Trajectory of Dawn in the World of American Comics

A low-key luxury car was waiting in the underground parking lot of Lai Sheng Bar, and the driver with a deadpan stared straight ahead, waiting for the order to start.

In his hand lay a loaded pistol.

The buddy in the co-pilot seemed to be listening to music, but in fact he was checking the surveillance of several nearby blocks on the small tablet in his hand, and there was a rifle with a folded butt by his leg.

Driving in Gotham is a must have, because you never know what's going to happen at the next intersection.

If you're lucky, it's just a dog rushing into the street. If you're unlucky, a group of big brothers with guns will try to snatch your car. In that case, you have a gun so you can "reason" calmly with the big brothers.

The elevator not far away opens.

Thomas Wayne was walking out of the elevator with his loyal butler. The old man took off the hat on his head and handed it to the butler Oswald behind him. He opened the car door and asked with a smile:

"Where's Hal?"

The penguin butler behind him whispered:

"The young man said that he couldn't get used to being in the organization. He wanted to work with Luther's team, so he stayed here today."

"Well, let him go."

The old man didn't force it, he sat in the back seat and said to his housekeeper:

"You don't have to go with me this time, stay in Gotham to help maintain the bar and integrate the resources of the black zone and other news. If I haven't come back after seven days, you will follow Martha's instructions to do things in the future."

"Master, you just saw the young master."

Penguin Butler whispered:

"Perhaps there is no need to be so anxious. Mr. Mason didn't urge you. Besides, it's Ms. Talia's territory, so maybe we should keep a low profile."

"It's true that he doesn't rush me, but one day late for me means one day less time to prepare."

Half of the old man's face was hidden in the darkness of the carriage.

He looked at the butler outside the window and said:

"The assassins who lost Lei Xiaogu needed a Batman to lead them, Talia couldn't control the ancient organization, so Mason called me.

If I don't go, then this heavy mission will fall on the shoulders of another person. "

These words made Steward Oswald completely give up the idea of ​​persuading Thomas.

He knew that the old man had made up his mind, so he could only watch the car disappear at the exit of the underground parking lot. He also knew that at the same time, Ms. Talia al Ghul must have been on her way back to the European headquarters. s plane.

The next demon leader will be decided between these two.

"beep"

Before the penguin butler could finish his prayers to the old master, the phone in his pocket rang. The five-short loyal butler took out the phone and glanced at it, then put the phone on the phone with strange eyes and put it next to his ear.

"Oswald, tell me the truth!"

Damian's voice rang on the phone, together with the sound of a motorcycle driving at high speed, the next generation heir of the Wayne family asked sharply:

"Has Thomas gone to duel my mother? For the bloody chieftainship? I just found out that grandfather's sword is missing!

One of them must have taken it! "

"Master Damian, this is a matter between adults, and you should not participate in it."

The penguin butler persuaded:

"The old master has already promised that no one will be killed in this duel, and he just wants to stop."

"He will definitely say that, my mother is not his opponent at all! He can beat her too much with one hand!"

Damian screamed:

"Find a plane waiting for me at Gotham Airport as quickly as possible, I have to go back! Hell, that sword was given to me by Mason, and the League of Assassins is my grandfather's legacy!

Neither my grandfather from another world nor my mother has the right to snatch it from me! "

"Well, with all due respect, young master."

Oswald said hesitantly:

"This duel was chosen by the elders of several factions. Although you have direct blood, you can't interfere with the elders' decision. In fact, even your mother can't do this."

"Those old people are playing with their hearts, and I didn't see them daring to jump out to be monsters when my grandfather was around!"

Rice was almost roaring.

he shouted:

"I order you to find a plane right away. I'll be there in ten minutes. Don't worry about my safety. I won't be so stupid as to go alone."

After speaking, Rice hung up the phone.

On the way from Wayne Manor to Gotham Airport, the daring little guy with high art skills dialed another number while steering the motorcycle.

