Chapter 209 Chapter 209 First Meeting
Except for Dong Wu, who was blessed by the venue, and Li Hua, who created the storm, no one present had the physical strength to run around the pillar in such a storm. Even if they caught up with Dr. Dong Wu, they would not be able to stop him, and they might even be caught in the dangerous fire tornado, which would affect Li Hua's spellcasting.
Therefore, the best choice for the people with or without eyes was to stand nearby and "watch" Li Hua running around the pillar with their own thoughts.
Of course, Jason, who also had the BUFF, could theoretically participate in the pole-circling event, but seeing how skillfully Li Hua flew Dong Wu's kite, he simply stood aside with everyone else and waited for a suitable opportunity to intervene. He also informed Li Hua of the location when Dong Wu tried to circle the pole in the opposite direction, ensuring that Dr. Dong Wu would never be able to catch up with Li Hua.
Kevin's gaze flicked past Li Hua, running around a pillar in a magic boy's skirt, Dr. Dong Wu, furiously being kited, and Jason, wearing a cool red motorcycle helmet and a cute girlish skirt. He muttered, "This mission's style is truly bizarre..."
It didn't feel like they were carrying out a general offensive by the resistance, but rather like they had accidentally entered some strange film set.
Mark: "No matter what, the situation is favorable to us now. It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat."
Having said that, he has fought alien monsters for decades and witnessed all kinds of big scenes, but he has never seen a scene like this.
It is true that you never stop learning as long as you live.
After running around the tower for fifteen minutes, Li Hua finally heard Jason's voice in his headset: "The Void Drill has stopped. You can withdraw your cards and run."
All the prison hounds at the scene were caught in the storm caused by the [Mist] card. After experiencing the devastation of a fire tornado, they were thrown out by the storm along with the extreme gold ore in the reactor.
Even if they didn't turn into teppanyaki squid or charcoal-grilled squid, they must have been seriously injured after not flying back for so long, and they wouldn't be able to maintain air superiority over King Zero's castle. Dr. Dong Wu couldn't fly, so Li Hua, who consumed a lot of mana, could evacuate safely by riding his flying staff.
His goal accomplished, Li Hua, his mana mostly depleted, had no desire to confront the enraged Dr. Dong Wu head-on. So he immediately switched cards and literally fled.
As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you can see. When Li Hua was concentrating on flying high, he saw Dr. Dong Wu running breathlessly below.
Just as Li Hua was muttering, "You shouldn't be that angry, right? I just overturned your reactor," he suddenly realized: Something's wrong! Why is Dr. Dong Wu breathing heavily? Isn't this guy's physical strength and defense like a Kryptonian?
Li Hua reined in his flying staff and took a closer look. He found that Dr. Dong Wu was not chasing him, but was running towards a place where there were no resistance troops.
So that's it. Dr. Dong Wu wasn't trying to chase him, it was just that their escape routes happened to be the same.
Li Hua was deeply moved by this. Adhering to the traditional virtue of "killing you while you're sick", he maneuvered his flying stick to dive down and gave Dr. Dong Wu a loud slap on the back of his head.
You made me run around the pillar for fifteen minutes!
The slap from the sky brought Dr. Dong Wu a peaceful sleep, and the great King Zero almost died on the spot.
"So that's how it is. The Extreme Gold Reactor not only charges the Sky Drill, but also Dong Wu. That's why we couldn't defeat him before."
Mark who came over said.
"Good boy! Did you discover this a long time ago and then attack the reactor?"
Li Hua answered honestly, "I didn't notice anything at all. I just felt really annoyed by Dr. Dong Wu's arrogant and hypocritical attitude, so I simply wanted to steal a tower to annoy him."
【But why don’t you say anything, No. 666? 】
No. 666: [...You didn't ask me, and at that time you were already determined to overturn the tower.]
Later, it continued to lift the tower while walking around the pillar. Since Li Hua had already done this, there was no need for it to actively remind him to lift the tower.
In any case, their mission was completed this time. Except for the dizzy Dr. Dong Wu, everyone was very satisfied with the result.
Mark was even more excited: "This is worth celebrating! I just made stew before I went out--"
Pierce was so frightened that the thorns on his face exploded. He controlled the shortening of the spikes and said, "Uh, I suddenly remembered that I was boiling water on the stove before I left!"
Helen's velociraptor-like tail twitched unconsciously: "I, I suddenly remembered that it's time for me to go to bed!"
Manny's four hands unconsciously clasped his red arms and face: "I... uh... I'm going to..."
Helen: "Take care of the mount! Manny adopted a mount, and the poor little thing needs care."
......
The Void Zero World resistance army, who had fought in unity and supported each other five minutes ago, disintegrated on the spot in front of Mark's cooking and quickly fled the scene for various reasons.
"That's such a shame. You won't be able to enjoy it. I put plenty of protein in it this time."
Mark was not discouraged by this, and instead extended an olive branch to the remaining three humans.
