【Ruijin】Eye of the Storm

Chapter 1

"Hi, I'm An Mixiu."

The blond boy suddenly raised his head from the sofa in the living room, his blue eyes looked in the direction of An Mixiu rather confusedly.He subconsciously glanced in the direction of the door, and there was indeed no new visitor behind him.

"...Hello?" An Mixiu moved closer, and stretched out a hand with a half-fingered black glove, "It's the first time I'm partnering with you, let's take care of each other."

It took Jin 30 seconds to digest the fact in front of him. When he stood up, he almost knocked over the disposable paper cup on the coffee table.He hurriedly supported it with his hand, and his fingertips got some transparent water stains, which he wiped on his pants with his backhand.

"...Hello, hello! My name is Jin." Jin held the hand of the strange guide with both hands, trying to look innocent.

The boy's palm was a little cold, but his blue eyes were as passionate as fire.An Mixiu stared at the dimples inadvertently revealed at the corner of the other party's mouth when he laughed, and nodded.

An Mixiu is a lone guide who has not yet decided to combine with the Sentinel, which is actually not very rare in the tower.The unmarked guide itself is a useful brick, where it needs to be moved.Today is not the first time he has been dispatched by Tari, but this time the combination of partners is slightly different.

"Did you come from another tower?" Jin jumped into the passenger seat and quickly closed the car door, leaned over the console and turned on the car heater skillfully with a few clicks of his fingers, "No wonder I haven't seen you before." .But what mission did the Tower send the two guides?"

"You haven't read the mission file yet, have you?"

Jin choked for a moment, then turned to An Mixiu, who was starting the off-road vehicle, clasped his hands together and made a "sorry" gesture: "...I'll watch it now!"

An Mixiu didn't mean to blame him at all, he felt that he was a very patient person, not to mention that Jin Tian had a face that made people look angry, and he would welcome anyone from all ages, even if he changed now. Wearing a calm combat uniform with a gun holster on his waist, he would only think that the other party looked like his underage brother.When Cheng Jin opened the terminal to browse the files, An Mixiu took it on the fly: "It is estimated that there was too much mess left by the big case a while ago. I heard a little bit that the sentries in your tower are not enough, so take We, the A-level guides appointed by Beta, filled the vacancies for field work."

Jin nodded indiscriminately, not knowing if he had listened.He has never liked to read the summary of those literary materials. After browsing through it roughly, he roughly understood that this is a gang of kidnappers who committed serial crimes. Among the criminals was a defected C-level guide. The daughter of a current government executive.This fish tower has been fishing for some time, and it is time to reel in the line.

The cursor sent by the positioning system was located near the abandoned dog farm in the suburbs, and the drive was a bit long. Fortunately, Jin was not shy and shy, so he began to chat with An Mixiu on his own initiative.

"It's my first time partnering with a guide," Jin said excitedly, "I have only been on missions with my combined sentry before."

An Mixiu glanced at him in surprise: "You're already married?"

"Yes!" Jin turned his head carelessly, lifted the hair on the nape of his neck with his left hand, and showed An Mixiu a small, slightly swollen red spot—a unique sign of a marked guide. "The location is not bad. It doesn't affect work and life, and it's convenient to show off. I like it very much."

"Little friend, is it true or not?" An Mixiu couldn't laugh or cry, "Are the people in the tower crazy? Why did you ask a combined guide to partner with me? Where is your sentinel?"

"Good question," Kim replied solemnly, turning up his collar again, "but I'm an adult, and Tari doesn't employ child labor, Brother Ang. Do you know Gray?"

There are tens of thousands of people with the same name in the world, but if this scope is narrowed down to the special minority group of sentinel guides, the directivity contained in the name Gray is obvious.Jin looked at the change of expression on An Mixiu's face, and then said confidently: "It seems that we know each other."

"How many S-level Sentinels have only been released in 50 years?" An Mixiu said helplessly, "The character that will be included in the next Sentinel textbook, is he really your Sentinel?"

"It's true. But we are a bit special. I'm not as good as Gray. We just passed the matching test in the tower last time," Jin said, tearing open a package of military rations, "yesterday We had a quarrel last night, and before we could reconcile, you see, we were disbanded today."

"Why are you arguing?" An Mixiu asked subconsciously, and immediately felt that he was suspected of spying on other people's privacy, and was a little embarrassed for a while.Jin didn't care much, he just stopped his hands, and An Mixiu obviously noticed that his mood became depressed and anxious in an instant.

"Actually, I don't want to quarrel with Gray," Jin said softly, "We haven't seen each other for a long time."

"My guide's grades are poor, and Gray is such a strong sentinel. There are many high-risk missions, so it's not suitable for me to go. He can only be alone, or temporarily combined with other guides..."

"But obviously I'm his bonding guide." He muttered something, as if complaining to An Mixiu, but also as if he was speaking to himself.

