When he chose to go back for the second time, he began thinking that this life wouldn't be as easy as he thought.
当他选择第二次回去的时候，他开始思考这种生活不会像他想象的那么容易。
And, after witnessing his comrades die over and over again….
而且，在目睹了他的同志们一次又一次的死去之后..。
After losing the person he loved so much….
在失去了他深爱的人之后..。
….He finally realised that he was destined to experience the same pain many more times in the future. As the price for possessing more information than anyone else, he had to lose his precious comrades many more times.
...他终于意识到他注定要在未来经历更多次同样的痛苦。作为比任何人拥有更多信息的代价，他不得不失去他珍贵的同志更多次。
[You are a '3rd turn' Regressor.]
你是一个“第三圈”回归者
During his third try, he thought that maybe this was a curse.
在他第三次尝试的时候，他认为这可能是一个诅咒。
「Just how many more lives like this one am I supposed to go through?」
“我还要经历多少像这样的人生?”
He realised that, if he were to get to the end of all the scenarios, he needed to kill off his emotions, that he must not live his life. And so, he decided to become not 'Yu Joong-Hyeok', but the 'Regressor', instead.
他意识到，如果他要结束所有的情节，他需要消除自己的情绪，他不能过自己的生活。于是，他决定改名为“倒退者”，而不是“于重赫”。
The fourth time, fifth…. The timelines that he might've had experienced, but a certain someone's unexpected words stopped him from regressing again.
第四次，第五次..。他可能经历过的时间线，但某个人出乎意料的话语阻止了他再次倒退。
- Being able to regress at any time is the same as having no meaning in 'dying' anymore. However, there being no meaning in dying is the same thing as the value of living disappearing, too.
——能够在任何时候退化就等于不再有“死亡”的意义。然而，死亡本身没有意义，与生命价值的消失也是一回事。
- Yu Joong-Hyeok, you need to wake up. What I'm saying here is that, don't mistakenly believe that things will get better by repeating them over and over again.
-余重赫，你得醒醒。我在这里要说的是，不要错误地认为事情会通过一遍又一遍的重复而变得更好。
That was why Yu Joong-Hyeok chose not to regress. He gave up on several new 'lives' where he could've started off from a higher vantage point while possessing more useful information than before.
这就是为什么于重赫选择不退缩的原因。他放弃了几个新的生活，在那里他可以从一个更高的有利位置开始，同时拥有比以前更多的有用信息。
[You have entered the 'Middle Island No.3'.]
你已经进入了“中岛3号”
Along with the blinding rays of light, he finally arrived on the 'Middle Island No.3'. Participants who had arrived alongside him looked around and murmured to themselves.
随着刺眼的光线，他终于到达了“中岛3号”。与他并肩而来的与会者环顾四周，喃喃自语。
[What is this place?]
这是什么地方
[Weren't we supposed to head straight to the 'Main Island'?]
我们不是应该直接去“主岛”吗
Yu Joong-Hyeok simply unsheathed his sword.
于重赫只是拔出了剑。
[Hidden scenario - 'Snatching Modifiers' has begun!]
[隐藏场景-“抓取修饰符”已经开始!]
And then, the slaughter began in earnest. The rampaging storm of crimson-coloured sword light sliced the heads of the Constellations off. There was not one shred of hesitation in Yu Joong-Hyeok's blade. He carved out the hearts of the Incarnations and smashed apart the backs of the escaping Constellations' heads.
然后，屠杀真正开始了。狂暴的深红色剑光划破了星座的头颅。于重赫的刀锋一点也不犹豫。他雕刻出了肉身的心形，把逃跑的星座的脑袋砸得粉碎。
[You have acquired a syllable from the Modifier of Constellation, 'Crow of the Gloomy Sea at Night'.] [You have acquired a syllable from the Modifier of Constellation, 'Beachfront Tactician'.]
[你从星座的修饰语‘黑暗海洋的乌鸦’那里得到了一个音节][你从星座修饰语‘海滨战术家’那里获得了一个音节]
There were a few supposedly-tough enemies here - enemies that would've been difficult to fight against were he in the original 3rd turn of regression. However, Yu Joong-Hyeok was able to defeat them rather easily.
这里有一些据说很难对付的敌人——如果他在第三轮回归中的话，这些敌人是很难对付的。然而，余重赫却轻而易举地打败了他们。
「The weakness of 'Birch Tree's Scorpion' is located below its tail.」 「You must attack the 'Sovereign of the Crescent Moon' repeatedly until the starlight on his head fades away.」
「白桦蝎」的弱点位于尾部以下。」“你必须反复攻击‘新月之君’，直到他头上的星光消失。”
The Yu Joong-Hyeok of the original storyline wouldn't have known that information. Indeed, he'd only get his hands on them after going through the 4th, 5th, 100th, even 1000th regressions.
