Chapter 198 81. Mr. Hunter loves you--Added update for the "Autistic Captain" brother【315】
"Barbara, don't run away. It's done here. Come back and meet me. Don't be afraid. The assassins behind you will send you here. Don't conflict with them for the time being."
As the rain faded in the dark night, Batgirl, who was fleeing in panic after being chased, received a message from Mason. The captain's deep voice suddenly relaxed her nervousness.
The feeling of being surrounded by a group of assassin saints bursting with murderous intent is really not good at all.
The embarrassment tonight was second only to Batgirl's desperate feeling when Gotham's number one lunatic came to her door with a gun and sought revenge.
She took a breath and looked at the mysterious guest next to her who had already begun to fidget. This blond lady just dragged her all the way to jump over. Without her protection, Barbara would have been caught long ago.
At this moment, Bat Girl hurriedly supported the shaky Mysterio, told her the good news that she was safe, and took her back to join Mason.
However, Mysterio refused.
"I can go out by myself, don't worry about me."
The blonde girl brushed her long hair, her face was pale but she still pretended to be cool and said:
"Actually, it's you, a little noob, who has been dragging me down. Do you understand? If it weren't for you, I would have jumped to the other side of the world."
"But the whole world is on lockdown."
Barbara said worriedly:
"The gate to the world cannot be used, how do you leave?"
"When they release you, the suppression effect of this world-wide weird device will definitely weaken, and then I will be able to take the opportunity to run away."
Mysterio looked at the kind-hearted girl in front of him, she sighed and comforted:
"Anyway, don't worry about me. Don't forget that I have a backing! The extremely powerful and swift swordsman will not give up her followers. I may return to safety faster than you.
Come on, leave your contact information, little girl.
We will get closer and closer in the future. ”
A few minutes later, Barbara walked out of the building where she was hiding with her hands raised. In the light in front of her, the assassin saints in white and black robes, whose expressions could not be seen clearly, could only be seen in outline, yelling at her to put down their weapons. .
In the shadow of the building behind her, the swordsman leaned on his soul sword and watched Barbara being sent into a black helicopter, and then he was completely relieved.
She glanced at the sky above where no more raindrops were falling.
The heavy rain came and went quickly, and basically disappeared after Team K escaped from danger, as if to highlight the thrilling level of the entire incident.
"Mason Cooper"
The swordsman narrowed his eyes.
She whispered as she jumped away from this dangerous area:
"Hey, let's see you next time, funny little guy."
On the other side, in the Great Underground Temple of New York, several "artificial saints" who also have the biological information of the Isu inventor are urgently adjusting the energy level of the Aurora device.
According to the request of Lord Malaka, er, Lord Cassandra, they will adjust the Aurora Device's coverage of the world to a weakened state in a few minutes, so that Team K can open the door to the world and leave here.
In order to prevent it from being penetrated by the outside world again, this energy wave trough will only last a few seconds, but it is completely enough for Mason.
"How many golden apples are currently in orbit around the planet that are still operating synchronously with the aurora device?"
Under the pale stream of light projected by the Great Temple's photon computer, Mason raised his head and looked at the complex and abnormal parallel world projection model suspended above his head. He asked:
"You are so eager to risk being fully invaded to lure the stars into your world. I'm afraid it's because this device is unsustainable, right?"
"You know quite a lot."
Beside him, Sister Ka, who put on her hood again, was playing with an Isu-style wine bottle and replied casually:
"As expected of the guy who has awakened the memories of the 'Master Craftsman', Hephaestus was once one of the designers and forgers of the Aurora Device. There is no point in hiding these things from you.
More than 70,000 years have allowed this device to decay. Only 48 of the planetary defense system composed of 220 golden apples in its heyday are still in operation.
It works only barely, relying on the Isu's mysterious knowledge of space and dimensions to isolate us from the slowly dying system of parallel worlds.
In popular terms, it is a ‘sandbox’, but as you said, this ‘hiding’ is no longer sustainable. ”
Sister Ka shook her head and whispered:
"However, it has protected us through three shocks. Can we ask it to do better?"
"Three times?"
Mason turned around in surprise and said:
"Only two impact events have occurred in the records of the Society of Stars. The third one is on the way but has not happened yet."
"Oh? Then how do you think the Isu people who were able to design such ingenious miraculous devices became extinct?"
Sister Ka smiled, took a sip of wine and said:
"Three strikes indeed, Mason.
Just because the first impact occurred too long ago and was different from the two subsequent ones, the 'cosmic tremor' that occurred more than 70,000 years ago was not observed and recorded, but the Isu people became famous because of it. extinct.
They called it the ‘Disaster of Toba’.
