Arknights' Lock of Heaven

“Kal’tsit, look at me,” he said, pointing to his face, “look at my face.”

"Is he someone who has made saving the lives of all humanity his life's dream?"

"That's not something I can do!"

"Shouldn't the salvation and happiness of all mankind be achieved through the joint efforts of all mankind? Why should I be the only one to achieve it?"

Do I look like the kind of person who's easily fooled?

"Returning the gods, huh..."

Xia Yu scoffed, "Are you talking about a god? More like a nanny!"

"Who told you that I wanted to do that?"

"Yes, I do find these things disagreeable, and I feel that the world should not be like this."

"But would it make sense for a so-called savior to descend from the heavens through mechanical intervention?"

"At least my education tells me that there has never been a savior."

“I will provide them with help and support, not just in words.”

"But that doesn't mean I have to take on everything, okay?"

"That would be exhausting, and I don't have such lofty sentiments."

"It's good that you understand..."

Hearing this, Kal'tsit finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that Xia Yu was the kind of person who was truly dedicated to the people, even to the point of disregarding objective reality and forcibly achieving his goals.

That's good since he knows.

Then I felt relieved.

"But what you call help..."

Kal'tsit soon started nagging again.

There's no way around it; she still needs the confidence to be a riddle-teller when facing others, just like that "you and your race" line that I find laughable.

But when facing Xia Yu, she really didn't have that confidence.

Honestly, the more I understand him now, the more I wonder where this person really came from.

Is this... really a creature that Terra can raise?

Ugh……

Kal'tsit now feels like a mother hen, worrying about everything all day long.

They were terrified that their child would go astray.

Others going astray might only harm those around them, which could be considered a tragedy, but if Xia Yu goes astray...

Well, that can't be summed up by a mere tragedy.

"Really, it can't exceed a certain limit, it can't exceed their common sense, otherwise..."

"No, the more details you've explained, the more curious I become. Did the Terra Cat Cult really never exist?"

Halfway through her conversation, Xia Yu interrupted her and brought up the old story again.

The reason he keeps interrupting is because... he really won't take on everything like Kal'tsit said!

Kal'tsit's worries were completely unnecessary. Although she didn't study very well back then, she still understood some of the basics.

There's absolutely no need to worry that he'll turn out that way.

Besides, Xia Yu felt that something was wrong. Even if she was worried, there was no need to get so agitated, right?

He stroked his chin, looking at the furious Kal'tsit before him.

Hmm, it's like someone who's been bitten by a snake once and is afraid of a rope for ten years...

hiss!

Could he have actually been right? Kal'tsit had tried something similar before?

And then... what she said was all her past experiences?

My God, this is huge news!

Xia Yu exchanged a thoughtful glance with the professor.

Although the latter was still wearing a black mask, both of them sensed each other's thoughts.

Terra Cat Cult... hiss...

“I know what you’re worried about,” but now is not the time to talk about it; if I don’t reassure Kal’tsit, she’ll explode.

"Don't worry, all my aid will go through Rhodes Island."

Xia Yu gave Kal'tsit a thumbs up.

"You can take direct charge of these things."

"Alright, may I take a look at this so-called aid now?"

Seeing the Doctor and Xia Yu seemingly in agreement, Kal'tsit forcibly suppressed the boiling anger in her heart, took a deep breath and said.

“Of course, no problem,” Xia Yu said, casually pulling an inhibitor from her sleeve.

"This is the first aid."

Kal'tsit fell silent upon seeing this clearly Rhodes Island-made inhibitor.

She knew that if Xia Yu were to cause trouble, she would definitely do something big, rather than just taking out the inhibitors that Rhodes Island already had on its list of aid to the Patriots guerrillas.

"Don't tell me it's what I think..."

Her voice trembled slightly.

“That’s right,” Xia Yu gave her a thumbs up.

"It's just what you think."

Upon hearing this, Kal'tsit felt her vision go black, then turned to the Doctor who was watching the commotion, pointed to the door and said, "Get out!"

Hearing this, the doctor was very disappointed, but he still obediently went out.

After watching her close the door, Kal'tsit slumped into a chair.

He gestured for Xia Yu to continue speaking.

"This inhibitor has a slight therapeutic effect on orthophyte disease."

Very concise and to the point.

"How slight?" Kal'tsit asked, taking a deep breath.

"Well, for someone like Amiya, one injection a month should be enough to heal her in about four or five years."

"This is already very conservative, believe me."

Kal'tsit breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

It would be good if we didn't rush to create a miracle drug that could work wonders.

but……

"So your abilities could originally be applied to potions?"

After realizing what was happening, Kal'tsit's eyes widened, and she excitedly stood up from her chair.

231 Kal'tsit's hand trembled slightly.

Kal'tsit's hand trembled slightly as she took the potion.

"Can it be cured in four or five years?"

Her voice trembled slightly.

"Well, probably," Xia Yu scratched her head. "To be honest, I'm not really sure."

"...Has it been tested on humans?"

"It's been used on the infected in the Great Knight Territory," Xia Yu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, as if he were conducting human experiments on them.

"Yes, I am absolutely certain that even if it cannot cure the disease, it will not have any effect on the human body."

Nonsense, of course it won't cause that.

These potions were all produced by Rhodes Island, and Xia Yuke did not change any of their properties from beginning to end.

As long as Rhodes Island's potions are reliable, there won't be any problems.

As for why it had this effect when Xia Yu used it...

The Holy Grail, the Almighty Holy Grail!

Although this so-called 'omnipotent' method has its limitations, it can still cure Oripathy without a doubt.

It would also be a given to develop a batch of drugs to treat Oripathy.
