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

Using the map that scanned the field of vision, Su Rui avoided the sight of the security personnel and stealthily climbed to the top of the city hall, looking down at the security personnel below.

Standing on high ground made aiming easier, and with an open area below, Su Rui set up his gun and aimed before he could even see it.

At this distance, a slight flick of the wrist is all it takes to take down everyone in sight, one by one.

It's somewhat similar to the auto-aiming smart weapon in 2077, except that Suri's bullets don't curve.

Taking a deep breath, Su Rui ejected from the cover: "It's noon."

Volume 4, Chapter 241: Nowhere to Escape

The sound of the rapid-fire guns was not harsh to Su Rui's ears; rather, it was rhythmic and pleasant, like the sound of a typewriter.

Bullets rained down like iron, or perhaps like children's marbles?

However, this marble is a little too powerful.

In less than ten seconds, Su Rui fired over thirty shots, knocking down all the security personnel in his sight.

Well, it might be a bit gory, after all, to prevent them from screaming, Suri only hits them in the eyes or temples.

After putting away his repeating pistol, Su Rui flipped down, cushioning his fall at the edge of the window before jumping to the ground.

After glancing at the bodies lying on the ground, Su Rui gently pushed open the door.

That's how the struggle for the crown prince position is; it's either you die or I die.

A slight smile crept onto Su Rui's lips as he strode down the corridor. There was no need to check the surveillance cameras, since both the cameras and communication equipment were under his control.

The security personnel who could not be contacted normally could not be called for backup no matter how many times they were called, and Su Rui could only deal with them one by one.

Although there were many etching bullets, Su Rui was still very restrained, considering that he might need them later. He did not use any spraying or firing methods such as two shots to the body and one shot to the head.

With his abilities, all he needs to do is ensure a perfect hit to the brain.

As they continued forward through the corridors of the city hall, they saw that no matter how far away Suri's security guards were, they were all knocked to the ground by the etched bullets that pierced through the glass.

No one was able to send a message at all; they only heard a piercing noise when they tried to call, and Su Rui had already dealt with them before they could even check the equipment.

After dealing with the security guards blocking his way, Suri walked through the bright corridor that had become quiet after the gunfire, shooting as he went, and gradually arrived at Cronin's location.

Along the way, Su Rui didn't even stop. Enemies who appeared in front of him or to his side were instantly shot down by Su Rui's bullets. Enemies who appeared behind him were a little more troublesome. Su Rui had to turn around and find the right moment to aim at their heads while turning.

Overall, it was quite easy.

Since acting alone doesn't require much consideration, Suri acted much faster than Saria and the others. By the time Saria and the others arrived, the city hall of Siesta was already littered with corpses.

This word might not be the most appropriate, but if you walk a few steps and see several security guards lying motionless on the ground, that's roughly the idea.

Saria frowned, exchanged a glance with the Doctor, and subconsciously called for Suri to open the scanning field of view.

"Ok?"

Just then, Su Rui rushed into Cronin's office, stood at the door and fired bursts of fire into the room with a repeating pistol, taking down any security personnel who appeared at his firing angle.

As for why he didn't rush in... Su Rui's physical skills weren't that strong, and he couldn't deal with those guys hiding behind the door immediately.

"Who are you? Where is the security outside?"

Cronin pushed up his square-framed glasses, frowning as he looked at the handsome young man standing in front of him. At this moment, he could no longer be tempted by good looks, after all, he seemed to be in mortal danger.

Suri didn't answer Cronin's question because he was currently busy with three lines of thought.

First, use the rapid-fire gun to take out the few security guards who appear in your field of vision, as well as those who flank you.

Seeing Cronin staring at his fallen subordinate with a surprised look, and confirming that there were no other survivors besides Cronin, Suri breathed a slight sigh of relief and answered Saria's question:

"I've already activated the scanning vision. By the way, just come directly to Cronin's office. I've taken care of almost all the enemies and they're in Cronin's office now. I've already marked the route."

Then, a marked route appeared before Saria's eyes, along with a reminder from Suri:

"By the way, I was in a bit of a rush at the time, since I wanted to get there before you, so I didn't clean the building thoroughly. There might be some strays that got away, so you have to be careful."

Saria looked at the few survivors left besides them in the scanned field of vision, and paused for a moment: "Suri... let's go over there now."

Isn't Suri a bit too extreme? Why not just knock these security personnel unconscious?

Saria was a little confused, but now was not the time to talk about it. She would find a time later to discuss it with Suri.

As for Suri, facing Cronin who dared not move under the aim of his rapid-fire gun, he said nothing, simply listening to Cronin's attempts to beg for mercy to pass the time.

"You're the kind of mercenary who gets paid, right? Listen, I'll give you money if you let me go, double the price, how about it? Let me go."

