8. Goodbye Barry
The Eye of Repentance is not omnipotent, really... As long as you've been through enough, you'll always come across one or two oddities.
Two hours later, at the entrance of the Central City West District Hospital, a luxury Bentley stopped on the side of the road, and Chas Chandler, a veteran driver wearing a very funny suit, opened the door for Seber who was sitting in the back seat, but Seber had a calm face and didn't want to come out, until Felichti, who had changed his clothes, was forced to pull off the car.
"You're not going to regret it again, are you?"
Felicity looked at Cyber suspiciously, "You promised me!"
"According to the plan, you should have been sent home in an urn by now!"
Cyber glanced indifferently at the smiling glasses lady, "I really didn't expect that there would be a spotless white lotus like you in this materialistic world... It's amazing. ”
"Of course!"
Felicity straightened her chest proudly and pushed her glasses, "Miss Ben is naturally very powerful. ”
Of course, the glasses lady is powerful, she is the only ordinary person who is completely immune to the Eye of Repentance to burn the soul, because in her past life, she has reached something that 99% of people can't do, in the past 25 years, there has not been a single evil in this girl's life, it is like a pure lotus flower that comes out of the mud and is not stained, even if Johnny Blazer, the genuine Ghost Rider, comes over, there is no way to hurt her.
Of course, just from the point of view of the Eye of Repentance, in addition, Cyber has 100 ways to easily make her disappear from this world, but that would not be Cyber, he is a villain, yes, but he has his own bottom line.
Cyber looked at the triumphant glasses lady, he shook his head and coughed lightly,
"Don't forget, move to Gotham in 2 days, the docklands have prepared a complete laboratory and all the equipment you need, little beauty, you may have forgotten one thing. ”
He reached out and grabbed Felicity's waist unceremoniously, slapped her upturned buttocks hard, and whispered in her ear,
"You're a member of the Devil's Gang now, use your wisdom to serve me, but I'm curious... What is your relationship with Barry Allen, and is it worth your dedication to him?"
Cyber let go of the glasses lady who was already crimson, and reached out to pick up her round chin, "Could it be that he is the girl of your dreams?"
"Don't talk nonsense! And don't touch me! I'm just your employee..."
The glasses lady opened Cyber's finger, and after being forcibly asked by Cyber to become a member of the Devil's Gang, her fear of facing Cyber dissipated a lot, and in front of someone who knew everything about your past life, that strange sense of closeness also made her fear of Cyber completely disappear, and she walked into the hospital with Cyber, pushed the burgundy glasses, and told her relationship with Barry.
"I was a classmate with him for a while, and 3 years ago, when he was on a business trip to Star City, he saved my life from a gang of robbers. ”
The glasses lady was still a little scared when she talked about the incident, she gestured on her stomach, "It really saved my life, the knife had already pierced me in the abdomen at that time, if it wasn't for him, I would be long gone now, so I have to help him do this... If anything, he's too pathetic. ”
"Pathetic?"
Cyber shook his head, "He lost his mother, but he still has his father, he still has his own life, he has his own career, and he has friends like you, he still has a goal to fight for, and I can save him from his damned fate, such a person, you say he is pitiful?"
"Huh"
Cyber lowered his voice, his gaze under his sunglasses swept over the ordinary people in the hall in front of him, and finally stopped at the seriously ill patients, "These people, they can obviously have their own lives, but they have been abandoned by fate... All their struggles, all their meaningless, simply because they are sick, and the saddest thing is that they can't resist all this..."
He turned his head and looked at Felicity, "So tell me... Who's really pitiful?"
Cyber didn't need Felichti's answer, he sighed and walked forward,
"There's no one in the world who is truly pitiful, and neither is Barry Allen... No, he's hesitating, Felicity, if he had made up his mind, he would have come to me himself, not you. I never save people who don't know how to save themselves, and this time it's because of you! ”
"So you'd better show your worth quickly, otherwise... I'll be upset. ”
Outside the ICU door, a black sheriff looked at Barry in the care unit with a worried face, the poor boy was struck by lightning and suffered a horrific 65% burns all over his body, and if it weren't for the fact that his heart was still beating, everyone would have thought he was dead.
"My poor child, why you... Why you?"
This is Sheriff Joe West, Barry Allen's guardian, and a friend of his biological father, Barry grew up almost under his care, and beside him, there is a crying chick, a very beautiful black lady, that is Joe's daughter, and Barry's childhood sweetheart Iris West, a local news reporter.
"Father, will Barry wake up?"
She looked at the man on the hospital bed, her eyes full of pain and sadness, and Jo said firmly, "He will, he's a man, he'll survive, God will bless him!"
"No, God can't save your child's life. ”
An indifferent voice came from the side of the passage in the ward, and Cyber, who was dressed in a black suit, put his hands in his pockets, and walked up to Joe and Iris, Felicity followed him, he looked at Joe, and said calmly,
"He left this world 1,000 years ago, and now I am the only one who can save your child's life... So, don't get in the way, okay?"
Joe is the sheriff of Central City, a high and powerful position, and his instinct as a policeman makes him feel a certain dark temperament of Cyber, so he stands in front of Cyber without giving in, and asks loudly,
"Who are you!"
"Me?"
Cyber snorted and said helplessly, "I'm a... Well, doctor, you can call me Dr. Cyber or Dr. Cyber, I'm here to treat Barry Allen, I don't care about the delay, but every second of delay brings your child closer to death..."
He shrugged,
"So we can continue to consume like this, and I'd love to do that. ”
"Alright, Uncle Joe, he's indeed a doctor. ”
Felichetti hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded Sheriff Joe, who was full of suspicion, to get away, and she even took out Cyber's identity information and pointed to a line on the phone screen to show Joe, "Look, he's from Gotham, and he's still a dean." ”
The sheriff took one look, and his eyes widened,
"Arkham Psychiatric and Anomalous Human Research and Treatment Center?"
