Xu Fu-Xiao
The name Senesto comes from the Vice President, and the meteorite that destroyed Yan Guangjin is closely related to Xu Fu-Xiao, which means that a person named Xu Fu-Xiao may have been the first Earthling to see the Parallax monster.
Does this name sound familiar?
The person who snatched the halo from Hal also seems to be named Xu Fu-Xiao!
Senesto stroked his chin thoughtfully, then arrived at the seaside town and found Hal Jordan strolling on the street. Instead of approaching him, he put on his cloak and followed closely behind him.
The trial dealt him a heavy blow, demoralizing him and filling him with negative emotions. Sinestro disliked this, but he was powerless to refute the Guardians' arguments that they were not wrong, and that the killings were not driven by desire, but by anger and hatred.
His anger and hatred drove him to indiscriminately slaughter intelligent races of inferior civilizations, something strictly forbidden by the Green Lantern Corps.
Because of this "retaliation," his great and glorious "green light" career may very well come to an end.
Therefore, before leaving, he wanted to observe the successor chosen by his best friend and see if this earthling named Hal Jordan could inherit the excellent qualities of Abin Sueer.
Hal was unaware that he was being watched. He had just been discharged from the hospital and was about to go to a restaurant to get something to eat.
When Hal first received the ring, he didn't think being Green Lantern was such a noble profession. He just thought it was cool, fun, and a windfall. The power the ring granted him gave him the illusion of turning his life around, which led to a series of tragedies later on.
He had thought many times that if he hadn't caused trouble at the Young Master's headquarters, things might have turned out differently.
Although Xu Fu-Xiao is a bastard and annoying, he is a self-disciplined person. As long as you don't make him angry, he generally won't hold it against you.
Unfortunately, there's no going back, no "what ifs." Three fingers, a green light ring, and the dream of becoming a pilot were the price he paid for this impulsive act.
unhappy?
It was indeed a tragedy, but thankfully we survived, and Tom wasn't involved.
During these days, Hal recovered from the despair of losing everything and began to think about the future.
Without his halo and his lost finger, what can he do?
mechanic?
This wasn't a bad choice; with his skills and intellect, he could have become a better aircraft mechanic. But why did he always feel somewhat reluctant?
I once had a bright future, but I didn't cherish it. When I lost it, I was filled with regret; nothing in this world is more painful than this. If God gave me another chance, I would definitely tell Xu Fu-Xiao...
"Help!"
"Waaaaah! Help me, waaaah!"
Hal was interrupted by a sudden cry for help. He looked up and saw two burly men dragging a young girl toward a van at the intersection ahead.
"Stop! Let her go!"
Before he could think any further, Hal rushed over. The tall man pulled out his gun and fired in that direction. Hal quickly rolled back towards the children's store. The bullet grazed his body and exploded on the ground, sending sparks flying.
Hal pulled out his Browning pistol and aimed it at the van's tires.
Punch
Two shots and the tire was dry immediately.
The burly man cursed, threw the girl to his companion, pulled a submachine gun from the van, and began firing wildly as he walked away.
Bullets rained down, shattering most of the doors and windows. The female cashier inside the store, unaware of what was happening outside, was shot in the abdomen and collapsed in a pool of blood.
"asshole!"
Hal cursed loudly, disregarded the danger, rushed into the store, dragged the injured cashier to a safe place, and used the medical supplies he had learned in the army to give her a simple bandage.
Chapter 1078 Hal's Choice and Linda's Dumplings
The shooting occurred right at Sinestro's feet, but he did nothing to stop it. He simply hovered in the air, silently watching the unfolding events, watching Hal Jordan make his choice, and watching whether he could inherit Abin Sue's legacy and become the guardian of Sector 2814.
The situation became extremely dangerous. There were other customers in the store, including a mother and child who were terrified by the sudden gunshots and hid in a corner, too afraid to make a sound.
Hal noticed them too, and when he realized the child was not even five years old, he couldn't help but slap them.
