The moment Schiller's words fell, everyone was enveloped in gray mist, and the first to disappear was Gordon, who was in a trance for a moment and found himself in a magical place, with a black and gold floor under his feet and endless floors above him.

In front of him stood two Schillers, one of whom was the one he knew, and the other was the green-haired Schiller, and next to these two stood another green-haired man with clown makeup.

"You're going to make him the first?" Jack the Clown circled around Gordon twice, slurred his lips and said, "Well, this kind of person looks like the opposite of Batman, and at all times, he is determined to be ridiculously good and ......."

Schiller ignored Jack and explained to a somewhat dazed Gordon: "At present, the consciousness power of all of us combined is not enough to completely destroy this monster. ”

"One is because the egg that opened its mouth and laughed may have very special attributes, if the personality is not high enough, it will be difficult to completely eliminate it, and the other is that the parallax monster, as one of the sources of the power of the yellow lantern ring, is itself difficult to be eliminated."

"And what are you going to do?" Gordon looked at Schiller, then looked around again, and said, "Looks like you already have an idea?" ”

"That's right, the tower you see is actually my temple of thought, and just now, I transformed it to become an 'amplifier'."

"Amp? What is it used to amplify? Gordon asked, confused.

"Emotion." Schiller gave a clear answer, saying: "There are various spectrums of emotions in the universe, and when one of them reaches its peak, it attracts a mysterious force, and that is the lamp ring." ”

"I will use this tower to amplify your emotions infinitely, and then send them into the universe to actively attract the Lantern Ring so that you can fight with the power of the Lantern Ring."

"Okay, but why me?"

"Different lamp rings also represent different emotions, and only people with this emotional trait can attract the arrival of lamp rings."

"Although my mind can greatly amplify a certain emotion, I am still born with a certain strong emotion, and it will be easier to succeed."

"And you, Detective Gordon, please focus now and think back to the scenes of light and hope in your heart......"

Gordon was still a little confused, but he did so, and scene after scene began to appear in his mind.

He worked day after day in this desperate city, returning home exhausted in the dark of night, driven away, verbally abused, and even hunted down.

He remembered the scene when he had been hunted down, and on that rainy night, he ran for his life, and the pain and the smell of blood came up together, and he tried everything to get rid of the murderer, jumped from the window, and then fell into the garbage heap, and the cold rain slapped on his face.

But his heart swelled with infinite determination and determination, even if there was only one person left in the city who really wanted to save it, it would definitely be him, it would definitely be Gordon.

A strong emotion of hope ran down the tower of thought into the universe, and soon, a hazy voice sounded in Gordon's ears, as muffled and indistinct as a thick wall separated by a layer.

"Fear the day, pan the night,

The blazing fire retreated,

All are lost in the war,

Look up at the stars –

The light of hope will never be extinguished! ”

"Intelligent beings have been locked, from James Gordon of Earth, you have the ability to instill unwavering hope in others, welcome to the Blue Lantern Army!"

Schiller turned his head to look at the walls of the temple of thought, as if he had looked beyond the walls and dreams into reality.

In reality, there is a ring that glows blue, floating silently above the sleeping Gordon's head.

The blue lantern ring, which represents hope, was attracted by the enlarged version of the hope mood, but as soon as it arrived, it was a little confused.

It can feel that the consciousness of its future host is immersed in dreams, but if the host does not wake up, how will it accept the lamp ring?

If the host does not take the initiative to accept the power of the Lantern Ring, then the Lantern Ring will not be able to recognize the owner, just like in the original comics, Batman lives or dies without the Lantern Ring, and there is nothing the Lantern Ring can do with him.

But you say, it's all here, can it just go back? The ring that glowed blue hesitated for a moment, then intent to move closer to the host's consciousness.

However, the ring was a tangible thing, and it could not be integrated into Gordon's body, so the blue light gradually withdrew from the ring, and then burrowed into Gordon's forehead, and the ring that had lost its power fell to the ground with a "click".

Only the energy of the blue light entered Gordon's body, but the main ring did not enter, because it was drained of power, and it was on standby after running out of power.

When the crisp "pop" sound sounded, in the consciousness space, a blue lamp ring appeared in front of Gordon, Gordon looked at the ring and said, "This is the lamp ring you are talking about?" Should I bring it with me? ”

"Of course, Detective Gordon, but don't let this power dominate."

"Rest assured, I understand, I've never been a fan of being overly dependent on external objects." With that, Gordon reached out his hand, and the blue light flew above his fingers.

When Gordon came out of the Tower of Babel, he had completely changed, his body flashed with blue light, and Hal looked at him dumbfounded, "Is that the power of the Lantern Ring?" Blue Lantern Ring?? How do you have the power of the Blue Lantern Ring??? ”

Before he could finish his doubts, Victor disappeared into space again, apparently entering the Tower of Babel as well.

"This one is a bit of a hassle, because perhaps, the purple lantern ring, which represents 'love,' is only for women......," Schiller said to Victor.

"On what basis is this determined? The human soul? So if I'm a woman at heart......"

"Don't say it, you think of yourself as a transgender person, it will never dare not come!"

