「 Kim Dokja thought: I don’t know if people are doing well. 」
“不知道人们是否过得好”
I wondered if I could see the story of Earth again on the screen but there was nothing to be seen. It wasn’t easy for the wenny people to easily steal the videos of the dokkaebis.
我想知道我是否能再次在屏幕上看到地球的故事,但是什么也看不到。对于温柔的人来说,要轻易地偷到dokkaebis的视频并不容易。
Night was fast approaching. I hadn’t sleep well for a few days but the condition of my body wasn’t bad because Aileen had repaired my stories.
夜幕很快就要降临了。我已经有几天没睡好了,但是我的身体状况还不错,因为艾琳修复了我的故事。
“I have temporarily fixed it but you need to be careful with outside activities. Don’t you know? You are still outside the main scenario.”
“我已经暂时修复了它,但你需要小心对待外部活动。你不知道吗?你仍然处在主要场景之外。”
“You sound like a doctor.”
“你听起来像个医生。”
“I can’t speak like a clock maker because I’m not dealing with clocks now.”
“我不能像钟表匠那样说话,因为我现在不和钟表打交道。”
Aileen watched me before standing up with their repair equipment. Many things had happened in the past two days but she didn’t seem dissatisfied with the current situation.
艾琳看着我,然后拿着他们的修理设备站了起来。过去两天发生了许多事情,但她似乎对目前的情况并不感到不满。
「 Kim Dokja thought: If I hadn’t come, Aileen would’ve kept being a clock maker. 」
“金多克贾认为:如果我没有来,艾琳就会继续做钟表匠。”
In many regressions when Yoo Jonghyuk hadn’t come to the Demon World, Aileen would’ve actually survived. She quietly made clocks that told the time of her home planet and reflected alone on the disappearance of her planet. Sometimes she would struggle with Jang Hayoung or go out to eat dishes made by Mark… maybe it was a happier life for Aileen.
在很多回归中,当柳钟玉没有来到恶魔世界的时候,艾琳本可以活下来。她静静地制作时钟,告诉我们她母星的时间,然后独自回想她母星的消失。有时她会和张海英争吵,或者出去吃马克做的菜......也许这对艾琳来说是一种更快乐的生活。
“Do you know? The number of people who had been looking for clocks has increased in the last few days.”
“你知道吗?在过去的几天里,寻找钟表的人越来越多了。”
Aileen looked at me with an unknown gaze. I hesitated for a moment before asking, “Did their clocks break as a group?”
爱玲用一种陌生的目光望着我。我犹豫了一会儿,然后问道:“他们的闹钟是不是一起坏了?”
“Originally, people of the industrial complex don’t use clocks.”
“最初,工业园区的人们不使用钟表。”
“Why?”
“为什么?”
“It is because there is no use in knowing something like time.”
“这是因为知道时间之类的东西是没有用的。”
I remembered something I read in Ways of Survival. Someone had referred to the Demon World as the ‘city that lost time.’ “Then what about the hours of the Night?”
我想起了我在《生存之道》中读到的一些东西。有人把魔鬼世界称为“失去时间的城市”“那么夜晚的时间呢?”
“Can they change their fate if they know when Night comes?”
“如果他们知道黑夜何时来临,他们能改变自己的命运吗?”
A fear that was too old became a law. It had happened for so many years that Night in the industrial complex had become a natural thing.
一种过时的恐惧变成了法律。这样的事情已经发生了这么多年,夜晚在工业区已经成为一件自然的事情。
Once every three days, someone would die and their story would be used as fertilizer in the factory.
每隔三天,就会有人死去,他们的故事会被用作工厂的肥料。
No matter what life they lived, the stories they contained or the tomorrow they would live. Then the rest of the people would live for another three days.
无论他们过着怎样的生活,有着怎样的故事,也无论他们过着怎样的明天。剩下的人就可以再活三天。
“However, there was a Night where no one died. It is because of you.”
“然而,有一个夜晚,没有人死去。这是因为你。”
“…”
“ ... ”
“People have started to fear the Night again. It isn’t a natural thing and can be resolved. They think they perhaps they can live tomorrow. This is what they are thinking.”
“人们又开始害怕黑夜了。这不是一件自然的事情,可以解决。他们认为他们也许可以活到明天。这正是他们的想法。”
My eyes suddenly fell to the watch around Aileen’s wrist. There were three hours left until Night arrived…
我的眼睛突然转向艾琳手腕上的手表,离夜晚来临还有三个小时。
I listened to the ticking second hand as Aileen remained silent. Perhaps some people in the industrial complex were watching clocks like we were now.
