The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 491
After sending Konstantin away, Merkel took a rag and rubbed the chair and table he sat on up and down several times. The disgust was almost written on her face.

Just when he finished all this, the second visitor arrived as scheduled, and when Merkel went down to meet him, he saw Bruce standing outside the gate of the manor.

Bruce had made an appointment, so Merkel was more enthusiastic. He walked up to open the door for Bruce. After entering the manor, Bruce went straight to Schiller's study as usual.

When he came to the study room, Bruce's eyes fell on the abacus, watching Schiller keep flipping the abacus against a bill, he knew what the theme of today was.

"Are you here? Sit." Schiller pointed to the opposite chair again. After Bruce sat down, Schiller glanced at him. Just as he was about to speak, Bruce rushed ahead of him and said, "My thesis will be finished tomorrow." .”

Schiller sighed and wanted to speak again, but Bruce said, "I've written 3000 words."

Schiller opened his mouth again, and Bruce said, "There's absolutely no digression this time, and I checked the notation carefully."

Schiller sighed and said, "You'll be quick to answer, but that's not what I'm going to talk about today."

On Bruce's expressionless face all year round, there was a rare look of surprise, looking at Schiller's eyes, as if looking at a parrot that grew a second head overnight.

Schiller stretched out his hand and said to Bruce: "What about the detailed bill for the reconstruction and compensation of the damaged buildings in Gotham that I said on the phone?"

Bruce took out a document and handed it to Schiller. After Schiller took it, he frowned as soon as he opened the first page. He said, "I forgot to tell you that the unit of this reimbursement bill is not US dollars. , but the Green Lantern Ring."

"You want to ask the Green Lantern Corps for compensation?" Bruce immediately understood Schiller's meaning, but he shook his head and said, "But they won't compensate, if they really take human beings seriously, they won't Will come here so recklessly, and then make this place beyond recognition."

"That doesn't matter, we just need a title."

"What are you going to do if they don't pay?"

Schiller sighed, and said to Bruce: "I repeat, it's not after I issue a bill to the other party, and then the other party decides whether to compensate."

"If they don't pay compensation, you plan to make another big incident, and even blow up their home planet?"

Schiller's expression suddenly paused. Seeing his expression, Bruce's expression also froze. He stared at him and asked, "You really want to blow up, don't you?"

Schiller lowered his head and began to plan non-stop. Bruce stared into his eyes and said, "I don't object to you seeking more benefits for human beings in the universe through certain means, but if you are too radical, it may add unnecessary Loss……"

Schiller coughed twice, changed the subject very stiffly, and said: "I know, the general procedure is that after our side issues a compensation bill, it will be sent to the other party. If the other party disagrees, then we will go through legal procedures. But the problem is, the opposite side itself is the court.”

"There is no third-party force in the universe that can adjudicate this matter, or even if there is, contacting them too early is not good for us."

"So, I didn't intend to go through legal procedures with them, have you forgotten? There are people from us on the opposite side."

"I have studied it before. The structure of the Green Lantern Corps is very simple, and it can even be said to be a bit crude. The head of the Green Lantern Corps usually has two assistants, one is in charge of external military affairs, and the other is in charge of internal management. Management is mainly personnel arrangements and financial management.”

"However, because Sinestro suddenly rebelled against the Green Lantern Corps before, the current head of the Green Lantern Corps was appointed in a critical situation. He did not find two adjutants at all. The two positions were directly unified into one person. Now, it's Hal in that role."

"I think you have also discovered that the highly unified responsibilities and the lack of a corresponding supervision system have led to the feasibility of many operations. This can save the process of legal procedures or threats of force, and can also achieve the goal."

When Schiller said this, Bruce kept staring at him. After listening, he said: "It seems that your anxiety disorder is really serious, and it has reached the level of split personality. Who are you?"

"I'm Schiller, but if you let the professor Schiller you are familiar with listen to your words, your final grades will be in danger." Schiller shook his head and said,
Bruce's expression was surprised at first, and then showed the classic suspicious expression, but before he could continue to ask, Schiller took the bill and said: "Even if the price on this is in US dollars, it is estimated Too conservative."

"The central turntable lost a traffic light? The name of the traffic light is not accurate, have you forgotten? Gordon borrowed your bat light and transformed it into a traffic light on the central turntable."

"What technology do you use for your bat light?...Forget it, I can't understand what you said anyway, so let's write about nuclear fusion."

Schiller put on his glasses, moved the bill a little further away, and continued to look at it carefully with a frown. Soon, he said again: "The asphalt pavement is destroyed... well, you can call it the pavement being destroyed by blowing down the entire ground by 3.5 meters." destroy?"

"Let me see, you have an underground part of your Batcave, right? Do you have a land permit?"

"Later, you can go to the mayor and use the Batcave as the public building part of the central carousel, and count it as the shared area, then report the building as being on fire and the important equipment being damaged. As for which equipment is more important, it depends on how well you and Victor There are other technicians."

