-I know how to kill Yoo Jonghyuk.
-我知道怎么杀柳钟玉。
Those were Han Sooyoung’s words.
这是韩素英的原话。
I hesitated for a moment before opening my mouth. “…You don’t have to do something like that. A perfect story isn’t the best story.”
我犹豫了一会儿才开口说话。“你不必这样做。一个完美的故事不是最好的故事。”
From afar, there was a deafening roar from the collision between Yoo Jonghyuk and Uriel. The light that emanated from the sky filled Han Sooyoung’s white eyes.
从远处看，柳永玉和乌列尔之间的冲突发出震耳欲聋的吼声。从天而降的光线充满了韩秀英的白眼睛。
“Yoo Jonghyuk has to die in this scenario. That way, the world I am hoping for will be finished.”
“在这种情况下，柳永玉必须死。这样，我希望的世界就会完蛋。”
“What world are you hoping for…”
“你希望什么样的世界......”
“Didn’t you look into my head? Yet you’re still saying this?”
“你没有看过我的脑袋吗?你还在说这个?”
My voice was buried by another roar. It was a meaningless question in the first place. As Han Sooyoung mentioned, I got a glimpse of the world she dreamt of.
我的声音被另一声吼声掩盖了。这首先是一个毫无意义的问题。正如韩秀英提到的，我瞥见了她梦想的世界。
It was a utopia without any gaps. It was an answer that only a person who digested the original novel in a completely different way could present.
这是一个没有任何空白的乌托邦。这是一个只有以完全不同的方式理解原著的人才能给出的答案。
I turned my head and watched the battle between Yoo Jonghyuk and Uriel. In the world that Han Sooyoung dreamt of, the answer for this battle was as followed:
我转过头，看着柳永玉和乌列之间的战斗。在韩秀英梦寐以求的世界里，这场战役的答案如下:
「 The archangel of flames will die here. 」
“火焰中的大天使将死于此地”
As if waiting, the party members gathered around Uriel and Yoo Jonghyuk’s battlefield. Lee Jihye was preparing Instant Kill, Lee Hyunsung charted up Great Mountain Smash, Kim Namwoon was untying his bandage and seemed ready to call the Abyssal Black Flame Dragon.
似乎在等待，党员们聚集在乌列和柳钟玉的战场周围。李智慧正在准备瞬间杀死，李贤星正在绘制大山粉碎的图表，金南云正在解开他的绷带，似乎准备呼叫深海黑色火龙。
I grasped Unbroken Faith. Han Sooyoung noticed my movements and glared at me. “Wait, you…!”
我抓住了坚定的信念。韩淑英注意到我的动作，瞪着我。“等等，你......!”
It was obviously Han Sooyoung, not Yoo Jonghyuk, who made this world. But… so what?
显然是韩秀英创造了这个世界，而不是柳钟玉。但是......那又怎样？
[The constellation ‘Demon King of Salvation’ is opening his ‘status.’]
[星座‘救世恶魔之王’打开了他的‘身份’。]
In the first place, this wasn’t the story I wanted to read. The small horns that symbolized a demon king rose from my head. I wanted to embody the wings but it wasn’t possible with the imperfect Demon World’s Spring. Han Sooyoung was surprised but didn’t stop me. Perhaps she thought it was impossible to stop the fight with my own strength.
首先，这不是我想读的故事。象征恶魔之王的小角从我的头上升起。我想把它的翅膀具体化，但是不完美的魔鬼世界的春天是不可能的。韩素英很惊讶，但没有阻止我。也许她认为用我自己的力量是不可能阻止这场战斗的。
I knew it as well. By the way, now I wasn’t alone.
我也知道，顺便说一句，现在我不是一个人了。
“Gabriel, Jophiel.”
“加布里埃尔，乔菲尔。”
[The constellation ‘Lily Pin of Aquarius’ is looking at you.] [The constellation ‘Commander of the Red Cosmos’ is looking at you.]
[宝瓶座的百合花瓶正在看着你。][“红色宇宙的指挥官”星座正在看着你。]
“Please help me.”
