It sounds like it's easy to understand something, but Si Nian doesn't know much about this place, and the phantom just now disappeared quickly after a flash, so Si Nian can't do anything even if he wants to start from this aspect.

Now, there are only two roads in front of Si Nian.

Find someone to ask, or wait for the phantom to appear.

Si Nian wanted to ask Wuhua or others for help, but he still didn't know what that phantom was, so how could he ask others?

Do you tell them, "I just saw a white shadow, and what can be turned into a white shadow here?"

Si Nian couldn't, so he could only symbolically inquire about what might be the phantom, and then spend his free time in that small corner of the courtyard.

As a result, the people in the small courtyard can always see Si Nian in a daze in the courtyard recently.

At the beginning, other people would come over to ask, but seeing that Si Nian looked like he wanted to say but didn't know how to speak, he didn't ask more.

Due to concentrating on one direction for a long time, Si Nian even felt a little dizzy. He shook his head, his eyes closed a little dazed.

"It's not the way to go." Si Nian thought about it, but he couldn't find a better way than that.

Since he got the contract, he has received a total of two tasks, the first one is to ask him to join the team, and the other is the current one.

Both missions are called main quests, and if he understands correctly, then there should be a kind of "side quest".

When playing the game, the main quest is usually more important and plays a role in driving the story, and judging by the rewards he gets, this is indeed confirmed.

However, when the contract was first opened, the key issue of "punishment" was mentioned. Does it mean that the greater the reward, the more terrifying the corresponding punishment?

This is also the reason why Si Nian is already dizzy but still insists on standing in this corner.

He couldn't take that risk!

Fortunately, on the fourth day, the phantom appeared again.

This time, the phantom appeared for a longer period of time and the form was clearer.

It was a white animal that looked somewhat similar to a kitten.

It stretched lazily, and then looked at Si Nian.

It seemed to be looking at Si Nian, this kind of gaze was too detailed and focused, giving Si Nian the illusion that he was being targeted by a fierce beast.

The other party is clearly a little guy, how can it be a beast?

Si Nian comforted himself.

The little white milk cat saw Si Nian from head to foot, and from foot to head, and when it met Si Nian's eyes for the second time, an extremely humane puzzled gaze was revealed from its eyes.

It tilted its head, as if thinking about something, and suddenly, its already round eyes widened, as if it had discovered some terrifying secret.

Si Nian was surprised to see an expression similar to "frightened" from this "cat face", and this fright seemed to be mixed with some inexplicable doubts.

The little guy's already unsturdy figure became more blurry because of this sudden situation, and it didn't take long for it to completely dissipate, just like the last time.

Si Nian called eagerly: "Little guy? Kittens? White Meow Meow ......"

But no matter what nickname he shouted, he didn't get the slightest response.

Si Nian stood disappointed for a moment, and finally determined that the other party would not appear again today, so he left there full of loneliness.

At this time, at the window on the second floor, Louis was looking at his back as he left with a black line on his face.

In fact, the little guy that Si Nian saw just now was his spiritual guide, Bai.

Bai is not a docile cat, it is actually a tiger, but because it is too small and a phantom, this makes Si Nian mistakenly think it is a little white cat.

"So, he just found you?" Louis said as if talking to himself.

After a moment, he seemed to be sure of the answer, and he smiled a rather smug and mysterious smile.

Si Nian's loss lasted until the next day, so much so that when Louis called him to help, he could still feel a strong sense of grief from him.

Louis felt a little funny, although Si Nian looked noble and cold, but after contact, it was unexpectedly easy to understand.

It was as if now, Si Nian was still wearing his coffin face, but Louis could feel the heaviness in his heart from his slow, heavy steps and slightly dull eyes.

Until now, he didn't understand why Si Nian valued his Spiritual Guide Bai so much. Of course, he was more interested in why Si Nian was able to see his spirit guide.

The reason why they are called spiritual guides is because they have a certain guiding role, and the other meaning is relatively simple and easy to understand, because they come from the spiritual level.

The spiritual level is always a complex and magical place for human beings, and people have long been aware of the influence of spiritual power on themselves and even external objects, but they have never been able to fully understand its operation mode and working principle, let alone see its essence.

As a kind of spiritual power, the spirit guide naturally has this special system.

Generally speaking, the spirit guide is invisible, but there are two exceptions.

