The Punisher Alliance did not have the financial resources to build a space fortress, and their headquarters was a large modified spaceship called the Punisher. Fu Ding and the rest did not take long to reach their destination.
After entering the spaceship, the two of them followed Raymond around. The Punisher's cabin was a circular hall, and it was separated into different functional areas that were connected by corridors.
"This is our base … This is the living area, and every member has their own room. I have already arranged for all of you to have all sorts of amenities, and you can rest at any time. That side is the combat training area, and the other side is the equipment storage area …"
The companions they met on the way nodded to each other. The few of them walked and stopped. Soon, they arrived at an area. Fuding turned to look at the nameplate of a room. On it was written "Spoils of War Museum".
"That is …" Fu Ding pointed at the room and felt that there should be some clues in there.
"Oh! That is the proof of our Punisher Alliance's glory. " Raymond laughed. "These are the spoils of war that we obtained from fighting criminals. Come, let me show you around and introduce our glorious deeds to you."
The group walked into the room. It was quite spacious and filled with transparent cabinets. Some of them were empty, while the others were filled with different things. There were heavily damaged weapons, half-broken masks, and a charred electronic eyeball. At first glance, one would think that it was a post-modernist exhibition hall of waste art.
Raymond led the way in front and acted as a tour guide, explaining the origins of the various items.
"This is the heavy chainaxe of the wanted criminal with a bounty of 300,000 Enas, Ruthless. One of our comrades died in that battle …"
"Do you see this electronic eyeball? That is the artificial eye of Poison Heart. He was beaten to a pulp, and he only left behind this high-tech artificial eye …"
"Also, that is the warhammer of Bishop Blood Hammer. It is still in good condition, and the others just put it there …"
Hearing Raymond's explanation, Fu Ding looked at the spoils of war carefully and compared them to the pictures that Han Xiao had given him.
Suddenly, Fu Ding's footsteps stopped, and his eyes locked onto a transparent cabinet.
There was a simple white box in the cabinet. It was about the size of two palms. There were some burnt stains on the surface of the box. It looked ordinary and unremarkable.
"What is this?" Fu Ding's eyes flashed with joy as he pointed at the box.
This was what Han Xiao had asked him to find.
What? So it was so easy to find? It was placed in the warehouse. I thought it would be more difficult.
"Let me think …" Raymond recalled for a moment before pounding his palm. "I remember now. This is the spoils of war from a surface civilization. There was a fellow who relied on a high-tech weapon smuggled from the galaxy to conquer a surface civilization and become the ruler. We received the news and went to deal with him. From his warehouse, we found many spoils of war, and this box is one of them."
"What's its use?"
Fu Ding was curious. This time, he was not acting. He was also very interested in the item that Black Star wanted.
"We don't know how it works or where it comes from. We only know that if you carry it with you, your mental barrier and psychic power will be strengthened to a certain extent. However, if you use it for a long time, you will have auditory hallucinations. You will feel that someone is talking beside your ear, and your mind will gradually become distorted. Therefore, we call it [Box of Bewitchment].
As he spoke, Raymond's face suddenly turned suspicious. "That's right. We sealed it up. Who placed this thing in here?"
Right at this moment, Fu Ding, who had been looking at the box, suddenly frowned. He could hear a soft whisper in his ears, as though a voice was tempting him to touch the box.
He used his psychic energy to scan the box, and a layer of psychic energy enveloped it. It was like an invisible coating that had a certain degree of spiritual defense.
Fu Ding wanted to see what was inside and used his psychic energy to form a drill to break through the psychic energy field. However, the moment his psychic energy came into contact with the box, he felt a strong suction force. His expression changed, and he hurriedly cut off his psychic energy. The psychic energy that he cut off was instantly devoured by the box, and he could no longer sense it.
Seeing this, Raymond waved his hand and helplessly said, "Don't try anymore. It's useless. Our psychic has already tested it, and psychic energy is unable to probe the box."
"Can the box be opened normally?"
"Yes, but there is nothing inside." Raymond opened the cabinet and directly opened the box. It was empty.
Right at this moment, Aurora poked Fu Ding's back and made a hand gesture.
Fu Ding immediately understood that there was a life signal inside the box.
Black Star would not speak without thinking. The thing that he wants is indeed strange.
Fu Ding thought to himself.
Raymond placed the box back into the cabinet and gestured for Fu Ding and Nora to continue looking around. The two of them did not have any objections.
…
After looking around the base and getting to know a few new members of the Punisher Alliance, Fu Ding and Aurora bade farewell to Raymond and returned to their respective rooms to rest.
After a few hours, the two of them walked out of their rooms and headed to the spoils of war exhibition room.
The spoils of war in the exhibition room were mostly commemorative items, and the security system was rather low level. Aurora took out a military-grade automated hacking device and was about to insert it into the door when she was stopped by Fu Ding.
"Are you going to walk in just like that? You will trigger the alarm. "Aurora was doubtful.
"I know."
Fu Ding slowly said, "Black Star wants their things, and they are unable to retaliate. I don't like to bully the weak. Furthermore, they are not a bunch of evil people. Even if I want to take their things away, I will at least let them know the reason. I am not willing to leave without saying goodbye."
"That's not good. What if Black Star has other intentions?" Aurora hesitated.
In truth, she also felt that it was a little shameful for the two of them to steal from such a small organization.
"He did not make any special requests, and even if he did … he will only blame me."
Fuding chuckled and walked in openly, grabbing the Box of Bewitchment in his hand.
