Gotham City, in the afternoon, at Dr. Leslie's clinic in Crime Lane, less than forty minutes before Team K's scheduled time for action.

Mason estimated that he had just passed through the World Gate that he had just been captured, but the casters had not yet arrived, and they were probably stopped by the master.

That's good.

It was just convenient for him to deal with some "personal" affairs before the official opening of the film.

Batman is supposed to be laying out a tactical plan for the spellcaster and the vanguard members of the Justice League, and in a sense, this tactical meeting is the equivalent of Mason and the enemy together.

"Resign?"

Dr. Leslie, who had just spent a busy day and was about to pack her things for work, looked radiant, and the beauty potion from Mason made her feel like she was rejuvenated.

However, when he saw the resignation letter handed by Mason who suddenly appeared in front of him, the cold-faced and hot-hearted doctor was still stunned.

She looked at the young man in front of her in surprise and said:

"Is something wrong? You're leaving Gotham? ”

"Pretty much, for some personal reason that will surely scare you when I say it, I may have to say goodbye to the city for a while."

Mason, who was wearing a gray trench coat, played with the Panama hat in his hand, he looked at his surroundings with a hint of regret and nostalgia, and said:

"Today is my last day at the clinic, and thank you, Dr. Leslie, for a very fulfilling and rewarding time for my life.

You have taught me a lot.

If I had to start all over again, I would have liked to have spent my entire youth here, but unfortunately, there was no chance to start over in life. ”

Dr. Leslie nodded with some regret.

Although there are some complaints about Mason, an employee who often disappears suddenly for days, the doctor feels very sorry for the amazing talent that this young man has shown in the field of first aid.

If Mason hadn't been a superhero and secret vigilante, he would have made a very good and talented surgeon.

Of course, Dr. Leslie was also troubled by the fact that his clinic's back kitchen might have to find another chef.

"Others are okay to say, but Wendy is going to be sad."

Dr. Leslie put Mason's resignation letter in his drawer, and she took a large box of "beauty potions" that Mason sensibly handed over.

That's enough for doctors to use for more than half a year.

It was very flattering as a parting present, and it also put Dr. Leslie in the mood to joke:

"You know that little girl has always admired her, but you have always been very close to her. Mason, you have your secret life, but even Batman needs Catwoman's company, and you can't always say no to every good girl who tries to come into your life.

It's like a ship that no matter how adrift it is on the sea, there will always be a day when it returns to the dock. ”

"I know, but I'm currently entering a dark time in my life, too dangerous for a good girl like her. She deserves someone better, and I'm sure she'll meet it. ”

Mason stood up, put on his hat and said:

"Call Gordon to pick you up, doctor, it's safer to stay with him for the next few days, and don't hang out after an early night's rest."

He glanced out the window at dusk and whispered:

"After a short period of time, it is estimated that this city that has really 'lived' will not be very peaceful."

"Is it so serious?"

Dr. Leslie sensed that Mason had something to say, and immediately rubbed his forehead with some headache and said:

"I just felt that the security on this side of Crime Alley has been much better recently, and I heard that there is a masked female vigilante with a double ponytail who is moving around, working with a baseball bat and is quite ruthless.

Several nearby streets were leveled by her. ”

Hearing this, the corners of Mason's mouth twitched, and he said that Harley had been playing quite big lately.

He said goodbye to Leslie and walked out of the clinic with a hat, a trench coat and an umbrella, only to see Wendy, a young nurse who came to the clinic for the night shift.

The latter's cheeks flushed when he saw Mason, and he stepped forward to say hello, but saw Mason wave at her and said:

"Come home, little girl, Dr. Leslie just said that tonight is a special situation, and you are not allowed to work overtime."

"Huh?"

The little nurse's eyes widened, and she asked in a low voice:

"Is something wrong?"

"Well, I guess there's probably a shootout or something around tonight, after all, it's not uncommon in Gotham."

Mason showed a gentle smile, he thought for a moment, and said:

"I have to thank you for helping me all this time, Wendy, so I decided to give you a gift, it's already hidden in your car, go get it."

Hearing this, the little nurse's face turned even redder.

She also thought that this was her own intention, and finally was realized by the sunny and handsome little brother Mason, and the clouds opened to see the moon, so that she walked back to her car quickly with anticipation.

There is a booklet in the driver's seat.

