The track of dawn in the world of American manga

Chapter 107 59. Mason’s K Team·The Second Acceptance Day——[4250]

Ten o'clock in the evening, the top floor office of Bingshan Bar.

Wearing the "Gray Cat" suit, Selina walked in with elegant and charming steps and immediately saw the office filled with candles and Mason, who was sitting on the office chair loading bullets from the magazine.

If the magazine in the young man's hand were replaced with a glass of red wine, the atmosphere of the "candlelight dinner" in front of him would be almost perfect.

In front of the luxurious floor-to-ceiling windows, the heavily armed Kite Man was standing there, looking at the Gotham night that had returned to the lights of the city.

It is hard to imagine that this chaotic city that came to life under the night had just encountered a "doomsday crisis" three days ago. The city was in ruins like cockroaches in the sewer.

The vitality is truly amazing.

"It's not powered on yet?"

Catwoman pouted and said:

"Do you need to be so careful? Bruce's tracking and monitoring of you has been reduced to a minimum, and now he is busy 'cultivating a relationship' with his cheap son."

"It's not about being careful, Selena."

The kite man sighed and said:

"When Mr. Sandstorm and Green Arrow were fighting, the entire power grid system of the bar was blown up. At least three EMPs fell here. The renovation cost a lot of money, and the opening will be delayed again.

But it's okay.

I applied for repair compensation from the Batman Urban Restoration Fund, and I shouldn’t lose too much.”

"I see."

Catwoman yawned, fell on the sofa as if she had no bones, waved her hands and complained:

"Then let's go quickly, I can't wait to take a long vacation for myself, sailing in the Caribbean and enjoying life.

You all have no idea how troublesome that little lunatic is, and I foolishly thought I could be a better mother than Thalia.

It turns out I wanted to be simple.”

She whispered:

"Now I want to strangle that little bastard! He actually put poison in my cosmetics, which almost disfigured my face. Speaking of which, Mason, when will the 'beauty potion' you promised be made?

Sister, I am still in this fatal team just because of this promise, the magic potion that can restore my skin to a perfect pink color, which is what all women desire."

"There are a lot of things on hand now."

Mason pressed the last-minute cursed bullet into the magazine and threw it to the Kite Man. Then he stood up and looked at the time and said:

"Wait until you come back this time.

I will make a batch of it as a commodity before the trade fair of the Star Club starts, and I will ask you to be the tester after it is finished. Wait a few minutes, we have a new team member on the way."

"Hey, little Mason tricked a newcomer into coming here again?"

Catwoman immediately became energetic and said with burning eyes:

"Which unlucky guy was pulled into the K-Team? Let me guess, Jason Todd? When Bruce told me that Jason left Gotham, I knew it was you who was behind it.

I've experienced the same thing once."

"It's Jason, but not quite."

Mason handed the folded invisibility cloak to Catwoman, then picked up his penguin umbrella and said:

"She'll be here soon."

"Bang"

A knock on the door sounded at this moment.

Catwoman turned around and saw a tall girl wearing sportswear, a mask and black-rimmed glasses, covering her cheeks, pushing the door open and panting.

It looked like she ran all the way here.

Sweat beaded on his forehead, and his whole body exuded a sense of exhaustion after strenuous exercise, but corresponding to this sense of exhaustion was a kind of excitement and excitement from deep in his heart.

"I'm not late, am I?"

She gasped and said something, then took off her mask and put down the hood of her sportswear under Catwoman's surprised gaze, revealing her long fiery red hair.

"Barbara?"

Selina exclaimed, and Barbara was also startled.

Mainly because Catwoman was wearing an invisibility cloak and she couldn't see a lazy beautiful woman lying on the sofa.

"Selena? Are you there too?"

After Catwoman pulled back the hood of the invisibility cloak, Barbara froze on the spot.

She glanced at Mason who was smiling at her in the candlelight with a "that's it" look, shook her head, stood there and moved her legs and waist again, and said:

"Thanks to your magic potion, I feel like I'm recovering well. Jogging all the way here makes me feel like I'm alive again."

"It's just an illusion."

Mason looked at Barbara up and down with the eyes of a professional alchemist, and after a few seconds, said:

"You have been sitting in a wheelchair for several years. Although you have taken good care of it, muscle atrophy and changes in movement patterns cannot be recovered overnight.

I will give you a lot of recovery potions in the next half month.

You have to take your medicine on time, and Selena will accompany you to complete your recovery.

Charles!”

The captain of Team K whispered something, and the Kite Man next to him immediately handed a black "gift box" to Barbara. The latter showed a smile under his V-shaped iron mask and said:

"This is a recovery gift from Team K to you, Miss Barbara."

