Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

He saw the flagship of the space pirates hovering above the city, and the city set on fire by artillery bombardment, and he could reach anywhere he wanted to go in an instant through this door.

"This is your planet. Naturally, there won't be any cage that can hold you."

The puppet stared at Duan Mingyuan. Although the latter spoke in a calm tone and expressed respect to him modestly, he simultaneously opened up a path to the outside world in front of it... just like opening the door to his own living room!

At this moment, it was extremely sure that the person in front of it was definitely not of its kind.

But it was some kind of monster that it had never heard of and had never been recorded in history!

"Please rest assured, I will make good use of this power."

Duan Mingyuan expressed his final thanks to the puppet, then turned around and walked through the door leading to the flagship cabin.

A hole was smashed in the cabin, the alarm sounded, and gunshots rang out in the cabin.

It seemed that an uninvited guest had broken into the ship.

"What happened?"

Duan Mingyuan stopped a crew member of the flagship and asked.

"The enemy has made a hole in the ship. This time the idea is very tricky..."

Suddenly, the crew member froze. He looked at Duan Mingyuan and the person behind him, "Where did you come from?"

Take a short break today and adjust your thinking. The short drama will be updated tomorrow!

Chapter 265 Space Pirates

Duan Mingyuan learned from the space pirate crew what happened when he participated in the decryption game.

Someone revealed the news of the death of the Queen of Mechanical Star to the Oasis Alliance, and conveyed to them that the great secret treasure had been discovered first and was now hidden somewhere in the Mechanical Royal Court. Therefore, the pirate leader showed enough professionalism and immediately gathered all the manpower on Mechanical Star and headed straight for the Mechanical Royal Court.

After losing the control of the Queen, the "Mirage" was easily torn open by the pirates' flagship.

And what is going to happen next is the same as on countless planets they have visited.

When it comes to plundering, first come first served, whatever they grab becomes their spoils.

In addition to the great secret treasures, there are also countless creations left behind by great craftsmen on the Mechanical Star. Each one is priceless and can be auctioned for a high seven-digit price on the Chamber of Commerce's black market.

Even the adventurers joined them, and the atmosphere on the flagship was very excited. However, when they were about to drop the second tactical nuclear bomb on the Gear Hotel, something strange happened.

The control system crashed for unknown reasons, and an unexplained explosion occurred in the armory.

Then someone took advantage of the chaos to board the flagship.

The surveillance footage showed a cyborg wearing a retro cowboy hat, like an actor who had just run out of a film set.

The weapon was a revolver, which looked like an antique, but had amazing firepower. The support troops, including the battle team leader, were almost wiped out in just one encounter.

There were only a few people on board the flagship with the cyborg. It was hard for them to imagine that with such a small number of people that could not even form a small team, they dared to go against one of the strongest pirate groups in the universe.

"The strongest pirate group?"

Duan Mingyuan became interested. A space pirate who could own such a flagship would definitely not be a small-time character.

"This is the Fortress."

The pirate crew had no idea where the man in front of them came from. They had never even heard of the famous "Fortress".

Their captain used a large amount of looted materials to purchase weapons and equipment, and built a military fortress that was no less powerful than the company's war cruiser. The firepower on the flagship was enough to raze a country to the ground in an instant.

"Our captain is the famous 'Tyrant' Arctus!"

The crew member emphasized his tone, trying to describe the captain's power through his tone, in order to intimidate the countryman who had never seen the world. He reported the captain's glorious deeds, "Our captain is a ruthless character who bombarded his own home planet. If you know what's good for you, let me go quickly. I can pretend that I have never seen you!"

"Bombarded its own home planet. Why?"

Duan Mingyuan asked immediately.

The pirate's eyes went dark, and he felt that there was definitely something wrong with this man's brain circuit.

He mentioned the captain's reputation, not to make Duan Mingyuan ask a million questions. Since the moment they met, the other party had never stopped asking questions, from their plans to the big and small things on the "Fortress", and now the topic was brought to the captain.

