Volume 6: Secret Invasion Chapter 2 This world is really not serious
Mason said he wanted to eat, and Harley naturally agreed.
For the next three hours, she and Mr. K's arm went around all the places nearby, big and small, just like a young couple strolling around the city. Finally, they ran into a street-side sushi restaurant carrying a lot of bags.
The taste doesn’t matter, what matters is who you eat it with!
Although Mason was still writing and drawing on napkins trying to complete the final improvement of Superman's medicine even while enjoying the terrible tasting sashimi, Harley had already gotten used to her boyfriend's "quirks".
Instead, she felt that the present time was very warm.
However, warm moments are always easily interrupted. When the third plate of sushi was served, uninvited guests came to visit.
A strange shadow quietly enveloped this street shop. By the time Harry reacted, the sunlight outside the window seemed to be blocked by the curtains, making the entire shop dim.
Those shadows seemed to have life and seeped into the store through the windows and door cracks. The guests who were originally sitting around put down their cutlery and looked straight at Mason and Harley, while the chef who was slicing raw fish in the kitchen came out with a bloody kitchen knife.
The opening of a classic horror movie is like some kind of realistic tribute. An ordinary little girl would have screamed loudly, but can our Harley be an ordinary person?
She bravely picked up her baseball bat and stood up. In the dim land, the Isu inscriptions on the baseball bat also lit up, as if she was waving a curry stick.
"Don't disturb sweetheart!"
Harley waved the "light stick" in her hand to drive away the approaching shadow, and screamed like an exorcist:
"He's almost solved the problem! Hell, that thing has been bothering him all week! Can't you guys have a little sense of public morality?"
The Hand-held Ninjas disguised as guests would naturally not retreat because of Harley's scolding. They grabbed various tools at hand and attacked silently.
The already thick shadows surrounding them fell over them, as if granting them superhuman powers.
However, facing the Isu bat that Harley "unsealed", this little increase is really not enough.
The bat engraved with the inscriptions of [Dispel] and [Burn] would bring with it a purifying energy shock every time it hit someone's head. In the chaotic battlefield that was like a brawl, those Hand ninjas were all knocked down by Harley before they could hold on for even a minute.
Robin, who had been injected with super soldier serum and strengthened by the symbiote, pouted her lips, with an expression of "I can still beat ten more", stretched out her left hand, activated the gravity ring given to her by Sweetie, and threw the ninjas with bloody heads who were beaten out of the gate.
Just as skilled as a housewife taking out the trash.
During the whole process, Mason sat on the chair with his chin propped up, admiring his girlfriend's rage, and at the same time felt that he had done a good job in raising Harley.
At least she was careful not to kill anyone.
But Harley's joy soon turned into sorrow. When she was returning from the shattered store door, the shadow behind her suddenly expanded. Then a black shadow rolled out like a cloak and knocked Harley away after a few brief contacts.
Mason's little cutie screamed and knocked over the cabinet, falling to the ground with disheveled hair. When he got up howling, he saw Mason's hand stretched out in front of him.
Harley grinned, grabbed her sweetheart's hand and jumped up like a lady, then activated her Venom suit and prepared to fight this shameless sneak attacker for a few hundred rounds.
But Mason has taken over the battle.
He knew that the “real boss” had arrived.
The person who merged with the covering shadow in front of him was Lawyer Ma who seemed to be possessed by the devil, but Daredevil's condition was obviously not right at this moment.
His original red battle suit had been dyed black by the shadow, and his eyes under the devil helmet that was sculpted in a rather religious style were burning with a bloody light.
The shadows around him floated and connected to him like a huge cloak, and his appearance alone already gave off the evil aura of a villain.
"I didn't kill Erica."
Mason pushed the frame on his nose and explained:
"She's been replaced. The body of the pretender is in the hands of SHIELD. If you really love her, you should stand by me. Let's kill those Skrull bastards together."
Facing Mason's invitation, Daredevil, who was possessed by the evil god "Beast", did not respond. He just tilted his head and stared at Mason and Harley with his creepy blood-red eyes.
Then, an increasingly ferocious smile appeared on that gloomy face.
After seeing this smile that was so distorted that it was not human, Mason gave up trying to persuade him. This version of Lawyer Ma was begging like crazy, and there was no hope unless the "beast" in him was dispelled first.
"Give me some energy blasts, use that forging thunder hammer in your hand."
The hat gave a timely reminder, and Mason readily took out his lightning-flash hammer from his bag, waved it in his hand, and said to the dark version of Lawyer Ma in front of him:
"I'm going to hit someone on the head with this thing. Can you guess who it is?"
"Whoosh"
Lawyer Ma didn't waste any time and rushed forward as he transformed into a shadow beast.
