#381: Crackle of gunfire


After seeing that line of illegible and sharp letters, Lawrence and side first mate was shocked together. 在看到那行潦草而又锐利的字母之后,劳伦斯与身旁的大副一同愣住了。 Human has, and only then two eyes...... why will here be carving such words?” The first mate opened the eye, after staring that line of characters were looking for a long time, has turned the head puzzled, this is not very normal matter —— besides few congenital malformations, who isn't two eyes?” “人类有且只有两只眼睛……为什么这里会刻着这么句话?”大副张大了眼睛,盯着那行字看了许久之后才困惑地转过头,“这不是非常正常的事情么——除了极少数的先天畸形之外,谁不是两只眼睛?” Lawrence does not have first opens the mouth, but after hesitating breaks for a long time silent: You thought that who this line of characters are remain?” 劳伦斯却没有第一时间开口,而是在沉吟许久之后才打破沉默:“你觉得这行字是谁留下来的?” „...... The indigenous people on island?” The first mate not too definitely said, in this island once had the person?” “……岛上的原住民?”大副不太肯定地说道,“这座岛上曾经有人?” This island did not say, but on Dagger Island in Real World some people,” Lawrence is definitely saying slowly, put out a hand to touch these scratches on wall gently, the rough and clear touch transmitted from the fingertip, as if in transmitting these words was being carved the next that powerful emotion and thought that human had, and only then two eyes, some people carved these words specially on the wall, perhaps on explaining a matter......” “这座岛不好说,但现实世界中的匕首岛上肯定是有人的,”劳伦斯慢慢说着,伸出手去轻轻触碰着墙上的那些刻痕,粗糙而真切的触感从指尖传来,仿佛在传达着这句话被刻下时那股强烈的情感和意念,“人类有且只有两只眼睛,有人专门把这句话刻在墙上,或许就说明了一件事……” Explained a matter?” “说明了一件事?” In this island, appeared not has, only then two eyes, seems like the thing of human,” Lawrence raised the head slowly, looks to the surrounding thick fog, as well as in fog these prospect indistinctly, „, moreover they mixed in human, is actually not able easily to be detected.” “这座岛上,曾经出现过并非‘有且只有两只眼睛’的、像是人类的东西,”劳伦斯慢慢抬起头,看向了周围的浓雾,以及雾中那些影影绰绰的远景,“而且它们混在了人类之间,却又无法被轻易察觉。” The first mate inspires gently, is hesitating the opens the mouth: „Did the person who that...... leaves behind these words which go?” 大副轻轻吸了口气,迟疑着开口:“那……留下这句话的人去哪了?” I do not know, Lawrence shakes the head, why does not know, these black mud when he actually remembers walked to see, as well as empty wharf region, but is quick he then to put the one side these irrelevant relates temporarily, and placed on the hand the door knob in harbor office, completes the security.” “我不知道,”劳伦斯摇了摇头,不知为何,他却想起了一路走来时看到的那些黑色泥浆,以及空荡荡的码头区域,但很快他便把这些无关联想暂时放到一旁,并将手放在了港口办公室的门把手上,“做好警戒。” The firearms open the safe sound from transmit behind, Lawrence calms down, in the hand makes an effort slightly, shoves open that door. 枪械打开保险的声音从身后传来,劳伦斯定了定神,手中微微用力,将那扇门一把推开。 He moves sideways rapidly one side, avoids possibly hiding anything in building the body exposition, on nearby first mate first half step, with half squatting stance with the rifle muzzle direction door, later sailors also lifts the muzzle, aims at that leaf of front door from each angle. 他迅速闪身到一旁,避免把身体暴露给可能藏在建筑物内的任何东西,一旁的大副上前半步,以半蹲姿态用步枪枪口指向房门内,随后的水手们也纷纷抬起枪口,从各个角度指向那扇大门。 In building does not have any sound. 建筑物内没有任何动静。 Stands calms down in the entrance first mate, the probe head looks cautiously to the room. 站在门口的大副定了定神,小心翼翼地探头看向屋内。 Inside no one,” he has turned head, is a spatial office, inside is turning on a light.” “里面没人,”他回过头,“是个空办公室,里面亮着灯。” Lawrence beckons with the hand to the sailors, leads to enter the room with the first mate together. 劳伦斯对水手们摆了摆手,与大副一同带队进入房间。 