The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 284 If you want to be comfortable, then obey.
When Lin Nan met Huo Sen's eyes, her heart skipped a beat, and she felt a mix of emotions.

She didn't know how to describe the feeling, as if the person who was once closest to you had suddenly become a stranger.

Those eyes used to look at her with gentleness and understanding, but now they only hold a wary coldness, a ferocity like a wild beast, and an uncontrolled rage devoured by instinct.

He looked at her as if she were a complete stranger—

Lin Nan bit her lower lip, raised her hand, palm up, and made a harmless gesture.

She tried to soften her voice as much as possible and asked again, "Do you still recognize me?"

"..."

The only response she received was his increasingly tense body and a low, warning growl coming from his throat.

The air in the sealed room seemed to have solidified, with only the occasional soft clatter of chains breaking, which sounded exceptionally clear in the darkness.

Lin Nan then understood why Huo Sen had locked himself in this room. This secret room was inaccessible by mental power, and only this method could suppress him to the greatest extent possible, preventing his energy from going berserk in a short period of time after he lost consciousness, causing immeasurable damage to the surroundings.

But—this also means that others who enter here will also lose their spiritual power.

Unable to release his spiritual threads, Lin Nan had no idea how to connect with his mental landscape and guide him!

Lin Nan sighed deeply and said helplessly, "Didn't you consider me when you made this decision?"

"Or did you originally plan to get through this phase on your own?"

"After I leave, secretly hide yourself here. These things were brought to you by yourself, weren't they?"

Apart from the iron chains on his wrists, every joint on the man's body was locked in cold shackles.

The shackles around the ankles were the thickest, fastened firmly to the joints, their metal edges worn smooth and shiny, creating a stark contrast with the surrounding bloody, mangled skin.

Thinner chains were also wrapped around his knees, waist, abdomen, and even neck, restricting his movements to a very small range, making even bending over slightly extremely difficult.

Even with his body so confined, the man's frenzied state still far exceeded Lin Nan's expectations.

Hosen was completely immobilized by the shackles binding his entire body. The violent aura in his scarlet eyes not only did not diminish, but intensified over time.

He stared intently at Lin Nan, the intruder, his low growl transforming from intermittent warnings into a continuous, tearing roar.

The moment Lin Nan reached out to him, his previously quiet body suddenly lunged upwards! All his muscles bulged, and the chains rattled loudly, sounding particularly jarring in the deathly silent chamber.

The man's wounds were tearing wider and wider, fresh blood dripping wildly down the chains, but he seemed to feel no pain anymore.

Black panthers are creatures with extremely explosive power. When hunting, they are adept at luring their prey into their traps and then waiting for the perfect moment to strike and kill them.

From the moment Lin Nan entered the room, his attention never left her.

He probably didn't even know who the person in front of him was. His consciousness was completely shattered by the chaos of his heat, and he couldn't even remember who he was.

A sweet aroma tempted him from time to time, like a hook that made his stomach, which had not eaten for a long time, grow ravenous.

I'm so hungry... I really want to eat...

His prey...

The man's vision blurred, his focus narrowed, and gradually, his world consisted only of the slender figure before him—

Once the terrifying thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed. His parched throat began to produce saliva, which gurgled and dripped over his already beast-like canine teeth, flowing down the cracks at the corners of his lips—he wanted to be close to her, to completely envelop that sweet taste in his arms, to gnaw on her skin, to savor the delicate sensation that exploded in his mouth—

Like consuming food, "eat" her, letting the hunger in your stomach completely dissipate—

The man stared at the other man until the other man's hand reached out to him again, and then he did the same.

"Snapped!"

But just as his teeth were about to bite the man's hand, he suddenly received a heavy slap on his right cheek.

The slap froze the man's movements, his outstretched neck stopped in mid-air, and his cheek shifted slightly to the left.

The canine tooth was only a few centimeters away from Lin Nan's fingertip, but it could not go any further.

Hossen stared at her from below with his blood-red eyes in disbelief.

Lin Nan straightened up and stopped trying to please him.

After her features matured, her eyes always held a cool and aloof expression, standing in the darkness like the bright moon in the sky.

"Having never been beaten, you've become increasingly arrogant?" she said calmly, scrutinizing him with the eyes one would give a dog.

The distraught man trembled almost imperceptibly under such a contemptuous gaze—

This attack, which was barely enough to tickle him, somehow managed to penetrate his nerves and reach his heart, causing his muscles to weaken and even the fierce ruthlessness he had displayed earlier to dissipate in an instant.

Ah——so cool.

I wanted her to hit me a few more times...

The man's mouth watered even more; he had discovered something even more fun than eating her.

This unusual desire transformed the restlessness within him.

He stopped trying to bite her and instead gently shook his shackled wrists, deliberately making the chains rattle to attract Lin Nan's attention.

The low growl in his throat turned into a sticky murmur, like a coquettish plea or a provocation. His scarlet eyes were fixed on Lin Nan, clearly saying "I want more."

Sentinels who begin to transform into beasts become very direct in their emotions. At this point, dealing with them in the same subtle and roundabout way you would with humans will not work.

Lin Nan was a fanatic about the animal world, and she knew that very well.

Seeing that the man had finally calmed down, she slowly bent down and squatted in front of him, at eye level.

She reached out and grabbed his chin with her fingertips. The force was very light, and this time the man did not resist. He even raised his head slightly and cooperated with her force.

His chin was stained with blood and sweat, his skin was as rough as sandpaper, and he made a very soft, whimpering sound from his throat, with a hint of obedience.

Lin Nan could clearly feel that his body was still trembling slightly because of this feeling of being "controlled".

Wild animals instinctively submit to a "clear leader," just as a wolf pack follows the alpha wolf. Her straightforward actions at this moment perfectly aligned with the "rules" in his chaotic consciousness.

"If you want to feel comfortable, just listen to me." She patted his face, then gently—kissed him...
