Sentinels and guides, like zombies and underground people, are classified as special groups.

They must spend their entire lives in the company of their guardians.

The guardian system requires that the guardian must regularly report the relevant situation of the ward to the special population management committee.It's called protection, appeasement, or responsibility, but it's actually surveillance in disguise.The ability to be much stronger than ordinary people makes them a useful "human being", but it also implies more unstable factors.

In most cases, the guardian is their parent, relative or partner.If they have no parents or a partner, the special population management committee will appoint someone to be their guardian.If parents, relatives or partners themselves are special groups, they are also under the supervision of other guardians.

When sentries and guides without parents live in orphanages or schools, their guardians will register as a whole under the name of the orphanage or school.During Zhang Xiao’s years of studying at the New Hope Advanced Management Institute, the name of the school was filled in the guardian column in his file.

But he has graduated now, and after graduation his guardian must be changed.When going through the graduation procedures, Zhang Xiao registered the names of his parents.

Ying Changhe was handling the file takeover procedures for him, so he discovered the mistake.

"Until your parents haven't completed the treatment and the doctor hasn't issued a certificate, they can't act as your guardian." Ying Changhe explained to him, "You have to change it, otherwise the files won't fall to us."

Zhang Xiao was a little embarrassed: "I don't have any other relatives."

"Not one?" Ying Changhe was a little surprised, "Your parents were born and raised here..."

"Yes, they are all ordinary people. But when I was born, I found a mutated chromosome in my body during a blood test, and was soon registered as a guide. After that, those relatives have no contact with us." Zhang Xiao scratched his chin, " Director, you also know that many ordinary people still misunderstand us, and my second uncle always thought that after I passed, he would instruct the big gecko to demolish his house."

Ying Changhe: "..."

The two looked at each other in blank dismay, both feeling a little embarrassed.

"Forget it, I'll come up with a solution." Ying Changhe said, "Have you visited your parents recently?"

"I haven't been there in the past two years." Zhang Xiao thought for a while, "It's been a long time."

"Why don't you go?"

"I can't get in. The hospital's security check has been upgraded, and the sentries and guides are required to release their spirit bodies first to pass the verification, but I didn't." Zhang Xiao lowered his eyelids, "And they are afraid of me, so I can't get close."

Ying Changhe was taken aback: "Afraid of you?"

Zhang Xiao nodded: "Obviously both of them are ordinary people, but as soon as I got to that floor, they started screaming and smashing things. Usually, they are fine when I don't go, but the doctor said my mother is still there. I especially like to sing, and I sing colorful clouds and clouds flying in the sky with Auntie Lark in the next ward every day. But every time I go to them, the condition will deteriorate, and I have to wear restraints and sedatives, otherwise I won’t be able to calm down.”

Ying Changhe has seen Zhang Xiao's file, which only says that when he was 12 years old, his parents suddenly suffered from mental illness and lost the ability to supervise him. Zhang Xiao's guardian was changed to the middle school he attended.He also heard about Zhang Xiao's situation from Zhang Xiao's mentor, but he did not specifically mention his family or relatives.

This was the first time Ying Changhe knew that the situation of Zhang Xiao's parents was so serious.

Zhang Xiao, who was talking about these things, was very calm. Realizing that Ying Changhe's eyes showed some pity, he even smiled embarrassedly: "It's nothing."

He seemed to really think that these were nothing.These misfortunes flowed through his life like water without leaving any trace, and like all young people in their twenties, he still had many joys that should not be understood by Changhe.

Ying Changhe couldn't criticize anymore.

"Forget it." He gave up his original idea, "You go to Yuan Yiwei tomorrow, and he will explain to you about Chen Shiyi and our request for field work. Let's go back today."

Zhang Xiaoru was amnesty, and was very grateful: "Director, you are so kind, you are so kind. Since I don't criticize anymore, let Gao Qiong forget it?"

"Gao Qiong can't do it, that must be criticized." Ying Changhe said, "He didn't lie to you to pay him the fine, did he? It cannot be handled."

