Suddenly, Barry felt like he was being flushed into the bubbles in the sewer pipe by the water in the washbasin, and was rapidly pulled out of the present world by a force, and then he found himself floating in a universe of golden light, and he heard a voice shouting in his ear.

"Run! Barry! Come on!!! ”

He unconsciously followed the footsteps of this voice, in this empty space, there was no physical limitation, he ran faster and faster, and the more he ran, the more hearty he became, as if all the depression and grievances he had left behind during this period of time.

Keep running, Barry reminded himself that if it was a dream, he would have to get over all his troubles so that when he woke up, at least he wouldn't be startled into a cold sweat by the nightmare.

"Do you think it's a dream?" A voice said.

"Who are you? Where am I now? Instinctively, Barry slowed down, as if to wait for the figure to appear.

When that voice reappeared, he said, "Don't slow down, keep picking up your speed before you can see me." ”

Barry had no choice but to keep his head down and run, faster, faster......

The golden light grew more and more intense, until it turned from a thin pale gold to a rich golden yellow, and Barry turned his head to see an illusion running side by side with him.

As his speed grew faster and faster, the phantom gradually condensed into substance, and finally in the endless light, they stopped, but did not leave this world, but floated quietly in the warm light.

Standing across from Barry was another of himself.

He was young, looked like a college student, wore a sweatshirt with cartoon prints on it, the kind Barry would normally like, a little bit of baby fat on his face, a ruddy complexion, bright eyes, and looked very healthy.

"I'm the future you, we've met before." College Flash said, "I think you'll remember that the last time we met was at Gotham School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. ”

"Yes, you made me choose Rodriguez Academy."

"That's just to get you here." The other party did not shy away from saying, "I don't want to talk about fate or anything like that, but almost every Barry Allen will gain speed power, and we will eventually become the Flash." ”

Barry understands everything, his future self is to give his current self the speed power, and suggests that he join the Rodriguez Academy so that he can meet Bruce and Harley, the two troublemakers, and then come here after a whole series of tribulations.

"I don't understand." Barry frowned and said, "How can this be? I mean, how can I, who have all my memories in the future, go back in time and arrange my memories? This is ridiculous. ”

"No, it's not ridiculous at all." The young Flash shook his head and said, "It's just that you still have a choice to make now. ”

"What?"

Barry looked into the eyes of the young Flash, from which he could see a mixed emotion, he opened his mouth to ask, but the young Flash's thoughts had drifted back to a few days ago.

In the office of the director of the Rodriguez Academy of Gotham School of Magic, Schiller, who had explained his entire big plan, yawned a little sleepily, and Konstantin also stood up and stretched, saying: "No matter how good the movie is, you can't watch it endlessly, I think we should go back and rest for a while, the excitement is still to come." ”

"I agree." Pamela also stood up, nodded and said, "Next time, I have to be well-prepared, I can take care of the snack part, who will buy the wine?" ”

"I'll prepare the drinks." Bruce put the pillow down on the couch and said, "If it's a family reunion, then I'm going to have to invite you to Wayne Manor, and I'd like to call a few friends over." ”

"God, you don't want to call Jack again, do you?" Konstantin spread his hands helplessly and said, "Then we got drunk and started playing cards, and he took my little king away from his hand and refused to admit it...... Well, well, if you have to ask him, remember to call Gordon, only the sheriff's handcuffs can cure him. ”

"I don't care." Zatanna shrugged her shoulders and said, "I'm still interested in that crocodile friend of yours. ”

As the group walked out, Bruce said, "He can't come, in order to build the facilities for the festival, work is being done everywhere, and he works three jobs a day until midnight, and he doesn't have time to watch a movie." ”

"Hal and Oliver shouldn't have time either, they're busy harvesting spring wheat in Mexico, but Diana and Clark might be coming, and they're still interested in another universe of themselves."

A few more people chatted a few more words, and then parted at the door of the dean's office, they have been immersed in the construction of the Gotham Academy of Magic during this time, and many things in the watch world have not been done, so after the meeting is over, they basically return to the watch world to deal with miscellaneous matters in the real world.

Schiller was reinstated at Gotham University, which was a condition for him to invite non-magical college professors such as Anna and Victor to come to the Academy of Magic to help, after he left, the freshman reception was completely closed to new students, Roy made many phone calls to Anna's office because of complaints from out-of-town students, and Anna was going crazy.

Originally, it was greed who returned to the office, and he thought that it would be interesting to work here for a few days for arrogance, and then as soon as his ass stuck to the stool, he heard a "click" sound in his ears.

