I reflexively asked Yoo Jonghyuk, “Do you know these people?”
我条件反射地问柳钟玉:“你认识这些人吗?”
“Just one of them.”
“只是其中之一。”
Yoo Jonghyuk knew the Salvation Church? Well, he would’ve met them in the second regression. I was also familiar with the Salvation Church. According to the original novel, the Salvation Church was a group that completely abandoned the stereotypes of the word ‘salvation.’ 「 “There is no salvation in the afterlife.” 」
柳永玉知道救恩堂吗？他会在第二次回归中遇到他们。我也很熟悉救恩堂。根据最初的小说，救恩教会是一个完全抛弃了“救恩”这个词的刻板印象的团体“来世没有救赎”
The first sermon of the Salvation Church began with this.
救恩堂的第一次布道就是以此开始的。
「 “The most important thing is the story and ‘today’ is what we need to liberate ourselves from. 」
「最重要的是故事，而「今天」正是我们解放自己所需要的。」
At first glance, their doctrine had no problem. It gave importance to the present, not the past or the future. It was a story I heard many times even before the destruction came.
乍一看，他们的学说没有问题。它重视现在，而不是过去或未来。甚至在毁灭来临之前，我就听过很多次这样的故事。
The Salvation Church mumbled unintelligible words while leading enormous forces. The elephants making harsh cries were the 7th grade desert thorn elephants. There was a person among the people who could ‘tame’ the elephants.
救世教会一边领导着巨大的力量，一边含糊不清地说着一些莫名其妙的话。发出刺耳叫声的大象是七年级的沙漠荆棘象。人群中有一个人可以驯服大象。
“O-Ohhh…”
“哦......”
“The Salvation Church!”
“救恩堂!”
The incarnations cheered at the splendid appearance. I was a bit nervous. The Salvation Church had already appeared. Someone was intervening in the future I knew. It was also a very strong presence.
化身为人的人们为这光彩夺目的外表欢呼。我有点紧张。救恩堂已经出现了。我知道有人干预了我的未来。这也是一个非常强大的存在。
I heard a voice from the elephant in the front. “Young incarnations. The Salvation Church has come. We will free you from the scenario.”
我听到前面那头大象的声音。“年轻的化身。救世会来了。我们将把你从这种情况中解放出来。”
At these words, the Salvation members spread out their arms towards the incarnations. Some of the incarnations came forward.
听到这些话，救世会成员张开双臂迎向化身，一些化身出现了。
“…What do you mean by liberation from the scenario?”
“......你所说的从这种情况中解放出来是什么意思?”
“Literally what I said. I will give you freedom from the scenarios.”
“我就是这么说的。我会让你摆脱这种情况。”
The words were still elusive but they were appropriate to tempt the incarnations.
这些话语仍然难以捉摸，但它们适合用来诱惑人们投胎转世。
Liberation, freedom.
解放，自由。
Some incarnations were prepared but for most of the incarnations who were forced into this place, they were sweet words.
一些化身已经准备好了，但对于大多数被迫进入这个地方的化身来说，它们都是甜言蜜语。
“C-Can we become stronger if we enter the Salvation Church?”
“如果我们进入救恩堂，我们能变得更强大吗?”
Some incarnations were already convinced while others were more cautious. They believed in immediate power rather than vague words of ‘salvation.’ “Stronger…” A shadow moved on the palanquin atop the elephant. The gender of the voice couldn’t be identified. “What do you think strength is?”
一些化身已经被说服，而另一些则更为谨慎。他们相信直接的力量，而不是模糊的“拯救”“更强壮......”一个影子在大象身上的轿子上移动。声音的性别无法确认。“你认为力量是什么?”
Gazes focused on the man who asked the original question and he stuttered with a red face. “Well, strength is to be powerful… or to have strong skills! Isn’t that what it means?”
注视着提出原始问题的那个人，他红着脸结结巴巴地说。“嗯，力量就是强大......或者是有强大的技能！难道不是这个意思吗?”
“A strong power and strong skills… something like this?”
“一种强大的力量和强大的技能......是这样吗?”
