[Sponsored] Chapter 126: Rescuing the Twins

[This Chapter Is Sponsored by Loc Le! Everyone, please thank him in the comment!]

Perhaps due to a newfound trust, the terrifying energy within Wanda that threatened to spiral out of control settled down.

The violent tremors within the base ceased immediately.

However, at the same time, the soldiers outside Prison No. 1, fully armed, had already rushed to the scene, their dense array of gun barrels pointed at the iron bars within which Bi Xiao stood.

One of the soldiers was about to shout.

However, a vast and mighty mental force swept through the entire base, controlling the thoughts of all the soldiers, researchers, and high-ranking officials, freezing them in place.

Apart from a boy in another cell, everyone in the base was plunged into a deathly silence.

Ignoring the people in the base, Bi Xiao crouched down and extended his hand in front of the girl: "Do you want to leave this place?"

"I will take you away."

"Can we take Pietro with us?"

"Your brother?"

"Yes."

"Of course."

Receiving a positive response, Wanda looked at Bi Xiao, whose gentle and sincere eyes broke through her inner defenses. Tentatively, she extended her somewhat young and pale hand, placing it in Bi Xiao's hand.

The moment they made contact, the girl seemed uncomfortable, subconsciously trembling and wanting to withdraw her hand. But when she noticed that Bi Xiao still had his hand there, looking at her gently, she did not move further.

Bi Xiao smiled, holding the girl's hand, pulled her up, and turned to walk towards the gate of the cage.

At this moment, Wanda noticed the dense crowd and dark gun barrels outside the gate. Her big eyes were full of tension as she looked up at Bi Xiao.

Bi Xiao completely ignored these people and walked straight past. As he approached, the iron gate, controlled by an invisible force, opened automatically. He walked out of the cell, along the corridor towards the outside. The soldiers remained frozen in place, unable to move, watching helplessly as he led Wanda away.

Seeing this scene, Wanda was somewhat puzzled.

In her impression, these soldiers were all vicious. As a test subject, any slight abnormal behavior would result in them ruthlessly hitting her with iron rods.

She had seen many fellow test subjects beaten until their heads bled.

Now, however, they stood motionless like puppets, making Wanda curious about how this big brother managed to do it. Did he also possess some powerful force?

Wanda believed Bi Xiao was not from the base. It was an indescribable intuition.

What she felt was kindness, like the warmth and light of the sun, bringing her a sense of security.

Even though it was their first meeting.

Bi Xiao walked unimpeded, and despite the seemingly strict position of the metal doors along the way, they either opened automatically or were forcefully torn open with telekinesis.

Wanda's eyes widened in amazement as she watched.

She couldn't help but keep stealing glances at Bi Xiao. To Wanda, who lost her parents early and wandered alone, she did not fear those with extraordinary power and destructive ability. On the contrary, such a person who could show her a little kindness would make her feel close and safe.

What she needed was a sense of security.

Soon, they arrived at the cell holding Wanda's twin brother Pietro. Inside was a handsome young boy with black hair, thin and pale, not just from malnutrition but also because a lot of his blood had been drawn.

Easily, Bi Xiao opened the iron gate, reuniting the twins.

"Are you an angel? A demon? Or a mutant?"

Pietro, though older, was currently shorter than Wanda. Looking up at Bi Xiao, he couldn't help but ask cautiously and curiously.

"No, I am a hunter."

"Cool~~"

This answer made Pietro feel it was cool. At fourteen, the boy loved to fantasize. He had often dreamed of becoming a superhero to save himself and Wanda, though it had not become reality.

But now, the superhero he had dreamed of appeared before him.

"Are you taking us to another base?"

Pietro continued to ask.

"No, actually, you don't need to participate in any experiments. You inherently possess powers that ordinary people do not. Perhaps in the future, I will need your help, so let's make a deal..."

"You take us in, and we help you kill people in the future?"

Pietro was smart.

But Bi Xiao shook his head: "I don't need you to help me kill people. I need you to become strong enough to assist me in killing some very powerful monsters."

In fact, the twins had great potential. There was no need to mention Wanda, whose innate talent was among the best, surpassing even the Ancient One's belief in the most talented sorcerer, Strange.

In terms of talent, Wanda's was unmatched.

In one dimension, Wanda even became the Supreme Sorcerer, her power so immense it was hard to believe.

Her growth potential, once cultivated, could offer unimaginable help.

Although soloing instances seemed cool, in reality, if he could team up, why go solo, especially when the teammates wouldn't share his life essence?

He hadn't sought help before because he was sufficient on his own. In the future, however, the prey would become increasingly powerful and numerous.

Including the Hell and Heaven instances, he might need qualified partners.

Wanda was one of them.

As for Pietro, his potential was also significant. His ability was not just about high-speed movement; he had a super brain capable of instantly memorizing and learning knowledge at a speed far surpassing ordinary people.

He was quite worth cultivating.

Moreover, he feared that Wanda might lose control and go dark in the future. History had already changed, and Wanda had once gone berserk due to some stimulus, attracting much attention and easily falling into the hands of entities like Dormammu or demon lords.
