Arknights' Lock of Heaven

If I were to fall into his hands, it would be worse than death.

So, just when the plan was about to succeed, this unexpected variable appeared. How could he not hate it?

Kronin looked at the doctor and said through gritted teeth, "And they're incredibly bold, walking in like this so openly."

“I believe in the evidence!” Ceylon then came to her senses and shielded the doctor behind her, “not some random outsider.”

“In my opinion, this so-called doctor of yours is no different from those before him,” Cronin sneered upon hearing this, “He will stop at nothing to plunder this city!”

Upon hearing this, the professor shrugged and said, "If you want to find fault, you can always find a reason. That saying is truly insightful."

"Trying to frame someone? Haha, that's what you people always say."

Kronin looked at the doctor with eyes that seemed to want to tear him to pieces.

“Young Miss, you are inexperienced in the ways of the world, so it’s inevitable that you will encounter such things.”

As he said this, a slight, disdainful smile curved his lips.

"Rest assured, I will make sure that these lawless individuals who spread rumors receive the punishment they deserve."

Before Ceylon could even react, he shouted to his loyal subordinates outside the door, "Everyone, come here!"

"Take down this scoundrel who harbors ill intentions towards Siesta!"

The bodyguards, dressed in black suits, walked in without a word and headed towards the doctor.

"Kronin! Are you ignoring what I'm saying?"

Upon seeing this, Ceylon panicked. She was a kind girl and absolutely could not bear to see the kind person who had helped her fall into such a predicament.

She gritted her teeth, stood in front of the doctor, and spread her arms to protect her. "As long as I'm here, I won't let you do this!"

But the bodyguards in black did not stop.

Upon seeing this, Kronen laughed with delight.

"That's a pity. I can't let you disrupt the order of Siesta City. Quickly, arrest these people who want to disrupt the Obsidian Festival."

Kronin had been operating in Siesta for many years and still had his own loyal subordinates.

Although insignificant compared to Mayor Hermann's power, it was more than enough to handle the current situation.

At least that's what he thought.

Unfortunately, the doctor is not as weak as he seems.

"Go and restrain the young lady too! Don't hurt her, let her calm down!"

Just as Kronin hardened his mind to control Ceylon as well, the latter panicked.

He really dares to touch himself!?

Just then, the doctor put his hand on Ceylon's shoulder, signaling her to relax.

Then, he reached out and put his arm around Ceylon's waist, whispering in her ear, "Get ready, we're going to escape."

Ceylon, bewildered, was pulled over by her, and then saw the Doctor take out a golden card, hold the two ends of the card with his thumb and forefinger respectively, and then bend it forcefully.

With a snap, the card broke, and a faint golden light enveloped the doctor's entire body.

Upon seeing this, the bodyguards cautiously stopped. Originium Arts... no one could really explain it.

Who knows if that girl called "Doctor" will suddenly rip open her black robe and reveal her muscular physique after I get close, and start yelling "Ora!"

After all, it's your own life.

Kronin was very anxious about this, but he could only watch helplessly.

However, the doctor did not look in their direction, but instead turned to look at the wall behind him.

Raise your hand and throw a punch!

boom!

The solid wall shattered instantly!

Yes, a small piece broke off.

Although the bustling traffic outside was visible, it was clear that this small area was insufficient for two grown men to escape unscathed.

Upon seeing this, the doctor sighed inwardly.

To be honest, since it was my first time using it, I didn't really have much of a concept of this power, after all, I'm just an office worker.

I was deliberately holding back my strength just now, in case a piece of rock broke out and hit me.

She had already observed that the second floor below was a small balcony, completely empty.

Seeing this, the doctor nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at the dumbfounded Kronin and the others.

As a third-rate villain, he clearly lacks any fighting skills.

The bodyguards they can recruit naturally won't be very strong.

Faced with the doctor's sweeping gaze, the bodyguards trembled slightly and retreated.

Someone who can break through a wall with their bare hands... how can I possibly afford to mess with them?

Aren't you afraid someone will give you a thorough thrashing?

Whether they felt heartbroken or not, Kronin didn't know, but he himself felt very heartbroken.

Extremely cold.

How am I supposed to deal with such force?

I don't have any myself... Oh right, black!

She, that woman... she can definitely do it!

But... what if Ceylon said something to her...?

In that instant, Kronin completely panicked.

Upon seeing this, the doctor sighed.

A third-rate villain is a third-rate villain; there's nothing we can do about it...

But... this method of breaking the deadlock with force is really satisfying!

Beneath that dark mask, the doctor's eyes curved into crescents.

So cool!

Who would want to argue with an idiot if they could wake someone up with a slap?

All that talk is because I don't have the ability.

At that moment, the doctor felt that he could sense Xia Yu's happiness.

While it might be a bit beneath him to try and make a name for himself by playing a third-rate villain, it's not shameful when it comes to Rhodes Island's grand plan.

Ceylon was also dumbfounded when he saw this.

I never imagined that such a small place as Rhodes Island would be so full of hidden talents!

Leaving aside the previous group, Xia Yu wiped out the Originium Bugs with a single War Stomp. Although the girls weren't known for their martial prowess, they were all incredibly knowledgeable.

Even a seemingly thin and small PhD student can break through walls with his bare hands!

No wonder she dared to come to this dangerous place (for Ceylon) alone with me!

Seeing Kronin panic, Ceylon was filled with excitement.

"Doctor, please restrain him..."

"No, we have to run away," the doctor said seriously before she could finish.

"what?"

The people in the room were stunned when they heard this.

This...this...shouldn't we be the ones running away?

"You saw that card just now, didn't you?" the doctor said in a low voice.

“Uh, I see it,” Ceylon said, somewhat confused.

"In short, this is a one-time use of my power," the doctor explained seriously. "I'm not a combatant, and I'm not confident I can take care of these people before the deadline."

"So, we have to run away."

"Uh, is that so?" Ceylon looked at the Doctor with a somewhat bewildered expression; she felt that something was amiss.

No, why did you say it to my face? You're just like that third-rate supporting character in the movie who exposes his own shortcomings, aren't you?

Ceylon wanted to loudly criticize the Doctor, but her good manners kept her from speaking.

In that case, those people...

She turned to look at the bodyguards, only to find them still standing obediently in place, not having heard her and instead grinning maliciously as they stepped forward.

Just kidding, that golden light is still flashing on the doctor. Even if it really is time-limited, you can't go in now!

Are you going to go and get yourself killed?

Upon seeing this, the doctor sighed.
