The track of dawn in the world of American manga

Chapter 20 20. Look at the battle outside!You still say you are an ordinary person?

It was night time.

In the remote area near the river outside the wasteland settlement-like block full of post-modern styles on Naihe Island in downtown Gotham, several people in strange clothes are busy here.

"It's unbelievable that a magically protected building exists in such a chaotic place."

A black lady wearing a tuxedo, a magician's high hat, and bold fishnet black socks and high heels on her lower body. The whole body is so shiny that she looks like she is going to perform on stage at any time. floor apartment.

She waved the magic wand in her hand and exclaimed:
"It's almost as magical as a hanging garden in the middle of the Sahara desert."

"What's even more amazing is that the 'omnipotent' Batman didn't notice such a 'dangerous object' in his city before."

Behind the beautiful and trendy girl, a guy with a cigarette in his trouser pockets put his hands in his trouser pockets, and said something in a long voice.

As he spoke, the bastard was squinting at Batman standing beside him like a statue.

Obviously, he was provoking the night knight.

"All right, John."

Hearing that her ex-boyfriend was so rude to the local heroes of Gotham, the girl Hei Changzhi sighed helplessly, then turned around and said:
"If you have time to complain, why don't you come and help me dismantle the enchantment in front of me. It is protected by magic that I have never seen before. I need some time to study it."

"Xiao Zha, now is not the academic time, please restrain your desire for research."

A man with a cigarette, an unshaven beard and messy hair stepped forward, and the night wind blew his khaki windbreaker jacket, making the red tie around the guy's neck flutter with the wind.

He walked up to the girl who was like a magician, took off the cigarette and held it in front of him with two fingers. The moment he let go of his fingers, the burning cigarette fell into the two sides as if being swallowed by an invisible object. in front of people.

He shook his head and said:
"Look, this ward is dangerous, and it's still open. I suggest we just blow it up instead of trying to find a safe way.

Don't you see that Lord Batman is getting impatient?

There must be something in this house that he has to get, and I can smell his nervousness standing here. "

"There was a child in that house."

Facing this guy's ridicule, Batman, who had been silent all along, explained:

"Five days ago, a young man I was concerned about was taken here by unknown forces, and I also discovered this 'hidden' building at that time.

Before the two arrived, I tried many ways but couldn't enter it. There are still foggy monster guards like a maze.

I don't know much about magic, but I believe the child is still alive. "

"No wonder."

The black long straight girl nodded.

She seems to have known Batman before, and she stroked her hair and said with a smile:
"I just said that Batman, who never welcomes outsiders into Gotham, would take the initiative to contact me? I thought you were here to expel me and John."

Facing the sweet smile of the beautiful mage, the master replied blankly:

"You were invited by Bruce Wayne to perform magic tricks for the annual city benefit gala, Zatanna, you are a guest of this city, and you are my friend.

Me and the kid need your help right now. "

"What do you mean?"

The man next to Zatanna suddenly became upset. He took out a pack of Sika cigarettes and popped one in his mouth, saying:

"Xiao Zha is a guest, am I not?"

"You are no guest anywhere, John Constantine."

Batman said indifferently:
"I warned you a year ago when you summoned hell demons in my city, don't set foot in Gotham again!"

"Okay, both of you, stop arguing."

Seeing that her ex-boyfriend and her childhood friend, now a close superhero friend, were about to quarrel, Zatanna, the black, long straight female mage, immediately stretched out her hands to block between the two men.

The charismatic lady tossed her hair, and said to Constantine emphatically:

"John, come and help me rescue that child! I still have to prepare for the performance at Wayne Manor tomorrow night. If you want to be my assistant, please listen to me, otherwise I have to ask you to leave."

"Hmph, Fake Bertman!"

Zha Kang gave Batman a hard look, and cursed in a low voice when he turned around, but facing the glare of his beautiful and capable ex-girlfriend, he had no choice but to step forward to help break the magic barrier.

Of course, as the world's leading magic master and troublemaker, Zha Kang has some skills, and he is not much weaker than his infuriating tongue skills.

With his assistance, Zatana quickly figured out the flow of magic power outside the building in front of her.

The female magician's long black hair whirled and fluttered in the wind in the spellcasting state, resembling the transformation of a magical girl.

