Chapter 135 18 How Can You Show Your Boss's Wisdom by Doing the Job so Perfectly?
Chapter 135 18. How can you reflect the wisdom of your boss by doing your job so perfectly?
"This battle seems not as difficult as I thought? Maybe I should adjust my estimated strength of the members of the Society of Stars?"
In the camp where the Amaterasu team was burned to ashes, Erbang wiped the blood from his sword while watching Zha Kang frantically rummaging through the surrounding boxes and cabinets for loot.
He glanced at Mason, who was "bleeding" the great wizard, and said:
"The whole process only took less than a minute. It was a waste of all the mental preparation I had made to prepare myself to die in battle. Why are these wizards so weak?"
"weak?"
Before Mason could speak, Zha Kang said angrily:
"You blind little fool knew how weak they were when you met them head-on in the open. Mason's hat sealed the talisman and summoning skills that these Japanese wizards were best at as soon as the battle started, and the concentrated fear gas disrupted them. senses.
I also used my trump card.
I took the risk of being killed by my 'friends' below and tried my best to take action.
You just made up for it, of course it feels easy, because the pressure is all on my side. "
"John is right. These guys didn't expect anyone to attack them in the Star Castle. There is almost no protective magic in this station, which gives us the possibility of a successful sneak attack.
Just this time. "
Mason threw the body of the great wizard Tengu aside.
The old man's throat was almost completely cut open, and his gloomy eyes were filled with strong unwillingness when he died. Mason ignored him and picked up the gold cup filled with blood.
After confirming that the seal on it had been unlocked, he shook his head and said:
"The destruction of Team Amaterasu will make other wizard traitors more vigilant, and it will be almost impossible for them to succeed in a sneak attack if they are prepared.
You have just seen how troublesome it is for them to disapparate. You can't hit them with bullets. Once they are separated, even assassins like you will be tortured to death by the Cruciatus Curse.
Not to mention the Avada Kedavra, which directly attacks the soul.
They're not weak at all, Jason.
It’s just that we were prepared, but we are stronger. "
"Look at these precious talismans and summoning charms, you'll make a lot of money this time!"
Compared to the post-war summary of the second barrel, Constantine, who was still out of breath, was obviously more concerned about the rewards after his efforts.
He came back with a large box of various talismans in his hand, collected the magic bags of several wizards, and finally got a large-capacity magic backpack that looked like Mason's suitcase.
The dark wizard who was good at cleaning up the battlefield threw several captured famous knives to Ergong. The weapons that could be placed in the station were definitely not ordinary weapons.
The magic wave coming from those neon-style blades means that they are quite good magic items.
Now, Er Tong, who likes all kinds of cold weapons, is also satisfied.
"what's next?"
While Zha Kang poured the refreshing potion into his mouth, he looked at Mason who was spilling the blood of the traitor in the golden cup. He said:
"The sneak attack was a complete success, but this is where the trouble begins. What happened in the room may have attracted attention, but how should we deal with the aftermath?"
"Simple, we don't handle it, someone else will do it for us."
Mason placed the cleaned gold cup on the burnt table, poured the alchemy materials he carried into it and lit the moving Alchemist's Holy Grail with magic fire. He also took the hair from the corpse next to him and threw it in. in.
The Holy Grail made by the legendary wizard Ms. Hufflepuff was indeed powerful. The polyjuice potion that normally took dozens of minutes to make took less than ten minutes to brew.
Mason followed the same method and made three decoctions and distributed them to the three people.
They packed the corpses at the scene into their bags to erase all traces of them, drank potions and transformed into the captain and members of the Amaterasu team, and removed the World Gate fixed in the station.
According to Mr. Hunter's "words and deeds", Zha Kang made holy water on the spot and poured it on the door handle of the World Gate, making it erase all world coordinates and make it no longer traceable.
After doing these things, the three people Shi Shiran pushed the door open and left.
Along the way, I gave out the warm and indifferent greetings unique to the neon people to the colleagues I met. I walked around the third floor of the Star Castle to gain a sense of presence before returning to the K team's station.
When Mason opened the door, he saw two members of the Amaterasu team who were tied to the ground with chains. They were all drunk with life-and-death water and fell into a sleep that they could not resist.
"Is the matter settled?"
Catwoman, who was slowly sipping a glass of red wine, looked back at the new images of the three people and said:
"Leave now?"
"To avoid long nights and too many dreams."
