The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 21 Dirty Puppy
The pollution is very serious.

I hate this place.

[Get out now. I don't want to stay here any longer. It's uncomfortable.]

There were sparse sounds in his mind again, and under Lin Nan's feet, several dancing shadows were looming.

Avoiding the surveillance and exploration of outsiders, the branches of her spiritual body stretched out wantonly, and the noisy sounds instantly conquered Lin Nan's brain.

[Boss, let's get out of here.]

[This place is starting to collapse, dangerous! ]

【…】

The branches chirped. The perception of spiritual bodies is always sharper than that of humans. Sure enough, after their voices fell, the sinkhole began to shake, and fine mud and stone powder began to fall from the ceiling.

The wooden plank beneath Lin Nan's feet cracked in an instant. She hurried back from the window and stood in the cave in the mountain.

The cabin was in tatters, and a biting cold draft was howling through the hallway.

Lin Nan searched through his memories and realized that this kind of shock was a reflection of the sentinel's extremely unstable emotions. When all the scenes in the picture collapsed, it meant that this person was about to completely lose his mind.

I learned in my cultural studies class that as a guide, at times like this, I should find the sentinel's spirit body as quickly as possible.

But she has been in the spiritual image for such a long time, why hasn’t she seen the sentinel’s spirit body yet?

She concentrated her mind and searched around. The dancing vines centered around her and climbed freely on the cliff walls, as if they had spread out a huge spider web.

Every time her vines moved, the sentinel's body in reality trembled a little. He was still in a coma, but his mind was suffering from a different kind of torture. The invisible itch followed him like a shadow, tightly entwining his consciousness.

Sweat flowed on the strong chest muscles, rolled down along the bulging muscle lines, and slid deep into the strong lower abdomen.

The sentry was filled with restlessness.

Lin Nan heard another violent noise. The surrounding wooden houses finally couldn't bear the pressure, and the floorboards broke completely.

Many houses had fallen off the cliff. She looked down from the gap in the crack and saw a bottomless abyss that was so deep that it was difficult to measure.

There is nothing above, could it be below?
Thinking of this, Lin Nan stood up straight, and before the wooden house she was in completely cracked, she jumped up and jumped directly down.

The wind whistled past his ears, scratching his cheeks painfully. Lin Nan's eyes were blown so hard that he could hardly open them. He could only vaguely see the surrounding scenery flash by quickly.

Her body was rapidly falling, and the weightless feeling was like being abandoned by the whole world. Her heart seemed to be suspended in mid-air, beating violently. She felt like a helpless leaf, swaying in the wind.

Below was an endless abyss with no end in sight. A thick darkness surged in like a tide, gradually swallowing her up. Although she was in the spiritual world and knew that everything was fake, she still felt an indescribable fear.

It was as if a huge mouth would suddenly emerge from the abyss at any time and swallow her up mercilessly.

Don't be fooled by virtual appearances, and walk firmly on your own righteous path.

She suddenly remembered a sentence from her textbook.

A low-level guide can easily get lost in the Sentinel's vast spiritual world, especially when the level difference between the two is too large. Going beyond the level of the Sentinel can easily lead to various dangerous symptoms.

This is why the Sentinels' deep spiritual counseling needs to be coordinated by the White Tower Center.

This is also a kind of protection for the guide.

Lin Nan hung in the air, slowly closing her eyes and trying her best to ignore all distractions around her. She knew that as long as she remained unaffected by the outside world, then on a spiritual level, the guide would be invincible.

【stop.】

She gave herself a psychological hint.

Then, just as she imagined, her body came to a sudden stop in mid-air. Everything around her also came to a complete standstill: the shattered houses frozen in place, the tumbling boulders stopped mid-route, and the thick, seemingly insoluble mud—all of it, as if time had been paused, remained motionless. This was Lin Nan's first time doing this, and she found it incredibly novel.

She looked again at the abyss beneath her feet.

After she gave the command to [dissolve], the darkness faded away, gradually revealing all the scenes at the bottom.

A blurry figure was huddled behind a broken wooden wall, peeking at her warily.

Shouldn't it be a giant black wolf? Why is it a dirty little dog?

A question mark popped up in Lin Nan's head. She landed on the ground, walked to the puppy, squatted down, and waved to it.

In the original world, Lin Nan also had a dog, a chubby little Corgi, which was abandoned by someone else and she picked it up.

The original owners were a young couple who had a fight and broke up, so they threw away the puppy they raised together. Lin Nan lived in the same apartment building with them. One day, when she came home from work late, she saw the puppy huddled in the corner of the corridor, shivering.

Seeing that uneasy and helpless look, Lin Nan's heart softened instantly, so she took it home.

The weak and helpless look in her memory seemed to merge with the puppy in front of her, reminding the girl of her original world.

"Good boy, come here."

She said softly.

The puppy moved its ears sensitively and sniffed the air, as if trying to identify something.

It was in a very bad condition, with wounds all over its body, and its black fur was greasy and sticky from something.

Perhaps sensing that Lin Nan had no ill intentions, it grew a little bolder and slowly emerged from behind the wooden board. Lin Nan's figure was reflected in its dark green eyes.

"So good." She gently picked it up. The skinny wolf cub was hugged for the first time. It struggled uneasily for a while, but probably felt that the girl's arms were too comfortable, so it calmed down consciously. Lin Nan's hand stroked the wolf cub's body over and over again, and it let out a comfortable moan.

The Guide is naturally able to soothe the emotional trauma of the Sentinel. Even an unconscious touch can relieve the pain of the tortured spirit.

Lin Nan was instantly touched by the cuteness, and the vines around her also became excited and rushed towards the little wolf cub in her arms.

After a while, the vines rolled up the wolf cub's body into a ball, and countless suckers rubbed its fur, and branches moved over its sensitive parts.

【Cute and furry.】

【It sounds so nice.】

【If you touch this place, it will shake.】

[Really? Let me try it too.]

【I also want. 】

It is sweet.

【…】

The entangled wolf cub howled again, but soon stifled it.

It struggled, but its body was limp and had no strength at all. It was cautious and wary of the opponent in the previous second, but was turned over on its belly by the touch in the next second.

so comfortable...

On the rack, the sentry, hanging high up, bit his trembling lips tightly. He used to have a body as strong and resolute as steel, but now, simply because of the guide's intrusion, he became incredibly soft.
