Mr. Hunter was still very reliable at the critical moment, and within a few minutes, a flickering silver light lit up in the underground cave hall of Nandarbat.

But it wasn't the Hunter himself who teleported, but a strange steam-style beetle-type machine.

As soon as it appeared, it began to compile a light curtain and project a vivid cross-world projection in a matter of seconds, even revealing the background of Mr. Hunter's area.

She seems to be on some kind of high-altitude flying object.

The distant sky burns with an eerie glow, like walking and hunting in a world that has been set on fire.

Although it is still the combination of the starry sky mask and cloak that has not changed for thousands of years, just by looking at the momentum of Mr. Hunter's whole person, you know that she should be "very busy".

"Tell me, Mason."

She said in a woman's voice disguised as a man:

"You'd better not get into some trouble that requires me to intervene now, as you can see, I'm going to do my 'business' now."

"I saw it, it seems to be very powerful."

Mason looked at the flaming streamers around her, and asked weakly and curiously:

"Where is this?"

"An A-class world that is about to be thrust into the sun."

Mr. Hunter didn't hide it, and replied directly:

"It defused the shock with our help, but the opposing world's desperate counterattack at the last moment sent the Earth out of orbit and accelerated into the sun.

We've tried a lot of things, but it's hopeless.

The world-class transfer is underway, and the enemies who have not been cleaned up are still desperately trying to pull everything here into the apocalypse, it's a mess! ”

"Will the A-class world also suffer such a fate?"

Mason raised an eyebrow and asked:

"To be able to make such a powerful world to such an embarrassing point, the other party who collided should also be."

"Yes, another unknown A-class world, it seems that the civilization of the Near-Zerg is very aggressive, and I am about to deal with their queen bugs."

Mr. Hunter shook his head and said:

"Don't be emotional, if things continue to develop, sooner or later your side will face such a situation. Now, hurry up and talk about it. ”

"Divinity from Colypso."

Mason shook the coral trident in his hand and said:

"I'm going to hand it over, do you want to find a time to pick it up?" Or open a door to the Star Castle and I'll send it to you myself? ”

"Stay with you for now."

Mr. Hunter's figure in the projection shone, and the silver light burst out like a dozen illusory figures attacking in all directions at the same time, and the blood splashed back to the spot and shook the blood droplets on the long sword in his hand.

This cool scene saw several people around looking at each other, who is the very powerful character at this glance?

Sounds like Mason and Team K's backers in the Stars?

But Ciri really couldn't find time to come to Mason, and she didn't notice Mason's "careful thinking" when he said that he was going to "hand in the task" but actually shook people to help.

She said:

"Keep those divinities, and I'll go over and get them as soon as this side is done. Also, what's going on with this application? Didn't you say you should think about it before moving on a promotion mission? Why are you so proactive all of a sudden?

Wait a minute!

Are you kid causing trouble again? Want to get out of it with an excuse?

Damn it!

I knew it! ”

She glanced back at Mason with hindsight, and the young man shrugged his shoulders and said:

"It's impossible for a weak C-class of mine to operate in a dangerous super-A-class world without accidents, and the powerful spellcasters of this world have sealed the world gate in my hand.

I can't use them right now, and they're being hunted down by some powerful people.

I could be caught at any moment.

I'll write you a report on the situation, but I really need to get into that promotion mission now, and I need a door that won't be sealed. ”

"You're going to get me in trouble!"

Ciri scolded with a headache:

"Swordsmen, warlocks, and a whole host of conquerors from the higher authorities are here, and I will be suspicious if I leave suddenly, and now that I am in this chaos, where can I find you a safe door to the world?"

"Don't be sneaky, just go through the normal procedure this time. Watch the back! ”

As Mason comes up with an idea, he reminds his boss to be careful of being attacked.

In the projection in front of him, Ciri's figure flickered, and a translucent version of the "clone" was separated, and he pounced on the army of jumping insects behind him with his sword.

A mountain in the distance was burned by the heavenly fire, like a nuclear bomb explosion sweeping through thousands of insect swarms, and this exciting scene made Hallie next to Mason shrink his neck.

"If my B-rank promotion order has already been issued to the Star Castle, then you can go through the process to arrange it, and I don't think your boss will want me to die here, after all, the forging method of the golden apple is still in my head.

And they should know that the Isu technology I gave them is not complete, and I am guarding against the embarrassing situation right now.

They can't sacrifice me. ”

He sighed and said to Ciri:

"Also, I want to ask, as your direct squad, can I still choose one of three promotion tasks like this?"

"I thought you were joking, but you turned out to be real."

