Chapter 033 Chapter 33

However, the feast was a later matter; they had to return to the Black Tower first.

Zhou Qi hasn't gone back yet as his work on site is not finished yet.

His criminal investigation department is also responsible for security and post-event handling, so he will be needed on the scene to handle the aftermath of this incident.

For example, cleaning up the hospital scene to prevent any residual spiritual power, and dealing with photos taken by onlookers at the scene.

Photos of the Black Tower Special Forces cannot be leaked at will.

In order to avoid unnecessary accidents.

A similar problem occurred many years ago, when a special agent was photographed while out and about and the incident was exposed.

Not long after, he was retaliated by some people and ended up in a terrible situation.

Therefore, in order to protect all the special agents of the Black Tower, the Black Tower does not allow any sentinel humans to actively mention their sentinel identities to the outside world, especially the special agents. All mainstream and entertainment media are also not allowed to mention them.

The daily work of Heita’s network security department mainly focuses on this aspect.

The four of them followed Director Bai and the others back to the Black Tower first.

All the ordinary people involved in the incident were also taken there. The Black Tower needed to conduct further tests on them to prevent any sequelae.

…

Xia Meng and Ou Xu first followed Director Bai back to the guide center.

She was only halfway through the onboarding process today, and many things came one after another before Ou Xu had time to finish explaining them.

Fortunately, it's all resolved.

Director Bai took over the subsequent on-the-job guidance work.

He took her to a psychiatric department.

Today, the psychiatric department is empty, with only a few young nurses on duty to take care of the dozen or so hospitalized patients.

Director Bai sighed and said to Xia Meng, "All work in the psychiatric department has been forced to halt. After you join us, you'll likely be required to do most of the work yourself."

Xia Meng: “…” I never expected that the situation would be like this.

She was an intern who had just graduated from graduate school, and she was suddenly asked to take charge of the situation on her own. She was really - a little impatient.

There is no tiger in the mountain, and finally it is her turn as the monkey to be king! Wonderful!

"Also..." Director Bai hesitated, finally stating his main purpose. "Is it possible for you to get your teacher to come here and take charge? It won't take long. Once the strange illness is resolved, he can leave anytime."

Xia Meng blinked.

Director Bai quickly tried to make amends, saying, "Of course, we didn't invite you to work at the Black Tower because we wanted to use you to win over your teacher. Your work ability is obvious to all, and there's no doubt about it."

Xia Meng smiled at him cheerfully.

She knows everything about this matter (note: Beijing dialect, meaning familiar and clear).

At least half of the reason why Heita chose to invite her without hesitation was because she was Wang Xiangyi's favorite student.

Of course, Wang Xiangyi's golden signboard is not omnipotent. If she had not awakened, there would not have been the subsequent series of adventures.

Xia Meng: "I'll try, but it may not work."

Director Bai: "Okay, okay, as long as we can discuss it."

Afterwards, Director Bai explained to Xia Meng all the details of working at the guide center.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work.

Speaking of this, Xia Meng had to praise the Black Tower as a very personalized place, even better than any government department.

I go to work at 8:30 in the morning, have a lunch break from 11:00 to 2:00 in the afternoon, and can get off work at 4:30 in the afternoon.

Before leaving get off work, Xia Meng went to the Criminal Investigation Center upstairs.

I knocked on Zhou Qi's office door, and soon Zhou Qi's voice came from inside the door: "Come in."

Xia Meng pushed the door open and went in.

When Zhou Qi saw her, he put down his work with a surprised look on his face and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Xia Meng pointed at the person still lying on the sofa in Zhou Qi's office: "I'm looking for him."

On the sofa, Li Zhou had already opened his eyes.

He sat up and blinked in confusion: "Looking for me? What's going on?"

Xia Meng walked over and glanced at the coffee table in front of the sofa. On the coffee table, there were two tubes of light blue injections.

A line of words was printed on the transparent tube of the syringe: Li Zhou's special effect S106 guide element.

Xia Meng's gaze moved from Guide Su to Li Zhou's intact arm, paused, and finally fell on his face.

She: "When I was in the mental image earlier, I seemed to see that you had some injuries on your hands, so... I'm a little worried."

Ou Xu had said before that it was very dangerous for a Sentinel to enter the mental images of other Sentinels, not to mention using their own abilities at will.

