Chapter 498: Jedi Knight
In order to avoid the patrols of the Imperial Stormtroopers, Qiao Lu and 2B carefully shuttle between the streets and alleys, thanks to the fact that there are all kinds of aliens in fancy costumes here, so they are not conspicuous in their shabby cloaks.
As they made their way through the crowd, 2B keenly discovered that many of them had weapons hidden on their bodies, and since they were hiding from the Imperial Army, they often ran into each other.
"These people ······"
2B was about to open his mouth to remind, but Qiao Lu said without looking back:
"Well, I saw it."
There would never be so many heavily armed stowaways infiltrating the city, they must be the local rebel forces, probably mistakenly believing that the Imperial Army is here to exterminate them, and are secretly organizing a counterattack.
The missing pilot is probably in their hands, but now is not a good time to make contact with it. After all, judging from the current situation, the rebels will soon be fighting the Imperial Army.
Once the fight starts here, Qiao Lu and they will undoubtedly be implicated, and it is also an opportunity for Qiao Lu to have a chance to gain the trust of the rebels.
"2B, get ready, maybe we're going to kill it later."
"Yes!"
The question is how to disguise her identity, a civilian is not enough to get the attention of the rebels.
Just as Qiao Lu was thinking about what to do next, an unfamiliar voice suddenly came from behind him:
"Hey, guy up front!"
Qiao Lu thought that it was someone else who was shouting, so he didn't care much about it, until the other party shouted again:
"Hey, there's a robot guy up ahead!"
Qiao Lu suddenly stopped, because there were no robots around him at all, except for 2B, which was an artificial intelligence robot Jiye model, but it was basically impossible for anyone to see through her identity at a glance.
"That's right, I'm just calling you."
Hearing such a shout, Qiao Lu had to slowly turn his head to see who the Divine had noticed 2B's identity.
What caught my eye was a blind man who was blind in both eyes, on crutches, and looked like Donnie Yen.
Judging by his outfit as a monk, his shabby clothes made him look more like a beggar, but it didn't hide the mysterious aura that emanated from him.
"May the Force of others be with you." He greeted Jorry, "I'm Chiru Inway, the guardian of the Kaiber Temple, but unfortunately there's nothing left to protect now. ”
The Temple of Khayber refers to a towering religious building in the holy city of Jada, a sacred place in the hearts of the Force. It's a pity that the Imperial Army broke into the temple in order to snatch the Kaiber Crystal, and now it has basically been looted, leaving only an empty shell.
Qiao Lu is even more curious about how he sees through 2B's identity when he is blind, and why he stops himself.
Due to the sudden revelation of his identity, 2B behind Qiao Lu had already quietly put his hand on the weapon under the cloak, ready to take action to deal with the mysterious blind man in front of him.
Not far from Chiru's side, a man armed with a heavy submachine cannon was hiding in the shadows, as if he was also on guard, always on the lookout for what might happen to Chiru.
Qiao Lu motioned with his hand to 2B not to be nervous, and at the same time nodded slightly to the man in the shadows in friendship. Jolu knew they weren't enemies, but he was just curious as to why Chiru was targeting him.
After the tense atmosphere between the two sides eased slightly, Qilu leaned over with his crutches and asked Qiao Lu in a low voice:
"Excuse me······ Are you a Jedi? ”
The sudden question caught Qiao Lu a little off guard, but he still calmly asked, "Why do you think so?" ”
"I'm a Force sensitive, and while I can't harness the Force, I sense a powerful Force in you. I can't think of anyone else other than the Jedi who could do it. ”
This surprised Qiao Lu, who knew nothing about the Force, let alone any powerful Force.
Unless, the other party is referring to the psionic energy in him.
To be honest, psionic energy and the Force do have many similarities, both are supernatural and ubiquitous mysterious forces that exist in the universe, and they are an energy field formed by all living beings, which can be affected by the user's mental power, and can also affect the user's emotions and will.
There are two possibilities now, first, due to the similarity in nature between the Force and psionic powers, Chiru, who is sensitive to the Force, mistakenly thinks that the psionic energy mastered by Qiao Lu is the Force, so he thinks he is a Jedi.
Second, psionic energy and the Force are basically the same thing, but in different planes, different ways of using them have developed.
In StarCraft the plane it is called psionics, and in Star Wars it is called the Force. It's like a different school of practice cheats, the specific moves are different, and they actually use the same energy.
It is not yet known what the exact reason is, if it is the first case, if he meets a real Jedi, Qiao Lu will undoubtedly be exposed immediately.
But if it is the second type, even the master of the Jedi Knights cannot deny that Qiao Lu does have a powerful force.
Either way, at least for now, Chiru couldn't tell.
After thinking about it carefully, Qiao Lu decided to make up an identity and said:
"I've given up my status as a Jedi Knight to survive under the rule of the Empire, and I don't want to be involved in any war."
At the very beginning of the proclamation of the First Galactic Empire, the Emperor issued a purge, and any Jedi who did not want to join the Empire, whether it was a Jedi Master or a young apprentice, would be brutally murdered without exception.
In such a context, it is a matter of course to give up his Jedi identity and go into hiding.
Qiao Lu disguised himself as such a Jedi survivor, so that he could save a lot of explanation.
After receiving Qiao Lu's affirmative reply, Qiru smiled and said seductively, "But you haven't fallen into the dark side to join them, and you still adhere to the creed of the Jedi, right?" ”
Qiao Lu shook his head and said, "I've thrown away the lightsaber and forgotten all the Force moves. Now I just want to be an ordinary person, you better go find someone else. ”
"Throwaway lightsabers can be picked up again, and forgotten moves can be relearned. As long as you believe in the Force, you're a Jedi. ”
Everything was in Qiao Lu's calculations, and Qilu's reaction could be said to be right in the middle, allowing Qiao Lu to find an excellent identity to contact the rebels.
"So, what do I do?"
Qiao Lu said knowingly, from today onwards, he will be a Jedi Knight who has reformed and started anew!
