啪！ The bedhead desk lamp shone suddenly, the warm leaning yellow light glow to had been used to human of dim environment, is quite dazzling. 床头台灯突然亮了起来,原本温暖的偏黄光芒对已习惯了昏暗环境的人类来说,颇为刺眼。 Tries that person who gives Focas to inject the toxicant unable to bear close the eye, is in a terrified way straight the body, in the future will draw back. 试图给福卡斯注射毒药的那个人忍不住闭上了眼睛,惶恐地直起身体,往后退开。 After adapting to the light, he opens the eyes, seeing Focas to sit, the yellow eye pupil ice-cold looks at itself, the whole person was powerful, is exceptionally dignified. 适应灯光之后,他重新睁开双眼,看见福卡斯已坐了起来,黄色的眼眸冰冷地看着自己,整个人气势十足,异常威严。 Submerged that person in room to turn very quiet subconsciously, came across similar gaze when with so many years in each time was the same. 潜入房间的那个人下意识屏住了呼吸,和这么多年里每次遇到类似的注视时一样。 His is gray-haired, the wrinkle is obvious, unexpectedly is steward Lehne who Focas most trusts. 他头发花白,皱纹明显,竟是福卡斯最信任的管家莱纳。 „Why?” Focas sinking sound asked. “为什么？”福卡斯沉声问道。 He has not met startled of attack. 他一点也没有遇到袭击的惊慌。 Lehne overcame the fear of innermost feelings, the corners of the mouth turned upwards, shows a strange smile: 莱纳克服了内心的恐惧,嘴角翘起,露出一个诡异的笑容: „Because I am ‚herd’ Bouillon.” “因为我是‘牧者’布永。” „You?” Focas laughed at one, what without said that asked unhurriedly, „why you must choose such a at all are not the opportunity opportunity attack me, did you also lose the intelligence quotient?” “你？”福卡斯嗤笑了一声,却没有多说什么,不慌不忙地问道,“你为什么要选择这么一个根本不是机会的机会来袭击我,难道你也失去了智商？” Lehne smiled: 莱纳笑了起来: „ You proposed that such a issue, showed I have not speculated wrong. “你提出这么一个问题,就说明我没有推测错。 „ To cope with your such a senior ‚mind corridor’ level awakening and can direct the general of entire city garrison, could not solve the problem crudely, must observe the detail patiently, collected the information carefully, discovered your weakness, then waited for like tonight the city defense force guards various places laxly actually here opportunity. “想对付你这么一位资深的‘心灵走廊’层次觉醒者和能指挥整个城防部队的将军,鲁莽是解决不了问题的,必须耐心地观察细节,仔细地搜集情报,找出你的弱点,然后等待像今晚这样城防军严守各处却松懈了这里的机会。 „ Fortunately, you can some time deceive everyone, can deceive few people forever, but is impossible to deceive everyone forever. These words were not I said that was a famous saying of Old World, used is just appropriate on you. “还好,你可以在一段时间内骗过所有人,也可以永远欺骗一部分人,但不可能永远欺骗所有人。这句话不是我说的,是旧世界的一句名言,用在你身上刚好合适。 „I sneak your mansion, spent such long time, to not find the opportunity affects you, but is reads around you little memory of person, seeks for the traces.”( Note 1: Lincoln's famous saying) “我潜入你的府邸,花了这么长的时间,不是为了找机会影响你,而是一点点翻看你周围人的记忆,从中寻找蛛丝马迹。”(注一:林肯的名言) Focas does not get angry instead smiles: 福卡斯不怒反笑: „What did you discover?” “你发现了什么？” Lehne shrugs the arm: 莱纳耸了耸肩膀: „ Discovered that you have the custom that more than one year have not changed, no matter directs the army outside, faces directly the turmoil in the initial city, you must sleep before 10 : 00 pm, will not exceed this time absolutely. “发现你有一个多年未变的习惯,不管是在外面指挥军队,还是在最初城直面动乱,你都必须在晚上 10 点前睡觉,绝对不会超过这个时间。 „ Moreover, you sleep, anybody cannot disturb, once, has the urgent military situation to report to you through the form of telephone, finally you have not met. “而且,你睡觉的时候,任何人都不能打扰,有一次,有紧急军情通过电话的形式向你汇报,结果你没有接。 „ That is 11 : 00 pm's matter, you return the call until 2 : 00 am. “那是晚上11点的事情,你直到凌晨 2 点才回电话。 „ Moreover, I have traced many ‚before dawn’ domain awakening, finds the opportunity to read their memory, summarized some common prices, had ‚some time to meet deep stupor’. “另外,我追踪过许多‘拂晓’领域的觉醒者,找机会翻看过他们的记忆,总结出了一些常见的代价,其中就有‘某一段时间会深度昏迷’。 „Synthesizes these information, I analyzed that you in 10 : 30 pm to 1 : 30 am, meets the deep stupor.” “综合这些信息,我判断你在晚上 10 点半到凌晨 1 点半之间,会深度昏迷。” As soldier who risks one's life repeatedly, Focas's ability characteristics are not always the big secret, the person with high aspirations is very easy to investigate. 作为一名多次出生入死的军人,福卡斯的能力特点向来不是什么大的秘密,有心人很容易就能调查出来。 According to „herd” Bouillon knows, most explicit two respectively are: 据“牧者”布永所知,最明确的两个分别是: „Manufacture stupor” and „awakens physical body potential”. “制造昏迷”和“唤醒肉体潜能”。 As for third, is the quite covert type, without many people knows. 至于第三个,属于比较隐蔽的类型,没多少人知道。 But with for „mind corridor” senior awakening of level, „herd” Bouillon is very clear, Focas that two abilities after entering „mind corridor”, the corresponding boundary has inevitably is developed, cannot regard with the old way of looking at things absolutely. 而同为“心灵走廊”层次的资深觉醒者,“牧者”布永很清楚,福卡斯那两种能力在进入“心灵走廊”后,相应的边界必然有得到拓展,绝对不能拿老眼光看待。 After promotion „mind corridor”, the number of times that Focas acts dramatically reduced, but overwhelming majority times show are also „manufacture stupor” and „awaken physical body potential” these two types. 晋升“心灵走廊”后,福卡斯出手的次数就显著降低了,而绝大部分时候展现出来的也是“制造昏迷”和“唤醒肉体潜能”这两种。 Focas has not spoken, coldly as before looks at front steward Lehne. 福卡斯没有说话,依旧冷冷地看着面前的管家莱纳。 Lehne said with a smile: 莱纳笑道: „ You inquired a moment ago makes me determine, your price is ‚some time deep stupor’, but I presented certain miscarriage of justice in the specific time point. “你刚才的询问让我确定,你的代价就是‘某个时间段深度昏迷’,只是我在具体时间点上出现了一定的误判。 „ I said so many with you, is waiting for your true stupor the time to approach. “我之所以和你说这么多,就是在等待你真正昏迷的时间来临。 „ I am very strange, you are unexpectedly unhurried, is willing to talk with me, wants to display forcefully calmly, frightens me, to interrupt follow-up attack? “我很奇怪,你竟然一点也不慌,愿意和我对话,是想强行表现出镇定,吓唬住我,以中断后续的袭击？ „ Relax, every other quarter of an hour, in your mansion will have a group of people to come here, tries to kill you, except for your two children, I wants to would some people running upon your stupor the time. “放心,每隔一刻钟,你的府邸内就会有一批人来到这里,试图杀死你,除了你的两个孩子,我想总会有人撞上你昏迷的时间。 „Does not need to struggle, even if you let the everyone stupor in this house now, the peripheral region will still have the killer to come one after another, your only means now immediately the call, requested that the pretor or Upper House provide the help, but when the time comes, protects in your person, possibly also has my puppet to exist.” “不用挣扎,你即使现在就让这栋房屋内的所有人都昏迷过去,周围区域也会陆续有杀手过来,你唯一的办法就是现在立刻拨打电话,请求执政官或者元老院提供帮助,而到时候,来保护你的人里面,可能也有我的傀儡存在。” Foca Sian listens quietly, sighed: 福卡斯安静听完,叹了口气: „ You really have the patience very much, teaches ’ most people different from ‚ counter- wisdom. “你真的很有耐心,和‘反智教’大部分人不一样。 „ I truly played some patterns in the time point, that have the urgent military situation not to answer the telephone several times, is actually I intentionally, before fixing 10 : 00 pm must sleep to be the same, constituted misleading to your in secret viewer together. “我确实在时间点上玩了一些花样,那几次有紧急军情没接电话,其实是我故意的,就和固定每晚十点前必须睡觉一样,共同构成了对你这种暗中观察者的误导。 „As a general, definitely understood that keeps the remainder. In Old World the age, has the concept of reserve forces sooner, how can present I not make the corresponding arrangement?” “作为一名将军,肯定懂得留余量。在旧世界早些年代,就已经有预备队的概念了,现在的我又怎么会不做相应的安排？” At this point, Focas smiled: 说到这里,福卡斯笑了起来: „ 10 : 00 pm to 2 : 00 am, is not my stupor time. “晚上 10 点到凌晨 2 点,都不是我的昏迷时间。 „Also, you have not possibly listened to a few words, this was that emperor had said: Awakening must like protecting own eye protects itself to pay the secret of what price.” “还有,你可能没听过一句话,这是那位皇帝曾经说过的:觉醒者要像保护自己的眼睛一样保护自己付出了什么代价的秘密。” The smile on Focas face is even more obvious: 福卡斯脸上的笑容愈发明显: „ Actually, my price at all was not ‚some time deep stupor’, I from having certain strength started, is constructing a false appearance diligently, that false appearance was ‚my price is some time deep stupor’, covered the price that I paid truly by this. “其实,我的代价根本不是‘某段时间深度昏迷’,我从有一定实力开始,就在努力地构建一个假象,那个假象就是‘我的代价是某段时间深度昏迷’,以此掩盖我真正付出的代价。 „ Dust person had a proverb to say well, resorted to arms the combat unable to remove changes, the strategy of fraud craftily. In the fight between awakening, this is also suitable. “灰土人有一句俗语说得好,用兵作战不能排除诡变、欺诈的策略。在觉醒者之间的战斗里,这同样适用。 „Otherwise, you think that I will talk with you calmly and steadily?” “要不然,你以为我会这么安稳地和你对话？” The expression on Lehne face gradually solidifies. 莱纳脸上的表情逐渐凝固。 Focas turns over/stands up to get out of bed slowly, resembles said at will: 福卡斯慢慢翻身下床,状似随意地说道: „You discovered the situation that you lose sleep these days was getting more and more serious?” “你有没有发现你这段时间失眠的情况越来越严重了？” Lehne had not replied, but the brow had wrinkled. 莱纳没有回答,但眉头已皱了起来。 „, Treats illness that team to leave here from Xue in October/ten months, actually after by false ‚father’ track, I herd ’ Bouillon have ambushed in guess ‚ in the , plans anything to aim at my plot.” Focas touched remainder not many top of the heads, said with a smile, „starting from that time, I in without distinction in view of this block everyone, except for my two children.” “从薛十月、张去病那个团队离开这里,却被假‘神父’跟踪后,我就在猜测‘牧者’布永是不是已经潜伏在附近,策划什么针对我的阴谋。”福卡斯摸了摸余量不多的头顶,笑着说道,“从那时候开始,我就在无差别地针对这个街区的所有人,除了我的两个孩子。” Lehne silent a say/way: 莱纳沉默了一阵道: „Is your third ability to let the person loses sleep in varying degrees?” “你的第三种能力是让人在不同程度上失眠？” „Right.” Focas said with a smile, „ except for letting you lost sleep more and more, I also awakened your physical body potential, letting you during losing sleep, stayed the good condition, did not affect the daily life, therefore, you can also continue to read the memory of crowd massively, little. “对。”