Arknights' Lock of Heaven

The evil spirits of the Tower of Babel are terrifying beyond measure.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu narrowed her eyes, trying to remain calm, and replied calmly, "I have never been defeated."

What is the art of language?

No battle, no defeat! No romance, no failed romance!

Listen to this, and you'll see what the art of language truly is!

Even so, Xia Yu's heart remained heavy.

Now that the doctor has discerned the weakness in his previous words, he probably won't let this place go so easily.

What I'm about to face is a barrage of attacks!

Thinking of this, Xia Yu held her breath and prepared for battle.

At this moment, a brief silence fell between the two theoretical masters atop Mount Siesta.

Like two cowboys in the Western West, gripping their beloved revolvers in the dim sunset, staring intently at each other's weaknesses.

In reality, it was just a bunch of noobs fighting each other.

The doctor was preoccupied with his own imagination and didn't notice Xia Yu's flaw.

Xia Yu... took the professor's casual change of topic as an indication that the other party had seen through her level, so she was on high alert.

How did things develop to this point?

That's no longer important.

The important thing is that neither of them has a way out.

Only by moving forward! Forging a path through thorns.

As expected of the evil spirit of the Tower of Babel, the Doctor quickly calmed himself down and regained his composure.

But what she didn't know was that she had already missed a golden opportunity.

Xia Yu, however, remained on high alert, mistaking the doctor's silence for confidence.

This woman… He looked at the doctor’s dark mask. Was she fearless?

Silence...is it waiting for me to surrender and admit defeat?

Through the mask, Xia Yu couldn't see her expression.

But it's more like smugness!

Xia Yu gritted her teeth and looked at the doctor on her chest. "Are you smug?"

Are you waiting for me to admit defeat? And then obediently hand over my weaknesses so you can do whatever you want with me?

The evil spirits of the Tower of Babel... truly live up to their name.

Both being theoretical masters, they saw through each other's lies immediately.

Xia Yu didn't think that ambiguous statement about never having been defeated could fool her.

Indeed, a doctor in a normal state would immediately spot the flaw in that statement... but unfortunately, she wasn't acting normally just now.

If Xia Yu had just lifted her mask, he would have been able to see the doctor blushing and looking shy.

However, he was not that kind of person. Even though he could use magic to unveil the secret, his pride wouldn't allow him to do so.

The doctor missed a golden opportunity, and so did Xia Yu.

I will not admit defeat! Xia Yu gritted her teeth, determined not to give up, even if it meant stubbornly refusing to back down!

Absolutely not!

Seeing each other's silence, both of them were filled with fighting spirit!

then……

"Oh……"

The doctor's aching hands finally gave way, and as she looked up from her panicked state of mind, she saw Xia Yu's eyes burning with passion as she looked at her.

For a moment, she was lost in thought.

Already weak, and having supported herself for so long with her arms, she instinctively let go in a moment of distraction.

She lay sprawled across Xia Yu's lap.

Xia Yu was stunned when she saw this.

Then he revealed a smug smile.

Ha, ha, ha, ha... ha, ha!

He was laughing inwardly!

In the end... in the end, I still won!

You're overestimating yourself! Do you even know what it means for a villain to die from talking too much?

Oh, you didn't say anything, but you tried to make me back down despite your physical weakness. Now you're reaping the consequences!

Hahahaha!

Although I relied on the advantage of location, I still won in the end!

If it were before, as long as you refused to let go, would I have been able to use brute force to take you down?

As for my other skills... I, Xia Yu, am second to none! Since this is just a verbal exchange, I naturally can't use them!

Now, you have nothing left to threaten me. As long as I leave... what can a weakling like you do?

Xia Yu wore a victor's smile.

Upon seeing this, the doctor took a deep breath.

Failed……

Ultimately, it failed.

Now, it's time to consider the options ahead.

Before things become irreversible.

Then, she took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and let her breathing become long and deep…

She looked as if she had fallen asleep.

The ultimate technique—playing dead!

As long as I'm thick-skinned enough, as long as none of this exists today!

The absence of a third party is both my disadvantage and my escape route!

If no one sees it, who will know what happened here?

Are you going to tell everyone? To tell everyone everything that happened today?

Upon seeing this, Xia Yu's expression froze.

Then he gave the doctor a deep look.

You are truly despicable right now.

Upon seeing this, the doctor smiled slightly behind his mask.

You are too naive, my friend. This is our war, a war of life and death!

There is no question of being despicable here!

Only the victors can write history!

She closed her eyes comfortably on Xia Yu's legs, even adjusting herself to a comfortable position.

Then, make even breathing sounds and pretend you're asleep.

Even Xia Yu wouldn't be able to walk away under these circumstances.

With this thought in mind, she gradually drifted off to sleep under the warm sunshine of Siesta.

Only a slight smile at the corner of her mouth showed that she was in a very happy mood.

317 The Thoughts of a Doctor

She's really asleep...

Xia Yu looked at the doctor, who was sleeping soundly with his knees tucked in, and shook her head.

This guy... tsk.

She hesitated.

She is afraid.

Xia Yu could vaguely guess a bit.

Why do PhD students always find all sorts of reasons to approach and provoke you?

Why does she always hide her true intentions beneath a playful smile?
