Within the space of darkness, as if the curtains had come down on the last act.
在黑暗的空间里，好像最后一幕幕布拉下来了。
Han Su-Yeong opened her eyes within this darkness. The [Eye of Truth] expanded and began emitting faint rays of light, and gradually, she could see her surroundings better.
韩素英在黑暗中睁开了眼睛。真理之眼扩大了，开始发出微弱的光线，渐渐地，她能更好地看到周围的环境。
….Just what happened?
到底发生了什么？
[You have misaligned and broke the world-line's deciding Probability!] [Your actions have affected the 'Most Ancient Dream's' ■■!] [The 'Most Ancient Dream's' ■■ is changing!]
[你已经偏离了轨道，破坏了世界线的决定概率!]你的行为影响了“最古老的梦”■(《最古老的梦》■正在改变!)
Then, indecipherable messages floated up next.
然后，无法辨认的消息就会浮现出来。
But none of that mattered. What's important was rescuing Kim Dok-Ja.
但这些都不重要，重要的是救出金道子。
Han Su-Yeong focused her sight to the presence she picked up in front of her. When she did, something sooty, darkish could be spotted.
韩素英把视线集中在她眼前的东西上。当她这样做的时候，可以看到一些黑色的东西。
"Yu Jung-Hyeok, is that you?"
“俞正赫，是你吗?”
"Yes."
“是的。”
Han Su-Yeong felt around like a blind and approached him, only to freak out and shout loudly. "Hey, you moron! What the hell are you doing, choking a little kid?!"
韩素英像瞎子一样摸索着走近他，只是吓了一跳，大声喊叫起来。“嘿，你这个白痴！你到底在干什么，掐死一个小孩?!”
"This is not a little kid. It's Kim Dok-Ja."
“这不是小孩子，这是金道子。”
"It's kid-ified Kim Dok-Ja!"
“这是孩子化的金道子!”
She hurriedly snatched Kim Dok-Ja away from him and brought her finger closer to the small nose. She felt a very faint, shallow breathing.
她急忙把金道子从他身边抢过来，把手指靠近小鼻子。她感到一种非常微弱的、浅浅的呼吸。
But why was this? Something about his current state felt wrong. Just what was up with this feeling that he might shatter into pieces at any second….?
但为什么会这样呢？他现在的状态有些不对劲。这种感觉是怎么回事，他随时都可能粉身碎骨......？
"What's wrong with him?"
“他怎么了?”
"His Fable has been damaged too extensively. I've already fed him the Life and Death Pill, but… It's not working."
“他的寓言已经损坏得太严重了。我已经给他吃过生死药了，但是......不管用。”
They needed Yi Seol-Hwa. However, none of the presences of their companions could be felt nearby. It seemed that only Yu Jung-Hyeok, Kim Dok-Ja, and herself were trapped within this separate space.
他们需要李雪花。然而，他们的同伴的存在在附近都感觉不到。似乎只有YuJung-Hyeok，KimDok-Ja和她自己被困在这个独立的空间里。
With hostile eyes, Han Su-Yeong glared at her surroundings. There was only one culprit capable of doing something like this.
韩素英用充满敌意的眼光看着周围的一切，只有一个罪犯能做出这样的事。
"The 4th Wall! Stop this and let us leave!"
“第四道长城!住手，让我们离开!”
Along with 'Tsu-chuchut' noise, a faint, blurry silhouette appeared within the darkness. A boy Dokkaebi wearing a fedora was standing there. Its face was filled with indescribable sadness and purity.
伴随着“tsu-chut”的声音，黑暗中出现了一个模糊的轮廓。一个戴着软呢帽的男孩多卡比站在那里。它的脸上充满了难以形容的悲伤和纯洁。
Han Su-Yeong studied [The 4th Wall] for a little while, before asking it. "….Is that your real appearance?"
韩素英研究了一下四壁，问道:“这是你的真面目吗?”
⸢T hat s ri ght⸥
这是对的
It no longer resembled the figure she had spied within her memories. Not a sign of a middle-aged Dokkaebi could be seen on that face. [The 4th Wall] addressed her.
它不再像她记忆中窥探到的那个身影了。那张脸上看不出一丝中年多卡比的影子。[第四道墙]向她致意。
⸢A rea lly l o n g ti me ha s pas sed by⸥
事实上，我真的没有经历过
Han Su-Yeong thought about something. Maybe [The 4th Wall] was in the same boat as Kim Dok-Ja. It too could have forgotten everything and gradually turned into a child while enduring the untold length of time.
韩素英想了想。也许(第四道墙)和金道子(KimDok-Ja)处境相同。它也可能已经忘记了一切，并逐渐变成一个孩子，同时忍受了无数的时间。
While fixing Kim Dok-Ja's clothing, Han Su-Yeong asked. "You were protecting Kim Dok-Ja because of my order, weren't you?"
