Jung Heewon was surprised.
郑鹤元感到很惊讶。
…Struggling? Anyone could see that Reinheit was evil. He deceived countless and produced monsters in this underground area. How could he not be evil?
在挣扎?任何人都可以看出Reinheit是邪恶的。他在这个地下区域欺骗了无数的人,制造了无数的怪物。他怎么可能不邪恶呢?
[The constellations of the absolute good system entrust the judgment to incarnation ‘Jung Heewon’.]
[绝对善良系统的星座将审判委托给‘郑希元’化身]
Reinheit opened his mouth. “If you kill me, Paradise will end.”
Reinheit张开了嘴,“如果你杀了我,天堂就会结束。”
Jung Heewon’s hell flames decreased at these words. There was a faint smile on Reinheit’s face.
听到这些话,郑希元的地狱之火减弱了,瑞海特的脸上露出一丝微笑。
“Jung Heewon-ssi, I didn’t expect you to be here.”
”郑平元-西,我没想到你会在这儿。”
“What…”
“什么......”
“You should’ve known. Paradise isn’t perfect. It is natural for a beautiful place to have a shadow.”
“你应该知道,天堂并不完美。一个美丽的地方有阴影是很自然的。”
Jung Heewon didn’t respond. Ignorance was a deception. Of course, she had thought about it. This place must be hiding some awful truth. She just didn’t think it would be this… “Why are you mass producing monsters? Are you going to conquer Dark Castle?”
郑鹤元没有回应。无知是一种欺骗。当然,她已经考虑过了。这个地方一定隐藏着什么可怕的真相。她只是没想到会是这样......“你们为什么要大量制造怪物?你要征服黑暗城堡吗?”
“I’m not doing anything. They are just the nutrients of Paradise.”
“我什么也没做,它们只是天堂的养料。”
A huge tree trunk could be seen in the centre of the cavern. Branches stretched out like tentacles towards the monsters in the vicinity.
在洞穴的中央可以看到一个巨大的树干。树枝像触手一样伸向附近的怪物。
Jung Heewon realized where the tree trunk was heading. The small flower that bloomed on the hill, the Perpetual Motion.
JungHeewon意识到树干的方向,山上盛开的小花,永动机。
Jung Heewon’s legs were shaking without her knowing. Surely this tree… “Isn’t it strange? Weren’t you curious about why the many demon species on Dark Castle don’t invade this place?”
郑熙媛的双腿在不知不觉中颤抖着。当然这棵树......“它不是很奇怪吗?难道你不好奇为什么黑暗城堡里那么多恶魔物种不入侵这个地方吗?”
She thought it was strange. It wasn’t enough to describe Paradise as a blessed fortress.
她觉得很奇怪,仅仅把天堂描述成一个受祝福的堡垒是不够的。
“Why are there so many demons in Dark Castle?”
“为什么黑暗城堡里有这么多恶魔?”
Rapidly moving branches grabbed the humans one by one. The prisoners screamed but there was no room for resistance. The rapidly moving branches tied around the prisoners’ bodies and three them into a hole in the trunk.
快速移动的树枝一根一根地抓住了人类。囚犯们尖叫着,但是没有反抗的余地。快速移动的树枝绑在囚犯的身上,三根树枝插进树干上的一个洞里。
A terrible noise was heard and then there was a scream like a soul was being castrated.
一阵可怕的噪音传来,接着是一声尖叫,就像一个灵魂被阉割了一样。
After a while, buds blossomed on the tree trunk. Jung Heewon sensed what would be born from the bud and shook. In less than a few minutes, a giant monsters was born from the bud. It was the human who had just been swallowed by the tree.
过了一会儿,树干上的芽开花了。郑鹤元感觉到了从花蕾中诞生的东西,他摇了摇头。在不到几分钟的时间里,一个巨大的怪物从萌芽中诞生了。这是刚刚被树吞噬的人类。
The Perpetual Motion was a tree that made demons.
永动机是一棵制造恶魔的树。
Jung Heewon kept trembling. “H-How can you do this?”
郑希元不停地颤抖,“你怎么能这样做?”
Why couldn’t she find any demon species near Paradise? Paradoxically, it was because Paradise itself was the source of the demon species.
为什么她在天堂附近找不到任何恶魔物种?矛盾的是,这是因为天堂本身就是恶魔物种的源头。
“The demons produced here are released every month on certain days. There is a limit to the capacity of the prison.” Reinheit smiled as he spoke. “Don’t look at me with those eyes. Being a demon isn’t necessarily a bad thing.”
“这里生产的恶魔每个月都会在特定的日子被释放。监狱的容量是有限的。”雷海特微笑着说。“别用那种眼神看我。成为恶魔并不一定是件坏事。”
“…”
“ ... ”
“They can have eternal life and are stronger than humans. In addition…”
“他们可以获得永生,并且比人类更强大。此外......”
