The dim light of night removes, occupies the pale scar of entire sky also to dissipate gradually, Duncan stands in the fantail deck raises head to gaze at the sky, has not let off this day and night to take turn the time any detail. 夜色褪去,占据整个天空的苍白伤痕也随之渐渐消散,邓肯站在船尾甲板仰头注视着天空,没有放过这昼夜交替时刻的任何一点细节。 He saw the dreamland that scar as if awakes gradually little becomes transparent and illusory, the grayish white colored light fog that its surroundings dissipate first and sky fuses together, is main body —— of scar, but in this entire process, that „scar” the position has not changed. 他看到那道伤痕就仿佛渐醒的梦境般一点点变得透明、虚幻,其周围逸散出的灰白色光雾首先和天空融为一体,紧接着是伤痕的本体——而在这整个过程中,那“伤痕”的位置都不曾改变过。 Duncan blinks, in the heart exudes the further speculation faintly: That trace of sky has not changed the position, explained some of it not remote astronomy structure? Explained it is only some type of India in the atmosphere background, as the illusory image of Boundless Sea synchronous motion? 邓肯眨了眨眼,心中隐隐泛起进一步的推测:天空的那道痕迹并未改变位置,是否说明它并不是某种遥远的天文结构？是否说明它只是某种“印”在大气层背景中的、会随着无垠海同步运动的幻影？ Is star that because Boundless Sea is at( if here were really a star) and that scar happen to maintained the synchronized operation? Also or that scar is actually moving, but because isn't the hour of observation is too short, able to detect with the naked eye? 或者是由于无垠海所在的星球(如果这里真的是一颗星球的话)和那道伤痕正好保持了同步运行？亦或者那道伤痕其实是在移动,但由于观测时间太短,无法用肉眼察觉？ Various speculations in mind continuously, but Duncan is very clear, before having substantial evidence as well as reliable experimental verification, these suspicions are also only the suspicions, behind a natural phenomenon possible explanation 20 million, but lacks the theory and evidence supports is the empty talk. 种种猜想在脑海中此起彼伏,但邓肯十分清楚,在有充足的证据以及可靠的实验验证之前,这些猜想也都只是猜想罢了,一个自然现象背后可能的解释有千千万,但缺乏理论与证据支撑一切都是空谈。 That wheel „Sun” rose. 那轮“太阳”升起来了。 First is the golden brilliance that day of sea appears, is the giant illumination syntagma surfaces towering, along with the multi-colored sunlight of resplendence, appeared by the luminous body sphere of dual rune structure locking in the Duncan field of vision. 最先是天海一线出浮现出的金色光辉,紧接着便是巨大的发光结构体突兀地浮出海面,伴随着辉煌灿烂的霞光,被双重符文结构锁定的光体圆球出现在邓肯的视野中。 Under the operation of slowly rune structure, Sun rises dignified, this dignified process as if has some sound —— some low and deep, powerful and slow thundering to reverberate illusory when the Duncan mind, but when he really listens with rapt attention, that sound actually vanished suddenly. 在符文结构的缓缓运行下,太阳庄严地上升,这个威严的过程仿佛有着某种声音——某种低沉、有力、迟缓的轰鸣虚幻地在邓肯脑海中回荡开来,但当他真的凝神去听时,那声音却突然消失了。 He knits the brows, somewhat suspected whether oneself had the auditory hallucination a moment ago, the memory that but that sound brings is so bright, keeping him from denying. 他皱了皱眉,有些怀疑自己刚才是否产生了幻听,但那声音所带来的记忆是如此鲜明,让他根本无法否认。 Is that...... Sun when the rise this world to announcement that sends out? Also or is only one of many illusions Boundless Sea brings? 那是……太阳在上升时向这个世界发出的宣告？亦或者只是无垠海带来的诸多幻觉之一？ No one can explain the doubts of Duncan, length and breadth boundless Boundless Sea keeps all secrets as always. 没有谁能解答邓肯的疑惑,广袤无边的无垠海一如既往保守着所有的秘密。 