Beep beep beep!
He ignored the sudden ear-piercing alarm and brought Aurora along as he swaggered towards the entrance of the spaceship base.
They arrived at the entrance of the spaceship without any obstructions. Only then did they see Raymond, Slade, and a bunch of members of the Punisher Alliance guarding the entrance. They looked at the two of them with complicated expressions.
"Why did you want to steal the Box of Enticement?" Raymond had a pained expression and was unwilling to believe the scene before him.
Slade gritted his teeth and said coldly, "I almost trusted you guys! You guys really have ulterior motives! "
"Perhaps their minds were only twisted by the Box of Bewitchment …" Raymond did not have any confidence and could only look at Feidin with a complicated gaze. There was still a faint sense of anticipation in his eyes.
"Apologies." Fudin shook his head and faced the angry gazes of the crowd. He calmly said, "I'm here for this thing."
"Then, saving me was premeditated?" Raymond could not help but ask.
"Would you believe me if I said that it was luck?" Fu Ding said helplessly.
At this moment, Slade stepped out from the crowd and pointed his weapon at the two of them. "I have said that as long as I find out that you guys have ulterior motives, I will not be courteous to you. Since you have admitted it yourselves, you can either put down the Box of Enticement immediately and give up on resisting or test the might of my weapon!"
Looking calmly at the excited crowd, Feidin slowly said, "That's right.
"During the battle in Enya Hub, Euler and I saved you guys more than once. Are you guys really going to make a move against us?"
Hearing that, everyone's anger instantly dissipated.
That's right, if not for the healing ability, they would have suffered heavy losses in Enya Hub. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they had saved all of their lives. Although the two of them had ulterior motives, they were still indebted to them.
Most of them looked troubled and lost their fighting spirit in an instant. It was hard for them to muster up any hostility.
Slade was also the same. He immediately got rid of this mentality and hardened his heart. Clenching the weapon in his hand, he said in a deep voice, "That's a different matter. If you steal the Box of Bewitchment now, you will become our enemy. We will not let you leave!"
Fu Ding swept a glance at everyone and suddenly smiled. He rolled up his sleeves and sat down on the ground.
"Alright, then I will not leave."
Everyone was stunned.
What is the meaning of this? Is he trying to act shamelessly?
"What are you doing?" Raymond asked in astonishment.
"Wait for someone to provide support." After throwing out this sentence, Fudin closed his eyes and closed them to rest.
"You really have a personality." By the side, Aurora had a helpless expression. She glanced at the stunned crowd and weakly said, "Why are you still holding your weapons? Do you really want to attack me?"
Slade's expression was uncertain. After pondering for a moment, he did not make a move directly. Instead, he put away his weapon and gestured for everyone to get ready. He then stared at Fu Ding from the side and observed his every move.
Just as everyone was getting ready, the cabin door suddenly slid open, and a black figure stood at the bottom of the stairs with a bunch of subordinates.
The members of the Punisher Alliance hurriedly turned around to take a look, and they were all stunned.
It was actually the Black Star Corps that they had met before, and the person leading them was actually Black Star himself!
"You, you, you …" Raymond's eyes widened in shock.
Han Xiao glanced at him and led the Black Star Guards into the cabin, heading straight for Fu Ding.
The members of the Punisher Alliance hurriedly made a path for them, and their faces were filled with shock. Why is it Black Star? What is going on?
Looking down at Fu Ding, who was sitting on the ground, Han Xiao felt a little helpless. "Why do you have to trouble me personally for such a small matter? Stop playing around."
Fudin smiled, patted his butt, stood up, and whispered, "You know my personality."
"That's right, I already knew when I was in Sunil." Han Xiao rubbed his brows helplessly and joked, "If you continue to mess around like this, I won't dare to put you in an important position in the future."
"There are priorities, and I don't want to lower my bottom line for such a small matter. Furthermore, you shouldn't have asked me to steal." Fu Ding blinked.
"You really make me worry. It's so hard to slack off." Han Xiao facepalmed.
A main character like him had his own principles, and he could not be ordered around without any restrictions. It was as though he would not be able to show how extraordinary he was if he did not cause any accidents.
Hearing the conversation between the two of them, everyone's gazes shifted between Black Star and Fu Ding, and their faces were filled with shock.
"Who are you?" Slade panicked and could not help but ask. However, his tone was no longer as unyielding as before.
Hardaway looked over and said, "He is Fu Ding, the vice-captain of Black Star's Black Star Guards."
Hearing that, Slade's body froze.
He could not believe that the person he had been interacting with all this time was actually such a person!
For such a big shot, killing him was as easy as crushing an ant. It was laughable that he had thought that Fu Ding was afraid of them outnumbering him. He did not expect that it was because he could not be bothered to deal with them. He probably looked at them like they were children.
Slade's face turned green and white. Thinking about how unyielding he was toward Fu Ding, he was shocked and embarrassed.
At this time, Han Xiao spoke.
"Alright, since you want them to know the reason …"
Han Xiao turned around and looked at everyone. He directly sucked the Box of Enchantment into his hand and crushed the hard box into pieces with his five fingers.
"Ah!"
Everyone present could sense that at the instant the box shattered, a surge of powerful spirit force undulations erupted forth.
Most of the members of the Punisher Alliance paled and covered their different hearing organs. The ear-piercing screams in their minds caused them mental damage.
This mental scream in their minds was filled with excitement, as though someone who had been imprisoned for many years had finally seen the light of day again!
