Afterbeing readycamouflage, Duncanlooked at the brilliantly illuminatedlivelycity.
在做好伪装与准备之后,邓肯将目光投向了灯火通明的繁华城区。Vannais assessingat present the situation in cityaccording to the ownexperience: „The presentis the curfew, in the city the pathcanhave the Guardianpatrol, butinsomeedgeplaces, the patroleffortmeetsrelativelyweak——, even ifin the Plandsuchdevelopedplace, Lower DistrictGuardianis unable to look afterallcorners, as a rule, the securitystandard of edgecityis‚, ifhastranscendentto lose control, mustguarantee that the recentsquadmayarrive at the scene in 20 minutes, and casualty situationdoes not spreadtoas far as possibleapproachingblock’.”凡娜根据自己的经验判断着目前城市内的情况:“现在是宵禁时间,城市内道路会有守卫者巡逻,但在边缘一些的地方,巡逻力度会相对较弱——哪怕是在普兰德那样发达的地方,下城区的守卫者也无法照看所有角落,通常来讲,边缘城区的警戒标准是‘如果发生超凡失控,要确保最近小队可在20分钟内抵达现场,且伤亡情况尽量不蔓延至临近街区’。”„Petrelnumberhas the explosionin the City-Stateoffshore, on the ship the personnelunmannedsurvival, thissituationcannot hide the truth from the person, now the Cold Frostauthorityshouldbe busy at work, butthey are very perhaps difficultto investigatewhatconclusionfor a short time,”nearbyMorrissaid,„shouldshowpolicetothem.”
“海燕号在城邦近海发生爆炸,船上人员无人幸存,这情况瞒不住人,现在寒霜当局应该已经忙活起来了,但他们一时半会恐怕很难调查出什么结论,”一旁的莫里斯说道,“应该给他们示个警。”„, Thisis very easy, Iexcel atvarious forms ofreporting, moreoverusuallycanmake the localdepartmenttense,”Duncanspoke thoughtlessly saying that „besideswarning, ourowninvestigation must conduct ——thistimematterto be very strange, Ismelled at that time the Plandsimilaratmosphere, matter that thesehereticdid...... perhapsbig.”
“哦,这很容易,我擅长各种形式的举报,而且通常都很能让当地部门紧张起来,”邓肯随口说道,“不过除了示警之外,我们自己的调查也得进行——这次的事情很诡异,我从中嗅出了一些跟当时普兰德相似的氛围,那些邪教徒搞的事情……恐怕不小。”Is saying, hewhiletook upTyrianisthatmap of oneselfpreparation.
一边说着,他一边拿起了提瑞安为自己准备的那幅地图。
The content on mapis very exhaustive, variousspeciallabelling, itobviouslyis notCity-Statefolkreleasething——without a doubt, Tyrianplaces the informer'sinthisCity-Statethismapfor the contribution that makesto be big.
地图上的内容很详尽,还有各种特殊的标注,它显然不是城邦民间发行的东西——毫无疑问,提瑞安安插在这座城邦里的线人为这幅地图做出的贡献不小。Duncansoonthenfound two places that are worthpaying attention to: The fireplaceavenuesituated ininner city districtedge, as well asin the positionapproaches the graveyardregion of inner citycenter.邓肯很快便找到了两个值得关注的地点:位于内城区边缘的壁炉大街,以及位置上更加靠近内城腹地的墓园区域。
The Duncanvisionfallsonthatlabellingfor the specialsub-area of graveyardarea, sees the entireregionwith the numerical symbols, fromonetonine, were divided intoninegraveyard——theyalmostregarding the churchareasymmetrical distribution of City-Statecenter, formedindistinctring-like, seems like...... reallydoes not seem like the commonCity-Stateplanway.邓肯的目光落在那片标注为墓园区的特殊区块上,看到整个区域以数字编号,从一至九,分成了九个墓园——它们几乎是围绕着城邦中心的教堂区对称分布,形成了一个隐隐约约的环形,看上去……实在不像是寻常城邦的规划方式。
Is thisalso the God of DeathBartokbeliefdemand?
这也是死亡之神巴托克的信仰需求?„Wepreviouslytoward the fireplaceavenue, visited your ‚old friend’,”Duncanraised the head, looked atMorrisone, „laterwaited for the curfewto end, youandVannalooked for the temporary lodginginCity-State, IandAlicewent to No. 3graveyard.”
