我在圆顶外面的同伴正朝这边看。
Shin Yoosung was forming fists with red eyes. Lee Jihye and Lee Gilyoung were shouting something. Lee Hyunsung’s eyes were red as he made a serious expression and Yoo Sangah was staring at me with wide eyes. Yoo Jonghyuk was the last one I looked at before glancing back at Paul.
申岳松正在形成红眼睛的拳头。李吉惠和李吉杨在喊着什么。李贤星的眼睛红红的，他做了一个严肃的表情，柳善雅瞪大了眼睛看着我。柳永玉是我回头看保罗之前最后一个看到的人。
“I-I am outside the scenario! You can’t earn coins by doing this! It won’t benefit you!”
“我...我不在这种情况下!你不能靠这个赚钱!这对你没好处!”
Coins…
硬币..。
Yes, only the dokkaebis would think like this. Some stories would become coins. Some stories wouldn’t become coins.
是的，只有多卡比斯会这样想。有些故事会变成硬币。有些故事不会变成硬币。
“Maybe that is true.”
“也许这是真的。”
None of the constellations had made a bounty scenario, nor was there a sub-scenario. However, this behaviour was meaningful. Nobody was making me do this.
所有的星座都没有做出赏金的假设，也没有子假设。然而，这种行为是有意义的。没人逼我这么做。
“I’m not intending to get any benefits from this.”
“我不打算从中获得任何好处。”
“W-What?”
“什么?”
Since the fall of the world, coins had become the principle behind every human’s actions. They moved if the constellations gave coins and didn’t move if there were no coins. Still, humans often moved regardless of whether there were coins or not.
自从世界灭亡以来，硬币已经成为每个人行为背后的原则。如果星座发出硬币，它们就会移动;如果没有硬币，它们就不会移动。尽管如此，不管有没有硬币，人类还是经常移动。
“You don’t know it but humans are animals that seek for the meaning of life through these things.”
“你不知道，人类是动物，通过这些事情寻求生命的意义。”
“W-What…kuoock!”
“什么...kuoock!”
I raised my fist and started beating him again.
我举起拳头，又开始打他。
Peeeok-!
胡说！
The subsequent punches crushed his face, ribs and joints. I didn’t have to control my power because there was no fear of him dying. One blow was the best blow. Every time bones broke, something exploded inside of me.
随后的击打打碎了他的脸、肋骨和关节。我不需要控制自己的力量，因为我不怕他死去。一击就是最好的一击。每次骨头断了，我体内就会有东西爆炸。
[500 coins have been consumed as a penalty.]
[500枚硬币作为惩罚被消耗掉了]
In fact, I knew.
事实上，我知道。
[500 coins have been consumed as a penalty.]
[500枚硬币作为惩罚被消耗掉了]
I knew very well. No matter how hard I beat him up, it wouldn’t give me any comfort over Shin Yoosung’s death. The dead Shin Yoosung would never see this sight yet I still moved my fists. I hit and hit him again.
我知道得很清楚。不管我怎么痛打他，对于ShinYoosung的死我都不会有任何安慰。死去的申永成永远不会看到这一幕，但我仍然挥舞着拳头。我又打了又打。
Peeeok-!
胡说！
It was just like Yoo Jonghyuk. He kept repeated his regressions until the last moment, even if no one knew his cause.
这就像是柳永玉。即使没有人知道他的原因，他还是不断地重复自己的记忆回归直到最后一刻。
[500 coins have been consumed as a penalty.]
[500枚硬币作为惩罚被消耗掉了]
Then the message of a constellation was heard.
然后听到了一个星座的信息。
[The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ is excited about the unseen development.]
[《金发囚徒》星座对这看不见的发展感到兴奋。]
[500 coins have been sponsored.]
[已经发起了500枚硬币]
I stopped punching for a moment and stared up at the sky. Even this was a story to the constellations.
我停了一会儿，抬头看着天空，甚至这也是一个关于星座的故事。
“It isn’t an act this time.”
“这次不是演戏。”
[You have returned the 500 sponsored coins to the constellation.] [The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ is very embarrassed.]
[你已经把500枚赞助币归还给了星座][星座‘金发囚徒’非常尴尬]
Think of it as a free service. Now things would be good for me.
就当是免费的服务吧，现在事情对我有好处了。
[The constellation ‘Secretive Plotter’ is interested in your actions.] [The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is thrilled with your actions.]
[星座‘秘密策划者’对你的行动感兴趣][星座‘魔鬼般的火焰审判者’对你的行动感到兴奋]
I started punching again. There were only the sounds of the dokkaebi’s skin bursting and intermittent groaning.
我又开始捶打，只听见多卡比皮肤破裂的声音和断断续续的呻吟声。
The constellations silently watched what I was doing. No one gave me any coins but I could feel them watching me. Sometimes, this alone was sufficient.
