Relying on one's own hair

Planet Ω, in the outskirts of City A in District 9, the Olive Tree Rehabilitation Sanatorium.

At a quarter to seven in the morning, a medium van pulled up outside the west gate of the nursing home.

The driver's name is Qiao Ran, a rare pure-blooded Asian in this era, 24 years old, with black hair and black eyes, height of 174 cm, thin body, sickly pale complexion, as cold as porcelain.

He was wearing a white T-shirt and a blue overalls with straps, and a blue work cap on his head, covering his long and handsome eyebrows and eyes drawn in ink.

There are various vegetables painted on the compartment of the truck, such as cabbage, pumpkin, sweet peas, tomatoes, lettuce, and broccoli, surrounded by a fancy advertisement in the middle - "Green vegetables are beautiful in your heart, just make you beautiful."

The Olive Tree Rehabilitation Sanatorium is a high-end nursing institution. The medical facilities in the hospital are very advanced and the conditions are very good in all aspects, but ordinary people cannot enter even if they have money.Because this is a subordinate property of the Federation L8765 Corps, it is only open to soldiers of this Corps.

Xinxinmei Green Vegetable Planting Base was run by the nephew of an active colonel in the army. It produces green, healthy and pollution-free vegetables and is one of the food suppliers for the nursing home.Qiao Ran is a vegetable delivery worker in the freight department of the base, and is responsible for delivering vegetables to the nursing home.

Qiao Ran has been in and out of the nursing home almost every day for a year. Carter, one of the guards guarding the gate, is already very familiar with him. After seeing him, he didn't check his ID, but only checked the goods loaded on the car with a scanner.

Carter is a C-rank Sentinel whose spirit is a Caucasian Hound.When the owner was checking the carriage, this mighty-looking large dog stuck out its tongue and wagged its tail at Qiao Ran, like a friendly watchdog. Qiao Ran almost couldn't resist getting out of the car and snoring its dog's head.

However, Carter was on duty, and it would not be a good thing to be too close to his spiritual body, so Qiao Ran held back.

As for why Qiao Ran could see the spirit body of the sentry, it was because he was a guide—to be exact, he used to be.

Qiao Ran awakened her ability to guide when she was seven years old, but one day she inexplicably lost her spiritual body not long after.

It has been 3000 years since humans migrated from the Milky Way to this planet, and in the past 1000 years, two special humans with superpowers have gradually differentiated-sentries and guides.

Sentinels have extraordinary five senses and physical abilities, but are prone to mental problems due to sensory overload; guides are weak in physique, but possess strong spiritual power, which can soothe the sentry's mental trauma. The two complement each other and rely on each other.Both sentinels and guides have their own spiritual bodies - some kind of high-dimensional creatures condensed with spiritual power, which ordinary people cannot see and touch.

These two special groups account for a quarter of all human beings, and the number of guides is relatively small, only about a quarter of sentinels.The awakening time of the sentinel guides comes first and later, most people are in the puberty period from the age of thirteen or fourteen, and those who are late may be delayed until adulthood.

It is extremely rare for someone like Qiao Ran to awaken before the age of ten. Because of this, no one else in the orphanage connected his abnormal behavior during that time with him.And Qiao Ran was still young at that time, and he didn't have much knowledge of sentinel guides, so he couldn't figure out what was going on.

He just had a fever for a few days, and after the fever subsided, he found that there was a fluffy animal beside him, with white fur all over and four hooves, like a little white sheep, who was very close and understanding with him.Qiao Ran liked this lamb very much, and named it Xiaobai.

However, the other children and teachers in the orphanage couldn't see Qiao Ran's lamb, and everyone thought he was talking to himself in the air, or playing with his imaginary little friend.Given that this is often the case with some withdrawn and autistic children, the teachers don't pay much attention.

A few days later, the orphanage organized the children to visit the museum. After returning, Qiao Ran had a high fever for some reason and fell into a coma for three days. After waking up, Xiao Bai disappeared. come out.Qiao Ran was very anxious, so she ran outside the orphanage to look for it, but was almost hit by a car on the road.

Grandma Mary asked Qiao Ran what was going on, but Qiao Ran was confused and couldn't explain why. She just looked for her lamb with tears in her eyes.Grandma Mary found something was wrong, so she took him to a special guide hospital.

The doctor did not ask for a result, so he performed a brain examination on Qiao Ran, and found that he was a one-in-a-kind early awakening guide. However, some of the brain nerves were severely damaged, which was almost irreparable. If you can't visualize your spiritual power, you will lose your ability to guide.

The only thing that could prove that Qiao Ran had been awakened was that he could still see the spirit body of the sentinel, other than that, he was no different from an ordinary person, which both the doctor and Grandma Mary felt very sorry for.

Qiao Ran was also very sad. She cried secretly several times by herself, but life was still going on, and she had to accept this fact slowly after a long time.

He was originally an orphan and grew up in an orphanage. He didn't have any big ambitions, as long as he had enough food, clothing and warmth to live happily.It was a surprise that the lamb could play with him for a week, as no other kid had it, so I couldn't be too greedy.

