3. Boom! Mason's true identity turned out to be...--[10/15]
(For the 'Humen Yan' brothers)
What Will Turner was going to talk to Mason about wasn't complicated.
The captain, who had been transformed into a monster under the influence of the curse, did not even waste time in greeting him, and in the captain's room, which was dotted with all kinds of strange objects like a madman's ward, he stared at Mason and said:
"The arrival of old Teague explained to me a few things about the Stellar Society and outsiders, and he also told me the story of the last old K, who said that his former collaborator came to this world to ensure that the female Poseidon would not be revived.
You've made a series of mistakes here that have led to this situation.
As you can see, he and I have guessed that the Cleaners will come to this world to loot the last of the treasures, so I'm preparing to round them up!
The end may be inevitable, but I'd rather spend my last days in battle than praying to the gods for deliverance.
I need your help, Mason. ”
"That's fine."
Mason is also unambiguous.
He looked at the strange slime chair beside him with some hesitation, hesitated for a few seconds but did not sit down, he looked up at Will, and said:
"I'm not afraid to go to war with the Cleanups, and I'm willing to help my friends fight back in a crisis, but I'll say, Will, you can actually survive.
Same as Elizabeth and Jack.
As long as you give me a little time, you can even keep your ship and we go to our world, don't you want to see your son grow up?
There's no need to stay here to bury your world, right? ”
"We can't get out of it, Mason."
Will Turner shook his head, a gesture that caused a few small gray-white crabs to pop out of the strange tentacles on his cheeks, which he picked up and threw into his mouth with a clattering sound.
And in the splattering of juice, he said:
"The Flying Dutchman is not just cursed by Colypso, we will walk in the world of the living and the hell of the dead, and as long as the hell remains, our curse will trap us forever.
We are more connected to the world than anyone else in this world.
Anyone can run, but we can't.
I thank you for your kindness, but our fate is already sealed.
This will be the Dutchman's last voyage.
We will return to the Hell to bring the souls of the dead who do not want to be silent and release them in the twilight beneath the end of the world, ensuring that no one lives to take the last breath of this world.
My crew and I are ready for this.
I hope you'll be ready too. ”
"Okay."
Mason saw that the other party's words had reached this point, and he couldn't say anything more, so he changed the topic and asked:
"Can you tell me what the pirates of this world have done in the most months we've been away? Is their expansion on the North American continent still going well? And where did you hide Colypso? ”
"Right in Virginia."
Captain Will said in a vague cold voice:
"The medicine you gave them the greatest possible unity, and the survivors of the entire sea gathered around them as if they saw hope, and it took them only ten days to expand the size of a colony to use as their base.
Fueled by vengeance, towns are reclaimed every day, and the survivors can be seen burning ghoul fires day and night beneath the sea.
They seem to have embraced hope.
Barbossa had found the Poseidon Trident ten days earlier, and they had summoned Colypso seven days earlier.
I don't know exactly what happened, but the message from the sea told me that they used the power of the Poseidon Trident to coerce Colypso into making some deal with them.
It is said that the first shrine of a female god of the sea has been erected in the harbor of Virginia.
You'll find that place easily.
At the speed of the Black Pearl, you can get there in a day and a night at most. But Mason, the Dutchman's power comes from the curse of Colypso and the sea, and we can't help you attack her. ”
"It's okay, just lock in your target."
Mason waved his hand and said:
"We'll take care of the rest. But, old J, well, I mean old Teague didn't tell you what he was going to do next? ”
"The old man didn't say that."
Will Turner let out a scalp-tingling laugh when he said:
"I didn't bother to ask.
Maybe he had a way to leave, but I didn't need to. Mason, about Elizabeth and Henry. The rest of the time is left to me and my family.
Tell me about their lives with you, and don't leave out any details, so that I can have good memories with me before I die.
Just a little bit is enough. ”
"That's more than a little bit, before we arrived, Elizabeth recorded this for me to bring to you, and your son has a lot to say to his father.
Don't worry about them.
Even if Team K fails, I can assure you that your wife and children will survive to the last day of their lives in that city without any worries. ”
Mason pulled a special VCR out of his arms and placed it on the table in front of Will's eyes and turned it on.
Elizabeth Swan's face appeared on the screen in a professional outfit with her hair shortened and neat, which immediately caught Will's attention.
When this half-human, half-strange guy saw his wife, the warmth on his hideous face was really moving.
While Will Turner's attention was drawn to his wife's video, Mason quietly exited the Dutchman's captain's cabin, not wanting to be a light bulb in this tender moment.
The main thing is that he is still busy.
It would take a day or two to get to the pirate city, and it would be a bit wasteful not to use it to make something.
