Chapter 154: I Am An Evil Pen (XI)

---

TL: Resonance

    陈子雄刚踏进洗手间，头顶的灯光便忽然闪烁了几下，他也没太在意，视线在洗手间来回扫过，搜寻尚可的身影。他原本就偏好柏霖这种俊美的男人，刚才见到尚可，更是惊为天人。

Chen Zixiong had just stepped into the restroom when the light above him suddenly flickered. He didn’t pay it much attention. He glanced around the restroom in search of Shang Ke’s figure. He had always prefered handsome man like Bai Lin. It was even more astonishing for him when he saw Shang Ke just now.

    虽然闻景戎有些不好惹，但陈子雄在黑道上的势力，也不是对方轻易能动的。趁那个男人被柏霖引开，他迫不及待想和美人深入认识一下。

Wen Jingrong was not to be trifled with, but Chen Zixiong’s power in the underworld was also the same. He can’t wait to have a deeper understanding with the beauty as he takes advantage of the time when that man is being led away by Bai Lin.

    洗手间中，寂静无声，灯光似乎比平常暗淡许多，昏黄昏黄的，让人感觉有些压抑。

It was very quiet in the restroom. The lights seem dimmer than usual and shone faint yellow light, making people feel depressed.

    陈子雄没有在挂式小便池附近见到人，想来美人应该是进入小隔间了。他有些郁闷，难道要傻站在门外等？想了想，还是决定去走廊站会，顺便抽根烟。

Chen Zixiong didn’t see anyone near the urinals, so he thought that the beauty should have entered the cubicle. He felt a little depressed. Does he have to wait stupidly outside the door? After thinking for a bit, he decided to wait outside at the corridor and also smoke while waiting.

    谁知刚刚转身，就听到一阵哗啦的水声，感应水龙头无缘无故地放起水来。陈子雄下意识走过去试了试，水流又停住了。

He had just turned around when he heard the sound of water. Water has started flowing out of the tap for no reason. Chen Zixiong subconsciously walked over to test the tap when the flow of water stopped.

    “搞什么？坏了吗？”陈子雄嘟囔一声，抬头随意朝镜子看去，发现身后一个小隔间的门不知什么时候打开了一条缝隙。陈子雄还以为美人要出来了，正要转身，却见四根惨白的手指缓缓从黑暗的缝隙中探出来，随后露出一只闪着血光的眼睛，好似正贴在门缝处冷冷地窥视他。

“What’s going on? Is it spoilt?” Chen Zixiong mumbled. He looked up at the mirror arbitrarily and realised that there was an opening at the cubicle door behind him. Chen Zixiong had thought that the beauty was going to come out. He was about to turn around when he saw four pale white fingers slowly stretching out from the dark opening. Subsequently, a bloody eye could be seen, as if it was coldly peeking at him through the opening.

    陈子雄只觉得寒毛倒竖，一股凉气直冲脑门。

Chen Zixiong felt all his hair standing as a chill ran down his spine.

    他猛地回神，发现隔间的门关得好好的，完全没有打开的迹象，正准备松口气，却猛然警觉，刚才他明明看到这个隔间显示正在使用，但此刻却是无人状态。难道是他眼花了？

He came back to his senses and realised that the cubicle door is still properly closed with no signs of being opened. He was about to let out a sigh of relief when he suddenly became alert. Just now, he had clearly seen that the cubicle was indicated as occupied. However, it is currently indicated as unoccupied. Was his eyes playing tricks on him?

    陈子雄微微低头，目光不经意扫过地面，随即立刻感到毛骨悚然，在昏黄的灯光映照下，地面上赫然出现了两个重叠的影子，好像有人正紧贴他的后背站着。

Chen Zixiong lowered his head slightly and his sight inadvertently glanced at the floor. Then, he immediately felt creeped out. Under the faint yellow light, two overlapping shadows have formed on the floor, as if someone was standing really closely right behind him.

