Therefore, he usually plays single-player shooting games, since that way he doesn't have to compete with all sorts of weirdos or even cheaters.

Some games are said to be so difficult that even cheaters can't beat skilled players. A complete newbie like Su Rui, who only knows how to press the mouse and shoot, simply can't participate in those kinds of games.

This is even more true now. Although Su Rui has deduced that the Sankta's aura and physical instincts can help them aim and make shooting easy to learn.

But what if Su Rui makes a mistake? This could easily lead to errors, or even injuries to his own people.

Given the potential impact on his own manpower, Su Rui remained cautious; at the very least, he wouldn't deliberately put his people in danger.

With this in mind, Su Rui declined Exusiai's suggestion, nodding with a hint of regret: 'I thought I'd get to see Su Rui shoot.' It would definitely be cool, right?

However, although Exusiai felt regretful about Su Rui's refusal, she noticed that the System Materialization Progress in her field of vision had suddenly increased by about ten percentage points.

It seems Su Rui really liked her suggestion; even though he declined, he was still happy.

Thinking of this, Exusiai's initial regret suddenly lifted, and she was about to unleash her power here, letting Su Rui witness firsthand the charm of the Sankta Rapid-Fire Gun.

Then, once she gets out, she can once again significantly boost Su Rui's System Materialization Progress!

Seeing that the System Materialization Progress had reached 46%, Exusiai n't help but smile.

At this moment, enemies were already rushing towards one side of the stairs, and on the other side, they were almost at the top.

But Exusiai remained calm because Su Rui spoke in her mind, "Don't fire yet. Wait until they've all rushed into the corridor, then target the person furthest away."

Su Rui wasn't going to let any troublemakers get away, so shooting the last person first would maximize the chances of no enemy escaping.

Su Rui had already gathered all the intelligence, so there was no reason for her to leave any prisoners behind.

Of course, this shooting method requires a high level of skill. Fortunately, Exusiai has the wallhack and aiming ability of Su Rui, plus her excellent shooting talent as Sankta.

As the enemy rushed into the corridor, accompanied by a burst of gunfire, they fell one by one before they had gone very far.

The one who rushed the fastest turned his head in confusion to look behind him, only to find that he was the only one left standing there.

But he didn't have time to run. When he turned around and realized his predicament, his eyes widened in fear, an Originium-Etched Bullets had already pierced his temple.

The person who rushed the fastest lost consciousness and then slid all the way to Croissant using the momentum.

"Wow, that was a really good shot! I could even see he was scared."

Croissant looked at the person lying at her feet, and involuntarily took a step back, warily raising the shield in her hand and looking towards the other side of the corridor.

Then she heard Su Rui's reminder: "Alright, there's no one over there anymore. Now there's someone approaching from the other side of the corridor. Simple, right? The enemy is being shot down like wheat. I call it harvesting."

"Harvesting lives? That sounds a bit scary~"

Croissant nodded, raised her shield, and went to the other side. Facing the corridor where people were already rushing towards them, she was about to block the attack of the fastest person when she noticed that the other person paused for a moment after seeing the scene around them, and then quickly turned around and ran back.

"Exusiai, fire!"

Seeing that they were preparing to escape, Su Rui became anxious and urged them on. Exusiai, realizing this, quickly opened fire, but she only managed to kill two of them.

Because the other party reacted with such speed that almost only three people appeared in Exusiai's line of sight.

Even with Exusiai's reaction speed, she only had time to take down two of them; the third had already taken cover behind the corner of the corridor the moment she fired.

The other party has clearly realized something is wrong and is now hiding on the other side of the corridor, arguing fiercely.

"Why are there still enemies running away? This is so troublesome. Can't they be a little braver and charge in?"

Su Rui was somewhat dissatisfied. In the games he played, most enemies would charge straight at him. Even those who knew how to maneuver would still end up getting close to him before attacking.

Unlike these guys, who hid in the back of the corridor and some even tried to slip away.

If it weren't for someone in the opposing team who could make decisions and stopped the one trying to escape, this group would probably have scattered like birds and beasts and fled by now.

"Seeing this situation, how could we not run away?" Su Rui's words Exusiai and the others speechless. Even they themselves would have chosen to retreat cautiously after seeing a bunch of people lying in the corridor, still bleeding.

However, Su Rui realized that the other party was not one of the characters in the game; although incompetent, the other party genuinely wanted to survive.

However, Su Rui had no intention of letting them escape.

