Chapter 516 62 You Have to Admit that Setting a Fire Is Also an Effective Way to Put Out a Fire
Chapter 516 62. You have to admit that setting a fire is also one of the effective ways to put out a fire.
The Afterlife Bar is closed tonight, but it is still very lively inside.
This was a celebration banquet held to celebrate victory. Xiao Shen even made several time teleportations to send everyone who wanted to attend the banquet.
When Mason walked into the bar and banquet hall, he saw the bold Ms. Ka standing on the table with Mr. Tuo, the king of the party, drinking heavily, surrounded by a large group of idlers.
They seemed to be competing to see who had the better drinking capacity, as both of them had piles of various wine bottles at their feet.
Oh, this is a mixture of white and red. It's really a good drinker.
Spartans and Asgardians really know how to enjoy themselves. They are very talented in this aspect. These two guys have already set up the atmosphere of the entire banquet. Around them, there are small tables opened to enjoy booze. Others at that time asked the young master to bring his fiancée as well.
The Asgardian Valkyrie had already drunk down a bunch of ladies, and Harley, who was blushing, was inciting her best friend to have a strong showdown with Ms. Sif.
Well, a "vegetative" person like Ivy shouldn't be drunk, right?
Mason glanced around and quickly discovered that Zha Kang was shaking his body and helping the drunk Xiao Zha to the box. The handsome man looked secretly delighted and was accompanied by his "little pet" vampire Count Emilia.
Use your heels to figure out what this guy is going to do.
But that is someone's own emotional life, and it's not easy for Mason to get involved.
He said hello to the acquaintances and went up to sit at the table where Agents of SHIELD were sitting. He happened to see Hawkeye hugging Agent Natasha and whistling nonsense, and sitting opposite him was the younger version of Agent Natasha. Winter Hawkeye and Natasha.
Well, this wave can be regarded as young people versus old people, and the glorious achievements of drinking by themselves are illuminated.
"Where's Fury?"
Mason didn't mention the Fourth Impact at all. He just asked Agent Hill, who was holding a wine glass next to him:
"Isn't he going to come and share the joy? Or is he hiding in a dark room and continuing to plot his little shady plots?"
"He does want to come."
Agent Hill snorted and said:
"But let me relax. Who will watch the child? And the previous assassination of clones in the war made Fury realize that your warning was by no means false. He himself was frightened and decided not to leave hiding unless necessary. "
"That means he is somewhat self-aware."
Mason took a glass of champagne from the tray of the android waiter who brought the drinks next to him and said to Agent Hill:
"I really want to remind him of this. It seems that I don't need to say more words now. However, Agent Baoma should drink less. If something happens tonight, the braised eggs will probably be pinched. Kill me."
He pushed a glass of juice to Agent Hill next to him, who snorted, put his hand on Mason's shoulder, and whispered:
"What? Your Excellency, Captain, are you lonely and planning to do something bad? I've heard before that you have an abnormal attachment to older ladies. Are you planning to develop a sibling relationship with me?
Sorry, Mason.
I don't like little fresh meat like you very much, but if I'm drunk enough
How about buying me a drink? "
This joke from a married woman left Mason speechless. He could only stand up and leave, and fled with malicious laughter from Agent Hill and the members of the "Sister Team" next to him.
I can't stand it.
These mature aunties are all crazy.
"Sweetheart, where are you going?"
Harley, whose cheeks were red from drinking, screamed and rushed from behind Mason, lying on his back like a monkey, exhaling like a blue breath and saying to him:
"I'm a little drunk. Let's go to your office."
"Did you prepare any 'surprise' for me there?"
Mason asked with a straight face, and Harley widened her eyes and said:
"how do you know?"
"A nasty guy just told me that."
The captain remembered Mephisto's words again, which made him snort. He felt a little irritated due to the renewed pressure in his heart, and walked into the elevator holding Harley's slender waist.
When the elevator opened on the fifth floor, Harley, who had finished the French kiss, was already soft and turned into a ball of mud.
Breathing heavily, she pulled Mason into the office and locked the door with a bang. Quinn, who had been waiting inside, also stood up from Mason's office chair.
She was still a little weak, and the previous experience of being crushed to death by Dr. Destiny made this sub-personality's face look abnormally pale, but the way she was dressed at this time made Mason feel that his throat was dry.
"etc!"
When the evil twins rushed to do something bad to Mason, he stopped them. Then the inspection ax was taken out of the bag and played in Mason's hand.
Not to add interest, but to cover up those prying eyes, Master Mason had no intention of performing any drama in front of other people's gaze.
