Lin Yuan found himself becoming impatient with these banquets, even though he had attended many of them before.

Impatience - another new emotion.

Very good, at least I have been experiencing more and more emotions recently. I just don’t know if I have become more normal or more abnormal.

These things are the guide's duty, everyone says so.

Complete one or two assigned counseling tasks every week, attend various celebrations and activities of the Empire, and participate in various high-end banquets and parties. This is the responsibility and obligation that every normal guide should bear.

Growing up, everyone around him thought so, so Lin Yuan always felt that this was what he should do.

The guide is a soldier belonging to the country. He has been raised in the White Tower since he was a child, enjoying the rich resources provided by the empire. Of course, he must bear responsibilities and obligations.

It's just that, after being away for a month or so, when I came back, I felt uncomfortable and impatient doing the things that I used to take for granted.

"You've been out having fun, and you can't get back on track." Cao Yunyun, who was standing next to Lin Yuan, said to her.

It's not just that I can't change my mind, I simply don't want to come back.

Lin Yuan stood on the stone bridge in the courtyard, watching in boredom a school of fish swimming past in the canal.

The Minister of War's dinner party had the most delicious food, the best wine, and the guests were either the rich and powerful or young rookies. It was an occasion that many people would try their best to attend.

But Lin Yuan felt it was disgusting. The tentacles kept complaining for a long time. Everywhere was disgusting and gloomy, and she didn't want to touch it.

If she hadn't received an invitation that couldn't be refused, she would never have come here.

I'll go out next time. I can delay it as long as I can. I won't come back if I can.

Lin Yuan complained about the cumbersome procedures in his heart and wanted to get his next job as soon as possible.

"So, this time it was Jiang Yangshuo who sent you the invitation letter in the name of the Jiang family?" Cao Yunyun asked her.

Lin Yuan's ex-fiancé Jiang Yangshuo, his aunt Jiang Yimei is the host of this dinner and the empire's Minister of War.

The Jiang family is an old aristocratic family that has stood firm at the center of power in the empire for many years. Jiang Yimei is the most influential person of this generation in the Jiang family.

"Why is he still looking for you? Is he complaining? Isn't the situation embarrassing enough? You have already called off the engagement."

"I have just met him." Lin Yuan said, "He wants me to continue to provide him with spiritual counseling in the future."

Cao Yunyun was so angry that she almost fell down.

"How dare he?" She tried to lower her voice and control her emotions. "How dare he say such brazen words?"

After the affair and infidelity, and after bringing so much criticism and trouble to his ex-fiancee, that Jiang family sentry actually had the nerve to come to Lin Yuan and say such things again.

"How dare he look for you?" Cao Yunyun almost gritted her teeth. "That shameless man, if he wanted to seek spiritual counseling, why didn't he look for his new mentor?"

"He said that the girl's counseling was too gentle and could not completely eliminate the burden brought by the super sense." Lin Yuan spread his hands.

She also couldn't understand Jiang Yangshuo's thoughts. When he was with her, he thought her mental counseling was too rough and strong. He secretly replaced her with a new person, and then he said that the new person was too gentle and not strong enough.

What word should I use to describe this? The word "cheap" seems to be quite appropriate.

Lin Yuan actually didn't take this matter to heart. After taking a walk outside, he suddenly felt that the sky was high and the world was huge.

She had almost forgotten about the little things that had once been a complication.

I just met my ex-fiancé. He looked so gloomy and depressed, as if he was not living a fulfilling life.

"He told me that guides and sentinels are just like doctors and patients. Although we have broken off our engagement, I can still help with the counseling." Lin Yuan touched his chin, "Actually, I think what he said makes sense."

Cao Yunyun was so angry, "You won't agree to him, right?"

"Of course not." Lin Yuan said, "Who cares if he makes sense or not? But I don't need to reason with him. I feel very unhappy when I see him. Why should I agree to him?"

Cao Yunyun smiled and rolled her eyes at Lin Yuan, "You also say you're unhappy? I always thought you didn't feel anything about anything."

"Xiao Yuan, you seem to be a little different after being away for a few months." She stretched out her arm and lifted a strand of Lin Yuan's hair. "I think you seem to be more humane than before. This is really a good thing."

"Really?" Lin Yuan also felt a little happy.

Lin Yuan discovered the fish when he was about to leave.

A bunch of tentacles suddenly stood up and pulled her excitedly, insisting on leading her to a dark corner.

They were so excited and noisy that Lin Yuan couldn't hear clearly what they were saying.

Until she saw the man pinned in the corner by those bastards.

Lin Yuan had fought with Ni Ji before, so she knew how fiercely this sentinel fought.

The numerous mutants could not stop him. On the battlefield, everyone looked at him with awe for the strong.