If you get hurt inside, the damage may be multiplied back to your real body.

Li Zhou raised his eyes, looked at her with a gentle gaze, chuckled and shook his head: "I'm fine."

As he spoke, he stretched out his arms and turned them upside down, allowing her to see that there was not even a scratch on his arms.

Xia Meng still felt something was wrong.

Li Zhou seemed to be hiding something from her.

She remembered that Li Zhou had used the ability to stop time many times in the math exam.

Based on her understanding of the barrenness of the sentry, she knew that stopping time was a terrifying skill that not everyone could use.

She didn't know how powerful the S-class Sentinels were, but she knew that all things in existence must follow some similar rules.

Even an S-rank sentinel cannot break free from the shackles of such rules.

How much damage would such a powerful force cause to him if it backfired on him?

So Xia Meng was worried.

This is the doctor's sense of responsibility to the patient, and also the comradeship they have experienced through so many life and death situations together.

Li Zhou was slightly startled: "I..."

"Wait! This won't work!" Zhou Qi suddenly stood up from the table and interrupted them with a little anxiety.

Xia Meng turned her head and asked in confusion: "Why not?"

Zhou Qi hesitated for a moment.

For a moment, he didn't know whether he should tell Li Zhou that he already had an engraved guide.

The fact that he had an engraved guide had always been a secret known only to the top brass at the Black Tower headquarters.

It was because Zhou Qi accidentally got involved in a case that year that he learned that Li Zhou had been searching the world for his engraving guide.

Although... the Black Tower Headquarters has always believed that Li Zhou has never had any guide.

Data and information from all aspects also prove that such a person does not exist.

But Li Zhou always believed that the person must be somewhere in this world, waiting for him to find her.

Zhou Qi admired his persistence very much.

Zhou Qi guessed that Li Zhou came back this time just to look for someone.

Faced with Xia Meng's puzzled look, Zhou Qi was speechless for a moment.

Li Zhou should be the one to say that he has an engraved guide, right?

So he turned his gaze to Li Zhou.

However, Li Zhou did not say it out loud.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Okay."

Zhou Qi was stunned.

Xia Meng didn't understand what was going on, so she smiled and said, "I'll be in the counseling department tomorrow afternoon and will be there all afternoon. I'm just here to tell you. If you need my counseling or help, you can just make an appointment with me. There are only three appointments this afternoon, so remember to register on time!"

It's time to get off work now.

Although today is Xia Meng's first day at work, she is well aware of the survival strategies of office workers.

It is impossible to work overtime, especially for new employees.

Otherwise, she will soon be dragged into the bottomless pit of overtime work, and countless tasks will be piled on her head and she will not be able to get rid of them.

Xia Meng came here just to talk about this.

Having finished speaking, she waved and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Xia Meng thought of something: "Oh, by the way, Lao Wang, that's my master. He will set up a full banquet the day after tomorrow. Let's go together after get off work tomorrow!"

Li Zhou nodded: "Okay."

"I'm leaving. Goodbye, Director Zhou." Xia Meng waved to Zhou Qi and closed the door gracefully.

The office fell into silence again.

Zhou Qi looked at Li Zhou hesitantly, wanting to say something.

He couldn't help but ask, "Do you really want her to help you with your counseling? Aren't you afraid of something going wrong?"

Li Zhou was silent for a while, then smiled nonchalantly, "That's right."

What if something goes wrong?

In the early years, he would never think about this problem.

He was thinking, what if other guides came to help him and nothing went wrong?

Doesn't that prove from the side that his engraved guide is really just a fantasy of his?

Fortunately, over the years, no guide has matched him more than 50%.

There was nothing Black Tower could do; he couldn't force him to match up with someone.

The special effects guide element has been used until now, once every three months, without interruption.

Li Zhou's eyes fell on the guide Su on the coffee table.

It has been more than an hour since he got the injection, and he has not used it.

Is it true that he is also looking forward to... having a try with Xia Meng?

Li Zhou was silent for a while and found a reason for his strange idea.

He looked up at Zhou Qi and asked, "With an 80% match rate, shouldn't I give it a try?"

Zhou Qi: “…”

That's what I said.

Being able to reach 80% at least shows that they are suitable.

But is this possible?