韩素英一边给金道子补衣服，一边问道:“你是因为我的命令才保护金道子的，对吧?”
⸢I th ink I w as⸥
我想我是的
"You gave Kim Dok-Ja the 'Ways of Survival' text files, right? You kept helping him out afterwards, too."
“你把‘生存之道’的文本文件给了金道子，对吧?之后你也一直在帮他。”
[The 4th Wall] didn't reply. No, it just stared at Kim Dok-Ja with vague eyes of someone digging through very old memories.
(第四道墙)没有回复。没有，它只是用模糊的眼神盯着金道子，好像有人在挖掘一些非常古老的记忆。
Han Su-Yeong's voice now took on the subtle hint of anger. "But, why did you let Kim Dok-Ja end up in this state?"
韩素英的声音现在带着一丝微妙的愤怒。“但是，你为什么让金道子落到这个地步?”
⸢….⸥
..
"Say something! What were you even thinking to let…."
“说话啊!你到底在想什么啊......”
⸢You don't know what the reader really wants.⸥
你不知道读者真正想要的是什么
[The 4th Wall] no longer stammered its words.
第四道长城不再结结巴巴地说话。
⸢You all truly, truly do not know anything.⸥ "….We'll be taking Kim Dok-Ja with us. We can't sit back and watch this guy live his life as the 'Most Ancient Dream'."
你们真的真的什么都不知道。”我们要带金道子一起走。我们不能袖手旁观，眼睁睁地看着这个家伙把自己的生活当作‘最古老的梦想’。”
At her attitude of willing to start a fight, [The 4th Wall]'s brows quivered. But rather than Han Su-Yeong clenching her fist in nervousness, Yu Jung-Hyeok stepped forward, instead.
看到她愿意挑起争端的态度，[第四面墙]皱起了眉头。但是，不是韩素妍紧张地握紧拳头，而是于重赫走上前来。
"If we take him with us, will the position of the 'Most Ancient Dream' be left vacant?"
“如果我们带上他，‘最古老的梦’的位置会空出来吗?”
Han Su-Yeong's shoulders flinched.
韩素英耸了耸肩膀。
It wasn't as if she had never thought about that problem.
并不是说她从来没有想过这个问题。
The problem of 'after Kim Dok-Ja is rescued, who will take over the position of the Most Ancient Dream?'
“金道子获救后，谁将接替最古老的梦的位置?”
This world was maintained solely because the 'Most Ancient Dream' dreamed. In a universe operated only through someone's sacrifice, someone had to become the existence who dreamed.
这个世界之所以存在，完全是因为最古老的梦想。在一个只有通过某人的牺牲才能运作的宇宙中，某人必须成为梦想的存在。
Yu Jung-Hyeok opened his mouth. "I shall take over."
于重赫开口道:“我来接手。”
"What the?! Hey! What bullshit are you spewing now?!"
“怎么回事?!嘿!你在胡说些什么?!”
"I'm trying to say that I will become the new 'Most Ancient Dream'."
“我想说的是，我将成为新的‘最古老的梦’。”
"How can you pull that off when you don't even have an iota of imagination?! No, let me do it. I can do it so much better than this Kim Dok-Ja here. That's why…."
“当你连一点想象力都没有的时候，你怎么能做到这一点呢！不，让我来。我可以做得比这个金道子好多了。这就是为什么......”
Han Su-Yeong yapped on and on, even though she didn't really understand what her mouth was saying. She simply blurted out only with the aim of stopping this crazy idiot. And fortunately enough, [The 4th Wall] wasn't Yu Jung-Hyeok's ally in this case, either.
韩素英滔滔不绝地说个不停，虽然她并不真正明白自己在说什么。她只是脱口而出，只是为了阻止这个疯狂的白痴。幸运的是，[第四道墙]在这件事上也不是俞正赫的盟友。
⸢Puppet of the 'Most Ancient Dream', you can't become the dream. Because, you don't love this story.⸥
“最古老的梦想”的木偶，你不能成为梦想。因为，你不爱这个故事
"In that case, I must-"
“那样的话，我必须——”
⸢It's the same story for you, Han Su-Yeong.⸥ "Then who's going to take over this guy's role? I'm telling you this right now, but we're definitely taking him with us, you hear? Even if it's you, you can't stop us."
韩素英，你也一样。“那么谁来接替这个家伙的角色呢？我现在就告诉你，但我们一定要带上他，听到了吗？即使是你，你也阻止不了我们。”
[The 4th Wall] stared at Han Su-Yeong and Yu Jung-Hyeok for a little while.
第四道墙盯着韩素英和余正赫看了一会儿。
⸢Take him.⸥
把他带走
"What's that?"
“那是什么?”
