Chapter 61 You Let a Beast In

The illusion around Yu Xia disappeared, and she returned to the original room scene.

The room was pitch black, with only a faint glow spreading outward from her.

Just when she thought the test was over, someone pushed open the door of the room.

Some light came in, dispelling a corner of darkness.

She looked up following the sound and saw a tall figure at the door.

That should be a sentinel. Even without looking at his slender and agile figure like a sentinel, she could sense the aura of anxiety emanating from him.

The sentry was standing with his back to the light, his face hidden in the darkness; she could only see his short, snow-white hair with a halo of light.

In just a moment, the door was closed again.

The sentry's figure disappeared along with the light and sank into the thick darkness.

Silence returned to the room. Somehow, Yu Xia felt a familiar sense of pressure in his heart.

Her eyes were fixed straight ahead.

The sentry was walking towards her, his footsteps so soft that they were almost inaudible.

The closer he got, the more pressure Yu Xia felt.

She could sense the suppressed mania in him, the same as she had sensed from the sentinels in the contaminated zone, but... a little different.

She couldn't explain why, but it was this manic aura he gave off that made her feel stressed.

This aura carried a certain sense of oppression, which instantly brought out her attacking instinct.

But now she is not in the mental image, and she doesn't know how to use mental power to attack in reality.

Soon, a pair of long legs stopped one meter in front of her.

Yu Xia looked up along the legs and met a pair of blood-red, cold eyes.

Seeing the familiar delicate eyebrows and eyes, Yu Xia was slightly startled.

It was his white iguana sentinel.

No wonder she felt this breath was a little familiar.

She saw that he was wearing a simple black short-sleeved training uniform, a black collar around his neck, and some silver scales growing on the sides of his cheeks. He looked at her with the same expression as when he was in the contaminated area, without any emotion, as if he was looking at a stone on the side of the road.

Renault lowered his eyes to look at the girl sitting on the ground, then took a step forward.

Seeing him approaching, Yu Xia stepped back subconsciously.

She clearly felt that he was on the verge of frenzy like the sentinels in the contaminated area, and even had more severe mental damage, but he did not show any signs of anxiety.

But even so, she felt that he was even more dangerous at the moment.

"Alex! Stop the test."

Melia saw the sentry entering the test room with a grim expression, "You've let a beast in! He's on the verge of going berserk and could go crazy at any moment."

Caesar next to him said, "Don't worry, Lady Melia. We put an electric shock collar on him."

"I'm not blind." Melia said coldly, "You made him look like this. If he goes crazy, do you think a small electric shock collar will be useful?"

"He did something wrong, and I just punished him a little. Now, I'll give him a small reward." Alex turned his head slightly to look at Melia. "Besides, aren't you here, Melia?"

Melia sighed and shook her head at Alex's behavior. "Even if she is just an adopted child with no identity and no guardian, you shouldn't do this."

Alex: "I'll keep her safe."

Melia closed her eyes and released her mental power. "You have to not only ensure her safety, but also don't treat her as a toy, Alex. You are not a child anymore." Alex stared at the projection and said softly, "Don't be nervous. It's just a routine test. Let's see what she can do."

Yu Xia stared closely at the movements of the sentry in front of him, his expression, movements and mental strength all showing a defensive posture.

Seeing her retreat, Renault stopped moving forward.

Yu Xia was about to say something to him when she saw him pull out a chair from somewhere, and then he leaned towards her. Without waiting for her to react, he grasped her waist with his big hands, lifted her up gently, and sat her down on the chair.

Yu Xia looked at him with her lips slightly parted, and it took her a while to find her voice again, "Hello, we meet again."

Renault half-knelt in front of her, looking at her at eye level.

Seeing that he was just staring at her without saying anything, Yu Xia calmed down and asked, "The test is not over yet, right? What do you need me to do?"

Renault lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on her hands clasped in her lap.

Yu Xia looked at Renault quietly. There seemed to be scars on his neck, but most of them were covered by the black collar around his neck.

Seeing that he was staring at her hands, she thought for a moment and tentatively reached out her hand to him.

Renault's eyes followed her movements.

Yu Xia felt his mental power fluctuate for a moment, and a light bulb suddenly lit up in his head, and he said, "Do you want me to help you with your mental state?"

Renault's eyes moved, he looked up at her, and squeezed out a very light sound from his throat.

Yu Xia felt that his voice was different from before. Even though it was very soft, it was still very hoarse.

After all, she grew up with her father. Even if she had no talent in medicine, she had seen many patients and knew roughly what diseases they had and what injuries they suffered.

"Are you hurt?" Yu Xia stretched out her hand to reach for the electric shock collar on his neck, but before she touched it, he grabbed her wrist.

"Don't touch."

Yu Xia heard the voice he managed to squeeze out and frowned slightly, "Why are you wearing this? You didn't have it before."

Renault didn't answer her.

"Okay." Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yu Xia stopped asking.

She glanced around the room, didn't see any changes, and thought that the sentinel in front of her should be her last test.

However, once she entered the mental picture, she was not sure whether the powerful guide behind her would be able to see anything.

She now doesn't trust those who tested her behind her back.

The burning touch on her hand brought her back to her senses. She lowered her eyes and saw that Renault's hand, which was originally holding her wrist, was now holding her palm.

He lowered his head slightly and didn't look at her again.

Seeing this, Yu Xia raised his eyebrows slightly.

She was indeed a little afraid of him, probably because his aura was too strong and kept strangers away.

But she also knew that it was with his help that she and Huo Lin were able to get out of the contaminated area. Although there must have been some kind of exchange of interests, it was a fact that he saved her.

"Your hand is so hot." Yu Xia pulled her hand out of his. Just when Renault thought she didn't like touching him, her hand was already on his head. "Your name is Renault, right? I remember your name."

Renault's move to dodge stopped abruptly.

"I may not be doing a good job in spiritual counseling." Yu Xia said softly, "Please bear with me."

After that, Yu Xia said in a relaxed tone to ease the atmosphere: "But I am less afraid of lizards than snakes."

When the people in the observation room heard Yu Xia's words, they all looked at Alex.
