The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

In the dark night, in a room on the second floor of Wayne Manor, the lights flickered faintly. Hal raised his hands and stood in the center of the room. He turned his head and saw the face of an old man.

I know you have a strange ability that can disappear and reappear immediately, but according to my observation, it takes a certain amount of time for you to activate this ability. Do you think you disappeared faster, or I pulled the trigger faster?

If the few people living in Wayne Manor heard what Alfred said, they would be very surprised, because this old butler seemed to be a different person, he had never spoken to this house in such a cold tone. Nobody on the estate has said anything like that.

In the eyes of most people, Alfred will always be the old housekeeper who smiles and carries the plate, stands by the table to set the table, or cleans the museum shelf with a duster.

But it can be seen from his current posture that it is definitely not the first time he is holding a gun. What he holds in his hand is a double-barreled shotgun with a solid wood grip. The long barrel is illuminated by the light A chilling cold light was reflected, and the muzzle of the gun was pressed against Hal's waist.

Hal swallowed, he didn't dare to move at all, just like Alfred said, it takes a certain amount of time for him to activate the green light ability, under normal circumstances, this time is so short that it can be ignored, but the most deadly The point is that the green light ring is luminous.

Once Hal uses the energy of the green light, the green light ring will emit green light, which will spread all over his body in an instant, but even if it is a very short moment, there is such a time, Hal has no doubt that as long as he There is a gleam of light from the ring, and the trigger is pulled.

Hal didn't dare to bet on whether the green light could block his waist at the moment the bullet was fired, because if not, he would be cut off in the middle. The green light can indeed make Hal recover quickly, but this self-healing ability is If there is an upper limit, being cut in half is definitely not included.

You are Bruce's butler, aren't you? Hal asked, he wanted to ease the atmosphere, but Alfred didn't answer him, he just pushed the shotgun forward, Hal closed it hard Take a look and say:

Okay, okay, don't be like this, do you know the origin of this child? She is not a human, but a monster...

Hal suddenly heard a click behind him, that was the sound of the trigger being pulled, great fear overwhelmed him, after a cold sweat, he found that the expected pain did not come, Alfred was just vain Pulled the trigger.

I know a lot. Alfred stared at Hal in front of him and said, Much more than you can imagine.

His tone was always cold, so that Hal could not hear his emotions at all, Alfred continued: I know, you treat me as an ignorant old housekeeper, otherwise you would not dare to invade this manor like this .”

I'm not trying to invade, I'm just...uh!

Hal was shot again, he shut up decisively, and then he heard Alfred say: If your parents didn't teach you to make an appointment in advance and go through the front door when visiting someone's house, then I think , you should have remembered it today.

Hal put his hands down, he sighed, then turned around, faced Alfred, looked him in the eyes and said, I'm sorry, Mr. Housekeeper, I know it's wrong to break into a private house, and I know it's A very dangerous and disrespectful behaviour.

But you have to allow me to explain, Aisha is not actually...

Seeing that the barrel of the gun was slowly raised between his eyes, Hal raised his hands again. He took two steps back slowly and said, Okay, let's not talk about this.

He also discovered that as long as Aisha's life experience was mentioned, the old butler didn't want him to talk. As he expected, Alfred also looked into his eyes and said: The butler is obliged to help the master with all the things. Children's problems, including the possible doubts and infamy of their life experience...

I think you don't want to be one of these background stories. Alfredra made a long ending, and Hal understood what he meant. If he wanted to leave here alive, he had better keep his mouth shut. , Swallow this secret into your stomach.

He took a deep breath, and then said, Well, let's not talk about this issue, I really just want to make sure that her abilities beyond ordinary people will not endanger the safety of ordinary people...

After finishing speaking, Hal didn't care whether Alfred could understand or not, he began to explain on his own: The yellow light has always been the biggest threat to the green light, although I have never met a real yellow lantern devil, But the Green Lantern Corps takes them seriously.

It's the same this time. Hal sighed and continued, When they learned that the head of the Yellow Lantern Corps and the Lantern Beast had come to this place together, they thought about sending a powerful Green Lantern here to deal with it. these questions.

However, all this happened too quickly. After the resolution is over, the matter is also over, so I can only stay here for finishing work.

Whether it's for the safety of the universe or for the safety of ordinary people, I have to do this.

Your name is Hal, isn't it? Alfred asked suddenly.

Hal nodded with his hands on his hips, and Alfred looked into his eyes and asked Hal, What do you think is the cause of all this?

Hal felt strange about this question, he scratched his head, and said in a puzzled way: The cause? Actually, I don't really know why, I just received an order suddenly, saying that the people from the Yellow Lantern Corps came Earth, want me to deal with them...

Then, when I came to Gotham, I was drawn into a dream for no reason, and then I started fighting with that monster. In the end, I don't know how I won the fight, but I just won...

