„Welcome! Knightfromdifferent.”
“欢迎!来自异界的骑士。”These words, are the Leonard’sprologue.
这句话,便是雷纳德的开场白。Moreover, aspointed outRey Mingkai'soriginstatusdemonstration of authoritydirectly.
而且,还是作为直接点明了雷明凯的来历身份的下马威。Lies the white cateyesonRey Mingkaishouldernarrows the eyesslightly, in the middle of the goldenpupilpassesis beingcoldsevere the ray. As ifso long asRey Mingkaisends out the signal, white catzerowill rise with a spring, thishas seen through the Rey Mingkaistatusyoungsterkillingat present.
趴在雷明凯肩膀上的白猫双眼微微眯起,金色的瞳孔当中流转着是一道道冷厉的光芒。仿佛只要雷明凯一发出信号,白猫零式就会一跃而起,将眼前这个已经识破了雷明凯身份的少年给干掉。Rey Mingkailifted the handto tap the white catzero-typesmallheadgently, hinteditto be patient.雷明凯轻轻抬手拍了拍白猫零式的小脑袋,示意它稍安勿躁。Afterward, Rey Mingkaiput out a Zhang Mingpostcard, losesconveniently.
随后,雷明凯拿出了一张明信片,随手一丢。Thatpostcardthenhits the change of sceneto delimit the midair, fellonLeonardnearbydesktop.
那明信片便打着转地划过半空,落在了雷纳德旁边的桌面上。„Is thischeap trick you make the persondo?”
“这个小把戏是你让人干的?”Whatinthispostcardwritesis not the earth-shakingcontent, butdecides the goodtimeplace. However, thisZhang Mingpostcardappears, whenRey Mingkaiat present, Rey Mingkaiactuallyfeels a threat.
这明信片上所写着的并不是什么惊天动地的内容,只是一个约定好的时间地点。但是,这张明信片出现在雷明凯眼前的时候,雷明凯却感觉到一股威胁。ThisisRey Mingkaiwhenprocessing the betrayingsquad of back side of the mountainthatcrowd of amalgam, is on vacation from school the plover that goes home to withoftenPanYukikoofferin the clown who in the middle ofcar(riage)Zhanqian Plazaruns intopersonally. Juststarted, withoutresponding the plovermustregard the present that the businessactivitybestowed.
这是雷明凯在处理后山那群汞合金的叛离小队时,放学回家的千鸟要和常盘恭子在车站前广场当中所遇到的小丑亲手奉上的。刚开始,没有反应过来的千鸟要只是当成了商家活动所赠送的礼品。However, in the plovermustseein the postcardis printing the instance of Knightthisword, realizesanythingimmediately, towedoftenPanYukikoinsanely the generalround tripto runwithout delayimmediately, at the maximum speedflushedreturns to the middle of the school, withbeing aboutto leaveRey Mingkai of school, Euphemiaand the othershit.
但是,在千鸟要看到明信片上所印着的骑士这个单词的瞬间,立刻意识到了什么,二话不说顿时拖着常盘恭子疯了一般往回跑,以最快的速度冲回学校当中,与准备离开学校的雷明凯,尤菲米娅等人撞了个正着。Therefore, the ploverwanted the postcard on handalsoto arrive in the Rey Mingkaihandlike this.
于是,千鸟要手上的明信片也就这样到了雷明凯手中。
The words that but, thinkstoward the faultthismatter, thatbewilderedclowndoes not give the ploverto take a Zhang Mingpostcard, butis a rope, the words of rope the plovermustkidnap, Rey Mingkaiwill not standnowhere.
可,把这个事情往坏处想的话,那个莫名其妙的小丑并不是递给千鸟要一张明信片,而是一条绳索,一条将千鸟要绑走的绳索的话,雷明凯现在就不会站在这里了。„Thisis a cheap trick. Does not need is so anxious! Knightyour excellency. Ihave no intentionto harmthatgirl. Underpondering, only thencananynot be affectedto inviteyouthroughthatgirl.”
“这不过是一个小把戏而已。没必要如此紧张!骑士阁下。我无意伤害那个女孩。只是,在左思右想之下,也只有通过那个女孩才能不受任何影响地邀请你而已。”
The Leonarddanglingvision, looked atonethatto fall the postcardondesktopsmiles.雷纳德垂下目光,看了一眼那张落在桌面上的明信片轻轻一笑。„Idid not thinkthisiswhatcheap trick. MR. AGyour excellency.”
