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

"Okay, I'll set off right now. After all, you're the boss."

Lappland smiled, stood up, and followed the route given by Suri to find the location of the rebuke.

However, Lappland also had a question: "Why isn't the intelligence this time real-time location? The intelligence you gave the minister before wasn't like this; did the technology regress within a day?"

"That's because showing you the real-time location is useless now. If you can't get to that location before the time I give you, the Scourge will leave to do other things, so there's no need to show you the real-time location."

Suri said irritably, highlighting the time point on Lappland's phone:

"Don't be late, you actually have plenty of time right now."

It was clear that Lappland got into the car he had found, and instead of hanging up on Suri, he started chatting with him:

"So, how have you been in Wolcinny these past few days? Have you had a good time?"

"We've only been here for two days. We were attacked by a bomb shortly after we arrived on the first day. Honeysuckle killed the perpetrator, and we've been staying in the hotel ever since. But after Honeysuckle wakes up, I plan to take her and Linglan to see the opera."

"Is it the new play 'Death of Texas'?"

"Of course, only this play is interesting enough to capture my attention."

In reality, Suri was only attracted by the gimmick and wanted to see what Syracuse thought of the Texas family.

"Then I look forward to your insightful opinion."

Lappland smiled mysteriously and, while chatting with Suri, arrived at the target location given by Suri.

With Suri's help, Lappland arrived early in the back seat of the car carrying the accuser, quietly waiting for her arrival.

However, in order to prevent the culprit from discovering anything in advance, Lappland hid directly in the gap under the car seat where he could put his feet.

"Although your sudden appearance in the back seat looks cool, the way you hide is indeed a bit ugly."

"As long as the method works, there's no need to overthink it. For an assassin, killing the target is of course the most important thing. The elegance of the mafia in movies is just a cover-up for filth and evil."

Lappland lowered her voice and chatted with Suri. On the real-time map on her phone, she could see that Chi Zui had finished his work and was about to get into his car.

"Don't speak now, or you'll be found out." Lappland mouthed this to Suri, then saw Suri give her a thumbs-up on her phone in response.

Back in his car, Chi Zui sat in the driver's seat and took a deep breath. That's how it is in Vorsini, no, in Syracuse. Judges face too many obstacles, and figuring out the facts is a luxury.

Of course, for the other judges besides those who acquitted the defendants, there was also the risk to their lives.

Because for judges without connections, it was far too easy for the Syracuse Mafia to manipulate them.

After all, once the judge leaves the courtroom, he can't stop those family members who are dissatisfied with the verdict from wanting to meet in person, can he?

He took money from his family and deliberately sentenced some innocent people. When he went out, he might be stabbed to death by desperate people.

He refused to accept money from the family and delivered a fair judgment, but he might be killed by family members who were already prepared after he left the house.

Although in most cases there is no such dilemma, judges only need to accept the threats from the Mafia families and release the Mafia members who have committed crimes without even receiving money.

After sighing, Chizui looked up and was suddenly startled to see the white-haired Rupert woman sitting behind her.

Before Rebuke could react, Lappland's sword was already at her neck.

"...What is your purpose?" Chi Zui took a deep breath, trying to remain calm.

"I don't have any particular purpose, I just want to warn you, Madam, that there are some things that even you can find dangerous if you investigate them casually. After all, some people don't care about the family that's backing you up. If they get desperate, you'll be in danger too."

"...I know, I've seen quite a few already, thanks for reminding me."

Volume 7, Chapter 430: Calling to Collect the Corpse

After threatening and rebuking her, Lappland got out of her back seat and turned to leave without saying anything more.

Looking at his phone, he saw that the person in question was looking in this direction through the rearview mirror.

Lappland asked softly, "Is that all it takes to solve the problem? How do you know she won't become even more suspicious of you after the warning? This judge doesn't seem like the type to be threatened."

"Actually, you are the most suspicious Lappland. Although you didn't leave any evidence, your presence by her side at this time is enough to prove that you have a problem."

Lappland shrugged. "Maybe you're right, but I'm used to it. It's just how I am, isn't it?"

The investigation into the murderer will take some time. No family will let the person behind the scenes get away with it. However, these guys are more focused on continuing to fight for the interests of New Vorsini than on revenge.

