The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

In the core center of the headquarters with flashing green lights, Hal sat quietly in front of the screen, watching the information.

Just now, his ring reminded him that he can download the required information into his ring, and call the green light energy at any time to transmit them to his brain.

But Hal didn't press the confirm button.

From birth to growing up, Hal thinks he is a good person, although he is not the kind of saint who thinks about others anytime and anywhere, regardless of his own feelings. However, the belief of helping the weak and saving people from fire and water has always been engraved in his bones.

From childhood to adulthood, many people have received his help. He has rescued children who fell into the water, stopped robbers on the street, and helped beggars on the streets when he was not rich. The Holy Mother, who is everywhere, is just an ordinary good person with a conscience.

Therefore, when faced with many important choices, he will also feel hesitant and hesitant.

In his view, the earth is his hometown, where there is everything he loves, and he should make every effort to protect the earth.

During the period when he just became a Green Lantern, because of the excitement of having just acquired superpowers, he was so excited that he sent a lot of information to the Green Lantern network. When he came back to his senses, he also discovered that abnormal, so began to feel a little guilty.

So, when Schiller approached him, hoping that he could cooperate with the plan and get some energy from Green Lantern, he agreed.

As a Green Lantern, he knows better than Schiller that the energy of the Green Lantern is not a non-renewable energy source. Even if Schiller drains half of the energy of the Green Lantern Headquarters, as long as the time is long enough, the energy will slowly increase back.

But now, standing in front of the confidential information of the core center, Hal realized that what Schiller wanted was far more than just energy.

He wants the entire Green Lantern Corps.

Until now, Hal has sorted out the context of everything.

In the beginning, Schiller asked Hal to ask for help from the Green Lantern Corps and bring back a team as much as possible, just to let these Green Lanterns see the danger of Gotham and be trapped here.

When they are stuck in the quagmire and their energy is about to run out, they will definitely choose to ask for help.

In this way, most of the combat power in the headquarters will be mobilized to Gotham. After they arrive, Schiller will use some other methods to shoot them all down, and then let all the Green Lanterns, including the leader of the Green Lantern Corps, , are all in danger of being wiped out by the group.

And at this time, Hal is standing up, trying his best to turn the tide, help the building to collapse, and save everyone from the fire and water.

This is equivalent to the fact that Schiller brought in countless powerful supporting roles, but in the end it was only to set off the protagonist Hal, and gave him a great contribution.

This credit will not only allow him to directly skip the novice stage of Green Lantern and become an official Lantern, but also allow him to rise to the top in the Green Lantern Corps, directly skip the long process of accumulating military achievements, external training, etc., and step into the core.

Thinking of this, Hal sighed in his heart, he thought of what Alfred said in the mayor's manor.

When we need to put a spy in a high position, we generally do three things.

Number one, destabilize the region and keep most of the upper echelons busy trying to quell the chaos.

Second, let other agents create some troubles, and these troubles can only be settled by that spy, and provide him with an opportunity to rise to the top.

Third, take advantage of the chaos to kill one or a few important people in the high-level, so that there will be vacancies in the position and make room for him.

In the end, we no longer need to force them to accept the spy's top position, but let it go all the way.

If we don't succeed this time, then we will wait for the next opportunity quietly. In a huge organization with complex personnel relations, there will always be such an opportunity that allows us to put the right person in the right position.

Hal suddenly realized, to his absurdity, that Alfred had told him the answer long before all these events began.

Everything Schiller has done can be traced, or in other words, in their field, these are theorems like mathematical formulas, which have been practiced, improved, summarized, and condensed by countless people.

Hal doesn't know if the Green Lanterns will do the same, but there's no doubt that Schiller's plan has succeeded.

And the only variable is his choice.

Hal sat in front of the table, looking at the cold light of the screen reflected on the smooth table top, the data flowed on it, and the light spots flickered, like the surface of a lake reflecting starlight.

He knew that the reason why Schiller didn't tell him all this in advance was to give him a chance to choose.

Hal didn't understand why Schiller did this, why he tied the result of investing so much manpower and material resources to his thoughts.

Can he really make such an important decision? Can he really be expected to choose the future of the earth?

Batman has the same doubts.

In the manor, he was still sitting on the sofa with his back straight, and he refused to let his back touch the back of the sofa. He asked:

Actually, you can do all of this by yourself. You also have the Green Lantern Ring, and you are also a member of the Lantern Corps. Your acting skills and abilities are better than that man named Hal. More importantly, you will definitely choose Earth.

Why are you so sure? Schiller asked rhetorically.

