While Mason and Uncle Sai were "negotiating terms", the blue glow of the Möbius chair was flickering in a corner of Gotham City, which was already in ruins.

The high-tech chair has now been transformed into a hacker-specific chair in the current state of its occupant, on which Barbara lies as if she were asleep.

But a few data cables extending from the Möbius chair to the back of her head looked very weird, coupled with the rhythmic flickering of the tech chair, which was obviously a master hacker "wielding" in the online world.

Well, of course, it's also possible that you're being beaten.

The world of data is always far from reality, and although it is already possible for Bartmoss to compile a completely realistic world of Night City and Divine Opinion in data, it is after all a technology that is several generations ahead of the Gotham world, and the network on Gotham's side is not as cool as cyberspace at all, it is still in a fairly primitive stage.

Everywhere there is a strange frequency of undulating data waves, which is the image of the whole world's data interaction in the eyes of hackers.

In this pristine and unique data space, Barbara, who is provided with huge computing power by the Moubis chair, is fighting against the killing machines.

Of course, it's not that punch and kick addition, but program to program, invasion to invasion.

The comparison between the two sides is who has a deeper understanding of the data program, and the comparison is who has a higher hand speed and faster response in the hacking between you and me, and the malicious program composed of strings of characters is the sharp arrow of both sides, and the firewall that is constantly refreshed and written is each other's strong shield.

Barbara studied with Data Life, received special training from the legendary hacker "Spider" Murphy in cyberspace, and learned a few tricks from Barthmoss, but her brain-based response was still not enough in the face of a killing machine that had been transformed into a mechanical body by the "Alfred Protocol".

If it weren't for the advanced Möbius chair, I'm afraid that within five minutes of contact between the two sides, Barbara would have reaped a pot of pig brain flowers due to the overheating of the prosthetic body in her brain.

But no matter how good the tool is, it depends on who uses it.

Brainiac must have outperformed Barbara with the Moubis Chair, and Batgirl struggled to use the full power of the engineering artifact, causing her to lose ground in the data battle.

"What the hell are you doing?"

What is uncomfortable is that not only is she pressed and beaten by the killing machine at the offensive and defensive level, but when she is in a hurry, the "machine soul" of the Mobius chair is still taunting her wildly.

The arrogant and broken creature kept taunting:

"Why write a few more jumps when you can use a 12-character instruction? And this basic framework for firewall iterations, who taught you? Why use such a backward way of coding?

Was your gym teacher gangster before teaching you hackers?

No wonder it's so bad. ”

"Shut up!"

Barbara, who was under great pressure, felt her brain heat up again, and while she did her best to resist the steady advance of the killing machine, she took the time to fight back:

"You can do it."

"What's wrong with that? Turn it on, come locally! ”

The spirit of the Mobius chair "rolled its eyes", and the next moment took over Barbara's permission to hack into the program.

In just a few seconds, a large chunk of garbage data was thrown towards the killing machine, and the opponent's computing power load was raised by a level with this most primitive blocking attack.

The frequency of the killing machine's attacks has decreased significantly, which makes Barbara, who is focused on iterative firewalls, immediately dumbfounded, and then she said with some unconvinced sourness:

"Strong computing power means that you can do whatever you want."

"You're jealous of the excellent performance of this machine, but it's understandable, you do have talent, but this flesh and blood body is seriously dragging you down."

The old god of the Mobius chair said:

"If I could, I could do a small surgery for you, just replacing 12% of the useless biological tissue in your body and allowing you to leap forward in the data realm.

Of course, if you can make up your mind to throw away the drag of flesh and blood, I can even help you reach the level of Ott Cunningham, Batmoss's rank is really unattainable for you, and it is no longer a talent gap that hard work and study can catch up. ”

"Don't! I refuse. ”

Barbara replied:

"If I continue to reform, Grayson won't want me, he complained last time that my arm has no temperature, and Mason has forbidden me to continue the transformation, he is afraid that I will contract Cyber psychosis and give him a big surprise one day."

"Oh, stupid biological emotion."

Moubis sneered:

"You're clearly as trapped in boredom as Mason Cooper, the first qualifier of the machine, who has a better choice, but who has to be stubborn, because the senseless desire to save has pushed the matter to this point.

According to this calculation, even if the world withstands the invasion of the Stellar Society and wins, the probability of surviving the next shock is less than 5.5%.

You have not yet realized that the devastation this war will have on the world will be far-reaching. ”

Barbara didn't answer this time.

It's not because Batgirl compromised, but because the firewall she wrote was suddenly completely defeated by an unknown data virus from the grassroots structure, so fast that Batgirl couldn't react at all.

"Mother Box Technology! It's not your fault, girl, hold on, this machine will come to save you. ”

The spirit of the Möbius chair sighed very humanely, which was completely different from its indifferent and calm state in the outside world, and perhaps it became alive in the world of data.

