Arknights' Lock of Heaven

There must be a way to the front of the mountain.

All I need to do now is become as strong as possible.

What you hold in your hand is what you truly rely on.

"If you hadn't reminded me, I might not have realized it."

Xia Yu composed herself and smiled at Kal'tsit, "Amiya..."

"So, what's my suggestion?" The latter brushed a stray hair behind his ear and said casually.

"Of course, although I'm still a little confused about the situation, at least it doesn't seem like I'm losing out."

“Then, from now on,” Xia Yu said, placing her hand on the table and looking earnestly at Kal'tsit, “I want information about the gods.”

"It's not those local myths and legends, or religious customs, but information from the real gods."

"Regarding this," Kal'tsit paused for a moment after hearing Xia Yu's request, then said with a strange expression, "your 'roommates' should have what you want."

Roommate?

Xia Yu froze on the spot.

Do I even have this kind of thing?

He quickly came to his senses and realized that he did indeed have a roommate.

Rhodes Island's staff quarters are divided into cabins. Each dormitory has a common hall and several small cabins for the operators.

Although it's called a hall, it's not actually that big, but it's big enough for eleven or twelve people to have a gathering.

I am your roommate...

On the left is a lion scorpion, which should have nothing to do with gods.

On the right is Skadi...

This connection seems a bit too big, it's like jumping straight to the Cthulhu world... and although I greatly admire this famous, happy little orca, I've never actually met him.

They're probably still out there on a mission.

And to be honest, Xia Yu really doesn't want to be associated with Cthulhu-like gods...

Ghost Shark? She doesn't live here.

year?

Although she is also very famous among players, like Skadi, she is a character who is rarely seen.

Moreover, Xia Yu's strength was still uncertain and she hadn't received any magic replenishment, so it wasn't like she wanted to approach her too early.

Now is a good time to try contacting them.

Many of the others are operators I've never heard of before, so I can't confirm their identities.

In this huge dormitory, it seems I've only ever seen a lion scorpion.

However, it's normal that he's only been at Rhodes Island for a few days.

We'll see the whole picture sooner or later.

The only one left is the Saintess of Kalan, First Snow, but she doesn't live here.

We'll talk about it another time.

Now, of course, we need to pay attention to Kosic's side.

Xia Yu knew that he would soon control Talulah to drive the core city of Chernobog to Lungmen to stage an accident.

If he hadn't chickened out.

By then, we'll probably be able to gauge the true power of the Terran gods.

This also determines how Xia Yu will deal with the aforementioned people in the future.

Whether to play it safe and develop stealthily or do whatever you want depends on Kosic's performance.

After sorting everything out, Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"I should go now, I've had a busy day," he said lazily, stretching. His future plans were already set, and all he had to do now was keep moving forward.

Now, it's time to go back and get a good night's sleep.

But Kal'tsit stopped them.

“Sleep here,” she calmly pointed to the hospital bed behind her. “Although I know you’re not seriously injured, there are still some things that need to be done.”

"After all, it's a bit of a challenge to escape unscathed from the center of thousands of rioters. Sometimes, it's necessary to hide yourself properly."

She gave Xia Yu a deep look.

"Most people in the world are ordinary; don't stray too far from common sense."

Common sense about this world?

Sorry, Xia Yu doesn't have these things.

Even when ACE and his teammates were trying to liven things up in the train carriage during their trip to Chernobog, Xia Yu couldn't find the jokes funny.

This is common sense in this world...

Xia Yu slowly lay down on the hospital bed, realizing she still had so much to learn.

-

He certainly still has a lot to learn.

Even as he slept, many people were worried about him.

Nearl absentmindedly wiped the warhammer in his hand.

She glanced at the communicator every now and then.

But each time, there was no news of him coming out of Dr. Kal'tsit's office.

Even though it was their first time working together and they had only known each other for a short time, the figure of that person with his back to them, standing in front of the tyrant of the Reunion Movement, was already etched into their mind.

Sometimes, friendships formed on the battlefield are that simple; a single moment can turn two strangers into lifelong friends.

Linguang wasn't the only one constantly monitoring the communicator.

ACE, Doberman, and Amiya, who was tossing and turning in her room, unable to fall asleep.

Xia Yu never thought that protecting them from the Reunion Movement was such a great thing.

Ultimately, this is a difference in understanding between the two parties.

Xia Yu knew that her actions had saved many lives in the rescue team, but to be honest, she didn't feel that much.

What was a deadly crisis for the rescue team was a problem he could solve with a wave of his hand.

But those team members didn't understand Xia Yu's strength, didn't know what the Heavenly Lock was, didn't know what a pseudo-spiritual foundation was, and didn't know how strong the physical attributes of the god-created clay puppet were.

In that situation, they believed that staying behind to cover the retreat meant certain death.

Xia Yu had no idea how many people who had stayed up all night were crying tears of joy when she drove onto the front deck of Rhodes Island.

In the same situation, if he were saved by someone else, he would remember that person for the rest of his life.

This is the difference in understanding.

Xia Yu is still too young; he can't see these things in such a short time.

Fortunately, Kal'tsit is mature enough.

She knew there were other people waiting for news outside the office.

"The injury is not serious. It's mainly due to overuse of Originium Arts. He'll be fine after a couple of days of rest."

She casually sent it to Amiya.

Without even looking, Kal'tsit knew that Amiya was definitely not asleep at this time.

“Sigh,” she sighed softly.

I don't know if doing this is right or wrong, but this is someone favored by the Demon King's power...

I only knew a little bit from the ancient legends told by Theresa.

Is he really ▓▓▓?

40. What do you do if you suddenly become popular?

"Mr. Xia Yu".

"Mm," Xia Yu smiled and nodded at the person who greeted her.

Then keep going.

"Mr. Xia Yu".

"Hmm," she nodded again, maintaining her smile.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Xia Yu," Xia Yu greeted politely, even though he didn't recognize the person.

"Mr. Xia Yu..."
