In a dark dimension where the sky is dark and the earth is hollow, a huge book ten meters wide is opened.
Above the page of the book, suspended, is a little blue man whose face is rotten and deformed, and his skin has lost its vitality and turned into a dead gray.
Around him and the pages of the book, there were circles and circles of dark energy filled with the aura of death, like cloud rings.
"Let me out! I know your secret, Scarface. You are a traitor. You have betrayed your people and all living people." On the surface of the page that was opened at this time, there was a picture of an angry woman. Looking at her appearance,
It is Lisa, the "Librarian" of the Yellow Lantern Corps.
Responsible for guarding the "Book of Parallax".
She now looked like a two-dimensional person, shouting in the pages of the book.
"It is precisely because you noticed my secret through the Book of Parallax that I sealed you into the Book of Darkness." Scarface said calmly.
The Green Lantern Corps has the "Book of Oa", and the Yellow Lantern Corps has the "Book of Parallax". These "books" are material manifestations of part of the consciousness of the universe, and they can all show part of the truth of the universe to the corresponding Color Corps.
The little blue man of the Green Lantern Corps did not discover that one of his tribesmen had betrayed the Corps. Instead, he was arrested by the Green Lantern Corps and imprisoned in a high-tech prison. Yellow Lantern Lisa got a glimpse of the truth in the "Book of Parallax".
But before she could be shocked, Scarface noticed.
Black Lantern also has its own "book of the universe" - the "Book of Darkness".
Scarface is not only the guardian of the Black Lantern, but also the keeper of the "Book of Darkness".
In the "Book of Darkness", he saw himself being seen by Lisa, and then Lisa was so unlucky that she was stuffed into the "Book of Darkness" and became a real paper man.
"My guardian, I'm hungry." Suddenly, a voice came into this space.
"My lord, what do you want?" Scarface asked respectfully.
"flesh"
Scarface frowned and said: "The beginning of the 'Blackest Night' now? Do you have enough energy in such a short time?"
"Enough! Now the war of color and light has begun, yellow light and green light, yellow light and red light, red light and green light, purple light and yellow light, green light and yellow light, blue light and orange light
The performance of yellow and red lights is particularly good, no one survives wherever it passes.
There are billions of people on one planet, and thousands of planets have been washed with blood, bringing me endless power of death." The Black Death Emperor said excitedly.
Scarface still remained calm and asked: "Master, can you descend completely now?"
"Seventy to eighty percent," said the Black Death Emperor.
"Has your lost right arm been repaired?" Scarface asked again.
As soon as he finished speaking, the air in the dark dimension suddenly became extremely cold and chilly.
"Now that Witch Harley has lost the protection of the rules of the universe, even if I only have one hand left, I can easily crush her to death." The Black Death Emperor said bitterly.
Scarface understood that his master's lost right arm had never been repaired.
"How about playing it safe and waiting another three to five years for the battle between color and light to become intense?" he suggested.
"I don't want to wait even for a second now. Every time I let Witch Harley breathe one more time, it is an unbearable shame for me." Black Death Emperor roared.
"I understand, I will help you find a spokesperson now."
The "Book of Darkness" under Scarface turned the pages quickly with a clatter.
When the pages of the book stopped turning, Scarface saw a picture in which a man was lying in a grave holding a skull and mumbling.
"Sector 2814, Milky Way, Earth, United States, William Hand"
As he read the text beside the picture, William Hand's life experiences quickly flashed through Scarface's mind.
It's like playing a slideshow.
"Huh -" Scarface was surprised and paused when he saw two-thirds of the content.
During William Hand's experience, there were actually three commanders of the Color Light Corps appearing at the same time: Atrocitus, who had not yet used the power of the red lantern, Sinestro, who was still wearing a green lantern uniform, and Ha, who had just become a green lantern.
Jordan.
This was a battle that took place in a cemetery on the outskirts of Seaside City many years ago.
William Hand's family has been running a funeral home for several generations, and there is a cemetery not far from his home. That day, as usual, William Hand attended a guest funeral hosted by his father.
Green Lantern and Redskin fall from the sky.
From heaven to earth, all the way to the door of his house and to his side.
