The Knights of the DC House

In Central City, Ke Wen, who was brainwashed by Barry with his sage power, is also looking for the truth. At this time, he is still in a stage of doubt. Although the post-it note is his own handwriting, the colleagues around him do behave very wrong.

But memory can't lie. All his memories from childhood to adulthood are in his mind, and they are not false. The memory that Barry used his sage power to fabricate for Ke Wen can be said to be perfect, making Ke Wen unable to find it.

A doubtful point.

So up to now, the only thing Ke Wen can be sure of is that this post-it note written in his own handwriting will tell him a truth, or it may be a prank. Everything must be found before he finds Nora Allen.

Only a woman he didn't know at all could get the answer. And the day passed quickly. With a sports car to travel, Ke Wen quickly traveled throughout Central City and visited all the Nora Allen he knew.

once.

There are only four Nora Allens in the entire Central City. One is 70 years old, one is only three months old, and I have already visited the other one. Just like my colleagues in the newspaper office, they all have their names.

Chatting with himself for the mask of a happy smile, there was no information that he could understand. After chatting, Ke Wen felt that the muscles on his face were about to freeze from laughter. Keeping a smile all the time is also a technical job.

At this time, Ke Wen was sitting in the Cetron chariot, looking at the house in front of him. This is the location of the last Nora Allen on his list. That is, Barry Allen’s mother has been killed by Barry.

Ke Wen, who had been brainwashed and changed his memory, did not feel the danger of approaching Nora Allen so rashly. After confirming that this was Nora Allen's residence, he got out of the car and walked over.

Standing at the door and ringing the doorbell, Ke Wen waited there quietly. After standing at the door for almost fifteen minutes, Ke Wen still didn't hear the sound of anyone coming to open the door.

"Hey, I picked the wrong time? I should be home from work at this time." Looking at the watch on his wrist, Ke Wen was a little confused as to why no one came to open the door. In this case, wouldn't the doubts in his heart have to be deepened?

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

A confused voice sounded behind Ke Wen. Turning around, Ke Wen saw Barry Allen standing there in casual clothes, looking at him with doubtful eyes. I have to say that Barry Allen's acting skills are very good. At this moment

Barry acted as if he didn't know Ke Wen at all. He was simply curious about why a young man appeared at the door of his parents' house. Even Ke Wen couldn't tell any clues from this behavior.

He couldn't see it before he was brainwashed, and it's even less likely after he was brainwashed.

"Ah, sorry, I'm a reporter from Central City Daily. I'm writing a headline about the changes in Central City during this time. I just happened to be out collecting information recently. I want to know what people in this city think of Central City. This is not just passing by after get off work. , I was thinking of paying a visit. But it seems that the owner of this house is not at home."

In desperation, Ke Wen also made a somewhat lame excuse, but combined with the recorder Ke Wen was holding and the camera bag he was carrying, the confused Barry was relieved of his doubts. Then, he smiled and said: "

Then you came at the wrong time. My parents are taking care of my wife at my house now. If you want to know what the people of Central City think of this city, do you know if I am suitable?"

"Your parents? So you are?"

"Barry Allen, Central City Crime Scene Forensics."

"Ke Wen, reporter from Central City Daily."

After a brief exchange of greetings, Ke Wen also gave up his plan to visit Nora Allen and started negotiating with Barry who appeared here. At this time, he did not know that it was because of his strange behavior at Central City Daily.

, will allow Barry to appear here. Because Barry does not understand Ke Wen’s situation at this time. According to the level of sage power he has mastered, Ke Wen at this time should be like other central city citizens, enjoying this place created by himself.

It’s the utopia that comes out.

He will smile when chatting with himself, and will be satisfied with the life at this time, with a decent job and a generous salary. When he completes the last stage, he will be able to compensate for the identity he wants. By then, no matter what

Either he, Ke Wen, or others in the Justice League will be happy. But why, Ke Wen, who was supposed to enjoy life under such brainwashing, once again embarked on the road to find the so-called truth, and those conveniences

When did he put it up?

Barry couldn't figure it out. Even with the Speed ​​Force and Sage Power, Barry didn't understand when Ke Wen wrote those sticky notes. If he hadn't seen Ke Wen's abnormal behavior in Iron Mountain Prison, things would have happened.

Might be like a turn for the worse.