"Was your joining ceremony so warm? It almost made me think you were all good people."

The former Batgirl curled her lips, reached out to take the gift box, and opened the bow tie on it.

In the box under the lid is a black, gray and yellow Batsuit, which also comes with a beautiful lady's cape and a helmet that exposes the eyes and lower half of the face like Catwoman's mask.

and appropriate goggles and respirators.

Next to this suit, there is a V-shaped multifunctional combat belt and various combat accessories, a combinable bat fighting stick, a batarang with a rope, two bat knives and two engineering equipment for close quarters.

gun.

"Go put it on."

Mason held the penguin umbrella with both hands and said to Barbara who stretched out her hand to touch the suit in front of her:

"Although tonight's action is just a fulfillment of the contract with our 'partners', since it is a career that you choose and love, you still have to dress up to have a sense of ceremony.

I got your physical data from Grayson. It may not be accurate, but it shouldn’t be inappropriate.”

"Mason, I have one last question."

Barbara turned to look at her captain, she pursed her lips and asked:

"Maybe this question is stupid, but I still have to ask, are we good people or bad people?"

"It depends on how you understand it."

Mason shrugged and said:

"I never like to tell other people the answers to questions directly. I like to let them see with their own eyes. In addition, I like the word 'we' very much."

"We are going to bring life-saving medicine to millions of poor people tonight to save their endangered civilization."

The kite man next to Mason put his hands on his hips and said:

"I don't think our style of work has anything to do with bad guys. Of course, if we look at the Bat Family's no-kill rule, the boss and I are already executioners with our hands stained with blood."

"If you have the monitor and locator that Bruce gave you, I advise you to destroy them when you change your clothes."

Catwoman put her hand on Barbara's shoulder and whispered softly:

"Little Mason is not a captain who will be deceived, and do not challenge his sharp-edged kindness."

"I'm no longer with the Bat Family."

Barbara said to Catwoman:

"At least I'm not one of them now. I think a quiet period of time might allow me to find the answer again. Don't you blame me? Selina, I almost killed Bruce."

"There are so many people who want to kill him. If I hate every one of them, I won't have to do anything else for the rest of my life."

Catwoman yawned charmingly, curled her lips and said:

"Bruce is an adult and he's capable of handling his own grief, so why should I? Also, girl, start doing yoga tonight.

Look how bloated your butt and thighs are!

If you continue like this, your boyfriend will be snatched away from you by other sexy bitches, and you don’t want to happen to that, right?"

"I will."

Barbara blushed and walked into the changing room of the office.

A few minutes later, she walked out wearing a full Batgirl suit. Under the full armor, her red hair was still swaying behind the helmet, like a flame dancing in the dark.

However, the bat logo on the suit has been replaced with a very artistic K symbol, which is quite consistent with the suits of Kite Man and Catwoman.

"Isn't John coming?"

As Mason turned the handle of the door to the world, Catwoman, wearing an invisibility cloak, asked:

"He just saved the world. With his character, he should be eager to jump out and show off."

"Zha Kang has his own troubles, and it's most likely a peach blossom disaster."

When this was mentioned, Mason's face dropped and he said:

"Zatanna came to him last night and said that there was something important for Kang to go back to the Mystery House. I have already informed John, and he said that he would come back to join us after studying the safe use of the curse.

The ritual for you two to draw power from the curse will also begin at that time, but I have discussed this topic with Mr. Sandstorm, and from him I know that gaining these powers seems to come at a price.

So it’s up to you whether you want to use it or not, I won’t force you.”

"Pa"

The door to the world opens in the next moment.

With the click of the brass handle, a door to another world was slowly pushed open. The other three were already used to it, but Barbara, who was participating in the action for the first time, had her eyes widened.

The rotating light curtain in front of her made her feel that Mason was hiding deeply, and as she watched the three people walking into it one after another, Barbara hesitated for a moment, and finally took a deep breath and followed them in.

Her figure was swallowed up by the rotating light curtain, and then the door to the world automatically closed with a bang.

A few minutes later, a figure appeared on the top floor of the Iceberg Bar.

Batman emerged from the shadows and looked seriously at the empty office in front of him.

He activated a special imaging mode of the Bat Helmet, but could not find any valuable traces. There were no footprints, breath or anything else, except for the extinguished candles.

The old man frowned.

He groped for the wall and quickly opened the compartment. He saw a row of bat suits and combat accessories displayed on the wall but turned a blind eye to them.

After all, he had already acquiesced that Mason's taking away his laboratory was an act of "exchange."

But the door to the world is clearly embedded in the wall in front of me, but in my eyes I can only see an empty wall.

Obviously.

The cautious Mason also "disguised" the door.

