As one of the weather forecasters who appeared on the big screen said before, tonight is the night with the most green lights in Gotham.

But these green lights are not willing to stay on the traffic poles in peace, but like headless flies, scurrying around the city.

They don't know what kind of abyss the city is, and they don't know what kind of darkness is hidden in the narrow alleys, the dark corridors, and the buildings with swaying lights and shadows.

At first, the activities of these strangely dressed people did not attract much attention, because there were so many weirdos in Gotham, but a rumor spread among the most widespread truck drivers, who said that Gotham was haunted.

These green-glowing creatures are ancestral spirits born from the ground, who have come to sanction the city and want to rid it of all chaos and evil.

When the citizens of Gotham City heard the news, their reaction was not to pray or flee to the church, but to pick up guns, fill magazines, open doors, walk out into the streets, and bombard everything green in sight.

"We're here to save the city!" A Green Lantern shouted, "We are here for justice, and the Green Lantern will purify all filth!" ”

"Bang!"

The bullet hit the faint green light, and although it did not penetrate the shield of the green light, it knocked the green lantern away, and a little boy with a freckled face reloaded the rifle in his hand, saying:

"Rescue the city? Sorry, but the city doesn't need anyone to save it. ”

As he spoke, he raised his gun and pointed it at the Green Lantern, who shouted with a puzzled face, "Are you crazy?!" We can save this city from these evils, we are here to save you, don't you want peace?! ”

As if he was in a good mood, the newsboy pointed a gun at him, smiled mockingly, and said:

"You say you want to purify the filth, but I am one of the filths you call it, when I was born, no one came to save me, and after I tried to live a good life on my own, you wanted to purify me and give me what you call 'justice'......"

"Your peace may be good, but I don't need it."

"I don't believe in peace and justice, I only believe in the gun in my hand, because in times of danger, it is not you who protect me, but it."

As he spoke, he tried to pull the trigger again, but just then, another little boy ran out of the side, also carrying a gun in his hand, and said to the freckled newsboy, "Boss Copott is looking for you!" Hurry up and answer the phone! ”

As he spoke, the boy glanced at the Green Lantern who was paralyzed on the ground, and said, "Ignore these crazy people, they are full of justice and peace, what the hell, who would say this in Gotham?" ”

The newsboy also seemed to lose interest, and left with his companion with his gun, and after the green lantern got up from the ground, his arms were still a little shaky, he shook his head, and said in a daze, "...... Am I really crazy? ”

The newsboy followed his companion through the narrow alley, and then into a small shed, where there was a telephone, and he picked up the receiver and said, "Hey? It's me, yes, we've got guns, but so far, we haven't killed the ghosts......"

"The light on them is a bit troublesome, ordinary bullets don't work, boss, I've heard that there's a good freeze gun, can you get us one?"

"What? Finding out the location and passing on the information? Please, don't do this, I'll be 13 next year and I can fight! ”

"Okay, okay, it's all up to you...... Are you sure? Good! I'm going to inform them now! ”

After saying that, the newsboy hung up the phone and said to his companion excitedly: "Go and call them over, Boss Cobot said, let us be responsible for the investigation of the entire West District, report the location of those ghosts, and someone will solve them." ”

The companion said with some frustration: "So, we can't fight again?" Why is this the case every time? We're not young. ”

"Don't complain, Boss said, as long as we do well, he'll get us one of the most advanced freeze guns to play with, it's amazing, I've seen someone take it and knock a green fly down and turn it into a big ice cube!"

The two chattered and discussed, and soon the companion ran out to deliver the letter.

This kind of scene is not only happening among the children of the West End, but also in the network of children in Gotham, which is transmitting such a message.

Tobacco boys, newsboys, flower boys, and hawkers, the most well-informed and terrain-savvy of Gotham City's local snakes, demonstrated for the first time the power of a full-coverage intelligence network.

The number of children in Gotham is very large, in the past, the vast majority of children were idle, fighting cocks and dogs on the street every day, doing nothing, it can be said that people are tired of dogs.

And since the death of the original child king, Colbert has taken over the network.

I have to say that the Penguins are much more far-sighted than the average gangster boss in terms of strategy.

The original child king used the children to collect money, so that those parents could exploit the few money from them, but Colbert saw another possibility of this network, which was much more powerful than collecting money.

These ubiquitous hawkers, who walk the streets and alleys all year round, have nothing in the neighborhood that they don't know, not to mention that many of the newsboys still work as postmen, and they know exactly who has new letters, who has added new letters, who has died, and how many people have left their homes to work, and so on, and they are simply the only choice for developing an intelligence network.