It was the "Midnight Doctor's First Aid Manual" that Mason had bought in the Stars Club's trading floor, along with a farewell letter.

Wendy, who was sitting in the car, cried after reading the letter.

The poor good girl's relationship ended without a hitch, and the city of chaos had another sad person tonight.

Ah, damn Mason, the evil alchemist who is plotting to beat the Justice League to save his friends and then fly away, what a sinful fellow.

——

"Hi Mason! You'd never guess what I just saw! On the corner of the back street, there was a very cute and gentle nurse on the side of the road, sitting in the car and crying.

Said he was abandoned by a bastard with a crush.

What a hateful fellow, don't get caught by me or reward him a few times.

She was so bold that she almost got entangled in parking around the neighborhood alone, and I gave her ice cream and taught her a lesson to harass her to get her up.

Her name is Wendy!

We also left each other's contact information! Why are you packing up? Going out on vacation? ”

More than 20 minutes later, in Mason's shop, Harley Quinn, the new "masked vigilante" and Cooper's shop watchwoman who was carrying a blood-stained baseball bat, was "returning from patrolling the territory" and knew something was going on when she saw Mason packing up his things.

Later, under her questioning, she heard the news that Mason was leaving.

But unlike Wendy, the sad little nurse, Mason's "patient" behaved quite calmly.

There were even some cheers.

"Huh? You've finally made up your mind to get out of this city, okay, when are we leaving? Need me to pack a few extra pieces of clothing? Need to bring beach pants and a bikini?

Can we go to a place with a beach? ”

She casually threw away the baseball bat in her hand, ran to the closet on the second floor and began to rummage through her messy clothes, like a "Mason, where am I going" expression.

This gesture of relying on "Mr. K" looks at Mason with a headache.

He persuaded:

"You can't go where you're going, Harley, you just stay here, Ivy might be back in a few days, and you don't want your best friend to be alone in Gotham, right?"

"But I'm not cured yet!"

Harry's sharper and sharper voice came from the second floor, and she said with a wave of anger:

"How can you, doctor, be so irresponsible? You promised to heal me! ”

"Ivy can make all the medicines you need to take for a long time, and you don't need me anymore."

No sooner had Mason's words begun than a slamming gunshot rang out from the second floor.

Flying kinetic bullets grazed Mason's feet and hit the ground, and the masonry and stone splashed twice, shattering a bottle of aromatic potion on the shelf, filling the shop with fragrance.

"So you're going to abandon me?"

Harley Quinn, wielding a pink girl's heartbeat revolver, stood on the edge of the second floor, put the muzzle of the gun to her chin, and cried:

"Mr. J abandoned me, and now Mr. K is going to get rid of me, I must have done something bad! I probably don't need to live anymore after such a failure.

Goodbye, Mr. K.

Goodbye, this terrible world."

"Don't make a fuss, little drama spirit, there's just a bullet in that gun, I just checked."

Mason covered his head and said:

"Okay, okay, I'll take you to that new place, and I can arrange for you and Ivy to continue to work together and give you a new job, but Harley, it's your own choice, don't complain to me about any danger in the future."

"Nope! You haven't said the most important thing yet! ”

Harley Quinn dropped a weird doll bear stuffed with bombs on the second floor, and she screamed:

"You have to promise!"

"Okay, I promise, I'll continue to be your attending physician."

Mason's heart was even more tired, and he raised his wrist to look at the time, and the communicator in his ear came out one after another "in place" signals to make him breathe a sigh of relief.

He raised his head and beckoned to Harley, who was smiling big and humming again, and continued to turn around to pack his clothes, and said:

"Now let's go have a meal, I'm too lazy to cook for myself tonight, let's go out and eat." After all, you have to eat enough to get on the road. ”

"Yay! First date with Mr. K. ”

When Hallie heard that Mason was going to take her out to dinner, she cheered and threw her clothes all over the place.

"It's not a date, forget it, how happy you are."

Mason tried to explain, but waved his hand when he saw Harley grab the no-bullet pistol again, giving up on explaining and correcting it.

The two went out on their beloved motorbike all the way through the streets and alleys, got off at a famous restaurant nearby, and ordered a table full of dishes.

Harley, who is in a good mood, can't keep her mouth idle when she eats, and her unique high-pitched voice is indeed a little noisy at first hearing, but it will feel strange when you get used to it.

