Chapter 285 Independence Day and Memory

Chapter 285 Independence Day and Memory

"I will." Batman replied to Hal indifferently first, then looked at Barry on the side and asked, "Is that feeling of being chased always there?"

"Not really." Barry shook his head. "Only when I run and reach a certain speed will I have this feeling. I once wrestled with that feeling. I accelerated to my usual limit, but I still couldn't shake it off."

"What about Wally?" Batman continued to ask. "Does he have this feeling?"

"I mentioned it to him, but he doesn't have this feeling." Barry sighed. "He even thought it was because he was chasing me too closely, making me feel pressure. Wally was happy for days because of this."

"Have you asked Wally to follow behind you? Let him see what exactly is sticking to your back." Wonder Woman asked.

"Uh." Barry scratched his head. "Wally is indeed very talented, but he is still too young."

Hal laughed and said, "Let me translate, Wally can't even catch up with our Flash. Relax, Barry, Wally is not here. You can just say it directly."

Barry didn't speak, but from his expression, it was not difficult to see that that was what he meant.

Batman rested his hand on his chin, not knowing what he was thinking. Watchtower Hall was silent, and everyone was waiting for the Brain of the Justice League to give an answer.

"I suspect there is a problem with the Speed Force." Batman gave his answer.

"Are you saying something unclean has entered the Speed Force?" Barry frowned. "If that's the case, then the trouble will be much more serious than I thought."

"And it's obvious that no matter what that thing is, its goal is only you." Batman turned off the Holographic Projection. "He's coming for you, Barry."

Hal pillowed his hands behind his head and said casually, "It seems someone is in big trouble. Do you need my help?"

Facing his friend's ridicule, Barry just replied faintly, "Take care of your own relationship problems first."

"Hey!"

"Let's put this business aside for now." Batman interrupted the two's argument. "We still know too little information now, we can only take it one step at a time. Superman."

"I'm listening." Superman responded.

Batman instructed, "Pay more attention to Flash's state. In the entire Justice League, only you can arrive in time when he is in danger."

"I will." Superman nodded to indicate that he knew.

"Sounds like a child who has been fitted with a locator." Hal, the friend, came to ridicule at the first moment. "It seems you also need to participate in Independence Day."

Facing Hal's ridicule, Barry did not immediately retort because he heard a noun he had never heard before. "What is Independence Day?" Barry asked curiously. "Is it a special festival I don't know about? Did which planet become independent?"

After Barry finished speaking, he looked at Martian Manhunter, who had been silent all along, expecting to get an answer from him. After all, a Martian is also an alien, and news must be better informed than him, a human, completely ignoring Green Lantern sitting next to him.

"If you hadn't been distracted, you would also know about this special festival." Batman cast a disapproving look again. Flash immediately wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.

"Sorry."

"Independence Day is a festival set up for the sidekicks around us." Aquaman came out to smooth things over. "You can also feel it, right Barry? Recently, the little guys around you have been a little restless."

"Really?" Barry scratched his head. He has been driven crazy by the thing chasing him recently, and he hasn't even paid much attention to Wally's emotion.

"Sigh~" Aquaman couldn't help but hold his brow, suddenly feeling sad for Wally having such an elder. Even he could feel the thoughts of his younger generation.

"In short, Independence Day is a day for sidekick heroes to act independently. On this day, we cannot point fingers at their actions, and they are completely in charge of themselves. Of course, we still have to clean up their mess, but we have to clean it up carefully, so as not to let them find out."

After listening to Aquaman's explanation, Flash immediately understood. Isn't it just changing from an overt nanny to a covert nanny? Flash is most familiar with this.

"That's pretty much what it means." Batman nodded. "But currently this is just a suggestion. There is still an uncertain factor on Flash's side, so I suggest that Independence Day be put on hold temporarily. We cannot let them act without authorization in this situation, it's too dangerous."

"Seconded." "Agreed."

Superman was the first to agree, and Wonder Woman followed closely behind. The others also agreed with Batman's suggestion. Compared with the upcoming crisis, the children's complaints are undoubtedly much lighter, and besides, this is also for their own good.

The meeting came to an end, and Flash's thoughts drifted again. He thought of the thing chasing him again. What exactly is that thing?

"Huff!"

Early morning, Yang Le was awakened by a nightmare again. Familiar swear words blurted out again, making him angry enough to want to throw the alarm clock on the bedside to the ground. Anyway, it's useless, after all, he has always been awakened by nightmares, even more punctual than an alarm clock.

But the pressure of life still made him put down the alarm clock in his hand. Even if he didn't have to take it to the second-hand market to buy it, it would be good. It would be a waste to just smash it like this.

Silently putting down the alarm clock, Yang Le walked out of the bedroom in his pajamas. He didn't have a shift today, so he didn't have to rush like yesterday morning.

Taking out the cold bread slices and putting them in the toaster, Yang Le turned around and realized that his jam was all gone. It seems he can only eat bread slices dry today.

Brewing a cup of instant coffee, Yang Le, pretending to be an upper-class person, turned on his big-headed television. This was scavenged from the garbage station. Many of the furniture in his home were scavenged, and after his repairs, they could barely be used.

Although Yang Le didn't know why he could repair these things, with this skill, his little life was not bad. Relying on helping neighbors repair things and the shop's salary, he could chat with the psychologist for an hour.

However, with more electrical appliances at home, electricity consumption also increased. Recently, Yang Le was thinking about getting some electricity from somewhere else to use. Life, you should save as much as you can.

Aimlessly glancing at the television acting as background noise, the thin wall made him dare not turn on the sound at all. Otherwise, people on the same floor would come to find trouble with him, after all, it was still too early.

Originally just an aimless glance, but it fixed Yang Le's eyes. The emergency news broadcast on television reported that a supervillain-led crime had broken out in Central City. Flash and Kid Flash had arrived at the scene and were working on handling it, but it seemed they had encountered some trouble.

Without hesitation, Yang Le ignored the bread slices popping out of the toaster, hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out of the home door. As for why, he didn't know either, just...

He saw something. Although it was less than a frame, he was absolutely not mistaken. Yang Le saw a blue-black shadow. That shadow made his brain faintly ache.

"Maybe my memory can be restored." Yang Le muttered to himself, using a paperclip he carried with him to pick Old Huang's bicycle lock, riding the bicycle and pedaling hard towards the scene of the incident.

This episode is not over yet. I see some people don't seem to like Mutants. Coincidentally, some people want to see DC, so I am writing to change the taste. If there are no accidents, the main story and side stories will be updated alternately, unless I really want to write about a certain universe, in which case a phenomenon of a universe being updated continuously may occur, just like the DC I just wrote. By the way, the side stories and main stories basically do not affect each other. The side stories may mention the main story, but the main story will not mention the side stories. Thank you everyone for liking it.
