Chapter 433 48. The first target of all conspiracies against the Justice League is a hot man
"How did he say?"
In the office of the Afterlife bar that night, Mason sat in front of a chair and talked on the phone with Ciri who was far away in the Fort of Stars.
He will hold a hand part of the Lord of the Universe armor to analyze the structure of this thing and draw a picture, but he has to pay attention to the movements of old A with his dual-purpose mind.
Facing Mason's question, Ciri, who was taking a petal bath, said in a lazily elongated voice:
"Nothing special, just a symbolic reprimand for our private actions, but then came a 180-degree turn, and said that Brainiac made mistakes first, and our actions were necessary and necessary. That's right and all that nonsense."
"It seems that Brainiac's head in the hands of old A has indeed completed a good exchange of benefits for him, otherwise he wouldn't have put it down so lightly with that guy's style.
Did he not say anything to reward me this time? "
Mason asked a question with a hint of ridicule. Ciri hesitated for a moment, and said truthfully:
"He said that you killed Brainiac and hoped that a council seat would be vacant, so if you want, he can use his relationship to promote you as a small member of the council.
Start from the lower level first, and after a little time, you can shine on the new battlefield or something.
I’ll say no for you, I know you don’t like this kind of wrangling and wasting time, and it’s a bit too shocking to jump from a B-level person to a hopeful director, and it will definitely cause you unnecessary trouble. "
"Well, you still understand me."
Mason nodded, he took apart the silver gauntlet in his hand, imitated drawing and said to Ciri at the same time:
"Was the warlock unresponsive to the news?"
"He probably hasn't heard the news yet."
The hunter replied:
"The warlock's backer has one and only His Excellency Destiny. Although he is also a powerful figure in the Hope Council, he seldom participates in the meeting because of his sleeping relationship. He is not as well-informed in this regard as we are.
But I guess once Mr. Johnny Skeleton is resurrected, he must first find trouble with the warlock.
Once he knew the news, he might jump over the wall in a hurry. This kind of thing must bring him a lot of pressure. "
"If you can't handle the pressure, you will lose your footing."
Mason narrowed his eyes and said:
"That dog can no longer be kept, he must also be eliminated in the next world invasion, so that the stars will fall into our hands
At least on the surface.
You need to collect information on several A-level members of Warlock's subordinates as soon as possible. I need information to formulate a plan. "
"Swordsman is busy with this matter. She has more dealings with those guys. She will bring you information in a few days."
There was a splash of water on the hunter's side, it should be the sound of walking out of the bathtub, and he casually said to Mason:
"I also need you to help me change those origin X metals. It's not easy to use, and that set of gloves is for men, so remember to prepare tools."
"OK."
Mason answered and chatted a few words about homework before hanging up the phone. He looked at the blueprint in front of him and scratched his head.
Although there is a plan to replace the Lord of the Universe armor with the Zhenjin Fenrir armor he is currently using, the internal structure of this thing is a bit too complicated even if it has a real body.
It took Mason six hours to draw the structural drawing of an arm alone. Brainiac used too much high-end technology for his power armor, some of which Mason had never even seen before. .
No wonder driving it requires level 7 engineering. This technical reserve is really a big problem.
But there is no need to worry about the energy issue. He has already left the stage of using the Ark reactor. Now this aspect is already a serious new scene of "combining magic and hard work with technology".
With a flick of his finger, the Life-Binding Mouse Talisman jumped into his hand.
Although this thing has been repaired, it is still hard to hide its dilapidated appearance, and its weathered traces are very heavy. According to the female Ultron, this thing is estimated to disintegrate after a few times of full use.
Although it is an item on the mysterious side, there is also an energy balance. Things like giving life to dead objects must consume the mysterious energy contained in the spell.
"So I have to make another set of twelve spells for backup. The ten thousand year stone and keel should be enough raw materials. After a few days, I have to go to the treasure house in Stars Castle."
Mason took out his notebook and wrote down the requirement in the notebook.
There are too many things recorded in different categories on the above, which gave him a headache. Each manufacturing branch has an urgent task sequence, and it is a bit overwhelming for twelve water bodies to even rotate.
He feels he needs to make a priority list.
But you have to discuss this matter with your water clones and ask for their opinions, so as to avoid the embarrassing incident of the previous clone rebellion.
Mason revised the drawing again. After confirming that there were no missing details, he leaned on the chair and took out a black metal ball from the luggage into his palm.
