"Serious enough now?"

Serious or not, Storm understood the implication behind Su Quan's words: she and Jean could no longer 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 rather failing the Professor's care and cultivation, and leaving the academy that needed their protection!

Su Quan had pulled the rug out from under them, resolving their greatest troubles and worries.

Storm looked at Su Quan with a smile in her eyes: "If you want me to follow you wholeheartedly, then conquer me. 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, gazing at the scenery outside, when a pair of hands reached around from under his ribs and hugged him from behind.

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

Storm pressed 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 smiled and said: "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, the inside and outside of the room are two different locations. Inside is still a suite in a New York hotel, while outside is some unknown suburb. The only building nearby is a recovery center under the Essex Corporation, which can also be called a sanatorium."

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 the 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 the Void I told you about 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 snatched from this sanatorium. Her name is Magik, real name Illyana Rasputin."

"Rasputin?" Storm let go of Su Quan, came before 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 clearly when he enrolled, unless..."

Colossus had no sister, but Su Quan said this Magik was Colossus's sister, so there could only be one truth.

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