第374章:第71集-50年后(2)50年?这到底是怎么回事？
As my vision grew blurrier, I caught the smile floating up on the Warrior Monk’s lips.
随着我的视线越来越模糊，我捕捉到了战僧嘴角浮现的微笑。
– Oh, dear Bodhisattva. Please, try to endure time itself.
亲爱的菩萨，请你忍耐一下时间吧。
[Transfer to the Main Island has begun!]
[转移到主岛已经开始!]
[‘Wall that Decides Samsara’ is investigating information of your Fables!]
[“决定轮回的墙”正在调查你的寓言的信息!]
[Investigation has concluded!]
[调查已经结束!]
[The scenario location for you and your comrades has been decided.]
[你和你的同志们的方案地点已经确定。]
This was the very last message I heard before losing my consciousness.
这是我失去意识之前听到的最后一条信息。
[Sub-scenario, ‘Genre Selection’, has begun!]
[子场景，‘类型选择’，已经开始!]

Ricardo stared into the pitch-black liquid filling up his transparent cup and recalled the memories of the distant past.
里卡多凝视着装满他透明杯子的漆黑液体，回忆起遥远的过去。
⸢”Even if you train for 50 years, it’ll be difficult for you to become a royal court mage.”⸥
“即使你训练了50年，你也很难成为一名宫廷法师.”
That was back when he first started learning magic.
那是他第一次开始学习魔术的时候。
⸢”You don’t seem to possess the suitable constitution to become a scholar.”⸥
“你似乎没有成为一个学者的体质.”
That was when the number one scholar in the Kaixenix Archipelago came to tutor him.
就在那时，开塞尼克斯群岛的一号学者来辅导他。
⸢”Your hands are not suited to holding a sword.”⸥
“你的手不适合握剑.”
And that was back when he grabbed a sword for the first time in the royal swordsmanship training grounds.
那是他第一次在皇家剑术训练场上拿剑的时候。
⸢”Some lives are like that. What’s important is to never fall into despair and continue to strive forward, son.”⸥
“有些人的生活就是这样，重要的是永远不要陷入绝望，继续奋斗，孩子。”
Ricardo’s father, Verchen Von Kaixenix, said those words.
里卡多的父亲维兴·冯·凯塞尼克斯说了这些话。
That couldn’t console him, though. A man who had no talent nor desire to do anything wouldn’t be consoled after hearing those words, anyway.
但这并不能安慰他。无论如何，一个没有天赋也不想做任何事情的人听了这些话都不会得到安慰。
Even with no talent, he should strive forward regardless? What would he become if he continued to live on like that, anyway?
即使没有天赋，他也应该奋发向上吗？不管怎样，如果他继续这样生活下去，他会变成什么样子？
Ricardo drunk himself into a stupor every single day. He hung around with the archipelago’s worst hooligans and did drugs. He even became addicted to gambling and squandered away the fortunes of his family, too.
里卡多每天都醉得不省人事。他和群岛上最恶劣的流氓混在一起，还吸毒。他甚至沉迷于赌博，还挥霍掉了家里的财产。
He even fell in love. Once upon a time.
他甚至恋爱了，很久以前。
She was older, and the most beautiful woman in the entire archipelago. Unfortunately, even that had to end after she married his oldest brother.
她年纪比较大，是整个群岛上最漂亮的女人。不幸的是，在她嫁给了他的大哥之后，这种关系也不得不结束了。
Ricardo stared at that black liquid and muttered to himself.
里卡多凝视着那黑色的液体，喃喃自语。
“I’ll just kill myself.”
“我会自杀的。”
That resolution was the first time he swallowed the brave pill in his life.
这是他一生中第一次吞下这颗勇敢的药丸。
He lightly grasped the cup, and as if drinking wine, he emptied its contents in one go. Its effect manifested itself not too long afterwards. His complexion became dark and lifeless, and his arms faltered to the side with no energy.
他轻轻地抓住杯子，好像在喝酒，一口气喝光了里面的东西。不久之后，它的影响就显现出来了。他的脸色变得黑沉沉的，毫无生气，他的手臂无力地向一边摇晃着。
And exactly four hours later.
整整四个小时后。
Someone else opened his eyes in Ricardo’s body.