But here, at this extravagant and decadent banquet, the powerful sentry couldn't even push away a few drunken lechers.

Lin Yuan saw him leaning against the wall, looking like he couldn't even stand steadily. He raised his arms softly, pushed away the hands that were stretched out to him, and said weakly, "Get lost."

The voice was so hoarse and soft that it caused a burst of laughter from those people.

Since Lin Yuan met Ni Ji, he found that this sentry always got himself covered in injuries.

That guy probably has a tendency to be self-destructive, and he always gets himself bruised and battered.

But no matter what the situation was, whether he was dying and being tortured on a rack, or trapped in a devil's den with broken legs, he never showed any mental weakness to the outside world.

When he was wronged and imprisoned, he was quietly plotting revenge in his heart. When he was chased by thousands of monsters, he said to Lin Yuan calmly, "It's okay, I'll be out soon."

This was the first time that Lin Yuan knew that he would show such a fragile look.

In that corner filled with the smell of alcohol and incense, he was wearing bright clothes with two buttons of his shirt torn off. He was not injured and did not bleed a drop of blood, but he looked like a big fish that had been pulled ashore by a hook after leaving the water.

The corners of his eyes were red, he was struggling helplessly, desperate and vulnerable.

Lin Yuan pushed those people aside and walked towards him.

She pushed away those guys who were as disgusting as flies and said, "Go away, this is my man."

Someone shouted at her in dissatisfaction: "Hey, what are you doing!"

But soon, the man looked a little confused and stood still.

It was not until Lin Yuan supported Ni Ji and took him away that those people who were addicted to sensual pleasures came to their senses from their confusion.

What are we doing here?

There seemed to be a beautiful woman just now.

Thinking about it, it doesn't seem to be that important, and it doesn't seem to have much appeal. At this moment, I can't even remember what he or "she" looks like.

This situation is very common. It is not surprising that a brain polluted by alcohol and incense will fall into any state.

Let's go, let's go, stop thinking about it, and find something else to have fun.

They pushed each other and staggered away.

Everyone felt as if their minds were turned into a mess at this moment, with splitting headaches and losing the ability to think seriously.

Even the next day, when they were completely sober, they would not remember this episode clearly.

You won't even remember what the person they cornered you with looks like.

Lin Yuan supported Ni Ji and walked forward.

The weight that Ni Ji was leaning on was getting heavier and heavier, and she could hardly walk at all.

"Hold on a little longer." Lin Yuan said.

The eyes of the people around me began to blur, and the breath they exhaled was frighteningly hot.

Lin Yuan found the nearest empty room and pushed the door open.

In this private courtyard, almost all the rooms are dimly lit and have a soft couch. The cabinets on the wall contain various spices, medicines and some strange props.

This is the "good intention" of the host of the banquet.

No matter how glamorous and polite they are during the day, as the night deepens, the cloth covering their private parts is torn off. The owner's "style" and "character" are exposed in such a decadent and dark night.

She provides all the conveniences for the guests who come here for pleasure, and is extremely considerate. In every room and corner, there are readily available beauty supplies, ensuring that all the real guests who attend the dinner will spend a pleasant and intoxicated night.

Ni Ji fell on the couch in the room. With shaking hands, he pulled open the drawer beside the couch.

With a loud bang, the drawer fell over, and the things inside were scattered all over the floor. Ni Ji reached out and fumbled twice before he found a pair of handcuffs from the pile of horrible things. With a click, he handcuffed his wrists to the iron foot of the couch.

"You..." His voice was terribly hoarse, and he took two breaths before he could finish his words, "You go out first and help me... lock the door."

He felt his will dissipating uncontrollably. He had never lost control of his body and mind like this before.

His strength was draining away like running water. He had lost his power and all control over his body.

He didn't know if he would do something terrible. He was afraid that if he lost control, he would hurt the person next to him.

I was even more afraid that I would reveal some ugly side in front of this person.

I absolutely don't want to look ugly in front of her.

The last thing he wanted was for her to see him in such a shameful state.

Please get out now, please.

He wanted to say so.

But sadly, he found that he could no longer speak normal words.

His mouth opened and closed again, but only a few weak sounds came out of his throat. That voice didn't sound like his own at all, it was terribly soft.

My body felt like it was melting.

The sea in the spiritual picture has become countless ice crystal-like emeralds, which are upside down and surging there.

The chaotic light and rays cut through everything in his body.

His world was in chaos, his spirit was cut into pieces slowly, and his body melted into a pool of water.

Ni Ji felt an incomparable emptiness, and his heart was falling in panic, falling into a bottomless abyss. His body had no strength to support it, and he was forced to spread his limbs and float in the air.

His skin became extremely sensitive, as if something was burning deep inside him. He was powerless to resist, and couldn't even lift a finger.

