48. If there is no accident, then it is estimated that there will be an accident
"So, that's what you called me early in the morning to tell me?"
Two hours after the invasion of Sena Gang in another world, on an island in the Atlantic, in the warehouse of a fallen starship that had been taken over by the Atlanteans of this world, Mason, who was wearing alchemist's gloves to sort the raw ore of N metal, said without looking back at the projection of the Moon Knight played by the telegraph suspended behind him:
"Isn't it normal that my identity has not been exposed at the top of the council? I theoretically serve Lao A, although those bigwigs have their own forces and fundamentals, and they are secretly trying to weaken the power of their collaborators.
But this kind of sabotage cannot be brought to the table.
If Lao A chooses to disclose my existence at this time, then he is asking for trouble, and a scheming guy like him would not do such a thing.
What's more, he and I had a very personal pact with him about the fourth shock, and he thought he might be able to convince me or woo me before the showdown between us was clear.
That's the value.
I have value so he is not willing to give up.
At least, not willing for the time being. ”
"I'm just passing you a message, and I don't really care about your attitude and opinion on this matter."
The Moon Knight in the projection spreads his hands and responds:
"You said that cooperation requires sincerity, and we expressed sincerity, and one of the leaders of the forces of the gods even went out of his way to conduct a 'personal investigation', and we didn't sell you, did we?
But I'm curious, Mason, don't you have any psychological pressure to make such a big mess?
In the 17 hours since the Eye of Time appeared in the sky, several Garden Worlds had been invaded by the forces of the Alternate Plane.
According to the information we have received, some worlds have been taken over by doves.
Obviously, the crazy guys who have never been in contact with us, who don't know where they came from, already know exactly what they want the Council to shelter these worlds from the onslaught, so they have chosen to take it easy at this point in time.
This looks like a bad thing.
But in fact, it is a very good thing for the Council of Hope to expand.
As long as they show their strength and means, more ronins from other planes who are powerless to protect themselves will take the initiative to join them. ”
"You said I wasn't worried about that, after all, my world had just suffered an unplanned invasion of another world, and although it didn't cause any chaos, it was indeed a little panicked."
Mason recognized that the N-metal ore in his hand was of extremely high quality, nodded in satisfaction, and then released the service robot in the pocket factory to transfer the ore.
When he walked out of the starship warehouse, he saw that the Eagle Woman of this world, who had joined the Zhenglian, was accompanied by Hal II, and was having a difficult exchange with his compatriots from another world.
Although they are both Sennagang warriors, the same civilization born from the two planes is just as different as the difference between the space-time heterotopes, and the details are by no means the same, so the communication between the two sides does not seem to be successful.
The sharp-eyed Mason also saw that the guy in Hal II was gently holding the hand of the lost Eagle Woman, and was whispering comfort.
Yo, this single dog from another world has actually found a second spring in this world?
Not bad.
However, considering that there is no John Stewart in this world, Hal Two's love road will probably go all the way?
Mason, who was smiling with his aunt, took off his alchemist's gloves, turned around and held the communicator levitating behind him, and saw that the beautiful things made him feel good, and continued to say to the Moon Knight:
"The point is not the eye of time and space!
Don't think about making it disappear if it's already there, it's the truth to adapt as soon as possible, and now that the situation has advanced to this point, the force has become the most insignificant factor in winning or losing.
I hope that the Council can be tough to absorb the plane ronin, and we can naturally do the same, just to see whose means are higher.
There's no time for more, though.
I now extend a formal invitation to you, Mark, and bring your army and your army of minions to us, pick a world to stay in, and wait until the onslaught is over before leaving.
I mean, when the impact happens, it's up to you to be personally involved in our plans with me.
On the bright side, perhaps you can witness the first miracle of the Dark Ages, and even if we fail, you will be able to escape through the world's gates before it is destroyed.
It's not a loss at all. ”
"You're just trying to let us do the hard work for you, and you know it's not going to be a shock that you have to deal with as you used to.
There are so many uncontrollable factors that you need more combatants on duty to serve as reserves. ”
The Moon Knight complained:
"And you know we can't say no, and the gods want to send an observer to see what you're up to, so remember to give us a front-row spot to see all the excitement in this crazy arena of dancing with the end up close.
