Looked like. ……太像了。 Really looked like- 实在是太像了- The plot of this nightmare, looks like the beginning of spying to be the same simply. 这个噩梦的剧情,简直就像是侦探的开场一样。 If according to repertoire, that person who then kills people, should now in the people...... 如果按照套路,那么杀人的那个人,现在应该就在众人之中…… „- Kills my murderer, in you.” “-杀死我的凶手,就在你们之中。” The low and drawn out sound, from sitting flows out in the old man statue on wheelchair. 低缓的声音,从坐在轮椅上的老者石像中流出。 With resounding of this sound, the surrounding environment changed. 随着这声音的响起,周围的环境改变了。 In the bright magnificent hall, heard the low and deep laughter and low sound of talking everywhere indistinctly. 原本明亮辉煌的大厅中,四处隐约传来了低沉的笑声、低语声。 Annan felt that these in all directions the statues that they surround, as if in another world is overlooking them, talks in whispers by the sound that they cannot hear. 安南感觉那些四面八方将他们包围起来的石像们,仿佛正在另一个世界中俯视着他们,以他们听不到的声音窃窃私语。 „...... Un, coughs!” “……嗯、咳！” The cough sound that the next quarter, an old person makes an effort gets up. 下一刻,一声老人用力的咳嗽声响起。 These talked in whispers vanish completely do not see. 那些窃窃私语全部消失不见。 Meanwhile, in the entire hall is burning peacefully the lights elongate and pull suddenly. The flame becomes extremely tall and slender, starts the vibration of high-frequency. 与此同时,整个大厅中安静燃烧着的灯火突然拉长、拉高。火苗变得极为细长,开始高频率的抖动起来。 The color also from the warm bright yellow, transferred in the white outside blue cool flame. 颜色也从温暖的明黄色,转为了内白外蓝的冷焰。 These white statues, under shine of cool flame, as if became gloomy. 那些白色的雕像,在冷焰的映照下,也仿佛变得阴沉了起来。 The atmosphere in hall changed instantaneously. 大厅之中的氛围瞬间改变了。 Originally in eight people situated in light, after the flame was pulled, the blanketing by various statue places the expression, was hidden the figure by chance. But among them ground, was divided by the new shadow. 原本处于光明之中的八个人,在火焰被拉高之后,恰巧被石像各处的阴影遮蔽了表情、藏匿了身形。而他们之间的地面,也被新出现的阴影所分割。 As if Grandmaster Michelangelo, had expected they heard this last words time, everyone will stand there is the same. 仿佛米开朗基罗大师,早已预料到了他们听到这段遗言的时候,每个人会站在那里一样。 Next quarter, a somewhat illusory old person voice, with statue in the sound that beforehand preserves is overlapping resounding: 下一刻,一个有些虚幻的老人声音,与石像中的事先留存的声音重叠着响起: „ Now starting from, you are counted my student. Therefore you can kill the murderer for me, this is by the action of revenge the world granted. “现在开始,你们都算作我的学生。所以你们可以替我将凶手杀死,这是被世人所允诺的复仇之举。 „ If in you somebody successfully kills the murderer. Then surplus everyone can obtain part of my heritage...... to kill his person, will inherit Coldwind White Tower. “假如你们中的某人成功将凶手杀死。那么剩余的所有人都可以得到我遗产的一部分……而杀死他的那个人,将继承凛风白塔。 „But you must pay attention. I only permit to you kill the revenge power of murderer, if the manslaughter the person beside murderer, will not have the reward, not to have the penalty unfortunately, but wants you to shoulder the murder the crime.” “但你们也要注意。我只许给你们杀死凶手的复仇权,如果不幸误杀了凶手之外的人,则不会有奖励、也不会有惩罚,但要你们自己背负杀人的罪行。” As the old person starts talking, the sound that his resounds overlapped even more is resoundingly clear. 随着老人开口讲话,他那重叠响起的声音越发清晰响亮。 But recording synchronization in statue, gradually becomes pale. 而石像中的录音则同步的、逐渐变淡。 By the present, as if that old person sat there- sits on the wheelchair, is tilting the head tranquilly visits them to be the same. 到了现在,仿佛那个老人就坐在那里-坐在轮椅上,歪着头平静的看着他们一样。 Although can only hear the sound merely, but Annan as if can see a vision tranquil and distant old person, looking at...... is also looking oneself are the same behind. 虽然仅仅只能听到声音,但安南仿佛能看到一个目光平静而悠远的老人,望着自己……同时也在看着自己身后一样。 