24. Mason has no general, the devil is the vanguard - for the "prisoner on the throne" brother plus more [4/10]
Since engineering skills entered the new world of Lv5, the next two days have been uneventful.
Mason is like a young and dedicated office worker, only going back and forth between his own small shop and the clinic where he works every day, living a two-point and one-line life, so that the two Kanban girls who rent his house feel that this guy must have no entertainment in his daily life.
But there are a lot of things Mason can do to entertain himself.
He's gotten used to making all sorts of weird things to pass the time, and of course he's noticing the growing demonic surveillance power in the nearby corners with the Sorting Hat's reminder.
Demon Knight Jason Brad apparently didn't give up on roaming Gotham City, and through K-Team's internal communications, Mason had learned that there was similar surveillance near the Iceberg Bar.
This shows that the knight who is not easy to mess with has gradually locked on to the target.
It is not known how he did it, but the danger is undoubtedly close to Mason's gang.
The day before they were scheduled to enter the six-headed squad base world for a mission, Mason and his K-team had secretly made all the preparations to solve the problem once and for all.
"Jack, let's get started."
On the afternoon of his fifth day back to Gotham from Castle of the Stars, Mason leaves Dr. Leslie's office to say goodbye to little nurse Wendy and prepares to enjoy his weekend vacation.
As he rode the blue motorcycle, he pulled out the futuristic technology communicator that Judy had kindly gifted and called Captain Jack, who was getting ready at the Iceberg Bar.
Announce the start of the action!
Jack is the first guy to be targeted by the Demon Knight.
Mason has every reason to suspect that this prodigal pirate is Jason Bullard's breakthrough, and it's only fitting that he should carry out the mission of luring the enemy.
"You'll have to keep up."
Captain Jack, who drove a luxury car out of the underground garage of the Iceberg Bar, complained on the communicator:
"I never thought I'd be able to get involved with a damn demon in this way in my life, what the hell."
No one heeded his complaints, and everyone else had already made their way to the meeting place.
Kite Man and his two female assistants set off from Wayne Manor on a batmobile, and Erkeg and Zakang will set up to meet the enemy in the container base.
Mason had to go to the Gordon House to pick up Barbara and then ask the Director for a leave of absence.
The nominal reason is to take Barbara out on the weekend to take her mind out and make new friends by the way.
And thanks to seeing with his own eyes that his daughter has stepped out of the shadows and turned into sunshine again, Mason was not only not reprimanded by the old man Gordon, but was praised fiercely.
The body of the blue scooter drove away with Barbara with a safety helmet and her folding wheelchair, and Mason saw Director Gordon waving goodbye and reassuring in the rearview mirror.
He pursed his lips and whispered:
"If Gordon knew what I was going to take you for, he would definitely pull out his gun and fight with me. Speaking of which, haven't you been in touch with Grayson in the past few days?
If the Great Love Saint knew that Ling had recovered, he would be very happy, right? ”
"A little while."
Barbara, sitting in the car body, tinkered with the arm-mounted futuristic microcomputer given to her by her good friend Judy, and whispered:
"When I come back this time, I'm going to surprise him. Mason, this time I won't be on another mission anytime soon, right? ”
"Well, there should be at least half a month's break."
Mason looked around cautiously, and then at the Hell's Eye pin on his collar, which was not good, and said:
"Next is the first forced exploration mission of Team K, I asked Judy about the mission, and she told me that with the current strength of Team K, it will be a little more difficult to deal with, but it should be able to be completed smoothly."
"Mason! I saw a taxi following me all the time! ”
As soon as the young man finished speaking, Captain Jack screamed.
He shouted:
"That bastard must be stalking me! I've watched a lot of spy movies of your time these days, and that's how they are played in the movies! ”
"Calm down, keep driving towards the dock."
Mason admonished.
Needless to say, Barbara in the car has skillfully "hacked" into the bat network with her new equipment, and with the help of the old man's surveillance equipment all over the city, she found Captain Jack who was driving a car in the city.
"There's indeed a taxi following Jack."
Barbara put on a special headset and took over Team K's communications, saying to the rest of the team:
"Jack! I'll plan your route, and then follow my instructions. Others will be at the meeting point within 10 minutes! Jason, how's it going on your side? ”
"Konstantin is setting up something I don't understand, but it's definitely evil."
The gloomy voice of the second barrel then sounded, and the report said:
"I'm monitoring Port Miller and I've not seen anyone who seems to be a target."
"Keep monitoring."
Barbara is very professional in switching communications, and when Mason twisted the handlebar to rush the small motorcycle into the sky, she followed Jack's forward route and gave instructions to the other team members:
"Charles, bypass the Ottosburg district ahead of you and enter the docks over the island of Naiho. In addition, your jetpack data shows that you may be overweight, try not to do dangerous flight maneuvers. ”
"Roger, Barbara."
