I looked around and discovered what this place was. Then I felt despair.
我环顾四周，发现了这个地方，然后我感到绝望。
Damn, there was no doubt. This place was… “You don’t have to be so nervous. I won’t bite if you get closer.” Kim Namwoon told me and I sighed.
该死，毫无疑问。这个地方...”你不用这么紧张。你再靠近我就不咬你了。”金南文告诉我，我叹了口气。
I was certain. It was Tartarus, the famous prison of the Underworld. I glanced at the three-headed monster guarding the entrance of the prison. It was a cerberus, a mythical monster dog. Two of its heads were dozing off while one head was acting as lookout.
我很确定。那是塔尔塔罗斯，著名的冥界监狱。我瞥了一眼守卫着监狱入口的三头怪物。那是一只地狱犬，一只神话中的怪物狗。它的两个脑袋在打瞌睡，一个脑袋在放哨。
“That son of a bitch. It should be a 4th grade monster. There are even stronger ones downstairs.” Kim Namwoon spoke like he was a guide to hell.
“那个狗娘养的。它应该是一个四年级的怪物。楼下还有更强的。”金·纳姆文说话的样子就像是地狱的向导。
He was right. This was how it was described in Ways of Survival. The strongest prisoners were trapped in the lower floors of Tartarus, meaning the size of the cerberus became bigger with each floor you descended.
他是对的。这就是《生存之道》中的描述。最强壮的囚犯被困在塔尔塔罗斯的低层，这意味着你每下一层，地狱犬的体积就会变得更大。
Kim Namwoon chuckled and asked, “What do you think of hell?”
金南文笑着问道:“你觉得地狱怎么样?”
I watched his attitude and opened my mouth. It was natural to be nervous when this psychopath had changed. “I have something to ask.”
我看着他的态度，张开了嘴。当这个精神变态者发生变化时，人们自然会感到紧张。“我有些事情要问。”
“What is it?”
“这是什么?”
“Is there anyone else beside you?”
“除了你还有别人吗?”
“There is Ahjussi.”
“大叔在那儿。”
“I’m not talking about me.”
“我不是在说我。”
I closely watched the faces of the ghosts passing by. There were no faces that I recognized. For example, the Disaster of Questions or people like Song Minwoo.
我密切注视着经过的鬼魂的脸。没有我认识的面孔。例如，《问题的灾难》或者像宋民宇这样的人。
Kim Namwoon told me, “I don’t know. I was the only one from the subway who came here.”
KimNamwoon告诉我，“我不知道，我是唯一一个从地铁过来的人。”
Hades’ Underworld was just one of the myriad worlds. The dead incarnations probably went to different Underworlds according to their beliefs or random characteristics. It was the same for Myung Ilsang and Song Minwoo.
冥界只是无数世界中的一个。死去的化身可能根据他们的信仰或随机特征去了不同的地下世界。对于明一生和宋民宇来说也是一样。
I kept an eye on Kim Namwoon’s expression as I asked, “Has a young woman come here recently?”
当我问到“最近有没有一个年轻女人来过这里?”时，我留意着金南云的表情
“Young woman?”
“年轻女人?”
“She has white hair in an um… ponytail. She is really pretty.”
“她有一头白发，扎着马尾。她真的很漂亮。”
Kim Namwoon frowned for a moment before suddenly giggling. “Aha, now I understand.”
金南云皱了皱眉头，然后突然咯咯地笑了起来。“啊哈，现在我明白了。”
I listened in case he had seen Shin Yoosung.
我听着，以防他看到申友成。
“Ahjussi, you died trying to save a woman?”
“大叔，你为了救一个女人而死?”
“…”
“ ... ”
“This is the problem with people like you. Dying because of love… when did you write this story?”
“这就是像你这样的人的问题。为爱而死......你什么时候写的这个故事?”
“Did you see her? Just answer that.”
“你看见她了吗?快回答。”
“Of course I haven’t see her. How can I see your dear girlfriend?”