Relying on Zha Kang's magic, it can completely "disappear" in the eyes of ordinary people. Although Batman is almost omnipotent, he is indeed an ordinary person.

The master who found nothing shook his head and left along the way he came, erasing all traces. The moment he stepped into the Bat fighter, he connected the communication and said to the anxious old man over there:

"I lost track of you, Gordon.

Barbara disappeared into the city, and Mason should have arranged for someone to pick her up. But I don’t think you need to worry too much. She left a letter and explained her thoughts.

Give that kid some time.

I believe she will eventually come back to us."

——

"Wow!"

Barbara pushed open the door of the simple bamboo building in front of her.

What comes into view is the view of the Caribbean Sea at noon. The warm sunshine shines on the beach, making the newly bustling pier look very chaotic and prosperous.

The bay in front of us was already filled with all kinds of boats.

During the six days that Team K left Turtle Island, there was no doubt that a lot of things happened here.

"The wizard is back!"

Seeing Catwoman, wearing an invisibility cloak as a cloak, reappear next to the bamboo building, a group of working people under the simple two-story bamboo building immediately cheered.

Many women and children came over and knelt down sincerely in a "pilgrimage" manner, as if they were kneeling to worship a true saint.

Team K is used to this scene.

The news that they have "miraculous medicine" in their hands has already spread throughout this sea area, and is regarded as the last savior by many helpless and desperate people.

But this was the first time Barbara saw such a scene, and she was immediately stunned.

"We will return here before the seventh day as promised, and declare to the world that we have brought hope to it and to you!"

Lady Catwoman waved her hand and declared very confidently:

"Where are my mate and my boatswain? Let them come to me, and then salvation will come to you. Now do whatever you have to do!"

The women and children who had been rescued by Team K immediately dispersed respectfully, and a few minutes later, Angelina Teach, who received the news, quickly came to the bamboo house with her "male favorite".

Judging from the disheveled appearance of her and Captain Jack, you can tell what they were doing before.

"Ms. Selina, we have fulfilled your and Master Mason's requests.

Elizabeth Swann and Henry Turner Jr. are both aboard the Black Pearl. During your absence, seventeen warehouses have been filled with all kinds of property we collected!"

The female pirate stepped forward and reported respectfully:

"Our partners are very anxious. They have sent special personnel to wait on the island. I have already sent people to notify them."

"very good."

Catwoman nodded with satisfaction, then glared at Captain Jack Sparrow who was secretly spying on her and Barbara, and said:

"Then tell them that the delivery ceremony will be held on the deck of the Black Pearl. Turtle Island is too noisy. Give them three hours to prepare gifts representing sincerity and the first batch of transaction goods.

You also hurry up and pack up that ship.

By the way, prepare some hot water for me and my assistant, we are going to take a shower after the transaction."

"Jack! Come in!"

Mason's voice came from the bamboo house, making the bohemian Captain Jack curl his lips.

His contact with Mason was limited to the previous conversation on Barbossa's ship and the parting conversation on the beach, but the big pirate's instinct told Captain Jack that Mason, the young wizard, was a bastard who was not easy to deal with.

But the magical compass in his hand has clearly told him that Mason and his team are Captain Jack's only hope to escape the doomsday, so Jack has to choose to hibernate.

And now the most romantic and legendary pirate in the Caribbean knows that this conversation with Mason will be a moment of complete showdown.

"Well, this beautiful girl is probably coming to our place for the first time. Look at the curious light in your eyes, she looks like a tender little pink lamb."

While tidying up his iconic pirate dreadlocks, Jack showed his gold teeth and smiled at Barbara Gordon. Then, like magic, he flipped his fingers and pulled out an extremely luxurious sapphire ring and handed it to Barbara.

La, said:

"Just think of this as a meeting gift from this sea of ​​plunder to you, lovely girl, you are different from these guys who exude a mysterious aura.

I can feel that you are a truly kind person.

Maybe we can get together tonight."

"Click"

The sound of the engineering gun opening the safety sounded from behind Captain Jack.

The expressionless female pirate Angelina pointed her gun at the man who had been in close contact with her ten minutes ago, but the great Captain Jack Sparrow would do this.

He smiled without any embarrassment, showed a charming farewell smile to Barbara in a graceful manner and opened the door.

As a result, at a glance, he saw the kite man dragging a muscular man who was tied up and wearing only shorts from the suitcase.

Then he saw Mason who was busy in front of the alchemy table and said to him without looking back:

"Jack, my intelligence officer and minion commander.

Now I want to give you a task, take my new team member Jason Todd around Turtle Island, serve as his guide and answer all his questions.

If he wants to run, don't stop him.

If he wants to kill someone, let him do it.

Of course, if you can successfully bring him back, I will give you what you want most. I promise!"