In the past, this network was just beginning to take shape, and it was through the network developed by Cobott that Schiller discovered Merkel's fault at the first time, agents like Merkel, they are very sensitive to stalking and surveillance, but they lack vigilance against the vendors selling cigarettes at the train station, and therefore, as soon as they step into Gotham, they are recognized.

Copote, who discovered the convenience of this network, couldn't wait for a chance to fight, and at this moment, the Green Lantern fell from the sky.

The Green Lanterns who were knocked down by Aisha's ultimate are scattered all over Gotham, and it is indeed a problem to find them, although they emit a clear green light, but if you have to hide, Gotham has so many horns, it will take a lot of time to find them all.

But with the network of the kids, it's different, and these vendors are the best at getting into all kinds of weird places, because they usually mean shortcuts or hiding places.

Like the freckled newsboy, no one knows better than him where there is a gap in the wall in the West District, where there is a dog hole, and where the basement of the house leads to the next door, because it is by relying on this information that he can deliver letters quickly, not only to complete the tasks in the West District every day, but even to go to the East District to grab work.

Under the command of Copote, these children were united, and after a while, the information was submitted layer by layer, and by the time they arrived at Falcone Manor, Copote had already mastered the movements of all the Green Lanterns, their numbers, clothing, appearance, and strength, all of which were clear.

In a reception room in Falcone Manor, on the wall was a huge Gotham map covered with colorful pins, and Copote's short figure stood in front of the map, but there was a kind of majesty that people could not ignore.

"Go tell the gunmen to get them out, you don't need to kill them, you just need to get them out of those dark alleys."

One of the gangsters behind Cobot asked, "Where to drive them out?" ”

Colbert's gaze fell on the center of the Gotham City map, thought for a moment, and then said, "Go to the central turntable." ”

After the gang left, Cobot stood in front of the map and pondered for a while, when the door opened, and Alberto walked in, saying, "What the hell is going on?" Did the professor give you a correspondence? ”

Copote shook his head, and he said, "No, but I can probably guess his intentions, do you remember, one of the green people who came down in the corridor of Arkham Psychiatric Hospital was quite familiar?" ”

"It's Hal Jordan, right? We seem to have seen him in our dreams before. ”

"Yes, it looks like he should be on the side of Professor Schiller, but he is against us with those strange people, I think, he should be a spy sent by Professor Schiller, and what they are going to do will be known when we drive that group of people to the central turntable."

Alberto nodded, obviously agreeing with Copote's proposal to bring people together, while he was thinking about something else.

If the Green Lanterns fight on their own, although it is easier to break them one by one, the damage to Gotham City is relatively large, and it will be troublesome to repair at that time, if they are all concentrated in the central turntable area, it is already a ruin anyway, and it is nothing to be ploughed again.

Just as Alberto walked to the map, about to take a look at the layout, Colbert turned to leave, and Alpto stopped him and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"I'm going to make a phone call, I have something to arrange."

At the same time, on the main road leading to Gotham University, a car sped by, bringing up flakes of snow, and at this time, the snow in the sky was getting heavier and heavier, and the car did not care about the bad weather conditions, but blindly rushed to speed.

Harvey Dant, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Victor, who was behind the wheel, and said, "Don't worry, it won't be so coincidental, there is a ghost in the laboratory of Gotham University......"

Victor's face was very gloomy, he rarely had such a serious expression, and he said in a low tone: "No, what if? In case that group of weirdos happened to land near Gotham University's laboratory, it happened to destroy Gotham's power supply and cut off the laboratory's energy ......"

At the end of this sentence, Victor's voice began to tremble uncontrollably, he stepped on the accelerator again, the car accelerated again, Harvey shook his head helplessly and said: "I saw all the green lights when they fell, I remembered all the locations, I am very sure, Gotham University is not included." ”

"What if they'll teleport? Can you do magic? In case, in case ......"

Apparently, Victor had fallen into a state of paranoia, his mouth was mumbling, the muscles of his face twitching uncontrollably, and his knuckles making a slight snapping sound.

His Adam's apple trembled up and down, he kept swallowing, his breathing became rapid, and Harvey saw in his eyes a kind of madness that he had never seen before, and the lawyer, who had always been calm and reasonable, couldn't help but start worrying.

It seems that Victor, a good gentleman who has always been gentle and funny, also has an unknown crazy side.

Harvey turned his head to look out the window, and through the snow, he could see the flickering points of light in the city, like the flickering eyes of the monsters in the abyss.

Maybe that's the way this is, he thought, and everyone who comes here has different personalities, but they all have one thing in common, and that is that they're all crazy.

But they use madness as a knife and never need to be saved.
