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

"Again?"

Dark Domain, Darren Star, as night fell, Ernst, the new owner of the planet's most renowned prosthetic company, looked up with a worried expression.

In the distant sky, suddenly there appeared several points of light streaking across like shooting stars.

He knew very well that they were not meteors, for he had witnessed a similar scene a few months ago.

Those were spaceships!

Yes, those were cosmic spaceships that, in their prior understanding, existed only in fantasy works!

The first time he saw that giant cold-silver spaceship breaking through the clouds and appearing under the bloody sunset, Ernst, like everyone around him, thought it was either a mirage or some other natural spectacle.

Not until the spaceship landed on the surface and a slim white-haired girl in an advanced combat suit stepped out from the opened hatch with brisk steps did he suddenly realize that the world was about to change.

"Could something happen to Darren Star?"

Ernst quickly contacted a good friend who held a position within the newly formed United Government to ask about the situation.

"You guessed right, those are indeed spaceships, seventeen of them. Just now, the aliens on the spaceships made contact with us, claiming to be the Imperial Guard from the Tem Civilization, tasked with capturing the assassin of their Leader."

Ernst's face changed: "Could the rioter they are talking about be that woman who arrived at Darren Star a few months ago?"

His friend shook his head, his eyes full of anger: "I'm not sure, these people are just too audacious. The Foreign Affairs Officer hesitated only for a few seconds and was forcefully taken aboard their spaceship. Carter tried to rescue the officer but was instantly turned into mincemeat by some unknown energy."

"This."

Ernst wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.

What was the point of saying anything when facing these opponents whose power was beyond his imagination?

Both people on the phone fell into a long silence.

They were perplexed about the future. Maybe today was their last day; they might have no future anymore.

"Ah, take care, I'm going to..."

"Who?"

His friend was just about to hang up, but suddenly he heard Ernst scream; his face turned pale instantly.

"What happened, Ernst?"

"Is is is..."

Ernst's eyes widened, staring intently at the person who suddenly appeared on the rooftop.

He stammered for a long time without being able to utter a name, but his friend already knew who he had seen because a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"You just mentioned the Tem Civilization, right?"

It was her!

It was that woman who had appeared on Darren Star a few months ago, claiming her name was Bai Fu, and who was on very good terms with the Undying People!

Bai Fu looked at Ernst with a puzzled face.

She had been taking a stroll nearby when she suddenly saw over a dozen spaceships streak across the sky, so she immediately rushed over to Ernst's place to gather information, and unexpectedly she overheard a familiar name.

Why had the Tem Civilization's fleet left the Edge World to come to Darren Star?

"This is the situation..."

Ernst wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly explained.

"Assassinate the Leader? Capture the assassin?"

Bai Fu was stunned; she had thought this fleet was sent by Frank to deal with her, but the reality was much more explosive than she had imagined.

The Leader of the Tem Civilization was a widely respected figure throughout the entire Edge World; only a truly ruthless person could dare to attempt assassination and not get caught on the spot.

"Interesting."

Bai Fu had been wondering how the officials would let players from each Newbie Planet connect to the Star Sea after the 2.0 version started; sending a batch of spaceships or portals directly via Mechanical Descent would have seemed too contrived.

Now she understood.

It was this plot!

To capture the assassin, the Tem Civilization would surely dispatch a large number of ships for the search, and it was highly likely that many Bounty Hunters had entered the Dark Domain as well.

Their activity would expose the Newbie Planets where the players resided, and then, players could ride this wind into the Starry Sky.

Of course, that was the original setting. Now that Bai Fu was here, what did the Tem Civilization matter?

Shoo, shoo, go find someone else and don't interfere with my extraction of Players!

"There are no assassins here; I know better than anyone. I'll go and persuade them to leave."

Bai Fu volunteered herself to tackle the crisis.

Ernst looked at Bai Fu, astonished.

Could it really work?

...

At the same time.

Inside the spaceship of the Tem Civilization.

The Fleet Commander, with his arms crossed, looked indifferently at the extremely backward city beneath him.

"How's the interrogation going?"

The Deputy Officer stepped forward: "Commander Roman, the Foreign Affairs Officer confessed; a spaceship suddenly landed here a few months ago."

"Oh?" A rigid smile appeared on Roman's zombie-like face, "It seems we've found our target. Notify the natives below to hand over the assassin, or we'll flatten the entire city!"

"Yes, sir!"

Soon, everyone on the ground heard the Deputy Officer's shout.

To prove they truly had the capability to easily destroy a city, the Deputy Officer ordered the gunner to fire at the tallest broadcast signal tower on the ground.

A deep blue beam of light streaked across the night sky; before the people on the ground could understand what had happened, when they came to their senses, the top half of the broadcast signal tower had vanished, leaving a horrific sight of molten red at the break.
