Trajectory of Dawn in the World of American Comics

Chapter 11 11. Death's sacrifice to the stars, may light our way forward

In the train carriage that was heading towards the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry along the railroad tracks, the compartment at the back was full of spring at this time, and Bomber, who was only wearing a small black vest, was trying to "check the body" for Earl Vertigo.

Obviously she is a good girl who cares about the mental and physical health of her teammates.

Having served in Afghanistan, she is well aware of the bad consequences of a person being overwhelmed by pressure. Since she is also under a lot of pressure at this time, this considerate lady chose a method that can dissipate the fastest two times. way of stress.

This fully proves that proper indulgence is good for mental health.

By the way, it proves that human beings are really terrible creatures, even in a dangerous world full of zombies, they still can't stop the instinct of estrus.

"Maybe we should close the door."

The Earl of Vertigo whispered something, but was soon condescendingly put his finger into his mouth by the bomb girl who was in charge of the initiative, and he fell silent obediently.

But just when he was about to sweep away the pressure in his heart, he saw a black shadow flashing into the box.

"What's that? Wait! Something's coming in!"

He yelled, and Bomber, who was busy relieving the pressure, turned her head and saw a tail raised up, then snorted and complained:

"It's just a cat, you coward."

"There are no living cats in this damn world!"

Count Vertigo, a former member of the Suicide Squad, was calm enough at the critical moment.

He pushed Bomber off his body and placed his fingers on his temples, activating the device implanted there.

It was originally a device used to treat inner ear infections, but it was later modified into an electromagnetic launcher, which is also the source of his ability to stun other life.

Of course, as a super villain who has participated in selling fans, he also possesses a special "drug" that can make people dizzy and out of control instantly.

The reason why the bomb girl is so crazy is because she took some medicine he gave her just now.

Although the Earl of Vertigo reacted quickly, and an out-of-control electromagnetic wave was smashed on the tiger cat that rushed into the box, he obviously underestimated how high the mental resistance of a zombified high-level wizard and Animagus was.

The zombie cat that rushed towards him was indeed stunned, but the latter still completed the fierce attack.

It's just that the landing point was changed from the earl's neck to his raised arm to block.

"ah!"

Zombie cat paws slid across his arms.

Not only did it leave bloodstains, it even took a small piece of flesh away, and the smell of fresh blood immediately stimulated the zombie tiger cat, making the scarlet in the eyes of this thing even more attractive.

A shrill neigh sounded in the box, along with the earl's screams, and the bomb girl, who was a little dazed after taking the drug, didn't react until now.

She screamed.

He didn't even care about putting on his pants, so he rushed out of the box with his head in his arms, and almost bumped into Mason who rushed over in Hagrid's fur coat.

"Help! There are monsters there!"

The delirious Bomber yelled at Mason, who knocked her down with the butt of a gun.

But this is by no means a deliberate act of outrage.

Because behind her, the bloody zombie cat had already rushed towards her second target.

"swish"

Mason let go of the shotgun and let it hang behind him by the straps while pulling out Penguin's armed umbrella and stretching it forward.

The umbrella-shaped shield perfectly blocked the deadly pounce of the zombie cat, and the young man pushed the deadly "little devil" to the rear of the carriage.

In this narrow and inconvenient area, the agile zombie cat is almost a deadly threat.

It was overturned in the air and flipped nimbly to the ground, its limbs tensed up, and it rushed towards Mason and Bomber again amidst howling.

The young man twisted the handle of the umbrella instead of closing the armed umbrella, and the raging flames spurted out from the tip of the umbrella, causing the zombie cat to make a piercing neigh and stomp on the carriage next to it and fell into a safe area.

"Back! Don't get in my way!"

Mason stepped back with an umbrella to distance himself from the deadly thing, and at the same time kicked at the shivering white body that was still holding onto his left leg.

This brought the delirious bomb girl back to her senses, crawled to the box in front of her, opened the door and rushed in, then locked the door in the next moment.

This reaction was expected by young people.

He didn't expect this high-flying guy to be of any help, it would be good if he didn't make any trouble.

"Meow!"

But the zombie cat, which had already smelled the sweet smell of flesh and blood, naturally refused to let it go. It walked forward with its body like a little tiger, its eyes fixed on the opened armed umbrella in front of it and the young man behind the umbrella.

There was more than murderous gluttony shining in those scarlet eyes.

It just looks like a cat.

But in fact this is another form of Ms. Minerva McGonagall, the deputy head of Hogwarts.

The special transformation ability called "Animagus" is very similar to the legendary Druid walking with the beast. Although it cannot use magic, such a cat can do things far beyond the real cute kitten.

It's waiting.

A few seconds later, the moment the fuel in the armed umbrella was exhausted and the dangerous flames stopped spraying, the zombie tiger cat rushed over instantly.

Instead of walking in a straight line, it jumped three times in a row on the corridors on both sides of the carriage, trying to bypass the umbrella and hit the target like a bolt of lightning.

But at the same time it rushed over from the air, Mason, who was hiding behind the umbrella, closed the armed umbrella instantly, turned his gun and raised it in a waist-firing posture.

