The Spirit Vision skill check was very successful, and the data panel of the strange burly man popped up smoothly.

[Name]: Number Seven (Elite) [Template]: Special (Mutant) [Main Profession]: Truth Hunter Lv2 [Sub-Profession Agent Lv10 (Max)] [Sub-Profession]: Chef Lv3 [HP]: 190/190 [Attributes]: Strength 19, Agility 16, Constitution 14, Intelligence 4, Spirit 5, Inspiration 8 [Skills]: Weak Point Strike Lv5, Precise Shot Lv3, ? [Talents]: ? [Favorability]: Never Met (-5) [Danger Level]: Red

"Number Seven? Is your creator named Lu Ban the Master?"

Bai Fu's mouth twitched, especially after seeing Number Seven's favorability towards her.

The evaluation was "Never Met," yet the favorability was -5. This guy was clearly someone who disliked everyone, no wonder he grabbed someone by the neck just for asking a question.

If Number Seven had provoked someone else, it would be fine, but he was clearly looking for trouble with the players. Bai Fu could only silently pray for him in her heart.

Strictly speaking, this should be the first NPC she had encountered with a special template. Not only that, but Number Seven also possessed an advanced profession, [Truth Hunter].

With the buffs from the special template and advanced profession, Number Seven's stats could completely crush Cao Wenliang.

Even compared to herself, Number Seven had several more total stats than her, despite being one level lower.

"Is this the charm of special templates and advanced professions?"

Bai Fu felt like she was about to ignite.

She had to quickly level up Spiritual Apprentice to Lv10. As for after that, if she couldn't find the profession advancement knowledge book in Abandoned Cooling Plant, she would have to consider taking a bus to Lynn.

Bai Fu closed the data panel. She felt it was necessary to confirm Number Seven's identity.

An NPC whose strength far exceeded the average level of the newbie village suddenly appearing in the newbie village would definitely spell trouble in a normal game.

"I wonder if it's a main story quest or a hidden quest."

Bai Fu silently followed behind Number Seven.

After interrogating several passersby, Number Seven finally found the players' new stronghold. Then, he did something that perfectly fit his character: he barged in without a word.

"You're looking for…"

WHAM!

Number Seven punched the player sawing wood at the entrance, sending him flying. Before the player could even figure out what happened, he had experienced his first death of the week.

"Weren't you supposed to be Undying? Where can't you die?"

Number Seven walked to the player's corpse and burst into laughter. While laughing, he kicked the player's corpse with his foot.

"Come on, show me your resurrection!"

Beneath his mocking expression lay a hint of ferocity. That bumpkin from Wildfire Gang dared to toy with him. Not only that, but he also tried to use that stinky woman Yulia's influence to suppress him. When he got back, he would have to let him properly experience the methods of a Truth Hunter.

This move, which completely disregarded the usual flow, stunned the group of players inside the stronghold, who were usually the ones who liked to break the mold.

What's with the commotion? This isn't right. Even if it were a monster siege, it wouldn't be an attack like this.

After a moment, a group of players walked up to Number Seven and started pointing.

"Human Confusion Grand Prix?"

"Is this a bug?"

"If it's a bug, we should report it quickly. If all NPCs become like this, how are we supposed to play?"

"Is there a reward for reporting bugs?"

Besides pointing fingers, some players who were looking for entertainment quickly opened their photo mode.

"How novel! It's actually a bug, hahaha. Let's take a picture together. I'm going to post this on the community!"

He walked up to Number Seven, smiling, and made a peace sign.

Bai Fu: "……"

Number Seven: "……"

Seeking death!

After reacting, Number Seven was engulfed in rage.

He had acted ruthlessly from the start to intimidate these Outsiders. Who would have thought that these Outsiders would not only not be scared but would surround him with laughter, as if observing a monkey in a civilized manner.

This was simply the ultimate insult to him!

Do you think you're invincible just because you beat Wildfire Gang? Today, I'll let you understand what an enemy from the heavens means!

"What 'Brother Ba' or 'Brother Ba' nonsense? You bunch of useless trash, hurry up and call your boss out!"

In a fit of rage, Number Seven grabbed the player who was taking photos by the neck from behind, lifting him up forcefully. Before the other players could respond, he crushed the player to death.

"Holy crap?!"

If they had been confused before, now they understood completely. This wasn't a bug; an NPC was actually causing trouble!

"Even Brother Long isn't as arrogant as you."

"You're so badass, do your family know?"

