The Strongest Sentinel (12): He wants to get Gu Juntian.

Today was Saturday.

After leaving Zhou Qinghao’s residence, Gu Juntian first took a special car back home.

Mother Gu was very enthusiastic about her work. Ever since she started, she hadn’t come back, but their house was equipped with an air purification system, so there was not a speck of dust.

Gu Juntian lay on the bed, studying his spiritual sea and mental power, while thinking about how he should react and what he should do when he saw Liang Xia later.

Around noon, he went out and took a special car to the agreed-upon place.

It was a very ordinary restaurant for the sentinels, and such restaurants were all made up of soundproof booths.

Gu Juntian arrived at the private room on time, but there was no one inside.

He took out the communication terminal to ask if Liang Xia had arrived, and casually expressed some anticipation.

Not long after, Liang Xia arrived. At the same time, the wall of the private room cracked open, and a woman who looked to be in her thirties led a man who appeared to be much older than her out from inside.

Gu Juntian’s senses were very sharp, but even with these two people right in front of him, he couldn’t feel anything at all.

He used his overly agitated mental power in his mind, which was due to the ongoing fusion, to test it out, and immediately felt the mental barrier.

Among the man and woman in front of him, one was a powerful guide.

That man was muscular all over, obviously a sentinel, but the woman, at first glance, looks like she had been pampered all her life; she should be a guide.

Eighty percent of those who awakened as Sentinels were male, and only twenty percent were female.

On the contrary, eighty percent of those who awaken as guides are women, while only twenty percent are men.

Female guides have always outnumbered male guides.

He didn’t even know what their identities were…

Gu Juntian was just curious when he was enveloped by the mental barrier of the female guide opposite him. At the same time, her mental power surrounded him completely, gently invading his spiritual sea…

Gu Juntian: “!!!”

If it weren’t for the relentless effort he put into tormenting his own spiritual sea during this period, to the point where his control over it became very strong, he would have been discovered!

Fortunately, although the work of merging mental power was only halfway done, the mental power he brought to this world was too powerful, so the total amount of mental power he could control now had already surpassed that of the current guide.

Moreover, the sentinel’s spiritual sea was completely open only to the guide who was bonded with him, so the guide in front of him could not detect his abnormalities.

On the contrary, he, watching the strands of mental power invading his spiritual sea, learned a few methods of using mental power.

For example, hypnosis.

However, the other party’s hypnosis method was a bit outdated and could only hypnotize sentinels of a lower level. If the person being hypnotized had a strong will, this guide’s hypnosis wouldn’t work.

This guide used mental power to suggest to Gu Juntian, making Gu Juntian develop a fondness for her, and then smiled at Gu Juntian.

Gu Juntian thought this person smiled quite ugly; he only liked Zhou Qinghao’s cold and aloof demeanor, that was what really had charm!

But this person’s mental power kept giving him hints, making him feel that the person across from him was kind and trustworthy.

The woman in front of him was at least an A-level guide, and the man next to her should be her sentinel, at least S-level.

The nobles’ teaching of ordinary guides was very perfunctory, not teaching them anything useful at all. However, the guides from their own families clearly had a good grasp of the use of mental power.

Gu Juntian knew very well that he couldn’t suppress these two people and take them down.

Under the eaves, one must bow their head; he looked at the guide before him with the eyes of a son looking at his mother.

The guide was satisfied: “Child, you have suffered.”

Gu Juntian didn’t feel like he was suffering at all. At his strong insistence, Zhou Qinghao had already stopped restraining him and letting him move. Last night, he even slept holding Zhou Qinghao.

Simply delightful.

However, what people wanted to see was definitely not this… Gu Juntian showed a hint of distress.

He was now a half-guide, his mental power was different from that of a sentinel, and he had strong control over his mental power.

He casually adjusted his mental power fluctuations, making it seem like he was genuinely in a bad mood.

