Trajectory of Dawn in the World of American Comics

Chapter 714 12. Mason stabs the sharp knife in the enemy's heart, and Harley prepares the nails for nailing the coffin

Early the next morning, the special envoy's mansion area became lively.

The envoys and representatives from various garden worlds wore their most distinctive clothes, and surrounded by their own guards boarded the official car to the council headquarters.

I don't know if it's out of a sense of ritual or other considerations. In this era when starships are used to fight wars and destroy the world in outer space, there are still quite classic black four-wheeled vehicles used to transport important people in Hope City.

Driven by the staff of the council, it takes more than ten minutes to drive to the office area of ​​the council headquarters.

This is a very mature rule and system more than ten years ago, so Mason does not intend to destroy it. Under the escort of several guards of the mansion, Mason, who is wearing a black tuxedo, is very elegant and leads him in a red dress beside him. Harley's hand, and behind them is Quinn holding a child.

The effect of the compound medicine is still significant, and even Skynet's Terminator guards cannot determine the true identity of the envoy in front of him after being transformed.

It wasn't until he sat in the luxury car, under the vibration of the wheels slowly starting, that Mason withdrew his gaze from observing the other special envoys, and allowed the car to drive into the uniform black traffic ahead and become an inconspicuous figure in the long queue. part of.

Driving for Mason was a lady wearing the military uniform of the council's defense force, with the rank of second lieutenant, and she took care of her personal appearance very well.

"Last night I heard an explosion."

The special envoy "Marlene Frost" who was sitting in the back seat was surrounded by his two wives. While reaching out to tease the bridge of the nose of the child in his arms, he asked the second lieutenant driving ahead:

"Is something wrong? On the way here, I heard that the law and order in Hope City has deteriorated recently. It is said that it is because of the rebels. This was not a reason that could be tolerated before."

"It's an underground landslide, Your Excellency the Special Envoy."

The female driver maintained a constant speed, and she replied in a very official tone:

"There are no legendary rebels or other dangerous things. As you can see, the order of the city has been restored and all staff are on duty normally, which will not interfere with your work in regular meetings.

In addition, your special opportunity is waiting at the airport, and I will still send you away after the regular meeting is over. "

"Um?"

Mason pretended to be surprised and said:

"So soon? Isn't there a one-day event after the regular meeting in the past? My itinerary is also arranged in this way, and I haven't received an order from my governor to return early."

"The order will be sent to your private terminal in twenty minutes. This is not aimed at you. Please don't make unreasonable associations. It's just that all the garden worlds have entered a state of combat readiness."

The female second lieutenant replied as if memorizing a manuscript:

"According to the monitoring of our scientific and technical personnel, the fifth shock may come earlier than expected, so the time left for you and the governors to prepare is compressed.

In addition, due to special circumstances caused by some reasons, today's world regular meeting will be the last meeting held in the near future. The resumption time of the regular meeting is still uncertain, but we will inform you when the time is right. "

"Something went wrong, right?"

Mason narrowed his eyes and asked:

"I can probably understand the reason for such a decision made by the high-level council, those rebels, I mean, those of the new utopia."

"Your Excellency! This is a topic that cannot be brought up here."

When the female second lieutenant heard the words "New Utopia", she immediately stopped:

"For your safety, please do not continue to discuss such things."

"But it's not just me talking!"

Mason snorted, leaned back on the chair, and sarcastically said to the second lieutenant who was driving:

"Believe it or not, the same thing is going on in everyone's minds in all the vehicles that are driving this road right now, decisive but also very stupid.

The more you prohibit discussions, the more rumors that are getting more and more popular will be confirmed! The more forcefully you suppress this wind, the more you will show your weakness and confusion.

Even if I'm a person who doesn't care about these things, I can know that the number of world envoys who came to the regular meeting this time is only two-thirds of the previous number.

This means that at least one-third of the Garden World has been alienated from you, and is always ready to jump on the other side's boat.

The system the council built is collapsing, Ensign, and you don't seem to be ready to jump ship just yet. "

He glanced at the female second lieutenant who was holding the steering wheel tightly in front of him and seemed very angry. He noticed the ring on the second lieutenant's finger and said:

"Everyone is thinking about the way forward. At this moment of panic, not only are there no directors who have come forward to stabilize the overall situation, even those guys who used to have five people and six people have disappeared.

I hate to say it so bluntly, but the fact is that this city and the world have been abandoned, you guys! You too have been abandoned, Ensign.