    陈子雄的呼吸变得粗重起来，在死寂的洗手间中，显得格外清晰。他双腿僵直，完全无法动弹。眼珠缓慢移动，用余光朝墙上的镜子瞥去，身后空无一人。

Chen Zixiong started breathing heavily. It was especially clear in the quiet restroom. His legs were completely stiff and he couldn’t move them at all. He moved his eyes slowly and looked at the mirror on the wall through the corner of his eyes. There was no one behind him.

    陈子雄呼了口气，觉得是自己神经过敏了，移动发麻的双腿，缓缓转过身，猛然对上一张惨白扭曲的面孔。

Chen Zixiong took in a deep breath, thinking that he was just being oversensitive. He moved his numb leg and slowly turned around, only to come face to face with a pale white and distorted face.

    “啊！”陈子雄惊叫一声，脚步踉跄着向后退去，直到背靠在冰冷的墙面上。

“Ah!” Chen Zixiong screamed and his feet staggered backwards until he was back against the cold wall.

    在他面前，直挺挺地站着一个浑身是血的男人，他抬起那颗摇摇欲坠的头颅，对他露出诡异的笑容。头顶的灯光再次闪烁起来，不过眨眼的功夫，眼前的男人就不见了。

Before him stood a man whose body was covered in blood. The man raised his head which was close to falling off his neck and showed Chen Zixiong a strange smile. The lights above their heads started flickering again and the man disappeared in a blink of an eye.

    但这并没有让陈子雄好受一点，因为在他惊惧地四下扫视时，几根如冰锥一般的手指，悄悄爬上他的肩头，冻得他半边身体好像都麻痹了。

However, this didn’t make Chen Zixiong feel better. When he was looking around in horror, a few ice-cold fingers quietly climbed up his shoulders, the chill paralyzing his body.

    “为……什……么……要杀我？”一个阴恻恻的声音突然传入陈子雄的耳中。

“Why… did… you… kill me?” A sinister voice suddenly sounded in Chen Zixiong’s ears. 

    尚可的脸孔出现在陈子雄身后。

Shang Ke’s face appeared behind Chen Zixiong.

    他用煞气侵入了陈子雄的大脑，让他产生幻觉。他本身没有变，但陈子雄看到的却是他曾经害死的人。

Shang Ke has used his negative energy to invade Chen Zixiong’s brain and let him hallucinate. Shang Ke’s appearance didn’t change, but what Chen Zixiong sees is someone he has killed before.

    作为一只专门吸收煞气的笔妖，最擅长的就是泯灭人性，沦丧道德，激发人类心中潜藏的阴暗。别以为煞笔不发威，就当他是一支纯洁无害的好笔。世上还有比煞笔更可怕的生物吗？

As a demonic pen who absorbs negative energy, what he was best at was destroying someone’s humanity and morality, and stimulating the darkness hiding in every human’s heart. Just because an evil pen doesn’t show his power doesn’t mean he is a pure, harmless and good pen. Is there any being scarier than an evil pen in this world?

    没有！

No!

    尚可又发出阴恻恻的笑声，几乎把陈子雄吓尿。

Shang Ke let out a sinister laugh and seemed to have caused Chen Zixiong to pee his pants.

    “王，王渠，你知道我的行事风格。”陈子雄颤抖地说道，“你没把事情利索，被JC查出来了，我，我只能把你给处理掉。”

“Wang, Wang Qu, you know how I do things.” Chen Zixiong trembled while speaking, “You didn’t handle the matter cleanly and got found out by the police. I, I can only kill you.”

    王渠？尚可记得自己曾经在闻景戎的调查档案中见过这个名字，正是之前纵火的凶犯之一。没想到这件事竟然与陈子雄有关。

Wang Qu? Shang Ke remembers seeing this name before on Wen Jingrong’s investigation file. He was one of the arsonists. He didn’t expect that this matter had something to do with Chen Zixiong.

    “王渠。”陈子雄继续道，“你放心，我会好好安顿你的家人，给他们一大笔钱。在道上混的人，随时都有可能丢掉性命，重要的是，让家人有一个安稳的未来不是吗？”

“Wang Qu.” Chen Zixiong continued, “Don’t worry, I will properly arrange for your family and give them a lot of money. People who work for the underworld can lose their lives any time. Isn’t it most important for your family member to have a stable future?”

