Chapter 483 Confession

There was no one living near the contaminated area.

The controlled sentries will not remember what happened before.

If they hadn't met Minister Han, the Dark Guide's secret wouldn't have been exposed.

"They're just unlucky."

Jiang Mu said, "Minister Han noticed that the sentries were acting strangely and ordered them to be captured alive."

“When your base’s leaders go on business trips, they are accompanied by a hundred senior sentries, each of whom is highly skilled.”

“Those middlemen are no match for the well-trained sentries.”

As he spoke, Jiang Mu turned to look at Yun Zhao, and said with a half-smile, "Mental traction is related to the mental strength of the individual and the willpower of the sentinel. That dark guide obviously cannot break through everyone's mental barrier."

Yun Zhao was puzzled: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing." Jiang Mu paused, then looked away.

What can he do when faced with such a straightforward girl?

Xie Tu made no attempt to hide anything and asked directly, "What did the confession say?"

Upon discovering that the sentries could be controlled by the guides, Minister Han and the Dawn Base will definitely investigate to the end.

At that time, there were probably not only people from the four major bases outside the No. 105 contaminated zone, but also other search teams.

With so many people around, the news spread like wildfire.

The key question is: who leaked the information about the Dark Guide?

This has caused such a huge panic.

Jiang Mu was too lazy to repeat himself. He reached for the laptop on the table, logged into the internal system's top-secret files, unlocked it, and turned the screen towards him.

See for yourself.

The encrypted file originated from within the Dawn Base.

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhao came closer.

The confession revealed that the guide in the dark was named Lin Yue, and he was the second-in-command of that middleman gang.

Her grandmother was a hidden dark guide who could peer into the minds of others and exert influence.

This is especially true for sentinels whose mental defenses are weak.

Lin Yue inherited her grandmother's abilities.

Yun Zhao was slightly taken aback when he saw this.

So, is the Dark Guide inherited through genetics?

She was like that, and so was the guide named Lin Yue.

What about the base manager?

As a descendant of Shen Ying, could Chief Shen also be a Dark Guide?

Xie Tu had quickly finished browsing the documents.

The dark guide had never encountered anyone like himself and even believed that his abilities were unique, so he used them indiscriminately and disregarded others.

Xie Tu was relieved to see this.

Lin Yue seemed unaware that this ability was called 'mental traction'.

The base has obtained limited clues. As long as they deny everything when they return, no one will suspect Yun Zhao.

There's only one S-class guide, and the base can't afford to abandon Yun Zhao.

Regarding how the news spread.

The confession also mentioned that this middleman gang had dozens of members.

Only a few were caught.

When others learned that their companion had been captured, they approached Dawn Base to negotiate his release.

The request was rejected.

The base suspects that it was that group of people who spread the message.

The aim is to create panic and elevate the special status of the Dark Guide in order to gain benefits.

After all, guides are scarce, and such a dark guide, even if dangerous, is of great value, facilitating a deeper understanding of the guide community.

The large base couldn't have killed her.

"After this incident, in order to dispel the sentries' suspicions, the base may introduce a more comprehensive guide ability detection system."

"Identify and guide those with special abilities in a timely manner to prevent them from going astray."

Jiang Mu had already given up on testing them, and this was meant to be a reminder to Yun Zhao: "We are already working on a plan, and all the guides will probably have to be retested."

Yun Zhao nodded.

Should we get tested?

An S-rank guide is naturally considered a guide with special abilities, and she may have already been listed as a key target of attention by the base.

But the matter of the Light Guide cannot be made public.

Otherwise, it will be detected by 'His' consciousness, bringing even greater disaster.

Xie Tu hummed in agreement and handed the computer back to Jiang Mu with a calm expression. "The situation isn't too bad so far. That dark guide has limited abilities, and the panic will be brought under control soon."

It's getting late.

Xie Tu and Jiang Mu exchanged a knowing glance, then Xie Tu stood up to say goodbye. "Let's go and rest first, we can talk about other things tomorrow."

Jiang Mu made a gesture of 'please go ahead'.

The two came out of Jiang Mu's room.

There are only six rooms on the third floor, which is just enough to house the six members of Jiangmu's team.

Xie Tu then booked a room on the second floor.

The room layout is the same, with all the necessary furniture and a separate shower room.

Yun Zhao hasn't been to bed for a long time.

I couldn't sleep well in the contaminated area, and after coming out, I could only sleep in the car because I was in a hurry to get back to work. I was also frequently woken up by the noise of the mutants.

She hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days in a row.

Right now, all I want to do when I see a bed is lie down.

"The bed isn't made yet, go take a shower first." Xie Tu rummaged through his bag for her change of clothes and pushed her into the bathroom.

He went downstairs to his car to get his own clean four-piece bedding set.

When Yun Zhao finished showering and came out, the bed was already made.

She ate a lot of meat that night and was worried about getting thirsty in the middle of the night, so Xie Tu poured a glass of water and placed it on the bedside table before going into the bathroom to take a shower.

Yun Zhao lay on the comfortable bed, feeling sleepy, and fell asleep before Xie Tu even came out.

...

The sentry post was shrouded in silence late at night.

The entire floor was so quiet that you could hear the slight hum of the ventilation system.

The door to the second-floor room opened quietly.

Xie Tu did not disturb her while she was fast asleep, and went up to the third floor again.

The door was ajar, letting in a sliver of light.

"Come in," came Jiang Mu's lazy voice from inside the house.

Xie Tu pushed open the door and entered, seeing Jiang Mu sitting at his desk with his computer on and a familiar metal box next to him.

Inside that box was a tattered diary.

Although Xie Tu had never read it, he had already guessed the identity of the diary's owner.

"Why are you carrying this with you?" Xie Tu asked.

Jiang Mu raised an eyebrow. "I thought you came up here in the middle of the night to talk to me about Yun Zhao. She's a Dark Guide. How long can you keep this a secret for her?"

The Dark Guide's abilities are too obvious.

Once a detection method is found, it will be impossible to hide.

Jiang Mu noticed something was wrong as soon as she started paying attention to the contaminated zone No. 111.

Afterwards, he specifically asked Zhou Tianqi how he had reconnected with Black Panther.

According to Zhou Tianqi, he felt a guiding force helping him to establish a closer connection with his spiritual entity.

Although Jiang Mu knew the truth, he pretended that nothing had happened.

Since receiving guidance, the white-haired beast has become noticeably more lively than before.

Who says there's only one S-class guide in the world?

Without her, where will the child find someone to counsel him?

But who would have thought that an S-class sentinel who always kept public and private matters separate and obeyed discipline would also show favoritism?

Xie Tu took the diary: "Things are not as you think. Abilities themselves are neither good nor bad; it's all about how you use them."

The matter of the Light Guide cannot be explained.

It's not suitable right now, at least not.

Humanity is not ready.

Jiang Mu remained noncommittal. "Then what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
