Soul Mechanic [Interstellar]

[Angel-like guide]

When Mu Qiu opened his eyes, he thought he saw an angel.

The golden hair fell softly on the side of the face, the green pupils were full of gentle smiles, and the white skin couldn't find a pore, and inexplicably coincided with the face in the memory. In a daze, a name came out of his throat involuntarily—

"mom…"

He seemed to have heard something interesting, and the smile on his beautiful face was deeper.

Mu Qiu's spiritual realm trembled suddenly, and soon recovered, wishing to faint again.

"Haha, don't be shy, if you have a beautiful son like you, Daddy and Mommy will definitely be happy!" The clear and sweet voice, like a beautiful note, entered Mu Qiu's ears, but now he Would rather not hear.

Mu Qiu's face blushed at once, and after realizing his current state, he was even more embarrassed, struggling to get out of the hospital bed.

"Hey? It's connected to the therapy device! Don't move around, baby~" Elsa pressed him to the bed and blinked teasingly, obviously not planning to let him go.

Mu Qiu simply didn't know how to react, he was a big man, so easily suppressed by a little girl, really...

Mu Qiu put the back of his hand on his eyes, hiding his complicated expression.

"Okay, okay, let you go." Elsa lifted his hand gently, "Said you can't move, you were sunburned when you were sent over, how can you not get a good treatment?"

As she talked, she habitually stretched out her mental tentacles and gently brushed Mu Qiu's body.

Mu Qiu's body stiffened—not because of holding a girl's hand for the first time, but because of the strange mental fluctuations that the other party radiated.

He is very sure that his identity as a guide has not been exposed, so Elsa may just be out of the instinct of a military doctor, habitually combing the mental wave for the patient, after all, no ordinary person can bother a precious guide for consultation.

—Thinking of this, Mu Qiu gradually relaxed.

Sure enough, Elsa quickly realized that Mu Qiu was just an "ordinary person", so she smiled apologetically, and naturally served a plate of fruit with drops of water, and asked playfully: "Would you like to eat it? Special offer for the guide!"

Mu Qiu smiled politely, and responded politely: "Thank you, no merit will be paid."

"No merit is not rewarded?" Elsa is obviously not very proficient in Huaxia, although this charming language has become the official lingua franca of the Galaxy Federation after the test of time.

Only then did Mu Qiu realize that the other party is not the Arrow who is used to gagging with him, so he showed an apologetic look and said sincerely: "Don't worry about it, it's a good thing anyway."

"Haha, Qiu, you are really a special person, different from the people here, I like talking to you!"

The enthusiastic girl expresses her appreciation straightforwardly, and her joyful emotion resonates in Mu Qiu's spiritual realm.

In an instant, Mu Qiu was baptized from body to heart, and all the negative states were wiped out.

Since Mrs. Mu left, this was the first time he had experienced such a beautiful feeling, and Mu Qiu couldn't help but get a little closer to Elsa.

Elsa was the first guide Mu Qiu came into contact with. I didn’t expect the emotional resonance between the guide and the guide to be such a beautiful experience-like rain and clear weather, like spring flowers, like soaking in a warm hot spring .

Mu Qiu pretended to look casually at the little goat holding his hoof on the hospital bed next to him, thinking that it was Elsa's mental body, just as lively and cute as the owner.

The little guy looked at Mu Qiu's eyes with feeling, and tilted his head in doubt.

Elsa moved her heart and asked in surprise: "Autumn, can you see Little Polly?"

Mu Qiu pretended to be stupid, "What?"

Elsa pointed to the direction of the little goat and said eagerly: "There is a snow-white little goat there. It is very cute. Can you see it?"

The look in the eyes of the beauty was so exciting, no one had the heart to let her down.

However, Mu Qiu still smiled, and asked pretendingly, "Is it your spiritual body? It turns out that you are a noble guide. It's a pity that I'm just an ordinary person and I can't see it."

Elsa lowered her eyelids, visibly disappointed.

However, after only a while, her face regained a bright smile, "Compared with the'noble guide', I hope Qiu calls me Elsa. I know that you are a new military doctor. Yes, I will be a colleague from now on—"

Elsa stretched out her right hand to Mu Qiu.

