Chapter 138 21. I have learned how Batman operates, even if my identity is exposed, it is not a big deal [110]
(Additional update for ‘Prisoner on the Throne’ brothers)
Drunk Harley Quinn is really rowdy.
Especially when Mason brought her a bowl of steaming longevity noodles with eggs, her screams and cries made people want to shoot her twice.
But Mason wasn't the only one in trouble tonight.
While he was celebrating his patient's "birthday", Ms. Selina, who had just returned from Wayne Manor, was also blocked at the door by an "uninvited guest."
"Where have you been these days?"
The little assassin in pajamas held his arms and blocked the way to the inside of the manor. Damian Wayne stared expressionlessly at Catwoman getting off the Batmobile in front of him.
This unpleasant boy has cold eyes, and at first glance he is a murderer without batting an eyelid.
Although he was wearing the star pajamas that Ah Fu had chosen for him, Catwoman was certain that there must be one or several dangerous things like daggers hidden somewhere on this kid's body.
"Oh, do I need to report to you where I went?"
Selena, who had just enjoyed a pleasant dinner with her "best friends" and discussed 18th-century skin care methods with Lady Elizabeth, was in a good mood.
While taking off her red goggles, she said to the boy in front of her:
"I don't think there is a special relationship between us. After all, you little bastard doesn't even want to call me 'Mom'."
"Did you go hang out with that guy named Mason?"
Damian was not angry either, but still said in an indifferent tone:
"It seems that you prefer those young freshmen to old men like Bruce Wayne? I really feel sorry for that sad old guy. It seems that he can't satisfy you.
In every way. ”
"Shut up! You little bastard who talks nonsense."
Selena's eyes widened, she pointed in the direction of the manor with her hands on her hips and yelled at Damian:
"Now! Go back to your room! It's time for you to sleep. Children your age won't grow taller if they don't sleep well. You don't want to maintain such a short height your whole life, right?"
Although the relationship between the "mother and son" is very bad, after all, they have been together for a while before, and Selina has keenly grasped some of Damian's "taboos".
Such as height
Sure enough, when she said this, Master Wayne, who had been expressionless just now, immediately became gnashing his teeth. He has received special training from the King of Assassins since he was a child, and has an obsessive-compulsive mother who strives for perfection in everything, giving him a maturity far beyond his peers.
But no matter how mature he is, he is only a twelve-year-old soul.
There is always some childish entanglement and persistence.
Seeing Catwoman's proud look, Damian gritted his teeth and no longer gave in, but lowered his voice and said:
"You are in the same group! You come from the same place as those guys who deceived grandpa and mother! Don't think I don't know. The magic on your arm can hide your tattoo, but it can't be hidden from my eyes.
< br>
Selina Kyle!
I knew who you were when I met you. ”
"Huh?"
The adopted son's words made Catwoman immediately narrow her eyes.
She looked around, and Damian sneered and spread his hands. There were several removed bat bugs in his hands.
Says:
"Don't be afraid, I have destroyed all the nearby bugs. I added sleeping pills to Ah Fu's tea. He will sleep soundly now. As for that man.
He left two days ago!
Mysterious, I don’t know where he went, but I guess he was discussing some unseen matters with his geek friends in that extraterrestrial watchtower.
Don't worry, Selina, our conversation will not be leaked. ”
"You, a twelve-year-old little boy, really impress me."
Catwoman said sullenly:
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"I want to meet Mason Cooper."
Damian was not polite and said while playing with the bat bug in his hand:
"When those bastards came into contact with the League of Assassins, my mother always wanted that pretentious Mr. Sandstorm to take me away from this world.
But I don't like that hypocritical bastard.
But I am very interested in your organization, Selina. I want to know what exactly you are doing? Is Mason an outsider? Is he an alien like that Kryptonian freak?
I became more and more interested in him and I had many questions to ask him.
If possible
I am even willing to become one of you to get rid of that strange and boring man who always wants to be my father. After all, with your amateur level, you really need a powerful character to lead you to be strong.
I'm happy to recommend myself. ”
"No!"
Catwoman refused:
"That's not the place for a child like you. Our things are not as fun or cool as you think. Just stay in the manor.
Don't go anywhere! ”
"Do you think this manor can contain me?"
Damian sneered and said:
"What's more, you still have something in my hands. Mr. Catwoman, I advise you to think carefully when you speak. You don't want your secret to be discovered by your lover, right?"
