Chapter 176: Ghost Assistant (VIII)

---

TL: Resonance

    保镖帮邵飞渡做好访客登记，一行人便在护士的带领下，来到VIP病房。

The bodyguard helped Shao Feidu make the visitor registration. Then, the group of people arrived at the VIP ward under the nurse’s leading.

    云可煦是云家的小少爷，他的病房不允许一般人靠近，但是以邵飞渡身份，获得探望许可还是很容易的。

Yun Kexu is the young master of the Yun family and ordinary people are not allowed near his ward. However, permission to visit his ward is still easy to gain with Shao Feidu’s identity.

    病房中，此刻只有一名看护，云可煦的家人每周会过来看望一两次。

There was currently only one nurse in the ward. Yun Kexu’s family visits around once or twice a week.

    邵飞渡走到病床边，静静注视着床上这名削瘦的青年，尽管相貌有些差异，但他身上的气息却让他十分熟悉。

Shao Feidu walked to the side of the bed and looked at the thin young man on the bed quietly. Although there are some differences in his appearance, the breath on his body felt very familiar.

    保镖递来一把椅子，邵飞渡缓缓坐下，在心中轻唤“可可”的名字。然而床上的人毫无反应，始终安静的沉睡着。

The bodyguard passed a chair over and Shao Feidu slowly sat down. He whispered “Keke” in his heart. However, the person on the bed had no reaction and continued sleeping quietly.

    邵飞渡握住青年的手，感受他的温度和脉搏。这时，他注意到青年手腕上戴着一个奇怪的镯子，非金非银非玉，样式古朴，上面还刻着陌生而繁复的文字，看起来像一种法器。

Shao Feidu held the young man’s hand and felt his warmth and pulse. At this moment, he noticed the young man’s wrist wearing a strange bracelet. It was not gold nor silver nor jade and looked rather plain. Unfamiliar and complex characters were engraved on it, making it look like a magical weapon.

    “法器”这种东西，还是尚可告诉他的，他曾说过法器、灵符之类的物品会给他带来伤害。

It was Shang Ke who told him about things like “magic weapons”. He had once said that magical weapons and talismans etc would harm him.

    邵飞渡心头一动，难道可可之所以不醒，是因为这个镯子？

A thought came to Shao Feidu’s mind. Perhaps the reason why Keke couldn’t wake up is due to this bracelet?

    他看向对面的护工，轻轻抬了抬云可煦的手臂，问道：“这个？”

He looked towards the nurse opposite of him, then raised Yun Kexu’s arm gently and asked, “This is?”

    护工看了一眼，笑道：“渡少对这个镯子感兴趣？这是云夫人几天前给小少爷买的，说是可以趋吉避凶，保佑身体健康。”

The nurse took a look and said with a smile, “Is young master Du interested in this bracelet? This bracelet was bought by madam Yun for young master Yun a few days ago. It can bring luck and ward off evil, blessing one with a healthy body.”

    邵飞渡得到答案，又重新将目光落在云可煦身上。沉默片刻，他突然将这个手镯从云可煦手腕上取下来。

After getting the answer, Shao Feidu looked back at Yun Kexu. After a moment of silence, he suddenly removed the bracelet from Yun Kexu’s wrist.

    “哎，渡少您这是？”护工为难地看着邵飞渡，觉得他的举动实在有些失礼，但碍于他的身份，又不便指责。

“Hey, what are you doing young master Du?” The nurse looked at Shao Feidu with a troubled look. The nurse felt that Shao Feidu’s action was a bit rude, but wasn’t able to tell him off because of his identity.

    邵飞渡对护工的疑惑置若罔闻，只是专注地望着床上的人。

Shao Feidu didn’t care about the nurse’s hesitation and continued looking at the person on the bed focusedly.

    病房中寂静无声，只有仪器在滴滴作响。邵飞渡保持着一个姿势，半个小时没有动弹。若非看到眼睛在眨，护工几乎要以为眼前的男人变成一尊雕塑了。

It was silent in the ward and only the beeping sound of the instruments could be heard. Shao Feidu maintained that one posture and didn’t move for half an hour. If not for his blinking eyes, the nurse almost thought that the man before her had become a sculpture.

