Arknights' Lock of Heaven

Then he gambled that he could escape Xuan Tie's pursuit, leave Kazimir for good, and find a small place to live in seclusion.

Although the chances of success for the latter are pitifully small, it is the only way for him to survive.

“Herbert Allen,” Platinum said calmly, “is a director of Meshko Industries, the largest industrial group in Kazimir, and one of the most powerful people in the country.”

"I see," Xia Yu nodded upon hearing this.

"Hmm, do you know where the streetlights are most conspicuous in the Great Knight Territory?"

"Uh, streetlights?" Platinum was completely baffled by his question. "If we're talking about eye-catching, the streetlights in front of the Champions Wall exhibition hall are probably the most eye-catching, after all, they're over ten meters high."

"But why are you asking this?"

"What else can we do? Of course, we'll hang the capitalists up the streetlights!"

"Hanging streetlights?" Bai Jin looked completely bewildered. "Where...is this a custom from?"

“From my hometown,” Xia Yu recalled her past life, her smile gradually softening, “capitalists should be hanging streetlights.”

"What I want to see most is the entire city's streetlights covered with capitalists' portraits; that scene would be absolutely festive!"

Forgive my ignorance, but I can't understand why the streetlights are covered with hangings. Um, do capitalists find it festive?

What country's custom is this?

Wait a minute?

Capitalists? You mean those board members of the business association?

Platinum imagined that scene.

In front of the Champions Wall exhibition hall, the tall, imposing streetlights, covered with reliefs, are adorned with the names of the business association's directors...

Those arrogant people who berated him, those who turned Kazimierz into the state he is today...

They were all hanged from the streetlights!

Why does this scene feel strangely captivating?

Oh no! Platinum thought to herself and clutched her chest.

I'm a little tempted and want to watch it, what should I do?

179 Platinum, who escaped death

After getting up to pay the bill, Bai Jin kept turning back to look at Xia Yu.

Take two steps and then stop, take two steps and then stop.

Fearing that he might suddenly say in a sinister tone from behind at any moment, "I was lying to you. You're not leaving here today!"

But Xia Yu didn't lose her temper until she had walked the entire street away.

Upon seeing this, she took off running, her lightning speed befitting her celestial horse bloodline.

call……

She didn't stop until she had run out of the entire city, panting and leaning against the wall.

Finally... I survived...

It's not easy...

Seeing that he had escaped unharmed, with no missing limbs, Platinum was moved to tears.

She wanted to cry.

Ah ah ah ah ah! ! !

What a terrible job the Unarmored Alliance is!

I don't want to do this anymore!

Or rather, they've long since given up on the job!

If it weren't for... if it weren't for...

Thinking of this, Platinum took a deep breath.

If it weren't for the fact that the tragic death of the previous Platinum was still vivid in her mind, she would have run away long ago.

How could it have survived until today?

Now is not the time to think about this.

Platinum kept patting his head, trying to suppress those distracting and resentful thoughts.

We also need to think about how to explain this to the people of the Unarmored Alliance.

Those two lapis lazuli are not so easily fooled.

Not to mention the incredibly mysterious black iron on top of them.

First of all, that person's existence must absolutely not be revealed.

Bai Jin knew very well that he could not afford to offend such a person.

But how are we going to explain this to the Unarmored Alliance...?

Drop drop drop.

Just as she was racking her brains, a communication request appeared on her personal terminal.

Platinum picked up the terminal with a stiff expression and took a look.

Oh shit, it's over.

It's Roy.

One of the two great blue golds of the Unarmored Alliance.

I haven't even come up with an excuse yet, and the other party's message is already in front of me.

To answer or not to answer?

The incessant beeping on the terminal was like a death knell, urging her to make a decision quickly.

After hesitating for two seconds, Platinum still answered the call.

There's no other way but to make it up on the spot.

Even if they were to defect, they should at least buy some time.

"Where are you?"

Lapis Lazuli's voice lacked its usual carefree tone, instead filled with seriousness.

The last time I heard him speak like that was when we were being reprimanded by the board of directors of the business association.

"District Nine," Platinum took a deep breath, "is currently carrying out an assassination attempt on a noble knight..."

"Didn't you lead a team to clear out infected people today?"

Before she could finish speaking, Roy interrupted her.

“I’ve seen the data,” Platinum said, making things up as he spoke. “It’s just a settlement of thirty or forty infected people, and the Red Pine Knights who were hiding them aren’t there tonight.”

"So I believe that even if I don't participate, the team's capabilities are sufficient to complete the mission."

"So, after confirming that there were indeed no infected knights in the infected camp, I left."

Silence fell on the other end of the phone.

The two blue-gold warriors of the Unarmored Alliance, Roy and Monique, looked at each other.

What Bai Jin said was basically consistent with the intelligence they had.

Do not doubt the methods of Roy, a high-ranking member of the Unarmored League who has remained in power for over a decade without being challenged.

When Platinum said she didn't want to deal with the infected, someone had already sent her words verbatim to Blue Gold.

After all, they never truly trusted this young platinum player.

Perhaps even the two lapis lazuli gold members can't fully trust each other, let alone platinum gold members?

It was perfectly normal for her to plant spies.

Platinum probably knew all this, but never said it out loud.

Everyone had a tacit understanding.

But now, more than twenty members of the Unarmored Alliance are gone.

Platinum, who was supposed to lead them on the mission, left before the mission even began.

He survived in the end.

Doesn't that sound incredibly lucky?

Ah.

The assassin never believed in such coincidences.

Platinum has other ideas.

Of course, they already knew, since it was not uncommon for Platinum to slack off.
