4. Strange friendships always come uninvited, occasionally breaking in the door - Happy Chinese New Year's Eve [11/15]

Behind the Black Pearl, in a swirling whirlpool, an ominous ghost ship is sinking into the water.

Will Turner doesn't plan to show up in the Port of Virginia, he and his ghost pirates have something to do, and it is estimated that they won't appear in the final war until the Cleanups show up.

"How's the enhancement going?"

Mason watched the Dutchman sink to the bottom of the sea, and asked Zakon beside him, yawning.

"Okay, so-so"

Konstantin, who was obviously very satisfied, but had to pretend to be nothing more than that, said as usual:

"The improvement in physical fitness has allowed me to have a few abs and even bend steel pipes with my bare hands, but what makes me even more happy is the manipulation of magic, which was a little difficult to use is now available.

Some forbidden spells that cannot be used can also be arranged, and it seems that there is indeed something in the inheritance of the Isu. ”

"If you're satisfied."

Mason pouted and said:

"I've given you the reward you've always wanted, John, and you'll have to work hard this time. It's not as ominous as it was when I was in the Isu world, but this time you can understand that the situation we are facing has not improved much without me saying more. ”

"I heard Barbara say that you don't think it's exciting enough to kill a god, so you're going to make it a little more difficult for yourself?"

Zhakang swallowed the cigarette butt and said:

"You're going to move the people here to safety? Are you crazy? There are at least a million people here, and even if we open the two world doors in our hands all day to transfer them now, it won't be enough to survive until the end comes.

I guess Mr. Hunter wasn't going to help?

Honestly, if I were a decision-maker like him, I wouldn't waste my energy in a world where it's worthless, really. ”

"It has nothing to do with whether it's worth it or not, John."

Mason flicked his fingers and said:

"We see it, and we can't leave it alone."

"Hey, this is a good heart disease that has flare up again."

Zakang spat out a strange smoke ring in the shape of a boat, and complained:

"I know, you're a madman who can't stay idle, helping a group of doomsday survivors find a new home in Peter's world, and you don't want to let go of these poor creatures on the sea, you just can't see others suffering.

You are simply a living bodhisattva.

If they don't erect a monument to you after this is over, they will blind your good heart. ”

"Say whatever you want."

Mason shrugged his shoulders, he stood in the bow of the ship in the dark and looked at the gloomy sea in the distance, crossed his arms and said:

"We cannot turn a blind eye to these people who are struggling to survive. Every pair of eyes that prayed for help as we walked along this road should be answered, and if we have the ability to help, why shouldn't we take them all?

Actually, I have a bold idea, John. ”

He looked back at Zakang.

The latter, noticing Mason's expression, immediately crossed his hands and shouted:

"Nope! Stop your bold ideas! The last time you said you had an idea, we were forced to fight the Stars, and we hijacked Wayne Industries' warehouse for millions of vaccines.

This time I think your idea might be even crazier.

Be realistic, Mason.

The end is just around the corner, and you're not a savior, and you don't want to be a god, so you can't save everyone! ”

"How do you know if you don't try?"

Mason ignored Zackon's shouting, and said with blazing eyes:

"I'll find a way to send everyone here to Old Peter's world! They have enough supplies and a place to live, but they just don't have enough people.

The Old Green Goblin is confident that he will survive this shock with the power of the Quint Society, and he will need these people if he wants to rebuild the world, and it won't hurt him. ”

"Oh my God, you still said it!"

Konstantin covered his face and said in a desperate tone:

"Not to mention whether Norman Osben was willing to accept this group of 18th-century refugees, let's just say that the two world gates opened at the same time and remained open for several days would cause a disturbance in time and space!

Don't forget, we've experimented with the base world as a transit between the two world gates.

It's like opening a torch in Gotham!

Not to mention a spellcaster of the level of Doctor Fate, even an apprentice can clearly feel it.

You're just flipping our old bottoms!

Are you tired of this game of hide and seek, so you're going to play with the superheroes who have been nervous about the disaster? ”

"Well, you're right, I ignored that."

Mason nodded regretfully.

Zakang's rebuttal was that if he wanted to continue to maintain the concealment of Team K, he couldn't do it with such fanfare, and he persuaded Mason in front of him, and Konstantin was also relieved.

He did feel that Mason was asking for trouble.

He admits that the people in front of him are pitiful, but what does that have to do with him? Everyone has their own destiny, what is it to always expect others to come to the rescue?

