Chapter 197 80. You are the fat pigeon we released [215]
(Additional update for brother ‘Captain Autism’!)
"Run!"
There was deathly silence in the great temple until Miss Swordsman shouted and everyone was awakened.
As expected of one of the three great mentors, he moved very quickly even when he was seriously injured. He grabbed Barbara's right hand with his left hand and wanted to hold Mason, but a golden light shot from above and forced her to hold on to the second barrel. On his shoulders, he disappeared into the great temple with the two guys in a flash.
Zha Kang hurriedly activated the teleportation rune he had left outside the temple.
The dark wizard wanted to take Mason away with some loyalty, but the same weird bounce of the golden light made him almost unable to run away, and he could only disappear in place unwillingly.
Mason could clearly feel the demigod of this world appearing above him locking onto him.
He didn't dare to act rashly, but the good news was that Mason would have "strong reinforcements".
Phoenix Fox, who was grilling viral meat skewers, saw the mysterious man appearing above him throwing a weapon at Mason, and screamed and flew up to fight with her.
It doesn't really like Mason either.
But who asked this guy to bring him out of the doomsday world and gave it the sweet flame for Nirvana and rebirth? It established a certain connection with Mason, so it couldn't allow Mason to die here.
The disruption of the legendary creature gave the locked captain a chance to breathe.
Taking advantage of the bright fire above his head, he rushed to Mr. Hunter's side, grabbed her wrist and helped her injured up.
Under the current situation, the guy disguised as a man did not pretend to say that he didn't like being touched. Seeing that Team K was still there and Wesker seemed to be dying, she was relieved.
"Hurry up!"
She said something hoarsely, and then looked up at the local demigods who were coming and going with Phoenix in the heavy rain in the broken temple above her head. She waved her hand and opened a crack with silver light splashing in front of her, then walked into it with Mason and disappeared. this.
But they didn't get very far.
Amidst the increasingly violent coughing, a silver light suddenly appeared somewhere outside the wilderness, allowing Mason and the hunter to appear in the middle of the heavy rain at night.
Mason glanced at the sky.
The rain curtain that had weakened just now became more noisy now, as if to reflect his bad situation at this time.
He glanced at his boss who was coughing violently, pursed his lips, grabbed her waist and picked her up, quickly rushed to a hidden rock crevice ahead, took out a golden cup from his bag and filled it with purified The healing potion was handed to the hunter.
He said:
"Drink it, it will be good for you."
"It's useless."
Mr. Hunter was very weak now. He could make a very neutral mute voice without even trying to disguise his voice. She covered her belly and said:
"This is not an ordinary injury. That woman locked up my self-healing power in some way. It may be poison or some inheritance of the damn Isu people.
Have you unlocked the golden apple? ”
"Well, I also got a lot of information that you must really want."
Mason didn't hold anything back.
He glanced at the frighteningly deep night in the heavy rain, and said:
"But I'm more curious about what happened to you? Was it ambushed? Isn't that true?"
"You don't know how much trouble is happening in this world."
The hunter leaned against the narrow gap in the cracked stone. She took out a bottle of amber potion and drank it. As a result, not only did she not heal herself, but she opened her mouth again and gushed out blood due to some conflict of forces within her body.
But the great master's vitality is strong, and spitting out such a small amount of blood is not fatal.
She coughed and explained:
"Before I came over, I saw a beam of light emitted from here penetrate the core of the World Gate projection in the Star Castle. If we think about the worst-case scenario, at least one-third of the vassal worlds will be temporarily destroyed this time. Lost contact.
They must have done it on purpose and had planned it in advance.
They know us very well, and I now even suspect that there are local assassins who have disguised themselves and entered the Star Castle to conduct field reconnaissance. This is a precise and deadly set
I am attracted to golden apples.
The Warlock must have also gotten hints of some key information. If we hadn't been vigilant enough, I'm afraid we would be the ones trapped here now.
But the result is not bad either.
The assassins in this world know very well what kind of response their actions will bring, and even our preparations to forcefully cross the border to save people are also under their consideration. ”
"And swordsmen."
Mason added:
"I rescued a pioneer under the swordsman on the road. She said her name was Mysterio."
"Huh?"
The hunter was stunned by Mason's information. Although blocked by the starry sky mask, Mason could feel her stunned emotional changes at this moment.
He frowned and said:
"What? Is there any problem?"
"No, no problem."
The hunter seemed not to want to discuss this issue. She covered her waist and abdomen and continued:
"It's a bit late to say this now. The local demigod is very strong, Mason. I don't want to pretend that I can solve the problem. The fact is that I have a chance of winning in a one-on-one situation, but it is very small.
And it’s hard to care about you.
You have to take the unlocked information back with you, you hear me? ”
She said to Mason:
"It turns out that the Isu civilization in this world has indeed left something extraordinary. Just this device that can cut off the connection between this world and the parallel world system is worth our risk.
Although in my opinion this is still an evasive response, if this device can be spread to other worlds. Think about it, Mason, if we can save one more person, our work this time will be considered in vain.
