We soon arrived at the Yoo Jonghyuk Industrial Complex (formerly Syswitz).
我们很快就到了柳钟玉工业园区(原名锡斯维茨)。
Along the way, Yoo Jonghyuk spoke no words and acted similarly once arriving at the industrial complex. The moment the X-grade Ferrarigini turned off, Yoo Jonghyuk got off the car and told me, "From now on, I will act separately."
一路上,柳永玉没有说话,一到工业园区,他的行为就和以前一样。当x级的费拉里吉尼熄火的那一刻,柳永玉下了车,告诉我,“从现在开始,我将单独行动。”
"…Will you come for the selection?"
“你会来挑选吗?”
Yoo Jonghyuk briefly nodded before moving his feet and disappearing from view. He seemed to know where he was going and what he was going to do. The one certain thing was that everything in his vision would be broken.
柳永玉简短地点了点头,然后移动了脚步,消失在视野中。他似乎知道自己要去哪里,要做什么。有一件事是肯定的,那就是他眼中的一切都将被打破。
"…You aren't going to stop him?"
“你不打算阻止他吗?”
I nodded at Jang Hayoung's question. After all, I made a plan on the premise that Yoo Jonghyuk didn't listen to me. Yoo Jonghyuk just needed to live safely until the Demon King Selection.
我对张海英的问题点了点头。毕竟,我是在柳永玉不听我话的前提下制定计划的。柳永玉只需要安全的生活,直到魔王选择。
The important thing was what I needed to do now. I ignored the minor procedures and headed straight to Aileen's council room.
重要的是我现在需要做什么。我无视这些小手续,径直走向爱玲的会议室。
"It has been a while."
“已经有一段时间了。”
I hadn't met Aileen for some time and she looked haggard from the busy industrial complex.
我有一段时间没有见到爱玲了,她从繁忙的工业园区来看,面容憔悴。
Eileen pushed up her glasses and submitted a report. "Since the duke left, I have been struggling with the other industrial complexes… the party members handle it well."
艾琳举起眼镜递交了一份报告。“自从公爵离开后,我一直在与其它工业园区进行斗争......党员们处理得很好。”
"Party members?"
“党员?”
"Yoo Jonghyuk's party. You don't know it? Every morning, there are people walking around saying 'I am Yoo Jonghyuk.' It was founded just before you left… you must not have seen it."
“柳永玉的派对。你不知道?每天早上,都有人走来走去,说‘我是柳永玉’它是在你离开之前建立的......你肯定没见过。”
Was it them? Damn. I sometimes thought I could still hear the shouts from that day.
是他们吗?该死。有时候我觉得我还能听到那天的喊声。
Aileen shook her head and continued. "In recent days, a group of followers of the 'Punisher' was created."
艾琳摇摇头,继续说道:“最近几天,一群‘惩罚者’的追随者被创造出来了。”
"Was her identity revealed?"
“她的身份暴露了吗?”
"Not yet. She was suddenly gone soon after the duke left."
“还没有。公爵走后不久,她就突然走了。”
"Gone?"
“消失了?”
A strange feeling entered my heart. Perhaps? I had a thought but it wasn't possible. It was impossible for such a thing to come true, no matter how I thought about it.
一种奇怪的感觉进入了我的心。也许?我有一个想法,但这是不可能的。不管我怎么想,这样的事情是不可能实现的。
Aileen let out a small sigh. "I don't know why I keep reporting to you. The owner of this industrial complex is Yoo Jonghyuk."
爱玲轻轻地叹了口气。“我不知道为什么一直向你汇报。这个工业园区的所有者是YooJonghyuk。”
"It doesn't matter. In any case…"
“没关系,无论如何......”
"…The duke should now go to his industrial complex."
“......公爵现在应该去他的工业区了。”
This wasn't my industrial complex. Since I had returned to the Demon World, I had to go check the current status of the Kim Dokja Industrial Complex (formerly Gilobat). I left it to Mark but I didn't know what would've happened.
这不是我的工业情结。因为我已经回到了恶魔世界,我不得不去检查金多克加工业联合体(以前的吉洛巴特)的现状。我把它留给了马克,但我不知道会发生什么。
I stared at the landscape of the industrial complex through the window. Many things had happened since coming here. I got up from my seat and Irene rose with me.
我透过窗户凝视着工业园区的景色。自从来到这里以后,发生了许多事情。我从座位上站起来,艾琳也跟着站了起来。
"D-Duke-nim."
