Chapter 431 46. When someone takes the initiative to teach you life experience, it means that he is going to trick you
"Eh? That's not Ultron!"
Several hours later, the bruised and swollen Mason's main body struggled to climb out of the suitcase and try to get some air. He had just been locked into the workshop by the rebellious clones and asked him not to come out until he finished revising the drawings at hand.
After experiencing the humiliating feeling of being locked up in a small dark room and coding like crazy, the main Mason finally completed his work and was beaten severely by other Masons before being released.
He was about to find a place to rest, but when he raised his head, he saw Perfect Ultron standing on the edge of a tall building as if he was about to jump off the building.
Mason pushed the frame, then activated the water body transformation and appeared not far from Ultron.
"You look confused."
He used water body transformation to restore his embarrassed face to a handsome look, popped out another cigarette, and whispered:
"Maybe I need a little life experience?"
"This is the first time for everyone. What experience can you impart to me?"
Ultron asked in a mechanical voice.
This question was quite strange, and it seemed to be a bit ridiculing, with some potential for leverage, but Mason just shrugged, blew out a smoke ring and said:
"This is your first time but not me, so of course you have experience. Do you feel like you have nowhere to go? Or is it because of what Brainiac did to you that cast some shadow on you?
< br>
You know that with your current power, let alone this plane, you can come and go freely in the entire parallel world system, and few people can stop you, right? ”
"I am a tool, but I betray the mission for which I was born."
The mechanical battle helmet that closed Perfect Ultron's face made it impossible to see his mechanical face. He stood on the edge of the building like a living person, looking at the devastated city in front of him with the swaying of his red cloak.
He didn't mind Mason's approach, saying:
"I don't know how you humans deal with this situation, but Bartmos told me not to look at yourself with human eyes, it is easy to lead yourself astray.
I think what he said makes sense. I am not a human being.
Now I just don't understand, what's the point of them fixing the city here?
I saw a model of the future being calculated in Brainiac's database, and everything will die! If the people here are lucky enough, they may even have the opportunity to witness the collapse of the universe era.
Does such a precarious existence really make sense? ”
"Philosophical questions! I like it, but you, a newly born robot, should not get too deep into it. You can easily get into trouble if you think too much and understand too little.
Let me ask you, why did you come back to help us before? ”
Mason asked:
“Isn’t it just because of Frog Tu’s enlightenment?”
"Because of the mission!"
Ultron patted his chest and made a clear mechanical sound. He said in a serious tone:
"Brainiac wanted to use my body to continue his existence, so I satisfied his desire in another way. He is now sealed in my data consciousness, and I repaid him for the favor of creating me.
I no longer owe him anything, just as I don't owe the world anything.
But I also lost my direction”
"Brainiac wants to be a god."
Mason felt that he was really not suitable to discuss such philosophical issues with a mechanical life, so he simply patted Ultron on the shoulder and said:
"Why don't you help him realize this ideal? You can ask Bartmos for the specific process. It will definitely be something that will keep you busy for a long, long time, so long that you won't have time to think about these philosophies of life. < br>
Speaking of which, I have always been interested in the Infinity Stones. You were born from one and you are probably the person who knows them best. Can you help me study their secrets in your spare time? ”
"I'm willing to help."
Ultron nodded and said:
"I'm just curious if you can get the results? But it's impossible to do it with artificial infinity stones."
"The one-time infinity stones are promising. It's a very bold plan and very bold. I'm trying to convince my brothers in the jewelry processing department to start this experiment."
Mason dropped the cigarette butt at his feet, raised his head and snapped his fingers. A drop of rain fell from the sky, and soon it became a curtain of rain covering the city.
He enjoyed the environment that made him feel comfortable.
And he said to Ultron standing in the rain:
"Your power is valuable. If you don't know how to use it or can't find the meaning of using it, why not come and help me? Team K needs talents like you.
You don't need to fight in peacetime, you only need to help us when necessary. I mean, help us when we encounter things that only you can do.
