这句话出现在《生存之道》中。
「 The great demons who live in the ‘horizon of the story.’ They aren’t demon kings or demon species, they are great demons. They are those who hate the dokkaebis as much as they seek and crave stories. 」
「生活在故事地平线上的恶魔」他们不是恶魔之王或恶魔物种，他们是伟大的恶魔。他们就是那些像寻找和渴望故事一样憎恨dokkaebis的人
Yes, this sentence.
是的，这句话。
「 If you are expelled from the scenario, there is only one thing to look forward to. It is to hope for mercy from the Great Demon of the Horizon. 」
「如果你被开除，只有一件事值得期待。」。希望得到地平线巨魔的怜悯
The Fourth Wall made it clear for me and I had nothing to say. I looked at the Great Demon of the Horizon.
第四道墙让我明白了这一点，我没有什么可说的。我看着地平线上的巨大恶魔。
He gave off a very old impression. At first glance, I feel like a vagrant but it wasn’t hard to recognize them. It was because every Great Demon of the Horizon had a big lump on their cheek. Due to that, some people called them the ‘wenny man’. (TL: wen=growth/swelling on the skin).
他给人一种非常古老的印象。乍一看，我觉得自己像个流浪汉，但不难认出他们。这是因为地平线上的每一个大恶魔脸上都有一个大肿块。正因为如此，一些人称他们为“温柔的男人”。(皮肤生长/肿胀)。
Light sparks appeared in the air and the wenny man stepped back.
空气中出现了火花，那个姑娘退后了一步。
“…It is unusual. I can’t see your information with the Great Demon’s Eyes.”
“...这是不寻常的。我不能看到你的信息与大恶魔的眼睛。”
There was a yellow glow in the eyes of the wenny man. It was an attempt to dig up my personal information.
那个姑娘的眼睛里闪着黄光。这是企图挖掘我的个人信息。
Great Demon’s Eyes. Anna Croft had the same eyes as the wenny man. It was natural. I’m sure that he was the one who gave Anna the information on the Great Demon’s Eyes.
伟大的魔鬼之眼。安娜·克罗夫特的眼睛和那个姑娘的一模一样。这很自然。我敢肯定是他告诉了安娜关于大恶魔之眼的信息。
The Great Demons of the Horizon were incomparable dangerous compared to Bihyung. I would be eaten if I underestimated him even a little bit.
地平线上的大恶魔》与Bihyung相比是无与伦比的危险。如果我稍微低估了他一点点，我就会被吃掉。
I deliberately delayed before opening my mouth. “My information can’t be read by the prophet. Isn’t your information network a bit slow?”
我故意拖延时间才开口。“先知读不懂我的信息。你们的信息网络不是有点慢吗?”
The wenny man frowned like his ego was hurt. “…Did you know I was coming?”
那个温柔的男人皱起了眉头，好像自尊心受到了伤害。“......你知道我要来吗?”
“Yes.”
“是的。”
“How?”
“怎么做?”
“You probably came to grab this.”
“你可能是来拿这个的。”
I pulled out the dokkaebi egg. The wenny man’s eyes shook. He knew what this egg contained.
我拿出了那个dokkaebi蛋。那个女人的眼睛在颤抖。他知道这个蛋里面装的是什么。
“The soul is mine.” At the same time, the great demon’s lump started to swell ominously. “I sent this soul here from another parallel dimension. I have ownership of the soul.”
“灵魂是我的。”与此同时，巨大的恶魔肿块开始不祥地膨胀起来。“我把这个灵魂从另一个平行维度送到这里。灵魂归我所有。”
He took one step closer while I stepped back.
他向前走了一步，而我则后退了一步。
“What are you talking about?”
“你在说什么?”
“…The soul should’ve returned to me from the Underworld. You intercepted it. I hope you return the soul before it is too late.”
”...灵魂应该从冥界回到我身边。你拦截了它。我希望你能及时归还灵魂。”
“Return? What was this bullshit? Is there a method to handle lost items in the Star Stream?”
“退货?这是什么狗屁东西?星流里有没有处理丢失物品的方法?”
The wenny man still stayed in the distance as he stared at the egg with deep greed in his eyes.
那个温柔的男人仍然站在远处，带着深深的贪婪目光盯着那个蛋。
I looked down at the egg. The presence in this egg was the Shin Yoosung from Yoo Jonghyuk’s 41st regression.
我低头看着这个蛋，这个蛋里的东西就是柳永玉41次回归中的那个辛优胜。
In a sense, the Great Demon of the Horizon was right. The person who turned Shin Yoosung into a disaster and sent her to this dimension was the wenny man in front of him.
