Chapter 489: A Little Expert in Getting Rich (Part 2)

In the office of the Legion Commander Tyrone, Hal turned around and wanted to leave after delivering the documents, but was stopped by Tyrone.

Tyrone said while reading the documents: "To be honest, you can forgive Owen, which is beyond my expectation. It seems that you are a broad-minded person."

Hal paused, then said: "It's not that I forgive him, but I know that the headquarters needs manpower now, and he often handles paperwork. Without him, the two of us can't handle so many things at all."

Tyrone sighed and said with some emotion: "Since Sinestro betrayed, they have begun to strictly guard the headquarters. I heard..."

Tyrone lowered his voice and said: "They intend to form a special military police. The members of the military police are not Green Lanterns recognized by the Green Lantern Ring, but the Green Lantern weapons they made."

"You have seen Owen's situation before. That is the experiment they have done. They have been trying various methods to extract green lantern energy, and the Green Lantern Ring is just one of them."

"Will they succeed?" Hal asked.

"I don't know, but if they succeed, we'll be in trouble." Tyrone seemed a little worried, and Hal could understand him. Everyone knew how terrible the military police, who were responsible for monitoring, were.

Moreover, Green Lanterns were bound by certain rules in the Green Lantern Ring and could not use lethal force, but if the military police were created, it was unknown whether they would have such constraints, but if not, I'm afraid a terrible purge would come.

"I'm sorry, Hal, for involving you in this matter." Tyrone lowered his eyes and pretended to be reading a report, but in fact, his thoughts had flown far away.

"Earth is like my hometown. It's too difficult for a remote place like ours to enter the universe. It's hard to find a leader, but he didn't live in the right era."

Hal walked back and stood opposite Tyrone, then said, "Really? I don't think so."

"You don't understand the seriousness of the matter, Hal. In fact, they pushed me up because I have no civilization to rely on. If they push a legion leader from an advanced civilization, then if they want to replace him in the end, they will face resistance from the civilization behind him."

"But I... I'm just a country bumpkin from a small place. I've been in the headquarters for so many years, and I only got a position as an assistant to the deputy head. But after Sinestro's betrayal, the original deputy head and two lieutenants failed to become the new legion leader."

"When this position came to me, I knew what they were going to do, but despite this, I still had to take this path, even if it might end in a dead end."

Hal was silent. He looked at Tyrone's face. Tyrone's appearance was very similar to that of humans, and therefore he could better understand the emotions conveyed by Tyrone's expression.

But Hal said nothing. He wanted to turn around and leave the room. Just as he pushed the door open, Tyrone asked in confusion, "Huh?"

"Wait! Hal, come back!" Tyrone called Hal back again. He frowned and looked at the report and said, "I don't understand the financial report on the aftermath of the Earth."

"Oh, really? But I didn't do this part." Hal showed a somewhat embarrassed expression. Tyrone looked up at him and said, "Just tell me what you want to say. Don't hesitate."

Hal sighed and said, "Originally, I was doing this part of the work, but Owen said that I was an Earthling. If I handled it myself, I would definitely be partial to someone and then take the job away."

Tyrone frowned, seeming a little dissatisfied with Owen's approach, but he couldn't find any fault, because the Green Lantern Corps did have such a rule, and those who were involved in their hometown sectors needed to avoid suspicion.

Tyrone knocked on the table and said, "Go find Owen. I don't quite understand the report he submitted."

After a while, Hal called Owen over. Owen looked impatient and his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot when he looked at Hal. Tyrone didn't care. He asked, "What's the matter with the report you mentioned about increasing the budget for the energy used in Gotham's aftermath? Is the existing budget not enough?"

"Don't mention it!"

Owen snorted and said, "Before, Schiller Rodriguez, who had half of his energy drained, was the one who did it."

"What do you think he relied on to last so long in Gotham? On his own? How How is it possible! Do you think everyone is the so-called greatest Green Lantern? "

Owen's tone was full of sarcasm, but Tyrone still asked patiently: "What is his basis? What does it have to do with the budget?"

"He made a large blank check and hired many mercenaries, including Constantine, who is famous in the spirit world."

"Spirit world? I don't know much about this. What's wrong with him?"

"You don't need to understand. You just need to know that he is a dog-skin plaster and a rotten person. If we don't pay the bill, he will definitely come to the headquarters. Moreover, this person is very evil. Those who go against him and his teammates will die ugly. "

Owen took a deep breath and said helplessly: "If we don't send him away, we will be disgusted to death."

"But there is no other way. If it were you, could you hold on to Gotham for so long without relying on external forces?" Hal retorted loudly.

