Episode 4 – Line of Hypocrisy (3)
第四集-伪善之路(三)
Despite the interference of Cheon Inho, the constellations didn't ask for a bounty scenario. In other words, it wasn't the best time to deal with him.
尽管有天河的干扰，星座并没有要求赏金。换句话说，这不是对付他的最佳时机。
For around half a day, I focused on grasping the situation of Gumho Station. It was Lee Hyunsung who mainly gave information.
在大约半天的时间里，我集中精力去了解古陌站的情况。主要提供信息的是李贤成。
“Currently, there are 86 people in Gumho Station. Ah, I guess it is 87 people now with Dokja-ssi."
“目前，古莫火车站有86人。啊，我猜现在有87人在Dokja-ssi。”
“It is less than I thought."
“比我想象的要少。”
"Yes. When the scenario broke out, only those near the station and those on the train survived. Everyone didn't say it but perhaps in the first scenario…"
“是的。当这种情况发生时，只有车站附近的人和火车上的人幸存下来。每个人都没有这么说，但或许在第一种情况下......”
I didn't need to be told the next words. I could see it from the expressions of the people. Those who survived had trampled on someone's life. All the humans here were murderers.
我不需要别人告诉我接下来的话。我可以从人们的表情中看出来。那些幸存下来的人践踏了别人的生命。这里所有的人类都是杀人犯。
“Currently, Gumho Station is divided into two groups. Strictly speaking, it is one group and the rest."
目前，古磨站分为两个组，严格地说，是一个组和其他组
Lee Hyunsung looked at the people with a dark expression. There were men armed with iron pipes or other instruments. It was clear which was the faction in power.
李贤星用阴沉的表情看着人们。有人用铁管或其他工具武装起来。谁是当权派是显而易见的。
"Believe in me! The group president is working hard and everyone will soon be rescued."
“相信我!团队主席正在努力工作，大家很快就会获救。”
The youngest son of Hankyung Group, Han Myungoh.
汉京集团最小的儿子，韩明国。
“Hyung-nim is right, everyone. Don't lose hope. We will be able to led."
“大家，大哥说得对，不要失去希望，我们会有所作为的。”
The one who embraced Han Myungoh and practically led the group was Cheon Inho. They were the 'mainstream group.' “Mother, I'm bored…can't I play a game on the phone?"
拥抱HanMyungoh并实际领导这个团队的是CheonInho。他们是“主流群体”“妈妈，我很无聊......我不能在电话里玩个游戏吗?”
"Hold on for a moment. The rescue team will come soon."
“等一下，救援队马上就来了。”
“The government will act. It isn't that easy to collapse a country."
“政府会采取行动，让一个国家崩溃并不那么容易。”
And the people who were protected by the mainstream group and wanted to get on with their lives were the 'marginalized group.'
而那些受到主流群体保护、希望继续生活的人是“边缘化群体”
Their will was too weak to be killers. Even if 100 murderers were gathered together, they would be divided between the weak and the strong. Maybe they were thinking that they weren't murderers. They all believed it was unavoidable.
他们的意志太软弱，不可能成为杀手。即使100个杀人犯聚集在一起，他们也会被分成弱者和强者。也许他们认为自己不是杀人犯。他们都认为这是不可避免的。
Lee Hyunsung watched the mainstream group inciting the people and said.
李贤成看着主流团体煽动民众说。
“Food distribution is determined by the mainstream group. Convenience stores and restaurants in the region have already been robbed…the foods that can be eaten right now are almost gone."
“食物分配是由主流群体决定的。该地区的便利店和餐馆已经被抢劫一空......现在可以吃的食物几乎没有了。”
"I see."
“我明白了。”
“It is the reason why some people from the mainstream group were sent above ground for food exploration. Heewon-ssi, who you brought in, went with them"
“这就是为什么一些主流群体的人被送到地面上去探索食物的原因。你带进来的平原西也跟他们去了
“Heewon-ssi…?"
“平原西......?”
“Ah, it is the name of the woman who Dokja-ssi saved."
“啊，这是Dokja-ssi救的那个女人的名字。”
I looked at the woman who lay on the subway bench. Under the bright light, her beauty could be seen. Her raised cheeks and gentle features meant she must've often heard she was attractive. Thanks to the monkey's lungs, her colour was much brighter than it was this morning.
我看着躺在地铁长椅上的那个女人。在明亮的灯光下，可以看到她的美丽。她抬高的脸颊和温柔的容貌意味着她一定经常听说她很迷人。多亏了猴子的肺，她的脸色比今天早上明亮多了。
"Is Heewon-ssi the only one who didn't come back?"
