Chapter 201 84 Good News, It Has Grown. Bad News, It Has Grown Crooked [615]
Chapter 201 84. Good news, he has grown up. Bad news, he has grown crooked——[615]
(Additional chapter for brother ‘Humenyan’!)
Mason was beaten up.
Well, it’s a bit exaggerated to say he was beaten up. In fact, Mr. Hunter used the “Force” to pinch his neck and hammered him back and forth in the basement. He was not hurt at all because he was wearing the Vanguard Armor. He just treated it as a test for the armor.
The test results were good.
My face just hurts a little
"I swear the bug has never been activated, otherwise you would definitely be able to detect the weak energy it emits with your perception. I just want to be on the safe side."
Mason held the shiny helmet of the Vanguard Armor and explained to the hunter who took off his mask and crushed the bug in the basement:
"After all, you are risking being discovered to return to Star Castle. I have to prepare in advance. If your identity is exposed and you are imprisoned, I have to find someone to save you.
This is just a kind of... well, safe concern, not a rude prying from a subordinate."
"You? Save me?"
Mason's words made Mr. Hunter laugh.
She maintained the man's voice, took out a mask and put it on her face, saying:
"You don't seem to have a clear understanding of your own strength. Although I was beaten badly by Cassandra, that Isu demigod is also one of the top few in the parallel world system.
I also admit that Team K did a good job, but your absolute strength is almost like walking into a trap if you want to force your way into Star Castle."
"If I really take that step, I guess it won't just be Team K that I take to Star Castle."
Mason stroked the dust on his helmet and said softly:
"You don't think that the only people I can get are my teammates, right?"
"That's fine."
The hunter shook his head and said:
"The traitor who maintains a good relationship with the great heroes of the Justice League said You sound confident when you say this, but I doubt you will do that.
Our relationship doesn't seem to be good enough for you to risk your team's annihilation and rush into the enemy's lair for me. "
"It's not about whether our relationship is good or bad, but you saved us."
Mason explained:
"Although it was me who helped everyone escape in the end, you risked rushing in to rescue us when we were in trouble, which was beyond the limit of what a boss should do.
I apologize for my previous suspicions and rude temptations towards you. You are indeed a very good collaborator."
These very frank and true words silenced Mr. Hunter who came to cause trouble in a rage. She didn't have the ability to read minds and had no way to tell whether Mason was sincere.
But at a certain moment, she was willing to believe these heartwarming words.
After a few seconds of silence, she looked back at Mason and said:
"Is Odin's golden apple unlocked?"
"Yes."
Mason took out the golden apple that had been unlocked from his arms, threw it to the hunter, and said:
"It has special data encryption, and the internal information is all Isu text, which is a kind of extrasensory text that requires special talents to understand.
Therefore, you need some people who are proficient in this to transcribe it into a language you can understand.
I have translated it once, and the text can be directly extracted from it.
The extraction password is 'The Stars Will Destroy', but I think you may not trust me too much, so I just I suggest you be careful when transcribing.
There is a self-destruct switch in the golden apple.
If you accidentally touch it"
"No one distrusts you, Mason, you should control your paranoia."
Mr. Hunter put the golden apple into his bag, she hesitated and asked:
"To be on the safe side, I have to ask, is the information you transcribed all there is?"
"Everything you should know is in there."
Mason shrugged and said:
"About the past and future of the Isu civilization, about the cause of the impact event they predicted 70,000 years ago, about the Isu people's understanding and summary of the parallel world system and their efforts to continue civilization All the efforts made.
Of course, there is also the end of civilization after failure.
It is like an epic that records the rise and fall of a civilization. The text is delicate and emotional. It is really good to use it as a bedtime reading. I strongly recommend you to read it several times. "
"Where are the drawings of the Aurora device? What is its working principle? And what about the energy weapon device left by the Isu that can destroy the projection core of the World Gate?"
The hunter said a little angrily:
"You hid all the important information? This won't work, Mason, they won't be satisfied."
"What does their dissatisfaction have to do with me?"
Mason spread his hands and asked back:
"I don't know them, Why should I trust them unconditionally? I trust you, but please understand that my boss, the people behind you are just strangers to me.
At least now.
I won't hide it from you.
I have a contract with Sister Ka and her world, but that is not what Quint would have made with her. She said it very clearly that she doesn't trust you.
To be honest, I don't really trust you either.
Those who hide their heads and show their tails always need to be treated with more vigilance. "
"Mason."
The stubbornness and suspicion of the subordinates really made Mr. Hunter feel overwhelmed at this moment. She vaguely remembered that when she first met Mason, this young man was not so difficult to deal with.
