Professor Stein, who has the wisdom of an elder, directly singles out that there must be some kind of deal between Mason and the Justice League, and this unacceptable statement silences the other three young people.

"I won't convince you with words, because you won't believe that in your hearts I am already the image of a Demon King of the World, and I have no intention of explaining this.

But you might have to hear about it. ”

Mason took out a small tape recorder from his hand, pressed the play button, and after a second of reading, a hoarse voice that made the three young men almost jump up sounded from the tape recorder:

"It's possible for any of us to be bewitched by the Starliner's eyeliner, and I thought about it and felt that this was a hidden danger, and I would do my best to leave some people in the watchtower, and if I could, 'take them all' away.

But be warned, those who are not suspects to be suspected, but our young members all have their own character flaws and can indeed be easily seduced.

We need to be precautionary.

Team K also needs some good hands to carry out the undercover mission, so think of it as the aid of your hometown to you pioneers, and I'm sure you can convince them to join you. ”

The recording isn't long, and there's not much detail to be figured out.

Only this voice is terrifying.

Although the members of the Young Titans rarely act with the Justice League, everyone is familiar with the unique and almost inimitable voice of the old man.

As a result, Jaime and Jakes fell into a long silence after Mason finished broadcasting the recording, and Professor Stein sighed, he had already guessed the outcome.

Only Supergirl doesn't admit it.

She shouted:

"Not to mention that you may have forged this recording! Even if it's true, then Batman's reminder should be taken for granted, saying that we might be bewitched by the puppies of the Stellar Society, and I admit it's a possibility.

After all, there is a dog cub standing in front of us right now, and he is really bewitching us! ”

"Shut up! You're a bitch! Don't you say that about my little sweetheart! ”

When Harley heard that her beloved Mr. K was humiliated, she immediately became angry, grabbed the baseball bat and was about to step forward to teach this girl a lesson, and the two Amazon vicious dogs under her feet began to grin and prepare to pounce.

But Mason grabbed her wrist.

It was like a spell that made Harry's anger disappear in an instant.

"The super intelligence of the Kryptonians is finally working, and Clark will definitely feel very relieved to see this."

Mason clapped his hands as if he were clapping.

He knew that the Kryptonians were notoriously tough donkeys, and a simple battle of words was meaningless, so he stepped forward and took out the key to open the cage specially made by the old Green Goblin, freeing the people inside.

These four guys were beaten up by the Amazons and learned to behave, and they didn't plan to show their bravery when the two Supermen were eyeing each other.

Mason pointed to the top of his head to the youngest Jaime Reyes and said:

"You go to the lab on the 43rd floor to find Dr. Otto, he's fine-tuning your Blue Beetle combat system, and you'll have to work with him to reset it in two days."

"Huh?"

Only sixteen-year-old Jaime touched his head in surprise, the Texas cowboy boy from the people's style was not very afraid of Mason's ghost, he just said very puzzled:

"Do you really want to give it back to me? Aren't you afraid that I'll take back the beetle and fight against you again? ”

"First of all, it's bound to your DNA."

Mason said to the suffocating Texas cowboy boy:

"Unless I kill you here, no one can use that strange beetle. Secondly, I think there's a little bit of a problem with your perception of your own strength, Reyes.

Who do you think you can beat here even if you give you a beetle? ”

"Well, you have a point."

The Texas teenager pouted.

Although Mason's words hurt his pride, he had to admit that he was right.

The last time he was on the home of the watchtower, he was "stared to death" by a bat girl in a wheelchair with her eyes, which made him already see Team K as a hidden dragon and crouching tiger.

"And then the two of you, Jakes and Professor Stein."

Mason looked back at the high school football player who was staring at him with an unkind gaze and the white-haired professor who was soothing Blackie, and said:

"You go to the alchemy lab on the 42nd floor and wait for me, I'll go over when I'm done, our mission tonight is to use your ability to manipulate the arrangement of atoms to make us a little kryptonite as a raw material for some kind of instrument."

"Did you want that thing to hurt Kara?"

Xiao Hei said defiantly:

"Don't think! And we can't make kryptonite. We tried, and it was hard. ”

"You just don't understand the mysteries of Kryptonite, and I have a full set of information on Kryptonite, and of course, this information is like a book from heaven to you as a rugby player.

Therefore, this work is mainly handled by Professor Stein. ”

Mason looked at the white-haired professor and said:

"Please understand, this is also part of the training of Firestorm's ability control, and as for the use of kryptonite after it is crafted, I promise that I will not use it against Kara.

The premise is that Kara has to be 'well-behaved'. ”

"You have kryptonite research materials in your hand?"

The old professor, who had been doing high-energy physics research all his life, suddenly became interested, he pushed his glasses, and said:

"If you really travel between worlds, you must have seen a lot of great scientific theories, right? I wonder if research on dark matter has really reached a dead end? ”

"Well, I don't know much about this field."

Mason waved his hand and said:

"But Dr. Otto has been immersed in it for most of his life, and he even made a little tritium sun, cold fusion mode, so you might be able to talk to him."

"It's amazing!"

