"Heh--"
The woman chuckled lightly, turned sideways, and looked up at the calm Samuel: "Quite bold, aren't you? Do You know that if I move forward just a little, the thing pressing against You will pierce Your neck and slit Your throat?"
Samuel glanced at her and smiled, "Impossible, it's too soft!"
"Soft?"
The woman glanced at the dagger and sneered, directly slashing towards Samuel's neck.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle--"
Sparks slightly scattered, and a harsh friction sound rang out.
After one slash, Samuel's neck was completely unharmed.
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: Super Speed (Nightcrawler)"
This, how is this possible?
Nightcrawler was stunned. Holding the dagger, she slashed at Samuel's neck again.
Still sparks slightly scattered, and the sound was harsh.
Still completely unharmed!
"You..." Nightcrawler stared at Samuel with wide eyes. In her perception, the other party was clearly an ordinary person without any Mutant abilities. How could he be fine?
Nightcrawler had two abilities: one was Super Speed, which is high-speed movement; the other was the ability to sense the abilities and levels of Mutants.
In the movie, she joined Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants in X-Men 3, before the Evil Demon Island battle. Psylocke was also with her.
Now it seems that she joined the Brotherhood of Mutants earlier, and she must be the one who discovered Anna!
Samuel waved his hand, and with a bang, Nightcrawler was heavily smashed against the wall in a spread-eagle shape.
Nightcrawler groaned, stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to counterattack, she felt a chill on her neck. The dagger she had used to threaten the other party was now floating in the air, pressing against her own neck.
She instantly stopped, completely still.
"It's, it's You!!!"
Toad was still holding Anna hostage, but his trembling body and voice had already revealed his inner fear!
At this moment, he couldn't help but turn around and want to run!
Nightcrawler didn't know who Samuel was or what he was capable of, but he knew too well. He would never forget the experience of being captured when he was young twenty years ago, and even more, he wouldn't forget the scene of watching him casually select female Mutants in the cage.
Yes, Toad, like White Queen, Cyclops, and the Sainte-Croix sisters, were all prisoners in William Stryker's Base.
When Big Raven recruited prisoners back then, he didn't accept. Later, Gambit rescued them and left that Evil Demon place on Professor X's plane, but after that, he didn't stay at the X-Academy either.
After joining the Brotherhood of Mutants, he had mentioned Samuel to Magneto. Magneto also intended to recruit him, but he and the people around him had disappeared without a trace, with no news whatsoever.
He never expected to see him again on this mission, at this time!
Samuel looked at him and frowned, "Do You want to reminisce, or -- just die?!"
"I, I didn't mean any harm, this is a misunderstanding!"
Although he had never fought him, or even seen Samuel take action, he knew a lot about Samuel's deeds, so he simply didn't have the courage to fight Samuel and released Anna without a second thought.
Anna, who had regained her freedom, rubbed her neck and quickly ran to Samuel's side.
Samuel shook his head and said with some disappointment, "How many times have I told You, fighting will become the norm in the future. Don't panic when You encounter an enemy. The battle armor is enough to guarantee Your safety. As long as You are not instantly killed, as long as You touch the opponent, the winner will definitely be You!"
"Just now, he had already put victory in front of You. You just needed to partially remove the battle armor and grab his tongue with Your hand, and You would have won."
Anna lowered her head and whispered, "I, I was too nervous just now and didn't react."
Under normal circumstances, if Toad used his tongue against Anna, and Anna just stood there doing nothing, Toad would have to pass away on the spot.
Unfortunately, it was her first time being attacked, and she was too nervous, which caused her to forget to control the battle armor and forget her ability!
Strictly speaking, it wasn't entirely her fault. After gaining her ability, she was either with Samuel or wearing the battle armor, which caused her to somewhat neglect her own abnormality, so she didn't think of it immediately.
What is learned from books is ultimately shallow; one must personally practice to truly understand.
"Hey, do You know him?" Nightcrawler called out to Toad.
Toad nodded somewhat uneasily, "He, he is the person I mentioned, Samuel!"
"It's him?"
Nightcrawler had clearly also heard Toad mention him and said in surprise, "Wasn't that twenty years ago? How is he still so young? He looks younger than I am!"
Samuel teased, "You're not bad either. Your figure is more substantial than I thought, it's just Your non-mainstream style..."
Nightcrawler's foundation was quite good. Where she should be thin, she was thin, and where she should be prominent, she was prominent. Although she wasn't a standard white beauty, she was similar to Storm and could be considered a black pearl...
It was just that her style was too non-mainstream.
Not to mention the leather jacket and pants, as long as the figure is good, this kind of outfit is perfectly fine and can even add points.
Tying her long hair into a ponytail was also fine.
But what was with the thick neck collar and lip piercing, as well as the Omega symbol tattoo on the front of her body and the right half of her face?
Although tattoos are a culture in the West, there's no need to tattoo them on Your face, right?
Nightcrawler raised an eyebrow nonchalantly: "You don't like my style?"
Samuel shrugged: "It's not impossible to occasionally change tastes. In life, You have to try everything!"
"I'm a little curious, does the Omega symbol on You have any meaning?"
Nightcrawler said: "I once founded an organization called Omega."
"I see..." Samuel waved his hand, and Nightcrawler, who had been hanging on the wall, fell down.
"Are You with Magneto now?"
"You, You know?" Toad was stunned in surprise for a moment, then confessed: "We joined Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants. Nightcrawler sensed her and her abilities, and we were ordered to bring her back."
Anna asked in confusion: "Why?"
Toad hesitated a little. The purpose of capturing Anna involved Magneto's important plan, and he wasn't sure how Samuel would react after knowing.
"I can tell You why, but—" Nightcrawler suddenly interjected, her eyes on Samuel: "You have to tell me why I can't sense Your abilities and level!"
"In my perception, You are just an ordinary person. My perception has never been wrong. How did You do it?"
Samuel said with a smile: "It's very simple, You are too weak."
...
Nightcrawler was clearly dissatisfied with this answer. I'm too weak? I just wasn't prepared just now.
No matter how strong Your ability is, if Your speed can't keep up with mine, what's the use?
She snorted, and Nightcrawler entered a state of rapid movement, charging directly towards Samuel!