It began to actively enter Barbara's digitized consciousness, only to find that the killing machine was infecting consciousness much faster than expected.

Just after this delay, the guy has already begun to urge the prosthetic body in the bat girl's brain to heat up and blast in an attempt to kill her in this way.

"Strange data! Don't get involved! ”

The killing machine transmits its consciousness through data into the Möbius chair, and he warns:

"You are carrying out a provocation against the conqueror, stop it at once! Failure to do so is considered an act of war. ”

"When I was with Brainiac before, I didn't see you conquerors so bold when I casually browsed the core database in the Death Star base."

Lord Machine Soul sneered and said:

"It's just a bunch of killers dominated by false ideas, who have the right to make a big deal about the machine? Get out of the machine's secure network now, or do it at your own risk! ”

The killing machine didn't try again, but his quicker takeover of the prosthetic body inside Barbara meant that he wasn't going to obey the instructions of the Morbius chair mech.

A few seconds later, Barbara Gordon's prosthetic body was completely taken over by the killing machine, and although it was no longer possible to kill the bat girl by detonating the prosthetic body due to the interference of the Mobius chair, the killing machine only remotely activated an attack module, and Barbara, who was lying in the tech chair, popped out the mantis knife in her left arm and stabbed her own neck.

Seeing that Barbara is about to die here.

"Hey! Caught it! ”

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the safety network of the Mobius chair, causing the data consciousness of the killing machine to be startled and quickly withdrawn.

But the hardened steel bones who followed the Alfred agreement will not give him this chance!

As the weakest link in the first echelon of the Justice League, the cyborg has long been holding back his strength to prove himself.

As the Bat Girl and the Mobius Chair activated the hidden network at the same time, a data-level tremor swept the killing machine's data consciousness into an unfamiliar area like a storm of energy with teeth and claws.

When the killing machine regains consciousness manipulation privileges, he is greeted by a cloudless sky and a night city forged in the distance.

In this higher world of data, his mind gained substance, and turned into the mechanical body of a killing machine fused with the mother box, its body filled with various high-tech modules like steel bones, covered in N metal armor, and on its body there were cool and indifferent energy lines and a red bat lamp lit up on its chest.

His head is a fully covered mechanical structure, molded to resemble a rather mechanical bat mask.

The moment he entered this simulated world, the fear that had once been cut off by the Alfred Protocol seemed to return to his mind once again.

He realized that something was wrong.

But Barbara, who was suspended in the air in front of her, crossed her arms, stared at her with a sneer, and said loudly:

"Do you really think I didn't find out that you've been hacking my firewall with the Mother Box program? Stupid! The mistake just now was to allow you to occupy my prosthetic body so that I could pull you in here.

This is our territory!

Welcome to Night City!

Bastard Batman, my brother said, let me laugh at you for him while I pull out your electronic brain! ”

"Barbara and I are really no match for you."

The steel skeleton next to him spread out his arms and said to the killing machine with an innocent expression:

"But we're only the apprentices of Lord Batmoss, and now we welcome the God of Data here to repair your dark and shameful soul with our own hands."

"Data Escape Procedure. Initiate! ”

Seeing that the big guy was about to appear, the killing machine immediately decisively activated the black technology of the mother box, completely abandoning this group of data consciousness to survive.

This kind of data stripping will cause his ontology database to suffer so much that it will even have to be overhauled, but it is much better than being trapped in that data hell forever.

But he restarted in Gotham's hideout, and as soon as the machine's eyes lit up, a blood-colored sword light slashed at him.

The expressionless Two-Barrel had just been picked up from London, and he would hold the knife in one hand, and at the same time as the palm cannon of the killing machine was raised, the god-killing blade pierced his energy module with precision and cruelty and pulled it downward.

At the same time, the large-caliber vibranium warhead kinetic hand cannon was raised, and three shots were fired in succession almost against the head of the killing machine.

A few seconds later, Two Barrels walked out of the Wayne Family Cemetery on the outskirts of Gotham City with something in his hand, and he activated the communication to Barbara:

"The address you gave is very accurate, and the mother box has been recycled! The killing machine is hereby beheaded. ”

"Batman Hunt Competition, Barbara and Two Buckets win a point!"

The Bat Maiden cheered on the other side:

"Now I can be out of the school, Jason, how does it feel to kill Batman with my own hands?"

"Hmm"

The second bucket thought about it very seriously, and then looked at the mother box that was still stained with coolant in his hand, he pursed his lips and said:

"Very slight recoil, not worth mentioning."

——

"Well, yes, the Dark Knights' doglegs are all cleaned up, and the current score of the Batman Hunt Contest is 3 points for Mason Cooper, 1 point for Barbara & Two Barrels, 1 point for Damian Wayne, 1 point for Clark Kent, and 1 point for Diana Prince.

Looks like I've already sealed the win and killed the game.

