Volume 4: The Last Day Chapter 39: A despicable two-on-one fight? Where is your martial virtue?
The pitch-black Iceberg Bar had obviously lost its power supply. After Charles was arrested, this once popular place was closed for a few days.
Mason mourned its fate tonight. This poor place would probably be demolished again because of him.
But it doesn't matter.
Kite Man had the foresight to buy a huge amount of "superhero accident insurance" for the bar. This type of insurance, unique to Gotham City, would compensate buildings destroyed in superhero wars with a huge amount of money, enough to renovate the place several times.
To be honest, if Mason didn't know the situation, he would have the same idea as the insurance company... After being destroyed so many times in a short period of time, is this Kite Man committing insurance fraud?
Or is it that the feng shui of this place is really not good?
At least Charles's reputation cannot suppress the evil spirit in this place.
At this moment, the female hero Black Canary above Mason's head is transferring the wounded, but with the "Eagle Eye" perception brought by Mason's Isu bloodline, every move in the entire dark building can be sensed by him as accurately as a sonar radar.
He can even concentrate to make the target in his perception appear "highlighted", so that Mason can accurately capture the target without the need for a floating aiming frame for combat assistance.
It's as outrageous as turning on a "full map cheat".
"Once you're targeted at this distance, you can't run away."
Mason smiled silently in the darkness.
He did not fire his gun again to help because the agile woman was already in trouble.
John Wick, dressed in a black suit, is hunting her down. This assassin saint from another world obviously takes this woman seriously as an equal opponent.
He held guns in both hands and chased and fought with Black Canary in the area on the third floor. The other guy who was attacked by him stealthily with a pencil was now unconscious.
But this superhero from Star City near Gotham is very powerful, and her skills are even more dangerous than her unenhanced sister Catwoman.
He is a superhuman with super powers, much more impressive than a certain bat boy.
Very difficult to deal with.
However, in addition to her own excellent skills, a large part of Ms. Black Canary's deterrence comes from her dangerous boyfriend.
Just like Catwoman would ask the old man to save the situation when she couldn't defeat the enemy, the cool woman Black Canary has been tied to another playboy and cool man for many years.
"Green Arrow must be nearby, and I don't know how many superheroes they have sent to lurk in Gotham during this short period of time."
Mason quickly rushed up the stairs and put the ineffective invisibility cloak back into his bag. He said to the Sorting Hat:
"Use some powerful magic, Hat, I need a 'bird cage' to trap them."
"You should practice your tailoring skills and sew me better and more beautifully so that I can recover more magic. I can hardly use advanced magic in my current undignified state."
The Sorting Hat complained.
The next moment, a circle of blue light arcs descended around Mason and soon enveloped the entire building, isolating it from all conventional detection while also setting up an "energy circle".
"It's done. The elemental maze lock draws the magic power from underground to form a trap. If the people inside try to leave by force, it will cause an explosion, but people outside will not be affected."
The Sorting Hat reminds:
"It can only last ten minutes. Get it over with as soon as possible."
“That’s enough!”
Mason kicked open the stair door in front of him, raised his tech rifle and shot forward.
Although there was a whole wall in front of him, relying on this technological rifle modified by Isu technology, which could charge super quickly and had its own "wall-penetrating function" and Wick's sharp offensive, Black Canary, who was more than 50 meters away from him and at least two walls away, almost instantly fell into the terrible situation of "being a target".
"Hey, pretty! How much money did they pay you to be a hero?"
In between shots, Mason gestured to John Wick to retreat, and then he shouted angrily:
"Did Batman pay your funeral expenses in advance? You pathetic woman, do you still expect anyone to come and save you?"
No one answered him.
The walls were constantly shot through and dust flew everywhere. Black Canary was suppressed into the corner by the accurate shooting. When she realized that the farther she was from Mason, the more dangerous she was, the cool heroine decisively adopted a close combat strategy.
After using some kind of superpower-like sonic waves to instantly repel Wick who was approaching silently, this female hero, who was as charming as her sister Catwoman, rushed over the obstacles at lightning speed towards Mason who was loading bullets.
