Eudemons Qinglong in American manga

Chapter 304 Do what you say, the chaos in the central city
Knowing what Reverse Lightning is doing now, Roy doesn't need to waste extra energy looking for him.

According to the cooperation agreement between Reverse Lightning and Captain Cold, Reverse Lightning will take the initiative to show up after the speed belt is ready.

All Roy has to do is wait patiently for the reverse lightning to appear.

Although he hasn't figured out how to capture Reverse Lightning yet, he's not particularly worried about it.

His speed is indeed not as fast as Reverse Lightning, but that doesn't mean he can't catch Reverse Lightning.

After leaving the presidential suite where Roy lived, Captain Cold did not leave the hotel immediately, but came to the hotel's internal bar.

He needs to think calmly now.

While not a hotel guest, the hotel's in-house bar is not just for staying guests.

After arriving at the bar, Captain Cold went straight to the bar and ordered a bottle of whiskey with the bartender.

After that, while drinking the whiskey in front of him, he thought about the next arrangement.

Judging from the current situation, it is impossible to get back the field from Roy.

Roy's strength is much stronger than he expected.

To be precise, he couldn't see Roy's true strength at all now.

The only thing he can be sure of is that Roy's strength far exceeds his own.

After frowning and thinking for a while, Reverse Lightning cursed secretly in his heart.

Damn!

If I knew this guy was so troublesome, I shouldn't have come to him in such a hurry.

Although coming later may not be able to defeat Roy, at least he won't be as passive as he is now.

To make matters worse, Roy now knows about the cooperation between him and Reverse Lightning.

According to common sense, it is absolutely impossible for Roy to know about this.

But the problem is that Roy not only knew, but also said it outright, and gave him a "choice".

Captain Cold and Reverse Lightning really don't have any personal friendship.

But compared to Reverse Lightning, he is now more afraid of Roy.

In other words, he has no idea what kind of person Roy is now.

Although he regretted it a bit, Captain Cold knew that he could only bite the bullet and cooperate with Roy now.

presidential suite.

Not long after Captain Cold left, Harley walked out of the bedroom in sexy silk pajamas and came straight to Roy.

She came directly to Roy and lay down, like a lazy little milk cat, resting her head on Roy's lap, and said softly:

"The uninvited guest sent away?"

"Uh-huh!"

Roy nodded back.

"Did he get revenge for yesterday's bar fight?"

Harry continued.

Although she didn't see Captain Cold, she had already guessed that the uninvited guest Roy said was Captain Cold.

After coming to Central City, apart from the hotel and outside service staff, they only had contact with two groups of people.

Sisko and Caitlin had just met, so they definitely wouldn't suddenly come to the hotel to look for them.

After excluding Sisko and Caitlin, only the gangsters are left.

In the Rogue Gang, the only person who would come here uninvited at this time was Captain Leng, who was the leader of the Rogue Gang.

Compared with before, Halle has indeed become a lot crazy now, but her IQ is still there.

"At the beginning, he came to seek revenge on me."

"But right now, he should be my partner."

While stroking Harry's hair, Roy briefly talked about his cooperation with Captain Cold.

Although his collaboration with Captain Cold involved the Reverse Flash, he had no intention of hiding it from Harley.

In other words, there is nothing to hide.

After listening to his narration, Halle continued to ask:

"Is that speed belt really as magical as Reverse Lightning said?"

"If nothing else, yes."

"But what kind of belt he can make in the end, I can't tell now."

Roy replied quickly.

He has great confidence in Reverse Lightning's scientific research level, but he has little confidence in Reverse Lightning's character.

If Reverse Lightning earnestly fulfills the agreement, he can indeed make a speed belt that temporarily grants other people supernatural speed.

But whether he would do this honestly, Roy was not sure.

On the surface, Reverse Lightning really didn't need to fool Captain Cold.

After all, their purpose is the same.

But the ghost knows if Reverse Lightning is secretly planning other things.

