Chapter 199

Before I knew it, I had arrived at Dr. Harrison Wells' office.

"Shall we have a chat?" Dr. Harrison Wells asked Su Quan with a smile.

Su Quan readily agreed, "That's exactly what I was thinking."

"Caitlin, show Ms. Shado around. I'd like to have a chat with Mr. Su Quan," Dr. Harrison Wells instructed Caitlin Snow with a smile.

"Good."

Caitlin Snow nodded, smiled politely and kindly at Su Quan, and left the office with Shado.

"Bang!"

The office door was closed.

Dr. Harrison Wells paused for a moment, then smiled and slowly said, "You mentioned before that you wanted to invest in STAR Labs. May I ask why?"

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Su Quan sat down on the sofa opposite him.

Dr. Harrison Wells chuckled and said, "Of course it's true."

"I didn't invest in STAR Labs, I invested in you!"

Dr. Harrison Wells responded with an "Oh," and asked with a smile, "May I know what you think is good about me?"

Su Quan raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Of course I'm optimistic about your personal abilities. What else could I be optimistic about? Your acting skills, or your ruthlessness?"

Dr. Harrison Wells' smile froze, "I... I don't understand what you're saying?"

"You understand, Dr. Harrison Wells!"

"Or—Alberd Thawne? You haven't heard anyone call you by your real name in a long time, have you?"

Dr. Harrison Wells looked at Su Quan and slowly took off his glasses. "It really has been a long time since I've heard of him."

After saying that, he slowly stood up and stared coldly at Su Quan: "Since you know who I am, you should know what kind of abilities I have. You shouldn't have revealed my identity."

"Hmph—" Su Quan chuckled and casually waved his hand, saying, "Stop pretending. Barry Allen hasn't become the Flash yet, and his Speed Force hasn't been activated, or rather, it hasn't been born yet!"

"You're not crippled now, but you're practically crippled. Kill me? Torture me? Bury me? You can't do any of that, can you?"

"Then sit down properly. I'm not going to pretend anymore. I'm laying my cards on the table."

Dr. Harrison Wells, his face ashen, sneered, "What can you do to me if I don't sit down?"

"Thump!"

Dr. Harrison Wells buckled at the knees and knelt down, his face filled with astonishment and horror.

"If you don't want to sit, then kneel."

Su Quan's voice rang out behind Dr. Harrison Wells. Before she could figure out what ability Su Quan had used to make her kneel, she was instantly wide-eyed by this move.

"God— Speed Force!"

"How do you have the Speed Force?!"

If we exclude Su Quan, Dr. Harrison Wells is currently the person in the world who knows the Speed Force best, bar none!

"No, that's not right. My speed hasn't recovered. This isn't the Speed Force. This isn't the normal Speed Force!"

Dr. Harrison Wells sensed his own speed, and there was no change.

"Who exactly are you?!"

Su Quan quickly approached him, looking down at him, his arm transforming into a blade, and began to twitch rapidly.

Dr. Harrison Wells narrowed his eyes. "I know this move well. High-speed hand chop, that's my signature skill!"

Su Quan blatantly threatened, "Still trying to act tough?"

Listen to this! Is this what people say?

I just laid my cards on the table, took off my glasses, and stood up. What was I pretending for?

But you, you made me kneel down, used the Speed Force, and even used my signature move.

How dare you call me pretentious?!

Under the pressure of power, Dr. Harrison Wells fell silent. In the original story, he was able to pretend to be disabled for so many years, which was enough to show that he was a man who could bend and stretch.

Su Quan withdrew his high-speed hand chop and sat back down on the sofa. Dr. Harrison Wells tentatively got up and silently sat down.

"Your Negative Speed Force is quite interesting." Dr. Harrison Wells had just sat down when he heard Su Quan talking about his ability.

The Negative Speed Force is a power that just fell from Dr. Harrison Wells, although he can't use it now because the Flash hasn't been born yet.

However, whether he can use it or not is his business; as long as he has the ability, he will drop it.

The Negative Speed Force is very interesting. It's like a third party besides Barry Allen and the Speed Force, existing in relation to them and capable of absorbing and consuming the Speed Force.

If the Speed Force doesn't exist, or if no one uses it to Speed Force like the Flash, the Negative Speed Force won't be generated.

The Speed Force is limitless. As long as the source does not disappear, speedsters can use it at will, run freely, and amplify their Speed Force through its use.

The Negative Speed Force is finite; it can only be stolen by the Flash when he uses the Speed Force.

