Chapter 515 61 Congratulations on Submitting a Good Answer Sheet, but the Final Assessment Is Still Ahead

Chapter 515 61. Congratulations on handing in a good answer sheet, but the final assessment is still ahead.

"If I had met such a generous boss earlier, maybe I would have sold myself without any resistance. After all, in today's highly competitive workplace, bosses as generous as you are really rare."

In the conference hall, Mason looked at the blank contract floating in front of him and the pen that was handed to him.

He didn't hesitate for a second, shook his head and said:

"But unfortunately you are late. I have already sold myself to my ideals and future, and at a pretty good price, so I can only say sorry to you."

"No, young man, you have to think carefully about this important matter in your life. It's always good to have one more choice."

Mephisto shook his head to dissuade:

"Don't be too impulsive and indulge in the beauty of the future. You have to move forward down-to-earth. Every decision you make at this age is very important to your life. If you make the wrong step, it will be ruined.

Believe me, this is the life experience of a lonely old devil. Although it is only for reference, I really don’t want to see such an outstanding young man go astray.

Look, after all, there is no conflict between your and my goals. We are all trying to find a light leading to the future in this dark age.

Did Strange tell you what I was planning? "

"He said it."

Mason stepped back, pulled out his chair, sat on it and lit another cigarette.

Although standing in front of him was the big boss of the evil organization that he wanted to overthrow, Mason found that he didn't feel too nervous.

It comes from the past and experiences that shape character, just like a captain who has seen rough seas and clashed with hurricanes will no longer be afraid of the oncoming seal waves.

Although he is young, he already has the capital to chat and laugh with a guy who is capable of being the villain in any story.

He blew out a smoke ring and said to Mephisto standing in front of him:

"Before the warlock died, he tried to help you win over a more powerful character, so he revealed the contents of his contract with you and your plan.

And that magical ‘Mephisto Network’.

Forgive me for asking, does that divine network still exist? "

"certainly."

The old devil pointed to the sky, leaned on the table and chair next to him like a kind elder talking to young people, played with the cane in his hand, and said humorously:

"All the Mephistos are in a quarrel among them, and there is nothing that can be used to promote unity except that everyone agrees on the concept of 'transcendence'.

They argued about everything from plans for the future to today's lunches and greeted each other's mothers, expressing their desperate desire to have an intimate relationship with each other's direct female relatives.

Until I came into contact with my other self, I never realized how annoying I was, nor how rude and nasty a devil I was.

Alas, you are perfect in your own eyes, but only the self in the eyes of others is real.

It's really a pity.

You don't have to worry about that, little Mason. "

The old devil paused, looked at Mason, as if looking at a rare treasure, and said:

"You don't have a space-time alien body, so you naturally don't have to worry about dealing with yourself, and you no longer need to play tricks on yourself, although this will also take away a lot of fun.

But overall the pros outweigh the cons. "

"But I created twelve water avatars for myself, each with a complete mind and unique personality."

Mason sighed and said:

"I made up for this shortcoming myself. To be honest, I really regret making this decision at that time, especially when I have to be criticized by those guys every time we meet.

Although everyone's current situation is different, I can really understand your troubles. It's really tiring to compete with yourself. "

"Hahaha, what an interesting young man. If I were tens of thousands of years younger, we would definitely become good friends."

Mephisto laughed, then his face turned serious.

He looked at Mason and asked seriously:

"How on earth did you do that?"

"Ah? Water body?"

Mason pretended to be stupid and said:

"Of course it comes from superpowers. The superpowers of mutants are enough to replicate bodies of water, and then they are given the greatest freedom within the scope of their powers to separate and reorganize the different characteristics of their personalities.

It's not difficult.

Especially for a devil like you. "

"You know that's not what I asked."

Mephisto reminded, and Mason responded with a smile:

"You should also know that it is not polite to ask about such a personal matter for the first time?"

The two fell silent at the same time.

After a few seconds, the old devil shook his head and said:

"What a difficult boy to deal with, he reminds me of those old friends from my past.

We also had the same confrontation in the Twilight Parliament. Everyone was a hell monarch sitting on one side and did not dare to start a war at will, so we could only try to gain some advantage in the discourse level.

