Chapter 142: The Man in the Mirror
"According to the location provided by Batman..... That's it, right? ”
Amid lightning and thunder and pouring rain, Red stood in front of a tall building.
There was a large lightning bolt sign above the doorway with the words "The Flash Museum" written on it, and like the other buildings, there was no light in this place at the moment.
However, Red still decided to trust Batman's judgment, and the mission target was to hide inside, but he still had some preparation to do before entering the door.
"Hmm...... This jar head is not bad. ”
After knocking on a metal can, Red made holes in it that would reveal his eyes, and put it on - I have to say, the feeling of wearing the head of the jar made Red feel extremely relieved.
Especially when he has to face the person he was killed by his own hands, the wife and children he left behind.
In addition, Red also uses the Infinity Gauntlet to hide his lamp ring, and his right arm has turned white, so it is estimated that no one can find out that he is the berserker who killed many heroes and destroyed Washington, D.C. back then.
After taking a deep breath, Red gently pushed open the door to the museum, which was dark inside, save for the lightning rays of the storm in the red sky outside shining through the windows.
However, Red has no intention of turning on the lights, not only because he is worried about attracting those who are controlled by the anti-life equation, but more importantly, because the power supply to the entire Central City has been cut off.
The good news is that although he can't use the power of flesh and blood, the Red Lantern Ring can still provide Red with a certain degree of night vision and detection ability, and with Red's keen senses that he has cultivated after a long time on the battlefield, he can move unhindered even in the dark.
Red's footsteps echoed through the empty museum, and as he searched for his target, Red recalled what Batman had just said to him.
——
"The fall of Canterlot was 24 hours before your arrival, and although we had cut off communications and power in time, the anti-life equation was successfully spread, and we were forced to abandon Canterlot and move all the survivors to other safe locations."
"However, when we registered the survivors, we found that Linda Parker, who was on the Priority Protection List, was not successfully transferred, and her twin children were not successfully accommodated."
"I think you should already know that they are the family of the Flash Volly West, as the family of the superhero, they were supposed to be transferred first, but Linda and her children wanted to rescue as many survivors as possible, so they were trapped inside Canterlot."
"And due to some special reasons, it is difficult for us to enter Canterlot from the outside world for the time being. But the good news is that the West twins have inherited some of their father's superpowers, enough to keep the family safe for the time being. ”
"However, just now we received a call for help, Linda and they were attacked by other superpowers, and now they are in a very dangerous situation."
"And you're the only person I can contact at the moment who can rescue them...... Wally is a hero and I have to protect his family. ”
"In exchange, I swear to you that I will help cover up your identity and meet all your needs if I can."
"This is my solemn request as Batman, Red Douglas, to save them."
——
Flash Wally West......
Red recalls the battle, and has no regrets about killing the Flash - Wally was an obstacle that had to be solved, and Red had no room for mercy in the face of this speedy enemy.
But if he doesn't regret killing this sunny and optimistic young hero, Red is lying to himself.
Red doesn't expect to forgive him by saving their lives, but he also needs Batman's help to join his companions and fight Darkseid.
This may be a good opportunity for them to put aside their contradictions and work together.
Inside the vast Flash Museum, Red searched for his target, but he couldn't hear anything other than the thunder and rain outside the museum.
"Miss Linda, can you hear me? I was sent by Batman to help you, to get you out of Canterlot—"
Red shouted a few words, but still didn't get any response, and just as he was about to contact Batman through the spirit star to tell him about the situation, he saw the huge statue of Flash in the center of the museum's main hall.
This is not the third-generation Flash Wally West who was killed by him, but the second-generation Flash Barry Allen. Red recalls that in the original Final Crisis story, Barry was supposed to return from Speed Force with the help of the original Flashes Jay Garrick and Wally, and play an important role in defeating Darkseid...... But now that Jay and Wally are dead, there's no telling what will happen next.
In this world, there is no Flash anymore.
Red sighed lightly, the butterfly effect is like this, never knowing what the consequences of his actions will be-
Bang!
Just outside the window, there was a loud thunderclap, and a dazzling lightning bolt briefly illuminated the interior of the museum.
At this moment, Red, who was staring at the statue of Barry, suddenly felt a chill down his spine!
I saw that on the shiny surface of the metal sculpture, he could reflect his image like a mirror, but through his keen dynamic vision, Red could clearly see that in the image on the surface of the sculpture, a man wearing a yellow-green tights was standing next to him.
Hell, when the hell is it-
Red jerked his head, but there was no one beside him.
Is it a hallucination? No, that man is real, if it's not on his side, then it means ......
In the next second, feeling the breath coming from behind him, Red did not hesitate to pull out the crowbar he had found in the trash can outside from behind his waist, turned around and rushed towards the statue and swung it vigorously.
Bang!
I saw that the man rushed out of the statue directly, but fortunately, Red reacted quickly, and before the other party could make any moves, he immediately beat him out with a stick.
However, Red didn't use the power of flesh and blood now, so the crowbar didn't kill the guy on the spot, and after rolling on the ground a few times, the latter immediately raised a strangely shaped pistol and pulled the trigger at Red.
Red moves swiftly and dodges immediately, but instead of a bullet, a dazzling ray of light is fired from the pistol.
The light flashed directly past Red, hitting the glass window behind him, but it didn't cause any damage, just ripples like water on the glass mirror...... Then, in the next second, three figures jumped out of the glass window at the same time.
Red knew him right away—no, who they were.
"You are...... Scoundrels? ”
