Julia's smile was radiant, highlighting a beauty as if she had stepped out of a painting.
But now, no one cared whether she was beautiful or not, nor could anyone feel any warmth from her smile; after she spoke those words, the entire corridor fell into an eerie, deadly silence.
Guido was really dead, killed not by his own hand in cooperation with Julia's act.
For at the moment he fell and Julia spoke, all the players who had attacked Guido, as well as Bai Fu, received a game notification.
[Guido is dead. Contribution 37.1%, experience points gained after adjustment based on level difference: 12,243]
The game's verification, unmistakably genuine.
This was something no one had anticipated.
Although Guido's death brought Bai Fu more than 10,000 experience points, she couldn't feel happy about it at the moment.
There were two reasons for this.
The first reason was naturally that someone had stolen her kill; she could have earned more experience. The second reason was that she sensed an extremely dangerous aura emanating from Julia.
She gave Julia a [Spiritual Vision].
[Skill assessment successful. You have obtained partial information about the target]
[Name]: Julia (Fake Body) (Elite)
[Template]: Special – True Spirit's Child (Unawakened)
[Main Profession]: True Spirit Lv11 [Lower Profession Spiritual Ability Apprentice Lv10], Defender Lv9
[Secondary Profession]: Doctor Lv5
[Spiritual Ability Value]:
[Attributes]: Strength 14, Agility 13, Constitution ?, Intelligence ?, Spirit ?, Inspiration 54
[Skills]: Spirit Master, Intermediate Spiritual Ability Specialization, Substitute Game Lv4, ?, ?...
[Talent]: True Spirit's Child, ?, ?
[Affinity]: Drooling (21)
The feedback data was indeed completely different from the last time she had met Julia; after reading it, Bai Fu's eyes widened.
This fake body's inspiration alone was as high as 54 points; how high must her true form's data be?
But that wasn't the most shocking part; the template clearly marked "Unawakened," which was truly outrageous. Unawakened and already this powerful, what would happen once awakened?
With this template, Julia could either be an even more important story NPC than Xia Shi or one of the big bosses of Ancestral Origin Star, the Newbie Planet!
The corners of Bai Fu's mouth twitched.
She thought carefully; there really was no need to be concerned over Julia's identity, for the danger rating given by this Substitute Game alone was [Red], meaning this fake body alone posed a threat to her life.
The only problem was—
"Your Affinity is fishy!?"
Affinity 21, Bai Fu almost doubted her vision; the rating was even harder to digest.
So, you are trying to emulate Hannibal!
No wonder she felt something off about Julia's gaze; it wasn't the excitement of someone about to commit a murder, but the excitement of finding a prey she could well play with.
She remembered what Julia had said to her at the Abandoned Cooling Factory; this woman was undoubtedly a psychopath!
Just as everyone was tense, a scream broke the silence.
"Dr... Dr. Julia, what are you doing? Why did you attack Lord Guido? You..."
A member of the Bagalos Base who had witnessed Guido's death was so frightened that he fell to the ground and started shouting incoherently.
His shout caused the smile on Julia's face to vanish, replaced by a deep dissatisfaction.
I'm talking to Bai Fu; what are you yapping about here?
She didn't turn around. Suddenly, a suffocating pressure filled the corridor, and in an instant, a semi-transparent veil descended on him, crushing his chest inward.
Blood spurted wildly, and in the blink of an eye, the man fell silent.
Those around him watched with twitching eyelids.
Holy crap, what kind of power is this?
It looked like they were in for a tough fight; the players, special agents, and Bai Fu's hearts all sank.
Julia thought for a moment and allowed the players she controlled to clean up all the troublesome people around.
She could have arrived here earlier, but before taking action, she had first gone to the control room and destroyed all the equipment there to prevent the events happening here from being reported back to the Truth Society headquarters, thus avoiding the Truth Society uncovering her intentions.
By the time she had finished and come out, Guido had already been beaten into a frantic retreat.
Honestly, this outcome was somewhat unexpected by Julia; the last time she had fought Bai Fu, Bai Fu wasn't nearly this strong—it was surprising that, after just a month, the intensity of the spiritual energy inside Bai Fu had increased several times.
If she could combine Bai Fu's ability with her own, she could definitely break free from the control of the Truth Society and launch the ultimate revenge against them!
A strange tingling sensation rose from the soles of her feet all the way up to her crown; Julia felt like she was about to lose control.
She had had enough of a life bound by that special device; she no longer wanted to see her friends and family held hostage by the Truth Society.
"Bai Fu, do you know how hard it has been for me to find you?"
A blush surfaced on Julia's face.
No, I don't know, and I don't want to know!
Bai Fu instinctively took a step back.
However, the other uncontrolled players' eyes suddenly shifted.
Wait, something's up!
[This doesn't seem like a fight is about to break out]
[Could it be that Dr. Julia and Fufu are in cahoots? Doesn't seem right; if they were, why would she control us?]
[Could she be from outer space like Bai Fu?]