The appearance of this thing looks inconspicuous, similar to the golden apple and biological bait in Isu engineering, but the two are by no means the same thing.
Mason stared at it, and the information label popped up quickly:
Black Apple·Forbidden Secret
Quality: Origin Artifact/Cosmic Negative Pole Unknown Craft
Effect:
Ask the black apple full of the mysteries of the universe, and it will give you a standard answer.
warn!
The black apple is forbidden knowledge in the origin of the universe. While obtaining the answer, it will bear terrible pressure and cause unpredictable and serious results to the questioner.
warn!
Any life in the universe can ask Black Apple questions, but each life has only one chance to get an answer in a lifetime, please choose your questions carefully.
warn!
After getting the answer from the black apple, the item will no longer be used by the same questioner, and using it forcibly will cause serious consequences.
Creator: The Wall of Origin seal
Item description: Brainiac asked Black Apple a great question, and the result was that he became a high paraplegic. Although this is also related to him grabbing too much knowledge in a short time, you should refer to it before acting What happened to him.
Today's item description is unexpectedly serious, and there is even a hint of worry in it, which is enough for Mason to be vigilant enough about the item in his hand.
It may really know everything.
But receiving knowledge has always come at a price.
To be honest, Mason really wanted to ask the black apple in his hand how to survive the shock.
But he resisted the urge in the end, he had an answer himself, and he didn't need to get another "standard answer" from other places before verifying that his answer was wrong.
"The artifact is indeed an artifact, but the way it takes effect is a bit strange."
Mason sighed, picked up the black apple and placed it on the handle of his penguin umbrella. After the golden apple shattered, the umbrella handle of this thing had been bare and ugly. The size of the black apple was just right.
If Mason didn't say it, who would have thought that he would use such a precious cosmic artifact to decorate his umbrella?
This is also a clever hiding.
"唰"
The door of the office was pushed open, Mason looked up and saw Mrs. Catwoman in classic tight attire and ruby goggles walking in with a dinner.
She opened the chair with a smile and sat opposite Mason, and handed the fragrant dinner to Mason, then raised her chin and looked at him very femininely, as if intending to watch him eat the dinner.
At this moment, Mason wondered if something weird was added to the dinner?
"You can say whatever you want, this attitude always makes me a little hairy."
Mason didn't move the knife and fork, he stared at Mrs. Catwoman and said:
"Do you have any new ideas? I heard that you have been having a heated fight with the master recently. Miss Huazi told me that you go out to accompany him on night patrol almost every night.
Maybe to enlighten him not to stress too much? "
"It's not as passionate as you think, it's an old couple."
"It's just that he has been tracking those Skrulls recently, which has consumed a lot of energy and is really stressful. I feel that Bruce is planning something secretly.
Just as you have been preparing for the conflict that will eventually break out, he is also dealing with threats and wars in his own way.
And I'm sure he already knows about the old man and aunt clown.
Though he has no proof."
Selena glanced at Mason who picked up the spoon and sipped the soup, and said:
"When he wanders around Gotham, he always collects clues, including the Penguin Gang and Two-Face Girl. Although he doesn't say anything, I know that he is trying to catch the two people who are hiding beside him and secretly protecting him.
Indeed, as you said, he enjoys the process of unraveling.
This may be his leisure entertainment for himself to relieve pressure. "
"It is not good?"
Mason pretended to be stupid and said without raising his head:
"The master is playing games with his parents, and he is accompanied by his girlfriend. The thing he longs for in his life is right in front of him. As his lover, you should feel happy for him."
"But I'm bored to death!"
Selena finally said what she came for, she snorted and said:
"I also thought I would enjoy the company, just like I used to follow him around town in the dark, like a game of black cats and bats.
But it turns out that everyone can't go back.
The first week was fun, I seemed to get all my passion back, and even pushed him to do some exciting things in town that he shouldn't be doing, but then it just took a turn and the repetitive boredom ensued Filled all my life in no time.
I was forever changed by another little man”
Master Catwoman elongated her voice, stretched out her sharp cat paws and stroked Mason's forehead, she said in a hoarse voice:
“He took me to more interesting places, took me to see more exotic scenery, broadened my horizons and gave me an ‘ideal’ that made me fascinated, but guess what?
The little man gave me everything and then kicked me away and threw me back in the cat cage to play with my childhood game of ball of yarn.
