Mason slept pretty badly.

The apocalyptic scenes depicted in the movies and various comics he saw kept echoing in his mind, like a botched "apocalyptic movie marathon".

It was already dawn when he opened his eyes, and the sky was still a little dark but the night had been dispelled, and the kite man who was cooking breakfast by the campfire glanced at Mason who got up and rubbed his eyes.

He quipped:

"I guess you must love Superman and Wonder Woman."

"Huh? Why? ”

Mason gave him a puzzled look, and the Kite Man shrugged his shoulders and said:

"You really didn't sleep well this night. You shouted Wonder Woman 67 times with your eyes closed, Superman 138 times, and other names I hadn't heard.

It's a mess...

So, I guess your nightmare must be terrible. ”

"You're boring, Count-kun."

The young man pursed his lips, raised his head and drank his saliva and wiped his lips, and then heard the kite man say faintly:

"But I think you trust Batman more, and you shouted him 487 times in one night, second only to the guy named 'Logan' who you shouted 449 times..."

"Shut up!"

Mason, who had always behaved very calm and rational, became angry at this moment, and threw the water bottle in his hand at the laughing kite man.

He was even wondering if he should pull out Sujay's Eagle and give this guy a sword!

Hey, you little brother went too far, why didn't the clown kill you?

Is it because you can fly?

"Laugh at the fart."

Mason calmed himself down, picked up the flattering breakfast mush from the Kite Man, and as he put it in his mouth, he took out the Mr. Potter diary in his pocket and threw it to him, motioning for him to read it for himself.

The kite man took it in his hand and looked at it, then his expression became more and more serious, and by the end his face was full of panic.

He finally understood why Mason had such nightmares.

"Was this apocalyptic disaster planned? Orechette! What about the terrifying-sounding 'Destroyers of the World'? ”

The kite man shook his hand and returned the journal to Mason, and he ate his breakfast as if he were chewing wax, and said:

"You're worried about our world too... No, it won't! We've got Batman! We still have Superman! We are so much better than the wizards of this world!

They didn't dare to come. ”

"This world is not as weak as you think, it's just that zombies can't use magic."

Mason whispered:

"You've seen that dragon with your own eyes, and there should be other living dragons in this world, as well as magical creatures that are no weaker than dragons.

But they're still zombieized.

Charles, we can't take it as if we have a glimpse of the end of the world, you know what I mean? ”

"You want to tell Batman about this?"

The kite man's brain is also very useful, and he reacted immediately.

Mason didn't answer.

But that's really what he's thinking right now.

He really didn't want to have any contact with the World Destroyer and the stars from Old K, not to mention that Old K had told him before he died not to trust anyone from the Stars Society.

Obviously, even in the eyes of a cold-blooded bastard like Old K, the Stellar Society is not a good place.

"Well, you have a point, this matter is not something that the two of us can handle."

The Kite Man quickly nodded, and he said:

"When the sky falls, we're going to have to be tall, and we'll go back to Gotham and go to Batman and throw all this at him and his friends, and then we'll be able to live our lives with ease.

Well, the train is coming! I heard the whistle.

Quick, boss, pack up and let's go. ”

A few minutes later, Mason and the Kite Man landed on the platform of the dead Hodmod Village station in the dead silence of the motorcycle, and opened the car to put the scooter inside.

After the train starts, Mason walks into the front of the magic train alone.

Mason looked at the oddly shaped train engine in front of him.

It was like a silver-gray shell that encapsulated everything secretly, apparently magically transformed, and not even a single screw could be seen on it.

He soon found several barrels of strange smelling special liquid in a compartment at the front of the car, and Mason confirmed that it was a special oil for alchemy engines, and could also be used for the engines of flying motorcycles.

He put the fuel in his suitcase and felt that the magic backpack was comfortable to use, and then reached out and touched the strange silver-gray hood in front of him.

The info tab pops up:

"Otrina" Type 3 Alchemy Power Engine Mainframe

Quality: Epic Engineering/Alchemy Item, Outstanding Craft

Item description: Since the implementation of the International Wizarding Secrecy Act, the admission of new students to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has been on the agenda, and in order to balance security, secrecy, and the evolution of the wizarding world, the then Minister of Magic, Otlyn Gamber, has made a bold proposal.

The Alchemy Power Engine is the culmination of ancient magical techniques and modern industry, and has been improved three times since its inception, and almost all modern power plants in the wizarding world are derived from it, and its name is used in honor of the admirable Minister of Magic.

The engine is powered by a special oil made by alchemists, and can operate autonomously for months or even years at a time in a magical environment.

To this day, the blueprints for Oterina's alchemy engine remain top-secret for the Ministry of Magic.

Hint: This blueprint is a comprehensive science, and requires Alchemy Lv4, Engineering Lv5, Enchantment Lv2, and Inscription Lv2. Drawing parsing.

