"I really believe in your ghost!"

At the top of Osborne's Tower, Edward Elric, who had been tricked by Mason in the name of "tasting alchemy", stomped his foot angrily and yelled at Mason:

"It's a wasteland! There's a fart fun thing here? ”

"Don't say that, brother, you see the Amazon people fighting over there, wow, these big sisters are so powerful."

Alphons, the armor ghost beside him, didn't see it that way, he was a rare wasteland so "vibrant", especially since he was very curious about the multi-ethnic situation here.

Although the two brothers have basically never been on a mission since joining the Star Society, they have earned them a rather transcendent status in the Star Fortress by relying on their alchemy skills, often traveling in different worlds and collecting materials, occasionally providing a little help to the rebels in various worlds, and giving the stars a little damage.

However, because of his extensive knowledge, Alphonse could see at a glance that there were at least four different populations from the four worlds living in this wasteland city.

This is a common occurrence in the garden worlds where the Stars will specialize in housing plane-time refugees, but it is clear that this wasteland in front of you cannot be used to settle refugees.

So the only explanation is that people from different worlds here are the work of Team K.

"I kind of know what you've done in your adventures and explorations."

Alphonse turned his head to look at Mason, and the armor brother whispered:

"It's really rare that you're really doing this kind of thing to save."

"It's just a small contribution, and it's not worth your surprise."

Mason waved his hand, he didn't just trick the two brothers here, he pointed to the ruined city of New York in the distance, and said to the two brothers, one tall and one short, beside him:

"This world is full of creatures infected by the source zombie virus, it is a very rare world that has been polluted but not destroyed, and I have been thinking about making a vaccine that can protect against the source zombie virus.

It was the most powerful intrusion weapon in the hands of the Stellar Society, and once it was done, it would mean that the hounds' invasion of the innocent world would be much more difficult.

But to do that, I need help. ”

"Impossible!"

Although Edward was angry, he still replied very seriously when it came to his professional field:

"Our two brothers have tried this kind of thing before, and the weakened version of the zombie virus can be resisted, but the source virus is too polluting and almost incomprehensible.

What's more, we can't get a pure virus sample at hand, but the sample taken from the infected organisms can't make an antidote. ”

"I have!"

Mason patted Edward on the shoulder and said:

"My world has thwarted the hounds' contamination tactics before, and there are several warheads of pure viruses stored there, which I can bring to you.

In addition, ordinary alchemy potions really can't stop the source virus, but we have this in our hands now! ”

He pulled out the box containing the Philosopher's Stone, and said to Edward:

"This little baby who can transform all alchemy items will definitely help, and I can also provide a vaccine recipe against the weakened virus."

He looked at the two brothers, his eyes full of invitations and requests.

But the two brothers did not reply immediately, but went aside and discussed for a few minutes, and then Edward, with his arms crossed, came up and said to Mason angrily:

"Hey, you've talked to this point, you're ready to do this, obviously you have sensed the temper of our two brothers, and it's a little too much to say if you don't help anymore.

Okay, we'll stay here.

But we need professional biological laboratories and alchemy laboratories, as well as assistants. ”

"It's all ready for you."

Mason snapped his fingers, handed the two keys to Edward, and said:

"My alchemist is a superpower who can manipulate plants, and she can catalyze the growth of all plant-based ingredients, which is the perfect help for an alchemist.

She will be responsible for assisting you.

But I kindly remind you that this girl has a weird personality, don't have bad intentions, otherwise you will bear the consequences. ”

"I have a girlfriend! She's still waiting for me to come home and give birth to me in Garden World. ”

Edward rolled his eyes and said:

"And if you look at Al, even if he wants to do something, does he have that ability? However, if your assistant can really manipulate plants, then we can solve many of the materials of the weak magic stone by ourselves.

That's a good thing."

"Boom"

A low vibration suddenly came from the ground, all the way down the tall building to the top floor, and the two brothers almost fell.

Edward grabbed a metal ingot and was about to launch a refining array to defend against the enemy, but was stopped by Mason, who looked at the time of his watch and said to them:

"It's not an attack, don't be afraid, I'll go down and take a look, you guys go to the lab first, and meet with Ivy to have a good relationship."

Oh, by the way, those Amazons also have the alchemical knowledge of the Olympian gods, you can try to get in touch with them, they are a warlike group of warriors, and they are now hungry for good weapons and armor to help them carve out their new kingdom in the wasteland.

