The track of dawn in the world of American manga

Chapter 38 38. My organization is extremely fair, my boss is absolutely clean, and the future is bleak
Mason slept for a long time this time, and he woke up after about three hours.

When I opened my eyes, a familiar character card jumped in front of me again. The "E-level member of the Stars Club" in the identity column has been completely transformed into a freshly released "C-level member of the Stars Club".

The young man didn't feel the joy or satisfaction after being promoted. On the contrary, he opened his left arm sleeve the moment he got up.

The originally very simple ghost claw tattoo on it has become very complicated.

The outer black ring turned into a simple light-like flame line, and the inner ghost claws were also "upgraded" to double ghost claws with a twisted and weird torso.

Zha Kang's guess about the curse was completely correct!

It is indeed growing.

Moreover, Mason has already figured out its growth conditions by "hands-on practice", and the promotion of the level in the Stars Club will make this tattoo more complex and complete.

Mason guessed that if he reached the A level, then the tattoo would completely show the reflection of an evil spirit.

"Boss! How did you grow taller?"

The drowsy kite man who had been watching Mason was awakened. His first exclamation made Mason subconsciously look at his feet.

The trousers that fit before have now become trendy "high-profile trousers", with a leg and wrist exposed, and the windbreaker shirt has two buttons undone.

Not only has he grown about 5 centimeters taller, but he has also become stronger, and he no longer has the thin, 17-year-old youth who was bullied by the school.

Belly has muscles, can you believe it?
"Don't be surprised, it's just 'employee benefits' and everyone has them."

Mr. Hunter's gentle voice sounded from the door of the big box next to the office.

He walked up to Mason and looked up and down. The young man obviously felt a penetrating gaze examining him, as if he had been seen through.

"Well, it's half the job done."

Mr. Hunter uttered an obscene joke in a serious tone, averted his eyes from Mason's lower body, and said to the embarrassed young man:

"You have a good foundation, your body and life quality have been strengthened very well, your strength, speed, and endurance have all improved, and you have also helped you smooth out endocrine and improve your gastrointestinal circulation.

But don't get too attached to this 'perk', Mason.

It doesn't make you superhuman overnight, it just raises your physical fitness to the level of a standard humanoid at your age.

It is similar to an excellent soldier who has been trained for many years, but the potential has to be discovered by yourself. "

"This is enough, Lord Hunter, I am grateful for the training of the organization, and I must do things well with my heart, so as not to disappoint you and the old Captain K's spirit in heaven."

Mason showed his loyalty with every opportunity.

Mr. Hunter didn't care about this, he said in a businesslike tone:
"Since the two of you don't intend to change the base world, then I won't force you either.

My work here is done and I'm leaving soon.While you were in a coma, I went out for a walk, and I have to say, your city opened my eyes, Mason. "

The big boss of the Stars Club complained:
"In the time I went out to buy a cup of milk tea, I witnessed three robberies, two scams and one theft against me and the molestation that happened right next to me.

By the way, I saw a group of heavily armed guys fighting in the street, and a few guys in strange clothes fell from the sky.

Has your life in Gotham always been this colorful?No wonder you guys don't want to change the world. If it were me, I wouldn't want to miss so many "wonderful things". "

"Hehe, the locals are like this, my lord."

Mason's deadpan awesome read said:
"Don't look at this city's chaotic exterior, but after you get to know it deeply, you will find that its interior is even more filthy, but this place is really suitable for newcomers like us to lurk.

It itself is a mixed bag. "

"alright."

Mr. Hunter nodded and said:

"Then before I leave, it is necessary for me to be a 'newcomer guide' again to tell you some things you must know.

Oh, right.

You two will remember to call the police for me.

The guy who molested the little boy was cut off by me and threw his hands, limbs and feet into the trash can on the side of the street. I asked the police to go there quickly to prevent him from losing too much blood and dying so easily.

This won't cause you trouble, will it? "

"No, my lord, this is an act of supreme justice that demonstrates your bright heart. I will call the police for you immediately!"

The kiteman took out his phone winkingly and walked out of the box.

As a younger brother all the year round, he knew that this would be a private conversation time between the big boss and the little boss, and he shouldn't be there, lest he hear something he shouldn't hear.

"Mason, since you are already a C-level personnel, the reorganized K team will not send you any more guides."

Mr. Hunter took out a thin booklet from his cloak and handed it to him, saying:
"As the captain, you need to strengthen your studies and understand the various rules as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary risks when you go out on missions, and this."