However, Mu Qiu was so surprised that he forgot the basic etiquette that a man should have-instead of holding the pale and delicate hand, he said dumbly: "Military doctor? Guide Elsa, I think there must be something in it. Misunderstanding, I am a graduate of the Federal First Military Academy. I have just passed the A-level mechanic certification..."

Elsa was amused by his appearance and giggled, her beautiful face with a faint-looking expression, "Autumn, I think I have to tell you an'unfortunate news'-I accidentally marked out the case before. After receiving your order, not a mechanic, but a military doctor. A generous man shouldn't mind a lady's accidental offense, right?"

Of course Mu Qiu didn't mind, he didn't mind at all, because he was skeptical about life—he went from the juvenile class to the graduate school all the way from the youth class to the graduate school. Is it because he came to be a military doctor on such a planet full of yellow sand?

—

However, even though Mu Qiu didn't feel angry anymore, he had to stay in the military hospital of the Tianlong team before finding the right opportunity.

Of course, being a military doctor here is not without benefits.

Perhaps it was because of the special department where Elsa worked. As her only assistant, Mu Qiu was much better than other medical staff in terms of treatment.

The most direct manifestation is the accommodation environment. Even if the ordinary staff of the hospital have the corresponding military ranks, they must live in the family area outside the military area. Only Mu Qiu and Elsa live in the inner area. Their residences are separated from the round towers of the sentries by only two rows. Green plants are under the strictest protection.

According to visual observation, the single dormitory that Mu Qiufen arrived at was a full 60 square meters, with a kitchen, a bathroom, a room and a hall. Such a house would be a mansion if it were placed in the imperial capital.

You should know that in the interstellar era of the population explosion, except for the border stars with harsh environments and raging insects and beasts, on any habitable planet, the residential buildings are straight into the sky, and the underground buildings are of all kinds. The buildings are divided into countless honeycomb-like grids, and the space of each grid is fully utilized.

Even in places like the Federal First Military Academy, two to four students are packed in a dormitory. In a small space, there are two desks and two chairs during the day, and at night it becomes two medium-sized sleeping cabins and storage compartments. On the ceiling, after all, not everyone can afford to buy SpaceNews—no matter what status there is no privilege, unless you choose not to live on campus—however, no matter whether you are a local or a foreign student, almost no one does it.

Fortunately, the Federation will equip each citizen with a free terminal. There is an electronic library in the terminal, and there is no place to put it if it is replaced with a physical book.

After living in such an environment for more than 20 years, Mu Qiu thought he was used to it. However, at this time, he seemed to have returned to his previous life. Yes, the earth in the previous life was in the 21st century. After graduating from university, he rented the room with his part-time savings. The hut, the place he called home.

Mu Qiu's eyes were moist for a moment.

Perhaps it was because of too much emotion during the day, but at night, even though he was exhausted, Mu Qiu couldn't sleep for a long time.

In the dead of night, there is a moon-like celestial body hanging in the sky, reflecting the light of the stars, and spilling onto the white sheets through the oval ceramic glass window.

Mu Qiu stretched out his slender fingers and rubbed the perfect arc.

In the last life, there was a senior who specialized in glass ceramics research, holding a state subsidy to do confidential work, decent and magical.

To this day, glass ceramics has not been updated for many generations, and it has already switched from the military industry to civilian use. This fact clearly reminds Mu Qiu that this is not the small earth it used to be.

Mu Qiu came to the future world for twenty-four years. He had memories when he was in his mother's belly at first, and he also kept the memories of being an adult in the previous life.

At that time, he felt the expectation of his parents through a soft belly. Hearing them express their love for him tirelessly, Mu Qiu was full of gratitude to God.

He was an orphan for twenty-four years and eventually died of illness. He never expected to have a family in this life.

In the past ten years, Mu Qiu had a good time with his parents. He tried his best to behave like an innocent child, allowing his parents to fully experience the joy of being a parent, and he himself also had the opportunity to double the love he once lost. .

However, an accident fourteen years ago made him an orphan again—the parents who cared for him were held under his nose, but he could only hide cowardly and could not do anything.

Thinking of this, Mu Qiu's heart slipped through waves of dull pain, the blood on his face gradually faded, and the spiritual realm suddenly set off a violent storm.