You wait a moment.
I will recover for a moment and then think of a way to send you out. ”
"What about my teammates?"
Mason said:
"What about you? Will I go back alone? No! I refuse!"
"After all this, do you still expect this matter to end successfully?"
The hunter coughed and scolded:
"Should I praise you for being full of hope at all times? Or should I say you are naive? I understand that people who value emotions cannot accept this price at first, but you will gradually get used to it."
"Don't say 'price' in front of me!"
Mason scoffed at this argument, saying:
"I never intend to treat every team member I personally recruit as cannon fodder or a 'price' to be paid when necessary. That is not my way of doing things.
As for whether it is complete or not, we won’t know until the end.
I have an idea.”
"Whoosh"
Before Mason could finish speaking, a war spear with a golden light flew out from the rain in the dark night. With a bang, it passed between the two and was nailed to the stone wall behind them.
The hunter's mask was completely shattered as she dodged the fatal blow.
Under Mason's surprised gaze, her silver hair spread out. She dropped the shining red sword in her hand, pulled out a black slender two-handed sword with her backhand, and flashed out to fight the incoming opponent.
The moment I stood up, I didn’t forget to remind you:
"Let's go! I'm holding her back, I have to bring the information back to Bang"
A sap from behind interrupted all the hunter's words.
Behind her, Mason pulled out the Isu war spear embedded in the stone wall. The blessing from the Isu bloodline allowed the war spear to unleash its full capabilities in his hands.
This sap hit was extremely standard, as coquettish as the one used by Mason when he chose to save Catwoman that night in Gotham City. The hunter who was attacked from both sides was completely unaware that the attack was coming from behind.
She fell to the ground as soon as her head was dizzy, and the last scene showed an expressionless Mason squatting down while holding the war spear, and pierced an injection into her neck.
If it were in its prime, such a sneak attack would be impossible to succeed against a hunter with flash.
But right now is an exception.
Under the influence of an increased dose of bat sedative, the hunter fell into a drowsy coma.
Mason glanced at her face, which was always hidden behind a mask. Her slightly smoky eyes and the iconic shallow knife mark on her cheek proved her identity.
Mason wasn't too surprised by this.
He stood up, holding the bright Isu war spear in his hand, and looked at the pursuer who appeared walking through the darkness through the rain curtain. The latter was wearing a black hood and holding a broken spear in his hand, looking murderous.
But she didn't attack immediately.
Perhaps it was Mason's backstabbing of one of his own that surprised her.
"Cassandra!"
Mason dropped the spear in his hand on the ground, spread his hands, and said:
"We need to talk!"
"In what capacity are you talking to me?"
The very nice and magnetic woman's voice penetrated the rain curtain, and she said coldly:
"A hound of the Society of Stars? Or a traitor who betrays his friends for glory? You know, even if you betray your friends, it doesn't mean that I will show mercy to you."
"Stop pretending, I don't believe you can't feel the power flowing in my body."
Mason was undaunted.
He walked out of the rock crack where he was hiding and endured the beating of raindrops in the rain curtain. He said:
"I speak to you as Hephaestus the Isu, and if that's not enough, add the identity of the Rebel of the Stars!
My teammates and I killed an A-class personnel who was ordered to search for secrets in your world and wait for an opportunity to start a war. This is not the first time I have slaughtered these hounds.
We also had the ability to close the Aurora System in the Great Temple just now and restart the World Gate to bring you a war.
But we didn't do that.
I think this is enough to prove that I'm not talking nonsense. I didn't knock my superior out to sell her to you. I just didn't want her to hear the rest of our conversation.
That's all. ”
The pursuer in the rain did not answer.
After a few seconds of orderly silence, she turned her fingers and put the vicious broken spear into her sleeve, and glanced at the unconscious hunter at Mason's feet.
She said:
"Take her and follow me."
"And my teammates!"
Mason added:
"They mean no harm to you, and they don't deserve to be harmed!"
"That's not my decision."
The pursuer Cassandra said without looking back:
"The Assassins have lost their comrades, and they are filled with anger. You are the last link in this extermination operation. I have no reason to stop those hidden blades that pierce the night.
Unless you can give me a reasonable explanation. ”
"Poof"
John Wick, who was hidden in the suitcase, was thrown out and fell down in the rain. Mason said:
"We have not harmed any of your members, and the assassins cannot vent their anger on us."
Kassandra glanced at the assassin saint who was unconscious but not injured. She nodded and gave instructions to her hunting subordinates through the special communicator.
Then he lifted the unconscious Wick with one hand like a chicken. Mason also carried the hunter behind his back and followed the local demigod back to the rift valley of the Great Temple in the increasingly violent night rain.
The place has been surrounded by assembled assassins and Templars.
When Mason returned, a group of people wearing multiple protective suits were cleaning up the last remains of Wesker, who was burned to death by the Phoenix flames.
