The sudden weather didn't cause problems for Team K's rendezvous, and when the first drop of rain fell, Mason managed to find his teammates.

Their spirits are not bad, and no one is injured except for Zakang, who is a little pale.

However, when Mason jumped off the motorcycle, he saw Zakang holding the golden apple and hiding in the shadow of the cave and chanting words, looking like he was snorting.

"He's not quite right from just now, and he won't let us near that thing."

As soon as Mason came in, the second bucket came running to "complain".

He looked at the muttering Zakang with a sad expression, and whispered:

"I have the feeling that it was that thing that bewitched him, or worse, that it was transforming John's mind as if it were shielding the minds of those assassin saints."

"It's normal."

Mason moved his fingers and explained:

"He can't withstand the golden apple's mental force field without Isu blood, this thing is not intended for pure-blood humans, but don't worry, he can still be saved."

As he spoke, the young man stepped forward and patted Zakang on the shoulder.

The latter turned sharply, took the glowing golden apple in his arms, drew a cherry wand in a vicious voice, and shouted at Mason:

"Stay away from me! Stay away from my baby! You are not allowed to come close! You're definitely trying to snatch my baby! No, it's my baby! A baby who can make me the king of the world!"

"It's just a golden apple that needs to be recharged, you idiot! Bring it!"

Mason rushed up and grabbed the golden apple in Zakon's arms, and the latter screamed and fought with Mason as if he had lost his mind, and was pulled away by the second bucket and Barbara.

"Beat him! Physically calibrate consciousness!"

Mason took the golden apple in his hand and pressed it a few times to close it, and then looked at the slag in front of him who was howling like a pig, and made a gesture, and the second bucket immediately punched Konstantin in the eye socket.

is so ruthless, it seems that it contains a little personal grudge in it.

This friendship fist knocked the lost dark wizard to the ground, but the effect was very good, and he seemed to come to his senses all of a sudden.

"Stop fighting!"

Zakang screamed and squatted in place with his head in his hands, raised his head again to reveal his funny panda eyes, and looked at the golden apple in Mason's hand very jealously.

He said:

"Get that away from me! Hell, I feel like it's talking to me and trying to impart knowledge to me, but I don't understand, what the hell is this?"

"As I told you earlier, the golden apple was a controller made by the Isu to control human thoughts and actions, and a whip in the hands of slave owners."

Mason tossed the closed golden apple up and down in his hand, and said:

"People who don't have Isu blood can't resist its brainwashing, you're not bad, you haven't been "transformed" into an Isu servant for nearly six hours, it seems that you've made significant progress lately, John."

"Then why are you okay?"

Zhakang rubbed his eyes and took the potion handed by Mason, drank it all, and then looked at the entrance of the cave, and said viciously:

"What's going on with that blonde chick over there? You picked it up?"

"That's a companion... Well, for now, it's a companion."

Mason hesitated, but introduced the secret to his teammates, saying:

"This spy sent into this world by His Excellency the Swordsman, one of the three mentors, has the same mission as us and Wesker. I saved her.

Don't worry, she's injured and weak now."

"Mason, there's a strong data signal beneath the Rift, but I can't decipher it."

Barbara stepped forward, rubbed her aching forehead, and transferred the mysterious information received by the brain interface to the microcomputer on her arm, which presented a very strange and concise geometric symbol on the screen.

She said to Mason:

"It's this signal that has been hacking into my mental firewall before, but it seems to be unmanned. We can't read these mysterious texts, but I personally think it's the ancient Isu

Leave a password or warning.

I'm running six cracks at the same time, and if I give me another half an hour I'll be able to crack it."

Mason glanced at the Isu text on the microcomputer, and then said with a strange expression:

"It says 'The air conditioning system is malfunctioning, the third vent is closed,' well, I'm not kidding, that's exactly what it meant."

"Wait!"

Suddenly a spirit in the second bucket looked at Mason and said:

"How can you read these ancient words? And you can manipulate the golden apple! Barbara, remember all the information we found in the Abstergo database?

The legends of the ancient Isu who were reborn with the help of the physical consciousness of others..."

"Huh"

The gryffindor's sword of revenge, shining with magical light, drew its sword against Mason's neck with cold light and sand, and protected Bat Maiden and Zakang behind him with two barrels, and he asked vigilantly:

"Who the hell are you? What did you do with Mason!"

"Poof"

The swordsman lady who was hiding from the rain at the entrance of the cave covered her mouth and laughed, she looked at the scene in front of her, and said:

"Oops, it's really interesting how your team gets along, if I didn't already have a team, I would have to apply to join you.

Mason Kids!

Look at how disrespectful your teammates are to you, beat them up to show your captaincy."

"Don't make a fuss."

Mason reached out and grabbed the sharp sword of revenge, pushed it away, and said to his companion:

"I just made some potions for myself to drink, unlocking some of the Isu legacy, but on the other hand, I did have an Isu memory filled my mind.