"Because the company secretly joined forces with the rebels on the captain's planet to launch an armed coup. You must have heard of the Universal Company, right? The captain was not even afraid of the company and fought a fierce battle with them. Although he was forced to leave the home planet, he also launched an artillery attack before leaving, blowing the entire city to pieces, leaving nothing for the company!"

The crew knew everything.

In his opinion, winning or losing is not important. Anyone who dares to go against the Universal Company can be regarded as a famous figure in the universe.

"I see."

"If you know, get off the boat before the captain finds you."

"No."

Duan Mingyuan refused decisively. He walked to the hole on the deck and started repairing it.

He was very satisfied with the flagship. The damage was not big and it could be restored to its original state with simple rescue work.

"You should know the consequences of offending the 'tyrant', right?"

Although his body couldn't move, the pirate still struggled to speak.

"Yeah. I know."

Duan Mingyuan nodded, "Don't just stare, come over and give me a hand."

This person is absolutely crazy!

The pirates had no idea what Duan Mingyuan was here for. Unlike the cyborg, he did not start killing people as soon as he stepped onto the deck. Instead, he helped them repair the flagship.

He didn't want Duan Mingyuan, nor did he want to have anything to do with the madman, but his body moved uncontrollably.

The mechanized arms changed, and the palms transformed into maintenance tools at a speed visible to the naked eye. The feet were transformed into grappling hooks that allowed his body to be hung from the ceiling, allowing for maintenance from all angles.

The pirates shouted loudly, but their voices were soon drowned out by the sound of gunfire from farther away.

His identity is not important at all on this ship, and no one will come to rescue him.

At this moment, the crew member felt that only his head belonged to him, while his torso and limbs had become machines controlled by someone. The man who had turned him into this state was carefully repairing the damaged area of ​​the flagship, as if he was treating it as his own property.

"W-What on earth did you do to my body?"

The pirate screamed. He had followed this flagship to countless planets but had never seen such a strange thing.

Horrified and humiliated.

Such words are usually uttered by those who are being plundered, but now the positions of both parties have been reversed.

"The Curse of Flesh and Blood is a contagious disease unique to the Planet of Mechanical Art. The symptom is that the body will gradually transform into a machine."

Duan Mingyuan shared the medical knowledge he had learned with the pirates without looking back.

People on this planet are terrified of the Flesh and Blood Curse, but Duan Mingyuan believes that this disease can bring many conveniences if used properly.

For example, now he has an all-purpose maintenance tool man by his side.

However, his answer did not seem to calm the pirates' hearts. Instead, their screams became more and more shrill. Of course, he had heard of the curse of flesh and blood, and knew that it was an incurable terminal illness. If the "cocooning" had not suddenly stopped for unknown reasons, they would have been ready to leave the Mechanical Planet.

Even the captain didn't want to stay on a planet full of plague for too long.

"Let me go! What do you want to do?"

"Fix it for me and I'll let you go."

Duan Mingyuan was a reasonable man, but this crew member didn't seem very smart. In order to prevent him from continuing to yell, he explained, "As for what I want to do, isn't it obvious? Your flagship is very good, a good ship, you can't just waste it like this."

The crewman opened his mouth, but before he could make another sound, an arc of light passed through his waist, freeing him from his fear forever.

The body that was split into two fell straight to the ground with a dull sound.

"You are what they call an intruder, right?"

After cutting the crew in half, the figure appeared behind Duan Mingyuan.

His entire body was covered in metal, his arms had been modified, and there were two holes in the center of his palms, sprayed with dark blue lasers.

The pair of artificial eyes were fixed on Duan Mingyuan.

The visitor did not intend to give Duan Mingyuan any time to explain. Without waiting for the latter to speak, he once again turned into a stream of light and rushed straight towards Duan Mingyuan.

"Then let's start with you."

Chapter 266 Juggernaut

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Coyote Twelve looked up at Arctus who was sitting on the throne. This was not the first time they met. He had seen this notorious space pirate more than once at the "annual meeting" of the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce.

This is the biggest difference between a chamber of commerce and a company.

