Chapter 478: The Green Lantern Corps Is Unlucky (Part 2)
Hal, who had just used the green light energy to teleport to Oua, was looking at the scenery around the teleportation platform. This is a completely transparent cabin with a cylindrical shape. Through the surrounding glass, you can see an eye-opening view.
Alien city.
The most obvious one is the green spiral building closest to here. It is very large and has an endless height. There are many irregular high-rise buildings around the spiral building, which are connected together by transparent glass tunnels.
There are also many Green Lanterns flying back and forth with green light.
While Hal was watching all this in rapt attention, a group of Green Lanterns walked quickly through the only door of the teleportation cabin. The leader among them saluted Hal.
Hal also saluted him as introduced in the Green Lantern Ring. The young Green Lantern said with a serious face: "Hal Jordan, it's a pleasure to meet you. Welcome to join our big family."
"Thanks."
"Please come with me, our Legion Commander wants to see you." The young Green Lantern said, but several Green Lanterns behind him slowly came behind Hal.
Hal was also trained at the air force base and had basic military literacy. He frowned and found that the other party was not a good person.
But he did not show panic, because Schiller gave him a preview of possible situations before he came here, and the reactions of other Green Lanterns did not exceed Schiller's expectations.
In fact, Hal also thought about it. When the Green Lanterns accept the ring and register as a member of the Green Lantern Corps, their names will be sent to the headquarters of the Green Lantern Corps. Therefore, as long as the Corps Commander wants to check, he can find out a certain person.
What is the Green Lantern's name and which sector he comes from? All Green Lanterns have their real names at the Legion headquarters.
So Hal knew that after so much energy was suddenly consumed, the commander of the Green Lantern Corps would definitely go find out who extracted the energy. Eventually, he would definitely find out who Schiller was, and he would also learn about the fate of the planet Earth.
name.
And he, a Green Lantern who also comes from Earth, happens to show up at the headquarters. You can only imagine what kind of treatment he will receive.
But Hal had already prepared sufficient reasons, so he followed the young Green Lantern forward, crossed a similarly transparent covered bridge, and then flew together into the giant building.
He walked indoors again, took the elevator to the top floor, and finally met the commander of the Green Lantern Corps in a hall filled with green light.
It was a tall, middle-aged man with a beard on his sideburns. Hal saluted him. The legion commander nodded and asked him seriously: "You are Hal Jordan."
Hal nodded and gave a brief self-introduction. Because of his military career, his temperament was very outstanding, even better than other Green Lanterns who had experienced Oa training.
"I am the commander of the Green Lantern Corps. You can call me Tyrone. I heard from the freshman instructor that you delayed your registration. Why?"
"Because the headquarters had previously conveyed an emergency order to me, telling me that Sinestro, the leader of the Yellow Lantern Corps, had arrived on Earth. I was ordered to investigate the matter. Therefore, the superior who issued the order helped me report the delay in reporting.
.”…
"Then why didn't you come to report after the mission was completed?"
"After the main mission was completed, I was ordered to stay in the city where Sinestro had appeared to investigate the hazards and hidden dangers he might have left behind."
Hal's answer was spotless, and it was exactly the same as what the Legion Commander had seen in the information, so the Legion Commander asked again: "Do you know the new Green Lantern in your sector, Schiller Rodriguez?"
"I know." Hal replied expressionlessly. He said, "I am coming from him and I brought a message that he wanted to convey to the headquarters."
Both the legion commander and the adjutant frowned. The legion commander asked: "Message? What message?"
"He said he needed backup."
"Need support???" The adjutant next to the legion commander finally couldn't bear it anymore. He said, "He drained almost half of the energy of the headquarters in just two days. He still needs support???"
But Hal said righteously: "I think this is necessary, because during my stay in that city, I discovered that it may be the most dangerous place in the universe...
"
His serious tone made the young Green Lanterns next to him look at me and me, and they all seemed to want to laugh.
Even though the legion commander Tai Lung was very well-educated, he was a little angry at this time. He said: "Hal, novice white circle green lights like to exaggerate the danger of certain tasks, but that is not actually because this task is really dangerous.
But because of their cowardice..."
"As far as I know, Sector 2814, where the Earth is located, is a rather remote sector. It is far away from the central sector, and the number of registered civilizations is also very small. I don't think there is anything there that can be called dangerous.
"
"So why did Sinestro choose to land there?" Hal asked a question that no one present could answer.
Since Sinestro betrayed the Green Lantern Corps, the prestige of the Green Lantern Corps has suffered a big blow. Most Green Lanterns regard this traitor as a thorn in their flesh.
Therefore, after Sinestro showed his traces on Earth, they didn't even consider that Hal, the only Green Lantern on Earth, was still an untrained novice, so they sent him on a mission to investigate the Yellow Lantern.
