Wearing a bomber jacket, a thick scarf, earmuffs, gloves, and cotton boots, Hal was walking down the streets of Gotham, and he sighed silently as he looked at the dead trees on both sides of the road that had fallen leaves and looked a little bleak.

To be honest, he is a little guilty now, Hal is a good person, although the experience of the first half of his life was not too smooth, and the test pilot career he originally dreamed of became a ground logistics because of the opposition of his family, but he never wanted to give up, and was finally chosen by the green light that represents a firm will.

After becoming Green Lantern, he tried his best to punish evil and promote good, and did his best to maintain peace, but just a few days after he arrived in Gotham, he caused the largest traffic jam in Gotham's history.

The chaos caused by his landing on the traffic lamppost was far bigger than it looked, and there was a triple-digit crash on the entire central turntable, not to mention that there were so many cars to be towed that the towing company was not busy until nightfall, and that very night, the biggest blizzard in Gotham's history fell.

Due to the fact that the ground in Gotham is now full of ice, the temperature has plummeted, and this snow has been falling for a few days and nights, and it did not stop until last night.

Hal originally wanted to show his identity as Green Lantern and use his superpowers to maintain traffic, but looking at the traffic policemen carrying bazookas and machine guns on the streets, he felt that his deterrent power was not enough.

He couldn't understand this strange city, he couldn't understand everything here, he felt that he couldn't fit in here at all, originally, Hal had planned to leave, but the guilt in his heart had been bothering him, so he hesitated for a long time and didn't leave.

It wasn't until last night that he suddenly received a letter from Schiller, who said that the battle against the Fear Laugher that day had been a great success, so he wanted to invite a few of the people who participated in the battle that day to his house.

Thinking about that battle, Hal still felt like he was dreaming, he never thought he would face such a terrible monster, but after defeating that monster, he did have a transcendent sense of accomplishment.

Since it was a celebration banquet organized by Schiller, Hal felt that he could go there, after all, he also contributed.

Hal put his hands in the pockets of his bomber jacket and walked forward with his head down and kicking the pebbles in the road, when a series of "jingle bells" came from behind him, and a newsboy on a bicycle passed by him.

Hal's eyes widened, and the newsboy turned around and grimaced at him with a smile, and just as Hal shook his fist to express his anger, another large group of newsboys, hula and bicycle, passed by him.

Hal choked on the snowflakes and smoke he had brought up, and he stretched out his hand and waved it vigorously in front of his face, and when he took a few steps further, he saw a small mailbox with a small wooden sign on it that read "House Rodriguez".

Hal walked over and shook the bell on it, and soon a butler in a proper suit, white shirt, white gloves, and bow tie walked out, and Hal rubbed his hands in some embarrassment, he had never enjoyed such a noble service.

Merkel smiled and nodded, opening the door to the manor for him, and when Hal first entered the living room, he saw that there were already three people waiting for him, except for Schiller, the remaining two were Victor and Gordon.

Victor was holding a glass of water and teaching Dick a simple physics lesson to Dick, who was sitting next to him, when Schiller hugged Aisha and patted her on the back to let her go of her cane.

Harvey saw Aisha's unusual teeth at first glance, before, he was indeed following Aisha, but in order not to be discovered, he was far away, outside Wayne Manor, Aisha did not open her mouth often, so Hal did not see the shape of her teeth.

This kind of shark-like teeth, even if it is placed on a little girl's body, it looks a little terrifying, not to mention that Aisha's teeth are like wood shredder......

"Hey, Aisha, don't do that!" Dick jumped off the couch to stop her, Aisha "poop" a few times and spit out the wood dregs in her mouth, Schiller saw Hal come in, he stood up, walked up and shook his hand, and said, "Hello, how are you doing?" ”

"Uh...... OK. Hal was all focused on Aisha, so the answer was a little perfunctory, Schiller looked at his expression, followed his gaze, turned to look at Aisha who was tossing and turning on the sofa, and said, "Very lively little girl, right?" ”

"It depends on how you define the word 'lively.'" Hal said with some embarrassment.

Schiller smiled, looked at Aisha and said, "Liveliness is the opposite of her father, I can't believe that Bruce has such a lively and lovely daughter." ”

Hal pursed his lips and said, "We all know that it's not his ......"

Just as he said this, he felt an unexplained chill behind him, and Hal nervously turned his head, but saw nothing.

Soon, the candles were lit, the lights in the manor were lit, and the silver and glass vessels were illuminated by the light, and there was a clear "pop", and several glasses touched together, and the liquor of different colors rippled from the mouth of the glass, like churning waves.

