Chapter 222
Before Barry Allen could even be surprised, the other Trajectory accelerated, not only surpassing him but also catching up with Reverse-Flash at double speed.
Now, Reverse-Flash was being attacked from both sides.
Climbing buildings and leaping over cars to avoid people.
The bustling, noisy city is like flat ground to them, completely empty!
This race of speedsters is not just about speed, but also about reaction time, emergency response experience, and mastery of skills.
For example, passing through walls!
Barry Allen hasn't mastered this technique yet, so when Reverse-Flash passed right through the wall, he could only obediently run up and then back down.
Oh, the Golden Glider can also pass through walls.
The Trajectory was just like Barry Allen's, running up and down obediently. Although they were both running, she was faster than Barry Allen!
As for whether she can walk through walls?
Barry Allen thought she would, but she didn't wear it, deliberately running over herself!
Barry Allen felt like he was going to collapse. He used to think he was the fastest runner in the world, but now—fastest or not, it was all meaningless.
As they ran, just as the Golden Glider and Trajectory were trying to overtake Reverse-Flash suddenly slowed down without warning, and then, the instant the two female speedsters charged out, he turned and pounced on Barry Allen.
On the stadium lawn, Barry Allen rolled around a few times in a disheveled manner before getting up and looking at Reverse-Flash, who was already standing still.
With two swishes, the Golden Glider and the Trajectory stopped not far from the two. Su Quan had told them about the feud between Barry Allen and Reverse-Flash. The race of the speedsters was over, and now it was their turn.
Reverse-Flash and Barry Allen knew this too. Confirming that they wouldn't interfere, the two looked at each other and ran, quickly rushing towards each other.
Two Flash bolts, one gold and one red, crisscrossed each other, locked in a fierce battle, each containing the other.
The average person can only see two bolts of Flash colliding with each other; they can't see Barry Allen and Reverse-Flash exchanging blows.
The Golden Glider and the bombardment were clearly visible; Barry Allen was furiously beaten by Reverse-Flash and had no chance to fight back.
It's not that his fighting ability is bad; Reverse-Flash doesn't seem to be much better either. It's just that he's not fast enough!
In the world of martial arts, speed is the only way to break through!
Barry Allen could see Reverse-Flash's movements clearly, but Reverse-Flash was faster than him. So what if he could see them clearly? You know I'm going to hit you, but I'm faster than you, so you just can't dodge!
Truly, we were beaten right before our eyes!
"That's terrible. From the start until now, I've been getting beaten the whole time," the Golden Glider sighed.
"The Flash is much slower than I thought," Trajectory remarked.
"It's not that he's slow, it's that you're faster than him, or rather, it's that my Speed Force stronger and faster than theirs!"
Su Quan's voice suddenly rang out between the two of them. They were stunned for a moment and glanced at the empty space between them.
Okay, it wasn't that there was no one there, but that Su Quan was too fast, so fast that even they couldn't see him.
"When did you arrive?" the Golden Glider asked curiously.
Su Quan said with a smile, "I came with you."
The Golden Glider out a sound, about to tell Su Quan the results of the race, when he suddenly realized something and tentatively asked, "When you say 'came with us,' do you mean to this stadium, or at the very beginning?"
"At the very beginning, before your competition," Su Quan replied casually.
The Golden Glider and the Trajectory exchanged a glance, and the joy and pride they had felt at outrunning the Flash and tying the Reverse-Flash vanished instantly.
The four of us gave it our all, competing with such exhilaration and complete focus, and then you told us that the competition wasn't between four people, but between five. You were there the whole time, but because you were so fast, far faster than everyone else, no one could see you at all.
That's so unfair!
What kind of Christmas present is this?
Terrible! Absolutely must give a terrible review!
"Reverse-Flash won't actually kill Barry. Once things have gotten exciting enough, you guys can step in and save Barry. Anyway, he doesn't know that Reverse-Flash won't kill him, so you can just do him a favor by saving his life."
"Can we make contact with you?" the Golden Glider asked.
Aside from my identity, it's not the right time yet.
How can Barry grow faster now that his identity has been exposed? If something happens, the Outsiders team can refuse or lie and say they're busy with other things, but I can't do that!
