Although, I can hide the truth from him to be short „disappearance” in that case as before with the aid of the dark the help of environment and pastor, but he pretends that prayed and follows the monitoring to be very difficult? Without doing what misdemeanor, does open and aboveboard go to have what issue? “窥视者”之前为什么不跟着我进教堂？虽然那样一来,我依旧能借助幽暗的环境和牧师的帮忙瞒过他短暂“消失”,但他假装祈祷、跟随监控很难吗？没做什么坏事,光明正大进去有什么问题吗？ Only if he has the black history, is afraid church, is dreading the bishop, knows that perhaps the opposite party has the extraordinary ability...... 除非他有黑历史,害怕着教会,畏惧着主教,知道对方或许有非凡的能力…… Such it seems like, private detective this possibility was very low is very low...... 这么看来,私家侦探这个可能性就很低很低了…… Hū! Klein sighed, before no longer resembles, is so tight, took a step leisurely and carefree, circles back Zoutlan Street. 呼！克莱恩吐了口气,不再像之前那么紧绷,悠闲迈步,绕到了背面的佐特兰街。 He stopped in a style was ancient, the wall motley construction front, here door plate was „3”, the name was „Zoutlan Shooting Club”. 他停在了一栋风格古老,墙壁斑驳的建筑前方,这里的门牌号是“三”,名称是“佐特兰射击俱乐部”。 The underground target range of police department has opening to „the public” part, to earn extra funds. 警察部门的地下靶场有开放给“公众”一部分,以赚取额外的经费。 Klein just entered inside, the peeped at feeling vanishes immediately, he seizes the opportunity, „special action section” the badge gave the server who is responsible for receiving. 克莱恩刚进入里面,被窥视的感觉立刻消失,他抓住机会,将“特别行动部”的徽章给了负责接待的服务生。 Makes the confirmation slightly, he was introduced underground, arrives at together the airtight small target range. 稍作验证,他被引入地下,来到一块密闭的小靶场。 „10 meters target.” Klein confessed after the server simply, takes out the revolver from the armpit hoister, put out that box of brass luster bullet from the clothing pocket. “十米靶。”克莱恩简单对服务生交代了一句后,从腋下枪袋内取出左轮,从衣物兜里拿出了那盒黄铜色泽的子弹。 Suddenly stared, making his strength the hope to self-preservation defeat the dragging sickness, therefore came impatiently the practice marksmanship. 突然被人盯上,让他对自保之力的渴望战胜了拖延症,于是迫不及待地过来练习枪法。 pā! 啪！ After the server leaves, he flings the rotating disk, withdraws from silver demon hunting bullet one by one, then picks up the brass luster normal bullet, rounds of squeeze in the cylinder. 在服务生离开后,他甩出转轮,将银色的猎魔子弹一一退出,接着拈起黄铜色泽的正常子弹,一发发塞入弹巢。 This time, he does not have to keep the prevention to harm the vacancy of firing again, has not taken off the formal dress coat, takes off half high top hat, must practice by the most ordinary appearance, after all impossible after running into the enemy, encounters the danger, shout „please stop, allowing me first to change a set of facile clothing”. 这一次,他没再留预防误击发的空位,也没有脱掉正装外套,摘下半高礼帽,要以最平常的打扮进行练习,毕竟不可能在遇到敌人、遇到危险后,喊声“请停一下,容我先换套轻便的衣物”。 pā tà! 啪嗒！ Klein closing up rotating disk, with thumb slipping. 克莱恩合拢转轮,用拇指滑转了一下。 Suddenly, his both hands grasp the spear/gun, lifted fiercely straightly, aimed at target 10 meters away. 突然,他双手握枪,猛地笔直抬起,对准了10米外的靶子。 But he does not have anxiously the fire, but recalled earnestly undershoot experiences and 3.1 of military training, open fire to have recoil and other general knowledge. 