I turned around and saw the owner of the pub staring at me with curious eyes. I replied as naturally as possible. “I just entered yesterday.”
我转过身来，看到酒吧老板用好奇的眼神盯着我。我尽可能自然地回答。“我昨天才进来的。”
“It is good to see you. Life in the industrial complex is hard but our hearts are good. I don’t know where you’re from but this isn’t a bad place to settle down. Care for a drink?”
“很高兴见到你。工业区的生活很艰难，但我们的心是善良的。我不知道你从哪里来，但是在这里安顿下来是个不错的选择。要喝点什么吗?”
“No, I don’t like to drink.”
“不，我不喜欢喝酒。”
“Huhu, going to this place when you don’t know how to drink. You are an unfortunate friend.”
“虎虎，你不会喝酒就到这里来，真是个倒霉的朋友。”
I heard this and was reminded of when I first joined Mino Soft.” Han Myungoh said something similar when I first told him I couldn’t drink alcohol at the restaurant.
我听说了这件事，就想起了我刚加入MinoSoft的时候。”当我第一次告诉HanMyungoh我不能在餐厅喝酒时，他也说了类似的话。
Come to think of it, where was Han Myungoh now? He received the curse of Demon King Asmodeus and there was no way to confirm his life or death…
想想看，韩明悟现在在哪里？他受到了魔王阿斯莫德斯的诅咒，无法确认他的生死.....。
I somehow felt down as I remembered those tiring days.
当我想起那些累人的日子时，我不知怎么地感到沮丧。
“I don’t like drinking but I like the appetizers served with alcohol. Do you mind if I order side dishes?”
“我不喜欢喝酒，但是我喜欢开胃菜配酒。你介意我点配菜吗?”
“Of course. We have deep fried demon’s claws, fried demon tripe and…”
“当然。我们有油炸魔爪，油炸魔鬼内脏和......”
I smiled. “Stop making fun of me.”
我笑着说，“别再取笑我了。”
“Haha, busted.”
“哈哈，完蛋了。”
“Give me the best you have. How much?”
“给我你最好的，多少钱?”
“Five coins only.”
“只要五个硬币。”
It was an insanely low price. It was a price that the small constellation of Peace Land could afford. I thought for a bit before asking, “If I pay double, can you make it doubly delicious?”
这是一个极低的价格。这是“和平之地”这个小星座能够负担得起的价格。我想了一会儿才问:“如果我付双倍的钱，你能让它加倍美味吗?”
“Hahah, I can make it triply delicious.”
“哈哈，我可以把它做得三倍好吃。”
I handed over 50 coins without speaking and the owner’s eyes widened.
我一言不发地交出了50枚硬币，老板的眼睛瞪得大大的。
“…10 times is a bit tough but I’ll try.”
“10次有点难，但我会努力的。”
Unlike what he said, the owner seemed to be a skillful chef because a pleasant smell was coming from him. My expectations were slightly inflated as I anticipated appeasing my hunger. I couldn’t help it when thinking it was time to eat real food.
不像他说的那样，店主似乎是一个技术高超的厨师，因为他身上散发出一股令人愉快的味道。我的期望值有些过高，因为我预期可以安抚我的饥饿感。当我想到是时候吃真正的食物时，我情不自禁。
I ignored my stomach for a moment and sighed. I had been working so hard that it wouldn’t be hard to have a rest.
我忽略了我的胃一会儿，叹了口气。我一直在努力工作，所以休息一下也不难。
“How great. Is that the place called Earth?”
“太棒了，那个地方叫地球吗?”
A bunch of incarnations were looking at the screen hanging from the top of the pub.
一群转世的人看着酒吧顶上悬挂的屏幕。
It was a video recording from a dokkaebi’s channel. It was a familiar scene and then a familiar voice started to flow out.
这是一段来自dokkaebi频道的录像。这是一个熟悉的场景，然后一个熟悉的声音开始流出。
-Ahjussi!