“我当然没见过她。我怎么能见到你亲爱的女朋友呢?”
As expected, Shin Yoosung’s soul hadn’t come here. Perhaps she still hasn’t crossed the Acheron River. She was a soul that came from another world. She would stay here for a while before being deported out of the world. All I had to do was get to her soul before then.
不出所料，ShinYoosung的灵魂并没有来到这里。也许她还没有越过AcheronRiver。她是一个来自另一个世界的灵魂。在被驱逐出境之前，她会在这里呆上一段时间。我要做的就是在那之前找到她的灵魂。
“What are you doing here?” I asked.
“你在这儿干什么?”我问。
“I was making something. Now Ahjussi is going to make it with me.” Kim Namwoon shook the ashes off his hand and pointed to something. “It is that thing. Doesn’t it look like a Gundam?”
“我在做东西。现在大叔要和我一起去了。”金南云抖了抖手上的骨灰，指了指什么东西。“就是那个东西。它看起来不像高达吗?”
I stared at it. The appearance resembled the figure of a giant. The huge weapon was finished off with a black, glossy metal and it breathed slowly like a living creature. It was a weapon prepared for the most terrible war in the myths.
我盯着它。它的外表看起来像一个巨人。这个巨大的武器被一块黑色光滑的金属制成，它像一个活生生的生物一样缓慢地呼吸着。它是为神话中最可怕的战争准备的武器。
The Giant Soldier. Hades was already preparing for Gigantomachia. It was different from the 12 gods of Olympus who played around, ate and fought using the excuse of preparing for Gigantomachia. Come to think of it, Hades was a constellation of the Greek myths but he wasn’t part of the Olympus nebula.
巨人战士。哈迪斯已经在为巨大的奥马契做准备了。它不同于奥林匹斯山的12位神，他们以准备巨人为借口玩耍、吃饭和战斗。想想看，哈迪斯是希腊神话中的一个星座，但他不是奥林巴斯星云的一部分。
Then a loud noise was heard from outside the entrance. Kim Namwoon grabbed my shoulder. “Come on. Come with me.”
然后从门外传来一声巨响。金南云抓住我的肩膀。“来吧，跟我来。”
“Why?”
“为什么?”
“Can’t you see the manager coming? There is a place where I am working. Go there and pretend to hammer. You have to move quickly if you are a newcomer. Understood?”
”“你没看见经理来了吗？我在一个地方工作。去那里，假装锤子。如果你是新来的，你必须迅速行动。明白吗?”
I knew this much. If this place where really Tartarus’s slave smithy then I knew something about it. That’s why I wasn’t surprised by Tartarus.
我知道这么多。如果这个地方真的是塔尔塔罗斯的奴隶铁匠铺那么我知道一些关于它的事情。这就是为什么塔尔塔罗斯并没有让我感到惊讶。
Kim Namwoon bit his lips. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
金南云咬了咬嘴唇，“你为什么那样看着我?”
I tried not to say it but I couldn’t help myself. “Don’t you have any thoughts about me?”
我尽量不说出来，但还是忍不住问自己:“你对我没有任何想法吗?”
“What thoughts?” Kim Namwoon thought about it for a moment before an eerie smile appeared on his face. “Aha, are you afraid of me?”
“什么想法?”金南云想了一会儿，脸上露出了诡异的微笑。“啊哈，你怕我吗?”
“…”
“ ... ”
“You think I will get revenge. Right?”
“你认为我会报仇，对吗?”
It would be abnormal if I wasn’t scared. I killed the person who was a psychopath in the original novel, even more than Yoo Jonghyuk. Now he suddenly acted friendly with me. I was strange if I wasn’t scared.
如果我不害怕，那就不正常了。我杀死了原著中的精神病患者，甚至比柳钟玉还要多。现在他突然对我表现得很友好。如果我不害怕的话，我就是奇怪的。
“Haha, don’t be afraid. Is it necessary to be wary when we have both already died? I also changed a lot after coming here. I had a lot of time to reflect.”
