Chapter 205 3. Explosive! Mason’s true identity turns out to be.——[1015]
(Additional update for the ‘Humen Smoke’ brothers)
What Will Turner wants to talk to Mason about isn't complicated.
The captain, who had been transformed into a monster under the influence of the curse, did not even waste time talking. In the captain's room, which was dotted with all kinds of strange monsters, like a madman's ward, he stared at Mason and said:
< br>
"Old Teague's arrival explained to me some things about the Society of Stars and outsiders. He also told me the story about the last old K. He said that his former collaborator came to this world to ensure that the goddess of the sea would not Recovery.
You have made a series of mistakes here that led to the current situation.
As you can see, he and I have guessed that those liquidators will come to this world to steal the last treasures, so I am preparing to surround them!
The end may be inevitable, but I would rather spend my last day fighting than praying to the gods for salvation.
I need your help, Mason. ”
"That's no problem."
Mason wasn’t mincing words either.
He looked hesitantly at the chair next to him that was stained with strange mucus. He hesitated for a few seconds but still didn't sit down. He raised his head and looked at Will and said:
"I'm not afraid of going to war with the Liquidators, and I'm very willing to help my friends complete a counterattack in a crisis, but I still have to say, Will, you guys can actually survive.
Same with Elizabeth and Jack.
As long as you give me some time, you can even keep your ship and go to our world with us. Don't you want to see your son grow up?
There’s no need to stay here and be buried with your world, right? ”
"We can't break away, Mason."
Will Turner shook his head, and this action caused a few small gray-white crabs to fly out from the weird tentacles on his cheeks. He picked them up and threw them into his mouth, making a crunching sound.
Then he said with splashes of juice:
"The Flying Dutchman is not just cursed by Colypso. We have to walk in the world of the living and the hell of the dead. As long as the hell remains, our curse will trap us forever.
We are more connected to this world than anyone else in this world.
Anyone can run, but not us.
I appreciate your kindness, but our fate is sealed.
This would be the Dutchman's last voyage.
We will return to the Demon Prison to bring the souls of the dead who do not want to be silent, and release them in the dusk of the doomsday to ensure that no one can take away the last breath of this world alive.
My crew and I are ready for this.
I hope you will be ready too. ”
"Okay."
Seeing that the other party's words had reached this level, Mason couldn't say anything more, so he changed the topic and asked:
"Can you tell me what the pirates in this world have been doing during the more than half a month since we left? Are they still developing smoothly in the North American continent? Where are they hiding Colypso?"
"Right in Virginia."
Captain Will said in a cold and unclear voice:
"The medicine you gave them allowed them to unite to the greatest extent. Survivors across the sea gathered under their command as if they saw hope. It only took them ten days to expand an area of the colony as their base.
Driven by a desire for vengeance, towns were retaken every day, and the survivors' ghoul-burning fires could be seen from beneath the sea day and night.
They seemed to embrace hope.
Barbossa found Poseidon's Trident ten days ago, and they summoned Colypso seven days ago.
I don't know much about the specific situation, but the message conveyed by the seawater told me that they used the power of Poseidon's Trident to coerce Colypso into reaching some agreement with them.
The first shrine to Poseidon is said to have been erected in a Virginia harbor.
You will find the place easily.
At the speed of the Black Pearl, you can get there in a day and a night at most. But Mason, the Dutchman's power comes from Colypso and the curse of the sea, and we can't help you attack her. ”
"It doesn't matter, just lock your goals."
Mason waved his hand and said:
"We'll take care of the rest. But, old J, um, I mean, didn't old Teague tell you what he plans to do next?"
"The old man didn't say anything."
Will Turner let out a head-numbing laugh and said:
"I'm too lazy to ask.
Maybe he had a way to leave, but I didn't need it. Mason, about Elizabeth and Henry. Leave the rest of the time to me and my family.
Tell me about their lives with you, without leaving out any details, so that I can take good memories with me before I die.
Just a little bit is enough. ”
"That's more than a little bit. Before we arrived, Elizabeth specially recorded this piece for me to bring to you. Your son also has a lot to say to his father.
Don't worry about them.
Even if Team K fails in the end, I can guarantee you that your wife and children will be able to live carefree in that city until the last day of their lives. ”
Mason took out a special video recorder from his arms, placed it on the table in front of Will and turned it on.
Elizabeth Swann's face appeared on the screen, wearing a business attire and cutting her hair short to look crisp. She immediately caught Will's attention.
When this half-human, half-monster guy saw his wife, the tenderness on his ferocious face was really moving.
When Will Turner's attention was attracted by his wife's video, Mason quietly exited the captain's cabin of the Dutchman. He didn't want to be a light bulb in this tender moment.
Mainly because he himself is still busy.
