Anna Croft's expression hardened instantly and she sneakily pulled out her shortsword behind her back. "….'Conquering King'."
安娜·克罗夫特的表情立刻变得强硬起来，她偷偷地在背后拔出短剑，“......‘征服国王’。”
Completely disregarding her, Yu Joong-Hyeok spoke while taking large strides to approach us. "You two seem to be getting along nicely. Do you feel a sense of camaraderie from the fact that you both know about the future?"
于重赫完全不顾她，一边大步走近我们，一边说话。“你们两个看起来相处得不错。你们都知道未来的事实，你们有没有一种同志情谊的感觉?”
"….But, you also know the information about the future, don't you?"
“......但是，你也知道关于未来的信息，不是吗?”
"What I've experienced isn't the future."
“我所经历的不是未来。”
Kugugugugu-!!
酷酷酷酷!！
"It's simply the 'things that had happened'. It's the past."
“这只是‘已经发生的事情’，已经过去了。”
Things that had happened, he said.
发生的事情，他说。
Yu Joong-Hyeok had to live through the story that I read while welcoming thousands of deaths in the process. As if to respond to all those years he had spent, the [Dark Heavenly Demon Sword] held in his hand began to cry out viciously.
余重赫不得不经历我读过的故事，同时在这个过程中迎接了数千人的死亡。仿佛是为了回应他度过的那些岁月，他手中的黑暗天魔剑开始凶狠地叫喊起来。
Anna Croft snuck a glance in my direction.
安娜·克罗夫特偷偷朝我这边看了一眼。
I replied to her. "You should go. This guy came to see me, not you."
我回答她，“你该走了，这家伙是来找我的，不是你。”
"I pray that I'll get to hear your end goal through your own words next time we meet."
“我祈祷，下次我们见面时，我能用你自己的话听到你的最终目标。”
Leaving behind those words, she vanished through the portal without a trace. For sure, she had no reason to stay behind. She had paid her debt more than enough by assisting me this far, after all.
留下这些话后，她消失了通过传送门，没有留下任何痕迹。毫无疑问，她没有理由留下来。毕竟，她帮了我这么多，已经还清了她的债。
Yu Joong-Hyeok didn't try to stop her from leaving. If it was any other times, he'd doggedly pursue her and cut her head off, but not today.
于重赫并没有阻止她离开。如果还有其他时候，他会顽强地追求她，砍下她的头，但不是今天。
"Yu Joong-Hyeok," I called out to him.
“于重赫，”我朝他喊道。
But, he didn't look at me. No, he simply stared at the empty, open mouth of the portal.
但是，他没有看我，没有，他只是盯着传送门那张空空的大嘴。
So, I called out to him one more time. "Please, at least listen to what I have to say. You used to call me your comrade, once upon a time, didn't you?"
于是，我又一次向他喊道。“请至少听听我要说的话。你过去常说我是你的同志，是吗?”
He shifted his gaze towards me and slowly unsheathed his sword.
他把目光转向我，慢慢地拔出剑。
"That was in the past."
“那都是过去的事了。”
The icy-cold rage permeating within his voice wasn't something that I could readily unpack.
他的声音里弥漫着冰冷的愤怒，这让我很难解释清楚。
[Unique skill, the 'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint' has been activated!]
[独特的技能，‘无所不知的读者视角’被激活了!]
And so, I took yet another step into the curse of omniscience.
所以，我又向无所不知的诅咒迈进了一步。
[Your degree of understanding on the applicable individual is lacking!]
[你对适用的个人缺乏理解的程度!]
Unfortunately, Yu Joong-Hyeok's inner thoughts didn't permit my spying attempt, as if to assert that the person in front of my eyes was no longer the same guy that I knew all this time.
不幸的是，余重赫内心的想法不允许我这么做，好像在断言我眼前的这个人已经不再是我一直以来认识的那个人了。
"I can already guess what you want to talk to me about. It's probably about that book of yours."
“我已经猜到你想和我谈什么了。可能是关于你的那本书。”
"….."
"....."
"Through that book, you peeked into my life, and used me as your entertainment. Is there anything else I should know?"
“通过那本书，你窥视了我的生活，把我当作你的娱乐。还有什么我应该知道的吗?”
I couldn't mouth any excuses. Because those were all truths. What I did was no different from what other Constellations had been doing.
我不能说任何借口。因为这些都是事实。我所做的和其他星座所做的没有什么不同。
"I…."
“我...”
I knew that. I definitely did. But….
