Top guide! The Sentinels were mesmerized

Chapter 2 Growth
"Black Tower. Spiritual Power. Guide?"

Qianzhi's fingers brushed over the "Introduction to the Empire" and leaned back in the extremely soft medical cabin, looking confusedly at the man in the white medical uniform in front of him.

When she woke up, she was already in this bright and spacious medical room, and the man in front of her called her a guide.

His red eyes were looking at her through the translucent display showing the numerical values:
"Yes, Admiral Bo Lan found you in the jungle of District 9. You are the eighth guide of District 9 and the most precious treasure of the empire."

There are a total of 5,000 military and mercenary sentries in District 9.

So far, there are only eight guides in the Ninth District.

The Interstellar Empire has been waging an endless war with the Zerg since thousands of years ago.

The sentinels, who possess extremely strong physical and mental strength, have become the strongest fighting force in the army.

But correspondingly, their spirits must also bear a huge burden and are easily eroded by the Zerg's pollution and power bursts. In the end, they have to be destroyed like scrapped machines.

The guide corresponding to the sentinel can eliminate the mental burden of the sentinel, so that the empire's combat power can be maintained, thus continuing the prosperity of the empire.

However, as time went on, the number of guides became fewer and fewer, even reaching a terrifying level of 1:500 or above.

Moreover, the spiritual power of the guides is getting worse and worse, and there are fewer and fewer people who can eliminate all emotional burdens of S-level sentinels.

So almost all Sentinels have to take suppressants, or receive medication and medical treatment to eliminate negative emotions.

But the mental and physical risks it brings are also irreversible.

Therefore, even guides of lower ranks are still the center of attention in this era when spiritual comfort is in short supply.

Therefore, the status of guides became increasingly higher.

By now, they are almost comparable to the imperial nobility.

Lu Chenzhou could hardly restrain himself from looking at Qianzhi.

The girl in front of him was petite and slender, with fluffy black hair covering her thin shoulders, making her face look very small. She had emerald green eyes with slightly drooping corners, and looked infinitely well-behaved and gentle.

Just like the spiritual being that appeared beside her, it was fragile and easily broken.

He thought that perhaps it was her fragile nature that stimulated her spirit and made her forget everything about the empire.

He scanned Qianzhi's information and found that there was no file in the imperial citizen archives, which only meant that she might have been resold by space pirates.

As a precious resource of the empire, guides are the primary target of plunder by space pirates.

Those pirates would capture those youngsters who had not yet been profiled and who might grow up to be guides, brainwash them, and then sell them to other galaxies. Not only would these poor guides have to face the terror of tens of thousands of sentinels, but they would also die in a foreign land.

Thinking of this, Lu Chenzhou's eyes became more compassionate and soft.

If his colleagues saw his expression, they would definitely be amazed that the iron tree that had lived for thousands of years could bloom in an instant.

"Doctor Lu." Qianzhi raised her head and spoke softly, but found that the handsome doctor trembled slightly, and the white ears hidden behind his black hair suddenly turned red.

".What's wrong with you?" I didn't expect that this icy handsome guy would have red ears, which was quite a cute contrast.

"You don't have to use honorifics with me," Lu Chenzhou clenched his fingers, placed them next to his lips and coughed lightly.

He didn't expect when his ears became so sensitive, nor did he expect that one day he would be so immune to the guide.

In the quiet fantasy, the girl's sweet voice seemed to have a soft substance like marshmallow, floating along his ear canal and sliding into his heart, making his heart tremble uncontrollably.

"Do you have any other questions?" He quickly changed the subject.

"What do we mean by spiritual body here?" The little girl held up the manual and shook it cutely like a young plant swaying in the wind.

"It's the one next to you," the man pointed to the dodder vine that was extending its branches next to her, "It will appear when you feel safe or comfortable. Later, when you regain your memory or become proficient in controlling it, it will extend or retract according to your consciousness."

Only then did Qianzhi notice the tender yellow branches swaying around him.

For the first time, her calm and gentle expression changed.

——Her true identity was exposed?

