Arknights' Lock of Heaven

However, this magic trick is still very useful for foodies.

Especially Xia Yu, who had been living outdoors for so long.

This is simply a godsend!

However, it wouldn't do to just eat by himself. Xia Yu looked at Chen, who was clearly stuffed from eating with him, and he had a good impression of this girl who insisted on her sense of justice.

"Want one?" Xia Yu took out a Vitamin C tablet she had swiped from Warfarin and secretly used the Holy Grail to cast a spell on it.

"Rhodes Island specialty digestive tablets, they're very effective!"

17 choices

Digestive aids and the like are just an excuse.

Rhodes Island doesn't sell this drug either.

Xia Yu was simply embarrassed to eat and drink while others watched.

However, his good intentions clearly did not reach Chen.

Chen refused his digestive aid, saying he had no appetite.

It's normal not to take his medicine, after all, the two of them don't have a very good relationship.

There was even a hint of stiffness in his expression.

The two ate, drank, and strolled through the entire food street without any unpleasant incidents along the way.

Until they came out of the food street.

Chen went to the parking lot to drive his car, while Xia Yu stood at the entrance of the food street, seemingly looking at the food street with great interest, but in reality, her attention was entirely on a girl who was getting closer and closer.

Long, slender ears, long purple hair, and clothes that, though slightly worn, were very clean.

She was slowly approaching.

Her seemingly casual gait couldn't hide the fact that her attention was entirely on Xia Yu.

Coincidentally, Xia Yu's attention was almost entirely on her.

Hidden lock.

The underage girl from Cats casually approached him, bumping into him as expected. She then apologized to him apologetically and skipped away humming a song.

They also took his wallet with them.

To be fair, the technique of using hidden locks to steal things is indeed very good.

Xia Yu wouldn't have been able to hide it from them if she hadn't gone easy on them; they would have discovered her affair long ago.

There's no way around it; the A++ level of aura perception is just that powerful. Even when the Dark Lock was far away and saw him as a target, he had already sensed it.

If you noticed her so early on, why did she still steal your wallet?

The answer is that after Xia Yu saw the hidden lock, she suddenly wanted to go and take a look.

Look at the slums of Lungmen.

Look at the infected people living there.

See what the world is really like.

The infected on Rhodes Island are not representative of the population, and those fortunate enough to be admitted to Rhodes Island cannot be considered representative of this group.

They are far too few, and Rhodes Island is far too small.

So how do people infected with the virus actually live in a city like Longmen that prides itself on being open and inclusive?

Chen wouldn't take me to see these things; I need a reason to go.

Watching An Suo skip away with his wallet, the reason was clear.

only……

Xia Yu rubbed her face in the rearview mirror. "Do I really look like a woman?"

His 'I'm sorry, big sister' as he left behind the hidden lock broke my heart.

Chen, sitting in the driver's seat, twitched at the corner of his mouth.

If it weren't for the fact that Rhodes Island's registration documents clearly stated you were male, who would have thought you were a man...?

Although she's a bit flat-chested, just looking at her face, she's absolutely stunning.

Seeing her hesitant expression, Xia Yu shrugged helplessly.

What happened just now was merely a man's dying struggle.

He knew perfectly well how he got his current face.

Inanna, or rather, the face of the priestesses under Ishtar.

Enkidu's face was modeled after this.

Thankfully, they didn't include the gender in the model, otherwise, he wouldn't be Mr. Xia Yu now, but Ms. Xia Yu.

Although Enkidu should be asexual, Xia Yu couldn't stand being without a little brother, so he changed his gender. After all, he was essentially a lump of mud, so it was easy to change.

As for why I don't change my appearance... because I can't!

If you dare to change your face today, Gilgamesh will come knocking on your door tomorrow, believe it or not.

Although I shouldn't have to worry about these things once I get to Terra, I've already gotten used to them.

Then forget it.

"Let's go to Longmen Park next," Chen said businesslike, watching Xia Yu return to the car looking dejected. "That's where most of Yan Country gathers..."

“Miss Chen,” Xia Yu interrupted her introduction, “you are an inspector from the Guard Bureau, right?”

“Yes,” Chen said, turning to look at Xia Yu with a puzzled expression, not understanding why he asked that question.

"Alright then," Xia Yu shrugged and said helplessly, "I just realized that my wallet is missing."

"Can we go look for the wallet first? After all, all my money is in there."

My wallet is gone!

Chen sensed a faint, almost imperceptible, feeling of mortal hostility emanating from him, coupled with Bai Xue's report from the previous night...

How could someone who could subdue that elite ninja in one blow have their wallet stolen in broad daylight?

Who believes it!

This is definitely a scheme!

But these are not things that can be discussed openly.

After all, Xia Yu is ostensibly there to discuss cooperation, so no matter how much precautions are taken, it can't be made public.

"Sorry, this was our mistake," Chen said decisively, picking up the walkie-talkie. "I will send in more officers..."

"No need," Xia Yu smiled slightly, "That's all my savings after all, so I've already taken out some insurance."

“I know where it is; Officer Chen just needs to drive there.”

Holding the walkie-talkie, Chen stared intently at Xia Yu.

The latter showed no fear and responded with a smile.

Having seen big scenes in the Absolute Warcraft Battlefront, he wouldn't be so intimidated as to show weakness here.

The two stared at each other for a while before Chen looked away.

“That’s great since you have the location,” she said calmly. “Could you give me the device? I’ll send someone to retrieve your belongings as soon as possible.”

"We can't expect our guests to go looking for it themselves. That's not how we treat our guests. It's already a failure of our hospitality for them to suffer such a loss."

“We can go to Lungmen Park first. I guarantee that the Guard Bureau will bring back your lost property before dark.”

“There’s nothing I can do,” Xia Yu shook her head regretfully, “This isn’t modern technology, but my unique Originium Arts.”

"I'm afraid I really will have to go in person."

Hearing this, Chen took a deep breath.

See the picture poorly.

At least that's what she felt.

There are too many illogical things going on here.

The mere fact that Xia Yu's wallet was stolen is utterly absurd.

And then your stolen wallet happens to have a location? And it just so happens to be Originium Arts? And only you can find it?

In her eyes, the person who had been eating and drinking in the food street for so long had finally revealed his true intentions.

He wants to go somewhere.

Wallet and such are just excuses; it might still be lying safely in his pocket.

From the moment I first saw him, this negotiation showed many unusual signs.

First, there was Rhodes Island, which unexpectedly broke down, and then there was the two-person delegation traversing the wilderness.
