The callous morning breeze howls is spilling into the front door that west side the temple opens, strokes side by side to lie down in the ground two human skeleton —— whole bodies hangs all over tattered turning yellow to send the rancid cloth strip, among the skeletons places one full is being the blood stain and patch and dirty baby rag doll. 冷酷的晨风呼啸着涌进神庙西边敞开的大门,拂过并排躺在地上的两具人类骸骨——浑身挂满破破烂烂的发黄发馊的布条,尸骨之间摆放着一个满是血污和补丁、脏兮兮的娃娃布偶。 The rag doll two jet black button eyes stare to gaze at the empty ceiling, as if in silent is recounting a secret. 布偶两只漆黑的纽扣眼直勾勾注视着空荡的天花板,仿佛在无声地述说着一个秘密。 Carl wipes the forehead sweat, the vision turns to three temple managers who the side stares dumbfounded. 卡尔擦去额头汗水,目光转向身边瞠目结舌的三位神庙管理者。 Faced worked hard a night of achievement, their silence have maintained for five minutes, the shock on face did not seem like the camouflage, or their performing skill was astonishing. 面对了操劳了一夜的成果,他们的沉默已经维持了五分钟,脸上的震惊也不像是伪装,亦或者他们演技惊人。 Carl coughed, pulls back from the skeleton three people of attention, „just like my beforehand guess, underground buried the corpse, takes it as the nutrient, can be born two night Wraith.” 卡尔咳嗽了一声,将三人的注意力从尸骸上拉了回来,“正如我之前的猜测,地下埋了尸体,以之为养分,才能诞生两头夜间妖灵。” „At night Wraith?” Priestess looks to Witcher, reveals the inquiry the expression. “夜间妖灵？”女祭司看向猎魔人,露出询问的表情。 „If before a person dies, has intense being unwilling, hate and anger, and dies very painfully, the soul may in his corpse, or some goods that is reposing the strong emotion change to at night Wraith, they come with the moonlight together, guard in some place, vented the inexhaustible hate to nearby life, suffered to kill them, created many similar. So long as the corpse buries in inside one day, at night Wraith is unable thoroughly to be eliminated!” “如果一个人死前心存强烈的不甘、怨恨、愤怒,且死得很痛苦,灵魂就有可能在他的尸体、或某件寄托着深厚情感的随身物品边化作夜间妖灵,它们随着月光一道现身,驻守在某地,向附近的生命发泄无穷无尽的怨恨,折磨杀害他们,创造更多同类。只要尸体埋在里面一天,夜间妖灵就无法被彻底消灭！” Carl tone, carefully observes three people of expressions, but cannot see any guilty or afraid, only then normal fear. 卡尔语气一顿,仔细观察三人的表情,但没能看到任何一丝愧疚或者心虚,只有再正常不过的畏惧。 „Worthily is the professional, discovered the troublesome source in the evening! This type of dirty thing treats for one minute in the temple is to profaning of Prophet!” Daisy thought highly of one, deeply inspires, „matter cannot be delayed, how now should purify them? Burns down, imports in the woods to dispose, throws Hasuri?” “不愧是专业人士,一个晚上就找出了麻烦的源头！这种脏东西在庙里多待一分钟都是对先知的亵度！”黛西恭维了一句,深吸一口气,“事不宜迟,现在该怎么净化它们？一把火烧掉,还是运进树林里填埋,丢河水里？” „Is patient, purification you have not thought is so simple.” Akizuki heard that the word heart sneers, exchanged a look with Carl. “稍安勿躁,净化没你想的那么简单。”阿卡姆闻言心头冷笑,和卡尔交换了个眼神。 The Fox tail revealed finally. 狐狸尾巴总算露出来了。 In the family/home presents the corpse, normal person first responded that shouldn't be gets to the bottom? She actually anxiously destroying the corpse and leave no trace. 家里面出现尸体,正常人的第一反应不该是寻根问底一番？她却急着毁尸灭迹。 „Before beginning, my a little issue must consult, the temple is not the grave in wilderness, sage Lebioda was not god of —— death” “动手之前,我有点问题要请教,神庙并非荒郊野外的坟地,贤者雷比殴达又不是死亡之神——” He raises the voice, the complexion is solemn, if the sound Thunderbolt, the eye is much more luminous, 他抬高嗓音,脸色冷峻,声若雷霆,目光亮得吓人, „Under cave will bury the corpse, what is the dead relates with you? Rag doll what's the matter? You most start also to deny with me, took an oath following has not died the person!” “地窖下面怎么会埋尸体,死者跟你们是什么关系？布偶又是怎么回事？你们最开始还跟我否认来着,赌咒发誓下面没有死过人！” Three people have a scare by the stance that this sends a punitive expedition. 三人被这兴师问罪的架势吓了一跳。 The Priestess complexion snow white, falls back on two big fellow center, said seriously, „in my memory, in the temple has not died the person, I do not know them!” 女祭司脸色唰一下雪白,退到身边两位大汉中央,才郑重地说,“我的记忆中,神庙里从没死过人,我不认识他们！” „Right, how I thought that you cannot think, how I do help you recall?” Akizuki squatting lower part of the body, both hands pick up the left that white pelvis —— pelvis to be spacious and short, the basin wall is smooth, upper opening circular, broad... “是吗,我怎么觉得你是想不起来呢,我来帮你们回忆回忆如何？”阿卡姆蹲下身,双手托起左边那具白森森的骨盆——骨盆宽大且矮,盆壁光滑菲薄,上口圆形,前后宽阔… He concludes quickly, 他很快断定, „The dead is a female!” “死者为女性！” He looks at carefully the skeleton overall outline, grasps the skull, the fingertip strokes gently the tooth that turns yellow, making the pitch-dark skeleton eye face three people, just like sending out the silent interrogation, „among age 10 to 15 years old, the death time... was still not clear.” 他端详骸骨整体轮廓,又抓起头骨,指尖摩挲发黄的牙齿,让黑漆漆的骷髅眼朝向三人,宛如在发出无声的质问,“年龄10到15岁之间,死亡时间…尚不明确。” The judgment of death time environmental effect too big by, youngster Witcher experienced superficially, is unable to draw the definite conclusion. 死亡时间的判断受环境影响太大,少年猎魔人经验浅薄,无法得出确切结论。 Three people had not responded, Akizuki then inspects, startled well, 三人没反应,阿卡姆接着检查,惊咦了一声, „Rib, the leg bone and arm bone were oppressed many bone fractures by the external force...” “肋骨,腿骨、臂骨受外力压迫多处骨折…” „Breastbone place has a row of circular claw seal, as be continuous floats the rib from the left side collar bone as the right side, aren't four feet, the Canidae animal... are not the food person demon are... some large-scale felidae animal?” “胸骨处存在一排圆形爪印,从左侧锁骨绵延到右侧浮肋,四枚趾,不是犬科动物…也不是食人魔之属…某种大型猫科动物？” Akizuki facial expression quietly becomes dignified, the murderer unexpectedly is not human, in other words Wraith matter there is a reason for this. 阿卡姆神情悄然变得凝重,凶手居然不是人类,也就是说妖灵的事另有内情。 „Left shoulder was benefitted the tooth to bite, in the indentation a row of tooth quantity is 25 to 30, the tooth length and linking strength is quite astonishing.” “左肩被利齿咬碎,齿痕中一排牙齿数量为二十五到三十枚,牙齿长度和咬合力相当惊人。” „The analysis, the build of murderer is based on this bigger than the cheetah.” “据此分析,凶手的体型比猎豹更大。” Three managers turned very quiet, look at each other in blank dismay, the expression becomes splendid. 三名管理者屏住了呼吸,面面相觑,表情变得精彩至极。 