“我可不觉得这是什么小把戏。MR.AG阁下。”
After Rey Mingkaitapped the white catzero-typesmallheadagain, then the starting to walkfootsteps, graduallymove towardLeonard.雷明凯再次拍了拍白猫零式的小脑袋后,便迈开脚步,一步步地走向雷纳德。„To me, thisperhapsis a demonstration, perhapsis a war declaration.”
“对于我来说,这或许是一次示威,也或许是一封战书。”AsRey Mingkai'sapproaches, the smiling face on Leonardfaceeven morewas also thick.
随着雷明凯的靠近,雷纳德脸上的笑容也越发地浓了。„No, Knightyour excellency. Perhapsyouunderstoodwrong. This, butis an invitation letter. Fromfilling with the curiosity, wantswith the invitation letter of good intentionsyouhave the friendship.”
“不,骑士阁下。或许你理解错了。这,只不过是一封邀请信而已。一封来自满怀好奇心,想要与你结下友谊的善意者的邀请信而已。”„Has the friendship?”
“结下友谊?”
The Leonard’sviewmadeRey Mingkaistop the footsteps, simultaneouslycoldsnort/hum.雷纳德的说法让雷明凯停下了脚步,同时冷哼了一声。„Idid not think that canhavewhatfriendshipwithyou.”
“我并不觉得会与你结下什么友谊。”Nowstandpoint of both sides is almost the life and deathaspect.
现在双方的立场几乎就是你死我活的局面。
The Leonard’sintention, Rey Mingkaiis very clear.雷纳德的意图,雷明凯很清楚。Mayafterarranging the Qianshanmilitarytook over the MR. AUinfluence, was unable to sitwithLeonardin the possibility of sametabletalk.
可在安排了钱山武接手了前MR.AU的势力之后,就已经无法与雷纳德坐在同一张桌子谈话的可能性了。„Right?”
“是吗?”Rey Mingkairejected the action of invitationwithout hesitation, Leonardis not accidental/surprised. On the contrary, bysubordinateBinabyLeonard that the omniscientthiswords and expressionsdescribedalreadybeforethismeeting, thenexpectedthis point.雷明凯毫不犹豫地拒绝了邀请的举动,雷纳德并不意外。相反,被部下莎比娜以无所不知这个词语来形容的雷纳德早已经在这次会面之前,便料到了这一点。„, Does not know that Knightyour excellencyis interested inaccompanyingmyone? At least, today, inthisafternoon.”
“那么,不知骑士阁下有兴趣陪我一下吗?至少,在今天,在这个下午。”Rey Mingkaiknits the browsslightly, hedoes not know that Leonardis sellingwhatmedicine.雷明凯微微一皱眉,他并不知道雷纳德到底在卖什么药。According toRey Mingkai'sremembers, nowLeonardshoulddoperhapsis tryingto persuade itselfto joinhiscamp, strivesfor the resetworldtogether.
根据雷明凯的记忆,雷纳德现在应该做的或许就是在试图劝说自己加入他的阵营,一同为重置世界而奋斗。However, presentLeonardis fainthassomeunusualities.
然而,眼前的雷纳德却隐隐间有着一些异常。ButRey Mingkai is actually not ablemiddle, exceptionallyto see an outcomeLeonard’stheseimmediately.
可雷明凯却无法在第一时间当中,将雷纳德的这些异常看出个究竟。
The hesitationmoment, Rey Mingkainods.
沉吟片刻,雷明凯点了点头。„Thanked! Then, here askingKnightyour excellencyto come.”
“非常感谢!那么,请骑士阁下过来这边。”Leonardsteps back, give awaybehindchair, andmade the invitation.雷纳德退后一步,让出了身后的椅子,并作出了邀请。Rey Mingkaiaccepts with pleasure.雷明凯欣然接受。Astwo peopleprioritiessit down, a slightmachineryoperationsoundtransmitsfromrearnot far away.
