[BL] Heroic Death System (PART 1)

Chapter 128: Sentinel & Guide (V)

Seeing Shang Ke nearly collapse due to the painful memories, everyone outside monitoring the situation felt a little anxious and sympathetic. At this point, they finally put to rest their doubts and truly accepted the guide who had experienced many hardships.

Yonis took Shang Ke back to the ward, gripped his hand tightly, and stood quietly beside him.

Shang Ke's whole being felt empty. His mental suffering was a hundred times more painful than his physical one. Zeder's remaining memories were like volcanoes. Under the stimulation of hypnosis, they burst out suddenly and engulfed Shang Ke's spirit, making him relive his miserable childhood with him.

Shang Ke couldn't understand why anyone can be so cruel. That man had no pity for his own child, and his anger, unwillingness and grievances manifested physically as violence. He not only brought Zeder physical harm, but mental oppression as well.

Were it not for Shang Ke's strong mental power, Zeder's memories would have affected him, and he'd become psychologically twisted as well, or even fall into complete madness.

After an unknown spell of time, Shang Ke slowly woke up from his sleep. Although he felt slightly uncomfortable, his brain was clear and bright, as if the dust accumulated for many years was suddenly swept away. Perhaps after venting, Zeder could finally be at peace.

"Shang Ke." A low voice spoke by Shang Ke's ear, interrupting his thoughts.

Shang Ke turned his head and saw a handsome man sitting by the bed, staring at him intently.

Shang Ke's eyes slowly moved down and fell on their intertwined hands.

He introduced himself and said, "My name is Yonis."

Shang Ke glimpsed a lion chasing Waves beside him, and he guessed that this man was the sentinel who communicated with him through his spirit guide during the terrorist attack.

"I'm very sorry. We hypnotized you in order to confirm your identity, and the result almost caused you a mental breakdown." Yonis was deeply remorseful and wished he could bear all of it for him instead.

Shang Ke looked at him in silence.

"However, you are completely clear of all suspicion. You will become a legal citizen of the country with a high-level identity card, and enjoy all the benefits rightful to a guide," Yonis placed Shang Ke's hand on his chest and declared in an indisputable tone, "and I, Yonis, will be the sentinel responsible for protecting you in the future."

Shang Ke didn't receive any information about Yonis from the system, and he didn't know who the 'main character' of the world was. However, he knew that this man was one of the three Dark Sentinels in Biyashi to reach rank 'A'.

The so-called Dark Sentinels were the most powerful of all sentinels, because they had extreme self-control and strong physique. In theory, they didn't need the help of a guide and had always been the kings of every era.

Rank 'A' Dark Sentinels were more powerful than ordinary Rank S sentinels. However, 'Rank A' was the bottleneck of Dark Sentinels. In Biyashi's history, there were many records of Dark Sentinels attempting to advance.

However, they either became handicapped due to failure or self-destructed because of a rebellion in the spirit. Their self-control was always at risk of failure after reaching Rank A.

Later, speculations arose, that if Rank 'A' Dark Sentinels wanted to break through their bottleneck successfully, they had to find a guide having spiritual compatibility greater than 90% with them, and they also had to withstand their strong physical desire and mental impact.
