The River Flows East to the Whistle

In the middle of the night, Jiang Liu quietly got out of bed and left the ward.

There was no one in the corridor. In the nurse's desk, the nurse on duty was dozing off on the table. Jiang Liu bypassed her and walked into the elevator.

Jiang Liu didn't ask the nurse about the situation of the black gold sentinel. He knew that these overprotective doctors and nurses would not let him see him. In the afternoon, Jiang Liu carefully expanded his spiritual realm. A thick piece of sentinel pheromone was detected, it should be there.

Jiang Liu discovered that the ability of a guide can clearly perceive the number and distance of sentries, guides, and even ordinary people in the field. Therefore, he avoided the doctors and guards who were watching the night and entered the building to the north. There are a few big characters, the sentinel hospital building, and the eye-catching warning sign at the door: "Dangerous, ordinary people are not allowed to enter without permission, and guides are not allowed to enter." Jiang Liu silently thickened his mental barrier and walked into the building.

The strong sentinel pheromone hit, accompanied by a flood of emotional pressure, and painful roars came from the ward from time to time. Jiang Liu knew how painful the injured sentry was, so he restrained himself from rushing past to comfort them. Impulsively, he carefully released the psychic thread, looking for the sentinel from Heijin.

Every sentinel has a different sense of spiritual touch. Jiang Liu's body has remembered them before his reason. Gradually, the spiritual touch threads gather in one direction. Jiang Liu found that soft touch. In front of the door, there is a label on the door: Ding Shiyang, Sentinel, Deep Sensory Fugue.

Such a name is too unsuitable for fighting on the battlefield, Jiang Liu thought, and carefully opened the door of the ward.

A big silver-gray dog ​​jumped up from the ground, looked at Jiang Liu twice, didn't bark, and came over to rub his leg. Jiang Liu knew that it was the sentinel's spiritual body.

On the hospital bed, lay the sleeping Sentinel, wearing breathing equipment and various instruments, with brown hair scattered on the pillow, and his soft eyes were tightly closed.

Jiang Liu walked over and sat down on the chair beside the bed.

He couldn't forget the sentry. He remembered the way the sentry looked at him, and how ecstatic he was when he heard the invitation to marry him. However, he used him. Now that the sentry fell here, it was basically his own responsibility.

The big dog came over and lay docilely at Jiang Liu's feet. This is the relationship between the sentinel and the guide. No matter what the guide does, the sentry's dependence on the guide cannot be changed.

Jiang Liu held the sentinel's hand on the quilt, closed his eyes, and slowly entered the sentry's spiritual realm.

Jiang Liu once heard Li Xuan say that a sentinel caught in a deep sensory fugue is like slipping into a black abyss of consciousness, unable to get out of it, and can only wait for death in a coma.

So, can I find him and bring him out?Jiang Liu closed his eyes and entered the heart-wrenching spiritual realm of the sentinel.The majestic castle he saw the last time he came here has now been disintegrated into countless bricks and stones, suspended in the darkness, forming a huge and messy chaos, the river pushed away a huge boulder in front of him, It slowly slid to the other end in the air, collided with another boulder, and turned into a ball of debris.

Gritting his teeth, Jiang Liu drifted to the depths of the ruins of the ancient castle.

The black wind whizzed over, sharp sound, dazzling light, intense pain... Excessive mixing of the five senses entangled together, forming a dark core domain, swirling like a black vortex.

Jiang Liu hesitated for a moment, wrapped his spiritual tentacles tightly, and entered cautiously.

Strong senses came from all directions, cutting Jiang Liu's consciousness like a knife, but, not wanting to give up, Jiang Liu struggled and moved closer to the center of the storm.The storm is getting more and more violent, and the river will be torn apart by the sensory storm at any time and dissipate in the darkness.

What would happen if I got lost here?Will the nurse find two unconscious people in the ward the next day?Jiang Liu laughed at himself slightly, then, he would never wake up again, never see that person again, that tall figure suddenly appeared in Jiang Liu's mind, he froze for a moment, and stopped where he was.

Holding Jiang Liu's clothes from behind with one hand, Jiang Liu turned around in surprise, and saw a little girl with white hair and white clothes, who was his spiritual body.

"Are you telling me not to go?" Jiang Liu looked at the expressionless little girl and asked.

The girl nodded.

"But I can't leave him alone, it's my fault."

The girl listened, indifferent, with a complicated expression on her face.

The surrounding storm became more intense, and Jiang Liu could hardly fix his body. He instinctively knew that the time left for the sentinel was running out.

"Trust me, please? I can bring him out, help me." Jiang Liu shouted to the girl, "I can do it, trust me."

The corner of the girl's mouth was pursed resolutely. After a moment, the girl stretched out her hand and pushed Jiang Liu forward.

Go, cruel man.The girl's lips read such a sentence, and she was still tumbling in the inexplicable river, falling to the deepest part of chaos.

Then, for a few heart-piercing seconds, all senses were maximized. The loud voice, chaotic bright light and pain all over his body almost drove Jiang Liu crazy. Dissipated in the chaos, at the moment when he felt that he was going to die, the surroundings became quiet for an instant, Jiang Liu felt that the surroundings stopped spinning, and he was floating in a dark, calm space.

where is thisJiang Liu raised his head in doubt, he saw around, those fragments of consciousness just now reflected faint light, like stars in the universe, slowly rotating in a distant place, as if he was in the center of the universe, There is only constant darkness and tranquility here.

