#10: The machinery calls upon the gods


Late at night the corner, the pale yellow light falls, in the tavern the atmosphere is very calm, the intense liquor air/Qi, was reverberating in this period. 深夜街角,昏黄的灯光落下,酒馆内气氛很是平静,只有强烈的酒气,在其间回荡。 This is a newly-opened tavern, has not propagandized probably, in addition the position remote reason, the guest in tavern is few, no buzz of conversation, everyone sits in own shadow respectively, is tasting the strong liquor, after the rest enough, walks into the wind and rain. 这是一处新开的酒馆,大概是没有怎么宣传,加上位置偏僻的原因,酒馆内的客人很少,也没有什么谈话声,大家各自坐在属于自己的阴影中,品尝着烈酒,休息够后走入风雨之中。 Lorenzo sits near the bar, packs the sword bag of nail sword to be hung in the one side, reveals an ice-cold corner/horn, the person who the command notices deeply feels to dread. 洛伦佐坐在吧台边上,装满钉剑的剑袋被挂在一旁,露出冰冷的一角,令注意到的人深感畏惧。 Today seems anything not to do, but felt that experienced many things. 今天好像什么也没做,但又感觉经历了很多事。 Lorenzo is gazing at the liquor water in cup, in the deep space color surface, is producing an inverted image his face. 洛伦佐注视着杯中的酒水,深空色的表面上,倒映着他的脸庞。 Tosses down, Lorenzo many alcoholic intoxication feelings, have not hunted for the physique of demon person to make numb only to continue very short time like this, was indulged by oneself thoroughly cannot achieve. 一饮而尽,洛伦佐没有多少醉酒感,猎魔人的体质令这样的麻木只能持续很短的时间,就连让自己彻底放纵也做不到。 You seem like worry very much.” “你看起来很烦恼。” The wineshop attendant depended, now has no guest, he is also very idle. 酒保靠了过来,现在没什么客人,他也很是清闲。 Fortunately, but always thought that some are not right, like lost at that time self-.” “还好,只是总觉得有些不对劲,就像当时迷失自我一样。” Lorenzo is responding lazy, raised the head, hints the smile to the wineshop attendant. 洛伦佐慵懒地回应着,抬起头,冲酒保示意微笑。 Hsintien is good, Helck.” “新店还不错,赫尔克里。” I feel also well, although was remote, but at least left lower city district to be very far.” Helck forks the waist, looks at own Hsintien well satisfied. “我觉得也不错,虽然偏僻了点,但至少离下城区很远。”赫尔克里叉腰,心满意足地看着自己的新店。 „The lower city district good and bad people mixed up, is very good to make money, but the matter are also many, these fellows fight in the tavern once for a while, sometimes will also die several, really worried.” 下城区鱼龙混杂,很好挣钱,但事情也多,那些家伙时不时就在酒馆里打架,有时候还会死几个,实在是太烦心了。” Feels the harmony in tavern, in the phonograph is playing an instrument and singing slowly the gentle song, Helck is enjoying the tranquil happiness. 感受着酒馆内的和谐,留声机里缓缓弹唱着轻柔的歌曲,赫尔克里享受着平静的美好。 Jiudian?” Lorenzo asked. “旧店呢?”洛伦佐问。 Sold to others.” “卖给别人了。” Helck was saying takes up several beverage bottles, falls back and forth, different color liquor water mixed in one, installed in the drinking glass, above floated off unceasingly the close air bubble, the color dark green, like the saliva of some monster. 赫尔克里说着拿起数个酒瓶,来回倾倒,不同颜色的酒水混杂在了一起,装在了玻璃杯中,上面不断浮起细密的气泡,颜色墨绿,就像某种怪物的口水。 Completes all these, Helck pushed to Lorenzo the wine glass, Lorenzo swept one, although does not think very much, but looked, in Helck exempts in the share of account, he received this cup along with reason. 做完这一切,赫尔克里把酒杯推向了洛伦佐,洛伦佐扫了一眼,虽然很不想,但看在赫尔克里免账的份上,他还是接过了这杯“随缘”。 