Sentry: The guide who's getting extra help is very busy today.

"Go." Shu Zao didn't waste any words. They trained together regularly and had excellent teamwork when it mattered.

Mingye crushed the sentinel's head, but he didn't attack again. Xiwu's sentinel was in a 'dreamlike' state.

After their personal guide died, the Sentinels instantly suffered a mental breakdown. Before they went berserk, Mi Zhen and Ling Xi's Sentinels saw them off.

"She survived." Lingxi closed her eyes and fell into a coma.

This place is her place!

After much effort, Mingye managed to reconnect the White Tower to the outside world, and transportation returned to normal.

"Immediately send sentries to Manhitmi Soren White Tower to guard the area. Be careful and don't let them get noticed."

He hadn't forgotten that Shu Zao was still relentlessly "fishing".

"receive."

Mi Zhen and Ling Xi did not go to the front line; they turned back midway to recuperate.

"Shuzao, thanks." Mi Zhen grinned, her face covered in dust, and Shuzao tried hard to suppress her laughter.

"You're welcome. Didn't you say you just got back from a mission a couple of days ago?"

What are you doing here?

"Too many sentries and guides have died. I was planning to go and see if I could help, but I ran into trouble before I even got there."

It almost broke.

Lingxi handed her stored spiritual energy to Shuzao: "You should be able to use it. I won't go to the rift."

"Yes, it's very useful, thank you." It's just about to run out, so I'm refilling it.

Mi Zhen took out her weapon: "I'm lending you my spear, but you have to return it."

"No, I'm more comfortable with a knife. Be careful on the road." After saying that, Shu Zao helped Fu Yuan close the cabin.

Turning around, Mingye was waiting.

"Come on, Director Shuzao, please."

"Don't invite me, I'm afraid you'll trick me again." The last time he had this expression was when he tricked himself.

"No, Director Shu is a great hero in dealing with pollutants. I wouldn't dare to cheat you, let alone anyone else."

Yuanli entered the cabin behind Mingye; Yuanli was stronger than Mingye.

Mingye naturally understood the intricacies of her actions: "Shuzao, is it necessary to be so wary of me? I'm the Speaker."

She's too wary; how can he possibly get information out of her?

"I am a special guide, one of the spines against pollutants, so I have to be extra careful. I know Chairman Meino understands."

When she's in a good mood, she calls herself "Chairman Mingye." If she's arguing, calling her "Mingye" is considered polite and shows restraint.

Mingyou and Mumai have arrived.

"I was still hoping that Shu would come early."

His eyes had no pupils, and his body was covered with dense scars of varying depths, all clearly the work of the same guide/sentinel. His face, however, was completely unharmed.

It's not hard to guess the price he paid for using his ability—self-harm.

"Mu Mai, you don't have to come."

"There's nothing I can do, I can't figure it out either. It's just that you're too bad at it, Mingyou."

He's always been there to help repair this crack.

"You're the one who's bad at this," Mingyou said, pulling Mumai's hand onto her wrist. "There are many corpses on the road ahead. Hold on tight to me."

I wonder what awaits them after they finish making up for it.

scold?

Disappointed?

Her brother must be disappointed.

Then she and Mu Mai will have to go to the matching room to match sentries.

From now on, I'll be living with my family.

Mu Mai seemed to have something in mind and said, "Ming You, remember to tell me which of the sentries I'm matched with is pretty. Even though my body is broken, I like pretty people."

"Okay, I'll find you a strong guy, someone who can break your back with one sit on him."

Mu Mai: "..."

Whose childhood sweetheart looks like her?

Special guides don't need to be matched; he likes his childhood sweetheart who's both sarcastic and cunning.

What excuse will we need to make for "seeing" each other again in the future?

Is it still okay to be alone?

His childhood sweetheart's wrists are so delicate and soft.

Mu Mai's feelings were hidden too subtly, and Ming You never noticed them, though perhaps she did notice them at some point.

So what? How did two special guides end up together?

A combination of two large families?

Sooner or later, resentment will inevitably arise, so it's better not to expose it.

"Guide Mingyou, Guide Mumai, you two must leave quickly! The rift has widened again; it's dangerous here."

The sentry who recognized them blocked their way and kindly reminded them to leave, as the guides at the front had already withdrawn.

"We'll handle it."

sentinel:!!!

"Tell them to step back a bit, or they might get hurt." A white halo appeared out of thin air in Mingyou's hand.

As she infused her spiritual energy, the halo gradually grew larger.

"Are you a special guide?" the sentry asked uncertainly.

Mu Mai looked in the direction of the sentry: "We all are, hurry up, I can't quite control my abilities."

We can only guarantee that Mingyou won't be harmed.

"I...I, give me thirty seconds, I'll notify all the sentries to evacuate."

"Hmm." Mingyou was focused on the ring in her hand, ignoring everything else, while Mumai replied to the sentry.

The sentries quickly withdrew, and after thirty seconds, he withdrew his hand from Mingyou's wrist. He could sense the pollutants in the surroundings.

Lightning crackled around Mu Mai, and the lightning continued to expand. He took out a knife and began slashing his body repeatedly.

The results were remarkable; he, as a single guide, outnumbered the withdrawing sentries.

"There's no need to make such a big fuss right from the start." She had seen it many times, and each time she couldn't bear to do it.

This price is too outrageous. Mu Mai can't use his abilities because he can't bear the pain, and he has to have his flesh cut with a dull knife.

"Focus on this, finish quickly and get out of here. If I'm not mistaken, your brother probably already knows you're a special agent."

Idiot, dodge your brother's fire.

Mingye: I don't know, no sentry told me.

The current crack is three times larger than the crack they originally patched.

"That's strange."

Mu Mai, his face expressionless, cut his own flesh and asked, "What's strange about it?"

There was a pool of blood on the ground, and his blood flow was very slow.

"The repair progress has stalled at one-quarter."

"How long has it been stopped?"

"Twenty minutes."

Mu Mai made a quick decision: "Call your brother and tell Shu Zao to come over and see where the problem is."

He's blind; he went in but can't get out.

They went in together; if they separated, both would be in danger.

"Shuzao might not come." If she could come, her brother would have already persuaded her.

"Tell your brother that if the crack gets any bigger, the ring will break."

"Ring ring ring." Mingye got up and answered the phone as he walked.

"Brother, get Shu Zao here, this wound can't be mended."

"Xiaoyou, where did you go? Why did you say the circle couldn't be repaired?"

Shuzao, leaning against Fuyuan, said, "How could she not know that the treatment she was given wouldn't work?"

You're still asking? The guy called Xiaoyou is practically revealing his hand!

Oh dear, I've blown myself out of this.

"Brother, I'm a special guide; I've been the one repairing the tear before."

Etheris's lips brushed against Shuzao's ear: "It's his sister on the other end of the phone."

He knew his mentor was very curious.

"Wow, this is amazing!" Her excitement faded quickly. "Etheris, you can talk, but could you please stop licking my earlobe?"

If she knew that satisfying her curiosity came at the cost of her earlobe, she wouldn't really want to know.

"Hmm, I'll be more careful next time." Etheris's lips touched Shuzao's lips, then parted just as quickly.

Shu Zao: "..."
