Lee Jihye was holding the Duke of Loyalty and Warfare’s sword in her hand. It wasn’t the Double Dragon Swords that Lee Jihye of the 1863rd round had but the performance was excellent. Maybe she took it from a museum somewhere… “Where is the squid?” She asked the baffled returnees.
李继惠手里握着忠诚与战争公爵的宝剑。虽然不是1863年第二轮比赛中李智慧所拥有的双龙剑,但是他的表现非常出色。也许她是从某个博物馆拿来的...”鱿鱼在哪儿?”她问困惑的回归者。
“Jihye. Stop! It’s me!” I shouted desperately but my mouth didn’t open. On Lee Jihye’s side, it looked like I was screaming and waving my tentacles.
“智慧。住手!是我!”我拼命地喊,但是我的嘴巴没有张开。在LeeJihye那边,我看起来像是在尖叫,挥舞着我的触须。
“Ugh, disgusting squid. Die!” Lee Jihye’s blade flashed as she ran towards me.
“啊,恶心的鱿鱼。去死吧!”李继惠向我跑过来时,她的刀刃闪了一下。
…This was vaguely similar to the 1863rd round. Lee Jihye’s blade narrowly grazed the top of my head. My hair was severed and Lee Gilyoung called out.
这和1863年的情况大致相似。李继惠的剑微微擦过我的头顶。我的头发被剪掉了,LeeGilyoung大声喊道。
“Do a good job Noona! Cut the big tentacles instead of the small ones!”
“努娜,好好干!把大的触角剪掉,不要剪小的!”
“Shut up!”
“闭嘴!”
Somehow my hair looked like tentacles to the other side. They didn’t know it was me but I couldn’t help feeling sad.
不知怎么的,我的头发看起来像另一边的触须。他们不知道那是我,但我情不自禁地感到悲伤。
I warned the returnees who were retreating nervously. “Everyone, don’t attack! I’ll take care of it!”
我警告正在撤退的归国人员:“大家不要进攻,我来处理!”
Fortunately, it was comforting that the returnees listened to me. Flying Fox’s confused voice was heard. “I’ll help you anytime.”
幸运的是,归国人员听了我的话,感到很欣慰,听到了飞狐疑惑的声音:“我随时都可以帮你。”
Flying Fox was a returnee who was pretty outstanding in the 2nd Murim. If an unavoidable situation happened then I could borrow his help. How could I let Lee Jihye know of my existence?
飞狐是一个回归者,在第二届穆里姆比赛中表现非常出色。如果发生了不可避免的情况,我可以借他的帮助。我怎么能让李智慧知道我的存在呢?
“Cut the squid!”
“把鱿鱼切了!”
In this scenario, my ‘spoken language’ wasn’t conveyed to Lee Jihye. However, originally human communication wasn’t just through spoken language.
在这种情况下,我的“口语”并没有传达给李继惠。然而,最初人类的交流并不仅仅是通过口语。
“What? Don’t move strangely!”
“什么?别动得那么奇怪!”
I activated Way of the Wind and started writing on the ground. Lines were drawn on the ground as I avoided Lee Jihye’s sword. The returnees behind me noticed my intentions and let out exclamations.
我激活了《风之路》,开始在地上写作。当我避开李继惠的剑时,地上划出了一条线。我身后的回国人员注意到了我的意图,发出了惊呼。
In fact, I didn’t know if this would work or not. The original novel didn’t cover these types of communication possibilities in detail. The question was, would Lee Jihye notice my intentions?
事实上,我不知道这样是否行得通。最初的小说没有详细地涵盖这些类型的交流可能性。问题是,李智慧会注意到我的意图吗?
“What? Is it writing on the ground?”
“什么?它在地上写字吗?”
Fortunately, Lee Gilyoung was quick to notice and understood my intentions first. Lee Jihye paused and looked down at the ground. There was a note left by my dazzling footsteps. The handwriting was bad but it wasn’t illegible.
幸运的是,LeeGilyoung很快就注意到了,并且首先理解了我的意图。李继惠停了下来,低头看着地面。我耀眼的脚步声留下了一张便条。字迹很糟糕,但不难辨认。
-I am Kim Dokja.
