An explosion rang out on the field of snow.
雪地上响起了爆炸声。
Yu Jung-Hyeok swung the [Dark Heavenly Demon Sword] and smacked away the 'Hounds Chasing After the Abyss', before climbing on the roof of the subway train.
在爬上地铁车顶之前，余正赫挥舞着黑暗天魔剑，击退了“追逐深渊的猎犬”。
That explosion just now, it sounded suspicious. Did something happen inside the train?
刚才的爆炸听起来很可疑，火车里发生什么事了吗？
[Dammit! There are just too many!]
(该死!实在是太多了!)
The Abyssal Black Flame Dragon fighting off the Hounds blew his top in anger. There didn't seem to be an end to these black hounds rushing in at them from all sides.
深渊黑火龙在与猎犬搏斗时怒不可遏。这些从四面八方向他们扑来的黑色猎犬似乎没有尽头。
The Great Sage continuously throwing down lightning bolts to scorch the hounds could only mutter on in an exhausted voice. [….I don't want to admit this, but I'm still ways off from comparing against the people from 999th turn.]
大圣不断地发出闪电，把猎犬烧焦，只能用疲惫的声音喃喃自语。[......我不想承认这一点，但是我离第999个转折点的人们还有很长的路要走。]
Yet another explosion noise went off from inside the subway. Yu Jung-Hyeok reflexively turned his head in that direction. What could those be? From the front car of the train, bits and pieces of what resembled Fables began leaking out.
还有一个爆炸声从地铁里传出来。于重赫条件反射地把头转向那个方向。那会是什么？从火车的前车厢里，一些类似寓言的东西开始漏出来。
It was also right then that some things were spat out of the hole on the train along with the loud 'Ku-gugugu!' noise.
就在那时，火车上有东西从坑里吐出来，还有大声的“咕咕咕咕”噪音。
Uriel freaked out and shouted at him. [Yu Jung-Hyeok! Dodge it!]
乌列吓坏了，冲他喊道:[余正鹤!躲开它!]
Right next second, hounds being ejected from the train blanketed Yu Jung-Hyeok like a black cloud.
紧接着，猎犬像乌云一样被从火车上赶了出来。
*
Pah-susu….
帕苏苏..。
Black bits scattered about. With the comma-shaped hole as the centre, the door before their eyes was disappearing.
黑色的碎片散落一地，以逗号形状的洞为中心，他们眼前的门渐渐消失了。
Han Su-Yeong pushed herself off the floor and looked to the front. Letters were strewn about near the cabin door leading to the 3807 train car.
韩素妍从地板上站起来，向前看去。信件散落在通往3807号列车车厢的车门附近。
⸢I also⸥
我也是
⸢With you all⸥
和你们在一起
The moment she saw those words that couldn't yet become sentences, Han Su-Yeong realised just what knocked on the door from the other side. They were Fables - very small fragments of Kim Dok-Ja. Her eyes chased after the line of fallen fragments. The closer she got to the centre of the cabin, the greater the number of Fable fragments fallen on the floor.
韩素妍一看到那些还不会说的话，就明白了对面敲门的是什么。它们是寓言——金道子的非常小的碎片。她的眼睛追逐着落下的碎片。她离小屋中心越近，落在地板上的寓言碎片就越多。
⸢Kim Dok-Ja was there.⸥
金道子在那里
Kim Dok-Ja's body, now as small as a young child, was floating up in the middle of the cabin. His eyes were closed, and he seemed unconscious. Rays of entrancing light were being emitted by his figure that continued to shed blinding Fable fragments. These fragments went through the subway's windows and drifted off to the destination unknown.
金道子的尸体，现在还是个小孩子，漂浮在小木屋的中央。他的眼睛是闭着的，他似乎失去了知觉。他的身影散发出迷人的光芒，继续散发出令人眼花缭乱的寓言片段。这些碎片穿过地铁的窗户，漂流到了未知的目的地。
"Ah….?"
“啊......?”
Kim Dok-Ja's Avatar next to Han Su-Yeong gasped out. His eyes were trembling as if he was shocked. Then, he began approaching the young Kim Dok-Ja.
韩素英旁边的金道子的阿凡达喘不过气来。他的眼睛颤抖着，好像受到了惊吓。然后，他开始接近年轻的金道子。
"Ah… Ah, I'm….."
“啊......啊，我......”
The moment he said that, a powerful suction force began pulling him in. Some kind of power was summoning him back. The Avatar's body began breaking down bit by bit. Those broken bits were then sucked into the main body.
当他说这话的时候，一股强大的吸引力开始把他吸进去。某种力量在召唤他回来。阿凡达的身体开始一点一点地分解。然后，这些碎片被吸入主体。
His gaze looking back met Han Su-Yeong's. She reached out unbeknownst even to herself.
