As soon as Mason crossed the world's gate and returned to Gotham, the disguised school hat on his head immediately alerted him.

"A suppressed and deeply hidden burning force is approaching, and it is the gaze that has just been paying attention to this place, and it is immediately action, Mason! Hide the world's gates until that being arrives. ”

"It's easy."

The young man took out his suitcase, which he never left, opened it and threw the door of the world back into his bag, but then the hat on his head prompted:

"That's not enough! The aftermath of time travel is still there, and if it can't be erased, it can only be disguised. Put your hand in my stomach, Mason, I've got something here to help you. ”

"Your four-dimensional pocket is so handy."

Mason took off his hat and whispered:

"Actually, I think it's a hassle to always bring a suitcase, and I suddenly had a bold idea, do you think I can do it?"

"Can't!"

Before the young man could finish speaking, he was rejected by the cold hat.

The school hat twisted its "body" and created a vague face on the hat and scolded:

"My storage magic is only used for emergencies, not for messing around! Don't want to put your rags into my body.

Although I am down, I also have a sense of dignity. ”

Its vehement rejection of Mason's bold idea made the young man pout, and Mason reached out from his hat to find something like a broken golden pocket watch as if by magic.

Its delicate dial is inlaid with a small hourglass, like a chronograph, but that hourglass itself is broken, and a lot of the grit in it has been lost.

Mason recognized the thing at a glance:

Expired time converters

Quality: Epic Engineering/Inscription/Enchantment/Alchemy Item, Perfect Craft

Item Effect: Turn the timer back in time, rewinding an hour with each turn.

Item Status: Due to the broken timer and the severe loss of the sand, this item is no longer valid. Rebuilding requires Engineering Lv6 and an ounce of Sands of Time.

Maker: Department of Criminal Investigation Services, Ministry of Magical Affairs

Item Description: Ever heard of the "Grandmother Paradox"? Don't be afraid, that thing is deceiving, and the nature of time is much more complicated than that.

"Why is everything in your stomach so bad?"

Mason complained:

"So you have a hobby of picking up trash in addition to assigning new students to colleges?"

"Quiet! and Mr. Ben's refusal to answer this unseemly question. ”

The school hat scolded, and was about to teach Mason how to use the broken time-turner to disguise the scene, when suddenly let out a puzzled snort.

It says:

"The force stopped, someone stopped it, just three blocks away."

Mason glanced down at the pin on his collar, the Helleye pendant was glowing, and he reached out and tapped, and Zakon's voice came from it.

"Listen to me, Brad, that's my place in this city, and I may have left some dangerous things in it. I don't think you need to go and see it for yourself.

Man, don't you still trust my long-time friend? ”

Zakang seemed to be talking to someone, which made Mason raise an eyebrow.

There is no doubt that this is Za Kang deliberately giving himself a reminder to hurry up and cooperate. Mason rolled his eyes and immediately took out his mobile phone, but did not call it immediately, but waited for nearly half a minute before dialing Zakang's phone.

At the same time, three blocks away, wearing a crumpled khaki trench coat and holding a cigarette, he was talking to a tall, silent man, and he took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, then looked at the indifferent man opposite, picked it up and turned it on, and the sound was played.

"Master Konstantin!"

Mason's frightened voice came from it, and he shouted:

"The magical items you left in the lab are vibrating, come back and take a look!"

Za Kang's face was expressionless, but in fact, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

sighed again and again that Mason is really reliable, and it is always reassuring to hand over things to him. He quietly spat out the smoke ring, and said impatiently:

"Enough! You stupid minion, it was a mistake for me to introduce you into my realm in the first place, didn't I teach you what to do with that thing?

Leave me alone!

I'm chatting with my dear best friend. ”

"You've taught."

Mason's voice became even more frightened, and he said:

"But it's glowing, it's still buzzing, it broke once, but I swear I didn't touch it out of curiosity, anyway, you might as well come back and take a look."

Za Kang frowned, glanced at the indifferent tall man opposite, turned off his mobile phone and said to this guy:

"Come with me to see? Brad, if something really happened to the space-time disturbance that I made the other day to monitor the city, you're going to have to go up to it. ”

"You're always going to get in trouble, John."

The man in a red suit, his black hair was meticulously combed, and his body was muscular, and his hands were in his pockets, and he said in a cold voice with an expressionless face:

"I hate everything about you, but if they see Gotham as my area, then I have to make sure there's no threat here.

