The track of dawn in the world of American manga

Chapter 13 13. Dismantling bombs with bare hands has always been a big job

In the desolate ruins of the Great Hall of Hogwarts, Mason, wearing a rag and pointed hat on his head, listened to the pretty good eerie passage of the crazy school hat.

He blinked.

From this guy's yelling, it was not difficult for him to judge that Hogwarts must have been destroyed by a planned invasion. It seemed that the truth of the destruction of this world had something hidden besides the zombies.

So he asked bluntly:

"Revenge to whom? Who destroyed this place?"

"Revenge. Revenge! The covenant of revenge has been set, waiting for my awakening to be stitched! Sew me up first. It's really disgraceful."

But the branch hat had stopped answering him.

He quietly dropped his voice like an old man returning to the light, without Mason taking it, the thing fell from the young man's head by itself and was picked up by Mason.

Although Mason is going to be eaten by big talk, there is no hint of being cursed or hurt on the character card. Thinking about it in a positive way, maybe it's just that the branch school hat is simply crazy.

He shrugged and packed the dirty thing into his backpack.

The young man didn't think about hiding his secrets. As he said, without even a storage bag, it is simply impossible to hide the spoils from old K.

But this does not affect Mason's joyful mood after a wave of "good start".

This at least proves that his character is not bad.

So he continued to search along the ruins of the auditorium. After nearly two hours of exploration, he finally found the destroyed college library after passing through a completely collapsed room.

The bad news is that the books in it have been burned to the ground in sevens and eighties.

The good news is that Mason found a fairly complete Encyclopedia of Alchemy and Potions on the bookshelf of Potions and Alchemy. Judging from the cover, it was a version revised and annotated by Dumbledore himself.

It's one of the most valuable collectibles he's found so far.

After another hour, a somewhat tired Mason sat on a lace bed in the ruins of the witch's dormitory, tapping his harvest.

There are a variety of things in front of him, including:

Five slightly damaged magic bags of different sizes can be barely repaired with tailoring skills, but the required skills must be above Lv2.

There are a lot of magic materials found in various places, and there are many high-end goods collected by the instructors of the academy, which can be used for the follow-up study of alchemy, enchanting and inscriptions.

Finally, there is a large set of keys to various facilities in the college, "a kind gift" from Mr. Argus Filch, the housekeeper.

This unlucky guy who likes to complain is trapped in his own room. Fortunately, he escaped the disaster, but he couldn't escape the attack of his beloved cat who turned into a zombie.

Mason ended his tragic life with his cat with a buckshot.

Speaking of zombie cats.
The young man took out from his arms the small black birdcage that Old K had given him in exchange.

This thing is a pure magic item. Professor McGonagall's transformed zombie tiger cat will be locked in it now, as if scaled down.

He looked at this thing, and the information label quickly popped up:

Blackbeard's Voodoo Birdcage
Quality: Excellent Alchemy/Enchanting Items · Excellent Craftsmanship
Status: The sealed item (Minerva McGonagall) has been marked, and can be released or retracted by chanting the spell.

Effect: The great voodoo wizard and legendary pirate "Blackbeard" Edward Teach pioneered the unique sealing voodoo technique, and this birdcage was made by him for the distinguished guests.

After marking the sealed item, it can be sealed regardless of size and weight and carried with you.

The birdcage only works on "dead" objects.

Item description: The cunning and cruel Blackbeard prepared gifts for his distinguished guests, which allowed him to win the friendship of His Excellency K.

"Meow~"

A shrill neighing sound came from the black birdcage, and the zombie tiger cat was circling around in it irritably, scratching the cage with its sharp claws from time to time.

Like a violent little devil.

Mason put the cage on the bed, and the cage swelled to the size of a normal bird cage the moment he left his hand. He comforted the zombie cat in the cage, snapped his fingers to attract its attention, and said:

"Don't worry, there will be fresh meat for you in a while."

While speaking, a black shadow descended from the sky.

Following the mechanical sound of the kite being folded into the backpack, the kiteman, who was a little afraid and looked around, appeared in front of Mason with a bag of things in his arms.

"He's exploring the fallen tower on the other side of the ruins."

The kiteman patted the tablet on his waist for manipulating the engineering bomb, and said in a low voice:

"Your prediction was right, Mason, I used the drone camera you gave me to see that bitch just headed in Old K's direction. She's the guy's dog!"

"right?"

Mason grinned, glanced at the kite man, and said:

"Is she alive?"

"It's alright, just so-so."

The old man in his 30s shrugged his shoulders and showed a smile that men can understand. It was obvious that the good man who was sent to the door last night relieved the pressure.