“哈哈，不要害怕。我们都已经死了，还有必要提高警惕吗？来到这里之后，我也改变了很多。我有很多时间反思。”
I was speechless. The Delusional Demon Kim Namwoon reflecting was as impossible as Yoo Jonghyuk becoming a girl. I knew it was a lie but I still activated Lie Detection as a last courtesy for him. In any case, it was a skill that I acquired to use.
我无言以对。幻想中的恶魔金南云的反应就像永永玉变成一个女孩一样不可能。我知道这是个谎言，但我仍然激活了测谎仪，作为对他的最后礼貌。无论如何，这是我学会使用的一项技能。
[You have confirmed that the statement is true.]
你已经证实了这句话的真实性
…What? I was taken aback and stared at him. Kim Namwoon cried out, “I’m telling the truth Why don’t you trust what I am saying? Aren’t I living in atonement? I am even thankful that you killed me.”
什么？我吃了一惊，盯着他。金南文喊道:“我说的是实话，你为什么不相信我说的话？我不是生活在赎罪之中吗？我甚至感谢你杀了我。”
“Why?”
“为什么?”
“A meal is served when it is time to eat. I can sleep when it is time to sleep. I don’t have to go to school and won’t be nagged at by my parents… It is a bit hot but this place is the best.”
“该吃饭的时候就会上菜。我可以在该睡觉的时候睡觉。我不用上学，也不会被父母唠叨......天气有点热，但这个地方是最好的。”
He was talking about Tartarus in hell. “Besides, I can assemble the Gundam if I get bored. Isn’t this good?” He saw the Giant Soldier as a gundam. “It is thanks to you. I’m serious. Really thank you.”
他说的是地狱里的冥府。“此外，如果我觉得无聊，我可以组装高达。这不是很好吗?”他把巨人战士看作高达。“多亏了你。我是认真的。真的谢谢你。”
This guy was really crazy.
这家伙真是疯了。
[The character ‘Kim Namwoon’ has a favourable impression of you.]
[金南云这个角色对你印象很好。]
Damn, I couldn’t not believe it when these system messages came up.
该死，当这些系统信息出现的时候，我简直不敢相信。
“Then come this way quickly. There is no time.”
“那就快点过来，没时间了。”
I was led by Kim Namwoon towards his workshop. His tools were placed along the workbench and I could see the metal that the gundam was made out of. It was a metal of the Underworld. I felt that this was a setting for this person’s chuuni disease.
我被KimNamwoon带到他的工作室。他的工具被放置在工作台上，我可以看到高达是由金属制成的。它是地下世界的一种金属。我觉得这是这个人患丘尼病的一个环境。
Kim Namwoon said, “They’re coming. Listen.”
金南云说，“他们来了，听着。”
The cerberus started barking.
地狱犬开始狂吠。
Grrrr…
呃..。
My bones seemed frozen when I heard the sound. The administrator holding a whip and bat passed by the cerberus and entered Tartarus. It was a subordinate of Hades wearing a black cloak. He didn’t look as strong as the judges but it wouldn’t be good if I was caught.
当我听到这个声音时，我的骨头好像冻僵了。行政官员拿着鞭子和蝙蝠经过冥府守门犬，进入冥府。那是哈迪斯的一个下属，穿着一件黑斗篷。他看起来不像裁判那么强壮，但是如果我被抓住的话就不妙了。
I stood and pretended to be hammering. Kim Namwoon was giggling next to me. The administrator went to a platform at the entrance and cried out in a scratchy voice.
我站在那里假装在敲锤子。金南云坐在我旁边傻笑。管理员走到入口处的一个站台上，发出沙哑的声音喊道。
-Tell all the slaves on the 1st floor. There will be an unannounced inspection.
告诉一楼所有的奴隶，我们会突击检查。
Kim Namwoon frowned and grumbled, “These jerks are always the same. If they have nothing to do then an inspection…”
金南云皱起眉头，嘟囔道:“这些混蛋总是一个样。如果他们无事可做，那就检查一下......”
