The texture of the hand was like a feather on my head. Something hard deep inside my heart crumpled. Perhaps she recognized me.
那只手的纹理就像我头上的一根羽毛。我内心深处坚硬的东西皱了起来。也许她认出了我。
She looked up and Shin Yoosung’s clear eyes could be seen. “…Ahjussi?”
她抬起头，可以看到申佑成那双清澈的眼睛:“......大叔?”

After a while, I was flying in the air on the chimera dragon. To be exact, it wasn’t just me but the other returnees who had a similar appearance. Four on the legs, two on the wings, three on the tail and… me. A total of 10 returnees rode the dragon and flew to Seoul.
过了一会儿，我就骑着奇美拉飞上了天空。确切地说，不仅仅是我，其他海归也有类似的外表。四个在腿上，两个在翅膀上，三个在尾巴上，还有...我。共有10名海归乘坐这条龙飞往首尔。
I spoke to encourage the returnees who had motion sickness. “Seoul is a little bit further. Have strength, everybody.”
我对那些晕车的归国人员说:“首尔再远一点，大家都要有力气。”
“Ugh, I could’ve run faster…” Flying Fox grumbled.
“啊，我本来可以跑得更快的......”飞狐抱怨道。
“It’s safer to go by air. There might be unknown risks.”
“乘飞机比较安全，可能存在未知的风险。”
“Well… I guess if Brother is saying this. By the way, is that Brother’s child?”
“嗯......我想如果大哥这么说的话。顺便问一下，那是大哥的孩子吗?”
He seemed to be asking about Shin Yoosung and I nodded. “Yes, well… it is similar.”
他似乎在问关于ShinYoosung的事情，我点点头:“是的，嗯......差不多。”
She was my incarnation and it was true that she was special like my child.
她是我的化身，她确实像我的孩子一样特别。
“…Huh, you must’ve had a hard time at a young age. What about your wife?”
“嗯，你年轻的时候一定过得很艰难。你妻子呢?”
I wasn’t married in the first place. Somehow, he understood my silence and Flying Fox looked at me with sympathetic eyes. I turned my head and other returnees had a similar expression.
我根本就没结婚。不知怎么的，他明白了我的沉默，飞狐用同情的眼神看着我。我转过头，其他归国人员也有同样的表情。
“Tsk tsk, too bad…”
“啧啧，太糟糕了......”
“Well, let’s do out best now. After this scenario, we can meet our families.”
“好吧，让我们现在做最好的。在这种情况下，我们可以满足我们的家庭。”
“Brother! Have strength!”
“兄弟!要有力气!”
These sentiments were best directed for the returnees who had family or lovers. In any case, things were going better than I expected. Rather… “What are you so nervous about? Can’t you listen quietly?”
这些情绪最适合那些有家人或情人的回归者。无论如何，事情比我预想的要好。而是......“你在紧张什么？你就不能安静地听着吗?”
At Lee Jihye’s words, the returnees all shut their mouths. As if she still couldn’t believe it, Lee Jihye glanced at me and told Shin Yoosung, “It will be your fault if things go wrong. Don’t you know?”
听到李继惠的话，归国人员都闭上了嘴。似乎她还是不能相信，LeeJihye瞥了我一眼，告诉ShinYoosung，“如果事情出了差错，那就是你的错。你不知道吗?”
Shin Yoosung nodded.
申永成点点头。
A few dozen minutes ago, Shin Yoosung had declared to Lee Jihye and Lee Gilyoung. “I think the squid is Dokja ahjussi.”
几十分钟前，申永成向李智慧和李吉英宣布。“我认为鱿鱼就是Dokjaahjussi。”
Lee Jihye, who cut my hair, had a wide open mouth while Lee Gilyoung, who wanted to cut my leg, stiffened. Needless to say, the reactions of the two people seemed the same.
给我剪头发的李吉海(LeeJihye)张着大嘴，想给我剪腿的李吉杨(LeeGilyoung)僵住了。不用说，两个人的反应看起来是一样的。
“…This is Dokja ahjussi?”
“......这就是大叔?”