但他没急着射击,而是认真回想了一遍军训的脱靶经历和三点一线、开枪有后坐力等常识。 Crash-bang! Crash-bang! 哗啦！哗啦！ The clothing pulls in the sound, Klein is practicing the aiming repeatedly, practices to hold to grasp the posture, is earnest seems like child who is in the college entrance examination. 衣物扯动之声里,克莱恩一遍又一遍练习着瞄准,练习着持握姿势,认真得像是个正在高考的孩子。 Repeatedly after repeatedly, he draws back the dependable friend wall the place, sits softly on long long and narrow bench, puts one side the revolver, self-administered massage arm, rest period of time. 反复多次之后,他退至靠墙的地方,坐到软乎乎的长条凳上,将左轮放到一边,自我按摩起手臂,休息了好一阵子。 Spent for several minutes to recall a moment ago, Klein took up wooden grips, the pistol of copper color rotating disk, arrived at the fire position, made the standard posture, touched off the trigger. 花几分钟回想了刚才,克莱恩重新拿起木制握把、铜色转轮的手枪,来到射击位,做出标准的姿势,扣动了扳机。 Bang! 砰！ His arm shook, after the body slightly has supinely, the bullet deviated the target. 他手臂抖了一下,身体略有后仰,子弹偏离了靶子。 Bang! Bang! Bang! 砰！砰！砰！ He who absorbed the experience fires one after another, is trying to find out the feeling in the practice, shoots completely until six bullets. 吸取了经验的他一枪一枪射击,于实践里摸索着感觉,直到六枚子弹全部射完。 Started the target...... Klein to withdraw to sit down, breathed two tones. 开始上靶了……克莱恩重新退后坐下,喘了两口气。 pā! He flings the rotating disk, making that six cartridge cases ding-dong fall to the ground, then the expression invariably will continue surplus brass luster bullet to squeeze. 啪！他甩出转轮,让那六个弹壳当当落地,然后又表情不变地继续将剩余的黄铜色泽子弹一枚枚塞入。 The activity relaxed under the arm, Klein stood up again, summary belonged to the fire position. 活动放松了下手臂,克莱恩再次站起,边总结边归于射击位。 Bang! Bang! Bang! 砰！砰！砰！ The sound of gunfire reverberation, the target shakes, before 30 rounds of normal bullets that Klein practices, rest, will receive , the remaining five rounds of complete antiquings, gradually stabilize on the target, starts to pursue the ring content. 枪声回荡,靶子摇动,克莱恩一次次练习,一次次休息,将领取的三十发正常子弹和之前剩下的五发全部打光,逐渐稳定上靶,开始追求环数。 Flung the sore arm, he final five cartridge cases will pour, the low head, having silver demon hunting bullet of intricate detail squeezes in one after another, and reserved fired the position by mistake. 甩了甩酸痛的胳膊,他将最后五个弹壳倒出,低下脑袋,把有复杂花纹的银色猎魔子弹一枚又一枚塞入,并预留了误击发位。 After the revolver belongs to the armpit hoister, Klein patted gunsmoke dust, brings a relaxedness, went out of the special-purpose target range, returned to the street. 左轮归入腋下枪袋后,克莱恩拍了拍身上的硝烟尘埃,带着一身的轻松,走出了专用靶场,回到了街上。 The sized up feeling appears once again, Klein's was calmer than before, he to Champagne Street, spent 4 pennies to ride axle public carriage to return to Iron Cross Street gradually, entered itself apartment. 被打量的感觉又一次浮现,克莱恩的心情却比之前更加平静,他缓步至香槟街,花费四便士乘坐有轨公共马车返回了铁十字街,进入了自家所住的公寓。 Spies on the feeling silently not to see, he pulls out the key, opens the door, seeing one close to 30, to wear the flax shirt, to keep the man of very short hair to sit before the desk. 窥探感无声无息不见,他掏出钥匙,打开房门,看见一位接近三十、身穿亚麻衬衣、留着很短头发的男子坐在书桌前。 