Volume 1: Welcoming Gotham Chapter 46 Mason's K Team Nassin Day
"It's a trap!"
The moment he recognized Catwoman, Zha Kang, who was already in a trance due to the ecstasy, realized that something was wrong.
He was about to activate the teleportation rune he had left behind, but suddenly Catwoman raised her charming long legs and slammed them accurately and ruthlessly between Zha Kang's legs.
The sharp pain of the broken eggs made the Magic Prodigal Son's eyes widen, and this perfect kick accurately interrupted Zha Kang's spell.
Then Catwoman raised her long legs and almost kicked Zha Kang into the door behind her, which theoretically could not be opened inwards.
"Mason! You tricked me!"
The shrill screams echoed, but Constantine had already disappeared in the spinning light screen before his eyes.
The door remains open.
Unfortunately, non-Star Society members cannot cross it and come back independently.
Big sister Selina, who had completed the "First Blood of the Day", waved her hands in boredom. It was so easy to deal with a guy who was obsessed with sex, even if he was a master of magic.
Once you start thinking with your lower body, even the smartest brain will become useless due to insufficient blood supply.
Tsk, man!
She turned around gracefully and saw Mason and the kite flyer who had passed the suitcase handing her the "equipment" on her left and right.
Mason held the folded invisibility cloak and the sheathed Sujie Eagle sword in his hands, with a black cat-ear helmet and ruby goggles on top.
Charles Brown, wearing a flight backpack and a furry flight suit, handed over the spare cat-tail whip with both hands.
Lady Catwoman let out a satisfied laugh, put on her helmet and invisibility cloak as a cape, tied her sword and cat-tail whip around her waist, and finally pushed up her ruby goggles.
She looks like a victorious lady about to go to battle.
She glanced at Mason and said:
"When I first met you, you were just a young man who knew to move forward but didn't know where to go. At that time, I just thought you were interesting."
"what about now?"
Mason, who was holding a penguin umbrella, asked.
Selina looked at the rotating light screen in front of her. At the moment when an unknown adventure was about to begin, the already restless black cat felt that all the passion in her veins had been activated.
It was like the night more than ten years ago when he imitated Batman's costume and went out for the first time. It was also like the first time he used his charm to kiss the bat boy goodbye.
She licked her lips and her eyes lit up.
To Mason:
"Now you have a lofty goal, just like a young knight preparing to slay a dragon, which adds a lot of momentum to you. Our little Mason has finally grown into a man that people can rely on.
do you know?
Batman told me that you have a heart that will not fall into darkness."
Catwoman completely ignored the possible danger behind this door. She strode into the rotating light curtain in front of her. The moment she disappeared, she said in a voice that only she and Mason could hear:
"I can actually escape, Mason. The defense of this box is not as tight as you think. But I always trust Bruce's judgment of people, and I don't think you will hurt me.
So if I can't come back, remember to tell him that it was his blindness that led to my accidental departure.
And if this is the farewell...
He will never forget this cat that no longer belongs to him, and I will have won the war with him."
Catwoman's laughter disappeared in the rotating light curtain, making Mason tremble and sigh that women who dwell on trivial matters are really terrible. He put his pistol on his back and inserted a series of potions he made into the card slot of the wide cowhide belt left by Old K.
"We'll be back, right, boss?"
The kite man behind him also carried the same type of pistol and asked with some lack of confidence.
Mason inserted Hagrid's hunting knife into the shark skin scabbard and hung it by his leg. He stretched out his left hand and placed it in front of Charles' eyes, letting the magic fire dance on his fingers, causing the kite flyer to stare with wide eyes.
"When you come back this time, you will also have such cool power, Charles. It just depends on whether you want it or not."
The young man shared this secret with his most trusted younger brother, dispersed the flames, put his hand on the kite flyer's shoulder, patted it hard, and said in a firm tone:
"We will definitely come back! Your son is not yet old enough to face the departure of his father, and the wonderful story of Mason Cooper has just begun!
We all have reasons to come back.
Do you remember what Lao K said when he had a falling out with us? "
The Kite Man nodded and said:
"How could I forget? He said there is no quitting this road. You either reach the end or die on the way... Old K died on the way. We killed him ourselves."
“So, our goal is the finish line!”
He said in a deep voice:
"Just for your son, you must be brave! Charles, we all must be brave."
After saying that, Mason strode into the rotating light curtain with his penguin parachute, and the kite man took out a photo from the pocket of his furry flight suit.
The photo was taken seven hours ago when he took his son to the amusement park.
