Yu Jung-Hyeok planted his sword on the ground as he wobbled. His irises were becoming translucent next. His eyes, exhausted from fighting a lengthy battle, were losing their sights.
余重赫摇摇晃晃地把剑插在地上。他的虹膜接着变得半透明。经过长时间的战斗，他的眼睛已经疲惫不堪，失去了视力。
"If I choose you as my Constellation sponsor, will I get to finally meet you?"
“如果我选择你作为我的星座赞助商，我最终能见到你吗?”
[Constellation, 'Demon King of Salvation', is shaking his head.] "Just where are you exactly? All the stars in <Star Stream> have fallen, so from where are you watching over me?" Yu Jung-Hyeok continued to mutter out. "No, wait. I know the truth already. You are… probably beyond that [Wall], aren't you."
[星座，‘救世魔王’，摇着头]”“你到底在哪儿？星流里的星星都掉下来了，你从哪里看我呢?”余正赫继续喃喃自语。“不，等等。我已经知道真相了。你......可能已经越过了那堵墙，对吧?”
I couldn't say anything. I didn't expect the 0th turn's Yu Jung-Hyeok to be able to catch onto that. He continued to speak in the meantime.
我什么也说不出来。我没有想到第0圈的余正赫能够抓住这一点。在这期间，他继续讲话。
"Something felt off to me about this world."
“我觉得这个世界有些不对劲。”
It was my first time hearing such a shrewd tone of voice coming from him.
这是我第一次听到他用这么精明的语气说话。
"One day, I suddenly came into existence in this world."
“有一天，我突然出现在这个世界上。”
A man who came to exist in this world without a warning.
一个毫无预兆地来到这个世界上的人。
"Without any memories of my childhood, I was suddenly cast into this world. I wandered around an illegal work site, and through sheer luck, got spotted by the director, and thus became a pro gamer. But then out of the blue, someone abandoned a child on my doorstep. A child, supposedly my younger sister."
“没有任何童年的记忆，我突然被抛弃在这个世界上。我在一个非法的工作场所闲逛，纯粹靠运气，被导演发现了，因此成为了一个职业玩家。但是突然，有人在我家门口遗弃了一个孩子。一个孩子，可能是我的妹妹。”
A conveniently-crafted life, a series of adversities created solely to become a tragedy later.
一个巧妙安排的生活，一系列的不幸只是为了以后成为悲剧。
"Once, I searched for my parents. However, no matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find them. Even the professionals that could unearth the president's hidden illegitimate child couldn't find my parents. It was as if such things didn't exist in this world, to begin with."
“有一次，我去找我的父母。然而，不管我怎么努力找，我还是找不到他们。即使是能够发现总统隐藏的非婚生子女的专业人士也找不到我的父母。就好像这些东西在这个世界上根本不存在一样。”
[Constellation, 'Demon King of Salvation', is….]
[星座，‘救世魔王’是......]
"So I ask you, 'Demon King of Salvation.' Who am I?"
“所以我问你，‘救恩的魔王’，我是谁?”
My heart was in pain. The fact that Yu Jung-Hyeok had eventually reached that question was endlessly tormenting me.
我的心在痛苦之中。事实上，俞正赫最终到达了那个问题，这无休止地折磨着我。
I needed to say something. Anything…
我需要说点什么任何事..。
"Does the secret of this world lie beyond the wall, where you are?"
“难道这个世界的秘密就在你所在的长城之外吗?”
[Constellation, 'Demon King of Salvation', asks you if you're not happy currently.] "I am happy," he replied without a shred of hesitation. "And that's why I'm even more curious about what lies beyond the wall."
[星座，‘救世魔王’，问你现在是否不快乐。]“我很高兴，”他毫不犹豫地回答。“这就是为什么我对长城之外的东西更加好奇。”
[Constellation, 'Demon King of Salvation', is….]
[星座，‘救世魔王’是......]
"I'm curious about the reason behind all the goodwill you've shown me. I'm also curious about the meaning of my life, where I was born, and why I had to come here. If I had one more chance…."
“我很好奇你对我表现出的善意背后的原因。我也很好奇我生命的意义，我在哪里出生，以及我为什么要来这里。如果我还有一次机会......”
From somewhere, sounds similar to the ticking clock hands could be heard.
在某个地方，可以听到类似于时钟指针滴答作响的声音。
⸢Kim Dok Ja⸥
金道子
I couldn't show Yu Jung-Hyeok what's beyond the [Wall]. Even if I was the 'Most Ancient Dream', that was still impossible.
我不能让余正赫看到长城之外的世界。即使我是最古老的梦想，那也是不可能的。
Yu Jung-Hyeok continued on. "You told me this once upon a time. If I sign the contract with you, you will grant any one wish of mine. Back then, I didn't accept your offer because I was suspicious of you. However, if it's not too late…."