Two Witcher deeply inspire as if by prior agreement, in the mind appears a terrifying, but a large-scale wild animal of bloody picture —— streamline body similar felidae animal suppresses the thin little girl, crazy tear and bite and devastation. 两名猎魔人不约而同深吸一口气,脑海中浮现出一副恐怖而血腥的画面——一头流线型身躯类似猫科动物的大型野兽将瘦巴巴的小女孩压住,疯狂撕咬、蹂躏。 But she is wailing, the bone was shattered, the blood that the body convulsion, in wound is splattering changes to an elegantly beautiful rose, incarnadine clothes and ground. 而她哀嚎着,骨头破碎,身体痉挛着,伤口中喷溅的鲜血化作朵朵冷艳的玫瑰,染红了衣服和地面。 Her scream shouts is getting more and more low, the blood piles up the pool of blood, she extremely breathes in the pain finally. 她的尖叫嘶吼越来越低,鲜血堆积成血泊,她最后在痛苦万分中咽了气。 But on the skeleton the trace is not limited to this. 但尸骨身上痕迹不止于此。 The Carl vision has swept the skeleton waist, puts out a hand to touch, unexpectedly pulls one from that „rope”. 卡尔目光扫过骸骨腰部,伸手一摸,居然从那上面扯出一条“绳索”。 A big section is the cream color, some small regions present the sorrel after air-drying by the blood invasion. 一大段呈乳白色,小部分区域呈现出被血液侵染又风干后的红褐色。 The index finger is roughly thick or thin, the careful observation can see that on the rope is covered with the dense and numerous slight downs, some held sticky, this is it is buried with the corpse in the place for a long time, under premise that the coherency considerably weakens. 约摸食指般粗细,仔细观察能看到绳索上面长满密密麻麻的细微绒毛,捏了捏有些黏糊糊的,这还是它已经随着尸体被埋在地里许久,粘性大为减弱的前提下。 Both hands get hold of both sides, makes an effort to stretch, shows the powerful toughness and elasticity. 双手握紧两端,使劲拉伸,又展现出强大的韧性和弹性。 „What is this?” The Carl doubts look to the companion. “这又是啥？”卡尔疑惑地看向同伴。 „Spider web!” Akizuki holds breath a cold air/Qi, guessed, „common spider may be unable to tie such thick mesh wire, in this cave once lives in Arachnomorph?” “蜘蛛网！”阿卡姆倒吸一口冷气,猜测道,“寻常蜘蛛可结不出这么粗的网线,难道这间地窖里曾经住着一头变形蛛？” The Arachnomorph calf is roughly big, the speed and spring are astonishing, can the emitting venom and strong coherent spider web, preys on the lion easily, even a Skellige man. 变形蛛约摸牛犊子大,速度和弹跳力惊人,能喷吐毒液和超强粘性蛛网,轻而易举捕食狮子,甚至一个史凯利杰男子汉。 Priestess tightened beautiful face, the expression in the shadow gloomy unclear. 女祭司绷紧了俏脸,表情在阴影里晦暗不明。 „This is impossible, the Poviss climate is cold, does not belong to the Arachnomorph habitat.” Carl denied this guess immediately, „even put aside this point, if they lived in the temple, the children had been made the flesh mothering bag, planted full Zhuluan. Therefore I feel more possible is some mutation, huge spider class lifeform.” “这不可能,波维斯气候寒冷,不属于变形蛛的栖息地。”卡尔立即否定这种猜测,“即便撇开这一点,它们要是住在神庙,孩子们早就被做成人肉育儿袋,种满蛛卵。所以我觉着更可能是某种变异的、巨大化蛛类生物。” Rumble. 咕噜咕噜。 The clear swallowing saliva sound resounds one after another. 清晰的吞咽口水声接连响起。 A flesh mothering bag word, lets two big fellow and Priestess whole face chill, the whole body exudes the goosebumps. 人肉育儿袋一词,让两个大汉和女祭司满脸恶寒,浑身泛起鸡皮疙瘩。 