Chapter 237 35 Goodbye Gotham, I'm Sailing Away Tonight
Chapter 237 35. Goodbye Gotham, tonight I will sail away
Gotham City, in the afternoon, in Dr. Leslie's clinic in Crime Alley, it was less than forty minutes before the K team's scheduled operation time.
Mason estimated that the movement he had just passed through the world gate had been captured, but the spellcasters were probably stopped by the master before they could come.
That's good.
It was just convenient for him to deal with some "private" matters before the official start of filming.
Batman should be arranging a tactical discussion plan for the spell caster and the vanguard members of the Justice League. In a sense, this tactical meeting is equivalent to Mason holding it with his enemies.
"Resign?"
Dr. Leslie, who had just spent a fulfilling day and was getting ready to pack up and get off work, looked radiant. The beauty potion from Mason made her feel like she was young again.
However, when he saw the resignation letter handed over by Mason that suddenly appeared in front of him, the cold-faced and warm-hearted doctor was still stunned.
She looked at the young man in front of her in surprise and said:
"What happened? Are you leaving Gotham?"
"More or less, because of some personal reasons that will definitely scare you when I mention them, I may have to say goodbye to this city for a while."
Mason, wearing a gray trench coat, played with the Panama hat in his hand. He looked at the surrounding environment with a hint of regret and nostalgia, and said:
“Today is my last day at the clinic, and thank you, Dr. Leslie, I have indeed spent a very fulfilling and meaningful period of my life here.
You taught me a lot.
If I could live my life over again, I hope I could spend my entire youth here. Unfortunately, there is no chance to do it over again. "
Dr. Leslie felt a little regretful, but nodded.
Although he criticized Mason, an employee who often disappeared suddenly for several days, the doctor still felt very sorry for the amazing talent this young man showed in the field of first aid.
If Mason wasn't a superhero and secret vigilante, he would probably be a very good and talented surgeon.
Of course, Dr. Leslie is also worried that his clinic may have to find another chef.
"Others are fine, but Wendy will probably be very sad."
Dr. Leslie put Mason's resignation letter in her drawer, and she took a large box of "beauty potion" that Mason handed over to her in a very sensible way.
These are enough for doctors to use for more than half a year.
It was very pleasing as a parting gift and put Dr. Leslie in the mood to joke:
"You know that little girl has always admired you, but you always stayed away from her. Mason, you have your secret life, but even Batman needs Catwoman's company. You can't always refuse everyone who tries to enter you. Good girl of life.
Just like a ship drifting on the sea, there will always be a day when it returns to the dock. "
"I know, but I am currently entering a certain dark period of life, which is too dangerous for a good girl like her. She deserves a better person, and I believe she will definitely meet it."
Mason stood up, put on his hat and said:
"Call Gordon to pick you up, doctor. It will be safer to stay at his place for the next few days. Go to bed early tonight and don't wander outside."
He glanced at the dusk outside the window and said softly:
"After a short period of time, this truly 'alive' city will probably be very unstable."
"Is it that serious?"
Dr. Leslie sensed something in Mason's words, and suddenly felt a headache and rubbed his forehead and said:
"I just felt that the security here in Crime Alley has improved a lot recently. I heard that there is a masked female vigilante with twin tails operating nearby, working with a baseball bat and being very ruthless.
Several nearby streets have been paved by her. "
Hearing this, Mason's mouth twitched, thinking that Harley has been playing a lot lately.
He said goodbye to Leslie and walked out of the clinic wearing a hat, a windbreaker and an umbrella. As a result, he saw Wendy, a young nurse who came to the clinic to work the night shift.
The latter's cheeks turned red when she saw Mason. She stepped forward to say hello but saw Mason waving to her and saying:
"Go home quickly, little girl. Doctor Leslie just said that there are special circumstances tonight and you are not allowed to work overtime."
"ah?"
The little nurse's eyes widened and she asked in a low voice:
"What happened?"
"Well, I guess there might be a shootout or something like that happening nearby tonight. After all, there's never been a lot of this kind of thing in Gotham."
Mason showed a gentle smile, thought for a moment, and said:
"I have to thank you for helping me during this time, Wendy, so I decided to give you a gift. It's already hidden in your car. Go get it."
Hearing this, the little nurse's face turned redder.
