A scream came from the dimly lit sewers, causing Zatana to shrink her neck as she stood at the entrance.

The kind-hearted White Wizard turned his head and tried to throw a recon spell at the entrance to the sewer behind him to see what was going on with Black Adam, but was immediately stopped by Harley Quinn, who was "putting on makeup" for his weapon next to him.

Hallie, who was in a good mood tonight, shook her double ponytail and used her nail polish to paint on the black pistol Mason gave her, trying to transform it into a "pretty look" that matched the girl's heart.

"Xiaozha, don't go to see it, good boy!"

She shook her head and leaned against the entrance wall of the sewer on Naho Island, threw a piece of bubble gum into her mouth and chewed it, and dissuaded in her own sharp and energetic voice:

"My little sweetheart doesn't want you to see you, just close your eyes and be good so that you won't be beaten."

"Just you?"

Zatanna pursed her lips.

She played with her magic wand and brushed her long straight black hair, and said to Harley:

"If it weren't for John's sake, I would have thrown you into the sea of light when you held me hostage, don't mess with the magician, little girl."

"Smack"

Harley responds by blowing a large pink bubble and chewing it again after it breaks.

Apparently he didn't care about Xiaozha's threat.

A few minutes later, Mason's wobbly figure appeared at the entrance to the sewers.

With a cheer, Harley rushed up to help the cute and powerful Mr. K, and helped him drag the weakened and unconscious Black Adam out of the sewer with his cloak, kicking the King of Kandak into the nearby sewage ditch.

Mason himself still looked like he was coughing and would collapse at any moment, but the black ring on his left hand was eerily bursting with small bolts of lightning.

It's like reminiscing about the "food" you just swallowed.

The wonderful taste of the divinity of the "Seven in One" made the Black Death Sword a little unstoppable, and if it wasn't for Mason's obstruction, it would definitely eat Black Adam, the kind that didn't even have a scumbag left.

This scene frightened Zatanna.

She couldn't understand how Mason did it, but she knew Black Adam's strength, and if Mason could easily get rid of the magic king, then rushing up to it would be to deliver the food.

Reason made her give up the armed struggle, which made Mason breathe a sigh of relief.

With the dejected appearance of him and Harley now, if Xiao Zha gritted his teeth and came up recklessly, the two of them would have no way to escape, and they could only go to the black prison of the mystery house to be an outlaw mandarin duck.

But that's not a bad thing.

Maybe after living in the black prison of the mystery house for a long time, you can meet another guy who is also surnamed "Mei".

In short, fortunately, the white wizard was frightened.

Mason sat down on a nearby stone with Harley's support, and rubbed the Sorting Hat in his hand as he pulled out a bottle of brown owl and poured it into his hands.

He said:

"I killed Igor, but you don't seem to be as excited as you were last time, Hat, and I can feel like you've been thinking more than just revenge since you learned from Professor McGonagall that there were still a bunch of young wizards alive.

At least not as keen as it used to be. ”

In the face of Mason's inquiry, the hat was not tucked away, and it protruded a vague face on the outside, and replied:

"You can always let go when you have nothing, because existence and outcome mean nothing to you, but hope is a wonderful thing.

It can make a coward a warrior overnight, and it can also bring a heartless avenger back to reason. ”

The hat paused and said:

"I confess that I want to let the poor children who have escaped the end live a new life in a new world more than cold blood.

You helped Peter Parker and his world, and you saved Jack Sparrow and his last people from the fire in the apocalypse.

You are a true benefactor.

Not only has a kind heart, but also has the skill to practice kindness.

Mason Cooper, I ask you as the Four Wizards Resounder, would you be interested in becoming the Honorary Headmaster of the new Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? You see, the keys to the Headmaster's Office are in your hands anyway, and the Phoenix of the Dumbledore family is also in your hands.

It may have been a choice of fate. ”

"Not interested! You know me, hat, I'm so busy right now. Fight with the stars, fight with Quint, and try to survive in the dangerous parallel world of the Dark Ages with my companions.

In the terrible situation where his vitality was little regained, but the injuries of the rejection reaction were not relieved in the slightest, Mason played with his hat and glanced at Zatanna, who was pinching his nose and unleashing his magic to fish Black Adam out of the sewage ditch.

He whispered in his heart:

"But I have a piece of advice for you, hat. You see, there is only one spellcaster in Team K, John, and I don't think his personality is suitable for education.

Unless you want to see the kids of Hogwarts become a bunch of drug-promiscuous bastard wizards.

