Chapter 203 1. When I come back victorious, we will have a showdown--[815]
(Additional update for the ‘Humen Smoke’ brothers)
Early the next morning, Harley Quinn ran out and walked around Crime Alley as if patrolling her territory. When she came home happily carrying her beloved baseball bat and two ice cream buckets, she watched A crowd of people had already gathered in the small shop.
She knew that this was Mason's mysterious "little friends" coming to play with him again.
Harley wanted to go over and listen to what they were chatting about, but before she could take action, she was pulled out of the door by Poison Ivy next to her.
He said that he was going to take her to the Iceberg Bar to see if Selena was feeling better.
Although Catwoman has a very proud character and is very trouble-making, she miraculously maintains a pretty good relationship with the girls around Mason.
And because of her age, ahem, I mean relatively mature and powerful appeal, she almost became the leader of the "women's army" of Team K.
So, wearing a safety helmet, Harley Quinn put the ice cream specially brought to Mason on the table, and then cheered and went out with Ivy, not forgetting to bring her cool golden baseball stick.
That was the "big toy" that Mason made for her using the magical forging formation because he was so pestered by her last night.
Although it looks like an ordinary baseball bat, this thing is made of magic metal and has Isu inscriptions carved by Mason's hands. It is at least a high-quality piece of equipment.
At least Harley is very easy to use.
The members of Team K gathered in Mason's shop did not discuss much about the mission at this moment. Mason knew that some things should wait until they passed the gate of the world to prevent a certain bad guy in the team from running away again.
He finally understood.
If you want Zha Kang to do a good job, you can't give this guy a choice, and you have to coax him well. It's almost like looking at a seven or eight-year-old naughty kid who is the age when people hate dogs.
"Are you sure this thing is really harmless?"
Lying there on the makeshift operating table in the basement of the shop, Zha Kang watched suspiciously as Mason poured a ball of blue liquid from his alchemy chalice into three syringes, and then glanced at the medicine box placed next to him. A platinum-level trauma team biopod from the 2077 era.
As he took off his clothes, he said:
"Although you promised to give me the best reinforcements before, it's too late. I just came back from there yesterday, and you came out with the finished product today. It's really hard to stop thinking about it.
What if you try to fool me with a defective product? I have no reason to reason. ”
"Then you'd better not think too much!"
Mason looked at the guy in front of him who was eating steamed buns and still thought the steamed buns were dark. He shook the super soldier serum in the syringe to check the quality and said with a straight face:
"This is an improved version that I stayed up late to make. Although it may not be as powerful as the original version, the effect as a replica will definitely satisfy you.
I made slight adjustments to its formula and added some Isu biotechnology strengthening formulas to make its original strength-based strengthening effect on the body more even.
Simply put, it will not only strengthen your physical fitness, but also allow you to further control your energy.
The Isu people are very good at this kind of biological transformation. They carried out similar universal transformation on ancient humans 70,000 years ago in that world.
You've seen the real thing, and I think that puts your mind at ease.
Now, lie down!
Damn it!
No need to take off your pants!
Don't throw that thing of yours around, it makes you upset! ”
"What happened to you today?"
Zha Kang snorted, took off his shirt and lay down in the biological cabin. He watched Mason put three syringes into the precision equipment, and asked suspiciously:
"I always feel very irritable? Is it related to this mission? You should reveal it in advance so that I can be prepared."
"You just need to lie in it honestly, and you will be strengthened after twelve hours."
Mason glanced at this keen guy and wondered that he was always amazingly good at predicting dangers. Then he showed a gentle smile and said:
"As for the mission, don't worry about it. It's not a troublesome matter. We can talk about it after you become a superhuman."
After speaking, Mason activated the biological cabin. When three syringes pierced Zha Kang's blood vessels at the same time, the smoke vaporized by the powerful coma substance Life and Death Water was also filled into the entire biological cabin.
Zha Kang made an OK gesture with a playful smile and quickly fell asleep.
Mason really didn't lie to him.
The reinforcements used for him were carefully prepared by Mason. They are absolutely effective and can effectively improve Zha Kang's combat effectiveness and survivability.
However, this super soldier serum has notorious "side effects".
It will amplify people's desires, the better the better, the worse the worse. Judging from Zha Kang's living habits, after it takes effect, it will probably make this guy more debauched and cunning at the same time.
Falling into darkness and becoming a villain like the Red Skull is not a problem.
Zha Kang is just a scumbag.
Although there is a lot of darkness in his heart, he has spent the first half of his life fighting these things in his own way. Mason is not worried that after strengthening, he will become a big villain.
