When Mason arrives on Paradise Island through the Hermes Rune, he sees that a huge transfer door has been generated, and at the urging of Thalia and Selena, many Amazon warriors are dragging their families through that door to the New World.

The reason why their actions went so smoothly was that two clever old aunts pretended to be ordered by Diana, the queen of war.

In particular, the Queen's unsevering Lasso of Submission and the Bladebreaker's Shield serve as tokens, leaving the fanatical and loyal Amazons without much suspicion.

But while these female warriors were advancing towards the Osborne Tower on the other side, there were also people who were moving from the Osborne Tower.

Zakang will be sitting on his zombie wyvern flying around in the sky, maintaining order and guiding the way, while looking at these muscular big sisters with sinister eyebrows.

It's quite a bit of a "concubine" feeling.

And when the bat girl who was traveling with her saw Mason, she immediately came over angrily.

Mason greeted him with a smile on his face, but Barbara waved her hand to fight, and because she couldn't do it, she could only turn to choke Mason's neck.

She shouted:

"You damn thing! You didn't tell us to come and do such a dangerous thing, and if something happened to me and I was asked to go back, how would you explain it to Gordon and Bruce?

That bastard is still hiding from you and saying that you are safe!

Safe fart!

Judy just told me that the world could collapse at any moment, and you're dancing on the tip of a knife! Do you think you're amazing? ”

"It's okay, saving another world makes me feel happy."

Mason coughed twice and squeezed his eyes and said, and the angry Barbara continued to exert force, and Mason couldn't breathe well between the prosthetic forces, but then, the bat girl let go of her hand.

She sighed and said:

"At least let us know in advance next time, okay? We are all companions, and we have at least the right to know, alas, I am really going to be by you and Selena.

Forget it, you hurry over.

Mr. Hunter will arrive at Osborne Tower at any moment, and so will Judy's captain.

The big guy says he's going to have to take time out to meet you as a 'legend', and there's an old lady who drinks well and praises you for being a true legendary mercenary.

It is also said to make you a drink named after you in her bar. ”

This unexpected news made Mason's eyes light up, and he immediately walked towards the transfer door ahead.

Barbara stayed here to enjoy the scenery of Paradise Island, and by the way, she talked to Harley Quinn about the girls, and seeing Mason disappear into the light curtain of the Diversion Gate, Barbara whispered to Hallie:

"Did you get it?"

"Oh, don't ask, it's just a little bit close!"

Annoyed, Hallie threw her baseball bat on the ground and stepped on it, and said to Barbara:

"It's all on base! I can feel that Mr. K's enthusiasm is being channeled out of me! Hell, the nasty heroes of this world suddenly rushed out and messed everything up.

But it doesn't matter, I feel like I'm already close to Mr. K.

Maybe I just need a good chance.

But, Barbara, why are you so keen on this? Mason still calls you sister. ”

Harley looked at the bat girl suspiciously, and the strange thoughts in her eyes made Barbara sigh helplessly, she looked left and right, and whispered:

"I just suspect that Mason may have been targeted by a bad woman, a yellow-haired girl from hell who doesn't say it explicitly, but her eccentric interest in Mason is obvious to even me as an onlooker.

You've got to speed up, Harley. ”

She urged:

"Get this done before Mason meets with the swordsman, lest the young man be deceived into his soul without a word."

"Hmph."

As soon as she heard that a bad woman was going to rob her of Mr. K, Harley suddenly became unhappy, she chewed the gum in her mouth fiercely, rolled her eyes, and pouted with her arms and said:

"Wrap it up on me! But I need you to do me a little favor. Come, I will whisper to you about my plan. ”

On Mason's side, on the square of Osborne Tower's Area A, almost a reproduction of the scene of the doomsday rescue a few days ago, once again reproduced the scene, attracting many onlookers.

And this time, the heavily armed Amazonian warriors who emerge from the diversion gate are clearly more eye-catching than a group of 18th-century sea refugees.

In order to keep this group of super capable guys from causing trouble, the old Green Goblin deployed his most elite defense force to guide these Paradise Islanders to the temporary residence prepared for them.

Deep in the polluted seas, a diversion door to Atlantis opens on an island.

Mason has no intention of transferring all the 7 billion people in the Old Lady's world here, the environment here is so badly damaged, and it is impossible for a post-apocalyptic wasteland to carry so many people here.

Therefore, he only plans to transfer the Amazons and Atlanteans here, and the rest will be assigned by Mr. Hunter to start a new life in a different world.

"Mason, over here!"

No sooner had he passed through the Diversion Gate than he heard a call.

Looking up, Judy, a tech girl, is waiting for him in a cyberpunk version of a small three-wheeled old man Le electric car, and after Mason gets in the car, Judy turns the steering wheel and takes him to a secret area.

She also told on the way:

"After hearing what you just did, the captain, they immediately left what they were doing and ran over, and you did another big sensation, Mason."

"Isn't it just a world?"

Mason was surprised and said:

"Although the Stars Club doesn't do anything, it's happened many times before to transfer the world, right? It doesn't get you so excited. ”

"No, that's different!"

