Midtown is a city that never stops.

Many people would say that each city's own iconic superheroes set the tone for the city itself, but in a way, the heroes are also influenced by the city that raised them.

Midtown is one such dynamic city. The neon lights of the high-rise buildings dot the city's skyline at night. Cars come and go on the street, and the traffic lights flicker alternately, creating a never-ending flow of light and shadow. The traffic forms a series of brilliant ribbons, shuttling through the night, as if the city has a rhythmic artery.

Earlier tonight, an explosion swept through the streets of Midtown.

No one knows the reason yet, but three people have already disappeared in the explosion. At this time, the cordon has been raised, and staff wearing warning hats and protective suits are busy surveying and collecting evidence from street to street. Police cars and ambulances come and go, flickering silence and the rush of sirens piercing the silence of the streets.

"Parr, what are we looking at right now?"

Shen You in stealth mode hovered high in the air, condescending, and the visual sensor magnified the busy crowd in the blockade line below.

"Unexplained explosion, sir. The official report has not yet been released, and there is no further media coverage for the time being. ”

"So it looks like we'll have to go down and talk to the people on site to get the details."

"Looks like yes, sir. So do you need an identity? ”

"Of course. Help me design a ...... Hmm......" Shen You thought for a moment, "...... Forget it, don't use a new one, let's just last time. Senior Agent Mike Williams of Sky Eye.

Help me get through the connection, and remember to call my superiors at the Midtown Police Department. ”

"Mean little, sir."

So a few minutes later, Shen You, who was wearing a "Williams Agent" vest, had already crossed the blockade line and came to Captain Singh, who led the team at the investigation site.

Captain Singh looked at his ID and nodded, "I've already received a call from above, saying that there is an agency above that will send secret agents, and I think you are the agent." Welcome. ”

Shen You shook hands with him and smoothly entered the blockade line.

"This is our on-site investigator in the Identification Section."

Captain Singh introduced him to a lad. It was a young man with blond hair, a delicate face, blue eyes, and a handsome but somewhat technophilic temperament.

"Barry Allen, Crime Scene Identification Section." The young man shook his hand as well.

Shen You, who heard this name, couldn't help but pay more attention.

So this is the legendary Flash.

But Shen You had paid special attention to it before, and the laboratory electric shock accident that turned Barry into a Flash had not happened yet. So; Theoretically, he is just an ordinary person now, the kind of person who fails the physical test running performance, and is not the fastest person in the world.

"Take our chief on the scene, Alan." Captain Singh said bluntly, "Don't mess it up again this time." Also, don't forget to review. I'm going to see it tomorrow morning. ”

"Yes, sir." Barry muttered.

Shen You recognized that expression.

It is the kind of workplace signature expression of the leader who leads long and short on the surface, and secretly longs for the leader to be short and soft.

"Review, I've written it, I understand." Shen You chuckled, "How many words?" ”

"100,000 words." Barry said pitifully.

Shen You suspected that he had misheard: "How much?" ”

"One hundred thousand."

Shen You didn't know what to say for a while.

After a pause, he said, "...... Dude, have you broken the rules of heaven? ”

"It's late...... It's just a little too late. Barry said embarrassedly, "And Captain Singh he...... Stricter. ”

"It's okay, hard leader, I know." Shen You smiled, "I also have a difficult leader. Fat like an aircraft carrier and very self-righteous, as soon as you open your mouth, it's hard to get ......"

After a pleasant exchange, Barry quickly led him to see the scene.

"Sudden explosion without warning, no signs of suspected explosives can be found, the cause is still under investigation." Barry frowned, "I'm not going to tell lies, and it's not like I've never seen the bombing scene, but it definitely doesn't get any stranger than that."

Three people were missing in this explosion, and this part is equally puzzling. I mean...... You see, there are no limb fragments, nothing left. It's as if they're out of thin air...... No, you know what I mean? ”

"It sounds like you're talking about evaporation." Shen Lobby.

"That's pretty much it." "And it's even weirder considering it's not the first time." ”

"Not for the first time?" Shen You raised his eyebrows.

"yes, it happened once last Tuesday. A similar explosion in a restaurant. There were no signs, no explosives were found, and that time two people were missing. ”

Barry shrugged.

"We don't have a clue about the series of explosions, and the director is about to go crazy...... Ah, yes, that's why you're here, right? ”

Barry's eyes lit up, and he said mysteriously in a low voice.

"I've heard that you're dealing with aliens...... Are you sure? ”

Although Tianyan was originally a top-secret organization, with the increasing number of paranormal phenomena around the world in the past year, Tianyan's activities have become more and more frequent, and many people have begun to hear about the existence of this organization.

So although it is nominally a top-secret organization and has never officially announced its existence, it is actually not so top-secret for a long time.

"Pretty much."

"Wow, cool."

Barry was quiet for a moment, then asked quieter.

"If you find out that it really has something to do with aliens, will you use 'that' on me?"

"Huh?" Shen You was stunned, "Which one?" ”

"That's it...... Long, rod-shaped. Barry gestured, "They said if you just let that thing flash, you won't remember anything......

Ah yes, if you want to do this, you must remember to set it, don't delete the review. Because I thought about it, if I forgot to write a review tomorrow Singh would definitely be super angry......

Oh yes, and don't delete your memories of the washing machine if you can. I was in such a hurry to go out this morning that I didn't have any clothes in the washing machine, and it would be spoiled if I went back and forgot about it......"

Shen You: "......"

It is worthy of being a well-known person in Zhenglian, and it is better to hear than to see. Now it seems that this attribute is clearly innate, and has nothing to do with his superpowers.

Shen You raised his hand and gestured to stop him from continuing.

"Stop, don't worry, we won't delete your memories."

Barry's mouth moved twice but he didn't make a sound, as if he had stepped on the brakes too fast, and he swallowed back but didn't have time to stop.

"You...... Don't you really want to delete my memories? ”

"Of course. What do I think I am? Men in Black? Shen You said, "But will you go down a little quietly?" Let me do my job? ”

"Oh sure, no problem."

Barry gestured OK.

"You know when I want to be quiet, I can be quiet, the kind that doesn't say a word. I'm actually not that talkative, I used to ...... when I was in class."

Shen You sighed lightly.

Okay, it looks like it's going to be a while.

However, Shen You was soon convinced that he had come to the right place. The anomalous energy readings in this place reached their highest level and have not dissipated even now.

"Sir, the readings have been going up since the beginning...... And it's getting faster and faster. Parr reminded.

Shen You frowned: "Now? Over here? ”

"Yes, right where you are. The reading broke a critical value in an instant, if the calculation was correct...... You should be able to see it by now. ”

Shen You looked up suddenly, and immediately understood what Parr meant.

A burst of lightning.

Golden lightning jumped in the sky above the blockade area like thousands of golden snakes.

A crack was opening little by little under the cluster of countless lightning bolts, like a huge mouth that was swallowing up.

“...... Yes, I saw it. ”
