Chapter 818: Because you are destined for greatness! (Second update, please subscribe!)
Hank McCoy didn't take the bait. He didn't know if Su Quan could truly do it or what method he would use, but the other party's meaning was clear: if he wanted help, he would have to pay a price.
Could the price for such a thing be small?
Rather than speaking rashly, it was better to wait until they were more familiar before making plans.
Su Quan didn't mind. The only value Hank McCoy had was his experience in dealing with officials; after all, a position like a diplomat wasn't something just anyone could hold. That he could become the Director of the Department of Mutant Affairs while covered in blue fur showed his capability.
Come to think of it, the development trajectories of Hank McCoy in the two timelines were different. In this timeline, he went into politics and became a diplomat, while in the other, he became a pure scholar and scientist.
The school was large, and the scenery was beautiful.
After a simple tour, they arrived at the Professor's office.
Drinking tea, chatting.
After a while, the Professor took out a stack of blueprints and a disc: "These are the blueprints for Cerebro and the Danger Room programs. If anyone volunteers to go with you, we won't stop them, but..."
"This is a school, and I don't want anything to happen that affects the lives and safety of the students."
Su Quan said with a smile: "So you just want me to behave myself."
The Professor remained silent.
That's right, that's exactly what he meant!
Based on his current understanding of Su Quan, he wasn't a pure villain. Perhaps what he did wasn't righteous, but it couldn't be called evil either; it could only be said that their stances were different.
If he and Wan Ciwang acted for the sake of the mutant and human groups, then Su Quan acted for himself.
Selfish, self-interested, self-centered—as long as you didn't provoke him or affect his interests, he wasn't hard to get along with.
Moreover, his strength was evident; unless necessary, the Professor didn't want to make an enemy of him.
Su Quan made an OK gesture and said with a smile: "I'm in a good mood right now, so I'll tell you a piece of news for free: Wan Ciwang has built a machine that can turn humans into mutants. He captured Anna just to start this machine."
"He is currently looking for a mutant to replace Anna, preparing to start the machine during the United Nations summit."
"By the way, there is a Senator named Luo Bote who is a pioneer against mutants. He should have already been captured by Wan Ciwang and transformed into a mutant, but this kind of transformation..."
Su Quan spread his hands: "If you don't hurry and bring him back, I'm afraid he won't live much longer."
This Senator Luo Bote was the one in the movie who gained stretching abilities after being transformed into a mutant. After he escaped from Wan Ciwang, he was brought to the school, and not long after, his body simply turned into water and he died.
He died completely, not even leaving a corpse behind.
The Professor nodded with a solemn expression and ordered: "Jean, you take them to find rooms to settle in first, then notify Storm to come to the Cerebro room to find me."
"Yes."
Jean Grey nodded in response and led Su Quan and the other two out of the office.
Su Quan, Anna, and the Nightcrawler—one room each. Jean Grey settled them in, then went to find Storm, and they went to the Cerebro room together.
The Professor had already confirmed Su Quan's news through Cerebro. Senator Luo Bote was currently near a certain beach, and his condition was very wrong.
Additionally, the Professor discovered he couldn't find Wan Ciwang. There was only one explanation for this: Wan Ciwang had found another helmet that could block psychic abilities!
This made the Professor feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Because Wan Ciwang's helmet couldn't block Su Quan at all; he had rushed to build the helmet again, and what he was guarding against wasn't Su Quan, but himself!
I saved you from Su Quan's hands, and you do this—is that polite?
"Jean, Storm, you two go and bring Senator Luo Bote back safely." The Professor told the location of Senator Luo Bote to Jean Grey and Storm, who had just arrived.
"Yes."
The two responded and immediately set off in the Blackbird jet to find Senator Luo Bote.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Kitty stood at the door of Su Quan's room, knocked on the open door, and waved with a smile: "Hi, are you going to stay at the school from now on?"
Su Quan gestured for her to come in and said with a smile: "I'll be staying here for the time being. I'm here to pick people."
"Pick people?"
"Do you know Wan Ciwang?"
"I've heard of him."
"Wan Ciwang wanted to capture Anna—that girl beside me who is about your age—and then he was taught a lesson by me. To save him, the Professor agreed to two conditions, one of which is that he won't stop any mutants in the school who volunteer to go with me."
Su Quan smiled at the surprised Kitty and said casually: "I think highly of you. Do you want to come with me?"
Kitty said in a panic: "Go, go where? I... I don't even know who you are or what your name is."
"My name is Su Quan."
"As for who I am, even if I told you, you wouldn't know or understand what my identity means right now."
Su Quan looked at her and said with a smile: "I understand you; you don't have the ambition to set yourself up as a king and venture out alone. Therefore, you will always have to choose a person or a force."
"We didn't know each other before." Kitty admitted that Su Quan was right, but she was curious about how Su Quan understood her.
Su Quan shrugged: "Because you are destined for greatness."
Kitty felt a bit shy, then shook her head apologetically: "Sorry, I, I don't have any thoughts of leaving the school for now."
Su Quan smiled without minding. He hadn't expected that just by meeting and exchanging a few words, he could rely on his silver tongue to make Kitty follow him.
He had said it himself just now: Kitty wasn't an ambitious person; her personality was more about being content with the status quo.
If it were Pyro, it might be possible. That guy's rebellious personality destined him not to be a settled person; in the movie, he was also won over by Wan Ciwang in just a few words.
On the surface, he seemed to have become Wan Ciwang's right-hand man, but in reality, he was just a pawn, throwing his weight around by relying on Wan Ciwang.
Simply put, Pyro was someone who admired strength!
For such a person, talking about feelings or gratitude is useless. As long as you are strong and your fists are hard, he will naturally bow down and take the initiative to follow you.
"What do you usually do besides attending classes? Do you just stay in the school all the time?" Su Quan asked.
Kitty nodded and said: "The school doesn't allow us to go out privately. Besides, this is the suburbs, and there's no transportation. Even if we left the school, there's nowhere to go."
"And..."
"If our identities were discovered, it might cause unnecessary trouble and danger." ===== CHAPTER 820 =====
