Chapter 944

~4 min read 751 words

She remembered they didn't seem to have self-reported their identities; how did Lauren know they were from the mutant underground organization?

Caitlin was just about to pursue the question when Lauren continued to speak with skepticism.

"In the car, I had a dream; it should... it should be a dream... anyway, it was very real, and very illusory."

"I dreamed of that boy; he said his name was Su Quan; he... he took me to the mutant underground organization; it was an abandoned bank building, and there were many mutants inside."

A dream?

This... is this reliable?

Reed and Caitlin looked at each other, feeling it was a bit absurd.

A dream is just a dream; how could it be real?

But...

Lauren couldn't have known about the mutant underground organization, nor could she have known that boy's name, let alone the base of the mutant underground organization.

"Anything else?" Reed pursued.

A flash of unnaturalness crossed Lauren's face, and she said calmly, pretending to be calm: "No, I just dreamed of these."

"The base of the mutant underground organization, that abandoned bank building—do you know where it is?"

Lauren shook her head: "I don't know; he just took me, and then with a whoosh, we were there."

"You might as well have said nothing." Andy couldn't help but complain.

Lauren retorted: "No, it's different! He told me that as long as I call his name, no matter where I am, he will appear!"

Andy curled his lips: "It's getting more and more unreliable; you can hear your call no matter where you are—do you think he's God?"

"Dad, Mom, this is true; I didn't lie to you!" Lauren looked at her parents; although their expressions weren't as direct as Andy's, they also looked like they didn't believe it.

Lauren actually didn't quite believe this dream was real either, but the family's reaction made her a bit angry.

What do you mean? Do you think I'm lying to you?

Lauren hummed and called Su Quan's name.

"Su Quan."

"Su Quan."

"Su Quan."

"Su..."

"Stop calling; it's impossible for this person to exist! This is just your dream; everything that happened in the dream is fake; why are you still taking it seriously..."

Andy was a bit impatient, but before he could finish his words, he was stunned, and Reed and Caitlin were also stunned.

A boy appeared out of thin air in front of them without warning.

Except for Reed, everyone else recognized him; this boy was exactly one of the two mutants they were talking about!

"Su Quan, you really appeared!"

Lauren stood up and shouted, her heart filled with excitement.

Dad, Mom, Andy, did you see it?

He came!

He really came!

Su Quan looked at her: "You called me just to see if I would come?"

Lauren's expression stiffened, and she hurriedly wanted to explain, but her father on the side had already stood up and reached out his hand nervously.

"Hello, my name is Reed; we... we need your help!"

Su Quan didn't reach out and said pointedly: "I know who you are better than you do."

Reed was stunned and just wanted to pursue the question, but Su Quan changed the subject and got straight to the point: "You want to join the mutant underground organization?"

"No... we... we want to ask you to send us safely to Mexico, not to join your organization."

"Of course, I can tell you the news about Polaris, such as which prison she will be sent to and what route she will take."

Reed hurriedly explained; he just wanted to ensure his family's safety and hadn't thought about defecting.

Su Quan shook his head: "Lauren can summon me; naturally, Lorna can summon me too!"

In other words, the only bargaining chip that could be used for negotiation was useless...

Reed's face looked ugly as he tentatively asked: "I don't want my children to take risks, and... are there any other conditions that would make you help us?"

Su Quan looked at him: "I am saving you!"

"I know."

Smuggling to Mexico—isn't that saving them?

You know? You don't know anything!

Do you think the 'saving you' I said refers to helping you smuggle to Mexico and getting rid of the Sentinel Services' pursuit?

Hammer!

Once Lauren and Andy, this new generation of Fenris Twins, are discovered by the Sentinel Services—or to be precise, by Dr. Campbell, the head of the Trask Industries unit—the ending will be a big, miserable word!
