#174: The darkness said good night, dawn said the morning
In the nightsmall townstreet, blackcattakes a walkon the street, from time to timevanishes, from time to timeappears, likewandering soul.
夜晚的小镇街道中,黑色的猫儿在街道上走动,时而消失,时而出现,如同游魂般。Itwent to the restaurant of Mr.Smith, the restauranthad taken a breakto turn off a lightlong time agoat this timeMr.Smithnaturallyalsoin the middle ofhospital, is accompanyingwife who lived in the critically illguardianshiproom.
它来到了史密斯先生的餐厅,餐厅早早就已经打烊关灯了-这时候的史密斯先生自然还在医院当中,陪伴着住进去了重症监护室的妻子。
The black catjumped up the window of restaurant, looks in like this...... some little time, itjumps downfrom the window, takes a walkin the middle ofthisnightsilentsmall townagain.
黑猫跳上了餐厅的窗台,就这样看着里面……好一会儿之后,它才从窗台跳下,再一次在这深夜静默的小镇当中走动。Itpassed through the smallpark in intersectionposition, stopsslightly, thencontinuesto walk randomly...... the tailto shakegently.
它走过了街口位置的小公园,稍作停留,然后继续游走……尾巴在轻轻的摇动着。Is walking, itin a side that restedin the alleytrampstopped-, whenitarrived, a mousepulled outfrom the clothes of thistrampimmediatelypanic-stricken, fledall of a sudden, in an instantescapednot to have the shadowalong the sewer.
走着走着,它在一名睡在了巷子中的流浪汉的身边停了下来-当它到来的时候,一只老鼠顿时惊恐地从这名流浪汉的衣服中掏出,一下子奔逃而出,转眼间就沿着下水道逃了个没影。Ithas not cared about the mouse that thisfleespanic-stricken, butjumped up the chest of thistramp...... to squatgentlyin the chestleft, itlooks at the face of thistrampsilently.
它也没有在意这只惊恐逃离的老鼠,而是轻轻地跳上了这名流浪汉的胸膛……蹲在了胸膛出,它默默地看着这流浪汉的脸。Wind and frost, sloppy, the beard, the wrinkle of fold...... alsohasbit by bitis droppingbody temperature- the life of thistramp, came to the endbeforea halfhourprobably.
风霜,邋遢,胡子,褶皱似的皱纹……还有一点一点地下降着的体温-这名流浪汉的生命,大概就在半小时之前走到了尽头了。Itstailis still shaking, is touching the body of trampgently, looks likesometypeto caresslightly- finally, the temperature of trampbodyexhaustsfinally, becomesicy cold, itjumps downfrom the chest of tramp.
它的尾巴依然摇动着,轻轻地触碰着流浪汉的身体,就像是某种轻抚般-终于,流浪汉身体的温度最终耗尽,变得冰凉,它才从流浪汉的胸膛上跳下。Leaves, the tail of black catprevioussweepsin the forehead of tramp- the finalcurl of tail, a clasp, cancelled anything probably.
离开的时候,黑猫的尾巴在流浪汉的额头前一扫而过-尾巴的最后卷曲了起来,像是一个钩子,勾出来了点什么东西。Is a duskylightgroup- the lightgroup that itwill canceldelivered to the mouth, later the smallmouthsmallmouthplaceate.
是一个灰蒙蒙的光团-它将勾出来的光团送到了口中,随后小口小口地食用了起来。Itlooked likein the handto take between -meal snack the child who window-shopped...... to continueoneselfrandom walkonce again.
它就像是手中拿着零食正在逛街的孩子般……又一次继续了自己的游走。Finally, itendedthisrandom walktime, stoppedbefore a room- thisis the room of Mr.Smith, but the light in roomdoes not haveat this time.
终于,它结束了这一次的游走,在一栋屋子之前停了下来-这是史密斯先生的屋子,只是此时屋内的灯光全无。Itleavesfrom the iron gateall of a suddenturnsjumps, before arriving at the gate of room,- the body of black catstartsto grow, graduallyturns intoHardis who the appearance of person...... wore the blackformal clothes.
