Chapter 239: Re: Sentinel & Guide


 TL: Resonance

    亚奥尼斯站在抢救室外,极力压抑濒临暴动的精神力,煎熬地等待着。医院的走廊,寂静无声,压抑的气氛让其他人连大气都不敢喘一下。

Yonis stood outside the emergency room, desperately trying to suppress his spiritual power which was on the verge of surging as he was tormented by the waiting. The corridor of the hospital was very quiet, the oppressive atmosphere made others do not even dare to take large breaths.

    时间一分一秒地过去,仿佛永远没有尽头。亚奥尼斯既希望时间快点过去,又害怕听到无法承受的噩耗。不知过了多久,抢救室的大门被打开。然而,迎来的却是医生一脸遗憾的表情。

Time passed by minute by minute, as if there was no end to it. Yonis hoped that the time would pass quickly, but was also fearful of hearing the unbearable news. After an unknown period of time, the door of the emergency room was opened. However, what he saw was the regretful look on the doctor’s face.

    “抱歉,我们已经尽力了。”

“I’m sorry, we did everything we could.”

    尽力?什么叫尽力?如果真的尽力了,他的可可不是应该被救活吗?

Everything you could? What do you mean by “everything you could”? If you had really tried your best, shouldn’t my Keke have been saved?

    医生还想说些什么,亚奥尼斯却已经推开他,冲进抢救室,看到静静躺在手术床上的人,他整个人如同被冻结一般,僵硬地伫立在原地,周围的一切仿佛都失去了色彩。

The doctor still wanted to say something, but Yonis had already pushed him away and rushed into the emergency room. Seeing the person lying quietly on the operating bed, his whole body seemed as if it was frozen. He stood rigidly in place, and everything around him seemed to lose its color.

    前一刻,他还笑着对他说:“他是我认定的唯一伴侣。”

One moment ago, he was still smiling and saying to him, “He is the only spouse I choose.”

    下一刻,他却躺在冰冷的手术台上,变成了一具毫无温度的尸体。

The next moment, he was lying on the cold operating table, becoming a cold corpse.

    第一次见到他的精神体时,他便将这个人装进了心里。不仅是因为精神的契合,更多的是来自灵魂的触动。没有甜言蜜语,没有海誓山盟,他们自然而然地靠近彼此。亚奥尼斯此时才发现,自己从来没有对他说过:“我爱你”。

The first time he saw his spiritual guide, he took this man into his heart. Not only because of the spiritual compatibility, but more from the touch of the soul. There were no sweet words and no vows of love, but they naturally drew near to each other. It was then that Yonis realized that he had never told him: “I love you”.

    尚可的温柔和体贴,让他以为自己是这世上唯一有资格拥有他、保护他的人。然而,他却让这个人在自己眼前遇害。

Shang Ke’s gentleness and thoughtfulness made him think he was the only person in the world who deserved to have him and protect him. However, he had let this person get killed before his eyes.

    “好黑,有没有人救救我……”

“It’s so dark, is there anyone to save me…”

    “别怕,我来救你了,以后由我来保护你,再也不会让你受到任何伤害。”

“Don’t be afraid, I’ve come to save you, I’ll protect you from now on and never let you get hurt in any way again.”

    对不起,他食言了……

Sorry, he broke his promise… 

    亚奥尼斯眼中一片赤红,体内一直强压的精神力,瞬间失去控制,狂暴地席卷四周。

Yonis eyes were red, and the spiritual power that had been strongly suppressed in his body instantly lost control and furiously swept around.

    “亚奥尼斯,不要!”几个焦急的声音相继响起,企图阻止他。

“Yonis, don’t!” Several anxious voices rang out one after another in an attempt to stop him.

    A级黑暗哨兵的精神力一旦发生暴动,其破坏力是非常可怕的。而且这里聚集了大量哨兵和向导,稍有不慎,便会引起精神连锁反应,形成巨大的精神风暴。到时候别说普通人,就算是高级哨兵恐怕也难以幸免。

The destructive power of an A-rank Dark Sentinel’s spiritual power was terrifying once it went into a rebellion. Moreover, a large number of sentinels and guides had gathered here, and the slightest carelessness would cause a spiritual chain reaction, forming a huge spiritual storm. At that time, not to mention ordinary people, even high rank sentinels would find it hard to escape.

