464L: OP, Mr. Spade likes you.
465L: It’s so obvious.
466L: Breaking into the school by scaling the wall…? Senior, is that you?! Senior!
467L: The upstairs commenter has a story to tell.
468L: Keywords: Imperial Capital, Guide School, Sentinel breaking into school. Additional hint: Star Calendar 429.
469L: I, I, I remember now! That was a major incident at our school! So it was because of Mr. Spade? The school updated its security system and raised the security level. My dream of sneaking in takeout is now forever out of reach…
470L: Yes, yes, yes! I remember it vividly. It’s not like Sentinels haven’t scale the wall to see their lovers at Guide School before, but a Sentinel who caused an incident severe enough for the school to upgrade its security level? That’s truly one of a kind.
471L: Below, I will describe the incident of the Sentinel break-in that triggered mental power disturbances among the junior Guides at a Guide School in the Imperial Capital in Star Calendar Year 429.
I remember it was afternoon—every other Sentinel who snuck into the school did so at night. This one, whom we’ll tentatively identify as Mr. Spade, chose an afternoon class time.
With agile movements, he turned toward Camera A. In the 0.00001-second gap before Camera B could catch up, he leaped over the school wall, landing in a patch of weeds near the corner. After confirming he hadn’t been spotted, he strolled through the dormitory area, pretending to be a Guide who was late for class, passing through the dormitory area and made his way to the teaching building.
At that moment, junior Guides were learning how to control their mental power through training, and the senior Guide assisting them was likely the OP of this thread.
Mr. Spade roamed the entire school until he found the OP’s classroom. He tapped on the window, and held up the lunch box in his hand, looking unusually excited.
Switching to the classroom’s security feed, we could see the OP’s bewildered expression. He immediately asked the instructor for permission to step out.
Returning to the teaching building’s security feed, we couldn’t hear what the OP and Mr. Spade were saying due to the distance. Approximately three minutes later, Mr. Spade released his Spiritual Body. Inside the classroom, the junior Guides were practicing manipulating their mental threads. One junior Guide’s uncontrolled mental threads accidentally brushed against Mr. Spade’s mental barrier. The black snake roared in response, shattering the mental threads and throwing the junior Guide into mental disarray.
According to subsequent investigation and research, Mr. Spade revealed that he had only released his Spiritual Body to threaten the OP into going out to play with him.
—From the security officer who watched the surveillance footage countless times at a certain Guide School in the Imperial Capital.
472L: Is this true?
473L: Truer than pure gold. Our school has since built a dedicated safety room for beginner Guide training, equipped with Mental Power Threshold Detectors. Whenever a psychic energy field belonging to a Sentinel’s threshold appears, an immediate alarm goes off.
474L: Mr. Spade definitely likes the OP! His explanation was entirely to take the blame for the OP!
475L: It was Mr. Spade’s fault all along. The OP had nothing to do with it.

476L: OP, where are you now? (So scared! I don’t know if this post can get through.)
477L: OP, how are you feeling? (Looks like the authenticity is reliable.)
478L: How is Mr. Spade doing now? Describe more details so we can help analyze the situation. (Move to the thread next door, you know what I mean.)
479L: OP’s Spiritual Body was swallowed: Panic, crying → Calm, lacking a sense of security. After Mr. Spade’s Spiritual Body disappeared: Unaware → Mania → Calm. (The thread count next door has already surpassed this one in length.)
480L: Waiting obediently for the follow-up.
481L: It’s been seven hours since OP last appeared, and we’ve only gained fewer than twenty new posts… My key point is: OP, you should try the third lesson of the introductory Guide Spiritual Body Assistance course. See if you can summon your Spiritual Body. Please don’t censor this, moderators! QAQ
482L OP:
I’m home now. I feel so lonely and miss Mr. Spade terribly. Why is the bed at home so big?
483L: In other words, even though the OP’s bird was swallowed by Mr. Spade’s Spiritual Body, OP still unconsciously misses Mr. Spade.
484L: OP, hurry and find Mr. Spade! Aaaah! Be careful not to fall into Guide Separation Depression again!
485L: I firmly believe that if the OP wants to retrieve their Spiritual Body, the breakthrough lies solely with Mr. Spade.
