When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 345 - 139 plot decryption, the true identity of the popular idol Bai Fu
After handing over the task to the members of the Railroad Guild, Bai Fu led the players back to Bai Fu Town.
She was now busy with many things and had no time to chat with the people from the Railroad Guild.
"Sister Bai Fu, I have brought the people, and I have checked the file bag; the seal is intact and hasn't been tampered with by anyone."
Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi gave a signal, and the few players following him immediately stepped forward and handed a file bag to Bai Fu.
"Thank you for your trouble."
Bai Fu smiled at the players who delivered the file bag, had little Black Fu serve them each a glass of water in the house, then opened the file bag and took out the documents inside.
[Spiritual Ability Research Institute Branch Three- File 001]
[Record Date: 1791 (Note: Catastrophe Era -3 years)]
[Recorder: Simon Skyodino (Note: a well-known mysticism researcher before the Catastrophe Era)]
[This file records the research progress of Branch Three of the Spiritual Ability Spread Committee's Spiritual Ability Research Institute, which is responsible for studying the peculiar power of Spiritual Ability and strives for the Spiritual Ability Ascension of all mankind (Note: The slogan is loud, but in reality, it is just nonsense)]
Bai Fu: "?"
Who wrote this note, it's quite aggressive, isn't it?
She continued to flip through, and just like the first page, this file documented all the experimental projects that Branch Three had conducted in studying Spiritual Ability. Since this file was just a summary, many experimental projects were known only by their names without clear details, but from those with brief descriptions, it was evident that Branch Three committed many unethical actions, similar to those of Branch One.
"This file essentially confirms that the initial Spiritual Ability knowledge on Ancestral Origin Star was brought by that Alien Old Man, but..."
Bai Fu's expression sharpened.
The most important thing in this file wasn't these experimental records but rather the additional content recorded at the end. This content outlined the general course from when the Alien Old Man was assassinated, to mutual suspicions among the committee's member countries, to the outbreak of war, and finally, to the occurrence of the Great Catastrophe.
"Because everything happened suddenly, and the world quickly collapsed due to the Great Catastrophe, no one has known until now who sent the assassin to kill the Alien Old Man."
"The Great Catastrophe began with the Obsidian researched by Branch Two, which harbored a terrifying power. Due to mishandling, the unrestrained power inside the Obsidian eventually engulfed the entire world like a tide."
Bai Fu flipped to the final note.
[Note: Everyone thought the Alien Visitor had died in the assassination, but he didn't. He has been hiding in the Genetic Primordial, why was he in the Genetic Primordial, and how could he have a significant influence there? Supposedly transformed into a Soul Body, he shouldn't have any ability to remotely control the high ranks of the Genetic Primordial. The more I investigate, the more I feel something is not right.]
[The Genetic Primordial originated from the White Tower Republic, and after the war, some surviving scientists and military personnel from the White Tower Republic formed the Genetic Primordial, which from the start was preparing for the resurrection of that Alien Visitor. Surely they must have made some unseen agreements.]
[I thoroughly investigated the news before and after the assassination event, a very challenging process; I could only reconstruct the truth through fragments, and this is the truth I believe—]
[The spaceship carrying the Alien Visitor initially landed within the territory of the White Tower Republic. For the White Tower Republic, this should have been an enormous opportunity; however, various powerful nations forcefully intervened, initiating a joint research for the benefit of all humanity, which greatly dissatisfied the White Tower Republic. The Alien Visitor, too, was not willing to be controlled by these nations, so the two parties secretly made a pact; the White Tower Republic arranged for the assassination of the Alien Visitor, and everyone thought the Alien Visitor died, but in reality, he had merely transformed into a Soul Body and was secretly taken away by the White Tower Republic.]
[The White Tower Republic and the Alien Visitor must have been very pleased at the time, but soon things spiraled out of their control, war broke out, and the war indirectly led to the Great Catastrophe, nearly destroying the entire world.]
[Is this really the truth?]
After reading the last sentence, Bai Fu received a game notification.
[You have completed the Exploration Task [Spiritual Ability Source], received a reward of 30,000 Experience Points, Ancestral Origin Star Story Exploration Degree +1.7%, Memory Fragment *1]
The experience reward for this task could only be described as pitiful, but the exploration degree was a significant 1.7%, and it included a Memory Fragment.
Bai Fu selected the Memory Fragment to view more details.
[Memory Fragment - The Night of the Radical Change on Ancestral Origin Star]
[Introduction to Memories]: Years later, when the people of Ancestral Origin Star stand on the wastelands, looking back at the beautiful world before the Great Catastrophe, they will discover that everything changed because of what initially appeared to be an ordinary night.
[Level Restriction]: Lv30 and above
"Hmm?"
Bai Fu slightly raised her eyebrows.
It must be said, this Memory Fragment's timing was quite opportune.
Typical NPCs indeed have a hard time uncovering the truth about past events, but as a special NPC, she was different.
Last time, she had clarified the identity of the Truth Society Chairman through a Memory Fragment; this time, she figured she could also glean some revelations from this Memory Fragment.
"You did a good job."
Bai Fu once again praised the players who had helped Xia Shi deliver the files and even assigned them a task that would let them earn experience rewards just for taking a simple walk.
"Next, do you plan to return to the Genetic Primordial, or will you directly join the Silent Court?"
