27. Unexpected

High Energy Physics.

A field of study that is almost magical in the eyes of ordinary people.

Without a certain knowledge reserve, ordinary people can't understand those complicated and obscure knowledge at all.

In fact, based on Merlin's own perception, he felt that it was much easier for an ordinary person to learn magic from scratch than for them to learn high-energy physics.

At present, human civilization is only at the stage of conjecture regarding these knowledge.

The collision of invisible particles releases uncontrollable energy, just like a bomb that is released. At the moment of explosion, it exerts terrifying destructive force on every air in the closed place.

In the runaway Big Bang of the Interstellar Laboratory's particle accelerator, the energy of those released particles paints the sky in brilliant lights.

Only a very few people can capture the flashing halo that dances like an aurora.

But Maharaja can feel it.

The concepts of time and space become distorted at this moment.

He was holding Icarus in his arms, and under the surprised gaze of the glasses girl, Merlin raised his head, and during that pause, he looked at the blue-purple streamer that filled the air.

Like jumping lightning.

Those tumbling energies easily destroyed the material structure of the interstellar laboratory hall, and in an explosive gesture, the heavy energy smashed into the sky, and even the entire city.

Merlin could still feel a sharp aura coming from behind him in the brilliant arc of light outlined by the jumping particles around him.

One light.

Yellow, maybe yellow light.

It took off from the distorted hall in a way that completely violated the rules of physics, pulled out several arcs of light in the suspended time and space, and connected them into jumping yellow lightning bolts in Maharaja's vision.

Like a deadly assassin, he rushed towards Merlin at the speed of light.

There was a shining figure in that light.

It was blurry, and between the high-speed shocks, he couldn't see his face clearly at all, only some details of the fleeting combat uniform could be seen.

His arms stretched forward, and his palms were like light knives vibrating at high speed, as if they were about to pierce the Maharaja's body in the next moment.

A perfect sneak attack and assassination.

Merlin hadn't noticed it before.

However, when the light burst out, he had already been warned, and he had already made defenses.

"kuang"

In the movement of Merlin's finger pressing down, the distorted gravitational force here is extremely compressed in a way that everything gathers and disperses, like an exploding gravity bomb, spreading around Merlin's feet in the form of a gravitational field.

When the shining light jumped into this area, under the full weight of gravity, his speed slowed down a bit strangely.

It's gravity versus speed.

"puff"

A bloody arm shot up into the sky.

In complete slow motion, Lord Raven's eyes lit up with an orange light.

In front of his eyes, the attacker was gnawed off his left arm by the astral tiger evolved from the ancient body magic that had been promoted to the second stage, and he himself half-kneeled at Merlin's feet in embarrassment.

The sharp, high-speed vibrating fingers were only a few inches away from piercing the Maharaja's heart.

But he doesn't have that chance anymore.

He probably underestimated the difficulty of assassinating a prepared heavenly father.

"Let me guess"

In the slowed time around, Merlin's five fingers were covered with orange light, he raised his hand, and pressed it on the head of the struggling figure.

He said:

"You killed Nora? You killed that kind woman who helped me, didn't you?"

"You are still hiding here"

"puff"

While the blood was splashing everywhere, a blood-stained head was picked off by the Maharaja from the trembling body.

Merlin had no interest in talking to this murderer at all.

But at the moment when the head was taken off, Maharaja found strangely that the head in his hand was dissipating like burning ashes.

And the headless body, as well as the broken arm flying in the air, are also fading in a trembling way.

Like soap bubbles in the sun.

"Huh? Some kind of clone?"

Merlin looked at the non-existent dust that dissipated on his fingertips, and frowned.

This kind of avatar was something he had never seen before. It had a complete biological aura, just like a real person, and it also had a breakthrough speed beyond the speed of light, which looked like a real streamer in the retina.

If it wasn't for the reminder from the Ava-like voice just now, it would be difficult for Merlin to react to this sudden, super-light-speed assassination.

Of course, even if the assassination is successful, it is useless.

What came here was just an astral projection.

However, Icarus is likely to be seriously injured. The speed of movement beyond the speed of light can completely dismantle the glasses girl's body before she can fight back.

"boom"

The second after Merlin killed the assailant, the strange time-stop suddenly dissipated around his body.

The flow of time becomes normal at this moment.

Because of the explosion of the high-energy particle accelerator, those brilliant blue-purple halos vented destructive energy on this block in less than a second.

The main structure of the interstellar laboratory completely collapsed in the explosion, but there were no casualties.

When the explosion happened, the magic of Merlin's ancient body was just shrouded in the hall below, and the magical barrier of the heavenly father blocked most of the destructive energy.

Only a small part of the aftermath hit the bewildered bystanders.

Absolutely not fatal.

"What happened?"

The glasses girl in Merlin's arms finally came to her senses. She grabbed Merlin's arm and said to the majesty:

"There was a time distortion just now, I only saw you cut off a yellow lightning bolt, what's going on?"

"nothing."

Merlin looked around, he wasn't sure if the assassin was still there.

He said to Icarus:

"Let's talk about it later, call the nearby omnics to help, this place is going to collapse."

After speaking, Lord Raven controlled the gravity and maintained the crumbling broken hall. He raised his head again and looked at the skyline of Central City.

The energy from the particle accelerator explosion rushed into the sky like a beam of light, and the blue-purple energy swayed in the sky, just like Thor's gesture when he waved Mjolnir.

For a moment, dozens of dazzling lightning bolts descended from the sky, blasting around the city.

"This is the energy body formed by dark matter."