He glanced at Felicity, if it weren't for the fact that he knew very well that the girl in front of him and Barry were friends, he would even wonder if Felicity was crazy and actually found a psychiatrist to treat Barry, but Cyber didn't give him time to object, but directly twisted the door of the ICU ward, and walked in without wearing an isolation gown.
He pushed open the second door and sat down next to Barry Allen, who was covered in various instruments and tubes, and he looked at the unlucky man who had been struck by lightning, and his face was still scorched, and he looked miserable, and it was said that when Barry was taken to the hospital, his whole body looked like he was roasted.
"After 5 years, we met for the first time, and you were so miserable. ”
Cyber snorted, "If that's the price you've paid for the truth of this world, I think it's barely enough, boy, count you back on me for once!"
He stretched out a finger from his left hand and pointed it on the arm of the miserable young man, and the purified dark energy seeped into his body, swimming along his body in a circle, and the expression on Cyber's face became more and more strange.
The vitality of the person who was struck by lightning should be in a dying state, but now, this child looks miserable, but the deepest part of the body contains a thick vitality, not at all like a dying person, but the vitality is shrinking in his heart, as if something is preventing them from dispersing all parts of the body, Cyber took a deep breath, the dark energy in his fingers increased again, and carefully flowed down his body into the heart, trying to help him disperse the life force, but at this moment.
"Bang"
A dazzling cloud of purple lightning burst at the tip of his finger, knocking the caught swarm Cyber flying, slamming into the wall of the ICU ward, damaging some precision instruments, and in an instant, sparks flew throughout the ward.
Joe, who was outside the door, couldn't help it anymore, and he twisted open the door of the ward and was about to rush in to stop the madman, but just as he rushed into the room, Cyber, who had risen from the ground, glanced at him, and the dark red eyes and the ring of fire in them brought a kind of gaze that pierced the soul, making Joe's whole body cold all over.
"Stand there, don't bother me..."
Cyber said casually, and then rubbed his fingers, it is hard to imagine that with his current strength, he will be paralyzed by a thunderbolt, and even lose most of his consciousness, obviously, the energy level of that purple lightning is very high, so high that even the current Cyber is immune, just like the power of the gods.
In the hospital room, where sparks flew and the lights flickered like death, he stood in front of Barry's hospital bed again, and this time, he looked at the young man with a little more caution and curiosity,
"If that's what you get after paying the price... You're really surprising me, Barry Allen... You stepped into this world on your own, and you are really not ordinary. ”
After a moment, he reached out and rolled Barry's heavy eyelids open,
"Then let me see... Your soul, your encounters, and, your future. ”
"Buzz"
As soon as Cyber's eyes flashed, he appeared in Barry Allen's soul in a special way, and this soul picture was more like a repetition of memory, and he saw a scene in a stormy night, in a house, a ball of yellow and red light, circling wildly around a woman in pajamas, and it could be vaguely seen that it was two extremely fast people, chasing and fighting.
Cyber frowned, these two people's fighting skills were too poor, it seemed that they were purely competing against each other's speed, he turned around, and saw a child hiding behind the door, with a frightened face, and Barry Allen, who grew up, had three similarities, obviously, this was the little Barry when he was a child.
Watching the scene of his mother being killed will always be Barry's most memorable part, so Cyber walked over and stood in front of the minibus, who didn't seem to see him, and he whispered,
"Didn't you always want to find out who killed your mother and blamed your father to break your family?"
The kid didn't seem to hear at all, but Cyber looked around at the memories that were beginning to shake and collapse, and he knew that Barry had heard... So he continued,
"Your efforts have paid off, Barry Allen, but it's not because of me, it's because of you, maybe fate has favored you in the end, anyway, when you wake up, you can come to Gotham to me... I'd love to take you into this world, but the rest is up to you. ”
"Now... Go back, don't tie yourself to memory, people, always return to reality... Be patient, it's not far from the time you push open that door. ”
"Buzz"
Cyber's eyes flickered, his consciousness returned to his body, and the whole process may not even take 1 second, but when he came back to his senses, he still heard a weak voice ringing in his ears,
"Thank you, Mr. Cyber. ”
"Bang"
Cyber snapped his fingers, and Joe, who was sleepwalking, regained his chaotic consciousness, and he subconsciously pounced on Cyber and shouted,
"You bastard, get out of my son!"
"Bang"
His body was held up by Cyber's palm, and he stopped steadily, Cyber looked at him, and then looked out the window at Iris and Felicity with worried faces, and he whispered,
"Your son is fine, 3 months at most, he will recover, my business is done, I have to go. ”
After saying that, he lit a cigarette, patted Joe, who was confined in place again, and strode out of the hospital with Felicity, until five minutes later, Joe and Iris's confinement was slowly unhooked, and the father and daughter looked at each other in horror, and they finally understood that Felicity had invited a great fellow, and now it seemed that he had no ill intentions except for acting crazy and domineering.
"Barry..."
Joe looked at the young man who seemed to be no different from before, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "Barry... Wake up, my poor child. ”
On the other side, Felicity, who was sitting in the Bentley, looked at Cyber who closed his eyes and rubbed his fingers.
"How's Barry?"
"He's a lucky man, he'll wake up soon after healing from his trauma, and now..."
Cyber glanced at the glasses lady with an admiring gaze,
"Now let's discuss the scope of your work, Miss Felichetti of the Devils, I actually think the maid costume looks pretty good, don't you think?"
And Felicity, who looked confused, replied: "???"
