"Wait, but ......"

In an apartment in Seaside City, a man in a bomber jacket is talking to himself, pacing the room cross-legged, saying, "I know, I know, my duty, but ......"

"Well, if things really go the way you say, then I'll go over there, but I think you're making a bit of a fuss."

"When I first joined the Green Lantern Legion, you told me that the Green Lantern Legion is the most powerful of all the Light Legions, and I felt it, and I don't quite understand what makes you so nervous......"

“…… Well, if you have to do this, I won't object to it, after all, the earth is also my hometown, and it is my responsibility to protect it. ”

"Do you have a specific location for that yellow light? I was sleeping just now and I didn't feel anything unusual. ”

The man scratched his hair, his brown hair was a little messy, as he said, he had just woken up, and he was a little sleepy-eyed.

"What? Gotham? How could it be in that hellish place? All right...... It's no wonder, what do you say the yellow light represents? Oh, the fear, the environment is frightening enough. ”

"I'll use the teleport to take a look at it now, and if it's really as serious as you say, then I'll take care of it as soon as possible."

"Listen, right now, I, Hal Jordan, am the only Green Lantern on Earth, I can't disgrace my hometown, if I ask for support before the fight starts, it will seriously lower my image in the Lantern Corps, right?"

"Oh yes, I know, you're kind, and I know that the Yellow Lantern you said might be difficult to deal with, but you have to trust me, trust my willpower, and I've been doing pretty well in the days I've been Green Lantern, right?"

The man who called himself Hal crossed his waist and said, "You know, not all earthlings have the receptivity and willpower I have, although I have only been receiving the power of the lamp ring for a long time, but I think I still have no problem dealing with these troubles on the earth......"

After a while, he sighed, then touched the pet dog under his feet and said, "I'm sorry, it seems that I can only take you out for a walk later, I have something to deal with, but you have to trust me, I'll be back soon......"

As he spoke, a green light flashed, and Hal's figure disappeared, but he reappeared not directly in Gotham, but on a highway in Brudonhaven, he stood on the highway and looked at the sky, and said in confusion: "...... What's wrong? Am I lost? ”

Bloomhaven's climate was very good, the weather was clear, so even during the day, he could see the stars through the sky, and Hal judged the direction and realized that he should be right.

If he had teleported here in a normal direction, he would have stopped right under the sign at the entrance to Gotham, and now there was a straight road and nothing.

And what about a big city?

Hale spun around twice in confusion, he thought, maybe there was a problem with the direction of the stars, it was not impossible, after all, every ring descends, there will be some vision, so he teleported to Brughhaven again, and then bought a nearby tourist map.

Walking along the tourist map to Gotham, Hal didn't find it troublesome, because he was now a lantern man who inherited the green light ring, and he had no problems with physical strength, and he could walk quickly, and Brughhaven and Gotham were not far apart.

But the more he took the map, the more confused he became, and he put it in front of his eyes and said, "Hell, isn't it written here?" Just walk here and cross the pine forest on your right hand to see Wayne Tower, the tallest building in Gotham...... What about the building??? ”

Crossing the pine forest planted on the side of the road on the right, Hal didn't see anything, but there was a vague smell of alcohol in the air, which Hal thought was the smell of alcohol left over from someone else's camping party, and didn't care.

He continued to walk on, a long distance, before he finally saw a sign.

And what made Hal a little strange was that there was a man standing under the sign, still holding an umbrella in his hand, Hal walked over and asked him, "Hello, I want to go to Gotham, do you want to go all the way down this road?" ”

The man shook his head and asked, "Are you Hal ?" Hal Jordan? ”

"You know me?"

"I don't just know you, I know who you are, you're a pilot, and you're the owner of the Green Lantern Ring, a Green Lantern, right?"

When he heard the first half of his sentence, Hal was already very puzzled, he was not a big star, it was impossible for any ordinary person to know him, and when he heard the second half of the sentence, he narrowed his eyes, looked at the man and said, "Who are you?" Why do you know about the green light? ”

"Do you remember that not long after you got the Green Lantern Ring, you made a post on an alien-related forum, and only one person replied to that post, and that was me......"

"You're the one...... OMG! I've sent you so many messages, why don't you reply to me?! ”

Howl's tone was shocked at first, then turned into complaining.

Schiller sighed and said to him, "I can explain this later, but now there is a big trouble that you may need to deal with." ”

"Big trouble? What's the big trouble? Why are you here? What the hell is going on? ”

Hal was in a state full of question marks, but Schiller did not intend to answer his series of questions, but said to Hal: "Aren't you going to Gotham?" I'm sorry to tell you that you won't get to Gotham if you keep going down this road. ”

"Impossible." Hal outright denied this claim.

"The map says that if you see the traffic signs and move forward, you will be able to reach Gotham......"

You can try.

Haier stretched out a hand and waved, then made a running gesture, and disappeared with a "whoosh", and then "swished" again, and rushed to the sign from the other end.

Looking at Schiller and the sign that appeared in front of him again, Hal was confused, but Schiller said: "It's true that the earth is round, but I don't think your speed is too fast, so fast to circle the earth, right?" ”

No matter how light Hal was, he knew that things had changed, and his face gradually became serious, and he asked Schiller, "What the hell is going on?" You'd better give me a reasonable explanation. ”

"Give up all your illusions about 'reasonable'." Schiller stepped over the guardrail of the road, walked to the sign on the side of the road, and said to Hal, "Because you are in a dream now." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Hal saw that the pillar supporting the traffic sign grew bigger and bigger in line of sight, until it became an incomparably large Tower of Babel, which sat on a charred black earth, Hal raised his head, opened his mouth, and said, "What is this?" ”

"Come with me first, and I'll explain everything to you." Schiller walked forward with Hal, Hal's brown eyes were full of doubt, and he chased after Schiller and asked, "Where is this?" Is it the illusion you created? Who are you? Does it have anything to do with yellow lights? ”

Schiller sighed and said, "I won't explain to you what happened before, let's start with the yellow light coming." ”

"You know the yellow light has come? Oh yes, you're not an ordinary person, but I've never heard of a lantern ring that can turn a city into nothing. ”

"Because it's not the lamp ring that turns the city into a ring, it's me."

