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

Chapter 141: 68 Task settlement, the true White Reaper [5.5k]_2



Bai Fu curled her lips, she had to keep upping the ante.

The Truth Society wanted her dead, but she, Bai Fu, was far from a pushover.

"Digging Girl."

After finishing her own business, Bai Fu called Digging Girl over, as she had an urgent matter to entrust.

...

The incident where a follower of Bai Fu assassinated Basque's confidant in a tavern caused a sensation.

The Genetic Primordial officers at the scene nearly fainted with rage, they swarmed towards the follower of Bai Fu, but before they could take the follower down, the follower shot themself twice.

Think you can catch me?

I'm not playing your games!

When the follower of Bai Fu lay on the ground, whether it was those who were hostile towards Bai Fu or those who were not, they all felt like a bucket of cold water was dumped on them, leaving them with a sinking, cold feeling in their hearts.

Bai Fu hadn't even died yet, and those who followed her were so fiercely defiant; they couldn't imagine the kind of retaliation these people would unleash if Bai Fu actually died.

The big shots up there always walked around with a bunch of guards, not afraid of retaliation, but these small fries were not equipped to withstand such devastation.

Soon, Special Agents from all around received the news and rushed over.

Looking at the two corpses on the ground, and the familiar face of the follower of Bai Fu, they immediately understood what had happened here.

They weren't sure if this was orchestrated by Bai Fu, she was capable of killing Basque right in front of everyone, so it seemed plausible for her to order her followers to kill Basque's confidant too.

Regardless of what really happened, seeing those stunned officers made them secretly exultant.

The Intelligence Bureau and the military had always had mutual disdain, and although Basque acted normal during this operation, his people had caused no small amount of trouble for the Intelligence Bureau, and they had long harbored resentment.

Now it was their turn.

You were arrogant before, weren't you? Try being arrogant now!

"Bai Fu is badass!"

"With the military not likely to let this slide so easily, and being hunted by both the Truth Society and the military, I don't know if Bai Fu can survive," sighed Xu Hong, concerned about Bai Fu's future.

Like Xia Shi, he was a resolute fighter against the Truth Society, and even though he didn't say it out loud, he had long considered Bai Fu a comrade-in-arms for her repeated defiance against the Truth Society.

Xia Shi was preoccupied with heavy thoughts until someone called her name.

"Xia Shi, you stepped in to stop them, the military will definitely hold you accountable when you get back."

Xia Shi shook her head: "It's okay, my dad won't ignore me."

"Alright." Lu Yuelin stood up, "From now on, don't discuss Bai Fu anymore, leave all matters to me to handle. If anyone asks, just say that your cooperation with Bai Fu was purely ordinary, and that you know nothing else."

Special Agents all around turned their heads to look at Lu Yuelin.

At the critical moment, Uncle Lu really stood firm!

Indeed, Lu Yuelin wasn't just any kind of firm; that very night, somebody came to inquire about Bai Fu, and he took control of the situation.

In response to their inquiries, he claimed to know nothing and be unclear about anything; in response to their accusations, he questioned them back—if they said there was a problem with Bai Fu, did they have clear evidence? Without clear evidence, they had nothing to say.

"We in the Intelligence Bureau value accuracy, timeliness, listening to rumors is not how things operate. If we went by hearsay, who in the Genetic Primordial wouldn't be associated with the Truth Society?"

Lu Yuelin put up a defiant attitude that said, "Are you trying to teach me my job?" The visitor left gnashing their teeth in frustration, powerless to act against Lu Yuelin, whose rank was higher than theirs.

"If you find any trace of Bai Fu, report it immediately!"

That was all he could say before leaving in chagrin.

Lu Yuelin won a significant victory, but his mood was quite somber, having heard that Basque had moved under the orders of a general, indicating that Genetic Primordial concealed secrets he was unaware of.

He found Xia Shi: "Your father just contacted me, and he wants me to send you back immediately, I'll grant you a paid leave."

Xia Shi nodded: "Thank you, Uncle Lu."

She felt that her tenure as a Special Agent was likely over, and once she returned, her father would surely not let her wander freely.

But when she stood up to block those soldiers for Bai Fu, she had mentally prepared herself, so she felt no regret.

Life often works this way; when you choose one thing, you have to give up another.

Like when she chose wealth at the time of her reincarnation, thereby giving up the troubles that come with being short on cash.

Xia Shi stood by the car, blowing in the night's cold wind, recalling the conversation she had with Bai Fu in the car after they had apprehended Li Cheng. She had promised to help Bai Fu look into that 001 file, which contained information on the origins of Spirit Energy on Ancestral Origin Star. This return trip was a good opportunity to tackle that task.

Lost in thought, she suddenly heard footsteps nearby.

"Huh, you are... if I remember right, you are one of Bai Fu's followers, right?" Xia Shi turned her head.

Patrick said: "My name is Patrick, and I'm here to deliver a message from Bai Fu."

"What message?" asked Xia Shi with a puzzled face.

Patrick replied: "She says she remembers your kindness. Anytime, any place, if you run into trouble, you can call on her. She will be your steadfast support."

Xia Shi froze, then she chuckled.

"Sounds nice, but I don't even have her contact information. If I really run into trouble, where am I supposed to find her?"

Patrick responded: "That's easy; you just need to find someone similar to me from out of town and have them relay the message. No matter the distance, Bai Fu will receive your message very soon."