She thought this was because her feelings were finally realized by the sunny and handsome little brother Mason. When the clouds cleared and the moon came out, she hurried back to her car with anticipation.
There was a brochure on the driver's seat.
It was the "Midnight Doctor's First Aid Manual" that Mason bought in the trading yard of the Club of Stars, as well as a farewell letter.
Wendy, who was sitting in the car, burst into tears after reading the letter.
The poor good girl's relationship ended in vain, and there was another sad person in this chaotic city tonight.
Ah, damn the evil alchemist Mason who is planning to beat up the Justice League, rescue his friends, and then fly away, is such a sinful guy.
——
"Hi, Mason! You will never guess what I saw just now! There was a very cute and gentle nurse sitting in a car crying on the side of the road at the back corner.
She said that she was abandoned by the bastard she had a crush on.
What a hateful guy, don't let me catch him or I will give him a few beatings.
She was really bold to park alone near here. She was almost harassed. I treated her to ice cream and taught a lesson to the hooligans who tried to harass her to make her feel better.
Her name is Wendy!
We also exchanged contact information. Hey! Why are you packing? Are you going on vacation?"
More than 20 minutes later, in Mason's shop, the new "masked vigilante" and Cooper's shop clerk Harley Quinn, who was excitedly "returning from patrolling the territory" outside with a bloody baseball bat, saw Mason packing and knew something was going on.
Afterwards, she heard the news that Mason was leaving when she asked.
But unlike the sad little nurse Wendy, Mason's "patient" behaved quite calmly.
Some even cheered and jumped for joy.
"Huh? You finally made up your mind to leave this awful city. Okay, when are we leaving? Do you need me to pack a few more clothes? Do you need to bring beach pants and bikinis?
Can we go to a place with a beach?"
She threw away the baseball bat in her hand and ran to the closet on the second floor to start looking through her messy clothes, with an expression of "I go wherever Mason goes".
This attitude of relying on "Mr. K" gave Mason a headache.
He persuaded:
"You can't go where you want to go, Harley, just stay here, Ivy may be back in a few days, you don't want your best friend to stay alone in Gotham, right?"
"But my illness hasn't been cured yet!"
Harley's increasingly sharp voice came from the second floor, and she said with anger:
"How can you be so irresponsible as a doctor? You promised to cure me!"
"Ivy can make the medicines you need to take for a long time, you don't need me anymore."
Mason just started talking, and a gunshot rang from the second floor.
The flying kinetic bullet hit the ground, brushing Mason's feet. The bricks and stones splattered and bounced twice, breaking a bottle of aromatic potion on the shelf, filling the small shop with fragrance.
"So you want to abandon me?"
Harley Quinn, wielding a pink girlish kinetic revolver, stood at the second floor. She pointed the muzzle of the gun at her chin and cried:
"Mr. J abandoned me, and now Mr. K wants to drive me away. It must be my fault! I don't need to live anymore as a failure.
Goodbye, Mr. K.
Goodbye, this terrible world."
"Don't make trouble, little drama queen, there is only one bullet in the gun, I just checked it."
Mason covered his head and said:
"Okay, okay, I will take you to that New place, I can arrange for you and Ivy to continue to partner and give you a new job, but Harley, this is your own choice, don't complain to me if you encounter any danger later. "
"No! You haven't said the most important thing yet!"
Harley Quinn dropped a weird stuffed bear stuffed with bombs on the second floor, and she screamed:
"You have to promise!"
"Okay, I promise, I will continue to be your attending physician."
Mason was even more tired, raised his wrist to check the time, and the "in position" signals came out one after another from the communicator beside his ear, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
He raised his head and waved to Harley, who smiled widely and began to hum a song and continued to pack clothes, and said:
"Let's go downstairs to have a meal now. I'm too lazy to cook for myself tonight, so let's go out to eat. After all, you have to be full before you can go on the road."
"Yeah! First date with Mr. K."
Harley cheered when she heard that Mason was going to take her out for dinner, and the clothes in her hands were thrown everywhere.
"This is not a date. Forget it. Do whatever you like."
Mason wanted to explain, but when he saw Harley grabbing the pistol without bullets again, he waved his hand and gave up the intention of explaining and correcting.
The two went out and rode their beloved scooters through the streets and alleys. They got off at a famous restaurant nearby and ordered a full table of dishes.
