The Masons storm the Star of the End.

But they didn't cross the sea of stars and land on the dark star made up of the wreckage of countless worlds, the crumbling crystal wall worked more like a semi-permanent portal, and after passing through it, it transferred them from the disintegrating Dou Realm to the end star in a rather strange way.

However, this teleportation seems to be random.

At least by the time Mason woke up from his slightly dizzy perception, there was no sign of anyone else around him, neither the family teases, nor the cuties, nor the dogs.

Only he opened his eyes in the dim environment.

Mason got up from the ground, pulled out the Pistol of Destiny from his waist, and looked around warily.

It looked like some eerie hallway, in an enclosed building, and the walls on either side of the captain were covered with all sorts of working computing devices, like a super server room.

Judging by the specifications of the Endstar and the role it carries, it is likely that this is an area directly connected to the main body of its circulatory functions.

But Mason didn't feel like he was separated from the others, and it was an accident that he was teleported here with precision.

This must be someone behind the scenes!

"Hey, what are you doing there? Come over when you wake up! ”

A familiar voice rang out above Mason, causing the captain to look up and see Zero Tony Stark standing on the railing above him waving at him.

The guy had a sickly smile on his face that said "Look, I said we'd meet again," as if it was all in his plan.

Mason pouted, plunged his pistol back into his waist and leaped forward, landing pinpoint next to Tony Zero in the water.

"I remember I killed you with one shot."

He said:

"Why are you alive again?"

"Look, you're not up to the level of what you're asking."

Zero Tony took a sip of the liquid from the coffee cup in his hand and complained to Mason:

"You killed me seventeen years later, what does it have to do with me now?

When you step into the Dou Realm, you should know that time here is an anchor point on the sacred timeline and is always in a loop, so theoretically as long as I stay here all the time, I can achieve true immortality.

But there's nothing to be proud of either.

Don't worry about your friends, I sent them a little further away, but they all left a mark, and they will come and join you soon. ”

"There's not that much time."

Mason watched from a high vantage point at the magnificence of the massive computing array the size of a small city below, and he could sense the oppression of the end star as it was about to set sail from the pulsating and rapidly growing points of light.

He said:

"Take me to the key point and stop this thing."

"Don't worry."

Zero Tony waved his hand indifferently, and said:

"It's just set sail now, and it's still thirty minutes before it calibrates the timeline and starts the loop, and believe me, I've seen this thing run a dozen times, and every second counts.

And you will not see the Lord now.

It was only after the Voyage Procedure was activated that the guy was able to temporarily break free from the chaotic cycle of time, so I still have a little time to tell you the truth that you may have guessed, but not quite the truth.

But before I get to that, I have to ask you a question."

He turned his head to stare at Mason and said:

"Where's the gem in my head? You don't seem to have it with you? ”

"I buried it in the graveyard of the tyrant Tony."

Mason said bluntly:

"I think that poor man deserves it, he has been used as a tool by you for so long, and it is unreasonable not to pay others, right?"

"Tools?"

Zero Tony sighed and said:

"So in your eyes, am I such a bastard who would count myself into it? No, it's not like that, and when I realized I had to make a difficult choice, I gave him the most precious thing that was supposed to be mine.

Freely.

I gave him freedom.

I hope that he will not be bound by my fate and can live as an independent person in the outside world, without having to bear my pain and my despair, but he is too obsessed with identity and identity.

The moment I separated him, we were already individuals.

It's just a name and an identity, but he can't let go. ”

"People just want to be whole, not accusing you of stealing their life."

Mason pouted and said:

"And don't pretend to be like the White Lotus, the tragedy of the tyrant Tony was caused by you, but I don't want to discuss this with you, let's talk about the truth.

We're really pressed for time and we have to. uh."

The captain felt a pain in his heart as he spoke, and he lay on the railing and clutched his heart and let out a cry of pain, which startled Tony Zero.

He's waited so long for someone who can break the pathetic cycle of reincarnation, and he can't let this bastard die in front of his eyes, it's too bad.

"Hey, are you okay?"

He kept patting Mason on the back and asking him how he was doing, and the captain waved his hands as if he was not breathing, and after a few seconds he recovered.

