Episode 5 – Shadow Keeper (2)
第五集-影子守护者(2)
The party fought well. It was actually a little bit surprising. In particular, Lee Hyunsung and Jung Heewon who stepped forward with me were very influential.
这个党打得很好。这实际上有点令人惊讶。尤其是李贤成和郑希元，他们和我一起挺身而出，非常有影响力。
The battle composition naturally became the three of us in front with the other three in the rear. Less than a minute after the battle began, a few ground rats were stuck on the ground with their necks pierced.
战斗布局自然成了我们三个在前面，其他三个在后面。战斗开始后不到一分钟，几只地面老鼠被卡在地上，脖子被刺穿。
Lee Hyunsung overpowered another ground rat, wiped the sweat on his forehead and said.
李贤星制服了另一只地鼠，擦了擦额头上的汗，说。
"…I think I can live."
“我想我能活下去。”
Once they raised their overall stats, the human race wasn't that weak.
一旦他们提高了他们的总体数据，人类就不再那么弱小了。
Even so, Lee Hyunsung's mentality was very special in this world. A normal human couldn't be so nonchalant when encountering monsters.
即便如此，李贤星的心态在这个世界上还是很特别的。一个正常的人在遇到怪物的时候不可能这么漫不经心。
There was a reason why he got the name of Steel Sword in the future. However, the more amazing person was Jung Heewon.
这就是为什么他将来得到钢剑这个名字的原因。然而，更令人惊奇的是郑希元。
“The pattern is simpler than I thought?"
“这个模式比我想象的要简单?”
Maybe it was due to the Kendo skill but every time her sword stretched out, the ground rat was cut somewhere on their legs or tail.
也许是因为剑道的技巧，但是每次她的剑伸出来，地鼠的腿或者尾巴上的某个地方就会被割伤。
"Hap!"
“哈普!”
It was a case where Jung Heewon invested most of her coins into strength. Her endurance declined due to it but the power of one blow was better than I thought.
在这个案例中，JungHeewon把她的大部分金币都投入到了实力上。由于这个原因，她的忍耐力下降了，但是一击的力量比我想象的要强。
Hwiik!
喂！
Her sword moved in a terrifying manner through the air.
她的剑在空中以一种可怕的方式移动。
“Damn, I lost one! Please!"
“该死，我弄丢了一个!求你了!”
Her voice trembled as she spoke. Her only weakness was that her stamina was low so her endurance fell.
她说话时声音颤抖，唯一的弱点就是体力不足，所以忍耐力下降了。
Grrr!
啊！
The ground rats who moved between the party members were moderately smart. After succeeding in scattering the ranks, they ran towards the opponent who seemed the weakest using a hunter's instincts.
在党员之间来回走动的地面鼠还算聪明。在成功地分散队伍后，他们利用猎人的本能向看起来最弱的对手跑去。
"Leave it to me."
“交给我吧。”
However, the ground rats didn't know that they had picked the wrong opponent.
然而，地面老鼠并不知道它们选错了对手。
Peeok!
皮欧克！
A blunt instrument thrown by Lee Gilyoung's hands struck the head of a ground rat. The impact was lacking because he was a child but it was enough. The others could help him finish it.
LeeGilyoung双手扔出的一个钝器击中了一只地鼠的头部。虽然他还是个孩子，但这已经足够了。其他人可以帮助他完成它。
Puok!
普克！
Yoo Sangah's spear pierced the body of the ground rat. The ground rat twisted several times. Yoo Sangah made a confused expression but she didn't remove her hand from the spear.
柳桑加的长矛刺穿了地鼠的身体。地鼠扭动了几下。刘尚雅表情困惑，但她没有把手从矛上拿开。
The ground rat lost its energy and fell down.
地鼠失去了能量，摔倒了。
I honestly thought it would be difficult for Yoo Sangah to adapt but I was really surprised. Usually, it was normal to panic like Han Myungoh standing over here.
我真的以为刘尚雅很难适应，但是我真的很惊讶。通常，像韩明武站在这里这样的惊慌是很正常的。
"U-Uhhhh…"
“ uhhhh... ”
As the people were struggling, one person was hiding in the rear. He couldn't even hide properly and was bleeding near the shins.
当人们在挣扎的时候，有一个人躲在后面。他甚至无法正常地躲藏，胫骨附近在流血。
I pierced the last ground rat with the thorn and the surroundings became quiet.
