The pistons of the cylinders installed on the Factory moved wildly while the grinder roared. The story fragments that weren’t digested popped out from the surface like screws. It was evidence that this Factory wasn’t a finished product.
安装在工厂上的气缸活塞疯狂地移动着，而研磨机轰鸣着。那些没有被消化的故事片段就像螺丝一样从表面冒了出来。这证明了这个工厂不是一个成品。
The duke slightly frowned as he saw the unstable exterior of the smoking Factory. ‘It isn’t at a bad level yet.’
公爵看到吸烟工厂摇摇欲坠的外表，微微皱起了眉头。“目前还不算糟糕。”
The Factory. Everyone in the Demon World had a similar story, even if they were a grand duke. Of course, the power of each Factory varied but Syswitz’ Factory was unique.
工厂。恶魔世界里的每个人都有类似的故事，即使他们是大公爵。当然，每个工厂的动力是不同的，但是Syswitz工厂是独一无二的。
‘It was worthwhile going to the Underworld.’
去冥界是值得的
A body height of 40 metres. The Factory that resembled a giant was based off the Giant Soldier of the Underworld. It was a weapon that he barely managed to get a look at by bribing one of the judges of the Underworld. Of course, the duke’s Factory was only a clone with an inferior output compared to the giant soldier.
身高40米身高40米。这个看起来像巨人的工厂是以地下世界的巨人战士为原型的。这是一件武器，他贿赂了黑社会的一个法官，才勉强得以看到它。当然，公爵的工厂只是一个克隆产量低于巨大的士兵。
‘I can’t be satisfied with this degree…’
“我对这个学位不满意......”
The Factory let out a harsh sound as if to express the duke’s disappointment. The blades of the grinder struck the ground. Dust filled the area as dozens of civilian buildings collapsed. Just like a child breaking a hand-crafted toy, the duke relentlessly broke them.
工厂发出刺耳的声音，好像是在表达公爵的失望。研磨机的叶片碰到了地面。随着数十座民用建筑的倒塌，这个地区尘土飞扬。就像孩子打破手工制作的玩具一样，公爵无情地打破了它们。
[Very few constellations are delighted at the exciting destruction!]
(很少有星座对这种令人兴奋的破坏感到高兴!)
[Some constellations are pointing to the fleeing citizens!]
(一些星座指向逃跑的市民!)
It was a long story. The history of the Syswitz Industrial Complex had accumulated over countless years. Even so, there was no hesitation in the duke’s behaviour.
说来话长。塞维兹工业联合体的历史已经积累了无数年。即便如此，公爵的行为也毫不犹豫。
“Kuaaack!”
“哇!”
The duke picked up the stories that were blown out of the grinder and thought. ‘It is an offering to proceed with a bigger story.’ 400 years. A time when a dynasty was born and collapsed. During that time, Syswitz was the dictator here.
公爵拾起从研磨机里吹出来的故事，想了想。他说，这是一个让故事更宏大的提议400年。一个王朝诞生和崩溃的时代。在那段时间里，西斯维兹是这里的独裁者。
He once loved everything in this industrial complex. He was sometimes a wise ruler and sometimes a tyrant. He tried to elevate the happiness of the citizens through a gentle reign and he slaughtered them through oppression and tyranny. He was happy, sad or sometimes interested.
他曾经热爱这个工业园区的一切。他有时是一个英明的统治者，有时是一个暴君。他试图通过温和的统治来提高公民的幸福感，但他通过压迫和暴政屠杀了他们。他有时高兴，有时悲伤，有时感兴趣。
Then one day, the duke had only one emotion left. ‘I’m tired.’
后来有一天，公爵只剩下一种情绪:“我累了。”
After going on a field trip to Olympus and the Underworld, his thoughts became even stronger.
在去奥林匹斯山和冥界实地考察之后，他的思想变得更加强大。
‘Why should I be eating these stories?’
“我为什么要听这些故事?”
He never forgot the lavish dinner that was served at the dining table of the queen of the Underworld.
他永远不会忘记地狱女王餐桌上的盛宴。
A sword master of another world, a great sage, a 9th circle great magician…
一个来自另一个世界的剑师，一个伟大的圣人，一个第九圈的伟大魔法师..。
Syswitz ate the finely cooked story pieces and was truly amazed. Oh my god, this taste. He had a soulless expression as he enjoyed the tastes that burst in his mouth.
塞斯维茨吃了精心煮熟的故事片，并真正吃惊。天啊，这味道。他有一种没有灵魂的表情，因为他喜欢在他的嘴里爆炸的味道。
-I see that you’re pretty good at eating.
我发现你很会吃东西。
Syswitz came to his senses and noticed that Persephone never touched the food in front of her. Persephone stared at the stories that were ravenously scattered on his plate like they were terrible food. Syswitz couldn’t forget the disgrace he felt at that moment.