余正赫继续说道。“你曾经告诉过我这个。如果我和你签合同，你就可以满足我的任何一个愿望。当时我没有接受你的提议，因为我怀疑你。不过，如果还不算太晚的话......”
His fingers hovered in the air, searching for a log message that reached him in the distant past.
他的手指在空中盘旋，寻找一条在遥远的过去到达他那里的日志信息。
[Constellation, 'Demon King of Salvation', wishes to become your Constellation sponsor.]
[星座，‘救世魔王’，希望成为您的星座赞助商。]
[Will you accept the offer?]
你会接受这个提议吗
"I shall accept it now."
“我现在就接受。”
Dizziness rushed in and the shaking of my surroundings worsened.
我突然感到头晕目眩，周围的环境更加剧烈地晃动。
I called out to [The 4th Wall].
我向[第四道墙]喊道。
'The 4th Wall.'
第四道长城
⸢Y ou c a n t⸥
你不能
It already knew what I was going to say.
它已经知道我要说什么了。
The prerequisite condition needed for Yu Jung-Hyeok to cross the [Final Wall] was to gather all the 'fragments of the Final Wall'.
俞正赫要越过最后一道墙的先决条件是收集所有的“最后一道墙的碎片”。
However, [The 4th Wall] had no intentions of transferring to Yu Jung-Hyeok.
然而，[第四道长城]并没有转让给余正赫的意图。
I gritted my teeth and sent a message out.
我咬紧牙关发出了一条信息。
[Constellation, 'Demon King of Salvation', says that wish can't be granted.]
[星座，‘救世魔王’，说这个愿望不能实现。]
"Why not?"
“为什么不呢?”
[Constellation, 'Demon King of Salvation', says that it is a truly arduous path, that's why.]
[星座，‘救世魔王’，说这是一条真正艰难的道路，这就是为什么。]
"An arduous path?"
“艰难的道路?”
If I couldn't transfer [The 4th Wall] to him, then there was only one option for him to see the conclusion.
如果我不能把第四道墙移交给他，那么他只有一个选择。
[Constellation 'Demon King of Salvation', says that if you wish to cross the [Wall], you must 'regress' first.]
星座“救世魔王”说，如果你想越过[墙]，你必须首先“倒退”
"Regress?"
“倒退?”
Along with the 'Tsu-chuchuchut!' noise, my entire figure was dyed in the sparks of Probability.
伴随着“劈劈劈劈劈劈”的声音，我的整个身影被可能性的火花染红了。
The world-line was telling me this.
世界电视台告诉我这些。
It was saying that I mustn't inform him of this. It said, this information wasn't something the current Yu Jung-Hyeok should know.
意思是我不能把这件事告诉他。它说，这个信息不是现在的俞正赫应该知道的。
Despite that, I bit down hard on my lip and shook off the world-line's opposition. Even if I had to sacrifice much more Probability, I wanted to show him the truth.
尽管如此，我还是咬紧了嘴唇，摆脱了世界航线的反对。即使我不得不牺牲更多的可能性，我想让他知道真相。
⸢1 8 6 4⸥
1864年
"1864? What's that supposed to mean?"
“1864年?这是什么意思?”
[Constellation, 'Demon King of Salvation', says that is the number of times you must regress before you can witness the conclusion.]
[星座，‘救世魔王’，说这是你必须倒退多少次才能见证结论]
Memories from the life I had lived became a Fable and began unfolding next.
我过去生活的记忆成为了一个寓言，并开始展开下一步。
[Constellation, 'Demon King of Salvation', says that even if you manage to live all those regression turns, the odds of you successfully seeing the conclusion will be extremely low.]
[星座，‘救世魔王’，说即使你设法经历了所有这些回归的转折，你成功看到结局的几率也是非常低的。]
Not only that, the current Yu Jung-Hyeok had broken free from the 'original world-line'.
不仅如此，现在的余正赫已经从“原始世界线”中挣脱出来。
He was no longer Yu Jung-Hyeok from the original novel.
他不再是原著中的余重赫了。
Time-lines had branched off, and the 'future' no longer existed.
时间线已经分叉，“未来”不复存在。
Even if he did reach the 1864th turn, there was no guarantee that he'd meet 'Kim Dok-Ja' in possession of [The 4th Wall]…
即使他真的到了1864年，也不能保证他会在第四道长城上遇到金道子。
⸢Th ere i s⸥
在这里
What?
什么？
⸢Er ase the me mo ries of th is t u r n⸥
他把这件事情的经过告诉了我
Goosebumps broke out all over my skin.
我浑身起鸡皮疙瘩。
⸢What if I give Yu Jung-Hyeok the fragmented memories similar to the 'original' and send him to the next turn?⸥
如果我把类似于“原版”的碎片化记忆交给余正赫，让他进入下一个回合会怎么样
If so, the world-line should think of this Yu Jung-Hyeok as the 'original's Yu Jung-Hyeok'.
如果是这样的话，世界线应该把这个余正赫看作是“原版的余正赫”。
He'd be incorporated back into the original's world-line, and live through the first and the second regression turns without any memories from this life.
