2704. Mysterious object

"Sith? Haha. Boy, not everything in this world is black or white. On the color palette, there is another color... called gray." The voice said coldly.

"What do you want to do?" Carl-Kestis's face darkened.

He realized that this person must be Force-sensitive, and he was definitely very powerful. If he hadn't taken the initiative to speak out, I wouldn't even have felt his presence!

However, this also shows that this person does not seem to have any murderous intention towards him. Because if there is really murderous intention, no matter how well he hides it, he will still feel a premonition of danger.

"Stop your curiosity and watch this thing. Before I find another way, don't let this thing fall into the hands of Tang Xiao." The man said.

"Tang Xiao? Archangel of Death?" Carl-Kestis frowned.

"You used to belong to Jedi Order, right? You're pretty good at hiding your aura. If I hadn't put the the Force mark on this thing, I wouldn't be able to detect the the Force in your body." The man said, "And judging from your behavior, you are not Dark Side."

"Are you so sure?" Carl-Kestis asked.

"Haha." The man sneered, "If you are a believer in Dark Side and you are willing to come to Kingdom of Dawn, then you must have come to work for Archangel of Death, and you will definitely be reused. Do you still need to screw in such a small company?"

Carl-Kestis remained silent, he didn't know what to say. After all, this person is right, Kingdom of Dawn is currently not so attractive to those Jedi Knight or Dark Jedi Knight, or Dark Followers. Although the situation is much better than a few years ago, many Dark Followers still choose Galactic Empire for their own privileges.

In the past, it was because of the strength of Das-Sidious, but now, it is because of the different political environments between the two parties.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current Kingdom of Dawn is not that corrupt, its politics are quite clear, and its social environment is extremely involution. As Dark Followers, what you want is to rely on your own strength to enjoy yourself and do whatever you want. Why do you have to go to Kingdom of Dawn to be restricted by others?

"Since you were Jedi Knight, you should know that Tang Xiao is one of the most powerful Sith Lord in this galaxy. And the existence of Sith Lord itself is the destruction of the Force." The person said, "You should also know the massacre that happened at Palanci Planet, right?"

Carl-Kestis's face began to look a little ugly, "I know... the battle between Archangel of Death and Darth-Sidious resulted in the death of more than one million civilians on Palanci space city."

"And the deaths of hundreds of thousands of soldiers caused by this meaningless military operation." The man added, "So, if the power of the two of them is allowed to continue to increase, the outcome may be a complete imbalance of the Force, which may even cause the destruction of the galaxy."

Carl-Kestis looked down at the communicator in his hand, weighed it and said, "So you mean, this thing can make them stronger?"

"Especially Archangel of Death." The man emphasized.

"Then why not destroy it?" Carl-Kestis asked.

"Because I can't do it." The man paused and said, "Okay, I have said more than I should. Don't ask any more questions. If you want to watch Sith Lord finally completely destroy the Force and destroy the galaxy, then you can give this thing to Archangel of Death. But don't worry, once you do this, even if you escape to the edge of the universe, I will come to you and kill you!"

Carl-Kestis looked down at the memory. At that moment, the emptiness and ferocious face suddenly appeared, biting towards him! He quickly threw the memory on the table.

"Hide it, don't let anyone find it, and don't play with it yourself. If this thing is opened, Archangel of Death will sense it immediately. Then people from Twilight Covenant will come to your door right away, remember!" the man warned.

Carl-Kestis nodded. It's not that he believed this person, but he understood that it was definitely right not to let Tang Xiao get this thing.

If it were before, he might have hesitated. After all, it was Kingdom of Dawn that gave him a peaceful life. But after witnessing the disaster of Palanci Planet, he no longer thought so...

The existence of Sith Lord is a threat to all life in this galaxy, there is no other possibility! Even a leader like Tang Xiao, who seems to be working hard to govern, will still make such crazy moves after gradually reaching the peak of Dark Side!

Seeing that Carl agreed, the man seemed to be relieved and his tone softened, "Okay, don't worry. This thing has been specially processed and is not so easy to be found. The the Force look like this thing before There seems to be some overflow, but this is because my friends on the road were wiped out and many people died around it. It should have calmed down a lot now. Of course, if you have other means to cover up the aura of the Force, then I also recommend that you use it."

"I will." Carl-Kestis said.

"Boy, your training isn't over yet? And then you meet Order Sixty-Six?" the man said.

"That is in the past. I am no longer... the me before." Carl-Kestis originally wanted to say that I am no longer Jedi Knight, but doesn't this mean admitting it? He quickly changed his tune.

The man seemed to sigh slightly and said, "I have some data here, which are images of several Jedi Master's lectures. Next time I find a chance to come over, I will give you those data. I hope it can be helpful to you."

"This... I have..." Carl-Kestis also wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it. After all, he had never met this person before. Although his attitude was very sincere, he still couldn't just trust him.

However, the voice did not appear again, and it had obviously left.

Carl-Kestis took a deep breath, stood up, turned off the lights in the apartment completely, then closed his eyes, and carefully stretched out his Force sense.

But nothing was found, there were no clues around. On the contrary, he felt another faint threat coming from the front of the apartment building.

When I came to the window and took a peek, I saw blue and red flashes of light flashing at the front door of the apartment building. It looked like Security Bureau.

Carl-Kestis looked at the memory in his hand, squatted down quickly, and picked up a floor tile from under the bed. There was a hidden compartment underneath, with a small holographic projector and a Lightsaber inside!

He put the storage in and covered the floor tiles. Then he quickly took off his clothes, put on his pajamas, and lay on the bed pretending to be sleeping.

After a while, there was a noise outside the door, and then the doorbell of the apartment door was rang, and it was pressed hard and impatiently.

