Chapter 299 Denounce The Flash, Abnormal Bank Robbery

From the perspective of normal people, it is difficult to understand Harley's behavior.

But Roy was not surprised at all.

Although Halle liked those two rings very much in the jewelry store, it doesn't mean that Halle will continue to like them a few minutes later.

Women are fickle!
Especially a crazy woman like Harley!

After the female clerk left with the ring, the gift box, and other items, Harry took a sip of the coffee in front of him, and said to Roy:

"Do you also think that the one I left behind is the prettiest one?"

"Yes!"

Roy replied seriously.

Although from his point of view, the three rings he bought just now looked similar, but he would not be so stupid as to analyze in detail the advantages of each of the three rings with Harry.

Since Halle thinks the ring she left is the best, then it is the best!

"I felt the same way, that's why I kept this."

Harry said with a satisfied face.

Roy didn't continue to discuss this topic with Harry, and looked around at the shops and pedestrians.

From an urban perspective, Central City is no "bigger" than Gotham.

In terms of area, history, and development potential, Central City is slightly inferior to Gotham.

Among other things, compared with the central city located in the middle and west of the beautiful country, Gotham, which is located on the east coast of the beautiful country, is much better than the central city in terms of geographical location.

In the beautiful country, the east coast and west coast are the key areas that support the entire country.

As for other regions, it can only be icing on the cake at best.

Although the city's scale and development potential are not as good as Gotham's, the security environment in Central City is what ordinary citizens of Gotham dream of.

Although there are gangsters and underground forces in the central city, under the attack of the Flash and the central city police, the life of these gangsters and underground forces is not so easy.

Even an organization like the Rogue Gang, which is full of villains, sometimes has to keep its head down.

no way!
There is the Flash who is a speedster guarding the central city, and he can't bow his head.

Just when Roy thought that today he would not have a chance to see the heroic appearance of the criminals in Central City, there was a huge explosion in front of a bank at the end of the street.

Boom boom boom!
The sound of continuous explosions suddenly resounded through several blocks, attracting the attention of pedestrians around.

Among them was the gaze of Roy and Harry.

After hearing the explosion, the surrounding pedestrians and citizens did not stay away from the street or look for bunkers for the first time, but took out their mobile phones and started shooting.

This……

If it is in Gotham, let alone the sound of explosions, as long as there is a gunshot, the surrounding pedestrians will stay away from the crime scene as soon as possible as well as they are well-trained.

But here, instead of planning to evacuate, the surrounding pedestrians started to take out their mobile phones to take pictures.

what is this?
A special locale in Central City?
Even Roy, who was used to seeing big scenes, showed a surprised expression after seeing this scene.

how to say?

These performances of the pedestrians around are not pretty at all.

"Let's go and see too!"

After seeing the pedestrians around take out their mobile phones to take pictures, Harry immediately stood up, and the expression on his face became excited.

"Ok!"

Roy nodded, got up and walked towards the bank at the end of the street.

The moment he heard the explosion, he already had a general perception of the situation at the bank with his knowledge and arrogance.

Nothing special, just a very common bank robbery.

If anything, the bank robbers used grenades to blow up several vehicles that were parked and just passed the bank gate, blocking the road.

Although this can't stop the Flash from coming, it can create chaos and block roads to a certain extent, so that the police in Central City can't come so quickly.

As for detours, it's not impossible, it just takes more time.

And for the robbers who are robbing banks, time is money.

This group of robbers is interesting!

Roy sighed in his heart.

On the surface, the methods of this group of robbers are rough.

but it is not the truth.

The band of robbers could indeed create chaos and block traffic in other ways, but it was undoubtedly more complicated to operate.

Or rather, a waste of time.

It may seem reckless to directly blow up vehicles on the street, but it is the most efficient way.

It only takes a few grenades and a few seconds to easily achieve strategic goals.

The approach is a bit rough, but it doesn't affect the final result.

Just when Roy lamented that the group of robbers did everything in detail, and that they were indeed a professional team who dared to commit crimes in the commercial district, explosions were also heard from other nearby blocks.

Not just a bunch of people?
Although I haven't seen what happened to the explosions in other blocks, judging from the current situation, the situation in other blocks should be the same as here.

interesting!
Roy did not expect that on the first day he came to Central City, he would meet several gangs of robbers who robbed banks at the same time.

Although in the beautiful country, robbing a bank is not uncommon.

But it is not very common for several gangs to rob different banks at the same time.

It can even be said that it is very rare.

There are indeed coincidences in the world, but the current situation, no matter how you look at it, is not a coincidence.

"It seems that our luck is good, and we can see the big scene as soon as we arrive."

Halle laughed after hearing the explosions from other blocks.

"Yes."

"If there are no accidents, we should be able to meet the superhero Flash, who is well-known in Central City, soon."

Roy quickly replied.

He was still thinking about how to contact the Flash.

It now appears that he doesn't have to do anything to meet The Flash, Barry Allen.

"Are you going to fight him?"

Harry looked at Roy expectantly.

"probably not."

Roy replied.

While he's interested in The Flash and the Speed ​​Force, he doesn't really want to fight The Flash.

In other words, he didn't plan to fight the Flash until he figured out what speed the Flash had now.

After a certain speed is fast, it will become very tricky.

Especially the Speedies who have been endowed with super speed by the Speed ​​Force.

Although Superman Clark also has a super speed far exceeding ordinary people, but his current super speed is about the same as Roy, so it is not troublesome to deal with.

But the Flash and Reverse Flash are different.

In the DC universe, people who have super speed through the speed force are called speedsters.

As for others, such as Superman Clark and Wonder Woman Diana, they are not speedsters.

"You think you can consider fighting him!"

Harry continued.

"why?"

Roy asked back.

