这个生动、凶猛的寓言在空气中爆炸了。他毫不在意这些珍贵的寓言被破坏了,只是挥舞着拳头。
"You wrote my story. In that case, you should also know where my story is supposed to end."
“你写了我的故事。这样的话,你也应该知道我的故事应该在哪里结束。”
At that moment, sentences began streaming past Han Su-Yeong's head.
就在那一刻,一些句子开始从韩素英的脑海中掠过。
⸢Did Yu Jung-Hyeok really come here to acquire the [Final Ark]?⸥
余正赫真的是来这里取得最后的方舟的吗
The belated realisation flooded in.
迟来的意识涌入。
The regressor weary of the scenarios could only carry on because the scenarios existed.
对这些情况感到厌倦的回归者只能继续下去,因为这些情况确实存在。
Yu Jung-Hyeok then began gathering all of his remaining Fables. All these Fables belonging to a man who had finally escaped from the curse of regression bared their collective fangs at Han Su-Yeong.
于重赫然后开始收集他所有剩余的寓言。所有这些寓言都属于一个终于逃脱了回归诅咒的人,在韩素英身上露出了他们集体的尖牙。
"Hit me with everything you've got, Han Su-Yeong."
“韩秀英,用你所有的东西打我。”
⸢This was Yu Jung-Hyeok's last stand.⸥
这是余正赫的最后一战
Every cell in her body was ringing alarm bells.
她体内的每一个细胞都在敲响警钟。
The regressor who had repeated lengthy lifetimes.
那个多次长生不老的回归者。
A certain emotion floated upon those eyes that had been described dozens, hundreds of times before. Han Su-Yeong knew very well what that emotion was.
一种特定的情感浮现在那双眼睛上,这种情感已经被描述了无数次了。韩素英很清楚这种情绪是什么。
Yu Jung-Hyeok wished to die in this place.
余正赫希望死在这个地方。
Not by the hands of anyone, but by the existence who had written his very first sentence.
不是通过任何人的手,而是通过写下他第一句话的人的存在。
"Screw you!! You've never, ever done what I wanted from you, so what the hell!!"
“去你的!!你从来没有做过我想让你做的事,所以管它呢!!”
Kwa-aaaaaaah-!!
哇-啊-!!
Yu Jung-Hyeok unleashing all of his might swung his fist again - one attack that focused all of his great Fables. The climax of the fight was about to be reached. Han Su-Yeong too unleashed all of her Fables. And then…
于重赫再次挥舞着他所有的拳头——一次进攻聚焦了他所有伟大的寓言。战斗的高潮即将到来。韩素妍也发表了她所有的寓言。然后..。
An explosion akin to a star blowing up rocked the world.
一次类似于恒星爆炸的爆炸震撼了整个世界。
Everything hurt as if her entire body had been pounded on. Every bone in her right fist thrust forward was broken. Her companions cried out, while other spectators screamed. Han Su-Yeong endured the force of impact while stuck in this ringing pain harsh enough to tear out her eardrums. Her whole body was now left in tatters.
一切都很疼,好像她的整个身体都受到了重击。她右拳向前一推,每根骨头都断了。她的同伴们尖叫起来,其他观众也尖叫起来。韩素妍忍受着撞击的力量,同时被这种响声般的疼痛折磨得耳膜撕裂。她的整个身体现在支离破碎。
Yu Jung-Hyeok was collapsed on the ground, unmoving.
于重赫倒在地上,一动不动。
Her heart began pounding away.
她的心开始怦怦直跳。
"Yu Jung-Hyeok?"
“于正赫?”
The tips of his hand trembled ever so faintly. He slowly opened his eyes and looked up at her. She panted heavily and barely managed to force out some words.
他的手尖微微地颤抖着。他慢慢地睁开眼睛,抬头看着她。她气喘吁吁,勉强说了几句话。
"…..This is a little different from back then in the Dark Castle, right?"
“......这和那时候在黑暗城堡有点不一样,对吧?”
The moment she finished saying that, both of her legs gave way. When did she get hit? All the bones in her knees had been completely crushed.