原来故事情节中的于重赫不会知道这些信息。事实上，他只有在经历了第四次、第五次、第100次甚至第1000次回归之后，才能得到这些数据。
[You have acquired a syllable from the Modifier of Constellation, 'Birch Tree's Scorpion'.] [You have acquired a syllable from the Modifier of Constellation, 'Sovereign of the Crescent Moon'.]
[你从‘桦树天蝎’的星座修饰语那里获得了一个音节][你从星座的修饰语‘新月至尊’那里获得了一个音节]
The Yu Joong-Hyeok of the 3rd turn knew all those information of the future he hadn't yet lived already.
第三圈的余重赫已经知道了他还没有生活过的所有未来的信息。
『Han Su-Yeong - Records of the 1863rd turn (First)』 『Han Su-Yeong - Records of the 1863rd turn (Last)』
论汉书『1863转记』(一)汉书『1863转记』(最后)
It was all thanks to the records from the 1863rd turn in the distant future that he might have gotten to experience if he lived as the story originally intended for him.
这一切都要感谢1863年的记录，在遥远的未来，他可能已经得到的经验，如果他生活的故事原本打算他。
"Fuuu…."
“福......”
Less than a hour later, Yu Joong-Hyeok's surrounding vicinity had become deathly still.
不到一个小时，余重赫周围一片死寂。
Staaab!
斯塔阿布！
He ended the life of the last remaining Constellation and continued to move on. It wasn't just to quickly end this scenario, though.
他结束了最后一个星座的生命，继续前进。然而，这并不仅仅是为了快速结束这种局面。
After walking for a bit, he came across a battlefield soaked in blood.
他走了一会儿，来到一个血淋淋的战场。
'Fertile Forest'
肥沃的森林
He was greeted by the countless corpses of the Incarnation bodies. This spectacle of slaughter seemed to be the handiwork of a certain someone. While gathering the necessary Modifier syllables, Yu Joong-Hyeok chased after the direction of the slaughterer.
无数道成肉身的尸体向他致意。这种屠杀场面似乎是某个人的杰作。于重赫一边收集必要的修饰音，一边追赶着屠夫的方向。
It didn't take him too long to discover a giant cocoon seemingly painted entirely in a black hue. He knew right away what this thing was.
没过多久，他就发现了一个巨大的茧，似乎完全被涂成了黑色。他马上就知道这是什么东西。
"….A monster created by <Eden>, is it."
”...是伊甸园创造的怪物，是吗?”
It was none other than Michael's cocoon. It only appeared after the Archangel was killed off by someone while he was in the middle of 'Demon King Transformation'. Fairly soon, he'd gain a new life and emerge from this shell.
这不是别人，正是迈克尔的茧。它只出现在大天使在恶魔之王变形过程中被某人杀死之后。很快，他就会获得新的生活，从这个壳里出来。
….Just like how, after death, Yu Joong-Hyeok would get to start his next turn. If there was one difference, then it'd be with Michael losing a portion of his memories whenever he came back to life.
...就像余重赫死后如何开始他的下一个转身。如果有什么不同的话，那就是迈克尔每次复活都会失去一部分记忆。
The so-called 'Evil' created to eliminate 'Evil'. The existence of Michael was the reason why Yu Joong-Hyeok could never be friendly with <Eden>.
所谓的“邪恶”是为了消灭“邪恶”而创造的。迈克尔的存在是余重赫不能与伊登友好相处的原因。
As the drizzling rain pelted down, Yu Joong-Hyeok searched the vicinity of the cocoon. Michael ended up in this state because someone managed to defeat him.
随着毛毛细雨的倾盆而下，于重赫在茧的附近搜寻。迈克尔之所以落得如此下场，是因为有人设法打败了他。
Not too long afterwards, Yu Joong-Hyeok discovered the fragments of Fables belonging to a rather powerful Demon King. Someone did fight Michael here and was gravely injured, it seemed.
不久之后，余重赫发现了一个相当强大的恶魔王的寓言碎片。看起来确实有人在这里和迈克尔打架，而且伤势严重。
The traces of these Fables glowed in brilliant white rays even within the faint, blurry fog of rainwater. They belonged to a being Yu Joong-Hyeok was quite familiar with.
这些寓言的痕迹在明亮的白色射线中闪闪发光，即使在微弱的，模糊的雨水雾中也是如此。它们属于一个余重赫非常熟悉的生物。
Shudder.
