Chapter 307 6. Yes, now the expired parents’ redemption coupon is useless
When the master took out a dirty, bloody card from his low-key luxury suit worth at least a string of zeros, Mason realized something was not right.
And after the master said that he figured out Mason's life experience, the captain's expression management got out of control on the spot.
This is not to say that he has any obsession with his life experience in this world.
The original soul of this body had long been freed by the wine bottle that fell from the sky. When Mason's soul woke up in this strange world, everything before it had nothing to do with him anymore.
What really shocked Mason was the master's behavior itself.
While he was busy maintaining the non-existent "order" in Gotham, helping the Justice League get out of the shadow of failure, and secretly planning to deal with the possible invasion of the Stellar Society and perfecting his own tactics, this busy man actually didn't forget To help Mason find his life experience.
To be honest, Mason himself doesn't care much about this matter. It's really hard for the master to be so concerned about it.
He really made me cry to death!
Although Mason had guessed that this was the master's method to maintain the relationship between the two and win him over, when he took the blood-stained card, there was still a silent feeling flowing in Mason's heart.
Just a little bit different!
He felt that maybe he should tell Bruce about Thomas and Martha's existence, so that the pain of bereavement he had endured for thirty years could be alleviated.
But Mason is sensible after all.
Telling the truth about the old man and Mrs. Clown in this situation will not make Bruce feel relieved, it will only add unnecessary trouble to him.
Moreover, he is still the best detective in the world, and his brain is absolutely sufficient, so I’ll leave it to the master to discover the truth slowly.
After all, Batboy, who doesn't trust anyone, will only believe in the secrets he finds with his own hands, and he must enjoy playing tricks on others.
"Didn't you say that all the information on the Gotham Orphanage was destroyed?"
Mason looked at the blood-stained card in his hand and said:
"Where did you find it?"
"I asked Barry to venture through time and go back to the night you were sent to the orphanage."
The master didn't hide anything.
He looked around the office and said:
"All your secrets about your life experience have been revealed by Barry, but it will probably take you some time to accept this shocking fact.
Mason, you are not from our world.
You were sent here.
And your experience of being adopted by Robert Cooper is also full of secrets. It was an unexpected result of a failed robbery operation. It was Barry who prevented those unknown people from taking you away. ”
"I'm really not surprised at all."
Mason listened to the master's story with a dull face.
He should have expressed great surprise at this, but considering all the clues that had been discovered before, this conclusion is naturally reasonable.
However, he did not immediately check the ancient secret represented by the card in his hand. Instead, he put it away and looked at John Wick who was following Bruce.
He always makes a clear distinction between personal matters and business matters.
"So, you have been in contact with Batman?"
Mason asked.
Wick nodded, glanced at Bruce Wayne beside him, and said in a brief tone:
"He's a good partner, and he has a keen and vigilant quality that I appreciate, but the rest of the Justice League needs to be watched."
"I plan to officially introduce Wick to the Justice League tomorrow."
The master was sitting on the sofa, his eyes fell on the strange disk in the office display rack, and while observing with a weak headache, he said to Mason:
"This is a good contact opportunity. The Justice League now needs new blood. Wick's abilities and beliefs are in line with the requirements of the Justice League.
Of course, he must suppress his excessive desire for aggression during this period.
Taking this opportunity, he can also legitimately join Barry's transformation project of the cosmic treadmill. It takes three months to complete our first communication with the Isu world.
Only then can a powerful alliance be formed to counter the evil intentions of the Stars Association. ”
"That's okay."
Mason leaned against the desk and said:
"But Wick may have to live a 'dual identity' life for a while. The Assassin's League is about to face a reorganization. I will select someone to take charge of this matter.
Wick's understanding of the assassin's ways and his abilities will help this move forward. ”
"I have no problem!"
The top killer said expressionlessly:
"Identity substitution and concealment of whereabouts are our basic skills. In addition, I am personally also very interested in the inheritance of assassins in this world."
"Then it's settled."
Mason pointed to the door and said:
"In the third box on the left, there is a set of Isu Assassin Master uniforms and matching weapons specially made for you, as well as contact information. If you need service in the future, you can come here at any time.
My personal secretary, Miss Hanako, has entered your identity into the system, so there is no need to worry about being attacked. ”
"Yeah."
Wick nodded, turned around and left neatly.
But when he walked out of the office door, he happened to meet Judy and Barbara, who were walking over holding some electronic equipment and talking and laughing.
Fortunately for Batgirl, she had met Wick before.
But this was the first time Judy saw this guy. When she saw that face, she immediately exclaimed:
"Johnny Silverhand! Why are you here, you idiot! Wait, aren't you dead a long time ago? Your personality data is missing in the black wall."
