Episode 13 – War of Kings (1)
第十三集-王者之战(1)
My plan was clear.
我的计划很明确。
The 1st Apostle, the plagiarist, had information about the 'third and fourth regressions' that were the beginning of Ways of Survival. As was always the case with informed people, he monopolized information and hid it from the prophets.
第一使徒，剽窃者，有关于“第三和第四回归”的信息，这是生存之道的开始。就像通情达理的人一样，他垄断信息，对先知隐瞒。
On the other hand, the Tyrant King was one of Seoul's Seven Kings who used the 'revelations' after knowing about the existence of the prophets.
另一方面，暴君国王是首尔的七个国王之一，他在知道先知的存在后使用了《启示录》。
The guy who wanted to monopolize information and the guy who tried to dig it out. It was obvious what would happen if the two of them faced each other.
那个想垄断信息的家伙和那个想把它挖出来的家伙。很明显，如果他们两个面对面会发生什么。
Lee Sungkook asked, “…Then you are going to make a novel text?"
李成国问道:“那么你打算写一篇小说文本?”
"That's right."
“没错。”
The plan itself was simple. We would make a text of the plagiarized writer's novel. Then spread it among the people of each station.
计划本身很简单。我们将把这个抄袭的作者的小说改编成文本。然后在每个车站的人们中间传播。
Well, it was roughly this type of feeling.
大概就是这种感觉。
–Some of the prophets' revelations have been leaked!
一些先知的启示被泄露了！
The finish was laid out well.
终点线布置得很好。
Thanks to Han Donghoon's Internet comments manipulation, information on the prophets had already spread on the Internet. If the leaking of a txt version was known, there would be a big ripple.
多亏了HanDonghoon对网络评论的操纵，关于先知的信息已经在网络上传播开来。如果txt版本的泄露被发现，将会引起一个巨大的涟漪。
A few early readers would try to get a hidden piece while the Tyrant King would naturally move to obtain them.
一些早期的读者会试图得到一个隐藏的部分，而暴君自然会移动去获得它们。
"But…I have forgotten most of the contents of SSSSS grade Infinite Regressor. How will we make the text?"
“但是......我已经忘记了SSSSS级无限回归的大部分内容。我们将如何制作文本?”
“Why do we need the contents of the plagiarized novel?"
“我们为什么需要抄袭的小说的内容?”
"Huh?"
“啊?”
“We remember the original."
“我们记得原版。”
"Ah…!"
“啊......”
There was a short cry of admiration. However, Jung Minseob's face was still dark.
有人发出一阵赞叹的叫声，但是，郑敏秀的脸色依然阴沉。
“Eh… there is still a problem. The hidden pieces that we know about in Ways of Survival have been mostly used…"
“呃......还有一个问题。我们在《生存之道》中知道的那些隐藏的部分大部分已经被使用了......”
“I will give you information in hidden pieces. I know a few that are present in the beginning. I will release information on items of the right level."
“我会把隐藏的信息告诉你。我知道一些在一开始就存在的问题。我将发布合适级别的项目信息。”
Above all, it had to catch the eye of the plagiarist writer and the Tyrant King.
最重要的是，它必须引起剽窃者作家和暴君国王的注意。
Lee Sungkook laughed awkwardly. "This is funny. I will make a text version. I am usually just a reader."
李成国尴尬地笑了起来。“这很有趣。我会做一个文字版本。我通常只是一个读者。”
This jerk… was he an illegal downloader?
这个混蛋...他是非法下载者吗？
Jung Minseob also spoke.
郑敏秀也发表了演讲。
“But if we do this, won't we be the same as him? In the end, we are plagiarizing the original story to make a story…"
”“但是如果我们这样做了，我们不就和他一样了吗？最后，我们还是抄袭了原来的故事，编了个故事......”
It made sense. I thought for a moment before saying.
这说得通，我想了一会儿才说。
"There is such a thing. Plagiarism is about not wanting you to know the original, a parody is more fun if you know the original while a homage wants you to know the original."
“确实有这么一回事。剽窃就是不想让你知道原作，而拙劣模仿则更有趣，如果你知道原作，而一种敬意却想让你知道原作。”
"Oh, this is interesting."
“哦，这很有趣。”
"From now on, we will be making a homage."
“从现在开始，我们将表示敬意。”
It was true. I hoped that many people would come to know SSSSS grade Infinite Regressor. That way he would be quickly ruined.
