Chapter 22 The Power of Creation Don't Look into Her Eyes
A tall woman in black combat uniform walked towards him, her long dark purple hair tied into a high ponytail behind her head. She had a pair of narrow and long peach blossom eyes, sharp and three-dimensional facial features, and her red lips were raised. She stepped forward in a few steps.
She stared at Xu Nuo, looking him up and down: "B-level guide?"
Xu Nuo was still clutching the clothes on Wei Yan's chest in his hand, and was supported by him, nodding blankly.
The woman chuckled and held out her hand. "Zong Lan, a Sentinel who doesn't have a life partner yet."
Although Xu Nuo didn't understand the situation, he shook her hand reflexively: "Xu Nuo, an ordinary guide."
The sentry's fingers were slender and long, with a thin layer of calluses on the fingertips. He was tall, with mature and powerful curves. He looked like he could punch a bad guy into the wall and make him unable to get out.
Zong Lan glanced at Wei Yan and said, "Alright, let me hold her. Can't you see I don't want you to hold me?"
Wei Yan looked down at Xu Nuo: "Are you going?"
The moment these two men met, they more or less sent out signals of hostility. The air was filled with a gradually increasing sense of oppression, and some of the lower-ranking white coats showed expressions of panic.
Xu Nuo, sandwiched between them, raised his hand: "I'm almost there, I can walk on my own."
After saying that, she let go of Wei Yan's hand and limped forward like a little old lady without crutches.
Zong Lan laughed loudly behind him: "It's really interesting."
She took a few steps to Xu Nuo's side and supported her: "Come on, I'll go with you. There's no point in dealing with such a stinky man."
With her help, Xu Nuo stood firm, looked back at Wei Yan, and turned around with peace of mind when he found that he was following them.
"What are you afraid of?" Zong Lan saw her movement and raised his eyebrows lazily. "He can't beat me now, don't be afraid."
Xu Nuo: "Excuse me, are you..."
"I am the personal bodyguard of a researcher at the White Tower Laboratory."
"Are we going to the lab now?"
"The mutant you and the other guide encountered is special. It may affect your mental strength and needs to be tested in the laboratory."
"OK, thanks."
"Pfft, what are you thanking me for? The White Tower exists to protect guides and discipline sentinels. Your safety is our responsibility. By the way, I have a suggestion for you..." She suddenly became mysterious.
Xu Nuo looked at her curiously.
"Stay away from the sentry behind you. He is very dangerous. Even Ning Yue can't handle him. Be careful that he might go crazy and suck you dry..." Zong Lan said meaningfully.
Xu Nuo blinked at her hurriedly: "He can hear it."
The sentinels had powerful senses, and even from such a distance, they could probably hear the sounds in their throats clearly.
"I know. I told you he can't beat me right now. Don't be afraid."
"Are you also an A-rank Sentinel?"
"...Oh, that's what he told you?" Zong Lan's tone became a little strange, and he whispered, "That's right, isn't it?"
That is a sentinel that is more powerful than A-level.
There are only five levels of rating for evolved people, from F to A, and the division is not very detailed. Therefore, there are also differences in strength between evolved people of the same level. Some evolved people may have reached the top of the current level, while some have just surpassed the next level.
Someone like Wei Yanzonglan should be a super A grade.
Now that he was in the White Tower, Xu Nuo couldn't help but think of the two S-level guides and three S-level sentinels there. These were S-level—would I ever be lucky enough to see one? What kind of strength did S-level possess? The kind that could change the world with a wave of their hand?
Curious, she followed the crowd into a silver-gray building in front of the square. The building had an unknown number of floors, its summit reaching into the clouds. The interior was a stark, pure white, rigorous aesthetic. The ground floor lobby was filled with solemn, monotonous slogans and signs, while a massive holographic display screen looped experimental animations.
Zong Lan took her hand and walked into the elevator. He swiped the magnetic card on the sensor, and the elevator, full of people, went straight up.
"By the way, don't talk nonsense once you enter this building." Zong Lan said casually.
"Why?"
She said mysteriously, "There's a pervert in this building who loves to eavesdrop on other people's conversations. It would be terrible if he caught me. But it won't matter after the 30th floor. Ning Yue's mental barrier will block this place."
"Ning Yue?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you," Zong Lan suddenly revealed a proud and honored smile, "Tang Ningyue, the world's most powerful S-level guide, is currently on the 33rd floor of the White Tower Laboratory, awaiting your arrival—"
Ding—the elevator arrived at this very moment.
The metal door slowly opened, revealing a research hall spanning the entire 33rd floor. It was filled with large instruments and equipment, numerous signal indicators and complex information screens with a cold luster, and researchers in white coats shuttled between them like worker bees.
In this busy scene, there was a woman also wearing a white coat standing in front of an instrument. Almost as soon as they met, Xu Nuo knew that this was Tang Ningyue.
The aura around her was so special. It was a feeling indescribable—like walking on the beach under a tranquil moonlit night, the sea breeze carrying a damp, salty scent. This vast ocean, which should be majestic and turbulent, was instead gentle before the tiny human. The tide gently crept onto the beach, greeting her with a friendly greeting as her legs soaked.
"Ning Yue, they are here." Zong Lan said loudly.
Tang Ningyue turned around, revealing a pair of blue eyes as gentle as the sea. Her skin was as white as cream, her eyebrows were like crescent moons, and her fair and tranquil face seemed to be shrouded in a pure and holy halo. Just standing there made people feel peaceful.
She smiled and said, "Hello."
Xu Nuo was faintly excited.
This is the strength of an S-level wizard. It is extraordinary at first sight. An S-level wizard, alive!
"Hello!" she said loudly.
Tang Ningyue smiled and nodded, then raised her hand and Fu Xue floated up from the stretcher, as if something was steadily carrying her into the laboratory.
"Ning Yue's mental power has been condensed to the point where she can even pick up objects from the air," Zong Lan patted her shoulder proudly. "Keep going, and you'll be able to do the same in the future if you work hard."
"Condensing mental power?" Xu Nuo was curious.
She only knew that the guides could extend mental tentacles from themselves, the linked sentinels, and their respective spiritual bodies to intervene in battles, but this was the first time she had seen someone control it silently from a distance like Tang Ningyue.
Zong Lan said happily, "She can purify without linking to a sentinel. Her mental power has formed a solid substance that permeates her body and can be called upon at any time. It's much more convenient than tentacles. I heard from the researchers here that Ning Yue is the most powerful evolved person in history. She may be able to break through to another level in her lifetime."
"More than S-rank?"
Zong Lan tilted his eyebrows. "That description is inaccurate. It doesn't highlight her power. Researchers say that once Ning Yue breaks through to S-level, her state cannot be judged by the current power system. It is a kind of creative power that can create matter out of thin air, change the world, turn deserts into oases, and wastelands into habitable places."
"Perhaps by then, humans will no longer be persecuted by pollution and mutants, and can rebuild their homes before the wasteland era..."
"Alan." Tang Ningyue called from the other side.
Zong Lan responded quickly, put down the words and walked away quickly.
As she left, Xu Nuo lost her strength and couldn't stand still for a moment. A hand passed through her arm to support her. Wei Yan whispered behind her: "Don't look into Tang Ningyue's eyes."
