Chapter 470 16. Facing fate is always stressful, and it is natural to choose to escape
Mason left the office but did not dial the number immediately. Instead, he lit a cigarette at the exit of the undetectable area on this floor, and first passed the news to the old man that the A-level members of the Club of Stars had infiltrated.
In this situation, it is time to activate the hidden thread of the League of Assassins.
After the old man received the message, Mason puffed out the smoke ring, dialed the communicator in his hand to a special frequency, turned on the optical projection, and waited patiently for the connection.
After more than ten seconds of busy tone, a voice suddenly sounded:
"Hello?"
Along with the sound, there was a figure projected in front of his eyes.
A white cloak covers the body, wrapping the whole body like a mummy, and forming a crescent moon on the forehead. There are no other facial features on the covered cheeks except a pair of moonlight eyes.
This person is obviously the A-level member "God Envoy" who had a relationship with Mason at the Rock of Eternity.
His real identity is Moonlight Knight, the messenger of the Egyptian **** Kongsu.
"I'm still waiting for when will you contact me?"
Moonlight Knight has no mouth but only a pair of eyes, but at this moment, the pupils of the shining moonlight are twisted into weird arcs, clearly showing a smile.
This guy stared at Mason on the opposite side of the projection. He knocked on the table rhythmically in a dark place and said:
"I admit that it was wonderful for you to send that fake to join us when we took Black Adam, and your pretender is really powerful, even I was fooled.
However, the power of Lord Fate finally identified this traitor for us. You know that you are doing useless work, right? "
"Useless work? I don't think so."
Mason ignited the cigarette **** in his hand, and said to the Moonlight Knight in front of him in the misty smoke:
"Isn't I talking to you secretly now? My lord, envoy, isn't this conversation going on behind the scenes of the warlock mentor? I never imagined that my pretender could lurk among you for a long time.
Actually, being able to set up a secret channel to connect with each other has met all my expectations.
She did an excellent job.
She deserves the award, I hope you didn't kill her. "
"Snapped"
Moonlight Knight snapped his fingers.
The dim area he was in was instantly illuminated by the bright moonlight, which also revealed the whereabouts of Mason's pretender, Queen Skrull Vikram at this time.
The poor Queen Skrull was hung in the air with her arms pulled by two chains, her head was lowered, but the scars left on her body represented that she had just experienced terrible torture.
"She's really loyal to you."
Moonlight Knight said in a relaxed tone:
"I have traveled all over the world and heard about the reputation of the Skrulls. I really can't imagine how you can make this group of born chaotic people so loyal to you.
We have used various methods to torture her and interrogate her. We have even asked all the information about the empress's seven lovers, even the time and place where she first tasted the forbidden fruit when she was young.
But she gritted her teeth and refused to reveal any secrets about you and Team K. Seriously, her stubbornness has already disgusted me!
If you hadn't called at this time, we might have opened her head.
Reveal this secret, shall we?
How on earth did you train these Skrulls? "
"free."
Mason touched the Scarrull Spirit Beacon on his right hand, and he said:
“I promise to give them real freedom and the power to choose their future.”
"Tch, I guess that's it, it's so boring."
Moonlight Knight snorted, and he no longer took the initiative to speak, but just looked at Mason in the cruel background of the unconscious Queen Vikram being hung up and still bleeding.
He was waiting for Mason's initiative to speak.
"You didn't tell Warlock this news, you said you have been waiting for me to contact you, which shows that you also have doubts about the result of this world invasion initiated by Warlock.
In this case, it means that the two parties have the possibility of cooperation. "
Mason said:
"Let's talk, tell your terms, and answer me a question."
"No no no."
Moonlight Knight shook his head and said:
"It's just my own selfishness that I didn't report your small actions to the Warlock. Mason, my mysterious and powerful compatriot, since the establishment of the Stars Society, it's the first time I've seen the Grand Master go to war for a world to such an extent.
The confrontation between you and the warlock has obviously gone beyond the scope of official affairs.
This is obviously a personal grievance. I am very interested in the inside story. If possible, I would even be willing to make friends with you.
But this is just my personal opinion.
You have to understand that we people are never free, just like the three mentors represent different forces, A-level members also have their own difficulties. "
This guy pointed to the sky. Although he didn't say it clearly, Mason already understood what he meant.