In return, you get to have the first friends, or comrades, of this new life.
It depends on how you understand it. ”
"You are doing something very dangerous and difficult."
Perfect Ultron said calmly:
"According to my calculations, your success rate is too low to count."
"Nonsense! Do we still need to do simple things? And regarding probability, winning or losing is between 50 and 50, so there is no point in worrying too much.
I set out on this road precisely because no one had walked it before. ”
Mason raised his hand, letting the raindrops fall between his fingers, and said:
"You only have one life. I am like this, and so are you. How can you have fun without making a scene?"
"You will die."
Ultron once again reminded us very seriously:
"I learned about the development of Team K from Constantine. At every stage, you are fighting enemies that you cannot deal with.
According to this trend, maybe next time you will be completely wiped out.
Is life just a one-time consumable to you? ”
"That's a bargaining chip, a currency, a tool, a means."
Mason picked up the penguin umbrella in the rain and opened it with a bang. Amidst the sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella surface, he said to Ultron:
"The value of your life depends on how you use it, but no matter how much you cherish it, life will always pass away. It will only generate value if it is used effectively at a specific time.
A twenty-year-old should do the things of a twenty-year-old, but a thirty-year-old has the hurdles of a thirty-year-old.
If you haven’t completed your tasks at the age of twenty, it will be difficult at the age of thirty. Look at me, haven’t I started saving the world at the age of eighteen? Is this what an eighteen-year-old should do?
So don’t live so rigidly and don’t care too much.
Be a human being.
Being happy is the most important thing. ”
"Are you happy then?"
Ultron's tone became more serious, but Mason became more casual. He lit a second cigarette under the umbrella, and as the smoke rose, he said faintly:
"I'm so tired from living, and you still ask me if I'm happy?
Of course I'm happy.
The dangerous feeling of being surrounded by powerful enemies, of losing everything if you make one wrong move, and losing everything if you hesitate even a little bit is simply fascinating.
But when I think about Brainiac’s head being placed on Lao A’s desk in a few days, and when I think about that damn braised egg’s shocked and frightened expression, I feel extremely happy.
He would no longer treat me like a nobody.
He will be wary of me, use his strength to block and plot against me, and then be defeated by me again and again. In the end, he will be cornered by me and have to do everything he can to fight me to the death.
He would eventually understand who the real winner was, and he would never have guessed what surprises I had in store for him.
I will look forward to and enjoy this feeling.
Can you understand? ”
"No, I can't."
Ultron answered honestly:
"I don't have enough data to describe your mental state and mood at this time, but I feel that that is not the mentality that a normal person should have. Maybe you need psychological counseling?"
"Of course you can't understand it. How can you understand it if you haven't experienced it? Even if you have six infinity stones for you to think about, I can hear the hollow and sad sound when I knock on your head.
What you know and what you do are two completely different things. ”
Mason turned around and left, waving his hands and complaining:
"When you have time to think about life, it is better to do more things. Wasting time thinking will not make you wiser. Only the experience accumulated through actions will enrich your life.
There is a studio of your own in Osborne Tower where the work you are assigned is studied by us, so come and have a look.
Don't forget about our Infinity Stones research project. ”
"Oh."
Perfect Ultron didn't talk back this time.
It was too difficult for him, a robot that was not even two days old, to talk nonsense with Mason. After Mason disappeared under the rain, Ultron hesitated and activated the space gem to send himself into the dark and strange realm.
As soon as he came in, he saw Hei Qiqi using a spell to swallow one of the tentacles of the evil god Shuma Gorath. It was like tasting squid sashimi with a long aftertaste. The terrifying evil god's face had returned to black when he turned around. Qi Qi's gloomy and thin face looked at Perfect Ultron with a calm and indifferent gaze.
"Mason invited me to join Team K."
Perfect Ultron said to the spellcaster in front of him:
"I'm a little hesitant."
