Chapter 7 You Deserve to Die

Three days later.

As soon as Gu Xun, who was seconded to the college, returned to the clinic, he heard gossip from his colleagues.

"Doctor Gu, you don't know yet?"

"The guide who acted lawlessly in the White Tower has finally been apprehended."

Gu Xun didn't even have time to change out of his casual clothes and went straight to the investigation team on the tenth floor.

Faced with the guards' harassment, he took out his work ID.

"I am Ji Zi's attending physician, and I request to see her."

"I'm sorry, this guide committed a crime a few days ago and has a bad attitude. He is still reflecting on his behavior in a small dark room." The sentry answered in a nonchalant tone, obviously not taking the matter to heart.

I don't think it's a big deal.

until--

The seemingly elegant doctor standing in front of them took off his silver-framed glasses, and his whole body exuded the pressure that only a high-ranking sentinel could have.

The sentries brought him in with great fear and trepidation.

After passing through a winding and narrow passage, we finally stopped outside a rusty red iron door.

Hanging on the door was a crooked iron rod, deliberately twisted into the letter A.

"This is it."

The leading sentry had just finished speaking when Gu Xun grabbed his neck and threw him up with his feet off the ground.

"It only caused the sentinel to be unconscious, yet you kept her in Class A?"

Perhaps it was because Gu Xun was wearing a khaki windbreaker today and looked quite elegant, so none of the sentries thought that he was a tough guy.

And he knows the rules of the interrogation room so well.

"Yes, because..."

"Get out!" Gu Xun threw the man out rudely. The sentry's body bumped back and forth in the narrow passage, and was finally helped up by his companions.

He didn't even ask the investigation team for the key.

The exquisite and expensive crocodile leather boots kicked the iron door hard.

Two "clang, clang" sounds.

The iron gate was broken open with a loud noise.

Gu Xun spotted the person tied to the iron chair at a glance.

"Miss Ji."

Ji Zi felt dizzy and everything in front of her began to double.

"Doctor Gu..."

"You're finally here..."

Gu Xun felt a strange sharp pain in his heart. After cutting the rope on her body, his long and powerful arms opened slightly and held her in his arms.

Outside the door, guards rushed over after hearing the noise and blocked the exit.

Gu Xun looked down at Ji Zi who was in a daze.

He took out a bright yellow nutrient solution from his windbreaker pocket with his right hand, tore open the seal with his mouth, and carefully squeezed it into her dry lips.

Then, he gently closed her eyes and said, "Go to sleep. Everything will be fine when you wake up."

This sentence was like a brainwashing spell, temporarily soothing Ji Zi's pain and fatigue.

When he woke up again, he was lying on a snow-white bed in the medical room.

Gu Xun sat aside with his face supported on the side, his eyes showing a faint purple tint from days of running around.

"Are you awake?" He quickly sensed her waking up.

Because he took the most advanced nutritional supplements, the wounds on his body and hands were also treated with medicine.

It’s just that the guide’s body functions are not as strong as the sentinel’s, so he can’t heal as quickly.

Even though Gu Xun gave her the best medicine, it was still difficult to remove the purple bruise on her wrist.

Hopefully no scars will be left.

The guides all love beauty.

"Thank you, Dr. Gu." Ji Zi said from the bottom of her heart.

"I'm sorry, it was my negligence that made you..."

"It happened suddenly." Looking around, he found that this was actually a closed bedroom. Gu Xun explained, "This is my home, not a medical room."

Ji Zi nodded, "Doctor Gu, is the sentry awake?"

"Not yet." Gu Xun asked his colleague after treating her injuries, "Don't worry, I've checked the basic information of that sentry. His body has long been overloaded due to frequent and long-term entry into the contaminated area, but..."

"Um?"

"Did you really comfort him?"

Ji Zi pulled out the small booklet in her brain. Although there were only a few lines of words, it was enough to show that she had taken it to heart this time.

Name: Ding Ning

Grade: A-

Spirit Body: Doberman Pinscher

"Last time you told me to record it, but I didn't know what to record. Besides, I only comforted him superficially."

Ji Zi hesitated after she finished speaking. If Gu Xun had not saved her this time, she might still not be able to trust him wholeheartedly.

Now, let her try to believe it.

"Doctor Gu, why don't I have a spiritual body?"

Gu Xun really knew about this matter, and there was not a trace of surprise on his calm face.

He pushed the silver-framed glasses on his nose, as if he was just narrating a very trivial incident.

"I speculate that this may be related to the trauma you suffered in your childhood, but I still haven't found the answer."

"Did you feel anything unusual while you were soothing?"

Ji Zi thought about it seriously, "It seems not."

"Well, if you're worried, I can go back and take care of the sentry later."

"Thank you, Dr. Gu! But, I still have a question."

Gu Xun raised his hand to tidy up her messy hair. "Ask whatever you want."

This, this, this...

What's with this sudden doting tone?

"If I, if I don't have a spiritual body, will comforting me still have any practical effect?"

"Of course." Gu Xun dispelled her doubts. "You have a spiritual body, but it is temporarily suppressed in the spiritual sea. As to whether it is caused by external forces or internal factors, we need further analysis."

"Uh, okay, I understand."

Gu Xun stood up and said, "So next time you comfort me, you can record it in more detail. I have something else to do. You can rest here until tomorrow morning before leaving."

That night, Ji Zi slept exceptionally soundly.

She had another strange dream.

In the dream, there was a low, cold voice talking to her all the time.

"Give me a little more time."

"I'll be right there."

"I will never let go of those bastards who hurt you."

Ji Zi asked him dazedly, "Who are you? Why did you appear in my dream?"

A beautiful face with a bite stopper appeared.

"You don't remember me?"

White pupils.

They say that in the entire galaxy, there is only one man with such pure yet evil white pupils.

…

The next day, Ji Zi went to the comfort room as usual.

The first thing to do after opening the door is to modify the biometric information entered on the door lock.

Permanently deleted the line about Ali.

It can be seen how much the original owner trusted this best friend, and she even allowed her free entry into the most private comfort room.

Yesterday, her sudden entry had clearly interrupted her deep connection with the Sentinel.

If the link is not broken, will it be?

Forget it, she has already contacted Dr. Gu and applied to visit the sentry after work today. Only by waiting for him to wake up can she truly clear her name.

As she was thinking, she bent down and tried to smooth out the messy wrinkles on the sofa.

"Splash" a bucket of cold water was poured over my head from behind.

Ji Zi took a deep breath, wiped the water stains on her face, and turned around.

"Guides like you deserve to die!"
