Chapter 686 53. Although the main mission is completed, isn’t there still DLC to be completed?
Mason saw the man who claimed to be taking him away.
But there is actually no face in that ball of light. Rather than pretending to be a ghost, it is more like a person standing in the light. Because the light is too dazzling, all that is seen is the outline of a ball of light.
The captain did not fire immediately, he turned to look to the side.
Black Strange was still using magic to repair his damage, and Frog Tu was holding the record book in his hand and waiting for Mason to finish his speech at the "funeral" of the Star Club. Perfect Ultron took out a wine glass further away and A bottle of crude oil, obviously intended to make a cocktail that he greatly enjoyed.
These three big guys are extraordinary forces that Mason knows and has a close relationship with. If even they are not aware of what is happening in front of him, it means that Mason may have encountered the most troublesome "supernatural event" in history.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to hurt you."
The man in the light explained in a gentle tone:
"I just changed the flow of time. This too-broken timeline flows at the same speed around you as it does around them, which caused them to temporarily lose their perception of you.
No matter how long we chat here, for your friends, it is just a passing moment that is not worthy of attention. ”
"The principle sounds really simple, but I don't think it's something that can be done casually."
Mason doubtfully inserted the fate pistol back into his waist, and he complained:
"Just like every physics teacher who brags in class that he can make a nuclear bomb with his hands as long as he is given the raw materials, knowing is one thing, being able to do it is another.
So I dare to ask, who is stronger, you or the invincible Uncle Tun? ”
"It depends on which Galactus it is."
The man in the light shrugged, his tone remained gentle, and he joked:
"But I probably can't fight with Him. After all, His daughter and I are good friends. Okay, don't ask these weird questions. If you are interested in our story, you will have enough time to go through it after you go back." Books.
I'm just asking you as usual, do you want to leave here at this time?
We have evaluated that what you have done in this era has exceeded the minimum value that affects the change of the epoch. Because of the efforts and arrangements you made in the early stage, even if you leave now, the results of the change of the epoch will not be similar. changes on.
The fusion project will come to an end, and a healthy universe will be born after the formation of the 'Final Source Point'. The new world you expect will eventually arrive, and it will be created by you.
To be honest, when we sent you here, we really didn't expect that you would do this tricky job so well in such a short period of time. ”
"Did you throw that damn bottle?"
Mason's tone became unkind, but the person in front of him immediately waved his hand and explained:
"No, it's not me. I rarely drink. Drinks that make people lose control are a taboo for me. I just fished you out of the void. There was someone else who really sent you here. .
Although you don't know him, you have dealt with him many times, and every time you complain about the obscene and terrible item description.
I knew setting item descriptions to real-time feedback was a bad idea! ”
"Ha, it turns out it's the second bitch."
Mason snorted, looked up and down at the silhouette in the light, and said:
"So you are also involved, right? Those occasionally serious comments in the description are you posting barrages?"
"That's just me on duty."
The man in the light sighed and said:
"You are not the only person we have sent to a different world, and you are not the only one who needs attention, although you are indeed one of the best-qualified among this batch of newcomers.
Oh, just in case you still want to ask more questions in this regard, I can tell you directly that the original blueprint of ‘Goldfinger 2.0’ you used was made by me.
The ‘second pussy’ in your mouth was one of the first trial users, and he provided me with some valuable advice.
And you are currently using the ‘manufacturing module’ in the official version. After you go back, I need you to give me a trial report to make the third improvement.
However, I think that this job may be your responsibility, so you can submit the report directly to yourself.
Also, don’t complain about me in your heart anymore.
Those dirty words in my heart just now are really ugly. You should understand that for people like us, mind reading is just a basic ability, right? ”
"Then you want me to continue asking questions?"
Mason widened his eyes and said:
"You know the problems in my heart, why can't you tell me them all at once? Why do you have to pursue this strange sense of ritual in such a strange place!"
"Two reasons!"
The man shook his two fingers and said:
“First, I don’t have much time to stay here.
You should have understood from other aspects that your cosmic system is blocked, but this blockade is not for fun or other reasons, but precisely for protection.
The universe you live in has been a disease since its birth. There are many people outside who are very concerned about the direction of this universe and are trying to cure it.
