The texture of the dull quilt touched skin.
暗色被子的纹理触到了皮肤。
Jung Heewon didn’t know how long it had been since she enjoyed a luxury like this. Everything was peaceful. She didn’t need to be afraid of being attacked by monsters in the night or watch out for humans trying to steal her items.
JungHeewon不知道她有多久没有享受过这样的奢侈了。一切都很平静。她不需要害怕在夜晚被怪物攻击，也不用担心人类会偷走她的东西。
However, Jung Heewon was well aware that this peace wouldn’t last long.
然而，郑鹤元很清楚这种和平不会持续很久。
“Jung Heewon-ssi! Please open the door!”
“郑鹤元-西!请开门!”
“I’m asking you for an interview!”
“我在请求你接受我的采访!”
For a week, reporters had been clamouring in front of the house. She could glimpse flashes of light through the curtains. In front of the ruthless gazes of the cameras, Jung Heewon felt a strong sense of deja vu.
一个星期以来，记者们一直在房子前吵吵闹闹。她可以透过窗帘瞥见闪烁的灯光。在摄像机无情的注视下，郑和元有一种强烈的似曾相识的感觉。
“…It isn’t just the constellations who are voyeurs.”
“偷窥者不仅仅是星座。”
[The constellation ‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’ is chuckling.] [The constellation ‘Secretive Plotter’ agrees with your thoughts.]
[深不可测的黑色火龙星座正在发笑][神秘的密谋者星座与你的想法一致]
Jung Heewon felt a new sense of emotion at all the gazes on her. Before the scenario began, the forms were different but there were similar things.
在所有的目光都注视着她的时候，郑鹤元感到一种新的情感。在这个场景开始之前，形式是不同的，但有相似的东西。
The voyeuristic gazes and the struggle for survival. In this sense, the scenario might be around before the ‘scenario’ even started. Nobody knew it was a ‘scenario.’
偷窥的目光和生存的挣扎。从这个意义上说，这个场景可能在“场景”开始之前就已经存在了。没有人知道这是一个“情景”
Through the window, she saw the broken city area and the blocked Seoul Dome. It had already been a week since they left Seoul Dome but Jung Heewon couldn’t believe she was out of the dome.
透过窗户，她看到了破碎的城市区域和封锁的首尔圆顶。他们离开汉城圆顶体育馆已经一个星期了，但郑和元不敢相信自己已经离开了圆顶体育馆。
“Heewon unni! Did you just wake up?”
“熙媛姐，你醒了吗?”
“Ah yes, Jihye.”
“啊，是的，智慧。”
Jung Heewon smiled helplessly as Lee Jihye burst through the door.
当李智慧冲进门的时候，郑希元无助地笑了。
It had been one week after the escape from Seoul Dome. Many things had happened in the meantime.
从首尔圆顶山逃离已经一个星期了，同时发生了许多事情。
Jung Heewon and the group were assisted with homes by the provisional government in the Gyeonggi area and were invited to the institute to answer a few questions. They were obvious questions.
JungHeewon和他的团队得到了位于Gyeonggi地区的临时政府的家庭援助，并被邀请到该研究所回答一些问题。这些都是显而易见的问题。
What happened inside Seoul Dome?
首尔圆顶内发生了什么？
Were the rumours on the Internet true?
互联网上的谣言是真的吗？
How many people were like them and what ideas did they have?
有多少人和他们一样，他们有什么想法？
What were the constellations and the scenario?
星座和场景是什么？
At first, Jung Heewon faithfully answered the questions as the representative. Then over time, the whole thing became annoying.
起初，郑鹤元作为代表忠实地回答了问题，但随着时间的推移，整件事变得令人厌烦。
She wondered what was the point in doing this?
她不知道这样做有什么意义？
The South Korean government had already disappeared. The provisional government, made up of some lucky parliament and city council members, had no idea what had happened. They still firmly believed that the ‘state’ system would be meaningful in the face of future scenarios. For those who were still stuck to old beliefs despite the new era, Jung Heewon had something to say to them.
韩国政府已经消失了。由一些幸运的议会和市议会成员组成的临时政府不知道发生了什么。他们仍然坚信，面对未来的情况，“国家”体系将是有意义的。对于那些在新时代仍然坚持旧信仰的人，郑和元有话要对他们说。
-Take off your suits and your ties first.
-先脱掉西装和领带。
-Huh?
什么？
-They aren’t good outfits to run away in.
这可不是逃跑的好衣服。
Jung Heewon glanced at Lee Jihye. In any case, the party members were the only ones she could believe in.
郑希元瞥了一眼李智慧。无论如何，她只能相信党员。
“What about Yoo Sangah-ssi?”
“YooSangah-ssi怎么样?”
“She is in a room with the kids.”
“她和孩子们在一个房间里。”
The problem was that the party members weren’t well.