They used the most advanced protective equipment to collect the flesh and blood of those who were dead but still alive and put them into helicopters parked outside. Some assassin saints wearing black robes and white robes guarded key locations, and some wore blood robes. Templar saints with crosses adorning their bodies guarded the key points with heavily armored guards.
They really unite!
Two forces that have been hostile to each other for more than two thousand years have united to kill the third party that represents chaos.
Entering the temple area, Mason saw the captured Zha Kang and Er Gu at a glance. They were placed in some kind of biological cabin. Barbara and Miss Mysterio were missing and were probably still on the run.
Cassandra in the temple waved her hand, and the staff here immediately filed out respectfully, making the place quiet quickly.
But Mason can be sure that those murderous guys are sharpening their knives outside the door. As long as he doesn't say a word correctly, they will be happy to replace the demigods of this world to execute him, an outsider.
But sitting back and waiting isn't Mason's style.
He looked at the place in front of him where he had fought, and saw his set of burned, pitch-black power armor that had been cleared away by armed men from this world.
By the way, I saw the phoenix egg contained in a glass jar
All right.
The unlucky Fox was returned to his phoenix egg form less than ten minutes after his Nirvana rebirth. Wasn't his life in vain?
"As expected of the legendary god-killing hero."
Mason complained in a low voice:
"It only took less than five minutes to kill my phoenix. It was a legendary creature."
"When I was young, I killed not just a dozen but ten legendary creatures. You have no idea how crazy those believers of Artemis, the goddess of hunting, were back then.
Now I am just a phoenix in its infancy, how difficult can it be? ”
Faced with Mason's complaints, Sister Cassandra Ka, who was no longer in combat mode, sounded much kinder.
She reached out and held her hood and pushed it back, exposing her face that had never aged in more than two thousand years of watching the world to Mason's eyes.
The signature braid hangs down on the chest, which makes Mason want to complain again, "Ma'am, your hair style is really dangerous."
"Go on, use sweet words to try to get a way out for you and your companions."
Sister Ka calmly folded her arms and leaned against the stone pillar, looking up at the pale flowing light flying and shining on the top of the activated great temple.
She knew exactly what it was.
She had seen a lot of this in her long life.
Although humans ostensibly rule this world, Ancient Ones like her know very well that the Isu influence has never faded throughout the history of this world.
Without the embellishment of these ancient things, this world would be just ordinary.
The most ridiculous thing is that in the eyes of the descendants guarding outside, Cassandra herself is actually one of these ancient and legendary things.
Although both the Assassins and the Templars have long since passed the stage of worshiping gods, Sister Ka knows very well that there are still many young people in the current organization who worship her as a true "god".
But she had no intention of correcting that.
Time will always smooth out everything for her, whether it is fanaticism or vigilance.
"Team K are spies."
Mason said frankly:
"We are undercover personnel sent by our world to join the Society of Stars. Just like your world is resisting the invasion, we have also put the threat of the Society of Stars on the agenda and successfully thwarted a pollution operation they carried out in secret. .
I think this alone is enough for us to leave here safely. ”
"Really?"
Sister Ka was noncommittal, and with a wave of her hand, a suspended stone pillar fell from high altitude to her hand. She glanced at Mason and said:
"What are your world coordinates?"
Mason skillfully reported the coordinates of the Gotham world. Sister Ka performed a search program on the stone in front of her, and the World Tree mainframe split in the Grand Temple quickly gave the search results.
She said:
"Well, according to the database we copied from the Star Castle, you did have a failed invasion there. It seems you are not lying."
"Have you penetrated this far?"
Mason raised his eyebrows and said:
"Even the database of the Association of Stars has been hacked? This is too exaggerated. Many A-level worlds cannot do this."
"Don't forget the power characteristics of this world, C-class personnel Mason Cooper, lurking, disguise and spying on intelligence are the assassin's specialties, not to mention we also have the technology left by the Isu."
Sister Ka waved her hand and said:
"We have been preparing for this less than 12-hour operation for twelve months. The whole world is revolving around this plan. It is not unusual to achieve this step.
But this is our limit.
It can only cause them a little damage but cannot completely eradicate that dark and chaotic organization. ”
She stared at Mason, her eyes deep and sharp. It was an examination based on the wisdom and experience gathered from the long life of an ancient man who had lived for more than 2,200 years.
I have to say, it’s extremely stressful.
After a few seconds, she waved her hands and said:
"You can go, Mason Cooper. If you are still here after this impact is over, I hope you can send a messenger back to visit us."
"Is it that simple?"
Mason raised his eyebrows and said:
"I have also prepared a lot of rhetoric to persuade you to show kindness."
"How hard can it be?"
Sister Ka snorted and said:
"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that we need help. Whether we continue to fight the Star Council or seek survival under the apocalypse, we all need help.
We cannot find any companions in the Society of the Stars.
We tried, but there were no eligible companions there.
Your world may be worthy of consideration, so we unleash kindness and expect a response.
And you, Mason.”
Sister Ka stretched out her hand and nodded to Mason’s heart, she said:
"You are the dove we released." (End of Chapter)
