Chapter 475 When Schiller Finds a New Street Lamp (Part 2)
By the time Batman got out of the car in a slightly embarrassed state, his understanding of the vehicle's emergency safety system had reached a new level.
He shook his slightly dizzy head, opened his eyes, walked to the car, and wanted to fish out the clown too.
But at this time, he discovered that the back seat door had disappeared in the explosion, leaving just an opening for people to get out. While he was fighting the airbag, the clown had already sneaked out from behind.
Already.
Batman took a deep breath and looked through the Batmobile at the large crater in front of the steps that was blown up by several rockets.
Then he raised his head again, looked around, and confirmed that this was indeed the waiting hall of Arkham Psychiatric Hospital, not some Gotham Elizabeth Street or the living hell taproom.
During the period when he broke free from the car, the situation in the entire Arkham Psychiatric Hospital changed again.
Because the ghost appeared on the third floor, the patients on the third floor took the lead. After the fourth and fifth floors were alerted, they all provided fire support to the third floor. The poor ghost did not last long and turned into a ghost.
A faint green light disappeared in place.
However, the people of Gotham have always had a strong sense of last-hitting. In order to ensure that the ghosts were completely killed, they used some safe and compliant weapons to completely disinfect them.
Most of the patients here are illiterate. They don't know anything about load-bearing walls or building mechanics. They just hit a corner and beat it to death. Not only did they use guns, but they also used explosives. As a result, the corner of the corridor on the third floor was blown down.
.
Fortunately, Arkham Psychiatric Hospital is not a high-rise building, and the overall building is very large and stable. It did not collapse as a whole because a corner cracked.
But what is more unfortunate is that the ceiling on the third floor is also the floor on the fourth floor. After this floor collapsed, the unlucky guy in the corresponding room on the fourth floor fell directly to the third floor and was injured by the falling floor.
Many of the people on the third floor were subordinates of the people who were injured. When they saw their boss being injured, of course they rushed up to protect him and angrily accused others of going too far.
"Fisherman! Are your eyes on your nose?! Can't you see that the corner of the wall is cracked? How dare you throw a grenade??"
"Shut your mouth, Lawrence! You and your father are both softies in the West End. Who the hell has to see if the corner is cracked when there is a war??"
"You Pelican Gang just want to cause trouble! When we distributed the water source, you robbed two of our pipelines. For Dr. Schiller's sake, I didn't cause trouble for you here!"
"I'll shoot you in the head, Antonio! Do you have any right to speak here? Have you forgotten how your uncle died?"
"Shut your mouth, fisherman! Bang!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Da da da da da da..."
In an instant, the entire corridor became a mess. Everyone picked up their weapons and started fighting. The entire corridor was illuminated by fire like daylight. The whole scene could not be said to be peaceful negotiations or friendly exchanges, or it could be said to be revenge.
Complain for complaint...
A firefight started on the third floor, and there was no way to escape on the fourth floor. Soon, the talkers in the four districts of the living hell began to fight fiercely. The four giants of Elizabeth Street joined the melee. The leaders of the Twelve Families also wanted to help.
In the scene, the entire Arkham Psychiatric Hospital was reduced to a mess.
In an office at the edge of the second floor, a thin figure held a phone and said to the other end:
"Yes, I'm looking for Cobot...Yes, please tell the boss that the situation here is a bit confusing. He'd better come over in person..."
"It's like this. At the beginning, it was the fisherman in the South District. Do you know him? It was the bearded man who suddenly opened fire and said there was a ghost. People on the third floor said they saw ghosts..."
"...I don't know this because I didn't see it with my own eyes. After they started fighting, they asked me to go upstairs and call others..."
"Yes, I think so too. If the beating is too severe, the doctors and nurses will be angry..."
"If he is coming, he'd better hurry up..." The freckle-faced little boy turned to look out the window and said:
"Looking at the weather, I'm afraid it's going to snow again."
Looking out the window, in the dark sky, a crystal snowflake slowly fell down, followed by more snowflakes.
When the snow falls, everything is silent, but when the breeze picks up, the drifting snow turns into sharp blades. With a heart-stopping sound of breaking through the air, it picks up the thin ice that has not yet melted on the Gotham road, and rushes all the way to Gotham.
In the manor area.
In Schiller's manor, the atmosphere was still quiet and peaceful. The flames in the fireplace rose up, leaving various shadows on the wall behind him. Hal was slightly distracted looking at the beating shadows, but soon... Schiller
Then he took Dick and Aisha downstairs.
Merkel immediately stepped forward and said to Schiller: "Mr. Hal has been waiting for a while."
"Oh, it's okay, I came too early." Hal said quickly.
"No." Schiller patted Dick on the back and said, "Today's knowledge point is more important, so I delayed it for a while. I hope you don't mind."