I'm going to die with a bunch of brain cells every time I talk to this guy of you, it's so annoying, the communication is over! ”
The Divine Messenger team cut off communications, and Mason stepped out of the main body of the Senagon starship.
Before leaving, he reached out and touched the deck of this strange but imposing starship, and with the blessing of super engineering knowledge, he had all the data and complete construction drawings of this starship in a few seconds, but this wonderful knowledge did not help much for the current situation.
As Mason said, in the current situation, strength is no longer the main factor that affects victory or defeat, unless a peerless fierce man can suddenly jump out and can hammer the "impact concept" with both fists.
"Huh"
Just as Mason was about to leave the area sealed off by the face and return to Osborne Tower, a silver light suddenly flickered and a crack opened.
The captain turned around and saw the Hunter come out of it.
But his face was strange.
Because the Mentor robe that Ciri was wearing was the same one he had made for her last time.
It's a perfect way to outline the body and show the charm of women, which is not a big problem, but going out in such defenseless clothes is not Ciri's character.
"Look at what! Haven't you ever seen a woman? ”
The Hunter-sama didn't seem to be in a very good mood either, and threatened Mason, who was staring at her:
"If you look at it again, you'll gouge out your eyes."
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, although I don't know what I was wrong, but wrong is wrong."
Mason covered his eyes and asked:
"So, our honorable hunter, have you come here with any important purpose that needs to be conveyed to your loyal subordinates?"
"I'm here to ask what's going on with this Eye of Time."
Ciary pushed her mask, stood beside Mason and looked at the Sena Gang flagship in front of her, half of the ship had been buried in the waves of the Atlantic, she listened to the tide around her, and whispered:
"Because your actions caused the armillary sphere of the Stars to observe the parallel world to collapse, which made everyone feel uneasy, so they sent me, huh?"
Before she could finish her words, she felt a pair of hands wrap around her waist from behind, and this action made Ciri struggle uncomfortably, and she whispered:
"Don't do that, there's someone next to you."
"There are nine days to go, and the shock will come. It's not certain whether I can survive this time, even if I do, I still have to fight wits and courage with the bastards of Old A, I'm tired enough.
So, what do you care about other people?
I already knew what I should know, Harley knew it, and oh my god, I didn't know if it was a broken guy who told her that she was holding back her energy to snatch me back from you.
But to be honest, this feeling of being snatched up like a baby is really good, and it's no wonder that girls enjoy the feeling of being pursued. ”
Mason closed his eyes and sniffed at Ciri's silver hair, and he asked:
"You said the rest of the Stars were upset by my actions, but what about you? Do you also feel uneasy? ”
"I don't, but not for other reasons, it's just that I trust you."
Ciri clasped Mason's hand to push him away, as the Great Mentor, His Excellency naturally needs to be decent, and she does not intend to push this too ambiguous relationship between the two to the next level.
But at this very moment, Mason whispered in her already hot ear:
"I am simply carrying on my promise to you, to dismantle the foundations of the Stars, and to return the power of communication to everyone in this age who needs it.
The moment the Eye of Time and Space was born, the existence of the World Gate was meaningless.
The foundations of the Stars Society are crumbling.
That would be enough to ensure that after we destroy the bastard organization that has messed up our lives, the situation will not fall back into the cruel laws of the dark jungle.
Once the door of communication is opened, no one can easily close it anymore. ”
Mason let go of his hands, kissed Ciri's earlobe lightly, and said:
"That's all I'm telling you, I don't want you to misunderstand me, as for whether or not to tell the others you decide."
"So, after this impact, are you going to officially start a war with Old A and Mephisto?"
Ciri turned around abruptly, looked at Mason, and said in a dumb voice:
"So how long do I have to live? One month? Two months? ”
"I'm not going to let you die."
Mason said seriously:
"I won't take them lightly until I find a solution to the problem"
"No!"
Ciri stuck out her finger and gagged Mason's mouth.
She took off her mask, flicked her fluttering silver hair, looked at him, and said solemnly and resolutely:
"Don't give them more time to react and prepare, don't let me interfere with your plans, don't think too much, it will keep your chances of winning lower.
If you want to win cleanly, you have to seize the best time.
He's using me to interfere with you.
And I won't be a stumbling block for you, if you can't do it, I'll do it myself! ”
Mason fell silent.