问题是党员们身体不好。
Lee Jihye spoke in a dark voice,
李继惠用阴沉的声音说,
“…The loss of Dokja ahjussi is a big blow.”
“失去大叔是一个巨大的打击。”
Honestly, things were uncertain when he was with them but once he was missing, everyone was lost. This was Kim Dokja to the party members. Everyone’s purpose was survival but it was Kim Dokja who decided the path of survival. It was natural for the party members to lose their direction and scatter.
老实说，当他和他们在一起的时候，事情是不确定的，但是一旦他失踪了，所有人都失踪了。这是金杜佳对党员们说的话。每个人的目的都是为了生存，但决定生存之路的却是金独子。对于党员来说，迷失方向，四散奔逃是很自然的事情。
“I wish I had the manual that Soldier ahjussi mentioned.”
“真希望我有大叔提到的那本手册。”
“Have you heard from Hyunsung-ssi yet?”
“你有玄星思的消息吗?”
“…He was called to the army on the first day and there is still no news.”
“......他第一天就被征召入伍，到现在还没有消息。”
Lee Hyunsung was originally a soldier and it was natural for him to be called by the army. Lee Jihye whined.
李贤成最初是一名士兵，他被军队召唤是很自然的事情。李智慧抱怨道。
“He is really foolish… I wouldn’t have gone. What use is the army in this world?”
“他真傻......我不会去的。这个世界上军队有什么用?”
Jung Heewon agreed with Lee Jihye’s words but she didn’t want to scold Lee Hyunsung. Everyone had different ways of dealing with loss. The children stayed in the room while Lee Hyunsung returned to the army.
郑和元同意李智慧的话，但她不想责备李贤成。每个人对待失去的方式都不同。孩子们呆在房间里，李贤成回到军队。
If it was just that…
如果只是这样..。
[The following scenario will start in three days.]
[以下情景将在三天后开始。]
Jung Heewon gulped as she saw the message floating in the air. Three days later, hell would begin again.
郑熙媛看到消息飘浮在空中，一口气咽了下去。三天后，地狱又开始了。
The more complicated problem was that the scenarios in the future were likely to be completely different from what they had already been through.
更为复杂的问题是，未来的情况可能与他们已经经历的情况完全不同。
[You can now respond to the call of the sponsors and receive the personal trials they have set.] [Personal trials are treated as hidden scenarios and can be replaced the main scenario if it overlaps with certain main scenarios.] [Scenario substitution is available only until the 25th main scenario begins.]
[你现在可以响应赞助商的号召，接受他们设定的个人测试。][个人试验被视为隐藏场景，如果它与某些主要场景重叠，可以替换主要场景。][场景替换只能在第25个主场景开始之前使用。]
They passed the tenth scenario and opened the ‘personal trials.’ Jung Heewon didn’t have a sense of what they were yet.
他们通过了第十个场景，开启了“个人试验”郑和元还没有意识到它们是什么。
Lee Jihye spoke in a comforting manner. “Don’t worry too much. Master said it isn’t a big deal for the moment.”
李继惠以一种令人欣慰的方式说话。“不要太担心。师父说现在没什么大不了的。”
“How about Yoo Jonghyuk-ssi?”
“柳永玉西怎么样?”
“I don’t know where he went after Kim Dokja’s song. He is unlike the real Master…”
“我不知道他唱完金道佳的歌后去了哪里。他不像真正的大师......”
Certainly, Yoo Jonghyuk’s reaction to Kim Dokja’s death was puzzling.
当然，柳荣玉对金东子之死的反应令人费解。
Yoo Jonghyuk stayed in his room like a broken person for a while before suddenly disappearing, saying he would be back in three days.
柳钟玉像一个崩溃的人一样在房间里呆了一会儿，然后突然消失了，说他三天后就会回来。
“Han Sooyoung-ssi?”
“韩淑英?”
“She went to talk to the government officials this morning. She said it is time to reap the seeds that were sown…”
“今天早上她去和政府官员谈话了。她说，是时候收获播下的种子了......”
“The government? What can she expect from them?”
“政府?她能从他们那里得到什么?”
Then something belatedly came to her mind.
这时，她的脑海中浮现出一些姗姗来迟的念头。
-If something happens to me, unconditionally follow Han Sooyoung.
-如果我有什么不测，请无条件跟随韩秀英。
They were words that Kim Dokja once left with her. Why did they have to move with Han Sooyoung? However, there must be a reasonable explanation since Kim Dokja said this.
这些话是KimDokja曾经留给她的。他们为什么要和韩素英一起搬走？不过，既然金杜佳说了这句话，一定有合理的解释。
Jung Heewon got up and the surprised Lee Jihye asked, “Are you going out?”
郑和元站了起来，吃惊的李智慧问:“你要出去吗?”
