Martin's expression remained calm.

Barry didn't know whether it was because he had become a lamb today or because he simply didn't think it was cruel.

"Pleasant Goat, first cooperate with this artificial intelligence to figure out which part of the reflux energy can be cut off."

Pleasant Goat looked at Martin's cold face and immediately felt something was wrong, so he quickly ran aside.

"As for you, don't act like you've been wronged."

Although Barry didn't say anything, Martin saw through his thoughts at a glance, which was not a difficult task anyway.

"I did take advantage of this incident and didn't inform you, but that was because my acting was so bad that I couldn't hide myself from the Reverse Flash."

"I am the victim, why are you criticizing me?"

Barry's eyes widened instantly. With Pleasant Goat's help, he felt relieved to start arguing with Martin: "Besides, I have been looking for the truth about my mother's death for more than ten years. Don't you think it's cruel that you have been hiding this from me?"

"Of course this is unacceptable cruelty to you. Do you think it would make you feel better if I told you everything at the beginning?"

Martin's rhetorical question left Barry at a loss as to how to answer.

No matter when this kind of thing is told, it is an unacceptable cruelty to the person involved, and there is no such thing as it fading with time.

Since such pain is unavoidable, let's make his pain more useful instead of letting this pain become a toy for Reverse Flash's enjoyment.

Of course, Martin's EQ is not so low that he would say such things directly.

Logic is logic, and feelings are feelings!
"At least you could have given me a heads-up and not kept such a secret in your heart. How can anyone in the alliance trust you if you're so secretive?"

Barry felt that he was not strong enough on his own, so he pulled the alliance out to put pressure on Martin.

"Except you, everyone in the alliance already knows about this. If I can't stay on Earth today, then either Diana or Bruce will be responsible for executing the plan!"

Martin maintained a nonchalant attitude, and Barry's eyes almost rolled up to the sky.

"This is a big deal involving me, and everyone knows about it except me. Are you treating me like a minor who can't be held responsible for my actions?"

Barry was so angry that he jumped to the roof and then fell down again.

"You have no problem dealing with criminals one-on-one. None of us doubt your ability in this area."

Martin tilted his head and watched Pleasant Goat, who had transformed into a blue lightning bolt and was busy and sweating, and spoke faster: "But you have no experience in how to organize and manage people, and your sense of enemy conspiracy is ridiculously poor, let alone dealing with the enemy in turn."

"Do we have to use a conspiracy? Do you have to make it so complicated to deal with someone like Reverse Flash?"

Barry's facial features shrank together, and his psychological emotions even affected his body.

What happened today was too shocking. It was already good enough that he could still stand and communicate with Martin and maintain a certain logic.

"You don't have to have conspiracies, and no one asks you or anyone in the alliance to stand in the shadows. But when a conspiracy strikes, you must at least have the ability to foresee and judge in order to protect yourself and the city you live in."

Martin never thought of letting Clark or the Flash get involved in this matter.

Because the two of them have absolutely no talent for this kind of thing, and they are the kind that cannot be taught no matter how hard you try. It's a pure waste of time and energy.

But not having conspiracies is one thing, and being able to see through conspiracies is another.

"Although Reverse-Flash is shrewd and calculating, he is known for his deliberate actions. But you have been together for a long time. In order to ensure that the future where Reverse-Flash is located is not affected, he calculated several metahumans to their deaths and killed two members of the Central City Laboratory Investigation."

"Before you came into contact with the Alliance, you didn't notice these things, which is understandable. After you came into contact with the Alliance, everyone taught you so much, but you didn't notice the problems in the Central City Laboratory at all?"

Barry is a complete victim of his mother's death.

But Barry is no longer a child, he is not even an ordinary citizen, but the Flash. It is his fault that he does not notice these problems.

Barry squeezed his eyes shut, feeling as if some part of his body was shutting down.

He thought he could find comfort in Martin, but unexpectedly he was harshly criticized instead.

Swish!
Pleasant Goat flashed back to Martin, wiped the sweat from his head and said, "We have taken away all the energy that can be diverted. The remaining energy is too concentrated. The hardware of this laboratory is too poor to withstand the transmission of this level of energy. I tried my best to delay the time, but there is only one hour left."

"That's enough. Just use the sealing method to seal up these energies. These energies are much lower than the source energy used by the Qi Le Camp."

The energy used by the Central City Laboratory is considered excellent on Earth, but for the Green Grassland, it is not really a high-quality energy source.

