"Are you really not going to talk?" Miao Mu asked, squatting on the ground.
"You've already asked seventy times. Why not just pour gasoline on me and set me on fire?" Barry, having been interrogated all night, no longer had the strength to keep wasting time with Miao Mu.
The sudden departure of the Speed Force had left him deeply uncomfortable in this world. He even felt like this world was rejecting him, while memories kept surfacing in his mind again and again.
Especially after he absorbed the memories of this era's Barry Allen, he felt even worse. It was like a stored set of memories had been diverted to him, and the limited transfer speed was forcing his mind into overload.
Seeing Barry's state, Miao Mu knew he would not get anything else out of him, so he simply untied the ropes.
"Fine. At least I believe what you said. But I want to know, how can you return to the world ten years from now?"
"The Speed Force... it's a special ability. It gives me super speed, enough to run back through time."
Barry sat in the chair and spoke wearily. The actions of this era's Barry Allen kept surfacing in his mind, making him feel slightly schizophrenic.

That gave this era's Barry Allen super speed and super recovery. With the Speed Force supporting him, Barry could divert a little of it and would not be so weak.
"Then where do we find the Speed Force?" Miao Mu asked curiously. The Speed Force needed lightning, and Gotham in winter did not seem like a good place
