Chapter 53 019 [Then I’ll come over and let you touch me next time.]…
You've seen it many times.
【I know. 】
[Warning! Your mental status is abnormal! Abnormal! Abnormal!]
【I know. 】
[Then why don't you seek spiritual guidance from the resident guide? ]
【.......】
In a pure white room, Lucas sat on the edge of a bed covered with pure white sheets and quilts, wearing the uniform training uniform distributed by the Abnormal Control Committee.
The overall color is pure black, and it is hard to tell what the specific fabric is, but it is very comfortable to wear and there is no sense of restraint.
I heard that it is coated with a special paint, which is the latest research result. There is a micro-sensor device built into the chest that can monitor vital signs such as heart rate and blood pressure in real time, and synchronize the data to the command center.
There are also many other functions. It can be regarded as a training uniform that is both protective and functional. Many sentinels who have just graduated from the tower are full of curiosity about it.
Lucas wasn't very happy.
He seemed to be sitting quietly, but in fact he was observing Wu Cisheng's recent movements through the system.
Ci Sheng had only been in office for a month, but he had already gained considerable popularity among the sentries. His reservation number in the secondary market was several times more expensive than that of other guides.
Lucas specifically visited the Sentinel Forum to see them share their healing process with Wu Cisheng, and they all commented that he was very friendly and patient.
Some sentinels also praised his little ferret for being very cute, but unfortunately, apart from the healing time, it spent most of its time nestled on Wu Cisheng's shoulder, and no matter how much he tried to tease it, it would stay very far away.
As he spoke these words, Lucas unconsciously recalled the last time he met the little guy.
It is said that most spiritual bodies follow their masters, and this is vividly reflected in the little weasel.
Cisheng cares a lot about his image. Even when he is blind, he always pays attention to whether his hair is messy and his clothes are neat, and he will try to smooth out the wrinkles on his clothes.
The same is true for the little ermine. It has snow-white fur that is very easy to get stained. You can often see it spending a lot of time licking its fur to keep itself clean and tidy.
Not only their behavior, but their personalities are also very similar.
Wu Ci Sheng is a cautious person, and so is the little ermine. Although it looks like a cute glutinous rice dumpling, it is difficult to approach. Its ears are always alert to the movements around it, and it stays on Wu Ci Sheng most of the time unless it is necessary.
Lucas had read books on spirits, which recorded that if a spirit always depended on its master, always curled up, and rarely took the initiative to communicate with others, it meant that the spirit did not trust its surroundings enough and was always in a state of alertness.
When Lucas saw this, he immediately thought of the little ferret. As the spiritual being that can best reflect the mood and state of its owner, does this represent Ci Sheng's mood?
It means that although Ci Sheng appears to be gentle to others, there is actually an invisible transparent film between him and the people around him. It means that he cannot trust others deep down in his heart. It means that he is always vigilant and alert. So the little ferret is only willing to stay with its owner who is absolutely safe for it?
Lucas was not an expert in studying spiritual bodies, so he didn't know whether his guess was correct. He was just making guesses based on some clues he discovered when he was with Wu Cisheng.
Maybe Cisheng didn't like him following him around like a shadow? After all, wasn't that what the previous savior did?
Before being led by the staff of the Abnormal Management Committee to attend the training, Lucas and Wu Cisheng specifically talked about it, but Wu Cisheng was registering his information at the time and probably didn't listen to him carefully, so he just said "hmm" when he heard it.
Before Lucas left, he looked back a few times. Wu Cisheng was wearing clean and tidy new clothes and was surrounded by other people.
It just so happened that the weather was particularly good that day. In the sapphire-blue sky, a few white clouds like cotton candy were floating leisurely. The pouring sunlight cast a layer of fluffy glow on Wu Cisheng's head and eyes.
The Capital Tower is worthy of being the highest institution of learning for aliens in this world. Uniquely shaped buildings can be seen everywhere, and the special materials of the exterior walls will appear a soft light gold under the sunlight.
