Chapter 230 28 Anti-Batman Tactics, Start!
Chapter 230 28. Anti-Batman tactics, start!
Under the control of an experienced AI driver, the Batmobile stopped very smoothly on the roadside, only a few minutes away from Wayne Manor. Mason got out of the car and walked into the wasteland next to him. He looked back and then took out his flip phone. Called that number.
After a few seconds, the master's voice sounded from among them.
The conversation was extremely concise and he didn’t want to waste even a minute:
"Afu is waiting for you, and the information is also in his hands. Give the things to him. If anyone else is there, leave immediately."
"For such an important matter, I thought you would come here in person."
Mason took out a cigarette and put it under his nostrils, sniffing it but not lighting it. He whispered:
"Still in the watchtower?"
"Diana wants to interrogate your people, and I'm stalling for time."
Batman replied:
"Everyone who participated in the planet destruction operation was left in the watchtower for observation on the grounds of preventing germs from other worlds from invading our world. They would not return until a day later.
Move as fast as you can, Mason.
And, the most important thing."
"I understand, you can't kill people."
Mason said softly:
"When working with you, I will abide by your bottom line. We will use non-lethal weapons. In addition, I will have two friends enter Gotham during the ground combat stage to help contain your teammates.
They can no longer return through the World Gate without contracting the curse, and I hope you can help take care of them while they remain in Gotham.
This will most likely be our last conversation for a while.
So is there anything else you would like to say? "
"You said before that any one of us might be contacted and bewitched by the Star Club's informants. I thought about it carefully and felt that this was a hidden danger."
The master said in a low tone:
"I will try to leave some people in the watchtower, and if possible, take them all away."
"Um?"
Mason understood instantly, but he frowned and said:
"Selena should have told you that joining the Stars means becoming a 'candle'. You are pushing them into a pit of fire."
"No."
The master explained:
"There are tens of thousands of members of the Society of Stars. If you already have tens of thousands of burning candles in front of you, what's the difference between one more and one less? Your curse is not controlling, Mason. I talked to Xiao Zha specifically about this. Well, she told me that if it weren't for a forced manipulation curse, they could be temporarily expelled through isolation and sealing.
No need to kill.
Just defeat the owner of the candle and everyone will be free in an instant. "
"You really dare to think."
Mason was stunned:
"You really have no idea how powerful a godly devil who has the light of tens of thousands of candles to illuminate himself can be, and he can go straight to the Yellow Dragon without extinguishing the candles.
I might need an army of Superman as the vanguard and an army of Batman as the flankers to do this. "
"We will do it together, not now, but in the future."
The master did not discuss this topic again. He took the initiative to end the call and said:
“Proceed as planned, Mason, take them away, those are not suspects, but they have great potential, and each has their own character flaws that are easily bewitched and exploited.
We need to take precautions before they happen.
Team K also needs the help of some good hands to carry out the latent mission, so think of this as the last aid from your hometown to you pioneers.
I believe you can convince them to join you. "
The communication was hung up. Mason curled his lips and glanced at the communication records on his flip phone. Instead of returning to the Batmobile, he lit a cigarette in the dark night where he was.
It's not for enjoyment, but just to clarify my thoughts in this way. The originally very useful demulcent has also developed resistance due to repeated consumption.
This really gave Mason a headache.
But before he could fully understand it, the flip phone in his hand rang again. Mason glanced at the number, connected the communication and said:
"Barbara? What's wrong?"
Bat Girl's weak voice came from the phone, with a hint of anxiety.
"Mason, Judy let me see the information Delamain sent back to the main server. Why did you send those truths to Mr. Hunter? This would expose us.
We have temporarily blocked that message and can modify it at any time. "
"There is no need to modify it."
Mason blew out a smoke ring and replied:
"Just send it like that. This is a test. I want to see if Mr. Hunter will send this news to her superiors to determine our next step.
Remember her move into the world of Isu assassins to save us? Barbara.
She can be won over. "
"she?"
Barbara caught a key message. She hesitated for a moment and said:
"Isn't this a little risky? If you make a mistake."
“Then this piece of information is a ‘certificate of nomination’.”
Mason explains:
"I just learned that some of our 'friends' are also a little dissatisfied with Quint, so no matter what the outcome is, there is a high probability that we will gain support from one party.
I have a certain degree of confidence that the hunter will help us hide this news, let's send it out. "
"All right."
