The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 167 Disintegration of the Contaminated Zone

"Thank you." Lin Nan took the medicine, somewhat incredulous.

She thought this person would seize the opportunity to humiliate her again, but unexpectedly, he came to deliver something to her!

Faced with the boy's sudden kindness, Lin Nan was a little confused.

Lin Nan blinked in confusion, looking at the thing in her hand and then at the boy in front of her.

Perhaps it was because the expression on her face was too obvious, El's carefully constructed mental defenses crumbled instantly. The proud young man, his cheeks flushed with anger, forcibly suppressed his temper and said indignantly, "Just throw away your doubts, or you'll just be working yourself to death in the examination room!"

Lin Nan: ...

That's so unfair! QAQ
This person is so vicious.

It's one thing to insult her, but how could he say such a thing!
What's the difference between this and cursing her to be a beast of burden for life, and having to make PowerPoint presentations when she's old?!

The vines in Lin Nan's mind seemed to sense her sadness and began to sprout. One or two of them clung to Lin Nan's body, staring at El in front of her.

The "likes and dislikes" of spiritual beings are not influenced by external factors such as language, appearance, and behavior like those of humans. They are very simple; they can decide whether to get close or stay away by sensing the emotions emanating from the other person.

The vines didn't actually dislike the little rabbit in front of them who always said such nasty things; in fact, they thought he smelled quite nice. If they could, they'd love to inhale his scent, but—rabbits love to eat the grass near their burrows, so they were a little hesitant…

The vines wiggled for a moment, then burrowed back into Lin Nan's mind to hide.

Just then, there was movement again at the distant manor!

First came a dizzying earthquake, catching Lin Nan completely off guard and nearly causing her to lose her footing. Luckily, El, who was beside her, steadied her.

The boy's palm transmitted a scorching heat through his shirt. The rabbit spirit appeared at Lin Nan's feet, gazing in the direction of the contaminated area and twitching its ears.

“The contaminated area has disappeared,” El said suddenly, staring in that direction.

Upon hearing this, Lin Nan also looked up at the mountaintop, and as he had said, the gray barrier that had originally enveloped the manor had disappeared.

On the hillside, a group of people appeared, rushing towards this place at their fastest speed ever.

"Attention all units! Attention all units!"

"A large fluctuation in pollution levels has been detected ahead. We need to activate the shielding system now. Everyone, take cover in the guide post!"

"Police officers on high alert! Anyone found acting suspiciously must be executed immediately!"

"..."

Giss was directing operations on-site. When the people heard that the contaminated zone had been breached and that pollution sources might spread, they were so frightened that they fled into the guide's office building.

Hospitals, schools, and other important central facilities have all installed the strongest shielding systems, which are as effective as the sound waves from the White Pagoda, and can isolate the intrusion of pollution sources!
Apart from the military personnel, other ordinary staff and the wounded have also begun to be transferred, and the square, which was originally crowded with people, was instantly empty.

Lin Nan was pulled by El and hid in the nearest safe space.

Those who escaped from the contaminated area quickly arrived at the entrance of the guide station. Police officers dispatched personnel to meet them, and soon, amidst a series of instrument detection sounds, they successfully entered the range of the shielding system.

When the last person entered, Gis ordered the doors of the guidehouse to be closed tightly. He quickly checked everyone present and discovered that his superior was not there. What happened?

The director isn't here, and neither is Uriel. Are they still in the contaminated area?
Giss's panicked thoughts didn't last long, but the chaos at the scene didn't keep him in a daze for long. He saw the nobles who had escaped from the contaminated zone already screaming in agony. They had spent the night in the contaminated zone in fear, watching the people around them being assimilated into monsters one by one. Their minds had long since collapsed. If they hadn't persevered with their willpower, they probably would have either become monsters or gone mad!
"I need a guide! I need a guide! Quickly, get a guide to help me get through this!"

"Why is the rescue so slow? Do you know what I've been through here?"

"Exactly! All those taxes I pay every year, is it just to support a bunch of useless trash like you?!"

"..."

Dissatisfaction, anger, fear...

Numerous negative emotions filled these people's minds, making the atmosphere at the scene extremely tense.

Many of them were nobles, and a few were leaders of parliament... Normally, these people would appear in public places in high spirits, dressed in suits, but at this moment, their custom-made suits were covered with grass clippings and pollutant dust, their ties were hanging crookedly around their necks, and their eyes were bloodshot, looking like a group of trapped beasts that had been tortured for a long time.

"Please be patient. Everyone, please go to the quarantine area to rest. After we confirm that you are not carrying any contaminants, we will arrange for a guide to assist you."

Gis suppressed his temper and spoke patiently.

"What a joke! We've already been tested, why are we being tested again!" one of the slightly overweight middle-aged men yelled. "Do you know who I am? If anything happens to me, none of you will be held responsible."

The contaminated area amplifies negative human emotions. At this moment, the man is in a state of extreme anxiety. He loosens his tie, revealing his neck, which is red from suffocation. His spiritual form—a proud flamingo—is huddled at its master's feet, its feathers disheveled and extremely pathetic.

It's easy to imagine that he had a very bad night.

"My mental disorder index has exceeded the standard. Do you want the country to lose a senior member of parliament?"

The senator hadn't experienced anything like this in a long time. He was usually surrounded by countless bodyguards, and his security detail would handle any danger for him immediately.

Therefore, although he was also a Sentinel, his mental energy was already severely depleted, and he used the only remaining energy for pleasure...

"I'm sorry, but we cannot agree to your request. We are responsible for every guide here."

"Fine, fine...you..." The senator was so angry he couldn't speak. He recognized Giss, and a look of disdain appeared on his round, plump face. "Giss, you heartless bastard, don't forget who lifted you up back then! Don't think you've forgotten your roots just because you're following that kid from the Trevor family. I was able to put you up there back then, and I can certainly pull you down now!"

"Thank you for the councilor's kindness back then, but the system is the system!"

"you……"

Just as the two sides were arguing fiercely, a seductive figure suddenly stepped out from the crowd.

"What's all the fuss about? If you have the energy to argue, you should hurry up and get in line for a checkup."

Tina rolled her eyes and walked between Geese and the senator. She reached out and gently pushed the two men apart.

Yesterday's updates were on pages 164 and 165; I added some erotic content. Page 165 originally had nearly 4000 words, but the reviewer deleted it. I'm trying to see if I can post it in the author's notes. ...You all probably understand what that content was. My entire post was... well, it was definitely deleted.

By the way, I've revised the old chapters, so everyone can read them again. It shouldn't be free, right?
