The Death Knell

Audiences without the Speed ​​Force are having a hard time. Neither the Rogue Gang nor the commentator, the Ambush Bug, have cold drinks to eat. But Captain Cold is not worried about this problem. He has a cryogun. He only needs to worry about whether he will shoot himself and his friends. Something that would be too cold.

The ambush bug glanced at the cold drink truck a little longingly, swallowed his saliva, and continued his explanation work.

After all, the first batch of contestants participating in the preliminaries have been introduced, and the competition is about to begin.

"Kucha!!!"

With such a bolt of lightning striking in front of the commentary desk, this was the starting gun. The players started taking steps the moment they saw the lightning, because they were already delayed when they heard the sound.

Various electric lights appeared on the track, and in just a blink of an eye, everyone arrived at the first obstacle 300 kilometers away.

The first place is naturally Xiaofang from Earth 0, but he is actually only half a body faster than the last place. After all, he only ran this distance. Everyone is a speedster, and the gap between each other is very small.

A special camera was used in the game, probably a Speed ​​Force device. Everyone could see the distant game through the large screen hanging overhead.

And with the cold drinks, their throats were no longer dry, and now they all began to cheer loudly, each with different supporters.

"Who do you support?"

Never before had he seen so many speedsters racing. Jesse looked at the big screen excitedly, clenching his fists with his little hands, and asking Deathstroke with a red circle around his mouth.

"Of course it's Barry Allen from Earth 0. The Speed ​​Force was created by him, and that's my friend." No matter who asked, he would unconditionally support his 'vehicle'. After all, as the Supreme Mage, the key is It's a matter of helping relatives rather than helping others: "What about you? Jesse, who do you support among so many players?"

"Uh... the Barry I know is not in this group. He hasn't played yet." Jesse stood on tiptoes and looked towards the player warm-up area on the side of the field. There was a skinny Barry Allen there. He was doing warm-up exercises with a look of helplessness on his face, and was still being pestered into conversation by a black woman.

Seeing this scene, Jesse's little face wrinkled. She really couldn't stand the 'talker' attribute of Iris on Earth 1. The eldest sister was a good person, but she liked talking to people too much.

They have to talk at every turn, no matter how big or small they are, and they will mess around regardless of whether they understand it or not. Sometimes their ideas are even more childish than that of a college student like me.

As we talked, she seemed like the embodiment of a nightmare.

Little Jesse also suffered a lot. When she went to Earth to help her father, Iris talked about her countless times.

To be honest, it's hard for Jesse to understand how Barry can endure so much nagging. Maybe some men like to be nagged by women. Is this love?

"Ah, I saw it. It's the Barry from Earth 1 of the CW multiverse."

Following the girl's gaze, Su Ming also showed a sympathetic expression, sighed and took a large gulp of cold beer into his mouth.

Of course he had watched the TV series "The Flash" in his previous life. When he was following the show, he was looking forward to the fat black woman named Iris 'death' every day, because she was so annoying, and her character interpretation took over the whole show. All ruined.

But now, seeing a living person with his own eyes and the expression of the Flash enjoying it, Su Ming only felt blessings in his heart.

I hope this couple can live together forever, stay together forever, and be in love forever.

To put it in terms of low emotional intelligence, that is, never get divorced, and don’t let this black woman come out to harm others...

"Do you know our Barry?" Jesse blinked. She was even more curious about this Deathstroke, because he really knew a lot of things.

As the daughter of Dr. Harrison Wells, what she admires most is people who are knowledgeable, and Deathstroke, who has a deep understanding of several multiverses, is simply too handsome.

"I know, but I haven't spoken. I have a better relationship with the guys from Legends of Tomorrow." The surroundings were very noisy, and people were cheering loudly for the players they supported. Su Ming could only shout in reply: "You sit down Passed the Waverider? That Time Lord ship."

"Ah, so you are their friend! Let me tell you, no wonder you are such a good person." Jesse hit her palm with her small fist, and she picked up the soda bottle and toasted with the death knell: "I have known them, but it's only been a long time. No more, how are they doing recently?"

"Not bad. Sarah just got married to Sharp not long ago, and I helped her organize the wedding." Su Ming smiled and toasted with her, then shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity that you didn't go to the wedding, otherwise we might still be able to attend the wedding. We’ve known each other for a few days.”

"What happened a few days ago? I was still in class." Jesse also pouted regretfully. Hearing that he missed Sarah's wedding was obviously a shock to her.

"Don't be sad. Missing a friend's wedding is something that happens to every adult. There are many reasons." Su Ming said dark words and patted the girl on the shoulder: "I will send you a copy of the wedding video later. , let’s watch the game now.”

As soon as the two of them spoke, the players had disappeared and they all entered the speed force plane.

After all, the space of the Hall of Justice is not infinite. Only the first 1% of the journey is in the material world, and the remaining 99% of the venue is arranged in the speed force plane.

And through the magical Speed ​​Force camera, everyone can still watch the game in the stands and 'enjoy' the commentary from professionals.

"As you can see, Barry from Earth 0 still maintains the first place. He is preparing to pass the 78th obstacle! That is, running from an asteroid belt in the universe, and there is no oxygen during this journey. , the temperature is also extremely low, this is a double test of the players’ speed, whether they will be frozen into ice first, or pass through the obstacles first!”

The ambush bug had already stood up excitedly and was drooling over the explanation. Being able to explain the speedster's game was also a big challenge for him, at least the speed of his tongue was very high:

"Following him closely is the Mercury Flash from Earth 44! His ability is to expand the speed of the Speed ​​Force at high temperatures. In other words, the frictional heat generated as he runs will make him faster and faster ! So now he is half a body behind the first place, which means that he may overtake him in the second half of the schedule!"

"This is really one hell of a group."

Su Ming touched his chin and gave an evaluation. The fastest speedsters seemed to be in this group.

Although there are no Speed ​​​​and Savitar to compete, and there are no Reverse Flash and Black Flash, this is a game for good people, not played by bad guys.

"They are so fast, my God." Jesse Quick's face was full of admiration. As one of the speedsters, she is the one who can really feel the difference in speed: "You Flashes of the Multiverse Is it all so scary? I suddenly felt like I was a cripple."

"Don't think so, girl, you also have your own advantages. You are one of the few speedsters who can fly, which makes you better than many people."

Deathstroke, who was in a good mood today, smiled and comforted her. Jesse Quick may not be fast enough, but she is definitely not slow either. Especially the fact that she can rely on the speed force to glide in the air represents a great advantage in battle.

But at this moment, the venue suddenly became quiet, and the audience opened their mouths one by one, as if they had seen something incredible, and there was a sudden silence.

When Su Ming looked at the big screen again, he discovered something strange.

That was his own Xiaodian who was leading the race just now. After passing through the obstacle area, he suddenly disappeared in front of the camera and disappeared for no apparent reason... (To be continued)
