The last corridor to mechanical cabin is sultry and dim, the abominable intent chaotic mechanical vibrations and bellow like must sneak in the brains of person to be endless, the light on wall as if met the air current not steady issue, the flame in chimney swayed the twinkle. 通往机械舱的最后一条走廊闷热而昏暗,令人心烦意乱的机械振动和轰鸣声就像要钻进人的脑髓般无休无止,墙壁上的灯光似乎遇上了气流不稳的问题,灯罩中的火焰摇晃闪烁。 But all these, compare constraining that more and more intense being out of sorts feeling and intense feeling bring, and thought tears the dizziness of causing gradually. 但所有这些,都比不过越来越强烈的违和感与紧张感所带来的压抑,以及思维渐渐撕裂所导致的眩晕。 Belazov is controlling the own footsteps, is controlling the own expression. 贝拉佐夫控制着自己的脚步,控制着自己的表情。 More close to petrel number most deep place, he more is to make the own step steady, expression such as in the past general calm. 越是靠近海燕号的最深处,他就越是让自己的步履平稳,表情如往常一般冷静。 Some crew stay to talk in the corridor, they put on the strange leather...... „coat”, skin fold pile of repeats on face, the sound sounds seems like humming sound the noise. 有船员在走廊中停留交谈,他们穿着古怪的皮质……“外衣”,脸上的皮肤褶皱堆迭,声音听上去像是嗡嗡的噪音。 Belazov walks toward them, his mind told oneself, these crew were oneself soldiers, but he could not recall the names of these people. 贝拉佐夫向他们走去,他的头脑告诉自己,这几名船员是自己手下的士兵,但他回忆不起这些人的名字。 „General?” A soldier welcomed, looks at Belazov curiously, „what do you have to tell?” “将军？”一名士兵迎了上来,好奇地看着贝拉佐夫,“您有什么吩咐？” „Is only inspects the situation in mechanical cabin,” the Belazov expression is responding to the strange soldier calmly, „keeps on the own post.” “只是来检查一下机械舱的情况,”贝拉佐夫表情平静地回应着陌生的士兵,“留在自己的岗位上。” The soldiers are gazing at him, later salutes, retreat: „Yes, General.” 士兵注视着他,随后行礼,后退:“是,将军。” Belazov passes through from these people, is stepping the steady usual footsteps, he can feel, the lines of sight of these soldiers stayed a meeting on oneself, but quick shifted. 贝拉佐夫从这些人中间穿过,迈着平稳如常的脚步,他能感觉到,这些士兵的视线在自己身上停留了一会,但很快就转移开了。 Are they really the own soldiers? Are they really the petrel number crew members? Are the thing of that concealment? Also or is some lackey? Did they notice? Has been tempered with a sense of caution? Will the soldier who the next second...... these cannot recall the name throw toward oneself? 他们真的是自己的士兵吗？他们真的是海燕号的乘员吗？他们是那隐匿之物？亦或者是某种爪牙？他们注意到了吗？或者已经心生警惕？下一秒……这些记不起名字的士兵会朝自己扑过来吗？ Belazov presses all trains of thought in the heart, until arriving in the entrance of mechanical cabin, opens strobe that say/way had not caged. 贝拉佐夫将所有的思绪都压在心底,直到抵达机械舱的入口,打开了那道并未上锁的闸门。 A more grating mechanical noise heads on. 更加刺耳的机械噪声扑面而来。 The steam core is operating in the full power, in the spheroidal vessel is fermenting the astonishing rushing power, the complex pipeline system hissing makes noise on the ceiling of mechanical cabin, the giant connecting rod and gear are revolving in the steel frame of cabin end fast. 蒸汽核心正在全功率运行,球型容器中酝酿着惊人的澎湃动力,复杂的管道系统在机械舱的天花板上嘶嘶作响,巨大的连杆和齿轮在舱室尽头的钢铁框架中飞快运转着。 Cheerful of very machine run, even...... arrives cheerfully somewhat frantically. 机器运行的十分欢快,甚至……欢快到有些狂热。 Probably a moving restlessly soul, is promoting these serious steel gear extreme twists, promoting this ship to move to the city of civilized world at the speed of limit. 就好像一个躁动的灵魂,在推动着那些沉重的钢铁齿轮急速旋转,推动着这艘船以极限的速度驶向文明世界的城市。 In the fizz that the steam conduit hears seems combining twittering fuzzy whispering. 蒸汽管道传来的嘶嘶声中仿佛都混杂着呢喃模糊的低语。 