Guardian of the Mandala was a mysterious constellation. Unlike other constellations, he rarely showed up in a channel. Even if he entered, he rarely sent a message. He chose an incarnation and gave the 'reincarnation' attribute to the incarnation.
曼荼罗的守护者是一个神秘的星座。与其他星座不同的是，他很少出现在频道中。即使他进来了，他也很少发信息。他选择了一个化身，并赋予化身‘转世’的属性。
Nirvana in front of me was one of those reincarnators.
在我面前的涅磐是那些转世者中的一个。
「 (You don't know how terrible reincarnation is. No more reincarnators should be made.) 」 "That isn't a matter for you to decide."
你不知道轮回有多可怕。不能再投胎转世了。)」“这不是你能决定的。”
At the same time, I glanced at Yoo Sangah. She hadn't grasped the situation yet and her eyes were blank. Maybe she was examining the context of the conversation in her head.
与此同时，我瞥了刘尚雅一眼。她还没有把握住形势，眼睛里一片茫然。也许她正在脑海中审视这段对话的背景。
「 (…Doesn't this woman already have a sponsor?) 」 "Not anymore. I asked Dionysus to cut off the connection during Gigantomachia."
“这位女士不是已经有赞助商了吗?”“不再是了。我要求狄俄尼索斯在《巨大的痛苦》中切断连接。”
「 (Is Olympus that passive? How did you pay for the huge probability?) 」
“(奥林巴斯就是这么被动吗?这么大的可能性你是怎么买单的?)”
I shrugged. I couldn't afford to elaborate on the details of the deal I made with Dionysus. "Read it through the wall later. You will read about everything I do anyway. Before that, answer my question. Where is your sponsor now?"
我耸了耸肩。我无法详细说明我与狄俄尼索斯交易的细节。“过一会儿再从墙上看吧。无论如何，你会读到我所做的一切。在此之前，回答我的问题。你的担保人现在在哪里?”
「 (I was absorbed by the wall and my ties with him broken. I don't know where he is now. Just…) 」
「(我被墙吸住了，与他的关系也断了。我不知道他现在在哪里。只是...)」
Nirvana looked at me and continued,
涅槃看着我，继续说道,
「 (I think you might've suspected it already?) 」
“(我想你可能已经怀疑了?)”
In fact, it was true. My question to Nirvana was only to change my guess to conviction.
事实上，这是真的。我对涅磐的问题只是改变我的猜测到信念。
"Yoo Sangah-ssi. Don't worry. These guys, they're not as bad as they look―"
“YooSangah-ssi。别担心。这些家伙，他们并不像他们看起来那么坏——”
I couldn't finish my words. There was a feeling of my space shrinking as my body was ejected from the library. The surprised Yoo Sangah reached out to me but my body was already scattering into sparks.
我说不完话。当我的身体被逐出图书馆时，我有一种空间缩小的感觉。惊讶的刘尚雅向我伸出了手，但是我的身体已经散落成火花。
「 Cheek y Kim Dok ja. 」
“面颊与金道子”
Those were the last words I heard.
这是我听到的最后一句话。

「 "…Dokja-ssi still isn't awake?" 」
“......Dokja-ssi还没醒?”
「 "Yes." 」
“是的”
「 "It has been three days already…" 」
“已经三天了...”
I slowly woke up and could hear distant voices. Uncomfortable sensations that couldn't be expressed well pushed at me all at once. What should I say? It felt like I was being tortured with electricity.
我慢慢地醒来，能听到远处的声音。不舒服的感觉，不能很好地表达推向我所有在一次。我该说什么？我感觉就像被电击了一样。
「 "The electric eel doesn't work… what the hell is this?" 」 「 "What about Sangah unni? Her body suddenly disappeared…" 」
“电鳗不工作...这是什么鬼东西?”“桑加·乌尼怎么样?”？她的尸体突然消失了...”
Thanks to the faint voices, I roughly guessed what was going to happen.
多亏了那些微弱的声音，我大致猜到了将要发生什么。
…Dammit, I had been unconscious for three days. My consciousness returned but my body didn't move at all.
该死的，我已经昏迷三天了，我的意识恢复了，但是我的身体一动不动。
[Your actions in preventing the death of your colleague have been caught in a probability plausibility screening.] [You are currently suffering from the aftermath of the probability storm.] [For a total of five days, almost all your actions will be constrained.] [Remaining constraints period: 2 days 3 hours 31 minutes.]