He could hide himself, not letting the person in front of him notice his discomfort, but in this situation, he couldn’t get any useful information from the other person’s mouth.

He figured it out, because he was just a D-level sentinel, these people didn’t take him seriously and were too lazy to talk to him more.

In the next two hours, Gu Juntian was put to the test in acting.

The guide in front of him was skilled in the art of conversation. She and her sentinel were in perfect harmony, expressing concern for Gu Juntian’s physical condition, empathizing with him, and deepening his hypnosis…

The female guide looked at Gu Juntian with compassion, even shedding tears for him. Then, while crying elegantly, she spoke ill of Zhou Qinghao to Gu Juntian, saying that all of Zhou Qinghao’s actions were to seize power, and that Zhou Qinghao, knowing he didn’t have long to live, was hostile towards those around him.

It was all nonsense!

Gu Juntian didn’t believe a single word.

He was willing to use his mental power to fool the other person, making them think he was afraid of Zhou Qinghao, but he didn’t want to speak ill of Zhou Qinghao. Back and forth, he just kept saying, “I will definitely get back at him…”

His little notebook was already filled with Zhou Qinghao’s “crimes.” He would definitely take revenge on Zhou Qinghao!

The guide and sentinel on the opposite side were unaware of Gu Juntian’s thoughts and were very satisfied with his reaction.

They said a lot, instructing Gu Juntian to monitor Zhou Qinghao, and in the end, they even gave Gu Juntian a pill: “This is a drug developed by the research institute that can control a person’s physical reactions. After taking this drug, even if you are still afraid of Zhou Qinghao, your body will not show any signs of fear…”

This kind of drug combined with the guide’s hypnosis could prevent Gu Juntian from showing any signs of guilt or fear when facing Zhou Qinghao.

Otherwise, Gu Juntian, a D-level sentinel, after chatting with them, would definitely reveal his true self in front of Zhou Qinghao.

The people they arranged to be by Zhou Qinghao’s side had basically all taken this drug.

This potion was colorless and tasteless; Zhou Qinghao wouldn’t be able to detect it.

Gu Juntian didn’t want to eat.

Who knew what this thing was!

The person across from him said again, “Don’t worry, this medicine is not toxic. It will be metabolized in a few days.”

Gu Juntian took the potion and drank it.

Of course, he didn’t actually eat it; he wrapped the medicine with his mental power and hid it in his mouth.

He was becoming increasingly skilled at using his mental powers, which was commendable!

It was just that he spent time coming here today, didn’t get any news, and was forced to take medicine by someone. It was a bit frustrating.

That pair of watchful companions finally left, and after they departed, Gu Juntian feasted heartily and was unwilling to settle the bill.

Liang Xia, who had been observing from the sidelines: What was going on with Gu Juntian? How could he make this guide pay again?

Gu Juntian sighed, “I don’t want to spend Zhou Qinghao’s money.”

The money on him all belonged to Zhou Qinghao; he wouldn’t spend it, he wanted to save it!

Actually, if it weren’t for the mediocre quality of the mutated beast meat at this shop, which didn’t match Zhou Qinghao, he would definitely pack some for Zhou Qinghao to take away.

Liang Xia had no choice but to obediently pay.

After Gu Juntian had eaten and drunk his fill, he took a taxi home and conveniently vomited out the medicine he hadn’t taken, then studied it for a bit.

This medicine really wasn’t poisonous, it shouldn’t kill anyone, and it truly had no smell, anyway, he couldn’t smell it.

After throwing away the medicine, Gu Juntian saw that it was about time, took a shower, and went to find Zhou Qinghao.

Actually, regarding the matter of contacting Liang Xia, Gu Juntian had considered confessing to Zhou Qinghao.

But he was not a guide yet!

Zhou Qinghao was indeed a love-struck fool, but he was also the decisive commander of Base One.

The day he arrived, Zhou Qinghao showed no mercy and stomped to death a high-ranking official of the base.

