In this round, that guy doesn’t exist…
在这一轮中，那个家伙不存在..。
As soon as I read this sentence, an electric current flowed from my head to my toes.
当我读到这句话时，一股电流从我的头顶流向我的脚趾。
…Perhaps, no, it couldn’t be. Of course not. There were many people who could be called ‘that guy’ by Yoo Jonghyuk. In the previous regressions, there were a few ‘guys’ that Yoo Jonghyuk met…
也许，不，不可能。当然不是。有很多人可以被YooJonghyuk称为‘那个家伙’。在之前的回归中，有几个人是柳永玉遇到的.....。
Then I remembered Yoo Jonghyuk’s thoughts that often appeared and my mind became complicated.
然后我想起了柳钟玉的思想，这些思想经常出现在我的脑海中，使我的思想变得复杂。
「 Yoo Jonghyuk had a thought. 」
“柳永玉有一个想法。”
「 ‘Don’t think it will improve by repeating the regressions.’ 」 「’There is only my birthday in this life.’ 」 「 ‘I don’t know if I can do it. Still, I won’t give up.’ 」
「认为重复回归不会改善」“一生只有一次生日”“我不知道我能不能做到”。不过，我不会放弃
Shit, by all appearances, these were my words. I quickly scrolled through the pages towards other scenes. The words ‘that guy’ often appeared. He never wrote the name ‘Kim Dokja but it was clearly me.
妈的，从表面上看，这是我的原话。我迅速浏览了书页，找到了其他的场景。那家伙这个词经常出现。他从来没有写过‘KimDokja’这个名字，但很明显是我写的。
Of course, I couldn’t be sure 100% because I didn’t remember everything I said. Even so, I couldn’t imagine anyone else saying these words to Yoo Jonghyuk. If someone else had spoken such cheeky things, Yoo Jonghyuk would’ve cut off their heads.
当然，我不能100%肯定，因为我不记得我说的每一句话。即便如此，我也无法想象还有谁会对柳钟玉说这样的话。如果别人说了这样厚颜无耻的话，柳永玉会砍掉他们的头。
“…I’m having a psychotic break.”
“...我精神崩溃了。”
[The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ is wondering about your words.]
[《金发囚徒》这个星座对你的话感到好奇。]
I ignored the message from the Great Sage the Equal of Heaven and slowly took a deep breath. I needed to organize my thoughts. There was still time. Unexpectedly, the Fourth Wall helped me.
我忽略了大圣天平的旨意，慢慢地深吸了一口气。我需要整理我的思绪。还有时间。出乎意料的是，第四堵墙帮了我。
「 Kim Dokja thought: In short, this is the current situation. 」
“金东子认为:简而言之，这就是当前的形势。”
Yes, tell me.
是的，告诉我。
「 One, the first revision of Ways of Survival had arrived. 」 「 Two, the revision started from Yoo Jonghyuk’s fourth regression. 」 「 Three, a person presumed to be ‘Kim Dokja’ appeared in the recollections of the fourth regression Yoo Jonghyuk. 」
「一、《生存之道》第一次修订版已经到达」「二」修订工作由柳荣玉的四次回归开始「三、假定为金道嘉的人出现在第四次回归的回忆录中」
It was a very straightforward organization. These three facts were proof of only one thing.
这是一个非常简单的组织，这三个事实只能证明一件事。
「 Yoo Jonghyuk failed the third regression. 」
“柳钟玉第三次回归失败”
I couldn’t think of anything else, no matter how I looked at it. If Yoo Jonghyuk and I reached the end of this world, he wouldn’t have moved onto the fourth regression.
不管我怎么看，我都想不出别的。如果YooJonghyuk和我走到了世界的尽头，他就不会进入第四次回归了。
This was the most logical reasoning. The third round that I intervened in was a failure. The time after the failure was newly recorded in the revision of Ways of Survival.
