The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 23 Don't Be Deceived

Thinking of this, Lin Nan felt a chill.

Her spirit body actually ate those things, wouldn't it be poisoned?

She hurried back to her brain and saw that the vines were now quietly buried in the soil and sleeping soundly.

She picked them up one by one and checked them. After turning them over and over and finding nothing unusual, she retreated with peace of mind.

"Although I haven't given the sentinels any in-depth counseling yet, I've heard from senior students that we must be cautious with these sentinels and never be soft-hearted or fooled by their lies. Otherwise, you'll lose your virginity and suffer mental and physical pain."

"Director Huo Sen is the same. There are so many senior guides in the White Tower, but he doesn't use them. Why does he force you, a student, to do his purification? Alienated sentinels, so terrifying. When they go crazy, they won't recognize anyone."

Seeing her indignant expression, Lin Nan felt a little amused and said, "It's normal for a sentinel to ask a guide for purification when they have a need. Why are you so resistant?"

"Nan Nan, how can you still have such thoughts!" Ellie widened her eyes, with deep disapproval in her eyes, "Guides are the most important people in the world, and our abilities are gifts from God. No matter how high the rank of the sentinels or how high their official positions are, once they have mental problems, they can only rely on us guides to purify them. This is what they ask of us, so how can you treat us so casually and rudely?" Ellie said, waving her arms angrily, as if she was telling about a great injustice.

"And..." Her worried gaze fell on Lin Nan again, "Nan Nan, I know you didn't do well in your exams and you might be worried about your internship, but don't get too close to Director Huo Sen because of this. He has a bad reputation here, so be careful."

?

Lin Nan tilted his head in confusion, not quite understanding.

Ellie looked around, making sure they were the only two in the room. Then she leaned over to Lin Nan's ear and whispered, "You don't know yet, but Director Huo Sen is blacklisted by the guides. I heard that when he was still an officer, he was very rude to the guides accompanying the army. He even had a terrible performance evaluation system. If a guide failed to complete their mission, not only would they not receive their salary, but they would also have to devote themselves to the sentries and provide intensive counseling on a voluntary basis."

Performance?

assessment?

Can’t get paid!!

"So scary?"

"That's right. Guides should be worshipped wherever they go. But in Director Huo Sen's team, they never have a good day. So no one dares to join his team anymore."

"Later, the director was retired by the White Tower because the pollution levels were too high. He had been working at the White Tower and had proposed some proposals specifically for guide reform. Fortunately, the White Tower's top management didn't pass them, otherwise our benefits would have been cut in half!"

At this point, Ellie seemed to have recalled a nightmare, her face pale. "A lot of people are saying that he's now the Dean of Academic Affairs at the Guide Academy because his proposal was rejected, and then he wants to start with the easy-to-control students. Oh my God—now, whenever I think about the possibility of having to work a 996 punch-in system in the future, with bonuses tied to performance, I want to go crazy. Even cattle and horses don't have such a hard life—"

Lin (real cow, horse, social animal) murmured: ...

Haha, you are being modest. Real people are more than this.

"So, don't do this stupid thing of doing deep counseling for people in private anymore, otherwise they will shamelessly ask for more and cling to you like a fly—"

Ellie, like a caring older sister, gave her half of the apple and patted Lin Nan's shoulder heavily.

Lin Nan took it, took a bite, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Not long after, she asked again, "Ellie, what's your mental practice score?"

Ellie looked up and thought for a moment: "90 points."

So tall?! Lin Nan looked at her in surprise. You can’t judge a person by his appearance.

"I was lucky enough to be matched with a B-rank Sentinel like me, and then I was able to guide him very easily."

"Why are your grades so high? What on earth is spiritual counseling?"

"Hmm... well," Ellie thought for a moment. "Once you can differentiate these into guides, you'll naturally understand. Spirits are attracted to each other. For example, my baby sea otter has the skill 'Washing'. He can create a lot of bubbles to wash away the pollutants."

The pollution level dropped after the pollutants were cleaned. It was the same principle as cleaning in real life, but her spirit body only caused destruction. Not only did it not clean up the garbage, it also destroyed it to pieces, and in the process, it also destroyed the owner's house...

When Lin Nan thought of this, she couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand. It was right for others to hate her because she was indeed very bad and rude.

Her spirit body currently only has one skill, "parasitism". This skill sounds powerful, but it has not yet shown any effect except lying on others to absorb energy.

Lin Nan suddenly thought of the scene of those vines absorbing pollutants, and his heart skipped a beat!

No way, is that what that skill means?

Isn’t she a “broom and rag” but a vacuum cleaner?
Lin Nan actually wanted to ask Ellie whether her spirit body had ever "eaten" pollutants, but the thought was too horrifying, so she didn't ask.

At the moment, it seems that there is nothing abnormal with her vines, so there should be no problem.

And she didn't know if she was seeing things, but after this deep union with the black wolf, she felt like her spirit body had grown a bit larger...

The vines were still sleeping, and his mind was peaceful and quiet. A faint beam of light shone into the originally small, square piece of land, and gently spread over the land. Lin Nan felt that something was breaking through the soil and flying upwards.

what is this?
She felt something was wrong and was about to return to her brain to find out what was going on when a gentle voice sounded outside the door at the right moment.

"Excuse me, students. The director and I are here to visit. Would it be convenient for you to come in?"

Two black figures, one in front and one behind, were standing quietly and politely outside the door.

!

When Ellie saw the person coming, she shuddered all over. Her originally indignant face instantly became obedient. She hurriedly stood up respectfully and called for help.

"Director Huo."

The leading man looked at Ellie and nodded lightly.

The assistant behind him quickly stepped forward and nodded to Ellie, saying, "Ellie, are you feeling better now? When I came over just now, I heard the chief medical officer was looking for you. It seems there are discharge documents that need your signature."

"Oh, I'll go right away." Like all the students in the school, Ellie hated and feared the director. Seeing a chance to slip away, she wished she could disappear underground immediately.

When she left, she turned back and reminded Lin Nan on the bed, "I'll leave first. Remember what I said. Don't be..." When she saw Huo Sen's face, her words were choked in her throat, and she ran away with a guilty conscience.

Lin Nan: “…”