"What else? Oh, here, the reconstruction part also needs to be changed."

"Didn't I say that when planning the traffic before? At the beginning of the establishment of the central turntable, the limitations were too great, because the area was too small, so the traffic flow was limited, so it just widened it a bit."

"Broaden by how much?"

"Is 2000 kilometers okay?"

"...I'm afraid the Soviet Union will not agree." Bruce replied blankly: "If you plan to turn the entire Pacific Ocean into a transportation hub for Gotham, you need to negotiate with the Kremlin first."

"Then count the Pacific Ocean as the shared area of ​​Gotham... well, let's repair it according to the damaged area first, roughly how big is it?"

"The diameter has been expanded to 1.5 times the original size. According to the joint report given by the Urban Planning Authority and the Department of Architecture of Gotham University, it is enough for use."

Schiller sighed deeply, glanced at Merkel next to him, and asked, "Can't we really call the Kremlin?"

Bruce just looked at him with that classic expression without saying a word. Schiller lowered his head and continued to read the report. Then he pointed to one of them and said, "The damage to the warehouse is a big problem."

Schiller thought for a while and said, "Do you have a plan to land on the moon recently?"

Hearing this question, Bruce's expression changed slightly. Seeing Bruce's expression, Schiller's expression froze for a moment, and he said, "You don't really have a plan to land on the moon, do you?"

Bruce was expressionless, Schiller sighed, continued to look at the bill and said: "The warehouse goods are uniformly filled with cosmic engines and their supporting parts, reported as damaged goods, and then reported for electronic waste disposal fees, chemical disposal fees, radiation and dangerous goods disposal fee……"

"Do you want them to mortgage the planet to you?"

Schiller shook his head and said, "I don't want large-scale planetary garbage, but energy is enough."

He put down the bill, looked at Bruce and said, "The military asks for military expenses every year to attack the oil country. In essence, it is not the desert, but the oil fields under the desert."

"The emotional spectrum is equivalent to the oil field in the universe. At present, human beings do not have the strength to develop this oil field on a large scale. At this time, we have two choices, or steal some oil in a stupid way like I did before, but this method It's dangerous, it's not sustainable, and it's really troublesome."

"The other way is to start a war like the military and we are doing at this time, create a lot of trouble, let them shuffle their cards, put our own people, gradually shake the leadership, and let them Some of them are willing to sell oil to us."

"So, next thing you're going to..."

Schiller put away the bills, flicked the beads on the abacus, and smiled a smile Bruce had never seen before.

The next day, in the headquarters of the Green Lantern Corps, in the confinement room, the deputy head Owen stared at Hal in front of him, but Hal did not talk to him in that angry tone, but said calmly:
"I think you should be very angry now, thinking that I got everything you deserved, but I have to tell you that anger is useless."

"Are you just planning to mock me?!" Owen yelled angrily, but he was deprived of the green light ring, facing Hal who was covered in a strong green light, he had no power to resist.

"Don't get excited. To a certain extent, I can understand you. Don't you think the screening mechanism of the green light is a bit unreasonable?"

Owen still stared at Hal coldly, but it could be seen that he was waiting for Hal's next words.

Hal twirled the ring on his hand, and said, "Actually, I was not outstanding in my hometown. Before I got the ring, I was not famous at all, and I was doing dangerous work with meager wages."

"In my hometown, there are too many people who are stronger than me. They are smarter and far-sighted than me, but because of an illusory willpower, they are blocked from the door of this powerful force."

"I think this should be the case for you, too, right?" Hal looked into Owen's eyes, Owen turned his head away from him, but it could be seen from the corners of his tightly pursed mouth, Hal said up.

"I think you should be an outstanding person in your hometown. You have received a good education since you were a child, and you are quite talented. After you grow up, you have made a lot of achievements. You think you are a genius with extraordinary wisdom, but the green light did not choose you. ..."

"Enough!" Owen suppressed anger in his tone, as if the scar in his heart had been uncovered, he said: "If you just came to mock me, you succeeded, so can you get out now?"

Hal folded his arms and said calmly, "I'm not mocking you from the perspective of a successful person, but to tell you that I also think it's very unfair."

"My hometown is in a remote area, but in fact, there are many geniuses there, but they are just shut out by these vague rules. Relatively, in some prosperous sectors, there are more people who can get this powerful Power, I don't think it's fair."

"If my home planet can produce dozens of Lanterns, they might have already flown out of the universe. Now that I have reached this position, why can't I do something for myself and my hometown?"

Owen turned his head and looked into Hal's eyes. He didn't see a hint of joking in Hal's eyes. Suddenly, he showed a sneer, and then said: "I knew that all the people who keep saying justice , are just pretending."

"Tayrone is the head of the legion, and you are the deputy head. Isn't it obvious who to please? But it is also obvious who to do business with."

"What do you want to do?" Owen asked, staring at Hal.

"I've said it all..." Hal approached Owen, then looked at him and said, "No matter what method you and I used to get to this position, we can all unite and get back what we deserve."
