Chapter 711 9. Just a doomsday ark? No! Don’t underestimate your opponents
Mason stated his plan straight to the point, and told Luther directly that he really wanted to get involved in the rebellion's attack on the Council's rule in this world.
It sounds very casual. If ordinary people said this, they would be kicked out by Luther. Suddenly, if they have an idea, they would risk being kicked out to participate in the resistance activities?
Your sudden idea is really awesome.
So if when it comes time to take action, you have a sudden thought and don't plan to participate, what will the rest of us do?
This is not a treat, this is a real fight! And if an operation is unsuccessful, it means that all previous preparations will be in vain.
What's more, he was not familiar with the enthusiastic and famous young man in front of him, and the hearsay information could not be used as a basis for action planning.
No matter how you look at it, the risks of working with Mason are too great.
The old Luther instinctively wanted to refuse, but before he spoke, he glanced at Mason again.
He knew the great things this young man had done in the past few months. Although it was equivalent to being trapped in the core world of the Council, whether a person was important to an organization could be judged through some clues.
Especially for a smart man like Luther, just by looking at the sharp increase in the frequency of the name Mason Cooper appearing in the Council's internal documents, you know that this guy has definitely become the top member of the currently shaky Hope Council. The absolute natural enemy.
It is absolutely impossible for such a person to say or do something as he said on the spur of the moment.
Maybe Mason actually has a complete idea and plan?
Thinking of this, Luther suppressed the idea of refusing again. He made a "please" gesture, which meant that he wanted Mason to tell him his plan in detail for his reference.
It wouldn't hurt to give it a listen anyway.
By the way, if there are any additional conditions, you can also state them together.
For a wise man like Old Luther, who has seen strong winds and waves, experienced nine deaths and even raised a Kryptonian with his own hands, he believes more in the exchange of interests than in passion.
Although it sounds realistic, after stripping away the emotional impact, the things that are truly beneficial to both parties are worth doing without fear of being stabbed in the back.
"My idea is very simple, so simple that it can be said in one sentence."
Mason lit a cigarette, pulled out a chair and sat across from Luther, he said:
"My current status is a special envoy of the Garden World under the Council, and I was invited to attend the regular meetings of Tomorrow's World. Although I have not participated in similar high-profile meetings, I heard that it was completely high-profile but a waste of time.
But the point is that such regular meetings often involve many Garden World envoys, and they are either one of the groups responsible for each Garden World, or they are inextricably linked to those groups.
Through their relationship, they can quickly contact the huge world system under the Council, directly affecting trillions of lives.
I have my career and it is advancing steadily. Although I am here alone to settle these grievances with my own hands, I will not hesitate to add more bricks and stones to the cause I serve if I can help.
And more than verbal pleading, I think a major rebellion that occurred in the heart of the Council would allow those envoys to see clearly the decay and decay of the system they serve.
This is much more effective than wasting my saliva on a short essay of tens of thousands of words. ”
"Well, this reason is very reasonable. If I were in your position, I don't think I would miss this opportunity."
Luther nodded and commented.
Mason probably saw his suspicion, so he explained the reason for his action.
He didn't have to do this. There was a huge difference between the honorary leader of the new utopian project that was currently in full swing and a person like him who was hiding in a certain world to resist. But Mason was willing to explain, which made Luther feel a little bit. respect.
It’s good to have this attitude.
Old Luther took a sip of his wine, thought for a moment, and said:
"If we decide to act, I will try my best to ensure that no harm is done to those envoys who will convey your thoughts and ideas to the distant world.
This is the most sincere guarantee I can give. Let’s talk about something pragmatic next. What’s your plan? ”
"It's simple."
Mason snapped his fingers and said:
"I will go to the parliament tomorrow and make some noise there to help you involve the garrison in Hope City, so that you can contact the outside world and move around in the city.
Whether you want to blow up this place or burn it down, occupy or overthrow it is up to you.
I have only one request.
Don't kill too many people.
Those who can be gathered on this planet are the elites selected by the Council from all over the earth. It is no exaggeration to say that they are all the proud ones of heaven and the best among men.
I hope they can participate in more correct causes instead of losing their lives in a daze.
As for whether you are loyal to the Council's philosophy, it is not particularly important. This is already the fifth impact. It is conservatively estimated that the era will change after at most two rounds of impact.
Their loyalty and their ideas cannot change the overall situation.
I just need them to actually do something useful, and if our operation goes smoothly, those garden worlds will also need the resources and unified scheduling to prepare for the integration. ”
Mason blew out a smoke ring and explained:
“Instead of wasting time and energy on rebuilding a system, it’s better to just use the current one, what do you think?”