我听着滴答作响的秒针声,爱玲一言不发。也许工业园区里的一些人也像我们现在一样在看时钟。
Perhaps tonight would be harder and more intense than last night. Then why? I listened to the sound of the second hand moving and felt a bit comforted. I wasn’t the one who should be comforted.
也许今晚会比昨晚更艰难更激烈。那为什么?我听到秒针移动的声音,感到一丝安慰。我不是那个需要安慰的人。
“Thank you.”
“谢谢。”
“…I’m not saying this to praise you. It just doesn’t look good if the revolutionary is depressed.”
“......我说这些不是为了赞扬你。只是如果革命者情绪低落,看起来就不好了。”
Aileen turned away. I laughed at Aileen and quickly added. “Ah, wait a minute.”
爱玲转过身去。我嘲笑了一下爱玲,很快补充道:“啊,等一下。”
“…What?”
“......什么?”
“Speaking of clocks, can you make something else?”
“说到时钟,你能做点别的吗?”
“Something else?”
“还有别的事吗?”
“It is called… a smartphone.”
“它叫做......智能手机。”
“What is that? Is it magic technology?”
“那是什么?是魔法技术吗?”
I was wondering how to explain it and gave an overview of the feature of the smartphone. Then Aileen spoke like she knew, “Do you mean something like a communication device? It shows a small panel?”
我想知道如何解释它,并给出了智能手机功能的概述。然后爱玲说话的样子就像她知道一样,“你的意思是什么通讯设备之类的吗?它显示的是一个小面板?”
“That’s right.”
“没错。”
“However, there isn’t a dokkaebi channel here so communication isn’t possible…”
“然而,这里没有dokkaebi渠道,所以交流是不可能的......”
Considering past experiences, it didn’t matter if communication was possible. My phone synced automatically so the text file would be created.
考虑到过去的经历,沟通是否可行并不重要。我的手机自动同步,所以文本文件将被创建。
“Don’t worry about it. Can you make it today?”
“别担心,你今天能做到吗?”
“I’m afraid it will take at least three days… I will try my best.”
“恐怕至少要三天时间......我会尽力的。”
“I know. Then do your best.”
“我知道,那就尽力吧。”
I left Aileen’s workshop and headed towards the pub. The people who found me on the streets stared with strange eyes. Some greeted me after making eye contact and others lightly gathered both hands together. As Aileen said, I could see something that looked like watches on their wrists.
我离开爱玲的工作间,朝酒吧走去。那些在街上发现我的人用奇怪的眼睛盯着我。一些人在与我进行眼神交流后向我打招呼,另一些人则轻轻地双手合十。正如艾琳所说,我能看到他们手腕上像手表一样的东西。
「 Yoo Jonghyuk felt lonely as he saw these watches. They got their time back but he still wasn’t living in this time. Yoo Jonghyuk suddenly thought. If so, where do I live in those countless hours? 」
「柳钟玉看到这些手表,感到孤独。他们找回了他们的时间,但他仍然没有生活在这个时间。柳钟玉突然想到。如果是这样,在这无数个小时里我住在哪里?」
It was the monologue of Yoo Jonghyuk, who once saved the Demon World. It was also one of my favourite scenes from Ways of Survival.
这是曾经拯救了恶魔世界的YooJonghyuk的独白。这也是《生存之道》中我最喜欢的场景之一。
I suddenly seemed to understand a bit of his mind. To the regressor Yoo Jonghyuk, the time in these worlds didn’t belong to him. In a life that could go back over and over again, the present time was meaningless.
我突然似乎理解了他的一点心思。对于回归者柳钟玉来说,这些世界中的时间并不属于他。在一个可以一次又一次回到过去的生活中,现在的时间是没有意义的。
Once this was over, I would ask Aileen to make me a watch. If he had something like this, he might become more attached to this world. Maybe the regression depression would get better…
一旦这一切结束,我会让艾琳给我做一块手表。如果他有这样的东西,他可能会更加依恋这个世界。也许回归抑郁症会好转..。
I knew that this world wouldn’t disappear when he went back in time but without him, it would be difficult to clear the remaining scenarios.
我知道当他回到过去的时候,这个世界不会消失,但是没有他,我们很难理清余下的情节。
“Ahahahahat, this is really funny.”
“啊哈哈哈,这真的很有趣。”
I opened the pub door and saw the laughing Jang Hayoung. From this distance, he looked like a junior high school student.
我打开酒吧的门,看到笑容可掬的张海英。从这个距离看,他看起来像是一个初级中学的学生。
“What are you doing?”
“你在干什么?”
This time, he didn’t make the ‘hiik’ sound. Instead, Jang Hayoung avoided my eyes like a child caught by his parents doing something bad.