[你为了避免同事死亡而采取的行动，被发现有可能存在合理性筛选。][你目前正在遭受可能性风暴的后果。](总共五天，你几乎所有的行动都会受到限制。)[剩余限制时间:2天3小时31分钟]
I tried to avoid it but I was caught in a probability storm. It was a miracle that it stopped at this degree of damage.
我试图避开它，但可能遇到了暴风雨。它在这种程度的破坏下停下来，真是个奇迹。
[A message has arrived to you through the 'Dokkaebi Communication.']
[一条信息已经通过“Dokkaebi沟通”传达给你。]
The message came from Bihyung.
消息来自Bihyung。
-Kim Dokja, you crazy guy.
KimDokja你这个疯子。
-Do you want to be eaten by Indescribable Distance again?
-你想再次被无法描述的距离吃掉吗？
-If I hadn't put on the brakes in advance, a disaster would've come to Earth. You keep getting lucky. Don't you know what probability is?
如果我没有提前刹车灾难就会降临地球。你一直很幸运。你不知道什么是可能性吗？
The messages from Bihyung continued for some time. In order to reach the end of the scenario, it was necessary to accumulate the probability well and not be hated by the Star Stream. Since when did this person have such a nagging personality?
来自Bihyung的消息持续了一段时间。为了达到最后的情节，必须积累的概率很好，不被讨厌的星流。这个人什么时候变得这么唠叨了？
-At any rate, I let it pass this time but be careful next time. The will of the Star Stream is paying great attention to this incident.
无论如何，这次我让它过去了，但下次要小心。星流意志对这一事件给予了极大的关注。
I didn't know that forcibly breaking some of the Fourth Wall and sending Yoo Sangah in would bring about such backlash. It would be absurd from the viewpoint of the constellations. It might feel like the actor on stage had disappeared.
我不知道强行拆除第四道墙并把YooSangah送进去会引起这样的强烈反应。从星座的角度来看，这是荒谬的。感觉就像舞台上的演员消失了一样。
[The Fourth Wall is currently repairing itself.]
[第四道长城正在自我修复。]
[A considerable number of constellations are questioning the probability of your actions.] [Many constellations are sad because they can't peek at your identity.] [Several constellations noticed that you have a fragment of the Last Wall.]
[相当多的星座质疑你行动的可能性。]许多星座都很悲伤，因为它们不能窥视你的身份[几个星座注意到你有最后一堵墙的碎片]
The Fourth Wall responded quickly and the damage was minimized. My feet might be tied for a few days but I saved my mother and Yoo Sangah, so it was a cheap price.
第四道围墙迅速作出反应，把损失减少到最低限度。我的脚可能会被捆绑几天，但我救了我的母亲和刘尚雅，所以这是一个便宜的价格。
Of course, in Yoo Sangah's case, it was a temporary measure and I couldn't leave it alone. In order to revive Yoo Sangah, I had to meet the constellation who was the king of reincarnators and the first reincarnation.
当然，对于YooSangah来说，这只是一个临时措施，我不能置之不理。为了让刘尚雅复活，我必须遇到星座中的转世之王和第一个转世。
It was a little early but it wasn't too early. From Demon World's Spring to Torch That Swallowed the Myth. I had achieved the 'initial' and 'success' portion of A Single Story.
虽然有点早，但也不算太早。从魔鬼世界的春天到吞噬神话的火把。我已经完成了《单身故事》中最初的和成功的部分。
Thanks to the emergence of me and Kim Dokja's Company, the development of the overall scenarios accelerated and there would be the emergence of materials that should've appeared long after in the original novel.
多亏了我和KimDokja’sCompany的出现，整个剧情的发展加速，出现了一些早该出现在原著中的素材。
There were many candidates to get the giant story that would fulfil the 'turn' section. For example, there was Ragnarok of Asgard and some giant stories from the Emperor nebula. Unlike the previous two sections, the 'turn' should be the climax of A Single Story. It was a scenario of a different scale based on the stories that had been told so far. Without such a stage, I couldn't reach the desired result.
有很多候选人想要得到这个巨大的故事来完成“转弯”部分。例如，有仙宫的仙境传说和一些来自皇帝星云的巨大故事。与前两部分不同的是，这个转折点应该是《单身故事》的高潮部分。这是一个不同规模的场景，基于迄今为止所讲述的故事。没有这样一个阶段，我就不能达到预期的结果。
Perhaps using the third giant story as a springboard, the island where the first reincarnator stayed might be a good stage. In any case, I didn't know when it would happen.