The captain nodded and said:
"So, even if you have no interest in Warlock's invasion and victory, you still have to take your team members to participate in this world war, because the people behind you didn't give you more choices?"
"Exactly! Talking to smart people is easy."
Moonlight Knight laughed, but he spread his hands and said helplessly:
"The legendary gods are not lofty, firm, or wise. They gathered together to deal with the dying situation of the world, and they were promised to join the council to occupy seats.
For the real strong, the majesty of the gods is like a flower in the mirror. They can ignore the thoughts of the gods to decide many things, which makes the gods dissatisfied.
But now it's just dissatisfaction.
It is far from the time to abandon or break up. The main reason is that the gods with strong self-esteem and strong desire to survive currently cannot see a second choice.
Mason Cooper, they are the ones you can fight for, and I'm tired of doing things for the bad guys, and I wish I had more options like you.
So my advice to you is, use this as a stage for a show and show them what you can do.
The angel team is your enemy!
But we may not be enemies forever, it all depends on how you and your world behave next, don't expect us to show mercy.
However, if you show mercy to us when you have the upper hand, then I will definitely thank you and remember your kindness.
Well, that's all I can tell you before going to war.
Next, do a hostage exchange. "
Moonlight Knight pointed to the Skrull Queen Vikram behind him, and he said:
"Send back the black Adam I need, and I'll send your servant back. You just said that there is another question? Tell me, I am in a good mood today. If you can answer, I will tell you everything."
"Then I asked."
Mason didn't care about this guy's arrogance. That's how a person with the upper hand should speak. He coughed and said:
"Who is the warlock's collaborator in our world besides Lex Luthor and the offal from the Eye of Heaven?"
"Tsk tsk, look at your question."
Moonlight Knight snorted and said:
"You already have the answer in your heart, don't you? There are only a few people in your place who can monitor the world, and there are even fewer people who can cooperate with us to infiltrate without anyone noticing.
I don’t know what you guys think, why would a traitor be in charge of guarding the gate? Maybe it's because the gentleman's disguise is so good?
Or is it that he is so dignified that you dare not doubt him? "
"After learning that Black Adam had defected to the enemy, I did doubt the true thoughts of that great man."
Mason moved his fingers, and he said:
"I just want to know, when did he collude with you?"
Moonlight Knight knocked on the table and asked:
"Then when did he notice the shock event? You see, the world where there are 'prophets' is always very boring, and those who can see the future will be tortured.
They know that the future is dark, but they want to save the world but they don’t have the ability to change their destiny. Under the double pressure of the dark future and inner torture, these prophets can easily go astray.
But don't blame them.
They need to find a way to avoid the worst outcome, but there will always be problems with these methods, and there will be a price for any change.
Knowing the future was never a blessing, it was the worst curse in the world.
That's all I can say.
Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you before the newsletter ends, Mason, please listen carefully. "
The messenger of the gods paused, and said to Mason with an emphasis:
"Not all members of the A-level are loyal to the warlock, and his face is not big enough to make everyone bow down, just like my current situation.
If you're sharp enough to find what people want, it's not impossible to convince people to die with you, but there are a few guys out of twelve who are really hardcore.
They choose to stand with warlocks forever for various reasons, so you must be careful when you meet them.
Don't capsize the gutter.
Tomorrow at noon, Rock of Eternity, hostage exchange, no problem, right? "
"Well, no problem."
Mason nodded and said:
"Thanks for reminding."
"Alas, don't talk nonsense!"
Moonlight Knight snorted and scolded:
"I didn't tell you anything. When you are captured and brought back to Starsburg for public trial as a traitor, please don't confess me, OK?"
"Um."
Mason hung up the communication.
He took a deep breath and returned to the office. A group of people inside were staring at him. The captain looked around and said:
"The general invasion of the Constellation will happen before noon tomorrow, maybe even in the next hour or the next second. The good news is that not all A-level squads are die-hard enemies. They can communicate and be persuaded.
But the bad news is that we don't know who the unsteady enemy is.
In addition, the identity of the last messenger of the Stars Society in this world has been confirmed. "
"Dr. Fate?"
The master said something in a hoarse voice, and Mason nodded.
This heavy truth silenced everyone present.
"impossible!"