Pigeon Ai such as usually squats equally easily and comfortably on the shoulder of Duncan, then it stood very much suddenly, makes an effort to whip the wing, looks at the sea level while compels loudly: „French Fries! French Fries!” 鸽子艾伊如平常一样安逸地蹲在邓肯的肩膀上,接着它很突然地站了起来,用力拍打着翅膀,一边看着海面一边大声逼逼着:“整点薯条！整点薯条！” Duncan could not bear smile, he looked at this strange pigeon one, suddenly thought that had such bird gadget always to make him in the cynical remark that probably also pretty good —— this pigeon whirlwind came out once for a while produce some „the warm feelings of hometown”. 邓肯忍不住笑了起来,他看了这个古怪的鸽子一眼,突然觉得有这么个鸟玩意儿在好像也不赖——这鸽子时不时飚出来的怪话总能让他产生一些“家乡的亲切感”。 „Pitifully on the ship does not have the fries,” he provoked a mouth shell of pigeon conveniently, turns around to move toward the direction of Room Captain, „, but had a few words you to say right, must make the point to eat.” “可惜船上没有薯条,”他随手拨弄了一下鸽子的嘴壳,转身走向船长的方向,“但有一句话你说对了,得弄点吃的。” A moment later, Vanished Captain was oneself prepares Ghost Ship characteristics traditional breakfast —— in Captain, Duncan the navigation table will regard the table directly, placed by several trays the nautical chart spatial desktop, today's breakfast was like yesterday's each food of dinner, yesterday's lunch as well as past, was the dried meat, cheese and plain boiled water. 片刻之后,失乡号的船长为自己准备好了幽灵船特色传统早餐——在船长室内,邓肯直接将航海桌当成了餐桌,把几个盘子放在海图旁边的空桌面上,今天的早餐和昨天的晚餐、昨天的午餐以及过去的每顿饭一样,是肉干、奶酪与白开水。 Duncan sits before the navigation table, earnest, and ceremonial was oneself spread out the napkin, Goat Head calmly treated in his opposite, his left hand was Cursed Doll Alice that early morning ran to greet, that only strange pigeon squatted in his right hand on desktop. 邓肯坐在航海桌前,认真且仪式性地为自己铺上了餐巾,山羊头静静地待在他的对面,他左手边是一大早就跑来打招呼的诅咒人偶爱丽丝,那只古怪的鸽子则蹲在他右手边的桌面上。 Duncan suddenly felt, this picture starts to conform to oneself as „Ghost Captain” the person supposed —— to represent the devil the goat woodcarving, Cursed Doll that is unable to discard, knew the different knowledge can say the bird, sat in seat of honor Ghost Captain, this racket did not need to cultivate/repair can give the movie to work as the title page...... 邓肯突然觉得,这一幕画面开始符合自己作为“幽灵船长”的人设了——代表恶魔的山羊木雕,无法丢弃的诅咒人偶,知晓异界知识的能言之鸟,还有坐在主位的幽灵船长,这拍下来不用修都能给电影当封面的…… But the meals present situation on Vanished only then the litigant knows that is how a situation. 但失乡号上的伙食现状只有当事人才知道是怎么个情况。 Duncan sighed, looked down the thing —— movie poster beginning picture in dinner plate ended, 邓肯叹了口气,低头看着餐盘中的东西——电影海报般的开场画面结束了, Then is on Vanished the real life of daily necessities. He takes up the table knife, makes an effort to cut on the cheese, in the hard object friction had the sound sound, he poked nearby dried meat with the fork, the dried meat and tray collides, sent out clearly dingdong the sound. 接下来是失乡号上柴米油盐的真实生活。他拿起餐刀,用力切在奶酪上,硬物摩擦中有吱吱嘎嘎的声音响了起来,他又用叉子戳了戳旁边的肉干,肉干和盘子碰撞,发出清脆的叮当声响。 Alice looks at this curiously, finally could not bear ask one: „Is Captain, same as yesterday's food today?” 爱丽丝好奇地看着这一幕,终于忍不住问了一句:“船长,今天和昨天的饭一样啊？” „Tomorrow's will also be the same,” Duncan looked up this Cursed Doll one, „do you want to try?” “明天的也会一样,”邓肯抬头看了这个诅咒人偶一眼,“你要试试？” Alice thinks, takes up a dried meat with the hand directly, admitted in the mouth to make an effort to chew two, then bah bah spat: „It is not delicious!” 