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

"Unable to resist pollutants," Xian Yue'an remarked, noticing the flicker in his eyes.

"Chairman Mingye, you know that I have a good relationship with Director Shuzao, but haven't you noticed that she never invites me when she takes on missions of four or five difficulty?"

She needs to practice cooking more; she's still catching up.

As for the specific function of her ability, she wouldn't say. If she revealed it, she might be captured by Mingye and taken to the front line to appease the SSS-level sentinels.

The reason given to the people after the war was not hard to guess: everything was for the central city and the White Tower, and we must remember the sacrifice of Director An Xiang.

The pollutants were blocked; who cared what her post-war life would be like?

Mingye understood that this person was also "difficult to communicate with," so he quickly ended the conversation with a few words.

Once she confirmed that the other party had left the White Tower, Xian Yue An sent a message to Shu Zao.

【Yue An】: Mingye has left.

[Shuzao]: Okay, I'm almost at the central city. Don't stay by yourself these next few days. Do everything with your personal sentry.

[Yue An]: Don't worry, all five of them are right next to me.

Mingye sat in the cabin deep in thought. After some time, he sent a notification to the place where Lingxi was being held.

【Mingye】: Lead the Spirit Guide and her Sentinels to the area invaded by the latest contaminants.

They captured the Spirit Rhinoceros because they discovered the Spirit Rhinoceros's stored abilities on Lugmu; even after it was used up, the Spirit Rhinoceros's aura remained on it.

Later, they read Lingxi's memories and proved her innocence, but she still had to be kept locked up, as a form of protection.

She was also explicitly forbidden from storing her abilities privately; any unused abilities were to be distributed among them.

From Lingxi's memories, he learned about her abilities, which, if used well, could be a highly lethal weapon.

When Mingye found out where Shuzao had gone, everything went black.

I never imagined she would go to the city center; it would be at least two or three in the morning if I rushed back.

She won't see him at that time.

Will she answer the phone?

Mingye dialed her number, just in case she answered. If she did, he wouldn't be able to refuse her.

"Hey, Speaker Meino, I'm going to see the Prophet tomorrow."

"Will the prophet come to our aid?" Why did it all happen at the same time?

They should have asked about the specific time in the first place.

"We'll see."

Mingye removed the light screen to calm himself down before taking it closer. "Director Shuzao, I have no more trump cards left."

"Then let's wait and see." They had no trump cards, but what about the other guides and sentries?

No, not either.

The opportunity to test the waters has arrived.

Mingye controlled his tone: "Guide Shuzao, they ignored the pollutants in other circles and instead launched a frenzied attack on the central city."

Their intentions are the same as hers!!!

I want to know the secrets of the central city and the White Tower, and I also want to explore those special guides who may exist but do not act and are hiding in the shadows.

"Chairman Mingye, calm down. Our guides and sentinels are no pushovers. It's good that they don't go and disrupt other zones. I'm hanging up now, I'm sleepy."

If they can really get to the center, that would be a good thing for her.

"Shuzao, why are you putting the screen on your stomach?" Etheris was confused by Shuzao's actions.

"For prenatal education, I played 'The Thousand-Year History of the White Pagoda.' I felt sleepy listening to it, so I put it on my belly. It's enough that the baby can hear it."

[Note]: The light screen has no radiation.

"Oh, I see," Etheris placed her own screen on Shuzao's belly as well, "I'll play a tutorial on Sentinel combat skills for the baby."

It got off to a commanding lead.

Zhou Miao joined the discussion: "Will you join a chat channel?"

If you mix up the two, won't you have wasted your time listening to them?

Etheris thought Zhou Miao's words made sense, so he took back his light screen and patted Shu Zao's belly.

Life is conceived within it.

Magic.

Miracle.

He is witnessing the process of life being born.

Etheris turned back, knelt down, and kissed Shuzao's belly through her clothes.

Shu Zao: "..."

trouble making.

After exiting the cabin, they were met by Vinya.

"When you wake up tomorrow, I'll take you to see him."

"Okay, thank you."

News of her arrival in the central city spread quickly, but the reason for her arrival remained a mystery.

"Shu has come to the central city." Qian Deng was pruning the flowers, and the vase of flowers on the table was oddly ugly.

"Is she here to seek refuge? I overestimated her." Pepean had no interest in admiring the new jewelry that arrived yesterday, and lay on the sofa idly waving her hands.

"Their target is central cities."

Pepean lifted her drooping eyelids, tilted her head, and asked, "Should we seek 'refuge,' or should we take action?"

"Let me think about it some more."

They could have stayed put as planned if they had attacked other circles and the White Tower first, but they chose to come to the central city.

This is difficult.

Shu Zao met the prophet, who was bald with faint white-gold runes appearing on his head... (thousands of words of description omitted here)

Well, stripping away the fancy embellishments, to put it simply: an egg with carved decorations.

"Heh, is my head that attractive?" The prophet stroked the top of his head.

"Comes with special effects, how rare."

The prophet lowered his hand, and the next moment his hair appeared out of thin air, white hair 'spread' on the ground like the finest silk.

"Your brain circuits are quite peculiar. You can call me Hua Zhongmian, but I never expected to only have you as my mentor."

Upon hearing this, a name flashed through Shu Zao's mind. Without pondering it herself, she asked directly, "You also 'invited' Wan Tong?"

Hua Zhongmian's surprise was genuine: "You've seen her? I thought she'd live to see me again. You're very clever, how did you figure that out?"

"It doesn't matter, who 'she' is?"

"Don't you already have the answer?" Hua Zhongmian raised his hand, and a butterfly flew to his fingertip. He smiled and said, "You are 'she'."

Shu Zao took out three plates of snacks to eat. She was hungry. She was inexplicably hungry after becoming pregnant and had to eat something immediately, otherwise she would feel anxious.

"I am not the complete 'her'."

In response to Shuzao's answer, Huazhongmian decided to face her directly instead of playing with butterflies and admiring the scenery earlier.

"You remind me of an old friend of mine, too clever for your own good." It's such a shame we won't have the chance to meet again.

"It has nothing to do with intelligence. You said, 'I didn't expect to only get one mentor like you.' I just listened to what you had to say."

Hua Zhongmian: "..."

Did your old friend bring me into this world? Or did they send me to another world and then bring me back?

"Shu Zao, you've exceeded my expectations. You truly are the promising talent I chose. The answer is the latter."
