Chapter 184 67 The World of Assassins in Mason's Eyes
Chapter 184 67. The assassin world in Mason's eyes
"I have entered the building database. You guessed right, Mason. There are many people who are proficient in concealment and stealth, disguised as company security guards patrolling everywhere.
They are obviously guarding against possible intrusion and infiltration."
The voice of Ertong came from the team communication. This pioneer warrior and assassin trained by Batman and the Assassin's League said in a surprised tone:
"From what I have seen, these guys' action patterns are definitely not mediocre even among the senior assassins in Nandarbat. It is hard to imagine that they are deployed as front-line cannon fodder in a branch of a disguised company.
I began to believe your judgment.
It seems that this world really deliberately disguises itself in front of us, They acted very naturally. If I hadn't been trained by a master in concealment and disguise, I would have been fooled by them."
"So be careful, Jason."
On the rooftop of Abstergo's building two blocks outside of Manhattan, Mason held up a futuristic smart telescope that could see through walls and stared at the target area. He whispered to Ertong:
"Get out immediately after installing the data interface. I have reason to believe that there should be a master assassin in that building, and maybe a "saint".
The last time Lao K and his team were wiped out here was because they were ambushed by the assassin saint. "
"Saint? What kind of strange name is this?"
Beside Mason, Barbara was ready to remotely hack into the database. Her left His eyes kept flashing with light, and he asked in a low voice:
"Is it the unique power system of this world?"
"Almost."
Mason explained nonsense:
"According to the notes left by Old K, all the power in this world can be traced back to the ancient civilization Isu, which is a super civilization from the stars. They carried out colonization or research activities on the earth in ancient times.
They are not gods, in fact, their life form is quite weak.
In terms of physique, endurance, strength and even fertility, they are far inferior to humans like us.
But a series of remaining records in this world show that the Isu have learning and creative abilities that we can't imagine, and their senses are also sharp to the point of being gods.
They once built on the earth They established a prosperous "Forerunner Era", but it disappeared in a disaster.
However, they made a lot of preparations for that disaster, including large-scale genetic modification of the ancient humans who were just emerging at that time to continue their existence.
So to be precise, although the humans in this world look the same as us, they are not the same race as us.
In this era, Isu blood is still circulating, and the owners of those ancient blood often have strange powers similar to "superpowers".
And according to the concentration of their Isu blood, the assassins in this world will give them different names. "
"Data interface inserted! Start cracking."
The voice of the second barrel sounded, interrupting Mason's description.
Barbara immediately executed the rapid invasion protocol. When the second barrel left the database room of Abstergo wearing an invisibility cloak, she had easily obtained the data authority and began to look for the information needed by Team K in the other party's database.
There is no need for Mason to describe the power system of this world under the guise of the "Old K Notebook" that never existed.
Barbara's left eye flickered with light as she read out the information she had searched for in the deep database of Abstergo:
"According to the information collected by Abstergo since its establishment after World War II and the results of large-scale human experiments, the concentration of Isu blood in ordinary people in this world is generally around 0.002% to 0.005%, and there is no potential for discovery.
The probability of a super-potential individual being born in every 100,000 people is around 0.03%, and the Isu blood concentration judgment standard for such super-potential individuals is above 0.5%.
The most basic feature is the triple helix DNA structure that is different from that of ordinary people, which is the most obvious sign of Isu hybrids.
This super-potential individual only needs simple training to awaken various "ancient powers".
The most basic abilities include the mutated "eagle eyes" of the eyes, motor nerves and dynamic perception that are more than ten times more developed than ordinary people, super-tough vitality and self-healing ability, extremely effective foresight of danger and innate use of weapons, etc.
This super potential individual is given the code name 'Master'. "
Batgirl paused, continued to dig deeper into the information, and searched for the "saint" entry that Mason had just mentioned. She repeated with surprise:
"The so-called 'saint' super life has an Isu blood concentration of more than 5% at birth. They generally show certain characteristics far beyond ordinary people in childhood, and generally have a 'personal charm' that is difficult to explain scientifically.
The probability of its birth in the ordinary world is 0.04% per 10 million people. According to Abstergo's statistics, an average of one 'saint' is born every 70-150 years in the past two thousand years.
Without exception, they are all outstanding people who dominated an era. Their famous representatives include Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, King Arthur, Joan of Arc, Napoleon, Little Moustache and
Oh my God!
The history of this world over the past two thousand years has been written and hosted by this kind of 'saint', and the truth behind these historical appearances is the confrontation between two forces.