    亚奥尼斯用仅存的一丝理智,竭力控制,但只要一想到从此之后再也见不到他,心中的悲痛和绝望便像潮水一般,一波波将他淹没。

Yonis tried his best to control it with his remaining shred of sanity, but as soon as he thought that he would never see him again, the grief and despair in his heart was like a tidal wave that overwhelmed him in waves.

    整座医院都被狂暴的精神力所笼罩,所有哨兵纷纷开启防御,艰难地抵挡这股汹涌的精神巨浪。

The entire hospital was enveloped by the raging spiritual power, and all the sentinels turned on their defenses, struggling to resist this raging spiritual wave.

    “亚奥尼斯!”院长等人不断尝试与亚奥尼斯建立沟通,结果都失败了。

“Yonis!” The dean and the others kept trying to establish communication with Yonis, but they all failed.

    拥有强大自控能力的黑暗哨兵一旦失控,没有任何向导能够对他进行精神疏导。唯一能够安抚他的人,已经在几分钟前去世了。

Once the Dark Sentinel with strong self-control lost control, no guide was able to mentally guide him. The only person who was able to calm him had passed away a few minutes ago.

    “亚奥尼斯……”

“Yonis…”

    “亚奥尼斯……你想……”

“Yonis… do you want to…”

    “你想害死自己的孩子吗……”

“Do you want to get your own child killed…”

    孩子?这两个字让亚奥尼斯混沌的神智出现了片刻清明。

Child? That word brought a moment of clarity to Yonis’s chaotic sanity.

    “尚可怀孕了,怀了你的孩子!”

“Shang Ke is pregnant with your child!”

    亚奥尼斯大脑“嗡”的一声,几乎以为自己听错了。

Yonis’s brain “buzzed”, he almost thought he heard wrong.

    这时,院长冲过来,紧紧抓住他的手臂,厉声道:“清醒点!医生刚才在尚可体内检测出了生命反应。当务之急,是确保孩子的安全,尽快将他从母体中取出来。”

At this moment, the dean rushed over and grabbed his arm tightly, saying sternly: “Sober up! The doctor just detected a vital reaction in Shang Ke’s body. It is imperative to ensure the safety of the child and remove him from the mother’s body as soon as possible.”

    男性向导怀孕的几率非常低,存活率也不高。稍有不慎,便会胎死腹中。如今母体已经死亡,多浪费一秒,就多一分危险。

The chances of a male guide getting pregnant are very low, and the survival rate is not high. The slightest misstep can result in fetal death. Now that the mother’s body is dead, one more second wasted is one more point of danger.

    孩子?他的孩子?亚奥尼斯暴动的精神力,逐渐平复下来,但身体依然一动不动,只是呆呆地望着手术台上的尚可。

A child? His child? Yonis’s rebelling spiritual energy gradually calmed down, but his body still remained motionless as he stared blankly at Shang Ke on the operating table.

    见亚奥尼斯冷静下来,院长立刻安排医生移植胎种。

Seeing that Yonis had calmed down, the dean immediately arranged for the doctor to transplant the fetal seed.

    事实上,医生对这次移植的结果并不客观,男性向导的身体很难孕育生命,一旦怀孕,胎种至少要在母体中孕育三个月,但在母体死亡的情况下,他们只能提前移植,其中的危险性不言而喻。

In fact, the doctor doesn’t feel hopeful about the result of this transplant, it is difficult for a male guide’s body to nurture life. Once pregnant, the fetal seed must be nurtured for at least three months in the mother’s body. But in the case of the mother’s death, they can only transplant early, the danger of which is self evident.

    身边人来人往,亚奥尼斯似乎毫无所觉,眼中只有那个人的身影。

Yonis seemed oblivious as people came and went around him, with only the figure of that man in his eyes.

