Volume 2 Honoring Robin Chapter 22: Mirror, mirror, tell me who is the most handsome writer in the world?
"Click"
Mason inserted the golden headmaster's office key he had taken from Mr. Potter's diary into the shrinkage hole.
With a slight twist, the tightly closed door was pushed open.
Then there was a rotten smell coming out, which was the smell of a rotting corpse, causing the Catwoman behind him to cover her nose immediately.
The young man took a look inside and found that there were many corpses lying in a mess in the principal's office, which was still intact. They were all dressed in the same way.
Wearing black suits and wizard cloaks, almost everyone has a wand in their hands.
Aurors, no doubt.
"There must have been a desperate struggle here, and the fighting was fierce."
Kite counted the bodies in the room and whispered:
"And they didn't turn into zombies. That's really strange. Is this room isolated from the virus outside?"
"I'm more curious about who these Aurors are fighting?"
Mason turned on the respirator on his mask, filtered out the unpleasant smell, walked into the room and squatted over the nearest corpse to examine it.
He touched a blood-stained badge and found that it was the badge of a senior Auror from the Far East Ministry of Magic, which made the young man raise an eyebrow and look at the other corpses.
“Senior wizards from all over the world, who I guess are the best fighters in the world, have set a trap here.
They appear to be trying to capture or kill a World Destroyer.
But they certainly failed.”
Mason walked around the luxurious but blood-stained and rancid carpet for a few laps and said to his companion:
"It's a pity to have such a desperate fight back in such a desperate world."
"It's not all failure, Mason, look at this!"
Catwoman was quick to object.
She found something in the attic on the second floor of the principal's office and called Mason forward. A corpse that was almost completely torn apart by magic lay dead in front of her. The attire was completely different from that of the wizard Aurors.
The red uniform looked like some kind of standard attire, but it was already in tatters. Mason looked the body up and down and found that his body shape was different from that of an ordinary person, taller and bigger.
He squatted down, put on gloves and searched among the filth.
A moment later, Mason took out an unused syringe-like object from the corpse's waist bag in surprise.
This thing has an exquisite shape and is an integrated structure that completely encapsulates the injection liquid. It can be injected by pressing a button.
Mason asked Kite Man to move the Auror's body out and burn it, and asked Catwoman to search for something usable in the headmaster's office where a fierce battle had taken place.
He took the syringe in his hand and examined it. Soon an information label popped up:
"Cleanser" Legion Commander Standard Enhancer [Vanguard Series]
Quality: Excellent alchemical creation, outstanding craftsmanship
Features: Adaptive enhancement, short-term effectiveness, perfect blueprint, multiple transformations
Item Effect: Use the Enhancer to gain [Specific Enhancement] over the next 30 minutes.
Currently, the type of this enhancer is [Beast Instinct·Immortal Self-Healing·Skeletal Alienation], and its special ability is based on "Wolverine" Logan.
Use times: [3/3]
Tip: This enhancer can be adapted to a variety of different special ability samples. The specific operation process is to add different gene extracts to the basic enhancer and let it stand to obtain a complete enhancer.
This enhancer will produce great stress on the human body and will trigger a series of rejection reactions after use. It cannot be used continuously, except for those with special genetic modifications.
Producer: The Seventh Production Line of the Logistics Department of the "Cleanser" Corps
Item Description: This is obviously a "stitched monster" made by integrating multiple creative ideas. Its significant strengthening effect and terrible side effects make it the best gift for cannon fodder.
Status: Alchemy Lv4 required. You can try to analyze the basic enhancer formula and production process.
"Um……"
Mason frowned as he looked at the thing in his hand, then glanced at the body at his feet that was torn into pieces by magic. It was difficult for him to distinguish his identity from this bloody mess.
But what is certain is that this guy is a member of the "World Destroyer".
It should be a "pioneer".
Or cannon fodder?
The information contained in this bottle of enhancer made the young man exclaim in amazement. The mere fact that "the ability model comes from Wolverine Logan" has revealed many, many ideas that make people think deeply.
First of all, it has been confirmed that the invaders came from another world.
Secondly, Will Turner, the captain of the ghost ship in the Caribbean world, told Mason that it was the stars that were spreading the zombie virus, and that zombies were also rampant in the Hogwarts world.
Finally, judging from the information label on this bottle of medicine, these world invaders called "Cleaners" might be in cahoots with the Star Society.
We might even venture to speculate that the two parties are in the same group.
"I really did join a super villain organization, whose evil power far exceeds that of the Penguin's gang, so I just climbed out of the evil quagmire, and then jumped into another bottomless quagmire.
Why is this shit never going to end? "
Mason stood up and complained in his heart:
"I want to get clean and be a good person. Is it so difficult?"
He sighed and put the enhancer sample in his bag to study it later.
Although this thing is used as cannon fodder, it is indeed very effective.