But it's definitely not the kind of rebirth you think, why don't we tell some secrets to verify our identity?"

The young man coughed, stared at the second bucket in a long voice, and said:

"Like some super-friendly relationship you had with a certain black elder during your training? Want me to tell the details? Two barrels?"

"Huh"

The blade is sheathed.

In order to avoid being executed on the spot and leading to social death, the two buckets who had to compromise said expressionlessly:

"Alright, confirm your identity, don't talk about those damn things."

"You said there was an Isu consciousness in your head?"

Surprised, he circled around Mason, pointed to the road leading to the rift ahead, and said:

"You should know everything there?"

"Well, the details are as clear as going home."

Mason nodded and said:

"This great temple contains the Ancient Isu Salvation Device, which they called the Aurora Device, which has protected the world from parallel world systems for tens of thousands of years, allowing them to escape two crises.

It's not that the stars will discover the world, but that the world will actively turn off the aurora device and expose it to the eyes of the stars in order to find a way to resist the end of the world.

Barbara and the second barrel should have told you this."

"Awesome, no wonder the three major mentors have to send people into here, just such an "Aurora Device" that can protect the world is worth the return ticket."

Zakang sighed in admiration, glanced at the secret guest at the entrance of the cave and pricked up his ears to eavesdrop, and made a silent gesture to Mason.

He coughed and said:

"Hey, I don't know where the yellow haired girl came from, how long are you going to eavesdrop? You see, our captain is a kind guy, and he might take your word for it.

But I'm a big badass.

I've seen so much of the scum who pretend to be friendly that maybe even your name is a trick on us, after all, I haven't seen you in the Continental!

Come on, come on.

Take out your Stellar Club employee card and show it to me."

Za Kang's request to give way to the secret

The guest's face changed.

As a Grand Mentor, she can disguise the completeness of the tattoo on her arm, which is easy, but the "employee card" created by the Star Society system cannot be disguised.

As soon as the Great Mentor-level crystal card appears, her identity will be revealed.

If it was exposed before, it would be exposed, and she had never cared about this kind of thing. But now it's different, from the little information Mason revealed just now, she already knows the supreme secret of the existence of this world.

Let her go now, even if she really doesn't have a lot of brains.

"Boom"

Just as Miss Swordsman, who was not good at using her brains, was pondering how to get this thing done, a loud bang suddenly sounded in the passage leading to the rift beside everyone.

Then in the rainstorm, a curtain of light erupted, and a layer of pale light emerged from the ground.

It swept across the cave, causing everyone but Mason to feel like an electromagnetic shock.

The hairs on the arms of Erdou and Zakang stand upside down, and the long hair of Barbara and Myke instantly turns into a hedgehog-like "exploding head".

"What's going on?"

With a loud roar, Mason glanced over there and said:

"Wesker was storming the seals of the Grand Temple, and that idiot triggered the defenses, and these high-energy particle beams grew stronger and stronger until they melted all the life around them.

But this large temple is directly connected to the continental shelf.

Unless he can tear down the continental shelf, he won't even want to go in without a golden apple...

Let's go and help him."

He took the lead, Team K followed, and no one bothered Miss Swordsman, but she couldn't miss such a thing, so she also followed with her still bleeding belly.

She now finally understood why the Hunters were so concerned about the rookies of Team K.

These guys do have what they can do....

"Smack"

As he stormed the glowing Rift building, Mason slammed his fist into a stone block painted with mysterious geometric runes, and an ancient storage room was opened containing several silver-gray pieces of full-covered armor and several glittering weapons.

"Go put it on, wait five minutes before you go in."

Mason said to the players:

"This is the uniform of the staff of the Great Temple, and it comes with temporary permissions so that you will not be attacked by the suppression system, so don't touch anything after entering!

The device that the Isu had placed here was a photonic computer, which had no physical substance.

And this!"

He escaped from his bosom the phoenix egg, which was two circles larger than an ostrich egg, handed it to Zakang, and said:

"Find a way to hatch it, John."

"This thing will drain me."

Za Kang frowned and took it and said:

"What the hell do you want to do?"

"I'm going to burn some 'dirty' here."

Mason glanced in the direction of the Divine Temple, he pushed the Sorting Hat, and said in a cold tone:

"If you miss this village, you won't have this shop, after all, it's not often that you have the opportunity to smash a level of personnel."

"Wesker?"

The three members of Team K looked at each other.

But Mason didn't explain much, just stamped his foot, pointed to the ground and said:

"Rest assured, this is 'our' territory now! The gods of fire and forging will bless you."

After saying that, he turned and rushed into the brighter and brighter beam of high-energy particles in front of him, Barbara rubbed his head that was getting more and more painful, and said to the second bucket and Zakang:

"Every time I go out with Mason it's a big scene, and I think I'll have to take a few days off after I go back this time."

"I just don't think he's mentally stable."

