The woods on either side quickly receded, and the undulating hills allowed "Catwoman" Selina in his arms to rise and fall. This time to Metropolis, Connors chose not to go at high speed but to go straight ahead. The rising smoke from the horseback obscured the view from the outside, and riding alongside Black Smoke was an off-road version of the Batmobile with little armor but huge rear wheels.
He was racing with Mr. Wayne and, incidentally, without a third person bothering him, experiencing a Fast and Furious with "Catwoman" Selina.
The reward for eating melons last night was very average and seemed to Connors to be nothing short of tasteless.
[Eat Melon Today: The Monster in Nursery Rhymes][Reward for eating melons: Relics from Dreams][Dream Relics: By keeping awake, you can bring things from your dream back to reality]
The reward seemed good, but it was tasteless. Connors had good quality sleep and hardly ever dreamed.
Without mentioning the process, Connors was very satisfied with both Black Smoke and Catwoman's performance. But when he arrived in Metropolis, Batman immediately jumped out of the car.
"300 million."
As a rich man and the almost omniscient Mr. Wayne, he had to admit at this time that he had taken a good look last night. The speed of the black-smoked steed was something that even his custom-built, speed-oriented Batmobile could not catch up with, as could be seen from Connors holding himself quite straight, rather than lying down on its back. However, he did not know that the speed of crossing mountains and ridges was far from the limit of Black Smoke at this time; Connors was still deliberately slowing down.
"It's not for sale. Don't always think about my horse," Connors still refused without hesitation.
Mr. Wayne moved his mouth and wanted to try to continue the fare increase, but a violent shock suddenly erupted in the distant city. The already scarred Metropolis could no longer accept any degree of destruction. Connors and Batman looked at each other, one thinking about having melons as soon as they arrived, and the other anxious to go to the scene to stop possible destruction.
Batman drove straight ahead in the direction of the impact, and Connors followed. No one could be seen along the way, and as the horse's hooves lifted and fell, the high-rise buildings on either side gradually changed style.
By the time Connors arrived, "Superman" Clark, "The Flash" Barry, "Batman" Mr. Wayne, and a handsome young man with brown hair in a peculiar black and green suit were standing there. The youth had a symbol like an oil lamp on his chest and a ring with the same symbol on his finger.
"Hal Jordan?" Connors turned over and dismounted. "Catwoman" Selina leaped down as well, while Black Smoke disappeared. The too-obvious sign allowed Connors to recognize "Green Lantern" from a distance, but since the Green Lantern title had been owned by many people in the comics, he was not sure.
"Do you know me?" Green Lantern's response confirmed Connors's speculation that he was Hal Jordan.
"The biggest green light ever. Of course I know you," Connors laughed. "Connors Patterson. You can call me Connors."
How could anyone know this guy? Batman stood by and bent over to help up "The Flash" Barry, who had fallen to the ground. "What happened?" he asked Barry, the only one he knew.
"You ask him! Since he has such great strength, why didn't he come to Metropolis yesterday?" Barry's voice was nasal with held-back tears. "I didn't know from the news until today that more than two hundred people died yesterday. Why did so many die, even though I was trying to save people?"
No wonder "The Flash" Barry didn't come over to fight the Kryptonians immediately yesterday. It turned out that before Zatanna had saved people, he had already saved them once… or maybe more than once. Connors nodded silently, not wisecracking at this time.
"Friend, my protection is not limited to the Earth. There are other places in the universe that need my help… I'm sorry for what happened yesterday, but this is my negligence," Hal said in a low voice.
"Barry, without you yesterday, I'm afraid the number of casualties would have increased several times. You have saved countless families, so don't blame yourself so much," Batman's tone at this point was unusually soft.
After listening to the conversation, Connors already understood in his heart. Like "Superman" Clark, Barry was also a kind-hearted big boy who was taking the responsibility for the hundreds of people who had died on himself. And when he learned that "Green Lantern" Hal had great strength, he couldn't help but vent his emotions on him, which had triggered the shock just now.
"No planet is as full of monsters as Earth. It seems that my decision to go to the depths of the universe was a bit reckless. I should be based on Earth," Hal said, looking at the surrounding buildings. He didn't blame Barry; the other's intention was just to keep more people alive.
"Instead of talking about this now, it's better to look around first," Connors interrupted their conversation. With "Athena's Vision," Connors had noticed something strange on the way here. At his reminder, the others frowned and looked around.
"Let me scan." Perhaps out of self-blame, Hal took the initiative. As the green light from his ring shone, Hal closed his eyes tightly. Everyone else set their sights on this guy, whom no one knew, only Connors had called out by name.
Cold sweat condensed and flowed down Hal's face at a speed visible to the naked eye. With a scream, he fell to his knees. "Superman" Clark quickly lifted him up. "What did you see?"
"The Flash" Barry also stepped forward to support him. He also felt a little guilty for venting his self-blame on Hal. "Buddy, are you okay?"
Hal gasped and nodded at Barry, signaling that he was okay. "My electromagnetic scan seemed to go wrong… I saw explosions, destruction, and doomsday, which should not have been in the results of the scan. I felt like I had unprotected close contact with a nuclear explosion."
Yesterday, the military was beaten to pieces, but dropping a nuclear bomb on Metropolis hadn't happened yet, Connors looked at "Green Lantern" Hal with some doubts.
"This city seems to have changed. We should explore separately," Bruce Wayne said, his masked face showing no expression.
If my relationship with Hal Jordan improves, I can enter his memory to eat melons. What kind of reward would a cosmic-level battle be? With such thoughts in mind, Connors re-summoned his Black Smoke Warhorse and pulled "Catwoman" Selina up. "Hal, I'll act with you."
"Counting me, four people can handle anything," Barry said, wanting to take this opportunity to make a good apology to Hal.
One could fly, one could run fast, and two rode a horse. Speeding around a small half of the city, the four ended up stopping by one street. "Something is wrong with this city," Hal said. A man in an old-fashioned suit was accosting another woman in a classical dress in a vintage-inspired classic car on the side of the road.
"The Flash" Barry looked at them and nodded. "Something's very wrong. Dude, I'm really sorry for what happened just now. Let me introduce myself. My name is Barry, and my title is the Flash, the fastest man on Earth." He was quite sincere.
"Hal Jordan, a guy from the Green Lantern Corps. You can just call me Green Lantern," Hal said, not taking what had happened to heart.
While Connors, who did not speak, rode on top of the tall horse, he watched an ice cream truck coming from a distance and fell into deep thought. The driver in the car stared at them from beginning to end. Even as he passed by and gradually moved away, the driver's head was always turned to their side.
"I've never seen an ice cream truck like this since I grew up," Hal said doubtfully.
"Could it be that we were brought into the past?" Barry took the conversation.
Connors slapped his forehead next to him, as if he knew what was going to happen next. Black Smoke trotted all the way, stopping at the door of a music store in Hal and Barry's confused eyes. There was a car with a flute-like shape parked there. When Connors first arrived, the glass door of the music store was kicked to pieces, and a man with orange hair and a pink suit ran out of it with a violin in his hand.
Connors had come here to eat melons, so naturally, he wouldn't take action. However, "Green Lantern" Hal, who had a strong sense of justice, flew into the air, put this guy who was about to run away back in his car, and picked up the car with him. "Don't run so fast."
The violin-stealing guy in the car was stunned when he saw Hal. "You can't lie to me even if you cross-dress, Green Guard!"