The large buckshot in the chamber of the critical shotgun is ready to go.

The action of drawing the gun is as fast as lightning. It is the shooter talent "Quick Draw Gun" that Mason unlocked when he shot Lv2 before.

With a muffled bang, eight hot steel balls flew out of the gun chamber and almost covered the entire space in front of the muzzle.

But Mason didn't stop, and fired a second shot in an instant, and 8 steel balls swept out again, causing the tiger cat to roll and fling to the rear of the carriage while neighing in pain, and dark red blood stained the aisle.

Before it got up, the third buckshot fired from the barrel again.

But under Mason's extremely regretful gaze, only one steel ball pierced through the hind leg of the zombie cat, but failed to cut off its head directly.

This "witch cat" reacts, attacks and dodges with amazing speed after zombification.

It didn't matter if the first two quick blind shots hit low, but the third shot was already aimed, but it rolled on the ground and dodged most of the steel balls.

Three large bullet casings were spinning under Mason's feet. The young man didn't dare to neglect the zombie tiger cat that was limping up. He put the penguin's umbrella back behind him, and then retreated cautiously to the head of the carriage with the gun in both hands. department.

Mason felt the pressure.

The enemy in front of him was too fast, and when it pounced, it was so fast that Mason could only see an afterimage.

Lv2's shooting skills can't even lock and aim at close range, and can only use deer bullets that attack in a wide range to delay time, but the opponent's claws and teeth are highly poisonous.

Once the skin is torn, even if it is only broken, you will experience a "rebirth of a zombie from another world".

Fortunately, he can barely resist the claws in Hagrid's fur coat, but if the battle is prolonged, he is not confident that he can defeat the zombified Animagus one-on-one except for blowing up the carriage with engineering bombs .

And Professor McGonagall is a high-ranking witch.

God knows if she will have a gorgeous second-stage transformation after she gets rid of the cat form, using magic to throw an Avada at herself with a zombie body or something like Shenfeng Wuying.

This opponent is a bit out of line.

Mason squinted his eyes and thought, maybe he should give up fighting head-on and choose outsmart?

Also, why isn't the bastard old K here yet? Didn't you say that I'm your new team member? Is that how you treat the backbone of the team? No wonder your previous squad was wiped out!

"swish"

Just as Mason's "Little Inner Theater" opened, the tiger cat launched another attack.

Even if he was hit in the leg by a steel ball, the speed of the deadly hunter did not drop much. The zombie body is tougher than normal skin and has more bones, so there is no big problem.

The young man could only see that the scarlet light in the cat's eyes jumped in front of him in an instant, he quickly drew his gun and fired two shots, both of which were empty.

At the critical moment, he turned around and squatted down to wrap Hagrid's coat around him, like a little joke hugging a quilt.

This kind of defense is somewhat careless.

But it works great.

He could feel the zombie cat scratching frantically at his neck, the fluff flying on the black mole fur coat, and the rustling sound of claws scratching the leather.

Hooked!

Mason was overjoyed.

Spread the big fur coat with both hands and throw it back like casting a net to "net" the zombie cat, and quickly grab the corners and sleeves of the coat and close them up, as if catching a fish in the net.

The biggest weakness of this zombie cat is size and strength.

Although it is a circle bigger than a normal cat, it is not a small tiger after all, and every attack is a sneak attack instead of a frontal attack, which also shows this point.

Mason would wrap it in a half-giant's coat and scratch frantically in the wrapped coat, making more and more shrill screams.

"This little bastard is really strong!"

Even a young man like Mason couldn't hold on to his wrapped coat, so he could only swing it up and slam it against the bulkhead of the train like a mouse, but it still couldn't calm it down.

At this moment, the door at the front of the car was directly cut open by two sword lights into an X-shaped crack. Amidst the ear-piercing sound of metal explosions, the murderous old K kicked open the cracked car door, rushing forward with a flickering gesture. into the compartment.

The old hunter was holding the Golden Eagle one-handed sword in his left hand and the giant hunting knife in his right hand. It looked like he was ready to roll up his sleeves and fight the boss solo.

But he looked around and didn't find the attacker. Finally, following the increasingly miserable voice, he saw the coat and the things rolling around in Mason's hand.

"Let it out! You guys get out!"

While applying some kind of gray sword oil to his sword, Old K said in a cold voice:

"I'll fix it."

"No need."

Mason tore off the belt of the kite man who was running over with sweat on his head, wrapped his coat several times quickly and threw it under his feet. He wiped his sweat, looked up and said to Old K:

"It's my booty and I have a right to handle it, right?"

"That's a dangerous zombified magical animal! Mason Cooper, I can tell you responsibly, you can't handle it!"

Old K sternly warned:

"According to the information from the Constellation Society, the wizard system in this world is very weak, but the magical animals that live with them are amazing.

In fact, it was precisely because of this 'special resource' that this weak world was rated as a C-level.