我用荆棘刺穿了最后一只地鼠，四周变得安静下来。
I shook the blood off the thorn and looked at everyone. Everyone suffered from minor abrasions except for Han Myungoh, but there were no major injuries.
我把刺上的血抖掉，看着每一个人。除了HanMyungoh，每个人都有轻微的擦伤，但没有人受重伤。
It was a great first victory.
这是一次伟大的第一次胜利。
Yoo Sangah and Lee Gilyoung relaxed and sat down, while Lee Hyunsung stabbed his spear into the ground and wiped at the sweat on his forehead. Jung Heewon lamented as she countered the number of ground rats in the vicinity.
柳善雅和李吉英放松下来，坐了下来，而李贤星用长矛刺进地面，擦了擦额头上的汗水。JungHeewon在反驳附近地面鼠的数量时感到悲伤。
“…Dokja-ssi, how many did you take care of?"
“......Dokja-ssi，你照顾了多少人?”
"Four of them."
“有四个。”
"Che, I killed two."
“切，我杀了两个。”
“I got three."
“我有三个。”
My pride was somehow hurt when I heard Lee Hyunsung's proud declaration. There was only one difference despite my stats. I used a skill and looked at Lee Hyunsung's attributes window.
当我听到李贤成骄傲的宣言时，我的自尊心受到了伤害。不管我的统计数据如何，只有一个区别。我使用了一个技能，并且查看了LeeHyunsung的属性窗口。

Hah, the starter pack. This was why he was strong. The Master of Steel seemed to quite like Lee Hyunsung.
哈，起跑器。这就是他强壮的原因。钢铁大师似乎很喜欢李贤星。
The Starter Pack was a coin package that could be used when the average overall stats of the incarnation was less than level 10.
入门包是一个硬币包，可以使用的时候，平均整体统计的化身是不到10级。
It was a good item that allowed you to learn Weapons Training, a useful skill in the beginning, while raising the level of the overall stats by one.
这是一个很好的项目，可以让你学习武器训练，一个有用的技能在开始，同时提高一个水平的总体统计。
Considering the fact that most incarnations were being exploited for nothing, Lee Hyunsung was lucky to receive the Starter Pack.
考虑到大多数化身都被剥削得一无所有，李贤星很幸运地收到了起跑包。
“Dokja-ssi, your complexion doesn't look good…"
“Dokja-ssi，你的脸色不太好......”
"Ah, no. I was just thinking for a moment."
“啊，不，我只是想了一会儿。”
Now I was a little bit envious…well, I had the money to buy it. I didn't buy it. My average stats exceeded level 10 so buying it would only damage me.
现在我有点嫉妒了......好吧，我有钱买它。我没有买。我的平均属性超过了10级，所以买它只会损害我。
Damn, I opened the Dokkaebi Bag a bit early.
该死，我提前打开了Dokkaebi包。
“Let's gather up the ground rats. We need to prepare today's food.”
“让我们收集地里的老鼠。我们需要准备今天的食物。”
“Ummm…by the way, how will we cook it? We can't eat it like this."
“嗯......顺便问一下，我们怎么做呢?我们不能这样吃。”
“We can't eat it now but there will be a way."
“我们现在不能吃，但会有办法的。”
I guessed I answered too calmly. There was silence among my party members. Lee Hyunsung was the first one to open his mouth.
我猜我回答得太平静了。我的党员们一片沉默。李贤成是第一个开口的人。
"Excuse me, I would like to ask you one thing."
“对不起，我想问你一件事。”
"Yes?"
“什么事?”
“Dokja-ssi, perhaps…do you know something about this situation?"
“Dokja-ssi，也许......你知道这种情况吗?”
Whoops, I made a mistake.
哎呀，我犯了个错误。
“That…”
“那个......”
Suddenly, I remembered the regressors in the novel I read, followed by Yoo Jonghyuk's words.
突然，我想起了我读过的小说中的记忆回归者，然后是柳荣久的话。
It was like this. The feeling of a regressor. Usually, these types of things happened to a regressor.
就像这样。回归者的感觉。通常，这些类型的事情发生在回归者身上。
Some replies came to mind. I could shamelessly say that it was a hunch or I could lie like Yoo Jonghyuk.
我想到了一些答案。我可以无耻地说这是一种预感或者我可以像YooJonghyuk一样撒谎。
[The constellation Secretive Plotter is anticipating your choice.]