This is an office of nobody left, several tables almost occupied in half of spaces, several chairs place before the table at will, as if some previous second of also people sit on that the gas lamp on electric lamp and wall of roof is shining, making in the room especially bright, but...... finds at everywhere that strange suspicious black mud on the floor. 这是一间空无一人的办公室,几张桌子差不多占据了里面一半的空间,几张椅子则随意摆放在桌前,仿佛前一秒还有人坐在那上面,屋顶的电灯和墙壁上的瓦斯灯都亮着,让房间中格外明亮,而在地板上……随处可见那种诡异可疑的黑色泥浆。 Here is this type of disgusting gadget...... first mate is also knitting the brows to look at the black material in room everywhere, the color of dislike can be seen in speech and appearance, he goes round the mud on floor cautiously, before arriving at that several desks, the vision has swept the documents and various types of office supplies of above disorderly stack, these things...... Captain do you want to come to see?” “这里也到处都是这种恶心玩意儿……”大副皱着眉看着房间里的黑色物质,厌恶之色溢于言表,他小心翼翼地绕开地板上的泥浆,来到那几张办公桌前,目光扫过上面凌乱堆放的文件和各种办公用品,“这些东西……船长您要来看看吗?” Is the form and report of harbor daily wants processing, the commodity turnover, the personnel movement, the facility does an inspection, the report of examination of machinery equipment......” Lawrence arrives by these desks, reads the above several documents, the brow wrinkles slowly, date...... several days ago?” “都是港口日常需要处理的表格与报告,物资进出,人员调动,设施巡查,还有机器设备的检查报告……”劳伦斯来到那些办公桌旁,看着上面的几份文件,眉头慢慢皱起,“日期……就在几天前?” Here as if also some people in the work, a sailor swallowed a saliva some time ago anxiously, the low voice whisper said, then everyone evacuated hurriedly, the thing has not tidied up with enough time......” “这里仿佛不久前还有人在办公,”一个水手紧张地咽了口口水,小声嘀咕道,“然后所有人就都匆忙撤离了,东西都没来得及收拾……” Hurried evacuation?” Lawrence is muttering in a low voice, the vision has swept the desktop, the coffee that half cup has not drunk up places on the table, above is floating a light dust, but by this table, beach black mud is dry, the little black materials also remain on the seat, his expression is gradually dignified, „is really the evacuation......” “匆忙撤离?”劳伦斯低声咕哝着,目光扫过桌面,半杯没有喝完的咖啡放在桌上,上面浮着一层薄薄的灰尘,而在这张桌子旁边,一滩黑色泥浆已经干涸,少许黑色物质还残留于座椅上面,他的表情逐渐凝重,“真的是撤离么……” The first mate noticed the change in old Captain tone: Captain, what you think of?” 大副注意到了老船长语气中的变化:“船长,您是想到什么了?” Lawrence thinks, just wants to say anything, grating noise actually transmits —— that from the room suddenly sounds seems like the direction of harbor square, when is the loudspeaker starts suddenly electric current noise! 劳伦斯想了想,刚想开口说些什么,一阵刺耳的噪声却突然从房间外面传来——那听上去像是港口广场的方向,是广播喇叭突然启动时的电流噪音! Buzz —— “嗡—— The grating noise makes everyone be startled, sailors hurrying will look at out of the window, but the next second , was twisting and combines the broadcast sound of disturbance then resound through the entire harbor area off and on, that will sound is a slightly old sound: Circular...... we had been polluted...... the main island...... possibly not to have saving...... to start on the 22 nd the flow...... to be honored very much with work together as colleagues...... we to meet again after the Bartok front door.” 刺耳的噪音让所有人都吃了一惊,水手们慌忙将目光投向窗外,而下一秒,一个断续、扭曲且混杂着干扰的广播声便响彻了整个港口区,那听上去是一个略显苍老的声音:“通告……我们已被污染……本岛……已无挽救可能……将启动二十二号流程……很荣幸与诸位共事……我们在巴托克的大门后再会。” With a grating noise, the broadcast sound that hears from the square stops suddenly, the first mate with astonishment stared in a big way the eye, turned the head to look to Lawrence: Captain, how this is......” 伴随着一阵刺耳的噪音,从广场上传来的广播声戛然而止,大副惊愕地瞪大了眼睛,转头看向劳伦斯:“船长,这是怎么……” His finishing barely the words, transmits from the distant place like the slating loud sound suddenly! 