The Belazov body somewhat sways, but is quick he then to stabilize, takes a step to walk in the direction of steam core. 贝拉佐夫身体有些摇晃,但很快他便稳定下来,迈步朝着蒸汽核心的方向走去。 A pastor before the valve sways to fumigate with incense, he has turned the head suddenly, looks is entering the general in mechanical cabin, his chest don't the Church symbol as if caught greasy dirt, making above Sacred Talisman seem slurred. 一名牧师正在阀门前摇晃熏香,他突然转过头,看着正走进机械舱的将军,其胸口别着的教会徽记似乎染上了一层油污,让上面的神圣符号显得模糊不清。 „General?” The pastor throws the line of sight curiously, „do you come to here suddenly? Here......” “将军？”牧师好奇地投来视线,“您怎么突然来这儿？这里的……” „I take a look at...... the situation of steam core.” Belazov is saying, the vision falls on the incense furnace in pastor hand. “我来看看……蒸汽核心的情况。”贝拉佐夫说着,目光落在牧师手中的熏香炉上。 This small meatball is swaying in the air gently, above opened a pale eye. 这小肉球在空气中轻轻摇晃着,上面睁开了一只苍白的眼睛。 He raised the head, looked that to these steam mechanism/organization that operates, pipeline system that as well as these hissing make noise. 他又抬起头,看向那些正在运行的蒸汽机关,以及那些嘶嘶作响的管道系统。 The gas that dissipates from the steam conduit is exuding the blood-color, the gear edge blurry of revolving twists fast, as if has anything to parasite in this set of huge machine, replaced originally the sacred steam with its venomous soul. 从蒸汽管道中逸散出来的气体泛着血色,飞快旋转的齿轮边缘模糊而扭曲,似乎有什么东西正寄生在这套庞大的机器里,用它充满恶意的灵魂取代了原本神圣的蒸汽。 The machine had been polluted, is at blasphemes condition —— this thought to reappear for one second in the Belazov mind, but then goes with the wind. 机器已经被污染,正处于亵渎状态——这个念头在贝拉佐夫脑海中浮现了一秒钟,但紧接着便随风而去。 But he still moved toward control bench —— of steam core, even if this huge „steel heart” at this moment in his eyes all normal, he also reaches out slowly the control bench. 可他仍然走向了蒸汽核心的控制台——哪怕这庞大的“钢铁心脏”此刻在他眼中一切正常,他也慢慢向控制台伸出手去。 „General,” on rubs greasy dirt Mechanic to walk suddenly from side, puts out a hand to keep off before the control stick, „do not bump these, the machine sometimes is also very frail.” “将军,”一名身上蹭着油污的机械师突然从旁边走来,伸手挡在控制杆前,“您可别碰这些,机器有时候也是很脆弱的。” Belazov raised the head, looked at Mechanic one. 贝拉佐夫抬起头,看了机械师一眼。 The latter is only the look is responding to his vision calmly. 后者只是眼神平静地回应着他的目光。 But suddenly, the lip of this Mechanic wriggled several. 但突然间,这名机械师的嘴唇蠕动了几下。 Belazov slightly knits the brows, read out several word —— from the Mechanic lips-shape 贝拉佐夫略一皱眉,从机械师的唇形中读出了几个单词—— „Machine comes under a spell, is unable to close or destroy.” “机器中邪,无法关闭或破坏。” Belazov was startled, then sees Mechanic to be sideways, manipulates these control handles while is wriggling slightly the lip. 贝拉佐夫怔了一下,紧接着便看到机械师侧过身,一边摆弄那些操纵杆一边微微蠕动着嘴唇。 „Pastor incredible...... the situation loses control on the 22 nd...... the flow.” “牧师不可信……情况失控……二十二号流程。” On the 22 nd flow? 二十二号流程？ In Belazov heart one tight, but is quick, he then knows that oneself should make anything. 贝拉佐夫心中一紧,但很快,他便知道自己该做什么了。 Mechanic compared with anybody understands this ship „heart”. 机械师比任何人都了解这艘船的“心脏”。 He turned around to leave the mechanical cabin, has not actually gone to any cabin again, but after leaving the bilge corridor continued to maintain the tranquil stance, returned to own Room Captain. 他转身离开了机械舱,却没有再前往任何舱室,而是在离开舱底走廊之后继续保持着平静的姿态,一路返回了自己的船长。 The middle has the soldier to go forward with him to greet once for a while, some people take to his fuzzy impression, others actually cannot name the character. 中间时不时有士兵上前与他打招呼,其中有些人带给他模模糊糊的印象,另一些人却根本叫不上名字。 