"No, I'm not the kind of mercenary who gets paid. I like to have fun."

Suri shook her head: "You just need to stay here, at least that way you won't die directly."

Cronin paused for a moment, then slowly backed away, attempting to jump out of the window. However, as he retreated, Su Rui had already sensed his intention, pointing the muzzle of his rapid-fire gun downwards, and the engraved bullets immediately embedded themselves in Cronin's two calves.

The two gunshots in the quiet environment quickly attracted the attention of those outside. The door that Su Rui had just closed behind him was suddenly opened with a loud bang, startling him.

Cronin, wincing in pain from being hit in both calves by Suri's rapid-fire gun, mistook it for one of his men and immediately shouted with his eyes closed, "Grab him! Stop him from firing!"

However, after he shouted, all that could be heard was the sound of footsteps entering the room, but no fighting or gunfire.

Cronin, somewhat puzzled, forced himself to open his eyes despite the pain, and then saw Suri holding a rapid-fire gun, Saria and the Doctor beside Suri, as well as Ceylon and Black.

At this moment, Su Rui finally realized what was happening and elbowed Saria in the stomach, saying irritably, "Why were you in such a hurry just now? You scared me."

Suri hadn't used much force to begin with, and with Saria's superior physical abilities, the elbow strike had no effect whatsoever. Saria simply reached out and pinched Suri's cheek, keeping a close eye on Cronin to prevent him from escaping: "I'm just a little worried about you."

"It's impossible for me to be in any danger."

Suri rolled her eyes in annoyance, then looked at Cronin in front of her and shouted, "Alright, stop hiding, mayor of Siesta? If you don't come out, I'll kill Cronin."

Saria glanced at the scanned view with some confusion, only to realize that the few points of light she had initially thought were Cronin's security personnel were actually the mayor of Siesta.

Volume 4, Chapter 242: A Speech with Little Audience

Suri's shouts also caught Ceylon's attention. The girl looked up in surprise and looked around. Then she saw Mayor Siesta and his men appear from behind a wall after it had been smashed.

The mayor paused for a moment, then looked at Su Rui and nodded to him:

"Thank you for your help to Siesta... However, there is really no need to threaten me with this traitor's life."

Moreover, it didn't really matter to him whether Cronin lived or died, since he was already a traitor.

"I don't care about that." Suri put away his rapid-fire pistol and shrugged. "As long as I can get you out here, that's fine. After all, you need to come out and take charge of sorting out the current situation. By the way, Rhodes Island helped us a lot this time, don't forget to thank us... *sobs*..."

Suri wanted to continue speaking, but the doctor reached out and covered his mouth. To prevent Suri from having a chance, she even put her fingers into Suri's mouth and pinched his tongue.

Then, the Doctor turned to the mayor of Siesta: "Rhodes Island's help to Siesta is not for any reward. It just happened to be there."

"That's natural, but gratitude is also essential."

The mayor started exchanging pleasantries with the doctor. Suri rolled her eyes, grabbed the doctor's wrist, pulled away from her grasp, then gently nudged Saria and whispered to her:

"Shall we go outside? This conversation is so boring."

Although Suri spoke very softly, the Terrans present all had excellent hearing. Ceylon glanced at her somewhat speechless father, and couldn't help but smile. She turned to look at Black and found that she was smiling too. Noticing Ceylon's gaze, Black turned her head away, avoiding the gaze of others.

Saria glanced at Suri with a hint of helplessness, then greeted the Doctor and Mayor Siesta: "In that case, I'll take Suri out. You two can continue your conversation."

With that, Saria grabbed Suri's wrist and started walking outside, silently wondering, "Why didn't you just tell me this telepathically?"

"Of course it's because it's fun this way. Didn't you see how interesting their expressions were? That's the effect we wanted."

Suri smirked smugly and winked at Saria: "Let's go, we still have plenty of time today, let's go have some fun."

"Didn't you already issue an evacuation warning? I see tourists and Siesta residents evacuating. Aren't we going to join them?"

"That evacuation alert was just in case. In fact, the factor of a volcanic eruption has been ruled out. At most, there might be a minor situation. The evacuation alert was issued to prevent any fools from actually running to see it and getting killed by the flowing lava."

As Suri spoke, she reached out and grabbed Saria's wrist: "Let's go. While we're here, we can enjoy some time in this empty, well-functioning city without anyone bothering us."

“Okay, where are we going?” Although Saria was still a little worried, she followed Suri’s lead. Then Suri noticed her hesitation, turned to look at her, and said with an annoyed expression, hands on his hips:

"Alright, don't worry. My system has unlimited storage capacity. I can put anything in it except living things. Even if the volcano really erupts, I can confiscate all the lava and volcanic ash."

