Han Su-Yeong's dagger accurately brushed past Kim Dok-Ja's shoulder. He reflexively grasped his wound. Of course, she didn't miss that.
韩素英的匕首准确地擦过了金道子的肩膀。他条件反射地抓住了自己的伤口。当然,她没有错过。
⸢An Avatar doesn't bleed.⸥
阿凡达不会流血
After the <Star Stream System> had weakened, even Constellations began to bleed real blood rather than Fables once they were wounded. So, if that Kim Dok-Ja was the real deal, then he should start bleeding right about now.
在星流系统减弱后,即使星座开始流血而不是寓言一旦他们受伤。所以,如果那个金道子是真的,那么他现在应该开始流血了。
"Have you really gone insane?! What the hell are you doing?!"
“你真的疯了吗?!你到底在干什么?!”
"Ahjussi!"
大叔
Shin Yu-Seung freaking out hurriedly approached Kim Dok-Ja. Even Yi Hyeon-Seong and Yi Ji-Hye, too. And, the shoulder covered up by the wobbling Kim Dok-Ja….
申玉升慌慌张张地向金德子走去。甚至连李贤成和李智慧也是。还有,摇摇晃晃的金道子遮住了肩膀..。
⸢If what Han Su-Yeong said was correct, then.⸥
如果韩素英说的是对的,那么
Very slowly, his palm left the wounded shoulder.
慢慢地,他的手掌离开了受伤的肩膀。
"I'm alright. Please don't worry."
“我没事,请不要担心。”
No one knew who sucked in their breaths first. Nevertheless, they all clearly saw it.
没有人知道是谁先吸气的,尽管如此,他们都清楚地看到了。
⸢Blood was flowing. A deeply crimson blood, no less.⸥
血液在流动,还是深红色的血液
Han Su-Yeong too also witnessed it. However….
韩素英也目睹了这一切,但是..。
"….Hold up. It's not over yet! There are Avatars that can bleed, too!"
“...等等,还没结束呢!有些圣灵也会流血的!”
What she said was true, because she too had created such an [Avatar] before.
她说的是真的,因为她以前也创造过这样一个[阿凡达]。
⸢An Avatar injected with lots of memories will bleed.⸥
一个拥有大量记忆的阿凡达将会流血
She spotted Yu Jung-Hyeok in the distance, still chopping his veggies. She felt utterly annoyed by how his lips didn't even bob once as if he couldn't see what's happening on this side.
她看到远处的YuJung-Hyeok还在切蔬菜。他的嘴唇一次也没有动,好像他看不出这边发生了什么似的,这让她感到十分恼火。
Perhaps that was why she ended up saying something she shouldn't have. "We'll know once we cut off his head. An Avatar will still move without a head, after all."
也许这就是为什么她最后说了一些她不该说的话。“一旦我们砍下他的头,我们就知道了。毕竟,阿凡达还是会无头移动的。”
"What did you just say ?"
“你刚才说什么 ?”
Only after she saw Jeong Hui-Won's expression hardening to a frightening degree did she realise her own mistake. The aura of [Hellfire] danced on the [Judge's Sword]. That was Uriel's Stigma, never been activated once ever since the scenarios came to an end.
直到看到郑慧媛的表情变得可怕,她才意识到自己的错误。地狱之火的光环在法官之剑上舞动。这就是乌列的耻辱,自从剧情结束以来,从未被激活过。
Jeong Hui-Won spoke in an angry voice. "If you try something like that, it'll be your head flying off, instead."
郑慧媛生气地说:“你要是敢这么做,我就把你的脑袋轰掉。”
Han Su-Yeong stared at the [Judge's Sword] pointing at her and slowly raised the aura of the [Black Flame] as well. She knew the situation was gradually reaching the point of no return, yet she still couldn't stop herself.
韩素英凝视着指向她的“法官之剑”,慢慢地升起了“黑焰”的光环。她知道情况已经到了无法挽回的地步,但她还是无法控制自己。
Yi Seol-Hwa's voice trying to dissuade them was heard next. And when Han Su-Yeong saw the expressions of both Shin Yu-Seung and Yi Gil-Yeong busy baring their animosity towards her, something inside her snapped.
接下来,李世华试图劝阻他们的声音被听到了。当韩素英看到申玉升和李吉英两人的表情时,她内心的某种东西突然爆发了。
⸢Maybe, it was a miracle for them to come this far together.⸥
也许,他们能走到这一步已经是一个奇迹了
She was acutely aware of her not fitting in with these people. She used to be the 'king of prophets' once upon a time, and was referred to as the 'false king', too. She was nothing more than a villain in the epic tale Kim Dok-Ja had created.
