Chapter 206 4. Strange friendships always come uninvited, and occasionally break into the house-Happy New Year's Eve【1115】
Behind the Black Pearl, on the swirling sea surface, the eerie ghost ship is sinking into the sea.
Will Turner does not intend to show up in Port Virginia. He and his ghost pirates have something to do, and it is estimated that they will not appear in the final battle until the Cleaners appear.
"What is the effect of strengthening?"
Mason watched the Dutchman sink into the bottom of the sea, and asked the yawning Zha Kang beside him.
"It's okay, so-so"
Konstantin, who was obviously very satisfied but insisted on pretending to be nothing more than this, said stubbornly as usual:
"The improvement of my physical fitness has allowed me to have a few abdominal muscles, and I can even bend steel pipes with my bare hands, but what makes me even more delighted is the manipulation of magic power. A few magic spells that were a little difficult to use before are now readily available.
Some forbidden techniques that cannot be used can also be arranged. It seems that the inheritance of the Isu people does have something. "
"As long as you are satisfied."
Mason pouted and said:
"I've given you the reward you've always wanted, John, and you have to work hard this time. Although it's not as ominous as I felt in the Isu world before, this time you can do it without saying more than me." Understanding what we're facing doesn't make it any better."
"I heard from Barbara that you still don't think it's exciting enough to kill a god, so you plan to make it more difficult for yourself?"
Jack Kang puffed out his cigarette **** and said:
"Are you going to transfer the people here to a safe world? Are you crazy? There are at least a million people here. Even if we open the two world gates in our hands all day long to transfer them, we will wait until the end of the world." Not enough time.
I guess Mr. Hunter doesn't intend to help?
Honestly, if I were a decision maker like him, I wouldn't waste my energy in a world where it's worthless, really. "
"It has nothing to do with value, John."
Mason flicked his fingers and said:
"We have seen it, we can't ignore it."
"Tch, this is a kind heart attack again."
Jackson vomited a strange ship-shaped smoke ring and complained:
"I understand, you are a lunatic who can't rest. In Peter's world, you helped a group of doomsday survivors find a new home, and you are still unwilling to let go of these poor creatures in the sea. You just don't want others to suffer.
You are simply a living Bodhisattva.
If they don't put up a monument for you after this **** is over, they will blind your kindness. "
"Say what you want."
Mason shrugged. He stood on the bow of the ship under the night and looked at the gloomy sea in the distance. He folded his arms and said:
“We cannot turn a blind eye to these struggling people. Every pair of eyes begging for help we see while walking on this road should be answered. If there is the ability to help, why not accept it all?
Actually, I have a bold idea, John. "
He turned his head to look at Zha Kang.
When the latter noticed Mason's expression, he crossed his hands and shouted:
"No! Stop your bold ideas! The last time you said you had an idea, we were forced to fight the Stellaris, and robbed Wayne Industries' warehouse for millions of vaccines.
This time I think your idea may be even crazier.
Be realistic, Mason.
The end is near, and you are not a savior, let alone a god, so you cannot save everyone! "
"How will you know if you don't try?"
Mason ignored Zha Kang's shout, and said with piercing eyes:
"I will think of a way to send all the people here to Old Peter's world! They have enough supplies and places to live, but they are short of people.
The old Green Goblin is confident that he will survive this shock with the help of the Gwent Society. He will need these people if he wants to rebuild the world, which is not bad for him. "
"My God, you still said it!"
Constantine covered his face and said in a desperate tone:
"Not to mention whether Norman Osborn is willing to accept this group of 18th-century refugees, but to say that the two world gates open at the same time and remain open for several days, which will cause time and space disturbances!
Don't forget, we have done experiments, and the base world is needed as a transit between the two world gates.
It's almost like lighting a torch in Gotham!
Not to mention a spellcaster at the level of Dr. Fate, even an apprentice can clearly feel it.
You are simply throwing our old hat out!
Are you tired of this game of hide-and-seek, so you plan to play a game with those superheroes who have been psyched by the disaster? "
"Well, you're right, I overlooked that."
Mason nodded regretfully.
Jack Kang's retort was right in the point that if he wanted to keep the K team hidden, he couldn't do it with such a big fanfare, and now he was persuading Mason, and Constantine was also relieved.
He did think Mason was asking for trouble.
He admits that the people struggling to survive before him are pitiful, but what does that matter to him? Everyone has their own destiny, so what's the point of always expecting others to come to save us?
