Under the control of the AI veteran driver, the Batmobile stopped very smoothly on the side of the road only a few minutes away from Wayne Manor, Mason got out of the car and walked into the wasteland next to him, he glanced back, and then took out his flip phone and dialed the number.

A few seconds later, the old man's voice rang out from it.

The conversation is unusually concise and unwilling to waste even a minute of your time:

"Ah Fu is waiting for you, and the materials are also in his hands, so give him the things. If anyone else is around, leave immediately. ”

"For such an important matter, I thought you would come in person."

Mason took out a cigarette and put it under his nostrils, sniffed it but did not light it, and he whispered:

"Still in the watchtower?"

"Diana wants to interrogate your people, I'm delaying time."

Batman replied:

"All those involved in Operation Planet Destruction were left in the watchtower for observation on the grounds that it would not take a day for them to return, on the pretext of preventing germs from another world from invading our world.

Move as fast as you can, Mason.

And, most importantly, the most important point."

"I know, you can't kill."

Mason whispered:

"I'll stick to your bottom line, we'll use non-lethal weapons, and I'll have two friends enter Gotham during the ground battle phase to help contain your teammates.

They can no longer return through the Gates of the World to avoid being cursed, and I hope you can help take care of them while they stay in Gotham.

This will most likely be the last time we talk in the next period of time.

So anything else to advise? ”

"You said before that any of us could be bewitched by the Stellars' eyeliner, and I thought about it and thought it was a hidden danger."

The old man said in a deep tone:

"I'll do my best to leave some people in the watchtower and 'take them all away' if I can."

"Huh?"

Mason understood instantly, but he frowned and said:

"Selena should have told you that joining the Stars would mean becoming a 'candle', and you were pushing them into the fire pit."

"Nope."

The old man explained:

"There are tens of thousands of members of the Stars Society, if you already have tens of thousands of burning candles in front of you, what difference does it make if there are so many and one less? Your curses are not controlling, Mason, I spoke specifically with Zha about this, and she told me that if it weren't for the forcible manipulation of the curse, they could be temporarily expelled by isolation and sealing.

There is no need to kill.

All you need to do is defeat the owner of the candle, and everyone will be free in an instant. ”

"How dare you think about it."

Mason staggered:

"How strong will a godhead devil with tens of thousands of candles shining on himself be You really have no idea, and you can go straight to the Yellow Dragon without extinguishing the candle.

I might need an army of Incredibles to play the vanguard and a Batman army to flanker to do that. ”

"What we will do together, not now, but in the future."

The old man did not talk about this topic again, he took the initiative to end the call and said:

"Go according to plan, Mason, take them away, those are not suspects, but they have great potential, and each has its own character flaws that are really easy to be seduced and exploited.

We need to be precautionary.

Team K also needs some good hands to carry out the undercover mission, so let's think this is the last aid that my hometown will give to you pioneers.

I'm sure you can convince them to join you. ”

The communication hung up, Mason pursed his lips and glanced at the communication history of the flip phone, he did not return to the Batmobile, but lit a cigarette in the dark night in the same place.

It's not for enjoyment, it's just to brush up on ideas in this way, and the originally useful palliative has also developed resistance due to repeated drinking.

This really gave Mason a bit of a headache.

But before he could fully understand, the flip phone in his hand rang again, and Mason glanced at the number, connected the communication, and said:

"Barbara? Can I help you? ”

The bat girl's weak voice came from the phone, with a hint of anxiety.

"Mason, Judy showed me the message that Delaman sent back to the main server, why did you send those truths to Mr. Hunter? This will expose us.

We've blocked that message for the time being, and we can change it at any time. ”

"There's no need to change it."

Mason spat out a smoke ring and replied:

"It's a temptation, and I'd like to see if Mr. Hunter will send this news to her superiors to determine what we should do next.

Remember when she entered the Isu Assassin world to save us? Barb.

She can be wooed. ”

"She?"

Barbara caught a key message, she hesitated for a moment, and said:

"Wouldn't that be a bit risky? If you misjudge."

"Then this message is a 'vote'."

Mason explains:

"I just learned that some of our 'friends' are also a little unhappy with the Quent, so no matter what the outcome is, there is a good chance that we will get the support of one side.

I'm certain that the hunters will help us hide the news, so let's send it out. ”

"Okay."

Barbara answered, and then Judy's voice rang out from her phone, with a hint of complaint:

"Mason, will you let me know in advance the next time something like this happens? I slept and was woken up by a hazard warning and worked overtime. Also, I told the captain about your request, and he asked me to tell you that he really hasn't had time to come to the appointment lately, but he will take the initiative to find you when he is free.