星座静静地注视着我在做什么。没有人给我硬币，但我能感觉到他们在看着我。有时候，仅仅这一点就足够了。
“U-Uhhh… I was wrong. S-Spare me! P-Please! Please!” Paul couldn’t endure it anymore and dragged his body to the edge of the dome.
“呃......我错了。饶了我吧！求你了！求你了!”保罗再也忍受不了了，他把自己的身体拖到圆顶的边缘。
The wall of the dome made a faint sound but the executives didn’t respond. Rather, they were pleased with my actions. Maybe they would be saying something like this:
圆顶的墙壁发出微弱的声音，但主管们没有回应。相反，他们对我的行为很满意。也许他们会这样说:
「 That coin making bastard. 」
“那个硬币制造混蛋”
「 Damn streamer scum. 」
“该死的流光人渣”
The executive dokkaebis didn’t like streamers. The executives who evolved from constellations were good at fighting but had no talent in leading the scenarios.
行政人员dokkaebis不喜欢飘带。从星座演化而来的管理人员善于战斗，但在领导场景方面没有天赋。
Shortly after, Paul’s body became completely ragged. I grabbed at his bloody neck. At this point, I asked what I really wanted to know. “Where is Shin Yoosung’s soul right now?”
不久之后，保罗的身体完全破烂不堪。我抓住他该死的脖子。这时，我问自己真正想知道的是什么。“ShinYoosung的灵魂现在在哪里?”
***
***
Dead souls that were part of the scenario couldn’t escape from the confines of the contract, even in death. It would’ve been different if the contract itself had been destroyed.
死去的灵魂是这个场景的一部分，他们无法逃脱契约的束缚，即使是死去。如果合同本身被毁了，情况就不一样了。
The intermediate dokkaebi Paul opened his mouth after he was hit a few more times.
中间的多卡比·保罗在又被打了几下之后张开了嘴。
[T…That. I also don’t know. You borrowed the power of an archangel and… our contract was destroyed…]
[t...那个.我也不知道.你借用了大天使的力量...我们的合同被毁了...]
Indeed, it was like this. The dokkaebis had been handed the ‘disaster Shin Yoosung’ by a great demon. In the course of the transfer, the strings of the contract were created using the great demon’s power.
事实上，是这样的。多卡比斯被一个伟大的魔鬼交给了灾难申有成。在转移的过程中，契约的字符串是用这个大恶魔的力量创造出来的。
Then Uriel’s Hell Flames Ignition had burned those strings. In other words, Shin Yoosung’s soul was now floating around the world.
乌列尔的地狱之火点燃了那些弦。换句话说，ShinYoosung的灵魂现在漂浮在世界各地。
[Y-You. Absolutely, can’t, regain, companion… Her soul, soon, the labyrinth…]
你，绝对，不能，恢复，同伴...她的灵魂，很快，迷宫.
Paul finally collapsed.
保罗终于倒下了。
[The ‘Dokkaebi Solo Meeting Rights’ has ended.]
[“DokkaebiSoloMeetingRights”已经结束。]
The transparent dome disappeared and the executives whistled.
透明的圆顶消失了，高管们吹起了口哨。
[Oh, you are in terrible shape even before the disciplinary hearing.]
[哦，在纪律听证会之前你的状态就已经很糟糕了。]
They glanced at me before moving away with delighted smiles. I watched Bihyung hurriedly chase after them and asked,
他们看了我一眼，然后高兴地笑着离开了，我看着必亨急急忙忙地追着他们问,
‘Did you get back the money?’
“你拿回钱了吗?”
-Of course. But didn’t you use too many coins?
当然，但是你不是用了很多硬币吗？
‘I still have a lot left.’
“我还有很多事情要做。”
I hit Paul exactly 124 times.
我打了保罗整整124下。
[Coins Possessed: 143,902 C]
[拥有的硬币:143,902c]
Bihyung sighed as he glanced at me.
比亨看了我一眼，叹了口气。
–I won’t be able to communicate with you after entering the bureau. I will keep the channel open so don’t get into trouble in the meantime. Please.
进了局里我就没法和你联系了我会保持通道畅通，这样在此期间就不会有麻烦了求你了
I watched Bihyung and thought it was good. Without him, no one would argue with him from now on.
我看了毕亨的节目，觉得很好，没有他，以后就没有人会和他争论了。
[The scenario error will delay further compensation settlement.]
[方案错误将延迟进一步的赔偿结算。]
The administrator of the main scenario had completely left the scene and the scenario development was likely to be stagnant for a bit. It should only be a day or two but that was enough time.
主场景的管理员已经完全离开了场景，场景开发可能会停滞一段时间。应该只有一两天，但时间已经足够了。
I looked up at the dokkaebis disappearing into the portal and recalled the last conversation I had with Shin Yoosung.
