Chapter 222 20 Those Who only Plot Are Not Called Ambitious People

Chapter 222 20. Those who only plot are not ambitious

The magic lizard tank that had fallen into the sea finally got rid of the ice and began to float up.

Batgirl covered her head that was so hot that it was boiling, and weakly jumped out of the driver's seat and threw a flying claw towards the sea in front, pulling Jason to her side with difficulty.

But at this moment, she was suffering from terrible pain in her brain and couldn't even complete this action. She shook her wrist and lay on the armor of the magic lizard tank, and the treatment injection in her hand also slipped into the floating sea water next to her.

"No."

Barbara looked at the two barrels floating on the water in the distance, and she groaned in pain:

"Who will help me?"

Perhaps Batgirl's prayer was really heard by something. At the moment when she tried to climb up, the treatment injection that had sunk into the sea was lifted up from the water by a strange tentacle hand covered with white keratin and barnacles.

A twisted shadow moved quickly in the water, and with the other hand, it pushed Jason Todd, who had sunk into the water, onto the armor of the lizard tank floating on the sea.

Barbara looked into the water.

A familiar weather-beaten face, a few gold teeth in his mouth, and an old hat on his head could be vaguely seen across the water, but his body had been twisted into a half-monster like the captain he was now.

"Captain Barbossa"

Barbara called out.

The twisted shadow under the water did not turn back but waved goodbye to her, then disappeared into the cold and turbid sea water.

Batgirl pulled over the second barrel, whose body temperature was frighteningly low, and took out the injection made of the life-saving potion mixed with unicorn blood that Mason gave her and stabbed it into Jason's neck, and then put him in the driver's seat of the lizard tank.

The propeller of this tank was undergoing self-inspection and repair. As a technological weapon of the future era, it has a complete biological monitoring and protection system, in which the seriously injured second barrel will be treated and maintained.

With Mason's magic potion, as long as his head is not chopped off, he can still be saved. At worst, send the second barrel to Judy, replace him with some prosthetics, and he will be a brave man again in a short time.

"Old De, we have to go back, send us over. The sea water is getting warmer, and this world can't hold on."

Barbara climbed back to the cockpit with difficulty.

She grabbed a bag of ice cubes and put it on her hot forehead to physically cool down the frontal lobe. In this case, she dared not connect to the consciousness console of the demon lizard again. Fortunately, there was still an old driver AI operating in this tank that was dismantled by Bizarro.

And at the moment when this thing was started with difficulty, a hand covered with cracks snapped on the scandium alloy reactive armor of the demon lizard tank.

Then a guy with a knife stuck in his back climbed up the top cover with difficulty.

This movement was immediately captured by the external monitoring of the tank. The moment Barbara saw the miserable zombie superman climbing up, she grabbed the Mox shotgun at hand.

She glanced at the unconscious Ertong beside her, gritted her teeth, and shouted to the onboard AI:

"Self-destruction program activated! Delaman, shoot the two of us out and blow this guy to death!"

"Calm down! Passenger No. 4, the target seems to be talking!"

The intelligent AI Delaman stopped Barbara's somewhat extreme reaction. It activated the sound collection module, allowing the weak voice of the zombie Superman lying behind the tank to be transmitted into the cockpit.

What the guy said was:

"Help. Weak enemy that brought monsters. I slept. Kill me."

"Is this a provocation? So stubborn?"

Barbara's teeth were rubbing sparks, but Delaman explained:

"Passenger No. 1 said before that all the behaviors and thoughts of this life form are upside down, so this program guesses that what he really wants to express is that he hopes we can save him?"

--

"Your team members are very powerful. All the fourth-ranked superhumans in the Cleaner Sequence have been defeated by you. It seems that Team K is not just a C-level team.

I probably understand why old Norman insisted that I come by and talk to you."

In the ruins of the city hall at the highest point of Virginia City, which was completely covered by the uncontrolled tide, Tony Stark, sitting on a lame chair in the dim area, stared at the Fenrir armor in front of him.

To be precise, it was Mason who was staring at him in the control cabin of the armor that was ejected.

The giant power armor in front of this guy raised his fists.

The left arm is an enlarged caliber freezing gun, the right arm is an EMP jammer composed of electromagnetic circles, and the silver-gray armor shoulder ejects four high-energy particle shoulder cannons that constantly move back and forth to aim at various important positions on his body.

As long as he moves slightly, Mason will turn the last 5% of his energy into a lethal attack and hit him.

And at the foot of the Fenrir armor, there is a storage box of a red nano blood-edged armor that has been dismantled and only the wreckage remains. It is like a high-tech suitcase, with a very classic red and gold paint.

This thing is Mason's "trophy".

He doesn't plan to return this thing to anyone or give it to anyone.

"Are you going to keep silent like this? Stare me to death with your eyes?"

Mason's silence soon made Tony Stark in front of him unhappy. He crossed his legs on the lame chair, raised his left arm and looked at a watch-like instrument in front of him, and said very impolitely:

"The impact is accelerating. There are only fifteen minutes left before the world finally collapses. It is conservatively estimated that we both need ten minutes to deal with each other's personal affairs, so there is only five minutes left to chat.