It would take a day or two to get to the pirate city, so it would be a waste not to make something.
——
While Team K was heading towards the Port of Virginia in the Caribbean world, outside the Gotham world, or to be precise, in the space orbit far away from the planet, a space station shaped like a unique tower was flying quietly around the earth.
This is the "watchtower".
Justice League headquarters.
It is a super-perfect base created through the financial resources of Bruce Wayne and the Kryptonian technology sponsored by Dachao. Of course, it is not the only base for the Justice League.
They also have a place called the "Hall of Justice" somewhere on the earth, and it is said that they also have a hiding place on the moon.
The old man wore a cloak and walked into the conference hall below the watchtower with the indifferent and calm attitude that Batman should have. Under the influence of artificial gravity, this place far away from the earth still made him feel like walking on flat ground.
After several identity verifications, the door in front of them opened to both sides, revealing a conference table that was already full of people.
There were three empty seats at the round conference table with the Justice League logo, and Superman, wearing a red and blue uniform, had already stretched out his hand to Batman, gesturing for him to sit next to him.
The meeting is about to begin.
Today's meeting included important members of the Justice League, as well as a few "friends" who didn't come here often.
The master sat down in his seat, and his eyes immediately caught sight of Zatanna sitting in the auditorium outside the round table and the powerful spellcaster next to her wearing a golden full-covered mask, who was calm and exuding power. who.
Doctor Fate
The one who comes is not kind.
Bruce Wayne thought so under the disguise of an expressionless face.
"So, let's get started."
As the watchtower on duty, Green Arrow, wearing a green cloak, carrying a bow and quiver, and a green domino mask, stood up and spoke as the host of the meeting:
"Let me first summarize and report to you what we have discovered in the past few days."
"Don't waste your time, Green Arrow."
Sitting on the right side of Superman, Wonder Woman, wearing an iconic suit of armor, waved her hand, looked a little tired and drank coffee and said:
"Everyone is here during this period. Everyone knows what happened. Let's get straight to the point."
"Okay."
Green Arrow curled his lips, coughed, and said:
"The Flash traveled through six parallel worlds in the past seven days with the help of the cosmic treadmill, and the news he brought back was as bad as we expected.
Observers set up in six parallel worlds detected the same space-time distortion signal almost at the same time, which means that the 'doomsday disaster' that Doctor Fate warned us about before will not only happen in our world.
The Flash encountered a 'block' while traveling through parallel worlds.
Judging from the last message he sent back, it seemed that other speedsters had noticed him.
He initially suspected that it should be some kind of hostile force, so he was chasing the opponent in the hyperchronic flow. The last message he sent back was that he might be late for the crisis, but that he would be back as soon as possible. ”
"That sounds like bad news."
Dachao said in a serious tone:
"Maybe we should go help The Flash, that kid is a little rough in his ways."
"Who can enter the hyperspace flow as easily as him?"
Wonder Woman rolled her eyes and said:
"Let's talk about something useful, Superman. Have you noticed anything different from monitoring the world?"
"No."
Superman shook his head and said:
"The whole world is calm, even calmer than before. Seven days of continuous listening did not find any news worthy of attention. The Assassin's League who returned to Nandarbat also went underground.
I went to see it with Batman, and their old bases were abandoned. ”
"The World Data Network also shows no ominous signs."
The half-human, half-machine superhero Cyborg sitting opposite Superman glanced at Batman and reported:
"Except for the fact that there was a mysterious data signal trying to invade the Justice League network a few days ago, it was very mysterious and its writing structure was something I had never seen before. Ordinary data defense lines were broken through like paper in front of it.
I noticed it before it entered the watchtower security network, but failed to catch it.
The only thing I know for sure is that the signal came from Gotham! .”
"Batman, don't you say something?"
The blond-haired Neptune patted the trident he placed in his hand with some dissatisfaction, and said in a loud voice:
"That's your territory."
The master glanced at this guy and said in an indifferent tone:
"Rather than a data signal, I care more about the things left by outsiders that you found from the bottom of the sea. Have you confirmed that they have been processed?
Their biological virus warhead has been confirmed to be an extremely dangerous threat, so dangerous that we cannot even casually destroy it. There has been no clue about the research on that virus, and it is also very difficult to make a preventive vaccine.
But fortunately, we already have a downgraded version of the vaccine, so we don’t have to start from scratch. ”
"Everything in the sea was dealt with, and a strange door was found on the seabed on the east coast. Green Lantern took that thing to Oa and tried to activate it with a replica of the Green Lantern's central battery.
The little blue people who were monitoring the situation did not say a word in the face of Hal's inquiry.
They said this was a damn destiny, and demanded that Green Lantern not get involved as a member of the Green Lantern Corps.