“Hyung can’t be a squid, you idiot!”
“阿英不可能是乌贼，你这个白痴!”
Shin Yoosung cried out, “Really! It is really Dokja ahjussi!”
申佑成喊道:“真的!真的是大叔!”
We had been flying for dozens of minutes but the argument was still continuing.
我们已经飞了几十分钟了，但是争论还在继续。
“You are sick again… Gilyoung, how many times is it now?”
“你又病了......吉尔杨，现在多少次了?”
“Five to six times.”
“五到六次。”
A breeze blew against our faces. Shin Yoosung sat beside me and sighed like she was upset.
一阵微风吹过我们的脸庞，申友成坐在我旁边，叹了口气，好像很难过。
“Ahjussi…”
“大叔...”
[The demon king ‘Demon King of Salvation’ is proving his existence.] [The indirect message is distorted by the scenario penalty.]
[恶魔之王‘救赎之魔王’正在证明他的存在][间接的信息被情节的惩罚扭曲了]
[The Ugly Squid is waving his own suckers.]
[丑陋的乌贼挥舞着他自己的吸盘]
Shin Yoosung nodded and exclaimed triumphantly. “Look! It really is Ahjussi!”
申佑成点点头，得意洋洋地叫道:“看，真的是大叔!”
Thank you. I was grateful but I didn’t know why it was so complicated.
谢谢。我很感激，但我不知道为什么会这么复杂。
Lee Jihye sighed, “What will you do if he isn’t Dokja ahjussi?”
李智慧叹了口气，“如果他不是大叔，你会怎么办?”
“That…”
“那个......”
“Bringing all these disasters to Seoul, what if something goes wrong?”
“把所有这些灾难带到首尔，如果出了什么差错怎么办?”
“Even if it isn’t Dokja ahjussi…”
“即使不是Dokjaahjussi......”
Shin Yoosung bit her lip before saying. “Sangah unni told me. There might be disasters who aren’t enemies.”
申永成咬着嘴唇说道:“桑格昂尼告诉我，也许有些不是敌人的灾难。”
“…There has never been a case so far.”
“到目前为止还没有案子。”
“This might be the first time.”
“这可能是第一次。”
Fortunately, Yoo Sangah had communicated my words to the party members. In the 45th scenarios, returnees turned into disasters and some of them weren’t enemies.
幸运的是，YooSangah把我的话传达给了党员。在第45个场景中，归国人员变成了灾难，他们中的一些人并不是敌人。
“The level of Sangah unni’s Interpreter skill is high. Maybe we can communicate this time. We have to try, even if things go wrong.”
“桑加乌尼的翻译水平很高。也许这次我们可以交流一下。我们必须尝试，即使出现问题。”
Little by little, hope emerged. In any case, I just needed to get to Seoul. There was a moment of silence between the party members. For a while, there was only the sound of wind blowing. I spoke to Shin Yoosung.
渐渐地，希望出现了。无论如何，我只需要去首尔。党员们默哀了一会儿。有一阵子，只有风吹的声音。我和ShinYoosung谈过了。
‘Yoosung.’
“ Yoosung。”
[Your language is distorted by the scenario penalty.]
[你的语言被情节处罚扭曲了。]
[The Ugly Squid is attracting attention.]
[丑鱿鱼引起了人们的注意。]
Shin Yoosung stared at me. “Yes, Ajusshi.”
申耀成盯着我说:“是的，阿吉什。”
‘You don’t have to convince people that I’m Kim Dokja.’
你不需要让人们相信我就是KimDokja
[Your language is distorted by the scenario penalty.]
[你的语言被情节处罚扭曲了。]
[The Ugly Squid is waving his ten legs.]
[丑陋的乌贼正在挥动他的十条腿]
“Huh? Ahjussi…”
“啊?大叔...”
I didn’t answer. I didn’t have the confidence to answer correctly.
我没有回答，我没有信心正确地回答。
[The Ugly Squid has a gloomy expression.]
[丑鱿鱼有一种忧郁的表情]
I silently stared at Lee Jihye.
