plop! plop! plop! 噗通！噗通！噗通！ The Klein's heart suddenly starts to beat fiercely, it contracts one group, fiercely the ballooning, making the body also follow to shiver slightly. 克莱恩的心脏突然开始剧烈跳动,它收缩成一团,又猛地鼓胀,让身体也跟着轻微颤抖起来。 Has flash that he almost forgot oneself must make anything, should make anything, has the stop until that infiltrator form suddenly, the slightly side ear, as if heard anything to change. 有那么一瞬间,他几乎忘记了自己要做什么,该做什么,直到那潜入者的身影忽有停顿,微侧耳朵,仿佛听见了什么变化。 „Blood” drops from the brain, Klein restored the basic elaborative faculty, touched the hand to the pillow, gripped the wooden stock of that revolver. “血液”从脑部回落,克莱恩恢复了基本的思考能力,将手摸向了枕头底下,握住了那把左轮的木制枪柄。 The hard and smooth touch transmits, his rapidly is calm, the movement affable and silent extracted the pistol, aimed at the head of infiltrator. 坚硬而光滑的触感传来,他的情绪迅速稳定,动作舒缓而无声地将手枪抽出,对准了潜入者的头部。 To be honest, he to oneself whether to hit the opposite party not to grasp, although has been able to stabilize on the target before, the person and fixed target that but move are the entirely different concepts, he did not have to confusing both's degree arrogantly. 老实说,他对自己能否击中对方毫无把握,虽然之前已能稳定上靶,但活动的人和固定的靶是截然不同的概念,他还没自大到混淆两者的程度。 However, he remembers vaguely past life a few words, the general meaning is, the nuclear bomb maximum might only exists before it launches. 不过,他依稀记得上辈子的一句话,大概意思是,核弹最大的威力只存在于它发射之前。 In this time this environment, the truth was the same, the best deterrent before the bullet projected! 在这个时候这个环境下,道理是相同的,最好的威慑在子弹射出之前！ Does not rouse the trigger, does not fire blindly, the opposite party will not determine oneself are rookies, possibly does not hit enormously he, he will worry, he will dread, he will consider many, oneself add on the fetter to oneself! 不勾动扳机,不盲目击发,对方就不会确定自己是菜鸟,极大可能打不中他,他会担心,他会畏惧,他会考虑很多,以至于自己给自己加上束缚！ In an instant, ideas appeared, making Klein have the resolution immediately, he was not more critical a calmer that person, but had estimated the scene that encountered the observer, it is expected that crossed is primarily threatening non- attacks. 刹那之间,一个又一个想法浮现了出来,让克莱恩立刻有了决断,他并非越危急越冷静的那种人,而是早就预想过遭遇监视者的场景,预想过以恐吓非攻击为主。 The big glutton state-owned sentence idiom is, preparedness averts peril! 大吃货国有句成语是,有备无患！ When the Klein's muzzle aims at infiltrator, that thin man stiffens suddenly, as if induced anything. 当克莱恩的枪口对准潜入者时,那位瘦削的男子霍然僵住,似乎感应到了什么。 He heard a sound that holds the chuckle: 紧接着,他听见了一道含着轻笑的声音: „This mister, good evening.” “这位先生,晚上好。” Both hands of thin man grip quietly, the body seems ties tight, Klein sits in the high and low bed lower berth, is looking at his head with the spear/gun, the tone was as far as possible leisurely and carefree and naturally said: 瘦削男子的双手悄然握住,身体似有紧绷,克莱恩坐在高低床下铺,用枪瞄着他的头部,语气尽量悠闲而自然道: „Please raise both hands, has transferred the body, as far as possible slowly, honestly speaking, I am timid, easy tense person, if your speed is too fast, I will be frightened, cannot guarantee that does not appear harms the situation of firing, right, is this.” “请您举起双手,转过身体,尽量慢一点,坦白地讲,我是个胆小的、容易紧张的人,如果您速度太快,我会被吓到的,不敢保证不出现误击发的情况,对,就是这样。” Thin male both hands partly lift by the head, little turning around body, what takes the lead to map Klein pupils is the knot neat black leotard, is two thick sharp brownish yellow eyebrows. 瘦削男子双手半举于脑袋旁边,一点点转过了身体,率先映入克莱恩眼眸的是扣子整齐的黑色紧身衣,然后才是两条浓密锋锐的棕黄眉毛。 