“平原是唯一一个没有回来的人吗?”
"No. In fact, a few more people went out this morning but only those from the marginalized group didn't return."
“没有。事实上，今天早上有几个人出去了，但只有那些被边缘化的群体没有回来。”
"They didn't come back?"
“他们没有回来?”
"Yes."
“是的。”
Lee Hyunsung's expression became sad again. He thought he roughly knew what happened.
李贤星的表情又变得悲伤起来，他大概知道发生了什么。
I grabbed Lee Hyunsung's shoulder. I knew for sure after actually touching him. He truly was the steel sword. His strength would soon exceed level 10.
我抓住李贤星的肩膀。我碰了他一下就确定了。他确实是一把钢剑。他的力量很快就会超过10级。
"W-Why are you…?"
“你为什么......?”
“Lee Hyunsung-ssi should've received a love call but you didn't accept."
“李贤贤应该接到一个爱的电话，但是你没有接。”
"Ah, that…"
“啊，那个......”
Objectively, Lee Hyunsung's combat power was higher than Bang Cheolsoo. There was no way Cheon Inho wouldn't aim for him.
客观地说，李贤成的战斗力比邦哲秀还要强，千仁厚不可能不瞄准他。
"I can't explain it but I thought I shouldn't accept. I don't know much about morals or ethics but…"
“我无法解释，但我认为我不应该接受。我对道德或伦理知之甚少，但......”
Lee Hyunsung scratched his head like he was embarrassed.
李贤星挠了挠头，好像觉得很尴尬。
“I felt that something wasn't right."
“我觉得有些不对劲。”
Not right… It wasn't an answer but I felt it was true. Indeed, Lee Hyunsung was Lee Hyunsung.
不对......这不是一个回答，但是我觉得是真的。确实，李贤成就是李贤成。
“Don't forget this heart."
“别忘了这颗心。”
That way, I could continue to believe in him.
这样，我就可以继续相信他。
I heard a cute sound from somewhere and looked back, seeing Yoo Sangah and Lee Gilyoung looking up at me. Their faces were like baby birds waiting for the mother bird, making me laugh.
我听到一个可爱的声音从什么地方传来，然后回过头来，看到刘尚雅和李吉杨抬头看着我。他们的脸就像小鸟一样，等待着母鸟的到来，让我忍俊不禁。
“That reminds me, it is already evening. Aren't you hungry? Take this one by one."
“这倒提醒了我，已经是晚上了。你不饿吗?一个一个地吃。”
I handed over the food from the convenience store one by one.
我把便利店里的食物一个一个地递了过去。
"Ah. Really? Can I?"
“啊，真的吗?我可以吗?”
“This time is free. But next time, you should pay for it."
“这次是免费的，但是下次你得付钱。”
"Huh? H-How much…?"
“嗯?多少钱...?”
“Don't you all have coins? It is 10 coins for one."
“你们不都有硬币吗?十个硬币一个。”
"T-That…"
“那个t......”
Confusion filled the faces of Yoo Sangah and Lee Hyunsung. They looked like they hadn't expected my words.
柳善雅和李贤星的脸上充满了疑惑，他们似乎没有料到我会说这样的话。
"Of course. I will pay right now. I don't need freebies."
“当然。我现在就付钱。我不需要免费赠品。”
Surprisingly, the one who spoke was the woman who had been lying on the bench. She had regained consciousness.
令人惊讶的是，说话的那个女人就是躺在长凳上的那个女人，她已经恢复了知觉。
“I am Jung Heewon. Thank you for your help this morning."
“我是郑希元。谢谢你今天上午的帮助。”
"It is nothing."
“没什么。”
I thought it was just a cute mask but I could see that it was a prejudice.
我以为这只是一个可爱的面具，但我看得出来这是一种偏见。
“Yoo Sangah-ssi, Lee Hyunsung-ssi. Everyone, please wake up. It isn't the time to be making this look. This food, he obtained it by risking his life. Do you expect to get it for free?"
「柳善雅先生，李贤贤先生。大家都醒醒。现在不是做这个的时候。他冒着生命危险得到了这些食物。你希望免费得到它吗?”
There was almost no expression on the face that spoke without hesitation.
那张毫不犹豫地说话的脸上几乎没有任何表情。
"Ah…" Yoo Sangah turned red like she had woken up. "I was too short-sighted, I'm sorry. Of course we should pay…it is right. I don't like freebies either. I hate depending on other people."
