Chapter 132 Spiritual Union
While inside the noise-canceling room, it felt like only ten minutes had passed, but when I came out, I realized that four hours had already gone by.
Xie Tu took Yun Zhao home.
The atmosphere was somber.
The two didn't exchange a single word the entire way.
Even when Yun Zhao got out of the car, he didn't say goodbye as usual.
Xie Tu sat in the car, his hands gripping the steering wheel suddenly tightening, an urge to get out and chase after them suddenly rising.
He forced himself to hold back and watched her slowly ascend the stone steps and enter the residential area.
The mental realms that just intertwined...
Xie Tu closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down. He needed to sort out his thoughts first.
What is he really thinking deep down?
*
Yun Zhao entered the elevator, still reminiscing about the wonderful experience he had just had.
She couldn't describe the feeling, but she definitely felt pleasure and comfort.
Even when we parted, I felt a strong sense of unease.
I just... really hate to part with it.
She couldn't understand what had happened.
Since visiting the counseling room that day, Xie Tu has specially found many video explanations about guides for her to help her understand the capabilities of guides.
However, none of the cases about the guides' healing incidents discussed in the training course involved the situation described above.
She didn't even find a single one that looked similar.
Yun Zhao opened the door, walked straight into the living room, and lay flat on the sofa, burying his head in it.
She didn't know who to turn to.
If anyone in the base could answer her question, it would be the well-informed Minister Bai.
But...should we really tell anyone?
She caught Xie Tu's emotions, the overwhelming, indescribable emotions that welled up in that moment of spiritual connection.
Yun Zhao was somewhat confused.
She instinctively felt that those emotions were directed at her, but she didn't know how to deal with them.
She had never encountered anything like this before.
This is truly distressing.
Forget it, I'd better not say anything more.
The culprit—the little bluebird—shaked its feathers, pretended nothing had happened, and flew to the shelf, hopping around...
*
Xie Tu didn't go back, but drove straight to the inner city.
His thoughts were the same as Yun Zhao's.
I want to find out exactly what happened back then.
He was exhausted, not physically, but mentally.
But if he doesn't figure out the reason, he will most likely continue to have trouble sleeping.
This concerns Yun Zhao's abilities.
If even she herself cannot control her own power, how can one not worry?
Xie Tu often came to the operations department late at night. The sentries on duty at the door were already used to it and watched him enter the elevator and go into Minister Duan's office.
As one of the base's top leaders, Minister Duan's computer had access to view all classified files within the base.
Xie Tu turned on his computer, skillfully entered the password, and began searching for relevant information about the guide since records began.
Some top-secret documents will not be released to the public.
He searched from midnight until dawn.
Seven o'clock in the morning.
Minister Duan walked into the office and saw Xie Tu sitting in her seat. She frowned slightly. "What are you looking for in my office in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
Clearly, Minister Duan learned the news from the soldiers on duty downstairs.
Xie Tu's finger didn't stop moving the mouse; he opened each folder carefully and replied calmly, "Looking for some information."
"Of course I know it's information. I asked you what information you were looking for?"
Minister Duan was speechless. "You're just flipping through things haphazardly. Don't you have a mouth and know to ask questions?"
Xie Tu stared straight at the computer screen, his tone indifferent: "It's nothing."
Minister Duan wanted to beat someone up.
"Get out of my way and stop disturbing my work!"
Xie Tu's searching motions suddenly stopped, his dark eyes staring at the screen becoming deep and unfathomable.
Searching keywords was useless, searching the spiritual realm was useless, it turns out...
—A spiritual union.
Data shows:
The combination of sentry and guide can be divided into two types.
Physical union and spiritual union.
When the compatibility exceeds 95%, both partners are able to enter each other's mental realm.
During this process, consciousness gradually merges, creating a resonance akin to the fusion of souls, allowing them to feel each other's deepest emotions and thoughts.
It can see into a partner's heart, ignite passion, and help both parties become more integrated.
So, once the passion for union is ignited, what comes next is physical union?
Xie Tu: "..."
"Combination heat?" Xie Tu concealed his inner turmoil and asked calmly, "Why is this kind of information classified as top secret?"
Minister Duan, unaware of anything amiss, walked over and glanced at it. “A spiritual union means that both parties will open their spiritual realms to each other without reservation, which involves their most private emotions, memories, and subconscious.”
"There are many reasons for not disclosing this information, including issues such as the allocation of relevant resources."
"Many sentries hold important positions in various bases to prevent the leakage of top-secret information and the incalculable harm to society."
Minister Duan said, "Most importantly, such a high degree of matching is extremely rare, and the Special Abilities Research Institute is still in the exploratory stage of its research in this area."
"Premature or inappropriate disclosure may cause panic and misleading information."
Once sentinels and guides begin to pursue high compatibility and spiritual connection, the ecology of the entire sentinel-guide group will undergo tremendous changes.
Being overly fixated on the level of compatibility may cause Sentinels and Guides to overlook other equally important relationship factors.
Such as personality compatibility, shared values, mutual support, and trust.
They tend to focus too much energy on finding someone who is a perfect match for them, neglecting their own personal growth.
This is detrimental to both the base and the individual sentries and guides.
Xie Tu feigned composure and replied, "Hmm."
Minister Duan pointed to the files on the computer, "Is this what you're looking for?"
"No." Xie Tu quickly closed the file and randomly opened a document. "It's this one, I've found it."
Before Minister Duan could see clearly, he suddenly stood up, blocked the screen, and exited the file system.
"I have to go now."
Minister Duan stared at his departing figure, then turned and glanced thoughtfully at the computer.
The researchers from the Special Abilities Research Institute spent their days running around Jiang's office trying to intercept him.
A few days ago.
Dean Jiang came to her with a distressed expression, requesting that tests be conducted on the two S-level mental entities.
Minister Duan, knowing that Yun Zhao needed training, tactfully offered an excuse: "Next time, for sure."
Perhaps, we could let the two of them give it a try.
Unfortunately, I have to go on a mission tomorrow, so I'll have to wait until next time.
...
Xie Tu walked out of the office with a tense face and was greeted by several familiar staff members.
He nodded without changing his expression.
No one noticed anything unusual.
Xie Tu quickly went downstairs and only relaxed after getting back into the armored vehicle.
When has he ever been so flustered?
If the little bluebird hadn't interrupted the mental connection last night, the combined heat would have occurred without either of them knowing...
The consequences would be unimaginable.
Should we tell her?
But how should he bring it up?
Xie Tu remembered her saying "Let's do it again," and what did he say in response?
He leaned his whole body backward suddenly and raised his arm to cover his face.
