"What?"
“什么?”
"I won't go."
“我不去。”
It was an unexpected answer so I looked like a fool. "Why?"
这是一个出人意料的回答,所以我看起来像个傻瓜。“为什么?”
"Without me, they will all die."
“没有我,他们都会死。”
I doubted my ears. I couldn't believe that Han Sooyoung could talk like this. My voice involuntarily became louder and aggressive.
我怀疑自己的耳朵。我不敢相信韩素英会这样说话。我的声音不由自主地变得更大,更有攻击性。
"Didn't you want to make your own world?"
“难道你不想创造自己的世界吗?”
"…I can make my world later. Somebody has to lead them."
“...我可以以后再创造我的世界,总得有人来领导他们。”
"Why all of a sudden…"
“为什么突然......”
"Yoo Jonghyuk is no longer a character. What do you think that means?"
“柳永玉不再是一个角色了。你觉得这意味着什么?”
I closed my mouth.
我闭上了嘴。
"It is no longer a novel."
“这不再是一部小说了。”
My heart pounded at Han Sooyoung's words.
听到HanSooyoung的话,我的心怦怦直跳。
[The exclusive skill 'Fourth Wall' is strongly activated!]
[独家技能‘第四面墙’被强烈激活!]
"It isn't about being forgiven for everything. No matter how the developments flow, we should end the story properly."
“这不是说什么事情都要原谅。不管事态如何发展,我们都应该恰当地结束这个故事。”
Han Sooyoung's face couldn't be seen properly because of the brim of her hat. Before my words finished, Han Sooyoung left the situation room. I saw Han Sooyoung talking to the people outside the situation room. I kept watching.
韩素英的脸因为帽檐太大而看不清楚。我还没说完,韩素英就离开了战情室。我看到韩秀英在战情室外面和人们交谈。我一直看着。

Before leaving, there were a few things that needed to be addressed. One of them was Uriel.
在离开之前,有一些事情需要处理,其中之一就是乌列尔。
I looked down at the confined Uriel doll. She was currently in a state of calm but once the confinement was over, Uriel would wake up again as the Angel of Flames. She would burn all living things around her.
我低头看着受限制的乌列娃娃。她目前在一个平静的状态,但一旦禁闭结束,乌列尔将再次醒来,作为火焰天使。她会烧掉周围所有的生物。
Gabriel's true voice entered my ears. [What are you going to do with Uriel?]
加布里埃尔真实的声音进入了我的耳朵。[你要对乌列做什么?]
"I am thinking."
“我在思考。”
I looked down at Gabriel who was waving her helplessly drooping petals. Perhaps she was shocked by the situation here. According to the original setting, Gabriel was someone who took good care of other angels.
我低头看着加布里埃尔,他正无可奈何地挥舞着飘落的花瓣。也许她对这里的情况感到震惊。根据最初的设定,加布里埃尔是一个善于照顾其他天使的人。
[I'll stay.]
我会留下来
"It isn't possible."
“这是不可能的。”
[Why? Is it because I betrayed this place?]
为什么?是因为我背叛了这个地方吗
I didn't answer. Gabriel acted like it was unfair.
我没有回答,加布里埃尔表现得很不公平。
[Why did I betray Eden?]
(我为什么要背叛伊登?)
"It must've been an unavoidable decision for you."
“对你来说,这一定是一个不可避免的决定。”
[Tell me the details accurately. What happened? You know something!] "I don't know exactly. If you are curious, go back and talk to Metatron."
详细情况请准确地告诉我。发生了什么?你知道什么!]“我不太清楚。如果你好奇,回去和梅塔特隆谈谈。”
It wasn't good for me to intervene in this thing. There was a possibility that the development of the third round could find unexpected difficulties because of misinterpreted information. Gabriel's leaves trembled.
我插手这件事对我没有好处。第三轮的发展可能会因为错误解释的信息而遇到意想不到的困难。加布里埃尔的树叶在颤抖。
[If I go back, won't I betray Eden again? Then I would rather remain here―] "The future can change. We have to go back." I spoke with confidence. This world wasn't our world.
如果我回去,我不会再次背叛伊甸园吗?那么我宁愿留在这里——]“未来可以改变。我们必须回去。”我满怀信心地说道。这个世界不是我们的世界。
[Then Uriel…!]
[然后乌列...!]
"I told you, I'm thinking."
