Arknights' Lock of Heaven

“Pick her up, let’s go to the medical department.”

"Oh, just in case, wrap it around her twice more."

While speaking, he was sending messages on his terminal, presumably starting to mobilize his troops.

Xia Yu looked at her with an air of matter-of-fact, then at the sleeping Ghost Shark, and sighed.

He reached out one hand to put his arm around her back, and slipped the other hand under her legs, lifting Specter into a princess carry. Then he wrapped the Sky Lock around her more than ten times to ensure she would never suddenly attack anyone. He then followed Kal'tsit out of the special room.

Fortunately, due to Ghost Shark's condition, her specially designed room was not far from the medical department, just a few steps away.

Kal'tsit opened the door to the consultation room, which was filled with doctors.

Seeing Xia Yu walk in carrying the Specter Shark, Warfarin, who had been impatiently waiting, jumped in front of them, rubbing her hands excitedly and blurting out whatever came to mind.

"You really knocked her out? What type of anesthetic did you use? What was the dosage? I remember the last time I drugged Skadi, I used..."

As they were talking, they sensed a murderous aura emanating from behind them.

She turned around with an embarrassed laugh, looked at the murderous Kal'tsit, and quickly waved her hands to explain, "Just kidding, just kidding, don't take it seriously..."

“Hmph,” Kal’tsit glared at her, then walked to her desk and said to the doctors, “You know how precious this opportunity is, so hurry up.”

"We need to develop a comprehensive treatment plan!"

135 You are her only lifeline.

To be honest, Xia Yu felt out of place in this room.

Aside from him, there was only the ghost shark being studied and a large group of doctors with fanatical expressions.

Their agitation is not without reason.

On the continent of Terra, deep-sea hunters are so special that Oripathy, which can infect ordinary people with just a scratch, seems to be non-existent for them.

Ghost Shark is an anomaly among deep-sea hunters, and may be the only known deep-sea hunter infected with Oripathy.

What are Rhodes Island's biggest expectations?

If the treatment is for Oripathy, why is Warfarin so obsessed with Skadi, repeatedly trying to drug her? Even after being hung on the bridge, she remains unrepentant.

It's simply because the deep-sea hunters are so special.

In a world where there is no clue how to deal with Oripathy, their presence is so conspicuous.

If Kal'tsit hadn't been keeping quiet, they probably would have started researching Deepsea Hunters long ago.

Of course, Xia Yu also knew why Kal'tsit was suppressing their research.

Because she knew that this path was a dead end.

The reason why deep-sea hunters are not afraid of Oripathy is because the blood of the Sea King flows in their veins.

They are "anti-Haizi bio-weapons" created by the Agorians using advanced technology to hybridize their people with Haizi, somewhat like the Ursus Inner Guards modified using fragments of demons.

Unlike the Inner Guards, the Deepsea Hunters are completely unaware of the truth (completely tools), while the Sea King's bloodline provides a significant enhancement to one or more aspects of their physical attributes, as well as astonishing regenerative abilities.

However, this modification also has some flaws, just like the internal guards. As long as the deep-sea hunter bleeds, it will attract sea creatures, which are practically everywhere.

Kal'tsit was well aware that trying to overcome Oripathy by relying on this method was doomed to fail, but the existence of something like the Deepsea Hunter was not something that could be made public, so she suppressed the proposal to research the Deepsea Hunter on her own.

As for Warfarin, she wasn't completely ignorant about the Sea Si, but she still insisted on studying it first. After all, there was no way forward at the moment. Even if the Deep Sea Hunter seemed like a dead end, there might be unexpected gains.

This is the point of contention between her and Kal'tsit.

Of course, it's just a difference of opinion and won't escalate into a conflict.

I just feel unwilling to accept it.

However, she only knew of Hai Si's existence and did not understand the characteristics of this monster.

Of course, when they want to do research, they usually focus on Skadi.

Obviously, the two deep-sea hunters on Rhodes Island, and the crazy Specter Shark, are not good research subjects. Who knows when she might go berserk and kill the researchers?

Furthermore, Skadi was also very resistant to Rhodes Island's research on the Specter Shark for some reason.