An Mixiu still couldn't believe it.He wants to tell Jin that the so-called combination is the soul mate stipulated by the genetic law.The degree of matching is high, and the risk is small when performing tasks. The higher-ups want it, and it is basically impossible to be dismantled and work separately.However, as an A-level guide, An Mixiu has been observing the spiritual state of the young guide since he got in the car.Jin has always given him a strange feeling. He is very young and has a good personality. He has both the unique clarity of a teenager and the innocuous detachment.Jin's guide gene activity level is definitely not something a novice can achieve, but at the same time, his control over mental power is very unfamiliar, and his mental barriers are almost undefended. Generally speaking, it seems that it is only at the level of a C-level guide at most, which can be called a Very bad.

With such a level of guiding ability, how could it be possible to attract each other with an S-rank sentinel?

In An Mixiu's professional knowledge, there is no such "love" between the sentinel and the guide.They are not ordinary people. For this special group of people who are born to be dominated by genes, the sexual attraction between the two sides has always been directly proportional to the degree of spiritual compatibility between each other. This extremely unscientific match can be successful The combination is fantastic in every sense of the word.

The strangeness of the contradiction is lingering. An Mixiu is full of doubts but doesn't know where to ask them. He can only hide his curiosity with his professionalism and focus on driving, while listening to the golden voice in the passenger seat. The sound of gnawing biscuits.

It was completely dark when they arrived at the abandoned kennel.The cross-country parked at a hidden distance, and An Mixiu inserted two military daggers into the cowhide sleeves on both thighs, and the two quickly approached the target building with their waists bent.

Jin stuffed the magazine into the M1911 pistol with the silencer installed in advance, loaded it quickly, and stuck himself tightly against the wall.He is much shorter than An Mixiu, but his investigative actions are quite professional.

"Trouble," Jin quickly glanced into the room, turned his head and said to An Mixiu in a low voice, "There are seven people in total, but the position of C-level cannot be determined. And the hostage is too young, you have to go around her to give a mental suggestion .”

For A-level guides, accurate hypnosis is not difficult to achieve.An Mixiu squinted his eyes to feel the guide waves around him, but he didn't find the other guide's barrier.The situation was somewhat complicated, which meant that King would have to break in to rescue the hostages without being able to locate the hostile guide.

"It's okay." Jin didn't have any objections, and even grinned relaxedly, "Although my mental performance is not very good, my physical skills are definitely passable."

An Mixiu couldn't find a better plan to refute him for a while, so he nodded in agreement, and made a few tactical gestures to signal Jin to take action.

The moment Jin stepped into the darkness, An Mixiu's spiritual realm spread out like a carpet following his forward steps.The kidnapper shrouded in the mental network was instantly given a hint of static thinking by the guide, and froze in place.Jin approached the five-year-old girl from behind as fast as he could, covered her mouth before she screamed loudly, and took the trembling little body into his arms.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." Jin comforted the little girl with his lowest voice, "Don't call, follow me."

The kidnappers around were still under control, unable to move, the A-level guide's mind control was indeed terrifyingly strong.Jin picked up the little girl and subconsciously wanted to look for Gray from the corner of his eye. After searching around to no avail, he suddenly remembered that he had broken up with the sentinel.Jin was stunned for a moment, and then the unique sensitivity of the guide made him feel that something was still wrong, but time did not allow him to think more.

Just as Jin was about to evacuate quickly, a mental shock wave with a strong hostility swooped over from the darkness.Everything happened in an instant, Jin only had time to protect the little girl in his arms with his own defensive barrier, and then he was knocked down to the ground by the strong dizziness in his brain.

Was discovered.

The aftermath of being mentally attacked by a guide is not pleasant, like throwing your brain in the washing machine drum and shaking it wildly.Jin leaned against the base of his tongue and forcibly swallowed the sour smell rising from his throat, hid the girl behind him, knelt down on one knee on the spot, pulled out his M1911, and quickly fired three shots in diagonally opposite directions.

Jin knew that his night vision ability was very average, at least not as good as Gray's.But a muffled groan immediately came from the darkness, letting him know that he finally got lucky this time.

"G-!" Jin yelled, wanting to call his sentry to respond, but when the first syllable rushed out of his throat, he realized his mistake. Fortunately, An Mixiu rushed in and shouted at them. Shouted "back".

The A-level guide pulled out the daggers on both sides of his legs and wrapped them neatly around the defected guide's upper limbs. His excellent fighting skills allowed him to block each other's joints with full strength, and the two quickly fought together.Kim saw the moment, picked up the little girl again, rushed out of the building, and headed straight for their SUV through the narrow passage.

The little girl was completely stunned. Jin put her on the passenger seat, held her face and wiped away the two tear stains with his thumb.

"Don't be afraid, it's safe here," he said with a smile, "Good boy."