After all, Slow Sheep and Big Bad Wolf were able to build a nuclear power plant by hand a long time ago, and the Sheep Village has long been living a life powered by nuclear power.

Elsewhere there is nearly unlimited clean energy for animals to use.

The source energy used by Camp Qile is extracted from volcanic ore. It is also a nearly unlimited clean energy that can support the magic and technology of Camp Qile and the Invention Society at the same time.

The sealing method of Qileying can even seal the chaotic element that is a fusion of all elements, so sealing the out-of-control energy in this laboratory is naturally no problem.

But before sealing it, Martin did not let Barry go. He grabbed his shoulders with both hands and shook them hard twice to make him open his eyes.

"Hold on, Cisco and Caitlin don't know about the Reverse Flash yet, you have to inform them."

Barry suddenly became alert, not because he was energized, but because the psychological pressure was greater, and the physical pain stimulated his brain to wake up.

"Shall I inform them?"

"Of course. If you don't tell me, do you want me to tell you?"

Martin stared into Barry's eyes and taught him little by little: "The identity of Reverse Flash has been exposed. From now on, you will be the leader of Team Flash. Not only will you inform them of the news, but you will also be responsible for calming them down, so that they can solve the problem in the laboratory as soon as possible and then find Reverse Flash."

Barry almost thought there was something wrong with his ears.

"I am... you... this is too..."

Barry was so anxious that he couldn't even speak and looked like he was about to pass out.

Pleasant Goat couldn't bear to watch this anymore, so he poked Martin's side and whispered, "At least let him take a breath, it won't be too late to talk later!"

Pleasant Goat has been fighting Big Bad Wolf since primary school, helping the village chief and taking care of the goats in school. Later, the goat and the wolf became friends, but they still often encountered crises and had to ensure the safety of their companions.

So, he understood Martin's meaning better than Barry.

He spoke out to dissuade him, not because he opposed Martin's opinion, but because he wanted to give Barry a break.

Martin looked at Barry, thought about his unlucky life, let go of his hands, sighed and said, "You admire Batman, you should know what he has been through. These things are cruel, but it is just the beginning. We will inevitably experience more later."

"Of course, my attitude was indeed bad and I pushed you too far. Although the situation is urgent, it is not out of control yet. If you really can't hold on any longer, leave the Reverse Flash matter to me and you can take the day off."

Barry sat on the ground dejectedly. Everything happened too suddenly. The truth about his mother's death and the true face of his mentor were revealed without any warning in an instant, causing him a great shock.

Afterwards, he was scolded by Martin again, which added more pressure to his heart.

But he followed Martin's words, recalled Batman's experience in his mind, and understood Martin's intention.

He is the core of Team Flash and has the power to command others. Naturally, he has to bear all kinds of pressure and risks that come with the use of power, regardless of success or failure.

"I" after he realized this, he forced himself to stand up.

Seeing him become so haggard in an instant, Martin raised his hand to stop him: "Leave the Reverse-Flash matter to me and Pleasant Goat. You explain the identity of the Reverse-Flash to Cisco and Caitlin, and take Alice away from Central City for a day. As for Joe, I will let Gordon take him to Gotham in the name of escort."

"Is this necessary? I can definitely hold on."

Barry didn't expect Martin's attitude to suddenly make a 180-degree turn.

"Don't have any illusions about Reverse Flash. If you broke up normally, he would still remember the teacher-student relationship. But once I intervened, there is nothing left."

Martin waved his hand and said in a commanding tone: "You are in a very bad condition, and your mother's matter will become the target of Reverse Flash's attack."

"Since you can't use your full strength, there's no need to take risks. Take Alice to Los Angeles. Arthur is still in need of assistants. No one is worse than you."

"Why not let Cisco and Caitlin go together?" Barry asked this question.

Martin answered directly, "Only by following you can Reverse Flash open the channel to the Speed Force. After you leave, he will find a way to force you to appear."

"There are only two options for him. One is to go to Los Angeles, but facing the complete alliance, he has no power to fight back. The other is to mess up Central City. Pleasant Goat and I will stop him from doing anything to the city. Alice and Joe left Central City again."

"Then he will target Cisco and Caitlin, and you and Pleasant Goat can set traps specifically for him."

Barry regained his composure and quickly guessed what had happened, but this time he was much calmer.

“Is it necessary to fish like this?”

"This is a quick way to solve the problem. But don't worry, I will never put them in real danger."

Martin is not a man who will do anything to achieve his goals.

