Mason's heart suddenly broke when he heard Mr. Hunter say that the mission was to be advanced, and when he heard the other party say that this mission was going to be carried out in the last coordinate world of the World Gate, his mentality was a little broken.

The main thing is that they have just returned from Old Peter's world, and this "traitor execution" has made everyone haggard and has not had a good rest, and Selena has encountered a symbiote crisis and has no way to act until she recovers.

At this time, it is easy to run into unplanned situations when performing mandatory tasks.

That's something Mason has been trying to avoid.

Mr. Hunter seemed to sense Mason's concern, and instead of persuading, she said the content of the mission very directly.

"I don't let you fight, and you don't have to set foot in the area of death, I also know the situation of Team K, so I deliberately chose that assassin world.

All you have to do is go inside and look for a specific area to unlock a piece of information.

If you're lucky, you'll be back one day."

"Huh?"

Hearing the content of the mission made Mason raise an eyebrow, and he immediately thought of what he had gotten from Old Teague earlier.

After rummaging through his bag for a few seconds, he took the "Odin's Golden Apple" in his hand, an Isu creature that shone warmly in the light of the shop, and the unique lines on it revealed a mysterious feeling.

"You mean that?"

Mason brought the golden apple to Mr. Hunter, saying:

"It's said that this thing was brought out of that world last time, and it was about a secret mission, and he was going to go there again, but it turned out..."

"Well, that's it."

Mr. Hunter reached out and placed the golden apple in his hand, and she said in a complicated tone:

"It's a secret mission from the Gquint Society.

There are legends that have been passed down from that Assassin world, and it is said that there were 'gods' in the ancient times of that world, and those 'gods' made predictions about the catastrophe of the parallel world system.

This kind of gossip has always been difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

But for us, even the smallest possibility needs to be verified.

So Old K was asked to go in there to find the traces of those gods, and he paid the price of the total destruction of the team to find the golden apple, but this thing needs a specific area to unlock the hidden information inside.

That's what you're going to do with this forced exploration mission.

Mason, go to that world and find a device that can unlock the Golden Apple's information, and bring back the hidden messages inside.

It's really not as difficult as you think."

"It doesn't sound that hard."

Mason rubbed his chin and stared at the golden apple in Mr. Hunter's hand.

From her words, Mason could tell that Mr. Hunter and even the stars didn't know much about the truth about the "world of assassins", at least not as much as he did.

There are many more "golden apples" like this in that world.

Moreover, the Isu people, the ancient civilization that existed in that world, were not "gods", although there was no doubt that they had mastered all kinds of ultra-advanced black technologies and gods.

But these are really two very different things and should not be confused.

"Is there anything else I need to be aware of?"

Mason asked, pretending to be stupid.

"Yes, and quite a lot."

Mr. Hunter returned the golden apple to Mason, and she said: ....

"'The Assassin World' was discovered by accident during a routine expedition seven months ago, as its peculiarities make it an open area like the 'Magical Creature World'.

That world is rich in artifacts and ancient knowledge from the ancient god era, so after it appeared, many B-class personnel would stop there to find usable weapons and equipment.

We have a 'safe zone' where it has been exploited.

If Team K is in trouble, they can go there for help, but of course, there is a cost to this kind of private employment between teams and teams.

I'm sure you can understand that."

"Oh? A communal

The world?"

Mason raised an eyebrow, and he said:

"That is, if necessary, we can even hire someone else to help us along the way, and just sit back and enjoy the results?"

"If you can afford to pay the commission, of course you can."

Mr. Hunter rolled his eyes and said:

"But I think it's a little difficult to hire those B-class squads with your current financial resources.

However, if you make up your mind to do so, I will not stop you, as long as you can bring back the information in this golden apple, even if your pioneering mission is completed.

But, Mason, what I'm telling you is that the 'Assassin World' may not be as simple as it seems.

Old K's exploration in it last time encountered a very dangerous situation, and according to his report afterwards, there are some hidden dangerous forces in that world in addition to the superficial forces.

It's like there is a distinction between the 'surface world' and the 'inner world' in some supernatural worlds, for example, this golden apple does not belong to the realm where it is superficial.

I guess you're going to be targeted if you enter that world with this thing, so there's still a danger.

The advice I can give you is the sooner the better.

Don't stay there too long."

Mason nodded.