Do you want me to share some details from the Doomsday War more than three years ago to prove my identity? "

"No need! I believe you are from Norman's side, otherwise I will definitely not be the first to be unlucky."

Mason squinted his eyes and asked:

"What position do you hold in the higher-level organization of the Society of Stars? Why did you enter here as a conqueror, etc. There is no need to answer the second question.

Are you here to pick up old J?

Will you and Quint be on the line? It's quite fast. "

"Two mistakes!"

Tony Stark in front of Mason touched his coquettish beard, raised two fingers and said:

"First of all, I am not in the parent organization of the Star Society. I work in their brother organization, a place called the 'Fox Nest', which is a gathering place for the best and most talented researchers in the parallel world.

The ‘Fox’s Nest’ is responsible for collecting various conjectures about the doomsday impact in various parallel worlds, perfecting and verifying them, in an attempt to restore the principles and truth of the impact.

This also leads to your second mistake.

I don't come as a conqueror, Mason.

I'm here as a frontline researcher.

The topic I am responsible for at this time is to collect the laws of various cosmological constant imbalances caused by the collision of two parallel planes when an impact occurs, in order to infer whether an instrument can be built to withstand such an impact.

I selected 248 target objects for this impact event to collect experimental data. At this moment, my 24 detectors are rotating around the two colliding worlds to collect various data.

So theoretically speaking, it's not that I entered your battlefield, but that you broke into my testing ground. "

"Sounds awesome."

Mason somewhat believed what the guy in front of him said. He raised his eyebrows and said:

"So, is this really achievable?"

"sure!

With the help of advanced or strange technologies recovered for us from various worlds by the good dogs of the Society of Stars, I am completely confident that I can completely collect all kinds of data when the worlds collide.

It's not difficult at all. "

Tony Stark snapped his fingers and said:

"You can even do it. You only need to be familiar with it for a while to design a similar instrument. In fact, I think a dog can do it next to a computer."

"No, no, no, I'm not talking about your behavior of collecting data."

Mason corrected:

"I'm talking about your experimental idea of ​​designing an instrument to withstand the collision of two worlds. Is this really achievable?"

"Uh, this."

Iron Man curled his lips, spread his hands frankly, and said:

"Of course we can't."

"ha?"

Mason was stunned, and then heard the guy in front of him say in a long and unbeatable voice:

"If I could do this kind of thing, I would have solved the impact incident from the root. Then would I still have free time to come here and chat with you, a little guy?

This research project was originally established to facilitate the concealment of my identity and to defraud funds in order to support old Norman's actions in staying in his hometown.

This project is very popular and will not be suspected. In the entire fox nest, a brick was thrown down and ten scientific research dogs were killed. At least six of them were engaged in similar projects.

Three of the remaining four are still pretending magicians trying to use magical means to achieve this goal.

The last one is a total psychopath. "

Iron Man snorted, shook his head and said:

"But it's not that simple. This matter is more troublesome than you think. The Fox Nest was established before the Star Council and swallowed up countless resources, but so far it hasn't even come up with anything.

I have to admit tragically that the result of our work at this time is a pile of answers. "

"No way?"

Mason said in surprise:

"Countless geniuses from countless worlds have gathered together to study for more than 20 years. It's impossible that they can't even come up with an answer, right?"

"No, on the plus side, we do have the answer."

Tony rubbed his forehead and explained:

"The bad thing is, we have too many answers.

There are no less than 150 mathematical model conjectures for impact events in Fox Nest's database. The worst thing is that each of them can be confirmed from some direction.

This means that every one of those wild and even contradictory ideas is correct."

"This is impossible!"

Mason immediately shook his head and said:

"I can understand having multiple solutions to a question, but this kind of thing"

“The simpler the question, the more solutions there are.”

Tony Stark stood up and walked out of the shadow area with his hands behind his back. He raised his head and looked at Mason as the earth trembled, and said:

"This shows that the truth of the impact incident is not as complicated as we thought. There is no conspiracy and no terrible villain. Maybe it is just a self-destruction of the entire parallel world system that is too outdated.

Just like every universe will eventually enter heat death, and every life will usher in death.

If you are too old, you must die once.

Of course, this is not something I want to discuss with you in the remaining two minutes. Frankly speaking, it is a bit too difficult for you to consider this matter at your research level.

I'm actually just bringing you a message for Norman, Mason. "

"Click"

The cockpit of the Fenrir armor popped open, and Mason, wearing the Isu armor, jumped out of it. Facing Tony Stark, he said:

"I just met him before, less than 24 hours ago. Since he asked you to bring a message to me, it means that there are some things he can't say in front of me.

Does he have a monitor around him?"

"Not yet, but he doesn't want to arouse the suspicion of his 'new friends'."

Iron Man shrugged and said:

"Although it sounds troublesome, Norman was able to hide under the nose of the Star Society for three years because of this caution and good maneuvering. Your Quint Society is really not simple.