"Bang"
A low gunshot sounded behind her. The assassin saint from another world obviously had no psychological pressure about shooting from behind.
The moment the accurate and deadly Mozambique shooting interrupted Black Canary's attack, this guy pounced forward like a lone wolf, knocked the heroine to the ground in a few moves, and then retreated.
The bottle with the sticky liquid fell at her feet, and the splashing petrifying potion quickly petrified her, who was covered in dirt and dust, into a "beautiful sculpture" that maintained the action of punching and punching.
Mason, with malicious intent and calmness, raised the reloaded tech rifle and made a shooting motion, even simulating the sound of an explosion with his mouth.
But the trigger wasn't actually pulled.
This kind of hero with a "backstage" is the most troublesome.
Killing one will attract the whole bunch. Although the Green Arrow family is not as despairing as the Bat family, they are the type of people who should be avoided if possible in this world.
"That person lying over there is Shockwave, a supportive third-tier hero from Central City and the Flash's henchman."
Mason glanced ahead and saw a short young man lying beside a wall that was beaten like a hornet's nest, his life or death unknown. The shock wave field that covered the building for reconnaissance was his "masterpiece".
"So, is Flash here too? No, probably not yet, otherwise I would have been knocked down by the Sonic Punch."
His mind raced as he tried to figure out the current situation. He saw John Wick walking towards him, straightening his clothes. Mason took out a spare kinetic pistol and several magazines from his bag and threw them to him.
He said:
"Are they blocking this place to catch you? Is your dog okay?"
"fine."
The assassin saint, who is ruthless and taciturn, held the new weapon in his hand, bent down to pick up the two multi-functional fighting sticks dropped by Black Canary and inserted them on his lower back.
He glanced at the armed Mason and said:
"You are the one who caused this big scene?"
"Well, there's no time to explain too much."
Mason waved his hands and said:
"You go first and hide. Someone will contact you later."
"I'm not here as your guest."
John Wick looked around and whispered:
"Can you do it alone?"
"I don't need any help for now, so don't get involved in tonight's events."
Mason warned:
"Your identity is very important, you must not reveal it."
"Um."
Wick stopped arguing. He held out his hand to Mason and said:
"The whole city is under surveillance. If I want to leave here, I need guns! Lots of guns."
"for you."
Mason never lacked weapons, and he handed his own weapons box to the assassin saint. It contained everything from daggers for assaults to technical rifles for long-range sniping, as well as ten engineering grenades with different functions.
Wick picked up the weapons box and retreated into the darkness. Before leaving, he said to Mason:
"I have been traveling around your city for a while now, and I have to say, Mason, the corruption of this city has really opened my eyes. I now doubt whether forming an alliance with you is a good choice.
After all, whether in the Assassin's Brotherhood or in the Templar's doctrine, Gotham is a "place of chaos" that must be destroyed.
Maybe we should talk sometime.”
"There will be someone special to talk to you, Wick. They are much more professional than me."
Mason shrugged and said quietly:
"Also, welcome to Gotham."
In response to him, there was a laugh in the darkness, and after leaving the room, John Wick's presence completely disappeared. It was obvious that the assassin saint was ready to "get serious".
Whether you can win or not is one thing.
But this top killer from the world of assassins is determined to leave, and it is estimated that no one in this city can stop him.
Mason doesn't have to worry about John Wick; he has plenty more to worry about.
He walked forward and was about to take the equipment from Black Canary to get some "Green Arrow Technology" for free, when he was suddenly struck by two sounds of breaking wind behind him.
A breath of life broke into Mason's eagle eye perception. He turned around and raised his hand in the gap, and an arc of electricity popped out from the tiger-eye stone ring on his left hand.
The activation of the gravity gun caused the gravity field to be unbalanced, causing the two arrows shot at him from behind to lose their accuracy in the air and hit the wall beside him with two bangs.
The real master is here!
“Ding ding ding”
A rapid electronic sound rang out from the arrow that was inserted into the wall, and Mason's heart was like lightning as his Isu senses were stimulated, causing him to roll backwards and lie on the ground in the nick of time.
With a loud bang, the two walls were blown apart.
