“他可能需要一些时间来首先弄清楚自己目前的处境。”
"What an annoying bastard. Do we need to wait for him, then?"
“真是个讨厌的混蛋。我们需要等他吗?”
I cleanly ignored them and scanned the room I was in. It was a huge circular-shaped room; everything, including the table, the chairs, the other smaller knick-knacks, and even the bed I was sitting on, was circular-shaped.
我干净利落地无视他们,扫视着我所在的房间。这是一个巨大的圆形房间,所有的东西,包括桌子,椅子,其他小摆设,甚至我坐的床,都是圆形的。
….Where the hell was I?
我到底在哪里?
I thought hard and long, but nothing came up. A room with such peculiar furnishing would be more than memorable enough, but I couldn't remember ever reading about it in the 'Ways of Survival'.
我想了很久,但是什么也没有发生。一个房间有这样奇特的家具将会是非常令人难忘的,但是我不记得曾经在《生存之道》中读到过它。
Wondering if I stumbled into an area for a new scenario accidentally, I summoned the scenario window, only to be smacked in the head with the following message.
想知道我是不是无意中进入了一个新的场景,我召唤了场景窗口,结果被下面的信息击中了头部。
[Currently, <Star Stream> is in the middle of scenario system maintenance.]
[目前,星流正在进行场景系统维护。]
Meaning, there was pretty much nothing I could learn in my current situation.
也就是说,在目前的情况下,我几乎什么都学不到。
"Looks like he's almost done with analysing his situation."
“看起来他已经快分析完自己的处境了。”
"I shall ask again. Are you the one called Kim Dok-Ja?"
“我再问一遍,你就是那个叫金道子的人吗?”
The kkoma Yu Jung-Hyeok with a hot-tempered facial expression asked me. Now that I took a closer look, there were different numbered cards stuck to the chest of each kkoma Yu Jung-Hyeok, and the one who asked me just now had [999] written on his.
库马于正赫(音译)面带怒容地问我。现在我仔细看了一下,每个库玛的胸前都贴着不同编号的卡片,刚才问我的那个人的胸前写着[999]。
I decided to answer them for the time being. "Correct. I'm Kim Dok-Ja."
我决定暂时回答他们,“正确,我是金道子。”
The kkoma Yu Jung-Hyeoks looked at each other and nodded their heads simultaneously. These little guys, even though they were much smaller than the original, they acted exactly the same as Yu Jung-Hyeok.
库马·于正赫(YuJung-Hyeoks)夫妇面面相觑,同时点了点头。这些小家伙,虽然他们比原来的小很多,但是他们的动作和余正赫一模一样。
"Looks like the correct one has been brought over, then."
“看来正确的那个已经送过来了。”
Even the voice was the same, too….
连声音都是一样的。
I didn't know what was going on here, but by this time, I had to accept it. I was not stuck in a dream. And thanks to some unknown crazy whims of the Probability, I somehow ended up in a strange, fantastical kingdom where kkoma Yu Jung-Hyeoks lived.
我不知道这里发生了什么,但是到了这个时候,我不得不接受现实。我没有被困在梦里。多亏了一些不为人知的、疯狂的可能性,我不知怎么的来到了一个奇怪的、幻想的王国,在那里,库马·于·荣赫居住着。
"Who are you guys?"
“你们是谁?”
I decided to ask them first. I knew that they wouldn't answer me straightforward if they were anything like the original Yu Jung-Hyeok, but still. One of the kkomas began muttering out. "How pathetic. Can't you tell by looking?"
我决定先问问他们。我知道,如果他们像原来的俞正赫那样,他们不会直截了当地回答我,但是他们还是这样。其中一个高尔夫球迷开始咕哝起来。“真可悲。你看不出来吗?”
Yup, thought as much. If I was to be stuck in a world like this, then I'd have preferred to be surrounded by the kind, gentle kkoma version of Yu Sang-Ah, instead. I was wondering how should I retort back in order to hear a proper answer from these guys, but then, the 'Yu Jung-Hyeok' with [888] written on his card spoke some rather unexpected words. "With your dull head, you'd never arrive at the correct answer no matter how long you agonise over it. So, I shall tell you. We are a part of the 'great Plotter'."
