Chapter 272 70. Barry Allen is about to murder Barry Allen—Monthly Ticket Addition·Happy Lantern Festival【1725】
"You said that reverse lightning came for time?"
The answer from Barry was beyond Mason's imagination, and Mason froze. Then he seemed to understand. He looked at Barry and said:
"Can you go into more detail? What means is he planning to 'steal' time?"
"It's hard for me to explain, Mason."
Flash’s wounds healed under the action of potions and self-healing power. This process was uncomfortable and made him gasp constantly. He tried his best to explain:
"This is just a metaphor.
I didn't see Reverse Flash attacking anyone with my own eyes, but he kept running in a special space, and I could feel that the speed net in this world was being distorted by him.
But he is definitely not to absorb those speed forces, he is to get what is protected by those speed force nets.
He has to crush them before he can go any further.
The reason why I say he is 'stealing' time is because I can feel that the time flow in this world is abnormal, and the timeline is distorted into a rather strange appearance.
I guess, this should be caused by the interference he brought. "
"I don't have a mind strengthened by the Speed Force to keep up with your leaping thoughts."
Mason paused and said:
"You have to make it clear, how does time flow in this world?"
"Time is not linear here."
Barry's finger twirled in the air, bringing up a faint light spot, and he said:
"I wanted to hide in time when I was chased by the reverse flash. This is a very effective strategy for speedsters in battle, but I failed. I can't go back or advance time in this world.
No matter how fast you run, it will not work.
I want to leave here and return to our world, but I can't do it. It's like a wall blocking the speed force from passing through the two worlds.
I'm sure Reverse Lightning can't leave either.
He was also trapped.
He attacked me before as if he wanted to capture the traces of space-time interference on my body and escape here. This is by no means a problem with the Speed Force, but a problem with the world itself. "
Speaking of this, probably to strengthen his persuasion, Barry said:
"If my theory is correct, then your world gate should also be unusable. You haven't tried it yet, have you?"
"Just try and you will find out."
Mason pinched out his Star Club ID card,
He brushed this thing on the door of a nearby room, and the wooden door lock was immediately replaced with a brass-colored handle, as well as exquisite world scale lines.
He glanced at Barry, turned the doorknob to the position of Gotham World, and then gently pushed back, the familiar starlight reflection still appeared in front of his eyes.
But before Mason stepped into it, a swift stream of light rushed from afar.
With a whoosh, he rushed into the world door pushed open by Mason, and then...
"boom"
There was a muffled sound.
The guy who tried to escape through the World Gate directly hit the wall of the utility room next to the garden, and the impact was so strong that it even made a dancing human-shaped hole in the opposite wall.
It looks like some kind of nonsensical operation that an unscientific animation character would do.
This embarrassing scene made Mason and Flash stunned.
"Reverse Lightning!"
Barry screamed and was about to go forward to arrest him, but he staggered and fell to the ground as soon as he got up. Obviously, Reverse Lightning, who was obviously ashamed and angry, turned around and punched him a few times, causing him to fly into the air and then fell to the ground.
Merlin reacted extremely quickly and drew his gun to shoot, but the reverse lightning made a big mistake and didn't give him time to aim at all.
The whoosh disappeared just like when he came, leaving only the whirring sound of the dawn wind blowing through the hole in the wall in front of him, which represented a "little mistake" just now.
It stands to reason that a speedster can use the high-speed resonance of body molecules to pass through obstacles such as walls without a trace, and there will be no such situation of "can't stop the car" at all.
But the destroyed wall in front of him cannot be faked. It seems that Barry Allen's guess is correct.
Reverse Lightning was not only trapped here, but also suspected to have interfered with the normal operation of the Speed Force.
Mason stood in front of the world door where the stars flickered and took a step forward, then appeared from the other side of the door, looking back at the still shining starlight behind him, he frowned completely.
"It seems that only entry and no exit are allowed here, and only the communication is still open. No wonder they sent people before but couldn't even send out any useful news."
He put away the World Gate that had been placed on display, helped Barry struggling on the ground, and whispered to him:
"Don't tell others about this in advance, lest the morale of the army will be unstable."
"I know."
Barry nodded, and was supported by Mason towards the depths of Wayne Manor. He whispered:
"But Reverse Lightning told me that this world will be destroyed in five days. If the gate of the world can't take us out, wouldn't it mean that?"
"Either find a solution before the destruction comes, or die with this world."
Mason looked at Barry with a smile and said:
"What? Haven't you faced such a difficult choice before? Xiao Shan, your face looks terrible, maybe I should say something, welcome to the cruel world of adults."
"I don't understand how you can still laugh in this situation?"
Flash complained:
"Are all the people in the Stars Club so heartless?"