从某种意义上说，地平线上的大恶魔是对的。那个把申友成变成灾难并把她送到这个维度的人就是他面前的那个女人。
The wrinkles on the wenny man’s face increased. “If you want to play with words…”
男人脸上的皱纹越来越多。“如果你想玩文字游戏......”
“Let me ask her directly. This kid has her own free will.”
“让我直接问她。这孩子有她自己的自由意志。”
I didn’t hesitate to tap on the surface of the egg and ask, “Yoosung, he is your master. What do you think?”
我毫不犹豫地敲了敲鸡蛋的表面，问道:“Yoosung，他是你的主人。你怎么看?”
The egg shook steadily. “Hrmm, I see. It is a no?”
鸡蛋稳定地摇晃着。“哈，我明白了。这是一个否定?”
“…Hey.”
“嘿。”
I ignored the wenny man and asked the egg again. “Then who are you?”
我不理睬那个女人，又问鸡蛋:“那你是谁?”
The egg shook even more. I nodded as if I understood.
鸡蛋抖得更厉害了，我点点头，好像明白了似的。
“Yes, a soul can’t belong to anyone. Just like no one can be the master of the story.”
“是的，灵魂不能属于任何人，就像没有人能成为故事的主人一样。”
No one could be the master of the story. A sharp look crossed the face of the wenny man who heard this. The Great Demon’s Eyes were spinning. He smiled like he found it interesting.
没有人能成为这个故事的主人公。听到这话的那个姑娘脸上掠过一个尖锐的目光。大魔鬼的眼睛在旋转。他笑了，好像觉得很有趣似的。
“How funny, Demon King of Salvation. Do you intend to negotiate with me now?”
“真有趣，救世魔王。你现在打算和我谈判吗?”
I was caught. I smiled and replied, “That’s right.”
我被抓住了，我笑着回答:“没错。”
“…Okay. Your behaviour so far has been interesting. However, if you want to negotiate, give me the egg first.”
“......好吧。到目前为止，你的行为很有趣。不过，如果你想谈判，先把鸡蛋给我。”
“Don’t you know what a negotiation is? This is a problem. I need this kid.”
“你不知道什么是谈判吗?这是个问题。我需要这个孩子。”
“You don’t know the value of that egg.”
“你不知道那个鸡蛋的价值。”
“No, I know.”
“不，我知道。”
The egg was glued tightly to my hand, like it didn’t want to leave. I lightly patted the egg.
鸡蛋紧紧地粘在我的手上，好像不想离开。我轻轻地拍了拍鸡蛋。
“Beings born from this egg can make a channel.”
“从这个蛋中诞生的生物可以制造一个通道。”
“…Do you know what that means?”
“......你知道这意味着什么吗?”
“It means I can broadcast outside the authority of the bureau.”
“这意味着我可以在局外进行广播。”
The wenny man faintly shook at my words. His confused fingers were heading for his beard.
听到我的话，那个温柔的男人微微地颤抖着，他那迷茫的手指正指向他的胡子。
I added, “In other words, this egg has the power to make countless stories. Isn’t that why you want this egg?”
我补充道:“换句话说，这个鸡蛋有制造无数故事的能力。这难道不是你想要这个蛋的原因吗?”
The wenny man was extremely surprised and he was silent for a moment. It felt as if he was trying to search my heart. However, he couldn’t find see inside me when even the Great Demon’s Eyes couldn’t see anything.
那个女人非常吃惊，沉默了一会儿。我感觉他好像在试图探索我的内心。然而，即使是大恶魔的眼睛也看不到任何东西，他却看不到我的内心。
“…Are you going to rebel against the Star Stream?”
“......你要反抗星流吗?”
“Rebel? Who knows? Does the bureau manage all of the Star Stream?”
“反叛者?谁知道呢?局里管理所有的星流服务吗?”
“Sometimes a part is the same as the whole.”
“有时候，部分和整体是一样的。”
“I don’t think that is true but… okay. If it is an answer you want…”
“我不认为这是真的，但是......好吧，如果这是你想要的答案......”
The eyes of the wenny man were turning like a camera lens. I knew what he wanted so I pointed to the night sky and deliberately spoke like a revolutionary.
那个姑娘的眼睛像照相机的镜头一样转动着。我知道他想要什么，所以我指着夜空，故意像一个革命者那样说话。
“I will destroy the world of the fucking dokkaebis.”
”我要摧毁多卡比斯的世界”
The face of the wenny man distorted. I knew what this creepy expression meant. This was his ‘smile.’
那个女人的脸扭曲了。我知道这个令人毛骨悚然的表情是什么意思。这是他的“微笑”
“I like it.”
“我喜欢。”
It was simple to gain the favour of the wenny man. I just had to blame the dokkaebis.
