When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 50 - 32 Bai Fu’s Evil Upgrade Method [Trilogy for More Follows]_2
Upon learning of Number Nine's actions, Yago bellowed, "Are you all insane? This will attract all the mutant life nearby, and everyone at the Abandoned Cooling Factory will die!"
Julia replied with a cold face, "Instead of ranting here, better think about how to survive the imminent Insect Tide."
"Damn it, beasts!"
Yago and Xia Shi raised their guns at the same time, but just as they moved, players controlled by Julia blocked their way.
"Going to shoot?" Julia stroked a strand of hair beside her ear, looking relaxed.
Veins bulged on the foreheads of Yago and Xia Shi as they refrained from pulling the triggers. They weren't crazy like the members of the Truth Society; they still couldn't bring themselves to kill the innocent to achieve their ends.
Damn it.
It had only been a few days since they received the informant's message that the Truth Society had covertly infiltrated the Genetic Primordial. It had only been three days since they received the Task to conduct a routine investigation at the Abandoned Cooling Factory. So why did they encounter such a massive crisis as soon as they arrived today?
This is too bizarre.
There was no investigation, no outwitting the enemy, just the leading actors' names broadcast, and then it fast forwarded to the final battle before the grand ending. Is this how a normal script plays out? Did someone f***ing change the script before they arrived?
Sweat soaked Yago's back, but no matter how sweaty he got, he had to keep playing his role.
The Inductive Bait was already down; running away was unlikely, so they only had a chance to survive if they fought.
"Xia Shi, I'll keep an eye on things here. You go check the situation outside and also get in touch with..."
As he spoke, Yago's voice trailed off, distracted by the players.
"Those two look like they're from a righteous organization."
"Inductive Bait, sounds like a monster-gathering cage or something. Pretty cool. What if we got some to combine with traps for automatic monster farming?"
"Not a bad idea. The problem is how?"
"Holy shit, ready to lay waste without a second thought. These guys are seriously at it!"
"Is a defense battle coming up?"
A group of players gathered to chat, completely ignoring their surroundings, some laughing, some serious, some eager to try.
Besides that, another group of players crowded around Bai Fu, bombarding her with questions.
"Fufu, Fufu, is this what you've been investigating?"
"Pretty much."
"What's the Truth Society and what's the Genetic Primordial?"
"The Truth Society and Genetic Primordial are one of the five great forces on Ancestral Origin Star. Among them..."
Yago watched in dismay.
No, what are you all doing?
In this place, in this situation, is it time for a passionate chat? Don't you realize you've all become hostages?
I'm so pissed!
Yago rubbed his eyes vigorously, beginning to doubt he was dreaming; otherwise, he couldn't explain why these people were so relaxed.
"Yago," Xia Shi's voice rang out.
Yago swallowed and asked, "What's up?"
"Let me pinch you."
"Get lost. Pinch yourself."
Yago swiftly dodged. Now certain he wasn't dreaming, the only explanation he had was that these people were insane.
The world couldn't have gone mad so suddenly, could it? Although the world had become very crazy since the Great Battle a hundred years ago, crazy is not lunacy. These people's behavior was completely illogical.
Actually, not just Yago—aside from Bai Fu and the players themselves, who among those present didn't feel baffled?

Now Julia and Number Nine began to suspect that the players were aliens wearing human skins.
The odd atmosphere persisted until Patrick shouted loudly, breaking it.
"What are you two dawdling for? Shoot now!"
Yago jerked his head up, staring at Patrick in astonishment, "Are you yelling at me?"
"Didn't you hear her say the Insect Tide is coming and everyone's going to die?" Patrick urged hectically. "Shoot her now; she must have something to drive away the insects, otherwise she would never dare to trigger the Insect Tide rashly!"
"That's true, but..."
Yago and Xia Shi stared fixedly at the group of players controlled by Julia.
They're going to die; these people will definitely be sacrificed!
"Why are you still hesitating? They're just human shields. Surely you're not running low on bullets, are you?"
After Patrick shouted, the controlled players also started yelling.
"Shoot, damn it. I'm already under control, I'll die sooner or later. Are you saving the bullets for the New Year?"
"Don't dawdle, the longer you wait, the greater the harm the Insect Tide will cause!"
Yago and Xia Shi exchanged a glance.
They suddenly felt ashamed; they had just called these people crazy, but it was these so-called crazies who stepped up at the crucial moment, willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good.
What kind of spirit was that? It was damn moving!
"Xia Shi."
"Yago."
The two nodded to each other, feeling an infinite power surge within.
To ensure these people didn't die in vain, for the Abandoned Cooling Factory, and for themselves, they had to kill those two bastards from the Truth Society!
Bai Fu was speechless.
Wasn't this her favorite tactic? How had the players learned it and started using it to grind Affinity with other NPCs?
The moment Yago and Xia Shi raised their guns again, Julia's eyes turned silver. Actually, she wasn't too keen on using this Power too much; it drained her significantly and she feared an accident might occur. Since the other side wasn't intimidated, it was time to fight. She had to complete the experimental verification and couldn't let anyone interfere.
