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

In the wide, brightly lit room.

A humanoid figure wearing a large white robe with a massive head was angrily glaring at a row of phantoms standing not far away.

"Are you guys brain-dead or something? It's just preaching, such a simple task and you can't do it right, what's the point of keeping you around?"

"There's still a month until the deadline, and you've only completed 36.742% of the task. Damn it... I've given you so much trust, money, power, people; I didn't hold back anything, and this is how you repay my trust?"

"Useless, useless, all fucking useless!"

Spit flew around the room.

The captain of Rajas's seventh missionary team, Nan Dun, was about to explode with anger.

When the Apostle Holy City invaded the Rajas Civilization, he quickly sided with the Apostle Holy City, scoring himself the lucrative position of missionary team captain.

His job was simple: convert all Rajas People in the assigned area into loyal believers of the Apostle Holy City's God.

Though his responsibilities were singular, he wielded significant power, even the Colonial Governor of the area had to cooperate earnestly with him.

To repay the Apostle Holy City's trust, he swore before its bigwigs that he would complete the task in half the time of others.

Yet, a year had passed, and with the deadline looming, he hadn't even completed half the task.

If this got back to those bigwigs, even ten lives wouldn't save him.

He was mistaken, he shouldn't have employed these Rajas People out of kinship.

He offered these fellow tribesmen the utmost leniency, always supporting them, yet they schemed to take his life and slandered him in private.

Oh, birthright!

Nant Dun's fury was explosive, he steeled his heart and decided to resort to final measures.

"I've long told you, if preaching isn't going well, use the Holy Light Bomb. It seems none of you took my words seriously. I'm giving you one last chance, no matter what means you use, you must make up the remaining difference in the next half month!"

His angry roar made the row of phantoms shiver and repeatedly nod in agreement.

"Get out, if you don't complete the task, find a quiet place to end your life, otherwise don't blame me for turning you into Faith Seed!"

Nan Dun ended the remote meeting with his subordinates cursing.

Spit.

He spat dryly.

Just as he intended to go outside for some fresh air, a sharp sting suddenly surged from deep within his mind.

"What's going on?"

As soon as the thought surfaced, he collapsed to the ground with a thud, losing consciousness.

"An Ya."

Bai Fu shouted toward the door.

In the next second, the door automatically opened, and An Ya walked in.

"Boss, leave this to me."

The Punishment Needle went to work, successfully reading Nan Dun's memory within moments.

After reviewing the memories, Bai Fu's mouth twitched: "Well, Ruth still wanted me to save him, saying he was a hero of Rajas, charging the Apostle Holy City with a fleet when Rajas was invaded, and everyone was terrified. Turns out he used the charge as a guise for surrender."

Nan Dun's villainy didn't stop there.

He exhibited most traits typical of a traitor.

After becoming a traitor, he was more ruthless towards his fellow Rajas People than the Apostle Holy City people.

While committing various misdeeds, he would find excuses for himself, calling it 'carrying the weight,' using these reasons to manipulate the Rajas People he recruited to work for him.

He recruited Rajas People not out of kindness, nor to protect them; it was purely because the Apostle Holy City people looked down on him, and he could only command Rajas People.

Yet, compared to Nan Dun's traitorous history, Bai Fu was more concerned with two other matters.

One was that the Apostle Holy City had sent an advanced research team to Rajas Civilization's former Capital Star.

Second was the Apostle Holy City's consistent policy of converting all conquered people into their God's believers, but they were quite wary of using brainwashing methods for this, favoring coercion and subtle change by education instead.

In Nan Dun's memory, he once inquired why his Apostle Holy City superior didn't use Spiritual Energy to instantly turn all Rajas People, only to get berated fiercely.

"Something's fishy, looking at this, Apostle Holy City's forceful conversion isn't just for [conquest], but for a deeper purpose!"

Bai Fu glared at Nan Dun, and with a surge of Spiritual Power, killed him with a glare.

Afterward, she locked Nan Dun's soul into a "Glass Bead" and tossed it into Ghost Night Pure Land.

To ascertain the situation, it's crucial to check out that advanced research team sent by Apostle Holy City, and if lucky, she might acquire some cutting-edge Dark Energy knowledge there.

"Let's go."

Bai Fu, along with An Ya, left the room, not far out when a violent explosion occurred beneath the thousand-meter-high tower they were in.

Soon after, the entire city's sky was blocked by data streams, rendering all network signals impassable.

"Have we been discovered?"

An Ya was startled.

Bai Fu patted her shoulder: "Calm down, they're not after us, they're here to kill Nan Dun."
