The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 2 Attempting to Enter
But even if it was superficial treatment, Lin Nan was not used to it. After all, she had been a single woman for the first half of her life until her death.

Huo Sen is a soldier who recently retired. Due to severe brain pollution, he was unable to continue to fight on the battlefield, so he was assigned to the Guide Academy as the Dean of Academic Affairs.

But even though he is not a soldier now, the aura around him still exists, and Lin Nan is a little nervous.

"Relax, choose a place you like and touch me." The man's voice sounded low in Lin Nan's ears. Unknowingly, he had held her in his arms. The sentinels had an innate liking for the guides. Even if their identities were very different, as long as they needed your spiritual guidance, they would show your gentle loyalty like a dog.

Lin Nan silently observed the man in front of her. He was mature and steady, with a life experience in his eyes that was different from hers. His three-dimensional facial features were cold and sharp, his outlines were firm, and his slightly upturned chin revealed a hint of ruthlessness. The boys she usually came into contact with were relatively gentle. Even the sentinels from the Sentinel Academy across the street were not as tough as him. She found it a little hard to accept this type of guy.

She felt a little uncomfortable and lowered her head slightly, her eyes inadvertently falling on the man's protruding Adam's apple. It was a slightly raised, hard line, and as he swallowed, the Adam's apple slid up and down, as if carrying a silent temptation.

Lin Nan seemed to be bewitched and gently placed his hand on it——

"..." The man seemed to have not expected that she would touch him here. His tall body trembled slightly when the girl's fingers touched it, and then he immediately held it back. However, his swallowing movement became faster. Lin Nan felt that the temperature around him suddenly rose by several degrees.

"Then I'm coming in, sir," Lin Nan whispered, and then dense spiritual threads emanated from her fingers and entered the body of the man before her. Each guide's spiritual threads were a different color, mostly determined by their spiritual body type. For a plant-type like Lin Nan, the spiritual threads were green.

Most of them are shallow purifications and will not enter the sentinel's mental picture. That is a person's most private and secret existence. Well-taught guides will not forcibly invade without the consent of others, so when Lin Nan's spiritual thread touched a vast and endless Gobi Desert, she stopped.

Her mind replaced her eyes, and she saw the man's heart. His mental barrier was a barren, endless Gobi Desert, where yellow sand filled the sky and howled in the wind, stirring up gusts of dust. Dry bushes were scattered here and there, and black mud was everywhere. Under the scorching sun, it was lifeless, with no sign of life.

The mental barrier is a strong wall that every sentinel uses to protect his or her own mental picture. When Lin Nan was studying, she also saw the mental pictures of many different sentinels, but most of them were crowded and narrow. She could see the end at a glance. The teacher also said that the more powerful the sentinel, the larger and wider their mental body and mental picture.

This is an S-class sentinel.

Lin Nan felt a sense of crisis.

Huo Sen easily noticed her nervousness, and he whispered to comfort her: "I won't do anything. Just follow what you learned and give me some mental guidance."

After hearing this, Lin Nan forced herself to calm down and tried to release her spiritual body.

Slender green shadows slid out from the hem of her skirt. They were tender yellow-green vines that could squeeze out juice. There were no leaves on the vines, but they were covered with tiny sucking mouths. When they came to the new place, they curled up excitedly, stood up, opened their small mouthparts, and impulsively wanted to explore everywhere.

Lin Nan tried hard to control them, not letting them run around. The so-called purification was actually just to clean up the pollutants that had accumulated illogically in the sentinel's mental picture. She directed the vines to clean up the black mud, but the vines seemed to have found something more interesting. They excitedly flew around, passing through the mud, and went straight to a towering dead tree. They surrounded the dead tree tightly, circling it like a snake, and then countless suction mouths "snapped" and stuck tightly to it.

"Hmm..." At this time, Huo Sen let out an uncontrollable moan. His Adam's apple moved faster, his body began to tremble slightly, and his heavy breathing almost touched Lin Nan's neck.

Again.

Lin Nan was a little scared by this reaction. She wanted to retract the vines, but the little creatures seemed addicted to playing. Not only did they wrap around every branch of the dead tree, they also kept rubbing and sucking. She could feel a desiccant-like smell constantly coming in through the vines.

One of the vines touched something furry at the top of the dead tree. The unusually soft touch made the vine very excited. With a "whoosh", it immediately rolled up the furry thing...

"Stop." The man stopped her and forcibly closed the mental channel. The mental pressure came over her. Lin Nan was still in her childhood and was no match for this man. After being forced to disconnect the connection, she seemed to lose her strength and went limp.

The man caught her and carried her to the sofa to rest.

Huo Sen's breath was still a little unstable, and deep in his eyes was a thick, unknown emotion that was hard to tell.

"I roughly understand, Lin."

After a while, the man finally spoke. He squatted beside the sofa with his tall body, his hands still around her waist.

He was so close to her that it exceeded the safe distance for normal social interaction, but he didn't notice.

"Until you've mastered the purification process correctly, no more mental counseling for the Sentinel, even superficial ones. I'll inform your responsible teacher."

"Then I..." Lin Nan really wanted to ask what she should do next, but when she saw the look in the man in front of her, she fell silent.

For some reason, every time after she counseled the sentinels, they would show some confusion. Her spirit body's current ability was only parasitism, which meant it could absorb the other party's abilities and transform them into its own.

This was a very rogue and scoundrel ability, so her fellow guides were very reluctant to interact with her. However, after participating in the practical training with the Sentinels, she discovered some subtle differences...

Huo Sen calmed himself down and finally returned to his usual calm self.

He stood up and walked to his desk, took out a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and put them on. The lenses blocked the faint light in his eyes. He looked at her and said, "I'm going to discuss this with the principal. You can rest here first and then go back to the classroom."

After saying that, he left, politely leaving the space to Lin Nan alone.

Lin Nan really couldn't understand these sentinels. It seemed that each of them had a slightly different reaction after the mental counseling.

For example, that madman, and the officer in front of him who has inexplicably become a little stealthy.
