When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 264 - 111 Bai Fu’s Perfect Curtain Call, Unlock Profession Advancement Task! [2/2]
Years later, Bai Fu stood in the wilderness and remembered the night when the Dark Moon Eye Prayer Card she had stuck on the Truth Society Guard was discovered.
It was somewhat horrifying!
She wasn't sure whether the Truth Society Chairman was bluffing or if he had truly seen her through the Prayer Card, but either way, it was no longer safe to stay there.
Because even if the Truth Society Chairman was just bluffing, he would definitely send people, or even come himself to check the situation immediately.
In the nighttime, the fierce blaze caused by the helicopter explosion was particularly striking, and he, or his people, would soon come knocking.
Even with Black Fu and hundreds of players helping, Bai Fu didn't think she could defeat the Truth Society Chairman.
A disparity of Total Level 13 was not a small figure, especially since the Truth Society Chairman had unlocked an advanced profession, gaining more attributes with each level up, which made the gap even larger than it appeared.
But to simply retreat like this, Bai Fu was reluctant.
Since she had already come, merely taking down a helicopter and Carl seemed a bit too weak—she had to find a way to leave the Truth Society Chairman with a few more valuable things.
The perfect curtain call for a Game Master was four long-range sniper shots, whereas the perfect curtain call Bai Fu imagined involved Black Fu, hundreds of players, and the remaining Prayer Cards on her, all combined to form a grand stage!
...
After receiving the Chairman's message, everyone in the laboratory sprang into action.
"Chairman."
Laboratory Director Pan Yunyi approached the Chairman with a serious expression, inquiring if they should prepare for evacuation.
This secret laboratory was equipped with many important research devices, which the Chairman had accumulated little by little over the years; if they had to evacuate immediately, most of these devices would need to be destroyed.
Frankly, the cost was too high, Pan Yunyi couldn't bear it; he had dealt with these devices for over a decade, and to him, they were as precious as his own children.
The Chairman's face was very stern, "First gather all the research data and experiments, and once trouble arises, take as much equipment as possible; the rest must be blown up."
Pan Yunyi nodded helplessly—it was indeed the wisest decision at the moment.
"Wish you a triumphant return, Chairman."
On the orders of the Truth Society Chairman, only a few of the powerful superpower users, fully armed, remained in the laboratory to prevent any sneak attacks.
Ten minutes later, three helicopters flew out from the automatically opened doors of the laboratory.
From a high altitude, the fire at Carl's crash site was dazzling.
"Move closer!"
The helicopters immediately changed direction, leading the ground forces to launch a raid.
On the way, they encountered the ground troops previously sent by Carl; after Carl's helicopter was shot down, these guards had been too scared to move.
They wanted to go and check, but feared it was a trap; they thought about retreating, but feared an ambush on the way, leaving them caught in a dilemma, when the Truth Society Chairman arrived.
"What has happened?"
The Chairman's presence commanded respect without anger.
A guard, trembling, relayed the events, not really knowing what had happened, but the scene of a hundred arrows downing the helicopter had firmly imprinted itself in his mind, an awe-inspiring memory he would never forget.
"Carl is most likely dead by now, otherwise he would have returned by now!"
"Foolish and overzealous!"
The nearby superpower users, after hearing this, were filled with righteous indignation, wishing they could tear Carl apart again.
The Chairman lowered his hand, "Now is not the time for that, let's find the intruder first."
He couldn't afford to be angry about Carl's foolish actions and his death.
When he had first noticed the presence of the Dark Moon Eye Prayer Card, he had already sensed something was amiss; when he actually found the Prayer Card on the wounded guard, he was even more certain of his suspicions.
This Prayer Card had the ability to sense, but the key issue lay in that the Prayer Card was something he had never seen before.
With his understanding of Spiritual Energy, he had never encountered such a thing; the person who could develop something like this must possess intelligence and abilities far beyond the ordinary.
This was no accident, it was deliberate!
"I can sense THEIR presence, and I can even feel a familiar sensation from THEM, but..."
He couldn't remember.
Faces of many arch-enemies flashed through the Chairman's mind, but none matched the shadow he had seen through the Prayer Card.
Who could it be?
"Move on."
With a command, the helicopters and ground troops cautiously continued to advance.
On their way, they encountered no ambushing forces, and smoothly reached the site where the helicopter had crashed.
The Chairman jumped down from the helicopter, surveying the surroundings. What met his eyes was a ground that looked as though it had been ravaged by artillery, the wrecked helicopter, and the ground covered in fresh blood and a dozen bodies.
"Report, Carl's body isn't found."
A superpower user, after searching the ground, approached the Chairman.
The Chairman shook his head, "Don't bother looking; he's already dead, otherwise our guest wouldn't be so confident waiting in the shadows for us to arrive."

What?
Everyone around, upon hearing the Chairman's words, was taken aback. Their hearts raced as they started looking around, but despite their best efforts, they saw no signs of anything unusual.
