The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 246 No news
Actually, this body will be eighteen years old in a few days.

Lin Nan had long passed that age in her previous life. Lin Nian took her eighteenth birthday coming-of-age ceremony very seriously and prepared an especially expensive gift for her.

However, in this world, Lin Nan's parents died, and after being admitted to the Guide Academy, she lost contact with her uncle and aunt's family. So, probably no one would remember this day for her.

Whether or not she goes through the coming-of-age ceremony is not particularly important to Lin Nan, but the request Caesar just made her a little flustered.

Humans in this world seem to have a very open view of sex. There is no legal restriction of monogamy, so many people can juggle multiple lovers at the same time, as long as they have the ability.

The most typical example is the Queen. Since ascending the throne, she has had many marriages, and in addition to her husbands, she has had countless lovers and slaves...

If the leaders of a country are like this, one can only imagine how the nobles and officials below them are treated.

Many of the guides in Lin Nan's class already have their own lovers. Even Ellie recently sent her a message saying that she had accepted the two mythical spirit beings named Revolver and Eve as sentinels.

"Slim waist, long legs, endless energy, it's absolutely killing me!"

This is Ellie's final summary.

Guides fresh out of the academy are usually quite clueless. Sometimes, they can't resist the persistent pestering of sentries and are tricked into marrying someone as soon as they come of age.

Lin Nan thought it looked rather yellowish at the time. The tribesmen from the Northern Border were relatively gentle and polite, but if it were her group...

Even though they were all obedient puppies, Lin Nan always felt that their eyes were not clean!

Thinking of this, she felt her legs go weak and quickly shook her head to shake off these obscure images.

She's been in Zone 9 for about a week now, and hasn't contacted the director in a long time. He should be done with his work by now.

So she sent him another message, wanting to ask about the Centipede Incident from back then.

However, there was once again no news of her.

Hossen's profile picture hadn't lit up in a long time; he hadn't appeared since she boarded the Granville train.

what's up?
What exactly is the director busy with that requires blocking the signal for so long?
Or did he go into the contaminated area?

There is no terminal signal in the contaminated area, so it's normal not to reply to messages, but it's been a week, which is really abnormal.

A vague, uneasy feeling crept over her from her sixth sense.

At that moment, Giss made a voice call.

"Guide Lin," the other person called out to her.

"Kichisuke, long time no see. Has the director finished his work yet?"

"Director Huo is facing a rather tricky problem this time, and may not be able to reply to your message yet."

Lin Nan frowned on the other end of the phone. "What problem have you encountered? Where is he now?"

"I'm sorry, it's a top secret and I can't tell you right now. But Guide Lin, please rest assured that everything is going smoothly in Granville."

After Gis finished speaking, the call ended.

The dial tone from the terminal was particularly jarring.

She stood by the window, looking at the gloomy rain outside, the pattering rain almost drowning out all other sounds in the city.

"Boss, Spider and his crew have started their operation."

In her mind, the vines reminded her.

"Did Arachne, Andrew, and Moss all go?"

They've all left.

"Then who is the person who remains in the tower now?"

Lin Nan expressed her doubts.

On the anniversary of Colonel Ariel's death, Laun led several important officers to pay their respects at the White Tower's Heroes' Monument. Caesar was there too, and as Colonel Ariel's three children, they had to be there as well. If all three of them had gone into the contaminated zone, then who would be left here now...?

Just then, a thunderbolt suddenly struck down from the sky!
A purple-blue bolt of lightning, like the claws of a dragon, brutally tore through the leaden-gray clouds, instantly illuminating the entire outline of the tower. Lin Nan, standing by the window, was startled and quickly ducked inside.

"Sister..." Just then, a whisper came to her ear, like countless needles pricking her head.

this--

Lin Nan's face turned pale instantly.

Is that alien species inside the tower now?!

How can it be!

[Sister...] This time, the little alien's voice was clearer, so close it seemed to be right behind him—

Lin Nan turned around with a "whoosh," and in just one second, all of her mental shielding abilities were activated.

But it was still too late.

In the corner of the evacuation room, a little boy was standing there.

He looked about seven or eight years old and was wearing an ill-fitting sentry jacket.

The face was still the same, but its eyes, like two blood-red lanterns, were staring at her without blinking.

"You..." Lin Nan gasped, a bead of sweat sliding down her forehead. The chilling experiences from before were still lingering in her mind, and now, with such a large, living alien standing in front of her, she felt like she was about to stop breathing—

"How did you get in?" she asked him.

"My sister doesn't like me like this? Then I'll change back." After saying that, the little boy disguised himself as an ordinary human on the train.

The alarming levels of pollution dissipated, and the entire space slowly returned to its original state.

Fortunately, there aren't many people around at this time; otherwise, seeing this scene would probably cause a huge panic.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to come and say hello to my sister." The little boy's tone of voice and his actions, along with his changed appearance, became just like those of an ordinary person.

He stretched lazily, and then—started taking off his clothes!

Lin Nan: ...

vine:?!!
"Sister, do you have any clothes here? I've been wearing this outfit for days, and it stinks!" the little boy said, wrinkling his nose in disgust.

He was completely bald, with pale skin, black hair, and black eyes, looking exactly like Lin Nan.

If there were outsiders present, they would definitely think they were a pair of siblings who looked very alike.

It seems—he meant her no harm?

Lin Nan suddenly realized.

"You're a different species, do you even need to wear clothes?"

"Otherwise, I'd be too embarrassed to run around naked. My naked body, my little XX, only my older sister can see them."

puff--

Lin Nan almost spat out the water she had just drunk that morning.

She directed the vines to pick out a spare T-shirt from the drawer and toss it to him. Her figure wasn't that different from the boy's, and the T-shirt made him look much more harmonious.

"It smells good."

The little boy suddenly buried his nose in his collar and took a deep breath.

His voice was filled with a satisfied sigh, and he rubbed his nose against the fabric, looking completely blissful—he was the spitting image of a little pervert.
