不管细节如何,郝仁这帮外来的不速之客是在暮光之都引发了一场巨大的混乱而有的时候,“混乱”是一种解决问题的必要手段。为了能顺利抵达城市的最深处,验证薇薇安的某个猜测,搞明白这座暮光之都的运行机制,郝仁需要一场混乱,好把所有麻烦都集中在上城区的大平台上。

刺耳的汽笛声还在持续不断地响起,陆陆续续又有更多的暮光守卫响应召唤来到上城区,在防卫部队的负责人看来,这次的事件已经走向诡异且匪夷所思的方向,并且整个局面都正在渐渐失控。最高指挥们想破头也不明白为什么城市里会突然冒出一支如此强大的动乱势力,而且这股动乱势力还跟一个刚刚从黑暗旷野返回的寻光者纠缠在一起。In the pastmanyyears, thiscityhas been maintaining the quitepeacefulaspect, althoughalwayshasthis and thatissueresource shortage, equipment failure, mineaccident, even the most serioustimecauldronhas had a partialfire, no matterbutwhichissueat leastisunderstandsclearly, the experts can always speedilyfind the issueroot. But the turmoilinfluence that thistime, in the citybravessuddenlyis indecipherable.
在过去的很多年里,这座城市一直维持着相当和平的局面,尽管总有这样那样的问题资源短缺,设备故障,矿场事故,甚至最严重的时候大锅炉都发生过一次局部火灾,但不管哪次问题都至少是清晰明了的,专家学者们总能迅速找到问题根源。而这次,城市里突然冒出来的动乱势力根本无法解释。
The pressurecannot investigate thoroughlytheirorigin, thiseventalsohas no omen.
压根查不到他们的来历,这次事件也没有任何预兆。Mosttracks and platforms in Shangcheng Districthave been a curfew, upside two giantgear clusterssituated ineveninglightexudes the heavybellow, the giantsteamcolumneruptsfrom the gear cluster, the operating speed of whole setmachineryalsoslows downgradually. The cauldronis reducingstrives, thisistoprevent the threatspreadstothatimportantcentralpressure piping: Once the cauldronwere attackedandexploded, causes the harm that to the cityisunquantifiable.
上城区的大部分轨道和平台都已经处于戒严状态,位于暮光之都中上部的两座巨型齿轮组发出沉重的轰鸣声,巨大的蒸汽柱从齿轮组内喷发出来,整套机械的运转速度随之渐渐减缓。大锅炉正在降低出力,这是为了防止威胁蔓延到那至关重要的中央压力管道:一旦大锅炉被攻击并爆炸,对城市造成的危害将是难以估量的。In order toavoidthisdanger, the eveninglighthasoneemergencyplan, for the centralpressure pipingdecompression is a point.
为了避免这种危险,暮光之都自有一套紧急方案,为中央压力管道泄压便是其中一环。Near the topplatform, the fiercefightwas still continuing, the reinforcementsfromvariouscityplaceshas built up70%in the past, howevertheystillcannottake care of the threat. Looks to see that to the direction of bigelevatorthereis braving the intermittentgunsmoke, the bellow that the artilleryexplodesto transmitunceasinglyindistinctly.
在顶层平台附近,激烈的战斗仍然在持续着,来自城市各处的援军已经集结过去70%,然而他们仍然没能解决威胁。向大升降机的方向望去可以看到那里正冒起阵阵硝烟,火炮爆炸的轰鸣声不断隐约传来。Near the cauldron of Shangcheng District, in a Fang Tower of steelcasting, the higher commander who the leaders and eveninglight of steamparliamentguardis studying the information that „frontline”transmits, on a baldandsinglearmandeyemounted the man of mechanicalset of lensesjustto arrive atthisplace, hebrought the latest news: „The tactic of enemyis changeable, moreovertheyhave the deformability, now a thatabovesituationconfusion, evendoes not have the meansto count the exactpopulationandtheirappearanceshape of opponent. Perhapsthesefellows have the strength of summonillusory image, inthemmusthave the powerfulsorcerer: The scenehas the summonlifeforminvestmentfight, thismakes the informationmore chaotic.”
在上城区的大锅炉附近,一座钢铁铸造的方塔中,蒸汽议会的领袖和暮光守卫的高级指挥官正在研究“前线”传来的情报,一个光头、单臂、眼睛上镶嵌着机械透镜组的男人刚刚到达此地,他带来了最新的消息:“敌人的战术变化多端,而且他们具备变形能力,现在那上面的局势一片混乱,甚至没办法统计对手的确切人数和他们的样貌形态。那些家伙恐怕还有召唤幻影的力量,他们中应当存在强大的巫师:现场有召唤生物投入战斗,这让情报更加混乱。”„Where do thesefellowsfrombrave?” The speaker of steamparliament, a lookseriousmiddle-aged womanis knitting the browsto ask, „Ihearsome not goodrumor, it is saidcontactedwhatantiquitydescendanton.”
“这些家伙是从哪冒出来的?”蒸汽议会的议长,一名神色严肃的中年女性皱着眉问道,“我听到一些不好的传言,据说跟什么上古后裔联系上了。”Sits a thinmanin the shadow of roomcorner, thismanpackagesoneselfcompletelyin a blackshortrobe, almostmustintegratein the surroundingdarkness, hisvoicehoarseopened the mouth: „Thisis not the rumor, is the judgment of scholar. The snakemust blame, the greatwolf, the flamegiant, theircharacteristicsbasically agreedwith the ancientlegend, nowlooks like, duskinfortunately survivedfromvariousGodnot, only thenourtheyalsolived, and has hiddeninourcity.”
在房间角落的阴影中坐着一个身材消瘦的男人,这个男人把自己完全包裹在一身黑色的短袍里,几乎要融入周围的黑暗中,他嗓音嘶哑地开口了:“这不是传言,是学者的判断。蛇怪,巨狼,火焰巨人,他们的特征与古代传说基本一致,现在看来,从诸神黄昏里幸存下来的并不只有我们他们也活了下来,而且一直就隐藏在我们的城市里。”
The people in roomhearthese words unable to bearhold breathcold air, variousmore negativesuspicionsthenwell upendlessly.
房间里的众人听到这句话忍不住纷纷倒吸一口凉气,各种更加负面的猜想便层出不穷地涌出来。Then, the chaoticwarinelevator landingwas passed to the managerear of city, totallydoes not depend on the brain of carelesslyboundaryto make upinonegroup of people, is gradually evolving a more grotesque and gaudierappearance.
就这样,发生在升降机平台上的混乱战局被传到城市的管理者耳中,在一群人完全不靠边际的胡乱脑补下,正逐渐演变成更加光怪陆离的模样。But the participant of thistangled warfareactuallydoes not knowthisfrom the start.
可是这场混战的参与者却压根不知道这点。Lilyis frisking and scamperinghitsRollto run all over the placebefore the defense line of eveninglight/onlyguards, after changing the body , her fur/superficial knowledge can definitely resist the attack of commonarms, occasionallywas poundedto loveherthento calltwothroatsby the mightoversizedartillery, instigatesto return tosideNangong Wuyueto accepttreatment in the psychological and physiology, turns headto change a vicious dogagain;Y’zaksis throwing the bigfireballtoward the flank of elevator landingunceasingly, makesoneto prepareto open an appearance of pathforcefully, healmostattracted60%hatreds;Anthonyfloatsinin the air, the sidesurroundsis being similar to the starscommonarcanesmall ballsimply, thensuppressed the eveninglightbyone's effortcompletely the elitestwitchdivision, moreoverheabsolutelydid not haveto be earnest......莉莉正撒着欢地在暮光守卫们的防线前打滚乱跑,变身之后她那一身皮毛完全可以抵抗寻常枪炮的攻击,偶尔被威力过大的火炮砸疼了她便嗷嗷地叫两嗓子,怂回到南宫五月身边接受一下心理和生理上的治疗,扭头就再度变回一条猛犬;伊扎克斯不断朝升降机平台的侧翼扔着大火球,做出一副准备强行打开一条通路的模样,他几乎吸引了百分之六十的仇恨;安东尼漂浮在空中,身边环绕着简直如同繁星一般的奥术小球,以一己之力便完全压制了暮光之都最精锐的巫师团,而且他还完全没有认真起来……Butcompared withthesevast momentumfellows, goldenbig dragonGalazurmostletseveninglightguardsunmatchableexistence.