However, the administrator’s next words shut Kim Namwoon up.
然而，管理员的下一句话让金南云闭上了嘴。
-There is an illegal intruder in the Underworld. It is said that the soul of a living person crossed Acheron River.
黑社会里有个非法入侵者。据说一个活着的人的灵魂渡过了地狱河。
The ghosts had confused expressions. The administrator’s words continued.
鬼魂们的表情很混乱，管理员的话还在继续。
-If the Great Death finds out about this, terrible things will happen to you as well. This inspection is to find the impure intruder. It isn’t a formal one so don’t be nervous. Everyone stand in place.
如果伟大的死神发现了这件事，可怕的事情也会发生在你身上。这次检查是为了找出不纯洁的入侵者。这不是一个正式的会议，所以不要紧张。每个人都站好。
Dammit, the progress was faster than I expected. In this case…
该死，进展比我想象的要快。在这种情况下..。
Kim Namwoon’s complaints could be heard. “This is really stupid. Even if a living person came here, why would they hide in Tartarus? When someone comes in, they can’t go out. Right?”
金南云的抱怨可以听到。“这太愚蠢了。即使一个活人来到这里，他们为什么要躲在地狱深渊？当有人进来时，他们不能出去。对吧?”
“…”
“ ... ”
“Ahjussi?”
大叔
“Uh, yes.” I replied one beat late.
“呃，是的。”我迟了一拍才回答。
Kim Namwoon watched me and muttered in a dumbfounded voice. “I just want to ask you. Perhaps they are talking about Ahjussi…”
金南云看着我，用目瞪口呆的声音喃喃自语。“我只是想问问你。也许他们在谈论大叔......”
“Right.”
“对。”
“Shit.” Kim Namwoon threw the hammer and laughed. “Wow, it is amazing that you are a living person. I have been talking to someone alive?”
“妈的。”金南云扔出了锤子，哈哈大笑。“哇，你是一个活生生的人，真令人惊讶。我一直在和活着的人说话?”
It was an expression where he didn’t know to be angry or amused. I sighed and asked, “Is there anywhere to hide here?”
这是一种他不知道该生气还是该开心的表情。我叹了口气，问道:“这里有什么地方可以藏身吗?”
“Shit, you want to hide in a prison? If you can’t find anywhere then hide in the gundam over there!”
“妈的，你想躲在监狱里?如果你找不到任何地方，那就躲到那边的高达里去!”
I looked at the Giant Soldier. I really could hide in there. The problem was that it was already close to a ‘living creature’. I was likely to be digested if I went inside.
我看着巨人战士。我真的可以藏在那里。问题是，它已经接近于一个“活生生的生物”。如果我进去，很可能会被消化掉。
“Has that been completed?”
“已经完成了吗?”
“Not yet. There is something wrong with the core. Are you really going to hide in there?”
“还没有。核心有点问题。你真的要躲在里面吗?”
“No.”
“没有。”
“Good thinking. Ahjussi will disappear if you go inside there.”
“好主意。如果你进去，大叔就会消失。”
“…I thought you wanted to live comfortably?”
“......我以为你想过舒适的生活?”
“I’m only good to people who are also dead. I’m sorry that we met when you are a living person. Ahjussi, you should die soon and come back again.”
“我只对那些也死了的人好。对不起，我们是在你还活着的时候认识的。大叔，你应该快点死，然后再回来。”
Kim Namwoon spoke like I was in a terrible position. As we were talking, the administrator had neared this area. If the Giant Soldier had been completed then I could’ve beaten the cerberus and going straight to Hades’ palace. Now that was impossible.
金南云说话的样子好像我处于一个很糟糕的位置。就在我们谈话的时候，管理员已经接近了这个地区。如果巨人战士完成了，那么我就可以打败冥府守门狗，直奔冥府。这是不可能的。
[Due to the effect of your exclusive attribute, the memories from the books you have read will increase.]
