When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 280 - 117 Bai Fu: You’re right, I am the Ghost Night Dominator [1/2]_2
"You..."
Shatie never expected his opponent to resort to self-destruction. He dodged repeatedly, and although he was hardly injured, the drones that were closer all got blown to pieces.
"Useless!"
Watching the chaotic battlefield, Shatie's eyes turned red with anger.
The Truth Society, it really was an attack by the Truth Society, wasn't it?
To hell with the Truth Society!
And to hell with Beixim!
Beixim's origins actually tied him to the Truth Society as the outside world had rumored, and what's more, he'd played along with the Truth Society's charade. He deserved to die, damn it!
Shatie quickly contacted the intelligence department and reported the incident.
The intelligence department found it hard to believe that Beixim had truly defected to the Truth Society. But without that explanation, so many things just didn't make sense.
"Keep looking, don't jump to conclusions for now," the head of the intelligence department gave the latest order.
You just keep watching.
Bai Fu, who had secretly witnessed everything through Little Bai Fu, couldn't help but laugh.
Thanks to the Truth Society putting pressure on the Old Republic from the outside, and thanks to Shatie being confident enough not to call for reinforcements, there was no way she could have shaken off the pursuers with just one Black Fu and five Little Bai Fus, let alone easily convinced the people of the Old Republic that the attack had been carried out by the Truth Society.
Bai Fu's gaze fell on Beixim, who she had tied to a chair.
Now, with no disruptions, she could calmly proceed to interrogate Beixim and complete her task.
"Wake up, wake up."
Bai Fu slapped Beixim twice, jolting him awake.
Beixim shivered, "Bai Fu, you..."
Bai Fu asked, "I heard that you're in charge of the Old Republic's data science division. Tell me, is there any data related to the Spiritual Energy Spread Committee in the data science division?"
Beixim sneered, "What do you think?"
"Is that your attitude now, to stand against our Truth Society to the bitter end?" Bai Fu spread her hands.
"The Truth Society?" Beixim was suddenly startled, "When did you become one of the Truth Society?"
Bai Fu replied, "When did you start to think I wasn't with the Truth Society?"
Beixim's pupils shook violently. For a moment, a lot of information about Bai Fu crossed his mind. Indeed, Bai Fu had always been entangled with the Truth Society, but that wasn't evidence that she belonged to them.
However...
If Bai Fu truly was with the Truth Society, with their actions from the shadows and Bai Fu gathering a substantial force of Undying People in plain sight, as well as earning the trust of the Railroad Guild and the Dark Web... If they coordinated their moves, one in the light and one in the dark, this spelled trouble on a massive scale!
Beixim broke out into a sweat.
"Frankly, there are many ways I can make you talk. You must have heard of our Truth Society's Mutant Technology, right? It's not just about transforming the body but also the mind. Once the transformation is successful, I can pry out any number of secrets from you."
Bai Fu paused and saw a flicker of panic in Beixim's eyes.
"I'll be straight with you, unless absolutely necessary, I don't want to use Transformed People Technology because interrogation that way is slow, and you being in intelligence should know how critical timeliness is in this field.
"Oh, one more thing you might not be aware of, the outside world now thinks you're in cahoots with the Truth Society. You've got no way out. Even if you stay silent, you can't wash off the stigma of being the Truth Society's lackey. Would you rather stubbornly keep your mouth shut, pleasing neither side, and eventually change into a Mutant without any self-awareness? Or would you prefer to cooperate, tell what you know, and opportunistically join the Truth Society to become one of its leaders? It's your call. I'll give you half an hour to consider."
Bai Fu sat down across from Beixim with a smile.
She crossed her legs and began reading a book leisurely.
This relaxed demeanor only made Beixim more anxious. He tried to analyze whether there were any flaws or deceit in Bai Fu's words, but sitting in this closed and dimly lit environment, on top of his severe injuries, he couldn't keep his cool.
After a full ten minutes, Beixim finally spoke.
"If I tell you everything, can I really use that momentum to join the Truth Society and become one of its leaders?"
Bai Fu smirked with contempt, "Carl from the Watcher Camp managed to become one of the Truth Society's leaders by betraying the Watcher Camp. Do you think you, the deputy director of the Old Republic's intelligence department, lack that ability?"
This statement got under Beixim's skin.
Bullshit, how could he be inferior to that Carl!
"I'll talk."
Beixim spilled everything he knew like beans from a bag, including the complete list of the Spiritual Ability Spread Committee, those people and their descendants, where all their supporters were these days.
The forces represented by these individuals had mostly fallen during the Great War and the passage of a century. The remaining ones were now in the Old Republic and with Genetic Primordial.
The situation with the people at Genetic Primordial was unclear, but the remnants in the Old Republic were still secretly studying Mutant Technology, Spiritual Energy use techniques, and various genetic technologies. The release of the virus at Tongshan Camp was part of these plans.
The Old Republic had been pondering whom to experiment on discretely when Platt showed up, seeking support from the Old Republic and consequently betraying the others at Tongshan Camp, cooperating with the Old Republic to use the people of Tongshan Camp as their test subjects, a move that could be described as utterly treacherous.
