TL: Sarah, SnowTime

尚可一边控制精神屏障,一边检查那名黑暗哨兵的精神状况.这是一个枯燥而漫长的过程.精神屏障不仅需要消耗更多精力,而且效率极低.这也是大多数哨兵在进行精神辅助之时不愿意开启屏障的原因.

Shang Ke checked the spiritual state of the Dark Sentinel while controlling the barrier. This was a long and boring process. Spiritual barriers not only consumed more energy, but also were extremely inefficient. This was a reason why most guides were unwilling to activate a barrier while giving spiritual assistance.

尚可面色沉静,慢慢探索,逐一疏离,最后终于让他发现了异常.而此时,已经过去了两个多小时.

Shang Ke looked calm as he slowly explored. He inspected and alienated things one by one. Finally, he found something unusual. At this time, more than two hours had passed.

监控外的人,从开始的兴致盎然,逐渐变得索然无味.一名向导小声对身边的同伴说:"那位黑暗向导不是拥有S级的精神力吗?怎么简单一个精神探测也要花这么长的时间?"

The interested people outside monitoring the situation gradually grew bored. A guide whispered to his companion, "Isn't he a Dark Guide with an S-level spirit? How can a simple spiritual detection take so long? "

他的同伴也抱怨道:"就是啊,我们都坐了两三个小时了,如果他一天探索不完,我们难道要陪他枯等一天?"

His companions also complained, "Yeah, we have been sitting here for two or three hours. If he can't finish his detection in one day, should we wait with him for another day?"

旁边几名向导也露出颇为不耐的表情.

Several guides next to them also displayed very impatient expressions.

这时,一个冷漠的声音插入道:"你们悠闲地坐在舒适的会议厅中都会感到难受,那有没有想过尚可持续使用精神力几个小时是什么感觉?"

Suddenly, an indifferent voice spoke up, "You all feel uncomfortable sitting in a comfortable conference hall. Have you ever thought about what it feels like for Shang Ke to continue using his spiritual powers for several hours?"

向导们闻言,脸色一阵青一阵白.若是其他哨兵这么说他们还敢反驳几句,但说话的人竟然是素来冷傲的米歇尔,他们只能乖乖闭上嘴巴,不敢再多言.

When the guides heard this, their faces turned green and white. If it had been any other sentinel, the guides would have still dared to refute his few words, but the speaker turned out to be Mitchell, who was always known to be cold and proud. They could only keep their mouths shut and didn't speak anymore.

陆斯恩眼神一冷,紧握的手指几乎掐进肉中.他确实对尚可带着偏见,但并非因为他所受到的优待,而是因为米歇尔.陆斯恩从小就喜欢米歇尔,但两人的精神契合度仅仅6%,尚可却轻而易举地达到了96%.这怎能不让他嫉妒?虽然知道即使没有尚可,他们也不可能,但看到他如此青睐一个人,他无论如何也无法平衡.

Lucian's eyes chilled and his clenched fingers almost squeezed into the palm of his hand. He did have his prejudice against Shang Ke, but not because of the preferential treatment he received, but because of Mitchell. Lucian liked Mitchell since he was young but their spiritual compatibility was only 6%, while Shang Ke easily reached 96%. How could this not make him jealous? Although he knew that even if Shang Ke wasn't around, it was impossible for the two of them. But seeing how much Mitchell liked Shang Ke, he couldn't keep himself calm at all.

陆斯恩重新将视线移到屏幕中的尚可身上,心中升起一种想与他一争高下的强烈念头.

Lucian moved his gaze towards Shang Ke on the screen again, and a strong desire to compete with him rose in his heart.

正在这时,医院又接到两名同样症状的哨兵.因为发病状态与之前的哨兵一样,所以他们没有贸然救治,而是直接将人送到了这里.

Just then, the hospital received two more sentinels with the same symptoms. Since the onset of the illness was the same as that of the previous sentinels, they didn't rush to treat the patient and directly sent the patient here.

