Chapter 237 35. Goodbye Gotham, I will sail away tonight
Gotham City, in the afternoon, in Dr. Leslie's clinic in Crime Alley, it was less than forty minutes before the K team's scheduled operation time.
Mason estimated that his movement through the gate of the world had been captured, but the spellcasters were probably stopped by the master before they could come.
That's good.
It was just convenient for him to deal with some "private" matters before the official start of filming.
Batman should be arranging a tactical discussion plan for the spell caster and the vanguard members of the Justice League. In a sense, this tactical meeting is equivalent to Mason holding it with his enemies.
"Resign?"
Dr. Leslie, who had just spent a fulfilling day and was getting ready to pack up and get off work, looked radiant. The beauty potion from Mason made her feel like she was young again.
However, when he saw the resignation letter handed over by Mason that suddenly appeared in front of him, the cold-faced and warm-hearted doctor was still stunned.
She looked at the young man in front of her in surprise and said:
"What happened? Are you leaving Gotham?"
"More or less, because of some personal reasons that will definitely scare you when I mention them, I may have to say goodbye to this city for a while."
Mason, wearing a gray windbreaker, played with the Panama hat in his hand. He looked at the surrounding environment with a hint of regret and nostalgia and said:
"Today is my last day in the clinic. Thank you, Dr. Leslie, I have indeed spent a very fulfilling and meaningful period of my life here.
You taught me a lot.
If I could live my life over again, I hope I could spend my entire youth here. Unfortunately, there is no chance to do it over again. ”
Dr. Leslie felt a little regretful, but nodded.
Although he criticized Mason, an employee who often disappeared suddenly for several days, the doctor still felt very sorry for the amazing talent this young man showed in the field of emergency care.
If Mason wasn't a superhero and secret vigilante, he would probably be a very good and talented surgeon.
Of course, Dr. Leslie is also worried that his clinic may have to find another chef.
"It's okay for others, but Wendy will probably be very sad."
Dr. Leslie put Mason's resignation letter in her drawer, and she took a large box of "beauty potion" that Mason handed over to her in a very sensible way.
These are enough for doctors to use for more than half a year.
It was very pleasing as a parting gift and put Dr. Leslie in the mood to joke:
"You know that little girl has always admired you, but you always stayed away from her. Mason, you have your secret life, but even Batman needs Catwoman's company. You can't always refuse everyone who tries to enter you. Good girl of life.
Just like a ship drifting on the sea, there will always be a day when it returns to the dock. ”
"I know, but I am currently entering a certain dark period of life, which is too dangerous for a good girl like her. She deserves a better person, and I believe she will definitely meet him."
< br>
Mason stood up, put on his hat and said:
"Call Gordon to pick you up, doctor. It will be safer to stay at his place for the next few days. Go to bed early tonight and don't wander outside."
He glanced at the dusk outside the window and said softly:
"After a short period of time, this truly 'alive' city will probably be very uneven."
"Is it so serious?"
Dr. Leslie sensed something in Mason's words, and suddenly felt a headache and rubbed his forehead and said:
"I just felt that the security here in Crime Alley has improved a lot recently. I heard that there is a masked female vigilante with twin tails operating nearby, working with a baseball bat and being very ruthless.
Several nearby streets have been paved by her. ”
Hearing this, Mason's mouth twitched, thinking that Harley has been playing a lot lately.
He said goodbye to Leslie and walked out of the clinic wearing a hat, a windbreaker and an umbrella. As a result, he saw Wendy, a young nurse who came to the clinic to work the night shift.
The latter's cheeks turned red when she saw Mason. She stepped forward to say hello but saw Mason waving to her and saying:
"Go home quickly, little girl. Doctor Leslie just said that tonight is a special situation and you are not allowed to work overtime."
"Huh?"
The little nurse's eyes widened and she asked in a low voice:
"What happened?"
"Well, I guess there might be a shootout or something like that nearby tonight. After all, there's never been a lot of this kind of thing in Gotham."
Mason showed a gentle smile, thought for a moment, and said:
"I have to thank you for helping me during this time, Wendy, so I decided to give you a gift. It's already hidden in your car. Go get it."
Hearing this, the little nurse's face turned redder.
