Vulpisfoglia turned to look at Su Rui and asked in a light tone, "Who is this person?"

The woman opposite him, thinking Ren was asking her a question, immediately revealed a smug expression. "You ask who I am? I'm a well-known gang leader in Chernobog, everyone here knows my name! A few months ago..."

Before she could finish speaking, Su Rui had already thoroughly investigated her background, then sneered:

"There are no gangs in Chernobog at all, because those gangs were wiped out when the Reunion Movement came to the city. This guy is just a small-time hoodlum, and he's at the age where he doesn't need to go to school, so he doesn't look for a job and just wanders around the streets."

Su Rui paused for a moment. "Simply put, he's just a small-time hoodlum."

Su Rui's words immediately angered the woman in front of her, who turned red with rage and wanted to argue with Su Rui.

"What are you talking about? Do you know I am...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Su Rui raised her eyes. Even her gentle and approachable aura seemed somewhat oppressive at this moment, so much so that the gang leader standing in front of Su Rui was stunned for a moment and subconsciously couldn't say anything.

"If you hadn't just been idle and aimless all this time, instead of actually committing crimes, you would have been arrested and sent to a labor camp or turned into fertilizer long ago. Can you please stop getting in my way? If you have nothing to do, you can go bite a lighter."

Su Rui looked at the idiot standing in front of her with some dissatisfaction, who had attracted the attention of many people, and spoke in a very rude tone.

Nobody wants to be suddenly stopped and yelled at while shopping, attracting the attention of everyone passing by, right?

The thought of all the curious or gossipy eyes on him made Su Rui want to beat the guy in front of her up.

"I can't take it anymore," Su Rui thought, and suddenly stepped forward, punching the Ursus boss in the stomach with the hand that was holding the kebab.

Although Sankta's physique is relatively inferior to Ursus's, he will still feel pain if he is hit in the soft abdomen.

After Su Rui made that move, Vulpisfoglia and Texas blocked him in time, preventing the guy from suddenly attacking and hurting people.

Volume 3, Chapter 167: A Foolish Plan

"Is a fight about to break out? Hey, hero saves the damsel in distress!"

Croissant became excited at the sight and wanted to get closer. Although it wasn't convenient for her to carry her hammer and shield all the time, Su Rui was right there if she wanted to.

With just a word, her weapon will appear in her hand. Is she about to cause trouble in Ursus?

Croissant was itching to get her hands on some, though she was a little worried that it might lead to them being wanted by Chernobog. But Vulpisfoglia's boss would have a way, right?

However, just when she thought a fight was about to break out, the so-called "gang leader" saw the murderous glint in Vulpisfoglia and Texas's eyes as they became wary, and immediately shuddered, leading his henchmen away.

After all, Vulpisfoglia and Texas are real killers. Dealing with these small-time thugs who only dare to fool around on the streets is quite simple. Just one look from them is enough to make them run away in fear.

Watching the other person slink away, Vulpisfoglia turned to Su Rui with amusement. "Looks like I'll have to put in a little more effort to prevent you from being kidnapped."

"... I don't quite understand, what's so special about Exusiai?"

Su Rui found a reflective glass wall and could vaguely see the appearance of the body in question. It was indeed just a normal-looking girl, albeit a rather pretty one.

She's about the same size as Vulpisfoglia and the others, and if we're talking about sweetness, Sora is sweet too; she's an idol, after all.

So why did they specifically target him? It can't be because Su Rui is now controlling the woman's body, and that contrast attracted them, right?

Su Rui shook her head, deciding not to think about it anymore. She glanced at Exusiai was still playing the game, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

Being addicted to games is like this: you become oblivious to what's happening around you.

However, Su Rui didn't say anything, and the morning passed by in a pleasant shopping spree.

Perhaps because people had witnessed Su Rui's punch and the murderous aura displayed by Vulpisfoglia and Texas, those thugs who harbored designs on Su Rui no longer dared to cause him any trouble.

At noon, Vulpisfoglia returned to the hotel, glanced at everyone, and nodded.

"Everyone, go back to your rooms and rest for a bit. We'll continue our journey this afternoon."

Everyone else had no objections, but Exusiai had overheard this sentence by chance, reacted instinctively and immediately asked in her mind:

'Wait a minute Su Rui? Aren't we planning to take care of some potential troublemakers in Chernobog? Why are we setting off this afternoon?'

"As I said, they might get in the way, so of course we don't necessarily have to eliminate them. These are Ursus's own problems. If we happen to run into them, we can help deal with them, but if they don't affect our operations, there's no need to bother with them."

