Why Are Sentinels So Sick?

[Xia Meng × Li Zhou][A sassy and cool female guide who appears calm and collected but is actually a gambler × A strong, handsome, and tragic male sentinel who appears cheerful but is actually just as crazy]Xia Meng was an intern psychiatrist. One day, she suddenly awakened as a Guide. The day after her awakening, the mysterious Sentinel and Guide organization, "Black Tower," came knocking, inviting her to work there. The new job offered good pay, light work, and was close to home. She could drink tea, read newspapers, and collect bonuses. Hesitating even for a second would be disrespectful to such a golden opportunity.

She never expected that from then on, the patients she encountered would be stranger than the last. At first glance, they seemed healthy, lively, enthusiastic, and friendly, but after interacting with them, she realized each one was suffering from a critical, incurable illness.

The Black Tower explained, "A sentinel's mental landscape, on the verge of berserk, is like a field filled with countless 'landmines' – chaotic, bizarre, and fraught with danger. We need your mental power to enter their world, traverse through the strange and ever-changing minefield, and bring them back safely."

Xia Meng protested, "Do you perhaps misunderstand me? I'm just an ordinary psychologist!" The Black Tower countered, "? Do you perhaps misunderstand yourself?"

Subsequently, syndromes like Survivor's Syndrome, Stockholm Syndrome, Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, Time-Lost Syndrome, Cotard's Syndrome... one after another, these insane worlds came pouring in. Other doctors use medicine and surgery to heal and save lives, bringing people back from the brink; as a doctor, she carries guns, wields knives, engages in intrigue, and barely escapes death... Every time she goes on a mission, she's both going crazy and saving lives.

Xia Meng exclaimed, "?? Wait! This isn't what we agreed upon!" The Black Tower suggested, "Perhaps you should first ask yourself why, instead of being a perfectly good psychologist, you insist on becoming a psychiatric patient?" Xia Meng replied, "...Because if I can't beat them, I might as well join them!"

—Don't come near me, don't stare at me, don't be curious about me. —You don't know that you are gazing into the abyss. This is a story about the mad saving themselves. Key point: Everyone in this novel has a beautiful mental state, everyone is sick.
