Chapter 361 What Happened to the Green Lantern Corps? (Recalling the Foreshadowing in Chapter 240)
"It all started that night..." Han Nu said, "After I dealt with a Zerg attack on Reach, I took the prisoners back to OA, and then I received an order from the Guardians to assemble the Green Lanterns to attack Sinestro." (Note: Yes, the 2nd sector managed by Han Nu is also the sector where the famous Reach Zerg [Reach, the creator of the Blue Beetle, the mortal enemy of the Green Lantern Guardians] is located, but according to the agreement between the Reach Zerg and the Guardians, Green Lantern can operate within the reasonable scope of the 2nd sector.) "I know this." Chen Tao said. "?" Han Nu looked at him in confusion. What do you know? "I see... Sinestro invited Hal Jordan to his home planet, Koruga, to teach him the real way to manage a planet." Chen Tao touched his chin, recalling Sinestro's original words in the comics, not realizing that he looked a little weird now: "Sinestro's original words were 'What can the lantern ring do?' But in fact, no matter how Sinestro whitewashes his behavior, his way of managing the planet is high-pressure rule + bloody dictatorship. He even monitors everyone's heartbeat, God." Chen Tao shook his head: "I thought I was a control freak." "How do you know this?" Han Nu's question made Chen Tao realize that he was a little ahead of his time. He waved his hand nonchalantly: "This is what I deduced. Do you know what deduction is?" Chen Tao spread his hands on his left and right sides. Kai: "No one knows reasoning better than me!" Then he made an OK gesture to stop Han Nu who wanted to say something: "Don't talk nonsense, let me think about it..." He stretched out a hand and waved it up and down: "Hal Jordan certainly didn't buy it, so he mixed with the resistance organizations on his planet and directly rebelled against Sinestro on the spot." "He participated in the rebellion of the entire planet. The important reason why the rebellion on the planet of the Koru family has been unsuccessful for so many years is that no one can defeat such a powerful enemy as Sinestro. But with the participation of Green Lantern Hal Jordan, when Sinestro was entangled by Hal, the angry people directly captured his mansion. This violent chaos directly caused..." Batman was chattering, and Han Nu opened his mouth, not understanding who was interrogating whom for a while. He showed a puzzled expression on his rock-like face, opened his mouth, and didn't know whether to continue. The trust he originally had in the alien wearing a strange hood in front of him because of the green lantern ring was a little shaken at this moment. Is this really information that an ordinary Green Lantern can grasp?
But Han Nu knew that even if he asked the other party how he got this information, the other party would not tell him, which made him a little anxious.
If it were normal times, even if it was a colleague of the Green Lantern Corps, Han Nu would have rushed over to question how the other party knew all this without being told, but now the entire OA star is missing, which makes Han Nu anxious. He is a mature Green Lantern who can distinguish between the important and the urgent. Now is obviously not the time to find out how the other party knew it.
But as he was talking, Chen Tao stopped.
Han Nu blinked and stared at Chen Tao blankly.
Then Chen Tao slapped his rock forehead: "Who is interrogating who? You continue to talk!"
? ? ?
It was obviously you who stole my lines, and now you blame me for not saying it?
Han Nu took a deep breath and said, "The situation you described is very complete. What happened next is that Hal Jordan is of course no match for Sinestro, so he returned to OA to ask for help, and then the Guardians asked us to go out to attack Sinestro."
"No, no, that's not what I want." Chen Tao said, "Did Hal Jordan's behavior on Koruga cause any consequences? Did Sinestro's wife die?"
He looked at Han Nu expectantly.
For Sinestro, his first half of his life, apart from the content of being a dictator, was completely a standard Green Lantern.
He cared for his companions, upheld justice, beat the criminals in his jurisdiction to their knees in the posture of a classic superhero, ignored the Green Lantern's order not to cross jurisdictions and had dinner with his brother-in-law Abin Su, and after being discovered, he cursed at the little blue man and threatened that if you do this again, I will rebel.
One of the important things that led to his blackening and degeneration into a yellow lantern was the incident in the comic history where his wife Arlene Su died in the Koruga civil strife caused by Hal Jordan.
Arlene Sue is not only Sinestro's lover, but also the sister of Green Lantern Abin Sue.
Although the couple often quarreled because Sinestro was too dictatorial in governing his home planet, he was still Sinestro's favorite person.
(Note: Abin Sue is the Green Lantern who gave Hal the ring, a pink and purple alien, and Sinestro's mentor)
Her death caused great psychological trauma to Sinestro, and what made Sinestro even more unacceptable was that Arlene Sue's death was not even completely accidental, but more like a suicide.
Arlene Sue deliberately let herself die at the hands of the mob. She used her life to oppose Sinestro's dictatorship, which seriously stimulated the future leader of the Yellow Lantern Corps and was one of the many reasons for his later behavior to become extreme.
In order to prevent Sinestro from becoming too crazy after he became a yellow lantern, Chen Tao had given Green Lantern Hal a mud face to save Sinestro's wife from the mob at a critical moment. (Note: Please refer to Chapter 240)
He was looking forward to whether his arrangement had achieved the desired effect.
With the mud face rushing to the mob to commit suicide before Arlene Su, even if Arlene Su still had the idea of committing suicide at this time, would she have the nerve to put it into practice?
"Sinestro's wife? What does this have to do with Sinestro's wife?"
Han Nu was confused by Chen Tao's question. He didn't know what Chen Tao had done to save Arlene Su's life, and he felt puzzled when he heard the other party's question.
"Of course Sinestro's wife is fine. Even if the Green Lantern Corps defeats Sinestro, they won't do anything to his wife. After all, she is Abinsu's sister!"
