That was Kim Dok-Ja. That sentence, it definitely came from him. She didn't need to hear his voice to know that.
是KimDok-Ja。那句话,绝对是他说的。她不需要听到他的声音就知道了。
Han Su-Yeong wrote the next sentence.
韩素英写下了下一句话。
⸢What's this, you were alright?⸥
这是什么,你没事吧
Being an author didn't mean you were in control of every word you write. And also, she was the type of person who could only write stuff like that. However, Kim Dok-Ja should be able to read that fine. Because he was the greatest reader she knew.
成为一名作家并不意味着你可以控制你写的每一个字。而且,她是那种只会写那种东西的人。然而,金道子应该能够读懂这个罚款。因为他是她认识的最伟大的读者。
Knock.
敲门。
Along with a slight knocking noise, she heard his laughter. Sounds of weapons clashing coming from everywhere hurt her ears. Her companions were still bitterly fighting. No time to leisurely waste time, in other words.
伴随着轻微的敲门声,她听到了他的笑声。从四面八方传来的武器冲突的声音刺痛了她的耳朵。她的同伴们仍在激烈地战斗。没有时间去悠闲地浪费时间,换句话说。
⸢You knew this would happen from the get-go, didn't you?⸥
你一开始就知道会这样,对吧
⸢…..■■■■■⸥
■■■■■■■
She couldn't clearly see the sentence written on the wall. As if, the communication earlier was just a pure fluke of really low odds.
她看不清墙上写的句子。就好像之前的交流只是一个真正低赔率的纯粹意外。
⸢Hey, you! Write legibly, will ya?!⸥
嘿,你!写清楚点,好吗?
Even though Jang Ha-Yeong was helping out here, Kim Dok-Ja's message still couldn't be seen.
尽管张夏勇在这里帮忙,金道子的信息仍然没有被看到。
['Wall of Impossible Communication' is unleashing its power!]
[“不可能的通讯之墙”正在释放它的力量!]
Tsu-chuchuchut!
楚楚!
Far too many sentences were aimlessly floating above the wall.
太多的句子漫无目的地漂浮在墙上。
Every single one of them happened to be what she and the rest of the companions said to Kim Dok-Ja. Some of them were clear to see, while some were indistinct.
他们每一个人碰巧都是她和其他同伴对金道子说的话。有些清晰可见,有些模糊不清。
"Su-Yeong-ah."
“素妍雅。”
"…..I know."
“我知道。”
While listening to Jang Ha-Yeong's voice, Han Su-Yeong reached out to the wall one more time. She tried really hard to find Kim Dok-Ja's message by combining the floating sentences.
韩素英一边听着张夏勇的声音,一边又一次把手伸向墙壁。她非常努力地试图通过结合浮动句来找到KimDok-Ja的信息。
[Fable, 'Predictive Plagiarism', has begun its storytelling!]
[寓言,‘预测剽窃’,已经开始讲故事了!]
[Target is an existence you can't understand!]
[目标是一种你无法理解的存在!]
What connected each letter was context. Letters cast out in the sea without context were akin to a book that had been created to be unreadable.
把每个字母联系起来的是上下文。在没有上下文的情况下被丢弃在大海中的信件就像一本被创造出来无法阅读的书。
⸢"I'm going home now."⸥
“我要回家了。”
⸢"You'll lend me a spare battery when we go camping?"⸥
“我们去露营的时候,你能借我一块备用电池吗?”
All she could do now was to connect those context-less sentences somehow. Inject context into these nonsensical sentences to give them meaning. Shuffle those that weren't plot development so that they looked like it.
她现在能做的就是用某种方式把那些没有上下文的句子联系起来。在这些毫无意义的句子中注入上下文,赋予它们意义。把那些不是情节发展的重新排列,使它们看起来像情节发展。
However, it was not enough. No matter how she connected them, there would always be some part without meaning.
然而,这还不够,不管她怎么把它们联系起来,总会有一些没有意义的部分。
"Kim Dok-Ja! Say something! What is the plan?! Just what do you want us to do here?!"
“KimDok-Ja!说点什么!计划是什么?!你想让我们在这里做什么?!”
No reply came back to her. The roaring Outer God King was still battling the Constellations. The heavily-bleeding companions were collapsing within the storm of aftermaths.
她没有回答。咆哮的外神王仍在与星座作战。这些伤亡惨重的同伴在后来的暴风雨中崩溃了。
Han Su-Yeong gritted her teeth. It was fine if Kim Dok-Ja didn't want to say it. The important part was reading his intentions. His intentions of making such a move without letting his companions know of his plans.