In these soldiers definitely also has sober normal human —— but Belazov to have no means to distinguish them, did not have the time to contact or screen on the ship one by one excluding 30 human outside oneself and Mechanic. 这些士兵中肯定还有清醒正常的人类——但贝拉佐夫已经没有任何办法分辨他们,也没有时间去挨个联络或甄别船上除自己和机械师之外的三十个人类了。 He locked on the other side the door of Room Captain, before arriving by the desk safety deposit box, starts to rotate the combination lock plate, in clear delightful ka in sound, his finger because of making an effort, but is even more pale. 他反锁了船长的房门,来到书桌旁的保险箱前,开始转动密码锁盘,在清脆悦耳的咔哒声中,他的手指因用力而愈发苍白。 With light sound that the lock catch opens, safety deposit box gate opening. 伴随着锁扣打开的轻响,保险箱门开启了。 The Belazov vision slightly crosses the file documents the check, falls on the box bottom red button. 贝拉佐夫的目光略过存放文件的格子,落在箱子底部的红色按钮上。 By the button is labelling one line of small writing: The flow, only limits in the extreme condition to use on the 22 nd. 按钮旁标注着一行小小的文字:二十二号流程,仅限极端情况下使用。 Belazov puts out a hand toward that button, but almost at the same time, he heard knock: „General, you in inside? We receive the instruction from Cold Frost, needs you to process personally.” 贝拉佐夫向着那按钮伸出手去,而几乎同一时间,他听到了一阵敲门声:“将军,您在里面吗？我们收到来自寒霜的指令,需要您亲自处理。” Is the voice of adjutant. 是副官的声音。 In the Belazov heart exuded scruple —— suddenly 贝拉佐夫心中突然泛起了一丝迟疑—— If by some chance were oneself judges wrong? 万一是自己判断错了呢？ If by some chance on ship actually really does not have any issue, what having problems is only oneself? Was oneself suffered the mild concentration, caused the cognition and memory deviation, even all the way in auditory hallucination seeing things......, if were really this, he is to ruin the person of entire ship to come now to be the own hyperaesthesia is buried along with the dead! 万一船上其实真的没有任何问题,出问题的只是自己呢？是自己遭受了轻度污染,导致认知和记忆偏差,甚至一路上都在幻听幻视……如果真是这样,那他现在就是要葬送整整一艘船的人来为自己的神经过敏陪葬！ „General, you in inside? We receive the instruction from Cold Frost......” “将军,您在里面吗？我们收到来自寒霜的指令……” The knock was more rapid than a moment ago a point. 敲门声比刚才急促了一点。 Belazov actually awakens suddenly in this knock, he realized suddenly, these ideas had the possibility not to conform to the own character a moment ago very much...... he are not sudden will produce the hesitant person in action last. 贝拉佐夫却在这敲门声中突然惊醒过来,他突然意识到,刚才那些想法很有可能并不符合自己的性格……他不是会在行动最后一步突然产生犹豫的人。 Some people in pour into „impurity” to the own thought! 有人在向自己的思维中注入“杂质”！ „Son-of-bitch heresy is mixed up!” “狗娘养的异端杂碎！” Belazov does not have one to hesitate again, pressed down the red button instantaneously. 贝拉佐夫再无一丝迟疑,瞬间按下了红色按钮。 Extremely after temporary delay, a terrifying large explosion swept across the entire ships —— mechanical express steamer petrel number instantaneously covers by the flash and flame, and in the fearsome destruction that in the high explosive brings is split up. 极为短暂的延迟之后,一场恐怖的大爆炸席卷了整艘舰船——机械快船海燕号瞬间被闪光与火焰笼罩,并在烈性炸药带来的可怖破坏中四分五裂。 Burnt the petrel number wreckage of flaming flame to float a meeting in the sea level, and was pushed to the Cold Frost northern sea area under the function of ocean current gradually, later its float welcomed limit —— this scalding hot wreckage to start to accelerate finally to sink, was towed to entrain by any invisible strength probably generally, its sinking speed was getting more and more fast, and completely vanished in the sea level finally. 