我静静地盯着李智慧。
「 It is a lie. It isn’t possible. 」
“这是谎言，不可能”
Lee Jihye’s thoughts entered my head. From the moment I met the party members, I activated Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint.
李智慧的想法进入了我的脑海，从我见到党员的那一刻起，我就激活了无所不知的读者视角。
「 Dokja ahjussi… 」
“ Dokja ahjussi... ”
Some emotions weren’t conveyed through language. There were fragmented sentences and broken off words. Sometimes they couldn’t be left that way because I couldn’t look properly.
有些情感不是通过语言表达的。有零散的句子和断开的单词。有时候他们不能就这样离开，因为我看不清楚。
My presence is an indelible wound on them. The sense of helplessness caused by their companion dying in front of them. The despair of nothing being able to do anything, only watch as someone sacrificed themselves.
我的存在给他们留下了不可磨灭的创伤。他们的同伴在他们面前死去而产生的无助感。无能为力的绝望，只能眼睁睁地看着别人牺牲自己。
A small keyring hanging from Lee Jihye’s sword shook. I knew the identity of this keyring. Lee Jihye had long been a scarred sword demon.
李智慧的剑上挂着一个小小的钥匙圈。我知道这个钥匙圈的身份。李智慧长期以来一直是一个刀伤剑魔。
Lee Jihye smiled as if trying to hide her feelings. “Hey, take a good look. This is the real Dokja ahjussi, right?”
李智慧微笑着，似乎在试图隐藏自己的感情。“嘿，好好看看。这才是真正的大叔，对吧?”
“…”
“ ... ”
Shin Yoosung didn’t answer. Maybe she was feeling my emotions as well. This was the relationship between a constellation and incarnation. We understood more than was spoken.
申永成没有回答。也许她也感受到了我的情绪。这就是星座和化身之间的关系。我们懂得的比说出来的多。
Lee Jihye laughed mischievously. “Hey, why aren’t you saying anything? Are you not confident?”
李智慧顽皮地笑了。“嘿，你为什么不说话?你不自信吗?”
“That isn’t it…”
“不是这样的......”
“I knew Shin Yoosung would do this again!”
“我就知道申永成还会这么做!”
Lee Gilyoung interrupted. “Noona, she did this before! She saw the frog and said that Dokja ahjussi must’ve come back―”
李·吉林打断了他。“诺娜，她以前做过这种事！她看见了青蛙，说大叔一定是回来了——”
“I’ll kill you…”
“我要杀了你......”
“Don’t you remember? We were almost killed because of you.”
“你不记得了吗?我们差点因你而死。”
Lee Jihye nodded. “…Certainly, that happened.”
李智慧点点头。“......当然，确实如此。”
“There is a collection at your house. Frog Kim Dokja, Tentacled Disaster Kim Dokja, Elephant Monster who Almost Became Kim Dokja…”
“你家里有一批收藏品。青蛙KimDokja，触手灾难KimDokja，差点变成KimDokja的大象怪物......”
“Die…”
“死......”
“By the way, can you give me Frog Kim Dokja?”
“顺便问一下，你能把金东子青蛙给我吗?”
“This is really…!”
“这真是......!”
The chimera dragon flapped its wings wildly and suddenly stopped in the air.
这只奇美拉巨龙疯狂地拍打着翅膀，突然停在了空中。
Lee Jihye screamed, “Waaah! What is this all of a sudden?”
李智慧尖叫道:“哇!这是怎么回事?”
A series of airships were blocking our way. It wasn’t just one or two. A coin flying boat that could only be purchased after the 40th scenario. The decks of the ships had ‘GG” written on the
一连串的飞艇挡住了我们的去路。不仅仅是一两个。一个硬币飞船，只能购买后的第40个方案。船的甲板上写着“GG”
…I think I knew their identity.
我想我知道他们的身份。
-Busan Alliance, why did you come here?
釜山联盟，你为什么来这里？
A high-pressure voice was heard from an airship. Memories of the original novel came to mind.
从飞艇上传来一阵高压的声音，脑海中浮现出对原著的回忆。
Lee Gilyoung grumbled, “Why can’t we come?”