Suddenly, the Yellow Lantern Beast turned into a little girl, and the leader of the Yellow Lantern Army didn't know where it went...

Hal said helplessly: Actually, I didn't know what happened from the beginning to the end...

Then you report to the so-called Green Lantern Corps like this?

I... Hal was choked, and Alfred said with some contempt: When you don't know the cause, process, or even the complete result, you choose to report to your superior ?”

What shocked me is that your superiors even gave you orders based on your incomplete information...

Green Lantern Corps... Alfred snorted softly, and he said, If you only have this level, you'd better go back to where you should be and don't get involved in the affairs of the earth.

Hal put his fingers on his forehead, he didn't know how to describe the old butler in front of him, the simple and elegant British accent made him seem to be talking to a nobleman, but what he said was ruthless.

I'm also an Earthling! Hal emphasized.

Earthlings who sell Earth's information for a living?

Hal was choked again, he gestured helplessly, and then said, I'm doing this for the safety of the earth...

That's what every spy says.

Alfred lowered his eyes, not wanting to look at Hal's stiffened expression, he said: One day, a group of foreigners found you, they gave you money and power, and then told you that you should be in your The way to maintain peace in the mother country is to tell them everything there is in detail.

You take money to do things, complete tasks, and after you are arrested, you tell the judge that you are just keeping the peace...

As he said that, Alfred's eyes fell on the green light ring, and he said, ...but keep silent about the benefits you have obtained from them.

In the first half of my life, I've seen too many people like that.

Are they guilty? Maybe they are not entirely to blame. Many people really believe that what they do can bring peace to their country.

But are they innocent? The huge benefits gained from selling out the country made them override the ordinary people who suffered because of it. In the end, he was the only one who gained peace and enjoyment.

Hal's expression gradually became solemn from the initial helplessness, and Alfred turned his gaze to his eyes again, looked at him and said: Human beings rush for money just because it is the general equivalent in our society, and it can bring Give us the greatest enjoyment.

But how do you know that the thing you're wearing doesn't play such a role in the universe?

Perhaps, what seems very powerful to you is garbage and residue that is not even sugar-coated to them. They only need to provide you with a little bit of garbage, and you will hand over the interests of the motherland...

Stop talking! Hal closed his eyes. He took a deep breath and pressed his thumb against the ring on his hand. It was very obvious that his fingertips trembled a little. Alfred then said to him explain:

If you don't remember who you are, where you came from, who you're going to work for in the end, and can't carry out this goal to the end, then the only thing waiting for you is to be betrayed by everyone...

Hal's mood seemed to be fluctuating violently, he turned his head to one side, after a while, he took a deep breath, and in an instant, the green light of the ring lit up.

At this moment, he didn't hear the sound of the trigger being pulled, Hal pursed his lips hard, just when he thought he was about to leave this place, he could find a quiet place and think about these things by himself When the question came, suddenly, the door of the room opened, and a small black figure appeared outside the door.

Hal didn't see her movements clearly at all, and the moment the light of the green light ring spread to his arm, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm.

Ah!!! Hal let out a scream, and looked down, Aisha with a mouthful of fangs was biting the wristband of his arm. The thick wristband could not stop her fangs at all, and the blood was flowing from her leaked between the teeth.

Hal made an instinctive arm swing, trying to throw Aisha off. As a result, his teeth pierced through the wrist guard, and he slid down with the wrist guard. When it slid to his hand, it wrapped around Ha Er's hand.

Hal was in severe pain, and he kept shaking his arms. When the wristband was thrown off together with the little girl, the ring on his finger that emitted green light was taken down by the wristband.

Hal gritted his teeth and covered his bleeding arm. He looked at the princess bed. There was no little girl on it. The bulge of the quilt was a doll stuffed inside. This was a trap from the beginning.

The moment he realized this, he suddenly discovered that the green light energy that was spreading into his body had disappeared. When he turned his head, he saw that the green light ring that had fallen off drew a high parabola——

There was a ding bell, the crisp sound of metal touching the floor, Hal was relieved, fortunately, the ring would not be broken.

He just wanted to go over to pick up the ring, but found the black muzzle of the gun appeared in front of his eyes again, Hal slowly raised his hands.

At this time, an immature hand slowly approached the floor, and then picked up the ring. Dick, who had just been woken up, rubbed his eyes while looking at the ring in his hand.

Hey, kid, put it down, it's not a toy... Hal stretched out his hands to dissuade him, Dick who had just been woken up was drowsy, his eyes hadn't even opened yet, a green light spread directly to his body superior.

Wait... what is this? Dick asked vaguely.

Hal slapped his forehead and said, No!!!

I seem... feel like I'm going to do this? Dick muttered vaguely, and Hal said as if he suddenly remembered something, No! Don't teleport! This ability is difficult to control... ...

With a bang, Dick hit the wall.
