Trajectory of Dawn in the World of American Comics

Chapter 36 36. Can I finally live a peaceful life?

The news of the fire at the Black Gate Prison soon appeared in the Gotham Morning Post the next morning, and it did arouse some discussion, especially when a large number of prisoners died in the fire accident, which made a group of Gotham citizens applaud.

Of course, the Internet is naturally full of accusations of "what's wrong with this city, just ask yourself".

The latest conspiracy theories are said to have leaked out of Gotham's famous "Villain Forum," all pointing to Batboy who was nearby when the prison caught fire.

But things have already happened, and the rest, except for discussions, can't change the fact that this matter has been settled. And Mason also slept comfortably for a night in the broken apartment of the Kite Man, a rare relaxation without worrying about being blacked out.

Charles even made breakfast when he woke up.

Of course, don't expect a divorced old man living alone to have good cooking skills, just reheat the leftovers from last night and add two pieces of bread.

"Uh, boss, I didn't do your part."

When Mason rubbed his eyes and walked out of the room, the kite man who was watching TV and eating breakfast said something awkwardly. Mason didn't care. After washing, he looked at the apartment with dilapidated signs everywhere, and asked:

"Where's your roommate?"

"Run away."

The kiteman cooked rice with a big appetite, but said without raising his head:

"During the time I lived in prison, he owed the rent and left an IOU and ran away. Do you want to share the rent with me, boss? Don't look at the dilapidated house, it has everything you need.

And there are beautiful girls living on the opposite side and upstairs.

As long as a Mr. Grant or Mr. Franklin, they are happy to spend lonely nights with you. "

"But I'm more used to being nice to myself."

Mason pouted and politely rejected the suggestion, then took out the suitcase and put it on the ground, turned on the switch of the Untraceable Extending Charm, and said to the kite man who was eating:

"I'll go in and check on the 'guests'. If something happens, you can just carry the box and leave. The inside will not be affected."

"give it to me."

Charles made an OK gesture with the bread in his mouth.

Last night, I followed the Bat family and the boss to do a really big event, and part of the burning black gate prison broadcast on the news is my masterpiece.

This is a highlight moment that has rarely appeared in Kite Man's past very unsuccessful villain career.

He is in a happy mood now, and he can eat several bowls of rice with the news in front of him.

Mason stepped one foot into the box, took a deep breath, and buried his second foot in it.

In the next moment, a feeling of weightlessness enveloped his body, and a second later, he stood on the roof of Old K's third-floor apartment.

The young man raised his head, looked at the shining white space around him, and then raised his head to look at the top of his head, as if a "skylight" had been opened in the white sky, and he could still see the ceiling of the kite man's living room through the window.

"It has to be fitted with a folding ladder."

Mason thought:

"Every time I fall down in such a weightless way, it's like bungee jumping. Sooner or later, I will suffer from a heart attack."

But the space is really big.

The three-dimensional area of ​​500X500X50 makes the place very empty, even if there is old K's three-story apartment standing on the flat ground, there is still a large piece of "undeveloped land" around it.

This is clearly the most perfect "mobile secret base".

The alchemy room, forging workshop, and enchanting inscription workshop that Mason imagined can all be built here, and they can be completely designed according to their own design style.

This made the young man immediately start to imagine the bright future after the "suitcase world", but the moment he opened the balcony door and walked into the top floor, he was greeted by a sword light.

"I'm going to kill you little bastard!"

The ear-piercing screams sounded along with the sword light, representing the deep resentment of the catwoman who was locked here for 17 hours and was about to go crazy.

But Mason didn't dodge or fight back. He stood there as if he was frightened, watching the sword stop dangerously in front of his forehead.

The catwoman who appeared in front of him did not bring her cat ear helmet and ruby ​​goggles.

Not even that tight suit.

In fact, she seemed to be in the shower when Mason came.

This time, she was wrapped in a bath towel, and her short black hair was dripping with water.

"Is there still hot water in this house?"

Mason asked curiously, but was glared at by Catwoman.

"Snapped"

The extremely sharp Sujie Eagle was thrown out, rubbing Mason's body and impaling it on the wall behind. Catwoman walked barefoot on the floor while saying with hatred:

"I thought no, because the water pipes were broken after all. But in fact, it not only has hot water, but also various foods in the refrigerator, even ingredients that I have never seen before.

Well, that fish sushi tastes pretty good. "

"Maybe it's magic."

Mason rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then said:

"Old K's house has its own magic barrier, and it may be a customized model."

"Who is old K?"

Lady Catwoman returned to the bathroom, took off the towel without even closing the door, and returned to the bathtub covered with black rose petals.

She doesn't seem to care about doing such a thing in front of a young man, and of course this may be a talking tactic of this well-informed Yujie.