我是KimDokja。
This was the sentence that I wrote. By the way.
顺便说一句,这是我写的句子。
[The scenario penalty has distorted your writing.]
这种情况下的惩罚扭曲了你的写作
…The penalty was applied to this? The Fourth Wall read the distorted sentence on behalf of Lee Jihye.
第四面墙代表李吉赫宣读了歪曲的判决。
「 I am a good look ing squid. 」 [The character ‘Lee Jihye’ has used Demon Slaying Lv. 10!]
“我是一只长得很好看的乌贼”[“李吉慧”这个角色使用了屠妖吕10!]
Lee Jihye’s eyes turned red as she started to accelerate towards me. She was much faster than before and this made it hard for me to dodge. I tried to wave my coat in a sign of surrender but all my efforts were in vain due to the scenario penalty.
李智慧的眼睛变红了,她开始向我加速。她比以前快多了,这使我很难躲开。我试图挥动我的外套以示投降,但是我所有的努力都白费了,因为这个场景的处罚。
[The ‘Ugly Squid’ is provoking the incarnation ‘Lee Jihye’.]
[‘丑鱿鱼’正在激怒‘李吉惠’这个化身]
“Die!”
“去死吧!”
I had a slight headache. If these hallucinations continued, my message would never be delivered over there.
我有轻微的头痛,如果这些幻觉继续下去,我的信息将永远无法传达到那里。
…It would be best just to suppress them. However, I didn’t want to do that. Maybe something had changed in me after the 1863rd round.
最好的办法就是压制它们。然而,我并不想这么做。也许在1863年的第一轮投票之后,我身上发生了一些变化。
「 At that time, something popped up in the head of the good-looking squid. 」
“当时,好看的乌贼头部突然出现了一些东西”
Ah, wait. If this was the case…? I thought for a moment before deciding to do it. No matter how the scenario distorted my language, it couldn’t distort it this much.
等等。如果是这样的话...?我想了一会儿才决定做这件事。不管这个场景如何扭曲了我的语言,它都不可能扭曲得这么厉害。
[The constellation ‘Demon King of Salvation’ has sponsored 91 coins to the incarnation ‘Lee Jihye.’]
[“救世恶魔之王”星座向化身为“李智慧”的人发行了91枚硬币]
Something that couldn’t be distorted.
一些不会被扭曲的东西。
[The scenario penalty has distorted the indirect message.]
[这种情况下的惩罚扭曲了间接信息。]
[The ‘Ugly Squid’ has sponsored 91 coins to the incarnation ‘Lee Jihye’.]
[“丑鱿鱼”已经向化身为“李智慧”的人发行了91枚硬币。]
It was precisely the coin number. Lee Jihye frowned at the sudden donation from the squid. “…What?”
这正是硬币的编号。李智慧对鱿鱼突然的捐赠皱起了眉头。“...什么?”
Come on Jihye, please.
来吧,Jihye,求你了。
[The ‘Ugly Squid’ has sponsored 91 coins to the incarnation ‘Lee Jihye’.] “Do you think I won’t attack you if you give me this?”
[“丑鱿鱼”已经向化身为“李智慧”的人发行了91枚硬币。]“如果你给我这个,你以为我不会攻击你吗?”
[The ‘Ugly Squid’ has sponsored 91 coins to the incarnation ‘Lee Jihye’.] “Don’t be so annoying! I dislike coins that aren’t in units of 100!”
[“丑鱿鱼”已经向化身为“李智慧”的人发行了91枚硬币。]“别这么烦人!我不喜欢不是100单位的硬币!”
…Really? Then what about this?
真的?那这个呢?
[The ‘Ugly Squid’ has sponsored 9,158 coins to the incarnation ‘Lee Jihye’.]
[“丑鱿鱼”已经为化身为“李继慧”的人提供了9158枚硬币。]
For the first time, Lee Jihye’s attacks stopped. She didn’t understand anything. It was just because the amount of sponsored coins had increased.
李智慧的攻击第一次停止了。她什么都不懂。这仅仅是因为赞助的硬币数量增加了。
Lee Gilyoung asked, “Why did you suddenly stop Noona?”