"They've realized something's wrong. Approach cautiously. Croissant, Croissant the charge, raise your shield, and don't think about attacking. Leave the offensive to Exusiai."

As Su Rui spoke, she suddenly let out a strange laugh, "Hehe, I definitely won't let them live!"

"... What strange thing have you thought of this time?"

Even in such a serious setting, Vulpisfoglia couldn't help but want to cover her face in exasperation. Fortunately, although Su Rui's voice was strange, it was actually quite pleasant to listen to, so the girls just thought he was telling a joke.

Su Rui felt a little regretful; wasn't there a scenario that could push him to the brink?

That way he could say something like, "Hehe, I must survive."

Volume 3, Chapter 170: Could you please not take my weapon?

However, Exusiai still wondered to herself, "So, Su Rui, what did you mean by what you just said?"

"I just thought it would be fun. Speaking of which, if things aren't too dangerous later, I could indeed use your body to try out shooting. Why didn't I think of that before?"

Su Rui was a little confused, but he quickly changed his mind. "So, can I borrow your body for a bit later?"

"Of course, no problem!" Exusiai patted her chest, but unfortunately, because she was wearing thick clothes, this gesture didn't allow Su Rui to see any dramatic rise and fall in her chest.

This feeling is somewhat like having a top-tier player sitting next to you in a game, and when you can't beat them, you just let them take over.

Su Rui was planning his next move. If a situation arose that he couldn't handle, he would simply summon Exusiai to give his opponents a surprise attack.

Within the Scanning Vision, although the opponents were very good at dodging, they were ultimately no match for Exusiai, who had Scanning Vision of vision.

More importantly, because someone was blocking their way, their escape turned into a split-up halfway through.

The enemies went downstairs and split into two groups, intending to Exusiai and the others again.

However, in this situation, with troops being divided, some cowards were already considering fleeing.

"Damn it, what kind of brain-dead commander is this? Dividing the troops in this situation is just waiting for his men to run away!"

Su Rui complained somewhat irritably, then highlighted the guys who were planning to slip away.

"Exusiai, have Croissant help you knock on the door of 302. Remember to be quick, then you take care of those guys trying to escape through the window."

"Alright! But, will we get into trouble doing this? This is Ursus, after all."

Exusiai nodded without hesitation at first, then asked with some concern.

During this time, she had discovered that although the Holy Son was holy and gentle, he was a bit silly and acted without considering the consequences.

This is probably why "the Lord" wanted Su Rui to go out and gain experience.

Therefore, regarding some outrageous decisions, Exusiai felt it necessary to help Su Rui realize some problems, acting as a warning bell for Su Rui and reminding him not to make mistakes.

"... It will indeed be a bit troublesome, but I have acquaintances here. As long as I explain, we'll be fine. After all, this is self-defense; if they don't die, we will."

Su Rui spoke directly into her phone so everyone could hear, urging, "Croissant, smash open 302!"

"Okay!"

Unlike Exusiai, Croissant didn't think so much. She simply smiled slightly, swung the sledgehammer in her hand, and smashed the door open.

With a muffled "boom," the Ursus couple, who had just embraced and seemed about to kiss and get intimate, stared blankly as Exusiai Ursus rushed in and Vulpisfoglia up their guns at the window.

"Here is some money as a gift for you. Please stay here and keep quiet."

Vulpisfoglia glanced at the Ursus man and woman who were standing there stunned, took out a few Ursus gold coins from her pocket, placed them on the table and pushed them towards them, then continued to grip her sword tightly, remaining vigilant.

Although the people of Ursus are indeed fierce, the vast majority of them still don't have the courage to go toe-to-toe with swords when they are unarmed.

So the Ursus couple consciously shrank into the corner between the bed and the wardrobe, trying to curl up as much as possible to avoid attracting attention.

As a result, those guys who rushed into the street were also directly named and collapsed in the square outside the hotel.

The remaining few who supposedly wanted to split up were no longer a threat and were easily dealt with... well, not really dealt with, because Chernobog's guards arrived.

They surrounded the hotel, and the guys rushed out and surrendered.

No matter how arrogant Su Rui was, he wouldn't Exusiai to name the escaped guys in front of the guards, so he had no choice but to Exusiai and the others put away their weapons.

"Looks like we've really messed things up this time."

Croissant looked down at the densely packed Ursus military police and couldn't help but sigh.

Then, everyone looked at Exusiai in the middle of them. "So, Su Rui, do you have any ideas?" Vulpisfoglia asked directly.

"I've already messaged someone I know; a brief explanation should suffice."