Lead the way!

John, let's go to your place and have a look.

You'd better not have anything to do with it!

You've also been in the mystery room, and you know how important and troublesome it can be. ”

At this point, the tall man paused, and a dark glow flashed in his black and white eyes, and he added:

"But personally, I would love to have you involved, and I would have liked to have caught you and thrown you into the dark dungeon of Nimu, where I could hear you scream and wail.

Only then can the debts you owe me be written off. ”

"Collect your demonic aura, Brad, look at the evil smell in this sentence is about to overflow."

As he took off his pipe drawing magic, he rolled his eyes and said:

"You're in human form now! Do you think it's boring to be a person anymore and plan to go back to your old job? Don't make a fuss, your hellish territory has already been carved up by your enemies.

You are now, like me, the 'persona non grata' in the nine layers of hell. ”

A green portal opened, and Zakang popped out a cigarette and walked into it, followed by the tall man behind him.

The two landed one after the other in the office on the top floor of the Iceberg Bar.

As soon as Zakang came in, he exchanged glances with Mason, who nodded slightly to him and gestured to the things on the table.

Konstantin immediately calmed down.

It seems that Mason has foreseen the danger and prepared everything in advance, well, it is really reassuring and reassuring to have such a partner.

"The aura of space-time disorder is faint but does exist, and my feeling is correct."

The tall man who followed Zakang into the office frowned and sniffed, and then his eye-catching eyes looked at Mason, the "servant" who was following Zakang with low eyebrows.

Then, his eyes were drawn to what Zakang had picked up from the table.

"Alas, my alchemy is still not at home, look at this thing, it is broken before it is officially used."

Konstantin picked up the dead time-turner and stroked it with a sad face, as if something had really gone wrong with something he had carefully crafted.

He threw the thing in his hand to the man in front of him, who examined it carefully in his hand.

This is obviously a magical figure as well.

He touched his fingers to the hidden inscription on the appearance of the time turner, and then carefully discerned the small hourglass that was obviously treated with alchemy, and finally stretched out his finger and poured out the faint sands of time and placed it in front of his eyes.

After a few minutes like this, the man shook his head and threw the time turner back to Zakang, saying:

"It should be the leakage of the Sands of Time that caused the space-time here to be faintly distorted. Well, John, you've escaped again. But I warn you!

Don't do any more of your dangerous deeds in this city!

At least not now.

I'll keep an eye on you. ”

With that, the tall man glanced at Mason, who had been keeping his head down and maintaining a servant posture, and he strode towards the exit of the office and pushed the door and walked out.

The portal he had left behind was still running, but he was blind to the more convenient things.

"Shh

Konstantin silenced Mason, he waved his finger and popped out a few points of light as if some kind of detection, and it was not until several minutes later that he breathed a sigh of relief and whispered:

"The superior demon in Jason Bullard can help him sense any information within at least five blocks, and being targeted by that bastard is pretty bad.

They're really going to pick someone to ask this guy to help, and we're going to be more subtle in the future, Mason.

This place can't be used. ”

"Jason Bullard? The legendary 'Demon Knight'? ”

Mason blinked and said:

"Isn't he usually in California? Why did you suddenly come to Gotham? ”

"He didn't come out of nowhere, he's actually been in Gotham for over a year."

Zakang spit out a smoke ring and played with the broken time converter in his hand, and he naturally put this thing into his arms, and explained to Mason with his arms crossed:

"Brad has a bad relationship with the demon inside him. They have been entangled for more than 1,500 years, and they have long been tired of each other, and every once in a while he has to find some villains or evil spirits to kill in order to satisfy the killing desire of the demons in his body.

I ask you, what better place to do this than Gotham?

Although there is no evidence, I am almost certain that there is a collaboration between Brad and Batboy!

The night the League of Assassins attacked Gotham, I guess the demon inside him was so happy, otherwise it wouldn't be so quiet today. ”

"That demon is supposedly called Itregan?"

Mason asked.

As a result, he was glared at by Za Kang fiercely and said:

"Don't name the devil here! Don't say the demon's name anywhere! You're making trouble for yourself, but luckily it's just a transliteration.

Its real name is much more complicated than that.

Listen, Mason, that's what I'm going to tell you next.

We're in trouble.

