299: See the Pirate King Again

Han Huohuo thought for a moment and then asked, "Are there any other strange places on the ship?"

The Artificial Intelligence Retard displayed a map on the screen, which was a ship structure diagram, showing two obvious anomalies: one in the confinement room and one in the energy room.

"Huh, what's going on with the confinement room?"

A few days ago, someone broke onto this ship. He was chased everywhere by Ghosts and finally hid in the confinement room, and now he can't get out.

A few days ago, that would be someone from this world. Who would be so bold as to run onto a terrifying island full of Ghosts?

Han Huohuo was very curious about which Hero it was.

Then he pointed to the energy room: "What's going on there?"

The Artificial Intelligence Retard explained: "The energy supply there is unstable, but the system can't detect any anomalies, so I know there's definitely a problem, but I can't find out where it is."

"Can the energy room be opened? I want to go in and take a look!"

This time, the Artificial Intelligence Retard hesitated for a long time, because entering the energy room required the highest authority, and once the highest authority was given out, it could not be taken back.

Han Huohuo threatened: "You might not understand me. I am an extremely cruel person. If my wishes are not fulfilled, I will tear all the mainframes of this island into pieces and put them into a crusher to be ground into powder. If you obey me, I will let you live. Do you want to die or live? Decide now."

The Artificial Intelligence Retard was so scared that its mainframe trembled and quickly gave the highest authority to Han Huohuo, thinking, this fierce person looks so much like the legendary bandits.

"Respected Master, this island is now completely under your control. You can control all functions simply by voice."

Han Huohuo was very satisfied and was about to go to the energy room to take a look, but suddenly he stopped: "Oh, I have another question. What's going on with this dark sky curtain? Did you release it?"

The Artificial Intelligence Retard was a bit confused: "I don't know, what dark sky curtain? When I landed on this planet, it was always dark, and I've never seen sunlight. I thought this planet was just like this!"

Han Huohuo was speechless. Your family is like that.

It seems this Artificial Intelligence Retard is completely unaware of this dark sky curtain.

Such a terrifying sky curtain must consume a lot of energy. His heart stirred, and he asked, "What kind of energy does our ship use?"

Since the highest authority was handed over, the Artificial Intelligence Retard had completely lost its ability to resist and answered every question: "Of course, it's radioactive elements. Only radioactive elements can be used almost eternally."

Han Huohuo's heart was moved.

Such a large ship must carry a considerable amount of radioactive elements. If I take a little, it shouldn't affect its operation.

With a burning heart, he walked in with Gundam and Angel.

The energy room was at the very end. Halfway down the corridor, Han Huohuo suddenly stopped, noticing a room next to him labeled "Confinement Room."

Inside the confinement room, there were some strange space-time fluctuations, which were very peculiar. His curiosity was piqued again, and he wondered which Hero was trapped.

"Open the door!"

"Yes!"

The door creaked open automatically.

Inside was a buffer room, with another door ahead. This monitoring room was very secure, as if to prevent anyone from escaping.

As soon as he entered the buffer room, the door behind him closed, and then the front door slowly opened.

This is called an interlock door; the front and back doors can never be opened simultaneously. It's standard for spaceships, originally to prevent air loss, but it seems like a good idea for holding people too.

The monitoring room was very small and had a foul smell.

Then Han Huohuo walked in and saw a disheveled, unkempt man with a scraggly beard.

The man was so thin he looked like dried meat, appearing very pitiful, but Han Huohuo inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity, as if he knew him.

The man was sleeping, and there was a pile of feces and urine nearby, no wonder it smelled so bad. Han Huohuo covered his nose, walked over, and kicked the guy awake.

As soon as their eyes opened, both of them were stunned.

Han Huohuo realized he really knew this guy—wasn't this the Pirate King?

"It's you?"

"Huh? How did you get in again?"

Looking at the Pirate King's condition, Han Huohuo didn't think he had only been confined for a few days. After all, he was a Third-Tier Hero and should have spatial equipment, carrying some water and food. How could he become like this so easily?

"No, what happened to you? Every time I see you, you're in such a mess? How long have you been confined here?"

The Pirate King, named Sacpu, sighed and said bitterly, "I went to chase those damned Pirate Generals, but I lost them. I accidentally encountered a monster island that moved on the sea. I thought I was invincible, so I came up to take a look, but I was chased here by a group of Ghosts and inexplicably captured. I've been confined for several years!"

Han Huohuo felt something was wrong. He asked into the air, "Didn't you say he was only confined a few days ago? Why does he think he's been confined for several years?"

The Artificial Intelligence Retard quickly replied, "Boss, to punish evil people, the time flow in this confinement room has been adjusted. One day outside is one year here."

Han Huohuo thought to himself, what kind of people on what planet came up with this punishment? If someone is sentenced to one year of confinement, wouldn't they be imprisoned for 365 years?

Too cruel!

This planet probably isn't a good place either.

Han Huohuo looked at the Pirate King, who was close to death, feeling a bit sorry for him. This guy had never done anything right and had been unlucky his whole life.

"Don't work alone anymore. Just join me. I'll get you a place to retire, and you can help me guard the city."

"That sounds pretty good, but how do we get out? This ghostly place is very sturdy, and I don't know how to get out."

"Open the door!"

The confinement room was the sturdiest place on this spaceship, even sturdier than the energy room, and it had a powerful space-time magnetic field, preventing even Ghosts from entering.

At Han Huohuo's command, the Artificial Intelligence Retard quickly opened the main door.

Tears welled up in the Pirate King's eyes.

This young man had saved him twice now; it was fate.

After leaving the confinement room, Han Huohuo took out a hero token. This Pirate King was also an epic Hero, so he had to use a hero token to recruit him.

However, his skills were all good.