In his heart, suddenly had such feeling. 他的心中,突然有了这样的感觉。 He believes that...... the feelings of others should be the same to oneself. 他相信……其他人的感觉应该与自己是一样的。 However because the shadow is strong, he cannot see the expressions of others. 不过因为阴影过于浓重,他根本看不到其他人的表情。 To come others should be unable to see own expression. 想来其他人应该也看不到自己的表情吧。 However until now, old person's last words are understandable. 不过至今为止,老人的遗言都是可以理解的。 But later words, let eight people of some confusions: 但随后的话语,却让八人有些混乱了: „ But, I was dying. Kills my child, is that successor who I most favor. “不过,我原本就要死了。杀死我的那个孩子,也是我最为看好的那个继承者。 „ Therefore, I decide to give him an opportunity. “所以,我决定给他一个机会。 „If the population cuts in half, the true murderer still had not died...... the murderer to inherit my Coldwind White Tower.” “假如人数减半,真正的凶手仍然未死……那么凶手将继承我的凛风白塔。” „ Other one raises, in Coldwind White Tower entangles Bone Burying Grandma binding curse. Everyone in White Tower 【One Murder per Person】, Regardless of past how long, so long as kills the second person to be killed by the incantation ; My murderer of this binding curse to killing equally is also effective. “另外一提,凛风白塔中缠有埋骨婆婆的咒缚。每个人在白塔之中【仅允许杀一个人】,无论过去多久,只要杀死第二人将会被咒杀;此咒缚对杀死我的凶手也同样有效。 „ Mother-in-law once said, the myriad things all perish, all things all finally. You do not need to fondly remember me...... my life, created too many too many eternal thing. But I have not tried, creates ritual for the gods. “婆婆曾说,万物皆亡,万事皆终。你们无需怀念我……我这一生,创造了太多太多的永恒之物。但我还没有试过,为神明创造仪式。 „My binding curse has twined White Tower. You cannot escape, cannot leave...... eight people in this tower, will be this golden ritual first group of performers. You will historically leave a good name with me together.” “我的咒缚已然缠绕白塔。你们逃不开,也走不掉……在这座塔中的八个人,将是这个黄金仪式的第一批执行者。你们将与我一同在历史上留名。” Speaking of finally, old person's voice is even more weak, the echo even more strengthens. 说到最后,老人的声音越发微弱,回音越发加强。 But before that is very long, the sound recording in statue had ended. 而在那之前很久,石像中的录音就已经结束。 „ ritual name, when you will know finally...... “仪式的名字,等到最后你们就会得知…… „ My students, use the brains, ponders this issue. If the future is indefinite, existed inevitably? “我的学生们,开动脑筋,思考一下这个问题。如果未来是不确定的,已发生的就是必然存在的吗？ „- My students, witness the miracle with me together.” “-我的学生们,与我一同见证奇迹吧。” Finally, as old person's overlapped illusory voice dissipates completely. 最终,随着老人重重叠叠的虚幻声音完全消散。 The deep blue flame falls again returns to the original position. 湛蓝色的火焰再度落回原处。 The light floods in the White Tower hall again. 光明再度充斥在白塔的大厅之中。 Shadow retreat. 阴影退去。 But among eight people initial that atmosphere, had actually been changed. 可八人之间最初的那种氛围,却已经被改变了。 „...... This rule, may not seem like limits the murderer.” “……这规则,可不像是限制凶手。” Silent for a long time, the first opens the mouth is still Maria Coldwinter. 沉默许久,第一个开口的依然是玛利亚・凛冬。 Her sound is chilly and immature, is hiding some taunts: „In...... rewards the murderer seem like.” 她的声音清冷而稚嫩,其中掩藏着些许嘲讽:“倒像是在……奖励凶手。” The people were clear that her words is right. 众人都清楚她的话是对的。 This grand duke's daughter...... always likes saying truth that others are not willing to acknowledge. 这位大公之女……总是喜欢说别人都不愿意承认的实话。 Although the murderer was being restrained by Michelangelo binding curse, is unable to kill people. 虽然凶手被米开朗基罗的咒缚约束着,无法杀人。 But wants to pick up the difficulty of murderer...... to fish in troubled waters with the murderer from eight people, lives the difficulty that ritual finished, is different. 但想要从八人中挑出凶手的难度……与凶手浑水摸鱼,活到仪式结束的难度,根本就不一样。 If can kill people at will, that was actually simple. 