“…What aren’t you saying?”
“你有什么话没说?”
Obviously, there were good constellations in this world. They were the constellations I read about in Ways of Survival. After Ways of Survival being a reality, there were some constellations that I reevaluated. Still, it didn’t change that their essence was a ‘constellation.’
很明显,这个世界上有很好的星座。它们就是我在《生存之道》中读到的星座。在《生存之道》成为现实之后,我重新评估了一些星座。不过,这并没有改变他们的本质是一个“星座”
I didn’t know what my expression was like but Jang Hayoung had worried eyes. “…Is something wrong?”
我不知道自己的表情是什么样的,但张海英的眼睛里充满了忧虑。“......出什么事了吗?”
“No, nothing like that.”
“不,不是那样的。”
“Then why are you worrying?”
“那你还担心什么?”
I was somehow hesitant to speak and shook my head lightly. Jang Hayoung stared straight at me and stated, “I would like to hear it.”
我有点犹豫不敢开口,轻轻地摇了摇头。张海英直盯着我说:“我想听听。”
There was something familiar about this and I couldn’t help smiling. I closely examined Jang Hayoung’s face. A sharp nose on pure white skin. Clear and deep eyes below eyebrows that were drawn in a soft line…
这里有些熟悉的东西,我禁不住微笑起来。我仔细观察了张海英的脸。纯白皮肤上尖尖的鼻子。眉毛下面清澈而深邃的眼睛被画成一条柔和的线条..。
A faint guilt filled my heart.
我心中充满了一丝罪恶感。
「 He is a kid who likes stories. 」 「 Because Yoo Jonghyuk is a good person, this person should taste the bitterness of reality… 」 「 Jonghyuk doesn’t listen to people. The other person should be a good listener. 」
“他是个喜欢讲故事的孩子”「因为柳永旭是个好人,所以这个人应该尝尝现实的苦味」「修士永旭不听人说话」。对方应该是一个好的倾听者
The result of all the comments I made was now in front of me. He had eyes to see the world, a nose to breath and ears to hear the story. Perhaps it was because of guilt but I spoke my first words unknowingly. “There are people who think bad things.”
我发表的所有评论的结果现在就摆在我面前。他有眼睛可以看世界,有鼻子可以呼吸,有耳朵可以听故事。也许是因为内疚,但我不知不觉地说出了我的第一句话。“有些人认为事情不妙。”
“People?”
“人?”
I nodded and continued, “They are overall bad people. They bully or gossip about others and even commit some terrible things.”
我点点头,接着说:“他们总体上是坏人。他们欺负或者说别人的闲话,甚至做出一些可怕的事情。”
Jang Hayoung listened to the story and asked me, “Do you hate the people you are talking about?”
张海英听了这个故事后问我:“你讨厌你说的那些人吗?”
“…I thought so but I don’t know.”
“我也这么想,但我不知道。”
I didn’t know if I was serious or not.
我不知道我是不是认真的。
“Some people were better than I thought and some people acted differently than what I knew.”
“有些人比我想象的要好,有些人的行为与我想象的不同。”
The countless words of Ways of Survival that I read in the past flowed through my mind.
我过去读过的无数生存之道的文字在我的脑海中回荡。
“What is real about them? What is reality and what is fake? I don’t know very well.”
“他们哪些是真实的?哪些是真实的,哪些是假的?我不太清楚。”
Jang Hayoung silently listened despite my vague wording. How much time passed? Jang Hayoung thought about something. “It’s hard to understand what exactly is troubling you… so you want to know more about these people?”
尽管我措辞含糊,张海英还是静静地听着。多长时间过去了?张海英想了想。“你很难理解到底是什么在困扰你......所以你想更多地了解这些人?”
“What?”
“什么?”
“They seem like bad people but there might be some good people. Well, isn’t that your expectations? No?”
“他们看起来像坏人,但可能也有好人。嗯,这不是你的期望吗?不是吗?”
Why did it sound so romantic? There was a backlash but when I thought about it, this might be the problem. Jang Hayoung nodded and said, “Every now and then, too, you have to talk. Talk to the people.”
为什么听起来这么浪漫?有一个反弹,但当我想到它,这可能是问题。张海英点点头说:“你也要时不时地说说话。与人民交谈。”
“It would be useless to talk.”
“谈话是没有用的。”
“Why?”
“为什么?”
“Just…”
“只是......”
I couldn’t explain it well. It was a helpless feeling that couldn’t be described. However, it was when a person became most helpless that they were the most truthful.
我解释不清楚。那是一种无法形容的无助的感觉。然而,当一个人变得最无助的时候,他们才是最诚实的。
“I think there is a huge wall.”
“我认为那里有一堵巨大的墙。”
[The Fourth Wall is looking at you.]