In particular, she is always grinning, and it is easy to infect the mood of the people around her.

She describes to Mason the fun things she encountered, and Mason nods his head as he eats, relieving his boredom and relieving the pressure of the approaching big war.

Ten minutes later, Mason, who had just refused the cherry cake that Hallie had graciously brought to his mouth, suddenly put down his knife and fork, frowned, and picked up his flip phone that kept vibrating in his pocket to glance at the number.

Boy!

The 23-digit number is really the first time I have seen it in my life, what kind of cross-world communication black technology is this? He didn't remember that he had leaked his number to such a powerful person.

Alas, the telecom fraud and other bad things that this phone number leak will lead to are really hard to prevent.

Can't you be in a happy mood and eat this farewell dinner quietly with a neurotic but pleasing beautiful girl?

"Hello?"

He put his phone to his ear and said:

"Who?"

"Mason, in about ten minutes the 'guests' you invited will enter your world, and I'll send them to your little shop in Crime Alley."

Healy knocked on the table, picked up the application information in front of him, and read it out one by one:

"Their team is composed of 2 senior B-class members leading 14 B-class personnel and 32 C-class personnel, all of whom are high-level spellcasters certified by the Star Castle Adventure Guild.

If you count the various bizarre props in their hands, then this is already the weight of an advance team that can explore the A-class world head-on and establish a 'safe zone' in it.

I hope you're prepared for that.

Of course, I've got a report of their accidental deaths ready, and you'd better give me a reasonable reason to spend less time on this foolish thing.

Finally, I just read the battle summary that the Dlastain program sent back to me, and instead of killing Colypso, you recruited her to your team.

What a bold act.

But I still have to make sure, has Colypso's divinity been obtained? ”

"Well, it's in my hands, being studied by my peers."

As Mason spoke, he smiled at Hallie, who was dressed very ladylike across the table, and Hallie, who was peeking at Mason's phone call, quickly wiped her mouth and responded with a sweet perfect smile.

He lowered his head and said to the other end of the phone:

"But it seems that your superiors haven't told you what happened over there, and to avoid your fuss, Ciri, I have to tell you in advance that we have killed all the invading mad dogs there and collected a conqueror."

There was silence on the other end of the line.

After a moment, Ciri the Hunter sighed and said:

"Whenever I think I've touched the limits of Team K, you'll show me what you're capable of with the fact that you're a bolt from the blue, well, it looks like I'm going to have to raise my expectations of you again.

However, it's not a matter that Team K is always so low-key, and even if someone helps you cover up unplanned things, sooner or later someone will find out about it.

So, after you turn in your divinity, I'll arrange for you to enter the B-rank promotion mission? In this way, it is good to promote you in the name of righteousness. ”

"B-rank Promotion Mission"

A flash of lightning flashed through Mason's mind, and then he narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, and he said:

"Absolutely! But I'll pick the time, okay? Also, remember my last proposal? If your supervisor asks you to do something else, remember to discuss it with me in advance.

At least at the moment when we trust each other, it's a good thing to be able to give you another way of thinking, right? ”

"We'll talk about that later."

Mr. Hunter is clearly somewhat evasive from the topic.

But instead of rejecting Mason's offer, she reminded:

"I'm not going to ask you who gave you that transfer door, Mason, but be careful when dealing with those people, you're 'unique' and you may not realize it yourself.

Maybe that's why they reach out to you.

You can call me if you have trouble lately.

But it's best not to get in trouble. ”

"Roger, my superior, thank you for your concern, and I'll get back in touch later."

Mason set a 10-minute countdown for his watch, and then reached out to the waiter at the restaurant to pay the bill, while whispering to the other side of the phone:

"Please take care of yourself in this stormy time, too."

Ps：

The busy New Year is finally over, and with full of tiredness, it is time to devote itself to the endless code word business, and I always feel that the New Year is still busy with usual.

Say something happy.

This month's monthly pass successfully exceeded 20,000 chapters, and 10 chapters will be added next month, and then counting the alliance leaders of the three brothers, "Starsfalling", "Stacking Armor丨 Pass" and "Huo Quanting is Good", the addition should be 25+3 during the Lantern Festival, that is, on February 5th.

This number always feels terrifying

In short, there are six days left, so stay tuned.