不寒而栗。
That was around when Michael's cocoon began to quake noticeably. It emitted this gloomy, damp aura as its top began opening up.
大约在年，迈克尔的茧开始明显地震动起来。当它的顶部开始打开时，散发出这种阴郁、潮湿的气氛。
Yu Joong-Hyeok frowned deeply.
于重赫皱起了眉头。
'Already?'
这么快
Dark emotions quickly permeated within the purple-coloured fog. Michael's nude figure, reformed into a brand-new Incarnation Body, slowly revealed itself inside the cocoon.
黑暗的情感迅速地渗透在紫色的雾里。迈克尔的裸体形象被改造成一个崭新的化身身体，慢慢地在茧中显露出来。
Yu Joong-Hyeok got ready to escape from here.
于重赫准备从这里逃走。
[Demon King of…. Sal… va… tion!]
恶魔之王......萨......维......提!]
Indeed, he'd have left this place were it not for those words. Yu Joong-Hyeok hesitated for a little bit, before approaching the half-open cocoon. Michael, still not fully alive yet, lay in a defenceless sleep inside the shell.
事实上，如果不是因为这些话，他早就离开这个地方了。于重赫犹豫了一会儿，才走到半开的茧前。迈克尔还没有完全活过来，躺在贝壳里，毫无防御能力。
Flash!
闪光灯！
Michael's eyelids moved and shot wide open, and just as they did, so did Yu Joong-Hyeok's blade.
迈克尔的眼皮动了动，睁得大大的，就在这时，于重赫的剑也睁开了。
"You sleeping for a little while longer will be better for everyone."
“你多睡一会儿对大家都好。”
Staaab!
斯塔阿布！
His version of [Purest Sword Force] penetrated straight into Michael's heart. The still-weak Incarnation Body that hadn't activated either the [Demon King Transformation] or [Angel Transformation] began to crumble away from the Probability of 2nd generation.
他的“最纯净的剑力”直接刺入了迈克尔的心脏。仍然脆弱的化身身体，没有激活[恶魔王转化]或[天使转化]开始崩溃的概率远离第二代。
Guuwaaaaah-!!
哇哇啊!！
[You have killed the 177th Incarnation Body of 'King of the Corrupted Angels'.]
你已经杀死了“堕落天使之王”的第177道成肉身
Michael's cocoon rapidly shrunk down in size and reverted back to its original status. He'd be reborn in the 178th Incarnation Body, then.
迈克尔的茧迅速缩小，又恢复到原来的状态。那么，他将在第178道成肉身中重生。
[Nebula, <Eden>, is displaying animosity towards your actions!]
[伊甸园星云对你的行为表现出敌意!]
[Constellation, 'Scribe of Heaven', is glaring at you.]
[星座，‘天堂的抄写员’，在瞪着你。]
Yu Joong-Hyeok faced off against the gaze falling from the sky and spoke. "….I've told you this before, haven't I? I shall be the one to kill Kim Dok-Ja. Stop your unnecessary actions."
于重赫对着天上掉下来的目光说道我以前告诉过你，对吧？我将是杀死金道子的那个人。停止你不必要的行为。”
The sky didn't say anything else in return. Yu Joong-Hyeok sheathed his sword and his steps hurried after the trail of fragments scattered around the forest.
天空没有回答任何其他的问题。于重赫收剑，脚步急促，追逐着散落在森林四周的碎片。
*
After he disappeared into the forest's path, a small shadow revealed itself next to Michael's cocoon. Bob-cut hair gently shook around below the black raincoat's hoodie.
他消失在森林的小路上之后，在迈克尔的茧旁边出现了一个小影子。短发在黑色风衣下面轻轻晃动。
The master of the shadow grinned brightly after discovering all the items discarded in the vicinity.
在发现附近所有被丢弃的物品后，影子的主人笑得很开心。
"Yup, a bus of the main character is the best one out there."
“是的，一辆总线的主角是最好的。”
Han Su-Yeong hurriedly shoved the items inside her pocket while giggling happily to herself.
韩素英连忙把东西塞进口袋，一面咯咯地笑个不停。
"In any case, that Regressor guy just doesn't understand the value of items…."
“无论如何，那个Regressor就是不懂得商品的价值......”
[Constellation, 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon', is wordlessly staring at the fragments of the Fables scattered on the ground.]
[星座，‘深渊般的黑色火龙’，无言地凝视着散落在地上的寓言碎片。]
"What are you looking at?"
“你在看什么?”