这是真的。我希望很多人能够了解SSSSS级无限回归模型。那样的话，他很快就会被毁掉。
We borrowed a laptop from Gong Pildu and started typing. We didn't have a lot of experience in writing novels so we had to put our heads together. Jung Minseob pulled his hair and said, “Writing is so difficult… writers are great…"
我们从龚皮尔都那里借了一台笔记本电脑，开始打字。我们在写小说方面没有太多经验，所以我们不得不集思广益。郑敏秀揪着他的头发说:“写作是如此的困难......作家是伟大的......”
“Just write roughly. We just need information that will attract them. Rather, an imperfect revelation might be easier to deceive the prophets. Mix the truth and lies."
“大致写一下就行了。我们只需要能吸引他们的信息。相反，一个不完美的启示可能更容易欺骗先知。把真相和谎言混为一谈。”
I watched what Jung Minseob typed and added some information.
我看了JungMinseob输入的内容，并添加了一些信息。
“Let's change the names of the people in the novel. I am a bit anxious."
“让我们把小说中人物的名字改了吧。我有点着急。”
Lee Hyunsung and Lee Jihye would be shocked about being characters in the story. Whether I liked it or not, someday they would find out that this world was a 'novel'. But it didn't have to be right now.
李贤成和李智慧对于自己是故事中的人物感到震惊。不管我喜不喜欢，总有一天他们会发现这个世界是一个“小说”。但不一定非得是现在。
Then Jung Minseob unexpectedly said, “Well, I don't think you need to worry about that part."
然后JungMinseob出人意料地说，“好吧，我不认为你需要担心这一部分。”
"Huh?"
“啊?”
“In fact, I tried to test some people by saying that this was a novel. But they didn't understand it at all. It is like a NPC… No matter how serious I am, they just take it as a joke."
“事实上，我试图通过说这是一部小说来测试一些人。但是他们一点也不明白。它就像一个NPC......不管我有多认真，他们都只是把它当成一个玩笑。”
It was an unexpected piece of information.
这是一条出人意料的消息。
Jung Minseob and the other apostles had spoken to characters several times about them being 'supporting actors.' Thinking about the reactions of the characters at the time…there was definitely something strange.
郑敏秀和其他使徒曾多次与人物交谈，说他们是“配角”想想当时角色的反应......肯定有些奇怪。
Jung Minseob continued to speak.
郑敏秀继续发言。
"This was how the 1st Apostle was able to easily find the prophets. The 'characters' were very displeased by the words 'this is a novel' or they didn't listen. Perhaps this was why the apostles used the term 'revelation.'”
“这就是使徒一号能够轻易找到先知的原因。“这是一部小说”这句话让“人物”非常不高兴，或者他们根本不听。也许这就是使徒们使用‘启示录’这个词的原因。”
I suddenly felt uneasy when I heard this. I opened my mouth. “…What is the difference between the characters and us?"
当我听到这个消息时，我突然感到不安。我张开了嘴。“......这些角色和我们有什么不同?”
"Huh? Um… we are people in reality and characters are people in novels? Isn't that the difference?"
“嗯?嗯......我们在现实中是人，而人物在小说中是人?这不是区别吗?”
“Then… when was this world divided into reality and a novel?"
“那么......这个世界是什么时候分成现实和小说的?”
“Hrmmm, well… When the first scenario started?"
“哈姆，好吧......第一个场景是什么时候开始的?”
My question wasn't resolved with Jung Minseob's answer.
我的问题并没有被JungMinseob的回答解决。
Jung Minseob and Lee Sungkook were obviously outsiders of the novel like me. It was because I couldn't see their information at first.
和LeeSungkook显然是小说中的局外人，就像我一样。那是因为一开始我看不到他们的信息。
But not long after, it was updated and I was able to look at their information in Character List.
但不久之后，它被更新了，我可以在字符列表中查看他们的信息。
Then were they now 'real people' or were they 'characters?' If everyone became a character over time…
那么他们现在是“真实的人”还是“角色”?如果每个人都随着时间的推移成为一个角色.....。
I looked at Yoo Sangah and Lee Gilyoung for a moment.
我看了刘尚雅和李吉杨一会儿。
[The exclusive skill, Character List is activated.]
[独家技能，角色列表被激活。]
[This person isn't registered in 'Character List.']
这个人没有在“角色列表”中注册
[Currently collecting information about the corresponding figure.]
[目前正在收集相应数字的信息]
Fortunately, I still couldn't see the information for both of them.