“我告诉过你,我在思考。”
For now, the best option was to leave Uriel to Han Sooyoung. However, I wasn't sure if she could control the Archangel of Flames.
目前,最好的选择是把乌列留在HanSooyoung。然而,我不确定她是否能控制火焰大天使。
「 The Fourth Wall is saying, "Do you want me to come out?" 」
“第四堵墙正在说:“要我出来吗?”
There was a way to tell Uriel the story of the third round. However, as I said many times, there was no guarantee that Uriel would hear the story and react like Yoo Jonghyuk. Perhaps the story of my world line might further ruin Uriel's insecure spirit.
有一个方法可以告诉乌列第三轮的故事。然而,正如我多次说过的,并不能保证乌列会听到这个故事,并作出柳永久玉那样的反应。也许我的世界线的故事会进一步摧毁乌列尔不安全的精神。
Still, there might be a bigger problem if I really left Gabriel here. Moreover, Gabriel couldn't use Confinement of Good and Evil… I would also like to stay a bit longer and help Uriel…
不过,如果我真的把加布里埃尔留在这里,可能会有一个更大的问题。此外,加布里埃尔不能使用善与恶的限制...我也想停留一会儿,帮助乌列..。
[I will stay, Gabriel.]
我会留下来的,加布里埃尔
The petals of the red cosmos swayed. I reflexively bowed my head and the startled Gabriel shouted, […Jophiel?]
红色宇宙的花瓣摇摆着。我条件反射地低下头,惊讶的加布里埃尔喊道,[......乔菲尔?]
[It is best that I stay.]
我最好留下来
It was an unexpected declaration. Even I was stunned. It wasn't another archangel. Jophiel was declaring to stay here?
这是一个出乎意料的声明。连我都惊呆了。这不是另一个大天使。乔菲尔宣布要留在这里?
[I decided after careful consideration. I can control Uriel through Confinement of Good and Evil. Thus, it is right for me to stay here.] "Jophiel, if you don't return to the original world now, you might never be able to return."
我经过仔细考虑后决定。我可以通过禁锢善与恶来控制乌列。因此,我留在这里是对的“乔菲尔,如果你现在不回到原来的世界,你可能永远也回不来了。”
[There are a few ways to cross world lines.] "I know but they all require a tremendous price."
(有几种方法可以跨越世界界线)“我知道,但它们都需要付出巨大的代价。”
[It doesn't matter if I can't go back.]
如果我不能回去也没关系
[Jophiel!]
[约菲尔!]
Jophiel didn't back down despite Gabriel's cry.
尽管加布里埃尔哭了,乔菲尔还是没有退缩。
[This world line also has value. I don't want to depend on this insidious guy but I think it is better to find out more about this world. I have an obligation to find out why the Eden here was destroyed, what things will happen in the future and to inform the original world.]
这条世界线也有价值。我不想依赖这个阴险的家伙,但我认为最好还是多了解一下这个世界。我有义务找出为什么这里的伊甸园被摧毁,未来会发生什么,并且告知原始世界
Jophiel's remark was reasonable. This world was very different from the old 1863rd round and it would certainly help if information could be sent to the third round.
乔菲尔的话是有道理的。这个世界与1863年的旧世界非常不同,如果信息可以发送到第三轮,当然会有所帮助。
[Wait, Jophiel! Why are you making this decision―]
[等等,乔菲尔!你为什么要做这个决定]
[There is no turning back Gabriel.]
没有回头路了,加布里埃尔
A gleam of light emerged from the red cosmos and this turned into a white light that bound the white lily. It was Confinement of Good and Evil. Gabriel's petals drooped like he fell asleep. Jophiel told me. [Please look after Gabriel.]
一束光从红色的宇宙中闪现出来,变成一束束白色的百合花。这是善与恶的禁锢。加布里埃尔的花瓣耷拉着,好像睡着了似的。乔菲尔告诉我。请照顾好加布里埃尔
"Why are you doing this?"
“你为什么要这么做?”
[Uriel needs Gabriel. And Gabriel… both of them are unstable.]
乌列需要加布里埃尔,加布里埃尔......他们两个都不稳定
I thought like Archangel Jophiel. Eden was a nebula made up of archangels.
我像天使长蛇夫座一样思考,伊甸园是由天使长组成的星云。
"Then you?"
“那你呢?”
[I don't believe in you but I have one thing to ask.]
我不相信你,但我有一件事要问
I hesitated before nodding.