The tree emitted a bright light and started to supply nutrients to the earth of Paradise.
这棵树发出明亮的光芒,开始为天堂的大地提供养分。
“Their sin is used to sustain the lives of other beings. In other words, they are martyrs.”
“他们的罪被用来维持其他生命。换句话说,他们是殉道者。”
It was the source that provided vitality for crops to grow on the barren land of Dark Castle. This was the role of the Perpetual Motion. Jung Heewon understood everything and felt desperate.
它为黑暗城堡这块贫瘠的土地上的庄稼提供了生命力。这就是永动机的角色。郑和元明白一切,感到绝望。
[The constellations of the absolute good system are demanding you make a choice.]
[绝对好系统的星座要求你做出选择。]
If she killed Reinheit, the underground prison would collapse. The Perpetual Motion would die and the system of Paradise would be destroyed. People would lose the land and their food. Then they would be torn apart by the monsters.
如果她杀了Reinheit,地下监狱就会倒塌。永动机将会灭亡,天堂的体系也将被摧毁。人们会失去土地和食物。然后他们就会被怪物撕成碎片。
“Why… why…” Knowing this, Jung Heewon couldn’t kill Reinheit. She had no confidence in condemning the source of the tragedy when she would cause a bigger tragedy.
”为什么...为什么...”知道这一点,郑希元不能杀死Reinheit。她没有信心谴责悲剧的根源,因为她会造成更大的悲剧。
“Somebody has to do it.” Reinheit’s face was sad. “Life continues for the losers of the scenario. Someone has to create a place for them.”
“总得有人做这件事。”雷海特的脸上带着悲伤。“对于这种情况下的失败者来说,生活还在继续。必须有人为他们创造一个空间。”
“If you really care for them, you should help keep the scenario going! Don’t make a place like this. Lead the people and try to clear the scenarios!”
“如果你真的关心他们,你就应该帮助他们继续前进!别把这地方弄成这样。引导人们,努力清除这些场景!”
“You don’t know. The enemy in the following scenario isn’t someone we can win against.”
“你不知道。下面这种情况下的敌人不是我们能打败的对手。”
Jung Heewon was surprised at his gloomy expression. The 2nd ranked demon marquis of Dark Castle. Who could cause him to feel such fear?
郑鹤元对自己忧郁的表情感到惊讶。排名第二的恶魔侯爵黑暗城堡。谁能使他感到这样的恐惧?
“…What do you know?”
“你知道什么?”
“That isn’t important. Even if you clear the following scenario… the ‘next’ one is always ready. More losers will be made.”
“这不重要。即使你清楚了下面的场景...下一个场景总是准备好了。将会产生更多的失败者。”
“We can clear all of them! It is a scenario. Won’t it end one day? Practice your skills and build your story…!”
“我们可以把它们全部清除!这只是一个场景。不会有一天结束吗?实践你的技能,构建你的故事......!”
“Do you think we can clear all the scenarios one day?”
“你认为我们有朝一日能排除所有的可能性吗?”
Jung Heewon closed her mouth. The end of all the scenarios. Her colleague Kim Dokja wanted to reach that place.
郑和元闭上了嘴。所有的情节结束了。她的同事金道佳想到达那个地方。
Reinheit continued speaking, “Do you believe peace will come at that time?”
Reinheit继续说,“你相信和平会在那个时候到来吗?”
Jung Heewon cried out with all her heart. “Yes. I believe.”
郑和元全心全意地喊道:“是的,我相信。”
“Why do you think so? Is there a single person who has reached the end of the scenario?”
“你为什么这么认为?是否有一个人已经走到了这个场景的尽头?”
“There are the constellations!”
“那是星座!”
“The constellations?”
“星座?”
“They exist outside of the scenarios. In other words, there is a way to escape from this scenario.”
“它们存在于场景之外。换句话说,有一种方法可以逃离这种场景。”
The constellations who treated the incarnations like toys. The existences of such ‘absolute’ beings actually gave hope. Someday they would be able to reach that place. They could get away from this hellish scenario.
那些把化身当作玩具的星座。这种绝对存在实际上带来了希望。总有一天他们会到达那个地方。他们可以逃离这个地狱般的场景。
“Ha. Haha, hahaha…” Reinheit laughed. “I see. The constellations. I understand your mind. I had thought so as well.”
“哈哈哈哈......”Reinheit笑着说。“我明白了。星座。我理解你的想法。我也这么想过。”
“What do you mean?”
“什么意思?”
“Why do you think that constellations cleared all the scenarios? Did Kim Dokja say so?”
“为什么你认为星座排除了所有的可能性?是金独子说的吗?”