塞斯维茨恢复了理智，注意到珀尔塞福涅从未碰过她面前的食物。珀尔塞福涅盯着那些散落在他盘子里的贪婪的故事，好像它们是可怕的食物。西斯维茨无法忘记那一刻他感到的耻辱。
‘I will go to the next scenario.’
“我会进入下一个场景。”
Bigger stories. Bigger stimuli. Then he would gain a bigger power.
更大的故事，更大的刺激，然后他就会获得更大的权力。
‘I will become a demon king. I will live by eating huge stories that are far superior to those fucking guys.’
”“我将成为一个魔王。我要靠吃那些比那些该死的家伙好得多的大新闻为生。”
For that dream, it meant nothing to discard this trivial industrial complex.
对于这个梦想来说，抛弃这个琐碎的工业联合体毫无意义。
[…What revolution?]
什么革命
His voice trembled and the whole industrial complex shook.
他的声音颤抖着，整个工业联合体都在震动。
[Look, there is no such thing as a revolution! It is just the roleplay of the scenario!]
[看，根本没有革命这回事!这只是剧情的角色扮演!]
It was a tone that mocked all citizens.
这是一种嘲弄所有公民的语气。
[A play that has been repeated over and over for 400 years. You are fighting for such a foolish thing!]
这出戏已经演了400年了，你们在为这样一个愚蠢的事情而战
Syswitz shouted despite also being part of the scenario. He felt like he could move onto the next stage.
赛斯维兹大声喊道，尽管他也是这个场景的一部分，他觉得他可以进入下一个阶段。
‘I can do it.’
我能做到
It seemed successful to some extent. Duke Syswitz felt a sense of liberation as numerous constellation focused their gazes on him. A peripheral pleasure obtained from denying oneself. Syswitz felt like he was the centre of the whole world for the first time. By the way… “Do you really think so?” Someone cried out.
在某种程度上，它似乎是成功的。当众多的星座把他们的目光聚焦在他身上时，塞斯维茨公爵感到一种解放的感觉。自我否定从自我否定中获得的边缘快乐。西斯维兹第一次觉得自己是整个世界的中心。顺便问一句...“你真的这么认为吗?”有人喊道。
***
***
Of course, it was me.
当然是我。
「 You… 」
“你...”
…Damn. The problem was that I heard his inner thoughts too well.
...该死。问题是我听到他的内心想法太好了。
[The character ‘Demon Duke Syswitz’ is overwhelmed by his delusions.] [The exclusive skill, ‘Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint’ stage 2 has been strongly activated!]
[恶魔公爵塞斯维茨公爵这个角色被自己的错觉搞得不知所措][独家技能“无所不知的读者视角”第二阶段已被强烈激活!]
The thoughts of the duke randomly poured in. It was like looking at his naked self. To a certain extent, even those who didn’t use Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint could feel it.
公爵的思想乱七八糟地涌了进来。这就像是在看他赤裸的自己。在某种程度上，即使是那些没有使用全知读者视角的人也能感觉到。
[The constellation Nail-Eating Rat’s hands and feel are curling up from the duke’s words and deeds.] [The constellation ‘Nouveau Richer Snake Boss’ says he is okay because he doesn’t have hands or feet.]
[吃指甲的老鼠的手和感觉正从公爵的言行中蜷缩起来][星座“新贵蛇头”说他没事，因为他没有手和脚。]
These guys were even laughing. The duke didn’t know the situation and smiled at me. [Fake revolutionary.]
这些人甚至在笑。公爵不知道情况，朝我笑了笑。(假革命。)
“Who is fake?”
“谁是假的?”
I activated Bookmark and Way of the Wind before running forward. A giant blow narrowly passed by me. A crater occurred in the place where the grinder passed like a bomb had gone off.
在向前跑之前，我激活了书签和风之路。一个巨大的打击从我身边擦身而过。研磨机经过的地方发生了一个弹坑，就像炸弹爆炸一样。
…This level was enough to hit an upper-grade constellation? It was a power that I couldn’t endure in this damn incarnation body. This was the power of a story weapon. It made non-constellations a match for constellations.
这个等级足以击中一个高级星座？这是一种我无法在这该死的化身身体中忍受的力量。这就是故事武器的力量。它使非星座成为星座的对手。
Furthermore, Duke Syswitz might not be a constellation but he was d demon had history-grade stories comparable to upper-grade constellations.
此外，塞斯维茨公爵也许不是一个星座，但他是一个魔鬼，他的历史级故事可以与高级星座相媲美。
The bombs from the grinder swept through the industrial complex. Citizens ran out crying as they lost their homes. They were people who lost their hometowns and came to the Demon World, struggling to make a life here. The citizens who lost their jobs were staring at me with soot-covered faces.
