The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 116 Redemption
"Why on earth would you do that?"

Lin Nan returned to the mental image of Black Wolf Cultivator, standing on the cliff where the wind was howling, and questioned calmly.

Because of alienation, this scene has become completely unbearable to look at. The sewage on the cliff is like a hanging waterfall, gushing down without restraint, constantly filling up this huge, bottomless sinkhole.

As sewage continued to be injected, the water level in the tiankeng rose rapidly, flooding houses and caves.

The air was filled with a suffocating smell that made people want to vomit.

Lin Nan looked at everything in front of him and became more and more shocked. It was unexpected that someone could be so cruel to him and would rather turn himself into a monster than tell the truth to others.

Countless broken pieces of driftwood floated above the sewage. A puppy huddled on a piece of wood, drifting helplessly with the waves.

Many times, it almost couldn't hold on and was about to fall into the sewage.

But it struggled to get up.

It looked at Lin Nan pitifully in the lake, its eyes full of fear and confusion, and it whimpered faintly from time to time, as if sending her a signal for help.

Everything around was so dead and desolate. Apart from the sound of sewage flowing, no other sound could be heard...

If other guides entered this spiritual scene, they would definitely shake their heads and say that this person is completely beyond saving.

Because no one has the ability to deal with such a large and deep pollution pool.

Please leave me alone, Miss Guide.

The voice of the Black Wolf Cultivator echoed through the void. Lin Nan saw that the little wolf on the driftwood had somehow transformed into a sentry. The man's eyes were empty, and he no longer struggled. His body, like a bag of heavy stones, fell straight into the bottomless water...

The less you know, the better, otherwise...

The man's voice eventually disappeared in the undercurrent.

Xiu's consciousness continued to fall, and the dirty sewage washed over his body wantonly.

He could feel the filth seeping in through his pores, cold and sticky, like countless tiny insects gnawing at his skin.

He gradually lost feeling in his limbs.

Scenes from the past kept flashing through my mind, and those days of fighting side by side with my teammates began to emerge one by one like a kaleidoscope.

So this is what death feels like.

If that's the case, that's not bad.

Thinking of this, Xiu smiled with relief——

"Captain! It's time to get up!" Someone called him in his ear.

One sunny afternoon, they had just completed a mission and he felt a rare bit sleepy. He fell asleep on the car on the way back.

He didn't know how long it had been before someone called him softly in his ear.

"Captain! Why are you still sleeping? If you don't get off the bus, you'll have to go home with the driver."

The man was complaining and kept mumbling to himself.

Xiu remembered, it was Xiaojiu.

He is the one who talks the most in the whole team. Because he is the youngest, everyone gives in to him, so this kid has become a little lawless.

"Let the captain sleep a little longer. He's been working the hardest. Let's wait a little longer."

Then, another gentle voice sounded, and he seemed to pat Xiaojiu's shoulder and persuade him.

Xiu could tell that this was the third child.

"Yes, the captain hasn't slept for three days. Unlike some people, who rely on the protection of others and can sleep carefree in the contaminated area." This is Shrimp Tail.

"Hey, I heard it. Are you talking about me?" Xiaojiu seemed angry and rushed forward with his teeth bared. Soon the two of them got into a fight.

"Stop it, stop it." Big Bear hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "How about I carry the captain on my back? I'm strong enough."

"That's a good idea! Let's do it." "At the critical moment, we still have to rely on Big Bear."

"Humph, isn't it just to go back and see my wife earlier..."

"What, what's wrong? Don't you want to see your wife sooner? Oh, right, you don't have a wife yet."

"Big Bear, you want to die, don't you?"

"Ha ha ha ha--"

very nice--

Xiu listened to the noisy sounds around him, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

He wanted to say that he could hear their voices and that he was awake.

But my eyelids felt heavy, as if they were filled with lead, and I couldn't lift them. My body seemed to be imprisoned, unable to move an inch. I could only lie there quietly, listening to the sounds around me.

"Captain..." Someone grabbed his arm, supported him, and helped him stand up. "You've always protected us, but this time it's our turn to hold you up..."

"I have one last request..." A sorrowful voice seemed so close yet so far away, "You must return alive... alive... Please tell my wife to take good care of her and the child—"

"Under the bedside table in the bedroom, there's my last bit of private money. Remember to ask her to take it out. I was afraid she'd scold me, so I didn't tell her..."

"It's all right now. She can't scold me anymore."

"I've hurt everyone... I'm sorry..."

"Captain, goodbye..."

……

There were hot tears dripping from the corners of my eyes.

Xiu finally opened his eyes and saw that he was sinking into a bottomless abyss. There was sewage flowing in front of him, it was pitch black and gloomy, and he saw despair everywhere.

But above, there was a flash of green light.

Then, he seemed to see a slender figure vaguely.

She followed him, leaping into the filthy water, desperately chasing his sinking body.

Finally, he was caught by her.

A gentle hand held him back, preventing him from sinking any further.

There were thin vines that wrapped around his body, and then she pulled another vine and pulled them both up.

Xiu could no longer think of anything else and just followed that person subconsciously.

His body was floating upwards, and the darkness around him was slowly fading away. In the blur, he seemed to see the green light that was getting brighter and brighter.

Xiu's pupils slowly widened.

He stared upwards without blinking, almost suffocatingly.

He saw a wonderful sight—

The night is black and the sky is full of stars.

A towering giant tree, domineeringly spanning the entire continent.

The thick trunk is like a towering mountain, as if carrying the vicissitudes of time and the power of the earth.

The beautiful golden texture on it shines, and under the starry sky, it looks like a mysterious rune carefully outlined by nature with the most delicate brushstrokes.

The green branches and leaves stretch out in all directions, as lush as a green ocean, layer upon layer, impenetrable.

The breeze rustled the branches and leaves——
