Duke Syswitz’ office. The demon earl Silocke was standing in front of it with an anxious heart. It was because the earl ‘Han’ was guarding the office like a gatekeeper.
杜克·塞斯维兹的办公室。恶魔伯爵斯洛克站在它面前，心中充满了焦虑。这是因为韩伯爵像看门人一样看守着办公室。
‘Han.’
汉
No one knew what his real name was. Everyone just called him Han. He was an ‘earl’ like Silocke but he was a very unusual fellow. It was because he was in touch with Asmodeus, a demon king of 32 demon realms. Maybe Duke Syswitz kept him around because he was aware of this fact.
没人知道他的真名是什么。大家都叫他Han。他是一个像斯洛克一样的“伯爵”，但他是一个非同寻常的家伙。这是因为他与32个恶魔王国的恶魔王阿斯莫德斯有联系。也许是因为杜克·塞斯维茨意识到了这个事实，所以把他留了下来。
Silocke felt inwardly strained and finally opened his mouth. “I have something to say to the duke.”
斯洛克觉得内心很紧张，终于张开了嘴，“我有话要对公爵说。”
“Tell me. I will let him know.”
“告诉我，我会告诉他的。”
“It is difficult.”
“这很难。”
“The duke is currently in an emergency meeting with the Gilobat envoy.”
“公爵目前正在与吉洛巴特使者召开紧急会议。”
“When will it finish?”
“什么时候结束?”
“I don’t know.”
“我不知道。”
Silocke clicked his tongue. If he told this guy, Han would clearly take all the credit. Thus, Silocke replied, “It’s fine. It isn’t urgent so I will wait.”
斯洛克咂了咂舌。如果他告诉了这个人，很明显，韩会独享所有的功劳。因此，斯洛克回答说:“没关系。事情并不紧急，所以我会等。”
Han’s eyebrows twitched at the words. Silocke liked seeing this expression.
听到这些话，韩寒的眉毛抽动了一下。斯洛克喜欢看到这种表情。
‘Son of a bitch, keep wondering.’
狗娘养的，继续猜吧
The information that Silocke reported was simple.
斯洛克报告的信息很简单。
-A civilian presumed to be a marquis of Gilobat has appeared in public.
一个被认为是Gilobat侯爵的平民出现在公众面前。
Of course, it wasn’t bad to say this but the more he thought about it, the stranger things seemed. Silocke thought for a moment before staring closely at the duke’s office.
当然，这么说并不坏，但是他越想越觉得奇怪。斯洛克想了一会儿，然后紧盯着公爵的办公室。
“Is a marquis from Gilobat inside there?”
“吉洛巴特的一个侯爵在里面吗?”
“Yes.”
“是的。”
“He must’ve come straight here without going anywhere else.”
“他一定是直接来到这里，没有去别的地方。”
“That is the case.”
“情况就是这样。”
Silocke felt delighted at the reply.
听到这个回答，斯洛克感到高兴。
‘Indeed, my guess is correct.’
“的确，我的猜测是正确的。”
He didn’t know for certain but there shouldn’t be two marquis in the Gilobat delegation. A marquis grade should be the leader of the delegation. It was very likely that the citizen he met wasn’t a marquis of Gilobat and was pretending to be a demon noble.
他不确定，但吉洛巴特代表团里不应该有两个侯爵。一个侯爵级别的人应该是代表团的团长。很可能他遇到的那个公民并不是吉洛巴特侯爵，而是假扮成一个恶魔贵族。
This alone was worth reporting. It might not be big but it would help with his performance review.
这本身就是值得报道的，它可能不是很大，但对他的业绩评估会有帮助。
Han saw the hesitating Silocke and opened his mouth. “Since you are wandering around, you must also be wondering who the next demon king will be.”
韩看到犹豫不决的斯洛克，张开了嘴。“既然你在四处游荡，你一定也想知道下一个魔王会是谁。”
“Ah, well… That’s right.”
“啊，好吧......没错。”
It was a misunderstanding but it wasn’t a bad idea to ask about this misunderstanding.
这是一个误会，但询问这个误会并不是一个坏主意。
“Is it because of the rumours of the demon king emerging that the Gilobat delegation came to visit?”
“是不是因为恶魔国王的传言，吉洛巴特代表团才来拜访的?”
“I can’t tell you more but it is similar.”
“我不能告诉你更多，但它们很相似。”
“The story of the demon king, it is a bit funny… don’t you think so?”
“魔王的故事，有点好笑......你不这么认为吗?”
The source of the rumours was unknown yet these rumours shook the entire 73rd Demon Realm.