"Remember not to go too far. Follow her quietly. The judge is a nice person. Be careful she doesn't get assassinated later."

"You want to protect her? Just because she's trying to uphold a meaningless justice in Syracuse?"

Lappland raised an eyebrow: "What if I stab her?"

"Her being alive would be bad for those families, and even a major obstacle. It's up to you to decide."

Suri answered Lappland's question casually; what to do next was up to her.

"...In that case, let her live. You told me not to go too far, wasn't it to protect her?"

A smile involuntarily flashed in Lappland's eyes; she was more than willing to do anything that would cause trouble for her family.

As Lappland turned her attention to her phone, she saw the information that Suri had displayed.

"Oh, that's really interesting. I hope our judge won't hold a grudge against me for this."

"She probably won't pursue your issue, but it will likely be difficult for her to remain friendly towards you."

That kind of thing didn't matter to Lappland, so she just smiled indifferently, then turned around and quietly hid in the dark corridor.

After a fruitless investigation and being threatened by Lappland, Cixi did not give up her work but returned to her workplace, the courthouse.

Lappland followed behind her, occasionally hiding as Suri reminded him, and strolled into the workplace as if taking a leisurely walk.

"This is the guy. He's holding a dagger, hidden in his sleeve. I bet he'll accidentally cut himself when he tries to draw it. What a clumsy fellow. Does the family actually use this method to assassinate others?"

Suri's voice came from the phone. Lappland carefully held the phone to her ear so that Suri's voice would be quiet and not be heard by others.

Suri's words made Lappland, as a member of the mafia, feel somewhat embarrassed. Lappland then curled her lip in disdain.

"Of course not. We in the Mafia have our own rules. This method of forcing unrelated people to become hitmen is clumsy and inferior. Moreover, such people lack experience, and as you said, all sorts of accidents can easily happen."

As Lappland spoke, she quickly caught up with Chizui from behind, avoiding Chizui's movements to prevent Chizui from suddenly attacking her.

Lapland's sudden appearance startled Chizuru, as did her colleagues in front of her.

Before they could react, Lappland had already swiftly plunged the blade of her sword into the abdomen of the amateur assassin.

It could have been a one-hit kill, but Suri suggested that letting the assassin say a few more words would be more effective, so Lappland did just that.

Noticing Lappland's rebuke, he turned and glared angrily at the man who had stabbed his colleague: "Is this a warning to me? What exactly do you want? This has nothing to do with them!"

"Don't be nervous, this matter can't be considered unrelated to him."

Lappland smiled and slightly distanced herself from the assassin, using the blade of her sword to lift the sleeve of the amateur assassin's left hand, which Suri had warned her about earlier, revealing a small knife inside:

"Take a look at this, and you'll know what happened."

"..." Chi Zui glanced warily at Lappland, then bent down and took the small knife from the amateur assassin's hand:

"This is a small knife used by family assassins. What's going on?"

Faced with the questioning gaze of the assassin, and Lappland's ambiguous smile that suggested she knew everything, the amateur assassin sighed deeply and looked at the assassin:

“I am no longer a judge. My family has given me a condition that I must do something, such as your life.”

This man was clearly forced into becoming an assassin; he hadn't even considered how he was going to carry out his plan. After being subdued by Lappland, he became surprisingly talkative.

“I didn’t know what to choose… So, I was originally thinking of letting you do it in front of me. Fortunately, this assassin helped me with this… I don’t ask anything else from you, but at least, please take care of my family occasionally.”

"Stop talking. Your wound isn't serious. If you go to the hospital now, there's still hope."

He tried to lift his colleague up and then looked to Lappland, who was watching the scene with her arms crossed, for help:

"Stop looking and come help me!"

"No, don't waste your energy, Chizui." Chizui's wrist was gripped, and the dying assassin coughed up blood as he spoke:

"If I were still alive, things would be difficult for both sides. So let it be. At least my family is safe. Fortunately, I didn't go against my conscience. Although I accepted their employment, I didn't cause any bad consequences."

Caught in a dilemma, he could only put his colleague on the ground again.

"Is there anything we can do in this situation? Like, at least make his death a little easier?"

Suri's voice came from the phone. He was actually very curious about how this matter would be resolved, but Lappland didn't seem to be planning to make any response.