[由于你独特属性的影响，你所读过的书的记忆会增加。]
I desperately searched through the contents of Ways of Survival. Yoo Jonghyuk had visited the Underworld in the mid to late regressions. What had he done at the time?
我拼命地搜索《生存之道》的内容。柳永玉在回归的中晚期拜访了黑社会。当时他做了什么？
「 “Tell this to the king. I will take the Great Soldier.” 」 「 “If you don’t want to die then tell everyone to get lost.” 」 …Dammit. He was a crazy bastard. I liked it when I read it but it didn’t help my situation at all.
“把这话告诉国王。我将乘坐“伟大的战士”“如果你不想死，就告诉大家滚开”该死。他是个疯狂的混蛋。我喜欢读它，但它对我的处境毫无帮助。
Facing Hades’ judges head on. This thing was possible for the regressor Yoo Jonghyuk. He had that type of power and opportunity. Yet I…
面对哈迪斯的法官。这件事对于回归者柳钟玉来说是可能的。他拥有那种权力和机会。然而我。.
No, wait a minute. Why couldn’t I do it like him? The direction of my thoughts suddenly changed. Of course, I couldn’t really act like Yoo Jonghyuk.
不，等一下。为什么我不能像他那样做呢？我的思想方向突然改变了。当然，我不可能真的像YooJonghyuk那样。
However, there were many courageous ways that I could use. Why couldn’t I be caught by the judges? Would I fail the hidden scenario and become a resident of the Underworld? No, perhaps the judges would see Hades’ behaviour and try to destroy me?
然而，有许多勇敢的方法我可以使用。为什么我不能被裁判抓住？我会失败的隐藏情节，成为一个居民的地下世界？不，也许法官会看到哈迪斯的行为，然后试图毁掉我？
I was a fool. There was no need to worry if I solved one issue. The administrator finally came to our workshop. I faced him.
我是个傻瓜。如果我解决了一个问题，没有必要担心。管理员终于来到我们的车间。我面对着他。
Then the administrator asked, “Who are you?”
然后管理员问:“你是谁?”
“The one you are looking for.”
“你要找的那个人。”
At this moment, a light shone in the administrator’s eyes. The sharp sound of metal was heard from somewhere. I felt my body gradually freeze and my back was cold. If I looked back now then Hades’ judges would grab me by the neck.
这时，管理员的眼睛里闪烁着光芒。不知从什么地方传来了尖锐的金属声。我觉得我的身体逐渐冻结，我的背部是寒冷的。如果我现在回头看，那么哈迪斯的法官会抓住我的脖子。
I resisted the freezing cold and opened my mouth. “You should think carefully before killing me.” I didn’t have Yoo Jonghyuk’s strength but I had something he didn’t. “If you kill me now, you will surely be defeated during Gigantomachia.”
我顶住了严寒，张开了嘴。“你杀我之前应该三思而后行。”我没有柳永玉的力量，但我有他没有的东西。“如果你现在杀了我，你一定会在巨人之战中被打败。”
The administrator’s eyes shook and the chill subsided for a moment. I didn’t miss this moment and looked up at the Giant Soldier.
管理员的眼睛颤抖了一下，寒气消退了一会儿。我没有错过这个时刻，抬头看着巨人战士。
“Tell the Father of the Rich Night. I know how to finish the Giant Soldier.”
“告诉富之夜之父，我知道怎么完成巨人士兵。”
A fearsome silence descended. The area around my neck was slowly freezing but I didn’t resist.
一阵可怕的寂静降临了，我脖子周围的地方慢慢冻僵了，但我没有反抗。
This was a test. The ice came down from my neck to my shoulders and chest. I didn’t panic. A little bit more. Just a bit more. Finally, the cold reached the edges of my heart. Suddenly, it stopped like magic.
这是一个测试。冰块从我的脖子滑落到肩膀和胸口。我没有惊慌。再多一点。再来一点。最后，寒冷达到了我的心的边缘。突然，它像魔法一样停了下来。
Then a message appeared in my head.
然后一个信息出现在我的脑海里。