It’s better to ask for others than yourself. Don’t forget that you are also a human being.
Mason, who was persuaded by Zha Kang, returned to the remodeled cabin of the Black Pearl, where he built a simple alchemy room, but judging from the expression on his face, it was obvious that he had not given up on his plan.
It's just that he had to think of another way when Mr. Hunter was unwilling to help and the world gate of Team K couldn't be used.
At this moment when his mind is messed up, Mason needs to calm himself down, and his way of calming down is to walk into the alchemy room to complete a potion making.
Mason took out Hufflepuff's gold cup with ease, and dropped the ingredients prepared in the bag into it, heated it with a simmer, and put a wisp of magic fire on the phoenix egg set up next to it.
He advanced alchemy with proficient techniques, but he was thinking about another thing. After exhausting all the current possibilities, Mason still couldn't find a usable method, until he caught a glimpse of the "engraved" coin placed on the alchemy table. The Isu Fragment of Erberus' Reward", an idea suddenly appeared in my mind.
Maybe he can find some clues from the inheritance of the Isu?
Mason picked up the dangerous "biological mutagen" and rubbed it in his hands. They have a very deep understanding of the parallel world and the space structure of the universe, perhaps.
"You look troubled, my brother."
A sudden voice made Mason turn his head vigilantly, and then saw a phantom floating behind him.
It was an image of an Isu, wearing a researcher's white armor and a very sacred half robe, just like the costumes on the stone carvings of ancient Greek gods.
Mason blinked and looked around, but the two pirates guarding the door of the alchemy room turned a deaf ear to this.
So he was sure this guy should only be visible to him.
Is this because the Isu blood has gone crazy again and started to project images from the past?
His thoughts seemed to be sensed by this Isu vision, who was suspended in front of Mason's eyes, shaking his head and explaining:
"No, I am not a phantom of the past, Hephaestus, I am Consus, and I 'stay' on the cloak behind you. It was the biological signal you sent out when you were thinking about profound issues that awakened me."
"Oh, Prometheus."
Mason touched the Isu shroud on his body. There was indeed an ancient Isu consciousness signal in it. He looked at this "ghost" and said:
"I am not the Hephaestus you are familiar with, and this is not your hometown. I am sorry to disturb your dormancy, but I am not in the mood to discuss Isu civilization with you right now.
As you can see, I am very busy. "
"I see that you are using pure manual methods to make some seemingly advanced medicines, but what you think in your heart and what you do in your hands are not in sync.
You still hold the dangerous mutagen crafted by our sister Juno.
With all due respect, as long as you slip your hand, the genetic signal interference generated by this biological mutagen is enough to turn all ordinary humans on this ship into monsters you don't want to see. "
The Isu Consus reminded slowly:
Tell me about your troubles, even if I can't help you, I can still be a listener.
Best of all, you don't have to worry about me spouting your worries around, as you can see, I'm just a 'ghost' of the past that only you can see. "
"Uh, okay."
Mason looked at the overly peaceful Isu ghost in front of him with weird eyes.
He conveniently put the biological mutagen in his bag, and while paying attention to his pot of potion, he talked about the troubles he was facing now.
Consus thought for a moment after listening, his phantom stripping appeared in another place, stretched out his hand and wrote some complicated Isu characters in the air, then turned back and said to Mason:
"Do you remember the instrument we designed to explore the parallel world system? If you can make it now, then you can lock the phase coordinates of the target world without relying on the space-time shuttle device that the stars will provide.
Then use your amazing crafting skills to analyze their world gates.
Use your supreme wisdom to imitate a safe and undisturbed transfer device, and your problems will be solved. Knowing your amazing skills, my brother, these imitations will not trouble you. "
"That's the problem."
Mason rubbed his forehead and said:
"Those complicated knowledge haven't been unlocked in my mind yet. The inheritance you set up should have some biological locks added, so that it can unlock the knowledge and technology you have for me in a step-by-step manner.
I can learn now, but it is probably too late. "
"Then there is only another more adventurous way."
Consus was silent for a moment, and suggested:
"Use the power of the enemy! As you said, if those invaders will enter the world on a large scale before the end, then they must have equipment that can transmit troops on a large scale.
That could work for you too, but it would be very risky. "
"This is also a way."
Mason rubbed his chin with folded arms and said:
"If you can't find a better idea, then it becomes optional. Do you have any other suggestions?"