Han Su-Yeong picked up the fragments the Black Flame Dragon was pointing at. And then, her expression hardened in an instant.
韩素英捡起黑焰龙指向的碎片。然后，她的表情立刻变得强硬起来。
[You have acquired the fragment of Fable, 'King of a Kingless World'.]
[你已经得到了《无王世界之王》这则寓言的片段。]
"Isn't this….?"
“这不是......?”
<Star Stream> was blessed with countless types of Fables, but she knew of only one person that possessed a Fable with such a name. She abandoned the items she'd been picking up and quickly ran in the direction where Yu Joong-Hyeok had disappeared to.
星流有无数种寓言，但她只知道有一个人拥有这样的名字寓言。她放下手中拿着的东西，飞快地朝余重赫消失的地方跑去。
*
I'd die at Yu Joong-Hyeok's hands.
我宁愿死在余重赫的手里。
「(Dok-Ja-ssi.)」
「(Dok-Ja-ssi.)」
Three hours from now, Yu Joong-Hyeok would kill me.
再过三个小时，余重赫就会杀了我。
「(Dok-Ja-ssi!)」
「(Dok-Ja-ssi!)」
I quickly raised my head and made my reply.
我迅速抬起头，作了回答。
'Yes, Yu Sang-Ah-ssi.'
“是的，余桑亚斯。”
「(How long will you stay dazed like this? It's not like you, Dok-Ja-ssi.)」 'I'm not dazed. I'm actually thinking about some things.'
“你这样头昏眼花要持续多久?”？这不像你，多克-贾-西。)」”“我没有头晕。事实上，我正在考虑一些事情
「(Such as?)」
「(比如?)」
'On how to convince him.'
如何说服他
Honestly, I didn't feel confident about doing that. The Yu Joong-Hyeok showing up here to kill me wasn't the same Yu Joong-Hyeok from the 'Ways of Survival' that I read for over ten-plus years of my life.
老实说，我对这么做没有信心。出现在这里要杀我的于重赫，不是我读了十几年的《生存之道》里的那个于重赫。
The one coming to see me now was the Yu Joong-Hyeok who realised that he was just a 'character of a story', just like Yu Joong-Hyeok from the 1863rd turn.
现在来看我的是余重赫，他意识到自己只是一个“故事人物”，就像1863年的余重赫一样。
「(Is it because of your guilt….?)」
“(是因为你的罪恶感...?)”
Sometimes, it felt as if Yu Sang-Ah could openly read my mind.
有时候，我觉得余相娥似乎可以读懂我的心思。
….And right now, she might have really done that, too.
而现在，她可能真的也这么做了。
'No, it isn't. It's something that I must do.' [The power of 'Fruit of Good and Evil' is worsening your guilty conscience.]
”“不，不是的。这是我必须做的事情。”[“善恶之果”的力量正在加重你的罪恶感。]
It was possible that this feeling had been forcibly triggered by the [Fruit of Good and Evil]. Meaning, it might not be mine at all. However, I still believed that this was the path I must take.
这种感觉可能是被[善与恶的果实]强行触发的。也就是说，它可能根本不是我的。然而，我仍然相信这是我必须走的路。
Anna Croft, supporting me during our journey, addressed me. "We should arrive at the centre of the island soon."
旅途中支持我的安娜·克罗夫特(AnnaCroft)对我说:“我们很快就会到达岛的中心。”
I nodded my head as a reply.
我点点头作为回答。
The 'centre' of the island, the location of the portal to transfer you to the next scenario, plus where I'd meet Yu Joong-Hyeok in three hours' time.
岛的“中心”，传送门的位置把你传送到下一个场景，再加上三个小时后我将在那里见到余重赫。
"I don't wish to interfere with the future you have chosen yourself, but… The outcome of my [Precognition] doesn't change all that easily."
“我不想干涉你自己选择的未来，但是......我(预知)的结果不会那么容易改变。”
"….Are you trying to jinx me?"
“你是想诅咒我吗?”
"I'm just trying to be honest with you. If you don't wish to die, it'll be better for you to locate the syllable 'Vil' soon and get to the next scenario."
“我只是想对你说实话。如果你不想死，你最好尽快找到Vil音节，然后进入下一个场景。”
"I'm deliberately choosing not to go. There is a story that I must tell that guy."
“我故意选择不去。我必须告诉那个家伙一个故事。”
The story that I'd been delaying all along, something that I definitely had to discuss with him.
那个我一直拖延的故事，是我必须和他讨论的事情。
"A story, is it….. Does the 'Conquering King' really know how to listen to stories?"
