Chapter 198 81. Mr. Hunter loves you--add more for the "Autistic Captain" brother [315]
"Barbara, don't run away, it's done here. Come back and meet me, don't be afraid, the assassins behind you will send you here, don't conflict with them for now."
When the night rain faded away, Batgirl, who was chasing and fleeing in embarrassment, received a message from Mason. The deep voice of the captain relieved her nervousness.
It really doesn't feel good to be surrounded by a group of murderous assassin saints.
Tonight's embarrassment is second only to Batgirl's desperate feeling when the number one lunatic in Gotham brought a gun to her home to seek revenge.
She took a breath and looked at the secret guest beside her who had already started to wobble. The blond lady dragged her all the way to jump over. Without her protection, Barbara would have been caught long ago.
At this moment, Batgirl hurriedly supported the crumbling secret guest, told her the good news that she was safe, and wanted to take her back to meet Mason.
However, the secret guest refused.
"I can go out by myself, don't worry about me."
The blond chick flicked her long hair, her face was pale but she still pretended to be chic and said:
"Actually, you, a rookie, have been dragging me down, do you understand? Without you, I would have jumped to the other side of the world long ago."
“But the whole world is locked down.”
Barbara said worriedly:
"The gate of the world can't be used, how should you leave?"
"When they release you to leave, the suppression effect of this weird device around the world will definitely weaken, and I will be able to take the opportunity to run away by then."
The secret guest looked at the kind-hearted girl in front of her. She sighed and comforted her:
"Anyway, don't worry about me, don't forget that I have a backer! The powerful and swift swordsman-sama will not give up her followers, and I may return to safety faster than you.
Come, leave a contact information, little girl.
In the future, let's get closer. "
A few minutes later, Barbara came out of the building where she was hiding with her hands raised. In the light in front of her, those assassin saints in white robes and black robes, whose expressions could not be seen clearly but outlines, yelled at her to put down their weapons. .
In the shadow of the building behind her, the swordsman leaned on his great soul sword and watched Barbara being sent into a black helicopter, and then he was completely relieved.
She glanced at the sky above her head where no raindrops were falling.
The torrential rain came and went quickly, and basically disappeared after the K team escaped from danger, as if to set off the thrill of the whole incident.
"Mason Cooper"
The swordsman narrowed his eyes.
She whispered as she jumped out of this danger zone:
"Hey, see you next time, funny little guy."
On the other side, in the underground temple in New York, several "artificial saints" who also have the biological information of the Isu inventor are urgently adjusting the energy level of the aurora device.
According to Master Malaka, er, Master Cassandra's request, they will adjust the coverage of the Aurora Device to a weakened state after a few minutes, so that the K team can open the door to the world and leave here.
In order to prevent it from being infiltrated by the outside world again, this energy trough will only last for a few seconds, but it is completely enough for Mason.
"How many golden apples are still operating synchronously with the aurora device in orbit around the planet?"
Under the lingering scenery of the pale streamer projected by the photonic computer of the Great Temple, Mason looked up at the complex and abnormal parallel world projection model suspended above his head, and asked:
"You are so eager to risk a full-scale invasion to lure the stars into your world, probably because this device is not sustainable?"
"You know quite a lot."
Beside him, Sister Ka, who had put on her hood again, was playing with an Isu-style hip flask, and replied casually:
"As expected of the guy who awakened the memories of the 'master craftsman', Hephaestus was once one of the designers and forgers of the Aurora device, and it doesn't make sense to hide these things from you.
More than 70,000 years have made this device rotten. In its heyday, only 48 of the planetary defense system composed of 220 golden apples are still functioning.
It works only marginally, relying on the Isu's arcane knowledge of space and dimensions to seal us off from the dying parallel world system.
Using the current popular saying, it is a 'sandbox', but as you said, this kind of 'hiding' is no longer sustainable. "
Sister Ka shook her head and said in a low voice:
“However, it has already protected us through three shocks. Can we ask it to do better?”
"Three times?"
Mason turned around in surprise and said:
"Only two impact events have occurred in the records of the Constellation, and the third one is on the way but has not yet occurred."
"Oh? Then how do you think the Isu who were able to design such an ingenious miracle device became extinct?"
Sister Ka smiled, took a sip of her wine and said:
"Three shocks indeed, Mason.
It’s just because the first impact took place too long ago and its shape was different from the two subsequent ones. The “cosmic tremor” more than 70,000 years ago has not been observed and recorded, but the Isu people are aware of it because of it. extinct.
They called it the 'Toba Catastrophe'.
The Constellation has only been established for more than 20 years so far, but our world has been preparing for the shock event as early as 70,000 years ago.