He just vaguely felt that the relationship between Zha Kang and his ex-girlfriend Xiao Zha would be more bumpy because of this. But what does that have to do with him, a melon-eater?
If Zha Kang wants it, just give it to him, and he can just bear the subsequent troubles himself.
Mason put the biological capsule into his suitcase and walked out of the basement to confirm the status of the members.
Needless to say more about the second barrel.
The past night of "acting chivalrously" in Gotham and beating a group of unlucky guys into shattered fractures made this embryo-killer smile and feel much happier, as if he was resurrected with full blood.
He still had bandages on his hands, but there was a box sitting under his butt.
There was the "birthday gift" given to him by Mason. Ergong couldn't be more satisfied with this set of Isu Vanguard Armor. He wished he could have two Cleaner biochemical soldiers in front of him right now for him to practice with.
Kite and Captain Jack had a lot of complaints. They had just returned from burrowing in the world of Hogwarts, and they had not rested for two days but were about to hit the road again.
But the work efficiency of these two guys is really amazing.
They got Mason enough palladium for a long time from the abandoned Atomic Energy Research Institute, and made an atomic battery according to the specifications given by Dr. Otto.
This was enough for Mason's Fenrir suit to activate and fight at full strength.
Barbara was in a good mood, too.
Although she spent three thrilling days in the world of assassins, she had a good rest last night. Before she came, she asked Judy, who was hanging around the Iceberg Bar, to upgrade several hacking programs for her. Now she is gearing up to do something big.
"Barbara, how is the situation over there with Selena?"
Mason asked.
"It's okay, she can walk on her own."
Batgirl was sitting in a wheelchair disguising her "paralyzed persona". She smiled and said:
"I left Judy there to take care of her. Both of us were very satisfied with it. Mrs. Elizabeth and Angelina would also help take care of her. If something happened here, they would take Selena and Judy to the hospital immediately. Sent to Peter's world
That's our 'safe house'. ”
"Very good, this is very good."
Mason nodded, and he took out the saber Alice left by Mr. Hunter. As soon as he took it out, Ergong's eyes lit up immediately as he was very passionate about cold weapons and was very knowledgeable about cold weapons.
He saw at a glance that it was a peerless sword.
"Now, I'll leave it to you for now."
Mason handed Alice's hands to the second bucket and warned:
"It's a 'mission prop' lent to us by a big shot. You are the only one among us who can fight in close combat. It will depend on your performance when the time comes."
"No problem."
Er Tong agreed wholeheartedly, holding the handle of the knife and pulling it out. A cold aura instantly enveloped the surroundings, causing Captain Jack, who was smoking a cigarette, to turn his eyes.
The superstitious pirate squinted his eyes and said:
"There is terrible resentment on this knife that is almost solidified. Don't pull it out, Jason. I have heard many such things on the sea. Once this dangerous magic knife is unsheathed and does not drink blood, things will be very troublesome. .
It obviously still doesn't obey you. Maybe we need a ritual and ask Zha Kang to get some bottles of holy water or something. ”
"Stop selling your supernatural stories that are three hundred years out of date. This is not an evil thing, it just has a bad temper."
Er Tong put the sword back into its sheath, caressed the handle of the sword as if caressing his wife, and said:
"It's a pity that I borrowed it. I wish I could have bought it."
"Actually, it's not impossible."
Mason rubbed his chin and said:
"If we do a good job and flatter the big shot, maybe we can apply to keep it with Team K for a long time.
Anyway, the big shot has a backup of weapons on hand.
But this is all for later. Let’s get ready to go. I will explain the specific mission situation after it has passed. ”
Mason gave everyone a few minutes to move around and arrange household chores.
Especially Barbara had to report her itinerary to Director Gordon, otherwise she would be reprimanded again for being outside every day and unable to reach home.
However, according to Barbara, her father seemed to be very busy these days, and when he ran back outside after work, he still smelled of perfume.
It's very possible that he's secretly renewing his relationship with a doctor who is cold-faced and warm-hearted.
Moreover, his daughter brought back a friend as a guest last time, which made Gordon very happy. He felt that this was because Barbara's knot in her heart was finally untied and she started to enter a new life.
Although Gordon didn't feel very good about the dashing girl covered in tattoos.
Coming from decades of experience working in Gotham, the old policeman always felt that there was something inexplicable about the girl named Judy.
Mason also plans to communicate with Poison Ivy about the arrangements for the next few days. He estimates that he will go for at least five days. Poison Ivy can take care of the potion field in the Forbidden Forest, but it is obviously not good for Harley to stay alone in Gotham. plan.