This familiar name made John Wick frown.
He didn't know who the so-called "Johnny Silverhand" was, but Mason called him by this name many times. Although he was a cold-blooded killer, Wick also complained about it in his heart.
What's wrong with these people in the Star Club?
Are your eyes so bad?
Always admit that you are wrong.
"My name is John Wick!"
He emphasized to Judy, who was circling around him and marveling:
"I don't know a guy named Johnny Silverhand."
"But I know him!"
Judy, who was a little excited, was rummaging around in her luggage.
Finally, he took out a very shabby poster and opened it in front of Wick's eyes. He pointed at the charming man with toad glasses, a bomber jacket and jeans, and a silver mechanical arm and said:
"Look! See for yourself! Do you two look exactly the same?"
"This"
Even though Wick didn't believe it, the poster in front of him showed that it must be more than a few decades old just by looking at the degree of wear and tear. No matter how boring the people who came to the Star Club were, they wouldn't come up with this thing just to joke with him.
He frowned and stared at the rock singer on the poster who was almost identical to him but had a completely different look and temperament. After a few seconds, he said:
"This Silver Hand. What does he do over there?"
"He's a madman!"
Judy snorted, chewed gum and crossed her arms and said:
"He blew up Arasaka Tower and killed tens of thousands of people. Although some people say he was a hero who resisted corporate hegemony, in my opinion he was just an unreasonable psychopath."
"Really?"
Wick deadpanned.
But in my heart I am more interested in myself in another world.
He wanted to ask more, but the elevator door also opened at this moment.
Ms. Hanako Arasaka strode out with several employees, looking like a strong woman. As soon as she walked out, she saw Judy and John Wick beside her.
At this moment, Miss Hanako made a gesture of drawing a gun. Although there was no weapon in her hand, her action itself represented her resistance and disgust towards "Johnny Silverhand".
"You bastard who deserves to go to hell! Silverhand."
Miss Hanako, who showed great respect in front of Mason, said with disgust on her face at this moment:
"It was your anarchist thoughts that poisoned my brother. He could have become an excellent leader, but you made him die worthless."
"I'm not alas, forget it, you can say whatever you like."
The cold-faced killer Wick still wanted to explain, but he finally gave up.
This kind of thing cannot be explained, just like having your evil twin do bad things and being blamed on you. No matter how unhappy you are, you have to endure it.
"Hey, you bumbling company dog!"
Judy waved her fist disdainfully at the frosty Hua Zi, and then led Barbara to the computer room of her choice, where she would build a new cross-world secret communication network architecture shared by the K team and the afterlife team.
"Hey, Silverhand, come and help if nothing happens."
She said to Wick:
"Although I don't like you either, but being able to make the boss of the company so angry is a relief for those of us at the bottom. Come on, I know you are interested.
Let me tell you the story of Johnny Silverhand. ”
——
“It’s quite lively outside.”
Mason and Bruce in the office both have very keen hearing, and they can clearly hear the arguments outside. The things happening between these time and space aliens make the master a little curious.
He said:
"If everyone has his own time and space alien in the parallel world, then I or Batman."
"Don't think about it, Bruce, becoming Batman is the fate of the men in the Wayne family."
Mason waved his hands and said:
"And I guess you don't want to meet those weird time and space aliens of yours right now. You'd better pray that those guys don't come to disrupt the situation when we are having a gathering of stars in this world, otherwise it will be really, really troublesome.
Where are my people? ”
"Ivy's down there, with Harley Quinn."
The master said softly:
"As for the two gentlemen, Peter Parker and Matt Murdock, who are guests at Wayne Manor at the moment, I have to say that talking with them made me understand more about the parallel world and the truth of the impact incident.
If it wasn't for the wrong timing, I probably would have become friends with them.
Now that this question has been asked, I have to ask one more question: How did the ‘team members’ I sent to you perform? ”
"It's very troublesome, very uncooperative, and stubbornly thinks that we are a group of bad guys. Even if I saw the doomsday wasteland with my own eyes, I still think I can't be trusted."
Mason sighed and said:
"I don't have that much time to talk to them, so I decided to take them out for a 'tour' after I go back this time. Let them see the facts with their own eyes, which is much more useful than my earnest persuasion.
And you?
How's the progress on your end? ”
"Clark is guarding Dr. Zola."
The old man leaned on the sofa and replied in a dumb voice like Batman:
"I trust him as I trust you. Barry's joining is a surprise. It means that we finally have a communication channel that can not be interfered by the stars.
I plan to talk to Diana next.
Although your humiliation of her has made her resentful of you, I believe Diana will make the right choice on the big questions. ”
"I advise you not to underestimate Wonder Woman."