    在这种情况下还懂得晓之以理，和冤鬼讲情怀。这家伙也算强悍了。

This fellow can be considered pretty tough. He could even explain and talk about feelings in this kind of situation.

    “我这次来，就是想告诉你一件事。”尚可冷幽幽地说。

“I came this time to tell you something.” Shang Ke said coldly.

    “什么？”

“What is it?”

    “我其实一直很喜欢你，想和你上床。”

“Actually, I have always liked you and wish to have sex with you.”

    “什么！”陈子雄觉得这件事比他见鬼更可怕。王渠长得五大三粗，那张脸简直就是他父母偷工减料下的豆腐渣工程。如果不是四肢健全，他几乎都不知道那是个人。

“What!” Chen Zixiong felt that this matter was more terrible than him seeing a ghost. Wang Qu looked tall and strong and his face was basically like a shoddy construction that his parents cut corners on. If not for his four properly intact limbs, Chen Zixiong almost couldn’t tell that this person was a human.

    “你别怕，我会悄悄附在你床伴身上，你不会察觉的。”

“Don’t be afraid. I will secretly possess your bed partner. You won’t be able to notice it.”

    什么叫“不会察觉”？陈子雄几乎要哭了。以后每次找床伴都会怀疑床伴身体里藏着一个丑鬼，然后分分钟阳痿好吗？想和他上床就默默上了好了，特意过来告诉他干什么！他一点都不想知道真相。

What do you mean by “won’t be able to notice”? Chen Zixiong wanted to cry. Every time he finds a bed partner from now on, he is going to start doubting whether there’s an ugly ghost hiding within the person. He’s going to have erectile dysfunction every minute okay? If he wished to have sex with him, then just do it quietly. Why did he come and tell him specifically! He didn’t want to know the truth at all.

    “满足了我，我就不会再来纠缠你了。”尚可冰冷的手指在陈子雄脖子上滑动，冒出丝丝煞气，冻得他直打哆嗦。

“I will stop pestering you after you satisfied me.” Shang Ke’s ice cold fingers slide about on Chen Zixiong’s neck, letting out strands of negative energy and chilling him to the point of trembling.

    不和鬼上床，就得被鬼纠缠，陈子雄觉得自己未来的人生一片惨烈。

If he doesn’t have sex with a ghost, he will be pestered by the ghost. Chen Zixiong felt that his future will be very tragic.

    正当尚可打算进一步蹂躏这个坏蛋时，洗手间中突然响起一阵手机铃声。

Just when Shang Ke was about to ravage this scoundrel further, a phone’s ringing suddenly sounded in the restroom.

    陈子雄大脑一震，猛然从幻觉中清醒过来。四周空无一人，原本阴冷的气息也消失无踪。若非看到自己的裤子湿了一片，他几乎以为是在做梦。

Chen Zixiong got a shock and came back to his senses from the hallucination. There was no one around and the cold air disappeared completely. He would have thought that it was all a dream if not for the wet patch on his pants.

    陈子雄不敢多留，仓惶逃出洗手间，直奔酒店外的停车场。可以预见，他很长一段时间，都将在禁欲和惶恐中度过……

Chen Zixiong didn’t dare to stay any longer. He quickly fled from the restroom and rushed straight to the carpark outside the hotel. One can foresee that he will be living in abstinence and fear for a very long period of time… 

    待他离开，灯光重新变得明亮，尚可显出身形，点开手机，一脸春风和煦：“喂，我在洗手间，嗯，马上就来。”

After he left, the lights became bright again and Shang Ke’s figure appeared. He answered the phone with a face looking like a spring breeze, “Hello. I’m in the restroom. Mm, I’m coming out soon.”

    挂上时机，尚可步履轻快地朝外面走去。

After hanging up, Shang Ke walked outside briskly.

    正在门口等他的闻景戎见他笑容满面的样子，问道：“遇到什么好事了吗？”

Wen Jingrong was waiting for him at the entrance. When he saw that Shang Ke’s face was full of smiles, he asked, “Did you encounter something good?”

