Arknights' Lock of Heaven

Trust will naturally emerge once all promises are fulfilled.

Xia Yu grabbed the girl by the back of her neck, lifted her up, then locked onto Amiya's location and jumped off the building.

This child is quite pitiful. Since the promise has been made, it should naturally be kept.

Her only remaining relative, Shattered Bones, has already embarked on a path destined for destruction; perhaps it's best if they never see each other again.

Misha from the province was also dragged into the abyss.

He wasn't arrogant enough to think he could persuade Broken Bones to come back just by force; the suffering he had endured in the Ursus mines couldn't be ignored with a few words.

Don't persuade others to be kind to others without suffering.

Why did the Reunification Movement receive such a large and enthusiastic response?

It's all the Ursus Empire's fault!

If you treat people like pigs and dogs, don't blame them for turning into wolves and jackals.

Chernobog was just the beginning of the infected people's venting of their anger. It's a pity that the innocent people, who were the ones who committed the sins of the nobles, had to pay with their lives to wash away the damage.

The Reunion Movement has gone astray and is destined to be short-lived.

They've chosen the wrong path; their resistance is futile, serving no purpose other than pushing the infected population back into the abyss.

In the case of the Integration Movement, the phrase "the enemy is in the command post" perfectly explains the situation.

Patriot is powerful, but he is just a soldier, not a politician. He did not realize Koschei's sinister intentions at first, and with his Oripathy worsening, he is now powerless to reverse the situation in the face of the Reunification Movement instigated by Koschei.

Managing his subordinates well was already the best he could do.

The other cadres are all young people, even minors. How could they possibly think calmly under Kosiché's instigation?

Froststar also sensed something was wrong, but like Patriot, she was powerless to change the situation.

All of this was caused by Koschei's ambition, Ursus's oppression of the infected, the backwardness of the feudal dynasty, and the inevitability of the times.

The Reunion Movement was merely a casualty of the unfolding drama. There are many countries on Terra that treat the infected harshly. The Reunion Movement ignited a fire, regardless of its purpose or whether it was timely or not.

One day, the scattered sparks will burn the entire world.

At that time, Amiya, where will you stand?

Watching Amiya run towards him, Xia Yu stroked his chin, wondering if he should upgrade her equipment.

For example... a sword?

“Mr. Xia Yu,” Amiya said cheerfully, “you found her.”

“Oh right,” Xia Yu placed Misha in front of Amiya, “I’ll leave the rest of the communication to you. By the way, I promised her that I would bring her to Rhodes Island for treatment after the Guard Bureau figured out the situation.”

“Okay, I understand,” Amiya said with a bright smile, and then began communicating with Misha.

Why do you think Reunion is looking for her?

Just then, the doctor, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up and asked Xia Yu a question.

Razer and Franka, who were standing nearby, were both taken aback by her soft, sweet voice; it was the first time they had ever heard the Doctor speak.

"It's definitely not just because of her as a person," Xia Yu shrugged. "It's probably because of the items she carries? Or some kind of information she knows?"

"The Royal Guard seems to know something; we should just hand it over to them."

The doctor returned to silence.

Amiya's communication was over; she wanted to ensure the safety of the innocent people in the slums by making a big show of taking Misha away.

If they are taken away secretly, those thugs will search for a long time and who knows what they might do to the ordinary residents here.

However, this means that Rhodes Island's team will be under considerable pressure.

Razer and Franka, who were standing nearby, had already prepared their weapons. Through their short time together, they had figured out their employer's methods.

“That’s it, Commander Chen. We’ll take the shortest route out of the slums,” Amiya reported to Chen over the communicator.

"..."

Chen was silent for a moment before saying, "Get to the rendezvous point as soon as possible."

Then the communication was disconnected.

Amiya put down her communicator and addressed the group, "We need to break through."

"..."

The so-called breakthrough was surprisingly easy.

We kept seeing rioters on the road, but few of them dared to actually make a move.