Therefore Mr. Hall Moss your honorable self visits, to not rub my several glasses of liquor will drink?” “所以霍尔莫斯先生大驾光临,不会只是为了蹭我几杯酒喝吧?” Helck is inquiring, in this time footsteps sound in broken bits, was very slight, but cannot escape the ear of Lorenzo. 赫尔克里问询着,也是在这时细碎的脚步声响起,很轻微,但没能逃过洛伦佐的耳朵。 Borloo taking off, jumped onto the bar, Lorenzo tried to put out a hand to catch it, but it jumped again, jumped Helck head. 波洛一个起跳,跃上了吧台,洛伦佐试着伸手抓它,但它再次跃起,跳到了赫尔克里的头上。 Exudes squeak squeak the sound, like ridiculing Lorenzo. 发出吱吱的响声,就像在嘲笑洛伦佐一样。 Dead mouse.” “死耗子。” Lorenzo criticized one, then looks to Helck, said indefinitely. 洛伦佐暗骂了一声,然后看向赫尔克里,不确定地说道。 I always thought that...... I forgot anything probably.” “我总觉得……我好像忘记了什么。” Memory palace, I have taught you.” Helck said. “记忆宫殿,我教过你的。”赫尔克里说道。 That is a mysterious palace, has the innumerable corridor and door, on the bookshelf in room piled up with the books, recorded in the life in detail all things, the master in waiting palace consulted. 那是一座神奇的宫殿,有着数不清的走廊与门扉,房间里的书架上堆满了书籍,详细地记录了人生中所有的事情,等待宫殿的主人去查阅。 Lorenzo then with Helck help, reclaimed the memory of losing. 洛伦佐便是在赫尔克里的帮助下,找回了失落的记忆。 No, is not quite a little same, I encountered the counter mold at the end of the world, because, I was also trying to avoid these using the memory palace at that time......” “不,有点不太一样,我在世界尽头遭遇了逆模因,当时我也在试着利用记忆宫殿避免这些……” Lorenzo words sound gradually low, in the mind is recalling that illusory one. 洛伦佐的话语声渐渐低落了下去,脑海里回想着那虚幻的一幕。 Magnificent palace in counter mold because of under the influence, collapses and collapses unceasingly, Lorenzo dashes about wildly along the memory way, he found with the Furlow Will Kadatsein's related room, but a there wall blank, the front door of advance had been erased. 辉煌的宫殿在逆模因的影响下,不断地坍塌、崩坏,洛伦佐沿着记忆的路径狂奔,他找到了与弗洛基・威尔格达森有关的房间,可那里的墙壁一片空白,前进的大门早已被抹除。 Counter mold because of even remembers that the palace can erase, is radical erasing.” “逆模因连记忆宫殿都能抹除,是彻彻底底的抹除。” In the Lorenzo words has some fears, this strength not fierce entity, cannot bring the pain of suffering, but its cunning nature, made anybody sleepless sufficiently. 洛伦佐的话语里带着些许的恐惧,这份力量没有狰狞的实体,也带不来折磨的痛苦,但其诡诈的性质,足以令任何人夜不能寐。 Like you, Helck, if you were erased, I and your related memory will vanish, can verify you have had the thing also to be twisted, like an author with one stroke of the pen, completely eliminates a character in book is the same.” “就像你,赫尔克里,如果你被抹除了的话,我与你有关的记忆都会消失,能印证你存在过的事物也会被歪曲,就像一个作者大笔一挥,将书中的一个人物完全消除一样。” Helck complexion ice-cold, from this short several, he has been able to know this strength the fearfulness, what is main is the response of Lorenzo. 赫尔克里的脸色冰冷了起来,从这短短的几句之中,他已经能知晓这份力量的可怕,但最主要的还是洛伦佐的反应。 I think at first not by counter mold because of influence, but in Old Turin is longer, I more can feel that faint trace the difference, as if...... my life is not this, I lacked anything probably, but I.” “我起初以为自己没有被逆模因影响,但在旧敦灵过的越久,我越能感受到那一丝丝的不同,似乎……我的生活不是这样的,我好像缺了些什么,但我记不起来。” Lorenzo is telling, expression slightly obviously painful. 洛伦佐自述着,表情略显痛苦。 