——
While Team K is heading towards the Port of Virginia in the Caribbean, outside of Gotham, to be precise, in orbit far from the planet, a space station shaped like a tower-like tower is quietly orbiting the Earth.
This is the "watchtower".
The headquarters of the Justice League.
The super perfect base is created through Bruce Wayne's financial resources and Kryptonian technology sponsored by Da Chao's friendship, and it is certainly not the only base of the Justice League.
They also have a place called the "Hall of Justice" somewhere on Earth, and it is said that they also have a hiding place on the moon.
The old man wore a cloak and walked into the conference hall below the watchtower with the cold and calm posture that Batman should have, and the place far from Earth still made him walk on the ground under the effect of artificial gravity.
After several layers of authentication, the door in front of me sliced open to the sides, revealing a conference table that was already full.
Three seats were empty next to the circular conference table emblazoned with the Justice League logo, and Superman, dressed in red and blue uniforms, had reached out to Batman and motioned for him to sit next to him.
The meeting is about to begin.
Today's meeting was attended by important members of the Justice League, as well as a few "friends" who don't often come here.
The old man sat down in his seat, and his eyes immediately saw Zatana sitting in the auditorium outside the round table, and the powerful spellcaster beside her, wearing a golden mask, calmly revealing a mighty force.
Doctor Fate
It's not good.
Bruce Wayne thought so under the pretense of his expressionless face.
"So, let's get started."
As the watchtower keeper on duty, wearing a green cloak, carrying a bow and quiver, and wearing a green domino mask, Green Arrow stood up and spoke as the presiding officer of the meeting:
"Let me first give you a summary of what we have discovered in the past few days."
"Don't waste your time, Green Arrow."
Sitting on Superman's right hand, Wonder Woman, wearing an iconic battle armor, waved her hand, drank coffee a little tiredly, and said:
"Everyone is here during this time, everyone knows what happened, let's get straight to the point."
"Okay."
Green Arrow pursed his lips, coughed, and said:
"The Flash has traveled through six parallel worlds in the last seven days with the help of a cosmic treadmill, and the news he brought back was as bad as we expected.
The observers set up in the six parallel worlds detected the same space-time distortion signals almost simultaneously, which means that the 'apocalypse' that Doctor Fate warned us about before will not only happen in our world.
The Flash encounters 'blocking' while traversing parallel worlds.
Judging by the last message he sent back, it seems that other speedsters noticed him.
Initially suspecting that it was some kind of hostile force, he was chasing them in reverse in the Chrono Current. The last message he sent back said that he might not be in time for the crisis to erupt, but that he would be back as soon as possible. ”
"That sounds like bad news."
Da Chao said in a serious tone:
"Maybe we should go and help the Flash, that kid is a bit shabby."
"Who can enter the Chrono Stream as easily as he does?"
Wonder Woman rolled her eyes and said:
"Let's talk about something useful, Superman, have you noticed any different movements in the world?"
"Nope."
Superman shook his head and said:
"The whole world was calm, even calmer than before, and seven days of listening did not reveal any news of noteworthiness, and the League of Assassins who had returned to Nandarbat had gone underground.
I've been with Batman and I've seen their old bases abandoned. ”
"There are no ominous signs of the World Data Network."
The half-human, half-mechanical superhero Cyborg sitting across from Superman glanced at Batman and reported:
"Except for a mysterious data signal that tried to hack into the Justice League network a few days ago, it was very mysterious and its structure was written like I had never seen before, and ordinary data defenses were broken in front of it like paper.
I noticed it before it entered the watchtower safety net, but couldn't catch it.
The only thing I'm sure of is that the signal came from Gotham!."
"Batman, aren't you going to say something?"
The blonde-haired Sea King patted the trident he had placed in his hand with some dissatisfaction, and said in a loud voice:
"That's your territory."
The old man glanced at this guy and said in an indifferent tone:
"I'm more concerned about what you found from outsiders at the bottom of the ocean than a data signal, are you sure it's all taken care of?
Their bioviral warhead has been confirmed to be an extremely dangerous threat, so dangerous that we can't even destroy it casually. There has been no clue about the research on the virus, and it is very difficult to make a vaccine to prevent it.
But fortunately, we already have a downgraded version of the vaccine, and we are not starting from scratch. ”
"Everything in the sea was cleaned up, and a strange door was found on the bottom of the east coast, and Green Lantern took it to O'Astar to try to activate it with a replica of Green Light's central battery.
And the little blues who watched it were silent in the face of Howl's questioning.
They say it's a hellish fate, and they demand that Green Lantern not get involved as a member of the Green Lantern Corps.
