Ark Simulator, don't I have no physical form?

Author: Partner of Justice%

Introduction:

Unexpectedly, one day when I woke up, I found myself in the world of Arknights, and had become a simulator system that was choosing hosts everywhere.

"Wait a minute, why can't I choose my own host? What the heck is this 'superior system'?"

Su Rui was somewhat confused about his current situation, but as a simulator system, he could help the host play on behalf of others in special moments.

Wow~ "It looks a bit like Gundam, and I can even find different mobile suits. Let's do it!"

The first host is the assassin fox spirit codenamed Honeysuckle and named Ingrid. Fantastic! Come and become my machine!

Because there is no physical entity, when Su Rui communicates with the simulator system or helps with leveling, her behavior is rather, well, indulgent.

In short, "Since I have no physical form, what can you do to me?"

Faced with Su Rui's provocation, Ren Dong simply smiled mysteriously, a cryptic glint in her eyes.

One day, in a shrine in the Eastern Kingdom, looking bewildered at her reflection as a nine-tailed fox boy in the mirror, Suri turned with a hint of panic to look at Ingrid, who was approaching her with a sinister grin:

"Don't come any closer! Didn't the higher-level system say I don't have a physical body?"

"Darling, let's have a baby together!" Honeysuckle smiled and hugged Suri.

Volume 1: 1 Honeysuckle: Ingrid

Early in the morning, in the Venetian family of Vorcinni, a blonde Volper woman sitting in the family meeting room listening to the patriarch speak frowned somewhat uncomfortably.

She was enduring the inexplicable "noise" in her mind; a boy's voice inexplicably appeared in her head, making Ingrid somewhat impatient.

However, she was still in the middle of a family meeting and couldn't just get up and leave. So she could only support her cheek with one hand and endure the noise.

Meanwhile, the system in Ingrid's mind, Suri, has not yet accepted the reality that she has already sent it.

"Wait a minute, wasn't I playing games at home? How did I suddenly end up here? And what the heck is this 'superior system'?"

The so-called higher-level system did not respond to Su Rui's question at all. It was just like a simple task notification bar, which only displayed the task to Su Rui and then did not respond any further.

As the simulator system, you will appear in Terra at different times and help your hosts solve the problems they face.

'I don't necessarily have to help her, do I? I don't think I've promised anything. I won't do anything that involves forcing someone to buy or sell something.'

Su Rui looked at the task prompt from the higher-level system with some impatience, but the other party neither agreed nor disagreed, and it really seemed to be just a program flowchart.

"Hey, is your name Ingrid? You can hear me, right?"

As the voice named Suri began to communicate with her in her mind, Ingrid twitched her furry ears helplessly. She really didn't want to pay attention to this simulator system that had suddenly appeared in her mind.

Because the other party was just too noisy.

But Suri didn't care about any of that. He wasn't happy about being conscripted anyway, so he simply started a conversation with Ingrid:

"I know you can hear my voice, and you only need to think in your mind to talk to me. Answer my questions quickly, or I will continue to make a racket in your mind."

'I understand, so what are you trying to say?'

Ingrid was annoyed by Suri's rude attitude. She glanced at the system's materialization progress record of 0%, which was visible only to her, and thought to herself that if Suri could materialize, she would definitely let him see the power of a Venetian family assassin.

"Don't be so reluctant. I didn't become part of your system voluntarily. In short, we're in the same boat now. I'll help you if you encounter any problems later."

What can you do?

Although she didn't like the voice that had just been making a racket in her head, Ingrid still held onto a sliver of hope as she inquired about Suri's abilities.

Su Rui paused for a moment: "Wait a minute, let me see what I have in my hand."

Then Suri began to carefully examine her control panel, relaying each item to Ingrid:

"I can help you detect the enemy, gather intelligence, and provide treatment."

'My family members can do these things too.' So is this a useless system?

Ingrid found it somewhat amusing, anticipating how this arrogant system would react. In such a dull family meeting, having someone to chat with was quite nice.

"Are you called Su Rui? I'll just call you that."

"Don't interrupt, wait for me."

Suri was currently sulking because of Ingrid's words and was determined to show her just how comprehensive her abilities were compared to the so-called family:

"I'll be right there."

As he spoke, Su Rui consulted the instruction manual in the system space, and then activated the scanning system according to the steps:

"See? This is the detection system. It's far more powerful than any intelligence your family can provide, isn't it?"

As Suri spoke, a three-dimensional interface composed of lines appeared in Ingrid's field of vision, or rather, everything was transformed into a simplified three-dimensional model from her perspective.

Now, Ingrid can clearly see all the routes, dangerous people, and details that need attention, such as surveillance cameras or weapons that are readily available.

Ingrid noticed that Little Venice, who was sitting not far from her, was carrying a weapon that was not allowed in the conference room, and she also saw someone secretly looking down at their phone.

I never expected you could do all that.

The fact that a simple scanning function could achieve this level of capability made Ingrid, an assassin, realize just how terrifying Suri's abilities were, and she couldn't help but take Suri seriously.

However, her expression was naturally somewhat unusual when she was talking to Su Rui, and these unusual expressions were noticed by Mr. Venice, who was sitting in the main seat.

"Ingrid, what are your thoughts on this matter?"

"Ok?"

Ingrid, who had been chatting with Suri, paused for a moment, instinctively perked up her furry ears, and looked somewhat flustered at Mr. Venice in the main seat.

She had been chatting with Suri and hadn't noticed what Mr. Venice was saying at all. And family meetings in Syracuse are usually not conducted like companies do, where documents are distributed.

However, just as Ingrid was about to humbly admit her mistake, Suri's voice rang in her ear:

"He's talking about Midar, the family head who's always been at odds with the Venetian family. My suggestion is to just get rid of him. You can handle it."