Klein cannot see the fear from his deep blue eye, on the contrary some types by the feeling that the fierce wild animal observes closely, as if oneself is not careful, will pounce upon suddenly by the opposite party, rips the fragment. 克莱恩从他蔚蓝的眼睛里看不出害怕,反倒有种被凶恶野兽盯住的感觉,似乎自己一个不小心,就会被对方猛扑过来,撕成碎片。 He gripped the hand of rifle butt to tighten, made own expression calm strongly and indifferent. 他握住枪把的手紧了紧,竭力让自身的表情从容而淡然。 Until that thin man to oneself, he was raising the chin completely, aims at the entrance, said gently temperately: 直到那位瘦削男子完全正对自身,他才扬了扬下巴,指向门口,轻柔温和地说道: „Mister, we go out to discuss that do not disturb others' fond dream, un, the movement, the footsteps are slowly lighter, this is a gentry most basic politeness......” “先生,我们出去谈吧,不要打扰到别人的美梦,嗯,动作慢一点,脚步轻一些,这是一位绅士最基本的礼貌……” The thin man's callous pupil rotation, swept Klein one, partly raises both hands as before, moved toward the entrance step by step. 瘦削男子冷酷的眸子转动,扫了克莱恩一眼,依旧半举双手,一步一步走向了门口。 Under the aiming of revolver, he twists the hand, opens the door slowly. 在左轮的瞄准下,他拧动把手,缓慢开门。 In the door is ajar, he underground squats suddenly, forward tumbling, but the front door seems like by the strong winds is drawn, kuāng dāng, closes up. 就在房门半开之时,他忽地下蹲,向前翻滚,而大门像是被狂风拉动,哐当一声,重新合拢。 „Un......” Benson of upper berth was startled by this giant sound, blurry, will soon wake up. “嗯……”上铺的班森被这巨大的动静惊到,迷迷糊糊,即将醒来。 At this time, had the melodious and tranquil melody spreads from outside, together the low and deep and affable voice recited: 这时,有悠扬而宁静的旋律从外面传入,一道低沉而舒缓的嗓音吟唱道: „ Oh, the fear of danger and the hope of scarlet! “啊，恐惧的威胁，绯红的希冀！ At least one thing is certain: that life flies. 起码一事是真:此生飞逝。 One thing is certain, and the rest are lies, 一事是真啊,其余皆谎, The flower that once has blown forever dies...... ” ( 1 ) 花开一度后将与世长辞……”(注1) This poetry as if has to relax with the stable strength, Benson and inside room of upper berth Melissa and the others in rested blurry. 这诗歌似乎具有让人放松和安定的力量,上铺的班森和里间的梅丽莎等人迷迷糊糊又睡了过去。 The Klein body and mind is tranquil, nearly had a yawn. 克莱恩身心皆是宁静,险些打了个哈欠。 The movement that thin man got rid of a moment ago is so quick, he responded unexpectedly without enough time. 刚才那位瘦削男子摆脱的动作是如此敏捷,他竟来不及反应。 Is looking at the front door of closing up, he shows a faint smile, thought aloud: 望着合拢的大门,他微微一笑,自言自语道: „Said you possibly not to believe that my round was actually a blank.” “说出来你可能不信,我这发其实是空弹。” The protection harms the blank of firing! 防备误击发的空弹！ Then, Klein listened attentively to the midnight poem, the patience is waiting for outside fight end. 接下来,克莱恩倾听着午夜的诗篇,耐心等待起外面的战斗结束。 However one minute, that peaceful stops like the melody of moonlight lake surface, night restored the deepest silence. 不过一分钟,那安宁如同月光湖面的旋律停止,黑夜又恢复了最深沉的寂静。 The Klein silent glide rotating disk, puts aside the vacancy, is waiting for the result presents. 克莱恩无声滑动转轮,将空位移开,等待着结果的呈现。 This first-grade is ten minutes, is on nettles when him, hesitates must go out to nose, the entrance finally broadcast Dunn Smith that calm moderate sound: 这一等就是十分钟,就在他忐忑不安,犹豫着要不要出去查探时,门口终于传来了邓恩.史密斯那沉稳温和的声音: „Solution.” “解决了。” Hū, Klein sighed, raised the revolver, with the key, is red the both feet, close to the entrance, opened the door cautiously silently, saw the black windproof coat and knee and half high top hat, grey pupils profound Dunn Smith stands in the opposite safely. 呼,克莱恩吐了口气,提好左轮,拿上钥匙,赤着双脚,小心翼翼地靠近门口,无声无息地开门而出,看见黑色风衣及膝、半高礼帽安然、灰色眼眸幽深的邓恩.