燃烧着熊熊火焰的海燕号残骸在海面上漂浮了一会,并在海流的作用下被渐渐推向寒霜北方的海域,随后它的漂浮终于迎来极限——这灼热的残骸开始加速下沉,就好像被什么无形的力量拖拽着一般,它的下沉速度越来越快,并最终完全消失在海面上。 ...... …… At the same time, in Cold Frost City-State, nearby No. 3 graveyard, wears the jet black coat and lower back slightly to reveal the old guarding of rickets to walk on road that slowly, in returns to from the city. 同一时间,寒霜城邦内,三号墓园附近,身穿漆黑外套、腰背略显佝偻的老看守正慢慢走在从城区返回的路上。 He just went to nearby street to purchase some daily necessities, this moment time close to the dusk, he must before changing shifts the time returns to own „position”. 他刚刚去附近的街道采买了一些生活必需品,此刻时间临近黄昏,他要在换班时间之前返回自己的“阵地”。 The path to graveyard is profound, the passer- is scarce, even so, has the resident in nearby block occasionally via this trail. 通往墓园的道路幽深清静,路人稀少,但即便如此,也偶尔有住在附近街区的居民途经这条小径。 They when noticing the form of old guarding can conscientiously not adjust the footsteps, with this rickets the gloomy old person maintains a distance. 他们在注意到老看守的身影时都会不自觉地调整脚步,与这佝偻着的阴郁老人保持一点距离。 They do not loathe this guard, but is the instinct has one to dread, because not only this nearby graveyard gloomy treacherous atmosphere, because this old person eccentric indifferent personality ——, even if takes a broad view at the entire graveyard area, compares somewhat with other these also somewhat gloomy watchman, No. 3 graveyard old guarding can also be called is most formidable. 他们并非厌恶这位看守,而是本能地有着一丝畏惧,这不只是因为墓园附近本身的阴森诡谲气氛,更因为这老人孤僻冷漠的性格——哪怕是放眼整个墓园区,和其他那些同样多多少少有些阴沉的看守人比起来,三号墓园这位老看守也都称得上是其中最令人生畏的一位。 He had treated on this post too for a long time, even oneself contaminated on one „the dead” makings. 他已经在这个岗位上待了太长时间,以至于连自己都沾染上了一丝“死者”的气质。 This even brought some fearful rumor —— often/common Youren saying that saw after at nightfall in the graveyard had the pale light float sky over the stockade, but that was the watchman already the soul of exsomatize, some people said that this fearful kind of group life insurance lay down in a coffin in midnight oneself, he can with the deceased person together asphyxiation, when the next day Sun raised regained consciousness. 这甚至带来了一些可怕的流言——常有人说看到入夜之后的墓园中有苍白的灯光漂浮在栅栏上空,而那便是看守人早已离体的灵魂,也有人说这可怕的老人会在午夜自己躺进一口棺材中,他会和死人一起停止呼吸,并在第二天太阳升起的时候苏醒。 These strange frightened rumors are twining the graveyard and watchman, but the eccentric strange watchman as if never cares about —— him almost to disagree nearby resident to do in fact, besides goes out like today accidentally purchases some life to, his whole time live in the graveyard in that guard hut, but in the ordinary day has to do also only then Church delivering corpse person. 这些诡异惊悚的流言缠绕着墓园和看守人,而孤僻古怪的看守人对此似乎从未在意——事实上他几乎不和附近的居民打交道,除了像今天这样偶然出门购买一些生活必须品之外,他大部分时间都住在墓园里那座看守小屋里,而平日里打交道的也只有教会的送尸人罢了。 He thought that this does not have nothing well. 他觉得这没什么不好的。 Let the living person far away from the world of dead, the former do not have the surplus curiosity, in order to avoid by its evil, after the latter must enjoy the quietness, by relieved starting off, this is his responsibility. 让活人远离死者的世界,前者不要有过剩的好奇,以免受其害,后者得享死后的清静,以安心上路,这正是他的责任。 He is guarding the graveyard, is guarding outside the graveyard this city. 他看守着墓园,也看守着墓园外面这座城市。 The old person raised the head, looks to the graveyard front door of not far away, suddenly stopped the footsteps. 老人抬起头,看向不远处的墓园大门,突然停下了脚步。 Today the situation is a little as if special. 今天情况似乎有点特别。 Unexpectedly young guests. 竟有一位小客人。