她敏锐地意识到自己与这些人格格不入。她曾经是“先知之王”,也被称为“假王”。她只不过是金道子创造的史诗故事中的一个反派。
Eating pizza and drinking Cola with everyone by the Han River? From the get-go, all of that was a conclusion ill-suited to Han Su-Yeong.
和大家一起在汉江边吃披萨喝可乐?从一开始,这一切都是韩素英不适合的结论。
Ku-gugugugu!
咕咕咕咕!
The tense stand-off generated by the two opposing flames continued on, only for a clear, innocent-sounding voice to break the flow.
两团对立的火焰引起的紧张对峙仍在继续,只有一个清晰、天真的声音打断了对峙。
"What are you all doing? I brought beer." Jang Ha-Yeong holding plastic bags on both of her hands was standing there. "Wait, are you doing one of those hidden camera things because I showed up late?"
“你们都在干什么?我带了啤酒。”张霞琼双手拿着塑料袋站在那里。“等等,你是不是因为我迟到了,所以你就偷偷拍我了?”
That voice filled with anxiety managed to wake the companions up. As if they finally recalled the reason why they were here in the first place.
那个充满焦虑的声音终于把同伴们吵醒了。仿佛他们终于想起了当初来这里的原因。
And the man who hadn't said a single word until now also decided to say something as well. "Why don't you all give it a rest?"
直到现在一句话也没说的那个男人也决定说点什么。“你们为什么不休息一下呢?”
The Status of a Transcender scattered brilliantly from the [Dark Heavenly Demon Sword] stabbed into the cutting board. And the murderous aura dominating over the park washed away in an instant.
超人的身份从插在砧板上的暗天魔剑散发出光芒。主宰公园的凶残气氛瞬间烟消云散。
"It's dinner time."
“现在是晚餐时间。”
The delicious aroma wafting in stimulated everyone's hunger, instead. Seven pizzas plus fried chicken were perfectly set up on top of the plates.
飘进来的香味反而刺激了每个人的饥饿感。七个披萨外加炸鸡放在盘子上,非常完美。
Yi Ji-Hye sighed after witnessing that spectacle. "Master is seriously…."
易智慧看到这个场面后叹了口气,“师父真是......”
The rest of the group saw the uber-serious look in Yu Jung-Hyeok's face and exchanged glances with each other, not knowing how to respond.
其他人都看到了YuJung-Hyeok脸上极其严肃的表情,互相交换了眼神,不知道该如何回应。
Jang Ha-Yeong was the first one to dash towards the food, however. "What are you all doing? Aren't you gonna come?"
然而,张夏勇(JangHa-Yeong,音译)是第一个冲向食物的人。“你们都在干什么?你不来吗?”
Gong Pil-Du chuckled helplessly after seeing that.
公弼度看了笑了,无可奈何。
The atmosphere relaxed just a little, prompting Kim Dok-Ja to say something. "I'm fine. I also get why Su-Yeong-ee is getting suspicious, too. Honestly speaking, I know I've become strangely forgetful recently. It often feels like important parts of my memories have disappeared wholesale…."
气氛稍微放松了一点,促使金道子说了些什么。“我很好。我也明白为什么素妍也开始怀疑了。老实说,我知道我最近变得很奇怪地健忘。我常常感觉,我记忆中重要的部分已经全部消失了......”
"Dok-Ja-ssi, this isn't something you can gloss over like tha….!"
“Dok-Ja-ssi,这不是你可以像那样掩饰的东西......!”
"Let's eat first and discuss it later. I mean, it's not every day we get Yu Jung-Hyeok to cook for someone, after all."
“我们先吃饭,然后再讨论。我的意思是,毕竟,我们不是每天都能请YuJung-Hyeok为某人做饭的。”
Jeong Hui-Won frowned, but spat out a sigh nonetheless. The companions found their spots on the mat and settled down one by one. However, one person wasn't here.
郑慧媛皱起了眉头,但还是吐出一声叹息。同伴们在垫子上找到了自己的位置,一个一个地坐了下来。然而,有一个人不在这里。
In the end, Jeong Hui-Won exploded in anger. "Really, this is…."
最后,郑慧媛怒不可遏。“真的,这真是......”
Han Su-Yeong couldn't be seen anywhere.
到处都找不到韩素英。
*
The faint sounds of fireworks going off came from the distance. Han Su-Yeong stared at the cold water rushing out of the tap inside the bathroom and bit down hard on her lip.
远处传来微弱的烟花爆竹声。韩素妍盯着浴室里水龙头里冲出来的冷水,狠狠地咬了咬嘴唇。
'I made a mistake.'
我犯了个错误
It wasn't like her. She couldn't figure out why she got agitated to such a degree. A thought of calming herself down and returning to explain popped up in her head, but she just didn't know from where she should start her explanation to make them accept it.