也许把第三个巨人的故事作为跳板，第一个转世化身所在的小岛可能是一个很好的舞台。不管怎么说，我不知道什么时候会发生。
Three days had passed but I still had two more days… I wasn't sure how to spend this boring time. If I sacrificed some of the giant stories, I might be able to get rid of the aftermath, but it wasn't good to sacrifice my barely collected stories here.
三天过去了，但我还有两天多的时间......我不知道如何度过这段无聊的时光。如果我牺牲掉一些巨大的故事，我也许可以摆脱这些后果，但是牺牲掉我那些勉强收集的故事是不好的。
…If only I could read Ways of Survival.
要是我能读懂《生存之道》就好了。
「 Kim Dok ja. 」
“金道子”
'Fourth Wall?'
第四道墙
「 Wi ll y ou con tinue do ing it your own way? 」
“你会用自己的方式做吗?”
Somehow, the voice felt childish. I wanted an opportunity and quickly answered. 'I won't do it again.'
不知怎么的，那声音听起来有些孩子气。我想要一个机会，很快就回答说:“我不会再这样做了。”
「 Li ar. 」
“李”
There was deep-rooted distrust in the words. I felt a bit sorry because this was the first time I saw the wall expressing its feelings.
言语中有根深蒂固的不信任感。我感到有点遗憾，因为这是我第一次看到墙壁表达它的感情。
'Believe me, I really won't do it.'
相信我，我真的不会这么做的
「 Bah. 」
“呸”
'…What happened to Yoo Sangah-ssi? Is she doing well?'
“柳善雅-西怎么了?她还好吗?”
No matter how intelligent and adaptable Yoo Sangah was, the existences in the library were far beyond most humans. One was an outer god, one was a creation of the constellations and the last one was a reincarnator. In addition, the owner of the library, the Fourth Wall was an unknown existence.
不管YooSangah是多么聪明和适应能力强，图书馆里的存在远远超出了大多数人类。一个是外神，一个是星座的产物，最后一个是转世。此外，图书馆的所有者，第四道墙是一个未知的存在。
'Please don't be too hard on Yoo Sangah-ssi. She is a good person.' 「 That de pends on Yoo Sang ah. 」
“请不要对柳善雅太苛刻。她是个好人。”“刘尚雅的写字笔”
For now, I was forced to believe in Yoo Sangah. She might not have the 'Ways of Survival' cheat like me but she was someone who survived this far. Thus, I was sure she would do well in the library.
现在，我不得不相信刘尚雅。她可能不像我一样有“生存之道”的骗术，但她是一个能活到现在的人。因此，我确信她在图书馆里会做得很好。
'There is one thing I'd like to ask you.'
“我想问你一件事。”
「 N o. 」
“ n o”
'Just listen to me.'
听我说
「 N o. 」
“ n o”
'…We used to be pretty friendly. Think about when we just arrived in the Demon World. At that time, we talked to each other a lot.' 「 It wa s on ly that ti me. 」
我们曾经很友好。想想我们刚到达恶魔世界的时候。当时，我们经常聊天。”“只有那一刻才是”
'You can talk a lot in the future.'
以后你可以说很多话
「 Kim Dok ja does not ca re a bout what I say. 」
“金道子不能反驳我的话”
I felt the hidden meaning and was lost for words. Come to think of it, the Fourth Wall always talked to me. There was the style it borrowed from Ways of Survival and even the Fourth Wall's peculiar way of talking. Still, it was true that I didn't respond properly to it.
我感觉到了其中隐藏的意义，无言以对。想想看，第四面墙总是跟我说话。它借用了《生存之道》的风格，甚至还有第四面墙特有的说话方式。尽管如此，我确实没有正确地回应它。
「 Th at dokkae bi who can't talk is be tter than Kim Dok ja. 」
“不能说话的多卡比比金道子多”
'Are you talking about Biyoo?'
你是在说碧柳吗
The Fourth Wall didn't answer. It was a bit of a confusing situation for me.
第四堵墙没有回答，这让我有点困惑。
'You…'
你..
This guy also felt lonely. Did it feel joy, sorrow or pain? I never thought about it this way before and suddenly felt strange.
这个家伙也感到孤独。它是否感到快乐、悲伤或痛苦？我以前从来没有这样想过，突然感到很奇怪。
'…In the future, I will talk to you more often. I'm sorry.'
“以后我会经常和你说话的，对不起。”
「 Bah. 」
“呸”
'Calm down. I promise.'
冷静点，我保证
「 Real ly? 」
“真实地?”
'Really.'
“真的。”
The Fourth Wall thought of something and said.「 But Kim Dok ja isn't e nough. 」
第四堵墙想了想，说:“但金道子还不够格。”
'What?'
