The operation of the Green Lantern Corps is actually based on a permission system. All Green Lanterns recognized by the Corps can obtain the permission token, which is the Green Lantern Ring.
However, there is a threshold for using this permission token. You must have strong willpower to drive the Green Lantern Ring and the Green Lantern energy. In other words, it is not something that anyone can use just by picking up a Green Lantern Ring.
Generally speaking, even if a Green Lantern loses their Green Lantern Ring, it will not cause too much trouble because the person who picks up the ring cannot use it. They do not have enough willpower to drive the ring and the energy inside.
But obviously, the current situation is an exception, and it all starts with the working principle of the Green Lantern Ring.
To use the Green Lantern Ring and energy, Green Lanterns must use their own willpower to drive it. After sending the command to use it, the Green Lantern Ring will judge whether the willpower is sufficient to drive it. If it is, then it will start working, which means transferring energy to the Green Lantern.
Now, when Hal activated the Green Lantern energy, he wanted to use teleportation. He sent this command to the Green Lantern Ring, and after inspection, the ring found that he had this permission and could use the ring and energy, so it started working.
The energy had been sent out, covering Hal's entire palm and half of his arm, but at this moment, Aisha bit him.
The reason why Green Lanterns fear the yellow light is that Parallax was originally trapped in their power battery. Now, Parallax not only came out but also turned into a human girl. In theory, the Green Lantern energy should no longer fear the yellow light.
However, this does not mean that the Green Lantern energy can pass through the body of another Lantern, Aisha. Aisha bit Hal's arm, and the Green Lantern energy rushed to the half of his arm, but it collided with Aisha's body. Regardless of whether she is a pure human now, at least some part of her comes from Parallax. The Green Lantern energy cannot be compatible with the body of the yellow Lantern Parallax, so it was blocked.
The blocked Green Lantern energy did not merge with the Green Lantern, so it naturally did not produce the effect that Hal wanted.
What's even more coincidental is that Hal's action of throwing the Green Lantern Ring caused it to fly out and be picked up by Dick.
Dick was not Nightwing yet, nor was he even Robin. He was just an ordinary kid studying at school, at most a little better than other kids in acrobatics. He could not have the willpower to drive the Green Lantern Ring.
But as mentioned earlier, Hal had already sent the command and unlocked the permission to use the Green Lantern energy with his own willpower.
In other words, if the Green Lantern Ring is compared to a safe, Hal has already opened its door with a password but handed it over to Dick. Dick is the lucky one who picked up the safe. Since the door has been opened, he does not need to unlock it again and can directly take what is inside.
The only problem is that before Hal threw the Green Lantern Ring away, he gave the last command to teleport, and the first thing Dick did after putting on the Green Lantern Ring and receiving the Green Lantern energy was also teleportation...
Thanks to the reliable security measures of the Green Lantern Corps, the teleportation ability of the Green Lantern will not be stuck in the wall. If there is an obstacle in front of it, it will either pass through it or hit the wall with a "bang."
Dick himself could not control this energy, so he was directly hit on the wall.
Fortunately, the Green Lantern energy will provide a full-body energy shield to its host. After being hit on the wall, Dick did not feel any pain or injury, but he felt a little dizzy when he fell to the ground.
Alfred's face looked even worse.
And Aisha's reaction was even greater than Alfred's. It is unclear whether she was hurt by Hal's arm-swinging action or scared by the sound of Dick teleporting and hitting the wall. She was stunned for a moment, then opened her mouth.
Hal had a very bad premonition, and then in an instant, this premonition came true.
Under the dark night of Gotham, an unimaginable and intense scream, like a thunderbolt exploding in a quiet winter day, pierced the night sky of Gotham--
"Dad--Dad!"
Here is the translation of the Chinese fanfiction:
!!!
!!!
!!!"
At this moment, Batman, who was searching for clues in the middle of Gotham Cathedral, suddenly froze.
Schiller, who had just fallen asleep, also heard the sound.
It was already late at night, and even though Schiller was used to staying up late, it was his sleeping time now. However, this scream was too familiar, just like when the last unlucky alien landed in Gotham, so it easily woke up Schiller who was sleeping.
After being awakened, he did not feel angry. On the contrary, he was like a planter who finally saw the harvest of the seeds he had sown, full of joy of harvest.
The reason why he was not called a farmer was that although he had sown the seeds, he did not take care of the land, watered it, or fertilized it. He even planned to take a bite of the bread baked from the crops.
Merkel was awakened by Schiller's bell ringing. When he was awakened, his first reaction was a bit panicked. His biological clock told him that it was late at night.
The butler was most afraid of this situation because once someone rang the bell in the middle of the night, it meant that there might be a very urgent matter.
Two minutes later, Merkel, who was neatly dressed and dressed impeccably, appeared in Schiller's bedroom. Schiller was still wearing his pajamas. He poured wine into a glass while saying, "Help me make a call to Wayne Manor..."