这不像她的作风。她不明白自己为什么如此激动。她脑子里突然冒出一个想让自己平静下来,回过头去解释的想法,但是她只是不知道从哪里开始她的解释,让他们接受这个解释。
⸢From the get-go, was it appropriate to call an Avatar that shared the memories a 'fake'?⸥
从一开始,称分享这些记忆的阿凡达为“假的”合适吗
The sound of vibration came from her pocket.
她的口袋里传出了震动的声音。
Su-Yeong-ssi.It was a message from Yu Sang-Ah. Han Su-Yeong pocketed the phone again. But the device vibrated once more.
苏映思。是余相雅的留言。韩苏映又把电话装进了口袋。但是装置又震动了一次。
Han Su-Yeot ○."Gimme a break."
韩苏耀○。“给我一个休息。”
ㅎㅎ That's a typo.Just as she was about to send a reply, she sensed a presence behind her.
那是一个打字错误。正当她准备发回一封回信时,她感觉到有人在她身后。
"Please stop sulking and let's go back."
“请别生气了,我们回去吧。”
Long, pale fingers held and gripped her shoulder tightly. Han Su-Yeong slapped that hand away and looked behind her. "Forget it. I'll only sour the mood by showing up, anyway."
长长的苍白的手指紧紧地抓住她的肩膀。韩素妍把那只手甩开,回头看了看。“算了吧。不管怎样,我出现只会破坏气氛。”
"That's not true. Everyone will understand."
“不是这样的,每个人都会理解的。”
"I said, forget…."
“我说,忘了吧......”
"Do you want me to respond like this, then?"
“那么,你希望我这样回答吗?”
Yu Sang-Ah's gaze slowly transformed. Han Su-Yeong frowned deeply.
余相娥的目光慢慢地变了,韩素英皱起了眉头。
Through the open doorway, she could see the figures of the companions in the distance. And as she watched how Yu Sang-Ah stood there as if to protect that scene, a strange gut feeling suddenly brushed past her brain.
透过敞开的门口,她可以看到远处同伴们的身影。当她看着余相娥站在那里,仿佛要保护那一幕时,一种奇怪的直觉突然掠过她的脑际。
"You…."
“你......”
Yu Sang-Ah's expression back then, not even trying all that hard to stop her. Maybe, she…..
余相娥那时的表情,甚至都没有试图去阻止她,也许,她..。
"Once upon a time, Dok-Ja-ssi asked me this. If the cause of this world was the 'Most Ancient Dream', then what would happen to the world if that guy was eliminated?" Yu Sang-Ah asked.
“很久以前,Dok-Ja-ssi问我这个问题。如果造成这个世界的原因是‘最古老的梦想’,那么如果这个家伙被消灭了,这个世界会发生什么?”余相娥问道。
"What?"
“什么?”
"What will happen to a world that no one looks at?"
“一个没有人关注的世界将会发生什么?”
Han Su-Yeong grabbed Yu Sang-Ah's collars and shoved her against the wall.
韩素英抓住余相娥的衣领,把她推到墙边。
"You… Spit out everything you know, now."
“你...把你知道的都说出来,现在。”
Han Su-Yeong looked into the still-calm eyes of Yu Sang-Ah and the truth gradually dawned on her.
韩素妍看着余桑娥那双平静的眼睛,渐渐明白了事情的真相。
⸢There was a time when Yu Sang-Ah acted as a librarian of the [The 4th Wall].⸥
曾经有一段时间,俞相娥担任四面墙的图书管理员
She was the only one among the companions to actually enter inside Kim Dok-Ja. What exactly did she see inside that library filled with countless books?
她是同伴中唯一一个真正进入金道子体内的人。她究竟在那个藏满无数书籍的图书馆里看到了什么?
"Spit it out! You saw something in there! That idiot, just what was he thinking about?!"
“吐出来!你看到里面有东西!那个白痴,他到底在想什么?!”
"…."
"...."
"Why didn't you try to stop me? Why, when the situation was getting….!"
“你为什么不试着阻止我?为什么,当情况变得......!”
"Because, I don't have the right to do so."
“因为,我没有这样做的权利。”
For the first time ever, Han Su-Yeong's mouth was shut tight after she heard Yu Sang-Ah's reply.
韩素英听了余相娥的回答,第一次闭上了嘴。
"….Protecting the world by dividing himself in half. One becomes the 'reader' watching over the world, while the other becomes its 'character'."
”...通过把自己一分为二来保护世界。一个成为观察世界的‘读者’,而另一个成为它的‘特征’。”
Han Su-Yeong also knew.
韩素妍也知道。
She knew that maybe, that 'Kim Dok-Ja' bled because of that very reason.