“请帮帮我。”
[The archangels says that it will require more probability than before.]
[大天使说这需要比以前更大的概率]
“It doesn’t matter.”
“没关系。”
The moment I gave permission, the status of the two angels entered me. I felt my skin tearing and something grew.
我一允许，那两个天使的身份就进入了我的身体。我感到我的皮肤撕裂了，有什么东西长了出来。
[The archangels’ ‘status’ dwells within you.]
[大天使的‘身份’存在于你的内心]
Six wings grew from me, just like when I destroyed the constellations.
我长出了六只翅膀，就像我摧毁星座一样。
[The status of a demon king and an archangel are conflicting inside you.]
[恶魔王和大天使的身份在你体内是矛盾的]
The stories that didn’t mix screamed from inside me. An archangel’s status was added to the power of a demon king. The wavelength that was impossible with common sense swept through the battlefield.
那些没有融合在一起的故事在我内心尖叫着。一个大天使的地位被加入到魔王的力量中。常识不可能的波长席卷了整个战场。
“What, this status…!”
“什么，这种状态......!”
It was natural to be shocked. Now Uriel was the only archangel to survive in this world. Yet the status that could be felt from me belonged to an archangel.
感到震惊是很自然的。乌列尔是这个世界上唯一幸存下来的大天使。然而，我所能感受到的地位却属于一个大天使。
[The demon king ‘Black Mane Lion’ is watching you!] [The demon king ‘Devil of Lust and Fury’ is looking at you!] (TL: Slight change to Asmodeus’ modifier)
[恶魔之王‘黑鬃狮’正在看着你!][魔王‘欲望与愤怒的魔鬼’正在看着你!](TL:稍微改变Asmodeus的修饰词)
It was surprising that the power of a demon king and archangel dwelt in one being. As far as I knew, there was only one existence in the world that could create this type of status in Ways of Survival.
令人惊讶的是，恶魔国王和大天使的力量居住在一个存在中。据我所知，世界上只有一种存在可以在《生存之道》中创造这种地位。
[Demon. King…!]
恶魔国王
Uriel felt my presence and looked over here. The moment I opened my mouth, Gabriel who descended inside me struck first.
乌列感觉到了我的存在，看着这里。我一张开嘴，下到我体内的加布里埃尔就先动手了。
[Uriel! Stop! What is this?]
乌里叶!停下!这是什么
The majesty of the archangel’s true voice caused a light of reason to return to Uriel’s eyes.
大天使真实声音的威严使得乌列尔的眼睛里闪现出理智之光。
[…Gabriel?]
加百列
[Are you out of your mind? What are you doing?]
你疯了吗?你在干什么
Gabriel’s true voice flowed through me. I looked at Uriel’s cold eyes and belatedly realized the mistake.
加布里埃尔真实的声音在我耳边回荡。我看着乌列冷冷的眼睛，后来才意识到这个错误。
[Look, these are the people you like! Yoo Jonghyuk and Kim Dokja! You are always talking about them!]
[看，这就是你喜欢的人!YooJonghyuk和KimDokja!你总是在谈论他们!]
The moment Gabriel’s incarnation approached Uriel, her lips opened.
当加布里埃尔的化身接近乌列尔时，她张开了嘴。
[What are you talking about? ■■■]
(你在说什么?■■)
The confused Gabriel stiffened. Uriel continued speaking. [You are alive Gabriel. You also groveled to a demon king.]
糊涂的加百列僵硬了。乌列继续说道。[你还活着，加百列。你也向一个魔王卑躬屈膝。]
[W-What are you saying?]
你在说什么
-Ahhhhhhh!
-啊！
Uriel’s enormous magic power flooded the Gwanghwamun area. Hell Flames Ignition was running wild and turning it into hell. I was able to see Yoo Jonghyuk’s coat melting away from the high temperature.
乌列巨大的魔法力量淹没了光化门地区。地狱火焰点火是运行狂野，并把它变成地狱。我能够看到柳永玉的外套在高温下融化。
The unnamed things were swept away by the aftereffects and scattered into pieces of meat.