    一个小时过去,胎种被成功提取出来,并转移到人工母巢中,众人无不欢欣鼓舞。

An hour passed and the fetus was successfully extracted and transferred to the artificial mother womb, causing everyone to rejoice.

    看着玻璃罩中那颗隐隐闪烁的莹白种子,亚奥尼斯空洞的瞳孔中,终于出现了点点波澜。

Looking at the faintly shimmering glittering white seed behind the glass cover, a little ripple finally appeared in Yonis’ hollow pupils.

    “简直是奇迹!”医生激动地说,“第一次见到生命力如此旺盛的胎种。”

“It’s a miracle!” The doctor said excitedly, “This is the first time I saw a fetal seed with such a vigorous vitality.”

    “这是母体的功劳,他在那种伤势下,坚持了将近7个小时,为我们保护胎种争取了宝贵的时间。”

“It’s the mother’s effort. He lasted for nearly seven hours with that kind of injury, buying us precious time to protect the fetal seed.”

    “确实如此,伤患的求胜欲望极强,几次停止心跳都挺过来了,可惜……”

“Indeed, the wounded patient’s desire to live was so strong. He pulled through several times despite his heartbeat stopping a few times, but unfortunately…”

    后面的声音,亚奥尼斯已经听不见了,只觉得眼前一片模糊。

Yonis can no longer hear the voice behind him. He only felt everything before his eyes were a blur.

    肩膀被人拍了一下,随即听到院长的声音:“这是你的向导拼尽全力为你留下的孩子,不要辜负他的期望。”

Someone tapped on his shoulder, then he heard the dean’s voice: “This is the child your guide tried his best to leave behind for you, don’t fail his expectations.”

    一句“不要辜负”,让亚奥尼斯冷静下来。

The words “don’t fail” calmed Yonis down.

    他想,他可以做好一个父亲。

He thought that he could be a good father.

    因为孩子,是他唯一的寄托。

Because the child was the only thing he was entrusted with.

    五个月后,孩子逐渐成形,医生告诉他,这是一个健康的哨兵宝宝,和他一样,也是黑暗哨兵。

Five months later, the baby gradually took shape. The doctor told him it was a healthy Sentinel baby, a Dark Sentinel just like him.

    亚奥尼斯有些失望,他更希望这个孩子是一个继承他母父优秀基因的向导。

Yonis was a little disappointed. He would have preferred the child to be a guide who inherited his mother’s excellent genes.

    七个月后,孩子出现第一次精神波动,强大的威压,让医院中所有婴儿都发出了恐惧的啼哭。少数哨兵也受到影响,精神力被动反击,纷纷涌向这个还在孕育中的幼小生命。

Seven months later, the child had his first spiritual fluctuation. The powerful pressure caused all the babies in the hospital to cry out in fear. A handful of sentinels were also affected, and their spiritual energy passively counter attacked, flooding towards the young life who was still under gestation.

    人工母巢发出刺耳的警报声,院方出动大批人马,试图为孩子抵挡精神攻击。然而,还没等他们行动,孩子的精神力又出现异变,他竟然诱使附近所有向导的精神力向他汇聚,在他周围形成一个巨大的精神护壁,为他驱逐哨兵的精神攻击,帮他进行精神辅助。

The artificial mother womb sounded a piercing alarm, and the hospital sent out a large number of people to try to defend the child against the spiritual attack. However, before they could act, the child’s spiritual power changed again, and he actually induced the spiritual power of all the nearby guides to converge on him, forming a huge spiritual shield around him, expelling the sentinels’ spiritual attacks for him and helping him with spiritual assistance.

    这还是塔国有史以来从未出现过的奇异现象。哨兵的精神力被动反击很正常,这是一种自我保护能力。但向导的精神辅助,从来都是主观操控,绝对不会被其他力量所牵引(伴侣除外)。如今一个还未出生的孩子,竟然有能力让所有向导为他护航。换言之,只要他愿意,随时可以支取任何一名向导的精神力,将来也可以选择任何一名向导作为自己的伴侣。作为一名与向导契合度极低的黑暗哨兵,这种能力简直匪夷所思。

This is still a strange phenomenon that has never occurred in the history of the country. It is normal for a sentinel’s spiritual power to counterattack when attacked as it is a self-protection ability. But a guide’s spiritual assistance is always controlled by the guides themselves and would definitely not be drawn in by other forces (except for their partners). Now an unborn child has the ability to have all the guides assist him. In other words, he can draw the spiritual power of any of the guides whenever he wants, and he can choose any of them as his partner in the future. As a Dark Sentinel with a very low compatibility with the Guides, this ability is simply unbelievable.