After a while, a distant voice came:

"Frightened and confused, two hearts are connected,

It's hard to sleep alone in the darkest night,

Fingers into the ring for your face,

The world is lonely and loves purple light! ”

"Intelligent beings have been locked, Victor Fries from Earth, you have deep love in your heart, welcome to join the Star Blue Stone!"

After a while, Victor, who was covered in purple light, appeared in the consciousness space, and he and Gordon looked at each other, and then looked at Hal next to him at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, Alberto disappeared, and soon, a deep voice of anger sounded:

"Hot blood scarlet rage,

Taken from the bones of the unchilled corpse,

Deep hatred and hatred cook in the heart,

Cast your generation of Huangquan Road! ”

"Intelligent life has been locked, Alberto Falcone from Earth, your heart is swelling with raging, you belong to the Red Lantern Army!"

And when Alberto, who was covered in red light, came out, one green, one blue and one purple was no longer strange.

The last person to be called in was Copote, who had the illusion of being called to the teacher's office after class, and when he entered, Schiller explained to him how to attract the lamp ring, and then said to him, "I think the orange light is a good fit for you, because it represents greed." ”

"Greed? For what is greedy? ”

"That's up to you." Schiller stared at Copote, looked him in the eye and said, "You don't want to get endless ...... Power? ”

Two minutes later, a glowing orange walked out, and everyone on the field was now covered in colored light except for Batman.

Looking at the colorful other lantern men in front of him, Hal understood the sentence Schiller asked, "Are you the only one on earth?" ".

There is indeed more than one lightman on Earth......

There are five Lamp Men here!!!

"Stop watching, get to work."

In an instant, colorful figures rushed towards the Fear Laughing Demon.

The strength of the people blessed by the Lantern Ring has become stronger, and more importantly, they can use the emotional power of the Lantern Ring to attack the Fear Laughing Demon, which is very important, because in the dream world, emotions are still a very powerful force.

And Batman, who does not have the power of the Lantern Ring, is not left behind at all, on the one hand, because this is his consciousness space, and on the other hand, because his willpower is enough to overshadow all emotions.

Suddenly, Batman stopped moving, and the voice echoed in everyone's ears: "Stop. ”

The others were a little confused, but they all stopped, and they floated in the air. Looking at the monster in the center, Batman narrowed his eyes and said, "That egg is moving, it looks like it's about to hatch......"

"Incubation?"

Several people looked at the head of the huge monster, and at some point, some hideous blood vessels appeared on the gray egg, as if it was about to explode, and the grinning grin became more and more weird, and even some blood-like traces flowed down from the corners of the mouth, and the whole head became more and more terrifying.

"It's been sucking up those black tides." Batman said in a deep voice, "It was a force I couldn't control, but now it looks like it can be its nourishment." ”

"Can't let it hatch!"

Hal said, "The mysterious man who brought me into my dreams told me that if he appeared, he would destroy the whole group of lights!" Even if he exaggerates, we can't let this horrible monster out......"

"I know this better than you do."

As he spoke, Batman's figure came to the sky above the monster, and he wanted to touch the egg directly, but was thrown away by the long tail of the parallax monster, Hal: "It may have controlled the parallax monster, we must stop it!" Hurry up! ”

Several people who have gained the power of the Lantern Ring are constantly surrounding the monster, but the blind monster in the operation of the Laughing Egg is not only powerful, but also very cautious, and all actions are to protect their heads.

Without the three-way confrontation, the laughing egg and the parallax monster became one, and the truly terrifying side of this monster was revealed, and endless fear began to rise in the hearts of everyone, and wave after wave of black tides washed over, and a large number of tides were there. It's all absorbed by that egg.

There was a slight "click", and several cracks appeared on the top of the laughing egg, followed by a branch-like pattern, and the eggshell shattered to such an extent that everyone knew that its hatching was irreversible.

A suffocating tension rose in Batman's mind, and his instincts were at its peak, and he could barely move, just standing there watching the egg burst open, as if time had frozen.

At that moment, the eggshell cracked, and a pale, thin hand stretched out from the egg.

There was no sound, no movement, but everyone heard the most crazy laughter from the silence: "Hahahahahahaha ”

But what followed was not a monster that broke out of the shell, but a familiar and slightly indifferent voice.

"Don't laugh, it's so ugly."

Suddenly, the colorful glow that appeared on everyone's body trembled, and a thick gray mist enveloped it, and all kinds of glow were pulled out of everyone's body and kneaded into the endless gray mist.

The completely irreconcilable spectrum of colors struggled incessantly, turning the world upside down in a gray mist, clashing, exploding, rubbing, shattering, merging......

Eventually, in the gray mist floating in mid-air, a variety of colors were mixed together, and it was neither black nor white, but a chaotic gray.

In the endless silence, suddenly, the gray mist began to condense and form, gradually forming a circular lamp furnace.

A loud dragon groan rang out, and a dragon's head poked out of the mist, followed by a scaly neck and wings, and an incomparably large dragon made of gray mist flew out of the gray lamp furnace that emitted energy.

A deep and distant voice came from the sky:

"The soup of ash, the vastness of the mist,

Where is the reality, where is the dream,

The pillar of thought, the hall of the heart,

Thousands of stars shine together, and thousands of flowers shine! ”

"Intelligent life is locked, from ......"

"Forget it, the words that follow are too long, in short-"

"Batman, go on."
