Time goes back to the past, nine hours before the game between the Joker and Curvin, Naxino City, the Titan Building, and the Flash came to the Titan Building through the explosion channel, and received the two supervillains who were lured by the Joker and accepted their past identities, Toy Man and Giant Girl, ready to send them to the shelter set up by Batman for the psychological trauma of superheroes and some supervillains like those villains in Gotham.

Through the sound blast channel, the Flash left with the toy man and the giant girl, not that the flash didn't want to directly take the toy man and the giant girl to the shelter at his own speed. He didn't know where the shelter was, last time, it was Batman who led the way, and took them directly inside the shelter, and didn't let the Flash know a specific coordinate, which was a secret location that only Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman knew, in order to protect the heroes or villains who came to receive psychological treatment to the greatest extent.

After watching the Flash leave, Cyborg is also doing his own thing, searching for the Joker's traces. It's just that the clown in the inferior purple suit appeared behind the steel skeleton in such a grand manner, humming a little song and taking light steps, while the steel skeleton with his back to the clown did not turn around, still doing his own thing, as if the clown did not exist behind him at all, there was a force that erased the perception of the things around the steel bone, making him ignore that someone was walking behind him.

The Joker stopped on the teleporter of the pop channel, looked at the buttons on it, narrowed his eyes slightly, poked his finger at his chin and pretended to think, and then poked back and forth a few times on a few buttons, and the closed pop channel opened, and disappeared with the Joker in the Titan Building. As the clown was teleported away, the semblematic perception of the erased perception came back online, looking at the closed pop channel behind him with confusion.

"Did anyone use the pop channel just now?" With a little doubt, Steelbone continued his work, since there was no warning from the security and his electronic perception, it was probably his own human part that was suspicious.

In the Unknowable, a shelter disguised as a farmhouse stands tall in a golden field, if not known to itself as a shelter used to heal the psychological wounds of superheroes and supervillains. Everything here is quiet, combined with the scenery, like a paradise. It's just that in the true face of the shelter under this farmhouse used for camouflage, the three generations of Flashes from the old 52 universe who were rescued by Cowen, the fastest man in the world in the real sense, Wally West, are also experiencing their worst day.

It was still the sky that turned red, and on this day when the sun was still rising, he was doing the Flash's daily routine, preparing dinner for his wife and children at night, and the world was destroyed. The people around him, one by one, disappeared into pieces, the comrades-in-arms who fought side by side, the world's most powerful superhero, the greatest detective was helpless in such a crisis, and disappeared into pieces, and finally he was left.

He returned home and repeated the powerless act, wrapping his wife and children with speed, trying to save them from the danger of the destruction of this world. Although Wally knew that none of this was true, that it was a reality that had already happened and could not be changed, the illusion that this shelter had created in his own memories was so realistic that even if Wally knew that it was an illusion, he couldn't get out of it, and he just did useless things over and over again.

According to Wally's memories of the destruction of the old universe, the shelter is constantly adjusting and correcting what happened, so that Wally can say goodbye to the past, and then come out of the shadows and face life again. Just like this time, according to the illusion created by Wally, Wally still did not save his wife and children this time, the children disappeared, only his wife remained, and he was also on the verge of disappearing, but this time, the phantom of his wife created by Wally's memory also said goodbye to his husband with tears.

"Wally, stop, it's time for you to leave."

"Nope! Linda, trust me, I can save you! "Creating a storm of speed force, the speed force flows through Linda's phantom, trying to maintain Linda's gradually crumbling body, and at the same time roaring unwillingly.

"I know, dear, you can always save everyone, in a split second, but there are always exceptions, and that's enough. Now you're left alive, don't die, Wally, if you die too, it's all over, and no one will remember our existence, so you have to live. ”

Even if it is a phantom, his personality and tone are no different from the lover in Wally's mind, and Wally understands that this is what his wife will say, not what he wants his wife to say. The illusion construction of the shelter is so terrifying, the past it restores is real, not simply explained by a fantasy, which is why everyone can't get out of the illusion as soon as they enter it, you know it's all fake, but it's so real that you forget the fact that it's false.

"No, I can, Linda, I can save you!" Wally was still repeating it, but the facts of what had happened were in front of him, and his beloved wife was also collapsing.

