At this time, Bihyung was at the Seoul Administrative Branch of the bureau.
此时，比亨正在该局首尔行政分局工作。
It would soon be time for the Seoul Dome liberation scenario. All dokkaebis in the dome were busy trying to finish the scenario.
很快就到了解放汉城圆顶体育场的时候了。圆顶里的所有多卡比斯都在忙着完成这个剧本。
Bihyung walked through the halls of the bureau and saw newly hired low-grade dokkaebis moving along with the instructor.
比亨穿过教育局的大厅，看到新雇佣的低级多卡比斯和讲师一起走动。
Newly born dokkaebis. They received basic education at the branch’s education centre, were assigned their own channels and were reborn as streamers.
新生的dokkaebis。他们在分支机构的教育中心接受基础教育，分配自己的频道，然后重生为彩带。
“Don’t hesitate to intervene if the interest of the constellations fall. You can’t directly intervene in a given main scenario so use sub-scenarios to aggravate the conflicts between people or create a dangerous situation.”
“如果星座的利益下降，不要犹豫，要干预。你不能直接干预给定的主要情景，因此使用子情景来加剧人与人之间的冲突或制造危险的局面。”
“Don’t create situations where the constellations are annoyed by character conflicts. A good person is a good person, a bad person is a bad person. Make sure the dichotomy is clear. This way, the constellations can easily determine the objects of their anger.”
“不要制造星座被性格冲突烦扰的情况。好人就是好人，坏人就是坏人。确保二分法是明确的。这样，星座可以很容易地确定他们愤怒的对象。”
“Always induce the incarnation to be in the middle of the event. However, keep an eye on the main incarnation and make the event move around the incarnation. It also shouldn’t give off an artificial feeling.”
“总是诱导化身处于事件的中间。然而，保持对主要的化身和使事件围绕化身移动的眼睛。它也不应该给人一种虚假的感觉。”
The instructors spoke these words and the low-grade dokkaebis were busy taking notes.
讲师说着这些话，低等的多卡比斯忙着做笔记。
At one time, Bihyung had been one of them. He learnt how to proceed with the scenario and was taught how to smile and talk. It couldn’t be too strange or too cliche. Become a streamer who wasn’t disturbed by the scenario progression.
有一段时间，Bihyung就是其中之一。他学会了如何处理这个场景，也学会了如何微笑和说话。不能太奇怪或太陈词滥调。成为一个没有被情节发展打扰的流光。
“Are you remembering the old days?”
“你还记得过去的日子吗?”
Bihyung turned and saw the advanced dokkaebi Baram, the chief of the Seoul branch. Bihyung was nervous and his expression changed.
比亨转过身来，看到了高级的dokkaebiBaram，他是首尔分部的负责人。比亨很紧张，他的表情也变了。
Baram stroked his beard and stared at the low-grade dokkaebis. “It is a terrible sight. Every time it sounds refreshing to the constellations, but this is something learnt from the dokkaebis’ formal education.”
巴拉姆抚摸着他的胡须，凝视着低级的多卡比斯。“这是一个可怕的景象。每次听起来都令星座耳目一新，但这是从多卡比斯的正规教育中学到的。”
“It is somewhat inappropriate for an advanced dokkaebi to say this.”
“先进的多卡比说这样的话有点不合适。”
‘It is you who made the guidelines.’ Bihyung swallowed down these words.
“是你制定的指导方针。”比亨吞下了这些话。
Baram laughed bitterly. “It can’t be helped. These scenarios sell well.”
巴拉姆苦笑着说:“这是无可奈何的，这种情节很畅销。”
“There might be exceptions.”
“可能会有例外。”
“There should be. However, that ‘exception’ is possible because the ordinary scenarios are openly reviled.”
“应该有。不过，这种‘例外’是可能的，因为一般情况都会遭到公开辱骂。”
Some low-grade dokkaebis were gathered in front of the screens and watching the scenarios going on in Seoul Dome. On the screen, the stories of the incarnations belonging to the biggest channel in Seoul Dome were flowing. Bihyung’s face became a bit hot.
一些低级的“多卡比斯”聚集在屏幕前，观看在首尔圆顶体育场(SeoulDome)上演的场景。在屏幕上，属于首尔圆顶最大的通道的转世故事正在流动。比亨的脸变得有点热。
-Then I will be forced to kill you.
那我就不得不杀了你。
-Yoo Jonghyuk-ssi! No!
-柳永玉-西!不！
Yoo Jonghyuk and Lee Sookyung were confronting each other on the second floor of Dark Castle.
柳永玉和李秀京在黑暗城堡的二楼对峙。
-Damn, why isn’t ■■ and ■■■ coming out?
——该死，为什么“■”和“■”不出来？
-It will come out. I just don’t know when.
