Chapter 416 Hal's Bad Luck (Part 2)
"How can I stay calm?! I'm glowing! And it's green!" Dick also shouted at him.
Obviously, he was a little confused about the current situation, just like a real child, he said: "Oh my God! I can't believe it, how can I go to school tomorrow? How can I explain to the teacher that I will glow overnight?!"
He said a little dejectedly: "Our school's management is very strict. We must have traditional hair colors. Even dyeing hair is not allowed. If the teacher sees that not only my hair has turned green, but my whole body has turned green, she will be angry and look for my parents!"
Hal was speechless. Obviously, he had no experience in raising children and didn't know how to deal with Dick's rather realistic but somewhat overly realistic logic.
"Also, I have to visit my biological parents at the end of this month. They are very old-fashioned people. They even use dark green for Christmas. How can I explain that I suddenly became greener than the Christmas elves?"
Hal stared at the ceiling of Wayne Manor. When he first got this ability, he had imagined how good it would be if he could get this ability earlier, but now he found that the minds of teenagers are the biggest mystery in the world.
Dick didn't seem to care about this magical teleportation ability, nor did he care whether he could control this powerful power. He only cared about his green light.
At this moment, Hal, who was deeply trapped in this trouble, suddenly had some different thoughts.
Is he really awake?
After obtaining the green lantern ring, an ordinary person should indeed be confused about his weird appearance when activating his ability, but Hal found that he didn't seem to have this feeling at all.
Even if he caused a big traffic jam because he was too much like the green light in the red and green lights, he still didn't feel confused about it.
At this moment, Hal suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, just like the horror that all humans feel when they find that they may be controlled by something. Hal, who was suddenly out of the green lantern ring due to an accident, found too many abnormalities that he had not noticed before.
Thinking of what Alfred said to him before, cold sweat soaked his back, and the thick pilot jacket could not make him feel warm.
What is he doing? Get the power of the aliens and report the intelligence here to the aliens? Is he bribed or controlled?
There is no doubt that even the fledgling Hal is a good person with a very correct outlook on life, and his strong will makes him not afraid to admit his mistakes and immediately find a way to make up for it.
He tried to move his body, turned the chair back, looked at Batman and said, "The problem may be more serious than we thought."
"Indeed, if you can't give Dick a plan to heal, then..."
"No, that's not what I mean!" Hal interrupted Batman. Batman was rarely interrupted like this. He looked at Hal silently, but Hal said to himself, "I think there is something wrong with this."
He sighed and said, "As you know, I accidentally got a green lantern ring that gives me magical powers. The person who gave me this ring was an alien who died with the crash of the spacecraft. He told me the existence of the Green Lantern Corps."...
"After that, the power of this ring allowed me to get in touch with the Green Lantern Corps. They told me the history of this corps. I was deeply moved and felt honored to be able to join such a team."
"The first official mission I received was to go to Gotham to investigate the advent of the yellow lantern. You all know what happened later."
"And the second task I received was to monitor the movements of the members of the Yellow Lantern Corps."
"In the information I received, the Yellow Lantern Corps was described as a very terrifying existence. They would interfere with the work of the Green Lanterns and bring destruction and fear to the universe."
"And the terrible monster I saw in the dream world before proved this, which made me more convinced that the Green Lantern Corps is determined to maintain the peace and tranquility of the universe."
"But, I don't know..." Hal showed a little hesitation, and said, "I may have leaked too much information to this mysterious Green Lantern Corps. I haven't even been to their headquarters, but just contacted remotely..."
"I am eager to complete the task, and I think I should report the cause and effect of this matter to prevent the evil members of the Yellow Lantern Corps from causing any harm to the earth, so..."
When Hal looked up, he saw Batman squinting his eyes. I don't know why, when he saw this expression, Hal had a bad premonition.
"Why do you think that the safety of the earth should be left to outsiders to guard?" Batman asked a very fatal question, and Hal was speechless.
"Have they told you the true origin of the Green Lantern Ring?" Batman asked another question, and Hal still couldn't answer it. He said:
"I heard that it was the first race born in the universe who created this force to maintain the peace of the universe..."
"That is to say, it is still created by intelligent creatures, with leaders, divisions of labor, different departments, bases, and various members..."