The young man, who was not injured but covered in dust and dirt, grabbed his rifle and retreated to the rear, while activating several military drones he had left downstairs.
But as soon as they took off, they were accurately blasted in the air by Green Arrow, who came to rescue his lover. Then the coquettish man in green rushed into the top floor with a grappling hook amid flames.
As a seasoned hunter, the "Eighth Giant" of the Justice League, and one of the old man's close comrades and "common trump cards", the darkness here can't stop Green Arrow from hunting.
He moved quickly like a ghost in the darkness, and first confirmed that Black Canary was only petrified and not in danger of life, and that Shockwave was just unconscious, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that this little guy doesn't want to kill anyone?"
Green Arrow thought to himself as he was searching for his target in the dark, but then a gunshot made him lower his head suddenly, and the flying bullet grazed his green hood. The strange bullet also bounced on the wall behind him and almost hit his leg.
This is a sharpshooter!
He wants to compete with me in archery?
Tsk, that's an idea.
Oliver Queen, startled, immediately drew three arrows from the quiver behind him while lying down, put them on the bow, rolled over and shot the three arrows in different directions.
The arrow was nailed into the wall and the device on it was activated.
Based on the principle of triangulation positioning, the terrain in the dark is instantly summarized in the Green Arrow's domino goggles, which look simple but actually have extremely high technological content.
The rapidly moving red dot is the target.
For Oliver Queen, who has superb shooting skills, hitting this moving target is as easy as piercing an apple with a toothpick with his eyes closed.
He began to run in the darkness, constantly looking for cover to avoid bullets while drawing his bow and shooting arrows. Several consecutive accurate arrows forced the opponent into a blind spot, and then a heavy-looking arrow was shot in advance towards the target's dodging position.
Almost at the moment when the latter hid in the blind spot, the "added" arrow came towards him and exploded in the air. The violent and rapid shock wave hit the spot like a heavy punch, knocking the target off balance.
Green Arrow sneered, changing direction and rushing forward in a zigzag pattern while continuously shooting interference arrows and binding arrows.
The seemingly ordinary archery skill was turned into something extraordinary in his hands. The target in the dark dodged awkwardly but was hit in the head from behind by a deflected arrow that circled in the air.
But there was no blood.
Because the tip of the arrow was not the arrow head, but a boxing glove that popped out at high speed...
Ha, the most famous "stun arrow" in all the stories about Green Arrow. It looks funny but it is a "secret weapon" that only a super shooter like him can wield.
Although it looks very, very funny, this thing's ability to stun people is no joke.
After this attack, Mason fell to the ground in the dark with a thud and became motionless, and the rifle in his hand was thrown aside.
"Target capture completed."
Green Arrow heaved a sigh of relief, picked up his bow and stepped forward while informing other teammates in the city through the comms. But just as he approached the unconscious target, the latter suddenly rolled over, and three alien-shaped darts shot towards Green Arrow at close range like foraging venomous snakes, so fast and so quick that they even exceeded the speed of sound at the moment of the shot.
With a "bang", Green Arrow's suit blocked the dart but was knocked back and lost his balance, and he lost sight of the target in a flash.
The latter flashed behind him with an incredibly fast movement as if time had been accelerated and punched him in the neck.
In the next few seconds, Green Arrow was like a sandbag and was hit in various ways by his opponent. He couldn't catch any trace of his opponent at all. The latter was as fast as the Flash in attacking form.
This is totally unscientific!
There was no description in the mission information about Mason possessing "super speed", or even worse, the truth was that the man who was hammering him was not Mason Cooper at all.
But Green Arrow pulled through.
When the latter's speed slowed down when he was beaten black and blue, Green Arrow gritted his teeth, threw down a smoke bomb, threw away his bow while retreating, drew two short blades from his waist and prepared for close combat.
But at this moment...
"Bang"
A low gunshot pierced the noise of the darkness, and then pain broke out in Oliver Queen's left leg, but along with the pain came a numbness that spread throughout his body.
He fell to the ground a second later as if he had been poisoned, his whole body twitching as he tried his best to look back at the attacker.