As Su Rui spoke, she directly Croissant the weapons in Croissant's and Texas's hands into her System Space:

"They'll definitely take your weapons when they come up later. Except for Exusiai, who can't be denied, I'll keep your weapons for now."

"Hey, what about me? What if my gun gets damaged? People who don't know anything about guns might touch it and hurt its feelings."

As a Sankta, Exusiai is very protective of her gun, and she was very upset when she heard that her gun might be temporarily confiscated.

"Don't worry, I'll get it back soon, I promise."

Su Rui couldn't very well let them beat up the soldiers and police as well; after all, they were FrostNova's men, and it wouldn't be fun for family to fight each other.

However, Vulpisfoglia had an idea and looked at Exusiai: "Later, we can have Su Rui negotiate with them in Exusiai's place. As long as Su Rui says a few nice words, there shouldn't be any problem."

"That's right!" Exusiai's eyes lit up. As the person who could feel Su Rui's charm the most right now, she was very confident in Su Rui's charm. As long as Su Rui spoke, everything would be fine!

So, when Exusiai and the others disarmed themselves and went down to the plaza at the request of the Ursus military police, the nearby military police saw that Su Rui was still holding Rapid-Fire Gun and couldn't help but get nervous.

Just by looking at those fallen guys, you can tell that the person in front of you is a sharpshooter with perfect aim; if you're not careful, you might get taken out on the spot.

So, under careful encirclement, the leader of the military and police team approached Su Rui and made his demands:

"Whatever your reasons, hand over your weapons for investigation. Now, put your weapons down."

"..." Su Rui, controlling Exusiai's body, glanced at Vulpisfoglia beside her. Seeing her encouraging gaze, she took a deep breath and then looked at the person in front of her:

"Could you please not take my weapon away? I promise I won't misuse it."

"... Okay, but you'll have to act under my watchful eye."

Looking at the approachable and harmless Su Rui, the leader of the military police subconsciously agreed to Su Rui's request.

Volume 3, Chapter 171: Patriot's Rescue

When the military police leader realized what he had said, he had already spoken, and he couldn't very well go back on his word in front of so many people.

To save face, he could only cough lightly and look at Su Rui in front of him. "I'll be keeping a close eye on you, don't even think about trying anything funny."

"Yes, I know." Su Rui nodded. He didn't need to play any tricks anyway, as Patriot would be here soon.

As for FrostNova... it's best not to meet her for now. I feel it would be rather awkward to meet FrostNova now while using Exusiai's body.

Soon, the usually quiet military and police garrison welcomed a very important person... a very important person both literally and physically.

The military police leader, who had brought Su Rui and the others back before and hadn't even had a chance to hear the news, hurriedly came outside the camp, looked up at Patriot, which had almost become one of Chernobog's symbols, and cautiously inquired:

"So, Mr. Patriot, what brings you here?"

"I'm here to see someone, the person you just arrested, the main culprit in the shooting, Penguin Logistics."

Patriot the intelligence that Su Rui had sent him through his visor and relayed this information to the military police leader in front of him.

"Okay, I understand. I'll bring them out right away."

The buildings at the military and police barracks were rather low for Patriot, so he stood outside and waited.

Soon, Su Rui and Vulpisfoglia emerged from the camp together. Su Rui was still holding Exusiai's Rapid-Fire Gun in her arms, curiously looking at the weapon from left to right, like a child who had received a new toy.

Patriot the "Su Rui" before him and fell silent. Although he could recognize Su Rui at a glance from her aura, wasn't the gender a bit off?

Patriot hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Su Rui?"

"Yes, it's me. Although this appearance is a bit unusual, it really is me."

As Su Rui spoke, to improve the reliability of his statement, he even displayed it directly on Podrocasti's visor.

Patriot, who already believed the person in front of him was Su Rui, immediately nodded:

"I've heard FrostNova mention your connection with Talulah, but what are you doing here now?"

Talulah probably wouldn't be too happy to see you like this, would she?

Moreover, Patriot, judging from the personality traits Talulah had shown so far, she might forcibly keep the girl in front of her by her side for the sake of Su Rui.

Su Rui wasn't nervous at all. She just smiled and fiddled with the Rapid-Fire Gun in her hand, explaining, "We're just here to deliver a package. There's nothing particularly important to do. Don't worry."

Patriot, chatted with Su Rui for a while, and then, with his guarantee, Su Rui and the others quickly finished giving their statements and were released by the Chernobog military police.