What are you doing?
Hal gritted his teeth: only he could solve this case; if he failed, the cashier, the mother, and the child would all surely die.
He will never let that happen!
Bang
The alloy door was kicked open, and a burly man carrying a machine gun walked in, cursing and looking around as if trying to shoot a stink bug causing trouble in a hornet's nest.
Hal took a mirror from the counter, used its reflection to observe the situation in front of him, determined the location of the burly man, and then fired several shots without hesitation.
Bang, bang, bang
He was a very accurate shot; six bullets hit the burly man's arm, side, and calf respectively.
The tall man roared and tried to fight back, but Hal tackled him to the ground. Hal stood up, picked up the submachine gun from the ground, made an anxious gesture to the mother and child in the corner, and then pressed himself against the wall to look outside.
Another tall man pointed a gun at the driver of a passing car, seemingly wanting to switch vehicles.
"I can't let him go."
Hal made a quick decision, his breathing quickened, and the adrenaline released by his medullary cells entered his brain, bringing him to an unprecedented state of concentration. In an instant, he felt as if he were back in the cockpit.
Hal picked up the thief and threw him forcefully into the street.
"Hey, big guy, your brother's in my hands. Stop right there if you don't want him dead."
At that moment, three gunshots caught the attention of a burly man. Seeing his companion covered in blood, he drew his pistol without hesitation and aimed it at the girl's head.
"You damn bastard, stand up for yourself or I'll beat her to a pulp!"
The girl was terrified and screamed in horror.
"I'll only count to three!"
"one!"
"two!"
The burly man narrowed his eyes, a cruel killing intent flashing in them.
"three!"
"and many more!"
Hal raised his submachine gun and slowly walked out: "I surrender, I'll let her go."
"Go to hell, you scum!"
The tall man raised his gun and fired; the bullet struck Hal in the heart, and he fell backward to the ground.
"fool!"
The burly man spat, abandoned the sobbing girl, and walked toward the shop. Just then, Hal regained his senses, pretended to raise his Browning pistol, and fired a shot with a "bang."
Bang
The bullet struck the burly man squarely in the heart. He jerked backward, raised his right hand, and with a bang, the bullet hit his chest.
Bang
Gunshots rang out again, and the burly man fell to his knees in a pool of blood.
Hal took a deep breath and hurriedly unbuttoned his shirt, his unscarred chest dazzling him.
What's the situation?
You were clearly hit by a bullet, so why are you alright?
Fifteen minutes later, the police arrived at the scene, cordoned off the area, collected evidence, and took the victim to the police station to testify. The girl solemnly expressed her gratitude to Hal and asked for his home address and contact information in an almost pleading tone.
Hal didn't want to meddle, and he really couldn't find a reason to refuse.
After dealing with various trivial matters, night fell, and a physically and mentally exhausted Hal lay on the sofa, staring for a long time at the peephole of the gun on his clothes.
"This is my job."
A familiar voice rang out from the side, and Hal quickly turned around, only to be surprised to see Seneca standing in the doorway.
"You...how did you..."
"I've been watching you silently from behind."
Hal: "..."
"Your choice is fantastic!"
"Courage, kindness, compassion, self-sacrifice—the qualities you displayed in that battle are commendable. Bin Sue made the wrong choice; you were the most suitable candidate. You will inherit his will and become one of the greatest Green Lanterns."
This statement embarrassed Hal Jordan.
"I'm just doing what a normal person should do."
Senesto shook his head slightly, walked to the window, gazed at the distant sunset for a long time, and then slowly said, "Hal Jordan, are you willing to become a member of the Green Lantern Corps and dedicate your strength to protecting the peace of the universe?"
“Of course I have one, it’s…,” Hal said painfully, “my ring….”
"I will return the halo to you."
...
In the Xiao family manor, Linda, who was enjoying a delicious Chinese meal in a stone pavilion, looked up.