That’s fucked up! ”
Neptune stood up and glanced at Dr. Fate and Zatanna who were silent. The man who was already distressed by the situation crossed his arms and said:
"Let's stop being careless, okay? You all know now that the problem lies in Gotham, but you just don't have the guts to resist Batboy!
So let me tell you!
Batman, you have to tell everyone the important information you have! ”
Faced with this question, the master was noncommittal.
He did not answer Neptune's question, but raised his head and looked around everyone at Zatanna. The latter shook her head slightly to indicate that she was not talking nonsense, but Dr. Fate beside Zatanna stood up at this time.
He floated to the round table of the Justice League and said in a determined tone:
"The time flow I saw in my eyes was cut off within the confines of Gotham. Although I couldn't understand why this happened, I traced the origin and found that you have become an important part of this matter.
Batman, the information you have is crucial.
Especially at this moment when everything is about to encounter disaster, and you are deliberately secretive and unwilling to let others know your thoughts.
I know you don't trust other people, but I'm pleading with you.
That may be our only chance to get in touch with the true face of Doomsday in advance.
You must tell us.
Why did this disaster happen? In what form will it appear? Most importantly, is there an insidious and malicious organization trying to play the role of an ugly god? ”
At this time, even Superman, who trusted Batman the most, couldn't help but stand up.
Everyone's eyes in the entire Hall of Justice fell on the master. After a silence that made people feel suffocated, he knocked on the table and said:
"This is the 'Third Impact'. The same disaster has happened twice. It is the destruction and doomsday of the entire parallel world system.
Our world was blessed with byes and thus escaped the first two disruptions, but this time we must face it head-on.
The good news is that we have a good chance of getting through it safely.
The bad news is, it's accelerating. ”
The master stood up, put his hands on the table, and recalled the truth and facts Selena told him last night.
He said briefly:
"The first shock occurred seventeen years ago, and the second shock happened three years ago. The intervals between each shock are shortening. If we survive this one, it is very likely that we will have another shock in a year or even a few months. Ushering in a more dangerous situation
This is a kind of ‘elimination’.
In my opinion, it is more like a shuffle, and those worlds that are not strong enough will fall apart in the process, like a world against the world.
As for its cause, I currently have no idea. ”
"Who told you?"
Doctor Fate asked:
"I promise I won't hurt your 'informant', Batman. I just need to talk to him or her. Maybe using Thread of Destiny's origin tracing, we can find more information."
< br>
"But that's what I'm afraid of."
Bruce Wayne said coldly:
"If you also call them 'informants,' you should know that the fewer people know their identities, the better. It's not that I don't believe you."
The master looked around.
He paused, and under the meaningful gazes around him, he shook his head and said:
"Well, I don't believe you, but it's not out of malice."
"Do you trust them that much?"
Wonder Woman complained:
"Even better than trusting us?"
"Don't be provocative, don't find fault, don't say anything that's not conducive to unity, Wonder Woman!"
Dachao scolded slightly.
This time he stood on Batman's side, put his hand on the old man's shoulder and said to the others:
"It's enough to know this for now. We should trust our companion. His past actions have proven that he deserves our unconditional trust.
If Batman feels like no one else should know about this right now, then let's just shut up and stop asking.
After all, there are more important things at hand.
Just”
"Seven days!"
The master knows what Dachao wants to ask.
He took a deep breath and said:
"Within seven days, it will inevitably come, and we have to prepare for the worst. I propose to lift the ban on a batch of dangerous items for defense preparations, and the vote will begin now."
After a few minutes, the meeting adjourned.
Zatanna waited until everyone left before coming to the master's side. She stared into Bruce's eyes and whispered after a few seconds:
"Who is that guy? As John complained in bed, is he really your illegitimate son? That you are willing to do this for him?
It's amazing how much you trust someone.
Frankly, it makes me jealous. ”
"No, Xiao Zha, he has no blood relationship with me."
The master sat back in his chair, rubbed his forehead and thought about the things he had found. He sighed and said:
"Not only do I trust him, but you will soon know that he is indeed a key figure. It is really important not to expose his information in the current situation where it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe.
Just think it's for John who is now trapped. ”
"It can't be kept secret for long."
Constantine's name made Xiao Zha sigh, regretting that he fell in love with a bad man who always caused trouble for him.
She reminded in a low voice:
"Time is a clear line in the eyes of Dr. Destiny. As long as he is willing, he will find clues about that person sooner or later, not to mention that your companions have begun to doubt you.
Maybe Cyborg and Neptune will also investigate privately. ”
"I will stop them."
The master was silent for a few seconds and said in a deep voice:
"I'm ready, no one can get involved until I find the evil informant! As for the two of them, they can't find my informant.
They underestimated my collaborators. "(End of Chapter)