But there is still a difference between the good memories back then and now.

Okay, stop wasting your time bickering, Mason Cooper, I don't know how you got around the Soul Curse, but you have that tattoo.

you are mine!

There is no doubt about this.

Now the humiliating defeat you brought to the Stars Club has become a hot topic in the Hope Council these days. Guys I have never seen before, and guys I care about or don't care about are all discussing this matter.

Although I haven't fully woken up yet, I can already guess how much ridicule and strange looks I will get the next time I enter that time-wasting venue.

Compared with the damage to my own reputation, the crisis encountered by the stars is the most important trouble.

Ciri and Liana are the hands I chose for the Stars Association, but they need the command of a brain to be effective. If you destroy that reasonably useful brain, you must take their place. "

The old devil shook his fingers and said:

"I don't care how you integrate the Stars Association after you take power, disband it, or regroup, it's all up to you. My only request is that other forces cannot get involved in it openly.

I'll just say it!

I can't trust those guys who have Machiavellian ideas in their heads. Politics has damaged their brains and will only make things messy for those imbeciles.

The Meeting of the Stars itself is actually not important, but it is very important to complete our plans and goals.

do you understand what I mean? "

"certainly."

Mason nodded and said:

“Transcendence is imminent, and you are about to break away from the shackles of the destiny of the universe so that you can become a truly free being. Whether it is from a personal level or from a larger perspective, now is the most important stage in your long life.

If I were you, I wouldn't want things to change at this time.

But here comes the problem. "

He leaned forward and blew out a smoke ring. He looked at the old devil in the smoke, grinned at the corner of his mouth, and said:

"What reason do I have to help you fulfill your wish? Do I have to do that? Do I owe you money, or did I steal your rice? I don't owe you anything, Lord Mephisto.

So please.

Don't talk to me in such a daddy way!

You are not qualified to order me to do this or that. I am not Strange who will be bewitched by you, and those bad things done under your instruction will always have retribution that will hit you on the head one day.

I'd love to do this myself. "

"So there's nothing to talk about?"

The hypocritical expression on Mephisto's face was a bit unbearable.

After all, the lonely old devil is also a person of status. It has been a long, long time since anyone dared to confront him in this way.

He stared at Mason and said:

"You know I have many ways to control you, such as Ciri, Harley, and your teammates. They are not as magical as you and can ignore my power."

"They are my people!"

Mason looked up and stared into Mephisto's eyes without fear, and said:

"If you dare to touch them, we will kill them right now. You haven't woken up yet, Mr. Devil, and three extraordinary strong men have entered your lair.

I mean, as long as there's a one in 10,000 chance that we get lucky, things don't look so good, right?

As far as I know, you are not a risk-taker.

And how can an elegant devil act with the same brute force as a rough devil? Your character is such that when challenges arise, you will always act with twists and turns of tricks and intrigues.

That is instinctive and cannot be overcome. "

"Are you sure you can find my bedroom in the endless hell?"

Mephisto scoffed.

Then he saw Mason flicking his finger to light a devil's fire. That was his power, and it was burning in front of his eyes, but the old devil couldn't control the flame to go out.

That was a power that was taken away from Mason when he joined the Order of the Stars.

"I've never been to hell."

Mason looked at the flames on his fingers and said to Mephisto:

“But I have some ‘friends’ there, and Johnny hasn’t informed you yet that he found himself an ‘apprentice’?

Although I am still in the internship period, I think if I expressed that I wanted to go to my future workplace to take a look and get familiar with the environment, I guess my knight mentor would not refuse.

Or do you still have undue confidence in the loyalty of the Ghost Riders you recruited through various despicable methods?

Do you think they'll miss this opportunity to backstab you? "

"ha!"

The smile on the old devil's face became more and more distorted. He stared at the flames at Mason's fingertips and said:

"You were prepared! You guessed that I would visit you at some point and threaten you, so you made a plan in advance and it came in handy as planned.

Is this your countermeasure? "

"What else?"

Mason rolled his eyes and said:

"Otherwise, why would I serve those three uncles conscientiously? On your territory, you will certainly not lose, but once the real friction begins, your most precious time will be wasted.