Also, if you can ask something from the conqueror, remember to share it with us. ”

"What? Don't you trust your superiors either? ”

A smile curled up at the corners of Mason's mouth, and he joked:

"Does the afterlife team also aspire to become a 'thorny employee' who causes headaches for their superiors like Team K?"

"We don't think about it that much, but who doesn't like to have more options?"

Judy snorted and shared a secret to Mason, saying:

"You don't know yet, do you? While you and the Conqueror were battling to the death, the Captains had completed the apocalyptic transfer of three D-class worlds during that time.

This was supposed to be an application that was killed.

But Mr. Hunter didn't know why he suddenly agreed again, and risked being found out by allocating the transfer door to us, and now everyone is speculating about what made him change his mind.

We thought through all the variables and finally agreed that it should be relevant to you. Tell me honestly, what did you say to Mr. Hunter that made the stubborn him suddenly change his temper?

Does he have any handle on you? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I've always been loyal to my superiors. But maybe it was his elm head that suddenly opened up. ”

The smile on Mason's face grew even more when he heard the secret.

Confident in the outcome of this temptation, he threw away the half-burning cigarette in his hand, trampled it out, and replied:

"Thank you for your help, Judy, you see, since you're awake now, don't sleep. Help Barbara check the data and information left in her mind and kill her.

By the way, give me a copy of the very powerful separation chip before, I'm in a hurry.

This time it's kind of hiring you.

I will never let you do it for nothing, and then you will be paid. ”

"I see, I'll talk to Barbara."

Judy said in an unhappy tone:

"Whatever you want to do, be careful, Mason, the afterlife team is starting to like your style, don't play yourself out."

Mason hung up the communication, and stretched his body in a comfortable mood, this emotion was captured by the sorting hat on his head, and Mr. Hat snorted, and said in Mason's heart:

"Is this finally finding an accomplice?"

"Don't say it so ugly, Hat."

Mason corrected:

"Just discerning who is going to pull us up at a critical moment, it's always nice to find new people. By the way, about what I promised you

Are you ready to watch the fall of the traitors? ”

"Huh?"

The Sorting Hat was nasal in surprise.

But it knew that Mason was not a man of words, so he asked with great interest:

"Amaterasu's demise must have made the other two families wary, what are you going to do this time?"

"Those wizarding traitors with demons in their hearts are now searching the world for the murderous Hogwarts beasts. What do you think they would have done if they had been given the exact location of the perpetrator and a treasure left behind after the destruction of the world? ”

Mason glanced back at Gotham, which was brightly lit in the night behind him, and said:

"You see, I'm going to face the high-end spellcasters of the Justice League and the whole world in Gotham, my dear hat, if I'm not going to tie my hands down, I'm going to have to find some 'outside help' for myself.

Of course, to do this, you have to prepare enough bait to add another fire to their fears and greed, so that they can willingly go to their own end. ”

With a flick behind the young man, a small fragment of a blood-red philosopher's stone fell into the palm of his hand, and he said:

"That's not enough, you might have to come up with something of value to offer for revenge as a sacrifice, a hat."

"Sacrifices are not a problem."

The Sorting Hat became agitated, and it said in the old man's euphoric voice:

"But how do you convince them? Those great wizards weren't stupid. ”

"One rumor in Star Castle is enough, and I have friends who can help us with this."

With a rather relaxed and assured smile on his face, Mason said:

"And I have a superior who is high enough and also disgruntled with the Stars Society, and she is happy to see a group of traitors who have no bottom line to stain the stars, and she is naturally willing to cooperate with us in sending them to the Jedi.

In my eyes, this is already more than half of the story. ”

After a few minutes, Mason, who had relieved a lot of pressure in his heart, hummed a song and returned to the Batmobile to continue his journey towards Wayne Manor.

"What's wrong with you? Found money? Laughing so happily. ”

Za Kang looked back at Mason with a happy face in surprise, and said:

"Is there something good going to happen, let's share it?"

"The good thing is that you didn't just go to the watchtower to save people this time."

Mason glanced at Zakang and said:

"You may have to help us bring back a few captives, which should be quite tricky characters, so you guys will have to replan your operations."

"Not necessarily!"

Za Kang waved his hand, squeezed his eyes and said:

"I've always done things by feeling, and unlike you, I'm more inclined to leave everything to luck, and my luck, though bad, is weirdly good at such a fatal event.

