Chapter 2: Purification or Soothing? The sticky swamp mud wrapped around the tentacles, and...
Xu Nuo tensed up the moment the man appeared, his gun in his hand ready to fire.
"Is anyone still alive?"
The person who came in with the footsteps had a clear voice and was wearing a slim black and white combat uniform. He brought a bit of a chill with him when he stepped in.
He didn't care about the gun in front of him. He frowned and took off his blood-stained gloves. His boots stepped on the ground covered with debris and rags. His muscles bulged under his combat uniform, as if he had just experienced a fierce battle.
This man had a handsome face, but he had a stern aura. His pair of deep and sharp black eyes swept over the monster's corpse with an indifferent expression, but the next second when he looked at Xu Nuo, his gaze froze.
Xu Nuo raised his gun and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
The man narrowed his gaze and was surprisingly easy to talk to. "Wei Yan, a sophomore in the Sentinel Department at the Capital Military Academy, is returning to school on this train, just like you."
Xu Nuo: "Throw away the gun."
His gun fell to the ground with a sharp snap.
Xu Nuo kicked the gun away and asked, "Why aren't you wearing your school uniform?"
He raised his hands and said innocently, "I just went on a mission to the White Tower. The uniform is in the suitcase. If you need it, I can take you to see it."
"Which car?"
"Number three, seat 15B, get on the bus at Fenglin Station."
He answered promptly and affirmatively, showing no signs of distortion or contamination. Xu Nuo lowered his gun and said, "I'm sorry, I was worried you were a mutant in disguise."
The man tilted his head, his expression unclear. "It's okay. As a guide, you're very good at protecting yourself."
Xu Nuo bent down to pick up the gun that had fallen to the ground. Seeing that his eyes were fixed on the monster, he also looked in that direction: "Is there anything unusual?"
His gaze immediately fell on her again: "Miss Guide, are you hurt anywhere?"
Xu Nuo realized he hadn't introduced himself yet and quickly forced a friendly smile. "Hello, senior. I'm Xu Nuo, a freshman in the Guidance Department. Thanks to your timely rescue, I'm not injured."
Even in her overly official smile, her eyes curved into crescents and the corners of her mouth curled high. This was a habit she had had since childhood, and it made people feel soft-hearted.
Wei Yan's Adam's apple moved up and down, but he didn't say anything.
As Xu Nuo finished speaking, a roar came from the other side of the carriage.
Wei Yan pulled her behind him, a bloody wind blew, and the pair of cold black eyes under the scattered hair on his forehead looked coldly at the monster.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the human-lizard that had just rushed out smashed into the car wall, creating a big hole, and was blown out of the car by the howling wind.
The wind was a bit strong, and Xu Nuo leaned against the wall, trapped in the shadow between Wei Yan and the wall.
Wei Yan turned around, and she was completely enveloped by his aura, blocking the outward suction force brought by the train.
Xu Nuo touched his nose a little embarrassedly, and his eyes wandered to the other side: "Thank you, senior."
The moment her gaze shifted, two bright green vertical eyes suddenly appeared in the pair of cold black pupils on her head, staring straight at the person.
"Thanks to senior's prompt response, otherwise... I would have been in trouble," Xu Nuo was completely unaware. She was grateful, but her attention was also focused on the close distance between them. She couldn't help but ask, "Can you let me go first?"
Wei Yan looked down at their folded hands and gently let them go, but still held her between himself and the wall, ready to fight.
Xu Nuo noticed something strange, and the little yellow bird flew between the two of them, cooing as an alarm.
The big hole in the carriage let in a biting cold wind, which stung my face. There were some tiny noises in the whistling wind.
"careful!"
A red light came, Wei Yan pulled her to avoid it, and a red light flashed behind him. It turned out that dozens of lizardmen squeezed in from the front and rear carriages.
Wei Yan raised his hand and caught the panicked little yellow bird, stuffing it into her arms: "We can't stay in the car anymore, hold on to me, let's go upstairs."
Xu Nuo was very sensible in the face of crisis. He immediately retracted his spiritual body, opened his arms, and tied his waist like an octopus.
Wei Yan's body stiffened and his gaze flew over her head.
