'Yes, yes, thanks to your help, Su Rui.'

Vulpisfoglia smiled indulgently, leading Aye to the hiding place of the Winterspirit Blood Witches. Turning to look at Aye, who was fully armed but still somewhat nervous, she smiled reassuringly at her:

"Don't be nervous. I'll lead the charge, and you just need to provide support as needed."

"Yes, I understand."

Aye nodded, her gaze firm and earnest. "I will do my best to support Miss Vulpisfoglia."

"Okay, let's get going."

Vulpisfoglia nodded, pushed aside the handcart filled with miscellaneous items, revealing the manhole cover that had been obscuring it, and then opened the cover to reveal a path leading down below.

"Is the hiding place of those Winterspirit Blood Witches down here?" Aye nervously leaned closer to take a look, aiming her potion projectile cannon downwards as if afraid something might jump out from below.

"Don't worry, this is just a smokescreen."

With the Scanning Vision provided by Su Rui, Vulpisfoglia jumped down without any worries, grabbed the possessed body by the well in mid-air, and then looked up at Aye: "I'll go down and scout ahead first, and send you a signal later."

"Okay, I understand."

Aye nodded, while Su Rui said somewhat speechlessly into Vulpisfoglia's ear, "Didn't I already show you all the scans of this place? There's no defense here at all, and those Winterspirit Blood Witches ' spell traps aren't here either."

"I know, but don't you find it amusing how nervous Aye is? It reminds me of how apprehensive I was about everything when we first started a mission."

"I didn't expect you to have such a wicked sense of humor." Su Rui paused for a moment, then showed the several traps around Vulpisfoglia:

"This is a spell trap set by the Winterspirit Blood Witches. Using conventional methods to dismantle it will only trigger the spell inside and expose you. However, in reality, everyone in this stronghold is going about their own business right now, so no one will actually notice you."

As she spoke, Su Rui demonstrated to Vulpisfoglia how to deflect the magical trap:

"In fact, the more sophisticated something is, the easier it is to damage. We just need to dismantle the traps in places where they won't trigger the magic array."

Is it possible that finding a corner and direction that can dismantle a trap without causing development is actually not an easy task?

A smile involuntarily crept onto Vulpisfoglia's lips, but she said nothing. Instead, following Su Rui's prompting, she silently dismantled the traps around her and along the passageway, before sending a signal to Aye, who was still on guard above.

"Soldier Number One, take your positions! Now, let's infiltrate their base and eliminate them without them noticing!"

Su Rui's voice rang out, and in Vulpisfoglia's mind, she grouped her and Aye into a team, placing the status bar in the corner of Vulpisfoglia's field of vision.

'I really don't want us to encounter any dangerous situations, like the status bar or something...'

"The status bar is displayed so that you won't encounter any danger."

Su Rui emphasized this, then marked the iron gate at the end of the passage:

"There's a guard behind the iron gate. Honestly, this secret hideout only has one guard, and he's even dozing off. That's incredibly unprofessional; he should have his wages docked."

'There's no need. Just tell him to be more careful in his next life.'

Vulpisfoglia had unknowingly become familiar with Su Rui's sense of humor. While responding to Su Rui's words, she led Aye to the back of the iron gate.

"Let Aye wait here for a moment, then you rush in."

Vulpisfoglia nodded. She had brought Aye so she could take care of the patients here, not for fighting.

Volume 7, Chapter 414: Silent Infiltration

"There are Infected in the Winterspirit Blood Witches's base who are being used as spellcasting tools, which is why I brought you here. After I deal with these enemies, I need your help to take care of those patients."

Vulpisfoglia explained to the somewhat anxious Aye, then turned and walked towards the iron gate.

Upon hearing this, Aye nodded, remaining where she was to organize her backpack while a hint of worry crossed her mind. "Am I carrying too few medical supplies? If there are too many hostages, things might get a little..."

But since they were already here, there was no way they could just go back like this. Aye gritted her teeth and said, "At worst, we'll look for medical supplies in this base. A base this big must have medical supplies."

Aye checked her bandages and medicines, planning the dosage. Even if there were no medical supplies here, she would still save as many people as possible.

"Aye is very earnest. Will Suzuran become a kind child like her?"

Su Rui showed Aye's conflicted yet serious expression. Since Suzuran had been studying with Aye during this time, she should also be influenced by Aye.

"That's right."

Vulpisfoglia nodded, then quietly stepped behind the iron gate.

It was impossible to open such a heavy iron door silently. Fortunately, there was no one behind the door. Vulpisfoglia looked at the guard behind the door in her Scanning Vision, and when he turned around, she suddenly opened the iron door.