她一说完,两条腿就不听使唤了。她什么时候被打的?她膝盖上的所有骨头都被压碎了。
"Doesn't look that way," muttered Yu Jung-Hyeok.
“看起来不是那样的,”于正赫咕哝道。
"You son of a…."
“你这狗娘养的......”
Two of them collapsed face-first into the ground. Han Su-Yeong crawled towards Yu Jung-Hyeok. Her anger didn't seem like it'd abate soon unless she smacked him just one more time, somehow.
其中两个人脸朝下倒在地上。韩素妍朝余正赫爬过去。她的愤怒似乎不会很快消退,除非她再打他一下,不管怎样。
Her hand shaking precariously was about to slap him in the back of his head, but unfortunately, his own right hand shaking pitifully grabbed onto her wrist first. And so, the arms of two people started a contest of what little strengths they had left in mid-air, only for them miss each other and sag down weakly. They truly had not one drop of energy left to continue.
她摇摇晃晃的手差点打在他的后脑勺上,但不幸的是,他自己的右手先可怜地摇晃着抓住了她的手腕。于是,两个人的手臂开始了一场竞赛,他们在半空中仅剩的一点力量,只是为了彼此的思念和虚弱的下垂。他们真的没有一滴精力继续下去了。
The torn scars left behind in the skies by the collision of their Fables could be seen. And the view of the distant <Star Stream> could be spied within the horribly-torn sky. The few remaining stars of the night sky sparkled and sent their faint rays of light on the two people.
我们可以看到他们的寓言相撞在天空中留下的撕裂的伤疤。在可怕的天空中,遥远的星流的景象可以被窥视到。夜空中仅存的几颗星星闪烁着,发出微弱的光线照射在两个人身上。
Yu Jung-Hyeok staring at that spectacle for a long while spoke in passing. "….Kim Dok-Ja is supposed to be scattered to the rest of the universe."
余正赫盯着这个场面看了很长时间,顺便说了几句话金道子应该散落在宇宙的其他地方。”
Kim Dok-Ja's soul, scattered away into fine little pieces. How much of him truly remained within those tiny fragments? Even Han Su-Yeong couldn't be sure.
金道子的灵魂,散落成细小的碎片。在那些微小的碎片中,他真正留下了多少?连韩素英都不敢肯定。
Except that, she was sure of the tiny 'Kim Dok-Jas' being born as some things in the mouths of the worlds she hadn't even thought of. He might be reborn as a human. Maybe the place was similar to Earth. Maybe this time, he'd be born in another continent, not in the Korean Peninsula.
除此之外,她确信小小的“金度佳斯”是从她从未想过的世界里诞生的。他可能会重生为人类。也许这个地方和地球很相似。也许这一次,他会出生在另一个大陆,而不是在朝鲜半岛。
"Do you think that that fool has become happier now?"
“你认为那个傻瓜现在开心了吗?”
The moment she heard him, Han Su-Yeong felt that something had finally come to an end.
韩素英一听,就觉得有些事终于要结束了。
The mouth of her heart ached really painfully. She could clearly hear the sounds of something breaking - the sounds of a story coming to an end. The sounds of their truly long mourning finally drawing to a close. That was the sound of someone only living in their past finally letting go of that very past. Right at that moment, Han Su-Yeong was overcome by the bizarre guilt of corruption, of betrayal.
她的心口真的痛得要命。她能清楚地听到什么东西爆炸的声音——一个故事即将结束的声音。他们真正漫长的哀悼之声终于接近尾声。这是一个只活在过去的人最终放下过去的声音。就在那一刻,韩素妍被腐败和背叛的怪异罪行所征服。
"Kim Dok-Ja, he…."
“金道子,他......”
⸢Was it possible that he didn't want us to give up?⸥
有没有可能他不想让我们放弃
Could it be that even if everyone else let go of their long, agonising sorrow, he wished for just one person to continue on with the acts of sheer stupidity at the cost of ruining their life?
会不会是,即使其他所有人都放下了他们那漫长而痛苦的悲伤,他还是希望只有一个人以毁掉他们的生活为代价,继续从事纯粹的愚蠢行为?
