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

The investigation of the Ocean Life Research Institute ended quickly, and the situation was indeed dire.

At the entrance, corpses and blood stains were everywhere!

Deep within the institute, all the data storage devices that could be taken had been cleanly removed!

But this was not the most disheartening part. From the first door that was smashed to the surveillance room, there were no signs of battle along the way, only one body that had been shot, and the only thing that was violently destroyed was the door of the surveillance room.

"There are only two possibilities, either the intruders have a special superpower that allows them to pass through walls, or there is a traitor inside the institute who opened the gates for them!"

Pangbadun's face was covered in a layer of frost.

He was more inclined to believe in the latter, because if it were the former, the intruders would have had no reason to kill so many people at the entrance or to smash the surveillance room's door.

Of course, the most important point was, if there was no traitor, how would the intruders have targeted an institute that on the surface only researched marine life?

However, he was also aware that now was not the time to be concerned with such matters.

The research data from the institute had been stolen, and once the information was released, the impact would be ten times worse than the information previously disclosed by the Truth Society; the reputation of Genetic Primordial would be tarnished beyond repair, becoming as cursed as the Truth Society.

If they were to end up in such a state before the final plan was implemented, it could lead to the plan's premature end.

An uncontrollable anger rose from the depths of Pangbadun's heart.

First, it was Li Cheng, then Bai Fu, followed by Graham from the Truth Society, and now these unknown people. Why was everyone opposing Genetic Primordial?

Kill, kill, kill! When the plan succeeds, he would kill all those who refused to submit!

"Go and find those Undying People sent here, they might know something," Pangbadun immediately ordered.

The Elite Agents sprung into action, and soon news came—

All the Undying People were gone!

"?"

Pangbadun was stunned.

Now, there were still only two possibilities: either the Undying People had deserted their posts, or the Undying People were the traitors.

He couldn't determine which possibility was the truth; he only knew that he was close to losing his grip on his rage.

Scum, a bunch of scum that emerged from who knows where!

This world would not allow the existence of such powerful Undying People, and if anyone were to have this power, it could only be him!

After returning to Sea Capital from the institute, Pangbadun immediately sought the other members of the Council of Seven, and after a discussion, they made a new decision: no longer to rely on the power of the Undying People, but instead to focus on researching the source of the Undying People's power.

After all, those Undying People were so weak at the moment that they could only be used as cannon fodder. Although their power was growing, by the time they had matured, the plan of Genetic Primordial would have long been completed.

If the plan failed, these Undying People, adept at changing sides with the wind, would likely abandon ship and run halfway through. If the plan succeeded, there was no use in keeping the Undying People.

With the manipulation by Bai Fu, another force repelling Players had emerged!

But compared with the Truth Society, which wanted to transform all Players into Mutant Warriors, Genetic Primordial's methods were relatively mild. At most, they would use cold violence on Players, administer anesthetic, and perform slice studies without completely ruining the players' accounts, like the Truth Society would.

Oh, thank heavens.

...

One and a half days later, after transferring between two modes of transportation, Bai Fu and others arrived safely at Shelter No. 5.

"I still need to deliver this data back to the Railroad Guild, so I won't impose on you. Let's part ways here."

Su Li reached out and shook hands with Bai Fu, then, with her voluptuous figure swaying, she boarded the helicopter dispatched by the Railroad Guild.

As the helicopter lifted off and flew into the sky, the pilot suddenly spoke up, "How is it?"

Su Li was slightly startled, "How is what?"

"I mean, what's your take on Silver Moon?"

Su Li's expression immediately became grave, "Extremely dangerous. An extremely dangerous existence. I suggest not to clash with her unless absolutely necessary. It's not a wise move!"

The pilot said, "I'll report your impressions to the higher-ups..."

"This isn't an impression, it's advice. Sincere advice!" Su Li interrupted the pilot, "If you don't believe me, you can ask those who acted with me. We're on the eve of a storm, and at this point, one wrong step could mean doom."

The pilot was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "I remember you were cursing her just a few days ago, wishing she'd slip on soap and break her leg while showering."

Su Li looked helpless, "That was then, this is now. Hadn't I not come into contact with her at that time?"

The pilot nodded, "When I report back, I'll emphasize what you just said. By the way, did you figure out how she's controlling those Undying People?"

"This..."

Su Li frowned slightly, recalling the footage she captured with the spy device and the behavior of the Undying People when Bai Fu attacked the institute. She really hadn't discerned any particular techniques.

The only possibly useful piece of information might be the half-joking words said by Bai Fu—

They think I'm a good person!

Was there any difference in how Bai Fu treated those Undying People compared to other people?

Su Li felt she was on the cusp of grasping something and needed to try it out.