他的目光回望着韩素妍，她甚至在自己不知情的情况下伸出了手。
"Grab him!"
“抓住他!”
However, her hand couldn't touch him. The rate of the Avatar breaking down and getting sucked in grew faster. The bits of fragments from the Avatar brushed past her hand - some words were caught in Han Su-Yeong's fingers.
然而，她的手却碰不到他。降世神通崩溃和被吸入的速度加快了。阿凡达的碎片掠过她的手——一些字被韩素英的手指抓住了。
⸢I'm sorry⸥
对不起
Just what was he sorry about? Kim Dok-Ja's Avatar scattering away like an apparition emitted bright light as he got sucked into the main body. However, despite it absorbing all of the Avatar's Fables, Kim Dok-Ja's body didn't grow back up again. No, the amount of Fables flooding out from him increased, instead.
他为什么要道歉？金道子的阿凡达像幽灵一样散开，当他被吸入主体时发出明亮的光芒。然而，尽管它吸收了所有的阿凡达的寓言，金道子的身体没有再长回来。不，相反，从他身上涌出的寓言故事的数量增加了。
"Kim Dok-Ja!!"
“金道子!”
Han Su-Yeong instinctively realised it. They needed to stop that. Otherwise, they would lose him forever.
韩素英本能地意识到了这一点，他们需要阻止这一切，否则，他们将永远失去他。
Her muscles tightly wound up released like a spring. And so, just as Han Su-Yeong tried to approach Kim Dok-Ja floating in the air…
她的肌肉绷得紧紧的，像弹簧一样松开。就在韩素妍试图接近漂浮在空中的金道子时..。
Kwa-aaaaaaah!
哇-啊-啊！
⸢Y o u c ant go fu rth er⸥
你不能再走下去了
Accompanied by a loud explosion noise, powerful gusts of wind suddenly blew in and something exploded out from Kim Dok-Ja's body. His Fables were overflowing wildly. Sentences flooding out like black tides blanketed the entirety of the cabin and swallowed Han Su-Yeong up.
伴随着巨大的爆炸声，强大的阵风突然吹进来，有东西从金道子的身体里爆炸出来。他的寓言溢出来了。句子像黑色的潮水一样涌出，淹没了整个船舱，把韩素英吞没了。
"Everyone, be careful!"
“大家小心!”
She was forced back mercilessly along with sensations of her skin being swept away. Kim Dok-Ja was getting further away. She urgently looked around, but there was not a thing she could grab onto. Even though she unleashed the Status of a Constellation and borrowed the powers of Great Fables, she had no method to defend against this surging torrent.
她感到自己的皮肤被风吹走了，被无情地赶了回来。金道子越来越远了。她急切地环顾四周，但没有一样东西可以抓住。即使她释放了星座的地位，借用了伟大寓言的力量，她也没有办法抵御这股汹涌的洪流。
"Kim Dok-Ja! Sto….!"
“ Kim Dok-Ja! Sto... ! ”
Sentences escaping from Kim Dok-Ja's body scratched past her entire figure. Sentences a man used to endure his life - the despair created by one person's life. The tidal waves of letters completely blanketing every direction resembled the darkest of the darkest night.
从金道子身上流出的句子划过了她的整个身体。判决一个人用来忍受他的生活——一个人的生活所造成的绝望。信件的浪潮完全覆盖了每个方向，仿佛是最黑暗的夜晚。
The 'Kim Dok-Ja' she understood was merely just the tip of an iceberg. Han Su-Yeong was overwhelmed in an instant and was helplessly shoved back, unable to say anything.
她所理解的“金道子”只是冰山一角。韩素英一下子不知所措，无可奈何地推了回去，什么话也说不出来。
It was Yu Sang-Ah who supported her back, though. "Get yourself together!"
不过，是余相娥支撑着她的背，“振作起来!”
Kim Dok-Ja's figure could be spied among the gaps of the letters.
金道子的身影可以从字母的间隙中窥探出来。
Yi Ji-Hye shouted out. "…..He's a kid?! Why did ahjussi become like that?!"
李智慧喊道:“他还是个孩子?!为什么大叔会变成那样?!”
"Hyung!"
“嗨!”
"Everyone, gather around!"
“大家都过来!”
To fight against the tidal wave, the companions hurdled together. Unfortunately, even that was not enough. They were kept pushed back again and again. At this rate, not only would they be forced outside the cabin, but get ejected from the train itself sooner rather than later.
为了对抗海啸，同伴们一起冲了上去。不幸的是，这还不够。他们一次又一次地被推回去。按照这种速度，他们不仅会被迫离开车厢，而且会更早被火车弹出车厢。
It was then, someone spread open his entire figure and stood to block the exit.
就在这时，有人摊开整个身子，站在那里堵住了出口。
"Hu-aaaaahp! I shall support you all!"
