Chapter 224 22. Now please explain to Batman what a fucking surprise is!
In the familiar light and shadow, Mason and his team returned directly to the secret base of Miller Harbor in Gotham.
It's not that they don't want to go to Osborne Tower to join the remnants of the Caribbean world, but because of the impact of the impact incident, the World Gate is temporarily unable to open a passage to any other world except the base world.
When Mason lowered his head to look at the brass door handle, he found, as expected, that two world coordinates on it had been permanently dimmed.
It seems that the world of Hogwarts has not been immune to this impact.
What a shame.
"Let's take a rest first. After the impact of the impact has passed, we will go to Osborne Tower to join Selina and the others. Why don't we see Charles and Ivy?
They should be waiting for us here. ”
Mason looked around.
He saw some black dirt residue, which should have been brought back from the Hogwarts world by his other two team members.
Without thinking too much, he just whispered to Zha Kang, who was still able to move, and asked him to look around and contact Kite Man and Poison Ivy.
He arranged Barbara and Ertong on the bed in this secret base, gave them medicine to let them rest, and took out Barbara's separation chip.
"I used the program Judy gave me to trap the evil data body in Bizarro's mind."
The sick bat girl put a bag of ice cubes on her forehead and said to Mason:
"You can use my microcomputer to talk to it, but you can only trap it for 12 hours before it expires and we need to move it to a more secure data 'cage'.
Judy should have dedicated data equipment there. ”
"Well, I know, you should take a rest first and don't think too much."
Mason put away the hot separation chip and took off the microcomputer from Barbara's wrist, which was also from the 2077 era. He dragged Bizarro, the prisoner he brought back to this world, into a separate room inside the container. In the cubicle.
I plan to treat this unfortunate prisoner first.
Although the Kryptonian clone is still very vital, this guy was penetrated by the dangerous Alice sword for several hours, and his vital signs are already extremely weak.
"There is no soul curse on this conqueror."
When Mason pulled out the Alice Saber from Bizarro's zombie-like body and bandaged him urgently to stop the bleeding, the Sorting Hat, which had remained silent, said to Mason:
"It seems that only members of your Association of Stars will be marked with that cursed tattoo. Members of other organizations have their own methods of traveling through the world."
"But the coordinate system of the World Gate is their positioning when traveling through the worlds, and this will not change."
While Mason poured a bottle of healing potion into the unconscious Bizarro's mouth to help him heal his wounds, while checking the guy's physical condition, he shook his head and said:
"So the World Gate itself and Lord Destiny are still the core of the problem, and the matter is not over until they are solved. So, next we have to think about how to win over Ciri. Even the new member Norman can see that It won’t be good if she continues to insist on the problem of Quint Club.”
"You should keep a low profile."
The Sorting Hat reminds:
"This Quint Club doesn't seem to be a friendly group. If you plan to use each other's excuses with them, you have to be 'friendly' for the time being, and do less things like this that are obviously not in line with their style."
"I'll try my best."
Mason nodded and said:
"It's really annoying to deal with these 'reformists'. They always hope to reverse the situation through tinkering. This style is really unpleasant."
"It's not about style, my brother."
The Isu ghost Consus reminded at this moment:
"The problem is choice!
If they can't come up with an answer to deal with the impact, they naturally have no other choice. In this case, asking them to completely abandon the system constructed by the Star Society is equivalent to letting them tie their hands and wait for death in despair.
If you want to completely eliminate the Star Club, you have to give them a new choice.
You have to come up with a solution to the problem. ”
"Then it's too difficult for you, a C-level employee like me."
Mason pouted and said:
"If I could have a solution, why would I need to play this kind of hidden game that makes people unhappy? I also hope that a group of gods-like guys will suddenly jump out and help me solve all this.
However, no god can save us in these dark times.
They can't even save themselves.
Gods have their own difficulties, and people have their own tasks.”
This answer silenced both consciousnesses in Mason.
A few minutes later, Mason took off his blood-stained medical gloves and confirmed that the worst injury of the zombie superman in front of him was not the penetrated body.
His super self-healing allows such penetrating injuries to heal quickly. The real trouble lies in his brain.
Barbara used a hacking program to burn out the "smart components" in the guy's brain, which was like detonating a bomb in Bizarro's brain.
Even though the Kryptonian brain is tough enough and has the ability to heal itself, this kind of horrific injury cannot be solved by self-healing.
"He has now had a third of his brain cut off."
As the Isu ghost Consus hovers beside Mason, the top biologist says:
"We can't wait until he heals himself. This kind of injury is probably fatal to all races except Kryptonians. No, it is also fatal to Kryptonians!
It's just that the sample in front of me is a bit special.
