Chapter 425 The Girl Suspected to Be a Secret Agent

Qin couldn't help but smile. In the past few months, she had treated Ororo many times as a psychiatrist. After all, not only had she been detained for a long time and subjected to human experiments, but she had also been locked up in a small space for a long time due to her claustrophobia.

Maybe because she had been locked up for too long, Ororo had a great interest in flowers, trees and other plants. So in order to keep Ororo calm, Qin asked Yang Leduo to prepare some plants for Ororo.

Yang Le had no objection. For him, it was as easy as moving his fingers. He even created a sea of ​​flowers during this period. Not only Ororo, but all the mutants on the island liked the sea of ​​flowers very much. They would go there to visit whenever they had time.

The sea of ​​flowers has even become a dating destination for young men and women on the island. Jean and Scott like to hang out there and have caught many pairs of students.

Here comes the interesting part, because this sea of ​​flowers was created by Yang Le after he heard that Ororo liked flowers, many mutants are spreading the word that Yang Le actually likes Ororo, and this news even reached the ears of Ororo herself.

However, Ororo herself did not respond at all, but 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 the matter. Because Yang Le spent all day on his own three-acre land thinking about various crops, he rarely came into contact with other people on the island.

Apart from the faculty and staff, the person Yang Le interacted with the most was only Li Qianhuan, who often came over to steal food. Naturally, these people would 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 Yang Le himself.

Including Magneto.

"Then I'll continue." Seeing that Yang Le had coaxed Ororo, Scott started playing the live video again.

"This thing releases a powder that makes you high," the black boy, Neil, continued to mumble. "Not only is it legal, but the effects are amazing. Oh my god, after taking that, I can't even take any other drugs anymore."

"We're in Hell's Kitchen!" Neil suddenly shouted excitedly. "You can get five grams for just ten dollars. Come find me in Hell's Kitchen if you want one!"

What followed was a lot of meaningless shouting, and his companions outside the screen seemed to be echoing him. For a moment, Yang Le thought he was watching a documentary about chimpanzees.

"boom!"

A loud noise came from the tablet. Just when Yang Le thought that these drug addicts had taken drugs and become stupid, thus igniting the gas, another sound came from the tablet.

First came the screams of Neil and his companions, and then a clear female voice.

"You're a bunch of bugs! The little devils in hell are even more noble than you!"

Then there were the sounds of smashing and smashing and screams of fear. After a while of changes, the picture was always locked in one place, as if the person who was holding it had thrown it away in panic. After a while, it finally quieted down.

"Are you OK?"

The same female voice from before rang out again, though this time it was less cold and more gentle. "I've punished them. Now no one can hurt you anymore."

"Let's get out of here first."

The female voice monologued for a long time, and after a rustling sound, the picture finally changed again. Two figures appeared in the camera, one of whom was trembling all over. Judging from his hair color, he should be the mutant who had been curled up in the corner before.

The other person who was supporting her and was slightly taller should be the owner of the female voice. Even with such a rough image quality, the other person's long golden hair looked shining.

Suddenly, the other person seemed to have discovered that someone was peeping at her. The tall woman turned around suddenly and was captured by the camera lying on the ground. Although it was a little blurry, the other person's beauty could still be seen.

When he saw this face, Yang Le couldn't help but feel that it looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, and the video just stopped at this moment.

"I'll explain in detail next." Scott continued after zooming in on the image of the woman.

"It was originally just a normal interaction with a fellow rescuer, but after I gave the video to Piotr, he said the girl in the video looked very similar to his long-lost sister."

"Right!" Yang Le nodded vigorously in his mind. Doesn't the girl in this video bear some resemblance to the Crypto he'd seen in the Franklin Universe? He hadn't noticed it immediately because the image was blurry, but Scott's reminder made him realize it immediately.

"I'm not entirely sure," Piotr said gravely. "Iliana and I have been separated for several years, but I have this inexplicable feeling that she is my sister."

While speaking, Piotr kept stroking a small, mottled gadget in his hand. Yang Le took a closer look and realized that it was a pendant. In the small oval box was a yellowed photo, and one could barely make out that it was a photo of a little girl.

"Just go and take a look and you'll know." Yang Le stood up and patted Piotr's shoulder. The wood and metal collided with each other, making a bang-bang sound.

"Yes, sir." Piotr gently grasped the pendant in his hand, his eyes hardening. "Even if she's not my sister, she's still one of us, and she needs our help right now."

Calm and resolute, this may be the reason why Piotr is the only student who can participate in the Mutant Rescue Team's mission. Although they are just simple peripheral tasks, the adults are training him, and Scott is even training him according to the standards of a successor.

"This is where the problem lies." Scott's expression was more serious than ever. He operated on the tablet again and finally called up a piece of news.

"Not long ago, the news reported on a group of drug addicts. Six black men were killed in their home in Hell's Kitchen. The noise was so loud that a huge hole was torn in the wall. The police issued this statement based on the live broadcast and intelligence from surrounding residents."

"Suspected mutants attacked and killed six black people. They are now on the run. Residents, please take care of your own safety and try not to go out. If you see anyone with the same characteristics, please call the police immediately."

Scott put the tablet down and continued, "Not only that, because so many people died, many superheroes have also set their sights on our two compatriots. They won't stand on our side, so this time we will most likely have to face those masked vigilantes head-on."