As Suri's voice rang out, Ingrid's vision also saw the task prompt marked by Suri.

Immediately, feeling much more at ease, Ingrid directly expressed her "own" opinion based on the information Suri had given her:

“I think Midar just wants to blackmail us to boost his own prestige. His family’s power is no match for ours, and he probably thinks we won’t go to war with him over such trivial matters.”

[Pause here briefly, wait for the old Venetian to ask a question, then just say you can handle that guy.]

Ingrid paused at Suri's request, but she was still somewhat dissatisfied with Suri's wording:

'Mr. Venice, that's what you should call him.'

"What does it have to do with me? They can't hear me anyway, and I don't want to remember their troublesome names. By the way, I'll call you Honeysuckle from now on."

'I have a name, my name is Ingrid.'

Suri ignored Honeysuckle's protest and urged her, "Alright Honeysuckle, Old Venice is going to ask you some questions, be prepared."

Honeysuckle suddenly snapped out of her daze and looked into the eyes of the old... Mr. Venice:

"Then, Ingrid, do you have any good ideas?"

Volume 1: 2 Can we kill them all?

They're nothing but a bunch of worthless scoundrels; I only need to make a slight move, and I can wipe them all out!

Ren Dong glanced at the subtitles Su Rui had displayed in her field of vision, but instead of saying what Su Rui had suggested, she used her usual wording:

"I think it's not difficult to resolve this matter. Just leave it to me, and I will teach them a profound lesson."

“Very well, then I’ll leave this matter to you, Ingrid.”

Mr. Venice nodded, smiling as he looked at the girl he was taking care of like his own daughter.

But at this moment, a discordant voice rang out: "Anyone can talk big, but if something goes wrong, can you take responsibility?"

The sound immediately froze the smiles on Mr. Venice's and Honeysuckle's faces.

Suri even highlighted the person who spoke in red in Honeysuckle's field of vision:

"This guy is such an eyesore, let's get rid of him!"

'This is Mr. Venice's son, his name is...'

"Alright, let's call him Little Venice."

Suri interrupted Ren Dong's introduction, directly listing more than a dozen assassination methods in her field of vision:

"I have hundreds of ways to kill him without anyone noticing, and absolutely no one will suspect you. You might even get sympathy for it. Are you in?"

"No, he is, after all, Mr. Venice's son. We just don't get along very well, it's not to that extent."

Honeysuckle silently rejected Su Rui's suggestion, even as Su Rui continued to mutter something:

"He doesn't seem like he wants to let you go." She didn't pay any attention to it, and couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

"What are you laughing at?" Su Rui was immediately drawn to Ren Dong's inexplicable laughter and began to question her with displeasure. Was she mocking me? What did I say wrong?

"Your desire to kill someone just because they've been slightly offended is childish."

Without realizing it, Ren Dong's tone became slightly teasing. Although it was only a short time they spent together, she felt that she had now figured out Su Rui's personality.

It's a bit childish, probably because as a simulator system, it can't interact with too many people?

Suri was unaware that Ren Dong had already prepared excuses for his performance, but he cared deeply about Ren Dong's evaluation:

"I'm not some child. This is called decisiveness and ruthlessness, okay? And I have the ability to remain unsuspected, which proves that I am a terrifyingly strong person!"

'This only proves that you are a child holding a terrible weapon.'

Honeysuckle chuckled lightly, ignoring Suri's rebuttal, and instead looked at Little Venice:

"Couldn't we just try it? Besides, do you have a better way?"

“You…” Little Venice, who was being questioned by Honeysuckle, immediately stopped talking, because he really didn’t have any good ideas.

Suri couldn't help but complain in Ren Dong's mind: "In the end, he's just a useless person who can only argue. What's there to be proud of?"

You're right.

Honeysuckle nodded, then looked at Mr. Venice: "Then, I'll go make preparations."

"Be careful. Even if the mission fails, make sure you stay safe."

Mr. Venice nodded to Honeysuckle and watched her leave the meeting room.

"That old Venetian is quite nice, at least he treats you very well."

'Yes, Mr. Venice took good care of me.'

A smile involuntarily crept onto Ren Dong's lips. Judging from this reaction, it seemed that with Su Rui around, life wouldn't be boring from now on.

"Gather some intelligence for me. I'm planning to pay a visit to Midar's family, but I need to do it discreetly."

As she spoke, Ren Dong returned to her room. After tidying up her weapons and attire, she did not set off immediately but instead sat on the sofa and began reading.

Suri had already displayed the map in front of her:

"What are you doing? Weren't you supposed to be assassinating him? Why are you reading a book here?"

'Operating at night is more covert and safer.'

However, Su Rui disagreed with Honeysuckle's opinion: "No, if we're going to operate at night, I'll need to use infrared vision. I don't agree."

Is infrared vision difficult for you? Or does it have any negative impact on you?

Although it was only a brief acquaintance, Ren Dong sensed the unease in Su Rui's willful tone and frowned with concern, putting down the book in her hand.

"Daytime operations are no problem either. With your intelligence and maps, I can easily infiltrate undetected."

"No, although the infrared field of view is clear at night, I don't like the image. It's not very appealing to me, and I don't want to look at it."

As Su Rui spoke, she expanded her infrared field of view, marking all the people in bright red in addition to the previous 3D image.

Honeysuckle paused for a moment: 'Isn't this quite clear? Besides, I don't see anything unpleasant about these images.'

Su Rui paused for a moment in Ren Dong's mind before slowly speaking:

"Because I don't like the night. Even though you can see it, I always feel like I can't see it clearly."
