The patrols are frequent, and guards at different locations can monitor each other to prevent anyone from disappearing without a trace.
However, the tight guard was just a rather troublesome math problem for Su Rui and Ren Dong.
Once a suitable breakthrough is found, the entire defensive system will gradually crumble.
For example, right now, after casually strangling a guard unconscious with a rope, Honeysuckle simply snapped his neck.
"Wow, here we go! Hide him in the closet, right next to him."
Honeysuckle glanced at the cabinet, casually stuffed the person inside, and then looked at the guards marked by Su Rui:
'You're not really planning to make me stuff them all into the closet, are you?'
This isn't a game; one cabinet can't fit that many people.
"Don't worry, I've already thought about this."
Su Rui casually remarked this, and then marked a few cabinets where people could hide: "I've already investigated, and these are all the fastest routes, but is there an even faster way? I feel that strangling someone with a rope is still a bit too slow."
'If you could accurately mark the location of their carotid arteries at the back of their necks, it would indeed be faster.'
"no problem."
This request was a piece of cake for Suri.
So he casually marked the positions where he could kill with a single blow.
And so, the guards in the mansion began to disappear one by one, but they were completely unaware of it as they were watching each other.
"Speaking of which, don't these guards contact each other regularly? I haven't even detected any communication signals."
Honeysuckle paused, realizing the problem: 'If they try to communicate, do you have a solution?'
"Of course, I can directly disguise communication signals, as well as any other characteristics such as sound. I am omnipotent when it comes to anything related to networks and communication electronic devices."
Suri was very pleased with herself, but after speaking, she felt a sense of unappreciated talent.
"But the people here don't use this technology. You've built such a large mobile city and have cell phones, so why are the security personnel still so primitive?"
'Because we don't need these.'
Ren Dong smiled. Everything that existed was in line with the current situation in Syracuse. Not changing it was a good thing for maintaining the status quo, and the biggest beneficiary of maintaining the status quo was the family.
"Alright, I got it. Let's hurry up and take them out. Oh, right, I saw they were carrying daggers. It's the perfect time. I'll teach you a throwing technique."
"Are you sure? If something goes wrong, we'll be discovered." Although she questioned Su Rui, Ren Dong still picked up the knife and held it in her hand.
"Trust me, there won't be any problems. Just follow your instincts. I've marked the movements, directions, and strengths for you.
Su Rui marked the angle and guided Ren Dong's body to throw the sword in her hand.
As the dagger whistled through the air, a patrolling guard who happened to be passing by was struck by the thrown dagger and fell straight to the ground.
"Wow, it's horrific. I'm a kind-hearted person and can't bear to look at such bloody scenes."
Suri said these words in a very affected way in Ren Dong's mind, and then urged:
"Hurry up and throw him into the cabinet. The blood hasn't spilled onto the floor yet, but it will be hard to clean up later."
'I see.'
Using an angle that wouldn't let the blood spill onto the ground, Ren Dong glanced at the unfortunate man before her, whose head had been pierced through the eye by a dagger, and felt a little curious:
'Did you plan this out as well?'
"Of course, after studying your movement habits, as long as you strike the right angle and apply the right amount of force, no target can escape your attack range."
"I see," Ren Dong nodded. "Unfortunately, this kind of assassination aims for silence, and it's not suitable to use it indiscriminately when there are patrols around."
"Alright, let's hurry up and grab a few knives, then keep going."
Along the way, Honeysuckle cleaned up the place as she went, making the interior of the family mansion gradually become deserted.
The patrolmen gradually disappeared, but no one knew where they went, and no one came out to ask.
Because everyone has already been dealt with by Honeysuckle.
"To be honest, I thought you'd be worried about roles like chefs."
'These people can't get into the family's inner circle. Those who can move around here are all mafia members involved in the family's business.'
"What about cleaners and the like?"
They will complete the work under the supervision of family members and must leave immediately afterward.
"Under normal circumstances, this kind of surveillance wouldn't be too tight, right?"
'If the hired worker has long-term work experience within the family, they certainly won't be too strict.'
As Ren Dong talked to Su Rui in her heart, they arrived at the very heart of the family.
On the rooftop of the family mansion, the family head was sitting, holding a glass of red wine, looking down at the meeting place below.
"There are quite a few people up there, and it's an open area, so it seems like there's no way to avoid their line of sight."
'You're out of options too?'
“I really don’t have any left. This isn’t a game where you flip a coin and only one person comes to check. In real life, the slightest movement will alert everyone.”
Suri said it casually, but Ren Dong still felt he had a solution: 'What if we silently eliminate all the assassins and then appear behind that family head?'
"He was surrounded by a circle of assassins staring at him, what do you think?"
Is there really no other way?
"Just start a massacre." Su Rui was getting impatient with Ren Dong's continuous questioning, so she urged her directly.
But Honeysuckle just smiled: 'At times like these, isn't it coolest to appear quietly and take a life?'
"...Damn, you've convinced me, but after you kill him, you still have to take care of those bodyguards. They're also very important members of the family, so you can't let them go."
'No problem. So, what's your plan?'
"Of course it's camouflage. Slow down, slower than a walk, take only one step at a time, and walk over at a leisurely pace."
Honeysuckle nodded and lightly walked onto the rooftop, but no one noticed her.
Volume 1: Chapter 30 Bloodshed
'I didn't know your camouflage was so amazing. So you kept this feature a secret all this time just so I could watch you work on it, right?'
"First of all, I hadn't really looked at the manual before, and I only just discovered this feature."
