38. Uncle's Love(1/2)

"I have no idea."

In the mysterious house, Barry's answer was basically the same in the face of a series of questions raised by Merlin.

He knew nothing about what happened to him, about his own changes, about the severely unscientific speed, about the yellow arcs that bent in the cells in his body, about all these new things, about the new situation.

He knew even less than Merlin, even though it was something that happened to him.

This is normal, too.

After all, in the past 20 years of his life, Barry lived as an ordinary person.

Although his amazing observational power is definitely not in the category of normal people, generally speaking, Barry is just an ordinary and ordinary young man.

Now he has become a member of the mysterious superhuman after an accident.

"How do you feel?"

In the hall of the mysterious house, Merlin gave up his efforts to find answers from Barry. He carefully observed his nephew, and he said:

"How do you feel when you are running, when you are moving at the speed of light? Will you feel uncomfortable?"

"No, uncle."

Barry grabbed some "luxury" hair that grew up because of his coma for a long time, and he said:

"In a situation where everyone else is in a time-stop and only I can move normally, I don't have any special feeling, just like usual."

The young man touched his chin and said:

"If I had to say something, in that case, I might be a little more relaxed, just like... an instinct, a release of instinct."

He raised his finger.

As Merlin's gaze, Barry's fingers began to vibrate.

It was just shaking at first, but in a flash, the frequency of the fingers exceeded the limit that the human eye could distinguish.

The afterimage that was quickly moved and pulled out, just like Merlin released the form of Ecken, leaving 5 identical illusions in the air.

Moreover, the illusion can make the same movements based on the bend of Barry's finger.

This scene made Meilin narrow his eyes.

He suddenly recalled the night of the particle accelerator explosion, the yellow light and shadow that tried to assassinate him.

He suddenly realized that the light and shadow were not difficult to understand.

If you break out of the scope of ordinary people's thinking, look at the rough ability that Barry has shown so far.

The shadow of that night was probably because of the super-light speed of movement, leaving a "speed clone" left in place.

Or "time afterimage".

Although it sounds unscientific, it is most likely true.

"When you run fast, can you tell a phantom that can move freely?"

Merlin asked suddenly.

"ah?"

Barry opened his mouth wide and said:

"That kind of incredible thing can't be done by speed alone, right?"

"No, it should be possible."

Merlin leaned against the sofa, raised his legs and placed them together, carrying the sofa armrest with his left hand, and said to his nephew:

"After speed exceeds physical rules, something that you can't imagine now may happen. Maybe you will intervene in the flow time in a rapid Mercedes-Benz, of course this is just a guess."

The Raven Lord slowly picked up the teacup on the table, he sipped a sip of tea, and slowly said to his nephew:

"Of course, you will definitely not be able to do it with your current situation, but it shouldn't be difficult if you continue to exercise and constantly explore your potential."

"I'm not talking nonsense either."

Merlin looked at the confused Barry in front of him and said:

"I have a friend, Ms. Diana, among her elders there is a speeder who is similar to yours, the runner of Mercury in Greek mythology. I heard that the god will turn into a ray of light when he runs."

"When I was chatting with Diana, she told me that in some of the records left by her hometown, Mercury had crossed the river of time several times at the extreme speed."

The Raven glanced at the thoughtful Barry, and he saw a hint of uneasiness and secret joy in Barry's eyes.

He put down the teacup, knocked on the table, and said seriously:

"If Mercury can do it, then you should be able to do it too. But Barry, the ugly words are ahead! I won't allow you to run back and try to save your mother that night!"

"Why?"

Barry raised his head and asked incomprehensible:

"If I had this ability, if I could go back and stop that light from killing my mother, why can't I do it?"

"Because you've been there!"

The Raven was silent for a few seconds and said softly:

"You saw two beams of light that night, didn't you?"

"Two beams are chasing, fighting light, one beam comes from the villain who assassinated your mother, and who is the other? Have you ever considered this?"

Merlin patiently explained:

"I have been following your mother's affairs over the years, but I have gained nothing. I believe that you and Henry read that night, and there were indeed two people running at the speed of light around poor Nora."

"I initially thought that there were two assassins involved in this matter, but when I saw you running just now, I suddenly realized..."

"Barry, you become this...well, the Light Speed ​​Man was actually destined to be more than ten years ago."

As a mysterious spellcaster, Merlin's understanding of things related to "fate" is much deeper than Barry.

He said to the stunned Barry:

"One of the two figures you saw when you were a child was you who grew up, maybe you who came from the future. You have been to that time point, Barry, probably more than once."

"But that's not the point! The point is that since you're still sitting here today, it means that when you returned to the past, you've let that happen."

He warned:

"Excluding some small probability factors, the biggest possibility that you are sitting on the verge of Nora being assassinated and sitting on the verge of your mother to die before your eyes is..."

"You know in the future that once you save her, it's very likely that something worse than her death will happen."

At this moment, the uncle and nephew sat opposite each other speechlessly.

After a few seconds, Merlin whispered:

"Although this is just my guess, my poor nephew, I think my guess is probably not wrong. You can't save your mother, you can't save that kind woman."

"Then...this speed, this ability..."

Barry raised his head blankly and looked at his almost omnipotent uncle, he said:

"What's the use of me wanting it?"

"I can't answer your question, Barry."

Merlin stood up and said to his nephew:

"You may have to find this answer yourself."

Barry lowered his head and looked at his fingers, and he didn't say anything more.

Merlin looked at his nephew who was in sorrow and despair. He did not say anything, but quietly left the hall.

"Are you all telling Barry right now?"

After returning to his bedroom, Meilin heard Xuanlan's inquiry.

The butler said softly:

"The child obviously has the possibility of traveling, but he still has to witness the tragedy of his mother dying in front of him again and again."

"I can't be sure."

Merlin sighed and said:

"But there is a high chance that this is the case. Cili has told me more than once that the taboos of traveling through time. If Barry can travel through time in the future, then he will naturally understand these taboos."

"That is likely to be the decision he made in the future, even... and Barry in the future may also ensure that Nora's death happens smoothly..."

A trace of pity flashed in Merlin's eyes, and he whispered:

"Such a heavy fate, on him, my poor Barry."

"This is so cruel!"

Xuanlan said:

"This kind of thing, even if it's just thinking about it..."

"What I'm worried about now is that although I told Barry about the risks, he will still try it."