会说出来的我只是不知道什么时候。
On the other side, Kim Dokja and Han Sooyoung were discussing an unknown story in the Mechanical Gateway Array Method.
另一方面，KimDokja和HanSooyoung正在讨论机械网关阵列方法中的一个未知故事。
Bihyung was immersed in his thoughts. ‘I warned him not to say information that would be filtered, dammit.’
比亨沉浸在自己的想法中。“我警告过他，不要说那些会被过滤掉的信息，妈的。”
The advanced dokkaebi Baram opened his mouth. “Your channel is popular these days. Talk of your channel is everywhere in the Seoul branch. In particular, that incarnation…”
先进的多卡比·巴拉姆张开了嘴。“你的频道最近很受欢迎。在汉城的分部到处都在谈论你的频道。尤其是那个化身......”
“I also receive a lot of curses.”
我也受了许多咒诅
“That’s good enough. In any case, it is raising curiosity. Do you know that you are the number one dokkaebi respected by the low-grade dokkaebis these days?”
“这就够了。无论如何，这引起了人们的好奇心。你知不知道，你现在是最受低级的多卡比人尊敬的头号多卡比?”
“I want to know why you called me here.”
“我想知道你为什么叫我来这里。”
It was language that could seem somewhat rude but Bihyung had no other way. There would be a difficult situation if he didn’t go back to his channel right now. Baram was silent and Bihyung once again spoke.
这种语言似乎有些粗鲁，但是必亨别无选择。如果他现在不回到他的频道，情况将会很困难。巴拉姆沉默了，比亨又开口说话了。
“I’m sorry but it is entering the final phase of the ninth scenario. I have to go back to my channel…”
“我很抱歉，但它正进入第九种情况的最后阶段。我得回到我的频道......”
“That’s why I called you.”
“所以我才打电话给你。”
Bihyung saw Baram’s serious expression and realized something had gone wrong.
比亨看到了巴拉姆严肃的表情，意识到出了问题。
There was a loud noise from the screen and the full-fledged battle began. The incarnations with strong sponsors were fighting, raising synchronization in a reckless manner. Signs of a probability storm appeared all over the place.
屏幕上传来巨大的响声，全面的战斗开始了。拥有强大赞助商的前身们在争斗，以一种不计后果的方式提高了同步性。这个地方到处都可能出现暴风雨的迹象。
If such strong signs continued, the outer gods would gain the right to intervene. If so, Kim Dokja’s safety couldn’t be guaranteed. (TL: I will be changing gods from another world to outer gods from now on, to match certain aspects that appear in later chapters)
如果这种强烈的迹象继续下去，外界诸神将获得介入的权利。如果是这样的话，KimDokja的安全就不能保证了。(TL:从现在开始，我将把另一个世界的神变成外在的神，以配合后面章节中出现的某些方面)
The anxious Bihyung tried to leave this place when Baram spoke in a cold voice. “The constellations don’t want your intervention.”
巴拉姆用冷淡的声音说话时，焦急的比亨试图离开这个地方。“星座不想让你干预。”
Currently, Bihyung’s channel was the most influential one in Seoul Dome. The fact that Bihyung was clearly being kept in the Seoul branch made something obvious. “Since when has the Seoul branch been watching the constellations?”
目前，比亨的频道是最有影响力的一个在首尔圆顶。比亨显然被关押在首尔分部，这一事实让一些事情变得明显起来。“首尔分部什么时候开始监视星座了?”
“I’m always watching. I don’t just look at the education of the low-grade dokkaebis.”
“我一直在观察。我不仅仅关注低年级多卡比斯的教育。”
“Isn’t this what it looks like on the surface? The main scenario policy…!”
“这难道不是表面上看起来的样子吗?主要的情景政策......!”
“A large number of nebulae have complaints about this scenario.”
“许多星云都对这种情况有所抱怨。”
A large number of nebulae. Bihyung knew who they were right away.
许多星云，比亨马上就知道他们是谁了。
Olympus.
奥林巴斯。
Vedas.
吠陀经。
Papyrus.
纸莎草属。
…
The nebulae with influence in the Star Stream were interfering with the progress of this scenario.
受恒星流影响的星云正在干扰这一场景的进展。
Why? In fact, Bihyung knew why.
为什么?事实上，比亨知道为什么。
“It is because of that incarnation.”
“这是因为他的化身。”
Kim Dokja didn’t know anything and was still struggling against the Mechanical Gateway Array Method with Han Sooyoung.
KimDokja什么都不知道，还在和HanSooyoung一起和机械门户数组方法作斗争。
“At most, he is one incarnation. He can’t influence the entire scenario,” Bihyung refuted.
“他最多只是一个化身，他不能影响整个剧情，”必亨反驳道。
“Only one incarnation… do you really think so?”
“只有一个化身......你真的这么认为吗?”