而比起这些声势浩大的家伙,金色巨龙加拉卓尔才是最让暮光守卫们无法对抗的存在。龙后此刻已经化为原形,她起先兴致勃勃地跟暮光守卫们的防空火力较量了一番,随后便意识到这种飞在天上给人当移动靶的行为真的很傻(更主要的原因是翅膀根脆弱,防空炮弹打上去真的会掉血!),于是她干脆拍拍翅膀转头坐在了平台边缘的一座黑色巨塔上,这座塔很显然是个至关重要而又脆弱的设施,暮光守卫的重炮对这边投鼠忌器,士兵们只能用威力有限的火枪对加拉卓尔进行攻击,龙后一看这个情况顿时就心安了:她往那一蹲,用翅膀直接把脑袋抱住,眼观鼻鼻观口口观心,这时候刚睡到第二觉……Althoughthisis very uncouth, butto the goldenbig dragon, this is really the most effectiveprotectionposture, holdsto squatagainstDragon Queen is almost an invulnerabilityfortress, hersucholdgod in the placeownmost strikingposition of cardin the entirebattlefield, unceasingly the eveninglight/onlysubsidiary troops'firsteyes that will catch up withfromothercityplacesbythisshininghugelifeformshifting the attention.
虽然这很不雅观,但对黄金巨龙而言,这真的是最有效的防护姿势,抱头蹲防的龙后几乎就是个刀枪不入的堡垒,她就这么老神在在地把自己卡在整个战场上最醒目的位置,不断从城市其他地方赶来的暮光援军第一眼就会被这个金灿灿的巨大生物给转移了注意力。Thereforeno onerealizedradicallythisdefense linehad actually been broken through.
于是根本没人意识到这条防线其实已经被突破了。In the ancientlift pin, Hao Ren, Vivianas well asWindleare going toXiacheng Districtfast.
在古老的升降机竖井中,郝仁、薇薇安以及温德尔三人正在快速前往下城区。
The fightsound that transmitsfrom the cityhas gone far away, explosive sound that occasionallyhearsindistinctlyremotelooks likefromanotherworld.
从城市上层传来的战斗声音已经远去,偶尔隐隐约约传来的爆炸声遥远的就像是来自另一个世界。Fordoes not arouse the vigilance that the cityguards, Hao Rentheyhave not started the transport vehicle in channel, butmadeMobile Data Terminalenterin the shaftthrough an air ventdirectly, threepeople that latertransmittedthenflewdirectlyalong the shaft: Has the Vivianhelp, thisflightisverysimple.
为了不引起城市守卫的警觉,郝仁他们没有启动通道里的运输设备,而是直接让数据终端通过一条通风孔钻进了竖井里,随后传送进来的三人便直接沿着竖井飞下去:有薇薇安帮助,这种飞行是很简单的。Theyinthisancienttoinconceivable, in as ifthree-dimensionallabyrinthequallycomplexcity„submergence”, the sceneryfeelsalong the wayis similar togoes throughin a grotesque and gaudydreamland.