“啊......”刘尚雅红了脸，好像醒了过来。“我太目光短浅了，对不起。我们当然应该付钱......这是正确的。我也不喜欢免费赠品。我讨厌依赖别人。”
“I also agree with Yoo Sangah-ssi. I will pay coins from now on."
「我也同意柳善雅的意见，从现在开始，我会付硬币。」
I was a little surprised by the unexpected reaction. Indeed, just because it was an apocalypse didn't mean there was only one type of person.
我对这出乎意料的反应感到有点惊讶。事实上，仅仅因为这是一个天启，并不意味着只有一种类型的人。
“If you insist…I understand. Does everyone know how to exchange coins?"
“如果你坚持......我明白。大家都知道怎么交换硬币吗?”
"Yes. I learned a few days ago. Touch each other's index finger, um, and…"
“是的。我几天前学的。摸摸对方的食指，嗯，然后......”
“Just state how many coins you want to exchange."
“只要说出你想兑换多少硬币就行了。”
Starting from Jung Heewon, Yoo Sangah and Lee Hyunsung paid 10 coins in exchange for food. It was fortunate that their resistance wasn't bigger than what I thought.
从郑希元开始，柳善雅和李贤星用10个硬币换取食物。幸运的是，他们的抵抗力并没有我想象的那么大。
I didn't do this in order to get a few coins. At first, this judgment might seem harsh but people would soon realize this choice was right.
我这么做不是为了得到几个硬币。起初，这个判断可能看起来很严厉，但人们很快就会意识到这个选择是正确的。
['Lee Gilyoung' has paid you 20 coins.]
[‘LeeGilyoung’给了你20枚硬币。]
"Huh? You gave me more than 10 coins?"
“啊?你给了我超过10个硬币?”
“It is the price for the chocolate bar during the day."
“这是白天巧克力棒的价格。”
Lee Gilyoung's expression while speaking was quite good. Maybe the fastest to adapt to a new world wasn't an adult but a child. It was easier for children to break common sense.
李吉英说话时的表情很好。也许最快适应新世界的不是成年人，而是孩子。孩子们更容易打破常识。
“Will Dokja-ssi keep staying with us?"
“Dokja-ssi会一直和我们在一起吗?”
"Ah, that…"
“啊，那个......”
"Dokja-ssi."
“ Dokja-ssi。”
It wasn't Lee Hyunsung who called out to me. I looked back and saw Cheon Inho from the mainstream group. Yes, I thought he would be back soon.
叫我的不是李贤星。我回头一看，看到了来自主流车队的千妮奥。是的，我以为他很快就会回来。
“Can I talk with you for a while?"
“我能和你谈一会儿吗?”
Bang Cheolsoo was missing some teeth and glaring at me from behind Cheon Inho. He stared at me before turning his head away. A foolish fellow.
BangCheolsoo少了几颗牙齿，站在CheonInho的后面怒视着我。他盯着我，然后转过头去。愚蠢的家伙。
“Okay, let's talk."
“好吧，我们谈谈。”
I nodded and Cheon Inho spoke with a satisfied expression.
我点点头，千尼奥满意地说着话。
“Then can the rest of you vacate this place for a moment? I want to talk to Dokja-ssi alone."
“那么你们其他人可以离开这个地方一会儿吗?我想和Dokja-ssi单独谈谈。”
“Ah, that…"
“啊，那个......”
"No, you don't have to go. You can listen."
“不，你不必走，你可以听着。”
Cheon Inho's eyes twitched at my words. Lee Hyunsung stopped as he was about to retreat.
听到我的话，千仁厚的眼睛抽搐了一下。李贤成在准备撤退的时候停了下来。
“Hmmm, is that so? Well…I don't care."
“嗯，是这样吗?好吧......我不在乎。”
He acted like they were free to listen. Cheon Inho wiped the bench and sat down. Men from the Cheoldoo Group appeared on both sides of him and handed him a cigarette and lighter. He had seen too many movies.
他表现得好像他们可以自由地倾听。钦尼奥擦了擦板凳，坐了下来。来自Cheoldoo集团的人出现在他的两边，递给他一支香烟和打火机。他看了太多的电影。
“You seem to have a nature that dislikes cumbersome things, so I will get to the point."
“你似乎天生就不喜欢麻烦事，所以我就直奔主题了。”
"Yes."
“是的。”
"Join our group."
“加入我们的团队吧。”
It was an expected offer.
这是一个意料之中的提议。
“I can offer Dokja-ssi a high position in our group. I want to lead the group together with you."
“我可以在我们集团中给多克贾斯提供一个很高的职位，我想和你一起领导集团。”
"Why me?"
“为什么是我?”
"Shouldn't you know why?"