"I'm just more optimistic. You see, I have encountered this kind of **** more than once, and I know that it is impossible for any simple task to fall on me.
Now it seems that I and the fate of this world are tied together again. "
Mason snorted.
Looking at Damian and his clown grandma who were walking towards him with the devil's head sword in front of them.
The terrible scars on Mrs. Martha's face have almost disappeared, and she will wear a black lady's wide-brimmed soft hat and a coat and cloak like a lady walking in her own garden.
Of course, if she replaces the loaded pistol in her hand that is still emitting smoke with a bag, it will be more presentable.
"Smile, Barry, show your most charming smile, don't keep this dead face, the lady opposite doesn't like things that make people unhappy."
Mason reminded in a low voice.
But Barry just saw Mrs. Martha directing a group of thugs to kill several people with bombs. He didn't like such cold-blooded people.
No matter how beautiful or elegant the other party is, she is just a femme fatale.
Thus he complained to Mason:
"Do I have any obligation to please her?"
"First of all, her name is Martha Wayne, and she is Bruce Wayne's mother, and secondly, she is the clown of this world."
Mason explained:
"Of course you can make her angry as you like, but I hope you can be so tough when she kills you in weird ways. By the way, stay away from me, lest your blood splash on my shoes."
Mason's words made Barry's face change slightly, and when Mrs. Martha approached with his little grandson, he took the initiative to say hello:
"Hello, Mrs. Wayne, I'm a good friend of Bruce. He and I are members of the Justice League, and I actually adore your son.
I was a fan of his when I was a kid. "
"Justice League? Is that some weird boy cabaret? Is it not enough for my Bruce to choose to be Batman in another world and hang out with a bunch of weird friends?"
It seems that his life planning is really problematic.
Alas, the poor child is not good without his mother to take care of him since he was a child, and he can easily go astray. "
Old Aunt Martha looked Little Flash up and down.
The overly revealing tights on the latter made her very dissatisfied, she immediately pulled Damian a few steps away, and then told her little grandson:
"Little Bruce, you have to listen to grandma, these exhibitionists in tights are ostentatious, and they cover their cheeks and dare not show their true colors to others. There are dark secrets at first glance.
Stay away from them.
Beware of being infected by them with some kind of madness called 'justice'. "
"That's right, I also think that the people in the Justice League are not very normal."
Damian, who had just chopped down the two black-clothed assassins who broke into the Batcave, nodded approvingly. He and Mason exchanged glances, and pouted in the direction of Madam Martha.
Signaled Mason to quickly find a way to "fish" him out.
But the female clown spoke before him:
Give. "
She took out a pair of headphones and handed them to Mason, saying:
"I installed a bug on old Thomas, you can eavesdrop on their conversation."
"No need."
Mason shook his head and said:
"I bugged the old man when I first met him, but I think it might be better for us to go directly to him now. He and Oliver are in the Batcave."
He glanced at The Flash and said:
"I happen to have something to talk to the old man about."
A few minutes later, a group of people came to the bat cave below Wayne Manor.
They saw Bullseye waiting at the entrance.
The latter leaned against the wall with a sniper rifle on his back, looking unhappy, and the floating red light in the remodeled prosthetic eye was filled with a cold killing intent.
And next to Bullseye is Harley Quinn, who is chewing gum and sitting on a stone, leaning on a baseball bat as if she is leaning on a sword. Her two vicious dogs squatting at her feet seem to be watching Bullseye.
Seeing Mason approaching, the little cutie jumped up to claim credit and said:
"I chased this sneaky guy all the way here, and I stopped him from attacking the old man. Old Thomas was about to kill Black Arrow inside.
It looks like they are being tortured, that scene is too scary. "
"When did you raise this female psychopath? Boss, the taste is unique. If she hadn't stopped me, I could have shot the old lunatic and Black Arrow through the wall together.
I was all aiming. "
The secret bodyguard Bullseye gritted his teeth, folded his arms and complained to Mason:
"But this chick reminds me of the Green Goblin, she was arguing with herself just now, the quarrel was terrible, and the content was all about you.
Those discussions were so nasty, I couldn't even say it in front of my kids.
Yo, isn't this the Flash? "
Bullseye, the neurotic killer, finished complaining about Harley, and then looked at Mason's side Barry Allen, who had just regained the ability to walk, and provocatively said:
"Would you like to compare again and see who is faster this time?"
"What? Are the little boys now proud of being fast?"
Aunt Clown snorted.
She was very impatient with Bullseye's provocation, so she fired a shot at him. The bullet hit Bullseye's helmet trickily and splashed sparks. The latter was about to fight back immediately but was stopped by Mason's eyes.
He left the others here, and told Harry to watch, and then walked into the dark bat cave in front of him alone.