LeeGilyoung问,“你为什么突然停止努纳?”
“No, it keeps giving me coins.”
“不,它一直给我硬币。”
“Coins?”
“硬币?”
The surprised Lee Gilyoung glanced at me. “Is it a constellation?”
李·吉林吃惊地瞥了我一眼:“这是星座吗?”
“What constellation will have a modifier like the Ugly Squid?”
“哪个星座会有丑鱿鱼这样的修饰语?”
There was one. No, not me. It wasn’t a squid but there was someone with a similar modifier. Now my modifier had changed… damn, why was I explaining this?
有一个。不,不是我。这不是乌贼,而是一个具有类似修饰物的人。现在我的修饰语改变了...该死,我为什么要解释这个?
Lee Jihye hesitated as she stared at me with uncertain eyes. “Why does it keep giving 91 coins?”
李智慧犹豫了一下,用不确定的眼神看着我。“为什么它一直给我91个硬币?”
“91 coins?”
“91个硬币?”
“Yes. Then he gave me 9,185 coins at the end.”
“是的。最后他给了我9185枚硬币。”
“9,185 coins is quite a lot. Is it a hidden scenario? Or maybe something meaningful…”
“9185枚硬币相当多。这是一个隐藏的场景吗?或者是一些有意义的东西......”
I thought this was my only opportunity.
我以为这是我唯一的机会。
[The ‘Ugly Squid’ has sponsored 7,942 coins to the incarnation ‘Lee Jihye’.]
[“丑鱿鱼”已经为化身为“李智慧”的人发行了7942枚硬币。]
Lee Gilyoung looked shocked at my coins baptism.
李吉英看着我的硬币洗礼,显得很震惊。
“7,942? Perhaps…”
“7942?也许......”
The children’s eyes were shaking. I watched the clear eyes and was deeply moved. Yes, that’s it children. It’s me. Kim Dokja.
孩子们的眼睛在发抖。我看着那双清澈的眼睛,深深地被感动了。对,就是这样,孩子们。是我。KimDokja.
[The constellation ‘Maritime War God’ doubts your identity.] [Some constellations on the Korean Peninsula are curious about your identity.]
[“海战之神”星座怀疑你的身份][朝鲜半岛上的一些星座对你的身份感到好奇]
Then an unexpected constellation entered the channel.
然后一个意想不到的星座进入了频道。
[The constellation ‘God of Wine and Ecstasy’ has entered the channel.] [The constellation ‘God of Wine and Ecstasy’ has noticed your identity!]
[“酒神和摇头丸”星座已进入通道。][酒神和摇头丸星座已经注意到你的身份了!]
God of Wine and Ecstasy, Dionysus. Speaking of which, it was Dionysus who told me about this ‘7942’. I thought things might work out better than I expected. If it was this constellation, he might decipher the message I sent to the children.
酒神与狂喜,狄俄尼索斯。说到这个,是狄俄尼索斯告诉我这个7942。我以为事情会比我预想的要好。如果是这个星座,他可能会破译我发给孩子们的信息。
[The constellation ‘God of Wine and Ecstasy’ claimed the number ’91’ to be a type of numerical play!]
[“酒神和摇头丸”星座声称数字“91”是一种数字游戏!]
My heart was pounding. Dionysus’ guess was right. The number, which was read as ‘ninety-one’, was my code to the children.
我的心怦怦直跳。狄俄尼索斯的猜测是正确的。这个数字被解读为“91”,是我给孩子们的密码。
9 (Gu) 1 (One). Guwon (Salvation).
9(古)1(一).古原(救恩)。
Fortunately, Dionysus seemed to understand what I was saying. Now Dionysus just needed to tell them that I was the Demon King of Salvation… [The constellation ‘God of Wine and Ecstasy’ says the squid must be an intelligent squid.]
幸运的是,狄俄尼索斯似乎明白我在说什么。现在狄俄尼索斯只需要告诉他们,我是救世主魔王...[《酒神与狂喜》星座说,乌贼一定是一只聪明的乌贼]
I looked up at the sky. Lee Gilyoung cried out happily. “It is a hidden piece. Will it give coins every time a tentacle is cut?”
