Chapter 102 54 Sharing a Secret with You Is a Sign of Goodwill [3750]
Chapter 102 54. Sharing secrets with you is a sign of kindness - [3750]
Mason was sent to Dr. Leslie's clinic. His arrival startled the doctor on night duty.
Mainly because the wounds of all sizes on Mason's body looked too creepy, and the blood on his clothes made him look like he had rolled in the grinding wheel of a sword.
But in fact, those injuries were all superficial.
Except for a little blood loss and weakness, Mason was not seriously injured.
But for the sake of his employees' health, the cold-faced doctor still asked Mason to observe in the clinic for one night.
He was arranged in the ward where he stayed last time. Even though it was raining heavily, Batman had to go out for night patrol, so Mason was soon the only one left in the ward.
It was fine for the first few hours, but in the second half of the night, Mason began to feel very uncomfortable in his stomach, and soon developed symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea.
But he did not disturb Dr. Leslie.
He knew what was going on.
"Damn rejection reaction"
Mason stayed in the bathroom, vomiting several times in a row, making his face reflected in the mirror look pale.
In order to end the battle with Jason Todd as soon as possible in Crime Alley, he used the tube of "Cleanser" Corps Enhancer found in the principal's office of Hogwarts Academy.
The label of that thing stated that it would produce various negative reactions after injection.
The young man was just glad that he did not get the worst negative effect after experiencing the feeling of "weakened Wolverine".
As an alchemist, he had a very accurate grasp of his physical condition.
The current vomiting and diarrhea were just the process of the body excreting those harmful substances. With the unicorn blood he drank last night in Arkham Asylum, he would be able to recover in a few hours at most.
He definitely couldn't sleep now.
So Mason sat on the toilet and took out the enhancer that he had injected once before with the light of the bathroom.
He looked at the exquisite integrated syringe in his hand, and recalled the scene of his "second transformation" in Crime Alley just now, bloodbathing the Scarlet Knight.
After injecting this enhancer, he almost immediately gained all the abilities of Wolverine Logan.
Jason's two magic knives pierced his heart several times but did not cause any damage. The heart healed itself the moment the sharp blades left his body.
And the sharp bone claws that popped out of his fists felt like weapons connected to his flesh and blood. Every swing could cause terrible damage to Jason.
The most powerful thing was the "beast instinct" he was given while the enhancer was in effect.
The combat instinct that could sense the enemy's malice and attack methods at any time in a fierce battle and make corresponding adjustments made Mason feel like he had turned into a killing machine.
Every time Jason swung his knife, he knew where the knife was going to cut. Every time the two barrels avoided him, he would instinctively attack the weakest part of his defense. As his own blood and the enemy's blood flowed out, this beast instinct could also enter a violent state similar to "blood rage".
Apart from temporarily losing sanity, this thing has no weaknesses.
But even losing sanity can make people with beast instincts more dangerous, just like a wounded lone wolf.
"If this side effect can be reduced."
Mason stared at the enhancer in his hand, which had been used for [2/3]. He became more and more interested in this alchemical compound that could change the battle situation in a short period of time.
This thing is marked as being able to try to analyze the basic enhancement blueprint after Lv4 alchemy. Now Mason just meets this condition and he has tried it himself.
This allows him to master some basic formulas after recovering from the enhanced state.
"This thing is for the commander, and its adverse reactions should have been suppressed to the point where it is harmless to the human body. But since there is a model used by the commander, there must be medicine for ordinary soldiers and cannon fodder.
And this 'Cleanser Corps'."
Mason tried to disassemble the syringe in his hand. With his current engineering attainments, it was not difficult to do this. While disassembling, he thought:
"It is now certain that this Corps destroyed various important areas in the Hogwarts world, but if the zombie virus is spread by the stars, it means that there must be cooperation between the two organizations.
Maybe the Stars Society messed up the world first, and then the Cleaners came in to clear it. It is not difficult to find from Mr. Potter's diary that some of these Cleaners have powerful individuals.
The Ministry of Magic in Britain was even uprooted and destroyed by one person.
But some of them need to use this enhancer to gain the combat power against the elite Aurors. The gap between the physical strength is really big.
The young man complained:
"It's just like mixing Tyrannosaurus Rex and Paramecium together. Hmm? Wait, maybe it's true!"
An inspiration flashed through Mason's mind.
He thought about it and thought in his heart:
"The members of the Stars Society come from various parallel worlds, and the members of the pioneering team are also selected from the outstanding people in each world. If the composition of this Cleaner Corps is the same as that of the Stars Society, then maybe they are also fighters from multiple worlds every time they go out.