“…”
“ ... ”
“No, he isn’t an incarnation anymore.”
“不，他不再是一个化身了。”
Before the 10th scenario arrived, an incarnation with no sponsor became a constellation. This was impossible considering the difficulty of the scenario.
在第十个场景到来之前，一个没有赞助商的化身变成了一个星座。考虑到这种情况的困难，这是不可能的。
“He will be a monster. Have you forgotten about the Goryeo’s First Sword incident? It is difficult to see such a non-standard existence again.”
“他会成为一个怪物。你忘了高丽的第一剑事件了吗？很难再看到这种非标准的存在。”
Goryeo’s First Sword, Cheok Jungyeong.
高丽的第一把剑，CheokJungyeong。
The strongest on the Korean peninsula and among the upper-grade constellations caused an incident.
朝鲜半岛和高等星座中最强的星座引起了一起事件。
Bihyung also knew about what happened at the time.
比亨也知道当时发生了什么。
A person who incited many grudges because his natural talent didn’t fit the balance of the scenario. A great deal of probability was consumed to ‘exclude’ him from the scenario, only for him to return as a ‘constellation.’ “Goryeo’s First Sword is a special case. Kim Dokja became a constellation faster than him but Kim Dokja’s potential itself isn’t high. If it is potential, the incarnation Yoo Jonghyuk has already reached transcendence…”
一个因为自己的天赋不符合剧情的平衡而引起许多怨恨的人。很大一部分可能性被消耗掉了，把他从这个场景中“排除”出去，结果他变成了一个“星座”“高丽的第一把剑是一个特例。KimDokja成为星座的速度比他快，但KimDokja的潜力本身并不高。如果是潜在的，柳钟玉的化身已经达到了超越......”
“I know. That isn’t too serious. In fact, Yoo Jonghyuk is the one who is similar to Goryeo’s First Sword. That’s why Kim Dokja is more dangerous.”
“我知道。这并不严重。事实上，柳钟玉就是那个与高丽的第一把剑相似的人。这就是为什么KimDokja更加危险。”
The frustrated Bihyung shouted, “I can understand some of the complaints of the constellations. Kim Dokja didn’t enter under them so they are annoyed.”
失望的比亨喊道:“我能理解星座的一些抱怨。金道佳没有从他们下面进去，所以他们很生气。”
“…”
“ ... ”
“However, isn’t this a situation where they have already taken action? Have there ever been any cases where ‘fate’ is used before the 10th scenario?”
“然而，这难道不是他们已经采取行动的情况吗？在第十种情况之前是否有过使用‘命运’的情况?”
“You are defending the incarnation.”
“你是在为化身辩护。”
“It isn’t defending! I’m talking about unfair treatment in the scenario!”
“这不是防守!我说的是场景中的不公平待遇!”
“I don’t think you are in a position to say that.”
“我不认为你有资格这么说。”
Bihyung was surprised but pretended to be calm. The advanced dokkaebi Baram smiled. “It’s fine. I didn’t call you here to catch your transgressions.”
碧亨很惊讶，但假装很平静。先进的dokkaebi巴拉姆笑了。“没关系。我叫你来不是为了抓你的罪过。”
It sounded like a threat where he intended to catch Bihyung’s transgressions. Bihyung asked, “Then why…”
这听起来像是在威胁他要抓住必亨的罪过。必亨问，“那么为什么......”
“If you’re smart then you would know. Haven’t you ever thought it was strange? Why are the constellations already using the excessive action that is ‘fate’?”
“如果你够聪明，你就会知道。你没有想过这很奇怪吗？为什么星座已经在使用‘命运’这种过度的行动?”
“…”
“ ... ”
“In most cases, they can peek at the future through their dealings with prophets who can use Future Sight, without using fate. If they anticipate how the target will behave, they can change the future with a moderate amount of probability. Yet they didn’t do that this time. Why?”
“在大多数情况下，他们可以通过与能够使用未来预见的先知打交道来窥视未来，而不必使用命运。如果他们预测了目标的行为，他们可以以适度的概率改变未来。然而这次他们没有这么做。为什么?”
It was something Bihyung had never thought about before. The power to force fate also placed a heavy burden on the nebulae. There were many powerful incarnations apart from Kim Dokja. Why force fate over Kim Dokja?
这是必亨以前从未想过的事情。命运的力量也给星云带来了沉重的负担。除了KimDokja之外，还有许多强大的化身。为什么要把命运强加给金道佳？
“Don’t tell me…?”
“别告诉我......?”
If the nebulae called for fate, it meant they had no choice but to use fate. In other words…
如果星云命中注定，那就意味着他们别无选择，只能利用命运。换句话说..。
The senior dokkaebi Baram nodded. “It means that no one in the Star Stream can see the future of Constellation Kim Dokja.”
