"What do you mean you ran away?" Harley asked curiously.
"Well, his situation is a bit special. Before he was selected by the Lantern Ring, he had been a street criminal.
When he saw us coming to the door, he was very nervous. He only communicated briefly, and his light ring suddenly erupted with a powerful shock wave, and then he took the opportunity to escape.
We left our phone number at his home, but he didn't take the initiative to contact us.
Now I don’t know where people have gone, and I don’t know if they are still on earth.” Dachao sighed.
"I don't understand." Harley said.
Diana said: "Didn't Cyborg just show you Simon Baz's file?"
"I saw that he is black, Arab, has his own beliefs, does not believe in God, and lives in the MSL black community. The criminal file in the police station is enough to fill a briefcase.
What then? Why did he run?
I just wanted to ask about Hal Jordan.
Not to mention that he is not a traditional 'flawless' hero, even if I send a text message to the super villain, he will rush over immediately, is it possible that he is worried that I will take away his light ring?" Harley said.
"If you had gone to see him in the first place, maybe he wouldn't have run away." Cyborg said.
"Haha, my reputation is better than yours? I like to hear that." Harley smiled.
Diana rolled her eyes and said: "Simon Baz happened to be involved in a terrorist attack and was suspected of blowing up a subway bridge with a car bomb.
He is currently wanted by the FBI nationwide, and his warrants can be seen everywhere on television and in newspapers.
We are superheroes, and our daily job is to protect the city and catch criminals.
When he saw a group of Zhenglian heroes coming to his door, he was naturally on guard.
You are not a superhero, and you are not responsible for catching criminals in society.
Criminals will definitely run away when they see the police, but they will not be afraid when they meet the mayor or councillors, who are also government officials. That's the reason."
"Did he do the case of blowing up the train bridge?" Harley asked.
"A street corner camera captured the entire incident as Simon Baz parked his stolen car under a bridge pier.
Later, no one came close to his car, and the time bomb in the trunk exploded, destroying the subway viaduct.
If Dachao hadn't heard the call for help and arrived in time, the tram would have run off the track and hundreds of people would have died.
It was this accurate video that led FBI agents to identify him as a major suspect.
When we found him later, he denied that he wanted to blow up the bridge.
He said he was just short of money and wanted to steal the car and sell it for money.
We felt that the Green Light Ring would not choose a person who tells lies, and we half believed it at the time.
But then, when we asked to check his lantern ring, he suddenly broke out and escaped with clever means as if he had planned it."
At this point, Diana waved her hands helplessly, "Now we are not sure whether he is a good guy or a bad guy."
After a pause, she added: "In addition, he should be wary of us.
At that time, I, Superboy, The Flash, and Cyborg were ready to force him to the Hall of Justice regardless of whether he was honest or obedient.
In short, before the case is settled, we will not let him go after just a few words.
He probably sensed our intentions."
"Are you kidding? You four didn't catch him? Even if he has a green light ring, he is just a novice, what can he do?" Harley asked doubtfully.
"He is a car thief and knows a lot about cars."
"so what?"
Da Chao said: "At that time, the dazzling green light was like the light of a star, blinding our eyes. Then those dazzling green lights were equipped with thousands of cars, running in all directions, covering almost half of the city.
We didn't want to hurt anyone, and we were also worried that he would hurt people on the street, so we were hesitant in our actions. When we stopped the cars with the green light one by one, we found that Simon Baz had disappeared.
I guess he played a little trick. No one was in any of the cars and he was hiding somewhere else.
For example, under the chassis of a car."
"Well, you can use such a large-scale green lantern just after getting the Lantern Ring. It seems that Simon Baz is a natural Green Lantern." Harley nodded.
The selection standards for Green Lanterns are already very high, and it is even more difficult to be proficient in using the Lantern Ring.
Each Lantern selected by the Lantern Ring will not immediately perform the task.
