1241.Judgment

"Have you thought about it?" Tang Xiao sat on the sofa and looked at the woman in front of him who was handsome and handsome in a smart outfit. Her long black hair was combed into a long braid, and she had a unique style.

On her neck, she wore a classically styled neck ring, the six tentacles of which gripped her neck tightly.

She is Celeste Morne, the current owner of Muur Talisman, or in other words, Muur Talisman chose her.

Tang Xiao has left Moen here for several months, asking her to think carefully about whether she should serve herself.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Celeste Moen is just a by-product. What Tang Xiao really wants is Muur Talisman. It's just that this amulet seems to be targeting Moen, and it shouldn't be possible to take it off unless her head is chopped off.

But if you really do this, God knows what this amulet will do... After all, this thing is not a dead thing, it has the ability to act on its own.

Celeste Moen looked at Tang Xiao, who had not seen him for several months, frowned and said, "Your the Force has become weaker than before... even worse than me. But... your spirit... what exactly did you go through this time?"

Tang Xiao raised his palm to look at it, and said calmly, "This is just a temporary body of a clone. As for my true body, you probably don't want to see him now, and even I don't want to see my body."

"I don't quite understand what you mean."

"If my body boarded this mothership now, you should be able to see a whole ship of undead by tomorrow morning." Tang Xiao glanced at her, "I will have to stay in this body for a long time before I can fully control my power."

As he said that, he looked at the spaceship key that was still hanging at the door of the room and said, "Since you haven't left until now, does that mean you have decided to serve me?"

"If I leave, you will definitely kill me, won't you?" Celeste Moen asked.

"That's right. If I find that you are gone when I come back, then I will personally hunt you down, chop off your head, and get the amulet back." Tang Xiao answered very frankly, "But... at least you still have a chance, right?"

"There is absolutely no way I would let you use this amulet to harm others!" Celeste Morn said firmly.

Tang Xiao smiled coldly and said, "Oh? This is not like you. You just raised your hand and slaughtered millions of the Mandalorian troops on Jubal planet. It turns out that these millions of people are not human, right?"

"That army is preparing to invade Galactic Republic! And..."

"So now Galactic Republic is preparing to invade our Homeworld!" Tang Xiao interrupted her directly, "During this period, you should have gone to Dawn Star Planet to see it? Don't you think those people are not worthy of being protected?"

Celeste Morn lowered her head and said nothing.

Tang Xiao added, "Actually, before you kill the Mandalorian army on Jubal planet, if you go around Mandalore, will you still do it?"

"I... was controlled by this amulet at that time!" Celeste Morn said.

"Don't lie to yourself, Moen. At that time, the ghosts of Karness-Muur, who had been sleeping for more than 4,000 years, were not strong enough to influence your thinking." Tang Xiao said coldly, "It was you who actively chose to destroy this army! Because you realized that if this army started to advance, Galactic Republic would be defenseless!"

"... If not, maybe hundreds of millions of people will die on Alderaan..." Celeste Morn said softly.

"I said, don't lie to yourself." Tang Xiao interrupted her again, "You are just one of the many 'shadows' trained by Lucien Del Rey. How would you think so much? A shadow that only exists to complete a task, would you think about such long-term results?"

At this time, an old sigh came from the depths of Tang Xiao's mind.

Celeste Moen lowered her head and said nothing more.

"You haven't answered me yet, why don't you choose to leave?" Tang Xiao asked.

"You killed Karness-Muur and freed me from the 4,000-year nightmare. My life should be yours." When Celeste Morn said this, she did not dare to look directly into Tang Xiao's eyes and turned her face to the side, her ears turning red.

For someone like her who only knows missions and killing, this is already a fairly direct confession. After all, when Tang Xiao absorbed and dissolved the ghosts of Karness-Muur, the one who had skin contact with her many times was still near the lower abdomen.

In the past few months, she had seen a lot, heard a lot, and thought a lot.

When she saw Dawn Star Planet, which was stable and prosperous under the rule of Tang Xiao, she also understood the other side of this evil and dark Sith Lord. In fact, she had already made her decision, but she was so reserved that she didn't know how to speak.

However, Tang Xiao didn't appreciate it. He walked straight to his desk and opened the drawer. "Now that you have been freed from the 4000-year nightmare, how about trying to make your own choice this time?"

He took something out of the drawer and placed it on the table.

"This is..." Celeste Morn looked at this thing blankly.

This is a very beautiful purple mask. Beautiful patterns are dotted around the mask. On top of the mask, two black feather hair accessories are connected with black satin, which reveals a touch of otherworldly beauty in its grace. But if you look carefully, you can feel the faint sense of death emanating from the depths of the mask.

She couldn't help but step forward, hold the mask in her hands, and put it on her face.

The purple mask covered the upper half of her face above her nose, hiding her originally sharp expression, making her look like a peaceful angel. She tied two black feather hair accessories to her braid and hung down on her shoulders, like a pair of black wings.

"Judgment..." Under the Force sense contained in the mask, Celeste Morn gently said the name of the mask.

At this moment, she also understood the meaning behind 'Judgment'.

Tang Xiao said calmly, "Wear this mask, go to Onderon as 'Judgment', and then... make your own choice."

He walked over and raised his hand to gently brush the pair of black wings behind Celeste Morn's head. This gesture made the two of them very close, and he could feel Morn's breathing becoming a little heavier.

"After 4,000 years of waking up from the dream, choose once for yourself." Tang Xiao said.