486L: Is anyone suspicious that the darkest mental black spot in Mr. Spade’s Sea of Consciousness is actually his black snake?
487L: Impossible. The essence of mental black spots is Febima-X Spirit Substance, while the essence of Spiritual Bodies is Hokar-like substance. Currently, no instrument has ever detected the presence of Hokar-like substance within the Sea of Consciousness.
488L OP:
Twenty-eight hours after my Spiritual Body vanished, I once again fell into a state of heart palpitations and panic. The tears simply won’t stop.
489L: Mr. Spade!!!
490L: Does anyone following this thread know Mr. Spade? Tell him to find the OP immediately! Aaaaaahhhh!
491L: OP, quickly drink some hot water and set the emergency contact button on your optical computer to the hospital or research institute.
492L OP:
My hands are shaking so badly I can’t hold the cup. It shattered. I’m crouching amidst the shards, my consciousness hazy, and I don’t know what to do.
493L: Don’t do anything! Be careful of the glass shards!
494L: Call the hospital! Hurry, hurry, hurry!
495L: Someone get a hacker to quickly locate the OP and call an ambulance for him!
496L: I called Mr. Spade, but no one answered.
497L: Quick, find Mr. Club!
498L: OP, please come back and say something, anything!
499L: Administrator, please don’t limit the number of replies. Someone’s life is at stake! Let us out to comfort the OP!
500L: Deep breath in, exhale. Deep breath in, exhale.
501L: Where are the Administrators! Where are the Moderator! Where are the special personnel! Didn’t you say every comment on this thread would be monitored?! Something serious is happening, hey!
502L: Has something happened to Mr. Spade too? Who has the contact information of Madam XXXX?
503L: Madam XXXX
504L: Madam Peach’s real identity has been set as a censored word!!!
505L: It’s true! What about Lord XXXX?!
506L: Mr. Club’s speculated identity has also become a censored word!!!
507L: The OP’s location is being signal-blocked, making it impossible to trace their exact location.
508L: All of the Senior’s contact information was updated after graduation, making it impossible to reach him.
509L: Don’t panic, don’t panic! Let’s not panic yet. The monitors are probably temporarily offline. We need to seize this opportunity to speculate. Let’s see if my reasoning sound right. We can now confirm that Madam Peach is the nation’s top-ranked Guide in terms of Mental Power. Mr. Spade and the OP have known each other since childhood. The OP mentioned that their parents and Mr. Spade’s parents were close. This means the OP’s parents must belong to Madam Peach’s social circle and have a close relationship with her. Does anyone have any relevant information?
510L: Madam Peach belongs to the Guide Special Administrative Office. If the OP’s parents are Madam Peach’s colleagues, then the OP’s parents must also belong to the Guide Special Administrative Office.
511L: I know. Mr. Cherche, Madam Turbot, and Mr. Mihasler are all closely connected to Madam Peach in the Guide Special Administrative Office.
512L: Excellent. So, does anyone know if any of these three have Guide children in their twenties?
513L: The gossip thread next door has already figured it out. Mr. Cherche has three children, all Sentinels. Madam Donbid’s youngest daughter is a Guide who just graduated this year. Mr. Mihasler’s son perfectly fits the requirements.
514L: Quick, get Mr. Mihasler’s son’s information up here!!!
515L: Mr. Mihasler’s son is named Mischna. He’s 24 years old this year and graduated with honors from the Imperial Capital’s First International Guide School. His current occupation is classified.
516L: Wait a minute, I remember Mr. Club call the OP ‘Nashu’?
517L: Yes, the gossip thread has confirmed that the OP is Mr. Mihasler’s son, Mischna. But it’s useless—his personal information is confidential, his contact details are confidential, and his work is confidential. We still can’t reach him.
518L: OP, OP, are you still there?
519L: What do we do? I’m so anxious! Three-Year-Old Spade, where the hell are you?!
520L: The Imperial Capital Transportation Bureau has just reported a sighting: Mr. Spade has been spotted on surveillance cameras!
The author has something to say:
Perfect timing to end on 520L! Happy Dragon Boat Festival, everyone~!
