Volume 7: Da Mu Da Mu Chapter 62 You have to admit that setting a fire is also an effective way to put out a fire
The Lai Sheng Bar is closed tonight, but it is still bustling inside.
This was a celebratory banquet held to celebrate the victory. Xiao Shan even performed several time-travel teleportations to bring everyone who wanted to attend the banquet.
When Mason walked into the banquet hall of the bar, he saw the heroic Sister Ka standing on the table and drinking with the party king Master To, surrounded by a group of idle people.
They seemed to be competing to see who could drink better, as various wine bottles were piled under their feet.
Wow, this is a mixture of white and red wine, what a great alcohol tolerance.
The Spartans and Asgardians really know how to enjoy themselves. They are very talented in this aspect. These two guys have already livened up the atmosphere of the entire banquet. There are other people around them who have opened small tables and are enjoying their drinking moments. The young master also brought his fiancée with him.
The Valkyrie from Asgard had already drunk a bunch of ladies to the ground, and the blushing Harley was instigating her bestie to have a showdown with Lady Sif.
Well, a "vegetable" like Ivy shouldn't get drunk, right?
Mason glanced around and soon found that Zha Kang was staggering and supporting the drunk Xiao Zha into the box. The coquettish man had a smug look on his face and was accompanied by his "little pet" vampire Count Emilia.
You can tell what this guy is going to do just by thinking with your heels.
But that is their own love life, and Mason cannot interfere.
He greeted the people he knew and sat down at the table of SHIELD agents, just in time to see Hawkeye hugging Agent Natasha and blowing the whistle, and sitting opposite him was the young version of Winter Hawkeye and Natasha.
Well, this wave is about young people fighting against old people, and the glorious achievement of drinking with themselves is illuminated.
"Where's Fury?"
Mason didn't mention the Fourth Impact at all . He just asked Agent Hill, who was holding a glass of wine next to him:
"Is he not going to come and share the joy? Or is he hiding in some dark room and continuing to plot his own shameful little schemes?"
"He would like to come."
Agent Hill snorted and said:
"But I'm here to relax. Who's going to look after the child? And the assassination of the clones in the previous war made Fury realize that your warning was not false. He himself was also scared and has decided not to leave his hiding place unless necessary."
"That's a sign of self-awareness on his part."
Mason took a glass of champagne from the tray of the android waiter who was bringing the drinks and said to Agent Hill:
"I really want to remind him of this. It seems that I don't need to say more now. However, Agent Baoma should drink less. If something happens tonight, that brat will probably strangle me to death."
He pushed a glass of juice to Agent Hill beside him, who snorted, put his hand on Mason's shoulder, and whispered:
"What? Captain-General, are you feeling lonely and planning to do something bad? I've heard that you have an abnormal attachment to older ladies. Are you planning to develop a sister-brother relationship with me?
Sorry, Mason.
I don't really like young guys like you, but if I'm drunk enough...
How about buying me a drink?"
This joke from a married woman left Mason speechless. He could only stand up and say goodbye, then fled amid the malicious laughter of Agent Hill and the "Queen Group" members next to him.
I can't stand it.
These mature aunts are so crazy.
"Where are you going, sweetheart?"
Harry, whose cheeks were flushed from drinking, screamed and rushed over from behind Mason, lying on his back like a monkey, and said to him in a sweet voice:
"I'm a little drunk, let's go to your office."
"Did you prepare any 'surprise' for me there?"
Mason asked with a straight face, and Harley said with wide eyes:
"How do you know?"
"Some nasty guy just told me."
The captain remembered what Mephisto had just said, which made him snort. He felt pressured and a little irritated, so he put his arm around Harley's slender waist and walked into the elevator.
When the elevator opened on the fifth floor, Harley had already softened into a ball of mud after finishing the French kiss.
She rushed into the office with Mason, breathing rapidly, and slammed the door shut. Quinn, who had been waiting inside, also stood up from Mason's office chair.
She was still a little weak, and the previous experience of being crushed to death by Doctor Fate made the face of this secondary personality abnormally pale, but her current dress made Mason feel his throat dry.
"etc!"
When the evil twins pounced on Mason and were about to do something bad to him, he stopped them. Then the inspection axe was taken out of the bag and the strings were plucked in Mason's hands.
Not only for the purpose of adding interest, but also to block those prying eyes, Lord Mason had no intention of performing any drama under the gaze of others.
The sound waves that could affect the frequency of the universe were released, disrupting all attempts to spy on Mason, which made Lord Mephisto very disappointed.