Just like what Mr. Sandstorm said about the ‘vassal world of the Star Society’. Isn’t it normal for such a large organization to control a legion that can be enslaved and driven?
Just like Darkseid and his new gods are so powerful, but they also need a lot of cannon fodder demons to help them destroy the world.
So this time the Justice League failed to stop the Assassin League’s actions at the last minute, allowing the source zombie virus that was judged to be ‘extremely dangerous’ to spread, perhaps this world will also become a wasteland like the end of the world. ”
“Click”
The light sound in his hand interrupted Mason’s thoughts about the Star Society and the Cleaners. The exquisite integrated syringe had been disassembled.
The small bottle containing the enhancer liquid was revealed, and the content was two-thirds left.
“This much is enough for me to deduce the complete formula. "
Mason put the small bottle filled with pure liquid in front of him and examined it carefully. He decided to make this thing an important task for his next alchemy progress.
The configuration of other potions should be gradual, but this thing that can immediately enhance the combat effectiveness of Team K must be mastered as soon as possible.
Imagine that if he can copy this drug, he can make Kite Man grow real wings, make Catwoman become an immortal female war god, and even let Zack Con gain the ability to control dangerous energy in a short time.
All members of Team K will have a gorgeous "second stage transformation", although it can only last Thirty minutes and there will be various adverse reactions.
But it is enough to save lives at a critical moment.
Mason nodded with satisfaction at this beautiful prospect, put the solution in his hand into a medicine box, and took out the phoenix egg, which is larger than an ostrich egg, from the suitcase.
He had only had this thing for a few days and didn't even have time to check it carefully.
Now that he had some free time, he took it out and put it in front of his eyes to gesture, but he couldn't feel any signs of life in the eggshell at all, and even shook it next to his ear, he couldn't hear the sound of egg yolk or egg liquid.
"Is it really dead? "
Mason raised his eyebrows and thought for a while, then reached out and knocked on the eggshell, making a low sound.
He also saw the information label on this thing that said that using fire could shorten the time for the phoenix to be reborn, so he decided to give it a try.
The young man pulled up his pants and walked out of the bathroom, looking around for a lighter. After a few seconds, he reacted, shook his head, stretched out his left hand and held the huge egg in his hand.
Magic fire started!
The "blessing of power" from a devil ignited the magic fire, and the flames that were jumping and burning on the fingers crawled up along the outline of the eggshell little by little, burning and soon covered the entire egg. .
Under Mason's gaze, after being covered by the magic flame, the egg, which had been motionless, began to vibrate strangely, as if it sensed the delicious flame and took a "deep breath" after a few seconds of preparation.
The young man only felt a huge attraction bursting out from the eggshell.
Not only did it devour all the magic fire it ignited, but it also drew its own energy to continuously generate magic flames so that it was continuously wrapped in flames.
It seemed to enjoy being surrounded by this magic fire.
But it was hard for Mason.
He usually used magic fire to smelt ore or perform alchemy. These are all actions that require extremely delicate manipulation. Where can there be such a wild "arson" experience?
The reverse extraction of magic fire made Mason feel weak quickly. Ten seconds later, he even felt dizzy when standing still.
"Bang"
The "greedy" phoenix egg was thrown out by Mason fiercely. This action made the young man sit on the ground with a gasp.
The fatigue on his cheek seemed to be sucked dry.
The good news is that the egg of the legendary creature is not that fragile. It was not damaged when it was thrown to the ground, but rolled all the way to the window.
The bad news is that Mason was exhausted by the extraction. He was so weak that he couldn't even stand up for a while.
And there was a negative effect of [Energy Weakness] in the status bar of the character card, which reminded him that he couldn't summon magic fire in the next 24 hours.
Of course, there was a second good news in the bad news:
Successfully completed a massive magic fire summoning, the craftsman's flame manipulation skill proficiency was improved, currently at Lv2, and the mysterious side talent was unlocked as [Craftsman Flame Shaping].
This talent allows the user to expend more energy to complete complex shaping when using magic fire to smelt small metal parts.
"Well, it's not a loss, but I really don't want to feel this way again. "
Mason lay on the floor and rested for several minutes before he came to his senses. He stood up with weak hands and feet and walked to the window to pick up his phoenix egg. He found that the terrifying one hundred years needed for it to complete nirvana rebirth was shortened by five years after the magic fire just now.
It seems that this magic flame is more "nutritious" than ordinary flames, right?
But the problem is that Mason can't stand this kind of extraction. He can only find other ways to see if he can satisfy this "big stomach king".
