Chapter 898

Solving Mr. Sinister and the Essex Corporation is only somewhat troublesome and time-consuming for Su Quan; it is far from difficult or thorny.

The time and energy spent compared to the harvest is not even worth mentioning!

First is Mr. Sinister's genetics and cloning technology, especially the latter, which is second to none in the entire Marvel Universe.

Second is the Red Queen he created; the value of the Red Queen is not just about collecting the three great queens, but also involves the Phoenix Force.

Finally, it can be done once and for all; by solving the Mr. Sinister of this world, one can follow the vine to solve the Mr. Sinister of other worlds.

In the new X-Men timeline, the Weapon X project that had Jin Ganglang injected with adamantium was led by the Essex Corporation.

X-23 in *Logan* is also a masterpiece of the Essex Corporation.

Including Deadpool; his ability to gain healing powers and become Deadpool also stems from the Essex Corporation's experiments.

Let's put it this way: Mr. Sinister is the only villain in the mutant film series who causes trouble without showing his face!

The sound of trickling water gradually ceased, the bathroom door was slowly pushed open, and Jiyu, wrapped in a bath towel, walked out cautiously.

Her originally messy, tangled long hair fell smoothly onto her shoulders, revealing her previously obscured, delicate features.

Like a lotus rising from clear water, natural and unadorned.

She is not the type who looks stunningly beautiful at first glance, but she is very delicate, very pure, and has that sweet, girl-next-door feeling.

Such a delicate young girl, with such a rare mutant ability, actually ended up living in a junkyard and keeping company with rats; the Essex Corporation really does harm people deeply!

Su Quan beckoned, and after she approached step by step, he said seriously, "My name is Su Quan, the Lord of the Void of the Multiverse. From now on, you are my person!"

"You, you won't let the people from the Essex Corporation come to catch me, will you?" Jiyu asked uneasily.

Su Quan shook his head: "No."

Jiyu let out a long sigh of relief and asked again, "Will you give me food and ensure my safety?"

"Yes, I will!"

Jiyu nodded heavily: "Then I am willing to follow you; you... you can make me do anything!"

"Anything?"

"Yes, anything!"

"Can you cook braised pork?"

"..."

A trace of confusion flashed across Jiyu's face. Her current situation is somewhat similar to amnesia; although she doesn't remember her past, some common sense and instincts of life remain, and her mental state and logical thinking are also fine.

After recuperating for a period of time, even if she cannot recover her memory, she can start a new life like an ordinary person!

"The current situation is not convenient for you to follow me. I will send you to another world, a world where the Essex Corporation will never find you and will never be able to hurt you. There, someone will take care of you and tell you what to do."

Hearing the name of the Essex Corporation, Jiyu shivered subconsciously and showed a terrified expression, but then hearing that the Essex Corporation would never find her and never be able to hurt her, she slowly felt at ease.

"I, I will listen to you."

Su Quan manipulated the spatial dimension to teleport the White Queen over, told her about Jiyu's ability and encounter, and then sent them back to another world.

In the long night, only Su Quan and Laura, this pair of lonely man and woman, remained in the empty room.

Su Quan drank wine with a normal expression, continued to search for the Red Queen and Mr. Sinister using psychic abilities, and chatted a few words from time to time with Laura, who was inexplicably a bit reserved.

At first, they talked about mutants and the Essex Corporation; gradually, the topic somehow drifted to the Watchmen universe, talking about Laura's childhood life and her mother.

Her mother was named Sally Jupiter, originally a waitress and actress, who joined the hero organization "Minutemen" after World War II and was one of the only two female heroes.

The other was The Silhouette.

The Silhouette was female and preferred women; she was later murdered in her home with her nurse lover.

Sally Jupiter later married the agent of the Minutemen organization, gave birth to Laura, and raised her from childhood to become the second Silk Spectre.

Neither the first Silk Spectre nor the second Silk Spectre, this mother-daughter pair, had any superpowers, but both were skilled combatants, acrobats, and hand-to-hand fighters.

Their uniforms were more provocative than the last; one was silk, the other was leather, and both were in the "yellow" color scheme.

By comparison, why was The Silhouette, also a female hero, less popular and not famous?

Whether in movies or comics, she wore too much; she had no great awareness of saving fabric for the country at all!

"Speaking of which... do you know who your father is?" Su Quan looked at Laura thoughtfully and suddenly asked.

Laura laughed in spite of herself: "How could I not know who my father is?"

"I'm talking about your biological father."

"That's what I'm talking about too."

"Then you might really not know..."

Laura's hand holding the wine glass froze. A moment later, she tilted her head and drank it all in one gulp, pretending to be calm as she said, "This joke isn't funny."

Su Quan said "Hmm": "It's getting late, and I've had a bit too much to drink. Let's get ready to rest; tomorrow we'll go find Takashi Matsuya."

As he spoke, he got up, ready to return to the suite to rest.

"Wait..."

When passing by Laura, Laura suddenly grabbed his wrist, gritted her teeth, looked up, and said, "The world that belonged to me is gone. No matter what the truth is, it has no meaning, and self-deception has no meaning either. Tell me, who is my biological father?"

Past, future, time has no meaning to Su Quan. He knows many things; since he asked, Laura believes he would never speak without a target.

That is to say, there must be a problem with her own background; the father she has always believed in is definitely not her biological father!

"Your father is indeed your mother's husband, but he is not your biological father. This matter, perhaps even he himself doesn't know."

"Your biological father is your mother's comrade-in-arms—The Comedian!"

"It's him?!"

Laura was a bit stunned. Her first reaction was that it was impossible; she had seen The Comedian many times since she was a child and had never noticed anything unusual about him, nor had she noticed him treating her any differently.
