The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 486: The Folkways of Gotham City (Part 2)

The car was parked on the road in front of Gotham University, the tires rubbed against the ground and made a screeching sound. Victor quickly opened the door, got out of the car, and saw the brightly lit Gotham University dormitory. At that moment, he breathed a sigh of relief.

I've said it before, Gotham City is so big, even if dozens of people fall, it won't happen to hit Gotham University. Harvey patted Victor on the shoulder,

Victor took a deep breath and did not relax. Instead, he continued to walk quickly towards the university. He said, No, I'm not sure yet. The laboratory is far away from the dormitory building...

Harvey shook his head helplessly, but still kept up with him. The two walked quickly through the buildings in the university, through the teaching building, government affairs building and dormitory building, and finally came to the laboratory building on the east side.

On the surface, the laboratory building is completely dark, because it is already early morning, and Gotham University does not have the kind of students and teachers who will stay up late to do experiments, so the laboratory building is always very quiet at night.

However, this irritated Victor a little, and made him think of many bad things. Perhaps, he had rehearsed the occurrence of this situation countless times in his mind, and the madness brought about by that kind of paranoia almost overwhelmed him. .

Calm down, Victor...Victor! Come back! Harvey yelled from behind, and Victor had already rushed into the laboratory building.

Heavy footsteps sounded in the stairwell, and Victor rushed to the floor where the laboratory was located. Just as he stopped at the stairs, he saw a faint light coming from a door in the corridor.

Like a moth fascinated by the light, Victor walked straight towards the door. When he opened the door, he saw several children standing under the cold light cast by the freezer. Outside the cabin door, he looked up at his wife.

Hearing the movement, the children turned around, and when they saw Victor, they surrounded him chatteringly. Victor was a little at a loss. He recognized the newsboys who seemed to have been delivering letters to Gotham University.

Professor Victor! You are finally here, if you don't come we will fall asleep!

Yes, yes, we arrived ten minutes ago. We thought you would not come, and we were planning to leave.

What's going on? Why are you here? Where did you get the key to the laboratory?

The group of small newsboys began to explain again, Victor was a little headache from their quarrel, he pressed the head of one of the little boys and said: Don't quarrel, you talk first.

The little boy raised his head proudly, cleared his throat and said, Originally, we all lived in the guard room of Gotham University, which is the one at the east gate, you should know, that's where newsboys live.

About ten minutes ago, we received a call from Boss Coppert. He asked us to get the key hidden on the door frame, and then come to the laboratory to wait for you.

The door frame is so high, we piled up together and barely took the key down. He said that if someone invaded the laboratory, he would use the freezing gun next to them to freeze them.

You haven't finished yet! A little girl raised her voice and added, Boss Cobbot said, if the lights here are dark and there is no response when you press the switch, go to the next door and turn on the generator.

Yeah, that's right, he said what button to press!

We've been waiting here for a long time. No one came to invade, and the power was not cut off. We were almost asleep while waiting...

This group of children is very young, only about seven or eight years old. They are all a group of little bean dices, and they chatter like sparrows that have fallen in the snow.

Victor looked down at them, and when they heard that Victor didn't speak, they all fell silent, and everyone raised their heads and looked at Victor.

Victor squatted down slowly, hugged the leading little boy in his arms, touched his head and said, Thank you.

When Harvey walked in, he saw such a scene. After the two sent the group of children back to sleep, they returned to Victor's laboratory.

They stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the burning Gotham City, and the changing light outside the window made their shadows sometimes disappear. Harvey heard Victor say:

Many people say that this place cannot be saved. They say that the darkness here is hopeless and endless...

People say that it is Gotham people who make up this darkness, so chaos and madness are the consequences they deserve. Do you think they are really hopeless?

Harvey turned his head and looked at the buildings in the city. He said, I always uphold a belief that there is no place in this world that is hopeless. That's why I came here.

Environment creates man, and man creates environment. I don't know where the darkness here originally came from, but I know that when the long dark night falls, there is no light left, but man still creates fire to illuminate his own world. civilization.

Did you hear what those people were shouting? Victor looked at the scene outside the window, he said: They said they want to eliminate evil and maintain peace, they said they want to save this place...

Harvey shook his head and said, If Gotham could be saved that easily, I wouldn't have been dormant until now, accomplishing nothing.

Justice? Why do they define the justice of Gotham? If they have never lived in this city, never understood the people and things in this land, and cannot empathize with the people here, then their so-called justice, It will become like this...

As they said that, the two of them looked at the city at the same time, where the chaos continued.

They all understand that this is not the so-called pain in the process of change. This group of justice messengers who descended from the sky can do nothing but disturb Gotham people's good night's dreams.

Gotham's central turntable was bustling with excitement at this time. Tai Long held up the green light ring in his hand and shouted loudly: The green light is always bright, the light of all ages, and the joint shield!

All the Green Lanterns who were driven out of the central turntable stood together, and they activated the little green light energy at the same time to form a shield. Hal, who was standing beside Tyrone, shouted loudly: Where is Carol? ? Why didn't he come?!

He was attacked by a magician before! Tai Long replied: The magician seemed to find him through some curse mark. The energy in his ring was exhausted and he was unconscious!

Hal stretched out his hand, trying to concentrate, a rich green light bloomed from his hand, and Talon couldn't help but look sideways at it.

But at this time, their condition was very bad, the bat fighters above their heads kept projecting bombs, the gangsters output non-stop firepower, Clark watched from the sidelines, and the Green Lanterns didn't even have a chance to escape.

Concentrate! Shoot down that plane! Tai Long began to command, and the Green Lanterns concentrated their attention, firing green light waves continuously, but the Bat Fighter nimbly dodged.

At this moment, Clark heard Batman's voice from the Bat fighters flying past him: Attack!