李吉英抱怨道:“我们为什么不能来呢?”
In the original novel, after the 25th scenario, the Korean Peninsula was divided into several regional alliances such as the Busan Alliance, the Daegu Alliance, the Seoul Alliance…
在原著中，25世纪之后，朝鲜半岛被划分为釜山联盟、大邱联盟、首尔联盟等几个地区联盟。
Most of the alliances were centred around incarnations with powerful sponsors and if I remembered correctly, there was one such person in the Gyeonggi region.
大多数联盟都围绕着实力强大的赞助商展开，如果我没记错的话，Gyeonggi地区就有一个这样的人。
-Disasters can’t enter the Gyeonggi area. Leave the disasters behind right now.
-灾难不能进入Gyeonggi地区，现在就把灾难留在身后。
The Gyeonggi Alliance. It was called the Gyeonggi Alliance but most of the members weren’t from Gyeonggi. They were predators who only moved for the benefits of the group. They were one of Yoo Jonghyuk’s headaches in several rounds. It was because the head of the alliance was one of the 10 Evils.
京畿道联盟。它被称为GyeonggiAlliance，但大多数成员并非来自Gyeonggi。它们是掠食者，迁徙只是为了群体的利益。这是YooJonghyuk在几轮比赛中头痛的症状之一。这是因为联盟的领导人是十大恶魔之一。
-I will fire if you don’t leave in five seconds. Five.
-如果你5秒钟内不离开我就开枪-5秒。
The troubled Lee Jihye rose from her seat. “Ah, I can’t help fighting if you come out like this.”
忧心忡忡的李智慧从座位上站了起来。“啊，如果你这样出来，我就忍不住要打架了。”
In the original development, the present party members wouldn’t be able to deal with the Gyeonggi Alliance with an individual force. However, the third round was a lot different from the original.
在最初的发展过程中，现在的党员不能单独对付京畿道联盟。然而，第三轮与原来的有很大的不同。
This Lee Jihye didn’t survive because of luck. “I am the leader of the Busan Alliance, Lee Jihye.”
这个李智慧不是因为运气才活下来的，“我是釜山联盟的领袖，李智慧。”
Blue flames soared from Lee Jihye’s blade. I watched the spectacular wave of magic power and was truly amazed.
蓝色的火焰从李智慧的剑刃上腾起，我看着壮观的魔力波浪，真的很吃惊。
Jihye, you really tried.
Jihye，你真的尽力了。
It was an ether blade. Lee Jihye was able to implement a technique that only those in Murim could use.
这是一个乙醚刀片，LeeJihye能够实现一种只有Murim人才能使用的技术。
-Admiral! This isn’t the sea! At least in the sky, our Gyeonggi Alliance…!
-上将!这里不是大海!至少在空中，我们的GyeonggiAlliance...！
“That remains to be seen.”
“这还有待观察。”
Lee Jihye laughed and leapt forward with his blade pointed backwards. Suddenly, there was an explosion from the other side of the airships. The fleet was cut in half along with the soundwave. Lee Jihye stared at Lee Gilyoung like she was dumbfounded.
李继惠笑了，然后向前一跃，刀尖向后。突然，从飞艇的另一边传来一声爆炸。舰队随着声波被切成两半。李吉赫盯着李吉英，好像她目瞪口呆。
“Is that Titano? Why are you intervening?”
“那是泰坦尼克号吗?你们为什么要干预?”
“…My Titano is dead.”
“我的泰坦尼克号死了。”
The chimera dragon hadn’t moved yet so it wasn’t done by Shin Yoosung. Less than a minute later, all the alliance’s airships were blown up. There was a blazing inferno as someone jumped towards this side.
这只奇美拉龙还没有移动，所以它不是由申永成完成的。不到一分钟后，联盟的所有飞艇都被炸毁了。当有人朝这边跳过来的时候，火焰熊熊。
Lee Jihye raised her blade cautiously. Not long after, the wariness lightened. It was because the person was known. The thoughtful Shin Yoosung yelled at Lee Jihye, “JIhye unni! Did you tell
李继惠小心翼翼地举起她的刀刃。不久之后，警惕减轻了。这是因为这个人是知道的。心事重重的ShinYoosung对LeeJihye喊道:“Jihyeunni！你有没有告诉我
Heewon-ssi already?”
