Chapter 63: I’m Here to Mess with the Truth Society!

Outside the laboratory, Guido silently left after witnessing the scene.

He thought these spies were tough, but they were nothing like that.

After returning to the lounge, he found Youlia had already arrived and was staring expressionlessly at Bai Fu’s photo hanging on the wall.

He pursed his lips and did not speak to Youlia.

Youlia had extremely poor relations within the Truth Society. On one hand, she was very cold and arrogant, always putting on an unpleasant face as if she looked down on everyone, which made many people hostile towards her. On the other hand, her identity was special; she didn’t genuinely join the Truth Society and only worked for them after being captured by the president, so few people in the Truth Society tried to befriend her.

However, one thing had to be admitted: Youlia’s real strength was very strong.

Her ability was rated as taboo-level within the Truth Society. Currently, what she had shown included enslaving others, creating illusions, large-scale destruction, levitation, and a force field that could make others powerful enough to fly.

This was also why Guido believed that with Youlia joining, they could defeat Bai Fu.

“I heard Bai Fu has arrived?”

Suddenly, Youlia’s voice echoed in the room.

Guido was taken aback before replying, “That’s right.”

“Great, I was just about to find her. I didn’t expect her to come to me.”

Youlia licked her lips, and her ice-blue eyebrows relaxed due to excitement.

She didn’t want to be this crazy, but time was running out. Once the Truth Society understood all her abilities, she would have no value left, and she must break free from her cage quickly.

She hoped Bai Fu would satisfy her.

Ignoring the seemingly abnormal Youlia, Guido sat down and immediately sent the information about the events at the Bagalos Base back to headquarters.

Upon receiving the message, Chief of Operations Department Bernardo felt a chill in his heart, thinking it was bad news.

Fearfully, he approached the president who was currently in the interrogation room. Seeing the lifeless body in the interrogation room, he broke out in a cold sweat.

“P… President, Guido just sent back a message.”

“What? Did he and Youlia kill Bai Fu?” The president turned around, wiping his hands with a tissue.

Bernardo replied, “No, they haven’t left yet. Bai Fu and the Gene Progenitor’s people were lured to Bagalos by the bait we set up there. Then…”

The president’s expression darkened, “You’re not going to tell me the mission to kill Bai Fu failed again, are you?”

“Not exactly.” Bernardo swallowed hard. “The situation is much more serious. Just now, we caught Bai Fu’s henchman at the Bagalos Base…”

He recounted what happened.

Without needing further explanation, the president understood that Li Cheng’s exposure was not due to an inside job but because of Bai Fu’s henchman’s ability to resurrect the dead.

Therefore…

He turned around and looked at the high-ranking member of the Truth Society whom he had killed under the pretense of rectification.

No wonder no matter how harshly he acted or even used Youlia’s abilities, this person stubbornly claimed he had nothing to do with Bai Fu and the Gene Progenitor.

It wasn’t because this person was stubborn, but because he really wasn’t an insider; he was simply dirty-handed and greedy for money.

“Bai! Fu!”

The hoarse voice was completely forced out.

Bernardo was drenched in sweat.

After a long while, he heard the president say, “This incident is not to be disclosed.”

Bernardo dared not object; he promptly agreed.

On the other side, as one of the main combatants in this operation, Bai Fu was attending a pre-battle meeting hosted by the military of the Gene Progenitor.

This attack on the Bagalos Base involved a significant number of people from the Gene Progenitor. Perhaps to retaliate against the Truth Society’s defection of Li Cheng, two subordinate departments, Three Places and Four Places, were dispatched from the intelligence bureau, and highly influential figures from the military were mobilized.

However, this brought up a problem.

With so many people, it was chaotic.

During the meeting, there was a heated debate over whether the intelligence bureau should first investigate and then launch a full-scale attack, or if the military should initiate the attack and the intelligence bureau should take advantage of the opportunity to infiltrate the Bagalos Base.

Luxi Yue Lin, who usually liked to shirk responsibilities, unexpectedly became the main protagonist in the argument, unafraid even when threatened by military representatives.

“Don’t let Luxi’s casual demeanor fool you; he is very responsible when dealing with external matters. Otherwise, why would the members of Four Places trust him? Who doesn’t like a leader who doesn’t interfere internally but is willing to take the lead externally?” Xu Hong whispered to Bai Fu.

Bai Fu nodded.

She actually had a good impression of Four Places, except for Li Cheng, who had never been difficult with her. Recently, he had been calling her “Sister Fu” or “Sister Bai,” which was very sweet.

Bai Fu looked around and suddenly received a game prompt.

【Due to your indirect influence, the Truth Society suffered some damage.】

What the heck?

Bai Fu was confused.

She was sitting in a meeting doing nothing, how could the Truth Society suffer damage under her influence?

She hurriedly opened the plot quest triggered after eliminating the second wave of assassins sent by Li Cheng, titled 【Truth Unknown】.

After exposing Li Cheng, the progress of this quest went from 0% to 0.13%, but after that, it hadn’t moved. Now, however, she saw the progress had inexplicably risen to 0.28%.

What the hell, could it be a bug in the game?

Bai Fu was puzzled and couldn’t figure out the situation despite checking the game prompts.

But considering that an increase in task progress was generally a good thing, she didn’t dwell on it further.

“Is the meeting over?”

She asked Xu Hong and Xia Shi beside her.

Xia Shi replied, “The final decision is that our intelligence bureau will first investigate the situation, and the official action will start in half an hour.”

Bai Fu had no objections; her objections wouldn’t change anything.

While chatting with Xia Shi, Military Representative Basque suddenly walked over.

“Are you Bai Fu? I am Basque from the Gene Progenitor’s Strategy Room.” Basque smiled warmly. “I’ve heard that thanks to you, Four Places managed to catch Li Cheng, the traitor. I’m looking forward to your performance in this operation.”

He greeted briefly and left.

Bai Fu didn’t pay too much attention, but subconsciously threw a spirit vision at the stranger, and the feedback data was quite interesting.

【Affinity】: Hostile (-31)

“Does he have a good relationship with Li Cheng?” Bai Fu asked.

Xia Shi shook her head, “I haven’t heard that he has any connection with Li Cheng.”

That didn’t make sense. What she did didn’t affect him. Could it be that he is also a spy for the Truth Society, or is he jealous of her beauty?

Bai Fu remained calm and planned to send a player to watch Basque to avoid any unexpected incidents.

She had brought so many players along, and it would be a waste not to utilize them properly.

Stepping outside, she saw Jiujiao rushing over.

“Something big has happened! Bad news!”

“What’s wrong?” Bai Fu was slightly stunned.

Jiujiao hesitated after glancing at Xu Hong and Xia Shi.

Bai Fu immediately understood her meaning and led her aside, “You can speak now.”

Jiujiao said, “Just now, Jian Qi Chong Tian and a few others secretly went to Bagalos. They were captured by the Truth Society, and our whereabouts have been exposed. The only good news is that they transmitted the location of the Bagalos Base.”

She handed Bai Fu a map she had drawn herself, marked with a large red cross.

Seeing the red cross, Bai Fu’s eyes flashed.

The location indicated by the red cross was completely different from the point marked on the map presented by the military representative during the meeting.

Bagalos was indeed a trap set by the Truth Society. They created a fake base, while the real base was located several miles away from the fake one.

Unfortunately, no matter how cunning the Truth Society was, they never imagined there would be players, who were even more cunning than they were.

Bai Fu looked at the over hundred players who came with her.

Truth Society, I’m here to mess with you!