He said:

"It's nothing, it's okay, don't worry."

"Can I not be worried?"

Zero Tony complained:

"Your face is worse than mine now, it's like you've stayed up for ten days and ten nights, standing next to you, I'm afraid that you will suck my yang energy, what's going on?"

"It's a good thing."

Mason touched the beating heart, and there seemed to be a strange echo in the heart chambers in the vibrations, as if it had formed a resonance with someone in the distance.

He smiled and said to Tony Zero:

"She's back, and I have a backup plan."

——

"Hmm"

It was as if a dream that had been so long that it would never wake up had finally come to an end, and after a few rapid breaths, those closed eyes suddenly opened.

What caught my eye was a blurry light, and I couldn't see the scene of the outside world clearly, I could only vaguely see a figure in front of my eyes, stretching out her hand and shaking her as if she was saying something?

Hearing clearly, the whole world seems to be blurry.

Well, it must have been a sudden upsurge, so that her groggy mind couldn't keep up with the sudden change in events for a while, so she decided to close her eyes and sleep for a while.

But in the next moment, she realized a very important truth.

She lived!

Resurrection from eternal silence and return to the world of light seemed like a blink of an eye, and it seemed like a million years had passed.

"Huh"

Ciria opened her eyes again, this time the world was clearer.

She was full of anticipation to see the little man Mason waiting beside her, but to her disappointment, it was not Mason who appeared next to her, but his personal secretary, Miss Hanako.

The latter seemed frightened, shaking Ciria on one side and a pink pistol in the other.

"Are you okay? Ms. Ciri? Why don't you show up here with your clothes on? That's not right! Lord Mason's office had been sealed before, and there was no way anyone could break in. ”

Miss Huazi will also be a little confused.

This was not the time when the bar was open, so she was still in her room with her three adopted cats catching up on sleep.

Awakened by the sudden alarm, I rushed over to take a look, and found that a silver-haired nude had inexplicably appeared in the sealed office. Female, who can stand this kind of thing like a supernatural event?

Can androids also get scared?

But fortunately, as Mason's personal secretary, Miss Hanako still knows a lot about the captain's connections, and she recognized at a glance that this is Ms. Ciri, who maintains an illicit relationship with the captain.

It's just that the form she suddenly appeared in was somewhat surprising.

The whole person seems to be one size smaller.

No, this description is not accurate, after all, it is still the big and the small, but the face is undoubtedly much younger, so the overall look is like growing against time.

"My brain is a mess."

Ciri opened her mouth to speak, but her newly revived body obviously needed time to adapt, and she couldn't move well if she wanted to get up, so she could only signal Miss Huazi, who was wearing pajamas, to help her up.

His silver hair seemed to have not been taken care of for a long time, and the moment he got up, his hair was waist-length like a gorgeous cloak, but he walked like a toddler to move to the mirror in Mason's office.

She looked at herself in the mirror, her familiar cheeks returning to the way she was eighteen, just as Mason had prophesied at the last time they parted.

But more importantly, his eyes are no longer cat-like pupils, but have returned to the pure pupils lit by the elven blood that he has long forgotten, reflecting the whole world like a mirror.

"Mason-sama should still have your clothes here, I'll look for them."

Miss Hanako opened the wardrobe and soon found Ciri's hunting suit and the standard robe of the Stars Society, but fortunately, her figure did not shrink so that she still fit after wearing it.

After a few minutes of acclimatization, Ciri's staccato and chaotic mind returned, and she rubbed her forehead to look at Miss Hanako, who had also changed into her work clothes.

She said:

"How long have I been dead?"

"About ten days."

Huazi reported a precise time, and then glanced at Ciri, who was looking down and caressing his left arm, and said:

"The Stars are gone, Master Mason disbanded the organization, and you're free."

"I never doubted that."

Ciri shook her head, and she raised her regained movement fingers to open the secret room of the office with ease, and walked into it to choose her own longsword among the weapons made by Mason, and asked:

"Where's Mason?"

"Uh, my lord, he's missing."

Miss Huazi said with some regret:

"After accomplishing a great deed, as the classic end of those legends, he mysteriously disappeared at the wedding of Lord Bruce and Lady Selena.