It's better to ask for others than for yourself, and don't forget that you are also a person.

Persuaded by Zakkang, Mason returned to the Black Pearl's converted cabin, where he had set up a simple alchemy room, but judging by the look on his face, it was clear that he hadn't given up on his plans.

It's just that when Mr. Hunter doesn't want to help, and Team K's World Gate can't be used, he has to think of another way.

In this moment of mental confusion, Mason needs to calm himself down, and the way he calms down is by going into the alchemy room to complete a potion crafting.

Mason easily took out the Hufflepuff Gold Cup, dripped the ingredients prepared in his bag into it, heated it over a simmer, and by the way, separated a wisp of magic fire and placed it on the phoenix egg erected next to him.

He advanced the alchemy with great skill, but the thought was something else, and after exhausting all the possibilities at the moment, Mason still couldn't find a way to use it, until he caught a glimpse of the Isu fragment of the "Reward of Cerberus" placed on the alchemy table, and an idea popped into his mind.

Perhaps he could find some clues in the Isu heritage?

Mason picked up the dangerous "biological mutagenage" and rubbed it in his hand, their understanding of parallel worlds and the structure of the universe was very profound, perhaps.

"You look full of troubles, my brother."

A sudden voice made Mason look back vigilantly, and then he saw a phantom hovering behind him.

It was an image of an Isu, dressed in a researcher's white armor and wearing a sacred half-robe, like the stone carvings of ancient Greek gods.

Mason blinked and looked around, but the two pirates guarding the door of the alchemy room turned a deaf ear.

So he's sure this guy should only be able to see it.

Is this the Isu bloodline having a nerve again and starting to project images of the past?

His thoughts seemed to be sensed by the Isu vision, who hovered in front of Mason's eyes and shook his head to explain:

"No, I am not an illusion of the past, Hephaestus, I am Consus, and I 'sojourn' on the cloak behind you, it is the biological signals you send when you ponder deep questions that awaken me."

"Oh, Prometheus."

Mason touched the Isu Shroud he was wearing, there was indeed an ancient Isu consciousness signal in this thing, he looked at this "ghost", and said:

"I'm not the Hephaestus you are familiar with, and this is not your hometown, so I'm sorry to disturb your dormancy, but I'm not in the mood to talk to you about the Isu civilization right now.

As you can see, I'm busy. ”

"I see that you're making some high-end medicine by hand, but what you want is not in sync with what you're doing.

You're still holding a dangerous mutager made by our sister Juno.

IMHO, with a swipe of your hand, the genetic signal interference generated by this biomutager is enough to turn all the ordinary humans on this ship into monsters you don't want to see. ”

The Isu Consus slowly reminded:

"According to the Isu biolaboratory protocols, this dangerous test specimen is to be contained in a secondary time stagnant container, my brother, tell me about it.

Talk about your troubles, even if I can't help, be a listener.

Best of all, you don't have to worry about me going around with your worries in my mouth, and as you can see, I'm just a 'ghost' of yesteryear that only you can see. ”

"Uh, okay."

Mason looked strangely at the overly peaceful Isu ghost in front of him.

He put the biomutager in his bag and talked about the trouble he was facing as he looked at his pot of potions.

Consus pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then his illusion appeared in another place, and he stretched out his hand to write some complex Isu scripts in the air, and then turned back to Mason and said:

"Do you remember the instrument we designed to explore parallel world systems? If you can craft it now, you won't be able to rely on the time travel device provided by the Stars to lock on to the phase coordinates of the target world.

Then use your amazing crafting skills to analyze their world's gates.

Then use your supreme wisdom to imitate a safe and undisturbed transfer device, and the problems that plague you will be solved, and with my knowledge of your amazing skills, my brother, these imitations will not be difficult for you. ”

"That's the problem."

Mason rubbed his forehead and said:

"The complex knowledge hasn't been unlocked in my mind yet, and the Legacy you've set up should have some kind of creature lock to unlock the knowledge and technology you have to me in a step-by-step way.

I can learn now, but I guess it's too late. ”

"That would be the only way to do it in a more adventurous way."

Consus was silent for a moment, then suggested:

"With the help of the enemy! As you say, if the invaders are going to enter the world on a large scale before the end of the world, then they must have the equipment at hand that can teleport armies on a large scale.

That can work for you, too, but it can be very risky. ”

"That's the way to do it."

Mason crossed his arms and rubbed his chin and said:

"If you can't find a better idea, then it's optional, do you have any other suggestions?"