    她心中惊疑不定，不知道这个人与云可煦是什么关系，也不知道他打算干什么，考虑再三，她最终决定通知云家人，让他们派人过来看看。

She felt uncertain in her heart. She didn’t know what this person’s relationship with Yun Kexu was and also didn’t know what he intended to do. After much consideration, she finally decided to inform the Yun family and let them send someone over to check.

    “渡少，时间不早了，我们是不是该回去了？”保镖看了看时间，他们已经在医院待了一个小时了，看邵飞渡的样子，似乎完全没有离开的意思，于是走过来低声提醒。

“Young master Du, it’s getting late. Should we go back now?” The bodyguard looked at the time. They have already stayed in this hospital for one hour. Shao Feidu didn’t seem to have the intention to leave judging by how he looked, so the bodyguard came over and reminded him softly.

    邵飞渡毫无反应，依然目不转睛地盯着床上的人。

Shao Feidu had no reaction and was still staring at the person on the bed intently. 

    保镖不得不硬着头皮再次提醒：“那位护工已经去通知云家人了，您是否打算与云家人共进晚餐？”

The bodyguard had no choice but to bite the bullet and remind again, “That nurse has already gone to notify the Yun family. Do you intend to have dinner with the Yun family?”

    话音刚落，保镖的智能腕表便震动了几下，抬手一看，上面显示四个字：【谢绝打扰。】

When the bodyguard finished speaking, he felt his smart watch vibrating a few times. He lifted his hand and saw three words displayed: 【Do not disturb.】

    保镖：“……”

Bodyguard: “…”

    自从有了万能可可，邵飞渡不用说话也能准确地给保镖下达指令，而且特别高冷，特别任性，特别不可一世……

Ever since Shao Feidu had All-purpose Keke, he was able to give accurate instructions to the bodyguards without having to speak. Moreover, it was extremely cold, capricious and arrogant… 

    保镖不敢再废话，默默退到一边。

The bodyguard no longer dared to speak and silently retreated to the side.

    又过了大约半个小时，病房的门被推开，一名气质雍容的妇人和一名二十四五的女子先后走进来，前者看到邵飞渡，微笑道：“之前护工告诉我时，我还有些不相信，没想到真的是渡少。”

About half an hour later, the door to the ward was pushed open and a graceful married woman and a 24-25 year old woman came in one after another. The former saw Shao Feidu and said with a smile, “I didn’t quite believe it when the nurse told me about it earlier. To think that it truly is young master Du.”

    邵飞渡看了她一眼，有点眼熟，但不认识，转过头，继续盯着床上的人。

Shao Feidu gave her a glance. She looked familiar, but he didn’t know her. He turned back and continued staring at the person on the bed.

    贵妇人没料到对方完全无视她，心中颇有些不悦，问道：“邵先生，你与犬子是朋友吗？以前似乎没听他提起过。”

The noblewoman did not expect him to completely ignore her. She asked while feeling a little displeased, “Mr Shao, are you friends with my son? I don’t seem to have heard him mention it before.”

    邵飞渡已经进入“目中无人”的状态，大脑自动过滤外界一切“杂音”。

Shao Feidu has already entered the “no one else matters” mode and his brain automatically filters out the “unwanted noise” from the surrounding.

    饶是贵妇人修养极好，面对这样的人，也难免想要发火。她身边的女子可没她的涵养，出声斥责道：“渡少，你这是什么态度？我们云家和你们邵家，身份地位不相上下，我母亲也算是你的长辈，你不觉得你应该对我母亲稍微尊重一点吗？”

Although the noblewoman has good self control, she couldn’t help but want to rage when facing such a person. The woman beside her didn’t have her level of restraint and started rebuking, “Young master Du, what’s with your attitude? Our Yun family and your Shao family are comparable in status and my mother can also be considered your elder, don’t you think that you should be more respectful to my mother?”