“我们先前往壁炉大街,去拜访你那位‘老朋友’,”邓肯抬起头,看了莫里斯一眼,“随后等宵禁结束,你和凡娜在城邦内找个落脚处,我和爱丽丝去三号墓园一趟。”„Memorial park?”Morrishas the questionsubconsciously.
“墓园?”莫里斯下意识地发出疑问。„Do not givesomeCity-Stateauthoritysmallwarning? Can'trun up to the city hallorCathedraldirectlyknocks on a doorreporting?”Duncansmiles, „had a channelto be able the newsto pass onto be good, butIknewsuchchannelin No. 3graveyardexactly.”
“不是要给城邦当局一些小小的示警么?总不能直接跑到市政厅或者大教堂敲门举报吧?”邓肯笑了笑,“有一个渠道能把消息传过去就行了,而我在三号墓园恰好认识这样的渠道。”NearbyVannasubconsciousopens the mouth: „Newspasses onis an aspect, whatis more importantismustbring to the dueattention......”
一旁的凡娜下意识开口:“消息传过去是一方面,更重要的是要引起足够的重视……”Duncanhas turned the head, on the facehas the self-confidentsmile: „Relax, theywill attach great importance.”邓肯转过头,脸上带着自信的微笑:“放心,他们会非常重视的。”Under the cold and stillnighttime sky, a pigeonflies into the dim light of nightfrom the Cold Frostcoast, plunged that lights of distantcity.
冷寂的夜空下,一只白鸽从寒霜海岸飞入夜色,扑向了远方城区的那片灯火。Butat the same time, onCold SeaVanished, the front door of Room Captainopenedfinally.
而在同一时间,远在冷冽海的失乡号上,船长的大门终于打开了。

在清冷夜色下,他活动了一下手脚与肩膀,感受着意识分别操控复数躯体的奇妙感觉,等到那种延迟感渐渐褪去之后,他才轻轻呼了口气。Heusedperiod of timeto adapt tooneselfa moment ago, inCold Frostnewbody——compared withinitially in the Plandfirstattempt„diverted attentionmultipurpose”thatroughsituation, thistimeincreased a bodyadditionally, headaptedinsteadto be smoothly more rapid, many.
他刚才用了一段时间来适应自己在寒霜的新身体——比起当初在普兰德第一次尝试“分心多用”时那磕磕绊绊的情况,这次额外新增了一副身躯,他适应起来反而更迅速、顺利了不少。Onlyusedto meet the time, hehas then been ablewhileguaranteeing the Cold Frostaction, handled the matter on Vanished.
只用了一会功夫,他便已经可以在确保寒霜行动的同时,处理失乡号上的事情了。Calms downslightly, Duncanaskedin the mind: „Tyrianwhere?”
略微定了定神,邓肯在脑海中问道:“提瑞安在什么地方?”
The Goat Headsoundresoundsimmediately: „Does henear the tail vanedeck, needto callhim?”山羊头的声音立刻响起:“他在尾舵甲板附近,需要把他叫来吗?”„No need, Ijust rightin the past,”Duncanshakes the head, thenspoke thoughtlessly the instruction, „directionadjustmenttoDagger Island, full speed.”
“不必,我正好过去,”邓肯摇了摇头,接着随口吩咐,“航向调整至匕首岛,全速。”„Yes, Captain!”
“是,船长!”
The soundresoundsfrom the tightcable and mast, when hugehulladjustmentdirectionalsobroke the tranquility under dim light of nightwith the sound of ocean waveshitsimultaneously, is standingin the fantail decklooks intoTyrian of distant placeto have a scarebythissuddensound, heraised the headsurprisedly, was seeing that onthathighbridge the jet blacksteering wheelis rotatingslowly, underglimmerbackground that inWorld Creationsprinkles, as if there is invisiblepersonthereto steerto be the same.
吱吱嘎嘎的声音从紧绷的缆绳与桅杆间响起,庞大船身调整航向时和海浪撞击的声音亦同时打破了夜色下的平静,正站在船尾甲板眺望远方的提瑞安被这突然的动静吓了一跳,他惊讶地抬起头,正看到那高高的驾驶台上漆黑的舵轮正在缓缓转动,在世界之创洒下的微光背景下,就仿佛有无形之人正在那里掌舵一样。Althoughafterridesthisshipagain the first time is notsawsuchscene, hecannot bear the knitting the browshead.