She thought this was because her feelings were finally realized by the sunny and handsome little brother Mason. When the clouds cleared and the moon came out, she hurried back to her car with anticipation.
There was a brochure on the driver's seat.
It was the "Midnight Doctor First Aid Manual" that Mason bought in the trading yard of the Club of Stars, as well as a farewell letter.
Wendy, who was sitting in the car, burst into tears after reading the letter.
The poor good girl's relationship ended in vain, and there was another sad person in this chaotic city tonight.
Ah, damn the evil alchemist Mason who is planning to beat up the Justice League, rescue his friends, and then fly away, is such a sinful guy.
——
"Hi, Mason! You will never guess what I just saw! There was a very cute and gentle nurse sitting in the car on the back corner of the road crying.
He said he was abandoned by the bastard he had a crush on.
What a hateful guy, don't let me catch him or I'll give him a few slaps.
She was so brave and dared to park alone near here, and almost got pestered. I even treated her to ice cream and taught her a lesson to the gangster who tried to harass her, which made her feel better.
Her name is Wendy!
We even left each other’s contact information! Why are you packing? Going on vacation? ”
More than 20 minutes later, in Mason's shop, Harley, the new "masked vigilante" and the saleswoman of Cooper's shop, happily returned from "inspecting the territory" with a blood-stained baseball bat. Quinn knew something was up when she saw Mason packing his things.
Later, after her questioning, she heard the news that Mason was leaving.
But unlike the sad little nurse Wendy, Mason's "patient" behaved quite calmly.
There was even some cheering.
"Huh? You have finally made up your mind to leave this terrible city. Okay, when do we leave? Do you need me to pack a few more clothes? Do you need to bring beach shorts and a bikini?
Can we go somewhere with a beach? ”
She casually threw away the baseball bat in her hand, ran to the closet on the second floor and started rummaging through her messy clothes, with an expression like "I will go wherever Mason goes."
Seeing this attitude of relying on "Mr. K" gave Mason a headache.
He persuaded:
"You can't go where you want to go. Harley, you stay here. Ivy may come back in a few days. You don't want your best friend to be alone in Gotham, right?"
< br>
"But my disease is not cured yet!"
Harley's increasingly shrill voice came from the second floor, and she said with anger:
"How can you, a doctor, be so irresponsible? You promised you would cure me!"
"Ivy can make all the medicines you need to take for a long time. You don't need me anymore."
As soon as Mason started speaking, a gunshot rang out from the second floor.
The flying kinetic energy bullets grazed Mason's feet and hit the ground. The bricks and stones bounced twice and shattered a bottle of aromatic potion on the shelf, filling the shop with fragrance.
"So you want to abandon me?"
Harley Quinn, brandishing a pink girl's telekinetic revolver, stood on the edge of the second floor. She pointed the muzzle of the gun at her chin and cried:
"Mr. J abandoned me, and now Mr. K wants to drive me away. I must have done something bad! There is probably no need for me to continue living after such a failure.
Goodbye, Mr. K.
Goodbye, this bad world."
"Stop it, little drama queen, there's only one bullet in that gun. I just checked it."
Mason covered his head and said:
"Okay, okay, I will take you to that new place. I can arrange for you and Ivy to continue to partner and give you a new job, but Harley, this is your own choice. Don't worry about any danger you encounter in the future. Complain to me.”
"No! You haven't said the most important thing yet!"
Harley Quinn dropped a weird stuffed bear stuffed with bombs on the second floor and she screamed:
"You have to promise!"
"Okay, I promise, I will continue to be your attending physician."
Mason became even more tired. He raised his wrist and looked at the time. The communicator in his ear came with one "in position" signal after another, which made him let out a sigh of relief.
Then he raised his head, waved to Harley who smiled widely and started humming again, then turned around to pack her clothes, and said:
"Now come down and let's go have a meal. I'm too lazy to cook tonight, so let's go out to eat. After all, you have to eat before you can go on the road."
"Yeah! First date with Mr. K."
When Harley heard that Mason was going to take her out for dinner, she immediately cheered and the clothes in her hands were thrown everywhere.
"This is not a date, forget it, do whatever makes you happy."