Barbara responded, and then Judy's voice rang from the phone, saying with a hint of complaint:
"Mason, can you inform me in advance next time something like this happens? I was already asleep and was woken up by the danger warning to work overtime. Also, I told the captain about your request, and he asked me to tell you that he really hasn't done anything recently. time to keep the appointment, but once he is free, he will take the initiative to find you.
Also, if you can get anything out of the conqueror's mouth, please share it with us. "
"What? Don't you trust your superiors too?"
Mason's lips curved into a smile, and he joked:
"Does the Afterlife Team also aspire to become the 'thorny employees' that cause headaches to their superiors like Team K?"
“We don’t think about it that much, but who doesn’t like having more options?”
Judy snorted and shared another secret with Mason. She said:
"You don't know yet, right? While you were fighting life and death with the conquerors, the captain and the others completed the apocalyptic transfer of three D-class worlds during this period.
This matter was originally an application that was rejected.
But for some reason, Mr. Hunter suddenly agreed and risked being discovered by allocating the transfer door to us. Now everyone is guessing what made him change his mind.
We thought about all the variables and finally agreed that this should have something to do with you. Tell me honestly, what did you say to Mr. Hunter that made him suddenly change his temper?
Does he have any leverage on you? "
"Don't talk nonsense. I have always been loyal to my superiors. But maybe his elm head suddenly enlightened."
Mason's smile grew even bigger after hearing the secret.
He became more confident about the outcome of this test, so he threw away the half-burned cigarette in his hand, stamped it out, and answered:
"Thank you for your help, Judy, look, since you are awake now, why not just stop sleeping. Help Barbara check the remaining data information in her mind and kill her.
By the way, give me a copy of that powerful separation chip. I need it urgently.
This time I am hiring you.
I will never let you do it in vain and pay you later. "
"I know, I'll talk to Barbara."
Judy said in an unhappy tone:
"No matter what you want to do, be careful, Mason. The Afterlife team just started to like your style, so don't lose yourself."
Mason hung up the communication and stretched his body in a relaxed mood. This emotion was captured by the Sorting Hat on his head. Mr. Hat snorted and said in Mason's heart:
"Did you finally find your accomplice?"
"Don't say it so harshly, Hat."
Mason corrected:
"It's just that we can tell who will help us at the critical moment. It is happy to find new friends at any time. By the way, about what I promised you
Are you ready to witness the downfall of the traitors? "
"Um?"
The Sorting Hat snorted in surprise.
But it knew that Mason was not a talkative person, so he asked enthusiastically:
"The destruction of Amaterasu must have alerted the other two families. What are you going to do this time?"
"That group of wizard traitors with evil intentions are now searching the world for the Hogwarts beast that committed the murder. Do you think that if they get the exact location of the perpetrator and a copy of the artifacts left after the destruction of the world at this time? Treasure or something, what will they do?”
Mason looked back at the brightly lit Gotham in the night and said:
"You see, I'm about to face the Justice League and the entire world's high-end spellcasters in Gotham. My dear hat, if I don't plan to surrender, I have to find some 'foreign aid' for myself.
Of course, to do this, you must prepare enough weighty bait to add fire to the fear and greed in their hearts, so as to push them willingly into their own doom. "
There was a flick behind the young man, and a small piece of blood-red magic stone fragment fell into the palm of his hand. He said:
"This alone is not enough. You may have to give something valuable to Revenge as a sacrifice, a hat."
"Sacrifice is not a problem."
The Sorting Hat got excited and said in an old man's excited voice:
"But how do you make them believe it? Those great wizards are not stupid."
"One rumor that appeared in the Star Castle is enough. I have friends who can help us get rid of this matter."
With a rather relaxed and confident smile on his face, Mason said:
"And I also have a superior who has a high enough status and is also dissatisfied with the Star Society. She is happy to see a group of traitors with no bottom line stained with blood on the stars, and is naturally willing to cooperate with us to send them to the Jedi.
In my eyes, this matter is already more than half done. "
After a few minutes, Mason, who felt much relieved from the pressure, returned to the Batmobile and continued toward Wayne Manor while humming a song.
"What's wrong with you? Did you find the money? You're smiling so happily."
Zha Kang looked back at Mason with a surprised face, and said:
"Is something good going to happen? Let me share it."
"The good thing is that you didn't just go to the watchtower to save people this time."
Mason glanced at Zha Kang and said:
"You may even need to help us bring back a few prisoners. They should all be very difficult characters, so your operations there will have to be re-planned."
"No need!"
Zha Kang waved his hand, winked and said:
"I always do things based on my feelings, unlike you who are so shrewd. I prefer to leave everything to luck. Although my luck is terrible, it is strangely good in such a life-threatening matter.
