无所不知的读者观。
Han Su-Yeong narrowed her eyes after seeing that phrase. "….Isn't that the name of Kim Dok-Ja's skill?"
韩素妍看到这句话，眯起眼睛说:“......这不是金道子的本事吗?”
Why would such a thing be engraved in the gap between the world-lines?
为什么这样的东西会被刻在世界线之间的缝隙里？
The words continued on.
话还没说完。
⸢This was inevitable, I thought. And the reason why I accepted mother's actions also had to be this, as well.⸥ ⸢The reason why I inexplicably started writing an essay…⸥ ⸢The reason why I had to become a son of a murderer…⸥
这是不可避免的，我想。我之所以接受母亲的行为，也是因为这一点。我莫名其妙地开始写一篇文章的原因...我不得不成为一个杀人犯的儿子的原因..。
These words were moving towards a certain direction at a constant speed. These sentences were fluently stretching from the past towards the future. It was then, Han Su-Yeong came to realise something.
这些词以恒定的速度朝某个方向移动。这些句子顺利地从过去延伸到未来。就在这时候，韩素妍突然意识到了一些事情。
The 'regression' was an act of branching out to a new world-line from a 'certain point onwards' while going backwards in the current world-line.
“回归”是一种从“某一点向前”向一条新的世界线扩展的行为，同时在当前的世界线上向后延伸。
So, what would happen if they get stuck in this type of gap while going back in the world-line? If that's what really happened, then this point in time where such sentences could be read must be…
那么，如果他们在回到世界线时陷入这种缺口会发生什么呢？如果这是真的，那么这个时间点，这样的句子可以阅读必须是..。
"Hey, Yu Jung-Hyeok! This…!"
“嘿，余正赫!这个......!”
When she looked back, she realised that Yu Jung-Hyeok too was looking at 'something else'.
当她回头看的时候，她意识到YuJung-Hyeok也在看“其他的东西”。
Boom, ka-booom-!
砰，咔-噗-！
The snowfield rumbled.
雪原隆隆作响。
Someone was pounding on the gap of the world-lines they were stuck in.
有人在敲打他们被困在的世界线的缝隙。
⸢"Spit her out! I said, spit her out, now!!"⸥
“把她吐出来!我说，把她吐出来，马上!”
⸢Kim Dok-Ja was crying.⸥
金道子在哭
This situation, could it be….?
这种情况会不会是...？
⸢I began crazily pounding on the wall.⸥ ⸢I was overcome with goosebumps. To think that everything would become stories. To think, every action we took and every word we spoke would become scenarios and morph into sentences above the wall.⸥ ⸢"Shut up! This is how I feel!"⸥
我开始疯狂地敲打墙壁。我浑身起鸡皮疙瘩。想象一切都会变成故事。想想看，我们采取的每一个行动，说的每一句话都会变成情景，变成墙上的句子。“闭嘴！这就是我的感受!”
She couldn't see his face. But, Han Su-Yeong could tell just by reading these sentences. Kim Dok-Ja was responsible for these words - Kim Dok-Ja was fighting somewhere, within the past of the 3rd turn of the 'Ways of Survival'.
她看不见他的脸。但是，韩素英只要读一下这些句子就能知道。KimDok-Ja负责说这些话——KimDok-Ja在过去的“生存之道”第三轮中的某个地方战斗。
⸢Kim Dok-Ja wanted to know. What should he do? What should he do to break this wall down? Could this be the price for reading the 'Ways of Survival'? Did my own reality become a novel because I read that novel?⸥
金道子想知道。他该怎么办？他该怎么做才能把这堵墙拆掉呢？这会是阅读《生存之道》的代价吗？是不是因为我读了那本小说，我自己的现实就变成了小说？
When Han Su-Yeong read those sentences, she became sure of it.
当韩素妍读到这些句子的时候，她确信了这一点。
"This is back then during the [Dark Castle]," said Han Su-Yeong.
韩素英(HanSu-Yeong，音译)说:“这是在(黑暗城堡)时期拍的。”。
"…..The Dark Castle?"
“黑暗城堡?”
"This event happened right after Kim Dok-Ja fought against the 'Devourer of the Dream'. He told me about it some time ago. He got trapped inside his own skill, and…."
“这件事发生在金道子与‘梦想的吞噬者’战斗之后。他不久前告诉我的。他陷入了自己的技能之中，而且......”
Just before they reached the final scenario, Han Su-Yeong got a chance to talk to Kim Dok-Ja for the entire night. It was to discuss their plan moving forward, but also to talk about the matters of the past, as well. They thought that some stuff they didn't manage to resolve could potentially serve as clues for the future.