Mason took out the legendary pistol from his waist and gave it back to Judy, saying to her:
"This is a good gun. Today is probably the first time it drinks blood. Congratulations, my dear friend, you also have a killing gun."
"I always feel like you guys are a bunch of bad guys."
Judy took the pistol and complained:
"You can still be so calm after destroying a team in an understatement. Mason, are you sure you are not a dangerous guy like a cold-blooded killer?"
"We're already in this business, so there's no practical point in worrying about this."
The captain of Team K, who wore the appearance of the Great Wizard Tengu, smiled at his new friend and said:
"All I can say is that those guys had a right to die, that's all. Why don't you go sit in our base world for a while? Judy, I think you will like it there.
You can live with Barbara,
Her home is very big.
When you are tired from playing, you just fall asleep. "
"I'd love to, but not now."
The tech girl shrugged, stood up, and prepared to leave with the three android guards who had returned to their original appearance. She said to Mason:
"Let's wait until after the 'impact'. If your world still exists, I will definitely take time to visit. I must inform the captain of what you did today.
You have to understand, Mason, that my captain is a cautious man. "
"go Go."
While Zha Kang activated the World Gate to open the way back to Gotham, Mason sent Judy out of the station. In the background of Ergu dragging the two unlucky guys tied up in chains and leaving, he said goodbye:
“I believe that I will be able to meet your captain soon, and by then, both of us will become truly trustworthy and reliable ‘ones’.
You are always welcome to visit my city, Judy.
Believe me, you will be able to find the feeling of Night City in Gotham City, a city with simple folk customs and outstanding people. You will like it there, I promise! "
——
A few minutes after Team K left the Star Castle, the door of Team Amaterasu's station was pushed open.
Mr. Hunter, wearing a mask and a robe, walked in with his subordinate Anna. She looked at the devastated battle traces in front of her, then looked at the floor with blood stains still on the ground and finally shook her head.
“So unprofessional!”
Miss Anna, the captain of the Akers team next to Mr. Hunter, looked at the mess in front of her and complained:
"I thought that Mason Cooper would be more cautious. You clearly warned him! But look at the traces he left. Anyone who is not blind knows that a murder occurred here.
That is to say, Lord Warlock was not here and could not track the battle as soon as possible.
Otherwise, I guess those three people wouldn't be able to leave and would be caught. I'm not telling you, Mr. Hunter, why would you like such a reckless person?
This doesn't seem to be your style. "
"You said he was reckless?"
Mr. Hunter chuckled lightly and said:
"No, Anna, he is not reckless, on the contrary, he made the most correct choice.
The captain and main members of the Amaterasu team are dead, but the team is not destroyed. There are two people captured alive by the K team. The captain's authority will fall on one of those two people.
Therefore, during the tracking of the Star Club, Team Amaterasu was still operating normally, and the captain's capture also allowed Team K to successfully obtain the second World Gate that could be used.
And who do you think he left these things for? "
Captain Anna was stunned for a moment and then realized what was happening. She stamped her feet angrily and said:
"That bad guy knew you were coming here to check, so he deliberately asked you to help him deal with this mess? This is too much!"
"There is nothing excessive. Subordinates work hard to realize the leader's will, even risking their lives. As a leader, he naturally has to respond to such a noble dedication."
Mr. Hunter shook his head and said:
"Mason knew that I was the only one in the Star Castle who had the ability to resolve this matter lightly, so he asked me for help instead of messing around on his own.
This is the right choice, Anna.
That young man understands the relationship between 'obligations' and 'rights' very well, but you are far behind on this point.
You always want to get things done yourself.
But you don’t realize that if you do everything perfectly, then what is the meaning of my existence as a boss?
You should give me some room to play sometimes. "
Captain Anna pouted.
She knew Mr. Hunter was making this unfunny joke again.
After a few seconds, she frowned and said:
"Okay, I admit that what you said makes sense, but I still don't understand why Mason must do such dangerous things in the Stars Castle? He has only joined the Stars for a month and has no conflict with the Amaterasu team."
"In our line of work, conflict and contradiction are not the only reasons for doing things. What's more, there are indeed conflicts between them, irreconcilable conflicts."
Mr. Hunter walked through the devastated station, and finally picked up a broken photo frame among the embers of the flames, put it in his hand and wiped it.
In the frame is an old photo.
In the black and white photo, all the great wizards of Sir Merlin's Order have smiles on their faces. This magical image perfectly represents the scene when this photo was taken.
