When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village

After hearing this, Bai Fu suddenly realized.

No wonder the Secret Tower had always wanted the True Spirit Pillar; they planned to use the power of the Void Realm Envoy.

In the original plot, the True Spirit Pillar on Julia's body likely ended up in the Secret Tower's hands in the end, thereby triggering a greater disaster and giving the Players a chance to showcase themselves.

Isaac continued,

"The Secret Tower has a rather special relationship with the Dark Domain Insect Clan Empress. The Housekeeper does not approve of the cooperation between the Secret Tower and the Dark Domain Insect Clan. This cooperation was strongly advocated by the Secret Tower Master, so we are not very clear about the specifics, only that the Secret Tower Master and the Dark Domain Insect Clan Empress jointly developed a type of special Parasite."

"Right, there's another very important piece of information. Under the guidance of the Dark Domain Insect Clan Empress, the Secret Tower produced an item called 'Cooling Insect Nest,' which you must have seen on Golden Valley Star. The 'Cooling Insect Nest' is used to unleash the Flood Disaster, and the factory that manufactures 'Cooling Insect Nest' is on Aurora Star. If we don't timely eradicate that base, when the Secret Tower launches a desperate strike, it might stir up quite a storm."

"This intelligence is extremely important."

The Alliance Fleet was overjoyed and quickly convened a meeting to devise the next step of the plan.

The importance of this factory was self-evident.

Knowing that they were going to attack the factory, the Secret Tower would definitely not sit idly by. Could this be a good opportunity to surround them and strike at reinforcements?

Bai Fu thought deeper because this was the second time she heard the name Aurora Star.

The Secret Tower had only recently sent a large number of Players to Aurora Star, which means they had not forgotten about this very important planet to them.

Since they hadn't forgotten, why didn't they evacuate the people and things from Aurora Star but instead sent Players there ceremoniously?

There's a problem, and a big one at that!

Bai Fu took a deep look at Isaac.

Aurora Star might be a trap laid by the Secret Tower, just waiting for them to jump in.

However, something to note was that the Alliance had sent an enormous number of spaceships this time and even invited many powerfully skilled Superpower Users. Could the Secret Tower really inflict heavy damage on the Alliance at this Aurora Star trap, or might they be ambushed instead?

With the current situation of the Secret Tower, it seems unlikely they would take such a gamble.

Was it possible that Aurora Star was a decoy, and the Secret Tower's real goal lay elsewhere?

Bai Fu was uncertain, so she called Cecilia over to hear what she had to say, having been with the Secret Tower for a long time.

"The Housekeeper sent tens of thousands of Undying People to Aurora Star, but given the current situation, those tens of thousands of Undying People can't possibly change the dire circumstances on Aurora Star. Based on my understanding of the Housekeeper, he wouldn't do something meaningless. Therefore, his sending tens of thousands of Undying People to Aurora Star definitely has another purpose."

Bai Fu trusted Cecilia.

While the fleet was en route to Aurora Star, she also secretly contacted Manu and Mitchell, warning them that there was something wrong with this operation.

But it was only after they truly commenced with the action that Bai Fu realized capturing the factory was much easier than she had imagined.

During this operation, the Alliance Fleet also successfully rescued tens of thousands of Players previously captured by the Secret Tower.

"Could all this be a little too smooth?"

Bai Fu quickly called Cipris out to help kill the parasites for these Players and also personally used the Spiritual Vision Skill to inspect these Players' data panels.

And this inspection truly revealed problems.

"Every Undying Person has a Parasite on them, and about one-quarter of the Undying People have something called 'Mother Empress Beacon.'"

"Mother Empress Beacon?" Cecilia's expression turned serious, "During the Heavenly Lake Star war, I used one that suddenly appeared beside one of the Brain Worms."

Bai Fu's eyes lit up, "So, you mean it's something like a teleportation portal?"

Cecilia nodded, "Pretty much."

So that's it!

Bai Fu understood everything in an instant.

The Secret Tower intentionally sacrificed the Aurora Star Factory to send these Players back, probably aiming for three purposes.

The first purpose, they hoped that these Parasite-infected Players would infect as many other Players as possible.

But this goal was not easy to achieve; the Secret Tower also knew that Cipris was with her now, and once Cipris discovered the Players were infected with Parasites, the Parasites would definitely be killed immediately by Cipris.

So the Secret Tower's main goal must be the next two.

The second purpose, in the eyes of the Secret Tower, these Players had all been brainwashed, and they probably wanted to use these Players to do a lot of things for them, such as gather intelligence or carry out assassinations.

The third purpose, the Secret Tower treated these Players as mobile teleportation portals; at critical moments, they could suddenly emerge through these "portals."

"What a pity, the Secret Tower could never dream that Players cannot be brainwashed. The brainwashing only manifests as an inability to change Camps independently. They also couldn't imagine that my Spiritual Vision Skill Level is very high, enabling me to easily see the beacons they left on the Players!"

Would the Dark Domain Insect Clan Empress suddenly come through the teleportation portal?

Bai Fu smiled.

It was time for the Secret Tower to witness the true terror of the Players and the NPCs who have Players!