    渡少自闭起来，哪里在乎什么尊重不尊重？任你威风八面，他自岿然不动。

Why would young master Du’s care about respect or disrespect when he is autistic? He wouldn’t be moved at all no matter how great you are.

    云夫人深呼一口气，淡淡道：“抱歉，邵先生，犬子需要休息，请你离开，下次过来探望前，希望你能先知会我一声。”

Madam Yun took in a deep breath and said flatly, “Sorry Mr Shao, my son needs to rest, please leave. I hope you can inform me first before you visit next time.”

    听到她赶人，邵飞渡低头看了看手上的腕表，很想启动“万能可可”寻找应急攻略。

Hearing that she was chasing him away, Shao Feidu lowered his head and looked at his smart watch. He wishes to activate “All-purpose Keke” and find an emergency guide very much.

    【可可妈妈不欢迎我怎么办？】

 【What should I do when Keke’s mother doesn’t welcome me?】

    【可可妈妈要赶我走怎么办？】

 【What should I do when Keke’s mother wants to chase me away?】

    【应该怎么做才能留在你身边？】

【What should I do so that I can stay by your side?】

    ……

    正在挣扎间，邵飞渡突然感觉云可煦的手指动了一下……

As he was struggling, Shao Feidu suddenly felt Yun Kexu’s finger moved…

    见他坐着不动，云夫人沉下脸色，转头吩咐女儿将保镖叫进来。

Madam Yun’s face darkened when she saw him still seated without moving. She turned and asked her daughter to get the bodyguards here.

    四、五名壮汉鱼贯而入，围在邵飞渡身边，拘谨而又诚恳地说：“渡少，今天时间也不早了，您不如下次再来看望小少爷吧？”

Four to five brawny men came in one after another and surrounded Shao Feidu. They said cautiously and sincerely, “Young master Du, it’s getting late. Why not come visit the young master again next time?”

    尚可的意识逐渐恢复，耳边传来嗡嗡的响声，伴随着浑身的酸痛，一股脑向他涌来。

Shang Ke’s consciousness gradually returned. Buzzing sound, accompanied by his whole body aching, came crashing into him.

    他记得来到医院后，附身云可煦的过程很顺利，只要等鬼魂和身体完全融合，就可以复活了。然而就在关键处，他突然感觉自己被一股力量所束缚，下一瞬间便失去了意识。

He remembered that the process of possessing Yun Kexu’s body was very smooth when he came to the hospital. All he had to do was wait for his spirit to merge completely with the body before he revived. But during the most critical juncture, he suddenly felt himself being bound by a force and he lost his consciousness the next moment.

    尚可并不知道，云可煦的母亲刚好在那时给他戴上了一个刻有符文的手镯，符文的力量，将还没有完全与身体融合的鬼魂封印，致使他陷入沉睡。若非邵飞渡出现，及时取下手镯，否则等三个月时限一过，这次任务就要失败了。

Shang Ke didn’t know that Yun Kexu’s mother just happened to put on a bracelet with runes engraved on his hand at that moment. The power of the runes sealed the spirit that hasn’t completely merged with the body, causing him to fall into a deep sleep. If Shao Feidu didn’t appear and remove the bracelet in time, he would fail this mission after the three month limit has passed. 

    “可可，你醒了。”邵飞渡带着喜悦的声音传入尚可的耳中。

“Keke, you’re awake.” Shao Feidu’s joy-filled voice sounded in Shang Ke’s ears.

    听到他的话，云夫人初时不以为意，直到她转头看向病床，才惊愕地发现，昏迷了两年多的儿子，此时居然睁开了眼睛。

Madam Yun did not take it seriously initially when she heard his words. It was only when she turned her head towards the bed did she find in amazement that her son who has been unconscious for 2 year plus has currently actually opened his eyes.

    “可煦！”她快步走到床边，一脸不敢置信地望着床上的人。

“Kexu!” She walked quickly towards the side of the bed and looked at the person on the bed in astonishment.