Presumably in order to better control it, the Cleaners made some modifications to his brain, which allowed him to survive the explosion of the prosthetic overheating.
But the skull must be opened immediately, my brother.
Get out those broken pieces of metal, or he'll die soon. ”
"Are you going to open this guy's head?"
Mason suddenly felt a little numb, he curled his lips and said:
"Then we need a piece of blue kryptonite to temporarily strip him of his steel body, otherwise even a laser cutting machine will not be able to cut through his titanium alloy head.
I do have green kryptonite in my hand, but I have no idea how to convert green kryptonite into blue kryptonite. Maybe I can get some help from the master?
He has always been very interested in things that can beat up his own people. ”
"Or, you can ask the guy who has been controlling this zombie superman."
A blurry human face protruded from the hat that Mason placed next to him, saying:
"Can't you read that chip?"
"Well, this is also a way."
Mason nodded and glanced at Zombie Superman, who was still in pain in a coma.
He inserted the separation chip in his hand into Barbara's microcomputer, and the moment he turned on the start button, a grumpy voice sounded from it.
The guy shouted:
"Let me out! No, this damn data hell! Damn unknown AI! I curse you!"
"Shut up, Arnim Zola!"
Mason scolded in a cold voice:
"I ask you, do you want to live?"
"Can I still live?"
The former evil Hydra scientist who was besieged by the exiled data beings from the 2077 era also had some backbone. Even when he was suppressed, he responded sarcastically:
"Don't be ridiculous! You traitors, I have seen the destruction of countless worlds. Wherever I appear, everyone there wants me to die suddenly on the spot.
So do you.
You are a bunch of traitors.
If you want to keep your secrets, you will naturally not be able to survive.
Do you think I'm the kind of fool who can be persuaded by hope? ”
"Well said, but I'm not kidding."
Mason looked seriously at the weird face built from data that appeared on the microcomputer screen in front of him, and he said:
"I'm not afraid to tell you that the Stars Association and I have never been on the same path. Rather than going all the way to the dark side, I prefer to have other choices at critical moments.
If you're cooperative enough, I can hand you over to those superheroes in my world, who I assure you are a bunch of 'humanitarians'.
You will be imprisoned and perhaps tortured.
But you won't die.
The premise is that you don't seek death yourself. ”
"You want to use me as a 'gift'? Bastard!"
Mason's answer made Dr. Zola, who had already transformed himself into some kind of strange data consciousness, frown. As smart as he was, he immediately understood Mason's plan.
This cunning guy bounced a few lines of data ripples on the screen and said with a sly smile:
"You want to use me to wash away the stains on your body in order to regain their trust? Do you believe in your world that much? Even after witnessing the truth of the impact, you still feel that your world Can we survive crisis after crisis without relying on us? ”
"I can answer you, yes!"
Mason said casually:
"Compared to the Society of Stars, I believe in my world more than you. Considering that I may have a showdown with them soon, a handy 'gift' is a must.
Now I leave the choice to you, Arnim Zola.
You choose.
As far as I know your past stories, you shouldn’t have any psychological pressure on repeatedly jumping sideways, right? First jump from Mustache to Red Skull, then jump from Red Skull to S.H.I.E.L.D., and finally jump from S.H.I.E.L.D. back to Hydra.
Compared to us, you are the human embodiment of the word ‘traitor’. ”
"Haha, you are really a strange little guy."
Dr. Rizola, who was trapped in the separation chip, made a weird laugh and said:
"Looking at all the worlds, there are very few people with half-hearted thoughts like you. I need time to think about it, and I remind you."
He suddenly turned down the volume on his computer and said in a subtle way:
"You want to save that idiot Superman, right? I know how to make blue kryptonite, but I can't tell you now unless"
"Mason! I found Ivy, but you have to come and take a look! She's not feeling right."
Zha Kang's shout sounded outside the cubicle, and Mason frowned.
Amidst Dr. Zola's screams, he turned off the microcomputer and walked out quickly. Then he saw the lost Poison Ivy sitting in the corner of the secret base, covering her face with her hands and not knowing what she was thinking.
"Where is Charles?"
Mason walked up to Poison Ivy and patted her shoulder, handed her a glass of demulcent to calm her down, and asked again:
"Is he okay?"
"He"
Poison Ivy took the palliative with some trembling. She was obviously shocked and confused after witnessing the end of the world. Facing Mason's question, Ivy drank the potion in her hand and then raised her head to look at him. .
Those green eyes sparkled with anxiety.
She grabbed Mason's hand and said:
"He was captured! In order to save me, Charles attracted those guys, but he captured me! The door didn't resume operation until the world collapsed. I tried my best to block the sword of the female demigod. I I almost didn't run out.
Go and save him! ”
"Don't be impatient. Speak slowly. What's going on?"
