Chapter 474 When Schiller Found a New Street Light (Part 2)

Before, Hal, who still had the green lantern ring, broke into Wayne Manor alone, and was then caught by Alfred. The green lantern ring was dropped by Elsa and finally picked up by Dick.

The key lies in the link where the green lantern ring was dropped by Elsa. As explained before, the green lantern ring is equivalent to a safe, and the green lantern energy is stored in the safe.

Only the Lantern recognized by the green lantern ring can open the safe and take out the green lantern energy inside, which is part of the safety lock of the green lantern ring.

Ordinary people who have not been recognized by the ring cannot open the door of the safe and get the energy even if they wear the ring, and ordinary people have no way to crack the safety lock of the green lantern ring.

The process of Hal's ring being dropped, in detail, is that Hal used his identity as a Green Lantern to pass the safety lock certification and opened the door of the safe. When he was about to take something out of it, his hand was bitten by Elsa and the safe was thrown out.

But the safe was already open, and the power was constantly being transmitted outward. So when Dick picked up the safe, he could immediately use the power of the Green Lantern. Even if he had not cracked the safety lock and had not been certified by the ring, he could still obtain some of the Green Lantern's abilities.

After listening to Dick's description of the whole process, Schiller guessed the principle, and the key was Aisha.

The Green Lantern Corps has been operating in the universe for so many years, and all kinds of safety measures are in place. It is almost unheard of that any ordinary person got lucky and picked up the ring and then killed all the people.

This kind of accident rarely happens, in fact, it is because the Green Lantern Ring has a relatively complete safety lock mechanism. As Hal said before, during the power transmission process, the ring will not fall off, even if the Lantern pulls the ring out himself.

But the only exception is Aisha.

Aisha is equivalent to the body of the yellow lantern beast Parallax Monster. Any material in this world may be a conductor of green lantern energy, but only excluding several other lantern beasts, green lantern energy cannot be transmitted through Aisha's body.

When Hal opened the door of the safe and was about to take out the things inside, Elsa bit his arm and blocked the energy of the green light. At this time, the door of the safe was still open.

So, when the ring was removed, a safe with the door wide open appeared. Even a child like Dick who had never been trained in willpower could use this energy.

Based on this principle, Schiller did an experiment.

There is no fixed standard for willpower, but in most cases, it is related to concentration, endurance, and control of one's emotions.

Different people have different willpower in different situations. If you break Batman's leg, he may not even hum, but if you break a pearl necklace in front of him...

Therefore, Schiller can achieve the willpower standard required by the green light by switching his different personalities. This is a simpler and more efficient method.

As expected, he called for a green lantern ring, but Schiller was different from Batman, who refused to wear a ring for the reason of "not wanting to rely on external forces". Since the ring was here, it was okay to wear it.

However, Schiller had no interest in wearing the ring to kill people. Long Aotian type traversers chose to have a full meal, smart traversers chose to have a full meal, and Schiller type traversers chose a new street lamp.

Schiller put on the green lantern ring, and then he used his willpower to open the lock of the safe, and then let Aisha grab his arm to block the energy of the green lantern, and then took off the ring. In this way, Hal's situation at that time was reproduced, and the green lantern ring he had became a locked safe.

Because the energy of the green lantern ring was always output when it was stuck, Dick would immediately activate his ability as soon as he picked up the ring. Schiller took advantage of this and directly output the energy of the ring to the kryptonite crystal that had been drained of energy after taking off the ring.

For the application of this new material, the idea is still the "color commonality" theory mentioned by Schiller at the beginning. The energy of green light is green, and the energy that generates radiation stored in kryptonite is also green. After the gray fog sucked the energy inside, the remaining colorless crystal was used by Schiller as a container of green light energy, and it was successful as expected.

However, Schiller did not transfer all the energy in the green light ring to the kryptonite crystal, but left a little energy for it.

Because Hal said at the time that the green light ring has a safety lock, and when the energy of the green light ring is in a hurry, it will actively return to the lamp furnace to recharge.

Although the green light ring that Hal dropped did not return to the lamp group to recharge smoothly because Dick barely controlled this energy, Schiller did not control his own ring, so the ring returned to the lamp furnace smoothly and recharged himself.

But at the same time, this ring was not lost, nor was it recovered by the lamp group. Its owner is still Schiller Rodriguez, so after being fully charged, it returned to Schiller.

Then, Schiller took the fully charged ring to his hand again, opened the door lock again, used Aisha to jam it again, extracted the energy and poured it into the kryptonite crystal again, and let it return to the furnace to charge again...

It is very magical that the extracted green light energy was completely preserved after being poured into the kryptonite crystal. This crystal that can store special radiation seems to have some special properties, which can ensure that the energy of the green light will not be scattered in the universe, but will be stored in the crystal.

In this way, Schiller basically understood the properties of the Green Lantern Corps, the Green Lantern Ring, the Green Lantern Furnace, and the Green Lantern Energy through his own scientific experiments, and successfully got the wool of the Green Lantern Corps with his excellent economic mind and time-tested moral standards.