他的话音未落,一阵如同雷鸣般的巨响突然从远处传来! But along with that thunderous loud sound, is more thunderous sounds, like the calamity, destroys like the bare hill! 而伴随着那阵雷鸣巨响的,是更多的雷鸣声,如同天塌地陷,如同地崩山摧! One after another fulmination loud sound swept across entire Dagger Island instantaneously, shocks everyone's mind, the Lawrence almost flash was then responding that what happened —— 接二连三的爆鸣巨响瞬间席卷了整座匕首岛,震撼着所有人的心神,劳伦斯几乎一瞬间便反应过来发生了什么事情—— This is not thunderous, is the blasting explosive, is in the island the destructive mechanism of certain facilities is blowing up all! 这不是雷鸣,是炸药,是岛上某些设施的自毁装置在炸毁一切! Leaves the building quickly!” Lawrence sudden shouted loudly, held up the pistol then to open fire toward the ceiling, had the blasting explosive!” “快离开建筑物!”劳伦斯突然一声高喊,举起手枪便朝着天花板开了一枪,“有炸药!” The Captain scream was almost exploded submerges, however fulmination many of pistol awakened the surrounding sailors, one group of people turn toward out of the door to flush away immediately. 船长的喊叫声几乎被爆炸淹没,然而手枪的爆鸣多少还是惊醒了周围的水手们,一群人立刻向着门外冲去。 Several people ran out of the front door, rushed to the slopeway, dashes about wildly to go toward the open place, but that intensive explosion from was still transmitting continuously in all directions, as if entire island is being ripped the fragment in the large explosion, when dashes about wildly half, Lawrence actually felt that suddenly probably which had is not right. 十几人冲出了大门,冲下了坡道,向着开阔的地方狂奔而去,而那密集的爆炸仍然在持续不断地从四面八方传来,就仿佛整座岛都正在大爆炸中被撕成碎片,然而在狂奔到一半的时候,劳伦斯却突然感觉到了好像有哪不对。 Stops!” He stopped suddenly, fires into the air while shouts loudly, stops!” “停下!”他突然停了下来,一边朝天开枪一边大声喊道,“停下!” The sailors stopped flustered , they also detected not the right place. 水手们又慌里慌张地停了下来,紧接着,他们也察觉到了不对劲的地方。 All around only then the explosive sound transmits in the direction that —— however explodes resounds unable to see the smog, cannot see the flash, even could not feel that any trembles. 四周只有爆炸声传来——然而爆炸响起的方向上既看不到烟雾,也看不到闪光,甚至感觉不到任何震颤。 The slating sound is reverberating on the entire island. 只有雷鸣般的声音在整座岛上回荡着。 After a while, that explosive sound then stops gradually, all around restored the silent appearance in thick fog, before as if , the earth-shattering large explosion is only everyone's collective auditory hallucination. 紧接着又过了一会,那爆炸声便渐渐止息下来,四周又恢复了浓雾中的寂静模样,就仿佛之前天崩地裂般的大爆炸只是所有人的集体幻听罢了。 Only has the sound?” The first mate erratically looks at all around surprisedly, said unbelievable. “只有声音?”大副惊疑不定地看着四周,难以置信地说道。 Is a remnant sound,” the Lawrence heartbeat also returns to normal gradually, does fast was judging that —— he does not know although own judged is right, but as Captain, he must to everyone a judgment, that should be only in this island had had the matter now a moment ago, repeated in our ears in the remnant loud way, really does not explode.” “是一段残响,”劳伦斯的心跳也渐渐平复下来,飞快地做着判断——尽管他不知道自己的判断对不对,但作为船长,他现在必须给大家一个判断,“刚才那应该只是这座岛上曾经发生过的事情,以残响的方式又在我们耳边重演了一遍,不是真的爆炸。” I was about to scare to death a moment ago,” a sailor is whispering, I also think that really has the large explosion......” “刚才我快吓死了,”一个水手嘀咕着,“我还以为真有大爆炸……” „The explosive sound closest to here in that direction, first mate raised the head a moment ago, is confirming the position, finally raised the hand refers to harbor square another end, can go to that side to have a look?” “刚才距离这里最近的爆炸声是在那个方向,”大副抬起头,确认着方位,最后抬手指向港口广场另一端,“要不要去那边看看?” In the past had a look at the situation,” Lawrence got down the decision quickly, „, if here really once had anything, there should also remain the trace.” “过去看看情况,”劳伦斯很快下了决定,“如果这里真的曾经发生了什么,那里应该还残留着痕迹。” The exploration team sets out toward that thick fog immediately, this time, they compared with went forward a moment ago discretely. 