1211. Be my apprentice! (top)

Anakin-Skywalker looked at the mother in front of him, his eyes full of sadness. He stepped forward, ignoring the corpse odor Shmi-Skywalker, knelt down on one knee, put his head on his mother's knee, and remained silent for a long time.

"Master, it is medically impossible for mother to be alive anymore. Her heartbeat is less than 10 beats per minute. According to Rock-Johnson, we regularly put mother into Bacta tank for physical recovery, which allowed her body to persist until now." C-3PO said at the side.

Anakin stood up and said in a deep voice, "Her memory is still stuck on ten years ago, which means that her brain has been damaged and her memories of the past ten years have been lost. However... since Archangel of Death resurrected her like this before the war broke out, she still has not gained any new memories. In other words, her body is no longer working."

"You mean, she's dead?" C-3PO raised his hands and said, "Oh... my language program cannot allow me to express such sad things, I can't even shed tears. I'm sorry, Master... I'm very sorry."

Anakin nodded and asked again, "Are you really sure that on that day two years ago, before Archangel of Death arrived, your mother was already dead?"

C-3PO replied, "Master, you ask me this question every time. My mother was indeed dead at that time, her heart stopped beating, and her cerebral cortex activity also stopped. About an hour later, the man in the black cloak came here."

Rock-Johnson said, "Recently, there have been two times when someone wanted to come over to visit my mother as a form of condolences, but I blocked her."

"Perhaps it was someone sent by the speaker... I will tell him not to send anyone again. The fact that I took my mother over is a violation of Jedi Creed for Jedi Order, and it must not be spread out." Anakin said.

"I will keep my mother safe." Rock-Johnson nodded.

"You guys, please go out first. I want to be alone with my mother for a while." Anakin-Skywalker said.

Rock-Johnson nodded, turned around and prepared to go out.

C-3PO was still mumbling, "No, I think we should push mother to the west hillside, where there is plenty of sunshine... Hey, Mr. Johnson, please don't pull me, okay? You're going to break the connection on my arm."

Anakin stood in front of his mother, speechless for a long time. After a long time, he finally made up his mind, squatted down, put his hand on a hidden compartment next to the wheelchair, and stopped again.

Finally, with a little force, he opened the secret compartment and placed a small chip inside.

He inserted the chip into his communicator and connected to a secret frequency band.

The communication took a long time, and then the holographic projection flickered, and a man with a cold temperament, about 30 years old, appeared.

"Archangel of Death...Tang Xiao..." Anakin-Skywalker said through gritted teeth.

But Tang Xiao smiled faintly and said, "It seems that it is not a bad thing for me to tell Obi-Wan-Kenobi about this matter. You see, when you suddenly call me while I am in a meeting, I don't need to change my clothes in a hurry and come back to talk to you. It's so convenient."

"You killed Obi-Wan-Kenobi, you also killed Adi-Gallia, you killed Isi-Kos, you killed Ajin-Kola! I will make you pay for their hatred with blood!" Anakin-Skywalker roared.

"You Jedi Knight won't be able to speak without saying something harsh when you turn on the communicator, right? I told you I'm in a meeting." Tang Xiao shook the projection lens, and sure enough, not far behind him, there was a group of people sitting around discussing.

He flicked the camera away, not giving Anakin time to see anything clearly, and then said, "You have set up such a big stall for me, Anakin-Skywalker. You know you are Onderon After your secret activities, how many people were killed? Even Mina-Bontri were killed by you. So, you Jedi Knight are really good at killing people with a borrowed knife. We are here to wipe your ass."

"I didn't go to Onderon!" Anakin's face darkened, and he began to think about who leaked the news about his arrival. Obviously he was very cautious all the way, and he could be sure that no one else knew about his existence except for a few of the most loyal Rebel Alliance executives.

However, Tang Xiao insisted that this was what he did!

Why?

Who leaked the news?

"Is such a clumsy lie interesting? Anakin. You are really just like a child. Even compared to me." Tang Xiao spread his hands, "Look, admit it when it's time to admit it. I won't pretend to deny that I am not Archangel of Death, right?"

"You..." Anakin took a deep breath and decided not to argue with Sith Lord, who was so eloquent. It was obvious that the only one who could lose was himself.

He asked in a deep voice, "What did you do to my mother?"

"I've been waiting for this communication from you for two years." Tang Xiao raised two fingers and said in a very joking tone, "It seems that you don't care about your mother's condition at all."

"I can never believe a Sith Lord's words!" Anakin said sharply.

"Then why are you coming to me? Are you asking me to borrow money?" Tang Xiao asked knowingly, "Ah, by the way, Bacta fluid is very expensive. I often use this thing to repair your mother's body. The little allowance you Jedi Order gave is far from enough. You couldn't afford to ask Padmé-Amidala for money, so you had no choice but to borrow money from me, right?"

As he spoke, his face suddenly showed an extremely exaggerated look of surprise, and he covered his mouth and widened his eyes, "Ah... you, you won't really ask Padmé for money, will you?"

Anakin-Skywalker's ears were a little red and he said clearly, "I have written an IOU!"

"How to pay it back? Go to bed with her and repay 1,000 credits?" Tang Xiao sneered.

"That's enough, you damn bastard!!" Anakin-Skywalker couldn't stand it anymore, he roared angrily and even used the Force.

Compared with Tang Xiao, he is indeed too immature, and he is easily moved by Tang Xiao.

If the two are competing against Lightsaber at this moment, then from this moment on, it can already be determined that Anakin-Skywalker has lost.

Tang Xiao's expression suddenly dimmed, "Of course I can tell you what happened to your mother."

"You... say it!" Anakin was still furious, but since Tang Xiao turned the topic to his mother, he could only break his front teeth and swallow blood to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Back then, I just received a signal from a lost T-850 robot and wanted to go out for a walk, so Tatooine went there. It was just a coincidence that I found your mother there. Because at that time, the T-850 was taking care of your mother." Tang Xiao said, "However, when I saw your mother, she was already dead, and she even had rigor mortis."

Anakin-Skywalker looked gloomy, but did not dare to interrupt and could only nod.

Tang Xiao smiled slightly and said, "At that time, I was researching and learning Life Force that it is possible to resurrect some kittens and puppies. I saw that your mother was really pitiful, so I wanted to try and resurrect her. As a result... I succeeded, but also failed."
