and prepare for business."

"Hmm."

Jessica Jones turned and left; she hadn't walked many steps before she heard Kimiko's angry low growls echoing in the room again.

Once, once, and once again.

No matter how fast, how explosive, or how tricky Kimiko's attacks were, the result was the same: she instantly flashed back to her original spot.

It's only because Kimiko's mental state is abnormal; if it were a normal person, being messed with like this, they would either give up or collapse.

Looking at Kimiko, who was breathing slightly but still staring at him with that cold gaze, Su Quan decided to arrange psychic abilities for her.

"Hum!"

Su Quan's consciousness entered Kimiko's mind without any obstruction.

Her memories were as messy as a shattered mirror; they seemed to be side-by-side, but what they reflected were different contents.

Clearly, she was looking at her childhood memories, but the next scene might become a scene of her and her brother together after she grew up.

A total mess.

Su Quan didn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder; he just organized her memories while 'looking'.

After a while, he withdrew his consciousness.

Su Quan noticed that Kimiko's tense body finally relaxed, and her beast-like sharp eyes also turned into gratitude, regaining their liveliness.

Psychic abilities are still better for restoring consciousness; the electronic collar can only be used for taming, not for restoration.

"You already know what happened during this time, right?" Su Quan asked.

Kimiko nodded and bowed gratefully.

This was gratitude for him saving her and helping her regain her clarity.

"After eating and living for free for so long, it's time for you to do something within your power."

"If you satisfy me, the next time I go to your world, I will bring your brother back."

Brother!

Kimiko's eyes lit up, two lines of tears flowed out uncontrollably, and she bowed deeply again.

"Follow me."

Su Quan brought Kimiko downstairs, and Jessica Jones widened her eyes in surprise as she looked at the well-behaved Kimiko.

"She, she's better?"

Su Quan smiled without speaking, and Kimiko walked forward and bowed to Jessica Jones.

Then she bowed to X-23 and Aunt May, who were equally surprised.

Especially Aunt May.

When she first learned about Kimiko's situation, she almost thought they were kidnapping and imprisoning her; later, she gradually believed that Kimiko's sanity was indeed abnormal.

"Her mind is clear, but her language function is damaged and hasn't recovered yet."

"Give her a uniform and have her work with you from now on."

X-23 took a Where-It-All-Connects uniform, and Kimiko went upstairs to take a shower.

When she finished showering and came down wearing the Where-It-All-Connects uniform, everyone couldn't help but sigh at her delicacy and cuteness.

Su Quan also praised her repeatedly; Kimiko in uniform had a bit of Feng Baobao's charm.

However, although Kimiko had regained her clarity and started working, Su Quan didn't take off her electronic collar.

Her sanity had just recovered, and this was a world where extraordinary powers hadn't yet appeared openly; better to be safe.

After eating breakfast together, Su Quan returned to his room and summoned Friday.

Looking at Friday's lifelike holographic image, Su Quan thought that in the movies, the Avengers seemed to use holographic images for video conferences.

He told Friday about his concept for holographic video conferencing and had her place an order online for several sets of the necessary equipment.

Then, he asked her to pay attention to the situation at Madripoor port.

Madripoor port was very lively today.

Overnight, the Hand's laundry powder factory was uprooted and completely destroyed, and the Hand's people were either dead or fled.

The pier originally controlled by the Hand even saw a tragic massacre.

Two large and small factions were completely left there; it is said that over a hundred people died, and a large pile of fish bodies gathered in the sea by the pier.

In the span of a morning, several factions and companies had already come to the Void Bar one after another to probe the situation and discuss business related to the pier.

According to Friday's confirmation, the people probing the bar were a mixed bag, with all kinds of factions present.

There were the major factions of Madripoor port, Hydra agents investigating the total annihilation of the Hydra squad, the Rand Corporation, and so on.

Of course, the other protagonist of the incident, the Hand, was definitely not missing.

And the one who came was the real deal.

One of the five fingers of the Hand, Madame Gao, who secretly controls the Rand Corporation!