我犹豫了一下才点头。
[After returning to the original world line, please visit Eden. Then I hope you can tell the scribe what happened here. Can you do that?]
回到原来的世界线后,请参观伊甸园。那么我希望你能告诉抄写员这里发生了什么。你能做到吗?]
"I understand."
“我明白。”
Certainly, it wasn't a difficult request. I was already planning to visit Eden.
当然,这个要求并不难,因为我已经计划去伊甸园了。
Soon after, Jophiel's cosmos flower drooped. It was a seemingly sleepy and tired appearance. I changed the water bottles of the two flowers.
不久之后,乔菲尔的宇宙花下垂了。这是一个似乎昏昏欲睡和疲倦的外观。我把两朵花的水瓶换了。
Someone was left and someone was leaving. No matter what was chosen, everyone would eventually reach their end.
有人离开了,有人离开了,不管选择了什么,每个人最终都会到达他们的终点。

The next morning, I was sent off by the party members. Many things had happened but the party members said they would send me off. To be precise, it was Lee Hyunsung who said it.
第二天早上,我被党员们打发走了。发生了许多事情,但是党员们说他们要把我送走。准确地说,是李贤星说的。
I turned my head and saw Han Sooyoung staring at me with her unique disgruntled face. I handed her a wrinkled notebook. Han Sooyoung bluntly wondered, "…What is this rubbish?"
我转过头,看见韩素英那张独特的不满的脸盯着我。我递给她一个皱巴巴的笔记本。韩秀英直言不讳地问:“这是什么垃圾?”
"The information you need now."
“你现在需要的信息。”
I had selected a few more pieces of information that would be useful for the 1863rd round from Ways of Survival.
我从《生存之道》中挑选了一些对第1863轮比赛有用的信息。
Sparks rose around Han Sooyoung's body. I vaguely knew its identity. The sparks were related to Han Sooyoung's identity as a 'character.' "Don't throw it away and look at it whenever you have time."
韩素英的尸体周围升起了火花。我模模糊糊地知道它的身份。这些火花与韩素英的“人物”身份有关“不要把它扔掉,有时间就看看。”
Han Sooyoung stared down at the notebook I gave her and asked, "…Is this okay?"
韩淑英低头看着我给她的笔记本,问道:“......这样可以吗?”
"What?"
“什么?”
[The Fourth Wall is strongly activated!]
[第四道墙强烈地被激活了!]
Han Sooyoung stared at me carefully as if reading something on my fate. Then she shook her head. "No, it's nothing. Never mind."
韩淑英仔细地盯着我,好像在读我的命运。然后她摇了摇头。“不,没什么。没关系。”
…She was unreliable.
她不可靠。
Lee Hyunsung listened to the conversation and opened his mouth. "It would've been nice if we couldn't carried out the scenario together. It is unfortunate."
李贤成听着他们的谈话,张开了嘴。“如果我们不能一起执行这个方案,那就太好了。这是不幸的。”
Lee Hyunsung, who became close to me, said goodbye first and then Kim Namwoon stared at me.
和我走得很近的李贤星先说了再见,然后金南云盯着我。
"Bah, get lost. Give my best regards to the me over there."
“哼,滚开。代我向那边的我问好。”
Of course, it wouldn't happen. I had to go to the next world to speak to Kim Namwoon of the third round.
当然,这不会发生。我不得不去另一个世界与第三轮的KimNamwoon谈话。
The moment I finished the goodbyes and was turning around.
当我说完再见,转过身去的那一刻。
"Hey."
“嘿。”
Something with a soft weight came flying towards my back. I hurriedly turned my head and grabbed it. A white coat was caught. It was the Infinite Dimension Space Coat.
有个轻轻的东西朝我的背后飞来。我急忙转过头去抓住它。一件白大褂被抓住了。它是无限维空间的外衣。
"Didn't you never get a clear reward? Take this."
“你不是从来没有得到过明确的奖励吗?拿着。”
It was the coat that Han Sooyoung was wearing. I was dumbfounded. "Coming to the 95th scenario and only getting something like this―"
就是韩素英穿的那件大衣。我目瞪口呆。“来到第95个场景,只得到这样的东西-”
Han Sooyoung looked at me like I was pathetic. Then a thought crossed my mind. This bastard, don't tell me? I placed my hands in my pocket with a bemused expression and Han Sooyoung asked, "The question I didn't ask yesterday, can I finish it now?"