Ni Ji closed his eyes.

Lin Yuan didn't listen to what Ni Ji said. She locked the door and searched through various bottles and jars in the house. Finally, she found a tester and some medicines.

Fortunately, in addition to some tormenting things, there are also some antidotes here. Probably emergency supplies prepared for accidents.

Lin Yuan held Ni Ji's hand that was hanging on the edge of the couch, lifted it up, and drew a little blood from his finger.

The hand was shaking and the skin was hot, causing shivers wherever it touched.

As soon as he touched him, the sentry's eyelashes trembled and his eyes widened. He stared at the roof with a distracted look and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but only made some meaningless guttural sounds.

That voice was completely different from his usual gentle voice. It was blended into the breath sound in his throat, soft and a little sweet.

Lin Yuan didn't understand what he was saying, and neither did his spirit or body.

The information sent back by the tentacles at this moment is very contradictory and almost chaotic.

He seemed to want to leave very much, but also to want me to get closer.

Lin Yuan had no choice but to ignore him for the time being. He tested the blood components, found the right medicine, and injected an antidote into Ni Ji's vein.

Looking at Ni Ji's condition, he injected the maximum dose.

Lin Yuan waited for a while, and the condition of the sentinel lying there seemed to have improved a little.

His shoulders, which had been shaking constantly, finally relaxed, and his eyes refocused, and he finally seemed to recognize the person.

His hair was matted with sweat, his skin was still hot, and he looked at Lin Yuan with pity.

The drug hadn't worn off completely. Those damned guys had injected him with who knows how many horrible doses.

They hardly care about other people's life or death, and have absolutely no regard for other people's bodies.

Lin Yuan remembered that even when both legs of this sentry were broken, he was able to stand up by leaning against the wall without changing his expression.

He was in so much pain from the backlash of the body, his flesh and bones were torn apart, but he could still lie on the beach and smile at himself.

But now, a small syringe has completely disarmed this powerful sentinel.

He didn't even have the strength to lift a finger, and he looked at himself with a helpless and pitiful look.

Lin Yuan untied the handcuffs that bound him and helped him up. The tentacles came over to help obediently, and no one interfered during the process.

Together, they carried the limp sentry into the bathroom and placed him in the bathtub in the shower room.

In order to prevent him from drowning due to his excessive weakness, Lin Yuan handcuffed one of his arms to the storage rod on the bathroom wall.

She turned on the shower, adjusted the water to cold, and gave a questioning look to the man leaning fragilely against the wall. The man nodded to her with a look of gratitude in his eyes.

The door of the shower room was closed, and the sound of cold water spraying could be heard from inside.

Lin Yuan sat down on the sofa outside. After a while, he came to his senses belatedly.

At this point, the chaos passed and the anger in his heart was finally felt.

As she calmed down, all the scenes that had just happened suddenly became clear in her mind.

A pair of scattered eyes, lips glistening with water, trembling fingertips, hair sticking to the cheeks, and a choked voice.

Looking at yourself helplessly...

Maybe it was because of the incense in this room that was not right. Lin Yuan always felt that every clip was tinged with the smell of candy.

There is sweetness everywhere, which makes people want to taste it.

The tentacles were quieter than ever. Why were these guys, who usually chattered and loved to talk, silent at this moment?

There is always only my own voice in my mind.

That sound is really hard to get used to.

Lin Yuan licked his lips. He felt a little hungry.

It's strange. I ate a lot of cakes and sweets at the banquet. I should be full.

I don't know why, but a desire arises in my heart. I always feel like I'm hungry and want to eat something very sweet.

Jiang Yimei's villa was decorated extremely luxuriously, with every detail being exquisite.

In this small room, everything from lighting to furniture is designed to create a dreamlike environment to the greatest extent possible.

In the small space, there is an antique bed, with silk curtains hanging down. The ceiling is decorated with sparkling crystal pieces, like an inverted water surface, which can clearly reflect the figures below.

What was even more terrifying was that the walls of the shower room were all frosted glass. Lin Yuan only realized now that from where he was sitting, if he turned his head slightly, he could clearly see the silhouette reflected on the bathroom glass.

I don't know why, but deep in my heart, an emotion that I am completely unfamiliar with seems to arise.

It was like anxiety, irritability, and some annoyance. It was too complicated for her to understand.

She only knew that she didn't dare to look back, and she held down all her tentacles tightly, refusing to let them move.

The splashing sound of water lasted for a long time, trying to cover up something.

On the frosted glass, there are meandering water drops, and only a black silhouette can be seen.

The man sat under the flowing water, with one thin arm raised and handcuffed to the wall. He lowered his hair and said nothing. His other hand disappeared...

The sound of water spraying from the shower seems very tempting.

The sweet scent in the room became much stronger.