One is that the host's spiritual power is strong enough, so that the spiritual guide is also more condensed, as long as the opponent's spiritual power is enough, it is possible to see this spiritual guide.

The other has nothing to do with whether they are strong or not, but only the fit of the two people.

The higher the fit, the more tangible the spirit guide will be. It's just that even many partners who have a tacit understanding may not be able to do this.

Louis's mental power is not very strong, after all, no matter how talented he is, he is only an eight-year-old child, in other words, the reason why Si Nian can see his spiritual guide is because the other party is compatible with him enough?!

The thought of this possibility made Louis feel more and more happy.

He brought Si Nian here, naturally, to confirm whether this guess was correct.

Si Nian didn't know anything about this, and he was immersed in the worry that the task would not be completed.

However, the moment he pushed open the door of Louis's room, the white kitten he had been looking for for a long time appeared in front of him.

"White meow!" Probably because he was too surprised, Si Nian couldn't help but call out the nickname he gave the other party.

Hearing this name, Louis's legs, which had already moved in this direction, froze in place, and Bai actually showed a stiff expression very humanely.

Louis is worthy of being the leader at a young age, and he quickly sorted out his feelings and showed a sweet smile to Si Nian.

"This is Shiro, my spirit guide, and you were the first to see him." Louis said and beckoned to Bai, who jumped up to Louis and sat down.

Si Nian's attention was successfully shifted to Louis, and he asked, "What is a spirit guide?" ”

Louis wasn't too surprised that he asked this question, judging from his observations these days, Si Nian's understanding of this world was very shallow, as if the other party was not from a prosperous planet like the imperial capital at all, but from some horn.

However, is this kind of bearing really cultivated by that kind of third-rate gathering star?

Louis put away his scattered thoughts and explained: "Since the advent of the interstellar age, the constitution of human beings has changed dramatically. Presumably due to cosmic radiation, a small percentage of humans have evolved into sentinels with particularly sensitive senses, and a small percentage of humans have evolved into guides who can match sentinels.

"Whether it is a sentinel or a guide, they both have extremely powerful spiritual power, and because of some special system, this spiritual power can be transformed into a spiritual guide that reflects the character of the master. I awakened to become a sentinel when I was three years old, and what you just saw was my spirit guide, Shiro.

"Not everyone can see the spirit guide, and if my estimate is correct, the reason why you can see white is because the compatibility between us is extremely high, maybe even 100 percent."

"Fit...... One hundred percent? Si Nian repeated suspiciously, he always felt that he had heard "sentinel" and "guide" somewhere, but when he thought about it, he couldn't remember when he heard it.

However, this time the task has finally been settled, after all, the contract and fit required by the task obviously have a certain relationship, which should be the key to completing the task.

"Yes, fit is about the combination of Sentinel and Guide. Not all Sentinel Guides are randomly matched. Sentinels are always in a state of tension because their senses are too sensitive, and if they can't be dredged by a matching guide, they will have disorders, and the strictest ones may have mental riots or even lose themselves. At this time, it is especially important to find a guide with a good fit. However, because of this, coupled with the scarcity of the guide itself, the guide has become the object of competition for powerful sentinels. Many guides are not content to be 'commodities' to be picked from, preferring to hide and become wild guides rather than register with the Empire. However, most of these guides will be discovered, and then usher in a more tragic fate, and some of them, although they are very hidden and cannot be discovered, will go crazy because they cannot bear the pain caused by the combined heat, and only a few will be able to die smoothly......"

Louis paused here and added, "Very little. ”

Si Nian finally knew why he felt familiar, wasn't this the setting in a novel he had strayed into?

This novel was recommended to him by his cousin, but he had to reluctantly read a few chapters, and the content of these chapters almost subverted his perception of the world.

This book was naturally shelved in the end, but probably because the impact was too great at the beginning, Si Nian never forgot about it.

Now, this setting that challenges his worldview has reappeared, and the tip of the iceberg has been revealed in a more profound way. Si Nian took a deep breath and barely calmed down.

"Wait, you just said that you 'awakened to sentinel when you were three years old', and I have a perfect fit with you? So, in other words, I'm a guide?! ”

Louis smiled and nodded, approving his ability to understand.

However, with the completion of Louis's action, Si Nian felt as if he felt the malice from the whole world.

Deep malice!
