Chapter 272 70. Barry Allen is about to murder Barry Allen - Monthly ticket extra · Happy Lantern Festival [1725]
"You said Reverse Flash came here for time?"
The answer from Barry was beyond Mason's imagination, leaving him stunned. Then he seemed to understand. He looked at Barry and said:
"Can you be more specific? What means is he planning to use to 'steal' time?"
"It's hard for me to explain, Mason."
The Flash's wounds healed under the influence of potions and self-healing power. The process was uncomfortable and made him gasp for breath. He tried his best to explain:
"This is just a metaphor.
I didn't see who Reverse Flash attacked with my own eyes, but he kept running in a special space, and I could feel that the speed network in this world was being distorted by him.
But he is definitely not trying to absorb the Speed Force, he is trying to get the things protected by the Speed Force network.
He must defeat them before he can advance further.
The reason why I say he is 'stealing' time is because I can feel that the time in this world flows abnormally, and the timeline is distorted into a rather strange appearance.
I guess this was caused by the interference he brought. ”
"I don't have the Speed Force-enhanced mind to keep up with your leaping ideas."
Mason paused and said:
"You have to explain clearly, how does time flow in this world?"
"Time is not linear here."
Barry's fingers turned in the air, bringing up a weak light spot, and he said:
"When I was chased by Reverse Flash, I wanted to hide in time. This is a very effective strategy for speedsters when fighting, but I failed. I cannot go back or advance time in this world.
No matter how fast you run, it won't work.
Even if I want to leave here and return to our world, I can't. It's like there is a wall blocking the connection between the two worlds.
I'm pretty sure Reverse-Flash can't leave either.
He was trapped too.
He attacked me before as if he wanted to capture the traces of time and space interference on my body and escape from here. This is definitely not a problem with the Speed Force, but a problem with the world itself. ”
At this point, probably to strengthen his persuasiveness, Barry said:
"If my theory is correct, then your world gate should be unusable. You haven't tried it yet, right?"
“You’ll know after you try it.”
Mason pinched out his Club of Stars ID card,
He brushed this thing on the door of a nearby house, and its wooden door lock was immediately replaced by a brass handle and exquisite world scales.
He glanced at Barry, turned the doorknob to the position of Gotham World, and then pushed it back slightly, the familiar starlight reflection still appeared in front of his eyes.
But before Mason stepped into it, a swift stream of light came from a distance.
With a whooshing sound, he rushed into the door of the world pushed open by Mason, and then.
"Bang"
There was a muffled sound.
The guy who tried to escape through the World Gate crashed directly into the wall of the utility room next to the garden. The impact was so strong that it even made a large hole in the shape of a dancing man in the opposite wall.
It looks like some kind of nonsensical operation that only unscientific animated characters would do.
This embarrassing scene left both Mason and Flash stunned.
"Reverse Flash!"
Barry exclaimed and was about to step forward to arrest him, but as soon as he stood up, he stumbled to the ground. Reverse-Flash, who was obviously embarrassed and angry, turned around and punched him several times, causing him to fly into the air and then turn over and fall to the ground.
Merlin reacted very quickly, drew his gun and fired, but the ugly Reverse-Flash didn't give him any time to aim.
The whooshing sound disappeared just as he came, leaving only the whistling 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 pass through obstacles such as walls without leaving a trace through the high-speed resonance of body molecules, and there will be no such situation as "unable to stop the car".
But the destroyed wall in front of him cannot be faked. It seems that Barry Allen's guess is correct.
Not only is Reverse Flash trapped here, but he is also suspected of being interfered with the normal operation of the Speed Force.
Mason stood in front of the swaying starry door of the world, took a step forward, and then appeared from the other side of the door. He looked back at the still shining starlight behind him and frowned completely.
"It seems that only entry and exit are allowed here. Only the communication is still open. No wonder they sent people before but couldn't send even a trace of useful information."
He put away the door to the world that had become a decoration, then helped Barry, who was struggling on the ground, and whispered to him:
"Don't tell others this in advance, lest the morale of the army be unstable."
"I know."
Barry nodded and was supported by Mason towards the depths of Wayne Manor. He whispered:
"But Reverse Flash told me that this world will be destroyed in five days. If the World Gate cannot take us out, doesn't that mean"
"Either find a solution before destruction comes, or die with the world."
Mason looked at Barry with a smile and said:
"What? Have you never faced such a difficult choice before? Xiaofeng, your face looks terrible. Maybe I should say, welcome to the cruel world of adults."
"I don't understand how you can still laugh in this situation?"
The Flash complained:
"Are all the people in the Star Club so heartless?"
"I'm just optimistic. You see, I have encountered this kind of bad thing more than once, and I know that there is no simple task that falls on me.
