Chapter Five: Is the Protagonist Bai Chu?
Those red lips, warm and...
At that moment, Bai Luoshi felt joy.
Bai Luo experienced a severe sense of suffocation, feeling nothing at all. However, after receiving artificial respiration, the suffocation suddenly receded like a tide. What he saw was a pair of eyes looking at him up close—those belonging to Bai Chu, which had inexplicably turned into a bright, fiery white.
Bai Chu was also shocked; she realized the change within herself. She stood up, as if noticing something, and directly reached out her hand to pull over a distorted shadow that was struggling desperately in her palm. Hesitantly, she asked, "Is this... a ghost?"
The one-meter-three tall Bai Luo quietly sat up, looking at the thing in Bai Chu's hand. He tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "Uh... this..."
It was just at the moment when Bai Chu grasped that thing that a prompt from the System echoed in his ears.
No, to be precise, it was two prompts from the System.
【Congratulations to the host for successfully surviving in a state of having nothing and not being killed by the ghost. Reward: One Old White Rabbit Milk Candy.】
【Mission Objective: Control or resolve the Ghost Call Crisis has been completed.】
【Mission Reward: 00 points of Old White Rabbit Candy Points, six pieces of Old White Rabbit Milk Candy have been credited.】
【Current mission has been completed.】
【New mission has refreshed.】
【Stop Magneto Max Eisenhart from carrying out terrorist activities in Missouri.】
【Mission Reward: 1000 points of Old White Rabbit Milk Candy, twenty-one pieces of Old White Rabbit Milk Candy.】
"Failure Penalty: Erasure."
Bai Luo slightly raised his head and met Bai Chu's astonished gaze. He smiled, feigning an innocent expression of cluelessness, and opened his palm to present the five pieces of Old White Rabbit Milk Candy in front of her, saying, "Do you want some candy?"
At that moment, everything in the restaurant had returned to normal. People began screaming and rushing outside, while the Hunched Woman stepped closer to Bai Luo and Bai Chu, frowning as she asked, "Are you all mutants?"
Bai Luo flashed her a sweet smile. Seizing the moment when she relaxed her guard, he leaped up with lightning speed. Using his height disadvantage and the powerful boost from the Talisman, he swiftly snatched the gun from her hand, disengaged the safety, and pointed it back at her, demanding, "What’s your name? What abilities do you have? Otherwise, I’ll shoot you right now."
Bai Chu clutched the ghostly figure tightly and said, "No, no, no! Killing is illegal."
After a moment of silent eye contact with Bai Luo, the Hunched Woman suddenly transformed. She straightened up, and her face and body underwent an incredible change. In an instant, she looked exactly like Bai Chu.
Bai Luo immediately recognized which mutant she was. He blurted out, "You’re Mystique!"
Mystique narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "You've heard of me? Who are you?"
Bai Luo glanced at her and then at Bai Chu beside him. He sighed inwardly and replied, "I’m a Young Pioneer."
One thing was certain: Bai Chu was neither a time traveler nor some superhero from Marvel; she clearly possessed abilities related to ghostly entities and was evidently a mutant.
A newly awakened mutant who had no idea what mutants were.
Moreover, it was frustrating for Bai Luo that while he had completed his mission, it seemed to be tied to his sister's final decision rather than his own involvement. Was this just his sister enjoying the benefits while he... actually served as a supporting character? Was his ultimate mission in this world to assist Bai Chu in reaching her peak and becoming the strongest mutant who would defeat Thanos and dominate Earth?
However, since this mutant was Mystique, it wasn’t surprising that a new mission from the System had appeared.
"Young Pioneer... what is that?" Mystique looked confused; it was clearly the first time she had heard such a term.
Bai Luo explained, "It’s an organization for young mutants from the East."
Bai Chu exclaimed in surprise, "When did you join this organization for young mutants from the East?"
Bai Chu, despite having an Eastern appearance, was born in the United States and her Chinese was not very good, let alone knowing what a Young Pioneer was.
Bai Luo shot her a glare and said irritably, "If you don't know, then keep your mouth shut."
"Hey, do you believe I can throw this ghost back at you? It seems like she really wants to kill you," Bai Chu retorted.
Bai Luo ignored her completely and stated, "I want to see Magneto."
Mystique, still in Bai Chu's form, frowned and said, "It seems you do have some understanding of the mutant world."
Bai Luoxin replied, "Have I been watching Marvel and X-Men movies all these years for nothing?"
But what came out was, "I need you to find a way to send my sister to Professor's Mutant School."
"Even though it feels like you all have completely ignored me, but..." Bai Chu said, "Is it really okay to make decisions about my fate without consulting me?"
"I am Magneto's subordinate, and yet you want me to run around for you," Mystique replied. "It seems you don't understand the relationship between Charles and Eric."
"Eric..." Bai Luo silently repeated the name. "You're mistaken; I am very clear about their past relationship. Magneto is an extreme rebel among mutants, while Charles holds completely opposite views."
"Then since that's the case..."
Bai Luo interrupted her directly, saying, "And you, Raven Darkholme, don't truly stand on either side, do you?"
Mystique looked at him in shock and said, "It seems you know me well."
"But..." her tone shifted slightly here. "Why should I help you?"
Bai Luo smiled and said, "Because you're neither a bad person nor a good person."
Mystique silently regarded him; in the blood-soaked restaurant, her gaze was unexpectedly calm.
After a moment, Mystique quietly asked, "Is this Young Pioneer organization made up entirely of mutants?"
"Our headquarters is in China," Bai Luo paused and said seriously, "and all of China believes in Magneto Max Eisenhardt."
Bai Chu couldn't help but retort, "That's more like Magneto Max Eisenhardt-ism!"
Of course, what Bai Chu didn't know was that Magneto Max Eisenhardt was also the original name of Magneto.
With books, time feels long; without them, it feels short. They quickly returned from the fast-food restaurant to Bai Luo's home. He asked Mystique to explain to Bai Chu what mutants really are through the System, while he took the lead and began a long conversation with the group of spirits.
Bai Chu was clearly a newly awakened mutant, and her abilities exerted a remarkable pressure on these ghostly beings. As long as they were within a certain range, she could ensure that they would not cause any trouble.
This time, he and this Loli-level female spirit could finally sit down and have an "open and honest" conversation.
