【Ruijin】Eye of the Storm

Chapter 13

The first second he heard the word from Gray's mouth, Jin was obviously taken aback.When he realized what Ge Rui said, he immediately raised his hand to cover the other's mouth.

"...what's the matter!" Jin blushed and shouted in a low voice, and quickly glanced at the door of the ward, "Don't talk about this kind of topic in the ward of the convalescent department, Grey!"

Gray frowned and wanted to pull him away from the hand that was covering him. Unexpectedly, Jin was completely immersed in his own thoughts and muttered to himself on the hospital bed: "Although I don't mean to disagree. ...! But, again, it's not that there's no use after that—uh—isn't it still useless? So doing that kind of thing will definitely not solve the problem...?!"

Gray closed his eyes, and pulled the guide's wrist with a little force to make him withdraw. "It's not what you thought..." Gray put his hand down and patted Jin's side suggestively with a blank face, "...that's what it means." He said.

"—I mean spiritual."

"Someone gave me similar advice before," the silver-haired sentinel whispered, "By re-imagining the mental picture, repair the chain of bonding between you and me, so as to stimulate the reawakening of your guiding power."

"But this method has a high risk, and you were in a bad state at that time, so I refused." Gray stood up, let Jin Ping lie back on the bed, and tucked the corner of the quilt for him.

"What kind of risk?" King asked curiously.

Gray glanced at him: "Either it succeeds, or the combination collapses on the spot, and both the sentinel and the guide will be dragged into the 'black hole'."

"...so serious..." Jin opened his mouth in shock, he thought for a while, and said softly: "However, after returning from the suburbs, I seem to be a little different."

The blond young guide looked sideways at his hands on the side of the bed: "When I saw Lie Zhan and Vector again, and desperately thought that I must immediately rescue Gray from that room, the strength seemed to come naturally. Use it. If you try that method in this state, will the success rate increase?"

Gray looked away, looked at the basket of fruit delivered by Zitang Huan on the bedside and said, "Even so, this method is still very dangerous."

"But since Gray has come to discuss with me, that means you want to try it too." Jin stared at his sentinel confidently.

Gray turned his head, gently brushed aside a strand of bangs in front of his forehead and pinned it behind his ear, and said softly in his usual indifferent tone: "You don't have to ask me. Between the sentinel and the guide, the one who has the final decision is always guide."

"I'm your sentinel, Kim." He added the word emphatically.

In Jin's memory, Gray rarely said such words.They had grown up together, and Kim felt that he had always played a protective role in the relationship, whether it was due to the habits of Sentinel's personality or Gray's personal temper.He used to feel very dissatisfied, but Gray felt that it should be taken for granted, so the two of them during the running-in period also experienced very violent quarrels, and even fought.

Human growth does not happen overnight. Time pushes children forward, and they gradually become mature adults.After experiencing many things, he finally realized that being protected does not mean weak.Anyone can pretend that they are invincible, but not everyone has the courage to give the softest part under the armor to another person without reservation.

Such luck is rare, Jin thought so, and quietly grabbed Gray's hanging right hand and held it in his palm. Fortunately, I have already met it.

"...so handsome, Gray," he said with a smile, "that sentence just now is like a knight in a Western fantasy novel."

Gray didn't respond, and snorted softly, but didn't intend to let go.

"We not only have to try, we also have to succeed," Jin raised his blue eyes to look at the silver-haired sentinel, "I haven't found my sister yet, and Gray hasn't caught the ghost fox yet, so it won't just end like this Of the."

"Hey, wait! This is the laboratory, and the idlers can't—ah!"

The red-haired girl with braided hair looked at the two people who pushed open the door of the laboratory, her eyes widened instantly, and her face quickly turned red: "Then, that... May I ask who you are?"

Gray took out his ID card and scanned it on the terminal on the girl's wrist, and the terminal immediately popped up the interface of personal information.Jin next to her put his palms together and made a "sorry" gesture to her, and also swiped out his message board, and sincerely apologized to the girl: "I'm sorry to disturb your work! My name is Jin, he It's Gray, we're here to find someone we've agreed to meet."

"Ah, it's okay, it's like this," the girl blushed and didn't dare to look into Jin's eyes, "My name is Abby, um, what are you looking for...?"

"—Sentry Gray, Golden Guide." At this moment, someone in the distance happened to call out and nodded at them.

Jin followed Gray to the person who stopped them. The man was about the same height as Jin, with black hair and blue eyes, wearing a lab coat and a red scarf around his neck.

Grey and Camille greeted each other casually, and then came back to introduce Jin succinctly: "Camille, the laboratory guide. He is Leishi's younger brother."

"...What?!" Jin Po looked at Gray in surprise, "Leishi still has a younger brother? And he's still in our tower?"

"Because it's only about half a year, and my brother thinks it's better to keep a low profile, so it's normal that Guide Jin doesn't know me," Camille replied with downcast eyes, turned around and took the initiative to lead the two of them to another room in the laboratory. , "Please follow me, brother...Lei Shi is already inside."

As soon as he walked into the room, King noticed that it was different.Gray next to him obviously had more experience than him, and the sentinel's mental state visibly relaxed after entering the room.There is only one white bed in the whole room, which looks very soft.The blond-haired guide touched the wall on one side with his hand, and confirmed his guess to Camille in a low voice: "White noise processing?"

Camille glanced at him briefly and nodded: "Such an environment will be more conducive to stress relief for highly sensitive people like our guides and sentries, and can assist in treatment."