The main theme of its history is the spiral development of the two powerful camps of "order" and "freedom".
Mason, I think I can understand where your worries and tensions come from now. "
Barbara looked up and said with a look of astonishment:
"This world only looks very similar to other worlds, but its hidden power inheritance is far beyond our understanding. "
"This is exactly what I am worried about. "
Mason narrowed his eyes and said:
"This secret confrontation that has lasted for more than two thousand years has made this world "full of martial virtues" and possessed superb fighting wisdom, but now a third party, the "Star Society", has appeared in the confrontation between the two sides.
I can tell how unwelcome "outsiders" like us are in this world just by thinking with my toes.
Whether it is for the liberal Assassin Brotherhood or the Order Templars, we who represent "chaos" are "heretics" who need to be killed immediately.
I now have enough reason to believe that the two sides of the original confrontation in this world have united under the guidance of some higher power and set a dangerous trap for us unwelcome guys. "
"Higher power? ”
Er Tong, who had been listening to Mason and Barbara’s conversation, asked in surprise:
“Based on the information Barbara has discovered, this assassin saint with a 5% blood concentration sounds like a superhuman. If there is a higher power, shouldn’t it be traced directly to those mysterious Isu people?
Barbara, is there any similar information description in the database? ”
“Not found yet.”
The blue light circle in Batgirl’s left eye flickered.
She searched through Abstergo’s database and did not find relevant information, but she believed that Mason would not joke about such things.
Mason shook his head and explained:
“If the Isu people in this world can be called gods, then their combination with humans can create ‘half-human, half-god’ like those in other myths and legends.
For example, Perseus, Hercules, or the Wonder Woman Diana in our world.
The hybrid characteristics will not weaken their power, but will make them have the dual advantages of humans and gods at the same time. The Isu people use genetic technology to enhance their bodies to superhuman levels, coupled with the Isu people's unique super senses and super learning and creativity.
A long enough life allows them to fully exploit their own advantages, and this also includes the various Isu black technology equipment left by the forerunner civilization, which enables them to manipulate space and even time.
I have enough reason to believe that such an "Isu demigod" will definitely not be less destructive than Diana Prince.
Even close to Clark Kent in normal state.
There will definitely not be too many such "demigods", but even if there are only one or two, it is enough to easily kill all the pioneers currently in this world.
According to the Star Society's rating of world power, once such an individual who can destroy civilization alone appears, the evaluation of the world should be raised to "A grade". "
Mason sighed.
He knew that this so-called simple task was definitely not that simple. Looking at the night that was becoming more and more dead in his perception, he said:
"This world is disguising itself in the eyes of the Star Society. There is no doubt about this. Barbara, search the keyword 'Atlantis' in the Abstergo database!"
"No information."
Barbara replied after a second:
"There are only some folk tales about Atlantis, but I found a secret action plan called 'Odyssey' within Abstergo.
Its goal is to search for the existence of Atlantis.
But this building is not its headquarters, and its internal database does not store specific information about such a high-authority action. "
"As expected, the second barrel will withdraw quickly. "
Mason gave a warning and said to Barbara:
"Search for the keywords 'Cassandra' and 'Alexios' and 'New York Underground Temple'. "
"Except for some folk tales popular in the Mediterranean region, there is no valid information. There are some fragments about the 'Great Temple', but according to the data path, a higher-level key is required to unlock its encrypted information.
This branch database cannot provide such authority at all. Forcibly hacking into a higher-level data link will definitely expose our whereabouts."
Barbara gave another disappointing answer.
But Mason's expression remained unchanged. He rubbed his forehead and recalled for a while, and said to Batgirl:
"Search for the keyword 'Phoenix Project'."
"Wait a minute."
Batgirl searched the database for the information given by Mason again. This time she was silent for a little longer, which should be a result.
After a few seconds, she looked up and said:
"Got it! Although we still don't have specific plan information, the nearest Phoenix Project laboratory is in an underground area on the outskirts of the city."
"Very good, let's go there, the sooner the better."
Mason gestured to Barbara to disconnect the connection, and said:
"There should be a deep database of Abstergo Corporation there, where we can find all the information we need."
"I don't understand, Mason. "
Barbara disconnected the connection and burned two barrels of data interfaces left in the Abstergo branch, while rubbing her slightly hot forehead and asked:
"Why do you care so much about this information?"
"If our main mission fails, we should at least bring back something that can shut up the Star Society, right?"