A small black velvet bag was also placed in Mason's hands, Mr. Hunter explained:

"Here are fifteen power stones used to open the door to the world, which is your team's ration for two months. Of course, if you are proficient in alchemy or magic, you can also make power stones yourself.

If the quality is good enough, the organization will recycle at a high price. "

"Okay, I know."

Mason nodded, and heard the big boss who was really nice and not domineering ask again:

"How many world coordinates are recorded in Old K's World Gate?"

"There are four lighted scales on the doorknob."

Mason recalled the details of the World Gate, Mr. Hunter nodded and said:

"So minus the base world, you should have three worlds to explore.

Considering the level of old K, there should be no ordinary D-level worlds, and the lowest level is C-level. With the appearance of your current team, I don't recommend you to explore high-risk worlds.

Let's practice in the low-level world first.

The K team has just been reorganized, so the organization will not assign you mandatory exploration and exploration tasks in the last two months, but you must hurry up and improve your strength within two months.

remember!

This is very important, otherwise, once you are thrown into a strange world that needs to be explored, you will easily be wiped out. "

"Okay, thank you for reminding me, sir."

Mason kept these suggestions in mind, and he humbly asked:

"Is there anything else I must know? If it doesn't take up your precious time, can Charles and I treat you to dinner?"

"I accept it kindly, but there is no need to eat."

Mr. Hunter let out a meaningful laugh. He patted Mason on the shoulder and said:

"Don't play with such small thoughts, Stars will be an organization that values ​​efficiency, Mason, you just joined us and don't know much about these things. If you want to win my favor and attention, then contribute as much as possible to the organization.

We don't have the rotten problems of big corporations.

As a huge organization spanning nearly a thousand parallel worlds, we have a set of efficient and clean internal review, huh?what is this? "

He watched as Mason quietly handed over a small jewelry box.

Inside was a small irregular gray stone the size of a fingernail. Mr. Hunter's eyes behind the mask immediately narrowed. He took the thing that couldn't be smaller and inspected it in front of his eyes.

After nearly ten seconds of silence, he said:
"Are you bribing me? So blatant? This seems to be a miracle that can break life and death?"

"Yes, my lord, I did an experiment with zombies, it can 'resurrect' the dead, um, it's a very scary 'resurrection'."

Mason bowed his head and said obediently:

"I admit that I was a little wary when I found it in the ruins of the academy, and I planned to keep it for myself, but then I realized that this kind of thing is too evil.

It is definitely not something that a rookie like me can control, and I have no way to destroy it.

You are the old captain of the old captain K, and I am the new captain of the K team appointed by the old K. If you round it up, you are also my old senior big brother.

I can only ask you for advice on such a dangerous thing.

My lord, please show kindness and help Team K get rid of such a terrible and evil thing. "

"If your behavior is exposed, you will be thrown into a red dwarf."

Mr. Hunter shook his head, flipping over the small fragment of the resurrection stone with his finger, it disappeared.

He scolded righteously:
"You are not allowed to do this in the future! Did you hear me, the Stars Association is a clean organization!

We do not engage in internal small groups, let alone form cliques!

Our internal competition has always been based on strength, and it is better to improve ourselves than engage in these crooked ways!
You little guy has a very problematic mind. It seems that I have to pay more attention to your crooked team K. Are you interested in becoming my direct development team?

There was no quota.

But for the sake of old K, I can give you a chance to try. "

"Does it make any difference, my lord?"

Mason said in his heart that he is honest!
Let me test it out and you actually accepted it. This corporate culture is really good enough.

He asked softly:
"I believe that this must be for the organization, but I'm just afraid that our lack of ability will make you feel bad."

"There is no difference between the direct development team and the ordinary team, except that you are directly responsible to me. Every time a mandatory development task is issued, you have the right to choose one of the three target worlds.

Correspondingly, the worlds that require exclusive development teams to enter are generally tricky.

The danger is greater.

Of course the benefits are great too. "

Mr. Hunter coughed and said to Mason:

"But I think young people should be aggressive, and it's a good thing to have the courage to challenge yourself. Look at this lonely journey in life. If you don't make a big fuss, how can you go away with fun?

Are you right? "

"Squad K is of course willing to share your worries and solve your problems."

Mason agreed without hesitation.

Mr. Hunter glanced at him again and motioned him to take out his identity card. Mason pinched his fingers, and a bronze star card appeared in his hand, which represented that his level had been promoted.

The big boss stretched out his finger and scratched a unique mark on Mason's identity card, and a small hunter's emblem appeared in the corner of Mason's card.

