Chapter 122 5. The person who investigated the Bat family in Gotham? Have you consulted the master? 【410】
"beep beep"
Just as Mason and Zha Kang were busy around the gate of the world, the young man's cell phone rang suddenly. He frowned and took off the enchanted glove on his hand, picked up the phone and glanced at it.
It was a call from Catwoman, which made Mason raise his eyebrows again, and walked to the French window to connect to the communication. Then he heard Selena, who was spending the evening in Wayne Manor, say to him in a low voice:
"Mason, who have you offended? Bruce greeted a mysterious guest. I just heard them discussing about you. The guy named 'Brad' was asking about your background and current situation."
Hearing the first-hand news about Catwoman, Mason immediately had a headache.
He said:
"This matter is very complicated. It has something to do with my bad friend in the magic circle. I can't say a few words clearly. We will talk when you come over to 'drink'.
Bingshan Bar will have a soft opening tomorrow, as a distinguished guest, you must ‘attend’. "
Catwoman is so smart.
After hearing Mason use the code word, she reacted immediately. She let out a female laughter and said:
"Of course, of course, I am a minority shareholder of that bar, I will definitely go to my own property and have a good time, and reserve a box for me tomorrow night.
I'll bring some friends over to cheer.
That's all for now. "
After speaking, Selena hung up the communication and glanced at the wall of the next room.
Mason was reminding her that Mr. "Brad" could hear their phone conversation, eh, another troublesome character.
"The devil knight went to Wayne Manor!"
Mason put down his phone and turned to Kang Zha:
"That guy is following me. It's such a troublesome character. Can you think of a way to give him to me?"
"Don't bother."
Jakon, who was holding a golden rod to add extra inscriptions to the gate of the world and was about to enchant it, said without raising his head:
"Jason Brad's body is a high-ranking demon. You may have no idea about this statement. Let me use a simpler description.
If the big battle that the Assassin Alliance staged that night was aimed at Brad, then he alone could kill them all within thirty minutes.
The body is burned and even the soul is devoured.
Once that guy enters the demon form, it is estimated that only Bat Boy in this city has the ability to contain him. If he wants to defeat him, he must call for helpers. "
"I have heard some rumors about him."
Mason squinted his eyes and said:
"But you also said that Jason Brad in human form has conflicts with the demon in his body. Maybe we can take advantage of this?"
"It's a good idea, but all the people who thought so in the previous hundreds of years are dead."
Konstantin looked up at Mason, and said quietly:
"Don't even think about it, can a guy who seals a high-ranking demon in his body be an ordinary person? Even if Brad doesn't summon a demon, he can still easily open Wushuang in Gotham City if he is given a hand and a half sword." .
He is a Holy Grail Knight who has lived to this day in King Arthur's time!
The demon in his body was sealed by the archmage Merlin himself. His first lover was Morgan Le Fay, and his current lover is Nimue, the wife of Shangdu.
Don't underestimate him, Mason.
He is really, really dangerous.
You can think of him as a magical version of 'Superman', he may not be a match for the freaks of the Justice League, but he can kill us small characters with one hand. "
"Then there's no way."
Mason spread his hands and said helplessly:
"We can only use the last resort. If you can't beat it, join! Just like I dealt with you, let's find a way to bring Jason Brad into the K team."
Let him see with his own eyes how those of us "underground workers" who are in the dark and have a bright heart fight against the stars. "
"Well."
Mason's proposal made Zha Kang stunned, wanting to refute but feeling powerless to complain.
The black magician tilted his head and thought for a while, and felt that although Mason's proposal was to order takeout from pandas, it really hurt his family, but it was indeed a no-brainer.
And this proposal is quite in line with Zha Kang's character.
This guy belongs to the kind of bad guy who wakes up from the cold at night and lifts the quilt for his roommate. He was tricked by Mason himself. How can he not invite others to enjoy such a sour feeling?
"This method is good!"
Ten seconds later, Zha Kang showed a smirk and waved his thumb, saying:
"Leave it to me, I'll plan it, make sure nothing goes wrong! Let me tell you, Brad is a good fighter! Once he goes completely crazy and actively uses demon power, he can even fight Superman for ten minutes with all his strength." defeat.
And because of demon possession, he is immortal.
is simply the perfect candidate for cannon fodder. "
"I absolutely trust your ability to deceive people, but let's get this door done first."