大叔！
It was a scene from the Seoul Dome scenario. It was a record of the tenth scenario, the 73rd Demon King. I heard Shin Yoosung’s voice coming from the screen and a corner of my heart was pained.
这是《首尔穹顶》剧情中的一个场景。这是第10个场景的记录，第73个魔王。我听到银幕上传来申友成的声音，心里一直在痛苦。
I raised the collar of my coat so it half covered my face and watched the video.
我掀起外套的领子，让它半遮住我的脸，然后看录像。
“The scenario impact is awesome. Isn’t it as rumoured?”
“这种情况的影响非常可怕，难道不是传言中的那样吗?”
“Don’t you think it is the most popular scenario area lately?”
“难道你不认为这是最近最流行的场景吗?”
“The incarnations in that neighbourhood must be very prosperous!”
“那个地区的前身一定非常繁荣!”
Almost all the mass media in the Demon World were under the control of the wenny people.
恶魔世界中的大众传媒几乎都在温柔的人们的控制之下。
The wenny people couldn’t open channels directly like the dokkaebi so they couldn’t earn income through donations. Instead, they stole the recording material and distributed them all over the world.
温柔的人不能像dokkaebi那样直接打开渠道，所以他们不能通过捐款来获得收入。相反，他们偷走了录音材料并分发到世界各地。
“Shit, I don’t think the degree of difficulty is that high. I can also do that much!”
“妈的，我不认为难度有那么高。我也能做那么多!”
“Stop speaking nonsense. If you were there, you couldn’t even make it to the fifth scenario.”
“别胡说八道了。如果你在那里，你甚至连第五种情况都做不到。”
“Uhuh, no?”
“嗯，不是吗?”
They watched the screen and the 73rd Demon King scenario started to gradually change.
他们看着屏幕，第73代魔王的情节开始逐渐改变。
-Uriel, you know. This is just a story.
乌里叶，这只是个故事。
It felt really strange to see my lines flowing from the screen.
看到我的线条从屏幕上流淌出来，感觉真的很奇怪。
-You must’ve seen many people die in the meantime.
你一定看到很多人同时死去。
It was the moment when Uriel was very sad…
那一刻乌列非常悲伤。
I looked around and saw that some incarnations were in tears.
我环顾四周，看到一些化身在哭泣。
Anger, despair or sighs.
愤怒、绝望或叹息。
“Shit, it’s so sad…”
“妈的，太悲哀了......”
…It was a strange feeling. It wasn’t their scenario but they sympathized with the stories I had experienced. Their faces looked like they received comfort.
那是一种奇怪的感觉。这不是他们的剧本，但他们同情我所经历的故事。他们的脸看起来好像得到了安慰。
Maybe it wasn’t just the constellations who needed stories. The stories were necessary for everyone.
也许不只是星座需要故事，每个人都需要故事。
“…Will we be able to do that if we return to our home scenario?”
“......如果我们回到自己的故乡，我们能做到这一点吗?”
“Rampert, do you want to go back?”
“兰伯特，你想回去吗?”
“If I can go but I can’t.”
“如果我可以去，但我不能去。”
“Kulkul, just ask the wenny man. He will send you at any time.”
“库库尔，去问问那个姑娘，他随时都会派你来的。”
“…Is that a joke? I don’t want to become a disaster for my home.”
“......这是开玩笑吗?我不想成为我家的灾难。”
Disaster. At this point, the air inside the pub became tense. However, it was only for a moment. Everyone was reluctant to talk about this topic and quickly changed it.
灾难。这时，酒吧里的气氛变得紧张起来。然而，这只是一瞬间。每个人都不愿意谈论这个话题，并且很快改变了它。
“Here it is. Side dishes that are 10 times more delicious.”
“在这里。配菜的美味程度要高出10倍。”
I smiled slightly and accepted the side dishes. It was simple fried chips and noodles. I could tell they were tasty dishes without tasting them due to the savoury smell.