Sound waves that can affect the frequency of the universe are emitted, disrupting all peeks at Mason, which makes Lord Mephisto very disappointed.
It was as if a piece of cloth had been covered in front of his eyes, and he lost track of the young man, and even his gaze on Harley and Quinn was disrupted.
"Oh, young people nowadays are really resourceful. When I was young, I didn't have so many twists and turns."
The lonely old devil, who was still wearing the classic evil attire, sighed. He sat on a chair, picked up the wine glass that was filled to one third, and said to the person sitting opposite him:
"And that fiery love, romance, hey, if I think about it carefully, I can think of my lovers who have disappeared in time, and their endings were not very good.
After all, it's never a good thing to be associated with the devil.
But there are always a steady stream of people coming to my door. The hell contract in my hand is not enough, and sometimes I laugh at the madness of those guys.
It's really terrible that you would rather deal with the devil for various purposes, don't you think? Mr. Furry. "
"You think you mean something, are you mocking me for being a fool too?"
Old A, who was across the table from Mephisto, also held a wine glass in his hand and said in a bad tone that he and the old devil were the only ones in this office that belonged to him.
The broken head of Brainiac placed on the edge of the desk quickly attracted Mephisto's attention. The old devil stretched out his fingers to touch it, as if feeling the feeling of the conqueror of the universe when he left. Pain and despair.
After a few seconds, he said:
"No wonder that little guy is not afraid of me. I also said that why he is so courageous is because he has executed existences of our level before.
Everything is difficult the first time, but once you get used to it, it won't be difficult anymore.
He is a young and confident hunter. He bared his fangs at me hungrily and greedily, and challenged me. Ah, frankly speaking, I am no longer confident this time.
But Sir Fury, or I should call you Old A.
You see, your subordinate Mason has delivered what you desire to you. Through Ms. Q, you will be able to control the Star Club. I have no intention of interfering with this process. However, the forces behind the Swordsman may not allow you to complete yourself so easily. The goal.
I'm curious, how are you going to deal with your colleagues who are trying to snatch meat from your mouth? "
"I have my plan, so I don't need to worry about it, Lord Fate."
Old A held the wine glass and stared at Mephisto in front of him. He said:
"But is what you just said true? You will not interfere with my control of the Stars Association? Do you know the consequences? Now that the Council of Arbitration Tribunal is in my hands, once I control the Stars Association, in a very short time I can twist the Council of Hope into a tightrope.
Is this what you want to see? "
"I have never interfered with you using the Council of Stars as a bargaining chip in political struggles, have I? I am very open-minded in this regard."
The lonely old devil leaned back on his chair, put a sip of wine into his mouth, and said:
"As long as you don't interfere with my affairs, I won't interfere with your ideals and twisted desire for power and control, you know? Fury.
In my opinion, you are a troubled guy. You are always trying to master things that you cannot control. This is your fatal weakness, but it is precisely because of this that you are full of fighting spirit and full of execution ability.
I love potential collaborators like this.
But now is not the time for me to place my bets.
Wait until the fourth impact is over. If Mason can't come up with something eye-catching, he will be suppressed or destroyed by you yourself.
That's not my trouble, I just want to remind you from the perspective of a bystander that your control of Q has failed, and she has already sided with Mason.
Not just as a collaborator!
But that's not a bad thing.
Love, beautiful love can always add a bit of weakness and imperfection to an indestructible thing. It is precisely because it is so deadly that it appears so beautiful. "
"Thank you for the reminder, Lord Destiny. I will resolve this matter properly."
Old A is still expressionless.
But judging from his posture, he is still full of confidence.
"Okay, okay, you always have various ways to achieve your goals. The lonely old devil shouldn't talk too much about something you are good at, so as not to annoy others."
Mephisto finished the wine in his hand, put the glass on the table, stood up, put a business card in front of Fury's eyes, and said:
"Then, I wish you all the best in your agreement duel with Old K. But if there is some small accident, you don't have to be confused. You know who to call at that time.
I will look forward to the day when you contact me.
That's it, have a nice day. "
——
"Shua"
The door to the world was pushed open, and the rotating light curtain in front of him opened the door to the Star Castle. Mason, who had arranged his clothes, looked back and looked behind him. Harley and Quinn were already hugging each other on the sofa in the exhaustion after pleasure. fell asleep on the bed.
The evil twins were restless even when they were asleep. One was grabbing the other's hair, and the other was grinding his teeth with the latter's fingers. It was really hard to understand their strange relationship.
He covered his girlfriends with blankets and then stepped into the light curtain.
The next moment, he appeared in the top corridor of Star Castle, and the noise outside could be heard from here.
