"Atrum Galliasta."
"How fortunate, the Paradise actually gave me the identity of a rich person."
Sugo Nobuyuki looked at Yukinoshita Yukino through the puppet's perspective. He could already imagine the scene of a bullet piercing a head, starting to spin, flesh twisting together, and finally exploding into a mist of blood.
Because Rule 6 of this game's Paradise clearly stated that the extraordinary could not be revealed to ordinary people, Sugo Nobuyuki felt that the power of money represented by this identity was incredibly useful.
He only needed to arrange for ordinary people to follow him at all times, which was like activating a Silence Domain, preventing anyone who approached from using extraordinary means.
Perhaps because his initial identity was too good, Sugo Nobuyuki, despite spending a lot of money, still couldn't find where the summoning item was.
Even so, money was more beneficial than harmful in the early stages of the game.
With such a safeguard, Sugo Nobuyuki chose to directly use one Command Seal, releasing a puppet with a customized appearance, preparing to clear the field before other players summoned their Servants.
As for why he released a puppet instead of directly using an ordinary person?
Please, it's a modern society after all. What ordinary person could withstand the players' torture? If he were exposed even slightly, his existence would shift from the shadows to the open, and a renowned identity would become a disadvantage. Sugo Nobuyuki didn't believe that no player could circumvent the restrictions of Rule 6.
Most importantly, Sugo Nobuyuki was very weak. His evaluations for the first two worlds were just around the passing line. A Level 3 player's panel simply didn't have many excellent Skills, and his equipment and items were very poor.
"Instead of waiting to summon a Servant and then using it to enhance the Servant's combat power, why not directly eliminate other players before summoning a Servant?"
As expected, the puppet with the Command Seal pattern on its left hand discovered a player.
A university student?
And someone who cared about the lives of ordinary people.
Such a person, who couldn't recognize the true nature of Paradise, was simply the best appetizer!
"That's right, you stay there and grapple with the puppet, and I will bring the assembled anti-material sniper rifle and find the best position…"
Watching through the puppet's perspective with one eye, Sugo Nobuyuki took the elevator up a tall building, took out the sniper rifle, and placed it in the optimal position.
"Without the boost of Skills, a normal Level 3 player doesn't have the ability to react to this large sniper rifle."
Sugo Nobuyuki pulled the trigger, and his mouth mimicked the sound of the shot.
"Bang~"
A passing proprietress hurriedly walked between Yukinoshita Yukino and the puppet. She had originally intended to stay and watch the drama, but sensing the atmosphere around her, she inexplicably felt a chill.
"Since he isn't the player himself, then the real player should appear…"
Although it was just a guess, Yukinoshita Yukino was no longer going to hesitate. The torrent of magical energy transformed from the Command Seal manifested in this Fuyuki City, which was only filled with daily life!
"I will use one Command Seal to unseal one of my items - 'Kitten Can't Go to Heaven'!"
"Bang~" The moment the puppet's mouth moved, a bullet passed through the passing proprietress's head, carrying the blood of an innocent person, and arrived in front of Yukinoshita Yukino.
A golden cat spirit also floated out from beside Yukinoshita Yukino's ear, facing the extremely fast bullet, and extended its paw to swat at it.
Item: Kitten Can't Go to Heaven
Description: God reached out to the kitten, and the kitten replied with the fastest possible strike.
Effect: When danger is encountered, this one-time item is automatically triggered, producing an effect. As long as the cat spirit exists, no creature or object can approach the user without the user reacting.
Even the hand offering spicy soup will be met with the cat spirit's painful blow.
Bonus: Temporarily raises Agility to a level sufficient to evade the current danger.
Usage Condition: Love cats more than God.
Borrowing the item's effect, Yukinoshita Yukino reacted to the incoming bullet.
Her body shifted to the side. The bullet, which had been Lock-on to her head, was momentarily blocked by the cat spirit, grazing Yukinoshita Yukino's shoulder. The smell of blood rushed into her nose, adrenaline surged, and Yukinoshita Yukino controlled her body to retreat, dodging the puppet that attacked again.
The golden cat spirit looked worriedly at Yukinoshita Yukino, then uncontrollably ascended into the sky.
"Although I lost the gamble, we didn't make a bet, did we?"
He had once said that he would complete the kill the moment Yukinoshita Yukino hesitated whether to use a Command Seal.
Controlling the puppet to advance with one eye, Sugo Nobuyuki had already re-Lock-on to Yukinoshita Yukino.
However, it was now very difficult to hit. With precautions in place, Yukinoshita Yukino constantly dodged, moving towards places with cover.
"I will use one Command Seal to unseal one of my equipment - 'Cat Spirit Bracelet'!"
Cat ears and a tail appeared on her body. Relying on the extra boosts to Constitution, Agility, and danger premonition, Sugo Nobuyuki's sniper rifle could no longer Lock-on to Yukinoshita Yukino's body.
After all, he was only using ordinary sniping techniques, not bringing Skills related to Lock-on bonuses.
That one shot fired from the shadows was already his most hopeful and decisive killing move.
And after being exposed, the sniper rifle could only be used as a means to restrict Yukinoshita Yukino's movements.
After all, even the 'ordinary person' Busujima Saeko from Highschool of the Dead could react to an enemy's muzzle to dodge bullets.
Looking at the already deceased passerby, Yukinoshita Yukino endured her wound, carrying the burning fire in her heart, and chose to begin dodging the pursuit.
Of her original three Command Seals, one was used to unseal the item 'Kitten Can't Go to Heaven', which automatically triggered to block a fatal blow, and another was used to unseal the equipment 'Cat Spirit Bracelet' to escape.
Forced to use two Command Seals without even seeing the opponent's true face, it was now undoubtedly a huge advantage for the enemy.
Yukinoshita Yukino did not have any equipment or items that could remotely Lock-on to the opponent's main body, meaning that under the current circumstances, she had no chance of counter-killing the opponent.
Sharp pain came from her wound, and Yukinoshita Yukino dared not use her last Command Seal to unseal a recovery item.
After all, if the last one was used, even if she survived and successfully summoned a Servant, she might not be able to defeat the opponent, let alone take revenge personally.
"The player is taking potshots. I must find a place with cover to deal with this puppet, and then bandage my wounds…"
Yukinoshita Yukino maintained a distance from the puppet, heading towards her original destination.
Fortunately, it wasn't far now.
"Since you care about the lives of ordinary people, how about you commit suicide? If you don't agree, maybe I'll go on a massacre or something."
The puppet still maintained that crazed appearance. Its Agility was slightly worse than Yukinoshita Yukino's, and besides throwing pebbles slower than bullets, it had no other long-range attack methods, so it could only trail behind Yukinoshita Yukino.
Yukinoshita Yukino ignored him. She simply had high moral standards, she wasn't insane.
Soon, Yukinoshita Yukino found her residence. The moment she stepped through the door, Yukinoshita Yukino inexplicably looked at one of the buildings, hesitated for a moment, and then immediately rushed into that warehouse-like place.
Dust billowed, and on the floor of the warehouse lay a red bead.
"This is a summoning item?"
Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned and immediately rushed towards the bead, and the puppet, close behind her, also noticed this.
Unfortunately, its Agility was truly lacking, and it could only watch as Yukinoshita Yukino touched it with her blood-stained fingers.
The next moment, light completely illuminated the warehouse.
"Servant Saber, summoned in accordance with your call. I ask you, are you my Master?"
The identity assigned to Yukinoshita Yukino by Paradise was: Fujimura Taiga!
This place was called the Emiya Residence!
