The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 157 Rescue
Lan Yin was stunned when she saw this.

He suddenly remembered the simple and honest young man who had held a tray of champagne, humbly surrendered, and knelt at Ireland's feet not long ago.

But now, he had clearly transformed into a hideous beast, emitting a terrifying aura. Yet, even so, deep down, he seemed to still be deeply attached to his guide. It was a twisted, persistent emotion, like a wisp of obsession in the darkness, tightly wrapped around his already out-of-control soul.

His actions were like falling into a dream that had been repeated countless times. In this dream, he finally imprisoned the girl in the cage he had carefully crafted, as if only in this way could he possess her and prevent her from leaving him.

That cage, cold and solid, was the product of his crazy obsession.

Urd's mental landscape, unknowingly beginning at some point, had been quietly invaded by the source of contamination. Even at this moment, he was still undergoing a transformation, his chaotic mental energy like a surging undercurrent, wantonly filling the surrounding air.

"The transformation isn't complete yet, so he can still be saved." Tina's voice came from a distance, "But he's been marked. Now only his guide can save him. See if Ireland is still alive?"

Lan Yin extended the tentacles of her spiritual body, but before it touched the girl, the huge monster shrank back and its figure completely disappeared into the void again.

"He escaped." Lan Yin felt nothing and frowned.

"What happened? Why are we suddenly asked to go to the meeting room?"

In the guide dormitory, Ellie looked at the notification coming from the terminal and asked curiously.

Generally speaking, schools don't let students go there unless there are large-scale events or important meetings?
Could it be that because of what happened in District 2, the pollution source has spread here?

"I don't know. Let's go take a look first." Lin Nan hurriedly changed his clothes and went out with Ellie.

Along the way, the originally quiet campus became noisy, and students poured out of the dormitories one after another, with puzzled and nervous expressions on their faces. Everyone was talking in low voices.

"I don't know what happened. Could it be related to the contaminated area?"

"Oh, I'm so scared. I hope it's nothing serious."

"No matter what, let's go and take a look first and listen to the teacher's arrangements."

"..."

Lin Nan blended into the crowd and quickened her pace. When she arrived at the meeting room, many students had already gathered inside.

On the stage, several mentors stood together with serious expressions, talking in low voices, with a hint of anxiety in their eyes.

"Everyone, I'm sure you all know what happened in District 2 last night. The school has received an emergency deployment notice from the central government. Because the White Tower is short of guides, we need to borrow a few guides from the school to go to the accident site for rescue..."

Before the instructor on the stage finished speaking, a burst of noise erupted around Lin Nan.

"What?! This is too dangerous."

"I won't go. I just came back from District 2, and now you want me to go there again."

"My parents wouldn't agree. It's a terrible source of pollution..."

"Don't the military have their own guides? At worst, there are guide offices. Why do we have to go..."

Various voices, filled with strong resistance and dissatisfaction, filled the entire hall. Lin Nan closed his eyes uncomfortably. As expected.

She thought that the banquet at Ned Manor last night involved too many people, and many guides working in the White Tower must have gone, which led to the current shortage of manpower.

There are already few guide resources, and now a large number of them are trapped...

"Everyone, please calm down. This is an emergency." The instructor raised his voice, thrusting his hands downward in an attempt to calm the bustling hall. "The situation in District Two is not optimistic. Every second of delay could endanger more innocent lives. As students of the Guide Academy, we shoulder a special mission and responsibility. At this critical moment, someone needs to step forward!"

The students in the audience were still talking about it. Although the instructor's words touched everyone's hearts, fear and worry still prevailed.

This is different from participating in a league. The league's competition venues are at least protected by officials, but now it is a real pollution outbreak area.

They are still so weak and haven't even participated in an internship, and now they are sent to rescue in the contaminated area——

This is really hard to accept.

The students present had expressions of fear on their faces and were whispering to each other, their voices filled with resistance and anxiety.

However, there were some people who were different. Among the group of timid people, there was a thin young man who stood up.

"I'll go!" The young man's voice was clear and powerful, and it was particularly clear in this noisy hall. As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings instantly became quiet.
Lin Nan looked over and saw that among the guides, who were almost all female, the boy's figure stood out particularly.

"Okay, okay, thank you very much, Al. Is there anyone else willing to go?" The instructor breathed a sigh of relief on the stage. His eyes were full of anticipation as he scanned the students in the audience, hoping that more people would step forward.

The hall fell silent again. The students looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.

"I'll go too." Lin Nan raised his hand silently.

She could feel the gazes around her, and they were suddenly focused on her.

This made Ellie beside her very embarrassed. Seeing that her brother and friends had participated, she could only accept her fate and raised her hand, crying:

"Then I'll go too."

"Great, please ask these three students to follow me!"

There was almost no time for them to hesitate. Lin Nan and others followed their instructor and got into a military car.

They were escorted by the guards of the White Tower. Lin Nan had seen one of them before. He had an oriental appearance with black hair and black eyes, and his spirit form was a crow sentinel.

The sentry was visibly taken aback when he saw Lin Nan among the rescue team that had been temporarily dispatched from the academy. He quickly regained his composure and said, "Thank you for your assistance, Excellencies. The pollution level in Area 2 has overflowed, and many of our soldiers have been infected. We're short on guides in the White Tower, so we're in need of some help."

Having said this, Hei Yu paused, and then added: "But don't worry, the infected soldiers have been sent to a safe place, and we will also protect several of you."

"What's going on now?" Al asked.

"The people in the contaminated area haven't been rescued yet. We only have half of the golden 24 hours left, but—" the police officer frowned deeply. "It might not be too optimistic. The assessment report from the front is out. The level of this contaminated area is S-level..."