Batman crossed his arms and asked: "How do you ensure that the information you upload will not be seen by people who should not see it? How do you ensure that the leadership of this team has no ill will towards the earth?"
Hal shook his head, and Batman looked into his eyes and asked him: "Do you not want to answer, or do you simply don't know? I hope it's the former."
Hal felt his lips were a little dry, he pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "...I don't know."
"You didn't understand the nature, scale, personnel structure, and operating system of a company clearly, and you rashly joined it and put your personal All the data about your family, neighbors, and streets have been uploaded to their network..."
As Batman's tone became lower and lower, Hal's bad premonition became stronger and stronger, and at this moment, Alfred suddenly spoke up and said, "Grandpa, just now your university professor Professor Rodriguez called to ask about the situation here."
"He said he heard Aisha's scream and expressed his concern. He said he would wait in front of the phone until he confirmed that the situation here is safe. I think, in order not to let your respected professor stay up all night, you'd better call him back now..."...
Batman's air pressure has been extremely low, but after hearing Alfred's words, he was still silent for a while, then turned and walked towards the telephone table.
As soon as the call was connected, Schiller's voice sounded over there: "I guess you should have caught Hal now and are forcing him to question the Green Lantern Corps, right?"
"I didn't 'catch' him, nor did I 'forcibly question' him." Batman immediately denied Schiller's words, and Schiller immediately said: "Well, I think you should have asked Green Lantern Hal to sit on a chair and taken some safety measures for him."
"Then in the casual chat with him, I unexpectedly obtained some information about the Green Lantern Corps."
"What do you think of the Green Lantern Corps?" Schiller asked him.
"A group of aliens who may threaten the earth at any time and have already developed spies on the earth with ill intentions."
"As expected." Schiller said to the other end of the phone: "First of all, I have no idea why Hal appeared in Wayne Manor. Secondly, if you want to investigate the Green Lantern Corps, there is a best way, that is to start with the Green Lantern Ring."
"Remember the box I gave you last time? You should already know what's in it..."
After Batman put down the phone, he felt a little calmer. Now any violent means against Hal would not help the development of the situation. The most important thing is to deal with Dick's situation first.
During the time Batman was on the phone, Hal was still communicating with Dick, but the two of them were more like chickens and ducks talking.
Hal kept emphasizing that Dick should learn to be calm and learn to control his strength, but Dick was panicked by this abnormal state, and the two were completely out of the same channel.
When Batman came back, Hal sighed and said, "Although I admit that I am not a good teacher, I don't know how to teach a teenager to use the power of will. When I was ten years old, I might not even spell the word will correctly."
"I don't think I can teach him, but I don't know who else can teach him. If you want to teach him to control this power, at least you should have mastered it yourself."
"But the Green Lantern Corps' criteria are very strict. Only one in a billion people can meet the requirements. Where can I find another Green Lantern?"
Batman stared at him silently. Hal saw his eyes and said, " ...No, there is no way, and why don't you understand? The Green Lantern requires a lot of willpower, which is not something that ordinary people can achieve. "
Seeing Batman staring at him, Hal could only explain: "Well, if you have to say there is a trick, you must concentrate and show your willpower..."
"Although I got this ring from another alien, it took me a lot to get the recognition of the Green Lantern..."
Just then, a familiar green light slid through the window, Hal widened his eyes, and a ring emitting a faint green light quietly stopped between him and Batman.
Listening to the familiar oath of the Green Lantern Corps, Hal opened his mouth and said in surprise: "Wait a minute, I know that the Green Lantern ring will be reissued, but I haven't reported the damage yet, how come..."
Just as he said this, the ring emitting green light flew towards Batman, and like a pet dog waiting for its owner to touch it, it kept rubbing against Batman.
Just when Hal was surprised, something even more shocking happened. Batman slowly opened his mouth and said, "I refuse."
The green lantern ring stopped in mid-air, and then slowly floated out of the window of Wayne Manor at an extremely slow speed, looking back every three steps. Unfortunately, Batman did not regret it in the end.
"I'm just trying to see if this will really work."
Hal coughed a few times and said, "The chance of being chosen by the lantern ring is very precious. There may not be many such people in the world. You just..."
Just as Hal was talking, Batman left the hall. After a while, he came back with a box and sat on the sofa. Under Hal's gaze, he opened the box.
A light "clatter" sound came-
A pile of lantern rings were dumped on the table.
