Chapter 423: Program Tampering

Sector 666, a remote and primitive planet.

Hal Jordan slowly opened his eyes, feeling the temperature of the sun shining on his body through the dense foliage. He was dazed for a few seconds, and then sat up with great difficulty, but as soon as he sat up straight, he felt a strong feeling of drowsiness hit him.

"Strange, what's wrong with me? Here it is.? ”

He shook his head, looked around, and it took a few seconds for him to remember where he was. After searching through the memories of the fragment, he finally came up with the posture of the furious guardian and the large pile of lamp beasts tethered to the other party

"That's right, Carona!"

Hal jumped to his feet in shock.

"The truth of the Sector 666 massacre, the rebellious guardian, he has mastered most of the spectrum. Hell, he took the ion shark"

Hal shook his head, chagrined.

So the big question is, why did he keep himself?

Caronna has undoubtedly returned to seek revenge on the Guardians who had exiled him, and the Green Lantern Regiment under the Guardians was naturally his enemy. And he, Hal Jordan, is the number one general under the Guardians, and even if the ion shark is taken away, it is still a bit unreasonable to deliberately spare his life.

"By the way, and the Book of Darkness."

Thinking of this, Hal hurriedly turned around, only to see behind him that the book of darkness he had found was also gone. A huge black book just disappeared out of thin air. Hal had only had time to read a very small section of the secret contained in it.

Did Carona take it?

Hal took a deep breath.

In any case, the Legion must be contacted quickly. But I don't know how long I've been unconscious, and it's likely that Carona has gone straight back to the Legion after getting the Ion Shark, so maybe it's too late now.

"Green Lantern Corps, whoever, has anyone received it? This is Hal Jordan. I have something urgent."

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard someone respond: "Yes, Hal." We received it. ”

But the voice didn't come from the lamp ring, but from behind him.

As soon as Hal turned around, he was almost blinded by the panicked green light. I saw that at some point, a large group of Green Lantern had flown to this planet where birds don't, surrounded him in the middle, and all of them held lamps and aimed at him vigilantly.

Hal looked confused: "What's the situation?" Salak? ”

He noticed that it was Green Lantern Sarak who was leading the team, the Guardians' most trusted secretary of the Lantern Regiment, and Green Lantern with several hands.

"An urgent order from the Guardian to hand over the Ring of the Light, and we'll escort you back to Oua, Jordan." Salak Road.

"Escort me?" Hal was surprised, "Why?" ”

"It seems that you have violated some taboo and touched something that violates the laws of the Legion, but we are only carrying out orders." Salak said, "If you have any questions, you can leave them and go to the Guardian and ask them yourself."

We're all comrades-in-arms, don't make it difficult for us, Hal. ”

Hal frowned. Although he was a thorn in the pan and often did something illegal, he thought that he should not have done anything this time.

Is it a book of darkness to break taboos?

The contents of that book should undoubtedly be a top secret for O'a, something that the Guardians don't want any Lampman to know, especially a problematic Lampman like Hal who is powerful and disobedient.

"Well, I might have guessed why."

Hal rubbed the bridge of his nose, only to feel a little big.

"But it's not a good time, brothers. What you don't know is that the Legion may be facing big problems right now. Sarak, you've been in charge of keeping the Book of Eua, and I may need your help.

The book here and that book is gone."

Salak listened to the end: "What book? ”

"It's Darkness"

"It doesn't matter, we just need to complete the order." One Green Lantern said, "The only thing the Guardians have instructed is to bring Jordan back and talk." Take off your ring and walk with us. ”

"Please, I don't want to fight you." Hal raised his hands, "We've known each other for so long. You look me in the eye, do you think I'm the kind of person who gets into trouble? ”

The Green Lantern looked at each other and said nothing.

In the end, even Hal himself was a little nervous.

"Well, maybe I am, but it's not really my fault this time."

Finally, there was a green lantern with a pot lid and couldn't help but say, "I don't think listening to Jordan finish talking will change the probability of us completing the mission, Salak." ”

"We're not a democracy." The green light secretary remains stubborn.

"But we're legions, and we can't let poor communication tear us apart. Especially the lightman Jordan. He's Ion Man, the most special of all of us. "There is a Green Lantern who can't help but say.

"Well, that's one of the problems." Hal scratched his head, "I'm not an ion man anymore. ”

"What!?" The Green Lanterns were surprised.

"Yes, that's what I'm trying to tell you, it's a serious problem. We gotta be"

However, before Hal could say a word, he saw the Green Lantern men who surrounded him suddenly clasped their heads and screamed, and they all fell to their knees involuntarily.

"What's wrong with you?"

Hal was surprised and hurriedly held up his ring.

"Lantern Ring, scan these Green Lanterns. What's going on with them? ”

His green light ring was quick to report: "Procedure tampering detected. The Green Light Ring was rewritten, overwriting the mind of the vow-bearer. ”

"How so? That has to be done from the central battery, at the headquarters of the European and Arab countries."

Halton was stunned and couldn't help but be angry.

"Caronna!"

Without a doubt, his worst fears have become a reality. Finally, it was too late, and Carona had already killed Oua, taking over the central battery, and rewriting all the programming of the Green Light Ring from the terminal at the headquarters.

Now it is no longer the Green Lantern that has mastered the Lantern Ring, but the Lantern Ring in turn controls the Green Lantern.

Such tampering will undoubtedly take effect on every Green Light Ring issued by the Legion.

In other words, Carona has taken over the Green Lantern Corps, and every Green Lantern in the universe has become his soldier.

Hal was okay because the ring on his hand was made by his own hand, and it no longer belonged to the Green Lantern Legion. Therefore, the back door that the Guardians left for their own lantern rings naturally has nothing to do with him.

Of course, the Green Lanterns he faced in front of him at this time were different.

"Mission Update. Execute it immediately. ”

Green Lantern Salak had a hollow look in his eyes, and the machine stiffened and raised the light ring to aim at Hal.

All the Green Lantern Men who accompanied him also raised the Lamp Ring in unison.

Arrest Green Lantern Hal Jordan.

"It's over."

On the planet Oa, Caronna laughed.

"I knew you would never learn to behave. Even if you follow me and choose the spectrum as a weapon, you still can't trust your Green Lantern. Of course, you're going to have a back door.

That's why it's happening now, just as history repeats itself countless years ago.

I turned your robot hunters against the universe with a simple command, and now it's time to do the same to your Green Lantern Legion. ”

Carona looked at the Guardians who surrounded him, hollow-eyed puppets with eyes like broken puppets.

"It's time to show the universe the true power of the Green Lantern Corps! Hahahaha. Ahem. Ahem"

Caronna continued to vomit blood.