Let's talk about personal matters. As I said before, I plan to develop some relationships beyond friendship with Collipso. She is vulnerable now, and it is a good opportunity to take advantage of her.
You shouldn't prohibit "office romance", right?"
"It's up to you. Don't let Xiao Zha find out and kill you again. Although I have a potion that can make you grow some annoying organs again, how can I say it?
These things are better in original condition, right?"
Mason coughed and decided to maintain his innocent boyish personality and not express his opinions on this damn obscene issue, so as not to let Catwoman, whose face was not quite right, stab him with a sword.
Soon, the gate of Wayne Manor appeared in front of the group, but they did not go through the main gate but turned to the waterfall in the back mountain and drove all the way into the bat cave.
Ah Fu was waiting here.
Batman's most trusted old butler was here alone, but beside him stood four armed robot assistants who looked very advanced.
"He's in your hands, Alfred."
Mason slid Dr. Zola out of the car. Under the treatment of four ray guns pointed at the display and data core, this guy also projected his face and winked at Mason to say goodbye.
He thanked Team K very "sincerely" for sparing his life.
"Mason, can I talk to you alone?"
After Dr. Zola was sent to the confinement room of the Batcave, the old butler said to Mason expressionlessly, and the young man did not refuse to walk with him to a secluded area on the edge of the cave.
Before Mason could speak, Alfred punched him with a nimble punch.
This old man who was an ace agent in his youth was not ambiguous at all when he started fighting. This punch hit Mason's cheek and made the young man grin.
It hurt, but not very painful.
After all, he had drunk the potion of unicorn blood, was strengthened by the welfare of the Star Society, and used Isu serum. His physique had officially entered the superhuman category, and it was not something that an old man could defeat.
Even if the person in front of him was the Butler, after all, there was no "superman medicine" for Ah Fu to use.
"You bastard!"
Alfred, who always maintained an English gentleman demeanor, shouted angrily:
"Mr. Wayne trusted you so much! He even broke his rules for you. He even made a Robin uniform for you, but what did you do!
Blackgate Prison, Arkham Asylum, Penguin Gang! Mason, what other bad things have you done that we don't know about?
You damn liar!"
"Well, saving an isolated city from another doomsday without your knowledge, and sending nearly a million people away from death last night, does it count?"
Mason rubbed his chin and said softly to the surprised old butler:
"You have to understand, Alfred, not every world is lucky enough to have the Justice League and Batman. Although I deceived Bruce here, I promise that what I did in other worlds All of them followed his instructions completely.
If he had seen my actions with his own eyes, he would have given me a thumbs up.
Ah Fu
Sorry, I don't want to lie to you, but things have come to a point, and I didn't have any choice at that time. "
"He may forgive you, but I won't!"
The old butler still stepped forward angrily and grabbed Mason's collar, and whispered:
"Barbara, Jason, and Ms. Selina! The roots of the entire Bat Family are almost hollowed out by you! It's okay for you to take risks and risk your life, but you also want to take those children with you? "
"About this, I admit that I did not do it right. "
Mason raised his hands and said a little embarrassedly:
"But I promise that they will not be harmed before I die, and if there is a chance, I will definitely compensate them. "
"You'd better promise!"
Ah Fu let go of Mason angrily.
He glared at the young man, straightened his collar and turned to leave. After walking a few steps, the old man sighed again, turned his head and said to him:
"Maybe I can't understand the meaning of your travels in various worlds because I am old, but please take care of them and yourself.
Okay?"
"Yeah."
Mason nodded and watched Ah Fu leave.
Then, he looked back at the movement in the darkness behind him and said:
"What are you doing hiding there? Would you be so sneaky in your own home?"
"Of course, I saw you take the initiative to come to my door and thought about how to retaliate. The good news is that I cracked your damn magic potion and remembered what you made me forget in advance.
The bad news is that one of us must be beaten here today.
Guess who it will be?"
Damian Wayne, wearing star-speckled pajamas, jumped out of his hiding place with a sullen face and a samurai sword as tall as him, gesticulating as if he was thinking about where to cut Mason to make it more painful.
But the young man was stroking his chin, looking at the little lunatic in front of him with a strange look, who was gradually becoming normal despite the forgetfulness potion.
In the past, he would not have said so much. He just drew his knife and chopped him.
After a few seconds, Mason suddenly said:
"Damian, are you serious about what you said last time?
It’s about you wanting to join Team K. Someone just reminded me that instead of letting others use sweet words to take you away, maybe I should give you a chance.”
