Ark Simulator: Don't I Lack a Physical Body?

"My plan will not have any problems," Su Rui emphasized, somewhat displeased.

"But since you want to, let's go talk to that old man, Ai Feng, first... To be honest, I don't really agree with it."

'Why? It just took a little longer, is there a problem?'

"How are you going to gain his trust? Especially since this is Syracuse, aren't you worried that offering help out of the blue might make him suspicious and turn against us?"

Vulpisfoglia shook her head. "The Syracuse mafia naturally have their own ways of communicating. I guarantee there won't be any problems. Trust me."

"... Alright, then I'll wait and see."

Su Rui reorganized the Scanning Vision within Vulpisfoglia's vision, marking the current location of the old tailor.

It didn't take long for Vulpisfoglia to drive to the old tailor's house and park the car.

Su Rui, sitting in the passenger seat, was the first to unbuckle her seatbelt and get out of the car.

"To be honest, I find it a bit strange that the Wolf Lord would choose a tailor as his henchman. Doesn't that mean he's completely incapable of fighting?"

Not all Wolf Lord wish to focus their attention on the power struggle; they participate in the game out of respect for their fellow foes. In reality, naturally, no one, or even any Wolf Lord, cares about these randomly chosen minions.

Vulpisfoglia paused for a moment, then walked to Su Rui's side and gently knocked on the door in front of her:

'However, being a henchman has some advantages; if he encounters trouble, the Wolf Lord will occasionally help find a way to solve his henchman's problems.'

"Hmm, it sounds like you're taking care of a little kid. Ziyue is the same way."

Su Rui nodded, and then heard the door in front of her click open.

Did the old tailor in the room really open the door without even looking?

Su Rui looked up curiously, and the old tailor, upon seeing Su Rui, initially appeared somewhat surprised, but then calmed down.

"What brings you two here?"

We are divine soldiers sent from heaven, here to help you rescue your grandson.

Just as Su Rui was about to say that, Vulpisfoglia covered her mouth with her finger. Facing the somewhat puzzled old tailor, Vulpisfoglia smiled slightly:

"Shall we go in and talk? We have information about your grandson."

"Please come in."

The old tailor thought for a moment, then invited Su Rui and Vulpisfoglia into his house, where they sat down at the table.

Vulpisfoglia cut straight to the point. "Your grandson is being held captive by the Venice Family in their mansion here. Rescuing him might be a bit troublesome."

"But your appearance before me means you have a way, right?"

The old tailor didn't lose his composure upon hearing the news; instead, he looked at Vulpisfoglia and Su Rui in front of him:

"Please tell me, what price must I pay to get you two to help rescue my grandson?"

Vulpisfoglia didn't speak, but turned to look at Su Rui: "What requests should we make?"

"Don't worry, I was prepared." After silently replying to Vulpisfoglia, Su Rui looked at the old tailor in front of her.

"I don't need you to do anything, but I do need the Wolf Lord behind you to do me a favor."

"This... I'm not sure I can convince you..."

Before the old tailor could finish speaking, the Wolf Lord, hidden in the shadows, quietly appeared. "Go on, what are your conditions?"

The old tailor looked at the Wolf Lord beside him in surprise, without saying much, but looked at the seemingly harmless, handsome Nine-Tailed Fox boy in front of him with some astonishment.

At first, he thought Su Rui was just a pretty face who came along with Vulpisfoglia, but he didn't expect that he was the one who actually made the decisions.

"The condition is simple, you know Lappland, right?"

"... Lupo, the one who killed Zaro? What do you have to say?"

"There will be another round of competition between you and Lappland. My requirement is that you support Lappland. Don't worry, it's not a difficult thing. You don't need to stand against your own kind. Just vote for her when Lappland discusses things with you."

After Su Rui finished speaking, she looked at the Wolf Lord, but in reality, she had already begun Scanning Vision and preparing for battle. After all, one or two Wolf Lord had died before, all at the hands of Lappland.

The guy in front of you might suddenly turn on you.

Vulpisfoglia was equally vigilant, having already quietly placed her hand on the hilt of her sword. With the weapon enchantment given to her by Su Rui, she could also kill the Wolf Lord, but Vulpisfoglia hoped to avoid conflict with such a dangerous creature if it wasn't absolutely necessary.

Unexpectedly, the Wolf Lord did not show any negative emotions; he simply nodded after Su Rui finished speaking.

