Chapter 218 16. Intermission·Captain Single Dog’s Care for the Team Members: Kite and Vine
"Boss! Hello? Boss, can you hear me? Something happened here at Hogwarts. If you can hear this message, please take care of it."
The voice of Kite Man Charles echoed among the trees in the Forbidden Forest, with a hint of despair and helplessness, but his seventh call to Mason still received no answer and could only be transferred to a message.
"Don't try. The current situation should be interfering with cross-world communications."
Seeing that Kite Man was planning to make another phone call, Poison Ivy, who was busy doing something next to him, said without looking back:
"You have time to feel sorry for yourself, why don't you come over and help? I have to dig out this seed and take it away."
"Are you sure you can still leave?"
Kite Man complained.
But he still quickly stepped forward and picked up a shovel to help. The two "marginal people" of Team K were now trapped in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts.
There is a strange problem with the door to the world at hand, and it cannot be opened no matter what.
As for the reason.
Poison Ivy raised her head and glanced at the sky. On the sky above her head, the projection of a world was becoming clearer with every passing second.
And the earth beneath her feet was mourning.
Just like what is happening in the Caribbean world at this time, this long-dead world is collapsing, collapsing from within.
There is no Poseidon here who fights in desperation and still gets the help of a group of young pioneers, and there is no doomsday calling machine for this world to use to summon the abnormal Uncle Tun to eat the threats above his head.
This world that once gave birth to mysterious magic and countless magical creatures has reached the end of its time.
And the only people left to accompany it through this journey are a woman who can control plants and a third-rate villain who seems unsteady because he has his son in mind.
"There must be something wrong with this!"
The kite man complained while wielding his shovel to dig down the soil:
"The boss said that this impact will only interfere with the spatial structure of the parallel world at the last moment. It is still brewing now. Some bastards on the opposite planet must have done something to trap us here."
Poison Ivy didn't answer.
This girl wearing a green dress, with strange scales on her face and long fiery red hair was kneeling on the edge of the pit dug by the kite man. She closed her eyes and seemed to be communicating with the will of this mysterious forest.
She is searching for something beneath the apocalypse.
"Just down there, keep digging, Charles, I can feel the seed."
She urged:
"The Forbidden Forest knew the world was coming to an end.
It has transferred its life force to this seed. As long as we can take it away from here and plant it in other worlds, it can be reborn after the end.
This is its last gift to us. ”
"The gift of fart."
The kite man, who looked up from time to time and saw a lot of reflections of the world above his head, said unhappily:
"I think it's more like asking for help. It knows it's going to end, and it also knows we can cross the world, so it's asking for help. If I had known the situation here was so bad, I should have stayed in the Caribbean with the boss.
How much worse could it be? ”
"You seem to be relying on Mason."
Although Kite Man's words were rude, Poison Ivy had to admit that he was right. This was indeed a desperate attempt to survive in the mysterious forest of the Forbidden Forest.
She raised her head and looked at the fat man in front of her, frowned and said:
"In your eyes, he is omnipotent?"
"Well, he's not omnipotent. The boss can be stubborn and difficult to deal with sometimes, but at least he has a plan no matter what he faces. Unlike the two of us who can only pray for mercy from fate."
The kite man curled his lips and said:
"You know how great it is to have someone who can stabilize the situation in this situation, right? Speaking of which, why did you agree to join Team K?"
He looked at Poison Ivy and asked in confusion:
"With the boss's character, he must have told you these things before inviting you, right? I think normal people would stay away from this mess like Qunxinghui, right?
Don't say you need his potion.
I haven't seen you take medicine during the time you've been here. You've returned to normal. ”
"This matter is very complicated, and you won't understand it even if I explain it to you."
It was difficult for Poison Ivy to explain the concept of "all things green" to Charles in this situation. She could only say vaguely:
"I also joined you with a certain mission. This has something to do with Mason, but it has little to do with it."
Kite Man shrugged and asked no more questions, and continued digging downwards. Soon his shovel touched a hard object, and he and Poison Ivy jumped into the pit together and carefully dug out the object.
It was a seed, a petrified gray seed the size of a human head.
The moment Poison Ivy took it away from the ground, as the two stared in shock, the surrounding trees began to wither quickly.
The towering trees that had grown for nearly a thousand years began to suddenly shed their leaves, and their spreading branches also broke off with overwhelming sounds.
The forest that was originally full of natural atmosphere seemed to be stained with "gray", and the gray wave centered on the two people began to spread rapidly to the surroundings.
It's dying.
When the end of the world comes, it dies at an unimaginable speed, and the seeds in Poison Ivy's hands seem like some evil thing is sucking the life force of this forest.