    尚可眨了眨眼睛，努力适应房间中的光线。

Shang Ke blinked his eyes and tried his best to adapt to the room’s lighting.

    “醒了，醒了，真的醒了！”云夫人不复刚才的端庄，对保镖激动地喊道，“快，快去叫医生过来！”

“He’s awake, he’s awake, he’s really awake!” Madam Yun no longer looked as dignified as just now. She shouted excitedly at the guard, “Quick, go and call the doctor over!”

    接下来便是一阵兵荒马乱。

What ensued next was chaos.

    一名被医生宣布脑死亡的植物人，竟然奇迹苏醒，这件事让整个医疗小组都震惊了。

A vegetative person announced brain dead by a doctor has miraculously woke up. This matter shocked the entire medical team.

    待一系列检查结束，医生终于确定：“病人恢复意识，而且各项认知功能相对正常，只是记忆和身体机能有些损伤，需要进行一段时间的康复训练。”

After a series of inspections, the doctor finally confirmed, “The patient has regained consciousness and his various cognitive functions are working properly. However, his memory and bodily function is a little damaged and needs a period of rehabilitation. 

    云夫人喜极而泣，只要人醒过来，其他问题都不是问题。

Madam Yun was weeping in joy. Nothing else was a problem as long as the person was awake.

    医生随即提醒众人，不要急于和他交流，先让他自己适应一下。

The doctor then reminded everyone not to rush to communicate with him. They should let him adapt first.

    云夫人点头应是，正准备叫病房里的人全部出去，却见邵飞渡坐在病床边，握着可煦的手，而可煦则靠在床头，温和地望着他，低头说着什么。

Madam Yun nodded her head in understanding. Just when she was about to ask everyone in the ward to go out, she saw Shao Feidu sitting beside the bed holding Kexu’s hand. On the other hand, Kexu was leaning onto the head of the bed looking at him warmly and lowering his head to say something.

    云夫人心中诧异，这时才意识到两人的关系似乎有些不一般。

Madam Yun was surprised in her heart. It was only now that she realised that their relationship didn’t seem normal.

    邵飞渡对谁都是一副爱理不理的样子，但对可煦却十分亲近。而可煦，不知道是不是因为刚刚清醒，意识还有些模糊，否则怎么会露出那么温柔的表情？

Shao Feidu was cold and indifferent to everyone, but was very close to Kexu. As for Kexu, she wasn’t sure if it was because he had just woken up and was still a bit dazed about what was happening. Or else, why would he show such a gentle expression?

    “邵先生，今天先让可煦好好休息吧，有什么话下次再说。”云夫人走过去打断两人的交谈。

“Mr Shao, let Kexu have a good rest first today. If there’s anything else, you can tell him next time.” Madam Yun went over and interrupted their conversation.

    这次邵飞渡没有坚持，只是起身时，很自然地在尚可脸上亲了一口，完全没注意云夫人和她女儿一脸见鬼的表情。

Shao Feidu didn’t insist this time. When he stood up, he kissed Shang Ke’s face very naturally, completely unaware of Madam Yun and her daughter’s expression as if they had seen a ghost.

    将邵飞渡送出病房，云夫人忍不住问：“你和我家可煦到底是什么关系？”

After sending Shao Feidu out of the room, Madam Yun couldn’t help but ask, “Just what is your relationship with our Kexu?”

    什么关系？这个问题把邵飞渡难倒了。他一边想一边往外走，就这样渐行渐远，直到彻底消失在云夫人的视线中……

What relationship? This question stumped Shao Feidu. He thought about it as he walked out. Just like this, he slowly got further and further away until he completely disappeared from Madam Yun’s line of sight… 

    云夫人还是第一次被人晾在当场，忍不住怒道：“以后不许这个人靠近可煦的病房！”

This was the first time Madam Yun got left ignored on site. She couldn’t help but raged, “Don’t allow that person near Kexu’s room in the future!”

    保镖们心中苦闷，谁敢拦邵家大少爷？

The bodyguards felt depressed in their heart. Who dares to hinder the eldest young master of the Shao family?