他们正在这座古老到不可思议的、仿佛立体迷宫一样复杂的城市中“下潜”,沿途景色给人的感觉就如同穿行在一场光怪陆离的梦境中。这座城市随着年月而不断向上堆叠,连接着上城区和下城区的升降机通道便也跟着日月不停地堆叠起来,曾经的上城区变成下城区,曾经的升降平台也被拆除改造成为新的通道支架,于是便留下了一个个层次分明的堆叠带:就如同岩层间的化石标本一样,升降机通道里保存着这座城市的历史轨迹。Thisshaftis broad, the wholeassumes the circular, the wallwithgoes to an citymore ancientregionwith the steelsupportunceasingly, initsmaterial qualitygraduallypresented the rockandsomeiron greyartificial material.

这竖井非常宽阔,整体呈正圆形,井壁用钢铁支撑随着不断前往城市更古老的区域,其材质中又逐渐出现了岩石和某种灰白色的人造材料。整个井壁并不是密封的,而是到处都可以看到巨大的开口和缝隙,有一些是专门给人员出入的通道,还有一些则纯粹是建筑结构产生的开裂。粗大的黑钢管道纵横交错地贴在井壁上,管道的安全气阀中时不时喷出一股蒸汽,在竖井的有些区域里,这些蒸汽甚至形成了持续性的云层乃至于小范围的降雨,这现象让郝仁啧啧称奇。„Underlift trunkis the Miltonlake,”Windlewas introducing the secret of thiscitymostdeep place, „incityallsteamcongeal the water, finallywill return to the Miltonlake.”
“升降机通道下面就是弥尔顿湖,”温德尔在介绍着这座城市最深处的秘密,“城市里所有的蒸汽凝结成水,最终都会回到弥尔顿湖里去。”Hao Renun, Vivianslowed down the speed of dropat this time, hecansee clearly the surroundingsituationclearly.

“那是生活在轮机房的种族,世世代代维护下面的压力管道和轴承组,不知道是从什么时候开始,他们便不再离开轮机房了,许多代以后他们就变成这样,”温德尔尽着向导的责任,“曾经也是人类,但学者认为他们现在……”„Noworhuman,”Viviansaid,„youwere strandedinthissmallbox, withoutdifference.”
“现在还是人类,”薇薇安说道,“你们都被困在这个小盒子里,没有区别。”
After continuingdroppedmet, Windlebreakssilent: „Wearrived inXiacheng District.”( To be continued.)
继续下降了一会之后,温德尔打破沉默:“我们到下城区了。”(未完待续。)