The Society of Stars has only been established for more than twenty years, but our world has been preparing for impact events as early as 70,000 years ago.
Your organization's failure this time was not due to strength, but purely the result of arrogance and arrogance.
Unfortunately, according to our observations and the calculations of the "Three Goddesses of Destiny" program of the World Tree host, after this impact is over, the aurora device will gradually fail.
The time left for us is at most three months.
Then we will completely lose our disguise and be exposed to the sight of the Star Society. With the vengeful nature of those miscellaneous people, what awaits us will be a terrifying retaliatory invasion.
Even a war of extermination.
They will stop at nothing to gain Isu knowledge, but I don't believe they will give this knowledge to a world in need. ”
"Then let them come!"
Mason sneered and said solemnly:
"When the hounds set foot on this land, I promise that you will never fight alone. This will become their tomb, and the war will never end until the last drop of their blood is shed."
"You seem confident in your world, Mason."
Sister Ka observed Mason's expression, she chuckled lightly and said:
"Perhaps this is the strength of the Transcendent A Grade world? The victory we achieved by doing our best to sneak attacks and set up ambushes can be easily won by you with just a hearty battle.
Oh, it's so enviable. ”
"Don't look down on yourself so much, Sister Ka."
Mason curled his lips and said:
"I have to admit that before experiencing all this personally, I could not imagine that a B-level world could cause such great damage to the stars. You have fully proved the truth that fighting depends on your brain.
But seriously, tell me in advance before taking action next time.
With our cooperation, you can actually achieve greater results.
However, under the protection of the aurora device, this world cannot obtain specific coordinates from the outside. How should I contact you after I go back? ”
"This is indeed a problem."
Sister Ka nodded seriously.
But then she showed a royal smile and said to Mason:
"But this is your problem, Mason Cooper, and you have to figure it out, and I think you're capable of solving it before our poor world is destroyed.
It is no exaggeration to say that our lives are now in your hands. ”
"Sir, the energy trough of the aurora device will arrive in three minutes!"
The staff at the top shouted.
Sister Ka nodded, took a step back, and said to Mason:
"Well, see you next time, Mason and your K-Team."
Mason glanced at Barbara who was being sent over behind him.
The Bat Girl was holding the phoenix egg that had saved everyone before, as well as Zha Kang and Er Tong who were supporting each other to walk weakly, as well as Mr. Hunter who was placed in a biological cabin.
A starry sky mask was put on her face again.
Mason obviously did not intend to let others know her true identity, lest they become angry and draw their swords to kill everyone in Team K after recovering.
The gate to the world is already being prepared. As long as you wait for the correct time, you can cross and leave this place.
"Mason, wait."
Just before they were about to leave, Sister Ka suddenly called out to them.
Mason looked back and saw John Wick, the assassin saint who had been subdued by him before, walking towards him with an expressionless face holding a dog.
"This is?"
He raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then heard Cassandra explain:
"Think of John Wick as the representative of our world stationed at your place. After all, it is a major matter of uniting against the enemy, so it must be more formal. He will discuss some specific matters with the person in charge on your side on our behalf.
After all, with your status, if you want to hide in the Star Club for a long time, you can't get too involved in this kind of thing. ”
"Indeed, your considerations make sense."
Mason glanced at the assassin saint who was holding a dog and with blood stains on his face. He squinted and said:
"But can I change someone? I'm afraid that this guy will go to my city and one day his puppy will be hurt by some drunk idiot and he will kill the whole city with a pencil in a rage
I've looked at your database and this has happened once. ”
"Wick, of all men, is the only one who has no worries."
Sister Ka shook her head and said:
"He is the most suitable candidate."
"Okay."
Mason didn’t object anymore. He crossed his fingers and said to the cold-faced evil star:
"Come on, Johnny, you're going to be a little dizzy walking through this door for the first time."
"Hi, go on."
The moment the door to the world opened, something was thrown over. When Mason turned around to grab it, he felt a cold touch in his hand.
Then he heard Sister Ka saying in ancient Greek behind him:
"Master Assassin Mason Cooper, our friend, may the Hidden Blade protect you, and may Mother Earth bless you."
——
"Buzz"
In a flash of light, Team K returned to the underground safe house in Port Miller.
Although it only took two days to carry out the team's mission this time, it was the most dangerous situation that Team K had experienced since its establishment.
Although no one died, almost everyone who returned was injured except Mason. Not to mention that there is a Mr. Hunter lying in the biological cabin waiting for treatment.
Mason glanced at the closed door to the world behind him. The coordinate scale recording the world of assassins on the brass door handle was quickly disappearing under the influence of some external force.
It was the protection of the aurora device that made that world untraceable.