The Black Tower has countless experimental data and cases that prove that once the combined sentinels accept the guidance of other guides, they will either go astray or die suddenly, and almost none of them will have a good ending.

Li Zhou is an extremely rare S-level, and no one can let him take this risk.

No one can afford the responsibility in case of failure.

If anything happens to him, it will be a loss to the Black Towers of the world and even to the entire human society.

Zhou Qi only felt a throbbing pain in his forehead.

He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. After much thought, he decided to take a step back and said, "Let me ask someone higher up. We might have to wait until after the meeting to discuss this matter."

Li Zhou shrugged noncommittally.

"casual."

…

Xia Meng walked out of the office and was stopped before she reached the elevator.

"Xia Xia!"

A loud voice and clear tone.

Xia Meng recognized it as Su Fangxiao's voice.

She turned around following the sound and saw a group of people following her, walking towards her with smiles.

Su Fangxiao strode over: "I was just about to look for you! I didn't expect you to be here!"

Xia Meng: "Looking for me? What do you want to see me for?"

Su Fangxiao chuckled, a hint of shyness and pride on his face. "I wanted to talk to you about this! Have you forgotten? We have an 80% match rate!"

Xia Meng blinked, "Oh, yes. Now?"

She checked her phone: "It's time to get off work."

The implication is very clear: it is unethical to ask a new employee to work overtime on the same day!

Su Fangxiao quickly said, "How about tomorrow morning? I happen to be free tomorrow!"

Xia Meng apologized. "I'm sorry, I need to familiarize myself with the case data and materials in the psychiatry department tomorrow morning. I'm very busy, so I don't think I'll be able to spare the time. However, I'll be seeing patients in the counseling department tomorrow afternoon. You can make an appointment directly through the intranet system."

When Su Fangxiao heard the first half of the sentence, he could hardly hide his disappointment, but then things took a turn for the better and he saw the light.

She nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, I'll apply right away."

Xia Meng smiled and said, "See you tomorrow then."

Su Fangxiao: "Okay, then——"

"Su, won't you introduce this young lady to us as well?"

Su Fangxiao paused and turned sideways.

Xia Meng raised her eyes and looked over.

Behind Su Fangxiao, there were four tall men wearing special service uniforms just like Su Fangxiao.

The black special forces uniforms on their tall and slender bodies made them look even more tall and handsome.

These four handsome guys have their own unique looks.

Xia Meng lowered her eyes and looked at the nameplates on their left chests.

The young man who put his arm on Su Fangxiao's shoulder and acted like a good friend of hers was called Pei Ziling, an A-level sentry.

Pei Ziling seemed to be a lively and outgoing person. He greeted Xia Meng with a smile, "Just now I heard Susu bragging to us that she met a super beautiful girl and that we were 80% compatible. Let me introduce myself. I'm Susu's colleague and also an A-level sentry in the Alpha Special Forces. My name is Pei Ziling."

Xia Meng nodded generously: "Hello, my name is Xia Meng."

Pei Ziling pointed behind him and introduced the three people behind him as well.

Standing behind him was a baby-faced, fair-skinned man who looked very young, as if he had just graduated from college. "This is the youngest member of our team, Lu Wen, and he's also an A-level sentinel. By the way, all of our Alphas are A-level."

Beside Lu Wen, two big guys stood side by side.

One of them looked a bit fierce and serious. He seemed to be in his thirties and had the sharpness of someone who had worked on the front line for more than ten years.

This man is called Ning Yi, and he is the captain of Alpha.

As for the last one, he wears glasses and looks gentle and refined with a gentle temperament.

His name is very similar to the feeling he gives people. His name is Wen Zezhou.

Xia Meng greeted them one by one.

Pei Ziling said excitedly, "Miss! When you're free, why don't you take a compatibility test with us? I see you're quite approachable, so maybe we're quite compatible!"

Xia Meng thought for a moment, "Forget about today. Let's do it tomorrow. Before lunch break, you can go to the counseling department to take a test with me. If the match is suitable, you can directly make an appointment with me for the counseling session this afternoon."

According to the rules of the Guidance Center, direct guidance is not allowed unless a matching test has been conducted.

Xia Meng planned to reserve an appointment spot for Li Zhou, thinking that he should be able to make an appointment today. Among the three spots, he would take one, Su Fangxiao would take one, and the remaining one would be left to any of them.

