Star Wars: The Silver Pledge

Sean reflected on what he had done.

Did it save a lot of people? Maybe, he killed Xia Xi recklessly, which can be regarded as indirectly saving many people. However, this kind of logic that killing is equal to saving people is itself a challenge to the concept of the Jedi, and it is difficult for people to say happily: kill well, kill more.

In fact, purely from a utilitarian point of view, he should never have left [Xun] from the very beginning, let alone be involved in a series of subsequent turmoil. Although he had many reasons to leave at that time, in essence, he succumbed to A momentary impulse.

But now he is deeply trapped in the space city, and he seems to be close to his master, but in fact he is far away. If he wants to continue to complete his mission to dry the galaxy, he needs to redouble his efforts as the price of impulsiveness.

Xiao En's silence made Huang Xuan feel curious, but at this moment there was a sudden knock on the door.

Huang Xuan got up quickly, and threw a torn blanket to Sean, and Sean put down the porridge bowl quickly, and lifted the blanket to cover his body.

Huang Xuan opened the creaking sliding door, and greeted the visitors with a smile.

"Oh, it's you, what's the matter?"

"To remind you not to cause trouble."

A rather sharp man's voice sounded outside the door, with a thick nasal voice when speaking, and he was not even very fluent in Qian Kun language.

Next to the man, there was another vague female voice: "This time the search for criminals is serious. I don't care if you hide or not, at least don't be caught. If something happens, our Everyone on the street will be implicated by you."

Huang Xuan giggled and said: "I'm a newcomer, how dare I cause trouble, the red face must kill me!"

"That's good, Pululu." The man said, blowing his nose in a long series, "I have another thing to remind you, you have been elected as the representative of this street."

"Eh?" Huang Xuan was puzzled, "Representative? What do you mean? Is it an image spokesperson or something? Is there any advertising revenue?"

The woman sneered vaguely: "It's a beautiful idea. What kind of spokesperson is needed in such a dirty place? If you want to speak for it, go to Tianxuan District."

The man made a long series of nasal sounds, interrupted his companion's taunt, and said: "It seems that you don't know, then let me tell you, the so-called representatives are the unlucky people who suffer on behalf of this street. If this incident In the end, it couldn’t be settled smoothly, for example, the people above couldn’t find the culprit, and finally pursued the responsibility to Tianhuang District and our street. Then, if the real culprit is not found, you are the real culprit.”

Huang Xuan made an unbelievable expression: "Wait, what's the real murderer? I didn't do anything?!"

"So you are the representative, otherwise do you expect other people to jump out and take responsibility? Pululululu, you still have time to run now, the red-faced tenant should have this way."

After finishing speaking, the couple left, and when Huang Xuan returned to the house, she had a wry smile on her face.

"Did you hear that? Well, it's no wonder people here keep telling me that when I met [Puxian people] (the original race, the male is a flying creature about 50 cm in length, with an unusually large nose and well-developed lungs , the female is a humanoid creature with a height of about 1.5 meters, unable to fly, and looks very bloated, with slurred speech.) It must not be a good thing, every time he takes his partner to send a notice, he complains... Alas, no wonder The income here is high, but no one is willing to come. The work in Tianhuang District 5 is indeed difficult to do, and this person has been hand-picked as a sacrifice within a few days of coming here."

Sean said, "Sorry to trouble you..."

Huang Xuan couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and said in surprise: "Eh? Don't say sorry! I'm not complaining, you can rest assured that you can live here to recover from your injuries, and there is nothing to trouble you. Listen to the meaning of 'Peter Pan', the so-called representative , I will only be pushed out when the upper echelons have been held accountable all the way here, and no one will take the blame. But generally things will not develop to that point."

Sean said, "You don't have to comfort me..."

"I'm not trying to comfort you." Huang Xuan said, "Although I haven't been here for a long time, and even just learned about the representative system, believe me, I have a general understanding of the rules of the slums in District 5. Here Although they have always been looked down upon by the people above, they are actually very united and very energetic, especially when fighting against their superiors."

As Huang Xuan said, she pointed to the top of her head.

In fact, according to the architectural structure of [Li], Tianxuan District and Tianhuang District are basically at the same height, and there is no upper-lower relationship. However, the hierarchical relationship that exists in the social structure and the chain of contempt is clear at a glance.

"The people in the Tianhuang District are really miserable, especially in the slums like District 5, where even the [poor] light is stingy. Not to mention other public resources, water and power cuts are common Sometimes, the garbage trucks from Tianxuan District come over to take out the garbage directly..."

"The people at the upper level have always treated the people here as animals, so naturally the animals will not treat the people above as people. Don't look at those mercenaries showing off their power just now, making this place a mess, but if there are mercenaries from the Tianxuan District If you dare to come here and do your best, then everyone will immediately unite and act as one.”

Speaking of this, Huang Xuan also laughed: "So you don't have to worry, the people above are the ones who issued the search and arrest warrant this time, and the people here probably only think you are a hero, and they won't take the initiative to let you out."

Huang Xuan's smiling face was extremely precious in this dark and damp metal shack, but Xiao En couldn't just accept this set of arguments.

He shook his head and said, "Risks still exist. You can't place too much hope on this underlying unity, it's too fragile."

When traveling with Master Mostima, Sean has seen too many disintegrated unity.

The clique formed by poverty and oppression will collapse as soon as the environment changes slightly. For example, as long as they promise a few houses in Tianxuan District, at least half of the people in the whole street will become traitors on the spot. And now it is nothing more than that the rulers have not yet offered a high enough price.

But it's only a matter of time.