这一次,他没有发出‘hiik’的声音。相反,张海英避开了我的目光,就像一个孩子被父母抓住做坏事一样。
“I-I was doing what you asked me to do!”
“我只是在做你让我做的事!”
“Did a fighter reply?”
“战斗机回答了吗?”
“That…” Jang Hayoung licked his lips for a while before eventually confessing the truth.
“那个......”张海英舔了一会儿嘴,最终承认了真相。
“…None of the fighters replied?”
“......没有一个战士回答?”
“R-Really? No one gave me a response!”
“真的吗?没人回答我!”
“What did you say?”
“你说什么?”
“I am a 15 year old schoolgirl…”
“我是一个15岁的女学生......”
My forehead vein bulged. “Hey! They didn’t reply because you sent that message!”
我额头上的青筋鼓了起来。“嘿!他们没有回复是因为你发了那条信息!”
“But it worked before…”
“但它以前是有效的......”
“Do you think they are all like the black flame dragon? How many messages did you send?”
“你以为他们都像黑火龙吗?你发了多少条信息?”
“A total of 300…”
“总共300个......”
Maybe they thought it was a spam message and blocked it. Damn.
也许他们认为这是垃圾邮件,所以封锁了它,该死。
“It’s a big deal. I only know the fighters on that list.”
“这是件大事,我只认识名单上的拳手。”
Jang Hayoung realized that he was in trouble and paled. “Then what now?”
张海英意识到自己有麻烦了,脸色苍白。“那现在怎么办?”
This was why I needed Ways of Survival. If I had the text file would’ve allowed me to re-read things and search for more information about the fighters.
这就是为什么我需要生存之道。如果我有文本文件,我就可以重新阅读并搜索更多关于战斗机的信息。
“Let’s find out if there are any other fighters. For now…”
“让我们看看还有没有其他的战士。现在......”
I was reminded of a few modifiers for the constellations. Was there someone among the constellations who could help us?
我想起了一些星座的修饰语,星座中有人可以帮助我们吗?
“Write a message to Prisoner of the Golden Headband.”
“给金发囚徒写封信。”
“…Isn’t he a powerful constellation?”
“他不是一个强大的星座吗?”
I didn’t know if he had any skills related to a fighter. However, now was the time to grab onto any piece of straw.
我不知道他是否有任何与拳击手相关的技能。然而,现在是抓住任何一根稻草的时候了。
Jang Hayoung typed a message and we waited. One minute, two minutes… five minutes.
张海英打了一条信息,我们等了一分钟,两分钟,五分钟。
Jang Hayoung shook his head. “There is no reply.”
张海英摇了摇头,“没有回音。”
“Write this.” I dictated the contents of the message again.
“写这个。”我再次口述了信息的内容。
Then Jang Hayoung was amazed. “Can I use something like this?”
张海英很惊讶,“我能用这样的东西吗?”
“You just have to get his attention once.”
“你只需要引起他的注意一次。”
The Great Sage the Equal of Heaven was a lazy guy. It must be to this degree to get a reply. Less than 10 seconds after Jang Hayoung sent this message, the following notification popped up.
大圣天平是一个懒惰的人。必须达到这种程度才能得到回复。张海英发出这条消息后不到10秒,接下来的通知就弹了出来。
[A reply has arrived!]
(回复已经到了!)
“A-A reply is here!”
“啊,答案在这里!”
“Is that right?”
“是吗?”
For reference, the message I sent was as followed:
作为参考,我发送的信息如下:
[Regrow your hair.]
[重新梳理你的头发]
Every time I did something, he would pull out his hair in the indirect message. Thus, I figured that he had hair loss. I asked, “What did he say?”
每次我做了什么事,他都会在间接的信息中扯他的头发。因此,我认为他有脱发。我问:“他说了什么?”
“If we meet, he will kill me.”
“如果我们见面,他会杀了我。”
“What else?”
“还有什么?”
“He asked who I am. Should I say Yoo Jonghyuk?”
“他问我是谁,我应该叫柳永玉吗?”
“…Don’t answer.”
“......别回答。”
It would be fun to say Yoo Jonghyuk but it would only make the matter bigger. I rubbed my temples. The Great Sage the Equal of Heaven ate the wrong bait so we had to find another way.
说柳钟玉会很有趣,但这只会让事情变得更糟。我揉了揉太阳穴。大圣天平吃错了饵,所以我们不得不另辟蹊径。
“Demon-like Judge of Fire… I don’t think it is good to call her. Secretive Plotter… I still don’t know his identity…”
“像魔鬼一样的火之审判官......我认为给她打电话不太好。秘密策划者......我还不知道他的身份......”
