The door opened and a middle-aged man appeared. His hair was white and he wore a dirty apron. The faint scar on his cheek was the only sign of ‘strength’ that could be found on the man’s face.
门开了,一个中年男子出现了。他的头发是白色的,系着一条脏围裙。他脸颊上微弱的疤痕是唯一能在他脸上找到的“力量”的标志。
He didn’t seem like a person who would be a ‘guardian.’ Aileen looked incredulously at the man and hesitantly sat back down. “You are a guardian?”
他看起来不像是一个会成为“监护人”的人爱玲怀疑地看着那个人,犹豫地又坐了下来。“你是监护人?”
“Yes.”
“是的。”
“…Really?”
“...真的吗?”
“I was worried you would react like this.”
“我就担心你会有这样的反应。”
Aileen glanced at me after hearing the middle-aged man’s words. I smiled at AIleen. “I told you. They will be around us.”
爱玲听了那个中年人的话后,瞥了我一眼。我对艾琳笑了笑。“我告诉过你。他们就在我们身边。”
“However, to be this close…”
“然而,能够如此接近......”
The guardian was the pub owner who previously made the side dishes for me. Of course, I guessed from the beginning that he was the guardian. He was very similar to the guardian who appeared in Ways of Survival.
监护人是之前为我做配菜的酒吧老板。当然,我从一开始就猜测他是守护者。他与《生存之道》中的守护者非常相似。
I also knew that he would save me. If I didn’t know this, I wouldn’t have declared myself a revolutionary.
我也知道他会救我,如果我不知道这一点,我就不会宣布自己是一个革命者。
Aileen asked, “Why did you keep quiet until now? If you are really the guardian, you’ve had many chances to save people.”
爱玲问:“你为什么到现在才说话?如果你真的是守护者,你就有很多机会去拯救人们。”
“I had to save my points. You know that a guardian can only save people a total of five times.”
“我必须保存我的积分。你知道,一个监护人总共只能救人五次。”
“I know, but if you didn’t use all five times…”
“我知道,但是如果你没有用完所有的五次......”
“If I had saved someone else…” The pub owner glanced at me before continuing. “The revolutionary would be dead.”
“如果我救了别人......”酒吧老板看了我一眼,然后继续说道,“那个革命者就死定了。”
“You sound certain that the revolutionary would appear.”
“你好像确信革命者会出现。”
“I have always been waiting. Not everyone gave up like you.”
“我一直在等待。不是每个人都像你一样放弃了。”
“…Are you saying that to me?”
“你是在对我说这话吗?”
The atmosphere seemed to be heating up and Jang Hayoung quickly interrupted.
气氛似乎在升温,张海英很快打断了他。
“Now now Aileen, Pub Owner. Let’s stop fighting and think about things going forward. Isn’t it good for us if the guardian shows up?”
”“现在是艾琳,酒馆老板。让我们停止争吵,想想未来的事情。如果守护者出现了,对我们不是很好吗?”
I admired his skillful method of changing the topic. Jang Hayoung was one of the most extraordinary people in Ways of Survival. He was a foul-mouthed person who desired to stay here but he was originally an excellent mediator who understood the hearts of people better than anyone else.
我钦佩他巧妙地改变话题的方法。张海英是《生存之道》中最杰出的人物之一。他是一个满嘴脏话的人,渴望留在这里,但他起初是一个优秀的调停者,比任何人都更了解人们的心。
Jang Hayoung coughed and tapped on the shoulder of the pub owner. “At any rate, I am surprised. I thought you were only good at cooking. Honestly, couldn’t you have given us a clue?”
张海英咳嗽了一声,拍了拍酒吧老板的肩膀。“无论如何,我很惊讶。我以为你只擅长做饭。老实说,你就不能给我们点提示吗?”
“A good chef often has many secrets. Speaking of the revolutionary, how did you like my cooking earlier?”
“一个好厨师往往有很多秘密。说到革命,你觉得我刚才做的菜怎么样?”
“Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to eat it. Someone else ate all of it.”
“不幸的是,我没有机会吃。有人把它们全吃光了。”
Jang Hayoung stared at me with wide eyes and the pub owner chuckled. Aileen poured cold water on the atmosphere that had barely improved.
张海英睁大眼睛盯着我,酒吧老板笑了。爱玲把冷水泼在几乎没有改善的气氛上。
“You guys are laughing like you’re already colleagues. Don’t you know? The game has already begun.”
“你们笑得好像你们已经是同事了。你们不知道吗?游戏已经开始了。”
If Jang Hayoung was an excellent mediator, Aileen was an experienced schemer. She might not be in the ‘lying down dragon’ grade but she pointed out something that a revolutionary should be suspicious about.