"No kidding." Howl's tone was filled with disbelief.

"That's Gotham! How could you possibly disappear one of the largest cities on the entire East Coast in an instant, and how much panic would that create? Why didn't I see it on the news? ”

"Gotham doesn't disappear in the real world, you can't see it because the moment you set foot on that road, you're already asleep."

"As for why I did it, it's because I have a certain responsibility......"

Schiller sighed again, he sighed more today than in all the previous months combined, for there was something he had done more than he had expected.

He and Jack's original plan was to go deep into Batman's consciousness, and then dig out the possible danger and kill it, although the process is very complicated, but the goal is very clear, in short, it is to stifle all the possibility of the appearance of the laughing bat.

In the process, Schiller meets the clown and kills the clown, meets the bat and kills the bat, in short, as long as he can prevent the extremely annoying laughing bat from appearing in his life, he will do whatever it takes.

In the first two stories near the end, everything goes very well, and they make it to the edge of Batman's dream, then find the embryo that might hatch into a maniacal laugh, and nearly kill him.

But what is unexpected is that this stimulation caused the dark current in Batman's heart to flood out, and in an unprecedented rage, it poured out of his soul and rushed into the universe.

This purest fear force in the entire universe will of course attract the attention of an existence, that is, the Yellow Lantern Ring, or the attention of the Yellow Lantern Beast "Parallax Monster", the representative of the fear power in the emotional spectrum.

All the color lantern beasts in this universe are very powerful existences, and the same is true for parallax monsters.

But in the same way, the parallax monster is also a master who has eaten and seen, and ordinary fear power is not enough to attract his attention, but the problem is that the fear power in Batman's heart is almost the purest fear power in all the universe origins of the entire DC, and for the parallax monster, this is simply an irresistible temptation.

So, along with the arrival of the Yellow Lantern Ring, there is also a terrifying monster, that is, the Yellow Lantern Beast Parallax Monster.

"Parallax?" Hal asked suspiciously, he said: "I once heard from the seniors in the legion that every lantern group will have a lamp stove and a lamp beast, and they have mentioned that the lamp beasts produced by each emotion are very powerful, but in the same way, they will not come easily......

"You're saying that in this city, someone's power of fear has triggered the arrival of the Yellow Lantern Beast? It's a bit of a problem......" Hal's expression grew more serious, and it was clear that he realized the seriousness of the problem.

"I didn't expect that either, because according to the timeline, it's impossible, because you've only just ......," Schiller said, turning his head to Hal.

The reason why he didn't worry about the Yellow Lantern Ring was because if according to the normal timeline, at this time, Hal had just become a Lantern Hero, then Senisto, the founder of the Yellow Lantern Legion, should still be the Green Lantern, and the two of them hadn't fallen out, then Senisto would not have betrayed the Green Lantern Legion, and he would not have created the Yellow Lantern Ring.

At that time when the black tide was rising, Schiller didn't think about the question of the emotional spectrum at all, he thought that the category of fear did not exist in the current light ring in the universe, but who knows, the yellow light ring came like this.

Schiller reflected on it, this universe has changed enough, and it is not impossible for the Yellow Lantern Legion to appear in advance.

"But you still haven't said, what happened to Gotham? Where is this again? ”

"Don't worry, I'm about to talk about this......"

"The arrival of the Yellow Lantern Ring and the Yellow Lantern Beast is not the biggest danger, the biggest danger is that the host that the Yellow Lantern Ring and the Lantern Beast want to parasitize is that there is a chased outlaw fleeing in the body...... Ovum. ”

"Egg, what's that?"

"I'm not trying to scare you, but I have to tell you that it's an existence that won't be enough for him to fight alone if all your lights are tied together."

As soon as Hal tried to refute, Schiller continued: "But fortunately, he is indeed only an embryo now, and has been greatly weakened, and is only one line away from death. ”

"But at this moment, the yellow lantern ring and the lantern beast came, one desperately wanted to run out, the other desperately wanted to squeeze in, guess who won in the end?"

"Well, it's supposed to be a lamp beast, right?"

"No, they all lost, and Batman win, and now, he has both the laughing egg and the yellow lantern beast."

Schiller explained again: "Originally, Batman could have refused the Yellow Lantern Ring of his own volition, but the almost dying egg in his body saw the only way to live. ”

And so. He took advantage of Batman's attention to the Yellow Lantern Beast, controlled his consciousness space, accepted the Yellow Lantern Ring, and the Yellow Lantern Beast followed the Yellow Lantern Ring to Batman's body, and now, they are one. ”

As Schiller spoke, the two walked into the Tower of Babel, and then, in a moment of light and shadow, Hal found himself on top of a tall building, and he looked down at the entire Gotham City underfoot.

When he finally arrived in Gotham, there was no joy in his heart, because he looked up and saw an indescribable monster standing above Gotham.

He has a yellow centipede-like lower body, a pitch-black upper body with a bat pattern, and a head with no eyes, no other facial features, and a large red mouth.

At this time, Schiller's voice rang out:

"The Yellow Lantern Ring, the Parallax Monster, Batman, and the Laughing Egg all rolled together, and I call it ......"

"Laughing at the Fear."