是的,我也这么想。如果我被困在这样一个世界里,那么我宁愿被友善、温柔的余桑娥所包围。我想知道我应该怎样反驳才能从这些家伙那里听到一个合适的答案,但是,他的卡片上写着[888]的“YuJung-Hyeok”说了一些出人意料的话。“你的头脑迟钝,无论你为这个问题苦恼多久,都不可能得出正确的答案。所以,我要告诉你。我们是‘伟大的策划者’的一部分。”
….Great Plotter? Could it be?
伟大的绘图师?会是吗?
A chilly sensation flitted in and out of my head just then.
就在这时,一种寒冷的感觉掠过我的脑海。
The 'Yu Jung-Hyeok' with [777] on his chest must've interpreted my silence on his own way and spoke in a mocking tone. "Your pathetic intelligence shouldn't be enough to understand it now."
胸前挂着[777]的“YuJung-Hyeok”一定是用他自己的方式解读了我的沉默,并用嘲弄的语调说话。“你那可怜的智商现在还不足以理解它。”
Right, these guys, they were definitely Yu Jung-Hyeok. There was absolutely no doubt about that now.
对,这些家伙,他们绝对是俞正赫,现在绝对没有疑问了。
"If you're fully awake, then get up. Someone is waiting for you."
“如果你完全清醒,那就起床。有人在等你。”
"Who's waiting for me?"
“谁在等我?”
"You'll see when you get there."
“到了那儿你就知道了。”
I got up unsteadily and followed after that kkoma. The round door opened up and a huge corridor appeared before me. The one to take the lead was the kkoma Yu Jung-Hyeok number [999]. I followed him. The rest of the kkomas trotted after us, too.
我摇摇晃晃地站起来,然后跟在后面。圆形的门打开了,一条巨大的走廊出现在我面前。带头的是俞正赫数字[999]。我跟着他。剩下的3k党也跟着我们跑。
I asked one of them. "What is this place?"
我问其中一个,“这是什么地方?”
That prompted one of the Yu Jung-Hyeoks following me to speak up. "Eun gui ei soup."
这促使其中一个YuJung-Hyeoks跟着我大声说道:“Eunguieisoup。”
"What was that?"
“那是什么?”
"It means, the N'Gai's Forest. You're supposed to be a prophet, yet you can't even tell that?"
“意思是,黑盖森林。你应该是一个先知,但是你连这个都不知道?”
What the hell. Why did you say that in English, then? (TL note at the end.)
管他呢。那你为什么用英语说这个?(最后一个TL注释)
The kkoma Yu Jung-Hyeok number [666] glared at me as if he was disappointed and turned his head away, obviously unhappy.
库马于正行号码[666]瞪着我,好像他很失望,转过头去,显然很不高兴。
It was around then I began thinking that maybe, those numbers represented the regression turns each Yu Jung-Hyeok had lived through.
大约在那时,我开始思考,也许,这些数字代表了,每一个YuJung-Hyeok经历过的回归过程。
….What did Yu Jung-Hyeok do around the 666th turn? Was that when he partnered up with the Abyssal Black Flame Dragon?
在第666圈的时候,俞正赫做了什么?那是他和深海黑焰龙搭档的时候吗?
I spotted the view of a silver forest outside the windows lining up the corridor. N'Gai's Forest, was it? Sounded familiar, as if I had heard about it somewhere. However, I wasn't sure whether this place ever appeared within the 'Ways of Survival'….
我在走廊的窗户外面看到一片银色的森林。恩盖森林,是吗?听起来很熟悉,好像我在什么地方听说过似的。然而,我不确定这个地方是否曾经出现在《生存之道》中.....。
It was then when our group encountered another one walking towards from the other side of the corridor.
就在这时,我们小组遇到了另一个人,他正从走廊的另一边朝我们走来。
[So, is he the one the Plotter had brought along?]
那么,他就是那个密谋者带来的人吗
No, could I even describe their movements as 'walking'?
不,我甚至可以把他们的行动描述为‘行走’吗?
Overcome with the sensation of all the hair on my body standing up, I subconsciously gripped the hilt of my [Unbreakable Faith] tighter.
克服了全身毛发都竖立起来的感觉,我下意识地紧紧抓住我的(牢不可破的信仰)柄。
Because, 'Outer Gods' were walking towards us from the opposite side.
因为,“外界诸神”正从另一边朝我们走来。
Existences that emitted auras incomparably more unstable and ominous than any Constellations. One of them sported a horse's head, while others were monstrous creatures covered in disgusting-looking tentacles. Those tentacles extending up to the air seemed to tilt their 'heads' for a bit, before shuffling closer to my direction. No matter who looked at that, they wouldn't be able to describe their intentions as friendly at all.