"It's been a while since we've been together like this...... Gordon said first, moving slightly to make way for the butler who poured the wine, and then adding, "It's a pity that several people can't come because of all sorts of things." ”

"It's okay, we have new friends." Schiller raised his glass and raised it towards Hal, who also raised his glass to greet him, who took a sip of his wine and said, "I haven't introduced myself before, but you should know that my name is Hal, Hal Jordan." ”

"A well-known surname, the Jordan of the Bulls has been in the limelight lately." Victor chimed in.

Hal shook his head with a smile and said, "Just because of his red and purple color, people often ask me if I have any relationship with him lately, and God, I haven't been to Chicago at all." ”

Hal continued: "I started as a test pilot, but then I moved to ground staff and now work at an air base in Seaside City. ”

Then, he held out his hand. Revealing his green light ring, he said, "As you saw before, I am a Green Lantern of the Green Lantern Legion, also known as the Emerald Knight. ”

"I've wanted to ask for a long time, what exactly is the Green Lantern Corps?" Gordon asked, a little confused.

"You can understand it as an organization that maintains the peace of the universe, they divide the universe into various sectors, and then send Green Lantern to guard these sectors, I am a Green Lantern in the sector where the earth is located, mainly responsible for protecting the safety of the earth."

Hal briefly introduced the history and code of conduct of the Green Lantern Corps to several people, and Gordon's frown gradually relaxed a little, and he said: "You should know how much trouble you caused in the center of Gotham, and those gang bosses are still asking me what the green light is all about." ”

Hal gave a somewhat guilty expression, he tilted the corners of his mouth down, and said, "And what did you say?" ”

"Originally, I wanted to tell them that there was a glowing super human who landed on a traffic lamppost and caused this accident, but ......"

Gordon looked at Schiller, who put down the cutlery, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said, "I suggest he'd better not do it, because in other cities, this explanation might be taken as a fantasy, and as a ridiculous excuse for the police department to shirk their responsibilities." ”

"But this is Gotham, there's nothing to believe here, they're all angry, and if Gordon says that, they'll dig deep to find you."

Schiller shook his head, looked at Hal, and said, "Believe me, even if you have superpowers, once you get stuck in the quagmire of Gotham, you may not even have a chance to escape." ”

Hearing this, Hal felt the temperature around him drop a little, he shivered, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, the spicy wine made him warm up a little, he looked at Schiller, raised the wine glass with some gratitude and said: "Thank you, professor, thank you for being considerate of me, I didn't mean to, I really didn't know that the traffic situation in this city is like this......"

"It's okay, I'm also from outsider." Schiller also took a sip of his glass, and he smiled and said: "Although many people don't see this, when it comes to transportation, I am as uncomfortable as all outsiders. ”

"That's all you don't get used to." Gordon also laughed.

"Speaking of which, what are you going to do with this little girl?" Hal looked at Aisha, who was sitting next to Schiller, and the butler had made a children's meal full of broccoli and carrots, but Aisha didn't refuse to come, but judging by her expression, she might want to nibble on raw carrots more.

"What to do?" Schiller looked at Hal and said, "Bruce Wayne officially adopted her, and now her full name is Elizabeth Martha Wayne." ”

"But......" Hal said, with a very embarrassed expression, "we all know how she came to be, that monster ......"

The first to shake his head was Victor, who looked at Hal and said, "But now, she is no longer the monster, if her soul is still like that, or if she can be like that, then I do agree that she needs to be supervised in order not to harm ordinary people." ”

"However, now that Aisha has changed from soul and body to a human being, then she should enjoy the rights that a human being should have."

"At the same time......" Victor looked at Aisha and said, "Obviously, she is intelligent and can be taught, no different from a human child, and if she really endangers society in the future, it will be because of the failure of education."

Schiller looked at Victor with some surprise and said, "I didn't expect you to be a supporter of the theory of acquired education. ”

"As I said before, my wife and I used to teach younger children, and in the process, I deeply understood the importance of acquired education for human beings."

Gordon put down his glass, touched his sideburns and said, "Although I'm also more worried that she might make trouble in the future, is there still less chaos in Gotham?" ”

"A mouth full of fangs, immense strength, and extreme speed, it sounds quite bluffing, but in Gotham, there are more terrible things than this."

Gordon said as he picked up a piece of steak with a fork and put it in his mouth

"Remember the last time there was a riot in the cathedral? The people there somehow went crazy, and it took a lot of effort to get them to their senses. ”

"I don't know." Victor turned his head to look at Gordon and asked, "Is that the accident that caused serious damage to Gotham Cathedral?" What really happened then? ”

Gordon sighed and looked at Schiller, who ate the food on his plate unhurriedly, and then said:

"It all starts with something called the Wine Pool beneath Gotham Cathedral."