You can understand that your universe is already lying in an ICU, and a large group of attending doctors are discussing how to save you, and I am one of these doctors.
You are the 'treatment' we offer those guys.
Logically speaking, I can't meet you before you officially complete your journey. Now this wave of conversations is classified as "smuggling", and I can't be discovered by them lest I get caught.
Second, I just said that your interference in the future of this universe has reached the point where it can change its direction. I am not forcing you to leave me now.
If you have played video games, you should understand.
This is like an open world game. You have completed the main mission, and now you can choose to turn off the computer and rest, or you can continue to complete the side missions you left aside, or download a DLC to play.
I just want to remind you, Mason, don't forget who you are.
You are a soul from the outside world, and you are not an "outside world" in the general sense. Therefore, when the era change occurs, you must stay away from this system, lest your "abnormal data" interfere with the iteration process of this universe. ”
The man in the light said very seriously and solemnly:
"If you insist on staying here at that time, there will be two consequences. The lesser one is that you will have the 'hometown breath' you carry with you wiped away, and you will be completely assimilated into a member of all living beings in this cosmic system, losing everything. Unique and truly in this world
And the more serious one.”
"I understand, it will cause the replacement process to fail or make errors."
Mason tilted his head and said:
"I am an engineer and I am also involved in data theory. I can understand your warning. Hei Qiqi told me before that this is the reason why he did not see me in the future scene?"
"Yeah."
The man in the light nodded and said:
"It's just that you need to stay away at that moment, and then you can come back and enjoy a destined long life with your friends in the next era.
To use the terms you are familiar with, it is feasible and acceptable to regard this as your 'base world' or 'base universe'.
So, your answer? ”
"Of course I'll stay here until the end!"
The captain made his decision without any hesitation. He raised his head and said:
"I really don't feel at ease if I don't see the integration plan come to an end with my own eyes, and everything must have a beginning and an end. This is my responsibility and my obligation.
I believe that bad deeds must be punished, and there are still so many culprits at large. I have to deal with them before the era changes.
Let the ashes of the old era drift away in the dark sea of stars, and do not bring them into the next new era to pollute the environment.
My mercy is not reserved for them!
I'm sure of this. ”
"Well, this answer is as expected. It seems that I came here in vain."
The man in the light nodded, but he was not angry because of Mason's choice. On the contrary, he took a step back very gently and said to Mason:
"Then I'll see you later, Mason Cooper.
I'm not sure if I will be the one to pick you up then. Considering that other people may not be as easy to talk to as me, I have to leave you a key in advance. ”
He raised his finger, letting a ball of light float in front of Mason, and the light and shadow danced to form a crystal clear key, hanging in the palm of the captain's hand.
He said:
"After you have done what you should do, insert this key into the keyhole and you can return to our secret base. Friendly reminder, don't conflict with other people.
After all, you are the first non-combatant among us. If those guys get into trouble, you may not be able to bear it. ”
"You keep mentioning 'we'."
Mason asked:
"So it's an organization, right? It sounds pretty awesome."
"Yes, you will see it eventually."
The man in the light waved goodbye to Mason and said:
"But let's reveal this secret after your story is really over. I helped you modify the door and made it a 'fool mode'. Now you can control it with your own thoughts.
By the way, it will help you locate its casting coordinates in the mind of every member of the Society of Stars. This is a one-time spell, and it will disappear automatically after you complete your declaration.
Well, now that it’s all said and done
In fact, you have the potential to become a top spellcaster, Mason. If you had studied magic with Zha Kang or Xiao Zha at the beginning of your journey, you can easily do these things now.
I'm not afraid of your jokes. When I caught you in the void, I made a bet with others that you would become a glorious spell caster.
Just like me.
But it’s not bad to become a master craftsman. At least I won’t need to spend time worrying about those tedious logistics in the future.
Come as soon as possible, there is plenty of work for you here. ”
"Just saying that makes me more pessimistic about my future career."
Mason said in a long, expressionless voice:
"Shouldn't we talk about salary first when recruiting people? How do I feel that you guys who seem to be very qualified actually want to prostitute me for free?"
"Haha, you are really humorous."
The man in the light smiled, and then disappeared in the dancing light.
From beginning to end, Mason never saw the face hidden in the light, but his impression of this guy was pretty good, at least much better than that dirty bastard who never left his lower body.
