Chapter 341: All kinds of Christmas gifts
"Next, it's time to witness the miracle!" Sisko's opening made Louis quite speechless, although he knew that the speed treadmill was a miraculous invention, but why did he open like this?
Unfortunately, the people around him did not feel the same way as Louie, and they were all curious and looking forward to the next scene.
As Sisko unties the ribbons on the outside and tears the covered cardboard shells, the Speedy Run, which Louis conceived, Mia helped perfect, and finally made by Sisko, finally reveals its appearance.
"Looks ...... Is it a treadmill?" Everyone smiled and looked forward to it for a long time, but after revealing its true face, everyone didn't see anything special about this thing after looking at it for a long time, no matter how you look at it, it is a very ordinary treadmill.
"Originally, it was a treadmill, but it could be connected to the speed force after it was run, so that people running on it could 'get close' to contact, feel and even learn how to connect to the speed force. ”
According to Sisko's introduction, not only ordinary people can use this prop, but even Barry can usually use this treadmill to exercise, which can allow him to better improve his speed and connect to the speed force space earlier.
With Mia's example, no one doubted the practicality of this device, and Barry even walked up directly, wanting to feel the magic of this treadmill for himself.
"What should I do?"
"Just run straight away when it's turned on, and the machine will automatically adjust to your speed. According to Sisko's introduction, this set of treadmills is fully automatic fool-like operation, and the two conspicuous buttons to turn on and off are right in front of you, and it is impossible to learn how to use it.
Turn on and run!
It's that simple.
Watching Barry turn on the treadmill, then gradually increase the speed from jogging, and then as his hands and legs turned into shadows, yellow lightning gradually appeared on Barry's body, and everyone slowly saw the magic of this treadmill.
As Barry kept running, the treadmill began to show some lightning-like energy and light, almost covering the area under Barry's feet, making it look like he was running on a curtain of light.
And the lightning on Barry's body seems to be connected to the energy under his feet, and Barry's speed is increasing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye - the monitoring device next to the treadmill can show Barry's current speed.
Despite Louis's teachings and the 'right way' of his speed, Barry has always maintained a speed of more than Mach 1, that is, faster than the speed of sound.
Although there was progress during this time, it was not much, and he thought he had reached a bottleneck.
But through this treadmill, Barry realized that he was still quite far from the so-called limit, or bottleneck, and he easily increased his speed a lot, easily running a speed of Mach 5, and steadily moving towards twice the speed of sound.
It was a pleasant feeling, but Louis motioned for Barry to stop!
"It's Christmas, and usually you have time to use this machine. "He's not worried about Barry's speed increasing too much at once, causing his 'foundation' to be unstable and unable to use his speed well.
With the close relationship between Barry and the Speed Force, Barry will not lose control of his power at all, and he will not directly turn himself into ashes like those speedsters who used speed potions.
"It's an amazing feeling, it's like I have endless power. ”
Louis knew that this was because Barry already had the Speed Force, and with the treadmill to help him better connect to the Speed Force, he did have an inexhaustible amount of power.
After visiting the treadmill, the next step is to give gifts to each other.
Louie's gifts for everyone are actually pretty much the same.
Giving Sisko a lightsaber of his own making, Sisko knew that Louis was making a lightsaber, and even visited the entire production process of a lightsaber.
Mia was given a special folding bow, which could be worn on her hand in the form of an armguard, and when used, she would appear in the form of a bow.
If that's all there is, it's nothing special, after all, Green Arrow has similar equipment, and the one that Louis gave Mia has some special abilities: "It can condense the speed of God into an arrow and launch it." ”
"Can you still do this?"
Mia looked a little surprised, but Louie didn't think it was anything.
"The lightning formed by the speed force can be launched, and when you reach a certain level of mastery of the speed force, you can do it on your own. ”
This is where the bow can do something, and when Mia has a deeper understanding of her speed, she won't need it anymore - she can use it to condense a longbow, or more simply, shoot lightning.