我知道我当然知道但是..。
But, was the sense of betrayal everything he felt?
但是，这种被背叛的感觉就是他所感受到的一切吗？
[Your degree of understanding on the applicable individual is increasing gradually bit by bit.]
[你对应用对象的理解程度正在逐渐增加。]
Yu Joong-Hyeok was waiting for me, as if he was the judge searching for that yet-undiscovered opportunity to frame me even further.
于重赫在等着我，好像他就是那个寻找那个尚未发现的机会来进一步陷害我的法官。
Too bad, I had no idea what to say here.
太糟糕了，我不知道在这里说什么。
His emotions flooded into my head and filled it up to full in no time through the 'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint'. All the texts that I knew were steadily being overwritten by the words completely foreign to me.
他的情绪涌入我的脑海，通过无所不知的读者视角立刻将它填满。我所知道的所有文本都被那些对我来说完全陌生的词语所覆盖。
The words that I should be saying, words that I wanted to say, they were all being buried under the blackened waves of emotions crashing in.
那些我应该说的话，那些我想说的话，都被淹没在汹涌而来的黑暗的情绪波涛之中。
And then, his sword moved.
然后，他的剑移动了。
Even at that moment, it still didn't feel real to me. Indeed, it felt far too surreal that he'd forget about all those times we survived together and try to kill me right here.
即使在那一刻，我还是感觉不真实。事实上，他会忘记我们一起生存的那些时光，并试图在这里杀了我，这感觉太超现实了。
['Fruit of Good and Evil' is influencing your emotions!]
[“善恶之果”正在影响你的情绪!]
['The 4th Wall' is shaking around violently!]
“第四道墙”正在剧烈地晃动
The moment I saw the blade flying in right in front of my nose, a guilty conscience, as well as a sense of unfairness, welled up in my heart.
当我看到刀刃在我眼前飞舞的那一刻，一种负罪感和不公平感涌上了我的心头。
['Fruit of Good and Evil' is dragging out your dark emotions to the fore!]
[“善与恶的果实”正在把你们黑暗的情感拖到前面!]
I did my best in my own way. After these scenarios got underway, I really tried my best. In my own way, I did my best to put what I read to practice.
我用自己的方式尽了最大的努力。在这些情况发生之后，我真的尽了最大的努力。以我自己的方式，我尽最大努力把我所读的东西付诸实践。
I never once thought about hurting Yu Joong-Hyeok or any of my companions. All I ever thought about was these scenarios - what should I do to minimise the harm? What should I do so that we could safely reach the true end of everything?
我从来没有想过要伤害余重赫或者我的任何同伴。我所想的只是这些场景——我应该怎么做才能把危害降到最低？我应该做些什么，以便我们能够安全地到达一切的真正终点？
That was all I did. Nothing more. Yet…
那就是我所做的，仅此而已，然而..。
Just what made things to go so wrong like this?
到底是什么让事情变得如此糟糕？
Claaaang!!
克拉昂!！
Along with the explosive grinding noise, blue sparks danced in the air.
伴随着爆炸声和摩擦声，蓝色的火花在空中飞舞。
"Why are you standing around dazed like that, you dumbass?!"
“你为什么站在那里，头晕目眩，你这个笨蛋?!”
Han Su-Yeong was standing next to me now.
韩素英现在就站在我旁边。
*
It was no coincidence that Han Su-Yeong arrived on the 'Middle Island No.3'.
韩素英来到“中岛三号”并非巧合。
While progressing through the 'Small Island's' scenario, she had a certain dream. And it was about a man wearing a white coat dying at the hands of another man wearing a black coat.
在经历“小岛”事件的过程中，她有一个梦想。故事讲的是一个穿白大褂的人死在另一个穿黑大褂的人手里。
It was the same rubbish dream she had already a while ago, so she even muttered to herself, 'It's that stupid dream again,' while dreaming it. Because, a dream would remain just that, a dream, and would never come to reality.
这是她不久前做过的同样的垃圾梦，所以她甚至一边做这个梦一边喃喃自语，“又是那个愚蠢的梦。”。因为，梦想只是一个梦想，永远不会成为现实。
….Just like a novel could never become reality, that was.
就像小说永远不会变成现实一样。
- Looks like the me of the 3rd turn is a bit of a moron, isn't she. I showed her the same image several times already, yet she doesn't seem to get it….
看起来第三个弯道的那个我是个白痴，不是吗。我已经给她看过几次同样的图片了，但她似乎还是不明白.....。
'What the heck was that?!'
“那是什么鬼东西?”