如果说张海英是一个出色的调停者,那么艾琳就是一个经验丰富的阴谋家。她可能不属于“卧龙”级,但她指出了一些革命者应该怀疑的东西。
“I know.”
“我知道。”
In fact, her advice was pointed to a verse of the Revolutionary Game that appeared in Ways of Survival.
事实上,她的建议是针对出现在《生存之道》中的革命游戏中的一段诗句。
「It is important to gather the same side. But the most important thing is finding out the identity of the enemy. 」
「聚在一起很重要」。但最重要的是找出敌人的身份
It wasn’t easy to distinguish between who was an enemy and who was a friend. Most revolutionaries failed and self-destructed because they couldn’t break through this point.
区分谁是敌人谁是朋友并不容易。大多数革命者失败了,自我毁灭了,因为他们无法突破这一点。
The pub owner received my gaze and smiled bitterly. “Do you perhaps doubt me? Do you think I am a snitch for the duke?”
酒吧老板接受了我的注视,苦笑着。”“你也许怀疑我?你认为我是公爵的告密者吗?”
I laughed without saying a word. I already knew that the pub owner was a guardian. Thus, this gesture was for the people other than me.
我一言不发地笑了起来。我已经知道酒吧老板是监护人。因此,这个姿态是为了别人而不是为了我。
“Shall we start with the introductions first?”
“我们先从介绍开始好吗?”
“I am Mark. How about you?”
“我是马克,你呢?”
“I am Yoo Jonghyuk.”
“我是柳永玉。”
“Yoo Jonghyuk? Hrmm. It sounds like a name I’ve heard before…”
“柳永玉?赫姆。听起来像是我以前听过的名字......”
It was because the Earth scenarios were spreading. Therefore, there might be a person who remembered the name ‘Yoo Jonghyuk’ in the Demon World.
这是因为地球的情景正在蔓延。因此,在恶魔的世界里,可能会有一个人记得这个名字。
I could use this hand if necessary. There were also a few story fragments that I had obtained… “Well, let’s go to the point. I’m not the duke’s snitch. It is hard to believe but I’m being honest.”
如果需要的话,我可以用这只手。我还获得了一些故事片段......“好吧,让我们开门见山。我不是公爵的线人。这很难让人相信,但我是诚实的。”
“No, I believe you.”
“不,我相信你。”
“You believe me?
”“你相信我吗?
“Yes. You are really the guardian.”
“是的,你真的是守护者。”
Mark stared at me like I was a fool. “…I don’t know what happened but I guess I passed the test?”
马克盯着我,好像我是个傻瓜。“......我不知道发生了什么,但我想我通过了测试?”
“That’s right. Congratulations on entering the Revolutionary Army.”
“没错,祝贺你参加了革命军。”
The aghast Aileen shouted at the sudden conclusion. “No, wait a minute!”
惊骇的爱玲听到这个突然的结论大声喊道:“不,等一下!”
“This person came right after I made the revolutionary declaration. The duke’s snitch wouldn’t have responded this quickly. The least Revolutionary Scenario was 30 years ago.”
“这个人在我发表革命宣言之后就来了。公爵的告密者不会这么快做出回应。至少革命性的情景发生在30年前。”
Aileen paused at my quick clarification before she continued, “It isn’t wrong but I don’t think this is enough evidence.
艾琳在我迅速澄清之后停顿了一下,然后继续说道,“这没有错,但是我认为这不是足够的证据。
“I do. I am sure that this person is the guardian.”
“我知道。我确信这个人就是监护人。”
“How?”
“怎么做?”
“Just as I am sure that you are an engineer of Lindberg.”
“就像我确信你是林德伯格的工程师一样。”
“How could you…”
“你怎么能......”
“I also know that Aslan over there is really Jang Hayoung and that he is from Earth.”
“我还知道那边的阿斯兰实际上是张海英,他来自地球。”
“Hey! M privacy…!”
“嘿!我的隐私......!”
Aileen’s expression changed once she saw Jang Hayoung’s reaction. “You… can you see the attribute information?”
看到张海英的反应,艾琳的表情变了。“你......你能看到属性信息吗?”
“As much as necessary.”
“需要多少就给多少。”
In fact, I had already checked Mark’s attribute information. Aileen didn’t understand but she was finally convinced. “You have an unusual skill. Until now, there wasn’t a skill that could give a glimpse of the position information.”
事实上,我已经检查了马克的属性信息。爱玲不明白,但她终于相信了。“你有一种不同寻常的技能。到目前为止,还没有一种技能可以让人一瞥这个职位的信息。”
“My skill is special.”
“我的技术很特别。”
“…I’m glad you have such a skill. Still, the situation is very hopeless.”
“......我很高兴你有这样的本事。不过,形势还是非常绝望。”
“It should be very hopeful.”