Su Rui cleared his throat, and Ren Dong thought he was making a defense, but then she heard Su Rui add the following:
"Also, yes, even if I had noticed this feature before, I still wouldn't let you use it. I want to see rivers of blood. Unless it's absolutely necessary, I won't let you use this."
'You really are so willful.'
"I will definitely ensure your safety."
Suri's tone held a hint of displeasure at being exposed: "All these guards combined are no match for you and me. They're a bunch of worthless trash. With me here, you won't get hurt at all."
'But you decided to have me do it this way for a cooler performance, right?'
"Yes, to some extent, camouflage is even a form of cheating. Cheating is shameful, and the game loses its challenge."
'In some games, not using cheats might mean sacrificing your lifespan.'
Ren Dong couldn't help but smile, but then she saw Su Rui give the labels to the bodyguards standing around.
'If I kill them, won't I be exposed?'
"I can use camouflage, so what do you think? Of course, I can also use holograms to fake their deaths. Fine, do what you want, I'll just watch."
Suri didn't say anything more, but just watched as Ren Dong walked step by step to the side of the final target.
"By the way, you can maintain camouflage while moving quickly, but the visibility won't be as high. In other words, it will be vaguely revealed and might be spotted by someone with good eyesight."
'Can't you achieve holographic camouflage at high speeds?'
Honeysuckle couldn't help but curl up her lips, using reverse psychology to test Su Rui's abilities.
"Not yet, let me check... The manual says it needs 10% progress to unlock, what progress? I don't have a progress bar here."
Honeysuckle was immediately startled. She glanced at the system's materialization progress, which only she could see, and sure enough, a notification from the superior system appeared beside it:
[Physicalization progress can be consumed to unlock advanced features of the simulation system. Once unlocked, these features are permanently available.]
'...' There's no need for those advanced features right now, and Honeysuckle doesn't want to use the system materialization progress to unlock anything.
Suri's current abilities are more than enough. If she were to unlock those advanced features, wouldn't all her previous efforts require even more time?
Thinking this, Ren Dong reassured herself, 'Perhaps it was forgotten in the manual? Don't worry about it, the current functions are sufficient.'
Then, while saying words of comfort to Su Rui, Ren Dong put a poison into the patriarch's wine cup and watched him drink it.
After all, they had to remain silent, as they would have to deal with the guards later.
After glancing at the family head, who was already on the verge of death, Ren Dong began to walk toward the surrounding guards.
Hearing the choked, breathless voice of the Holy Guanyin behind them, the guards around them began to move closer to the head of the family with unexpected worry, and chaos ensued.
Ren Dong kicked a bodyguard who was running past her downstairs, watching him fall to the floor and startling the crowd at the banquet.
Screams began to rise and fall, but as the alarm sounded, no more family guards appeared.
"There's an assassin here! Be careful, they can become invisible!"
The bodyguards became alert, standing back to back, staring intently at the air in front of them. Behind them, the patriarch lay dead, his face contorted in a grimace.
"What kind of poison is that? It's so effective!"
Suri was curious, but also somewhat confused by Ren Dong's actions: "They've noticed you now. I thought you wanted to get rid of everyone quietly. Don't tell me you don't know the reaction after taking this poison."
"Of course I know."
Honeysuckle spoke up this time, and her voice immediately attracted the attention of the bodyguards. At the same time, Su Rui removed her camouflage at her request.
The Volper assassin, sword in hand, emerged from the shadows.
A look of excitement flashed in Honeysuckle's eyes, as if a scarlet light had shone forth. She ran her fingers over the blade of her sword and then walked toward the bodyguards who were standing by in ambush.
“When I’m with you, I’m also suppressing my impulses. Assassins from Syracuse are not only good at assassination.”
After saying that, Honeysuckle stabbed at the bodyguards who were still thinking about asking on their communicators why there was no support yet, like a sharp knife.
"This is pretty good too."
Faced with the current situation, Su Rui was not so excited. She rationally and promptly alerted the attackers coming from the side, telling her what kind of reaction could defeat the opponent while avoiding all damage.
The two worked together flawlessly and quickly resolved the battle.
As Danone effortlessly felled the last bodyguard still standing beside her, she took a deep breath, as if releasing a long-suppressed pent-up frustration.
"So? Did you like this performance?"
"Of course... there's one coward over there trying to slip away."
Without even looking, Ren Dong pulled out the small knife she had collected earlier from her pocket and threw it along the trajectory given by Su Rui, directly taking down the bodyguard who was trying to escape from behind.
The sound of a body tumbling down the stairs still echoed in her ears. Su Rui couldn't help but complain, "You threw so many daggers at once. If that person rolled all the way down, they'd probably be turned into a honeycomb."
"What's wrong? Suri, don't you like it?"
"It's alright, it's just that it feels a little different from what I imagined."
'Okay, mission accomplished. Let's get ready to head back.'
After a good workout and venting her anger, Ren Dong stretched and then walked downstairs with an air of nonchalance.
No one will bother her anytime soon. The peripheral members of the family outside won't understand the situation at all, and as for the family inside... no one is going to stop her anymore.
As Ren Dong passed by the banquet, she casually picked up a glass of red wine that Su Rui had scanned and confirmed was safe, and tasted it. Looking at the increasingly empty mansion as people fled, she asked with some surprise:
Why are you a little quiet? You should like this, shouldn't you?
"I was a little surprised that you would take the initiative to do something like this."
"Don't worry, I'm usually very gentle. I only do things like this when bleeding is absolutely necessary."
A smile flickered in Honeysuckle's eyes; she felt she understood Su Rui completely now.
"Let's go back. As a celebration, I won't go out all day tomorrow and will play games with you."
"Great!"
