"So you agreed?" Du Qiwei said inarticulately, chewing the meat in his mouth.

"I agree." Zhang Xiao poked the broccoli on the plate, "Can you not agree...it's that one, the one I peep in your shop every day."

"People already knew you were peeping?" Du Qiwei continued to chew meat, "What about you, why are you eating vegetarian after coming to the barbecue restaurant? What kind of monk are you pretending to be?"

"I need to calm down now, and don't touch anything that is hot." Zhang Xiao coughed lightly and lowered his voice, "He already knew, and even counted how many sips I have to drink for a cup of coffee. It's so boring, such a handsome person, Why is it so boring?"

Du Qiwei: "...you should be with each other."

He ate a few plates of meat, but it was still not enough, so he raised his hand to order some more, and turned his head to see Zhang Xiao roasting broccoli wholeheartedly. Yes, my brother treats you, you can eat as much as you want."

Zhang Xiao looked at the meat, thought for a moment or shook his head: "No."

"What's the matter?" Du Qiwei started to roast the lamb in a hurry.

"I had a nosebleed today." Zhang Xiao said, "When that person was talking to me. I'm afraid I can't eat such hot food now."

Du Qiwei: "..."

Zhang Xiao swallowed a piece of broccoli and continued: "He may be the strongest sentinel I've ever seen, and I can feel it. But I'm not afraid of him, but... I just feel so excited, I can't speak .”

Du Qiwei: "You, when you faced a sentry, did you have a nosebleed?"

Zhang Xiao: "Yes."

Du Qiwei: "...do you still remember what was said in the first section of Chapter 3 of "General Knowledge of Wizards"?"

Zhang Xiao blushed: "This is a primary sexual reaction (*)..."

Du Qiwei was even more excited than him: "Zhang Xiao! Sexual reaction! You have sexual reaction! You are a normal guide!"

The two sat in the corner, even so, Du Qiwei's voice was still a bit loud.Zhang Xiao hurriedly covered his mouth and pressed him to sit down: "Hush!"

"I'm so anxious." Du Qiwei said, "You haven't even seen your own spiritual body, and you haven't even had a personality response for so many years. I really thought you would never be able to do it in this life."

Zhang Xiao went to poke the broccoli again, and listened to Du Qiwei's words.

As they grow older, Sentinels and Guides become more and more capable. They will be bound together by bonding, improving the synchronization rate of each other's senses, and playing an essential soothing effect on each other.Sentinels bound to guides will not lose control so easily, while guides bound to sentries will benefit from the opponent's powerful spiritual power.

Sentinels and guides naturally carry pheromones and can be sensed by each other. After entering puberty, their lymph glands will produce and emit a special pheromone: sex pheromone.Sex pheromone will trigger the sexual response of the sentinel or guide, which is the most direct way to find the object.However, sex pheromones are not attractive to everyone, and people who can feel each other's sex pheromones and respond appropriately are regarded as the most suitable "binding objects" for each other.After developing feelings with their binding object, the sentinel and guide can submit an application to designate the other party as their partner.

Companionship is the highest form of Sentinel-Guide union, and by many accounts, the most romantic.

Zhang Xiao was also sexually responsive before.Like all normal guides, he would be tempted by a handsome sentinel in the academy to make his body temperature rise, or he would sweat involuntarily when facing a powerful sentry who deliberately released sex pheromones.Some guides do not reject sexual reactions, but enjoy this signal very much. It means the possibility of finding a "binding object" or even a partner, or at least, it means a hearty physical fight.Because sexual response is a physiological expression that cannot be suppressed within a certain period of time, most sentries and guides have different sexual moral concepts from ordinary people. The procedure is very complicated, and some people are entangled in different binding objects all their lives, and never have a partner.

But Zhang Xiao is not like this: he dislikes his own sexual reactions, so he works hard to suppress them, and as time goes by, he hardly sees even the primary sexual reactions.

And it was so strong that he had a nosebleed, which was the first time.

The next day, he reported to the National Expo without hesitation.

The red building has no name, and everyone calls it the red building.This time it was Yuan Yiwei, the Spiderman on duty, who picked him up outside. After the two introduced each other, Yuan Yiwei took him into the red building.

There are three passages to enter the Cultural Management Committee, one of which is the Red Building.On Zhang Xiao's first day of registration, he had to enter the Cultural Management Committee through the official registration channel, and he could only enter and exit through other channels after obtaining the relevant password card.

The password card is about 0.5ml of colorless liquid. Yuan Yiwei took the injection gun and pressed it on Zhang Xiao's index finger, and the liquid was injected into it.