“这应该是非常有希望的。”
Aileen sighed with half-hearted resignation and said, “With this, the Fake Revolutionary Army is formed.”
爱玲半心半意地放弃了,叹了口气说:“有了这个,假革命军就成立了。”
“…Fake Revolutionary Army? What does that mean?”
“假革命军?那是什么意思?”
That reminded me, my situation was a bit complicated. I should first give an explanation. The people here were those I needed to take to the end of this scenario.
这提醒了我,我的处境有点复杂。我应该先解释一下。这里的人就是那些我需要带到最后的人。
I took some time to persuasively explain that I wasn’t a real revolutionary but a person who could make the revolution a success.
我花了一些时间来令人信服地解释,我不是一个真正的革命者,而是一个可以使革命成功的人。
“Whaaaat?!”
“什么?!”
“…You’re not a revolutionary?”
“......你不是一个革命者?”
Two people screamed before my words were over. Thinking back, I never got a good evaluation every time I announced a project at the company. Mark, who exhausted his points because of me, completely lost his soul.
我的话还没说完,就有两个人尖叫起来。回想起来,我从来没有在每次宣布公司的项目时都得到一个好的评价。因为我,马克用尽了他的视角,完全失去了他的灵魂。
“Crazy. A fake revolutionary, a poor guardian, the chairman of the Civil Council and a frivolous little boy… is this a joke?”
“疯了。一个冒牌的革命者,一个可怜的监护人,公民委员会主席和一个轻浮的小男孩......这是一个玩笑吗?”
“Frivolous little boy? Hey, you are talking too much Mark!”
“轻佻的小男孩?嘿,你说得太多了,马克!”
“Stop fighting. The situation is like this so we should worry about what we will do next.”
“停止战斗。情况就是这样,所以我们应该担心下一步该怎么做。”
“Mr. Fake Revolutionary, do you have a plan?”
“假革命先生,你有什么计划吗?”
“I have a few things to prepare.”
“我有一些事情要准备。”
I briefly explained my plan to the group. The haggard-looking people became more serious as I talked. By the end of the story, Mark who joined the Fake Revolutionary Army opened his mouth. “Certainly, those are the measures we need now.”
我向大家简要地解释了我的计划。随着我的谈话,那些面容憔悴的人变得更加严肃。在故事的结尾,加入了假革命军的马克开口了。“当然,这些就是我们现在需要的措施。”
“Are you going to participate?”
“你会参加吗?”
“I don’t have a choice. What will you do first?”
“我别无选择,你首先要做什么?”
“I have to change my face.”
“我必须改变我的脸。”
I pulled out the story fragment ‘Face of A Casanova Who Died from Sexual Relations.’ Mark seemed puzzled. “Face? That wasn’t in the plan…”
我拿出故事片段‘一个死于性关系的卡萨诺瓦的脸’马克似乎很困惑。“脸?这不在计划之内......”
“The most important things in the world aren’t included in a plan.”
“世界上最重要的事情并没有包含在计划中。”
“Why your face?”
“为什么是你的脸?”
“Shouldn’t I be handsome to be a revolutionary? Let’s see a few hands.”
“我当革命家不是应该很帅吗?让我们看看几只手。”

At the same time, Earl Silocke and Han were walking down the streets. Silocke walked through the streets and glanced at Han. “Hey Han.”
与此同时,斯洛克伯爵和韩走在街上。斯洛克走过街道,瞥了一眼韩。“嘿,韩。”
“What?”
“什么?”
Silocke wasn’t satisfied with this answer but the other person was in contact with ‘Asmodeus.’ Since Han was willingly joining him, becoming closer wasn’t bad.
斯洛克对这个答案并不满意,但另一个人联系了“Asmodeus”既然韩志刚是自愿加入他的行列,那么亲近他也不是坏事。
“…I think you originally weren’t a demon. Can I ask where you came from?”
“......我想你本来不是魔鬼。我能问问你是从哪里来的吗?”
Surprisingly, Han gave an answer. “A place called Earth.”
令人惊讶的是,韩给出了答案:“一个叫做地球的地方。”
“Earth! Ah, I’ve heard that name before.”
“地球!啊,我以前听过这个名字。”
“I guess. The planet is famous these days.”
“我想是的。这些天这个星球很出名。”
“Since you got Asmodeus’ attention, you must have considerable skill?”
“既然你引起了阿斯莫德斯的注意,你一定有相当高的技巧吧?”
“Considerable skill?”
“相当的技术?”
Silocke was a bit amazed by the pride that emerged on Han’s face. Was he making this face because he was such a great person?
斯洛克对韩相宇脸上浮现的骄傲感到有点吃惊。他做出这种表情是因为他是一个伟大的人吗?
“What were you originally? A sword master? Or a great magician?”
“你原来是什么?剑术大师?还是一个伟大的魔术师?”