我抬头看着消失在传送门中的dokkaebis，回忆起我和ShinYoosung的最后一次谈话。
–Don’t worry. You won’t die.
别担心，你不会死的。
–What do you mean?
什么意思？
–I can help you resurrect. I’ve resurrected twice so it isn’t as bad as you think.
我可以帮你复活我复活过两次所以没你想的那么糟。
In fact, I tried to avoid using this method until the end. After all, according to the design, she must ‘die once.’ There was also no guarantee that she could revive again.
事实上，我一直试图避免使用这种方法，直到最后。毕竟，根据设计，她必须“死一次”也不能保证她能再次复活。
–I don’t know how long it will take. If you just wait and don’t give up, I will surely revive you.
我不知道要多久如果你只是等待，不要放弃，我一定会让你复活
If Shin Yoosung’s soul had fallen in to the labyrinth of the world, it was almost impossible to revive her again. However, that wasn’t necessarily the case. She would surely survive if I could regain her soul. The problem was ‘how’ to find her soul.
如果申Yoosung的灵魂掉进了这个世界的迷宫，那么她几乎不可能再活过来了。然而，事实并非如此。如果我能恢复她的灵魂，她一定能活下来。问题是如何找到她的灵魂。
I suddenly looked back at Yoo Sangah. “Yoo Sangah-ssi.”
我突然回头看了看柳善雅。“柳善雅——西。”
“Yes.”
“是的。”
Shin Yoosung’s soul might enter a new world line but in the all, all souls escaped from this world through the ‘Underworld.’
申佑成的灵魂可能会进入一个新的世界，但在所有，所有的灵魂逃离这个世界通过’地下世界
I remembered some constellations related to the afterlife. All of them were in a place I didn’t dare touch or were beyond my reach. Still, there was one person that I could talk to.
我记得一些与来世有关的星座。它们都在一个我不敢触摸或者触手可及的地方。不过，我还是可以和一个人谈谈。
“Can you call the Abandoned Lover of the Labyrinth here?”
“你能把这里叫做迷宫里被遗弃的情人吗?”
Yoo Sangah hesitated for a moment before nodding. After a while, faint sparks appeared around her. It wasn’t the previous method of directly descending due to the increased probability consumption but it was certain that Ariadne nestled inside her.
刘尚雅犹豫了一会儿，点了点头。过了一会儿，她周围出现了微弱的火花。这不是以前的直接下降的方法，由于增加的概率消耗，但可以肯定的是，阿里阿德涅坐落在她的内部。
I opened my mouth. “Olympus. I want to do business with you.”
我张开嘴，“奥林巴斯，我想和你做生意。”
The sparks bouncing around the area were rough. Well, our last encounter wasn’t great. This time, I had to make concessions. I took a deep breath before getting to the point.
在这个区域周围跳动的火花是粗糙的。我们上次见面不是很愉快。这一次，我不得不做出让步。我深吸了一口气才说到重点。
“Let me meet with the King of Hell.”
“让我见见地狱之王。”
Now it was time to keep the second promise.
现在是兑现第二个承诺的时候了。

Episode 22 – Three Promises (3)
第22集-三个承诺(3)
I could see Olympus’s answer from Yoo Sangah’s expression. She became red and then paled. Based on Yoo Sangah’s eyes, I thought I was too hasty in bringing up the story.
我可以从YooSangah的表情中看到奥林巴斯的答案。她变得通红，然后脸色苍白。基于YooSangah的眼神，我觉得我提起这个故事太草率了。
“That…Dokja-ssi.”
“那个......dokja-ssi”
I wondered what she had heard to make her hesitate while watching me. I felt sorry for some reason.
我不知道她听到了什么让她在看着我的时候犹豫不决，我不知道为什么感到难过。
“Can you tell me what the sponsor said?”
“你能告诉我赞助商说了什么吗?”
Sparks flew from Yoo Sangah’s body. Ariadne seemed to be running wild. I waited a bit until the situation calmed down. I hadn’t realized the aftermath of the three questions and answers would be so large. The sparks soon subsided and Yoo Sangah spoke in a mixed voice. “The Father of the Rich Night isn’t someone who can be easily met…”
火花从YooSangah的身体里飞出来。阿里阿德涅似乎疯了。我等了一会儿，直到局势平静下来。我没有意识到这三个问题的后果会如此严重。火花很快平息下来，刘尚雅用混杂的声音说话。“富豪之夜之父不是那种很容易遇到的人......”
The Father of the Rich Night. It was the modifier given to King Hades, one of the three head gods of Olympus.
富人之夜之父。它是奥林匹斯山三大头神之一的哈迪斯国王的修饰语。
One of the three head gods of Olympus, he resided in a famous place that the ‘12 gods of Olympus’ couldn’t enter. Hades was far too great for Ariadne to contact him.