Magic power slowly stretched from the palanquin and formed a gigantic palm. It was magic power manifestation. A technique that could be used by a returnee was being implemented by a mere incarnation in the scenario.
神奇的力量慢慢地从轿子里伸出来，形成了一个巨大的棕榈树。这是一种神奇的力量表现。一项可能被返回者使用的技术正在通过这个场景中的一个简单的化身得到实施。
[The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ is hostile towards the ‘palm’.]
[“金发囚徒”星座对“掌心”充满敌意。]
A huge palm that was overwhelming covered the sky and fell towards the man.
一个巨大的棕榈树压过来覆盖了天空，向那个人落下来。
“Waaaaahhhhh!”
“哇啊啊啊!”
Everyone screamed at the overwhelming magic. The moment the palm covered the incarnations, it transformed into wind and disappeared. A warm and gentle airflow surrounded the incarnation.
每个人都对着压倒性的魔法尖叫起来。在棕榈树覆盖化身的那一刻，它变成了风，消失了。一股温暖而柔和的气流围绕着化身。
“You are pursuing fleeting things. Strength and weaknesses are all images made by stories.”
“你追求的是稍纵即逝的东西，力量和弱点都是故事创造的形象。”
The curtain of the palanquin was lifted and something emerged. Like the bright sun rising, a light was emitted from the whole body. It was like a god descending as the light landed on the ground.
轿子的帷幕拉开了，有什么东西露了出来。就像明亮的太阳升起一样，一道光从整个身体发出。当光线落在地面上的时候，它就像一个神一样降临。
Then I realized something. I hadn’t thought that the ‘Salvation leader’ I knew would already come into the scenario. The incarnation who asked for strength hesitated and opened his mouth.
然后我意识到一些事情。我没有想到我所认识的‘救世领袖’已经进入了这个场景。那个寻求力量的化身犹豫了一下，张开了嘴。
“W-What does that… can I become stronger if I go under you?”
“那是什么......如果我在你下面，我会变得更强大吗?”
The lord of the Salvation Church spoke with a benevolent smile. “There is no meaning.”
救恩堂的主带着慈祥的微笑说:“这没有任何意义。”
“N-No meaning?”
“没有意义?”
“Poor living thing trapped in a pile of time. You are now being deceived by the story.” The hand of the Salvation leader touched the forehead of the incarnation. “Tell me. Who inspired you to be ‘strong’? Why do you want to be stronger?”
“可怜的活着的东西被困在一堆时间里。你现在被这个故事欺骗了。”救恩领袖的手触摸了化身的前额。“告诉我。是谁激励你变得坚强？你为什么想变得更强大?”
The incarnation opened his mouth like he was possessed. “T-That… being strong… can survive…”
道成肉身像着了魔一样张开了嘴。“那个......强壮......能够生存......”
“What does it mean to survive?”
“生存意味着什么?”
“To survive… is to survive! Become stronger and live…”
“生存...就是生存!变得更强大，更活...”
It was repeated like a silly song. However, maybe this was the most honest answer. The Salvation leader asked, “Is that your life?”
它像一首愚蠢的歌一样重复着。然而，这也许是最诚实的回答。救世主问道:“这就是你的生活吗?”
“W-What…?”
“什么......?”
“If you live all day in order to be stronger, where is your life?”
“如果你为了变得更强壮而活了一整天，那么你的生活在哪里?”
As if realizing something that he shouldn’t be aware of, the body of the incarnation shook.
好像意识到了什么他不应该意识到的东西，化身的身体颤抖着。
“My life is… huh?”
“我的生活是......嗯?”
Tears flowed from the man’s eyes. The man continued crying without understanding the meaning of his tears.
眼泪从那个男人的眼睛里流了出来。那个男人继续哭泣，却不知道他的眼泪是什么意思。
Whenever a human faced an incomprehensible emotion, they would try to forcefully gain an answer. Everyone watching the scene felt a sense of exaltation. It was as if they had been waiting for someone to fix the situation.
每当一个人面对一种难以理解的情绪时，他们都会试图强行获得一个答案。每个看到这一幕的人都感到欣喜若狂。就好像他们一直在等待有人来解决这个问题。
The Salvation leader wiped the tears of the man and some people sighed.