谣言的来源不明，但这些谣言震撼了整个第73魔界。
Silocke inwardly found this situation laughable.
斯洛克暗自觉得这种情况很可笑。
Syswitz.
Syswitz.
Gilobat.
女名女子名。
Melledon.
女名女子名。
Bercan.
贝尔坎。
For the past few hundred years, the 73rd Demon Realm had been properly balanced by these four dukes. The peace that had been maintained for hundreds of years was now shaking because of a rumour. It was a story without any realism.
在过去的几百年里，第73魔界已经被这四位公爵正确地平衡了。由于一个谣言，维持了几百年的和平现在正在动摇。这是一个没有任何现实意义的故事。
However, Han didn’t agree with Silocke’s words. “The signs of the ‘demon king’ are already appearing.”
然而，韩不同意斯洛克的说法，“‘魔王’的征兆已经出现了。”
“What? How do you know that?”
“什么?你怎么知道的?”
“I heard that Vedas has joined hands with the Melledon Industrial Complex.”
“我听说吠陀经与梅勒登工业园区(MelledonIndustrialComplex)携手合作。”
“Vedas?”
“吠陀经?”
It was a name that Silocke was familiar with. No, it would be strange if he didn’t know it. It was one of the names that must be known in order to safely live in the Star Stream.
这是一个斯洛克熟悉的名字。不，如果他不知道就奇怪了。这是一个名字，必须知道，以便安全地生活在星流。
Thus, Silocke couldn’t help feeling astonished. “…The nebulae are moving directly?”
因此，斯洛克不禁感到惊讶:“......星云是直接运动的吗?”
“To be precise, one of the narrative-grade constellations from Vedas has been in contact with Melledon.”
准确地说，《吠陀》中的叙事等级星座之一与梅勒东有过接触
The constellations and demon kings’ enmity was famous in the Star Stream. Now the constellations were interfering with the affairs of the 73rd Demon Realm. The scale wasn’t big but things would spiral out of control if it was really a nebula.
星座和魔王的仇恨在星流中很有名。现在，星座干扰了第73魔界的事务。这个星云的规模并不大，但如果它真的是一个星云的话，情况就会失控。
“The nebulae are interested. Does this mean the demon king will really appear…?”
“星云感兴趣。这是否意味着恶魔之王真的会出现......?”
Silocke muttered with a slightly dazed expression. This was a demon king. Silocke had been living in the Demon Realm for a long time and it didn’t really sink in.
斯洛克带着一种有点茫然的表情咕哝着。这是一个魔王。斯洛克已经在恶魔领域生活了很长时间，但他并没有真正理解这一点。
However, at least one thing was known.
然而，至少有一件事是众所周知的。
“…This is why the duke is so busy.”
“......这就是公爵这么忙的原因。”
“He is currently the closest person to becoming the demon king.”
“他是目前最有可能成为恶魔之王的人。”
It was clear that one of the demon nobles would become the demon king. Look at the cases of the other 72 demon kings. It was extremely rare for a non-demonic existence to ascend to the throne.
很明显，其中一个恶魔贵族将成为恶魔王。看看其他72个恶魔国王的案子。非恶魔的存在登上王位是极其罕见的。
Then there was a light warning sound from the Factory and a message came up.
然后从工厂传来一个轻微的警告声，一个信息出现了。
[A new main scenario has opened!]
(一个新的主要场景已经打开了!)
[The 24th ‘Revolutionary Game’ has begun.]
第二十四届“革命游戏”开始了
Silocke was startled by the sudden message but he pretended to be calm when he saw Han’s surprised expression. Han asked first,
斯洛克被这条突如其来的信息吓了一跳，但当他看到韩惊讶的表情时，他假装很平静。韩先生问,
“What is this message about?”
“这条信息是关于什么的?”
“Oh, you don’t know since you’re new here. This sometimes happens. It is the main scenario here. The Revolutionary Game.”
“哦，你不知道，因为你是新来的。这种情况有时会发生。这是这里的主要情节。革命游戏。”
“The Revolutionary Game?”
“革命游戏?”
“He was probably caught by the executioner while hiding. He is an unlucky person.”
“他可能是在躲藏的时候被刽子手抓住的。他是个不幸的人。”
The Revolutionary Game starting meant that the hidden ‘revolutionary’ had appeared. However, there couldn’t be a revolutionary in this industrial complex. Everyone clearly remembered what happened when the last revolutionary appeared 30 years ago.
革命游戏的开始意味着隐藏的革命者出现了。然而，这个工业联合体不可能有革命性的变化。每个人都清楚地记得30年前最后一次革命出现时发生了什么。
Silocke smiled and added, “Don’t worry, it isn’t a big deal. Wait a bit and the executioner will take his neck. It will be a fun spectacle.”