有人在里卡多的身体里睁开了他的眼睛。
*
Besides ‘Ways of Survival’, I had read quite a few other stories. When I was young, I read those great works of literature my mother recommended, and after I grew up a bit, I began selecting books on my own volition to read.
除了《生存之道》，我还读过不少其他的故事。小时候，我读过母亲推荐的那些伟大的文学作品，长大一点后，我开始按照自己的意愿选择要读的书。
As an aside, the very first web-novel I read began with its protagonist harping on about his misfortune while dying before waking back up again.
顺便说一句，我读的第一本网络小说开始时，主人公喋喋不休地讲述自己在死去之后的不幸遭遇，然后再次醒来。
Just like now.
就像现在。
“Blergh…..!”
“呸......!”
“Your highness! Prince Ricardo! Are you alright, my lord?”
“殿下!里卡多王子!你没事吧，大人?”
Someone was patting me on the back, and I vomited out the contents of my stomach for a long time.
有人拍了拍我的背，我把胃里的东西吐了很长时间。
I wiped my mouth and raised my head only to discover a mirror. The handsome face reflected in it was pale and charmingly attractive.
我擦了擦嘴，抬起头，却发现了一面镜子。反映在上面的是一张漂亮的脸，苍白而迷人。
….It was definitely my face, but something felt unfamiliar about it.
...那绝对是我的脸，但有些东西感觉很陌生。
Who was I?
我是谁？
….Ricardo….?
里卡多？
⸢”You probably know this already, but I’m not a prophet. No, I am as far removed from such a being as you can get.”⸥
你可能已经知道了，但我不是一个预言家。不，我与这种人的距离远得不能再远了。”
I am….
我是..。
⸢”I’m not the ‘Demon King of Salvation’. I’m also not the ‘King of a Kingless World’.”⸥
“我不是‘救世魔王’，也不是‘无王世界之王’。”
I am….?
我是...？
⸢”Twenty-eight…. No, wait. I was twenty-eight, and I was an employee of a game company. My hobby was reading web-novels….”⸥ [Your Fables are resisting against the Great Fable that sets this world’s view!] [Exclusive skill, ‘The 4th Wall’, is strongly activating!]
二十八..。不，等等。我当时28岁，是一家游戏公司的员工。我的业余爱好是阅读网络小说......”[你的寓言正在抵制设定这个世界观的伟大寓言!][独家技能‘第四道墙’，强烈激活!]
I slowly closed my eyes before opening them again, and was immediately overcome with the sensation of the world separating itself from me.
在再次睁开眼睛之前，我慢慢地闭上了眼睛，立刻感觉到世界和我分开了。
[‘The 4th Wall’ has impeded your character immersion.] [Due to the effect of ‘The 4th Wall’, your ego has been fully retained.] [Probability of the Island is suspicious of your preferential treatment.]
[“第四道墙”阻碍了你的角色沉浸。][由于“第四道长城”的效果，你的自我完全保留了下来。][本岛可能怀疑你的优惠待遇。]
I was greeted by the feelings of an unfamiliar body. This one didn’t belong to me.
迎接我的是一个陌生人的感觉，这个人不属于我。
⸢I am Kim Dok-Ja.⸥
我是金道子
My consciousness returned to me in full, and the chain of memories was organised in an instant. I was participating in the ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’ scenario, and had just entered the Main Island.
我的意识完全恢复了，一连串的记忆瞬间组织起来。我当时正在参加“圣恶大战”的场景，刚刚进入主岛。
It was awash with the various spectrum of 3rd generation Fables. Different Fables created different genres of worldviews, and the one right in front of my eyes was….
它充斥着各种各样的第三代寓言。不同的寓言创造了不同类型的世界观，而就在我眼前的是..。
“…..Body possession.”
”...身体占有”
Tsu-chuchuchuchut!
楚楚楚！
[A term not aligned with the worldview has been spoken!]
(一个与世界观不一致的术语已经被提出来了!)
[Penalty will be imposed!]
[惩罚将会实施!]
By the time I woke up again, two hours would have passed by.
当我再次醒来的时候，两个小时已经过去了。
*
“Your highness, are you feeling alright?”
“殿下，你没事吧?”
Someone was calling out to me from beyond my hazy view.
有人在我朦胧的视野之外向我呼唤。
“….Please, may I have some water?”
“......请给我一些水好吗?”
[You have used language not in line with the worldview!]
[你使用的语言不符合世界观!]