"The worst that can happen to Pleasant Goat and I is that we can just go around in circles with Reverse Flash. He has a curse on him anyway, so the faster we run, the faster we die."

There are no magicians in this world who know the magic of the American gods. It is impossible to remove the curse on Reverse Flash, even if he enters the Speed Force.

Unless he can find someone at the level of death, or the holy spirits in heaven to help.

However, a guy like Reverse Flash could never get the approval of a great god like Death, and he doesn't conform to the rules of Heaven.

If you sell your entire soul to a demon, you can find a demon that can solve the curse, but this is no different than carrying Martin's curse.

"Arthur just treats me as a humanoid supercomputer. I'm going to be his assistant, but I might as well deal with Ha. Reverse-Flash!"

Although Barry said this, he did not insist on staying and called Alice immediately.

Then, Alice, who was originally going to interview an important person, received a temporary job to visit Los Angeles, and she had to leave immediately.

Barry nodded to Martin, left the damaged time dome, and found Cisco and Caitlin.

"Those two humans are not the type to be easily influenced. I'm afraid Barry is going to have a fight."

"With something this big happening, it's impossible not to have a quarrel. But that's a problem for Barry to solve on his own. We don't need to worry about him. Let's solve the energy problem first."

Martin had never worried about the runaway energy.

It wouldn't matter even if those energies really exploded. The Star Lab in Central City had long been dead in name only. Apart from a few people from Team Flash, all that was left were the cold walls and the wreckage of the particle accelerator explosion.

The equipment used by Cisco and Caitlin was not very advanced, and even if it was destroyed, it could be quickly replaced in a short time.

"Barry has taken Cisco and Caitlin out of the lab, let's get started!"

Pleasant Goat took out his musical instrument and was eager to try it out. He is a little goat who likes new things.

"How's your sealing technique going? I'll start casting the spell in a bit. You didn't hold me back."

Martin also took out his guitar and deliberately teased Pleasant Goat.

"You're kidding. I'm Pleasant Goat, a genius! It's almost like you're the one holding us back."

Pleasant Goat is narcissistic in his daily life, and he waved his hand to shake off a tuft of hair on his forehead.

"Then let's get started!"

Martin plucked the strings and chanted the spell with Pleasant Goat.

“Hula hula pickled cucumbers!”

"Let us go!"

Cisco and Caitlin were forcibly taken out of the laboratory by Barry. He did not believe that Harrison Wells was an elaborately created illusion.

They also don't believe that the doctor who taught them was the one who killed Barry's mother.

"Barry, just because of a so-called artificial intelligence, you believe that Dr. Wells is the Reverse Flash that Martin mentioned?"

Cisco was the more excited one. Harrison Wells was his mentor and had helped him a lot since college.

Without Harrison Wells, he would have been crushed by student loans long ago, and no matter how talented he was, he would never have had a chance to show it.

Caitlin comes from a family of scholars, her mother is the director of Mercury Laboratory, and her father is a famous doctor. Although Harris Wilson helped her a lot, she would still be able to get to where she is now without this help.

But she was equally emotional. On the surface, she suspected Gideon, but in fact she accused Martin of having ulterior motives.

Barry, who was about to leave, began to waver after seeing their attitude.

He was worried that the two would have a fierce confrontation with Martin, and without him to mediate, an irreversible consequence would befall them.

He estimated that given Martin's character, if the fishing plan could not be implemented, he would directly resort to tough measures and forcibly detain Cisco and Caitlin.

Or, let them act on their own, rescue them after Reverse-Flash hurts them, and let the facts speak for themselves.

Barry didn't want to see either of these two outcomes, so he advised the two to calm down and not leave if things really didn't work out.

Naturally, the two scientists did not believe this at all, and their attitude towards Martin changed from suspicion to accusation.

Barry had a headache.

The next moment, two spots of light rose above the laboratory, red and blue.

Although the light spot was not big, only the size of a fist, and if you stood far away, you couldn't see anything, it attracted the attention of Barry and others.

Two different melodies, one exciting and the other gentle, came out from the laboratory. The two light spots hanging above the laboratory suddenly accelerated and collided with each other. They immediately scattered into stars in the sky and turned into beams of light that fell from the sky and hit the ground directly.

These light beams directly penetrated the pipes of the Star Laboratory, forcefully breaking up the extracted energy, which was then extracted by the light beams and transformed into thumbnail-sized cubes that fell to the ground with a clink.