韩素妍咬紧牙关。如果KimDok-Ja不想说也没关系。重要的是要了解他的意图。他打算在不让同伴知道他的计划的情况下采取这种行动。
It was to figure out his thought process on choosing to become the Outer God King.
这是为了弄清楚他选择成为外在神王的思想过程。
It was then words began gathering one by one.
就在这时,话语开始一个接一个地聚集起来。
⸢If the Ways of Survival was behind a paywall, just how much have I used it so far?⸥ ⸢If I had ₩20,000,000 in my bank account, what would I feel?⸥ ⸢If there are two rooms, then how does the remaining one get filled up, usually?⸥ "….If I had met you back in the normal world, I would never ever have become your friend."
如果《生存之道》是付费的,那么到目前为止我用了多少呢?如果我的银行账户里有2000万美元,我会有什么感觉?如果有两个房间,那么剩下的一个通常是怎么被填满的呢?”......如果我在正常的世界里遇到你,我永远不会成为你的朋友。”
Those words seemed randomly thrown out like a memo. She still collected those words and sentences, anyway.
这些话就像一个备忘录一样随意地扔掉了,不管怎样,她还是收集了这些词和句子。
An excellent writer had to be an excellent reader first. And Han Su-Yeong knew a way to read such things.
一个优秀的作家首先必须是一个优秀的读者,而韩素英知道一个读这些东西的方法。
⸢How does one go about making money?⸥
一个人如何赚钱
One had to accept that sometimes, you'll run into a sentence you can't comprehend yet and flip the page over. Just so that, one day, you'd able to read that sentence when you did return to the very same page later.
人们不得不承认,有时候,你会碰到一个你还不能理解的句子,然后翻过这一页。只是为了有一天,当你回到同一页时,你能够读到这句话。
[Target is an existence you can't understand!]
[目标是一种你无法理解的存在!]
There was no choice but to desperately flip the pages over and over again, and then some more, to gather as many clues on those impossible sentences.
我别无选择,只能拼命地一遍又一遍地翻动书页,然后再翻几页,从这些不可能的句子中搜集尽可能多的线索。
⸢Doesn't my life have money-making Probability or something?⸥
我的生活不是有赚钱的可能性吗
Tsu-chuchuchu….!
楚楚...!
She saw Jeong Hui-Won kneeling down in the distance. Yi Seol-Hwa ran over and supported her, while Yu Sang-Ah and Yi Hyeon-Seong blocked the weapons flying in her direction.
她看见郑慧媛远远地跪在地上。李世华跑过去支持她,而余尚雅和李贤成挡住了朝她飞来的武器。
[Bureau's Probability is restricting your interference in the scenario!]
[局里的概率限制了你在这种情况下的干涉!]
Kim Dok-Ja was right. Probability was to blame for everything.
金道子说得对,一切都是可能性造成的。
The reason why he was poor, why they ended up in this state.
他之所以贫穷,他们之所以落得如此下场。
[Bureau's Probability is confining your body!]
[联邦调查局的概率是限制你的身体!]
Tsu-chuchuchut!
楚楚!
Probability in this world was basically power. The scenario would flow towards those possessing more plausible Probability.
在这个世界上,概率基本上就是力量,这种情况会流向那些拥有更可信的概率的人。
[Your Nebula has violated far too much Probability.]
[你的星云已经违背了太多的可能性]
Han Su-Yeong knew that. This storm of aftermath was the reward for overcoming many dangerous situations through sheer luck. They had so many companions yet none were lost on their way to the Final Scenario.
韩素英知道这一点。这场灾后风暴是凭借纯粹的运气克服许多危险情况的回报。他们有这么多的同伴,但是没有一个人在他们通往最后情景的路上迷失了方向。
On the other hand, other Incarnations had to sacrifice so much more trying to get this far.
另一方面,为了走到这一步,其他化身不得不牺牲更多。
⸢Why only they…..⸥
为什么只有他们..
⸢This is unfair.⸥
这不公平
⸢Do you know how hard we had to struggle to get this far?⸥ <Kim Dok-Ja Company> had violated far too much Probability. No one was sacrificed when one was needed. Or, more correctly, only one person got continuously sacrificed.
你知道我们费了多大劲才走到这一步吗?金道子公司违反了太多的可能性。需要的时候没有人牺牲。或者,更准确地说,只有一个人被不断地牺牲。
"Kim Dok-Ja."
“金道子。”
He died multiple times and got resurrected again.
他死了好几次,又复活了。
He even revived someone that should've died. While using the revival attribute, or even visiting the Underworld, and going so far as to alter the future.