就在他们进入最后一幕的时候，韩素妍有机会和金德子聊了一整晚。这是为了讨论他们的计划向前推进，也是为了谈论过去的事情。他们认为一些他们没有解决的问题可能会成为未来的线索。
- Now that I think about it, something did feel off back then. Someone called out to me, but… If it weren't for that voice, I might have ended up in some serious trouble in that place.
现在我想起来了，当时确实有些不对劲。有人喊我，但是......如果不是因为那个声音，我可能会在那个地方陷入严重的麻烦。
"Hey, Kim Dok-Ja!!"
“嘿，金道子!”
"Han Su-Yeong, stop wasting your time. This is nothing more than recorded history."
“韩素英，别浪费时间了，这不过是历史的记载。”
The 'gap' must exist as a gap. Only then would the rest exist not as gaps.
“差距”必须以差距的形式存在，只有这样，其余的差距才不会以差距的形式存在。
However, the fact that sentences could be found in a place like this, didn't that mean there were still stories they haven't read yet?
然而，在这样的地方可以找到句子，难道不意味着还有他们没有读过的故事吗？
Han Su-Yeong reached out towards the huge letters again. The pitch-black particles stained her hand this time as well.
韩素妍又伸手去拿那些大字，这次手上也沾上了漆黑的颗粒。
But, they weren't the graphite particles. No, they were very small and really fine black particles made out of ones and zeroes.
但是，它们不是石墨颗粒。不，它们是由1和0组成的非常小和非常细小的黑色颗粒。
Han Su-Yeong gripped the word even harder than before.
韩素英比以前更紧地抓住了这个词。
If this was the recorded story, then couldn't it be possible to change the records, somehow?
如果这就是录下来的故事，那么不管怎样，改变记录是不是可能的呢？
[A new Fable of Incarnation, 'Han Su-Yeong', is waking up!]
[一个新的道成肉身的寓言，‘韩素英’正在苏醒!]
Tsu-chuchuchuchut!
楚楚楚！
An incredible shower of sparks exploded and began attacking her whole body. It was as if every sentence existing in the world was glaring at her.
一阵令人难以置信的火花爆炸并开始攻击她的整个身体。仿佛世界上的每一句话都在瞪着她。
Yu Jung-Hyeok cried out. "You fool… Now isn't the….!"
于正赫喊道:“你这个傻瓜......现在不是......!”
[Fable, 'Revision Specialist', has begun its storytelling!]
[寓言《修订专家》已经开始讲故事了!]
Tsu-chuchuchuchut!
楚楚楚！
"Hey! Wake the hell up!"
“嘿!给我醒醒!”
When she gripped the sentence, the life contained within it was transmitted to her. It was Kim Dok-Ja's life. His life, lived for the purpose of writing this sentence on the [Final Wall].
当她抓住这句话的时候，里面所蕴含的生命力传递给了她。这就是金道子的生活。他的一生，就是为了把这句话写在[最后的墙上]而活着。
Han Su-Yeong shouted at Kim Dok-Ja currently wrestling against [The 4th Wall]. "This is your skill! Don't get swallowed up by your own skill!"
韩素英冲着正在摔跤的金德子喊道。“这就是你的本事！不要被自己的技能所吞噬!”
As if she was trying to revise the recorded sentence, she grabbed onto the entirety of that sentence and shook it, hard. Maybe she was wrong on this one. Kim Dok-Ja might be able to get through this danger all by himself, and her voice might never reach him.
仿佛她在试图修改录音中的句子，她抓住句子的全部，使劲摇晃。也许她这次错了。金道子或许可以独自度过这个危险，但她的声音可能永远无法传到他的耳朵里。
Even then, Han Su-Yeong still left behind her own sentence on top of the [Wall].
即便如此，韩素妍还是把自己的句子留在了[长城]上。
Tsu-chuchuchuchut!
楚楚楚！
Because, maybe, just maybe, someone beyond the wall might get to hear her.
因为，也许，只是也许，长城之外的人会听到她的声音。
"Han Su-Yeong, the regression is starting again!"
韩素妍，回归又开始了
"Shut up! Hey, you too! Hurry up and say something!"
“闭嘴!嘿，你也是!快说点什么!”
Han Su-Yeong's and Yu Jung-Hyeok's figures began scattering away again under the bright rays of light. Before completely disappearing, though, the frowning Yu Jung-Hyeok did say something.
韩素英和余重赫的画像又开始在明亮的光线下散开了。然而，在完全消失之前，皱着眉头的俞正赫确实说了些什么。
"Cancel your skill, Kim Dok-Ja."
“取消你的技能，金道子。”
*
Yu Sang-Ah blinked her eyes in a daze.
于相娥眼花缭乱地眨了眨眼睛。
Faint rays of light were surrounding her. A monitor in front seemed to sway unsteadily. It currently displayed the personnel records she was browsing just now.