Mason was exhausted by the egg and planned to climb into bed to rest for a while, but before he closed his eyes, he heard the sound of the window opening.
The young man immediately grabbed a fruit knife on the bedside table, then opened his eyes and looked.
Batman in the dark was entering the ward through the window.
There were still water stains on his cloak and battle suit left by the rainy night. It seemed that the master was going to finish his night patrol today and was ready to go home.
"The door is over there!"
Mason sat up from the bed, yawned and pointed to the door of the ward. The master didn't pay attention to this unique humor. He just looked at the tiredness and weakness that could not be concealed on Mason's face.
It seemed that Jason had indeed beaten him hard, which made the master feel a little guilty again.
This is all because I failed to educate Jason's child well.
"Let me tell you something, Mason."
The master stood beside the hospital bed. He did not turn on the light but habitually hid in the shadows. He used his signature hoarse voice and said to Mason sitting on the bed:
"Everything related to you, I think it may be time to tell you. The truth may make you feel uncomfortable, but you will be exposed to it sooner or later."
This opening statement made Mason raise an eyebrow.
Seeing the master's serious look, Mason probably guessed what he was going to say, so the young man pretended to listen carefully.
Batman took out a very old document from his arms and threw it in front of Mason. The young man glanced at him and turned on the bedside lamp and opened the document with the faint light.
On the cover are adoption records from the Gotham Orphanage.
The content was, as expected, legal proof that Mason was adopted when he was one year old, but the adopter was not Mason's parents, but a name he had never heard of.
"You are not Robert and Aisha Cooper's biological child, Mason.
When I came into contact with you, in order to check your identity, I asked Alfred to investigate your life experience, and I accidentally discovered this secret. "
The master looked at the young man who lowered his head and said nothing, and said:
"There are many gaps in the documents of the Gotham Orphanage before it was taken over by the Wayne Foundation and re-located for operation. I went to search and found only this.
On the night you were adopted, the car with you was involved in a car accident on the road.
Robert Cooper, a senior member of the Penguin Gang at the time, accidentally passed by and took you away from the scene of the car accident. Later, with the help of the Penguin, a series of official connections were opened and you officially became the adopted son of that gang member. "
Mason has known this secret from Penguin before, but now he must pretend to know it for the first time so as not to reveal his whereabouts in Blackgate Prison.
He lowered his head and held the edge of the document with both hands.
His fingers were trembling, obviously suppressing huge shock and a sense of confusion.
After several minutes, he raised his head in the fluorescent light of the desk lamp and looked at Batman in front of him with reddish eyes. He pursed his lips and whispered:
"Then why did they abandon me? I mean my biological mother, why should I be sorry?"
"It's okay, you can cry."
Batman maintained his impassive attitude.
But his tone was much softer.
He looked at the young man sitting on the bed in front of him.
This is an orphan.
Well, just like myself.
The only difference is that Mason lost his parents when he was young, while his own parents were still with him until he was eight years old. In short, a very magical feeling rose in the master's heart.
He felt that the Mason in front of him was at an important stage in his life.
Perhaps, this boy who learned the truth about his life experience needs correct guidance from himself?
Lest he make the same mistake as Jason again.
"I have also been investigating about your biological parents, but unfortunately, I have not found any valuable information so far."
The master said something, which later aroused Mason's dissatisfaction.
The young man clenched the document in his hand and gritted his teeth and said:
"The Gotham Orphanage was taken over by the Wayne Foundation ten years ago, and all the documents and information there are in your hands! Bruce, how could you not find anything?
Am I the child of some villain? So you can't tell me the truth?
Don't you still believe me? After I helped you defeat the League of Assassins and helped you find your son! Am I still a person who must be suspected? "
"Mason, calm down."
The master shook his head and explained:
"I'm not withholding any information from you, because all your documents from the year you were adopted from the Gotham Orphanage were burned in a fire.
Obviously, some people don't want us to know your true origins, and you should also know what such behavior means, Mason.
You have a secret past.
And those shadows may come back to you one day in the future.
In fact, now I very much doubt that the "three-headed dog"'s capture and knowledge transfer to you is related to your life experience. The dark wizard bent on harvesting evil souls may not be as simple as she seems. "
"Yes, she is not simple at all."
Mason almost laughed out loud in his heart, but he still had to pretend to be sad on the outside.
It wasn't until a few seconds later that the master walked to the bedside and said to him very seriously:
"Mason, do you want to reconsider your suggestion of becoming Robin? You can become one of us, and we will protect you as much as we protect ourselves.
Become Robin, my invitation is still valid now. "