Then he saw Mason walking out in the dim light of the darkness with a heavy, futuristic-style kinetic sniper rifle of astonishingly large caliber in his hand.
"Without the ' wife gun', there is really no way to penetrate your battle suit. Although your leg bone is broken, don't worry. I believe your incredible companions will always be able to heal you."
Mason pulled the bolt and ejected a thumb-thick shell.
The strange structure of that thing clearly shows that it is not a bullet from this era.
But what puzzled Oliver the most was that if the person who shot him was Mason, then who was the tough marksman who had been fighting with him just now?
"The combination of the Sian Westin operating system and the Korenchikov neural accelerator's 'time-stop tactics' is still so unstoppable. Look at you, with the help of the military prosthesis, you can even beat Green Arrow."
Mason put the kinetic sniper rifle "Overwatch" into his bag and asked the silent "stand-in" beside him:
"How does it feel to be alive?"
"Not so good!"
A hoarse and sinister voice sounded in the darkness, like a venomous snake that was very unhappy because its foraging was interrupted. The man picked up Green Arrow's quiver and bow and carried them on his back like trophies, saying:
"You don't allow me to kill people, which makes me feel like a dog with a muzzle. You'd better keep an eye on me, Mason. You know, even if it's just a toothpick, I can..."
"Come on, Bullseye."
Mason said to the "bodyguard" he released during his previous dodge:
"You know that the reason you can still move and think is because there is a chip in your brain. That thing is maintaining your severely damaged brain, and its operation is tied to me.
If I die, you will die too.
I know you're upset, but life is just that cruel.
Come on, my dear friend, there are still many people in this city who want to catch me and are waiting for you to punish them. "
After saying that, Mason glanced at Green Arrow who was still struggling at his feet.
He squatted down and ejected a needle that pierced Oliver Queen's neck. As he felt drowsy, the Green Arrow heard the young man say to him in the dark:
"Your performance just now was amazing. I couldn't help but applaud you even though I was hiding in the dark. If you didn't want to capture me alive, you would have had at least four chances to kill my stand-in.
Alas, my team is already full, otherwise I would definitely recruit you and your hot girlfriend.
But unfortunately, your performance tonight ends here.
Batman's 'anti-Mason strategy' has failed!"
At the moment when Green Arrow closed his eyes and fell unconscious, Mason took out the needle, plucked out a hair of Green Arrow, dropped it into the test tube in his hand, shook it well, and then drank the liquid in one gulp.
A few seconds later, he coughed twice, picked up Green Arrow's communicator, and said to the full band in the same voice as Oliver:
"Mason Cooper has been rescued by his wizard allies! They are armed with weird weapons that can destroy Gotham and the East Coast! All of them!
Immediately chase after those wizards who are crossing the border, they must be stopped!
At any cost! "
——
"Shua"
A flash of red lightning flew across the waterfall into the Batcave, and Shazam Superman hovered in the messy cave in a cool posture.
When he saw this scene, he realized that something was wrong.
But before he could call his companions, he heard a terrified scream coming from the chaotic place.
Is it a woman?
Shazam flashed over, and deftly moved a few collapsed stone slabs and pulled Catwoman out. Selina was wearing pajamas and looked terrified.
She said to Shazam:
"They just rushed in like that, my housekeeper was knocked unconscious, I wanted to call for backup but... it was horrible, it was all horrible."
"Ah, you're Batman's legendary lover!"
Shazam whistled and tried hard to make himself look like someone worthy of trust. Young people who are in a restless period always want to show off in front of a mature and beautiful big sister like Selena.
But he is an innocent boy after all.
She quickly turned her head with a red face, pointed to her chest to indicate that the button of Catwoman's pajamas had fallen off, and asked her to cover it up quickly.
So big, no, so white... uh, something's not right.
In short, it's not decent!
Hey, I'm still a child!
"Well, what a lovely and polite child. I must praise your good deeds to Batman."
Catwoman narrowed her eyes and looked at Shazam, who turned his head and exposed all his weaknesses. The shadow behind her suddenly lengthened when the black "armor" was added. She whispered:
"But sweetie, why don't you look back?"