Mason put on the enchanted gloves again and squatted down to start processing the inscriptions and enchantments on the door. The branch hat fell into a deep sleep, but before falling asleep, he had told Mason all the key points, and Mason would teach it to Zha Kang.
This kind of advanced hidden enchantment and energy balance inscription needs to inject magic power every time it is drawn, and Mason can only complete some simple rune outlines.
The complicated ones still have to be done by Zha Kang.
Of course, when two men work together, it is always boring and boring, and they always need some topics to adjust their emotions, so Zha Kang quickly talked about his "happy life" in the past two days.
"Let me tell you, when I gave 'Baoli' to Xiao Zha, her eyes were straight!"
Zha Kang proudly exhaled the smoke ring, and said in a drawn out voice:
"She kept asking me where I found a living little unicorn, and I made up a theory but the answer wasn't really important.
Especially if I take the initiative to bridge emotional issues.
She saw my sincerity, there was no doubt about it.
We had a candlelight dinner together, fed the little unicorn together, and then took a bath together, together.”
"Stop! The rest don't need to be described in such detail."
Mason interrupted blankly and said:
"I'm really not interested in the details of your overly rich and corrupt private life, John. Instead of talking about these, let me tell you some details about the magic meeting you attended in the mystery room.
For example, are you sure this is just a unilateral action by the magicians, and there is no linkage with the Justice League?
I always feel that this is not right. "
The young man rubbed his chin, thought for a few seconds, organized his words, and said to Zha Kang, who was reminiscing about the "beautiful life" of the past day and night:
"Do you remember when Batman left Gotham for a while?
When I visited Mr. Lucius a few days ago, I asked around. Since more than a year ago, Batman has disappeared for a few days from time to time.
I think Justice League is definitely pushing something in the dark as well.
Even including the actions of the League of Assassins around the world not long ago, although it was because you notified them urgently, don’t you feel that the speed of the Justice League’s actions is a bit outrageous?
In less than thirty minutes, several actions of the League of Assassins around the world were dealt with at the same time!
This is obviously a similar plan in advance!
So John, what do you think? "
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
Zha Kang blinked and said:
"Sorry, I didn't listen to you just now, something boring about Justice League blah blah blah. I'm recalling little Zana's rare enthusiasm.
Maybe I should find more surprise gifts like little unicorns during the journey across the world? "
"Alas, you are hopeless! Brother."
Mason sighed and said no more.
Jackson obviously had his own answer to this question, but he would pretend to be stupid and didn't want to say that Mason didn't want to ask anymore, but instead led the topic to another aspect.
He looked at the colorful gate of the world smeared with alchemy solutions and enchanting sigils in front of him, and said:
"Two days later it will be the day of the trade fair, I plan to take you, Selena, Ertong and Barbara with me.
Charles and Jack need to stay in Gotham, we're going for three days so someone has to cover us, especially now that Jason Brad is after me.
He also met with Bruce, and Batman's monitoring of me may be restarted.
What a hassle! "
Jackson snapped his fingers and said:
"Let Spiro play you for a while, that guy is very good at this kind of thing so don't worry about revealing. But are you ready for the fair?"
"Prepare a part."
Mason patted the suitcase by his hand and said:
"Potions, engineering items, plus some rare raw materials and magic items, these are the common trading items of the K team, and we have to share the exchanged items equally.
But if you prepare something to exchange yourself, then I can't control it. "
"Cool, that's the answer I want to hear."
Konstantin grinned evilly and said:
"Just when I was leaving the mysterious house, I brought back some good things from Xiao Zha's collection. I can't be busy all day and night, right?"
"You steal money from your girlfriend while you're driving her to sleep?"
Mason looked at the proud black mage in front of him in astonishment.
He wanted to think of an appropriate word to describe the **** in front of him, but after much deliberation, he could only sigh helplessly and say:
"You are such an out-and-out scumbag, John, now I am really curious why a good girl like Xiao Zha can get entangled with you?
It's really a flower stuck in cow dung. "
"Tch, you don't understand, if Xiao Zha cared about those things, she would have put them away before she invited me into her bedroom."
Constantine exhaled smoke rings and said plausibly:
"And this is the way we get along, you don't understand! Just be jealous, just because I'm a toad that ate swan meat."
—
"That's how it happened.
Although Constantine explained this space-time disturbance with a perfect rhetoric, based on my understanding of him, I can basically be sure that there is still an inside story about this matter.