That was just over a month ago. Why did he change so drastically?
"You are already Old K."
The hunter sat back in his chair and persuaded:
"You are already one of us. I think you should show us more trust and kindness. Don't forget that they helped you suppress the trouble you caused in the Spider-Man world.
Even if you admire Batman's secretive style, you should show your sincerity after both parties have clearly shown a cooperative attitude. You make me very embarrassed!
I can't take a civilization record or an epic novel back to report."
"I'm just a little worried."
Seeing that Mr. Hunter's tone softened, Mason couldn't pursue him relentlessly.
He thought about it and decided to tell the truth, so he pulled a chair and sat opposite his boss, and said to her:
"The device left by the Isu civilization can protect a world, isolating it from the parallel world system during the impact event and thus preventing it from being affected by the impact.
Although I still don't understand the truth about the impact event that you have been hiding, I also know the value of this technology.
It can be promoted or hidden as a bargaining chip.
Just based on my understanding of the style of the Star Society and your brother organizations, I believe that once this thing is handed over, Sister Ka will immediately suffer unprecedented pressure.
Do you understand what I mean?
In this dark age, it is already difficult for them to survive, and I don't want to be because of My misjudgment will bring them disaster again.
So you want me to hand over this information, no problem!
But you have to make sure that the people behind you can use it properly, at least keep it secret and don't cause a world invasion. If you can give me a guarantee, I will immediately hand over this information.
Even the production drawings of the golden apple will be given to you. "
Mason sat on the chair, bent down, staring at Mr. Hunter in front of him, he clasped his hands together and supported his chin, saying:
"Look, all I need is a guarantee.
You can tell me first to calm me down, it doesn't matter whether it's true or not at this time, but if something really happens to Sister Ka, my friends and I will make trouble for you. "
But Mr. Hunter was silent.
She was slow to give Mason the answer he wanted.
When the silence lasted for thirty seconds, Mason shrugged, leaned back in his chair and said:
"You see, you don't dare to fully trust your 'partners'. Do you know what this means? You have a conscience, but you are not sure if your collaborators have this thing.
And this is what I am most worried about.
I did not join the Star Society to go along with them. I chose to cooperate with you for my goal. I will not put the survival of a world on the table as a chip to make a profit for me.
That is not my style, and it should not be yours either."
"They will not rest until they get this thing."
The hunter rubbed his forehead and said:
"Quint will take root in this system. We oppose the current Star Society. The current situation of the society, but we also have hardliners who are not threatened. Mason, you are asking for trouble. "
"Trouble?"
Mason curled his lips and said:
"No trouble, the worst result is that I will part ways with you, become a traitor in your eyes, and then be tracked down by the execution team to try to kill me.
But my good friends Superman and Flash may have different opinions on this result.
Do you need me to call them now?"
Captain took out his flip phone and shook it in front of the hunter, saying:
"Batman is also OK, I guess the master should be patrolling the city at night now, and it will only take a few minutes to get here, I can just introduce you to him as a friend He.
In this way, you can also say goodbye to them. ”
“Your world can’t stand it!”
The hunter shook his head and said:
“The Justice League can’t protect you forever.”
“I think it can.”
Mason pouted and said:
“You attacked the old Spider’s world after the Avengers split, arranged the Skrulls in advance, and used the source zombie virus to weaken them again.
This may be a kind of caution.
But it also proves that when facing that level of power, you are not sure of winning.
Now someone who is very familiar with your work style and invasion plan stands on the side of the Justice League. I think with my help, we have a high chance of defeating you.
At worst, I can also ask for help.
Old Spider, Sister Ka, and those wanderers who are on the edge of the Star Society.
They obey you not because you are powerful, but because they have no choice now! Once a force that can compete with the Star Society appears.
Even if we just win a war, we will instantly gain a large number of supporters.
I admit that the Star Society is a huge organization, like a bloated clay-footed giant, but the stronger you are, the more enemies you will have. "
"No, Mason, I admit that what you said makes sense, but you overlooked a very important point."
The hunter looked up and said to Mason:
"Aren't you curious about where the Star Society got the source of the zombie virus from?"
This question made Mason's face change slightly.
Then he heard the hunter say to him in a tone of sharing a secret:
"I was watching when the first World Gate was forged, and I can tell you, Mason, that the World Gate was not originally used for the Star Society to explore everywhere.
It was a sealing device!
It separates an extremely dangerous universe and parallel world system, which is why the entire high-level of the Star Society is so nervous after the assassin world attacked the projection core of the World Gate.
Your "Sister Ka" has no idea what she is doing!