They will go to Oa to receive special training that lasts several months.
Even Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner are no exception.
Hal received orthodox green light training.
When Kyle got the Lantern Ring, the Green Lanterns had been destroyed, but there were still a group of Green Lanterns who had lost their Lantern Rings and were rescued back to Earth by Zhenglian.
Simon Baz just got the light ring and had no instructor to teach him. He made fun of several big guys in Zhenglian right after he debuted.
This kind of talent seems to have the potential to become the "second greatest Green Lantern in history"?
Well, Hal Jordan is the embodiment of will, and no one can surpass him in the profession of Green Lantern.
Kyle Rayner may be "the greatest white light of all time."
In short, other Green Lanterns can only compete for the "second" position.
"Harley, we have to determine Hal's situation as soon as possible." Dachao said seriously: "He disappeared while investigating the black hand.
When you brought back the news of Black Hand's resurrection that day, you specifically asked Hal to take charge of his 'lifelong enemy', right?"
Harley was a little embarrassed, "I thought black hands were not a big problem for Hal.
During the Blackest Night, Hal fought against the Black Hand at his peak, and Hal crushed him.
At this moment, the black hand does not have the help of black lights and zombies, so it should be easier to deal with."
Da Chao said: "No one blames you for letting Hal deal with the Black Hand. In fact, Hal does know the Black Hand best.
I just want to remind you that the message you sent back that day was a week ago, and Hal disappeared within two days.
If Hal is indeed dead as the Lantern Ring said, then that's it.
If he is in danger right now and is in urgent need of help, it will be more conducive to rescue if his condition is determined early."
"How are you these days? I understand. You have exhausted all methods and now you want me to go to heaven to check Hal's 'Book of Life and Death'?" Hallie asked.
"Well, you give it a try." Dachao said expectantly.
Harley took out the big cross in public, and a wisp of spirit drifted into the Golden Hall of Silver City and found Hal Jordan's file
"He is dead, but not completely dead." She opened her eyes and said after a moment.
"What's the meaning?"
Harry said slowly: "The files of believers in the Golden Hall are not the real 'Book of Life and Death'.
It only passively records the words and actions of believers toward the Lord.
On weekdays, if you say "Omaika" on your lips, or mutter "God bless me" in your heart when doing something, or sincerely pray to the Lord in the church, the golden hall will record the corresponding information.
It is not so much a document as it is the Lord’s answer to each believer’s prayer.”
"God is paying attention to every believer, Amen!" Harley crossed herself on her chest with a pious look.
Then she continued: "Archives cannot truly record in detail the process and cause of a person's death.
For example, I cannot learn about the murder of a victim by reading the archives.
Unless the victim's soul enters hell and is judged by the judge of hell, his fate will be recorded in the files.
Now Hal Jordan is shown as "inactive", but his soul did not go to the Island of Heroes.
According to the agreement between Tian Zhisheng and I, after the death of all recorded heroes, their souls will first go to Hero Island to register.
On the other hand, the hero is officially dead only after registering on Hero Island.
Now that Hal has not gone to Hero Island, it means that he is not completely dead yet."
"I understand what you mean, but I still don't understand Hal's inactive state." Da Chao frowned.
Wonder Woman glanced at Harley and said concisely: "What she means is that she doesn't know where Hal is."
Harley shrugged, "You can understand that."
Cyborg sighed: "It seems we still have to find Simon Baz. The detailed information is recorded in the Lantern Ring Log. We can't find Simon, and the Green Lantern Corps will certainly be able to."
"It was a good idea, but why wasn't it implemented?" Harley asked.
Dachao smiled bitterly: "In the past, we would have sent a message to the Green Lantern Corps.
There's even a Green Lantern coming to Earth to help us deal with this matter.
But now Hal and Guy have been fired, Kyle is hiding on Earth to avoid disputes, and John doesn't know what mission he was assigned by the Guardians, and he has been away from Oa for a long time.
