"No... don’t..."
The incredibly realistic psychic vision caused Cisco Ramon to instantly break down emotionally; beads of cold sweat rolled down his cheeks, and his body began to convulse violently.
"Cisco! Cisco, what’s wrong?! Wake up!"
Caitlin Snow, who was standing nearby, was terrified and desperately shook Cisco Ramon’s shoulders.
Lucas frowned and lightly flicked his finger, using his Bio-field to sever Cisco Ramon’s energy resonance.
This kid’s ability is a bit unexpected!
He can actually psychically connect to parallel universes!
However, the price is also very heavy; if not for Lucas, his mind would have been lost in the void, unable to find the way home.
Cisco Ramon gasped sharply, snapping out of his vibing state, and collapsed to the floor, completely exhausted. His eyes were filled with terror, but even more so with anger and disbelief.
"What did you see?"
Lucas asked calmly.
"It... it was all true. I saw it... I saw that island... Little St. James Island... those children..."
Oh!
Well, you got lucky!
He thought Cisco Ramon had seen the Viltrumite The Great Purge; he was terrified out of his wits!
It turned out to be Rhode Island!
Lucas sighed.
This kid is going to have some ’good’ dreams for a few days!
Just then, Barry Allen carried several large bags of food and flashed into the living room.
"Done! The best barbecue and pizza in Central City!"
Barry Allen shouted excitedly.
Only to find his best friend lying on the floor, pale and tear-stained.
"Uh, what happened here?"
If Caitlin Snow hadn’t been acting normal, Barry Allen would have thought Lucas had done something unspeakable to Cisco Ramon.
"Cisco!" Lucas said. "You can choose to tell them what you saw, but I think you need to drink a cup of hot water first to calm down."
Under the comfort of Caitlin Snow and Barry Allen, it took a full half hour for Cisco Ramon to finally recover.
He gasped, and told them everything he had seen, exactly as it happened.
The kidnapped kids, their purpose, the organ harvesting in the basement, and so on...
After hearing Cisco Ramon’s account, the previously lively living room fell into a deathly silence.
Caitlin Snow’s mind went blank, and she couldn’t recover for a long time.
She clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging deep into her flesh: "God... is there really such scum in this world? How could they dare to do that to such small..."
As a doctor, just listening to Cisco Ramon’s description made her almost want to vomit.
Barry Allen’s expression was equally ugly; he clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with extreme shock.
Compared to the ordinary people in The Boys, the criminals in Central City are practically saints!
"Lucas... couldn’t you have punished them through proper legal channels on your Earth? Did you really have to use such... such brutal methods?"
Lucas swallowed the barbecue in his mouth and sneered: "The law? Barry Allen, you’re too naive."
"Do you know who is on that criminal list?"
"Half of America! Former presidents, current high-ranking officials, top financial tycoons, even Supreme Court justices, and generals with heavy military power!"
"They are all interconnected, using their power to protect each other."
"If you go through legal channels, the whistleblower will die the day before the trial, the victims will be forced to sign agreements, all evidence will be wiped out overnight, and in the end, even my friends will be smeared with mud!"
Lucas stood up, no regret in his eyes, only a sense of pity that he hadn’t been ruthless enough.
"So I made the choice for that world’s law."
"I chose to judge them with the most direct vigilante justice, and I chose to make my actions public, so that all of America would know what these people were doing behind the scenes!"
The three of them were deeply shocked again.
Killing so many people, not only did he not hide his identity, but he dared to openly announce it to the whole world?
Barry Allen swallowed hard: "And the result? Did the military and the government not hunt you down?"
Lucas said nonchalantly: "Hunt me down? With nuclear bombs? If all the nuclear bombs on Earth hit me, they wouldn’t even scratch my skin, and in the end, it would only be them who die!"
"In our world, the public stopped believing in the America government long ago. They chose me to act as the Sword of Damocles and gave me a new title!"
"The Regent!"
"Since the law has become a protective umbrella, I have become the new law."
Speaking of this, Lucas looked at Barry Allen, who was lost in thought, and his tone softened a little:
"But you don’t need to imitate me, Barry Allen. The criminals in Central City are like little girls—just petty mischief; they aren’t worth you killing them."
Anti-hero plots, compared to traditional righteous heroes, are simply subversive.
It’s no wonder Barry Allen and the others would have self-doubts.
Back then, he said a few words to Superman and was directly kicked out by the will of that world.
The CW world is still quite gentle.
He had been talking for a long time, and the Highest Will hadn’t taken action; perhaps this world doesn’t have a Highest Will at all.
"Indeed, I haven’t seen such criminals in Central City!" Barry Allen said.
In the police department’s records for the past twenty years, there have rarely been large-scale crimes of this magnitude. If one were to occur, everyone from Captain Singh to Joe, and even him, the crime scene investigator, would be stripped of their positions.
The local District Attorney is not someone to be trifled with!
"Yeah, Captain Cold just wants to make some money, Iron Man loves to bully The Flash, and Weather Wizard just wants to flood this city—typical bottom-level infighting, and minor civil crimes."
Cisco Ramon wiped away cold sweat.
So it was just sweat!
Caitlin Snow thoughtfully handed tissues to Barry Allen and Cisco Ramon.
In the end, there are only two people in the CW universe that Barry Allen would consider killing: Reverse-Flash and Zoom.
The former killed his mother.
The latter killed his father.
Barry Allen has the starting conditions of a web novel protagonist: both parents dead!
However, Barry Allen is extremely kind and has always adhered to his no-killing principle. Even his evil future self, Savitar, only wanted to kill Iris West in the end.
Savitar did nothing wrong!!
In short, the people here are so kind that Lucas finds them cute.
Even the criminals in Central City look like little girls.
The four of them sat on the floor, and the atmosphere had eased up a lot because they had all seen heroes like Lucas, such as the Green Arrow in the neighboring Star City, who also used vigilante justice and faced many charges.
But Oliver is a good person, so by that logic, Lucas is also a good person.
Late at night.
Lucas looked at the tired group: "It’s about time. My place is quite big. If you’re tired of playing, just go to sleep. You can rest here tonight!"
Cisco Ramon heard this and immediately slapped the table and stood up: "Bro! Sleep? What sleep! Only useless people sleep. Gamers never rest! We can beat Dead Island 2 tonight!"
Cisco Ramon clearly hadn’t played Dead Island 2.
This game is nowhere near as good as its promotional CG; it was frequently delayed, and the quality of the released game can only be called ’passable’.