There is no dust or debris on the road, and small cleaning robots are moving flexibly every few meters.
The aliens coming and going are either strolling leisurely in groups of three or five or walking hurriedly alone, accompanied by spiritual beings of different shapes and sizes. This comfortable and peaceful environment is like two different worlds from the outside world.
Recalling what Ci Sheng looked like before, he was walking on the old streets, wearing large sunglasses, and vigilantly and carefully groping for every possible obstacle.
At that time, Lucas had only one thought in his mind: That’s great, this is Ci Sheng’s original life, he is finally back on track.
Lucas looked at it deeply twice, then left with the senior sentry beside him.
Although the ostensible explanation for this so-called training was that it was to help him better understand the Abnormal Control Committee and integrate more quickly, Lucas knew in his heart that this so-called "training" was, in a sense, an assessment.
After all, Lucas is not a local and his origins are mysterious. The Abnormal Control Committee will naturally have some concerns about him, and it is normal for them to want to test his thoughts.
Training is just another survey following the previous "information entry".
Of course Lucas could refuse, but as an outsider, if he still wanted to stay in this country and did not comply with local procedures, it was uncertain what would happen next.
So he chose to cooperate.
The training location is in a secret base that does not exist on the map. The first two weeks are basically some basic physical training. The life is similar to that in a military academy. There are set times for meals, training and rest, and there are designated areas for activities.
Lucas speculated, drawing on his past life's experience, that they were testing his cooperation first. Fortunately, he performed well in the first two weeks. Starting in the third week, he was given an early promotion and transferred to a more secret base. Senior members of the Abnormal Control Committee began to guide him in completing missions that didn't involve core secrets.
Before he knew it, it was already his fourth week here, and he didn't know what he would do next week.
Lucas slept in a separate silent room, listening to the sound of running water on the walls around him. He blinked, and the color of his eyes changed to a greenish-blue color with the images in his mind.
Before that, he sent several messages to Ci Sheng during his break, basically saying that he had come for training and explaining that he didn't have much time during the week and was only free before going to bed at night.
I gradually shared with Ci Sheng some of my life, meals, etc.
Lucas wasn't very good at chatting, and the messages he sent weren't interesting. They were just dry descriptions, and at first glance they even looked like work reports.
03399 specifically commented on the reply content: [It makes people have no desire to reply]
The bad news is that Wu Cisheng really didn’t respond.
The good news is that according to Lucas's searches on the alien internal forum before going to bed every day, as well as systematic observation, Ci Sheng's lack of reply is most likely not because the content is boring, but the main reason is probably that he is really too busy right now!
In theory, both sentinels and guides need to do internships after graduation, but the latter are not like sentins, who are tall and strong and can be used like animals. The internship place for guides is generally the guidance center in the tower, or they are assigned to various sentinel stations, front-line bases, local alien management committees, etc.
Generally speaking, the work of an intern guide is not very heavy. The reason why Wu Cisheng is busy is largely because he takes on some things outside of his job as an intern guide.
His purpose is quite clear. He wants to do more work and show his face more at the grassroots level during the internship. After the internship, he will have a beautiful resume and an excellent reputation, which will naturally be of great help to his future career.
Ordinary people have no background or connections, so this is the only way they can go. Wu Cisheng has a clear plan.
Since those reporters came to him, he took the initiative to share his past experiences, using them to make himself famous, and even preparing to publish a book.
While other guides only chose one of the internship positions, he chose all and completed the work on each side very well.
Just one thing: really busy!
The internship period for a guide is generally six months. In the first month, most new guides are just led by their seniors to familiarize themselves with the process, and they have to wait until the third, fourth or fifth month to become independent.
Wu Cisheng adapted very quickly. He only worked with his seniors for the first two weeks, but in the following weeks, he was able to complete the process independently.