Professor Stein immediately patted Xiao Hei on the shoulder and said:

"Let's go up and meet the genius researcher."

"But I'm still going to exercise, and look at my muscles are deflated."

Jakes expressed displeasure.

But the old professor completely ignored his complaints, what muscles do good young people train? Would you like to inject a little knowledge into your empty head?

I can feel a hollow sound when I knock on your head.

It's sad.

The three of them disappeared into the elevator as they spoke, leaving Kara alone, still staring at Mason with her arms folded, stubbornly thinking that this was a shitch of the Stars Society, and pulled her friend to his side in a clever way.

Shh

At first glance, he looks like a scheming guy, and Batboy!

Damn the batboys!

She knew that Batboy must have some kind of mental illness of "persecution of Kryptonians".

I heard that my cousin was almost gagged by Batboy when he first changed careers to do heroic careers, and now he not only persecuted his cousin, but also extended his black hand to himself.

This bastard young man in front of him must be Batcub's otherworldly doglegs!

"Zod, Carla is over to you."

Mason had no intention of saying anything more to the disgruntled Kryptonian girl, he patted Zod's shoulder, which was gradually getting stronger, and said to the expressionless Black Superman:

"Tell her your story, and learn some Kryptonian tactics from her, she was taught by Clark Kent, and you can learn a lot."

"All I care about is the task right now."

Zod glanced at Kara, then at Mason and said:

"Am I going to participate in this mission?"

"Hmm."

Mason nodded and said:

"It's not just you, but Bizarro is going to be there too, but we'll have to disguise him before he gets discovered by his 'colleagues' in the past. As key members of K-Team 2.0, the three of you must hurry up and hone your tactics.

I don't know how long it will take you to form a match, but I can only give you one night, and we'll leave tomorrow morning! While we don't yet know what kind of risks exist in our target world, it's certain that it's anything but peaceful.

Also, come to my studio at eight o'clock tonight, and I'm going to make custom suits for the three of you.

Kryptonians need to make up for their weaknesses in magical energy immediately, and as for the effects of Kryptonite and the Red Sun on you, this will need to be studied slowly. ”

A few minutes later, in the ascending elevator, Hallie grabbed Mason's hand and said softly:

"Why don't you take me, let's go together, I always feel empty in my heart if you don't take me, and Barbara gave me a task! She wants me to take care of you, lest you be taken away by the little vixen outside. ”

"I didn't say I wouldn't let you go."

Mason sighed and said:

"Barbara is also going, the second bucket is still assisting the old lady to clean up the Assassin Alliance and has no time to get out, I have to find a guard for Barbara, but you have to promise me to be obedient."

"I've always been obedient."

Hallie blinked at Mason and whispered:

"I listen to you the most, do you want to try? I'll do whatever you say."

"Not right now."

Mason firmly pushed away Hallie's angry mouth and said:

"I still have to make equipment for your mission, I only have two days, so I'm very busy."

"It's not a conflict."

Hallie complained:

"You make it with your hands and what I'm going to do without interfering with ah, I can do it myself. Ah, well, I'm not going to say it, don't hit the head! What to do if you get stupid? ”

"Mason, Miss Anna has arrived, and it's in your study."

Barbara "saved" Mason again at this moment, she deserves to be a good sister, and she will always appear when the stinky brother needs it most, and seeing that Mr. K is going to do the right thing, the sensible Hallie shrugged her shoulders and kissed Mason on the face before going to train her dog.

Mason returned to his study, the captain of the Ex team, Miss Anna, was already waiting here, he took the initiative to pour a cup of tea, pulled out a chair and sat down, facing the guest in front of him, Mason said straight to the point:

"Ma'am, do you know who I am?"

"The swordsman informed me about you."

Anna nodded, and after hesitating for a few seconds, reached out and removed her mask, revealing a face that was a mixture of youth and vicissitudes.

However, compared to her facial features, her hair is obviously more noticeable.

The first half is white, but the second half is maroon, which is not the result of a girl's love of beauty, perhaps because of some special experience.

The woman's eyes in front of her were full of time and experience, especially the complicated look when she looked at Mason, which made Mason confirm that she must know more of the inside story.

"Reacquaint, my name is Anna Marie, and when I was at Xavier Academy, everyone called me 'Rogue', and some people called me 'Little Naughty'."

She said her full name and nickname, and held out her hand to Mason's eyes, but Mason looked at the hand in front of her with some hesitation, and said:

"What level of competence are you in?"

"Looks like you know what I'm capable of?"

This question made Anna smile, and she shook her head and said:

"Don't worry, I've been able to control the energy capture for a long time, and it won't affect you in any way, not to mention that I'm wearing gloves."

Mason reached out and shook her hand, and at this moment, the disguised hat on his head reminded:

"She's trying to read your memory, but don't worry, Occlumency is enough to withstand this level of reading."

"I just said you were very friendly, but you just met and wanted to get what you wanted from my head, you mutants have a really twisted definition of 'friendly'."

Mason shook off the Rakshasa woman's hand, who shrugged her shoulders, without apologizing or explaining, she took a few things from her bag and said:

"This is a necessary caution, and it seems that you are also careful to protect your mind in advance.