Xia Meng nodded at them: "That's it, I'll be leaving first."

"Okay!~"

"Goodbye, little sister~"

"See you tomorrow!"

Even the seemingly serious Ning Yi looked at her with a slightly eager look.

After Xia Meng left, these people exchanged glances.

Pei Ziling nudged Su Fangxiao: "She is indeed a beautiful young lady! I like her."

Lu Wen touched the tip of his nose and said softly and shyly, "She smells really good."

Wen Zezhou pushed his glasses up and said pertinently, "If you're impressed at first sight, it seems like you two are a good match. Ning, what do you think?"

Ning Yi was silent for a moment, then nodded: "It's indeed good."

Pei Ziling chuckled, "I remember that each guide in the Guidance Department only takes three spots per afternoon. It'll all depend on who can grab them. Let me make it clear! Don't compete with your hand speed. I can't beat you. We'll just see who has the highest matching rate. Whoever has the highest rate will go. The rest will wait for the next trip. Okay?"

"Can."

"good."

"Su, what are you doing?"

Su Fangxiao was busy working on his phone. "Need I ask? Of course it's for a reservation! 80%, that's already the highest match rate. Shouldn't I get one of the three spots?"

The remaining four looked at each other.

Yes, this is indeed irrefutable.

Pei Ziling suddenly remembered something and hooked his arm around Su Fangxiao's shoulder. He lowered his voice and said, "I heard that that guy, Li..."

He paused, not even daring to pronounce Li Zhou's name in full.

This is the fear of S-level that is ingrained in many A-level Sentinels.

"You know, that guy who also took the test with her? What's their match rate?"

Su Fangxiao pursed her lips.

All information related to the S-level is not allowed to be discussed privately, let alone leaked. This is an unwritten rule in the Black Tower.

Once the news gets out and is known by the top leaders of the Black Tower, she will be in big trouble.

Su Fangxiao rolled her eyes: "I can't say it, do you want me to be punished?"

Pei Ziling pouted. "I'm just asking out of curiosity. I promise I won't tell anyone else. What's their compatibility rate? 40%? 45%? It can't possibly be 50%!?"

Su Fangxiao pursed her lips and looked at him meaningfully.

If it was really that low, the whole meeting room wouldn't have been so shocked.

Xia Meng's name has spread throughout the Black Tower in the past few days.

First, he stood up to overturn the verdict on the suspect in the school beauty murder case and prove his innocence; then he pulled the person who was in a coma due to a strange disease back from the coma; now he went directly to the scene to carry out the mission.

You can see her everywhere and hear her name, it's so dazzling.

These people had just returned from a mission in the afternoon and had just heard of such a person.

Pei Ziling and the others were immediately interested.

Who doesn’t love such a handsome and beautiful guide girl?

I heard that she is a recent graduate from a medical department and is working at their guide center. She is a gentle angel in white!

Nowadays, the relationship between the two groups, the Sentinels and the Guides, is a bit... well... how should I put it, a bit stiff, and they don't get along with each other.

Some sentinels look down on the guides, thinking they are too weak and have no combat power at all. At best, they are just containers that provide them with spiritual power. Why should they be compared with them?

The guides, on the other hand, felt that the sentinels were barbaric and rude, monsters that could be easily controlled by their own mental black spots and go berserk and rampaging; they were just low-level animals whose entire lives were controlled by the guides' mental power and guide elements.

They are okay in the Alpha team.

Because Ning Yi's biological sister is a guide.

Influenced by him, the people in their team usually pay attention to maintaining relationships with the guides and also pay attention to maintaining the reputation of the Alpha Team among the guides.

Pei Ziling guessed something from Su Fangxiao's eyes.

He was in disbelief for three seconds, then lowered his voice again and asked in shock, "Could it be over 55%!?"

Su Fangxiao: “…”

Young man, you might as well make a bolder guess.

Su Fangxiao pushed his big face away and said, "Alright, stop guessing! Be careful if Director Zhou finds out, you'll be in big trouble!"

…

Xia Meng went home directly after get off work.

So many things happened today that she felt a little exhausted.

As expected, a monthly salary of 300,000 is not that easy to earn.