等院长将人安排好后,陆斯恩突然开口道:"这两人发病时间还不长,不如交给我来探测一下."

After the President arranged the people, Lucian suddenly said, "Those two men haven't been ill for a long time, so why not let me check them out."

以陆斯恩S级的精神力,可以对大部分普通的哨兵进行精神辅助.

With Lucian's S-level spirit, he could provide spiritual assistance to the most ordinary sentinels.

院长迟疑道:"还是等尚可那边的结果吧."

The Dean still hesitated, "Let's wait for the results from Shang Ke."

陆斯恩淡淡道:"只要开启精神屏障,我相信不会有太大危险的."

Lucian replied lightly, "As long as we have a spiritual barrier is open, I believe there wouldn't be too much danger."

见院长依然不同意,陆斯恩又道:"时间紧迫,谁也不能保障尚可探测的结果一定正确,更何况他辅助的是黑暗哨兵,但患病人数更多的却是普通哨兵."

Seeing that the Dean still disagreed, Lucian added, "Time is tight. No one can guarantee that Shang Ke's detection results will be correct. Moreover, he's assisting a Dark Sentinel but there are more ordinary sentinels in need."

闻听此言,院长和其他几人商量片刻,最终应允道:"好,那就辛苦你了,让德温长官保护你."

After hearing this, the Dean discussed it with several other people for a moment, before finally agreeing, "Alright, then we'll leave it to you. Have Officer Dwayne protect you."

德温是一名A级哨兵,同时也是陆斯恩目前的最佳适配者,两人契合度达到了82%.

Dwayne was a Class A Sentinel and was also Lucian's current best match. The compatibility between them was 82%.

陆斯恩率先走出会议厅,德温沉默地跟在他身后.

Lucian took the lead out of the conference hall, and Dwayne followed him in silence.

监控屏幕中,又多了一组画面,陆斯恩开启精神屏障,开始对床上的哨兵进行探测.

In the monitoring screen, there was another image. Lucian opened a spiritual barrier and began to probe the sentinel's mind on the bed.

会议厅中的众人,目不转睛地盯着双方的进展.

All the people in the conference hall were staring at the progress on both sides.

就在陆斯恩探测开始半个小时后,尚可那边发生了变化,原本还算安静的哨兵,突然从床上弹起来,猛地向尚可扑去.亚奥尼斯前移一步,手臂横扫,将他重新甩回床上.

Just half an hour after Lucian's probe began, there was a change in Shang Ke's side. The otherwise quiet sentinel suddenly sprang up bed and pounced on Shang Ke. Yonis moved forward and swept his arms, throwing the sentinel back onto the bed.

正在观看监控的众人猛地站起身,脸上露出紧张的表情,心中同时升起一个念头:难道探测失败了?不,不对,尚可既没有停止辅助,也没有受伤,加上亚奥尼斯的战力,局面应该还在控制中.

All of the people watching suddenly stood up, their expressions tense. At the same time, an idea occurred in their hearts: did the detection fail? No, that's not it. Shang Ke hadn't stopped supporting nor was he injured, and the situation should still be under control due to the Yonis' capabilities.

"不要开启防御屏障,也不要使用精神攻击."尚可清脆的声音从传输器中传出来.

"Don't activate a protective barrier or use spiritual attacks." Shang Ke's clear voice came through the transmitter.

什么?不要开启防御屏障,也不要使用精神攻击?众人见亚奥尼斯瞬间收势,硬抗了狂化哨兵的一次攻击,都忍不住抹了一把冷汗.

What? Don't activate a protective barrier or use spiritual attacks? Everyone watched as Yonis did as he was told and relied purely on his physical body to deal with the crazed sentinel's attacks. They all couldn't help the cold sweat from sliding down their face.