A golden shadow flashed by, and the guard who heard the sound turned his head. Before he could find anything, he felt a chill on his throat. He tried to make a sound, but it was too late.

Only then did he see the Vulpisfoglia; the blade pierced his throat, causing him to fall silently.

"There's no need to hide the corpse. These Winterspirit Blood Witches and their followers aren't very vigilant. They're probably used to a carefree lifestyle, aren't they?"

As Su Rui spoke, she highlighted and marked several people at the back of the room:

"These guys seem to have noticed this place and are planning to come over, but they don't have any alarms on them, and they won't be able to see us until they turn the corner, so you just need to hide and wait."

Vulpisfoglia silently concealed herself in an inconspicuous corner, holding three small knives in her hand, waiting for the Winterspirit Blood Witches and their followers to arrive and check the situation.

There were five people in total: two blood witches and three followers. The footsteps grew closer, Vulpisfoglia could also hear their conversation.

"Why is there another sound of a door opening? Could it be that our other companions have returned?"

Su Rui couldn't help but scoff. "Their companions are all long dead. Anyway, there are definitely none left in this city or around here."

Vulpisfoglia nodded, watching the five people gradually enter her room through the Scanning Vision.

As these people approached, Vulpisfoglia's heart pounded faster and faster. When they got close enough to see the body lying near the iron gate, they were too stunned to react.

The knife flew from his hand, and even the slight tremor caused by his racing heart couldn't affect the throwing accuracy aided by Su Rui.

"A corpse? Someone broke in! Watch out!"

Vulpisfoglia threw out the three small knives in her hand, piercing through the followers who were trying to react after noticing the corpse.

They intended to dodge or protect the Winterspirit Blood Witches around them, but it was as if they had deliberately run into the flying knives thrown by Vulpisfoglia.

One person had his throat slashed by a throwing knife, and collapsed, coughing as he clutched his neck; another person had his eye pierced by a throwing knife.

The last one was hit squarely in the temple by a throwing knife.

These followers were equipped with alarms, so they were the first targets to be eliminated. Once these followers fell, the so-called Winterspirit Blood Witches were left with only magic as their fighting power.

Even at such close range, they were still looking around in panic, unable to find any trace of Vulpisfoglia.

"Cut off their hands that hold the staffs, and then their tongues."

Su Rui's voice rang out, and Vulpisfoglia glanced at the mark in the Scanning Vision of vision, flashed past like a shadow, and appeared in front of the two Winterspirit Blood Witches.

There was no time to react; the cold glint of the blade flashed in the Winterspirit Blood Witches's eyes, severing the arm before they could even raise their staffs.

However, instead of severing their tongues as Vulpisfoglia Su Rui had suggested when the Winterspirit Blood Witches screamed, Honeysuckle ended their lives with a swing of her sword.

"You're really merciful, aren't you? You knew I wanted to torture them?"

"Sometimes, this isn't fun, Su Rui." Vulpisfoglia flicked the blood off her sword, offering a helpless consolation. "How about we play games together when we get back? Little Lisa can join us too."

"Playing games is fine, of course. But wait, you'll understand why I wanted to do this once you see the truth. Now, let's take care of the remaining enemies."

Su Rui did not continue to force Vulpisfoglia to comply with his demands, but simply marked the names of a few people in the next room.

"The outer hall connects directly to three rooms, so if you're not quick enough, you might attract a lot of attention, and then we'll have no choice but to fight our way out."

As Su Rui spoke, he marked a time point for Vulpisfoglia: "Right now, rush into the room on the left, an enemy is coming straight at you."

Vulpisfoglia acted swiftly, rushing out and then, as the door on the left side of the hall opened, she grabbed the other person's head and pushed them back inside.

The person who was pushed back staggered, tried to regain his balance but suddenly fell backward. When his companion went to help him up, he saw that his heart had been pierced.

Seeing his companion's death, before the follower could react, Vulpisfoglia's blade had already pierced him from behind.

The last remaining Winterspirit Blood Witches reached for her staff, only to be stabbed in the heart from behind by Vulpisfoglia's throwing knife.

"Excellent, superb accuracy, and completely silent—a perfect infiltration."

Su Rui specifically created a kill sound effect when he killed the Winterspirit Blood Witches, which created a sense of accomplishment and lured people to continue.

If there are no other ways to attract attention, Vulpisfoglia could easily become addicted to it, right?

Vulpisfoglia did exist, so when faced with Su Rui's quirky kill feedback, she simply smiled, retrieved the thrown knives, and returned to the doorway of the room on the left.

