Chapter 71 23. It feels so good that the son of Gotham owes me money—【650】
(Add more for the brothers of "Midsummer's Presumptuousness")
"This trip is so exciting."
In the office cubicle on the top floor of the Iceberg Bar, the three of Mason walked out of the World Gate. The catwoman carrying the voodoo birdcage seemed to feed her new pet veal, while stretching her neck and saying:
"But is it really okay to leave Kang Kang alone there?"
"Let him be there, don't be afraid that he will be lonely, that guy has too many eyes."
Mason pouted and said:
"He has provoked a lot of guys in this world that he can't afford and shouldn't provoke, both above and below, and when he comes back here, he has to fight wits and courage with those guys all the time.
But staying in the Forbidden Forest will save him from worrying about these troubles for the time being.
I doubt that guy would be happy enough to run around in the Forbidden Forest by now.
Besides, the magician who can use the fire of purgatory to bombard zombies and flying dragons probably won't be able to worry about his safety as a rookie like us, let's think about the trouble of Bat Boy. "
Having said that, Mason picked up another item in his pocket and looked at it in front of his eyes.
It was a silver teardrop-shaped pendant, made of magic metal, with faint blood floating in it, like some kind of fantastic and beautiful artwork.
When Mason took it out, the Catwoman and Kiteman around him also attracted their attention.
Charles couldn't help asking:
"Is this thing really as magical as it is recorded? With it, can we really not hurt each other?"
"Try it and you'll know?"
Catwoman flicked out the magic cat claws on the gauntlet and swung it towards Charles' neck, but her movements froze before touching Charles.
"No! Absolutely impossible."
Selena retracted her paws, rubbed her forehead and said:
"The thought of hurting you is snuffed out of nowhere, and there is a terrible sense of guilt like wanting to hurt a cute kitten with your own hands.
Makes me feel like crying. "
"Your analogy always feels a bit strange, but it also shows that this thing is really useful."
Mason put the "Four Blood Pact" of Team K into the jewelry box where the resurrection stone fragments were stored before, and threw it into the now empty suitcase.
Old K's magic apartment was left in the Forbidden Forest for Zha Kang to use as a "Mage Tower".
Now there are only two big zombie dogs and the "treasures" that were moved out of Batman's laboratory in this box.
"Let's go, let's go see Batboy."
Mason took out the old flip phone that Alfred had given him. There was a contact information on it. He dialed it and learned the location of the new hiding place from the old housekeeper.
At the end of the conversation, he said to the other side:
"Alfred, the package sent to Liverpool can be withdrawn. Well, yes, the matter has been perfectly resolved, thank you for your help.
ha? Of course I knew it contained only children's biscuits, but John didn't. And with that guy's personality, even if he knew about it, he would probably suspect that we were doing something secretly. "
The young man hung up the phone with a smile, turned back to the kite man and said:
"are you going?"
"No, every time I'm with Batboy, I feel sick all over."
Charles moved his shoulders, and said with some fear:
"I'd better stay here, the decoration of the bar is almost finished and I'm going to prepare for the opening, and by the way, take the time to perfect our previous preliminary design for my kite transformation.
If necessary, please contact me directly.
I'm on call, boss. "
"Um."
Mason nodded and followed Selena, who had quickly changed her clothes, to the top of the building, threw out the flying motorcycle and let Catwoman sit in the car, and then the two of them wobbled into the air and rushed towards Batman's hiding place. past.
This life-saving adventure lasted nearly seven hours. They set off before midnight. It would be dawn, and a rising red sun could still be seen in the distance of the city.
To be honest, this scene is short of Mason and Catwoman putting on capes and facing the sun to take a classic photo of "superheroes guarding the city".
"Who is the oriental man reflected in the mirror of desire?"
When the flying motorcycle crossed the city light rail, Catwoman suddenly asked.
Mason said blankly:
"have no idea."
"John said that the mirror can reflect the deepest desires and the truest self in people's hearts, so Mason, is that gentle and scholar-like guy the real you?"
Selena hugged the cat cage in her arms, yawned and asked.
Mason was silent.
It wasn't until several seconds later that he spoke:
"Almost, I have dreamed of becoming that kind of person since I was a child, a man with knowledge and ideals, who knows what I want to pursue and can live my life in my own way without leaving any regrets.
