Lucifer was stunned to look at the countless crystals filled with green light energy, his jaw slowly opened and closed, but he lowered his head and rubbed his eyes again, and then looked up, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the mountain, and asked:

"You've emptied all the green light energy in the universe??!!"

"Not really." Schiller shook his head and said, "It's just the energy of a dozen total lamp furnaces, and the emotional spectrum energy in the universe shouldn't be so small, right?" ”

Lucifer's hand gestured between Schiller, Hal and the Green Mountain, meaning "How the hell did you do this?" ”

"I remember, the rules and regulations of the legion are very strict, huh? Moreover, those little blue-skinned men regard the spectrum of emotions as their property and will not let people mess around, how can you ...... under their noses"

Lucifer wanted to say something and stopped, but finally his eyes fell on Schiller's face, he didn't have to think about it, it must have been his own pope who did a good deed.

"Tell me about it." Schiller stood up, stretched out his hand and pointed at Hal, and said: "The Supreme Green Lantern Leader of the Green Lantern Gendarmerie, the head of the Green Lantern Corps Integrity Department, the head of the Green Lantern Corps Logistics Department, the honorary principal of the Green Lantern Training School, the chief investigator of the Green Lantern energy theft case, and the greatest Green Lantern candidate of all time - Hal Jordan!" ”

Lucifer slapped him on the head.

"I didn't want to do that." Hal's expression was very innocent: "It's really brothers who show love, plus they really can't find anyone else." ”

Looking at Hal's expression, Lucifer realized that it didn't seem to be all Schiller and Hal's problem, and the biggest flaw in the Green Lantern Corps was that all of their members were and could only be users of Green Light energy.

It stands to reason that after the theft of an important item, the victim should immediately contact an authoritative third party to investigate, but the problem is that there is no third party in the Lantern Ring.

Those who can't use the lamp ring can't understand the energy, and those who can use the lamp ring are all suspicious, and the little blue people don't trust other cosmic organizations, so in the end, they can only pick the less suspicious among the suspects and set up an investigation team to investigate.

As we all know, throughout the ages, you can't get any results by checking yourself.

Hal is too well disguised, and he shows complete loyalty in front of the little blue man, pointing and fighting, as if he is the captain of the gendarmerie, and the little blue man suspects that he also has to use him, because he needs to be an example.

So in just one or two years, Hal and his colleagues who had been rebelled against before worked at the same time, creating accidents on the one hand, quelling accidents on the other, poking the basket on the other, and conducting investigations at the same time, and vigorously promoted Hal to a high position, and in such a short period of time, almost all the energy gathered by the main lamp furnace was emptied.

And according to the previous way of thinking, they secretly poured the green light energy into some weapons and machinery, locked it and sold it to other civilizations, so that they could renew their fees when they expired, and earned a lot of resources from other civilizations.

But because he didn't dare to make too much movement, he had always been small-scale retail, so he had so much energy left for Hal.

Schiller tapped the table with the bottom of the wine bottle and said, "You should know how powerful the green light energy is for ordinary people, even a talented green lantern like Hal will inevitably be tempted after seeing so much energy. ”

"I still have a lot of work to do, so I don't have time to supervise these energies, but if I let it be here, it would be very wasteful, we all hope that these precious energies can contribute to the construction of the universe as soon as possible, and at this time, we need an authoritative and impartial third party. to supervise who can use it and who can't. ”

Lucifer covered his forehead and said, "Can you remember that you are my pope?!" And you're still an angel??? You can do this kind of thing secretly, and you still want to pull me onto a thief ship?! …… For the sake of the two of us, I don't think I heard it. ”

Schiller ignored him at all, but continued fluently: "This job is so hard and hectic, almost all year round, so this third party must be very industrious and dedicated. ”

"Moreover, it is better for him to know the great men of the various forces of heaven, hell, and earth, to understand their preferences, temperament, and character, and to be knowledgeable and well-read."

"Of course, he also has to have some industry in the human world. It takes a certain amount of money and guts to cover up this kind of underground trade that can't be put on the table, after all, those blue skins are not vegetarians. ”

"Of course, harvesting such cherished and precious resources, there will naturally be no shortage of people who seek the head, and he must also have firm willpower, wealth and nobility cannot be lewd, mighty and unyielding, and must seek truth from facts and be fair enough."

"Don't talk about it!" Lucifer covered his eyes and said, "It's useless for you to compliment me!" Isn't this just selling stolen goods to thieves?! ”

Schiller smiled, and Hal knew at once what he was going to say, so before Schiller could speak, he spoke:

"Actually, the blueskins of those self-proclaimed guardians of the universe. are the real thieves, they have completely monopolized the energy of the emotional spectrum that exists in nature. ”

"Originally, this naturally occurring energy could be mined and used by various races, but they made a lamp furnace, pumped out all the energy, and locked it up, and no one was allowed to use it except the people they designated."

"If they can make good use of this energy, it will be fine, but the legion is nominally maintaining cosmic security, but in fact, it is completely a manifestation of their private will, they are only maintaining the cosmic security they want, not really wanting to make those races have a better life."

"For example, some time ago, we sold a reactor, which is actually very simple, and it is a little more advanced than human industrial civilization, I am not kidding, it is essentially an internal combustion engine."

