"You say the reverse lightning is here for time?"

The answer from Barry was beyond Mason's imagination, and he froze in place, and then seemed to understand, he looked at Barry, and said:

"Can you elaborate a little more? What means is he going to 'steal' from time? ”

"It's hard for me to explain, Mason."

The Flash's wounds healed under the influence of potions and self-healing powers, and the uncomfortable process made him gasp constantly, and he tried his best to explain:

"It's just a metaphor.

I didn't see anyone attacking with my own eyes, but he kept running in a special space, and I could feel that the speed force network in this world was being distorted by him.

But he was not here to absorb those speedy powers, he was to get what was protected by the speedy nets.

He had to defeat them before he could go any further.

The reason I say he's 'stealing' time is because I can feel the abnormal flow of time in this world, and the timeline is twisted into a rather strange shape.

I guess that's the distraction he brings. ”

"I don't have a speed-strengthened mind that can keep up with your leaping thoughts."

Mason made a pause and said:

"You have to be clear, how does time flow in this world?"

"Time is not linear here."

Barry's fingers swirled in the air, bringing up a weak point of light, and he said:

"I wanted to hide in time when I was being chased by the Reverse Dodge, which was a very effective strategy in the battle of the Speeders, but I failed, and I couldn't go back or advance time in this world.

You can't run any faster.

I can't do it if I want to leave here and return to our world, it's like there's a wall blocking the connection between the two worlds.

I'm sure Reverse Lightning won't be able to leave either.

He was also trapped.

He attacked me before as if he wanted to capture the traces of space-time interference on my body and escape from here, not because there was a problem with the speed force, but because there was something wrong with this world itself. ”

Speaking of which, presumably to strengthen his persuasive powers, Barry said:

"If my theory is correct, then your World Gate should not be usable, you haven't tried it yet, have you?"

"Just try it."

Mason pinched out his Star Club ID card,

He brushed the thing on a nearby door, and its wooden locks were immediately replaced by brass handles and delicate world ticks.

He glanced at Barry, twisted the doorknob toward the Gotham world, and then pushed it back, revealing the familiar reflection of starlight.

But before Mason could step inside, a swift streamer of light swooped in from afar.

Rushed into the door of the world that Mason pushed open with a whoosh, and then.

"Bang"

There was a muffled sound.

The guy who tried to escape through the World Gate crashed directly into the wall of the utility room next to the garden, and the impact was so strong that it made a large humanoid hole in the opposite wall.

It's like a nonsensical operation that only some kind of unscientific animated character can do.

This embarrassing scene made both Mason and Flash freeze in place.

"Reverse Lightning!"

Barry screamed in surprise and was about to come forward to arrest him, but as soon as he got up, he staggered to the ground, and the apparently embarrassed Reverse Lightning turned around and punched him a few times, causing him to rise into the air and roll over to the ground.

Merlin reacted very quickly and drew his gun and fired, but the ugly reverse lightning did not give him time to aim at all.

The whoosh disappeared as he came, leaving only the dawn wind blowing through the hole in the wall in front of him and making a whirring sound, representing a "small mistake" just now.

It stands to reason that the speedy person can pass through the obstacle of the wall without a trace through the high-speed resonance of the body molecules, and there will be no such "can't stop the car" situation at all.

But the ruined wall in front of him can't be faked, and it seems that Barry Allen's guess is correct.

Not only was Reverse Lightning trapped here, but it was also suspected that it had interfered with the normal operation of the Speed Force.

Mason stood in front of the star-sculpting world gate and took a step forward, then appeared from the other side of the door, looking back at the still shining starlight behind him and frowning completely.

"It seems that only entry and exit are allowed here, only communication is still unblocked, no wonder they sent people before but they couldn't send even a trace of useful news."

He put away the door of the world, which had become an ornament, and lifted Barry, who was struggling on the ground, and whispered to him:

"Don't tell anyone else about this in advance, lest the army's morale be unstable."

"I know."

Barry nodded, and was helped by Mason to the depths of Wayne Manor, and he whispered:

"But the reverse lightning tells me that this world is going to be destroyed in five days, and if the gate of the world can't get us out, doesn't that mean"

"Either find a solution before destruction comes, or die with this world."

Mason looked at Barry with a smile and said:

"What? Haven't you faced such a difficult choice before? Flash, your face is terrible, maybe I should say, welcome to the cruel world of adults. ”

"I don't understand, how can you laugh in this situation?"

The Flash complained:

"Are the people of the Stars Society so heartless?"

"I'm just optimistic, you see, I've been in this kind of more than once, and I know that there is no easy task that can fall on me.

Now it seems that I am tied to the fate of this world again. ”

Mason snorted.

He looked at Damian and his clown grandmother who were walking towards him with the Demon Head Sword in front of him.