“Yes. I can’t continue staying inside here. We should also get ready.”
“是的。我不能继续呆在这里了。我们也应该做好准备。”
“Then I’ll go with you.”
“那我和你一起去。”
Both of them didn’t have a hesitant nature once they decided on something. Lee Jihye and Jung Heewon headed straight out of the house. They opened the front door and the shutter sound poured towards them.
当他们决定做某件事的时候，他们都不会犹豫不决。LeeJihye和JungHeewon径直走出了房子。他们打开前门，百叶窗的声音向他们倾泻而来。
“Jung Heewon-ssi! I’m a reporter from Georyo Ilbo! Only one word. Please!”
“郑鹤元-西!我是乔约伊尔博的记者!只有一个词。请!”
They weren’t the only survivors.
他们不是唯一的幸存者。
Nearly 1,000 people came back from Seoul Dome. Some of them contacting the living and spoke about the terrible few months they lived.
将近1000人从汉城圆顶体育馆回来。他们中的一些人联系活着的人，谈论他们生活的可怕的几个月。
The reporters continued to find the party members despite accumulating enough stories. The reason was simple. Among the 1,000 survivors, Jung Heewon and the others were celebrities who were at the centre of the scenario.
尽管积累了足够多的故事，记者们还是继续找到了党员。原因很简单。在1000名幸存者中，JungHeewon和其他人都是名人，他们处在这个场景的中心。
“Jung Heewon-ssi! What happened inside there?”
“郑鹤元-西!里面发生了什么事?”
“I heard it was helpful that you learnt kendo. Is that true?”
“我听说你学了剑道很有帮助，是真的吗?”
“There is a rumour that you were a candidate for the national team…”
“有传言说你是国家队的候选人......”
Jung Heewon looked at the reporters pushing their microphones towards her. The government had told her not to tell the media what happened. She had been saving her words so far because she didn’t find it easy to talk.
郑鹤元看着记者们把麦克风推向她。政府告诉她不要告诉媒体发生了什么。到目前为止，她一直保留着自己的话，因为她觉得说话并不容易。
Then… why? Today, Jung Heewon felt like saying something.
-那...为什么?-今天郑鹤元想说点什么。
“You are curious about what happened inside there?”
“你好奇里面发生了什么吗?”
Jung Heewon let go of Lee Jihye’s hand and looked at the banner waving outside.
郑鹤元松开李智慧的手，看着外面飘扬的旗帜。
[Yangcheon-gu’s Hero! Celebrating the safe return of Judge of Destruction Jung Heewon!]
[杨千秋的英雄!庆祝毁灭法官郑鹤元平安归来!]
…Hero? Her?
英雄?她？
Yangcheon-gu had long since disappeared. Nevertheless, this banner was hung and Jung Heewon couldn’t withstand it anymore.
阳川姑早就消失了，可是这面旗子还挂着，郑和元再也抵挡不住了。
“I’m not the hero you think I am. I wasn’t a candidate for the national team and I didn’t do well in kendo.”
“我不是你想的那种英雄。我不是国家队的候选人，我在剑道方面也表现不好。”
Jung Heewon spoke into the microphone like she was talking to the whole world.
郑鹤元对着麦克风说话，就像她在对全世界说话一样。
“Before the destruction came, I was just a bartender working at a cheap bar.”
“在遭到破坏之前，我只是一个在廉价酒吧工作的酒保。”
Her words caused a stir among the reporters. Nobody could believe it. Someone scoffed and someone else looked a bit jealous.
她的话在记者中引起了轰动。没有人相信。有人嘲笑，有人看起来有点嫉妒。
In front of these gazes, Jung Heewon felt strangely free. She wasn’t the old ‘Jung Heewon’ anymore. Jung Heewon realized it with all these eyes on her.
在这些目光面前，郑鹤元感到莫名的自由。她不再是以前的郑希元了。郑和元在众目睽睽之下意识到了这一点。
The reporters kept asking her questions.
记者们不停地问她问题。
How could a bartender become one of the last survivors?
一个酒保怎么会成为最后的幸存者之一呢？
How could she survive and how did she become the Judge of Destruction?
她是如何生存下来的，又是如何成为毁灭的审判者的？
[The constellation ‘Bald General of Justice’ is looking at you with sad eyes.] [The constellation ‘One-Eyed Maitreya’ is reminded of someone by your words.]
[光头将军正用悲伤的眼神看着你。][“独眼弥勒佛”是由你的话语提醒某人的。]
The indirect messages of the constellations came from all over the place. Jung Heewon opened her mouth without understanding her feelings.
星座的间接信息来自四面八方。JungHeewon没有理解她的感受就开了口。
“Do you know Kim Dokja?”
“你认识金独子吗?”