Anyway, Mason turned his back to the bathroom in a very gentlemanly manner, and tidied up the furniture and some old K's collections that had been affected by the transfer of the house to suitcases on the scattered floor.

The guy is really obsessed with weapons and armor.

There are several different sets of armor on the top floor alone, but it's a pity that Mason's character card identification is just a simple handicraft, not a priceless magical creation.

Faced with Catwoman's inquiry, Mason told her everything about the five days he had been missing without hiding anything.

This is a very long story, and the catwoman who listened to it was taken aback for a while, and even forgot to add bath bubbles to the bathtub. After Mason finished talking about the decisive battle before the Forbidden Forest, the big sister came back to her senses.

She stood up from the bathtub, wiped her body, put on a set of black underwear wrapped in a bath towel, and walked out. She sat on the sofa by the balcony and made herself a cup of coffee with a ritual sense of life.

This big sister belongs to the kind of self-contained aura, even eating a small stall on the side of the road can give you a kind of exquisiteness in enjoying classical music in a high-end concert hall.

She was thinking about Mason's story, and after nearly two minutes of silence, she asked:

"So, you really traveled to another world? Just relying on that door embedded in the wall? Are you sure you didn't have hallucinations caused by the psychedelic drug given by that wizard old K?"

"You also saw Fang Fang and Mao Mao and Miss McGonagall."

Mason glanced back at her, pointed to the zombie Fangya who was fighting outside the house with the three-headed dog Mao Mao outside the window, and said:

"Do you think there are other reasonable explanations for those creatures besides coming from another world?"

"Maybe it's a freak bred in a laboratory?"

Catwoman leaned on the sofa and rolled her eyes. While drinking coffee, she played with her exquisite nails. She stopped worrying about this issue and glanced at the gate of the world embedded on the wall several times.

Asked again:

"How long are you going to keep me here? What are you going to do to me? Say it in advance, young man, I don't mind playing with you for a change, but you know how good my boyfriend is.

If I disappear for too long, he will find you sooner or later, unless you intend to kill me here once and for all. "

"If I really have that thought, I'll throw you into the pile of zombies last night and I'll be done."

Mason moved a chair and sat opposite Catwoman.

From this angle, he could see some private positions of the big sister, and Ms. Selena, who was like a "walking hormone", seemed to notice Mason's gaze.

She suddenly opened her folded legs with a nasty smile of "molesting a little boy", while Mason in front of her turned her head subconsciously.

Although the other party was wearing underwear and there was no real sense of happiness leaked, this kind of youthful reaction still made Catwoman curl up on the sofa laughing.

All the sense of mystery and oppression brought by Mason disappeared in an instant with this cute reaction, and Selena felt more and more that this little boy with too many secrets in front of her was really interesting.

"Be serious, Ms. Selena, we're talking about your future."

Mason coughed a few times, and said something with an emphatic tone.

Catwoman curled up on the sofa snorted, and said lazily:

"I also want to wear clothes to look more formal, but the closet is full of men's clothes, and I don't like wearing tights when I'm not working.

The feeling of clothes being stretched against the skin is not pleasant or comfortable except for certain occasions.

So you just make do with it.

If you're not going to put me out anytime soon, then remember to bring me some house clothes next time you come. Considering your poor financial situation, you don't need to buy too good, just five pieces each of Chanel's trendy autumn and winter clothes this year. "

While she was saying the words that shocked the poor Mason for a hundred years, she threw a bank card casually, and Mason glanced at it.

The black card has an understated bat logo printed on it.

"The legendary bat black card that can be overdrawn infinitely?"

Mason looked at the little thing and said:

"You have all these things, why go to those jewelry stores and museums? Wouldn't it be nice to see something you like and buy it? A rich man of Bruce's size should not care about your expenses in this regard, right? "

"Sister, I am an independent woman, and I don't like to rely on men very much."

Catwoman drank coffee, looked out the window, and said faintly:

"Economic independence can lead to independent personality. If you are adopted, you can't talk about a romantic relationship. Don't you even understand this truth? Besides, what's bought is not as exciting as stolen?

That is an important means for me to realize the meaning of life.

Go ahead, little one.

What do I have to do to get you to let me out? "

She reached out and pulled down the bath towel on her shoulders, licked her lips and said to Mason:

"Want to enjoy the most expensive cat in the world?"

"Risking the risk of having your neck broken with your legs, or being chased to the end of the world by Batman? No, I'm not interested, thank you."

Mason threw the black bat card back to Catwoman, and said with a serious face:

"I have to make sure you don't tell Bruce Wayne what you know, and I don't want to imprison you for long, it won't do me any good.