As for other Green Lantern friends who have gone through the Green Lantern War, I don’t know if we are still friends.”
Cyborg said: "Yesterday we discussed with Kyle and asked him to go to Oa to check Simon's traces.
Kyle is reluctant to return to Oa at this time.
He proposes to send you a message and ask you to go to the Golden Hall to check on Hal's situation.
If the results are not found, he will go back to Oua to find a solution."
"Send him a message and remind him." Harley said.
A moment later, the lounge of the Hall of Justice.
Louise poked her head in from the door and whispered to Harley, who was sitting inside playing with her mobile phone and waiting for news from Kyle: "Harry, can I talk to you?"
Harley glanced sideways at her, "You want to interview me?"
At this moment, Louise was wearing a dark green women's suit, with delicate makeup on her face, her nose was sweating slightly, her cheeks were red, she seemed to be in working mode, and she still trotted over.
Louise nodded, then shook her head, "Of course it would be best to be interviewed. If not, I would also like to chat with you for a few words."
"About what?" Harley lowered her head and continued to browse Simon Baz's news on her phone.
Ordinary people become the fifth Green Lantern of Earth, and they can stay on the trending list for several days.
Simon Baz has a complicated identity and is suspected of being a terrorist, but he has become a Lantern in one step, making him more topical and eye-catching.
There is a lot of news about him on the Internet, and even his girlfriend was exposed.
“About Lex Luthor and the Vega Galaxy’s stellar-powered furnace ship.”
Seeing that she was willing to talk to her, Louise walked in familiarly and sat next to Diana, who was also watching videos to kill time, that is, on the sofa opposite Harley.
Now Dachao is out to be a superhero again.
And Diana is on duty today and needs to be stationed at the Hall of Justice.
"Was Luther captured by the Green Lantern Tribe?" Louise asked.
"You are quite well informed," Harry said without raising his head.
Louise took out her mobile phone with a strange expression and opened an unedited original video.
"My mother is a devout believer. She has taught me God's teachings of compassion for the sick and weak and caring for the old and young since I was a child."
In the video, Luther is wearing a straight suit and talking on the podium, with a 500-inch giant screen behind him.
The words "Hand in hand, step into the stars, and pay attention to the refugees of the universe with Harvey Dent, the light of justice" scrolled on the screen.
In addition to text, there are also matching PPT images and music.
The content of the screen depicts aliens who are even more pitiful than African refugees.
Their community is dirty and messy, and the people in the community are all sallow and skinny, like reed sticks.
But they all look like white people on Earth.
Paired with sad music, it's heart-wrenching to watch.
Next to Luther sat Harvey Dent, also in a neat suit, and several congressmen.
Below the podium are more than two hundred journalists from around the world and beyond.
The solemn and solemn hall was filled with celebrities. They said nothing, looked at the pictures on the screen with sad expressions, and listened carefully to Luther's speech.
"Unfortunately, today is a great day for the establishment of the Luther and the Light of Justice Charitable Foundation.
Luther wants to donate a total of 200 million tons of food to the Vadakan civilization, the poorest civilization in the galaxy, in the name of Harvey Dent, the Light of Justice." Louise smiled.
"Can the United States spare 200 million tons of food?"
"No, but Lann, Kelu and other higher civilizations are not short of food, and Luther is not short of money." Louise said with some discomfort: "He has become rich in the past two years!
The Guardian Shield system (Limbo satellite) was beaten by the guardian dogs on the earth. Users who have used it say it is terrible, has poor signal, can easily lose data, and is too expensive.
But looking at the universe, Limbo satellites are very high-end technology.
Only the top civilizations can master it, and the technology is not very mature yet.
In this way, ‘Luther Galaxy Communications Technology Company’ has become a universe-level unicorn company.
Even the Lann people came to Earth to negotiate business with him, planning to build at least three Limbo satellites, with a total contract value of more than 150 billion Lann coins!"
