Chapter 132: Sentinel & Guide
readx;
When Shang Ke received the task, a whistle hospital in the high district had already been isolated. Pen ร fun ร Pavilion www. ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ ใ infoJust a few days ago, a mentally abnormal sentry was admitted to the hospital, and the hospital sent a guide to treat him as usual, but this guide also fell into the same mental state as the sentry during the treatment
The guide is mentally stable and rarely becomes mentally lost. Only the combined sentinels and guides will enter perceptual synchronization because of mental resonance. But the Guide and Sentinel are not companions, and the chances of a mental resonance are too low.
After the hospital failed to test the sentry, a second guide was sent to treat the sentry, and the same thing happened again. What's even more worrying is that in the next few days, the hospital received several sentries with similar symptoms, who were not only unable to receive treatment from the guide, but also caused great mental damage to the guide. All guides who have treated these sentinels will have their mental power reduced to their initial state after regaining their sanity, almost indistinguishable from ordinary people.
Sentinels and guides are complementary beings, and if the sentinels can no longer be assisted by guides, or even cause them serious damage, then the interdependence between the two will be completely shattered, and the power structure of the tower country will also completely collapse.
This incident quickly alarmed the upper echelons of Tajikistan, who suspended all mental assistance from the guides to the sentinels, concentrated all the sentinels who were ill in the sentinel hospital, and then sealed off martial law to the outside world.
When Ionis led Shang Ke to the council chamber on the top floor of the hospital, there were already many sentinels and guides gathered here, and they greeted him with a salute and a curious gaze at Shang Ke beside him.
"How's it going?" Ionis' gaze lingered on Michelle for a moment, then at the dean.
"We have repeatedly tested the mental state of these sentinels, and according to the frequency of fluctuations, their spirits are in a chaotic state of dissociation, which is what we often call fugue."
Fugue is a condition in which sentinels fall into a state of confusion due to the lack of a guide to guide them for a long time.
The Dean continued, "But unlike ordinary fugue, this 'fugue' is extremely unstable, and the patient is like having a nightmare, and the mental power will change with the change of the nightmare, which also makes it difficult for the guides to establish a spiritual connection with them, and they are brought into the fugue instead. โ
The leader of the Guide Guild said, "This kind of fugue is definitely caused by external factors, and the self-derived fugue of the sentinels will not be out of the guide's control. โ
"External factors?" Aionis said with a calm expression, "Sentinels have strong immunity, what kind of external factors can induce fugue syndrome?" โ
"It's also a question that we can't figure out." The dean replied, "The sentinels were fine until then, they hadn't fought with anyone, and they hadn't eaten food that didn't meet the sentinel's standards. โ
"Time is pressing, we must find a cure as soon as possible, and if the Sentinel fugue is more than a month, I'm afraid there will be nothing we can do." The leader of the Guide Guild reminded.
"The best way to diagnose it is to rely on the spiritual detection of the guide." The dean sighed, "But we don't dare to let the guide risk anymore." "There have been two guides who have suffered mental deterioration as a result of the treatment, and this regression may be permanent.
Everyone knows the dangers involved, and no guide wants to put his future to the test of an uncertain guess.
The conference hall fell silent and the scene was deadlocked.
When Shang Ke heard the words "fugue", his heart moved slightly, and he felt as if he had seen it somewhere? A quick search of Sido's memories finally found the information he was looking for.
One of the weapons developed by the anti-political coalition against the sentinels happened to involve fugue disease, but Sido had no interest in biochemical pharmacology, so he took a cursory look at it and sealed the data again. Although he hadn't seen them all, he vaguely remembered the names of two of the drugs.
If this fugue is really a conspiracy of the anti-political alliance, then it means that the drug they developed to induce fugue has been successful, and I am afraid that more sentinels will be attacked in the future
ใ Shang Ke remembered the three dark sentinels he had treated not long ago, and the symptoms were similar to those of these people, but he had not suffered any mental damage at that time. Now, it may have been just their experimentation.
It was imperative to determine whether the Sentinel's fugue was really drug-induced. But the dean just said that there is no problem with the food, there are no injuries on the body, and if there is any drug residue in the body, it should not be hidden from the doctor's examination. Unless...... Unless the drug is gaseous or sonic in the form of a sentry, the sentinel's spirit is stimulated by smell and hearing.
"I think I can let Shang Ke guide try it." While he was thinking, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the conference hall.
Shang Ke looked up, and the speaker was a young man of twenty-four or five, with a handsome appearance and a bit of arrogance between his eyebrows, who should also be a guide.
He stared at Shang Ke and said slowly, "The Dark Sentinel has strong mental power, and only one of the seven patients is currently a Dark Sentinel. With the special attributes and S-level spiritual power that can still be guided, you may be able to find out the symptoms smoothly. โ
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were on Shang Ke.