As you can see, I still have a use for this house, not some makeshift cat kennel.

So we have to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

For this, I have a proposal! "

The young man coughed and said:

"If you are willing to accept the constraints of magic means, then a black magician will come to visit me in a few days. At that time, we can make a contract, and then you will be free."

"Let me confirm first, is your black mage friend John Constantine?"

Catwoman frowned and said:

"Bruce invited that little slut Zatana Zaatara and her ex-boyfriend to help rescue you, and maybe you became friends with Constantine at that time.

But if it is him, then I refuse! "

Selena refused in a resolute tone:

"If Konstantin had a sister and a dog, I would 100% choose that dog.

The last time I dealt with him is really unforgettable to me. In the time I had a meal with that guy, he tried to drug me 7 times and seduced me 5 times with damn magic.

Fortunately, Bruce was not far away at the time, otherwise my sister and I would have been really good. In short, anyone in this world can do it, but he can't! You also seldom deal with him!

That guy eats people without spit out bones. "

"Then there is only one other way."

Mason pursed his lips, stretched out his hand and pulled up the sleeve of his left arm under Catwoman's gaze, revealing a black ghost claw tattoo.

He said:

"If you also become a member of the K team, if we have a common predicament and face common troubles, and become the only one who can rely on each other when roaming in different worlds, then the crisis of trust that plagues us now is the same Nothing but trouble.

So although it's a little presumptuous, Ms. Selena, can I invite you to be my teammate? "

"Adventure to another world?"

Catwoman raised her eyebrows, but didn't immediately agree.

But the light in her eyes clearly meant she was interested in the offer.

After all, taking risks and dying has always been a cat's nature, and an outstanding woman like her can't fight her instincts.

"There's a lot of risk in that."

Selena shook her head after ten seconds and said:

"First of all, you yourself don't know what kind of organization that group of stars will be, and your knowledge of it is limited to what Old K told you.

Second, there is no evidence for what you say, little guy. "

Catwoman pointed to the wooden door embedded in the wall, and she said lazily:

"I'll have to see it with my own eyes to convince myself to make up my mind."

Catwoman's answer silenced Mason, and after a few seconds, he asked:

"Aren't you afraid? I mean, facing such an invitation and a curse of unknown origin, why should a normal person hesitate for several days?

Your eagerness to try scares me a bit. "

"The answer is simple, little Mason."

Selena pouted, put down the coffee cup and explained:

"I have a great boyfriend, in my heart he is omnipotent, and tirelessly making trouble for him, enjoying everything he does for me is the greatest joy in the rest of my life.

Also, I'm tired of the adventures that the city of Gotham has to offer.

If I don't find some new fun for myself, I'm afraid that in a few years I may really sink into the temptation of happiness brought by that charming bat.

So, just think that I bought a 'sightseeing ticket'. "

Catwoman was lying on the sofa, planning to take a nap like a lazy cat. She waved her hand to let Mason play by herself, and said in a long voice:

"Let me know when you go to another world next time. I'll be living here for a few days. Remember to bring me clothes."

Ten seconds later, she spoke again:

"Why are you still here? Well, I understand, young people are stressed and want to release, right? Come, come here, little friend, my sister can give you a hand.

Don't be shy. "

Seeing the back of Mason leaving the apartment as if running away, Mrs. Catwoman, who was resting on the sofa, showed a big smile, ah, she really never gets tired of such fun things as molesting little boys.

——

Mason crawled out of the suitcase in a panic.

Well, this description alone feels a bit like "postmodernist impressionist crazy literature".

In short, the young man went back to the floor and locked the box again. He glanced at the kiteman who was adjusting the jetpack, intending to let him go out with him and choose his own foothold.

But before he could speak, the next second he and the kite man raised their heads at the same time.

The ghost claw tattoos on the arms of the two were abnormally hot. Mason frowned and stretched out his hand to pinch. In the gathering of broken lights like star points, the "employee card" of the Stars Club appeared between his fingers.

He put this thing in front of his eyes, and a line of words appeared on the card that recorded the situation of Team K:

The superior liaison officer of the K team has arrived in the world, and all members of the K team are asked to go to the designated place to meet with the superior and complete the task briefing.

"Boss!"

The kiteman also saw this information on his identity card.

His face suddenly became terrified, and he grabbed the loaded pistol beside him, obviously very worried that the stars would find out that he and Mason partnered to kill Old K.

"Don't panic!"

Mason shook his head and said:

"If something happens, it's not the liaison officer who will come, but someone like the execution team, and they will definitely not give us a hint. Calm down."

The young man breathed a sigh of relief, touched his left arm and said:

"It's not an option to escape now. Unless you make up your mind to call Batman, you can only play with them first."