Judy corrected:

"In the past, it was all collective action, with thousands of pioneer squads being commanded to advance mission after mission, but this time you almost single-handedly completed the entire process of discovering, pioneering, and transferring a world.

In particular, the fact that you were able to get in touch with the higher-ups directly by bypassing Mr. Hunter and having them mobilize a lot of resources to take your lead has completely surpassed the position of a C-class member of the Stars Society.

Even A-class members can't do this kind of thing, so everyone is curious how you managed to do it?

Now there is gossip that you are actually the 'bastard' of a big man from a higher organization, and that you were sent to the Stars to 'experience life'. ”

"Well, that's a secret, I can't say it yet, but I'm certainly not some hellish bastard."

Mason shrugged.

He was about to ask about Judy's lab, but a figure jumped from a height.

At a height of nearly thirty meters, the guy fell straight down, and landed on the ground with a light two-stage jump a few meters from the ground, landing right next to Judy's car.

It was a strange and capable young man in a black leather jacket and a straight black hairstyle.

He had a silver pistol pinned to his belt, identical to the gun in Mason's pouch, and his sharp eyes made the captain feel like he was being targeted by a beast.

"Mason Cooper?"

This macho man with a lot of personality leaned against Judy's emergency parked car, stretched out his hand to Mason very chicly, and said:

"I'm V, Morgan is waiting for you, come, I'll take you."

Looking at the hand that the guy stretched out in front of him, it was obviously a gesture of overture, but Mason raised an eyebrow, and instead of holding it, he said to the guy in front of him:

"Hello, V, I've heard your story but unfortunately, I don't like shaking hands with male V. Also, Is Johnny Silverhand still in your head?

Excuse me to tell him.

I found his 'brother' in another world, almost the same as him. ”

"Hahaha"

V didn't get angry at Mason for not shaking his hand, on the contrary, this hearty Night City buddy helped him open the car door, and said very familiarly:

"Johnny has gone beyond the black wall, I don't know where he is now, if you really want to see him, I'll get a copy program for you another day.

But listen to my advice.

That guy is a real poisonous tongue psychopath, and he can't help at all all but knows how to be crooked and cynical all day. ”

V pointed to his brain, squeezed his eyes at Mason, and said:

"Being able to get rid of him is the only thing that can make me feel happy since the end of the world, I heard Judy say that you are a very powerful guy, why don't we two practice on the way?

Boxing is fine, too.

I, the 'Night City Boxing Champion', don't use the gorilla arm to bully you, let's just play skill." ”

He said with great interest:

"If I win, you'll be with us in the next life squad, we just don't need someone as good as you."

The abacus beads in these words collapsed, Mason raised his eyebrows, what? Are the young people of Night City confident enough to do so?

But he didn't refuse, but looked V up and down, and said:

"Then what if I win, the knife on your back is good, it's a famous knife 'Jue', just bet on it, okay?"

"Okay!"

V. grinning like a giant beast showing its sharp teeth, he moved his fist and laughed and said:

"A knife for a legend, this work is not a loss, come on, come on, I have chosen all the places."

He dragged Mason all the way into the underground area in front of him, and sure enough, there was a space that had been carved out, and Judy was asked to be the referee, and the two took off their coats and made boxing moves.

At the moment when Judy began to shout, V suddenly noticed a light on Mason's left ring, and then his perception and degree of seeking the enemy immediately lost Mason's figure.

At the same time, the clenched fist slammed into his face, and the kinetic energy carried by this sonic punch hit V with both feet off the ground, raised upwards and was hit in the stomach by Mason, and immediately fell to the ground.

"You're cheating!"

The famous V rubbed his chin and got up, looked at Mason who moved his wrist in front of him with an unconvinced expression, he moved his neck, activated a certain incredible prosthesis, and said:

"In that case, then you're welcome. Judy! Those who do not open the hang should stay away so as not to be injured by mistake. ”

The "friendly boxing match" between the two men is about to unfold.

But in reality it ended in a matter of seconds.

"Night City Boxing Champion" V lost badly, and in the boxing that lasted ten seconds, he was knocked down by the opponent with a "sonic punch" without even touching the corner of Mason's clothes.

Even the San Westin Prosthetic with "Time Stop" turned on couldn't catch Mason's figure at all, and it had been proven in Gotham that pure prosthetic acceleration couldn't keep up with the reaction of the Speed Runner.

As the interim referee, Judy simply made a "technical knockout" decision in order to prevent the two from going up.

Of course, Mason's price to pay for winning this boxing match was quite heavy, and it took a full ten seconds for the speed force to add to his body, leaving his hands and bones on the verge of "shattering".

Fortunately, this is not a fight for life, otherwise after this set of "Seven Wounds Boxing" is finished, he doesn't know if there will be anything wrong with V in front of him, and Mason's hands will definitely not be saved.

"How can this be called cheating?"

Mason applied ointment to his trembling hands, poured the epic healing potion into his mouth, and then said slowly to the male V in front of him:

"You didn't say you couldn't use equipment, I don't have the military prosthetics on your body, but I also have my own means."