她知道也许,‘金道子’流血就是因为这个原因。
She knew that, on that day when everyone was freed from the scenario, maybe the other side of Kim Dok-Ja was still riding on the subway - on that day, when she looked back, and Yu Jung-Hyeok also looked back. Maybe, Kim Dok-Ja remaining inside the train was still watching them.
她知道,那天当大家都从这个场景中解脱出来的时候,也许金道子的另一边还在地铁上,那天她回头看的时候,余正赫也回头看了。也许,留在车厢里的金道子还在看着他们。
"If that was the choice of a man who knew this world better than anyone, then…."
“如果这是一个比任何人都更了解这个世界的人的选择,那么......”
"How can you even say that?"
“你怎么能这么说呢?”
The pair of trembling hands were tightening around Yu Sang-Ah's collars even further. But she lightly raised her own hand and grabbed hold of those shaking hands belonging to her captor.
那双颤抖的手更紧紧地环绕着余相娥的衣领。但是她轻轻地举起了自己的手,抓住了绑架者颤抖的手。
"This is the choice of a person called myself."
“这是一个叫我自己的人的选择。”
"You, Kim Dok-Ja, you're all the same."
“你,金道子,你们都一样。”
"Su-Yeong-ah. Do you really believe that other companions don't know what's going on?"
“素妍雅,你真以为别的同伴不知道发生了什么事吗?”
Han Su-Yeong felt like she got punched in the head.
韩素英觉得自己的头好像挨了一拳。
"Dok-Ja-ssi who doesn't talk about the Ways of Survival anymore… Do you really think others don't find that strange? Really?"
“不再谈论生存之道的Dok-Ja-ssi...你真的认为其他人不觉得奇怪吗?真的吗?”
"I-in that case…."
”那样的话...”
"Most of the memories we share together, 'Kim Dok-Ja-ssi' over there has it."
“我们共同拥有的大部分记忆,都在那边的‘KimDok-Ja-ssi’那里。”
The companions sitting on the mat and chatting away could be seen. Figures of Jeong Hui-Won smiling brightly, while Yi Hyeon-Seong was pouring beer; drunk Gong Pil-Du was singing, while Yi Seol-Hwa was clapping her hands. Jang Ha-Yeong stood up from her spot and noisily yapped on with an exaggerated voice.
可以看到同伴们坐在垫子上聊天。郑慧媛面带微笑,李贤成倒着啤酒,醉汉宫弼渡唱着歌,李雪华拍着手。张霞映站起身来,用夸张的声音大声地打着手势。
So, like, back in the Demon World…The 'Kim Dok-Ja' they remembered was different from people to people.
所以,就像,回到恶魔世界......他们记忆中的“金道子”因人而异。
If Kim Dok-Ja was a 'reader' to Han Su-Yeong, then to Shin Yu-Seung and Yi Gil-Yeong, he was the 'parent'. To Yi Hyeon-Seong, he was the 'spent cartridge', and to Yu Sang-Ah, the 'work colleague'. To Yi Ji-Hye, Jeong Hui-Won, Jang Ha-Yeong, and also to Yi Seol-Hwa as well as Gong Pil-Du… "That person is also Dok-Ja-ssi. Doesn't matter how much percentage he is made out of, there's no doubt that he is Dok-Ja-ssi. Dok-Ja-ssi who journeyed together with us."
如果金德子是韩素英的“读者”,然后是申玉升和李吉英,那么他就是“父母”。对于李贤成来说,他是“废弹匣”,而对于于相雅来说,他是“工作伙伴”。致李智慧、郑慧媛、张夏勇,以及李世华和龚必都......”。不管他有多少百分比,毫无疑问,他是Dok-Ja-ssi。和我们一起旅行的Dok-Ja-ssi
The festive fireworks were still going off in the distance. The children's eyes sparkled under the light. It felt as if the history they had to live through was fading away. Han Su-Yeong dazedly stared at that view, at the smiling face of Kim Dok-Ja among the companions.
节日的烟火还在远处燃放。孩子们的眼睛在灯光下闪闪发光。他们感到他们经历的历史似乎正在消逝。韩素英茫然地凝视着同伴们中间金德子的笑脸。
Without a doubt, that was the scene he had been wishing for.
毫无疑问,这就是他一直希望看到的场面。
⸢This was where the story of <Kim Dok-Ja Company> came to an end.⸥
这就是金道子公司的故事结束的地方
Yu Sang-Ah was right.
余相娥说得对。
Kim Dok-Ja made his choice, and the companions chose to accept his decision. They had been hurt far too many times, and none of them wanted to be hurt anymore.
金道子做出了自己的选择,同伴们也接受了他的决定。他们已经受了太多的伤害,没有人愿意再受到伤害。
And so, this was their conclusion.
这就是他们的结论。
Yu Sang-Ah asked her. "Is there any meaning in deciphering which one is really him?"
