Chapter 484 Codename Jade (Part 1)

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

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

But Hal did not press the confirmation button.

From birth to adulthood, Hal felt that he was a good person. Although he was not the kind of saint who always considered others and ignored his own feelings, he would sometimes act on impulse and act on his own, quarrel with his parents, and quarrel with his friends, but 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 once saved a child who fell into the water, stopped a robber on the street, and helped beggars wandering on the street when he was not rich. He was not a saint who saved the world, but just an ordinary good man with conscience.

Therefore, when facing many important choices, he would also feel hesitant and confused.

In his opinion, the Earth is his homeland, where everything he loves is, and he should make every effort to protect the Earth.

During the time when he just became a Green Lantern, he was excited about his superpowers and sent a lot of information to the Green Lantern network. When he came to his senses, he also found the abnormality and began to feel a little guilty.

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

As a Green Lantern, he knew better than Schiller that the Green Lantern energy was not a non-renewable energy source. Even if Schiller drained half of the energy of the Green Lantern headquarters, as long as the time was long enough, the energy would slowly increase.

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

He wanted the entire Green Lantern Corps.

It was not until now that Hal sorted out the context of everything.

At 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 put all the Green Lanterns, including the head of the Green Lantern Corps, in danger of being wiped out.

At this time, Hal stood up, turned the tide, saved the building from collapse, and saved everyone from the water and fire.

This is equivalent to Schiller pulling in countless powerful supporting roles, but in the end it was only to set off the protagonist Hal and give him a huge credit.

Imagine

This achievement will not only allow him to skip the novice stage of Green Lantern and become a formal Lantern, but also allow him to rise rapidly in the Green Lantern Corps, directly skipping the long process of accumulating military merits, going abroad for further studies, and stepping into the core in one step.

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

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

"First, destroy the stability of the area and make most of the senior officials busy calming the chaos."

"Second, let other agents create some troubles that only the spy has the spare energy to deal with, providing him with an opportunity to get promoted."

"Third, take advantage of the chaos to kill one or several important people in the senior positions, so that the position will be vacant and make room for him."

"Finally, we no longer need to use tough means to make them accept the spy's promotion, but let it go naturally."

"If this time is unsuccessful, then we will wait patiently for the next opportunity. In a huge organization with complex personnel relations, there will always be such an opportunity for us to put the right person in the right position."

Hal suddenly found that what he felt was absurd was that Alfred had told him the answer long before all these events began.

Everything Schiller did had a traceable trace, or in other words, in their field, these were theorems like mathematical formulas, which had been practiced, improved, summarized, and condensed into essence by countless people.

Hal didn't know whether the Green Lanterns would also use this method, but there was no doubt that Schiller's plan had succeeded.

And the only variable was his choice.

Hal sat at the table, looking at the cold light of the screen reflected on the smooth tabletop, with data flowing and light spots flashing on it, like a lake reflecting the starlight.

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

Hal didn't understand why Schiller did this, why he wanted to tie the results of such a large investment of 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 question.

In the manor, he still sat on the sofa with his back straight, unwilling to let his back touch the back of the sofa at all. He asked:

"In fact, you can do all this by yourself. You also have a green lantern ring, you are also a member of the lantern group, your acting skills and abilities are better than that person named Hal, and more importantly, you will definitely choose the earth."

"Why are you so sure?" Schiller asked.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!

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

Batman's answer is the perfect correct answer. Schiller spent so much effort and went in such a big circle to promote Hal to the top because he hopes that someone can 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 a shining appearance when all the Green Lanterns are beaten to pieces. Become a hero who saves them from dire straits, and then accept the pursuit of everyone and step into the core of power 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 strongest willpower in the world. Man, he is far inferior to Hal.

But the way he does things is doomed. He does not need such strong force. On the contrary, the intrigues and intrigues are more important.

Batman feels that if Schiller succeeds in entering the leadership core of the Green Lantern Corps, then Oa will soon become an Earth ball.

"Batman, I think I have told you before that you are a little too efficient and goal-oriented, so much so that you sometimes ignore the side benefits."

Schiller put the glass down and explained: "Indeed, if I do it myself, it will be much more efficient. I don't even have to direct the play. I just need to follow the normal process and go to Oua Star to report, train, and then... Quickly, you can climb to the top of the Green Lantern Corps."

"But if that happens, I am still me. For me, this is just a task. It has no training effect and is 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 very 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 we can take this opportunity to develop a hardcore person who stands on this side of the earth, why not?"

Constantine on the other side of the sofa asked again: "The problem is, how can you be so sure that Hal will choose Earth? Even if he is an Earthling, Green Lantern has such a strong ability without paying a price. What if he is tempted? ?”

"If I guessed correctly, he should be in the headquarters of the Green Lantern Corps now, and may have found some confidential information. But he believed in the Green Lantern Corps' rhetoric before, so why did he suddenly change his position?"

Schiller smiled, took the wine bottle and poured himself some wine. Watching the golden wine slowly flow into the glass, he said calmly: "Don't tell me that you think you are born perfect. "

"Of course..." Constantine was about to admit, when he saw Batman narrowing his eyes and looking at him. The words came to his lips and were swallowed back.

In order to cover up his embarrassment, Constantine coughed twice, and then said: "Okay, even if we are 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 with his compatriots more firmly than anyone else."

"The essence of the problem..." Batman trailed off slightly, which was not common, obviously because he had 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 many times they are not so intelligent."

Batman seemed to understand something. He said: "No intelligent creature can be absolutely selfless."

"To a certain extent, it is true that the smarter you are, the more self-interested you are, because smart people can more clearly analyze the pros and cons of something, and then obtain the maximum results at the minimum cost."

"However, upholding 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 do these things ‘fools’ because their actions look really silly.”

"To spend your money, energy, and time on weak people who should have nothing to do with them is simply not in line with the requirements of venture capital theory."

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

These words made Constantine look at him sideways. He paused, shrugged, and said as if talking to himself: "Okay, you are all heroes, only I am a bad person... I am just a bad person. , I just want to give back.”

"Of course..." Schiller changed the subject: "Although this spirit is worthy of admiration, a complete journey of hardship is not worth advocating. Rewards can inspire heroes to exert greater power. Therefore, my job is to Behind this great spirit, let’s talk about practicality..."

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

"There is no real justice in the universe, only power. Since we are all powerful, I hope we can be stronger."

In the Green Lantern Corps headquarters, Hal did not press the confirmation button in the end. He just stood up and stared at everything on Oa from the window, then turned around and left the core center.