“难道你不知道为什么吗?”
Cheon Inho glanced towards the injured Cheoldoo Group members.
千尼奥瞥了一眼受伤的Cheoldoo组员。
“Dokja-ssi is a hero who saved people from monsters. A hero needs such a place."
“Dokja-ssi是从怪物手中拯救人类的英雄。英雄需要这样一个地方。”
It was an interesting way of thinking. He would take advantage of my presence.
这是一种有趣的思维方式，他会利用我的存在。
"And if I refuse?"
“如果我拒绝呢?”
“Refuse? How interesting. I never thought about that." Cheon Inho blew out cigarette smoke towards me. “Dokja-ssi, this isn't a favour. You have a duty to do this. Can't you see the poor people here?"
”“拒绝？真有趣。我从没想过这个问题。”千尼奥朝我吹了一口烟。“Dokja-ssi，这不是帮忙。你有责任这么做。你看不见这里的穷人吗?”
People were looking this way with scruffy faces. There were crying children and tired elderly people.
人们都朝这个方向看，脸上都是脏兮兮的，有哭泣的孩子，也有疲惫不堪的老人。
“It isn't a big story. I am asking you to work together for survival. Dokja-ssi, don't you have the strength?"
“这不是什么大新闻。我是要你们一起工作，为了生存。Dokja-ssi，你难道没有力量吗?”
"What exactly do you want?"
“你到底想要什么?”
“I need someone to be a hitman."
“我需要一个职业杀手。”
Hitman?
刺客？
"Until a few days ago, there was someone else doing the job. He procured food alone and hunted in the tunnels. To be exact, we took it one-sidedly."
“直到几天前，还有其他人在做这项工作。他独自采购食物，在隧道里打猎。确切地说，我们只是片面地看待这个问题。”
I didn't need to ask.
我不需要问。
This was the story of Yoo Jonghyuk.
这就是柳钟玉的故事。
“But he suddenly left last night."
“但他昨晚突然离开了。”
“So you need someone to replace him?"
“所以你需要有人来代替他?”
“I think your strength is proven with Cheolsoo-ssi."
“我想你的力量已经被Cheolsoo-ssi证明了。”
Lee Hyunsung and Jung Heewon's eyes widened. Now they noticed what was going on.
和JungHeewon的眼睛睁大了，现在他们注意到发生了什么。
“It isn't bad for Dokja-ssi. You are the hero of the people and will be the leader of the group with us. Everyone will like you and also…"
“这对Dokja-ssi来说并不坏。你是人民的英雄，你将是我们这个团体的领袖。每个人都会喜欢你，而且......”
“I’m sorry but I can't be responsible for anyone. I don't want to join your group."
“对不起，我不能对任何人负责。我不想加入你们的团队。”
"Hrmm. Is that so?"
“哼，是吗?”
“Above all, the way you run the group doesn't fit me."
“最重要的是，你管理集团的方式不适合我。”
I looked at the health members of the Cheoldoo Group and the sickly-looking members of the marginalized group. In particular, Jung Heewon was looking at the Cheon Inho as if he was her mortal enemy.
我观察了Cheoldoo组织的健康成员和边缘化群体中看起来病怏怏的成员。尤其值得一提的是，JungHeewon把CheonInho当成了她的死敌。
“Is that so? It is fine. But if you change your mind, come back anytime."
“是吗?没关系。但如果你改变主意了，随时回来。”
“That will not happen.”
“这是不可能的。”
“Haha, it remains to be seen."
“哈哈，还有待观察。”
It didn't take long to find out what Cheon Inho's words meant.
没过多久，我就明白了千妮奥的话的意思。
As the members of the Cheoldoo Group retreated, the other group members approached as if they had been waiting. It was the people of the marginalized group. They grabbed me and raised their voices.
当Cheoldoo集团的成员撤退时，其他成员走近，好像他们一直在等待。而是边缘化群体的人民。他们抓住我，提高了嗓门。
“Hey, is the rumour true?"
“嘿，谣言是真的吗?”
“Are you really monopolizing the food?"
“你真的垄断了食物吗?”
“Are you going to eat it all when there is enough to share with everyone?"
“当有足够的食物与大家分享的时候，你会把它们全部吃光吗?”
“We are all staying here! Why are you the only one to have it?"
“我们都要留在这里!为什么只有你一个人拥有它?”
"Leave the food to Inho-ssi! He will distribute it fairly!"
“把食物留给Inho-ssi!他会公平分配的!”
I knew what was going on. I could see the smiling face of Cheon Inho in the rear of the people. His lips were moving.