斯洛克笑着补充说:“别担心，这没什么大不了的。再等一会儿，刽子手就会砍下他的脖子。这将是一个有趣的奇观。”
Still no matter how long he waited, the message announcing the end of the game wasn’t heard. He was just thinking that something was strong with a low grade noble appeared.
不管他等了多久，比赛结束的消息还是没有被听到。他只是在想，有什么强大的低级贵族出现了。
Silocke immediately recognized who he was. It was because he was one of the hidden executioners. He rushed towards the office and Silocke asked first. “What is going on?”
斯洛克立刻认出了他是谁。这是因为他是隐藏的刽子手之一。他冲向办公室，斯洛克先问道。“这是怎么回事?”
“Someone has declared that they are a revolutionary!”
“有人说他们是革命者!”
Silocke knew it was a stupid question but he couldn’t help wondering, “What? Who?”
斯洛克知道这是一个愚蠢的问题，但他禁不住想:“什么?谁?”
“It is a new revolutionary!”
“这是一场新的革命!”
“Then what is his name?”
“那他叫什么名字?”
The low grade noble stuttered out a name. It was a name Silocke didn’t know. Unexpected, the bored looking Han opened his mouth. “Wait, what did you just say?”
低级贵族结结巴巴地说出了一个名字。这是斯洛克不知道的名字。出乎意料的是，这个看起来无聊的韩开口了。“等等，你刚才说什么?”
“Yes, it was definitely Yoo Jonghyuk…”
“是的，绝对是俞钟玉......”
“He called himself Yoo Jonghyuk?”
“他自称柳钟玉?”
Silocke hurriedly asked. “Do you know him?”
司洛克急忙问:“你认识他吗?”
“I know.”
“我知道。”
Han’s expression shone brightly but it was a somewhat warped smile. Even the demon Silocke felt creeped out. Han asked, “Where did he show up?”
韩寒的表情闪耀着明亮的光芒，但那是有点扭曲的微笑。甚至连恶魔斯洛克都感到毛骨悚然。韩寒问道:“他在哪里出现的?”

Night ended and I was called back to Aileen.
夜晚结束了，我被召回到爱玲身边。
To be exact, I was almost dragged back.
准确地说，我差点被拖回来。
The streets were almost completely turned upside down because of my declaration.
因为我的声明，街道几乎完全颠倒了。
-A new revolutionary has appeared!
一个新的革命者出现了！
The streets were loud with these words. If Aileen hadn’t popped up and dragged me away, I would still be sandwiched between the citizens. As Aileen was unable to control her emotions, I checked the information of the hidden scenario with a nonchalant mind.
这些话引起了街上的喧嚣。要不是爱玲突然出现把我拖走，我现在还被夹在市民中间呢。由于爱玲无法控制自己的情绪，我漫不经心地查看了这个隐藏的情节。

I roughly knew how to get the main scenario. In any case, I had to find the real revolutionary…
我大概知道如何得到主要的情节。在任何情况下，我必须找到真正的革命..。
I glanced at Aileen and said, “Then let’s get started.”
我瞥了爱玲一眼，说:“那我们开始吧。”
“…Are you crazy?” Aileen asked with an absurd expression, “Do you know what you are doing?”
“......你疯了吗?”爱玲用一种可笑的表情问道，“你知道你在做什么吗?”
“A revolution.”
“革命。”
“What revolution without a revolutionary? You’re a fake!”
“没有革命就没有革命，你是个骗子!”
“Really?”
“真的吗?”
“There is no way… don’t tell me…?”
“不可能......别告诉我......?”
She had a cute expression on her face. I shrugged lightly and Aileen’s face filled with despair. “Of course not! What the hell are you doing? Now it is all over!”
她脸上有一种可爱的表情。我轻轻地耸了耸肩，爱玲的脸上充满了绝望。“当然没有！你到底在干什么？现在一切都结束了!”
I shamelessly replied, “This is what you wanted. A revolution and the death of the duke.”
我无耻地回答:“这就是你想要的，一场革命和公爵的死亡。”
“I didn’t want it this way! This is a scam!”
“我不想这样!这是一个骗局!”
“How is a real revolution a scam? I will make it real.”
“一场真正的革命怎么会是骗局?我会让它成为现实。”
“A revolution isn’t such a joke!”
“革命不是这样一个笑话!”
“I agree with you. I didn’t declare that I am a revolutionary lightly. I agree that this industrial complex should be liberated.”
“我同意你的意见。我并没有轻易宣布我是一个革命者。我同意应该解放这个工业联合体。”
“The fact that you can say it so easily is proof that your will is light.”