Had anything to forget by him, was very important matter, extremely important matter, but Lorenzo could not record in any event. 有什么东西被他忘记了,是很重要的事,极为重要的事,可无论如何洛伦佐就是记不起来。 „Do you affirm you not by the counter mold because of the influence?” Helck asked. “你肯定你没有被逆模因影响吗?”赫尔克里问道。 I...... I had not been affected.” “我……我没有被影响。” Lorenzo hesitant flickered, strengthened, at the end of the world, he has continued to inject Furlow Rend medicament massively, to avoid forgetting anything, he frequently is maintaining vigilant. 洛伦佐犹豫了一瞬,紧接着坚定了起来,在世界尽头中,他一直持续大量地注射弗洛伦德药剂,为了避免忘记任何事,他时刻都保持着警惕。 Recalled the past again, the picture is fluttering about at present. 再度回忆过去,画面在眼前纷飞。 „Can that be you, did oneself make himself forget these?” Helck suspects to say. “那会不会是你,自己令自己忘掉了这些呢?”赫尔克里怀疑道。 „Did I...... make myself forget these?” “我自己……令自己遗忘这些?” Is listening to Helck words, the Lorenzo expression is slightly lost. 听着赫尔克里的话,洛伦佐的表情略微出神。 Yes, I do not know that what matter you experienced, but has such possibility very much, not? You the first time were not did this.” “是啊,我不知道你到底经历了什么事,但很有这样的可能,不是吗?况且你也不是第一次这样做了。” Helck is scratching the drinking glass, after they clean, hangs on the above cup frame. 赫尔克里擦着玻璃杯,将它们弄干净后,挂在上方的杯架上。 These dim memories, then deliberately forgot by you, the seal after the front door, the thing that perhaps this time you forgot, was this.” “那些昏暗的记忆,便是被你刻意遗忘,封印在了大门之后,说不定这次你忘记的东西,也是这样。” In that memory palace should also have its trail to be right.” “那记忆宫殿内也应该有它的踪迹才对。” Lorenzo said, may tell only half he then realized suddenly issue is. 洛伦佐说道,可说到一半他便猛然意识到了问题的所在。 Looks at his interesting expression, Helck shows the smile, regarding remembering, Hull Kribi anybody must be familiar with this thing, under that passing experience, he can easily recall own every day. 看着他那有趣的表情,赫尔克里露出微笑,对于记忆,赫尔克里比任何人都要熟悉这东西,在那过往的经历下,他能轻易地记起自己的每一天。 You look, can perhaps be this, you used the counter mold, because, making oneself forget anything.” “你看,说不定会是这样,你利用了逆模因,令自己忘记了什么。” Lorenzo silent, the eye pupil reduced slightly, the train of thought revolves rapidly. 洛伦佐沉默了一阵,眼瞳微微紧缩,思绪飞转。 Why then...... I do want to forget these?” “那么……我为什么要忘记这些呢?” ...... …… often/common Youren said that after you enough understand Old Turin, you will realize that Old Turin is an extremely extremely fat city, is the complex system wraps incessantly in this city, because also its this huge and complex construction. 常有人说,在你足够了解旧敦灵后,你会意识到旧敦灵是一座极为臃肿的城市,不止是复杂的系统包裹在这座城市上,还因为它这庞大且复杂的建设。 This city most made is not this endless water vapor that people had a headache, but proliferated the steam conduit of underground deep place, under the vigorous construction of mechanical institute, the column of furnace was similar to the rhizome of trees deeply to grip under the land, it spread to all around unceasingly, filled up this lands the machinery and steel. 这座城市最令人们头疼的不是这没完没了的水汽,而是遍布地下深处的蒸汽管道,在机械院的大力建设下,熔炉之柱便如同树木的根茎深扎于土地之下,它不断地向四周扩散,将机械与钢铁填满这片土地。 