He said to the other side:

"Two barrels! Are you busy? Come with me to Europe, right away."

"No."

Erdu, who was wiping the saber alone in the brightly lit box, answered as concisely as ever, which made Damian grit his teeth in anger.

But he could only persuade patiently:

"You are also a Master Assassin trained by Lei Xiaogu, and now the second Demon Chief is about to be born, you must be on the sidelines! Remember to bring your guns, the more the better."

"If you want to persuade me to stop the duel in front of the Lazarus Pool with you, then you can give up."

Er Tong said indifferently:

"That's the rule set by your dead grandfather. Whether it's Thalia or the old man, if you want to control that organization, you must pass cruel trials."

"Don't be stupid. The elders of the various factions who have already shown signs of rebellion will not allow a second demon leader to appear. They are afraid of my grandfather, and naturally they will also be afraid of his successor."

Damian said coldly:

"I'm sure whether it's Thomas or my mother, when they break through the layers of trials set by the masters and reach the final area, they will definitely be plotted by them.

Two barrels, I'm not trying to stop that duel!

I'm trying to make sure it's fair.

I think Mason also doesn't want to see his plan being interfered with by a group of treacherous villains, right? How can he have time to play tricks with them?

It's for the good of Team K.

Pack your things now and follow me to Europe.

I know how to sneak into the secret room of the Lazarus Pool under the castle. We will ambush there in advance, and I will kill anyone who dares to make trouble! "

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a few seconds, and then Ertong said:

"I underestimated you, Damian, it seems that you and Mason have grown up a lot after going out for a while, and you have learned to use your brains in situations. All right, I will apply to Mason for permission to act.

But this time you have to follow my command the whole time, understand? "

——

"The stars in this world are brighter than mine."

On the top balcony of the Afterlife bar, in the shadows around the edge of the dark air conditioner, Hal Jordan in his bomber jacket was sprawled over the railing.

He enjoyed the night wind with a little tipsiness, while looking at the stars above his head.

Although the hazy weather in Gotham City makes "stargazing" here completely a crime for your own eyes, but for Hal, who has come to a different world but has not been assigned a specific task, the current leisure time is not a problem. good.

This handsome young man drank a lot of wine in the bar just now, and he already had several pieces of paper with phone numbers written on them and scented notes in his pockets.

But he had no intention of going out and having fun tonight.

He just wants to be alone quietly, and think about his second life, which seems to be quite dazed at the moment.

But no matter how you think about it, you can't get around the green ring he is holding in his hand at this time. It is because of this ring that flew into his hand before the end of the world that Thomas Wayne and Mason Cooper brought him into the world. here.

And he also heard the story of Green Lantern and the entire Justice League in this world.

The heroes of this world use their powers to make the world a better place instead of destroying it like the bastards in his hometown.

This alone is enough to make Hal full of admiration and kindness for the heroes of this world.

"I might be able to become a Green Lantern too, but only if you give me some reaction!"

Hal looked at the dim green light ring in his hand with a headache.

It's been in this half-dead state ever since he got it.

The young ace pilot doesn't know what's wrong, but he can't find a living Green Lantern to ask for the trick to activate the light ring.

"Xing Xing, I am willing to use my life as a woman to make a wish, and I hope that a Green Lantern will appear in front of my eyes right now."

Hal took a sip from the wine bottle, half-jokingly made a wish to the stars in the sky, and the moment he swallowed the drink, a green light swished down from the sky.

It happened to be suspended in front of Hal Jordan's eyes.

The guy in front of him, wearing the Green Lantern Corps uniform, suspended in a ball of green light, and wearing a domino blindfold waved him friendly, making the young man almost spit out the wine in his mouth.

no?

Is the wish of the stars in this world so effective?

Then let me change my wish to hope for world peace, okay? Wait, I seem to have exchanged something really incredible for this opportunity just now. Fuck!

Green Lantern Hal Jordan hovers in the shadows of the rooftop of the Afterlife Bar.

