Chapter 414: Hal's Bad Luck (Part 2)

"How can I stay calm?! I'm glowing! And it's green!" Dick shouted back at him.

He was clearly bewildered by the situation and, like a real kid, he said, "Oh my God! I can't believe it. How am I going to go to school tomorrow? How am I going to explain to the teacher that I'm going to go to school tomorrow?" Will I shine overnight?"

As he spoke, he said a little dejectedly: "The management of our school is very strict. We must have traditional hair colors. We are not even allowed to dye our hair. If the teacher sees that not only my hair has turned green, but also my whole body has turned green." If she chooses green, she will be so angry that she will find her parents!”

Hal was speechless. Obviously, he had no experience in raising children and didn't know how to deal with Dick's realistic but somewhat too realistic logic.

"Also, I am going to visit my biological parents at the end of this month. They are very old-school people. They even only use dark green for Christmas. How can I explain that I suddenly become more than a Christmas elf? Still green?"

Hal stared at the ceiling of Wayne Manor. When he first obtained this ability, he once thought about how great it would be if he could obtain this ability earlier. But now, he found that teenagers are thinking about this world. The greatest mystery in the world.

Dick didn't seem to care about this magical teleportation ability, nor did he care about whether he could control this powerful power. He only cared about the green light all over his body.

At this moment, Hal, who was deeply involved in this kind of trouble, suddenly had some other thoughts.

Is he really sober?

After an ordinary person obtains the green light ring, he should indeed be confused by the strange appearance of his ability to activate, but Hal found that he did not seem to have this feeling at all.

Even if he caused a traffic jam because he was too much like a green light in a traffic light, he still had no doubts about it.

At this moment, Hal suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Just like the sense of horror that all humans experience when they discover that they may be controlled by something, Hal suddenly broke away from the green light ring due to an accident. Er, he discovered too many anomalies that he had not noticed before.

Thinking back to what Alfred had said to him before, cold sweat soaked his back, and the thick bomber jacket couldn't make him feel warm.

What on earth is he doing? Got the power of aliens and reported the information here to aliens? Was he bribed or controlled?

There is no doubt that even the fledgling Hal is a good person with quite correct views, and his strong will makes him not afraid to admit his mistakes and immediately find ways to redeem himself.

He moved his body hard, turned his chair back, looked at Batman and said, "The problem may be more serious than we thought."

"Indeed, if you can't give a plan for Dick to recover, then..."

"No, that's not what I mean!" Hal interrupted Batman. Batman was rarely interrupted like this. He looked at Hal silently, but Hal said to himself: "I think this There are some problems."

He sighed and said: "As you know, I accidentally obtained a green light ring that gave me magical abilities. The person who gave this ring to me was an alien who died when the spacecraft crashed. Starman, he told me about the existence of the Green Lantern Corps."

"Then, the power of the ring put me in touch with the Green Lantern Corps, and they told me the history of the Corps. I was deeply moved and honored to be a part of such a team."

"The first official mission I received was to go to Gotham to investigate the Yellow Light. You all know what happened next."

"And the second task I received was to monitor the movements of the members of the Yellow Lantern Corps."

"In the information I received, the Yellow Lantern Corps was described as a very terrifying existence. They would interfere with the work of the Green Lanterns and bring destruction and fear to the universe."

"The terrifying monster I saw in the dream world proves this, which makes me even more convinced that the Green Lantern Corps is determined to maintain peace and tranquility in the universe."

"But, I don't know..." Hal showed a little hesitation and said, "I may have leaked too much information to this mysterious Green Lantern Corps. I didn't even go to their headquarters, I just contacted them remotely. …”

"I am eager to complete the mission and feel that I should report the cause and effect of this incident to prevent the evil members of the Yellow Lantern Corps from causing any harm to the earth, so..."

When Hal looked up, he saw Batman squinting his eyes. For some reason, Hal had a bad feeling when he saw this expression.

"Why do you think the safety of the earth should be left to outsiders to protect?" Batman asked a very fatal question, and Hal was speechless.

"Did they tell you the true origin of the Green Lantern Ring?" Batman asked another question, but Hal still couldn't answer. He said:

"I heard that it was the first race born in the universe and created this army to maintain the peace of the universe..."

"In other words, it is still created by intelligent creatures. It has leaders, division of labor, different departments, bases, and various members..."

Batman crossed his arms and asked: "How do you ensure that the information you upload will not be seen by people who should not see him? How do you ensure that the leadership of this team has no ill intentions towards the earth?"