The red monster Atrocitus, who looks like a skinned man, is on the run, and two lanterns are chasing him.
But Atrocitas' target was William Hand.
"William Hand, there is a doorway to pure darkness hidden deep in your heart." He said meaningfully to William who fell to the ground in fright.
Afterwards, he deliberately left a metal barrel that resembled a "Hero" pen on the ground.
William Hand picked it up.
It didn't take long for him to become a member of the "Green Lantern Hal Jordan Fan Group" with this weapon that shoots green lasers.
They can only be counted as ordinary members, and they are at least two levels away from VIP.
In other words, he is just a third-rate super villain.
Seeing this, Scarface's gray face became gloomy and terrifying, "Damn it, not only Lisa from the Yellow Lantern Corps discovered my secret from the Book of Parallax, but Atrocitas from the Red Lantern Corps also discovered my secret."
"The Book of Blood" reveals part of the truth about the Blackest Night - the secret of Death's Speaker.
What about the other legions?”
Even he, the guardian of the Black Lantern, used the "Book of Darkness" to find the spokesperson of death today, at this moment - he is to the Black Lantern, just like Hal is to the Green Lantern, Saint Walker is to the Blue Lantern, Senis
Entrust to the yellow light and Atrocitus to the red light are both embodiments of emotional energy.
However, Atrocitus had found him several years ago and deliberately used means to promote his birth.
How could this keep Scarface from being frightened and angry?
"This is the talent of the Colored Light Corps - to directly peer into some of the secrets of the origin of the universe.
Doesn't Green Lantern Corps' "Book of Oa" also contain part of the prophecy of the Blackest Night?"
The Black Death Emperor disagreed, "If the Seven Lantern Corps can live in harmony, unite and help each other, and bring together the prophecies they have seen, we will have no secrets."
The prophecy in "The Book of Oa" is the "outline" of the Blackest Night. It is very general and brief. It only says that the battle between lust and light will begin and the Blackest Night will come. It does not even explain clearly what the Blackest Night is.
Yellow Lantern's "Book of Parallax" reveals the identity of Black Lantern's guardian - Scarface.
Red Lantern’s “Blood Prophecy” predicts the details of Black Lantern’s spokesperson.
If Scarface goes to Qingdeng headquarters, he will find that they have an incomparable understanding of the question "What is the Blackest Night?"
But Qing Lan only knows about this issue. They don't have any information about the Black Lantern guardians and spokespersons.
The secret of the Black Death Emperor is hidden in Orange Lantern. Well, it's embarrassing. Orange Lantern doesn't have a legion, nor does it have the "Book of Orange Lantern" or its administrator.
The method of dealing with the Black Lanterns is controlled by the Blue Lantern Corps, so Saint Walker left the Legion headquarters and took the initiative to find Hal Jordan.
"Master, your decision is correct. We don't have time to delay. The longer we delay, the Colored Light Legion may restore order from chaos and form an alliance." Scarface pursed his lips and said.
"Go and find my spokesperson. He is the only one in this universe who can exert 100% of my power." The Black Death Emperor said.
Scarface came to Earth quietly without disturbing anyone.
Just like death has come to the earth countless times, but no one will notice anything unusual.
She followed William Hand for nearly a week and felt both satisfied and disappointed.
William Hand really loved death. He slept in the tomb, holding the smelly half-rotten corpse, just like a beautiful woman in his arms.
His eyes when looking at living people showed no trace of vitality or interest, only impatience and disgust; when he looked at a corpse, no matter how horrific the image, his eyes shone like a nymphomaniac encountering a peerless fruit in the wilderness.
female.
He is also very keen on turning living people and animals into corpses with his own hands.
No matter how much he hated a person during his lifetime, he would kill the person and then give the corpse a tender caress and passionate kiss like a lover.
His emotion towards death was so strong that it almost condensed into death emotion energy, which made Scarface very satisfied.
But William Hand's love for death was still not "exclusive" enough.
She waited for a week, but William Hand still showed no sign of enlightenment.
She has no time.
"William Hand, do you really like death?" Scarface appeared directly in front of him.