[Penalty will….]
[惩罚将......]
“….Hand me some water.”
“...给我一些水。”
“Here it is.”
“在这里。”
After drinking large gulps of cold water, I felt my reasoning return bit by bit. My head was in a mess as the memories of someone else rushed in. I was now occupying the body of a man who had already lived for over 30 years.
喝了一大口冷水之后，我感到我的理智一点一点地回来了。我的脑子一片混乱，因为对别人的记忆涌了进来。我现在占据着一个已经活了30多年的人的身体。
⸢In certain areas on the ‘Main Island’, words that don’t align with the applicable worldview will be prohibited from being spoken.⸥
在“主岛”的某些地区，与适用的世界观不一致的词语将被禁止使用。
I could just about remember some stuff from the ‘Ways of Survival’. Although this particular turn barely got a passing mention, the novel definitely did feature a scenario such as this one.
我几乎可以记住《生存之道》中的一些内容。尽管这个特别的转折几乎没有被提及，小说的确描写了这样一个场景。
The so-called ‘Possession scenario’.
所谓的“占有情节”。
I’d be advancing the scenario ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’ from this person’s perspective from here onwards.
我将从这个人的角度推进《圣恶大战》的剧本。
[It is impossible to summon a Dokkaebi when in the applicable area.] [You are unable to receive indirect messages from the Constellations when in the applicable area.] ….Not only that, strange restrictions were in place, too. This was a different development from the ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’ that I knew of.
[在适用的地区召唤一只多卡比是不可能的][在适用区域内，您无法接收到来自星座的间接信息。]不仅如此，还有奇怪的限制。这与我所知道的《圣魔大战》有所不同。
“….Looks like I’ll have to collect information first.”
“看来我得先收集信息了。”
[You have performed actions befitting the personality of the host body.] [Your understanding of the applicable host body is increasing.]
[你所做的动作与宿主身体的个性相符][你对宿主身体的了解正在增加]
Straight away, I began rummaging through the memories from the ‘Ways of Survival’.
马上，我开始翻找《生存之道》中的记忆。
⸢The Kaixenix Archipelago, the isle of heroes that led the Age of Saints and Demons.⸥
凯塞尼克斯群岛，英雄之岛，引领了圣徒与恶魔时代
I couldn’t really recall any particularly useful information. Why did it have to be an area that didn’t get much of a mention in the ‘Ways of Survival’?
我记不起任何特别有用的信息。为什么它必须是一个在《生存之道》中没有多少提及的领域？
But, it didn’t feel like a completely foreign place to me, though….
但是，它对我来说并不是一个完全陌生的地方。
Was that because of the memories of the person I had possessed overflowing into me?
是不是因为我对曾经拥有的那个人的记忆溢出到我的身体里？
[Exclusive skill, ‘Character List’, has been activated!]
[独家技能，‘角色列表’已被激活!]
Now originally, I couldn’t see my Attribute Window. However, if it was the one belonging to the host body that I took over, then….
现在原来，我看不到我的属性窗口。但是，如果它属于我接管的宿主身体，那么..。

….Why was I stuck inside such a guy’s body?
为什么我会被困在这样一个人的身体里？
The scenario’s message definitely told me that I’d occupy a ‘host related to me’. However, what did this wastrel prince have in common with me? Not only that, this dude’s natural muscular stat was 10. The only thing similar between us would be our age, but even then….
这个场景的信息明确地告诉我，我将占据一个“与我有关的主人”。然而，这个浪子王子和我有什么共同点呢？不仅如此，这家伙天生的肌肉指数是10。我们之间唯一相似的就是我们的年龄，但即使那样..。
“Your highness, are you immersing yourself in roleplay once more?”
“殿下，您是不是又要沉浸在角色扮演中了?”
“Roleplay?”
“角色扮演?”
“Last time, you were imitating our First Ancestor…. You’re now wearing an outfit that I haven’t seen before, your highness. You’re dressed like the people from Earth’s chronicles, sir.”
“上次你模仿我们的祖先.....。你现在穿的这套衣服我以前从没见过，殿下。你穿得像地球编年史里的人物，先生。”
I took a look at the mirror without thinking too much about it and spotted the familiar outfit. Bizarrely enough, all my equipment had been transferred along with my possession of the host body.
