Chapter 184 67. The world of assassins in Mason’s eyes
"I have entered the building database. You guessed it right, Mason. There are many people who are proficient in stealth and stealth patrolling around here disguised as company security guards.
They were obviously preparing for possible intrusions and infiltrations. ”
Er Ke's voice came from the team's communication. This pioneer warrior and assassin jointly trained by Batman and the Assassin's League said in an uncertain tone:
"From what I have seen, the action patterns of these guys are by no means mediocre even among the senior assassins in Nandarbat. It is hard to imagine that here they are actually being used as front-line cannon fodder in a branch of a disguised company.
I'm starting to trust your judgment.
This world seems to deliberately disguise itself in front of us. They do it very naturally. If I hadn't been trained by the master of concealment and disguise, I would definitely be deceived by them. ”
"So be careful, Jason."
On the roof of the building two blocks away from Abstergo's building in Manhattan, Mason held a futuristic smart telescope that could see through walls and stared at the target area. He whispered to Ergong:
"Exit immediately after installing the data interface. I have reason to believe that there should be a master assassin in that building, and maybe a 'saint'.
The last time Old K and his team were wiped out here was because they were ambushed by the Assassin Saint. ”
"Saint? What kind of strange title is this?"
Barbara next to Mason was ready to remotely invade the database. Her left eye kept shining with light, and she asked in a low voice:
"Is it a unique power system in this world?"
"Almost."
Mason’s nonsensical explanation:
"According to the notes left by Old K, all the power in this world can be traced back to the ancient civilization Isu, which was a super civilization from among the stars that colonized or researched the earth in ancient times.
They are not gods, in fact their life forms are quite weak.
They are far inferior to humans like us in terms of physique, endurance, strength and even fecundity.
However, a series of remaining records of this world show that the Isu people have learning and creative abilities that we cannot imagine, and their senses are also so sharp that they are almost divine.
They once established a quite prosperous "Forerunner Era" on the earth, but it disappeared in a disaster.
However, they made a lot of preparations for that disaster, including large-scale genetic modification of the ancient humans who were in the ascendant at the time to continue their existence.
So to be precise, although the humans in this world look the same as us, they are not the same race as us.
In this era, there is still Isu bloodline circulating, and the owners of those ancient bloodlines often possess strange powers similar to 'superpowers'.
The assassins in this world will give them different names according to the concentration of their Isu blood."
"Insert the data interface! Start cracking."
The sound of two barrels sounded, interrupting Mason's description.
Barbara immediately executed the rapid intrusion protocol. When Ertun left Abstergo's database room wearing an invisibility cloak, she had easily obtained the data permissions and began to search for the information that Team K needed in the opponent's database.
There is no need for Mason to describe the power system of this world under the guise of the "Old K's Notes" that never existed.
The aperture of Barbara's left eye danced, and she read out the information she had searched from Abstergo's deep database:
"According to Abstergo's information collection since its establishment after World War II and the verification of large-scale human test results, the concentration of Isu blood in the bodies of ordinary people in this world is generally around 0.002% to 0.005%, and it is not possible to explore the potential.
The probability that a super-potential individual may be born per 100,000 people is about 0.03%, and the Isu blood concentration standard for such super-potential individuals is above 0.5%.
Its most basic feature is the triple helix DNA structure that is different from ordinary people, which is the most obvious sign of Isu mixed blood.
This kind of super-potential individual can awaken various 'ancient powers' with only simple training.
Its most basic abilities include the 'Eagle Eye' with mutated eyes, motor nerves and dynamic perception that are ten times more developed than ordinary people, super tough vitality and self-healing ability, extremely effective prediction of danger, and innate use of weapons. etc.
This kind of super-potential individual is given the code name "Master". ”
Bat Girl paused and continued to dig deeper for information before searching for the "saint" entry that Mason had just mentioned. She repeated with a sense of surprise:
"The so-called 'saints' super beings have an Isu blood concentration of more than 5% when they are born. They generally show certain traits that are far beyond ordinary people when they are children, and generally have personality charms that are difficult to explain scientifically. '.
The probability of being born in the world of ordinary people is 0.04% per 10 million people. According to Abstergo's statistics, in the past two thousand years, a 'saint' was born on average every 70-150 years.
Without exception, they are all heroes and phoenixes who dominated an era. Famous representatives include Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, King Arthur, Joan of Arc, Napoleon, Mustache and
Oh my God!
The history of this world for the past two thousand years has been written and presided over by this kind of "saint", and the truth behind the appearance of these histories is the confrontation between two forces.