"What's going on? A random attack event? I haven't heard of this happening in other beginner villages."

Amidst the chaos, several players had already drawn their weapons.

Number Seven let out a cold laugh and strode forward. The player closest to him hadn't even seen what happened before they found themselves sent flying into the air by a swift knee strike.

"It's a strong enemy, someone help!"

"Damn it, Big Pai isn't here."

"Panda Head, use taunt, draw his attention."

"Holy mother of all that's holy, you stinking bug, your head looks like a..."

The players who realized the danger didn't run. Instead, they formed a decent formation and charged.

"Interesting, very interesting!" Number Seven laughed even harder.

That bumpkin from the Wildfire Gang wasn't entirely lying. These Outsiders did possess courage far beyond ordinary people. Even seeing their companions killed so easily, they showed no fear. He wondered who gave them such bravery.

But it didn't matter. Their fearlessness was only because they hadn't experienced true terror!

"I'll see who it is that stands behind you!"

Kill, kill, kill!

Number Seven was like a dragon entering the sea, stirring up monstrous waves.

Suddenly, Digging Princess leaped out from the side.

"Stop right there!"

She shouted, and Number Seven actually stopped.

"Are you their boss?" Number Seven narrowed his eyes.

Digging Princess played the role of a master, though it wasn't entirely an act. She genuinely felt like a master now, having already become a "noble" player who had transferred classes.

It was time to test the power of her new class skills.

Digging Princess drew back her right fist, beginning to charge.

At a certain moment, she suddenly yelled at Number Seven, "Look behind you!"

Huh?

Number Seven instinctively turned.

Good, now!

Digging Princess thrust her right fist forward, her entire upper body launching out like a cannonball.

"Watch this, this is my charged punch! I, Digging Princess, am not to be trifled with, AHHHHHH!"

Bang!

Number Seven turned back with incredible speed and kicked Digging Princess in the stomach. The next second, she flew backward.

"-60"

She died on the spot.

The surrounding players were stunned as the livestream abruptly went black.

[Major incident! The war correspondent is down!]

[Digging Treasure, don't push yourself, just stick to being the camerawoman.]

[Someone, start a new stream, I want to watch the fight.]

The reactions of the other players in the stronghold were similar to those in the livestream. Most were laughing, showing no signs of fear.

This made Number Seven's expression grow even more grim.

What was going on with these Outsiders? Could they really revive? But no, those Outsiders he had killed were still lying there neatly.

Whatever.

Number Seven's bloodthirsty nature kicked in. This time, he decided to suppress these Outsiders with the most brutal methods, including but not limited to tearing them apart, skinning them, and mashing them into a pulp.

Blood was the best catalyst for fear!

He grabbed a player who rushed at him and, with extreme brutality, bent the player's leg forward, exposing the bone.

Well, are you scared now?

Number Seven tilted his head up proudly, only to see a scene that left him bewildered.

"Holy crap, good thing I turned on friendly fire mode."

"Scary!"

"I can't beat him head-on, looks like I have to use my trump card. I thought I wouldn't have to fear these monsters after changing jobs."

Is it finally coming?

Bai Fu looked at Number Seven with a hint of pity.

Don't think only BOSSes have a second phase; players in the Abandoned Cooling Plant also have a second phase. Now, Number Seven has successfully forced out the players' second phase!

"Brothers, get him!"

"Here they come, watch this!"

A player lunged forward, scattering a bag of Lime. Another player ambushed from behind, splashing a basin of boiling water.

Number Seven was fast, and his reactions were equally quick. He easily dodged the players' first wave of attacks, but the number of players was far greater than he had imagined, and their preparations were far more extensive.

The damage from these traps and items was not high individually, but in large numbers, they were truly infuriating.

What made Number Seven even more incredulous was the will of these Outsiders.

He broke one Outsider's leg, and the Outsider fell to the ground, crawling all the way to him to stab his kidney.

He caved in one Outsider's chest, and even on the verge of death, the Outsider clung to his waist, shouting "Fire at me," only for someone to stab through the Outsider in the next second, impaling himself onto Number Seven.

Were these Outsiders on something? No, even if they were, they wouldn't be this hyped up.

He was only distracted for a moment before an Outsider leaped onto him from behind, performing a "man-locking man" move.

Then, one after another, Outsiders swarmed him. Some held his feet, some held his hands, some stuffed smelly socks into his nostrils, piling on him until only one foot was exposed.