它一下子从铁门出翻跳而过,走到了屋子的门前-黑猫的身体开始生长,渐渐地变成了人的模样……穿着黑色礼服的哈迪斯。Hardis Stationbefore the main house gate of Mr.Smith, reorganized a neckbandbow tie, laterclears throat, is knocking the main house gate of Mr.Smithgently- naturallysomepeoplewill not respond, becauseMr.Smithat this timein the middle ofhospital.
哈迪斯站在了史密斯先生的家门前,整理了一下领口处的领结,随后清了清嗓子,接着轻轻地在敲着史密斯先生的家门-当然不会有人回应的,因为史密斯先生一家此时都在医院当中。Heisknows that no matterheknocks for onehour, twohours, somepeoplewill not open the doortohim...... heisknows that thereforeheis knocking the doorlike this.
他是知道的,不管他敲一个小时,两个小时,也不会有人给他开门的……他是知道的,所以他才这样的敲着门扉。Heknows.
他是知道的。Afterwardheno longerknocked on a door, butretroceded...... is backing down, thenmoved out of the way the smallpot on stair'sthirdlevel of stair, extendedfrom the stairboard the hand- hepulled out a keyfinally.
后来他不再敲门了,而是后退着……下了台阶,然后将台阶第三级台阶上的小花盆挪开,将手从台阶板下方伸了进来-他最后掏出来了一把钥匙。Opens the door, enters the room, closes...... henot to turn on the light, hecan seeall in darkness.
开门,进屋,关门……他没有开灯,他看得见黑暗中的一切。Heactuallywantsto turn on the light...... will perhaps turn on the light is very good.
他其实想要开灯的……或许开灯会很好。Hewent to the living roomgradually, transferredaround the sofa of living room, laterdid- straightens upmustsit down, both handsplacedon the thigh, aboutis sizing upall in living room.
他缓步来到了客厅,绕着客厅的沙发转了一圈,随后才做了下来-挺直着要坐下,双手放在了大腿上,左右地打量着客厅中的一切。Disperses the wool blanketonsofaat will, brought tohisattentionall of a sudden- hetook the wool blanket, thenboundonownbody.
一条随意地散在沙发上的毛毯,一下子就引起了他的注意-他将毛毯取了过来,然后裹在了自己的身上。Hecontinuedto size upall around...... the visionto seequicklyfronttableas well askitchen- hestoodall of a sudden, threw overlike thisbinds the wool blanketto arrive.
他继续打量着四周……目光很快就看到了前方的餐桌以及厨房-他一下子站了起来,就这样披裹着毛毯到来。On the stovealsohasloveMadameto give the dinner that Mrs.Debraprepares, perhapsbutis the ambulancecomes the timeto processwithout enough time, can only close the firesimply, is puttinglike this.
炉子上还有爱露拉夫人原本给黛布拉太太准备的晚餐,但恐怕是救护车来时候来不及处理,只能够简单地关了火,就这样放着。Heremoved the pot cover, was the borsch...... has passedobviouslycoolly.
他将锅盖揭开,是罗宋汤……显然是已经凉透了的。Hisactuallyvisiononebright, aboutlookedthento retrocededirectlyonestep, under the disinfectioncabinet in cabinet the stovegaveto open, took out a ladle.
他却目光一亮,左右看了看便直接后退了一步,将炉子下橱柜中的消毒柜给拉开,取出了一个勺子。Saidhe who Hardis before then, at this time the bowl on stoveholding, sat the table, is using the ladle in hand, atein the bowlwas passingcoolly the borschone after another.
自称哈迪斯的他,这时候将炉子上的锅子给捧了起来,然后坐到了餐桌前,就用着手中的勺子,一口一口地吃着锅子中凉透了的罗宋汤。LikesMadamehaving the bloodline of Russia, thereforelikesmaking the borsch...... heto eatwith the dactylis glomeratagenerallyis eating, finallylets loose the ladlesimply, held the bowldirectly, drank the remainingcooking liquorsunder.
爱露拉夫人拥有俄国的血统,所以一般喜欢用红菜来做罗宋汤……他吃着吃着,最后索性将勺子放开,直接捧起了锅子,将剩下的汤汁也喝了下。Do not eatsuchanxiously! The eatenmouthfulis! raise one's head, mother scratchestoyou.
别吃得这么急!吃的满嘴都是!抬头,妈妈给你擦一下。
His liftedsuddenly, evenclosed the eye, probablyis waiting foranything- hehas not waited, heopened the eye, laterimplored the tone...... he himselfto take upnapkinslowly, gavecleaningto be clean the cooking liquor on mouth.