"I would advise you to give up, my brother."
Consus said seriously:
"You are planning a cost-effective and very dangerous thing. Given your current situation, perhaps you should learn to accept this reality.
That is, you can't save everyone.
That's beyond your capabilities. "
Mason was silent, and after a few seconds he shook his head and said:
"It seems that our conversation should be over, thank you for your help, Consus, I will take the initiative to call you if there are any questions I don't understand in the future, you are good at the field of biotechnology, right?
Can you show me this fortified recipe?
I want to make this side effect of strengthening drugs that can produce a second personality safer. "
"why not?"
The phantom of Consus floated to Mason, and he said softly:
"I've slept in long enough, and I'm glad to be of help in these dreadful times, my kind brother.
Well, the design of this formula is really bold. Using such a rough method to stimulate the pituitary gland to secrete more substances that are beneficial to body circulation is not worth the candle in my opinion.
You can probably improve on this.
Come, pick up your pen, and modify its generating equation according to my instructions. "
At this time, outside the alchemy room.
Mr. Gibbs, the first mate with a cool toad mirror, was looking at Mason who was talking to himself in the dim area. He was very worried and whispered to Barbara who was secretly called behind him. :
"Master Mason seems to be talking to someone, but there is no one around him at all. This scene frightened the guard brother and reported it to me. Ms. Barbara, do you think this is because Master Mason is under too much pressure, so..."
Mr. Gibbs pointed to his brain and made a chaotic movement.
Batgirl was silent.
She just bit her lip and looked worriedly at Mason, who was talking to herself and getting more and more excited. As a teammate and sister in name, Barbara knew very well the pressure Mason was under during this time.
Especially after he injected himself with strange drugs in order to turn the tide in the world of assassins, Mason's behavior became more and more weird.
"Don't disturb other people."
Barbara gave orders to the terrified first mate Gibbs, and quietly retreated to discuss with Zha Kang, and asked that unreliable guy to check Mason's spirit.
Team K has to give up this mission if it doesn’t work. Mason’s health is much more important than this dilapidated world!
But just as Batgirl walked out of the cabin to find Zha Kang, her personal communicator suddenly vibrated.
Batgirl took out the communicator given by Judy. She thought it was Judy who encountered something interesting in Gotham again, so she shared it with her across the world, but when she picked up the communicator, she realized that it was from an unfamiliar number. a message.
"I heard that you have encountered a little trouble?"
The message for that number says:
"When the old friends of the K team and the incompetent superiors who don't want to take risks can't help, why not try to contact new friends?"
"?"
Barbara clicked on the note of this strange number in surprise.
It was discovered that this was the "secret guest" who had met once in the world of assassins before, and she had indeed exchanged communication methods with Barbara when she left.
Seeing that her friends who fought side by side survived, Batgirl was also very happy, but she paid more attention to the content of this message.
She walked to the edge of the deck, thought for a while, and dialed the number for this cross-world communication.
A few seconds later, a holographic projection was played on the communicator, projecting the figure of the yellow-haired girl of the secret guest together with the background of a dark hall carved with demon sculptures in front of Barbara.
The secret guest on the screen is lying comfortably on a throne that looks very evil, holding a bucket of ice cream in his hand and eating it with a skull spoon.
"Yo, Barbara, how are you all? I hear you're in trouble?"
The secret guest waved his hand very familiarly and said:
"Do you need help?"
"How do you know we're in trouble?"
Barbara asked vigilantly:
"Are you spying on us?"
"Well"
Mystery was dumbfounded by this question, she lowered her head and complained:
"Oh, now the C-level personnel are really monkey spirits, and the job of secret surveillance is really hard to do. I began to miss the group of idiots I met at the beginning.
Popping flames from your fingers can scare them into obedience. "
Then she raised her head again, flicked her long blond hair, dug a big mouthful of ice cream into her mouth, and said vaguely:
"Let's not talk about this, just say if you need help? I can help."
"Help? How are you going to help?"
Barbara already sensed that there was definitely something wrong with the guy on the other side, so she didn't plan to talk any further, so she casually said:
"Could it be that you can get the transfer door?"
"Huh? The gate of transfer? I thought it was a big deal, so this is it?"
Sitting on his throne, the swordsman-sama laughed like a queen and said:
"Tell me, how many do you want? I'll report right away"