粉碎机里的炸弹横扫整个工业园区。市民们哭着跑了出来，因为他们失去了家园。他们失去了家乡，来到恶魔世界，努力在这里生活。失业的市民们满脸烟尘地盯着我。
I looked at the citizens and had a thought. I also disliked the scenarios. But… dammit.
我看着市民们，有了一个想法。我也不喜欢这样的场景。但是......该死的。
「 Kim Dokja thought: I hate to admit it. 」
“金道佳心想:我讨厌承认这一点”
I seemed to understand why this scenario existed. I split through the air using Way of the Wind. I instantly arrived at the head of the Factory and once again used Electrification.
我似乎明白为什么会出现这种情况。我用《风之路》在空中划过。我立即到达了工厂的领导，并再次使用电气化。
[The durability of your incarnation body is at a dangerous level!]
[你化身身体的耐久性处于一个危险的水平!]
I fainted earlier and used up the duration of Bookmark in vain. I only had 20 minutes left. A blue-white whirl of lightning emerged from my right hand and rushed towards the Factory. The exterior of the Factory shook slightly.
我刚才昏过去了，白白地用完了书签的时间。我只剩下20分钟了。一道蓝白色的旋转闪电从我的右手中出现，冲向工厂。工厂的外部有些摇晃。
[Kuek…?]
Kuek...
As expected, I lacked hitting power. My current incarnation body could only exert a quarter of the original firepower.
不出所料，我缺乏命中力，现在化身的身体只能发挥原来火力的四分之一。
[Better than expected…]
[好于预期......]
Moreover, the sustainability wasn’t long. Nevertheless, I had to fight. I had to defeat this guy with my own hands.
而且，这种可持续性并不长，尽管如此，我还是不得不战斗，我不得不用自己的双手打败这个家伙。
[The constellation ‘status’ is released.]
[星座‘状态’被释放。]
[Your incarnation body is several damaged and only a fraction of the energy is released.]
[你的化身身体受到几次损伤，只有一小部分能量被释放出来。]
It was a short time but for a moment, the Factory temporarily stopped working. I didn’t miss this gap and focused magic power on both fists.
这是一个短暂的时间，但一时间，工厂暂时停止工作。我没有错过这个机会，而是集中了双拳的魔力。
[This aura? You, don’t tell me…!] [The Gold Dragon’s Broken Heart is activated!]
[这个光环?你，不要告诉我...!][金龙的破碎的心被激活了!]
Whenever the amount of magic power sharply decreased, the gold dragon’s heart recharged my magic power. In the ensuing battle, the Factory’s hard shell started to be peeled off. Screws popped out and story pieces flowed from the gap.
每当魔法的数量急剧减少，金龙的心就会重新补充我的魔法。在随后的战斗中，工厂的坚硬外壳开始剥落。螺丝弹了出来，故事片从缝隙里流出来。
「 Kim Dokja thought: It would’ve been a good fight if my body was fine. 」 [The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ is watching you anxiously.]
“金多克贾认为:如果我的身体没事，这场战斗就会打得很好。”[《金发囚徒》这个星座正焦急地注视着你。]
I stood firmly and hit the upper part of the Factory with a fist containing all the power of Electrification. If I knew that I would have such a hard fight, I would’ve learnt more diligently from Kyrgios. Well, I guess I didn’t have talent.
我坚定地站在那里，用一只拳头击打工厂的上部，掌握了电气化的所有力量。如果我知道我会有如此艰苦的战斗，我会从Kyrgios那里学到更多的东西。好吧，我想我没有天赋。
[The durability of your incarnation body is reaching its limit.] [If you don’t stop combat immediately, the collapse of your body will resume.]
[你的化身身体的耐久性已经达到极限。][如果你不立即停止战斗，你的身体将继续崩溃。]
My breathing was becoming worse and my fists were slowing down. The Factory was still in good condition.
我的呼吸越来越困难，拳头也越来越慢，工厂的状况还是很好。
The duke spoke with delight. [Thanks to you, the last scenario of the industrial complex will be very sweet.]
公爵高兴地说。(多亏了你，工业联合体的最后一幕将会非常甜蜜。)
I knew I couldn’t win. First of all, I wasn’t fighting for the sake of winning.
我知道我赢不了，首先，我不是为了赢而战。
「 Kim Dokja looked down at the citizens of the industrial complex. 」
“金多克贾低头看着工业园区的市民。”
People were watching me. Some people’s mouths were wide open while others had their two hands joined together. I could also see Aileen and Mark. Each person was different but they all had similar expressions.
人们都在看着我。一些人的嘴巴张得很大，而另一些人则把两只手合在一起。我还能看见爱玲和马克。每个人都是不同的，但他们都有相似的表情。
「 Revolutionary and fighting. 」
“革命与战斗”
It was enough to think this.