"I would advise you to give up, my brother."

Consus said very seriously:

"You're planning something that doesn't cost anything and is very dangerous, and given your current situation, maybe you should learn to accept that reality.

That is, you can't save everyone.

That's beyond your means. ”

Mason was silent, and after a few seconds he shook his head and said:

"It looks like it's time for our conversation to end, thank you for your help, Consus, I'll take the initiative to call you if you don't understand any questions in the future, you're good at biotechnology, right?

Can you give me a look at this fortified formula?

I would like to make this side effect a second personality enhancement drug safer. ”

"Why not?"

Consus's visions hovered beside Mason, and he whispered:

"I've slept long enough, and I'm glad I can help you in these bad times, my kind brother.

Well, this formula is a bold design, and it doesn't seem to me to be worth the cost of stimulating the pituitary gland to secrete more substances that benefit the body's circulation in such a crude way.

You might be able to improve on this.

Come, grab your pen and modify its generation equation as I tell you. ”

At this time, outside the alchemy room.

Mr. Gibbs, the first mate with the cool toad glasses, was looking at Mason, who was talking to himself alone in the dim area, and he whispered to Barbara who was secretly called behind him very worriedly:

"Mistress Mason seemed to be talking to someone, but there was no one around him, and the brother who frightened the janitor and reported it to me. Ms. Barbara, did you say that Lord Mason was too stressed, so."

Mr. Gibbs pointed at his head and made a chaotic motion.

The Bat Maiden was silent.

She just bit her lip and looked at Mason in front of her with a worried gaze, and she was getting more and more excited to talk to herself, as a teammate and nominal sister who got along day and night, Barbara was well aware of the pressure Mason was under during this time.

Especially after he injected himself with strange drugs in the Assassin world in order to turn the tide, Mason's mode of action became more and more bizarre.

"Don't alarm anyone else just yet."

Barbara gave an order to the frightened Gibbs first mate, and quietly stepped back to discuss it with Zakang, and asked the unreliable guy to check Mason's spirit.

If it doesn't work, Team K will have to give up this mission, Mason's health is much more important than this tattered world!

However, just as Batgirl walked out of the cabin to look for Zakang, her personal contact suddenly vibrate.

The Bat Girl took out the contact device that Judy had gifted, she thought it was Judy who had encountered something interesting in Gotham again, so she shared it with her across the world, but when she picked up the communicator, she found that it was a message from an unknown number.

"I heard you're in a little trouble?"

The message of that number says:

"Why not try to reach out to new friends when old K-Team friends and incompetent superiors who don't want to take risks can't help?"

“?”

Barbara was surprised to click on the note for the unfamiliar number.

It was discovered that this was the "secret keeping" who had a previous relationship with the Assassin world, and that she had indeed exchanged communication methods with Barbara when she left.

Bat Girl was also happy to see her friends who fought side by side survive, but she paid more attention to the content of this message.

She walked to the edge of the deck, thought about it, and dialed the number for the cross-world communication.

A few seconds later, a holographic projection appeared on the communicator, projecting the figure of the yellow-haired girl of the secret guest onto Barbara's eyes, along with the background of a dimly lit hall carved with demon sculptures.

The Secret Guest is shown lying comfortably on an evil-looking throne, holding a bucket of ice cream in his hand and digging through it with a skull spoon.

"Yo, Barbara, are you all right? I heard you're in trouble? ”

The secret man waved his hand very familiarly and said:

"Need help?"

"How do you know we're in trouble?"

Barbara asked warily:

"You're spying on us?"

"Ugh"

Dumbfounded by the question, the secret man lowered her head and complained:

"Heck, now the C-class personnel are really monkey spirits, and it's really hard to do secret monitoring, and I'm starting to miss the group of idiots I met at the beginning.

A flame popping out of your finger can scare them into obedience. ”

Then she raised her head again, pulled her long blonde hair, dug a big mouthful of ice cream into her mouth, and said vaguely:

"Let's not talk about that, just say if you need help, right? I can help. ”

"Help? How are you going to help? ”

Barbara already sensed that there was definitely something wrong with the guy opposite, and she didn't plan to talk about it any further, so she said casually:

"Can you get the Diversion Gate?"

"Huh? The Gate of Transfer? I thought it was a big deal, but that's it? ”

The swordsman sitting on his throne laughed like a queen and said:

"Tell me, how many do you want? I'll report it."