随着两人的先后坐下,一阵细微的机械运作声从后方不远处传来。Rey Mingkaileans first to lookslightly, unexpectedlyis a short hair, has the femalesas well astwo2metershighminiatureASavengernumbers of eyewalksslowlytowardhere. Butintheirhands, holds the tea and dessert.雷明凯微微侧头一看,竟是一名短发,带着眼睛的女子以及两架二米高的微型AS复仇者号缓缓地朝着这边走来。而她们的手中,却是捧着茶水与点心。„Onecrowd of tattered. Kai, had toldyoubefore. In the middle of the previousthatworld, Ihad seenthesetattered, andtears into shredsthem.”
“一群破烂。凯,之前就跟你说过的。在先前的那个世界当中,我曾经见过这些破烂,并将她们撕碎掉。”white catzeroshot a look atoneto followafterfemalebehindavenger, itssoundresoundedin the Rey Mingkaimind.白猫零式瞥了一眼跟在女子身后的复仇者后,它的声音就在雷明凯脑海当中响起。Regarding this, Rey Mingkairemains unmoved, did not expressanything.
对此,雷明凯不为所动,也不表示什么。Untilthatfemaleholdstwoavengers the teadessertplacedon the desktopone by one, andis leavinglater, after the spaceleftLeonardandRey Mingkai, Leonardis pointing at the female of going far away.
直到那女子将两架复仇者所捧着的茶水点心逐一放在了桌面上,并在随后离开,将空间留给了雷纳德和雷明凯之后,雷纳德才指着远去的女子。„SheisBina. Mysubordinate.”
“她是莎比娜。我的部下。”„Bina.”
“莎比娜。”She has the unusualsentimentalwomantoLeonard, Bina.
她就是对雷纳德有着非同寻常的感情的女人,莎比娜了。„Verygoodsubordinate.”
“很不错的部下。”„Many thankspraise. No matterIencounterwhatdifficulty, whereplaces, Binawouldappearinginmysidepromptly.”
“多谢夸奖。不管是我遇到什么困难,身处何地,莎比娜都总会及时地出现在我的身边。”Leonardsighedsuddenly, thismadeRey Mingkaihavesomeaccidents/surprises.雷纳德突然感叹了一声,这让雷明凯有了一些意外。Present, separatedwith the Rey Mingkai'smemoryagain.
眼前的这一幕,再一次与雷明凯的记忆割裂了。
The demeanor that during the shorttime, Leonarddisplaysin the middle ofLeonardwithRey Mingkaimemorysomewhatis different.
只是短短的时间当中,雷纳德所表现出来的举止言行都与雷明凯记忆当中的雷纳德有些不同。„Hehe. Nowdoes not saythistime. Knightyour excellency. Youbelieveoutsidethisworld, will also haveotherworld? Oh, is not right.”
“呵呵。现在可不是说这个的时候。骑士阁下。你相信这个世界之外,还会有其他世界吗?哦,不对。”Told only half,Leonarddeniedownwords.
说到一半,雷纳德却自顾自地否定了自己的话语。„Verysorry! Knightyour excellency. Mymeaningis not such.”
“非常抱歉!骑士阁下。我的意思并非如此。”Butat this time, a Rey Mingkaiactuallyfirstopens the mouth.
可这时,雷明凯却抢先一步开口了。„Leonard. The sighted peopledid not speak the code words. Yousay the resetworld?”
“雷纳德。明人不说暗话。你是说重置世界吗?”OnLeonardsends outexceptionallymakes the Rey Mingkai'snerveeven moretighten.雷纳德身上所散发出来的异常让雷明凯的神经越发地绷紧。Thisis differentfrombeforehandGuineaYaaz, the feeling that exceptionallybringsis very difficultto describe.
这不同于之前的基尼亚斯,那股异常所带来的感觉很难形容。„Hehe. Yes. Ourgoals are resetworld, making the worldreturn to the initialhappiness.”
“呵呵。是的。我们的目的便是重置这个世界,让世界回归最初的美好。”Leonarddoes not exposeownultimategoalregardingRey Mingkaiaccidentally/surprisingly, insteadwasrefreshedincomparablyacknowledgedownultimategoal.雷纳德对于雷明凯将自己的最终目的点破毫不意外,反而更是爽快无比地承认了自己一方的最终目的。„Right? Youthought that during resetfrom now onworld, reallyimagineslikeyoulike thathappy?”