这样想就足够了。
「 There is a revolution. 」
“革命正在发生”
It didn’t matter if it was real or fake. It had once been written that the things people believed in had power. Just like a story became reality.
不管是真的还是假的。人们曾经写道，人们相信的东西有力量。就像一个故事变成了现实。
[Your influence on the story will become more pronounced.]
你对这个故事的影响将会更加明显
The next moment, the Factory’s huge arm took my attack. My body was thrown back by the shock wave.
紧接着，工厂巨大的手臂挡住了我的攻击，我的身体被冲击波抛了回来。
[Your fighting ability is good but you can’t win. You are fake.]
你的战斗能力很好，但是你赢不了，你是假的
I raised my body from the broken floor. “As you said, I’m not a revolutionary. However, there is a revolution.”
我把自己的身体从破碎的地板上抬起来，“就像你说的，我不是一个革命者，但是，有一场革命。”
[Such a thing doesn’t exist.]
这样的事情是不存在的
“Why do you think that? Is it because you were a ‘revolutionary’ at first?”
“你为什么这么想?是因为你起初是一个‘革命者’吗?”
[…!]
[...!]
“In the end, even if a revolution occurs, the endless cycle of governance will repeat?”
“最终，即使发生革命，治理的无休止循环也会重复吗?”
I could understand Duke Syswitz’ feelings. I was well aware of the tragedy of the ‘Revolutionary Scenario.’ What made a revolutionary a revolutionary?
我能理解西斯维兹公爵的感受。我非常清楚“革命场景”的悲剧是什么使革命者成为革命者？
“It is you who failed, not everyone else.”
“失败的是你，而不是其他人。”
There were terrible scenarios. There were tragic scenarios. However—
有可怕的场景，有悲惨的场景，但是ーー
“There are no meaningless scenarios.”
“没有毫无意义的场景。”
No matter how rubbish a scenario, people ended up living that scenario. They were happy or sad. They struggled against the impossible. Someone died while someone else saved another person.
不管这种情况有多糟糕，人们最终还是会生活在这种情况下。他们是快乐的还是悲伤的。他们与不可能的事作斗争。有人死了，而有人救了另一个人。
This was the scenario of Ways of Survival that I knew. That’s why I was able to keep reading Ways of Survival.
这就是我所知道的《生存之道》中的情节。这就是为什么我能够继续阅读《生存之道》的原因。
My body became harder and harder to move. If I had followed the original novel, I wouldn’t have suffered like this.
我的身体变得越来越难以移动。如果我遵循原著，我就不会遭受这样的痛苦。
「 Yoo Jonghyuk had a thought. If he doesn’t know who the revolutionary is, he can kill them all until the revolutionary emerges. 」
「柳永玉有所思。如果他不知道革命者是谁，他可以把他们全杀了，直到革命胜利。」
In the end, the Yoo Jonghyuk of the 111th regression made the worse choice. However, I didn’t want to do this. That’s why I kept fighting.
最终，111回归的俞钟玉做出了更糟糕的选择。然而，我并不想这么做。这就是为什么我一直在战斗。
The duke once again struck and in the end, my back was grazed. Towards the me without strength, the giant hands of the Factory came again and again.
公爵又一次打我，最后，我的背部擦伤了。工厂的巨手一次又一次无力地向我走来。
[Your story is quite tempting. I’m going to eat you.]
你的故事很吸引人，我要吃了你
He was a person who had gone to the Underworld and tasted excellent stories. It was natural for him to be thrilled when looking at me. As soon as the giant hand was about to grab me, someone rushed towards me with all their power and rolled holding me.
他是一个曾经去过地下世界并品尝过精彩故事的人。当他看着我的时候很自然的感到兴奋。就在那只巨大的手快要抓住我的时候，有人用他们所有的力量冲向我，把我推了过去。
A familiar woman stood in the place where dust rose. “What are you doing?”
一个熟悉的女人站在尘土飞扬的地方，“你在干什么?”
The chairman of the Civil Council, Aileen. I stood up on the wall with a frown. “Get out of the way.”
公民委员会主席艾琳。我皱着眉头站在墙上。“让开。”
“You’ve done enough.” Aileen didn’t move. I saw her determined expression and a corner of my heart froze. Wait a minute, surely the revolutionary…
“你做的够多了。”爱玲一动不动。我看到她坚定的表情，我的心一角凝固了。等一下，这位革命者..。
[Hahaha! Where are you hiding? Self-proclaimed revolutionary!]
[哈哈哈!你躲在哪里?自称的革命者!]
Aileen turned back after hearing the duke’s voice. I realized what she was going to do and hurriedly chased her. Just as she stood in front of the duke, someone shouted, “The revolutionary is here!”
