Chapter 115: Accidents Cannot Be Replicated
“They gave Si Yu the final command… The content was: For the hard-won peace of the White Tower, Captain Si Yu, please lead the entire Fourth Team of Sentinels to… die heroically… Heh!“
“Die heroically?”
Su Tang repeated those two words, feeling a chill crawl up from the soles of her feet. They enjoyed the peace brought by the Sentinels’ life-and-death struggle, then asked the collapsing Sentinels to sacrifice themselves. The White Tower was truly disgusting to the core.
An Se’s fists tightened further, his voice thick with uncontainable fury.
“At the time, there was a B-rank Guide in my team. Seeing that Si Yu’s condition was truly dire, she gave me some of her blood. I extracted Guide Pheromones from it and used them along with inhibitors to refine a potent serum. The effect was decent. Although it couldn’t save him, it stabilized Si Yu’s consciousness. That was the first time he woke up after I found him. He could still recognize me, and he could still call my name.”
An Se’s voice grew louder, the suppressed emotions finally bursting forth.
“But that command was like a final poison, stabbing directly into his newly awakened consciousness.”
An Se took a sharp breath, trying to calm himself.
Sometimes he truly regretted it—if he had given him the serum a little later, would he have missed the moment the command arrived?
Su Tang’s breathing hitched.
“They… he… and then? What happened?”
He closed his eyes, as if seeing the scene again. Si Yu was leaning against a broken wall, his blood-stained hand gripping his bracelet. The words ‘Die Heroically’ on the screen were a painful sight to behold.
His slightly stabilized mental power fluctuated violently again. Pollution mist churned in his eyes, but he gritted his teeth and refused to let himself collapse completely.
“He looked at me and told me to stop trying to save him.”
An Se’s voice was shaking uncontrollably.
“He begged me to take the other Sentinels of the Fourth Team back. He said the Fourth Team had completed their mission. He knew his own rank, and in his current state, there was no way back. He couldn’t drag the White Tower down, and he certainly couldn’t become a monster and hurt people. But the other Sentinels in his team… as long as they received help from a compatible Guide, there was still hope for them to survive. He wanted me to take them back…”
Yasuo turned back around and said word by word:
“An Se went mad confronting the White Tower, saying that if they just gave him three days, he could completely stabilize the Fourth Team’s Mental Seas. But the higher-ups wouldn’t listen. They even sent a supervision team, claiming they were there to assist, but in reality, they were there to watch and ensure the Fourth Team didn’t return to the Tower.”
“I didn’t let them get their way.”
An Se suddenly looked up, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
“I used every inhibitor and Guide Pheromone I had on Si Yu. The Sixth Team’s Sentinels voluntarily formed a human wall to block the supervision team for me. Later, we ran into Mo Xiao. He helped, and the First Team brought everyone else from the Fourth Team back.”
They were brought back, and then…?
Why did the White Tower still claim the Fourth Team was wiped out in that battle? What happened next…?
“Later, I discovered that combining Guide Pheromones with high-concentration inhibitors in a certain ratio could yield unexpected results. I formulated several different serums at various concentrations. I planned to start from a low concentration and gradually increase the strength after Si Yu adapted. But I didn’t expect…”
“While I was in the lab formulating the serum, the White Tower infiltrated my treatment room. I had prepared seven vials in total, intended to last a month. They injected all seven into Si Yu at once.”
An Se’s heart ached whenever he remembered the scene he saw upon opening the door.
“My treatment plan wasn’t wrong. After the serum took effect, the mental pollution in Si Yu was indeed cleared. But because of the high-concentration injection in such a short time, his Mental Sea couldn’t take it anymore and actively entered a closed state.”
“Those high-concentration blocking agents completely severed his emotional center. He forgot his teammates, forgot everything. He became a humanoid weapon that couldn’t feel emotion. The current him is just an empty shell with combat instincts.”
Su Tang opened her mouth to say something but didn’t know what to say. Silence—a deathly silence—quickly spread through the surroundings.
“You think this is disgusting too, don’t you? But the disgusting part isn’t over.”
“Si Yu was the result of an accident. But the White Tower actually wanted to mass-produce this result. In their eyes, an obedient humanoid weapon with a completely closed Mental Sea—one that cannot be ‘soothed’ by a Guide but also cannot be harmed by pollution mist or fall into mania—is the greatest invention.”
Hearing this, Su Tang’s heart skipped a beat. A post she had seen on the forum flashed uncontrollably in her mind.
That Guide had said they were bled for a large amount of pheromones every month. But in the Tower, most Sentinels used inhibitors. In the supply station, inhibitors containing Guide Pheromones were few and far between. Where were all those pheromones going?
Thinking of what An Se just said, the chill in Su Tang’s heart deepened.
Seeing Su Tang’s increasingly solemn expression, An Se let out a self-mocking laugh.
“You can probably guess what happened next. The White Tower wanted to mass-produce ‘Si Yus,’ so they began collecting pheromones in bulk, trying to replicate the serum they injected into his body. The first ‘lab rats’ they targeted were the remaining high-pollution Sentinels of the Fourth Team who hadn’t recovered yet.”
“And the result…?”
Su Tang bit her lip.
“I told you, Si Yu was the result of an accident. How could an accident be replicated?”
As he spoke, the man’s voice seemed to choke up for a second. Then, she heard him take a deep breath.
“Not a single Sentinel from the Fourth Team survived. In the end, I couldn’t do what I promised him.”
“It’s not your fault. You can’t be everywhere. If the White Tower wanted to do this, they would always find a gap. Even if you were there that day, you couldn’t have stopped it.”
Yasuo stood up, walked to An Se’s side, and patted the man’s shoulder.
“Are they still extracting those massive amounts of pheromones every month? Have they not given up on that idea?”
Su Tang clenched her fists. When she received an affirmative answer from An Se, a wave of coldness washed over her.
“But I’ve been at the White Tower for quite a while now. Why have they never extracted my pheromones?”
“Your rank is F. The pheromones I used back then were C-rank at the lowest.”
Understood. It turned out that the low rank she was initially tested at had inadvertently saved her life.
