两个月后，基本痊愈的尚可被陆修樊接回家，同时加强了安全措施，几乎做到滴水不漏的地步。
Two months later, Lu Xiufan simultaneously brought home the mostly recovered Shang Ke and strengthened his home’s security to the point where not even a drop of water could escape.
尚可现在有专门的司机，专门的维修师，专门的裁缝，专门的厨师等等，这些人负责照顾他的衣食住行，他则负责照顾陆修樊。
Shang Ke now had special drivers, special maintenance staff, special tailors, special chefs, etc; these people were responsible for taking care of all his basic needs, while he in turn was responsible for taking care of Lu Xiufan.
完成主线任务，尚可开始将重心转移到守约人身上。附加任务是建立守约人保护机制，这个机制其实很久以前就有了，只是到现在已经失去效用。尚可要做的，就是让外界重新认识守约人。
Having completed the main task, Shang Ke began to shift his focus towards covenantors. The additional task was to set up a system for protecting covenantors. This system has actually been in place already for a long time. The only problem is that it currently lost its effectiveness. Shang Ke needed to force the general public to once again acknowledge covenantors.
守约人的能力参差不齐，这取决于他们本身的学识和阅历。他们因为感情缺失，看起来就像复制人一样木讷，但他们其实拥有各自不同的性格。有的语言丰富，有的沉默寡言，有的冷漠犀利。相同的是，他们没有欲望和心机，只在规定和制度下，按部就班地生活。
Covenantors’ abilities were uneven and depended on their original education and experience. While their lack of emotions make them seem as wooden as clones, in actuality, they all had different personalities. Some were rich in speech, some were reticent, some were cold and sharp. What they had in common was their lack of desires and thoughts of their own; they abided by rules and institutions, living an orderly life.
尚可又想到一个问题，如果他们被一群恐怖分子雇佣，岂不是会成为最佳犯罪工具？即使让他们去死，他们也不会有丝毫犹豫。虽然分配中心会对雇主的身份进行严格审查，但难免出现一两只漏网之鱼。
Shang Ke thought of another problem, if covenantors were hired by a group of terrorists, wouldn’t they become the ultimate criminal weapon? Even if they were to die, they wouldn’t show the slightest hesitation. Although the distribution centers conduct a background check on all employers, it’s difficult to ensure not even one or two bad actors escape the screening*.
随手在网上一查，果然查到不少有关守约人犯罪的信息。他们一旦被抓住，基本没有生还的可能，因为雇主一般会下达任务失败即刻自杀的命令。
Any casual Internet search will surface numerous news articles regarding covenantors committing crimes. Once caught, their chances of survival are slim since their employers typically give them orders to immediately commit suicide if they fail their task.
尚可估计这也是守约人得不到认可的原因之一，他们就像一把双刃剑，是好是坏，完全取决于主人的品质。
Shang Ke guesses this is probably one of the reasons why covenantors are not acknowledged; they are like a double-edged word, whether they are good or bad is solely dependent on the quality of their master.
陆修樊回到公馆，立刻被眼前的景象震了一下。
When Lu Xiufan returned to the mansion, he was immediately shaken by the scene he faced.