When Gu Juntian first saw this memory, he was determined to draw a clear line with Zhou Qinghao, lest Zhou Qinghao take advantage of the original owner’s infidelity and crush him.

Later, he fell in love with Zhou Qinghao at first sight, and the matter of drawing a clear line was put on hold. But talking to Zhou Qinghao about Liang Xia, wasn’t that asking for trouble?

Even if Zhou Qinghao truly loved him and couldn’t bear to hurt him, he would definitely be unhappy and might even break up with him.

As for him saying he was a guide… no one would believe him if he said that now.

According to the original plot, the original owner’s interaction with Liang Xia was something Zhou Qinghao was currently unaware of, and he only found out before his death. Given this, Gu Juntian simply didn’t mention it.

Wait until he became a guide to confess, it was not like there were many days left anyway.

As for what happened today… Gu Juntian sighed.

He wanted to gather some information, but in the end, he didn’t find out anything at all, which was quite embarrassing.

Forget it, he would confess everything once he became a guide.

According to the Guide Protection Association, Sentinels could not lay a hand on Guides. So even if Zhou Qinghao got angry, he wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.

However, going alone today to meet Liang Xia and the people behind him was really a bit too much.

From now on, he needed to be more careful.

In his mind, he possessed powerful mental strength. Based on his perception of that guide’s mental strength today, the total amount of mental strength he possessed should far exceed that of an S-level guide.

He was super S-level, just like Zhou Qinghao.

If he really had to fight that couple, he would fight to the death. Even if he couldn’t win, he could still escape.

But if he really did that, the speed of becoming a guide would definitely slow down, which would delay the treatment of Zhou Qinghao!

He spent every day with Zhou Qinghao, so he understood Zhou Qinghao’s condition. Zhou Qinghao’s spiritual sea wouldn’t hold out much longer.

What if he encountered an accident during this period? What would Zhou Qinghao do?

Gu Juntian thought about it for a while and suddenly realized that Zhou Qinghao’s home should be very safe.

Previously, he was afraid that Zhou Qinghao would see his mental power going out of control and worry about him, so he chose to leave during the day.

But now that he thought about it carefully… During the day, Zhou Qinghao was always out and never at home. Actually, if he stayed in Zhou Qinghao’s bedroom and waited for Zhou Qinghao to leave before converting his mental power, wouldn’t that work too?

As for the original owner’s studies… Zhou Qinghao and the others were about to leave Base One, and he would definitely leave with them, destined to be unfinished.

Realizing that he couldn’t extract any secrets from Liang Xia, Gu Juntian immediately decided to seclude himself with Zhou Qinghao until he completely transformed into a Guide.

Of course, he would have such thoughts because these days, his relationship with Zhou Qinghao had become increasingly close.

When he first came here, even though he and Zhou Qinghao were a couple, their relationship was not like that at all!

Now it was different; now, when it came to Zhou Qinghao, he could kiss him whenever he wanted!

After making the decision, Gu Juntian asked the school for a leave of absence, saying that as a sentinel, he wanted to undergo relevant training to prepare for killing mutated beasts in the future, so he wouldn’t be going to school for the time being.

In the past, after awakening as a sentinel, it was mandatory to join the military, and one couldn’t continue their studies at all. Now, although the situation had improved a bit because of Zhou Qinghao’s presence, if a sentinel wanted to join the military and serve the base, the school couldn’t stop them.

The vacation was quickly approved, and Gu Juntian happily entered Zhou Qinghao’s house, only to find it pitch dark inside.

If it weren’t for his keen senses, he might have thought Zhou Qinghao wasn’t home!

“Why didn’t you turn on the lights?” Gu Juntian asked, puzzled, and then shouted, “Turn on the lights.”

The room was brightly lit.

Gu Juntian saw Zhou Qinghao.

Although during this period, Zhou Qinghao could sleep a little at night, he still felt the deep exhaustion accumulated over the years.

This blend of exhaustion mixed with his fierce aura created a unique charm, which Gu Juntian really liked anyway.