“啊——啊——啊!我会支持你们的!”
It was Yi Hyeon-Seong.
是李贤成。
Accompanied by "Kwa-dududuk!" noise, he activated the [Steel Transformation]. His arms and legs assimilated with the metal of the exit and caught the companions like a net. With a pained face, Yi Hyeon-Seong watched Kim Dok-Ja's Fable brushing past his body.
伴随着“夸-都都督!”噪音，他启动了[钢铁变形]。他的胳膊和腿被出口的金属吸收了，像网一样缠住了同伴们。李贤成带着痛苦的表情看着金德子的寓言擦过他的身体。
⸢To Yi Hyeon-Seong, Kim Dok-Ja was too difficult.⸥
对李贤成来说，金德子太难相处了
The act of understanding someone started off with admitting that you didn't know anything about that person. Yi Hyeon-Seong bit down on his lip hard enough to draw blood and shouted out. "I can only hold on for a little while! Hurry!"
理解一个人的行为开始于承认你对那个人一无所知。YiHyeon-Seong用力咬住嘴唇，鲜血直流，大声喊道。“我只能坚持一会儿！快点!”
Gong Pil-Du quickly summoned his Armed Fortress and supported Yi Hyeon-Seong from behind. He then shouted out. "If I help, we can endure for a bit longer! So, hurry up and rescue that fool!"
宫弼度迅速召集了他的武装要塞，从后面支持义铉成。然后他大声喊道。“如果我帮忙，我们可以再忍受一段时间！所以，赶快去救那个傻瓜吧!”
The companions looked at each other.
同伴们互相看着对方。
"Hold each other's hands, everyone!" Jeong Hui-Won grabbed onto Yi Hyeon-Seong with one hand, and extended the other. "Unleash your Fables all at once!"
“大家手拉手!”郑慧媛一只手抓住李宪成，另一只手伸了出来。“同时释放你的寓言!”
That outstretched hand was held by Yi Seol-Hwa, then Shin Yu-Seung and Yi Gil-Yeong held on to her other hand. The hands of two children were then connected to Yi Ji-Hye. Persephone, as well as Yi Su-Gyeong, followed them right after.
伸出的手被易世华握着，然后申裕升和易吉英握着她的另一只手。然后，两个孩子的手被连接到易继慧身上。珀尔塞福涅和易素京紧随其后。
"Kim Dok-Ja! Wake up!!"
“金道子!醒醒!”
Jang Ha-Yeong grabbed Yi Su-Gyeong's hand and cried out, while Yu Sang-Ah caught her extended hand next.
张夏勇抓住李素京的手大叫起来，余桑雅紧紧地抓住她伸出的手。
"Su-Yeong-ssi!"
“苏映寺!”
The last person to grab the outstretched hand was Han Su-Yeong.
最后一个抓住这只伸出的手的是韩素英。
"….I got you."
“我抓住你了。”
[Great Fable, 'One Who Rebels Against Fate', is continuing on with its storytelling!]
[伟大的寓言《一个反抗命运的人》继续讲述它的故事!]
The Great Fable that connected the companions as one began resisting against the vicious storm.
伟大的寓言，连接同伴作为一个开始抵抗邪恶的风暴。
Like a buoy in the stormy sea, Han Su-Yeong's body helplessly rocked from side to side. She could hold on only because of her companions behind her.
像暴风雨中的一个救生圈，韩素英的身体无助地左右摇晃着。她能坚持下去，只是因为她身后有同伴。
The companions tightly held each other's hands within the crashing waves of the letters, as if they were trying to save a drowning man.
同伴们紧紧地握着对方的手，仿佛要救一个快要淹死的人。
Jeong Hui-Won shouted towards Kim Dok-Ja, ever so faintly visible to her. "Dok-Ja-ssi! We're here! Just hold on for a little bit longer!"
郑慧媛(JeongHui-Won，音译)朝金德子(KimDok-Ja，音译)喊道，这对她来说是隐约可见的。“Dok-Ja-ssi！我们到了！再坚持一会儿吧!”
The companions holding onto each other's hands were like sturdy sentences connected as one. Han Su-Yeong felt the warmth transmitted in her hand and gradually realised something.
同伴们紧紧握住彼此的手，就像连成一体的坚固的句子。韩素英感觉到手中的温暖，渐渐地感觉到了一些东西。
Words existed to describe the depths of the darkness. And to console such darkness, the thing called 'story' was created.
语言的存在是为了描述黑暗的深处，为了安慰这样的黑暗，故事被创造出来。
"Kim Dok-Ja!"
“金道子!”
The tightly-held hands, supported by the sentences shoring up other sentences. While entrusting herself to that hand, Han Su-Yeong approached Kim Dok-Ja one step at a time. Only his face could barely be seen as the rest was covered by the darkness of the letters.