Moreover, she had secretly asked Su Fangxiao on the way today that their Alpha team's base salary was 50,000 to 100,000, and there would be additional bonuses for each mission.

The amount of the reward varies depending on the difficulty of the task.

Of the two incidents Xia Meng experienced today, the one with Huo Qingyu could at least be considered an A-level mission, and a large-scale incident like the one at Jingbei Hospital could even be considered an S-level mission.

A-level tasks cost 3,000 yuan each time, and S-level tasks cost 7,000 yuan each time.

After calculating it this way, she actually lost money.

After all, she still has to do the work of psychiatry and counseling.

Why.

Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world.

There is no such thing as a monthly salary of 300,000 yuan for no reason.

What a profiteer!

Xia Meng fell exhausted on the sofa.

I used to always hear seniors say that they envied those of them who were still studying in school, and that being a corporate slave was not easy.

At the time, she only felt envious. What was wrong with being a social animal? Financial freedom, spiritual freedom, and most importantly, no need to be tossed around by teachers every day.

Now, she finally got her wish and became a social animal, only to find that although there were no teachers to torment people, there were patients, leaders, and colleagues who lined up and took turns to torment people and create problems.

It was not even five o'clock when Xia Meng got home, and she fell asleep immediately on the sofa.

When she woke up again, it was still dark outside the window.

Xia Meng got up and stretched, feeling refreshed. Seeing that it was still light outside, she asked, "I only slept for an hour?"

When I picked up my phone, it was already past five in the morning.

She slept for more than twelve hours.

Xia Meng stared at the phone in amazement, and couldn't help muttering to herself: "No wonder Heita gets off work so early every day. It's not even enough for me to catch up on sleep."

Dozens of messages have already filled up my phone.

Most of them are greeting messages sent by school classmates.

Jingbei Hospital is the base camp of their Jingbei University Medical School.

The Black Tower later deleted all leaked photos of the scene, but many of the onlookers knew Xia Meng, and the news of Xia Meng entering the Black Tower spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and finally spread throughout the entire medical school.

Xia Meng picked out a few and sent them back.

Then he clicked on the message sent by Wang Xiangyi.

[Lao Wang: I'm going grocery shopping the day after tomorrow. Have you decided what to eat?]

Lao Wang: Hello? Where are you?

【Lao Wang: I won’t wait for you if you’re overdue.】

I looked at the time and saw that it was sent last night.

Once she falls asleep she tends to fall into a deep sleep.

She typed quickly, originally wanting to ask what she likes to eat, Lao Wang, do you still need to ask?

But then she thought, she wasn't the only one invited to the banquet today. Li Zhou, Ou Xu, and Su Fangxiao were also there. She should ask their opinions, too, right?

Xia Meng flipped through the list again and directly added the four of them to a group.

【Xia Meng: Friends! Good morning! 】

[Xia Meng: Ask for my master! What do you want to eat tomorrow night?]

[Xia Meng: Friendly reminder! My master specializes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, as well as Cantonese cuisine! He's also a master at cooking seafood!]

After a few seconds, the first person to reply was Li Zhou.

【Li Zhou: I can do either.】

A few minutes later, Su Fangxiao sent a voice message of more than ten seconds.

She was obviously not awake yet, and when she opened her mouth, she was full of sleepiness.

Su Fangxiao: Um... seafood... Okay, okay, I love seafood, and I also love meat. Can we order something like braised pork?

Su Fangxiao's wish is too simple.

Can’t you eat braised pork in the Black Tower Canteen anytime?

Xia Meng was almost moved.

In order not to waste her master's superb cooking skills, she ordered the dishes for her.

[Xia Meng: Okay, then I'll order you some Dongpo pork! And some Cantonese-style roast meat! How about that?]

[Su Fangxiao: Good, good, good...]

[Xia Meng: Now only Ou Xu is left. @Ou Xu? Where is he?]

Su Fangxiao: Don't tag him. That person never logs into this work account after work.

[Xia Meng: But he gave me a private account.]

【Su Fangxiao:! 】

[Su Fangxiao: What did he say before? He doesn't add colleagues to his personal account.]

Xia Meng: “…”

Maybe I just won’t add you.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, Ou Xu sent her frantic messages in private chat.

【Ou Xu: !!! 】

[Ou Xu: Why did you pull my account!!!]