While being good at yourself, make the world a little better because of yourself.
Even if only a little bit.
But fate has played tricks, Selena.
Thinking about when we first met, I was just a gangster. "
"You made a change."
Catwoman closed her eyes and leaned against the comfortable cabin, she said softly:
"Many people who have the same ideals as you are afraid to take the first step to change, and that is what requires the most courage. Maybe this is why I think you are trustworthy, little Mason.
Even if you release zombies and kill hundreds of people, even if you colonize the Caribbean world, even if you use bad guys to coerce Zha Kang.
But I still think you have a warm heart.
Especially when you grew up in the muddy pit of Gotham, which is even more commendable. "
Speaking of this, the eldest sister chuckled lightly, letting the sun shine on her healthy wheat-colored skin, she took a long breath and lit a lady's cigarette.
This time Mason didn't stop her.
In the smoke with a sweet smell, Sister Selina whispered:
"If my sister was twenty years younger, I would definitely fall in love with you, little guy. Thank you for everything you do for Bruce. Shall I reward you with a kiss?"
"No."
Mason refused in a rebellious and indifferent tone:
"I hate women who smoke. Oh! What are you doing? You're driving, you're about to fall! Get down!"
"Come on, why are you shy?"
The next moment, a passionate kiss landed on the young man's forehead like a superficial sign of gratitude.
Ten minutes later, the flying motorcycle landed in an old factory building abandoned by Wayne Industry on the outskirts of the city before full daylight.
Relying on Lv2 engineering skills, Mason keenly discovered that there were at least seven fully automatic guard gun turrets hidden in this seemingly deserted place when he jumped off the motorcycle.
And several of them have locked him and Selena.
But as they approached, those hidden firepower points went dormant.
Following the route given by Alfred, the two of them took a disguised elevator all the way down to nearly 30 meters underground before entering another secret stronghold of Batman.
When Mason entered the underground hall through the heavy special steel door, he immediately saw Bruce Wayne hiding in a strangely shaped medical cabin, as well as Alfred and Dr. Leslie who was operating medical equipment .
Finally there is someone he didn't expect.
Mr. Lucius Fox, who looks like Morgan Freeman.
He didn't wear the luxurious suit that he was the chairman of the Wayne Group board of directors, but dressed like an old engineer, busy in front of a complicated workbench.
Mason glanced at it.
I found that there was a pair of enhanced titanium alloy bat suits on it, and he also had a set of this thing in his "collection".
But that was the original version without weapon accessories, and the set in front of him has been equipped with a full set of weapon modules by Mr. Lucius. Even if it is not worn on Batman, it still looks impressive.
Especially the bat helmet with a very mechanical style, it looks like a bloodthirsty bat staring at itself.
"Bring something back?"
While he was watching, Mason produced a small vial of silvery liquid.
When this thing was taken out, Dr. Leslie and Mr. Lucius turned their heads at the same time, especially Dr. Leslie. The cold-faced doctor pushed his glasses and said:
"Is this unicorn blood? Looks like some kind of compound."
"This is the first choice."
Mason flicked the test tube slowly, making the silver liquid reflect beautifully under the light.
He looked at old Alfred, and then at Batman who was still in pain in the treatment cabin that was said to be made with Kryptonian technology.
The young man explained:
"This is blood taken from a wounded unicorn, pure blood but with a curse on it, I can use it to heal the antidote and I promise it will definitely restore Mr. Bruce in days.
But I said it before I set off.
Any unicorn blood taken in a form of harm will bring a lifetime of pain to the drinker, subjecting their spirits to eternal torment, and causing their bodies to decay in cursed health without death. "
Mason paused, glanced at Alfred, and said:
"Are you sure you want to give Bruce this drug?"
"Okay, Mason!"
Catwoman shook her head and said to Mason:
"I know you have better ones, stop teasing poor Ah Fu, look at how much hair he lost in one night, it's not easy for an old man of his age.
Take it out. "
"It's not my bad taste, Selena."
Mason sighed, and took out another test tube from his bag.
There are only a few drops of silvery blood in this test tube, but it is obviously brighter than the blood of the cursed unicorn, and it seems to be attracting all the rays of light to converge.
