When Ms. Gran heard this, she immediately said in a fierce voice: "No, absolutely not!"
Seeing Caesar's puzzled look, Ms. Gran realized that she was too excited and said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I was too excited. It's not that I don't want others to touch her, but it's too dangerous. Even I only dare to touch her in the afternoon when her ability is the weakest."
"Ms. Gran, don't worry about that." Maura smiled and said, "My brother is an excellent teacher. The most important thing is that he and that child are the same kind of people."
"The same kind?" Ms. Gran looked at Caesar as if she understood.
After some explanation and persuasion from Mora, Ms. Gran finally agreed to his request, but still put forward a few conditions. First, only Caesar could go through. Second, if anything happened, he had to leave the room immediately.
Mora agreed readily, and then, under the guidance of Mora and Ms. Gran, Caesar came to the door of the innermost room on the second floor of the villa.
"Remember, if anything happens, leave the room immediately." Ms. Gran reminded again, then carefully took out the key and opened the door.
After Caesar calmly stepped into the room, the door was closed tightly again. He looked inside and saw that it was a room with closed doors and windows. Even the curtains on the windows were drawn. The light inside was dim and the stagnant air was a bit stuffy.
The room was decorated in girlish pink, with soft blankets on the floor and various stuffed toys and dolls piled on the floor. As the door opened and closed, the wind blew the wind chimes hanging on the ceiling, and a clear and pleasant sound echoed in the room.
Caesar took a few steps forward and felt a resistance blocking him. A voice also invaded his brain: "Don't, don't come in!"
Caesar walked forward calmly without changing his expression. He walked directly to the big pink bed and stretched out his hand to pull back the bulging quilt. Inside the quilt, a fair and tender cute girl was curled up in a ball.
The little girl was only about ten years old. She was wearing cat-ear pajamas. The skin on her neck and wrists was as white and tender as snow. Her waist-length golden hair fell on the bed. She looked like a silly and cute little kitten, or like a rose blooming alone on a deserted wall.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
There were still traces of tears on the little girl's face. She didn't open her mouth, but her inner voice was transmitted directly into Caesar's brain. Since he was extremely unaccustomed to this extraordinary ability, the powerful inner voice was enough to directly stun ordinary people.
Caesar showed no discomfort, reached out and touched the other's head, and asked: "Can you hear my heart?"
"No." The little girl looked at him in surprise, and this time she finally spoke with her mouth, making a childish voice as tiny as an ant.
Caesar smiled and said, "That's right. From now on, I will teach you how to control your awakened abilities."
Caesar would not teach anyone easily, but this time, in the loli in front of him, he saw potential that far exceeded that of Charles and Magneto.
"Really?" The little girl blinked her big eyes in surprise and rubbed her little head against his big hand.
"Of course. You've been here for a long time, I'll take you out for a look." Caesar said gently.
"That." The little girl hugged his arms with both hands, as if she mustered up her courage, and said with difficulty: "My name is Jean. Jean Grey."
Caesar looked at her, nodded and said, "Qin, you will be my student from now on."
Neither of them knew that this special encounter would completely rewrite the trajectory of the current time and space.
Chapter 550 Out of the Cage
Villa, first floor lobby.
Ms. Gran sat on the sofa waiting uncomfortably, looking up at the second floor from time to time. Seeing this, Mora smiled and comforted her, "Ms. Gran, don't worry, it's okay. Look, there's no movement up there."
"You don't know." Ms. Gran shook her head and smiled bitterly, "The scariest thing is that there is no movement. I once hired a tutor, hoping to let the child have some contact with people, but as soon as the tutor walked into the room, he foamed at the mouth and fainted on the ground. If I hadn't discovered it in time, he would have died long ago."
"This is really hard for you."
Mora reached out and held Ms. Gran's hand. She also discovered Ms. Gran's family situation half a year ago. She originally wanted to send the mutant child to Charles's School for Gifted Youth, but because of Charles' decadence and loss of telepathic ability, this matter has been delayed.
It wasn't until Caesar mentioned the mutants with powerful abilities that Mora immediately thought of this place, thinking that with Caesar's extraordinary abilities, he might be able to help.