救世主擦干了男人的眼泪，一些人叹了口气。
“This is the trap of the story.”
“这是故事的陷阱。”
I looked up at the air and the dokkaebi seemed to be listening with interest. The leader of the Salvation Church declared, “Don’t be eaten in the future.”
我抬头望着天空，多卡比似乎在饶有兴趣地倾听着。救恩教会的领袖宣称:“将来不要被吃掉。”
Every word wedged in the hearts of the incarnations.
每一个字都嵌在化身的心里。
“Don’t be fooled by the salvation of the afterlife that will come someday.”
“不要被某一天会到来的来世的救赎所愚弄。”
All the incarnations who just entered the scenario watched spellbound. Whether they understood it or didn’t understand it, the words became a sound that permeated everyone’s heart.
所有刚刚进入这个场景的化身都看得入了迷。不管他们是否理解，这些话成为了一种声音，渗透到每个人的心中。
The Salvation leader continued speaking, “Salvation is here now and here is where you should be.”
救恩领袖继续说:“救恩现在在这里，你应该在这里。”
Live and protect the present. Regain human pride without being eaten in the future.
活在当下，保护现在。重新获得人类的骄傲，而不是在未来被吃掉。
“Struggle here! Then leave yourself with a new story! This is the only way to be liberated from the scenario!”
“在这里挣扎!然后给自己留下一个新的故事!这是摆脱这种情况的唯一方法!”
It was beautiful to hear. At least, if the person saying it wasn’t the ‘Salvation Church’s leader.’ I looked at Yoo Jonghyuk. “Yoo Jonghyuk.”
听起来很美妙。至少，如果说这话的人不是“救恩教会的领袖”的话我看着柳钟玉。“柳永玉。”
Yoo Jonghyuk was also pulling out a sword. There was a fierce killing intent on his face. “It is a great way to train a suicide unit with tremendous bullshit.”
柳永玉也拔出了一把剑。他的脸上有一种凶猛的杀戮意图。“这是训练一个胡说八道的自杀单位的好方法。”
The Salvation leader turned around at Yoo Jonghyuk’s words. The moment they locked eyes, Yoo Jonghyuk demanded, “You better turn it off and leave, Salvation Leader.”
救世主领袖听了柳钟玉的话，转过身来。当他们锁上眼睛的时候，柳永玉质问道，“你最好关掉它，离开这里，救世领袖。”
“You?”
“你?”
A vast wave of air seemed to encroach on the surroundings and the Salvation leader started to slowly fly to this side. The person wearing ghagra and flying in the sky gave off an exotic atmosphere like a fairy. The leader of the Salvation Church called out, “Yoo Jonghyuk?”
一股巨大的空气似乎侵蚀着周围的环境，救世领袖开始慢慢地飞向这边。穿着长袍的人在天空中飞翔，像仙女一样散发着异国情调的气息。救恩会的领袖喊道:「柳钟玉?」
Why? A beautiful smile spread on the face of the Salvation leader. “Yoo Jonghyuk! Do you know how long I have been looking for you?”
为什么？救世主的脸上绽放着美丽的笑容。“柳永玉！你知道我找你找了多久吗?”
He was stronger than any incarnation I encountered before. According to the original novel, it should be a long time before this person appeared. Thus, I wasn’t prepared for him.
他比我以前遇到的任何一个化身都要强壮。根据原著小说，这个人出现应该是很久以后的事了。因此，我没有为他做好准备。

…I got goosebumps the moment I got the information. Dammit, it really was him.
...我一得到消息就起鸡皮疙瘩了。该死的，真的是他。
The third way to survive in a ruined world. The person in front of me was the third method. The reincarnator, Nirvana. A human who wasn’t a human.
在一个被毁灭的世界中生存的第三种方式。我前面的人是第三种方法。转世的化身，涅磐。一个不是人类的人类。
“Yoo Jonghyuk!” It was a jubilant voice.
