The Death Knell

The archaeologist who was concentrating on her work was frightened by the sudden sound, and her whole body trembled as if she had been electrocuted. A long string of garbled codes was displayed on the terminal screen, which she pressed in a hurry.

Turning around, she saw the familiar black and yellow armor. She immediately rolled her eyes and twisted her mouth:

"I was shocked. This is an uninhabited planet. I thought a Force ghost appeared."

She is still the same as before, wearing the leather aviator hat with a pair of goggles stuck on the hat. She is still dressed in cowboy style, but because of the environmental factors of this planet, she added a thick coat. Now she looks like It's a chubby ball.

After Su Ming spoke, he looked at the surrounding environment. In fact, there was nothing to say. It was a cave under an iceberg. It was surrounded by blue-green ice. The oxygen content in the air was a bit low. The temperature was around minus 30 degrees. From the entrance of the cave, It can be seen that there is heavy snow outside, and the inside of the cave is a little dark, which is only illuminated by a small lamp brought by the doctor himself.

As someone who had just returned from the happy world of ice and snow, he yawned, because this low temperature was still a bit inferior to the hoarfrost that could freeze the universe.

"I asked you to help find Master Mogu's lover before. Have you found him?"

This is talking about the Jedi Master Yin who was symbiotically symbiotic with an alien creature that he met last time. Because the symbiote was very similar to Mugu, he got this nickname. The master gave Su Ming the opportunity to master the Force and shared a lot of Jedi skills. In exchange, Su Ming promised to help him find someone.

"I have found it a long time ago, and you don't even know who I am?" Aphra rubbed the tip of her nose with her thumb and raised her chin in dismay: "I am an archaeological genius. I want to find a person who disappeared a thousand years ago. Then Isn’t it easy? I have reunited them, and the scene was quite touching. Do you want to see it? "

What she said does make sense. If you want to find a person who has been missing for two days, you should ask the police and detectives for help; but if you want to find a person who has been missing for a long time, don't you have to rely on archaeologists?

"That's good, I'm not used to owing others favors." Su Ming nodded, expressing satisfaction with Aphra's work progress, but then asked: "Why are you alone in the cave, where are your two murder cans? And that hairy bodyguard.”

The two murder jars refer to her navigation robot BT and the butler robot Three-Zero, while the hairy bodyguard refers to the Wookiee Kersantan, who exists as her bodyguard, driver and laborer.

"Forget it, you gave them the pain component last time, and now those two guys have awakened completely independent personalities, so the two robots are independent from me..." The doctor was a little speechless, she lowered her head The head re-checked the information he entered and said while revising: "You may not have noticed, but they seem to admire you a little, so they became space mercenaries."

Although Darth Vader was whitewashed into Anakin, Queen Padme was resurrected, and the empire was controlled from within, the universe itself is always accompanied by chaos and fighting, especially the threat of the Yuuzhan Vong, which is always present. There is always a need for mercenaries.

In the past, Aphra always hated having to replace parts and update weapons for two robots, which cost her too much money.

But now that the two have left the team, she feels a little lonely, because she is too accustomed to the sound of electronic voices ringing in her ears, just like you used to listen to songs when you slept, and one day you suddenly stopped listening. Won't be able to sleep.

"It seems a bit too independent? But that is also their choice." Su Ming raised an eyebrow, came to Aphra and squatted down: "You haven't said where Kirsantan is? Is it with me? Send it to your spaceship?"

Will a robot with an awakened personality run out and cause an omnic crisis?

In fact, there is no need to think too much about this. After all, the general environment of the world is here. If robots cannot master the Force, then they cannot surpass humans.

"Strictly speaking, Kelsantan is not my bodyguard, but my creditor." The female doctor spread her hands and replied very bachelorly: "He followed my ship before, just to ensure that I didn't If you die, you can repay his money. And the result is that I survived, you gave me the boat and the money, and then he took the debt and interest, patted his butt and walked away."

This space adventure business is actually similar to running ships in the Middle Ages. The coming and going of crew members is normal.

Kersantan is a good warrior and Wookiee mercenary, but compared to Chewbacca who works for Han Solo, his all-black coat shows that he is a darker person.

Do you want him and Aphra to share their hearts and souls? That's impossible, not to mention Aphra herself is heartless.

"Okay, so you are all alone now, squatting in a dark cave. What are you doing, making shaved ice?" Su Ming squatted down next to her and looked at her work curiously. It's less like an archaeologist and more like a hacker.

"I'm not alone. I bought a new engineering assistant robot named ZT-233, but it is now driving my spaceship to take the unfriendly natives of this planet to another hemisphere. circle."

The archaeologist stopped typing on the keyboard, stretched out her hand to point to her mouth, and then moved her fingers. This was asking Deathstroke for food. She knew that this man always carried a large amount of food and water with him:

"By the way, this is Hawthorne Star. The cave we are in is not what I want to find. The real treasure should be behind this thick layer of ice."

Rubbing her hands together for warmth and anticipation, she took the cake handed over by Deathstroke and took a bite. With her cheeks bulging, she decided to take a short break and let the newly ingested sugar in her body help her think of solutions to the problem.

Hearing Hawthorne's name, Su Ming understood where this place was. It was an ice and snow planet located in the middle of the Milky Way. It used to be the production site of lightsaber crystals, but even the Jedi were unwilling to come here because There are some very unfriendly animals on this planet, some of them are like rabid mammoths, and they are several sizes larger.

"Tell me, what kind of treasure is it? I'm on vacation right now. Maybe I can help you with some ideas." Su Ming became more interested, and the treasure hunt game wouldn't be a bad idea either.

After hearing this, Aphra suddenly pouted:

"I am an electronic archaeologist, and archaeologists often don't know what they are looking for. I have to go to the target location before I can tell you what it is. And even if you help this time, I won't give you any points. Money, I discovered the archaeological clues and was the first to find this place. The things inside are mine, they are all mine."

"I don't like your so-called treasures. What I want is the process of treasure hunting and fun. Do you understand?" Su Ming knocked her on the head and activated the light ring to transform into a retractable green crocodile toy. , his mouth kept opening and closing according to the movements of his fingers: "If you don't say anything anymore, I will pinch you."