这是最有逻辑推理的一次。我参与的第三轮谈判失败了。失败后的时间在《生存之道》修订本中有新的记载。
I wondered how it was possible but this was a world where many impossible things had already happened. I let out a brief sigh and searched Ways of Survival again.
我想知道这怎么可能，但这是一个已经发生了许多不可能的事情的世界。我发出一声简短的叹息，又开始寻找生存之道。
One question was resolved but many more opened. Through the Fourth Wall, I tried to sort out the questions that came up one by one.
一个问题解决了，但还有更多的问题没有解决。穿过第四道墙，我试着把出现的问题一个一个地整理出来。
「 Why don’t I exist in the fourth round of Yoo Jonghyuk? 」
“为什么我不能参加柳永的第四轮比赛?”
No matter how I thought about it, I couldn’t get an answer. It might be because I wasn’t a character or it might be due to other problems. In any case, it was obvious that ‘I’ no longer existed from the fourth regression onwards. There was a second problem I had to focus on.
不管我怎么想，我都得不到答案。可能是因为我不是一个角色，也可能是因为其他问题。无论如何，很明显，从第四次回归开始，“我”就不再存在了。还有第二个问题我必须关注。
「 If the first revision is a depiction of future events, could there be a second revision depending on my actions? 」
「如果第一次修订是对未来事件的描述，会否因应我的行动而作第二次修订?」
Nothing was certain. Maybe this first revision couldn’t be ruled out as a ‘definite future.’ Still, I was certain that it wasn’t a high probability. If this was a ‘definite future’, the author wouldn’t have sent it to me.
没有什么是确定的。也许这个第一次修订版不能被排除在“确定的未来”之外尽管如此，我还是确信这种可能性并不高。如果这是一个“确定的未来”，作者就不会把它寄给我。
I didn’t know why but the author was giving me an opportunity through this ‘revision.’ If I kept going along this path, the third regression would end in failure. Then in the fourth regression, Yoo Jonghyuk would repeat things alone.
我不知道为什么，但作者通过这次“修订”给了我一个机会如果我继续沿着这条路走下去，第三次回归将以失败告终。然后在第四次回归中，柳永玉会独自重复这些事情。
The author was sending a warning. Of course, the author might have a terrible stench but… in any case, I decided not to consider it because there was no answer.
作者正在发出警告。当然，作者可能有一股可怕的臭味，但是......无论如何，我决定不考虑它，因为没有答案。
“The first step is to read all of this again… my head will hurt.”
“第一步是把这些再读一遍......我的头会痛。”
I pressed a hand against my temple and kept reading Ways of Survival. Some places were the same while some were changed. Anyway, I felt numerous emotions as I read the story.
我把一只手按在我的太阳穴上，继续读着《生存之道》。有些地方还是老样子，有些地方已经变了。不管怎样，当我读到这个故事的时候，我感受到了无数的情感。
‘That jerk Yoo Jonghyuk, he is still like this despite everything I told him.”
‘那个混蛋柳钟玉，尽管我告诉他一切，他还是这个样子。”
I was thinking about it.
我正在考虑这件事。
‘Eh? Look at this. Hasn’t it changed a bit?”
“嗯?看看这个，难道没有一点变化吗?”
I thought about it. Also…
我考虑过了还有..。
‘Yes, this part was very interesting. I liked this part.’ ‘Fuck, there is too much explanation…’ ‘…No, the sentences seem a bit better? Did the author grow?’
”“是的，这部分很有趣。我喜欢这部分。”‘妈的，解释太多了......’‘不，句子看起来好一点？作者成长了吗
Stuck in these thoughts, I returned to the reader’s identity and fell into Ways of Survival again. He was still a sunfish but the interesting thing was that my intervention reduced Yoo Jonghyuk’s minor mistakes. The most notable part was that he caught the ‘ichthyosaur’ like me at the beginning of the fourth round.