[第四面墙在看着你。]
“You and I are talking like this but we’re not really communicating. There is no such thing as communication in this world.”
“你和我这样谈话,但我们没有真正交流。这个世界上根本没有沟通这回事。”
[The ‘Unidentified Wall’ is looking at the Fourth Wall.] 「 Kim Dokja thought: Maybe reality or the novel is all the same. 」 「 I’ve read it for so long and I still don’t know. 」
“不明之墙”正在看第四道墙“金道嘉心想:也许现实或小说都是一样的。”“我读了这么久,还是不知道”
「 Maybe I will never know. 」
“也许我永远也不会知道”
I felt like I was mistaken and that the moment I spoke these words, everything would change. This optical illusion was broken by Jang Hayoung’s words.”I might be different from others but of course, there is no such thing.”
我觉得我错了,当我说出这些话的时候,一切都会改变。这个错视被Janghayyoung的话打破了我可能与其他人不同,但当然,没有这种东西。”
“What?”
“什么?”
“Everyone has a wall and communication is impossible… that’s obvious.”
“每个人都有一堵墙,交流是不可能的......这是显而易见的。”
I couldn’t believe the friendly Jang Hayoung thought so. It was a bit surprising. Then Jang Hayoung continued, “However, we still have to talk. Even if there is a huge wall, there is a person behind that wall.”
我简直不敢相信友好的张海英会这么想。这有点令人惊讶。然后张海英继续说,“但是,我们仍然需要谈谈。即使有一堵巨大的墙,墙后面也有一个人。”
“…What can we say when there is a wall?”
“......当有一堵墙的时候我们能说什么呢?”
“Write on the wall.”
“在墙上写字。”
My mouth dropped openat the brazen words.
听到这些厚颜无耻的话,我的嘴张得大大的。
“If you shit or pee, you will leave something on the wall. That way, the other party will recognize it.”
“如果你拉屎或撒尿,你会在墙上留下一些东西。这样,对方就会认出来。”
“Why would you do such a thing? The other person is beyond the wall anyway…”
“你为什么要这么做?反正对方也在长城之外......”
“Still, you should leave a mark.” Does that make sense?” “There is no apparent meaning.”
“不过,你还是应该留个记号。”这有意义吗?““没有明显的意义。”
“Then?”
“然后呢?”
“It is just important that you left it.”
“重要的是你离开了它。”
“The other party won’t know so why?”
“对方不会知道,为什么?”
“At least the wall has changed.” I was speechless for a moment. Jang Hayoung spoke in a resolute voice. “Then one day, someone might read it.”
“至少这堵墙已经变了。”我一时说不出话来。张海英用坚定的声音说。“然后有一天,可能会有人读到它。”
I stared at Jang Hayoung. Jang Hayoung, who was born into this world because of my greed, lived a life unrelated to me. Maybe he became a better person than I thought. I laughed with some bitterness. “I have one question.”
我盯着张海英。张海英,因为我的贪婪而出生在这个世界上,过着与我无关的生活。也许他变成了一个比我想象中更好的人。我苦笑了一下。“我有一个问题。”
“…Huh?”
“嗯?”
“Did you talk to the constellations in this way?”
“你是这样跟星座说话的吗?”
“Ah, that…”
“啊,那个......”
Judging by his hesitation, I must be correct. I had a bit of understanding of the minds of the constellations. They were the heaviest but at the same time, loneliest beings in the universe. They were writers as well as those who watched the stories. Jang Hayoung would’ve listened to them as he did to me.
从他的犹豫不决来判断,我一定是对的。我对星座的思想有了一些了解。他们是宇宙中最重的但同时也是最孤独的生物。他们既是作家,也是观看故事的人。张海英会像听我的一样听他们的。
[The constellation ‘Nouveau Richer Snake Boss’ is looking at the cheeky incarnation!]
[“新富蛇头”星座正在观察这个厚脸皮的化身!]
Jang Hayoung looked up at the air at the same time. Thanks to Biyoo’s interference, the Nouveau Richer Snake Boss couldn’t find my location for a while. Of course, this didn’t last long.
与此同时,张海英抬头看着天空。由于碧柳的干扰,新贵蛇头有一段时间找不到我的位置。当然,这并没有持续多久。
Jang Hayoung asked in an uneasy voice. “…Is that bastard thinking of staying here?”
张海英不安地问道:“......那个混蛋想留在这里吗?”
“Perhaps.”
“也许吧。”
He had been embarrassed and was probably determined to ruin the channel. I thought for a moment before finally making a decision.
他感到很尴尬,可能决心要毁掉这个频道。在做出决定之前,我想了一会儿。
Jang Hayoung was right. Even if there was a wall, I had to write something on this wall. This was despite the fact that it might change what was originally written…
张海英是对的。即使有一面墙,我也必须在这面墙上写点什么。尽管它可能会改变最初的写作内容.....。
I didn’t want to be a person who only read.