As soon as he turned his head, a shredder with a jagged mouth floated in the air, and one person and one machine stared at each other.

Then greed knew why the hell mediocrity was bitten by a shredder and went to the abyss to howl for three days, and this shredder given to him by the arrogant student was fucking alive and capable of six hundred bites in three seconds.

When arrogance returned, he found himself standing on the decorative line at the top of the wall in the corner of the office, about three meters above the ground, and Gray Mist immediately said, "I didn't bring him up, I didn't even know you had such sports cells." ”

Arrogant stepped on the decorative line and looked down, and saw the shredder staring at him with a big mouth, and immediately understood where the greedy motor cells came from.

Turning into a cloud of gray mist and drifting back to his seat, arrogantly pinched a paper ball and threw it to the shredder, after a slight crushing sound, the paper ball disappeared, and the shredder quietly floated back to its original position and lay down, smacked its mouth, and no longer moved.

Schiller saw the high pile of papers on the table, shook his head slightly, and said, "If nothing else, it will probably be covered with academic garbage until it vomits in the next week." ”

Just as Schiller was immersed in grading his papers, busy panning for gold in, there was a knock on his office door.

On the other hand, Schiller now has a separate office, not that his academic status has improved, mainly because other professors do not have the same good athletic cells as him.

Schiller raised his head, turned to the door and said, "Please come in." ”

Coming in was Barry Allen, the youth version.

Schiller raised his eyelids slightly, revealing a look of interest, but anyway, no matter what it was, it was more interesting than academic garbage when it came to grading papers, Schiller put down his pen and looked at the young Flash who walked in, and said, "Long time no see, have you achieved anything recently?" ”

"Uh, interstellar psychology...... Wait, I'm not here for an academic presentation, I have something I want to consult, professor. ”

"Is it related to psychological theories, or is it related to your own state of mind?"

The Flash was stunned for a moment, and instinctively asked, "Does this make a difference?" ”

Schiller stood up and led the Flash to the single couch by the office window, letting the Flash sit on one side and himself on the other, he put one leg on the other and said.

"First of all, I'm a psychologist and a professor of psychology, not a practicing psychiatrist, and although I'm licensed, the last time I did counseling was a long time ago, and I'm not sure if my practice is unfamiliar."

"You should understand the gap between theoretical psychology and applied psychology, and if you do have a very urgent need for psychotherapy, I can ask another psychologist who is practicing medicine to come out and treat you."

The Flash opened his mouth for a moment, and Schiller said in advance: "Don't feel troubled, the experience accumulated in practice over the years is very important, and it cannot be replaced by a theoretical level, and he is happy to do so." ”

"No, I mean can I listen to you first and then ask him?"

Originally, this kind of Barry's even slightly offensive proposal should have made Schiller frown, but as soon as Schiller saw the Flash's face, he thought of the paper he brought to him the last time he crossed over, which could compete with the graduation thesis handed in by Evans, and could even be called the top three papers that Schiller had received since he came to Gotham to coach.

Schiller had an unimaginably great patience with such a student, and he did not feel that this was too much to ask, and nodded, "Let's talk about your specific problem first." ”

"I'm Barry Allen, but only one of them."

"What do you mean?"

"Little Barry in the current timeline will awaken the speed force in about three days due to an event in another universe, and he is faced with a choice, and I am Barry Allen in the timeline where one of the choices is the result."

"What choice?" Schiller asked again.

The Flash pursed his lips, as if tangled and nervous, and then he suddenly raised his eyes to meet Schiller's eyes, and the next second Schiller saw an endless black tide in his eyes.

Schiller raised an eyebrow and said nothing.

"He can choose to take the dark Origin power buried deep beneath Gotham, and this power will merge with his speed power, making him the only black lightning bolt in all universes...... That's me. ”

As the words fell, the surroundings of the Flash's body began to flash with a lightning-like golden luster, but in a second, the thunder from the depths of the universe finally returned to the universe and became pitch black and mysterious.

The Flash's soft hair fluttered without the wind, and the thick darkness filled his eyes, and his voice seemed to come from deep space.

"It's an extremely powerful force, the most primordial darkness plus the most primordial speed, and when I run, the dark multiverse is like a dusty cloud passing in front of my eyes......"

"Then why are you here?"

In an instant, the dark power and speed power disappeared, and the Flash turned back into the simple college student, but the worry on his face did not diminish in the slightest, and he sighed deeply and said.

"Because it's unstable, I'm going to get out of control."
