"Damn it, how did you take it off?" Jordan lowered his head and saw with shame and anger that his fingers were indeed bare, and the green light uniform made of green energy on his body also dissipated little by little from his feet upwards.
Bateman held up the light ring and looked left and right, "I didn't find any buttons on it, so I guessed it might be controlled by mind."
He looked calmly, looked at the surprised Jordan, and said calmly: "While you were not concentrating, I took it off easily like picking strawberries.
Green Lantern of Sector 2814, you are very unqualified.
I don’t know how the Green Lantern Corps selected you, but judging from your performance, you are not the ‘Green Lantern’ I want.”
"You can't do it easily." Jordan suddenly realized that all his uniforms had disappeared, and he quickly covered his face, "Give me the ring back quickly."
In fact, there was no need for Bateman to return the ring. He only had to concentrate and with a thought, the ring broke out of Bateman's hand, traced a green path, and returned to his finger.
"You seem to be from Earth?" Bateman looked at him with squinted eyes.
"Shit, did you recognize me when you saw my face?" Jordanhal was angry.
"You're not Bruce Wayne. People can recognize you at a glance?" Bateman complained, and then said: "Actually, you don't need to cover your face.
Last time all members of the Green Lantern Corps surrounded the Earth, there were thousands of aliens, and there were only a few who looked exactly like humans."
"Then how did you guess my identity as an Earthling?" Hal Jordan asked doubtfully.
"The Green Lantern ring has its own translation function, which can help Green Lantern communicate with any civilization in the universe without any obstacles. But after losing the ring, your English is still fluent, and you seem to have a Western American accent." Bateman looked at Green Lantern
Xia's lower abdomen, "I also have a Coach men's belt from last winter."
It is now October and the heat has not completely subsided. Under Hal's green light uniform, he wears a white shirt and black trousers. The shirt is tucked into the trousers and the belt is exposed.
Hal frowned and looked at the 'ordinary' hero with a bloodstain on his mouth. This guy seemed to be anything but ordinary.
"Yes, I am from Earth, from Beach City.
I saw your message on the Green Lantern section of the hero forum. Are you looking for Green Lantern to form the Justice League?
So, here I come."
"I'm not inviting you to form a team." Bateman paused, looked up at the green light opposite for a moment, and then changed his words: "If you are an Earthling, you can join the Justice League as long as you can pass the assessment.
I specifically sent a message to Abinsu before.
Although he has been a hero on Earth for a few months, and I appreciate his character and conduct, he is not from Earth after all. Unless he takes the initiative, I will not rashly invite him to join Zhenglian.
Well, he hasn't appeared on Earth for almost half a month.
But the demon-like activities became more and more frequent, so I left him a message. Do you understand what I mean?"
Hal said "Hmm" and said: "Are you worried that the Green Lantern Corps will break the contract? In fact, you are overthinking. I have been receiving the most professional "Green Lantern Warrior" training on Oua these days. I am not running away or evading responsibility."
Bateman looked at him intently for a long time before saying in a gloomy voice: "It's not that I think too much, but that I think too little and it's too simple."
"What do you mean?" Hal narrowed his eyes, "Didn't I come?"
"Where did the demonoid go?" Bateman asked.
This sudden question made Hal look confused.
After being stunned for a while, he turned his head and searched around, pointed to the broken bricks, and said: "It was locked there before, but you took my ring away, causing the embodied energy chain to collapse and it escaped.
"
"Did you see when it escaped?" Bateman asked again.
Hal shook his head in embarrassment, "The demonoid is too cunning and sneaked away while we were not paying attention.
But don't worry, now that I'm here, I will definitely give peace to the people of Gotham."
Bateman said calmly: "When I said, 'You are not the Green Lantern I want,' a yellow mechanical wing in the shape of an insect wing popped out from behind the demonoid and flew away with a 'buzz'.
There’s not a lot of movement.”
"Well, you saw it?" Hal was stunned, "Why didn't you stop it?"
Bateman sighed helplessly, "Tell me, why am I telling you this?"
"Yeah, what are you talking about? Since you extended an invitation to me and I'm here, shouldn't you immediately take me to meet other Zhenglian companions?" Hal said impatiently.
Bateman said: "You didn't even notice when the enemy was close at hand and fled. It's obvious that you are not a qualified warrior.
Don't get excited. I'm not denying your potential and talent. There must be a reason why Abinsu, the 'Greatest Lantern in History', picked you. Well, it shouldn't be because you are from Earth, otherwise it would be too bad.
But now, you have just transformed from an ordinary person to a space policeman. You are inexperienced and careless. How long have you been training in Oa?
Less than half a month, right?
In Gotham's primary and secondary schools, it will take at least twenty days to sign up for the Boy Scout training camp.
Not only are you not a qualified Sector 2814 cosmic SWAT, you are also unable to handle the upcoming 'Apocalypse Crisis'.
But the Guardians let you come.
What do you mean by them?"
"The Guardian trusts me," Hal said with a guilty conscience.
"Have you spoken to the Guardian?"
Hal shook his head, "I have been training at the legion station and have no chance to go to Guardian Cliff."
With a low engine hum, the Bat fighter floated to the edge of the rooftop like a black ghost. The hatch popped open, revealing a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy sitting in the driver's seat.