我不想成为一个只读书的人。
“Jang Hayoung, can you contact this person?”
“张海英,你能联系到这个人吗?”
Once I thought about it, I had been acting as a reader the whole time. In order to see the ending that I wanted, I had to create a new story. In fact, I had already warped reality. I just didn’t know yet who would read it.
一旦我想到这一点,我就一直扮演着一个读者的角色。为了看到我想要的结局,我不得不创造一个新的故事。事实上,我已经扭曲了现实。我只是还不知道谁会读它。
“Who?”
“谁?”
I didn’t know if the constellations would comply with my suggestions. Now that I opened a channel… if that person helped, the Revolutionary scenario would end without any problems.
我不知道星座是否会遵从我的建议。现在我打开了一个渠道......如果那个人帮忙的话,革命的剧本会毫无问题地结束。
Then a message appeared in the air.
然后一条信息出现在空气中。
[The fifth Night has arrived.]
第五个夜晚来临了
Sinister flute sounds were heard. I looked around the industrial complex. In the raging fire, people were screaming. My expression hardened and I spoke towards the scattered Aileen and Mark.
可以听到凶险的笛声。我环顾了一下工业园区。在熊熊的大火中,人们尖叫着。我的表情僵硬了,我对着分散的爱玲和马克说话。
“Gather all the citizens.”
“召集所有市民。”
***
***
The duke was driven into a corner. It was obvious after the Fourth Night was over. The Factory’s operating power had been cut off by the kidnapped slaves. Thus, the duke couldn’t come out for the moment.
公爵被逼得走投无路。很明显,在第四夜结束之后。被绑架的奴隶切断了工厂的运转电源。因此,公爵暂时不能出来。
However, the duke led the nobles and emerged on this Night.
然而,公爵带领贵族们在这个夜晚出现了。
「 Kim Dokja thought: What is he intending? 」
“金东子想:他打算干什么?”
My mind was a bit complicated due to the variable of a new constellation intervening. In addition, the constellation I called hadn’t come yet.
我的思维有点复杂,因为一个新的星座在其间变化。另外,我叫的那个星座还没有来。
「 It’s fine. Let’s think positively. This might be an opportunity. 」
“没关系,让我们往积极的方面想,这可能是个机会”
Yes, I didn’t need to have a weak mind. I was now a constellation. I had done well so far and there wouldn’t be a problem.
是的,我不需要有一个软弱的头脑。我现在是一个星座。到目前为止我做得很好,不会有什么问题。
“Jang Hayoung! Take care of the executioners! Absolutely don’t get involved with the other nobles!”
“张海英!照顾刽子手!绝对不要和其他贵族扯上关系!”
“I know!”
“我知道!”
I ran through the streets using Way of the Wind and reached the place where the biggest fire was burning. How long had I been running? I soon saw a demon standing on the spire of a broken building.
我沿着风之路跑过街道,来到了一个大火烧得最旺的地方。我跑了多久了?我很快看到一个恶魔站在一座破败的建筑物的尖顶上。
“Are you the revolutionary?”
“你是革命者吗?”
It was a long-haired demon engulfed in red flames. My face was tingling from the heat that emerged from his whole body. It was a stinging heat wave. I looked at the yellow flames and knew what this power was. There was only one person who used this type of story in the 73rd Demon Realm.
那是一个被红色火焰吞噬的长发恶魔。我的脸因为他全身发出的热量而感到刺痛。那是一股刺骨的热浪。我看着黄色的火焰,知道这种力量是什么。在第73魔界,只有一个人使用过这种类型的故事。
“Marquis Omboros.”
“奥伯罗斯侯爵。”
He was the most powerful noble in the 73rd Demon Realm after the dukes. He was someone I would’ve hesitated to bump into before I became a constellation. However, Omboros’ expression was weird.
他是继公爵之后第73魔界最强大的贵族。在我变成一个星座之前,我会犹豫是否偶遇他。然而,Omboros的表情很奇怪。
“I am Ombros, not Omboros.”
“我是Ombros,不是Omboros。”
Ah, I got his name wrong. I might be Kim Dokja but even I couldn’t memorize the name of extras. Omboros kept muttering like his pride was hurt. “You aren’t fleeing despite knowing me. I thought you were someone with good knowledge but you’re just someone with good luck.”
啊,我把他的名字弄错了。我可能是KimDokja,但即使是我也记不住临时演员的名字。欧伯罗斯一直嘟囔着,好像他的自尊心受到了伤害。“尽管你认识我,但你并没有逃跑。我以为你是一个知识渊博的人,但你只是一个运气好的人。”
“You would be the lucky one if I ran away. Omboros.”
“如果我离家出走,你才是幸运的那个。”
“I told you it is Ombros!”
