I become light in American comics

"My name is Selkirk and I'm a researcher."

Selkirk said solemnly while being hung up.

"I have devoted my life to proving a simple theory, a theory that you and I are here to breathe. We breathe the air it supplies and taste the creatures it nurtures.

A theory about the speedsters. "

"Did you discover the Speed ​​Force through your own research?" The Flash was somewhat impressed.

"Yes. It's just that I didn't notice it at first. It was when I was studying for a PhD in Anthropology at Oxford University, and I was first confused by the wonderful law you call the 'speed force'.

My original field of study was the local ancient legendary culture. "

Selkirk said.

"This is a very time-consuming and expensive project, and it is almost impossible to see any progress for a long time, let alone create profits. But fortunately, my family was fairly well off at the time, and my ancestors left Enough money for my research.

So after graduation, I spent a lot of money traveling around the world. I didn't know what I was looking for at that time, I just knew it was a journey of discovery.

But there is no doubt that what I gained was significant. All clues point to ancient sages with inhuman speed. I discovered original murals in Australia and altar stone sculptures in the rainforests of Bolivia

In ancient legends around the world that were supposed to be divided in ancient times, there are shadows of incredibly fast people, and all these myths invariably have the mark of lightning. Those seemingly unrelated cultures and people share the same myth of a gift from lightning.

I later wrote articles and published these findings, but was ridiculed as an amateur. In the eyes of so-called wise men and experts, those commonalities are just a coincidence and have no meaning.

I work extra hard for this. I joined the life of the indigenous people, I listened to their stories and learned their customs. I returned to my original nature, and for this reason I never returned to modern society for up to a year.

After years of hard work and trekking, my research led me to an even more incredible place—the Utah Farm. I gained the trust of a Highhut priest and learned about this mysterious place. According to him, the energy here is vastly different from other places.

The power of lightning is not only mysterious, it's real. The paintings and sculptures that I have spent my life trying to prove are, without a doubt, physical connections to some of humanity's oldest cultures.

I found the spot and got too close, fueled by intellectual curiosity.”

"Then you came here, inside the Speed ​​Field." Shen You said calmly, "Did you ask the Flash to come here?"

"Yes, thanks to the teachings of the Pygmy high priests in the Congo and my years of research inside the Speed ​​Force field. I borrowed the ancient temple and Speed ​​Force altar here and used rituals to interfere with the Flash's ability. .

When he introduced the Speed ​​Force energy one time, the excess energy tore a rift in space, and the vortex of time and space caused him to be sucked into the Speed ​​Force space. "

As the basic law of time and space in the multiverse, the Speed ​​Force seems to be more technologically inclined most of the time, but that is mainly because Barry views and explores it from a scientific perspective. But in fact, magic can also use the power of the Speed ​​Force, including members of the lightning family's resident speedsters.

"Did you do it?"

Barry was startled.

"What did you do to me? Why did my speed disappear?"

Selkirk glanced at him and snorted coldly.

"I'd love to take the credit, Flash, but unfortunately it wasn't me," Selkirk said. "There were a lot of mistakes in my plan.

According to the plan, you should have been sucked directly to the altar of my ritual, instead of randomly falling into an unknown location in the Speed ​​Force.

According to the original plan, you should not lose your speed, but I should seize your connection with the Speed ​​Force. This temple is the altar of ritual. But I don’t know why this link also went wrong.”

So the Flash's ability is not something he did, there is another reason behind it.

Naturally, Shen You had already used his Ultra Vision to conduct routine checks on Barry, but found nothing. His body is healthy and there is nothing wrong with him, except that he can't find any Speed ​​Force reaction.

This is not uncommon if the original is used as a reference. Although Barry created the Speed ​​Force, he did lose his speed more than once. It's just that there are too many times and the reasons are all strange. Sometimes the link is interfered with, sometimes there is a problem within the force field, and sometimes it is Barry's own psychological cognitive disorder.

To further confirm the crux, you may need to use laboratory equipment and instruments.

Selkirk was a speed-mechanics madman, and nothing seemed to be gained from him. Shen You turned to Barry: "Let me take you out first, and then go back to the laboratory to find the answer."

"There are still people here, those trapped in the Speed ​​Force, and the people in the camp are all victims. We have to take them out too." Barry said.

It seemed that although those people had been chasing him since he came in, and the two parties were not very happy with each other, Barry did not hold a grudge for this, but was still thinking about how to help them get out of trouble.

Shen You glanced at Selkirk beside him.

"I hope you feel that your current fate is worth it." He said calmly, "The Flash would have helped your people and would have helped you. All you need to do is ask."

Selkirk was speechless.

"Cough cough. Cough cough cough."

Barry suddenly coughed twice, swayed, and managed to stand still by holding on to the wall.

"Are you okay?" Shen You looked at Barry.

"It's okay." He sounded a little weak, but he forced a smile and waved his hand, "I'm probably just a little tired after being trapped for so many days and struggling with the captors.

It should be fine after some rest. "

"Really?" Shen You frowned slightly, expressing doubt.

Because at the moment when Barry coughed, he noticed a slight change in Barry's breath.

It was impossible for ordinary people to notice that only his senses as Ultraman allowed him to detect something strange. Originally, Barry's body was completely just that of an ordinary person, unable to sense a trace of the Speed ​​Force. But at this moment, in Shen You's field of vision, a trace amount of lightning radiated from his body.

But it wasn't the usual golden, vibrant Speed ​​Force lightning.

But some kind of dark, lifeless force.

"You look a little..."

Shen Youyou suddenly paused here.

His pupils shrank, and out of the corner of his eye he vaguely seemed to catch a glimpse of a dark afterimage, trailing dark red and black lightning, fleetingly flashing past the edge of his field of vision.

Shen You suddenly turned back in that direction, and surprisingly saw that there was nothing in the direction behind him, and nothing appeared.

But in contrast, Selkirk, who should have been bound between concrete chains and suspended in mid-air, was no longer where he was.

"What.?"

Turning around again, I was shocked to see Selkirk—or rather, what was supposed to be Selkirk’s mummy, had been hung under the dome of the temple!

The dark mummy seemed to have been burned into dry bones, and most of its skin and flesh had rotted away, as if it had been dug out of the ground after being dead for thousands of years.

"What. What's going on?" Barry was shocked.

"It seems we have a new friend." Shen You stepped back warily, guarding him behind him.

If he saw it right just now, if what just flashed across his field of vision was a speedster.

Then this speedster might be even faster than the Flash.