    “嗯，吃到了很好吃的东西。”尚可满足回答。

“Mm, I ate something delicious.” Shang Ke replied in satisfaction.

    “哦？什么东西？下次我让人给你买。”

“Oh? What is it? I will ask someone to buy it for you next time.”

    “不用了，那东西再好吃，也比不上你给我做的饭。”可以毒死人的黑暗料理，只此一家别无分号，尚可简直爱死了。

“No need. No matter how delicious it is, it can’t compare to the food you make for me.” A dark cuisine that can poison someone to death can only be made by him. Shang Ke simply loved it.

    闻景戎盯着他看了半晌，才确定他不是在说笑，心里有些小小得意，一口答应：“好，明天就给你做。”

Wen Jingrong was certain that Shang Ke wasn’t joking around only after staring at him for a long while. He felt a little smug and agreed immediately, “Okay, I will cook for you tomorrow.”

    尚可一脸幸福满满。

Shang Ke looked full of happiness.

    回去后，尚可将陈子雄的事情告诉了闻景戎，推测他就是上次纵火的幕后指使者。

Shang Ke told Wen Jingrong about Chen Zixiong after they returned. He speculated that Chen Zixiong had arranged for the previous fire behind the scene.

    闻景戎蹙眉：“我和他井水不犯河水，他没道理这么做啊。难道是有人收买了他？”

Wen Jingrong frowned. “I have nothing to do with him, he has no reason to do this. Did someone bribe him?” 

    “无论怎样都好，至少是一条线索。”尚可坐在床上一边玩电脑一边回答。

“No matter what it is, this is still a clue at least.” Shang Ke sat on the bed and answered while playing the computer.

    “嗯。”闻景戎凑过去抱住他的腰，“你是怎么知道这件事的？”

“Mm.” Wen Jingrong went over and hugged him on the waist. “How did you know about this?”

    “靠灯光、靠造型、靠气氛。”尚可瞥了他一眼，“说了你也不懂。”

“By lighting, modelling and atmosphere.” Shang Ke gave him a glance and said, “You wouldn’t understand even if I said it anyway.”

    闻景戎见他一副“我就是如此聪明伶俐智慧无双与尔等凡夫俗子不可相提并论”的小样，忍不住将他扑倒。

Wen Jingrong saw his “I’m just so smart, clever and unparalleled, you mere mortals can’t compare” look and couldn’t help but press him down.

    “电脑要被压坏了！”尚可呼叫。

“You’re going to crush the computer!” Shang Ke shouted.

    “压坏了再买。”闻景戎随手将手提一扔，将尚可捞进被子，开始对他进行深入而细致的性教育……

“Just buy a new one if it’s crushed.” Wen Jingrong threw it aside without hesitation and dragged Shang Ke under the blanket. Then, he started giving Shang Ke an in depth and meticulous sex education… 

    第二天，闻景戎便派人暗中调查陈子雄以及与他来往密切的人。

The next day, Wen Jingrong sent someone to secretly investigate Chen Zixiong and the people who are close to him.

    结果很快发现了一个让他意外的人——柏霖。

He soon found someone surprising—Bai Lin.

    他没想到外表清高的柏霖会和这种人来往，而且关系不同寻常。只是他没有直接证据证明他们与那场纵火案有关，除非能从他们的手机上找到相关的通话记录。但如今手机隐私设置非常严密，他们如果每次通话都进行了痕迹清理，闻景戎也没办法获取有用的信息。

He didn’t expect that the pure looking Bai Lin would interact with this kind of person, and their relationship didn’t seem normal. However, he didn’t have evidence that the two of them were related to the arson case, unless he could get his hands on the call record on their phones. Nevertheless, phones these days have strict privacy settings. Wen Jingrong wouldn’t be able to obtain any useful information anyway if they delete their records every time after they called.

    尚可则是一边关注庆威的工程进度，一边抓紧时间与闻景戎享受甜蜜生活。

Shang Ke paid attention to the progress of Qingwei’s project while making use of all the time he had to enjoy his sweet life with Wen Jingrong.

