There was no need to force a confrontation here; she could simply wait for support forces like the Railroad Guild to arrive before striking back.
Wandering through the pitch-dark corridor, Bai Fu made her way towards the light point on the map that represented Little Black Fu. Her high agility and the [Moon Conceal] ability, which reduced the noise of her movents, allowed her to move through the night like a fish in water.
Halfway there, she suddenly received a ssage from Su Li.
[Three ssages, all good news. Which do you want to hear first?]
Bai Fu sent back an angry emoticon.
Su Li: [Alright, alright, I won't keep you in suspense. First of all, the first batch of reinforcents will soon arrive at the Truth Society's main base.]
Bai Fu: [That fast? Can you instant teleport?]
Su Li: [It's just a special ops team. When they received the order, they happened to be only a few hundred kiloters away from your location. They set off an hour ago and should be here to support you in about half an hour.]
Bai Fu: [That is indeed good news. What about the other two pieces of good news?]
Su Li: [The four nations have reached an agreent. A central command has been established and they have launched an encirclent and suppression campaign against the Truth Society's main force. If all goes well, it shouldn't be long before you hear news of the Truth Society's main force suffering heavy damage.]
Bai Fu's mouth twitched slightly. It was good news to Su Li, but not necessarily to her. If the Truth Society's main force were defeated, the Truth Society Chairman might return.
Su Li: [The last piece of good news is about the person you asked to investigate. I've found out who he is. I really admire you for this; the man lived more than a hundred years ago. Luckily he had been reported in the newspapers, otherwise it would have been impossible to trace him. I've sent you the information; take a look at it when you have ti.]
Bai Fu only gave it a quick glance.
The man in the photo, with his unremarkable looks, had an extraordinary identity and an extraordinary end.
He had been an accidental hero, not particularly capable, having given a few interviews, and then one day, he disappeared.
After that, apart from the newspapers issued by the press that interviewed him, there was no trace left of him in the world.
In a world like this, where countless beings exist, who can know anyone's end?
Bai Fu opened the task interface and clicked on the [Origin of the Truth Society] to submit the task.
[You have completed the task [Origin of the Truth Society]. Reward: 300,000 Experience Value, Ancestral Origin Star plot Exploration Degree 1.5%.]
[Hidden requirent achieved: Completion of mory Fragnt from the chaos at branch No. 1 of the Spiritual Ability Research Institute by mutants, gain an additional 300,000 Experience Value, Blank mory Fragnt*1 (can be used on the Camp interface).]
[A new task will trigger depending on your choice when facing the Truth Society Chairman.]
"Just as expected."
Bai Fu shook her head in resignation.
The person in the mory Fragnt was the forr Truth Society Chairman.
A task that added 1.5 to the Exploration Degree and gave a Blank mory Fragnt was indeed a delightful reward. However, the better the reward, the more she dreaded the Truth Society Chairman.
Bai Fu closed the ga interface and encountered several obstructions while searching for Julia, including huge fireballs from explosions and annoying gravity manipulation. Fortunately, she was a notch above and managed to circumvent all the obstacles to find Julia.
"Where's the avatar you summoned?"
As Little Julia often stayed by Bai Fu's side, Julia was well aware of the relationship between Bai Fu and Black Fu.
"Still buying ti. Thanks to her, let's get out of here as quickly as possible."
Bai Fu decisively picked up Julia again and made a beeline for the exterior of the base.
With areas C and A being largely demolished, she didn't need to specifically search for a route. She just needed to head straight up and out.
...
"Report, Minister, we have discovered traces of another Bai Fu!"
Bai Fu and Black Fu had caused chaos in the base for most of the day, and by now, the Truth Society had almost figured out the situation. The invaders who had infiltrated the base weren't many, just two Bai Fus, with everyone else being "people" that had been summoned by them.
"Try to stop her for ten minutes!"
Bernardo was furious, his chest heaving violently. It took several seconds before he issued the second command.
"Everyone prepare, start gathering at the secret tunnels."
Despite the prolonged battle, they still couldn't subdue the dark-haired Bai Fu. It was going to be difficult to eliminate these two Bai Fus in the short term. He couldn't be sure when the main force of reinforcents on Bai Fu's side would return. So, it might really be ti to prepare to blow up the base, letting Bai Fu bury it with her.
After ending the call, Bernardo stared at the photo on the wall for a long ti before leaving the office with so special docunts.
His fingers tapped incessantly on the terminal, given the gravity of the situation, he had to inform the Chairman. If the Chairman learned about the events in the base from sources like the Genetic Primordial or the Railroad Guild first, it could have a severe impact on morale.
Bernardo composed and sent out a long text ssage. Now all he had to do was wait for the Chairman's response before he could blow up the main base.
As he waited, the Chairman only replied with a few words after five minutes.
[Wait for my return]
"What?"
Bernardo was stunned by these few words.
This wasn't the kind of response he should be getting at this ti; a sense of foreboding suddenly arose within him.
anwhile, in a small base 70 kiloters from the Sea Capital, the capital of Genetic Primordial, the face of the Truth Society Chairman who had arrived with the main force half an hour ago was more unsightly than ever.
"Unexpected indeed. There's been much speculation about your identity. So thought you were a Martial Arts prodigy who hadn't erged in society, others suspected you were a general who had defected from the Old Republic, but nobody guessed you were one of the escapees from the Spiritual Ability Research Institute."
In a living room with a touch of classical charm, a man smiled and narrowed his eyes.
If Bai Fu or any players were here, they would recognize him instantly as one of the five cover characters from the version 1.2 update preview page for Ancestral Origin Star.
The Truth Society Chairman roared and charged forward.
