Infinite Pollution: The SSS Guide Pierces the Horror Dungeon - chapter 1

“Stop arguing. I’ll marry him.”

Sitting by the window, Wen Song, whose head was throbbing from the voices around her, suddenly spoke up.

“Really!”

Wen Mother, sitting on the leather sofa, shot to her feet, not caring at all why Wen Song, who had firmly opposed the arranged marriage just days ago, had suddenly agreed. Her eyes were full of delight.

“Good, good, good! As long as you’re willing to marry, the Wen Family will never treat you unfairly. You-”

Before Wen Mother could finish, Wen Song was already heading upstairs.

Even after closing her bedroom door, Wen Song could still sense the joyful atmosphere in the living room.

After blocking out her own mental perception, Wen Song walked to the window, pushed it open, and looked out at the Green Tower, which glowed with a soft green light day after day not far away.

It was called the Green Tower because at its tip was a massive green gemstone, which emitted beams of light day and night.

These beams formed a protective dome, shielding everyone within the Safe Zone from the Pollution Zone.

Pollution Zone.

This term had been unfamiliar to Wen Song just three days ago.

Three days ago, Wen Song was still fighting zombies in the apocalypse. She had just led a team to clear out an abandoned building, planning to tidy up and use it as a new base, when she missed a step and fell from the 108th floor.

When she opened her eyes again, she was kneeling outside this very room, with a sobbing girl behind her and two voices shouting insults.

After sorting through her memories, Wen Song realized she hadn’t died, but had crossed over to a world similar to the apocalypse.

This world had no zombies, only countless Aberrants and Pollution Zones.

Humans here fought Aberrants and Pollution Zones instead of zombies.

Unlike the apocalypse, where hot and cold weapons were used, humanity in this world had awakened two special types: Sentinels and Guides.

Sentinels possessed extraordinary physical strength and heightened senses, dominating in battle. But because their senses were so acute, they were prone to sensory overload, which could trigger Rampage and cause aberrations.

Guides, on the other hand, were physically weaker but had powerful mental strength. They could form effective mental links with Sentinels, and their main job was to provide mental guidance to prevent Sentinels from rampaging.

The two complemented each other, fighting for the Empire.

The original owner of this body had differentiated into a Guide at age fourteen.

From that day on, as a member of the Nobility, her task was to study gardening, tea brewing, and cooking at the Guide Academy, serve her husband, squeeze in time to learn mental guidance, and look forward to marrying one of the Wen Family’s childhood betrothals.

The son of a Duke in the Empire, Shao An, a Sentinel who had never set foot on the battlefield.

A life you could see from beginning to end at a glance.

But everything changed a month ago, when a ragged little girl arrived claiming to be the Wen Family’s biological daughter.

This caused an uproar in the Wen Family, and the parents rushed to do a genetic test.

The results showed the original owner was not their biological daughter.

In an instant, the real daughter became the fake!

From that day on, the original owner’s room was taken away, her parents’ affection was taken away, even her beloved Fiancé was about to be taken away.

Having grown up in luxury, the original owner couldn’t bear such hardship. Finally, she mustered the courage to try and kill the real daughter with her weak mental strength, but made a fatal mistake-hurting the enemy barely at all, but destroying herself. She died.

Wen Song took over seamlessly.

Coincidentally, the original owner had the same name as her.

Thinking of the original owner’s death, Wen Song rubbed her temples, trying to summon the legendary Spirit Body to see just how weak it was.

But for some reason, in the past three days, she had tried countless times to summon the Spirit Body, and it had never appeared.

Could it be that her Spirit Body was incompatible with the original owner’s?

Before she could figure it out, someone knocked on the door.

The door was quietly pushed open from the outside, leaving a small gap.

Wen Xu, dressed in an expensive pink lace dress, twisted her skirt as she walked in, eyes brimming with tears. “Sister, I’m sorry. I know by order of arrival, you should marry Shao An and I should… I didn’t mean to steal the person you like, but Mom and Dad insisted, and there’s nothing I can do…”
As soon as she finished speaking, tears were about to fall from her eyes.