Merkel didn't know what to say for a moment. He didn't know if the focus was on "Wayne Manor" or "making a call," or if the focus was actually on the current situation. He looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, which showed that it was 3:30 in the morning.
The brain that had just awakened from sleep was not enough to let Merkel sort out the logic of this. He even thought that maybe Schiller was expressing dissatisfaction with his work mistakes?
However, seeing Schiller's serious expression, Merkel could only resign himself to go downstairs and pick up the phone placed by the stairs.
With one hand on the ringing phone, Alfred stood next to the phone table, picked up the receiver, and said:
"...Oh, really?...Professor Rodriguez heard Aisha's scream?...Yes, I'm sorry, did it disturb his rest?"
"Yes, yes, she's fine. You know, children of this age are prone to nightmares, especially when their father is not at home at night..."
As he spoke, Alfred's gaze fell on Bruce, who was standing next to the sofa. At this time, he was still wearing his Batman suit, but he had no intention of pretending in the face of the current situation.
Dick, who was emitting green light all over his body, sat opposite him on the sofa, twitching from time to time, seeming to be suppressing the urge to teleport himself to the wall. Aisha was still crying loudly, although she didn't shed any tears, but she didn't seem to be tired either.
Next to the phone table, Alfred held the phone and kept lecturing Merkel on the importance of parenting and parental companionship.
Batman himself couldn't believe that his headache was much worse than when he faced all kinds of heinous criminals in the face of the current situation.
So, where is the certain Green Lantern who caused all this trouble, or the Green Lantern Hal who lost his power?
He is now tied to a chair next to the sofa.
It is unknown whether the novice Green Lantern with the power of the green light can beat the equally novice Batman, but Hal without the power of the green light is definitely not able to beat Batman, so he was tied to a chair and now looked at Dick with a helpless expression.
Batman felt that the best way to solve the current situation was to start with Dick. He turned his head and said to Dick, "Can't you take it off?"
"It" refers to the Green Lantern Ring. Dick looked at his hand and said, "No, it's not possible. I just tried, and no matter how hard I pull, I can't take it off..."
"It's useless. The Green Lantern Ring has a safety lock. If it falls off so easily, wouldn't it be easy to be ambushed during combat?" Hal said, and then noticed Batman staring at him. He understood Batman's meaning and explained, "Parallax... your daughter is too special. She must have some way to restrain the Green Lantern Ring. I have never seen any Green Lantern have their ring pulled off by someone before..."
Batman looked at Aisha again. Just as he looked at her, Aisha suddenly stopped crying and opened her arms. Batman walked over helplessly, picked her up, and Aisha cried loudly. But Batman couldn't understand what she meant.
Dick translated, "She seems to want me to learn how to control this power, but I can't. It doesn't listen to me at all. Oh, here it comes again!"
With a "whoosh," Dick's figure disappeared and then appeared in the nearby eating place, knocking over a large pile of tables and chairs.
As with the previous situation, the Green Lantern energy protected his body, and the only thing that suffered was the beautiful and spacious dining room of Wayne Manor, which was now a mess.
Batman didn't care about the house, but he found that the teleportation distance seemed to be getting farther and farther. If this continued, no one knew if Dick would be directly teleported to space. If that were the case... Batman looked at Hal again.
Hal shuddered and said, "I can assure you that he will not be harmed when this power exists."
"When I first got this power, I tried to jump off a plane during a test flight. Even if I fell from a high place to the ground, I was unharmed."
"How far will he be teleported?"
Hal glanced at Dick and said, "I think the Green Lantern Ring may have fallen into a logical error and can only rigidly execute my last command."
"At the same time, the safety lock of the Green Lantern Ring may detect that its owner is not using it. Generally, when this happens, the ring will automatically return to the Green Lantern Corps headquarters..."
"The combination of logical errors and safety locks may keep transporting this child until he returns to the Green Lantern Corps headquarters..."
When Hal finished speaking, the temperature in the room dropped several degrees.
"Oh, wait!" Hal immediately tried to remedy the situation. He said, "You can try to get Aisha to take the ring off his hand, just like taking the ring off my hand."
Batman looked down at Aisha, and Aisha bit her finger, looking like she didn't understand. Batman continued to stare at her, and finally, Aisha couldn't hold it anymore. She jumped out of Batman's arms and ran to Dick.
However, the Green Lantern Ring seemed to have a mind of its own. As soon as Aisha approached, it teleported with Dick. Although Aisha was fast, she still ran on her legs and couldn't catch up with Dick.
After chasing for a while, Aisha seemed a little tired and stopped to catch her breath. Alfred quickly put down the phone and walked over. He picked up Aisha and said, "Miss Aisha has had enough exercise today, or rather, it's a bit excessive for a child of this age. She should go to bed now."
Saying that, he carried Aisha upstairs.
At this time, Batman couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead and then looked at Hal again. Hal thought hard and said, "I think I have another way..."
He tried to move his body, turned the chair he was tied to towards Dick, and shouted at him, "Stay calm! Feel the power inside you, and try to control it..."