She was slightly suspended in the air, not caring at all about the leak of spring when the hem of her tuxedo skirt flew up, while sensing the change in the enchantment in front of her, she said to Batman:

"It was the right choice for you not to rush in rashly, Batman, this enchantment is connected to the ancient magic of Gotham's underground, once you break in by force, it is likely to trap you inside forever.

But the good news is that this enchantment is currently unhosted.

It can be opened with me and John's magic, it just takes a little preparation. "

"It's better to explode faster."

With a cigarette in his mouth, Kang Kang stared at the apartment in front of him in the mist, and whispered:
"God knows when the owner of this enchantment will come back. Why are you looking at me like this? Although there is a risk of the magic power getting out of control, as far as I know, the island is full of liars, robbers and fugitives.

Does anyone really care about them? "

"John!"

Zatanna was really pissed off, and Batman already had a batarang in his hand, ready to kill Zackon anytime he messed around.

A few minutes later, at the same time that Zatanna and Constantine were dismantling the barrier, the door embedded in the wall on the top floor of Old K's third-floor apartment was slammed open.

Surrounded by red light, Mason and the kiteman Charles hugged each other and smashed to the ground in embarrassment. Behind them, the energy stone on the cat's eye of the World Gate shattered with a click, and then the door closed automatically.

"Hot! It's so hot, it's like magma pouring in."

The kite man screamed and got up with his head in his arms, and Mason was not much better.

He felt drowsy and felt a cold in his nostrils, and when he reached out to touch it, he found that his hand was covered with blood.

In the dizzying field of vision in front of him, the light curtain of the character card was shining red as if it had been invaded by a virus. Mason looked at the translucent light curtain, and his personal information was changing:

Name: Mason Cooper
Status: Minor Injury · Mental Stress · Curse of Soul is being applied (The effect of the curse is unknown, the trigger method is unknown, and the danger is extremely high.)
Identity: Betrayer Penguin, Class E member of the Stars Club and captain of "K Squad"

Traits: Cold-blooded gunner, dexterous engineer, self-harming first aider

Mason tried hard to see the text in front of him. He shook his head and pulled a chair to sit on it. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood under his nostrils while looking around. The entire field of vision seemed to be on fire.

There are phantoms of ashes hovering everywhere in the eyes, and there are shrill phantom sounds in the ears, as described by the kiteman, as uncomfortable as swallowing magma.

This group of stars is really evil, even the ceremony to join it is so weird.

He looked at his left arm.

The circular logo on it has converged into a weird thing like a black ghost claw tattoo.

This should be the sign of an official member of the Stars Club.

But what made Mason feel strange was that, while the bad feeling in his body eased, a black card appeared strangely in his hand.

It was the size of an ordinary poker card, with a pattern of stars all over the sky printed on the back, and a few lines of information listed on the front like an ID card.

That is not any text known to humans, but Mason can understand the meaning of it when he looks at it:

The stars will be under the K team.

Members: 2 people.

Captain: Mason Cooper, E-class personnel.

Team Member: Charles "Chuck" Brown, E-Class Personnel.

Currently assigned exploration tasks: None.

Currently holding reward tasks: 1, not over yet.

Current base world: Earth 52 of the N41 system of the super-time flow multiverse [A-level world · Dangerous degree: extremely high, it is not recommended for personnel below C-level to enter the exploration]

Current team status: Lost contact with Stars Fort, please wait patiently for the superiors to reconnect
"It's still quite formal. Even the 'employee card' is issued across time and space?"

Mason complained about this thing, let go of his fingers to let it dissipate into a twilight ball, and rested for a few minutes, feeling himself regained consciousness.

He stood up from the chair and kicked the kite man lying there as if dead. The latter raised his head and took a sharp breath, which felt like a suffocated person breathing air again.

When the kite man got up, he also had an "ID card" like Mason's in his hand, but the information on his was relatively simple, not as comprehensive as the information card of the captain Mason.

"We're back, aren't we?"

The kite man stood up panting, walked to the window and opened it to see the familiar night view of Gotham.

But as soon as the window was opened, there was a loud bang from outside, like a heavy fist hitting the kite man, sending the unlucky guy flying out and hitting the wall a few more times.

Then, Mason heard a very magnetic woman screaming from outside the window:

"No, the master of the barrier is back, and the power of the barrier is growing! It's trying to engulf us, Batman, get behind me! John, hurry up!
Rush up and blow it up! "

"Hey, I'm your boyfriend! I heard that dark guy likes to mess with bats, stay away from him, Zha, and watch out for some goddamn animal virus."