赢得那个少女的好感很简单，我只能怪多卡比斯。

The most widely known story about the Great Demons of the Horizon, or the ‘wenny man’ was probably the story about the ‘old man with a wen.’
最广为人知的关于地平线上的大恶魔，或者叫做“温柔的男人”的故事可能是关于“有温柔的老男人”的故事
It was a story we all heard at least once in our childhood.
这是一个我们童年都至少听过一次的故事。
A good-hearted wenny man got rid of his growth thanks to the dokkaebis while a bad-hearted wenny man got on more lump of growth because of the dokkaebis. (TL: Korean folk tale. You can watch the following video if interested. It is in Korean but you can get the gist of the story.
一个好心肠的小人因为多卡比斯而摆脱了自己的成长，而一个坏心肠的小人因为多卡比斯而获得了更多的成长。(韩国民间故事。如果你感兴趣，可以观看下面的视频。它是用韩语写的，但是你可以明白故事的大意。

I looked at the lump on the wenny man and asked, “Then are you on the good side or the bad side?”
我看着那个姑娘身上的肿块，问道:“那么你是好的一面还是坏的一面?”
“Humans always wonder about it. There is no guarantee I will take your side just because I am good.”
“人类总是对此感到好奇。不能保证我会因为自己是个好人而站在你这边。”
“Well, you have a lump so you are naturally bad.”
“嗯，你有个肿块，所以你天生就是坏人。”
“That folk tale has spread across the world. Stories handed down aren’t always accurate.”
“那个民间故事已经传遍了全世界。流传下来的故事并不总是准确的。”
“It is becoming increasingly clear that you are bad.”
“人们越来越清楚地认识到，你是个坏人。”
The wenny man shook like he was having a seizure. According to Ways of Survival, the ‘lump’ acted as a warehouse for storing stories. Countless tales inside that lump were waiting to find a new owner.
那个男人颤抖着，好像癫痫发作似的。根据《生存之道》的说法，这个“大块”充当了存储故事的仓库。无数的故事里面的一块等待找到一个新的主人。
The wenny man looked at his system window that shook like a pendulum and told me, “You asked for two things.”
那个温文尔雅的人看着他的系统窗口，窗口像钟摆一样晃动，他告诉我:“你要求两件事。”
I nodded.
我点点头。
“One is to go back to the scenario. The other is to acquire a new ‘incarnation body.’
“一个是回到那个场景，另一个是获得一个新的‘化身’。”
“That’s right.”
“没错。”
The ‘wenny man’ acted in places the dokkaebis’ channels couldn’t reach and played a role similar to the Star Stream’s black market trader.
这个温柔的男人在dokkaebis频道无法到达的地方扮演着类似于星流的黑市交易者的角色。
They got rewards for sending the exiles back to the scenario and they also saved unique items that the channel couldn’t obtain. Of course, the price was very expensive.
他们因为把流亡者送回场景而获得奖励，他们还保存了通道无法获得的独特物品。当然，价格是非常昂贵的。
“I can help you with both.”
“这两件事我都可以帮你。”
“Okay, then help me.”
“好吧，那就帮帮我。”
“Give me the egg in return.”
“把蛋给我作为回报。”
“No.”
“没有。”
“Then I can’t help.”
“那我就帮不上忙了。”
Damn, it was back to the start. It seemed that they were firmly attached to the dokkaebi egg. I decided to firmly hammer in the nail.
该死，又回到起点了。它们似乎牢牢地附着在dokkaebi蛋上。我决定用力钉钉子。
“I told you, I can’t give you the egg. You can’t use it even if you take it. The kid will only listen to me.”
“我告诉过你，我不能把蛋给你。即使你拿了它也不能用。这孩子只听我的话。”
“Don’t tell me… the egg grew by eating your story?”
“别告诉我......蛋是吃了你的故事长大的?”
“That’s right.”
“没错。”
“Mixing a dokkaebi with your stories, you are a filthy person.”
“把dokkaebi和你的故事混在一起，你是一个肮脏的人。”
“Shut up. I’ll give you something else.”
“闭嘴，我再给你点别的。”
“What can you give me?”
“你能给我什么?”
“A story. Isn’t it something you want in the first place?”
“一个故事，难道不是你一开始就想要的吗?”
Only the ‘stories’ were valuable in the Star Stream. Therefore, the wenny man received ‘stories.’ “…You are very confident. What type of story can you give me?”
只有“故事”在星流中是有价值的。因此，这个少女收到了“故事”“......你非常自信。你能给我讲一个什么样的故事?”
“I’ll show you.”
“我带你去。”
I opened the list of my stories.
