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

Sean was frantically denying that he came from the Secret Tower, but Elon simply ignored his words.

"In front of us, it's not so easy to bluff your way through. I want to see if the Secret Tower truly has the capability to completely block my Spiritual Ability Hypnosis Technique!"

Elon turned his head, looking at Suixi.

Suixi stepped forward and crouched down in front of Sean, then she took out a blue hexahedral crystal from her chest.

The hexahedral crystal floated into mid-air, emitting a majestic spiritual energy aura that made one feel as though they had fallen into a void realm, unconsciously relaxing both body and mind.

"What is that thing?"

Bai Fu was taken aback and hurriedly threw a Spiritual Vision at the hexahedral crystal. The panel that popped up showed it was a piece of special equipment infused with both spiritual energy and spiritual ability, possessing strong hypnotic powers.

"You..."

Sean instinctively sensed danger, but as the light emitted from the hexahedral crystal enveloped his body, he was no longer able to escape.

As Suixi sang a melodious song in an unknown language, the song reaching his ears, Sean felt his body becoming lighter and lighter. In the end, his body relaxed, his eyes turned pure white, having completely succumbed to Suixi's singing.

"Ask away."

Suixi stood up, stuffing the hexahedral crystal back into the gap in her chest, then casually walked to a corner.

Elon immediately asked the questions he wanted to know.

First, whether Shattered Star had truly joined the Secret Tower.

Second, whether the Secret Tower was also collecting True Spirit Pillars.

To the first question, Sean's answer was that he didn't know. People joined the Secret Tower every day, and he was just a patrolman, unable to access information about personnel matters. Maybe Shattered Star had joined the Secret Tower, or maybe not. His task was only to supervise the Trolla Pirate Group.

The answer to the second question was somewhat surprising. Sean first said he didn't know what a True Spirit Pillar was, but after Elon had described in detail the appearance and characteristics of the True Spirit Pillar, Sean immediately said he had seen something similar in the Secret Tower.

This excited Elon.

The Secret Tower had a True Spirit Pillar?

Ha ha, this meant his guess was completely right!

A hundred years, it had been a hundred years since the True Spirit Pillar had last appeared. They had finally found the True Spirit Pillar again. If they could snatch the True Spirit Pillar from the Secret Tower, they could try to communicate with the Angel Envoy in the Supreme Heavenly Void Realm, and if they could get a response from the Angel Envoy...

Elon dared not think further, afraid of getting his hopes up for nothing.

It was thanks to Shattered Star's complacency this time. Thinking that by siding with the Secret Tower he could recklessly seek revenge, he deliberately revealed his location to Stone Crystal Company. Otherwise, how would Elon have known that Shattered Star had returned?

Elon calmed his excited heart and immediately asked the third question, namely, why the Secret Tower wanted to collect the True Spirit Pillar.

Sean said, "I'm not clear on the specifics. I only know that the Secret Tower places great importance on the True Spirit Pillar you mentioned. The entrance to the True Spirit Pillar is guarded by several level S superpower users, and reaching there requires opening five consecutive doors. There are also the most advanced security systems and special treasures equipped there."

Elon frowned deeply.

He tried asking Sean several more questions, but most of the time, Sean knew nothing at all.

It was unclear if there was a strict hierarchy within the Secret Tower, making the control of information excellent, or if the Secret Tower had done to Sean something similar to what they did to Shattered Star.

"Let's take him back for a thorough interrogation."

Elon and Suixi exchanged glances, eventually settling their eyes on Bai Fu.

Sean had been defeated by Bai Fu, so naturally, they had to consult her before taking him away.

"This man is deeply related to the one you're investigating for us. We would like to take him with us, and rest assured, we will provide additional compensation for you. I heard you are collecting advanced knowledge about spiritual energy. The knowledge I have might not be very advanced, but it's certainly rare and should be quite useful for you," said Elon as he sent a piece of advanced knowledge to Bai Fu.

Was there such a stroke of luck?

Bai Fu had initially intended to take out Sean directly, but since Elon had named his price, there was no harm in letting Elon take Sean off his hands.

"You can take him if you want."

"We owe our success in finding the target to you this time, and I hope we can collaborate on other matters in the future."

Elon smiled at Bai Fu and then reached out to place his hand on Sean's shoulder, preparing to use his skill to seal Sean's power. But then, something eerie happened.

After blinking forcefully a few times, Sean's eyes suddenly bulged, wide and round; his pupils shifted from their original white to a dark, sinister red-black, giving onlookers the creeps.

"Something's not right!"

Elon's face underwent a drastic change, and he quickly retreated.

In the moment of his retreat, Sean violently pounced forward, his hands morphing into claws, grasping at the spot where Elon had just been standing. As his hands fell, two beams of black light shot from Sean's eyes, piercing through the spaceship and disappearing into the boundless outer space.

Elon stared fixedly at the two gigantic melt holes in front of him.

Fortunately, since Sean had sustained severe injuries earlier, his movements were much slower, or else Elon would have had no chance to avoid this surprise attack.

"You're courting death!"

An immense force burst forth from Elon's body, completely enveloping Sean. Sean felt as if he was carrying a mountain on his back, his body involuntarily bowing down.

"You're not Sean, who are you from Secret Tower?"

Elon demanded sternly.

Sean, pinned down, began to laugh: "Guess?"

After these words, Sean's pupils suddenly lost all color, and his blood bar dropped to zero.

Bai Fu, Elon, Suixi: "!"

Dead?

As Sean collapsed, Elon's communicator rang out.

"Saint Heir, we've detected unusual spatial fluctuations, someone is approaching us!"

"It's the Secret Tower, they've arrived quickly!"

Elon looked at Sean's corpse on the ground, unable to contain his anger.

Sean was dead, and the clues were temporarily severed, but getting angry now was of no use.

"Let's get out of here first!"

As for the True Spirit Pillar, they would go after it from the Secret Tower later.

In haste, everyone left the mining ship and boarded the spaceship they had arrived in.

Hmph, trying to escape?

At Secret Tower Headquarters, the Housekeeper who had just infiltrated Sean's consciousness wore an expression that could barely conceal his delight. He wasn't fully aware of what had transpired on the mining ship, as his ability only allowed him to see the scenes witnessed by Sean before his death. But those scenes alone were enough to reap a bountiful harvest.

Elon had mentioned to Bai Fu earlier that they could find the target thanks to Bai Fu, and knowing that Elon was looking for Shattered Star meant that Shattered Star had already fallen into the hands of the Blessing Sect. Moreover, it was very likely that the True Spirit Pillar was also in the hands of the Blessing Sect.

"The True Spirit Pillar!"

The Housekeeper's eyes gleamed with excitement.

The True Spirit Pillar could greatly boost the Secret Tower's plans. Previously, since the location of the True Spirit Pillar, moved by Shattered Star, was unknown, the Secret Tower Master had even created a fake pillar imitating the True Spirit Pillar. Now that the real pillar had surfaced, what was the point of keeping the fake one?

"Stop them, don't let them get away!"