"What is this doing?"

Mason rushed to the window to look out, and then saw three people in the distance of the three-story apartment.

He immediately recognized that the girl floating in the air, dressed like a magician, and casting spells like a beautiful girl with fluttering long hair, should be Zatana Zatara.

A very powerful magician and superhero.

There is no need to say anything, sir.

His signature outfit is the most eye-catching boy anywhere, and the guy in the yellow trench coat with a cigarette in his mouth is summoning dangerous magical energy to blow up the apartment.
Isn't that Zhakang?

How could you allow such a dangerous scum into Gotham, my lord?

This is a walking disaster!
"Is that Batman?"

The kite man also touched his sore head and ran over to take a look outside. The third-tier villain's eyes widened in an instant, and the two were fighting. He had never seen such a battle when he was with the clown!
Batman, who has always been a loner, actually cooperates with two guys who seem to be very powerful?

"Konstantin! Control your strength!"

The master will be protected by Zatanna with magic, but he is still shouting at Zha Kang who cast the spell:
"The child is still inside, don't hurt him!"

"Batman and his magical friends are here for you? Boss."

The kiteman was shocked when he heard the master's shout.

As if meeting Mason for the first time, he looked him up and down, and said in amazement:

"Can you make that terrible bat value you so much, and you still say that you are an ordinary 17-year-old high school student? Tell me, boss, are you Batman's illegitimate child?
but you are yellow
So, did Batman meet your mother when he was on a mission? "

"To shut up!"

Mason wouldn't be in the mood for a joke.

He is very grateful that the master has not given up looking for him after five days of his disappearance, and even broke Batman's rules of going alone to find Zatanna and Zack Kang for help.

But if he meets people outside, he will not be able to explain his current state clearly.

And the fact that the master found him so quickly made Mason wonder if the master had used some special tracking device on him?

Batman has a criminal record in this regard, so we must guard against it.

He squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and quickly made a decision. He turned around and opened the magic suitcase, took out the blood-stained invisibility cloak and threw it to the kiteman, saying:

"Put it on, I'll give you a signal later, you take my suitcase and leave, three days later, at six o'clock in the afternoon, we will meet on the seventh pier in Miller Harbor.

and also!

Take out the magic books you found in the ruins, those alchemy tools, potions, etc., tear them apart and throw them away.

quick! "

Under Mason's scolding, the kite man moved quickly, and it took the two of them half a minute to tear apart the Hogwarts spellbook and throw it everywhere.

Then the kiteman put on an invisibility cloak, only showing one head, watching Mason squatting on the ground and opening the suitcase.

He said curiously:
"Boss, what signal are you talking about?"

"This is it!"

Mason put his hand on the edge of the magic suitcase, and pulled a brass lock that looked like an ornament to activate the traceless extension spell in the box.

Boom.

The entire third-floor apartment and the basement of the room seemed to be thrown into an invisible funnel whirling with magic power. In an instant, the entire three-story apartment was put into the small suitcase in Mason's hand, and was closed by the young man with a snap. He got up and pressed the lock of the box smoothly.

And the main body of the magic enchantment covering the apartment suddenly disappeared, which directly caused the magic power in this area to go out of control.

A strange smoke screen with little destructive power but very cool effect was created around it, and the visibility dropped to zero between the billowing thick fog like a burst of water vapor.

Mason squatted at the bottom of the pit a few meters deep and threw the box in his hand to the stunned kite man beside him. While ripping off his tattered clothes, he wiped blood all over his face with a handkerchief.

He seriously exhorted:
"Don't open it casually! I keep Fangya, Momo and Mag in it, if you let them escape, the whole Gotham will be finished."

The kite man who has experienced the Hogwarts incident certainly knows how dangerous these three harmless names represent.

He nodded sharply, hugged the suitcase in his arms and waved to Mason, raised the invisibility cloak to wrap himself up and disappeared in an instant.

Half a minute later, Zha Kang, who was wielding a sharp sword composed of magic, was the first to rush into the fog, but was almost headshot by the bullets flying towards him.

"Damn it! Just a little bit, just a little bit! There will be one less evil in this troubled world."

Lying on the ground holding an ordinary pistol, the poor Mason complained regretfully in his heart, and then shouted hoarsely:
"Come on! You crazy wizard! Come and kill me, I'm not afraid of you!"
