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

"Do you have an urgent message for me?" Onandi was taken aback as he saw the stranger, a low-ranking soldier, rushing towards him. "Why didn't he use a communicator to contact me?"

"Because the situation was pressing, Commander Foster only had time to shout out over the broadcast channel."

"Is that so."

Onandi stood up, completely unaware that the unfamiliar soldier had already approached a dangerously close distance to him.

"Then..."

Just as he started to speak, he violently felt a heart-racing power explode within his body; under the impact of this force, his life force began to rapidly drain away, his entire body uncontrollably trembling.

This power... is the Night Mother!

Onandi realized what was happening, but it was all too late.

Those around him fell to the ground, one after the other, turned to ash in an instant, while he himself was grasped by the throat by Cecilia.

The next second, Cecilia pulled out a scroll, which caught fire. The burning scroll enveloped both her and him along with the ashes on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, they along with the ashes disappeared from the spaceship.

A few minutes later, Foster, who had failed in his attempt to kill the Heart Flow Blade and Fei Ye, returned to the spaceship cursing and swearing.

"Let's go, to another location. Where's Onandi? Tell him to come here."

"Commander Foster, we can't find Commander Onandi anywhere on the spaceship!"

"What?"

Foster was shocked and immediately ordered a search throughout the spaceship and reviewed the surveillance footage. However, just a short while ago, the surveillance was disrupted, and when it returned to normal, Onandi, who had been visible on screen, was gone.

Someone took Onandi while he was away, but who?

Foster didn't consider Cecilia as a suspect, even though he found her irritating, he didn't believe she would do such a thing, especially since Cecilia had never done anything to harm the Secret Tower before.

"Find him, use all possible methods to find him! We must locate Onandi!"

His furious roar echoed throughout the spaceship.

Foster was nearly driven mad, for without Onandi, where could he find Bai Fu in such a short time?

...

Cecilia didn't care in the slightest about what Foster thought.

After escaping through the teleportation scroll, she released Onandi's neck and reverted to her original appearance.

"Tell me where Bai Fu is, you should know the consequences of defying my will."

Seeing that his captor was Cecilia, Onandi was almost scared to pee himself; he completely failed to understand what Cecilia wanted, but now he had no choice but to confess truthfully.

Very good.

Cecilia tied Onandi up into a bundle with her web-like silk and then swiftly flew toward Bai Fu's hiding place.

A few minutes later.

Underground space.

Bai Fu was executing escape plans by comparing the game's map, instructing Fei Ye and others on their route when suddenly, a familiar black fog appeared in the room.

Wait!

"Cecilia?"

Bai Fu immediately dashed to Julia's side.

"Don't be nervous," the black fog coalesced into Cecilia, the seductively charming woman said smilingly, "I'm not here to make trouble for you this time but to join you."

"?"

Bai Fu frowned.

Cecilia didn't rush to explain; instead, she first created an opening in the underground space and pulled Onandi, bundled up like a dumpling, inside.

"I brought a Proof of Identity with me when I came to show my sincerity. This is Onandi, a Superpower User from the Secret Tower. Do you know what his superpower is?" Cecilia introduced, "Profile! The name of this ability sounds ordinary, but it can easily lock onto your location. The reason Foster could quickly find that decoy you set up is all thanks to Onandi's Profile ability. I found you using it too, and now I've handed him over to you."

Cecilia tossed Onandi at Bai Fu's feet.

Bai Fu didn't rush to respond to Cecilia; she recognized the man – this Onandi was the one who had previously caused the Superpower Evolution Tree Diagram to react.

At that moment, the Superpower Evolution Tree Diagram had already started scanning both Onandi and Cecilia.

The scanning time for Onandi was 11 minutes, while scanning Cecilia would take 23 hours and 21 minutes; there was no helping it, Cecilia's power was just too strong.

Bai Fu deliberately crouched in front of Onandi, pretending to inspect him, and then she asked, "Why do you want to join me when we were mortal enemies?"

Cecilia suddenly sighed, "After returning from the Tidal Star System, I was locked in solitary confinement for several consecutive mission failures. During that time of confinement, I seriously reflected on what you said to me that day. You were right, I was jealous of you. I clearly possess beauty not inferior to yours, and my power is no less than yours, yet I could only hide in the Secret Tower, scorned as a monster, while you, with the title of Savior Saintess, can endorse products, appear on television, and receive the praise and adoration of countless people."

Here she paused for a long moment, as if to gather her emotions.

"I'm sorry, it was because of such shallow thoughts that I was jealous of you, jealous enough to want to kill you. Actually... More than once, I thought how good it would be if I could be like you, or stand beside you like Fei Ye, but until the day you exposed the real me, I never dared to face those thoughts. It was that day that your achievements encouraged me, allowing me to dare to analyze my true self. I do have a future as long as I can face my own heart; I can walk out of my past."

"So, after coming to this realization, you decided to join me?"

"Yes," Cecilia nodded vigorously, her face showing a humble longing, "I could have just fled the Secret Tower, escape to a place where no one knows me and start over, but in the end, I decided to come to your side. You awakened me; I want to repay you, and furthermore, furthermore..."