It changed rapidly from a petrified appearance to a lush green one.
This scene made Kite Man open his mouth slightly. He glanced at Poison Ivy who was also surprised next to him. This was an expression he rarely saw on the face of this first-line villain.
I have to say that Poison Ivy in this confused state is actually quite cute after she loses her aura as a villain.
Charles didn't know what he was thinking of. He suddenly laughed twice, attracting Ivy's attention. She held the Forbidden Forest seeds and looked at her companions in surprise, saying:
"What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing."
Kite Man waved his hands and whispered while following Poison Ivy towards their temporary stronghold:
"I just remembered something that the boss always said before. Whether you believe it or not, the boss always feels that something will happen between you and me. He is so sure every time that he seems to have seen it with his own eyes."
< br>
"So?"
Ivy asked expressionlessly:
"Do you think so too?"
"No, I know about you and Catwoman. That matter has been spread throughout the Gotham villain circle. For a while, the villain forum was full of pornographic articles about you and Selina.
Ahem, a gentleman like me has never seen it. ”
Kite Man looked at it clearly, spread his hands and winked and said to Poison Ivy:
"If I were a woman maybe I would have a chance, right?"
"Hum"
Ivy made an indifferent nasal sound from her nostrils and said nothing.
But soon, as the two approached Old K's three-story building, she suddenly sensed danger from the warning signs of the rapidly dying forest trees around her.
Without any time to say anything, he grabbed the kite man next to him and rushed into the room. Then a large number of vines rotated to hide the building.
At the same time, in the sky above the Forbidden Forest, several small black dots were quickly passing through the "membrane" between the reflections of the two worlds. They were wearing very strange things similar to space suits, which allowed them to collide in the world. Crossed the boundary between two worlds before.
"Cyborg, report the scan situation."
Bruce Wayne controlled this suit specially prepared for this crisis to float in the sky. While he was vigilantly observing the strange world in front of him, he said to the people left behind on the other side:
"By the way, start the earth's nuclear destruction device and start preheating."
"Wait a moment, the life matter detector on your suit is turning on. I need some time to analyze the institutions of the target world."
Cyborg's voice sounded from the communication, and he asked:
"Superman, can you hear something worthy of attention?"
"No!"
Da Chao is also wearing the same style of battle uniform as Master.
In this strange world, he no longer suppressed his super hearing. He closed his eyes and quickly understood everything about the world.
He said:
"No one in this world is talking. I only heard the roar of the zombies and the loud noise of the collapse of the continental shelf. It was destroyed, and it didn't happen recently.
Doctor Fate's magic seems accurate, he says this is a dead world. ”
"Check again."
The old man beside Da Chao whispered:
"That might be a lie made up by the magician so that we would have no pressure when destroying this place."
"But now I hope what he said is true."
Wonder Woman, flying in the air, carried a sword and shield on her back, observing the strange world beneath her feet from a demigod's perspective. The expression on her face was not very happy, she just said in a slightly thankful voice:
"At least this saves us from having to bear the debt of conscience. If there are living people everywhere here, I'm afraid we won't be able to come up with an outcome when the world collides.
Deciding to destroy a world full of life would definitely split the Justice League on the spot.
I can make up my mind, but first we won't be able to pass the Clark level. ”
"You're thinking exactly what they want you to think, Diana."
The master shook his head and said mutely:
"This is an ethical trap. When we determined to destroy the first world to ensure our own safety, we began to slip in the direction of those villains.
Haven't you ever thought about their intention of spreading viruses throughout the parallel world?
If there are all living people here, we can't do anything.
But what if there were monsters here"
Batman shook his head and said with disgust:
"However, once you cross that line, you are nothing short of evil."
"Wait! I heard the voice was a voice. There are still living people here! Just down there!"
Dachao suddenly shouted, making the master and Wonder Woman next to him immediately awed, and then the three giants immediately landed on the strange gray forest below.
And Cyborg's report also sounded at this time.
He said:
"The earth's nuclear bombs are ready. We need to remove the energy suppression on the target world before we can send them into the predetermined target depth, thereby completing a world dismantling.
Let me know when you're ready. ”
"Batman! You have to make a decision quickly."
A few seconds later, Dr. Destiny's serious voice also sounded in the communicator, and he warned:
"The pressure of the intersection of worlds is suppressing the defensive magic we have deployed, and the power of the blending of the two planes is strengthening. In up to twenty minutes, the solid barrier we have deployed on our homeland will be shattered.
By then, the doomsday impact will also trigger global earthquakes and tsunamis on our side. ”
"We found a living person here! Doc."
Dachao immediately retorted:
"There is a problem with your magic prediction. There is still life in this world. The plan needs to be changed! We can't just do this"
"That's not from that world, Superman!"