Kim Dokja never said this. An ominous feeling entered her heart.
金东子从来没有说过这句话。一种不祥的感觉进入了她的心里。
“They certainly are outside the scenario. However, they are just ‘outside’ the scenario.”
“他们当然不在情景之内,但他们只是‘不在’情景之内。”
“…”
“ ... ”
“They are all doing scenarios like us. 76 times, 84 times. The size and number of scenarios vary but they are like us.”
“他们都在模仿我们的情节。76次84次。场景的规模和数量各不相同,但它们与我们一样。”
She had never thought of this before. Jung Heewon asked in a trembling voice, “T-Then…?”
她以前从来没有想到过这个问题,郑希元用颤抖的声音问:“那么......?”
“The constellations are just powerhouses beyond the standards, born in the middle of the scenario. They are neither gods or absolute beings.”
“星座只不过是超出标准的动力源,诞生于这种情况的中间。他们既不是神,也不是神。”
Reinheit spoke as if declaring an absolute proposition.
雷海特说话的样子好像在宣布一个绝对的命题。
“Let me tell you once again. No one has ever reached the ‘end’ of the scenarios.”
“让我再次告诉你们,没有人能够走到这些场景的‘尽头’。”
“…”
“ ... ”
“This world is eternal hell.”
“这个世界是永恒的地狱。”
Jung Heewon collapsed to the ground. Even the constellations couldn’t do it. Even the mighty beings couldn’t reach that place.
郑鹤元倒在地上,连星座都不行,连强大的生物也到不了那个地方。
Kim Dokja wanted to go to such a place.
金杜佳想去这样一个地方。
“Something like this… what do you want to do? Kim Dokja, you…”
“像这样的事情......你想做什么?KimDokja,你......”
Reinheit kept speaking. “That’s why I made Paradise.”
Reinheit不停地说,“这就是我创造天堂的原因。”
Jung Heewon stared blankly up at Reinheit.
郑和元面无表情地盯着Reinheit。
“If this continues, Paradise will someday collapse. The number of humans is decreasing and the number of demons is constantly increasing. The nutrients to sustain this land are running out.”
“如果这种情况持续下去,天堂总有一天会崩溃。人类的数量正在减少,而恶魔的数量却在不断增加。维持这片土地的养分正在枯竭。”
At the end of despair and desperation, he created the Paradise of Despair.
在绝望和绝望的尽头,他创造了绝望的天堂。
“I need a noble human to sustain this tree. There are many souls who entered this quarter. Kim Dokja is one of them.”
“我需要一个高贵的人类来支撑这棵树。有许多灵魂进入了这个区域。KimDokja就是其中之一。”
Jung Heewon realized what he was talking about. “That’s why I’m needed?”
JungHeewon意识到了他所说的,“这就是为什么需要我?”
“That’s correct. You are chosen by an archangel and will last at least 10 years. A constellation like Kim Dokja will be able to maintain the vitality of Paradise for more than 200 years.”
“没错。你是被一个大天使选中的,并且会持续至少10年。像金独子星座这样的星座将能够维持天堂的生命力超过200年。”
“Do you think I will just listen to you?”
“你以为我会听你的吗?”
“You will listen. It is because you are the incarnation of an archangel.”
“你会听的,因为你是大天使的化身。”
If she sacrificed herself, she would be able to protect Paradise.
如果她牺牲了自己,她就能保护天堂。
“If you help, there will be no need to punish people for minor offences for a while. You can save thousands, tens of thousands of lives.”
“如果你提供帮助,在一段时间内,就没有必要因为轻微的违法行为而惩罚人们。你可以拯救成千上万的生命。”
Jung Heewon’s shoulders trembled. She could save tens of thousands of people with her life. If she didn’t die, tens of thousands of people would die.
郑鹤元的肩膀颤抖着。她可以用自己的生命拯救成千上万的人。如果她没有死,成千上万的人将会死去。
She saw a monster reminiscent of a fish squirming on the ground. The face resembled the woman from Geumho Station. The monster stared at Jung Heewon with a hungry expression and roared.
她看到一个怪物,让人想起一条在地上蠕动的鱼。他的脸很像金河车站的那个女人。怪物盯着郑希元,面带饥饿的表情,咆哮起来。
“I…”
“我...”
It was an abandoned life anyway. Her parents, friends and the people who remembered her were all dead. The end of the scenario was impossible. Living any further was useless.
无论如何,这都是一种被遗弃的生活。她的父母、朋友和那些记得她的人都去世了。剧情的结局是不可能的。再活下去是没有用的。
“I…”
“我...”
[The constellations of the absolute good system are looking at you.]
[绝对良好系统的星座正在看着你。]
Jung Heewon made a decision. “I understand. Then I…”
郑鹤元做了个决定,“我明白,那么我......”