The company will at least maintain its image of justice on the surface and never deal with forces like space pirates. In comparison, the Chamber of Commerce is much freer. As long as you can bring practical benefits to the Chamber of Commerce, the Semites will welcome you with open arms, even if your notoriety has already spread throughout the universe.

Coyote Twelve never had any positive impression of the tyrant.

Although it has long been the norm for Universal Company to interfere in the internal affairs of other planets under the banner of "justice", Arctus is a rare tyrant who is cruel enough to cause the people of the planet to rise up in rebellion.

One of Arctus's biggest hobbies in life is to create cruel punishments. Almost all the cruel methods you can imagine have been compiled into his books. After becoming a space pirate, he became even more cruel. When Coyote Twelve was still working in the company, he had been to a space that had been looted by Arctus. The tragic scenes inside were even more shocking than those on the "cocooned" planets.

After all, the creatures on the "cocoon" planet he had come into contact with would only kill you, and they were not interested in torturing their captives.

Of course, Coyote Twelve knew that Arctus would not have a good impression of this "former company man".

The tyrant believed that Universal had taken away everything that belonged to him, so he spent the rest of his life doing everything he could to oppose the company.

"Hey, isn't this our famous Cowboy Bebop? I didn't expect to see you again so soon."

The tyrant's face was filled with a mocking smile, and his words were as sarcastic as ever.

The smell of blood in the corridor spread all the way into the throne, and the corridor outside the throne was filled with mutilated corpses.

"You are still the same as always, hiding in this iron coffin and dreaming of being a king."

Coyote Twelve held the nearly burnt cigar between his lips as he turned his revolver and loaded it with bullets.

Perhaps they were the same in this respect - after their first meeting, they knew that sooner or later they would face off against each other.

For such scum, Coyote Twelve does not intend to follow the traditions on the Hot Sand Planet.

Tradition is reserved for men who can stand tall and proud, not for beasts in human skin.

What's more, this duel has nothing to do with the two of them.

"Admit it, you're jealous of me."

Actus did not get angry, but grinned, revealing his row of modified fangs.

Coyote Twelve heard that this tyrant had been shot in the head by the Long Branch Guards who were chasing him when he was fleeing from his home planet. The company thought he was dead, but unexpectedly he survived. The price was that the upper half of Arctus' face was sewn on, and there were metal parts under the skin and flesh. The degree of modification of his body was much more exaggerated than that of a cyborg like him.

This made Coyote Twelve feel a little regretful. If he had been the one chasing this scum at that time, he would not have given the other party a chance to "change face".

Actus continued to nag at Coyote Twelve's pain points, "Ever since the Rangers were defeated, you have been alone. Even though you have been abandoned by the Chamber of Commerce, you can't find a decent helper around you."

"You mean them?"

Coyote Twelve raised an eyebrow and turned sideways so that Arctus could see the bodies piled in the corridor more clearly. "I wouldn't call such a person a helper."

"I'm talking about the rats that came aboard this ship with you."

Arctus said, "You didn't really think that your little tricks could escape my eyes? You hold me here, and they sneak into the control room, trigger an explosion on my ship, and then let you and I die in the explosion... Come on, this kind of space opera that only Cowboy Bebop would like is already outdated."

“What’s wrong with space opera?”

A stream of fire spurted out from the muzzle of the revolver.

The heavy mechanical arm blocked the bullet shot at Arctus, and a hole was blasted in the armor. Arctus shook his arm and threw the dried ammunition to the ground.

He stood up from the throne, and the entire throne became a set of exoskeleton armor, which he wore.

"Let me tell you what happens in a realistic work - those self-righteous little mice will be caught by the ace killer I hired. Don't worry, I specifically asked that guy to leave them with a breath. If your life is strong enough, maybe you can see them again before you close your eyes."

The armor that was as big as a mountain leaped up and slammed heavily to the ground. "It's a rare opportunity to have fun. I have prepared many interesting tortures for them."

"Ace killer? You're not talking about those cheap mercenaries, are you?"

Coyote Twelve dodged sideways behind the cover, and the scarlet laser left a deep scratch where he had been.

"You know that person too."