他甚至救活了一个本该死去的人。当使用复兴属性,或者甚至访问冥界,并且走得很远以至于改变未来。
⸢And that's why Kim Dok-Ja had to become the Enemy of the Story.⸥
这就是为什么金道子必须成为故事的敌人
Because all the Great Fables <Kim Dok-Ja Company> had compiled didn't have enough Probability.
因为金道子公司编造的所有伟大寓言都没有足够的概率。
Han Su-Yeong grasped at the sentences as if she was scratching the wall. It was then a new sentence suddenly floated up.
韩素妍抓住句子,好像在抓墙似的。这时,一个新的句子突然冒了出来。
⸢"For the time being, you take over the Nebula's safe."⸥
“目前,你接管星云的保险箱。”
This was a conversation she had with Kim Dok-Ja not too long ago.
这是不久前她和金道子的一次谈话。
⸢"….What's this? I might end up spending it all, you know?"⸥
“这是什么?我可能会把钱都花光,你知道吗?”
She received the authority to manage the safe via the system. She wondered what possessed Mister Miser Kim Dok-Ja to do this. Back then, she figured that he was simply too lazy to manage the finances and dumped the job on her shoulders, instead.
她获得了通过系统管理保险箱的权力。她不知道吝啬鬼金道子先生为什么要这样做。那时候,她认为他只是懒得理财,于是把这份工作丢给了她。
[Would you like to confirm the current balance?]
您要确认一下当前余额吗
However, would that Kim Dok-Ja really hand over the 'safe' to someone else with that reasoning?
然而,金道子真的会以这种理由把“保险箱”交给别人吗?
As if she had been entranced, Han Su-Yeong opened the safe.
韩素英打开了保险箱,仿佛看到了她的神情。
⸢"Wow, you saved up a lot, haven't you. What a miserly guy you are. What are you planning to do by saving up this much, though?"⸥
“哇,你存了很多钱,不是吗。你真是个吝啬鬼。不过,你存这么多钱打算干什么?”
⸢"They have their uses."⸥
“它们有它们的用处。”
There was a humongous amount of Coins saved up in the safe. More than enough treasure to tempt any star was hidden inside there. And this was the most basic currency of sponsorship, and the power source to move the scenario.
保险箱里存了大量的硬币。里面藏着足够多的宝藏,足以引诱任何星星。这是最基本的赞助货币,也是推动剧情发展的动力来源。
⸢One of the most powerful Fables in this world is [Coins].⸥
世界上最有力的寓言之一是[硬币]
However, there weren't all that many things one could do with Coins now, whether that was reinforcing the Incarnation Bodies or purchasing stuff from the [Dokkaebi Bunble].
然而,现在没有多少事情可以用硬币来做,不管是加固化身身体还是从[DokkaebiBunble]那里购买东西。
That's why she was quite curious. What was the point of so obsessively hoarding all these Coins?
这就是为什么她很好奇,为什么要如此着迷地囤积这些硬币呢?
[Will you spend these Coins for the growth of the 'Great Fable'?]
你会用这些硬币来促进“伟大寓言”的发展吗
And then, Han Su-Yeong finally realised that very reason.
然后韩素妍终于意识到了这个非常的道理。
"I will."
“我会的。”
[Nebula's cache of 143,245,199 Coins will be paid to the Probability!]
[星云储藏的143,245,199枚硬币将按概率支付!]
Ku-gugugugu!
咕咕咕咕!
The moment her declaration came to an end, Fables rushed in like wild predators lusting after fresh meat. Entrancing golden light blanketed the companions.
当她的宣言结束的那一刻,寓言像野生食肉动物一样冲了进来,渴望得到新鲜的肉。金色的迷人光芒笼罩着同伴们。
[Great Fable, 'Demon World's Spring', is greedily gorging on the Coin's Fable!] [Great Fable Torch that Swallowed the Myth's figure is ballooning up!] [Great Fable Season of Light and Darkness's contrast is getting even clearer!]
[伟大的寓言,’魔鬼世界的春天’,贪婪地狼吞虎咽硬币的寓言!][吞噬了神话数字的伟大寓言火炬正在膨胀!][光明与黑暗的伟大寓言季节的对比变得越来越清晰!]
The Great Fables would grow to possess even more power by devouring the available funds. The Fable's details would be realised more faithfully, viscerally, and also more colourfully.
《伟大的寓言》将通过吞噬现有的资金而获得更大的权力。寓言的细节将得到更忠实,发自内心的实现,也更鲜艳。
Ku-gugugugu!
咕咕咕咕!
When the strengths of the Great Fables began resisting the Bureau's Probability, both the Great Dokkaebis and Constellations began panicking.
