Chapter Thirty: Trouble, Seek S.H.I.E.L.D.
The amnesiac Sadako was surprisingly patient at this moment. She was a beautiful girl with long black hair, her personality slightly aloof. She reiterated her plan, and this time Mizumura Memeko understood, saying, "So... are we going to Japan?"
This question was clearly directed at Bai Luo.
In truth, Bai Luo didn't believe that these two Vengeful Spirits from another dimension could find their "past" in Japan. However, after thinking for a moment, he replied, "Sure, if you really want to go to Japan to search for your experiences, then let's go. But before that, I have a few things to take care of."
As soon as Bai Luo finished speaking, the System's prompt chimed in response.
[Mission Updated.]
[Mission Objective: Assist Mizumura Memeko and Shan Village Sadako in searching for their memories in Japan.]
[Mission Reward: 1000 Old White Rabbit Candy Points, fourteen pieces of Old White Rabbit Milk Candy.]
[Failure Penalty: Erasure.]
Bai Luo couldn't help but smirk; the System's mission felt oddly considerate, as if it were handing him points for no reason.
However, the intelligence of the System seemed limited to this. After all, this was the world of Marvel Comics. Bai Luo felt that the chances of these two Vengeful Spirits recovering their memories in this world were slim, and there was no time limit on the mission.
Nevertheless, Bai Luo did plan to make a trip to Japan. He could personally tell Sadako and Mizumura Memeko about their experiences, but some matters could only be confirmed by actually visiting and investigating.
Since the main plot of Marvel had not yet begun in this era, Bai Luo wanted to keep Sadako and Mizumura Memeko—two powerful Vengeful Spirits—by his side. This trip was necessary.
Moreover, without the ability to draw talismans on his body, there would always be times when he lacked Talisman support. The two Vengeful Spirits residing within him were his strongest allies during these gaps, as demonstrated during his encounter with the Forgiving Color Reincarnator.
But he indeed had a few things to handle first.
Bai Luo stood on the city street and slightly turned his head toward Kansas. The Planet Daily he saw at Elena's house had clarified many things for him. To be honest, he wanted to visit Kansas and see the Superman growing up in Sunshine Cornfield—he should be quite young by now.
Unfortunately, Bai Luo had no idea where Superman lived; Kansas was too vast for him to search alone.
However, right now, he needed to find Logan.
Bai Luo remembered how he had dragged Logan into the battlefield yesterday. After all, Logan had joined the fight for his sake, and he hadn't abandoned Bai Luo right away to run off. Just based on that, Bai Luo felt a bit guilty about using him and then disappearing without a word.
However, despite wandering aimlessly around the city and even sending Mizumura Memeko out to search for Logan, he still couldn't find the Wolverine.
Instead of finding Wolverine, another mutant came looking for him.
It was Qin Grey, who also possessed psychic abilities. Finding Bai Luo was not difficult for her.
She came to extend an invitation: "Charles hopes you can come to his school."
Bai Luo shrugged and replied, "You should know I'm not a mutant."
"I understand," Qin said. "But Charles wants you to have a peaceful childhood. His school is free from disturbances, and your sister arrived yesterday."
Only then did Bai Luo show a hint of other emotions: "Is she... okay?"
"She's very talented, but..." Qin chuckled. "She's been cursing up a storm, wanting to know where you are."
Bai Luo couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Bai Chu was his only family in this world, perhaps the only connection he had to it.
Bai Luo said, "As long as she is a mutant, I will always stand by the side of mutants."
Qin found it somewhat amusing to hear such serious words from someone as young as Bai Luo.
But Bai Luo had no intention of staying any longer. He turned to leave; having not found Logan or triggered any new missions, he planned to exit the city.
After the Kansas City Incident, security forces throughout the city had greatly increased. At the same time, people on Earth began to realize the existence of another type of individual aside from mutants. They didn't quite understand what a Reincarnator was; they only knew that in this world, besides mutants, there were others with powers beyond ordinary people that could pose a threat at any moment.
Bai Luo intended to take this opportunity to visit Japan, temporarily laying low and adding an air of mystery around himself.
As a superhero...
Bai Luo's identification documents were stored in his Talisman, but being such a young kid made it somewhat problematic for him to travel abroad. So after dramatically ditching Nick Fury, he quickly sought him out again.
Nick Fury was surprised by his desire to go to Japan but didn't make much of it. At that moment, he didn't feel any immense pressure from outside the world nor did he have a strong desire to establish an organization for superheroes. Therefore, he genuinely wanted to give Bai Luo some time to think about whether he was willing to serve S.H.I.E.L.D. He also refrained from mentioning anything about the Cosmic Cube or Captain America. Sending Bai Luo abroad would be easy for Nick Fury; he just needed to give a few instructions to make it happen.
Bai Luo was quite straightforward. Since he was back, he might as well extort some money. He said directly, "I need money. Look, I went to Japan, and I need some activity funds, right? If I end up working for S.H.I.E.L.D. in the future, it wouldn't be good to starve to death now—just a little, around a hundred thousand dollars will do."
Nick Fury had a black line across his forehead.
Though he was speechless, Nick Fury was still quite generous. Bai Luo really received a whole box of money. The boarding process went smoothly; he didn't take any special channels but boarded a regular passenger plane along with a large group of travelers heading to Japan or returning home.
The plane was a large Boeing aircraft, fully loaded with five hundred people.
Once on the plane, Shan Village Sadako was extremely silent, while Mizumura Memeko surprisingly seemed very excited. Before takeoff, Mizumura Memeko was making calls all over the plane. Upon discovering this, Bai Luo quickly stopped the little girl, breaking out in a cold sweat; if something happened to the plane, he would be the first victim.
As a child traveling alone on the plane, Bai Luo attracted quite a bit of attention. A beautiful long-legged flight attendant came over to chat with him, and to her, this kid was simply too cute; teasing him was just too much fun.
Bai Luo appeared quite innocent as he blinked his eyes and said earnestly, "Big sister, your chest is so big and white! It's even bigger and whiter than my sister's."