It was as if a piece of cloth was covering his eyes, and he lost track of the young man, and even his attention on Harley and Quinn was disturbed and ineffective.
"Alas, young people nowadays are really resourceful. I didn't have so many tricks when I was young."
The lonely old devil, still dressed in the classic evil attire, sighed, sat on the chair, picked up the wine glass that was one-third full, and said to the person sitting opposite him:
"And that passionate love, romance, well, if I think about it carefully, I can remember my lovers who have long disappeared in time, and their endings were not very good.
After all, being associated is never a good thing.
But there are always a steady stream of people coming to my door, and the Hell Contracts in my hand are not enough. Sometimes I would laugh at the madness of those guys.
It's a terrible thing to be willing to deal with the devil for various purposes, isn't it, Mr. Fury? "
"Do you think you mean something? Are you mocking me as a fool?"
Old A, who was sitting across the table from Mephisto, also had a glass of wine in his hand and said in a bad tone that he and this old devil were the only ones in the office that belonged to him.
The broken head of Brainiac placed on the edge of the desk quickly attracted Mephisto's attention. The old devil reached out and touched it, as if feeling the pain and despair of the cosmic conqueror when he left.
After a few seconds, he said:
“No wonder that little guy isn’t afraid of me. I was wondering why he is so courageous. It turns out that he has executed beings of our level before.
Everything is difficult the first time you do it, but once you get the hang of it, it won’t be difficult anymore.
He was a young and confident hunter, baring his fangs at me hungrily and greedily, shouting provocative words at me. Ah, to be honest, I was no longer full of confidence this time.
But Mr. Fury, or should I call you Old A.
You see, your subordinate Mason has brought you what you desire. Through Ms. Q, you will be able to control the Star Society. I have no intention of interfering with this process, but the forces behind Mr. Swordsman may not allow you to achieve your goal so easily.
I'm curious, how do you plan to deal with your peers who are ready to snatch meat from your mouth? "
"I have my own plans, so don't worry about it, Mr. Fate."
Old A held the wine glass in his hand, staring at Mephisto in front of him, and said:
"But is what you just said true? You won't interfere with my control over the Star Society? You know the consequences, right? Now the Council Arbitration Tribunal is in my hands. Once I control the Star Society, I can unite the Council of Hope in a very short time.
Is this what you wanted to see?"
"I never interfered with your use of the Star Society as a bargaining chip in your political struggle, did I? I am very open-minded about this."
The lonely old devil leaned back in his chair, took a sip of wine and said:
"As long as you don't interfere with my business, I won't interfere with your ideals and twisted desire for power and control, you know that, Fury?
In my opinion, you are a guy with problems. You are always trying to control things that you cannot control. This is your fatal weakness, but it is also what makes you full of fighting spirit and execution.
I like potential collaborators like this.
But now is not the time for me to place my bets.
Let’s wait until the fourth impact is over. If Mason can’t come up with something eye-catching, he will be suppressed or destroyed by you.
That's not my problem, I just want to remind you from an outsider's perspective that your control over Q has failed and she has sided with Mason.
Not just as a collaborator!
But that's not a bad thing.
Love, beautiful love, can always add some soft spots and flaws to something indestructible. It is precisely because it is so fatal that it appears so beautiful. "
"Thank you for your reminder, Lord Destiny. I will handle this matter properly."
Old A still had no expression on his face.
But judging from his posture, he is still full of confidence.
"Okay, okay, you always have various ways to achieve your goals. You shouldn't talk too much about things you are good at, so as not to annoy others."
Mephisto finished the wine in his hand, put the glass on the table, stood up and put a business card in front of Fury, saying:
"Then I wish you and Old K all the best in your agreement duel. But if some small accidents occur, you don't have to panic. You know who to look for at that time.
I will look forward to the day when you contact me.
That's all, have a nice day."
…
"Shua"
The door to the world was pushed open, and the rotating light curtain in front of him opened the door to the Star Castle. Mason, who had tidied his clothes, looked back and saw that Harley and Quinn had fallen asleep on the sofa in each other's arms due to exhaustion after the pleasure.
These evil twins are restless even when they are asleep. One grabs the other's hair, and the other grinds her teeth on the latter's fingers. It's really hard to understand their strange relationship.
He covered his girlfriends with blankets and then stepped into the light curtain.
The next moment, he appeared in the top-floor corridor of Star Castle, from where he could still hear the noise outside.
