14. Deep Purification
Zhan Ye let Su Tang’s gaze size him up completely. He acted like a boneless mollusk, as if he couldn’t stand steadily without support, leaning diagonally against the blank wall.
“Stop looking. The injuries on your Captain Mo aren’t any fewer than mine.”
Is this something to be proud of?
Su Tang raised an eyebrow and didn’t respond to this remark.
“I heard from the pups in my team that you missed me. Look, I came over to see you.”
“I’m still injured here. How about it? Touched? Do you want to throw yourself into Big Brother’s arms immediately?”
What kind of nonsense is he talking about?
Who missed him? Who started such a rumor behind my back?
“Spreading rumors about a Guide behind her back—can I also report you to the Guide Protection Association for this?”
Su Tang sat on the bed with her arms crossed.
If not because Mo Xiao told her that Zhan Ye also contributed for her sake, just based on that sentence from Zhan Ye, she would have sounded the alarm and let the First Squad blast him out.
“The pups under me told me you asked about my whereabouts today. Isn’t that missing me?”
Very well. Over-imagination is a disease.
She suggested he go to the Medical Department right now and let Anse examine his brain properly to see if it was damaged by Mo Xiao during the brawl last night.
Although Su Tang didn’t say anything, the way she looked at him was truly amusing. Zhan Ye couldn’t help but laugh.
“Alright, alright, I admit I missed you, so I couldn’t help but come over to see you. Don’t look at me with those eyes; what if I can’t control myself later?”
“…”
Su Tang ignored him and walked straight to the alarm button on the wall in the outer room. Seeing that Su Tang didn’t look like she was joking with him, Zhan Ye raised both hands to his cheeks.
“Alright, alright, not joking with you anymore. Come sit for a while; I want to have a good talk with you.”
“Don’t let that bunch of pups from the First Squad come. If those little pups see me like this, they’ll inevitably spread it and make others laugh at me.”
Couldn’t you have spoken properly earlier? Forced me to use this move.
Su Tang walked to the living room and sat on the sofa. Since they were chatting, the bedroom obviously wasn’t quite appropriate.
Zhan Ye came here just wanting to spend some time alone with the little Guide. He wasn’t picky about the place, but if it could be in the private bedroom full of the little Guide’s sweet scent, that would have been even better.
Zhan Ye’s gaze swept regretfully over the direction of the bedroom, lingering on that bed for a few more seconds, then helplessly followed Su Tang into the living room.
The man’s physique seemed too tall for this space. Resources inside the White Tower were scarce, and tens of thousands of people lived there. Even if she was given a luxurious configuration, theoretically, the space wouldn’t be too big. She had originally thought her living room was spacious, but sitting with such a tall man now, the space felt cramped.
Especially since the man’s mental state seemed unstable right now. Waves of unconcealable pressure radiated from him, attacking her.
“Speak. You came to find me today; what do you want to say?”
“I wanted to ask you, are you going to attend the party with me tomorrow or not?”
Zhan Ye observed the expression on Su Tang’s face as he spoke. He knew Su Tang definitely wanted to attend in her heart. With her current ability, she simply couldn’t refuse an invitation like his.
But that guy Anse told him seriously that he had no chance, inexplicably causing him to have a belly full of anger early in the morning.
“Thank you for your kindness, but I don’t have time. I’m afraid I can’t go.”
“No time? Didn’t that guy Mo Xiao give you time off these past few days? Do you… have other side gigs?”
It seems the saying that there are no absolute secrets inside the White Tower is correct. The Third Squad knows the First Squad’s affairs like the back of their hand.
“Don’t look at me like that. Outsiders say my relationship with Mo Xiao is bad, but actually, the friendship between the captains of the various squads inside the White Tower is quite deep.”
Su Tang nodded secretly. Mo Xiao had said the same thing to her.
“Since you know everything, I don’t need to find other excuses with you. Zhan Ye, I won’t go.”
“Why?”
The man’s mood was extremely irritable at this moment. He didn’t understand why Su Tang would refuse him. In his view, he was doing it for her good; the woman shouldn’t have a reason to do this.
“The reason is simple, Zhan Ye. I don’t want to owe you more favors.”
“What?”
What kind of talk is this? Just because of this bullshit reason?
“Favors feel restrictive and unpleasant to carry. Besides, I feel that with my current ability, I can earn what I want with my own hands.”
“So Zhan Ye, I thank you for creating this opportunity for me, but I still won’t go.”
After this sentence was spoken, a long silence fell between the two. Just when Su Tang thought Zhan Ye would leave, the sound of wind movement suddenly came to her ears. Violent spiritual power attacked her, her wrists were imprisoned by the man, and her entire body was pushed down onto the soft sofa.
Su Tang’s eyes widened, looking in disbelief at the man hovering above her. The man’s pupils were covered with red blood streaks. Due to panic, Su Tang subconsciously began to struggle.
“Zhan Ye, what are you doing? Let go of me! Are you crazy?”
“Just consider me crazy.”
The imprisoning force on her wrists became heavier. She could feel the spiritual power on Zhan Ye becoming more and more uncontrollable. Seeing the man above about to press down on her, Su Tang twisted her body, bending her knees upward to resist the pressure brought by the man.
In front of absolute strength, all actions were useless. Zhan Ye looked coldly at Su Tang’s resisting movements, a cold sneer spilling from his lips. He pressed down harder with his body, forcing the person underneath’s knees apart, kneeling with one knee on the large patch of soft sofa vacated by the woman’s movement.
The sensation of touching the man between her legs made Su Tang feel more and more uneasy.
“Is it that you don’t want to owe me favors, or you don’t want to have too much involvement with me? Do you hate me that much?”
The man’s strength grew greater, and Su Tang felt she was being crushed to the point of breathlessness.
She tried hard to force herself to calm down, looking at Zhan Ye hanging above her. The man had completely lost his reason at this moment. If she continued to resist him like this, she undoubtedly had no chance of winning.
“Zhan Ye, listen to me. Your spiritual power fluctuation is very abnormal right now. I know doing these things isn’t your intention. Calm down and let me dredge it for you, okay?”
In the original host’s mind, there was no impression of doing deep channeling for Sentinels. True, the original host was identified as a trash Guide as soon as she differentiated; the family wouldn’t waste a lot of energy training her.
Her few experiences purifying Sentinels were figured out by herself. After finishing the purification a while ago, Li Mo told her that what she performed was the most basic shallow purification. It was surprisingly effective for those low-level Sentinels, but for those truly high-level ones, it wasn’t quite enough.
Dealing with those high-level, dangerous Sentinels with high riot values, to calm them down completely, deep purification must be performed.
But, how exactly is deep purification done?
