"Sit down."
As if he were at home, Linn gave full play to the spirit of the owner. He invited Hal, the owner of the house, to sit down. He also placed the eaten ice cream box behind the sofa. Hal's face twitched when he saw it. One pump.
Still, he sat down.
He really wanted to hear what Lin En wanted to say to him. After all, although he came here this time, although he still looked like a mental patient, he obviously didn't come to fight with him. On the contrary, he always had something to explain. look like.
"When did you get that ring?"
Hal didn't expect that Linn would ask her a question as soon as she came up, and it was such a question.
The green light ring is special and is the source of Hal's own power. Hal believes that Linn, who is sitting opposite him, must also know this. Judging from the question he is asking now, this guy seems to have some interest in this ring. Other understanding.
After thinking for a moment, Hal answered his question: "It was about this time last year. You..."
"So, have you been to space? Have you met those... colleagues of yours?"
With a sharp look in his eyes, Hal thought: He really knows something!
Gently turning the ring on his hand, Hal remembered the time when he was selected by this ring. Suddenly one day, when he was familiar with the use of the green light ring, he was teleported to A strange place on an alien planet.
Later, Hal learned that that place was the headquarters of all Green Lanterns in the universe. There, he saw thousands of people wearing street lamp rings like him. At that time, almost everyone was more powerful than him. Being more powerful, he can use the energy of the green light ring more skillfully.
There are more than 3,000 of these people, including Hal himself. They are collectively known as the "Green Lantern Corps" and they are the most powerful force in the universe, almost none of them.
But, how did Linn know this?
What on earth was he trying to say?
"Why do you know this, Lynn, you might as well just explain it."
"Ah, that's okay too."
Lin En also put up his hands as if unintentionally and turned the ring on his hand.
Um? !
As expected, Hal's eyes fell on Lin En's hand and saw the ring in Lin En's hand.
His intuition told him that the ring was the same as the green light ring!
"How could you..."
"You were a little distracted during class."
Lin En smiled: "In this universe, the kind of ring on your hand is not the only one, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black and white... I'm going too far. Cough!"
After achieving his goal and deceiving Hal, Linn said directly: "I'll tell you directly.
Green Lantern Corps, the place you once went to, your companions, should be dead.
Don't understand? Then let me explain in detail, your Green Lantern’s lair has been destroyed..."
"impossible!"
Hal was anxious and stood up directly, frowning: "You have no idea what a powerful legion that is, you have no idea about them..."
"I know."
Lin's tone remained calm: "Believe me, I know."
…
In the next period of time, Lin En told the fledgling Hal in detail the story about the energy and origin of the light ring. It was mixed with a lot of various memories and things that were difficult to remember and couldn't be rounded off, so it was all nonsense. fill.
Fortunately, Hal himself is also a half-empty person, so what Linn said happened to be able to argue with what he himself knew, forming a certain degree of complementarity.
Therefore, this led to the fact that Lin En was obviously talking nonsense for some purpose, but Hal was convinced. After all, a considerable part of what Linn said was completely true.
"Then, now..."
"Now you can try to communicate with your companions, but I advise you not to do this, because... eh? Where is your power bank?"
power bank?
Hal was obviously stunned for a moment, and then realized that Linn should be talking about the lantern that recharges the energy of the light ring.
"You even know this...why are you looking for it?"
"I want to try, can you charge my ring~"
Hal did not agree to Lin En's request and let Lin En borrow the lantern. After all, he still had doubts about Lin En. The two had only met twice in total. The first time was when he was beaten and robbed. The light ring, the second time around, was not a pleasant experience either.
Moreover, compared to this, Hal was more concerned about the news about the [Parallax Monster]. It was the sludge monster that Linn called, the thing that destroyed Green Lantern's home base of Oa.
"I-We! Let's find it! Destroy it!"
For a member of the Green Lantern Corps to become the owner of a ring, the first step is to be [audited] and [approved] by the ring. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the owners and users of the Green Lantern Ring have relatively complete spiritual levels, not so much. People who lack courage.
However, there are no absolutes, and the green light is not omnipotent.