Zhang Xiao: "..."

He has already given Gao Qiong 100 yuan, because he brought the mobile phone into the protection domain.

Ying Changhe: "Have you been deceived?"

Zhang Xiao: "No, no."

Ying Changhe was full of suspicion: "You youngsters, it's easy to get carried away by love..."

Zhang Xiao: "It's not love, it's not love..."

Ying Changhe ignored his excuse and didn't believe it at all, bent over to search for something in the drawer.Zhang Xiao remembered something, and asked him quickly: "Do you remember what you promised me last time?"

"Remember, two years, right." Ying Changhe raised his bald head, "After two years, you will definitely be transferred to an ordinary position in the National Expo, sweeping the floor is fine, but you will not be in any special talent position, right?"

Zhang Xiao nodded.

"Is that why you don't like being a guide?" Ying Changhe stood up holding a few books, "I suspect now that you can't summon your own spiritual body because your subconscious is resisting it."

Zhang Xiao was noncommittal and could only smirk.

Ying Changhe gave the book to Zhang Xiao and asked him to take it home and read it carefully.The cover designs of several books are similar, with a few hot silver characters on it: Jude Law (*).

"This is a series of novels that I particularly like. It is very inspiring. Take it back and read it carefully."

"Isn't the story of Jude Law very scary?" Zhang Xiao said, "I've seen a movie called "Into the Valley of the Dead", and the big boss in it is Jude Law..."

"That's slander!" Ying Changhe said angrily, "Jude Law is a hero! Take it back and read it! After reading it in a month, write me a review of no less than [-] words!"

There were a few books in the satchel, which was very heavy. Zhang Xiao was out of breath after walking all the way back to the Tsinghua community.

Du Qiwei was eating noodles in a large porcelain bowl. Seeing that Zhang Xiao had come home, he immediately asked him to eat with him.

Zhang Xiao just had a light meal at Jiuge Milk Tea at noon. After running all afternoon, he was really hungry. He sat down and ate most of the noodles without snoring.It wasn't delicious, but at least he was at home, and he had a good time eating it.

He and Du Qiwei haven't seen each other for another week.Du Qiwei, who is busy with various part-time jobs, has now tasted the sweetness of being a paparazzi. He quit most of his part-time jobs, only kept the one in the cafe, and devoted himself to being a paparazzi for the rest of the time.

Recently, I was filming a popular movie star. All the paparazzi knew that she had an illegitimate daughter, but they just couldn't get one. It was quite sad.Du Qiwei regards this as a big challenge and is full of energy.His spiritual body is a majestic black eagle, which gave him great help in his paparazzi career.

Du Qiwei can tell Zhang Xiao about his job content, but Zhang Xiao can't tell him any details about the work of Chen Shiyi and the Cultural Management Committee.Du Qiwei expressed his understanding, and changed the subject very quickly: "Have you made any progress with that sentinel?"

"We went out to work together." Zhang Xiao thought for a while, "Some things happened, good and bad, but they were all very interesting."

Du Qiwei looked at him with loving eyes like looking at a child: "Are you happy?"

Zhang Xiao smiled.

He stared at Gao Qiong before, out of self-satisfaction knowing that there was no possibility of development.But now this mood has become concrete, like the secret place that was originally shrouded in mist, finally showing a clearer outline.He can't have it, but he can see it.It becomes more concrete day by day, Zhang Xiao enjoys this gradually concrete process, as for whether he can reach it or enter it, he has never thought about it carefully, let alone longing for it.

"Happy." He replied with a smile.

The next day, according to Ying Changhe's request, he went to find Yuan Yiwei to study.

Yuan Yiwei and Zhou Sha settled accounts in the meeting room.Yuan Yiwei helped Zhou Sha read the items to deduct money: "Gao Qiong, I was late eighteen times. Zhou Sha, I was late once. Gao Qiong, I touched treasures four times without authorization. Gao Qiong, I forgot to turn off the lights twice after being on duty. Gao Qiong , brought food into the protection area 23 times..."