It's fucking up! ”
Aquaman stood up and glanced at the silent Doctor Fate and Zatana, who had been overwhelmed by the situation, and crossed his arms and said:
"Let's not be sloppy, okay? You all know by now that the problem is in Gotham, but you just don't have the guts to resist Batboy!
So let's talk about it!
Batman, you have to tell everyone the important news you have! ”
In the face of this question, the old man was noncommittal.
He didn't answer Aquaman's question, he just raised his head and looked around at Zatana, who shook his head slightly to signal that she wasn't talking nonsense, but Doctor Fate, who was beside Zatana, stood up at this point.
He floated to the round table of the Justice League and said in a determined tone:
"The flow of time that I see is cut off within the confines of Gotham, and while I can't understand why this happened, I have traced back to the roots and realized that you have become an important part of it.
Batman, the information you have is crucial.
Especially at this time when everything is about to befall disaster, and you are deliberately hiding your reluctance to let others know what you think.
I know you don't trust anyone else, but I'm going to plead with you.
That may be the only chance we can get to the end of the world in advance.
You have to tell us.
Why did this catastrophe come? What kind of posture will it take? And most importantly, is there a sinister and malevolent organization that is trying to play the role of an ugly god? ”
At this moment, even Superman, who trusted Batman the most, couldn't help but stand up.
The eyes of all the people in the entire hall of justice fell on the master, and after a silence that made people feel suffocated in their breath, he knocked on the table and said:
"This is the 'third shock', the same catastrophe has already happened twice, and it is aimed at the destruction and end of the entire parallel world system.
Our world has been fortunate to have a bye and thus escaped the first two distractions, but this time we must face it head-on.
The good news is that we have a good chance of making it through safely.
The bad news is that it's accelerating. ”
The old man stood up, his hands propped up on the table, recalling the truth and truth that Selena had told him last night.
He said briefly:
"The first shock happened 17 years ago, the second shock was three years ago, and the interval between each one is shortening, and if we get through this one, it is likely that in a year or even months we will be in a more dangerous situation.
It's a kind of 'elimination'.
In my opinion, it's more like a shuffle, and those worlds that aren't strong enough will fall apart in the process, like a world-to-world wrestling.
I don't know what caused it at this time. ”
"Who told you that?"
Doctor Fate asked:
"I promise not to hurt your 'informant', Batman, I just need to talk to him or her, maybe we can find more information using the thread of fate to trace its origins."
"But that's what I'm afraid of."
Bruce Wayne said coldly:
"If you call them 'informants,' you should know that their identities are known to as few people as possible. It's not that I don't believe you."
The old man's eyes looked around.
He paused, and in the midst of the meaningful gaze around him, he shook his head and said:
"Well, I don't believe you, but it's not due to malice."
"You trust them so much?"
Wonder Woman complained:
"Even better than trusting us?"
"Don't provoke, don't pick on thorns, don't say anything that is not conducive to unity, Wonder Woman!"
Da Chao scolded slightly.
This time he stood on Batman's side, put his hand on the old man's shoulder, and said to the others:
"It is enough to know this for now, we should trust our companion, and his past actions prove that he deserves our unconditional trust.
If Batman thinks no one else should know about this right now, then let's shut up and stop asking.
After all, there is more important things ahead.
It's just"
"Seven days!"
The master knew what Dachao wanted to ask.
He let out a sigh of relief and said:
"In seven days, it's bound to come, and we have to prepare for the worst. I propose that a batch of dangerous goods be lifted for use in defence preparations, and the vote will now be taken. ”
A few minutes later, the meeting adjourned.
Zatanna waited until everyone had left before coming to the master's side, staring into Bruce's eyes and whispering after a few seconds:
"Who the hell is that guy? Is he really your illegitimate son, as John complained in bed? Are you willing to do this for him?
It's amazing that you can trust someone so much.
Frankly, it makes me feel jealous. ”
"No, Xiaozha, he is not related to me by blood."
The old man sat back in his chair, rubbed his forehead and thought of the things he had found, and he sighed and said:
"I don't just trust him, you quickly learn that he's a key player. It's really important not to reveal his information in this current situation.
Just for John, who is now trapped. ”
"It won't be a secret for long."
Konstantin's name made Xiao Za sigh too, regretting that he was in love with a bad man who always made trouble for him.
She whispered:
"Time is a clear line in Doctor Fate's eyes, and sooner or later he can find clues about that person if he wants to, not to mention that your companions have begun to suspect you.
Maybe Cyborg and Aquaman will also check it privately. ”
"I'll stop them."
The old man was silent for a few seconds, and then said in a deep voice:
"I'm ready to let no one get involved until I find the evil liner that lies deep! As for the two of them. They couldn't find my informant.
They underestimate my collaborators too much. ”
