Chapter 402 17. The current situation can be summarized like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, a moth jumping into the fire, and falling into a trap [1720]
I don’t know if you have ever met such a person in your life?
They are always mean, always hurt their friends' hearts with all kinds of vicious jokes, always do all kinds of stupid things to get themselves into desperate situations, and always need someone to give them more points. Energy is like a naughty child who personally hates dogs.
They were meant to die alone.
But he will use all kinds of crazy ways to find friends. You will hate them at first, but after getting along for a long time, you will find that having such a bitch brother is actually not bad.
Zha Kang is such a person.
The alliance between him and Mason was initially out of pettiness and bad intentions on both sides, but now that they have gotten along, this guy has become an indispensable member of Team K.
During the time when Zha Kang was missing, Mason occasionally felt a trace of longing for his bottomless vulgar jokes and his asshole attitude that was too serious to be serious in most situations.
For a while, Mason thought he was going crazy.
"You were not beaten or tortured. Look at you. He didn't even put shackles on you or carve words on your face. This is really disappointing."
Mason's water body was sitting on the ground, looking at Zha Kang who rushed towards him with a face full of surprise, he couldn't help but complained:
"If I catch you bastard, I should at least sew your mouth shut or cut off that dirty thing that's always in heat. Stop looking for it!
This is a doppelganger, idiot!
I can't bring anything in, it will be discovered. ”
"Ugh, disappointing."
Zha Kang, who was wearing his signature khaki windbreaker and white shirt and was somewhat unshaven, suddenly became disappointed. He stretched out his hand to pull up Mason's body, looked him up and down, and said:
"When did you gain this ability that sounds so powerful? Was it the trip back home that I was absent from?"
"Yes, it was because your spermatozoon was seduced by your vampire lover and came to explore. However, you accidentally got caught and I had to spend time leaving the group of rookies waiting for food and came here to save you."
Mason said expressionlessly while turning his head to look at the space around him.
It's very strange here.
It's like a "Crystal Palace" without borders. The reason why it is called the Crystal Palace is because this strange plane is surrounded by weird material barriers similar to broken glass.
The overall tone is gloomy, and the light is dim but not enough to block the view. Not far away stands a row of quaint bookshelves, and directly in front is a building similar to a meditation room.
Other than that, there is nothing here.
It's like the "fortress of loneliness" that a late-stage autistic patient who lives in isolation has built for himself.
"Tell me, who caught you?"
Mason looked at Zha Kang and said:
"Tell me the cause and effect, and then we will discuss what to do."
"Run away! What else is there to discuss?"
Zha Kang rolled his eyes and said:
"Your body is outside, right?
Very good, I can use the connection between this clone and the main body to open an escape door. In fact, I can always do this, but if I just rush out without a specific guidepost, I may be thrown into the hell of this world.
The principle of blockade in this plane is not difficult. During this time, I had almost learned it by peeking at that guy's magic book. It only required one spell cast.
As for the causes and consequences
Didn’t my vampire doll tell you everything? That's pretty much it. ”
He rubbed his unshaven chin and sighed:
"Alas, the boat overturned in the sewer, and I was almost caught by the Skrulls, but how powerful am I? Those alien bastards were no match for me at all, and I sent them away with the Forgetting Curse.
I wanted to open the door to the world in that basement, but the annoying guy suddenly appeared and dragged me here without saying a word. As you said, he didn't torture me either.
Ask me all kinds of things all day long.
What about the civilization situation in our world over there, the specific structure of the Association of Stars, the truth about the impact incident, etc.
Damn it!
A spellcaster of his level can obviously search my memory directly, but he insists on 'talking therapy', and I can't beat him and can only chat with him, which is almost annoying me to death. ”
"What about the evil god's sacrifice?"
Mason asked curiously, and Zha Kang pointed to the edge of this plane and said:
"You can see it through there. It is a permanent summoning ritual. That bastard uses that ritual to constantly summon evil creatures that exist in all the worlds for his entertainment.
Ordinary summons do not require sacrifices.
But I heard from him that he has been hunting a certain evil god, and to summon that guy, he needs a unique sacrifice to lure it to the bait.
The outstanding Lord Constantine was chosen like this, and he deserved my misfortune. It is said that souls like us from other worlds can best seduce the evil god. ”
"Tsk, tsk, it sounds very dark and scary."
Mason curled his lips and was about to let Zha Kang cast a spell to escape. However, in the next moment, he suddenly discovered an important point in what Zha Kang said just now.
He suddenly looked up at his unreliable team member and scolded:
"You told him everything about the Star Club? It didn't trigger the backlash of the soul curse? How did you do it?"
"Hey, this is the second reason why I asked you to come in person."
