“在那个世界里,我本来是个什么样的人?例如,在第0回合或第1回合中......”
"What rubbish are you on about? Why are you asking me that, anyway?"
“你在胡说些什么?你为什么要问我这个问题?”
"For some reason, I can't seem to remember the past all that well."
“由于某种原因,我似乎不能很好地记住过去。”
That was the first time she heard this.
那是她第一次听到这个消息。
"You can't remember?"
“你不记得了?”
"No, it's not that I can't, but they are completely fragmented."
“不,不是我不能,而是它们完全支离破碎。”
"You've regressed for over a thousand times so, yeah, even I would end up like that."
“你倒退了一千多次,所以,是的,即使是我也会落得这样的下场。”
Although she spoke in jest, Han Su-Yeong got an idea as to why Yu Jung-Hyeok's memories were so unclear.
韩素英虽然是开玩笑,但她知道为什么余正赫的记忆如此模糊。
Technically speaking, Yu Jung-Hyeok was the protagonist of a novel called 'Ways of Survival'. Every bit of info related to him came from the author's setting, and those not told by said author were basically 'things that don't exist'.
严格来说,余重赫是一部名为《生存之道》的小说的主角。与他有关的每一点信息都来自作者的背景,而那些没有被作者告知的基本上都是‘不存在的东西’。
The novel 'Ways of Survival' began from Yu Jung-Hyeok's 3rd regression turn. So maybe, he shouldn't be fully recalling anything that happened between his 0th and the 2nd regression turn.
小说《生存之道》是从余重赫的第三次回归转向开始的。所以也许,他不应该完全回忆起第一次和第二次回归之间发生的任何事。
"Is that really important? What you were like back then?"
“这真的很重要吗?你当时是什么样子?”
Whether this was an issue of the setting, or he really did forget…. Regardless of what, the past was past. That might sound like a rather obvious thing to say, but she still wanted to tell him - that the truly important thing wasn't the past but the future about to take place.
不管这是场景的问题,还是他真的忘记了..。不管怎样,过去的已经过去了。这听起来似乎是一个相当明显的事情说,但她仍然想告诉他-真正重要的不是过去,而是将要发生的未来。
However, Yu Jung-Hyeok replied like this first. "It is important to me."
不过,郁重赫先是这样回答的,“这对我很重要。”
He continued to maintain a constant breathing pattern; Han Su-Yeong watched him force his body to its limits without the help of any of his skills and got this feeling that she finally gained clarity on something.
他继续保持着连续不断的呼吸模式,韩素英看着他在没有任何技能帮助的情况下逼迫自己的身体达到极限,觉得自己终于明白了一些事情。
⸢Yu Jung-Hyeok is someone who can clear the 'scenario' the best in this world.⸥
于重赫是一个能够把这个世界上最好的“情景”弄清楚的人
Paradoxically, the Conquering King who could clear the scenarios far better than anyone lost his usefulness after the scenarios ended.
矛盾的是,征服者之王比任何人都能更好地理清场景,但在场景结束后,他就失去了作用。
So, in this world where the scenarios were over, just what had become of Yu Jung-Hyeok?
那么,在这个场景已经结束的世界里,余正赫到底怎么样了呢?
Han Su-Yeong's lips bobbed up and down several times.
韩素英的嘴唇上下动了好几下。
"You probably were Yu Jung-Hyeok even then. Yu Jung-Hyeok who'd become the regressor."
“那时你可能就是余正赫了,余正赫就是那个回归者。”
This was all she could do, returning what he said in the past back to him in full. And in order to change the topic, she quickly followed that up with something else.
这就是她所能做的一切,把他过去说的话完整地还给他。为了改变话题,她很快又提出了一些其他的视角。
"Besides that, I have something to say to you. Maybe you know this already, but this world-line's Kim Dok-Ja is…"
“除此之外,我还有话要对你说。也许你已经知道了,但是这条世界线上的金道子是......”
"He's an Avatar. I already know."
“他是降世神通,我已经知道了。”
So, he did know. Han Su-Yeong was about to make a retort, but clamped her mouth shut, instead.
