I just want to live a peaceful life in DC world

Chapter 195 Prophecy
When Jacques opened his eyes again, he was in a messy star laboratory.The black bat with endless speed and power that originally covered the sky and the sun was gone, as if it had never appeared before.

What also disappeared without a trace was the ring-shaped high-energy particle collider that was originally located in the center of the Star Laboratory. This huge machine, which occupies an area almost larger than a football field, has been involved in the speed force, and the empty space There is only Jacques in the laboratory.

"Just now, after I entered the Speed ​​Force, I met Barry and Bruce—by the way, I must immediately write down what they said!"

It was too late to find paper and pens around, and Jacques did not hesitate to transform a dagger from his hand, using it as a pen to engrave the memory in his mind on the ground.

The memory in the Speed ​​Force is like the memory of a dream when you just woke up, it will be quickly forgotten in a very short period of time.That's why Bruce, the killing machine whose earth is minus 44, allows Jacques to remember as much. In fact, in the blink of an eye, Jacques has forgotten most of the relevant memories in his mind.

What Jacques still vaguely remembered was that Bruce seemed to be like a prophet, telling him all the conspiracy and future involved in his world.But he can only choose the more important part of it - the priority records that are urgently related to the current situation, and he can only record key clues for things that are farther involved.

Finally, with the assistance of Speed ​​Force, Jacques carved almost several square meters of text on the ground in a few minutes. The first part was very detailed, but there were only a few key words in the end.

After making sure that his brain was exhausted and he couldn't think of anything more, Jacques took a deep breath and stopped, then carefully read the extremely valuable "spoiler" information obtained from the Speed ​​Force.

"...The truth about the coming of the Dark Knights this time—he was the man behind the scenes? And it's too bad to develop according to the original timeline, but it's too lucky, fortunately, I knew this before all this happened."

Jacques looked in disbelief at the content he had engraved in front of him. It clearly stated that if the original development trend was followed, how the black hand behind this incident would backstab himself when he was most relaxed, and make himself feel desperate. He watched all his companions die helplessly.
However, since it is known in advance, Jacques can make a response to avoid this bad ending.

After sorting out his emotions, Jacques looked at the second half of the content he had engraved.

"Paradise Island - Thalia - Raven - Batman - OA - Apocalypse"

Due to incomplete memory, there are only a few key words in the second half. Jacques has experienced the taste of being a riddle, but it is very uncomfortable that both the riddler and the victim are himself.

But Jacques can barely think of some clues through keywords.

"After I solve the current matter, I should go to Amazon. Then I will find Thalia and Raven from the League of Assassins. They are the clues to find Batman. Then I need to go to OA to make final preparations. Apocalypse is everything. The end, after which I will be able to obtain the peaceful life I want.”

Jacques is no stranger to these key words, but none of the place names involved are places where he can go wherever he wants.

The first is Paradise Island, which is isolated from the world, where outsiders are not welcome, especially outside men;
Then, as the OA star of the Green Lantern Corps headquarters, as an illegal Green Lantern himself, it is estimated that he will not be treated kindly;

Finally, there is Apocalypse, the home of the Darkseid Legion, perhaps the most dangerous place in the universe.
Jacques took a deep breath. Although these seemed to be far away places, since Bruce and Barry, who had observed the future in Speed ​​Force, gave him a reminder, it meant that he could always find an opportunity to go there.

As for what kind of answers you can get after arriving in these places, you will only know at that time.

Jacques read the contents of these "prophecies" one last time, then raised his right hand, and the energy of the magic lamp immediately transformed into a huge green drill bit, which began to spin rapidly.

buzzing-

Under the whirling of the drill bit, the prophecies that Jacques had finally engraved were all destroyed into pieces. These contents will become the deepest secrets in his heart, and he does not intend to let anyone else know.

Looking at the flying stone chips, Jacques recalled that in Speed ​​Force, apart from these important prophecies, there are some memories that are particularly clear.Maybe it's because this memory has nothing to do with the prophecy, or maybe it's because I subconsciously feel that this memory is more precious than the prophecy.

That was the scene when I said goodbye to Batman Bruce Wayne, who was minus 44 on the earth, and Barry Allen, the Flashman who was minus 52 to the earth——

"...that's all we can tell you, and I don't know how much you can remember after you go out—I'll give you a suggestion, remember the closest things first, because future things will be affected by your actions Constantly changing."

In Jacques' eyes, the bodies of Bruce and Barry began to produce double images and vibrate constantly. Of course, it is also possible that Jacques's own state is unstable, after all, they are relative to each other.

"Do you have to stay here? Maybe try to get me to pull you all out."

Regarding Jacques' proposal, Barry shook his head slightly, still with a hearty and open-minded smile on his face.

"We have all lost our bodies that can survive in the real world. What you see now is just a virtual image created by the mental body with the speed force. But don't worry, there will be Barry Allen and Bruce Wayne in your world. Find them, and say hello to them instead of us."

Jacques inevitably showed a trace of loneliness. Although the time they spent together was very short, the two of them were obviously destined to be destroyed in the dark multiverse, but they selflessly helped themselves. This is undoubtedly what can be called a superhero. .

Although Jacques knows that he is not a hero, as a normal person, he still has respect for real heroes.

Seeing that the surrounding red light became more and more dazzling, and his vision was completely blurred, at this moment, Bruce's voice seemed to sound again from afar.

"Jacques Zhou, let me ask you one last question. In your eyes, aren't they... members of the Dark Knights evil to us?"

At this moment, Jacques's consciousness had already begun to haze, so he answered completely by intuition.

"No, I don't think so—whether it's selfishness that wants to redeem the past, or arrogance that wants to control everything, or revenge from someone who has lost everything. These are the most primitive human instincts, and I don't think it's a sin."

A moment later, when Jacques thought he was almost out of the Speed ​​Force, the distant and weak voice sounded again.

"It seems that my expectation of you is correct. Remember your words, Jacques, maybe you can really. At that time, we may be able to meet here again."