微弱的光线环绕着她。前面的一个显示器似乎摇晃不定。它当前显示的是她刚才浏览的人事记录。
"…Ah."
“啊。”
It didn't feel real to her. She blinked again, and felt the sensations picked up by her weak, frail body. This was the body of an Incarnation, unfettered by the 'blessings' of the system that also had lost the powers of skills and Stigmata. These were the sensations of a human being.
这对她来说感觉不真实。她再次眨了眨眼睛，感觉到自己虚弱、脆弱的身体感受到了这种感觉。这是一个化身的身体，不受系统的祝福约束，也失去了技能和圣痕的力量。这些是一个人的感觉。
She really did come back.
她真的回来了。
The things she needed to do popped up in her head one by one. First, confirm the starting point of her regression. Attempt communication with the other companions through the emergency contact lines. And then….
她需要做的事情一件一件地出现在她的脑海里。首先，确定她回归的起点。尝试通过紧急联络线与其他同伴联系。然后..。
She suddenly shot up from her seat, causing many gazes to land on her next. She recalled old, familiar names one by one. Such as, deputy Kim Min-Woo, the section chief Jang Eun-Yeong, and… "Hahah, so what do you think about the HR team? Sang-Ah-ssi, do you like it here?"
她突然从座位上一跃而起，许多人的目光都落在了她身上。她一个接一个地回忆起那些熟悉的老名字。比如，金珉宇副部长，张恩英科长，还有......“哈哈，你觉得人力资源团队怎么样？桑阿西，你喜欢这里吗?”
The man walking towards her with a bit of an attitude as if to pick a fight with her - that was the executive director Kang Yeong-Hyeon. And the person subserviently following after him… the head of the finance department, Han Myeong-Oh. The latter, cautiously reading the atmosphere until then, smiled sheepishly in her direction. He was not the 'Han Myeong-Oh' she grew to know for the past four years. The one she knew didn't cross over to this regression turn, after all.
那个男人朝她走过来，态度有点像要和她打架——那是执行董事姜永铉。而在他之后唯唯诺诺的人...是财务部部长韩明勋。后者在此之前一直小心翼翼地观察着周围的气氛，朝她的方向腼腆地笑了笑。他不是过去四年里她认识的“韩明吴”。毕竟，她认识的那个人并没有跨越到这个回归的转折点。
"Yu Sang-Ah-ssi, the sale you made this time was truly commen…."
“于桑阿斯，你这次的交易真的很成功......”
Without saying a word, she began running. She brushed past the executive director Kang and rushed into the corridor. Suddenly, her sense of reality seemed to be blurring.
她一言不发，开始跑起来。她从康执行董事身边擦身而过，冲进走廊。突然，她对现实的感觉似乎模糊了。
Did she really, truly succeed in regressing?
她真的，真的成功地倒退了吗？
The view of the world that used to be so familiar went past her.
过去那种熟悉的世界观已经从她眼前消失了。
She used to come to work here at the fixed time every morning, and went home at the designated hour, too.
她过去每天早上都在固定的时间来这里上班，也在固定的时间回家。
That was the ruleset of this world, and she diligently stuck to it.
这就是这个世界的规则，她坚持不懈地遵守着。
"Hey, look here! Yu Sang-Ah-ssi!"
“嘿，看这儿!余桑阿斯!”
Her employee ID card was exactly the same, too. There was a time in her past life when she struggled so hard to have this around her neck. As if this little thing could act as the proof of her true worth.
她的工作证也是一样的。在她过去的生活中，有一段时间她非常努力地把这个挂在脖子上。仿佛这个小东西可以作为她真正价值的证明。
When she arrived at the QA team's offices, utterly out of breath, several employees began recognising her.
当她来到质量保证团队的办公室时，几个员工都上气不接下气地认出了她。
"Uh? Yu Sang-Ah-ssi?"
“嗯?余桑雅斯?”
Her smartphone hidden in the pocket continuously cried out - incoming messages criticising her sudden, abrupt departure. And then, loud yells ringing out from behind her.
她的智能手机藏在口袋里，不停地喊出来——收到的短信批评她的突然、突然离开。然后，她身后传来响亮的喊叫声。
Yu Sang-Ah approached a certain partition, one step at a time.
于相雅一步一步地走近一个隔断。
⸢The person she remembered, he was there.⸥
她记得的那个人，他就在那里
A man wearing a headphone and looking up at her.
一个戴着耳机的男人抬头看着她。
The spare battery always being charged in the corner of the partition.
备用电池总是在隔墙的一角充电。
That was where the 'Kim Dok-Ja' she remembered was.
那就是她记忆中的“KimDok-Ja”。
Kim Dok-Ja, before the scenarios went underway.