Seeing him holding her and dodging several attacks, and the lizardmen gathering more and more, Xu Nuo was anxious: "Let's go, to the roof!"
The man responded softly, holding onto the man's waist, and lightly jumped.
Under the fierce night wind and the attack of the lizard man, Wei Yan took her and used the air to gain incredible momentum, easily climbing to the roof of the car.
With his feet on the roof, Xu Nuo was shocked.
This man's strength far exceeded her expectations. She originally thought that he would have to use some means to climb to the roof, but he just "flew" up with her in such a simple and unpretentious manner?
"Don't move," Wei Yan saw her looking around and moved sideways to block the wind, "It's windy here."
Of course Xu Nuo would not move. The wind here was unusually strong. She was afraid that she would fly out, so she tightened her hands around his waist.
Wei Yan felt a little unnatural, but he quickly controlled himself and walked forward step by step with Xu Nuo.
"Senior," Xu Nuo grimaced as the wind blew, and he could only use his body to block the wind. Even his voice was blown away by the strong wind, "Where are we going?"
The sentinels' five senses were extraordinary. Even in such a harsh and noisy environment, Wei Yan could still catch her voice: "The source of the pollution is in carriage three. We must destroy it, otherwise it will be too late when the train enters the capital station."
Once the pollution source enters the residential area, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Xu Nuo asked tentatively: "How do you destroy it? Just blow it up with one punch?"
Wei Yan smiled and said, "It's not impossible. It's just that I was injured in a fight with other mutants. It's difficult for me to blow them up with one punch alone..."
Xu Nuo said: "What do you need me to do, to purify or comfort you?"
Wei Yan was silent, stopped and hesitated.
Xu Nuo: "What's wrong? Is there something you can't tell me?"
"Nothing, it's just..." He said "but" twice in a row, lowered his head, and his dark eyes were deep under his wind-blown black hair. "If it's just a battle, comforting it will be enough, but if you want to blow it up with a punch, I'm afraid the only way is... a spiritual connection."
"Ah, ah?" Xu Nuo didn't expect that the other party took his words seriously, and stammered, "No, there's no need to blow it up with one punch. Senior, just take it slow and steady."
For spiritual union, the guide must delve into the sentinel's spiritual landscape to soothe and purify it. The two are bound and integrated on a spiritual level, and even produce conscious pleasure, which is an intimate contact second only to physical union.
Not to mention that they have just met each other for a short time, even if they are guide sentinels who have known each other since childhood, such a proposal must be approved by both parties!
Xu Nuo felt a little awkward, but the man who had asked the question remained calm. His seemingly cold black eyes stared at her seriously, asking, "Do you want to start now? I mean... comforting."
It was clearly a very formulaic inquiry, and all that was needed was a deeper spiritual comfort than ordinary purification, but for some reason, when it came out of Wei Yan's mouth, it had a bit of ambiguous meaning.
Xu Nuo felt a little dizzy from the wind, unable to tell if he was being genuine or just talking nonsense. She only felt Wei Yan's hand warm around her. She suppressed her inner turmoil and said seriously, "Okay, let's start now."
"Yeah." Wei Yan's voice was a little low.
Xu Nuo loosened his grip around his waist and changed their posture into an embrace. He soothed him as he usually did during a cleansing session: "Relax and release your spirit."
Her little yellow bird flew out again, flapping its wings with a "coo" sound and trying to flutter towards the two of them. However, the wind was too strong and it was blown over several times in the air.
In a few breaths, a huge shadow rose from behind it, covering the entire roof.
With gray-black shiny mane, strong and sturdy limbs, and dark green vertical pupils like dangerous gems flashing in the dark night, the majestic giant wolf raised its head and a long wolf howl pierced the night sky.
It lay prone with its gray-black body, a long tail coiled around Xu Nuo's feet, and its deep green wolf eyes stared intently at the two people hugging each other in the dark night.
Xiaochu was startled and turned around with a cooing sound. The giant wolf calmly moved its head near the little yellow bird to block the chilly wind for it.
The cold around him was not so severe in an instant. Xu Nuo looked at the black wolf, and the little yellow bird flew towards it excitedly. It stepped on the wolf with its little paws, and its chubby body was immersed in the thick hair, chirping happily.