    有人推测孩子的基因可能受到母父基因的影响,出现了某种变异,导致他能够以黑暗哨兵的体质,兼容所有向导的精神力。这种变异,对哨兵向导的力量进化,无疑具有极其重要的意义。

It has been speculated that the child’s genes may have been influenced by his mother’s genes and some sort of mutation has occurred, causing him to be compatible with the spiritual power of all Guides despite being a dark sentinel. This mutation, for the evolution of the Sentinel and Guides’ power, is undoubtedly of extreme importance.

    十个月后,孩子在万众瞩目下,顺利脱离人工母巢,呼吸到人间第一口空气,用高亢而有力的哭声,宣告他的降生。

Ten months later, the child was successfully separated from the artificial mother’s womb under the attention of all, breathed his first breath of air on earth, and announced his birth with a high-pitched and powerful cry.

    亚奥尼斯将孩子抱在手中,感受着他强劲的生命力,心中生出一种奇妙的感觉,有喜悦,有悲伤,有心痛,也有思念……

Yonis held the child in his hands and felt his strong vitality. A wonderful feeling of joy, sadness, heartache, and longing arose in his heart… 

    可可,我们的孩子出生了,你看到了吗?

Keke, our child was born, did you see it?

    为了更好地养育孩子,向导公会帮亚奥尼斯挑选一名优秀的A级向导,一方面照顾孩子的生活,一方面作为孩子的精神导师。

In order to better raise the child, the Guide Labour Union helped Yonis select an excellent A-class guide to take care of the child’s daily life, and also act as the child’s spiritual mentor.

    但亚奥尼斯不希望有外人介入他与尚可的空间,于是毫不犹豫地拒绝了公会的帮助。

But Yonis did not want outsiders to butt into his space with Shang Ke, so did not hesitate to refuse the union’s help.

    公会原本也没打算强求,一切以孩子监护人的意愿为主,只是没想到事情的发展出人意料。就在亚奥尼斯将孩子接回去不久,便发生了一场奇怪的精神暴动。孩子的精神力竟然引起了亚奥尼斯的精神反击,差点造成一场悲剧。

The union originally had no intent to force either. Everything would go by the wishes of the child’s guardian. However, they did not expect things to develop unexpectedly. Soon after Yonis brough the child back, a strange spiritual rebellion occurred. The child’s spiritual power had actually caused Yonis’s spiritual power to counterattack, almost causing a tragedy.

    亚奥尼斯失去尚可后,精神力变得极不稳定,虽然平时控制得很好,但若是受到外界的刺激,便会立刻活跃起来。此次精神暴动,若非他极力压制,孩子恐怕就危险了。

After Yonis lost Shang Ke, his spiritual power became extremely unstable. Although it was usually well controlled, if it gets stimulated by the outside world, it would immediately become active. This time, if not for his extreme efforts to suppress his spiritual powers, the child is likely to be in danger due to the spiritual rebellion.

    鉴于这种情况,公会不得不暂时取消亚奥尼斯的监护权,强制将他和孩子分开,只允许他在向导的陪同下看望孩子。

In view of this situation, the union had no choice but to temporarily cancel Yonis’ guardianship rights, forcing him to separate from the child, allowing him to visit the child only in the company of a guide.

    亚奥尼斯努力尝试与孩子正常相处,结果都以失败告终,最后不得不接受这个残酷的现实。孩子是他唯一的寄托,如今竟然连他也失去了。

Yonis tried his best to get along with the child, but all ended in failure, and finally had to accept this harsh reality. The child was the only thing left for him, and now he had lost even this.