    邵飞渡此刻完全没意识到，自己的“傲慢无礼”，已经把未来丈母娘给得罪死了……

At this moment, Shao Feidu was completely unaware that his “arrogance and rudeness” has thoroughly offended his future mother-in-law… 

    病房里的人都被清空后，尚可这才安心躺下来休息。

After everyone left the room, Shang Ke finally laid down and rested with a peace of mind.

    刚躺下来，脑中就响起系统的声音：【完成主线任务——三个月内复活。】

As soon as he laid down, the system sounded in his head: 【Completed the main mission: Revive within three months】

    还来不及高兴，系统紧接着又说：【主线任务2——超度至少三只厉鬼，拯救被恶鬼索命的可怜人。】

He has yet to feel happy when the system immediately says: 【Main mission 2: Purge at least three vengeful ghosts and save the poor people being harmed by evil ghosts.】

    慢着！主线任务2是什么鬼？接下来不应该是附加任务吗？

Wait! What the hell is main mission 2? Shouldn’t it be an additional mission next?

    【由于英勇值过低，困难世界升级，触发第二主线任务。宿主必须完成主线任务2，否则将视为任务失败。】

【As your heroic value is too low, it is very difficult to move up from this world. Therefore, a second main mission is triggered. Host must complete main mission 2 or it will be treated as mission failure.】

    尚可此刻已经不知道用什么语言来形容自己操蛋的心情了。

Shang Ke didn’t know what words to use to describe his fucking mood right now.

    他满怀希望地问：“完成了主线任务2，是不是就不用完成附加任务了？”

He asked full of hope, “Do I not have to complete additional missions anymore if I complete main mission 2?”

    【每个世界只有三次任务，主线任务增加一个，附加任务就会减少一个。】

【There’s only three missions per world. If there’s an additional main mission, there would be one lesser additional mission.】

    尚可闻言，心里稍稍好受一点。虽然附加任务变成随时可能造成任务失败的主线任务，但仔细想想，他觉得这是系统的一个bug，以前他为了任务不断作死，为了生存费尽心机，但事实上，只要在任务过程中，有过英勇行为（比如这次救了一名落水的女孩），即使没有到达死亡的最高标准（比如第一个世界的粉身碎骨），也可以完成任务，只是英勇值不高而已。但比起活下来，英勇值不高又怎么样？

Shang Ke felt a little better after hearing this. The additional mission has become a main mission that could cause mission failure at any time, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was a system bug. In the past, he kept seeking death for the sake of his mission and kept scheming painstakingly for the sake of surviving. But in actual fact, as long as he has heroic acts during the completion of the mission (such as saving the drowning woman this time), he can still complete the mission even if he didn’t achieve the highest death standard (like the first world’s shredded body and crushed bones). It’s just that the heroic value wouldn’t be high. So what if the heroic value is low though when compared to being able to live?

    换言之，主线任务每增加一个，代表赴死的难度也会相应降低。那么第二个主线任务，找到三只恶鬼，并将他们超度，不让他们再伤害别人，就算完成任务了。只要成功完成三次任务，自然也就不需要回溯之匙了。

In other words, each additional main mission means that the death seeking difficulty will be comparatively lower. For this second main mission, he just had to find three evil ghosts and purge them, not letting them harm people again for the mission to be complete. If he successfully completed the three missions, he naturally didn’t need the returning card.

    想明白这一点，尚可振作精神，打算在最短的时间恢复身体机能，然后去超度恶鬼。尚可又想到邵飞渡的特殊体质，自带招鬼外挂，简直就是行走阴阳的最佳伙伴。

After realising this, Shang Ke cheered up. He intends to recover his bodily function in the shortest time possible, then go and purge evil ghosts. Shang Ke then remembered Shao Feidu’s special physique. He attracts ghosts on his own and was simply the best partner for finding ghosts.

    可怜的渡渡，以后恐怕要经常见鬼了……

Poor Dudu probably has to see a lot of ghosts in the future…