She heard Yu Jung-Hyeok coughing away painfully and muttered out what she needed to say. "I'm sure he's doing well. He's a tough guy, after all."
她听到余重赫痛苦地咳嗽着,低声说出了她想说的话。“我肯定他做得很好。毕竟,他是个硬汉。”
"…."
"...."
"He's probably living a life of his own out there, and living it happily, too. Who knows, he might be reading some other weird book in the meantime, too."
“他可能在那里过着自己的生活,也过着快乐的生活。谁知道呢,说不定他同时也在读别的什么奇怪的书呢。”
"Even if we find him, the fool probably won't remember anything."
“即使我们找到他,那个傻瓜可能什么都不记得了。”
This was the end of their mourning.
他们的哀悼到此结束。
There was no meaning in crossing the world-line anymore. Even if they did find that 'Kim Dok-Ja', what could they possibly do? They couldn't certainly impose the past on someone who didn't remember. The reincarnated Kim Dok-Ja wasn't the 'Kim Dok-Ja'. The one they knew no longer existed in this universe, no matter where they looked.
跨越世界的界限已经没有意义了。即使他们真的找到了“金道子”,他们又能做什么呢?他们当然不能把过去强加给一个不记得的人。转世的金道子不是“金道子”。不管他们看向哪里,他们知道的那个人已经不存在于这个宇宙中了。
Even then, Han Su-Yeong still blurted out something strange.
即使这样,韩素妍还是脱口而出一些奇怪的话。
"We don't know that. If the 'Ways of Survival' also exists in the place where he's reincarnated into, then…"
“我们不知道。如果‘生存之道’也存在于他转世投胎的地方,那么......”
Right away, she felt puzzled by why she said something like that.
马上,她就对自己为什么要说这样的话感到困惑。
"As I said, the Ways of Survival…."
“正如我所说,生存之道......”
Her mouth continued to mutter out, perhaps to reject her own will.
她的嘴继续咕哝着,也许是为了拒绝自己的意愿。
⸢Kim Dok-Ja, the 'Most Ancient Dream', has been scattered throughout the universe.⸥
金道子,“最古老的梦”,散布在宇宙各处
Her mind began spitting out disorienting sentences one after the other.
她的脑子里开始一个接一个地吐出令人迷惑的句子。
⸢This universe is maintained by the imagination of the 'Most Ancient Dream'.⸥ ⸢In that case, what is the 'Most Ancient Dream' dreaming about right now?⸥
这个宇宙是由“最古老的梦想”的想象力维持的。在这种情况下,什么是“最古老的梦想”现在的梦想?
Creeping goosebumps crawled up her arms. She didn't even want to think about it, yet… ⸢"Ahjussi from another world-line probably likes books, too. Right?"⸥
爬行的鸡皮疙瘩爬上了她的胳膊。她甚至不愿意去想它,然而......“来自另一个世界的大叔可能也喜欢书。对吧?”
This was truly a nonsensical delusion.
这真是一个荒谬的错觉。
Even then, despite knowing that, Han Su-Yeong couldn't stop her thought process.
尽管知道这些,韩素妍还是无法停止她的思考过程。
Kim Dok-Ja, reading someone's novel while carrying an expression she couldn't imagine on the other side of the distant universe.
KimDok-Ja,一边读着某人的小说,一边带着一种她无法想象的表情在遥远的宇宙的另一边。
"That guy, he… Is he still curious about the conclusion to this story, I wonder?" Han Su-Yeong asked.
韩素英问道:“那个人,他......他还对这个故事的结局感到好奇吗?”。
"….What are you talking about?"
“你在说什么?”
"What if… What if the countless 'Kim Dok-Jas' scattered to the rest of universe read a certain story all at the same time….."
“如果......如果散落在宇宙其他地方的无数‘金杜佳’同时读到某个故事会怎样......”
⸢Why did Constellations try to spread their own fables as far and as wide as possible?⸥ ⸢How come the foundation of this world was 'stories'?⸥ "What if all those Kim Dok-Jas who had forgotten that he is the 'Most Ancient Dream', dreams of the same story?"
