Chapter 436: You
"Bang!"
A heavy impact sound rang out abruptly. Anna and Toad hadn't even reacted to what had happened when they saw Psylocke being grabbed by the throat by Su Quan and slammed against the wall!
This hit was very heavy!
Psylocke's expression was painful, her eyes dazed, and her hands were forcefully grabbing the hand that was choking her neck.
Not to mention Anna and Toad, even she herself hadn't reacted to what had happened.
She had just started moving when she felt a sharp pain from the impact on her head and back, and only then did she realize her neck was being choked and realized what had happened.
"No, impossible—how are you faster than me?!" Psylocke bared her teeth, looking at Su Quan in horror.
Fast?
Su Quan was only using ordinary super speed; if he used the Speed Force, that would be a bit too bullying.
"What made you think that the matter of attacking us would just pass? Is it because Toad knows me, or because I appeared too friendly?"
"Tell me, how do you want to die?!"
"I, I want to die of old age, is that okay?"
You're quite naughty, huh? Dying of old age, right?
Fine!
I'll satisfy you!
A mocking smile rose at the corner of Su Quan's mouth, and Psylocke, who had been pretending to be calm, immediately felt a sense of unease upon seeing this.
Just as she wanted to say something to smooth things over, an inexplicable suction force instantly made her body stiffen, and she began to tremble uncontrollably.
Life... she could feel her life force rapidly passing away, and death was approaching!
Isn't the passing of life force exactly what dying of old age means!
But I was just saying it casually, how did you take it seriously?
"Save... save me..." Psylocke struggled to ask Toad for help.
But Toad had already been scared silly, and besides, he was already very wary of, or rather, afraid of Su Quan. Even though he heard her plea for help and saw her begging, he didn't dare to make a move.
Psylocke's complexion became increasingly ashen, and on the verge of death, she seemed to have already heard the faint sound of the Grim Reaper swinging his scythe.
"Let, let me go... please, I beg you to let me go..."
Psylocke's hands rested powerlessly on Su Quan's wrist, and she made her final plea with all her might.
One second, two seconds—
Psylocke stared fixedly at Su Quan, waiting for the final verdict to arrive.
Is it life?
Is it death?
Su Quan remained calm and indifferent.
Despair spread in the bottom of Psylocke's heart, and the final unwillingness was revealed on her ashen face.
If she could do it all over again, she would absolutely not take this mission, no... she would absolutely not come here!
That way she wouldn't have discovered Anna, and there wouldn't have been this mission!
Just as she closed her eyes in a daze, preparing to welcome the arrival of death, the passing life force suddenly stalled and stopped.
Immediately after, the hand on her neck loosened.
Psylocke's face regained its color, and she collapsed to the ground with a thud.
I, I didn't die? He let me go?!
Psylocke, having survived a disaster, struggled to lift her head and said sincerely to Su Quan: "Tha, 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 in her heart, she was sincerely grateful to the other party for letting her go.
In fact, this is not absurd at all. Su Quan killed her because they were enemies, and it was she who attacked Su Quan first.
An enemy can easily kill you, yet lets you go; isn't this worth sincere gratitude?
There is great terror between life and death; being able to survive is worth rejoicing and being grateful for!
"Who said I let you go?"
Just as Psylocke breathed a sigh of relief, Su Quan spoke leisurely: "Didn't you want to die of old age? So I specifically left a little life force for you, to let you die of old age naturally."
"You can still live for about a day or so; if there's anything you want to do but haven't done, hurry up and do it."
"..."
Psylocke and Toad were directly dumbfounded upon hearing this!
Only one day of life left? This... this is more tormenting than dying directly.
This is killing the person and then attacking their heart!
Psylocke, who thought she could survive, heard that she couldn't escape death, rolled her eyes, and fainted directly from the breakdown.
Toad opened his mouth, and seeing Su Quan looking at him, he immediately froze in place as if a pause button had been pressed, not moving a muscle!
"Don't be afraid, I won't kill you this time! Didn't you mention me to Magneto? Perfect, go back and bring him a message: tell him to find someone else to implement the plan, and don't mess with my people."
Toad asked with a trembling voice: "You, you know our plan?"
Su Quan smiled: "I know a lot more than that."
"I, I promise to convey it to him. That... I, can I take her away?" Toad looked at Psylocke and asked tentatively, feeling uneasy.
"No!"
Su Quan shook his head and said lightly: "Everyone must be responsible for their own actions. She dared to attack me, so she naturally has to pay the price."
"You should be glad you didn't attack me, otherwise, I'm afraid you would never see the Magneto you follow again."
What else could Toad say? If he kept talking, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to leave himself.
As for Psylocke, she only had one day of life left; even if he took her away, she wouldn't survive, and if she had to blame someone, she should blame herself for courting death. They were catching up on old times just fine, but she had to attack again. Well, now look, she angered Su Quan...
Toad nodded to Su Quan and Anna, and turned and left in a well-behaved manner.
"Bang!"
The door was carefully closed.
Anna let out a long sigh, looked at the unconscious Psylocke, and asked in confusion and worry: "Why does that person called Magneto want to capture me?"
Su Quan sat down on the sofa: "Magneto built a machine that can transform humans into mutants, but he cannot withstand the impact of starting the machine."
"Your ability can absorb life force; he thinks you can also absorb the energy when the machine starts, so that's why he wants to capture you."
Magneto's judgment of Anna's ability is actually wrong. If it were replaced by the Black King, he should be able to withstand the impact, and Anna... the movie has already shown it clearly.
If it weren't for the X-Men defeating Magneto and Wolverine letting her absorb his life force, she would have died there.
Although she didn't die in the end, the impact caused was irreversible; the hair on her forehead and temples turned completely white.
This streak of white hair can also be considered her characteristic!