他就这样忽然抬起了头来,甚至闭上了眼睛,好像是在等待着什么-他没有等到,他睁开了眼睛,随后缓缓地吁了口气……他自己拿起了纸巾,将嘴巴上的汤汁给擦拭干净。Hestood up the body, thenwalkedalong the staircase, before long before arrived at a gate of room,- thisis the Joeroom.
他又站起了身来,然后沿着楼梯走了上去,不一会就来到了一间房间的门前-这是Joe的房间。Opens the door, hewalked into the Joeroomdirectly, before arriving atthatonemetertwochildren'sbeds, hesmalldesk lamp on bedsidecabinetopening.
打开门,他直接走入了Joe的房间,来到了那张一米二的儿童床前,他将床边柜子上的小台灯给打开。Helay downlike this, is binding the body of wool blanket, hadto pull the cupto coveron the body, is rolling up the body, rested.
他就这样躺了下去,在裹着了毛毯的身上,有扯来了杯子盖在了身上,然后蜷缩着身体,睡了下去。Thenheput out a handto give the pass/test the smalldesk lamp.
然后他伸手把小台灯给关了。Hetwitteringwas saying: „Good night.”
他呢喃着说道:“晚安。”Thensilence reigns.
然后万籁俱寂。
......
……
......
……Second Heavenquickarrival...... inthisworn-outroom, the firstinstance when Sunraises, raybyslitinjectionroomin the middle oftime, TeacherPurinthenopened the eyeslowly.第二天很快到来……在这破旧的屋子中,当太阳升起的第一个瞬间,光线透过缝隙射入屋子当中的时候,普林老师便缓缓地睁开了眼睛。Hegood to seem like not tired, butgets upsilently, thenarrived in the middle of the bathroom in room, twisted offalreadyrusted the faucet, combed the hair and wash the facetooneselfsimply.
他好想看起来不怎么累了,只是默默地起来,然后走到了屋子内的浴室当中,拧开了已经生锈了的水龙头,简单地给自己梳洗了一下。„Thank youaccompaniedmyevening.” After combing the hair and wash the face, TeacherPurinlooksmirror...... mirrorinverted imagesaidsomewherelike this.
“谢谢你陪了我一个晚上。”梳洗完毕之后,普林老师看着镜子……镜子所倒影的某处这样说道。Sees only a beamspotsmallmosquitoto flyto fall, laterturned into the Neroappearance.
只见门梁处一只小小的蚊子飞落,随后变成了尼禄的样子。„Early, littleElder Brother~”sherelied onat willin a place, before is rubbing the volume, somewhatscattered in disorderbangshair, whileis taking a look atTeacherPurin, laterexchanged a smiling face, stretched out the palm, „over nightfee/spent, receivedbright100dollars~!”
“早呀,小哥哥~”她随意地倚在了门处,一边揉着额前有些散乱的刘海发丝,一边打量着普林老师,随后换上了一副笑脸,伸出了手掌,“过夜费,承慧100块钱~!”TeacherPurinturns aroundslowly, said indifferently: „Onmedoes not havemoney, moreover...... Icannot thinklikeyou, but alsoneeds the wealthto makeanything.”
普林老师缓缓转过身来,淡然道:“我身上没有钱,而且……我也想不到像你这样的,还需要钱财来做什么。”Neronarrows the eyesto focusto say with a smile: „Becauseabovehas a notgoodmanager, squeezingworkalsodoes not giveto provide the wage, thereforeotherscan be said asverypoor!”尼禄眯着眼笑道:“因为上面有个无良的总管,压榨工作的同时也不给发放薪水,所以人家可说是很穷的呀!”TeacherPurinshakes the head, „youhave taken awaymybook.”
普林老师摇摇头,“你已经把我的书拿走了。”Nerolooks athisboth eyes, suddenlyasked: „Do yourecognizeme?”尼禄看着他的双眼,忽然问道:“你认不认得我?”TeacherPurinfeelssomewhatwith amazement, saidlater: „Naturallyrecognizes, Ithink that mymemorynotsuchdifference...... after allover the two days, we third time aremet, whyaskedlike this?”