There might be a few hotheads, but they were quickly and easily dealt with.

More rioters watched as the crowd left, then disappeared into the streets and alleys of the slum.

“This is so strange,” Amiya muttered to herself, “Why aren’t they making a move?”

For a moment, she even thought that the Misha she had found was a fake.

But the idea immediately popped into my head; it couldn't be fake.

"Yes, why don't they make a move?" Xia Yu narrowed her eyes. "That's strange."

Not surprising at all!

Those thugs who were clearly from the Reunion Movement had their eyes all on him!

Xia Yu didn't hide it; they recognized her.

"Do they think I have no chance of winning?" Xia Yu thought to herself. "The number of thugs is constantly decreasing..."

"So, because I didn't dare to directly attack Rhodes Island's defenses, they turned their attention to other people?"

It seems the Guard Bureau has been underestimated.

50 Test

The Lungmen Guard Bureau was indeed underestimated.

In this city, some infected people may not want to be associated with the Reunion Movement, but many more will side with them.

Those lurking gangs, the disgruntled infected, and many others are dissatisfied with Lungmen's current system.

They have one thing in common: almost none of them are beneficiaries of Longmen, the trading capital.

It is said to be almost because there are also some beneficiaries who are dissatisfied with the status quo, but these people are not the mainstream.

Lungmen is stable because too many people in power don't want it to descend into chaos.

Lungmen is also chaotic, a gathering place for forces of all sizes from various kingdoms across the continent of Terra, where conflicts in the shadows are frequent.

It's just that the Imperial Guard Bureau and Wei Yanwu were able to keep it under control before.

Now, perhaps the success of the Reunion Movement in Chernobyl has given some people unrealistic fantasies.

Otherwise, how was the Guard Bureau building breached in the original storyline? Without the cooperation of insiders, how could the Reunion Movement have transported people to the Guard Bureau's headquarters right under its nose?

Perhaps Wei Yanwu also needed such an opportunity to see who had developed unwarranted ambitions, which is why he stood by and watched it all happen.

Because he has the confidence to suppress all unrest, the Royal Guard Bureau has never been the entirety of Lungmen.

It can also temper the arrogance of my disobedient niece and properly hone her skills.

The future successor of Lungmen cannot only be good at fighting and killing; she is still too inexperienced.

“Leave the rest to me,” Chen glanced at Xia Yu, then nodded to Amiya, and turned to the Guard Bureau members behind him, saying, “PC94172, keep an eye on this kid.”

“Come with me,” the officer behind her, whose badge number had been called, walked up to Misha and kindly extended his hand, saying, “We will protect you.”

It must be said that the people Chen trained were quite good.

“Amiya…” Misha looked at the bunny, her unease almost overflowing.

She doesn't trust the Guard Bureau.

“It’s alright,” Amiya comforted her, then turned to Chen, “Commander Chen, Rhodes Island hopes to take her in after the Guard Department gets what it wants from Misha.”

Although it was phrased as a suggestion, the light in his eyes was undeniably compelling.

“I will apply to Commander Wei,” Chen paused, then said, “It shouldn’t be too long. Once we get that thing, we will hand it over to Rhodes Island.”

This is practically an admission that the Guardians need something from Misha.

Moreover, given Chen's personality, he probably wouldn't do anything to her, so Amiya stopped interfering.

“Let’s say goodbye here, Misha,” she nodded to the latter, “We’ll see each other on Rhodes Island soon.”

"While I'm gone, can you protect them?" Misha asked. "The children?"

“Oh, no problem,” Amiya nodded.

"Okay, goodbye then." Only after receiving the reply did she get into the Guard Bureau's vehicle.

Before leaving, Chen glanced at Xia Yu again, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Amiya," Xia Yu said thoughtfully, "what's the next mission?"

"Next?" Amiya glanced down at the communicator in her hand. "Try to wipe out any Reunion Movement members who have infiltrated the slums."