[Ou Xu: It’s over, she’s definitely going to add me like crazy!!!]

[Xia Meng: You don't have to be so nervous, do you? She won't do anything to you.]

Ou Xu: You don't understand people like you! In her eyes, I'm probably just her toy, and my little one is just her dog's toy!!! She'll drag me into all kinds of groups and have her colleagues and friends take turns teasing me!!! Demonic behavior! Outrageous!!

【Xia Meng:. 】

Xia Meng: To be honest, in my eyes, you look a lot like a toy.

[Ou Xu: By the way, I love vegetables. Please make me some vegetarian dishes. Thank you.]

[Xia Meng: Yes, the combination of meat and vegetables is perfect.]

The silence in the group was deafening.

…

Xia Meng had had enough sleep.

Lying down again would be useless.

She quickly got up, washed her hair, and took a bath, completely leaving behind the tiredness from yesterday's busy life.

At 8:07, she went out on time.

At 8:15, I boarded Line 21 bound for Yanshan Terminal on time.

At 8:25, Line 21 arrived at the terminal on time.

At 8:28, she stepped into the gate of the Black Tower on time.

Then, wait another two minutes for the elevator.

Perfect.

As soon as Xia Meng appeared, she was vaguely looked at by many burning gazes from all around.

Farther away, there was a rustling sound.

"She is that Xia Meng?"

“It’s really beautiful!”

"I heard that she was the one who partnered with that S-rank Sentinel?"

"Is this true? She's also S-rank?"

"No, I heard it was a B-level one."

"A B-rank can partner with an S-rank? Are you kidding me?"

"Anyway, I heard that the bosses from Team Alpha were talking about her yesterday. They said they were going to the counseling department today to find her and arrange counseling for her."

"Oh wow, how about we try our luck?"

"Then we have to do a compatibility test with her first? She hasn't publicly accepted the match, right?"

"Go back and ask her how I can match her."

"That's hilarious! Even A-rank sentinels have to queue up. How can you be expected to get a turn?"

"Can't I just dream?"

Amidst the discussions, Xia Meng calmly took out her cell phone, turned on the player and changed to the next song.

The song just now was so exciting, so loud in the morning, it made her head hurt.

The elevator is here.

Xia Meng looked around and found that several young men in black uniforms standing beside her were signaling her to go first.

A good-looking young man smiled at her with dimples: "Ladies first."

Xia Meng smiled at him: "Thank you."

Just at this moment, a light and gentle prelude sounded in the headphones.

Xia Meng thought in a very good mood that it seemed that the relationship between the sentries inside the Black Tower was very good.

Look at these sentries, each one of them is quite polite and knows how to give way to others.

Once inside the elevator, all the rustling sounds disappeared.

Everyone watched as she stopped at the floor of the Guide Center and walked in.

As soon as the elevator door closed, everyone couldn't help but start again.

"She smells so good."

"Why do I feel like her hair is shining?"

"I like her! Maybe we're quite compatible!"

"Let's try to get her number this afternoon!"

…

Xia Meng works in the psychiatric department in the morning.

There are many things to hand over at work.

However, the seniors in the psychiatry department were all lying in the ward, unconscious, and Xia Meng could only hand over the work to the nurses at the nurses' station.

The head nurse of the psychiatric department was responsible for handing over work to her in the morning.

The head nurse's surname is Liang. She is in her forties, very cheerful and enthusiastic. People in the psychiatric department call her Sister Liang.

Xia Meng followed the local customs and called her Sister Liang along with everyone else.

Sister Liang: "Actually, there hasn't been much work in the psychiatry department recently. After the department director and several attending physicians fell ill, we had no choice but to send most of the patients away. Some were discharged, and some were transferred to the Beijing Jingwei Center. Only a few of the more serious cases remained, and we couldn't arrange for them to be treated. They are now staying here and being cared for by us."

Xia Meng nodded and looked at the medical records brought by the head nurse one by one.

They are indeed some serious illnesses.

Each of them has a history of suicide at least once.

In the field of psychiatry, patients who have attempted suicide once are generally considered to be the most dangerous patients.

It is dangerous to yourself and to those around you.

Such serious illnesses are a burden no matter where they are sent.

However, sentinels or guides are simply not something that ordinary humans can control.