幸运的是，我仍然不能看到他们两个的信息。
Yoo Sangah suddenly looked back at me and smiled. Lee Gilyoung also looked at me.
刘尚雅突然回头看了我一眼，笑了。李吉英也看了我一眼。
"What is it Hyung?"
“这是什么，亨?”
"It is nothing."
“没什么。”
I didn't know why but I felt strangely relieved.
我不知道为什么，但奇怪的是我感到如释重负。

Soon after, we approximately completed the novel.
不久之后，我们大致完成了这部小说。
The quality was so bad that if it was serialized in Textpia, it would've bombed. But that didn't matter right ow.
质量太差了，如果在Textpia连载的话，肯定会出问题。但现在这些都不重要了。
“Let's first sprinkle the information that the Book of Revelations has been leaked."
“让我们首先宣布《启示录》被泄露的消息。”
Lee Sungkook asked.
李成国问道。
“Is there enough time to spread the information?"
“有足够的时间传播信息吗?”
"Donghun will take care of it. If we take advantage of the Hermit Invalid, it can be spread in a short amount of time."
“东亨会处理的。如果我们利用隐士病，它可以在短时间内传播开来。”
“Oh, Donghu… I see. But what if not all stations are capable of the Internet?"
“哦，Donghu......我明白了。但如果不是所有的电视台都能上网呢?”
“Then we will send someone."
“那我们就派人去。”
I looked behind me. Kang Ilhun nodded as if he had been waiting.
我回头看了看，康一魂点点头，好像一直在等我。
Lee Sungkook agreed. “Ah, that’s right. If it is Ilhun-ssi… I had forgotten."
LeeSungkook同意了。“啊，是的。如果是Ilhun-ssi...我已经忘记了。”
"Kang Ilhun-ssi, are you ready?"
“康伊伦斯，你准备好了吗?”
Kang Ilhun, the deputy of Dongdaemun. It was worth intentionally saving this guy.
康一魂，Dongdaemun的副警长，故意救这个人是值得的。
Kang Ilhun nervously opened his mouth. "Leave it to me. I am confident that I can catch them. I just need to spread rumours?"
康一魂紧张地张开了嘴。“交给我吧。我有信心能赶上他们。我只需要散布谣言?”
[The character 'Kang Ilhun' will follow your will.]
[“康一魂”这个字符会遵循你的意愿。]
[Your understanding of this person has increased.]
你对这个人的了解增加了
Kang Ilhun. It was finally time to use the attribute of Rumours Expert. The time remaining until the scenario ended was 44 hours.
康一魂。终于到了使用专家谣言属性的时候了。这个场景结束之前剩下的时间是44小时。
The next day, the game would begin.
第二天，比赛就开始了。

–Donghun, thank you.
东亨，谢谢你。
–I am just paying you back so don't worry.
我会还你钱的，别担心。
[The character 'Han Donghoon' trusts you a little bit.]
(韩东勋这个角色有点信任你。)
Since last time, 'Hermit King of Shadows' Han Donghoon had moderately opened up his heart to me. The fact that I saved him from the prophets seemed to have played a bigger role than expected.
自上次以来，影子王韩东勋对我适度地敞开了心扉。我把他从先知手中救出来的事实，似乎比我想象的发挥了更大的作用。
–I feel a strange sense of familiarity with you.
我对你有种奇怪的熟悉感。
–Familiarity?
熟悉吗？
–Since a long time ago… are you also a hermit?
很久以前...你也是一个隐士吗？
–Um, no I wasn't. Although I was a bit timid.
不，我没有，虽然我有点胆小。
–I see. I feel an unknown wall with Hyung. I can't explain it well but I like the feeling.
我明白了我觉得有一堵未知的墙和阿雄在一起我无法解释清楚，但我喜欢这种感觉
–Isn't it usually bad to feel a wall?
感觉到一堵墙不是很糟糕吗？
–I only believe in people with walls. In order to understand someone, I think I should face that wall first.
我只相信有墙的人为了理解某人，我想我应该先面对那堵墙
A person who was barely 17 years old was speaking like a wise man.
一个刚满17岁的人说话就像一个智者。
In any case, the wall. I was sure that he was right. Some walls couldn't be crossed no matter how desperate the person.
无论如何，这堵墙。我确信他是对的。有些墙是无法跨越的，不管人们有多么绝望。
–In any case, the rumour has spread. But how will you sow the revelations? On the Internet again?