Harley stared at the screen and said nothing.
Louise actually knew what she said, but she really doesn't have much interest in money now.
Many high-end goods in the multiverse cannot be purchased with money, but can be easily obtained through fraud, robbery, and intimidation.
Only a fool would bother doing business if he could easily rob.
"Under my mother's teachings and through my interactions with Harvey Dent, I also developed a kind and compassionate heart."
On the screen, the opening speech of the Galaxy Charity Fund was still going on. Luther was already very emotional, with pity and excitement on his face. There were two little stars in his eyes, shining with compassion, "Now, I am willing to give myself up."
of kindness and mercy dedicated to—"
"Whoosh——" The atmosphere was about to reach its peak, and when the distinguished guests were preparing to applaud enthusiastically, a little blue light cut through the sky and landed on Luther's head.
"Program startup intelligent life has been locked"
The light ring made a mechanical but extremely clear voice, "Lex Luthor, an Earthling from sector 2814, you are the least compassionate person in the entire sector. Welcome to join the Green Lantern Tribe."
"Ah, it's the Green Lantern Ring. Luther was chosen by the Green Lantern Ring, hahaha~~um~~~~"
Louise was a little embarrassed. This was her voice. She was also present at the time, reacted the fastest, screamed the loudest, and there was obvious gloating in her tone.
"Oh, No~~~" In the video, the camera gave Luther a big close-up. His face turned blue and he looked frightened. He backed away repeatedly and shouted: "Security, security, where is the security? Stop it. Don't let it go."
It’s close to me—ouch—”
As he spoke, a blue light flashed, and the light ring was already put on his finger.
Then the blue light was brilliant, as if his body was covered with a blue water curtain.
He changed into Qingdeng uniform in an instant.
But Luther was still struggling. The light ring did not distort his thoughts, and he was still sane.
"Harvey, help me. I ask you to be a lawyer and sue the Qingdeng tribe. They innocently slandered me, kidnapped me, brainwashed me, and twisted my mind."
Under Harvey's solemn expression, Luther shouted unyieldingly to the reporters present at the top of his lungs: "Freedom, freedom, freedom ho ho ho~~~"
His expression began to distort, and he shouted out the Green Lantern Oath uncontrollably: "All the evil deeds I have done in the past were caused by my lack of compassion in my heart. Saint Harry, the sage of the Blue Lantern, opened the door of atonement for me.
May mercy be with you, Hallelujah!”
"No, Harley, you can't do this to me!" After shouting the oath, Luther regained his freedom of language again, "Harvey Dent, this is an innocent punishment and a serious violation of the spirit of the law.
I want to go to court with the Qingdeng Tribe, and you are my lawyer. Ahhhh, it hurts so much, my head hurts to death, it is distorting my thoughts.
Freedom, democracy, and equality are about to leave me!"
"But I won't give in~~~~" With the last cry, he turned into blue light and disappeared from the venue.
Louise pointed at the screen and said: "After Luther flew away, everyone at the scene was still discussing heatedly. Although the mainstream media has not reported this news yet, many media people are secretly complaining about Luther."
"Luthor's psychological quality is really strong. Even when his mind is distorted by the light ring, he can still use words to confuse the people." Wonder Woman said with emotion.
"The rules of the Green Lantern Ring have changed." Harley first explained the new system of the Green Lantern, and then said: "Luthor was chosen not because of anyone targeting him.
As the Lantern Ring said, he is the most merciless person in Sector 2814."
Louise suddenly said: "So that's the case, but it's quite reasonable. Luther is the most vicious person in the world and deserves to be caught and become an ascetic in the Qingdeng tribe."
"I have not restricted his freedom. As long as he can control the evil thoughts in his heart, he can return to the earth immediately." Harley added.
Louise said unhappily: "That kind of person will only cause endless poison and harm good things if he regains his freedom."
