Chapter 189: Do You Have to Ask?
A few minutes later, Howl's apartment.
"Sorry, it's a bit messy." Hal said as he entered, "I haven't been back on Earth for a long time, and I haven't had time to clean it yet. ”
Shen You didn't say anything out of politeness, but his heart said that "it's a little messy" is really a conservative statement.
The food scraps piled up at the door made the whole room smell of takeaway from yesterday. The dilapidated sofa is stained and even cracked, and there are clutter such as plates, clothes, and books piled up in the corners, as if everything is just thrown away after it has been used.
The smell of bachelors filled the air.
Hal also seemed a little embarrassed. He coughed and put on the lamp ring. As soon as his mind moved, the green light energy immediately conjured up several cleaning robots out of thin air, each holding a broom, mop, and shovel in their hands, and the Green Lantern Corps' iconic light ring logo was printed on their chests.
He waved his hand, and the green light cleaning team immediately split up to clean up.
Shen You glanced at the black carpet under their feet and couldn't help but chuckle: "The black carpet is really a good idea, it doesn't look dirty." ”
The only thing in the room was this black carpet that looked pretty passable.
Hearing this, Hal's expression froze again.
"In fact, I remember that the carpet was supposed to be blue."
Shen You: "."
The two were awkwardly and eerily silent for a few seconds, and then tacitly decided to skip the topic and not mention it again.
"Coffee? Beer? ”
Hal asked as he sat down on the couch, and at the same time waved the lamp ring casually.
A pair of palms appeared out of thin air in front of the refrigerator, opened the refrigerator door, and took out a can of beer and a box of coffee beans from inside.
"No need." Shen You said, glancing at the cleaning machines that were working and the two dangling hands that closed the refrigerator and began to make coffee for Hal, thinking that this green light ring seemed to be really convenient.
"By the way, how did you find me?" Hal looked at Shen You strangely, "How do you know I'm Green Lantern?" I'm wearing a face mask. ”
"No offense. But your 'mask' only covers your cheekbones. Shen You smiled.
In a Green Lantern movie that Warner himself doesn't want to mention, the heroine Carol complained to Hal, "I've even seen the appearance of a bare ass, do you think I can't recognize it when I cover my cheekbones?" ”
However, Hal is also among the superheroes who don't care so much about secret identities. He's also the type who can disguise better and can't pull him down, anyway, in his cognition, there is no problem that he can't be reckless with his fists. If there is, then switch to a bigger fist.
"Okay, let's get down to business. I've recently made up for a lot of things that happened during my absence from Earth. Hal said, "So, when I'm not there, there was a superman on Earth, and . . . Ultraman, are you right?
It's strange why the Guardians don't have your race in their database."
"The Guardians don't have robohunters in their arsenal yet." Shen You, "And these are certainly not the only things they are hiding. ”
"yes, I'm starting to get suspicious." Hal cupped his chin, "I asked about the robot hunters, but the Guardian reprimanded me on the spot and told me to stay away from the case.
And then I rightfully told them that it couldn't be. These machines are in my sector, on my planet. I've long thought those blue dwarfs were unreliable. But no one in the Green Lantern Corps found it strange, and everyone took it for granted to obey their orders.
There are many things that the Guardians don't tell us, and they don't ask. I tried to ask questions, and they threatened to take away my lamp ring and dismiss me."
"Green Lanterns are all soldiers, and obedience is their duty. They never asked, of course. Shen You shrugged.
While it is true that the duty of the Guardians and the Green Lantern Corps is to maintain the peace of the universe and defend justice, it is also the justice that the Guardians want. After all, the Green Lantern is just working for the Guardians.
"But my light ring has found some kind of unique signal used by the robot hunters, and I suspect it may be used internally for communication."
Hal crossed his legs, sipping the coffee that Lamp Ring had just made for him.
"When I came back, I had the Ring simulate that signal and project it outward. Now every minute is likely to have a response"
"Signal response." The light ring flickered.
"Hah, what did I say?" Hal's eyes lit up, "Lantern ring, mark the coordinates for me." ”
The Green Lantern Ring quickly revealed its location. Not far away, just near low-earth orbit, someone responded to his call with the same signal.
"Very well, the Guardian won't say, then I'll check it myself. I'll see what the hell is behind this machine hunter."
As he spoke, his whole body flashed with light, and the light of the lamp ring covered his whole body, and the uniform that conjured up the classic green light wrapped around his whole body.
At the same time, Shen You's bracelet has also been activated. The armor that appeared out of thin air was quickly assembled and covered all over his body.
Hal chuckled, "Cool. ”
Ten minutes later, both of them had flown out of the atmosphere and arrived at the location where the coordinates were directed.
A spaceship.
The silver spaceship, with a streamlined design, scans show that it is some kind of reconnaissance ship, with traces of Euro-Arab technology.
Hal unleashed cutting energy with the light ring, like a green laser knife cutting a circular cut on the outside of the scout ship. The two flew in one after the other.
Eerie atmosphere without any light source. Green light from the Ring of Light was thrown in from the incision, barely illuminating a small area near the entrance.
There is no breath of the living, no air, like a long-lost haunted house. The mirror-like utensils hung on the walls, but they were broken, and the green light of the lamp ring reflected off the countless mirrors, and the shadows reflected by the cracks made people shudder.
"No signs of life." Green Light Ring Report.
"Then continue scanning"
Before Hal could finish speaking, Shen You reached out with one hand and grabbed his arm and dragged him back.
Almost at the same time, a red-hot beam of light burst out of the darkness, almost grazing Howl's close protective force field.
The ship's walls were pierced by the beam, and green energy fragments flew around from where the force field was hit. The scorching pain seeped through his body, and Hal staggered, gritting his teeth to look at the attacker.
Then a pair of strange red rays lit up.
The dark red curved body is smooth and full of the texture of foreign technology. The limbs of the silver shell, the sturdy and precise design, the eyes flashed with a demonic red light, and the facial features similar to those of a human were mechanical and cold, without a trace of expression fluctuations.
Machine Hunter.
"That's what you're best at?" Hal was covered in green light, "That's it? That's all for the robot hunter? ”
However, the voice just fell.
In the darkness, more and more red rays lit up, surrounding the two of them from all directions.
Shen You squinted and glanced at Haar: "You have to ask, don't you?" ”