    为了长期发展，尚可每隔一周才会成人一次，每隔三天入梦一次，其他时间要么待在魔数笔中，要么就变成小人模样出来放风。

For the sake of long-term development, Shang Ke would turn into an adult only once every week and enter Wen Jingrong’s dream once every three days. For the rest of the time, he would either stay within the magic pen or become a thumb sized person to come out for fresh air.

    闻景戎表示抗议，要求将成人时间从一周改为两天。结果遭到尚可毫不留情的拒绝，理由是：“笔短体虚。”

Wen Jingrong protested and requested that he turned into an adult once every two days instead of once every week. However, he was rejected mercilessly by Shang Ke with the reason being, “A pen has a weak constitution.[1]”

    闻景戎不要脸地说：“你短一点没什么，只要我够长不就好了？”

Wen Jingrong said shamelessly, “So what if you’re a little short? Wouldn’t it be enough as long as I’m long?”

    尚可就两个字：“离婚。”

Shang Ke only said one word, “Divorce.”

    闻景戎立马改口：“你说的算，一周就一周。”

Wen Jingrong changed his words immediately, “What you say is right. Once a week it is.”

    没有量，那就把质提一提吧。一周一次，一次一天。

Since there’s no quantity, then let’s raise the quality. Once a week, each time the whole day.

    和谐美好地过了两个月，闻景戎那边的调查有了结果，他利用黑客在陈子雄的手机里复制了一段录音，是某人让他纵火的对话。虽然听出是柏霖的声音，不过具体情况还得先找陈子雄确认。

Two months passed by harmoniously and happily, and there were results to Wen Jingrong’s investigation. He asked a hacker to make a copy of the recording in Chen Zixiong’s phone. It was a conversation of someone asking him to set the fire. He could tell that it was Bai Lin’s voice in the recording, but he still has to check with Chen Zixiong to find out more about the specific situation.

    只是当JC想要抓捕他时，他却早已逃之夭夭。陈子雄是老江湖，长年与JC打交道，应对起来驾轻就熟，根本没把他们看在眼里。

However, he had already fled when the police wanted to arrest him. Chen Zixiong has been in his line for a long time and had to deal with the police for many years. He was already familiar with how to deal with them and didn’t pay them much attention.

    柏霖没有他那种心理素质，收到消息后，心里便开始慌乱起来，直接将陈子雄拉入黑名单，完全中断了与他的联系。

Bai Lin didn’t have such psychological qualities like him. After receiving the news, he started panicking and directly blocked Chen Zixiong, completely cutting off their contact.

    陈子雄最近正是不顺心的时候，男色女色都没敢近，几乎要憋出神经质了。如今又被柏霖给拉了黑名单，更是怒从胸中起。

Chen Zixiong has been feeling unhappy recently. He didn’t dare to approach both male and female partners and is almost going crazy from the abstinence. Now that he was also blocked by Bai Lin, he felt even angrier.

    庆威之所以能得到这次派诺岛的开发项目，是他暗中协助。为了保障自己的利益，他还在庆威的工程中安插了不少自己人，如今想要使个坏不过一句话的事。反正即使这个工程烂尾了，损失最大的也不是他。等庆威破产，柏霖必然会主动来求他。

Qingwei was able to win the development project on Pano island this time because he has assisted in the dark. To safeguard his interest, he had placed a significant number of his people in this project. All it takes is a word from him to mess with things. Anyway, even if this project was ruined, the one who suffers the greatest loss isn’t him. Once Qingwei goes bankrupt, Bai Lin will have to come and beg him on his own initiative.

    只要想到那个清高的男人最后不得不在他身下摇尾乞怜，陈子雄就觉得莫名兴奋。

Chen Zixiong felt inexplicably excited thinking about the fact that that pure looking man would have no choice but to come and beg him in the end.

    但随即一想到那个等着和他上床的丑鬼，陈子雄的热情顿时就熄灭了，取而代之是疯狂施虐的变态欲望……

However, the moment he thought of that ugly ghost who was waiting to have sex with him, his enthusiasm immediately disappeared. What replaced it was a perverted desire to abuse.

[1] There’s a word ‘short’ within this phrase which Wen Jingrong used in the next sentence.