为什么星座试图尽可能广泛地传播他们自己的寓言?为什么这个世界的基础是“故事”?“如果所有那些忘记自己是‘最古老的梦’的金度佳都梦到同样的故事,那会怎么样?”
The way to rediscover Kim Dok-Ja, without ruining the lives of the reincarnated Kim Dok-Jas living in other world-lines.
重新发现金度子的方法,而不会毁掉金度子转世后生活在另一个世界的生活。
Han Su-Yeong's hazy, indistinct sounding voice continued on.
韩素英那朦胧模糊的声音还在继续。
"What if the story he's dreaming of… is the same as the story we all wish for….?"
“如果他梦想的故事......和我们都希望的故事一样呢......?”
Her chain of thought was broken only after a pitch-black shadow was cast over her head.
她的思绪只有在一片漆黑的阴影笼罩在她的头上之后才被打断。
"This area was earmarked to be renovated as a public park, but thanks to you two, it's complete chaos here."
“这片区域本来打算改造成公园,但多亏了你们俩,这里乱成一团。”
Since when was it? Anna Croft was standing there.
从什么时候开始的?安娜·克罗夫特就站在那里。
"Are you planning to cross the world-line again?"
“你打算再次跨越世界线吗?”
Han Su-Yeong belatedly regained her wits after seeing that woman's face. She then remembered the delusion she'd been cooking up just now and felt ashamed by it.
韩素英看到那个女人的脸,迟迟才恢复了理智。然后她想起了她刚才编造出来的错觉,并为此感到羞愧。
From the get-go, that idea was nonsense. To make Kim Dok-Jas of other world-lines dream of the novel she had written. What a crazy and empty talk that was.
从一开始,那个想法就是一派胡言。为了让其他世界主线的金度雅梦想着她所写的小说。那是多么疯狂和空洞的谈话啊。
More importantly, there was no way to cross to other world-lines in this world, anyway.
更重要的是,无论如何,在这个世界上是没有办法跨越到另一个世界的。
But then, Anna Croft's expression was somewhat strange. "I thought that a day like this might come sooner or later."
不过,安娜·克罗夫特的表情有些奇怪:“我想这样的日子迟早会到来。”
Her eye was emitting the crimson glow. Her gaze was now directed at the steeple of the museum.
她的眼睛放射出深红色的光芒,她的目光现在指向博物馆的尖塔。
At the replica of the [Final Ark].
在[终极方舟]的复制品旁。
Han Su-Yeong's heart began beating faster and faster. Such a thing was not possible. It shouldn't be possible, but… How?
韩素英的心跳开始越来越快,这样的事情是不可能的,不可能的,但是...怎么可能呢?
Ku-gugugu…
古古古..。
Slowly, so very slowly, the so-called replica began floating up from the top of the museum.
慢慢地,非常缓慢地,这个所谓的复制品开始从博物馆的顶部浮起来。
Yu Jung-Hyeok and his brows shot up high was already sitting up as he stared at the airborne object.
于重赫抬起眉毛盯着空中飞来的物体,他已经坐了起来。
The ark - its size might have been very small, but without a doubt, it was still an ark.
方舟——它的尺寸可能非常小,但毫无疑问,它仍然是一艘方舟。
"I collected some parts and had it fixed for the past 20 years, just in case. If none of you had returned, then I was planning to go and visit you. Although not many parts could be salvaged and the vessel has not been repaired completely…."
“为了以防万一,我收集了一些零件,在过去20年里一直让人修理。如果你们没有人回来,那么我就打算去看你们。虽然没有多少部件可以打捞上来,而且这艘船也没有完全修好......”
The ark slowly floating up opened like a capsule and revealed its interior. This was a very small [Final Ark] where only one person could barely fit inside.
方舟慢慢地浮起来,像一个胶囊一样打开,露出了内部。这是一个非常小的(最后的方舟),里面只能容纳一个人。
"It can be used. Except, only one person can ride it."
“它可以使用,只不过,只有一个人可以骑。”