in addition of years holds, the blueprint of column of furnace iterated from generation to generation, the personnel change, the machinery expands, the Old Turin underground world had turned into another huge and dark labyrinth completely, inside crawled completely the mouse and poisonous insect, even if the pump of moving will not have the confidence to say forever, oneself fully understood this inversion the underground city. 岁月的加持下,熔炉之柱的设计图迭代了一代又一代,人员更替,机械扩张,旧敦灵的地下世界已经完全变成了另一个庞大且黑暗的迷宫,里面爬满了老鼠与毒虫,哪怕是永动之泵也没有信心说,自己完全了解这片倒置的地下城市。 The river water of River Thames was fallen into the column of furnace, the fireworks of ascension is releasing a lot of steam, they racing wells up in the pipeline, are promoting the machineries of various types. 泰晤士河的河水被倾倒入熔炉之柱中,升腾的焰火释放着大量的蒸汽,它们在管道内奔涌,推动着各式的机械。 In steel tree root that this occupies, forever the center-section of pump of moving column situated in furnace, its , is also the most deep place of column of furnace, there is the furnace of high temperature, burns down the residual waste residue to be fallen in this darkness, forgot. 在这盘踞的钢铁树根之中,永动之泵位于熔炉之柱的中段,它的下方,也就是熔炉之柱的最深处,那里是高温的熔炉,烧毁残留的废渣被倾倒在这黑暗之中,被人遗忘。 Does not need, few will come here, in fact has not arrived in the path in this deep place directly. 没有必要,几乎没有人会来到这里,实际上也没有直接抵达这深处的道路。 In forever the coordination of pump and under mechanical institute moving, the function of column of furnace many years ago then completed the differentiation, will control all operations of column of furnace close to the upside of surface, but the lower segment of column of furnace, only needs to inspect the maintenance to be good once for a while, at all guarding of not needing personnel. 在永动之泵与机械院的协同下,早在很多年前熔炉之柱的职能便完成了区分,临近地表的上段将控制熔炉之柱的所有运行,而熔炉之柱的下段,只需要时不时地检查维护就好,根本不需要人员的驻守。 Most deep place that therefore the pump of moving then can arrive in forever, in its under is only the sea of fire of combustion, is Old Turin provides the continuous power. 故此永动之泵便是可以抵达的最深处了,在它的下方只是燃烧的火海,为旧敦灵提供源源不断的动力。 Driven by these reasons, in except the mechanism/organization, most people have forgotten only also had place of such darkness, no one will ponder, the root of column of furnace is anything. 在这些原因的驱使下,在净除机关内,绝大部分人已经遗忘了还有这么一处黑暗之地,也没有人会去思考,熔炉之柱的根部到底是什么。 Yet now, this is regarded as the spent clay residual deep place, is actually full the dazzling white light, it reflected to shine the huge subsurface construction, in its most above was the complex pipeline, with is resounding unceasingly thundering. 可如今,这被人们视为废土残渣的深处,却充盈着刺目的白光,它映亮了庞大的地下建筑,在其的最上方则是复杂的管道,与不断地鸣响着的轰鸣。 The black-clothed person raised the head, look to the top of the head dark red light source, that is the column of furnace, after heavy/thick metal, is the sea of fire of flaming combustion, along with thundering, the blazing steam overflows in the crevasses of pipeline, cools in the ice-cold metal, leaves behind the slightly cool water drop. 黑衣人抬起头,望向头顶暗红的光源,那便是熔炉之柱,厚重的金属后,是熊熊燃烧的火海,伴随着轰鸣,炽热的蒸汽在管道的裂隙间溢出,在冰冷的金属上冷却,留下微凉的水珠。 Here was the most deep place of column of furnace, spent clay darkness that but was familiar with unlike people, here has is as good the huge architectural complex of pump of moving, the black-clothed person will look forever toward the stage under, can see the armed silent soldiers, they marched silently, in the grating sharp sound, was escorted to the ground by the elevator. 