"Okay, I accept this condition. Then please help him rescue his grandson."

After saying this, the Wolf Lord prepared to leave, his figure gradually disappearing into the mist.

"Wait a minute," Su Rui called out to the Wolf Lord, "Aren't you angry? Lappland killed one of your own kind!"

"... First of all, our relationship is not as simple as you think. Secondly, death is not the same for us as it is for other creatures on Terra; we have a different perspective."

The Wolf Lord uttered nonsensical words and vanished into the shadows, leaving Su Rui looking bewildered at the spot where it had disappeared.

"That's as good as saying nothing at all."

"Alright, let's get going. Let's set our goal first, then we can think about other things, okay? You'll have plenty of time to think about it later."

Helpless, Vulpisfoglia hugged Su Rui from behind, pinched Su Rui's cheeks, picked Su Rui up, and walked outside.

"Just stay here and wait for us. Don't come with us. We'll protect you if we encounter any danger."

Su Rui glanced at the old tailor who seemed to want to follow, and after a moment's hesitation, the tailor nodded. "Then I'll leave it to you."

Volume 7, Chapter 450: Eavesdropping on Conversations

As she left the old tailor's house, Vulpisfoglia realized that there was something different between Su Rui and her plans.

However, this time, before Vulpisfoglia could speak, Su Rui preemptively struck, putting his hands on his hips and looking at Vulpisfoglia:

"You've already caused such a stir within the Venice Family, you don't actually plan to go back openly and then use your status and connections to hope that Old Venice will release them, do you?"

Seeing Su Rui's questioning gaze, Vulpisfoglia couldn't help but shrink back. "As long as we guarantee that the old tailor's grandson won't tell anyone about this, Old Venice should be able to let it go, right?"

"No, buddy." Su Rui looked at Vulpisfoglia with a puzzled expression. "You caused a huge scene at the Venice family's house before. Even if it were your own kid who dared to do that, they would definitely get a beating when they got back. You're no longer part of the Venice Family."

Su Rui thought for a moment, "I know Old Venice probably wouldn't really use any tricks on you, but what you're doing still seems a bit unreasonable, doesn't it?"

"... Then what do we do?" Vulpisfoglia sighed. Although she had already guessed Su Rui's plan, she still asked the question subconsciously.

"Of course, it's the same old routine: we'll infiltrate, stuff the people into sacks, and bring them out."

As she spoke, Su Rui walked up to Vulpisfoglia, reached out, and placed her hand on Vulpisfoglia's shoulder. "Alright, if you don't want to drive, then let me drive."

Upon hearing Su Rui's words, Vulpisfoglia snapped back to reality, reached out and grabbed Su Rui's wrist, soothingly saying in a gentle tone:

"It's okay, I'm feeling great, honey. Let me drive, you can sit in the passenger seat and navigate for me."

"Okay." Su Rui rolled his eyes. He had expected this outcome, so he didn't fight with Vulpisfoglia for the right to drive and simply opened the passenger door.

However, after sitting in the passenger seat, Su Rui had a new idea and looked at Vulpisfoglia hesitantly:

"How about... we switch?"

"What do you want to change to? I need to think about it. Anything too dangerous is absolutely out of the question."

Looking at Su Rui's expression, Vulpisfoglia nodded helplessly, sat in the driver's seat, and decided to listen to Su Rui's thoughts first.

Seeing that Vulpisfoglia might agree, Su Rui relaxed a little and showed her the Venice Family's mansion in New Wolseini: "Look, this is the layout of the Venice Family's mansion here, as well as the distribution of people. There's a route that almost avoids all the relatively dangerous people, so even if I go there, there's no danger. So, can I give it a try?"

Su Rui looked at Vulpisfoglia with sparkling eyes. Seeing how many infiltrations and assassinations Vulpisfoglia had gone through, Su Rui wanted to try it herself.

Seeing that Vulpisfoglia looked somewhat troubled, Su Rui quickly added:

"Don't worry, I definitely won't do anything reckless. You can keep an eye on the Scanning Vision and watch out for what's happening here. If there's any danger, I'll slip away immediately and I definitely won't cause any trouble."

"But you haven't received similar training, so I'm still worried about you."

Vulpisfoglia looked helplessly at Su Rui, started the car, took a deep breath, and said as if sighing:

"This is the only time; I will not agree to it again."

"Really? That's amazing!"