Just looking at the car of the old man, you can tell that the Vengeance Knight does not take the high-tech route, so there are no cool bat planes in his bat cave. This is just an ordinary cave with a large number of bats nesting above his head.
There are lights in the caves next to it, showing all kinds of "trophies" that the old man has collected in fighting crime over the years, generally with blood.
And in the center of the cave is an operating table and a rusty shadowless lamp.
At this time, Oliver Quinn, the leader of the Assassin League, was lying on the operating table. He had only his last breath left. All ten of his fingers were forcibly pinched off by the old man with surgical forceps.
There was blood everywhere on the ground, and the scene was very oozing.
Harry is right, there has just been a horrible torture here.
Thomas Wayne will be standing in front of his data wall, with his back to Mason, letting the jagged cloak cover his body, and looking up at the collected data on the wall.
When Mason approached, the old man said to him hoarsely:
"Over a month ago I heard that voice announcing to me that the 'invaders' were coming, and directed me to the Philadelphia area where I saw with my own eyes people like you pass through strange doors into our world.
It tells me that the arrival of these people interferes with the direction of this world, and you must be cleared to ensure that this world continues to survive.
In the past thirty days, I have carried out three assassinations, killing eleven people.
Oliver Quinn, who was lying there, heard that voice earlier than me. According to his account just now, so far, he and his killers have killed nearly a hundred people around the world.
Their common feature is that they have devil-like tattoos on their arms.
Every action of yours will be observed by that mysterious voice, Mason, which will provide us with accurate information about where, how many, and when you appeared in this world in advance.
Accurate to the second!
This is why your people are buried as soon as they enter here, but our killing doesn't seem to be able to prevent things from sliding to the brink of destruction.
The situation in this world is getting worse every day. "
"Did you torture him for me just now? Old man, you don't have to do this, I have a way to ask the truth without bloodshed."
Mason took out a bottle of healing potion and poured it on Oliver Quinn, who was lying on the operating table in a terrible condition. By the way, he gave him a bottle of Skeleton Spirit to heal his completely broken hand bones.
He said to the old man:
"What else did Oliver explain?"
"The identity and name of that voice."
The old man turned around.
Under the mask that was darker and more gloomy than Batman, those bloodshot eyes stared at Mason and said:
"Oliver is obviously a tough guy, but fortunately, I have been a doctor for a while, and I know how to better create pain to break through his defenses.
As for that voice
Black Arrow said it referred to itself as 'Barry Allen' in an out-of-control conversation. "
"impossible!"
The Flash, who was eavesdropping outside the cave, got up instantly.
Then, under everyone's strange gaze, he weakly shouted:
"I went to find Barry Allen in this world, he is dead, he died in the earthquake seventeen years ago, and he was an ordinary person until his death.
There is no legend of The Flash in this world. "
"But you said it yourself, there are traces of the Speed Force in this world, Barry."
Mason glanced at the excited Flash, he said:
"So is there any possibility that this world is not without The Flash, but that someone has 'erased' his life in some way?
As for Barry Allen, who died seventeen years ago.
For the speedsters, it couldn't be easier to fake this kind of death.
Now think about it, besides Barry Allen, who has been in love with Reverse Flash for countless years, who else can trap a villain speedster so easily for a period of time? "
"No, no, no, your guesses are too superficial, not deep at all!"
In the silence, Mrs. Martha shook her head with a weird smile, and said in a piercing voice:
"Is it possible that the world we live in has nothing to do with 'reality'?
Like after that horrible night on Crime Alley, I sometimes wonder if fate is playing a nasty trick on me?
Thomas said I was crazy.
But I thought, I may have been too close to the harsh truth, I may have been too conscious. "
"No, you are simply crazy, Martha, don't make excuses for your cold-blooded brutality."
The old man said quietly:
"I'm a pretty good doctor, I can tell whether your mental state is clear or not."
"There is only one way to confirm your terrible ideas."
Barry shook his head, he said seriously:
"I must use the Speed Force again to enter the special space where the Reverse Lightning is. He must know more, or I can venture through the twisted Speed Force web to see what is hidden behind the time of this world.
Without further ado, Mason, give me the medicine!
I must get well soon. "
"No! I'm the captain, listen to me! We should now"
Mason vetoed the suggestion.
He was about to express his thoughts, but then there was a noisy voice from the communicator in his ear, and he signaled for everyone to be quiet, after listening to Selena from Paradise Island and Bain from Atlantis City double reporting.
A few seconds later, Mason looked at everyone around him with a subtle expression.
He said:
"The Amazons and the Atlantis are officially at war! Just a few minutes ago, the good news is that in order to avoid the destruction of the world due to the war, the two sides are preparing to find a place for a decisive decisive battle.
The bad news is, you might as well guess, where is the place they chose for the final battle? "