But similarly, when Barry was full of doubts about Ke Wen's behavior, Ke Wen was also curious about the Nora Allen's son, Barry Allen, who appeared in front of him. Because at this time, he was not alone with himself.

The Barry Allen talking to him made Ke Wen feel real, yes, it was real, unlike the colleagues he got along with in the newspaper office. When each of them smiled at Ke Wen, Ke Wen only felt that they were all wearing masks.

The two were acting like they were having fun at this time. As the instigator, Barry Allen acted as if he had just met Ke Wen, and kept testing Ke Wen with words to confirm whether he had been brainwashed by his own sage power.

As for Ke Wen, Ke Wen, who has been brainwashed and had his memory replaced, plays his true character. He has indeed integrated into the new identity that Barry created for himself, this new life in Central City.

But the sticky notes reminding him one after another also aroused Ke Wen's strong curiosity. He had to find out the truth about why he wrote these sticky notes, and why he felt that the city he lived in was a bit false.

The reason also includes the colleagues around me, why do they laugh? Why do I only smile when I can show more emotions?

The two people negotiating on the street also talked from six o'clock until the lanterns came on. As night fell, the calm and peaceful Central City also entered the nightlife.

"Yeah, we've been talking so late. I'm really sorry for disturbing you so much." Ke Wen, who noticed that it was getting late, also said sorry to Barry there.

"No, I think it's okay. I didn't expect that you have only been in Central City for three years, and you have more feelings than me, who grew up in Central City. It seems that you are enjoying your life in Central City."

After an hour of testing Ke Wen, Barry finally confirmed that the Ke Wen in front of him was indeed brainwashed by him. It was just the curiosity rooted deep in his heart, and these conveniences that he didn't know when they would appear.

Post-it notes made Ke Wen curious and wanted to find out why these sticky notes appeared around him. Such curiosity is understandable, and what he had to do was to make Ke Wen's curiosity disappear. It was best

The way is to follow Ke Wen.

"But then again, I seem to have answered the question about my views on Central City on behalf of my parents. But I think my parents may have more feelings about the changes in Central City. They are older than me and have experienced it.

Two eras have passed, how about the day after tomorrow, I will help you make an appointment with my parents, and you will interview them again?"

"Is that so? It seems like a good reference too. You're such a nice person, Barry."

Ke Wen also didn’t expect that the Barry Allen he knew was so enthusiastic that he planned to help him complete this investigation. After all, this matter was not very glorious, but Barry gave him a way to contact Nora Allen.

Reason, Ke Wen had no reason to let it go. After getting Barry's approval, he also agreed and confirmed that he would be in contact with the last Nora Allen the day after tomorrow.

"I just provide an information channel for a guy who loves Central City. It's a pleasure chatting with you, Ke Wen."

"Me too, Barry, you are much more real than my colleagues."

Barry, who was about to say goodbye to Ke Wen, also heard these words. He was about to turn around and froze. He turned around again, looked at Ke Wen, kept a curious facial expression, and asked there: "Real? You don't

Maybe you want to say that those colleagues of yours are all fake."

"No, of course they are real. It's just that I'm not used to how they deal with life, and it makes me feel a little uncomfortable. But in fact, I'm doing the same thing, just like them, but I can't continue acting.

But they can. So, Barry, I think it's great to meet you today and chat with you for so long. It makes me feel that this is the normal way to get along with people."

Ke Wen's words made Barry's newly relieved heart rise again. Looking at the young man in front of him who had been brainwashed by him, he didn't understand why he had lost all his memories and only had new memories and new identities weaved by himself.

, will still question the city they live in, the life they have adapted to long ago. This is very unreasonable, why do other central city citizens who have been brainwashed by their sage power not feel this way.

"Normal? Then I'm curious, why are your colleagues not getting along normally?" With doubts in his heart,

"It's not abnormal, I just don't think they need to do this. You know, Barry, before I met you, I had a bad day today. I almost had a car accident on the way to work and didn't sleep well all night.

But when I went to the newspaper office, everyone I met told me to smile. Smiling can show that we are happy. The problem is that I really didn’t have the heart to smile at that time, but in their eyes

, I have to laugh, I cannot have the right to be sad.

They told me that as long as I laugh, everything will get better. I know everything will get better, but that shouldn't be the reason why I have to laugh, right? So, I'm really not used to this way of getting along with people.