“你能这么轻易地说出来，就证明了你的意志是光明的。”
Aileen’s voice contained deep rage. “Do you intend to do the revolution alone?”
爱玲的声音里带着深深的愤怒，“你打算一个人去革命吗?”
“…”
“ ... ”
“I have seen many revolutions in this industrial complex. How many revolutions have failed and how much blood has been shed? And…”
“我在这个工业综合体中看到了许多革命。革命失败了多少次，流了多少血？还有......”
“Don’t regard past failures as scriptures. There will be no change if you don’t do anything.”
“不要把过去的失败当成经典，什么都不做就不会有任何改变。”
“It is a scenario you can’t do in the first place!”
“这是一个你一开始就无法做到的场景!”
I understood Aileen’s feelings. In fact, the revolutionary scenario was a famous one in the industrial complex. The only rebellion protocol allowed by the scenario. Even so, the citizens of the industrial complex abandoned this game a long time ago.
我理解爱玲的感受。事实上，这场革命在工业联合体中是一个著名的场景。这个场景中唯一允许的反叛协议。即便如此，工业联合体的市民很久以前就放弃了这种游戏。
It was because there was no chance of winning. Thanks to this, the scenario lost its value as a scenario.
这是因为没有获胜的机会，正因为如此，这个场景失去了它作为一个场景的价值。
Aileen continued, “This is why I’ve been relying on exiles. The duke can never be killed using existing scenarios! There is no way to win against the damn executioners, let alone the duke!”
艾琳继续说，“这就是为什么我一直依赖流亡者。使用现有的方案，公爵是不可能被杀死的！没有办法打败刽子手，更不用说打败公爵了!”
“The scenario is made to be broken. There is a way to clear it if we look carefully.”
“这种情况是故意制造出来的。如果我们仔细观察，就有办法清除这种情况。”
“People are going to die because of you.”
“人们会因你而死。”
“I won’t let that happen.”
“我不会让这种事发生的。”
“Then you’ll be the first to die.”
“那你就是第一个死的。”
“I won’t die. I didn’t die before.”
“我不会死的，我以前没死过。”
“This…!” Aileen bit her lips. “That was just luck. Do you think the guardian will protect you again?”
“这个......!”爱玲咬了咬嘴唇。“那只是运气好。你认为守护者会再次保护你吗?”
“Well, I think they will protect me.”
“嗯，我想他们会保护我的。”
“You don’t know but the guardian will exhaust their vitality after using their protection. Every time they use it, they lose vitality and will eventually die. No one will protect you two or three times!”
“你不知道，但是守护者在使用了他们的保护之后会耗尽他们的生命力。每次他们使用它，他们失去活力，最终会死亡。没有人会保护你两三次!”
“The first time is the most important.”
“第一次是最重要的。”
“…”
“ ... ”
“Aileen, you know this place better than me but you don’t understand the people here.”
“爱玲，你比我更了解这个地方，但你不了解这里的人。”
Aileen was about to say something only to tightly close her lips for the first time. Perhaps Aileen had also felt something.
爱玲正要说什么，却第一次紧紧地闭上了嘴。也许爱玲也感觉到了什么。
The hidden guardian had appeared and protected me, a revolutionary. It was probably a sight that Aileen hadn’t seen for a long time. It was really a long time.
隐藏的守护者出现并保护了我，一个革命者。这可能是爱玲很久没有看到的景象。那真的是很长的一段时间。
Aileen licked her lips for a long time before speaking in a small voice. “Do you really think it is possible?”
爱玲舔了很长时间的嘴唇，然后小声说话。“你真的认为这是可能的吗?”
“It is possible. Haven’t you seen enough of my skills?”
“这是可能的。你还没有看够我的技能吗?”
It would be possible. I would make the impossible possible. Aileen replied with a sigh, “You aren’t a real revolutionary.”
这是有可能的。我会把不可能变成可能。爱玲叹了口气回答说:“你不是一个真正的革命家。”
“That’s why I need your help.”
“这就是为什么我需要你的帮助。”
Aileen’s expression shook at my words.
爱玲听了我的话，脸色发抖。
“Let’s make a revolution without a revolutionary.”
“让我们进行一场没有革命的革命。”
Aileen made a decision and replied, “…You have to collect the positions. This is a game that you can’t win alone.”
爱玲做了一个决定，回答说:“...你必须收集阵地。这是一场你无法独自赢得的比赛。”
“I guess so.”
“我想是的。”
“A guardian is the minimum condition for survival. You also need a ‘fighter’ to deal with the executioner and a ‘spy’ to find the hidden executioners.”