"Why else, it's fun!"

"Don't you think it's interesting to fight someone like The Flash?"

"If I had superpowers like yours, I would definitely fight him."

"Let's not talk about winning or losing, it will be fun to fight."

Harry explained with a serious face.

For Harley, who is afraid of chaos in the world, there is not much reason to fight the Flash.

Just having fun is enough.

"Let's talk later."

Roy decisively ended the topic, and patiently waited for The Flash to appear.

Not only him, but the passers-by who were taking pictures with their mobile phones are also waiting for the appearance of The Flash.

Although they couldn't see the Flash's movements clearly, they could see the flashing red figure and yellow lightning as the Flash ran at a high speed.

For ordinary passers-by, being able to photograph this is completely enough.

It would be great if you can take a photo with Flash or get Flash's autograph.

I don't know which link went wrong. The Flash, who has always been known for being "fast", did not arrive at the scene of the crime "for a long time".

More than a minute after the first explosion sounded, the robbers who robbed the bank at the end of the street began to retreat, but the Flash still did not appear.

what happened?

Just not in Central City?

Roy frowned slightly after seeing the bank robbers boarding the vehicle with large bags and small bags, ready to flee the scene of the crime.

With the speed of the Flash, it only takes a few seconds, let alone more than a minute, to arrive at the scene of the crime from the other side of the city.

But now that the bank robbers are retreating, he still doesn't show up.

Something is wrong!
very wrong!

Not only did Roy feel something was wrong, but passers-by around him also showed puzzled expressions.

Although he didn't know what happened, Roy didn't waste too many brain cells thinking about why The Flash didn't appear, but thought about another question.

Does that mean that he needs to take action to stop these robbers?

Judging from the equipment and operational quality, this group of robbers is obviously professional.

But for him, it was a waste of energy to stop the gang of robbers.

Whether it is to use the power of the mind, or to prevent them from leaving with unreasonable domineering power, it is a very simple matter.

Because the other side of the street was blocked by explosive vehicles, the robbers' vehicles could only drive away from Roy's side.

Seeing the robber's vehicle getting closer and closer, Roy quickly made a decision.

Although he didn't know why the Flash didn't come over.

But since I ran into it, and I happen to have nothing else to do right now, then I should take a little action to fight against the evil.

Just do it, Roy immediately mobilized the power of the stars in his body.

He did not summon the fire of the stars to directly burn the robbers and vehicles to ashes, nor did he block the road to prevent the vehicles from leaving, but transformed part of the power of the stars into natural energy.

Then, using these transformed natural energies, lightning was summoned out of thin air.

Rumble!
Suddenly there was a dull thunder in the endless clear sky.

Before the surrounding onlookers could react, a bucket-thick silver lightning fell from the sky, instantly hitting the speeding robber's vehicle.

boom!
The sudden silver-white lightning hit the front of the vehicle like a laser, easily penetrated the hood, and shattered the crazily running engine.

The robbers in the car never thought that they were not stopped by the Flash on the way to escape, but by an inexplicable lightning.

However, at this time, they didn't have the extra time and mood to think about what was going on.

The engine was destroyed by lightning, and the speeding vehicle lost control in an instant.

Just when the out-of-control vehicle was about to crash into the crowd on the side of the road, a tornado with a diameter of four to five meters rose from the ground, completely blowing the entire vehicle into the air.

Spin, fly, roll...

The robbers in the vehicle immediately experienced the feeling of a roller coaster.

Bang!
Vehicles lifted by the tornado rolled several times in the air before hitting the street heavily. The travel bags that were thrown into the air were torn apart by the tornado, and the cash from the robbery flew all over the sky.

Get it!

Although manipulating lightning and tornadoes are fine micro-manipulations, this level of micro-management is nothing to Roy.

If he wants, he can even control the tornado to wrap the robber and the travel bag separately and spin them around.

It can even make these robbers fly around like a superman under the tornado package.

"Let's go, I probably won't see The Flash today."

Roy ignored the cash flying all over the sky and the robbers in the vehicle, and said to Harry.

"Uh-huh!"

Harry nodded quickly.

hotel.

presidential suite.

After preventing the robbers from leaving, Roy took Harry back to the hotel where he lived and turned on the TV in the living room.

Not surprisingly, the news outlets in Central City are now reporting bank robberies in the downtown area.

Except for the group of unlucky guys he stopped, the robbers who robbed other banks all walked away with the robbed cash before the police arrived.

According to statistics, a total of five banks in the business district were robbed, and the cash stolen exceeded [-] million US dollars.

In addition to reporting these robberies, the hosts and guests of the major channels are all discussing the same issue.

So where did The Flash go?

Some guests and commentators with more extreme views even began to condemn the Flash's inaction.

That's right!

They're denouncing The Flash!

After seeing these guests and commentators start to condemn the Flash, Roy's first reaction was that the Flash protected Central City too well.

The opinions of these guests and commentators are surprisingly consistent, that is, since the Flash is deeply loved by the citizens of the central city, he has an obligation to prevent all crimes that occur in the central city.

Otherwise, he would be sorry for the love and affection of the citizens of Central City.

Roy doesn't know why these guests and commentators have such a brain circuit, but one thing he is sure of is that there are not a few residents of the central city who have this kind of thinking.

On the way back, he asked Hancock to search local forums and various websites.

It turns out that what Central City citizens are now raging about is not the bank robbery itself, but why The Flash didn't stop the robbers.

Although some citizens are helping the Flash to explain, most of the citizens are complaining about why the Flash didn't show up.

After watching for a few minutes, Roy turned off the TV after discovering that there were guests and commentators on all major channels denouncing The Flash more or less.

"Hancock, try to hack into the database of Star Lab."

Roy said to Hancock.