Mason frowned and asked:
"Who captured Charles?"
"Justice League!"
Poison Ivy stood up angrily, waved her hands and said in a confused voice:
"Superman and Wonder Woman fell out of the sky towards us as we were delivering the potion and seeds into the apartment and back here.
But they came too fast, and we couldn't escape intact.
Charles asked me to go first.
He was very brave, but... I struggled to withstand Wonder Woman's attack before escaping back. I tried to reopen the door but couldn't. Some power was interfering with me. ”
"Wait!"
Mason took a few seconds to sort out Poison Ivy's somewhat confusing description. He widened his eyes and said:
"You said Superman appeared in the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts? Is the Justice League all gone?"
"Yes! Wonder Woman, Superman and Batman, they are all here!"
Poison Ivy gritted her teeth and said:
"I can see it very clearly, it's the Batman we are familiar with. He is wearing strange clothes, he"
Mason was horrified.
He turned around and rushed out of the secret base. Together with Zha Kang and the others, he stood in the night sky of Miller Harbor and looked up at the sky.
There is nothing there.
"John!"
Mason shouted with a serious face, and Zha Kang also realized that the problem was serious.
Holding the trident and resisting fatigue, he snapped his fingers and sprinkled some green fluorescence into the eyes of his companions, allowing them to penetrate the global illusion barrier set up by the casters of this world and see what existed in the real night sky. everything.
In the starry sky, the ruins of a world are suspended above the sky.
They were the only remaining ruins of a destroyed celestial body, spread across the entire night sky like suspended broken rocks, and the remaining main body of the continental shelf was being pushed away from the sea of stars bit by bit.
"Hogwarts!"
Mason looked at the gravel scattered above the sky and muttered something to himself.
"What?"
Zha Kang beside him blew out a smoke ring in surprise and said:
"Isn't Hogwarts ruined?"
"It's destroyed, and it's right in front of our eyes. It's what should have collided with our world! The Justice League destroyed that world ahead of time.
This is really a fucking joke. ”
Mason pointed to the floating fragments of the world above his head and said to Zha Kang, whose expression changed greatly:
"The worst thing now is that Charles didn't run away when he was escorting Poison Ivy away, and they captured him, right there! Among the stars."
"Fuck! It's over!"
The cigarette in Zha Kang's mouth fell to the ground. This guy was overwhelmed by this "surprise", and the first time he reacted was to turn around and rush back to the secret base.
He said to Mason:
"Quick! Pack up everything and leave! Kite Man can't keep a secret. Even if he could, Wonder Woman's rope can make him say everything he should and should not say.
It’s not a matter of willpower at all.
We will soon be exposed.
No, he doesn't need to say anything at all. Batboy knows the relationship between you and him very well.
It's over.
Something slipped up! ”
"Hurry up! Don't run away! Give me some dignity!"
Mason slammed Zha Kang against the container next to him. He stared at him fiercely, and then looked back at the others beside him.
He took a deep breath and said:
"Anyway, I had planned to have a showdown with the Justice League after this matter was over. This matter has not yet gotten out of hand. We can't leave Charles behind!
We have to fish him out before we leave this world! ”
"Are you risking your life to steal people from the Justice League?"
Zha Kang screamed:
"With the strength of our current group of defeated soldiers, even if Dachao gives us one hand and two feet, we can't beat him!"
"We must save Charles!"
Mason stared at Zha Kang and said word by word:
"I'm not asking for your opinion, John! We have to do this, and I would do the same if you were the one who got caught. Remember our previous conversation on Turtle Island?
I won’t allow anyone from Team K to become the ‘price’!
I wasn't kidding.
Not even now! ”
He let go of Zha Kang.
The latter held a cigarette in his mouth and even though he was cursing, he didn't mention running away again. Perhaps he sensed Mason's determination and knew that this had to be done.
Mason looked back at the other people who were silent. He took out his mobile phone and said:
"You go to Spider-Man and wait for me first. We need a plan. I'll be there after I make a call."
Captain Jack glanced at him and helped Barbara turn towards the secret base. The weak Colypso also patted the complaining Zha Kang on the shoulder and motioned for him to help him back under the container.
When Mason was the only one left, he opened his flip phone and looked at the emergency contact number saved in it. After a few seconds of silence, Mason cursed in a low voice and pressed the dial button.
The beeping connection sound lasted for a long time before the connection was connected, and the voice was as low and hoarse as ever.
"Mason?"
"Blues"
Mason held the phone to his ear.
He raised his head in the night wind and looked at the wreckage of the world in the starry sky. He rubbed his aching forehead and whispered:
"Is the scenery in the Forbidden Forest okay?" (End of Chapter)
