The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 158 Showing Strength
S-level contaminated area.

Once it breaks out, what a bloody storm it will be, especially since it is so close to the city center!
Lin Nan and the others were taken to a warehouse-like place in District 2, located at the foot of the mountain of Ned Manor. It was originally a place where residents stored food and grass. Now that all the people at the foot of the mountain have been relocated, these places have become empty.

Many houses had been requisitioned by the army as temporary rest stops, and the one Lin Nan and his companions entered was the largest of them. This warehouse had been simply furnished with some simple beds, tables, and chairs.

People came in and out of the room one after another, and the air was filled with tension and oppression.

"Finally, you're here. How did you get the guide?"

As the police officers entered, a man in a white coat hurried out. His hair was a little messy, and his eyes were bloodshot, clearly having been busy for a long time. He soon spotted Lin Nan and his group behind him, and a flash of surprise and anticipation flashed across his eyes.

But soon, the surprise in his eyes disappeared.

"Student? Kuroba, are you kidding me?"

"Dr. Cai, the guides from other areas couldn't get here quickly enough. We borrowed these three from the Guide Academy. They're excellent."

"So what if you're excellent? Have you ever provided psychological counseling to injured soldiers?" The man in the white coat, Dr. Cai, was clearly very dissatisfied. His tone was full of doubt and disdain. "Don't let them run away in fear when they can't even get in."

Lin Nan felt a surge of displeasure when she heard this, but she tried to suppress it. However, just because she could endure it didn't mean others could as well. Ai'er stepped forward with a sullen face and said coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Where are the people who need our guidance?"

"Oh, you're a man of courage. I like that." Dr. Cai looked Al up and down, then nodded casually and turned to lead them into the warehouse.

Lin Nan followed at the end and observed the man carefully. He found that this man named Dr. Cai must have a very fast pace in his daily life and work. He walked and talked in a hurry, without any dragging his feet. The man was not a sentry or a guide. His slender and frail body belonged to that of an ordinary human. However, he was wearing the exclusive white coat of the Academia Sinica. His long, slightly greasy gray hair was casually tied behind his head. There was a lot of stubble on his chin. The huge black-framed glasses almost covered his facial features, making it almost impossible to see his specific appearance.

Dr. Cai led them to a sentry tied to a cot and said, "Then you try it first. There's a source of pollution coming out of the manor's underground sewers, and this sentry used his body to block it. When we found him, he was already suffering from self-harm. Now his brain is severely infected. If the pollution can't be cleared in time, he will become a mutant."

As Dr. Cai spoke, he lifted the sheet covering the patient. A half-human, half-lizard Sentinel appeared before everyone. His skin was covered in rough scales, and the muscles in his arms and legs were abnormally bulging, forming a distorted shape. He bared his teeth and roared at everyone, his voice sharp and piercing, filled with pain and madness.

"Ah——" Ellie screamed in fright when she saw it, and quickly hid behind Lin Nan.

Dr. Cai was attracted by the screams and turned his head. Seeing Lin Nan and Ellie's reactions, he couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"I've been saying that today's guides are really useless, especially you young boys and girls who just came out of the academy. Not only are your mental levels getting lower and lower, but you're also spoiled. If you can't even handle this kind of situation, how can you even talk about going to the contaminated area for rescue? It's a joke." His tone was full of contempt, and his eyes revealed undisguised disappointment and disdain.

While they were talking, the condition of the sentry tied to the bed became worse. His eyes were red and his eyes revealed a kind of irrational ferocity. He kept struggling, trying to break free from the restraints.

Seeing this, Dr. Cai sighed and said to the soldier behind him: "This guy is hopeless. Drag him out and kill him quickly--" The soldier saluted and was about to move forward to move the person, but was stopped by a faster figure.

"I'll try." Al had already come to the camp bed. He gently put his hand on the patient's forehead, and a white rabbit appeared in front of everyone. Because the infected soldier was tied up all over, he couldn't hurt Al. He just made a low roar in his throat, and his body kept twisting because of the struggle. The veins on his arms bulged, showing that he was in extreme pain and mania at the moment.

The white rabbit looked extremely docile, its long ears swaying gently. It slowly approached the soldier, and then its red eyes lit up. A loud noise was heard, and the ground suddenly sank in a circle with Al's body as the center, as if it had been attacked by something.

Everyone was startled by this sudden development. It turned out that Al had just unleashed a suppressing skill, and the once ferocious Sentinel had instantly passed out under the gravity attack. His body slumped limply on the bed, the ferocious expression on his face gradually fading, replaced by a pale pallor.

Seeing that the patient had calmed down, Al finally released his mental thread with satisfaction and entered the patient's mental image.

[Hiss~ This rabbit is so violent! ]

【He knocked the guy unconscious! 】

[It hurts just watching it, I feel bad for the patient...]

The vines that had been watching the whole process were already making a lot of noise in Lin Nan's brain, and they all took a breath.

Lin Nan was also a little surprised, but she was not amazed that Al had such ability, but she was surprised that he could beat someone up before counseling them?

But it seems to be effective, so she will try it next time.

Al's extraordinary behavior made Dr. Cai, who was originally chattering beside him, shut up completely.

The white mental thread belonging only to the guide quickly penetrated into the patient's brain. Because Al's level was high enough and the difference in strength between him and the patient was not that big, he only needed to touch the other's forehead with one hand to successfully connect with him mentally.

Mental counseling is a therapeutic behavior that only exists in the brain. Each guide has his or her own unique counseling method. Lin Nan couldn't see how El was doing it, but he saw that after a while, the patient's alienated characteristics began to slowly fade away.

The skin that was originally covered with rough scales gradually regained the texture of human skin, and the abnormally bulging and twisted muscles gradually smoothed out...

On the detector next to it, the blood-red data also slowly decreased. Although it did not drop much, it had at least returned to a safe value.

The rabbit's skill, gravity control, is inspired by the soft-bone rabbit.

Let’s look at Meibao’s next chapter and give you a big one.