老多卡比·巴拉姆点点头。“这意味着星流中的任何人都无法看到金星座的未来。”
“…How can that be?”
“......这怎么可能?”
“I don’t know either. One thing is for sure, many constellations are afraid that Kim Dokja will reach ■■. Hmm, it is still being filtered. So… it is all for the ‘end’.”
“我也不知道。有一件事是肯定的，许多星座都担心金道佳(KimDokja)会达到■。嗯，它还在被过滤。所以......这一切都是为了‘结束’。”
Baram’s gaze was fixed on the screen.
巴拉姆的目光固定在屏幕上。
“You need to do this. Once it is over, I will recommend you to be an advanced dokkaebi.”
“你需要这样做。一旦结束，我会推荐你成为一名高级的dokkaebi。”
It required a screening process to become an advanced dokkaebi. Bihyung already guessed what Baram would do.
它需要一个筛选过程来成为一个高级的dokkaebi。Bihyung已经猜到了Baram会做什么。
Bihyung watched the screen and unknowingly hugged the egg.
比亨看着屏幕，不知不觉地拥抱了鸡蛋。

“Hey, do a good job.”
“嘿，好好干。”
“I know.”
“我知道。”
Perhaps it was due to the former black flame dragon incident but the atmosphere with Han Sooyoung had become a bit subtle.
也许是因为以前的黑火龙事件，但是韩素英的气氛变得有点微妙了。
Han Sooyoung’s constant trying to start an argument was probably because she was aware of this awkwardness.
韩素英之所以不断地试图挑起争论，可能是因为她意识到了这种尴尬。
[The constellation ‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’ is smiling with satisfaction.] [The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ hates this atmosphere.]
[“深渊黑火龙”星座满意地微笑][“火之魔法师”星座讨厌这种气氛]
It took much longer than I thought to digest the power of Cheok Jungyeong. Four hours had already passed. I was sweating just controlling the power of his story.
我花了比我想象的更长的时间来消化CheokJungyeong的力量。四个小时已经过去了。我汗流浃背地控制着他的故事的力量。
My mother had probably met Yoo Jonghyuk by now.
我的母亲现在可能已经遇到柳钟玉了。
Han Sooyoung was sitting on the floor eating mugwort. Then she said, “By the way, I don’t think your mother is a bad person.”
韩素英正坐在地板上吃艾蒿。然后她说，“顺便说一句，我不认为你妈妈是个坏人。”
“…Did your mind become strange after eating some grass?”
“......吃了一些草后，你的思想变得奇怪了吗?”
“Well, the two of you seem to have a bad relationship. I don’t intend to meddle with someone’s family affairs… in any case, she is taking care of her child.”
“嗯，你们俩的关系似乎不太好。我不想干涉别人的家庭事务......无论如何，她是在照顾她的孩子。”
“How is this taking care?”
“这是怎么照顾的?”
“There are many parents in the world who have no interest in their children.”
“世界上有许多父母对自己的孩子不感兴趣。”
Han Sooyoung’s voice took on a darker tone. I sighed and replied to her, “My mother spoke to me about you. She thought I was dating you.”
韩素英的声音变得更阴沉了。我叹了口气，回答说:“我妈妈跟我说起过你。她以为我在和你约会。”
Han Sooyoung laughed. “Your mother has an eye for females.”
韩素英笑道:“你妈妈对女人很有眼光。”
“By the way, she thinks that Yoo Sangah-ssi is better than you.”
“顺便说一句，她认为柳善雅(YooSangah-ssi)比你强。”
“…So when are you going to kill that aunty?”
“......你打算什么时候杀了那个阿姨?”
We laughed. Once again, I realized how certain Han Sooyoung was. She was more like a character than anybody else these days.
我们笑了。我再一次意识到韩素英是多么的确定。如今她比任何人都更像一个角色。
Han Sooyoung stopped laughing. “We sound like characters.”
韩素英停止了笑声，“我们的声音像人物。”
It was as if she read my mind. My heart started pounding. Han Sooyoung didn’t know it but one day, she would become a ‘character.’ It was just like Lee Sungkook and Jung Minseob.
她好像读懂了我的心思。我的心开始怦怦直跳。韩素英并不知道，但有一天，她会成为一个“角色”就像LeeSungkook和JungMinseob。
I liked both characters and non-characters, so I didn’t know if it was a good or a bad thing. Just… I felt unsure when I thought about that time. Why didn’t I want this person to become a character?
我喜欢角色和非角色，所以我不知道这是好事还是坏事。只是...当我想起那段时光时，我感到不确定。为什么我不想让这个人成为一个角色？
“Eh? Something has changed?”
“嗯?有什么变化吗?”
I looked down at my right hand after hearing Han Sooyoung’s words. The power of the story borrowed from Cheok Jungyeong was finally stabilizing. I nodded.