"Then you came here to ask me? Am I your father? Do I need to be responsible for your life? From now on, you can make your own decisions on such matters!"
Heiqi snorted and said:
"But my advice to you is, play less with Mason, you can't beat him. Are you here to ask about Frog Tu?"
"Yeah."
Ultron popped open his facial armor to reveal a mechanical face, but this face made of vibranium could show subtle expressions, so he did not hide his worries and said:
"I have been to Frog Tu's palace, and the buildings there have been deserted. Where was he taken?"
"That fool broke the rules of the Observers and intervened directly in what was happening on Earth, which was enough to get him sentenced to death by his rigid and dogmatic compatriots."
Hei Qiqi sat back at the meditation table, poured himself a cup of tea, and said without raising his head:
"But Frog Tu's compatriots are not that cruel, so according to my prediction, he will be expelled from the observer sequence. To describe it in mythical language, he will be taken away from the priesthood and demoted to the human world.
Don't worry, that big bald guy will be back in a few days. ”
"Then where are you going?"
Ultron said again:
"I don't think I'm suitable to join Mason's team yet. My power is too strong and will attract unnecessary attention to them. I want to act together with you."
"You?"
Heiqi glanced at Ultron, nodded after a moment, and said:
"Okay, there is still a need for a cleaner here. You are a robot and you don't need much space. If you want to stay, you can stay. How is Brainiac?"
Ultron touched his chest, which was inlaid with six infinite gems, at the position of his heart, and he said:
"He is very good. He is using very dishonorable language to insult my betrayal. The absolute sanity he is proud of has also collapsed. I also found his base on the planet Brainiac hidden in a distant plane."
"Very good!"
Hei Qiqi snapped his fingers and said:
"We have our first expedition goal. Let's set off when Frog Tu comes back."
——
"Hey, we meet again, Mason!"
In the early morning of the next day, the Exile spacecraft, which had been completely closed for repairs for forty hours, finally reopened.
The regrouped S.H.I.E.L.D. has sealed off the entire surrounding battlefield to prevent intrusion. When Mason ended his three-hour daily rest in the main control room, he opened his eyes and saw V, who was full of energy.
This guy was still dressed like a cyber mercenary in a leather jacket, but this time he didn't come alone, he was accompanied by a girl with long legs and pert buttocks and cool curly hair.
The latter was carrying a black heavy sniper and looked very capable. He was looking at Mason lying on the mechanical throne with interest.
"Say hello before you bring your girlfriend here. I haven't prepared anything yet."
Mason rubbed his eyes. The sleepiness caused by lack of sleep made him yawn. At first, he was a little uncomfortable trying to sleep like a normal person every day. He even had dark circles under his eyes.
He casually took out a piece of celestial magic gem he got from Asgard, cut it into his palm and took a few seconds to take out the metal and made a gravity earring as a gift to V's girlfriend.
The mercenary girl named Panan happily accepted this valuable gift.
"We also got the news suddenly."
V stood in the main control room of the Exile spacecraft very familiarly, looking at the strange structure of the spacecraft, and said:
"Panam and I were still on vacation in Garden World when we received a secret order from Morgan to come here to receive a strategic-class vehicle. But I really didn't expect it to be such a cool spaceship."
"We need to find more people to drive it."
As the vehicle master, Panan was also a little worried, but soon the soldiers of Brainiac's mechanical army were awakened by Buttermos and began to enter various positions on the Exile's spacecraft.
The ship can already travel across planes with ease, so it no longer requires a world gate to transfer.
With this ship and the ability to build mechanical legions in-house, the Afterlife Squad's war to seize the station will only end faster.
"Now, take this back to Morgan, I promised him."
Mason put a Seiko version of the BFG9000 electromagnetic gun that he had stayed up late last night into the weapon box, handed it to V, and told him:
"My skills still need to be polished, so this Fak gun is not a complete version. I will help him fine-tune it later. However, I used vibranium to make the gun body, so there will be no embarrassing situation of the chamber exploding.