平原小姐已经来了吗?”
“That… I texted her a while ago. I just didn’t know if she would come this soon…” Lee Jihye smiled apologetically.
”那个...我之前给她发过短信。我只是不知道她会不会这么快就来......”LeeJihye抱歉地笑了笑。
“It is great that we’re gathering after a long time! That is either Dokja ahjussi or a squid party. Heewon unni―!”
“我们聚在一起很久了，真是太好了！那不是Dokjaahjussi就是鱿鱼派对。熙媛姐姐!”
I gazed at the welcome face that was approaching and my heart ached.
我凝视着那张迎接我的脸，我的心在痛。
-If you were going to do this anyway, why have you been preparing us for the past few days? Why give me these skills?
如果你无论如何都要这么做，为什么这几天你一直在为我们做准备？为什么给我这些技能？
-I told you how to deal with the Sasquatch in the 28th scenario.
我告诉过你怎么对付第28个场景中的大脚野人。
I could see it the moment I saw Jung Heewon. She kept everything I said. Then she became stronger than I expected.
我看到郑和元的那一刻就看出来了。她保留了我所说的一切。然后她变得比我想象的还要强壮。
-Shit! Don’t talk nonsense! I can’t let you go! Don’t go alone again! Please!
-妈的!别胡说!我不能让你走!别再一个人走了!求你了！
Jung Heewon dressed in a special suit emerged from the thick smoke and landed on the chimera dragon’s back. The Sword of Judgment emitted a light as it cried out wildly. Jung Heewon glanced at the squid before asking, “Who is Kim Dokja?”
郑和元穿着一套特殊的服装从浓烟中冒出来，落在奇美拉龙的背上。审判之剑发出了一道光，它疯狂地呼喊着。郑希元瞥了一眼鱿鱼，然后问道:“谁是金道佳?”
The frightened returnees held their breaths in unison. Shin Yoosung realized that something wasn’t right and quickly came forward.
受到惊吓的归国人员齐声屏住呼吸，申有成意识到事情不对劲，迅速站了出来。
“I-I don’t know who Ahjussi is just yet. I just got the feeling of Ahjussi…”
“我现在还不知道Ahjussi是谁，我只是有大叔的感觉......”
Jung Heewon laughed. “I see. Then you’re going to see Sangah-ssi?”
郑鹤元笑了起来，“我明白了，那么你是要去见桑加西了?”
“Yes, I wanted to go see Sangah unni and ask for her opinion…”
“是的，我想去看看桑迦奴尼，问问她的意见......”
“There is no need. I can tell if he is Kim Dokja or not.”
“没有必要。我可以告诉你，他是不是金独子。”
“Huh?”
“啊?”
[The character ‘Jung Heewon’ is preparing to activate Judgment Time!] “I’ll see soon. If he is the real Dokja-ssi, the squid will survive.” An almost crazy magic power nestled in Jung Heewon’s blade. “Or he will go to hell at my hands.”
[人物‘郑和元’正准备激活审判时间!]“我很快就会见到你的。如果他是真正的Dokja-ssi，鱿鱼就会存活下来。”一种近乎疯狂的魔法力量依偎在郑希元的剑刃上。“不然他就会在我手里下地狱。”
It was a horrifying will-o’-the-wisp. Shin Yoosung realized that something was wrong and shouted, “Ahjussi! Run!”
这是一个可怕的鬼火。申友成意识到有些不对劲，喊道:“大叔!快跑!”
The moment the chimera dragon howled, I jumped down from its back with the other returnees. There was a deafening collision as I used Way of the Wind and pulled the returnees one by one.
那只奇美拉巨龙嚎叫的那一刻，我和其他回来的人一起从它背上跳了下来。当我使用《风之路》的时候发生了震耳欲聋的碰撞，一个接一个的拉着回来的人。