陷在这些思想中，我回到了读者的身份，再次陷入了生存之道。他仍然是一条翻车鱼，但有趣的是，我的介入减少了YooJonghyuk的小错误。最值得注意的是他在第四回合开始的时候抓住了像我一样的鱼龙。
「 Yoo Jonghyuk thought, ‘That guy got a hidden scenario here.’ 」
“柳永玉认为，‘这家伙在这里得到了一个隐藏的场景。”’
He also didn’t die from the Theatre Dungeon in the 8th and 11th regressions.
在第8和第11次回归中，他也没有死于剧院地牢。
「 “…I lived because of that guy. Well, I still would’ve somehow survived.’ 」
“......我能活下来就是因为那个家伙，不管怎样，我还是能活下来。”
I was almost moved to tears when I read this part. If I had a place to show off then I would’ve boasted.
当我读到这一部分时，我几乎感动得流下了眼泪。如果我有地方炫耀的话，我就会吹嘘了。
‘Everyone, take a look. That damn sunfish has grown.’
大家快来看这该死的翻车鱼长大了
Of course, I was the only reader of Ways of Survival so there was nowhere to boast. My quick scrolling suddenly stopped as I thought of a question. Wait a minute, this guy was doing better than I thought? Then what happened next? Yoo Jonghyuk who was affected by me… would he reach the ‘proper’ ending of this world?
当然，我是《生存之道》的唯一读者，所以没有什么值得夸耀的。当我想到一个问题时，我的快速滚动页面突然停止了。等一下，这家伙比我想象的要好？接下来发生了什么？受我影响的柳永玉...他会达到这个世界的适当的结局吗？
“What are you doing? I heard from Aileen that you are dying.”
“你在干什么?我听爱玲说你快死了。”
“Kim… Jonghyuk-ssi. Is your body okay?”
“金......钟玉西，你的身体还好吗?”
The door opened and Jang Hayoung and Han Myungoh entered. I had forgotten that I told Aileen to call the two of them.
门开了，张海英和韩明戈走了进来。我忘了是我让爱玲给他们俩打电话的。
“Eh, is that a smartphone?” Jang Hayoung saw the device I was holding and ran over in a flash.
“哎，那是智能手机吗?”张海英(音译)看到我拿着的手机，一瞬间跑了过去。
I lightly changed the hand holding the phone and answered, “No, go away.”
我轻轻地换了一下拿着电话的手，回答道:“不，走开。”
“Can you receive messages? A call? The Internet?”
“你能接收信息吗?电话?互联网?”
“Do you have a jaw?”
“你有下巴吗?”
Jang Hayoung made a sullen expression at my cold reply. “Then why did you call us here?”
张海英听了我的冷淡回答，闷闷不乐地说:“那你为什么把我们叫到这里来?”
“Are you still keeping in contact with the constellations I told you about?”
“你还在和我告诉过你的星座保持联系吗?”
“Ahh, them?” Jang Hayoung shrugged and replied, “They aren’t interested.”
“啊，他们?”张哈扬耸耸肩回答说，“他们不感兴趣。”
“Really?”
“真的吗?”
The future scenarios would be difficult to overcome with my strength alone. Until now, the opponents were disasters that descended through the scenarios or individual constellations. Those who would disturb me in the future were bigger. For example, those damn Vedas guys who fucked me over with ‘fate.’
仅凭我的力量很难克服未来的情况。直到现在，反对者都是通过场景或单个星座降临的灾难。那些将来会打扰我的人更大。例如，那些该死的吠陀经的家伙，他们用“命运”把我玩弄于鼓掌之间
If I wanted to fight them, I needed to know the trends of the constellations and transcendents with similar ideas.
如果我想和他们战斗，我需要知道星座的趋势和类似想法的超验。
“Everybody seems busy doing their own thing. Most of them didn’t even answer.”
“每个人似乎都忙着做自己的事情，大多数人甚至都没有回答。”
…It was still too early. It was much later in the story that Jang Hayoung became the ‘King of Transcendents.’ Therefore, the constellations who were by Jang Hayoung’s side in the original novel might be different at this point in time. Moreover, the ‘original’ had already changed.