As Su Rui was saying this, she suddenly changed the subject. "Oh, it seems we've run into each other. Let me see."

Su Rui activated her Scanning Vision to gather more detailed information, then looked at Vulpisfoglia: "It seems you'll be resting in one room, but the bed here is quite large, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Hmm." Vulpisfoglia nodded, immediately understanding what Su Rui meant by those words, and turned to walk out of the room.

At this moment, Exusiai also became excited and moved closer to the screen that Su Rui had shown her, beginning to carefully examine the object that Su Rui was scanning.

'They seem to be just a group of ordinary people. Apart from their somewhat serious expressions, there's nothing special about them.'

Not all bad people look bad; look at what they say and do before making a judgment.

As Su Rui spoke, she displayed the intelligence she had gathered:

"It seems our little commotion on the shopping street this morning did attract attention, and... their news spreads way too fast."

Su Rui looked at the guys in his Scanning Vision who were discussing how to move next, and couldn't help but feel speechless.

Generally speaking, they could only be considered tourists passing through Ursus. After all, these people were just remnants of a defeated army, and their perception of Su Rui and her companions was limited to a few pretty female tourists.

However, these people did everything they could to smear Ursus in Talulah's hands and cause Talulah trouble.

They actually came up with the idea of kidnapping these beautiful women to damage Ursus's international reputation... Come to think of it, Terra's diplomacy always feels somewhat dispensable.

With almost every city in the same country operating independently, it's hard to say how much progress can be made diplomatically.

Thinking of this solution must have put them in a difficult position, right?

Su Rui couldn't help but smile, which was seen by Croissant and Sora as they entered his room. The two girls were startled for a moment until Texas gently nudged them from behind, bringing them back to their senses before they went into the room.

However, Exusiai more concerned about something else: 'The commotion this morning? Did you guys do something interesting while I was playing games?'

"How dare you, a gamer, say such a thing?" Su Rui retorted irritably, then put her hands on her hips.

"I just encountered someone trying to chat me up, and I punched that person."

Although Su Rui said that, Exusiai n't help but show a hint of regret:

'It's such a shame I didn't get to participate in something so interesting.'

"What's there to regret? Oh, by the way, get ready, I'm giving your body back to you."

As Su Rui spoke, she revealed her Scanning Vision vision to Exusiai.

In a small alley not far from the hotel, a group of men carrying sharp weapons were gathered together, seemingly discussing something.

They were clearly unaware that their every move was being monitored by Su Rui, so they were still excitedly discussing how to smear Talulah and Ursus after they arrested the girls from Penguin Logistics.

"Aren't they a little silly?"

Croissant looked at the guys that Su Rui was live-streaming on her phone, tilting her head in confusion. They planned to sneak into their room and subdue them... Hadn't they considered the possibility of resistance?

Su Rui wasn't surprised. "Try to understand. I've already eliminated all the truly intelligent and capable people who opposed Talulah. Their behavior was relatively normal; it's just that their plan was rather rudimentary."

Volume 3, Chapter 168: Instant Kill in the Elevator

"Looks like you won't have time to rest properly. They plan to sneak in and raid you in an hour after you fall asleep."

Watching those people make their plans, Su Rui couldn't help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.

They were convinced that Vulpisfoglia; they had been shopping all morning and would definitely have a good rest at noon.

Unfortunately, even when they were resting and completely unguarded, Su Rui didn't think they had the ability to take down the girls from Penguin Logistics on his side.

Now, these idiots are facing girls who can't get a proper rest and are specifically prepared to wait for them for an hour with Penguin Logistics.

Su Rui didn't believe they hadn't broken their heads. Although the girls from Penguin Logistics were indeed quite good-tempered, generally speaking, even the most good-tempered person wouldn't be too happy to have their rest disturbed, right?

Exusiai didn't seem to mind. "Anyway, with your warning, Su Rui, we don't need to keep an eye on them for the entire hour."

"...You're right, so how about we play games?" Su Rui suggested, but the girls politely declined.

"No, if someone is about to attack me, it will make me a little uneasy and I won't be able to concentrate on the game."

Kong, looking somewhat troubled, took a book out of her pocket, as if it were a book that could help her relax, and began to read it intently.

Even Exusiai waved her hand helplessly:

"After all, an hour is just too short. You can't really play games for long. I'd better find something else to kill time."

So, in the end, only Su Rui was left playing the game, and even Exusiai was maintaining her Rapid-Fire Gun, waiting for the next attack.