Jin turned back to the abandoned building at the fastest speed. An Mixiu's powerful mental power had completely suppressed the C-level guide. With a hoarse growl, it was obvious that he had fallen into mental confusion.It was already dawn, and the sunlight came in through the cracks in the iron bars and windows. An Mixiu looked up and saw Jin running towards him, and shouted his name loudly.

"Sedatives and syringes are in the bag, quick."

Jin nodded, and took out the medicine and the slender syringe from the small bag that An Mixiu pinned to his waist.His hands were shaking all the time, and he almost missed the push tube.An Mixiu pressed the suspect's head down, and pierced the C-level guide's exposed nape of the neck bit by bit with the sharp and terrifying needle. With the injection of the drug, the guide's struggling movements finally went limp.

An Mixiu let go of his hand, and the C-Class who lost his support suddenly fell to the ground.He casually wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead with his sleeve, sighed and said, "Okay, the task is completed. Where's the little girl?"

"Take it back to the car." Jin adjusted his breathing, and firmly grasped his trembling right wrist with his left hand. He wanted to say something more, but An Mixiu pressed his shoulder nervously and forcibly lifted the wrist. start.

"Jin! Are you injured?" An Mixiu frowned and looked at his face, "...what?" The young blond guide still had tinnitus. He couldn't hear what the other party said clearly. A hot stream trickled from the nasal cavity to the upper lip.Jin subconsciously reached out to touch it, and it turned out to be covered with bright red blood.

"——It was my mistake," An Mixiu helped Jin deal with sporadic scratches on his calf and arms, with a guilty tone, "I'm really sorry..."

The rescued hostage girl lay asleep on the back seat, covered with An Mixiu's coat.Kim grabbed his right hand, which was holding the sterile cotton ball, and shook his head.His nose was still stuffed with cotton balls, and his voice sounded muffled: "Don't say that, Brother An. It's not your problem, it's—um..." He thought about his wording, "—mission is impossible Control accidents! Right."

"I'm used to partnering with Gray, he always takes care of me everywhere," he tried his best to explain, and gestured to An Mixiu, "We are both guides, and it's our first time working together, so it's inevitable that we don't have a tacit understanding, right? ?”

An Mixiu sighed: "It's not the same thing. When I submit the report to the superior, I will write it truthfully. You remember to report to the sanatorium in the tower, and don't worry about the rest."

Hearing him mention the report, Jin's face showed a little hesitation.An Mixiu thought that he had something to say, so he stopped and waited patiently for him to speak.On the contrary, Jin felt a little embarrassed, and after a long time, he coyly asked An Mixiu if he could not include the part about his injury in the report.

"How can this work?" An Mixiu objected without hesitation, and said to Jin sternly, as if he was educating his ignorant younger brother, "Only when you submit a report to the headquarters can you approve painkillers, and this is the only special medicinal material for guides. Obtaining channels. Jin, for our guide, you just suffered a flesh wound that won't heal in a day or two, what do you want to do? Don't die?"

"It's not that exaggerated, it's okay, I'm not afraid of pain." Jin said seriously, his blue eyes shining with hope.

An Mixiu stopped talking, and when he closed the medicine box, he moved a little harder, which surprised Jin.

"Tell me the truth," An Mixiu said, "then I'll consider whether to help you cheat."

"..."

Jin lowered his head and raised his hands to mess up his fluffy blond hair even more.He looked a little irritable, and it took him a while to explain in a low voice: "Because... I really can't be punished anymore."

"As I said, as a guide, no matter how much I practice, my grades are always very bad. I have to work harder, or I will never be able to keep up with Gray. If there are any mistakes recorded in the task, Tali will not Will Gray give up on me? I don't know, but I'm always worried that's going to happen."

Jin told An Mixiu that he didn't know the reason or when it started. His mental strength became very poor. Obviously, all the physical indicators were fine, but he seemed to have lost his most important role as a guide. The important thing is that I can't see the spiritual body of myself and Gray, and I can't communicate with my combined sentinel through the spiritual link in the brain, and no matter how much I practice, I don't make any progress, as if he shouldn't be a guide by nature.

"I don't know if today is a start, but I know Tari wanted to split us up a long time ago. There are many better and more capable guides, and they will have a higher degree of matching. Gray will carry out the task again You won’t be held back any longer.”

"...But I can't leave Gray, and Gray doesn't want to, we are the combined sentinel and guide, he always thinks that he can avoid everything by putting me in low-level tasks, but this is actually useless No, I already knew that."

"I like him so much and don't want to be separated from him. How can this be a kind of ability?"

King paused, and opened his mouth in vain.It seemed that he realized that his reason for being too emotional was contrary to his professionalism, so he didn't continue in the end, and closed his mouth a little aggrieved.

