Volume 4: The Last Day Chapter 38: A patient who cannot protect the sweetheart doctor does not deserve to be named Harley Quinn
"Hey, did you see that lightning just now? Lao De? Is that your name?"
On the way to Miller Harbor, Harley Quinn, sitting in the self-driving car, pressed her entire face against the car window, pointed at the sky and screamed to the AI driver, Delaman:
"First in the direction of Crime Alley, then outside the city, that's definitely not normal lightning! Look at the dark clouds rolling up overhead, they look like the devil's X-eye.
It's Mason, someone must be trying to harm him!
no!
I have to go back and help.”
"Excuse me, passenger, but you can't help me if you go back."
Delamain said in a gentle tone:
"Based on the current situation and the analysis of the combat power data of temporary passengers, you should honestly follow Ms. Ivy to Osborne Tower, which is the most suitable for the current situation... Passenger! Calm down, please do not fight with the automatic driving program for driving rights, which will increase the incidence of unnecessary safety accidents!"
"Shut up, you weird little elf hiding in a car!"
Harley jumped into the driver's seat and violently twisted the steering wheel, forcing the car to turn, while shouting:
"My attending physician is in danger, and I'm a complete psychopath who can kill people without paying for my life. Do you understand me?
I don’t care about safety or the future!
I've already lost Mr. J, and if Mr. K dies too, my life is over! Damn it, you car ghost, turn! Do you hear me?
Turn back!"
"Risk of collision! Warning! There is a collision..."
"Bang"
As Harley and the autopilot program fought for the steering wheel, the car lost control and crashed into the roadside guardrail amid Delaman's sharp warning.
This is not the fault of the old driver’s AI’s lack of functionality.
It was just because the car was stolen temporarily, and it did not have any special device inside that could cooperate with Delaman for emergency braking, and Harley's snatching behavior did increase the risk of an accident.
"Life support system activated... This car has no life support system, what a backward design! It seems that the temporary passenger is injured and bleeding, so the additional protection process of the 'Keep Improving' service package is activated...
Temporary passengers, please stay where you are and do not move. This program will immediately call the nearest medical..."
"Bang"
A bullet was fired from the twisted and deformed narrow compartment, piercing the speaker of the AI.
Then, with a painful groan, Harley Quinn, with her head covered in blood, stretched out her right hand with difficulty and activated the gravity ring on her finger amid the shattering glass.
She treasures this ring very much.
I carry it with me wherever I go, not even taking it off when I take a bubble bath.
This is a gift from Mr. K, and now Mr. K is in danger...
"Get out of my way!"
With a scream, an arc of electricity burst out from the gravity ring, and the gravity hammer was activated, causing the overturned car to roll over with a bang, and then the deformed car door was kicked open by Harley's feet.
Then, the psychopathic woman, her face covered in blood, crawled out of the smoking car, panting, clutching a gun.
She tore off her long skirt because it was hindering her movements, and threw her beautiful high-heeled shoes away. She stood barefoot on the road and used the gun in her hand to stop a passing car.
He opened the car door and roughly grabbed the driver and threw him on the side of the road. He then got in the car, stepped on the accelerator and drove away, leaving only the poor car owner who was left on the dark road leading to the pier, hiding on the side of the road and crying helplessly.
Harley, with the accelerator pressed to the bottom, was frantically wiping the blood off her face, smearing it all over her face. Her long hair was scattered on her shoulders in a mess. Coupled with her shrill voice and crazy look, she looked like a living Harley Quinn.
She licked the blood on her lips, the taste made her eyes widen, then she turned the soothing music playing in the car to the rock radio station with disgust. The harsh music with a roaring rhythm and accompanied by drums made Harley feel as cool and powerful as a brave and fearless female knight.
"Mr. K., my handsome doctor, your lovely patient is here to save you! But the little car elf is right, I can't get anything done just by going there.
Ha, he has magic potions hidden in his basement, and Ivy told me where the dangerous 'contraband' is hidden."
Harley, who was driving, held her broken nose while enduring the pain. As a graduate of medical school and having a doctorate degree, she knew exactly what to do in this situation.
She gritted her teeth and straightened her crooked nose with a click.
This action made Harley scream in pain, and the car, which was driving at high speed, almost lost control and collided head-on with a pickup truck that was snatched by three fleeing cowboy wizards.
The two sides gave each other middle fingers and greeted each other's mothers with warm words, demonstrating the warm and hospitable nature of Gotham people.
Then there was a loud bang.
Harley saw from the rearview mirror that the car that almost hit her was struck by a bolt of lightning from the sky and exploded into a fireball, which made her laugh out loud and honk the horn all the way back to the city.
At this time, Gotham City has been in chaos because of the "undiscriminatory fighting competition" between two groups of wizards.