Carl-Kestis stood up and opened the door, only to see two police officers and several B-2 super combat robots standing at the door. These B-2 super combat robots were spray-painted in dark blue and white. Their right hands were put back on their chests, but the barrels of the twin blaster machine guns mounted on their hands stretched out directly, clearly visible.

"Name? Age? Job?" the Sheriff asked impatiently.

"Carl-Kestis, 26 years old, mechanic, currently working at Sunny Recycling Company." Carl-Kestis answered honestly.

The Sheriff picked up a scanner and flashed it in his face very rudely, then checked the information, and after confirming that it was correct, he said, "There is a spy from the Galactic Empire sneaking into this area recently. Be careful not to run around. Don't go out at night. If you have any information, no matter how big or small, report it immediately!"

"Uh, okay." Carl-Kestis agreed.

"Okay, let's do a routine inspection." The Sheriff said, taking out the scanner and scanning his apartment.

Carl-Kestis blocked it. Originally, they wanted to say something like you violating privacy, but the Blaster rifle on the wrists of those B-2 super combat robots immediately clicked and loaded into the empty chamber. The mechanical impact sound made Carl wake up and quickly ducked out of the way to let them scan.

The Sheriff held a scanner, and the light green light scanned every room carefully. Carl-Kestis stared at the light, fearing that what he was hiding would be discovered, but fortunately, the scan yielded no results.

The Sheriff put away the scanner and said, "That's it. Boy, be careful! Don't touch anything that's none of your business. This is a deadly thing."

Carl-Kestis Although he knew that he was not talking about the memory he had just hidden, he still felt a little nervous. He nodded quickly. "Okay, okay. I won't do anything unnecessary."

The Sheriff didn't say much, walked over and knocked on the door of the house next to him. However, the person in the household was not there, so the Sheriff reported into the communicator for a while, and then an octopus-like robot came over. It protruded many fine tools from the mechanical arm. After connecting to the circuit of the door, it opened the door directly and walked in to scan.

Carl-Kestis looked around and found that the battle this time was really big. There were several Destroyer droids walking around downstairs. There was a faint buzzing sound in the air, but when I looked up, there was nothing. Apparently there is Banshee Fighter hovering in the sky.

This made him a little worried.

The next day, Carl-Kestis went to work as usual. As soon as he went there, he heard his boss Zhang Guomin lock himself in the office and curse wildly, and the curse was extremely unpleasant.

"What happened?" Carl turned to ask one of his colleagues, Milner.

Milner shrugged, curled his lips and said, "What else could it be? The people from the Security Bureau came over and took away the core host yesterday. They gave the boss 500,000 Number Four currency."

Two million turned into half a million, no wonder he was cursing. Carl-Kestis curled his lips.

At this time, Zhang Guomin, who saw Carl coming in from the office computer, opened the door and walked out, pulled him into the office very eagerly, closed the door with a click, and said in a low voice, "My dear little Carl, that thing! How is that thing? Have you decrypted it?"

Carl-Kestis shook his head. He didn't want his boss to get involved, so he said, "No, Security Bureau came to our door last night. They surrounded our apartment building. The memory was also confiscated."

"Those bastards! Vampires! Damn it!!" Zhang Guomin stamped his feet and cursed, "Then what? Did they give you money?"

"1,000 yuan." Carl-Kestis said casually, "Boss, you won't ask me for it, right?"

"Forget it, you keep it, keep it." Zhang Guomin waved his hand, "These guys are just crazy. They set up traps everywhere today to find people and searched many places. I don't know what pissed them off again."

"Galactic Empire's spy." Carl-Kestis said, "I heard it from the Sheriff yesterday."

"Hmph! Galactic Empire." Zhang Guomin said with a cold face, "Once we trample them to death, there won't be so many bad things anymore!"

Carl-Kestis nodded, this is the state of mind of Zhang Guomin, and even many Fourth Civilization civilians. They do not like the current government of Kingdom of Dawn, but they also hope that the current government can win.

This day's work went by in such a hazy way, everyone was absent-minded. In the afternoon, Zhang Guomin simply announced to get off work early.

This was finally a good thing, Carl-Kestis was also worried, so they quickly took public transportation back to Homeworld.

After thinking about it, he felt that this matter was still very unreliable. Especially that memory, not only Zhang Guomin, but also several other colleagues saw it.

If Security Bureau people really want to dig deeper, then the situation may be even worse.

The next morning, Carl-Kestis was woken up by the beeping sound of the communicator before he could get up. He turned on the communicator and found that it was Zhang Guomin who was looking for him.

After the connection was connected, the boss's fat body appeared in the projection. He was sweating profusely and said eagerly, "Little Carl! What's going on over there? People from the National Security Bureau are here today! They heard that you took away the memory. Didn't you collect the things I told you to take? They immediately asked the sheriff, but it turned out that they didn't confiscate it at all!"

He lowered his voice as he spoke, "Don't have other thoughts! You also know that it may be related to the the Empire spy! Stop hiding it and hand it over. The National Security Bureau people are coming to find you now!"

Carl-Kestis was shocked in his heart. He was really afraid of something. National Security Bureau found it so quickly!

There began to be a faint sound of sirens outside the building, coming closer and closer, obviously aimed at him.

So... what to do? what to do?

Carl-Kestis came to the bed and opened the floor grid, holding the memory in his hand, but his eyes fell on his own Lightsaber.

"Are you going to hand this thing over? Or... run away?" Carl-Kestis hesitated.

At this time, the illusory face appeared again, bared its teeth and claws in front of him, and then disappeared in an instant. Carl-Kestis's expression gradually became firm.
