Chapter 3 You...have no shame
After the drug was removed, he became complacent and almost forgot that the original owner had promised to send Si Jue to the underground auction house and even bound a space teleportation tool to him.
Lilith's neck was strangled, and after being deprived of air, the suffocating feeling of death followed her like a shadow.
The underground auction house is the dark side of the empire's supervision. All kinds of imaginable and unimaginable transactions can be held there openly. More importantly, once you become an auction item, you will no longer have personal freedom.
Si Jue is the most outstanding freshman in the individual soldier department, and is also the next general candidate favored by Xie Huan. But now, he has been sent to that cannibalistic place by Lilith.
"I knew you weren't that kind-hearted. You were deliberately trying to weaken my guard so you could teleport Si Jue away! How could you be so vicious, Lilith?"
Lilith exerted force with her bony hands. She truly felt the crisis of death. This was not a game where she could be resurrected infinitely. If she died, she would be truly dead. She might not even be able to return to her original world.
"Ahem, let go... I can save you..."
"How long are you going to keep using sweet words? You sent him away and now you say you want to save him. Do you think I will believe you?"
A huge spirit appeared behind Xie Huan, and the ferocious Far Eastern leopard bared its ferocious fangs. For a moment, Lilith could almost feel the scorching airflow spewed out by the beast.
Am I really going to die here?
Just as I was thinking this, a series of beeps came from the light brain on the wrist that was pinching my neck.
Xie Huan groaned and fell backwards, his eyes wide open with a hint of despair and resentment, his spirit body whimpered and curled up weakly.
"If it weren't for the constraints of the imperial laws...if it weren't for the damn contract, I would definitely kill you..."
Lilith leaned on the ground and breathed awkwardly. Her dizzy head finally grasped some knowledge about the background setting.
Because guides are so rare, their protection is very strict. All sentinels' optical brains are equipped with neurotoxins, which will be released once a sentry is detected to be violent towards a guide.
This poison is not fatal, it will only make the sentry lose strength and fall into a coma, leaving him at the mercy of the guide. To remove it, all you need is the corresponding guide element.
"If you kill me, you really won't be able to save your students..."
It was so annoying. Traveling through time was annoying, and saving people was annoying too. Lilith stumbled in front of Xie Huan, and fumbled around his waist with her fingers.
"You...have no sense of shame..."
"Okay, I'm going to go save your students now. You just stay here and wait for me to come back."
Holding the weapon she had taken from Xie Huan, Lilith slapped his face hard. If this damned guy hadn't nearly broken her ribs and nearly suffocated her, she wouldn't have forgotten such an important thing.
She propped herself up against the wall, thought for a moment, and then took advantage of Xie Huan's unconsciousness to stomp on him twice. He was unconscious anyway. The bright sunlight fell on her dazzling golden hair, like broken gold foil.
Xie Huan slowly closed his eyes, and the last image in his vision was the girl's hand caressing his face and a faint fragrance.
…
"serial number?"
"0315."
A hoarse voice came from under the black robe. Thanks to Xie Huan, Lilith could make such an unpleasant sound without deliberately lowering her voice.
The attendant in front of her seemed to mistake her for a short man, and a subtle look of contempt appeared on his slightly charming face.
"Enter on the left."
It was a remote little door, but Lilith didn't care about this frivolous attitude. The most urgent thing was to find Si Jue and rescue him.
Noisy voices came from the huge underground auction hall. Although the auction had not yet begun, there were already performers on the stage.
The coolly dressed person swayed his waist, with furry animal ears on his head and a tail sticking out from his waist.
The audience below whistled, and Lilith walked through the crowd pretending to be calm.
"I didn't expect to see a beast-transformed Sentinel at the auction. Isn't it said that only S-rank Sentinels combined with top-level guides can exhibit the 'atavistic' characteristics?"
"Those are all legends. No one can confirm them now. How could they possibly appear here?"
"It's said these people were abandoned by their guides and sold to an auction house. The owner here then used a special potion to force them to merge with his spirit body, which is why they showed signs of animal transformation. It's a pity, but I heard their lifespan is only two to three years at most."
Sentinels are synonymous with strength. Their attack power far exceeds that of ordinary people. Their fingers can easily break the bones of an adult. Their five senses are so sharp that they can even hear the sound of wind blowing down leaves.
On the other hand, their spirits are always on the verge of collapse. The more powerful the Sentinel, the more likely it is that their spirit will lose control. Only the guide can comfort them.
The guides are the salvation of the sentinels and the locks of the killing weapons. They restrain the sentinels and make the empire forever strong.
Only when the guide and sentinel are absolutely matched can the rare phenomenon of "reversion" occur. The spiritual body and the guide merge to show animal characteristics, and the power will be infinitely amplified.
The people of the empire pursue the appearance of "beastiality", but they know that this is just a delusion that is almost impossible to achieve.
But Lilith knew that with the appearance of the heroine, all the impossible became possible. As an S-level guide, the heroine could match with any sentinel and stimulate the power of their spiritual bodies, making the sentinels more powerful.
What a powerful golden finger! Unlike her, she is a spy, a fake daughter, and a D-level guide. She is simply a loser among losers, a rookie among rookies...
Lilith opened the light brain again and checked the floor plan she had drawn. Although she had many complaints about the plot, she loved exploring the game.
The underground auction house is the scene where the heroine appears on stage, and naturally she has explored it countless times. She has already memorized the floor plan by heart. Only with the heroine's "number" and map can she enter this heavily guarded place.
In short, she had to sneak to the holding room where the auction items were "stored". The underground floor was the main venue for the auction, and the map showed that Si Jue was being held in the innermost room of the second underground floor. In between, she had to pass through many lounges for "distinguished guests".
Lilith ran through several corridors in a panic, keeping her sight blind, and steadied herself against the wall to calm her rapid breathing.
Suddenly, a voice came from the corner.
"Someone's breaking in, everyone, be careful!"
At the same time, there were chaotic running sounds. Lilith's heart tightened, and she immediately opened the door next to her and hid inside. What she saw was a rack full of whips, candles, and ropes, and a tall man who was watching her warily.
Damn it, it was her third husband - Fu Sui.
