"Sake Pool...... Gotham Cathedral ......"

A bony hand, skimming over one book after another, suddenly stopped on a book called "The History of Gotham City", grabbed the spine of the book with his index finger, and removed it from the shelf.

The other hand gently stroked the dust on the cover, and after opening the book, he searched down according to the index of contents, and a voice sighed softly:

"Gotham Cathedral...... Got it. ”

Outside the rows and rows of bookshelves, a meticulously dressed old butler walked over with a tray, he stood between the two rows of bookshelves, looked at the fascinated Bruce who was standing in front of the bookshelves, and said, "Master, it's tea time, do you want me to bring the tea?" ”

"No...... Thanks, Alfred. Bruce didn't look up, still looking intently at the introduction to Gotham Cathedral in the book, paused, and said, "Help me put it on the table over there, I'll be over later." ”

Bruce stood there and looked at it for a while, feeling that the lighting was a little dim, and the details of the drawings on some pictures were not clear, so he took the book, walked out of the shelf, went to the rest area next to it, and sat down in a chair.

Alfred stood at the table, took out the meal from the cart next to him, and then took out the teapot and began to make tea, Bruce kept his head down and read, the sound of tea brewing into the cup sounded along with Alfred's voice:

"Sir, you seem to have been obsessed with the study of magic and the occult lately?"

"Hmm." Bruce replied, and in private, he spoke less, but when facing Alfred alone, his tone was more relaxed and willing to explain something.

"Konstantin opened my eyes to another possibility of magic, the kind of doppelganger he used looked more like a technology, and I wondered, could magic also be an energy that could be harnessed? It's like heat and kinetic energy......"

Alfred's brow furrowed slightly when he heard the name Constantine, and Bruce was keenly aware of his expression, and said, "I know that there is nothing to be desired about Constantine, except for the knowledge of magic in his head. ”

"It's good to have curiosity and a desire to learn, sir." Alfred replied with some inexplicability, and then he said, "But I don't know if he thinks there's anything merit in you......"

This sentence used several words to weaken the tone, and Bruce understood that Alfred was a euphemistic reminder that Constantine might have bad intentions against him, and as Batman, of course, he knew that just looking at what Constantine had done before was enough for him to be vigilant.

Although this scumbag does not have any advantages in life habits, there is no doubt that his brain is very useful, he has made several plans, and then let them work together, not only do not interfere with each other, but also make rapid progress, if it is not for a little accident in the end, every goal of his will be achieved.

It was the first time Bruce had confronted such a person, and he had to admit that in addition to magic, he was also interested in Konstantin's style of doing things.

"And, sir, you have to consider Aisha and Dick, they are still young and still need the care of their elders." Alfred pointed: "It is very important to guide and protect children at this age, and if they are not done, they can have serious consequences. ”

Bruce nodded, he thought that what Alfred said made sense, but he didn't take it to heart, not to mention that Aisha and Dick were not ordinary children, just the security system of Wayne Manor was enough to protect the two children.

Bruce had been holding the book in his hand, and he pointed to a line on the book and muttered to himself, "It is recorded here that a priest once raised money for the renovation of the church, not only Falcone and his gangster family donated a lot of wealth, but the Wayne family was also involved, in addition to Gotham's major business families......"

He frowned and said to himself, "What is so special about the cathedral?" Could it have something to do with the underground wine pool? ”

Aside from Constantine, the only thing he could get in touch with magic was the church and the wine pool under the church, so after he couldn't keep track of Constantine due to his schedule, Bruce changed his perspective and began to check from Gotham locally.

The Wayne family has a large number of books, as well as books that record the history of Gotham's founding, and in these books, Bruce finds many clues, but none of them can be connected, so he decides to investigate on the ground.

After some absent-minded tea time, Bruce hurried away, and the book was placed on the table.

Alfred, who was cleaning up refreshments and cutlery, looked at the cover of the book.

The font on the book cover is a relatively simple flower, which is generally used to write store signs and names, at this time, the curve of the strokes slowly changes to a very short personal name - "Hal Jordan".

As the pen on which the last stroke was written, Schiller fastened the cap of the pen and put the pen back in the barrel.

In the deserted study, looking at the medical records he had just written, Schiller smiled.

The abnormality that Aisha had shown just now should be enough to arouse Hal's curiosity and worry.

He continued to write along Howl's name:

“…… He has a strong sense of identity with the will of the Green Lantern Corps, and transfers the anxiety caused by his flying dream to the Green Lantern's career, wanting to complete each mission as perfectly as possible, and not wanting to repeat the mistakes of the past......"

"It is speculated that the Green Lantern Corps may be tasked with investigating the situation of the parallax monster, investigating the situation of Senisto, investigating the situation in Gotham, ......"

Hal, who had just left Schiller's estate, had no idea that his condition had been recorded in a medical record.

Having just drunk some wine, Hal was a little drunk, and coughed twice against the trunk of the tree on the side of the road, sniffed hard, then wrapped his clothes tighter and walked briskly across the road.