Mr. Hunter said in a stunned tone:

"I can feel your weakness even through the projection, Mason, you feel like you've been sucked dry by a deerhead or a vampire. And your team doesn't seem to be around, and you can only find death if you go on that dangerous mission alone.

Right now!

Find a place to hide.

I'll go over and 'pick you up' when I'm done, even if you get caught by them, it's okay, I can always get you out." Alas, I have to live a few hundred years less with a subordinate like you who can cause trouble! ”

"No, I'll do it myself."

Mason glanced meaningfully at Talia behind him, and said:

"I just recruited a few strong new team members here, and I urgently need to run in the team and get used to the rhythm of the pioneering mission. I won't bother you if I don't pick the time, my dear boss.

To reiterate, the C-Class personnel of the Stars Society, Team K Captain Mason Cooper has now officially applied for the B-rank promotion process!

Please send a mission, Lord Hunter. ”

Seeing that Mason was so formal and as iron-hearted as Wang Ba, Mr. Hunter did not stop him anymore, and after a few contacts, she already had a deep understanding of Mason's abilities in all aspects.

The fact that this guy dared to do this proves that he must have his own plans.

"Okay, wait a minute."

Ciri nodded.

She summoned several conquistadors to help her stabilize her position, and then, under Mason's gaze, pinched out her crystal ID card and inserted it into one of the aerial vehicle's devices, editing the mission as she spoke:

"According to the normal process, the promotion tasks of B-level members are all selected and issued by the Star Castle, and there is no selection space for you.

But now that the third shock has just ended, the entire parallel world system is full of mourning, and many places are in urgent need of assistance after the disaster.

So we can bypass this process for the time being.

Now, get out your ID card, Mason.

Prepare to accept the task. ”

Mason squeezed his hands, and the bronze ID card jumped into his hand, and on top of the card made of strange runes, a line of beating text was being generated.

A few seconds later, Mr. Hunter added:

"At present, the three most suitable mission areas for you have been selected for you, and they are all support missions in B-tier worlds.

The first mission requires you to enter a world codenamed 'Cross-Dressing' and help our allies destroy the local resistance in a city in East Asia.

The power of that world is characterized by the ability of the qualified to obtain some very strange 'belts' and become superhuman through various forms of transformation.

They formed a rebel under the leadership of a fellow named the 'Time King', and fended off the local reception of the Star Society's vanguards.

Its weakest members are also in the B rank.

However, due to the effects of the Third Shock, most of the rebels disappeared in space, making the mission much less dangerous. ”

"Card face to fight?"

The more Mason listened, the more wrong he became, and he asked Mr. Hunter rhetorically as he finished his mission.

"Huh?"

His strange imitation pronunciation made Ciri stunned for a moment, then nodded and said:

"You know them? Well, it's true that 'Kamen Rider' means 'Kamen Rider' in Japanese. ”

"I don't want to go to this world!"

Mason immediately shook his head and refused:

"The power of those crazy people is not amazing at first glance, but in fact, if you know carefully, those things are all law-level transformations, and the time king who can travel through time at will and the little doctor who can pull people into a weird game without any reason are simply terrifying.

Especially the shameful lines and secondary two actions when they transformed, I don't want to deal with them at all.

That thing will cause me mental pollution and irreversible psychological shadows. ”

"Really? That's a shame. ”

Ciri shrugged her shoulders and sighed:

"I actually think those transformations are pretty handsome, and I have a torn knight's belt in my treasury. But if you don't want to, look at the others.

The second mission is to enter the world codenamed 'Stand-in' and help a guy named Dio destroy."

"Smash Varudo?"

Mason reacted faster this time, and he said with a blank face:

"So, is your ally over there the crumb-vampire who claims to treat ordinary humans as bread, but arrogantly has had a relationship with a piece of bread and has a baby?

No!

While the weird stand-in ability is really cool, I don't want to help him! Because I think it's good to be a human being, and I'm not ready to be sent into space to think about life.

Are you sure that the world that is also a law-level power is in effect is a B-class world?

That very unscientific global time stop alone would make it an A-class world, right? ”

"You know a lot."

Mr. Hunter pursed his lips, pushed the mask, and explained in a serious manner:

"Originally, it was indeed A-level or even super A-level, but that world was shattered, and after three consecutive shocks, only a few lonely cities were left in that world to resist.

Especially after the 'Worm Arrow', the origin of its world power system, was recycled into the home world by the conquerors, its rating continued to decline, and it is estimated that it will become a C-class world in another month.

Do you want to stop thinking about it?

The difficulty of this quest is perfect for you right now, and if you're lucky, you might be able to bring a few stand-ins back and become 'stand-in messengers', and to be honest, I've seen the madman Wade use that thing.