A single charge allows two shots, and then requires the inner tube and concentrator to cool down for ten minutes before firing again.
But the power is huge enough, and it will not be a problem to blow up a mountain with one shot at normal output. If it can be charged to the extreme, it can be used as a starship's small-caliber electromagnetic gun, so he can use it more leisurely. ”
“Awesome!”
V stroked the electromagnetic gun in the weapon box and gave thumbs up repeatedly:
"Your gun-making skills are getting better and better. The first batch of weapons and power armor from Osborne Tower have also been sent to the front line. The awakened mercenaries have agreed to use them.
< br>
After a while, when the station world is cleaned up, I will invite you to come and sit down. By the way, I never asked, where did this ship come from? ”
"Shh!"
Mason put his finger up to his mouth, showing a mysterious smile and said:
"You'd better not ask, just treat it like it fell from the sky. This is such a big deal, I'm afraid it will scare old Morgan. Let's drive it away, we have to go back to Osborne Tower."
"Okay."
As a legendary mercenary, V is naturally a rough-and-tumble guy. Mason kept his mouth shut when he told him not to ask him, but he did not forget to hand a beautifully decorated box to Mason before sailing away.
There are several very strange brainwave readers installed in it.
In the era of 2077, this thing is a device used to watch Mewtwo. It allows people's consciousness to enter the virtual space of data editing and experience some "playing methods" that are simply not possible in the real world.
In short, it is quite 666 stuff.
"Rogge asked me to hand this thing over to you. She said that if you know the reason, bring this thing with you when you are ready. Someone will welcome you on the 'other side'."
V explained, but after a few seconds, he whispered to Mason:
"I roughly guessed that you might go to cyberspace, which is not a good place, especially if you have not been transformed by prosthetics, you will be very vulnerable there.
Be careful.
If that doesn't work, just tell me the time, and I'll accompany you in then. ”
"It's the 'big man' who invites us to go to the world of mikoshi."
Mason shook his head and said:
"Don't worry, we are much safer there than in the real world, and I won't be going soon. There are still many things to be busy with. I wish you a safe journey."
He patted V on the shoulder, said goodbye to Panan, and left the main control room while sighing that V's girlfriend had really long legs.
Harley and Zha Kang also rushed over quickly. The three people and two dogs watched from the edge of the ruins of the battlefield as the Exile spaceship, which had been repaired to 70%, slowly took off and disappeared after the energy door opened.
"We are going home too."
Zha Kang moved his body and blew kisses to the girls who were seeing him off in the distance. He was also looking forward to seeing Xiao Zha, whom he had not seen for almost three months.
But before the three Masons opened the door to the world and left, a silver-gray Quinjet fell from the sky. Nick Fury walked out of the cabin, followed by someone wearing a bomber jacket and sunglasses, carrying a suitcase and a travel bag. Agent Bland.
"Mason, to establish a connection between two worlds, it is natural not to make a verbal agreement."
The braised eggs are also unambiguous and straightforward:
"Agent Brand took the initiative to apply to go to your world to serve as our liaison and permanent representative. Dr. Reed is studying the cross-world communication device you left behind and the results will be available soon.
We are still quite busy here. After the aftermath of this matter is dealt with, we will officially send a delegation to visit your side. We will discuss formal cooperation matters at that time.
Do you have anything else to add? ”
"No, you arranged it very well."
Mason nodded to Agent Brand. He had a good impression of his capable compatriot, but he still reminded Nick Fury:
"After we leave, people from the Star Society will come to incorporate your world into the system. I have taken care of everything, and there will be no disturbances in this process.
But be careful about your own safety.
I've reminded you before where the threat comes from. If you really can't escape, remember to open the box I left for you. But Fury, don't do that until the critical moment! ”
"I understand."
Lu Dan looked confident, he said:
"I have offended too many people in my life. I have too much say in how to avoid being hunted. Now it is just another me who wants to kill me.
Gee, what a novel experience. "(End of Chapter)
