The Guide to the End of the World: Four Sentinels Compete for Favor

The person who was dragged down and pressed to the ground by Yi Shenshou and pinned down with half of his body strength was Sang Mingying.

After seeing clearly who the other person was, Yi Shenshou subconsciously relaxed his grip. His knee was now against Sang Mingying's vest. Not to mention the weight of an adult man, even this posture was not very appropriate.

As the force on his body loosened, Sang Mingying immediately rolled over to the wall, holding his chest and coughing violently.

Although Yi Shenshou let her go, he did not relax his vigilance. He stood up, blocked the direction of the exit calmly, and asked, "Junior Sister Mingying, why are you here?"

Sang Mingying coughed for a long time, almost to the point of retching, but Yi Shenshou was not moved at all. Seeing that there was no possibility of getting away with it, she supported herself on the floor, raised her head, and said tremblingly: "Brother, I was forced to do this, please don't tell the teacher, okay? I don't want to be kicked out, please."

Yi Shenshou frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Tears as big as beans welled up in Sang Mingying's eyes, and her voice was filled with tears. "It was Pang Kun. He just came to me and said that he was kicked out of the Academy of Sciences by you for no reason, and that all his hard work over the past ten years wasted. He couldn't swallow this humiliation, and said that he must teach you a lesson before he leaves, so he forced me to come here and shut down the security system of the laboratory."

"Senior Brother..." Sang Mingying stretched out her hand to pull Yi Shenshou's trouser leg, but Yi Shenshou took a half step back to avoid her hand. Sang Mingying pulled in vain, and her hand was on the ground. Pearl-like tears fell on the back of her hand. She choked and said, "I really can't bear the consequences of being exposed for what he threatened me. I can't resist at all. I had no choice but to agree to him. Please don't tell the teacher that you saw me here today, okay? I haven't done anything yet, really."

Yi Shenshou did not agree to her request, nor did he follow her words to ask what Pang Kun was threatening her with. Instead, he asked, "How did you open the door to the security equipment room?"

Sang Mingying was stunned and whispered, "Pang Kun's family had some money before the end of the world, and he bought a backup of his ID card from the administrator..."

"The security system was upgraded after he sneaked into the laboratory and destroyed precious samples. He had already been kicked out of the laboratory at that time. Why did he still buy an ID card?" Yi Shenshou asked calmly and sharply.

Sang Mingying lowered her head, her brain working at high speed. Before she could come up with a reasonable explanation, Yi Shenshou's voice suddenly became sharp: "Did you have anything to do with the theft of the underground laboratory?"

He and his teacher once analyzed the causes and consequences of the theft in the underground laboratory. Although neither of them said it out loud, they basically believed that the Speaker had sent someone to steal the reagents.

In fact, he has always had a question in his mind. At that time, the monitoring and pressure-sensing alarm devices in the underground laboratory were turned off, but there was no sign of a forced break-in in the security equipment room. He originally thought that the people sent by the Speaker must have the most advanced technology and means. Now it seems that it is also possible that there is a traitor in their laboratory.

Sang Mingying shuddered, avoiding his gaze, and shook her head repeatedly, saying, "No, I don't know anything about this senior brother who has nothing to do with me."

"It has nothing to do with you, it has to do with him." Yi Shenshou asked coldly, "Where is Pang Kun? What does he want to do by asking you to shut down the security system this time?"

"I dare not ask about his affairs, senior brother. He is really scary. He got me drunk and took a video of me. I dare not disobey him at all. Woo——" Sang Mingying covered her face and sobbed, her lonely shoulders shaking.

Yi Shenshou pursed his lips tightly, took a deep breath, and said, "What did he tell you? If you are really threatened by him, you must not let him continue to make mistakes."

Sang Mingying covered her face and said softly, "He asked me to turn off the security system, and what happened next has nothing to do with me. As long as I can handle this matter, he will return all the backups of the video to me. I really don't know what he wants to do, brother."

"Then where should he return the video to you?" Yi Shenshou asked.

"He seems to be afraid of being found by someone, and is now hiding in the abandoned school hospital."

Yi Shenshou quickly made up his mind and said with lowered eyes: "Get up, let's go find him together and get back what you want."

Yi Shenshou did not believe everything Sang Mingying said, so he would definitely not let Sang Mingying stay here alone.

Sang Mingying slowly stood up, holding onto the wall. She said uncertainly, "Brother, Pang Kun is a B-class sentinel. We are no match for him, right?"

Yi Shenshou said: "You don't have to worry about this."

The people from the Security Bureau are in the school. The Captain He just now is also an SP-level sentry. He will go upstairs to call Yuan Xiaodan first, and then go to the gymnasium to see the teacher, and ask Captain He to go to the school hospital together to control Pang Kun. Once Pang Kun is caught, everything will be clear.

Sang Mingying breathed a sigh of relief. She bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes. She said with relief, "That's great, Senior Brother. That's great. You don't know how much pain I've been going through recently. Sometimes I even wanted to just jump off the building of the Institute of Biology and put an end to it all. It would be better than being tortured by him like this."

Yi Shenshou's tone softened a bit, and he said gently, "Don't think like that, it's not your fault."

Sang Mingying shook her head: "Brother, you don't understand. Being a woman is too difficult."

Yi Shenshou didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only say, "Let's go and solve the problem at hand first."

Sang Mingying responded and took a step forward. The moment her ankle touched the ground, she screamed in pain and fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Yi Shenshou reached out to support her. Sang Mingying leaned into his arms and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother. I think I sprained my ankle."

Yi Shenshou asked her to stand against the wall, his handsome brows slightly frowned. Pang Kun might escape at any time, and now time was running out, but she was unable to move.

Sang Mingying bit her lip and said, "Brother, I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble again. I'm fine, I can leave."

After saying that, she gritted her teeth, tiptoed and held onto the wall, slowly moving towards the exit.

Yi Shenshou thought for a moment, then quickly walked to Sang Mingying's side and said, "I'll support you."

Sang Mingying looked at him in surprise: "Senior Brother..."

Yi Shenshou held her shoulders and walked with her to the elevator as quickly as possible.

Sang Mingying walked with some difficulty. She held Yi Shenshou's arm tightly with one hand and leaned against his body. The other hand hung at her side. She panted and asked, "Brother, I just said that being a woman is too difficult. Why didn't you respond?"

Yi Shenshou paused, and his voice returned to its usual gentleness and distance: "I am not you, I have never experienced your difficulties, and I have no right to say anything."

Sang Mingying laughed and said, "Indeed, you really can't understand that people can't understand each other."

Yi Shenshou didn't say anything. He only heard Sang Mingying whispering, "We are all students of the teacher, but the teacher only takes you with him in everything. I am not inferior to you in any way, but the teacher always has only you in his eyes."

Yi Shenshou stopped and keenly sensed that something was wrong. He was about to push Sang Mingying away when he suddenly felt a pain in his waist. Almost instantly, he was struck by a strong sense of dizziness. Yi Shenshou staggered and held onto the wall, then slid to the ground weakly.

In his last glance before falling into coma, he saw Sang Mingying throw a syringe the length of his little finger on the ground, and a cold voice drilled into his mind.

"Don't be afraid, it's just an extract of some secondary evolved hallucinogenic fungus. Brother, you see, even without your resources, I can do as well as you."