虽然亚奥尼斯很强,但在不使用精神力的情况下,硬抗狂化哨兵的攻击,恐怕也要受不少罪吧?然而,让人出乎意料的是,狂化哨兵虽然一次次地向亚奥尼斯攻击,但他并没有丝毫吃力的样子,反而应付得游刃有余.

Although Yonis was very strong, he would most likely suffer a lot if he didn't use his spiritual powers to resist the crazed Sentinel's attacks. However, to everyone's surprise, although the crazed Sentinel attacked Yonis time and time again, he didn't show any sign of having difficulty dealing with it and was in fact skillfully dealing with the attacks.

"精神共振."米歇尔突然吐出四个字.

"Spiritual Resonance." Mitchell suddenly spat out two words.

什么?这是精神共振?所有人都是一脸懵逼.

What? This was spiritual resonance? Everyone looked dumbfounded.

精神共振发生的概率极低,而且每次都声势浩大,场面华丽,哪像现在这么轻描淡写,不动声色就共振了?他们与两人仅仅隔了几堵墙,竟然什么感觉不到?这完全不科学啊!

The probability of spiritual resonance was extremely low, and every time it happened, it was huge and magnificent, completely unlike the current silence. How could a resonance happen so silently? They were separated from the two by only a few walls and yet they were completely unable to feel anything. This was totally unscientific!

"米歇尔大人,您是不是弄错了?"院长小心翼翼地问.

"Sir Mitchell, are you mistaken?" The President asked carefully.

米歇尔的目光始终没有离开屏幕,只听他淡淡回道:"这是由尚可为主导的精神共振,亚奥尼斯的精神力融入了尚可的领域."

Mitchell's eyes never left the screen, his reply faintly, "This is a spiritual resonance led by Shang Ke. Yonis' spiritual powers has blended into Shang Ke's domain."

"由向导主导的精神共振?"众人一脸震惊,再次看向屏幕时,才发现情况似乎正如米歇尔所说的那般,亚奥尼斯整个人仿佛隐入尚可的领域中,连仪器也捕捉不到,只能看到尚可的精神波动.至于其他人为什么感觉不到精神共振的力量,很可能是因为被尚可的屏障隔绝了.

"A Spiritual Resonance led by the guide?" The crowd was shocked. When they looked at the screen again, they found that the situation seemed to be as Mitchell said. Yonis seemed to have entered Shang Ke's domain and vanished without a trace. Even their equipment couldn't find him and only the fluctuation of Shang Ke's spirit could be seen. As for why others didn't feel the power of spiritual resonance, it was probably because Shang Ke had isolated them with his barrier.

做到这一点,需要极其强大的精神力和控制力以及绝对的信任和完美的契合度.

To do this requires extremely strong spiritual power and control, as well as absolute trust and perfect compatibility.

哨兵发狂的时间不不长,只有四五分钟.一拳停在半空,他神色迷茫,歪歪斜斜地退后几步,然后咚地一声倒在床上,呼呼大睡起来.

The sentinel's madness didn't last long, only four or five minutes. One punch stopped in mid-air and he looked confused, staggering back. Then with a thud, he fell on the bed and fell fast asleep.

尚可缓缓收回精神力,神色有些疲惫,汗珠顺着额角,滑至下颌,浸湿了鬓边的发丝.

Shang Ke slowly withdrew his spiritual power and looked tired. Sweat ran down his forehead and chin, soaking the hair on his temples.

一只有力的手臂扶住他的后背,亚奥尼斯眼中透着心疼:"辛苦了,我们回去吧."

A powerful arm supported him on the back. Yonis' eyes were filled with distress for him, "You worked hard, let's go home."

尚可点点头,然后被亚奥尼斯一把抱起,朝会议厅走去.

Shang Ke nodded and he was picked up by Yonis, heading towards the conference hall.

会议厅中的众人早已急不可耐,见两人进来,立刻问道:"情况怎么样?查出什么病因了吗?"