现在还为时过早。在很久以后的故事中，张海英成为了“超验之王”因此，原著中张海英身边的星座在这一时期可能会有所不同。此外，“原版”已经改变了。
I sighed and said, “It’s fine. You can go out.”
我叹了口气说:“没关系，你可以出去了。”
“…What? You were the one who called me.” Jang Hayoung grumbled and left the room, leaving only Han Myungoh behind.
“......什么?是你打电话给我的。”张海英嘟囔着离开了房间，只留下韩明戈。
Han Myungoh opened his mouth first. “You know, it is strange. I knew you from the days in the company but…”
韩明悟先张开了嘴。“你知道，这很奇怪。我在公司的时候就认识你了，但是......”
“That’s enough. Do you know why I called you.”
“够了，你知道我为什么打电话给你吗?”
“Ahem.” Han Myungoh seemed to know the reason. “…In fact, I can’t contact him.”
“咳咳。”韩明戈似乎知道原因。“......事实上，我联系不上他。”
“Isn’t your connection to the household restored?”
“你和家里的联系不是恢复了吗?”
“It recovered. However, there is no response from the demon king.”
“它恢复了，但是魔王没有回应。”
Not long ago, I broke Han Myungoh’s connection to Demon King Asmodeus using the Four Yin Demonic Beheading Sword. Still, it was only a temporary thing. I thought it was time for contact with Asmodeus to be re-established. Yet there wasn’t any contact from him yet.
不久前，我用四阴恶魔斩首剑断绝了韩孟国与恶魔王阿斯莫德斯的联系。不过，这只是暂时的。我认为是时候与阿斯莫德斯重新建立联系了。然而他还没有任何联系。
“Isn’t there anything he wants to ask?”
“难道他没有什么想问的吗?”
“Perhaps he no longer believes me. Or…” At this moment, Han Myungoh’s expression changed. “I-I am connected!”
“也许他不再相信我了。或者......”此时，韩明悟的表情变了。“我--我联系上了!”
I was nervous for a moment. Demon King Asmodeus. A powerful presence among the 72 demon kings would now speak to me through Han Myungoh’s eyes and mouth. By the way, Han Myungoh’s expression was a bit strange.
我紧张了一会儿。恶魔之王阿斯莫德斯。在72个恶魔国王中，一个强大的存在现在可以通过韩明悟的眼睛和嘴巴和我说话。顺便说一句，韩明国的表情有点奇怪。
“Huh?”
“啊?”
“What is it?”
“这是什么?”
“Something is wrong.”
“有点不对劲。”
“What happened?”
“发生了什么事?”
“H-He came directly!”
“他马上就来了!”
“Huh?”
“啊?”
“The demon king came directly!”
“魔王马上就来了!”
One side of my heart cooled. The demon king came directly. The meaning of these words was simple. Demon King Asmodeus directly visited the scenario area with his own body.
我的一边心凉了下来。魔王马上就来了。这些话的意思很简单。恶魔王阿斯莫德斯用他自己的身体直接访问了这个地方。
I asked while constantly receiving the channel messages from Biyoo. “Is he near here?”
我一边不断收到来自Biyoo的频道消息，一边问道，“他在附近吗?”
“I-I think he has already found you…”
”我想他已经找到你了...”
Already found me? No matter how much I raised my senses, I couldn’t feel the demon king at all. If the demon king really came near here, not only would the constellations of the channel be turned upside down, the enormous pressure should’ve caused a group of incarnations to bleed to death. By the way… “Wait, don’t tell me…?”
已经找到我了？无论我怎么提高我的感官，我都感觉不到魔王的存在。如果恶魔王真的来到这里，不仅通道的星座会被颠倒，巨大的压力会导致一群化身流血而死。顺便说一句...”等等，别告诉我...?”
