When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village
Chapter 591 - 591: 207 Secret Tower's plan, Bai Fu officially launches the Star Sea Era [Happy Mid-Autumn Festival]

To the people aboard the Secret Tower fleet, the trip to Golden Valley Star was nothing short of a nightmare.

They came with a thirst for slaughter, once thinking it was going to be an exciting game of cat and mouse, but it was only after they truly arrived at Golden Valley Star that they realized Bai Fu was the cat, a ferociously cunning Dark Domain cat!

No matter what tricks they tried, the end result was that Bai Fu played them with ease.

The Commander died a dreadful death, out of 6 S+ level Superpower Users, 3 died and 1 betrayed, the Dimension Fragments meant to trap Bai Fu became a cage for themselves, and just when the Dimension Fragments were lifted and the United Fleet from the Star Network and other civilizations was coming to their onslaught...

All of these events put together nearly drove the people of the Secret Tower fleet insane.

Fortunately, there is no unsolvable path under heaven, and when the United Fleet launched their total assault, due to every ship wanting to claim the glory and consequently revealing a flaw, they seized that flaw, and in the end, four spaceships successfully broke through the encirclement and activated their warp engines.

"We, did we survive?"

Pawel, who had been temporarily promoted to Commander, looked at the status bar for the warp engine on the virtual screen, feeling for a moment that all of this was somewhat unreal.

Only after a long time, when the cheers rose loudly around him, did he realize this was not a beautiful fantasy before death.

He, had truly survived!

He, had truly survived the clutches of the terrifying demon Bai Fu!

Hurray!

Pawel, an S level Superpower User, felt tears well up in his eyes; he would never provoke Bai Fu again in the future, and if he ever happened to run into her by accident, he would avoid her as far as possible.

Once he calmed down, he rushed to contact the Housekeeper to tell him they had survived.

The Housekeeper had already received news two hours earlier that Bai Fu had gone on a wrathful rampage, killing several S+ Superpower Users, and that Cecilia had suddenly betrayed them. As composed as he was, he had been so angry that he shook all over, like he was having a stroke.

But now, two hours later, he had finally calmed down.

This humiliating defeat for Secret Tower was bound to spark fierce discussions in all circles and deal a huge blow to the morale of Secret Tower as a whole. The current situation was terrible, but the worse it was, the more he, as one of the Managers of Secret Tower, needed to remain calm, not to lose judgment ability because of anger, not to shift blame randomly.

Could this disastrous defeat be blamed on Foster and the others?

No.

Unless they had clairvoyance, who could have predicted that Bai Fu was so cunning and insidious, pretending to be weak despite having Catastrophe Level power?

The only good news was that they had successfully captured nearly a thousand Undying People this time. If they could figure out the secret of the Undying People's immortality, then the sacrifice would be completely worthwhile.

The Housekeeper offered a few words of comfort to Pawel, then told Liu Yedao, the Advanced Research Supervisor, the good news about capturing the Undying People.

"When the spaceship returns, those Undying People will be handed over to you."

After sending off Liu Yedao, the Housekeeper returned to his office, leaning against the wall, he felt an unprecedented weariness.

He had never thought that Cecilia would betray them, but it happened nonetheless.

Cecilia's betrayal meant that the bases she had visited had to be abandoned, which was a blow to Secret Tower no less than the loss of 3 S+ level Superpower Users.

Fortunately, the security work at headquarters had always been done very well; everyone entering and leaving the headquarters had to pass through the Star Gate, so hardly anyone knew the exact location of the headquarters. All he needed to do was to dismantle the Star Gate that Cecilia used regularly. It wasn't necessary to relocate the whole headquarters entirely; otherwise, the loss would have been even greater.

"Cecilia, oh Cecilia, what on earth did Bai Fu give you?"

The Housekeeper massaged his temples and returned to his desk, just having sat down, when suddenly a black vortex appeared in front of him.

The Secret Tower Master?

He hastily stood up, and moments later, a tall man wearing a strange black mask emerged from the vortex.

"Master, your timing is impeccable, about the situation at Golden Valley Star..."

The Secret Tower Master waved his right hand, interrupting the Housekeeper, "I already know what happened at Golden Valley Star. After suffering such a blow, we must strike back. Organize a fleet; I want to make them pay the price!"

The Housekeeper said, "Master, I think now is not the best time for a counterattack. It would be better to wait..."

He shared his plan with the Secret Tower Master. ThereferenceversionofthischapterisonNovelFire.

The Secret Tower Master was non-committal about the plan, "Constantly backing down will only make the enemy look down on us. Our ancestors dared to trigger the Dimension Disaster and severely damage the enemy when they had concerns, so what is there for us to fear as Avengers? Besides, the fleet is just a decoy; the real trump card is this."

He extended his right hand, and in the palm lay a black insect about the size of a fingernail.

Seeing this insect, the Housekeeper's expression suddenly changed, "That plan succeeded?"

The plan he referred to was a plan formulated after the Secret Tower Master reached a cooperation with the Dark Domain Insect Clan Empress. It was named the "Dark Domain Parasite Plan," which involved both parties collaborating to research a special type of parasite. The parasite would not harm the human body under normal circumstances, but at a critical moment, the Dark Domain Insect Clan Empress could activate these parasites through some special means.

Once the parasites were activated, the minds of those who were parasitized would be controlled, becoming a node on the psychic network of the Dark Domain Insect Clan. Thus, the Dark Domain Insect Clan Empress could manipulate them to do whatever she wanted.

If this plan succeeded, it would deal a severe blow to civilizations like the Star Network, but its implementation was not easy.
