Arknights' Lock of Heaven

"And these super-powerful operators, you're saying you're a pharmaceutical company?"

300 We are a legitimate company

"if not?"

The doctor shrugged. "We're a legitimate pharmaceutical company."

"What about those volcano experts?" Ceylon's lips twitched as he asked.

"Our main research area is Originium Disease, so it's normal to have a few experts in Originium, right?" The doctor shrugged. "It just so happens that these experts in Originium are also proficient in volcanoes and Originium geology."

"What about those super-powerful operators?" Black turned around and asked.

“That’s even more normal,” the doctor continued with a smile. “This world is so dangerous, and Rhodes Island is so outstanding. If it didn’t have a force that could intimidate others, it would have been wiped out long ago.”

"Because Rhodes Island's sales network hasn't reached this area yet, you two might not know that in Casimir, our inhibitors are top-of-the-line."

"So it's quite normal for some operators with strong combat skills to protect Rhodes Island's research achievements, right?"

"After all, this world is so dangerous, and many people are coveting Rhodes Island's inhibitors."

“It is no easy task to protect these industries in an environment where they are surrounded by wolves.”

Surrounded by wolves, this refers to the fact that after Xia Yu had slaughtered countless people in Kazimierz, the passing wolves would wag their tails in the air like dogs to save their lives.

Of course, Black and Ceylon don't need to know these things; all they need to know is that Rhodes Island is awesome.

Black and Ceylon exchanged a glance, both feeling that the Doctor wasn't telling the truth.

However, in the adult world, it's best not to speak too deeply with casual acquaintances, so they didn't press the issue.

So they followed the path carved out by Mudrock and Red Bean toward the city hall.

"You bunch of good-for-nothings, you can't even stop a little girl?!"

In Kronin's office, he was furious, watching his men being knocked down without any chance to fight back, as those men walked towards him, stepping over a group of groaning bodyguards.

In desperation, he could only rage at his subordinates' incompetence.

"But they are Sarkaz! And there are several other people on the other side!"

Even the bodyguards had something to say: "Who is that? It's Sarkaz!"

Moreover, they seem to be veterans who have fought for years. It's normal for them to lose to them, after all, they are just bodyguards.

How can you compare yourself to someone who has actually been on the battlefield?

"There are only a few people!" Kronin was still furious and powerless. He knew that what his subordinate said was true, and that many things in this world could not be judged by appearances alone.

Take these young girls in front of you, for example. Although they look frail and weak, they are actually terrifying assassins who can wield a sledgehammer and bring wealth to your entire family.

"Damn Rhodes Island, how could it be here!" Kronin gritted his teeth, letting out bursts of impotent rage.

"Why are you here? Why are you interfering with my plans? Why...why?"

"What is this?" As they made their way forward with ease, Hongdou couldn't help but complain, "These guys... they all look tall and strong, but they seem even weaker than Originium Bugs?"

Upon hearing this, the black man behind them twitched at the corner of his mouth.

These people... well, they were indeed trained by her.

Although I didn't train her for very long and only provided some basic instruction, but...

It feels really bad to be told that, but unfortunately, what they said is actually quite true.

The group made their way up to the second floor, chopping vegetables and cutting melons, without encountering any significant resistance...

Thinking of this, Hei kicked a bodyguard who was trembling and trying to stand up, causing him to fall down again and enjoy a sleep like a baby, no longer needing to be tortured.

These people... are just too disappointing!

"Okay, you can just wait downstairs," the Doctor said to Ceylon and Black, deciding not to embarrass Siesta. "There's a surprise waiting for you downstairs."

"Leave the rest to Rhodes Island."

Upon hearing this, Ceylon and Black exchanged glances. Then, out of trust in the Doctor and for Ceylon's safety, Black nodded to the Doctor and led Ceylon downstairs.

The remaining three continued their assault.

"Quickly transfer all the personnel here!"

Seeing them closing in, Kronin couldn't hold back any longer and hysterically shouted at his men.

“But Mr. Kronin…” His subordinates also had something to say. One of the bodyguards simply shrugged and said, “I think, if we can’t beat them, we just can’t beat them!”

"No matter how many people there are, it won't make a difference."

It means just open it up and be done with it, why resist?

