The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 489 Codenamed Emerald

Hal was a little distraught. Although he had already planned to give up his identity as Green Lantern, when he thought about the recent events, he felt a sense of emptiness lingering in his mind.

What has he been up to lately?
It seems to have done a lot, cooperated with Schiller to complete his plan, fought with the citizens of Gotham, came to the headquarters of the Green Lantern Corps to take over the job of the adjutant, and then resigned directly in less than a day.

There were indeed a lot of things during this period, which made him feel a little tired, but in fact, none of these things achieved any results. He went around a lot and became an ordinary person again.

Must strength and justice coexist?Which is right, the pursuit of strength or the pursuit of justice?In the pursuit of power, must we give up absolute justice?Justice without power is just empty talk, and power without justice is just tyranny...

While thinking about this question, Hal walked back slowly. When he took off the green light ring, he didn't even think about how he should go back, but soon, he had no time to think about this question.

Just as he was about to return to his previous dormitory along the covered bridge, a group of people stopped him. The leader was a rather old Green Lantern. He said, "Sorry, but the deputy head invites you to go over."

"Deputy head?" Hal asked with some doubts.

"That's right, he led a patrol in the nearby sector before, and he just came back today, because he heard about your heroic deeds, and wanted to see you."

"Sorry, but I'm not a Green Lantern anymore, let me go." After Hal finished speaking, he wanted to pass through the crowd, but the Green Lantern in the lead stretched out his arm and blocked Hal back.

Hal looked into his eyes, but the leading green light was unmoved, Hal looked away, and said, "Lead the way."

If someone who is familiar with Hal is around him, he can see that his mouth has been pursed into a straight line, which is a sign that he is losing patience.

Walking through the covered bridge, he came to the elevator, and as the elevator went up, Hal saw that the entire Oa star city was peaceful, and everyone was performing their duties. The Green Lanterns shuttled in twos and threes among the strangely shaped buildings There was laughter and laughter, as if nothing happened yesterday.

Came to the corridor again, walked to the office door, the leading Green Lantern knocked on the door, and Hal walked in.

The temperament and appearance of the person standing opposite him was completely different from Tyrone's. He looked very refined, with light gray skin, but his limbs and facial features were exactly like those of a human being, and he wore a goggle similar to glasses on his eyes.

"Hello, my name is Owen." The deputy head said first, but Hal had gradually lost his patience, and he said, "Hi, I'm Hal, you've seen me, now I can leave here ?"

"Why did you leave here, Hal?" Although Owen used a question, there was no doubt in his tone, but more like a vague reprimand.

"You have just achieved impressive results, and you are called a hero by all the Green Lanterns. You led the Green Lanterns from the dark abyss and returned to their hometown. Why did you leave at this moment of celebrating victory?"

"Victory?" Hal asked. "You think that's a victory?"

"Why not? Isn't it a victory that you saved everyone, are the new hero of the Green Lantern Corps, and maybe even the greatest Green Lantern ever?"

As he said that, Owen smiled and took Hal's shoulders, and said to him: "It is true that there were some minor flaws in the process, but there is no doubt that this will be the most brilliant victory in your career."

While leading Hal forward, he took out a document from the desk next to him, and said: "I have received the order, and after two weeks, we will award you the honor, and you will get The Bright Badge of the Green Lantern Corps will also be selected as the best Green Lantern Warrior of this stellar year, and will be the first to appear in the military parade next year."

Owen raised his hand and described to Hal: "Do you know what an honor this is? All the Green Lanterns on this planet dream of it, and it represents the most glorious day in their careers."

"Applause, applause, praise, you will become a hero praised by people, and your heroic deeds will be left in the history books..."

Hal showed a sneer, and he said: "All the greatest Green Lanterns in history have to do this, right?"

The smile on Owen's face slowly subsided, he lowered his arm, let go of Hal, walked to the opposite side of him, looked into his eyes and said: "It seems that you come from a civilization that is a little clever, this reminds you Something about your hometown, right?"

"In that case, I don't want to go around in circles with you."

Owen adjusted the glasses on his face, then began to pace the room, he said: "Sinestro, the greatest Green Lantern ever defected from the Green Lantern Corps, this is a bad event that has never happened in thousands of years. "

"The leader of the Green Lantern Corps betrayed the legion, which made us a joke in the universe, and our prestige plummeted. Even the weak civilizations in the marginal sectors no longer welcomed us as before."

"We need a hero, a great and bright hero, to lead the Green Lantern Corps out of trouble!"

"Do you know, Hal? The current legion leader Tyrone is only in danger, he is not suitable for this position, and you, you are the best candidate for the legion leader."

Owen turned his head and looked out the window, where there were many Green Lanterns flying, he said: "You will take over this powerful legion, and all civilizations in the universe will respect you, and you will bring peace and peace to the entire universe. Justice, how glorious..."

"I reject."

When Hal's voice fell to the ground, it was like a thunderbolt exploding in the clear sky. Owen suddenly turned back and stared at Hal coldly. Hal repeated: "I refuse."