He kissed the photo, put it back, put on his green "helmet" and golden goggles, took a deep breath, and rushed into the light curtain with his flying baby on his back and a gun in hand.
The next moment, the door to the world closed again with a click as if blown by the wind, and there was no more strange flow.
——
Caribbean Sea.
On a remote island in the West Indies, the warm tropical breeze keeps blowing on the sunny beach. The scenery of blue sea and blue sky in front of you is so pleasant that it seems that all the sorrows and worries have disappeared.
However, the screaming and irritable man on the beach, who was waving a green magic ball with gritted teeth, jumping up and down to chase his "teammates", seriously ruined the beautiful scenery.
"I've been so good to you! I almost gave you my whole heart! You bastard! You actually plotted against me!"
The black magician, who had just climbed ashore from the sea and nearly drowned, howled in embarrassment and continuously threw fireballs at Mason, a young man who was wringing out the water stains from his windbreaker not far away.
The latter didn't even try to dodge the incoming magic.
He knew that this was just Zha Kang venting his frustration.
This bastard is a truly smart guy. He undoubtedly already knows his situation. If he kills Mason here, he will never be able to go back.
The fight between the two men made the big catwoman who was sitting on the broken tree trunk watching the fun look very relaxed. She was holding a coconut in her hand, splitting it with Sujie's Eagle, and was drinking coconut juice leisurely.
This expedition ran into problems right from the start.
They landed in the vast ocean, but luckily there was an island nearby, which saved Team K from being annihilated. As for why only Catwoman didn't get wet...
Of course it’s because the tights her rich boyfriend customized for her are not only bulletproof, but also waterproof and fireproof. There’s nothing she can do about it, the life of rich people is just so boring and safe.
"What the hell is going on? Logically speaking, a permanent portal like that should have a physical entity on both sides of the two worlds!"
After being depressed for nearly ten minutes, Zha Kang finally calmed down.
He walked up to Mason and said in a deep voice:
"You need to explain this to me! If you're going to drag me on board."
“The location of the World Gate is fixed. It does form a physical gate in the target world, but it is a projection that can be destroyed. So the truth is very simple.
The projection door that Lao K left in this world was destroyed, so we fell into the sea."
Mason glanced at Zha Kang and said:
“But don’t worry.
The captain's world key can be used to reset the projection door. Theoretically, we can cut down a tree here and make a door and I can send you back.
As for the background of the World Gate and the Star Society, let’s wait until this expedition is completed and you and Selina officially become members of Team K.
Or maybe you can try your magic, Zha Kang, maybe you can give us a surprise?"
"What a lousy name!"
When Zha Kang heard Mason call him by his title, he was immediately furious. A short sword made of green flames popped out of his hand, and he waved it and shouted:
"I don't like that damn nickname! Don't call me that anymore!"
"No problem, Zhakang."
Mason replied, and Catwoman, who was sitting next to him drinking coconut milk, also replied quietly:
"Okay, Zhakang."
The angry Zha Kang glared at the bad woman who almost kicked his little brother to pieces.
Because the suitcase was left outside, Mason could only open his bag and take out a pair of communication headphones and put them into his ears. He looked at the endless sky again and saw a small black dot flying high in the sky.
That was the kite man on a reconnaissance mission.
As expected, Old K had good vision. It was the right move for him to choose Kite Man as the team's scout.
Charles, who can float in the air for a long time with the help of natural wind, can perfectly perform his duties in any world with air flow.
"Report, Charles."
Mason asked, and soon the kite man's voice came from high in the sky:
"We are on an archipelago, Boss. The endless sea around us makes me a little confused... Wait! I think I see a ship. I can fly over there.
Do you need me to contact you?"
"Go ahead."
Mason said:
"Act decisively. According to the intelligence left by Old K, this is a world full of pirates, so don't hesitate to use your guns."
After completing the communication, Mason took out a compass to determine the direction and heard Zha Kang complaining loudly beside him:
"The magic power in this world is very thin, Mason, less than one-fifth of what we have over there. My teleportation magic has a hard time taking effect here.
The sulphurous fire that could easily burn you to death has only left a small fireball after being thrown out, and I can't summon hell creatures here. The concept of "Nine Levels of Hell" may not exist in this world.
I have to save some magic power..."
"then!"
When Mason heard this, he immediately took out a bottle of black potion from his bag and threw it over. Zha Kang took it in his hand, opened the bottle and sniffed it, his face full of contempt at the unpleasant smell.
But from the magical aura contained in it, he guessed that it should be something like "magic potion".
"Little brother, tell me what the goal of our expedition is?"