Linn was very optimistic about Hal's courage at this time, and had no intention of laughing at him, but...
"Hahahahaha... you seem a little... poof! Hahahahahaha..."
Linn laughed so hard that she didn't know why. It took a long time before she regained her breath and patted Hal on the shoulder despite his obvious resistance.
"If you can defeat the Parallax monster by yourself, then the movie will definitely not be bad."
Hal has already developed a certain resistance to Linn's...unintelligible words. Currently, this guy is always going crazy more often than normal.
"Anyway, your idea is a good one, and it's really suitable to find a place where no one is around to clean up that thing, so as not to scare people. It keeps sucking and sucking, and it becomes more and more difficult to fight, but~
It seems that you and I can't meet the conditions, at least not now. We still have to seek help from powerful people. "
"Strong people? You mean..."
"Brave young man~! Accept the guidance of justice and challenge the unknown fear deep in your heart!
Green Lantern from Beach City, Hal Jordan, are you ready? "
"I...what...what preparations?"
Lin En suddenly solemnly recited a lot of unclear lines, with a sonorous tone and complicated gestures. It looked like it was a mysterious power inheritance ceremony in an ancient legend. Hal was immediately confused. .
After all, Hal at this time is no longer the same person who believed in science.
Drowsily, Hal also followed Linn's movements and sat upright, with his back straight and his eyes bright.
"I-I'm ready!"
"good!"
Linn nodded, and under Hal's gaze, he "twisted" a piece of paper out of the air and took out a pen.
"Sign here and pay the membership fee."
"……ah?"
"Ah, what, here, sign, and then pay the big membership for one year, and then you will become the uncle's camp... No, then you will become the eighth member of the glorious Dynamic Seven!"
For some reason, Hal instinctively resisted when he heard the name of this organization.
This is too frustrating.
"This organization is..."
"Ha, I'm just kidding, they are actually the Justice League! How about it, it sounds very powerful, doesn't it?"
Linn waved his hand: "Okay, you sign first.
crooked? Old bat... Just listen to me first, I've helped you get a member! "
……………………
More than half an hour later.
After Batman provided location information and guidance, Linn took Hal, who was still confused and eager, to a secretly built...
In front of the three-story building.
"Is this the base of the Justice League?"
"Well... the old bat said that the three floors above are a lie. There are several floors below, a large space. That is your base, and this is only temporary. Okay, not much to say. Say, come in with me.”
You... were keenly aware of a certain loophole in Lin En's words. Hal was confused, but did not show it. He just followed Lin En silently and walked towards this unprepossessing three-story building.
Compared with what it looks like from the outside, the inside of the small building is much more complicated. Following Batman's instructions, Linn took Green Lantern Hal Jordan through two roads that looked ordinary but were actually very high-tech. After the gate, we came to a very technological passage.
At the end of the passage, there is an all-metal door.
"If this place is only used as a temporary site, it would be a bit... exaggerated."
Hal is not someone who has never seen the world. He just doesn't know much about the mysterious world. This does not prevent him from evaluating the basic cost of the things currently seen in this place from the perspective of an ordinary normal person. .
Frankly speaking, that is money that he will never earn in his lifetime.
However, Lin En didn't look surprised, and walked into the passage minding his own business.
Naturally, Hal didn't have time to think too much and followed quickly.
Puff pound!
"Alibaba! Afanti! Open Sesame!"
The way Linn called the door was always like this, and it made no difference whether the door was made of wood or a high-tech metal door with three layers of lead, explosion-proof, shock-proof and pressure-proof inside and outside.
No movement was heard inside. There seemed to be some mechanical buzzing inside the metal door, and it slowly opened to both sides.
Walking in first, Lin En's movements were still chic, and it didn't look like it was his first time.
Hal stood at the door and hesitated for a moment, pursed his lips, glanced behind him, and walked in.
…
What is visible to the eye is a very large and vast space, which is estimated to be several hundred square meters. However, in such a large place, there is only a large black metal table, surrounded by several chairs of the same style and material, which makes it appear that Extremely empty.
