Judging from his attire, I was pretty sure that he was Taishang Laojun (the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord).
从他的着装来看，我十分肯定他就是太上老君。
[Oh, Conquering King Zhu Bajie, those Yogoes you have slain are pigs that I reared back in my palace in Tushita. They escaped after fearing their fate of being served up on the heaven's dining table, so show them sympathy and allow me to take the surviving ones away.]
征服朱八戒，你杀的那些尤格人是我在Tushita的宫殿里养的猪。他们害怕自己的命运会被端上天堂的餐桌，于是逃了出来，所以请向他们表示同情，并允许我把幸存者带走
Yup, that pattern had finally shown up.
是的，这种模式终于出现了。
The entirety of the Journey to the West's plot unfolded in such a fashion. An event would occur, the culprit would be revealed as a Yogoe, and when it was about to be vanquished, some weird Taoist dude would suddenly pop up and say "Actually, that Yogoe is XX that I'd been rearing" before taking it away with him.
《西游记》的整个情节就是这样展开的。一个事件会发生，罪魁祸首会被揭露为一个瑜珈，当它即将被击败的时候，一些古怪的道士会突然冒出来说:“事实上，瑜珈是我一直抚养的XX”，然后带走它。
[A portion of judges are awarding extra points for the development that reflect the original work.]
[一部分评委对反映原作的开发给予额外加分]
[30 additional points have been added!]
[增加了30点!]
Of course, there was no way I'd let such a development slide without saying something, what with my twisted disposition and all. "If you were planning to take them away anyway, why didn't you come and help the villagers from the beginning?"
当然，我不可能不说点什么就让这样的发展溜走，因为我性格扭曲。“如果你打算把他们带走，为什么不从一开始就来帮助村民呢?”
[My apologies. I was somewhat occupied earlier….]
(对不起，我刚才有点忙......)
Nope, actually, you couldn't be bothered earlier.
不，事实上，你不能更早被打扰。
Even in reality, countless Constellations of <Emperor> rarely tried to aid their Incarnations, just like now, when they had prior knowledge on what was going on in the scenarios.
即使在现实中，无数的皇帝星座也很少试图帮助他们的化身，就像现在一样，当他们事先知道在这个场景中发生了什么。
"Take them away."
“把他们带走。”
[Thank you.]
谢谢
Yu Jung-Hyeok gave his permission, and Taishang Laojun ascended up to the sky along with his 'pigs'.
于重赫同意了，太上老君和他的“猪”们一起上了天。
(Once Taishang Laojun took his pigs away, peace finally visited this rural village.)
(一次台山老君带走了他的猪，和平终于来到了这个村庄。)
A normal story would've come to an end here.
一个正常的故事会在这里结束。
But then, my [Fiery Golden Eyes] suddenly stung and the outer appearances of the Yogoes leaving alongside with Taishang Laojun wavered about greatly.
但是，我那火红的金眼突然刺痛了，约格人和台山老君一起离开的外貌大大动摇了。
[….Don't want…. go]
[...不想...走]
[….For how long….]
[...多久...]
I heard the Yogoes' voices, their tone sounding eerily familiar. Even though they luckily avoided getting killed, none of them looked happy about it. How should I put this?
我听到了约格人的声音，他们的语调听起来怪怪的熟悉。尽管他们幸运地避免了被杀，但是他们看起来都不高兴。我该怎么说呢？
It was as if they wanted to die in this place, instead.
相反，他们似乎想死在这个地方。
*
"This village is now yours. Although you'll have to operate the factory by yourselves, you won't go empty-bellied like in the past."
“这个村子现在是你的了。虽然你们必须自己经营工厂，但你们不会像过去那样空腹。”
With that, Yu Jung-Hyeok joined our little group.
就这样，余正赫加入了我们这个小团体。
The villagers held a tearful farewell party for us before we left. Or more specifically, they seemed to be disappointed not of us leaving, but due to Yu Jung-Hyeok going with us….
在我们离开前，村民们为我们举行了一个热泪盈眶的告别晚会。或者更确切地说，他们似乎对我们的离开感到失望，而不是因为我们要离开，而是因为余正赫和我们一起走..。
"Chet. I wanted to beat him up and then drag him away."