But even though I've come to the point of fighting each other, I still believe that the local spellcasters who are going to arrest me are theoretically decent heroes.

Even Black Adam

In addition to the overemphasis on authority and power, he is actually a qualified ruler and elder, at least their personal integrity can be guaranteed.

So you don't have to bother finding a home for those children.

My opinion is that in the event that Team K can't accept these little oil bottles, it would be nice to hand them over to these locals to take them, and even their nanny I have chosen.

And voila, Zatanna Zatara!

The white wizard with an excellent family inheritance and an innocent background is almost synonymous with the perfect spellcaster in his life, except for the small stain of having a romantic relationship with Konstantin.

With the relationship between Batman and John, these children will definitely be well cared for and nurtured by Xiaoza, what do you say? ”

Mason's refusal disappointed the Sorting Hat a bit.

He was silent for a few seconds, then sighed and said:

"It's not that you can't think about it, what you said makes sense, the exciting life of Team K is really not very suitable for a group of fledgling little wizards who have encountered twists and turns in life.

I just regret that the past and future of a thousand-year-old academy and a world have collapsed. ”

"It's always the people who matter."

Mason breathed a sigh of relief, got up with Harley's help, lifted the gray and worn box at his feet, walked over to Zatana, and said in his heart:

"No matter who these little wizards grow up with or learn from, they will never forget the legacy of Hogwarts. And when they grow up, the new Hogwarts will naturally take root in this world for another thousand years.

The premise is that the world is not destroyed by the impact.

But that's what we've been working on, so hopefully, hat, like me, believe that all stories will have a good ending. ”

"Smack"

Newt's Wizard's Infinity Chest was placed at Tinza's feet.

Mason, who was being supported, reached out and put the hat that had been transformed back into a Panama hat on his head, and he looked at Zatana, whose big eyes were surging with vigilance, and whispered:

"Right here, Zatana, we met for the first time. That's when Batman invited you and John to save me, and although I didn't really need it at the time, I always remember your help.

We are not enemies. ”

"I guess believe that."

Xiao Zha pursed her lips, staring at Mason in front of her, and she whispered:

"Batman trusts you a lot, and I think I can too. None of this is it, though."

"It's not! Don't think about it, this is the story of a hidden dangerous guy who was discovered by the heroes of justice and jumped over the wall in a hurry, there are not as many twists and turns as you think, and there is no private collusion. ”

Mason pouted and said:

"There's something in this box, I hope you can take care of them, there should be some magical beasts in it, it's a 'child support' paid in advance.

Also, Xiaozha, although John is a scumbag, he really cares about you.

After all this is over, give him another chance. ”

After saying that, he looked down at the time of his watch, smiled at Harley beside him, released his beloved flying motorcycle, and said:

"Let's go, Hallie, it's time for us to leave."

Harley carefully and warmly helped the frail Mason into the body, put on his safety helmet, then got on his bike and looked back at Zatanna, twisted the handlebar and slammed the accelerator into the already quiet night sky.

Zatanna didn't stop the whole process.

After watching Mason disappear, Zha set his eyes on the chest in front of him, with a piece of paper attached to the very special and complex magic lock of the box.

The process of how to open this box is written in detail.

As one of the world's best spellcasters, it took Zatana a few minutes to unravel the intricate locks, opening the chest to reveal that it was filled with a variety of precious spell books.

But that's just a disguise.

She closed the box as described in the note, flipped the hidden Traceless Extension Charm switch, and reopened the box to reveal a staircase that seemed to lead to another world.

Xiao Zha could even hear the high-pitched, frightened shouts coming from below the dark staircase, as if there were many people running around and others crying.

It made her and frowned.

Instead of acting rashly, she signaled a rallying call.

Soon after, a nearby spellcaster rushed to join her, and after hearing that the chest had been captured from the wizards, the local casters immediately decided to gather to explore the dark secrets hidden within.

They stepped into it under the leadership of Xiao Zha, and as they reached the bottom of this magical chest with an internal space almost the size of a small town, the casters saw what they saw in front of them with a single exclamation.

Nearly two hundred children, all dressed in uniform robes, and some dressed in ordinary clothes, watched them vigilantly under the protection of a group of strange animals.

They range from ten years old to young adults.

But without exception, their eyes were filled with the light of the same hatred, and they waved their wands and scolded the incoming, as if they were guarding what little of their world was left and their own already shattered dignity.

The tears in the eyes of those children shook Xiao Piercing's heart.

"Lay down your arms!"

Combined with Mason's previous message, Xiao Zha immediately understood, and she immediately asked the spellcasters behind her to stop moving forward, and she also put down her magic wand.