Number Seven, who had never witnessed such a fighting style, felt his heart tremble inexplicably.

Was he scared?

No, absolutely impossible!

How could a bunch of Outsiders, as easily killed as chickens, make him feel fear!

Number Seven struggled furiously. A powerful Strength burst from his body. Just as the players pinning him were about to be thrown off, another player rushed forward.

"I'll blow myself up with you!"

Number Seven looked closely and saw that the Outsider was holding a venom sac from a Type II amoeba.

"Crap!"

His face changed drastically in fear. If those venom sacs exploded here, even he would be in big trouble.

"Get off me, all of you, get off!"

Number Seven couldn't care about anything else now. He quickly pulled out a spherical item from his clothes and pressed it hard.

Bzzzz--

Under the invisible shockwave, all the players were hit with Stiffness. The player charging with the venom sac was no exception. However, as he froze, due to the throwing motion he had already made, two venom sacs were propelled by inertia, smashing in front of Number Seven. The venom splashed, and his right foot was corroded to the bone.

Number Seven struggled to stand, his appearance frenzied. "Good, very good. You've actually pushed me this far. I'm going to tear every single one of you apart!"

He took two steps forward and had just placed his hand on a player's shoulder when his body trembled violently.

A bullet shot from behind, hitting his back.

"Who?"

Number Seven turned around, and a white-haired girl holding a gun appeared in his sight.

"Hahaha, there's one more hiding here? You die too!"

He pressed the spherical item again. Under the invisible shockwave, the girl's body also froze.

Number Seven grinned sinisterly and walked towards the girl. When he was only two meters away, something unexpected happened.

The girl, who had been frozen, pressed the trigger with her right index finger. The gun spat flames, and a bullet shot straight into his chest.

"You... why are you okay?"

Number Seven looked at the bullet hole in his chest with disbelief.

Bai Fu immediately landed two punches on the bullet hole, knocking him to the ground. Then, she delivered a slash to his chest. After confirming he was in a severely weakened state, she began to question him.

"Who are you?"

Number Seven laughed heartily. "You will all die. Everyone will die. The entire Abandoned Cooling Plant will be buried with me!"

Since she couldn't get any useful information, Bai Fu could only deliver another blow.

[You have killed Number Seven, Contribution: 63.4%. Experience gained after adjustment for level difference: 3994 points]

No quest was triggered, which made Bai Fu a little disappointed, but not too much. She was one step closer to leveling up.

She first picked up the spherical device that Number Seven had dropped from the ground.

[Psionic Restrainer]

[Quality]: Blue

[Additional Effect]: Using Psionic Impact causes targets within a 20-meter radius to enter a Stiffness state. The Stiffness duration depends on Inspiration, and is invalid when target's Inspiration > 8. (Remaining uses: 2)

This is good stuff.

When Number Seven used it on the player, she knew this item wouldn't work on her. It was precisely because of this that she suddenly stepped out and fired at Number Seven.

That shot didn't inflict much damage on Number Seven, only serving to distract Number Seven. As she expected, the enraged Number Seven also used the Psionic Restrainer on her. She decisively pretended to be restrained, causing Number Seven to completely let down her guard.

If not for that, even with Number Seven's leg injured, it would have been difficult for her to land the second shot.

Bai Fu crouched down and rummaged through Number Seven's pockets, finding a peculiar teardrop-shaped badge.

"The Truth Society?"

She had seen this badge before, when she was reading about Zu Yuan Star in the library of the Wildfire Gang.

It seemed she had provoked a formidable organization, but it didn't matter. The Truth Society didn't know it was her.

Bai Fu pocketed the badge and the Psionic Restrainer, then walked towards the players not far away.

"Are you all alright? I'm a little late."

Late?

No, no, no, you're not late at all. You've arrived at the perfect time!

Seeing Bai Fu hit Number Seven with a shot, the surviving players felt an unprecedented sense of relief. Even when Bai Fu seemed to be controlled by Number Seven afterward, they didn't panic.

As if! Bai Fu, who could see their "heroic" nature at a glance.

As expected, after Number Seven laughed for only a few seconds, Bai Fu took her down with a series of fluid combos.

"Fu Fu is awesome!"

"So cool, I wish I was this badass!"

"So handsome, so damn handsome."

The players who had regained their freedom erupted in fervent cheers.

PS+: Thanks to Tian Leng Tai Yang Pa for the reward.

Tomorrow is Tuesday, there will be an extra update.
