Star Wars: Escape from the Jedi Temple Begins

Chapter 63 Sir, another guest has arrived at the base.

"have."

The technician's answer was concise and to the point.

"No...you can't do this, I..."

Cade Bain quickly tried to beg for mercy.

But what made him a legendary bounty hunter, besides his excellent equipment and extremely accurate marksmanship, was his cunning mind.

His face showed panic, and he tried to resist agitatedly, but secretly activated a hidden special communication device in an extremely discreet manner.

Inside the Defender, the robot Todo stared in surprise at the flashing signals on the control panel.

Once it lit up, it proved that its owner, Bain, had encountered unprecedented trouble.

According to a pre-set program, it must seek help from someone.

Although Bain considered it a great disgrace.

Without hesitation, Todo followed the procedure and quickly sent an encrypted communication. He then left the spaceship, activated the thrusters under his feet, and flew towards the canyon.

......

Within the base.

Lance put away the communicator and nodded to the hunter.

The hunter understood immediately, switched his blaster to stun mode, and pulled the trigger at Bane.

A blue ring of ions burst forth from the muzzle of the gun.

Bain felt a strong electric shock, his eyes rolled back, and he immediately lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

"Hunter, come with me to the escort ship below, let's freeze this guy first."

Lance then looked at Ahsoka: "Go to the command room and wait for us."

"it is good."

Seeing how swiftly and efficiently he handled the situation, Asoka returned to the command room with peace of mind.

The hunter also hoisted Bain, who was like a dead dog, and followed Lance to the lower level.

Nearly ten minutes later.

The hunter looked excitedly at the hundreds-of-meters-long Generous-class interstellar frigate: "I never thought that after fighting our mortal enemy, the separatists, for several years, we would end up piloting their ships and commanding their robot army."

As he spoke, he blurted out, "Looking at it this way... it seems like we've become the villains..."

Lance covered his forehead, feeling powerless to refute.

Upon closer reflection, what the hunter said seemed to make a tiny bit of sense.

"Hunter, you're overthinking it... Whether it's ships or robot armies, these are just tools. Our goal has never changed: survival and fighting for justice. As long as our original intention remains unchanged, it doesn't matter if we use separatist ships and equipment, or Imperial or Huttian ships."

"Understood, sir!" The hunter looked at Lance with utmost respect.

"Don't take it so seriously."

Lance waved his hand, boarded the escort ship, and went to the place where the prisoners were held.

Inside a room, there is a circular pit in the center, with dozens of pipes hanging from the device above.

Start-up device.

The room was instantly illuminated by a dark red light.

"..."

"This atmosphere... it's starting to feel more and more like a villain's world..."

Lance withdrew his gaze and suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind.

Carbon freezing uses a liquid metal alloy raw material that solidifies into a bronze-colored solid block after rapid cooling.

The original purpose of this technology was in the mining industry, specifically for the storage and transportation of high-pressure Tibanavass, sealing the explosive gas into solid carbon blocks for convenient interstellar freight, not for freezing living people.

When the carbon freezing chamber is in operation, molten liquid carbon is injected into the chamber, instantly and rapidly freezing the target.

Once carbon encapsulates and solidifies, the target is forced into a state of dormancy, with metabolism almost ceasing, preventing aging and decay.

The sealed metal block can isolate life detectors, and can be used to transport prisoners over long distances or to conceal stowaways.

He had heard Ahsoka mention that Anakin had used this tactic during the war, infiltrating the fortress by sealing himself in carbonized condensate.

However, this method was extremely dangerous, and Anakin was both highly skilled and daring.

After being sealed and thawed for a long time, it may cause symptoms such as temporary blindness, severe pain all over the body, confusion, and weakness.

The longer the freezing time, the more severe the aftereffects; improper handling can even lead to death.

Lance did not intend to use this method to imprison Bain.

But this guy was too cunning; he couldn't be contained in a regular prison cell.

After much thought, this is the safest way.

After a cold, white mist filled the air, a metal plate nearly two meters high and over twenty centimeters thick was lifted out of the circular pit.

Bane's pained expression could be vaguely seen on the board; it was probably the sudden chill that forcibly woke him from his coma.

"Sir, what's the next step?"

"Put it in the storage room."

From then on, legendary bounty hunter Cade Bain became the first prisoner on this frigate.

The two then took the elevator back to the command center.

"Where is Ahsoka?"

Lance glanced around but didn't see Asoka, so he asked.

"She went to take care of a small matter," the technician said, adjusting his glasses.

"We discovered a robot that had sneaked in."

Echo pointed to the surveillance footage: "It should be Bain's assistant."

"Oh?"

Lance walked up to the screen and saw a small, uniquely designed robot sneaking around the base, seemingly looking for something.

"It seems that Bane's spaceship is nearby."

He frowned slightly, a bad feeling creeping into his mind. He turned to the technician and asked, "How much longer?"

"Give me another twenty minutes and I can get it done."

The technician didn't even look up, his eyes fixed on the data instrument in his hand, his fingers almost blurring into a blur.

Lance nodded and said nothing more, his gaze returning to the monitor screen.

Ahsoka held a lightsaber and drew a graceful arc.

Todo thought his infiltration was a success, that no one had discovered him, and he was now cautiously searching for his master, Bane.

It found a pool of blood in a passageway, which it guessed belonged to its owner.

"Master must have been seriously injured... Judging from the battle marks... Master was almost powerless to resist. Who was the opponent?"

Todo grew increasingly anxious as he analyzed the situation, completely unaware that a figure had quietly appeared behind him.

Old Man —

As it turned around upon hearing the noise, a blinding green blade of light came hurtling towards it.

"No......"

......

Todo finally learned who the enemy was: the Jedi.

And there's more than one.

At this moment, it understood why its owner had sent out an emergency distress signal, but an even bigger question arose.

Bane has faced off against Jedi Masters such as Anakin, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Windu, and Quinlan Worth on multiple occasions and escaped unscathed. He has even killed several Jedi, including Jedi Masters.

Logically speaking, even if they were no match for the opponent, they should have been able to escape.

But the reality is that Bain's fate is unknown, and it was captured itself.

"Could it be... that these two are even more powerful than those top Jedi Masters?"

A terrifying and absurd possibility emerged, causing Todo's mind to go blank.

"Tell me, where is your spaceship hidden?" Lance used the Force to lift the robot up.

"Answer me first: where is my master, Cade Bane? What have you done to him?"

"Technician, come and take care of this robot first."

Lance didn't give it a chance to bargain and directly invaded the memory storage.

Todo tried to resist, but a large hand pressed the power button.

The technician wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling his fingers ache and realizing he was overwhelmed.

"I need to find some help," he muttered to himself.

"Sir, we have guests at the base again." Echo pointed to the monitor screen.

Lance turned around and saw a figure wearing a helmet.

"Is it her?"