Hal shook his head, and Batman looked into his eyes and asked him: "Do you not want to answer, or do you simply don't know? I hope it's the former."

Hal felt that his lips were a little dry. He pursed his lips and said in a low tone: "...I don't know."

"You joined a company rashly without fully understanding the nature, scale, personnel structure, and operating system of a company, and uploaded all your personal data, your family's, neighbors', and streets' data to their network..."

As Batman's tone became deeper and deeper, Hal's bad premonition became stronger and stronger. But at this moment, Alfred suddenly spoke up. He said, "Grandpa, what happened to your university just now?" Professor Rodriguez called to ask about the situation here."

"He said he heard Elsa scream and expressed concern, and he said he would wait by the phone until he was sure the situation here was safe, I guess, in order not to keep your respected professor up all night. , you'd better call him back now..."

The air pressure around Batman was extremely low, but after hearing Alfred's words, he remained silent for a while, then turned and walked towards the phone table.

As soon as the call was connected, Schiller's voice rang over there: "I guess you have caught Hal by now and are questioning him about the Green Lantern Corps, right?"

"I didn't 'catch' him, and I wasn't 'questioning' him." Batman immediately denied Schiller's words, and Schiller immediately said: "Well, I think you should have asked Green Lantern by now. He sat on a certain chair and secured him with some security measures."

"Then while chatting with him, I unexpectedly obtained some information about the Green Lantern Corps."

"What do you think of the Green Lantern Corps?" Schiller asked him.

"A group of aliens with evil intentions who may pose a threat to the earth at any time and have already developed spies on the earth."

"As expected." Schiller said to the other end of the phone: "First of all, I have no idea why Hal appeared in Wayne Manor. Secondly, if you want to investigate the Green Lantern Corps, there is a best way. , that’s starting from the green light ring.”

"Remember the box I gave you last time? You should already know what's in it..."

After Batman put down the phone, he felt a little calmer. Taking any violent measures against Hal now would not be conducive to the development of the situation. The most important thing was to deal with Dick's situation first.

While Batman was on the phone, Hal was still communicating with Dick, but the two of them were more like chickens and ducks.

Hal kept emphasizing that Dick should learn to calm down and learn to control his power, but Dick was panicked in the face of this unusual state, and the two of them were not on the same page at all.

When Batman came back, Hal sighed and said: "Although I admit that I am not a good teacher, I don't know how to teach a teenage child to use the power of will. When I was ten years old, I said Maybe I can’t even spell the word will correctly.”

"I feel like I can't teach him, but I don't know who else can teach him. If I want to teach him to control this power, I should at least have control of it myself."

"However, the Green Lantern Corps' criteria are very strict. Only one in a billion people can meet the requirements. Where can I find another Green Lantern?"

"Green Gourd Sword Fairy"

Batman stared at him silently, and Hal saw the look in his eyes, and he said: "...No, there is no way, and why don't you understand? The green light requires very harsh willpower, which is not something ordinary people can achieve. Got it.”

Seeing Batman staring at him, Hal could only explain: "Well, if there is a trick, you have to concentrate and show your willpower..."

"Although I got this ring from another alien, it took me a long time to get the green light approval..."

Just then, a familiar green light slipped through the window, Hal's eyes widened, and a ring with a faint green light stopped quietly between him and Batman.

Hearing the all-too-familiar oath of the Green Lantern Corps, Hal opened his mouth wide and said in surprise: "Wait a minute, I know the Green Lantern ring will be reissued, but I haven't reported the damage yet, so why..."

As soon as he said this, the ring emitting green light flew towards Batman, and kept rubbing against Batman like a pet dog waiting for its owner to pet him.

Just when Hal was surprised, something even more shocking happened. Batman slowly opened his mouth and said, "I refuse."

The green light ring stopped in mid-air, and then slowly floated out of the window of Wayne Manor at an extremely slow speed, turning back three times in one step. Unfortunately, Batman did not regret it in the end.

"I'm just trying to see if this actually works."

Hal coughed a few times and said: "The opportunity to be selected by the Lantern Ring is very precious. There may not be many people like this in the world, so you just..."

Just as Hal was speaking, Batman left the hall. After a while, he came back with a box in his hands and sat on the sofa. As Hal watched, he opened the box.

A soft sound of "crash" came——

A pile of lamp rings was dumped on the table.