Harley, who was in a good mood, couldn't keep her mouth idle while eating. Her unique sharp voice was indeed a bit noisy at first, but once you get used to it, you will feel that it has a different and strange feeling.
Especially, she always grins and can easily infect the mood of people around her.
She described the fun things she encountered to Mason, and Mason nodded repeatedly while eating, just to relieve boredom and relieve the pressure of the upcoming war.
Ten minutes later, Mason, who had just rejected the cherry cake that Harley had sent to his mouth, suddenly put down his knife and fork, frowned, picked up his flip phone that was constantly vibrating in his pocket, and looked at the number.
Wow!
This is the first time I have seen a 23-digit number in my life. What kind of cross-world communication black technology is this? He didn't remember leaking his number to such a powerful person.
Alas, the leak of this phone number will lead to telecom fraud and other crappy things that are really hard to guard against.
Can't people just have a happy farewell dinner with a crazy but pleasing beautiful girl quietly?
"Hello?"
He put the phone to his ear and said:
"Who is it?"
"Mason, the 'guests' you invited will enter your world in about ten minutes, and I will send them near your shop in Crime Alley."
Xili knocked on the table, picked up the application information in front of her, and read in a straight and clear voice:
“Their team configuration is 2 senior B-level members leading 14 B-level personnel and 32 C-level personnel, all of whom are high-level spellcasters certified by the Star Castle Adventure Union.
If you include all kinds of weird props in their hands, then this is already the weight of an advance team that can explore the A-level world head-on and establish a "safe zone" in it.
I hope you are prepared for this.
Of course, I have also prepared their accidental death report. You'd better give me a reasonable reason to spend less time on this fooling people.
Finally, I just read the battle summary sent back to me by the Draman program. Instead of killing Colypso, you recruited her into your team.
What a bold act.
But I still have to confirm, have you got Colypso's divinity? "
"Well, it's in my hands, being studied by my companions."
As Mason spoke, he smiled at Harley, who was dressed very ladylike across the table. Harley, who was peeking at Mason's phone call, quickly wiped her mouth and responded with a sweet and perfect smile.
He lowered his head and said to the other end of the phone:
"But it seems that your superiors haven't told you what happened there yet. To avoid making a fuss to you, Ciri, I have to tell you in advance that we killed all the invading mad dogs there and also took down a conqueror."
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
After a while, hunter Xili sighed and said:
"Every time I think I have reached the limit of Team K, you will show me your capabilities with a bolt from the blue. Well, it seems I have to raise my expectations for you again.
However, it is not a problem for Team K to keep such a low profile. Even if you keep causing unplanned things, even if someone helps you cover it up, sooner or later someone will find out about it.
How about this, after you hand in your divinity, I will arrange for you to enter the B-level promotion mission? In this way, you can be promoted in a legitimate way. "
"B-level promotion mission"
A flash of lightning flashed across Mason's heart, then he narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, and said:
"Absolutely! But it's up to me to choose the time, okay? Also, do you remember my last proposal? If your superior asks you to do something again, remember to discuss it with me in advance.
At least in the current situation where we both trust each other, it would be a good thing to provide you with another way of thinking, right? "
"Let's talk about this later."
Mr. Hunter obviously avoided this topic.
But she did not reject Mason’s proposal, but reminded:
"I won't ask you again who gave you the transfer door in your hand, Mason, but be careful when coming into contact with those people, you are 'unique' and you may not realize it yet.
Maybe that's why they reached out to you.
If you have any trouble recently, please call me.
But it's best not to get into trouble. "
"Copy that, my superior. Thank you for your concern. I'll contact you later."
Mason set his watch for a 10-minute countdown, then reached out to the waiter in the restaurant to pay the bill, and at the same time whispered to the other side of the phone:
“Please also take care of yourself during this precarious time.”
Ps:
The busy New Year has finally come to an end, and with all the exhaustion, it’s time to devote myself to the endless coding business. I always feel like I’m even busier during the New Year than at ordinary times.
Say something happy.
This month's monthly ticket sales have successfully exceeded 20,000 chapters, and 10 more chapters will be added next month. Counting the additions of the three brothers "starsfalling", "Die Jia丨Guo" and "Huo Zheng is very good", the number of chapters will be 2 during the Lantern Festival. The extra update on the 5th of the month should be 25+3.
This number always feels so scary
Anyway, there are still six days left, so stay tuned.