'Aren't there any threatening enemies here? You mentioned before that they were preparing to create a rather troublesome and dangerous enemy.'

"Yes, I have a wife. You'll see her in a bit, but she's still a work in progress."

Volume 7, Chapter 415: Wriggling Flesh and Blood

Vulpisfoglia glanced at the shadowy area in her Scanning Vision; it was clearly the room where Su Rui had mentioned the final boss was located.

However, Su Rui deliberately created shadows in the room, preventing Vulpisfoglia from knowing what was happening inside.

However, she did not find any of the hostages that Su Rui had mentioned.

' Su Rui, what happened to those hostages you mentioned? Have they been moved already?'

"Of course not. The hostages are in the boss's room; it's safe there. There's also an additional reason. Do you want to guess?"

Su Rui sounded cheerful, so even without thinking, Vulpisfoglia could guess that it was definitely not a good thing.

Her heart sank. Vulpisfoglia gripped her sword tightly and opened the door again.

Although the timing Tai He, with both rooms having their doors open, it wasn't a particularly difficult problem for Vulpisfoglia and Su Rui to solve.

Even when faced with opponents attacking from all directions at once, Vulpisfoglia did not panic.

"I have to say, as an assassin, you acted a bit impulsively this time."

Su Rui said with a hint of helplessness, while marking the most threatening individuals in Vulpisfoglia's field of vision. "First, prevent them from sounding the alarm."

Vulpisfoglia swung her throwing knives in quick succession, time seemed to slow down due to the surge of adrenaline.

Every individual who tried to take out a walkie-talkie or communicator from their pocket was marked with a countdown timer above their head by Su Rui. The countdown timer indicated when they would send a signal, and of course, it was also a countdown to their lives.

In that critical moment, Vulpisfoglia didn't have time to think much. Only after she threw out the throwing knives one by one, eliminating all the so-called alarm countdowns, did she draw the sword hanging at her waist. Then, while dodging the Winterspirit Blood Witches's spells, she rushed towards the approaching enemy.

' Su Rui, can't you use your abilities to block electronic signals?'

"Of course you can. I didn't tell you I have no way to stop them."

'If that's the case, why did you put a countdown timer above their heads?!'

Vulpisfoglia couldn't help but feel a little angry; in this chaotic and tense situation, her emotions became agitated.

"Because this adrenaline rush feels really good. Don't worry, I have control of all the electronic devices here, so there's no need to worry about information being transmitted."

As Su Rui spoke, she showed some parts of the map in her Scanning Vision, revealing that electronically controllable devices, including alarms and some doors, had been locked.

"Now no one can disturb you. Enjoy this feast of slaughter!"

'But this kind of thing is very dangerous; don't make jokes like that next time.'

"... Okay, I apologize. You can do whatever you want when you get back." Su Rui didn't argue with Vulpisfoglia and sincerely admitted her mistake.

While this attitude brought a smile to Vulpisfoglia's face, it also evoked a sense of helplessness.

Although Su Rui always apologizes sincerely, his recklessness and willfulness have never changed.

However, these things were not what he needed to worry about right now. Vulpisfoglia put aside his thoughts, pierced the heart of the Winterspirit Blood Witches who was almost within reach, and then used his corpse as a shield to charge towards his next opponent.

Thanks to Su Rui's signal jamming and other methods, even though the hall had become very lively, people in other areas received no information at all.

Soon, after a period of chaos, Vulpisfoglia dealt with the dozen or so Winterspirit Blood Witches and enemies who had surrounded her, and she didn't even have much blood on her clothes.

Next, in the Scanning Vision shown by Su Rui, there were not many enemies left.

"After all, they're just a bunch of guys hiding in the shadows, afraid to act openly; they definitely don't have much strength."

As Su Rui spoke, she marked the last location:

"Take care of the guys in this room, and all that's left is the final boss of this dungeon."

'So, is there a strategy guide? How do I defeat the final boss in this dungeon?'

As Vulpisfoglia walked briskly toward her destination, she asked Su Rui questions. Since Su Rui had brought up game terminology, she could try to use game terminology to get information out of Su Rui.

"Hmm, haven't I been giving you a walkthrough? But the final boss is only half-finished; it's actually quite easy to deal with."

Su Rui spoke, Vulpisfoglia had already reached the door of the last room.

The last door was a wooden door, and there happened to be a person leaning against it, passing the time.

"Thud!" With the sound of a sharp blade piercing through wooden board and then flesh, Vulpisfoglia pushed open the door and entered the room.