You organized this halberd into the sand not because of strength, but purely as a result of arrogance and arrogance.
Unfortunately, according to our observations and the calculation of the "Three Goddesses of Fate" program of the World Tree host, after this impact is over, the Aurora device will gradually fail.
The maximum time left for us is three months.
Then we will completely lose our camouflage and be exposed to the sight of the Constellation Society. With the character of the group of **** who must retaliate, what awaits us will be a terrifying retaliatory invasion.
Even extermination wars.
They will stop at nothing to obtain Isu knowledge, but I don't believe they will give that knowledge to worlds in need. "
"Then let them come!"
Mason sneered, and said solemnly:
"When the hounds set foot on this land, I guarantee that you will never fight alone. This place will become their grave, and the war will never end until they shed their last drop of blood."
"It seems that you have great confidence in your world, Mason."
Sister Ka observed Mason's expression, she chuckled lightly, and said:
"Perhaps this is the confidence of the Transcendent A Grade world? We tried our best to sneak attack and set up an ambush to achieve victory. For you, it only needs a hearty battle and it can be easily won.
Alas, it is really enviable. "
"Don't look down on yourself so much, Sister Ka."
Mason curled his lips and said:
"I have to admit that before experiencing all this personally, I couldn't imagine that a B-level world could cause such great damage to the stars. You have fully proved the truth that fighting depends on the brain.
But seriously, tell me before you do it next time.
With our cooperation, you can actually achieve greater results.
However, under the protection of the Aurora device, this world cannot obtain specific coordinates from the outside at all. How can I contact you after I go back? "
"That's a real problem."
Sister Ka nodded seriously.
But then she showed a royal smile and said to Mason:
"But that's your problem, Mason Cooper, and you've got to figure it out, and I think you're capable enough of it, before our poor world is destroyed.
It is no exaggeration to say that now our lives are in your hands. "
"My lord, the energy trough of the aurora device will arrive in three minutes!"
The staff at the high place shouted.
Sister Ka nodded, took a step back, and said to Mason:
"Then, see you next time, Mason and your K team."
Mason glanced at Barbara who was being sent behind him.
Batgirl is holding the phoenix egg that saved everyone before, Zha Kang and Er Tong who are walking weakly are supporting each other, and Mr. Hunter is placed in a biological cabin.
Her face was put back on the starry sky mask.
Mason obviously didn't intend to let other people know her true face, lest the latter become angry and draw a sword to kill everyone in the K team after recovering.
The gate of the world is already in preparation, as long as you wait for the exact time, you can cross over and leave this place.
"Mason, wait."
Mason looked back, and saw the Assassin Saint John Wick, who had been subdued by him before, walking towards him with a dog in his arms.
"This is?"
He raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then heard Cassandra explain:
"Think of John Wick as the representative of our world stationed in your place. After all, it is a major event of joint confrontation with the enemy, and it must be more formal. He will represent us to discuss some specific matters with the person in charge on your side.
After all, with your identities, if you want to hide in the Stars Club for a long time, you can't get too involved in this kind of thing. "
"Indeed, your consideration is very reasonable."
Mason glanced at the Assassin Saint who was holding a dog and had blood on his face. He squinted and said:
"But can someone else be? I'm afraid this guy goes to my city and kills the whole city with a pencil in a fit of rage one day after his puppy gets hurt by some drunken idiot
I've looked at your database and this has happened once. "
"Wick is the only one who has nothing to worry about."
Sister Ka shook her head and said:
"He is the most suitable person."
"All right."
Mason didn't object anymore, he hooked his fingers and said to the cold-faced evil star:
"Come on, Johnny, it will be a little dizzy to go through this door for the first time."
"Hi, next."
At the moment when the gate of the world opened, something was thrown over. Mason turned around and grabbed it, and felt a cold touch in his palm.
Then he heard Sister Ka say in ancient Greek behind him:
"Master Mason Cooper, Master Assassin, our friend, may the Hidden Blade protect you, and may Mother Earth bless you."
—
"嗡"
With a flash of light, Team K returned to the underground safe house in Port Miller.
Although it took only two days to carry out the team's mission in the past, it was the most dangerous situation that the K team has experienced since its establishment.
Although no one died, except for Mason, almost everyone who came back was injured. Not to mention that there is still a Mr. Hunter lying in the biological cabin waiting for treatment.
Mason glanced at the closed world door behind him. The coordinate scale on the brass door handle, which recorded the coordinates of the Assassin's world, was rapidly disappearing under the action of some external force.
That is the protection of the Aurora device, making that world untraceable.
This means that even if the stars want to retaliate, they can't find a specific target at all. At least before the aurora device fails, they can only suffer from this dumb loss.
