2712. Choice and rebirth
Carl-Kestis quickly told the story about Immortal God-King Das-Andeddu. He said sincerely, "I had no intention of getting involved in Kingdom of Dawn's dispute, but I can't sit back and watch such an evil object fall into the hands of Tang Xiao, especially he is a Sith Lord."
Zhang Guomin fell into a long silence. After half a minute, he slowly said, "You should know, child. Of course we know what evil is and what light is... But, Tang Xiao has never brought that evil to the people. And if we cannot win this war, then how will Galactic Empire treat us? For us, this is the greatest evil. So, child... I'm sorry."
Carl-Kestis's eyes dimmed, but he did not give up yet. He said loudly, "This has nothing to do with victory or defeat, and has nothing to do with war! This will only bring the death of countless innocent people! Everyone living in Kingdom of Dawn understands that we are winning this war! But the victory of the war should never be like this!"
Zhang Guomin was silent again. After a long time, his deep voice sounded again, "Sorry kid, this is for victory. Kingdom of Dawn must pay a price for its survival. The evil means in your eyes may be the only hope we can hold on to."
Carl-Kestis's voice trembled slightly. "Then you are no different from Sith! You have already known the answer in your heart, and you have understood right and wrong, but you chose to turn a blind eye... You..."
With a click, the signal from the communication terminal was completely interrupted, and Quinlan-Vos turned off the communicator.
He looked at Carl and said, "The time is up. If we continue, we will be tracked. Moreover, he is also very determined, don't do meaningless things."
Carl-Kestis shook his head and said, "He is not such a person."
"No matter what his personal character is, you must understand that this is Kingdom of Dawn. Do you know their slogan? 'I am the Calamity'. They claim to be the incarnation of natural disasters, and they must win at all costs. You must understand that this is a team that started from the beginning. A country that aims at war, an extreme J.G.ism country. "Quinlan-Vos said, "The idea that each of them has been instilled since childhood is how to win this war and how to conquer the entire galaxy."
Carl-Kestis lowered their heads.
Quinlan-Vos continued, "The biggest difference between the Galactic Empire and Kingdom of Dawn is that the people over there at the Galactic Empire live for themselves, while the people at Kingdom of Dawn live for the collective. There is no doubt that in terms of the current situation of the regime, Kingdom of Dawn is much better., but this is because Galactic Empire is extremely corrupt, but not because of how good Kingdom of Dawn is. Kingdom of Dawn's order is based on the sacrifice of individual freedom. They rationalize all means with the 'correct' goal, but they don't know that when the means themselves are corrupted, the so-called victory is just the beginning of another disaster. This is why we oppose Kingdom of Dawn."
Carl-Kestis took out the memory containing the Kyber Crystal, shook his head and said, "I don't want to resist Kingdom of Dawn, I just understand that this thing cannot be obtained by Tang Xiao, because once it falls into his hands, it will become a tool of massacre."
Quinlan-Vos smiled coldly, pulled out Lightsaber and said, "Forget it, this is not important anymore. That person must have leaked our whereabouts, and there is no other way, so prepare to kill..."
Carl-Kestis lowered his head, feeling lost. The memory in his hand was slightly hot, as if to remind him of the fate he was about to face.
Is it worth risking everything just for the justice in your heart?
However, at this moment, the communicator suddenly vibrated slightly, and a message was sent: [Play-H Bar in the west of the city, go find 'Sea Dog', the connection code is - set sail, rain or shine. Now National Security Bureau has located you... run away...]
Carl-Kestis raised his head in great surprise and showed the communicator to Quinlan-Vos, "Boss, he is willing to help us!"
Quinlan-Vos was very calm. He took off Ella Sekula's Lightsaber from her waist, hung it on his belt on the other side, and said calmly, "Don't run around in a hurry, plan the route well. The more times like this, the more important it is to calm down and make a decision before taking action."
He picked up an apple, took a bite, and then started working on the terminal.
The roar of the engine could be heard faintly outside, and Force sense kept reminding him of the approaching danger. But Quinlan-Vos remained unmoved.
At this moment, in Sunny Recycling Company's simple office building, Zhang Guomin's expression was solemn, and the ravines on his face became more obvious, making him seem much older. The other communicator in his hand clearly displayed [Sent Complete], and the content was exactly the location Carl-Kestis told him just now, and the recipient—Kingdom of Dawn National Security Bureau.
"I will not betray my motherland, Carl. But you are right, only in this matter... it has nothing to do with victory." He murmured to himself, looking at the approaching police Speeder group outside the window, a trace of pain flashed deep in his eyes.
He took out a cigarette, lit it for himself, and took a deep breath, "Then, let me see, you can practice your so-called righteous determination!"
Annaj Planet Umbrella Hospital In the capital, a heavy footstep was heard. Then, the door of the operating room was opened, and a huge figure walked in.
[Sir, we are currently undergoing surgery. Please leave.]Umbrella medical robot, which was performing surgery on Augus, turned around and said.
"I won't affect your surgery... On the contrary, I will make it more meaningful." The visitor opened his mouth and smiled.
This is a rare Besalisk. He is also wearing a brown robe. The mark on it shows that it belongs to Twilight Covenant!
Several Star Squad members following him looked at him with worried faces, and one of the women said, "Pang-Master Krell... Is this... too cruel..."
This Besalisk is none other than Master former Jedi Order, Pang-Krell!
He raised his huge palm covered with scars and pressed it gently on the edge of the operating table. The Force surged like an undercurrent, "This is his own choice, Xin Ling." His voice was as low as thunder, echoing between the metal walls, "The moment his heart was lost in hatred, he had already made a choice - he turned his back on the light. Only darkness is his final destination."
As he spoke, he lightly tapped Augus's forehead. The powerful the Force instantly removed the anesthesia effect. Augus suddenly opened his eyes, and the pain of being disemboweled and operated on instantly overwhelmed him!
The pupils contracted violently, a hoarse roar came out of Augus's throat, and his body continued to twitch due to the severe pain and the impact of the Force. Pang-Krell looked down at him, with no pity in his eyes, only cold determination.
"Feel it!" he whispered, "Pain is the beginning of awakening, hatred is the fire of your new life."
The lights in the operating room suddenly flickered, and Dark Side Force wrapped around Augus's nerves like a tide, tearing apart and reshaping his consciousness.
Pang-Krell said coldly, "If you can't stick to your heart under my command, then go to Dark Side and become a killing machine..."
