尚可与缇落相守了一百二十年，看着扑扑长大成人，嫁给了卡修和缇希的儿子，虽然相差10岁，却非常幸福。
Shang Ke and Tylor had been together for one hundred and twenty years, watching Pupu grow up and marry the son of Kaiser and Ticia. Although they had a difference of ten years, they were very happy.
这次是缇落先离开人世的，尚可等他没有遗憾地闭上眼睛，才带着对他的爱，返回了系统空间。
This time Tylor died first. Shang Ke waited for him to close his eyes without regret before returning to the system space with the love he felt for him.
经过两个世界的美满生活，尚可感觉自己的心都要化了。
After a happy life in both worlds, Shang Ke felt his heart melting.
【宿主，请开始学习技能，准备迎接新的挑战吧。】系统一如既往地煞风景。
【Host, please begin learning skills and prepare for new challenges.】 The System was a killjoy like always.
尚可随手选了两个技能，打算一边愉快地学习，一边想念他的男人。
Shang Ke chose two skills at random and planned to study happily while thinking of his man.
【宿主，下一个世界是困难世界，请不要掉以轻心。】
【Host, the next world is a difficult world. Please don’t take it lightly. 】
“知道了。”尚可摆摆手，一头扎进了百炼空间。
“Okay.” Shang Ke waved his hand and plunged into the Hundred Training Space.
等他从百炼空间出来，新世界的大门再次向他打开。
When he came out of the Hundred Training Space, the door of a new world opened to him once more.
还没睁开眼，便听到一片混乱的嘈杂声，尚可感觉自己正趴伏在冰冷的地板上，空气明明清爽流畅，却总是夹杂着一股难闻的气味。
Before opening his eyes, he heard a chaotic noise. Shang Ke felt that he was lying on the cold floor. The air was clear and smooth, but it seemed to be mixed with an unpleasant smell.
睁开眼，首先看到的是一个圆鼓鼓的……屁股，视线快速移动，尚可才大致明白现在的处境。这是一座富丽堂皇的商场大厅，四周满满都是人，他们或趴或蹲，神色惶恐，目光闪烁。在一楼二楼的窗户、安全通道、出入口等位置，分别站着几全副武装的壮汉。
When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a bulging … ass. He quickly shifted his sight away and only then did Shang Ke understood the situation roughly. This was a splendid shopping mall hall, full of people. They were lying prone on the ground or squatting, eyes flashing with fear. On the first and the second floor of the window, safe passage, entrances and exits, respectively, stood a few heavily armed strong men.
商场外，聚集了数百名严阵以待的警卫士兵，时不时还能听到飞行器的声音。
Outside the shopping mall, hundreds of soldiers gathered and the sound of the aircraft could be heard from time to time.
即使还没收到系统的信息，尚可也能做出直观的判断，这座商场连同商场内的营业员、购物者等等，全都被一群恐怖分子劫持了。
Even if he hadn’t received the System information yet, Shang Ke could make an intuitive judgment. The store, along with the store’s salespeople, shoppers, etc, were all hijacked by a group of terrorists.
这时，系统的信息传输过来。
At the moment, the information from the System was transmitted.
正如尚可猜想的那般，这座位于塔国首都比亚市中心的商城，在三个小时之前，被一伙来历不明的恐怖分子所控制，他们宣称在商场内装了五十枚高爆炸弹，并劫持了包括工作人员在内的6000多名平民。
As Shang Ke expected, a group of terrorists of unknown origin have seized the central mall of the capital of Wayuta, Biyashi three hours ago. They claimed to have loaded fifty high explosive bombs inside and abducted more than six thousand civilians, including the staff.
ZF多次派人交涉，恐怖分子却没有任何回应。双方僵持不下，新闻媒体即时报导，民众情绪一度失控，情况不容乐观。
The government sent representatives to negotiate many times, but the terrorists did not respond. The two sides were at a deadlock and the news media immediately reported that the public mood was out of control and the situation was not optimistic.
外界并不知道这伙恐怖分子全是来自地下、具有宗教性质的反政联盟，他们的目的就是制造恐慌，以各种残酷的方式，对ZF实施报复。
The outside world didn’t know that these terrorists were all from underground and were a religious anti-government union. Their aim was to create panic and retaliate against government in various cruel ways.
他们根本不打算谈条件，只是为了拖延时间，让更多的人看到他们接下来的华丽表演。
They were not going to negotiate at all. They just wanted to delay the time and let more people see their next magnificent performance.