"A chip that stores and transmits information will be formed under your cortex, here." Yuan Yiwei showed him his index finger, "You must use a password card when entering and leaving the Cultural Management Committee, and the password card contacts instructions The panel will be able to read your identity. I will take you through another passage after work today, and if you think that passage is closer in the future, you can come from which passage.”

The process didn't hurt at all, Zhang Xiao was very curious and kept rubbing his fingers.There is a chip under the cortex, and he can't feel it at all.According to Yuan Yiwei's explanation, he leaned his index finger on the black button board of the elevator, and sure enough, he saw the "-18" button that Ying Changhe pressed that day surfaced.

As the elevator went down, Zhang Xiao asked Yuan Yiwei: "We are on the [-]th floor underground, so where is the [-]th floor above?"

"We cannot enter the seventeenth floor above." Yuan Yiwei showed his index finger, "The information stored in the chip only allows us to enter and exit the negative eighteenth floor. I only know that there are extremely dangerous cultural relics warehouses and zombies on it." Museum management committee, the rest is not clear."

"Zombie, Zombie?" Zhang Xiao was dumbfounded, "There really are zombies?"

"Even there are people like us, why can't zombies exist?" Yuan Yiwei laughed, "The zombies actually refer to semi-zombified human beings. They are different from real zombies. The United Nations recognizes their human rights. Speaking of Well, you know about the zombie affirmative action march in Johannesburg in 1995 (*)?"

Yuan Yiwei seemed to have opened up the chatterbox, and kept talking non-stop, Zhang Xiao was dizzy from hearing it.

When he arrived at the duty room, Yuan Yiwei took out a badge from the drawer and handed it to him: "Remember to wear the badge when you go to work in the future, otherwise you will be deducted money. Once you see it, you will be deducted [-]."

Zhang Xiao: "...with so many deductions, is there any documented regulation?"

Yuan Yiwei: "What kind of documents do you need? This is our small coffers for everyone to use together. By the way, Gao Qiong is the one who has deducted the most at present, the one you saw that day. His salary for this month has already been deducted." Gone."

As soon as he heard Gao Qiong's name, Zhang Xiao's face burned a little: his body temperature rose a little.

On the badge was a photo of Zhang Xiao, a handsome young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.Above his mugshot is an arched line of official script: Management Committee for the Recovery of Lost Cultural Relics.

"This badge is the same as Gao Qiong's." Zhang Xiao kept touching, "Hehehe... This is the first thing he and I have in common."

Yuan Yiwei: "...It's the same as mine."

But Zhang Xiao didn't listen.

On the first day spent at the Cultural Management Committee, Zhang Xiao was very disappointed.

Gao Qiong didn't come.

In Yuan Yiwei's explanation, Gao Qiong was the most unpunctual and difficult person in the cultural management committee.But he is a relative of Ying Changhe, and his nepotism is simple and clear, so no one dares to control him.It is common to arrive late and leave early. It is also common for field workers to register for only three days and see no one for a week.

Yuan Yiwei showed him around, but only within the Cultural Management Committee.A lot of offices are closed as they were back then, so there's not much to see.The two walked around boringly, and when they returned to the duty room, Zhang Xiao made a request: "Aren't I going to manage Chen Shiyi? Shouldn't Director Ying explain Chen Shiyi's situation to me?"

"He went to a meeting." Yuan Yiwei led him inside, "Let me explain to you."

Including Yuan Yiwei and Zhang Xiao, there are only three guides compiled by the Cultural Management Committee, and the one Zhang Xiao has not met has been transferred by the library to restore the books, and will not be able to return for the time being.But neither the unseen guide nor Yuan Yiwei has the ability to restore Chen Shiyi.According to what Ying Changhe said before, Chen Shiyi relied heavily on the spiritual body energy of the guide, but Zhang Xiao had never even seen his own spiritual body, and he faintly felt nervous and dazed as if he was in a thief's boat.

"As long as you are a guide, you must have a spiritual body. Even if the spiritual body does not appear, you still have the energy of the spiritual body." After being identified by palm prints and pupils, Yuan Yiwei took him into Chen Shiyi's protection zone.

Chen Shiyi's protection domain is actually a room with an identification function. It is not big. On both sides are two shelves reaching the ceiling, on which are placed many materials and many objects that Zhang Xiao cannot recognize.Chen Shiyi was stored in the black instrument in the center of the room, he remembered what Ying Changhe said.

From Zhang Xiao's point of view, this piece of iron is a bit rough and looks very unreliable.