这些没有名字的东西被后遗症冲走，散落成肉块。
I shouted, “Gabriel!”
我喊道，“加布里埃尔!”
The dazed Gabriel belatedly handed his strength to me.
昏昏沉沉的加布里埃尔迟迟不肯把力气递给我。
[I will hear the explanation later.]
我以后再听你解释
To be honest, I wasn’t confident in explaining. They wouldn’t be able to fathom what happened to Eden in the 1863rd round. Once the archangels of the third round knew the information, I didn’t know what type of storm I would be swept up in or the psychologically damage Gabriel would receive. Because… Gabriel of the 1863rd round betrayed Eden.
老实说，我没有信心解释。他们无法了解艾登在1863年的第一轮比赛中发生了什么。一旦第三回合的大天使们知道了这些信息，我不知道我会卷入什么样的风暴，也不知道加布里埃尔会受到什么样的心理伤害。因为...1863年的Gabriel背叛了Eden。
“Yoo Jonghyuk!”
“柳永玉!”
The moment I called out, Yoo Jonghyuk cut the flames using Breaking the Sky Swordsmanship. I plunged into the flames.
我一喊，柳永玉就用破天剑砍断了火焰，我跳进了火焰中。
Three petals from Gabriel and Jophiel scattered in the air. There was a huge charge and something rose inside me. I took advantage of the reaction from the colliding magic power to instantly approach Uriel.
加布里埃尔和乔菲尔的三片花瓣散落在空中。有一个巨大的冲击，我的内心升起了一些东西。我利用碰撞产生的魔法力量的反作用立即接近乌列。
I’m sorry Uriel.
对不起，乌列。
I grabbed Uriel’s head with both hands. The power of the White Pure Star Energy and the status of the archangels and demon king struck Uriel’s head. Uriel made a pained frown but Uriel’s momentum didn’t decrease at all.
我用双手抓住乌列尔的头。白色纯净之星能量的力量以及大天使和魔王的地位击中了乌列尔的头。乌列痛苦地皱了皱眉，但乌列的势头丝毫没有减弱。
Rather, her flames were encroaching towards me little by little. The high heat caused my wings and horns to melt slightly. I was the one who groaned first. This was the power of Edens’ strongest combat angel.
相反，她的火焰正一点一点地侵蚀着我。高温导致我的翅膀和角轻微融化。我是第一个抱怨的人。这就是伊登斯最强大的战斗天使的力量。
Uriel smiled brutally and called the hell flames to her hands. The hottest flames in the world. The moment that sharp blade of flames aimed at my heart.
乌列残忍地笑了笑，把地狱之火叫到她的手上。世界上最热的火焰。那一瞬间，锋利的火焰刀口对准了我的心。
“Jophiel!”
“乔菲尔!”
Huge sparks appeared at my fingertips and Uriel’s body was surrounded by a circular restraint reminiscent of a halo. Uriel cried out with shock as the white constraints bound her.
巨大的火花出现在我的指尖和乌列的身体周围是一个圆形的约束使人联想到光环。当白色的约束束缚住她时，乌列震惊地大叫起来。
Uriel’s status was reduced in an instant and the flames suddenly extinguished. Uriel was one of the most powerful archangels in Eden. No other angel could match her in fighting demons.
乌列的地位瞬间降低，火焰突然熄灭。乌列尔是伊甸园中最强大的大天使之一。在对抗恶魔方面，没有其他天使能与她相比。
However, what if the opponent was also an archangel?
然而，如果对手也是大天使呢？
Archangel Jophiel. Unlike the other angels who focused on demon eradication, Jophiel had one more special ability.
大天使乔菲尔。不同于其他专注于消灭恶魔的天使，乔菲尔有一个更加特殊的能力。
[Confinement of Good and Evil.]
[善与恶的限制]
Uriel’s skill that was used to hunt fallen angels exerted strength against Uriel. Uriel tried to escape but the restraint tightened. Uriel struggled before finally giving up on rebelling and collapsed. The archangel trapped by the constraints would fall into a deep sleep for a week.