The terrible scar on Lady Martha's face was almost gone, and she wore a black lady's wide-brimmed soft hat and cloak like a noblewoman walking in her garden.

Of course, it would have been more decent if she had replaced the pistol that was still emitting smoke from her hand with a handbag.

"Smile, Barry, show your most charming smile, don't keep this dead face, the lady across the street doesn't like to make people unhappy."

Mason whispered a reminder.

But Barry had just seen Lady Martha direct a mob to bomb and kill several people, and he didn't like this cold-blooded man.

No matter how beautiful or elegant the other party is, he is just a femme fatale.

So he complained to Mason:

"Do I have any obligation to please her?"

"First of all, her name is Martha Wayne and she is Bruce Wayne's mother, and secondly, she is the clown of this world."

Mason explains:

"Of course you can make her angry at will, but I want you to be so tough when she is killed in a strange way, and by the way, stay away from me when the time comes, lest your blood spill on my shoes."

Mason's words made Barry's face change slightly, and as Lady Martha approached with her little grandson's hand, he took the initiative to say hello and said:

"Hello, Mrs. Wayne, I'm a good friend of Bruce. He and I are both members of the Justice League, and I actually adore your son.

I was a fan of him when I was a kid. ”

"Justice League? Is that some kind of strange men's song and dance troupe? My Bruce's choice to be Batman in another world wasn't enough for him to toss around, but to hang out with a group of weird friends?

It seems that his life plan is really problematic.

Alas, the poor child is not good without his mother to take care of him since he was a child, and it is easy to go down the wrong path. ”

Old Aunt Martha looked Xiao Shan up and down.

The latter's overly revealing tights made her very dissatisfied, and immediately pulled Damian away a few steps, and told her little grandson:

"Little Bruce, you have to listen to grandma, these exhibitionists in tights swagger through the market, and cover their cheeks and dare not show their true faces, there are dark secrets at a glance.

Stay away from them.

Beware of being infected by them with some kind of madness called 'Justice'. ”

"That's right, I also don't think the people in the Justice League are normal."

Damian, who had just slashed two black-clad assassins who had broken into the bat cave, nodded approvingly, and he and Mason glanced at each other, then snorted in the direction of Lady Martha.

Motioned to Mason to hurry up and find a way to "fish" him out.

But the female clown spoke before him:

"I just saw Thomas rescue Oliver the Black Arrow from your men, this is a chance, Mason, if you want to know the secrets that Thomas is hiding, you can't waste time now.

To give. ”

She took out a pair of headphones and handed them to Mason, saying:

"I've put bugs on old Thomas, so you can eavesdrop on their conversations."

"Not necessarily."

Mason shook his head and said:

"I put a bug on the old lady when we first met him, but I think it might be better for us to go straight to him now, he's in the Batcave with Oliver."

He glanced at the Flash and said:

"I just have something to talk to the old lady about."

A few minutes later, the group arrived at the Batcave beneath Wayne Manor.

They saw a bullseye waiting here at the entrance.

The latter leaned against the wall with a sniper rifle on his back and looked unhappy, the red light floating in the transformed prosthetic eyes filled with a touch of cold killing intent.

Next to Bullseye is Harley Quinn, chewing gum and sitting on a rock, holding a baseball bat like a sword, and her two vicious dogs crouching at her feet as if watching Bullseye.

When she saw Mason coming, the little cutie immediately jumped up and asked for credit, saying:

"I chased this sneaky guy all the way here, and I stopped him from attacking the old lady, and old Thomas was about to kill the black arrow inside.

It's like torture, it's a terrible scene. ”

"When did you get this female neuropath? Boss, the taste is unique, if she hadn't stopped me, I would have been able to blow the old madman inside through the wall with the black arrow.

I was aiming for it all. ”

The secret bodyguard bullseye bared his teeth, crossed his arms and complained to Mason:

"But this chick reminds me of the Green Goblin, who was arguing with herself just now, and it was all about you.

Those discussions were so obscene that I didn't dare to say it in front of my children.

Yo, isn't this The Flash? ”

After the bullseye neurotic killer finished complaining about Harley, he looked at Barry Allen, who had just regained his ability to walk beside Mason, with deep meaning, and he stretched out his hand and said provocatively:

"Do you want to compete again and see who is faster this time?"

"What? Are the little boys now proud of being fast? ”

Aunt Clown snorted.

Impatient with the bullseye's provocation, she fired a shot at him, and the bullet struck the bullseye's helmet with sparks, and the latter was about to fight back but was stopped by Mason's eyes.

He left the others here and told Harley to look at them, and then walked into the dimly lit bat cave in front of him.

Just looking at the old lady's car, you know that the revenge knight doesn't take the high-tech route, so there are no cool bat planes in his bat cave, this is just an ordinary rock cave, and there are a large number of bats nesting overhead.