我看了看镜子，没有想太多，就发现了那套熟悉的衣服。奇怪的是，我所有的设备都随着我对宿主身体的占有一起被转移了。
I replied in a dead-pan manner. “It’s an outfit of a certain Demon King.”
我毫无表情地回答:“这是某个恶魔王的装备。”
“….A Demon King, your highness?”
“...一个魔王，殿下?”
I reached into the coat’s inner pocket, and fortunately enough, I could feel the equipment I possessed still in there. I took out my smartphone first. In order to acquire more info on this place, I needed to check the contents of the ‘Ways of Survival’….
我把手伸进大衣的内口袋，幸运的是，我能感觉到我的设备还在里面。我先拿出了我的智能手机。为了获得更多关于这个地方的信息，我需要检查“生存之道”的内容..。
Tsu-chuchuchut!
楚楚！
[The applicable item does not line up with the worldview and therefore cannot be used.]
[适用的项目与世界观不一致，因此不能使用。]
….Screw this damn penalty.
去他妈的惩罚。
The butler alongside me must’ve interpreted my actions in his own way, since he spoke as thus. “Indeed, your highness, it’ll be better to enjoy yourself for one last time. Soon, ‘his’ majesty will call for you. Well, then.”
我旁边的管家一定是用他自己的方式理解了我的行为，因为他是这样说的。”“的确，殿下，最后再享受一次会更好。很快，国王陛下就会召见你。那好吧。”
Leaving behind those words, the butler went away from my side. And I was left all alone in this small room.
留下了这些话，管家离开了我的身边。我被单独留在这个小房间里。
⸢Kim Dok Ja is lone ly.⸥
金道子是唯一的一个
Right, it’s a relief that at least you’re here with me. I wonder what had happened to my other companions…
是的，至少你和我在一起，这让我松了一口气。我想知道我的其他同伴发生了什么事..。
According to the last message I heard, it was highly probable that they all ended up in the same area as me. For the time being, I switched the scenario window on. The backlogged messages rose up non-stop in my view.
根据我听到的最后一条消息，他们很可能都和我在同一个地区。就目前而言，我打开了场景窗口。在我看来，积压的消息不停地涌现出来。
[You have entered Main Island’s ‘Kaixenix Archipelago’.] [‘Kaixenix Archipelago’ is currently cut off from the ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’ conflict region’s space-time.] [You can advance to the ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’ after solving the applicable area’s sub-scenario.]
[你已经进入了主岛的“凯克森尼克斯群岛”。][“凯塞尼克斯群岛”目前被切断与“圣魔大战”冲突地区的时空。][在解决了适用区域的子场景之后，你可以进入“圣魔大战”。]
I’d probably have to raise an army here and participate in the ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’. Meaning, this place would serve as a foundation to enter that war.
我可能不得不在这里组建一支军队，参加“圣恶大战”。也就是说，这个地方可以作为参战的基础。
[You can’t view the information on the scenario yet.] [The plot of the applicable scenario will change according to the route you have chosen.]
[您还不能查看场景中的信息。][适用场景的情节将根据您所选择的路线而改变]
The route I’ve chosen?
我选择的路线？
No, hang on a minute. At least I need to know what the conditions for failure is, so I can….
不，等一下。至少我需要知道失败的条件是什么，这样我才能..。
[You won’t fail the applicable scenario as long as you do not die.]
[只要你不死，你就不会在适用的情况下失败。]
Now, this kind of situation would be my first.
现在，这种情况是我的第一次。
In any case, I wouldn’t fail this scenario as long as I stay alive, was that it? I sat down on the bed and calmly organised my thoughts.
无论如何，只要我还活着，我就不会失败，是这样吗？我坐在床上，平静地整理着自己的思绪。
My name in the current worldview was Ricardo Von Kaixenix.
在当前的世界观中，我的名字是里卡多·冯·凯塞尼克斯。
As this scenario was built upon the basis of ‘possession’, I had to perfectly carry on acting like the prince I took over.
由于这个场景是建立在“占有”的基础上的，我必须完美地继续表现得像我接管的王子一样。
My current priority should be to search for the other members of <Kim Dok-Ja’s Company>. It was highly possible that they were possessing other people like me, so only after I find them would I be….
我目前的首要任务应该是寻找金道子公司的其他成员。很有可能他们附身在像我这样的人身上，所以只有当我找到他们之后，我才会.....。
