“一个故事，是不是......‘征服之王’真的知道怎么听故事吗?”
"If he doesn't, then I better make him."
“如果他不这么做，那我最好让他这么做。”
Anna Croft remained silent for a little while. She must've been thinking of something, as her eyes were looking up at the blackish-blue night sky above. Several Constellations were looking down at us from up there.
安娜·克罗夫特沉默了一会儿。她一定在想些什么，因为她的眼睛正在仰望着头顶那黑蓝色的夜空。几个星座从上面向下看着我们。
"I'm sure that you know this already, but well, you can't convince every single person."
“我相信你已经知道这一点，但是，你不可能说服每一个人。”
She was a prophet. She probably experienced a similar situation as mine many times before. After all, she reached this place by lying to Selena Kim and deceiving Iris, didn't she?
她是个先知。她以前可能多次经历过和我类似的情况。毕竟，她是通过欺骗赛琳娜·金姆和爱瑞丝来到这个地方的，不是吗？
"I think that we should say such things only after we try everything in our power first."
“我认为，只有在我们首先竭尽全力之后，才应该说出这样的话。”
"A person must bear the burden as weighty as the future she sees, you know."
“你知道，一个人必须承担她所看到的未来那样沉重的负担。”
The centre of the island could be seen in the distance now. And the giant portal leading to the next scenario was there. Anna Croft withdrew her supporting hands from me and spoke. "Well then, this is as far as we go."
现在从远处可以看到岛的中心。通向下一个场景的巨大入口就在那里。安娜·克罗夫特把支撑我的手从我身上抽开，说道。“那么，我们只能走到这里了。”
She had gathered all the Modifier syllables, and was qualified to step through that doorway now. Soon, she would continue to stride forward towards the destination she sought after.
她已经收集了所有的修饰音音节，现在已经有资格走进那扇门了。很快，她就会继续大步向着她所追求的目标前进。
Just as I turned around away from her, she called out to me. "Kim Dok-Ja."
就在我转身离开她的时候，她对我喊道:“金道子。”
Not as the Constellation 'Demon King of Salvation', but as 'Kim Dok-Ja'. She was calling out to 'me'.
不是作为星座的“救世魔王”，而是作为“金道子”。她在呼唤“我”。
"My aim is to change the master of this <Star Stream>."
“我的目标是改变这条星流的主人。”
Right away, I was beset with this uncomfortable feeling. Because… I could tell what she was planning to say next.
马上，我就被这种不舒服的感觉所困扰，因为......我知道她接下来打算说什么。
"What is your goal, then?"
“那么，你的目标是什么?”
….I knew it.
我就知道。
"Do I really need to answer you?"
“我真的需要回答你吗?”
"I feel that only after hearing your answer, will I get to finally decide whether to let you live or not."
“我觉得只有听了你的回答，我才能最终决定是否让你活下去。”
She had placed me on a scale, basically - whether I'd be a help in her pursuit towards her goal or become a hindrance, instead. If she thought that I'd become the latter, then she'd not hesitate to make me disqualified here.
基本上，她把我放在了一个天平上——无论我是帮助她追求自己的目标，还是成为她的阻碍。如果她认为我会成为后者，那么她会毫不犹豫地让我在这里失去资格。
I quietly stared deeply into her eyes.
我静静地深深地凝视着她的眼睛。
Would it be fine to tell her? Tell her what I truly want in this world?
告诉她好吗?告诉她我在这个世界上真正想要什么？
Since she was a prophet, would she be able to understand me?
她既是先知，能明白我的意思吗？
"I…."
“我...”
Unfortunately, even before I could fully open my mouth, someone else's voice interrupted me.
不幸的是，我还没来得及完全张开嘴，就被别人的声音打断了。
"His goal is to see the end of a certain insignificant story."
“他的目标是看到某个无关紧要的故事的结局。”
Icy-cold rage thickly permeated that voice.
那声音里弥漫着冰冷的愤怒。
And I knew that voice better than anyone.
我比任何人都了解这个声音。