The fact that a multi-modification could grant the user short-term superpowers based on genetic extracts was enough to make Mason focus his alchemy on this thing for a long time to come.
This may be a little difficult to understand, so let me put it in a simpler way.
If Mason can put Superman's Kryptonian genes into the basic enhancer, does that mean he has a "Superman Experience Card" that lasts for 30 minutes?
Faced with such temptation, who can resist?
"Mason, I found something weird, come and see!"
Catwoman's shout came from deep within the principal's office. The young man hurried forward with an excitement like he was going to explore. Then, under a collapsed display cabinet, he saw something that Catwoman had taken out with both hands.
Well, an egg.
A very, very big egg.
It is two times larger than an ostrich egg, just like a human head, and there are charming flame-shaped patterns on the egg, making it look like a work of art.
"what is this?"
Mason asked in surprise, and Catwoman shrugged and said:
"I don't know, but it's beautiful, isn't it? Maybe it'll be a good piece of art in my mansion. Oh, and there are some books and a weird mirror over there, too.
This is the only thing in the house that remains intact; everything else was torn to pieces by their fight."
"it's a pity ."
The young man curled his lips. He thought there must be something good in the principal's office. With this regret, he reached out and touched the huge egg in Catwoman's arms.
The next moment, a very special information label popped up:
Fox's Egg
Quality: Phoenix/Phoenix Egg·Legendary Creature [Extremely Dangerous]
Status: Rebirth from Nirvana [Countdown: 24 years]
Item Description: Its last death was full of pain and despair, so when it hatches again, you should stay away from it wisely.
Tip: Phoenix likes flames. Placing it in flames will speed up its shell breakout.
"Shit!"
Mason's face changed slightly, he exclaimed, and withdrew his hand as if he was burned. This reaction made Catwoman alert. She rarely saw Mason, who had always remained calm, show such an excited reaction.
The moment she suspected that she was holding something dangerous, Selina immediately threw the egg in her arms to Mason, and then she rushed out and hid far away behind a pillar.
It was looking around curiously, as if that beautiful big egg would explode at any time.
"What is that?"
Catwoman screamed, and the Kite Man not far away became nervous and raised his gun to aim at this side.
But Mason did not answer. He carefully placed the egg deep inside his suitcase, then raised his head and said in a deep voice to his two teammates:
"Don't tell Constantine about its existence. It's not that I don't trust him, but this thing is too hot to handle. It might make Constantine cross his already limited bottom line again.
Well, don't look at me like that, it's a phoenix egg.
Phoenix, do you understand?
Phoenix!"
"Phoenix? Is there such an outrageous thing in this world?"
Catwoman screamed:
"I thought it was bad to have a flying dragon."
"Old K said that the witchcraft power of this world is very weak and it is not qualified to be rated as a C-level world. It is because of the existence of these magical animals that this world has been paid special attention by the Star Club and listed as an open exploration world."
Mason explained:
"This world has more than just dragons and phoenixes. Almost all the fantasy creatures you can think of are here... griffins, Pegasus, thunderbirds, and even sea monsters.
But I suspect that most of the magical creatures that are still alive have been captured by the bastards of the Star Society, and we are here just to pick up the loose ends."
"Well, you picked up the most powerful and precious one, right?"
Catwoman crossed her arms and pouted:
“Actually, my elder sister also has a hobby of raising pets, and I suddenly feel that having a phoenix as a pet may be the most magical experience in my life.
I found the egg, so it belongs to me!"
"Don't make trouble, you can't control it."
Mason refused decisively.
He acted righteously as the captain of the hairy people, but when he saw Catwoman's unhappy face, he thought about it and took out the birdcage in his arms and threw it to Selina as compensation.
Otherwise, in a few days, a weird little essay titled "Girls, unite and destroy my furry leader Mason Cooper" will appear on Gotham's "Villain Forum".
Catwoman took the birdcage in her hand and it returned to its normal size. Miss Magg, who was sleeping soundly inside with the remains of her school hat in her arms, blinked her scarlet eyes and looked at Selina who was looking at her.
Maybe it was because it was full that it didn't stretch out its claws to scratch her.
"Wow! What a cute and proud little kitty!"
Selena's eyes turned into heart shapes.
She looked at the unique tabby cat in the cage. Although she knew it was a dangerous zombie beast, there was nothing she could do about it because the little guy was so handsome.
The "repair" of the resurrection stone fragments and the recent feeding of veal to ensure its "health" have made the originally shriveled and hideous zombie tabby cat become shiny and plump.
Most importantly, it is not just a cat!
Perhaps it is due to the great wizard temperament of Animagus that makes Miss Magg have an arrogant aura that other coquettish and mean cats simply do not have.
Like the king of cats.
For Selina, who calls herself "Catwoman", uses cat ears as decoration, uses cat tail whips as weapons, and secretly raises dozens of cats in her mansion in Gotham, she was attracted to this little thing at first sight.
