Mason, who was once again standing at the gates of the world, took a deep breath.

From the very beginning of his reborn life, it was entangled with the strange thing in front of him and seemed to be able to be separated from it, and it was almost a part of his new life.

The three people behind him didn't feel so much, they were all armed and checking their equipment.

Erdou and Zakang are still wearing Mason's imitation bat-like suits, but Barbara has changed into a special black jumpsuit this time, which is covered with various data sockets and modules and cables for quick invasion, and micro LED lights are dotted all over the clothes, making this simple thing look full of a sense of "futuristic".

This is the hacker suit that Judy gave her.

It is the favorite equipment of hackers in the world of 2077, which not only improves the efficiency of invasion operations, but also cools the body when necessary to avoid the bad consequences caused by overheating of intelligent prosthetics.

"Judy said that I should also do arm modifications to install monomolecular wires or ballistic launchers, and if I want to use smart weapons, I have to install smart connections in the palm of my hand.

In addition to the current implanted operating system, an additional frontal cortex RAM management device should be connected.

However, these things have to be taken step by step, and I can only move on to the next step after my body has adapted to the operating system and the electronic access pod and no longer produces too many rejection reactions. ”

Barbara described her "upgrade plan" to Erdou and Zakang, and the two big men who listened to it felt a toothache.

"You'd better take it easy."

Mason didn't like the Batgirl's transformation plan at all, and he took out a box and placed it in front of the three of them, which contained several rings, studs, and accessories for the collar pin.

They are all magic ornaments loaded with gravity, which he took the time to make before leaving, which can be regarded as a temporary armament upgrade.

He glared at Barbara and said:

"Judy should have told you that the more prosthetics are installed, the greater the effect on the human body, and I have never thought that this way of sacrificing health for power is very advanced.

If you do turn yourself into a 'doll doll,' Gordon and Grayson will know how uncomfortable it will be. ”

"Isn't there still a Ling? Mason. ”

Barbara didn't care.

She put a bat-shaped earring on her left ear and waved her hand nonchalantly and said:

"You are a master of alchemy, and I believe that with the power of your magic potion, I will be able to live a strange life with a strange component until the day I die."

"I can't do that."

Mason pouted, and then heard Barbara's long voice say:

"Hey, that's not what a responsible captain should say, isn't it right for you, as the captain, to take care of us team members?

Gordon is still your guardian, you should call me sister, Mason.

See, that way you have two better reasons to protect me, right? ”

"I really owe you in my last life!"

Mason rolled his eyes, took a bottle of "Special White Honey" from his potion belt, handed it to Barbara, and said:

"Originally, it was a drug to remove toxicity, but I modified the formula to reduce the rejection caused by the implant, and remember to take a sip every morning. Judy should also have special medication to reduce the burden of the prosthesis on the body, and I will fine-tune it specifically for your situation when I get it.

Don't get any more prosthetics until I'm done. ”

"I knew you were the best, Mason."

Barbara uncorked the bottle and took a sip of the white honey, then let out a sigh of relief and followed Mason into the swirling light curtain in front of her, followed by two barrels.

Zakang was the last to pass.

Before leaving, he also unleashed a spell to attenuate the temporal disturbance of the World Gate, so that it would not be approached by other trackers.

But the K-Team knew they were one step away from being finally exposed.

Judging from the information gathered by various parties, Batman and Zatanna may already know their identities, and it is only a matter of time before Team K becomes street rats in this world.

But Mason is already preparing for this.

The rest of the team didn't ask about his plans, but they believed that Mason's wisdom would keep them through the catastrophe, even the most chicken thief.

"Huh"

The figures of the four men soon appeared under the darkness of the Assassin world.

They landed in a lively town square, and Mason looked back to see the Eiffel Tower standing not far behind him, and the French reverberating around them represented them in France.

"Old K found the golden apple in a monastery in France last time, and now it seems that the World Gate projection he left behind has been destroyed, so we teleported here randomly."

Mason pressed the hat down on his head, watching the excitement around him warily, wondering how many of the people in this group were killers who were roaming around with a mission.

The worst-case scenario at the moment is that in the next second, thousands of people in the entire square will draw their weapons at the same time, and the four of them biu~biu~biu.

After a moment, he shook his head and put the terrible thought behind him, for in a world where the legacy of the Assassin had been almost developed to its extreme, it was almost impossible to determine the identity of a killer from his appearance.