You're going to be the guests of those muscles. ”

With that, Mason waved away and walked into the elevator that went straight down to the underground area of Osborne Tower.

The two Elric brothers did not leave the lounge on the top floor, they stood by the window and looked out at the apocalyptic wasteland, and after a few seconds, the weaker brother Alphonse took the initiative to speak:

"Brother, Mason wants to woo us. He is no longer satisfied with the cooperation between the two sides, and he hopes that we can establish a closer alliance with him. ”

"Who can't see that?"

Edward was not in a very good mood.

But it has little to do with Mason tricking him in.

Purely because the short alchemist saw the apocalyptic landscape in front of him, he didn't like it, and even resisted it, which reminded him of his homeland, which had died in the Star Calamity.

But his brain is really good.

His early years had also given him a far more mature mind than his peers, and he looked back and forth at the crowds of people who clearly belonged to different worlds in the square of Osborne, and after a moment, he sighed and said:

"He's trying to win over more than just the two of us, Al. We're just his breakthrough, and he's going to use the prestige of the two of us among the Ronin of the Stars to absorb those wandering forces.

Brother

Mason was planning to do something really big, and that made me feel dangerous.

Perhaps, we should try to open up some relationship with him, this is a dangerous maelstrom that will pull us into it and make it impossible for us to get out. ”

"Nope! Brother. ”

His brother, who had always been obedient to Edward's words, was uncharacteristically stubborn this time, and he reached out and pushed his medieval armor, and whispered:

"I've had enough of these days of no place to live and no direction, no matter what you think, I'm going to help them!"

"You're crazy!"

Edward scolded:

"You don't even know what kind of strength Mason has now and which allies he has, in my opinion, it's like a mantis arm as a car, no different from sending him to death."

"But have you ever seen a trailblazer like this?"

The younger brother pointed to the lively square outside the window, and said:

"The people we meet are either greedy for everything or submissive to the power of the Stars, and none of them can achieve great things!

Mason is an exception.

Not only did he dare to resist, but he had succeeded so many times, and his art of struggle was worth learning from all. Brother! We chose to be homeless, not that we really turned a blind eye to all this.

We just don't have a choice.

But now, we have.

I don't want to go all the way to the dark with the stars, the Warlock has sent people to contact us several times, and the tone is getting tougher and tougher each time, and we can't stay out of it if we continue like this.

They're going to make us hounds.

But I don't want to!

Even if you don't help Mason, hiding in Team K's territory can at least avoid the call-up and keep your hands clean.

We can take Wen Li and her mother-in-law, as well as the master and the colonel in which world I don't know where now. They have been hiding and resisting.

They would definitely be willing to work with someone like Mason. ”

"No!"

Edward stopped his brother's radical speech, and he let out a sigh of relief, saying:

"It's not safe here, and if Mason wants us to be his allies, he's going to have to let me see for myself what he's capable of. Don't worry, Al, I'm not scared.

I'm not afraid of those hounds!

But that doesn't mean we have to give ourselves and our friends away.

Do you understand?

We don't necessarily have to be on the side of the winners, but at least we have to stand with the people who have the potential to win, and don't contact the colonels and them, and don't give them any hope that they might disappear at any time.

Let's wait and see.

Mason knows what we're thinking, and he'll pick the right time to show us his plans and powers.

To be an alchemist is to be patient. Walk! Look at the alchemy room he prepared for us, if it sucks, I won't be satisfied! ”

——

"What's the fuss! What are they all doing? Don't you think you're causing a big mess enough? ”

In a cage under Osborne Tower, near the city's water purification plant, Hallie, with two large dogs, sat on a chair and used a steel brush to smooth her pet's hair, while yelling at several people in the cage in front of her:

"If it weren't for Mr. K's tough connections, you little bastards would have been eaten alive by the old Green Goblin. I don't know how many dishes I have, so I'm crazy about you!

Dare to fight with the Amazons!

You also fought against hundreds of Amazons at once, do you have the strength?

No!

Do you understand! I advise you to be pragmatic and understand your concept of 'escape' before trying to escape next time, okay?

It's just such a headless fly, how can you run out of the palm of my cute hand? Hey, I'm so annoyed that I'm watching you here.

Originally, I asked Ivy to do my nails with me today. ”

In the face of the ridicule and poisonous tongue of this crazy beauty who is already in the shape of Mr. K in every sense, the few unruly reservists who are locked up in the cage in front of him are really angry.

Especially the supergirl Carla Eyre.