乌列用来猎杀堕落天使的技能施加在乌列身上。乌列试图逃跑，但限制却越来越紧。乌列在最终放弃反叛和崩溃之前挣扎着。受到约束的大天使会陷入一个星期的深度睡眠。
I hugged the sleeping Uriel and moved out of the fire with Yoo Jonghyuk. I emerged from the smoke and saw the party members looking this way. Someone stared with astonishment while others felt admiration…someone else was staring at me with faint hostility.
我拥抱了正在睡觉的乌列尔，和柳永玉一起离开了火堆。我从烟雾中出来，看到党员们朝这边看。有人惊讶地盯着我，而其他人则感到钦佩......有人带着淡淡的敌意盯着我。
I watched Han Sooyoung. “This is something that wasn’t present in the world of your dreams.”
我看着韩秀英，“这是你梦想的世界里没有的东西。”
“…Uriel being dead or not has no impact on the big picture. You’ve seen it so shouldn’t you know?
“......乌列的死活对整个局势没有影响，你已经看到了，难道你不应该知道吗？
My visualization is perfect.”
我的想象力是完美的。”
Her white coat fluttered as Han Sooyoung walked towards me. She soon reached my nose and looked up at me. She glanced at the burned angel wings and broken demon horns and asked, “Kim Dokja, what world do you want? You have read the story to the end and there must be a world you want.”
韩素英朝我走来时，她的白大褂飘动起来。她很快就摸到我的鼻子，抬头看着我。她瞥了一眼烧焦的天使翅膀和折断的魔鬼角，问道:“金道佳，你想要什么世界？你已经把故事读到了结尾，你肯定想要一个世界。”
I knew Han Sooyoung’s words very well.
我非常了解韩秀英的话。
「 “What is the world that I want?” 」
“我想要的世界是什么?”
They were the very words that Yoo Jonghyuk always used when recruiting new colleagues. I told Han Sooyoung. “I’m not your colleague.”
这正是柳永玉在招聘新同事时经常使用的词。我告诉韩秀英。“我不是你的同事。”
“I need you to complete this story.”
“我需要你完成这个故事。”
Han Sooyoung continued while pointing to Yoo Jonghyuk. “Don’t you also need the completion of a new story?”
韩秀英指着柳钟玉继续说道:“难道你不需要完成一个新的故事吗?”
It seemed that she knew why I came to this world. I examined the faces of the party members one by one. Lee Hyunsung, Lee Jihye, Lee Seolhwa, Shin Yoosung, Kim Namwoon…
她似乎知道我为什么来到这个世界。我一个接一个地检查了党员们的脸。李贤成，李智慧，李世华，申永成，金南云..。
So far, there was no round where all of them had survived up to this point. However— “What’s new about this story?”
到目前为止，还没有发现他们全部幸存下来的地方。然而ー“这个故事有什么新鲜事吗?”
I was watching Yoo Jonghyuk. The only person not selected by this world. He repeated thousands of rounds to save this world but this time, he had to die for the world.
我在看柳钟玉。这个世界上唯一没有被选中的人。为了拯救这个世界，他重复了成千上万次，但这一次，他必须为这个世界而死。
Han Sooyoung’s world was also a world where someone must die in the end. There were countless other worlds like that, not just Han Sooyoung’s world.
韩素英的世界也是一个人终有一死的世界。不仅仅是韩素英的世界，还有无数个类似的世界。
“You have read part of the original, changed the development and placed the name of another person in the place of the protagonist.”
“你已经阅读了原作的一部分，改变了发展方向，把另一个人的名字放在了主角的位置。”
Some reproductions might surpass the original. However, they could never be the original.
有些复制品可能会超过原作，但它们永远不可能是原作。
“Do you know what they call such an act?”
“你知道他们怎么称呼这种行为吗?”
I wanted to have a relaxed smile but now I wasn’t in the mood. Han Sooyoung stared at me with blazing eyes. “This isn’t the round you were in. Don’t talk nonsense.”