"Becoming an Immortal"

As Aisha showed some unusual images from the dinner party that kept swirling in his head, Hal began to become a little anxious, and his reason was telling him that what Victor said at the time made sense, and that Aisha was now a little human girl, not the terrifying-looking parallax monster.

Despite her anomalies, she doesn't show any signs of attacking people at all, on the contrary, from her movements and expressions, Hal can tell that she is constantly learning the human way of communication, just like a real toddler.

But another possibility lingered in his mind, once he let Aisha go, what kind of chaos did she make in the future, would the Green Lantern Corps blame him for this? Will it take back his green light ring and make him lose this great power?

Whenever he thinks about this, Hal feels that his mind is in a mess, and he has not succeeded in becoming the fighter pilot of his dreams, and the reasons for this are complex, but there is no doubt that Hal is not satisfied with his ordinary life.

Now, the green light has brought him a change, and he sees new hope in this change, and he doesn't want to let his other career end up failing because of his dereliction of duty.

What if the Green Lantern sends him a mission to kill Aisha?

If he doesn't deal with the problem of Aisha now, what will he do if Aisha breaks out in the future and endangers ordinary people?

If...... If...... Hal thought too much about what ifs, as a fledgling, he was not the greatest Green Lantern in the future, and although he already had the potential to have an invincible will, he still felt tangled and confused.

After thinking about it, Harth felt that the only solution was to talk to Aisha in person, if the parallax monster could not communicate and was destined to be the enemy of the green light, then Aisha, who has now become a human little girl, may be able to communicate.

Thinking like this, Hal changed the direction he was walking, found an alley where no one was around, and then used his Green Lantern ability to teleport to the vicinity of Wayne Manor.

Walking to the main gate of Wayne Manor, Hal hesitated, first because he felt that Bruce Wayne must be very difficult to deal with, and he was afraid that he would definitely not let himself in, and if the time came, there might be a fight, which was not the result Hal wanted.

Second, he felt that the matter between the lantern groups should be solved by the lantern man, and the matter between the yellow light and the green light should be solved by themselves.

In this way, Hal convinces himself not to go through the front door, but in the same way, he does not plan to go through the side door, in short, he does not plan to go through the door, but intends to determine Aisha's location and teleport directly in front of her.

The investigation of Aisha in the past few days has not been done in vain, based on the time when Aisha came home and the time when the lights were on in Wayne Manor's room, Hal knew that Aisha's bedroom was most likely on the second floor.

When it got dark, Hal noticed that a room on the second floor was lit up.

Although he was doing a good deed, but for some reason, Hal felt a little inexplicable, and he kept convincing himself in his mind that this was actually for the safety of the earth and the safety of the citizens of Gotham.

He took a few deep breaths, and then the ring lit up with a green light, and the green light spread from his fingers all the way to his body, and in an instant, Hal's figure disappeared.

With a "bang", he landed on the wooden floor of the manor, and in front of him was a princess bed that looked like a little girl, the quilt was slightly raised, and Aisha seemed to be sleeping soundly.

But Hal did not step forward, but took two steps back, and then shouted in a low voice, "Aisha, Aisha, are you there?" ”

"Parallax? Parallax monster? ”

The figure on the bed did not respond, and Hal showed an extremely embarrassed expression, but he still did not step forward, and stood in place with his hands crossed on his waist, as if he did not know what to do.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a hard object against his back.

Hal stiffened, slowly raised his arms, and in the shadows behind him, a white-haired figure appeared, no one had ever seen Alfred's expression so cold.

No one had ever seen the shotgun he was holding.

Following Alfred's gaze and looking out the window, the moonlight was shining.

The moonlight shone on the crumbling spire of the old church, and a black figure with pointed ears fell on it, then jumped down the eaves.

Walk through the cloister of the church to the chapel room, turn right again, enter the side corridor, pass the confessional, and walk inside, Batman remembers the architectural plan he had seen in the book.

Soon, he stopped in front of a door, the old padlock did not stop the master lockpicker, and with the slightest "click", the old wooden door slowly opened, and behind it was the priest's living room.

It seems that this place has not been used for a long time, and with the last riot, the entire cathedral was closed, and the old priest moved somewhere else.

The first thing Batman saw when he walked into the room was a table facing the door, and at this time, the moonlight shone through the window on the table, and the table top emitted a hazy white light, and on it there was a small picture frame in addition to many books and dossiers.

The hand covered in black armor picked up the frame, his thumb gently wiping the dust off it.

There are three young people in the photo, dressed and looking like people from the previous era.

The faces of two of them are familiar to Batman.

Dressed in a black suit, bow tie, and with a red poppy pinned to his pocket, Falcone, the godfather of Gotham, and a black robe, looking good-looking, is the priest of the cathedral.

And the last person, Batman is more familiar, he wears a long trench coat, a beret, and an old-fashioned shotgun in his hand.

It was Alfred Pennyworth.