If supervillains do what they say, it would be too unvillainous.

"I hope he makes a speed belt."

Harry said seriously.

"why?"

Roy asked back.

"Because I also want to experience the feeling of having super speed!"

amount……

I have to say that Harley's idea is quite normal, not crazy at all.

"Then it depends on whether Reverse Lightning really keeps its word."

Roy said with a smile.

……

time flies.

Before I knew it, a week passed.

During this week, Roy and Halle experienced the customs of Central City just like ordinary tourists.

Except for going to the Star Lab every other day to see if there was any sign of Flash returning, Roy enjoyed his life as a tourist in a low-key manner.

In addition, whether it was Reverse Lightning or Captain Cold, he had no intention of inquiring or looking for them this week.

Although the only people who know that the Flash travels to other universes are himself, Sisko and others.

But the inexplicable disappearance of the Flash still caused some speculation in the outside world.

If the ordinary citizens of Central City are just guessing where the Flash went, why didn't they fight crime as before.

So for the gangsters and punks in Central City, it's like Christmas this week.

Although the Central City Police Department is working hard to prevent criminal activities in the city.

But now that there is no Flash, the Central City Police Department quickly experienced what it means to be understaffed.

Normally, a city's police station will definitely be equipped with enough police officers to maintain local law and order.

But there is something special here in the central city.

The Flash's hard work has indeed reduced the crime rate in Central City to a large extent.

At the same time, another problem inevitably arises.

That makes the Central City Police Department appear particularly incompetent and overstaffed.

As a result, the city government of Central City received the proposal to cut the budget of the Central City Police Department as a matter of course.

Because the beautiful country is a very "democratic" country.

Therefore, the proposal to cut the budget of the Central City Police Department passed without any suspense.

Although many people know that the Flash cannot always guard the Central City.

But those congressmen don't care so much.

They also knew, of course, that the Central City Police Department was overstretched because The Flash helped fight criminals.

Once The Flash leaves, or stops fighting criminals, the cut-down Central City Police Department will immediately face understaffing.

Although there are hidden dangers in this regard, most of the members of the parliament passed the proposal.

The reason is simple, no one knows whether The Flash will stop fighting criminals in the future.

But one thing is certain.

That is, once the proposal is passed, the budget cut from the Central City Police Department will be real.

Even a month off is a lot of money.

Speaking of this, I have to talk about the expenditure on the police station of those well-known metropolises in the beautiful country.

Take the beautiful country of New York as an example.

Roy clearly remembered the world before he traveled, which was the real world without superheroes and supervillains.

The annual budget of the New York Police Department is as high as billions or even tens of billions of dollars.

This amount is already much more than the annual military budget of many countries.

And this is just a world without superheroes and supervillains, the annual budget of the New York Police Department.

In a world of supervillains and superheroes, it's not surprising that the NYPD's annual budget doubles or triples.

The annual budget of the Central City Police Department may not be as high as that of the New York Police Department, but it is not much lower.

After all, in this world, Central City is a well-known city in China, second only to Metropolis, Gotham, New York and other big cities.

As far as Roy knew, the annual budget of the Central City Police Department had been cut many years ago.

The more active the Flash is, the more criminals he takes down, and the more the Central City Police Department's budget is slashed.

So this also brings up another problem, which is that the police in Central City don't actually like The Flash very much.

No one likes a guy who causes his own salary to be cut!

Even if this person is a superhero!
In this regard, Batman Bruce is much better than The Flash.

The existence of Batman not only did not lead to cuts in the budget of the Gotham Police Department, but also increased year by year.

Back to the Central City Police Department.

Because of the "inexplicable" disappearance of the Flash, the Central City Police Department has been in a hurry this week.

Many gangsters and criminals who used to be afraid of The Flash took advantage of this opportunity to flex their muscles.

In addition to taking the opportunity to "purchase with zero yuan" and rob banks and jewelry stores, many gangs also chose to expand their territory at this time.