Doctor Fate reminds:
"They may come from other worlds like us, and they are likely to be one of those invaders. Perhaps the energy suppression we released cut off their escape route.
Catch them!
Bring him back for interrogation. As for the plan to be postponed?
No!
I refuse. You are betting on our world. In twenty minutes, regardless of whether you reach an agreement or not, I will take action.
The heroes remaining in the watchtower have just gone through a round of secret voting, and I think you can guess the results without me telling you. ”
"I"
Dachao was speechless for a while.
The man next to him patted his shoulder and gestured to Wonder Woman who grabbed the sword and shield. The woman immediately held the shield forward and strode towards the strange house entangled with vines.
But the further they went, the more clearly they saw the characteristics of the house, the weirder the master's expression became.
He swore.
He must have seen this house before!
Mason
Is that you inside? ——
"Death, death, death!"
The Kite Man who was hiding in Old K's three-story apartment had put on vulture wings and entered a fully armed state, but the ability to observe the situation outside the house through an optically invisible drone made him look desperate and confused. gray.
Although the three men were wearing spacesuit-like suits, their features were too obvious, especially the guy who was wearing a spacesuit and had a bat-shaped logo on his helmet
Hello!
Batboy! Don't think that I won't recognize you after you change your vest.
"Which world is the Zhenglian Big Three in? How could we meet them here? Damn it! Could it be that the world opposite is about to collide?"
He was nervous.
Poison Ivy behind him was even more nervous.
Ivy used the activated vines to carry the seeds behind her back, and desperately tried to twist the brass handle of the door to the world.
But the "tremor" of the world getting closer has begun to really affect the operation of this door. Coupled with the energy suppression projected by Doctor Fate and a group of spellcasters on the world, this door cannot be opened at this critical moment.
It's like being "cut off" when you are in high spirits, which makes people with "weapons" despair.
"People inside listen!"
Wonder Woman held her sword and shield and shouted in the harvested potion field outside the house:
"You have been surrounded! Put down your weapons and come out immediately! We guarantee your safety! If you resist stubbornly, you will be responsible for the consequences!"
"Hey, how do you think I can beat Superman?"
Kite Man, who had been extremely nervous at this critical moment, suddenly calmed down. Probably realizing that there was no way to escape gave him a surge of courage.
He took out his son's photo from the secret compartment of his flying wing, put it to his lips and kissed it, then took out the strengthening pill given by his boss, and finally looked back at Poison Ivy, who looked ugly.
He said:
"I'll go out and lure them away. You stay here and wait for the World Gate to be activated again. If they want to send weapons over, they will definitely weaken the suppression. That's your chance.
Take that seed back.
That thing is very impressive at first glance, and the boss will be able to use it. ”
"You're crazy!"
Ivy scolded:
"Wake up! Charles, you are only a third-tier villain in Gotham, and now you want to pull down the Big Three? Superman can crush you to death with just a sneeze.
Don't go out, stay here.
If I activate the vitality of this seed, I can still fight with them, at least to delay it for some time. ”
"It's useless."
The kite man placed the photo of his son close to his body and sighed:
"This is a matter of life and death, and there is not much time left for them. They can't delay it. I'm just Ivy. You said, we are indeed doing good things, right?"
"You asked me?"
Poison Ivy pouted and said:
"How long have I joined you? I don't even know what you have done before. You should answer this question for me."
"Then I would say we are doing good things!"
Kite Man patted his chest and started the battle program of the vulture flying wings. Amid the loud noise of two large, two small and four turboprops, a strong wind filled the small three-story area.
A series of flying wings made of steel bounced off the huge aircraft behind him. He put his funny green flying hat on his head and put on a pair of magic goggles.
Like a pilot on an expedition, he turned back to Poison Ivy and said:
"You must go back alive, tell the boss what happened here, and help me take care of my son. The boss said that something will definitely happen between us.
You see, I'm going to die, so I'm going to take the liberty.
Can you please be my child's stepmother after I die?
You look pretty good. ”
He grinned, pretended to be cool and made a farewell gesture, and said:
"If the people on the other side were really those people we are familiar with, I might not necessarily die. The boss has always said that he and Batboy have some tacit understanding.
And even in the worst-case scenario, keeping you is more useful than keeping me. You can do more for the boss, but this is the end of my life.
Anyway, goodbye, Ivy.
Say hello to the boss for me. ”
Then with a loud explosion, the entire wall exploded. A cool aircraft rushed towards the three giants with a dense number of drones. During the wild bombing, the kite man yelled provocation:
"I am the king of villains in Gotham! Let's compete with the Justice League in Geneva!" (End of Chapter)