Su Rui was overjoyed. If Vulpisfoglia hadn't had to drive, Su Rui would have loved to pick her up and carry Vulpisfoglia.

As for what Vulpisfoglia said about only doing it this once... if this time it succeeds, how far away will the next one be?

If you just put aside your pride and act cute, this whole thing is actually quite simple.

With this thought in mind, Su Rui sat down next to Vulpisfoglia and hummed a song softly as they walked to a spot not far from the Venice Family mansion.

Once you reach this location, you can't go any closer. After all, there might be security personnel inside, and getting too close would attract attention.

Su Rui unbuckled her seatbelt, got up from the passenger seat, and waved to Vulpisfoglia.

"I'm off then. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Vulpisfoglia nodded helplessly. "I'll assist you within the Scanning Vision, just be careful not to do anything reckless."

"Of course."

Su Rui nodded and turned to walk towards the wall of the Venice Family mansion.

Although it's a new Mobile City, finding a low wall to sneak into such a large building is still quite easy.

In particular, Su Rui's Scanning Vision is highly professional for this kind of work.

It took almost no effort for Su Rui to find a passage to sneak in, but his nine large, fluffy white tails were so conspicuous that they made movement a little inconvenient.

However, having nine tails wasn't without its advantages. With the tails acting as a counterweight, Su Rui could keep his center of gravity very low, allowing him to run at almost a crawling height.

Although we don't actually need it now.

Soon, Su Rui found a suitable corner, avoiding the gaze of all the observing and vigilant family members, and climbed over the slightly lower outer wall.

The nine large, fluffy tails also played a role at this time.

The tail sucked away most of the sound, making it impossible for others to notice Su Rui's voice.

Sitting in the car, Vulpisfoglia nervously watched Su Rui move continuously on the map displayed by the Scanning Vision, avoiding the sight of some patrol personnel, and continuing to the next safer place.

In fact, when Vulpisfoglia sneaks into many places, he hardly pays attention to those family members. Vulpisfoglia dares to walk right behind them without worrying about being discovered.

However, those things were based on the premise that she was on her own missions, that she didn't need to worry about Su Rui's safety, and that she possessed considerable combat capabilities.

Now, even if Su Rui walks past the patrolmen from a distance, Vulpisfoglia can't help but worry that Su Rui might happen to turn around and be discovered.

Fortunately, Su Rui's Scanning Vision was very comprehensive, allowing her to predict roughly when the other party would turn around. Therefore, Su Rui was not discovered by the members of the Venice Family until she infiltrated the central mansion.

Su Rui even leaned against a wall on a balcony and listened to two family members gossip.

"Hey, have you heard? Miss Ingrid caused quite a scene in the family a year ago, and she's still staying in New Wolseini."

"It's hardly a secret, is it? But Mr. Venice doesn't seem to be planning to go see her."

"After all, he's a child I've raised since he was a baby. Mr. Venice must be in a bit of a dilemma, right?"

Volume 7, Chapter 451: It's inconvenient for me to lie.

'It seems our story has been widely spread.'

Su Rui leaned against the wall, eavesdropping on the conversation between the two family members standing on the balcony, and couldn't help but tease Vulpisfoglia.

'Hmm... alright, get your attention back on your task, Su Rui.'

"Okay, I understand."

Su Rui nodded, said nothing more, and quietly walked across the balcony to the room where the old tailor's grandson was being held.

There are no dungeons or basements or anything like that.

The old tailor's grandson was simply locked in a bedroom, all the tools he could possibly use to escape were taken away, and even though he was several stories high, he didn't dare to jump out of the window to escape.

Su Rui was bolder. She approached the room where the old tailor's grandson was through the outside window, stood on the windowsill, and gently knocked on the window.

The old tailor's grandson was clearly startled by the sudden commotion. He turned around and saw Su Rui squatting on the windowsill, smiling and waving at him.

He paused instinctively, staring blankly at Su Rui, then looked dazed, as if he thought he was still dreaming.

Su Rui rolled her eyes in annoyance, ignoring the slow-witted guy, and took out a glass cutter from her System Space. She cut the window glass, reached in from the outside, opened the window, Su Rui jumped into the room.

The old tailor's grandson then looked at Su Rui as if waking from a dream, his expression one of surprise:

"May I ask who you are...?"

"I've taken the money and done the job. Anyway, I've accepted the commission to get you out of here. From now on, you're not allowed to make a sound. Be a good girl and follow me. I'll take you out. Do you understand?"