KimDok-Ja，在事态发展之前。
Without realising it, she reached out and grasped both of his cheeks.
她没有意识到，伸手抓住了他的两颊。
"Uht…. "
“ Uht... ? ? ”
Kim Dok-Ja's eyes were opened really wide. Surrounding people, startled by her sudden actions, began murmuring to themselves. However, the words she was currently listening to didn't come from them.
金道子的眼睛睁得很大。周围的人被她的突然举动吓了一跳，开始自言自语起来。然而，她现在听到的话并不是来自他们。
⸢"Yu Sang-Ah, why are you so cold-hearted? Just like how this 'Kim Dok-Ja' is Kim Dok-Ja, 'Kim Dok-Ja left behind in that place' is also Kim Dok-Ja, you know. You are…"⸥
“余相娥，你为什么这么冷酷？就像这个“金道子”是金道子，“金道子留在那个地方”也是金道子，你知道。你是......”
Han Su-Yeong's words were filling up the inside of her head.
韩素英的话充满了她的脑海。
Why did she respond so coldly back then?
那时她为什么反应那么冷淡？
"Dok-Ja-ssi."
“ Dok-Ja-ssi。”
She now knew, though. Looking at this Kim Dok-Ja's dumbfounded face, how could she not?
不过，她现在知道了。看着这个金道子目瞪口呆的脸，她怎么能不知道呢？
⸢"Su-Yeong-ah. I too have memories that I treasure."⸥
“素妍雅，我也有珍贵的回忆。”
She was not an 'author' like Han Su-Yeong, nor was she the 'protagonist' like Yu Jung-Hyeok.
她不像韩素英那样是个“作家”，也不像于重赫那样是个“主角”。
No, she was Yu Sang-Ah. Yu Sang-Ah, who was Kim Dok-Ja's colleague and also his friend.
不，她是于相雅，于相雅，金道子的同事，也是他的朋友。
For no reason whatsoever, tears welled up to obscure her vision, but she still managed to smile brightly.
没有任何原因，眼泪涌了出来，模糊了她的视线，但她仍然设法灿烂地笑了。
⸢She returned here in order to protect this Kim Dok-Ja.⸥
她回到这里是为了保护这个金道子
Kim Dok-Ja's lips bobbed up and down. His murky eyes began to gain a semblance of light little by little as if he had finally recognised her. And when she witnessed the faint hints of sparks dancing within those eyes, Yu Sang-Ah opened her mouth.
金道子的嘴唇上下起伏。他那双朦胧的眼睛开始渐渐地露出一丝光亮，仿佛他终于认出了她。当她看到那双眼睛里闪烁着微弱的火花时，于相娥张开了嘴。
"Let's go and find the story you've forgotten about."
“我们去找那个你已经忘记的故事吧。”
*
Yu Sang-Ah led Kim Dok-Ja and immediately left the company building. Just to make sure, she didn't forget to shout at other people too, as they dashed through the corridors.
于相雅带领金道子立即离开了公司大楼。为了确保万无一失，当其他人穿过走廊时，她也没有忘记对他们大喊大叫。
"It's not too late now, so please leave the office and try to catch a grasshopper, at the very least!"
“现在还不晚，所以请离开办公室，至少抓一只蚱蜢吧!”
The duo reached the Gwanghwamun Station, and the very first one to arrive there, Jeong Hui-Won, greeted them. She stood under the undamaged statues of King Sejong and Yi Sun-Shin, and waved her hand.
两人来到了光化门站，第一个到达的郑惠媛迎接了他们。她站在世宗国王和李善心完好无损的雕像下，挥舞着手。
"Yu Sang-Ah-ssi!"
「余桑阿斯!」
Out of the happiness at this reunion, they energetically hugged each other. It seemed that the only one to reach here so far was Jeong Hui-Won.
在这次团聚的快乐之余，他们热情地拥抱在一起。到目前为止，似乎只有郑惠元一个人到达这里。
"What's wrong with Dok-Ja-ssi?"
“Dok-Ja-ssi怎么了?”
"….The state of his memories doesn't seem to be stable at the moment. He's experiencing confusion at trying to perceive reality."
”...他的记忆现在似乎不太稳定。他在试图理解现实时感到困惑。”
She could only guess that this state was due to him being an Avatar.
她只能猜测这种状态是因为他是一个阿凡达。
"What about Jung-Hyeok-ssi and Su-Yeong-ssi?" Yu Sang-Ah asked.
于相雅问道:“荣耀西和苏映西怎么办?”。
"I couldn't get a hold of them yet. I don't know about Jung-Hyeok-ssi, but Su-Yeong-ssi is the type to call everyone before doing anything else, so…."