"I'm not sure about that."
Old Luther also said frankly:
"There are only so many people in the resistance army. Whether the people in the city can survive or not is not up to me. Once the army of the sixth sequence comes to the border, it will be decided by the accuser Ronan and the interest groups around him.< br>
Personally, I don’t want to see rivers of blood either.
We are resisters, we are not massacres, nor are we lunatics who just want to watch the world burn.
And rather than discussing how to deal with the prisoners, I doubt whether you can hold back the entire Hope City garrison on your own? Even if twelve series of conquerors defected, it would still be a terrifying number. ”
"Hey, bald old man, what are you talking about!"
Before Mason said anything, the cuties beside him were dissatisfied.
Harley put her hands on her hips and said unhappily:
"What is sitting in front of you is the reverser of the dark age, the sage of hope, the honorary leader of all rebels, the destroyer of Unicron, the absolute enemy of the invincible Galactus, the one who single-handedly destroyed at least five conquerors of the Sequence Liberation The most handsome and dashing superhero in the world, Mr. Robin
I have no doubt what little sweetie can do, and you shouldn’t! ”
"You missed a lot of titles! And the order is wrong."
Quinn was disrupting the situation and added:
"Mr. K is also the Messiah of the mutants, the Doomsday Beast of Hogwarts, the Stormbreaker of the Endless Sea, the Demon Slayer, the Twilight Lord of the Stars, etc.
All in all, it’s awesome!
Super awesome! ”
The two cuties praised Mason as something rare in heaven and earth.
Mason himself was embarrassed by this rainbow fart. He waved his hands to tell the little cuties to calm down, coughed again and said to old Luther:
"Don't listen to them. I have never heard of many of these nicknames and titles myself, but I think you really shouldn't have this doubt.
If all the powerful directors were there, I might have to think about it, but the current situation is that I heard that many powerful directors have disappeared. After the death of old A, who is the chief arbitrator in your mouth, that small group has disappeared. Essentially falling apart.
The Hope Council looks like a behemoth, but in fact it is just a power organization built around a small circle at the top. When its core is lost, it can only maintain a seemingly huge but actually exhausted shell. It was like a shabby house that looked gorgeous on the outside but collapsed on the inside.
As long as we step up and kick it, it will collapse.
Although under the current circumstances, the symbolic significance of this kick is greater than the practical significance, someone has to do it.
I have the confidence to fight for opportunities for you, it just depends on whether you are willing to risk everything and challenge me.
I said it first. ”
Mason knocked on the table and said to Old Luther:
"Whether you join or not, I will carry out my plan tomorrow. The only difference is that without your cooperation, I estimate that I will have to rack my brains to write a touching essay to persuade people to surrender when I go back tonight."
< br>
"With less than twenty-four hours, I am reluctant to contact the Sixth Sequence, let alone organize a large-scale assault and landing."
Old Luther rubbed his chin and expressed his doubts, but Mason didn't care at all. He waved his hands and said:
"That's a problem for Ronan to consider, not your trouble. You have to keep up with the changes in the situation, Luther. Now that you have my help, Ronan, who has evil intentions and wants to seize the fruits of victory, is no longer necessary to resist victory. .
In fact, even without him, I can create an army that is no less powerful than the Sixth Sequence to support you. What I mean is, from now on, you have to realize that you have become the leader in this cooperation!
There is no need to look at Ronan's eyes anymore.
As for what he thinks about this and what actions he will take, I don't care at all. When facing Doom, I still need to calculate the probability of victory or defeat.
But if the opponent is Ronan and his sixth sequence, then I can tell you that we will definitely win.
The trend is achieved!
The wheel of history is rolling forward, and he can either join it or hide far away. If he wants to reverse the course, the only way is to be crushed to death. ”
"Yeah."
Luther nodded, indicating that he would think about it, and then he raised another question. He said:
"You said you came here to destroy the Council's End Star? Do you know where that thing is?"
"That's exactly what I wanted to ask you."
Mason narrowed his eyes and said:
"I'm sure it was cast in this world, but the people I sent searched the entire world and even the entire network but there are no clues.
They hid it.
And the god Lord Doom!
That guy has been hiding in the shadow of the Council. He carefully erased all traces of his actions, making it difficult for me to track him. Can you give me some useful information? ”
"I only know that Doom and his forces are hidden in the Doujie."
Luther Sr. didn't hide it.