这么说,他知道了。韩素妍正要反驳,但是她还是闭上了嘴。
Getting this far wasn't the issue. No, now that she was here, her lips didn't want to part all that easily at all.
走到这一步并不是问题所在。不,现在她在这里,她的嘴唇根本不想那么容易地分开。
Was it okay to suggest to this 'Yu Jung-Hyeok' that they should go and rescue Kim Dok-Ja, the one that still remembered the 'Ways of Survival'?
建议这个“YuJung-Hyeok”他们应该去营救KimDok-Ja,那个仍然记得“生存之道”的人,可以吗?
She didn't know the answer to that, and could only swallow back the words circling around on the tip of her tongue.
她不知道这个问题的答案,只能把那些在嘴边绕圈子的话咽回去。
Unexpectedly, it was he who opened his mouth first. "If you want to rescue him, then you need to get to the subway beyond the 'Final Wall'. The problem with that is you can never reach there through the regular methods of crossing the world-lines."
出乎意料的是,是他先开口的。“如果你想救他,那么你需要到‘最后的长城’那边的地铁站去。这样做的问题在于,你永远不可能通过常规的方式跨越世界的界限,到达那里。”
Han Su-Yeong was surprised for a second there, but still managed to reply quickly enough. "….If we open the 'Final Wall' one more time, we can go there. We need to gather the 'fragments' to open the door, though. And looks like we already have one of the fragments."
韩素英有点吃惊,但还是很快地回答了如果我们再打开最后一道墙,我们就可以去那里了。我们需要收集碎片来打开门。看来我们已经找到了其中一个碎片。”
⸢That's what Han Su-Yeong said.⸥
韩素英就是这么说的
Even she could more or less hear [The 4th Wall]'s intermittent messages nowadays. These texts butted in irregularly as if to explain the world - perhaps they were sentences currently being recorded on [The 4th Wall] that this world-line's Kim Dok-Ja possessed.
如今,即使是她也或多或少能听到(第四道墙)断断续续的信息。这些文字不规则地互相碰撞,好像是要解释世界——也许它们是目前被记录在[第四道墙]上的句子,是这条世界线的金道子所拥有的。
"The issue is with the other fragments."
“问题在于其它碎片。”
The 'Wall that Decides Samsara' Yu Sang-Ah used to possess.
余相雅曾经拥有的“轮回之墙”。
The 'Wall that Divides Good and Evil' Jeong Hui-Won and Yi Gil-Yeong used to possess.
郑惠媛和义吉英曾经拥有的“分善恶的墙”。
And finally, the 'Wall of Impossible Communication' Jang Ha-Yeong used to possess.
最后,张夏勇曾经拥有的“不可能交流之墙”。
Those 'walls' were used up while opening the Final Wall. There must've been a way to get them back, but the current Han Su-Yeong couldn't think of one.
这些“墙”是在打开最后一道墙时用完的。一定有办法把他们找回来,但现在的韩素妍想不出办法。
"Han Su-Yeong."
韩素妍
"What now?"
“现在怎么办?”
"This is the third lap."
“这是第三圈了。”
Third lap?
第三圈?
Only after hearing that did she realise that the same exact scenery as earlier was laid out before her eyes. It was the sight she encountered when stepping foot in this district for the first time. They had been running in a massive loop until now.
直到听到这个消息,她才意识到同样的风景就摆在她眼前。这是她第一次踏进这个地区时所看到的景象。他们一直在一个巨大的循环,直到现在。
"What did you see? I was looking at the birds on top of the tower," said Yu Jung-Hyeok. "Those birds always return there during this time of the day."
“你看到了什么?我看着塔顶上的鸟儿。”。“那些鸟总是在每天的这个时候回来。”
"….."
"....."
"And that cafe, it's always full around this time every day."
“还有那家咖啡馆,每天这个时候总是人满为患。”
"You…."
“你......”
"Have you seen the clock tower back in Kaixenix? Faces of different people are engraved into the second, minute, and hour hands. Your face is also there."
“你见过Kaixenix的钟楼吗?不同人的面孔被刻在秒针、分针和时针上。你的脸也在那里。”
Han Su-Yeong followed after Yu Jung-Hyeok's words and turned her head. The world as described by him was indeed right here. Maybe he had been staring at this scenery while looping around many, many times.