“切特，我想揍他一顿，然后把他拖走。”
Once the party ended, Yi Gil-Yeong and Shin Yu-Seung set off on the road again, and I followed after them as well. Meanwhile, Yu Jung-Hyeok was keeping a few steps of distance away from us.
聚会一结束，李吉英和申玉升又上路了，我也跟着他们。与此同时，余重赫离我们只有几步之遥。
What an awkward atmosphere this was.
多么尴尬的气氛啊。
Now that I thought about it, I had no clue what Yu Jung-Hyeok was like around my other companions when I wasn't around.
现在想起来，我完全不知道当我不在的时候，余正赫和其他同伴在一起是什么样子。
I ended up worrying about him and so, I had to say something. "Excuse me, Junior Brother. Why don't you walk closer to us?"
最后我很担心他，所以我必须说点什么。“对不起，年轻的兄弟。你为什么不走近一点?”
"….And who's your 'junior' now?"
“......现在谁是你的‘小儿子’?”
That idiot glared back at me with incredibly intimidating eyes and I couldn't say anything else.
那个白痴瞪着我，眼神里充满了不可思议的威胁，我什么也说不出来。
Meanwhile, the kids sidled up to my side and began chatting away in happiness.
与此同时，孩子们悄悄地来到我身边，开始兴高采烈地聊天。
"Hey, Demon King of Salvation, you did alright back there."
“嘿，救世魔王，你刚才干得不错。”
"If you haven't discovered the truth about those Yogoes back then, we might have ended up in a big disaster, disciple-nim."
“如果你还没有发现那些瑜伽回到过去的真相，我们可能会陷入一场大灾难，弟子尼姆。”
To be honest, I hadn't done anything of note. Yu Jung-Hyeok killed Yogoes, and the one who saved the village was also him. All I did was spectate from the sidelines and say a couple of lines. Even then, kids were busy praising me, not him.
老实说，我没有做什么值得注意的事情。于重赫杀死了约格，救村子的人也是他。我所做的只是旁观，说几句台词。即使在那时，孩子们也忙着称赞我，而不是他。
I glanced at him. As if he hadn't heard anything, he concentrated on polishing his [Dark Heavenly Demon Sword].
我瞥了他一眼，他好像什么也没听见似的，全神贯注地擦着他的[黑暗天魔剑]。
⸢In that moment, Kim Dok-Ja began wondering for the first time ever. 'How did my companions see Yu Jung-Hyeok while I'm not around?⸥
就在那一刻，金道子开始有史以来第一次感到好奇。“我不在的时候，我的同伴是怎么看见余正赫的？
Not too long afterwards, it became evening.
没过多久，天就黑了。
Gathered firewood burned brightly and we formed a small circle around the campfire to bathe in its warmth. It felt almost as if we were out camping.
我们收集了明亮燃烧的柴火，围着篝火围成一个小圈，沐浴在它的温暖中。感觉就像我们在外面露营。
It was Yu Jung-Hyeok who oh-so-suddenly decided to act like a wet blanket in this pleasant atmosphere.
是俞正赫突然决定在这种愉快的气氛中扮演一个令人扫兴的人。
"I shall act on my own from now on."
“从现在开始，我要自己行动了。”
His voice sounded utterly disinterested, as if he was still polishing his damn sword, prompting me to respond unconsciously. "What do you mean by that?"
他的声音听起来完全没有兴趣，好像他还在擦他那该死的剑，促使我无意识地作出反应。“你这是什么意思?”
"Going to India and fetching the 'sacred texts' will end this journey, is it not? I alone will be sufficient for this task. I shall go there and…."
“去印度取‘圣经’，这趟旅程就结束了，不是吗？只有我一个人就足以完成这项任务。我要去那里......”
"You must not do that!"
“你不能这样做!”
Indeed, Zhu Bajie using his Cloud Riding technique, or even me utilising the Somersault Cloud, would reach India in the blink of an eye. For sure, Sun Wukong mentioned this fact back in the original story too, and when I was much younger, I also questioned the logic behind it as well.
事实上，朱八杰用他的云骑术，甚至是我用筋斗云，都能在一眨眼间到达印度。当然，孙悟空在最初的故事中也提到了这个事实，当我还很年轻的时候，我也质疑这个事实背后的逻辑。
⸢Why didn't Sun Wukong go and get the texts by himself?⸥
孙悟空为什么不自己去拿呢
I now had a better understanding of why he didn't.