The little robot squeezed out of the frenzied mental realm, opened its two small arms to embrace Mu Qiu's chin, and shouted anxiously: "Qiuqiu! Qiuqiu calm!"

The little robot spared no effort to radiate soothing spirit waves, and Mu Qiu's manic mood gradually calmed down.

He hung his head, rubbed his painful temples, and said as calmly as possible: "Don't worry little carrot, I'm fine."

"But Qiuqiu is not happy, Qiuqiu is in pain here." The robot-shaped mental body named Xiaoluo pointed to Mu Qiu's heart and said pitifully, the tears in his eyes almost appeared.

"It's okay, it will be fine soon." Mu Qiu laughed and tried to calm his emotions. It didn't take long because he was used to it.

Whenever he thinks of the "death" of his parents, Mu Qiu will experience a mental riot like a sentinel. Such a situation happens to a guide, which makes people laugh and cry.

In order to calm down the restless mood as soon as possible, Mu Qiu gave himself psychological hints over and over again, parents are not dead, they are still alive, they must be alive in a certain corner of the interstellar...

Mu Qiu raised his arm and habitually touched the small mole behind his right ear, his eyes gradually becoming hopeful.

At the same time, in the silver-gray barrel-shaped building less than a hundred meters away, Chu Qingtian's spiritual realm gradually returned to calm.

Just now, he who was already in deep sleep suddenly jumped up, and for a time there was a violent fluctuation in the spiritual realm. The unspeakable bad feeling made people crazy.

Chu Qingtian suppressed the frenzied mood and calmly injected himself with a tube of guide element, but the effect was minimal.

Fortunately, this process was very short, and the restless mood disappeared silently like a sudden arrival.

Chu Qingtian gradually calmed down. Intuition told him that his guide appeared.

At the Federal Innovation Awards ceremony, the throbbing for a moment made him remember. It's like a fish that has lost its water returning to the sea, like a dry river into a clear spring, like a missing soul replenishing it, as if all beautiful words can be used on it.

But, where is he?

Is it the military doctor who was transferred?

Chu Qingtian shook his head. It was not that person. The sentinel's instinct told him that he was not that person. That kind of beautiful feeling deep in the bones could not come from a guide with only 80% compatibility.

A bold guess entered Chu Qingtian's mind unstoppably, and perhaps it was 100% compatible.

In the night, a handsome smile appeared on his chiseled face—100%, heh, it was bold enough.

The author has something to say: The setting of the sentinel guide in the small exhibition comes from Du Niang Baike. In order to avoid people who do not know the truth think that this article is similar to XX, I should post the content on Du Niang here. Those who are interested can take a look-the following set of small exhibitions are selectively adopted, not all of them! muah!

Special abilities possessed by Sentinel

All five senses that are strengthened;

The ability to communicate with ghosts;

Have a spiritual guide in the animal department;

It is possible to predict the future;

It is even possible to use a spiritual guide to bring his partner back from death.

Guide

People who have strong empathy, can feel the emotions of others, and appease the sentry's irritable mood, can take the sentry away from the state of wandering. A guide with strong empathy can even influence the thinking of others. Generally, the personality is milder and more sensible, but the physical ability is weaker. Spiritual guides are mostly mild vegetarians or omnivores.

Most of the guides are women, but about a quarter of the guides are men, which is higher than the proportion of female sentinels.

Features

The guide has stronger spiritual power and will be infinitely tolerant as the partner of the sentry. For example, the relationship between the sentry and the guide is the relationship between the gun and the trigger. Compared with sentries, the number of guides is very small and very precious. The guide lacks freedom. After awakening, he will be sent to the tower to receive a unified education. After reaching the level, he will be arranged to be combined with a suitable sentry. From then on, he will hang on the opponent and cannot get rid of it.

Normally, the sentry and the guide will form a partner on the battlefield to perform tasks. The process of forming a partner is the so-called combination of body and spirit. This combination is a lifetime system, unless one party dies and the other party lives alone, but such cases are too rare. If the sentry dies and the guide survives, then the guide will immediately arrange a new combination target for the guide. A sentinel who loses a guide is not so lucky, unless the value of the sentinel is very high.

