As a result, while she was still dazed and confused, Joan and 32 had already run out. Only at the very end did she realize that the trench-coated man wearing a mask was actually Amir.
The instant Amir raised his hand, the roof began to shake. He had not noticed her, and while using the Force, the effects had spread to the rooftop!
Millisyn quickly scrambled up and was about to leave the unstable roof when someone behind her picked her up.
"Eh? Valera!" Millisyn thought someone from Dead Hand had grabbed her, but when she turned around, it was Joan's bionic assistant, Valera.
"Hehe, little Millisyn, this place is very dangerous, you know," Valera said with a smile. Then she jumped straight up, crossing five or six meters and landing on another rooftop. This place was much safer.
"Joan and 32 were both down there just now. They've already escaped. We should go help them," Millisyn said briefly.
She was not worried about Amir.
"Does Doctor Joan have the item?" Valera asked.
"Yes!"
"Follow me!" Valera straightened her body and twisted her head left and right a few times, as if confirming something, then ran in one direction.
Although Valera was very fast, Millisyn could still barely keep up.
"Do you know where she is?" Millisyn asked while running.
Speaking did not affect Valera's movements at all, so she began chatting. "The two of us both have positioning devices on each other. As long as I sense it a little, I can know her location."
"Are you and Amir's group all Jedi Knights? I heard people at the port say the Jedi Knights are extinct. And when they talked about Jedi Knights, they all seemed a bit unhappy. I thought maybe it was because of what happened years ago, when Imperial Inquisitors came here to capture Jedi."
For a moment, Millisyn did not know how to respond.
"Sorry, I'm talking a little too much. After all, in the laboratory, there's never anyone to talk to. Doctor Joan doesn't speak much. She's always studying machines and experimental specimens by herself. I'm not a work she's satisfied with, so she's still constantly researching. But I'm very happy to be her assistant."
Millisyn could not help but sympathize with Valera. If she had not had Mona to talk to, being alone in a laboratory would have been unbearable.
"I think you're really great. Whether it's how you look or how you speak, you don't seem like a droid at all. Joan must have kept you because she likes you," Millisyn comforted her.
"Thank you, Millisyn," Valera said, seeming very happy. "I hope this item can help Doctor achieve her goal."
At that, Millisyn became curious. When she had heard Amir and Kahahlman talking earlier, she had thought Joan's goal was simply to create a droid that looked very much like a human. But after seeing Valera, she was no longer sure. This big sister was clearly just like a real person, so what else was there to research?
So she asked, "What exactly is Doctor Joan's goal?"
"I'm not sure either. Doctor rarely talks to me about it. But based on her research, I guess she might want to create a mechanical lifeform with the ability to grow."
"Growth? A body made from machines can't grow up, right?" Millisyn asked in confusion.
"Haha, not physically, but mentally. Like a normal lifeform, able to think and grow independently with time and experience. Like growing from a child into an adult, then becoming a wise person. Aside from that, Doctor also seems to be researching something called the soul. I still can't understand that term for now."
"Oh." Millisyn looked thoughtful. Amir seemed to have said before that there was a bad person's soul sealed inside the Traveler. Tsk, tsk. Truly terrifying.
The two of them jumped and ran across the rooftops. Suddenly, they heard blaster fire coming from ahead.
"She's there!"
The two reached the area nearby and saw Joan turning back to fire. Behind her were two people holding red lightsabers.
"They're Imperial Inquisitors!" Millisyn shouted.
Valera had clearly recognized the two as well. She immediately drew the blaster pistols at her waist and began firing.
Her shot trajectories were extremely precise. It was clear Joan had put a lot of effort into combat when designing her. Whether it was Joan herself or Valera, both possessed very strong combat ability.
The Imperial Inquisitors' senses were also very sharp. When the Fifth Brother heard the sound, he directly twisted his arm, moved his lightsaber behind his back, and used the blade to block the blaster attacks. Then he turned and looked coldly at the two of them.
But suddenly, the Seventh Sister shouted from the side.
The Fifth Brother turned and saw that Joan had actually slipped into the nearest mouseway.
The Fifth Brother did not know what a mouseway was.
Seeing the thief slip into a dark alley, he immediately became anxious. If she really escaped, finding her again would be troublesome. This was Nar Shaddaa, not territory under Imperial control. There was no way to mobilize an army to surround and hunt her down.
Thinking of that, he no longer paid attention to the two troublesome children behind him and rushed straight into the mouseway.
"Joan went into the mouseway. What do we do?" Millisyn asked.
"Follow me. I know the mouseways well! When I help Doctor sell things, I always use the mouseways." Valera jumped down from the rooftop, and Millisyn followed closely behind.
On the other side, Amir ran out of the square and looked at the many streets. For a moment, he did not know which direction to go. At that moment, a teenager in his teens standing at a street corner spoke to Amir.
"Are you a Jedi? I saw you outside..."
Amir did not respond. He planned to use brainwaves to confirm 32's position.
Seeing that the helmeted man did not answer, the teenager raised his hand and pointed in one direction before continuing, "If you're looking for the people with the red lightsabers, they ran down this road."
Amir looked at him. This teenager should be one of Dead Hand's pickpockets. He did not know why the boy wanted to help him.
Amir nodded to him in thanks, then ran down that road.
But he had not gone far when he saw, at a corner not far away, the assassin droid that should have been guarding Nuruddin sneaking away. It was holding a case in its hand.
The first time Amir saw the case, he sensed fluctuations of the Force from it.
It felt similar to a Jedi or Sith holocron, but the Force attributes within were chaotic and hard to judge.
In that case, after the battle had started, aside from firing that shot to interrupt Lindsey's performance, this droid had not been seen again.
Amir suddenly felt that the case it was holding might be the relic they had spent so much effort searching for.
Joan and the Imperial Inquisitors probably had not yet realized that they were risking their lives for a fake. After leaving the hall, Amir finally had a chance to contact Joan.
Without hesitation, Amir followed after the droid while sending a communication request to Joan.