This means that even if the Stars want to retaliate, they can't find a specific target at all. At least until the Aurora device fails, they can only suffer this dumb loss.
He looked down at the gift in his hand again.
A hidden sword made of a special kind of leather and Isu metal, it is the status symbol of the master assassins and their famous assassination weapon.
Using this thing obviously requires extremely high melee skills, and Mason, who has never made any effort to practice close combat, is not suitable for it.
This is just a symbol of recognition by the other party.
But it's not useless.
"Here you go."
Mason threw the Master Hidden Sword in his hand to Ergong, who was a master of cold weapons and fell in love with it the moment he saw it, and started playing with it regardless of his injured body.
"Don't look for me in the next few days!"
The pale-faced Zha Kang covered his stomach and shouted:
"I'm going to get drunk! I'm going to have a good time! I'm going to have a hard time without paying! I really don't want to go through this mess again, Mason.
Don't forget the serum you promised me!
Damn it, I've been through hell and I haven't gotten anything good. ”
"Go on, go on, I will never disturb you, I urgently need a rest myself."
Mason rubbed his forehead because he really didn't have the energy to argue with Zha Kang.
He arranged for Ergong, who was still able to move, to send Barbara home who was about to faint, and asked Zha Kang to take John Wick to stay at the Iceberg Bar to get familiar with the environment before talking about meeting the heroes of this world.
In the end, he put away the phoenix egg and stayed alone in this underground safe house. He did not intend to go back to his shop and just rested here.
Physical fatigue is another factor.
Mainly because of his mental dullness, Mason felt that this was no longer a problem that could be alleviated by refreshing potions.
Before he lay down on the sofa and fell asleep, he did not forget to put the Isu cloak that could heal injuries on the hunter lady in the biological cabin.
After leaving the world of assassins, the power that prevented her from healing dissipated.
It seems that it is still a "regional BUFF", and it will be ineffective outside of there.
Mason slept soundly. He had many strange dreams until he felt a chill on his neck and then opened his eyes.
Then he saw the hunter holding the bloody knife against his neck.
It's not that she doesn't want to chop it down.
Facing this damn subordinate who boldly attacked and stabbed her boss in the back, no matter how many times she cut her, she couldn't vent her anger. The only reason she spared his life was because Mason was holding a golden apple in his hand.
And that thing was emitting a faint golden light, disturbing the hunter's thinking.
"Are you awake?"
Mason had no intention of causing trouble by stabbing his boss in the back. After seeing the hunter wake up, he grinned and didn't care at all about the sharp blade the hunter was pressing against his neck.
He even put away the golden apples for self-protection.
The moment the power of thought interference disappeared, his whole body was lifted up by his neck and slammed against the camouflaged wall of the container next to him.
Under the starry sky mask in front of him, the big eyes shone with a cold light.
"I think you should calm down."
Mason relaxed his body with his legs in the air, showing no intention of resisting.
He felt a little uncomfortable with his neck being stuck, but he still said intermittently to the silent woman in front of him:
"We are back alive. No one died. This matter has been successfully resolved. No matter from any angle, you have no reason to be angry."
"You sneak attack on me!"
The hunter gritted his teeth, and the sound was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
She said:
"It's still when I protect you!"
"Yes, I am really touched that you risked your life to rescue me and my team. I retract my suspicions that I shouldn't have before. You are indeed a five-star good boss.
I shouldn't have done that.
But you also know the situation at that time. I don’t think you would listen to my explanation and do what I want in that situation. ”
Mason sighed and said:
"I just chose the most direct method of dissuasion, and it turns out that my method is very effective. And compared to us here worrying about things in the past, I think there are more troublesome things waiting for us to deal with now.
Star Castle will not give up.
As the only team to escape from the world of assassins, I know with my heels how many troublesome questions I have to accept. It would be fine if I had a clear conscience, but I am a real young man.
You say, what should we do now? ”
"I'm not dead yet."
The hunter couldn't hold back the anger in her heart, but in the end she threw Mason back on the sofa with a wave of her hand. While arranging her robe and mask, she said coldly:
"No one will attribute this to a small C-level team. Your apparent weakness is the best protective color. But I have to go back to the Star Castle now. If you have anything to do, wait until I come here next time to talk about it.
Mason.
I don't have time to find out what deal you made with those assassins to get us all back, but before I come over next time, you'd better make up a decent excuse. ”
The silver light turned on, and she walked into it and disappeared.
Mason shrugged, fell down on the sofa and continued to sleep. He was really tired, and it felt great to have a tall person supporting him when the sky was falling.
Tsk, Siliya Fiona Ellen Lianlen, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Nilfgaard, the daughter of the White Wolf
You are such a good boss. (End of chapter)
