Chapter 520: Digging a hole and man-made mutants? (First update, please subscribe!)
Su Quan dug a hole for Jace Turner!
If Jace Turner chooses to become a Phoenix host himself, he must first possess psychic abilities, because only psychic users are the most compatible and easiest to control the Phoenix Force.
The question is, how can Jace Turner be made to possess psychic abilities?
Genetic modification!
Whether it's William Stryker or Mr. Sinister, the genetic modification technology to let ordinary humans possess mutant abilities is very mature.
What will be the identity of Jace Turner, who possesses mutant abilities?
Human? Or mutant?
Can his position as a hardliner against mutants still be so firm?
If Jace Turner chooses to find a mutant to become a Phoenix host, then this mutant must meet two conditions.
One: A psychic user.
Two: Jace Turner's absolute trust.
The first condition is relatively easy; the second condition is difficult.
Given his hatred and resentment toward mutants, is it possible to make him absolutely and unconditionally trust a mutant?
Especially when it comes to resurrecting his daughter!
If Jace Turner wants to find a mutant who meets the conditions, he must dispel his prejudices against mutants and truly understand them.
In this way, can his position and the underlying logic of hating mutants still stand?
So, whether Jace Turner becomes a Phoenix host himself or finds a mutant to help, the beliefs he previously insisted on must collapse!
Will Jace Turner, whose beliefs have collapsed, still be one of the two major bosses mutants have to face?
Impossible!
Not only will he not be a boss, but he might even work with mutants to deal with Dr. Campbell and the Hellfire Club.
With his status in the Sentinel Services, whether it's finding mutants or saving mutants, he can play a huge role.
This is Su Quan's purpose!
Also...
In the mutant underground, this is definitely an unprecedented achievement, right?
With this achievement as a foundation, plus rescuing Lorna, won't his reputation in the mutant underground take off?
Reputation, strength, ability—
All strong!
If he can also handle Lorna and Sonia, basically as long as he doesn't tell them to commit suicide directly, what he says in the mutant underground is an imperial decree!
At that time, those mutants who were helped and saved—wouldn't he be able to pick them at will?
Back to the point.
With the experience of the previous two times, this time Jace Turner didn't speak as soon as the voice fell.
Su Quan didn't tease him either, and directly stated the prerequisites for using the Phoenix Force to resurrect others.
Hearing that resurrecting his daughter required a psychic user to become a Phoenix host, Jace Turner was stunned. The hope that had just risen was like a flame that had just been lit, swaying and ready to be extinguished at any time.
"You have two choices."
"One, become a psychic user yourself; two, find a mutant who possesses psychic abilities."
Su Quan gave a direction.
Jace Turner was even more stunned: "I become a psychic user? Wha... what do you mean? You can make me a psychic user? You can make me a mutant?!"
"You can make humans into mutants?" Lorna, who was on the side, couldn't help but exclaim.
This... this is too ridiculous, right?
Aren't mutants born because of hereditary genes or genetic mutations?
Whether you are a mutant or not is decided from the moment you are born. How can you man-make mutants?
Su Quan explained with a smile: "Mutants are humans with genetic mutations. Different mutated genes produce different abilities."
"As long as you master the mutated genes, you can turn humans into mutants and precisely possess the desired mutant abilities."
Su Quan looked at Jace Turner: "You are lucky. I have a mature psychic ability genetic mutation sequence in my hand, which can let you relatively safely possess psychic abilities!"
"It's better to rely on yourself than others. For something as important as resurrecting your daughter, it's best not to let others do it."
Jace Turner was in a battle between heaven and man, hesitant and undecided.
Letting him change from an agent who captures mutants to a mutant, he really couldn't accept it.
But Su Quan was right. For something as important as resurrecting his daughter, he really didn't want to let others do it.
"I... I need time to consider," Jace Turner said with difficulty.
"It's okay, I'll give you time. After all, what I lack the least is time," Su Quan said with a smile.
Speaking of time—
Lorna suddenly noticed something wrong. She didn't know when it started, but it suddenly became quiet.
The gunfire was gone, and the screams of the injured were gone.
Even those agents who took the initiative to lie down or run into the distance didn't seem to react, not disturbing them.
What happened?
Lorna looked around and soon widened her eyes. She was shocked to find that those agents weren't moving anymore.
No—it wasn't that the agents weren't moving; it was that the whole world wasn't moving.
Except for the three of them.
Soon, Jace Turner also realized this abnormal phenomenon.
But he reacted quickly and looked directly at Su Quan, subconsciously asking: "Phoenix Force?"
When Su Quan introduced the Phoenix Force, he said it could travel through time. Since it could travel through time, it should also be able to pause time, right?
Su Quan thought about it and nodded in acknowledgment.
Actually, what he used wasn't entirely the Phoenix Force, but the ability of Gideon Malick and Susan Chen to temporarily pause time flow.
However, this ability had already been integrated into the Phoenix Force, so it could be considered part of the Phoenix Force!
Besides, letting Jace Turner witness the Phoenix Force also helped boost his confidence, so he wouldn't think he was drawing a big cake to lie to him.
"Some things, it's better if we just know," Su Quan pointed out to him.
Pausing time was because he didn't want other agents to know about the deal between Jace Turner and himself. After all, what he valued was his status and authority in the Sentinel Services.
Jace Turner nodded. He understood and could figure it out. For Su Quan, his only value was his status as a Sentinel Services agent.
If people found out he was cooperating with mutants, or even had a tendency to cooperate with mutants, even if he wasn't dismissed, he would be suspended.
"*Hum! "
Psychic power poured in, and a number abruptly appeared in Jace Turner's mind.
"This is my contact number. Once you've considered it, call me," Su Quan said.
Jace Turner nodded, and then he saw Su Quan raise his foot and kick toward him.
"*Bang! "
The immense force hit his shoulder. Jace Turner felt like his shoulder was about to break, and then he flew out with a *whoosh*.
One meter... five meters... ten meters... twenty-five...
Fifty meters away, Jace Turner landed, his head hitting the ground, and he passed out directly.
At the same time, the time flow had returned to normal, and the agents' bullets flew toward Su Quan and Lorna again.
Uh, how should I put it, Su Quan's kick had more or less some personal grievances.
