Chapter 911

~6 min read 1,061 words

Laura Kinney's adamantium claws are different from Jin Ganglang's and Lady Deathstrike's. Jin Ganglang has three steel claws on each hand, and Lady Deathstrike has nails on the ten fingers of her hands.

And she... has two steel claws on each hand and one steel claw on each foot!

The total number of steel claws is the same as Jin Ganglang's, but they are equipped on both top and bottom, more flexible and more lethal!

"Do you want to be with us?"

Calling Lady Deathstrike over specifically was not to let Laura Kinney call him Daddy, nor was it to recognize relatives. Su Quan's goal was only one, and that was to recruit her!

Laura Kinney hesitated.

Her childhood experience was very miserable; she accepted experimental modification since she was a child and accepted various killing training. Even after leaving the laboratory and joining the Essex Corporation, she was treated as a killing machine.

For several years, she also proved that she was an excellent killer.

However, she was very confused; she didn't know why she wanted to become a killer, why she wanted to become a killing machine, and why she wanted to bring pain to others.

But if she doesn't do these things, what else can she do?

Confusion, loneliness, sorrow...

Various emotions would surge into her heart from time to time when she woke up from a dream at midnight, making her can't help but think, why is she alone, and what is the meaning of her existence?

Su Quan's proposal made her heart move. Of course, they are not her parents, but the same ability made her naturally have a good impression and trust.

"I..." Laura Kinney hesitated, not knowing what to say.

Omega Sentinel couldn't help but speak.

"X-23, do you want to betray the company? Do you know what the consequences of doing this will be? The company won't let you go, and it won't let you guys go!"

Laura Kinney looked at her and said calmly: "I'm not afraid, and I don't care."

"Why? Just because they have the same abilities as you? Don't be stupid; there can be one of you, and there can be countless of you. They have nothing to do with you."

"You... you will die!"

Omega Sentinel persuaded loudly in incomprehension.

She was not alarmist; even if Laura Kinney has powerful self-healing abilities, the company already has ways to completely kill her.

Jin Ganglang, didn't he die!

Laura Kinney shook her head and said slowly but firmly: "No, I just... want to make a decision myself for once!"

Omega Sentinel opened her mouth and finally sighed: "Forget it, since you have already decided, I can't stop you, I can only..."

"Boom!"

The head of Omega Sentinel, who hadn't finished speaking, suddenly exploded.

Flesh and blood splattered, the headless modified body tilted slowly, and blood gradually drowned the ground.

"Ah..."

Gideon, who had fainted, happened to be splashed on the face. The scalding blood woke her up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the headless Omega Sentinel and screamed subconsciously.

Following that, a special energy fluctuation was transmitted from her body, and the flow of time was instantly paused.

People, objects, even the lights on the wall, the blood on the ground, the breeze blowing—everything was motionless.

Gideon retreated slightly in fear, got up slowly while holding the wall, glanced at the corpses of Omega Sentinel and X-Man, and then looked at the strange woman who appeared on the enemy's side and Laura Kinney with a calm expression.

She gritted her teeth and walked toward Laura Kinney staggeringly.

The task the company gave them was to capture the man named Su Quan alive at any cost.

But now they were almost wiped out, leaving only herself, who was seriously injured and dying, and Laura Kinney, who only knew how to act recklessly; they couldn't complete the task at all.

In her current state, it is impossible to keep pausing time to send Su Quan back to the company; she can only... only take Laura Kinney and retreat first.

As long as she leaves this laboratory, she can restore the flow of time and let her take her back to the company for treatment.

New Magneto, X-Man, and Omega Sentinel all died; this time the company's strongmen suffered heavy losses, so they should... should not kill them because the task failed.

Gideon came to Laura Kinney step by step, pulled her arm, and prepared to drag her away, but just at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.

"You want to take her away; did you ask me?"

Gideon was startled and turned to look at Su Quan, who had a faint smile.

"You... you... how is this possible?! You are actually not affected by the flow of time!"

Su Quan shrugged: "It's not that only you can manipulate time; my authority over time is higher than yours."

Gideon was stunned. Her only ability and means was to pause the flow of all time except herself. Now that someone who was not affected suddenly appeared, it really confused her.

What... what should I do now?

Rush up?

No, that's suicide!

Run?

Even if she gave up on Laura Kinney, she couldn't run out, and even if she ran out, in her current state, how far could she run?

Moreover, she couldn't get rid of the opponent at all.

Looking at the at-a-loss Gideon, Su Quan couldn't help but laugh and shouted: "Hey, you are going to die."

"I... I know." Gideon murmured.

"Want to live?"

"As long as you change your allegiance and follow me, I will heal your injuries. Otherwise... in your current state, you don't need me to make a move; within ten minutes, you will die!"

"You are still so young, haven't seen more and broader futures, haven't enjoyed real life, and you are going to die like this—are you willing?"

Gideon's mouth twitched: "I... I am not willing..."

Su Quan smiled without saying a word and slowly stretched out his hand to her.

A moment later, a slender hand grasped his, and Gideon also turned and stood by his side, restoring the flow of time.

"Eh?"

"When did you..."

The moment the flow of time returned to normal, everyone was surprised to find Gideon standing by Su Quan's side, while also holding his hand.