普林老师感觉有些惊讶,随后道:“当然认得,我想我的记性并没有这样的差……毕竟这两天,我们已经是第三次见面了,为什么这样问?”In the putting aside as uselesswarehouse, the secondtime the thirdtime Nerois for the first time last nightin front ofhospital...... the presentisin the heartflashed throughthesethreemeetingtimesfast the scene.
第一次是在废置的仓库,第二次是昨夜在医院门前……现在是第三次-尼禄心中飞快地闪过这三次见面时候的情景。Sheholds the heartimmediately, a facemiserableappearance, „didn't youreallyrememberme? Obviouslychildhoodyouandotherslooked atmoontime, but alsocalledmybig sister, the youngsweetheart, said that mustprotectmefor a lifetime.”
她顿时捧着心,一脸楚楚可怜的模样,“你真的不记得我了吗?明明小时候的你和人家看月亮的时候,还喊我大姐姐,小甜心,说要守护我一辈子的。”„Whoyouadmitted mistakes.”TeacherPulleyopened the opens the mouth.
“你是不是认错谁了。”普利老师张了张口。Untilat this time, hedeterminedfinally a point, hetrulydid not understand that thiswhite hairgirl- shehasmany, eachsideisshe......, therefore, heis not always ableto vacillatehimwith the simplelanguage.
直到这时候,他终于确定了一点,他确实不了解这个白发女孩-她有多面,每一面都是她……所以一直以来,他都无法用简单的语言去动摇得了他。Meanwhilehewas also self-ridiculing,oneselflooks likeregarding the understanding of personis still insufficient-, butoriginally, thiswhite hairgirl, cannotchoose a personto limit.
同时他也在自嘲,自己对于人的了解看来依然不够-但本来,这个白发女孩,也已经不能用人去界定了吧。„Don't youreallyknowme?”Neroentered the front of TeacherPurinall of a sudden, is tilting the headsizes up.
“你真的不认识我?”尼禄一下子走进到了普林老师的面前,歪着头打量。TeacherPurinspatsaid angrilygently: „Ihavestarting from the childhoodto the presentcompletememory, Ialsobelieve firmlyoneselfhave not forgottenanything......, thereforeIwasam impossibleto knowyour.”
普林老师轻轻吐了口气道:“我拥有从小时候开始到现在的完整记忆,我也确信自己没有遗忘什么……所以我是不可能认识你的。”„Youare lying.”Nerosaidsuddenlyin a low voice, „youinelaborating a fact in lie.”
“你在说谎。”尼禄忽然低声说道,“你在阐述一个谎言中的事实。”TeacherPurinretrocededslightlyonestep, spread outamongwithNero, using the tone of Nerofirst meetingtime saying: „Youmustthink that issuchwords, then...... myit's nothingsaidonhow about this. ButIhopedo not approachMr.Smithagain.”
普林老师稍稍后退了一步,拉开了与尼禄之间的距离,用着尼禄初次见面时候的口吻说道:“你要认为是这样的话,那就这样吧……我没什么好说的。但我还是希望你不要再靠近史密斯先生一家。”„Ihow, ifapproached?”Nerosneersto saysuddenly: „Icanget rid ofonetimeyou, naturally can also get rid of your secondtime. Moreoverthistime, yourbookalsoin my hands.”
“我要是靠近了又怎样?”尼禄突然冷笑道:“我可以把你干掉一次,自然也可以干掉你第二次。而且这次,你的书还在我的手中。”„Yousaidit.”UnexpectedlyTeacherPurinholds up the palmat this timeat will- blacksealbookappearedin the middle ofhispalminstantaneously.
“你说它吗。”不料普林老师此时随意地将手掌举起-黑色的封皮书瞬间出现在了他的手掌当中。Nerois startled, subconsciouslyblinks, later the palminsertedin the middle ofownbodyall of a sudden, startedto pull outcarelesslygot up...... to pull outsome little time, shesaidsurprisedly: „Well, reallydisappears!”尼禄一怔,下意识地眨了眨眼睛,随后手掌一下子插入了自己的身体当中,开始胡乱地掏了起来……掏了好一会儿,她不禁大为惊奇道:“咦,真的不见了!”„The it's nothingtime, Imustgo out.”TeacherPurinshakes the head, „you, iflikesfollowing, thatwith...... bestdo not turn into the mosquito.”
