When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 327 - 134 Harvest time, the era of Bai Fu has arrived! 【10000/10000 Monthly Tickets】_2
During this process, the Chairman of the Truth Society received a commission from a group of people, asking him to help them find their missing family members.
The gears of history began to turn at that moment.
"So, you went to investigate Spiritual Ability Research Institute Branch One to save those people, and you didn't expect that Branch One had such a compelling background. In the end, you fell into their trap and became one of their experiments?"
The Chairman of the Truth Society nodded his head with difficulty and continued to recount the past.
In the lab, he endured countless tortures and several brainwashing sessions, but he survived them all. He never forgot the reason he had come to the lab.
He found the people he was supposed to save, conveyed to them the expectations of their families, and then, he made a pact with them.
"We must survive and leave this hellish place!"
The Chairman of the Truth Society waited and waited, for a year, during which he watched helplessly as many of those who had made the pact with him perished.
He was angry, in pain, but it was futile. He could only suppress all his emotions, lest he be discovered.
After a year, the chance finally came.
That day, a member of the Spiritual Ability Spread Committee, out of self-interest, arranged for the assassination of the Alien Visitor, which led to intense conflicts between the major nations. As a result, many people from the institute were reassigned elsewhere, leaving the research facility unusually vacant.
He seized this opportunity, intending to lead all the innocent experiments out of the institute.
But he still underestimated the institute's security level. At that time, he was not like Bai Fu, who had help when she went to clear instances.
"No one could save me. I could only save myself, that's what I told myself, but..."
The Chairman of the Truth Society was mistaken.
When he was surrounded, those he had sought to save sacrificed themselves to give him freedom.
When he breathed the air outside the institute after a year, he felt a heart-wrenching pain.
He went to rescue people!
But what had he actually saved?
He remembered those ordinary faces, those ordinary people who thanked him while using their bodies to hold off the institute's security personnel, telling him to hurry and leave. He didn't know how to face those who had commissioned him.
"I didn't bring anything back; I only brought back hatred."
The Chairman of the Truth Society's breathing became more and more rapid.
After that day, he mustered the courage to meet the commissioners. He went to apologize, but no one blamed him. They were grateful to him and followed him. From that point on, they established the beginnings of the Truth Society.
The Truth Society never pursued the truth, only justice.
They struggled mightily, never thinking they would see the dawn again, yet one day the nations suddenly came into conflict, and then the Great Cataclysm arrived. The whole world exploded with cataclysm, and atop the wasteland, the Truth Society saw for the first time the possibility of obtaining justice.
"I investigated everywhere. Everyone said the Alien Visitor was dead, but I could feel that he was hiding in the Genetic Primordial. All of us original mutants were modified using his cells."
"I never expected to rely on the power of other nations to avenge those who sent us to hell. They've always been in it together, and I had no evidence beyond my senses to prove the Alien Visitor was not dead."
"I developed the Truth Society step by step, taking in many who had been persecuted by those nations. I attacked the Genetic Primordial many times, all to find concrete evidence that the Alien Visitor was still alive."
"You must be very curious about why Li Cheng from the Genetic Primordial decided to join the Truth Society, right? He saw my memories, and then his beliefs collapsed. That was when I seized the opportunity to step in."
Bai Fu nodded. Now many mysteries were solved, and she received the new game prompt she had been hoping for.
[Ancestral Origin Star Plot Exploration Degree +1.3%]
As she continues on her path to becoming the sole main character of Ancestral Origin Star, the Chairman of the Truth Society made a new contribution.
"It's a moving story, but the only problem is that your quest for revenge has involved too many innocents."
Just then, Julia limped in.
"That's why I'm lying here now. This is the retribution for my madness, isn't it?"
The Chairman of the Truth Society closed his eyes, having spoken so much that his consciousness was already starting to blur.
He was truly tired. Pouring out his story did nothing to ease the emptiness inside him; perhaps only death could fill the void in his heart.
Bai Fu looked at the two options that popped up before her, which were the follow-up to the task "Truth Society's Origin".
The first option was to kill the Truth Society Chairman directly, the second was to help the Truth Society Chairman fulfill his last wish—to take down that Alien Visitor.
Of course, she chose the second option. The rewards for the second option were clearly higher, and she had long wanted to take on the Genetic Primordial.
"You go in peace; I will send those from the Genetic Primordial down to meet you."
The Truth Society Chairman suddenly opened his eyes wide, staring at Bai Fu for a long time, as if trying to etch Bai Fu's features deeply into his soul.
"You... It seems I was mistaken, you are not my nemesis, but... the savior..."
Although late, still the savior.
A void in his heart suddenly got filled; he no longer dwelled on whether he was an Artificial Human with someone else's memories or that "he" himself.
As consciousness drifted away, he couldn't help but wonder, what if Bai Fu had suddenly appeared in the Research Institute the day he planned to escape with his people.
He closed his eyes again, as if returning to his ungrown days.
Truly, up to now, he had never again had a meal as delicious as the one he bought with his first sponsorship, nor had he seen stars as dazzling as those of that night.
At this moment, a sincere smile appeared on his face.
...
The Truth Society Chairman was dead.
He lay alone on the ground, his appearance in death mundane, like someone who had never left a mark on history.
Yet he could not really be said to be lonely, for Bernardo and the other Truth Society Superpower Users who always followed him had come.
They did not fight Bai Fu, nor did they blame her.
They wiped the blood from the Chairman's face, and then, the first person took out a potion from their clothes and drank it in one gulp. It was a strong poison, and under its effect, he quickly died beside the Chairman.
After him, every Superpower User, except Bernardo, made a similar move.
Thump, thump—
One by one, the Superpower Users who had long been dreaded by the major forces fell like wheat being cut down.
They died resolutely, leaving no dignity for themselves, and their deaths stirred all who witnessed the scene.
"They are like me, descendants of those who initially entrusted and followed the Chairman. We got this far all thanks to the Chairman's support; he bore too much which he should not have had to."
"They chose death because they would rather die than be captured by the successors of those old enemies."
"I must survive; I need to collect their bodies. I also must live to see the day the Genetic Primordial collapses with my own eyes, no matter the humiliation I endure; I must live until that moment."
Bernardo closed the eyes of each of his companions.
When Coleman and the others arrived, he calmly extended his hands, allowing Coleman and his people to shackle him.
"You've won, but not by your own power."
Bernardo smiled, causing Coleman and the others to seethe with anger, their foreheads bulging veins as they punched him twice, but he still kept smiling.
Amidst his laughter, news of the Truth Society Chairman's death and the Truth Society's Demise swept through Ancestral Origin Star like a tornado.
Bai Fu had no interest in understanding others' cheers.
She did not know whether this was the end of an era as those people had said in the terminal; she only knew that the era belonging to her on Ancestral Origin Star had arrived.
She opened the game's prompt panel, and the information for the settlement flowed out like water.