Big trouble! ”

Konstantin sighed and said:

"The whole world of magic users with heads and faces, and even some of the most unworthy of the table, have been summoned to the Mystery House.

Doctor Fate, Black Adam, and Lady Shangdu were all in attendance, and even the new generation of super wizards like Xiaozha were assistants to them.

They spent most of the day announcing to us that the entire world was divided into thirteen zones, with a group of different guys leading a group of people to monitor and detect any disturbances in space.

Brad is one of the three Spotters in charge of the East Coast, the others being Smallza and Shazam.

Xiao Zha said.

I've been convinced.

Shazam doesn't have to worry either.

That guy has no brains.

The only one who is more troublesome is Jason Bullard, you have to watch out for him. The attack of the Stellar Society has clearly triggered a counterattack from this world, and we will have to be human with our tails between our legs until this magical regulation is over. ”

Mason frowned at the bad news he brought back, but then he realized a loophole.

He squinted at Zakang and said faintly:

"You went for two days, and then you said it only took half a day to have a meeting? Why didn't you tell me the news just after the meeting?

What are you doing the rest of the time? ”

"Uh, didn't I say that?"

Konstantin pouted and said:

"I helped us 'convince' Xiaozha.

Okay, I'll admit I may have wasted some time, but we both coped well with this 'surprise attack', and it worked together perfectly.

By the way, why does your hat feel weird?

Let me see! ”

The handy Zakang didn't wait for Mason to stop him, and reached out and put it on the disguised school hat.

The good-tempered hat obviously didn't like it to be touched, and the moment John's hand touched the hat, a gray-black lightning bolt struck the black magician.

The latter screamed and fell to the ground with a throb.

"What a Drill Heart Curse!"

Mason exclaimed, ignoring the pain and instead bent down to take the time turner back from his arms and put it in his pocket.

He put his camouflage hat on his head and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of his office to look out at the city at dusk.

He whispered:

"You may not know the names of the people you represent, but I can only tell you that they are the top spellcasters in this world.

Do you have what it takes to help us continue to use the World Gate right under their noses?

I know it's a lot of work, but if you want me to help you hunt down those traitors."

"Mason, young man, your understanding of magic is too shallow."

The old, slow voice of the school hat sounded in the young man's head, and it said:

"Power is power, knowledge is knowledge!

These are two unrelated realms, and even though I have lost most of my power, that valuable knowledge is still enough to help you hide in this crisis.

Without further ado.

Let's get started now. ”

As it spoke, a large piece of obscure information came to Mason's mind, and the character card in front of him flashed a few times, and then a prompt popped up:

"Detection of external forces intervening to identify high-level enchantment/inscription knowledge transfer new blueprint X25 unlocked."

"It's a bit complicated, and I struggled to understand it."

Mason looked at the enchantment and inscription recipes in front of him, and he frowned and said:

"It's a bit difficult for me to do it on my own."

"I'll teach you by hand."

The school cap reminds us to:

"And don't you have an assistant?

The prodigal son was a very talented soul, and if he had not been born at Hogwarts, he would not have been able to enter Hogwarts with his character.

Woohoo, that's a nasty soul born with Azkaban!

But he can really help. ”

——

Wayne Manor, on the outskirts of Gotham City, was visited by a special guest near dusk.

"Mr. Brad, you're a rarity."

The old butler Alfred himself received the cold-faced guest, who was preparing tonight's tranquilizer for Master Damian in the manor, as Mason had instructed.

And the whole process made the visiting demon knight raise an eyebrow.

After watching Ah Fu's skillful potion mixture in silence, he asked:

"Where did these drugs come from? Ordinary people don't have access to this mystical knowledge, and just by smelling the smell I can confirm that these drugs come from a rather ancient lineage. ”

"It was made by a friend of ours for Master Damian."

Ah Fu seemed to trust the man in front of him.

He picked up the pink potion mixture, and said politely:

"It's very useful, the mania and gloom of the little master have faded too much. Mr. Wayne is having dinner with a lady, and you may need to wait a moment, Mr. Brad. ”

"It's okay, I've always been patient."

Brad looked at the potion in Ah Fu's hand and responded expressionlessly:

"And I'm more interested in the origin of these potions now, when did there be an alchemist in the city? Can you introduce him to me?

Alfred Pennyworth."

The man paused and whispered:

"For the sake of your ancestors' friendship with me."