爱丽丝想了想,直接用手拿起一条肉干,放进嘴巴里用力嚼了两下,紧接着便呸呸地吐了出来:“一点都不好吃！” „Is delicious you unable to eat —— you to have the stomach?” Duncan put out a hand to take away in Alice the remaining half dried meat, „made you try you also really trial.” “好吃你也吃不下去——你有胃么？”邓肯伸手拿走了爱丽丝手里剩下的半条肉干,“让你试你还真试。” Saying, he somewhat worried looked at food one in tray. 说着,他又有些发愁地看了盘子里的食物一眼。 Food that on the ship can find only then these, the taste of dried meat looked like added the pressboard of salt, the cheese mixed the sand probably loosely the firewood, moreover processed no matter how has strange taste, he also once tried the water used to boil the dried meat or conducts the roasting, to live to fry, but spent the big vigor unable the tastes and flavors of these things improves. 船上能找到的食物只有这些,肉干的口感像加了盐的厚纸板,奶酪则像是疏松掺沙的木柴,而且不管怎么处理都有一股怪味,他也曾尝试用水煮一下肉干或进行烘烤、生煎,但费了好大劲也没能把这些东西的口感和味道变好一点。 The good news is these food does not have the corruption at least, will not kill by poison, the bad news was the strength that Time passed still had not turned into some type not to recommend some condition —— Duncan completely reasons of lower pharynx to believe this cheese these rotten material extremely the age compared with the oneself also big several rounds, but if these dried meat also lived have also been witnessing wind and rain rise and fall of century at least. 好消息是这些食物最起码没有腐败,不会把人毒死,坏消息是岁月流逝的力量仍旧把这些不曾腐烂的物质变成了某种极端不推荐下咽的状态——邓肯完全有理由相信这奶酪的岁数比自己还大好几轮,而那些肉干如果还活着的话起码也都见证过一个世纪的风雨兴衰。 Perhaps Vanished Captain does not need to be worried about the scurvy, but Duncan still yearned that very much the healthy diet matches —— to be minimum, he hopes that the food in tray can be younger than oneself. 失乡号的船长或许不用担心坏血病,但邓肯仍旧很向往健康的饮食搭配——起码,他希望盘子里的食物能比自己年轻一点。 Is the same age also good. 同岁也行。 Yesterday in the heart has calculated „Vanished commodity supplies plan” and „land exploration program” floated the mind again. 昨天心中盘算过的“失乡号物资补给计划”与“陆地探索计划”再次浮上脑海。 But this is not a short time is achievable. 但这都不是一时半会可以实现的。 Duncan sighed , to continue to avenge a grievance the stance cuts in the tray „firewood”, was crooked the head to look at half-day Ai on nearby table to walk curiously, this bird first looked at own master one eyes, looked at the thing in tray: „Is crystal ore reserves insufficient?” 邓肯叹了口气,继续以报仇雪恨般的姿态去切割盘子里的“木柴”,在旁边桌子上歪着脑袋看了半天的艾伊则好奇地走了过来,这鸟先看了自己的主人一眼,又看了看盘子里的东西:“晶体矿储量不足？” Duncan looked at pigeon one, pinched the falling cheese fragments to throw to it conveniently, Ai lowering the head pecked two, immediately with suddenly with halting a whole body stiff stand that motionless...... 邓肯看了鸽子一眼,随手捏了点掉落的奶酪碎屑扔给它,艾伊低头啄了两下,立刻就跟突然跟死机似的浑身一僵站那不动了…… This bird was so for enough stiff 34 seconds, moves suddenly, it throws is flapping the wings to fly on nearby rack, makes the breathless sound: „I starve to death today, dying outside, jumps from here, will not eat......” 这鸟就这么僵了足足三四秒钟,才突然间活动起来,它扑啦啦地拍着翅膀飞到旁边的架子上,发出气急败坏的声音:“我今天就是饿死,死外边,从这儿跳下去,也不会吃……” Duncan felt that oneself injury evil, but peaceful half-day Goat Head could not bear start to make the wood/blockhead friction sound opposite of the table with great difficulty finally. 邓肯感觉自己受了点伤害,而在桌子对面好不容易安静了半天的山羊头则终于忍不住开始发出吱吱嘎嘎的木头摩擦声音。 Before this goods drill oneself makes a fire, Duncan finally nods: „Had the words to say.” 