If she died to save tens of thousands of people, it was the right thing, the righteous thing.
如果她为了拯救成千上万的人而死,这是正确的事,正义的事。
Reinheit’s expression seemed to soften. At the last moment, something caught her.
雷海特的表情似乎变得柔和了,在最后一刻,有什么东西抓住了她。
‘Then what is my life?’
那我的生活是什么
It was probably empty.
可能是空的。
‘I… what the hell is this?’
我...这是什么鬼东西
It was the foolish last attachment to life. She already knew the answer.
这是对生命最后的愚蠢依恋,她已经知道答案了。
-Heewon-ssi is a good sword.
平原是一把好剑。
-You are calmer in front of the fire than any of us. In particular, you are sensitive to the tyranny of the strong.
你在火堆前比我们任何人都冷静。特别是,你对强者的暴政很敏感。
-You always fought at the head of the party and never complained about how difficult it was.
你总是领头打架,从来不抱怨这有多难。
It was because someone told her the answer already.
那是因为有人已经告诉她答案了。
-This is the Jung Heewon-ssi that I saw because you continued the scenario.
这就是我看到的JungHeewon-ssi因为你继续了这个场景。
Maybe Kim Dokja knew the reality of the scenarios from the beginning. Even so, he didn’t give up.
也许KimDokja从一开始就知道事情的真相,即使如此,他也没有放弃。
-That’s why I believe you should continue the scenario.
这就是为什么我认为你应该继续这个方案。
Jung Heewon stood up.
郑和元站了起来。
“I can’t die here.”
“我不能死在这里。”
Thus, she decided to be selfish. She decided to live, even if many people died from her choice. She had to live with it.
于是,她决定自私一点。她决定活下去,即使许多人死于她的选择。她不得不接受这个事实。
“No, you will die.”
“不,你会死的。”
However, sometimes their life and will were irrelevant.
然而,有时候他们的生活和意志是无关紧要的。
“Then you will become the nutrients of Paradise.”
“那么你将成为天堂的养料。”
There were a number of demons who couldn’t be dealt with even using Hell Flames Ignition. Jung Heewon’s expression tensed and she opened up all her magic power. She couldn’t die. She would never die.
有一些恶魔谁不能处理甚至使用地狱火焰点火。郑鹤元的表情紧张起来,她张开了她所有的魔力。她死不了。她永远不会死。
At this moment, there was an explosion and people appeared.
就在这时,发生了一场爆炸,人们出现了。
“Heewon-ssi!”
“平原西!”
“Ah, Unni went alone again!”
“啊,Unni又一个人去了!”
It was the people who sustained her life. Still, Reinheit didn’t panic. He smiled like it was good.
是那些人支撑着她的生活,但是,Reinheit并没有惊慌失措,他微笑着,好像这是一件好事。
“I’m able to get a lot of nutrients.”
“我可以获得很多营养。”
This person was the second strongest in Dark Castle. He wasn’t afraid of a group without Kim Dokja.
这个人是黑暗城堡中第二强壮的,他不害怕没有金独子的团体。
“Everybody stand back!”
“大家都退后!”
Lee Hyunsung stepped forward and protected his companions. He was much stronger than before but the situation was bad. Maybe someone would die in this fight. It would be lucky if all of them didn’t die.
李贤成走上前去保护他的同伴。他比以前强壮多了,但情况很糟糕。也许有人会死在这场战斗中。如果他们没有全部死去,那就太幸运了。
How good would it be if Kim Dokja was here? She tried to avoid depending on Kim Dokja but Jung Heewon couldn’t help having this thought.
如果KimDokja在这里会有多好?她试图避免依赖KimDokja,但JungHeewon忍不住产生了这种想法。
“This is your end.” Reinheit declared and raised his hand.
“你的末日到了。”Reinheit宣布并举起了他的手。
Then the entire ceiling collapsed. It was like bombs had poured down in succession. The ether storm ripped through the branches of the Perpetual Motion and the shattered ceiling fell towards Reinheit and the monsters.
然后整个天花板都塌了。就好像炸弹接连不断地落下来。以太风暴撕裂了永动机的树枝,破碎的天花板落向Reinheit和那些怪物。
The crushed monsters let out terrible screams. Somebody’s voice was heard among this chaos.
被碾碎的怪物发出可怕的尖叫声,在混乱中听到了某人的声音。
“You hid in a deep and dirty place.”
“你躲在一个又深又脏的地方。”
There was a man and the shadow of a woman chasing him. Yoo Jonghyuk faced the people looking at him with wonder and confusion and asked, “…By the way, where is Kim Dokja?”
有一个男人和一个女人的影子在追他。柳永玉面对着那些看着他的人,既惊讶又困惑,问道:“......顺便问一句,金杜佳在哪里?”