"Really? That's an amazing ability." A look of surprise and delight flashed in Saria's eyes.

"Right? Wait a moment, I'll go find the destination."

"Where are we going?" Saria asked, somewhat puzzled, as she watched Suri deep in thought.

"Of course we're going to the beer hall! I think there should be one here. By the way, we're not just going to one place. Saria, you can tell me where you want to go."

"Speaking of which, why did you choose a beer hall?"

Seria was a little confused. She remembered that Suri wasn't particularly fond of alcohol, but was interested in ice cream with alcohol.

"Because it's fun. Okay, stop asking so many questions. I found it. Let's go." Suri pulled Saria all the way to the beer hall, then pressed her down to a seat by the window where she could see the bar counter, and made her sit there.

Then, Suri went to the bar by herself, smiled at Saria, and asked, "What would you like to drink?"

"A beer, please." Perhaps Suri just wanted to experience the feeling of a simulation management game? Saria had also recently looked into some video games and felt her guess was probably close to the truth.

Then she saw Suri place a large glass of beer in front of her and then go back to the bar, where she poured herself a glass of beer, held it in her hand, but didn't drink it.

"I don't think the world should be like this... Do you know how much a loaf of bread costs these days? Five hundred thousand marks! That much money can't even fit in a single carriage!"

Seria was stunned because Suri's speech was very energetic, but she couldn't understand the language Suri was speaking; she could only feel that Suri's pronunciation was very powerful.

After glancing at the translation in the scanned field of vision, Seria finally understood that Suri was speaking Letania (a variant of German).

Was this some kind of play being performed? Seria was puzzled, but that didn't stop her from raising a glass with Suri after her speech.

"Is this some kind of play?" Saria asked, looking at Suri who was struggling to breathe after her speech.

"Well... after I actually finished the presentation, I felt it wasn't that interesting. Maybe it was because not many people were there to support me? Or maybe it was because there wasn't a suitable background."

Suri was a little out of breath; she had indeed put in a lot too much effort during her speech.

Saria didn't seem to care much. She sat down next to Suri and gently scratched the back of Suri's hand with her fingers as a gesture of comfort and encouragement.

However, this teasing gesture, the softness and slight itching from the back of her hand, sparked other ideas in Suri.

Suri grabbed Saria's wrist, put down the beer she'd barely drunk, leaned closer to her, and spoke with a seductive tone:

"You know that because of the emergency evacuation, no one here can come back today, right? It's sunny outside, and the beer hall is empty except for you and me... Doesn't Saria want to do something?"

“I didn’t expect you to like this.” Saria smiled in surprise, but did not reject Suri’s approach. Instead, she reached out and took the beer glass that Suri had put down, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Do you drink to give yourself courage?"

“After all, this is quite a bold thing to do,” Saria said, pressing down on Suri’s hands and waist.

Volume 4, Chapter 243: The Turntable of the Higher System

Suri and Seria, watching the sun shining brightly on the street outside the beer hall, fought until dusk was almost over.

Looking at the streets outside, dyed red by the sunset, Saria and Suri finally stopped to rest.

Saria even had the leisure to pick up a beer, embrace Suri who was leaning against her, and drink while admiring the sunset outside.

However, Suri noticed something was wrong, but because of the long battle with Saria, he was a little dizzy and couldn't remember for a moment.

After glancing at the notes he had marked in the corner of his field of vision, Su Rui realized what was going on and looked up to ask:

"You seem a bit off, Saria. If it were the usual you, you would definitely hesitate for a moment, and I would have to work hard to persuade you to do this in the beer hall. But now you seem to have encountered some problem. Could it be the higher-ups..."

"Yes, the higher-level system says your time to stay by my side is almost up."

As Saria spoke, she reached out and pinched Suri's cheek, then nodded.

"...No wonder, I was wondering why you agreed to my capricious request so readily."

Su Rui was somewhat dissatisfied: "That old man from the higher-up system, couldn't he have told me about this? It's always like this, it's really baffling me."

Su Rui hesitated for a moment, then asked with trepidation, "So, how much time do we have left?"

"If we didn't have so little time left, would I have agreed to such a capricious request? What would I normally do?"

Saria reached out and pinched Suri's cheek. Sensing Saria's melancholy, Suri didn't shake her head and shook off Saria's fingers: "You usually scold me and then try to teach me to be well-behaved... I also want to say that I will not follow the rules."

"Yes, this is the Suri I know."

Saria nodded without saying much, simply holding Suri and looking out at the streets dyed red in the twilight.

"The setting sun is like blood...it's a pity it's not real blood." Suri also loved the scenery at this moment. He leaned back against Saria's chest, bringing his face close to hers.

"Come on, smile, let's remember this moment. Of course, we might meet again in the future, so don't be so sad."