With your matchmaking, we have contacted them in various aspects. They have taken over our system and incorporated our intelligence network into theirs.

They are quite efficient and seem to be able to execute The power is very strong and they welcome new friends.

The only problem is that they have taken over our intelligence system and asked us to stop all secret searches and sabotage operations against the Star Society.

The reason is that they are afraid that we will be exposed.

But to be honest, this behavior makes me doubt their motives. "

Hearing this, Mason raised his eyes and said faintly:

"We really can't check everything. What if we really find something embarrassing? I roughly understand what old Norman means. He also began to doubt the Quint Society.

It's the same as my idea.

Now I feel more and more that the Quint Society may be just a group of "reformists" rather than the "opposition" we originally thought. They hope to take over and transform the Star Society, rather than the complete overthrow and disbandment I want. "

"Yes, that's what you mean. You are really a smart person. "

Tony nodded happily, looked at Mason, and said:

"This is what Norman wanted me to tell you.

He is not satisfied with this situation, so he plans to continue to make friends with you.

Because he knows that you really want to overturn the dark age created by the Star Society, and that is also the purpose of him and us.

Norman Osborn knows that you doubt his sincerity, and he does not intend to prove it. He just guessed the difficulty of your operation, so he entrusted me to help you when you are about to be wiped out.

His meaning is very clear.

He does not expect or expect you to trust us, but when you are in despair, you can at least count on us to pull you out of the quagmire. In many cases, this is actually the basis for in-depth cooperation between the two sides."

"No, I don't know what you think, but I know what old Norman does. All this is just to be in power. "

Mason bluntly exposed this statement, he said:

"The ambitious man couldn't make a name for himself in the previous Star Club, so he placed his hopes on the Quint Club. Now he finds that the Quint Club is also the same, but he is unwilling to be just an executor.

He hopes that he, not others, will take over the Star Club. He thinks he can do better than the current insects.

Tony, do you believe in Norman Osborn? Or let me ask you a question I asked Norman, why have you been lurking in the Fox Nest for more than three years? "

"Many people died, and I'm still alive. "

Tony Stark moved his neck and said:

"So the unfinished business of those who died should be shouldered by those of us who are still alive and strive to achieve it. I lost a lot that night three years ago, and almost all of my best friends are gone.

I don't like Steve, he is almost the opposite of me, but I'm sorry and angry about his death.

Listen!

I'm not interested in Norman's real thoughts, I don't care what he wants to do at all! I only know that working with him can bring me closer to my goal.

I might as well tell you honestly, Mason.

My friends and I are almost finding the world coordinates of the "superior organization", and the encrypted "evil heart" is about to be exposed to us.

Then"

The Iron Man in front of him showed a hideous smile, which was fleeting, and then he adjusted his collar in a gentle tone, blinked at Mason and said:

"You know, my friends and I will deal with them the way they treat other worlds! Now give me an answer, Mason, do you plan to follow your superiors and continue to mess with Quint?

Or do you want to stand with Norman and us? "

Faced with this question, Mason shrugged and said:

"Why do I have to choose one? Why can't I have both?"

"Well? "

Tony Stark glanced at him in surprise, and Mason did not hide it. He said:

"The foundation of the existence of the Star Society is the World Gate. If you want to destroy this organization, you must first break the gate and kill the devil guarding the gate.

So, you see, both of us have our own things to do.

You have to secretly find the world where the "superior organization" is located, and I have to deal with the package of the World Gate. Everyone needs a place where we can meet and temporarily shelter us.

Why do we have to choose this time to set up our own business?

And my superior

He is also a person who can be won over. Let me do this. In addition, when you take your friends to ignite the world where the "superior organization" is located and burn the initiator of everything to ashes, don't forget to call me. "

Mason shrugged and said:

"I really don't want to miss that good show. "

"Okay, I'll treat you as our friend for the time being, Mason. "

Tony Stark took a deep look at the young man in front of him, patted Mason on the shoulder, and said:

"But to join our 'party', you and your people have to be a little more powerful. The girl in your team trapped the data consciousness that controls Bizarro in the component in her brain, which is not a safe option.

Anim Zora, who regards Bizarro as a perfect body and has been hiding in the mindless Superman's mind to control him, is a dangerous opponent. You'd better put his data consciousness in a more strict prison.

Now, turn around and leave with your people, Mason. There is nothing to see in this world that will be sacrificed to the dark stars.

My experiment must continue.

Although it is a scam, the end of not being able to produce anything is very miserable. I don't want to be executed by those guys in the name of 'wasting resources'.

Especially when I know they can really do such a thing."

Iron Man snapped his fingers, and a new set of battle clothes quickly appeared on his body. This unreliable guy admired the surprised expression on Mason's face at this time.

He squinted his eyes and said in a cheerful tone:

"Also, you don't really think that destroying a suit of armor means you have defeated the famous Iron Man, right? To achieve this goal, you still have to work harder, C-level personnel."