Everyone in the conference hall were already impatient. Seeing the two men come in, they immediately asked, "How's the situation? Have you found out what the cause is?"

尚可接过亚奥尼斯递来的温水喝了一口,回道:"是气味."

Shang Ke drank a sip of the warm water from Yonis and answered, "It's smell."

亚奥尼斯挨着尚可坐下,旁若无人地圈住他的腰.

Yonis sat down next to Shang Ke and encircled his waist as if they weren't surrounded by people.

"气味?"院长急问,"你是说引发游离症的物质是气味?"

"Smell?" The President asked urgently, "You mean the substance that causes psychosis is smell?"

"是的."尚可自然地靠在要奥尼斯的身上,解释道,"我猜测这是一种带有特殊刺激气味的毒药,普通人和向导都闻不到,但感官敏锐的哨兵却可以闻到,并立刻形成记忆,然后侵蚀精神领域,让他们的大脑产生一种始终被这种气味笼罩的错觉,就像身处浓烟中,除非精神力被燃烧殆尽,否则就会一直'闻'到这种气味."

"Yes." Shang Ke naturally leaned against Yonis and explained, "I guess this is a poison with a special stimulating smell that ordinary people and guides can't detect, but sensitive sentinels can. They immediately form memories and erode the spiritual domain, giving their brains the illusion of being enveloped in this smell entirely, like being stuck in a thick fog. Unless their spiritual powers are completely used up, they'll 'smell' this scent all the time."

众人将信将疑,几番询问后,才终于相信了尚可的探测结果.

Everyone looked skeptical. After several inquiries, they finally believed Shang Ke's detection results.

"这种能够让哨兵陷入游离状态的药物,是人为制造的吗?"一名哨兵突然问道.

"Is this kind of drug, which can make sentinels fall into psychosis, artificially made?" A sentinel suddenly asked.

尚可保守地回答:"我觉得很有可能."哨兵的免疫力很高,自然气味只能让他们烦闷暴躁,再严重一点就是精神紊乱.即使是具有致幻效果的药物,也不可能轻易让他们进入游离状态.

Shang Ke replied cautiously, "I think it's very possible." Sentinels have high immunity so natural scents can only make them annoyed and irritable while something more serious can cause spiritual disorder. Even drugs with hallucinogenic effects couldn't make them fall into psychosis so easily.

如果猜测正确,那么有目的又有能力制造这种药物的势力,无疑就是反政联盟.

If their speculation was correct, then the forces that have the purpose and ability to manufacture this kind of drug were undoubtedly the Anti-Government Union.

众人神色凝重,议论纷纷.

Everyone focused on the matter on hand as they discussed without a pause.

这时,尚可又开口道:"还有一点需要注意."

At this moment, Shang Ke spoke up again, "There is one more thing to take note."

众人的目光再次集中在他身上.

All eyes focused on him once more.

"这种症状是会传染的."

"The symptoms are contagious."

"传染?"一句话引起一片哗然.

"Contagious?" A single word caused an uproar.

"之前两位向导对哨兵进行治疗时,没有开启精神屏障,以至于被哨兵的精神记忆所感染.这种药物最可怕之处,就是能够形成固定记忆,持续刺激患者的精神,就像一种暗示,当你触碰到这种暗示时,你就会被催眠.向导的免疫力远远不如哨兵,所以在接到暗示的瞬间就被感染,直至精神力回归初始才恢复神智."

"The first two guides that tried to treat the sentinels didn't activate their spiritual barriers, so they were infected by the sentinel's spiritual memory. The most frightening thing about this drug is that it forms itself as a fixed memory and continues to stimulate the patient's consciousness. It's like a trigger, the moment you touch that trigger, you'll be hypnotized. Guides aren't as immune to it as sentinels, so the moment they touch that trigger, they're infected. It lasts until their spiritual power returns to its original state and they can recover their minds."

众人露出恍然之色.

