Most of the temporary barracks were already full. Griffin led Xia Fan and the others to a barracks near the edge of the camp. The barracks, which could accommodate 300 people, were half empty at the moment.
Griffin waved his hand and asked everyone to gather around him. He then said, "Everyone, listen carefully. There are many people participating in the King of Superpowers Tournament this time. After all, we are going to select the King of Superpowers from the eight major galaxies. Who doesn't want this glory? Even if we can't win the final championship, it's good to see what others are capable of.
"It's precisely because there are too many contestants, far more than we expected. Therefore, it will take some time to arrange the competition schedule and the venue. The King of Superpowers Tournament is a big event. Since we are going to hold it, we must do it beautifully. So, don't worry. Stay here and wait for our news.
"Right now, the living conditions are quite simple, but I think that everyone is here for Glory, not to enjoy life here. If you want to enjoy life, then just lie down at home and sleep, hugging the woman next to you. How comfortable would that be?"
The people around him laughed. Griffin's words were reasonable. After his introduction, everyone accepted the current arrangement. Griffin followed up on the topic and introduced the living and training methods in the camp, such as the arrangement of the canteen and the public training ground in the center of the camp. Then he let everyone find their own place to stay.
Xia Fan and Fo You walked into the barracks and immediately felt a hostile stare. The barracks, which could accommodate three hundred people, was originally occupied by more than a hundred people. These people seemed to be from the same group. They all had strange ear-shaped tattoos on their left arms.
Why would they have ears tattooed on their arms?
Xia Fan was stunned. He remembered that he had seen this tattoo in the Special Task Force's files on pirates. They were one of the most famous pirate groups in the outer regions, the Cut Ear Clan!
At this time, Fo You frowned slightly behind Xia Fan and said, "Damn, I can't believe I met these Cut Ear Clan guys. If it weren't for my current identity, I would really want to kill them!"
Even someone like Fu You, who didn't care about anything, knew about the Cut Ear Clan. It was enough to show how notorious this pirate group was. There was once a Special Task Force investigation ship that fell into the hands of the Cut Ear Clan. By the time the Alliance found out, all the investigators on the ship were dead, and without exception, their left ears were cut off by the pirates. This was the reason why the Special Task Force of the Nebula Alliance hated the Cut Ear Clan.
Unfortunately, the Cut Ear tribe was not an ordinary pirate group. They were the elites of the pirate group. Although there were not many of them, their combat prowess was off the charts. It was said that 50% of their members had superpowers. Their captain, Ma Gaolong, had even reached the Advanced Star Domain rank. In this part of the universe near the inner region, he could be ranked in the top three.
Fu You and Xia Fan found an empty bed and put down their backpacks.
At this moment, something unexpected happened. Griffin did not leave. He and a few warriors from the Godslayer Society escorted the strange woman who used to have a knife in her hair. The woman was wearing electromagnetic handcuffs, and her expression was unusually angry. Obviously, she had been tortured on the ship.
Griffin pushed the woman from behind, and with a sinister smile, he pushed the woman into the barracks.
"Don't underestimate this woman. She's an investigator from the Holy Alliance," Griffin said to the people in the barracks.
An investigator?
And a woman at that?
The people in the barracks immediately shouted, especially the pirates from the Cut Ear tribe. They did not have a good impression of investigators.
Griffin sneered. "However, this woman is useless now. We used a truth serum on her, but she's still alive. Anyway, we can't be bothered to lock her up, so we might as well just leave her here and let you do whatever you want with her."
After saying these sinister words, Griffin left with his men. As for the strange woman, she was surrounded by the pirates. She was so angry that her entire body was trembling, but she could not resist at all because her hands were still wearing electromagnetic shackles.
Electromagnetic handcuffs were specially used to deal with people with superpowers. Once put on, not only would the strong magnetic force control the prisoner's movements, but the built-in neural control unit would also suppress the prisoner's seventh brain region, making it impossible for the prisoner to use superpowers. All investigators of the Special Task Force carried at least one set of electromagnetic handcuffs with them to deal with unexpected situations.
But now, with the electromagnetic handcuffs on the hands of this investigator, she was like a chick thrown into a pack of wolves, helpless and desperate.
Xia Fan thought that Griffin was probably trying to humiliate her. There were nearly three hundred people in the barracks, and ninety-five percent of them were men. Half of them were notorious pirates. It was easy to imagine what would happen to this woman when she was thrown here.
Sure enough, it was just verbal teasing at first, but it did not take long for the pirates to get to the point where they wanted to touch her.
Xia Fan frowned. It was true that he had killed an investigator from the Sacred Alliance, but the woman's current predicament still enraged Xia Fan. Warriors could be killed. From the day they put on the badge of the Special Task Force, they had to be prepared to do so. However, an investigator being humiliated by a group of pirates was an entirely different matter.
Cough, cough ~
Suddenly, someone coughed twice. The Ear Cutter pirates stopped what they were doing, and the barracks became silent.
A dark-skinned old man walked out from the innermost part of the barracks. Although his face was old, his body was as sturdy as a bear's. His right eye was completely white, and it was obvious that he was blind.
He was Ma Gaolong!
His nickname was Crazy Horse King!
Thirty-three years ago, the murder of the Nebula Alliance investigators was committed by this guy!
Xia Fan immediately recognized Ma Gaolong. After all, he was the public enemy of all the investigators. Xia Fan had seen his wanted poster in the bureau. This wanted poster had been up for 33 years, and it had never been changed.
The appearance of Crazy Horse King made everyone in the barracks silent. Even the sound of breathing was muffled.
Step by step, Crazy Horse King came to the side of the strange woman and looked her up and down with one eye.
Suddenly, Crazy Horse King stretched out his iron pincer left hand, grabbed the woman by the neck, and lifted her up from the ground.
The woman's face was pale. She struggled with all her might, but she could not make a sound. Crazy Horse King did not feel anything when she kicked him.
"What I hate the most in my life are investigators like you! All investigators, no matter which alliance you belong to, should die! "
Crazy Horse King's voice was low. He stretched out his right hand, and someone immediately put a small machete in his hand.
Crazy Horse King's left hand grabbed the woman's neck, and his right hand slowly lowered the knife.
The woman was in despair. She stopped struggling and closed her eyes helplessly. She did not cry, but tears slowly fell from the corner of her eyes.
The pirates felt that it was a pity. They could have enjoyed such a beautiful woman, but their boss wanted to kill her. It was a waste.
Suddenly...
Just as Crazy Horse King was about to cut off the woman's ear, he saw a black shadow rushing towards him at an unimaginable speed!
Crazy Horse King could not care less about the woman. He threw her down with his left hand, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and pushed in the direction of the black shadow!