The main theme of its history revolves around the spiral development of two camps with powerful armed forces: "order" and "freedom".
Mason, I think I can now understand where your concerns and tensions stem from. ”
Barbara raised her head and said with a sense of surprise:
"This world just looks very similar to other worlds, but the power inheritance hidden within it is far beyond our understanding."
"That's what I'm worried about."
Mason narrowed his eyes and said:
"This secret confrontation that has lasted for more than two thousand years has made this world 'rich in martial virtue' and equipped with superb fighting wisdom, but now a third party, the 'Gathering of Stars', has appeared in the confrontation between the two sides.
I can tell with my toes how unwelcome "outsiders" like us are in this world.
Whether it is the liberal Assassin Brotherhood or the Order Templars, we who represent "chaos" are 'heretics' that need to be killed immediately.
I now have enough reasons to believe that the originally opposing sides of this world have united under the guidance of some higher power to lay a dangerous trap for us unpopular guys. ”
"A higher power?"
Er Tong, who had been listening to the conversation between Mason and Barbara, asked in surprise:
"Based on the information unearthed by Barbara, the Assassin Saint with a blood concentration of 5% sounds the same as a super human. If there is a higher power, it is not directly traceable to those mysterious Iraqis. On the person?
Barbara, is there any similar information described in the database? ”
"Not found yet."
The blue aperture in the bat girl's left eye pupil danced.
She searched Abstergo's database and found no relevant information, but she believed that Mason would not joke about such a thing.
Mason shook his head and explained:
"If the Isu people in this world can be called gods, then the combination of them and humans can create 'demigods' like those in other myths and legends.
Such as Perseus, Hercules or the Wonder Woman Diana of our world.
The characteristics of hybrids will not weaken their strength, but will give them the dual advantages of humans and gods. The Isu people used genetic technology to upgrade their bodies to superhuman levels, coupled with the Isu people's unique super senses and super learning. and creativity.
A long enough life allows them to fully exploit their own advantages. This also includes the various Isu black technology equipment left by the Forerunner civilization, which gives them the ability to manipulate space and even time.
I have enough reasons to believe that such an 'Isu demigod' will never be less destructive than Diana Prince.
Even close to Clark Kent in normal form.
There are definitely not too many such 'demigods', but even one or two are enough to easily kill all the pioneers currently existing in this world.
According to the Star Council's rating of world power, once such an individual appears who can single-handedly destroy civilization, the world's rating should be raised to 'A level'. ”
Mason sighed.
He knew that this so-called simple task was definitely not that simple. Looking at the dark night in front of him that was becoming more and more dead in his perception, he said:
"There is no doubt that this world is disguising itself in the eyes of the Star Council. Barbara, search for the keyword 'Atlantis' in the Abstergo database!"
"No information."
Barbara replied after a second:
"There are only some folklore about Atlantis, but I found a secret operations plan called 'Odyssey' within Abstergo Corporation.
Its goal is to search for the existence of the city of Atlantis.
But the building is not its headquarters, and its internal database does not store specific information about such a high-level operation. ”
"As expected, the second barrel was withdrawn at a faster pace."
Mason warned and then said to Barbara:
"Search keywords 'Kassandra' and 'Alexios' and 'New York Underground Temple'."
"Except for some folklore popular in the Mediterranean region, there is no effective information. There is a few words about the 'Great Temple', but unlocking its encrypted information according to the data path requires a higher-level key.
This branch database cannot provide this kind of permission at all. Forcibly hacking into a higher-level data link will definitely expose our whereabouts. ”
Barbara gave another disappointing answer.
But Mason's expression remained unchanged. He rubbed his forehead and recalled it, and said to Bat Girl:
"Search for the keyword 'Phoenix Project'."
"Wait a moment."
Batgirl searched the database again for the information Mason gave, and this time she should have gained something by being silent for a little longer.
After a few seconds, she looked up and said:
"Yes! Although we still haven't gotten the specific plan information, the Phoenix Project laboratory closest to us is in an underground area on the outskirts of the city."
"Very well, let's go there, the sooner the better."
Mason gestured for Barbara to disconnect and said:
"There should be Abstergo's deep database there, where we can find all the information we need."
"I don't understand, Mason."
While disconnecting and burning the data interface of the second barrel left at the Abstergo branch, Barbara rubbed her slightly hot forehead and asked:
"Why do you care so much about this information?"
"If our main mission unfortunately fails, we should at least bring something back with us that can make the stars shut up, right?"
Mason breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"The information we have collected so far is enough to prove the danger of this world, and at the same time it can make up for the terrible hidden dangers caused by the intelligence errors of the Association of Stars.
