The Track of Dawn In the World of Marvel

  Chapter 694 61. The emergency special task of the commander-in-chief's family affairs

   "I was like a dream, a terrible and strange dream."

  Behind Mason, the girl who came back to her senses looked at the weird environment around her with a puzzled face. Her spirit was obviously still a little dazed, but her consciousness was returning to normal.

After noticing that there were many bionics poking around behind Mason and some of them were taking pictures with cameras, the girl exclaimed, grabbed her clothes and hid behind Mason's windbreaker, rustling her clothes while whispering Say to the captain:

   "Where is this? I remember me and everyone else was swallowed by the black tide, not just us, the whole city, even the whole world

horrible. "

   "Do you remember anything else?"

  The captain asked:

   "Like your brother, Alex Mercer."

"he?"

  The short-haired girl named Diana was stunned by this question. While putting her coat on her body, she rubbed her forehead and said:

   "I only have some vague memories, I remember him who had been missing for many years suddenly came to my apartment the night before the world was swallowed by the Kuroshio.

  He said a lot of weird stuff to me, and said he wasn't my brother, he just looked alike and stuff like that.

  I feel that he has changed a lot.

  The feeling in him is hard to describe, he clearly remembers me and I can feel that he has some kind of feelings for me, but he is just stubborn and unwilling to admit it.

  I wanted to find him, but"

   "He's right there with you, always."

  Mason patted the black branches beside his hands, and said to Diana behind him:

   "There are still a few minutes before dawn, maybe I can be your brother's friend, and introduce you to his life during the time you were away.

  Oh, by the way, it has been almost seventeen years since you 'died' last time. "

   "Seventeen years?"

   Diana was visibly shocked.

  But this clever girl realized something when she saw Mason's actions. When she turned her head to look at the black "monster" behind her in astonishment, she covered her mouth in horror and said:

   "Could this be... Mercer? Could this monster be"

   "He's not a monster!"

   Mason interrupted Diana's words with an accentuated tone. He said to the girl in front of him very seriously:

   "Anyone can call him a monster, but you can't.

  His name is Alex Mercer, your brother, remember that!

  There may be many reasons for what he has done, the darkness and loneliness he has experienced, and carrying your world on his back in despair, but I believe the most important one is about you.

  He's not just out to save your world, he's out to protect you. "

   "Then who are you?"

  Diana bit her lip. She stared at Mason, looked him up and down, and said suspiciously:

   "You are so young, could it be Moser's child in these seventeen years? Should you call me aunt?"

   "I can call, but I doubt whether you dare to answer."

   Mason laughed out loud.

  He looked back at the towering "Black Light Tree" behind him, and told the story between himself and Brother A in a certain emotional and low tone.

  Of course it is impossible to say all of them.

This is a story of nearly three million words, and the arrival of dawn is only a few minutes later, so Mason can only briefly describe it, but even if too many details have been omitted, the only remaining branches of the story are still enough. Let Diana, an ordinary girl, open her mouth wide.

  The legends that Mason told had never appeared in her wildest imagination, nor could she have imagined that her brother could play an important role in such stories.

   But not as fake.

Especially the respect and awe that more and more bionic people gather at the back for Mason, and the unique calmness of this young man who is younger than him when he speaks, all seem to prove that this sounds Exaggerated stories are just descriptions of reality.

   Even had to erase a lot of legendary filters due to time issues.

   "Your brother finally decided to die. I can't persuade him and I have no reason to dissuade him."

  In this "black light forest" covering a small half of the city, Mason stared at the fish belly emerging from the darkness in the distance, and said to Diana beside him:

  "His death will shape a new world, which is the symbol of your civilization's re-start. Once a whale falls, all things live. His bitter journey is over, and he chooses to rest in peace in this place far away from his hometown today.

  I also suspect that he is too cash-strapped to let me shape a tombstone for him.

   But now it seems."

  The chief captain raised his head and looked at the black light forest in front of him that would never be ignored or forgotten. He shook his head and said:

   "He really doesn't need my help in this regard, I really didn't expect that this guy is also a good hand at creating miracles.

   This is the tombstone he chose for himself, and the first thing he did to get you out of him was probably the last thing that stubborn **** wanted to do to me.

  He is asking me to take care of you for him to repay his guilt towards you.

  He is indeed not your brother.

  Perhaps his origin is also slightly different from what I remember. He is a life born after occupying your brother's body, an evil thing in various senses.

  But I always think that identity is not a big deal. What really matters are feelings and devotion. If you replace your identity, you just replace it.

