Make your ex-boyfriend cry? That's easy!

Empire, the night is as dark as ink.

In the silence, Jiang Yan lay quietly in a dark room. Suddenly, he opened his eyes abruptly, as if waking up from a nightmare.

At this moment, he felt a splitting headache, as if countless steel needles were piercing his brain crazily.

At the same time, a powerful electric current raged deep in his brain, continuously releasing strong signals and leaving a series of obscure hints.

Those hints echoed in his ears like the devil's whispers.

——You are a spy sent by the Federation to the Empire. You are a loyal citizen of the Federation. You shoulder an important mission and must steal the Empire's secrets for the future and peace of the Federation!

Jiang Yan's heart was filled with pain and struggle, but despite this, he still relied on his tenacious willpower to hold on to his body.

He knelt on one knee with difficulty, clenched his right fist, and placed it heavily on his left chest. He said in an extremely solemn tone: "I understand. I will always be loyal to the Federation!"

The person controlling the electric current seemed to have heard his firm oath, and the current gradually became weaker. However, Jiang Yan was already soaked all over, and cold sweat kept dripping like rain.

He slumped on the ground with his back pressed against the edge of the bed, gasping for breath as if he had just experienced a life-and-death struggle.

After a long while, his breathing gradually calmed down and his body stopped shaking so violently.

Jiang Yan slowly stood up and walked towards the bathroom with heavy steps. Every step he took felt like he was stepping on cotton, soft and powerless.

……

This is the third month that Jiang Yan has entered this plane.

During this period, Jiang Yan suffered the same torture every night. He was tormented by the terrible electric current and suffered from splitting headaches. His whole body was covered in cold sweats. The feeling made him feel worse than death. There were even several times when he wanted to bang his head against the wall in order to end this endless pain.

Fortunately, through the plot information provided to him by 030, Jiang Yan finally figured out the general direction of this mission, and already had a plan in mind on how to maximize the benefits of relying on his own death to obtain the reputation entropy value.

This is an interstellar plane where the various planets and forces in the universe are intertwined and fighting openly and secretly, led by the Empire and the Federation.

The Empire is actually the continuation and development of ancient Earth civilization. Due to this deep connection, many aspects of the Empire are deeply imprinted with the traces of ancient Earth, the most obvious of which are culture and people's surnames and names.

Many names and surnames from ancient Earth are retained. These names not only carry family honor and tradition, but also serve as a bridge between past and present. When people address one another by name, it's as if they can travel through time and space, feeling the dazzling splendor of ancient Earth civilization.

Time flies, and thousands of years have passed. In the distant future, all humans on ancient Earth have migrated into the vast expanse of space.

However, the endless flames of war never stopped. In order to seek a glimmer of hope for survival, a part of human beings gradually transformed into two unique types of existence in the long process of evolution - sentinels and guides.

These special humans not only possess powerful spiritual powers beyond the imagination of ordinary people, but even more amazingly, their spiritual powers can be transformed into concrete spiritual bodies, appearing vividly in the real world.

Of course, they also have the side effect of estrus-like symptoms as an evolutionary cost.

Among them, the Sentinels are a group of individuals possessing exceptional five senses. Their combat prowess far surpasses that of the average human, making them the pinnacle of humanity. Furthermore, an innate instinct, seemingly etched deep within their genes, compels them to unwaveringly protect their guides.

However, as Sentinels' abilities grew, so did the risk of sensory overload. Once their mental energies became unbalanced and unstable, they could easily be consumed by rage, plunging into a frenzy.

On a normal day, their keen senses constantly and automatically collect vast amounts of complex and trivial information. This overload of information weighs heavily on their sensory systems, like a mountain weighing down an egg, causing most Sentinels' emotions to fluctuate like the turbulent ocean.

At the same time, this condition also makes them more vulnerable to certain rare and special diseases, which places a heavy burden on their body and mind.

Guides are people with a unique gift – the ability to empathize.

Their extraordinary empathy allows them to be extremely sensitive to the emotions of others, as if they can directly touch the deepest joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness in others. Therefore, they can soothe the tempers of the Sentinels and bring them out of their fugue or violent states.

Not only that, this powerful ability of empathy also makes them more susceptible to the emotions of those around them, just like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

It is worth mentioning that the very few guides who are extremely capable are even more amazing.

They were able to skillfully use the power of their emotional resonance to interfere with the thoughts and emotions of others, turning this power into an invisible but deadly weapon, whether it was against other guides or sentinels.

However, despite possessing such magical and powerful abilities, most guides tend to be gentle and rational, like a warm spring breeze, gentle and pleasant.

Normally, sentinels and guides would go hand in hand into the smoke-filled battlefields, carrying out difficult and dangerous tasks together.

This journey together is what people often call the perfect union of body and spirit. This bond, like a match made in heaven, is a lifelong companionship, even until one partner dies. After all, this intimate bond of souls, a bond that endures through life and death, is so strong that it could not be easily broken except by fate.

And one crucial point is that every Sentinel is destined to stay with only his own exclusive bonded guide, and vice versa.

This is a destined bond that cannot be severed or replaced. Of course, if one of the partners dies, the surviving partner still has the right to find a new partner and complete the union again.

However, for sentinels and guides, being widowed is undoubtedly an extremely painful tragedy. The pain it brings is as unbearable as having one's soul torn apart.

