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

They had thought they were as good as dead, who would have guessed such a great opportunity to escape would present itself? What were they waiting for?

They carefully inched their way over to the players guarding them, seizing the opportunity to snatch the Identity Verification Card from the players when they weren't looking. After using the card to unlock the Strong Magnetic Chains on their hands and feet, they laughed uproariously as they knocked the players to the ground.

Ha ha, the tables had turned!

"Spill it, where are the ship's fighters or escape pods hidden? Speak up, or I'll snap your neck right now."

The overwhelmed player replied in a "panic", "I'll talk, I'll talk! The fighters and escape pods are all at the rear end of the spaceship. There are three electronic gates on the way there. You'll need me if you want to get through, so please, don't kill me."

The pirates who had successfully broken free of their restraints exchanged looks and decided to take a chance.

They hoisted up the player and raced towards the rear of the spaceship.

En route, they encountered "dangers" several times, but in the end, they were "lucky" enough to turn the tables each time. When boarding the fighters, they even managed to snatch two more players.

Originally, they had been intent on killing all these players, but upon hearing one of the players begging for mercy, they immediately realized that capturing was better than killing.

They'd interrogate the captives to find out the identities of those who had attacked them, to better prepare for future encounters!

"Move it, we'll be stuck here if we don't go now!"

The fighter fired up its engines and as the spaceship doors opened, it burst out like a falcon and disappeared from the vision of those on board the spaceship within seconds.

"We've escaped, ha ha, we made it out alive!"

"I never expected this, I thought I was a goner several times. It seems I really do have some kind of destiny."

"This luck is unbeatable, ha ha, I'm gonna have a blast at the casino when we get back."

The pirates laughed and cursed within the fighter, completely unaware that the players they had captured were also celebrating wildly.

[Ha ha, we made it, we did it!]

[Dig for treasure, quick, share our location with Fufu.]

The players didn't even need to rush the Digging Girl; she had already pinpointed their location on the Star Map.

Bai Fu smiled and nodded her head.

Excellent, with this, her plan was already half-successful.

Run?

"Follow them!"

...

Meanwhile, in the mining ship of the Trolla Pirate Group, the captain named Trolla was fawning over the green-skinned weirdo sitting opposite him.

"Mr. Sean, rest assured, I've already dispatched people to search for the Ulyssians everywhere. We will definitely complete the task assigned to us this month."

The aforementioned Sean frowned slightly, nodding his head gently, "You'd better. You should be well aware of the punishment for failing to complete the Task."

"Yes, yes."

Trolla kept a smile plastered on his face, not daring to retort or complain in the slightest.

Just then, his communicator suddenly rang.

"Number Two? What's going on... What?!"

After hearing what his second-in-command, his Number Two, had to say, Trolla's complexion changed dramatically.

"What's happened?" Sean asked casually.

Trolla recounted the story of how his deputy and the rest had been ambushed, arrested by unknown assailants, and ultimately, how they had cleverly and bravely escaped, bringing back three hostages in the process.

While explaining, he also reassured Sean, "Mr. Sean, don't worry. I will retrieve those Ulyssians as quickly as possible to ensure no disruption to the plans from above!"

Sean rose to his feet, twisting his thick neck, "Interesting, your men did not do poorly. I'll personally interrogate the prisoners they brought back. I might have ignored this affair had I not come upon it, but now that I have, I can't turn a blind eye. It's been a while since I've been personally involved. I'm in a good mood today; once I've interrogated those prisoners, I'll go help you snatch those Ulyssians back myself."

Trolla was thrown into a frenzy of joy at this authoritative statement.

Sean was going to take action personally?

You should know that Sean was an S-class superpower user. Now that Sean had taken action, all problems would be resolved with ease.

"I'll go fetch the second in command."

Trolla quickly rushed out of the cabin, and a few minutes later, he appeared before Sean with the players and a few NPCs who had escaped from the spaceship.

"Fess up your identities," the second in command scornfully glanced at the players. "Just spill the beans, and I'll spare your lives."

The players looked around: "Are all your top guys here?"

The second in command frowned slightly, "What do you mean? Do you think my word isn't good enough? Let me tell you straight, I am the second in command of the Trolla Pirate Group, this is our boss Trolla, and this is... our esteemed guest, Mr. Sean. Don't be ungrateful!"

A player spoke up, "Confess, confess right away. Come on, let me show you something nice."

Sean subconsciously leaned in closer, and at that moment, two fists the size of sandbags appeared out of thin air. One of them, with a thunderous, explosive speed, smashed heavily into his nose bridge.

Crack!

The nose bridge shattered instantly and, accompanying the collapse of his nose, Sean's cheeks also caved in. The tremendous force sent him flying backwards, crashing through a dozen walls. Mid-air, blood sprayed like a small fountain.

The other fist, like a pounding hammer, fell from the sky and crushed down on Trolla's skull, shattering not only his skull but also his frail legs. Trolla fell to the ground, his legs limp as noodles, as he continuously coughed up blood.

These two scenes seemed drawn out but happened in a flash. By the time those around them reacted, they were horrified to discover two four-meter-tall "giants" had appeared in the room.

But this was just the beginning.

As the players continuously used the Prayer Cards Bai Fu had given them beforehand, entities such as Gunners, Judges, Priests, Little Black Fus, and Illusionary Law Balls - all sorts of True Spirit Summoned Matters - kept popping up in the room.

"Seeking death!"

A roar filled with extreme fury came from where Sean had fallen. He surged with energy, charging back like a cannonball, aiming for the bound players. However, halfway there, he noticed the room was suddenly filled with a bunch of unfamiliar things.

This was...

A Big Black Fu had nearly killed him with one punch, and now there was another Big Black Fu along with a multitude of "minions." He wasn't going to fight this.

He thought to brake and run, but it was all too late.

Bang!

The fist of Big Black Fu struck his eye socket again.

"Beat him to within an inch of his life!"

At Bai Fu's command, her Spiritual Ability Army charged towards Sean like mad.

Among them, the Illusionary Law Ball was particularly ruthless. Black beams, like forty-meter-long swords, cut through the room, severing the limbs of anyone they touched.

This scene terrified the rest of the Trolla Pirate Group.

At this point, they had no interest in the incapacitated Trolla or Sean, who was being pummeled and thrown around like a monkey. The group began to panic and ran for the exits.

In no time, the entire mining ship descended into chaos.

The freed players quickly rushed forward to hold Trolla down, to prevent anyone from rescuing him.

Seeing the others starting to escape, Sean, now surrounded and in a state of desperate panic, lost all his previous arrogance. After several failed attempts to escape, he cried out loudly, "Stop, stop, stop, do you know who I am? You could still be forgiven if you stop now, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what? Since when did Sea Lion Star System become a place for you Secret Tower People to strut around?"

A voice interrupted Sean.

Sean violently turned his head, his pupils shaking. He had not even a chance to clearly see the face of the woman who suddenly appeared in a black suit before he found her, as if by instant teleportation, right in front of him.

An invisible power struck from all sides, paralyzing him. He could only watch helplessly as the woman lifted her right leg high and, like a long whip, heavily struck the top of his head.

Bang!

Sean fell headfirst to the ground, his head directly piercing through the floor of the cabin. Then, he felt a high heel land on the back of his head.

"Spill it. What is the Secret Tower researching Dissociative Potions for? Come clean, and I might just spare your life."

Bai Fu casually twisted her heel.

It was a mere feint, but judging from Sean's reaction, she hadn't guessed wrong — Sean indeed came from Secret Tower.