[星座秘密策划者期待着你的选择]
[A few constellations are anticipating your answer.]
[有几个星座在期待你的答案]
But from a reader's point of view, the best answer was…
但是从读者的角度来看，最好的答案是.....。
“A-Aaaack!"
“啊——啊——啊!”
It was to create a situation where I didn't need to say anything.
这是为了创造一个我不需要说任何话的环境。
[The constellation 'Secretive Plotter' nods at your choice.]
[“秘密策划者”星座随你选择。]
“There is still one left!"
“还剩一个!”
Jung Heewon shouted and Lee Hyunsung ran. However, the action of the hidden ground rats was faster than anyone else. It was much bigger than the other creatures.
郑和元喊道，李贤星跑了。然而，隐藏在地面上的老鼠的行动比任何人都要快。它比其他生物大得多。
"S-Save me…!"
“ S-Save me... ! ”
It dragged Han Myungoh into a tunnel by one of his legs. The nearest Yoo Sangah swung her spear but the situation got worse because Han Myungoh held onto her.
它用韩明武的一条腿把他拖进了一条隧道。离她最近的刘尚雅挥舞着她的长矛，但情况变得更糟，因为HanMyungoh抓住了她。
"Grab this!"
“抓住这个!”
Lee Hyunsung stretched out the handle of his spear but it only hit the ground. The ground rat and the two people had already disappeared into the ground.
李贤星伸出他的长矛柄，但它只击中了地面。地鼠和两个人已经消失在地下了。
[The constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' resents this frustrating person.]
[“金发囚徒”星座讨厌这个令人沮丧的人]
Jung Heewon burst out.
郑和元爆发出来。
“Ah…I knew I was going to get cancer because of that uncle."
“啊......因为那个叔叔，我知道我会得癌症。”
"…I'm sorry. I was too late."
“对不起，我来晚了。”
Lee Hyunsung spoke in a sad voice. I tapped his shoulder to show it was okay.
李贤星用悲伤的声音说，我拍了拍他的肩膀表示没事。
“No one could've done anything."
“没有人可以做任何事。”
"Should we chase after them?"
“我们应该追赶他们吗?”
I looked at the hole where they had disappeared. It wasn't an ordinary hole. There was a touch of energy around it. The darkness gave off a gloomy feeling.
我看着他们消失的那个洞。这不是一个普通的洞。它周围有一点能量。黑暗给人一种阴郁的感觉。
I retreated to the back and turned on my smartphone. There was only 5% battery remaining. At dawn, I exchanged one battery charge for food with a person from the marginalized group.
我退到后面，打开我的智能手机。只剩下5%的电池了。黎明时分，我与一个来自边缘群体的人交换了一次用电池充电的食物。
[Your reading speed has increased due to the effect of the exclusive attribute.]
[由于独占属性的影响，你的阅读速度提高了。]
Shortly afterwards, I was able to find the desired passage.
不久之后，我就找到了我想要的路线。
「 …The 'Edge of Darkness' is the habitat of the ground rats and is a type of subspace emitted from the 'Dark Root.' The ground rats that breath in black ether instead of oxygen don't grow naturally unless they are near the 'Edge of Darkness'… 」
「黑暗边缘」是地面鼠的栖息地，是「黑暗根」发出的一种亚空间地面老鼠呼吸的是黑色乙醚而不是氧气，除非它们在“黑暗边缘”附近，否则它们不会自然生长
It was a fact that I knew roughly but it was meaningful to review it. That's right. This was the entrance to the Edge of Darkness. I read about it and put the smartphone in my pocket.
这是一个事实，我粗略地知道，但它是有意义的回顾。没错。这是通往黑暗边缘的入口。我读了这本书，然后把智能手机放进了口袋。
"Dokja-ssi?"
“ Dokja-ssi? ”
Lee Hyunsung was looking at me with a frustrated expression. I nodded.
李贤成带着沮丧的表情看着我，我点点头。
"We will enter."
“我们将进入。”
"Ah, then…"
“啊，那么......”
“But it very dangerous to enter with a lot of people. Lee Hyunsung-ssi and Jung Heewon-ssi will wait here at the boundary. If something happens, I will give you a signal."
“但是带着很多人进去是非常危险的。李贤贤和郑希元将在边界这里等候。如果发生什么事，我会给你一个信号。”
The startled Jung Heewon asked.
