Chapter 421 Sentinel to the World: The Delicate and Useless Guide VS The Cunning and Super-Powerful
"Su Jinyue, I'm sorry, but something came up and I can't go on our trip to A588 with you that we had agreed on..."
As soon as Su Jinyue entered the small world, before she even knew what was going on with her, she saw a virtual screen in front of her, in which a handsome man spoke to her with an apologetic expression.
Su Jinyue has not yet accepted the original owner's memories and does not know the specific situation, so she cautiously remained silent.
The man on the virtual screen looked at the silent Su Jinyue, thinking she couldn't accept his broken promise. Just as he was about to say something, a pair of slender, white hands suddenly reached out from behind him, and then a seductive woman appeared behind him, pressing against his shoulder.
"Xianyu, who are you talking to? Didn't you say you were only spending time with me today?"
The alluring woman clung to the man with a soft, boneless body; it was clear at a glance that their relationship was more than just friendship.
The man was somewhat flustered at this moment. While trying to get rid of the woman's entanglement, he explained to Su Jinyue on the other side of the screen.
"Jinyue, it's not what you think, I really had something to do..."
Su Jinyue hung up the video call before the man could finish speaking.
It was obviously a case of a man being caught cheating. Although she didn't know the original owner's relationship with the man, Su Jinyue felt that she didn't need to say anything more.
A short while later, the other party called again, but Su Jinyue didn't answer and instead blocked his ID number.
The communication device was an interstellar optical computer, which Su Jinyue knew how to operate.
After blocking the other party, Su Jinyue finally found a moment of peace. She looked around and saw that it was a closed space of about ten square meters, which seemed safe at the moment.
Having lived in an interstellar world before, Su Jinyue manipulated the room and a wall next to the bed became transparent, revealing a magnificent starry sky outside. It turned out she was on a starship.
"Kongkong, now receive the memories."
Kongkong: [Yes, host.]
After a long while, Su Jinyue finally finished receiving the original owner's memories. She raised her hand to rub her throbbing temples, then looked at the time. It was too late; there was no time left.
This small world is both similar to and different from the interstellar world. The similarities are that it has advanced technology and numerous star systems and planets.
The difference is that this world divides humans into three categories: Sentinels, Guides, and Ordinary People.
Sentinels represent the pinnacle of combat power in this world. They possess exceptional physical strength and can unlock their mental power after the age of fifteen. This mental power manifests as a spiritual entity, which is typically a beast. Depending on the Sentinel's strength, they may take on different beast forms.
Guides are born from the presence of sentinels. The sentinels' spiritual bodies are usually ferocious beasts. After fighting a lot, their spiritual power becomes violent and uncontrollable. At this time, they usually need guides to soothe their spiritual power.
Guides also differentiate at the age of fifteen and also have a spiritual body. However, the spiritual bodies of guides are generally weak and cute beasts. Moreover, guides are not as physically strong as sentinels and need the protection of sentinels.
Of course, the vast majority of people in this world are ordinary people, but because ordinary people do not have spiritual power, the jobs they can do are generally ordinary jobs in the lower and middle classes of society.
Sentinels and Guides all possess mental power. Due to their differentiation and the assistance of mental power, their brains are developed, making them far superior to ordinary people in terms of both strength and ability.
Therefore, Sentinels and Guides dominate the upper echelons of society, and they control over 90% of the world's technology, commerce, military, and politics.
Su Jinyue's country is an empire, and her family is the leading enterprise in the pharmaceutical industry of the capital star. They are definitely a top-tier family, and the original owner of this body can be said to be the well-deserved little princess of the Su family.
The man who spoke with Su Jinyue was named Lin Xianyu. His family was a second-rate family on the capital planet. He was the original owner's childhood sweetheart and the person she had liked since she was a child.
The two had originally planned to go on a trip together after the semester ended, but Lin Xianyu suddenly canceled. During the video call, Su Jinyue even saw him with another woman!
Su Jinyue didn't care at all whether Lin Xianyu came or not. Anyway, she would draw a clear line after returning home. His infidelity saved her from having to find other excuses.
Oh, right, the original owner had always had a crush on Lin Xianyu, but never confessed or even dated him.
That makes things even simpler; there's no need to contact them again after that.
But what Su Jinyue is worried about now is not Lin Xianyu's problem, but that there is a problem with the route of this starship.
Su Jinyue remembered that Lin Xianyu had just said that he was going to A588 for a trip, but now the destination of this starship is the edge star!
In her memory, the original owner received a message that they would travel to the outer planet together, so she bought a ticket to the outer planet.
After boarding the starship, Su Jinyue searched for Lin Xianyu for a long time but couldn't find him. That's when she finally spoke to Lin Xianyu, and that's when the events of before happened.
Something must have happened; Su Jinyue was certain that the original owner of this body had been tricked.
Next, the starship will pass through the wormhole, and then be trapped by space pirates waiting near the wormhole.
The space pirates had clearly received the message; their target was Su Jinyue.
The Su family is the leading company in the imperial pharmaceutical industry, with countless assets. The Su family's little princess just happened to fall into their hands. How could they resist the wealth that was within their grasp?
The original owner is eighteen years old this year. She differentiated into a guide when she was fifteen, but her mental strength level is very low, only F, and she can barely form a mental body.
However, the original owner's spiritual body was just an ordinary blade of grass, and it hadn't changed at all in three years. In addition, the guide's physique was already poor, so although she was a guide, she was not even as good as an ordinary person.
Such a delicate little lamb, yet she went out of the capital planet alone, heading to a marginal planet on the edge of the empire's influence. How could space pirates not be tempted by such news?
As long as they kidnap Su Jinyue and demand ransom from the Su family, they can pull off this big heist and their lives will be secure for the rest of their lives!
Knowing that the space pirates were after her, Su Jinyue frantically tried to come up with a solution.
The original owner didn't tell anyone about her trip with Lin Xianyu. If she had told the Su family, she might not have been able to go, so she hid it very well.
Then the only possibility is that the information was leaked by Lin Xianyu's side, coupled with the wrong destination. Su Jinyue is certain that it was someone from Lin Xianyu's side who was behind this, and it is very likely that it was the woman who appeared in the video before.
But now is not the time to investigate the mastermind behind this. Su Jinyue's main concern is to escape her predicament and avoid falling into the hands of space pirates.
Su Jinyue already knew her fate from the original owner's memories: she had been kidnapped, and the Su family had paid the ransom. But before the space pirates could release her, another group of space pirates double-crossed her.