   Anyway, the real Alex Mercer is not a good person. Brother A took his identity and helped him leave a strong mark in history.

   So, he should thank him. "

   Having said that, Mason looked back at Diana who was bowing his head. He paused and asked:

   "What's your answer?"

"I have no idea."

  Diana said honestly:

   "I've just been resurrected, my mind is a mess, I don't have enough reason and time to think about this kind of ethical issues, but I do have some images in my memory.

  It’s vague, but I can roughly guess that it should be Mercer’s experience and life in the gathering of stars you mentioned, and I did see you in those flashback memory fragments.

  If I tell you that it may take me a while to sort out my relationship with Mercer, will you beat me up or kill me in anger?

  After all, in your description, Mercer has always appeared as a forbearing anti-hero. "

   "That's just my subjective feeling, and it can't be a channel for you to understand the world."

   Mason shook his head and said:

  "Brother A has done a lot of bad things, I will not deny this, many worlds have died because of him, if he had not jumped to our side before I started the liquidation, I would not have bypassed him so easily.

  Now, he restarted the atonement with death and civilization, even I can't ask him any more.

   Mercer was never a hero. "

  The captain reached out and patted Diana on the shoulder, and said softly:

   "He's just your kin, just trying to be a responsible older brother, that's all. Look, the dawn is coming."

   Mason stretched out his finger and pointed into the distance.

  Diana looked along his fingers, and the red sun's light jumped out of the sea level at that moment, and the radiance emitted by its light and heat dispelled the endless night in an instant.

   It's like some kind of catalyst. The moment the light shines on the black light forest, continuous cracking sounds resound under the black light branches.

  The raindrops fell on the ground like a torrential rain, forming a piece of patter.

The red dots of light representing vitality dance and cover the newborn and bewildered people. They emerge from their own cocoons and stand upright in a completely strange world. Shame makes them cover their bodies but can’t help it. Looking back at the sky after a long sleep.

Light.

   represents the light of dawn shining on them, making them feel warmth and hope again after seventeen years.

  The road to the future that has long been cut off has been restarted, and it is time for them to move on.

   Under Mason's watchful eyes, the leaders of the bionics who had been prepared for a long time came forward with a group of healing staff, presenting clothes and food to these bewildered newcomers.

  Although it is not ruled out that this is a ceremonial project to make a sense of presence in front of Mason, a big leader, it has to be said that this kind of gift of goodwill still gives the confused crowd an initial sense of security.

  Brother A said that the first batch to be resurrected will be the elites in the world.

   They really deserved the title, and quickly organized, and began to communicate with the local bionics for the first time in the morning light to obtain enough information.

   Mason laughed, he knew he didn't need to worry about the rest.

  The captain stretched out his hand and patted the black branches beside him, and said in a low voice:

  "Waiting for you to bloom and bear fruit again and again, a world will be resurrected little by little until the last moment arrives, and enter a new era with a brand new attitude.

   Congratulations, Mercer.

   Your mission is over.

you're free. "

  The morning breeze on the coast blows, making the leafless branches blow as if responding to Mason's farewell, but the captain is very clear that his consciousness has dissipated when Brother A transformed himself into this permanent form.

  As he said, the essence of this new life is suicide, which seems like a cowardly choice but is full of a sense of reincarnation.

   Hope was found at the end of the bitter journey, and finally the story did not fall all the way in the dark direction.

"And you?"

   Mason looked back at Diana before leaving and asked:

   "Will you leave with me? Or stay here? I will fulfill his last plea and take good care of you for him."

   "No."

  Diana shook her head and said:

   "I want to stay here, my people need to know the stories you told me, they need to know who saved our dead world.

  I don’t want him to be called a monster anymore”

"All right."

  Mason nodded, he glanced at Diana, and whispered:

   "Moser left something in your body, maybe to give you some self-protection power, that is the original gene of the black light virus, if you don't plan to use it, then seal it up forever.

   Don't let others know about your unique gift, please contact me if you encounter trouble. "

   "Well, thanks for your concern, I can take care of myself."

  Diana thanked Mason very earnestly, and then watched the mysterious man turn into a body of water and dissipate before her eyes.

In the warmer and brighter light, she turned around and stroked the black branch that surrounded her behind her. Without any movement, the branch surrounded the short-haired girl as if it had been given life. .

  She felt the connection between herself and the black light forest in front of her through blood.