不过，几十分钟后，Z国的精英哨兵将赶赴现场，对恐怖分子进行围剿。哨兵和向导是塔国两种特殊群体，哨兵拥有超强感官和觉醒异能，是塔国最强大的战力，但由于他们的感官太过敏锐，精神时常处于不稳定状态，此时便需要向导来平复他们的情绪，保护他们的感官。
However, a dozen minutes late, elite sentinels from the country would rush into the scene to encircle and suppress the terrorists. Sentinels and guides were two special groups in the country. Sentinels had super senses and awakened abilities and they were the most powerful fighting forces in the country. However, because their senses were too sharp and their spirits were often unstable, guides were needed to calm their emotions and protect their senses.
哨兵和向导通过精神结合或肉体结合绑定在一起，契合度越高，两人结合之后的力量就越大，一旦结合，终生不可背叛。每一个哨兵和向导都会有自己的“精神体”，精神体一般以动物形态出现，动物种类由个人属性决定。在结合前，只有契合度达到95%以上的哨兵和向导才能看到彼此的精神体。
Sentinels and guides were bonded together through a spiritual or physical union. The higher the compatibility of the bond, the greater the strength of the two. Once they were bonded, they were bonded together for life. Each sentinel and guide would have their own “spirit guide”. Spirit guides were generally animals. The type of animal determined their individual attributes. Before their bonding, only sentinels and guides with a 95% compatibility could see each other’s spirit guide.
哨兵和向导数量稀少，一般只负责执行重要任务。他们的地位远在普通平民之上，初觉醒之后，便要登记入册，肩负保家卫国的重任，同时享受国家特级待遇。向导作为哨兵的辅助兼伴侣，地位相对弱势，因为国家不允许他们与平民结合。在必要时，还会根据契合度，强制向导与哨兵结合。
Sentinels and guides were few in number and were generally only responsible for important tasks. Their statuses were far higher than that of ordinary civilians. After their initial awakening, sentinels had to register and shoulder the important task of protecting the country whilst enjoying the special treatment from the state. As an assistant and companion of the sentinel, guides had a relatively weaker position because the country did not allow them to get together with ordinary people. When necessary, the guide might even be forced to bond with a sentinel according to the fit compatibility.
此次劫持事件，国家派来了三十几名精英哨兵。
In this hijacking incident, the state sent over thirty elite sentinels.
哨兵们确实不负众望，在恐怖分子引爆炸弹前，将他们全部制服。然而，他们并不知道这只是悲剧的序曲。就在他们精神松懈，并且准备疏散人群之际，商场突然爆炸了。
The sentinels did live up to expectations and subdued the terrorists before they detonated the bombs. However, they didn’t know that it was just a prelude to a tragedy. Just as they were relaxing and preparing to evacuate the crowd, the mall suddenly exploded.
蘑菇云冲天而起，带着闪电的火焰席卷了方圆数千米的范围，造成了塔国百年内最大的人员伤亡和经济损失。将近两万人在此次灾难中丧生，其中包括四十五名精英哨兵、七名向导以及军官若干。
A mushroom cloud rose high into the sky and flames with lightning swept across a range of thousands of meters, causing the largest casualties and economic losses in the country in a hundred years. Nearly twenty thousand people were killed in the disaster, including forty-five elite sentinels, seven guides and several military officers.
事后调查，众人才知道他们漏掉了一名关键人物，那就是隐藏在人群中、伪装成普通平民的一名高智商、反社会的精神病患者，此人才是这场行动的策划者。
After the investigation, people realized that they had missed a key figure. It was a mentally ill person with high IQ and anti-government agenda disguised as an ordinary civilian. He was the mastermind of the operation.
引爆装置共有两套，一套在恐怖分子的手上，一套就在这名策划者手中。如果恐怖分子全部被哨兵控制，那么引爆的任务就由策划者来执行。
There were two sets of detonators, one in the hand of the terrorists and other with the mastermind. If all the terrorists were captured by the sentinels, the task of detonating would be carried out by the mastermind.
当时所有人都以为危机已经过去，警卫士兵和医务人员解除高级防御，快速向商场靠拢。谁知真正的杀机，就在他们放松警惕的瞬间，露出了它狰狞的面孔。
At that time, everyone thought the crisis was over, and the guards, soldiers and medical personnel disarmed the advanced defense and quickly moved closer to the shopping mall. Who would have known that real danger, at the moment they relaxed their vigilance, would reveal its ferocious face.
【主线任务：躲过反政联盟三次暗杀。】
【Main Mission: Survive Three Assassination Attempts by the Anti-Government Union. 】
【前方高能，祝宿主一路好死。】
【There is high energy ahead, may Host die a nice death.】
雾草！
Fuck you!
尚可在心里比了个中指，他知道系统为什么会发布这个任务，因为那名最后引爆炸弹的“高智商、反社会”的蛇精病，就是他此次穿越的对象。
Shang Ke gave a middle finger in his mind. He knew why the system released this task. It was because the “high IQ, anti-government” mental retard that would detonate the bomb was the body he was currently occupying.
