The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 269 Healing Caesar
How badly is he injured?

Lin Nan stood in front of a medical pod and asked the medical staff about Kaisa's condition.

Among the sentries, excluding those who died, he was the most seriously injured.

His body had been torn apart by various ferocious beasts, and his flesh was torn into pieces. Even if he were thrown into a treatment chamber, it would not be able to be repaired in a short time.

However, the most serious wound was the one that pierced through his chest, running from his left ribs to his right chest, causing devastating damage to the internal organs.

The green nutrient solution was stained blackish-red with blood, and the man's tall body was submerged in it, making it impossible to tell whether he was alive or dead.

"Lord Caesar's physical body is severely damaged, and he may need to stay in the treatment pod for a long time," the medical staff patiently explained.

"That's good. How long will it take for him to regain consciousness?"

"It's unclear at the moment. We'll need to wait until after tonight to see how the repair is progressing." The medical staff stood beside the pod and pulled up a series of brain data on the control panel. "Although Lord Caesar is not in mortal danger right now, he was too close to that double-S monster during the battle, which has caused his mental pollution level to be extremely high. He needs to undergo a deep cleansing procedure as soon as possible, otherwise he is at risk of mutation at any time."

Can physical repair and psychological counseling be carried out simultaneously?

“Yes, it’s possible, as long as your mental filament is connected to the treatment chamber. However…” The medical staff hesitated, “When a Sentinel receives mental guidance while unconscious, in the mental landscape world, he might offend the Guide, or even… Usually, in such cases, unless they are in a partnership, the Central Government does not allow the Sentinel to link with the Guide…”

After the medical staff finished speaking, they couldn't help but glance at her guiltily.

Lin Nan understood what he meant, but strangely, she didn't have a particularly strong sense of rejection.

She dragged a stool over and sat down next to the treatment pod, then found the connection point and extended a vine. Just as she was about to input her mental energy, she remembered something and turned to the medical staff, saying, "Could you please create a quiet space for me? I might need about two hours, and please don't let anyone near me during that time."

"This...of course, no problem!"

The medical staff were moved to tears and immediately did as Lin Nan asked.

The curtains around the treatment chamber were drawn, and the light dimmed, making Lin Nan feel much quieter.

She adjusted her breathing, gazed at the figure submerged in the nutrient solution, and then slowly closed her eyes.

The green spiritual threads, like smoke, entered the treatment chamber and quickly found the entrance to the person's spiritual channel inside.

Caesar had indeed suffered a lot of trauma, and even his normally sensitive mental channels had become weak and listless. Lin Nan forcibly pried them open and entered directly.

In an instant, a vision of towering volcanic lava filled the sky, and it came from the depths of my consciousness.

Lin Nan felt a little uncomfortable, hot and irritating. She tried to adjust her breathing, let her mental energy envelop her, and then slowly adapt to the temperature.

It's so hot!

This kid has a fever.

[Waaaaah, I hate fire the most! It scalds the vines!]

"Ugh, if I hadn't stabbed him like this, I would have left long ago!"

Why didn't you go easier on me?

QAQ I can't control myself.

[...] Several vines muttered to themselves, the heat affecting their activity; once they entered Caesar's mental landscape, they all became listless.

As Lin Nan listened to them talking, he looked around for the golden Kruger lion.

This wasn't her first time entering this place. In the past, when she first stepped into this pictorial world, the volcanoes in sight were all asleep, their gray-black mountains lying quietly between heaven and earth, with only a few wisps of pale white steam occasionally escaping from the crater, gentle and posing no threat whatsoever.

Now, probably because the owner is in a state of agitation, the volcano in the entire scene has come to life. The air is filled with a strong smell of sulfuric acid, and thick black smoke keeps rising from the mountain, turning half the sky into a dark color.

Even more astonishingly, every few moments, scorching lava overflows from the crater, and orange-red lava flows slowly down the mountain like burning rivers. The rocks are melted into charred fragments, and from a distance, the entire area is shrouded in a blazing halo.

Lin Nan had visited Director Huo Sen's desert landscape and Lan Yin's ocean landscape... This was the first time she had seen something so aggressive.

Well--

How can she purify it?

Are you suggesting she swallow lava?

Isn't this a bit unrealistic?

Lin Nan wandered around, her head throbbing with worry.

Just then, a strong sense of oppression suddenly appeared behind me!
The aura came without warning, like a red-hot boulder suddenly falling from the sky, carrying a devastating weight, and instantly enveloping her entire body.

Lin Nan's body tensed instantly, and almost instinctively she dodged to the side, while simultaneously swinging the vines backward.

"Sizzle—" The vine collided with the thing attacking from behind, making a piercing sound. She could even feel a scorching wave of air rushing back, burning the back of her hand slightly.

【Ahhhh, it's so hot!!】

[Fire! Fire!]

[Waaaaah!!! I'm crying because I'm so upset!!!]

Upon contact with that thing, the twelve vines were almost instantly burned to charcoal. They danced wildly for a while, and then cowardly hid inside Lin Nan's body.

Lin Nan: ...

The fact that the spiritual entity did not issue a danger warning indicated that the other party was not an enemy. After the scorching flames subsided, Lin Nan finally saw what the other party looked like.

Well, at least she didn't have to look for me; she actually came to me on her own initiative.

The one who attacked her just now was none other than Caesar's spiritual entity.

Whenever he had the chance, the golden lion would rub his furry head against her, and sometimes he would shrink to the size of a cat and curl up on her lap to take a nap.

But now, it has completely changed. Flames are burning on its mane, and its once dazzling golden eyes have turned dark red. Its pupils have shrunk to narrow slits, and there is no trace of its former gentleness and affection in them, only surging, endless rage.

"Roar……"

The lion bared its teeth and growled, warning her, the intruder, with primal wariness and hostility.