Let's talk about personal matters, as I said before, I'm going to develop some relationship with Colypso that goes beyond friendship, and she's vulnerable right now, so it's a good opportunity to take advantage of it.

You shouldn't ban 'office love', right? ”

"Whatever you want, don't let Xiao Zha find out and ga you again, although I have potions that can make you grow some nasty organs again, but what to say?

These things are better than the originals, right? ”

Mason coughed, and decided to keep his simple juvenile persona from expressing his opinion on this damn obscenity, lest Catwoman, whose face was already not quite right, give him a sword.

Soon, the gate of Wayne Manor appeared in front of the group, but instead of taking the main gate, they turned to the waterfall in the back mountain and drove all the way into the bat cave.

Ah Fu is already waiting here.

Batman's most trusted old butler is here alone, but next to him are four high-looking, armed robot assistants.

"He's over to you, Ah Fu."

Mason slipped Dr. Zola out of the car, and the guy projected his face as he was treated with four ray guns pointed at the monitor and data core, and said goodbye to Mason with a wink.

Very "sincerely" thanks to Team K for sparing his life.

"Mason, can I talk to you alone?"

After Dr. Zola was sent to the confinement chamber of the Bat Cave, the old butler said to Mason with a blank face, and the young man did not refuse to walk with him to a secluded area on the edge of the cave.

Before Mason could speak, Ah Fu came with a vigorous punch.

The old man, who was an ace agent when he was young, did not hesitate at all, and the punch to Mason's cheek made the young man grin.

It hurts, not very much.

After all, he had also drunk the potion of unicorn blood, had been strengthened by the benefits of the Star Society, and used the Isu serum, and his physique had officially entered the superhuman realm, and he was not capable of being a bad old man.

Even if it's a housekeeper in front of him, after all, there is no "superhuman medicine" for Ah Fu to use here.

"You bastard!"

Alfred, who always maintained the demeanor of a British gentleman, would angrily reprimand:

"Lord Wayne trusts you so much! He's even broken his rules for you, he's even made Robin's uniform for you, but what have you done!

Black Gate Prison, Arkham Asylum, Penguins! Mason, what other bad things have you done that we don't know about?

You damn liar! ”

"Well, is it okay to save a lonely city from another apocalypse without you knowing, and to send nearly a million people away from death in one go last night?"

Mason rubbed his chin and said softly to the surprised old butler:

"You have to understand, Alfred, that not every world is lucky enough to have the Justice League and Batman. I've deceived Bruce here, but I promise that everything I do in the rest of the world is exactly what he teaches.

If he had seen me in person, he would have given me a thumbs up.

Ford

I'm sorry, I didn't want to lie to you, but things came to a better place, and I didn't have any choice at that time. ”

"He may forgive you, but I won't!"

The old butler, still angrily, stepped forward and grabbed Mason's collar, and he whispered:

"Barbara, Jason, and Ms. Selena! The roots of the entire bat family are about to be hollowed out by you! Do you want to take risks and play with your life, but you also want to take those children with you? ”

"On that note, I admit that I did not do it properly."

Mason raised his hands and said with a little embarrassment:

"But I promise they won't be hurt until I die, and I'll make it up to them if I have the chance."

"You'd better guarantee it!"

Ah Fu let go of Mason in a huff.

He glared fiercely at the young man, straightened his collar and turned away, and after taking a few steps, the old man sighed again, turned his head and said to him:

"I may be too old to understand the meaning of your journey through the worlds, but please take care of them and take care of yourself.

All right? ”

"Hmm."

Mason nodded, watching Ah Fu leave.

Then, he glanced back at the movement in the darkness behind him, and said:

"What are you hiding there for? Would you be so sneaky in your own home? ”

"Of course, it's up to you to take the initiative to send it to the door and think about how to retaliate. The good news is that I cracked your damn magic potion and remembered in advance what you made me forget.

The bad news is that one of us has to be beaten up here today.

Guess who it would be? ”

Damian Wayne, dressed in his star-spotted pajamas, jumped out of hiding with a katana as tall as the others with a cold face, gesturing as if wondering where the knife would hurt Mason more.

But the young man rubbed his chin and looked at the little madman in front of him with a strange gaze, although he had broken the Forgetting Potion, but was gradually becoming normal.

How could there be so many words in the past? Straight to the knife cut up.

After a few seconds, Mason suddenly spoke:

"Damian, were you serious last time?

It's about you wanting to join Team K, and I was reminded that instead of letting someone else take you away with rhetoric, maybe I should give you a chance."
