ARC 10 : SENTINEL & GUIDE

Chapter 132

TL: Sarah

When Shang Ke received the assignment, Whistler Hospital in the high-class area had been isolated. Just a few days ago, a spiritually unstable sentinel was sent to the hospital. The hospital sent a guide to treat him as usual, but during the process, the guide fell into the same spiritual state as the sentinel.

Guides were spiritually stable and rarely lost control. Only bonded sentinels and guides would enter perceptual synchrony because of spiritual resonance. However, both the guide and sentinel weren’t partners, and the probability of spiritual resonance was too low.

The hospital sent a second guide to treat the sentinel after the treatment failed but the same thing happened again. What was even more worrying was that in the next few days, the hospital received several sentinels with similar cases one after another. They not only were unable to receive a guide’s treatment, but they cause great spiritual damage to the guide. All the guides who had treated these sentinels had dropped to their original state after regaining their sanity, almost the same as ordinary people.

Sentinels and guides were complementary. If sentinels could no longer be assisted by guides, or they could even bring serious harm to them, the interdependent relationship between the two would be completely destroyed and the power structure of the country would collapse.

The incident quickly alarmed the upper echelons of the country. They suspended all spiritual assistance of guides to sentinels, concentrated all the sick sentinels to the Whistler hospital, and then sealed off the area.

When Yonis took Shang Ke to the meeting hall on the top floor of the hospital, many sentinels and guides had already gathered there. They greeted Yonis with a salute and looked curiously at Shang Ke beside him.

“How’s the situation?” Yonis’ eyes lingered on Mitchell for a moment, then turned to the Dean.

“We have repeatedly been testing the spiritual state of these sentinels. According to the fluctuation frequency, they’re in a chaotic state of dissociation, which was what we often call psychosis.”

Psychosis refers to a kind of illness in which sentinels get lost in their senses because they have not been guided for a long time.

The Dean continued, “But unlike ordinary psychosis, this kind of psychosis is extremely unstable. The patients are like having a nightmare and their spiritual powers change depending on it. This also makes it difficult for guides to establish spiritual connection with them and they’re led into the psychosis instead.”

“This kind of psychosis is definitely caused by external factors. Sentinels’ self-induced psychosis shouldn’t be out of the control of a guide,” The President of the Guide Guild finished.

“External factors? Sentinels have strong immunity. What kind of external factors can induce psychosis disease?” Yonis asked asked worriedly.

“This is also a problem we cannot fathom.”  The Dean replied, “Before this, the sentinels were completely normal. They hadn’t fought with anyone and hadn’t eaten food that didn’t meet the sentinel’s standards.”

“Time is tight. We have to find a cure as soon as possible. If a sentinel wanders in his psychosis for more than a month, we may not be able to do anything about it.”  The Present warned.

“The best way to cure it is to rely on a guide to attempt spiritual detection.” The Dean sighed, “But we dare not let the guides take any more risks. There have already been two guides who had suffered spiritual deterioration due to treatment and this kind of regression may be permanent.”