"In short, what I got at the time was that Sinestro defeated Hal and drove him out of his planet, but his actions also violated the regulations of the Green Lantern Corps. The Guardians will not stand idly by. The Green Lantern Corps has rules. Sinestro uses fear to control the entire planet, which is no different from cosmic pests like the Reach Zerg."
Han Nu said: "So everyone was assembled to capture Sinestro, including a large number of Green Lanterns who are still stationed in their own sectors."
Each of the Green Lanterns in the Green Lantern Corps is responsible for a sector. They usually stay in their own sectors. Only when the Green Lantern Corps wants to do something collectively, such as capturing Sinestro, or attacking Darkseid before, will they come to OA.
"But I didn't go." Han Nu said: "The Zerg of Reach in my sector are making a lot of noise. Although the Corps has signed a non-aggression treaty with them, it doesn't mean that I should turn a blind eye to them. So I didn't follow them to fight, but stayed in OA for a while. Han Nu said: "I originally planned to throw the prisoners into the Green Lantern Corps' prison and then immediately return to my sector to continue fighting those bugs, but at this time, OA, which was empty of defense, was attacked by a Green Lantern who did not belong to our Corps. He called himself the Power Ring, but in my opinion, he was a puppet and slave completely controlled by the ring. His ring was obviously not made by OA, the Guardians would not create such evil things--"
Chen Tao let out a chuckle. Yes, the ring worn by the Power Ring was indeed not made by the little blue man, but by the first Lantern. However, the things that the little blue man will create in the future, such as the Supreme Green Lantern, are much more evil than a mere ring.
"If it is in a normal time period, such an enemy appears at the headquarters of the Green Lantern Corps, just like the underworld appears at the door of the police station, and at least faces the siege of thousands of Green Lanterns. "
"But at that time, all the elites were withdrawn to deal with Sinestro, so in the end only a few colleagues and I could go up."
"If I am not mistaken. "Chen Tao said: "The Guardians of the Universe sent you Green Lanterns who stayed behind to fight against the Power Ring?"
"That's right." Han Nu nodded, "Only our group of Green Lanterns who are still capable of fighting in the entire Oa Star."
"So..."
Chen Tao looked at him: "Why are you here?"
"Because we were fooled by someone again. "
Han Nu said gloomily: "We just left OA Star, and the madman called Divine Power Ring blew up one of his legs and one of his arms without hesitation. Who knows how he did it? He poured a lot of green light energy into the remains of his limbs, and then created a devastating explosion.
Han Nu said: "Our team of five was wiped out in an instant. Except for me who was stronger because of my race and withstood the explosion, none of my colleagues survived."
"After five, the whole team will be wiped out..." Chen Tao muttered.
"What are you talking about?" Han Nu asked.
"Nothing, you continue."
"So I said, I can't get any useful information here." Han Nu said: "Then I have nothing to say.
I was knocked unconscious by the shock wave of the explosion, and the Green Lantern Ring spontaneously maintained my life, allowing me to quietly float in the universe. Then I was caught by the red-faced and fanged prisoner and brought to this ghost place, and then interrogated by you."
He moved the iron chain tied by Atrocitus on his body, and then said: "Even I, who have experienced everything, don't know what happened. What can you speculate based on my description? Now we can only wait for the Green Lantern Corps members who arrested Sinestro to come back, and then we can discuss how to get OA back."
Han Nu said: "Maybe you don't know much about OA. It is almost impossible to move the planet, at least not when the guardians of the universe are on it. So the planet must be in its original place, but it was sealed because of some science and technology..."
"I know."
Then Han Nu heard Batman's voice.
"I think there are at least two people behind this and one person who is the executor."
The alien with rock-like skin suddenly found that he couldn't understand what the other party was saying.
"How do you know?"
He knew that asking would lead to nothing, but he still asked, but got an unexpected answer:
"I just know, because I am Batman!"
Such an answer is worse than no answer. After Chen Tao perfunctorily dealt with Han Nu, he continued to immerse himself in his own reasoning.
"One is most likely Lantern No. 1. In the past, he was trapped forever and couldn't even move a finger, but now he has the power ring from Earth 3. Although it is still weak, for the first time in billions of years, he suddenly has the ability to interfere with the outside world, just like Hawking with ALS can raise a flag. Although he can't move much, it is very critical."
"???"
Han Nu didn't know who Lantern No. 1 was at all. He opened his mouth and snorted like a fool, and then asked the question:
"What Lantern No. 1?"
"The person who discovered the emotional spectrum. You don't think that using green light is the innate ability of the little blue man, right?"
Chen Tao explained: "He is an ally of the Guardians of the Universe. He is called the First Legion by himself. He is the guardian of the universe to suppress The first weapon of the evil universe. The second is the Machine Hunter Corps, and the third is the Green Lantern Corps. "
He said that he didn't intend to continue to pay attention to Han Nu, but began to analyze again:
"The other one is likely to be Caronna. As an exiled guardian of the universe, he has always wanted to take revenge on his colleagues. Although he has not caught the nine tailed beasts at this time... ugh, seven lantern beasts, he will definitely not be stingy in adding fuel to the flames and causing trouble for the Green Lantern Corps. And for him, the Yellow Lantern Corps's lantern beast Parallax Monster has been imprisoned in the Green Lantern Central Energy Battery, which is obviously not in his interest. "
But all this is just speculation, which is the possible result deduced by Chen Tao from the comics. The specific situation is often more complicated than his guess.
"In fact, in addition to these two behind-the-scenes promoters, there must be an open host who connects these two completely unrelated people together and jointly plans this whole set of actions. Who is this person? "
Sinestro?
But the only thing that is certain is...
Han Nu is still counting on the Green Lantern Corps members who went to capture Sinestro to come back.
But if Chen Tao arranges this attack on Oa Star, none of those people will come back.