韩素英看着我,好像我是个可怜虫。这时,一个想法闪过我的脑海。这个混蛋,不告诉我?我把手放在口袋里,一脸茫然,韩秀英问道:“昨天没问的问题,现在可以问完吗?”
"…Speak."
“...说话。”
"Why did you say you wouldn't go back to the third round?"
“你为什么说你不会回到第三轮?”
It was an unexpected question. Han Sooyoung continued to ask. "You are playing my part over there… if you didn't go back, that world would've perished. You should know this so why―"
这是一个出人意料的问题。韩素英继续问道。“你在那里扮演我的角色......如果你不回去,那个世界就会毁灭。你应该知道这一点,为什么——”
"Let's see… why?"
“让我想想......为什么?”
"What?"
“什么?”
"Even without me, the third round would've been fine for a long time."
“即使没有我,第三轮在很长一段时间内都会很好。”
"How can you be sure?" Han Sooyoung stared at me suspiciously.
“你怎么能这么肯定?”韩淑英疑惑地看着我。
"You are there."
“你在那儿。”
Han Sooyoung's expression slightly hardened at my words. Her eyes were shaking with vague surprise.
韩素英听了我的话,脸上的表情有点僵硬,她的眼睛因为一种莫名的惊讶而颤抖着。
"I believe in the you of the third round."
“我相信第三轮的你。”
Han Sooyoung stared at me for a moment before turning her head away. "Quickly get lost. I don't want to see you anymore."
韩淑英盯着我看了一会儿,然后转过头去。“快走开。我不想再见到你了。”
"I'm going. Stay alive and well."
“我要走了,好好活着。”
I looked up at the sky.
我抬头仰望天空。
[The constellation 'Demon King of Salvation' is looking at the night sky.] [Secretive Plotter! Please fulfil the contents of the covenant.]
[星座‘救世魔王’正看着夜空]秘密策划者!请履行契约的内容
A new portal was created under my feet. It felt like something was pulling at me as the world started to collapse. The world of the 1863rd round was becoming dim.
一个新的传送门在我脚下被创造出来。当世界开始崩溃的时候,我感觉有什么东西在拉着我。第1863轮的世界变得暗淡了。
A world different from the original that I knew. It was a short time but I felt that many things had changed.
一个与我所知的原始世界不同的世界。虽然时间很短,但我感觉很多事情都变了。
Lee Hyunsung waved while the others sent me off with complicated expressions. Just like Yoo Jonghyuk did and I did, they would walk through a world different from the original that I knew.
李贤星挥了挥手,其他人用复杂的表情打发我走了。就像YooJonghyuk和我所做的那样,他们将穿越一个与我所知道的原始世界不同的世界。
Maybe someday, our worlds might be able to meet one another. However, even if we couldn't meet again, there was no doubt that the world existed. Just like Ways of Survival was to me.
也许有一天,我们的世界能够相遇。然而,即使我们不能再见面,毫无疑问,世界是存在的。就像《生存之道》对我来说。
The world was dark. I felt dizzy while hearing the voice of an outer god.
世界是黑暗的,当我听到外界神的声音时,我感到头晕目眩。
[ On ly the sto ry with out a be gin ning or end will re main. ]
4.只要故事没有结局,就会重新开始
The ground disappeared and I was sucked into the portal. The metaphysically distorted pathways narrowed and expanded several times.
地面消失了,我被吸进了入口,形而上学扭曲的通道变窄变大了好几次。
I closed my eyes and let my body flow in an unmeasurable passage of time. I shouldn't have been gone for too long from the third round.
我闭上眼睛,让我的身体在不可测量的时间里流动。从第三轮开始我就不应该离开太久。
After a while, I fell to the ground with a loud sound.
过了一会儿,我砰地一声倒在地上。
[The Outer World Covenant has been completed!]
[《外部世界盟约》已经完成!]
[The compensation will be settled.]
赔偿问题将得到解决
To be precise, it wasn't the ground. It was the galaxy of the Star Stream that I had seen before. My body was floating in the emptiness of the universe. I groaned and saw the hem of a black cloak dragging against the ground.
准确地说,那不是地面。这就是我之前看到的星流星系。我的身体漂浮在空虚的宇宙中。我呻吟着,看见一件黑斗篷的下摆拖在地上。
[ You came. ]
你来了
It was Secretive Plotter.
是秘密策划者。