"Goodbye Wally, live."

With tears in his eyes, Wally's wife's phantom also completely collapsed in front of him, and Wally's salvation was once again useless, only this time, his wife said goodbye to him and told him to live well. The scene of the destruction of the world slowly disappeared, and the illusion that was constructed also returned to reality, still showing in front of the old 52 Wally who kept running, was surrounded by four cold walls, the sprinting Wally slowly stopped, and the storm of speed force created around him slowly dispersed, and finally only a single figure of himself remained, unable to kneel on the ground.

"Don't leave me alone, please."

Kneeling on the ground, Wally looked around and cried there, the illusion was over and he had to face reality again, it was a nascent universe. Everything he had to do here would have to start all over again, even if everyone here remembered him.

"Hah! Rachel is dead because of you guys! Because you turned a blind eye to crime, she didn't deserve to die like this, Gordon, you should pay the price! ”

"Mine! It's all mine! I'm the king of Gotham! ”

"Pudding~ My pudding, what do you say our child should be called?"

Just as Wally was saddened by what he had lost, next to him, in the other vacant rooms, voices rang out, someone like himself, going through the worst day of the past, or immersing himself in the reality he wanted most. It's just that in the end, whether it is good or bad, the dream will be shattered, and they will have to go through what they have experienced to face their worst day.

With a tired body, Wally of the old 52 universe took off his battle uniform and walked up from the underground of the shelter. At this time, the metal team robot disguised as a human also came up to help Wally and took him to the side of the sofa to rest.

"Who are they," asked Mr. Gold, who was made of gold, sitting there, draped in a blanket, and Wally also put on an artificial skin next to him to disguise a highly intelligent robot.

"The Flash and Green Lantern were brought in from Gotham, and like you, they seem to have a memory problem and are being treated for correction."

Memory-wise? Is it the victim of the memory rebirth turmoil that I caused, the guilt in Wally's heart is also a little heavier, because he once fell into paranoia, he wanted to use the speed of power to go back to the past and modify a certain time node to get everything back on track, if it wasn't for Kewen, the Flash and the new universe themselves tried their best to block it, and it was another flashpoint crisis, but the flashpoint stopped, and all the memories of the old universe in his mind were also released, affecting the whole world.

"I'm tired, can you pour me a cup of coffee?"

"Here," for Wally's request, the metal man with high intelligence did not refuse, he understood the feelings of the Flash in front of him very well, just repairing the psychological environment in the shelter every day, Wally has experienced no less than dozens of times, even if it is iron, he has to collapse in such an environment, but he didn't, it is enough to show how sad he is in his heart. With that, the metal man named Mr. Gold left to find his companion.

It was only when Mr. Gold left, that the farmhouse, which was disguised, fell into an eerie silence, a silence in which only the wind-blown waves of wheat echoed in Wally's ears. Wally, who was waiting for the coffee to be delivered, also frowned at this time, isn't this cup of coffee a little long?

"Mr. Gold, are you still there?"

Wally's response was another voice, and Wally's unexpectedly faced, with a pale face, pink facial muscles looming on the skin, and a cup of coffee in his hand, as he walked out of the slightly dimly lit kitchen.

"He's here, just taking a break, your coffee ~Flash~"

"Joker!"

When he saw the clown appear here, Wally also stood up directly, even in this new universe that has lost everything, Wally has not forgotten the horror of the clown. He understands more that the clown appears here, how dangerous it is to those who are escorted here for psychological treatment, but when Wally stood up and was about to use the speed force to subdue the clown, he also felt the weakness of his hands and feet, and sat back on the sofa, looking at the clown who walked in front of him, his eyes were angry.

"Hey, hey, relax, it's just a little neurorelaxant, I evaporated it into gas, and you absorbed it, well, according to the perverted metabolism speed of the speedsters, I think it won't take a few minutes to be excreted from your body, and then, you're the fastest person in the world, come, drink the coffee first."

Unknowingly, Wally, who fell into the clown's trap, wanted to resist, but after inhaling a large amount of muscle relaxant, he couldn't even lift a finger. He sat slumped on the couch, his posture a little ugly, but the clown helped him adjust his position, and just broke Wally's mouth with the coffee that had been brewed and poured him in.