Because he had served as president before, he had a strong learning ability. He would think about some things that his predecessors did not talk about after get off work.
His ranking in the voting for guides on the counseling center's official website has also been rising rapidly.
Lucas saw everything, so he cooperated more during the training, and the senior sentinels who led him looked at him with more and more appreciation.
The path to promotion for a Sentinel is not as complicated as that for a Guide. It requires a combination of many factors. Their only requirement is one thing: strength.
A guide with no background.
An alien sentinel.
Both of them were working together in different places without any prior agreement. Suddenly, these words popped up in Lucas' mind and he laughed out loud.
There were still twenty minutes before lights out. He picked up his phone again without hope and glanced at the screen casually.
It would be fine if I didn't look at it, but when I did, I realized that Ci Sheng had actually replied to the message two minutes ago.
【!!!!!!】
03399 clearly detected Lucas's heartbeat and the sudden surge of hormones in his body. Even the chest area of his training uniform began to heat up and emit a faint red glow.
He read the message over and over again.
Wu Cisheng's first message was to explain why he didn't reply to the message: "Lucas, it's me. I'm so sorry, I was really busy the past few days, so I didn't reply to your message in time."
The second one was a reply to his previous message: [Have you arrived there yet? I saw the pictures and videos you shared, they look good. Is everything going well?]
The third one abruptly replied to one of his voice messages: [Actually, you don't have to deliberately... deliberately lower your voice to talk to me. You can communicate with me in a normal voice, it's okay.]
The fourth one is to ask about his recent situation: [Oh, I still need to organize the materials. How about you? How long will it take to finish? What are you working on?]
Lucas began to reply, and perhaps because of his excitement, he made several typos while typing. The last message took him a full five minutes to type.
Lucas: [I don't know exactly how long it will take to finish, but I'm no longer a trainee sentry. I became a regular two days ago. I'm getting ready to rest. Yeah, I'm thinking about you.]
As more messages appeared on the input screen, an emoticon of stroking a puppy's head appeared in Wu Cisheng's dialog box.
What's the meaning?
Lucas stared at the expression for a moment, then reached out and touched his head, taking a picture of it and sending it.
【is that so? 】
【But my spirit body is not a dog.】
Wu Cisheng stared at the reply and smiled, while the other party continued to send new messages:
【Do you want to touch it? 】
【Then I'll come over and let you touch me next time. 】
[The spirit just appeared. I think it must be missing you too.]
After the text message, he sent another new video. The first half showed a huge gray wolf tilting its head towards the camera, and the voice-over was Lucas telling it to go back quickly. In the second half, the entire video suddenly turned black, Lucas said an interjection, and the video ended.
[We're turning off the lights and going to bed. We'll be checking the room later to make sure there's no light in it.]
Although Wu Cisheng felt that this rule was indeed a bit too harsh, he quickly replied: "Then you can take a rest."
The other party showed that they were typing, and a new message came in a moment later: [No, I can hide under the covers and text you. I can also connect to the Internet during the day when I'm on a mission. That's the only time we can chat.]
………
Wu Cisheng suddenly didn't know how to reply. Another message came in: [Cisheng, I really want to chat with you. Thank you for sending me a message today. I'm very happy.]
He seemed to be simply describing his feelings, but also seemed to be expressing his love directly.
“………”
Wu Cisheng was checking the next day's appointment information in the guide dormitory at that time. A colleague happened to pass by outside and was talking on the phone with the binding sentry.
Just by listening to the sticky and sweet voice, you can guess that the two of them must be in the passionate period of love. The girl's laughter floated into my ears through the half-open window.
"What are you doing... Yeah, I miss you too... I miss you so much... When will your mission be over?... Okay, I got it..."
After Wu Cisheng returned to the tower, he did receive many inquiries about his own feelings.
Ask him if he is single now, if he is currently bound to a Sentinel, if he has considered starting a new relationship, and what type of relationship he likes.