Catwoman yawned after drinking the coconut juice, stood up and leaned against the tree next to Mason in a charming manner, folding her arms and said:
"Do you want to kill someone? Steal treasure? Or find something special?"
"Team K will have a mandatory pioneering and exploration mission in two months. My superiors said that the danger is very high, so our goal for the next two months is to improve our overall strength as much as possible."
Since it was decided that Catwoman and Zha Kang would join the group, Mason did not hide the current situation. He said based on the contents of the captain's manual given by Mr. Hunter:
“So all available resources are our collection goals.
In addition, it is obviously not enough for Team K to have only four of us, so we should also pay attention to some outstanding guys in this world who can become our reserve teammates.
This exploration lasts five days, and we must race against time to establish a long-term presence here."
"Want to recruit people?"
Zha Kang, who was listening closely, curled his lips and looked at the soaked Sikka cigarettes in his pocket in frustration. He whispered:
"Then why do you fancy a loser like me? Forget about anything else. When Catwoman showed up, didn't the damn Batman come running to help?
He is much better than me.”
"No way."
Selina shook her head.
She looked at the scenery of another world and complained softly:
"He's been very busy and secretive lately, and even refused my invitation to take a bath together. Otherwise, why would I be so bored that I would come and follow you around in another world?"
"boom"
As the three were talking, a red firework rose from the sea in the distance, indicating that the kite man had taken control of the ship. Mason breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to the two people and said:
"Before we get on board, let's have a frank talk, both of you."
The young man pulled open the sleeve of his left arm. The hideous tattoo made Catwoman narrow her eyes, but Zha Kang suddenly realized something. He said:
"Is this why you got cursed?"
“The initiation ceremony of the organization called the Star Society is the process of blessing the curse. There is no doubt that their leader is using this method to control the entire Star Society.
I don't know yet if this is an open secret.
But I am sure that this tattoo represents the rank in the Star Society."
Mason said frankly:
"I am currently a C-level staff member, Charles is an E-level staff member, and you have to complete your own 'entry test'. Scumbag Kang, don't think of any crooked ideas.
If you don't join the Star Society, you can only enter but not exit through that door.
The reason I asked you to join the team is because I hope you can use your magical knowledge to help us. I mean, help sincerely instead of just making a quick buck and running away. "
"whispering sound"
Zha Kang snorted disdainfully.
But after thinking about it, he had to pessimistically agree with Mason's approach. If he wanted a jerk like himself with no bottom line to help him wholeheartedly, the only way was to "share the blessings together".
"As for you, Selina."
Mason looked at Catwoman and said:
"It's just to put us on the same side so that you don't tell my secret to Batman. After all, if he knew about the zombie disaster, I would probably be imprisoned in Arkham.
But I don’t regret doing that.
My only response to the claws of darkness reaching out to me is to cut them off.
And I have to tell you a secret."
The young man pursed his lips and whispered to Catwoman:
"The League of Assassins is still active in Gotham, and I met Batman's son last night... an operation against him and all of Gotham is on the agenda.
If you are truly willing to be my teammate, then when the Bat Family needs it, Team K will do our best to help him."
Catwoman didn't care about Mason's sincere invitation at all. The elder sister was like being bombarded with thoughts, and all that echoed in her mind was the words that Mason had just said so calmly.
Mason meets Bruce's son...
Bruce has a son?
It’s not the same child as mine!
"I'm going to chop that sentimental bastard to death!"
Catwoman screamed and pulled out the Sujie Eagle from her waist, and yelled at Mason:
"Right now! You two stinky men, go chop down some trees and build a door! I'm going to be back in Gotham within half an hour! I'm going to kill him! I'm still keeping my virginity for him.
He actually hooked up with this weird woman and even had a son?
How dare you accuse me of running away from my marriage?
Give him face!"
"Calm down, hey!"
Mason grabbed Catwoman's wrist and shouted:
"I said so much, and this is all you heard? Hey! Calm down and sober up, okay?"
"Don't stop her, Mason, let her go."
Zha Kang clapped his hands, whistled and shouted:
"I love watching this. Bad woman Catwoman, go kill Batman! That bastard actually dared to tell Zack about me, what a shame! I can still bear the grievance and take over for you if you lose your boyfriend.
Under your conditions, I really don’t care about these things.”
More than ten minutes later, the kite man with an ugly face threatened the small merchant ship with a gun and dropped anchor near the beach. He saw three people with a strange atmosphere on the beach and said to Mason through the headset:
"Boss, I have bad news for you. Very bad news. There is something on the ship that you must come and see immediately. I mean...
We could be in big trouble.”