He looked down at the gift in his hand again.
A Hidden Blade made of a special kind of leather and Isu metal, it is the status symbol of master assassins and their famous assassination weapon.
Using this thing obviously requires extremely high melee attainments, and Mason, who has never worked hard to practice melee combat, is not suitable for it.
This is just a symbol recognized by the other party.
But it's not useless.
"Here you are."
Mason threw the Master Hidden Sword in his hand to Erduan. The latter, a master of cold weapons, fell in love with it the moment he saw it, and started playing with it regardless of his injured body.
"Don't look for me for the next few days!"
The pale Zha Kang covered his stomach and shouted:
"I'm going to get drunk! I'm going to have fun! I'm going to play hard and not give money! I really don't want to go through this **** again, Mason.
Don't forget the serum you promised me!
Bastard, I've walked through **** and haven't gotten anything good. "
"Go, go, I will definitely not bother you, and I desperately need a break myself."
Mason rubbed his forehead and really didn't have the energy to argue with Zha Kang.
He arranged for Ertong, who was still able to move, to send Barbara home who was about to faint, and asked Zha Kang to take John Wick to the Iceberg Bar to get acquainted with the environment before meeting the hero of this world.
Finally, he put away the phoenix eggs by himself, and stayed alone in this underground safe house. He didn't plan to go back to his small shop, so he just took a rest here.
Physical exhaustion is second.
Mason felt that this was not a problem that could be alleviated by refreshing potions because of his mental retardation.
Before he lay on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep, he didn't forget to put the Isu cloak that could heal wounds on the hunter lady in the biological cabin.
After leaving the world of assassins, the power that prevented her from healing was dissipating.
It seems that it is still a "area BUFF", and it will become invalid when it leaves there.
Mason slept soundly this time. He had a lot of strange dreams, and he didn't open his eyes until he felt a chill on his neck.
Then he saw the hunter holding the **** knife against his neck.
It's not that she doesn't want to cut it down.
Facing this damned subordinate who dared to backstab his boss in front of her, no matter how many knives she slashed, she couldn't vent her anger. He was spared because Mason was holding a golden apple in his hand.
And that thing is emitting a faint golden light to interfere with the hunter's thinking.
"Are you awake?"
Mason didn't have the consciousness to backstab his boss to cause trouble at all. After seeing the hunter sober, he grinned, not caring the latter's sharp knife on his neck.
He even put away the golden apples for self-preservation.
The moment the power of thought interference disappeared, he was lifted up with his neck stuck, and slammed against the camouflaged wall of the container next to him.
Under the starry sky mask in front of him, those big eyes shone with a cold light.
"I think you should calm down."
Mason, with his legs hanging in the air, relaxed his body, without any intention of confronting.
He was a little uncomfortable being stuck in the neck, but he still intermittently said to the silent woman in front of him:
"We came back alive, no one died, this matter was settled satisfactorily, no matter from which angle you look at it, you have absolutely no reason to be angry."
"You sneak up on me!"
The hunter gritted his teeth, and the sound was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
she says:
"Still when I'm protecting you!"
"Yes, I am really touched by the fact that you risked your life to rescue me and my team. I take back my suspicions that I shouldn't have before. You are indeed a good five-star boss.
I shouldn't have done that.
But you also know the situation at the time, I don’t think in that situation you will listen to my explanation and do things according to my ideas. "
Mason sighed and said:
"I just chose the most direct method of dissuasion, and it turns out that my method is very effective. And compared to what we are entangled in the past here, I think there are more troublesome things waiting for us to deal with now.
Stars Fort will not let it go.
As the only team that escaped from the world of assassins, I can imagine how many headaches I have to accept with my heels. It's fine if I have a clear conscience, but I'm a real 25-year-old boy.
You say, what shall we do now? "
"I'm not dead yet."
The anger in Hunter's heart was really hard to swallow, but in the end she threw Mason back on the sofa with a flick of her hand. While arranging her robe and mask, she said coldly:
"No one will attribute this matter to a small C-level team. Your apparent weakness is the best protection. But I have to go back to the Stars Fort now. I will talk about it next time I come over.
Mason.
I don't have time right now to find out what deal you made with those assassins to get us all back together, but you'd better make up a decent reason before I come over. "
The silver light was turned on, and she walked into it and disappeared.
Mason shrugged, fell on the sofa and continued to sleep. He was really tired, and the feeling of the sky falling and a tall person standing on top was really great.
Gee, Siria Fiona Alan Lianlun, Her Royal Highness Princess of Nilfgaard, Daughter of the White Wolf
You are such a good boss.