-无论如何，谣言已经传开了。但你将如何播种揭露?在互联网上再次？
–No, the wrong people will read it if I place it on the Internet. I will sell it.
-不，如果我把它放到网上，不该看的人会看的。我会卖掉它。
–Sell it? How?
-卖掉?怎么卖？
I started to explain to Han Donghoon.
我开始向韩东勋解释。

There were 40 hours remaining until the end of the scenario.
还有40个小时，直到这个场景结束。
I finally summoned the Chungmuro group members.
我终于召集了Chungmuro小组的成员。
“This journey won't be easy. If we can't take Changsin Station in the next 40 hours, our group will be wiped out. However, our current forces isn't enough."
“这趟旅程并不轻松。如果我们不能在接下来的40小时内拿到昌信站，我们的队伍就会被消灭。然而，我们目前的力量还不够。”
“Well, since when has it been easy? Who is the opponent?"
“好吧，从什么时候开始变得容易了?谁是对手?”
I replied to Jung Heewon's question. "He is called the Tyrant King. He is one of the top seven kings of Seoul and the king with the largest territory."
我回答了郑鹤元的问题。“他被称为暴君之王。他是首尔七大国王之一，也是领土最大的国王。”
Lee Hyunsung asked this time. "What type of person is he?"
李贤星这次问道:“他是什么类型的人?”
"He is someone who started from Dobong-gu and built his own kingdom. He says that any beautiful or handsome man and woman will become concubines, while any ugly people will be killed or become slaves."
“他从Dobong-gu起家，建立了自己的王国。他说，任何美丽或英俊的男人和女人都会成为妾，而任何丑陋的人都会被杀害或成为奴隶。”
Jung Heewon frowned. “If Dokja-ssi is caught, you will become a slave."
JungHeewon皱起眉头，“如果Dokja-ssi被抓住，你将成为一个奴隶。”
“…Well, I think it will be dangerous for Heewon-ssi."
“嗯，我想这对于平原小姐来说是很危险的。”
"Being a concubine is difficult… Why don't we just go ahead and kill him?"
“做妾很难......为什么我们不直接杀了他呢?”
"It will be hard because his sponsor is quite strong. Now there are two paths. Take his flag or take over his headquarters, Dobong Station."
“这将很难，因为他的赞助商非常强大。现在有两条路。要么拿下他的旗帜，要么接管他的司令部——多邦车站。”
Neither was easy, causing everyone to feel tense. I decided to get to the point.
这两件事都不容易，让每个人都感到紧张。我决定直奔主题。
“We will go to Gwanghwamun."
“我们要去光华门。”
"Huh? Didn't you say not to fight them?"
“啊?你不是说不要和他们打吗?”
“They will come to us."
“他们会来找我们的。”
“Why?”
“为什么?”
“I leaked a bit of information. We have to consider the time he moves so we will leave soon. Everyone should be prepared… eh?"
“我泄露了一些信息。我们必须考虑他搬家的时间，所以我们很快就会离开。每个人都应该做好准备......嗯?”
"…What is it?"
“是什么?”
I subtly smiled at Yoo Sangah's question.
我微笑着回答了柳桑加的问题。
“Nothing. It is just happening faster than I expected."
“没什么，只是发生得比我预期的要快。”
Han Donghoon's message appeared on my smartphone.
韩东勋的留言出现在我的智能手机上。
–I was able to put it on the exchange. But is it okay?
-我可以把它放在交易所里-但是这样可以吗？
–Yes, its fine. Well done.
是的，很好，干得好。
Then system messages entered my ears one after another.
然后系统信息一个接一个地进入我的耳朵。
[The items on the exchange have been sold.]
交易所的货物已经卖出去了
[The items on the exchange have been sold.]
交易所的货物已经卖出去了
At that moment, a trembling voice was heard from the air.
这时，从空中传来一个颤抖的声音。
[…Are you a scammer?]
你是个骗子吗
'What is the reaction among the constellations?'
“星座之间的反应是什么?”
[They are really excited. The filtering limit has started to unravel… there are those who gave it as gifts to their incarnations. But if you do this, you will receive attention again. Will you be okay? And if you release all the information you know, won't it go against you?]
他们真的很兴奋。过滤限制已经开始瓦解......有些人把它作为礼物送给他们的化身。但是如果你这样做了，你会再次受到关注。你没事吧？如果你公布了所有你知道的信息，这不会对你不利吗?]
