As the gun sounded, the hooded man was quickly alerted and dodged.
Unfortunately, Nash had already calculated all his movements and escape paths.
Whether human or animal, the way they moved before death was so similar.
With a bullet fired by destiny, it seemed as if the hooded man greeted the bullet with his head.
Thud~
Seeing this target fall to the ground, Nash quickly returned to the Runic Space, unable to bear the intense pain.
"Hiss~"
Crying out as he remembered the pain in his body, Nash promised never to push himself again.
Running at full speed for over ten minutes without regard for the limit of his body, no wonder he was on the verge of collapse.
Usually, when humans push through to their limit, they can only maintain such a state for a few seconds.
Anyone's body would give out, the pain, lack of breath, pupils dilating, mind going cloudy, every breath taken past the limit feels like fire going through your lungs.
Nash didn't feel any pain because his consciousness was out of his body.
The [Control Module System] also didn't show a sign of lagging, making him ignorant of the situation.
He thought running at maximum speed would only tire him out; Nash didn't expect it to nearly tear his body apart.
Perhaps this is also the benefit of controlling the body in the runic space.
Unless his muscles turned to mush, his bones broke, or his organs stopped functioning, the runic module system would keep him moving.
Fortunately, in this world, many types of healing potions were available.
For the light injuries his body sustained, a diluted low-level healing potion costing 10k Arls should do the job.
"Should I add this to my training regimen?"
Breaking and healing was the number one formula to build a tireless and perfect body.
In his past life, he had achieved the limits of the human body under the watch of countless scientists and top-tier medical institutions.
In this world, he didn't have to be so careful and could overload his body as much as he liked.
The only problem was the pain, which could be easily mitigated as long as he didn't return to his body.
While thinking of his plans, he packed up his sniper and walked towards the hooded man.
Controlling his body, he soon reached his target, motionless on the ground.
"Hmm, Cortell?" Nash recalled seeing the face of the hooded man.
Cortell was one of the men he investigated for the task General Axel commissioned.
"So this is the escaped criminal..."
Not wanting to think further, he quickly searched the corpse for any valuables.
"This should be the Void Crystals," Nash thought, looking at a little box containing 29 dark crystals the size of marbles.
As for the other loot, it consisted only of a used phone and an identification card that he had forged.
Turning the phone off to prevent tracking, he roughly cleaned up and controlled his body to return home.
This time, he didn't dare to run anymore.

Walking carefully on the street, it took him an hour to get back.
Drinking the diluted healing solution, he deactivated the [Control Module System], letting the body rest and heal.
In the meantime, not having a body to do anything in the real world, he continued to work on the [Control Module System].
Such a crude runic module system didn't even have the most superficial warning lines.
If he were not careful, his body would fall apart from overuse.
There was also the [Sensing Module System], which only had the sight sense; it couldn't give full play to the [Control Module System].
Nash also planned to create another module system.
Like a dedicated overloading module, overclocking module, training module, battle module, cooking module, memory module, etc.
If Nash could create a complete runic module system, perhaps his body could function perfectly in this world without his control.

The next day, while Nash was busy in the runic space, the woman from before, Camilla, and the Steel Bone Gang confronted Axel for an explanation in the street where Cortell had died.
"I swear I didn't do it! I don't have the guts to fight even an injured Void Warrior!" Axel hurriedly shook his head.
Initially, the Blue Alliance was supposed to send him reinforcements to retrieve the Void Crystal from Cortell.
Unfortunately, the Arleanians secretly controlling the city seemed to predict their movements.
Sealing off Landon City, the Blue Alliance couldn't send anyone.
However, not wanting to waste the chance to get a cargo of Void Crystals, the Blue Alliance contacted the Steel Bones Gang for cooperation.
As the top rebel group, the Blue Alliance still knew the top local snake in each place.
Although the Steel Bone Gang was nothing in the past, Camilla's recent intervention in the past month turned it into a solid unit.
Investigating Camilla's background, they discovered she was part of the Crimson Gang, the most influential and strongest gang in Atral State.
With an alliance between the Blue Alliance and the Crimson Gang, they easily connected with Camilla and reached an agreement.
Promising to hunt Cortell together, they agreed to divide the spoils based on contribution.
Unfortunately, while hunting Cortell, they encountered the Landon City Police, allowing him to escape.
The next day, seeing Cortell's body lying on the ground without the Void Crystals, Camilla concluded that the Blue Alliance had cheated them.
"Hmph! If it wasn't you, then who was it? This is a trace of a D5 Void Sniper. Besides us, only you dared to waste money on this weapon!"
"This—I don't really know..." Axel sighed in desperation.
He only wanted to live the life of a salted fish; why couldn't he get a break?
"Hmph! You'll know soon enough."
"Take him to the base. Also, bring that dead body with you; a Void Warrior is still useful for experiments."
"No, you can't do this! I'm a member of the Blue Alliance!" Axel panicked, wanting to run.
Unfortunately, guns were already pointed all over his body; if he struggled, only pain awaited him.
"Just come with us, Mr. Axel. My lady wouldn't make it difficult for you," Camilla's subordinate said.
After all, the Blue Alliance was the top rebel group on Earth.
Even if they are suspicious, they still deserve respect.
"It better be, or I will tell this to my leader," Axel said forcefully, seeing Camilla already out of sight.
