Chapter 2352: S-Class Guide Forced Love 37

After chatting with Lao Brun about this and that, Youzan finally left.

Just a few steps out of Lao Brun's office, as he turned the corner of the dim hallway leading to the upper-level elevator, someone blocked his path.

It was Ye Jun.

His condition was worse than when Youzan had heard about him at the camp; he was gaunt, with sunken eyes and disheveled hair.

The distinctive spiritual radiance of a high‑class guide had almost completely faded, leaving only a frazzled, near‑collapse aura.

His gaze toward Youzan was filled with deep regret and a distorted unwillingness.

If… if he hadn't chosen Luwen back then, hadn't framed Youzan… then who would now be standing beside an S‑class sentinel, basking in supreme glory, if not him?

"Youzan…" Ye Jun's voice was hoarse.

Youzan stopped in his tracks, his brows knitting instantly, his eyes icy and wary.

"Let Jin Chen… spare me." Ye Jun gasped, his voice thick with desperate pleading: "Luwen is dead, the backlash is agony—I can't hold on much longer… lift your psychic suppression and surveillance of me… give me a way out…"

Youzan snorted, his eyes unwavering: "Impossible. You know exactly what you've done."

He felt no sympathy for Ye Jun whatsoever.

The instant Youzan's words fell, the last plea in Ye Jun's eyes was replaced by frenzied ruthlessness.

"…It's you who forced me."

He suddenly raised his hand and crushed the microdevice to pieces!

An intensely sweet, corrosively psychic fragrance burst forth in the narrow hallway.

The potent sentinel inducer is a powerful narcotic circulated on the black market, specially designed to target high‑level sentinels.

Youzan tried to step back after realizing what was happening, but it was already too late.

The scent, as if alive, shot madly into his nostrils, instantly invading his already hyper‑acute senses.

Ye Jun's face showed a twisted delight and desperate madness: "Hah… too late! The High Tower won't spare me… but you won't get off easy either!"

He no longer cared about consequences; he only wanted to drag Youzan down to hell with him.

Yet he underestimated the terrifying willpower of the evolved Youzan and the soothing collar Jin Chen had left behind.

As the inducer detonated, the crystal on Youzan's collar flared with an unprecedented blinding blue light, and a surge of painful current shot through his body, the agony forcibly pulling his collapsing sanity back.

The black serval's fur instantly bristled, and it let out a sharp hiss.

Ye Jun still wanted to lunge forward, attempting to deepen Youzan's confusion with psychic interference.

But what met him was Youzan's retaliation, like that of an enraged beast.

Even addled, the evolved S‑class sentinel's strength and speed far surpassed what Ye Jun could imagine.

Youzan didn't even need a weapon; he simply threw a punch wrapped in violent psychic power, slamming Ye Jun into the wall with an audible crack of breaking bones.

Ye Jun slumped down, disbelieving, blood pouring from his mouth and nose, unable to even cry out, left only with painful spasms.

The huge commotion immediately drew the lower‑level patrol guards and a few passing lower‑level sentinels.

They rushed over, seeing Youzan with blood‑red eyes, exuding terrifying pressure and loss of control, and Ye Jun slumped unconscious on the floor, and they all shrank back, afraid to approach.

"Lord Youzan! What's wrong with you?!"

One guard plucked up his courage and shouted, recognizing Youzan's identity and also seeing the shattered remnants of the inducer device on the ground; his face turned ashen.

Youzan gasped violently, his body trembling fiercely from the intense craving and the electric jolt of the collar.

He clenched his teeth until his gums bled, relying on that sharp pain to hold onto the last shred of lucidity: "Go find Jin Chen, quickly. Have him… come."

The guard instantly understood, shouting into his communicator as he ran: "Hurry! Notify the upper levels, Medical Department lower corridor! Lord Youzan has had an incident! We need Councilor Jin Chen here immediately! Top priority!"

Youzan could no longer hold up; he staggered back, sliding down the cold wall to sit on the ground.

He curled himself into the darkest corner, arms locked around his knees, his body shaking uncontrollably.

The black serval writhed in agony at his feet, letting out a mournful wail, likewise tormented by that dreadful craving.

Youzan's eyes welled up, his fingers digging hard into his collar, trying to shock himself awake with a stronger current, a choked sob escaping his throat.

"Jin Chen… Jin Chen…"

Time seemed to stretch endlessly.

Every second was agony.

At last.

A familiar psychic presence descended, dispelling the lingering sweet toxin in the hallway.

Jin Chen suddenly appeared at the end of the hallway, glanced at the motionless Ye Jun on the floor, his expression grim.

But now was not the time to dwell on that.

"Youzan!" Jin Chen's voice was low and urgent.

Youzan jerked his head up, and all restraint collapsed the moment he sensed Jin Chen's presence.

He lurched forward, drenched in disarray and scorching heat, and slammed into Jin Chen's embrace.

"Jin Chen…"

Youzan's voice broke into trembling whispers, his scorching cheeks frantically rubbing against Jin Chen's neck and jaw, his hands tearing at the collar in a frantic, disordered search for Jin Chen's lips: "Kiss me… give me…"

"I'm here, be good, leave it to me." Jin Chen held him tight.

"Lao Brun, a clean infirmary!" Jin Chen growled while kissing Youzan, as the arriving Lao Brun rushed over.

Lao Brun reacted instantly, tossing aside his animal tranquilizer and flinging open the relatively clean backup treatment room.

Jin Chen half‑carried, half‑dragged the clinging Youzan inside and slammed the door shut.

Lao Brun glanced around, then picked up the same animal tranquilizer and injected it into Ye Jun's neck, considering it payback for Youzan.

Inside.

Jin Chen pressed Youzan onto the cold treatment table, kissing the tears at the corners of his eyes, and poured his vast, oceanic psychic power unreservedly into Youzan's mindscape.

The burning swamp of desire was covered.

The absolute control power of an S-rank Guide began to forcibly sort out, driving away the terrible influence brought by the intense inducing substance.

A deeper soothing followed.

The body and spirit underwent a deep dual fusion; You Zan, enveloped by Jin Chen's power and breath, the overwhelming mental anguish pain finally found a point of satisfaction, and the fierce demanding gradually turned into dependent sobbing and endurance.

He let Jin Chen control everything, bringing salvation.

After an unknown amount of time, the intense commotion in the disposal room finally subsided, leaving only faint water sounds.

Six hours later.

Jin Chen held the already-washed You Zan, who had changed into a backup uniform, and switched to using warm, moist spiritual power like flowing water to soothe.

You Zan, like a satiated cat, lazily curled up in Jin Chen's embrace, his eyes somewhat hazy but already regained clarity.

That frenzied heat and longing were completely soothed; the black jungle cat's spiritual form also regained its spirit, affectionately rubbing against the white wolf's leg.

You Zan lifted his gaze, looking at the Jin Chen who held him, with a hint of expressionless grievance, asking, "Did I kill Ye Jun?"

Jin Chen lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on his slightly reddened eyelids, saying, "No. He's severely injured, but still clinging to life."

He paused, looking into You Zan's eyes, and said, "However, I already took care of it while you were asleep."

You Zan immediately understood the meaning in Jin Chen's words, relaxed further, and nestled closer into Jin Chen's embrace, rubbing his forehead against him.