In the silence, Xiao Zha, who pushed the door in, shouted:
"Doctor Fate can't be a traitor! He used to be my mentor. After my father disappeared, he almost single-handedly trained me to the present level.
He told us about the existence of Shock!
It is he who leads us to find a way out of despair, and it is he who boosts the morale so that the casters will not be crushed by the darkness.
Those kids!
Mason, those children from Hogwarts have seen him, he gave them lessons, he taught them the true meaning of magic, the children regarded him as a reliable elder, and called him the 'principal'.
No!
It can't be him, you guessed wrong!
You have no evidence! "
Zha Kang wanted to appease his ex-girlfriend, but Xiao Zha was so excited that even a big man like Zha Kang couldn't hold her back, and Shazam and Demon Knight who followed beside him couldn't say anything more in this situation. many.
But they are obviously inclined to guess that Mason and the master are correct.
In fact, combined with this truth and then going back and thinking about it carefully, that guy showed a lot of lies before. Before the third impact, he called on the heroes to gather to face another world, and he also advocated destroying it to preserve it. home.
In the battle after Mason and the Justice League fell out, he was also responsible for tracking the wizards who fled in this world, but let them hide in the world for more than two months.
For a super caster who can go back in time and see the future clearly, this can no longer be described as a mistake.
Kandak's Black Adam is also very close to him, and it is impossible for him not to know about Black Adam's defection to the enemy.
It is not that no one has doubted Dr. Fate, but as the leader of the magic circle in this world, the fact that he should be the most steadfast force against invasion has become an accomplice of the enemy first. This fact is a bit too shocking.
"I wonder if you know the story of Mason and I's hometown world?"
Although the White Queen sitting on the chair doesn't know much about Dr. Fate's life, she has no problem comparing Dr. Fate with Doctor Strange.
This charming old aunt stood up and walked in front of Xiao Zha who was full of anger. She stared at the girl's red eyes and said indifferently:
"We also have a prophet who can travel through time and see through the future. He should also do his best to protect the world from the threat of destruction. He also saw the dark future and wanted to find a way to avoid it.
The terrible pressure that oppressed him eventually drove him mad, and dedicated our world to evil and chaos.
That man was once called Stephen Strange, a symbol of hope and wisdom.
His current name is 'Warlock'!
He is about to lead his pioneers into this world and crush us all to death! I know it's hard for you to accept, but that's the way it is.
This is just another drama of ‘The Fall of the Prophet’.
They are so similar, and the problems and pressures they face are exactly the same, that I don't even wonder how Warlock can convince Dr. Fate to obey him.
They may have already become friends.
They definitely have a lot in common. "
The White Queen stretched out her hand and put it on the head of Xiao Zha who was hugging the headache and crying, and the power of comfort penetrated into the violently active emotions. She said softly:
"If you don't believe all this, you can ask him in person. I think my child Mason and his friends are willing to accompany you. The war is about to begin.
Hurry up and cry now.
Shed the tears of weakness, leaving a firm will like iron to face tomorrow's disaster.
If you continue to cry tomorrow, you will only bring shame on yourself. "
"The Tower of Fate where Dr. Fate is located gathers the magic power of the entire world, and there is the center."
The demon knight said with a blank face:
"People who don't understand magic can only seek their own death if they enter there. Leave this matter to us. Although they may not be the opponent of Doctor Fate, we will personally eradicate the traitors among us.
As for the upcoming war"
"Let's!"
The master looked at the painful Xiao Zha and sighed in his heart. The master still cared about his childhood sweetheart, but now he can't show weakness.
He looked out the window at Gotham City at dusk, clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice:
"You go to eradicate the traitors, and we will prepare for the war."
Master Catwoman quietly reached out and held the master's hand, and the others also looked solemn.
Even Zha Kang no longer had a hippie smile on his face.
"Xiao Shan's treadmill teleportation has been successfully verified, and the Osborne Tower is working overtime on the copying machine."
Mason took out his magic suitcase and said to the others in the room:
"Warlocks will definitely choose to block the gate of the world when starting a war, but reinforcements from other worlds can still join the battlefield at any time according to our wishes. This is our greatest advantage.
This will be the decisive force in the final decision.
At this moment, it is meaningless to make long-term plans, and the only thing left is to see what happens and give it a go! Folks, it's inauspicious to say that though.
But if we are destined to die indefinitely, may we all die well. "