"Call me mom, little one, I'm going to give you a new name, Bruce or Martha..."
"It's called Mag."
Mason corrected as he took out the few intact items Catwoman had found from the ruins:
"Minerva McGonagall! You can't just give it a random name, Selina. This is very important. Although it looks like a cat, I have to warn you that it is more than just a cat.
This is a zombie Animagus.
Although it may have to maintain this posture forever until its brain, which was modified by the virus, returns to normal."
"Ani what?"
Catwoman held her beloved birdcage and kitten, and said the difficult and complicated term in surprise. Kite Man had heard of it before but didn't know its specific meaning.
They both stared at Mason, and the young man sighed and said:
"Do I really have to explain everything to you? Can you read the book I brought back? It's about a great wizard!
She has a special ability that allows her to transform herself into a cat.
That ability is called Animagus, similar to the forest druids in Celtic mythology. In other words, Selina is actually holding a great wizard who is old enough to be your grandmother. "
"cool!"
Selina was not afraid after hearing this explanation, but became even more excited. She held the bird cage in front of her eyes, stretched out her hands to tease the dangerous zombie cat like crazy, and imitated the cat's meow and said:
“This way I not only have my own dangerous kitten, but also my own great wizard… well, who’s the best, Miss McGonagall?
You’re the best, right?”
"hehe"
Mason glanced at Selina, who had forgotten her old lover and had a new pet, and the "anti-Catwoman tactics" he had prepared in his mind were immediately modified.
There is no need for those complicated steps and insidious preparations.
He only needs to go to the pet market to pick out a few coquettish and mean cats and carry them with him, and he can most likely avoid Catwoman's betrayal. Ah, is this the dark happiness of Mr. Batman?
Perhaps the superhero countermeasures he prepared in his secret database are so simple and practical.
"Shua"
The young man was furiously complaining about Catwoman's "late-stage cat-loving syndrome" in his mind, while pulling away the magic pattern cloth covering the mirror in front of him. Then, a huge, shabby mirror appeared before his eyes.
This thing has gone beyond the size of a dressing mirror.
It's like it's for giants.
Mason, who was 185cm tall, was less than two-thirds of its height when he stood in front of it.
But its mirror surface was dark, as if no light would be reflected on it, and no human figure could be reflected. Only when Mason looked at it would a blurry reflection appear.
Then, Mason saw someone in the mirror who looked completely different from who he was.
Mason's face changed drastically when he saw the familiar face. He tried to touch the mirror with some trembling. At this moment, a line of information labels popped up and Mason immediately woke up:
Mirror of Erised/Mirror of Desire
Quality: Epic Alchemy/Enchantment/Inscription/Jewelry Processing Items·Precision Craftsmanship
Item Effect: Look in the mirror and discover your inner desires. Calm your mind and show your true self. Reject temptation and don't indulge in dreams.
Producer: Unknown
Item Description: Magic mirror, magic mirror, please tell me who is the most handsome author in the world?
"Stay away from that mirror, Mason!"
At this moment, Zha Kang's scolding voice came from the door.
The dark wizard was tossing a small box that looked very much like a voodoo birdcage up and down in his hand, and was feeling very proud of himself when he saw Mason who was attracted by the magic mirror.
The knowledgeable Zha Kang walked quickly forward, pulled Mason away from the mirror, stood there and looked forward, and immediately saw the craziest desire in his heart, which made him instantly immersed in it and unable to extricate himself.
Mason, Catwoman and Kite Man, who had regained consciousness, came over and looked at Zhakang from behind.
I found that a very indecent picture was projected on the mirror. Zha Kang was hugging two girls and doing something very indecent.
"Tsk tsk, what a play."
Big sister Selina curled her lips, looked at it with interest and said puzzledly:
"I know the girl on the left. She's Zatanna, who has had an unclear relationship with Bruce for a long time. Who's the one on the right?"
"Cheryl Constantine."
Mason sighed and said softly:
"John's first love and his biological sister. The poor woman went to hell because of John. It is said that she was used as a bargaining chip by a certain devil lord to threaten John."
“Eh~”
The Kite Man immediately showed an expression that said "I'm a gentleman and I don't even look at these things", but the next moment, he was pushed in front of the magic mirror by Mason and Selina, and he squeezed Zha Kang away.
The kite flyer's desire was immediately reflected in the mirror.
This guy was posing like a hero, holding a golden trophy with the words "King of Gotham City Villains" written on it, and accepting cheers from a group of beautiful villains amidst flying streamers.
Lying in a mess at his feet were the Joker, Two-Face, Dr. Freeze and even Batman, all of his familiar faces who had been beaten black and blue by him.
“It’s so shameful.”
Mason curled his lips, glanced at the distraught Zha Kang, then picked up the Great Wizard's Grimoire he found nearby and flipped through a few pages, then said to Zha Kang:
"Come on, complete this ritual! Then we'll leave here and don't let Batboy wait anxiously."
