The Death Knell

Barry scratched his hair. He was still hungry and couldn't concentrate at all. It was dark here and made him feel sleepy.

However, he still managed to cheer up, rubbed his face with his hands and asked Bliss:

"What do you mean when you say the death knell is not a death knell? Is it a fake?"

"I don't have the impression that men here can reach this level with guns." Bliss enlarged the image and enlarged Deathstroke's whole body: "This person's bone structure is male."

After Bliss finished speaking, she took screenshots of the police station doorpost behind the death knell, the TV station's broadcast truck, and the death knell itself, measured the horizontal distance between them, and created a scale.

"Gotham TV's broadcast truck uses the 'Amazon' brand model 1999 produced by Metropolis. The height of the carriage is 3.5 meters... The height of the gate of the Gotham Police Department is 6.2 meters in official records, and Due to geological reasons, the settlement will be 0.01 meters per year since 1996...and Cindy Wilson's height...1.73 meters..."

After inputting these data, the host made a beeping sound, just short of a big red cross appearing, which made Bliss shrug.

"It doesn't match. This person is 1.84 meters tall and male... Now it's not only my personal impression, but even the system has confirmed that there is no such person in Gotham."

Barry had already discovered the food left on the table. He took out a little soup from the big pot and put it into his mouth with a big wooden spoon. The unpleasant taste made him shudder. This damn thing tasted like Thick nasal discharge.

But he cheered himself up. He was a superhero, how could he not endure this hardship? He needed nutrition, and he needed it now.

"So the footprints on the top of the dinosaur's head are his, and he killed your dragon."

"Well, thank you for reminding me." Bliss had no expression on her face, and she didn't know what black record she had recorded for Su Ming in her heart: "After recording the news, he and Cindy kidnapped Barbara and two reporters from the TV station. , come here together.”

Barry put the unpalatable sweet soup into his mouth. The soup had cooled down and solidified, and there was still no trace of sweetness. The numbness of his tongue made him unable to speak clearly: "Then they had dinner at your place happily. , walked away, and neither Barbara nor the reporter showed any signs of being coerced."

"This is exactly what I can't figure out..." Bliss also picked out a piece of lettuce from the pot, just licked it and then spit it out. She looked at Barry with incredible eyes and shook her head: "Reporter I can understand the idea, after all, news is a valuable thing, but Barbara..."

"...Have you contacted Commissioner Gordon?" Barry swallowed hard, groaned in pain, took a breath, and then reminded her.

"The death knell calls for him. I don't think I can get through the phone." Bliss started to make calls on the host so that no call records would be left. At the same time, she said to Afu: "You'd better prepare the food quickly. , our guest was eating the food cooked by Deathstroke, and after just a small taste, I felt like I was going to be killed by her."

"Of course, miss, the food is on the stove."

Ah Fu walked up the stairs again to prepare food. Letting the guests go hungry was not what a butler should do.

"Gordon can't be contacted. What's interesting is that this device once traced a license plate number, as well as the location of Alfred and me." Bliss sat down with interest, and found a puddle of cigarette ash next to her. She paused and narrowed her eyes.

"Barbara should have checked." Barry patted his stomach, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Barbara's computer skills are very strong?" Bliss asked again.

"Qiang, it can be said that he is one of the best people on the planet." Barry said about his side of things. He didn't have much contact with the oracle, because his colleagues in Midtown were all science geeks, and they were completely capable of giving advice. He provides all-round logistical support, and the only contact channel between him and Barbara is occasional video calls in the Justice League: "Not only is she very powerful in hacking skills, but she also has commanding talents and leadership. We have many female heroes there. Everyone is willing to listen to her."

Bliss folded her arms quietly and wiped the yellow cigarette scars on the table: "This is interesting, because the Barbara in our world is just an ordinary high school student and has never shown her Talent, I don’t know, Gordon doesn’t know either…”

Barry raised an eyebrow. He seemed to understand something: "But Deathstroke knew it. He brought Barbara to you with a very clear purpose and used your 'Brother Eye' system to find people."

"Well, my system doesn't have a name. Even if I had to give it a name, it would be called Sisters Eye..." Bliss stared at the screen and called up the location that others had queried before. A place called Indian Mountain was... The map sparkled: "Is this death knell the death knell for your world?"

Barry shook his head: "No, our Slade is 1.94 meters tall. He went to Atlantis with Aquaman to look for things. They don't have the ability to travel across dimensions. I am the one responsible for finding reinforcements from the multiverse... ..It turned out to be something unexpected.”

"I know, you have said many times that traveling through the world by integrating the Speed ​​Force is uncertain. You encountered the ghost of time and finally escaped with your life, falling into our world..." Bliss pulled up the information on Indian Hill and checked it carefully, but she couldn't find anything in a junkyard.

"Yes, that's it. Then I found that time went back a little, and it didn't trigger the Flash Point effect. The world is still the same, Gotham is still such a mess." Barry sat on the table next to him, and he tried to wave his arms with the speed force to help Bliss wiped the yellow spots off the table, but the smoky yellow spots grew larger and larger.

"Our world is originally different. Even if it triggers your so-called flash point effect, you can't tell the difference... Then you find that the world that was supposed to be destroyed actually still exists. I, who was supposed to be your enemy, Actually, I'm not crazy yet." Bliss said calmly.

Barry opened his eyes wide, blew on the table, and smiled sheepishly.

"That's it, I now suspect that Deathstroke may have come from another parallel universe, maybe at the same time as me... It is possible that we collided in the Speed ​​Force world, and the time of my arrival was advanced, and his arrival The time was pushed back, and we canceled each other's speed, so there was only a small aftermath that caused changes in your world. So far, it seems that this change is good, and our winning rate has increased."

"I just want to keep my own world. As for helping you fight against Barbatos, I don't have the energy. My world doesn't have as many heroes as you. Here, madmen from all over the world like to come to Gotham. If it weren't for you With the Speed ​​Force, I wouldn’t even leave Gotham.”

Bliss replied calmly, which made Barry a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Alfred's appearance broke the strange atmosphere a few minutes later.

"Miss and Mr. Allen, dinner has been prepared. Today's main course is red wine braised beef. The side dishes include grilled oysters and parsley chicken rolls and lobster sashimi. The main dish is European noodles. However, we are not very rich in time. The beef may be Not bad enough.”

"It's already very good. Send it here. I need to make some preparations. I'm curious about what this strange person wants to do." Bliss said to Afu with a smile, feeling very proud that she could do it in ten minutes. The only one who makes beef stew is her butler.

At the same time, she already had a rough guess in her mind.

"This Deathstroke has his own clear goals and he knows many things."
