Hiding in the sand, splitting into many places, starting with Arkham

The Shimizu in the Demon Slayer world has just gotten on track, the Shimizu in the Naruto world is following Kazakami Senran to replenish his foundation, and the Shimizu in the DC world is leading his men to collect protection fees.

Carmine's death and Harvey Dent being chased around by Shimizu allowed Shimizu to become a rising top figure in Gotham's underworld.

The Hogg Alliance gained momentum for a time, and Shimizu took the opportunity to absorb many new members.

Gotham City is now busy electing a new mayor.

In the eyes of those politicians, gangs are just a minor problem. Electing a new mayor is the real deal. For a while, the government didn't bother with the chaos that occurred after the upheaval in Gotham's underworld.

In the eyes of the gangsters who have been in Gotham for a long time, betrayal and exploitation are the most common things.

Harvey Dent calculated Shimizu this time, using Shimizu as a gun, but did not directly attack Shimizu. According to the Gotham underworld, this is not even considered betrayal.

But the unhappy Shimizu still pursued Harvey Dent relentlessly. The latter knew that he was not Shimizu's opponent, so he decisively abandoned most of the assets of the Two-Face Gang on the surface, turned to the darkness, and hid.

The biggest gain was naturally the Hogg Alliance, but in fact, the Iceberg Lounge was not far behind.

The Hogg Alliance's foundation is relatively shallow after all, and it cannot become a big fat man in one bite, but the Iceberg Lounge, as the only large force that has not suffered a major blow in this incident, is eating more happily.

Since then, the power structure of Gotham's underworld has been reshuffled, and there are only two standing at the top.

The Iceberg Lounge and the Hogg Alliance.

… …

… …

The chaos in Gotham does not affect Central City.

This place can almost be said to be one of the best habitable cities in the DC world.

It is sunny all year round, not only with tall buildings, but also with greening, close to the sea, and full of art and culture.

The cities with the lowest crime rates in the United States are Metropolis and Central City, because Superman and the Flash deal with crime the fastest.

It's just that now, a little accident seems to have happened.

"So, guys, what should we do now?"

Barry Allen sat on the steps of the Star Labs, scratching his head in annoyance, looking at his companions and asking.

Vibe, who has the ability to control vibrations and shock waves, physicist, and technical genius—Cisco Ramon.

And Caitlin Snow, who has a double doctorate in biomedicine and physics and has cryogenic abilities.

Originally, there was also Dr. Harrison Wells as their leader, but this one was actually Reverse Flash Eobard Thawne, who died last year.

"I don't know, without the assistance of a speedster, how can we defeat another speedster, and one who has absorbed the Speed Force of more than one other speedster."

Cisco shrugged and drank coffee.

"Then why can't we create another speedster again?"

Caitlin tilted her head and said.

Barry Allen, whose Speed Force was absorbed by the opponent's speedster, raised his head with shining eyes.

"Yes, we can recreate a particle accelerator and replicate the scene of the night I gained the Speed Force, blowing up the particle accelerator while letting me be struck by lightning, maybe I can restore my superpowers!"

"Okay, let's not talk about whether you will regain your speed or be struck to death by lightning. How are we going to remake the particle accelerator now?"

Cisco asked, spreading his hands.

"Didn't you help Harrison Wells make it in the first place?"

Barry Allen said.

"No, Barry, making a particle accelerator costs money, and the particle accelerator that Harrison Wells once made is different from a conventional particle accelerator. That is the technology he brought from the future. I think you know very well how big the difference is between a particle accelerator that can guide the generation of dark matter and other particle accelerators. We only know a part of it. Wells never taught anyone the real core technology!"

Now it was Cisco's turn to scratch his head.

"It doesn't matter, Cisco. Why don't you ask me what I found at the Central City University's physics laboratory exhibition? Although it is not perfect and has low power, I saw Wells' live simulation demonstration at the exhibition. That's how he got a large amount of corporate investment. If we can take it over and改造it, we can directly connect it to the arc magnetic field tunnel below!"

"But how can we get that particle accelerator? And even if we have the ability to改造it, it would cost tens of millions of dollars just to start the particle accelerator once. Even if we sell all our assets, we can't raise so much money."

Cisco poured cold water again.

"Ahem, boys, why don't you ask me what I found?"

Caitlin smiled gently, flipped the laptop over, and pushed it in front of the two.

Displayed above is a collection of files of master's graduates from Central City University in 2008. On the last page is a photo of Shimizu after turning into Keanu Reeves.

Flash Water, Department of Physics Engineering, tutor Harrison Wells.

"Are you saying that this student of Wells can help us remake the particle accelerator? But we still don't have the money to start the particle accelerator. Vacuum tubes, rare elements, enough electricity, particle aligners, and we have to rent a supercomputer for real-time calculations…"

Caitlin clicked on a web page next to it.

This is a web page for enterprise inquiry. The company investigated is Hogg Motors.

"What? Company registered capital… 20 million US dollars registered last month? Estimated net worth of 160 million US dollars? We never heard Wells say he had such a wealthy student!"

This is the accountant helping Shimizu operate.

Just mixing in the underworld can only get so much after all, and development will also be limited.

Having an entrepreneur identity on the surface like Penguin to hold companies and some assets will be much more convenient in many places.

"But even if he is Wells' student, why should he help us? And is he really trustworthy? What if he is a villain? Can he get the core components of the particle accelerator?"