“我告诉过你是欧姆布罗斯!”
Instead of answering, I raised the magic power in my body. Last time, I had fought using the status of a constellation. This time, the opponent was great and it wouldn’t work against Omboros. Thus, this was an all-out battle.
我没有回答,而是举起了我身体里的魔力。上一次,我使用了星座的状态。这一次,对手是伟大的,它不会对Omboros工作。因此,这是一场全面的战斗。
[The 5th bookmark, Kyrgios Rodgraim is selected!]
[第5个书签,KyrgiosRodgraim被选中!]
[The exclusive skill ‘Miniaturization Lv. 3’ is activated!] [The exclusive skill ‘Electrification’ Lv. 11 (+1) has been activated.]
独家技能“微型化Lv.3”被激活了![独家技能“电气化”Lv.11(+1)被激活了]
A yellow heat wave burst out from Omboros’ fist. It was the emergence of Brilliant Explosion, a skill of his story. He had the most impressive explosion stigma in the 73rd Demon Realm. The power was strong but it wasn’t difficult to avoid. The explosion range was large so it was considered a long-range attack.
一股黄色的热浪从Omboros的拳头里冲了出来。这是辉煌爆炸的出现,这是他故事的一个技巧。在第73魔界,他有着最令人印象深刻的爆炸痕迹。这种力量是强大的,但不难避免。爆炸范围很大,所以被认为是远程攻击。
“You rat…!”
“你这只老鼠......!”
[The constellation ‘Nail-Eating Rat’ hates the words of Demon Ombros.]
[星座“啃指甲的老鼠”讨厌魔鬼兄弟的话]
Omboros felt it was difficult to deal with the smaller me with a simple explosion and he changed his operation. The heat from his hands rapidly contracted and changed into a small ball.
奥博罗斯觉得用一个简单的爆炸来对付这个小个子的我是很困难的,于是他改变了他的行动。他手上的热量迅速收缩,变成了一个小球。
“Die!”
“去死吧!”
The condensed heat was more intense around his hands. He thought he would push me in strength after reducing the range…
他的手周围凝结的热量更加强烈。他以为在减小射程之后就可以给我力量。
It was a good plan but he met the wrong opponent. I wasn’t an ordinary incarnation. I watched the fierce incoming explosion and stretched out my fist without hesitation. The centre of the explosion was deeply pierced by the blow containing my magic power.
这是一个好计划,但他遇到了错误的对手。我不是一个普通的化身。我看着即将到来的猛烈爆炸,毫不犹豫地伸出了拳头。爆炸的中心被我的魔力深深地击穿了。
My ears momentarily buzzed and the fragments caught in the explosion scattered in the air. The flames in the area were swept away and went out. Only a blue-white lightning was scattered everywhere. I heard a sound and my vision blinked white.
我的耳朵突然嗡嗡作响,爆炸中的碎片散落在空中。那个地区的火焰被冲走并熄灭了。只有一道蓝白色的闪电散布在各处。我听到一个声音,我的视线闪烁着白光。
[The constellation ‘Nouveau Richer Snake Boss’ is astonished at your strength.]
[“新贵蛇头”星座对你的力量感到惊讶。]
Omboros couldn’t be seen in the place that the blue-white lightning swept through. Maybe he flew away or he might’ve died.
在蓝白色闪电掠过的地方看不见环博罗。也许他飞走了,也许他已经死了。
“Oh my god…”
“哦,我的上帝......”
The industrial complex was brutally destroyed. Some of the citizens confirmed my strength and were kneeling. At this point, I didn’t know how I was in a fight. If I returned to the scenario properly, could I win one on one with a few constellations?
工业联合企业被残酷地摧毁了。一些市民证实了我的力量,跪了下来。在这一点上,我不知道我是如何在一场战斗。如果我回到正确的方案,我可以赢得一对一与几个星座?
[Your incarnation body can’t handle the level of force used.] [A significant portion of your incarnation body has been damaged!] …Damn, it was starting again. Still, it was fine. It would be over before my body was in tatters.
[你的化身身体不能承受所使用的力量。][你的化身身体的很大一部分已经被损坏了!]该死,又开始了。不过,一切都很好。在我的身体变得支离破碎之前,一切都会结束。
“Waaaaahhhhh!”
“哇啊啊啊!”
Were they inspired by this situation? The citizens in the surrounding area started shouting.
他们受到这种情况的鼓舞了吗?周围地区的市民开始大喊大叫。
“Revolutionary! Revolutionary!”
“革命!革命!”
[New constellations have entered the #BI-90594 channel.]
[新星座已进入#bi-90594频道]
The number of constellations kept increasing. It was a different feeling from Bihyung’s channel. Well, maybe because I thought of this as ‘my channel.’ I went to the forefront of the battlefield and cut at the approaching nobles.