韩素英跟着余重赫的话,转过头去。他所描述的世界确实就在这里。也许他一直盯着这个风景,在周围循环了很多很多次。
"Why are you looking at stuff like that, though? Have you finally gone insane?"
“不过,你为什么要看这样的东西?你终于疯了吗?”
Han Su-Yeong felt that him looping alone was truly a pity and could only say that as her reply.
韩素妍觉得他独自一人打环真是可惜,只能这样回答。
That prompted him to say this, however.
然而,这促使他说出这样的话。
"If you run one more time…." Yu Jung-Hyeok had come to a stop even before she had noticed it, and he was now asking her. "If you get a chance to run again, do you believe you can see it better the next time?"
“如果你再跑一次......”在她注意到之前,俞正赫就停下来了,他现在问她。“如果你有机会再次跑步,你相信你下次能看得更清楚吗?”
Han Su-Yeong also came to a halt right there.
韩素英也在那里停了下来。
[Incarnation 'Yu Jung-Hyeok's' Stigma is emitting a faint light.]
化身‘YuJung-Hyeok’的柱头发出微弱的光芒。]
In all honesty, she already knew. From a while ago, she realised what he was trying to say. However, she wanted to pretend that she had no clue, instead.
老实说,她已经知道了。不久前,她意识到他想说什么。然而,她想假装对此一无所知。
Because, she thought that method was not a good one at all.
因为,她认为这个方法一点也不好。
"You…."
“你......”
The way to save Kim Dok-Ja.
拯救金道子的方法。
The way to gather the three disappeared 'fragments' again.
再次收集这三个消失的碎片的方法。
The way that only Yu Jung-Hyeok could resort to.
只有于重赫才能采用的方法。
⸢And that was to return to the world where that 'Wall' still existed. And then, to walk on the hellish landscape once more.⸥ "You wanna solo that crazy thing all over again "
那就是回到那个“长城”仍然存在的世界。然后,再次踏上地狱般的风景。“你还想再唱一遍那个疯狂的东西吗?”
Not even she and Kim Dok-Ja wanted that.
即使是她和金道子也不希望这样。
On top of that, no matter how amazing Yu Jung-Hyeok was, there was no way he could, all by himself…..
最重要的是,不管余正赫有多么了不起,他不可能只靠自己..。
"No, it's impossible alone."
“不,一个人是不可能的。”
His calm, collected declaration caused her eyes to blink.
他冷静而镇定的声明使她的眼睛眨了一下。
"That's why I asked you. What did you see?"
“所以我才问你,你看到了什么?”
The Status of Transcendence was rousing up from Yu Jung-Hyeok's rippling muscles. This transcended form that surpassed Constellations was evolving once more.
超越性的地位正从余正赫的波纹肌肉中被唤醒。这种超越星座的超越形式再次进化。
[Incarnation 'Yu Jung-Hyeok's' Stigma is evolving.]
化身‘YuJung-Hyeok’的耻辱正在形成。]
Han Su-Yeong looked back at the path she had run past and saw the tower's clock hands circling around. She could see the engraving of her own dumb-looking face on the diligently-moving second hand.
韩素妍回头看了看她跑过的那条小路,看到钟的指针在绕圈。她可以看到自己那张呆滞的脸上刻在那只勤奋移动的秒针上。
What would happen if she got to run on that 'time' once more? If so, would she be able to run even better than before?
如果她再次在那个时间跑步会发生什么?如果是这样的话,她能跑得比以前更好吗?
Maybe, she might be able to - if she made a thorough preparation beforehand. And…. if she got to work together with the comrades she lived with in this world, too.
也许,她可以——如果她事先做好充分的准备的话。还有..。如果她也能和这个世界上的同志们一起工作的话。
She looked back, only to discover the regressor that had run on that very distance countless times staring right back at her.
她回头一看,才发现那个在那段距离上跑了无数次的回归者正盯着她。
"I need your help, Han Su-Yeong."
“韩素英,我需要你的帮助。”
[Stigma, 'Regression', has acquired the possibility of 'Group Regression'!]
[耻辱,‘回归’,获得了‘群体回归’的可能性!]