The Kite Man's voice rang out in the team's internal communication, with a hint of grumbling:
"I don't know why two skinny-looking ladies are so heavy. Yes! Sorry, I shouldn't have said it, don't hit the head! This is flying in the sky!
You two crazy women, be quiet! ”
Barbara grinned and reported to the last member:
"Selena, you'll need to stop and check your batmobile. I'm here to show you that there are at least three monitors working in your car, one of which belongs to Bruce and the remaining two are unknown.
You're being followed. ”
"It must be the haunting little kid!"
Catwoman complained fiercely:
"Damian has been pestering me to take him to meet you, Mason, he's interested in our squad. You'll have to take the time to meet my kid, or I'll be annoyed by his little gestures. ”
"I promised his mother that she would take care of him."
Mason, who was soaring through the sky with flying goggles, whispered:
"Recruiting a twelve-year-old into an organization that needs to work hard in various worlds is not good at taking care of him. Jason, would you be interested in bringing a drag oil bottle?
After all, theoretically, that kid is yours too."
"Fack! Mason! Shut up! ”
The second barrel viciously interrupted what Mason was about to say.
More than ten seconds later, the second bucket said in a cold tone:
"I've seen Jack and the taxi following him, it's about two thousand five hundred meters away, can I shoot? I'm not going to miss this distance. ”
"Stay there!"
Zakang, who had not spoken, joined the comms, and the black mage warned in a voice that did not lift his spirits:
"Brad wouldn't die even if he was shot in the head with a sniper bullet from you, but it would expose our plan. Next is the communication silence, everyone listen!
The Demon Knight's perception range is very large.
He could easily hear our communication once he entered the docks, so he went ahead with the plan! I forcibly stimulated Brad into his demonic form, and the others gave me time to cast spells to get his attention.
This job is dangerous.
You'd better not try to melee it, and beware of being burned to death by the Hellfire wrapped in the body of the superior demon. ”
"Roger!"
The communicator echoed the others' responses, and Barbara turned off the team's communications, and Mason had already seen the outline of Miller Harbor at sunset.
He glanced at the bat girl in the car and saw that she was pulling a uniquely shaped black shotgun from her backpack.
Its minimalist design and the iconic ring grip represent where it comes from.
"Judy is really good to you, sending a computer and a gun."
Mason said in a sour tone:
"I'm starting to get annoyed why I'm not a pretty girl anymore, are you in a relationship? Barbara, you know it's going to make Grayson very sad. ”
"Shut up, Mason, it's not what you think."
Barbara snorted, skillfully loaded the kinetic shotgun of futuristic technology, and said to Mason:
"I borrowed it from Judy and will pay it back later. Judy also said that she could help me implant some intelligent prostheses and teach me hacking techniques from their time. To be honest, I'm a little excited. ”
"Then you'd better not be distracted."
Mason lowered the height of the motorcycle and whispered a warning:
"The implantable prosthetic they use from the age of 2077 is harmful to the body.
Ordinary people in those days were always treated as consumables, and Judy was born there and thought it was normal, but I didn't want my team to come into contact with those dangerous things. ”
"No, Mason."
Barbara shook her head and said:
"If I volunteer to join Team K and want to help the world in distress, then I have to make some sacrifices for it, Judy described their mission scenario to me, and I am not strong enough to join such a dangerous confrontation right now.
And I don't want me to be a breakthrough and a shortcoming of Team K.
Besides, isn't there still you as an alchemist?
I'm sure you can always minimize the damage of prosthetic implants. ”
"Gordon is going to kill me, and I don't want my squishy girlfriend to have more weird metal pieces in her body."
Mason, who had no dignity as a captain, said in a complaining tone:
"So for the sake of my life, you'd better think about it again."
After saying that, he twisted the handlebars to let the flying motorcycle fly low, and when he crossed the commanding heights where the two barrels were, Mason opened his bag and dropped two pistols and a sniper, and when he staggered past the kite man, he threw the complex folding light machine gun to him.
The scooter glides into another container in a great position, and Mason and Barbara jump out of the car to form a blocking position.
The Batgirl was holding a shotgun, and Mason inserted a black-and-gray kinetic revolver into his waist, and pulled out a precision rifle with his backhand and half-knelt on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, Team K completed the refitting and formed a firepower network on the road to the container base.
In front of them, Captain Jack's luxury car had come all the way to the dust, and the taxi following him was unabashedly following him.
In that yellow taxi, the expressionless Demon Knight Jason Brad had apparently spotted Team K in front of him. But he didn't care.
He was even in the mood to take a sip of the coffee in his hand, and then slammed on the accelerator and hit it in the direction of the blocker.