After that, Qiao Ranshun grew up smoothly and went to school like other ordinary children in the orphanage.

Qiao Ran studies very hard, but her grades have always been mediocre, she doesn't cause trouble and there is nothing outstanding, her performance is mediocre.But he also has an ideal, that is to join the army.Because more than 80% of the Sentinels from the entire Federation were concentrated in the army, and most of these Sentinels had fluffy animals in their spirits. For Qiao Ran, it was simply heaven.

That's right, ever since possessing a fluffy mental body like a flash in the pan, Qiao Ran has become a hopeless and severe fluffy fan.Unfortunately, he was born allergic to real animal fur, and he would cry, cough, sneeze, and develop rashes all over his body when he touched it.In severe cases, shock may occur, and medication and injections are not very effective.For the sake of his own life, Qiao Ran could only keep a certain distance from the fluffy ones.

Fortunately, Qiao Ran didn't have any adverse reactions to such high-dimensional creatures as spirit bodies, and those fluffy spirit bodies were also very friendly to him.Moreover, rubbing a few can also soothe Qiao Ran's traumatized nerves and relieve the migraines that would occur for a few days every month. It's like God mercifully opened one for him after blocking his door. small window.

But firstly, he had no guiding ability, and secondly, his physique was relatively weak. Qiao Ran's conditions were not up to standard, and he failed to enlist in the army, so his dreams were shattered.He had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. After graduating from university, he found a job that he could often deal with soldiers through his own efforts, which was to enter Xinmei and deliver food to the Olive Tree Rehabilitation and Sanatorium with military background.

Xinxinmei has dozens of customers, large and small. Nursing homes are not the ones with the largest demand for vegetables, but they are the most important.There are also dozens of vegetable delivery workers who are beautiful in their hearts. Qiao Ran can stand out among them in delivering food to nursing homes, not because of his outstanding ability, but because he does things with a strict eye, and is safe enough that basically there will be no mistakes. important.

For Qiao Ran, this job is quite good, the intensity is not too high, and the monthly salary is [-] credits, which is not too much, but it is no problem to support him alone, and he can often get a fluffy mental body for free, It can be described as the best of both worlds.

Having said that, Carter soon finished checking Qiao Ran's truck, and let it go after confirming that there was no problem.

It was still early, and no one in the nursing home had come out for activities, and the surroundings were quiet.Qiao Ran drove the car along the boulevard, and when he reached the kitchen, he honked the horn twice.

After a while, a young man with a solid figure and long red hair came out of the kitchen, "Here comes my brother! Do you have any good dishes today?"

"There are freshly picked tomatoes, sweet, juicy, and delicious." Qiao Ran replied, casually picked up a big red tomato from the basket on the shelf, and threw it out the car window.

The young man was Dick, a D-rank sentry, a kitchen helper who worked as a handyman, and winked after catching the tomato: "Hey, baby, aren't you implying something to me?"

Qiao Ran was stunned for a moment before realizing it, the corners of her eyes twitched involuntarily: "You think too much, give me back the tomato."

Dick is a nice guy, but he's a bit mean-spirited and likes to take advantage of others verbally.

"If you don't give it, you won't give it." Dick took a bite of the tomato with a playful smile, and the bright red juice splashed everywhere, "Well, it tastes really good, baby, let's have another one!"

Qiao Ran ignored him, jumped out of the car, and went to the rear compartment.

Dick's mental body, a one-meter-tall badger, immediately rushed forward with salivating face, rubbing Qiao Ran's leg in a wretched way, which Qiao Ran couldn't resist.

Dick couldn't help blushing, and scolded: "Shameless thing, get out of here!"

Badger howled twice, and reluctantly let go of Qiao Ran.

Although it was not the first day when this happened, Dick was still puzzled: "Joe, why do you think my little friend is harassing you so much? It's unscientific. You don't even have a spiritual body, so you can't be regarded as a real guide. "

Qiao Ran said: "I don't know either, maybe... I was born to be liked by fluffy people, right?"

"What's the use of just attracting their liking, it has to be of some practical benefit to the master." Dick shrugged, "Joe, tell me, everything is fine, why don't you have a spiritual body? Even if you have one Cabbage caterpillar, then the two of us can make do with each other, but there is nothing, alas."

Qiao Ran had heard many sentries say this, and she was numb for a long time, so she just smiled nonchalantly, "Let's forget about the cabbage worm, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist crushing it with my own hands."

As we all know, the natural ideal partner of the sentry is the guide. The strong empathy and spiritual power of the latter can appease the manic emotions of the former, soothe their chaotic nervous system, so that they will not lose control and go crazy, hurt others and themselves, and finally be destroyed by fugue disease.

Qiao Ran didn't have a spiritual body, nor did he have spiritual power. To say that he was a defective product among guides was just a compliment, but any sentinel who was a little pursuing would not consider him as a partner.

So it's normal and understandable for Dick to say that.Qiao Ran never thought that he would marry Sentinel in this life. He would be satisfied if he could find an ordinary person who saw each other well as a partner and live a simple and comfortable life.
