In the real world.
The news of Jiang Baiqi's reappearance once again topped the trending searches. After all, the CP fans of Song Juyao and Jiang Baiqi had grown into a very large group, and there was also the fact that in every previous season of the Judgment Show, there had never been a situation where the same NPC appeared multiple times, which really made people want to explore what was hidden inside, and couldn't help but want to dig it out.
Liang Qiao felt an ominous premonition in his heart after Jiang Baiqi reappeared. He was restless, always worried that Jiang Baiqi, this terrifying NPC, would do something.
He wanted to call a temporary real-person NPC to go in and monitor Jiang Baiqi, but Jiang Baiqi's peculiar physique destined this to be unfeasible. Apart from Song Juyao, no one's eyes could follow him all the time.
What's going on with this NPC? Why wasn't he recovered by the main system after the second episode, and appeared by Song Juyao's side episode after episode?
"Director Liang, don't worry too much, it's okay." His team comforted him, "Even if Jiang Baiqi is Song Juyao's accomplice, what can a mortal do? Our judges are now Overlords, able to go to heaven and earth, there’s nothing they can’t handle!”
"That's right, Song Juyao didn't give him any abilities."
"How about this? We let the judges create something in the virtual world that can locate Jiang Baiqi, and then send someone to assassinate him?"
Liang Qiao was immediately overjoyed. That was a good idea! Anyway, as long as the judges thought about it in their mind and used points, they could create anything. What if they could really create something that could find Jiang Baiqi at a glance? Then they could send in a supernatural assassin to eliminate him. There would be nothing to worry about! As expected of the game planned by their team, it was really great!
Thinking this way, Liang Qiao immediately sent another temporary real-person NPC in.
At this time, in the virtual world, Shen Fang and Su Tiantian were celebrating with their core members in the new base.
The new base was in a remote suburb, a very spacious factory building that could hold thousands of people. Next door was a luxurious villa that could be used for sleeping. The owner of the factory building and villa had become Shen Fang's follower, beaten black and blue, and almost scared to death. Then, tempted by the abilities of the two, he joined them.
Shen Fang and Su Tiantian chose this kind of place as their base, firstly because the venue was large enough to accommodate more people; secondly, it was far away from city surveillance, so the followers who had obtained abilities could have training space; and thirdly, it helped them avoid attracting the government's attention.
They didn't want to attract the government's attention. It wasn't time yet. They already knew the main rules. The first stage of the Overlord game was the stage of accumulating energy, and the second stage would stop. There would be as many followers as there were, and they would not increase any more. Therefore, the point accumulation in the first stage was very important. The follower, this kind of storage battery, was also to be collected as many as possible. Attracting the government's attention would be very troublesome.
Now they had begun to infiltrate various government agencies in City C. It was too easy to lure these people to join. Therefore, Shen Fang and Su Tiantian were very relaxed. They were sure that they had not attracted unnecessary attention, and the government would not come looking for trouble.
"Boss, come down and dance with us!"
Shen Fang smiled and said, "No, you guys have fun."
The NPC worn by the temporary real-person NPC passed through the crowd and walked towards Shen Fang and Su Tiantian. As soon as Shen Fang saw her eyes, he knew that she was sent by Liang Qiao. He sat on the railing, waiting for her to come over.
At this time, something seemed to be flying rapidly from a distance in the sky, like a shooting star flashing past.
The temporary real-person NPC walked to Shen Fang's side, and Shen Fang lowered his head to listen, "Shen Fang..."
The intercontinental missile was precisely positioned, and the remote suburban area was spacious and convenient.
"Director Liang--"
"Boom--"
The entire factory building was instantly razed to the ground, and flames spewed into the sky. The heat exploded like a bomb in all directions, and the trees hundreds of meters away were almost blown away...
Live broadcast room viewers: ??? Meow meow meow???
What happened? Confused.
Liang Qiao's smile froze on his face. What? What happened?
Above the various live broadcast rooms of the Judgment Show, system prompt automatically appeared [Two real-npc out]
【???】
【The system prompt just announced judges are out??】
【Shen Fang and Su Tiantian are out??】
【Huh??】
【I'm dumbfounded, hasn't it just started? The Overlord game is still in the first stage】
【What was that just now? Why did a big explosion suddenly happen? It was too intense, I felt the heat through the screen, and it almost burning me】
Shen Fang and Su Tiantian gained so much attention for the first time, but with their deaths, their two live broadcast rooms had automatically closed. No one knew what had just happened, and why the two people suddenly dropped out.