Anyway, he was just a bodyguard, not a key member of the group that conspired with Kronin to deceive their superiors. At most, they would just fire him when things came to a head.

It's not worth risking your life for Kronin; after all, he only gets that little bit of money each month, which is hardly enough.

You think this little bit of money will make me follow you wholeheartedly? Dream on!

"No buts! Don't back away!"

Kronin was still roaring at the top of his lungs, while the bodyguards had all made their own choices.

To protect oneself is wise.

So Mud Rock and his group arrived at the office on the third floor without any problems.

Looking at the ferocious-looking Kronin and the group of obedient bodyguards crouching in the corner, Red Bean yawned and said listlessly, "Sigh, Doctor, is this the target? Then hurry up and complete the mission. I still need to go to the live concert. I'll be missing out if I don't make it."

"Kronin, right?" Upon hearing this, the Doctor smiled slightly at Kronin, then reached into his pocket and pulled out a very familiar card.

Break it off gently.

"You know what this is... Oh, you don't, but you only need to know its effects."

Watching the golden specks of light drifting up beside him, the Doctor nodded in satisfaction, then rubbed his fist and said kindly to Kronin, "Where are the records of the illegal mining of obsidian and the falsification of volcanic reports?"

"I advise you to hand it over obediently," the doctor's smile widened, "otherwise..."

"I'll just twist your skull off and use it as a bowl!"

Faced with her threat, and seeing the faint golden light emanating from the Doctor's body, Kronin rationally pointed to the safe in the corner and said, "Password 3643, the ledgers and bonds are inside."

"And here's the evidence you wanted."

He still vividly remembers the scene of the doctor breaking through the wall with his bare hands... At that time, he was bathed in golden light and a god descended to earth, opening a big eye in his office.

My small frame is clearly not as strong as reinforced concrete.

Upon hearing this, the professor tilted his head, gesturing for Red Bean to take a closer look.

Hongdou immediately understood, went to the safe, and entered the password.

“It is indeed ledgers and bonds,” she said, glancing at them briefly. To be honest, Hongdou couldn’t understand these things, but she could still tell what they were.

"As expected, beating them up did work! Sister Meteorite said that violence is sometimes necessary!"

At this point, Hongdou looked at the doctor with a happy smile.

"Once found..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kronin leaped forward and, just as the ledger had drawn everyone's attention, rushed to the wall that the Doctor had previously carved out with his bare hands.

The people in the office were drawn to his movements and turned to look at him in surprise.

"You didn't expect this, did you! This is my escape route!" Kronin was beaming with excitement. He firmly believed that once he left this office, and considering how many years he had managed such a large company like Siesta, shaking off a few outsiders would be a piece of cake!

Can they even catch up with me? Absolutely not, I'm telling you. How could a few outsiders possibly know this city as well as I do!

He gave the doctor a smug smile, then turned and jumped down into the hole!

Kronin was incredibly grateful that he hadn't sent anyone to repair the wall, otherwise he would be trapped like a fish in a barrel today.

Now, as long as I reach that place, reach the safe house, that will be my victory!

In the time to come, as long as we hide well, and then spread the news of the volcano in the intercity network as a messenger of natural disaster to disrupt the entire Siesta, making them completely unable to care about themselves, then there is still hope!

As long as we can get to that place!!!

In the office, Dr. Niyan, Dr. Hongdou, and Dr. Niyan looked at each other, but none of them took a step to chase after them.

"If I remember correctly, the general is still outside, right? I feel like that Kronin thing is going to end up in a terrible state; it would have been better if he hadn't escaped..."

Watching his smug back, Hongdou was in a great mood.

“Here, Doctor, let me help you with these,” she said, carrying a large stack of documents in her arms.

“Ceylon and Miss Black are down there too…” Mudrock smiled slightly. “Doctor, you let him escape on purpose, didn’t you?”

“Of course,” the doctor smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"Look at this, what a dramatic scene! I thought I could escape alive, but I found that the person who hated me the most was blocking my way..."

"Wow, this scene is amazing."

Otherwise, the PhD wouldn't have asked for evidence as soon as he walked in.

After all, she herself said that at this point, evidence is not important at all. The volcanic activity report is enough. The rest can be investigated slowly. The important thing is to quickly bring the situation under control.

We must not let Siesta panic.