Mason let out a long sigh and said:
"The information we have collected so far is enough to prove the danger of this world, and at the same time it can make up for the terrible hidden dangers caused by the Star Society's intelligence errors.
In this way, no matter how harsh Mr. Hunter is, he can't blame us for not completing our mission.
In addition, I am personally very interested in the heritage of the Isu people. This ancient civilization is fundamentally different from other gods we have heard of.
They are weak in body but really good at making things.
If someone like me who is committed to becoming a good craftsman can be lucky enough to get the technology they left behind.
Well, this probably has to wait until we become more powerful in the future. At present, with our strength, we still have to keep our tails between our legs in this world."
The captain shrugged regretfully.
A few minutes later, Ertong returned to the hiding place. The three of them "borrowed" a car on the side of the road and headed towards the direction of the Phoenix Project laboratory found by Barbara.
The second barrel was driving, Mason was observing the surroundings in the co-pilot seat, and Barbara in the back seat closed her eyes and analyzed the series of data she had just downloaded.
A few minutes later, she said:
"This 'Phoenix Project' is a long-term human experiment project that Abstergo has been carrying out for nearly 70 years. Their goal is to artificially produce high-concentration Isu hybrids.
What a crazy action.
According to the information I have seen so far, there are nearly 50,000 experimental subjects in North America in the past 70 years. It's simply a disregard for human life!"
"If I were you, Barbara, what I should worry about now is not how many people they killed in the past."
The second barrel who was driving reminded in a low voice:
"Just two saints can wipe out Lao K's team and let Lao K, a senior pioneer, escape in embarrassment. If this Phoenix Project fails, it's fine, but what if it succeeds?
What if the assassins in this world can mass-produce that kind of killing machine? God knows how many artificial saints are hiding in this city waiting to kill us?"
"Don't scare yourself, Jason."
Mason shook his head and said:
"Even if they succeed, they can only produce master-level Isu hybrids in batches at most. 5% Isu blood concentration is enough to change the life form.
It is definitely not something that can be produced by just finding a few test subjects. If they really have that kind of strength, they don't need to play this kind of "hide and seek" game with the stars.
But we still have to be prepared."
He said:
"In my estimation, once we find the information we need, the alarm will be triggered. Even if we can delay until we enter the underground temple in New York to unlock the golden apple, it will definitely trigger a hard battle.
We definitely don't have much time left, so just get the information and leave.
It would be best if we can enter the temple to unlock the golden apple information. If we really can't do it, find Zha Kang and evacuate here immediately."
"Yeah."
Jason and Barbara nodded. Both of them understood the operational risks that Team K was taking at this time. With the current communication being monitored, they couldn't contact Constantine who was still in the "safe zone" that was not safe at all.
I wonder what that guy is doing now?
I hope he can sense the danger this time as before, and then deal with it smarter.
——
While Mason and the other two were risking their lives, what was Zha Kang doing?
The answer was simple.
He was also risking his life.
After applying the highest level of concealment magic that he could use at present, Constantine played the role of "Bat Boy" tonight. He fixed his claw gun on the edge of the roof of the Continental Hotel, allowing himself to approach the top floor from the outside little by little under the night.
He was very curious about what was hidden on the top floor of the Continental Hotel.
As he got closer to there, an irresistible force of interference with the mind vibrated on Constantine's spiritual level, like an invisible wave source that could assimilate and change the mental state of any life form that approached it.
That is, Zha Kang was already proficient in various black magics, and he was also a walking "curse complex", so his mental resistance had to be far superior to that of ordinary people in order for him to persist until he climbed to the window on the top floor.
But even so, Zha Kang was still panting and sweating when he arrived at his destination.
He now felt that his current actions were a bit risky.
But it was too late to regret. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, stretched his head out and cast a penetrating magic on himself to look at the top floor, wanting to see what that weird thing was.
Then, he saw a round golden gadget floating on a rather unique golden base on the table in the center of the empty sealed room.
"Huh?"
Constantine widened his eyes.
He felt that this thing was really familiar, and he must have seen it somewhere!
"Isn't this the thing in Mason's hand? This thing can actually transform the spirit on such a large scale? But why doesn't the golden apple in Mason's hand have this ability?
Wait!
If this thing can transform thinking, is it possible that it is not that Old K is lucky to take the golden apple out, but that the golden apple originally needs someone to take it out of this world?
If the golden apple in Mason's hand is a bait that was deliberately sent out of the world, then Team K
That’s the fish that got hooked!
Fuck! ”