Yaonis said coldly: "Shang Ke is the only dark guide in the Tower Country, if something happens, Lu Sien, I wonder if you can withstand the wrath of all the dark sentinels?" โ
Lu Sien is also an S-class guide, and is highly respected in the Tower Country, but for the dark sentinels, Shang Ke is unique.
As soon as Yaonis's words fell, several dark sentinels in the conference hall really cast unkind glances at Lu Sien: There are many of you, why don't you go? Our dark sentinels finally have an exclusive guide, and you still don't let it go!
"Oh, sorry, I almost forgot." Lu Sien sneered slightly, "Your Excellency Shang Ke is a valuable national property, and not everyone can touch it. โ
The other guides also had mocking expressions on their faces, unabashedly expressing their displeasure with Shang Ke.
Aionis's eyes swept away, and the guides looked away, not daring to look at him.
Lu Sien had no scruples, and continued: "Lord Ionis, if I am not mistaken, you and Shang Ke are not in a partnership and have no right to make any decisions for him. Whether he agrees with this proposal or not should be up to him. โ
This sentence is simply a blow to the heart of Ionis, and the inability to bind identity means that ownership cannot be established. Anyone can use this reason to isolate him from Shang Ke.
"Your Excellency Lus, although I am not registered with Ionis, he is the only companion I have identified." Shang Ke shook Yaonis' hand and said with a smile, "He has the right to refuse any unreasonable request for me. โ
Yaonis's heart warmed, and he shook Shang Ke's hand tightly. This is the first time that Shang Ke has admitted that he is his partner, and he is "the only one"!
Michelle glanced up at them.
Lu Sien said coldly: "So, are you not going to go and see the situation of that dark sentinel?" โ
See what's going on? That's an understatement. Is this "situation" something that can be seen casually? Aionis snorted coldly.
"Not really." But I heard Shang Ke say, "I can try." โ
What the? Aionis jerked his head. Just now he said that he had the right to refuse any unreasonable demands for him, why did he change his mind in the blink of an eye?
Shang Ke seemed to guess what he was thinking, and replied, "Yaonis, this is not an unreasonable request, I think I should try."
ใ โ
Aionis frowned at him.
Shang Ke said again: "Believe me, I am sure that I will agree." โ
Grasp? Even if he was 99% sure, he wouldn't dare to take the 1% risk! Yaonis grimaced and silent.
"Ionis, since Shang Ke is willing to give it a try, will you agree?" The dean said loudly, "It's just a mental probe, and if you find something wrong, you can evacuate at any time." โ
If it's that simple, why don't other guides try it? Ionis knew the Dean's mind very well, didn't he just want to see the power of the Dark Guide with his own eyes?
Not only him, but also the president of the Guide Guild were very interested in this, so they spoke out one after another.
Yaonis didn't care what other people thought, but Shang Ke insisted on trying, and he finally relented, and there was only one request, he had to protect him.
The dean was very confident in the strength of Yaonis, and readily agreed.
The two of them prepared for a moment, and then went to the ward where the dark sentinel was, while the others watched from outside the surveillance.
Shang Ke looked at the sentry on the bed, and saw that his expression was sometimes painful, sometimes frightened, and the whole person was in a state of high tension.
The guide's spiritual assistance to the sentinel mainly includes six aspects.
1. Psychic Detection - A rough scan of the sentry's mental state.
2. Spiritual counseling -- dredging and guiding the disordered mental force.
3. Spiritual Pacification -- Calming the out-of-control emotions under the sentinel's mental โกโก.
4. Psychiatric treatment - repairing mental damage.
Fifth, the spiritual barrier - isolate the stimuli that affect the voice, smell and other stimuli of the sentinel.
Sixth, spiritual resonance - after the combination of sentinels and guides, the spiritual power is in the same frequency state, which will produce powerful attack and defense power.
What Shang Ke wants to do with this dark sentinel is the most basic first step - psychic detection. But before that, he had built a spiritual barrier for him and Yaonis, blocking out any element that might pose danger.
"Huh? Why didn't we think about building a spiritual barrier first! The dean's eyes lit up outside the surveillance.
Generally speaking, after the guide detects, they will make an accurate judgment about the situation of the sentry, and then start to carry out mental support, and few guides will build a mental barrier first, because that will reduce the efficiency of the support.
But Shang Ke's approach at this moment is obviously the safest.
"His mental barrier is so beautiful." A dark sentry couldn't help but admire. Although most people can't see mental power with the naked eye, the device can visualize mental power. The spiritual barriers are all reticulated, and the gaps in the nets are large and small, and the smaller the gaps, the stronger the spiritual power.
Shang Ke's spiritual barrier was fine and even, and it was integrated with the spiritual power of the two dark sentinels in the room, flashing with a light blue light, as if he was in the ocean.
It is worthy of being the exclusive guide of the dark sentinels, and the fit is indeed high.
