Why Does a Guide Have Poison?!

At fourteen, Du Shengyun was specially admitted to the Tower’s military division. By twenty-seven, he had already secured the rank of major general. Yet he still had no compatible sentinel, making him a rare guide with a special spirit form. With his mutated jellyfish at his side, Du Shengyun’s status as the perennial bachelor remains unchallenged. Although Major General Du has powerful mental strength and formidable abilities, and can lead a squad of up to a hundred sentinels without breaking a sweat, he is especially gifted at combat strategy. He has no shame and will use any underhanded trick, so it’s fair to say he’s a shoo-in to become the next Chief Guide. It’s only in mental guidance and soothing that the military considers him a little… unbalanced. The director of the military sanatorium slammed his desk and roared, “A little unbalanced? What kind of jellyfish has venom this potent? It can make a sentinel throw up and have diarrhea halfway through a session! Is he here to treat them or poison them!?” A guide’s spirit form came with its own toxin, and a potent one at that, leaving many sentinels reluctant to go anywhere near him. Just as everyone had decided that Du Shengyun would be unable to form a link with a sentinel and would have to spend his life with only his cold military rank for company, one day, the sanatorium director’s door was suddenly kicked open. Ignoring the murderous looks from a group of old men, Du Shengyun excitedly pointed at the blood-soaked sentinel in his arms, who was still bewilderedly clutching a jellyfish tentacle, and announced cheerfully, “I found a cat, everyone! He wants to come home with me!” Lin He: “…” Everyone: “….” … Lin He was born a sentinel. In an age when ordinary people could inject a catalyst at twelve and try to awaken their genes, his senses were exceptionally keen and his physical abilities far surpassed those of an average sentinel. His spirit form, however, was a mutant lynx half his height. After witnessing sentinels and guides from the Tower’s military division brazenly mistreating ordinary people in the city, Lin He came to despise the Tower. He had no intention of selling himself to those lofty degenerates. So he hid his identity and lived in the lawless city district, taking any job he could handle with his skills. Then, at nineteen, his mental landscape suddenly went haywire, and he nearly lost control. After spending just 0.01 seconds weighing his dignity against his life, Lin He dragged himself to the military sanatorium with his last bit of strength and unconsciously grabbed a soft, cool tentacle hanging down. Lin He: “Save me. I just awakened…” Du Shengyun, clutching his jellyfish and fresh from being thrown out of the sanatorium: !!? Guys, there’s a little cat who isn’t afraid of poison.
