Chapter 249 47. Batman, you have done all the bad things!
A scream came from the dim sewer, causing Zatanna to shrink her neck while standing at the entrance.
The kind-hearted white wizard turned around and wanted to throw a detection magic at the entrance of the sewer behind him to see the situation of Black Adam, but was immediately stopped by Harley Quinn who was "makeup" her weapon next to her.
Harley, who was still in a good mood tonight, shook her twin ponytails and used nail polish to paint on the black pistol that Mason gave her, trying to transform it into a "beautiful look" that would suit a girl's heart.
"Xiao Zha, don't look at the good boy!"
She shook her head and leaned against the wall of the sewer entrance of Naihe Island, threw a piece of bubble gum into her mouth and chewed it, and used her sharp and energetic voice to dissuade:
"My little sweetheart, if I don't want you to look at me, just close your eyes. Be good and you won't get beaten."
"Just you?"
Zatanna pouted.
She played with her magic wand and brushed her long, straight black hair, and said to Harry:
"If it weren't for John's sake, I would have thrown you into the lightless sea when you held me hostage just now. Don't mess with the magician, little girl."
"Pa"
Harley responded by blowing a big pink bubble, then chewing it again after it broke.
Apparently he didn't care about Xiao Zha's threat.
A few minutes later, Mason's shaky figure appeared at the sewer entrance.
Harley cheered and rushed forward to support the cute and powerful Mr. K. She also helped him drag the weak and unconscious Black Adam out of the sewers by his cloak, and kicked the king of Khandak into the sewer next to him. In the sewage ditch.
Mason himself still looked weak as he kept coughing and would collapse at any time, but the black ring on his left hand was now strangely emitting small balls of lightning.
It's like reminiscing about the "delicious food" I just devoured.
The divine taste of "seven-in-one" makes the Black Death Sword want to stop. If it weren't for Mason's obstruction, it would definitely eat Black Adam whole, not even a scum left.
This scene frightened Zatanna.
She couldn't understand how Mason did it, but she knew full well how powerful Black Adam was. If Mason could easily deal with the Magic King, then rushing up to him would just be a meal.
Reason made her give up the violent struggle, which made Mason breathe a sigh of relief.
He and Harley were in such a state of desolation now that if Zha gritted his teeth and came forward, they would have no chance of escaping and would have no choice but to become desperate mandarin ducks in the dark cell of the Mystery House.
But that's not a bad thing.
Maybe if you live in the dark cell of the Mystery House for a long time, you will meet another wise and brave guy named "Mei".
Anyway, luckily the white wizard was frightened.
Mason sat on the stone next to Harry with the support of Harry. He took out a bottle of Brown Owl and drank it to rejuvenate himself, while holding the Sorting Hat on his head and rubbing it in his hand.
He said:
"I killed Igor, but you don't seem as excited and happy as last time. Hat, I can feel that since you learned from Professor McGonagall that there are still a group of young wizards alive, you seem to care about more than just revenge. Something happened.
At least not as enthusiastic as before. ”
Faced with Mason's inquiry, the hat was not hidden, but a blurry human face protruded from the outside, and he replied:
"When you have nothing, you can always risk it, because existence and results have no meaning to you, but hope is a wonderful thing.
It can turn a coward into a warrior overnight, and it can also help a frustrated avenger return to reason. ”
The hat paused and said:
"I admit that now I want those poor children who escaped the end of the world to live a new life in a new world more than to shed cold blood.
You helped Peter Parker and his world, you saved Jack Sparrow and his last people from the flames of the apocalypse.
You are a truly kind person.
Not only do you have a kind heart, but you also have the means to practice kindness.
Mason Cooper, I ask you as the Fourth Wizard Reverb, are you interested in becoming the Honorary Headmaster of the new Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? You see, you have the keys to the principal's office anyway, as well as the Dumbledore family phoenix.
This may be a choice of fate. ”
"Not interested! You know me, Hat, I'm too busy right now. I'm going to fight wits and courage with the stars, I'm going to be weak and submissive with Quint, and I have to lead my companions to try to survive in the dangerous parallel world of the Dark Ages. .
In the dire situation where his vitality was gradually recovering, but the injuries caused by the rejection reaction had not been alleviated at all, Mason played with his hat and glanced at the man not far away who was pinching his nose to release magic and fish out Black Adam from the sewage ditch. Tanna.
He whispered in his heart:
"But I have a suggestion for you, Hat. You see, the only spellcaster in Team K is John. I think his personality is not suitable for education work.
Unless you want to see the kids at Hogwarts become a bunch of drug-addled, promiscuous asshole wizards.