He looked at the golden apple in his hand and asked:

"If you've been sure that there is a hidden power in that B-class world, and even prophecies circulating about this parallel world crisis, then why not conduct a large-scale reconnaissance or full-scale stationing there?

I think if that prophecy is true, the importance of this world is far higher than that of ordinary A-class worlds, right?

Isn't it worth starting a major invasion war?"

"It's just a B-class world, Mason. Its power system makes it difficult for it to work miracles, and you can spot danger and you can solve crises are two completely different concepts."

Mr. Hunter shook his head and said:

"There are similar precedents in previous expeditions, and in some worlds with magical legacy, there are also 'Prophets,' and the like who predicted that the impact event would happen in the future.

But they are invariably unable to respond effectively to this, so it is not worth it for the stars to make a big deal about it.

We still have a lot of A-class worlds that we haven't figured out.

Besides, we found out that it has only been seven months now, and the current operation against that world is still in the stage of reconnaissance and intelligence gathering.

Large-scale promotion and excavation will wait until the follow-up plan is implemented. ….

Secondly, the matter of the golden apple is only confirmed in the 'we'.

I can be sure that some of the senior members of the Stellar Society have also secretly investigated that world under orders from the higher-ups, and in fact this investigation has not been interrupted since we discovered it.

It's just that no one else has been able to bring anything of value out of there except for Old K.

In the manner of the superior institutions of the Stellar Society, once it is confirmed that the information in the Golden Apple is indeed useful, the Assassin world will immediately be plunged into an unstoppable war of destruction.

That's not what I want to see.

If that world does harbor doomsday prophecies and defenses from the ancient gods, we would rather work with them to find a way to defend against the crisis.

and not to snatch those things at the cost of destruction."

She paused and said to Mason:

"So regardless of whether the information you unlock is useful or not, the contents of this operation must be kept completely confidential. If it leaks, Mason, I'm not going to punish you.

But all the wars and sufferings in that world caused by your inaction are your responsibility. I don't think you want to see a world in crisis because of you, do you?"

"Well, it sounds like a lot of responsibility and a debt of conscience."

Mason grinned.

He put away the golden apple,

Nodding to Mr. Hunter, he said:

"I'll be as careful as I can, is there a time requirement for this pioneering mission?"

"A standard development cycle, which is a five-day period."

Mr. Hunter gestured and said:

"But as I said, the sooner for your safety, the better.

Of course, as I said earlier, the world of Assassins has always been rich in very good ancient weapons and equipment, such as Old K's Sujie Eagle.

If you still have the strength left, you can do it.

If I need to, I can give you some clues, I heard that Abstergo, the largest pharmaceutical company in the Assassin world, has a pretty good collection of ancient weapons.

However, because too many pioneer teams have their eyes on them, the defense system there is already very tight, and it is difficult to break through for the current strength of Team K.

So let's wait until you're officially B-class before you go on an expedition."

After saying that, Mr. Hunter took out a pocket watch and looked at the time, she turned to leave, and waved her hand to make a silver curtain of light, but as she walked into it, she turned back to Mason and said:

"One last suggestion for you. Don't make a fuss when you stay in that world, where it's codenamed 'Assassin's World', because they've played with this unique legacy.

According to our statistics, a third of the people in that world are in the Assassin or related professions, and at least 4 out of 10 people who throw a brick on the road are likely to be killers.

Because of this, even if the power system of that world is not outstanding among all B-class worlds, its danger is no different from that of ordinary A-class worlds.

Ever since it was discovered and a pioneer team entered, there have been a number of high-level pioneers who have been inexplicably killed in one of them. ….

After all, no matter how much you can fight, you can't stand a swarm roundup in a city full of killers who want to kill you except you, and their organization is so vigilant and tight that it is almost impossible to infiltrate it in a short period of time.

The two previous 'Pollution Operations' were detected and countered in the first phase, which is one of the reasons why the Stars have never made up their minds to launch a large-scale operation against it.

It's just too cost-effective to launch a full-scale invasion of a B-class world.

So remember to keep it low-key, Mason."

"Thanks for the reminder."

Mason nodded and replied very seriously, and Mr. Hunter disappeared into the light curtain, leaving him alone in his shop.

The young man looked at the golden apple in his hand, and then thought of his own understanding of this thing and the world system, and suddenly couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

He now had a suspicion that the Stars might not have really realized the origins of the legacy in the Assassin world.