Akizuki confirmed a three people of expression with the corner of the eye split vision, looks at left a petiter skeleton. „Girl... the age is smaller, the skeleton surface has the similar fissure... to entangle few spider webs.” 阿卡姆用眼角余光确认了一遍三人的表情,又将目光转向左边更加娇小的骨骼。“女孩…年纪更小,骨骼表面存在同样的裂痕…缠着少量蛛网。” Said that he falls into the long silence. 说完他就陷入漫长的沉默。 First is the large-scale felidae ominous beast of canine sharp claws, is the mutation spider class insect, before these two pitiful children die, how many crimes should receive and pain?, 先是尖牙利爪的大型猫科凶兽,又是变异蛛类昆虫,这两个可怜的孩子死前该受了多少罪和痛苦？, Therefore they turn into at night Wraith, does not pace back and forth loose. 所以她们才变成夜间妖灵,徘徊不散。 But why only then they are murdered, other temple people actually safe and sound? 但为何只有她们遇害,神庙其余人却都安然无恙？ Properly speaking this type of big thing is impossible only to hunt and kill two small girl to sneak off quietly. 照理说这种大东西不可能只猎杀两个小丫头就悄无声息地溜走。 Akizuki heart surges all sorts of doubts, temporarily cannot clear off the clue, 阿卡姆心头涌起种种疑惑,暂时理不清头绪, „Daisy Lady, the words spoke in this share, what haven't you remembered to come?” “黛西女士,话都说到这个份上了,你还没想起什么来吗？” „In family/home presented two dead, are you in charge as the temple actually know nothing? Isn't this opening eyes to talk nonsense? This reasonable?” “家里出现了两名死者,你们身为神庙管事却毫不知情？这不是睁着眼说瞎话？这合理吗？” „Answered my issue!” “回答我的问题！” „My words do not have the half a point to be false, big spider, the big cats in two mouth hear something never heard of before simply!” Priestess licked the lip of season cracking, raises head shakes the head stubbornly, „, if they once came in the temple, that must make the big sound, so many eye definitely some people see, this fearful news in has spread inevitably in pinery area each and every family!” “我的话没有半分虚假,两位口中的大蜘蛛、大猫简直是闻所未闻！”女祭司舔了舔干燥开裂的嘴唇,仰头倔强地摇头,“如果它们曾在神庙现身,那得制造出多大的动静,这么多双眼睛肯定有人看见,这个可怕的消息必然早就在在松林区家家户户里流传开来！” Akizuki eyeball transferred the revolutions, falls into the thinking. They walk, has not heard any related rumor. 阿卡姆眼珠子转了转,陷入思索。他们一路走来,不曾听到过任何相关传言。 „You closely examine, will not think that what relations we do have with the murderer?” big baldy is also surprisedly and asks angrily, “您这么追问,不会觉得我们跟凶手有啥关系吧？”光头大汉又是惊讶又是愤怒地问, „Only the Spiritual God knows the answer.” “只有神灵知晓答案。” Akizuki whispered low voice. 阿卡姆小声嘀咕了一句。 Dino argued heatedly, 迪诺面红耳赤地辩解, „Two your excellency bright mirror, this pitiful child dies does not have the relations of half Crown with us! If were we harmed them, where dares to direct two Masters, but also helped you discover the corpse, wasn't this digs a pit toward inside jumps?” “两位阁下明鉴啊,这可怜的孩子死得跟俺们没半个克朗的关系！如果是我们害了她俩,哪里敢把两位大师引下来,还帮你们找出尸体,这不是自己挖坑往里面跳吗？” Carl nods. 卡尔不禁颔首。 „I have treated as the family member the children, pulls out the lung to them from the heart, giving them is meticulous the care and protecting, usually in does not hate to hit, scolded one, how to harm them?” Daisy winks the innocent and beautiful big eye, „I serves Prophet during the temple, the child from beginning to end is 18, many!” “我一直把孩子们当做亲人,对他们掏心掏肺,给与他们无微不至得关心和呵护,平日里都舍不得打一下,骂一句,怎么会伤害他们？”