“It is similar.”
“情况类似。”
“What is it?”
“这是什么?”
“I was the department head of a large company.”
“我曾是一家大公司的部门主管。”
“A large company? What is that?”
“大公司?那是什么?”
“Hmm… you don’t know it?” Han thought for a moment. “If I had to give an explanation, it is a group similar to a nebula.”
“嗯......你不知道?”韩寒想了一会儿。“如果非要我解释的话,它是一个类似于星云的星团。”
“…A nebula!”
“...星云!”
“I am just giving an analogy.”
“我只是打了个比方。”
“Then you were a ‘constellation’?”
“那么你是一个‘星座’?”
“No, but it is a similar analogy.”
“不,但这是一个类似的类比。”
“Then… you are amazing.”
“那么......你真了不起。”
Silocke didn’t understand the words ‘company’ or ‘department head’ but he was forced to feel surprised at Han’s explanation. It felt like he slightly understood how Han made contact with Asmodeus.
斯洛克听不懂“公司”或“部门主管”这两个词,但他不得不对韩寒的解释感到惊讶。感觉就像他稍微明白了韩是如何与阿斯莫德斯接触的。
“…What is that?”
“......那是什么?”
At the gateway between the nobles section and the civilians’ section, a huge barricade was being built. It was obviously an iron gate. Silocke shouted in an annoying voice, “Hey, what are you doing right now?”
在贵族区和平民区之间的门口,正在建造一个巨大的街垒。这显然是一扇铁门。斯洛克用恼人的声音喊道:“嘿,你现在在干什么?”
A citizen working on the barricade replied, “Ah, a noble.”
一个在街垒工作的市民回答说:“啊,贵族。”
“I asked what you are doing!”
“我问你在干什么!”
“Can’t you tell just by looking? We are blocking the way.”
“你们看不出来吗?我们挡住路了。”
Silocke was a bit startled by the shameless voice. “Who made you do this?”
斯洛克被那无耻的声音吓了一跳:“谁让你这么做的?”
“This is the chairman’s orders. For the moment, nobles can’t enter among the citizens.”
“这是主席的命令,现在贵族不能进入市民中间。”
“What bullshit. What right…. get rid of those barricades now! Otherwise I will immediately throw the two of you into the dump.”
“胡说八道。什么权利..。马上把路障拆掉!否则我会立刻把你们两个扔进垃圾堆。”
The citizens flinched and retreated at his ferocious growl. Then another voice was heard from behind the citizens.
市民们畏缩了一下,听到他的咆哮声后退了回去,接着又听到了市民们身后传来的另一个声音。
“If you are confident then try it.”
“如果你有信心,那就试一试。”
The citizen who spoke was different from the other citizens. The unknown citizen released a powerful force from his body.
说话的公民与其他公民不同,这个不知名的公民从他的身体里释放出一股强大的力量。
Silocke became tense and retreated. Most citizens were weaker than nobles. However, that didn’t apply to all citizens.
斯洛克变得紧张而退却,大多数公民都比贵族弱小,然而,这并不适用于所有的公民。
There were the mysterious dimensional movers and some of them were as strong as the demon nobles.
还有一些神秘的空间移动者,他们中的一些人和魔鬼贵族一样强大。
“You are doing this just because there is a revolutionary? Do you think we can’t kill him?”
“你这样做只是因为有一个革命分子?你认为我们不能杀了他吗?”
The reason why the citizens never stood up against the nobles was due to fear of the execution at Night. However, things started changing from last night.
市民们之所以从不站出来反对贵族们,是因为他们害怕在夜晚被处决。然而,事情从昨晚开始发生了变化。
“You didn’t kill him yesterday.”
“你昨天没有杀他。”
The citizens muttered as they gazed at each other. Silocke was furious but he couldn’t cross the barricade. He was alone and had no way to deal with so many citizens. At this time, Han asked, “Are those guys holding a strike?”
市民们互相凝视着,喃喃自语。斯洛克怒不可遏,但他无法越过街垒。他孤身一人,没有办法对付这么多市民。这时,韩寒问道:“那些人在罢工吗?”
“Strike?”
“罢工?”
“They are talking about doing what they’re not supposed to do.”
“他们在谈论做不该做的事情。”
Silocke understood what Han was saying and nodded. “…It is a similar situation.”
斯洛克明白韩的意思,点点头。“......情况也差不多。”
“I see. Leave it to me. I am a professional at dealing with this.” A different type of wickedness emerged on Han’s face. “This happens when the workers don’t know who they are going against. For starters, you have to implant some fear.”
“我明白了。交给我吧。我是处理此事的专业人士。”汉的脸上出现了一种不同的邪恶。“当工人们不知道他们的对手是谁时,就会发生这种情况。首先,你必须灌输一些恐惧。”