"Hey, people who can use the speed force of God are hard to speak."

V is not an uninformed person.

He glanced at the yellow crystal ring on the little finger of Mason's left hand, and a dark blue aura appeared in his eye sockets, probably analyzing the composition of the thing or recording the battle with the "Pseudo God Speeder" just now.

Although there was unhappiness on his face, there was no unconvinced expression after defeat.

Originally, this improvised boxing match was to deepen the contact and understanding between the two sides, and he did not really pursue winning, otherwise he would not have said anything about not using the gorilla's arm.

That military prosthetic body is incredible.

According to Judy's previous explanation, the force of the military-grade gorilla's arm punching in an instant can beat ordinary people into meat sauce, which is a real murderous prosthetic body as sharp as a praying mantis knife.

"Okay, if you win, the knife is yours."

The refreshed legendary mercenary pulled out a bandage and stuck it to the wound on his chin, and with a quick grasp, the black sheathed katana was thrown to Mason.

Willing to gamble and lose, the men of Night City have always been bold.

Mason didn't refuse, reaching out and grabbing the heavy katana in his hand.

Holding the hilt of the knife with his backhand, he pulled it out a third with a thud, and the shiny blade was so well maintained that it reflected Mason's slightly tired eyes like a mirror.

This thing is a typical Japanese knife, with a simple knife grid that looks very atmospheric, and its information label quickly appeared in Mason's eyes:

Straight

Weapon Quality: Legendary Forged Item: Immortal Craft

Weapon Characteristics: Extraordinary Sharpness, Gold Cut, Perfect Focus, Never Wear

Weapon Effects:

One. Fault-inducing:

When used perfectly, each hit has a high chance of having an instant death effect, but if it can't kill with one hit, the destructive power of the attack will be greatly reduced.

Prompt!

To use this weapon perfectly, you need to have melee skill at Lv8 and have the [Sword Mastery] or [Weapon Master] talent.

Two. Bloodthirsty:

The blade of this weapon cuts through the skin even on slight contact, so each hit inflicts [Bleed] on the opponent, but be careful not to cut yourself when using it.

In the case of the opponent's [Bleeding], the blade wielder will be able to sense the specific position of the enemy and increase the probability of the [Instantaneous] effect.

Maker: Unknown

Item Description: Cowards who only dare to shoot from afar don't play with this dangerous art of killing, and leave it to someone who is truly capable of harnessing it.

"The two barrels in your team are going to love it."

Judy walked up to Mason and whispered to him:

"V is a baby, he has this broken knife, and he won't easily take it out to show others, but today he not only brought it with him, but also came to bet with you, which shows that he wanted to give this thing to you.

That's it for these old and rough mercenaries.

They can't say their gratitude in a hypocritical way, so they can only use this stupid method. ”

"You people in Night City are so generous."

Mason grinned, put Satoru in his bag, and planned to find an opportunity to give it to the second barrel later, he put on his coat and said to V, who was playing with a cigarette in front of him:

"I don't know why you came here to deliver the baby, but thank you."

"It's not just a casual gift."

V picked up the cigarette, Mason rubbed his fingers and popped out the magic fire to help him light it, and in the smoke rising, the young legendary mercenary reached out and patted Mason's shoulder, saying:

"Thank you for helping us get rid of the sandstorm.

What that bastard did in Night City was disgusting, but unfortunately I was dead by then, and when I came back to life for the second time, my world was gone, and I didn't have time to get revenge on my own hands.

We insist that you have to be paid for what you do, and although I don't do the middleman, I can't let you do it for nothing. ”

"In that case, why did you give me a knife?"

Mason wondered:

"A legendary mercenary like you should be able to tell at a glance that I don't use a knife, right? Isn't it okay to send a gun? I think the one on your waist is good. ”

V suddenly showed a very unbeaten expression.

He lifted his jacket with his big white teeth, revealing the silver Johnny's gun on his belt, which was exactly the same as the one on Mason's belt.

But apparently, this is the "genuine".

The silver spear also has the marks left by Johnny Silverhand during the battle at Arasaka Tower.

"Don't you have?

The replica made by Judy is almost enough, but it's enough for you, and didn't I just say that? I've always wanted to avenge my hometown with my own hands, isn't this the first thing you have done?

Your girlfriend's lizards have all been driven away by you, and I'll be dead if I give you another gun. ”

He waved his hand and said:

"Okay, everything that needs to be said has been said, you go and see the captain, don't let him wait."

Standing by the window of this place, the famous V crossed his waist and looked at the moving door still in operation in the distance, he spat out the smoke ring, and said to Mason without looking back:

"Also, Captain Mason, when you do this kind of exciting work in the future, if you need a helper, just say it, and I will definitely participate if I am not busy.

I have had enough of the dark days of fighting and killing in my previous life, and this kind of work is too much to my liking right now.

Salvation and hope, what a beautiful and distant word.

It sounds like you're going to want to burn somewhere to ashes. ”