An hour passed in this fragmented way, and soon, Su Rui's Scanning Vision detected that those guys had begun to move.

In order to get into the hotel normally, these guys dressed neatly, smiled and greeted the hotel receptionist, and entered in batches, claiming that they were there to meet friends.

While it might be normal once or twice, after it happened repeatedly, even the front desk staff noticed something was wrong.

However, they couldn't stop it; all they could do was explain to security that something seemed amiss.

After all, no one dares to stop these customers until it's certain that something will actually happen. The service staff are just there to earn a living; what if they make a mistake and lose their jobs?

Therefore, things that should have been thoroughly inquired about for safety reasons were simply glossed over.

"They should be glad we're here today, otherwise this hotel would be in serious trouble!"

Exusiai had already maintained her Rapid-Fire Gun and proudly aimed it at the doorway, assuming a firing stance. However, the guys outside hadn't made their move yet, so she had to suppress her excitement.

"No matter what problems arise, won't they be the ones pushed to take the blame? Okay, let's try to keep the conflict small. I'll mark the targets for Exusiai, and the others just need to ensure Exusiai's output environment."

As Su Rui was speaking, Vulpisfoglia, standing beside him, smiled and asked, "I remember, Su Rui, didn't you really like big events?"

"... These are two different things. I like big events, but I don't want these people to be affected because of us. There's no conflict between them. Besides, we're not the only ones staying in this hotel. If the scene is too big, the potential harm will be greater."

As the targets in her Scanning Vision began to move and gradually approached, Exusiai n't help but tense up, taking a deep breath and gripping her Rapid-Fire Gun tightly.

Although Su Rui would mark those targets, Exusiai herself would ultimately have to handle the design process.

Therefore, her breathing inevitably began to quicken.

In close-quarters combat indoors, using a handgun or revolver is actually more convenient.

However, Exusiai's Rapid-Fire Gun isn't particularly long, making it quite suitable for close-quarters combat in confined spaces.

Soon, after they gathered together, the guys went upstairs via the staircases on both sides of the hotel and two elevators.

But what they certainly didn't expect was that someone knew about their hastily devised plan, and that these lambs to the slaughter in their eyes were sharpening their claws, preparing to deliver a fatal blow.

Elevators are faster than stairs, but these idiots don't realize this, so there are intervals between them reaching the same floor.

Even the arrival times of their elevators differed by about two or three seconds.

Su Rui marked the situation inside the elevator they were about to reach in Exusiai's field of vision, and also indicated the angle from which she should shoot.

Therefore, Exusiai stands to the side and slightly in front of the elevator door, so that when the elevator opens, the people inside won't see her immediately, but she can still visually target and fire.

As the number indicating the elevator's floor drew ever closer to her own, Exusiai held her breath and, after a "ding," immediately gripped her gun tightly.

The elevator doors opened a crack, and the people inside were already swaying as they prepared to get out.

As the target came into view, Su Rui gave the signal. Accompanied by the muffled sounds of gunfire, the people in the elevator fell to the ground before they could react.

The people in the other elevator seemed to have heard the noise and became alert, but they just looked around, seemingly unsure of what they were wary of.

Just a few seconds later, the second elevator arrived at this floor and opened with a ding.

The people inside got smarter and rushed out of the elevator.

However, their speed is far too slow compared to the Originium-Etched Bullets and Exusiai's reaction time.

Just as they rushed out of the elevator, Exusiai's Rapid-Fire Gun took them out one by one.

It looks like they accidentally twisted their ankles while rushing out, and then one by one they fell to the ground and began to enjoy a peaceful sleep.

In less than a minute, more than a dozen armed men in the two elevators lost their lives.

Rapid-Fire Gun are really useful.

Even Exusiai n't help but feel a little smug. However, Su Rui quickly marked the people on both sides who had heard the noise and were running towards them down the stairs in her field of vision. Before they arrived, she used Exusiai's phone to warn them:

"They're coming up the stairs from both sides, be careful."

Volume 3, Chapter 169: I fell asleep immediately.

"Not bad marksmanship~" Seeing Exusiai's excellent performance, Su Rui Exusiai proudly puffed out her chest and said loudly, "Of course, I'm Sankta! I'm invincible when it comes to shooting!"

Meanwhile, in her mind, unheard by others, Exusiai curiously asked, ' Su Rui, you seem to like shooting too, want to switch with me?'

"... No, let's switch bodies after the mission and I can have some fun. My shooting accuracy is terrible."

Su Rui is the kind of person who lacks quick reflexes but still enjoys the thrill of shooting down enemies with a big gun.
