The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 26 Crows Outside the Window

Now that he knew her spiritual body was normal, Lin Nan felt relieved.

Before leaving, she looked at the small green sprout again and found that it had grown a little taller and turned into a small tree. The small tree only reached her ankles, but it had already taken a complete shape. The original two tender leaves had become more. Lin Nan moved it, and the small tree began to shake. Lin Nan's brain instantly felt as refreshed as a cool summer breeze.

I still don’t know what it is.

Number Five staggered over and stared at the small tree with Lin Nan.

But it sucks up everything we eat.

[A cunning fellow.]

[I was just saying I haven't been eating enough lately, so I figured I had this thing.]

Numerous vines, talking in unison, surrounded the small tree, and the vines were like snakes, accusing it ferociously and viciously.

Xiao Xiaoshu was trembling, but he couldn't speak, so he could only hold Lin Nan's legs to avoid the attack of the bandits.

Lin Nan felt curious because dodder is a parasitic plant. It has no roots or leaves and naturally cannot turn into a tree, so this small tree would not be a part of its body.

Moreover, in her understanding, it has always been the dodder that sucks the marrow from the bones and robs others of their nutrition. Now the situation is reversed, and the original perpetrator has become the victim whose energy has been sucked away.

so amazing.

At night, Ellie sneaked into Lin Nan's room again.

"The wind in the White Pagoda has been very loud recently. It's really scary. I'm going to sleep with you today." After saying that, she couldn't wait to lift the quilt and lie down.

Finding a comfortable position, Ellie sighed happily.

"Hey, Nan Nan, you smell so good."

fragrant?
Lin Nan raised her hand and smelled it. No, she hadn't taken a shower for a few days. It was good enough that her body didn't smell bad. How could it smell good?

"It's light, and it's a bit addictive once you get used to it," Ellie said, with a comfortable expression on her round face. A furry shadow emerged from her pajamas, and the baby sea otter crawled between the two of them and found a comfortable position to lie down.

"Does your spirit often sleep with you?" Lin Nan asked in confusion.

"No," Ellie poked the baby sea otter's chubby head and said, "It's usually in my mental picture. I don't know why it came out tonight."

Sea otters are aquatic creatures, and the mental landscape is a custom-built habitat for them. Staying inside the landscape is definitely more comfortable than being outside. Now, it's like a puppy, lying next to you and staring at you with curious eyes.

Lin Nan couldn't help but reach out and touch it. When she was about to touch it, the baby sea otter cried out, crawled back into the quilt and disappeared.

"..."

You are so stingy, will you let me touch you or not?

Lin Nan was depressed.

The two girls were lying on the bed chattering. After a while, Ellie fell asleep gradually, but Lin Nan couldn't sleep because she had slept too much during the day.

The 50th to 60th floors of the White Tower are the medical department, where most of the people living are seriously injured sentinels who need treatment. The two guides seem a bit out of place here.

The various spiritual beings downstairs were faintly restless, making her feel a little irritated.

Lin Nan quietly got out of bed, walked to the window, and looked out at the night sky that was as dark as a cloth.

The wind at night was indeed very strong, just as Ellie said. The sharp whistling sound was like a sharp blade, cutting through the silent night sky again and again. Even though her windows and doors were tightly sealed, it could not block out the sound that pierced her eardrums and made her shudder.

Suddenly, a flying owl caught her attention.

The sixtieth floor and above of the White Tower were high-altitude floors, housing the offices of the Air Combat Department sentinels. From time to time, bizarre birds and other avian spirits would fly past the windows. This owl, likely the spirit of a night patrol sentinel, had immediately spotted Lin Nan standing by the window and flew over curiously, gazing at her through the glass.

The strong wind blew its fluffy feathers slightly out of shape, and it stood there, gripping the iron bars with its claws, not moving at all. Lin Nan found it so adorable that she couldn't help but reach out to tease it. The owl's large, round, golden eyes followed her fingers, and its chubby face was filled with curiosity and inquiry.

It was so cute. She really wanted to let it in to play for a while, but the windows on the upper floors were sealed and couldn't be opened at all. She could only watch the owl stay for a while, then flap its wings and fly away as if it was called.

After the owl left, a black crow flew over soon. The crow was slightly larger. It stood where the owl was, stretching its neck and staring at Lin Nan with its black eyes.

Everything was so novel that Lin Nan couldn't help but tease the crow the same way he teased an owl. However, the cool black crow wasn't tempted at all and kept staring at Lin Nan. After a few minutes, it suddenly opened its mouth, pulled out a worm, and handed it to Lin Nan.

Lin Nan: ...

Thank you for your kindness, but that's not necessary.

After the crow flew away, Lin Nan hurriedly drew the curtains.

She didn't dare stand there any longer, for she was afraid that the window would soon be filled with the corpses of insects, snakes, centipedes and the like.

And somewhere unknown to Lin Nan, two young sentinels were gathering together excitedly.

Among them, the boy with a round face and golden eyes excitedly said to his companions: "See, see, I told you there is such a cute guide."

Another sentry, a tall and thin one wearing a pair of black feather earrings, was a little calmer. "Strange woman, you don't like my gift."

"Hei Yu, if you have time, tell me about your spirit body. Don't keep hiding bugs in your mouth. It's so unhygienic. Girls will be scared if they see it."

"If an ordinary bug can scare them, how can they go to the contaminated area? Those monsters are much more powerful than bugs."

"Stop being so picky. There's no guide willing to go down into a polluted area these days. You're always so sarcastic, and that's why no one likes you."

The round-faced sentry grumbled in dissatisfaction.

The sentry named Hei Yu did not refute, but silently turned the telescope in his hand.

They are now in the Air Combat Command Center on the 67th floor of the White Tower. Since the offices of the president and senior military officers are located above, a sentry post is set up on each floor of the Air Combat Command Center. Two sentries take turns on duty 24 hours a day.

Since high-altitude combat is the advantage of the Air Combat Department, the personnel on duty at these outposts are basically sentinels in the form of avian spirits.

Tonight, it was Willy's and his turn. Willy said that two female guides had been admitted to the White Tower's medical clinic these days, so as soon as he was on duty at night, he couldn't wait to drive his spirit body to fly over to investigate.

After a while, he said excitedly that he really saw a very lovely lady.

Hei Yu didn't believe that the guides would all be sleeping well at this time, and it was impossible for anyone to be awake, let alone a suspicious person, so he drove his spirit body to fly over.

Hei Yu had never had close contact with a guide before. Spiritual beings like them had little combat power and were destined to be scouts. Being able to enter the Central White Tower was already his best destination.

But even in the core White Tower, he still had no chance to get close to the guide.

Generally, guides prefer sentinels with strong spiritual bodies. They are good at fighting and close combat, and are the best candidates for bodyguards. However, the sentinels of the air combat department generally only have spiritual bodies such as eagles and golden eagles that have combat capabilities. Most of the other types are used for reconnaissance and are naturally not popular with guides.

Hei Yu never expected that he would be favored by a guide one day. Crows have excellent eyesight and color perception. He can feel that under the noble and gentle faces of those guides, there is a disdain and irritability hidden towards them, so he never takes the initiative to please these people.