The crowd all had enlightened faces.

向导公会会长问道:"这么说,你不让亚奥尼斯使用精神攻击,也是为了防止他被那种精神暗示所感染?"

The President asked, "So, you didn't allow Yonis to use spiritual attacks earlier to prevent him from being infected by those who are?"

"是的."尚可点头,"当精神力接触时,无论是哨兵还是向导,都有可能被感染."

"Yes." Shang Ke nodded, "When spiritual powers come into contact with another infected one, both the sentinel and the guide may be infected."

院长脸色微变,转头看向公会会长:"如果情况属实,我们恐怕要开始全国戒严了."

The Dean's face changed slightly. He turned to the President of the Guild, "If the situation is true, I'm afraid we'll have to implement martial law nationwide."

向导人数比哨兵少,而且等级参差不齐,一旦事态恶化,很多哨兵肯定得不到及时救治,一部分向导也无法幸免.

The number of guides was less than that of sentinels, and the ranks were uneven. Once things grew worse, many sentinels definitely wouldn't be treated in time, and some guides wouldn't come out unscathed.

会长认可地点点头.

The President nodded approvingly.

正在这时,一名向导突然惊呼道:"快看陆斯恩!"

Just then, a guide suddenly exclaimed in horror, "Look at Lucian!"

众人连忙转头,只见屏幕中,陆斯恩负责的这名哨兵也发起狂来,他身边的向导德温立刻开启了保护屏障.

The crowd hurriedly turned and saw on the screen that the sentinel Lucian was in charge of was going crazy. Dwayne, the sentinel beside him, immediately activated a protective barrier.

"不好!"院长等人同时起身.

"This is bad!" The Dean and others got up at the same time.

德温是一名经验丰富的哨兵,在开启屏障的瞬间,便使用了精神攻击.这个过程不过两秒,狂化哨兵很快被击飞出去.随后,德温身体一僵,脸上露出痛苦之色,似乎在极力压抑着什么.

Dwayne was an experienced sentinel who used spiritual attacks the moment he opened the barrier. The process lasted only two seconds, and the mad sentinel was quickly sent flying. After that, Dwayne's body froze and his face looked painful, as if he were trying to suppress something.

"德温,你怎么了?"陆斯恩一边支撑着自己的屏障,一边焦急地朝德温看去.

"Dwayne, what's wrong with you?" Lucian supported his own barrier and looked anxiously at Dwayne.

德温没有回答,保持着防御的姿态一动不动.

Dwayne didn't answer, keeping a defensive posture rigidly.

这时,狂化哨兵再次向他攻来,拳头重重砸在他胸口,他依然没有移动分毫,直挺挺地伫立在陆斯恩的身前.

Suddenly, the crazed sentinel attacked him again, his fists pounding against his chest. He still didn't move an inch, standing firmly in front of Lucian.

陆斯恩终于察觉不对,分出一丝精神力探测德温的情况,结果惊惶地发现他竟然也出现了游离的征兆.

Lucian finally noticed something was wrong and split off a piece of his spiritual power to detect Dwayne's situation. He was dismayed to find that he was also showing signs of psychosis.

陆斯恩顾不上那名狂化的哨兵,想要先救德温,结果因为精神力转移,原本稳固的屏障开始动荡,眼见就要崩塌,另一道屏障突然出现,将两人笼罩其中.

Lucian neglected the crazed sentinel and wanted to save Dwayne first. But due to the shift of spiritual power, the originally stable barrier began to shake. Seeing it was about to collapse, another barrier suddenly appeared and enveloped the two of them.

"会长."陆斯恩惊喜地看向来人.

"President." Lucian was pleasantly surprised to see the old man.

"退出来."会长吩咐道.

"Get out of here." The President ordered.

陆斯恩不敢迟疑,伸手去拉德温的手,结果手指刚刚碰到他,就被带入了游离状态.