"Tap tap tap—"
At this moment, footsteps sounded from upstairs. Ms. Gran and Maura looked up, and when they saw Caesar holding Qin's hand and walking down the stairs, they were so shocked that they didn't know what to say.
Mora originally thought that Caesar had a chance to solve the problem, but she didn't expect that he would not only succeed, but also solve it so smoothly.
Caesar smiled complacently, patted Qin's head, and coughed lightly: "Qin, say hello to your mother and aunt."
Qin was still a little shy, so she huddled behind Caesar, tightly holding his big hand, as if borrowing courage from it. She took a deep breath and whispered, "Hello, Mom, Auntie."
"Good, good, good! This child finally dares to go downstairs..."
Ms. Gran kept nodding with satisfaction, her eyes slightly red, and she almost shed tears. These days were a torment for her.
"Why call me auntie? Call me sister." Mora kicked Caesar angrily, knowing that he was taking revenge for what happened before.
Caesar sat down on the sofa, and although Jean was shy, she still sat on his lap and buried her little face in his arms affectionately. This made Maura grit her teeth again, feeling that she had found herself a little rival in love.
Ms. Gran didn't care about this. With Caesar's appearance and professional status, he was more than qualified to be her future son-in-law.
She looked at Qin hesitantly and said, "That... Mr. Caesar. Qin's mutant ability..."
"Don't worry." Caesar looked down at Jean and smiled. "As long as she's not too far away from me, there won't be any big problems. I can use energy guidance to stabilize her abilities. As long as she spends a little time learning, I believe she will be able to control her awakened mutant abilities soon."
Mora took the opportunity to say, "Ms. Gran, if you trust us, you can safely hand Qin over to Caesar for instruction."
Ms. Gran hesitated for a moment, looked at Qin in Caesar's arms, and quickly said with relief: "Even Qin, who can see through people's hearts, sticks to you, so why should I worry. I agree, it's better to take her out, so she doesn't have to be imprisoned in this house all day."
Perhaps Ms. Gran also realized that her family was too small and one day it would not be able to restrain Qin, who had unlimited potential.
The phoenix should not stay in a grass nest forever.
After lunch, Caesar took Qin and Mora out of the villa. When they came to the outside of the yard, Qin bathed in the long-lost sunshine. Seeing the things outside, her fair face flushed with excitement.
Caesar glanced at the sky and said, "At this point in time, I think Charles has finished his work. I should go back and meet up with them."
"What about Apocalypse?" Mora asked worriedly.
"He hasn't come out yet. Let's wait until he shows up. Aren't you a CIA agent? You can use various channels and resources to investigate." Caesar stretched out his hands and hugged Qin in a princess hug. His feet gently floated up, stirring up a strong wave of dust, and then turned into a stream of light and disappeared on the spot.
Mora was choked by the dust and kept coughing. He watched Caesar angrily and complained, "This guy just dumped his old love for a new one. At least give me a ride. How can I get a taxi in this deserted suburb?!"
Thousands of meters up in the sky.
Qin, in Caesar's arms, opened her blue eyes wide, looking at the things that were constantly receding to both sides, as well as the vast sky and earth. She was not frightened by being at a high place, but instead let out a clear laugh like a silver bell.
Qin was surprised and said, "Teacher Caesar, are you an angel? You can actually fly."
Caesar deliberately slowed down to keep below the speed of sound, and said with a smile: "I don't have wings. When you master your abilities, you can do this too."
"Really?" Qin's eyes sparkled.
"Of course." Caesar nodded. Yutong's ability was similar to Qin's, and flying with her mind was easy for her. Moreover, Qin's potential was probably even greater than Yutong's. Yutong's strength lay in her superb ability control skills.
It would be great if Yutong could be the teacher.
Caesar's eyes were complicated. He had to admit that after coming to this time and space for so long, he really missed the Marvel time and space where he originally lived.
Qin seemed to sense Caesar's thoughts and stopped talking. She just opened her eyes wide and admired the scenery along the way.