The hot coffee directly scalded a layer of skin on Wally's palate, and then entered the stomach, and these injuries would be quickly recovered under the action of the speed force, but before that, Wally had nothing but to watch the clown act recklessly on himself. Sorting out the folds on Wally's body, the clown also sat down in front of Wally, took care of his hairstyle, and then looked at Wally, who was glaring at him, and said there.

"Yes, yes, I know I'm charming, you don't have to look at me like that, and as for why I'm here, well, I'm the most knowledgeable person in the world about Batboy. If you want to play a game with him, first of all, you have to be passable, so let's skip each other's nonsense and get straight to the point? ”

"What do you want to say!" Wally looked directly at the Joker, unable to resist, and could only express his attitude in this state.

"What I want to say is what is in your heart," he said, pointing to himself and then to Wally, "I know what you're going through right now, you've lost everything, your loved ones, your children, your parents, your universe. Even though this memory storm has swept the whole world, but only your world is still so incomplete, Linda Parker is still the same Linda Parker, in her memory, there is no you, otherwise I think she should appear at the Flash Museum in Canterlot at this time, looking for the help of the Flash, to help herself find her husband, right, for her, becoming a husband and wife with the Flash is just a spring dream. ”

The Joker's words hit Wally's fragile heart, during this time in the shelter, he continued to struggle in the illusion created by his memory, the more he struggled, the more he understood the person he cared about, he couldn't come back at all, the superheroes of this world remembered themselves, but they were born with this new universe after all, and thus reborn as individuals, this is just a life that belongs to the past universe.

They can help themselves, they want to get out of this haze and face a new life, that's right. But some things, some people, everything that belongs to him, has never come back.

"Obviously, you know what I'm talking about, look here, what is this, oh, shelter, they feel like you need shelter, but do you really need it, do you really need these things? I think you have the answer in your own mind. He pointed to the disguised farmhouse, where the clown was commenting.

Wally didn't answer, because the clown was right, no matter how beautiful this farmhouse was, no matter how beautiful the environment was, in his heart, he still just wanted to live in the family of four with his wife and children in Canterlot, but it had become a ruin in his heart.

"How do you know all this, including my story?"

"It's also because of you, those memories let me know how much fun I had with Batboy in the previous universe, and I love this infinite loop game. But now, there is someone who wants to break this game, break the rules of this game, and it makes me angry, but don't worry, it's my game with him, I'm here, I just want to repay you, you made me more aware of my position, and I know how important I am to Batboy, so I'm here just to help you. ”

"Help me something!"

"Help you face a reality once and for all," the clown stepped forward, looked at Wally, and said there, "They made everything to make you face the darkest moment in your heart, and then constantly modify it, make you gradually numb, make you think that it will all be okay, and then you can face a new life." But deep down, you deeply understand that all this will not get better, and what you have lost will never be recovered! The reason why you are suffering is because you feel that you are the only one who survived, and did not dissipate with your family in that lost universe. ”

Wally wanted to refute, but he couldn't say a word, and he didn't know how to refute the Joker's arguments. It would be nice if he hadn't been saved, Wally thought in his heart at this time, if he hadn't asked for help, but had just assimilated into a part of the speed force under the tearing of the speed force, there wouldn't have been so much pain, if, that Kamen Rider named Curvin didn't save himself, it would be good if, if, if, if, Wally's heart echoed with such a voice.

"It seems that you have listened to what I have said, so in return, I will give you a chance to find the answer."

"What do you want to tell me?"

"Oh, I can't tell you anything, you're the Speedster, the fastest person in the world, and you know the most about timeline sensibilities. You only pay attention to the memory turmoil from the old universe that you have brought, but you don't take a good look at this new universe," said the clown, got up, walked behind Wally, and whispered in his ear: "Now, activate your speedster mind, go and see what has happened to the timeline of this new universe, look carefully, maybe, you can find the answer, the answer to solving the puzzle is often hidden in the puzzle, then, goodbye~"

Looking at the time on his watch, the Joker also knew that the effect of the muscle relaxant on Wally had passed, and Wally could break his neck at any moment. But he didn't, he was lost in thought because of his words, and his body began to blur, because he was vibrating himself to explore everything that happened in the timeline of the new universe, and the Joker's last words gave Wally motivation.