“是吗?你觉得重置过后的世界,真的如同你所想象当中的那般美好吗?”Rey Mingkaicounter-attackedat the scene.雷明凯当场反击了。Moreover, the words that hesaidmadeLeonardstareslightly.
而且,他所说出的话让雷纳德微微一愣。Immediately, Leonard that sobersrapidlylaughsimmediately.
随即,迅速清醒过来的雷纳德顿时哈哈大笑。„Hahahaha! Alsosaidis! EvenI, am not truly ableto guarantee that during ourresetfrom now onworldwill be similar tousto imaginelike thathappy.”
“哈哈哈哈!说得也是!就算是我,也确实无法保证我们重置过后的世界会如同我们所想象当中的那般美好。”Leonardas ifsighs, thenhelooks atRey Mingkai saying: „But, because ofthis, westops the footsteps, no longerled the way?”雷纳德似乎叹了一口气,然后他看着雷明凯说道:“但是,就因为这样,我们就停下脚步,不再前行了吗?”Rey Mingkaihas not talked雷明凯没有搭话Leonardcontinues saying: „No, cannot. Even ifresetfrom now onworldwill not be similar tohappiness that like thatIimagine. I, we have the last resortto recallall these. Hehe. Knightyour excellency. Perhapsyoudo not know, beforefor a long time is very very long, somepeople were also once same as you, said that wordstome, is only, what a pity.”雷纳德继续说道:“不,不会的。就算是重置过后的世界不会如同我所想象的那般美好。我,我们还有最后的手段将这一切挽回。呵呵。骑士阁下。或许你不知道,在很久很久以前,曾经有人也和你一样,对我说出了刚才的那一番话,只是,可惜了。”
The Leonard’svisionmovesgradually, hitwith the Rey Mingkai'svisioninone.雷纳德的目光渐渐移动,与雷明凯的目光撞在了一起。Indistinctwithin, twomurderous auranotconcealsbursts outin the middle of the midair, strangled to deathcrazilyinone.
隐约间,两股杀气毫无掩饰地在半空当中迸发,疯狂地绞杀在了一起。In the middle of the even moreice-coldair, the Leonard’ssoundresoundslightly.
越发冰冷的空气当中,雷纳德的声音淡淡地响起。„Infinally, thatpersonwas only killedbymepitifully.”
“只可惜在最后,那人被我杀死了。”immediately after, the Rey Mingkai'srebuttalactuallycame.紧接着,雷明凯的反驳却来了。„But, youactuallycannot killmenow.”
“可,你现在却杀不死我。”hearsword, Leonardsmilesimmediately.
闻言,雷纳德顿时笑了笑。„Alsosaidis. Iam unable to killyou.”
“说得也是。我无法杀死你。”During the spoken languages, the Leonard’svisionas iftransferred the revolutionson the white catzero-typebody. The deep place of visionis the vigilance that is unable to abate.
言语间,雷纳德的目光似乎在白猫零式的身上转了转。目光的深处是一股无法消退的警惕。„But, I can actually surroundyou. Knightyour excellency. You, yourpresentactions, Iwatch. Youthink, butdepends upon a trivialsubstitute personthento be able the influence of thatperson, wealthseizing? Do not despise the person.”
“但,我却可以将你困住。骑士阁下。你,你们现在的行动,我都看在眼里。你以为,只是依靠着一个区区的替身便能够将那个人的势力,财富给夺过来了吗?别太小看人了。”„Ihave not despisedanybody. Leonard. Ihave not despisedyou.”
“我没有小看任何人。雷纳德。我更没有小看你。”
The Rey Mingkailongbody, forwardedtwosteps, turned away fromLeonardto sayslowly:雷明凯长身而起,向前走了两步,背对着雷纳德缓缓地说道:„Leonard, iftoday the intentionis onlythis, perhapsthen, amongus the conversationstopped.”
“雷纳德,如果今天你的用意只是这样的话,那么,我们之间的交谈或许就到此为止了。”„MISS. Q.”
“MISS.Q。”Rey Mingkai'slays cards on the tableto welcome the card in a hand that Leonardplayed.雷明凯的摊牌迎来了雷纳德打出的底牌。„What is this? Leonard. Do youwantto make the transactionwithMISS. Q?”
