Arknights' Lock of Heaven

She didn't know when, but one of her feet was already firmly bound by a gleaming golden chain.

The glass was of good quality and was not broken by the back of Miss Snow White's head.

Miss Snow White was in a bad mood; she knew she couldn't go to the ground.

She is now hanging upside down on the fifteenth floor, like a foolish spore that has stepped into a trap.

Miss Snow White's plan has failed miserably!

15 The melee combat felt surprisingly good.

In the hotel room.

Xia Yu and the heavily bound assassin girl stared at each other in bewilderment.

He was still struggling with how to deal with the assassin.

To be honest, Xia Yu was quite angry when she was woken up by the warning magic.

After all, who can be in a good mood when they're woken up at 3 a.m.?

Now that we're angry and have arrested the person, the question is how to deal with them.

No matter how angry she is, she wouldn't kill someone outright. Don't misunderstand, Xia Yu isn't a saint. If someone draws a sword at you, then they're dead.

But we're on someone else's turf now, so we should at least be mindful of our influence. Besides, this person is most likely after Rhodes Island.

Since I've only been in Terra for a few days, how could I possibly have made a life-or-death feud with someone?

That's most likely someone sent by Rhodes Island's rival company, hoping to sabotage the cooperation between Rhodes Island and Lungmen.

That should be the case. As for which companies Rhodes Island has competing with it?

Xia Yu didn't know, but such a large company must have some overlap in business with others.

He didn't think of Lungmen officials at all. After all, as an old PhD, he still had some goodwill towards Chen. He never imagined that she was the one who brought trouble upon him.

It's like he was blind to his own good fortune; his affection for Chen made him subconsciously overlook this fact.

Moreover, since Bai Xue wasn't carrying her signature shuriken, it's normal that Xia Yu didn't recognize her.

However, they didn't intend to do anything to Xia Yu; they were just testing his strength.

Now that she had a scapegoat in mind, Xia Yu was determined to make the right choice.

He went straight out to Kal'tsit's room and rang the doorbell.

About a minute later, Kal'tsit opened the door.

His hair was disheveled, his coat was clearly just put on, and his eyes were slightly narrowed.

She seems to have a bad temper when she wakes up.

"Is something wrong?"

Kal'tsit's expression was not good, but her tone was alright.

She knew that Xia Yu wouldn't bother her at this time without a reason.

“I just caught an assassin,” Xia Yu pointed to her room, “most likely sent by Rhodes Island’s rivals.”

"How to deal with it?"

Xia Yu was quite open-minded. She was just a bodyguard, and it was better to let Kal'tsit handle the company's troubles.

"Call the police!"

After hearing his words, Kal'tsit slowly uttered two words.

"Huh?" Xia Yu was taken aback. "Aren't you going to ask who sent her?"

Kal'tsit glanced at Xia Yu after hearing his question, then slowly said, "We are law-abiding citizens."

Then he closed the door.

She didn't even want to look at the so-called assassin.

Handing it over to the Lungmen Guard Bureau is a good option.

I live right next door and haven't heard a thing. This guy is obviously a noob sent to test me. What can he possibly find out?

Handing it over to the Guard Bureau might uncover something. After all, this is their territory, and the locals always have their own methods. They will give Rhodes Island an explanation.

Regardless of the explanation, something can be gleaned from it.

She also didn't expect that the assassin was after Xia Yu.

After all, it's perfectly normal to make a wrong judgment due to a lack of information, since they didn't know about the existence of the pair of divinities within Xia Yu.

Back in her room, Kal'tsit pondered whose interests this collaboration had threatened, while Xia Yu, upon returning to her own room, also encountered a dilemma.

What's the emergency number again?

You can't exactly call 110, can you?

Holding the landline phone in her hand, Xia Yu fell into deep thought.

It would be inappropriate to go back and bother Kal'tsit now.

Then there is only one answer.

He knelt down in front of the assassin girl, who was tightly bound by him, and pulled off the gag.

What is the emergency number for the Lungmen Guard Bureau?

Bai Xue closed her eyes, prepared to die for her lord. After all, as a ninja, being captured and tortured while doing dirty work was nothing new.

She would never betray her lord.

But no one expected that this person would ask this question.

She stared blankly at Xia Yu, her small eyes filled with deep confusion.

“I’m a law-abiding citizen,” Xia Yu said, seeing her puzzled look, “and I’m not like you assassins.”

Emergency call...

Bai Xue fell into deep thought.

Although I'm practically a semi-official, calling the police... I guess... it shouldn't be considered leaking my master's secrets...

Right?

After a long while, he whispered a few numbers in a hoarse voice.

After receiving the answer, Xia Yu got up and returned to the phone.

"Yes, yes, we caught an assassin at the Longmen Hotel. We were invited by Mr. Wei Yanwu to discuss cooperation, but we didn't expect to encounter something like this."

"Yes, yes, yes, it's in 1506. I've already subdued it. You guys come and take it away."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu glanced at the assassin girl who was tightly bound in the corner, and then went to the window.

This time, it was all thanks to the warning spell she got from Fujimaru Ritsuka; otherwise, Xia Yu might not have woken up until the assassin broke in through the window.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, forever a goddess!

As for catching the sword with his bare hands, Xia Yu looked down at his own hands.

Change of appearance.

Enkidu's most outstanding characteristic is his special ability to redistribute his ability points according to the situation based on a certain total value.

Sometimes the strength can be changed to A-grade, and sometimes the durability can be changed to A-grade, but since the upper limit of parameter return has been determined in advance, it is impossible to make all values ​​A-grade.

恩奇都拥有30点的数值，参数则是根据A-7、B-6、C-5、D-4、E-3的数值进行消耗。

In this era of depleted magic, this ability has become especially important.

Previously, with the Holy Grail's magical power supply, Xia Yu could unleash all sorts of powerful magic at will, so she didn't use her transformation ability much.

Why go into hand-to-hand combat when you can die by kiting?

Moreover, as a college student who has never been in a fight since childhood, it would be difficult for him to directly engage in hand-to-hand combat, since there are better options, aren't there?

Now that things have returned to normal, Enkidu's most basic ability has been revived.

Want to catch a sword or blade coming at you? Just max out your Strength and Agility.

It has to be said that this body has an excellent foundation; Xia Yu's previous reckless and extravagant fighting style was a complete waste of its potential.

"People are indeed forced to do things," Xia Yu sighed inwardly, looking at her hands.

Previously, with the Holy Grail, Xia Yu could leisurely bombard enemies with magic. Now that the Holy Grail is empty, she's forced to take a melee approach and realizes that catching swords and such...

It's not difficult at all.

"This body is just too good," Xia Yu sighed again.

If it were me in the past, reaching out with both hands would have resulted in them being chopped off.

Although we only exchanged one move, the feeling of close combat... was surprisingly good.

16. Only good food should not be missed.