He also asked in a gossipy tone what his relationship was with the red-haired sentinel who had been beside him, and whether he was a reserve member of the bound sentinel?
Binding a Sentinel is similar to getting married between ordinary people, it is a unique and solemn thing.
The first lesson for freshmen entering the tower is about the relationship between the guide and the sentinel. Although the former is physically weak, he has strong mental strength, while the latter is physically strong but weak mentally. The two complement each other, and binding is extremely beneficial to both parties.
Binding can be divided into long-term and short-term. Wu Cisheng almost formed a short-term binding relationship with a classmate in the past, but it was just a little bit off.
He was a senior in the student union at that time and was very busy with affairs, but he wanted to do everything to the best of his ability, so he didn't have much time to spend with the other person.
When he finally had some free time, the sentinel who insisted that he was the only one who could do it had already formed a short-term binding relationship with another guide.
Wu Cisheng was not disappointed. After all, the reason he agreed to consider it was only because the other party's father held an important position in the Alien Management Committee, and he didn't want to refuse too obviously.
Wu Cisheng had never had, and could not imagine, falling in love at first sight with anyone, like the love-hate stories in the popular posts on the guide's internal forum, or falling in love with a sentry at first sight.
He hadn't recalled these trivial things for a long time, but influenced by Lucas's straightforward words, he thought about them again.
The buzzing sound of his cell phone brought Wu Cisheng back to his senses. He looked down at the messages on his phone and saw several more messages.
[How are you doing lately? Are you adjusting to work? How's the environment in your current dorm? Is there a lights-out time? If not, you can rent a place outside.]
[The subsidy from my last mission won't be deposited into my card until next week.]
When I entered my information, they sent me a card and said the subsidy would be deposited into it and I could spend it anywhere...
【[picture]】
Authorized Connection
He rubbed his brows and replied one by one:
My current dormitory environment is pretty good, and I live alone...
There is no set lights-out time.
[No need for authorization. Just go to bed early. I heard the training is pretty tiring.]
After sending the text message, he picked and chose and sent a good night emoticon.
He closed his phone. The guide girl outside had left at some point. In the silence, Wu Cisheng glanced at the time bar at the bottom of his computer. It was almost the 11th.
It was exactly eleven fifteen when I tidied up the desk, changed into pajamas, washed up and lay down in bed.
Before going to bed, Wu Cisheng looked at the calendar on his mobile phone again. It showed that in less than two weeks, it would be the day he would regularly call his mother.
Since the day he regained his sight, Wu Cisheng had already made up his mind that he must return to Wutong Town once things in the tower became a little more stable.
Lucas was still by his side at the time. After hearing what he said, he immediately agreed to go back with him. The two of them even discussed for a whole day what gifts to buy.
Will he be free then?
Wait, Wu Cisheng's mind flashed with the scene of randomly selecting abnormal sentinels during the previous exam. He remembered it very clearly that Lucas's number did flash by.
He was a bit puzzled at the time, but didn't dwell on it. Later, he was busy with work, and had no time to ponder why Lucas's number appeared in the Anomaly Sentinel's files. Could it be that his condition was also abnormal? When did it happen? To what extent?
A whirlwind of thoughts raced through his mind, then quickly vanished. Wu Cisheng thought about the next day's work schedule, the cafeteria breakfast, and the distant future, and gradually began to feel drowsy.
Perhaps because he had once experienced the pain of losing his sight, Wu Cisheng became afraid of the dark after regaining his sight and had to leave a night light on every night when he slept.
The warm yellow night light outlined circles of dim light in the silent room, like invisible tentacles, gently caressing Wu Cisheng's face.
Under the high nose bridge, the beautifully shaped thin lips were tightly pursed into a straight line without a trace of curve. The smile that used to be as warm as the spring breeze had now disappeared without a trace, replaced by a kind of coldness that kept people at a distance.