Something he and his friends didn't want me to know. "
In the living room of Wayne Manor, Jason Bullard, sitting on the sofa with his back straight like an ancient knight, held a coffee in one hand.
Said to Bruce Wayne who was sitting across from him:
"I need your help, Batman."
"Please call me Bruce here."
Master Batman sat on the chair opposite the Devil Knight in a relaxed posture that a rich man should have. He was over thirty-eight years old but still handsome and very calm, looking at the visitor in front of him.
After hesitating for a few seconds, the master replied:
"You mean, you need me to give you all the information about Constantine?"
"No!"
The Demon Knight stared at Bruce, and he said:
"I mean 'Mason Cooper', the information you gathered about John Constantine is what he wanted you to know, and the fabricated information is useless to me.
But Mason Cooper is on my mind.
His experience of being reborn last month is very consistent with the growth process of those hosts related to evil that I have seen in the past long time.
I suspect that there is some mysterious power behind that young man.
Combined with his active performance in the 'Outsider' incident, I have reason to investigate him. But Gotham is your place, Bruce Wayne.
I need your help. "
"You mean, permission?"
Master raised his eyebrows and said:
"You didn't come to ask for help at all, Brad, you just came to ask me for permission to act. You have already identified Mason as a suspect."
The demon knight remained silent.
But he doesn't contradict Batman's claim, just watches him, waiting for an answer.
Master shook his head and said:
"He's a member of the Bat-Family! Brad, I have an obligation to protect his private information and the little secrets he's been hiding. And as far as I know, your 'investigative methods' have always been very, uh, wild.
I cannot allow you to hurt him. "
"Then you come!"
The devil knight drank the coffee in his hand in one gulp, stood up and adjusted his clothes, took out a unique hourglass and put it on the table, and said to the master in front of him:
"I just need an answer, and if you can give me an answer, I don't have to bother that young man. But if you can't get an answer, then I will have to figure it out myself.
This may be a little rough.
But I believe that as one of the founders of the Justice League, you also fully understand the grim situation we are facing now. There's only one month left after all, Bruce Wayne.
This number was told to us by you.
Please understand that.
But I'm not alone in the world waiting for this answer. "
After speaking, Jason Brad nodded to the master coldly, then turned and left.
Alfred sent the guests to the door instead of Bruce Wayne. When Alfred came back, he saw Bruce sitting on the sofa and holding two photos in his hand.
"Master"
Ah Fu whispered:
"Maybe you should talk to Mason, I mean to be honest, he's not a bad guy."
"But he doesn't want to talk to me, Fu."
Batman sighed, put the photo in his hand on the table and whispered:
"I should give Mason a certain amount of credit after what we've been through together. I just don't want to see what happened to Jason and Barbara.
Am I doing this right? "
Bruce looked up at Ah Fu, and he said:
"Knowing that he is a breakthrough, but betting the survival of us and the world on the choice he will make, this trust may be a bit too heavy.
It doesn't matter to him.
It's still true for me. "
Alfred looked down at the photos in Bruce's hand. One was Mason flying across Crime Alley on a flying motorcycle in the night, and the other was Selena wearing a bathrobe and putting on makeup.
Both photos have been processed in a special way, and the red marks on them circle a common point. Both have a magically covered tattoo on their left arm
Tattoos like ghost claws.
This made Ah Fu’s expression heavy, and he whispered:
"Did you contact Miss Zatanna for any news?"
"Um."
Bruce nodded with his eyes closed and said:
"She personally confirmed that John Constantine is also a member of their small team."
"But wasn't it Mr. Constantine who first informed the Justice League about the Outsiders and League of Assassins plot?"
Ah Fu frowned and said:
"If they are a team, it means that Ms. Selena and Mason are very likely to be involved in this warning, and it also proves that they have no malicious intentions towards us.
As a former agent, I can even think that they may be 'protecting' us in a dangerous way. "
"That's why I decided to wait, Fu."
Batman stood up and said:
"Before Mason or Selena confess these things to me, it must be kept secret, and no one should know, otherwise it will cause trouble for them and cut off a 'hidden option' we have in this crisis."
"Um."
The old butler nodded, and said with concern:
"But the rest of the Justice League and the pressure from the wizarding world."
Master looked out of the window and said with deep eyes:
“If they have questions, just ask me!”
