468. Traces of Dark Side
The short man who spoke opened his hood. He had a pair of big elf-like ears and a ponytail on his bald head. His face was covered with horrific scars, and one of his eyes was destroyed, but he had no intention of treating or covering these scars.
He is the master of Evan-Piel and one of the members of Jedi Order High Council.
"In this operation, Obi-Wan-Master Kenobi and I are mainly responsible for dealing with this person. Please help me and don't act rashly. This target is too dangerous and can kill 700 people. Whether it is Sith or not., none of them can be dealt with by ordinary Jedi Knight. "Master Evan-Piel spoke in a very unpleasant voice, and his throat was also damaged in countless previous battles.
"I guess I'm not an ordinary Jedi Knight." Anakin-Skywalker on the side lifted his hood, revealing a handsome face full of energy and sunshine.
It has been 8 years since Battle of Naboo, and he has joined Jedi Order for 8 years. In 8 years, he has grown from a young boy to the handsome 18-year-old boy he is now. Moreover, his unparalleled Force talent also allowed him to grow very quickly. He could master the the Force skills that other apprentices took several months to learn in a few days.
In addition, Anakin has a kind and sunny nature, and is very popular in Jedi Order. Apart from a pair of ancestors that he dare not mess with, life in Jedi Order is still very good.
It is precisely because of this that Master Yoda takes special care of Obi-Wan-Kenobi and takes Anakin out for more training, even if it makes him suffer some setbacks, it can temper his character.
"You still have a lot to learn, Anakin. And this time is not a practice, it is a very dangerous mission, otherwise there would be no need for Master Evan-Piel to personally take action." Obi-Wan admonished.
"Don't worry! No matter how dangerous it is, can it be as dangerous as the outbound exploration operation two years ago? If we weren't lucky enough to get off the ship early, we would have been almost trapped in Unknown Regions and never come back!" Anakin disagreed.
Master Evan-Piel's face changed and he scolded, "Have you forgotten Master Windu's warning? That incident cannot be discussed on any occasion!"
Anakin was still a little afraid of Evan-Piel. He quickly lowered his head and apologized. "I'm sorry, Master Evan, I made a mistake."
"Ha! Anakin, come and see! Is this Nal Hutta? It's so spectacular!" came another voice, relieving Anakin. The young Jedi apprentice raised his hood and looked through the porthole with interest at the numerous huge spiers that were characteristic of Nal Hutta.
He has naturally curly brown hair and freckles on his face. He looks one or two years older than Anakin. He is Jax-Pavan (Jax Pavan), Anakin-Skywalker's best friend among Jedi Order, and Jedi Master Evan-Piel's apprentice.
Anakin also walked over and marveled at the huge spire reaching into the sky.
"Nal Hutta is the only completely urbanized planet in the galaxy except Coruscant. Because this is only a satellite of Nal Hutta, there is insufficient space, so Hutt built countless such planets on Nal Hutta The tens of thousands of meters high spire provides additional space. "Obi-Wan-Kenobi said, "There is no law in this place. As long as you have money and power, you can do whatever you want here. It's like this time someone massacred 700 people, but no one can punish this murderer."
The shuttle docked on a spire, and Jedi Knight and his group of four entered the endless city of Nal Hutta.
On the street, you can see gorgeous holographic projection advertisements everywhere, and the preview of the Bonta Night Speeder Championship Dawn Star Planet stage is played repeatedly in the apricot position. The trailer repeatedly played the competition videos of this stage in previous years, and only saw dozens of podrakes speeding on Dawn Star Planet and Star Ring. When the cars triggered the mechanism, automatic turrets and flamethrowers would attack them.
The image of a podracer being thrown out of Star Ring's magnetic field, and then directly hit by a missile from the patrolling Wraith fighter, was repeatedly shown in close-up, stimulating the most barbaric part of the gamblers and spectators' hearts.
"Podracer...Dawn Star Planet..." Anakin-Skywalker looked at this advertisement and couldn't help but stop. This was once his childhood dream.
"Let's go Anakin, don't think so much. Dawn Star Planet is now one of the core planets of Separatists. It has been listed by Galactic Republic as one of the 100 most unsafe planets, and all trade has been cut off. Regardless of the past We have so many entanglements with them, now is not the best time to pay attention to them." Obi-Wan-Kenobi couldn't help but think of the time when he and his master Qui-Gon-Jin defeated the interstellar pirates and saved Dawn Star Planet Colonial Group.
Fast forward 11 years... things and people have changed.
Anakin nodded. He was actually missing his home far away Tatooine, his mother with disabled legs, the robots Rock-Johnson who lived and died with him, and his dream of driving a podracer.
He kept his thoughts deep in his heart, straightened his coarse robe, and followed the steps of Evan-Piel and Jax-Pavan in front of him.
The murder scene has been cleaned up, and the mutilated corpses have been taken away. Whether they are used to feed wild beasts, or thrown into a synthesis machine to make nutrients and sell them to the poor, it is a good method of disposal.
However, the scene was still filled with the smell of blood and burnt flesh.
It can be vaguely seen that this place was once a gorgeous venue, but now, the venue has been completely destroyed, as if a powerful giant rushed into the venue and lifted up the walls, pillars, chandeliers and even the floor.
There was a huge stone pillar with a diameter of two meters in front of it. It was pulled up by someone and smashed several Guardian into flesh. Now their bodies are still under the stone pillar and no one can take them out.
"Dark Side Force, no doubt. And... very powerful!" Obi-Wan-Kenobi frowned.
"Powerful, but disordered. Like a wild beast, it only knows how to kill." Evan-Piel added on the side, "If it were Sith Lord, they wouldn't be so random. Their minds are more careful, including Darth-Maul, who was killed by you, and he was also an extremely cunning person."
Obi-Wan-Kenobi nodded, "Darth-Maul feels more like a knife to me. There is another person holding the handle of the knife. Sith Lord is always presented by two people, one master and one disciple. Das-Maul is more like an apprentice. But this... can't be determined yet."
"Who does this venue belong to?" Evan-Piel turned to ask a etiquette robot next to him.
"Belongs to Ecto, a law-abiding businessman." the etiquette robot said.
"Businessmen who abide by the law will not come to Nal Hutta." Evan-Piel said coldly, "And the Hutt boss behind you, isn't he willing to come to see us?"
"I'm sorry, dear Mr. Jedi Knight. My boss Kiliak-Desilijic is the leading figure of Desilijic kajidic. He cannot come to such a dangerous place, nor can he meet directly with you who are equally dangerous." The etiquette robot said, "But he gave you an investigation direction-Ni Yongxiao."
Anakin said with a serious expression, "Ni Yongxiao, I know this person. He emerged from the collapse of Black Sun, the previous largest gang in the galaxy, and is a gang leader who is closely related to Fourth Group. It is said that he does everything, including weapons, spaceships, spices... but he does not do human trafficking."
"It seems we need to go see this Ni Yongxiao. This planet is full of hostility towards us. No matter what, we have to be careful. Anakin, Jax, don't cause trouble." Obi-Wan-Kenobi said.