"That's not the reason why he promised a large reward! Do you know how tight our energy is now? The charging time of the lamp furnaces in more than 100 sectors has been delayed!" Owen also shouted loudly.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Tyrone hurried to mediate, saying, "Okay, this is reasonable, but Gotham is asking for compensation, this..."

"These damn surface creatures, I don't know where they got the method of cosmic communication from. They said that if we don't compensate them, they will shout this matter out..."

Owen rubbed his brow with his fingers and said, "Originally, our reputation has been hit hard. If there is any more trouble because of this incident, the prestige of the Green Lantern Corps will be shaken greatly."

"Of course, the terms they proposed are completely exorbitant, and I will not pay the price." Owen crossed his arms and said, "At most, I will give them 1%. Anyway, they are just a group of ignorant surface creatures, and they can be dealt with by giving a little money."

"Each item is a small amount of money, but it adds up to a lot." Tyrone said worriedly, but in the end, he still signed and agreed.

After Owen left, Hal did not leave. He sat opposite Tyrone and asked him: "If the situation really develops to the worst, what are you going to do?"

Tyrone shook his head and said: "If I can deal with it, they will not choose me."

Hal took a deep breath. Tyrone saw that he had something to say. Tyrone said thoughtfully: "Do you think it is difficult to say the next words?"

"No, I just want to know if there are any monitoring facilities left here?"

Tyrone raised his eyes and stared at Hal's eyes, but Hal looked at him with a firm look, without any guilty expression. Finally, Tyrone said: "Don't worry, the former leader Sinestro is a Suspicious people, they were still pointing at him at the beginning, so there must be no monitoring facilities in this office. "

"Don't you want to save yourself?" Hal asked him: "Are you going to wait for them to build the military police, ride on your head, and even kill you?"

Tyrone was silent, and he said: "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't do it, Hal, not everyone has the same talent as you, just got the green lantern ring, and can get the recognition of the ion shark."

"But I have a way, do you want to hear it?"

Tyrone put down the report in his hand and looked at Hal. There was a hint of hesitation between his eyebrows, because he had a premonition that what Hal said might be a little shocking.

But then, he heard Hal say: "Not only for yourself, but also for your civilization, your hometown, and places like your hometown and mine..."

"Say it, no matter what you say, you will not leave this room."

Hal pointed to the report and said: "You saw what was written in the report. Of all the energy consumption reported here, Owen and I each took one-fifth."

Tyrone slowly opened his eyes, a trace of anger climbed onto his face, but soon froze, and he said: "You..."

"It's just what you think, but we are just defending ourselves. We must accumulate strength for the cleansing that may come next, otherwise we can only be killed."

"Tyrone, they betrayed us first."

After the voice fell, Hal saw that Tyrone's Adam's apple was shaking up and down, and he continued: "And now, this plan There is only one last link left. With Owen and I, we can only fight a small battle. "

"And those energies..." Hal stretched out his arm and pointed to the next door and said, "They are placed there. After the damn military police kill us all, they will take them away. Do you plan to wait here?"

Tyrone's lips trembled a little. He said, "But I am the commander of the corps. I can't..."

Hal put his hand on the table and said, "I don't believe you don't know that the Green Lantern Corps controlled by them actually does not represent anyone's justice. We are just the guns they use to rule the universe, and the green light energy is the bullet. "

Tyrone was silent. He took a deep breath and felt his whole chest trembling. Hal's words were like the whisper of the devil. He had to admit that he was shaken in the face of such temptation, because he knew very well how powerful the green light energy was.

"But we can't abuse this energy. You should know that if we can't pass the ring's certification, we can't use this energy. Even if we can extract it, ordinary people can't use it."

"What if I have a way?"

Tyrone felt his heart start to beat, and he said with a dry mouth: "You mean, you have a way to make the green light energy be used by surface creatures? Become... an energy source?"

"A universal energy source." Hal added.

Tyrone's hands began to tremble, and he said: "Are you sure?"

Hal nodded, and Tyrone began to be silent. He was silent for a long time, about ten minutes, without saying a word. He seemed to be lost in memories. Hal could see from his eyes that he thought of his hometown.

Hal was not surprised. Even though he did not have a high degree, he knew that if human civilization could use green light energy as energy, even if it was not permanent, just to obtain some for experiments and manufacturing certain energy-limited equipment, it would be a qualitative leap for civilization.

After a long wait, he finally heard Tyrone say:

"...What are you going to do?"

"Do you remember the Shearer Rodriguez who was stationed in Gotham before?"

"Uh... remember, but didn't you say that he was injured in the melee and was staying in his hometown to recuperate?"

"Yes, but he has recovered. I recommend him to be the internal affairs adjutant of the head of the Green Lantern Corps, specializing in finance."

Tyrone said hesitantly: "You mean, he can..."

Hal nodded vigorously and said:

"He really can."