He looked at the young man in front of him, who was very similar to him in body shape, but had a completely different face, and looked remorseful as if he had lost something precious, and finally looked at the dim green light ring in his hand.

It should be that this thing suddenly appeared in Gotham, which triggered the ring of the Green Lantern in this world, and Hal had to leave his girlfriend and rush all the way from the seaside city.

"Hey buddy, where did you get that ring in your hand?"

Green Lantern frowned and asked:

"I don't remember that there is a second Green Lantern in this sector of the universe, have you registered on Oa Star? A wild Lantern like me?

May I have your name? "

This series of questions made Hal Jordan somewhat unable to answer.

He looked at the floating lantern man in front of him, and knew that this was his space-time alien in this world.

Even the hairstyles of the two are almost exactly the same. Fortunately, when he came here to relax tonight, the old man asked him to drink the disgusting compound soup, otherwise the two people would have lost their minds when they met.

Seeing that the man in front of him did not speak, Green Lantern Hal Jordan was about to take some "forced measures".

It was a very serious matter about the possibly lost ring, and he had to make sure that the unlit ring in this guy's hands was obtained in a legitimate way.

"Hey hey, don't get excited! Don't do it!"

Seeing the other self clenched his fist and using the green energy of will to transform into a prototype of a cage, the pilot Hal immediately threw away the bottle and waved his hands to explain:

"I said! It's just the first time I've seen a living Lantern Man, so I'm a little surprised. I didn't steal this ring, it flew right in front of my eyes.

I was flying over the east coast at Mach 7 in my super cool craft and I remember saying, I'm not afraid of anything for my world, and here it is.

I swear I'm not lying. "

"Huh? A pilot? Cruising at Mach seven?"

Howl scoffed at the lie.

He already decided that the guy in front of him might have drunk too much, so he jokingly said:

"Why didn't you say that you were flying an alien spacecraft?"

"Indeed! It was modified from the alien cockpit that crashed into Metropolis, and it was designed for the sole purpose of destroying the doomsday weapon that the Atlanteans used to destroy the world.

To be precise, it is an attack mode of mutual destruction. "

Pilot Hal explained very seriously:

"If necessary, I can even recite its flight parameters to prove that I am not lying, so, put down the shiny ring in your hand, please?

I don't want to get into a fight with anyone here.

Also, do you know how to activate this thing? "

He held the dim lantern ring in his palm, and said to Green Lantern Hal:

"Teach me."

"Your ring is different from ours!"

Green Lantern heard that the guy in front of him was getting more and more outrageous, and didn't want to waste time with him, but when he was about to arrest him, he suddenly found that the lantern ring in this guy's hand was only roughly similar to his own.

The two differ in many details.

It's like a mold is carved out, but there must be a feeling that one of them is wrong.

This discovery surprised Green Lantern.

He released the energy of will in his hand and stretched out his hand to try to pick up the ring in front of him for a closer look.

But before touching the ring, he felt that part of the energy of the lamp ring that belonged to him disappeared strangely and was transferred to the energy-depleted ring in front of him.

Then, under the astonished gaze of the two Hals, the dim light ring shone brightly. It floated from the pilot Hal's hand, circled around him again, and then hovered in front of Hal's eyes.

"Intelligent life is locked! Fearless from the dead world, you have a strong will to survive destruction and remain unyielding, welcome to join the Green Lantern Corps."

The indifferent voice sounded from the ring, making Hal's heart skip a beat.

Oh, it turned out that the reason for not responding before was because the battery was out! Wow, does such an advanced thing still need to be charged?

"this"

Originally full of doubts about the pilot Hal, the Lanternman Hal saw the activation of the Lantern Ring, and immediately realized that the guy talking nonsense in front of him was really the one chosen by the Lantern Ring.

This discovery made him immediately dispel his doubts about the person in front of him.

without him.

As a first-class smart weapon in the universe, the Lantern Ring judges from the level of will whether a life is qualified to become a Lantern Man. Under this judgment, any disguise is meaningless.