“这是什么?雷纳德。你想用MISS.Q来做交易?”Rey Mingkaihas turned around, lookstoLeonard.雷明凯转过身,看向雷纳德。„No. Knightyour excellency. MISS. Qis a respectablewoman. Iwill mentionher, becauseIwantto makeyouunderstand, here, you, Ms.MISS. Qas well asthatMR. Jstatusis notsecret.”
“不。骑士阁下。MISS.Q是一位让人尊敬的女士。我之所以会提到她,还是因为我想让你明白,在这里,你,MISS.Q女士以及那位MR.J的身份并不是什么秘密。”Face-off.
摊牌。Leonardstartedto lay cards on the table.雷纳德开始摊牌了。„Knightyour excellency. Does not know the world that youare atwhat kind ofbeautifulscenerydoes have?”
“骑士阁下。不知你所在的世界到底有着怎么样的美丽风景?”„Thatisevenin the foreign land, lets the beautifulscenery that the personrecalls.”
“那是就算是远在异乡,都不禁让人回想起的美丽风景。”Rey Mingkaireplied.雷明凯答道。Althoughthisis not the rich in poetic and artistic flavordescription, butLeonardsighedfor this reasonmakes noise.
尽管这并不是什么诗情画意的描述,但雷纳德却为此感叹出声。„Right? Knightyour excellency. How do youfeel the presentsceneries? Hehe. To me, thisisonewill just have some pictures of changeoccasionally.”
“是吗?骑士阁下。你觉得眼前的这片景色如何?呵呵。对于我来说,这只不过是一张偶尔会有些许变化的照片而已。”
The Leonard’swordsas ifwere sighing, as ifrecounted.雷纳德的话语仿佛是在感叹,也仿佛是述说。„How longmemoryinthatIam unable to recallin the middle, Isaw the storm of ends of the earth, has experienced the sea of fire that spread the entirecontinent, above the vast desert, looks that with own eyesthatboundlessyellow sandwas coveredby the green, restoresthatpieceagainby the mysteriousoasis that the worldpraises. Even if so, perhapstheseonlyhave the sceneryin the middle oflegend, regardingpresentme , is just a depthhides the pictureinmemory.”
“在那段我无法回忆起到底有多久的记忆当中,我见到了天涯海角的风暴,也见识过蔓延了整个大洲的火海,更在沙海之上,亲眼看着那茫茫黄沙被绿色覆盖,再度恢复那片被世人传颂的神秘绿洲。纵使是如此,这些或许只存在于传说当中的风景,对于现在的我来说,也只不过是一张深藏在记忆当中的照片。”Sighedin the middle of the sound, Rey Mingkairemained silent.
感叹声当中,雷明凯保持沉默了。Althoughthisis only a somewhatrich in poetic and artistic flavorsigh, butRey Mingkaifelt like why thisshouldbepresentLeonardis felt an unusualunusualrootbyoneself.
这尽管只是一段有些诗情画意的感叹,但雷明凯却隐隐觉得这应该就是眼前的雷纳德为何会让自己感到了一股非同寻常的异常的根源。„Knightyour excellency. Perhaps, someday in the future, do Iwantto experience the scenery of hometownif possiblewith own eyesbeautifully?”
“骑士阁下。或许,在未来的某一天,有机会的话,我想亲眼见识一下你的故乡的景色到底有多美?”„Hehe.”
“呵呵。”Rey Mingkaismiles.雷明凯笑了笑。„IfLeonardyour excellencywants, perhapsnowIcansatisfyyour excellencydesire. Before that Ihope that Leonardyour excellencycanhand over the amalgam, hands overMISS. Q, hands overMR. J, perhapsin this case, I can also makeLeonardyour excellencyexperiencemore magnificentscenery.”
“如果雷纳德阁下愿意的话,或许现在我就能满足阁下的愿望。只是,在那之前,我希望雷纳德阁下能够交出汞合金,交出MISS.Q,交出MR.J,这样的话,我说不定还能让雷纳德阁下见识一下更为壮观的景色。”„Right? Thatmayreallyto anticipate.”
“是吗?那可真是让人期待。”Leonardsaidfrom the bottom of one's heart.雷纳德发自肺腑地说道。However, suddenly, the Leonard’scomplexionthensuddenlybecomesice-cold.
然而,突然间,雷纳德的脸色便突然变得冰冷。„But, alllate. Knightyour excellency. Comparesinyourexistences, Iwantto turn into the appearance that Iexpect the world.”