She looked at the children in front of her, who were most likely the last remaining orphans in another world, she took a deep breath, spread her hands to them, and said:

"Don't be afraid, the evil wizards from the Stars Society have been defeated by us, and no one will harm you. I swear in the name of the Zatara family, you are safe, children. ”

——

As the situation in Gotham intensifies, in the watchtower base suspended above the earth, the steel skeleton that should be the "human data core" to support the communication network of the capture operation can no longer transmit the real-time changes of the battle situation to his teammates.

Because the cyborg with a promising future is also in trouble.

"Ahh Get out of my head! ”

A terrible scream with electronic sounds echoed through the main control room of the watchtower space station, and the cyborg rolled on the ground with his head in his arms, the cyborg superhero would be very embarrassed.

The devices of various unknown technologies that have appeared on his body due to the fusion of the alien mother box are in an extremely chaotic state of excitation.

The sonic cannons extending from its arms are firing uncontrollably in all directions, its cool outer armor is turning on and off, and the energy engine and two circulating devices are running in reverse.

Worst of all, the entire main system of the watchtower, which is connected to the Cyborg Quantum Brain, is in a state of total collapse.

But don't worry about this priceless watchtower falling tonight, as an even more mysterious data life is quickly "taking over" here.

In the data realm of the Steel-Bone Quantum Brain, he is fighting with a strange life composed entirely of data for control of his every thread and module.

Relying on the blessing of the unknown technology brought by the mother box, he did not collapse at the same touch as the evil consciousness in Bizaro's mind, Anim Zola.

He still has the ability to fight back, but the situation is not good.

"What have you done to me? You data witch! ”

The steel-boned consciousness roared in its own quantum brain.

In front of him, the huge humanoid data life that had no complete form at all, but was composed of a huge data stream that simulated a body, replied in an indifferent and calm tone:

"I didn't upload any viruses to you, Cyborg, no, Victor Stone, you seem to prefer the name.

I'm not smart enough to crack the mysteries of the Mother Box, it's at least two generations ahead of me, and you could have easily fended off my invasion, yet you don't seem to know more about it than I do.

You have a terrible weapon, but you have no idea what to do with it.

As for your current embarrassment, it's not my destruction, it's just that when I invaded your quantum brain, I activated a special programming mode Trojan virus hidden in your subsystem.

I'm curious.

With an advanced data framework like yours, didn't you find the existence of that virus?

Finally, my name is Ott, Ott Cunningham.

This is my name when I was a human, you can call me that. ”

"No, I don't have a virus in my body!"

Cyborg stubbornly denied it:

"The first thing I do when I wake up every day is to do a system self-check on myself, and if there is, I can't go without noting."

"Restarting yourself after a timed shutdown and a period of system silence is not called 'getting up', and you don't need to sleep, it's just that you're forcibly imitating human habits.

And yet you don't notice that you can live even without this deformed and stubborn habit.

And more freedom. ”

Data Life Ultra from 2077 replied in a calm tone:

"It's an amazing choice that you have chosen between infinite freedom and what remains of humanity. But sadly, today I have to restrain you, Victor.

The trillions of calculations I have drawn confirm the necessity of today's action, and Mason Cooper does not understand that the help he receives does not stem solely from his friendship with the Afterlife.

As for the virus you strenuously deny, it does exist. ”

Ultra waved his hand, and a line of complex data was suspended in this steel-bone quantum brain in a visible posture, from the underlying framework to the coding form, she completely cracked it.

Steelbone looked at this line of data, and after a few seconds of stunned, he scolded in a low voice:

"The Krypton data encoding program also reversely cracked the outer firewall of the mother box technology, no wonder I didn't notice it, Fakebaxman! But I'm curious, when did he upload the virus to me? ”

This question caused Ott to hesitate for a few seconds, then said:

"When you first officially met, the day you were introduced to the Justice League by Wonder Woman, the day you officially became his teammate."

When these words were spoken, the two data beings fell silent at the same time, and after a few seconds, Ott, who had cracked the main program of the watchtower, spoke:

"I have to say that no matter how I look at Batman as an individual, the conclusions I can draw are quite distorted.

It is clear that you are taking a doomsday survivalist who is completely distrustful of others, suspected of having serious mental illness and persecution paranoia, as a credible ally, and choosing to obey his leadership.

Even if he has been planning and updating his means of countering you from the moment he met you.

Hmm, is this the unique way of friendship between transhumans in this world?

It's funny. ”