Well, I cry when I need to cry, I don’t feel happy when I shouldn’t, and I keep smiling all the time. In the end, I don’t even know how to be unhappy, so the meaning of my smile is gone.”

At this time, Ke Wen didn't know that the person in front of him was the instigator. He was like a central city citizen who had found a central city citizen who he thought was as normal as him, and was pouring out his feelings about the day. He, who should have been accustomed to everything,

After getting to know Barry, a normal person just like himself, he said this, but every word Ke Wen said had a big impact on Barry's heart.

He did not expect that even in this situation, Ke Wen could still detect the anomalies in Central City. He discovered it through the new identity he had woven for him, rather than the preconceived notions at the beginning. This situation is easy to solve, but also difficult to solve. As long as

After passing the test of his mother, Ke Wen will gradually adapt to the atmosphere of Central City and become the colleagues in his words, facing everything with a smile.

"Well, to a certain extent, I agree with you. After all, life is full of things. You can't guarantee that you will laugh at everything. But this is also the characteristic of Central City, isn't it? Everyone who comes

People here will be infected by the happiness of Central City. Here, there will be no common bad things, no crime, and no violation of order, so everyone can smile and say good morning, good afternoon, and good night to each other.

It’s always been like this, Ke Wen, Central City is worthy of you facing him with a smile, then, see you the day after tomorrow.”

"See you the day after tomorrow."

After saying goodbye to Barry, Ke Wen also returned to his Cetron sports car. Looking at Barry who had disappeared into the crowd and could not be seen, the smile that Ke Wen had shown to Barry just now slowly faded away.

The Central City at that time also entered the night life, with busy traffic, bustling crowds, and colorful neon lights hitting Ke Wen's face leaning against the car window from time to time, making him a little tired of every smiling Central City citizen on the street at this time.

.

"Is it right that this has always been the case? If this is the characteristic of the central city, then what about those people living in other cities and other countries outside the central city? Can they also face everything with a smile every day?

Speaking of which, it’s been a long time since I left Central City..."

While murmuring, Ke Wen did not notice that a white light appeared on the drive that had been hanging on the steering wheel and was regarded as a dashboard, like a pair of eyes. While Ke Wen was still looking at the scenery outside the window, the white light showed

His eyes were bent into crescents, seeming to express his approval of Ke Wen's courage to question the city he lived in and everything that happened around him as a matter of course.

When Ke Wen came back from his thoughts, the white light on the drive also disappeared, preventing Ke Wen from discovering the clues.

"Forget it, you will know what the truth is when you meet Nora Allen the day after tomorrow. Next, let's live a good life these days~"

Ke Wen, who had adjusted his emotions, did not continue to linger on the street. These Central City citizens who still had smiles on their faces could not affect Ke Wen at this moment. As soon as he stepped on the accelerator, this black Batman car that combined the unjust universe

Technology, Lex Black Technology, Krypton Black Technology and equipped with AI Batman's Cetron tank just entered the traffic flow, ending ordinary citizen Ke Wen's day in Central City.

As night falls, Barry Allen also appears in Iron Mountain Prison. At this time, inside Iron Mountain Prison, there is Wally, the tool of the Speed ​​Force, and with the help of a group of villains who were brainwashed by Barry with the power of the Saint, that prison

The base station transmission tower that had only been in prototype before was completed at this time. The alien driver who had been staying here, the turtle man, did not take off his disguise. He just stood there with the new god of Apokolips, Mantis, admiring the launch of this base station.

tower.

After Barry appeared in Iron Mountain Prison, Alien Drive also turned around and looked at his old rival. At this time, Barry was silent, and his eyes were also looking at the established base station transmission tower. But his eyes revealed

But the message was full of doubts. Barry, who had reached the last step, looked at the base station transmission tower and wondered whether this could complete the beautiful new world in his heart.

"Don't worry, although the static force, speed force, and sage force are not powerful, they are enough. The new world you want will come, but before that, you haven't told me about the fake brainwashed by you.

How is the Masked Knight? I remember you arranged a good identity for him. Why is he still acting like that? How was the conversation just now?"

"He didn't have any questions, and he had no doubts about the new identity I weaved. He was just curious, and coupled with the guidance of those sticky notes, he began to wonder about the origin of the sticky notes, but I took care of all this.