Because if it weren't for that, you wouldn't be planning all of this.

Batman's answer is the perfect correct answer. Schiller took so much effort, went around such a big circle, and promoted Hal to the top because he hoped that someone could control the Green Lantern Corps and let the Green Lantern Corps stand on the side of the earth.

But Batman's question is also very reasonable. Schiller can do all this by himself. He can plan such a big event by himself, let himself be the protagonist, and make his debut when all the Green Lanterns are beaten. Become a hero who saves them from dire straits, and then accept the pursuit of everyone and step into the power core of the Green Lantern Corps.

Batman also has no doubt that Schiller will do better. Although Schiller often says that he is just an ordinary person, when facing Hal, he will also say that Hal is the most willpower in the world. Man, he's nowhere near Hal.

But his way of doing things is doomed. He doesn't need such strong force. On the contrary, those intrigues and intrigues are more important.

Batman felt that if Schiller successfully entered the leadership core of the Green Lantern Corps, then soon, Oa Star would become Earth.

“Batman, I think, I’ve told you before that you’re a little too efficient, so goal-oriented, that you sometimes ignore side benefits.”

Schiller put down the wine glass, and then explained: Indeed, if I do it myself, the efficiency will be much higher. I don't even need to direct this play. I just need to follow the normal process, go to Oaxing to report, train, and then quickly Quick, you can climb to the top of the Green Lantern Corps.

But if that's the case, I'm still me. For me, this is just a task. It has no training effect and is very boring. I am already on the side of the earth. This matter will not let me What's changed.

But Hal is different. Although he is still young, he has unlimited potential. More importantly, he has not been brainwashed by Green Lantern's so-called belief in peace and justice, and there is still room for transformation.

Since you can take this opportunity to train a hardcore faction on the side of the earth, why not?

Constantine on the other side of the sofa asked again: The question is, why are you so sure that Hal will choose Earth? Even if he is an Earthling, Green Lantern's ability is so strong but there is no price to pay. What if he is tempted? ?”

If I'm not mistaken, he should be in the headquarters of the Green Lantern Corps now, and he may have found some confidential information, but why did he suddenly change his position when he believed in the Green Lantern Corps' rhetoric?

Schiller smiled, took the bottle over and poured the wine for himself, watching the golden liquid slowly flow into the glass, he said calmly: Don't tell me, you think you are born perfect.

Of course I... Just as Constantine was about to admit it, Batman squinted his eyes and looked at him. The words came to his lips, but were swallowed back.

To cover up his embarrassment, Constantine coughed twice, and then said, Well, even if we're not born perfect, what do you want to express?

I want to say that we can give him some time. When he realizes what the essence of the problem is, he will stand firmer than anyone else with his compatriots.

The nature of the problem... Batman dragged his voice slightly, which is not common, obviously because he thought of something, he said: I remember, you told a story last time, not long after the birth of the universe. , a group of races called the Guardians of the Universe appeared...

Yes, I remember. I should have told you that they are an intelligent race, although they are not that intelligent in many cases.

Batman seemed to understand something, he said: Any kind of intelligent creature cannot be absolutely impartial.

To a certain extent, the smarter you are, the more self-interested you are. This sentence is true, because smart people can more clearly analyze the pros and cons of something, and then obtain the greatest results at the smallest cost.

However, promoting justice, maintaining peace, and helping the weak are things that require a lot of investment, but have almost no results.

A lot of people call heroes who are willing to do these things 'fools,' because what they do looks really stupid.

Paying your own money, energy, and time to those weak people who should have nothing to do with them does not meet the requirements of venture capital theory at all.

Because it's not an investment in itself. Batman continued: If you want to get something in return, then don't be a hero.

This made Constantine look sideways, he paused, shrugged, and said as if talking to himself: Well, you are all heroes, only I am a rotten person... I am a rotten person , I just want to pay back.

Of course... Schiller changed the subject: Although this kind of spirit is worthy of admiration, a complete hard journey is not worth advocating. Rewards can inspire heroes to exert greater strength. Therefore, my job is to Behind this great spirit, let’s talk about something practical…”

It's far away. Schiller took a sip of wine, and then said: I don't need to do anything to guide Hal to reject the other party, because what those people represent has never been justice, and it is not fair at all.

There is no real justice in the universe, only power exists, and since everyone is a power, I hope we are stronger.

In the Green Lantern Corps headquarters, Hal didn't press the confirmation button in the end, he just stood up, stared at everything on Oa in front of the window, then turned around and left the core center.
