Chapter 471

Colossus, who had just been swearing up and down that he would complete the task even if it cost him his life, immediately lost his composure.

Knock Storm unconscious, then send her to your room?

This... this isn't legal, is it?

Looking at the awkward and troubled Colossus, Su Quan hummed, "Can't do it?"

Colossus scratched his head and gave a sheepish smile: "This, I can't bring myself to do this kind of thing. How about another request? I guarantee I'll definitely get it done!"

"Another request? Sure, then let's change it to Jean Grey," Su Quan said indifferently.

"..."

Colossus lost his composure again; I said change the request, not change the person.

"That... Jean... Jean Grey won't work either, I won't do this kind of thing to a girl! How about... change to a guy?"

Colossus explained awkwardly, only to end up saying something even more awkward.

Change to a guy?

No wonder you're called Colossus; you really are made of steel!

Wait, if I remember correctly, Colossus seems to be Deadpool's good buddy, and Deadpool... swings both ways, no preferences at all!

As the saying goes, one who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black; it also says, birds of a feather flock together; it further says, what one sees and hears, one learns without trying; and it says again, subtle influence leads to natural imitation.

Thinking about it is terrifying.

No wonder in the movie, when you saw a young lady's clothes torn during a fight, you'd rather take a beating than even look at her.

Is that being a gentleman?

Bah, that's just you not being interested!

Don't think I don't know you didn't refuse Deadpool's hugging and cuddling!

"You can try knocking Pyro unconscious and sending him to Iceman's room, or... your own room!" Su Quan said with a smile.

Colossus scratched his head. Knock Pyro unconscious and send him to Iceman's room?

Who in the school doesn't know they don't get along? If he really did that, they would definitely start fighting.

Maybe he should just send him to his own room; he could apologize to Pyro properly later, and he should forgive him.

That's the plan!

Just as Colossus made up his mind and was about to agree, he heard Su Quan change his tune.

"I was just joking earlier. If you really want to thank me, then after Storm and Jean Grey leave the academy, make good use of the Phoenix Force to protect the school and the Professor for them!"

Colossus straightened his expression and hurriedly promised: "I will! I will definitely protect the Professor and the school with my life."

"Go get busy."

"Yes."

Colossus had just left when Storm arrived.

"Is he alright?" Storm was a bit worried. Returning from the dead was something that truly broke taboos, and she didn't know if there would be any aftereffects.

"He's not alright!"

Su Quan looked serious, and Storm panicked: "I knew it, I knew that breaking the taboo of life and death couldn't be without consequences! What... what's wrong with him?"

Su Quan said with a straight face: "I asked him to knock you unconscious and send you to my room, he refused, and then I asked him to knock Jean unconscious and send her to my room, and he refused that too!"

"Then, do you know what he said?"

Storm was flustered by concern and didn't react to Su Quan's line of thought: "What did he say?"

"He said, how about... changing to a guy!"

"Changing to a guy!"

"Listen, just listen, is what he said human language?"

Su Quan grabbed Storm's hand, feigning righteous indignation: "He has issues with his orientation, but I don't! To prove myself, are you free tonight?"

"I am... wait, no, what is all this? Can you be serious for once!"

Storm, having been led down the wrong path, stared at Su Quan, speechless.

Su Quan shrugged noncommittally: "Be serious, right? Fine, I told him that when you and Jean are not at the academy, he should make good use of the Phoenix Force to take care of the Professor and the academy for you."

"That's serious enough, right?"

Serious or not, Storm understood the meaning behind Su Quan's words: she and Jean couldn't escape his grasp.

What was the hardest thing for them to accept?

It wasn't Su Quan's shamelessness in taking both of them, nor the awkwardness between them, but failing the Professor's care and cultivation by leaving the academy that needed them to protect it!

Su Quan had pulled the rug out from under them, resolving their biggest worry and concern.

Storm looked at Su Quan with a smile in her eyes: "If you want me to follow you wholeheartedly, then conquer me and let me know that I can no longer live without you."

Su Quan raised an eyebrow: "I accept the challenge."

"Then... see you tonight?"

"See you tonight!"

The next day, early morning.

Thin mist drifted slowly through the gaps in the woods, and the rising sun illuminated the treetops in a golden hue...

You stand on the bridge watching the scenery, while the person watching the scenery watches you from the building!

Su Quan stood by the window looking at the scenery outside, and a pair of hands reached around from under his ribs, hugging him from behind.

"You're awake." Su Quan grabbed her hands and said with a smile.

Storm leaned against Su Quan's back, let out a nasal hum, and said with a hint of laziness: "Where is this?"

After meeting last night, Su Quan had taken Storm away from the academy.

She didn't know exactly where they were.

Su Quan said with a smile: "That question is a bit complicated. If you had asked me ten minutes ago, I would have told you this is a suite in a New York hotel."

Storm looked at the level grass and forest outside the window. This is a New York hotel?

"And now?"

"Now, inside and outside the house are two different locations. Inside is still the New York hotel suite, while outside is some unknown suburb. The only building nearby is a recovery center under the Essex Corporation, which can also be called a sanitarium."

Storm was stunned for a moment and asked: "Is there anything special about this place?"

She wasn't stunned because she didn't understand why inside and outside were different locations, but because she felt Su Quan wouldn't choose this place without a reason.

Essex Corporation... the name sounded familiar, but she couldn't recall anything special about it.

Su Quan turned his head to look at her and said with a smile: "Do you remember what I told you about the Void last night?"

"The end of the timeline, right? That's your territory, and you are the great Lord of the Void." Storm teased.

Naughty!

Su Quan patted her hand and continued: "There is a mutant in the Void that I caught from this sanitarium. Her name is Magik, and her real name is Illyana Rasputin."

"Rasputin?" Storm let go of Su Quan, came in front of him, and said thoughtfully: "Colossus's name is Rasputin, Peter Rasputin!"

Su Quan nodded: "She is Colossus's sister."

Storm frowned: "That's not right. Colossus shouldn't have a sister. We investigated thoroughly when he enrolled, unless..."

Colossus didn't have a sister, but Su Quan said this Magik was Colossus's sister, so there was only one truth.

"This isn't our world, is it?"
