The dark apocalypse has ended, and the wasteland era has begun. Countless mutated creatures and strange polluted zones are devouring human settlements.
Yun Zhao, who recently awakened her abi...
Chapter 270 Guidance (Part 1)
"Oh... okay." Chen Xiang sat down somewhat nervously.
His mental instability made him appear somewhat listless.
In the eyes of many guides and ordinary people, sentinels with abnormally sensitive nerves are not normal people; most of them are mentally ill.
The guides are extremely careful when providing them with psychological support.
They were afraid that even the slightest unintentional action might cause them to lose control of their minds.
Ultimately.
Most people ultimately feel more fear than respect for sentries.
Chen Xiang consciously sat down in the chair, picked up the iron chain next to him, and put it on himself.
The chains rattled and clattered.
Yun Zhao did not stop him. She was also a little curious, so she quietly watched Chen Xiang skillfully put the chains on his limbs.
The movements were fluid and seamless, clearly indicating that this wasn't the first time he had done this.
The little bluebird slightly raised its proud head, revealing the same curious look in its eyes as its main body.
It noticed that the nervous sentry was secretly watching it.
The little bluebird immediately became unhappy, its eyes turning extremely disgusted.
[You idiot, don't peek!]
Chen Xiang seemed to understand, and awkwardly turned his head away.
Fire Phoenix suddenly became somewhat irritable.
It hurtles wildly through the air, spinning endlessly.
Its fiery red feathers were vibrant in color, and occasionally, tiny sparks of flame would burst forth from its body.
As the fire phoenix flew, it emitted low cries, expressing its displeasure.
It dislikes the Azure Phoenix guiding other female sentinels.
Yun Zhao noticed Huo Feng's unusual behavior and reassured her, "This is work, why don't you go out and have some fun?"
If her therapy room were burned down, she would be tempted to call the little bluebird to beat it up.
Why do we work?
You don't have to work; I'll take out his points card and hand it over to you tomorrow.
Unfortunately, Yun Zhao couldn't hear the Fire Phoenix's words, and the little bluebird never helped translate.
Chen Xiang on the other end was already prepared.
After being rejected by Qingluan, he dared not look at her anymore, but he didn't know where to look, so he kept his head down and stared at the carpet on the floor.
As for the spirit entities flying around overhead, they were clearly Xie's Fire Phoenix.
Captain Xie actually left Huo Feng in the evacuation room.
Are they afraid the sentries will harm the guide?
But he seemed to be looked down upon and disliked by the two S-class spiritual entities.
Forget it, I'll just pretend I didn't see it.
Is it possible for a spiritual entity to be this far away from its physical body?
Chen Xiang's mind was wandering when he suddenly felt a powerful mental pressure coming his way.
His body suddenly stiffened.
There were no prior warnings, no emotional reassurance, and no connection was established.
The Azure Phoenix's figure instantly became transparent.
Countless wisps of bluish-green fluorescence emerged, forcefully and domineeringly invading his mental realm.

It was still snowing lightly outside.
Minister Bai appeared outside the courtyard.
After returning home last night, Minister Bai asked his daughter about the process of guiding the two S-level officials.
According to Bai Yu's description, Yun Zhao appeared very relaxed and at ease while providing guidance. She completely ignored the sentries and even had time to chat.
Minister Bai first marveled at the S-class guide's powerful mental strength, but then felt something was amiss.
There are no guides to provide spiritual guidance; everything depends on the spirit's own actions.
The spirit has self-awareness and is inherently playful; it might start playing around during the guidance process.
Not only will it fail to soothe or calm emotions, it may even plunge the sentry's mental world into greater chaos.
Minister Bai was a little worried, so he came over to check on things.
It was too cold outside. Minister Bai stood there for a while, but couldn't stand it anymore. He was about to go back into the hall to wait when he heard a commotion in the courtyard.
Minister Bai turned his head to take a look.
A Level A sentry emerged from the evacuation station, his face pale.
Minister Bai glanced down at the time; it was 8:52. The sentry hadn't gone in until 8:20.
So fast?
Chen Xiang clearly saw Minister Bai standing outside the courtyard. His head was throbbing, and he greeted him in a hoarse voice.
"Minister Bai, what brings you here?"
He felt he might need to take a break.
"I've come over to take a look."
Minister Bai looked the sentry up and down; something was clearly wrong with him. He asked gently, "How effective is the diversion?"
Chen Xiang hesitated for a second, then forced a slightly strained smile. "Very good."
Consciousness has never been so clear, senses have become exceptionally sharp, and all the dark matter in the spiritual realm has been completely cleansed away.
This was a completely different experience from previous counseling sessions.
There was no emotional soothing, no gradual cleansing from the surface to the core; instead, it was extremely simple and brutal.
After much thought, Chen concluded that the reason Qingluan was so rude to him was probably because of the glance he had stolen at it before he began his therapy session.
It is a very unique spiritual entity.
It doesn't like being stared at.
Ultimately, it was my fault, it had nothing to do with Qingluan, and it had nothing to do with the cloud guide.
"Are you really alright?" The minister was skeptical. He didn't look like he was in good condition at all.
Chen shook his head vigorously, "Really, I'm really fine!"
"Um... Minister Bai, I'm leaving now." Despite this, Chen Xiang couldn't wait to go back and brag to his comrades.
At least he was a sentinel who had been guided by an S-rank guide.
The mental state was unusually stable, and all the volatile emotions subsided.
He's terrifyingly strong now!
Minister Bai nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Go ahead."
Seeing that he couldn't get any information from them, after everyone left, Minister Bai decided to go in and check on the situation.
But before he could even step into the courtyard...
The small screen at the entrance of the intervention room lit up again, changing from "In Treatment" to "Pending Intervention".
The break was skipped entirely.
With her powerful S-rank mental strength, guiding an A-rank sentinel was clearly a piece of cake for her.
Thinking back to Yun Zhao's first day of helping out.
Minister Bai consulted her yesterday and decided to open eight appointment slots per day.
At her pace, she can finish it by the afternoon.
The efficiency is exceptionally high.
Minister Bai couldn't disturb her work, so he had no choice but to give up and leave with a sigh.

Inside the evacuation area.
The air conditioner was set to 28 degrees Celsius, and white noise similar to a campfire was playing in the background.
Yun Zhao also learned that each evacuation room has an independent small speaker, which can select different and stable white noise according to the sentry's preferences.
Looking at the snowy scene outside, she felt that the sound of the campfire was very fitting for the occasion.
She preferred the sound of water to the sound of water.
Yun Zhao got up and went to the tea room.
The tea room is fully equipped with everything, including various types of tea and even wine.
She glanced at it casually and took out the instant milk tea she had brought from home from her small handbag.
She likes to drink this.
Fire Phoenix had become withdrawn, lying silently in front of the French windows.
The spirits are simple-minded and do not hide their feelings; they express their dissatisfaction in their own way.
Yun Zhao couldn't understand Huo Feng's words, so he ignored it, waited for the milk tea to be made, and then took the cup back to the evacuation room and sat down in the rocking chair by the window.
He also casually opened a bag of potato chips.
She praised the little bluebird, "You did a really good job just now. There will be more sentries coming in later, so you should treat them gently just like you did just now."
