The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Just like what a weather forecaster who appeared on the big screen said before, tonight is the night with the most green lights in Gotham.

But these green lights are not willing to stay on the traffic light poles peacefully, but are running around in the city like headless chickens.

They don't know what kind of abyss this city is, and they don't know what kind of darkness is hidden in those narrow alleys, dark corridors, and flickering buildings.

At first, the activities of these strangely dressed people did not attract much attention, because there are too many weirdos in Gotham, but a rumor spread among the truck drivers with the widest range of activities. They said that Gotham Haunted.

These guys with green light are ancestor evil spirits resurrected from the ground. They came to sanction this city and wanted to eliminate all chaos and evil here.

When the citizens of Gotham City heard the news for the first time, their reaction was not to pray, not to flee towards the church in a hurry, but to pick up guns, fill the magazines, open the door, walk into the street, and face All green objects within the field of vision were bombarded indiscriminately.

We are here to save this city! A Green Lantern shouted: We are here for justice, and Green Lantern will purify all filth!

boom!

The bullet hit the faint green light. Although it didn't penetrate the green light's shield, it sent the Green Lantern flying. A freckled little boy reloaded the rifle in his hand. He said:

Save this city? Sorry, this city doesn't need anyone to save it.

Then, he raised his gun and aimed at the Green Lantern again, and the young Green Lantern shouted with a puzzled face: Are you crazy?! We can save this city from these evils, we I’m here to save you, don’t you want peace?!”

Seemingly in a good mood, the newsboy pointed his gun at him, smiled mockingly, and said:

You say you want to purify the filth, but I am one of the filth you said. When I was born, no one came to save me, but after I worked hard to live a good life by myself, you wanted to purify me and give me The so-called 'justice'...

You may be talking about peace, but I don't need it.

I don't believe in peace and justice, I only believe in the gun in my hand, because in times of danger, it is not you who protect me, but it.

As he said that, he was about to pull the trigger again, but at this moment, another little boy ran out from the side, he also held a gun in his hand, and said to the freckled newsboy: Coppert Boss is looking for you! Hurry up and answer the phone!

As he said that, the boy glanced at the Green Lantern lying on the ground, and said, Don't pay attention to these lunatics, they are full of justice and peace, what a ghost, who would say this in Gotham?

The newsboy also seemed to have lost interest, and left with his companion with a gun in his hand. After the Green Lantern got up from the ground, his arms were still trembling. He shook his head and said in a daze, ...Am I really crazy? ?”

The newsboy followed his companion through the narrow alley, and then got into a small shed. There was a telephone in it. He picked up the receiver and said, Hello? It's me. That's right. Everyone has got their guns. But so far, we haven't killed ghosts...

The light on them is a little troublesome. Ordinary bullets won't work. Boss, I heard that there is a good freezing gun. Can you get us one?

What? Investigate the location and deliver information? Please, don't do this, I will be 13 years old next year, and I can participate in the battle!

Okay, okay, I'll listen to you...Really? Okay! I'll inform them now!

After finishing speaking, the newsboy hung up the phone, and said to his companion excitedly: Go and call them over, Boss Cobbot said, let us be in charge of the investigation of the entire West District, and report the location of the ghosts, and they will come back. Someone has to deal with them.

The companion said with some frustration: So, we can't participate in the battle again? Why is it like this every time? We are not young anymore.

Stop complaining, the boss said, as long as we do well, he'll get us one of those state-of-the-art freeze guns to play with, it's awesome, I've seen people take it, put a green The fly was knocked down and turned into a big block of ice!

The two chattered and discussed, and soon, the companion ran out to deliver the letter.

This kind of scene didn't just happen among the children in the West End, but also in the children's network of the whole Gotham, and this kind of information was being passed on.

Cigarette boys, newsboys, flower boys, and peddlers, the most well-informed and top-of-the-line snakes in Gotham City, showed for the first time the power of a full-coverage intelligence network.

There are a lot of children in Gotham. In the past, most of the children had nothing to do, fighting cocks and chasing dogs on the street every day, doing nothing. It can be said that people hate dogs.

Since the original Kid King died, Coppert has taken over the network.

It has to be said that the Penguin has much more foresight in terms of strategy than the average gang boss.

The original King of Kids used children to make money, and let those parents exploit the little money from them, but Coppert saw another possibility of this network, which is much more powerful than making money. .

These hawkers who can be seen everywhere walk in the streets and alleys all the year round. There is nothing they don't know about the neighborhood, not to mention that many newsboys are still working as postmen. , Whose family and how many people go out to work, they are very clear, it is simply the best choice for developing the intelligence network.