"Thank you, I loved the gift. ”
Eddie also got a lightsaber, he is different from Barry after all, Eddie is a police detective who often needs to use force, a lightsaber can improve his combat effectiveness, and he doesn't have to have many worries like Barry.
In addition to these people, Joe, Iris, Dr. Stein, and Ronnie also received various gifts, basically some small props made by Louie, such as watches, rings, and shockers that can be disguised as electric shocks when necessary.
Louie sent a circle of gifts, and at the same time received a circle of gifts, Sisko improved Louie's Jedi robes, so that the Jedi robes have similar abilities to the Sith suit, which can better perceive and mobilize the force of light, it can be said that this new set of Jedi robes has finally become a helpful equipment for Louis.
As for what other people send, they are basically small decorations, trinkets or something, which can be collected as souvenirs, mainly to express their hearts.
After giving each other gifts, some of them noticed that Louie didn't give Caitlyn a gift, but the two of them were a couple, and everyone guessed that there were other arrangements.
But Louie was straight out about his plans: after Christmas, he might take Caitlin out for a spin around the world.
"Oh ~ a two-person world? Sisko didn't think that the Star Lab would be deserted after Caitlyn and Louis left.
Now the Flash team is getting bigger and bigger, in addition to Flash, Joe and Eddie, there are more Mia and Firestorm duo, among which Professor Stein is a top scientist, both in combat effectiveness and logistics support capabilities have become much stronger, enough to deal with all kinds of situations in Midtown.
As for the situation of Professor Stein and Ronnie, after this period of trying, it has been determined that the method proposed by Louis is no problem, as long as the two of them continue to work hard, so there is no need for Louie to guard this place - they are not from the Star Lab in the first place, at most they have the name of a security director, and they must have their own lives to live.
What's more, there are almost no stupid people here, everyone can realize something, and naturally no one will say anything unpleasant.
After dividing the gifts, Caitlyn said that she had one more gift to give, and then she turned into Frost in everyone's surprised eyes.
Frost looked a little confused, standing beside Louis in a daze, not even noticing that he was still being held in Louie's arms.
Caitlin's gift to Frost was to allow Frost to experience Christmas 'really', and this was Frost's first year of awakening, the first holiday she really experienced, and Caitlin felt that it was not good to let her spend such a day in the 'little dark room', so she relinquished control of her body.
In Catelyn's words, she's had passed more than twenty Christmases, less than one, and she hadn't missed it completely.
"Merry Christmas, Frost!"
Louie's words brought Frost back to her senses, and then she noticed her current state, but after thinking about it, she still didn't jump away, but looked around curiously - although she could see what was happening outside through Catelyn, it was not as clear as what she could see with her own eyes, especially the Christmas decorations that Catelyn didn't pay much attention to, which made her very curious.
"Is that it? Christmas?"
"That's pretty much it!" Louis in his previous life didn't have the opportunity to really live such a festival, but after becoming a brave man, because he walked in various worlds, he spent a lot of festivals that he had not experienced before,
In Louie's opinion, there is nothing special about these festivals, that is, relatives and friends get together to eat and drink, and talk about some happy things by the way, on this day everyone will try to avoid talking about those unhappy things, and if there are any troubles, they will wait until the day has passed to solve them.
Especially in a world like The Flash, even a supervillain who intends to destroy the world will not jump out to make trouble on such days, but let the heroes of justice and the general public enjoy the festival before continuing to do things.
"You see, the Midtown Police Department hasn't received any calls to the police, and Joe and Eddie are still enjoying a rare free time here, after all, the criminals are also having a holiday. ”
Standing and chatting with Frost, Louie knew that his mission was nearing the end of his mission, and he was ready to leave after returning from a trip with Caitlin.
Don't look at Caitlyn's usual stupidity, except for her own professional things, she is slow to respond to many things, but Louie can feel it, Caitlin has long been aware of this - maybe the day Louie tells her true origin, she has a premonition that sooner or later there will be such a day.
In contrast, Frost is much more 'upright', and she will ask directly if she has questions: "Are you going to deal with the relationship with Caitlin?"