"Fake, the guardian broke their oath and sent a rookie to the earth to be cannon fodder, and he was an earthling cannon fodder. What a save!" The young man wearing a black eye patch and a Robin suit cursed in a low voice.
Robin and Bateman have always opened instant messaging, and everything Bateman says, hears, and sees can be transmitted to the main console in front of Robin.
"Hey, boy, where did you come from? Can you speak?" Hal shouted unhappily.
"Green Bulb, don't you understand yet? Your guardian boss sent you to Earth to be cannon fodder." Young Robin said.
Bateman jumped into the cabin as the co-pilot and whispered: "Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly."
"Where are you going? We haven't finished talking yet," Hal said.
"Follow me first." Bateman said briefly before the hatch cover closed.
Ten minutes later, Bateman jumped out of the cabin again and came to the sewer entrance.
"What are you fussing over?" Hal landed next to him and asked in confusion.
Bateman handed him the Bat Watch and saw a red dot flashing on the small screen.
"I left a tracker on that demonoid, and I want to understand why they are moving around.
When I knocked it to the ground and wanted to press for information, I found that the demonoid's eyes were full of madness and chaos.
As Superman said, demonoids are intelligent, but unable to communicate normally."
Bateman glanced at Green Lantern, "You're doing a disservice by helping me tie it up.
I just hope it escapes.
Otherwise, I'm not stupid. I watch it gather energy in my mouth, but I don't know how to counterattack or dodge?
I took off your ring not because I really don't know what a ring is.
I want to let it go."
Of course, one of the core reasons is that you are too arrogant and dare to question my ability. I need to teach you a lesson.
"The Apokolips demon is wearing high-tech armor. Even if it is an ordinary product, it should have an abnormal signal detection function to prevent tracking." Hal said in surprise.
Bateman lowered his head and looked at the entrance of the sewer well, and said casually: "The Bulldog Duoduo only costs 199, and Guardian Communications is worth having."
This is the advertising slogan for Household Dogs.
Then he added: "You are a hero. You can apply for a special anonymous mobile phone card, also known as a 'hero card', at the Puppy Hero Forum. It comes with various software for household dogs, free of charge."
"I looked up the Apokolips technology in the Book of Oa. It's very powerful. I didn't expect the Watchdog to be able to defend against them," Hal said in surprise.
"It's not that the technology of the Watch Dogs is better than that of Apokolips. The two sides use different communication technologies, just like binary meets ternary." Bateman explained.
Hal was stunned and said with a complex expression: "Now, how can I help?"
Most of the impetuousness and pride on his face disappeared, and the tone of his words to Bateman became less frivolous and more solemn.
"Come down with me and find it."
Bateman jumped into the well.
"That kid is wearing a Robin uniform." Hal took the initiative to strike up a conversation after walking silently in the sewers for a while.
"Well, he is the new generation of Robin."
"Where is the original Robin Cat? She is a beautiful woman with a hot body, she can fly, and she has super powers."
"Robin Cat" Bateman pursed his lips and said hoarsely: "She is pregnant."
"Ah, your child?" Hal asked in surprise.
Bateman nodded slightly.
"congratulations."
Hal suddenly felt a little embarrassed. The relationship between the two seemed not enough to discuss this topic.
"The earth must not fall!" Bateman turned his head with a determined expression.
"Well, I will defeat Darkseid." Hal held his head high and said: "Earth is also my home planet. In Beach City, I don't necessarily have fewer relatives and friends than you."
"You are no match for Darkseid." Bateman affirmed: "Not only you, but the entire Green Lantern Corps may not be able to defeat Darkseid.
I even suspect that the Green Lantern Corps has suffered heavy losses at the hands of Darkseid."
"Why do you say that?" Hal frowned.
"Both the Green Lantern Corps and Darkseid have existed for at least hundreds of thousands of years, and it is impossible that they have not encountered each other during this period.
But what is the current attitude of the Green Lantern Corps towards the crisis on Apokolips?
The Green Lantern Corps sees itself as the defender of the order of the universe and vows to solve all injustices and tyranny in the universe."
Bateman sighed, "The Green Lantern Corps chooses to act stupid now, which can only mean one thing. They are not the opponent of Apokolips, and they have even failed and compromised.
I wouldn't be surprised if the two sides signed a secret treaty of non-aggression.
It’s just that I was previously deceived by the charm of Abinsu’s personal heroism, and subconsciously regarded the entire Green Lantern Corps as uncompromising heroes who insisted on justice with their lives regardless of profit or loss.”
"I will try my best." Hal said seriously.
Bateman's eyes flashed, "If you are willing, you can do more."
"what else can I do?"
"We're here." Batman lowered his head and glanced at the Bat-Watch, grabbed Hal at the corner, and whispered: "The demon is inside."
The sewer was originally dark, with no light except for the low sound of water flowing.
At this time, there was a wave of wavering faint red light flashing in front of the wall.
It's the demonoid from before.
Its eyes, mouth, and chest all have energy light waves in the form of scarlet flames.
At this time, the demonoid was digging holes in the brick wall with his metal-gloved palms.
"What's hidden in the wall?" Hal asked in a low voice.
Bateman squinted his eyes and said thoughtfully: "It's not that there is something in the wall, but that the demonoid is hiding something in the sewer wall."