Lantern Ring recognized him as a man of firm will, and this was the call of the Green Lantern Corps as a positive organization, which was enough to show that the man in front of him was a fearless man.

Seeing the pilot Hal still looking at the ring stupidly, the Lanternman Hal couldn't help reminding in a low voice:

"What are you doing in a daze? Read the words!"

"ah?"

After all, the pilot Hal was experiencing this kind of scene for the first time, and he was at a loss just like the embarrassed man lying on his girlfriend's hot body but didn't know what to do next.

He could only look at his other self with pleading eyes as if asking a senior.

Lantern Man shrugged, feeling like he had met a fool.

He drew his voice and said:

"Okay, read it to me."

Then, in a solemn gesture, he raised the ringed hand to the sky, motioning to the other Howl to do the same, and he read:

"The day is bright, the night is dark"

"Your word is wrong!"

Pilot Hal shook his head violently as soon as he heard the beginning, and he said to Lantern Hal:

"It said you mispronounced it, not this."

"ha?"

This time it was Hal's turn to be confused.

How come you are wrong about the green light oath that is available in all 3,600 sectors of the universe? Are you doing something special? Or came here to pick a prick?

Can I, a genuine Lantern Man who debuted for two and a half years, give you the wrong oath?

Doesn't this mean smashing your own job?

But pilot Hal can't hear his complaints.

Because he has already begun to clumsily try to communicate with his peculiar lantern ring. Under the guidance of a voice, he maintained the posture of the lantern oath and whispered:

"Hope is dim, despair is boundless; the way to come collapses, and the land of dreams will never be lost. The night is scattered, and it is difficult to hide my light; the lonely brave is here, and I will not surrender!"

At the beginning, I still read it in a low voice, but the last few sentences have become a roaring announcement.

The huge green light blade surrounds the pilot Hal to form a battle suit. When the light dissipated under the dumbfounded gaze of the lantern man Hal, the buddy in front of him has already put on a set of will armor that is completely different from his tights.

Uh, what about this comparison?

The statement of high emotional intelligence is the difference between the liberals and the main fighters.

The low EQ directly shows that in front of the green light armor in front of him, Hal feels like a perverted stripper in tights.

Everyone is a member of the Green Lantern Corps, why are your clothes so cool?

And what the hell is going on with your oath?

If I hadn't seen you armed with will energy with my own eyes, I would have thought you were a ruthless person from the Red Lantern Corps. Why are you so murderous? Who is going to persecute you?

"Thank you, Hal, for helping me with this last step, as I knew you would."

The pilot Hal, who had completed the gorgeous transformation, was no longer in a daze at this moment.

He knew what it meant to have the ring chosen for him.

It doesn't want to die silently along with that dead world, it wants to light another beam of light in this dark age, he is a member of the Green Lantern Corps.

But it's not the Lantern Man of this plane.

He comes from a dead world, the last warrior sent by his hometown before it is destroyed, to challenge the hopeless future to death.

"Who the hell are you! Don't make it look like we know each other well!"

Hal the Lantern is going crazy.

Why does this guy in front of me speak like his own family? The problem is that everyone is really unfamiliar, buddy, can you tell me your name anyway?

Hal Jordan, who had just completed the "induction ceremony" as if he had guessed what was in his heart, laughed.

He raised his left hand to let the energy of his will wrap himself into the cool alien fighter plane before. At the moment when he started at ten times the speed of sound, he reminded his other self in this world:

"In the future, if you meet someone you can't beat, call me. Everyone is your own brother and will definitely help you. In addition, you'd better go back and stay with Carol, don't be taken advantage of by that bastard Kyle

This is a rule of thumb, although we are Green Lanterns, we don't want to wear green hats, do we?

Come home, I'm going for a run in outer space.

Don't come after me.

You can't keep up with my speed.

After all, I escaped from the doomsday on my legs."