But both of them knew that there was not much time left for them, so the kite man simply and neatly put the big bag in his arms on the bed and opened it.

It was filled with all kinds of bottles and jars.

He pointed to these things and said:
"This is all the medicine-like things I found in the ruins, maybe the legendary magic medicine, but are you really sure these things will be useful?
I mean, you don't have any professional tools to risk dismantling that tiny bomb buried in your spine?Are you kidding me? "

"If you want to risk your life, I will play first. What are you afraid of?"

Mason quickly groped to check the information labels on these bottles and cans, and said without raising his head:
"I made it very clear on the note, even if I fail and get killed by the bomb, you can still rely on old K to continue living, that guy will not kill you so easily now that he lacks people.

But if I succeed, there will be a second way for both of us to go!

Those of you who have followed the clown should know how happy it is to have a choice in a desperate situation. "

"I know! Otherwise, I wouldn't risk helping you."

The kite man was still a little anxious, he fidgeted back and forth and said:

"But even if we dismantle the bomb, so what? That old K is very powerful. Both of us will probably be hacked to death by him with his sword, and we can't escape.

Do you have a plan? "

"Yes, wait a minute!"

Mason silenced the kiteman with a wave of his hand.

He carefully looked at the various bottles and cans on the bed in front of him, and the information labels on them flashed past one by one.

"Hair growth potions, burp potions, and euphoria potions didn't work. Hmm, Felix Elixir? Good thing, this one works!"

The young man quickly took out a black vial and put it aside, then continued to search for it, and read out the precise names of these potions while searching.

The kite man next to him stared at this process with rounded eyes.

"Skeletal Spirit? It might be useful! Then there is the blood tonic, this is it!"

Mason quickly picked out three potions that needed to be used. He put three bottles of different shapes in his hands to check, and their labels were quickly popped out completely:
A high-level alchemy compound was detected. The item in the analysis is "Felix Elixir", a high-level potion, the effect is to bring "luck" to the person who takes it, and everything you want to do until the effect disappears (12 hours) Everything will work out.

Note: The scope of effect of Felicia is limited to events with a high probability of success. It does not have the ability to change the rules. The drug is toxic, and drinking it multiple times in a short period of time will cause serious consequences.

Alchemy skill knowledge is too low to resolve the complete formula.

Bone Spirit, an advanced potion, has the effect of regrowing missing or broken bones in a short period of time.

Note: Bone Spirit will cause great pain beyond imagination when used.

This drawing has been included.

Blood tonic, advanced potion, the effect is to instantly replenish lost blood and heal injuries.

Note: The refining process of the blood tonic is simple, but the effect of the medicine depends on the alchemist's skill. This blood tonic is made by the great wizard himself, and it can instantly heal the injuries below [severe injury] and replenish the lost blood.

This drawing has been included.

Mason took a deep breath, released a flying engineering bomb to let it float above his head, put the control panel in front of his eyes, and made a simple "surgical live projection" with the camera.

He also took out the swallow medicine given by old K and the scalpel and tweezers in his bag.

He glanced at the kite man, who was even more nervous than he was.

Mason pointed to the sky and said:
"Watch for me, stop them when they come, I need at least 5 minutes. If I fail, all my things belong to you.

Remember to help me collect the body.

By the way, take my ashes back to Gotham and sprinkle them in the Gotham River. "

"Are you really going to do this?"

The kite man looked at the scalpel and the bottles of potion in Mason's hand, he clenched his fist and said:
"Just operating on yourself without any assistance, you are no longer risking your life! Maybe we can obey old K.

I think he is hypocritical, but he is not that kind.”

"There is no other choice at all! Charles!"

Mason got up and slapped him, and yelled:

"Listen to me! Don't expect someone like Old K to take the initiative to unlock the bomb just because you are loyal!

You were with the clown before, and I was with the penguin before, I went astray and had to give Oswald a bullet myself in order to escape the bleak future!
If I did that, Batman would let me go.

do you understand me?

You have to fight for your life!Don't put your life on the kindness of bastards, now, help me watch it!Then pray I succeed, OK? "

"understood."

The kite man gritted his teeth, took a step back and opened the kite to fly into the sky by the wind direction, hovering over the ruins.

And Mason returned to the bed, looking at the back of his neck reflected on the tablet in front of him, he took off his clothes and naked his upper body, and first drank old K's swallow medicine in one gulp, so that the healing effect would continue to take effect within 5 minutes.

Afterwards, he swiftly picked up the Felix Elixir and dripped a few drops into his mouth, an incomparably exhilarating feeling surged into his heart, and he howled with indescribable confidence.

There seemed to be a voice echoing in Mason's ear:

"Go ahead, boy! You will definitely survive and give old K a big surprise! You will make a big career, start now!"