"Given the level of technology of the Isu and the strange things they left behind, the current rating of this Assassin world in the Stars Society is a bit too low.

There's got to be something wrong with that."

Mason rubbed his forehead, put away the golden apple, and sent a message to his teammates.

Certainly not all of them.

Considering the uniqueness and danger of this mission, he felt that the fewer people who went, the better.

Selena is still recuperating.

The Kite Man helps Poison Ivy get familiar with the environment at Hogwarts and finds palladium for Mason to make energy batteries, but the Jack trio's force can't cope with the challenges of the B-class world.

Therefore, in this operation, he decided to bring only Zakang and two barrels over.

However, when he waited for the assembly an hour later, he was surprised to see that Barbara was among them.

"What are you doing here?"

Mason was surprised and said:

"Aren't you supposed to accompany Judy on a trip to Gotham?"

"Judy doesn't need me to accompany her, and with her ability to hack into any network in the world at any time, Gotham is just a playground for her to be chaotic

Finish.

She's helping Lady Elizabeth with the Glacier Bar, supposedly to develop an entertainment called 'Mewtwo.'

The bat girl rubbed her sideburns, which had been bulldozed, and said:

"I just finished the 'upgrade, Mason. I figured I should find a place to test my current ability cap to adjust my fighting style.

I just heard from Jason that there was a surprise action, so I came over."

"Think about it! As a result, you've put dangerous things in your head!"

Mason glared at Barbara fiercely.

But since this was her own choice, Mason didn't say too much, and just used the alchemist's technique to help Barbara check her body.

The prosthetic modification that has been circulating in the world of 2077 is already quite mature technology, and even this kind of stuffing components into the brain will not cause a health crisis.

At least Mason didn't check out more hidden dangers.

The second bucket next to him also looked worried.

He, like Mason, is a "conservative" in this regard, and has a lot of criticism about Barbara's choice. ….

Ten minutes later, an ugly-looking Zakang appeared in the green portal with a cigarette butt in his mouth.

He looked dead, but it wasn't just because Mason's sudden summons interrupted his and Xiao Za you and me in the two-person world, in fact, they had a fight last night and separated again.

There are many reasons why this guy is in a bad mood.

For example, the bad news he brought:

"The good news is that Brad's letter has earned the trust of the bigwigs, and they didn't suspect us.

The bad news is that the bastards have locked down Gotham City again.

So after we finally get rid of the Demon Knight, it's likely that more troublesome enemies will lurk here, and our situation still hasn't changed much.

If we had known this, we should have let Brad come back with us, and we wouldn't be afraid of anything if we had someone to take care of."

Speaking of this, Zhakang spat out the smoke ring fiercely, touched his arm, and said:

"And I found a potion to erase the camouflage magic in Xiaozha's bedside table, and I now strongly suspect that I may have been exposed.

I asked her, and she didn't tell the truth, and I got into a big fight and I was kicked out of the mystery house.

Damn it!

It's all your fault, Mason."

"Don't put any on my head."

Mason, who was applying hair growth tonic to Barbara's sideburns, pouted without raising his head and said:

"It's obvious that you can't manage your relationship well, what does it have to do with me? Besides, if it's exposed, it's exposed? What's the big deal, I now seriously doubt that Batman probably knew who we were a long time ago.

It's just that he kept hiding it and didn't want to say it.

Waiting for an opportunity, perhaps?

Never mind.

This would leave that to mention.

Let's take a look at this mission first."

He shook his head, introduced the content of this mandatory mission to the people around him, and repeated Mr. Hunter's instructions in their original form.

The expressions on the faces of the three of them are not very good-looking.

"Unlocking something that looks like a big deal in a world full of killers, and saying it's a simple task, I think everyone in the Stars Society is sick in the head!"

Zakang complained:

"What's the difference between that and death? Maybe we'll be blown away by a bunch of killers just after we pass by, and you've said that the world isn't as simple as it seems.

I now suspect that Mr. Hunter is retaliating because we caused trouble on the old spider's side.

Do you think he plans to take this opportunity to make us disappear from the world?"

"It's possible, but it's unlikely."

Mason shrugged his shoulders and said:

"I have my ideas for this pioneering mission, and if all goes well, we do

It can be done in a day or two and safely withdrawn.

This time, you must follow the command and work, the point is not to cause extraneous branches, as long as it does not cause the Assassin world's inner strength, it is not a big problem.

Without further ado, get ready and go now.".