Lucian didn't hesitate and reached for Dwayne's hand. As a result, his finger had just touched him when he was taken into a psychosis state.

原来陆斯恩对德温的精神治疗还没有停止,自己的屏障却已经撤销了,所以在接触德温的瞬间,他也受到了感染.

It turned out that Lucian's psychiatric treatment for Dwayne had not stopped, but his own barrier had been removed, so he was infected the moment he made contact with Dwayne.

会长的脸色当即一变,他刚才将两人一起纳入了自己的屏障,还没来得及分隔,陆斯恩这边就发生了变故.

The President's face immediately changed. He just pulled the two of them together into his barrier and hadn't had the chance to separate them. Now Lucian was having a problem too.

哨兵被感染还能治疗,向导一旦被感染,精神力很快就会消耗殆尽.

Infected sentinels could still be treated. But once a guide was infected, their spiritual powers would soon be exhausted.

正在危机之际,一只手突然伸出来,抓住陆斯恩的手腕,将他和德温分开.

At the moment of crisis, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed Lucian's wrist, separating him from Dwayne.

"尚可,你干什么!"亚奥尼斯刚刚制住发狂的哨兵,回头就见尚可在作死.

"Shang Ke, what are you doing!?" Yonis had just captured the frantic sentinel when he saw Shang Ke courting disaster.

尚可是黑暗向导,无法兼容普通哨兵的精神力,必然也会与普通向导产生排斥.

Shang Ke was a Dark Guide. He was incompatible with the spirits of ordinary sentinels and would inevitably reject ordinary guides.

"啊!"陆斯恩痛叫一声,正要怒视尚可,却被他用力拉出了会长的屏障.

"Ah!" Lucian gave a painful cry and was about to glower at Shang Ke when he was pulled out of the President's barrier.

"你想害死我们吗?"陆斯恩站稳身形,大声斥责.话刚说完,却发现众人都用奇怪的眼神看着他和尚可.

"Do you want to kill us?" Lucian stood firm and rebuked loudly. As soon as he finished speaking, he found that everyone looked at him and Shang Ke with strange eyes.

那眼神几个意思?

What is the meaning of that look of yours?

"尚可,这是怎么回事?你不是黑暗向导吗?"一名向导忍不住问道,"为什么连普通向导都可以治疗?"

"Shang Ke, what's going on? Aren't you a Dark Guide?" A guide couldn't help asking, "Why can you treat normal guides too?"

刚才大家都看到了,陆斯恩已经出现感染症状,但尚可只是随手一抓,就把他的神智给抓回来了.

Everyone saw what happened just now. Lucian was already showing symptoms of infection but Shang Ke managed to capture his sanity with a quick grab.

尚可笑道:"这叫'刺激疗法'.我跟普通哨兵和向导的精神力不兼容,强行接触会产生反作用力,我就是利用这种反作用力把陆斯恩给震醒了."

Shang Ke laughed, "This is called 'stimulus therapy'. I'm not compatible with the spirit of ordinary sentinels and guides. Forced contact will produce a reflective reaction, which was what I used to wake Lucian up. "

"这么说,你完全可以利用这种方法去治疗普通哨兵啊,简单粗暴,安全有效."一名心思活络的哨兵立刻说道.

"So what you're saying is that you can use this method to treat ordinary sentinels. It is simple, crude, safe and effective." A sentinel with an active mind immediately said.

尚可见众人一脸"原来还可以这样"的表情,心里默默翻了个白眼,说道:"这种方法只适用于刚被感染的人."

When Shang Ke saw the people's expression that looked as if they were thinking, so you could do that, he silently rolled his eyes, "This method is only applicable to newly infected people."

如果真的对那些哨兵使用"刺激疗法",绝对只会死得更快.

If "stimulus therapy" was really applied to those sentinels, they would definitely die faster.

众人闻言,无不失望.

When they heard this, they were all disappointed.

