The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 8 Mental Body Examination

Fortunately, they were not driving the Guide Academy's special car today, so they did not attract anyone's attention.

"I'm sorry, my two young lords, but the dean is busy with something important today, so I came down to pick you up."

The staff member was an ordinary man, probably in his forties, with dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't rested for several days.

Seeing his fearful look, Lin Nan refreshed her understanding again. In this world, the identity of a guide seemed to be more special than she had imagined.

"We are here unexpectedly as well. Sorry to trouble you. We will just do a genetic test and leave."

"Genetic testing?" the staff member was a little surprised. "Which gentleman needs it?"

"I."

Lin Nan stood out from behind Ellie, the sunlight enveloped her, casting a soft light that made the staff's hearts beat faster.

"This... please come this way." The staff member restrained his impoliteness and hurriedly welcomed them into the hospital.

Genetic testing is located on the top floor of the Guide Department building. It is a rest area specially built for guides, and there is also a testing room. Many newly differentiated guides will be sent here for detailed examination.

Because they have just been differentiated, the boundary between sentinels and guides is rather vague, and only those recognized by the inspection department of the Guide Institute can be considered guides in the true sense.

Lin Nan remembered being here before, more than two years ago.

She was led in by staff and laid in a silver-white scanning chamber. Her limbs were secured, and a gentle female staff member beside her said to her, "Sir, please don't move."

Then she felt a pain in her arm and someone drew a tube of bright red blood from her.

"The blood will be sent for genetic testing, which will take an hour. The whole-body enhanced scan is expected to take twenty minutes. During this time, you can close your eyes and rest for a while."

"Ok."

Lin Nan obediently closed her eyes, and then she felt herself being slowly pushed into the scanning chamber. The buzzing sound of the machines around her surrounded her whole body. The weak electric current was like countless ants crawling on her body, and finally merged into her brain, forming an unknown strange feeling.

The spirit that had been dormant in her brain seemed to have been summoned and became completely active. Countless tender green vines stretched out in all directions like an octopus, forming a dense net with countless suction ports on it, opening and closing, absorbing the thin energy from the surroundings.

For some reason, Lin Nan felt a hint of hunger...

This was a very strange feeling, not a physical hunger, but a spiritual one. She suddenly missed the feeling of her vines wrapping around other people's spirits and sucking them...

what--

She can't be a weird person too, right?

Lin Nan found it a little hard to accept. Thinking of this, the scan was soon over and she was helped out of the scanning room by the staff.

"Sir, the final scan data will be delivered along with the blood test report. You can wait in our lounge for a while. We have prepared delicious desserts."

"Thank you, thank you for your hard work." Lin Nan thanked the staff who served her again.

She returned to the lounge where Ellie was waiting for her.

"how is everything?"

"I don't feel anything. I'll just wait for the results." Lin Nan recalled what happened just now. "I just suddenly felt hungry."

"I'm hungry. Didn't you have breakfast?"

Having said that, she had been asked to meet the director early in the morning, but she was stood up. It seemed that she had indeed forgotten to eat. Thinking of this, Lin Nan sat down and picked up the small cake on the table.

In the lounge, there were relaxing incense and soft music. Flowers were blooming in the vases, each one was gorgeous and tempting. Lin Nan felt like she was back home on the ancient blue star.

At this moment, a scream came from somewhere, followed by a loud explosion of "boom", which shook the entire guide building.

"what happened?"

Outside the lounge, the panicked voices of staff were heard.

"It's on the second floor, the counseling department on the second floor."

"The situation is not good. A sentinel became alienated during the evacuation process!"

"Is that the man who was abducted by the military district this morning?"

"That's not it!"

"How come? Then...how's the guide? Is he injured?"

"I don't know yet. Hurry! Call the White Tower! Whoever sent this here, please come and solve this problem!"

"..."

The outside world suddenly became a mess. Ellie and Lin Nan sat in the lounge, feeling vaguely uneasy.

"Please stay here, both of you. Don't run around." Luo Xi hurriedly opened the door and locked the lounge door tightly. "I've called the college. They'll send someone to pick you up right away. Just stay here for a few minutes."

"Did a Sentinel become mutated? He was undergoing counseling, so how could he become mutated mid-transportation?"

"They're probably hiding the true infection level. The guides here only receive superficial mental counseling. If a sentinel is too deeply contaminated, and the guides can't keep up, they'll easily lose control if stimulated."

"What should I do?"

"There will be someone special to handle it."

Lin Nan didn't know what Luo Xi meant by "dealing with it". She only knew that a man's roar came from downstairs again. The voice sounded half human and half beast, very crazy.

This should be a high-level sentry. Even through the door of the lounge, Lin Nan could feel the pressure from that person. Ellie, who was in the same room, was already trembling with fear. The spirit body of the little sea otter had unconsciously run out, covering its head and curled up like its owner.

"Please don't be afraid, I will be here guarding you." Seeing that Ellie's face had begun to turn pale, Rosie worriedly held her in her arms and comforted her. Her spiritual body, the Malinois, also competently stood guard in front of the little sea otter, staying alert and ready to fight at any time.

Only Lin Nan sat quietly in the chair, listening carefully to the movements outside.

Beneath her feet, there were faintly surging vines, sounds of fighting, biting, screams...all kinds of sounds outside and everyone's emotions were received by the vines under her feet and then transmitted into her brain.

It turns out that the guide's spirit body can be used in this way.

That hungry feeling is back...

Lin Nan frowned.

Why did she feel a little excited, as if there were a lot of small cakes out there that could fill her stomach...

The vines were more honest than her reaction. After struggling for a while, they spread out from the ground.

Lin Nan got goosebumps because her vines had already spread to a department on the second floor. She saw a sentry who was half wolf and half human, brutally suppressing a weak woman.