我抬头仰望天空。李吉英高兴地叫了起来。“这是一个隐藏的部分。每次触手被切割时,它都会给硬币吗?”
[The constellation ‘God of Wine and Ecstasy’ is nodding.]
[“酒神和狂喜神”在点头。]
Once this scenario was over, I would smash Olympus.
一旦这种情况结束,我会粉碎奥林巴斯。
Lee Jihye cried out, “I will catch it. Hey Gilyoung, you take half!”
李吉赫喊道:“我会抓住它的。嘿,吉英,你拿一半!”
The tentacle that Lee Jihye ran along was my arm.
我的胳膊就是李智慧的触手。
“It’s really nimble. Noona, cut that big tentacle there first!”
“它真的很敏捷。努娜,先切断那个大触手!”
That was my leg.
那是我的腿。
“Ah, I’m annoyed. I’ll just cut it from the middle.”
“啊,我很生气。我就把它从中间剪掉吧。”
That… couldn’t happen. The moment I was about to liberate my ‘status,’ there was a dragon’s roar. The force caused the returnees to momentarily flinch.
那...不可能。在我准备释放自己的“地位”的那一刻,传来了一条龙的咆哮。这股力量使回来的人一时退缩。
I looked up at the sky and saw the black dragon covering it. There was a nostalgic face. Like Lee Jihye and Lee Gilyoung… this child had grown a lot.
我抬头望着天空,看到一条黑色的龙覆盖着它。有一张怀旧的面孔。就像LeeJihye和LeeGilyoung一样,这个孩子已经长大了很多。
“You’re always late, Shin Yoosung! Don’t rush around on your own!”
“你总是迟到,申友成!不要一个人到处乱跑!”
Only the plump cheeks proved that this girl was the child I remembered. Shin Yoosung on the chimera dragon landed on the ground. Shin Yoosung glanced to this side and asked Lee Jihye, “You haven’t finished it yet? I told you not to take too long.”
只有丰满的脸颊证明了这个女孩就是我记忆中的那个孩子。申永成就奇美拉龙降落在地上。申永成朝这边看了一眼,问李智慧:“你还没看完吗?”?我告诉过你不要花太长时间。”
“I’m trying but it is a strange disaster.”
“我正在努力,但这是一场奇怪的灾难。”
“Strange?”
“奇怪?”
“That squid over there.”
“那边那只乌贼。”
Shin Yoosung stared at me.
申永成盯着我。
“It keeps giving me coins. I feel bad…”
“它一直给我硬币,我感觉很糟......”
Shin Yoosung kept watching me.
申永成一直看着我。
[The constellation ‘Demon King of Salvation’ is looking at his incarnation.]
[星座‘救世魔王’正在观察他的化身。]
I slowly went up to her.
我慢慢地走向她。
“Shit! Don’t approach suddenly!” Despite Lee Jihye’s threat, I kept moving forward. I couldn’t help moving forward.
“妈的!不要突然靠近!”尽管李智慧发出了威胁,我还是继续前进。我情不自禁地向前走。
“The Beast Master has come!”
“野兽大师来了!”
“Okay, we can kill them now!”
“好吧,我们现在就可以杀了他们!”
The emergence of Shin Yoosung caused the incarnations who fled to the periphery of the shore to ran back across the white sands. There were the sounds of weapons colliding all over the place. The courageous incarnations were aiming blades towards me and the returnees.
新Yoosung的出现使得逃到海岸边缘的化身穿过白色的沙滩跑了回来。到处都是武器碰撞的声音。这些勇敢的化身正把刀刃对准我和回归者。
In fact, a real hidden piece was concealed in the 45th scenario. If our group could clear the scenario without having a single victim…
事实上,一个真正的隐藏部分隐藏在第45个场景中。如果我们的小组能够在没有一个受害者的情况下解决这个问题..。
Flying Fox shouted as he was pushed back with the returnees. “Brother! We can’t hold out long! I don’t know what you’re trying to do but do it quickly!”
飞狐在和返回者一起被击退的时候喊道。“兄弟!我们坚持不了多久!我不知道你想干什么,但是动作要快!”
