"A minor injury ignored might become a major one, so if you don't want me to check it, just drink the medicine yourself."

Saying this, she pushed the medicine into Cecilia's palm.

Cecilia looked at Bai Fu, her face filled with expectation, with a complex expression.

She couldn't tell, she really couldn't!

Was Bai Fu truly concerned about her, or was she just acting?

If it was genuine concern, should she still confine Bai Fu in the dark room?

If it was still an act, should she angrily kill Bai Fu right then?

She couldn't bear to do it.

Because even if it was an act, the concern in Bai Fu's eyes was something she currently longed for.

Cecilia mechanically drank the medicine.

Seeing her do this, Bai Fu patted her chest and exhaled deeply.

"Good that you drank it."

After a moment, her expression turned anxious, "You killed Foster, and this news will probably reach the ears of the Housekeeper of the Secret Tower soon, and then you..."

"I can't go back," Cecilia stated coldly, "The Secret Tower will soon initiate a manhunt against me."

"So, do you want to stay? You don't have to worry about Manu and the others harming you, my reputation will guarantee that others won't ostracize you, you won't have to hide like before, you can live in the sunlight as you've longed for, you can appear on TV, and after doing good deeds, you can enjoy the cheers of others."

Bai Fu looked at Cecilia sincerely.

Even though she had been deceiving Cecilia, she felt that overall, it was more beneficial than harmful for Cecilia.

If Cecilia stayed in the Secret Tower, as the plot progressed with the version updates, she would eventually be killed by players who had grown powerful in the Star Sea, and she would never experience the life of being praised by all that she had dreamed of, only feeling regret and remorse as her consciousness faded away; honestly, it was a quite bleak ending.

Although Cecilia was being utterly manipulated now, to the point of having unstable mental states at times, as long as she could recover her bearings, firstly, she would no longer need to be enemies with the players, and secondly, she could attempt to pursue everything she had ever longed for, wouldn't that be perfect?

By coaxing Cecilia so painstakingly, Bai Fu certainly had her own motives.

A superpower user of Cecilia's level leaving would significantly weaken the power of the Secret Tower, and if she could extract something like the Secret Tower's secrets from Cecilia, the contribution points for the task she took to destroy the Secret Tower might jump by more than 10%.

As for whether Cecilia was willing to stay by her side, Bai Fu wasn't particularly concerned.

It would be good if she stayed; if not, she could leave as she wished.

Cecilia fell silent, not replying immediately. After a while, she said indifferently, "I am a monster, not looking like one now, but once the spider takes over my body, I will become a monster."

"This doesn't matter; I can help you completely assimilate the spider's power. You should remember Fei Ye well, right? She was infected with the blood of the void and could have turned into a strangely shaped Void Life at any slight mishap, but with my help, she's now stabilized and probably not far from advancing to a Catastrophe level."

Fei Ye!

The moment that name came up, Cecilia's emotions surged.

She believed what Bai Fu had just said about helping her assimilate the spider's power, but she completely abandoned the idea of staying by Bai Fu's side.

Seeing Bai Fu and Fei Ye together in the news, she couldn't help wanting to capture them and viciously torment Bai Fu in front of Fei Ye.iang If she were to see Bai Fu and Fei Ye fighting together every day in real life, just imagine?

She'd either suffocate herself or end up fighting Fei Ye to the fringes of the universe.

"I'm not interested in staying by your side; I have my own things to do, I want to seek revenge against those who previously insulted me, but you also have a grudge against the Secret Tower, so we could possibly cooperate."

"Cooperate?"

"I can provide you with various intelligence on the Secret Tower, show up to help you when you need, you need to help me assimilate the spider inside me, and when I need... Oh, I'll also need some Undying People, you have many of them, borrowing them shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Of course, that's no problem, tell me as much as you need, I will have them follow you."

Bai Fu readily agreed, assigning a camp task is simple.

Cecilia asked, "What intelligence do you want? I know some secret bases of the Secret Tower and the whereabouts of some important members."

Bai Fu nodded, "Apart from these, do you know where the Secret Tower hides the original stock of the Dissociative Potions? I need at least three."

"Three?"

Cecilia frowned slightly, switching on her communicator, intending to mark several spots on the map when suddenly, she exclaimed in surprise.

"It's connected!"

What's connected?

Bai Fu was a bit confused.

Cecilia explained, "Connected to the Interstellar Network."

What?

There are no interstellar network relay devices near the Golden Valley Star, it's not possible to connect to the network here.

Bai Fu quickly opened her own communicator, and just as Cecilia had said, it really was connected to the network; she suddenly had a bold speculation, so she quickly opened the game map.

"Exactly!"

The game map showed that she wasn't on the Golden Valley Star at all but on a planet near the Sea Lion Star System.

She quickly zoomed in on the map, noticing that compared to before, there was an extra portal marker, which represented the gateway she had opened using the Superpower Evolution Tree Diagram.