陆斯恩这才知道自己原来被尚可救了,表情不免有些僵硬,干巴巴地道了一声:"谢谢."

Only then did Lucian realize that he had been saved by Shang Ke. His expression was somewhat stiff and he said in a dry voice, "Thank you."

尚可笑道:"不用客气.你应该谢谢德温,他即使失去意识,也记得要保护你,否则你恐怕等不到我们赶到就会受到伤害."

Shang Ke laughed, "You're welcome. You should thank Dwayne. Even if he lost consciousness, he remembered to protect you, otherwise you would have been hurt before we could arrive. "

陆斯恩转头看向那个男人挺直的背影,心中生出一种微妙的感觉.

Lucian turned to look at the man's straight back, a subtle feeling emerging from his heart.

他又转向尚可,准备再认真道一声谢,却见尚可眼神一凝,随即猛地向他扑过来.

He turned to Shang Ke again, ready to express his gratitude when he saw Shang Ke's eyes focused on something and he rushed at him.

陆斯恩整个人被扑倒在地,正在晕眩间,突然感觉几滴温热的液体滴在他的脸上.

Lucian was thrown to the ground and he felt dizzy. Suddenly, there were drops of warm liquid dripping onto his face.

他睁开眼,见尚可半撑着身体,低垂着头,嘴角渗出鲜血,脸上却还挂着笑容:"好险..."

He opened his eyes and found Shang Ke half propped up above him, his head lowered and blood oozing out of the corners of his mouth. But with a smile on his face, Shang Ke murmured, "That was a close call …"

"尚可!"身边一阵疾风刮过,尚可随即被揽入一个熟悉的怀抱.亚奥尼斯看着他背后大片鲜血,眼中露出遮掩不住的恐惧.

"Shang Ke!" As a gust of wind blew by, Shang Ke was immediately taken into a familiar embrace. Yonis looked at the large pool of blood on his back and his eyes showed naked fear.

"对不起,他是为了救我..."陆斯恩的话还没说完,就被亚奥尼斯可怕的眼神给打断.

"I'm sorry, it was because he tried to save me…" Lucian didn't get to finish when he was interrupted by the dangerous look in Yonis' eyes.

"滚!"他暴喝一声,浑身杀气凛然.

"Scram!" He shouted and his whole body was fully enveloped in a murderous aura.

尚可靠在亚奥尼斯的肩头,虚弱道:"别怪他,袭击者应该是冲着我来的."

Shang Ke leaned on Yonis' shoulder and said weakly, "Don't blame him. The attacker was probably aiming for me."

陆斯恩也是一头红发,虽然深浅略有不同,但在距离过远的情况下,很容易被错认成他.

Lucian also had red hair and although the shade was slightly different, it was easy to mistake him for Shang Ke since the Union had been too far away…

最有力的证据是,他听到了系统的提示:[主线任务完成倒计时...]

The greatest evidence came from the System notice: [Main Mission Completion Countdown…]

倒计时?尚可微微一愣,怎么还有倒计时?

Countdown? Shang Ke was a bit confused. Why was there a countdown?

[宿主的生命正在快速流失,如果存活,主线任务就算完成,如果死亡,就算失败.]

[Host's life is quickly fading away, if you survive, the Main Mission will be counted as complete but if you die, then it will be a failure.]

慢着,他的目的不是英勇赴死吗?为了死亡会失败?

Wait a second, wasn't his purpose heroic death? He was doing it for death, but he could fail anyway?

[主线任务内容是:"躲"过反政联盟三次暗杀.如果宿主死亡,说明他们暗杀成功,任务自然也算失败.]

[The Main Mission content was: "Survive" Three Assassination Attempts by the Anti-Government Union. If Host dies, then it means they have succeeded in their assassination which means failure of the mission.]

还能这样!

So this could happen too!