[The constellation ‘Maritime War God’ is nodding.] [The constellation ‘Seo Ae Il Pil’ remembers the name.] [The constellation ‘Last Hero of Hwangsanbeol’ remembers him.]
[“海战之神”星座在点头。][星座‘SeoAeIlPil’记得这个名字。][星座‘黄三角最后的英雄’记得他。]
The voices of the reporters followed after the constellation.
记者们的声音紧跟在星座之后。
“Kim Dokja?”
“ Kim Dokja? ”
“Who is that?”
“那是谁?”
“I seem to have heard it before.”
“我似乎以前听说过。”
Jung Heewon thought it was funny. They didn’t know. Of course, they could never know.
郑鹤元认为这很有趣。他们不知道。当然，他们永远不会知道。
Jung Heewon lightly breathed in and said, “The last survivors didn’t survive with our own strength.”
郑和元轻轻地吸了口气，说:“最后的幸存者没有用我们自己的力量生存下来。”
She suddenly felt like crying as she spoke. The reporters didn’t know anything and kept asking questions.
她说话的时候突然想哭，记者们什么都不知道，不停地问问题。
“What are you saying?”
“你在说什么?”
“The name ‘Kim Dokja’ isn’t on the list of survivors?”
“‘KimDokja’这个名字不在幸存者名单上吗?”
“Why didn’t Kim Dokja-ssi come back with you?”
“为什么金独子西没有和你一起回来?”
“Where is that person now?”
“那个人现在在哪儿?”
Where was he? Jung Heewon didn’t know. However, if she had one wish… “That person…” Jung Heewon stared at the Seoul Dome. “He’ll be back. Definitely.”
他在哪儿？郑鹤元不知道。然而，如果她有一个愿望...“那个人...”郑和元盯着汉城圆顶。“他会回来的。当然。”

「 At this time, Kim Dokja opened his eyes in the Demon World. 」
“此时，金多加睁开了他在恶魔世界中的眼睛”
“Heeeeeeok!”
“嘿嘿嘿!”
I screamed as I vomited and opened my eyes. The sound of my heartbeat was unfamiliar.
我一边呕吐一边尖叫，睁开眼睛，我的心跳声并不熟悉。
A golden aura appeared around my heart and rough magic power was emitted. It might be broken but it was still the heart of a dragon hatchling. The strong magic power of the transplanted material was enough to stun me.
一个金色的光环环绕在我的心上，散发出粗糙的魔力。它可能已经破碎，但它仍然是一只刚孵化出来的龙的心脏。这种移植材料的强大魔力足以使我目瞪口呆。
If I could use this properly, I wouldn’t be lacking magic power in combat for a while.
如果我能正确使用它，我就不会在战斗中缺少魔法了。
[The attribute ‘Lamarck Kirin’ has allowed you to absorb the power of the broken story.]
[拉马克·基林这个属性让你能够吸收故事的力量。]
In fact, absorbing a broken story was a dangerous idea. It would’ve been impossible for me without Lamarck Kirin.
事实上，吸收一个失败的故事是一个危险的想法。如果没有拉马克·基林，这对我来说是不可能的。
「 Lamarck Kirin isn’t acknowledged among the other evolutionary attributes because it is less effective. However, it has the fewest side-effects and doesn’t absorb the weakness of the story. 」
“拉马克·麒麟在其他进化属性中不被认可，因为它的效率较低。”。不过，它的副作用最小，而且没有吸收故事的弱点
If I had obtained Darwin’s Demon, another evolutionary attribute, I would’ve been killed the moment I ate the gold dragon’s story.
如果我得到了达尔文的恶魔，另一个进化属性，我会在吃掉金龙的故事的那一刻被杀死。
This absorption effect was good because my safety was guaranteed. I didn’t have multiple lives anymore.
这种吸收效果很好，因为我的安全得到了保证，我不再有多条生命了。
[The story fragment ‘Broken Heart of a Young Gold Dragon’ has been acquired.]
[故事片段《金龙破碎的心》已经获得。]
The original name of this story fragment was ‘ heart of a young gold dragon who was torn to death by an outer god’ However, I didn’t absorb the ‘torn to death by an outer god’ part.
这个故事片段最初的名字是‘一条年轻的金龙被外神撕裂致死的心’然而，我并没有吸收‘被外神撕裂致死’的部分。
This was the advantage of Lamarck Kirin. The absorption rate of the story was low but the weakness wasn’t absorbed.
这就是拉马克麒麟的优点。故事的吸收率低，但弱点没有被吸收。
[Your new body is being constructed.]
[你的新身体正在被构建。]
[The creation of a new body will delay the collapse of your existence.] [This effect is temporary and it is recommended to quickly return to the scenario.]
[一个新身体的创造将延迟你们存在的崩溃。][这种效果是暂时的，建议快速返回到该场景。]