作为奥林匹斯山三大神之一，他居住在一个“奥林匹斯山12神”无法进入的著名地方。哈迪斯太伟大了，阿里阿德涅无法与他联系。
I quickly thanked her. “Thank you Yoo Sangah-ssi.”
我赶紧向她道了谢。“谢谢你，柳善雅。”
“By the way, Dokja-ssi…”
“顺便说一句，Dokja-ssi......”
The smart Yoo Sangah probably already knew that the Father of the Rich Night was Hades. She had a vague idea of why I was looking for Hades.
聪明的刘尚雅可能已经知道富人之夜的父亲是地狱。她大概知道我为什么要找哈迪斯。
The story of Orpheus, who visited the Underworld in order to revive his wife Eurydice, was a famous myth in South Korea.
俄耳甫斯为了救他的妻子欧律狄刻而来到冥界的故事，在韩国是一个著名的神话。
“…Is it possible?” Yoo Sangah wondered.
“......这是可能的吗?”刘尚雅疑惑道。
As a rule, resurrecting the dead was impossible.
一般来说，死人复活是不可能的。
I was subjected to the probability correction of the King of No Killing effect, but in most cases, there was no such correction. It was the same for Shin Yoosung. If resurrection was possible then Yoo Jonghyuk wouldn’t have needed to regress.
我受制于无杀戮之王的概率修正效果，但在大多数情况下，没有这样的修正。对申友成来说也是一样。如果复活是可能的，那么柳永玉就不需要倒退了。
Yet if I could somehow obtain her soul… “I can’t tell you the details right now. I’m sorry.”
然而，如果我能以某种方式得到她的灵魂......“我现在不能告诉你细节，对不起。”
I didn’t want to speak about my future plans in a situation where the constellations were staring at me. There were many constellations who disliked me due to the previous situation.
我不想在星座盯着我的情况下谈论我的未来计划。由于以前的情况，许多星座都不喜欢我。
I threw the bait and now I had to wait and see if they bit. The important thing was to be patient.
我抛出诱饵，现在我必须等待，看看他们是否咬。重要的是要有耐心。
I looked at the people around me and opened my mouth. “Shall we organize things?”
我看着身边的人，张开嘴问道:“我们要不要整理一下东西?”
Then my party members approached me one by one, as if they had been waiting. Shin Yoosung and Lee Gilyoung were with Lee Hyunsung, while Lee Jihye stood in a distant place with a slightly sulky expression.
然后我的党员们一个接一个地靠近我，好像他们一直在等待。申永成和李吉英和李贤成在一起，而李吉赫站在远处，脸上带着略微不高兴的表情。
I heard the voice of a low-grade dokkaebi.
我听到一个低级的多卡比的声音。
[I am the dokkaebi ‘Younggi’, who will temporarily take charge of the compensation settlement.]
[我是dokkaebi‘Younggi’，暂时负责赔偿和解]
He was a newbie dokkaebi and spoke in a slightly stiff voice.
他是个新手，说话的声音有点生硬。
[I will now settle the addition compensation for the fifth scenario.]
[现在我将解决第五种情况下的额外补偿。]
Perhaps all the higher level dokkaebis had disappeared.
也许所有更高层次的多卡比斯都消失了。
[You have received the ‘Ellain Forest’s Vital Energy.’
你已经获得了“埃兰森林的生命能量”
People caught the small fruit that fell from the air.
人们抓住了从空中掉下来的小水果。
[This is the most popular recovery item in the Star Stream. Even if you are seriously injured, you can recover quickly by eating this and sleeping.]
[这是星流中最受欢迎的恢复项目。即使你受了重伤，你也可以通过吃这个和睡觉来快速恢复
It was the first time I had seen such a polite dokkaebi and it gave me a feeling of resistance. Then dokkaebi talked to me and some other people.
这是我第一次见到这么有礼貌的多卡比，它给了我一种抵制的感觉。然后多卡比和我以及其他一些人交谈。
[Additional compensation for the key contributors will be given this evening. Thank you for all your hard work. I hope you cheer up in the following scenarios.]
对主要贡献者的额外补偿将于今晚发放。谢谢你们的辛勤工作。我希望你在下面的场景中能振作起来
The voice disappeared and I watched all the people holding the fruit. Characters I didn’t know would be dead and some people would be dying right now. Still, we survived. The party members weren’t sure to be grateful or sad. Once this happened, someone was bound to act as the representative.
声音消失了，我看到所有的人都拿着水果。我不认识的角色都会死去，有些人现在就会死去。尽管如此，我们还是活了下来。党员们不确定是感激还是悲伤。一旦发生这种情况，必然会有人充当代表。
I stared at them and slowly opened my mouth. “Everyone, you have suffered.