Upon hearing Su Rui's voice, Chi Zui looked up in confusion, but since Su Rui's voice had been altered, she didn't recognize her.

Lappland casually offered a somewhat cruel answer: "The best course of action now is to wait until she dies and then call someone to collect her body, or wait for the family that coerced her to come and deal with it."

Volume 7, Chapter 431: Let's Go to the Opera

While he hesitated to reprimand, his colleague, who had fallen to the ground, had already stopped breathing.

Chi Zui stood up with a complicated expression and looked at Lappland: "...Thank you for reminding me."

"No need to thank me. After all, your survival is also good for me. Just focus on attracting the attention of those families, and be careful, as many people want you dead."

After saying that, Lappland walked past the Scold. Since Suri had already spoken to the Scold's face, she no longer bothered to hide her words as she spoke into the phone:

"Alright, I've done what you asked for, and I've protected this person. Is there anything else you need me to do?"

"No, not now. One morning, the answer to the question of who owns New Vorsini will be announced. By the way, some creatures you may only have heard of in the stock market will step onto the stage in a fit of rage."

"Really? Then I'll have to look forward to it."

Lappland let out a few somewhat extreme laughs, then left the courthouse under the watchful gaze of the accuser, leaving the accuser staring thoughtfully at her retreating figure.

"..." After seeing off her colleague's reprimand, she took a deep breath and decided to find something to do to distract herself. It would definitely not be easy to figure out the current situation, but if she continued to suffer setbacks, she would definitely break down.

The opera house just happened to be showing a new opera, so I decided to go and kill some time.

Meanwhile, on Su Rui's side, Ren Dong finally woke up from her deep sleep after staying up all night.

When she came out of the bedroom, rubbing her slightly messy hair, Suri and Suzuran were having lunch.

"Mom's awake? We didn't prepare any for you. Have some first, we'll order right away."

The thoughtful Lily of the Valley immediately got up after seeing Honeysuckle and wanted to walk towards the phone to tell the front desk to send up some more lunch, but Su Rui stopped her.

“We ordered quite a lot of food, so let Honeysuckle eat first. I’m already making a call.”

"Okay." Although she didn't see Su Rui take out his phone, Linglan knew that her father had special abilities, so she just nodded obediently and watched Ren Dong sit in front of her and Su Rui, continuing to eat her lunch obediently.

"What time is it now... It's 12:30 PM. Do you have any plans for the afternoon?"

"We didn't have any plans for coming here, but I'm thinking of going to see an opera this afternoon. Would you like to come along?"

"The opera house you mentioned before, the one in Texas?"

"correct."

Honeysuckle nodded, while Lily of the Valley stared wide-eyed at Suri: "Is Aunt Texas here too?"

"Of course, but Texas came here because she got a job at the airport, so she came along as a bodyguard. If you happen to run into her, Suzuran, please remember to say hello."

"Well, I see."

After lunch, Ren Dong and Su Rui took Ling Lan to the parking lot behind the hotel.

As Su Rui walked toward the car, she gently pushed aside Ren Dong and sat in the driver's seat, causing Ren Dong to awkwardly reach out and grab Su Rui's wrist.

"Honey, leave the driving to me. You can just sit in the back with Linglan."

It's best not to let Suri drive as she pleases.

Suri shook her head, gently grasped Honeysuckle's wrist, then picked up Lily of the Valley beside her and placed her in Honeysuckle's arms.

"No need, just take care of Linglan and sit in the back. I'll drive fine."

With that, Su Rui climbed into the driver's seat, then turned to Ren Dong and urged her:

"Alright, hurry up. I didn't have any problems when I drove back with Lily of the Valley before."

Having never witnessed Suri's true driving skills, Linglan twitched her ears in Rendong's arms with some doubt and turned to ask Rendong:

"Yes, Mom looks very tired. It's fine to leave the driving to Dad."

Honeysuckle just smiled helplessly, then sat in the back seat with Lily of the Valley in her arms, and said with a hint of resignation:

"That's because before it was just you and him, and Su Rui didn't drive so carelessly. Now that I'm protecting you, he'll start driving carelessly again."

Lily of the Valley didn't quite understand Honeysuckle's worries, and just blinked in confusion, while Suri defended herself with some dissatisfaction:

"I just hadn't gotten the hang of driving before, and my driving skills will gradually improve."