"You, you are the little blue man?"
Because of Harley, the little blue man became famous on earth ten years ago.
Naturally, William Hand also knew them.
But the little blue man in front of him had deathly gray skin and ugly black meridians on his face. He was a little unsure.
"After seeing me, you only want to ask this question?" Scarface said.
William Hand looked at her carefully. The more he looked at her, the brighter his eyes became, and the faster his breathing became. Eventually, his eyes turned red, his cheeks flushed, and his leather pants showed signs of excitement.
"Beautiful, so beautiful. I have never seen such a charming existence. You are almost the incarnation of death, the goddess of death!"
"Puff!" He knelt on the ground, moved his knees under her little black feet, raised his head crazily, and inhaled sharply at her, "Huh huh huh!"
"Ah ah ah, this smell is so strong that it cannot be overcome. Hiss, hiss, hiss. I have smelled thousands of corpses, and I have never seen such a wonderful feeling."
He looked intoxicated, and his whole person looked dizzy.
"You can be like me." Scarface said.
William Hand's eyes shone and he trembled: "Are you serious? What should I do?"
"Just show your love for death." Scarface said.
William Hand nodded repeatedly, "I love it very much, I love it to death, really."
Scarface shook his head and said: "It's not enough. If you really love something, you will happily own it or share it with the person you like the most."
William Hand is worthy of being the spokesperson of the Black Death Emperor. After hearing these incomprehensible words, he felt like he was enlightened, and he suddenly had an epiphany.
"You are right, my love for death is not absolute enough. Thank you for your enlightenment. I completely understand." He got up, bowed to her devoutly, and then left the Tomb House without looking back.
.
The scarred figure faded and disappeared, always following William Hand.
He was still wearing a villain uniform and walked all the way to his parents' house.
His parents, elder brother and younger brother are all at home.
My mother was preparing dinner in the kitchen, and my father, who had gray hair on his temples, sat at the dining table and said with a dark tone and melancholy: "He is your brother, and he needs the love from the woodcutter."
"Dong dong dong" the door was knocked.
"It's coming." The fourteen-year-old boy jumped up and ran to open the door.
"You-" When he saw the man in the villain uniform, before he could finish his sentence, a beam of green light came towards him.
"Bang~~" The flesh and blood on the young brother's body was like scattered sand, exploding from his torso, but his head still had flesh and flesh, and he could still howl in pain and despair, "No, Dad William, call the Justice League -
—Ah!"
He screamed and turned into a skeleton stripped of flesh, blood and internal organs.
"I love you, my brother, and I am willing to share the best things with you."
William Hand leaned down and kissed the skull's forehead lovingly.
A mouthful of bloody minced meat.
"William, God, what have you done?"
The old mother dropped the dinner plate in her hand, her eyes filled with tears, pain and confusion.
"Whoosh!" William raised the "laser pointer" and dismembered his mother into a puddle of minced meat and a skeleton.
"I love you mom."
His face was full of sincere love, without distorted pleasure, pain or self-blame.
"Why?" The old father was the last one. He shouted angrily: "Even if you join the secret society, even if the heroes of the Justice League come to your door, we still try our best to hide it for you. We still firmly believe that you are a good person, but you have just lost your way temporarily.
Even if I know what you have done, I still say to David and the others - he is always your brother, and you must help him as much as you can.
But you"
"Father, don't cry, don't be sad, I love you too, really, I love you very much." William gently patted his father's shoulder.
Father Hand burst into tears, "Why, why! Even a super villain would not take action against his family!"
William held his head in his arms, gently stroked his back with his right hand, slowly raised his left hand, and pointed the "laser pen" in his hand at his father's temple.
"I don't even want to bring death to the person I love most, how can I say I love death?
I really like death. You knew that when I was little.
I think it is the only eternal beauty in the world, it can take away all pain and troubles.
I love it and I love you, so now I share it with you.
Just like in the past, when you came back from working in Beach City, you would always bring a piece of your favorite "Dalton's Beef Pizza", and you would share it with us brothers with a smile.
You said that the best things should be shared with your family."
"Bang~~" A beam of green light blasted Father Hande's head.