"Don't be afraid," Lu Chenzhou quickly took two steps towards her, then restrainedly stopped one step away from her.

"This is just our spiritual body. It won't hurt us."

He released his spirit body.

It was a huge, gorgeous red flower, its leaves spreading out almost across the entire room.

"This is a Piranha Plant. It's a plant like you."

"It's beautiful." Qianzhi looked at the beautiful flower and whispered. This reminded her of a red flower that she once depended on as a plant.

It was strong and provided her with nutrients.

The dodder vines stretched out slowly, along the petals of the carnivorous plant, into its core, and gently stroked the raised soft thorns on the core with the end of the vines.

"Hmm--" When his spiritual body was touched by Qianzhi, Lu Chenzhou did not expect that as the most rational sentinel in the army, he would lose his composure like this at this moment.

His legs and feet went weak almost instantly, and his spine was shivering with numbness as if he had been electrocuted.

The sticky and hot sweat flowed down his white forehead and hit Qianzhi's outstretched slender white wrist.

This made Qianzhi come to his senses and retract the vines.

"Sorry, Dr. Lu, I'm not used to it yet." She shyly coiled the branches into a small ball, and sometimes almost forgot that she was a person, not a plant.

Moreover, the juice of the gorgeous plant in front of her tasted so sweet that she climbed up almost instinctively.

"Please don't apologize to me, it's my mistake." The man took two quick breaths and immediately called up Qianzhi's data tablet to check.

"Assuming you don't understand spiritual comfort, I am derelict in my duty to expose my spiritual body and allow you to touch it."

His spiritual body had just been touched by Qianzhi, and his mind was particularly clear and comfortable, but he didn't bother to check his own condition.

He remembered that Qianzhi's mental power level was only the lowest level D, and that mentally comforting two S-level sentinels in such a short period of time could easily cause irreversible mental damage to the guide.

He would never forgive himself if any problems arose for Chizhi because of him.

But the data on the panel made Lu Chenzhou’s eyes widen quickly.

C level?
Lu Chenzhou remembered the category of Qianzhi's mental power.

A very special invasive healing system.

Now he finally understood the meaning of this category.

The blocked and stagnant emotional circuits were invaded by small branches and leaves, which slowly pried them open, allowing those dirty and painful emotions to flow out.

There are also those unrelieved pleasures and the comfort of being wrapped and licked by the leaves of the vines.
"Doctor Lu, what's wrong with me?" Qianzhi looked at the man with a surprised expression.

"Your spiritual power is very prosperous, just like these branches of yours, with strong vitality." As the chief doctor, it was the first time that Lu Chenzhou saw a guide who could evolve so quickly.

Not only will it not be drained of its mental strength or devoured by the Sentinels, but it will also transform the Sentinels' negative emotions into growth energy.

Maybe, she will become the strongest guide in the empire.

"Oh, thank you for the compliment, doctor." The little girl blinked her watery black eyes and thought slowly like a real plant.

The man's fingers trembled again: "You are so polite."

The empire's guides have been spoiled and have developed an extremely domineering temperament.

It was the first time he heard the word "thank you" from the guide's mouth. It really shocked him and at the same time, he felt a strange throbbing in his heart.

I really want her to be my guide, to mark myself, to make myself hers.

Qianzhi licked her slightly dry upper lip and fixed her gaze on Lu Chenzhou's forehead.

There was also a drop of sweat there, which smelled rich and attractive like poppy or datura.

She had just eaten the pistil part, and wondered if the real person was as delicious as his spiritual form.

And the man who saved him.

She still remembered his tanned complexion and the smell of his warm skin.

It's a bit like melted dark chocolate, slightly bitter with a rich sweetness.

"Doctor Lu, where is the person who saved me?" She looked around.

It has been an hour since I woke up, and the man has not appeared yet.

Lu Chenzhou's expression changed.

If it was another guide, he might hope that the rude man would disappear as soon as possible, but this girl might be different.

The noble and elegant man clenched his fingers slightly, pursed his lips and thought for a moment.

Then he came to my side, half-knelt down, and pleaded tremblingly:

"Please, save Bo Lan."