Mason shook his head and said:
"I have encountered Diana Prince's time and space alien before. She almost destroyed a world. You should pay more attention to her psychological problems.
Especially when it comes to war.
Once she falls into an endless fighting frenzy, it will not be a good thing for us or you. Huh? What's this? ”
He watched in surprise as the master took out a stack of golden belts from the hidden compartment behind his belt. This thing was very luxurious and had a sense of sanctity and nobility as a sacrificial item.
But it's not a finished product.
With Mason's vicious eyes, he could tell at a glance that this was a raw material with a divine nature attached to it.
"You took Diana's Lasso of Truth away, and she needs new weapons."
The master handed Mason the pile of ribbons that were said to come from the Greek goddess of the oven and said:
"Of all the people I know, you are the only one who can build such a weapon. In addition, you also have to spend time upgrading the equipment of the Justice League.
It takes a week to produce the blueprint, and Wayne Group is responsible for processing it. Are there any questions? ”
"This is to make me 'enemies the enemy', but the design blueprint is not a big problem. I will leave some weaknesses that can only be exploited by us to avoid trouble in the future."
Mason smiled, took the thing and threw it on the table. He said:
"Diana's lasso is in Selena's hand. She plans to make it into her own cat-tail whip. Oh, by the way, I want to keep Selena here for a long time.
One hand presides over our covert operations here.
On the one hand, it can also stabilize your mind.
I know that you are also overly protective of her, and having her by your side can make you more determined.
I don't want to break you up.
But now that Catwoman has the Lasso of Truth in her hand, you have to be careful when meeting her to avoid saying something you shouldn't say.
There are always many secrets in your heart. ”
This arrangement made the master silent for a few seconds, then nodded and said:
"Although I don't know why Damian took the initiative to get closer to me after coming back this time, I guess it has something to do with you. I appreciate your kindness, Mason.
It's time for me to go down.
If I don't show up, those reporters will write about some evil deal between me and the owner of this bar in tomorrow's newspaper. They always like to write these things to attract attention. ”
"There's nothing you can do about it, people with their own traffic can never live a quiet life."
Mason smiled and sent the master out of the office.
He was sure that the old man was chasing the old man. Fortunately, they were father and son. They had a clear understanding of each other.
Then he closed the door and reached out to pick up the bloody card on the table. According to the Flash, this thing was sent to this world with him.
It's some kind of identification.
But the blood on it had coagulated and could not be wiped off. Mason took out the alchemical solution and processed it. After a few minutes, writing could barely be seen on it.
What caught his eye was an inscription that made Mason's heart tremble:
"Doomsday Plan·The third batch of the Weapon
"Fuck!"
He cursed under his breath.
Barry and Master who found the card may not understand the meaning of this line of words, but Mason, who likes mutant stories, can see the root of it at a glance.
He clasped the small card in his hand.
Turning the swivel chair to look at the floor-to-ceiling windows behind him, he lit another cigarette a few seconds later. As the smoke rose, Mason sighed regretfully.
"I thought I would be able to find the source of this body's bloodline by searching for my life experience. Now that the source of the bloodline has indeed been found, there is a high probability that it is just a cannon fodder victim used for experiments.
Maybe he is still a miserable clone
This is worse than the master's life experience. No wonder the relationship between us is getting better and better. Is this the legendary sympathy for each other? ”
He shook his head and placed the washed card in front of his eyes.
After a few seconds, the information label pops up:
Test product nameplate
Effect: Used to identify member information in a large-scale experimental project. It is necessary to find the corresponding database to interpret the specific information of the experimental subject.
Producer: Weapon X Project Department
Item description: Sad! Now it's useless even if you steal Bruce Wayne's private redemption voucher for his parents. Don't cry, poor kid, let your uncle give you a two-punch to make you happy.
hint!
This item is endowed with energy imprinting remnants when traveling through the parallel world system. When the inscription branch skill reaches Lv5, the world coordinates contained in it can be reversely decoded.
"Huh?"
Mason's eyes suddenly narrowed.
He put out the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray and stood up suddenly.
He doesn't plan to waste time anymore. The inscription skill is now Lv3+1. If he works harder, he might be able to get his real "hometown coordinates" tonight.
"Hua Zi, don't let anyone disturb me for the next few hours."
He used the equipment on the table to give instructions to his assistant secretary at the Afterlife Bar, and then took out a large amount of inscription-making materials from his luggage to prepare for a big job.
But just as Mason rolled up his sleeves and put on the protective gloves specially designed for inscription techniques, he suddenly noticed a stream of green light flying across the night sky outside the window.
"Green Lantern?"
Mason walked to the window in surprise, and while closing the curtains, he was confused:
"What is this guy doing in Gotham? Is there anything in this shithole city that attracts him?" (End of Chapter)