Tsk, what a terrible hunt game, not challenging at all. ”

Mason looked at the message from the second barrel on his watch and nodded in satisfaction.

Beside him, Hal 1 and 2 are trying to reactivate the freshly extinguished Lamp Ring, while the corpse of the Daybreaker Lamp with a bullet through the head is lying aside, transformed into Mason and carrying a mud gourd, Kevin, digging with a shovel and preparing to bury the corpse.

"Isn't there another one?"

Hal Two's green light armor flickered as if it had been miscontacted, and he said to Mason:

"The most dangerous one, what is the Laughing Bat, and you don't plan to hunt him?"

"That madman wouldn't like me to interfere with his game with Bruce Wayne."

Mason shook his head and said:

And it wasn't just a normal battle between Batman and a crazy Batman, it was Bruce's last battle as an orphan, the first battle after being reunited with the Wayne family.

It means a lot to him.

I don't think anyone from the Wayne family should bother with this and Meimei's scene. That family is crazy, two, and they have enough reason to kill the unlucky ones who saw their dark history. ”

"Look over there!"

Hal One, who was tending to the injured lanternmen, pointed to the center of Gotham, and in the rumbling ground shaking, a golden tower like the Leaning Tower of Pisa eerily "grew" out of the ruins.

I couldn't see the whole picture of the thing from a distance, because it had been surrounded by special energy, blocking all vision, but when I saw this thing, Mason Huo Ran, who was about to light a cigarette, got up.

He stared at the thing for a few seconds, then rubbed his brow and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, it's supposed to be a cosmic tuning fork? Crazy Laugh brought this thing over, is he going to play so big this time? Strange? Strange. Are you there?

Feed! ”

Mason was about to call out to the big guy, but he couldn't get through to Black Strange anyway, and at the same time, a burst of exclamations erupted from Mason's communicator.

"Mason! I'm being banished from this plane! ”

Sister Ka's serious voice rang in Mason's ears, and she warned:

"I have observed that all life that does not belong to this plane is being forcibly driven away, and a special force is affecting the parallel world system, and the source is with you!

What's going on over there? ”

"It's a cosmic tuning fork! The Laughing Bat was using this thing to seal our superior reinforcements, and I knew this guy couldn't be underestimated. ”

Mason calmly responded:

"But the cosmic tuning fork shouldn't hurt you in this mild mode, don't try to resist it, Sister Ka, and let it push you back."

"What about you?"

Kassandra asked:

"Without reinforcements from other worlds, can you stand up to it alone?"

"It's all like this, if you can't stand it, you have to bear it, you are waiting for our news in your respective worlds, if I haven't contacted you for more than thirty minutes."

Mason hesitated, and then he whispered:

"Then please cross me and the corpses of my world, carry up my banner, and continue to march forward in the Dark Ages! All my drawings and knowledge remain at Osborne Tower.

In addition, in the dark compartment under the aurora installation of the Grand Temple in New York, I placed the drawings and models of the cosmic treadmill.

If I die, Sister Ka, everything will be left to you. ”

"Don't say stupid things."

Kassandra sighed, her voice growing lighter and fading away, and she said:

"Mother Earth will bless you, Mason, and we'll see you again! Thirty minutes later, you little bastard, don't die, do you hear? ”

The cacophony died down in the next moment, and Mason's communicator fell silent.

Reinforcements from other worlds were expelled from the plane by the Cosmic Tuning Fork, and Mason took a deep breath and summoned the Enchanted Fenrir to go to the Cosmic Tuning Fork.

But behind him, Hal II said in a stunned tone:

"Why wasn't I expelled? I'm not of your world."

"Your world is ruined."

Mason didn't look back and said:

"This is where you live! Howl, now it's your turn to fight for your new homeland, come with me! That thing has to be shut down, or we're all going to be buried here. ”

"Look at the sky, Mason!"

Hal One exclaimed as he pointed to the sky, and Mason then saw the dark, massive Dragon of Doom flapping its wings and slowly falling from the sky, landing on top of the cosmic tuning fork.

In addition to the evil beast of Bruce Wayne who fell into the dark incarnation of this 0 universe, there are also Diana, a wonder woman like Medusa, Krypton-Bula Superman, a kryptonian who is the same as an abomination, Green Lantern who incarnates a fear stitch, Arthur, an Aquaman who turns into a big caterpillar with a human head, and Flash who is still running with only skeletons left.

"It's another evil justice league, the cosmic tuning fork will never stop until we kill them, this is the challenge that Laughter has set for itself and us."

Mason was not in a hurry.

He exhaled a puff of smoke rings, threw a bunch of things out of his bag, and as he moved his fingers to summon the rest of his body, he said:

"Okay, okay, then Master Ben Mason will brush up on the Zhenglian copy again, anyway, I've already cleared the level twice, what's the difficulty? K-Squad!

The people who have no life at hand immediately gather in my direction!

The final assault begins! ”