"Now it's my turn to enjoy this eternal beauty." William Hand glanced around the corpses of his family members, sat down at the dining table, and pointed the "laser pointer" at his eyebrows expectantly.
Without any hesitation, he pressed the switch.
"Boom!" The satisfied smile was forever fixed on his face.
"Very good!" Scarface showed his body and looked at William's body with a satisfied smile, "As the spokesperson of death emotions, how can he be a living person?"
The black light holder she expected was a corpse who had committed suicide.
Living means embracing life, and life is the biggest enemy of death. How can a person who embraces the enemy and is reluctant to leave the enemy's arms be the spokesperson of death?
He had killed so many people before, but he never thought of killing his own family.
If you don’t want to bring death to your family, how can you have the shame to say that you really love death?
Fortunately, William Hand had a lot of wisdom, and finally achieved great enlightenment and attained the righteous fruition.
He is indeed the chosen one!
Scarface sighed in his heart and opened his mouth, "Ouch!"
"Wow!"
From the putrid and smelly black juice spurted out from her mouth, a black light flickered and a black ring flew out.
The black ring flew straight to William Hand and was put on his finger.
"William Hand from Earth, resurrected." This is the black light welcome message, simple and direct.
Wisps of black energy surged from all directions and poured into William Hand's body. His skin quickly turned the same dead gray color as Scarface, and his muscles were shriveled and half-rotted, exuding a strong corpse odor that could not be resolved.
He got up and took a deep breath, "Hiss~~~It smells so wonderful, it's on me!
What a wonderful feeling.
And death, it's in me too, I feel death."
"Now you know who I am?" Scarface asked.
The black light ring flashed a few times, and a large amount of information flooded into William's mind.
"I understand, you are the guardian, the guardian of the black light."
Scarface nodded slightly, "And you are the embodiment of our Black Lantern and the messenger of our Lord. You are to the Black Lantern Corps just like Ion Man fused with Ion Shark is to the Green Lantern Corps, and Parallax fused with Parallax Monster
The devil is in the Yellow Lantern Corps.”
"I know who I am, I am the Black Hand!" William said.
Every super villain has a nickname, such as The Riddler and The Penguin.
William Hand's nickname on the road was "Black Hand."
"Black Hand" Scarface chewed for a while, nodded and said: "This name just fits my identity as the apostle of our Lord."
——The Black Death Emperor is missing a hand, so you will be his black hand.
"vomit" the black hand spit out a pool of black juice, and four crystal clear black rings flew out of the juice.
"Flesh, flesh, flesh, flesh, flesh" they were like hungry beasts, whispering "flesh" in a low voice, and "swish swish" flying towards the four skeletons on the indoor floor.
"David Hand from Earth, Resurrected."
"from the earth"
The skeleton of flesh and blood shattered by the "laser pointer" was actually covered with a layer of dead gray semi-rotted flesh visible to the naked eye.
"William, our family is reunited again." Mrs. Hand said softly.
"William, thank you for the gift you gave us." Paul William (Big Brother Mafia) said gratefully.
"The best things should be shared with your family." Mr. Hand said happily.
Black Hand opened his arms, hugged the four living corpses into his arms, and took a deep breath of the rotten stench on their bodies with a look of satisfaction and intoxication, "Ah, what a beautiful smell, such a sweet hug, the feeling of death is so wonderful!
"
"Next, I want more. I want to extinguish the light of life in the universe."
He opened his mouth and spat out a waterfall of black light rings. Countless light rings rushed out of Hande's house, some fell to various parts of the earth, and more broke out of the atmosphere and scattered in outer space.
Scarface didn't expect that he would do this suddenly, his expression changed, and he said angrily: "Idiot, if you want to activate the Darkest Night, you should move to a remote corner of the universe. Why are you so impatient? Witch Harley has been alarmed and is currently
Come over here."
Black raised his hand and clenched his fist, and said proudly: "So what about Harley Quinn? I have power now, I'm not afraid-"
"Come on, she's here." Without saying a word, Scarface took his arm and jumped into a black space portal.
"Boo!" As soon as the space door closed, the Archimedes airship jumped out of Limbo.