Human beings were people who didn’t even trust fellow humans. Then how could they be friends with a disaster?
人类是那些甚至不相信人类同胞的人,那么他们怎么能和灾难成为朋友呢?
“Die tentacled monsters!”
“触手怪死了!”
A race that tried to dominate what was similar to them while excluding what was different from them. My appearance was reflected in their eyes. I was just a tentacled monster to them.
一个种族试图支配与他们相似的东西,同时排除与他们不同的东西。我的外表反映在他们的眼睛里。对他们来说,我只是一个有触手的怪物。
「’Maybe there is another way.’ 」
“也许还有别的出路”
Yoo Jonghyuk in the original novel took this ‘returnee route’ several times. However, Yoo Jonghyuk had never once accomplished this hidden piece. To be precise, he couldn’t accomplish it.
柳钟玉在原著中多次选择了这条“海归之路”。然而,柳永玉从未完成过这件隐藏的作品。准确地说,他不能完成这件事。
「 ‘Even if it is a bit hard, if I had been able to find another way…’ 」
“‘即使有点困难,如果我能找到另一条路...’”
Everyone who took the ‘returnee path’ walked the road of regret. Thus, I knew his failure. All the ways I could fail were the roads he had already walked.
每一个选择“回归之路”的人都走上了后悔的道路。因此,我知道他的失败。所有我可能失败的路都是他已经走过的路。
Now Yoo Jonghyuk left for a road that didn’t exist in the original. It was a world where the possibility of countless failures was open again.
现在柳永玉离开了,去了一条原本不存在的路。这是一个再次出现无数次失败的可能性的世界。
[The ‘Fourth Wall’ is shimmering faintly.]
(《第四道墙》在微微地闪烁着。)
Thus, I couldn’t lose either.
因此,我也不能失去。
[The constellation ‘Maritime War God’ is looking at you closely.] [The constellation ‘Bald General of Justice’ is looking at you closely.] [The constellation ‘God of Wine and Ecstasy’ is looking at you carefully.] “What are you doing all of a sudden?”
[“海战之神”星座正在近距离地看着你。][光头将军正在密切注视着你。][酒神和摇头丸的星座正在仔细地看着你。]“你突然在干什么?”
“Jihye noona, be careful!”
“智慧诺娜,小心!”
Lee Jihye’s blade flew towards me as I moved forward. I didn’t avoid it this time.
当我向前走的时候,李继惠的剑向我飞来,这次我没有躲开它。
Blood from my unprotected skin flowed onto my coat.
血从我未受保护的皮肤上流到我的外套上。
She didn’t know I wouldn’t avoid it and the startled Lee Jihye’s eyes widened. The other incarnations rushed through the gap towards me. In a moment, my surroundings were filled with the weapons of the incarnations. The number of tears on my coat started to increase. I took some attacks, blocked some attacks and kept moving forward.
她不知道我不会避开它,李智慧惊呆了,眼睛瞪得大大的。其他的化身冲过缝隙向我冲来。不一会儿,我的周围充满了化身的武器。我大衣上的眼泪开始越来越多。我接受了一些攻击,阻止了一些攻击,并继续前进。
There was a girl at the end of the road. The child who was my first incarnation. There was Shin Yoosung who was supposed to be a ‘disaster’ like me. The child was watching me.
在路的尽头有一个女孩。那个孩子是我的第一次化身。还有ShinYoosung,他被认为是一个像我一样的灾难。那孩子在看着我。
I went through the road and approached the child. One step, another step. I walked at a steady pace to not frighten the child. I didn’t care if my blood was splattered or my flesh was torn. I didn’t release any status to raise her vigilance or take out a weapon to pose a threat.
我穿过马路走近那个孩子。一步,一步。我走得很稳,以免吓着孩子。我不在乎我的血溅得到处都是或者我的肉体被撕裂了。我没有发布任何状态,以提高她的警惕或拿出武器构成威胁。
The child’s face was right in front of my nose. If the destruction hadn’t happened, she would be at an age to enter middle school. The child grew up this way but I had been away from her for too long. A sharp sensation pierced my chest and I dropped my head.