这里便是熔炉之柱的最深处了,但与人们熟悉的废土黑暗不同,这里有着不逊于永动之泵的庞大建筑群,黑衣人向着高台之下看去,能看到武装沉默的士兵们,他们静默地行军,在刺耳的锐响中,被升降机送往地面。 That goes directly to the secret passage of Old Turin surface, is not clear about existences of these dense say/way except the mechanism/organization in only. 那是直达旧敦灵地表的秘密通道,就连净除机关内部也不清楚这些密道的存在。 The black-clothed person put out a hand, pick up a cigarette and ignition. 黑衣人伸出手,拾起一根香烟、点燃。 Smoking to him is not a pleasant matter, his body distortion, under the stimulation of tobacco, can only feel a pain of heartrending, but he inhales tenaciously, making the ache make itself become sober. 吸烟对他而言并不是件令人愉快的事,他的身体畸变,在烟草的刺激下,只能感到一阵钻心的疼痛,但他还是固执地吸入,让疼痛令自己变得清醒。 New round counter mold has been ready because of the influence, prepares to put.” “新一轮的逆模因影响已就绪,准备投放。” The broadcast reverberation in the underground world, can hear reverse of machinery, in the furnace resounds one to thunder again. 广播回荡在地下世界中,能听到机械的扭转,熔炉内再度响起一阵轰鸣。 Starts to put.” “开始投放。” Carries the counter mold to be posted in the furnace because of the information carrier, they can wrap with the steam of ascension in the same place, making it turn into the new carrier, overflowed the Old Turin street, rose into the cumulus cloud, turned into the icy rain to fall , to continue the baptism this city. 携带逆模因信息的载体被置入熔炉之中,它们会和升腾的蒸汽包裹在一起,令其变成新的载体,溢出旧敦灵的街头,升入积云之中,变成冷雨落下,继续洗礼着这座城市。 No one knows oneself have not been knowing anything, only except the mechanism/organization so, building country is also this. 没有人知道自己还不知晓着什么,净除机关如此,筑国者也是这样。 In this forgotten darkness, they are affecting the Old Turin cognition, hidden firmly the secret that these cannot expose temporarily. 在这被遗忘的黑暗里,他们影响着旧敦灵的认知,将那些暂不能暴露的秘密牢牢地隐藏起来。 Has footsteps sound, the black-clothed person has turned around, sees only another fellow who wears the silver white mask appeared before oneself body. 有脚步声响起,黑衣人转过身,只见另一个戴着银白面具的家伙出现在了自己身前。 From the contour, this should be a woman, but her whole body by the long gown package, can see under the long gown indistinctly, has with the mask material quality same metal, seems like the personal mail-armor and helmet, completely protects her. 从外形来看,这应该是个女人,但她的全身都被长袍包裹,隐约地能看到长袍下,有着与面具材质相同的金属,似乎是贴身的甲胄,将她完全地保护起来。 Progresses how?” “进展如何?” The women asked that her sound ice-cold, did not have the slight mood. 女人问道,她的声音冰冷,不带丝毫的情绪。 All prepared to complete, the record of concerned street sweeper was erased completely, the personnel list was also destroyed, in addition established since from the street sweeper department, the counter mold that then conducts because of the influence, no one knows our existences now, even if were Mr. Hall Moss is also so.” “所有的准备都完成了,有关清道夫的记录被完全抹除,人员名单也被销毁,加上从清道夫部门建立起时,便进行的逆模因影响,现在没有人知晓我们的存在,哪怕是霍尔莫斯先生也是如此。” Black clothes humanity, as in most mystical the department except the mechanism/organization, this point he is very self-confident. 黑衣人道,作为净除机关中最神秘的部门,这一点他很是自信。 