史密斯站在对面。 The backhand closes, he follows Dunn to arrive at the corridor end, stands in weak scarlet moonlight. 反手关门,他跟着邓恩来到走廊尽头,站立于微弱的绯红月光里。 „Wasted some time to enter in his dream.” Dunn looks at out of the window that to turn scarlet moon, said calmly. “浪费了些时间进入他的梦里。”邓恩望着窗外那轮红月,语气平静地说道。 „Knew his origin?” Klein relaxed much. “知道他的来历了？”克莱恩放松了不少。 The Dunn slight nod said: 邓恩微微点头道: „Named ‚Secret Religious Order’ ancient organization, they establish in fourth era, with Solomon Empire, was related with some corruption of the nobles at that time , Antigonus family notebook originates from them, because of a negligence of member, enters the antiques market, was obtained by Welch, they have to send people to track down everywhere.” “一个叫做‘密修会’的古老组织,他们建立于第四纪,和所罗门帝国,和当时部分堕落贵族有关,呵,安提哥努斯家族的笔记正是来源于他们,因为一位成员的疏忽,才进入古物市场,被韦尔奇得到,他们不得不派人到处追寻。” Does not wait for Klein to ask, he stopped under also said: 不等克莱恩发问,他停了下又道: „We according to the clue, will arrest their some members reverse, un, may not have the good result, these fellows are skilled to hide like the mouse in sewer, but at least they therefore understand, Antigonus family notebook may be very obtained by us, or had the key clue, in that case, so long as is not very essential very important item, they will totally give up this action, this is their survival philosophy.” “我们会根据线索,反向抓捕他们的部分成员,嗯,不一定会有太好的结果,这些家伙就像下水道里的老鼠一样精于躲藏,但至少他们会因此明白,安提哥努斯家族的笔记很可能已经被我们得到,或者说掌握了关键线索,那样一来,只要不是非常关键非常重要的物品,他们都会彻底放弃这个行动,这是他们的生存哲学。” „......, if notebook is essential is important?” Klein worries to ask. “……如果笔记非常关键非常重要呢？”克莱恩担忧问道。 Dunn smiles had not replied, instead said: 邓恩笑笑没回答,反而说道: „Regarding ‚Secret Religious Order’, few that we know, this time can succeed, was lucky your cleverness, this is your merit, considered again possible the danger that hides, as well as after spiritual sense enhances, to seeking for the help of notebook, you have the opportunity that chooses one time.” “对于‘密修会’,我们知道的很少,这次能获得成功,多亏了你的机灵,这是属于你的一份功劳,再考虑到可能的、潜藏的危险,以及灵感提高后,对寻找笔记的帮助,你有一次选择的机会。” „Opportunity of choice?” Klein guessed correctly anything indistinctly, the breath subconsciously becomes heavy. “选择的机会？”克莱恩隐约猜到了什么,呼吸都下意识变重。 The Dunn restraining smile, the expression gravely and said seriously: 邓恩收敛笑容,表情庄重而严肃道: „Do you want to become Extraordinary? Only can never in complete sequence Extraordinary of choice outset.” “你希望成为一位非凡者吗？只能从不完整序列里挑选起始的非凡者。” „Naturally, you can also let go this opportunity, the choice save the merit, when it makes you Sleepless sufficiently, is initial of night guardian Goddess bestows, complete sequence outset that church grasps.” “当然,你也可以放弃这次机会,选择积攒功劳,等到它足以让你成为‘不眠者’,也就是女神亲赐的黑夜守卫的最初,教会掌握的完整序列的起始。” Really...... Klein heart one happy, temporarily has not had the hesitant mood, asked on own initiative: 果然……克莱恩心头一喜,暂时未出现犹豫的情绪,主动问道: „Can I Sequence Nine ’ in choose from which ‚?” “那我能从哪些‘序列9’里面挑选？” Must have the detailed information, can determine gives up, accepts, as well as which chooses specifically! 总得有详细的情报,才能确定是放弃,还是接受,以及具体选择哪个！ Dunn has transferred the body, is throwing over crimson of sprinkling „fine gauze”, the looks at Klein's eyes, said slowly: 邓恩转过身体,披着洒落的绯红“轻纱”,看着克莱恩的双眼,缓缓说道: „Besides Sleepless, church also three types ‚Sequence Nine’ magical medicine formula, one type called Inquisitor of Secrets, was the ability that Old Neil mastered , Roseanne should raise to you, she always cannot provide lodging oneself mouth.” “除了不眠者,教会还有三种‘序列9’的魔药配方,一种叫‘窥秘人’,也就是老尼尔掌握的能力,呵,罗珊应该对你提起过,她总是管不住自己的嘴巴。” Klein smiles awkwardly, does not know how should reply, Dunn has not cared luckily , to continue saying: 克莱恩尴尬一笑,不知道该怎么回答,幸好邓恩并未在意,继续说道: „Our Inquisitor of Secrets magical medicine formula and does not connect some following ’ obtains from ‚Order of Moska, at that time, they had not degenerated it is said that but also was insisting the morals and discipline, were insisting the pursue to the knowledge, and strict hush-hush, every enrollee, after to become Inquisitor of Secrets, needs the prohibited language five years, the learned is silent, with the aim of practicing and enhancement concentrates on, ‚acts in a self-serving manner, but do not hurt’ this Inquisitor of Secrets maxim from their biographies.” “我们的‘窥秘人’魔药配方和不连接的部分后续是从‘摩斯苦修会’得到的,那时候,他们据说还没有堕落,还坚持着道德和戒律,坚持着对知识的追求,并严格守秘,凡是入会者,在成为‘窥秘人’后,都要禁语五年,学会静默,以便修行和提高专注,‘为所欲为,但勿伤害’这句‘窥秘人’格言就是从他们那里传出来的。” „Inquisitor of Secrets and other in the mysterious knowledge has comprehensively at the magic, witchcraft, astrology divination, but preliminary understanding and grasping, understands many magical ceremony, but very easy sensation to hidden behind thing certain exists, must be cautious, to extraordinary strength awe-stricken.” “‘窥秘人’在魔法、巫术、占星术等神秘知识上有着全面但初步的了解与掌握,懂得不少仪式魔法,但很容易感知到隐藏于事物背后的某些存在,必须小心翼翼,对非凡力量充满敬畏。” „We lack this sequence majority, perhaps the scattered string inadequate chain, for example, its Sequence Eight, naturally, ‚Sacred Hall’ has.” “我们缺乏这个序列的大部分,以至于零散串不成链条,比如,它的序列8,当然,或许‘圣堂’有。” This almost meets all my requirements...... the Klein slight nod, has the impulsion of choice. 这几乎符合我一切的要求……克莱恩微微点头,有选择的冲动。 Fortunately, he still remembers other thing: 还好,他还记得别的东西: „Another two types?” “另外两种呢？” „ The second type called Corpse Collector, southern continent that help/gang the evil cult disciple who worshipped Death God had many people to choose it, after taking this magical medicine, will take for by the dead spirit of no wisdom similar avoids to attack, can endure patiently cold and rotten and corrosion of death aura, can see some evil spirits directly, understood many undead lifeform characteristics and weakness, as well as obtained enhancements in some physical qualities, we had its following Sequence Eight “第二种叫‘收尸人’,南大陆那帮崇拜死神的邪教徒有不少人选择它,服用这种魔药后,会被无智慧的亡灵误认为同类而免遭袭击,能忍耐寒冷、腐烂和死亡气息的侵蚀,能直接看见部分恶灵,了解诸多不死生物的特点和弱点,以及获得一些身体素质上的提高,我们拥有它后续的序列8 With Sequence Seven, hehe, its Sequence Seven you should be able to guess correctly, Spiritualist! This was the Daly initial choice. ” Dunn quite described in detail. 和序列7,呵呵,它的序列7你应该能猜到,‘通灵者’！这是戴莉当初的选择。”邓恩颇为详细地描述道。 Spiritualist seems like truly mystical and very dazzles, however, what I most want is to the mysticism knowledge grasps...... Klein not to interrupt, calmly is listening. “通灵者”看起来确实又神秘又酷炫,然而,我最想要的是对神秘学知识的掌握……克莱恩没有插言,静静听着。 Dunn Smith side looked at scarlet moonlight saying: 邓恩.史密斯侧头望了眼绯红月光道: „Third we only have Sequence Nine, ‚does Sacred Hall’ have conceals other, I am not clear, it is called Divinator.” “第三种我们只有序列9,‘圣堂’有没有藏着别的,我就不清楚了,它叫做‘占卜家’。” Divinator? Klein pupil micro, thinks Great Emperor Russell in the regret in the diary being: 占卜家？克莱恩瞳孔微缩,想到了罗塞尔大帝在日记里留下的遗憾: he regreted that he hadn't picked the Apprentice, Thief or Divinator! 他后悔当初没在学徒、偷盗者和占卜家之中选择！ Note 1: Reorganization from Edward.
