Chapter 6: The Celestial Palace
At this moment, an elderly-looking British gentleman pointed a gun at him and said, "Put down the gun! Who are you? I don't recall any Asians being invited to the banquet!"
When Ren Suo was about to order takeout, two options suddenly popped up in the game, also requiring a choice within 10 seconds
Ren Su scratched his head, but he did not think much of it. According to his preference, he edited the sentence to: "I am an assassin from the Celestial Palace"

When the assassin arrived here this time, he directly leaped over the railing of the stairs and plunged into the group of assassins. Utilizing 5 seconds of "bullet time," he caused the assassins to drop their helmets and armor. At that moment, one of the assassins pulled out a grenade, only to be instantly detonated by the assassin.
Please convey my regards to Karen Lamperouge, and I look forward to our next meeting
The assassins established a defensive line on the second floor, but how could that possibly withstand a cheating killer? However, after the killer forcefully shot them down using "bullet time," the assassins surprisingly threw a grenade up.
Surely this round has passed, right? Ren Suo wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised his head, and noticed that it was already dark outside.
The assassin then wielded an assault rifle to clear the way ahead, killing all the way down the secure passage. When they reached the seventh floor, the sound of a violent explosion erupted from the banquet on the ninth floor, causing the entire building to tremble.
At this moment, time suddenly paused, and a box appeared on the screen, containing a line of text: "I am the assassin from Ren Naishe."
As if receiving an order, the assassins reluctantly fired a few shots in the direction of the killer, and then the main force quickly drove away, leaving only a small number of assassins to cover their retreat
Boom
Now Ren Suo thinks that the assassin appeared alone behind the suspicious individual to steal the gun, and the target seems a bit too obvious
He took a cigarette, lit it, took a slow puff, exhaled a smoke ring, and said with a smile: "Goodbye, everyone"
Reloading the save file, although Ren Suo has experienced another failure, his face is filled with excitement
Ren Suo naturally allowed the assassin to use the table as a good cover to block bullets and change magazines, then activated bullet time. Regardless of whether the assassin showed his head or not, he directly initiated a full automatic spray of bullets
I? I am merely Miss Karen's admirer. By chance, I learned that this group of card assassins intends to harm Miss Karen, so I came to deal with them
In my lifetime, I act as I see fit, without the need to explain myself to you (Xuanwen)
The killer's swift and decisive actions left the black-clad men behind in astonishment. An English gentleman approached and remarked with admiration: "What a terrifying Asian... Are you an ancient ninja from the land of cherry blossoms? An ancient samurai? No ordinary person could be as formidable as you; could you be one of those inhuman beings?"
You have obtained a Beretta 92, with 15 rounds of ammunition, accompanied by a pistol suppressor
[Firearm Proficiency] Special Skill Activated, you discover the assault rifle 'Steyr AUG'
Successfully stealing the handgun, Ren Suo urged the assassin to leave quickly, and then continued to wander around the banquet hall, waiting for the arrival of 20:00. During this time, he identified several suspicious individuals through physical contact.
Once the evaluation is uploaded, this chapter will be completely closed
You fell into a coma, and Karen Lamperouge was killed during this time, resulting in mission failure
Killer: "I truly, truly am willing to give my life for Miss Karen"
Task completed
Have we finally cleared the level
"Isn't this a handgun battle? Why are there assault rifles? Where did they come from?" Ren Suo discovered that two assassins were standing by the table where the pyramid of wine glasses was placed, wildly shooting with rifles. After emptying a magazine, they crouched down and took out a new magazine from under the table
Upon entering the banquet hall this time, the assassin not only instantly identified fifteen suspicious individuals, but also...
Without any surprise, the assassins began to disperse. A portion of them rushed out to secure the elevator and the emergency exit, while one assassin armed with an assault rifle led five others into the inner hall. Another assassin, also wielding an assault rifle, opened fire at the concealed position of the killer
The assassin then rushed into the lobby on the first floor, activated "Bullet Time" and threw a fragmentation grenade into a densely populated area. With a loud bang, several people were killed. The assassin then hid in a safe passage, waiting for "Bullet Time" to cool down, and after five seconds, shot down several assassins, and after another five seconds, shot down several more assassins
The sound of gunfire echoed, instantly stripping away the carvings and lime from the pillar in front of the assassin
At this moment, another dialog box pops up, and the game prompts: "Please explain 'Celestial Palace'."
"Very well, you and the Blackwater team will lead the way. Miss Karen must remain safely in the rear," said the British gentleman. "The card assassin burst in from outside and shot the security personnel; the first floor is filled with their people, advancing along the secure passage."
Little did they know, the British gentleman furrowed his brow and said: "Hmph, who knows if you are a false pretender infiltrating as an assassin... Bind him and throw him into the restroom, do not let him follow us!"
The first two responses seemed to have no issues, while the third one appeared to be provocative, thus Ren Suo chose the second option
At this moment, the men in black who rushed into the banquet hall attempting to retaliate with firearms were met with a barrage from two assault rifles
In this sentence, except for 'I am from' and 'the killer', the name of the faction in the middle can be edited freely. Ren Suoyou exclaimed: 'I can still edit the dialogue...'
You have obtained Fragmentation Grenade × 1
Outside, the police sirens blared, and a tremendous wind howled through the sky. The police surrounded the building, while special forces soldiers, each armed with rifles, smashed through the building's windows and entered the interior, swiftly subduing the remaining assailants
As soon as the time was up, gunshots erupted from the inner hall on the other side of the banquet hall. Without waiting for the game prompt, Ren Suo controlled the assassin to shoot and kill the enemy hiding behind the pillar, taking over his position to hide behind the pillar with an excellent line of sight, activating bullet time to shoot and kill three assassins in a row!