发出无比光环的存在,比任何星座都更不稳定、更凶险。其中一个长着马头,另一些则是长着令人作呕的触须的怪物。那些伸向空中的触须似乎稍稍倾斜了一下它们的“头”,然后慢慢靠近我的方向。不管是谁看到了这一点,他们都无法用友好来形容自己的意图。
Unexpectedly, the one to step in their paths was none other than the kkoma Yu Jung-Hyeok number [999].
出乎意料的是,踏上他们道路的不是别人,正是俞正赫(kkomaYuJung-Hyeok)数字[999]。
"He's our guest. Don't even think about harassing him."
“他是我们的客人,别想骚扰他。”
[But, it should not be a problem just to have a little chat?]
(但是,仅仅是聊一聊应该不成问题吧?)
"I shan't permit it."
“我不会允许的。”
The kkoma Yu Jung-Hyeok number [999] declared as thus, and unsheathed the miniature version of [Heaven Shaking Sword] from his back.
于正行号码[999]就是这样宣布的,并从他的背后拔出了微型版本的[天摇剑]。
Following that, the kkomas numbers [888], [777], and even the number [666], they all unsheathed their weapons mounted on their backs and hips.
接下来,京基队的数字是[888],[777],甚至数字是[666],他们都拔出了背上和臀部上的武器。
….These guys, could they even really fight? I mean, they all kind of looked like action figures, so….
这些家伙,他们真的会打架吗?我的意思是,他们看起来都像动作玩偶,所以..。
Maybe the other party thought the same as me, because they began emitting stubbornly persistent hostile aura towards us.
也许对方和我的想法一样,因为他们开始顽固地向我们散发出持续不断的敌对气氛。
[How dare you… Just because you're the dependents of the 'great Plotter'….]
[你怎么敢......就因为你是‘伟大的策划者’的依靠......]
As the stand-off quickly became even more volatile and the tentacles and the kkomas were about to start fighting, a loud 'Thud' resounded out from somewhere. Outer Gods busy wiggling their tentacles about suddenly all knelt down.
随着对峙迅速升级,触手和高尔夫球场即将开战,一声巨响从某处传来。外界诸神忙着摆动他们的触角,突然全都跪了下来。
The only one among them still standing was the horse-head that showed animosity towards me.
他们中唯一还站着的是那个对我表示敌意的马头。
[■■■…..!!]
[■■ ... ! ! ]
Another 'Thud' resounded out. Finally, even the horse-head had to slam its head on the floor. Those tremors couldn't have been a simple shockwaves of an earthquake.
另一个砰的一声响了起来。最后,连马头也不得不把它的头摔在地板上。那些地震不可能是简单的地震冲击波。
No, someone was intimidating these Outer Gods with incredible Status right now.
不,有人正在用难以置信的地位恐吓这些外界诸神。
[Wu, wuwu…..]
[吴,吴......]
Outer Gods groaned in pain and moved out of the way. At the end of the corridor, there was an entrance leading to a huge hall. It was an open-type, with the massive circular ceiling decorated by the tumbling, roiling branches of trees. I walked into this hall accompanied by the kkoma Yu Jung-Hyeoks.
外在的神在痛苦中呻吟,然后移开了道路。在走廊的尽头,有一个入口通向一个大厅。这是一座开放式建筑,巨大的圆形天花板上装饰着翻滚的树枝。我走进这个大厅,旁边陪着我的是余正行。
Thin rays of sunlight permeating in between the branches illuminated an ancient, worn-out throne right in the middle of that great hall.
细细的阳光透过树枝照亮了大厅正中一个古老而破旧的宝座。
No one needed to tell me, but I knew it right away. The being sitting on that throne, he was the king of this forest.
没有人需要告诉我,但我马上就知道了。坐在宝座上的那个人,就是这片森林的国王。
Not only that, I knew who he was already, too.
不仅如此,我还知道他是谁。
The scar on his face, revealed under the faint rays of the sun, and the exact same white coat as mine.
他脸上的伤疤,在微弱的阳光下显露出来,还有和我一模一样的白大褂。
The being I thought I'd not get to meet again was sitting right on that throne.
我以为我不会再见到的那个人就坐在那个宝座上。
[It's been a while, Kim Dok-Ja.]
[好久不见,金道子]