"The specific operating procedures will be explained to you by me or Director Ying during the new employee training. There are books and materials to read. Just take notes when the time comes." Yuan Yiwei walked to the black instrument and said, " The books and materials are for the annual business assessment of the National Expo. In fact, the work content of the guide is very simple, that is, to use the energy of the spirit body to maintain the operation of Chen Shiyi when our people use Chen Shiyi to travel through time and space. .”

He bent down and opened the drawer of the black instrument, and took out a watch: "This is my Chen Shiyi, you can come and have a look."

Zhang Xiao: "...so small!"

Yuan Yiwei: "How big do you think it is?"

Zhang Xiao took the watch from Yuan Yiwei's hand and found that it was a watch-shaped theodolite.A piece of transparent glass is embedded on the dial, which seems to be filled with a colorless liquid, with many floating numbers.Zhang Xiao saw the marks of latitude and longitude and time.

The time is 1756.

"Wherever Chen Shiyi is, it will display the latitude, longitude and time of the current location. For example, it should display the latitude and longitude of the Cultural Management Committee and the year 2017." Yuan Yiwei pointed to him, "but the time is still the one I used last time. The year, it was broken, so it hasn’t been restored yet. It was during the Qianlong period, when there was an earthquake in Qingpu County, a gap was created in the ground, and there were treasures buried with it. Speaking of those treasures..."

"Will I have it too?" Zhang Xiao quickly interrupted him.

"Of course, everyone in the cultural management committee must wear Chen Shiyi." Yuan Yiwei said, "but they can't be used now. We must use Chen Shiyi to find lost cultural relics, so now the entire cultural management committee basically Paralyzed. You have to fix them."

Zhang Xiao: "...how to fix it?"

Yuan Yiwei thought for a while: "You may know it when you wear it on your hand."

Zhang Xiao felt that it was too unreliable.I should have really boarded the thief ship and couldn't get off.

He has a lot of questions he wants to ask, for example, isn't there only one Chen Shiyi, why are there all in one drawer?What does it mean to find lost artifacts?Isn't it the job of archaeologists to find cultural relics? What does it have to do with traveling through time and space?

Zhang Xiao straightened his mind, and was about to ask a question, when he heard the wall behind him crack and crack.

The two turned their heads and saw a thin woman with long hair standing outside the door.

"Yiwei, the hospital has issued a critical illness notice to Chen Yi, we have to go there immediately, and the crisis management staff may try to grab us."

Yuan Yiwei's expression changed drastically, he snatched Chen Shiyi from Zhang Xiao's hand and threw it back into the drawer, and pulled Zhang Xiao away: "You will be on duty for half a day for me, and I will treat you to dinner later."

"Who is Chen Yi?" Zhang Xiao quickly asked, "Is he also from the unit? What's wrong with him?"

"It was the guide who was in charge of repairing Chen Shiyi before you." Yuan Yiwei turned back and said as he walked, "Don't worry, managing Chen Shiyi is generally not that dangerous."

Zhang Xiao thought his last sentence was quite superfluous.

*: Primary sexual response: Mentioned in the first section of "Sexual Response" in "General Education of Guides" (special higher education "Eleventh Five-Year" national planning textbook) Chapter 3 "Sex and Sexual Common Sense", the sexual response of guides or sentinels There are three types: elementary, intermediate, and advanced. Primary sexual reactions generally manifest as increased blood pressure, increased body temperature, dilated pupils, and slight sweating. Some susceptible people may experience nasal bleeding, mental body color changes, and other reactions.

*Johannesburg Zombie Equality Parade: On December 1995, 12, a zombie parade broke out in Johannesburg, which triggered large-scale demonstrations of zombie crowds all over the world within six months.On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in 28, zombified human beings who needed to celebrate the holidays encountered various unfair treatments. The mainstream voice believed that they "are no longer human beings in the ordinary sense, and cannot enjoy the corresponding rights of human beings, including mail-order Christmas trees and shopping at Christmas. Hanging Christmas wreaths outside the house, etc."Through twitter, facebook and other social tools, about 1995 zombified human beings in South Africa joined the discussion on equal rights, and it quickly heated up in just two days, and finally a zombie parade broke out in Johannesburg.It is reported that the zombified humans participating in the parade accounted for 3% of the zombified humans in South Africa.This affirmative action march is also known as "Johannesburg Voice" or "Horn of the Golden Land". On June 5, 7645, the United Nations Security Council adopted the "Declaration on the Human Rights of Semi-zombified Humans" with 1997 votes and 6 votes against, including the permanent members, affirming the human rights of zombies.However, the declaration does not cover all the three major requirements (jobs, marriage, and reproduction) put forward by zombified humans.

The author has something to say: The focus of this chapter: nonsense in a serious manner.

The production of pheromones by the lymph glands is also nonsense.