"That's it. Two months later, Team K will have its first development mission. Be good and don't embarrass me!"

Mr. Hunter withdrew his fingers and said to Mason:
"There is also a three-month trade fair that newcomers need to pay attention to.

It is also one of the very important benefits of the organization for newcomers. You can exchange everything you lack with fellow members of the organization there, and you can exchange any good things you have.

The rest is in the captain's handbook, you can read it yourself. "

After finishing speaking, Mr. Hunter was about to leave but was stopped by Mason. The young man hesitated for a while, and finally asked the question that had been haunting him in his heart.

He said to the big boss:
"My lord, I saw the doomsday with my own eyes in that world of wizards, and I also heard from Old K that disasters and tragedies are the main tone of the parallel world, which made me toss and turn and couldn't let go after I came back.

I want to ask you, are there really many disasters like the plague of zombies in the parallel world? "

"That depends on how you feel about the 'end of the world,' Mason."

Mr. Hunter stopped and didn't look back.

He sighed and said:
"When did the world end? When the stars fell apart? When the backbone of civilization shattered? Or when the malice of darkness enveloped everyone and drove away the last ray of light?
Many newcomers will have the same doubts after completing the first world exploration, but few people can insist on finding the answer to this question.

Mason, you might give it a try.

My answer to this question may not be suitable for you, but you can sum up your answer with your own eyes and steps. I look forward to the day when you tell me that answer.

The premise is that you can live to that time. "

You didn't say anything.

Mason complained in his heart that his new big boss is actually a riddle man.
He sighed, and was about to say goodbye to Mr. Hunter, but he suddenly turned around and said to him when the mild-tempered big man walked to the door of the box:
"Ah, almost forgot one thing, Mason."

He looked at the young man and said:
"You have some kind of pheromone mark for positioning, I don't know if you have discovered it, but the person who put this mark on you is obviously clever.

That particular pheromone leaves a faint detectable signal of a reaction where you linger longer than 5 minutes.

But don't worry.

I've cleaned up the traces here. "

Mr. Hunter let out a chuckle, and said to the young man whose expression changed drastically:

"Youth is an advantage, Mason, but it is also a terrible disadvantage. It seems that you have been targeted by a hunter who is far more mature and powerful than you.

I can only wish you luck, little one. "

"Wait! My lord!"

A flash of lightning flashed in Mason's mind, and he immediately remembered some of his actions in Blackgate Prison last night, especially the conversation with Penguin in the sewer.

Damn!

He must have been there for more than 5 minutes!
Batman has been there too!

His whereabouts were exposed, but before that terrifying man called the door, it meant that things had turned around.

In desperation, he grabbed Mr. Hunter's wrist, but the other party waved his hand like throwing a sandbag and instantly crossed the ten-meter box and smashed it against the wall.

It felt like being hit by a heavy artillery

The hunter closed his fingers together, and a surge of gentle force "pulled" Mason back after flying out.He who was still amiable just now now exudes a terrible chill all over his body.

He stared at Mason and said word by word:
"I don't like people touching me! Mason, this is the first time, and I don't want a next time!"

"Sorry, my lord."

Mason lowered his head and said softly:
"It's just that it happened suddenly. I might be targeted by Batman. If it's not presumptuous, I hope you can do me a favor before you leave."

"Do you know how busy I am, young man."

Mr. Hunter asked.

Mason's answer was to take out Su Jie's Eagle with his backhand. This sword is currently the most available thing for him besides the Sorcerer's Stone and the Resurrection Stone fragments.

Mr. Hunter shook his head when he saw the sword, and said:
"Old K's sword, or the weapon information I gave him, you really know how to choose a gift, forget it, tell me, what do you want me to do for you? I can only give you three ten minutes."

Mason immediately explained his plan, and Mr. Hunter nodded and disappeared.After he left, Mason sat on the sofa and looked at his bruised left hand.

It was this hand that held Mr. Hunter's wrist just now, and that momentary sense of touch allowed Mason to be sure of at least one thing.

That's a woman!
Men's wrists are never that slender.

So, Mr. Hunter is actually old K's old lover?Or some other bloody relationship?Otherwise, it can't explain that this big man gave himself so much convenience to this newcomer just because of old K's face.

Or did she have ulterior motives for being so nice to a newcomer like herself?
Pigs are fattened before they are killed?

Well, you have to guard against it.

As Mason walked out of the box, he thought that he might need to prepare a long-term contact plan for this unknown hunter lady.

Batman has a lot of bad things but also has a lot to learn from. Mason felt that he might also need a private database.