如果他选择不引爆炸弹，那么就是背叛反政联盟；如果他选择引爆，那么自己必死无疑。所以于情于理，他都只能选择背叛，解救这些无辜的平民，也是解救自己。
If he chose not to detonate the bomb, he was betraying the anti-government union. If he chose to detonate, he would surely die. Therefore, he could only choose to betray the union in order to save these innocent civilians and himself.
不愧是困难世界，设定如此扭曲。
As expected of a difficult world, the setting was so twisted.
尚可看了看时间，国家派来的精英哨兵应该赶到了。
Shang Ke looked at the time and figured that the elite sentinels sent by the state should have arrived by now.
无论他有多不情愿，他都是此次事件的策划者，即使不引爆炸弹，他的身份也有可能在接下来的调查中被曝光，所以他不能什么都不做，至少要在哨兵还没有将危机解除前，争取机会，洗刷一下自己的“红名”。
No matter how reluctant he was, he was the mastermind of the incident. Even if he didn’t detonate the bomb, his identity may be exposed in the following investigation. Therefore, he couldn’t do nothing. Before the sentinels solves the crisis, he needs to fight for the chance to wash away his criminal record.
尚可尝试调动自己的精神力，意外发现原主竟然是一名向导，虽然不知道向导中为什么会出现这种奇葩，但这对他而言无疑是一个可以利用的。尚可并不知道，原主其实只是一名普通人，他的向导精神体源自于尚可本身。
Shang Ke tried to mobilize his spirit power and unexpectedly found that the original owner was actually a guide. Although he didn’t know why such a weirdo would appear amongst the guides, it was undoubtedly a useful thing for him. Shang Ke actually didn’t realize that the original owner was just an ordinary person and his spirit guide originated from Shang Ke himself.
尚可抬头看了看正在商场四周警戒的“同伙”，默默在心里给他们画了一个十字架，然后悄悄凝聚自己的精神体。
Shang Ke looked up at his “associates” who were on guard around the mall, drew a cross silently in his heart, and then quietly condensed his spirit guide.
精神体凝聚成形后，尚可有些不敢相信，为什么他的精神体是一只……海豚？半透明的身体，闪烁着淡蓝色的光芒，脸上带着可爱的微笑，欢快地绕着尚可游来游去。
After the spirit guide condensed and formed, Shang Ke couldn’t believe it. Why was his spirit guide a … dolphin? The translucent body flashed a pale blue light with a lovely smile on its face, happily swimming around Shang Ke.
海豚就海豚吧，看起来有点像海浪，就叫它“海浪”好了。
If it’s a dolphin, then so be it. It looked a bit like Waves so Shang Ke decided to call it “Waves”.
精神体海浪在空中翻转跳跃，似乎很满意这个名字。
The spirit guide, Waves, flipped and jumped in the air, seemingly satisfied with its name.
尚可放开精神体，让它向商场外飞去。向导的精神体只有与他的契合度达到95%以上的哨兵才能看到，已经结合的哨兵向导不在此列。
Shang Ke released his spirit guide and let it fly out of the mall. The spirit guide of a guide could only be seen by a sentinel whose compatibility with him was above 95%. Sentinels and guides who were already bonded couldn’t see it.
尚可的目的就是找到能够看到海浪的哨兵，然后将恐怖分子的情报通过精神体传送出去，帮助他们更加迅速地控制局势。
Shang Ke’s aim was to find a sentinel who could see Waves and transmit terrorist information through the spirit guide to help them control the situation faster and more efficiently.
契合度95%的哨兵非常难找，而且双方的精神体都必须足够强大，否则无法准确地交流信息。尚可只能碰碰运气，这是他目前唯一能够想到的洗红名的方法。
It was very difficult to find a sentinel with 95% compatibility and the spirit guides of both sides had to be strong enough, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to exchange information accurately. Shang Ke could only take a chance. This was the only way he could think of to clear his criminal record.
距离商场五百米外的一辆机甲车上，一名神色冷峻的黑衣男子正在查看商场内部的立体成像，在他身边，还坐着几名严正以待的哨兵。
Five hundred meters away from the mall, a cold-faced black-clothed man sat in a mecha car, looking at the three-dimensional image inside a mall. Beside him sat a few solemn sentinels.
这时，他突然抬起头，两道凌厉的视线射向窗外，随即一愣。车窗外，趴着一只奇怪的精神体，看起来向一条鱼（这个世界没有海豚）。
At this moment, he suddenly raised his head, two sharp eyes glaring out of the window and was momentarily stunned. Outside, a strange spirit guide was lying prone. It looked like a fish (There were no dolphins in this world).