However, even if we have reached the stage of fighting each other, I still believe that the local spellcasters who are preparing to capture me are theoretically very decent heroes.
Even Black Adam
In addition to over-emphasis on authority and strength, he is actually a qualified ruler and elder, at least their personal integrity can guarantee it.
So it's better not to worry about finding a home for those children.
My opinion is that if Team K cannot accept these small oil bottles, just leave them to these locals to take care of them. I have even chosen their nannies.
Look, Zatanna Zatara!
The White Wizard, who has an excellent family heritage and a clean life experience, has been almost synonymous with a perfect spell caster in his life except for the small stain of being in a relationship with Constantine.
With the relationship between Batman and John, these children will definitely be well cared for and nurtured by Zuckerberg, what do you think? ”
Mason's refusal disappointed the Sorting Hat.
He was silent for a few seconds, sighed and said:
"It's not that I can't consider it. What you said makes sense. The exciting life of Team K is indeed not very suitable for a group of young wizards who are just starting out and encountering twists and turns in their lives.
I just regret that a college with a millennium heritage and a world's past and future have collapsed. ”
"The important thing is always the people."
Mason took a breath, stood up with Harley's help, and lifted up the old, gray box at his feet. He walked towards Zatanna and said in his heart:
"No matter who these little wizards grow up with or study under, they will never forget the heritage of Hogwarts. And when they grow up, the new Hogwarts will naturally take root in this world and continue its legacy. A thousand years.
The premise is that the world will not be destroyed by the impact.
But this is what we have been working hard on, so look forward to it with hope, Hat. Like me, I firmly believe that all stories will have a good ending. ”
"Pa"
The Infinity Box of Newt the Great Wizard was placed at Zha's feet.
Mason, who was being supported, stretched out his hand to put the hat that had turned back into a Panama hat on his head. He looked at Zatanna, whose big eyes were full of vigilance, and said softly:
"Right here, Zatanna, we met for the first time. At that time, Batman invited you and John to rescue me. Although I didn't really need it at the time, I will always remember your help.
We are not enemies. ”
"I probably believe that."
Xiao Zha pursed her lips and stared at Mason in front of her. She whispered:
"Batman trusts you, and I think I can too. But is this all true?"
"No! Don't think about it. This is just a story about a hidden dangerous guy who was discovered by the heroes of justice and jumped over the wall. There are not as many twists and turns as you think, and there is no drama of private collusion."
Mason pouted and said:
"There are some things in this box. I hope you can take good care of them. There should be some magical animals in it. Think of it as 'child support' paid in advance.
Also, Zach, although John is a scumbag, he really cares about you.
After this is over, give him another chance. ”
After saying that, he looked down at the time on his watch, smiled at Harley next to him, released his beloved flying motorcycle, and said:
"Come on, Harley, it's time for us to leave."
Harley carefully and politely helped the weak Mason into the side of the car, and put a safety helmet on him. Then he got on the motorcycle and looked back at Zatanna. He twisted the handlebar and slammed the accelerator and flew in with a whoosh. The night sky has become quiet.
Zatanna didn't stop her during the whole process.
After watching Mason disappear, Xiao Zha turned his attention to the box in front of him. There was a piece of paper stuck on the very special and complicated magic lock of the box.
The process of how to open this box is written in detail above.
As a very good spell caster in this world, Zatanna spent a few minutes to unlock the complicated mystery lock, opened the box and found that it was filled with various precious magic books.
But this is just disguise.
She closed the box according to the description on the note and turned on the hidden traceless extension spell switch. Then she reopened the box, and what came into view was a staircase that seemed to lead to another world.
Xiao Zha could even hear the sharp and frightening shouts coming from below the dark stairs. It seemed that there were many people running among them, and some were crying.
This made her frown.
She did not act rashly, but sent a rallying signal.
Soon, nearby spellcasters came to join her. After hearing that the box was seized from the wizards, the local spellcasters immediately decided to gather in groups to explore the dark secrets hidden in it.
They stepped into it under the leadership of Xiao Zha. When they reached the bottom of this magical box whose inner space was almost the same size as a small town, the casters saw what they saw in front of them with exclamations of surprise.
Nearly two hundred children, protected by a group of strange animals, watched them warily. These children were all wearing uniform robes, and some were wearing ordinary people's clothes.
They range from ten years old to young adults.
But without exception, their eyes were filled with the light of the same enemy. They waved their wands and scolded the visitors, as if they were guarding the little bit of the world they had left and their already shattered dignity.
The tears in the eyes of those children shocked Xiao Zha.
"Drop your weapons!"
Combining Mason's previous message, Xiao Zha immediately understood. She immediately asked the spellcasters behind her to stop advancing, and she also put down her magic wand.