We rootless trees can afford it, how about you? "

"That makes sense! I'm convinced by you."

The old devil nodded.

He stood up and straightened his clothes in a serious manner, burned the blank contract in front of Mason's eyes and put his pen back in his breast pocket.

He said to Mason:

"Then let's stop here this time. Say hello to you and meet this young talent. I'm very satisfied. If you were a devil, I would have established you as my successor on the spot.

But what you said just now is quite right.

time!

Time is a precious thing, for everyone.

Ignorant people think that there is a punishment for every sin in hell. However, they do not know that wasting time is the most terrible sin. I have specially arranged a small compartment in my hell for those who cannot use their time properly. .

Of course, this is not a threat. "

The old devil bent down and stared into Mason's eyes. He showed a meaningful smile, reached out and patted Mason on the shoulder, and said:

"This is a reminder. The fourth impact is coming soon. It will come much faster than you think. To be precise, it should be thirty days later.

My dear Mason, you seem to have a strange contract with some strange guys. It is a contract that stakes your ideals and hopes, and it is limited to the fourth impact.

You see, I just advised you to be cautious when making major decisions in life, and to avoid falling into this life-or-death dilemma.

I don't need to spend more time dealing with you personally, because you have bigger troubles in front of you than challenging me.

If you can survive."

Mephisto paused, straightened Mason's collar, patted his collar again, and said with emphasis:

"Let's play a single game then. Now it's time for you to enjoy your celebration banquet. Your friends are waiting for you. Your little cutie has prepared a surprise for you.

Oh, by the way, remember to comfort Ciri after having fun with her.

Her mind is in a mess now, and she has no sense as a great master should. All she thinks and sees are things related to you. Gee, little Mason, you are such a sinful man. "

After saying that, the old devil stood up straight and seemed to be planning to turn around and leave but found it too troublesome, so he turned to Mason and said:

"Give me a ride. I'm too lazy to dissipate this projection and regain my consciousness. You see, if you want to confront each other, there must be some sense of ritual, right? Like a bullet or something?"

"Of course, Lord Mephisto, I'm happy to do that."

Mason stood up and drew out the Black Death Sword Ragnarok pistol, aiming at the old devil in front of him who was smiling and extending his hand to say goodbye.

Pulling the trigger, the bullet flew out and shattered his skull.

In the scattered light of the astral projection, the projection disappeared before Mason's eyes like a sand castle collapsing, and the conference room became quiet again.

"Successfully completed a supernatural high-level life, long-range headshot, and execution, and the proficiency of shooting skills has been improved. It is currently Lv7."

Tips for improving his skills flashed before Mason's eyes, but he was no longer in the mood to look.

"Don't let that sneaky guy sway you, Mason!"

The hat immediately reminded:

"Maybe it's just a psychological tactic, just to make you chaotic. These hell creatures are very good at using these little tricks."

"But you can't pretend you didn't hear it!"

The projection of Consus also appeared next to Mason, and the Isu biologist reminded:

"Especially regarding the clues about the fourth impact, there has been enough evidence to prove that the speed of impact events is accelerating. Our original expectation that it might take a year or half a year was too optimistic.

Now only more than two months have passed since the third impact."

"This shows that the speed of the cosmic tremors is accelerating, and it cannot hold on any longer."

Mason sat back in his chair, put the gun aside, rubbed his forehead and whispered:

“It is almost exactly the same as the prediction of the Supreme Beast. This is a bad sign. The subsequent impacts will be more frequent until the last one brings the end of all things and the restart of a new era.

This is the fourth time.

According to the current rules and the number of existing parallel worlds and simple calculations, at most, everything will return to nothingness by the seventh impact.

He is right.

We don't have much time, I must get back to my laboratory immediately, I must immediately"

"But your teammates are waiting for you, Mason!"

Hat said with emphasis:

"They have a right to know this information."

"Yes, my brother, you can't take it all on your shoulders anymore."

Consus also advised:

"You should stay with your partners. The more serious and critical the moment, the more support and united efforts are needed from them.

You can't fix this on your own. "

"Well, okay, it's up to you."

Mason sighed, stood up, stretched his neck, and said:

"Let's go to the celebration banquet. Don't keep them waiting."