我微微一笑，接受了配菜。只是简单的炸薯条和面条。我可以告诉他们是美味的菜肴没有品尝他们由于可口的气味。
I grabbed the plates and looked around. I could see a small head focused on the screen, just like everyone else. He didn’t know I was near and was close to tears.
我抓起盘子，环顾四周。我可以看到一个小脑袋聚焦在屏幕上，就像其他人一样。他不知道我就在附近，几乎要哭了。
I clicked my tongue and sat down beside him. “Why, do you miss it?”
我咂了咂舌头，坐在他旁边。“怎么，你想念它了吗?”
“Hiik!” His surprised appearance was very cute. He was exactly as I imagined. I pressed on Jang Hayoung’s shoulder as he tried to slip away.
“嗨!”他惊讶的样子很可爱。他和我想象的一模一样。当张海英试图溜走的时候，我紧紧地搂住他的肩膀。
“Don’t be so wary. I just want to eat together.”
“别这么小心，我只是想和你一起吃饭。”
Jang Hayoung stared at me doubtfully and obediently sat back down. He judged that I couldn’t hurt him because there were many incarnations around. Jang Hayoung hesitated before opening his mouth first.
张海英怀疑地看着我，顺从地坐了下来。他断定我不能伤害他，因为周围有许多化身。张海英在开口之前犹豫了一下。
“Is your talk with Aileen over?”
“你和爱玲谈完了吗?”
“Yes.”
“是的。”
“What did you talk about?”
“你们谈了些什么?”
“You don’t need to know.”
“你不需要知道。”
“…By the way, is that special cuisine?”
“......顺便问一下，那是特色菜吗?”
“Eat if you want.”
“想吃就吃吧。”
Jang Hayoung moved his fork like he had been waiting. The noddles disappeared into Jang Hayoung’s mouth. Come to think of it, this guy had the Shameless skill.
张海英动了动他的叉子，好像他一直在等待。面团消失在张海英的嘴里。仔细想想，这家伙还真是不知羞耻。
“Well, it is worth eating.”
“嗯，它值得一吃。”
Jang Hayoung ate more than half my head in a flash.
张海英一下子吃掉了我半个脑袋。
“…By the way, are you from Earth?”
“顺便问一句，你是从地球来的吗?”
“Yes.”
“是的。”
My face never appeared properly on the screen. It was as if someone deliberately touched the screen. My face distorted like it was hit.
我的脸从来没有正确地出现在屏幕上。就好像有人故意触摸屏幕。我的脸扭曲得像被打了一样。
That jerk Bihyung, why did he edit my face like that? In any case, it seemed that Jang Hayoung didn’t recognize me.
那个混蛋Bihyung，他为什么要把我的脸剪成那样？不管怎样，张海英似乎并没有认出我来。
“…How was it?”
“......怎么样?”
“It was awful.”
“太可怕了。”
Jang Hayoung nodded, understanding everything with these words alone. A tragic investigation wasn’t necessary for those who had experienced the scenario.
张海英点点头，用这些话理解了一切。对于那些经历过这种情况的人来说，没有必要进行悲剧性的调查。
“Are you on the screen right now?”
“你现在在屏幕上吗?”
“I will come out.”
“我会出来的。”
“Where?”
“在哪儿?”
“I’m coming now.”
“我来了。”
The screen zoomed in on the handsome face of Yoo Jonghyuk. Fortunately, my coat was dirty enough to look similar to his black coat. He might really believe it if I insisted moderately…
屏幕放大到柳钟玉英俊的脸上。幸运的是，我的外套脏得跟他的黑外套一模一样。如果我坚持适度的话，他可能真的会相信。
However, Jang Hayoung’s expression wasn’t very good.
然而，张海英的表情并不是很好。
“There is no resemblance…”
“没有相似之处......”
“That is me.”
“那就是我。”
“No. You are like dough made by anyone while a god was carving him for a thousand days…”
“不，你就像神雕刻他一千天的时候，任何人做的面团......”
