Chapter 21 21 Doctor, Do You Think I Can Be Saved?

Chapter 21 21. Doctor, do you think I can be saved?

"Bang, bang, bang"

The bullets and hoarse, dry voices that were fired wildly from the thick fog that suddenly rose due to the explosion of uncontrolled magic perfectly showed the poor mental state of a poor young man who was kidnapped by a mad wizard, tortured and somewhat unconscious.

He lay on the ground with blood all over his face, shouting and shooting randomly like a crazy veteran with PTSD.

The flying bullets forced Zack and Zatanna back.

They were magicians, but they would be injured if they were hit by bullets. However, the master who heard Mason's hoarse shouts rushed to the unconscious Mason in three or two steps like a ghost under the protection of the bulletproof cloak.

Batman waved his hand to knock the gun out of his hand, and then pressed his shoulders to hold him in place.

He said in a deep voice:

"Mason! Wake up! It's me! I'm here to save you, you're safe, kid."

"Batman? After the illusion of my parents, is he the person I admire the most? No! Don't even think about it! You're just an illusion, don't try to fool me! I won't be fooled anymore!

You damn wizard!"

Mason was howling hideously on the ground, and tried to reach out and strangle Batman's neck. In desperation, the master could only take out the bat tranquilizer and hit Mason's neck.

This made him quiet down.

The master looked at the blood and stains on the clothes of the 17-year-old thin young man in front of him. This was the embarrassing state that could only occur after a fierce resistance that could not be faked.

This made Batman believe that Mason must have been severely tortured by the mysterious wizard during the five days of disappearance.

And when the master picked up the unconscious Mason with his strong arms, Zatanna also came over with a few magic books picked up from the pit.

The master looked back at this childhood friend, the beautiful magician who almost had sex with him when he grew up. The latter's attention was attracted by the magic book in her hand.

Full of a mysterious and intellectual beauty.

She held the torn book in her hand and said to the master in a professional tone:

"It is indeed a real magic book, and judging from the obscure words and sentences in these books, it is definitely an ancient faction that has been passed down for more than a thousand years.

Batman, your city can really bring me surprises.

I know that the following request will make you feel uncomfortable, but I must use your power in the city to ask the police to temporarily block this place.

John and I must carefully examine the remains of this magic explosion and collect all the remaining magic items here.

You must understand that once these truly magic-related items fall into the hands of ordinary people, they will probably cause more chaos in your city."

"I can understand, Zatanna."

Batman glanced at Constantine who picked up a set of magic crucibles in the pit next to him, and whispered to Zatanna:

"I will ask my friends in the police station for help, but what about the wizard? Can you track him? I must know where he appeared in my city. What is he planning?

This thing gives me a bad feeling. "

"The magic line broke in an instant. This is a very advanced space magic. You also saw that the whole house was transferred to a suddenly opened space by him.

There was no sign at all.

The reaction time left for John and I was too short. We can no longer track him. "

The beautiful magician girl looked around regretfully and shook her head and said:

"That must be an experienced magician. He prepared for this situation in advance. It should be that the noise of John and I breaking the barrier was too loud to disturb him.

I'm sorry that your tracking was affected.

But you should check the child's spirit. He was obviously affected by the wizard's magic and his mental stability.

Maybe it's a vicious illusion spell. If you need it, you can contact me at any time. I will stay here with John for a few more days until the aftermath of this matter is completely over. "

"I will. Thank you for your advice and help, Xiaoza. "

The master looked at the mess around him.

He is not a superhero in the magic circle, and his understanding of magic is limited to the fur and some theories.

He had encountered this kind of sudden disappearance of a house before, and the experience last time told him that he should follow the advice of the trustworthy professional in front of him.

But before leaving, Batman asked again:

"You have to clean up these here, what about tomorrow's performance? Bruce Wayne is my friend, and I know he is looking forward to the arrival of you, the magic master."

"I can't help it, business is more important."

The female magician Miss Zatanna showed an apologetic and sweet smile.

This magic girl who really came from a magic family leaned on her magic wand, and took advantage of Constantine's inattention, tiptoed and kissed the corner of the old man's mouth under the mask.

Then he said meaningfully:

"Please explain to your friend Bruce Wayne that I will double the generous deposit he paid me."

"I think that playboy may not care about these things. So goodbye, Zatanna, I owe you a favor."

With the beauty in front of him, the master took a step back with restraint, stretched out his hand to take out the grappling gun and shot it into the sky. After saying goodbye to Zatanna, he flew into the dark night of Gotham with the unconscious Mason in his arms and quickly disappeared.