Of course, he hoped that Zhou Qinghao wouldn’t be so exhausted; he wished for Zhou Qinghao to be spirited and high-spirited.

At this moment, seeing Zhou Qinghao’s slightly furrowed brow, Gu Juntian wanted to smooth out his brow, and, well, maybe steal a few more kisses.

Thinking this, Gu Juntian was walking towards Zhou Qinghao, but at that moment, he was picked up by Zhou Qinghao again.

Today, Zhou Qinghao’s spiritual sea seems a bit off, but his behavior was no different from before.

Zhou Qinghao picked him up, carried him back to the bedroom, and threw him onto the bed once again.

Gu Juntian wanted to say something, but Zhou Qinghao covered his mouth with his lips and started tearing his clothes.

The strength of the elite sentinel was indeed very great; anyway, Zhou Qinghao just tore his clothes with a casual rip, and they came apart.

Gu Juntian: “……” wasn’t this progress a bit too fast? Couldn’t they wait a few more days? He still couldn’t suppress Zhou Qinghao!

When Zhou Qinghao smelled the faint scent on Gu Juntian, his mind went blank, and he couldn’t remember anything.

He knew what this tasted like.

His perception was very keen, even more useful than the most advanced lie detector.

When others talked to him, whether what they say was true or false, he could easily distinguish between the two by analyzing their micro-expressions, breathing rate, blood flow speed, heartbeat, and other bodily signs.

Those powerful figures were afraid that the people they had placed beside him would be discovered by him, so they made those people take this kind of drug. Combined with the guide’s hypnosis and mental barriers, it prevented him from noticing anything wrong with them.

This medicine was colorless and tasteless, at least to others, it appeared colorless and tasteless.

But his mental strength was truly too strong; he could sense it.

This made him clearly know who he could trust and who he couldn’t trust.

Some of the people who betrayed him had once been loyal to him. He once thought that they had no choice or were threatened by others to betray him, but later he found out that the drugs those powerful people gave to these individuals were not poisonous.

As for the guide’s mental hypnosis, it had no effect on those with strong willpower.

So, those who betrayed him were the ones who wanted to betray him in the first place.

Gu Juntian was the same.

Speaking of which, Gu Juntian’s attitude towards him had changed drastically during this period, and he didn’t seem to be as afraid of him as before. Could it be because a high-level guide had set up a mental barrier for Gu Juntian?

He remembered that Gu Juntian only changed his attitude towards him after he stepped on and killed the governor’s son.

The governor’s wife was an S-level guide.

That guide was very powerful; she wanted to make a D-level sentinel show fewer flaws in front of him, which was completely possible.

Zhou Qinghao’s mind was a complete mess.

A while ago, Gu Juntian treated him really well, and Gu Juntian’s body didn’t reject him at all; in fact, it even liked him a lot.

He even started to believe that Gu Juntian genuinely liked him and was just playing around with that guide.

But now… all of this was fake. Gu Juntian didn’t like him. Gu Juntian’s attitude towards him had changed drastically. It was just a trap set by the ruling faction.

No wonder, he did something very excessive to Gu Juntian, but Gu Juntian didn’t mind at all and even came to find him the next day as if nothing had happened.

Why was Gu Juntian getting close to him and seducing him? Was there some mission?

What did the governor promise Gu Juntian? Was he going to give him a guide?

Zhou Qinghao’s mood was complicated.

He really liked Gu Juntian. Before, he was afraid that Gu Juntian would hate him, so he didn’t dare to actually do anything to Gu Juntian.

He didn’t want Gu Juntian to remember him as an old pervert when he was old.

He hoped to leave some beautiful memories for Gu Juntian.

But now… in Gu Juntian’s eyes, perhaps he was never good from the beginning to the end.

In Gu Juntian’s eyes, he might have always been an old man who forced others.

Since that was the case, he didn’t need to suppress himself either.

He wanted to get Gu Juntian.