"It's just that we stuffed a miniature lamp stove into it, which made it a veritable perpetual motion machine, and this race bought this machine to solve the catastrophic cold wave on their only planet."

"Before, when the cold wave broke out, they asked the Green Lantern Corps for help, but they were refused, on the grounds that their sector was too remote, and there was no Green Lantern in charge, and the other Green Lantern had their own duties and could not leave their posts without permission."

"But we all know that this is just an excuse, the real reason is that the place where this race is located is very desolate, there is no possibility of developing interstellar civilization, the population of the entire planet is less than 1 billion, and there is no special ability, the intelligence is average, the willpower is also average, and there has never been a lantern man."

"They have no value." There was some sadness in Howl's tone, and he pursed his lips and said, "The Guardians of the Universe say that they want to maintain the security of the universe, but they only maintain the security of the value. ”

"What is even more unacceptable to me is that the definition of 'worthy' includes not only prosperity and power, but also 'obedience', or in other words, obedience is the first priority. ”

"You have to allow a strange person with powerful energy to fly around within your territory at will, to deal with the aftermath of all the accidents he may cause, to swallow his anger when he causes disasters for some reason, and to sing the praises of him on the interstellar stage, otherwise he will be abandoned."

"This is not true justice, nor is it the peace I seek." Hal shook his head and said, "Because obviously, human beings are not valuable enough, and human beings will never submit to them, and once we resist, they will be eliminated, and when the time comes, we will become sinners who destroy the peace of the universe, and we must prepare for this." ”

Schiller picked up on his words and continued: "We hope to be able to find malleable talents in the pan-human civilization, that is, among all the groups and races that deal with human beings, and to give them weapons or equipment enhanced by green light energy, and to organize our own armed forces. ”

"But the problem is that this energy is too powerful, and so far, no one has the confidence to keep all the energy after the news spreads."

As soon as Lucifer opened his mouth to speak, Schiller spoke in advance: "I know, you want to talk about Batman, but have you ever thought that this energy may be polluted in Gotham?" …… Gotham is special. ”

Lucifer thought for a moment, then said, "You want me to help you keep an eye on this energy?" ”

"In fact, we hope that if you can put this energy in your bar, the person who knows about it will recommend him to your bar when he meets someone who might be the right person, and you can investigate and screen him again and give him this energy in the right way."

"At the same time, you have to test whether he can make good use of this energy, such as asking him to do something."

"It's a great solution to your bar's off-season, and you need to find out who we're optimistic about from the customers who come to your bar."

"Not only do you have to give him equipment, but you also have to give him tasks, you will meet all kinds of people, see how their lives have a turning point in you, it may go to light, it may go to darkness."

"Their lives are not entirely up to you, but it's about you, and you don't have to be responsible for them, but you can watch them have fun."

"I've said it all, I hate psychologists." Lucifer took a sip of his wine, put his glass on the table, glanced at Hal and said, "Take me around town tomorrow and pick a good corner for my bar." ”

As night fell, the temperature in Seaside City dropped significantly, Hal crouched in front of the fireplace to extinguish the flames, Schiller walked down the stairs, Hal looked up and asked him, "What's wrong?" Professor, why didn't you go to sleep? ”

"Oh, I want to make a call."

Hal pointed to the telephone next to him, and Schiller walked over, glanced up at his watch, and when the minute hand turned to a scale, he picked up the receiver and dialed the phone.

As soon as the phone was connected, Alfred's cordial greeting rang out at the same time, accompanied by a cry of pain that was deeper than Bruce's, Aisha's whimpering and screaming out of her throat, the little boy's scream, and the crackling of furniture collapsing.

Schiller looked down at his nails, and waited for a while before a low but breathless voice came from the other end of the phone: "...... Feed? ”

"Hey, hello, Mr. Thomas, I guess the arm you're holding the phone is bleeding, you'd better go and bandage it."

"I don't have anything important, I just want to say that you should have found out, you have been deceived by me very thoroughly, this Gotham is completely different from what you imagined, Batman is a failure, sir."

"Then why be so serious? …… Good night. ”

Thomas listened to the busy tone coming from the phone receiver in a little dazed, he couldn't hold back any longer, hung up the phone hard, and stood there and took a few deep breaths.

No matter how many times, when losing to the Joker, Batman will still be blackened by the angry eyes.

Then, Thomas looked down at the series of tooth marks on his arm that were deep and bone-visible, gasped, looked at the three little boys who were pressing Aisha on the sofa, gritted his teeth, and said:

"Can anyone explain to me what the hell is going on? How did Bruce have an illegitimate daughter? And...... Why are her teeth so sharp?! ”

"Oh, born with a deformed tooth, too young to be corrected, with a medical certificate from the dentist......" Dick said looking around.

"Then why are her eyes vertical???

"Heterochromia iris, there is a diagnosis from an ophthalmologist." Jason said confidently with his arms crossed.

"Why is she only screaming and not talking?"

"Autism in children, there is a diagnosis prescribed by a psychiatrist." Tim said with an innocent look on his face.

"Well, last question, who is her mother?"

At this time, Alfred stepped forward, looked at Thomas sincerely, and said.

"Sir, to put it simply, a passionate youthful pleasure, an accident, a heartbroken mother, an innocent illegitimate daughter ......"

Thomas covered his eyes.

After torturing the son, he tortured the father