The long and straight black magical girl watched Batman disappear. She focused on the magic book in her hand, struggling to decipher the ancient grammar from more than a thousand years ago.

A few seconds later, a faint voice sounded behind her:

"Bat Boy is really stupid, thinking that I can't see it if I turn my back. But Xiao Zha, you still said that nothing happened between you and Bat Boy?

And what about that invitation from Bruce Wayne?

You didn't tell me before you came that you were a world-class rich man. A famous playboy invited you to a party. It was like a little fat sheep walking into the mouth of the big bad wolf.

You know, it makes me very insecure. "

"John, don't be so childish, we are all adults."

Zatanna had no idea of ​​explanation, just waved her hand and said:

"Besides, you and I have broken up, haven't we? Before you break up with those strange women from hell and heaven, stop meddling in my business."

"But I haven't contacted them for three whole days. I don't even read their calls or letters to me, dear Xiao Zha."

Zha Kang squinted his eyes and looked at the direction Batman left, while wailing:

"You have to believe my sincerity this time!"

——

"A special alchemical compound has been detected entering the body and is being analyzed. The item is 'Batman Combat Accessory·Special Powerful Sedative', and the formula has been included."

When Mason regained consciousness, he opened his eyes while lying on the hospital bed and saw this prompt.

Outside the translucent light curtain, there was a cold-faced female doctor in a white coat, probably in her forties, holding a stethoscope to examine his body.

At this time, warm sunlight was shining through the window. It was already early morning the next day, and sitting next to the hospital bed was someone whom Mason had not expected.

Commissioner James Gordon of the Gotham Police Department.

Judging from the dark circles under Commissioner Gordon's eyes, you can tell that he must not have had much rest in the past few days when Mason was missing.

"Thank God you finally woke up."

When he noticed that Mason opened his eyes and looked at him, the director, who was still a little worried, suddenly smiled, and then he said to Mason with a trace of guilt:

"Sorry, kid, the news about the safe house was leaked by the mole in the police station. It was my fault and the mole has been arrested. But I was really relieved after Batman told me that you were rescued safely.

This is all my fault. "

"Come on, Director, you and I both know it's not your fault."

Mason's voice was still a little weak, but that wasn't entirely a disguise.

His mental state has been tense in the past few days, coupled with the effect of the weird stars that curse the soul, making his current condition really unhealthy.

But he reached out and patted Gordon's wrist, tried his best to smile and said:

"At the time, I thought those were the Penguin gang's killers, but now I think about it, Gotham's gangs are not that outrageous yet.

Who are they?

Why are you coming at me? "

"They...well, how should I put it, may be an organization like folklore."

Gordon took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes tiredly and said:

"Have you ever heard of the League of Assassins?"

"Gordon!"

Just when the director said the name, the female doctor who examined Mason stood up, put her hands on her hips and said:

"You are not allowed to talk about these things in my clinic. I have other patients. The child is very weak and needs to rest now. Maybe I should ask you to leave."

As the head of the Gotham Police Department, Commissioner Gordon is supposed to be a dignified person.

But Mason noticed that this rare conscientious policeman and tough guy in Gotham was particularly weak when facing the cold-faced doctor.

Even feeling a little guilty.

He immediately stood up and smiled awkwardly at the doctor, then smiled at Mason and said:

"Leslie is right, you should rest now, Mason. I will come to pick you up when you recover. Oh, by the way, don't worry about your residence, I have arranged a new safe house for you.

It's absolutely safe this time! "

After saying that, he smiled flatteringly at the cold-faced doctor, but the latter didn't even look at him. It wasn't until the director dragged his tired body out of the ward that the doctor shook his head.

He looked back at Mason and said:

"There are no obvious injuries. Most of them are just scratches and have been mostly healed. But your spirit is very weak. My child, I will prescribe you some medicine and check the situation.

If all goes well, you can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. "

Mason nodded, thanked the doctor politely, and asked in a low voice:

"Are you an old acquaintance with Director Gordon?"

"I used to be his fiancée until that bitch hooked up with my bestie. Almost ten years ago, that old bitch came to me with a pair of children after their relationship broke up and got divorced."

The cold-faced doctor, who was in his forties but still had charm, did not hide anything. He said to Mason openly:

"Are you satisfied with my story? Nosy little guy."

"I don't mean any disrespect to you, Dr. Leslie, and I apologize if this offended you."

Mason knew he was asking something he shouldn't be asking.

