Chapter 532

His speed—is faster than mine!

Chloe was shocked, her hands clawing hard at the hand gripping her throat, trying desperately to break free from the restraint.

Unfortunately, her strength was too weak.

After struggling a few times, not only did she fail to break free, but she exhausted her strength, her eyes rolled back, and she passed out.

"Thud."

Su Quan threw her on the ground, glanced at Sonya and Clarice, who had already gotten up and were unharmed, and asked Esme, who was still gasping for air, with a smile: "Are you okay?"

"I-I'm fine..." Esme grabbed Su Quan's outstretched hand and stood up.

Fine?

How could she be fine?

Among the three who were knocked down, she was the most miserable; that last punch almost made her vomit, and she still felt like her insides were churning.

"Who... who is she?" Looking at the unconscious Chloe on the ground, Sonya asked with a frown.

Su Quan let go of Esme and said casually: "The Hound Program."

"She's a Hound? Was she sent here as a spy?"

Clarice found a beacon in Chloe's bag. It was obvious she was a spy, and her goal was likely to infiltrate the mutant underground organization's base and then activate the beacon so Dr. Campbell or the Sentinel Services could lock onto the base's location.

"Before, that was probably how the incident happened," Sonya said in a low voice, looking at Clarice.

Clarice's foster parents had always been helping mutants, and this sudden incident was nine times out of ten because the beacon exposed their location, leading to a precision strike by the Sentinel Services.

Thinking of her foster parents' tragic deaths, Clarice wished she could kill Chloe right now to avenge them.

However, she held back.

Chloe was just a controlled Hound; her true enemies were the Sentinel Services and Dr. Campbell!

"Let's go back first!"

"Whoosh—"

Clarice threw out a teleportation crystal, opened a portal, and signaled everyone to head to the mutant underground organization's base.

Chloe was locked in a cell with iron bars. Lorna, John, and Sage already knew what had happened. After settling the mutants they brought back, everyone gathered in front of the cell to discuss how to deal with Chloe.

A few minutes later, Chloe woke up.

She didn't speak, nor did she have any intention of communicating; she just stared at them ferociously and viciously, occasionally using her super speed to slam into the bars, looking somewhat abnormal.

"What do you think?" Lorna, with her arms crossed, asked everyone.

Sage didn't say how to deal with Chloe, but instead expressed concern about their upcoming situation: "If the Sentinel Services are planting Hounds everywhere, we might not be able to take in fugitives anymore."

John said: "We cannot abandon people who have nowhere else to go just because there might be dangerous individuals among them."

Everyone was silent.

Lorna brought the topic back: "Let's first talk about how to deal with this irritable miss. We need to try our best to extract information from her and see if we can clarify her identity."

"Sonya?"

Sonya's Dream Smoke could extract information.

Sonya nodded and approached the cage, wanting to make Chloe inhale the Dream Smoke.

But Chloe's reaction was very sharp, as if she knew what Sonya was going to do, and she kept moving back and forth with super speed, making it impossible for Sonya to blow the smoke accurately.

This was a disadvantage of Sonya's ability; she could only control the other party through Dream Smoke at close Detection Range.

After trying a few times, Sonya shook her head and gave up.

"I'm no good at dealing with moving targets. Even if she inhaled it, it would probably be metabolized quickly, and I wouldn't be able to see any memories."

Lorna sighed helplessly, wondering whether to trap Chloe so she couldn't move, or go to Void Island to find someone for help.

Su Quan had created a portal in the base that connected to Void Island, allowing travel between the two sides at any time.

At this time, Esme, who had been observing the situation from not far away, walked over: "I'm a telepath. I was the one who discovered her abnormality, and I was the one who warned you, so I think... maybe you could let me try?"

Lorna looked at Su Quan, and seeing that Su Quan had no objections, she nodded and asked: "What is your name?"

"Esme."

Esme came to the front of the cell, and her eyes lit up with blue light.

"Stop!"

Following her command, Chloe, who had been moving at high speed, suddenly froze and stopped.

Mind control, successful!

While exploring Chloe's memories, Esme pretended to struggle and said to Sonya: "I... I can only hold her; you hurry... hurry and look at her memories."

Sonya was stunned; she thought Esme could directly view Chloe's memories, but she didn't expect her to just use her psychic ability to freeze her.

Not only did Sonya think so, but everyone else thought the same.

"Phew..." Sonya blew a puff of pink smoke at Chloe.

After the smoke was inhaled by Chloe, various images appeared hazily in Sonya's mind.

Her memories were very messy.

And very painful.

Although Sonya wouldn't feel the same pain when viewing memories, she could still feel the intensity of the pain that almost made her collapse.

The physical and mental pain was like boundless darkness, about to swallow her whole.

"I... I can't hold on much longer, are you done yet?" Esme panted, shouting somewhat anxiously.

Sonya frowned and said nothing, focusing all her efforts on viewing the memories.

"Tick..."

A drop of sweat slid down Esme's chin. She gritted her teeth and trembled slightly. Anyone could see she was gritting her teeth to hold on, and she was at the end of her rope.

Except for Su Quan.

He knew very well that as one of the Cuckoo sisters, Esme's psychic ability wouldn't be this weak even without the help of her other sisters.

Esme was hiding her ability; she was deliberately showing weakness.

As for the reason, Su Quan could also guess: it was nothing more than the fear that her psychic ability was too strong, which would make them wary.

The terrifying thing about psychic ability is that it can know all your memories without you knowing, leaving you with no secrets.

At the same time, psychic ability can also change a person, turning them into a puppet that obeys orders.

A powerful telepath suddenly appearing in the mutant underground organization's base would definitely make them extremely wary, which was not conducive to her infiltration.

But a telepath whose eyes glowed blue when using her ability, who could only freeze others and couldn't view memories at the same time, wouldn't be feared.

"I can't do it anymore!"

After holding on for a while longer, Esme shouted, staggered back weakly, and began to pant heavily.