Mason said to Konstantin beside him:

"Prepare to teleport, John, let's go to New York. There is a device that unlocks the message of the golden apple. ”

"Are you sure?"

Konstantin looked away from the plump buttocks of a lady beside him who had smiled sweetly at him, spat out the smoke ring and said:

"This kind of mass teleportation across continents will leave me in a state of mana weakness for the next few hours, and if you get it wrong, I won't be able to help much."

"Sure! I just need some time to confirm the detailed location of that place, don't worry, I have a plan. ”

Mason confirmed, then glanced back at Two Barrels and Barbara.

The bat girl's left eye glowed blue, apparently trying to hack into a nearby device with her newly implanted hacker operating system for fun, and the second bucket's reaction was quite strange.

The guy looked around as if he had blown his hair up, with a vigilant and grim gaze.

Just by the way he placed his fingers in his bag, he knew that this guy was ready to pull out the Gryffindor Sword of Vengeance and slaughter the Quartet.

"What's wrong?"

Mason asked.

Erdao touched his neck and said a little uncomfortable:

"There's murderous intent, it's nearby, I can feel it. As in training camp in Nandarbat, I'm all too familiar with that feeling.

There are definitely killers lurking in this square, and that kind of killing intent that can't be triggered means that they are all good hands.

Let's get out of here. ”

"Are you overreacting?"

Za Kang picked up a cigarette again, took the three of them to a hidden location and began to cast a spell to teleport, his fingers wrapped around the green fluorescent, and said to the two buckets who looked around vigilantly and looked indifferently at everyone who approached:

"It's an assassin world, but it's not like this kind of public square is full of killers, right? This is also outrageous. ”

"No, John, Jason is right."

Barbara pointed to the top of her head with a serious face and said:

"I just hacked into 27 surveillance cameras in different directions, and after switching to infrared mode, I found that at least 100 people in the square were carrying assassination pistols.

If you add in the knife and liquid toxin, it is estimated that there will be more people.

He is not exaggerating.

It's really a killer everywhere! ”

"! Hell yes. ”

Za Kang's face changed.

He cast spells a little faster, and Mason's hand was already on the kinetic pistol at his waist, and he and the two barrels were guarding the place, one left and one right, and would shoot at them if anything was not done.

Barbara threw two palm-sized "Pterodactyl" drones and circled around them with brain prosthetic controls, focusing on the guys who were spotted carrying weapons.

Her expression was also quite serious.

Although he has half a foot in the realm of superhumanism now, it really doesn't feel good to be in the current situation with a group of professional killers who are pretending to be normal people and enjoying life in the square, but can still pull out their guns and work at any time.

It's as uncomfortable as a robber rushing into a bank to work only to end up on a Fupauler's payday.

A minute later, a portal to the world's New York City was built, and Zakang was the first to rush inside, and the three of them left the perilous plaza in their immediate pursuit.

But just as they disappeared into the view of the Eiffel Tower, somewhere in this square, a special camera screen for surveillance went black at the same time.

"Record!"

In a busy and oversized office area far away from here, an OL lady with black-rimmed glasses and a cool tattoo on her neck reported to the communicator in her hand in elegant French while constantly typing out some complex data on the keyboard in front of her:

"The first phase of monitoring of the new space-time disturbance event has ended, and its energy characteristics are exactly the same as the fluctuations generated by the opening of the space-time disturbance event 307 that occurred 77 days ago in the record.

Preliminary certification as an outsider who has entered the world for the second time.

However, based on the physical characteristics obtained from real-time monitoring, it is judged that it is not the same as the remaining members of Team 'K'.

At the same time, judging from the results of a series of high-risk warnings triggered by the Space-Time Disturbance Event 307 before, the space-time disturbance should be assigned as a 'Level 3 Event'.

It is to be submitted to European headquarters for assessment and at least one 'Saint' to be observed at close range until the time and space disturbance event is over.

The 19th Sage of the French headquarters is already waiting for the order to leave. ”

A moment later, a muffled voice answered from the communicator of her means:

"The three-level incident response process has been initiated, the Space-Time Disturbance Event 307 has been taken over by the North American headquarters, and the monitoring of the French branch has ended, thank you for the information."

"Huh?"

This reply surprised Miss OL.

She pushed her glasses and asked:

"Why did the North American headquarters take over the incident? This is completely out of the process! Temporal Disturbance Incident 307 has resulted in the loss of an important relic, the Golden Apple, to the French Branch, which we consider a disgrace and are ready to wash away our failures.