Even though there was a red solar lamp above the cage, she still slammed the wall of the cage with her fist, causing waves of vibrations.

Use this to express your displeasure.

But this Kryptonian girl is really in a bad state, not only her hair is messy, but even the Kryptonian suit on her body is torn.

But no one abused her either.

This is purely the end of a fight between the last stage of the previous failed escape operation and hundreds of Amazonian female warriors who are like wolves and tigers, and have evil fire in their hearts.

Although the Kryptonians are strong, they will definitely not be able to please in the face of hundreds of weakened versions of Wonder Woman.

Compared to her, the black boy Jackson and Professor Stein in the cage next to her are much more honest, and their Firestorm Matrix was temporarily "sealed" by the old Green Goblin with technological means.

The inability to turn into a fire storm makes the two of them just ordinary people, so naturally there is no way to blow up their hair in this situation.

Jaime Reyes, in the most marginal cage, is the most well-behaved.

This kid's Blue Beetle combat system is still being studied and modified in Dr. Octopus's lab, and he's a bear kid without the alien armament.

In the face of Harley's scolding, he was annoyed, so he simply hugged the pillow to cover his ears.

"Huh"

The sound of the elevator door opening made Hallie immediately prick up her ears, as if it was some kind of "special ability", and she immediately jumped up and hid in the doorway, smirking evilly and waiting for Mr. K to walk in, and then pounced on him.

Hold Mason like a koala and sway, and give fragrant kisses without avoiding people, and passionately want to burn Mason's "stubborn stone" completely.

"Well, dear."

A simple voice sounded from Mason's side, and Bizarro, the uncountable superman with a small brain, winked his eyes and grinned, clapping and shouting:

"Bad enemy Mason and ugly Harley kissing."

"You're the ugly bastard, your whole family is the ugly bastard!"

Harley poked her head out of Mason's shoulder in displeasure and shouted at Bizzaro with a fist:

"I know you're a fool praising me, but what you say sounds like a provocation, shut up!"

"What are you mad at him?"

Mason helplessly wiped the lipstick from the corner of his mouth, and patted Harley's waist again to let her down,

This scene fell into the eyes of Farr Zod, who was beside him, causing Black Superman to smile slightly in the dark, and then returned to that indifferent state.

He didn't hate the crazy personality of people like Harley, he thought that although Harley was crazy, he was much more sincere than most humans.

This may also be the reason why Mason accepted Hallie.

"I heard that a few of you tried to escape, but were beaten up by the old Green Goblin?"

Holding Harley's hand, Mason walked to the cage and sat on a chair, and the left and right "Dharma Protector" Superman standing behind him was quite majestic, of course, it would be more majestic if Bizarro could stop the grimace that kept squeezing and winking at Harley.

This Alien Superman and Halle are a pair of wonderful "opponents", and they can occasionally rarely connect to the same frequency of magical brainwaves, probably a wonderful tacit understanding between a fool and a madman?

Mason said to the four men in front of him:

"We'll have to talk, my reservists, tell your grievances and doubts, and I can help you answer them.

But now that we're done, you'll be ready to start your first quest.

I've already chosen my destination.

However, this trip is not expected to be too smooth, and I hope you will be prepared as well. ”

"Mason Cooper!"

The most impulsive Kryptonian girl grabbed the railing, she was very weak under the light of the red solar lamp, but this would make her lose the battle, and still scolded loudly:

"You've tricked us into evil ways! Also trying to make us work for you! Don't you think! ”

"Two mistakes."

Mason held up two fingers and said:

"First, you weren't tricked by me, you were sent here for 'training'. Second, it's not that I'm asking you to serve me, I don't have that idea at all.

You should be part of the action, if you really want to do something for our homeland. ”

The answer made Kara's expression freeze.

Although she inherits the tradition of the El family, she is also super intelligent, and Mason's words contain a lot of scary truths that make it necessary to take some time to sort out the cause and effect.

Mason turned to look at the gray-haired but unusually silent old man in the central cage.

He said:

"It's okay that impulsive young people can't understand the problem, but Professor Stein, you are a true academic champion, a real social person, how can you mess around with them?

I guess you're the first to know about your situation, right? ”

"I persuaded you."

Professor Stein pushed the frame and sighed:

"But young people are stubborn and don't listen to me, and I can't help it. Well, Mason, don't hide it, tell me all about your deal with the Justice League, so that the young people will die completely.

After all, we don't have much time, right? ”
