In the dark night, in a room on the second floor of Wayne Manor, the lights were faintly flickering, Hal raised his hands and stood in the center of the room, he looked back and saw the face of an old man.

"I know you have a peculiar ability that can disappear and reappear instantly, but from what I've observed, it takes a certain amount of time for you to activate this ability, do you think you disappear faster, or do you think I pull the trigger faster?"

The few people living in Wayne Manor at this time would have been surprised to hear what Alfred had said, for the old butler seemed to be a different person, and he had never said such a thing to anyone in the manor in such a cold tone.

In the eyes of most people, Alfred will always be the old butler who smiles and holds a plate, stands at the table to set the table, or cleans the museum shelves with a duster.

It was clear from his current position that this was not the first time he had held a gun, and he was holding a double-barreled shotgun with a solid wood grip, the long chamber reflecting a chilling glow in the light, and the muzzle of the gun was against Hal's waist.

Hal swallowed, he didn't dare to move at all, as Alfred said, it takes a certain amount of time for him to activate the Green Light ability, which is usually negligible, but the most lethal point is that the Green Light Ring will glow.

Once Hal invoked the green light energy, the green light ring would glow green, and this light would spread all over his body in an instant, but even for a very short time, Hal had no doubt that as long as his ring emitted a glimmer of light, the trigger would be pulled.

Hal didn't dare to bet on whether the green light would be able to block his waist at the moment the bullet was fired, because if not, he would be cut off directly, and the green light could indeed make Hal recover quickly, but this self-healing ability has an upper limit, and being cut in half is definitely not included.

"You're Bruce's butler, aren't you?" Hal asked, he wanted to ease the atmosphere, Alfred did not answer him, but pushed the shotgun forward, Hal closed his eyes vigorously, and then said:

"Okay, okay, don't do that, do you know where this kid comes from? She's not a human, she's a monster......"

Hal suddenly heard a "click" behind him, it was the sound of the trigger being pulled, and the great fear overwhelmed him, and after a cold sweat, he found that the expected pain did not come, and Alfred only pulled the trigger falsely.

"I know a lot of things." Alfred stared at Hal in front of him and said, "It's a lot more than you think." ”

His tone was so cold that Hal couldn't hear his emotions at all, and Alfred continued, "I know you think of me as an ignorant old butler, otherwise you wouldn't have dared to invade this manor like this." ”

"I'm not trying to invade, I'm just ...... Belch! ”

Hal was shot at gunpoint again, and he shut up decisively, and then he heard Alfred say, "If your parents didn't teach you that you need to make an appointment to visit someone's house and go through the front door, then I think you should have remembered it today." ”

Hal lowered his hands, he sighed, then turned around, faced Alfred, looked him in the eye and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Butler, I know it's wrong to trespass, and I know it's a very dangerous and rude act. ”

"But you'll have to allow me to explain that Aisha isn't actually ......"

Seeing that the barrel of the gun was slowly raised between his eyes, Hal raised his hands again, and he slowly took two steps back and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this." ”

He also discovered that the old butler didn't want him to talk whenever Aisha's background was mentioned, and as he expected, Alfred also looked him in the eye and said, "The housekeeper has the obligation to help the master deal with all the children's problems, including the doubts and dishonorable parts of the background......"

"I don't think you want to be one of those backstories." Alfredra had a long note, and Hal understood what he meant, and if he wanted to leave here alive, it was best to keep his mouth shut and swallow the secret in his stomach.

He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's not talk about it, I'm really just here to make sure that her abilities beyond ordinary people don't endanger the safety of ordinary people......"

After saying that, Hal didn't care if Alfred could understand, and he began to explain to himself: "Yellow lights have always been the biggest threat to green lights, although I haven't met real yellow light demons, but the Green Lantern Army takes them very seriously. ”

"It's the same this time." Hal sighed and continued, "When they learned that the leader of the Yellow Lantern Legion had descended to this place along with the Lantern Beasts, they thought of sending the powerful Green Lantern Man here to deal with these issues. ”

"However, it all happened so quickly, and when the resolution was over, it was over, so I had to stay here and put the finishing touches on it."

"Whether it's for the safety of the universe or for the safety of ordinary people, I have to do it."

"Your name is Hal, isn't it?" Alfred asked suddenly.

Hal nodded with his hands on his hips, and Alfred looked him in the eye and asked Hal, "What do you think is the cause of all this?" ”

Hal felt strange at this question, he scratched his head, and said with some puzzlement, "Cause? Actually, I don't know why, but I just suddenly received an order that the people from the Yellow Lantern Legion had come to Earth and asked me to deal with them......"

"Then, I came to Gotham, and I was inexplicably pulled into a dream, and then I started fighting with that monster, and in the end I don't know how to win, anyway, I won......"

"Suddenly, the Yellow Lantern Beast became a little girl, and the Yellow Lantern Legion Commander didn't know where to go......"