"Okay."

Mason regretfully withdrew his hand.

It seems that I really have to take some time to quickly improve the level of my professional skills.

These mysterious drawings are right in front of you but can't be parsed and viewed, which is really itchy, like entering a treasure trove and not being able to take any of the treasure.

When he turned around and went back to the carriage, he saw the Kite Man holding a playing card-like thing in his hand and looking at it over and over.

After seeing Mason push the door in, Charles the Kite Man immediately shook the thing and said:

"Look, what did I find in the old clothes that Old K left behind? A magic card with an exotic beauty, that's so cool! ”

"Huh? Let me see. ”

Mason reached out and took the card, put it in his hand and pouted.

I was still complaining that Lao K, the witcher, only gave him a sword and badge, but I didn't see any trace of the Gwent card, so it turned out to be hidden here.

"Coconut milk... Uh, no, Ms. Yennefer, hello. ”

The young man put the card in front of his eyes, looked at the portrait of the beautiful lady in black clothes and black hair, and had a rather oriental style, he smiled and whispered.

In the next second, the knowledge prompt jumped into front of me:

"An inscription artifact has been detected, and it is being analyzed... This item is the 'Classic Gwent Neutral Faction Legendary Card Sorceress Yennefer', which is used to play this card in an entertainment game to gain envious and hateful glances from opponents and onlookers, as well as to temporarily call 'Rich Brother'.

Drawings have been included.

The inscription skill is on, and it is currently at Lv0. ”

"It's a fun toy, you can take it and send out loneliness when you're alone."

Mason reviews and prepares to return the rare card to Kite Man, but as he hands over the card, he suddenly discovers an unobtrusive graffiti in the corner of the card.

This made the young man raise his eyebrows, and he looked at it again carefully, and found that the graffiti was a "K" in a special-shaped font.

"Old K?"

Mason's eyes narrowed.

He immediately guessed that this was the origin of the pseudonym "Old K", and then he thought that if there was an old K, would there be still Old A, the queen, the clown, and the king?

Okay, is it a clue that is suspected of being a secret organization after a long time?

Why do you guys like to have this kind of secret society so much? We're already in a secret society, bastard, do we need to play another game?

Aren't you tired?

"I'm sorry, Charles."

Mason played with the cards in his hand and said to the Kite Man:

"I'm going to take this thing, I can't give it back to you."

"It's okay, you can use it."

The kite man grinned, showed an expression of "men understand", raised an eyebrow and said to Mason:

"Young man, I can understand that the fire is strong, when I was 18 years old, the head teacher of my fat woman would be... Ahem, don't talk about it, in short, pay attention to your body. ”

Mason rolled his eyes.

Mentally older than the kite man, of course he understood what this guy was talking about, but he didn't bother to respond, sat in the corner of the sofa and dug out Old K's alchemy notes and began to study.

Although there is more inner drama, Mason is more reluctant to show mood swings.

He sees it as a sign of maturity and hopes that he can be a quiet beautiful man.

The Kite Man also took out his tattered jetpack and placed it on the table, sighing as he tried to fix it, but it was unlikely to be repaired in a short time after seeing it shatter into this ghostly appearance.

In the midst of this busy process, the train arrived four hours later.

Mason stepped down the ladder with his suitcase, and he glanced back at the always misty exit behind the magic platform, and it really felt like a world away.

The kite man behind him in old clothes sighed similarly.

The trip lasted only three days, but it was really something that only the two who survived could experience.

"Go look at that door."

As he crossed the pillar of the Enchanted Platform, Mason picked up his shotgun and addressed the Kite Man, who looked at him and said:

"What else are you going to do? Not going home? ”

"Back, but in a bad mood."

The young man clicked open the insurance, moved his neck, and said:

"Practice the gun first."

"Understood, I'll wait for you at the door, it's better not to wait too long, I really can't wait to see my son now."

Charles glanced down at his fingers and said:

"Go to TM's relationship breakdown! I've decided, I'm going to fight a lawsuit with that woman to get my son back! ”

"I have ideas, and I support you."

Mason said casually, and after crossing the stone pillar of the nine-and-three-quarter platform, he raised his gun and locked on to a wandering zombie above, and with a bang, a headless corpse fell from a height of more than ten meters.

"Successfully complete an excellent long-range precision kill, and increase the proficiency of shooting branch skills x5."

The hint in front of him brought a smile to Mason's lips, and he remembered that he had vowed to break through his marksmanship to Lv3 before he set off.

An unforgettable journey always ends perfectly.

---

Three hours later, rubbing his aching arms and carrying his gun and suitcase, Mason came to the door where they had crossed the world.

The young man discovered a very tragic truth, that is, the improvement of the skills of each branch is indeed more and more difficult.