我现在对他为什么没有这样做有了更好的理解。
"If you do that, then there will be no meaning to this story."
“如果你这样做，那么这个故事就没有意义了。”
Taking over fourteen years of slow crawling to cross the distance short enough to traverse in one night - that time existed for the sole purpose of completing the story that was the 'Journey to the West'.
花了十四年的时间慢慢爬行，才在一个晚上走完了这么短的距离——这段时间的存在只是为了完成《西游记》这个故事。
However, Yu Jung-Hyeok's thoughts were different. "I don't have the time to waste here."
然而，俞正赫的想法却不同，他说:“我没有时间在这里浪费。”
"This trip should not be that long. It'll definitely not take over 14 years for us, so please be patient. Progressing according to the itinerary while meeting the rest of our companions should prove to be a good experience for you."
“这次旅行不应该持续那么久。我们肯定不会花超过14年的时间，所以请耐心等待。按计划进行，同时与其他同伴会面，对你来说应该是一次很好的经历。”
He must've found it unexpected that I said those words, because he began staring at me while speaking up. "You are not one of my companions."
他一定是意外地发现我说了那些话，因为他开始一边说一边盯着我看。“你不是我的同伴。”
Yup, of course.
是的，当然。
There was no way that this deeply-suspicious-of-everyone Yu Jung-Hyeok would believe me.
这个对每个人都怀有深深怀疑的余正赫不可能相信我。
"I know that."
“我知道。”
Silence descended among the group.
这群人鸦雀无声。
Yi Gil-Yeong wordlessly tossed a pebble inside the campfire, while Shin Yu-Seung nervously studied Yu Jung-Hyeok's and my current moods, her fingers fidgeting around with the soil on the ground.
李吉英一言不发地把一块鹅卵石扔进营火里，同时申玉升紧张地研究着余重赫和我现在的情绪，她的手指在地上的泥土上不停地动来动去。
It was then we heard the sound of a stomach growling loudly. Yi Gil-Yeong frowned tearfully and rubbed his belly.
就在这时，我们听到了肚子咕噜咕噜的声音。易吉英泪流满面地皱着眉头，揉着肚子。
"I'm starving…."
“我饿死了......”
I grinned slightly and pulled something out from my inner pocket. "Would you like some dumplings?"
我咧嘴笑了笑，从里面的口袋里掏出一样东西:“你想吃饺子吗?”
It was my secret stash of dumplings that I made while walking on that 'Dumpling Road'.
这是我秘密藏起来的饺子，是我走在饺子路上时做的。
Yi Gil-Yeong warily eyed me but still received a dumpling anyway. He eventually bit into it. His eyes opened up real wide, his irises trembling powerfully.
伊吉英警惕地看着我，但还是收到了一个饺子。他最后还是咬了一口。他的眼睛睁得很大，虹膜有力地颤抖着。
"What the heck?! This is so much tastier than what I ate back in the factory!"
“真见鬼!这比我在工厂吃的东西好吃多了!”
Of course, it was tastier. It simply had to.
当然，它更美味，只是不得不这么做。
[A portion of the audience members are getting really curious about the taste of 'Murim dumplings'.]
[一部分观众对穆里姆饺子的味道真的很好奇]
I sensed Yu Jung-Hyeok [999] flinch ever so slightly on my shoulder.
我感觉到YuJung-Hyeok(999)在我的肩膀上轻微地退缩。
In the meantime, I handed the dumplings over to Shin Yu-Seung and Yu Jung-Hyeok as well.
与此同时，我还把饺子交给了申玉升和于正赫。
The latter frowned and shook his head. "I don't eat food made by other people."
后者皱起眉头，摇了摇头，“我不吃别人做的食物。”
"Other people didn't make this."
“这不是别人做的。”
He seemed deeply puzzled by that. Most likely, he had no idea what I was talking about. He then glared at the [Murim dumpling] resting before his eyes with some suspicion, but eventually made up his mind and cautiously reached out to it.
他似乎对此深感困惑。很有可能，他根本不知道我在说什么。然后，他用怀疑的目光盯着眼前正在休息的[穆林饺子]，但最终还是下定了决心，小心翼翼地伸出手。
And very slowly, so very slowly, as if he was studying his new enemy, brought the dumpling near his nose.
