Chapter 55. Are You Threatening Me?
The twin-tailed Sentinel turned around, pulled over the shopping cart Su Tang had pushed away, and took back the two shirts from inside.
“Captain Mo… isn’t really like a block of wood either…”
The silver-haired Sentinel shrugged indifferently.
“Perhaps to you it’s like that. Alright, little Guide, if you don’t have anything else you want to buy, it’s better to head back early. That group of guys from the Second Squad are all people who seek revenge for the smallest grievance. This place might get very chaotic next.”
“Yeah, Guide Su, after you finish buying things, hurry back to your dorm. The next scene won’t be suitable for a Guide to watch…”
“Alright, be careful.”
Su Tang pulled over a shopping cart, the shirts were put back inside, and then she picked out a few everyday clothes in the women’s clothing section before going to pay.
Before leaving the door, the little Guide even obediently waved at them. The twin-tailed Sentinel laughed cheerfully.
“So nice, those dog cubs in the First Squad really struck it lucky, running into such a gentle Guide.”
“Who says otherwise? Truly envious.”
“Alright, stop expressing your thoughts on other people’s squads over there. We just received a notice from the captain. If those scumbags dare to come seek revenge, let us make a move directly without worrying too much.”
Back when he was watching the show earlier, he had already sent a copy of the recorded video to their captain. Seeing the order issued by Yasuo on the wristband, the silver-haired Sentinel shook his hair, crunched the candy piece in his mouth, took out the little stick, and accurately tossed it into the trash can in the corner.
“It just so happens our colleagues from the Second Squad haven’t gone out for activities in a long time. We’ll treat it as doing volunteer work to help them stretch their bones and muscles.”
…………
Su Tang returned to the dormitory carrying bags large and small. First, she found a large box from the bathroom, folded Zhan Ye’s flashy clothes, and stuffed them in. Then she found a bag, closed her eyes, stuffed the embarrassing clumps from the cabinet into the bag, tied it up tightly, and threw it into the very bottom of the box.
Afterward, she carried the entire box to the very top of the wardrobe. If nothing unexpected happened, those things would never see the light of day.
Hanging her newly bought clothes neatly inside the wardrobe, looking at the wardrobe that had returned to normal, Su Tang slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Because they had just returned from outside, the White Tower didn’t arrange too many matters for the First Squad. Because Mo Xiao had reported the discovery of other species, he was continuously called by the White Tower’s high command for two days of meetings, leaving early and returning late every day. The First Squad’s affairs were temporarily handled by Vice Captain Kelai.
After this mission, everyone in the First Squad’s attitude toward Su Tang was much softer than before. Knowing Su Tang had exhausted her spiritual power to save their captain, Kelai arranged for her to rest at home these few days. Su Tang could be considered to be experiencing her first mini-vacation since coming to the White Tower.
Staying in the dorm and rarely going out these few days, she did hear a lot of fresh news about the outside. The Fifth Squad and the Second Squad got into a huge fight at the supply station for some unknown reason and were taken away by people from the Supervisory Committee. Yasuo made a trip to the Supervisory Committee and, reportedly, caused a massive scene to bail his people out. As for the Second Squad’s Sentinels, because their captain was under supervision himself and couldn’t go out to bail them, they had been detained there all along.
It was said that the group of little cat cubs from the Fifth Squad ran to the dark room at the Supervisory Office every day, aside from training, overtly and covertly giving the Second Squad’s Sentinels a good deal of grief.
She learned of this news from Li Mo. He was very curious about what happened on their mission this time, so they had been in contact these past two days.
Thinking of the cats strutting proudly with their tails raised high in front of the tall, locked-up Sentinels, looking like they were patrolling their territory, Su Tang couldn’t help but find it amusing.
Knock, knock, knock—
“Guide Su Tang, are you there? Guide Su Tang?”
Through Li Mo’s recommendation, Su Tang downloaded a small game on her wristband that could simulate real battlefields. As long as she controlled her spiritual power, she could control the little person in the game to perform various actions. It was developed by the Guide Protection Association and could be considered a small tool for Guides to exercise their control over spiritual power.
The scene settings inside were very realistic. Nestled in her dorm and not going out these past few days, Su Tang had been constantly practicing her mastery over her spiritual power in this little game.
Zhan Ye’s Golden Eagle did try to fly in through the window a few times, but they were all shooed back by her. Over these past few days, this was the first time someone knocked on her dormitory door so urgently.
Listening to this voice, it seemed quite familiar.
Su Tang grabbed a jacket and draped it over her shoulders, walked out of the bedroom, and opened the dormitory door. Sure enough, she saw that twin-tailed little loli staring at her with an urgent expression.
“Thank goodness! Guide Su, it’s a good thing you’re here.”
“You are A’ning, right?”
“Yes, it’s wonderful that Guide Su remembers my name.”
“Is there something the matter coming to find me so late?”
It was already 8 o’clock in the evening. For a Sentinel to knock on a Guide’s dormitory door at this time was very impolite behavior, especially when knocking on the door of another squad’s accompanying Guide.
The twin-tailed little loli seemed to have encountered a very difficult problem. Dense beads of sweat broke out on her forehead, dampening her bangs.
“Sorry, Guide Su, to disturb you so late. It’s just… our captain and Department Head Anse started fighting in the Medical Department. We would like you to come with us to take a look.”
Yasuo and Anse started fighting at the Medical Department?
Su Tang frowned. From her observations, the relationship between those two people was clearly quite good. How could they have started fighting in the Medical Department?
“Sorry, I might not be able to help you. If you want to stop them, I suggest you go find Captain Mo Xiao or Captain Zhan Ye.”
Those were two Super S-Class Sentinels. For the two of them to fight in the Medical Department and ask her, a little Guide, to stop them, wasn’t this purely sending herself to be cannon fodder?
“No, that’s not it, Guide Su. The situation at the scene is a bit complicated. I think, it can only be you who can stop him.”
Su Tang frowned slightly.
“You must have misunderstood something. There’s nothing special about me, and I don’t believe that relying on me, a little Guide, I could stop two top-tier Sentinel captains. It’s very late. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to rest…”
“No, you definitely can do it.”
The twin-tailed little loli warily scanned their surroundings, then lowered her voice, leaning closer to Su Tang, and whispered,
“I know your spiritual power is very special. Our spiritual entities have a very keen sense of smell. I already noticed something was wrong back at the tarmac. I know you, Guide Su Tang, marked Captain Mo Xiao. With your spiritual power being so special, you can definitely pull the captain back…”
The girl’s words forced Su Tang to narrow her eyes. Taking a step back, she looked at her warily.
“So, are you planning to threaten me to go over?”