She looked at the children in front of her who were most likely the last remaining orphans in another world. She took a deep breath, spread her hands to them, and said:
"Don't be afraid, the evil wizard from the Star Society has been defeated by us, and no one will hurt you. I swear on the name of the Zatara family, you are safe, children."
——
As the situation in Gotham intensifies, in the watchtower base hanging high above the earth, Cyborg, who was supposed to serve as the "human data core" to support the capture mobile communication network, can no longer pass on real-time changes in the battle situation to his teammates. them.
Because the promising future of cyborgs is also in trouble.
"Ah! Get out of my head!"
The screams with electronic sounds echoed in the main control room of the watchtower space station. Cyborg was holding his head and rolling around on the ground. This cyborg superhero would be very embarrassed.
The various unknown technology devices that appeared on his body due to the fusion of the alien mother boxes are in an extremely chaotic state of activation.
The sonic cannons extending from both arms fired in all directions uncontrollably. The cool outer armor on its body also turned on and off from time to time. The energy engine and two sets of circulation devices were running in reverse.
The worst thing is that the entire watchtower's main system connected to Cyborg's quantum brain is in a state of total collapse.
But don't worry that this priceless watchtower will fall tonight, because a more mysterious data life is quickly "taking over" here.
In the data field of Cyborg's quantum brain, he is fighting for control of every thread and module of his own with a strange being whose body is entirely composed of data.
Relying on the blessing of unknown technology brought by the Mother Box, he did not collapse like the evil consciousness Arnim Zola in Bizarro's mind.
He still has the ability to fight back, but the situation is not optimistic.
"What have you done to me? You witch of data!"
Cyborg's conscious body roared in his quantum brain.
The huge humanoid data life in front of him had no complete form at all, and was just a simulated body composed of a huge data stream that was constantly changing. He replied in a cold and calm tone:
"I didn't upload any viruses to you, Cyborg, no, Victor Stone, you seem to prefer that name.
My intelligence level is not enough to decipher the mystery of the Mother Box. Its technological level is at least two generations ahead of mine. You could have easily resisted my invasion. However, you don't seem to know any more about it than I do.
You have a formidable weapon, but you have absolutely no idea what to do with its gifts.
As for your current embarrassing appearance, it is not my destruction. When I invaded your quantum brain, I conveniently activated a Trojan horse virus with a special programming model hidden in your subsystem.
I'm curious.
With such an advanced data framework like yours, you didn't discover the existence of that virus?
Finally, my name is Ott, Ott Cunningham.
This is my name when I was still human, you can call me that. ”
"No, I don't have a virus in my body!"
Cyborg stubbornly denied:
"The first thing I do when I get up every day is to do a system self-check on myself. If it is true, there is no way I wouldn't have discovered it."
"It's not called "waking up" after shutting down at a scheduled time and then restarting after a period of system silence, and you don't need to sleep. It's just that you are forcibly imitating human living habits.
However, what you fail to notice is that you can still live without this abnormal and stubborn habit.
And more free. ”
Data Life Ultra from 2077 replied calmly:
"Between unlimited freedom and remaining humanity, you chose humanity. It's an amazing choice. But unfortunately, I must restrict you today, Victor.
My calculations over the trillions confirmed the need for today's action. Mason Cooper didn't understand that the help he was receiving was not solely due to his friendship with the Afterlife Team.
As for the virus you vehemently deny, it does exist. ”
Otto waved her hand, and a line of complex data was visible to the naked eye suspended in the steel-framed quantum brain. From the underlying framework to the encoding form, she had completely cracked it.
Cyborg looked at this line of data. After being stunned for a few seconds, he cursed in a low voice:
"The Kryptonian data encoding program also reverse-engineered the peripheral firewall of Mother Box Technology. No wonder I didn't notice it, Fuck Bateman! But I'm curious, when did he upload the virus to me?"
This question made Otto hesitate for a few seconds, and then said:
"The first time you officially met, to be precise, the day you were introduced to join the Justice League by Wonder Woman, the day you officially became his teammate."
After saying these words, the two data beings fell into silence at the same time. After a few seconds, Ultra, who had cracked the main program of the watchtower, said:
“I have to say that no matter how I look at the individual ‘Batman’, the conclusions I can draw are quite distorted.
It is obvious that you are considering a doomsday survivalist who completely distrusts others, who is suspected of severe mental illness and persecution paranoia, as a credible ally and choose to follow his leadership.
Even though he has been planning and updating his methods to counter you since the moment he met you.
Hmm, is this the unique form of friendship between superhumans in this world?
So interesting. "(End of Chapter)
