Chapter 474
Although she couldn't leave, the Void was like a small community in a remote suburb, while the sanitarium was like a juvenile detention center equivalent to a prison. If she had to choose, Magik would rather stay in the Void.
Unfortunately, she didn't have the power to choose and could only walk over reluctantly under Su Quan's silent gaze.
Su Quan fixed his gaze on the second Silk Spectre and reached out his hand to her: "Together?"
The second Silk Spectre hesitated, but Magik urged her bluntly: "Come on, my world is much more interesting than yours."
As fellow female contestants in the Void Brawl Arena, the relationship between the second Silk Spectre and Magik was better than with others. With her urging, the second Silk Spectre, who had been hesitant, had no choice but to walk over.
Come to think of it, the second Silk Spectre and Magik were of the same style; both followed the 'leg' route.
When they fought, they were both heroic and straightforward!
"Hum!"
The stars shifted, space changed. The second Silk Spectre and Magik only felt a flash before their eyes, and then they realized they had left the Void.
The hotel environment made the two of them pause slightly. A wicked smile appeared on Magik's face, and with a swoosh, she disappeared.
The second Silk Spectre was startled. After reacting, she hurriedly looked at Su Quan, only to find that there was no surprise or anger on Su Quan's face; he even had a faint smile on his lips.
"Bang!"
The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground came abruptly from the inner room of the suite.
A moment later, the door was pushed open from the inside, and a disheveled Magik walked out, limping, with a look like she had seen a ghost.
"How... how did you do that?" Magik asked unhappily with a sour face.
She hadn't intended to escape; she was just a bit excited to have finally left the Void and returned to her own world, so she thought she'd be a bit playful.
She had intended to go out for a spin and come back, but the portal she opened from Limbo had an accident, causing her to fall directly onto the floor of the inner room of the suite.
That fall was solid!
"If there is a next time, I will erase your ability." Su Quan said indifferently.
Magik panicked inside, but on the surface, she pretended to be calm and asked: "You can erase a mutant's ability?"
"Guess!"
Magik scoffed: "Forget it if you won't say."
I smoke, drink, fight, and have tattoos, but I am a good girl—
That is exactly Magik!
Su Quan might know her better than she knows herself. Don't look at her usual devil-may-care attitude, acting like she's not afraid of anything and shouldn't be messed with; in reality, this is just her protective color.
Deep in her heart, she has unknown timidity and weakness.
She has claustrophobia and is afraid of smiling people!
In the movie, as the big sister of the sanitarium, she bullied the newcomer Mirage. But when Mirage manifested the Demon Bear without knowing it, she was the one who stepped forward and fought it head-on!
Simply put—Magik is someone you can count on; when things happen, she really steps up!
Noon.
In the sanitarium office, Dr. Reyes, in a white coat, enthusiastically received the two new colleagues sent by the company—Su Quan and Laura.
Obviously, Su Quan used his psychic ability.
After some polite pleasantries, Dr. Reyes straightened her posture and asked with some trepidation: "Does the company have any instructions for sending you here?"
Su Quan shook his head.
No instructions?
Dr. Reyes asked hesitantly: "Then about Illyana running away..."
"Because there was no major loss and she was caught back, the big issue was turned into a small one, and the small one was turned into nothing."
"However, to avoid similar things from happening again, the company decided to send more personnel, which is me and Laura."
Su Quan paused for a moment and said 'frankly': "Let's be honest, Laura and I won't be staying here long, and we won't interfere with your work. We came here just to make our resumes richer and better-looking. Do you understand what I mean?"
Just here to gild the lily, Dr. Reyes breathed a sigh of relief and became even more enthusiastic toward Su Quan and Laura.
"I understand, I understand."
"You must be tired from the long journey, right? Should I take you to your rooms to rest first, and then talk about work after you've rested?"
Very sensible.
Su Quan said with a smile: "I can call you Reyes, right?"
"Of course you can."
"Then I'll trouble you, Reyes."
"We're all colleagues, come with me."
Dr. Reyes stood up with a smile and enthusiastically took Su Quan and Laura to choose rooms.
The sanitarium only had two buildings: one was a clock tower, and the other was the main building. The main building was U-shaped, with two floors.
Su Quan and Laura chose two adjacent rooms at the end of the second floor on the east side.
First, the lighting here was good, and the rooms were big enough.
Second, downstairs were the rooms of the mutants like Magik, Mirage, and Wolfsbane.
Finally, this place was furthest from Dr. Reyes's room and the core work area, which was his way of showing her his attitude of slacking off.
After checking the rooms to ensure there were no bugs or surveillance, Su Quan opened the closet against the wall, connected to Storm's world, and created a space gate.
The other side of the space gate was the closet in Storm's room. No matter which side you entered the closet from, you could go to the other side.
Immediately afterward, he used his psychic power to cross the universe and connect with Storm, telling her about the space gate in the closet, explaining the situation and arrangements here, and chatting a few private words until Storm had to go teach her students before disconnecting.
Su Quan rested for a while, maybe an hour or two, and heard a light knock on the door.
"Bang, bang, bang—"
The knocking was very light and rhythmic, as if worried about waking the person inside.
Su Quan got up and went to open the door. Outside was Dr. Reyes holding a tablet computer.
Dr. Reyes asked with a smile: "How was your rest? I didn't disturb you, did I?"
Su Quan replied with a smile: "If it's you, I'm not afraid of being disturbed."
Dr. Reyes was stunned, not reacting for a moment. He... is he flirting with me?
She pretended not to understand the meaning, smiled, and handed over the tablet computer, saying: "Including Illyana, there are currently five mutants. The other four are..."
"Rahne Sinclair, codename Wolfsbane."
"Roberto da Costa, codename Sunspot."
"Sam Guthrie, codename Cannonball."
"And the newly received Danielle Moonstar, codename Mirage."
"According to tests, Danielle has strong psionic power, but it is very unstable. Our main job is to help her stabilize her ability, let her learn the rules, and use her for our purposes."
Dr. Reyes introduced them, and seeing that Su Quan had no objections, she asked with a smile: "What content are you planning to be responsible for?"