⸢You can just take him. Even if you take away 'that Kim Dok-Ja', this universe won't be destroyed anymore.⸥
你可以带走他。即使你带走了“那个金道子”，这个宇宙也不会再被摧毁了
As she didn't expect to hear such a reply, Han Su-Yeong could only blink her eyes like an idiot. She glanced to her side, and even Yu Jung-Hyeok was making a similar face.
韩素妍没想到会听到这样的回答，只能像个白痴一样眨眼睛。她向身边瞥了一眼，连余正赫也露出了同样的表情。
Just what was the Dokkaebi saying here? She had never thought of such an ending. Was it really okay to welcome a conclusion of this nature?
Dokkaebi在这里说了什么？她从来没有想到会有这样的结局。欢迎这种性质的结论真的可以吗？
….No, that simply wasn't possible.
不，那是不可能的。
This <Star Stream> was never considerate towards any of them before, not even once.
这条星流从来没有体谅过他们，一次也没有。
Han Su-Yeong's face gradually hardened and she asked back. "Why won't the universe be destroyed even after we take him away?"
韩素英的脸色渐渐变得僵硬起来，她问道。“为什么即使我们把他带走了，宇宙也不会被毁灭?”
⸢The 'Kim Dok-Ja' you know has scattered to the rest of the universe already.⸥
你所知道的“KimDok-Ja”已经散布到宇宙的其他地方了
"What was that "
“那是什么?”
She dazedly stared at Kim Dok-Ja currently embraced in her arms - at his frail figure, small enough for only one of her arms to wrap around.
她茫然地看着金道子，她怀里抱着他，看着他虚弱的身体，只有一只胳膊能抱住他。
It felt like a hammer had struck her on the back of her head. It couldn't be, the reason why Kim Dok-Ja ended up in this state was… "You… Just what the hell did you do?"
感觉就像一把锤子砸在了她的后脑勺上。不可能，金道子之所以落到这个地步，是因为......“你......你到底做了什么?”
⸢This wasn't my doing. It's what he himself wanted. After all, he knew your group would do something like this.⸥
这不是我做的。这是他自己想要的。毕竟，他知道你的团队会做这样的事
A subtle chill began running down her skin.
一丝微弱的寒意开始沿着她的皮肤流下来。
In order to save this world, someone must become the 'Most Ancient Dream'. If Kim Dok-Ja was saved, then someone else must replace him.
为了拯救这个世界，必须有人成为“最古老的梦”。如果金道子得救了，那么必须有其他人取代他。
Wouldn't he… Would someone like Kim Dok-Ja really not know that?
难道他...难道像金道子这样的人真的不知道吗？
⸢You all have done something terribly stupid. The conclusion the reader wanted was the only conclusion. Why did you try to change it?⸥
你们都做了一些非常愚蠢的事。读者想要的结论是唯一的结论。你为什么要改变它？
The expression of [The 4th Wall] staring at her gave her the creeps. A negative emotion that was neither hatred or resentment, not even sadness, was now directed in her and Yu Jung-Hyeok's direction.
第四道墙盯着她的表情使她毛骨悚然。一种既不是仇恨或怨恨，也不是悲伤的负面情绪，现在被引向了她和余正赫的方向。
⸢You shouldn't have been greedy. No, y o u sh oul d've be en con te nt wi th 49% Kim Dok Ja⸥
你不应该这么贪婪。不，你应该和那49%的金道子在一起
Along with the voice gradually breaking apart, the surrounding time and space began to distort.
随着声音的逐渐瓦解，周围的时间和空间开始扭曲。
⸢D id y o u re ally thi nk y o ur gro up w as spe cial? D id yo u hon es tly bel ieve th at a pro per con clusion wo uld wa it for y o u lot wh en y o u de str oyed the laws of th is uni ver se?⸥
你有没有想过你的身体变得更好？你是否相信在你违反了法律的情况下，这样的结论会对你有利？
Even before she could reply, the surroundings grew brighter.
她还没来得及回答，周围的景色就变得更加明亮了。
⸢Y o u lot ha ve me ss ed up y o ur con clu sion, and y o u wi ll no w be com e mi se ra ble⸥
你们已经让我失望了，你们不会再失望了
….

…….
.......
…….

When Han Su-Yeong opened her eyes again, she found herself standing in Seoul - Gwanghwamun of the 1865th regression turn. The very location where her group readied for the scenario. Snow was drifting down on this landmark that had seen the last conclusion of the scenarios. She quietly looked up at the snowflakes falling one by one.
当韩素妍再次睁开眼睛时，她发现自己站在1865年回归的汉城-光华门。她的团队正是在这个位置为这个场景做准备的。雪花飘落在这个标志性的地方，看到了这些场景的最后结局。她静静地抬头看着一片片飘落的雪花。
She slowly lowered her gaze and saw the small Kim Dok-Ja, still nestled within her embrace. His breathing remained rhythmic.