在这货钻自己取火之前,邓肯终于点点头:“有话就说。” „Is Captain,” Goat Head may calculate that opportunity of speech, immediately is boisterous, „I have wanted to ask from yesterday, the is that you bring...... calls ‚Ai’? Does it speak I always unable to understand? Yesterday I think an evening, what meaning is the sufficient Q coin?” “是的船长,”山羊头可算有了说话的机会,立刻聒噪起来,“我从昨天就一直想问了,您带来的这位……是叫‘艾伊’吧？它说话我怎么总是听不懂呢？昨天我想了一晚,充Q币到底是什么意思？” Duncan selected under eyebrow —— he really not to think immediately this Goat Head can suppress to ask unexpectedly at this time, oneself also underestimated this goods self-control unexpectedly! 邓肯顿时挑了下眉毛——他是真没想到这山羊头竟然能憋到这时候才问出来,自己竟然还低估了这货的自制力！ „You do not need to care, thought very strange Duncan of this bird has not stopped the woodworking in hand, but is in the knife and fork with the hand sends out the adze to chisel the sound that the axe saws while speaks thoughtlessly to say has thought that the good pretence under pretext, „ it will as if come and person with the language that one set of its oneself can understand exchanges, listened to guess correctly probably it was what meaning.” “你不必在意,这只鸟的思维很古怪邓肯没有停下手中的木工活,而是一边用手中刀叉发出锛凿斧锯的声音一边随口说出了早就想好的托词,“它似乎会用一套只有它自己能理解的语言来和人交流,听多了就能大概猜到它是什么意思。” „Is this?” Goat Head still thinks, „, but I always felt in its words is hiding some logic probably...... seems behind that language to hide one set completely, knowledge of self consistent method...... you did discover Ai in the Spirit World Walk process? Then it can be some projection from Deep Sea depth? You know that a deeper place more will have the information from dislocation space and time to reappear in the form of projection, many we had not understood losing time, even certain fragments of future, what Ai perhaps said is the matter of another space and time?” “是这样么？”山羊头兀自思索起来,“但我总感觉它的话语中好像隐藏着某种逻辑……就好像那语言背后隐藏着一套完整的、自洽的知识似的……您是在灵界行走的过程中发现了艾伊？那它会不会是某种来自幽邃深度的投影？您知道的,越深的地方就越是会有来自错位时空的信息以投影的形式浮现出来,其中不乏一些我们未曾了解过的失落时代,甚至未来的某些碎片,艾伊或许说的是另一个时空的事情？” The cutting work in Duncan hand stopped the flash at the unobservable scope, all usual, simultaneously the tone said one lightly: „That wishes you soon to summarize the Ai language back logic.” 邓肯手中的切削工作以肉眼难以察觉的幅度停顿了一瞬间,紧接着一切如常,同时语气平淡地说了一句:“那祝你早日总结出艾伊语言背后的逻辑。” Perhaps the Goat Head words are speak thoughtlessly reckless Cai, but disclosed the information that actually started the mighty waves in the Duncan heart inevitably! 山羊头的话或许是随口胡猜,但其中透露出的信息却不可避免地在邓肯心中掀起了波澜！ In the Spirit World Walk process, his soul approached this world „Deep Layer”? In more „deep” will the place, more see the projection from dislocation space and time? Can these projections even present the scene in different time line? 灵界行走的过程中,他的灵魂靠近了这个世界的“更深层”？在越“深”的地方,越是会见到来自错位时空的投影？那些投影甚至有可能呈现出不同时间线中的景象？ Duncan has not seen anything in Spirit World Walk „the scenery in different time line”, but Goat Head has a few words not to speak incorrectly —— Ai, truly came from another space and time. 邓肯在灵界行走的时候可没看到什么“不同时间线中的风景”,但山羊头有一句话却没说错——艾伊,确实是来自另一个时空的。 Then...... this pigeon by named „Zhou Ming” the earthman brought this world, really such as Goat Head said that from Deep Layer of this world? 那么……这只鸽子到底是被名为“周铭”的地球人带到了这个世界,还是真的如山羊头所说,是从这个世界的更深层而来？