Once the Flash stops running, stops using the Speed Force, and loses the Speed Force's function, and the Negative Speed Force is depleted, he will be like Dr. Harrison Wells now, whose true identity is the infamous Reverse-Flash, but he can only live as an ordinary person in frustration!

In terms of its characteristics, the Negative Speed Force may seem inferior to the Speed Force at first glance, and it can also have some negative effects on Negative Speed Force. However, its ability to erode and absorb the Speed Force is quite interesting!

What's even more interesting is that the Negative Speed Force that Su Quan obtained is not an independent force like the previous Speed Force. In other words, Su Quan, who possesses the Negative Speed Force, is a copy of Reverse-Flash!

What does that mean?

This means that, like Reverse-Flash, he can absorb and devour the Speed Force to grow stronger, while Reverse-Flash cannot absorb the Speed Force that devours him.

Because Reverse-Flash is a third party to the Speed Force of the Multiverse and Barry Allen, not to his own Speed Force.

Therefore, Su Quan used the Speed Force, but Reverse-Flash's Negative Speed Force did not gain any energy.

To put it bluntly, Reverse-Flash's Negative Speed Force is tied to Barry Allen and the Speed Force, not to his own Speed Force.

The Negative Speed Force he obtained was the same; it was also bound to Barry Allen and the Speed Force. He could compete with Reverse-Flash for the Speed Force that was bound to him, but Reverse-Flash couldn't take advantage of his Speed Force!

PS: Luckily, a brother reminded me, otherwise it would have really created a bug. Before the Particle Accelerator exploded, Reverse-Flash wasn't in a wheelchair yet. I forgot about this detail before, but it's been fixed now.

Dr. Harrison Wells took a deep breath and calmly asked, "Just tell me, what exactly is your purpose?"

Su Quan thought for a moment and then said bluntly, "My goal is the same as yours: to make sure Barry Allen becomes the Flash."

Dr. Harrison Wells said, "I made Barry Allen the Flash to regain the Speed Force, to return to my time, to go home."

"And you?"

"To see someone!"

Su Quan looked at him and said jokingly, "Someone who, even if you regain your speed, would be so scared that you would run away with your tail between your legs just by seeing him, and who could completely wipe you out with a single finger from him!"

Dr. Harrison Wells scoffed, "There's no such person."

"When the time comes, you will naturally see him." Su Quan didn't explain further. In the comics, Reverse-Flash was indeed killed by Doctor Manhattan.

However, he survived again thanks to the Negative Speed Force.

Reverse-Flash is somewhat similar to Loki from next door; he dies and comes back to life repeatedly, making him quite difficult to kill completely!

The main problem is that this guy can create time remnants. If you kill one, there will always be another version of him from another timeline who will continue to cause trouble.

Dr. Harrison Wells pondered for a moment and said, "So, your purpose in coming here today is to cooperate with me?"

Cooperate?

That's one way to put it.

After all, Dr. Harrison Wells was quite valuable. Without the explosion of the Particle Accelerator he created, Barry Allen wouldn't have become the Flash, nor would so many Metahuman have been created.

Most importantly, it will not cause a flash point.

Without the Flashpoint, how can we lure Doctor Manhattan out?

In order for Flashpoint to proceed smoothly and for the sake of various abilities later on, it's acceptable to elevate his status.

Although he and Black Arrow were both members of the Doomsday Legion in the later stages, Black Arrow could only be a pure tool. However, given his strength and ability to cause trouble, he could temporarily be a collaborator, since the final result would be the same anyway!

"How do you want to collaborate?" Dr. Harrison Wells asked.

Su Quan casually said, "Name your price. I want to invest in STAR Labs. The number of shares doesn't matter, but there has to be an additional clause: after you die, all the shares will belong to me!"

Dr. Harrison Wells frowned and said, "What if you kill me on purpose?"

"I can kill you anytime I want, and I don't need all this trouble to get my hands on the STAR Labs," Su Quan said, curling his lip.

Dr. Harrison Wells suddenly found himself standing up uncontrollably, and then sitting down again.

Stand up, sit down!

A simple action sent a chill down Dr. Harrison Wells. If the other party could control him to stand up and sit down, he could control him to transfer his shares in the laboratory, or even easily make him 'commit suicide'!

"This supplementary agreement is prepared for when you go home. After you leave, the entire lab will belong to me."

Dr. Harrison Wells thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I agree. Anything else?"

"I can help you when you need it, such as when you need to motivate Barry Allen, or—I can lend you the Speed Force temporarily."