"The umbilical cord blood of this unicorn is too rare, this is the only pure blood that will not be cursed, I may not be able to obtain such a treasure in my life.
It's really expensive.
I know that the Wayne family is very rich and has even surpassed the concept of 'rich', but in front of what I have in hand, talking about money is a bit too vulgar. "
"what would you like?"
Alfred's expression became serious, and the old butler said seriously:
"As long as you can save Master Wayne's life, the Wayne family will pay you everything you want!"
"But I only want one favor from Batman."
Mason shrugged and released his alchemy workbench from his luggage.
While other people watched, he poured the uncursed pure blood into the distillation tube and ignited it for heating, and then began to process other antidote materials swiftly.
While working, he said:
"Everyone present is a witness for me that Bruce Wayne, Lord Batman owes Mason Cooper a debt of affection today.
Other than that, I don't take a cent. "
"You have a good idea."
Mr. Lucius wearing an engineer mask said quietly:
"Even the most shameless gangster in Gotham Minion Union knows that debts of favor are the hardest to repay, and some restrictions must be imposed, young man."
"Bruce cannot be allowed to join some secret organization!"
Selena spoke first.
Mason shrugged and gestured an OK. He knew what Catwoman was worried about, but the young man really didn't have the idea of recruiting Batman into K-Squad.
Mason knew very well that he couldn't control a peerless and ruthless man like the master.
"Bruce can't be made to do anything against his principles!"
Mr. Lucius also added his own conditions.
Mason nodded again.
"Bruce cannot be asked to hurt himself."
Dr. Leslie deserves to be a medical doctor, and her starting point is also from the perspective of protecting the only son of Thomas and Martha, friends back then.
Mason also has no objection to this.
Finally, it was Alfred. The old butler looked at Bruce Wayne, who was lying in the Kryptonian treatment cabin and was having difficulty breathing, and his muscles were obviously obscene.
He looked at this man who was raised by him like his own child.
He sighed and said:
"My restriction is that you can no longer take away the few precious things in Master Wayne's life. Nothing!"
"understood."
Mason nodded.
He accepted the restrictions in full, and then made a gesture asking everyone to leave him alone.
In fact, this antidote is not that complicated. Its formula is a mixture of the antidote potion left by Old K and the antidote "coprolith" recorded in the Hogwarts Potions Encyclopedia.
Mason has tried mixing the two before, and it is feasible, and the legendary material of unicorn blood is super easy to use, and only needs to be added during the potion boiling process.
There is no need to do any additional processing at all.
In the movie, Voldemort drank blood directly on the body of the killed unicorn. If the unicorn hadn't turned into a zombie, perhaps the original feeling would be the loudest.
That is to say, in fact, Mason does not need to spend a lot of time to make an antidote. He only needs to drip the drop of blood into the master's mouth, and leave the rest to the magical magic.
But the process is so simple, how can it reflect his role?
Every qualified fisherman knows to complicate simple things in order to prove his worth to the boss while fishing. What's more, can't this be a way to practice alchemy?
After nearly ten minutes of complex preparation, the strange medicinal soup in the Mithril crucible was collected by the fire.
While Mason was constantly stirring with a crystal stick, a silver-gray viscous liquid was formed, and he carefully poured it into a triangular crystal bottle.
The finished product is like mercury, but it reflects beautiful three-color light under the light.
When Mason was holding it, a prompt popped up in front of his eyes:

"Huh? Does this thing also have krypton gold mode?"
Mason blinked.
Unexpectedly, the fusion of legendary materials would give him a rocket-like leap, which made him very delicate and deeply frustrated at the same time.
Item description That **** vicious language broke his heart again.
But the shameless Mason has to admit that this complaint is correct.
He used expensive and rare legendary materials, but actually only made potions with excellent craftsmanship, which even made him feel like he had grown a pair of pig's hooves.
"Let it stand for ten minutes, then give him a drink."
The young man threw the alchemy stone into the warm potion and handed it to Alfred with a sense of sadness. The old butler held it in his hands as if holding the last hope.
Mason exhorted:
"It will take two to three days to take effect, but he will wake up soon. If there is any problem, please contact me in time. Now I have to go back to sleep. I am really tired.
Also, don't forget to tell Lord Bruce Wayne.
Now, he owes me a big favor. "