At that time, the young great wizard Tengu was standing together with the white-bearded old man Dumbledore, his face full of pride and pride as a great wizard.
"The person who died in this house was a traitor, Anna."
Mr. Hunter stared at this magical photo and said softly:
"When the three teams of Amaterasu, Death Eaters and Lighthouse joined the Society of Stars, I checked their background information. You know that their world was not just destroyed by the hounds.
There is a hidden secret to the downfall of that world.
And these wizards who were supposed to stand with their compatriots and resolutely resist the invaders immediately fell into the arms of the enemy.
I've seen the battle briefly.
It was they who helped unleash the virus around the world and attack governments. Without their help, the world would have been able to resist for much longer.
A zombie virus that has been at least diluted cannot destroy a world that should have great potential so quickly.
Team K has no grudge against them.
But maybe in Mason's eyes, these traitors are his enemies!
Just like me back then.
This young man is doing what I have done and what you are doing. He is finding those traitors who are more hateful than the invaders one by one, and then sending them to where they belong.
This won't buy the world's survival, but at least it can help. "
"But he's not from that world at all!"
Captain Anna sighed and said:
"He has no reason to do this. Is it just because of the resentment in his heart that he will risk destruction to execute these bastards who will always die in the future?
I don't think he's that great, and he doesn't seem like a radical person. "
"It has nothing to do with what he thinks."
Mr. Hunter put the black and white photo into the bag on his waist, and while using his great mentor authority to reshape the devastated resident room, he whispered:
“In this complicated and dark era, we don’t have so much time to pay attention to a person’s heart, Anna. What he does is more important than what he thinks.
As for the reason
Oh, when the Sons of Justice enter an evil place where black and white are reversed and order is broken, their only and natural mission is to turn the place upside down.
They will definitely do it!
Even if it's just from witnessing someone else's disaster.
Mason Cooper has a kind heart. The best thing is that he is not pedantic at all and knows how to fight against darkness in an effective, decisive and even cold-blooded way.
Just witnessing today's 'Revenge of the Dead' was enough to make me feel happy.
I'm starting to like that little guy. "
Mr. Hunter smiled and said:
"Even if we only met twice. He seemed to have figured out my preferences hidden under the mask. He knew what I wanted to see, so he presented this scene to me.
The traitor's death cry and the scattering of his filthy blood were probably the 'payments' he left me to pay me for helping him deal with his mess.
Learn from it, Anna.
This makes me feel happier than if you perfectly completed every task I asked you to do. "
"Stop your bad taste, my lord."
Captain Anna complained behind her back:
"Mason Cooper still doesn't know what kind of dangerous thing we are planning. If he knew, he would probably be so scared that he would run away from your clutches as soon as possible."
"oh?"
Mr. Hunter looked at the surrounding room that had been completely restored to its previous state.
She looked back at Anna and said meaningfully:
"Do you really think he didn't guess it? Maybe, after all, this young man has not seen the scene when the 'impact' happened, but I believe he will make up for this shortcoming soon.
At that time, he will face a choice.
Or join us.
Or for various reasons, you are willing to become a hound! "
"Then he becomes our enemy."
Captain Anna moved the gray combat gloves on her hands and said softly:
"If he dares to live up to your expectations, then I will execute him with my own hands! Just like what I did before, traitors never deserve forgiveness!"
"Stop talking about this."
Mr. Hunter specially opened a silver light curtain door. When walking into it, she asked softly:
"Have you not found your friends yet? It's been so long, have those people already?"
"Will not!"
Captain Anna said firmly:
“They set out with a great mission, and in the dark night of the apocalypse, they carried the last hope of us homeless people.
I believe they will send those precious seeds to a safe world and then come back to join us.
They must still be alive!
They may have returned to their hometown, if only I could find the way back Yes, if only I could find the damn world coordinates! I will definitely find it!
After witnessing the destruction of my homeland, I have vowed never to abandon any of my compatriots again. "
"You know how difficult this is, Anna. What you are pursuing is something more difficult than what Mason wants to do. Now he just wants to overthrow it all, and you are still trying to find the possibility of rebuilding."
Mr. Hunter also sighed.
She patted Anna on the shoulder and said:
"But have hope and look forward to it. In this dark age, that's all we have left. Speaking of which, has the swordsman contacted you recently?"
"Who wants to contact her!"
Miss Anna snorted and said:
"She is no longer one of us, she is also a traitor, and I will eventually do it with my own hands!"