It's a little perverted, but it's pretty easy to use. ”

"No, I refuse, it's better not to put together this kind of thing that is different from my painting style."

Mason shook his head vigorously and said:

"Let's talk about the third one."

"You have a lot of!

The third mission is to complete the first exploration in a 'world' that was discovered during routine exploration more than a month before the impact, but has not had time to explore much. ”

Ciri snorted, frowned, and said:

"This task is the most difficult.

Several of the C-Class teams we've sent out before went missing as soon as they entered, and based on our observations, the weird world didn't seem to be affected by the Third Impact Event.

But for some unknown reason, that world is coming to an end.

According to the predictions of the Fate Machine, it will complete irretrievable self-destruction in a week, and it is for this reason that it is rated as a B-tier world.

But in fact, the power system of this world is an absolute A-level.

Even super A-class.

The mission objective doesn't limit you to looking for something specifically, but be sure to find a reason why it is not affected by the impact event, and preferably bring back documentary evidence.

This one is really dangerous.

If you really can't stand it, just find some news and find a place to get up and stay up for five days, and it doesn't matter if you get the lowest rating.

This is the promotion mission, Mason.

As long as you come back alive, you're done. ”

"Sounds good."

Mason rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, then chose this world on his ID card and checked the few temporary bounties hanging in it.

When he saw the task description of finding and collecting the "Divine Power Sample", Mason's eyes suddenly lifted.

He looked up and said to Mr. Hunter:

"There is divinity in this world, too?"

"Most A-class worlds have these things, but if you want to get them, you basically have to go out of the conqueror, and as an explorer, the members of the Star Society usually don't take on such a mission.

Because that's going to die. ”

Ciri advised:

"It's not clear if the higher authorities have sent conquerors into there, that strange world seems to be able to interfere with interworld communications, but if you do, don't get into a conflict with them.

Mason, this time I'm serious!

In missions like this, which are critical to the nature of the shock event and have a time limit, the conquerors that will be sent out are very strong and ruthless elite soldiers, and you will die there if you are not careful.

Even I won't have time to save you.

This time you really have to settle down, count me begging you, don't make trouble. ”

"I see."

Mason felt that Ciri's impression of himself was obviously very skewed, and he never took the initiative to find trouble, and it was all because things were entangled with him.

But he didn't take the time to explain, nodded and said:

"Now that I've been promoted and the K-Team World Gate is currently unusable, can I ask the Star Fortress to temporarily support a door in this situation so that I and my teammates can get out of this increasingly dangerous place?

Isn't that a backdoor?

You see, my companions and I are vowing to give everything to the dark cause of the Stars. ”

"You little clever ghost."

Ciri sighed and didn't answer.

She dissipated her projection to retrieve the strange beetle device, and a dozen seconds later, a dark red swirling streamer appeared in front of Mason's eyes as he waited.

This is not Ciri's ability, but a special kind of magic.

Mason, who had been playing with Zakang for a long time, also had a certain understanding of these mysterious things, and he could even see the ripples of several of the complex mana lines as they jumped.

"Huh"

A virtual projection of a dark red door to the world appeared in the light curtain, it was disembodied and composed entirely of energy, and the world coordinates of the doorknob had been set.

This time the door will probably break when Mason enters it.

He looked back at Talia and said:

"It's going to be very difficult this time, so you'd better get some good hands and come with me."

"Although it is obvious that you are using us, since the two sides want to form an alliance, I will not hesitate to help with all my might."

Mason's careful thinking did not hide from Talia, and the old lady stood up and took out a communicator and said to the other end, and a moment later, several people strode into the hall under Mason's gaze.

The tall man at the head covered his body in a black robe and seemed to be afraid of light, but those sharp eyes made Mason recognize him in an instant.

"Bane?"

Mason looked at him and said:

"You came out of Arkham's VIP room? How effective was the 'detoxification' I gave you? ”

"It's great, I've never been healthier than I am now."

Bane, who was forced to "quit drugs", replied in a cold and hoarse tone:

"But you've also made me a ghost, Mason."

"You should call me 'Captain.'"

Mason snorted.

He didn't care about Bane's threat at all, and looked behind him at a guy in full armor, with a black and red mask and two swords on his back.

He said:

"Deathstroke, why are you here to get involved in this? How much did Talia give you? ”

"It's not for money this time."

Deathstroke shrugged his shoulders and said in a flirtatious tone:

"Just to escape the apocalypse, what happened a few days ago scared me. I heard you can take people through the world? Little brother, you see I don't believe you.

But everyone wants to open their eyes, so let's show your hand and take a look. ”