Mason wanted to explain, but when he saw Harley grabbing the unloaded pistol again, he waved his hand and gave up the intention of explaining or correcting.
The two of them went out and rode their beloved scooters through the streets. They got off at a famous nearby restaurant and ordered a table full of dishes.
Harley, who was in a good mood, couldn't stop talking while eating. Her unique high-pitched voice was indeed a bit noisy at first, but once you get used to it, it feels strange.
In particular, she is always grinning and can easily infect the mood of those around her.
She described to Mason the interesting things she had encountered, and Mason nodded repeatedly while eating, just to relieve his boredom and relieve the pressure of the upcoming war.
Ten minutes later, Mason, who had just rejected the cherry cake that Halle so kindly brought to his lips, suddenly put down his knife and fork, frowned, picked up his flip phone that was constantly vibrating in his pocket, and took a look at the number.
Good guy!
This is the first time I have seen a 23-digit number in my life. What kind of black technology is this for cross-world communication? He didn't remember leaking his number to such a powerful person.
Alas, the leakage of phone numbers will lead to telecommunications fraud and other scams that are really hard to guard against.
Can't you just enjoy this farewell dinner quietly and happily with a crazy but pleasing beautiful girl?
"Hello?"
He put the phone to his ear and said:
"Who?"
"Mason, the 'guests' you invited will enter your world in about ten minutes, and I will send them near your shop in Crime Alley."
Xili knocked on the table, picked up the application information in front of her, and read in a straight and clear manner:
"Their team configuration is 2 senior B-level members leading 14 B-level personnel and 32 C-level personnel, all of whom are high-level spellcasters certified by the Star Castle Adventure Guild.
If you include all the weird props in their hands, then this is already the weight of an advance team that can explore the A-level world head-on and establish a 'safe zone' in it.
I hope you are prepared for this.
Of course, I have also prepared their accidental death report. You'd better give me a reasonable reason to spend less time on this fooling people.
Finally, I just read the battle summary sent back to me by the Draman program. Instead of killing Colypso, you recruited her into your team.
What a bold act.
But I still have to confirm, have you got Colypso's divinity? ”
"Well, it's in my hands, being studied by my companions."
As Mason spoke, he smiled at Harley, who was dressed very ladylike across the table. Harley, who was peeking at Mason's phone call, quickly wiped her mouth and responded with a sweet and perfect smile.
He lowered his head and said to the other end of the phone:
"But it seems that your superiors haven't told you what happened there yet. To avoid making a fuss to you, Ciri, I have to tell you in advance that we killed all the invading mad dogs there and also took down a conqueror."
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
After a while, hunter Xili sighed and said:
"Every time I think I have reached the limit of Team K, you will use a bolt from the blue to show me what you are capable of. Well, it seems I have to raise my expectations for you again.
However, it is not a problem for Team K to keep such a low profile. Even if you keep causing unplanned things, even if someone helps you cover it up, sooner or later someone will find out about it.
How about this, after you hand in your divinity, I will arrange for you to enter the B-level promotion mission? In this way, you can be promoted in a legitimate way. ”
"B-level promotion mission"
A flash of lightning flashed in Mason's heart, then he narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, and said:
"Absolutely! But the time is up to me, okay? Also, do you remember my last suggestion? If your superior asks you to do something again, remember to discuss it with me in advance.
At least in the current situation where we both trust each other, it would be a good thing to provide you with another way of thinking, right? ”
"Let's talk about this later."
Mr. Hunter obviously avoided this topic.
But she did not reject Mason's proposal, but reminded:
"I won't ask you again who gave you the transfer door in your hand, Mason, but be careful when coming into contact with those people, you are 'unique' and you may not realize it yet.
Maybe that's why they reached out to you.
If you have any trouble recently, please call me.
But it's best not to get into trouble. ”
"Received, my superior, thank you for your concern and will contact you later."
Mason set his watch for a 10-minute countdown, then reached out to the waiter in the restaurant to pay the bill, and at the same time whispered to the other side of the phone:
"In this precarious moment, please take care of yourself."
Ps:
The busy New Year has finally come to an end, and now it’s time to devote myself to the endless coding business. I feel like I’m even busier during the New Year than at ordinary times.
Say something happy.