Mason took a step back and Venom Harley stepped forward to fill the position. The two cooperated perfectly, but just before the enemy met, Mason's Isu perception suddenly sounded an alarm.
He pulled Hari over and pressed her under him, and the Isu Shroud instantly spread out to protect the two of them.
Then, the terrifying firepower destroyed the small shop shrouded in shadow with a covering strike.
More than thirty micro-bombs pierced the shadows and exploded simultaneously, and there were also energy-like weapons piercing and bombarding from high altitudes. The good news was that this wave of attacks was aimed at Lawyer Ma.
The bad news is that the frantic Lawyer Ma is a little close to Mason at this time.
As a result, they were also caught in the heavy fire.
However, the energy matrix of the Isu artifact is still very powerful. Harley had beaten so many people before and had accumulated enough energy to put up a shield to protect her little sweetheart.
When the short bombing ended and Mason and Harley got up, they saw a familiar figure jumping in from the ruins and beating up Lawyer Ma who was stunned by the explosion.
The man was wearing a spider suit.
It is not the classic red outfit, but the upper body is decorated with black. However, the agile figure and flying fighting style make it clear that he is Mason's "old friend".
"It's old Peter!"
Harley cheered:
"A young version of old Peter! That guy really wasn't bragging! He was really good when he was young. Look at him, he's pinning the crazy lawyer Ma to the ground and beating him!
I'm going to take a picture of this and show it to them."
She took out a camera and started taking pictures. The fact was just as the crazy little beauty said. Spider-Man rushed in and forced Lawyer Ma, who was trying to escape by blending into the shadows, out with just a few punches.
Afterwards, a special spider-shaped device was thrown out to form an energy-spattering "barrier" in the surrounding ruins, effectively curbing the coverage of the shadow that followed closely.
It was as if the connection between Lawyer , making it impossible for him to use the power of the shadow to fight.
But even so, Lawyer Ma, who is possessed by the evil spirit, is still a tough opponent.
The "beast" worshipped by the Hand can do more than just manipulate shadows. Its possession gives Daredevil outstanding strength and agility. Combined with Lawyer Marshall's already amazing perception, he quickly stabilizes the situation when facing Spider-Man's attack.
But just like Lawyer Ma in this world is not normal, Spider-Man in this world is obviously not a normal person either. After realizing that he could not win in a head-on battle, he immediately adopted a roundabout tactic.
While jumping out of the melee circle, it scattered small spider-shaped high-tech equipment and activated them the moment Lawyer Ma was chasing him. Terrifying sharp sound waves erupted in an instant.
The piercing sound arc made Harley cover her ears in pain, not to mention Daredevil whose senses were already superhuman?
The latter was suddenly struck into stiffness as if his defense had been broken, with blood spurting out of his ears causing him great pain. Spider-Man shot out spider silk to jump over, crossing his legs and clamping them on Daredevil's neck. Then he spread his hands, and two energy knives jumped out of the wrist device and stabbed towards Lawyer Ma's temple.
This is going to take his life!
"Bang"
The sound of bullets, the precise attack caught before it was fatal.
The flying kinetic bullet hit Spider-Man's energy knife, causing the sharp blade to slide down Lawyer Ma's cheek. Although his face was disfigured, at least he was not killed on the spot.
Mason, with his quick eyes and hands, stuffed a small tube of Pym particles into a device and threw it at Lawyer Ma's feet the moment Spider-Man was knocked back.
It's like the cool moment when a Pokémon Master throws a Master Ball.
When the thing landed at the feet of Daredevil, who was trying to merge into the shadow and escape, a vortex of energy burst out that bound him, then it shrank rapidly and was trapped in the glass cover again.
In the moment when the inside and outside were separated, the shadow power originating from the shadow realm completely dissipated, and the afternoon sun shone again. Mason stepped forward, bent down, and picked up another of his "collections".
In the improved magic bottle, the dark version of Lawyer Ma was banging on the bottle wall like a figurine, trying to escape, but the flashing Isu inscriptions and Olympus inscriptions on the bottle made it impossible for him to break free of the evil power in his body, and the Pym particles at the bottom of the bottle structure were still working, enough to maintain this shrunken state until the energy was exhausted.
He put the "Collector's Edition Blackened Lawyer Ma Figure" in his arms, then looked up at Spider-Man who was squatting on the ruins in front of him and staring at him.
Mason frowned and said:
"You are not Peter Parker! Peter would never be so harsh on someone, even if that person is an enemy."
"Huhuhu, he has already paid the price for his soft-heartedness."
Facing Mason's questioning, Spider-Man in front of him sneered a few times, then turned around and shot out spider silk to leave, but he stopped the moment he stood up.