Heart one tight, at once relaxes, the Klein smile greeted: 心头一紧,旋即放松,克莱恩微笑招呼道: „Good morning, no, good afternoon, Benson.” “上午好,不,中午好,班森。” This man is he and Melissa elder brother, Benson Moretti, this year is only 25 years old, because of sending the border line retrocedes, facial features old, seemed like quick 30. 这位男子正是他和梅丽莎的兄长,班森.莫雷蒂,今年才25岁,因发际线后退,面容老相,看起来都快30了。 His black hair brown pupil, has several phase splitting shapes with Klein, but without that light air of scholarly refinement. 他黑发褐瞳,与克莱恩有几分相像,但没那种淡淡的书卷气。 „Good afternoon, does Klein, interview how?” The Benson station, the corners of the mouth revealed the smile. “中午好,克莱恩,面试怎么样？”班森站了起来,嘴角流露出微笑。 His black coat and half high top hat hang in the crest of high and low bed. 他的黑色外套和半高礼帽都挂在高低床的凸出处。 „Is bad.” Klein does not have the expression to reply. “非常差。”克莱恩没有表情地回答道。 Sees with own eyes Benson to be shocked, the Klein chuckle supplemented: 眼见班森愣住,克莱恩轻笑补充: „In fact, I simply have not entered the interview, I found the work ahead of time, the weekly salary 3 pounds......” “事实上,我根本没参加面试,我提前找到了工作,周薪三镑……” Before he, had said to Melissa the words repeated. 他将之前对梅丽莎说过的话语又重复了一遍。 The Benson facial expression relaxes, shakes the head to say with a smile: 班森神情缓和下来,摇头笑道: „Has to plant to see the feeling that the child grows up......, this work is good.” “有种看见孩子长大的感觉……嗯,这份工作还不错。” He sighed: 他叹了口气道: „Rushes about to hear such a good news, is really good, tonight we must celebrate, buys some beef?” “奔波回来就听见这么一个好消息,真是不错,今晚我们得庆祝一下,买些牛肉？” Klein said with a smile: 克莱恩笑道: „Good, but I think that Melissa will love dearly. In the afternoon do we purchase the food together? Takes at least 3 shilling? To be honest, 1 pound trades 20 shilling, 1 shilling trades 12 pennies, half-penny, 1/4 pennies, such monetary system violates the intuition simply, is troublesome, I think that it certainly is one of the world's stupidest monetary systems.” “好的,但我想梅丽莎会心疼的。下午我们一起去购买食材？带上至少三苏勒？呃,老实说,一镑换20苏勒,一苏勒换12便士,还有半便士,四分之一便士,这样的币制简直违背直觉,非常麻烦,我想它一定是世界上最愚蠢的币制之一。” Then, he sees the Benson expression one to become serious, is a little immediately disturbed, suspected own whether speaking incorrectly words. 说完,他看见班森的表情一下变得严肃,顿时有点忐忑,怀疑自己是否说错话了。 In the memory fragment of could it be that original self defect, Benson is pure, can't the extreme kingdom supporter, accommodate others denial? 难道原主缺失的记忆碎片里,班森是纯粹的、极端的王国拥护者,容不得别人一点否定？ Benson walked slowly and aimlessly several steps, serious refuted: 班森踱了几步,一脸严肃地反驳道: „No, does not have one.” “不,没有之一。” One...... Klein had not gawked staring, responded quickly, looked at each other to smile with the Elder Brother. 没有之一……克莱恩愣了愣,很快反应过来,与哥哥相视而笑。 Really is taunt that Benson excels is humorous. 果然是班森擅长的嘲讽式幽默。 The Benson corners of the mouth go up, added seriously: 班森嘴角上翘,一本正经地补充道: „You should understand, must formulate a reasonable and simple monetary system needs a premise, that understood to count, grasped the decimal base, what a pity, in these influential figure, such talent was too scarce.” “你应该明白,要制定一个合理又简单的币制需要一个前提,那就是懂得数数,掌握了十进制,可惜,在那些大人物里面,这样的人才太稀少了。”
