The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 222 The Covered Beacon
He heard that a guide had cured a mutated black wolf that had escaped death in Sector Five.

The black wolf stole the jade and, in order to evade the research institute's investigation, deliberately mutated itself and entered the prison of the rehabilitation center.

The Rehabilitation Center is a magical place because it belongs to no organization and is not under the control of the Queen. It is the last sanctuary that the Trevor family earned for all the living warriors through generations of military merit and glory.

Death is not frightening to those who walk on the edge of danger year after year; what is frightening is whether they can leave with dignity in their final moments.

This is the last line of defense that humanity can uphold in this falling apart world.

If even this bottom line disappears, then—humanity will truly perish…

His father also clashed with the conservatives led by the Queen over this very issue, and was even forced to step down as president.

“Vic…” After stepping down from his post, the father often sighed alone late at night, “There is a mountain of prejudice in people’s hearts. When their eyes are blinded by self-interest, they will no longer be able to see the road ahead. The lighthouse that should have guided the wanderer home will never shine again…”

The reason that mutated black wolf was targeted by the research institute must be because it discovered something in the contaminated area.

Lin Nan had guided him, and Arachne, who was also skilled in using mental abilities, knew very well how to dig out those unknown secrets from a person's memories.

【Time is running out, we must stop this crisis as soon as possible. 】

My condition has been getting worse recently, probably due to the influence of the spiritual union.

[Edward, do you think we can survive? ]

If even the Queen becomes a different species... Is there still hope for humanity...?

He saw fragments of Black Wolf's memories about the researcher, and piecing them together, he vaguely sensed a terrifying truth—

The Queen may not be exhausted, but rather infected...

She desperately needed a new "container" to escape the alienation brought about by her original body. Before Lin Nan appeared, Ireland was the new "container" she had prepared, but now she has found a better target.

The evidence is the insect pattern that Lin Nan secretly planted on the back of her neck at some unknown time.

Arachne's spider abdomen writhed, producing more silk threads. These threads densely wrapped around Lin Nan's body, completely enveloping her.

Some even climbed up to the entrance of her butterfly bone's spiritual passage. The tough spider silk covered the passage, preventing her from revealing even a trace of spiritual power, forcing the insect patterns on the back of her neck to emerge impatiently after losing their target.

"Lin, do you know why you came to Zone Nine?"

A flash of silver light streaked across the sky, and the insect pattern fell to the ground, transforming into a black spider, which Andrew stomped on and smashed to pieces!

"The first time she saw you, she placed a monitoring mark on you so she could constantly check your mental state." Arachne retracted one of her spider claws and continued, "Lin, you've been targeted..."

"The Queen's spiritual power is different from others. Even if her physical body is damaged, as long as her physical form is not destroyed, her consciousness can still be passed down."

"She needs to lure you into her lair and then slowly possess you..."

"Where is the Queen's lair?"

"I don't know. The Queen never easily reveals her weaknesses to others, but if I'm not mistaken, it's very likely that she..."

Arachne's voice was suddenly interrupted by a surge of heat, the brilliant colors that had been swirling in the eyes of the moth sentinels gradually faded, and the barrier that had formed around them disappeared.

The entire space was restored to its original state.

"Tsk, that stray cat is really persistent!"

The moth sentinel scoffed impatiently and withdrew its mental energy.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a lion engulfed in flames burst through the glass window and leaped in. The intense heat instantly charred the Arachne spiderwebs in the room. "You filthy insects! You deliberately lured me away, didn't you! You—"

Caesar stormed in, but upon seeing the scene in the room, he froze, as if completely stunned.

On the enormous bed in the room, Lin Nan's wrists were entangled in spider silk, half-buried in Andrew's bulging pectoral muscles, while Arachne, half-human, half-spider, lay on top of her, several of his malevolent spider claws softening their sharpness and resting intimately on her skin—

Beside them, a moth sentinel with its two bright eyes was recording the whole thing... The skin of the group was exposed to varying degrees, as if they were engaged in some kind of group activity that was to be censored.

……

Caesar's flames almost distorted the air, his burning beastly eyes fixed on the figures entangled on the bed—

If he had come back even a minute later, they would have—

The baby belongs to him alone, so only he can do this kind of thing!
Thinking of this, Caesar's eyes flashed with true killing intent. A lion's roar resounded throughout the entire manor, and the glass in countless rooms shattered at the same time. The high-temperature airflow rolled up the wall plaster with spiral-shaped scorch marks.

"Hey, it's not what you think, we didn't... Calm down..." Lin Nan realized that Caesar might have misunderstood, and hurriedly tried to get up to stop this guy from going crazy, but Arachne grabbed her and held her down.

“What a rude fellow.” Arachne first reassured Lin Nan, but when he faced Caesar, his expression changed completely.

He brandished his weapon and charged at the enraged lion—

After half an hour.

Inside the White Tower interrogation room, Colonel Lawn's even more powerful roar echoed!

"You bunch of bastards! What kind of time is this to start a fight!"

"We've been fighting since we were kids! We've been fighting every day! We're still not tired of it! If you have so much energy, why don't you go to the contaminated zone and kill a few more mutants!"

"Day after day, not one of them gives me a moment's peace!!"

Colonel Lawn's face turned green with anger. He pounded his fist on his desk, and his assistant quickly helped him calm down, while secretly moving the poor desk aside.

The budget for the tower is already limited, and so many tables have already broken this month; it can't afford to break any more.

The pressure emanating from high-ranking sentinels when they are enraged is not something ordinary people can withstand; their auras have clearly affected the sentinels in the White Tower.

The police officers outside the door covered their ears, seemingly unfazed by such incidents, and retreated to the furthest point from the interrogation room to take up their posts.

Lin Nan stood alone at the door, feeling rather awkward.

But it doesn't seem right for her to leave now; she can only wait for those people to finish their lecture and come out.

Unlike her feeling of sitting on pins and needles, the tendrils in her mind were quite excited, lingering at the door of the courtroom, enjoying the gossip.

Inside, the colonel's furious voice kept ringing out, from his initial angry curses to his earnest and persuasive teachings. He even brought up the childhood stories of several of them in an attempt to influence them, but these were precisely the most unruly troublemakers.

Caesar and Arachne, along with the others, were all injured to varying degrees. Their clothes were burned and torn to shreds. The four idiots sat on a bench, facing Colonel Lauen's rage, familiarly emptying their minds, hoping this reprimand would pass as soon as possible.

what--

Old Man Lauen is getting old and more and more talkative.

Caesar scratched his ear, thinking nonchalantly.