Now it seems that I am tied to the fate of this world again. ”
Mason snorted.
He looked at Damian and his clown grandma who were walking towards him with the Devil's Head Saber in front of him.
The terrible scars on Lady Martha's face have almost disappeared, and she now wears a black lady's broad-brimmed bonnet and a coat and cloak, just like a lady walking in her garden.
Of course, it would be more presentable if the loaded pistol still emitting smoke in her hand was replaced by a handbag.
"Smile, Barry, show your most charming smile, don't keep this dead face, the lady opposite doesn't like to make people unhappy."
Mason reminded in a low voice.
But Barry had just witnessed Mrs. Martha directing a group of thugs to kill several people with bombs. He had no good impression of such cold-blooded people.
No matter how beautiful or elegant the other person is, she is just a femme fatale.
So 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. Secondly, she is the clown of this world."
Mason explains:
"Of course you can make her angry at will, but I hope you can be so tough when she kills her in weird ways, and stay away from me to avoid your blood splattering on my shoes."< br>
Mason's words made Barry's face change slightly. When Mrs. Martha held her grandson's hand and approached, he took the initiative to say hello and said:
"Hello, Mrs. Wayne, I'm a good friend of Bruce. He and I are both members of the Justice League, and I actually admire your son.
I was a fan of his as a kid. ”
"Justice League? Is that some strange men's song and dance group? My Bruce chose to become Batman in another world. It's not enough for him, but he actually has to hang out with a group of weird friends?
It seems that his life plan is really problematic.
Alas, the poor child cannot do well without his mother's care since he was a child, and he can easily go astray. ”
Old Aunt Martha looked Little Flash up and down.
She was dissatisfied with the latter's overly revealing tights. She immediately pulled Damian a few steps away and warned her little grandson:
"Little Bruce, you have to listen to grandma. These exhibitionists in tight clothes are walking around the city, and they cover their faces and dare not show their true colors. They have dark secrets at a glance.
Stay away from them.
Be careful that they are infected with some kind of mad disease called ‘justice’. ”
"That's true. I also think the people in the Justice League are not normal."
Damian, who had just personally beheaded two black-clad assassins who broke into the Batcave, nodded in agreement. He and Mason looked at each other, and then pursed their lips in the direction of Mrs. Martha.
Signaling Mason to quickly think of a way to "fish" him out.
But the female clown spoke one step ahead of him:
"I just saw Thomas rescue Black Arrow Oliver from your men. This is your chance, Mason. If you want to know the secrets Thomas is hiding, you can't waste your time now.
Give. ”
She took out a pair of headphones and handed them to Mason and said:
"I put a bug on old Thomas so you can eavesdrop on their conversation."
"No need."
Mason shook his head and said:
"I put a bug on the old man when we first met, 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 just have something to discuss with the old man."
A few minutes later, the group arrived at the Batcave beneath Wayne Manor.
They saw Bullseye waiting at the entrance.
The latter was leaning against the wall with a sniper rifle on his back, looking unhappy. The red light floating in his modified prosthetic eyes was filled with a cold killing intent.
Next to Bullseye was Harley Quinn, who was chewing gum and sitting on a rock, holding a baseball bat like a sword. Her two vicious dogs squatted at her feet and seemed to be watching Bullseye.
When she saw Mason coming, the little cutie immediately jumped up to take credit and said:
"I chased this sneaky guy all the way here. He wanted to sneak attack the old man, but I stopped him. Old Thomas almost beat Black Arrow to death inside.
It was like being tortured. The scene was terrible. ”
"When did you raise this crazy woman? Boss, she has a unique taste. If she hadn't stopped me, I could have blasted the head of the old madman inside with the black arrow through the wall.
I was taking aim. ”
The secret bodyguard Bullseye bared his teeth, crossed his arms and complained to Mason:
"But this girl reminds me of the Green Goblin. She was quarreling with herself just now. It was a fierce quarrel, and the content was all related to you.
Those discussions were so obscene that I didn’t dare speak out in front of my children.
Yo, isn't this The Flash? ”
After Bullseye, the psychotic killer, finished complaining about Harley, he looked meaningfully at Barry Allen next to Mason, who had just regained the ability to walk. He stretched out his hand and said provocatively:
"Would you like to compete again to see who is faster this time?"
"What? Are today's little boys proud of being fast?"
Aunt Clown snorted.
She was impatient of Bullseye's provocation and fired a shot at him. The bullet hit Bullseye's helmet very cleverly and caused sparks. The latter was about to fight back but was stopped by Mason's look.
He left the others here, and told Harley to keep an eye on it, and then walked alone into the dim Batcave in front of him.