At this time, Jiang Liu still doesn't know that this is the deepest, untouchable "well" in the spiritual realm of sentinels and guides.

"Ding Shiyang." Jiang Liu softly called the sentinel's name, his voice sounded extremely cold in the quiet space.

Not far away, following the sound, something flickered like breathing, and Jiang Liu turned and ran in that direction.

"Ding Shiyang?" Jiang Liu stopped before the twilight, and he saw the sentry, to be precise, it was the afterimage of the sentry.

Among the fragments of memory, the sentinel's body floats in the darkness, blurry and transparent, and slowly brightens and darkens like a firefly as he breathes. The faint light makes people feel that every breath may go out lights up.

"Ding Shiyang?" Jiang Liu called, approaching this fragile area cautiously, a fragment of memory brushed his cheek, and the memory of the sentinel merged into his brain. The smell of books, the cello sang slowly under the strings in the hands of the mother, and the boy sat on the window sill and fell asleep slowly to the sound of the piano.These fragile fragments are the sentinel, the most precious memory, accompanying him to the last moment of his life.

"Shi Yang?" Jiang Liu called again, and finally, the sentinel opened his eyes.

"It's you?" Joy instantly filled those tender eyes, but it made Jiang Liu's heart ache inexplicably.

"It's me, come with me, I'll take you back."

"With you? Are we together forever?"

Jiang Liu was taken aback for a moment, when another fragment of memory brushed his cheek, and he saw himself lying on the table in the counseling room.

"Take me away, I will marry you." Sentinel's ecstasy and attachment instantly filled his chest: I love him, and I am willing to give everything for him.

Jiang Liu took a step back. He didn't expect that his absurd and desperate behavior would become a memory cherished by the sentinel. He suddenly understood what the spirit body said to him just now: "Cruel."

"No, I've seen your heart, you won't combine with me." A blue mist appeared from sadness, covering the field, and Jiang Liu closed his eyes in pain.In this pure realm, everything is as transparent as glass, and no lies can hide it.

"You go, I want to stay here." The sentinel closed his eyes and shook his head. "There is only pain in the outside world, and you are my only nostalgia. Now, there is no more, I have no nostalgia." The sentinel opened his eyes, and took a last look at Jiang Liu, "But thank you, for being able to be here at the end. It's great to see you all the time."

Everything dimmed like burnt coals, and Jiang Liu saw that the sentinel was about to merge with the darkness.In the distance, the rumble of the sensory storm is approaching, heralding that this realm is about to collapse and merge into nothingness.

"I'm not the only one in this world, your relatives and friends are also there. Isn't there anything else worth living for?" Jiang Liu shouted anxiously, "How can you be so irresponsible? You will still meet Go to another guide! Why can't it be me?"

"Then why can't I do it!?" The sentinel suddenly opened his eyes and asked loudly. "Since you can't promise me, why do you want me to go back to that painful world!"

Jiang Liu was stunned, yes, why?

A gust of sensory wind howled, and Jiang Liu's mental barrier was torn apart, and he was torn into countless fragments of consciousness in an instant. In the surprised eyes of the sentinel, everything about Jiang Liu was displayed in front of the sentinel without reservation.

The pain of losing a loved one, the struggle in the counseling room, the concern for Li Xuan, the pity for the sentinel on the battlefield, and that tall and dark figure.

"You, why do you make yourself bear so much." The sentinel looked at Jiang Liu blankly, and Jiang Liu was speechless.

At this time, Jiang Liu only felt a tightness in his chest, as if a steel wire was pulling him up, pulling him away from the collapsed field, and Jiang Liu only had time to reach out to the sentinel...

With a jolt, Jiang Liu woke up, and found that he had fallen asleep beside the hospital bed, still holding the sentry's hand tightly.There was a misty morning light outside the window.

Are the Sentinels still there?How is he?

Jiang Liu raised his head in panic, but suddenly saw a white figure facing him, standing at the other end of the hospital bed, it was the little white girl, his spiritual body.

"Did you pull me out?" Jiang Liu asked anxiously, "Where's the sentinel?"

The girl glanced at Jiang Liu silently, and then disappeared into the air without a sound.

At this time, there was a slight sound on the bed, "Jiang Liu..."

Jiang Liu was surprised to see that the sentinel Shi Yang opened his eyes.

"You're awake, you're back." Jiang Liu held the sentinel's hand tightly and couldn't help crying. "Very good."

The sentinel looked at Jiang Liu calmly, "I am willing to follow you."

Jiang Liu raised his head and looked at the sentinel blankly. In the sentinel's eyes was a tenderness that Jiang Liu had never seen before. "I am willing to protect you with everything I have until the last moment of my life."

Jiang Liu couldn't understand it for a while, but at this moment, the footsteps of early risers sounded outside the door.

"Let's go, don't be seen." The sentinel pushed Jiang Liu's hand, and a big gray dog ​​tugged at Jiang Liu's trousers, and Jiang Liu stood up.

"I'll see you again tonight." Jiang Liu said, leaving the ward in a hurry.

And the sentinel's gentle eyes never left Jiang Liu.The moment Jiang Liu was about to step out of the ward, he suddenly heard the voice of the sentinel: "Do you know how cruel what you did?"

Jiang Liu stopped and turned around, "I'm sorry, because I'm a guide."

Jiang Liu saw the sentinel smiling, and the smile was as gentle as the morning glow.