It had become troublesome.
这已经变得很麻烦了。
“Queen of the Darkest Spring and God of Wine and Ecstasy are from Olympus…”
“黑暗之泉的女王、酒神和狂喜之神来自奥林匹斯山......”
If I revealed that I was alive, some of them would help. The problem was that if I clarified my identity, the nebulae would notice my survival.
如果我透露我还活着,他们中的一些人会帮助我。问题是,如果我澄清了我的身份,星云就会注意到我的存活。
“It is difficult.”
“这很难。”
It was the first challenge I encountered after entering the Demon World. There wasn’t much time left until Night arrived.
这是我进入恶魔世界后遇到的第一个挑战,没有多少时间了,直到夜晚来临。
If Jang Hayoung didn’t become a fighter then all the plans I set up for tonight would be wasted. At this time, Jang Hayoung wondered, “Can the black dragon help?”
如果张海英没有成为一名战士,那么我今晚所有的计划都将白费。这时,张海英想:“黑龙能帮忙吗?”
I paused for a moment as I thought about the identity of the ‘black dragon.’ “…You’re still talking to him?”
我停顿了一下,想到了“黑龙”的身份。“......你还在和他说话?”
“Yes.”
“是的。”
“Forget that guy. He probably has nothing.”
“忘了那家伙吧,他可能一无所有。”
“No, he was a fighter in the Demon World for a while.”
“不,他曾经在恶魔世界里打过一阵子仗。”
…The Abyssal Black Flame Dragon was once a fighter? That story never came out in Ways of Survival.
...深渊黑火龙曾经是一个战士?那个故事从来没有出现在生存的方式。
Come to think of it, details of the Abyssal Black Flame Dragon were never described in earnest so it wasn’t an impossible story… “However, he didn’t like the rules of the scenario and killed them all.”
仔细想想,关于深渊黑火龙的细节从来没有被认真地描述过,所以这并不是一个不可能的故事......“然而,他不喜欢这个场景的规则,把他们全杀了。”
“What?”
“什么?”
“The duke, the revolutionary and the executioners, he killed them all?”
“公爵,革命者和刽子手,他把他们都杀了?”
Something suddenly came up. Perhaps it was when the 64th Demon Realm was integrated? There was one such madman in the history of the Demon World. That person was the Abyssal Black Flame Dragon?
突然发生了一些事。也许是第64个恶魔王国被整合的时候?在恶魔世界的历史上有一个这样的疯子。那个人就是深海黑焰龙?
“Ask him if he can pass on the fighter’s skills to you.”
“问问他能不能把拳击技巧传授给你。”
The Abyssal Black Flame Dragon was a constellation of the evil system and sending a message to him wouldn’t be too obvious. It would be best if we could get help from him.
深渊黑焰龙是邪恶系统的一个星座,向他传递一个信息不会太明显。如果我们能从他那里得到帮助就最好了。
Jang Hayoung entered something and then he suddenly lit up. “It isn’t a problem to give it to me since he isn’t using it anyway.”
张海英进了什么东西,然后突然兴奋起来。“给我也不是问题,反正他也不用。”
“Really?”
“真的吗?”
…It was an unexpected help. The problem could be solved in a way I hadn’t thought of?
...这是一个意想不到的帮助。这个问题可以用我没有想到的方法解决?
In fact, neither the black dragon or Kim Namwoon were good guys. I had to carefully read the parts where they appeared once I got the text file back.
事实上,无论是黑龙还是金南云都不是好人。当我拿回文本文件时,我必须仔细阅读它们出现的部分。
By the way, Jang Hayoung’s words weren’t over. “However, he has one condition?”
顺便说一句,张海英的话还没说完。“但是,他有一个条件?”
That’s right. That jerk couldn’t give it away so easily.
没错,那个混蛋不可能这么轻易就放弃。
“In any case, any transaction through the wall requires a payment. What is his condition?”
无论如何,任何穿过墙壁的交易都需要付款。他的情况如何
“He has a problem recently.”
“他最近有一个问题。”
“A problem?”
“有问题吗?”
“He isn’t getting along very well with his incarnation…”
“他和他的化身相处得不太好......”
“His incarnation?”
“他的化身?”
“His incarnation keeps ignoring him.”
“他的化身一直无视他。”
If it was the incarnation of the Abyssal Black Flame Dragon… “She is in a crisis right now but she isn’t listening to his words…”
如果它是深渊黑火龙的化身......“她现在正处于危机之中,但她没有听他的话......”
…A crisis? I quickly ordered Jang Hayoung. “Tell him to explain the story in detail.”
...一场危机?我赶紧命令张海英,“让他详细解释这个故事。”