He said he was protecting me.
But I feel that he is disgusting me, alas, the old aunt is like this, she loses all her charm and is disgusted wherever she goes. "
"It was you who said you wanted to take a break."
Mason felt the sharp claws resting on his chin. He put the last mouthful of soup into his mouth, then wiped his mouth, and said:
"Are you sure you can return to the team?"
"certainly."
Catwoman snorted and said:
"I have to go around more in different places, leave more private space for Bruce, let him think about our relationship, and give me some time to relax."
"Hey, we haven't been in contact for a day or two."
Mason wiped his mouth and glanced in the direction of the window, complaining:
"You can't help but I can see that the one who is shaken is not the master, but you, right? You want to run away from him again, just like the last time you ran away from the wedding he prepared for you.
You plan to use your cat's claws to cruelly grab the heart of the man who loves you, but it's just to resist an ending that you and I both know you will fall into eventually. "
"Oh, I can't hide it from my sweet little Mason."
Catwoman, who had been exposed the truth, curled her lips. She lay down on the table very tiredly, and scratched Mason's desk with her cat's paw. She whispered in a voice that only two people could hear:
"I can't stay any longer, Mason.
After being out and about for so long I thought my heart would be independent again, but when I got back to that man who was so mesmerizing, I knew I was screwed.
The long-term separation did not cool down the feelings, it just let it hide deeper, and when it broke out again, it was enough to destroy all my sanity.
Do you remember when I said I would only marry him when I had my first wrinkle?
Seven days ago, when I was staying overnight at Wayne Manor, he proposed to me, again, and this time I hesitated for a full thirty seconds before saying no to him
Hell, he knows I'm shaken.
If I do it again, I’m afraid I’ll really talk myself into accepting another life that once terrified me, but this situation is not a good time to make a life contract”
Selena raised her head and said to Mason:
"So I convinced myself that when all these **** things are over, after I help you destroy the Stars Club, I will marry him without any burden."
"Uh, there's something I wanted to tell you just now."
Mason looked at Selena with a serious face, he pointed out the window with some embarrassment, and said:
"Bruce is there, came a minute ago, you may have been too caught up in your own mood to notice, but I didn't try to stop you after you started talking about your inner feelings.
So he heard what you just said. "
"What are you afraid of? It's not that you can't listen!"
Catwoman snorted, got up, swayed her waist and strode to the window, and pulled the master who was hiding outside, and the dog and man kissed each other in front of Mason who was enjoying dinner.
Hey, it’s the twilight love of middle-aged people. Is it really okay for you two to show such pure love?
"I'm leaving, Bruce."
Master Catwoman pushed away the master in front of her, she stepped back a few steps to the door of the world, twisted the handle, waved her hand and said:
"This will be my last adventure. When I come back next time, you'd better prepare a formal proposal gift. Don't use the **** ring anymore. It's too old-fashioned."
"I will wait for your return."
Batman said affectionately in his iconic hoarse voice:
"The layout of the last wedding has been hidden in the Batcave, as long as you need it"
Before he could finish his sentence, Catwoman blew a kiss with a sly smile, and then jumped into the gate of the world as nimbly as a cat and disappeared.
"You should have stopped her when she set that terrible flag."
Mason, who was leaning on a chair to watch the excitement, threw a strawberry into his mouth and said to the master:
"Usually saying this kind of words when parting often means terrible results, but don't worry, as an honorary Robin, I will take good care of my catwoman sister.
I promise to bring you back a bouncing Selena. "
"I knew you would do this, so I was relieved that she would leave."
The master raised his cloak and turned around, looked at Mason seriously, and said:
"This is not the purpose of my coming tonight. Something happened, Mason! Pack up your bags and go to Kansas with me immediately. Grayson, John Wick, and Barry have already rushed over.
We need to operate stealthily, not to alarm others. "
"Um?"
Hearing the name of the place, Mason was stunned, then got up and said:
"Did something happen?"
"Fifteen minutes ago, his signal disappeared."
Master said:
"The signal of Jonathan Kent Jr. also disappeared together. I suspect that the 'super spy' you said before got it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it before it acted."
"It's not your fault. Even among the Skrulls, their mode of action is very secretive, and no one can predict it at all, but the good news is that their masters are finished.
And now they have new owners, so this incident may not be a bad thing. "
Mason lifted his magic suitcase from his luggage and said to the master:
"Let's go, let's go immediately."