什么
「 Gi ve me a frien d. 」
“给我一个朋友d”
What did this mean? A friend, how to give the wall a friend…
这是什么意思?一个朋友，如何给墙一个朋友..。
I thought about it and something suddenly flashed through my mind.
我想了想，脑子里突然闪过一个念头。
…Don't tell me? As if to prove my feelings, the Fourth Wall opened its mouth.
...不要告诉我?好像是为了证明我的感情，第四堵墙张开了它的嘴。
「 Kim Dok ja should ga ther the la st wall. 」
“金道子应该在第一堵墙上”

'I have to gather more stories.'
我必须收集更多的故事
Yoo Jonghyuk stared at the sky, obsessively thinking about it while munching on a lemon candy. He didn't like candy but there was no substitute for it right now. It would be nice if there was dumplings but… now wasn't the time to enjoy that type of taste.
柳永玉盯着天空，一边嚼着柠檬糖果，一边痴迷地想着它。他不喜欢糖果，但现在没有什么能代替它了。如果有饺子就好了，但是......现在不是享受那种味道的时候。
'…No, the speed at which I gathered the stories is already fast enough. The important thing is to train the stories themselves.'
”“不，我收集这些故事的速度已经够快了。重要的是要训练故事本身。”
Maybe it was time to go to 'that island' now. The island that Kyrgios and his teacher had visited. Yoo Jonghyuk clenched his fists as he envisioned future plans.
也许现在是时候去‘那个岛’了。基尔乔斯和他的老师去过的那个小岛。柳钟玉握紧拳头，设想着未来的计划。
[Your sponsor is dissatisfied with your recent progress.
你的担保人对你最近的进步不满意。
He suddenly felt his sponsor's gaze. Recently, his sponsor had been expressing feelings more often. A sponsor who had been only nonexistent in the last three regressions.
他突然感觉到赞助商的目光。最近，他的赞助商更经常地表达自己的感受。一个在过去三次回归中根本不存在的赞助商。
Yoo Jonghyuk asked with a frown. "What is there to complain about?"
柳永玉皱着眉头问道:“有什么好抱怨的?”
[Your sponsor wants you to take proactive actions.]
[你的担保人希望你采取积极主动的行动。]
The words touched something deep in Yoo Jonghyuk's mind. Certainly, his life had changed a lot since the last round. Needless to say, it was since he met Kim Dokja.
这些话触动了柳永玉内心深处的某些东西。当然，自从上一轮比赛以来，他的生活发生了很大的变化。不用说，这是自从他遇见了金多克贾。
'…I don't know who he is.'
“我不知道他是谁。”
He founded a nebula with a man whose identity was unknown.
他和一个身份不明的人创建了一个星云。
'Kim Dokja isn't a prophet.'
“KimDokja不是先知。”
Yoo Jonghyuk was immersed in his thoughts, as if solving the homework he had put off.
柳永玉沉浸在自己的思绪中，好像在解决他推迟的家庭作业。
'Yet he knows information about the future.'
但他知道未来的信息
The more he thought about it, the stranger things were. Why wasn't this person in the last round? He had an idea originally but now he wasn't convinced. That calm and meticulous guy didn't even pass the first scenario in the last round? The doubts started to multiply and overflow.
他越想越觉得奇怪。为什么这个人没有进入最后一轮？他本来有个主意，但现在不被说服了。那个冷静而一丝不苟的家伙甚至没有通过最后一轮的第一个方案？疑虑开始成倍增加，不断扩大。
[An unknown power is putting a stop to your imagination.]
[一种未知的力量阻止了你的想象]
There was some dizziness and Yoo Jonghyuk frowned.
有点头晕，柳荣玉皱起了眉头。
'…Again.'
“......再一次。”
Yoo Jonghyuk didn't know why but his head hurt whenever he thought about Kim Dokja. In particular, whenever he wondered about Kim Dokja's identity.
柳永玉不知道为什么，但是每当他想到金东子时，他的头就会痛。特别是，每当他想知道金独子的身份时。
"Yoo Jonghyuk, what are you doing?"
“柳永玉，你在干什么?”
He looked back and saw Han Sooyoung with a lemon candy in her mouth.
他回头一看，只见韩素英嘴里叼着一颗柠檬糖。
Yoo Jonghyuk asked, "Kim Dokja still isn't awake?"
柳永玉问:“金道佳还没醒?”
"Not yet."
“还没有。”
"He is a lazy bastard."
“他是个懒惰的混蛋。”
"…It is due to the aftermath of the probability storm so I wouldn't call him lazy. It is strange that it hasn't happened until now."
