When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village

Outside the laboratory, Guido quietly left after witnessing this scene.

He had thought these spies would be tough, but were they just this weak?

When he returned to the rest room, he found Julia already there, expressionlessly staring at a photograph of Bai Fu hanging on the wall.

He curled his lip and did not speak to Julia.

Julia was extremely unpopular among Truth Society members, partly because of her own haughty demeanor, always wearing a sour face as if she looked down on everyone, which made many people hostile towards her. On the other hand, her identity was special; she was not sincerely a part of Truth Society but had to work for it after being caught by the Chairman. Therefore, it was rare for someone in Truth Society to try to form a good relationship with her.

However, it must be acknowledged that Julia's real power was truly formidable.

Her superpowers were rated Taboo-Level within Truth Society, with currently known abilities including enslaving others, creating fake bodies, large-scale bombardment, levitating, and generating superpower fields—abilities that could set others apart if they possessed even one.

This was also why Guido felt that with Julia's participation, they could take down Bai Fu.

"I heard Bai Fu has arrived?"

Julia's voice suddenly filled the room.

Guido paused before responding, "That's right."

"Great, I was just planning to find her, but she's delivered herself to our doorstep."

Julia licked her lips, her ice-blue eyebrows also spreading out with excitement.

She didn't want to be this frantic, but she didn't have much time left. Once Truth Society figured out the full extent of her abilities, she would no longer have any value to them. She had to escape her cage as quickly as possible.

She hoped Bai Fu would satisfy her.

Ignoring the seemingly unstable Julia, Guido sat down on a chair and immediately relayed what had happened at Bagaros Base back to headquarters.

Upon receiving the message, Bernardo, the Combat Department Director, felt a pang in his heart and sensed trouble.

He cautiously found the Chairman, who was executing someone in the interrogation room, and seeing the breathless body there, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Cha... Chairman, Guido has just sent a message."

"What, has he and Julia killed Bai Fu already?" The Chairman turned around, wiping his hands with a tissue.

"No, they haven't set out yet. Bai Fu and those from Genetic Primordial were attracted by the bait we set at Bagaros Base, and then..."

The Chairman's face darkened, "Don't tell me the operation to kill Bai Fu has failed again?"

"That's not it." Bernardo swallowed, "It's much worse than that. Just now, Bagaros Base captured one of Bai Fu's lackeys..."

He recounted the events that had just taken place.

Without needing further explanation, after hearing what Bernardo said, the Chairman understood that there was a 99% chance Li Cheng's exposure had nothing to do with a mole, but because the lackey of Bai Fu, known as the 'sleeping dragon and fledgeling phoenix', possessed a superpower to resurrect from death.

So...

He turned around, looking at the high-ranking member of Truth Society he had just killed under the pretense of purging.

No wonder no matter how ruthlessly he acted, even utilizing Julia's abilities, that man stubbornly insisted he had nothing to do with Bai Fu or Genetic Primordial.

It turned out it wasn't because the man was tight-lipped but because he truly wasn't the mole; he was simply caught being greedy and pocketing a lot of money.

"Bai! Fu!"

The raspy voice was forcefully squeezed from his throat.

Bernardo was drenched in sweat.

It took a long time before he heard the Chairman say, "Don't let word of this get out."

Bernardo didn't dare utter a word of protest, promptly agreeing.

...

Elsewhere, Bai Fu, as one of the main combatants in this operation, was attending a pre-battle meeting hosted by the military branch of Genetic Primordial.

For this assault on Bagaros Base, Genetic Primordial deployed many people. Perhaps to retaliate against the disgraceful insult of Truth Society turning Li Cheng, the Intelligence Bureau alone sent two sub-departments, three and four, and the military also dispatched influential figures from within Genetic Primordial.

However, this led to a problem.

Too many cooks spoil the broth, and the meeting quickly descended into a quarrel.