Continue reading the file. This time, after successfully eliminating the assassin, Ren Suo chooses option 1
Ren Suo did not go to steal the pistol this time, but instead lingered near the pyramid of glasses, waiting for 20:00. As soon as the time arrived, he instructed the assassin to immediately take out the assault rifle, activate bullet time, and perform precise shots at the assassins glowing in red light
The banquet hall was in complete chaos, and the assassin took the opportunity to hide behind a pillar to regain his instinct value. Ren Suo calculated that by hiding in this safe zone, he could maintain a state of shooting for 5 seconds and resting for 5 seconds. Even if the assassins found cover, he could use bullet time to catch them when they peeked out, ... and shoot their big noses to pieces ...
We must leave the ninth floor, as they are very likely to have planted bombs here!" The British gentleman glanced at the banquet hall and quickly called to the remaining guests who were still alive: "Miss Chris, Sir Morris... please follow us as we leave!
Dada dada dada dada dada dada dada
That should be the location of the protected object
Although there were more than 20 assassins, they were no match for a killer equipped with "Bullet Time," "Firearm Mastery," and the strongest firepower at the banquet. In a single day, An was unable to withstand a single blow, and at that moment, the assassins were unable to go out to suppress the elevators and emergency exits, while the men in black outside came to the rescue.
Several armed men in black gradually emerged from the inner hall. Ren Suo wanted to see what Karen Lamperouge, whom he was supposed to protect, looked like, but she seemed to be completely surrounded by the men in black, making her invisible. In the scene, there was only a golden inverted pyramid icon floating behind the men in black.
Is it already past 6 o'clock? I actually played this game for more than six hours? Ren Su was also taken aback; he felt that he had only saved a few times and hadn't spent much time at all
They placed the assault rifle under the table
Task score: 66.5 points (barely passing), highest task score: 66.5 points (barely passing)
The last time Ren Suo controlled the killer to steal a gun, it should have been seen by the young man in the brown suit, which directly raised suspicions, leading to the killer being taken hostage
This time he identified a suspicious individual among the crowd, still employing the tactic of 'I just bump into you and then run away.' He splashed the suspicious person with someone else's drink, soaking them completely, and then the assassin stealthily approached the suspicious individual in the crowd and discreetly delivered a blow to the individual's rear.
However, Ren Suo thought to himself that the enemy AI in this game is too strong, and if the assassin is hit in a vital area, he will die instantly. Even with "bullet time," he must proceed with caution, waiting for an opportunity when the enemy's firepower temporarily subsides to retaliate safely. After that, he has to wait for the skill cooldown, and back and forth, after several rounds, it can indeed take this much time
You are dead
You are dead
Wait a moment? Ren Naisai? Isn't this my game ID? Why is it defaulting to the killer's background?
Before Ren Suosong could catch his breath, those men in black surrounded him and pointed their guns at him
After the bullet time ended, the assassin holding the assault rifle changed the magazine and continued to fire at the pillars with a rapid "da da da" sound
The task entrusted is solely to protect Karen Lampley.
After the assassin advanced, more than ten assassins on the first floor were killed, and those behind screamed: "Super sharpshooter!" "The police are here!" "Helicopter, it's the SAS!"
Several gentlemen armed with guns also emerged from the hall, and under the multi-faceted assault, the assassins were swiftly annihilated
The British gentleman was clearly taken aback for a moment and said in a strange, cryptic manner: "Celestial Palace? Are you from the Xuan Kingdom?"
The screen suddenly turned red, indicating that the assassin was injured but not yet dead. Ren Suo knew that he could not continue like this, so he took the opportunity to activate bullet time while the assassin was reloading his magazine.
What? Ren Suo was stunned, watching as the assassin was bound and taken to the restroom, and then one of the men in black struck the back of the assassin's head with a knife-hand blow
Even from the screen, Ren Suo could see the extremely strange change in the expression of the man in black, as his gaze towards him shifted in an instant. The British gentleman furrowed his brow and said, "... Is that true?"
"What the hell, can we really chat in real time? There wouldn't be a GM talking to me, would there?" Ren Suo laughed, and the editor casually remarked, "The Immortal Palace is a secret organization of the Xuan Kingdom, and I am just an ordinary assassin among them."
The location of the assault rifle is precisely beneath the table of the champagne pyramid
Do you choose to upload this result as the final result? Upon successful upload, you will receive merits corresponding to the evaluation level
The British gentleman let out a sound and nodded slightly, his tone becoming much more polite: "Next, I kindly ask you to exert more effort, and after the matters of the Lampe Road family, I will not hesitate to express my gratitude."
It seemed that this option was not very important, so Ren Su directly chose the first one. He then saw the assassin ask a British gentleman for a cigarette, light it, and exhale a perfect smoke ring, waving goodbye to the men in black: "Goodbye, everyone"
In the next moment, the scene crystallizes into black and white
The destructive power of an assault rifle is significantly greater than that of a handgun. A handgun does not pose much of a threat to an assassin hiding behind a bar table, but the bullets from an assault rifle continuously penetrate the cover of the assassins, forcing them out of hiding to be shot down.
With a whoosh, another assassin, who was watching the pillar, fired a gun. The killer had no choice but to retreat to avoid the bullets, which wasted a bit of time. The other assassins quickly raised their guns, sealing off the killer's escape route
At this moment, three options emerge, and the selection time remains limited to 10 seconds
The assassin who attempted to approach the table to grab the gun was instantly eliminated by Ren Suo, and several other assassins who could not find cover were also dealt with by Ren Suo. As the guests screamed and sought refuge, those assassins found their positions and began shooting at the killer.