亚奥尼斯从来没见过鱼类精神体，因为鱼类普遍比较脆弱，而且智商不高，与人类的精神力并不契合。不过眼前这个精神体，表情灵动，憨厚可爱，似乎与一般鱼类有所不同。
Yonis had never seen a fish spirit guide because fish were generally fragile and had low IQ which didn’t fit with the human spirit. However, in front of him, this spirit guide had a vivid expression, simple, honest and lovely, which made it look different from other ordinary fish.
更重要的是，他居然能够看到。
More importantly, he was able to see it.
亚奥尼斯下意识放出自己的精神体，是一只黄金色的狮子。
Yonis subconsciously released his spirit guide, a golden lion.
海浪看到狮子并不害怕，反而主动钻进车里，凑到狮子面前，友好地和它打了一个招呼。狮子好奇地在它身上嗅了嗅，然后弯起眼睛，露出了一个舒服得不得了的表情。
Waves saw the lion and wasn’t afraid. Instead, he got into the car and swam in front of the lion. He greeted the lion in a friendly manner.
亚奥尼斯也感觉非常舒服，仿佛有一股清泉从心间流过，压抑许久的烦躁瞬间被抚慰。
Yonis also felt very comfortable as if clear spring water was flowing through his heart, and the pent-up irritability was instantly soothed.
亚奥尼斯紧紧地盯着这条小鱼，眼中闪过一抹精芒。
Yonis stared at the little fish intensely with a gleam in his eyes.
【 亚奥尼斯，它的主人正在那座商场中。】 狮子突然向亚奥尼斯传来讯息。
【 Yonis, its owner is in the mall.】 The lion suddenly sent him a message.
【什么情况 ？】亚奥尼斯神色一凛。
【What’s the situation?】 Yonis’ expression grew stern.
【它的主人知道商场中的情况，想通知营救人员。】
【Its owner knows the situation in the mall and wants to inform the rescue team 】
亚奥尼斯迅速对身边的哨兵下令道：“格纳，准备记录。”
Yonis quickly ordered one of the sentinels around him, “Genna, prepare to take notes”
“恐怖分子的人数一共25人，二楼15人，分别在……一楼10人……身上各装备了两支枪械和几个手雷……”
“There are twenty-five terrorists, fifteen on the second floor, and ten on the first floor … each equipped with two guns and several grenades …”
若是能够知道引爆装置在谁手上就好了。亚奥尼斯刚这么想着，狮子便传来讯息：【引爆装置在一楼东南方位那名恐怖分子手中，他手臂上有一个弓箭纹身……】
It would be nice to know who had the detonators. As soon as Yonis thought so, the lion sent a message, “The detonating device is in the hands of a terrorist on the southeast side of the first floor. He has a tattoo of a bow and arrow on his arm …”
亚奥尼斯眼神微闪，将这个情报告诉身边的哨兵，但他并不能完全确定它的准确性。
Yonis’s eyes flashed slightly and told the sentinel the information but he was not completely sure of its accuracy.
一名哨兵也开口问道：“大人，这个消息可靠吗？”
A sentinel asked, “Sir, is this information reliable?”
亚奥尼斯朝海浪望去，海浪立刻翘起尾巴，摆动腹鳍，表示绝对可靠！
Yonis looked at Waves, and the dolphin immediately cocked his tail and swung his pelvic fins, indicating absolute reliability!
“是否可靠，查证一下就知道了！”亚奥尼斯道，“时间紧迫，准备行动吧。”
“We can just check it ourselves to see how reliable it is!” Yonis replied, “Time is short. Prepare for action.”
哨兵拥有超人的感官，在一定距离范围内，可以穿透障碍物，感应另一边的情况。亚奥尼斯根据尚可提供的情报，用精神力锁定了那名携带引爆装置的恐怖分子。
Sentinels had superhuman senses. They could penetrate obstacles and sense the situation from the other side within a certain distance. According to the information Shang Ke provided, Yonis zoned out to lock down the terrorist carrying the detonator.
TL Note: Zone out is a sentinel trope term, meaning they hyperfocus on one sense.
片刻后，他睁开眼睛：“没错，引爆装置就在他身上。”
Moments later, he opened his eyes, “Yes, the detonator is on him.”
同时，他也非常疑惑，引爆装置放在恐怖分子的衣服中，那名向导是怎么发现的？向导可没有哨兵的超强感官。
At the same time, he was also very puzzled. How did the guide find the detonator from the terrorist’s’ clothes? Guides didn’t possess superior senses like sentinels.
没关系，等这次危机解除，他就能见到这名与他契合度达到了95%以上、拥有强大精神力和奇怪精神体的向导了……
But it didn’t matter right now. When the crisis was over, he would see this guide who had reached over 95% compatibility with him whilst possessing a strong spirit and strange spirit guide …