He began to mumble to himself, "Answer," and was immersed in the timeline of exploring the new universe, the time line that had changed since the Justice League repelled Darkseid's first attack. Not noticing the Joker's departure at all, the Joker looked at Wally, who had entered a state of speed, and with a smile, slowly disappeared into the darkness, disappearing into this shelter, taking his light steps, the rhythmic footsteps slowly disappeared, and everything returned to its original state.

In the shelter below, the villains from Gotham who were affected by the rebirth of the memories of the old universe are still experiencing what happened, the metal robot in charge of the vigilance has also recovered from the midway, and Wally has also got up from the couch, muttering words, and walking towards the stairs leading to the underground shelter.

Time back to the present, in the city of Naxino in the middle of the night, located on the top floor of the knight's studio building, Superman, Batman, Kewen, Dick looked at the clown in front of him who twisted his neck and committed suicide, and fell into a stupor for a while, and then Kewen, who was the first to react, directly isolated the area where the clown committed suicide with an isolation circle. He probably knows a little bit about the so-called clown virus, killing the clown will become the next clown, although he doesn't know if it's true or not, there is no problem with being careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years.

After isolating the Joker's body, Curvin also asks Batman and Superman, "Where is the Lightning Kid, you know who I'm talking about!" ”

"Cyborg! Open the pop channel and follow the coordinates I'm sending you now! For Cowen's questioning, Batman is also very aware of the seriousness of the matter, and there is no secrecy at this time, he has experienced the fall of his friends once before and does not want to experience it again.

"Nightwing, contact The Flash and get him along! The situation is urgent! ”

Before he could tell Dick, the steel skeleton far away in the Titan Building opened the blast channel to the shelter at the first time, and Kewen, Superman and Batman disappeared directly into the blast channel. Rushing to the shelter as fast as possible, Kewen didn't have time to wonder why Batman had set up a base in such a place that he didn't know about, and under the guidance of Batman and Superman, Kewen also went to the underground shelter and saw the old 52 Wally who was breaking away from the illusion.

After seeing Wally's calm face detached from the illusion, Kewen and Superman were also relieved, except for Batman, looking at the old 52 Wally at this time. Having experienced the worst day, he could feel the same breath from Wally at this time. "Is everything alright, Wally?"

Looking at Wally, Batman also asked, for Batman's inquiry, Kewen and Superman both showed puzzled expressions, but after seeing Batman's staring gaze, they couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts, looked at Wally, and began to be apprehensive.

"Is everything alright? No, Bruce, nothing is going well, I appreciate you for all the effort," Wally, with his head down, once again out of the illusion, said there, then looked up at the few people who appeared in front of him at this time, and finally his eyes lingered on Curvin.

"Kewen, I can call you that."

"Always, Wally, you're alright."

"I'm fine, I just have a question for you, I hope you can answer me."

"You say."

"You said you were going to break this cycle so that the universe could run like this without repeating it, so that it could change the tragedy of everyone, right?"

"Hmm."

"So, what about my tragedy, have you thought about how to change it?"

Such a question made Curvin stunned, not knowing how to answer, and Wally got the answer.

"Yes, I don't think you know, none of you can know, you just told me to come out and face this new life, but I don't want to face this new life without me, I can only find the answer I want!"

As he spoke, yellow lightning flashed wildly through Wally's body, and began to fill the entire shelter, affecting everyone else, including those who were still experiencing the illusion at this time. Wally's change caught Kewen unexpected, at this time he understood that no matter what Wally was doing, he had to stop him, and without thinking too much, the Ghost drive appeared on his waist, and at the same time, the Flash Eye Soul appeared in his hand, so he directly dressed and transformed.

At the same time, the Flash, who set off from Canterlot after learning the news, also appeared in the shelter at the same time, and the two rushed towards Wally, who was close at hand, and Wally, who was surging with speed, also completely released his speed. A huge light at this moment illuminates the entire shelter as well as the farmhouse on top as a camouflage!