他会重新融入原来的世界，经历第一次和第二次回归，没有任何关于今生的记忆。
⸢However, Yu Jung-Hyeok would become miserable once more.⸥ ⸢Why are y ou de ci ding th at?⸥
然而，余荣赫又一次陷入了悲惨的境地，你为什么要这么做呢
I slowly raised my head. Yu Jung-Hyeok was still talking to me.
我慢慢抬起头，余正赫还在和我说话。
"I don't care even if the odds are low."
“即使赔率很低，我也不在乎。”
[Incarnation, 'Yu Jung-Hyeok', has accepted your offer.]
[化身，‘YuJung-Hyeok’，已经接受了你的提议。]
The Fable began its storytelling, and the starlights seemed to extend even further.
寓言》开始了它的故事叙述，星光似乎延伸得更远。
[Your Incarnation is waiting for you to say something.]
[你的道成肉身正等着你说些什么]
I remained silent for a long time. And eventually, I came to a decision.
我沉默了很长一段时间，最终，我做出了一个决定。
I had no choice but to tell him.
我别无选择，只能告诉他。
I slowly regulated my breath and opened my mouth.
我慢慢地调整着呼吸，张开了嘴。
[Yu Jung-Hyeok.]
[余正赫]
Been a while since I spoke in my true voice. An incredible storm of Sparks raged on around me. I tried to suppress the incoming waves as much as possible, yet it was still this bad.
我已经很久没有用真实的声音说话了。一阵难以置信的火花风暴在我周围肆虐。我试着尽可能地抑制来袭的电磁波，但它还是这么糟糕。
Yu Jung-Hyeok opened his eyes wide and looked up at the sky. "Was that your real voice?"
于重赫睁大了眼睛，仰望着天空，“那是你真实的声音吗?”
[That's right.]
没错
"….I can hear it surprisingly well."
“......我听得出奇的清楚。”
Yu Jung-Hyeok, going slowly deaf, muttered softly. A faint crease spread over the old man Yu Jung-Hyeok's expression. I pretended to not see that and spoke.
于重赫慢慢地变成了聋子，轻轻地咕哝着。老人俞正赫的表情上有一道淡淡的皱纹。我假装没看见，说道。
[I can send you back. However, if that happens, I won't be able to help you from the next turn onwards.]
我可以把你送回去。然而，如果这种情况发生，我将不能帮助你从下一个转折点之后。]
The only way to make him reject the offer was to tell him the truth.
让他拒绝这个提议的唯一办法就是告诉他真相。
[You'll have to use nothing but your own powers to break past the scenarios. Those scenarios will be far worse than you can ever imagine, and… And, you might end up encountering something you didn't want to at the conclusion you'd eventually reach.]
你只能用你自己的力量来打破这个局面。这些场景比你想象的要糟糕得多，而且......而且，你最终可能会遇到一些你不想遇到的事情，而你最终会得出结论
I thought back to Yu Jung-Hyeok. I thought back to the sorrows of the 3rd turn, the anguish of the 4th, and the despair of the 'Secretive Plotter'.
我想起了余正赫。我回想起第三个转折的悲伤，第四个转折的痛苦，“秘密策划者”的绝望。
[And if you do choose 'regression', then… You will lose the majority of your memories as you cross over.]
如果你真的选择了“回归”，那么...当你跨越时，你将失去大部分的记忆
Those words caused the soft sounds of Yu Jung-Hyeok sucking in his breath to come out. No matter how resolute his determination might be, this one should be a hard pill to swallow.
这些话引起了余正赫吸气时发出的柔和声音。不管他的决心有多坚定，这个决定都是难以下咽的苦果。
[Only the tiniest fragmented memories from the scenarios will remain in you.]
[只有那些场景中极小的零碎记忆会留在你的脑海里。]
"…."
"...."
[Meaning, everything precious to you will disappear. Yi Seol-Hwa you remember, Yi Hyeon-Seong, Yi Ji-Hye, all of them will….] "Just because I will forget about them, that doesn't mean they'll suddenly stop existing."
意思是，对你来说珍贵的一切都会消失。[李雪花你记得，李贤成，李智慧，他们都会......]“仅仅因为我会忘记他们，并不意味着他们会突然停止存在。”
I shut my mouth then.
我闭上了嘴。
"They definitely continue to live in this world."
“他们肯定会继续生活在这个世界上。”
⸢They definitely continue to live in this world.⸥
他们肯定会继续生活在这个世界上
Like branding a seal, those words slammed into a part of my head and invaded deep inside.
就像烙印一只海豹，这些话猛烈地砸进我脑袋的一部分，侵入我的内心深处。
It felt as if a gigantic hand of fate was pouncing upon me.
我感到好像有一只巨大的命运之手扑向我。
⸢At that moment, Kim Dok-Ja realised that this was the true completion of the 0th turn.⸥