假如能随意杀人,那倒是简单了。 Everyone starts to escape to kill directly greatly. Kills only to remain itself directly, then the natural murderer was also killed. 大家直接开始大逃杀。直接杀到只剩自己,那么自然凶手也就被杀了。 But wants dead half of population now, ritual will finish. Then they naturally do not dare to act at will. Not to mention has „two to kill , then dies” binding curse, making them big might magic spell unable to use...... 可现在只要死去一半的人数,仪式就会结束。那么他们自然不敢随意出手。更不用说有“二杀则死”的咒缚,让他们连大威力的法术都不能使用…… This is a resistance plays radically. 这根本就是一场对抗游戏。 Annan first realized this ritual essence. 安南第一时间意识到了这个仪式的本质。 Moreover is „does not resist game symmetrically”! 而且是一场“不对称对抗游戏”！ However and Maria Coldwinter said not too same...... 不过和玛利亚・凛冬所说的不太一样…… Annan keen detection to...... in this game, „murderer” instead is in the big disadvantage. 安南敏锐的察觉到……在这场游戏中,“凶手”反而是处于大劣势的。 Because of binding curse of Grandmaster Michelangelo, restrains the person of murder unable to kill people again. 因为米开朗基罗大师的咒缚,约束着杀过人的人无法再次杀人。 In this environment, who did not agree that „discovers the murderer to kill”, is the most suspicious that person. „Again murderer is unable to kill people”, in eight people are a strong consensus, is everyone knows, and knows that others also know. 那么在这种环境下,谁不同意“找出凶手并杀死”,就是最可疑的那个人。“凶手是无法再次杀人的”,在八人中是一个强共识,也就是每个人都知道、且知道其他人也知道。 Why this also survives four people of ritual to terminate. 这也就是为什么存活到四人仪式就终止吧。 Because of the wrong murder, at least can confirm each time two people are innocent- slayer and murder victim. 因为每次错误的杀人,至少能验证两人是无辜的-杀人者与被杀者。 ...... Although murder victim suo has not had the words. ……虽然被杀者已经嗦不出话了。 In other words , if all goes well, everyone only strove for steadily. Is willing to attain 1/4 heritages to receive the hand. 换言之,如果一切顺利,大家都只求稳。愿意拿到四分之一的遗产就收手。 Then when also remains five people, the murderer should be looked. 那么在还剩五个人的时候,凶手应该被找出来了。 Also is 22 kills. 也就是两两相杀。 After person who finally that is not willing to begin...... or murder, by that person who the incantation kills, is the murderer. 最终那个不愿意动手的人……或者杀人之后自己被咒杀的那个人,就是凶手。 This game, has must win the law. 这场游戏,是有必胜法的。 However...... 但是…… Annan narrows the eye slightly. 安南微微眯起眼睛。 The duty that he receives is, „does not have fight with anybody”. 他接到的任务就是,“不与任何人发生战斗”。 Is he that person who kills Grandmaster Michelangelo? 难道他就是杀死米开朗基罗大师的那个人？ But this is obviously impossible. 但这显然不可能。 Because Gerald after this experience ended, is still surviving. Moreover he has not inherited White Tower......, otherwise is impossible also to stay in Silver Rank, more impossible easily to be struck to kill by Annan in Roseburg. 因为杰拉尔德在这段经历结束之后,是依然存活着的。而且他也没有继承白塔……否则不可能还停留在白银阶,更不可能在罗斯堡被安南轻易击杀。 Therefore he inevitably is not a murderer. 所以他必然不是凶手。 ...... That this felt strange. ……那这就奇怪了。 Annan the duty, simply looks like...... 安南的这个任务,简直就像是…… Must make Annan disturb to be the same in the crowd intentionally. 要故意让安南在人群中捣乱一样。 This will definitely attract the attention of others...... more arrives at behind, Annan that is not willing to kill people more will be suspected. 这肯定会吸引到其他人的注意力……越是到后面,不愿意杀人的安南就越会被人怀疑。 Therefore, whatever the reason. 所以,不管原因是什么。 Annan must prevents this type „one to one to kill” the mentality be detected...... or the implementation by others. 安南都必须阻止这种“一对一相杀”的思路被其他人察觉……或是实施。 But he felt, the difficulty should not be high. 但他觉得,难度应该不会太高。 He took a look at other seven people. 他打量了一下其他的七个人。 „Spying game......” “侦探游戏啊……” Annan muttered, the corners of the mouth showed a temperate friendly smile. 安南喃喃道,嘴角露出一个温和友善的笑容。 A little meaning. 有点意思。