”杜克尼姆大叔”
I looked back and Aileen's expression was strange. It seemed cold, sad and disappointed. Even so, her voice was calm when she opened her mouth. I had studied Aileen in Ways of Survival and knew whenever she made this voice.
我回头一看,爱玲的表情很奇怪。它看起来冷冰冰的,悲伤的,失望的。尽管如此,当她张开嘴的时候,她的声音还是很平静。我研究过《生存之道》一书中的爱玲,知道每当她发出这种声音的时候。
Aileen rummaged for a moment and then held out a small box. "This is what you asked for before."
爱玲翻了一会儿,然后拿出一个小盒子。“这是你以前要的东西。”
The box contained a small watch. It was a small pocket watch designed with very fine circuits. I held it and felt a slight vibration from the watch. As I sensed the slow but surely moving time, many things passed through my mind.
盒子里装着一块小手表。这是一块设计精良的小怀表。我握着它,感到手表发出轻微的震动。当我感觉到时间在慢慢流逝的时候,许多事情在我的脑海中闪过。
The story horizon, the revolutionary game… All the memories that had gone retreated to an out of reach place were ticking away.
故事的地平线,革命的游戏......所有的记忆都消失在遥不可及的地方。
I stared at the watch for a while. I glanced at Aileen again and she was looking at me with both wrists overlapping each other.
我盯着手表看了一会儿。我又瞥了一眼爱玲,她看着我,两只手腕相互重叠。
I seemed to know what would happen from now on.
我似乎知道从现在开始会发生什么。
"Duke Yoo Jonghyuk."
柳永玉公爵
It was a motion that crossed both wrists. This was a greeting from the home planet where Aileen lived, Lindberg. Crossing two veins and conveying the vibrations to the other side. As if the second hand of the clock was moving, Aileen's pulse was conveyed to me.
这是一个交叉双手腕的动作。这是来自爱玲生活的母星林德伯格的问候。穿过两条静脉,把振动传送到另一边。仿佛时钟的秒针在走动,爱玲的脉搏传给了我。
"This industrial complex won't forget you."
“这个工业联合体不会忘记你。”

After leaving the Yoo Jonghyuk Industrial Complex, I headed straight to the Kim Dokja Industrial Complex. Originally it should've taken a week but the engine of the X-grade Ferrarigini meant it only took two hours.
离开柳钟玉工业园区后,我径直前往金道嘉工业园区。最初它应该采取一个星期,但引擎的x级费拉里吉尼意味着它只需要两个小时。
I sat in the passenger seat and looked at the scenery passing by while thinking about Aileen's words.
我坐在副驾驶座上,一边想着爱玲的话,一边看着路过的风景。
-There was on dokkaebi, one from the sinister family with a lump and several constellations.
年的今天,在dokkaebi上有一个人,他来自一个阴险的家庭,有好几个星座。
It was a list of those who came to visit while I was away. The dokkaebi was probably from the bureau and the sinister family with a lump was probably a wenny person. I couldn't guess the constellations because they didn't leave their modifiers.
这是我不在时来访者的名单。多卡比可能是局里的人,那个阴险的家族可能是个温柔的人。我猜不出星座,因为它们没有留下修饰语。
-Be careful, there are many strong people in the Demon World watching you.
小心,恶魔世界里有很多强壮的人在看着你。
There was no need to tell me. I just needed to look at the channel.
没有必要告诉我,我只是需要看一下频道。
[Many constellations are paying attention to your actions.]
许多星座都在关注你的行动
[Your modifier is spreading among the constellations of the absolute evil system.] [The constellation Demon-like Judge of Fire is watching you with anxious eyes.]
你的修饰语正在绝对邪恶系统的星座之间传播[像恶魔一样的火之审判者正焦急地看着你。]
There were no three days until the Demon King Selection. I looked to the back seat where Jang Hayoung and the Breaking the Sky Master were hugging each other while sleeping. The Breaking the Sky Master and Jang Hayoung must be tired.
没有三天,直到魔王选择。我看了看后座,张海英和破天师睡觉时拥抱在一起。打破天空的主人和张海英一定累了。
In particular, Jang Hayoung was forced to operate the Unidentified Wall because of me. Still, their presence meant I could think of something to try.
尤其是因为我,张海英被迫操作不明墙。尽管如此,他们的存在意味着我可以想出一些可以尝试的办法。
I glanced at the driver's seat and asked, "Department Head Han Myungoh."
我瞥了一眼驾驶座,问道:“部门主管韩明玉。”
"Hmm?" Han Myungoh glanced at me with a puzzled expression from where he was experimenting with the function of the X-grade Ferrarigini. I didn't know if he was conscious of my gaze but Han Myungoh cleared his throat. "Hum hum, life isn't easy?"