我打开我的故事列表。

I never thought I would’ve collected so many stories. Of course, there were only six that were legendary grade and above, but it was a start.
我从没想过我会收集这么多故事。当然，只有六个人达到了传奇级以上，但这只是一个开始。
Perhaps I was the only one who had collected this number of stories by the 10th scenario.
也许我是唯一一个在第十个场景中收集到这么多故事的人。
In fact, the wenny man showed a hint of admiration. “I knew you were great but this is… really amazing.”
事实上，那个温柔的男人表现出了一丝钦佩，“我知道你很棒，但是这真的很棒。”
He didn’t hesitate to admire every story, like a guest in a luxury store. In particular, his eyes were filled with a deep ‘greed’ when he saw the legendary stories. The colour of the lump was red, seeming to show his excitement.
他毫不犹豫地欣赏每一个故事，就像一个在奢侈品店里的客人。特别是，当他看到这些传奇故事时，他的眼中充满了深深的“贪婪”。肿块的颜色是红色的，似乎显示他的激动。
“It won’t be hard to replace the egg.”
“替换鸡蛋并不难。”
“Of course.”
“当然。”
“Do I have to pick only one?”
“我只能选一个吗?”
“For now.”
“就目前而言。”
Of course, it depended on the value of the story. There were some I had no intention of trading all of them. That was equivalent to giving away everything that made me a constellation.
当然，这取决于故事的价值。还有一些我并不打算全部交易。这相当于放弃了所有让我成为星座的东西。
Then the wenny man picked a story without hesitating. “Then I will pick One Who Killed an Outer God.”
然后那个女人毫不犹豫地选了一个故事，“然后我会选一个杀死外神的人。”
“…Do you have no conscience?” It is the only semi-myth that I have.”
“......你没有良心吗?”这是我唯一的半神话
The value of a semi-myth grade story couldn’t be converted into coins. No matter how important the deal with the Great Demon of the Horizon, I couldn’t give him the semi-myth grade story.
半神话级故事的价值不能兑换成硬币。不管与地平线的大恶魔的交易有多重要，我都不能给他半神话级的故事。
Moreover, One Who Killed an Outer God would be useful when meeting another outer god.
此外，杀死外神的人在遇到另一个外神的时候会很有用。
The wenny man smacked his lips like he knew he had made an excessive demand. “Then this one isn’t bad either. I will choose King of a Kingless World.”
那个女人咂了咂嘴，好像他知道自己提出了一个过分的要求。“那么这个也不错。我会选择一个无王世界的国王。”
I shook my head. “It is my birth story. I can’t give it to you.”
我摇了摇头，“这是我出生的故事，我不能告诉你。”
“I see. Then Demon King of Salvation…”
“我明白了。那么救世魔王......”
“You want to give me to give you what made me a full constellation? My status will be demoted.”
“你想让我给你什么让我成为一个完整的星座?我的地位将被降级。”
“…It is unfortunate. Then how about Person who Opposes the Miracle?”
“......很不幸。那么反对奇迹的人呢?”
“There is a place I have to use that later. I’m sorry.”
“有个地方我一会儿得用，对不起。”
The dumbfounded wenny man stared at me with frustration. “Then what story are you going to give me?”
那个目瞪口呆的姑娘沮丧地盯着我，“那你要给我讲什么故事?”
“I’ll give you this. Silla Allied Forces.”
“我给你这个，新罗盟军。”
It was a history-grade story that I got from helping Lady of the Brocade Sleep and the Silla constellations. The wenny man’s face wrinkled. “Giving me that isn’t worth anything.”
这是一个历史级的故事，我从帮助夫人的织锦睡眠和新罗星座。那个女人的脸上布满了皱纹。“给我那个一文不值。”
…Wasn’t this too much? The Lady of the Brocade Sleep would shed tears if she heard this. It was a great story where Silla joined hands with the Tang Dynasty to hit at the Han ethnic group.
这是不是太过分了？如果织锦睡眠的女士听到这个，她会流泪的。这是一个伟大的故事，新罗与唐朝联手打击汉族群体。
“Then how about Bug Slaughter?”
“那么杀虫怎么样?”
“It is better than before but it is still a common story.”
“情况比以前好多了，但这仍然是一个常见的故事。”
“I’ll give you both of them. If necessary, the other history-grade stories as well…”
“我会给你们两个。如果必要的话，还有其他历史级的故事......”
“Can I take it that you have no intention of trading with me?”
“我是否可以认为你不打算和我做生意?”
Damn, he wasn’t an idiot like Bihyung. Bihyung was the one who changed the compensation rate from 10% to 0%.
该死，他不像必亨那么白痴，是必亨把赔偿率从10%提高到了0%。