The entire space seems to have not yet been completely built. In some places, the space is marked out, in some places some small platforms are placed against the wall, and in other places it is difficult to see clearly because there is obviously insufficient light here.
Before Linn and him came in, there were already people here, but there seemed to be only one person, sitting on one of the chairs, with his back to them.
"Old Bat, I brought you the man. You promised me, please let him go..."
"What are you acting again! What did I promise you? Who should I let go?"
"Haha...that's not it. That's it. I'm thinking that your family has a big business and it doesn't hurt to throw something away. So don't look for the person who stole things. Maybe he has an extremely difficult life. I just want to Satisfy your basic life, right~"
Ignoring Linn at all, the man sitting on the chair stood up, turned around, walked out of the dark shadows, and stood in front of Hal.
"Hello, first time meeting. You are the Green Lantern, right? I am..."
"You're Batman!"
When it comes to the most famous superheroes in the entire world, this one should be firmly in the top two.
After Hal became a superhero, among the information that Hal found, Batman appeared the most frequently, even higher than another one with a greater reputation.
"Hello!"
Hal couldn't help but become serious: "I am Green Lantern, a new member of the Justice League!"
"Justice League...that's right! Welcome to the Justice League."
Calmly, Batman agreed.
"Old Bat, where are the others? I saw them just now."
"What you just saw was multi-angle video communication. Linn, can you change a mobile phone? You don't need the money."
"Short! Very lacking!"
"Yeah. You are indeed lacking."
Batman and Lynn seem to have a very good relationship, but they quarrel whenever they meet. They don't seem to be as... dangerous as the legend says? dark? Scary?
…
Sitting on one of the chairs, Hal noticed that Linn was not sitting here, but had brought a beach chair.
"Ahem, do we... have any other members?"
Seeing that the other two people were silent and seemed to be thinking about something, Hal couldn't help but ask.
"Of course."
Linn replied on behalf of Batman: "You are the Justice League. If two people form an alliance, the game won't start, so at least there must be ten of you!"
"Don't listen to his nonsense."
Batman said calmly: "Currently, there are only eight people in the Justice League, not counting him."
It seemed a little difficult to speak, but Hal still asked: "Why, Linn was not included?"
"Um?"
Batman looked a little surprised: "Why, do you think it would be a good thing to let this person join in?"
"Of course not!"
"Hey! I'm still here!"
Lin En jumped up like a carp, wanting to prove his appearance, but at this time, the metal door opened again.
"As expected, I was the first one to arrive. Hello, I...Lynn, you are here too."
Cyborg walked in.
Hal looked a little surprised. This was the first time he saw a living talking robot with his own eyes.
This guy looks very strong.
After Cyborg arrived, not long after, almost within a minute, Green Arrow and The Flash also arrived.
Similarly, when the two people came in, they first noticed Lin En in the corner, looking very surprised.
In another five minutes, Neptune arrived. He seemed to have a good relationship with Lin En.
Three minutes later, Diana came too.
"Lynn, long time no see."
"Zeus! God's Domain! You know where they live, right? Tell me quickly!"
"Tell you what to do so you can kill them~"
"Eh~ This is boring."
Zeus? god? !
Hal was shocked again. Is this Diana... a god?
Hal, who had been observing everyone, once again noticed some details. The Sea King just now was obviously a little uncomfortable when he saw Diana, and the same was true for Diana. Although she didn't say anything explicitly, the two of them had a tacit understanding without any communication. .
At this time, there were seven people in the room, not counting Linn, and all the chairs were occupied.
This is the Dynamic Seven... Bah! It's all the members of the Justice League, right?
What a terrifying force!
When Hal was sighing, the buzzing sounded again, and a round opening opened on the ground next to the table, and a new chair rose from it.
Is there anyone else?
At the same time, the door opened again.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Red cape, dark blue combat uniform, and the obvious S logo on the chest...
"Superman-?!"
Hal couldn't help but exclaimed.
It turns out that I am really the eighth member of a group of seven...
"Okay. Everyone is here."
Batman stood up.
"So, this is all the members of our Justice League.
For the first gathering, everyone has arrived. "