Extremely cold blizzards were blowing everywhere, dazzling fireballs were flying across the sky, and magical creatures were released, howling and screaming as they flew over the city.
It was like a chaotic yet vibrant performance.
The traffic jam made Harry so angry that she kept honking the horn and cursing the wizards for not doing their job, but she was sure that these bastards would be punished soon.
Look at what a mess they're making in Gotham!
At first glance, he is a brainless outsider, but this is Batman’s cesspool!
Ha, you're asking for a beating.
After spending nearly thirty minutes getting back to Crime Alley, swearing and yelling like a road rage veteran, Harley jumped out of the battered car.
Although we mourn for the car owner, this is actually not a big problem.
The Bat
But what really made Harley sad was that the Cooper store in front of her had become a pile of ruins. This place where she had lived for almost a month and which held many beautiful memories was destroyed.
"Mr. K is in danger, Ivy is gone, the home is gone, and it's gone again..."
With red eyes, Harry squatted on the ground and picked up the shop sign that was distorted by magic.
She felt so upset that she wanted to cry, but soon a surge of anger surged in her heart, forcing her to grit her teeth and walk barefoot into the ruins in front of her. She used her gravity ring to clear the way and pushed open the door of the basement with difficulty.
According to Ivy's previous description, she quickly found the place where Mason hid the potion and dragged the alchemy box out of the ground. However, it was locked and required a seven-digit password to open.
Harry blinked, then tilted his head to think for a moment, then entered a line of numbers into it.
With a "click", the box popped open.
"Cool! That's it! Mr. K said that day when he got rid of his past and lived again. He only said it once, but I remembered it. I remember all the information related to Mr. K."
The neurotic girl squatted beside a box filled with various medicines. She first obediently took out a bottle of demulcent and drank it. It is very important to take medicine on time!
She then threw the bottle aside and searched for healing potion in it to heal her own injuries.
Finally, she picked up a bottle of ghost green potion.
This thing is different from other things. It is not in a crystal bottle, but is placed in a sealed injection tube. You can use it as long as you find a syringe.
Mason put a label on it, labeling it "Unverified temporary reinforcement, leads to confusion, dangerous."
"Hmm? Confused?"
Harry blinked, touched his head, then shrugged, found a syringe, and injected the stuff into his veins without hesitation or pressure.
In less than ten seconds, she felt a force exploding in her body.
It seems like I have become omnipotent all of a sudden!
She hummed happily, touched her bulging biceps, found a bag and packed the potion in the box and took it away. This was Mr. K's treasure and she would never leave it to anyone else.
She dug out a red leather jacket from her smashed closet and put it on. This was the "clown costume" she bought for herself last Halloween at the suggestion of Mr. J.
Even though the store's label is "sex toys"...
"Okay, now I'm strong enough! Time to go save Mr. K!"
She was about to leave, but just as she walked out of the ruins, a sharp voice rang in her mind, screaming at her:
"No, stupid Harley, you are unarmed, you have to go to Mr. J's secret base in the city first... Remember? Mr. J told us the exact location when we played a nasty guessing game?
There are a lot of weird exploding gadgets of Mr. J there, and I need them to save our lovely Mason..."
"That's my Mason! Not yours! And not 'ours'!"
Harley took out a bottle of medicine, unscrewed the lid, and then held her head and screamed:
"And who are you? Get out of my head! Otherwise I will drink this bottle of poison and we will all die together. I will not let anyone control my brain anymore."
"Idiot! I am you, the second you! That bottle of magic potion finally freed me from your bondage and suppression, stupid Harley."
The sharp voice echoed in Harley's mind, and she cheered:
"Mr. J gave birth to me, but that guy is dead. Mason Cooper, who fascinated you, is just so-so in my opinion, but he is also qualified as a little cutie.
Halle, you need my help.
I am smarter than you! More cunning than you! More evil than you! If you want to help him, you have to accept me first."
“Oh my god!”
Harry squatted on the ground, covering his face, and said in despair:
"When Mason said I might have schizophrenia, I thought he was joking. I should have gotten psychological intervention earlier. I knew that there would be no benefit if I put it off for too long.
But you're right.
Sweet little Mason needs help, and sweet Harley needs to save him, but first I have to give you a name... I'm Harley, and you're Quinn, is that okay?"
"Just fine, now get in the car!"
Quinn shouted like a commander in Harley's mind:
"Go to Zhou Ke'er's secret base first and arm yourself. We need bombs! Lots and lots of bombs! Move on, Harley, pick up your baseball bat and knock the heads off every idiot who gets in your way.
We want to make Mr. K our own, preferably with a little tag... If you can't do that, I don't mind coming in person."
——
"Uh, what's with this sudden chill? It's like being stared at by something scary."