It is not something they can understand or treat.

Xia Meng then followed the head nurse to make rounds, checking the mental state of each patient one by one, and then comparing the medications prescribed by her predecessors, carefully increasing or decreasing the dosage.

By the time I finished one set of work, a whole morning had passed.

Xia Meng punched out on time, said goodbye to the nurses at the desk and left.

At the nurses' station, the young nurses came over and asked the head nurse, "Sister Liang, how is this new girl?"

They have been leaderless for a month, and they were all impatiently waiting for a big Buddha to descend from the sky to regain control of the psychiatric department. But Director Bai actually sent a newly awakened newcomer. It would be a lie to say that they were not disappointed.

As a result, the look on Head Nurse Liang's face at this time was one of joy.

She was obviously very happy. While sorting through every medical record that Xia Meng had flipped through, she said, "Don't worry, this time we have someone who is really capable."

The head nurse has been working in the psychiatric department for decades, and she can basically tell how much knowledge the new young doctor has at a glance.

She observed Xia Meng for the whole morning.

This young girl was bold in using medication, but at the same time very cautious. She carefully referred to every examination report of every patient and the medication records of the previous attending physician.

Every adjustment to medication is based on reason and has a traceable basis.

Be bold and careful, and you will have a bright future.

Head Nurse Liang has a very good impression of Xia Meng.

…

Xia Meng went directly to the counseling department during lunch break.

Ou Xu was already there, about to go to the cafeteria. When he saw her coming, he called out, "Want to go together?"

Xia Meng had been brainstorming for the entire morning and was now extremely exhausted.

She lay down on the sofa in the lounge area, waved her hands and said, "I'll just eat a sandwich. I can't do it anymore. I need to lie down for a while."

Seeing her like this, Ou Xu simply decided not to leave.

I went to the vending machine and bought two sandwiches and two bottles of yogurt. I handed one to her and said, "Here, have some."

Seeing that Xia Meng didn't move, Ou Xu didn't rush her. He placed the sandwich and yogurt in front of her, then sat down beside her and slowly began to chew the sandwich. While eating, he said incoherently, "If you are really that tired, why don't you guide the group this afternoon? For a guide, guiding is a tiring job."

"Don't." Xia Meng opened her eyes. "I've been racking my brains all morning, but I've only managed to hold on until now because I imagined I'd be free in the afternoon."

Wang Xiangyi always said that she didn't like to use her brain.

It’s not that I don’t have the brains, it’s just that I find it too tiring to use my brain.

In comparison, she would rather be physically tired.

For example, guiding the sentries.

Ou Xu found it funny: "Do you think counseling is just a physical job?"

Xia Meng turned her head and lay down to look him in the face: "Isn't it?"

Ou Xu: "Of course not. During the counseling, you have to compete with the sentries anytime and anywhere. It's not much easier than in your psychiatric department."

Xia Meng perked up and asked curiously, "How's this battle of wits and courage?"

So Ou Xu directly and generously shared his years of counseling experience.

Ou Xu: "Most Sentinels always feel superior to their Guides. Of course, this is just their own opinion. I never agree with it."

Xia Meng smiled.

Ou Xu: "So, many Sentinels will bring up their own little requests and habits during the counseling process. Some of them are quite excessive. If they really make any strange requests of you, you must never agree to them. Sentinels are the most demanding creatures in the world."

Xia Meng was curious: "How do you push things further?"

Ou Xu sighed: "Do you know the three levels of counseling?"

Xia Meng: "I know. The first level is skin contact, the second level is oral contact, and the third level is sexual contact?"

Xia Meng spoke with grace and grace, but Ou Xu couldn't help blushing, as if recalling some unpleasant memories. "So, our counseling department generally only provides level one counseling, but some sentries often make rather offensive requests. Also, high-level sentries are generally good-looking and good at using their beauty to deceive people! Some are also very good at playing the victim and acting cute, so don't be fooled by them! Also, don't give them the opportunity to force you! Always keep an arm's length away! They are very good at playing the victim and forcing themselves on you! The security button must be kept at hand at all times!"

Xia Meng suddenly understood.

Is it so exciting behind the door to the new world?

Seeing how experienced and resentful Ou Xu is, could it be that during these years... ?

Tsk tsk.

Poor child.