So they set their sights on Skadi, who was of sound mind. Even if the operation failed, Skadi would at most get a beating out of respect for Rhodes Island, and her life wouldn't be in danger.

Moreover, their so-called research only went as far as bleeding Skadi, not to the point of being as crazy as Agor's research into biological weapons, although the bloodletting was never successful because of Skadi's vigilance.

But today! The crazy ghost shark was actually subdued and brought right to their doorstep!

"Tsk," Warfarin glanced at Specter on the hospital bed, then looked at Kal'tsit beside her out of the corner of her eye, and slightly curled her lip.

In front of this expert, it's impossible to even make a small move.

What a waste of such a great opportunity.

However, she tilted her head slightly and looked at Xia Yu, who was doing nothing.

If he were here...

Kal'tsit was well aware of her plans, which is why she was personally overseeing things here.

As the doctors got busy, the medical reports eventually came to Kal'tsit's hands.

Along with this came the increasingly solemn expressions on the faces of the medical personnel.

Because the Oripathy in the Ghost Shark's body is unusually stable!

It was so stable that the medical staff began to doubt what they had learned.

I have never encountered a case like this before.

Previously, Ghost Shark's condition was not like this; the Oripathy within her body was constantly boiling, fighting against her powerful physique.

But now it's turned out like this...

“Alright, you can leave now,” Kal’tsit clapped her hands and said to the medical operators, “I will personally conduct the mental evaluation on her after she wakes up.”

"Now, go back to your work."

Hearing this, the medical staff reluctantly left the ward, especially Warfarin, who kept turning back to look at the door frame and refused to move. In the end, Kal'tsit coldly pried her fingers off one by one and threw her out.

After cleaning up Warfarin, Kal'tsit clapped her hands and came to Xia Yu.

"Can you keep her in this state?"

The words were straightforward.

"Okay," Xia Yu hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth, took a strand of long hair from behind her with the mentality of "you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub," cut off the hair with a heroic expression, and lowered her head to wrap it around Ghost Shark's wrist.

He then retrieved the Chains of Heaven.

The instant the Lock of Heaven vanished in the light, Ghost Shark's peaceful sleeping face suddenly contorted into a ferocious expression, its entire body arching slightly as if it were about to pounce at any moment.

Then, the strand of hair wrapped around her wrist took over the function of the Heavenly Lock, and finally, the ferocity that had suddenly erupted on her face gradually subsided.

Until the initial tranquility is restored.

The Lock of Heaven is Xia language, and Xia language is the Lock of Heaven.

A single strand of hair can do the same thing as a chain.

It means you have to replace it every few years, putting the old one back on and wrapping a new one around it.

Yes, this isn't like a normal person getting a haircut and then it's done. Xia Yu's hair can be put back in place seamlessly after being cut.

He still cherishes his long hair, but there's really no other way; he can't carry the Specter Shark with him all the time, can he?

After all, he's still a patient.

Seeing that his approach was effective, Kal'tsit nodded and then handed the medical report to Xia Yu.

"Skadi is a maverick, or rather, she pretends to be maverick and doesn't care about others. If you go to her empty-handed, she might not come back with you."

"But having this might change things. What she cares about most is the Ghost Shark."

“I didn’t expect it to go so smoothly,” Kal’tsit exclaimed. “I was hoping you could treat her a little.”

"Now, as long as you have this ability, you don't have to worry about Skadi not taking the bait."

“Or perhaps,” Kal’tsit said meaningfully, “you are her only lifeline right now.”

136 I'm not reconciled!

Ultimately, it's up to the person involved to decide whether to grasp at straws.

Of course, Xia Yu wouldn't give up the information Kal'tsit provided.

Of course, Titi cares about Shark.

"I'll try my best," Xia Yu said, taking the documents and casually putting them away.

“It seems you’re going to go find Skadi first,” Kal’tsit said, sitting back down. “She says she’s an operator from Rhodes Island, but she’s been acting on her own whims.”

"She's not on Rhodes Island right now; she went out without accepting a mission."

“But you must know where she is,” Xia Yu continued.

"Kasimir, Drip Village".

“A week ago, Agent Grani accepted the village’s request for help from the outside world.”