There seems to be some kind of celebration ceremony being held here. Looking down from the corridor window, you can still see some pioneers having a bonfire party in the square outside the Star Castle. The atmosphere is no less enthusiastic than that of the Afterlife Bar.
"Warlock, Warlock, you really should reflect on your popularity. Why does your death bring so much happiness to everyone?
It seems that unpopular people can also be popular, just when they exit. "
He grinned, turned around and opened the door of the office behind him, and then saw Shirley who was busy at her desk. She seemed to be reviewing documents, just as busy as before.
But at this moment tonight, she has to work overtime here, and she looks very pitiful when she is alone.
"Why don't you go to the bar?"
Mason asked:
"Liana keeps looking for you, and V also said that he must have a drink with you. Is your relationship so good now?"
"I have to be busy."
Shirley said without raising her head:
"You all went to enjoy the victory, but someone has to do the work, right? Just now, the candidate for the new Logistics Grand Instructor was confirmed. Lord Destiny appointed the old wizard Shazan as the new Grand Instructor, and instructed the three instructors to reorganize Class A system.
As before, there is only one command, which does not interfere with specific operations.
But I guess its first choice is definitely not Shazam but you? "
"Well, it just met with me. Although it hasn't fully woken up yet, it can indeed move freely."
Mason stepped forward, and Ciri handed him a document containing the coordinates of the world containing the existence of the Speed Force, but Mason frowned after taking one look at it.
He said:
"There is something wrong with these values. The accuracy of the coordinates is wrong. It should be that you have reversed the space-time quadrant. If you jump in according to these coordinates, you may be sent into a black hole."
"ah?"
Shirley raised her head, took the document that Mason returned and glanced at it, then sighed and said:
"Okay, I will modify it immediately. Just wait and I will hand it over to you later."
After saying that, she got up and got busy in front of a facility with a miniature armillary sphere next to her desk. However, under Mason's gaze, Master Hunter made frequent mistakes and was completely unlike the posture a great mentor should have. The cool and unrestrained temperament before.
"Can you tell me what's wrong with you?"
Mason asked:
"Is this bad condition related to me?"
"Not without!"
Ciri immediately retorted, her voice loud enough to startle Mason, as if she was not rebutting Mason's inquiry but declaring something to herself.
This time it became embarrassing, and this kind of reaction was tantamount to self-inflicted trouble.
She covered her face and turned her back to Mason. For a moment, she was so embarrassed that she could dig out a new Star Castle on the floor with her toes. This scene also made the captain sigh.
He hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said to Shiri:
"About that night."
"That was a mistake!"
Shirley said hoarsely:
"Don't think too much!
I just drank too much coffee and got to my head. I have no other relationship with you before. The situation we are facing now is not optimistic. We must get serious and eliminate other distractions. We must complete it! "
Before she could finish her words, a pair of arms hugged her from behind, pausing all her words.
Mason put his chin on Ciri's shoulder. He could feel Ciri's entire body tense up, as if he was in a fighting position ready to fight back.
But he did not retreat, but said to her with a tiredness that could not be shown in front of others:
"The Fourth Impact is coming, just one month later, Mephisto told me personally. Ciri, you are right, we must be serious and not be distracted by other things.
But your current state is obviously abnormal, which will put us into unnecessary risks, so tell me, is it related to me? "
"I can't say."
Lord Hunter bit her lip and she said:
"I can't be shameless, Hallie won't accept that, she gave everything to you and if you do something incorrect it will break her heart and kill her."
"how about you?"
Mason said hoarsely:
"You knew you shouldn't do it but you did it anyway. Listen to me, Shirley, I don't hate you. In fact, I always feel at ease when I'm by your side. Our relationship can't get any closer, and I don't want to betray you either." Li's thing.
But I need you to calm down.
I need the former hunter to come back and help me.
This isn’t just about me, it’s about you and Hallie and everyone else.”
He turned the stiff Ciri around, looked into her eyes, and said:
"I won't let you die, I promise! After everything is over, I will find a way. Now, we have to unite."
"I also want to calm down, so..."
The Lord Hunter stood up on his tiptoes and bit Mason's lip hard. The captain responded adequately, as if the unfinished business of that night was continuing in the office.
The strings in their hearts were tense, and they stopped before the last step.
She whispered in Mason's ear tremblingly:
"Just hold me like this, that's enough. Give me a little more time to adjust my mood. Mason, do you think I'm a bad person?"
"Of course you are."
Mason felt Ciri trembling in his arms, and he said softly:
"Will the Grand Instructor of the Association of Stars and the guy who is about to become an A-class member be good people? But I guess we are not so bad that there is no cure."