黛西眨动着无辜而美丽的大眼睛,“我在庙里侍奉先知期间,孩子从始至终都是十八个,一个不少！” Akizuki thinks, looks to Carl, the lip creeping motion silent reads a Sign word. 阿卡姆想了想,看向卡尔,嘴唇蠕动无声念出法印一词。 The latter shakes the head. 后者摇头。 Two people are young and impetuous, practice most industrious Sign are Igni and Aard, confuses the mind Axii actually to study not proficiently, short absent-minded still permissible, for interrogating and torturing the level is insufficient. 两人年轻气盛,练得最勤的法印是伊格尼和阿尔德,迷惑心神的亚克席却学得不到家,让人短暂失神尚可,用于拷问水平却不足。 Let alone Roy once warned them, don't to gods devout believer use hypnosis Sign, will otherwise have the unpredictable bad risk. 何况罗伊曾经告诫他们,别对神明虔诚的信徒使用催眠法印,否则会有莫测的凶险。 „Calm, three have misunderstood, we do not think that you have any relation with the murderer, both of us are Witcher, rather than righteousness police or public security officer, without duty, without that interest trial human!” “冷静点,三位有所误会,我们并不认为你们跟凶手有任何联系,我们俩是猎魔人,而非义警或者治安官,没义务,也没那个兴趣审判人类！” Carl paced to transfer, 卡尔踱步转了一圈, „We only want to complete comission, found that two committing murder Monster! Solves them, can purify the skeleton smoothly, if before tonight, cannot act appropriately to the situation ——” “我们只想完成委托,找到那两头行凶的怪物！解决掉它们,才能顺利净化骸骨,如果今晚之前不能对症下药——” Carl threatens to say intentionally, 卡尔故意恐吓道, „At night Wraith will stage a comeback.” “夜间妖灵将卷土重来。” In fact only need carry off the skeleton, at night Wraith naturally can leave the temple range, but three people do not know the inside story, instantaneous complexion big change. 实际上只需带走骸骨,夜间妖灵自然会离开神庙范围,但三人不知内情,瞬间脸色大变。 „I am redundant, in the half year we keep close to defend the temple, has not seen in your mouth so-called big spider, large-scale felidae beast of prey.” “我再重复一遍,这半年我们寸步不离守着神庙,从没见过你们口中所谓的大蜘蛛,大型猫科猛兽。” Priestess clenches teeth saying that 女祭司咬了咬牙说, „Therefore these two corpses only possibly are take office the bad debts that the Priest joyful period leaves behind.” “所以这两具尸体只可能是上任祭司欣妮时期留下的烂账。” „Then careful discusses this Priest matter to me, before she goes out to travel, may once leave behind the urging, or the transcript of few words? Makes the best use of the time!” “那么仔细跟我讲讲这位祭司的事,她外出游历前可曾留下叮嘱,或者只言片语的文字记录？抓紧时间！” The Priestess hesitation moment, starts to tell carefully. 女祭司沉吟片刻,开始细致讲述。 „Joyful Mother is always good...” “欣妮老嬷嬷向来为人不错…” Dino and Bruche often interrupted to supplement one. 迪诺和布鲁齐不时插嘴补充一句。 Akizuki listened to a small little while, thought that asked is not meaningful, signals with the eyes to Carl, looks to children, held the bosom the rag doll. 阿卡姆听了一小会儿,觉得这么问没啥意义,冲卡尔使了个眼神,看向门外的孩子们,把布偶揣进怀里。 „You first chatted, I went out to urinate, feed the horse, so as to avoid went bad Wirth and scorpion thirstily!” “你们先聊,我出去撒泡尿,喂喂马,免得渴坏了维尔特和蝎子！” Priestess turned the head to look at Witcher to step into the back of yard. 女祭司转头看了眼猎魔人踏进小院的背影。 She just likes the insight has not continued to tell. 她恍若未见地继续讲述。 ...... ……