福卡斯笑道,“除了让你们越来越失眠,我还唤醒了你们的肉体潜能,让你们能在失眠的同时,保持良好的状态,不影响日常的生活,所以,你还能继续大规模地、一点点地翻看人群的记忆。 „When this matter, I have proceeded in an orderly way, should not make you detect anything, after all you read the memory, attention with emphasis definitely is my various related details, rather than by the life condition of reading.” “在这件事情上,我一直循序渐进,应该没让你察觉到什么,毕竟你翻看记忆时,关注的重点肯定是我相关的各种细节,而不是被翻看者的生活状态。” Lehne was again silent, separates a while to ask: 莱纳再次沉默,隔了一会儿才问道: „What significance does this have?” “这有什么意义？” „Naturally meaningful.” Focas paced slowly, shot a look at his one eyes, „ ‚initial city’ the intelligence system was very strong, you ‚end person’ some prices of domain had been grasped, but I discovered was the price in body and physiology, for example the sleep disorder, for example the hypertension, for example the physical quality dropped, wait/etc, wait/etc. “当然有意义。”福卡斯缓慢踱步,瞥了他一眼,“‘最初城’的情报系统还是很强的,你们‘末人’领域的部分代价早就被掌握了,而我发现其中很多是身体、生理上的代价,比如睡眠障碍,比如高血压,比如身体素质下降,等等,等等。 „I am not clear about your price in this part, but makes an attempt, will be defeated in any case will not have anything to lose, if succeeded, hey......” “我不清楚你的代价是不是在这部分里面,只是做一次尝试,反正失败了也不会有什么损失,而要是成功,嘿……” Focas smiled one: 福卡斯笑了一声: „ Overdraws physical confrontation losing sleep after for a long time, once no one awakens your physical body potential again, you said that what situation will have? “长期透支身体对抗失眠后,一旦没人再唤醒你的肉体潜能,你说会出现什么情况？ „Light gets sick greatly, heavy perhaps will sudden die.” “轻的大病一场,重的说不定会猝死。” Lehne's complexion sank. 莱纳的脸色沉了下去。 About him looked saying: 他左右看了看道: „Peripheral region definitely many body condition unsatisfactory people, you did not fear that affects them?” “周围区域肯定也有不少身体状态欠佳的人,你不怕影响到他们？” „Dust person has a proverb, the tenderhearted person is not suitable to be the general.” Focas lifted the chin, making that dignified stance expose with nothing left, „I do not investigate the peripheral region, looks for the suspect, for does not frighten off you, has the opportunity to teach you.” “灰土人有一句俗语,心软的人不适合当将军。”福卡斯抬起了下巴,让那种威严的姿态展露无遗,“我不排查周围区域,寻找可疑的人,为的就是不吓走你,有机会教训你。” At this point, Focas looked at Lehne one eyes, self-ridiculed that said with a smile: 说到这里,福卡斯看了莱纳一眼,自嘲一笑道: „I and you said that what so many do make? You are only a puppet......” “我和你说这么多做什么？你只是一个傀儡……” He finishes speaking, Lehne, fell but actually on the rug. 他话音刚落,莱纳就倒了下去,摔在了地毯上。 Security guards, others in mansion, fell into the comatose condition similarly. 门外的警卫们,府邸内的其他人,同样陷入了昏迷状态。 Focas changes civilian clothes, arrives at two grown up child there, proposes one single-handedly, goes to the garage in a hurry, on bulletproof cross country. 福卡斯换上一身便服,来到自己两个已成年的孩子那里,一手提上一个,匆匆前往车库,上了辆防弹越野。 He drove the vehicles to by the northern azure Chinese olive area. 紧接着,他将车辆开向了靠北的青橄榄区。 In this process, he has not telephoned to Upper House and government affairs hall, does not have the contact to subordinate in the city defense force subordinates. 这个过程中,他没有给元老院、政务厅打电话,也没有联络隶属于城防军的手下们。