Behind him, the zombies in the entire station were almost wiped out by him, and the engineering bombs he brought with him were also cleaned, but so many times of precision killing with proficiency was enough to make the shooting reach Lv3, which really didn't know if it would be until the Year of the Monkey to the full level.

Before his eyes, the kite man was already a little impatient.

He guarded the unremarkable door but did not leave Mason alone, which made the young man feel a little satisfied, and it seemed that Charles was indeed a good partner to work with.

Of course, it would be better if he was more powerful and useful.

The black stone inlaid in the cat's eye of the door had dimmed, which seemed to indicate that the door's magical abilities were about to close, and its brass handle was marked with intricate scales on the outer ring, and Mason had seen the old K use this thing before to twist to a specific position to open the precise world passage.

"Come on, you seem to be better at dealing with these strange things."

The Kite Man stepped aside and watched Mason step forward.

The young man reached out and grabbed the brass handle, and in the next moment, the information label popped up:

World Shuttle Gate: Replica

Quality: Excellent creation, excellent craftsmanship

Traits: Strange object projection, star positioning, time and space travel, identity locking, soul link

Status: Owner 'Old K' is dead, the Key of the World is broken, and it needs to be rebound before it can be used.

Effect:

Select the coordinates of different worlds and twist the handle to open a passage to different parallel worlds.

Using the World Key can change the anchor of the World Gate in different worlds.

This item requires a specific power stone to power up, and it will last for five days at a time, and the remaining time is [37/120 hours], and the ownerless world gate will be permanently closed when the power stone is depleted.

Item Description: The World Gate is only a replica of the World Gate owned by the Stars, and all of its abilities are derived from a replica projection of the true Legendary item.

The item can be destroyed, but it is not recommended.

This prompt made Mason frown, because under the prompt, there was also an information interaction box that popped up: "The World Gate can bind new users, yes/no?" ”

"What's wrong?"

When the kite man saw Mason's ugly face, his heart suddenly burst into a heart, and he asked in a low voice.

Mason glanced at him and whispered:

"Old K is dead, this door may not work, unless... Unless one of us is willing to be its new master. ”

"I'm coming!"

Charles's heart was half cold when he heard this, but he didn't hesitate too much when he heard Mason say that it needed to be bound to use it, and reached out to hold the brass handle.

But he was caught by Mason's wrist.

He stared at the kite man and said very seriously:

"You know, once you're bound to it, you're joining the Stars! Before he died, Old K told me that the stars would not be a good thing! ”

"So what do we do?"

The kite man asked with some excitement:

"We can't go back without it! My children are still waiting for me, and I don't want to live in this dead world forever! Mason, would you like to spend the rest of your life surrounded by a horde of zombies? ”

Charles, who was all over the body, lowered his head, he was silent for a few seconds, and said:

"I owe you a life, I owe you a lot of favors, without you helping me, I guess I would have been used as cannon fodder a long time ago, it's not a joke that I think you are the boss.

I know what I have to do in this situation.

I also know you have concerns, so I'm here. ”

Mason looked at the kite man in front of him, he was silent for nearly ten seconds, shook his head, and said faintly:

"No, you're too vegetable, I guess you won't be able to hold on."

"You look down on me?"

Charles gritted his teeth and shouted.

But the next moment he saw a cloud of red light light light from the doorknob and quickly spread to Mason's wrist, leaving a strange ring sign on his forearm at the young man's cry of pain.

"You don't know the rules! Didn't the Penguin Man teach you how to be a big guy? ”

The kite man is really anxious now.

He tried to push Mason away from the doorknob, shouting:

"That's not what Gotham's gangsters do! It's the boss who has something to do with the younger brother, not the boss who takes the blame for the younger brother! You're going to be played to death in Gotham if you're so innocent, bastard! ”

"Don't worry!"

Mason, whose arm was shrouded in red light, gritted his teeth and pressed it on the kite man's shoulder, and he whispered:

"You have a share, too! Old K, that bastard, came here to rebuild the squad, so now we have to be a squad, too, to fulfill the pact he made with the Stars.

Fortunately, I saved you fool with kindness before, otherwise I would really be alone in this world for the rest of my life. ”

"That's it."

The kite man grinned.

Watching the red light on Mason's hand "flow" onto his shoulder, he laughed and said:

"Good people have good rewards, boss. Seriously, I saw at a sight that you were a good guy when we came over. But stop talking nonsense now, open the door, and let's go back.

I'm fed up with this hellish place! ”

"Hmm."

Glancing at the gleaming "Suspicion of an external force being inflicted by an external force" on the character card, Mason shook his head and twisted the lock.

Between the dim stars flickering, the light curtain leading to Gotham appeared in front of the new boss and the younger brother.

After being out for so long, it's really time to go home.