Han Su-Yeong in the dream nearly jumped up in fright and shifted her gaze towards the voice. A woman wearing a black coat was standing there. This mysterious person possessed a similar physique to her. And as if someone deliberately erased her face, there were no distinguishing features at all.
韩素琼在梦中惊恐得差点跳起来，把目光转向那个声音。一个穿黑色外套的女人站在那里。这个神秘的人拥有和她相似的体格。而且好像有人故意擦掉她的脸，根本没有任何明显的特征。
That blank face continued to speak.
那张面无表情的脸继续说话。
- Looks like this regression will end up as a failure if this keeps up, huh….
-看来如果这样继续下去，这次回归最终会以失败告终。
Han Su-Yeong felt this instinctive fear and took a couple of steps back. Unfortunately, she was still inside her own dream, and no person alive could run away from their dreams.
韩素英感到这种本能的恐惧，退了几步。不幸的是，她仍然在她自己的梦里，没有一个活着的人能逃离他们的梦。
- You see, me, I like throwing a wrench in someone else's schemes.
你看，我，我喜欢破坏别人的计划。
The moment this woman of the dream extended her hand, strange, unexplainable information flooded into Han Su-Yeong's head.
梦中的这个女人伸出手时，奇怪的、无法解释的信息涌入韩素妍的脑海。
[Ability of 'Predictive Plagiarism' is being awoken inside you!]
[预测剽窃的能力正在你的内心被唤醒!]
And that was how Han Su-Yeong woke up from her sleep. Unknown information swam inside her head, and her consciousness moved on its own volition to sort through her new-found knowledge base.
韩素妍就是这样从睡梦中醒来的。未知的信息在她的头脑中游动，她的意识按照自己的意志行动，整理她新发现的知识库。
A short while later, this one sentence formed in her head.
过了一会儿，这句话在她脑子里形成了。
- Yu Joong-Hyeok will head towards the 'Middle Island No.3'.
ー余重赫将前往「中岛三号」。
She had no clue why such a sentence popped up in her mind. Even then, she decided to heed it. She didn't know what that unidentifiable dream was all about, or who that faceless woman within it was, but regardless, the thought of 'I must do so' rang clearly in her head.
她不知道为什么这样的句子突然出现在她的脑海里。即便如此，她还是决定留意一下。她不知道那个无法辨认的梦是关于什么的，也不知道梦中那个不知名的女人是谁，但无论如何，‘我必须这样做’的想法在她的脑海里清晰地回响。
And that was how she reached this very location, this very moment.
她就是这样到达了这个地方，这个时刻。
"Get out of my way. I have no business with you."
“滚开，我和你没有任何关系。”
Yu Joong-Hyeok was glaring at her with a pair of frightening eyes. Meanwhile, Kim Dok-Ja was staring at her with a dazed expression on his face.
于重赫用一双吓人的眼睛瞪着她。与此同时，金道子带着茫然的表情盯着她。
Han Su-Yeong slowly sucked in her breath. She still didn't know what the dream was trying to show her. However, at least right in this moment, she knew what her role was.
韩素英慢慢地吸了一口气。她仍然不知道这个梦想想要告诉她什么。然而，至少在这一刻，她知道自己的角色是什么。
Han Su-Yeong chuckled in her usual slimy manner and spoke up.
韩素英一如既往地轻声笑了起来，大声说道。
"I knew that you'd cause a problem sooner or later. There's no way the 'Yu Joong-Hyeok' I know would change like that."
“我知道你迟早会制造麻烦。我认识的‘余重赫’不可能会变成那样。”
"If you don't move out the way, then I…."
“如果你不让开，那我......”
"What, you want to kill me, too? And what would you gain by doing that? Is this the compensation for all those times you've been deceived?"
“什么，你也想杀了我吗？你这样做会得到什么好处呢？这就是你所受欺骗的补偿吗?”
Yu Joong-Hyeok didn't reply. Instead, his sword skill seemed to be forgotten for a moment there. His blade sliced down from the air and Han Su-Yeong defended against the attack with a smirk.
于重赫没有回答。相反，他的剑术似乎被遗忘了一会儿。他的刀从空中划了下来，韩素妍冷笑着防御着他的进攻。
"….You and Kim Dok-Ja are exactly the same when it comes to not listening to other people, you know."
“......你和金道子在不听别人说话方面完全一样，你知道的。”
[Constellation, 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon', is roaring out in rage!]
[星座，‘深渊黑火龙’，怒吼着!]