He had confirmed that the mysterious creatures in front of him were definitely related to the previous invaders from the other world.
Now that Batman is not in Gotham, it's a good opportunity to capture.
As for how to get them to tell the truth, this is not something that the Demon Knight needs to consider.
The high-ranking demon in his body was already irritable, and he just took this opportunity to let it soothe the suppressed violence in his heart.
"Bang"
Lying on the high ground, the second barrel of the high-tech heavy sniper was the first to fire.
The fully charged bullet hit the cab's hood with precision, easily piercing the engine and making it smoke black, and Captain Jack, who was running wildly, pulled away and rushed into the container area in front of him.
The two female pirates waiting there were fully armed, and after Jack got out of the car, they threw two quasar pistols to him and began to retreat underground.
As for the Demon Knight, Shi Shiran walked out of the scrapped taxi, and as soon as he got out of the car, he raised his hand violently and grabbed the second bullet from the second barrel aimed at his head.
This cool action made the eyes of the two buckets widen.
Eldest brother!
This is a charged and accelerated sniper bullet!
It's easy to overturn an elephant with one shot!
You can still catch the impact at this speed, and it's not like that! You're absolutely, right?
A sulphur-smelling flame burst out in the Demon Knight's hand, instantly melting and twisting the pointed bullet and smashing it to the ground with his hand, just like a provocation.
He moved his body, still striding forward in his old dark red trench coat, as if nothing could stop the guy from grabbing the mysterious man in front of him.
"Ordinary bullets are useless to him, and Zakang said that this guy has the ability to predict and can dodge the trajectory in advance."
Mason held the technical rifle "Widowmaker", and in the sound of the charging device in this rifle, he whispered to Barbara beside him:
"So we've got to have some unusual 'bullets.'"
"Bang"
Charged precision rifle fires.
The engineering bullets that flew out of the chamber flew towards the Demon Knight, who sensed the danger and wanted to dodge sideways, but Mason's non-martial gun had two accelerating muzzles and could fire two bullets at a time.
The first one was knocked off, but the second shot instantly opened a bloody hole in his chest.
Then the power of the cold erupted in the bullets that entered the body, not cursed bullets, but frozen bullets made of Heart of Ice pearls.
In an instant, half of the Demon Knight's body was frozen.
"Hit!"
Mason gave the order.
Powerful firepower shot from the left and right sides and the sky, and the destructive power of the guns made by Future Technology was amazing, and the Demon Knight who hit him in the blink of an eye was covered in blood.
The most exaggerated is the kite man suspended in mid-air.
Holding his "new toy" in both hands, the square muzzle of the kinetic light machine gun, nicknamed "The Defender", rained down with a furious rate of fire.
A magazine was emptied in seconds.
But the recoil of this thing is amazing, even when shooting at full force after Mason's transformation, and only a guy like Kite Man who can adjust his position in the air can use it well.
In order to restrain the dangerous and powerful Demon Knight Mason, he made a bloody investment, and the freezing bullets of an entire magazine froze the Demon Knight and the range of several meters around him.
To be honest, if it weren't for the convenient batch production of refining arrays just now, Mason would have had to make it by hand for two hours for the shuttle bullet that the kite man had just cooled.
But seeing that the scorching fire was already raging in the frozen land, Mason stopped shooting and shouted towards the communicator:
"John, hurry up!"
"Don't rush, isn't it right away?"
Zakon's roar then rang out, and in the strange cacophony of chanting, a twisted cloud of magic locked onto the Demon Knight, who was frozen to the ground.
It's like a master key.
Brutally forced and temporarily cut off his suppression of the demon in his body in Jason Brad's angry roar.
"John Constantine! You're killing yourself! ”
The fierce, scorching flames of Hell erupted in place, and the hoarse howl of the Demon Knight melted the nearby ice like a swirling pillar of fire.
The thousand-year-old knight's human form quickly dissolved in the flames.
Instead, it was a behemoth nearly four meters tall, with a red body and a mouth spitting flames.
"Ahh The day of the silence of the human form, when the demonic nature awakens! Where do you run? Kill all evil and never forgive. ”
The moment it appeared and descended in a very symmetrical ode-like demonic voice, the temperature of the entire container area began to rise rapidly.
The big guy with eyes like a burning light bulb roared wildly, like a moving magma beast, smashing through everything in its path and rushing out in the direction of Zakkang.
It almost disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Only one container remained, which had been knocked open and melted down and still collapsed.
"The decoy mission is complete! Zakang has steadied his hatred and let that raging demon wreak havoc in the other world. ”
Mason put away his gun, pinched his nose, and shouted to his teammates, who were still in a state of stupor, because they had seen demons with their own eyes, amid the foul smell of sulfur flames:
"Team K, change your outfit and go! A new world awaits us. ”