“I am an exile. The stories on my face have crumbled.”
“我是一个流亡者。我脸上的故事已经被粉碎了。”
“No matter how many stories you lose… your lie should make sense.”
“不管你失去了多少故事......你的谎言应该是有意义的。”
…Damn. I felt bad but I still needed to achieve my purpose. Yes, I’m not him. Still, doesn’t he look cool?”
该死。我感觉很糟糕，但是我仍然需要达到我的目的。是的，我不是他。不过，他看起来是不是很酷?”
“Yes.”
“是的。”
“He also fights unbelievably well.”
“他的打斗能力也令人难以置信。”
“Really?”
“真的吗?”
“I’ll let you meet him when we go to Earth. I’m very familiar with him.”
“我们去地球的时候，我会让你见见他。我对他很熟悉。”
My words caused Jang Hayoung’s eyes to shake. Perhaps Jang Hayoung would have no choice but to cross over. In Ways of Survival, Jang Hayoung was a person who admired Yoo Jonghyuk. If I persuaded this guy in advance and encouraged his will to return… “Why would I want to meet him?”
我的话使张海英的眼睛发抖。也许张海英别无选择，只能超度。在《生存之道》中，张海英是一个崇拜柳永玉的人。如果我提前说服这个人并鼓励他回来......“我为什么要见他?”
“Eh? No, just…”
“嗯?不，只是......”
“Rather, I’m more interested in that.”
“相反，我对此更感兴趣。”
“Who?”
“谁?”
“Over there.”
“在那边。”
On the screen, I saw a figure surrounded by dark demonic energy. A man was staring at his companions with sad eyes. His face wasn’t completely visible but I was well aware of who it was. It was me.
在屏幕上，我看到一个身影被黑暗的恶魔能量包围着。一个男人用悲伤的眼神盯着他的同伴。他的脸不是完全可见，但我很清楚那是谁。是我。
I stared at Jang Hayoung’s sparkling eyes and wondered what this was all about.
我盯着张海英闪闪发光的眼睛，想知道这是怎么回事。
“You can’t even see his face?”
“你连他的脸都看不见?”
“Why does that matter?”
“这有什么关系?”
I was feeling confused when shouts suddenly came from various parts of the pub.
当酒吧里突然传来一阵阵叫喊声时，我感到很困惑。
“Waaahhhh!”
“哇哈哈!”
“No! Open your eyes, Demon King of Salvation!”
“不!睁开你的眼睛，救世魔王!”
“Damn! My tears won’t stop!”
“该死!我的眼泪停不下来了!”
[Your reputation is strengthened in the 73rd Demon Realm.]
[你的声誉在第73魔界得到加强]
[1,500 coins have been acquired.]
[已获得1500枚硬币]
No, I was this popular? I suddenly regretted doing the Yoo Jonghyuk cosplay. Now I couldn’t say that person was actually me.
不，我就这么受欢迎？我突然后悔做了俞钟玉的角色扮演。现在我不能说那个人就是我自己。
-Let’s meet again, Yoo Jonghyuk.
-我们再见面吧，柳钟玉。
Finally, the scenario reached the end and people started to cry. Some people were so moved that they couldn’t get out of these feelings.
最后，剧情终于结束了，人们开始哭泣。有些人非常感动，他们无法摆脱这种感觉。
Jang Hayoung muttered with an ecstatic expression, “Ah, too bad he already has a girlfriend.”
张海英欣喜若狂地喃喃自语道:“啊，可惜他已经有女朋友了。”
My heart sank. “What? Who?”
我的心沉了下去。“什么?谁?”
“The Demon King of Salvation. Do you happen to know him?”
“救世魔王。你认识他吗?”