To the surprise of the legion headquarters, Hal's mission was completed well, and because of this, his question stunned everyone present.
"You mean, there's something special about the earth?"
"Yes, as described in my mission report, the motive for Sinestro's arrival is 'unknown'. That's because I have not found any conclusive evidence."
"But in fact, based on my investigation these days, I guess that it may be because the lantern beasts of the Yellow Lantern Corps felt a strong power of fear in a certain city on the earth, and therefore attracted Sinestro there.
"
The legion commander and the adjutant looked at each other. The legion commander's expression softened a little. He coughed and said, "But even so, it shouldn't use up half of the energy of the headquarters in two days, right?"
Hal hesitated for a moment, as if he had something to say, but in the end he didn't say it, but the adjutant said: "You can speak freely, there is no need to worry."...
"Well, actually I want to ask, didn't you notice when he was drawing so much energy? If you found out, why didn't you stop him?"
Before the legion commander could speak, the adjutant said helplessly:
"Only when the energy of the ring is completely exhausted, it will return to the headquarters energy for recharging. However, it is rare for a Green Lantern to use up all the energy before recharging. The headquarters energy has never been consumed so fast. We
There is a lack of corresponding alarm mechanism.”
The Legion Commander interrupted him and said: "We will improve this in the future, but we must first find out what is going on with the Green Lantern named Rodriguez?"
"In fact, he originally wanted to report with me, but the situation where he is is not optimistic. He can't get away now, so he can only ask me to ask for support."
"What kind of place is he trapped in that allows him to use up the energy of the ring thousands of times in two days???" The adjutant was simply puzzled.
"This is exactly the purpose of my coming here." Hal's face became more and more serious, and he said: "I know, you may be wondering if there is any conspiracy in this, thinking that we are stealing the green light through some cheating means.
energy of."
"However, the people on earth's pursuit of justice will never be changed by this speculation. In order to prove that we have indeed used this power in the right direction, I hope to bring back a team to support my friend Rodri
Gus, we also prove to you that we have never abused the energy of the green light."
Hal's frank attitude made several people hesitate. They had imagined many of Hal's attitudes, but they didn't expect that he really came to seek support, and he also hoped to let other Green Lanterns
Go to Earth to help.
"How many people do you want to bring back?"
Hal pretended to think for a moment, and then gave Schler the predetermined answer. He said: "I hope it will be more than 5 people, but the more, the better."
The adjutant opened his eyes wide and said, "So many, is it really necessary?"
"My companion Schiller used up the energy of the ring thousands of times in two days. This is the most powerful evidence. He can't lose his power out of thin air, right?"
Hal spread his hands and explained very sincerely: "Even if I am a novice Green Lantern, I also know that the safety lock on the ring is very complete. These energy must have been consumed, and so much can be consumed.
Where the energy is, less than a squad of Green Lanterns could be in danger."
The adjutant nodded when he heard this. What Hal said was indeed reasonable. He was more confident in the safety lock on the Green Lantern ring. This Green Lantern named Schiller must have been in an extremely dangerous situation.
It will repeatedly consume the energy in the ring.
At this time, the legion commander waved his hand and said: "We don't have many people left at the headquarters. Most of them are novices who have just completed their training. So, Carol..."
The legion commander turned to look at his adjutant and said: "Take the five people from the second team and go to the Earth with Hal to have a look. If it is really that dangerous, send me a signal at any time and I will send people to support you.
"…
Carol didn't say anything, just saluted, then walked towards Hal and said, "Let's go, Green Lantern is not afraid of any danger, peace and justice are our lifelong pursuit."
Hal saluted him, and both of them saw a determined look in each other's eyes.
Just as the Green Lanterns gathered their personnel, inspected the rings, and prepared to leave for this unknown place on Earth, the chaos in Arkham Psychiatric Hospital escalated to a new level.
Somewhat strangely, the gunfire in the hospital gradually weakened, and the gang war was basically over.
However, Gotham locals all know a rule. The most dangerous time in the streets of Gotham is not when the firefight with bullets and bullets is in progress, but when the firefight comes to an end, everyone counts the losses, and the bosses of all parties sit down to negotiate.
when.
In the corridor on the third floor of the psychiatric hospital, steady footsteps suddenly sounded. In front of an office door, a hand wearing white gloves knocked lightly on the door.
After the door opened, the gang leaders in the room saw Alberto in a suit and tie standing outside the door, staring expressionlessly at the situation in the room.
The gangster closest to the door moved a chair over, but Alberto had no intention of sitting down. He walked to the center of the room, looked at the gang leader who was making a fuss just now, and said:
"Do you know that the hospital that you just destroyed beyond recognition with automatic machine guns and rocket launchers is where I will be doing my internship in the next two years?"