In the past, this network was only in its infancy, and it was through this network that Schiller developed through Coppert that he immediately discovered Merkel's mistakes. Agents like Merkel are very good at tracking and monitoring. Sensitive, but he lacks vigilance against the peddlers selling cigarettes at the train station, and because of this, he was spotted as soon as he stepped into Gotham.

Coppert, who discovered the convenience of this network, couldn't wait for a chance to actually fight, and at this moment, the Green Lanterns descended from the sky.

The Green Lanterns who were defeated by Aisha's big move are scattered all over Gotham. It is really difficult to find them. Although they emit a clear green light, if you must hide, there are so many corners in Gotham. It takes time to find them all.

However, with the network of this group of children, it is different. These peddlers are best at getting into all kinds of weird places, because there usually means there will be shortcuts or hiding places.

Like the newsboy with freckles all over his face, no one knows better than him where there is a gap in the wall, where there is a dog hole, and where the basement of the house leads to the next door, because he relies on these information to deliver letters. The speed is fast, not only completing the tasks in the West District every day, but even going to the East District to grab jobs.

Under Coppert's command, these children were united, and after a while, information was handed in layer by layer. By the time they arrived at the Falcone Manor, Copott had already grasped the movements of all the Green Lanterns. Their number, clothing, appearance, and strength are all clear.

In a reception room of Falcone Manor, there was a huge map of Gotham on the wall covered with colorful pins. Cobblepot's short figure stood in front of the map, but he had a power that could not be ignored.

Go and tell those gunmen to drive them out, you don't need to kill them, just drive them out of those dark alleys.

A gang member behind Cobbot asked: Where are they going?

Copperpot's gaze fell on the center of the Gotham City map, he thought for a moment, and then said, Go to the central turntable.

After the gang members left, Cobbot stood in front of the map and pondered for a while. At this moment, the door was opened, and Alberto walked in and said, What's going on here? Did the professor send you a letter?

Cobblepot shook his head, and he said: No, but I can probably guess his intentions, do you remember that among the people who appeared in the corridor of the Arkham Psychiatric Hospital before, there were some A familiar face?

Is that the one named Hal Jordan? We seem to have seen him in a dream before.

That's right, it seems that he should be on the side with Professor Schiller, but he brought that group of strange people to fight against us. I think he should be the spy sent by Professor Schiller to the opposite side, and they What to do, after we drive the group of people to the central turntable, we will know.

Alberto nodded. Obviously, he was more in favor of Copperpot's proposal to gather people together, but he was considering another issue.

If the Green Lanterns were to fight on their own, although it would be better to destroy them one by one, the damage to Gotham City would be relatively large, and it would be troublesome to repair at that time. There is nothing wrong with plowing again.

Just when Alberto walked to the map and was about to look at the layout, Coppert turned and left. Alberto stopped him and asked, Where are you going?

I'm going to make a call, I have some things to arrange.

At the same time, on the main road leading to Gotham University, a car sped past, bringing up patches of snowflakes. speed up dash.

Harvey Dent, who was sitting in the co-pilot, looked at Victor who was manipulating the steering wheel, and said, Don't worry, it won't be such a coincidence, there just happened to be a ghost in Gotham University's laboratory...

But Victor's face was very gloomy, he rarely had such a serious expression, and he said in a low tone: No, what if? What if those weirdos happened to land near the Gotham University laboratory, just in time Destroyed Gotham University's power supply, just cut off the laboratory's power supply...

At the end of this sentence, Victor's voice began to tremble uncontrollably. He stepped on the accelerator again, and the car accelerated again. Harvey shook his head helplessly and said, I saw those green lights when they fell. Yeah, I've memorized all the locations, and I'm pretty sure Gotham University isn't included.

What if they can teleport? What if they can use magic? What if, what if...

Obviously, Victor has fallen into a paranoid state, he muttered non-stop, the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably, and his knuckles made a slight clicking sound.

His Adam's apple fluttered up and down, he kept swallowing, and his breathing became rapid. Harvey saw a kind of madness in his eyes that he had never seen before. This lawyer, who was always calm and rational, couldn't help but start Worried.

It seems that Victor, who has always been a gentle and funny gentleman, also has an unknown crazy side.

Harvey turned his head and looked out the car window. Through the snow, he saw the flickering light spots in the city, like the flickering eyes of monsters in the abyss.

He thought, maybe this city is like this, everyone who comes here has different personalities, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they are all lunatics.

But they use madness as a knife and never need to be saved.