受到惊吓的郑鹤元问道。
“Surely…you don't intend to go with only Gilyoung?"
“当然......你不是打算只跟吉英一个人去吧?”
“Gilyoung's ability will be helpful in pursuing them."
“吉林的能力将有助于实现这些目标。”
The moment she tried to strongly resist, I raised a hand and called to Lee Hyunsung.
当她试图强烈反抗的时候，我举起一只手，叫李贤星。
“Lee Hyunsung-ssi. Jung Heewon-ssi isn't in a good condition so please take care of her."
“李贤星。郑希元的身体状况不太好，请照顾好她。”
Lee Hyunsung seemed to realize something.
李贤星似乎意识到了一些事情。
“I understand."
“我明白。”
“Wait a minute. I am fine!"
“等一下，我很好!”
“Jung Heewon, confidence is good but don't be reckless."
“郑鹤元，自信是好的，但不要鲁莽。”
"…"
"..."
Jung Heewon's breathing was uneven. She wasn't completely healed from the poisonous fog.
郑熙媛的呼吸不平稳，她还没有完全从毒雾中痊愈。
I left the two people and entered the hole with Lee Gilyoung. It was obviously a hole that was dug down in a vertical slope. But as soon as we entered, we could stand as if gravity was in effect.
我离开了那两个人，和LeeGilyoung一起进了洞里。很明显，这个洞是在一个垂直的斜坡上挖的。但是一旦我们进入，我们就可以站立好像重力在起作用。
It was due to the magic power emitted by the Edge of Darkness.
这要归功于黑暗边缘所发出的魔力。
"This way."
“这边走。”
The darkness was so deep that I couldn't see anything, so I could only move forward with Lee Gilyoung. Black ether had the property of absorbing light, making a flashlight meaningless. If Lee Gilyoung's ability Diverse Communication wasn't available, I might have to use coins again.
黑暗如此之深，我什么也看不见，所以我只能和LeeGilyoung一起向前走。黑以太具有吸收光的特性，使得手电筒变得毫无意义。如果LeeGilyoung的“多元交流”能力不可用，我可能不得不再次使用硬币。
“Excuse me Hyung."
“对不起，Hyung。”
Lee Gilyoung called out to me.
李·吉林对我喊道。
“Did you do it on purpose?"
“你是故意的吗?”
"…What?"
“什么?”
“When that uncle grabbed Noona and Ahjussi, you let it go."
“当那个叔叔抓住诺娜和大叔的时候，你就放手了。”
I had a moment of hesitation. In the darkness, Lee Gilyoung's fingertips were strange. Before I could ask how he knew, Lee Gilyoung spoke.
我犹豫了片刻。在黑暗中，LeeGilyoung的指尖显得很奇怪。我还没来得及问他是怎么知道的，李·吉林就开口了。
“At that time, I was looking at Hyung's face."
“当时，我正看着阿兵哥的脸。”
He was watching me even in those short moments. A very scary kid. It was no good hiding from a person who was so quick.
即使在那些短暂的时刻，他也在注视着我。一个很可怕的孩子。躲避一个如此敏捷的人是没有用的。
“Yes, that’s right.”
“是的，没错。”
The answer was terrible and a message bomb was set off in my head. Indeed, this was a spectacle for the constellations.
答案是可怕的，一个信息炸弹在我的脑海里爆炸。的确，这对星座来说是一个奇观。
[The constellations of absolute good frown at your cruelty.] [The constellation Secretive Plotter is pressing you with shining eyes.]
[绝对善良的星座对你的残忍皱眉][神秘的星座密谋者用闪亮的眼睛紧紧地盯着你]
"Why did you do that?"
“你为什么要这么做?”
“Because of the habit of the ground rats."
“因为地鼠的习性。”
I decided to answer honestly.
我决定诚实地回答。
“The ground rats have a habit of keeping their catches in the same place as their treasure. It isn't just food. Many things that seem rare are gathered. For example, an item. However, the paths are so complicated that it can't be found unless I follow their path directly."
“地鼠有一个习惯，就是把它们的捕获物和它们的宝藏放在同一个地方。这不仅仅是食物。许多看似稀有的东西被收集起来。例如，一个项目。然而，路径是如此复杂，除非我直接沿着它们的路径走，否则就无法找到它们。”