It's up to us to do the retribution! ”

There was a moment of silence on the other side of the communicator, and then he replied:

"First of all, the target is suspected to be using spatial teleportation in New York, which is the sphere of influence of the North American Branch, and it is natural for them to take over.

Second, this matter involves the holy golden apple, and it is not something that a single branch can deal with alone.

Finally, the time for the third shock event is approaching, and in accordance with the instructions of the Presbyterian Church, we are about to launch Operation 'Closing the Net' around the world.

All the saints and masters under the European headquarters will be engaged in the inevitable brutality of encirclement and suppression, and it is not in our plan to weaken your forces in such a situation.

Is there anything else you would like to ask? My sisters. ”

Miss OL pursed her lips, and after a moment of silence, she replied:

"Command confirmed! The French branch of the Brotherhood is no longer involved in Temporal Disturbance 307. ”

"Good."

The voice in the communicator turned quiet, and he said:

"Now send me the information you've gathered."

The young lady in charge of monitoring and information collection immediately got up, picked up the photos of the four members of Team K that she had printed out at hand, walked to a fax machine, and transmitted them to the North American headquarters.

The data rack next to this fax machine is already densely packed with all kinds of information about the disturbance of time and space.

They have been collected in small teams in a variety of ways, containing not only the avatars and specific information of the members of the Star Society who have entered the world, but also an analysis of their weaknesses in some documents.

On the other side, there were also some documents on the shelf, but the heads of the members of the Star Society on those documents were marked with a large X.

This represents the end of the assassination of these people.

And the deaths of these stars and lackeys are all because they are too close to the "truth" that the world has deliberately hidden.

After the young lady finished transmitting the information of Mason and the others, she turned around and put the photos of the four people into one of the folders labeled "K".

The photos stored in it have all been marked for death except for Old K, and these photos marked with red Xes represent the truth about the last time Old K's team was wiped out.

Mason's judgment was completely accurate, this B-class world is not as simple as it seems.

——

"Ahh

On the other side, at the same time as the four of Mason walked out of the portal of Zakkang, Barbara covered her forehead and let out a cry of pain. She had a strange red glimmer in the pupils of her left eye, looked up at the night sky, and then said to Mason:

"Someone was monitoring us, this time the monitoring signal conversion was very sudden so I was captured, I tried to reverse track but failed, the other party's technology level is very high.

At least much higher than the level on our side. ”

"So we've been discovered?"

Za Kang, who was a little weak because of the transcontinental teleportation, looked around, his fingers pinched out a cloud of sparks, and he said with a smoke ring:

"Could it be that in the next second, mad killers will rush out from all sides and kill us?"

"Probably not."

Mason felt the golden apple in his pocket and looked at it, he shook his head and said:

"If they were going to attack us in the square just now, it's just that the surveillance proves that they have no intention of taking any further action.

But it turns out that this place seems a little more dangerous than we thought.

And I reckon once we dig deeper into the secrets of this thing, we'll be waiting for more than just being monitored.

John, you go to the Stars and ask for information in the safe zone of New York, use your sociable skills, and hire a bunch of people from there as soon as we need help. ”

"Okay."

Konstantin did not refuse, he glanced at the three Masons and said:

"What about you?"

"We'll go to Abstergo's headquarters in New York, where we should be able to find the information we need."

Mason glanced at the neon billboard beyond the alley that was constantly bouncing advertisements for new drugs, which had helped him figure out the address of Abstergo's company.

He rubbed his forehead.

Recalling the evolution of the Assassins and Templars in his mind, and the terrifying scene of the godly Master Assassins in the midst of thousands of troops, he said to the three beside him:

"But again, the sooner the better, I'm starting to have a sense of foreboding."

"Ahh

As soon as Mason finished speaking, Barbara let out another painful cry.

She twitched her mouth and said:

"Seven data intrusions in a row, and this time I also used a mutant Trojan virus, what the hell! I just reverse-burned their data interface, but I don't think it will take long.

If it weren't for Judy changing me to the most advanced operating system with anti-hacking protocols in the afterlife, I would have really been hit this time.

But it's not a problem to be beaten passively like this all the time.

Let's go, Mason.

Find their network security identifier before my operating system's firewall is breached, or I'll be full of viruses in my head! ”

"You chose it yourself, who is to blame?"

Mason pouted and said:

"Next time, do you want Judy to put another antivirus in your head or something? Don't wait for the system to shut down while you're sticking to Grayson, and you won't be able to explain it. ”