【The Overlords can't kill each other in the first stage, so it's definitely not Song Juyao who did it】
【I'm dumbfounded, it's so sudden】
Liang Qiao's face was ugly, and he couldn't believe it. However, the fact was that Shen Fang and Su Tiantian were really dead. They had both come out of the bio-pods! The temporary real-person NPC who was sent in to deliver the message had also come out.
"What the hell is going on?!" Liang Qiao roared.
Shen Fang and Su Tiantian were also dumbfounded. They didn't have time to react at all, and didn't even have time to experience the feeling of death. They closed their eyes, and when they opened them again, they had returned to reality.
Now they realized that they had died in the virtual world, and their faces also turned ugly. What the hell? They hadn't shown their skills yet, and hadn't started the black-red route, and they were already out?
The program team was in chaos.
"What do we do now?"
"Is this considered a live broadcast accident?"
"But who bombed them?"
The name Jiang Baiqi appeared in their minds at the same time.
Song Juyao was the Overlord, and they couldn't kill each other in the first stage, so Song Juyao was ruled out. Who else was so brutal? Apart from this NPC, who always appeared by Song Juyao's side for some reason, and was her best assistant and first loyal dog, who else? As soon as he appeared, they felt bad, and now Shen Fang and Su Tiantian were really killed! Damn it!
If the audience figured out the situation, they would undoubtedly be scolded again. Now, there were fewer and fewer program fans of the Judgment Show, and they had all either turned black or turned into passers-by. Since the start of this season, they had not been able to feel the pleasure of playing with others from the program team's perspective.
The remaining ones were all die-hard fans and old fans, who were unwilling to give up so easily. And after another disappointment, these people would be even more crazy to fight back against the program team than others.
Liang Qiao couldn't accept it. This episode was carefully designed to bring down Song Juyao, how could it end like this? Wouldn't that make him look like a joke?
But now that things had come to this, what could he do?
……
Virtual world.
Jiang Baiqi received a reply. The intercontinental missile was successfully launched, and the positioning coordinates had been razed to the ground. No living thing could survive in that explosion, unless it was really a god.
He was expressionless, and there was no fluctuation in his heart about this, as if all of this was a matter of course.
Okay, the two hidden dangers had been resolved, and there was only one left.
...This last one is the most troublesome. In every sense.
The President sent another message to ask about the situation. After all, he had mercilessly annihilated the two in City C, so why hadn't he eliminated the one in City B?
Yes, elimination is the safest, but...
Jiang Baiqi sat in the car, eating the boxed lunch that the secretary had brought. His gray eyes stared at the villa where Song Juyao was, and after eating a large mouthful, he seemed to have made up his mind, pushed the car door open, and strode towards the villa.
The villa had suspended receiving guests.
Bai Qiang ball was shouting, rolling around in the living room, "I swear, there really was someone, someone knocked me unconscious!"
"Then tell me, what did that person look like?" Si Jiao asked. Under their noses, who could knock him unconscious? She didn't see anyone kick him at all.
"I can't remember, but there really was someone! He was wearing a white shirt and black pants!"
"You're disgusting, get out of here." Si Jiao kicked him away, disliking him for affecting the Lord's appetite. She had just made a table of new dishes for her Lord, and didn't know if the Lord liked them.
Lin Weiqi frowned, looking at the cursing Bai Qiang ball and fell into deep thought. A figure he had seen outside the villa before suddenly appeared in his mind, white shirt and black pants, very tall, but he couldn't remember what he looked like...
Song Juyao silently tasted the delicacies that her servants had learned to make for her, and was very tolerant of their noise, extremely gentle.
Hmm... my little gray dust has been observing me for a day, and is eating a boxed lunch outside now? That isn't very healthy... I wanted to eat with him.
At this time, the doorbell rang.
Lin Weiqi got up and went out, opened the iron gate, blinked twice before seeing Jiang Baiqi, and was immediately stunned. It's him!! This time, he saw Jiang Baiqi's face up close, and met those robotic gray eyes. Lin Weiqi's nerves tightened instantly, and he instinctively felt the danger of this person.
Becoming the Lord's Servant and possessing the abilities of another race, he wouldn't even be afraid of serial killers, but this person made him feel dangerous. Every hair on Lin Weiqi's body became alert.
Lin Weiqi tried his best to maintain the perfect smile of a butler. "I'm sorry, sir, we are now..."
Jiang Baiqi raised the certificate in his hand expressionlessly. "National Security Risk Elimination, Division 0. Take me to see your master."