And you, a novice, are about to take on enemies that even veterans will find tricky. The way I see it, you've either been so stressed out that you've gone crazy, or you weren't normal when I picked you up.

But this is also understandable, after all, there are not many normal people from Gotham. "

"I'm not trying to challenge it."

Mason blinked.

Judging from Old K's attitude, he can basically be sure that Old K and the Stars Club don't seem to know much about Animagus, a special inheritance that is extremely secret in the wizarding system.

So he said nonsense:

"I want to keep it! It's really cool to have a zombie cat as a pet, isn't it? By the way, do you have a magical magic cage? I can pay for it."

"You're crazy!"

The kite man, holding his trousers up in embarrassment, whispered something to Mason, but the younger brother's opinion was never important in this kind of big boss negotiation.

Mason stared at Old K, and Old K also looked at him.

A few seconds later, the old hunter let out a strange laugh, sheathed his sword and took out a small black birdcage-like ornament from his backpack and threw it to Mason.

He said:

"It's a good thing for young people to have hobbies, and I support it very much. But if you take this from me, you can't take the spoils later. Deal?"

"Well, it's a deal."

Mason held the little birdcage in his hand, and before he could examine it carefully, he heard the bombshell scream.

"No, Warner, what's the matter with you?"

The lady who had been frightened and stupid since the beginning of the war finally came back to her senses, probably because of the arrival of old K, she regained courage in her mind, which was delirious due to drug use, and pushed open the door and walked out.

As a result, at a glance, he saw the dizzy earl covered in blood crawling out holding the door.

That guy was miserable.

His chest was almost scratched, and several of his fingers were bitten off.

He fell tremblingly to the ground and stretched out his hand towards Bomb Girl, but Bomb Girl didn't know whether she was genuinely moved or she was not clear-headed, so she stretched out her hand with her bare buttocks and tried to pull the Earl up.

But before her hand touched the Earl of Vertigo, there was a muffled bang, and Earl of Vertigo's head exploded in front of her eyes.

That scene was disgusting.

The kite man turned around with his mouth covered, and Mason turned his face away with a look of disgust. As for the bomb girl who was hit with a face full of brains, she knelt down in front of the twitching headless corpse in a daze.

It wasn't until this moment that she saw that Count Vertigo's hand, lying in the flesh and blood, had been twisted into a zombie's claw.

Behind her, Old K moved his finger away from the golden bomb controller with a blank face. Afterwards, this guy picked up his pipe and glanced at the bomb girl who was sitting in a pool of blood.

The old hunter shook his head, his tone was complex and heavy, he held something in front of his chest, as if holding a heart, and said like a eulogy:

"May this death please the dark stars and light our way forward."

——

Ten minutes later, Mason sat in the carriage again, holding a pack of beef jerky and chewing in his mouth, while the kite man who was leaning beside him, wrapped in Hagrid's coat, had already begun to doze off.

Seeing him snorting and whimpering in comfort, it is not difficult to guess that the magic effect of this coat is probably to maintain the most comfortable body temperature at all times, just as comfortable as being on a bed at home.

In a sense, this coat is also a must-have artifact for home travel.

It's a pity that wearing it is too bloated and will greatly affect the movement speed, which is completely unacceptable for a shooter like Mason.

After confirming that the kite man was asleep, Mason quietly took out the bunch of keys he got from the zombie Hagrid, and put it in front of his eyes for a closer look.

There are two keys in this bunch, but their item information labels are very concise, with only one line:

Hagrid's Flying Motorcycle Key

Effect: Turn on the flying motorcycle presented to Hagrid after Sirius transformed it with magic.

Tip: getting the key is just the beginning, you have to find the vehicle first.

Hagrid's Ranger Key

Effect: Opens the secret passage of the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Tip: This key is stained with the owner's blood, please be careful when keeping pets near Hagrid.

"They are all very useful things, but they are not used now."

Mason bit the jerky and thought about the next action strategy in his heart.

He put the key away in his pocket, looked left and right, and then sneakily took out something bloody from his shoes.

It was a very peculiar device.

It seems that it is only as big as three button batteries stacked together, but it is full of a sense of precision.

The young man held it in his hand, and the item label jumped out after a while:

"A high-level engineering creation was detected, and the item in the analysis is the 'Earl of Vertigo's intracranial disruptor'.

The effect is that it can emit a unique electromagnetic wave that affects the sense of balance to all life or individual individuals within 30 yards around, and can also be used to release EMP shocks to destroy nearby electronic equipment.

Engineering branches with low knowledge cannot parse the full blueprint. "

Mason stared at the small thing in his hand, touched the wound on the back of his neck, and then skillfully dismantled the double-barreled hand cannon in his hand for maintenance. By the way, he considered whether to change the structure of the gun. He was extremely relaxed and even hummed. sang.

Now there is only one last medicine that can heal wounds in an instant.

He looked at the kite man lying on the other side who was sleeping soundly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became brighter. It's fine, everything is going according to plan.

Your head will be handed over to you for temporary storage, Mr. K, I will pick it up soon.

Deep condolences to the passing of an old man, the end of an era, and a moment of silence.
