Chapter 981: Without darkness, how can there be light? (Second update, please subscribe!)

Clarice supported Esme, who was swaying: "Are you okay?"

Esme shook her head gratefully: "Thank you, I'm fine, I'll be better after a rest."

After saying that, she looked at Sonya: "Did it work?"

Sonya suppressed the complex and painful memories, let out a breath, and said slowly: "Her memories are very chaotic. I only saw a part of them. Her name is Chloe, and she has been suffering inhumane torture in a secret military base."

"They injected her with a drug. This drug can make mutants stronger quickly, but it also causes serious damage to the body and brain."

"This drug is addictive, and they controlled her to become a Hound through this drug."

The secret military base must be the third-party military company—Trask Industries.

As for the drug, it seems to be called Kick, a kind of mutant drug.

This thing exists in the comics; it can improve a mutant's ability to a certain extent, but long-term use leads to genetic collapse and mental disorder.

Ordinary humans can't take it; basically, one hit and they're dead.

Sage found some information about her through her name.

She used to live in a trailer park in the suburbs of Jasper. Because her child was sick and the pediatrician refused to treat mutants, she destroyed the doctor's office in a fit of excitement and was arrested by the Sentinel Services.

Chloe's role in the show was to introduce Esme and the Hound Program. Su Quan remembered her as a person, but didn't remember her life story.

He even used "short-haired girl" to describe her; he didn't expect her to have a child...

Sonya said in a low voice: "She might... be dying soon."

Chloe's complexion was waxy white, her dark circles were deep, and she was mentally disordered and manic in her behavior, very much like those guys who take too many drugs.

"Can she be saved?" Clarice looked at Su Quan.

She can be saved.

And she cannot be saved.

Not to mention she wasn't dead yet, even if she were, Su Quan could resurrect her.

The problem is, if he saves her today, what about when he encounters other Hounds in the future? Should he save them too?

Su Quan is no saint; he doesn't have the grand sentiment of saving all mutants. He knows very well what his goal is and what he wants.