In this way, no matter how harsh Mr. Hunter is, he cannot accuse us of not completing our mission.
In addition, I am personally very interested in the inheritance of the Isu people. This ancient civilization is fundamentally different from other gods we have heard of.
They are weak but really good at making things.
If a person like me who is committed to becoming a good craftsman can be lucky enough to get the technology they left behind.
Well, I guess this will have to wait until we become more powerful in the future. Right now, with our strength, we still have to keep our tail between our legs in this world. ”
The captain shrugged regretfully.
A few minutes later, Erbong returned to the hiding place. The three of them "borrowed" a car on the roadside and headed towards the direction of the Phoenix Project laboratory that Barbara had found.
As Erbong drove, Mason observed the surroundings from the passenger seat, while Barbara in the back seat closed her eyes and analyzed a series of data she had just downloaded and copied.
After a few minutes, she said:
"This 'Phoenix Project' is a long-term human experiment project carried out by Abstergo Corporation for nearly seventy years. Their purpose is to artificially produce high-concentration Isu hybrid blood.
What a crazy move.
From the information I have seen so far, the number of experimental subjects consumed in North America in the past seventy years alone has reached nearly 50,000. It is simply a waste of human life! ”
"If I were you, Barbara, I wouldn't be worried about how many people they killed in the past."
Ergong, who was driving, reminded in a low tone:
"Just two saints can annihilate Old K's team and allow a senior pioneer like Old K to escape in embarrassment. It would be fine if the Phoenix Plan fails, but what if it succeeds?
What if the assassins in this world could mass-produce that kind of killing machine? God knows how many artificial saints are hidden in this city waiting to kill us? ”
"Don't scare yourself, Jason."
Mason shook his head and said:
"Even if they succeed, they will only be able to produce master-level Isu hybrids in batches at most. 5% Isu blood concentration is enough to change life forms.
It can't be made by just finding a few test subjects. If they really have that kind of strength, they don't need to play this kind of 'hide and seek' game with the Stars.
But we still have to be prepared. ”
He said:
"In my estimation, once we find the information we need, an alarm will be triggered. Even if we can delay entering the New York Underground Temple to unlock the golden apple, it will definitely trigger a hard battle.
There is definitely not much time left for us, just get the information and leave.
It's best if you can enter the Great Temple to unlock the golden apple information. If you really can't, find Zha Kang and get out of here immediately. ”
"Yeah."
Jason and Barbara nodded. Both of them understood the operational risks that Team K was taking at this time. With the current communication being monitored, they had no way to contact the "safe zone" that was not safe at all. "Constantine in.
I wonder what that guy is doing now?
Hopefully he will be aware of the danger this time as before and be smarter about how to deal with it.
——
While the three Masons are going to risk their lives, what is Zha Kang doing?
The answer is simple.
He is also risking his life.
After applying the most advanced invisibility magic that he can currently use to himself, Constantine made a guest appearance as a "Batboy" tonight. He used a flying claw gun to fix it on the edge of the roof of the Continental Hotel, making himself invisible in the night. Little by little, we approach the top floor from the outside.
He was very curious about what was hidden on the top floor of the Continental Hotel.
As he got closer, an irresistible force that interfered with the soul vibrated at Constantine's spiritual level, like an invisible source of waves that could assimilate and change the mental state of any living body that was close to it.
In other words, Zha Kang is proficient in all kinds of black magic, and he is also a walking "curse complex", which makes his mental resistance far beyond that of ordinary people to allow him to persist until he climbs to the window on the top floor.
But despite this, Zha Kang was still out of breath and covered in cold sweat when he arrived at his destination.
He now feels that his current actions are a bit risky.
But it was too late to regret. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and stuck his head out to apply a penetrating magic on himself and looked towards the top floor, wanting to see what the evil thing was here.
Then, he saw a round golden gadget floating on a rather unique golden pedestal on the table in the center of the empty room that was sealed on all sides.
"Huh?"
Constantine's eyes widened.
He felt that this thing looked really familiar, he had definitely seen it somewhere!
"Isn't this the thing in Mason's hand? This thing can actually transform the spirit on such a large scale? But why doesn't the golden apple in Mason's hand have this ability?
etc!
If this thing can change the mind, is it possible that it is not that Old K was lucky enough to take the golden apple out, but that the golden apple needs someone to take it out of the world?
If the golden apple in Mason's hand is a bait deliberately sent out of the world, then K-Team
That's the fish that took the bait!
grass! "(End of Chapter)
