The Death Knell

It was a mask that had never been seen before, and it didn't seem to exist in any known stories.

It looks a bit like the style of "V for Vendetta", with a pointed chin and a beautiful curved design, but there is no smile or mustache, only a shiny silver metal material and glowing crescent-shaped eyes.

In Barry's memory, the other party did have a body, and it was humanoid. However, Barry ran too fast at the time and was hypnotized in a very short period of time, so he did not see the body clearly and thought it was a snake body.

The other party's method should be some kind of mental control, probably some special application of the anti-life equation. The moment Barry looked at him, he completely lost himself.

But this means at least two things.

First, the other party knew that in today's Lightning Cup match, Barry would not be carrying the spider totem and X metal patch that Deathstroke had arranged for him before, and he was completely in a situation without psychic protection.

If you want to know these secret details, you must have an informant within the Incarnation of Justice. To put it bluntly, there is a traitor among a large group of superheroes in the multiverse.

This is normal. You cannot require everyone to have Batman-level willpower. When the number of people increases, it is inevitable that capitulationists will sneak in.

Maybe some people really think that Darkseid is invincible, or are they interested in the benefits that the dark tyrant can provide?

In addition, superheroes can also be controlled by the anti-life equation. In comics, even Superman has been affected by it.

But if you think about it this way, are the traitors within the Incarnation of Justice willing to serve Darkseid, or are they also brainwashed? It's hard to tell.

The second point is that the other party never harmed Barry. Maybe he planned to use him for something, maybe he was a bait, maybe he wanted to use the Speed ​​Force to accomplish something.

Unlike other speedsters, Barry generates the Speed ​​Force with every step he takes, so this may be the key to him becoming a kidnapping target.

However, the clues currently known are not enough to provide a logical and rigorous inference, and can only stay at the guessing stage.

The small strangulating tentacles pulled out Barry's spine, wiped some unknown mucus on his body, and then retracted into the armor.

"Ah, it hurts." Barry rubbed his neck, with a look of aggrievement on his face: "At least tell me first so that I can be mentally prepared."

"Have you ever had an injection when you were a child? The doctor will lie to you and tell you to count down to three before injecting, but they usually do it when they count to two." Su Ming smiled and hugged Xiao Shen's neck, pulling him to He rubbed his head in his arms: "I just saved the nonsense and skipped the counting step."

"Haha, who told you not to cooperate with my portrait?" Bobo stood up from the picnic cloth with a pipe in his mouth. He didn't want to eat roasted camel at all: "If you were not so keen on eating before, but gave me more With some accurate descriptions, wouldn’t it save us from this pain?”

Barry didn't know what to say for a moment, but he was sure of one thing today, that is, as a detective, Bobo did not have any artistic talent.

That's right, old drunkards like Orangutan and Alberta, their hands are shaking when they write, let alone draw.

There are drunkards among painters, but they are basically abstract. Such works cannot be used to solve crimes.

While the two were talking, Su Ming had already drawn the appearance of the unknown enemy, as realistic as a photo.

The enemy looked about 1.85 meters tall and thin. He should be a human, but his whole body was gray-white.

I don’t know why, but it feels like it was supposed to have color, but it ‘faded’ for some reason. It’s not an ordinary gray, but it looks like a pencil drawing after it has been erased by an eraser.

"This is the person who attacked Barry, Jesse, Roger, do you know him?" Deathstroke showed the portrait to the two of them, because he could instantly hypnotize Barry while he was running in space, so this person would not be an ordinary character.

Speedster villain? Super alien villain? It's possible.

The captain who was eating carrots first shook his head. He said that he had never seen this person before. Although the masked man in the picture looked like a human being, Rabbit was not sure whether he came from a certain earth.

Roger didn't know it, and Jesse didn't know her either. She was just a girl who came to the big city from the countryside, and her experience was still far behind.

After Alberta and Bobo also shook their heads, Su Ming knew that this clue was basically dead and had to change his mind.

What might be special about the world we live in now? Barry came here after a flash in the dream of flowers. What should it mean?

Although you can immediately go back to find President Superman and screen the second and fifth boys in the incarnation of justice, that is still a clue.

But now that we are here, we have to investigate before we can leave with peace of mind.

"No one knows this person, so let's put this line of investigation aside for the time being. So Barry, have you been to the place we are currently at before?" Deathstroke asked Flash again, who was moving his arms and legs.

He was hugged by the death knell around his neck, but he still looked like he had found peace of mind to rely on.

"Isn't this New York?" The Flash pointed to the Statue of Liberty standing on the sea in the distance: "But since you asked me that, this shouldn't be the New York I've seen, right?"

"Obviously not, hiccup." The witch who had been drinking pickles shook her head. Now she was still sitting on the picnic cloth, and even looked like she was about to take off her shoes: I borrowed my strength from Lucifer, who is the best among sorcerers. A special example, if you were accompanied by another spell caster, you might not even be able to use a single spell here. "

"Besides, you should understand just by looking at the streets. How can there be no one on the street in a big city like New York?" the orangutan added while holding his own small wine flask to toast the witch.

The Flash pointed behind everyone at this moment:

"Ah, someone showed up."

Everyone turned around and saw that it was indeed what The Flash said. There was a 'half-person' sliding on the ground not far away. The other person didn't seem to see the group of people having a picnic in the middle of the road at all, and just drifted to a certain place. place.

How should I put it? He looked like a flesh-and-blood bust, dressed like an office white-collar worker in mid-life crisis, being dragged away by invisible threads on the ground.

The speed was neither urgent nor slow, and there was a pause in the middle. It was probably crossing a zebra crossing.

"It looks more like a ghost." Jesse's mouth twitched and she hid behind the rabbit. She was really afraid of these mysterious things.

Because it is impossible to understand.

"It's not a ghost." Alberta is an exorcist expert. She can tell at a glance that this is a living person: "Although it is a bit strange, I don't understand the situation here, so I can only find a way to get him here to study it."

She looked at Deathstroke as she spoke, obviously wanting him to do something.

If I make a mistake, then a half-moving corpse will be a bit disgusting, so it is better to let a mercenary like Deathstroke who is good at dealing with corpses handle it.