Hallie and Miss Quinn also disappear together.

The incident caused considerable chaos but was quickly suppressed by the others, after all, the shock is not over yet, and the neo-utopian project must continue.

However, there is speculation that Mistress Mason did not choose to let go, but continued his unfinished journey in his own way, and he may still be fighting in another distant world at this time.

You can be patient here.

He had promised that he would return here before Lady Selena's child was born. ”

"No, we can't wait."

Ciri carried a sheathed sword behind her back, expertly fastened the straps of her weapons, and took a ladies' armed belt and tied it around her waist, inserting several daggers into it.

She said without looking back:

"I could feel where he was, and the existential connection made him like a beacon in the distance to light the way for me to find him, and I had to go now.

He could be in danger. ”

"That's the problem, Ms. Ciri."

Miss Huazi said regretfully:

"This is the time for the fifth shock, and while our world has been overcome by the skillful fusion process, this one is far superior to the previous four in terms of energy intensity and influence.

The new Osborne Tower has already issued a ban that does not allow anyone to make a jump at the spatial level in this situation so as not to have problems.

Larger fusions are still going on, and you've been through that, and with the cosmic frequencies of the plane fusion in effect, even you can't come and go as you please.

So, you should wait.

It's not just for your safety. ”

"I can just jump over there!"

Ciri picked up a delicate hunter's crossbow and turned around, and said to Miss Huazi:

"I can sense Mason's location, and it only takes a while of charging power to directly open the space-time rift that falls near him, and after my body is purified, the blood of the elder will no longer be affected by the demonic power.

I'm sure I won't be affected by the impact of the space-time disturbance anymore!

But I can't go alone, please call K-Team for me. ”

"Team K has also been disbanded."

Miss Secretary sighed and said:

"Lord Mason disbanded his team, and now the members of the team have been scattered to various worlds in the world, perhaps because he foresaw your plan of action in advance, and he does not want to be disturbed."

"That's what he thinks! Not mine. ”

Ciri said with some annoyance:

"He always thinks he can handle everything, like when I first met him, but he needs support so that he doesn't close his eyes and die when he messes everything up.

I'm his boss!

I have to take that responsibility.

Hanako, gather Team K and all the forces willing to go together as support, I'm not kidding, I'm bound to Mason, and we're more connected than ever.

He needs help!

I can be sure of this, he is in danger. ”

Hearing that Ciri was so resolute, Miss Hanako no longer hesitated, and she stepped forward to activate the communication network for emergency contact with her ID card on Mason's desk.

This was left behind by Barbara, and although Team K had been disbanded, Batgirl apparently decided that they needed a backup network in case of contingencies.

It turns out that Mason's old sister has really learned well in preparing for a rainy day, and this secret network that has been left behind really comes in handy at this moment.

While activating the network, Miss Hanako looked at Ciri, who was sitting on the sofa and wearing boots, and asked curiously:

"I have a doubt, Miss Ciri, if you have a connection with Lord Mason that I can't imagine, then why are you resurrected here?

Shouldn't he be by his side? ”

The question silenced Ciri.

She strapped up her boots, got up and put on the Cloak of the Great Mentor of the Stars Society, and walked to the large floor-to-ceiling window of the office in front of her to look at the entire Gotham City in front of her.

After a few seconds, she said:

"This is where we first met, right here, right in front of this window. I don't really understand how this connection and binding work, but I guess it doesn't all work according to Mason's idea.

There are not many places that can impress me in my long memory, and most of them are dead in the past, perhaps this is the node of my destiny.

A node that I chose with him and connected to each other's lives. ”

She touched her finger, which was not the ring she loved, which made Ciri pout, and made her silver hair flutter as she shook her head.

"I'm back, I'm going to be back with him, and then I'm not separated, and I deserve it, and he deserves it."

She looked off at the hilt of her sword, her other hand gently raised, as if touching something.

She whispered:

"Be patient, Mason, my beloved, the Savior who dragged me out of the mire of fate, the man who allowed me to really burn, hold on!

I'll be here soon, your hunters and your friends, and we'll be to you in no time. ”