Za Kangmo rubbed his chin and said strangely:

"Even though he's always stressed that he's sober, normal Mason doesn't say anything about God's blessing on us... Well, don't waste any more time.

Change your clothes, we're going to help.

Barbara, where are you going?

Just change it here! I wouldn't peek at you, even my own family, would I? It's not like you're not wearing underwear..."

---

Sunglasses Gordon Weysk had found the sealed wall leading to the underground temple, and he swung his hot fists into the wall in front of him covered in geometric Isu script.

Each punch makes the surroundings vibrate.

The virus's modification of life forms allowed him to feel that there was a huge space behind the mountain wall, and judging by the clues he had received from the warlocks, there must have been an ancient structure left behind by the Isu.

"Don't smash it! Smashing it again will cause the defenses to activate a more advanced killing process, and you'll kill us all here."

Mason's voice came from behind, causing Wesker to look back at him warily.

But the young man didn't care about the guy's gaze.

He walked briskly past the high-energy particles that were enough to scorch the flesh, pressed his hat down and approached the door, then took the golden apple from his bosom and placed it in the recess of the wall.

It's like a key inserted into a lock hole.

But that wasn't enough, there was another groove in the door for the golden apple, and Mason took Odin's golden apple and placed it under Wesker's surprised gaze.

Then, in the click of the machine, the surrounding high-energy particle beams quickly dimmed, emitting a high-temperature aura in place and exposing the closed road to the two of them.

"Honorable personnel, please first!"

Mason made a "please" gesture, and took the two golden apples in his hand, Wesker pushed his sunglasses without saying much, and strode into the great temple that had been sealed in the dust for tens of thousands of years.

As soon as he stepped inside, the Dark Place greeted visitors, with blue lights coming up above and below, illuminating the ancient facility that went deep underground.

It's a chaotic space.

It is full of strangely shaped stone pillars and some stone slabs and high platforms that are suspended in mid-air in a special form in complete violation of the laws of physics.

There were also crystal-like items that had been depleted of energy scattered on the ground, covered in a thick layer of dust like an eerie tomb.

However, the temple looked very different to Wesker's eyes than it did to Mason.

Mason's eyes blinked a few times as he stepped into it, as if he had entered a special "observation mode", and a large number of Isu apparitions were busy going back and forth in the space.

You can only see visions but not hear shadows.

Like the last vestiges of a group of ghosts long lost in time, Mason even saw "himself" in those apparitions.

That is, the figure of Hephaestus the Isu.

He was standing on a stone-made console high up in the air, manipulating the mysterious instruments of the place to do some kind of tuning, and above the darkness was an optical projection of a complex star system.

It's not the framework of the stars.

Rather, it originates from the simulated structure of parallel worlds in the multiverse, arranged with the knowledge of the Isu, outlining this ancient civilization's understanding of the mysteries of the stars.

Mason could see them clearly, even though the underground temple was nothing but ruins in the eyes of others.

"Do you know how to activate it?"

Wesker's deep voice sounded in front of him, and he looked back at Mason and said in a low tone:

"Please get to work, C-class."

"Wait a minute, the key to the main console should be nearby."

Mason stepped forward and flicked his hand somewhere below the photonic computer body near the aurora system, following the reflection of the past in his eyes.

The stone opening and closing pushed something into Mason's eyes.

It was a golden-gray orb, almost identical to the golden apple in Mason's hand, but the faint Isu inscription on it meant it wasn't a control item.

Mason let out a sigh and reached for it.

It was as if the temple had finally been asleep, and the dim place suddenly brightened, and pale beams of light began to outline intricate shapes in the space above the temple.

That's the attitude of the photonic computer when it is turned on.

At the same moment, hot serpentine tentacles snaked from behind him, binding his neck and body, lifting him into the air.

Wesker, who still maintained his human form but whose left arm had turned into an indescribable serpentine synapse, reached out and flung it, and Mason, who was useless, was knocked into the mountain wall and rolled to the ground.

He saw Wesker reach out and hold the "key" he had found.

Then, as he expected, when Wesk came into contact with the Isu orb, he yelled as if he had been attacked and threw the thing out, as if he were holding a piece of hot lava.

"Isu Forger Access Code: YGH-1-103."

Mason, who was lying on the ground, shouted in the ancient Isu language, and a blue light instantly hit him, and the next moment a gentle electronic voice sounded:

"Biological genetic information certification passed! The concentration of the Isu bloodline is up to standard! The access code is correct! Welcome home, Lord Hephaestus, the World Tree Host-Grand Temple Split Program awaits your command."

"Hazardous Substance Removal System Activated! In front of the target, Expulsion Mode: Extermination!"

Mason grabbed the dull orb that had tumbled to his hand, and touched his still scorched neck, the rocks under his feet lifted him up like an elevator.

He looked at Wesker, who was clutching his head and yelling on the ground.

Whisper:

"World Tree Host, do me a favor and burn this piece of garbage, and the entire Star Sea will thank you for it."