So if I were you, what I have to do now is not to scold the special envoys to continue to be loyal, but to seize the last bit of time to find a useful way for myself, my family and my lover to get through the chaos that will ensue.

Whether the explosion last night was an accidental landslide, I believe you know better than me, ma'am, you can continue to bury your head as if nothing happened, or you can make two-handed preparations. "

Mason snorted, closed his eyes and said:

"Drive and watch the road! It's about to hit the front!"

"swish"

The brakes were stepped on immediately, and the sudden stop made the car behind also have to slow down, and the female second lieutenant didn't see the obstacle in front of her when she raised her head. This was obviously a bad joke by the special envoy behind her.

But just when she blushed and was about to reprimand, she heard Mason whispering amidst the laughter of the two cuties:

"You see, you don't have absolute confidence in everything about the council, you can't hide it from yourself. I can understand that no matter how good people are in the face of change, they will be at a loss, especially after more than ten years of stability. In the days to come, I don't want unexpected events to affect my life that is already on track.

When you are used to a certain life, you will think that change is a dangerous thing and it is far away from you. However, the change will not be transferred by personal will, you have to be prepared and take action for it.

Let me give you a suggestion. "

Mason whispered:

"Firing the bullet in your pistol to the right place and remembering to bring your boss with you when you surrender will also get you better treatment in the next era.

Of course you can continue to be faithful, but take my advice, girl, think about your husband and children. "

This is already a blatant persuasion.

According to the regulations of the council's garrison in City of Hope, the second lieutenant should draw out his pistol to stop Mason's crazy talk and report to his superiors immediately.

However, until the car was parked in the square of the council headquarters, and Mason and the two wives swaggered into the crowd to head for the regular meeting, the female second lieutenant who was driving did not make any movement.

She sat in the driver's seat in a daze, watching Mason's figure disappear through the car glass. After several minutes of hesitation, she gritted her teeth and dialed the number marked "Big Slob" on her phone.

"Drop your work and go home immediately! Don't disturb the others."

She lowered her voice over there and said:

"Protect your child at home, and don't come out no matter what happens today! Don't ask me too much, I don't know! But... But it's probably going to change."

After making the phone call, the female soldier returned to the station, touched the gun on her waist, and glanced at the superior's office. She wondered if she might be bewitched by the devil.

But I have to say that the parting words of the special envoy really sound reasonable in the current situation.

"The Conqueror Sixth Sequence's local garrison has sent an urgent message!"

Just when the second lieutenant was hesitating, the operator's answer suddenly sounded in the office area of ​​the garrison where she was, and she heard the content of the communication over there by turning her ears slightly.

"The rebels in Hope City are planning a dangerous situation. It is said that the target is the ongoing world meeting! They want to hold those special envoys hostage. The superior has issued an order and everyone is ready to go!"

The news made the second lieutenant narrow his eyes.

She immediately realized that the Sixth Sequence's warning was not well intentioned, and it might be part of a certain plan, so now an important question was before her.

Is it a denunciation?

still

Ten seconds later, holding the loaded pistol, she took a deep breath and knocked on the door of the chief's office. A voice in her heart urged her, it was time to act!

——

"This little golden apple is still as easy to use as ever, especially when facing humanoid creatures with weak will."

Mason played with the glowing golden apple and walked into the huge circular conference hall in front of him. While walking to his seat, he said to Harry next to him:

"But it also proves that the council seems to have really given up on maintaining the ruling system. They are really willing and decisive enough to give up things that will only hinder their escape as soon as they realize the danger.

I feel like things are going pretty well today. "

"But that cute Second Lieutenant Bingshan may be sieved for participating in the rebellion because of your casual actions, little sweetheart, and she can't even see the moment when the system she belongs to collapses with her own eyes."

Harry snorted and whispered:

"You're such a badass!"

"I just helped her make up her mind."

Mason shook his head and said:

"If she didn't have the idea of ​​worrying about the future in her heart, she wouldn't be so easily invaded by the golden apple. It wasn't that I planted the seeds of confrontation for her. She naturally understands it better than the negotiators in this system. It's only a matter of time before the crash.

She too will be able to be a part of today's change, and I'm sure she will thank me. "

"boom"

The sound of the hammer being knocked sounded in front of the meeting, which represented that the meeting had entered the preparation stage, and the special envoys and representatives who were still whispering to each other fell silent.

They were sitting upright, with serious expressions, and it was impossible to judge what these guys were thinking from their appearance.

There are also some guys who have taken out the impurities or novels they carry with them and devoted themselves to relaxing reading, and some even took out game devices similar to mobile phones.

