1257. Brainwashing and control?
"What did you say? Being brainwashed and controlled?" Ploo-Kong looked at the very ordinary-looking Galactic Republic intelligence officer in front of him in bewilderment, frowning.
Just now, agent Republic Intelligence Department suddenly used the emergency communication channel to find them. Logically speaking, such a situation is against the regulations, because the level of intelligence personnel is not enough. In addition to their direct troops, the contact with Jedi Knight should at least be at the general level.
But because the information was too urgent, they could only send it directly to Ploo-Kong.
"Yes." The intelligence officer nodded and said, "According to our large-scale sampling analysis, many people in Rendili Planet changed their positions almost overnight, from being opposed to Rendili StarDrive to now silently or even secretly supporting it. This situation is abnormal."
Jedi Knight Jing Fang said, "There is nothing wrong with such a thing. Maybe Rendili StarDrive gave them a price that they can't refuse? It's impossible for Jedi Knight to arrest a person just because his position changes. Especially now we don't have definite evidence that Rendili StarDrive wants to join Separatists."
"It would be reasonable if one or two people, or even a dozen people, changed their attitudes, but it would be difficult to make sense if hundreds of people suddenly did this. Therefore, we made a bold hypothesis, that is, these people may have been brainwashed and controlled." The intelligence officer said.
At this time, Jax-Pavan, who was more flexible in thinking, suddenly said, "Actually, whether these people have changed their attitudes or not, it is not the point. The key is that what we have to do is to ensure that Rendili StarDrive will not betray Galactic Republic. On this basis, what they want to do is their internal matter. But why... you seem to want Rendili to betray?"
Jing Fang also suddenly realized. "Yes! After our investigation during this period, it seems that you are forcing Rendili to betray! What is going on?"
The intelligence officer was stunned. Faced with Jedi Knight's eyes that penetrated his soul, he didn't even have the strength to lie. His mouth moved, but he didn't know what to say.
Now he finally understood why he had to be at a general level or above to report directly to Jedi Knight, because once these issues were involved, he, a little intelligence officer, could not decide what should be said and what should not be said.
At this moment, another woman's voice suddenly came from behind, "You guys made a mistake, Jedi Knight. It's not that we are forcing Rendili to betray, but that Rendili wanted to betray first, and we chose to use relatively radical means to detonate the conflict and lure out the hidden Separatists."
Ploo-Master Kong, who had been sitting there meditating, raised his head and said, "Are you the undercover bounty Hunter? Are you a Force-sensitive?"
"That's right. Just call me Aden-Lin." Aden-Lin came over and sat on the table with a carefree attitude. "As for Force-sensitive... yes, I do know how to use some tricks."
Even Ploo-Master Kong can't tell the difference between the well-hidden Dark Side Force on Arden-Lin. After all, the way of using and practicing Dark Side Force more than 24,000 years ago is completely different from what it is now.
Arden-Lin continued, "It is precisely because of this that we have monitored some radical elements in Rendili StarDrive. But now the situation is very strangely reversed - the radical elements have died down, and those who once supported Galactic Republic have changed their stance overnight. Shouldn't this matter be investigated thoroughly?"
"Are you the bounty Hunter who originally sent out the intelligence that Rendili StarDrive was going to betray?" Jax-Pavan asked, "Why haven't you come over to contact us during this time?"
"I'm very busy. I'm different from you Jedi who just sit at home and meditate. I still have my own work to do." Arden-Lin stabbed them coldly.
"What was the reason for the riot on Planet Defense Fleet two weeks ago? You killed many people in it, right?" Jax-Pavan continued to ask.
"I have already mentioned that riot in the report. It was Rendili StarDrive who wanted to assassinate Fleet Commander and take control of the fleet, so they started the riot. I happened to be on the fleet flagship when I received the tip, so I killed some people and quelled the riot so that Planet Defense Fleet would still be loyal to Galactic Republic... You're welcome." Aden-Lin replied.
Jing Fang snorted coldly, "I hope it is true as you said. Otherwise, if we find out that Republic Intelligence Department played a disgraceful role in the Rendili incident, we will definitely take care of this matter to the end, even during the war."
"Oh! Then let's just deal with it, righteous Jedi Knight, hehehehehe." There is absolutely no way Aden-Lin has any good feelings towards Jedi Knight. She sneered mockingly, "In addition, I will give you a job. Jorgen City Mayor Daman-Lopez has been noticed by people around him recently. He is also one of the people who suddenly changed his stance, so the investigation is left to you. Maybe there are really signs of brainwashing in him?"
After finishing speaking, he left directly without waiting for the Jedi Knights to reply.
She felt very happy in her heart. Just as the Dark Side Force user who called himself Sith Lord Das-Sidious said, one word could drive Jedi Knight to do things for them. This feeling was far more satisfying than killing them!
Ah, Jedi Knight...
Bright Jedi Knight...
Hehehehehehe...
As usual, Daman-Lopez came to the living room and sat blankly on the floor, watching the news program playing on the holographic TV in front of him - this was also the program where he appeared the most.
Yes, it was also on this show that he could often see his clones active everywhere. Sitting on his favorite Mayor's Office sofa and giving orders, but as his real self, he can only sit here and can't do anything.
Another interview. The clone has been very fond of such interview programs these days, and talks about his political ideas in this relatively informal setting.
And he talked about the war more than anything else. He kept hinting that the instigator of this war was the culprit for Rendili Planet's predicament, but he never made it clear who this person was, which led to countless topics.
As usual, after some great reasoning, clone Daman started chatting with the host about daily life.
While we were chatting, the host suddenly asked, "... Mr. Daman, your daughter suddenly took leave of absence from school in the past few days. We also hope that you can pay more attention to your family during your busy schedule."
"Oh, haha, yes..." Clone Daman suddenly showed a strange smile, "That's right... that's right. My daughter has not been in good health recently, so I have been at Homeworld, taking care of her meticulously..."
The seemingly normal conversation had a different flavor to the real Daman. He suddenly jumped up from the ground, roared and beat the door, and roared loudly, "Get out of here! Get out of here!! What did you do to my daughter! What did you do to my daughter!!!"
"Of course, take good care of her." Das-Malthael's figure suddenly appeared behind him.
As soon as he saw him, Daman lost all courage. He knelt on the ground, cried and begged, "Please let my daughter go... I know it's wrong... I know it's wrong... I can do whatever you ask me to do! Please let my daughter go..."
He couldn't imagine what a terrible devastation it would be for his daughter if what he thought happened really happened!
This is something that could completely ruin her life!
"Oh? Have you really made a decision? Are you willing to do anything?" Das-Malthael did not refuse directly this time, but asked.
Daman seemed to have grasped the only life-saving straw and said quickly, "You can do anything you want me to do! You can do anything you want me to do! Even if you ask me to strip naked and run naked at the door of Galactic Senate, I will do it!! Please... please..."
"Hehehehe, okay then. I'll give you a chance... one, only chance." Das-Malthael said, "Go and be yourself, and then, when Jedi Knight investigates you... you know what to do."
"Jedi Knight... are you investigating me?" Daman was stunned.
Das-Malthael smiled coldly, "Yes. Why do you think Jedi Knight found you by such a coincidence? Because you seem to be very obedient recently, so I dropped some clues to guide Galactic Republic's intelligence personnel to investigate you. Then, you will get this only chance to be yourself... Don't let me down, otherwise... hehehehehe."
Daman prostrated himself at his feet, "I swear! I swear! I will always be loyal to you!"
