The Death Knell

Su Ming is not an astronomy expert, and his understanding of the concept of the asteroid belt is definitely not as comprehensive as that of professionals like Daisy. But what everyone needs now is to investigate cases, not to study scientific theories.

There is no need to know why the asteroid belt exists, how many asteroids are gathered into disks in different planetary systems, or even to think about what metal elements they contain.

Just know that they are 'stones' floating in the universe, and then look for traces of Barry on these stones.

Speedsters who use the Speed ​​Force often rub the known physical theorems under their feet, but fortunately they still have this friction under their feet, so wherever they pass, they will inevitably leave some traces.

In fact, it is because they are charged, and the electrostatic effect wherever they pass will attract some particles to where they land. It is almost invisible to the naked eye, but it is no problem to identify these by strangulation.

The three of them are currently located at the location of the star HD69830 in the Puppis Nebula. This newly born young star is full of vitality, and the sunlight shining on everyone is blue.

Under this kind of light, everything seems far away, and the silence in the universe can easily make people feel lonely.

Apart from this blue sun, there are only two lava planets in the planetary system. The high temperature of the stars bakes them like briquettes in a furnace, dark, but constantly glowing with red light.

Maybe after a long, long time, the temperature of this star drops, and life may be born on the two planets, but who can say for sure? Sometimes the birth of life seems like an accident.

"The length of this obstacle is one light-year. Although light also takes a year to pass through, it is obvious that our speedsters are faster than light."

Su Ming, who was floating in the blue sunlight, used the yellow light ring as a projector to project a three-dimensional image of the planetary system. He also intercepted an arc in the asteroid belt surrounding the star and enlarged the image:

"After comparing the scene with the game video, I identified almost 80,000 points where Barry once landed. Captain, I need you to follow Jesse and run on these rocks together."

The celestial bodies in the asteroid belt are not all 'small', they are just smaller compared to regular planets, because the debris that is too small are not called asteroids, but space dust.

As for why both of them were asked to run, it was to distinguish the difference between speedsters and non-speedsters when passing this obstacle, so as to compare Barry's thoughts and stride pattern at the time.

As a mercenary, it's normal for him to know about footprint analysis and psychological profiling, right?

The reason why Su Ming didn't run was because he couldn't actually run that fast. He could only fly or teleport, so he couldn't leave any footprints.

By the way, if he is not flying, Captain Carrot is the fastest among many Superman and Superman variants, much faster than Superboy-Prime, because he is a rabbit.

The energetic rabbit-shaped superman also had a strong brain power. He memorized the virtual projected red lines of tens of thousands of targets, and went to get ready to work without saying anything, but Jesse was still kneeling and sitting on the cloak-shaped figure. On the flying carpet, looking a little hesitant, she said to the death knell:

"I might not be able to run this light-year. Without the protection of your magical cloak, I would have been frozen halfway."

"It's a small thing, you saw it, I still have a light ring."

Su Ming, who had been prepared for a long time, raised her hand and gave her a green 'full body film' as she spoke, turning her into a fashion model of red and green:

"Run now with confidence. If you want to participate in the Lightning Cup in the future, you have to try the obstacles, right? Give yourself some confidence. The Speed ​​Force is actually quite idealistic. As long as you think you can do it, you can run faster and better. quick."

She stretched out a hand outside the cloak, and after confirming that the green light film could indeed protect her, she smiled happily again:

"It's so amazing that light can actually be used to create objects. I have never thought about this before. This needs to be written in the paper."

On the Earth where she came from, lanterns and rings didn't exist at all, so she didn't actually know what Deathstroke's ring was.

But not knowing anything is sometimes an advantage. Anyway, she just needs to follow the instructions.

"If you write about the Lantern Ring in your college thesis, you will probably be sent to Arkham for treatment." Deathstroke's expression was a little strange. He shook his head and told a group of uninformed people about extraordinary powers. In the end, they would only be regarded as Mental illness: "Let's not talk about that. Go run. Barry once told me that what he uses for running is actually his heart, a heart that turns into lightning."

So the cloak also carried the thoughtful girl and flew away. She and the captain would start from the starting point of the obstacle and recreate the scene of the disappearance.

It didn't matter if Jesse couldn't remember the route. The cloak would fly in front of her and lead the way little by little. All she had to do was keep her sprained feet.

It's complicated to say, but the real process is that in a flash of lightning, both of them arrived at the finishing point from the starting point, leaving their own footprints on the asteroids that Barry once stepped on.

Su Ming flew behind and analyzed every footprint.

Captain Rabbit's footprints are obviously the shallowest, and even strangulation is difficult to distinguish. After all, the bio-force field of the rabbit-shaped Superman allows his brute force to pedal without destroying these celestial bodies.

But Jesse's footprints were the heaviest. She seemed not to be proficient in controlling the Speed ​​Force. The edges of some of the footprints were blurred, indicating that she turned her toes at certain moments to think about her next choice of footing.

And Barry's footprints looked very pleasing to the eye. I don't know why, but it just looked like he was running very steadily. It was indeed the professional vehicle that Su Ming liked.

Well, after testing, in the previous journey, although the strides of the three people were different, they all moved forward in an orderly manner. This shows that at least when passing this obstacle, Barry's mental state was normal, and In my heart, I believe that I am in a safe environment.

Then the key should be the last step before he enters the Speed ​​Force.

After flying to the last rock, Su Ming met up with the other two people and squatted down to check the difference in the footprints of the three people at the last step.

"He entered the plane of the Speed ​​Force from here." Jesse Quick, who was glowing green, said directly, and pointed to the space in front of him: "I can feel the remnants of the Speed ​​Force, and he didn't have any accidents."

"The running of speedsters is very special. Ordinary people often just touch the ground on their toes in order to pursue speed, but the speedsters always touch the ground with their whole feet." Captain Rabbit also touched his beard and spoke with his ears twitching.

As the owner of super vision, he can also see footprints that ordinary people cannot see.

After checking the footprints, Deathstroke stood up and said, "Well, I can see it, but you ignored one important thing."

"What?" Rabbit and Quirk blinked at the same time.

Su Ming raised his black and yellow visor, and the red eyepiece suddenly lit up. The energy of the universe vibrated the space, and the sound that entered the ears of the two people through bone conduction was as hoarse and dark as a dead soul:

"The footprints Barry left on the previous stone, and the footprints we see in front of us, were both left by his right foot. Now, can any of you tell me why he jumped on one leg to enter the speed force plane?"