Hal said helplessly: "Actually, I didn't know what happened from beginning to end......

"And that's how you're reporting to the so-called Green Lantern Corps?"

"I ......" Hal choked up, and Alfred said with some contempt, "You choose to report to your superiors when you don't know the cause, the process, or even the complete result?" ”

"I'm shocked that your superiors have given you orders based on your incomplete information......"

"Green Lantern Legion......" Alfred snorted softly, and said, "If you only have this level, it is better to go back to where you belong and not get involved in the affairs of the earth." ”

Hal put his finger to his forehead, he didn't know how to describe the old butler in front of him, that simple and elegant English tone, made him feel as if he was talking to a nobleman, but what he said did not leave any mercy.

"I'm an earthling, too!" Hal emphasized.

"Earthlings who make a living by selling Earth intelligence?"

Hal choked again, and he gestured helplessly: and then said, "I'm here for the safety of the earth......"

"That's what every spy says."

Alfred lowered his eyes, not wanting to look at Hal's stiff expression, and said, "One day, a group of foreigners found you, and they gave you money and power, and then told you that you should keep the peace in your home country, and by telling them everything about it. ”

"You take the money to do things, complete the task, and after being arrested, say to the judge that you are only keeping the peace......"

As he spoke, Alfred's eyes fell on the green light ring, and he said, "...... But they don't talk about the benefits you get from them. ”

"I've seen too many people like this in the first half of my life."

"Are they guilty? Perhaps the blame is not entirely on them, many of them genuinely believe that what they do will bring peace to their country. ”

"But are they innocent? He is the only one who has gained the huge benefits of betraying the country and put them above the heads of the ordinary people who suffer because of it, and in the end, he is the only one who can enjoy peace and enjoyment. ”

Hal's expression gradually changed from initial helplessness to solemnity, and Alfred turned his gaze back to his eyes, looking at him and saying, "Humans are busy for money only because it is the general equivalent of our society, and it brings us the greatest enjoyment. ”

"But how do you know that the thing you are wearing on your hand doesn't play such a role in the universe?"

"Perhaps, in your opinion, a very powerful force is not even sugar-coated garbage and residue for them, they only need to provide you with a little garbage, and you will give the interests of the motherland to ......"

"Say no more!" Hal closed his eyes, he took a deep breath, pressed his thumb against the ring on his hand, and could see very clearly that his fingertips trembled a little, and Alfred said to him:

"If you don't remember who you are, where you come from, who you're ultimately working for, and can't follow through on this goal, then all that awaits you is betrayal by everyone......"

Hal's mind seemed to fluctuate violently, he tilted his head to the side, and after a while, he took a deep breath, and in an instant, the green light of the ring lit up.

At this moment, he didn't hear the sound of the trigger being pulled, Hal pursed his lips vigorously, and just when he thought he was about to leave this place, he could go to a quiet place and think about these questions by himself, suddenly, the door of the room opened, and a small black figure appeared outside the door.

Hal didn't even see her movements, and the moment the glow of the green ring spread to his arm, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm.

"Ahh

！ Hal let out a scream and looked down to see Aisha biting into the bracer of his arm, the thick bracers couldn't stop her fangs, and blood was oozing from between her teeth.

Hal made an instinctive arm flick to shake Aisha off, but his teeth pierced the bracer and slid down with the bracer, sliding around Howl's hand like a glove when it slid to his hand.

Hal was in terrible pain, and kept shaking his arm, and when the bracer was thrown down with the little girl, the ring on his finger that emitted a green light was taken down by the bracer.

Hal gritted his teeth and covered his bleeding arm, and he looked at the princess's bed, there was no little girl on it, and the bulge of the quilt was a doll stuffed inside, which had been a trap from the beginning.

At the moment when he reacted to this, he suddenly found that the green light energy that was spreading into his body was gone, and when he turned his head, he saw that the green light ring that had fallen off drew a high parabola-

There was a "jingle bell", and the crisp sound of metal touching the floor sounded, and Hal breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the ring would not be broken.

He was about to walk over and pick up the ring, but found that the muzzle of the black hole appeared in front of his eyes again, and Hal slowly raised his hands.

At this time, a young hand slowly approached the floor, and then picked up the ring, and Dick, who had just been woken up, rubbed his eyes while looking at the ring in his hand.

"Hey, kid, put it down, that's not a toy......" Hal dissuaded with holding out his hands, and Dick, who had just been woken up, was drowsy, and before he could open his eyes, a green light spread directly to his body.

"Wait...... What is it? Dick asked indistinctly.

Hal slapped his forehead and said, "No!

！ ”

"I seem to ...... I seem to feel something...... Is this going to be done? Dick muttered to himself, and Hal, as if suddenly remembering something, said, "No! Don't teleport! It's hard to control this ability......"

With a "snap", Dick slapped the wall.