An Mixiu sent Jin to the guide recuperation room in the tower. The blond guide's symptoms were initially judged to be moderate mental shock, and he received treatment immediately.

An Mixiu borrowed the bathroom in the next ward to take care of himself, but when he was about to leave, he ran into a silver-haired sentry who hurried over.This is an area exclusively for guides, and sentries are prohibited from entering and leaving in principle.Therefore, sentries who can appear on such occasions generally have special identities.

He also seemed to have just returned from his mission, his combat uniform was still stained with dust and a little blood, his handsome face was expressionless, but he had a super sentinel oppressive aura around him, making him seem inaccessible.The ward where Jin was staying was tightly closed at this time, and a professional guide therapist was doing spiritual counseling for him. For this reason, the sentry could not enter the ward, and could only look in through the narrow glass window on the door. His eyes showed a little anxiety that didn't match his own temperament.

"Grey?"

An Mixiu called out tentatively, the other party froze for a moment, and looked towards this side vigilantly.

"Hello, I'm An Mixiu, a level-A guide in the Second Tower." The guide introduced himself generously, and Gray nodded, reaching out to shake hands with him.For some reason, An Mixiu felt that Grey was obviously relieved the moment he saw him.

"Thank you."

"No need," An Mixiu shook his head, "You know me?"

Gray was silent for a while, then nodded, "I know you. But I didn't know it was you and Jin partnering this time, I thought..."

"You think the Tower sent him a new Sentinel to replace you?"

Gray choked for a moment, but didn't answer.

An Mixiu looked at Grey, and remembered what Jin said when he begged him, and suddenly had an indescribably complicated feeling.

——In the world of Sentinel Wizard, is there really a love that has nothing to do with matching ability?

He suddenly felt very confused.

As Jin's joint sentinel, Gray naturally has the right to know everything that happened to his guide.An Mixiu relayed the accident of this mission to Grey. The young sentinel was silent for a long time. An Mixiu couldn't see what the S-level sentry was thinking, so he could only fall into silence with him. .

"It's not his fault." After a while, the sentinel suddenly said.

"...What did you say?" An Mixiu couldn't keep up with Gray's thinking, so he subconsciously asked.

"He just forgot," Gray said slowly, sitting on the side seat.Too long bangs covered his expression, An Mixiu could only see his tightly clenched hands, "We grew up together, and he is my only relative now. Jin is a guide of natural awakening, Earlier than me. He was born with a mental threshold of extreme width, and it didn't take much practice to give spiritual hints to tourists in an entire burning building."

Jin is a natural rare S-level guide, this talent is enough to match him with the best sentinels in the world.

Gray spoke very slowly. He told An Mixiu that their matching rate had once set a new record in the database in the tower. At that time, he had not taken over the title of "Chief Sentinel". The "use value" of the guide has also caused a huge discussion in the tower-if there is no binding and binding, the S-level guide can provide mental adjustment for more sentries.But even under such tremendous pressure, Jin still insisted on choosing to combine with Gray Whistle.

On the day Tata made an exception to approve, Daniel handed them the test results and teased them that they were "a perfect match".Jin shouted the combined sentinel's name loudly, and with a smile rushed over to hug his neck.

And that accident happened a year ago, and every piece of data involved in that incident is the top secret information of the tower.Ordinary sentinels and guides who had not participated in that mission only knew that the battle situation of that mission was astonishingly tragic. After that, the tower lost the first S-level guide that appeared in a century.

The wizard's special brain closed most of the spiritual conductors for self-protection. When Jin regained consciousness, he lost the enviable "talent" and at the same time caused a small part of memory confusion.

"His current body doesn't match up with the high-performance guiding force that he used to have. This imbalance prevents him from improving, and Kim doesn't know why... He forgets. He thinks it's his own fault. It's his fault." Not trying hard enough."

An Mixiu's eyes widened in shock, not knowing how to react.After buffering for a while, he remembered to ask back: "Why didn't you tell him the truth? Jin was very afraid that you would cut off the link between you."

When hearing this question, Gray's eyes darkened: "...the guide's brain is a sophisticated instrument, and no one knows what irreversible consequences the external overstimulation will cause. Forgetting is what his brain faces. The best protection against harm."

"...Will this situation last forever?" An Mixiu sighed, "It's a pity."

"I don't know." Gray said, "My investigation is not over yet, there are too many unexplainable doubts in that mission accident. So I can't tell him the truth, but I am Jin's joint sentinel, Whether or not he loses those talents for the rest of his life, no matter how close we are, I'm not going to leave him."

"An Mixiu," the silver-haired sentinel stood up, looking at the guide in front of him with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I need your help."

TBC

I just want to explain the setting a little bit: 1. Combining the whistle is equivalent to being married, so there is no first love scene in Ruijin in this article, and the opening scene is a loving couple. 2. There will be other characters appearing in the later stage, but this chapter has no other CP except Ruijin.