Do not look down on him, I guess that Mr. Hall Moss has detected the difference, if drags some time again, perhaps he will discover us.” The women said. “别小瞧他,我猜霍尔莫斯先生已经察觉到了异样,如果再拖一段时间,他说不定就会发现我们了。”女人说。 The black-clothed person think, he thought Lorenzo really may make such matter, but he was not worried the woman worries. 黑衣人想了想,他觉得洛伦佐确实有可能做出这样的事,但他并不担心女人所担忧的。 „, The actor has don't worry taken place, the curtain will get up.” “不用担心,演员已就位,帷幕将起。” This......” woman is chanting in a low voice, she then with the black-clothed person to the apparent, in the darkness under mask, was rolling up and pushing along the weak flame. “这样吗……”女人低吟着,她转而与黑衣人对视在了一起,面具下的黑暗里,卷动着微弱的火光。 On you have the trace of corrosion, here many has such trace.” “你身上有侵蚀的痕迹,这里很多人都有这样的痕迹。” Right,” black-clothed person frank said, in the street sweeper, people like us is called turns over to the dead.” “没错,”黑衣人坦言道,“在清道夫中,我们这种人被称作归亡者。” Sounds cannot be regarded any good title.” “听起来算不得什么好的称谓。” Custom is good,” black-clothed person is overlooking this underground world, can present the person here, has been ready.” “习惯就好,”黑衣人俯瞰着这地下的世界,“能出现在这里的人,都已经做好了准备。” Goes to?” “赴死?” Is goes to incessantly, but complies with the regulations, complies with absolutely, even if some people fortunately survived, before leaving street sweeper department, he will also receive the counter mold because of the influence, forgets with here related all.” “不止是赴死,而是遵从条例,绝对地遵从,哪怕有人幸存了下来,在离开清道夫部门之前,他也会受到逆模因的影响,忘记与这里有关的一切。” No one knows,” woman wears the mask, on the silver white mask is proliferating the fine pattern, no one can see her expression, sounds really sad.” “无人知晓,”女人戴着面具,银白的面具上遍布着精致的花纹,没有人能看到她的表情,“听起来真难过。” The black-clothed person smile, he does not feel by this sad, then said own name. 黑衣人笑了笑,他并不以此感到悲伤,然后说出了自己的名字。 Galahad.” 加拉哈德。” Sounds like a code name,” woman hesitant, without rejection, Washington.” “听起来是个代号,”女人犹豫了一下,没有拒绝,“华生。” Your sounds is also, your name?” Galahad asked. “你的听起来也是,你的名字呢?”加拉哈德问。 Will forget eventually, this type of thing is unimportant, you are also this, right.” “终究会被遗忘,这种东西并不重要,你也是这样,没错吧。” Galahad had not denied, had not replied, Washington and he stood, is gazing at the street sweepers of full speed revolution together, in the distant place, had the serious sound of footsteps reverberation, as if the giant marched forward in the darkness. 加拉哈德没有否认,也没有回答,华生和他站到了一起,一起注视着全速运转的清道夫们,在更远处,有沉重的脚步声回荡,仿佛巨人在黑暗中行进。 The Galahad mood was very long is transferred like this, he was somewhat hard keeps calm, exclaiming in surprise. 加拉哈德的情绪很久没有这样被调动了,他都有些难以保持冷静,惊叹着。 We have been aloof beyond the story, worked loose author pen.” “我们已经超脱于故事之外,挣脱了‘作者’的笔。” Galahad continued. 加拉哈德继续说着。 We in the crucial time will send out, to change the entire story the trend, in that most towering transition like story.” “我们会在关键的时刻出动,改变整个故事的走向,就像故事中那最为突兀的转折。” Is listening to his words, Washington seemed like remembered anything, under the mask resounded a happy expression, she said. 听着他的话,华生似乎是想起了什么,面具下响起一阵笑意,她说道。 Calls upon the gods like the machinery.” “就像机械降神。” The Galahad approval nod, he is repeating. 加拉哈德赞同地点头,他复述着。 Machinery calls upon the gods.” “机械降神。”