The power of [Black Flames] permeating within her entire figure clashed against his sword swing.
渗透在她整个身体中的黑火焰的力量与他挥舞的剑发生了冲突。
The weight behind Yu Joong-Hyeok's sword strike after being boosted by the 2nd generation's power was quite heavy. She bit her lip hard enough to draw blood as she unleashed all of her strength.
余重赫在第二代力量的推动下剑击背后的重量是相当沉重的。她用尽全身的力气咬住嘴唇，流了很多血。
He was indeed strong. However, it wasn't as if she was fooling around doing nothing up until now.
他的确很强壮，但是，直到现在为止，她似乎并不是在到处鬼混，什么也不做。
[Fable, 'Disciple of the Legendary Swordmaster', is shining brightly!]
[寓言《侠客门徒》闪闪发光!]
That was the Fable she barely managed to earn by scraping and clawing her way through the scenario before coming here. The strength of a Swordmaster swirled around her figure and explosively rose up within her.
这就是她来到这里之前勉强挣来的寓言故事。剑士的力量在她的身体周围旋转，在她的身体里爆发性的上升。
Tsu-chuchuchuchut!!
楚楚楚!！
In other places, it may not work, but if it was this place, then….
在其他地方可能行不通但如果是这个地方那么..。
"When a person is saying something to you…"
“当一个人对你说话时......”
The strengthened [Black Flame] rushed towards Yu Joong-Hyeok through the gaps of the dancing dark-blue sparks.
加强的黑火焰从跳动的深蓝色火花的缝隙中向余重赫冲去。
"….You! Should! Listen!"
“...你!应该!听着!”
The barrage of the strengthened flames rained down in sync with her words. Yu Joong-Hyeok's eyes shook around, hard, at the unexpectedly robust resistance put up by her. She didn't miss that opening and loudly yelled out.
随着她的话语，强烈的火焰如雨般倾泻而下。于重赫的眼睛四处颤抖着，狠狠地看着她出乎意料地顽强的抵抗。她没有错过那个开口，大声喊道。
"All Kim Dok-Ja did was read a novel! A stupidly long and boring novel!"
“金道子只不过是读了一本小说!一本又长又无聊的愚蠢小说!”
Seeing Yu Joong-Hyeok get pushed back bit by bit, she thought that she could pull this off. This was not a tough dilemma to solve. This misunderstanding only came about because of people's words. That was why she believed that more words could resolve it once and for all.
看到余重赫一点一点地被逼退，她以为自己可以做到。这并不是一个难以解决的困境。这种误解只是因为人们的言语而产生的。这就是为什么她相信，更多的话可以一劳永逸地解决这个问题。
"So, just talk to him, will ya! Speak to each other without holding back! Just like how everyone else does!"
“那么，就跟他说说话吧，好吗?说话不要退缩!就像其他人一样!”
The flames of [Black Flame] remained persistent and stuck on to Yu Joong-Hyeok's blade. He coldly spoke as he shook off the darkish flames. "You don't know anything."
[黑火焰]的火焰依然不灭，粘在余重赫的剑刃上。他冷冷地说着，摆脱了黑色的火焰。“你什么都不知道。”
"No, I know already," growled Han Su-Yeong, after hearing his words that cold-heartedly excluded her. "What are you so pissed off about? About Kim Dok-Ja approaching you while knowing everything about you? But, aren't you the same? Just like him, you acquired info for yourself and have deceived everyone else until now, haven't you?"
“不，我已经知道了。”韩素英听了这话，冷冷地把她排除在外。“你为什么这么生气？关于金道子在了解你的一切的同时接近你？但是，你不是一样的吗？就像他一样，你为自己获取信息，到目前为止欺骗了所有人，不是吗?”
Perhaps those words became the seed, because rage began filling up Yu Joong-Hyeok's eyes next. Their swords clashed in the air once more.
也许这些话成了种子，因为愤怒接下来就充斥了余重赫的眼睛。他们的剑又在空中发出刺耳的声音。
"Of course, I know that you were being sincere. I know that you did those things to save people, to reach an even better world…. But what about Kim Dok-Ja, then?"
“当然，我知道你是真心的。我知道你做这些事是为了拯救人们，为了到达一个更美好的世界.....。那么，金道子怎么办?”
"….."
"....."
"Tell me, just which idiot would throw his life away because a character from a story is about to die "
“告诉我，哪个白痴会因为一个故事中的人物即将死去而放弃自己的生命?”
She saw Yu Joong-Hyeok's blade freeze up for a moment there and continued to pour out her words.