Wen Song had seen this kind of scene before. In the novels she read to pass the time during the apocalypse, the vicious supporting female characters always acted like this.

Next, the vicious supporting character would use her crying to call her parents upstairs for support.

Sure enough, just moments later, she heard Wen Father and Wen Mother coming upstairs.

“Stop! If you want it, it’s yours!”

Before Wen Xu could even start crying, Wen Song spoke up quickly and pushed her out the door. “Goodbye.”

She had no time to play these games of competing for affection.

As for that so-called Fiancé, she had never even met him!

The original host had always been infatuated with this so-called Fiancé, wishing she could give him her whole heart, acting like a lovesick fool. Yet the Fiancé was always cold, rejecting her from a thousand miles away.

Whoever wants him can have him!

But-

Wen Song rubbed her head. Did the Wen Family have some unknown quirks?

They actually arranged two childhood betrothals in a row!

Before, there had only been the original host, so they naturally picked the better option.

But there was another childhood betrothal, arranged by the Wen Family Elder, with the son of an old comrade-he was rumored to be the Northern Frontier General. Not only was he disabled, he was also said to be brutal and cold.

The Wen Family would never let their biological daughter marry him, so this engagement naturally fell to her.

After all, a fake daughter was still a daughter.

All the good things belonged to the Wen Family, and anything bad could always be distanced from them.

Fortunately, it was said that this man always stayed in the Northern Frontier and had no intention of marrying at all.

Hearing the faint sound of crying outside the door, Wen Song propped herself up on the windowsill with one hand, jumped out, and headed to school.

If her memory was correct, today was the day to fill out the preference form at the Guide Academy.

If she couldn’t afford to confront them, she could at least avoid them.

By five thirty, the sky outside was already growing dark.

Red and purple clouds floated in the sky. Wen Song casually flagged down a Flying Car. The moment she entered the Guide Academy, several gazes turned her way.

“Look, that’s Wen Song, just a C-class Guide, shamelessly clinging to Shao An every day. She’ll fill out the same preferences as Shao An again today for sure. But luck is on her side-she and Shao An are childhood betrothals.”

“What? Haven’t you heard? The Wen Family has already changed the betrothal partner to Wen Xu, their biological daughter!”

“What! Really? That’s explosive!”

Wen Song ignored their voices and walked straight into the teacher’s office.

As soon as she entered, she bumped into Shao An, who was about to come out.

The moment he saw Wen Song, Shao An frowned, prepared to ignore whatever she might say.

But in the next second, Wen Song simply walked past him as if she hadn’t even seen him.

“Damn, An-ge, did Wen Song change personalities? Why isn’t she clinging to you today?” someone beside him exclaimed in shock.

Shao An stood where he was, watching Wen Song’s back. His Light Brain was still displaying the message just sent from home: the notice that the engagement partner had been changed to Wen Xu.

Wen Song walked up to the teacher. When the teacher saw Wen Song approach, the smile on her face instantly disappeared and she tossed a preference form in front of her.

“Fill it out.”

Wen Song took the form. If she remembered correctly, this teacher used to be extremely obsequious toward her.

Now that her background was revealed, her attitude changed instantly.

The teacher watched Wen Song pick up the pen, glanced at the preferences Shao An had just filled out, and immediately snatched them away.

Crossing her legs, she said sarcastically, “Some people shouldn’t dream of eating swan meat. Don’t you know your own status?”

Wen Song glanced over the preference form and directly ticked one box.

“Teacher, I heard there’s a surgery called Mouth Suture Surgery, specifically for handling Sentinels in Rampage. If you need it, I can help you.”

The teacher immediately looked up at Wen Song and met her gaze.

In the next moment, a cold, sinister aura spread from the teacher’s feet like tendrils, making her involuntarily shiver.