Each one shows the style of old fried dough sticks.

Obviously, they also know that there is nothing to talk about here except the productive work of wasting time.

Mason leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes as if resting when he was tired, and held the shimmering golden apple in his hand, restraining its energy level to a minimum so as not to disturb the security robots around the venue and some peripheral people responsible for protection and monitoring. casters.

Rao is the lowest level of spiritual perception combined with the enhancement of Isu's senses so that he can perceive the psychological and emotional activities of the people around him. Although he can't perceive what they think in their hearts, those emotional fluctuations are not as good as everyone's appearance It was so calm, like a vortex was already brewing under a calm pool of deep water.

The large conference hall, which can accommodate nearly a thousand world envoys, is still solemn and luxurious, and the working adults cleaned it very neatly, revealing a magnificent atmosphere.

When the power system symbolized here was stable, it was certainly a display of authority, but now that it has been precarious, there is enough reason to become another eye of the storm.

"Look, sweetheart! Tony!"

Harry looked left and right and suddenly found a figure that surprised her, so he quickly poked Mason's arm to wake the captain from the perception of the golden apple.

Then, following the instructions of the little cutie, I saw Tony Stark walking into the huge conference hall from the other side under the escort of a group of elite mechanical guards.

Although the face is not much different from the members of the Stark Legion, the haggard and weak posture and the ending and twilight that never appear on other Tonys represent that this is a new Tony Stark. gram.

Mason stared at him, watching him walk up to the rostrum of the conference hall, and the captain knew the identity of this guy.

This should be the legendary "Tony Zero"!

Tony Seven once told the story of this guy. It is said that there is something in his mind that allows him to possess the first-class wisdom in this world's star sea.

"I didn't expect that doing something interesting at random would lead to unexpected gains."

There was a surprised and satisfied smile on Mason's disguised face. He said to Quinn who was holding the same disguised little Brainiac:

"This guy is a member of Old A's small group, usually the kind who lives reclusively, and we will definitely find some great news from him.

Make sure you and Harley suppress the scene and give me some time to have a good chat with Tony Zero.

His health appears to be in serious trouble, and perhaps he needs a good doctor's diagnosis. "

As soon as Mason finished speaking, Tony Zero, who was sitting on the rostrum with several other directors who were forced to open the business with helpless hopes, coughed a few times, activated the loudspeaker device and said to all world envoys:

"Today I chair this regular meeting. Before discussing important topics, I want to tell you a piece of bad news. The shock process is accelerating again. According to my observations, the fifth shock will come in four days.

This conclusion is not entirely accurate.

The impact event has entered the final process, which brings strong uncertainty to the occurrence of this cosmic phenomenon, so in some special cases, the time for the impact will be further shortened.

Therefore, after today's regular meeting is over, you need to immediately return to your respective garden worlds to deal with it together with the management agency. "

The news that Mason got from the former female second lieutenant by using the golden apple was now announced, like a bomb was thrown into the venue, causing those idle people who were fishing for fish to stare in shock.

This is wrong!

Didn't you say there is still half a month left? How could it be shortened to this point all of a sudden?

Although Garden World has a complete shock defense system and the assistance of the Tenth Fleet so that they don't have to worry about the sudden acceleration of the shock, this sudden situation really disturbed many people's thinking.

Like those who have made up their minds to jump ship.

The manufacture of the Isu Signal Tower and the World Magnetic Field Generator of the New Utopia Project also takes time! This unexpected situation forced them to be unable to complete the secret preparations during this shock.

As a result, the entire conference hall suddenly became chaotic, and some special envoys even got up and prepared to leave immediately. Time is so precious that it cannot be wasted here.

But someone is faster than them all.

Mason raised his hand, then got up and shouted:

"I'm curious about the council's response to this unexpected situation, and the issues that many people are concerned about but cannot be discussed here. How are you going to deal with those increasingly active neo-utopian rebels?

Is the integration plan they preached around the sea of ​​stars feasible?

If that's all true, will the Council allow Garden World to freely choose its own destiny? When we first joined the council system, you made a promise!

The original and only purpose of this organization was to preserve the fire and fight against the doomsday in the catastrophe of impact. Now hope has emerged, although it is a pity that it was not born in your hands.

But I want to ask, will you prevent us from contacting them and accepting their help? "

The venue fell silent for an instant.

All eyes were on Mason.

Who is this guy?

You boldly pointed out the crux of the problem, although what you said is indeed what everyone cares about, but it is so direct.

Hey, the boy who came to the meeting with two wives and children!

You are very brave.