He reached out and gently grabbed his wrist, then pinched his fingers together and sparks flew out.
He stared at Mason and said in a grim tone:
"Your bullets are equipped with locators? You dare to put a locator on me?"
This reaction made Mason raise an eyebrow.
Although the locators that were dropped had been discovered before, this was the first time that they were discovered so quickly. The scientific literacy of this Spider-Man is pretty good.
But his actions obviously irritate Spider-Man, and the city hero, feeling threatened, decides to teach Mason a lesson.
He stood up and activated a certain device, and then as Mason looked on in surprise, four steel spider legs popped out from behind the latter's suit, and after a rather mechanical movement, Spider-Man pounced towards Mason.
With a "bang", the four piercing spider legs pierced Mason's heart, but only splashed water on the spot, as if it had shattered a water clone.
"Mutants!"
Spider-Man exclaimed and immediately moved his spider legs to defend himself. Mason, who was more than ten meters away, had already completed his aim in a crouching position.
The Widowmaker in his hand, which had been modified by Isu technology, no longer fired bullets. Instead, it opened the electromagnetic rail in the energy gathering, and the triangular projectile was instantly accelerated to seven times the speed of sound and fired out of the barrel.
Spider-Man's iron spider leg broke with sparks flying in the next moment, and Venom Harley, who came from behind, picked up a baseball bat and hit him indiscriminately.
The latter activated the harsh sound waves to force Venom Harley back and planned to escape from here. He realized that the idea was difficult and he had to think about it carefully. However, the next moment, Mason, who had put away the electromagnetic gun, stood up and shouted:
"Dr. Otto?"
"Um?"
Spider-Man, who had just jumped into the air, trembled.
He rolled back to the ground in front of Mason, posed in a standard Spider-Man pose, and said to Mason viciously:
"Who did you just say?"
"Otto Gunther Octavius! I'm talking about you!"
Mason used the gravity ring to pull the broken mechanical spider leg into his hand, pointed at the device in the crack where the arc was still jumping, and said:
"This is an upgraded product of the octopus's mechanical tentacles. It has gone through at least three technological iterations, but the essence remains the same. I recognized it when you popped out this device just now.
I am familiar with this auxiliary structure.
In another world, Dr. Otto is my mentor in engineering... Even though you have Peter Parker's body, some things can't be faked.
Maybe I should call you Octopus Parker?
No wonder you acted so cruelly, no wonder even S.H.I.E.L.D. sees you as a threat. Tell me, how long have you occupied Peter's body?"
"Occupy? Don't speak so harshly, young man."
After his identity was exposed by Mason, Zhang Parker stopped pretending.
He stood up and tapped the spider logo on his chest, and the nano battle suit was quickly retracted into the box on his chest.
Under the battle suit, John Parker was wearing a casual suit that looked very expensive. He took out the car key from his pocket and pressed it. With the echo of the low engine, a modified Venom sports car came speeding from the corner of the street and stopped next to the rich, wealthy and handsome "Spider-Man".
Well, can the words rich and handsome really be put together with Peter Parker? Shouldn't Peter's exclusive adjectives be poor, struggling for a living, and relying on selling his own photos to make money?
"It seems like you're pretty close to both Peter Parker and Otto Gunther Octavius, which is surprising."
Zhang Parker took out a pair of frog-eye glasses and put them on. He opened the scissor door of the sports car and got in. He gestured to Mason and Harley and said:
"I am also interested in the 'other world' you mentioned. Come on, let's sit in my company. Damn it! I had a contract to discuss with Stark Industries today, but it was all because of you that you suddenly lured the Lord of Shadow Realm out of his castle.
I will not miss the opportunity to eliminate this threat.
Although the price was that I lost at least two billion dollars..."
The guy snorted and stepped on the accelerator in a casual manner. When the sports car started, he showed an evil smile, whistled, and said:
"But money can't buy me happiness, and that's enough."
"Buzz"
The black sports car left the place with a stylish tail swing a few seconds later, leaving only a destroyed street shop. Harley came over with a baseball bat and chewing gum and said to Mason:
"I don't like this guy! Honey, he's too much of a show-off. Batboy is so rich, but I don't see him showing off money every day."
"You haven't seen Bruce throwing money around, little cutie. That scene was much more extravagant than when John Parker was there. Maybe these rich guys with secret identities all have quirks."
Mason waved his hand, and the Ghost motorcycle drove out of the dark alley on the other side and stopped beside him. He took the helmet off the handle and handed it to Harley, then put on a makeshift helmet for himself.
Then the two of them rode together and chased in the direction where Zhang Parker disappeared.
Mason couldn't wait to see what kind of life the poor little bug would live after he became rich.
Besides, it's really fucking untrue that this world is as he wishes it to be!