As a result, the night in the central city became very lively.

If this trend continues, Central City will develop into another Gotham within a few months.

Although Roy is in Central City now, he has no intention of stopping these criminals at all.

He never thought of himself as a superhero, let alone that he had an obligation to protect other citizens.

When in a good mood or looking bored, he doesn't mind cracking down on crime.

But now, he has no such idea at all.

As long as these gangs and criminals don't interfere with his play, he doesn't bother with these guys.

Central City East.

It's a small barbecue restaurant with a not-so-luxurious decoration, but it has a good reputation. Roy and Halle chatted casually while enjoying today's lunch.

In the past week, Roy accompanied Harry to various attractions in Central City.

They even went to seven or eight of the bars in Central City that catered exclusively to gangsters.

If it hadn't been for the fact that he hadn't met The Flash and Reverse Flash and found a way to get the Speed ​​Force, Roy would have thought of leaving Central City and heading to the next city.

While he was chatting with Harry about where he was going in the afternoon, his cell phone rang suddenly.

After seeing the caller ID displayed on the screen, he immediately pressed the connect button.

In the next second, Captain Cold's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Reverse Lightning contacted me and said that the speed belt will be delivered tonight."

"He will inform me of the specific location at night."

Captain Cold said quickly.

"okay, I get it."

After speaking, Roy hung up the phone.

After waiting for a week, I finally got the news from Reverse Lightning.

If Reverse Lightning hadn't appeared yet, he would have used his knowledge and arrogance to search for Reverse Lightning all over the city.

Although the reverse lightning may not be hidden in the city, and the speed force may not be perceived by the knowledgeable domineering, but there is no harm in trying.

"Captain Cold calling?"

Harry asked Roy.

"Well, Reverse Lightning has asked him to trade the speed belt tonight, and the exact location is still unclear."

Roy replied.

"Oh, can I go with you tonight?"

Harry continued.

"Next time."

Roy looked at Harry apologetically.

If the person to be arrested tonight is not Reverse Lightning, but Captain Cold and others, Roy doesn't mind taking Harley with him.

But if you want to catch Reverse Lightning, it's better not to bring Harley there.

Roy didn't want to take the initiative to send a hostage to Reverse Lightning.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you at the hotel."

Although Harley has a little temper from time to time, she is not the kind of willful and unreasonable person.

Now that Roy has made it clear, she will not stalk him.

"Uh-huh!"

Roy nodded.

After having lunch at this well-known barbecue restaurant, Roy took Halle back to the hotel.

night.

After accompanying Harry to dinner in the hotel restaurant, Roy left the hotel alone.

He didn't drive away, but directly left the presidential suite with a flash.

In just an instant, he was near the bar where he first saw Heat Wave and the Golden Glider from the presidential suite.

He didn't flash into the bar directly, but flashed to a nearby alley.

Then, he walked into the bar like an ordinary guest.

As soon as he entered the bar, he saw the three of Captain Cold.

Instead of saying hello to Captain Cold, he went straight to the bar and asked the bartender for a bottle of whiskey.

Time passed little by little.

Soon, half an hour passed.

Just when Roy wondered whether Reverse Lightning was going to release Captain Cold's pigeons, he received a text message from Captain Cold.

The message from Captain Cold was the meeting address sent to him by Reverse Lightning.

Glancing at the address above, Roy did not leave the hotel immediately.

After the three of Captain Cold left the bar and went to the meeting place, he unhurriedly checked out and left the bar.

Although he left the hotel late, he arrived at the building near the meeting place earlier than Captain Cold and the others.

For Captain Cold, it takes more than 20 minutes to drive from the bar.

But for Roy, it was just a thought.

After arriving at the roof of the building near the meeting place, without any hesitation, he immediately displayed his knowledge and arrogance, sensing the breath of life nearby.

He directly ignored those normal breaths of life, and focused on perceiving superhuman life breaths.
