Chapter 896

~4 min read 638 words

Moonlit night.

The pitch-black alley gave off a pungent odor, and all kinds of garbage piled up like a mountain. A mouse drilled around in the garbage, looking for delicious food.

Suddenly, a sneaker with a toe exposed kicked it away. After landing, it squeaked a few times and ran away in a panic.

"This is my territory!"

A woman with messy hair, whose appearance couldn't be seen clearly, wearing ragged clothes, and dirty all over, like a beggar, cursed fiercely at the direction the mouse ran away.

The voice fell, and she seemed to have felt something, as if her hair had exploded, and she turned around and stared at the alley entrance deadly.

Two people stood at the alley entrance. Although their appearance couldn't be seen clearly, their clothing and attire could distinguish that it was a man and a woman, who were looking at her at this time.

"This is my territory, you leave here!" She growled in a low voice, baring her teeth like a beast guarding its territory.

"Are you sure we didn't come to the wrong place? She... is she really the mutant you are looking for?" Laura looked at Su Quan, a little stopping and starting.

Although she hadn't come into contact with many mutants, in her influence, mutants were superhumans with superpowers. Even if their situation was difficult, they wouldn't be reduced to the point of treating a garbage dump as their territory, right?

This is not a mutant at all, this is a homeless person.

No, maybe even worse than a homeless person, this is a beggar!

"That's right, this is the mutant I'm looking for." Su Quan shook his head with a smile and waved at the woman in the alley.

"Whoosh—"

The woman was instantly transported from the alley to Su Quan and Laura's front involuntarily.

An unclear, pungent odor came toward them.

The woman was stunned for a moment, a flash of panic flashed in her eyes covered by messy long hair, and immediately after, her dirty little hand pushed toward Su Quan, wanting to take the opportunity to escape.

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, drop reward: Weaken or enhance mutants around (Chance)"

That's right, this woman who looked like a beggar was the auxiliary mutant Su Quan discovered earlier using his mental ability.

She is a Korean-American girl, her real name is unknown, codename Chance, and she possesses the ability to weaken or enhance the mutants around her.

Her dirty little hand strangely passed through Su Quan's body. When Chance turned around caught off guard, she stumbled and fell to the ground with a "plop."

The ground was very hard, and her nose was very sour. She lay on the ground with red eyes for several seconds before crawling up with her hands and feet, and then retreated a few steps quickly, looking at Su Quan and Laura vigilantly.

Laura explained gently: "Don't be afraid, my name is Laura, his name is Su Quan, we have no malice, you are very safe now, we want to help you."

Chance didn't relax her vigilance and said guardedly: "I don't need your help, you can go!"

Laura frowned and shook her head: "We are really here to help you. Don't you want to continue living in a garbage dump? Come with us, you will have delicious food, clean clothes, and a safe place to live."

"I don't need it!"

"I don't trust you either!"

Chance's attitude was very firm, without any change.

Laura wanted to persuade her again, but Su Quan patted her shoulder, shook his head and said: "Her memory has problems, she doesn't even know what her name is. Her previous experiences make her instinctively not trust anyone. Even if you talk until your mouth is dry, it's a waste of effort."

"Then what should we do?"
