Chapter 193: Searching
Although the company, the mother's company makes Barry feel happy and feels like he is back in his childhood. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 But the news of this world is constantly reminding Barry that this is not the place he should be, that the world is very different from the one he knows.
From the continuous news reports, it is known that humanity in Europe was almost drawn into the Third World War, and the people who caused such a huge riot were none other than two of Barry's acquaintances: Aquaman Arthur and Wonder Woman Diana. When he first heard the full story, Barry couldn't believe his ears, how could they be the backbone members of the Justice League, and how could they become the culprits of the world chaos here?
Seeing his former companions killing each other, he, the 'conscience of the Justice League', felt unbearable. So he had to find the reason as soon as possible and figure out the nature of this world. It's best to find Superman, but Superman isn't the Superman Barry is familiar with, and Superman isn't a reporter for Daily Planet, nor is he the guardian of Metropolis. So head to Gotham City next door to find Batman, and Barry must determine what the hell is going on?
Why was the center of the metropolis smashed out of a crater, and why Superman didn't stop Aquaman and Diana from going to war. Barry has so many questions that he wants someone to answer.
However, all he saw was ruins, Wayne's luxurious manor was in a dilapidated state, and Barry walked uneasily into the ruins, seeing only dust and cobwebs, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.
Fortunately, the entrance to the Batcave was still in place, and although the mechanism was broken, the hidden door was loose, and Barry pried open the secret door of the Batcave.
"God, I hope Batman is still here. Descending the gloomy mossy stone steps, a musty moisture hit his face, and Barry couldn't help but frown, and the unease became more and more serious. Because the Bat Cave in his memory is not like this, the Bat Cave should be a dream base full of modern high-tech products, cleaned by Alfred on weekdays, with Batcars, Batmobiles, Batfighters, Batboats and other cutting-edge vehicles that even the Flash would envy and hate.
And now in front of Barry are scattered waste newspapers, trap-like empty wine bottles. Walking to the location where Batman originally housed the bat computer, there were only a few pitiful furnishings under the lights.
An operating table, bedside table, desk, and some lighting tools. On the desk is a family portrait of the Wayne family of three, as well as a pistol protected by a glass cover.
"Batman, what's happened to you again?" Seeing the picture completely contrary to the memory, Barry's anxiety at this time has reached a critical point, and the joy of reuniting with his mother has been replaced by a crisis.
However, one thing can be proven, and that is that Thomas, like his son, is unwelcoming to guests, especially uninvited visitors to the Batcave. So he spotted Barry and sneaked up from behind, giving Barry a blow to the spine.
Originally a doctor, Thomas showed his skills in dealing with medical troubles and dealt Barry a heavy blow.
Throwing himself on the ground, Barry hurriedly rolled into a ball, ignoring the pain and said, "Batman, it's me." ”
However, Thomas doesn't know Barry: "Who are you and why are you here. Picking Barry up was another punch and kick, and Barry's face was swollen.
"Bruce, it's me Barry Allen. Barry endures Batman's stormy beatings, but also hopes to make Batman remember himself: "I'm The Flash, the fastest man in the world." ”
Hearing his son's name, Thomas was furious, he thought that Barry was deliberately trying to disturb his mind, so he grabbed Barry's fingers and broke them hard: "You have ten chances to answer my question, who are you and why do you know here?"
"Bruce, it's really me, don't you know me?" Barry found out that Batman was really going to break his fingers, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead. In fact, he has found that this Batman is different from the Batman he knows, the black armor of Batman in front of him is more flamboyant and has more raised horns, while the armor of the Batman he knows is sleek and more secretive.
"Bruce is dead!" Barry's fingers cut off as he spoke.
With a click, Barry's right index finger had been broken and bent backwards, making Barry's face pale in pain. However, when he heard that Batman was dead, Barry also knew that the Batman in front of him was really not his own, and then he reasoned out everything: "No, you are Thomas Wayne, Bruce's father, and it was Bruce who was shot back then?" This strange thing made Barry look confused, and he really didn't know how to evaluate this unscientific change. Everything is different, his mother is alive, Arthur and Diana have become war criminals and mortal enemies, Batman's identity is also different, he has no speed power, this world is definitely not the world he knows, absolutely not.
Batman observes Barry's expression and sees that the handsome young blonde guy seems to have encountered the biggest setback of his life, and his eyes are full of fear. His son is estimated to be about his age if he is alive, and he seems to really know his son and thinks that his son is Batman.
Thomas let go of Barry, "Calm down, tell me everything." It could be about his dead son, and Thomas was very concerned: "Take a deep breath, Barry Allen. ”
Barry's left hand reached into his pocket and wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, but he felt the uniform ring he had been looking for: "My memory is not confused, I really have this ring." But after activation, it was not the red uniform of the Flash, but the yellow uniform of the reverse lightning: "Impossible?!"
"Is there a deviation from your memory again?" Batman has already made a series of bold guesses, he feels that the Flash's memory is real, and there really is an Earth in the world where his son survived, so he wants to restore that world.
"It's the uniform of the reverse lightning, not mine. "I think I know what's wrong with the world. ”
Batman also knew: "It seems that he must hate you very much, so he deliberately left the uniform to let you know that everything is his doing, that he wants to destroy the world you are familiar with, and you can't do anything about it." ”
What can Barry say, Reverse Lightning's attachment and hatred of himself are rare in the world, and he can only bear it: "I must correct the crimes committed by Reverse Lightning." At this time, Barry did not know that this was not the cauldron of reverse lightning, but his own, and it was his saving mother that caused a series of changes.
Well, Thomas decided to assist the Flash, because he also didn't like the world where his son died, and if he could keep his son alive, he would be willing to die in his place: "What are you going to do?"
First of all, of course, to recover the speed force, and then go to his comrades to surround and fight against the lightning together, beating him all over the ground and looking for teeth: "I need some chemicals, I think you should be able to find them." ”
Although Thomas does not take the high-tech route, he still has money, and mastering the smuggling channels can naturally find the chemicals that the Flash needs.
Everything is ready, only lightning is owed.
However, before Barry was about to sit in the electric chair, Gotham City TV broadcast an important news that the Joker appeared and hijacked several flights, and she asked the TV station to tell Superman: "Show your powers, Superman! or these people will fall, hahahahaha-"