He said very directly:
"As for how to enter the demiplane attached to the material world, I have no idea. As you said, there is very little information in this area.
As for the 'End Star', I do have some information, but maybe you think too much. I can only tell you that even among the top leaders of the Council, there are very few people who have seen that thing with their own eyes.
Although it is indeed a project that many people know about, it is like a veil covering it, making it invisible. ”
"Yes, at first I thought it was just a plan to survive the doomsday, like a doomsday ark. Its significance should be similar to the integration promoted by the New Utopia Project.
But the more I looked into the plan, the more I realized something wasn't quite right. ”
Mason rubbed his forehead and said:
"Its existence has been kept secret to an extent that is far beyond what a salvation plan should be. It makes me wonder if there are other more profound meanings behind this project promoted by the council.
And Doom's reaction was also very strange.
Logically speaking, if he is just trying to survive the end of the world, then there is no need for him to continue to stubbornly promote the progress of the end of the world after the death of old A.
He has seen the success of the fusion project with his own eyes. He only needs to hide in a corner and wait calmly to follow our actions and enter an era.
But now it seems that he will never give up until the entire project is completed. He is a truly smart man, and the fact that he can invest so stubbornly seems to indicate that there is something else inside the End Star.
Maybe
Surviving the apocalypse is only part of the function of that plan, not even the main function. ”
Old Luther didn't speak for a long time.
He stared at Mason with a curious look until nearly half a minute later, he put down the wine glass in his hand and asked seriously:
"Are these all your guesses based on the existing situation?"
"It's not just speculation, I also have some evidence to support it."
Mason took out the incomplete Rorschach diary from his bag, put it on the table and said to Old Luther:
"This is what old A left for me.
I admit that that guy was an absolute bastard, the kind of hopeless person who couldn't atone for his sins even if killed a hundred times, but he must have had some ulterior motive for leaving this thing to me before he died.
Of course, it's also possible that he was using me to get rid of some guys he couldn't stand, but I think the former is more likely.
The End Star Project has secrets.
It's a secret that even Old A has to treat with caution. ”
"This thing"
Old Luther stared at the Rorschach diary in front of him. After opening a few pages and looking at it, he hesitated for a moment, stood up and leaned on his cane and said to Mason:
"I have one too. Come with me. Since we have decided to cooperate, I have to show you something."
"Huh? You have one too?"
Mason was stunned when he heard Luther's words.
He stood up and followed the bald old man towards a secret door in the office that led to the lower level, and asked:
"Where did your share come from? So is this thing still a collection mission? Or is it some important clearance prop or something like that?"
"It was just an accident."
Luther explains:
"When I first came to this world, the local resistance army was cut off by the Arbitration Tribunal, and the population was depleted. I took advantage of the situation to take over the organization, and found it from the relics of the previous leader.
Because I don't have the first half of the volume in your hand, it's difficult for me to understand some of the contents in the diary, but it does record some of the discoveries made by this 'Rorschach' in tracking down the 'End Star' plan. These things are important to you. Should be useful. ”
"Who was the last leader of the rebels?"
Mason asked further, and Luther said without looking back:
"A woman named 'Silk Soul' died at the hands of the Arbitration Tribunal's pursuers two months before I came. According to some old resistance elements, 'Silk Soul' is just a code name. She was someone The last member of a long-gone rebel hero organization.
It is said that he vowed to resist because his boyfriend died at the hands of the council more than ten years ago. ”
"Night Owl."
Mason sighed and said the name. He touched the Rorschach diary in his hand and said softly:
"A good old man who was evaluated as weak by Rorschach. It seems that Night Owl, who chose not to care about good and evil, was eventually involved in this mess by Rorschach who insisted on going his own way."
"When the building is about to collapse, how can any member of the common people escape the catastrophe when darkness falls? A grain of sand in the doomsday era will be as heavy as a mountain that cannot be moved away on ordinary people."
Old Luther limped and opened an encrypted mechanical door. He coughed and said:
"Even a superhero is just the stronger one among all the ants. Well, you will see some "weird" things next. I hope you won't be surprised so as not to scare it.
It's a little timid.
And once you are scared, things will become very troublesome. ”
"Ha, we are well-informed! How could we be intimidated?"
Harley followed him nonchalantly, followed closely by Mason. A few seconds later, the three of them looked at each other, standing blankly staring at the "thing" in front of them that was picked up by the old Luther.
The commander-in-chief is well-informed, and at this moment his brain was spinning and he couldn't help but ask:
"What is that thing in your arms!!!" (End of Chapter)