“YooJonghyuk!”这是一个喜气洋洋的声音。
I watched the man approaching and my palms became wet with tension. This person’s mindset was different from ordinary humans. No matter how much I read Ways of Survival, there was a limit to how I could take advantage of him. So, what should I do…
我看着那个男人走过来，我的手掌因为紧张而湿了。这个人的心态与普通人不同。不管我读了多少《生存之道》，我怎么利用他都是有限度的。那我该怎么办..。
Nirvana smiled brightly and spread open his arms. “Yoo Jonghyuk! Become one with me!”
涅槃明亮地微笑着，张开双臂。“柳永玉!与我合而为一!”
At this moment, I understood how I could use him.
此时此刻，我明白了我该如何利用他。

Nirvana clearly remembered the first moment he woke up in this ‘world.’ Funnily enough, Nirvana was a diving beetle.
涅槃清楚地记得他在这个“世界”中醒来的第一刻。有趣的是，涅槃是一只跳水甲虫。
‘…’
‘ ... ’
As soon as he opened his eyes, Nirvana was eaten by a frog. In the next life, Nirvana was born as a frog.
他一睁开眼睛，涅磐就被一只青蛙吃掉了。在来生，涅磐作为一只青蛙出生。
‘It wasn’t an easy life.’
生活并不轻松
In that life, he was eaten by a rattlesnake and died. Nirvana became a rattlesnake the life after that.
在那个年代，他被一条响尾蛇吃了，死了。在那之后，涅磐变成了一条响尾蛇。
‘At least I can eat frogs.’
至少我可以吃青蛙
In that life, Nirvana was killed by an anaconda. In the next life, Nirvana was born as an anaconda.
在那生命中，涅磐被一条蟒蛇杀死。在来生，涅磐作为一条蟒蛇诞生。
‘I will eat all snakes.’
我会吃掉所有的蛇
In that life, Nirvana evolved into a powerful monster. Soon after, he experienced the crisis of being hunted by humans. The humans blinded by rewards harmed him and Nirvana suffered great injuries. On the brink of death, Nirvana hid from the hunters in the forest.
在那一生中，涅槃进化成了一个强大的怪物。不久之后，他经历了被人类猎杀的危机。因奖赏而失明的人伤害了他，涅槃遭受了巨大的伤害。在死亡的边缘，涅槃在森林里躲避猎人。
However, he was noticed by a human.
然而，他被一个人类注意到了。
“…You look injured.”
“...你看起来受伤了。”
Why? The human didn’t hurt him. The man took care of his wounds and then released him into the forest. Nirvana couldn’t understand kindness but he remembered this man’s hand for a long time.
为什么？人类没有伤害他。这个男人处理好了他的伤口，然后把他放进了森林。涅磐无法理解仁慈，但他记得这个人的手很长时间了。
Then Nirvana was born as a human.
然后涅磐作为人类诞生了。
[The constellation ‘Mandala’s Protector’ is observing your life.]

Nirvana knew someone was watching him. He later realized it was a so-called constellation. Since then, Nirvana continued to be born as a human.
涅槃知道有人在监视他。后来他意识到这是一个所谓的星座。从那时起，涅磐继续作为一个人类诞生。
He became an excellent farmer and then the person who led the farmers. He became a soldier and then a sword master respected by soldiers. He was a slave and a noble who slaughtered slaves.
他成了一个优秀的农民，然后又成了农民的领袖。他成为了一名士兵，然后成为了一名受士兵们尊敬的剑术大师。他是一个奴隶，一个屠杀奴隶的贵族。
He experienced countless deaths and lived countless lives. He went through numerous scenarios. Then he realized that he was the only ‘special being’ in this universe.
他经历了无数的死亡，过着无数的生活。他经历了许多场景。然后他意识到他是这个宇宙中唯一的特殊存在。
‘Only I am reincarnated with all of my memories.’

This fact made him terribly lonely. He was lonely so he enjoyed life even more. He lived as if he could never survive again. Only once had he lived like he had ‘one life.’ He taught others how he lived. Then he survived alone.
这个事实使他非常孤独。他很孤独，所以更加享受生活。他活得好像再也活不下去了。只有一次，他过得像他只有一次生命他教别人如何生活。然后他独自活了下来。
One day, he received a message.
一天，他收到了一条信息。