探索队伍立刻朝着那片浓雾进发,这一次,他们比刚才前进得更加谨慎。 How long crossed did not know, a big project of collapsing appeared in front of Lawrence. 过了不知多久,一片坍塌的大型建筑出现在劳伦斯面前。 This piece of building situated in a small-scale bay posterior margin, is backing on a firm rock cliff, but...... it was completely destroyed by a large explosion from inside to outside from the destruction trace of building obviously. 这片建筑物位于一处小型海湾内缘,背靠着一片坚固的岩石山崖,而从建筑物的破坏痕迹来看……它显然是被一场由内而外的大爆炸完全摧毁。 The big substation in the high place, with astonishment looks at this stretch of ruins. 大副站在高处,惊愕地看着这片废墟。 Facility why this uses...... too astonishing......” “这得是干什么用的设施……太惊人了……” We should curious here have how dreadful matter, such facility will be blown up without hesitation,” Lawrence sinking sound is saying, slowly forwarded two steps, „, if the person on this island......” “我们更应该好奇这里发生了多么可怕的事情,以至于这样的设施会被人毫不犹豫地炸毁,”劳伦斯沉声说着,慢慢向前走了两步,“如果这座岛上的人……” Stops.” “停下。” A sound conveys from side suddenly, Lawrence stopped the footsteps instantaneously. 一个声音突然从旁边传来,劳伦斯瞬间停下了脚步。 Martha?!” 玛莎?!” He looked suddenly to direction that the sound conveys, issues the surprised and intense summon. 他猛然看向声音传来的方向,发出惊疑而紧张的呼唤。 But there only then fog of fluctuating, cannot see that familiar form slowly. 可那里只有一片缓缓起伏的雾,根本看不到那个熟悉的身影。 Captain?” The first mate noticed Captain abnormal to respond, immediately jumps down from the stone, arrived at side Lawrence anxiously, what happened?” 船长?”大副注意到了船长异常反应,立刻从石头上跳下来,紧张地来到劳伦斯身边,“发生什么事了?” „...... The auditory hallucination,” Lawrence says immediately, the expression is especially serious, you have not heard the sound, yes?” “……幻听,”劳伦斯立刻说道,表情格外严肃,“你们没有听到声音,是吧?” We have not heard.” The sailors look at each other in blank dismay, one of them said. “我们没有听到。”水手们面面相觑,其中一人说道。 We possibly should not continue to penetrate,” Lawrence knits the brows, first returns to the harbor, then......” “我们可能不该继续深入了,”劳伦斯皱起眉,“先回港口,然后……” The Martha sound spreads to his ear, this sound nearly leaves: Returns to the ship, now.” 玛莎的声音又传入他耳中,这次声音离得更近:“回船上,现在。” Lawrence was startled, restrains oneself do not look again to direction that the sound conveys, he also wants to continue to speak, however the next second, the Martha sound conveys again, this time is almost pasting his ear, in the tone , then brings rapid: Returns to White Oak, immediately —— Lawrence, they come!” 劳伦斯怔了一下,克制着自己不要再看向声音传来的方向,他还想继续说话,然而下一秒,玛莎的声音再次传来,这次几乎贴着他的耳朵,语气中则带着一丝急促:“回到白橡木号上,立刻——劳伦斯,他们来了!” Lawrence opened the eye slightly, subconscious opens the mouth: Who? Who came?” 劳伦斯微微睁大了眼睛,下意识开口:“谁?谁来了?” Nearby first mate worried that holds the arm of Lawrence: Captain, are you speaking to whom?” 一旁的大副担心地扶着劳伦斯的胳膊:“船长,您在跟谁说话?” Lawrence has not opened the mouth, but looks up suddenly to direction that White Oak approached shore. 劳伦斯没有开口,只是猛然抬头看向了白橡木号靠岸的方向。 Well ups anxiously. 一股不安涌上心头。 But next second, as if to verify this anxiety sadly, thunderous indistinct passed from that direction suddenly. 而下一秒,仿佛是为了印证这番不安,一声沉闷的雷鸣突然隐约从那个方向传了过来。 Is the crackle of gunfire. 是炮声。 Some people open fire......” first mate to respond instantaneously, has the enemy!” “有人开炮……”大副瞬间反应过来,“有敌人!” Returns to the ship!” Lawrence shouts, bringing the team to have no more to do with then to run to the harbor, but in wind sound/rumor that by the ear resounds rapidly, the Martha sound such as the whisper has stroked his ear bank in a soft voice: “回船上!”劳伦斯一声呼喊,带着队伍拔腿便跑向港口,而在耳旁迅速响起的风声中,玛莎的声音如轻声耳语般拂过他的耳畔: Petrel number came......” “海燕号来了……”
