Chapter 453 Let's Blow It
On the exterior of the 78th floor of the hotel where "Xuan Yin" was located, Connors gripped the narrow gap in the wall with both hands, while Peggy clung to him like an octopus behind him.
Having grown accustomed to flying around, Connors, climbing tall buildings with his bare hands, suddenly felt like he was Ethan Hunt, the protagonist of Mission: Impossible.
However, he didn't need to rely on high-tech gloves; he simply used his strength to move upwards.
"Actually, I've had this question for a long time: why are your abilities exactly the same as Emma's? What's your relationship with her?"
Peggy, who was lying on Connors' back with nothing to do, asked a question out of boredom.
Connors ignored her and used his arms to propel himself more than three meters into the air, grabbing the wall with his fingers.
At first glance, Peggy seemed like a cold and beautiful woman, but after less than half a day of getting to know her, she has revealed herself to be a naive and foolish idiot. Connors has no choice but to keep his strength to a minimum in front of her.
"You're not her son, are you?" Peggy asked curiously when Connors didn't answer.
Connors instantly recalled the scene of his passionate encounter with the White Queen Emma in the Mysterious House, and his expression turned strangely: "No."
'
"Then why do you have the same abilities as her? Are you a clone of her? Like the Shadowcrow?" Peggy became increasingly curious. "It's a pity she already sacrificed herself in the battle against the Inhumans, otherwise I would definitely go and ask her."
"I can send you down there to ask her," Connors said, habitually following Eastern beliefs that the dead are underground.
This statement immediately angered Peggy: "Emma should be in heaven. You have the same abilities as her, how could you say something like that?"
He desperately wanted to shut her up—Connors felt a surge of anger rising in his chest. He turned to Peggy and asked, "Do you know what else you can do with your mouth besides eating and talking?"
Peggy, who had been chattering incessantly the whole way, immediately became curious again: "What?"
Two minutes later, Peggy wrapped her legs around Connors' neck and hung upside down on him.
Her eyes were wide open, and tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks and onto her forehead. She was breathing rapidly, her face pressed against Connors's lower abdomen.
Her incessant questioning finally quieted down, and Connors, satisfied, continued climbing the wall while subtly lengthening his arms and legs, using the momentum of his leaps to gain leverage.
Connors could have reached the 130th floor from the 70th floor to the 170th floor in a minute.
But in order to enjoy this rare moment of peace a little longer, Connors decided to do something.
Without a sound, the Mysterious House flew out from the ring on his hand, which was a combination of the Justice Association and the Mystic Ring, and enveloped Connors in a completely transparent form.
He had done this once before on Mars, but last time he was moving horizontally with two Poison Ivy girls and Spider Gwen, while this time he was moving vertically with Peggy.
The mysterious house has no concept of time, and Connors's initial annoyance at the other person's incessant chatter had long since vanished.
Peggy quickly realized something was wrong and said, "It's been over ten minutes, and we're still not there?"
"Don't talk." Connors patted her head.
Peggy seemed to have accepted reality, so the two of them tacitly agreed to stay in the mystery house for half an hour before coming out.
They had arrived at the top floor, the 130th floor, outside the luxurious suite where the world's star singer "Xuanyin" was located.
It was quiet here; apart from "Xuanyin" humming a lullaby to herself, there was no other sound.
"She was the most beautiful girl, and every night she slept alone in a stone castle, a sound that could awaken even the dead, but could not rouse her—"
Her melancholic voice was more melodious than that of fellow star "Ice Moon Flower Snow" Xuexi, and the tune sounded like a medieval folk song.
Connors was completely clueless, but Peggy, with a sudden inspiration, patted Connors on the shoulder: "Stop, stop!"
She whispered in Connors' ear.
"What's wrong?"
"This song is called Sleepyhead————"
Peggy had barely uttered a few words when Connors interrupted her: "I'm not asking for the song's name, I'm asking why it stopped?"
As he spoke, Connors used telepathy to quickly scan the 130th floor, but found no one else besides "Xuan Yin".
This is somewhat unusual. Logically, if the sentry officers and special police didn't know Xuan Yin's identity, there wouldn't be so many ambushes downstairs. But there wasn't a single sentry officer or special police on the floor where Xuan Yin was located.
"This is a code; she is in danger."
Peggy continued whispering to Connors, while secretly sticking out the tip of her tongue to lick his earlobe.
This woman, who could tear off clothes with her actions, seemed to have tasted the sweetness of success, and remained restless even after hearing Peggy's signal.
Connors ignored Peggy and used his telepathy again to confirm that there was no one else on the entire floor except for Xuanyin.
Where does the danger of using coded messages come from?
If it weren't for the woman who had been put back on his back, Connors would have just rushed over, but that wouldn't have been appropriate before gaining the trust of most mutants.
"If you display overwhelming power, people will only fear you. You can control them with power, but you can't gain their trust."
This is a piece of advice that Superman from Earth Zero once told Connors.
"Why don't you go scout ahead?" Connors said to Peggy behind him.
Whether out of confidence or foolishness, Peggy nodded and then stepped onto Connors's shoulder, leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window outside the "Sound of the Radiance" suite.
With a tear of her hands, her clothes and skin peeled off, and her body became almost completely transparent, blending into the floor-to-ceiling window.
When Connors looked at her again, she had already passed through the floor-to-ceiling windows and entered the suite of the dazzling sound. Immediately afterwards, an enormous bluish-gray fist pierced through the floor and firmly grasped Peggy in its hand.
Connors remained motionless. He watched as the enormous fist grabbed Peggy and rapidly shrank until it was the size of an ordinary person's palm. Only then, as it stood by the broken French window, gripping Peggy's neck, did Connors get a clear look at the creature.
It wore a helmet with tentacles on its head, a red outfit, and bluish-gray protective gear on its hands and feet.
This is Ant-Man. He used some unknown means to ambush Xuan Yin in her room, even managing to deceive Connors, who has telepathic abilities.