"Stop reading, there is no money." Zhou Sha said, "My god, how does Gao Qiong live? His salary in December is gone, and it all went into the small treasury."

Zhang Xiao was very curious: "Isn't Gao Qiong living in Director Ying's house? He is a relative of Director Ying. How dare you hold him so hard?"

"Director Ying is quite ruthless in deducting our money, you don't know." Zhou Sha didn't raise his head, and desperately crossed the column that belonged to Gao Qiong on the form, "But Gao Qiong didn't have much money in the first place. That buckle, I really feel sorry for him."

"Temporary workers are only about [-] yuan a month." Seeing that Zhang Xiao was surprised, Yuan Yiwei explained to him, "Gao Qiong is basically supported by the subsidy for going out to work."

This was the first time Zhang Xiao heard that Gao Qiong was a temporary worker.Gao Qiong is the most powerful sentinel he has ever come into contact with. Such a person is just a temporary worker?

"I haven't passed the written test, so I can't even get into the interview." Zhou Sha said, "Temporary workers also have to take the test now, and the control is very strict."

"Is the written test difficult?" Zhang Xiao asked her, "I think it's quite simple."

"It's not difficult, it's all basic questions, but Gao Qiong can't write many social science questions, but science and technology is pretty fast." Zhou Sha looked up at Yuan Yiwei, "It was the two of us who corrected the exam, right? The dome part is particularly serious."

Zhang Xiao leaned over and asked, "Sister, do you know where Gao Qiong University is studying? Where is his hometown? Who is there at home?"

"I don't know! Little gossip!" She said fiercely, "Yiwei and I have to go to the crisis office at nine o'clock for a meeting, and you still have 45 minutes for class."

Yuan Yiwei had a few sheets of paper spread out in front of him, he asked Zhang Xiao to sit down, and explained to him what the Culture Management Committee was going to do through Chen Shiyi.

"I know this." Zhang Xiao said, "Spatial transition."

Yuan Yiwei raised his eyebrows: "You actually know? Okay, let's move on to the next question."

"I know this too." Zhang Xiao said, "We are not looking for cultural relics, we are looking for clues about where the cultural relics exist."

Zhou Sha, who was lying on his stomach and knocking on the calculator, sat up straight.

"This is a secret job of the Cultural Management Committee. No one has ever told you about it. Where did you hear it?" Her expression was extremely serious. strength.

He hurriedly stammered: "Gao, Gao Qiong... Yesterday, when he was on the job, he told me."

After a while, the real sense of oppression around him disappeared.

"Gao Qiong said that?" Zhou Sha looked suspicious, "Will he tell you this?"

Zhang Xiao was at a loss: "Why didn't you say it?"

"Based on a month's calculation, Gao Qiong can tell us one sentence a day on average." Yuan Yiwei explained to him, "He talks a lot to Ying Changhe, an average of two sentences a day. He really told you What is our job?"

Zhang Xiao: "...Well, he said at least fifty sentences to me yesterday."

He made the calculations and added a few more words to satisfy his vanity.

"I'll go..." Zhou Sha was shocked, "Really?"

Zhang Xiao: "Didn't you ask him to teach me?"

Zhou Sha: "I'm just lazy. Oh my god, Gao Qiong won't have a crush on you, will he?"

Zhang Xiao: "I can't..."

"Then why are you smiling?" Zhou Sha reached out and pinched his nose, "Why are you blushing?"

She was getting close, Zhang Xiao felt a little scared.Although Zhou Sha did not release the power of the spirit body, the oppressive feeling of that powerful creature still seemed to linger on her body, vaguely affecting Zhang Xiao.

When Zhou Sha stretched out his hand in front of him, he suddenly remembered something.

The top-secret document of the Crisis Office mentioned that Chen Yi was attacked by a sentry.The spirit body of this Sentinel is a snake, which is poisonous.