Apparently he was unwilling, but Ciri grabbed his wrist with her backhand and dragged him into the office of the Star Castle in a flash of silver light, and she unbuttoned her robes and said to Mason:
"Do you want to finish what you didn't do last time?"
"No!"
Mason looked at the determined eyes in front of him, he took a step back resolutely, shook his head and said:
"I will not regret it at this time, it will only accelerate the self-destruction and the noble sacrifice you are making, listen to me, I will find a way, trust me one more time.
The days to come are still long.
Don't you want me to be left alone with eternal guilt and self-blame for my destined long life. ”
"I just don't want to be a burden to you."
Ciri lowered her head and said in a dumb voice:
"We shouldn't have started at all, Liana was right, it's the wrong relationship."
"Don't listen to her nonsense, the Hell Lord is just a single dog and doesn't like others to sprinkle dog food in front of her, but she also knows that I will come up with a solution."
Mason put his finger on Ciri's chin and lifted the face, and he smiled and said:
"It's not that desperate yet, okay, calm down, and report on the operation of the Stars Society during this time."
The captain leaped over the desk and sat down in the Hunter's chair, and said to her:
"Many people call me 'Lord of the Stars', so I really should take on my duty to guide this soon-to-be-destroyed organization through its final journey."
"You're just an A-class, don't treat yourself as a dish."
Ciri wiped her eyes and snorted, but seeing that Mason was really ready to listen to the work report of the Grand Tutor, she pursed her lips and picked up the document on the table and prepared to read it.
But Mason stopped her and patted his leg again.
The implication is obvious.
The Hunter bared his teeth, but Mason grabbed his wrist and pulled him over, obviously a powerful mentor, but like a delicate secretary, he could only be forced to sit in the arms of the captain.
She sighed and began the debriefing in this intimate way, leaning against Mason's chest, flipping through the papers in her hand, and whispering to Mason the various preparations of the Stellar Society for the Fourth Impact.
The Captain who leaned back in his chair closed his eyes as if he was resting, but even with the beauty in his arms, his brain was still running at high speed, and his left hand was gently wrapped around Ciri's hair, thinking about how the forces of the Stars Society should be arranged in this shock event.
Actually, Mason had a faint feeling.
There's no way that Mephisto old devil isn't aware of Team K's influence in the current Stars, but he didn't intervene to stop the three mentors from moving closer to Mason's side.
Even in decentralization.
There seems to be a desperate desire to see Mason's actions and performances in the fourth shock.
Of course, this can be understood as the cunning old devil wants Mason to create a miracle in order to completely turn against Quint, who wants to control Mason, to cause big trouble for Mason and Team K.
But it can also be understood that the old devil took the wrong medicine and just wanted to see a miracle.
Ciri didn't think as deeply as Mason, she just leaned into Mason's arms and continued her report, obviously she didn't hate this intimate mode when the two of them were alone.
But a few minutes later, after Ciri had finished talking about all the A-class team movements, the two of them had collectively noticed a problem that they hadn't noticed before.
"You say, Team Anna has been out of contact with Utopia for a week?"
Mason frowned, he checked his communication log with the other side, and realized that he had indeed not received any messages from Utopia for almost fifteen days.
The last time they spoke was before they fought the Red Queen in a liegeworld.
"Something must have happened over there."
Mason frowned and said:
"But instead of asking for help, they blocked all information channels, what does that mean?"
"Don't overthink it."
Ciri persuaded:
"Utopia is definitely the first tier of strength in the Council of Hope's system, and they can even be considered the most powerful independent force in the Council.
They're so much better than we are.
The Supreme Professor and his followers are capable of dealing with any danger. ”
"Being strong doesn't mean being safe."
Mason shook his head and said:
"If you were a member of an evil organization, what strategy would you use to make sure you made it to the end before you prepared to start a final battle between you?"
Ciri was stunned for a moment, and then she heard Mason say to her:
"Join forces with the other underdogs, kill the strongest before the fight begins, and divide it up to get the last bit of supplies. Utopia has gone wrong, and it's definitely a big deal.
I should probably go over and take a look.
No, I felt a strong sense of unease.
I need to go now. ”
Ps:
I felt a strong sense of uneasiness, and I had to start asking for a monthly pass right away!