“嗯?”韩明戈迷惑地看了我一眼,他正在试验x级的费拉里吉尼的功能。我不知道他是否注意到了我的目光,但韩明武清了清嗓子。“哼哼,生活不容易吗?”
…Honestly, the timing was strange. Han Myungoh saw my confusion and quickly added.
说实话,这个时间点很奇怪,韩明戈看出了我的困惑,很快补充道。
"I felt it while living… life is supposed to be like this. There are times when nothing can be done and times when things don't work out."
“我在生活中感受到了......生活应该是这样的。有些时候什么也做不了,有些时候事情不顺利。”
It was an obvious statement but Han Myungoh's expression contained a certain amount of affection. Come to think of it, Han Myungoh had really experienced many things. In a sense, he might've had a harder time than me.
这是一个显而易见的声明,但韩明悟的表情包含着一定程度的感情。回想起来,韩明悟确实经历了很多事情。在某种意义上,他可能比我过得更艰难。
I thought about it and suddenly wanted to ask Han Myungoh something. "Can I ask you something?"
我想了想,突然想问韩明高一件事:“我能问你一件事吗?”
"Ask me anything."
“随便问我。”
Perhaps the man who gave birth to a child in this world could make a reliable expression. I repeatedly turned the smartphone on and off as I thought about what to say.
也许在这个世界上生孩子的男人可以做出一个可靠的表达。当我考虑说什么的时候,我不断地打开和关闭智能手机。
Han Myungoh seemed to accept my actions and opened his mouth. "Kung… it was painful."
韩明悟似乎接受了我的举动,张开了嘴,“孔......很痛苦。”
"What are you saying?"
“你在说什么?”
"I thought that's what you wanted to ask. It is a pain that's hard for any man or woman to endure."
“我以为这就是你想问的。这是一种任何男人或女人都难以忍受的痛苦。”
I was shocked once I understood what Han Myungoh was talking about. No, I didn't want to ask him about that…
一旦我明白了韩明悟所说的,我就震惊了。不,我不想问他这个..。
Still, I was curious. "Where did it come from?"
不过,我还是很好奇,“它是从哪里来的?”
"I gave birth in my heart."
“我在心里生了孩子。”
"Was it painful?"
“痛吗?”
Han Myungoh pulled out a cigarette and suddenly made a serious expression. "At first, I was going to kill you."
韩明戈抽出一支烟,突然严肃地说:“刚开始我还想杀了你呢。”
The bitter cigarette smoke flew out the window.
苦涩的香烟烟雾飞出了窗外。
"It was shameful and humiliating. I was dumbfounded and wondered why I was in a situation like this."
“这是羞耻和耻辱。我目瞪口呆,不知道为什么我会处于这样的境地。”
"…"
"..."
"I tried the methods that appeared in dramas. For example, things like eating a lot of soy sauce. It wasn't easy to find because of the situation."
“我尝试了戏剧中出现的方法。例如,吃很多酱油。由于当时的情况,要找到它并不容易。”
There was no sense of reality as I heard this story from Han Myungoh. It would've been an unimaginable hardship for me.
当我从HanMyungoh那里听到这个故事的时候,没有一点真实感。这对我来说是难以想象的艰难。
"I was scared. What if I gave birth to a monster? What if my child ate me? One day, suddenly tearing out of my belly and killing me…"
“我很害怕。如果我生了一个怪物呢?如果我的孩子吃了我怎么办?有一天,突然从我肚子里撕裂出来,杀了我......”
"…"
"..."
"I was alone for countless nights, ran away and avoided monsters while feeling worried. What should I do about this child? Should I kill it, let it live, kill birth to it or…"
“我独自一人度过了无数个夜晚,一边担心,一边逃跑,躲避着怪物。我该拿这个孩子怎么办?我应该杀了它,让它活着,杀了它的后代,还是......”
I didn't use Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint but the numerous scenarios where Han Myungoh ran away passed through my head. Han Myungoh spoke with an expression I had never seen before.
我没有使用《无所不知的读者视角》,但是韩明悟逃跑的无数场景在我脑海中闪过。韩明戈用一种我以前从未见过的表情说话。
"Even so, do you know? Funnily, months passed as I thought about it. Then while struggling, I survived."
“即便如此,你知道吗?有趣的是,几个月过去了,我一直在思考这个问题。然后在挣扎中,我活了下来。”
Han Myungoh was able to survive the grandiose scenarios for one reason.