Harley said meaningfully: "You came to me to talk about Luther, not just for public opinion, right? Someone put pressure on you to persuade me to release Luther."
Louise was shocked when she heard this, and then her expression returned to calm, "How did you guess that?"
Harley sneered: "I still expect Luther to complete the 150 billion Rann contract.
How much fiscal revenue is this, and how many high-income people on earth are provided with golden rice bowls?
Humph, don't say that Luther just lacks compassion, even if he is full of evil, you will still treat him as a treasure."
"Excluding me, I hope he will be a Green Lantern Monk for the rest of his life." Louise waved her hand and said: "Besides, I am not looking for you just because of some people's requests.
I do it mainly for you.
People in modern society recognize more tangible evidence and clearly stated legal provisions.
After all, the Qingdeng Tribe is just a cosmic organization. Why should it deprive a person of his free will for no reason?
Luther was doing charity work at the time!
Since resurrecting from the dead and going to hell, Luther's character may not have changed, but his style has changed greatly.
All of a sudden, he went from a stingy capitalist to the biggest philanthropist on earth."
Diana sneered and said, "He is trying to accumulate merit for himself! Luther is a cunning person. He understands that money is enough to spend during his lifetime. No matter how much wealth he leaves after his death, it is not as useful as a little merit."
Louise nodded and said: "Of course I understand his thoughts, but the reality is that everyone saw that he made a lot of money, but he donated all the money to charity.
After the multi-dimensional restart, every time the earth encounters a crisis, his foundation will provide financial assistance to the affected people.
In the previous Green Lantern War, more than 10 million people died on the earth. He used the "Lann Limbo Prison Satellite Contract" as collateral to borrow 150 billion from the bank, all of which was used for charity to treat the injured and help the families of the deceased.
overcome obstacles.
Today’s Luther, it’s not too much to say, ‘Every family has a Buddha’.”
Diana said with some discomfort: "Luthor was determined to go to hell and be subjected to eighteen kinds of torture every day.
Now the wealth he enjoys in the world has not diminished, and he has gained a good reputation and a lot of merit after death.
It makes people uncomfortable just thinking about it, Harry, it would have been better if you just let him sink into hell."
Harry glanced at her and asked with a smile: "Why do you think gods and Buddhas like to save evil people? They are willing to do hard work that is useless?"
Diana was stunned and asked doubtfully: "What good can it do?"
"First of all, letting a wicked person reform is a great merit; secondly, no matter how much merit a wicked person earns, the god who makes him reform will get a double share," said Harry.
"Are you bluffing me? I've never heard of this theory." Diana doubted.
"Believe it or not, this is the rule of heaven."
Louise said: "Merits are too illusory, but Luther's good reputation now is real.
But such a great good man, great celebrity, and galactic entrepreneur was arrested by Qing Deng because of his character rather than his crime.
The Green Lantern Oath has clearly exposed your identity. What will everyone think after reading it?
Fortunately for you, if it were the Green Lantern Corps who did this, the public opinion on earth would have become overwhelming.
I am looking for you just to clear up everyone’s misunderstanding about you through the interview.”
Harley said calmly: "There is no misunderstanding, the welcome speech of the Qinglan Ring and the Qinglan Oath are all my true thoughts.
In fact, today’s Qingdeng Tribe comes from my design from head to toe.
From now on, the Qingdeng Tribe will only select those with the most compassion and those with the least compassion.
Not to mention those who have compassion, they must be eager to convert to Qingmen.
The most merciless person is a negative improvement to the strength of the Qingdeng tribe and a burden.
The reason why they were chosen is to eliminate disasters for the universe.
It is the Qingdeng tribe that takes the initiative to assume the cosmic responsibility of protecting life.
If his clan members are reluctant to part with him and want to accuse Qing Deng, we will release him immediately.
Anyway, it is only his tribe that is harmed, and Qing Deng can save some resources."