“没什么时候,我要出门了。”普林老师摇摇头,“你要是喜欢跟着,那就跟着吧……不过最好还是不要变成蚊子了。”Hepasses throughfromNerolike this, thenpreparesto go out.
他就这样从尼禄身边走过,然后准备出门。Nerosaidat this timesuddenlyin a low voice: „Hardis.”尼禄此时忽然低声说道:“哈迪斯。”Meanwhilesheis also observingTeacherPurin'sresponse- shediscovered that TeacherPurinreallyhas the responseregardingthisname, butmerelyis only an unexpectedresponse.
同时她也在观察着普林老师的反应-她发现普林老师确实对于这个名字有反应,但仅仅只是一种意外的反应。Sees onlyTeacherPurinto turn around, saidcuriously: „Hardis? Whatyousaidiswhy that yama of Greekgoddepartment...... raisesthisnamesuddenly.”
只见普林老师转身,好奇道:“哈迪斯?你说的是希腊神系的那位冥王吗……为什么突然提起这个名字。”Neroshrugs saying: „Did not feel that looks likevery much, yourability...... looks likeHardisto be the same.”尼禄耸耸肩道:“不感觉很像吗,你的能力……就像是哈迪斯一样。”TeacherPurinsilentmoment, „perhaps...... also brings the ability of death, butIwas not.”
普林老师沉默了片刻,“或许吧……同样也是带来死亡的能力,但我并不是。”„Ialsosaid the resembles, had not said that youare.”Nerosmilesat will.
“我也只是说像而已,并没有说你就是。”尼禄随意笑了笑。TeacherPurinnods, latergoes out- hehas not continuedto continueto talkwithNerois too many, something are not the puremilitary forcecanbe solved...... . Moreover, sinceeventhatbookused, finallythisresult, was the military forceis not naturally ableto be solved.
普林老师点点头,随后出门-他没有继续和尼禄继续交谈太多,有些事情不是单纯的武力可以解决……而且,既然连那本书都用上了,最后还是这种结果的话,自然是武力也无法解决的了。Ifshehas followedoneself, perhapsfromsomeperspective, is a good deed.
她若是一直跟着自己,或许从某个方面来说,是一件好事。After allso long asshehas followed, hecandetermine,shehas not goneto be close toMr.Smith.
毕竟只要她一直跟着,他就能够确定,她并没有去接近史密斯先生一家了。LooksTeacherPurin who goes outlike this, Nero by front ofthisworn-outroom, startsto rubbangshair before volume, thought aloud: „Quitestrange......”
看着就这样出门的普林老师,尼禄靠在了这破旧屋子的门前,又开始揉着自己额前的刘海发丝,自言自语道:“好奇怪呀……”
The Yan Demonbladehad cuthalf of TeacherPurin, andswallowedthishalf- butat this timeTeacherPurinhas gotten back, the half of thenbeing cutdo not seemto lose are the same.阎魔刀曾经斩过了普林老师的一半,并且将这一半都吞了进去-但这时候普林老师已经恢复过来了,那被斩掉的一半好像从来没有丢失过一样。Butthisdoes not makeNerofeelstrangest- perhapsafter all the strength of soulshedid not have the meansthoroughunderstanding...... sheis notbossalsohasthatnotgoodmiss maid...... to be regarded ashisonespecial capabilitythesituation of TeacherPurinto be OK.
但这并不是让尼禄感觉最奇怪的-毕竟灵魂的力量她也没有办法彻底了解……她也不是老板还有那位无良的女仆小姐……或许将普林老师的这种情况看作是他的一种特殊能力就可以了。Therefore, whatmakingherstrangestis...... relations between thistwo and old.
所以,让她最为奇怪的是……这个二哈与老哈之间的关系。Oldisrecognizesher, buttwolooks likefrom the beforehandresponse, did not knowcompletelyher- oldspeechNerohas also distinguishedcarefully, trulyis not the lie...... understands clearly the lie, thisseems like the Black Soul Envoyintrinsic capability, thismadeherbe ableeasilyto distinguishopposite party'sspeech- how, even if the opposite partycontrolledagainwellto the mood, even ifperforming skillhowexcellent of opposite party.