The glasses girl called the omnic nearby, she followed Merlin's gaze to the sky, and said solemnly:

"The explosion of the particle accelerator tore a rift in the real world, and dark matter spewed out in that short moment. If you weren't just here, it would be really fatal."

Merlin didn't answer.

He was thinking about one thing right now.

The warning voice just now should be Ava who is lost in the quantum world. According to Dr. Pim, Ava is trapped in another world.

But just now, she obviously had some kind of communication with Merlin.

How did those physicists describe this weird communication?

Quantum entanglement?

Or some other weird noun.

"what's on your mind?"

Icarus has been paying attention to the changes in Merlin's expression since just now.

In that instant of time distortion just now, something must have happened that Icarus didn't know.

The glasses girl noticed the joy flashing in Merlin's eyes, and she asked:

"Is there something good?"

"It's not certain yet."

Merlin patted the glasses girl's hair, and said:

"But I think that the explosion that tore apart the real world just now may not be a bad thing."

"Merlin!"

The glasses girl suddenly grabbed Merlin's wrist, she pointed to the lightning that fell from the sky in front of her, and she said to Merlin:

"Frank's life monitor is down! It's in that direction"

"Silly Dog is with Barry."

—

On the other side, in the evidence laboratory of the Central City Police Department, Evidence Collection Officer Barry Allen was busy.

He wanted to prepare all the physical evidence of a robbery and wounding case that happened a few days ago before his adoptive father Joe went to court tomorrow.

Barry has done it with ease.

After graduating from university, he did not continue his studies, but entered the police station and started a job similar to that of a forensic doctor. This kid was originally very talented in physics and could become a physicist.

But he didn't take the easy road.

Joe and Iris are very supportive, and the two people closest to him know about Barry's inner struggle.

His father, Henry, was wrongly imprisoned, which made Barry full of anger at all the injustices in the world, and he didn't want his childhood experience to be copied to other innocent people.

He used his own hands to free the wronged.

Doing my best to maintain the order of this world, well, this is probably influenced by Uncle Merlin.

After all, since he was a child, Barry regarded Uncle Merlin, who was an agent, as his number two idol.

to ask who he likes the most

Does that need to be said?

It must be the Dark Knight of Gotham, fighting against the evil Batman with a mortal body!

"I said, isn't your laboratory too broken?"

While Barry was working hard, lying on the ground, Frank, the silly dog ​​who had just had his wound bandaged, complained loudly:

"As Merlin's nephew, do those potbellied officers give you such a dilapidated laboratory?"

The silly dog ​​said indignantly:

"Look, it's raining!"

"ah?"

Barry turned his head and looked at the water stains on the ground in front of Shagou. He raised his head and looked at the top of his head.

"It's not leaking, Frank."

Barry stood up, patted Frank's head gently, and said:

"It's because the skylight wasn't closed properly, but why did it suddenly rain?"

While speaking, he grasped the thin chain that closed the skylight, and at the same moment, a bright light shone at the end of his field of vision.

Barry and Frank looked at the direction of the beam of light at the same time.

"It's the interstellar laboratory!"

Barry pulled down the sunroof and said in surprise:

"What's with that light? The light that explodes when the particle accelerator starts up?"

"Who knows!"

Frank groaned and said:

"The accelerator made by you humans is too primitive. I'm not even interested in seeing it. Speaking of which, how many times have you done it with Iris just now, Little Barry? She has such a good figure, she must be great, right?"

There was a trace of a humanized expression on Shagou's face.

While sticking out its tongue, it asked in a strange tone:

"Can you describe the details? Well, I have a friend who wants to hear"

"Hey! What's the matter, you dog?"

After all, Barry was a young man, and he was a little speechless when asked by the experienced silly dog.

While avoiding the silly dog's question, he turned around and closed the skylight.

Of course, no matter how silly the dog asks, the kind and bottom-line Xiaoba will never say those private things.

"crash"

The blue-purple energy gathers in the sky, and the beating dark matter gathers into a natural imagination that is more in line with the laws of this world to release its huge energy.

thunder and lightning.

A dazzling lightning bolt fell from the sky and was hitting the ceiling of Barry's laboratory.

The dazzling current flowed down the thin chain, hitting Barry Allen in the blink of an eye, and the stream of light followed the water stains under his feet, jumping and hitting the squinting silly dog.

At the moment of being broken down by the current.

The silly dog ​​smelled the smell of roasted flesh, and that terrible smell of roasted meat came from his and Barry's black smoky bodies.

But I don't know if it's an illusion.

Just before he fell unconscious, Silly Dog saw the red, tiny electric arcs beating from Barry's fingertips.

This dilapidated laboratory seemed to have fallen into a strange state of stopping for a moment.

Splashes of liquid twisted into odd shapes in the air.

The dropped reagent bottle fell at an extremely slow speed.

The changing expressions on Barry's face include fear, reluctance, nostalgia, and pain.

The world has never been so clear.

The silly dog ​​also saw broken glass flying in all directions

Everything is in slow motion.

The spectacled girl Icarus in a long black and white dress is flying in through the broken window, and the blue plasma flames are ejected from the propellers at her feet.

The rays of light were distorted into scattered streamers in the weird time-stop.

"I'm dying"

A thought came to Shagou's mind.

"I never thought that Master Frank's heroic and wonderful life would end in this way."

"The days with everyone are really happy, I don't even want to go back to my home planet."

"Humans always say that before death, the phantom of a lifetime will be passed by in front of your eyes, but I don't see those memories, maybe because I'm just a dog."

"Anyway, googoo dog food I hid under Peter's bed"

"It's all yours"