Zha Kang showed a treacherous and sinister smile and said:
"That terrible bastard has a way to cut off the divine connection between me and Lord Destiny. Isn't it amazing? The first time I saw him cast a spell, I was dumbfounded. He can actually do it like this!
But he just did it.
Probably because he has been dealing with these evil things for many years, that guy has very rich anti-curse experience. Look! He helped me with some processing. ”
Constantine opened his left sleeve.
Mason saw that the devil tattoo on his arm was partially covered by red runes, making the overall black tattoo look much lighter than before, as if part of it had been brushed away.
"This is my next plan."
Zha Kang said with confidence:
"Let's escape first, and then find a way to get in touch with him to make a deal or something. If we can learn this method of restraining the curse from him, then Lord Destiny is nothing!
Without the constraints of the curse, we can safely and boldly find ways to kill it. ”
"But you have to consider a problem."
Mason was not so optimistic. He frowned and said:
"To be able to suppress the soul curse left by a divine devil so easily shows that the owner of this place is at the same level as the upgraded Mephisto.
There is no way for us to please such a big shot. ”
"Why do you think so much?"
Zha Kang didn't care.
He patted Mason on the shoulder and said:
"Escape first. As long as we two brothers use our brains, there are always more solutions than difficulties. Are you ready? I'm going to cast a spell to keep your body from moving. I need an accurate phase coordinate to conduct a star.
This is a very dangerous spell.
Once I lose my guidance, I will immediately be lost in the astral world. My life is now in your hands. ”
"Come on."
Mason's water stood there alone and said:
"But I want to tell you that even if you escape, it will not be a blessing. I have established cooperation with the resistance organizations in this world. We will help them fight against the invading Skrulls."
"I would rather hold a small table knife and launch an onboard charge against ten thousand Skrull bastards than stay here and face a bastard who makes me unable to resist at all."
Zha Kang complained harshly.
Then he began to cast spells.
He was not restricted in his ability to cast spells, which was enough to show that the person who caught him was very confident. Perhaps as Zha Kang himself said, in front of that guy, he was almost like an ant who couldn't resist.
Let alone strength or lack thereof, this contempt alone is enough to shock people.
But Zha Kang did learn something new.
His hands formed a very special handprint, and after taking a deep breath, they spread out. The dancing starlight followed his spell and converged on Mason's clone, making him feel like a lock trapping the clone's body. Body and consciousness.
It was like being placed in a cage, and the next moment, the clone seemed to be swallowed up by the starlight.
Mason at the bottom of the Hudson River lost control of the water avatar, and then a starry arc opened behind him, rotating like a triangular holy symbol, and "vomited" Zha Kang's entire body out of it. .
Before this guy had time to cheer, a mouthful of river water flooded his mouth and nose and almost choked to death. It was Mason who raised his hand and put a breathing mask like a fish tank on him to filter the oxygen in the water to prevent him from flopping around.
"Awesome, Mason!"
Zha Kang swayed in the water, laughed and patted Mason on the shoulder and said:
"I just haven't seen you for ten days and you have become a powerful spell caster. Although the energy methods we use are different, I, Constantine, would also like to call you a powerful water magician.
Now let's run quickly.
That guy ran out to see the mysterious bald man. Based on my observations during this period, it would take him at least three hours to come back.
don’t worry.
I have learned how to evade his search and capture from his magic book. I just need to give me a little time to set up a beacon for us to cover up the interference. ”
Mason nodded, put away his trident and followed Zha Kang ashore from the river in the heavy rain.
The two hid in an alley, and Zha Kang impatiently took the cigarette handed over by Mason and took a strong puff, letting the rich smoke spurt out from his nostrils and mouth at the same time, as if he had returned to his soul.
He held a cigarette in his mouth and began to cast a spell to shield the two of them. At this moment, Mason's mind was still on his other eleven clones. They were all put into the suitcase factory, and his "hard work" was also very fruitful.
In just a few dozen minutes, Mason's inscription and tailoring skills were upgraded by one level respectively, but that was only a bonus at low proficiency.
Any skill becomes more difficult the higher you go.
"唰"
As the starlight scattered, two covering spells were cast on the two of them, and Constantine felt relieved.
What he experienced during this period caused a great psychological shadow on him, causing him to urge Mason to leave this unfortunate city as soon as possible.
"You haven't told me who that guy is yet."
Mason walked out of the dark alley with him, held up a penguin umbrella and rushed to the church where Night Walker was, and asked again:
"Did the Doctor Strange of this world capture you?"
"No!"
Zha Kang waved his hands, blew out smoke rings and said:
"Doctor Strange in this world has been captured by the Skrulls. That guy said it himself.
And if it was a genuine Qiyi, although I might not be able to defeat him, the gap between him and me is not so big that I can't even fight back.
It was another guy who caught me.
He looks a lot like Doctor Strange.
