#425 - The girl who looks like a secret agent

Qin couldn't help but reveal an 'auntie' smile. Over the past few months, as a psychologist, she had conducted many treatments on Ororo. After all, Ororo had not only been imprisoned for a long time and subjected to human experiments but also kept in a small space for a long time while suffering from claustrophobia.

Perhaps because she had been locked up for too long, Ororo had a considerable interest in plants such as flowers, grass, and trees. So, in order to stabilize Ororo's emotions, Qin asked Yang Le to prepare some plants for her.

Yang Le naturally agreed. For him, it was as easy as moving his fingers. He even created a sea of flowers during this time. Now, not only Ororo but all the mutants on the island loved that sea of flowers. They would basically go for a stroll whenever they had time.

The sea of flowers even became a popular dating spot for young men and women on the island. Qin and Scott especially liked to wander there, and they caught many pairs of students.

Interestingly, because this sea of flowers was created by Yang Le after hearing that Ororo liked flowers, many mutants were spreading rumors that Yang Le actually liked Ororo. This rumor even reached Ororo's own ears.

However, Ororo herself did not respond in any way, but she went to the sea of flowers more frequently, almost whenever she had free time.

As for the other protagonist of the rumor, Yang Le, he was completely unaware of this matter because he spent all day immersed in his own little world, studying various crops. Therefore, he rarely interacted with other people on the island.

Besides the faculty and staff, the people Yang Le had the most contact with were Li Qianhuan, who often came to steal food. And these people would naturally not tell Yang Le the rumors, so the fact that Yang Le liked Ororo was known to almost all the mutants on the island except for himself.

Including Magneto.

"Then I'll continue," Scott said, seeing that Yang Le had appeased Ororo, and resumed playing the live recording.

"This thing's ability is to release a powder that gets people high," the black boy, Neil, continued to mutter. "This stuff isn't just legal, but the effect is also very amazing. Man, after smoking that stuff, no other drugs can catch my eye."

"We're in Hell's Kitchen!" Neil suddenly became excited and shouted. "Ten dollars gets you five grams. If you want some, come to Hell's Kitchen and find me!"

Then there was a lot of meaningless shouting. Outside the screen, his companions seemed to be echoing him. For a moment, Yang Le thought he was watching a documentary about chimpanzees.

"Boom!"

A loud sound came from the tablet. Just as Yang Le thought the group of junkies had fried their brains from drug use and ignited the gas, another sound came from the tablet.

First, there were screams from Neil and his companions, and then a clear female voice.

"A bunch of insects! Compared to you, the devils of Hell are more noble!"

Then there was the sound of smashing and banging, and terrified screams. After a series of changes, the screen remained focused on one spot, as if the person holding it had dropped it in a panic. After a while, it finally quieted down.

"Are you okay?"

The female voice rang out again, but compared to before, it was less indifferent and more gentle.

"I have punished them. Now, no one can hurt you anymore."

"Let's leave here first."

The female voice spoke alone for a long time. After a rustling sound, the screen finally changed again. Two figures appeared in the lens. One was trembling all over, and judging by the hair color, it should be the mutant who had been cowering in the corner earlier.

The other was supporting her, and the slightly taller figure should be the owner of the female voice. Even with such rough picture quality, the other party's golden hair seemed to shine.

Suddenly, the other party seemed to have discovered that someone was spying on her. The tall woman suddenly turned her head, and was caught by the camera on the ground. Although it was a bit blurry, you could still see the other party's beauty.

Seeing this face, Yang Le couldn't help but feel a little familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before. The video stopped right at this moment.

"Next, I'll explain in detail," Scott said, zooming in on the woman's picture and continuing.

"Originally, this was just an ordinary rescue companion interaction, but after I gave this video to Piotr, he said that the girl in this picture was very similar to his long-lost sister."

'That's right!' Yang Le nodded fiercely in his heart. Wasn't the girl in this video somewhat similar to Magik, whom he had seen in the Franklin Universe? Before, because the picture was too blurry, he couldn't recognize her immediately, but after Scott's reminder, he immediately reacted.

"I'm not very sure," Piotr said in a deep voice. "I have been separated from Illyana for several years, but for some reason, I feel that the girl is my sister."

While speaking, Piotr kept stroking a mottled trinket in his hand. Yang Le took a closer look and recognized that it was a pendant. A yellowed photo was placed in the oval box, and you could barely see a picture of a little girl inside.

"We can find out by going and taking a look," Yang Le stood up and patted Piotr on the shoulder. The collision of wood and metal made a bang.

"Yes, sir," Piotr gently held the pendant in his hand, his metallic eyes gradually becoming firm. "Even if she is not my sister, she is still our compatriot, and she needs our help at this time."

Steady and firm, perhaps that's why Piotr is the only student who can participate in the Mutant Rescue Team missions. Although they are only simple peripheral tasks, the adults are cultivating him, and Scott is even cultivating him according to the standards of a successor.

"The problem lies here," Scott's expression was more serious than ever. He operated on the tablet again, and finally pulled up a news report.

"Not long ago, the news reported the situation of that group of junkies. Six black men were killed in their homes in Hell's Kitchen. The commotion was so great that there were holes in the walls. The police released this statement based on the live broadcast and information from surrounding residents."

"A suspected mutant attacked and killed six black men. They are now on the run. Please take care of your own safety and try not to go out. If you find anyone with similar characteristics, please call the police immediately."

Scott put down the tablet and continued: "Not only that, because so many people died, many superheroes have also set their sights on our two compatriots. They will not stand on our side, so this mission is very likely to be a head-on confrontation with those masked vigilantes."