There was an uproarious debate over whether the Intelligence Bureau should scout first and then launch a general attack, or whether the military should commence the attack with the Intelligence Bureau seizing the opportunity to infiltrate Bagaros Base.

Lu Yuelin, who usually preferred to slack off, surprisingly became a leading force in the argument, utterly fearless even in the face of threats from the military representatives.

"Don't think Boss Lu just slacks off all the time. When dealing with outsiders, he's quite responsible. Otherwise, why would all those connected people respect him? Who doesn't like a leader who doesn't micromanage and is willing to protect his own from the rain and wind?"

Xu Hong whispered to Bai Fu.

Bai Fu nodded.

She actually had a pretty good impression of the group; apart from that jerk Li Cheng, nobody really gave her a hard time. Lately, when they saw her, they sweetly called her Sister Fu or Sister Bai.

Bai Fu looked around, and just then, she suddenly received a game prompt.

[Due to your indirect influence, the Truth Society has suffered a certain degree of damage]

What the heck?

Bai Fu was a bit confused.

She was just sitting here in a meeting, doing nothing – how had the Truth Society been damaged under her influence?

She hurriedly opened the storyline mission [Unknown Truth] that was triggered after killing the second wave of assassins sent by Li Cheng.

After exposing Li Cheng, the progress of the task had gone from 0% to 0.13%, and it hadn't moved since then, but now, she discovered the percentage had inexplicably risen to 0.28%.

The hell, was there a glitch in the game?

Bai Fu was puzzled, and after checking the game prompts for a long time, she still couldn't make heads or tails of the situation.

But considering that the progress of the task had gone up was a good thing no matter how you looked at it, she didn't dwell on it any longer.

"Is the meeting over?"

She asked Xu Hong and Xia Shi beside her.

Xia Shi said, "The final decision was for our Intelligence Bureau to go scout the situation first, with the official action happening in half an hour."

Bai Fu had no objections; even if she did, it wouldn't change anything.

While she was chatting with Xia Shi, the military representative Basque suddenly approached.

"So you're Bai Fu? I'm Basque from the Genetic Primordial Combat Strategy Room." Basque had a friendly smile on his face, "I've heard that it's all thanks to you we could root out the traitor Li Cheng. I'm looking forward to seeing your performance in this operation."

He simply greeted her and then left.

Bai Fu didn't pay too much attention, but she subconsciously used Spiritual Vision on the stranger she met, and the feedback was quite intriguing.

[Affinity]: Hostility (-31)

"Is he close with Li Cheng?" Bai Fu inquired.

Xia Shi shook her head: "I haven't heard of him having any relations with Li Cheng."

That didn't make any sense. My actions didn't impact him, so could it be that he's a spy for the Truth Society or maybe he's jealous of my beauty?

Without showing her thoughts, Bai Fu planned to find a player to keep an eye on Basque just in case.

She brought so many players here – it'd be a waste not to make good use of them.

As she went outside, she saw Digging Girl hurriedly run up to her.

"Bad news, Fufu, something big has happened!"

"What happened?" Bai Fu was slightly startled.

Digging Girl glanced at Xu Hong and Xia Shi, then showed a look of difficulty.

Bai Fu immediately understood her meaning and led her aside: "Can you tell me now?"

Digging Girl said, "Just now, Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi and the others sneaked off to Bagaros, and then they were captured by the people from the Truth Society. Our whereabouts have been exposed, but the only piece of good news is they transmitted the position of the Bagaros Base."

She handed Bai Fu a hand-drawn map with a big red X marked on it.

The moment Bai Fu saw the red X, a glint flashed in her eyes.

The position of the Bagaros Base indicated by this red X and the location marked on the military representative's map during the meeting was completely different.

Bagaros was indeed a trap laid out by the Truth Society; they'd created a fake base, while the real base was miles away from the decoy.

Too bad, even if the Truth Society was cunning, they couldn't predict the existence of players, who were even sneakier.

Bai Fu looked at the hundred-plus players she'd brought with her.

Truth Society, here I f**king come!