"嘁"
Selena folded her arms and sneered, saying:
"If even you had discovered it, Bruce, who has been with me day and night, must have known about it already. He also has a female friend who plays magic with us since childhood.
Well, your appearance was a surprise.
It made me notice something that I have been ignoring. Thank you for reminding me, Damian. My companions and I may have to prepare a plan in advance.
Now!
Go back to sleep! Otherwise, the vicious stepmother will beat you! ”
"Don't even think about it!"
Damian, furious, swooped towards the exit of Wayne Manor.
Catwoman didn't stop him at all, she just folded her arms and watched the fun.
As the young Assassin approached the exit of the manor, he triggered certain "obstacles" set up for him by his terrifying father.
The stun gun hidden under the turf was activated. After Damian dodged three shots in a row, he was finally hit and he fell to the ground unwillingly.
Part of his former strength came from the Lazarus Pool. After the dark power was dispelled by Mason's potion, Damian became weak or "normal".
Selina stepped forward with graceful steps, lifted up her adopted son who was lying there in paralysis and gnashing his teeth, and patted the grass clippings and dust on his body.
Say softly:
"I know it's hard for you to understand why Bruce locked you up in the manor, but this is indeed his way of showing concern. The man has always been slow and stubborn in this regard.
The pain from those stun guns hitting you actually comes from your father’s deep love.
You should learn to accept it instead of continuing to resist, Damian. You and I both know that sooner or later, you will be willing to call him 'Dad'.
One day, you will also call me ‘mom’ with respect. ”
"I won't!"
Damian struggled to escape from this place called "home". It was obvious that the child had reached the limit of his endurance after being locked up here for so long.
But Catwoman doesn't have time to give psychological counseling classes to her misbehaving children.
She pulled out a sedative and stuck it on the struggling Damian's arm, causing him to fall asleep quickly.
While taking Damian to the manor, Catwoman took out a communicator "kindly sponsored" by future technology engineer Judy.
She said to the other end:
"Mason, bad news, we may have been exposed."
——
"Oh, it's exposed."
In the basement of Cooper's shop, Mason, who had just finished processing the materials for the elixir, put down the ultra-precision communicator in his hand with some gloom.
Although Selina used a very conservative "maybe", Mason was basically certain that the secret of Team K had been exposed to the master's sight.
Everything related to Batman must always be considered from the worst perspective and prepared for the worst.
But Mason was not very disappointed.
After all, from the moment he was forced to join the Society of Stars, he knew that it was only a matter of time before his identity was exposed, and he had been preparing for it.
Since there hasn't yet been a big Kansas man wearing underwear blasting through the wall of his cabin and incinerating himself to ashes with a heat ray, that means things are still looking up.
The fact that the master knew about the existence of Team K but did not confront Mason speaks for itself.
Maybe Batman has other thoughts and plans?
Or maybe he didn't share this matter with the Justice League at all, and he didn't even rule out the possibility that the master was actually helping Mason hide their secret identities.
This possibility is very small.
But it's not impossible given Batman's unpredictable behavior.
"Perhaps this means that I have won some of the master's trust?"
While Mason methodically processed the materials at hand using enchanting skills, he placed a refining formation on the table.
He thought:
"Or are you waiting for me and others to 'surrender' for Selina's sake? Damian said that Batman is not in Gotham these days and may have gone to the watchtower. The Justice League is dealing with the mystery again. What’s the big deal?”
Thinking of this, Mason stopped and took out the hourglass that Mr. Hunter had given him before from his bag.
This thing is still dripping quicksand at a fixed speed, as if time is passing by minute by second, and the less and less gravel means that the time for an important event is approaching.
The young man narrowed his eyes.
He placed the hourglass on his alchemy table.
Although there was no evidence, he instinctively felt that the "impact" event Mr. Hunter mentioned and the major event being prepared by the Justice League should be the same.
So, will the upcoming "shock" also affect our own world?
But that's a good thing!
Mason also thought that if the time for the big event was getting closer, at least for now, he wouldn't have to worry about the Justice League coming.
At the same time, a sense of urgency arose in the hearts of the young people.
He felt that he must immediately prepare for what might happen in the future. When he thought of this, Mason immediately sped up.
He threw the processed materials into Hufflepuff's alchemical Holy Grail, burned and heated it with magic fire around the Holy Grail, and then continued to stir and add the subsequent materials with flowing movements.
With this Alchemical Holy Grail, Mason can almost abandon the bulky crucible and the space-consuming distillation tube.