Once again, his age helped him, and Dr. Leslie clearly had no intention of competing with a 17-year-old, she was just taking the heat of Gordon's presence on the kid.

She told Mason not to move too much, then opened the door and walked out.

After the doctor left, Mason stood up and walked to the window to take a look outside. He was shocked to find that the clinic was not in the downtown area but near the "famous attraction" Crime Alley in Gotham City.

From this second-floor window, you can even directly see the alley that is very famous in every sense. One day thirty years ago, Bruce Wayne lost his parents there.

That night was also the origin of Batman.

"If you dare to open a clinic near here, this doctor doesn't look like an ordinary person."

Mason thought about it.

Crime Alley is a famous chaotic area in the city. All the major gangs have businesses nearby. Batman sending him here last night proves that there must be some relationship between this clinic, Dr. Leslie and Batman.

Mason originally wanted to find a way to contact his younger brother Kite Man.

But he suddenly discovered that the two of them didn't exchange phone calls, and what was even more embarrassing was that he didn't seem to have a mobile phone since he was reborn.

After much deliberation, I can only wait until two days later to meet the kite man on time at the dock in Port Miller. I hope that the unlucky guy will not encounter any danger.

The sudden relaxation after being tense made Mason suddenly fall into a state of having nothing to do. He lay back on the bed and started to look at the drawings he had accumulated so far in various branches of his skills.

And pick out something you can try now.

This challenge took place in the evening, and Mason found pessimistically that he would probably be very busy in the coming days. Whether it's engineering or alchemy, there are too many drawings waiting for him to try to make.

Especially alchemy.

The alchemy notes left by Old K recorded more than twenty types of high-level potions with different effects and downgraded versions of low-level medicines, as well as the Hogwarts potions collection, etc.

From the information about the Sorcerer's Stone and the magic engine of the Hogwarts train, it can be judged that if Mason wants to obtain high-level drawings and items in the future, he must "fully develop".

In other words, he not only has to practice the several branches of skills that have been unlocked, but also the branches of enchantment, jewelry processing and forging, and collection that have not been unlocked as soon as possible.

The most outrageous thing is that Mason actually saw "cooking skills" among the unlocked branch skills, which really planned to make him a veritable "all-professional master".

But a person's energy is limited.

Mason couldn't imagine how much time it would take him to integrate so many branches?

With this thought in mind, the young man decided to take a nap before lunch and see if he could come up with a plan in the afternoon.

And just a few minutes after he fell asleep, Mason was suddenly awakened.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a guy wearing a khaki windbreaker lined with a white shirt and a red tie tied randomly around his neck. He was also smoking in the ward with bad behavior standing in front of him.

Zha Kang!

Mason recognized the bastard immediately.

He had seen him last night, when he was with Zatanna and Batman.

But before Mason could speak, his left hand was grabbed by Zha Kang, and the wide sleeve of the hospital gown was pulled upward, revealing the weird black ghost claw tattoo on Mason's arm.

"call"

Seeing this thing, Zha Kang blew out a smoke ring with satisfaction.

He sat carelessly beside Mason's hospital bed, flicked the cigarette ashes on the disposable paper cup from which Mason drank water, glanced at the young man again, and said in a long voice:

"Oh, Dr. Constantine is here to treat you, Mason Cooper, you little guy with a secret, look at your illness."

This annoying guy pointed to the tattoo on Mason’s arm and said meaningfully:

"I thought I felt wrong last night. After I banished the eight undead grudges buried deep in the lunatic asylum in this city last year, how could there still be such a dark atmosphere in this city?

But it turns out that even if John is dumped by a girl, he is still the same powerful John!

Young man, you are really very ill. "

Facing Mason, whose expression changed slightly, Constantine took a deep breath of smoke full of malice, blew out a smoke ring, and formed the strange-colored smoke into a green skull in front of Mason's eyes.

While he was playing tricks, he said:

"How did you survive the torture of that dangerous dark wizard for five whole days? Come on, tell me quietly, did you make a deal with some weird and mysterious existence in order to survive?"

After hearing Zha Kang's guess, Mason, who was still nervous at first, suddenly relaxed.

Zha Kang's suspicion is actually very reasonable and quite logical, but the problem is that except for the correct result, you have guessed everything else completely wrong, genius!

The young man maintained a slightly frightened expression, looking at the proud Zha Kang, he curled his lips inwardly.

Not urgent.

Let’s first try to find out what the hell this hateful guy is doing here?

Well, let's play with him later.