当伟大寓言的力量开始抵抗联邦调查局的可能性时,伟大的多卡依比斯和星座都开始恐慌。
Jeong Hui-Won's sword grew lighter and lighter, while Yi Hyeon-Seong's shield was getting sturdier and sturdier. Monstrous beasts and insect kings Shin Yu-Seung and Yi Gil-Yeong summoned began tearing into the Constellations in the back.
郑惠元的剑越来越轻,而李贤成的盾牌越来越坚固。被召唤来的怪兽和昆虫国王申玉升和易吉英在后面撕扯着星座。
"Fire!!"
“着火了!”
Yi Ji-Hye's battleship began firing its cannons and the Incarnations in the frontlines dissipated without a trace.
伊吉赫的战舰开始鸣炮,前线的英科拉舰队消失得无影无踪。
Unfortunately, their higher odds of victory lasted only for a brief while.
不幸的是,他们获胜的几率很高,只持续了很短一段时间。
[Bureau's Probability has increased its level of restriction!]
[局里的可能性增加了限制级别!]
The jet-black rifts began spreading in the heavens from the excessive usage of the Probability. The entire stage for the scenario was shaking unsteadily.
由于过度使用概率论,天空中乌黑的裂缝开始扩展。整个舞台都在摇晃。
Fables began leaking out from the mouths of several Great Dokkaebis. They had bet their lives on this must-win battle. In order to create the conclusion they wanted to see, these Dokkaebis personally jumped into the scenario and willingly became the part of the story.
寓言开始从几个伟大的多卡比斯的口中泄露出来。他们把自己的生命押在这场必胜的战斗上。为了创造出他们想看到的结局,这些多卡比斯个人跳进了剧情,自愿成为故事的一部分。
Tsu-chuchuchut!
楚楚!
"Black Flame Dragon!"
“黑火龙!”
Powerful [Black Flame] wrapped around Han Su-Yeong. While filtering away attacks coming in at her, more [Black Flames] were fired out. Right next to her, Jan Ha-Yeong was relying on the Murim's skills to guard her back.
强大的[黑色火焰]包裹着韩素妍。虽然过滤攻击进入她,更多的[黑色火焰]被发射。就在她旁边,JanHa-Yeong依靠着穆林族的技能来保护她的后背。
Why did Kim Dok-Ja entrust her with this role?
为什么金道子委托她担任这个角色?
There was someone better suited for this job, the protagonist of a certain story. However, Kim Dok-Ja still entrusted this job to her.
有一个人更适合这份工作,一个特定故事的主角。然而,金道子还是把这个工作托付给了她。
Su-susususu….
素素素素素素素素素..。
Jang Ha-Yeong's wall was scattering away again. It was going away after exhausting all its powers.
张霞映的城墙又被拆除了,它用尽了所有的力量之后就要消失了。
The Bureau's restrictions made it harder to even breathe.
联邦调查局的限制甚至让人难以呼吸。
Kim Dok-Ja, momentarily within reach, grew distant again. The flow of the story was once more going over to the Great Dokkaebis. Han Su-Yeong cried out.
金道子,一时触手可及,又变得疏远起来。故事的流向再一次传到了伟大的多卡比斯。韩素英喊道。
[Your ■■ is 'Neverending Story'.]
(你的■是“永无止境的故事”。)
A story where none would be lost.
一个没有人会失去的故事。
A story, where everyone would live together in a huge house at the end of all the scenarios.
一个故事,在所有情节的结尾,每个人都住在一个巨大的房子里。
The companions were fighting for that simple dream. However, their Probability wasn't enough and that dream couldn't become reality.
同伴们为了这个简单的梦想而战,但是他们的可能性不够,这个梦想不能变成现实。
[Constellation, 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon', is now looking at his own Incarnation.]
[星座,‘深渊黑焰龙’,现在正在寻找他自己的化身。]
It was right then, a lightbulb flashed brightly in her head.
就在那时,一个灯泡在她的脑海里闪烁着明亮的光。
Not enough Probability?
可能性不够?
⸢The reason why Kim Dok-Ja entrusted this role to Han Su-Yeong and not Yu Jung-Hyeok.⸥ [Constellation, 'Maritime War God', is looking at Incarnation 'Han Su-Yeong'.]
金德子之所以把这个角色托付给韩素英,而不是于正赫,是因为。[星座,‘海上战神’,正在看着化身‘韩素英’]
Drip, drip…
滴滴滴滴滴..。
Blood dripped down from her wounded shoulder. Han Su-Yeong haphazardly wrapped some bandages around the injury and looked up at the sky.
血从她受伤的肩膀上滴下来。韩素英在伤口周围随意地包裹了一些绷带,抬头仰望天空。
There they were, distant stars of <Star Stream>, visible among the storm of sparks raining down. Far, far more Constellations than ever before were watching the last moments of this world.
