Chapter 873

Su Quan held the tablet and flipped through it slowly. The screen displayed detailed information and real-time status of Mirage, Wolfsbane, and the others.

The sanatorium's corridors, dining room, lounge, medical room, and even each of their rooms were filled with surveillance.

"This Mirage has a nice figure..." Su Quan looked very seriously and intently.

Dr. Lei Yesi's expression was a bit strange. This Su Quan... probably isn't a serious person!

Before finding Su Quan, she had first found Laura, and Laura said that work arrangements were all up to Su Quan.

At first glance, there was no problem; after all, they were just here for gold-plating, but Laura's reaction at the time was very intriguing.

You have to know that as a doctor, she was mainly responsible for the psychological problems of these young mutants, so she was very accurate in judging people. The relationship between Laura and Su Quan was definitely not as simple as just colleagues.

And there was Illyana, who was brought back by them and was now locked in solitary confinement. Although she didn't know what she had experienced, her attitude toward Su Quan was very wrong...

It felt like a mix of closeness and fear!

"Lei Yesi? Dr. Lei Yesi?"

Su Quan waved his hand to wake up Dr. Lei Yesi, who didn't know what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "I'm quite good at controlling abilities, so let me help them stabilize their abilities."

"O-okay, I'll leave this aspect to you and... Laura."

Dr. Lei Yesi nodded in agreement, then reminded him with some worry: "You know the company's rules, right? Employees are not allowed to get too close to these mutants, especially... not allowed to have any inappropriate things happen!"

You might as well just tell me not to flirt with them.

Su Quan curled his lips and said with a smile, unconcerned: "Don't worry, I know what should be done and what shouldn't! Besides, even if something happens, we can just say their mental state is unstable or they discovered the truth!"

Dr. Lei Yesi understood his subtext: once things get out of control, the targets can be disposed of. Anyway, these mutants won't all be used by the company in the end; there will definitely be some 'loss.'

She wanted to warn Su Quan not to mess around, but then she thought, Su Quan could bring Laura here for gold-plating and could bring back the escaped Illyana as if nothing had happened, which meant his background definitely wasn't simple.

As long as it didn't affect her, there was no need to offend him and make everyone unhappy!

The world isn't just about killing and fighting; the world is about human relationships!

Dr. Lei Yesi briefly explained the ability status of Mirage, Wolfsbane, and the others, and then left.

Su Quan looked at the images of the young mutants on the tablet, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he teleported to one of the lonely little ones.

"Whoosh—"

In the lounge, the red-haired girl standing by the window gazing out sniffed and turned around in surprise.

"Who are you? Are you new?"

Su Quan nodded and smiled: "I just arrived today. You can call me Dr. Su Quan."

"Doctor? I thought..." The red-haired girl was stunned. Seeing Su Quan looking so young, she thought he was the same as her, but she didn't expect him to be a doctor.

"My name is Rahne Sinclair. You can call me Rahne."

Su Quan smiled and said: "Let's change the name. How about I call you Wolfsbane?"

Rahne Sinclair's expression froze instantly, showing a hint of anger, but it quickly disappeared.

The name Wolfsbane stung her seemingly calm heart.

She was born in Ullapool in the northern highlands of England. Her mother was a local prostitute and died in childbirth on the night she was born.

Her father was a local Presbyterian minister who adopted her but didn't reveal that he was her biological father.

Her father was very strict with her, instilling strict religious and traditional Catholic moral standards from a young age. However, when she awakened her mutant gene and transformed into a werewolf for the first time, the religious locals believed she was possessed by the devil.

Or rather, they believed she had become an evil werewolf.

She suffered a lot of torture and was finally saved by people from the Essex Corporation and brought here.

Her personality and the education she received made her the most obedient good child in the sanatorium, but she never transformed in front of others because her past experiences had become her nightmare!

"I've read your file. Your emotions have always been stable, and your ability control is quite good. Can you tell me why you don't want to leave here?" Su Quan asked with a smile.

Wolfsbane explained cautiously: "I... I can't truly control my ability, and I don't want to hurt anyone. I... I still need time to work hard."

"Do you really think so?"