After listening to Schiller's description of this process, Hal was dumbfounded.

Since it was around the 1990s, the phenomenon of bugs was not so common, at least. Hal, who had no computer education background, had no idea how to describe this behavior.

"Actually, I'm cleaning up your mess." Schiller suddenly changed the subject and put the blame on Hal. Hal was stunned and said, "Cleaning up my mess, what's wrong with me?"

Schiller tapped the table with his finger and said, "It's you who didn't have any vigilance. You got a strange ring and dared to wear it on your hand. You received a strange order and dared to execute it."

"Not only did you sell the information of the earth to aliens, you even used the abilities they gave you to do whatever you want in Gotham..."

"I didn't do anything wrong! I..."

Looking at Schiller's eyes, Hal's voice became weaker and weaker. He lowered his head knowing that he was guilty, trying not to think about the miserable situation below when he landed on the central turntable of Gotham to pretend to be a green light.

"But now it's done. Your information has been handed over. The aliens may have circulated it in turn. The information leak is irreversible. So, we should at least recover some of the losses, right?"

"But this is without the consent of others... um..."

"Did they give you the power with your consent?"

"Giving me power also requires..."

"Of course." Schiller interrupted Hal and said:

"Before they gave you this power, did they tell you the specific responsibilities corresponding to it? When obtaining your personal physical details, did you agree to it? Are there any privacy clauses related to it? Before you use this power, are there any possible consequences of this power? "

"Let me give you an example. No one has told you in any written or verbal form that using this power while falling on human traffic light poles may cause the risk of traffic jams. Then, the losses caused by the traffic jam at the central roundabout in Gotham are not your sole responsibility."

"But you said that they are aliens. Aliens should not understand the contract terms on Earth, right?"

"Because they don't understand the rules of the Earth, they rashly gave you this power, causing you to cause damage on Earth. Who is responsible?"

"Yes..."

Hal almost blurted out, but he touched his conscience and swallowed the rest of the words back.

After Schiller said this, he was also a little shaken. He remembered that when he got the green lantern ring, no one told him how to use this power so that he would not harm the people on Earth.

In fact, Hal was a little wronged when he was accused of selling out information on Earth by Alfred and Batman.

He was just an ordinary person. Suddenly, the divine power descended from the sky, and the other party was righteous and stern. It was understandable that he didn't expect that the other party might have evil intentions.

Now think about it, if a contract is full of treaties that are beneficial to you, constantly giving you power, money, and the name of justice, and only requires you to do something for him, this is problematic no matter how you think about it, and the hidden risks must be unimaginable.

"If there are such rules among aliens, but he didn't tell you, this constitutes contract fraud, and they deliberately deceived you."

"If there are no such rules among aliens, then aren't they more barbaric than humans? Why do you listen to them?"

Hal fell into deep thought after listening to Schiller's words. Schiller continued: "Again, the matter is done now. Just like all victims who have been deceived, the most important thing is not shame and self-blame, but to recover the losses."

Schiller threw the green crystal in his hand to Hal. After Hal caught it, he looked around.

Suddenly, he found that when he focused his attention, the energy in the crystal spread along his arm. In less than a second, he turned back into the Green Lantern with green light all over his body.

"Now, you are free, Hal."

Schiller looked up at Hal who was floating, looked into his eyes and said, "You know what? I once asked Batman a question..."

"What question?" Hal also looked into Schiller's eyes.

"Whose justice is it that you want to enforce?"

Hal floated in the air, and his face gradually became serious and resolute while thinking.

He did not have a bizarre and tortuous life like Batman, but was just an ordinary person who was kind and determined. Therefore, the answer in his heart told him that the justice given to him by anyone else was actually just a powerful force covered with a cloak of justice.

"Actually, I don't know yet... I don't know what justice is."

Hal gave an answer that Schiller did not expect, but he continued: "But I will use this power to pursue this answer. Before I get the answer, I will never stop, even if I spend my whole life for it."

Speaking. Hal slowly fell down, and the green light on his body faded, but it did not disappear, but returned to the crystal again. Obviously, after strengthening his belief, his control over the green light energy has reached a new level.

"Your ideal is great, and I believe that you can practice justice with your willpower, but the only problem is that we may need a lot of money in the process of practice..."

"Funds? But I don't have money..."

Just when he said this, Hal paused, and then his eyes fell on the green crystal on the table.

"But fortunately, I have prepared our start-up funds."

"Ready, how did you prepare..."

"I said, they breached the contract first, so it is appropriate for us to charge a little liquidated damages."

Hal suddenly had a bad premonition, he stared at Schiller and asked:

"...How much did you collect?"

Hal saw Schiller bend down. A large box was dragged out from the bottom of the coffee table - there were green crystals piled up like a mountain.

At the headquarters of the Green Lantern Corps, the corps commander in green uniform stood in front of a huge lamp furnace, turned his head to look at his subordinates, and asked a little confused:

"The power of the lamp furnace in the headquarters has been consumed very badly recently, do you have any clues?"
