Chapter 36 First Guidance
The soft, warm touch against his forehead made him even more unsettled.
Xie Tu leaned against the door, looking down at her with his bloodshot eyes.
Previously, the guides at the base needed a quiet, soft, and well-lit environment before conducting psychological counseling.
Avoid stimulating the sentry due to external factors.
It's not safe here.
Is she ignorant, or disdainful?
Xie Tu chose to believe her and stopped resisting, saying only, "There's no time to do anything, there's no need to establish a mental connection."
Mental intervention is divided into an outer layer and an inner layer. The outer layer only performs simple cleansing and cannot establish a mental connection to enter the sentinel's mental domain.
He's in a terrible state right now and definitely needs guidance, otherwise he could easily be affected again.
However, clearing away dark matter in the spiritual realm would take too long.
They need to find other teammates as soon as possible.
The rabbit may be in danger now.
I can't wait.
"Okay," Yun Zhao agreed.
She slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to manipulate the spiritual threads, gradually moving closer to Xie Tu and then entering his body.
This is different from directing lower-ranking sentries.
Xie Tu is an S-class Sentinel.
His mental core is exceptionally strong; entering rashly will only provoke his resistance, or even subconscious attacks.
Therefore, her movements were slow, her spirit tentatively approaching.
Xie Tu did not resist her intrusion, but his hands hanging by his sides suddenly clenched, as if he was trying his best to restrain himself.
Since the guide arrived at Dawn Base, he had clearly realized that any resistance would be futile.
She will affect herself.
Manic, violent, and dark emotions surged forth like a tidal wave.
Even though he hadn't entered the spiritual realm, Yun Zhao seemed to sense the fire phoenix's elation.
It is helping her pry open the core of her being's spirit.
Yun Zhao: "..." Fortunately, her little bluebird wouldn't betray her.
She confidently continued to release her spiritual threads, beginning to purify all the visible dark matter on the surface.
Unable to defy its host, the little bluebird reluctantly waved its fluorescent light, performing cleaning work for the sentinel it disliked.
There were so many, a dense, dark mass, with countless thin black lines tangled together.
There were more sentries than ever before who had conducted evacuation and clearing operations.
This is only the core of his mental state.
The fire phoenix, residing in the spiritual realm, once again felt that comfortable sensation and greeted the blue luan with delight.
But the little bluebird arrogantly ignored it.
[A guy whose mind is full of black lines.]
The cleanup process went extremely smoothly.
Xie Tu kept his head down and did not resist at all. With the guide's help, he gradually relaxed his tense muscles.
The spiritual thread was calming his agitation, capturing some of his current emotions: submission, and... resignation?
The legendary S-class Sentinels seemed to become exceptionally docile in her presence.
Sentinels, such sensitive and volatile creatures, are perfect for being controlled.
The thought flashed through my mind.
Yun Zhao himself was very surprised when he realized what had happened.
Why would she have such a thought?
Every second of the process was agonizing for Xie Tu.
He could sense all the movement trajectories of the mental threads after they entered the mental core.
A gentle, cool warmth flowed into his mind, and he experienced a long-lost peace. However, because Huo Feng obeyed her every word, another kind of restlessness arose in his heart.
Seeing that the dark matter on the core had been cleared away, he prepared to disconnect the connection before the guide noticed.
Don't move.
A voice echoed in his mind.
That was the guide's ability to empathize; she was using that ability to convey her message to him.
The gatekeeper seems to be watching me the whole time.
Taking advantage of the moment, Yun Zhao told him what had happened after she came in.
This includes the mutant that impersonated her uncle, and the dark matter that had been attacking her.
She knew too little about the contaminated area and wanted to ask Xie Tu, who had extensive experience.
How can I lure it out and kill it?
Xie Tu slowly opened his eyes and said directly, "Secret conversations are useless."
"In this realm, the gatekeeper is the master, all-powerful, and capable of sensing everything."
Yun Zhao was shocked: "It can hear me even though it can't break through my mental barrier?"
Xie Tu took the opportunity to subtly distance himself from her by two steps, and fearing that the scene might change again, he reached out and grabbed the strap of her dangling backpack.
He had just asked, "What does this eerie contaminated area remind you of?"
Yun Zhao didn't understand what it meant.
"Doesn't it resemble a spiritual realm?"
Xie Tu turned his head to look at her, "In your mental world, you can control everything and freely build the world you want. When there's any disturbance inside, can it be hidden from you?"
Yun Zhao didn't notice his subtle movements. Upon hearing this news, his expression faltered slightly, and he murmured, "You mean, the contaminated area is actually a spiritual realm?"
Xie Tu hummed in agreement. "This viewpoint was proposed decades ago by a researcher at the Hope Base."
The researcher's surname was Qi, and his theory was accepted by many people.
Especially sentries who have entered contaminated areas.
The more people thought about it, the more they realized it was true.
It can be said that the polluted area is the spiritual realm of the gatekeeper.
Once you step into its absolute territory, nothing you do can hide from it except by killing it or obtaining the key according to the rules to leave.
Perhaps it is because of this ability that the two special classes, Sentinels and Guides, were created.
But Yun Zhao is an exception.
Her mental strength was so powerful that it was just enough to restrain the gatekeeper of Zone 88.
The fact that the gatekeeper couldn't break through her barrier doesn't mean he was unaware of her actions.
Yun Zhao suddenly understood; so that's how it is.
Xie Tu knew that she had only been at the base for a short time and had not received any training, so he explained to her, "Discovering the gatekeeper was a coincidence."
Sixtieth year since the dark apocalypse began.
With the emergence of a new contaminated area, the 316 underground shelter, where the area is located, has fallen.
There is a father and daughter who depend on each other for survival. The daughter was initially transformed into a mutant, while the father survived.
The father was devastated by the loss of his daughter.
After hiding in the contaminated area for a period of time, he was heartbroken. It happened to be his daughter's birthday that day, so the father disregarded the danger and ran home, intending to deal with his daughter's belongings before committing suicide.
Because before that.
No one can leave the contaminated area alive.
The father returned to his home and, according to local custom, burned all of his daughter's favorite toys for her.
Little did they know, the 'gatekeeper' was among them.
As he threw the tattered rag doll into the fire pit, the entire scene within the contaminated area became distorted, the surrounding vertical buildings bent, and the houses swayed like waves.
According to the father, he heard his daughter calling him again and again, "Daddy, it hurts so much, please take me out..."
"It's not my daughter! It's a monster!"
Despite loving his child dearly, the father knew perfectly well that the one calling out to him was not his daughter.
The scene inside the contaminated area shook even more violently.
As the flames slowly consumed the doll, the entire domain shattered.
The contaminated zone No. 316 collapsed completely before his eyes.
since then.
Only then did the world learn that polluted areas could be eliminated!
"This major discovery sparked a counterattack by humanity, but it failed to uncover the truth behind the disaster and still could not eliminate all the contaminated areas."
Xie Tu's gaze deepened as he thought about the mission. "Jiang Mu's team has one S-level Sentinel and five A-level Sentinels. They are very strong. It's impossible for them to be wiped out by simple illusions alone."
Why are they still trapped inside?
Perhaps there is another reason.
They couldn't find the key to get out...
