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

The sudden gun barrel stretching out from the shadows had almost scared Platt to the point of wetting himself.

Fortunately, being an experienced actor, his acting skills were no worse than those of Bai Fu, the rising star above the Stars. In some respects, he even surpassed her, so apart from the initial pupil dilation, he didn't show any sign of panic.

He never dreamed that Bai Fu would appear here.

Before sneaking out, he had specifically checked that Bai Fu was sleeping, and Black Fu was busy tinkering with the cards; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to act rashly.

Could it be that it was all an act, and Bai Fu had suspected him and secretly followed him when he left?

Platt silently shook his head.

No, no matter how he thought about it, it was impossible.

Upon arriving here, he had specifically used spiritual telekinesis to investigate for a long time and confirmed there were no abnormalities before he contacted the people in the camp.

From this angle, even if Bai Fu had overheard his conversation, at most, she would have only heard the latter part. It was very likely that Bai Fu didn't hear a single word and was just putting pressure on him to trap him into revealing more.

Thinking this, Platt slowly calmed down.

"Court Master, please allow me to address you like this for now. I am somewhat confused about the current situation."

Bai Fu said, "You don't need to understand too much. You just need to tell me what you want with the Obsidian Fragment, also known as what you call the Holy Relic."

Platt looked anxious, "Are you suspecting me? I've already told you, the Holy Relic is used to cure the sick people in the camp. If you don't believe me, you can investigate. If you still don't believe me, you can personally come back with us to the camp and see how we use the Holy Relic. If you find even a slight problem, you can kill me immediately!"

Bai Fu's smile was more mocking than joyful, "That's not what I want to hear. I want to know what you personally want to do with the Obsidian Fragment."

Platt's heart skipped a beat.

How could he say such a thing out loud? If he really said it, Bai Fu wouldn't even need to take action herself; the people in the camp would tear him apart.

He could only continue to argue, "I want the Holy Relic just to save those sick people in the camp. We don't need to argue about this here. If you don't want to help us, either let us go or just kill us."

As he spoke, he adopted an attitude of readiness to face death.

Bai Fu was unconcerned with Platt's attitude. She directly opened her personal terminal and contacted Dallas in front of Platt.

"Help me check again the private relations between Platt and the Old Republic, the faster, the better. If you can't find anything, help me post a bounty, start with fifty thousand. I can afford that much, and if fifty thousand is not enough, increase it to a hundred thousand. The person who completes this bounty will also gain my friendship."

Dallas laughed and replied, "As an S-class assassin and the newly-crowned queen of the Dark Realm, just your friendship alone is worth more than fifty thousand. If the family rules did not prohibit family members from accepting commissions on the Dark Web, I would want to personally take up that task you posted."

How suave you are.

Bai Fu arched an eyebrow, and when she raised her head, she noticed that Platt's complexion had changed.

"Dallas Makarov?"

"You know him?"

"I've heard of him."

Platt had had several encounters with the Dark Web before. Although with his status he couldn't reach someone at Dallas's level, he had often heard about how formidable Dallas was.

Dallas was the general liaison officer for the Dark Web and a key figure in the Makarov Family of this generation, known as the friendly tiger. His power might not necessarily be less than that of some S-class assassins, but in facing Bai Fu, his attitude was peaceful, like meeting an old friend, no, not just an old friend. In front of Bai Fu, he even intentionally lowered his posture.

The fact that Dallas would lower his posture suggested that Bai Fu's influence was far scarier than Platt could fathom!

Platt's heart sank.

He had never heard the name Bai Fu before, nor did he know if it was because his rank was too low, or if Bai Fu had just emerged during the few months he had stayed in the camp without going out.

Either way, the situation was greatly unfavorable to him.

As Platt remained silent, Bai Fu dialed Su Li's number.

She straightforwardly asked, "Do you have an intelligence network on the side of the Old Republic?"

"Bai Fu?"

Hearing from Bai Fu after a long time left Su Li stunned before she burst into ungraceful laughter.

Having not seen Bai Fu for days, she harbored no bitterness towards her. If Bai Fu were there in person, she would definitely tackle Bai Fu to the ground and affectionately kiss her several times.

Before the attack on the Ocean Life Research Institute, she had worked hard for years on assignments to progress from a nobody to a key member of the Railroad Guild's intelligence department. Following this task, using the methods she had covertly learned from Bai Fu to win over the Undying People, she had become the deputy director of the new department managing the Undying People within just a half-month, which was a half-grade higher than her previous direct boss.

She was ecstatic!

"When do you have time to visit the Railroad Guild? I'll treat you to some fun."

Such a cunning woman!

Bai Fu rolled her eyes, "Let's talk business first."

"Of course, we do have one. Apart from the Truth Society, whose headquarters we can't locate, which of the other major powers does not have spies in each other? What do you need me to check for you? I can handle small matters by finding someone to check for you, but if it's important intelligence I'll have to apply to my former boss, Minister Zhou."