   After a few seconds, she lowered her head, just like Brother A's "transformation" in the past, allowing the clothes on her body to turn into a hood to cover her hair and face under the impetus of the still very immature black light virus.

she says:

   "Thank you, Mercer, thank you, brother."

—

   "You are late!"

   When Mason returned to the Afterlife Bar, it was already the end of the song. In his office, he was complained by an angry Harley:

   "Quinn and I have been waiting for you for a long time, look! Quinn was so impatient that he fell asleep!"

   "Is this falling asleep?"

The captain looked at Quinn, who was sleeping soundly on the sofa, and the big bag on her head, and the emotion in his heart that was endowed by Brother A's feat dissipated in an instant, and he stretched out his hand out of breath. Harry tapped on the head.

He said:

   "Is this how you treat your evil twin? Did you knock her out? Are you trying to **** me off with this way of getting along?"

   "Oh, I just don't want Quinn to disturb our two-person world."

  Harry leaned over with a playful smile, hugged her fiancé and chewed hard for a while, which calmed Mason.

  But the "good thing" she was looking forward to was destined to take a long time. Just after taking off Mr. K's coat, the communicator in the office beeped.

   "Leave it alone!"

The little cutie shrieked and pushed Mason down on the sofa. He rode up and planned to continue doing things, but the communication kept ringing incomprehensibly. Angrily, Harley grabbed the clown pistol and shot it behind him a few times, destroying it. Only then did the communication module stop, Mason helplessly covered his eyes as if being carried back to the lair by a female wolf and about to be feasted upon.

  He knew there was nothing stopping Cutie from going crazy now.

However, the matter to be notified to Mason this time seems to be really important and urgent. After a few seconds, the communication prompt sounded on his watch again, and this time the situation marked as "emergency" was sent directly from the bat network. .

"stop!"

  Mason held down Harley, who had disheveled hair and was shaking back and forth, and gave her a look, then connected to the communication, and the optical projection was turned on to reveal the handsome face of the young and old.

  But at this moment, Grayson's handsome face was full of helplessness.

  He said to Mason:

   "I have something to trouble you, it's about me and Barbara."

   "Is her rejection getting worse?"

  Mason asked a question, the young master shook his head and said:

   "No, she's fine and recovering well, just weak and needing a wheelchair. That's not what I'm talking about, Bruce and Selena's wedding is in two days, you know?"

   "Well, I heard that they don't plan to have a big banquet, it's just a small private wedding. What? Did something happen?"

  The captain asked a question, and at the same time suppressed Harry who was about to move.

  The young master sighed and said:

  "The thing is like this, originally I was the best man, and Barbara was the bridesmaid, but she is obviously unable to attend in this situation, and I have to take care of her and I can't do it.

   But it was too late to find someone temporarily.

  Ah Fu is already in a hurry to prepare for the ceremony. He attaches great importance to Bruce's wedding and asks me to find a best man candidate within 30 minutes.

   Ertong agreed, but it was not enough, so I would like to ask if you are interested in participating.

   You're part of the Bat-family too, right?

   You are duty-bound to do this kind of thing. "

   "I'm fine, anyway, I'm free for the next few days."

  Mason pursed his lips and said:

   "However, if I were the best man, there would be two more places for the bridesmaids. Will Selena agree to Harley and Quinn having a row at her wedding?"

"What's wrong?"

  The youngest asked in surprise, Mason coughed a few times and glared at Harry beside him, the cutie pretended not to see it and continued playing this dangerous game.

   "I'll go to Wayne Manor in a while."

  Mason said in an accelerated tone:

   "Let's meet there, let's not talk about it, I suddenly have something urgent. Please inform the old lady and the old lady for me, and we will talk about it when we meet."

  The chief captain hung up the communication and was about to punish the little cutie, but suddenly a pair of arms stretched out from behind. Quinn woke up and lay on his shoulders, complaining pitifully:

   "Take care of your mad dog Harley, she sneaked up on me just now and almost knocked me stupid. And you don't want to go anywhere today, didn't you agree with Harley?

   Today belongs to both of us. "

   "The days to come will be long."

  Mason closed his eyes helplessly and said:

   "Why are you in such a hurry?"

   "After Ciri is resurrected, there will be no such opportunities."

   Quinn kissed the earlobe of Little Sweetheart, she said in a hoarse voice:

   "Haley is crazy, she suddenly wants a baby, she thinks it will make her invincible in the competition with Ciri, as for me, maybe I am crazy, but I also think it is a good idea.

  So, the little sweetheart will suffer. "