No, I can't do it in the city center! That would ruin everything here. Clark said hesitantly.

Hands on, I can rebuild.

No, that will affect a lot of buildings!

I have money!

Clark was speechless, but seeing the Green Lanterns who were gradually organizing an attack, he also knew that it was time to act.

Clark opened his arms, and the blizzard swirled around him. With a biting cold current, he swooped down like a falcon with snow feathers. As he approached, Talon shouted: Concentrate on defense! Stop him !

The green energy converged in the direction of Clark's dive, forming a more solid shield, but the moment it touched Clark, the shield shattered.

boom!

Clark was like a human-shaped missile, and the aura around him blasted all the Green Lanterns away.

Faced with an almost irresistible force, many Green Lanterns don't even have the strength to stand up. Green Lanterns who rely on willpower to fight, once they start to feel afraid, they have almost lost all their fighting power.

Even Legion Commander Tai Long didn't have the courage to face Clark directly. He collapsed on the ground and slowly closed his eyes.

But at this moment, a more intense green light lit up beside him.

Hal floated into the air and faced Clark. Tyrone saw that the ring on his hand had started to flicker, indicating that he was running out of energy. He wanted to open his mouth to remind him, but he heard Hal say:

You can't hurt them, back off!

The biological force field around Clark became stronger and stronger, Hal's figure was crumbling in the storm, all the Green Lanterns on the ground were extremely nervous, and despair spread.

But suddenly, the rich green light pierced through the snowstorm like a sharp sword, and a somewhat unreal green shark swam over from the clouds.

Tai Long opened his eyes wide and said, Green Lantern Ion Shark?! How is this possible??!... Ion Man! Hal is the new Ion Man!

The green shark slowly swam into Hal's body, and a green sun rose from the snow.

Not to be outdone, Clark also emitted strong sun rays all over his body. Just when the two huge light spheres were about to collide, a small black fighter jet passed through the rays.

In the bat fighter, a phone was thrown out, and Batman said to Clark: Next, there is your phone!

Clark's momentum froze. After he picked up the phone, he was a little stunned, but soon, the harsh phone rang, and Clark subconsciously picked up the receiver and put it to his ear.

Hello? ...Uh, Professor, sorry! I was delayed by something! ...Really? You've been waiting for me for a long time? God! I'm so sorry! I almost forgot what I'm here for !

Okay, okay, I'll go over right away...ah, don't be angry, I'll explain to you later, I'll go over right away!

After hanging up the phone, Clark restrained the light on his body, and said to Hal: I have something urgent today, next time you wait for me!

After speaking, he flew away. Hal put his hands on his hips in the air, watching his back, but the Green Lanterns below had already cheered.

They shouted the name of Ion Man, and Hal slowly landed in the center of the turntable. After having enough green light energy, he waved his hand and brought everyone back to the headquarters.

Landing on the ground of the headquarters, Tyrone breathed a sigh of relief. He stepped forward and said to Hal: Excellent recruit, your performance is beyond my imagination.

He glanced at Hal's chest, there was a looming Ion Shark logo on it, and he said: It seems that the Lantern Ion Shark of the Green Lantern has chosen you, and you have become a unique Ion Man.

As he spoke, he took a deep breath, then sighed again and said, After Sinestro, the original head of the Green Lantern Corps, defected from the Legion, I was also ordered in the face of danger, and I underestimated various situations.

He looked around at the Green Lanterns and said, Hal, without you, we would all be lost there. You saved everyone and deserved to be promoted. From today, you are officially a Green Lantern.

Everyone cheered, but Tai Long pressed down with his hands, and then said: In addition, the original adjutant Carol was seriously injured, and I am afraid that he will have to go back to recuperate for a while. I hope to invite you to be my adjutant to make up for it. I'm not working enough.

Just when Hal wanted to be humble, Tyrone said: Please don't refuse, I have a hunch that you have the potential to surpass your predecessors, perhaps, you will become the greatest Green Lantern ever...

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand. Hal paused on the spot and sighed, but he still walked up and held his hand. The two hands were clasped together, and the belief in the eyes of both sides was even stronger. firm.

At the same time, in the Rodriguez manor, Schiller was leaning on the back of the sofa, and Batman on the opposite side looked at him and asked:

So, you deliberately created so many coincidences and made such a big circle, what exactly is it for?

Schiller turned sideways, leaning on the armrest of the sofa and asked, Remember that mysterious list that let CIA agents search the entire East Coast?

You mean the Philby List? What has that got to do with it?

Schiller smiled, and when he looked up, Batman was sure that he saw a light called wisdom in the professor's eyes.

Perhaps we're about to have a 'Hal's List.'

In the headquarters of the Green Lantern Corps, the injured and exhausted Green Lanterns all dispersed. After the Legion Commander Tyrone handed over the work to Hal, he also left.

Among the central core of the headquarters, only Hal was left. He sighed with some emotion, and looked around. There were all devices and screens that he could not understand.

But when he turned his head to look to the right, he suddenly found that a screen was lit up.

He stepped forward and found that it seemed to be the office interface that Tai Long had forgotten to close. Just when he was about to reach out to touch it, a line of words popped up on the screen: Encrypted information, permission confirmation...Confirmation completed.

Hal didn't do anything, and saw the ring on his hand light up, and immediately after, the entire screen was filled with dense information.

On it, there are detailed deployment maps of all sectors of the Green Lantern Corps, and detailed personal information of all official Green Lanterns.

Harry's heart skipped a beat.

A series of pictures flashed before his eyes, the dark corridor of the mayor's manor, Aisha and Dick's enlightenment course, the mysterious and old butler...

He remembered that at that time, among the courses taught by Alfred, there was a skill called...Self-cultivation of a spy.

Abducted back again.