Because of this, most Sentinels or Guides who have experienced the pain of losing their spouse become consumed by the grief of their loss, never again seeking a new life partner. They seem to have lost their motivation and hope for life, and the deep wounds in their hearts make it difficult for them to open their hearts and accept others again.

However, there are always some lucky people in the world who, even after suffering such a heavy blow, can still meet their soul mate who is a perfect match for them again in the vast crowd and regain the warmth and comfort of love.

As for the spiritual body, it is actually a concrete manifestation of the inner spiritual world of the sentinels and guides, usually existing in various animal forms.

These spiritual beings may come from a higher-dimensional space beyond imagination, and only sentinels and guides have the ability to see and touch them.

Furthermore, Sentinels and Guides can sense or conceal each other's spirits. Theoretically, by manipulating their spirits, they could even directly harm one another.

As for the general public, due to the lack of this special perception ability, they can neither see these mysterious spiritual beings with their own eyes, nor perceive their existence, nor be affected by them in the slightest.

There is also a strict hierarchy within the group of Sentinels and Guides, divided into "D, C, B, A, S and S+", in addition to the most powerful and rare dark level.

In this hierarchy, Dark Rank is at the top, representing unparalleled strength, while D Rank is at the bottom, closest to ordinary people and relatively weak. The gap between the different ranks is significant, and the abilities and permissions they possess vary greatly.

The Dark Sentinel is considered the strongest among the Sentinels. The probability of its appearance is extremely small, as if it is a rare treasure bestowed by God to the world.

The Dark Sentinel possesses extreme self-control beyond the imagination of ordinary people. No matter how complicated the situation or how strong the emotional impact is, he can control his emotions like an indestructible rock.

Theoretically, it is almost impossible for them to lose control of their emotions. Because of this, they can walk alone in this complex world without the help of a guide.

These dark sentinels are born with an irresistible leadership aura, as if they are destined to lead the crowd forward.

At the same time, at most one Dark Sentinel will be born in the entire world. They are like lonely kings, standing proudly on the top of the mountains.

Although the true reason for the formation of the Dark Sentinels is still shrouded in mystery, it is undeniable that they possess enormous power to influence other Sentinels and can even transmit key signals to the entire group in some special way.

At the same time, there are also dark guides who are also the best among guides, standing at the pinnacle of strength and ability.

Dark Guides possessed unparalleled powers of purification and empathy, far exceeding the reach of ordinary Guides. Furthermore, compared to ordinary Guides, they were more composed and unfazed by the Sentinels' turbulent emotions, less susceptible to their influence.

It is precisely because of this extraordinary talent that the Dark Guide can easily break into the Sentinel's hidden mental picture.

Once they successfully cross that seemingly insurmountable barrier, they will immediately gain absolute control over the sentinel.

This control isn't simply manipulation or command, but rather a domination that reaches deep into the bones and soul. They even possess the uncanny ability to rewrite and reshape the Sentinels' spiritual worlds, as if they were gods holding the thread of fate.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to call the Dark Guides natural animal tamers, because in front of them, even the wildest and unruly Sentinel hearts will eventually have to bow down obediently.

As for the mental picture, it is the concrete spiritual world of the sentinel or guide, and it is also the embodiment of their true mental state.

When a Sentinel enters a dangerous state of severe sensory imbalance, the Guide can use his spirit body to enter the other party's mental picture to bring him back and re-establish contact with the outside world.

The target of the mission is the famous Imperial General Lu Qinian, who is a Dark Sentinel. He is brave, skilled in fighting, and extremely intelligent, and is deeply loved and respected by the people of the Empire.

However, behind this seemingly calm interstellar struggle, there is a shocking secret hidden.

Jiang Yan, on the surface, is a spy sent by the Federation to the Empire, but in fact he has a dual identity that is unknown to the public.

He was the long-lost young prince of the Empire, tragically kidnapped by the Federation at the age of twelve. Due to his young age and extreme shock, the prolonged high fever caused him to lose his memory.

Although all the top leaders of the Federation believed that Jiang Yan had forgotten everything in the past, this was not the case. Not long after, Jiang Yan miraculously recovered his memory.

But fate has twisted his mind. A chip has been implanted in his brain. Like an invisible pair of eyes, this chip constantly monitors his every move. Everything he says, hears, and, when necessary, sees is transmitted without reservation to the person who controls him through the chip.

Knowing that he was powerless to ask for help and that the road home was a distant prospect, Jiang Yan had no choice but to take advantage of the situation and continue to lurk inside the Federation, waiting for the opportunity.

That year, Jiang Yan was only fourteen years old, which would still be a junior high school student in the 21st century, not to mention the interstellar plane, a world where everyone lives to be one or two hundred years old.

However, he never expected that he would be the one to be sent to the empire to perform a spy mission.

Faced with such a situation, Jiang Yan felt isolated and helpless, with nowhere to turn for help.

Faced with this dilemma, he had to carefully maneuver between the two sides, cleverly selecting some seemingly vital but actually insignificant intelligence to pass back to the Federation in order to maintain his disguise while avoiding posing a real threat to the empire.

How could the federal government be satisfied with just the current situation under its control? They knew that Jiang Yan was hiding great value and secrets, so they tortured him day and night.

Release powerful electric currents to torture his fragile brain.

However, Jiang Yan was not one to be easily defeated. After years of painstaking concealment, he had already honed his resolve to the point of being as hard as steel. He would never let all his efforts go to waste.