Just by looking at the old man's car, you can tell that the Revenge Knight does not take a high-tech route, so there is no cool bat plane in his bat cave. It is just an ordinary cave with a large number of bats nesting above his head.
In the nearby caves, lights illuminated the various "trophies" that the old man had collected from fighting crime over the years, and they were generally stained with blood.
In the center of the cave is an operating table and a rusty shadowless lamp.
At this time, Oliver Queen, the leader of the League of Assassins, was lying on the operating table. He was breathing his last breath. All ten of his fingers were cut off by the old man with surgical forceps.
There was blood everywhere on the ground, and the scene was very visceral.
Harley was right, a horrific torture had just occurred here.
Thomas Wayne was standing in front of his data wall. He turned his back to Mason and let his jagged cloak cover his body. He looked up at the collected data on the wall.
As Mason approached, the old man said to him in a mute voice:
"Over a month ago I heard the voice that announced to me that 'invaders' were coming and directed me to the Philadelphia area where I witnessed people like you passing through the strange doors into our world.
It tells me that the arrival of these people has interfered with the direction of this world, and you must be eliminated to ensure that this world continues to survive.
In the past thirty days, I have carried out three assassinations, killing eleven people.
Oliver Queen, who was lying there, heard that voice earlier than I did. According to what he just said, he and his killers have killed nearly a hundred people around the world so far.
Their common feature is that they all have devil-like tattoos on their arms.
Every action you take will be observed by that mysterious voice, Mason, and it will provide us with accurate information in advance about your location, number of people, and time of your appearance in this world.
Accurate to the second!
This is why your people will be buried as soon as they enter here, but our killings don't seem to be able to prevent things from sliding to the brink of destruction.
The world is getting worse every day. ”
"Did you just help me torture him? Old Master, actually you don't have to do this. I have a way to find out the truth without bloodshed."
Mason took out a bottle of healing potion and poured it into Oliver Queen, who was lying on the operating table in a bad condition. At the same time, he poured a bottle of bone spirit into him to treat his completely broken hand bone.
He said to the old man:
"What else did Oliver confess?"
"The identity and name of that voice."
The old man turned around.
Under a mask that was darker and more gloomy than Batman, those bloodshot eyes stared at Mason and said:
"Oliver is obviously a stubborn guy, but fortunately I have been a doctor for a while, and I know how to inflict pain better to break through his defenses.
As for that voice
Black Arrow said it once referred to itself as 'Barry Allen' in a conversation that got out of control. ”
"Impossible!"
The Flash, who was eavesdropping outside the cave, stood up instantly.
Then under everyone's strange gaze, he weakly shouted:
"I went to find Barry Allen in this world. He is already dead. He died in the big earthquake that happened seventeen years ago, and he was an ordinary person until his death.
There is no Flash legend 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 and said:
"So is it possible that there is no Flash in this world, but that someone has 'erased' his life in some way?
As for Barry Allen, who died seventeen years ago.
For a speedster, it would be extremely easy to fake such a death.
Now think about it, except for Barry Allen, who has been in love with Reverse-Flash for countless years, who else could so easily trap a villain Speedster for a period of time? ”
"No, no, no, your speculations are too superficial and not profound at all!"
In the silence, Mrs. Martha shook her head with a weird smile, and said in a permeating voice:
"Is it possible that the world we live in has nothing to do with 'reality'?
Just like after that terrible night in Crime Alley, I often wonder if this was a bad joke played by fate on me?
Thomas said I was crazy.
But I think I may be too close to the cruel truth, I may be too sober. ”
"No, you are simply crazy, Martha, don't give yourself any excuse for your cold-blooded violence."
The old man said quietly:
"I'm a pretty good doctor. I can tell whether you are mentally alert or not."
"There is only one way to prove your terrible thoughts."
Barry shook his head and said seriously:
"I must use the Speed Force again to enter the special space where Reverse Flash is. He must know more, or I can risk traveling through the twisted Speed Force network to see what is hidden behind the time of this world.
Without further ado, Mason, give me the medicine!
I had to get better immediately. ”
"No! I am the captain, listen to me! We should now"
Mason rejected the suggestion.
He was about to express his thoughts, but then a noisy voice sounded from the communicator in his ear. He motioned for everyone to be quiet and listened to Selina from Paradise Island and Bain from Atlantis City. dual reporting.
A few seconds later, Mason looked at everyone around him with a subtle expression.
He said:
"The Amazons and Atlanteans have officially started a war! Just a few minutes ago, the good news is that in order to prevent the world from being destroyed by war, both of them are preparing to find a place for an open and aboveboard decisive battle.
The bad news is, you might as well take a guess, where is the place they chose for the decisive battle? "(End of Chapter)