她慢慢地放下目光，看到小小的金德子仍然依偎在她的怀抱里。他的呼吸仍然有节奏。
"Master!"
“师父!”
Yi Ji-Hye ran towards them from a distance. Even Yu Sang-Ah and Jeong Hui-Won urgently running next to her could be seen, too. The rest of the companions were safe.
易智慧从远处朝他们跑过来。甚至余相雅和郑惠媛也紧紧地跑到她身边。其余的同伴都平安无事。
"Su-Yeong-ssi! What about Dok-Ja-ssi?"
“Su-Yeong-ssi!Dok-Ja-ssi怎么样?”
Even before Han Su-Yeong could say something, Jang Ha-Yeong quickly snatched away and hugged Kim Dok-Ja. "Kim Dok-Ja! His hand, it's as cold as ice! Does anyone have gloves "
韩素妍还没来得及说什么，张夏艳就迅速抓住金道子，拥抱了他。“金道子！他的手，冷得像冰一样！谁有手套?”
The companions quickly surrounded Kim Dok-Ja. Each of them was drunk in their own emotions.
同伴们迅速包围了金道子，每个人都沉浸在自己的情绪中。
Jeong Hui-Won holding onto Kim Dok-Ja's pale smooth cheeks were crying, while Yi Hyeon-Seong and his bear-like bulk were cautiously wrapping Kim Dok-Ja's naked feet. Even Yu Sang-Ah couldn't hold back her tears this time. Both Shin Yu-Seung and Yi Gil-Yeong seemed to be moments away from passing out, too.
郑惠元抱着金道子苍白光滑的脸颊哭泣，李贤成和他熊一样的身躯小心翼翼地包裹着金道子赤裸的脚。这次连余相娥也忍不住流下了眼泪。申玉升和易吉英似乎也差不多要昏过去了。
The figure of Gong Pil-Du sitting on a nearby bench could be seen, busy puffing away at his cigarette as if such a spectacle was too ridiculous to even participate.
可以看到公弼度坐在附近的长凳上，忙着抽烟，仿佛这样的场面太荒唐了，不能参加似的。
"….Is Dok-Ja sleeping now?"
“杜佳现在睡着了吗?”
Yi Su-Gyeong asked that, and Han Su-Yeong nodded as her reply. That small movement was all she could do after squeezing out every dollop of her remaining energy.
李素京问道，韩素英点头答道。这个小小的动作是她所能做的一切之后挤出了她剩余的能量。
Companions finally managed to rein in their emotions and began to talk in turns. The first one to step up while rolling up her sleeves was Jeong Hui-Won.
伙伴们终于控制住了自己的情绪，开始轮流说话。第一个卷起袖子站起来的是郑惠媛。
"I'm really going to dangle him up this time. Right in front of the Industrial Complex, no less! I'm not joking here, so all of you, do not try to stop me!"
“这次我真的要把他吊起来。就在工业园区的正前方！我不是在开玩笑，所以你们所有人，不要试图阻止我!”
"Even still, the current Dok-Ja-ssi is a child…."
“尽管如此，现在的Dok-Ja-ssi还是个孩子......”
"By the way, will ahjussi remain in this state forever?"
“顺便问一句，大叔会永远留在这个国家吗?”
"Hyung, wake up, please! You're pretending to be asleep because of how embarrassed you are, right?"
“哥哥，醒醒，拜托!你是因为尴尬才假装睡着的吧?”
"Did he get younger as a side effect of something?"
“他是不是因为什么副作用变年轻了?”
Yi Ji-Hye hesitating ever so slightly suddenly shouted out in a bright voice. "Who cares if he got younger? We can just raise him, right?!"
易智慧犹豫了一下，忽然高声喊了出来。“谁在乎他是不是变年轻了？我们可以把他养大，对吧?”
"Does that mean I can go to the same school as hyung?"
“这是不是意味着我可以和hyung上同一所学校?”
"Hey, you think ahjussi really became a little kid like you?!"
“嘿，你觉得大叔真的变成你这样的小孩了吗?!”
And so, for the next couple of minutes, they bickered and bantered like this. In the meantime, Yi Seol-Hwa was checking out Kim Dok-Ja's current condition throughout his body, but as she did, her expression was slowly hardening.
因此，在接下来的几分钟里，他们像这样争吵和打趣。与此同时，易世华正在全身检查金道子目前的状况，但当她这样做时，她的表情慢慢变得强硬起来。
"When Dok-Ja ahjussi wakes up, he's going to remember us, right? It won't be like, he's lost most of his memories or anything?"
“当Dok-Jaahjussi醒来的时候，他会记得我们，对吧？不会是他失去了大部分记忆什么的吧?”
⸢Han Su-Yeong couldn't say a single thing to such companions.⸥