After the guy left, the flow of time around Mason immediately returned to normal.
"What are you doing standing still?"
Heiqi Qi next to him asked:
"Why do you have that weird look on your face like you've seen a ghost? We're all still waiting for you to make your announcement and end this terrible day."
"To tell you the truth, I just saw a ghost, but saying it might hurt your self-esteem, so I decided not to say it."
Mason rolled his eyes and glanced at his watch. Less than a second had passed.
He very much doubted that the guy just paused time, and even a spellcaster of Hei Qi's level didn't notice the change in time. It seemed that the strength of the guys who sent him here was indeed unimaginably strong.
This is at least a skeleton-level BOSS, right?
Mason retracted his thoughts, put the crystal key in his hand in his pocket, and once again put his hand on the World Gate. The feeling this time was completely different from before.
The complex magic that obscured his vision seemed to be simplified into principles he could understand in an instant. The various functions of this door were listed in a clear order like programming, and the item labels that had been unable to be refreshed were also displayed. In front of Mason:
Gate of the World·Sealed Artifact No. 001
Quality: Engineering/Alchemy/Inscription/Enchanting/Forging Cosmic Artifact·Immortal Relic
Characteristics: Plane Seal·Unique·Never Wear·Projection of All Realms
Effect:
1. Sealed object:
This item exists as a blockade node of a plane seal and is bound to the existence of the sealed plane. The item is considered indestructible until the plane is destroyed or dies naturally.
When the item is turned off, all powers and concepts in the target plane cannot be connected with other worlds, and are regarded as "non-existent" in biological cognition.
hint!
The seal is currently in good condition, but there is a loophole in the seal body. A natural path in the quantum microscopic dimension that has existed since the birth of the plane has been discovered and used, resulting in a decrease in seal effectiveness.
Administrator Mason Cooper is asked to handle this as soon as possible before the situation gets out of hand.
2. Projection Gate:
The item was made according to the suggestion of the previous manager Mephisto, who gave it the effect of traveling through the planes and creating a projection. Under the authority of the manager, the item can make lower nodes and bind them to different plane coordinates. Determine, designate the core of projection gate management and allow those who meet the conditions to use lower-level projection gates to travel through the realms.
There is no limit on the number of lower nodes, and the conditions for use are determined by the custodian of the World Gate.
Currently, the number of gates with lower node projections is: 34597.
The current core location of Projection Gate management is: Star Castle.
The current conditions for using the projection door are: members of the [Star Club] and those who have concluded a soul contract. (This condition has expired due to the death of the contractor.)
hint!
Administrators can cancel all currently existing projection gates by revoking the management core and turning off this function.
3. External connection points:
[Name deleted] created a temporary space-time coordinate for the item, which can be opened by using a specific key, allowing the World Gate manager to leave the universe system and go to the upper universe.
warn!
This feature can only be used once and is only available to Keeper Mason Cooper.
Producer: Fox Nest/Mephisto, an affiliate of the Council of Hope
Item Description: You little idiot, don’t be deceived by that guy [name deleted]. The reason why he ran to you now was not to pick you back. Those reasons to persuade you were also made up on the spot.
It's just that the golden finger he wrote couldn't parse out the specific information of this unlucky thing that was closely related to the fate of the universe and was endowed with a high degree of symbolism, so he had to go and patch it in person to show his omnipotence. , and cover up the fatal and clumsy BUG of "Goldfinger 2.0" he produced.
In short, that guy is not a good person, he is the most vain one among us!
Don't listen to what he says, especially the ones he slanders about me, I'm the best! I'm the kindest guy in our bunch of bad guys and a good friend to everyone.
"Hey, I believe you are the only one who is stupid, you bastard who litters and breaks people's heads without apologizing!"
The captain cursed and then activated the consciousness transmission.
The next moment, his projection flickered in the hearts of every member of the Society of Stars. No matter what they were doing at the moment, everyone stopped what they were doing.
They realize that something closely related to them is about to happen.
They realized that the Miracleman in front of them, who had just executed Mephisto and granted freedom to everyone, was about to convey his will, and everyone fell silent.
All the stars fell silent.
Just to hear Mason Cooper's voice. (End of chapter)