He planned to ask Harry to temporarily go to the Iceberg Bar to help Mrs. Elizabeth these days.
Anyway, with her excellent and outstanding appearance and having also learned dance, it would be absolutely no problem for her to make a guest appearance as a dancer.
But just when Mason picked up the phone, it suddenly vibrated. He squinted his eyes when he saw the number, then quietly left the room, picked up the ice cream that Harley left for him, and answered the phone. Put it in your ear and say:
"Bruce? What's the matter?"
"Mason."
Batman's voice came from the other end of the phone.
There was a rare hint of fatigue in this man's voice, and the master said hoarsely:
"We need to talk."
Mason's heart skipped a beat.
He said tentatively:
"About what?"
"About your organization, about your secret base under Port Miller, about Selina, about this world, and about the unknown thing that is coming."
The master doesn’t pretend anymore.
He said directly in a showdown tone:
"We have observed some not-so-good signs at the Watchtower Space Station. The space distortion has reached a very dangerous level, but even Doctor Fate, who can see through time, cannot tell the truth.
My instinct tells me that maybe I can get the answer from you.
I have been waiting for you to take the initiative to speak. I think this can show my trust in you, but time is running out now, so would you like to reveal some information to me?
Or let me change the question. ”
Batman paused, and the master said in a more serious tone:
"Can I trust you in this situation? Mason."
"You should ask if you can trust Selena."
Mason also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he had long been mentally prepared for the master to discover his secret, when the moment actually arrived, he would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous.
After thinking for a moment, he replied:
"I have an urgent mission now. I can't tell you the content, but it should be related to what you just observed. Selina will stay in Gotham. She was injured in the last mission.
I will tell her to tell you what you want to know. If it is convenient, you can come back to Gotham.
But Bruce, only you know this! ”
Mason emphasized:
"The League of Assassins is not the only partner they have found in this world. Although the identities of other forces cannot be determined at present, I am certain that there are their collaborators around us.
Even in the Justice League
I'm not trying to stir up discord.
But you should be able to understand this kind of thing, and the fewer people who know about it, the better. And if I had to define us, I would be happy to tell you that we are undercover agents sent into each other by this world.
The deeper we dive, the more you will know.
So back to your question, can you trust us? I don’t know, and I can’t give you a definite answer, but we’ve seen different kinds of doomsday.
I am certain that everything my friends and I are doing now is trying to reverse the coming of a tragic doomsday in this world.
Selena wouldn't want you and Damian to go through what she saw.
This is the only reply I can give you now. ”
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a long time before Batman's hoarse voice rang again. He said:
"Stop using the Bat Network. Cyborg has placed listeners deep in the data structure. Try to keep a low profile in Gotham. There is a program in the watchtower monitoring it 24 hours a day."
"Thanks, Bruce."
Mason smiled.
He knew that the master did not completely trust him.
It's impossible for Batman to completely trust someone, but the master's answer means that he is willing to accept Mason's statement.
With his habit of preparing for any bad thing in advance, he knows better than anyone in the Justice League the strategic advantages that the K-Team can bring to the stars.
So he made the same choice as the old Green Goblin.
He's on Team K's side.
Of course, this is only the case temporarily.
Mason calmed down and dialed Selina's number again. After hearing what he said about what happened just now, Catwoman's voice was a little trembling.
She complained:
"You're taking too many risks, Mason. Maybe Bruce is just trying to stabilize you. Maybe Superman and Wonder Woman will be at your door in the next second."
"I'm still here, and they didn't show up, which shows that the master is at least willing to give us a chance to defend ourselves."
Mason walked to the window, ate his ice cream and opened the blinds to take a look outside. Not seeing the big boy from Kansas and the Olympian Valkyrie descending on Crime Alley made his thoughts less pessimistic.
He said to Catwoman:
"Don't think too much, Selena.
You can answer whatever Bruce asks you when he comes back. You don’t have to hide anything or put in a good word for me, but remember the soul curse and don’t reveal too much about the inside secrets of the Society of Stars.
I think with your intelligence you can find a way to talk to Bruce without triggering the curse. Then the world's best detective will definitely understand our difficulties. ”
"I really suffered a lot from you."
Catwoman snorted.
The eldest sister sighed and said in a longer voice:
"Now I'm going to be at a disadvantage in the war with him, and it's all your fault! But I can't go with you this time, so you must take care of yourself and them, okay?" (End of Chapter)< br>