"But why did you come to pick them up?" Schiller asked a little confused: "Where's Alfred?"
"Oh..." Hal showed a somewhat embarrassed expression. He rubbed his hands and said, "This is a matter of the Wayne family. I don't think I can..."
Schiller looked at him from above his glasses. Hal sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, Alfred is going to find trouble with Constantine."
Schiller winked at Merkel, who immediately came up and said to Dick and Elsa: "Miss, and Master, Mr. Rodriguez recently bought two new picture books, let's go to the study to read them.
Let’s see.”
After the two children left, Hal sat back on the sofa, leaned on the soft backrest of the sofa, and sighed. "You should know that Batman has been investigating that Constantine..."
"His method of investigation is to spend all his free time following him. He seems to be following him very closely recently."
"Alfred was dissatisfied with this. At first, I didn't quite understand it. I thought that Bruce was an adult and it was his own choice to do what he wanted to do. But then I found out that Constantine actually...
…”…
Hal showed a rather speechless expression, with a hint of disgust in his helplessness. He said: "He went a little too far. If I were Alfred, I would not let Bruce come into contact with such a person."
.”
"So, Alfred is going to warn Constantine?"
Hal pursed his lips, recalling Alfred's expression when he went out and the shotgun in his hand, and said:
"The word warning may not be very accurate..."
"But why did he go today?"
"I didn't dare to ask, but I heard on the radio that the guy named the Joker seemed to have planned some explosion. He should have held Batman back. Alfred also knew this, and he had
Enough time to 'warn' Constantine."
"And..." Hal hesitated and said, "I don't think Alfred would have been so impulsive before, but since he went to Metropolis and came back, he seems to be in a bad mood, you know
Why is that?"
Schiller lowered his head to study the patterns on the table. Hal showed a suspicious expression, but his eyes were not as lethal as Batman's. If Schiller didn't say anything, there was nothing he could do.
"Oh, by the way." Schiller said to Hal as if he suddenly remembered something: "Originally, I wanted to invite you over at some time. Since you are here to pick up the children today, that's just right."
"What?"
Schiller dug into his pocket and took out a piece of ore that glowed green.
Seeing this strange ore, Hal first instinctively hid aside, but soon, he opened his eyes wide, stared at the ore, and then said: "Is this... green light energy?"
"That's right." Schiller nodded and admitted this. He said, "I have gained a lot from this trip to Metropolis. The most important thing is that I got a kind of ore."
"This kind of ore was originally aimed at certain people with superpowers, which can weaken their abilities, but after some processing by me, they turned into... like this."
As he spoke, Schiller took out a transparent and colorless crystal from another pocket. He turned the crystal around and said:
"Some glutton ate the energy here, but spit out the ore itself as a peach core."
"Before, the radiation here was also green, and the energy of the green light was also green, so I thought, could this ore also carry the energy of the green light?"
"After conducting some experiments, I found that my guess was correct. This kind of ore can indeed be a carrier of green light energy."
Hal hesitated to speak, thought for a moment, and asked doubtfully: "Let's not talk about this for now, where did you get the green light energy?"
"Oh, you said this, I suffer from a rare mental illness called split personality. Among my several personalities, there happens to be a personality that can summon a green light ring, so I summoned a green light ring and did something
A little experiment..."
Hal looked at the mineral full of green lantern energy. He had also been a Green Lantern and knew the properties of green lantern energy. He shook his head and said:...
"The thing in your hand carries an amount of green light energy that a green light ring can't provide."
"I didn't say it was provided by a ring."
"But..." Hal stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, even if you have some mental illness and many personalities, the Green Lantern recognizes the owner based on the number of bodies. No two Green Lantern rings will find the same Lantern.
.”
"Moreover, all green lantern rings have safety locks. The green lantern energy can only stay in the ring, or be instilled into the lantern's body by the ring. There is no way to extract it. If everyone could extract the green lantern energy from the ring,
If you come out, wouldn't it be a mess already?"
"indeed so."
To Hal's expectation, Schiller not only did not deny it, but also seriously admitted it. He said: "What you said is right, but how I did it all depends on you."
Speaking of."
"Start with me?" Hal was completely confused.
Schiller played with the green crystal in his hand and said lightly: "Do you remember what happened after you broke into Wayne Manor?"
"I remember, but how did you know?...Oh, I know, Dick, the little traitor, actually told you everything!"
"Yes, including the embarrassment you felt when you were begging for mercy with a shotgun pointed at you."
Hal dropped his face and muttered under his breath, and Schiller continued: "Remember how the ring fell off your hand?"
"Aisha attacked me and bit me on my arm. I tried to throw her away, but she flew away with my ring...Wait a minute, you couldn't be..."