I suspect that it may be some time and space alien body of Doctor Strange, but it has a completely different temperament, sinister and gloomy, wearing a black Soul King cloak, with skinny cheeks and no smile all day long, as if the whole world owes him money.
That lunatic doesn't sleep any more than you do, Mason. ”
Constantine enjoyed the feeling of freedom, happily threw the cigarette butt into the puddles on the street, and complained:
"You haven't seen those two dark circles under his eyes. It's just like staying up late to cultivate immortality. I'm really afraid that he will suddenly die suddenly. Huh? What's wrong with you? Why does your face look so ugly?
Did something bad happen to you? ”
Zha Kang noticed the weird expression of Mason next to him, as if he felt as uncomfortable as eating more than ten kilograms of lemons. During his inquiry, Mason asked in a low voice:
"Does that guy have a goatee? The collar of his magic floating cloak is folded back like a bat wing?"
"How do you know?"
Zha Kang asked with his eyes widened.
Mason, who was holding an umbrella in the heavy rain, sighed, grabbed Johnny's gun at his waist, and said:
"On the one hand, I already knew him.
On the other hand, that guy is right in front of our damn eyes right now! John, he let you go on purpose just to catch me, a fish that had thrown itself into a trap. ”
Zha Kang suddenly raised his head and looked forward.
Amidst the rain covering the city ahead, making the entire sky and earth look gray, a slender and gloomy figure was falling from the sky.
Just as Mason described, the gloomy and luxurious Soul King's cloak, which was black with bloody gold trim, was swaying in the rain, and the eyes with dark circles stared at them like two little loaches jumping into a fishing net.
There were almost no special spell-casting moves, and everything on the street was "frozen" when he landed.
The pedestrians on both sides, the shops on the street, the dancing neon lights and even the ripples of every drop of rain falling from the sky hitting the ground are like a movie that has been paused.
Time has been stopped!
Everything on this street becomes the background.
On this stage, only Mason, Zha Kang and the gloomy guy in front of him who seems to be in control of everything are left to move freely.
"Fuck!"
Zha Kang cursed, grabbed Slytherin's locket with both hands and raised it forward.
He desperately unlocked the seal, and in an instant, four dementors were released, followed closely by the huge mountain monster and dark thunderbird, which also screamed and pounced on the enemy in front of them.
The last one to be released was an adult Chinese fireball dragon.
This ferocious snake-like creature raised its head and breathed out scorching dragon breath, almost annihilating everything in front of it.
Also thrown forward were several life-killing curses released by Zha Kang. The gloomy green beams of light hit the opposite side, but the latter didn't feel unhappy or even changed his expression much.
He just took a deep breath.
Then dazzling light burst out from his eyes and mouth, involving all kinds of monsters and dangerous soul magic released in front of him.
Swallowing them all into the body like eating fresh "magic sashimi".
With a flash of light, Mason saw the face of Hei Qiqi opposite him suddenly transform into the face of a fireball dragon, and then return to the gloomy face in the next moment.
“A bit spicy.”
He pursed his lips and made a very accurate and mind-numbing evaluation like a gourmet gourmand of anomalous creatures.
"Run!"
Most of the sealed objects in the Slytherin pendant in Zha Kang's hand were released and could not help his opponent, but this unreliable guy showed a rare strength.
Probably because he felt that his mistake caused Mason to fall into the tiger's mouth, he felt sorry for his brother. At this moment, he grabbed the coral trident staff and put on the red magical floating cloak to stand in front of Mason with rare bravery.
In the light of dancing magic, he said without looking back:
"Leave now! Don't come back again. Tell Xiao Zha that I love her for me"
Then the shining purification magic was released like a bomb, and Mason did not choose to retreat. After all, the one who accompanied Zha Kang here was just a water avatar that was quietly replaced when the two came ashore from the river
The real him had activated the speed ring and ran desperately out of the city.
He knew who this was before him.
At this moment, he finally understood why this world could quietly escape three consecutive impacts. The earth that was smashed into this world was eaten by this guy!
Not a metaphor!
Not an exaggeration!
It literally means “eating”!
"Dr. Dark Strange personally destroyed the gluttonous demon that caused the collapse of a plane at an absolute point in time. He is the only black-hearted bastard who can compete with Uncle Tun in terms of appetite."
Mason, who was running at the speed of light, complained incoherently and madly:
"No. How can I meet a hidden boss of this level just by going out to rescue someone? Is this not the level of Heavenly Father anymore?
What the hell is going on in this damn world?
With so many big events coming together, it’s a miracle it’s not over yet. Hey, even the impact events seem so insignificant compared to the current troubles. ”
"Stop running, don't bother, your time is going back"
The hat sighed and said:
"It's not your fault, Mason. On the bright side, this guy who almost scared me out of my mind probably doesn't want your life, so he should be captured without mercy.
No shame. "(End of Chapter)