而且非常慢，非常慢，好像他正在研究他的新敌人，把饺子靠近他的鼻子。
"….This aroma "
“...这种香味?”
That's right, eat that damn dumpling, you bastard.
没错，吃那个该死的饺子，你这个混蛋。
Yu Jung-Hyeok continued his pained deliberation over and over again, and in the end, brought the dumpling towards his lips very slowly. As if he was tearing into the neck of the enemy commander, he took a small bite out of it.
于重赫把痛苦的思绪一遍又一遍地继续下去，最后慢慢地把饺子放到嘴边。他像是要撕裂敌军指挥官的脖子似的，咬了一小口。
Yi Gil-Yeoung, Shin Yu-Seung, and I tensely observed the sight of him chewing the dumpling. Even the chef [999] on my shoulder had stopped moving and waited for the dude's reaction.
李吉英、申玉升和我紧张地看着他嚼饺子的样子。甚至我肩膀上的厨师也停止了移动，等待着老兄的反应。
Gulp.
吞咽。
Yu Jung-Hyeok finally finished swallowing his initial mouthful, then proceeded to take another bite. Very, very slowly, the frown on his forehead disappeared. His lips bobbed up and down in great haste.
于重赫最终吞下了最初的一口，然后又咬了一口。非常，非常缓慢地，他额头上的皱眉消失了。他的嘴唇急促地上下翘着。
The speed at which he consumed the dumpling increased. Second bite, third bite….
他吃饺子的速度加快了。第二口，第三口.....。
Eventually, his hand reached out to the second dumpling. But then, he flinched and stopped, and began glaring at me instead.
最后，他的手伸向了第二个饺子。但是后来，他畏缩了一下，停了下来，开始瞪着我。
"What are you looking at?"
“你在看什么?”
I sneakily averted my gaze and began chowing the dumplings as well.
我偷偷地移开视线，开始吃饺子。
….If I used the [Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint] here, I might have heard something much more entertaining just now, but well, I swore not to use that anymore, so….
如果我在这里使用[无所不知的读者的视角]，我可能会听到一些更有趣的东西，但是，好吧，我发誓不再使用它了，所以..。
"….It's not that bad, I suppose."
“我想也没那么糟糕吧。”
I heard Yu Jung-Hyeok's nearly-inaudible muttering and quietly looked up at the sky. The stars of the night sky sparkled as they looked down at us, as if the destruction of the world was a story belonging to a distant realm.
我听到余重赫几乎听不见的喃喃自语，静静地抬头看着天空。夜空中的星星向下看着我们，闪闪发光，仿佛世界的毁灭是一个属于遥远王国的故事。
While chewing the dumpling, I began thinking this for the first time. That I wouldn't have minded this story going on for a little while longer.
吃饺子的时候，我第一次想到了这个问题。我不会介意这个故事再持续一段时间。

[Deep night has arrived.]
深夜已经来临
['Journey to the West Remake' System will enter one hour of maintenance.]
[《西游记》翻拍系统将进入一个小时的维护时间]
The darkness descending was pitch-black. Everyone had fallen asleep.
黑暗渐渐降临，一片漆黑，大家都睡着了。
Sun Wukong used his arm as his pillow and began snoring away, and as for the pair of Tang Sanzangs, they used each of the Monkey King's legs as their own pillows to sleep as well. They must've been fatigued by the journey.
孙悟空用自己的胳膊当枕头，打起鼾来。唐三藏夫妇也用孙悟空的两条腿当枕头睡觉。他们一定是旅途劳累了。
However, a shadow quietly stood up, utilising this dead of night where the messages from the audience members and the judges had disappeared temporarily.
然而，一个影子静静地站了起来，利用这个夜深人静的时候，来自观众和评委的信息暂时消失了。
It was Yu Jung-Hyeok.
是余正赫。
He silently unsheathed [Dark Heavenly Demon Sword] and approached the sleeping Sun Wukong.
他默默地拔出暗天魔剑，走近沉睡的孙悟空。
And very slowly, he pointed the tip of his blade against the sleeping figure.
慢慢地，他用刀尖指着那个熟睡的人。
