The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 143 The Nature of Greed

"Thank you, Director Huo!"

The handsome man with silver hair bowed deeply to Huo Sen in a very cultured manner, his tone gentle and humble.

Huo Sen had known him for a long time, so he naturally knew what kind of person this fake smile was. He ignored him and turned to the back seat to pick up the unconscious girl, and in the meantime pulled down the little white snake that had been wrapped around her wrist and was in estrus.

Gis handed the box containing the royal jade to the chief of staff. The chief of staff did not immediately open the box to check the contents. Instead, he looked at Huo Sen and Lin Nan in his arms with a smile and said, "Is Guide Lin injured? The President has arranged the best medical team. The director can rest assured and take Guide Lin to see a doctor."

After saying that, he turned to the little white snake on the ground and continued, "Captain Evans seems to need it too."

Evans, who was casually thrown aside, curled up his body and turned back into human form.

But at this moment, he was lazy and lying naked on the ground for a long time, unwilling to move.

Seeing his expression, the Chief of Staff said cryptically, "It looks like the Captain is entering his breeding season. Has he found a female he likes? Whose family is she? If you need help, I can help you persuade her."

"Really?" Talking about this, the dazed snakeman sentry finally perked up a bit and said bluntly, "I want to mate with Guide Lin. Is that okay?"

"That..." The Chief of Staff laughed. "You'll have to consult your superiors about that."

After saying that, he looked at Huo Sen provocatively. His pair of narrow eyes were clearly smiling, but one could not detect a trace of kindness in them.

This old fox!
Huo Sen sneered, dodged the man and got directly into the special car waiting on the side.
-
Lin Nan felt herself sinking into the warm water, her exhausted limbs finally relaxed. The warmth enveloped her from all sides, caressing every inch of her skin and dispelling all fatigue and tension.

Her consciousness gradually became clear, as if she had woken up from a long nightmare.

"So comfortable..." Lin murmured softly, with a hint of satisfaction and relaxation in his tone.

Her body sank slightly, as if she was about to completely merge into the warm water, until a pair of hands firmly supported her body...

Lin Nan didn't know how long he had slept.

When she woke up, she found herself lying in a lounge in the medical room.

She must have just come out of the treatment device, and her whole body is still wet.

"Awake?" A low voice sounded beside him. Lin Nan turned around and saw Huo Sen's figure.

It's him again...

There were ripples in her heart.

"How do you feel now? Your body has just been repaired, and your clothes were changed by the medical staff." Huo Sen explained patiently.

"Thank you, Director. I'm much better now. My head still hurts a little though."

"It's normal to feel pain, because... you've constructed your own mental image, and your mental power has risen to Class B." Huo Sen stroked Lin Nan's wet hair, trying his best to control his emotions. "Congratulations, you're now an official guide."

"Image? You mean that tree is my mental image?"

"That's right. The spiritual image is the embodiment of everyone's inner wishes. It will protect the spiritual body's survival and safety to the greatest extent. As long as its level is high enough, fewer people will be able to invade you."

A dark light flashed in Huo Sen's eyes. Under his touch, Lin Nan's hair had dried out unconsciously. "It's just... it's just grown now and is still very fragile. You need more nutrients to water it."

"Nourishment...watering..." Lin muttered, then stiffened as if realizing something. "You should have known this long ago. Your spirits... they feed on emotions, but they also need physical nourishment, like the spiritual nourishment provided by the Sentinels, and like the black wolf you devoured..."

Lin Nan finally understood where the hunger that occasionally came from came from.

She touched the dim black wolf mark in her brain, and her stomach suddenly spasmed and a sense of unspeakable realization swept through her body.

It turned out that without her knowing it, this mental picture had completed its first act - hunting.

Plants are never satisfied with just sunshine and rain - they crave the more nourishing meat.

And her sentinel understood the nature of that greedy vine better than she did.

Xiu transformed his body into rich nutrients and condensed his mental power into energy stones.

As he once said, he gave her everything...

Lin Nan felt lost and felt both sad and ridiculous.

"Director, is Xiu really dead?"

"If you think death is when the heart stops beating and the body disappears, then he is indeed dead."

Huo Sen's voice was calm without a trace of emotion.

"A hundred years ago, the invasion of pollutants transformed many life forms into alien species. To cope with the demands of combat, humanity was forced to evolve, creating various forms of spiritual beings. It was this power that allowed humanity to break through the boundaries of biological matter and take on new forms."

"But many people forget that when they gain these powers, they also carry alien genes. When the frenzy of the spirit exceeds 95%, the Sentinel's mental image will collapse, and his human consciousness will be devoured by the frenzied spirit."

"At that moment, physiologically, the person is 'dead,'" Huo Sen's voice was a little hoarse. "But rather than the word 'death,' I prefer to call this a 'transformation of life form.' Whether they become a different species or another creature, they will continue to exist in this world in another form."

The man gently stroked the girl's head, his emerald eyes gazing at her, as if he saw someone in his memory.

Lin Nan's restless mood gradually calmed down.

"A long time ago, I was in a contaminated area and had the privilege of witnessing the 'heritage' of alien species. Some young children would devour their own parents, others would eat their deceased companions, and even pregnant females would devour the bodies of males... This behavior might be too cruel for humans, but for alien species, it's their heritage."

"That black wolf is willing to give you everything he has. This is his honor. He must be very happy when he leaves. So..." Huo Sen reached out and wiped Lin Nan's dry eyes, "So, don't cry..."

do not Cry.

There was clearly not a single tear in her eyes, but this person could tell that she was crying...

Lin Nan blinked for a long time and nodded.

Seeing that he had coaxed her, Huo Sen went ashore, picked up his clothes and put them on, and continued: "A maid will bring clothes over later. Just pack them up. The Queen - she wants to see you."

Lin Nan was stunned, not understanding why the queen suddenly wanted to see her.

"The jade that was originally intended for the Queen has fallen into your hands. Naturally, some people will mind. But..." The man curled his lips, "Don't worry, they dare not do anything to you."
