When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 425 - 159 Void Battle Maiden Appears, Bai Fu’s Popularity Faces a Huge Challenge [2/2]_3
"Sigh, still dead."
Green Mud stood up, just as he had called up the communicator's virtual interface, Red Lotus appeared beside him as if she had instantly teleported.
This scene left Bai Fu stunned.
What the, how did you pop up like that, and, were you two in cahoots all along?
Green Mud said, "Supervisor, Aguqi he..."
"I know, he's already dead." Red Lotus crouched in front of the cryogenic chamber. Her face showed no expression, but at that moment, the temperature of the entire room plummeted by more than ten degrees, "He followed me for a year, not long, but after all, he was my subordinate. I will make Singularity Company pay for his funeral."
"Funeral? That's big talk. I'd like to see who dares to accompany us in death!"
Suddenly, Jai appeared at the entrance of the secret room.
Bai Fu's face darkened. One only needed to look at Red Lotus's panel to know how strong a peak level A-ranked Superpower User was. If there was only Jai blocking the door, it would be fine since they had Red Lotus on their side. But Jai was followed by a large group of people, and it wouldn't be easy to safely escape with the Dissociative Potion progenitor.
Subconsciously, she threw a Spiritual Vision Skill at Jai, but the feedback that came back left her dumbfounded.
Jai's panel level was one level higher than Red Lotus's, yet his Danger Level was only yellow, stronger than her, but not by much.
Both being peak level A-ranked Superpower Users, how could Jai be so much weaker than Red Lotus?
While she was confused, Red Lotus suddenly spoke up, "Was it you who captured Aguqi here?"
Jai was taken aback, "How are you still alive?"
Red Lotus, who didn't get the answer she wanted, seemed to lose her patience, "Never mind, it doesn't matter whether it's you or someone else, either way, you are all dead already."
Jai was angered to the point of laughter. It had been a long time since he had encountered someone so arrogant.
"Causing so much damage to the company, today I will make you beg for life and death..."
Bang!
A sudden burst of explosion interrupted Jai's words. When the explosion subsided, Jai had vanished without a trace, only his masterless classical robe fluttered to the ground like a fallen leaf.
In an instant, the entire secret room fell into dead silence, quiet enough to hear a pin drop.
This situation lasted for a few seconds, then, those who had come with Jai started to flee like madmen.
"It's an S-ranked Superpower User!"
"Run!" freёweɓnovel.com
"Damn it, why is an S-ranked Superpower User coming after us?"
Singularity Company's other executives were sweating profusely as they scrambled into the spaceship that had been prepared in advance.
"Quick, contact Secret Tower, tell them what happened here."
"Leave this damn company, blow them up, blow them all up!"
The spaceship rapidly ascended into the night sky. In the cockpit, the voices of people and AI merged, and the giant cannon below the spaceship began to flicker with bright blue light.
"Fuck!"
Including Bai Fu, who had just run out of the secret room, everyone near Singularity Company felt their scalps tingle. With the caliber of that laser cannon, one shot would reduce the entire Singularity Company and the surrounding area to ashes. Had Singularity Company been secretly hiding such a cruel weapon? Such laser cannons normally couldn't be acquired through proper channels and were controlled items across all major civilizations.
Bai Fu looked at the Dissociative Potion progenitor in her hand, then at Vic beside her.
Her Spiritual Ability Construction included the ability to fly, and she could escape, but she could only carry so much with her, and she had to choose between the Dissociative Potion progenitor and Vic. Considering Vic's Main Character status, and the fact that there was more than one Dissociative Potion progenitor, she eventually decided to take Vic and leave.
However, just when she was about to take off, something unexpected happened.
The ring around Red Lotus's neck suddenly shattered into countless fragments, and numerous red dots fluttered out of her body like fireflies on a summer night. Her clothes, her flesh, and even her soul, seemed to ignite at that moment.
"You really think you can still leave?"
[Huh?]
The players surrounding Bai Fu were all surprised.
They only saw Red Lotus stretch out her right hand, and then, a huge Ship-Slicing Blade, blazing with flames, gradually emerged from the palm of her hand.
"It's her!"
In the crowd, someone shouted, and at once, many people had the same name appear in their minds.
She was the embodiment of might, one of the most dazzling names in the Sea Lion Star System. When she swung the giant Ship-Slicing Blade towards the Singularity Company spaceship soaring higher into the sky, the entire night seemed to freeze. People only saw the Light Blade sweep across the sky, as if celestial fire reversed its course, cleaving the spaceship in two.
The next second, the spaceship split in half in mid-air, the crack causing an explosion, the explosion sending innumerable large fragments falling, and what seemed to be an impending catastrophe.
Then, the fiery figure holding the Ship-Slicing Blade simply raised her left hand, and from the center of the spaceship, a red shockwave blasted forth. It lit up half of the sky and pulverized the spaceship.
Many people on the scene witnessed this, as did countless players in the live streams.
When the dust settled, all eyes were on the woman floating in mid-air, enveloped in flames.
Even without anyone introducing her, Bai Fu recognized her—
The only person from the entire Sea Lion Star System to be featured in the "Cosmic Net" card set, affiliated with the Star Contract Organization, an S+-ranked Superpower User rumored to be just a step away from Catastrophe Level, known as the Void Battle Maiden.
Red Lotus = Void Battle Maiden!
Bai Fu felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
This was the bad woman who was going to steal players from her, and she didn't even dare to imagine how much popularity the Void Battle Maiden could garner with that single slash among the players.
Although she had known that she would encounter many NPCs that would compete with her for popularity after entering the Star Sea, she didn't expect a rival to appear so soon and so unexpectedly.