HanMyungoh之所以能够在这些宏大的场景中幸存下来,只有一个原因。
"I realized it at that time. Ah, perhaps this child saved me. Thus, I decided. Whether I live or die, let's give birth to the child."
“当时我意识到了这一点。啊,也许这个孩子救了我。因此,我决定。不管我是死是活,让我们生下这个孩子吧。”
He suddenly threw the cigarette out the window. Han Myungoh pulled out a new cigarette. In that short time, Han Myungoh looked distant before coming back.
他突然把香烟扔出了窗外。韩明玉拿出一支新香烟。在这短短的时间里,韩明悟在回来之前看上去很遥远。
I knew Han Myungoh well. He was one of the people who would surely enter the list of 10 worst people I knew. Nevertheless, at this moment, Han Myungoh felt like a decent person.
我和韩明悟很熟。他肯定会进入我所认识的最糟糕的10个人之列。尽管如此,此时此刻,韩明悟还是觉得自己是个正派的人。
"She was an infinitely beautiful baby. She wasn't human but she was incredibly pretty."
“她是一个无比美丽的婴儿。她不是人类,但她非常漂亮。”
"…I've seen her."
“我见过她。”
She was pretty, which was why Asmodeus used her as his incarnation body. I was just thinking this when the smile on Han Myungoh's face disappeared. The story didn't end well but I could see what Han Myungoh wanted to say.
她很漂亮,这就是为什么阿斯莫德斯用她作为他的化身的原因。我正在想这件事的时候,HanMyungoh脸上的笑容消失了。这个故事的结局并不好,但是我知道韩明武想说什么。
After a while, Han Myungoh kept speaking. "Thus, Dokja-ssi should try it."
过了一会儿,韩明悟不停地说,“所以,杜克斯应该试试。”
"…I should try giving birth?"
“我应该试着生孩子吗?”
"No, I'm worried about Dokja-ssi."
“不,我担心Dokja-ssi。”
I felt a momentary prick. My confused face reflected on the smartphone screen.
我感到一阵刺痛,我迷惑的脸在智能手机屏幕上显示出来。
"I don't know what Dokja-ssi is thinking. To be honest, I didn't like the original Dokja-ssi."
“我不知道Dokja-ssi在想什么。说实话,我不喜欢原版的Dokja-ssi。”
"That's good to know."
“很高兴知道这一点。”
"Yet I can feel that Dokja-ssi is strange recently."
“然而,我能感觉到Dokja-ssi最近有些奇怪。”
I closed my mouth.
我闭上了嘴。
"I know that things don't work out well. Not everything will flow as you wish. Even so, don't dwell on it too much and let your heart lead you."
“我知道事情进展得并不顺利。不是所有的事情都能如你所愿。即便如此,也不要想太多,让你的心引导你。”
"…"
"..."
"It is Dokja-ssi who survived whatever happened. If you don't do it right, you'll regret it later."
“不管发生了什么,都是Dokja-ssi活了下来。如果你做得不好,你以后会后悔的。”
Really, I had lived for a long time and see the world. I never expected there would come a day when I empathized with this guy.
真的,我已经活了很长时间,看到了这个世界。我从没想过有一天我会同情这个家伙。
The LCD screen of the smartphone turned on and the file of Ways of Survival was shown.
智能手机的液晶显示屏打开,文件的生存方式显示。
-Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World (2nd Revision).txt
-三种方法在废墟中生存(第二修订版).txt
I didn't have Han Myungoh's experiences. I never had a child, nor did I plan to have one. Nevertheless, I strangely knew a bit of Han Myungoh's feelings.
我没有HanMyungoh的经历。我从来没有过孩子,也没打算要孩子。然而,奇怪的是,我对韩明悟的感情略知一二。
To read or not read the second revision. This was the only thing occupying my thoughts for the last few hours.
阅读或不阅读第二修订本。在过去的几个小时里,这是唯一占据我脑海的事情。
I was scared that I would be affected by reading the novel. It was painful to confirm the results of my work. I was afraid that my 'future' might be fixed.
我害怕读这本小说会受到影响。确认我的工作成果是痛苦的。我担心我的未来可能会被改变。
However, it was laughable from the beginning. Han Myungoh's words…
然而,这从一开始就是可笑的。韩明悟的话..。
Yes, this story wasn't properly born yet. I opened the file of Ways of Survival without hesitation. Then I started reading as I always did.
是的,这个故事还没有正式诞生。我毫不犹豫地打开了《生存之道》的文件夹。然后我开始像往常一样阅读。