尚可尽量保持最后一丝意识,紧紧抓住亚奥尼斯的手臂:亲爱的,你一定要救活我!让我再经历一次困难加成的惩罚世界无所谓,但任务失败意味着拿不到足够的奖励值,也就无法得到回溯之匙!

Shang Ke tried his best to keep his last consciousness and he held onto Yonis' arm: Dear, you must save me! It doesn't matter if I have to go through another punishment world with bonus difficulty. But the failure of the task means that I can't get enough reward points to get the key of backtracking!

尚可从来没有产生过如此强烈的求胜欲望.

Shang Ke never had such a strong desire to live.

然而,他最终还是没能挺过去,甚至连与亚奥尼斯道别的机会都没有.

However, he still couldn't hold on and finally succumbed to his injury. He didn't even have the chance to say goodbye to Yonis.

当他再睁开眼时,又回到了系统空间.

When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the System space.

人死了,任务也没完成...

He died and failed his mission too…

[恭喜宿主完成主线任务——躲过反政联盟三次暗杀.]

[Congratulations to Host for completing the Main Mission—Survive Three Assassination Attempts by the Anti-Government Union.]

嗯?系统,你不是逗我吧?我警告你,我现在心情很差,如果让我发现你在逗我,我一定会狂化的!

Eh? System, you aren't playing with me are you? I will warn you right now, I am in a very bad mood. If you let me find out you are playing with me, I will go into berserker mode!

[系统从来不逗人,宿主确实完成了主线任务.]

[The System never plays with people, Host has truly completed the Main Mission.]

"你不是说如果我死亡,任务就算失败吗?"

"Didn't you say if I die, then the mission would be counted as failure?"

[原则上没错,但是,你中奖了.]

[Generally that is true. However, you won the prize this time.]

"中奖?什么奖?"

"Prize? What prize?"

[人工造物奖.]

[Human Creation Prize.]

"?"能给个明白吗?

"?" Can you elaborate a bit more on that?

[你怀孕了.]

[You're pregnant.]

什么!

What!

[宿主在死前被发现怀孕三个月,胚胎种子从你体内取出,在人工培育槽中得以存活.血脉的延续,也可以作为你生命的延续,所以系统判定你任务完成.]

[Before Host died, they discovered that you were three months pregnant. The embryo was taken out of your body and survived artificial cultivation. The continuation of your bloodline can also count as the continuation of your life, so the System has judged your mission complete.]

尚可一脸懵逼.

Shang Ke was thoroughly dumbfounded.

他居然怀孕了?怀孕了!

He actually got pregnant? Pregnant!

比起任务失败,尚可觉得等他死后才知道自己怀孕这件事更让他心塞.

Compared to failing his mission, learning that he was pregnant after his death made him even sadder.

如果早知道,他还会去救陆斯恩吗?如果没救陆斯恩,他不仅可以活着完成任务,而且还能亲眼看看自己的孩子.算了,"英勇"几乎已经成了他的本能,如果看到有人遇险而不救,那就体现不出"圣母"的本质了.

If he had known earlier, would he have saved Lucian? If Lucian hadn't been saved, he would not only have finished the task alive, but also see his child with his own eyes. Forget it, "heroic" had almost become an instinct now. If he saw someone in distress and failed to save him, he would embody the essence of "Holy Mother".

他倒是光荣了,但他男人迎接新生命的同时,却又要面对他的死亡,想想都觉得难受.唯一庆幸的是,孩子活下来了,若是一尸两命...尚可不敢想象,亚奥尼斯会如何的痛苦?

He had obtained glory, but for his man, who had just welcomed new life, also had to face his death at the same time. Just thinking about it made him feel uncomfortable. The only good news was that the child survived. If his one death took away two lives… Shang Ke didn't dare imagine how painful it would have been for Yonis.

尚可重新打起精神,继续任务,努力赚取奖励值,获得回溯之匙!

Shang Ke gathered up his spirits again to continue his missions and work hard to obtain reward points. So that he could go back again!