    站在空空荡荡的别墅中,亚奥尼斯突然感觉自己无家可归。

Standing in the empty villa, Yonis suddenly felt like he had no home to return to.

    为了忘记这些伤痛,他开始专注于工作,与反政联盟以及各方恐怖势力作斗争。原本三天一次看望孩子的时间,逐渐变成五天、十天、一个月……最长一次,长达七个月。

In order to forget the pain, he began to focus on his work, fighting against the anti-government alliance and all the terrorist forces. From originally visiting the child once every three days, gradually became five, ten, and then every once a month… The longest interval he hadn’t visited was for seven months.

    孩子在向导公会中慢慢长大,与父亲聚少离多,感情疏离。偶然见面,也说不上几句话,基本都在沉默中度过。

The child grew up slowly in the Guide Labour Union. As he was separated from his father and rarely met him, he became emotionally distant from his father. When they met, they also didn’t talk much, basically spending the time in silence.

    外人口中的亚奥尼斯是一位伟大的英雄,但在孩子心中,他却是一个冷酷无情、完全不称职的父亲。

Outsiders say that Yonis is a great hero, but in the child’s heart, he is a cold, heartless and completely incompetent father.

    他的生日,他从未参加过;他的学习,他从未过问过;他的生活,他从未关心过……孩子渴望父亲的关注,然而父亲心中,永远只有他的职责和任务。

His birthday, he never attended; his studies, he never asked; his life, he never cared… The child longed for his father’s attention, but in his father’s heart, it was always thinking only about his duties and tasks.

    孩子对父亲的怨念,一直持续到他十八岁那年。亚奥尼斯答应他回来庆祝生日,他表面拒绝,心里却是期待的。

The child’s resentment toward his father lasted until he turned eighteen. Yonis promised him that he would come back to celebrate his birthday. The child refused outwardly, but in his heart he was looking forward to it.

    然而,他最终还是失约了。

However, he ultimately didn’t make it.

    孩子等来的,是一个冰冷的骨灰盒。

What the child got was a cold urn.

    亚奥尼斯在任务中牺牲了,尸骨无存。

Yonis was killed in the mission, his body was gone.

    孩子问:“他有留下什么话吗?”

The child asked, “Did he leave any message?”

    护送骨灰盒的人回答:“没有,大人没来得及留下一句话。”

The man who delivered the urn replied, “No, Sir did not have time to leave a message.”

    是没来得及,还是根本无话可留?

Did he not have time to leave a message, or did he have no message to leave at all?

    孩子沉默地接受了这个现实,平静地帮父亲主持了葬礼,将他和母父合葬在一起。

The child accepted this reality in silence and calmly helped his father conduct the funeral, burying him together with his mother.

    几天后,他回老宅收拾遗物,发现了一个被锁的房间。

A few days later, he went back to the old house to pack his belongings and found a locked room.

    找到钥匙打开房门,首先看到的是摆满一桌的模型和玩具。如果他没有看错,这些都是他小时候玩过的东西。除此之外,抽屉中还放着几本厚厚的相册,从小到大,详细地记录了他的成长。最后一本,是父亲和母父的合影相册,站在母父身边的父亲,与他印象中的那个男人截然不同。照片中的他,仿佛才是真正的他,眼中充满了对爱人的宠溺以及对生活的热情。

Finding the key to open the room, the first thing he saw was a table full of models and toys. If he was not mistaken, these were all the things he had played with as a child. In addition to that, there were several thick photo albums in the drawer, detailing his growth from childhood to adulthood. The last one was a photo album of his father and his mother. His father which was standing beside mother, was very different from the man he remembered. It was as if the him in the photo was the real him, with his eyes full of doting for his lover and his enthusiasm for life.

    当孩子翻到相册的末页,看到上面的字迹时,他压抑了几天的悲伤,终于随着眼泪,夺眶而出。

When the child turned to the last page of the photo album and saw the handwriting on it, the sadness he had suppressed for days finally came out with tears in his eyes.

    送给我们挚爱的孩子,祝他一生平安,幸福美满。

For our beloved child, who we wish for a lifetime of peace and happiness.