紧紧握住的手，用句子支撑其他句子。韩素妍把自己托付给那只手，一步一步地靠近金道子。只有他的脸几乎看不见，因为其余的部分都被黑暗的字母遮住了。
⸢Wh at y o u are do ing is me aning l ess⸥
你所做的一切都是为了减少我的痛苦
The waves grew more and more vicious as [The 4th Wall]'s voice resounded out.
随着第四道长城的声音回荡出来，海浪越来越凶猛。
⸢Th ere is o n e Kim Dok Ja⸥
这是金道子
Han Su-Yeong knew the reason - the reason why that Kim Dok-Ja was getting smaller. The younger face of him right now resembled the 'Most Ancient Dream' they saw some time ago.
韩素英知道原因——金德子变小的原因。他年轻的脸现在就像他们不久前看到的“最古老的梦”。
He'd lose the memories of the days he spent with his companions, and… …And, he'd even lose the memories of when he read the 'Ways of Survival'.
他会失去和同伴们一起度过的日子的记忆，而且......他甚至会失去阅读《生存之道》时的记忆。
Then, he'd become the purest child after returning to the universe's great cycle.
然后，在回到宇宙的大循环之后，他成为了最纯洁的孩子。
Later on, he'd get rescued by the 'Secretive Plotter'.
后来，他被“秘密策划者”救了出来。
If that was the case, what would happen to the 'Kim Dok-Ja' they remembered?
如果是这样的话，他们记忆中的“金道子”会怎么样呢？
"We've managed to come this far, so this….!!"
“我们已经走了这么远，所以......!!”
Han Su-Yeong reached out as pain of her hand burning away assaulted her.
韩素英伸出手来，她的手被灼热的疼痛袭击了。
Kim Dok-Ja was right before her eyes.
金道子就在她眼前。
⸢The one and only reader who could understand this story.⸥
唯一能够理解这个故事的读者
That Kim Dok-Ja was right over there.
那个金道子就在那边。
There were less than four metres between them, yet to Han Su-Yeong, this distance came across as an infinite margin that nothing could fill. As if an invisible wall was standing before her and Kim Dok-Ja.
他们之间只有不到四米的距离，但是对韩素英来说，这样的距离是无边无际的，什么也填不满的。仿佛一堵看不见的墙立在她和金道子面前。
"You son of a bitch! You promised to read my novel, didn't you?!"
“你这个狗娘养的!你答应过要读我的小说的，是不是?!”
She wanted to tell him. Tell him that there was a world that didn't need his sacrifice to be saved. She thought that, if it was her, she should be able to do it.
她想告诉他。告诉他有一个世界不需要他的牺牲来拯救。她想，如果是她的话，她应该能做到。
Because, she was most proficient at lying than anyone alive, after all.
因为，毕竟她比任何活着的人都更擅长撒谎。
"What the hell is this 'Ways of Survival', anyway?! I can easily create dozens, hundreds of worlds of illusions!"
“这个‘生存之道’到底是什么鬼东西?!我可以很容易地创造出几十、几百个幻觉世界!”
Her shouting voice was gradually losing its strength.
她喊叫的声音渐渐失去了力量。
She had written so many sentences until now, yet she was still unable to save a single person.
到现在为止，她已经写了这么多的句子，但是她仍然无法拯救一个人。
Within the world growing dizzier, Kim Dok-Ja's figure was getting blurrier.
随着世界变得越来越令人眼花缭乱，金道子的形象也越来越模糊。
What would it have been like if only she was just a little bit stronger? Maybe, they didn't plan this out properly. Maybe, she should've learned an even stronger attribute. Maybe, she should've earned a much, much harsher Fable.
如果她再坚强一点会是什么样子呢？也许他们没有计划好。也许，她应该学会一种更强的属性。也许，她应该得到一个更严厉的寓言。
She shouldn't have abandoned Kim Dok-Ja from the get-go. She should've cottoned onto Kim Dok-Ja's plan sooner. No, maybe… ….She shouldn't have written the 'Ways of Survival' in the first place.
她不应该从一开始就抛弃金道子。她应该早点明白金道子的计划。不，也许......她一开始就不应该写《生存之道》。
She shouldn't have become an author of such a story.
她不应该成为这样一个故事的作者。
….An author?
一个作家？
Han Su-Yeong abruptly raised her head.
韩素英突然抬起头来。
⸢Could she do it?⸥
她能做到吗
It was uncertain.
这是不确定的。
⸢No, I can do it.⸥
不，我能做到
Someone else was saying that in her stead.
有人替她说了这句话。
Memories of the 1863rd turn became a Fable and began to violently writhe around. Han Su-Yeong looked down at her own fingertips. Her fingers, scorched black like charcoal.