"Come on, kids. The night's long. We can have a bonfire and eat delicious food."
........
The prison dog beasts were thrown away by the [Arashi] card and no one knew where they were. The few people could only rely on jet packs to rush back, and they also brought with them a tied-up and unconscious Dr. Dong Wu.
The wilderness survival cabin built by Mark by hand did not function as a "cell", but he could not just leave Dr. Dong Wu there unattended, so he had to bring him here first.
Wait until Gwen has rested enough, and then tear open the space crack and send Dong Wu out to jail.
On the way, Kevin, who was floating in the air with Jason, holding Dong Wu's arm, thought of the magic boy's transformation he had just seen, and hesitated to speak: "Jason..."
Jason's face was as cold as steel beneath his hood: "We use code names when we're deployed."
"Okay, Red Hood," Kevin said cooperatively, "Is this how all the superheroes from your other world go out?"
Jason replied stiffly, "Using code names instead of real names when on a mission is to protect your own and others' identities. It's better to be safe than sorry."
This is not the question Kevin wants to ask, and Jason knows that this is not the question Kevin wants to ask.
But Jason didn't want to answer the question Kevin really wanted to ask.
Jason, who had experienced high-intensity social death and fought against the Evolved Man and then King Zero in one night, was now exhausted both physically and mentally. He really didn't want to spend most of his time explaining to his colleagues in the other world under such circumstances that the superheroes in their DC universe did not have the custom of magically transforming, wearing skirts and beating people up, regardless of gender.
Anyway, Kevin and Benjamin have such a close relationship. If Kevin really wants to know, he can go back and ask Benjamin. Let the commentary be left to the guy who can sleep through the night.
If Kevin continued to ask about death, Jason would be unable to resist the urge to make the conversation as dead as his own first game.
"Those of you with families have so much to take care of. Unlike me, I've been free since I was eleven."
Seeing the heavy atmosphere - well, mainly because Jason, who had suffered a tragic social death, was in a bad mood, Kevin couldn't help but make his own hell joke to liven up the atmosphere.
Little did he know that this had opened a pandora's box of hellish jokes. Jason finally couldn't hold back his jokes anymore, and under Li Hua's "spicy" gaze, he said in a light tone, as if he had found a like-minded person on the street, "What a coincidence, you are also an orphan wandering the streets?"
Kevin had originally just wanted to poke fun at his past, but he hadn't expected to find common ground with Jason in such a niche area. Under Mark's complicated gaze, he said, "Strictly speaking, I'm not, but my family has always hated me because of my ability to absorb energy. They left me alone when I was eleven and moved away."
Jason: "Not an orphan, but better than an orphan. I guess you've suffered a lot."
Kevin said modestly, "It's okay. I'm doing pretty well now. I fix cars and fight alien monsters... How about you?"
Jason: "I'm doing pretty well. I stole the tires from my adoptive father's Batmobile while he was on duty, and was adopted right away. Over the years, I've just been fighting psychopaths and aliens. I just discovered I have a talent for magic a few days ago, so life is pretty good."
Jason and Kevin continued to discover their similarities, chatting happily. When they returned to Mark's place, Kevin remembered a question he had forgotten to ask: "Can you tell me how you and Ben met? Are you like me, trying to kill him at first, but eventually you became friends?"
When Benjamin was recounting his experiences during this period, he began by telling the story of how he ran into Li Hua while walking his dog, and how both of them were framed by Azmis and sent to cram school.
The only part of the experience of knowing Jason was lightly passed over with the words "meeting Jason in another universe".
Although Kevin usually behaves carefree, he has a strong sense of observation, just like he discovered a detail that Benjamin himself didn't even realize, that is, his left eyelid twitches when he lies, and used it to distinguish Albedo from Benjamin.
Benjamin, who loves bragging and storytelling, would definitely talk about the fact that he met a young superhero in another universe who was the same age as him and had attributes highly similar to his other brother. However, he did not do so.
Kevin's intuition told him that there was a story behind this.
“There’s nothing I can’t say.”
Jason took off his hood, gave Li Hua a thumbs-up and said with a cheerful expression and tone while looking at him with an “it’s over” look.
"When Ben and I first met, he and Li Hua were digging my grave. Having just resurrected, I only heard half of their conversation and thought they had gender identity disorder and were planning to have a baby to commit suicide. So terrified, I sat up from my grave and pulled them together, saying I could take them for sex reassignment surgery... Haha, thinking back on it now, it was a chaotic first meeting!"
Under Kevin and Mark's dull gaze, Li Hua screamed in his heart:
Jason, your hellish joke can no longer be hidden!
-----------------------
Author's comment: Jason: I didn't want to do that either. Other people's first encounters are like "Turning Corner to Love" or "No Fight, No Acquaintance", but for you and me it's like "Grave Robbers' Chronicles"! Tell me, how can this happen in the world of the living?