In the next few caves, there are lights shining on the various "trophies" that the old lady has collected for so many years of fighting crime, and they are generally bloody.

In the center of the cavern is an operating table with a rusty shadowless lamp.

At this time, Oliver Quinn, the leader of the League of Assassins, lay on the operating table, and he only had his last breath left, and all ten of his fingers were forcibly cut off by the old lady with surgical forceps.

There was blood all over the ground, and the scene was very oozing.

Hallie was right, there had just been a terrible torture here.

Thomas Wayne would be standing right in front of his wall, his back to Mason and his jagged cloak covering his body, looking up at the collected materials on the wall.

As Mason approached, the old lady said to him in a dumb voice:

"I heard that voice over a month ago, announcing to me that the 'invaders' were coming, and directing me to the Philadelphia area, where I saw with my own eyes people like you through strange doors into our world.

It tells me that the arrival of these people has interfered with the course of the world, and that you must be cleared to ensure that the world survives.

In the past thirty days, I have carried out three assassinations and killed eleven people.

Oliver Quinn, who was lying there, heard that voice before me, and according to what he had just said, he and his killers had killed nearly a hundred people around the world so far.

Their common feature is that they all have devil-like tattoos on their arms.

Every one of your actions will be observed by that mysterious voice, Mason, who will give us exactly where you will be in this world, how many people you will be, and when you will appear in this world.

Accurate to the second!

That's why your people will be buried as soon as they enter here, but our killing doesn't seem to have prevented things from slipping to the brink of destruction.

The situation in this world is getting worse by the day. ”

"Did you just help me torture him? Old lady, you don't have to be like this, I have a way to find out the truth without bloodshed. ”

Mason took out a bottle of healing potion and poured it into Oliver Quinn, who was lying on the operating table in a terrible condition, and by the way, he poured a bottle of raw bone spirit to treat his completely broken hand bone.

He said to the old lady:

"What else did Oliver confess?"

"The identity and name of that voice."

The old lady turned around.

Under a mask darker and darker than Batman, those bloodshot eyes stared at Mason and said:

"Oliver is obviously a die-hard guy, but luckily I've been a doctor for a while, and I know how to do it better to cause pain and break through his defenses.

As for that voice

Black Arrow said it referred to itself as 'Barry Allen' during an out-of-control conversation. ”

"Impossible!"

The Flash, who was eavesdropping outside the cave, got up instantly.

Then, under the strange gaze of everyone, he cried out, weakly:

"I've been to Barry Allen of this world, and he's dead, he's dead in the earthquake that happened seventeen years ago, and he's been a normal man until he died.

There is no legend of The Flash in this world. ”

"But you yourself say that there are traces of the Speed Force in this world, Barry."

Mason glanced at the excited Flash, and said:

"So is there a possibility that this world is not without the Flash, but someone has somehow 'erased' his life?

As for Barry Allen, who died seventeen years ago.

It couldn't have been easier for the Speedy to disguise this death.

Now that I think about it, apart from Barry Allen, who has fallen in love with Reverse Flash and killed him for countless years, who else can so easily trap a villain Speedy for a period of time? ”

"No, no, no, your speculations are too superficial, not profound at all!"

In the silence, Lady Martha shook her head and smiled strangely, and said in an oozing voice:

"Is it possible that the world we live in has nothing to do with the 'real' itself?

It's like after that terrible night in Crime Alley, and I often wonder if this could have been a bad joke played by fate.

Thomas said I was crazy.

But I think I may be too close to that harsh truth, I may be too sober. ”

"No, you're just just crazy, Martha, don't justify your cold-blooded brutality."

The old lady said faintly:

"I'm a pretty good doctor, I can tell if you're in a conscious state or not."

"There is only one way to confirm your terrible thoughts."

Barry shook his head, and he said very seriously:

"I'll have to use the Speed Force again to enter that special space where Reverse Lightning's is located, he'll know better, or I can venture through the twisted Speed Force web to see what lies behind the time of this world.

Without further ado, Mason, give me the medicine!

I had to get better right away. ”

"Nope! I'm the captain, listen to me! We should now"

Mason vetoed the suggestion.

He was about to say what he thought, but then a cacophony rang out from the communicator in his ear, and he motioned for the crowd to be quiet, listening to the double reports of Selena from Paradise Island and Bane from Atlantis City.

After a few seconds, Mason looked at everyone around him with a subtle expression.

He said:

"The Amazons and the Atlanteans have officially gone to war! Just a few minutes ago, the good news was that in order to avoid the destruction of the world due to war, the two sides were preparing to find a place to fight a bright and bright Armageddon.

The bad news is, guess what, where they're going to fight? ”