Driven by this confident spiritual power, Mason took another deep breath.

Put Earl of Vertigo's intracranial disruptor aside for later use, then the scalpel in his left hand and the tweezers in his right approached the back of his neck where the bomb was implanted.

"Swish"

The sharp scalpel cut open the V-shaped wound on the back of the neck under Mason's unbelievably steady cut, and the blood flowed profusely for a moment but quickly stopped the bleeding while the healing potion continued to take effect.

The opportunity is only this moment.

Mason, who was biting the gauze in his mouth, let out a low muffled grunt, and the tweezers in his right hand penetrated into the wound.

He stared fixedly at the tablet screen in front of him, the twitching pain was still pounding his mind crazily even after the relief of the healing potion, but it didn't affect the young man's finger movements.

That's why you have to go to Engineering Lv2 to try to disarm the Micro Bomb.

Because only the "skillful hand" trait at this level can guarantee that he will not be twitched by the pain.

That bomb was implanted in the spinal gap.

It was smaller than a fingernail. Once Mason's hand slipped, let alone whether he could take out the bomb, the spine that might be stabbed would definitely kill him on the spot.

But with the insurance of the bone spirit, even if the spine is really injured, there is no need to be afraid.

He stared at the tablet and probed into it with tweezers, pinching the edge of the miniature bomb precisely. Perhaps the Felicity Elixir really took effect. This supposedly most difficult process went smoothly and unbelievably smoothly.

After confirming that the bomb was clamped, Mason didn't even have time to pull it out bit by bit, and directly pressed the scalpel against it, and cut off a piece of meat with both hands forcefully.

The terrifying pain almost made Mason faint on the spot at this moment.

But he survived.

Throwing away the scalpel and punching the jammer beside the table, the electromagnetic waves emitted were delayed by the tiny bomb pulled out of the wound so that it did not explode instantly.

While gulping down the blood tonic, the young man threw the bloody miniature bomb piece of flesh with the tweezers towards the birdcage on the bed, and the screaming zombie cat, stimulated by the blood, bit the flesh and swallowed it into its stomach .

"boom"

Mason's whole body was limp on the ground.

With blood all over his body, he felt that he was going to die in an instant.

However, under the action of several potions, his horribly cut wounds were rapidly recovering, miraculously returning to their original state within the blink of an eye.

He was lying in a pool of blood, staring at the gray sky with wide eyes, his body was completely soaked in sweat and blood, but a feeling of no longer being threatened came to his heart and he couldn't help showing a pale and weak smile.

And on the translucent light curtain in front of him, a line of belated reminders seemed to be celebrating his hard-won victory:

"Successfully completed an outstanding process · high-precision engineering explosives dismantling, and the proficiency of engineering skills has increased by X40.

Successfully complete an Excellent Craft · Rapid First Aid for Fatal Injuries, and the proficiency of first aid skills will increase by X50. "

"My God!"

A few minutes later, the kiteman who descended from the sky looked at Mason Cooper who got up from the pool of blood by himself, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He yelled:

"You really did it! Boy! You are a genius! Quick! Give me a knife too! We agreed!"

"Let me take a break."

While taking out water to wash his body, Mason rubbed his recovered neck. He glanced at the kite man, then pointed to the screaming zombie cat in the cage on the bed, and said:

"Do you know why I keep it now?"

"Understood! If the miniature bomb is taken out so that it does not explode and is not discovered by Old K, he must have a close-fitting carrier, so that he feels that he still has the chance to win."

The kiteman grinned.

Under Mason's watchful eye, a large squeaking zombie vole was grabbed from behind, its claws and teeth pulled out.

The villain of the third line snorted, shook the fat field mouse in his hand triumphantly, and said:

"I'm not unprepared, I just caught this, just for now."

"you know"

Mason stared at the zombie field mouse in the kiteman's hand, and he said with a long voice:
"Actually, I don't have to fulfill my promise to help you remove the bomb at all. You have to follow me all the way to the dark, right?"

The kite man's expression changed a bit.

The next moment, Mason pointed to the bed, showed a smile of "ha, you are scared", and said:

"Go, lie there, it may hurt a little later. But I said it in advance, Charles."

The young man took out medical alcohol to disinfect the scalpel in his hand. Looking at the kite man lying on the bed and undressing, he reminded:
"After you do this, you can't turn back, so I can tell you all my plans with confidence. I hope I can trust you, and I hope you can trust me as much as I trust you."

"I understand, I'm a native of Gotham."

While taking off his clothes, the kite man bit a piece of gauze in his mouth, closed his eyes, and said vaguely:
"You will be my new boss from now on."