I arranged for my mother to have a conversation with him to dispel his doubts. As for those sticky notes, I have already checked them and they are gone. But can you really give me a guarantee?"

Answering the question of the alien drive, Barry also asked, the reason why he has reached this point, the reason why he still does this even after knowing that the world he is in has been modified by others, there is only one reason, and that is his own

Mother. Having experienced the Flashpoint incident, he understood that no matter how he changed the past, as long as he changed the historical reality of his mother's death, a series of timeline chain reactions would be enough to destroy the universe and then restart it.

Then he, Superman, Batman or other people he knows will repeat this tragic process. This is an unsolvable question. No matter how he answers it, it will be wrong. He has no choice but to skip. Until, he is tracing

During the escape of the Turtle Man from Tieshan Prison, he met this alien driver, and the battle that was supposed to take place stopped with the man who separated from the alien driver.

Because Barry saw with his own eyes a robot that was separated from the Alien Drive and turned into the image of his mother in front of him. This was the first time that Barry had seen this situation. When the Alien Drive used this trick to transform into his mother, he

He should have used the Speed ​​Force lightning to teach this bastard a lesson. But when he saw this bionic robot separated from the alien drive, transformed into the appearance of his mother, and looked at him, Barry gave up.

Because eyes can't deceive, he misses his mother. Every Mother's Day, he travels back in time and space to go back to the day his mother was killed eleven years ago to contact her, making him no longer familiar with his mother.

So when Nora Allen, whom Barry thought was a fake, looked at him, Barry understood that she was his mother, the mother who loved him.

Barry couldn't do anything to his mother. At the same time, he also understood that he couldn't fight the alien drive. He couldn't bear the pain of losing his mother like this because he couldn't do anything. He was like this because he couldn't change the past.

Watching his mother die. But now, at the moment when he saw Nora Allen appearing in front of him, Barry also had an idea in his heart. If he can't change the past, then why not change the present?

The moment Barry had this idea, the Sage Power chose him, or in other words, in response to Barry's wishes, the Speed ​​Force brought the Sage Power, which contains infinite wisdom, to Barry. With the control of the Speed ​​Force, Barry quickly

I quickly mastered this sage power that contains infinite wisdom and can control other people's thoughts. At the same time, the thoughts in my heart became concrete.

Since the memory of my own reality has been artificially modified, why don't I modify this modified memory more thoroughly, so that the citizens of Central City can completely forget the memory that their mother died eleven years ago and their father was wrongfully imprisoned, and then use the speed to

Try your best to destroy all the data from that year. In this way, no one will doubt the identity of Nora Allen, and then cooperate with the alien driver in front of you.

The memory of the whole world is modified with the help of the static force, the sage power, and the speed force. The static force stops everything. The speed force is responsible for providing infinite power to assist the sage power in connecting people's thoughts around the world. Finally, it is the sage power that connects the thoughts according to the connections.

Carry out a comprehensive memory modification and create a beautiful new world with no sadness but only happiness.

In that new world, he is no longer the Flash, but Barry Allen, and his friends, even the darkest Batman, can have a perfect family life. As for Ke Wen, this one was initially dismissed

The victims of Doctor Manhattan's modification of reality can also have a new identity in the new world. To a certain extent, he helped Ke Wen, and all of this rested on the base station transmission tower established in Iron Mountain Prison at this time.

This tower will be the hope to end your nightmare, making all tragedies in the world disappear, leaving only the beginning of happiness.

"Don't worry, I can't think of the possibility of failure. You are the fastest man in the world and the greatest Flash. As long as you still think about your family, I think this plan will not fail. Or do you think it will?"

It feels very good to watch your mother die like this, when you have the ability to change it, and it does not cause harm to others, and even brings happiness."

Alien Drive's words whispered in Barry's ear, and Barry's eyes that were still struggling became firm. Yes, we have come to this point. If we just give up like this, then what's the point of doing so much?

Soon, everything will be over, the mother can truly be resurrected, and everyone can be happy. Just like himself before, he can save everyone in an instant.

"I understand, you don't need to worry about Kamen Rider. Once the day after tomorrow passes, everything will be a new beginning."

"Really? I'm looking forward to it."

After getting Barry's assurance, Alien Drive also walked towards the base station transmission tower. The three of them just looked at the tower and waited for the day after tomorrow.