If she really damages the World Gate, everyone will be doomed! In a month at most, the entire parallel world system that has been explored will be devoured by a group of hungry guys.
They will definitely do that.
Because they have already eaten up many parallel planes.
It was the impact event that tore the stability of the multiverse apart. They are the most dangerous of all the malice released. I beg you, Mason.
Don't play such a dangerous game anymore. The Star Society really has a trump card!
The kind that can overturn the table!
This organization can't guarantee victory in every battle, but it can drag everyone to hell together. In your words, it's hard enough for everyone to live in this era, don't make it more difficult for us. "
"2149 Universe! "
Mason sat up straight with a start.
He finally remembered the meaning of this string of numbers in his complicated memory. It was an extremely niche parallel universe, so niche that Mason had only heard of it but never really understood it.
But according to the big secret revealed by the hunter, it should be the "zombie universe" that Mason had heard of.
No wonder the source zombie virus could easily destroy the Avengers of the old Spider world. Even the cosmic gods like Galactus couldn't stand it.
"It seems that you have understood the seriousness of the problem."
Mr. Hunter shook his head and said:
"Hand over the information. I promise I will do my best to make the best use of it. You know, once they are spread to various worlds, at least more people can be saved.
And all this is your credit. "
"I can hand over part of it first."
Mason nodded, and seemed to be convinced so he gave in. He said:
"That is a very complicated device. It takes time for you to get familiar with Isu technology. After you take out the prototype, I will also hand over the production method of the golden apple.
This is good for both of us.
You got the stuff, and I don't have to worry about being abandoned by you. "
"Okay."
The hunter stopped asking questions.
She looked at Mason in front of her and said:
"You've grown up very quickly, but not in the way I imagined. I think you've been with Batman for too long.
Your thinking has begun to become bat-like.
After leaving Gotham last time, I spent some time reading records in the Star Society Library. I know that Batman has a counter-tactic for all potential enemies.
Then let me ask you, do you have a counter-tactic for me?"
Faced with this question, Mason showed a rather mysterious smile and said:
"It's being formulated, but I need more information about you, but since we're talking about this, I think I should tell you some thoughts in advance, so as to avoid conflicts and disagreements in this regard in the future.
I don't want to destroy our current state of pleasant cooperation.
About the Quint Club.
I mean, the Quint Club in my eyes. "
"Well, go ahead, I'm listening. "
The hunter crossed his legs, put the sword on his legs and looked at Mason, waiting for his words.
The captain organized his words and said:
"I don't know how or why they persuaded you to join, but based on my conversations with Old J and the old Green Goblin who was about to be absorbed by them, they seem to be very good at persuading others with ideals and the future.
This is not a good phenomenon.
As far as my life creed is concerned, if someone talks to me about ideals when we first meet, I will assume that they want to cheat me.
Of course, I am not advising you to be vigilant against your companions like me.
I just provide you with a different way of looking at the problem.
You might as well recall what you did after joining them, whether it really helped the current bad environment, or
they are actually using you to achieve some of the goals and results they want, just like the stars will use us. "
Mason paused.
He glanced at Mr. Hunter and said:
"You are a person who is good at action but not good at planning. You are the kind of person that those conspirators like the most. In extreme cases, only a lofty goal may be enough to impress you.
However, truly great people never bother to weave dreams with words.
Take Sir Geralt, the greatest demon hunter in history from his world, whom Old K admires the most. Have you ever seen that silent man establish an organization that claims to bring welfare to the world?
No.
He only swings his sword to kill every evil demon he encounters. He seems to be indifferent to the world, but when facing the terrifying Wild Hunt, he will still swing his sword silently, just like he faces a weak daytime banshee.
Do you understand what I mean?
In this dark age, actions are always more important than words.
Don't be fooled!
Don't be used as a gun. "
When Mason mentioned the name "Geralt", Mr. Hunter's fingers on the sword suddenly clenched a little. She hadn't heard this name from others for a long, long time.
After a few seconds of hesitation, she whispered:
"So, in your eyes, Quint is just a place that sells dog meat under the guise of sheep?"
"No, I lack evidence, so I won't make such an arbitrary conclusion."
Mason shook his head, took out a hard drive containing the blueprints of the Aurora device and handed it to the hunter, saying:
"I'm just saying that from what I've seen so far, I don't see any difference between them and the stars, and I don't see how their existence will help the situation.
Maybe my vision is too shallow and I've seen too little, but if you want me to trust them, words alone are not enough.
Do you have anything else to say?
If not, I'll ask you to leave. I'm still very busy tonight and have a lot of things to do."
"Yes."
Mr. Hunter put away the hard drive and said:
"There is another very important task for you."