For sentinels, especially those with strong abilities, their overly sensitive five senses will indeed cause some troubles in daily life, such as the birdsong whose volume is magnified 500 times in the morning, and the most bland porridge in the cafeteria. It's terribly salty, and it's extremely painful when the silk fabric rubs against the skin.So in contrast, the white noise space is definitely one of the favorite environments for sentinels.Although most people will receive formal education on related courses after entering the tower, and the professionals in the tower will teach the sentinels how to effectively reduce the damage of "allergies", but in the final analysis, there is only one word "tolerance", and this kind of pain can only be tolerated. reduced, but not eliminated.The higher the level of the sentinel, the better the ability to endure and restrain, but if you want to get rid of this trouble completely, you can only look forward to falling in love and binding your own exclusive guide as soon as possible.

Camille paused, and immediately turned his eyes in another direction.Jin followed his gaze, and immediately saw the A-level sentinel, Lei Shi, sitting on the only chair with his legs crossed.

"You recovered so quickly," Jin sighed sincerely. "It's great, Leishi."

Lei Shi didn't look at him, and just waved his hand at him: "Great is just a favor, so don't do this. Hurry up and end it, and I can get back my territory as soon as possible."

Jin turned his head to look at Camille suspiciously. The black-haired guide coughed lightly and explained to him: "...Sometimes after the mission, the eldest brother will borrow this room in the laboratory to rest."

Only then did Jin suddenly realize: "Ah, yes, it is more difficult for a single sentinel who has not yet bonded to relieve the pressure of the five senses."

Leishi: "..."

Camille: "..."

Jin looked back at the strange eyes of the brothers with a blank face: "...Did I say something wrong?"

——In a sense, such a sharp-edged person is really scary.Camille thought silently.

"Okay," Gray frowned, interrupted the meaningless conversation, turned to Leishi and asked in a deep voice: "Is there any news about the matter I mentioned to you earlier?"

Lei Shi narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "I know, about Guihu Tianchong. I tried to contact Palos and the others. This person only started various activities in the past year, but he has always been very cautious. In addition, he has no direct conflict or cooperation with us in terms of interests, so there is not much information we can get. I only know that he seems to have secretly established an organization called "Ghost Sky Alliance" outside the tower, and most of the people involved in it are They are ordinary people who are morbidly passionate about the sentinel ability, and those sentinel guides who have defected or left the tower voluntarily for various reasons. The common feature is also obvious, that is, people who are dissatisfied with the tower or the system of the tower."

"However, the number of guides there should not be many. Since you took over the stronghold of the auction guides in the black market a year ago, it is even more impossible to buy people." Lei Shi glanced at Gray provocatively, and then He continued to add lightly in that half-joking tone, "After all, there are only so few guides in the first place. After the accident, all of them were kept in captivity by the tower and died more than before. It's no wonder he has no choice."

The silver-haired sentinel was indifferent to Leishi's deliberate stepping on the thunder, but Jin listened silently, knowing that it was Gray who risked violating the tower rules so that Leishi, who had already surrendered to the first tower, contacted him again as the "pirate captain." "When the remnants collected information about ghost foxes.

"Then what is his purpose?" Camille deliberately changed the subject, and then asked Leishi.

"Most of the reasons he used to persuade others to join the Guitian League were under the banner of 'Ping///Quan'. He hoped to overthrow the existing towers and let people like sentries and guides return to ordinary human society. Then enjoy special protection." Lei Shi looked at his younger brother, "But I think that Guihu Tianchong himself may not think so. What he wants may not be as simple as a simple rebellion//rebellion .”

The room fell silent, and everyone realized the seriousness of the problem.

Gray looked at Camille and asked again: "What about the blood samples and chips that were handed over to the lab last time?"

The black-haired guide shook his head: "No particularly valuable results, sorry."

The atmosphere is becoming more and more serious, and the inability to obtain effective key information means that they will be at a disadvantage in this kind of frontal conflict that may be about to break out, which is not good. "Last time in the warehouse," Jin interjected, "Ghost Fox did say he'd come to trouble the Tower again or something. And anyway, he wanted my wizard element, which seemed important to him. .So I think we don't need to worry about finding his whereabouts. According to him, Ghost Fox will definitely come to me again on his own initiative."

"I agree with Guide Jin's opinion." Camille pursed her lips and said softly, "The most urgent thing is to stabilize the combination of the two first and restore Jin's ability."

"Speaking of which," Jin glanced at Gray, "I've been wanting to ask since just now...Camille should be a 'therapist', so what does Thunder Lion come here for?"

The man wearing the star scarf sneered disdainfully and stood up from his chair.He was so tall that Jin had to raise his head slightly to be at eye level with him: "Where do you think this is? In the laboratory, from the errand runners at the door to the testers sitting inside, they are all guides who have no actual combat ability. Let’s not talk about whether the two of you can succeed this time, if you fail, two S-level guys, if you lose control, you can level this place. Who gave you the courage to let my brother leave it alone for you to treat ?”

The blond-haired guide scratched the top of his hair, and immediately cleared up in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that... ah!"

With a cold face, Gray grabbed Jin's back collar and dragged him back two steps away. After he got between the two of them without leaving a trace, he said expressionlessly: "Don't waste any more time, directly Let's start." Lei Shi narrowed his eyes to see the expression of the S-rank sentinel, and didn't say anything more, and retreated slowly to the door, standing lazily with his back against the wall.

Camille sighed helplessly, took out a pair of low-prescription glasses, paper and pen from the side pocket of the white coat, and maintained his usual calm tone: "Then, both of you will do a simple pre-examination with me first. Check it out."