Well, Mason, don't be so childish, for a race that has endured so much suffering and malice, self-preservation is a basic instinct we must learn.

I wanted to take this opportunity to give you a lesson, but it seems that you are much more mature than you look.

I guess you must be wondering who you were sent to the Gotham orphanage."

"I've looked up the X-Men in the Great Library of Fort Stars, Anna, I already know the answer to this question."

Mason sat down again and said solemnly:

"The woman who sent me over, and the ability to travel through time and space, these two characteristics are enough for me to lock her identity, is it a 'phantom cat'?"

"Yes, it's a phantom cat."

Anna brushed her hair and explained with a sense of sadness:

"On the night of the nuclear war, Xavier College was attacked, most of the X-Men died, and those of us were either not there or narrowly escaped.

According to the professor's last-minute instructions, we need to send the children who are not able to protect themselves into a safe area.

But the whole world was no longer safe.

In desperation, Katie ventures across the world, you are one of the children who were sent away, and later executed the 'Recycling Project' after we reunite, and most of the children are taken back to Utopia.

But there's a problem with your recycling.

The Flash of your world suddenly appeared for some unknown reason and stopped the people we sent, and by mistake we completely lost your tracks.

However, fate has sent you back to us.

Albeit in a way that no one wants to see. ”

"Sounds reasonable."

Mason rubbed his chin as if he were listening to someone else's story, and after Anna had finished telling the story of the antecedents, he took a sip from his teacup and asked:

"What about Katie? Maybe I should call her sister or aunt? ”

"She may be dead."

Miss Anna bowed her head and said in a dumb voice:

"She didn't make it back to Utopia, I haven't heard from her for years, and I wanted to go back to our hometown to look for her.

But that place has closed its doors to us.

The swordsman said you're going to 'smuggle' back, so I want to ask you to bring Katie back if you can find her there.

Even if it is a bone, she would like to be with her family, whether it is life or death.

Also, I have a very personal request. ”

She looked up, looked at Mason, and said:

"The truth of the massacre at Xavier College on the night of the nuclear war remains a mystery to this day, and we have not been able to find any clues when we were forced to leave our homeland.

But the loss of the X-Men overnight is something that we who are alive can't let go.

We want the truth!

We want to know who presided over the massacre against us.

Or to put it more simply, we want revenge!

But revenge also has to have a goal, and while all the evidence now suggests that the stars had nothing to do with the catastrophe, I honestly don't believe that. ”

"If there's a chance to go to Xavier's House Ruins, then I'll help."

Mason didn't refuse this request, he was going to find out his background, and there was no pressure to take on a "side mission" by the way.

Then Anna handed over a few things in her hand, and she said:

"Here's a map and guide to the main base of Project X, I know you're definitely going there, but be safe."

"That's what I want to ask."

Mason took the map, and he frowned and said:

"What's going on with this Weapon X program? Listen to what you mean, it doesn't seem like an evil project? If I was the test subject, then why did you create me?

Most importantly, with what I know about the X gene, once I show signs of 'awakening', my abilities will be displayed in a short period of time.

But why can't I feel it at all? ”

He stretched out his hand and moved his five fingers, and said to Anna:

"I've checked my genes many times, tried them in various ways, but I don't have the X gene in my gene fragment at all, which is very abnormal."

"They're locked, Mason."

Miss Anna put down her teacup and explained:

"I went back to Utopia for this question, and found a friend who knew something about these things, and the artificial intelligence left behind by Hank told me that your X gene is specially encoded and hidden in human genes.

It's a camouflage protection and an attempt.

At the moment, it seems too successful.

To get your X gene into a dominant state, you have to 'activate' it with a special device, and to put it more simply, you have to complete the third phase of the experiment that you didn't complete at the beginning. ”

Speaking of this, Anna glanced at Mason with a strange look in her eyes and said:

"The AI also told me that it is theoretically impossible for a special individual like you to discover mutant abilities on their own, and that your X gene is very firmly locked, but you are the only exception of all subjects.

You have entered a state of 'semi-awakening' without any external stimuli that fit into the test process, and this aberration, which is not good or bad at the moment.

But the advice given to you by the AI who worked on Project X is to hurry up and complete the third stage to unlock your X gene, and it won't do you any good to wait too long in the semi-awakening. ”

Anna paused and continued:

"The Weapon X project, the reason it was rebooted, the people involved in it, etc., are all things that have been in the past for a long time.

In the pre-nuclear war period, I was just an ordinary member of the X-Men, and I didn't have enough access to that deep secret.

But I've heard some gossip in utopia.

Mason, you were not created as a 'weapon of doom', you were made to fight disaster and save the world, in other words, you were born to be a 'hero' with hope. ”

The captain of Team Ex looked at Mason, whose face was full of astonishment, she shrugged her shoulders, took a sip of tea, and said:

This may also explain what you have done in the past period.

As much as I'm resistant to human experimentation, if they could make a hundred people like you, maybe our world wouldn't have suffered that fate.

Sadly, I've only found one at the moment.

But sometimes in the face of bad things where everyone else is silent, a real hero is enough, right? ”