Putting aside his occasional idiotic views and illogical statements, Barry is indeed a pretty good friend, and besides, Cisco and Caitlin are also on the team, so it's not really appropriate to refuse him outright.
This is not a difficult situation or a compromise. In this life, whether you are a good person or a bad person, who doesn't have a few close friends?
So, to avoid affecting our friendship, Barry, you'd better take it on yourself. Once you cause the flashpoint, I'll teach you how to avoid getting beaten up so many times!
"Bang!"
Barry Allen crashed heavily to the ground. Just as Reverse-Flash was about to move forward, the Golden Glider and Trajectory blocked their path.
"Are you going to interfere?" Reverse-Flash stopped and asked in a deep voice.
Trajectory said with a smile, "He can't die."
"Why?"
"Because my master forbids it!"
Reverse-Flash threatened, "He's not here, and you can't stop me!"
The results of the race just now show that Reverse-Flash's speed is about the same as theirs, and if he really wanted to kill Barry Allen, he might have had a chance.
Trajectory's expression was somewhat strange. "How do you know he's not here?"
"Um?"
Reverse-Flash was taken aback at first, and subconsciously looked around. Then, as if remembering something, his expression immediately turned ugly.
"He's here? When?"
"At the very beginning, before our competition."
Reverse-Flash:...
Barry Allen:...
So, he's been here the whole time?!
Reverse-Flash was instantly speechless; this was too much of a bully.
"Who are you?!" Barry Allen, having gotten a chance to catch his breath, hurriedly asked about Reverse-Flash's identity.
"You know, Barry, we've faced off like this more than once, but I've always been one step ahead!"
"You were destined to lose to me, the Flash! Just as your mother was destined to die that night!"
Reverse-Flash gave Barry Allen a deep look, then turned and vanished in a flash.
Barry Allen was momentarily dazed, then looked at the Golden Glider and the Trajectory: "And who are you?"
"Us? We're just Outsiders!"
With two quick whooshes, they vanished. Barry Allen stared blankly at the empty stadium before dragging his disheveled body back to STAR Labs.
STAR Labs.
Dr. Harrison Wells, Cisco, Caitlin, Su Quan, Joe West all sat in a semi-circle listening to Barry Allen recount his previous experiences.
"He seemed to know me, like we'd done the same thing before!" Barry recounted Reverse-Flash.
"He's trying to provoke you, Barry," Joe West analyzed.
"I was almost there when he dodged away. It seems like he's playing me on purpose!" Barry said angrily.
Dr. Harrison Wells said, "We'll help you catch up with him."
"No, you don't understand. His speed far surpasses mine, and even those two new speedsters are much faster than me!"
Barry was agitated, or rather, frustrated. "I'm not the fastest man in the world right now, he is, they are!"
"I can't even catch up with him, how can I possibly catch him?"
Dr. Harrison Wells wiped his glasses and said with a smile, "The beauty of molecular force fields is that they are unaffected by velocity. Our trap is almost complete; now all we need is Detective West to get his hands on the decoy!"
"I'll take care of it right away." Joe West turned and left.
Before racing against the Flash Reverse-Flash the Flash at Mercury Labs, killed several security guards, and tried to steal the Superluminal Particle Device being developed at Mercury Labs. This device was the bait that Dr. Harrison Wells mentioned.
Their plan was to obtain the Superluminal Particle Device, place it in the STAR Labs, set up a trap, and then wait for Reverse-Flash to take the bait!
The plan was excellent. If this wasn't a trick orchestrated by Dr. Harrison Wells, Reverse-Flash, they might actually have caught the Speedster.
Speaking of this incident, he not only directed and acted in it himself, but also played two roles, playing both Dr. Harrison Wells and Reverse-Flash, staging a dramatic scene where he was so ruthless that he even hit himself!
"I'll go with you." Barry Allen wanted to leave with Joe West.
"Barry, why don't you stay here?" Joe West was worried about Barry Allen's condition.
"No, Joe, today is not the time for me to stay."
Barry was determined. The murderer of his mother had appeared, and two new speedsters even faster than him had emerged. Devastated, he felt he had to do something.
"Ding-dong!"
Su Quan's phone rang. Queen Bee sent a message saying that the Secret House Villa had been broken into and someone had stolen about $200,000 from the room containing cash.