Term explanation and general setting

Social system

The total number of sentries and guides accounted for about a quarter of the total population.

The sentry and the guide are equal. The guide is not an accessory of the sentry. The sentry can choose the guide, and the guide can also choose the sentry. However, the status and treatment of sentinel guides are higher than ordinary people.

Once the sentry and guide are determined, they must be registered at the Tower of London, and then they must be sent to the Tower of London for three years of training at the age of 16. The wizard is not in the mandatory pairing list.

After completing the training, they will serve for five years. The place of service can be the army or the guild. At the end of the service period, you can choose to stay or retire.

The life of sentries and guides after retirement is strictly monitored by the Tower of London. One is to keep in touch with the Tower of London at any time for emergencies; the other is to prevent the sentries and guides from using their abilities to do illegal things.

If the sentry or guide is seriously injured during the mission, they can retire early.

Sentinels and guides can be combined with ordinary humans. Children of sentries and ordinary people can only be sentries or ordinary people. Children of guides and ordinary people can only be guides or ordinary people. Children of sentries and guides may be sentries, guides, or ordinary people. Ordinary people.

Combine

A sentinel can only be with his combined guide, and vice versa. However, once one of them dies, the other can choose a new partner to join. But widowhood is a very painful thing for both the sentry and the guide. It is equivalent to splitting the soul. Therefore, most of the widowed sentry or guides will no longer have the intention to find a new partner, only a few lucky ones. Can find the other half that fits him again.

guild

The guild is mainly responsible for handling some commissions from ordinary people. The scope of commissions is rather complicated. It mainly handles some tasks that ordinary humans cannot reach. The task levels are divided into A, B, C, D, and S. The abilities of sentinel guides in the guild vary, and the guild will assign tasks by level based on the abilities of the sentry guide partners. A-level and above are high-risk tasks with life-threatening risks, and S-level tasks are more difficult government commissions.

White Tower

Almost all of them are in an educational zone of the villain in various settings. Every guide who has just awakened is forced to teach in the White Tower. Educational courses are similar to flower arranging and tea art... The purpose is to obliterate the personality of the guide and send the gentle and weak guides to the sentries. [5]

Spiritual Guide/Spiritual Body

The concretization of the sentinel guide's spirit should be a higher-dimensional creature, which only the sentinel and guide can see and touch, and has no effect on ordinary people. Theoretically, it can attack the sentry guide.

Guide element

Similar to the pheromone in ABO settings, it can be used to track and identify guides. Every guide registered in the tower will leave a guide. No matter where the registered guide escapes, as long as there is this guide. They can be identified, so in those times when the guides do not have human rights, every newly awakened guide will try to avoid registering in the tower, and most of them will use their abilities to hide themselves. The guide element can also be used to temporarily stabilize the sentinel's emotions. If there is a sentinel whose emotions are out of control, press and hold it, and just apply the guide element.

Dark Sentinel

The most powerful kind of sentinel, with extremely low probability of appearance, has extreme self-control ability, and can control one's emotions well. In theory, there is no need for the assistance of a guide when emotions are out of control. The reason for the formation of the dark sentry is still unclear, but it is certain that every dark sentry is the king of that era.

barrier

A protective barrier formed by mental power can isolate the sentinel's five senses from the spirit of the guide, and avoid the mental load caused by the huge amount of information in daily life.

Escort/partner

From the "Observation Report of London Sentinels and Guides in Victorian Era", I did not awaken all five senses, but only felt 1 to 4 types and called guards. Those with too weak mental power to be truly combined are called partners.

White noise

Because the sentry's five senses are very keen, most of the sounds are no different from noise to them. Long-term exposure to this sound environment is a great burden or even harm to the sentry. White noise is different from such harmful sounds, such as the sound of water and wind. Sounds harmless to the sentry when the barrier is not erected are white noise.

Silent room

In special rooms with only white noise, water pipes are usually laid outside a relatively closed room. It is generally used for the wounded sentinel to rest, of course, there are other uses, such as the partial combination/forced combination described in "Chameleon" is also performed in a place full of white noise like a silent room. Of course, just The sentinel who has not yet awakened a barrier lives in this environment.