“但是,一切都晚了。骑士阁下。相比于你们的存在,我更想将世界变成我所期望的样子。”„The worldsuch asyouhopewill not go forwardin the direction that youanticipate. Leonard.”
“世界并不会如你所愿地朝着你所期待的方向前进。雷纳德。”„ButIcanlet the world, whenmoves toward the bad idea, footsteps that the resetitgoes forward.”
“但我可以让世界在走向歪道的时候,重置它前进的脚步。”Rey Mingkaisneered, in the middle of the smiling facerevealedto taunt.雷明凯冷笑了一声,笑容当中流露出一丝嘲讽。„Bad idea? The worldwas inferioryouhope, youitsreset. Youdid not think that thisisonetypearrogant? Leonard.”
“歪道?世界并不如你所愿,你就将其重置。你不觉得这是一种傲慢吗?雷纳德。”„Arrogant? This first time was some peoplesaidme! Hehe.”
“傲慢?这还是第一次这样有人说我呢!呵呵。”Leonardis facingandRey Mingkai'staunts, similarlyisrevealsoneto sneer.雷纳德面对着和雷明凯的嘲讽,同样是露出一丝冷笑。„Arrogant. To me, even for the person in thisworld, yousimilarly is also arrogant. Not? KnightRey Mingkai. Appearsfromyoustarting fromthat moment of thisworld, secretsilver the trendchanged.”
“傲慢。对于我来说,甚至对于这个世界的人来说,你们同样也是傲慢。不是吗?骑士雷明凯。从你出现在这个世界的那一刻开始,秘银的动向就变了。”Leonardthese words, letin the Rey Mingkaiheartpolicetrillionwritings.雷纳德这一番话,让雷明凯心中警兆大作。„secretsilver the trendchanged.”
“秘银的动向变了。”Perhapsthisis not the specialwords.
或许这并不是什么特别的话语。ButregardingRey Mingkaithisperson who knows very well the plot, is actually a bolt from the blue.
但对于雷明凯这个熟知剧情的人来说,却是一个晴天霹雳。Thisbolt from the bluenot onlymakesRey Mingkaibe shockedtogether, him, sincesaw when Leonard the dense fog that difference that feels, bringspursuesat one fell swoopcleanly.
这一道晴天霹雳不但让雷明凯感到震惊,也将他自从见到雷纳德时感受到的异样,所带来的迷雾一举驱逐得干净。Resetworld!
重置世界!PresentLeonardis notin the middle ofRey MingkaimemorythatLeonard, butwhenRey Mingkai, evenisMISS. Qtheyhave not enteredthisworld, has succeeded the resetat leastseveral timesLeonard of aboveworld.
眼前的雷纳德并非雷明凯记忆当中的那个雷纳德,而是在雷明凯,甚至是MISS.Q她们未曾进入这个世界之时,就已经成功重置至少数次以上的世界的雷纳德。In other words, presentLeonardto a certain extentalreadywithRey Mingkaisamecrossing over.
也就是说,眼前的雷纳德在某种程度上已经是与雷明凯一样的穿越者。Moreover, according to the understandingregarding the words that and knowledge of city of starshiningabyssdelimit, perhapspresentLeonardis calledspace and timespecialpointexistence.
而且,按照星耀之城对于深渊的理解以及知识划定的话,眼前的雷纳德恐怕就是被称为时空特异点的存在。
The Rey Mingkai'sfacial expressionis very tranquil, has not revealed a mood of fluctuation.雷明凯的神情十分平静,没有丝毫流露出一丝波动的情绪。Butin the middle ofhismindis actually revolvingcrazily, fastbeforeembarking the informationone by oneseries that came from the Reyhand, finallyobtained the finalanswer.
但他的脑海当中却是疯狂地运转着,快速地将在出发前从雷手中得来的情报一一串联,最终得出了最终的答案。LeonardTestasRosa.雷纳德・泰斯塔罗莎。
The reason that the presentyoungsterwill send out a differencebeyond descriptionperhaps, fromcrosses the result that the multipleaboveworldaccumulatesto comeinhisat leastsuccessfullyreset.
眼前的少年之所以会散发出一股让人难以形容的异样的原因,恐怕就是来自于他至少成功地重置过复数以上的世界所累积而来的结果。