There seemed to be some kind of celebration ceremony being held here. Looking down from the corridor window, one could see some pioneers holding a bonfire party in the square outside the Star Castle. The atmosphere was as warm as that of the Afterlife Bar.
"Warlock, Warlock, you really should reflect on your popularity. Why can your death bring so much happiness to everyone?
It seems that unpopular people can also be popular, just when they leave the stage. "
He grinned, turned around and pushed open the door of the office behind him, then saw Ciri busy at the desk, she seemed to be reviewing documents just like she was busy before.
But at this time tonight, she still has to work overtime here, and she looks very pitiful all alone.
"Why don't you go to the bar?"
Mason asked:
"Liana kept looking for you, and V also said he had to have a drink with you. Is your relationship so good now?"
"I have to be busy."
Without even looking up, Ciri said:
"You all go enjoy your victory, but someone has to do the work, right? Just now, the new logistics mentor was confirmed. Lord Fate appointed the old wizard Shazan as the new mentor and instructed three mentors to reorganize the A-level system.
As before, there is only one command, which does not interfere with the specific operation.
But I guess its first choice is not Shazam but you?"
"Well, it just met me. Although it hasn't fully awakened yet, it can indeed move freely."
Mason walked forward and Ciri handed him a document containing the coordinates of the world where the Speed Force existed, but Mason frowned after taking a look at it.
He said:
"There's something wrong with these values. The accuracy of the coordinates is wrong. You must have got the time and space quadrant wrong. If you jump in according to these coordinates, you might be sent into a black hole."
"ah?"
Ciri raised her head, took the document returned by Mason, glanced at it, sighed, and said:
"Okay, I'll revise it right away. Just wait a moment and I'll give it to you later."
After saying that, she stood up and started working in front of a device beside her desk that housed a miniature armillary sphere. However, under Mason's gaze, the Hunter made many mistakes, which was totally unlike the demeanor of a great mentor, and she no longer had the carefree temperament she had before.
"Can you tell me what's wrong with you?"
Mason asked:
"Is this bad condition related to me?"
"No! No!"
Ciri retorted immediately, her voice so loud that it startled Mason, as if she was not refuting Mason's question but declaring something to herself.
This is very embarrassing; this reaction is tantamount to confessing one's guilt.
She covered her face with her hands and turned her back to Mason. She was so embarrassed that she could dig out a new Star Castle on the floor with her toes. This scene also made the captain sigh.
He hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said to Ciri:
"About that night..."
“That was a mistake!”
Ciri said in a hoarse voice:
“Don’t think too much!
I just drank too much coffee and got drunk. You and I have no other relationship. The situation we are facing now is not optimistic. We must get serious and eliminate other distractions. We must complete it...ah!"
Before she could finish her words, a pair of arms hugged her from behind, stopping all her words.
Mason put his chin on Ciri's shoulder. He could feel Ciri's whole body tensed up, as if in a fighting state ready to counterattack at any time.
But he did not retreat. Instead, he said to her with a tiredness that he could not show in front of others:
"The Fourth Impact is coming. Mephisto told me so himself in one month. Ciri, you are right. We must be serious and not be distracted by other things.
But your current state is obviously abnormal, which will put us in unnecessary risks, so tell me, is it related to me?"
"I can't say."
The hunter bit her lip and said:
"I can't be shameless. Harley won't accept it. She gave you everything. If you do something wrong, she will be heartbroken and die."
"What about you?"
Mason said hoarsely:
"You knew you shouldn't do it but you did it anyway. Listen to me, Ciri, I don't hate you. In fact, I always feel safe around you. Our relationship can't get any closer, and I don't want to betray Harley.
But I need you to calm down.
I need the former hunter to come back and help me.
This isn't just about me, it's about you and Harley and everyone else..."
He turned the stiff Ciri around, looked into her eyes, and said:
"I won't let you die, I promise! After this is all over, I'll find a way. Now, we have to stick together."
"I also want to calm down, so..."
The hunter stood on tiptoe and bit Mason's lips hard. The captain gave enough response, as if the unfinished business of that night was continuing in the office.
The two men's hearts were tense and they stopped before the last step.
She whispered in Mason's ear:
"Just hold me like this, that's enough, give me some time to adjust my mood. Mason, do you think I'm a bad person?"
"Of course you are."
Mason felt Ciri's trembling in his arms and whispered:
"Will the Grand Master of the Star Society and the guy who is about to become an A-level member be good people? But I guess we are not so bad that we are beyond redemption."