"Are you crazy?" Owen's voice became colder: "You will become the captain of the Green Lantern Corps, lead the entire Green Lantern Corps, and become the greatest Green Lantern!"

"I say it one last time, and I refuse."

Hal held up the green light ring that he had been pinching on his hand all the time, and he said: "When it first came to me, the peace and justice it described to me deeply moved me, let me find I have changed the direction of my life, and I feel that if I can dedicate my life to a great and just cause, then I will die without regret.”

"But now, you and your rhetoric make me feel deeply disgusted."

As he spoke, he threw the ring out. When the metal ring hit the metal armor on Owen's chest, the sound of the collision was more intense than the thunder, almost deafening.

Hal wanted to turn around and leave, but suddenly, a powerful shock wave of green light sent him flying. With a "snap", he hit the wall, and after landing, he collapsed on the ground.

"Ahem..." Hal coughed a few times, feeling that his ribs were broken. He saw Owen walking up with a grim face, and he heard that Owen's voice had become distorted.

"I don't understand why they chose you either! A country bumpkin from a poor country, who was lucky enough to save that group of trash, got their favor and wanted to make you a hero!"

"They? Cough cough... who are they?" Hal endured the pain, breathed heavily, and asked.

"You can't understand them, because you are just a lowly creature who can't even fly, and they, they are advanced civilizations born at the beginning of the universe, with advanced technology that you can't imagine, and they created the Green Lantern Corps , I call them, the guardians of the universe..."

Hal coughed uncontrollably, feeling a little short of breath, and the green light ring thrown by him suddenly flew up, trying to fly towards him, but was knocked away by Owen with a wave of his hand.

"I really want to kill you, but I can't disobey their orders, so you'd better be obedient..."

With a bang, the door was pushed open, and Tyrone, the head of the Green Lantern Corps, walked in. He said to Owen: "Stop! You are going too far! Owen!"

"Talon, do you want to disobey their orders?"

"They didn't let you hurt him." Tyrone glanced at Hal who was lying on the ground and said, "It's useless if you hurt him or force him to do something, if he can't call the green light ring on his own, then What kind of Green Lantern hero?"

"Stop pointing fingers at me, Tyrone, you should understand that this position should have been mine if you hadn't played some tricks!"

Tai Long sighed and said: "They gave you everything, so you treat them like gods, but have you ever thought about why they don't want you to be the captain of the legion? Because you are not a Green Lantern at all. Your ring is specially made, you..."

"Bang!" A thick green light beam hit Tai Long, sending him flying. The shield on Tai Long's body suddenly lit up, but Owen raised the green light and rushed over.

"Stop!" Hal yelled.

But Owen didn't intend to stop at all, he seemed to have been stimulated a little crazy, Hal lay on the spot, took a deep breath.

Then, he slowly floated up, a more intense green light emanating from his body, the ion shark that had never appeared since he pulled out the ring, emerged from his chest again.

The wound healed, the physical strength recovered, and the strength was full. Hal stretched his body in mid-air. The green light in his body was like a solid emerald, and also like a lush forest. It was different from everyone else, but more beautiful than them.

In an instant, a big green hand grabbed Owen and lifted him into the air. While struggling, Owen turned his head. Seeing the ring still floating in the distance and Hal's empty finger, he shouted:
"This is impossible!! You don't have a ring!! How is it possible..."

"Yes." Hal said as if sighing: "I don't have a ring, but I can still use the energy of the green light. So, what is the use of the ring? Who built it? Who is controlling it?"

"Greater justice..." Hal took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Thousands of words were swallowed by him, but he still didn't say anything in the end.

"Put him down, Hal! You can't kill people in the Green Lantern Corps headquarters, you will set off the alarm, put him down!"

Tai Long kept trying to dissuade him, but he didn't hold out much hope. Hal was clearly furious to the extreme. Anyone who was attacked by such a sneak attack would probably not let the murderer go.

But what surprised him was that the big green hand really let go, and when the green light dissipated, Hal landed slowly. He came to Tailong and helped him up.

Tyrone sighed, and said to Hal: "You go, if they come, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."

He looked into Hal's eyes and said to him: "I also come from a remote sector. My civilization has not yet established a country, but that doesn't matter. It will always be my home. One day, I will go back to Hal." get there."

"After returning to Earth, don't come back again." After finishing speaking, Tyrone turned and walked towards Owen.

But at this moment, he saw that Hal turned around, walked towards the ring, picked it up, brought it back to his hand, and asked:

"When is the award ceremony?"

Tai Long saw that Hal was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, with his back to the light outside, his expression hidden in the darkness.

Hal's eyes were half closed, and there was no anger or sadness on his face, only an unreadable calm.

In the manor, the night had passed, and when the light of dawn rose from the horizon, a ring emitting green light cut through the bright light and stopped in front of Schiller.

Schiller stretched out his hand, and the moment his fingertips touched the ring, countless messages were transmitted to his brain. At the end of these messages, he heard a slightly sighing voice:

"Hal Jordan is online, code name... Emerald."

　This entire DC plot, I am so excited, how about you?
