Chapter 789 Obsession
Was this young woman from Mercury Labs before? The laboratory Thea has the impression that it is a powerful research and development institution not inferior to Reverse Lightning's cutting-edge technology laboratory. Now this laboratory is indeed in her name, but there are millions of employees under her name all over the world. Meet this woman.
The banshee as the store manager knew that the boss and the boss's boss were secretly observing, so she asked the question again cunningly.
"Guest, you want to attract the attention of others, and you want to pursue an extreme. You need super speed? Is that so?" asked the Banshee clerk.
The woman's voice trembled a little, "That's right, extreme speed, the fastest speed."
Fearing that she would be deceived by the clerk, the woman was very cautious, and said word by word, "I want the fastest speed, don't use the super speed of ordinary mutants to fool me, I am also a scientific researcher, I will judge the details myself."
In fact, she judged a ghost, and she was just using words as a foreshadowing. If the trading house could not meet her requirements, she felt that she could not pay the price.
"This woman is a little cunning." Thea and Siren whispered.
"Do you need me to teach her an unforgettable lesson?" The banshee queen, who was born insulated from sunshine and justice, had already begun to condense the arrow of soul in the palm of her hand.
"Haha, don't worry, just whet her appetite again, fair business, I want to see how determined she is." Thea stopped the siren, and the two continued to watch the play.
"The Flash of Central City, do you know?" The young woman felt that the store manager in front of her was a coquettish bitch, flirting, and she extremely suspected that he was not on the same plane as the earth.
It turned out that she was wrong, and the banshee store manager nodded, "Flash, we know."
The young woman was a little surprised. She thought this store was a place independent of the world, but now it looks very simple.
However, she didn't dwell too much on these issues, but instead asked, "Can you provide that level of speed?"
"Yes, but at an unimaginably high cost."
"I'm willing to pay, as long as I have anything." There was a belief in the young woman's eyes, that is, even if it was only for a second, she would have a good time in front of others.
Thea looked at this woman calmly. The long-term neglect made her vanity reach an unattainable level. No wonder the Siren said that she had the deepest obsession.
After the glory, she is destined to take another path, and she is the person I need to find. Thea raised her hand for a partial time stop, slowing down the young woman's consciousness a thousand times.
"I'll be right back."
After Thea finished speaking, she returned to Central City, and she called out Caitlin.
On Earth 2, Caitlin and Dr. Wells studied the speed potion v9, and it was because of this potion that the speed of Extreme Speed was significantly ahead of Barry.
It was only later that Thea intercepted the world speed and defeated Extreme Speed. She originally made two bottles of speed potions and kept them in Caitlin's hands.
Knowing her intentions, Caitlin urgently made five bottles, and handed over the original two bottles to Thea.
Back in North Carolina, Thea still needs to package the medicine a little bit, test tubes, solutions, which look like technological products, which are not conducive to the mysterious atmosphere of the Room of Requirement.
Remove all the elements related to modernization, take out a section of the heart from the big tree outside, hollow out the inside, and pour the medicine into it. Considering the physical endurance of the young woman, she is not Extreme Speed after all, let alone Barry. An ordinary person, even if Relying on the potion to have super speed power, the body can't bear the long-term consumption, so I made three bottles of the tree heart version of the potion and handed it to the banshee store manager.
With a snap of her fingers, Thea canceled the partial time stop.
The consciousness of the young woman was still at the dialogue stage, and she continued to ask uncertainly, "Can you allow me to have that speed?"
Knowing that the boss's boss attaches great importance to this woman, the banshee store manager restrained her attitude a lot, and replied sternly, "Yes, it is absolutely fine."
"But your body can't handle that speed, and if you use it,
We are afraid of you..."
The young woman interrupted her. "I'm a scientist and I understand the consequences. I just want to know, what's the price to pay for that speed?"
"Your soul, your soul after death will enter my master's kingdom and will serve for a long, long time." The banshee store manager said grimly.
The young woman was dubious, and the part of the scientist didn't believe a word. What kind of soul is lying to ghosts! But if the other party can really come up with the same speed as the Flash, she doesn't think the other party is trying to scare her with words.
Doubt and expectation are what she is feeling at the moment.
After a little hesitation, she thought of the legend that a third-tier Hollywood star suddenly awakened an incredible talent overnight, and her thoughts became firm again.
True or not, this is my choice, come on!
Seeing her making up her mind, the store manager took out three fist-sized tree hearts and put them on the table.
Such a fantasy shape really surprised the young woman a little. Did the Flash also use this thing to obtain superpowers?
"Drink the liquid inside, and you will gain super speed, comparable to the speed of The Flash."
The young woman picked it up and looked at both the front and back. The design is quite humane. There is a gap on the side of the tree center. When you want to drink, you can fall down with your neck up. It shakes, as if there is a sound of water, along the gap. Looking inside, you can vaguely see what seems to be a blue liquid inside.
"The onset time is about three seconds. Is there anything else you need?" In fact, the intravenous injection is in place within one second, and the oral version of Thea is slower to take effect, but the effect is the same.
Putting away three strange tree hearts, the young woman left the trading shop without looking back.
…
That night, at a charity dinner in Central City, a young woman named Elisa Harmon finally took the first step. She transformed into a yellow lightning bolt in full view and stole everyone's wallets.
And using the code name "Ballistic" to commit several crimes in a row, the whole city is hyped, and the Flash has finally turned bad!
After hearing the news, Barry hurriedly chased after him. The pirated version was definitely not as fast as his own son. Harmon was far behind. The woman was furious and drank a bottle of reagent again, and the two sides reached neck-and-neck.
Barry's talk, not only did not dispel her obsession, but made her go to a more radical edge.
Miss Ballistic chose to drink the third bottle of reagent. At the critical moment, Thea still couldn't bear to watch her turn into fly ash, and flicked her fingers, knocking away the magical bottle in her hand.
Miss Ballistic obviously knew her, her eyes glared and she wanted to curse.
"Let's stop here!" Thea pointed in the air, her body burden had reached the ballistic trajectory on the verge of collapse, and she was stunned by her without any power to fight back.
"Barry, the way this guy gains speed seems to be magic, let me track it down."
Barry's own affairs are a mess, and he has to fight Savitar and rescue his brother-in-law. He really doesn't care about this speedster who appeared out of nowhere.
But just seeing Thea, he remembered the last time he dealt with Extreme Speed. "Uh, can the method of collecting speed last time still work?"
Thea communicated with the will of the world honestly, and shook her head, "Sorry, the will of the world ignored my request. This is different from Earth 2 last time. Our world is not in crisis, and it will not participate in the battle. Yes, the last method is unfortunately not applicable."
Barry was very helpless, asked about Batman, learned that he had no clue, sighed, and waved goodbye to her.