我想要一个放松的微笑，但是现在我没有心情。韩素英瞪大了眼睛看着我。“这不是你当时所在的那一轮。别胡说八道。”
Han Sooyoung no longer listened to me and turned away. “I’ll give you three days. You better decide by then. Help me or don’t help me. That’s all I want to hear.”
韩素英不再听我的话，转过身去。“我给你三天时间。你最好在那之前决定。帮不帮我。这就是我想听到的。”
The party members followed Han Sooyoung and entered the building one by one. Lee Hyunsung helped Lee Seolhwa transport patients. Lee Jihye and Kim Namwoon glanced at me before looking away.
党员们跟着韩秀英，一个接一个地进入了大楼。李贤成帮助李世华运送病人。李吉惠和金南云看了我一眼，然后把目光移开。
This wasn’t my round. The people in my round were waiting for me and I could go back if I killed Yoo Jonghyuk.
这轮不是我的。我周围的人都在等着我，如果我杀了柳钟玉，我就可以回去。
I looked at Yoo Jonghyuk. There were holes in his coat as Yoo Jonghyuk stood there with foolish eyes.
我看着柳钟玉，他的外套上有几个洞，而柳钟玉傻傻地站在那里。
…However, was that really all I had to do?
然而，这真的是我要做的全部吗？
***

Han Sooyoung was sweating when she opened her eyes in the darkness. There were faint sparks around her body. Her entire body was freezing cold.
韩素英在黑暗中睁开眼睛，浑身冒汗。她的身体周围有微弱的火花。她全身冰凉。
Han Sooyoung took a deep breath and rose from her spot. She turned on her smartphone and opened her novel file. SSSSS-grade Infinite Regressor.
韩秀英深吸了一口气，站起身来。她打开智能手机，打开她的小说文件夹。Sss-级无限回归模型。
「 Yoo Junhyun thought about it. 」
“俞俊贤想到了这一点。”
「 …I’m afraid. 」
“...恐怕”
「 Is it just up to here? 」
“就在这里吗?”
These were the contents of the saved pages. Nevertheless, Han Sooyoung read them. She read them again and again, as if the contents would be blown away if she didn’t.
这些是保存页面的内容。不过，韩素英还是读了。她一遍又一遍地读着，仿佛如果她不读的话，内容就会被吹走。
How long did she read? The sparks around her started shrinking. She barely managed a sigh. If she had been a bit later, her existence itself would be swallowed up by the sparks.
她读了多长时间？她周围的火花开始萎缩。她勉强叹了口气。如果她再晚一点，她的存在本身就会被火花所吞噬。
It wasn’t the first time. It was the probability storm gnawing at my memories. It wasn’t known if this was a side effect of the excessive use of Avatar or related to Ways of Survival.
这不是第一次了。可能是暴风雨侵蚀着我的记忆。目前尚不清楚这是过度使用阿凡达的副作用，还是与《生存之道》有关。
[The Star Stream is watching incarnation ‘Han Sooyoung.’]
[星流正在观看化身‘韩秀英’。]
Han Sooyoung bit her lips and relaxed her body. Her shoulders and wrists hardened by the side effects were checked one by one. She could feel the eyes of countless constellations on her.
韩淑英咬着嘴唇，放松身体。她的肩膀和手腕因为副作用而变得僵硬，一个接一个地接受检查。她能感觉到无数星座的目光注视着她。
Han Sooyoung thought, ‘Look as much as you like. I didn’t start this just to end here.’
韩素英心想:‘随便你怎么看，我不是为了这个才开始的。’
After warming up, the coldness in her bones were gone. Han Sooyoung put on a coat and glanced out the window.
热身后，她骨头里的寒冷消失了。韩秀英穿上外套，向窗外望去。
Kim Dokja and her party members could be seen. They were awkward on the first day but after a few days, they were chatting. It was strange. Those who had gone through 94 scenarios and were filled with distrust quickly opened their hearts to him.