Mason, who appeared under the Iceberg Bar at this moment, shuddered suddenly. Although he was unharmed, he moved his body uncomfortably, looked around suspiciously, and then walked into the dark building in front of him.
Ten seconds after the wizard war began, Mason ran out of the battle zone.
Wearing an invisibility cloak, he used the golden apple to interfere with the wizards' thinking, and at the same time drank a bottle of speed potion, and quickly passed through Crime Alley.
When Doctor Fate launched the reality rewrite, he had already rushed three blocks away and was not affected at all.
You can't say that Mason's behavior was unethical, mainly because with his current combat power, he was facing Doctor Fate's group plus the elite of two rebellious magic academies... Tsk, he was indeed at a slight disadvantage.
Besides, Mason wasn't just trying to escape.
He also needs to attract attention in Gotham to buy time for Team K's "smuggling" operation. If he is caught at the first sight, how can he have time to delay?
As for provoking the wizard war, Mason did not feel too much guilt.
After all, he had already "paid". The small fragment of the Philosopher's Stone that fell into Doctor Fate's hands was priceless, enough to hire these heroes to cause trouble in Gotham for a long time.
Moreover, this is a truly just cause of "expelling foreign enemies and defending the country". Logically, shouldn't they face it head-on even if they are not paid?
But Mason's escape didn't last long.
To be precise, he was discovered as soon as he entered the Iceberg Bar. The Justice League had obviously entered Gotham with the wizards and took action. They had made arrangements in advance in Mason's stronghold.
As soon as the young man stepped in, he felt a strange vibration. Some kind of slight resonant energy surrounded the bar like an invisible "spider web".
"It's a sound! Should it be some kind of shock wave field?"
The Sorting Hat on his head immediately reminded him:
"The invisibility cloak cannot hide for long in this high-tech environment. It will interfere with the magic. Be prepared, Mason. There are at least three life forms active here, all of which are beyond ordinary people."
"I knew it wouldn't go so smoothly."
The young man breathed a sigh of relief.
He pulled out his precision rifle from behind and attached an engineering silencer to the muzzle. He then quickly walked up the stairs while continuously releasing small Griffin drones to interfere with the invisible shock wave field.
When no one showed up when he approached the top floor, Mason squinted his eyes.
He quickly activated the EMP shock of the Griffin military drones scattered around. More than thirty drones were activated at the same time, instantly shattering the energy field used for reconnaissance.
Just as he launched the attack, a shrill scream came from above his head.
It was as if there was some strange guy cooperating with him.
Almost in an instant, Mason raised the gun and pulled the trigger. The aiming frame appeared in front of him and locked. The buzzing sound of charging echoed in the barrel of the Widowmaker. A second later, two bullets that were charged to the extreme were fired out of the muzzle, easily piercing through a floor, making two holes and hitting the guy who was moving quickly above.
For the combination of technological rifles and kinetic bullets, all normal walls in the world are as brittle as paper within their effective range.
This unethical kinetic bullet also has the ability to "ricochet". When triggered by a special shooting method, it can make the bullet carrying huge impact force change direction after the first impact to achieve accurate sniping.
Normally, special eye and hand prostheses are needed to calculate and capture the trajectory in advance.
But for Mason, who has combat assistance, he does not need to implant special components in his eyes and hands to accurately calculate the trajectory.
"Shockwave is injured! Repeat! Shockwave is injured!"
In the smoke of the area above Mason's head, a cool blonde heroine wearing a black leather jacket and a strange "collar decoration" around her neck dragged a young man with a pencil stuck in his chest and retreated further away. While enduring the attack of the black shadow in front of her, she shouted in her communication:
"The target appeared in the Iceberg Bar, holding dangerous weapons! There are two targets! Here..."
"Bang"
Another kinetic energy bullet shot through the floor, brushed past the woman's body and flew to the ceiling, where it ricocheted once and jumped back, hitting her wrist.
However, for these superheroes, a bulletproof suit is almost standard equipment. The bullet with attenuated kinetic energy did not hurt the woman but made her aware of the danger.
She carried her injured companion on her back and quickly retreated, calling out:
"Oliver! We need backup here! Quick!"
"Oliver? Green Arrow?"
Mason, who possessed the Isu's super senses, accurately caught the other party's whispered conversation in the chaos, and he immediately realized who was ambushing him.
This is a model couple going out together, huh?
"The eighth giant of the Justice League and his cute little Black Canary..."
Mason licked his lips, moving silently in the darkness and replacing the magazine with a less-lethal bullet.
He was eager to try. His shooting skills had been stuck at Level 4 for a long time. Maybe he could learn something from Green Arrow tonight? But who was the guy beating up Black Canary upstairs?
John Wick?
Why would a guy who has been disappearing mysteriously since arriving in Gotham want to get involved in this mess? Did these guys hurt his dog? Well, we can only mourn for them.