“I know him but…” I frowned as I looked into Jang Hayoung’s beautiful eyes. Clear eyes and white cheeks. A beautiful cream-coloured face. However…
“我认识他，但是......”我看着张海英美丽的眼睛皱起了眉头。清澈的眼睛和白皙的脸颊。一张美丽的奶油色的脸。但是..。
“Aren’t you a man?”
“你不是个男人吗?”
If I remembered correctly, Jang Hayoung was a man. The damn writer of Ways of Survival accepted all my comments and changed just one thing. It was this guy’s gender.
如果我没记错的话，张海英是个男人。该死的《生存之道》的作者接受了我所有的评论，只改变了一件事。是这家伙的性别。
Jang Hayoung raised his eyebrows and frowned. “Earth is the only place that judges by the cover.”
张海英扬扬起眉毛，皱起了眉头，“地球是唯一一个通过封面来判断的地方。”
I was about to respond when the pub owner suddenly turned off the lights. Then he declared to the whole pub in a very low voice, “Night is coming.”
我正要回答，这时酒吧老板突然关上了灯。然后，他低声对整个酒吧的人说:“夜晚来了。”
At these words, a deep silence spread through the pub. It was a silent that was much more sensitive and sharper than when the word ‘disaster’ emerged. Jang Hayoung faced me and brought a finger to his lips.
听到这些话，整个酒吧里鸦雀无声。这是一种比“灾难”这个词出现时敏感和尖锐得多的沉默。张海英面对着我，把一根手指放到嘴边。
“Shhh.”
“嘘。”
Looking closer, it wasn’t only this pub. Other pubs and stores on the street had closed their doors and turned off the lights. Suddenly, all sounds disappeared.
再仔细看看，不仅仅是这家酒吧。街上的其他酒吧和商店都关门关灯了。突然，所有的声音都消失了。
It was as if all of the industrial complex was submerged deep in the ocean. In the streets where every person had disappeared, the dreary sound of flutes was heard. Some citizens blocked their ears in order to avoid hearing it.
好像所有的工业联合企业都被淹没在海洋深处。在每个人都消失不见的街道上，都能听到笛声的凄凉。一些市民捂住耳朵以避免听到。
At this moment, I was reminded of something.
这时，我想起了一些事情。
「 There is a special ‘Night’ in the Demon World. 」
「恶魔世界有一个特殊的夜晚」
I listened to the Fourth Wall and recalled the setting of Ways of Survival.
我听着第四面墙，回忆起《生存之道》的背景。
「 All citizens of the industrial complex are afraid of the nobles. It isn’t simply because the nobles are strong. It is due to this ‘Night’ that comes one every three days. 」
所有工业联合体的公民都害怕贵族。这不仅仅是因为贵族们很强大。正是由于这种“夜晚”，每三天发生一次
“Please just pass by. Please…”
“请经过这里，请......”
Someone muttered. How long had it been? I could hear the window freezing as something passed through the street.
有人喃喃自语道，已经多久了?我能听到有东西穿过街道时窗户冻结的声音。
Every citizen held their breaths and pretended they were invisible. There were those who lowered themselves and stared down at the table. The shadow of a giant scythe passed over the frozen window.
每个市民都屏住呼吸，假装他们是隐形的。有些人低头看着桌子。一把巨大镰刀的影子掠过结了冰的窗户。
「 At Night, the executioner appears in the industrial complex. 」 「 If the citizens have the revolutionary, the nobles have the executioner. 」
“夜间，刽子手出现在工业区”“如果公民有革命者，贵族有刽子手”
They were the source of the citizens’ fear and the inability to resist the nobles, as well as the reason why the dukes could maintain their position in the industrial complex.
他们是公民恐惧和无力抵抗贵族的根源，也是公爵们能够在工业联合体中保持地位的原因。
It was due to the existence of the Executioner. The moment the door of the pub opened, people tightly closed their eyes. A scratchy voice came from the deep darkness.
这是因为刽子手的存在。酒馆的门一开，人们就紧紧地闭上了眼睛。一个沙哑的声音从黑暗中传来。
