American Comics: BOSS Invasion

"How could this be...?" Barry was completely bewildered.

"You hadn't been gone long when the motion detectors we set up triggered an alarm. We found him at the lab entrance, severely injured and poisoned!" Cisco replied.

Caitlin added, "He's the one who brought you back, that mysterious person!"

"How could it be him?"

Although Caitlin didn't say it explicitly, Barry immediately understood who she meant.

He suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Quick, notify the police! This attack was orchestrated. It's that person!"

"You mean the Red Streak?" Cisco added.

Caitlin shuddered, saying with slight distaste, "Couldn't you come up with a more normal name?"

"But that person is definitely much faster than Barry. The way he runs, it's like he's leaving a red streak. Fine, fine, then let's rename him the Red Flash!"

Seeing Caitlin's expression gradually changing, Cisco quickly raised his hands in surrender.

"Where did Professor Wells go?"

"Not sure. We haven't been able to reach him since just now. Caitlin wanted to call the police, but I felt like something was fishy, so I thought it was best to tell you first!"

Cisco grabbed a large tablet from the nearby table, tapped it a few times, and displayed it.

"After the last attack, I re-added some surveillance cameras inside and outside the lab.

Originally, it was to guard against enemies, but I didn't expect to see this!"

Cisco's expression was serious. "Barry, I want you to remain calm after you watch the following surveillance footage!"

Looking at their solemn faces, Barry nodded and watched intently.

The enlarged surveillance footage constantly tracked Professor Wells' figure.

From the way he was holding a coffee cup and slowly wheeling his wheelchair towards the tea room, it was clear that he was planning to get a cup of coffee or some other drink.

But just halfway there, he suddenly stopped, abruptly turned his head to look in one direction, and the expression on his face was very sharp.

Within his pupils, faint red lightning flickered, and then a red light flashed, and both he and the wheelchair disappeared.

Barry's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "It's him! The Red Flash kidnapped Professor Wells. We have to rescue him as soon as possible."

Caitlin sighed slightly, without saying a word.

Cisco said, "Barry, don't jump to conclusions. I'm going to slow the video down 100 times. Watch carefully again!"

With that, he opened a special software on the tablet, and the video footage almost froze.

But even in this frozen frame, everyone could clearly see that Professor Wells suddenly stood up on his own, grabbed the wheelchair with a faint wisp of red lightning, and quickly ran out of the surveillance footage.

One second he was still sitting in the wheelchair, and the next he had transformed into the fully armed Reverse-Flash with red lightning.

This change left Barry stunned.

"Wells, Wells, Wells, he..."

But Wells never gave up on you!"

Cisco said in a deep voice, "There must be something more to this!"

After all, he was the Flash. He could watch dramas at a thousand times the speed without being affected, and his thinking speed was also as fast as lightning.

After a long silence, he calmed down.

He was silent for a long time: "Caitlin, I need to increase the amount of training!"

Caitlin nodded: "I understand. I'll remake your plan tonight. But your body needs rest. You're not allowed to move around until dawn tomorrow at the earliest, otherwise it will worsen your injuries."

"Buddy, I think you might need more food!" Cisco looked very relaxed, and actually pulled a small box from under the table, with five or six pizza boxes stacked neatly on top.

"How about pizza? Blue cheese flavor. It's rare in Central City. I ran to several stores to get it!"

The Flash forced a smile and nodded solemnly.

The enemy had surfaced, and the murderer who killed his mother was definitely one of these two red flashes. Although he was reluctant, reason still led him to classify Professor Wells as one of the murderers, and the suspicion was much greater than Qishan's.

After all, Qishan was too young, while Professor Wells could have been the murderer 20 years ago.

Now was a crucial moment. Whether his father could escape prison and clear his name in one fell swoop depended on this. He had to be fully prepared.

----

At night, in Qishan's mansion.

Holding a glass of champagne and leaning sideways on the designer sofa, Qishan was watching the news on TV with a distracted gaze.

Most of his attention was focused on Professor Wells, who was sitting opposite him.

Starting in the afternoon, not only Central City, but the entire American media had exploded. The event of thugs attacking the police station seemed to be the first time it had happened in a city other than Gotham City.

The names of Central City and the Flash also spread far and wide with this incident.

News reports focused on the brutality of the thugs and the police's resourceful and courageous counterattack.

In the mouths of these hosts, the police were not only not incompetent, but also shrewd and capable. Even this attack was a trap prepared in advance by the police station's high-level officials, in order to catch these lawless bandits in one fell swoop.

Those who knew the truth either sneered or kept silent.

The vast majority of the public who did not know the truth could only accept the media's忽悠 (deception).

From their retelling, they learned some information about the development of events. Even the American people, knowing that the news was unreliable and often spoke carelessly, were still somewhat affected.

Compared to those unlucky guys, the five superpowered individuals who attacked the Flash were shielded from the news media.

The cloud of fog initially thrown out by the Weather Wizard enveloped the entire battlefield.

Although there were occasional flashes of electricity inside, it obscured the view, and no one knew what exactly happened inside.

Later, Iron Man died, and his body was cut into countless pieces and piled up there.

Although the silver-white metal fragments attracted some people's attention, no one thought of them as corpses.

In the end, it was only when the police station solved the thugs and sent people to clean up the battlefield that they discovered the body.

At that time, the scene was immediately sealed off.

Moreover, the media focused their attention on the thug attack incident, thinking about抢夺大新闻 (snatching big news). They didn't care at all whether one more person died or one less person died.

Qishan's mouth twitched, he raised his hand to turn off the TV, and turned his head to look at Professor Wells, "How have you considered it? Do you want to cooperate with me?"