If I thought about it, I did everything under the name of ‘Yoo Jonghyuk.’ The beings who didn’t enter the channel or know exactly what was going on were likely to guess my position through the Star Stream. According to the Star Stream, my current position was…
如果我仔细想想，我所做的一切都是以‘YooJonghyuk’的名义那些没有进入频道或者不知道正在发生什么的人很可能通过星流猜测我的位置。根据明星资讯，我目前的职位是..。
“Shit.”
“妈的。”
“W-Why all of a sudden?”
“为什么突然这么说?”
“Head Director Han, do you know the way to the Gilobat Industrial Complex?”
“韩院长，你知道去吉罗巴特工业园区的路吗?”
Yoo Jonghyuk was in danger.
柳永玉处于危险之中。
***
***
“Kim Dokja!”
“ Kim Dokja! ”
“Hooray Kim Dokja!”
“金道佳万岁!”
“The independence of the industrial complex!”
“工业联合体的独立性!”
Yoo Jonghyuk listened to the shouts coming from all over the Gilobat Industrial Complex and had a complicated expression.
柳钟玉听着来自吉罗巴特工业园区各处的喊声，表情复杂。
‘I didn’t mean to do this.’
“我不是故意的。”
Yoo Jonghyuk frowned as he stared at Duke Gilobat who died in his hands. Sparks were flying around Yoo Jonghyuk’s body due to the excessive opening of his transcendent power. He didn’t need to open it at this point.
柳永玉皱起眉头，盯着死在他手里的吉洛巴特公爵。由于柳钟玉超然力量的过度张开，他的身体周围飞舞着火花。这时候他不需要打开它。
‘It was too early to open the first stage of transcendence.’
“现在开启超越的第一阶段还为时过早。”
However, it was impossible to handle his work in the Demon World in a short amount of time without opening the power. It was a power that was deliberately hidden from the constellations but he was caught by one of them. Yoo Jonghyuk watched the Uriel doll sitting on his shoulder.
然而，如果不打开魔力，他在恶魔世界的工作是不可能在短时间内完成的。这是一种有意躲避星座的力量，但他却被其中一个星座抓住了。柳永玉看着坐在他肩上的乌列娃娃。
‘I don’t think this person has any ideas.’ [The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is satisfied with your achievement.] [The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is touched by your comradeship.] “…The duke gives a lot of coins. Thus I killed him.”
我不认为这个人有任何想法[星座‘魔鬼般的火之审判者’对你的成就很满意。][你们的同志情谊感动了‘魔鬼般的火焰审判者’这个星座。]“......公爵给了很多硬币。于是我杀了他。”
[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is laughing.]
[星座‘魔鬼般的火之审判者’在笑。]
Yoo Jonghyuk didn’t answer and looked at the panel screen in the duke’s office. There were low-quality scenes that seemed to be taped by the wenny people.
柳永玉没有回答，看着公爵办公室的屏幕。有些低质量的场景似乎是由温柔的人录制的。
-Yoo Jonghyuk!
-柳永玉！
-I am Yoo Jonghyuk!”
-我是柳永玉!”
It was an absurd scene. Hundreds of people shouted that they were ‘Yoo Jonghyuk.’ The most disturbing thing was the huge guy yelling it in the centre.
那是一个荒谬的场面。数以百计的人喊道，他们就是“YooJonghyuk”最令人不安的是那个大个子在中间大喊大叫。
-Yoo Jonghyuk! Yoo Jonghyuk! Wah!
-柳永玉!柳永玉!-哇！
Yoo Jonghyuk watched the scene with a frown before turning his head.
柳永玉皱着眉头看着这一幕，然后转过头去。
[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is turning red.] [The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is urging you to go and meet Kim Dokja.]
[类似魔鬼的火焰审判者星座变成了红色][星座‘魔鬼般的火之审判者’正在敦促你去见见金独子。]
Yoo Jonghyuk shook his head. “…I’ve confirmed that he is alive. Cancel your personal scenario and send me back to the original world.