He didn't even need to deliberately pay attention to certain details in the whole process. This golden cup, which was once used by the legendary wizard for alchemy, was enchanted with a unique magic that made it perfectly suitable for the production process of all potions.
The best part is that you don't have to take out the potions right away after making them, letting them sit in the Holy Grail for a few days will allow them to be refined to epic quality.
This thing is definitely the holy object that all alchemists desire.
And the best part is, this epic-quality potion also counts towards Mason’s skill proficiency bonus! In other words, with this thing, Mason no longer has to use quantity to upgrade branch skills.
He can really focus on improving the quality of the potion, and then he only needs to wait patiently to see his alchemy proficiency increase rapidly.
Just like a fully automatic alchemy "script" plug-in.
And when it comes to quantity
"唰"
The refining array on the table was activated, and more than a dozen bottles of the Demon Hunter's thunder potion appeared in Mason's hands as the raw materials were consumed. These were made for Ergong. His physical fitness could already drink these things and resist the toxins. .
Of course, white honey for detoxification is also needed.
After an hour of busy work, Mason, who was both quality and quantity, dropped an alchemy stone into a Hufflepuff gold cup filled with a pot of viscous potion, then sealed it and put it in his bag.
He told Poison Ivy to take care of Harley, then left the shop and rushed all the way to the dock in Port Miller, and then entered the Forbidden Forest Wizard Tower in the world of Hogwarts through the World Gate.
Zha Kang was trying the Neon Wizard's evil ghost summoning. When Mason came to the mage tower, he saw a scene of "demons dancing wildly".
Some ghosts he knew or didn't know were howling and flying around, and the most outrageous one was a snow maiden monster who looked like an ice sculpture, making ice-cold sparkling water for Zha Kang.
"Hey, Mason, come here and see my new magic!"
The black magician excitedly summoned Mason to watch him perform tricks, but when Mason approached, Zha Kang suddenly blinked, stretched out his hand and said to him:
"Stop! Just stand there! Don't move."
"Huh?"
The young man raised his eyebrows.
Then he saw Zha Kang grabbing a handful of golden powder and throwing it forward. The powder circled around him for a few times and then dispersed a weird, almost imperceptible aura.
And Constantine stepped forward, held something in his hand, put it under his nostrils and smelled it.
He frowned and said:
"You are being followed! This method is very similar to the mark used by demons when hunting. It will not trigger the warning of my Hell Eye. But it does leave a signal for the operator to track. .
Did you meet Brad again? ”
"No."
Mason pushed the hat on his head. With the Sorting Hat around, even the Demon Knight couldn't quietly cast some kind of tracking spell on him.
Since the silent Sorting Hat didn't remind him, it meant that Mason had no contact with the demon knight wandering in Gotham.
"Then someone around you must be being tracked!"
Zha Kang waved his hand to disperse the breath and said firmly:
"You have been in contact with that unlucky guy, so you have also been infected with a trace of demonic aura. Damn it! Why is this damn Brad still lingering?
Didn't it mean that his private tracking was stopped by Batman? ”
"That was an ancient man with a demon inside him, John."
Mason rubbed his forehead and said:
"I think it's rare that he follows the rules. It seems our Captain Jack has been the prey of a demon in the past three days, which is really bad.
Get ready for action.
We can't let that demon knight continue to investigate like this.
He's almost digging up our roots!
And I have bad news. Batman may have discovered the secret of the K-Team. Looking at the worst-case scenario, we may have to fight the Justice League soon.
Are you confident? John. ”
"Haha, I will sell you without hesitation, Mason! When Superman and Batman appear in front of me together, I will definitely blame all the bad things on you.
This is indeed the case.
I am a villain but I am really implicated by you this time! ”
Constantine curled his lips, reached out to take the sparkling water with ice from the Snow Girl Monster, took a gulp of the glass, and exhaled happily.
He looked at Mason and said:
"But you can still say these scary words so calmly. It seems that you are already prepared, so don't tantalize me. Let me see your cards that can calmly face the Justice League. < br>
I'm guessing, something you got from the Batcave? ”
"Well, it still lacks a heart, and I know where I can give it a heart that is not so suitable but at least sufficient."
Mason smiled, glanced in the direction of the ruins of Hogwarts, snapped his fingers and said:
"Have your pirate servants bring their demolition tools and follow me, John."
"We are very busy tonight." (End of Chapter)