老哈是认得她的,但二哈从之前的反应看来,是完全不认识她的-老哈的说话尼禄也仔细分辨过,确实也不是谎言……洞悉谎言,这好像是黑魂使者的固有能力,这让她能够轻易地分辨得了对方的说话-哪怕对方对情绪控制得再怎么好,哪怕对方的演技再怎么的高超。Sinceoldhas not liedwithtwoeach ones, thenwhat exactly is itmade a mistake.
既然老哈与二哈各自都没有说谎的,那么到底是什么出错了呢。Neromakes an effortto stretch oneself, the peak the neck, „the what exactly is itplacemade a mistake, will letyourflavorsisexactly the same...... is really interesting!”尼禄用力地伸了伸懒腰,耸了耸脖子,“到底是什么地方出错了,才会让你们的味道都是一模一样的呢……真是有趣啊!”Therefore, Nerofelttrulywhatis strange: Yan DemonbladeonceJinswallowedgeneral of TeacherPurin, the Yan Demonbladealsocut the body of Joeto take out the Joesouldirectly, the Yan Demonbladealsopenetrated the oldbodydirectly, bumped intohissoulaura- howeverold, twoas well asJoe, their three flavors of souls, were actually same.
所以,尼禄真正感觉到古怪的是:阎魔刀曾今吞下了普林老师的一般,阎魔刀也直接划开了Joe的身体取出Joe的灵魂,阎魔刀也直接穿透了老哈的身体,碰到了他的灵魂气息-而老哈,二哈以及Joe,他们三个灵魂的味道,其实是一样的。Simply speaking- samesoul, threedifferentindividuals. Oldhassimilarability...... to seem like the yamaHardis'sabilitywithtwo, as forJoeis only the little rascal who a fiveyears old of anythingdoes not understand.
简单来说-同一个灵魂,三个不同的个体。老哈与二哈拥有相类似的能力……像是冥王哈迪斯的能力,至于Joe只是一个五岁大什么都不懂的小鬼。Ifsaid that Joehasanythingto be special, probablyonly thenhecanfeel【God of death】 The arrival, is the inspiration is quite at most keenerthis.
若说Joe有什么特别的话,大概就只有他能够感觉到【死神】的到来,顶多就是灵感比较敏锐一些这点而已。„Six months ago?”
“半年前?”NerorememberedJoeto saysuddenly the matter of entire familybarrel, a visionrevolutionthenas ifhadidea- shebites the lip, latermade an effortto make a movement of vomit...... onegroup of blackgreygroupshapethingat this timeto put outfromhermouthdirectly.尼禄忽然想起了Joe说过的全家桶的事情,目光一转便似乎有了主意-她咬了咬嘴唇,随后用力地做出了一个呕吐的动作……一团黑灰色的团状物这时候直接从她的嘴巴当中吐出。
The groupshapeownersmalltail that spits, a pairis drawing insmall hand- her ownface, at leastseems likeveryimmature- simply speaking, probablyspirit.
吐出来的团状物拥有者小小的尾巴,还有一双收拢着的小手-还有她自己的脸,至少看起来十分的稚嫩-简单来说,好像是幽灵般。Neropatted the head of thisgroup of shapesatisfied, laterreferred to the direction that TeacherPurinleft...... groupshapepursuingall of a sudden.尼禄满意地拍了拍这团状物的脑袋,随后指了指普林老师离开的方向……团状物一下子就追了上去。Then, sheplanned that a localpolice station- goes to the police station before again, Neroplansfirstto buy a breakfastto eatin the small town.
接着,她打算去一趟当地的警察局-不过再去警察局之前,尼禄打算先在小镇上买一份早餐吃。Black Soul Envoyactuallydoes not needfood......, butsheis still retainingthishabit.黑魂使者其实是不需要食物的……但她依然保留着这种习惯。
It looks like Dazheto be gladto do the houseworkvery much, looks likebossaccording to the work and rest of normal person, butwork and restsame- theyare retainingsomeformerhabit.
就像是大哲会很乐于做家务,就像是老板会按照正常人的作息而作息一样-他们都在保留着一些从前的习惯。Naturally, without the reason that choosing the manorhas the breakfastis: Shegoes backnowdefinitelyislatest!
当然,没有选择回去庄园吃早餐的原因是:她现在回去肯定是最迟的了!Do not wash dishes!
才不要洗碗呢!Slightlyslightlyslightly-!