The spiritual connection was successfully established, and it was their turn next.
Feeling the tingling sensation from the interaction with his spiritual body, Xu Nuo closed his eyes.
When the girl looked away, Wei Yan stopped trying to hide his feelings. He bent down, his close-fitting combat uniform stretched out along his broad back, enclosing her in his tall shadow.
Xu Nuo took a deep breath without realizing it, concentrated his attention, and released his mental tentacles to attach to his body.
As soon as Bu Yi touched the tentacles, Wei Yan trembled violently, and a strong mental power involuntarily emanated from her, pulling her deeper into the water.
Wei Yan was different from any sentinel she had ever seen.
If the spirit of an ordinary sentinel is like a clear pond mixed with filth, then his is like a huge swamp, where mud and filth merge into one, and the center is bottomless.
Xu Nuo just increased some of her mental energy, and they all rushed over, trapping her in the center and wrapping her up intimately.
The sticky swamp mud wrapped around her tentacles, covering them inch by inch, trying to reach deeper. She rubbed the mud tentatively, and it trembled.
"Don't..." Wei Yan panted and grabbed Xu Nuo's waist.
Her waist felt hot, and her movements became larger. Wei Yan's suppressed groan came to her ears. The burning heat in her waist spread along her skin to her back, becoming hot. His big palm caressed her uncontrollably.
Wei Yan murmured in an almost inaudible voice: "Nono..."
Xu Nuo couldn't hear what he was saying. In the chilly wind, the burning heat of her palms slid through the thin fabric to her skin, a blend of heat and cold, mingling with the indescribable comfort of mental contact. Unable to control herself, she tensed her fingertips, trembling slightly. Suddenly, she took a deep breath, clutched the clothing around his chest, and barely managed to control her tentacles, preventing her from delving further into his mental image.
What a terrifying mental power, I almost started to combine with it unconsciously.
The heat on his back was still burning. Xu Nuo finally calmed down and adapted to the unbearable comfort. He carefully opened his tentacles and concentrated on comforting her.
Several tentacles gently caressed Wei Yan's tense muscles, gently cleansing away the filth from the previous battle. His smooth lines trembled from time to time under her touch, and beads of sweat could not help but glisten.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw the person in front of him with his head down, messy hair, and a rolling Adam's apple. The sweat on his forehead slid down his high nose bridge to his neck and soaked into his combat uniform.
She was exhausted and retracted her tentacles. Her legs went limp and she collapsed on him in a utterly ungraceful manner, not wanting to move at all.
Wei Yan slowly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, his eyes were deep, and he hugged the soft Xu Nuo tightly in his arms.
She had no strength left and was unwilling to let him hold her, even moving a finger.
This person almost exhausted her B-level mental power just by doing some spiritual comfort, and he still looked unsatisfied - the swamp mud wanted to pull her into the picture and squeeze her dry until the end.
He must be at least an A-level sentry. How can he be so demanding? Has he never received comfort from a guide?
Ever since Xu Nuo differentiated into a guide, his mental power has always been ahead of his peers. Even when he was purified across levels, this situation rarely occurred.
She even suspected that this guy was S-level.
But although there are more S-level sentinels in the world than S-level guides, they are also very few. They can raze this source of pollution to the ground with just a flick of their fingers. There is no need to play purification games with her here.
Unless she had some other agenda, what could she have? She was completely broke.
Xu Nuo was mentally and physically exhausted, and his brain was almost unable to work.
"Do you want to see the pollution source blown up with one punch?" Wei Yan said suddenly.
Xu Nuo: "? Isn't it impossible?"
He remained calm and gathered her scattered hair. "Just kidding. Your cleansing is more thorough than other guides. My wounds are almost healed."
Xu Nuo was skeptical: "It wasn't a serious injury."
He coughed and urged, "Let's go. Time is running out. We need to destroy the pollution source as soon as possible. Can I carry you?"
Although it was rare for a guide to purify a sentinel's exhaustion, it was by no means new, and his proposal promised no objection.
Wei Yan picked up the exhausted man. Xu Nuo leaned against his neck, a familiar aura enveloping her, and warmth surged where their bodies touched.
The man beside my ear said:
"Watch out, it's coming out."