尽管在再度乘上这艘船之后已经不是第一次看到这样的景象,他还是忍不住皱了皱眉头。Vanishedmanyplacestrulystillwithmemory is same, butthisshipalsoalwaysremindsoneself——invariousnonchalantdetailsunceasinglyitisbyGhost Ship that the Subspacebaptismcrosses.失乡号的许多地方确实仍然和记忆中的一样,但这艘船又总是在各种不经意的细节不断提醒自己——它已经是一艘被亚空间洗礼过的幽灵船了。Butwhen such a is distracted, Tyrianthenhearscalmpowerfulsound of footstepsto transmitfrom the , hegoesfollowing the prestige, was seeing that father'sformappearsin the deck under curtain of night.
而就在这么一走神的时候,提瑞安便听到一阵沉稳有力的脚步声从附近传来,他循声望去,正看到父亲的身影出现在夜幕下的甲板上。„Had a scareby the suddensound?”DuncansawTyrianstared at the scene of steering wheela moment ago, the faint smilewas saying, „isGoat Headis steering.”
“被突然的动静吓了一跳?”邓肯看到了提瑞安刚才盯着舵轮的景象,似笑非笑地说道,“是山羊头在掌舵。”„Iknow,has seentwice,”Tyrianhas gotten back one's composure, the expressionhas restoredas usual, „a littletoodid not adapt to——, althoughSea Mistsome‚are also living’characteristics, but under compares, your ship‚activeness’washighis really excessive.”
“我知道,已经见过两次了,”提瑞安回过神,表情已经恢复如常,“只是仍有点不太适应——虽然海雾号也有些‘活着’的特性,但相比较下,您这艘船的‘活性’实在是高过头了。”„Thisbrought the unexpectedconvenience.”Duncanspoke thoughtlesslyto say.
“这带来了意想不到的便利。”邓肯随口说道。Tyrianshows neither approval nor disapproval, butafterobserving a navigationstance of shipscould not bearask: „What can Vanishedyoumakein the accelerationas well asadjustmentdirection——?”提瑞安不置可否,只是在观察了一下船只的航行姿态之后忍不住问道:“失乡号在加速以及调整航向——您要做什么?”„Icome to tellyou——weto go toDagger Island.”
“我来就是想告诉你——我们正在前往匕首岛。”„Dagger Island?”Tyrianis startled, immediatelyresponds,„that sidehas had an accident?!”
“匕首岛?”提瑞安一怔,立刻反应过来,“那边已经出事了?!”„Cold Frostmilitaryshipsonreturning to the road in main islandfromexplodingsubmerged——itto be once shortinDagger Islandstay, returnedhad turned into the pollutioncarrier,”Duncanhas not concealed, „nowIsuspected that the situation on Dagger Islandhas possibly lost control, butdue to the unknownreason, the entiresecuritysystem on islandhad no response, butthat side the Cold Frostmain islandhas not receivedanyunusualreport.”
“有一艘寒霜军方船只在返回本岛的路上自爆沉没——它曾短暂在匕首岛停留,返回的时候已经变成了污染携带者,”邓肯也没隐瞒,“现在我怀疑匕首岛上的情况可能已经失控,但由于未知原因,岛上的整套警戒体系都没有任何反应,而寒霜本岛那边也没有接到过任何反常报告。”„...... The penetrationpolluted, has anything to penetrate the defensive system on Dagger Islandquietly,”Tyrianunderstoodinstantaneously, but was feelsaboutthisunbelievable, „maythis...... that sidedefensive system should not to be penetratedeasilyto......”
“……侵彻污染,有什么东西悄无声息地击穿了匕首岛上的防御体系,”提瑞安瞬间明白过来,但紧接着便是对这感觉难以置信,“可这……那边的防御体系应该没这么容易被击穿才对……”„Anydefensive systemis not absolutely safe, let alone the pollutionfrom the deep sea, possiblyis relatedwithDeep SeaSacred Lord,”Duncanshakes the head, „the Cold Frostauthorityshouldalreadybythatwarshipfromexplodingalarms, butIam notam very confidenttothem, mustpassto have a lookpersonally.”
“任何防御体系都不是万无一失的,更何况污染来自深海,更可能与幽邃圣主有关,”邓肯摇了摇头,“寒霜当局应该已经被那艘军舰的自爆惊动,但我对他们不是很有信心,还是得亲自过去看看。”„...... ThatI?”Tyrianthinks,understandsindistinctlyfather'smeaning, „whatyoudo needmeto make?”
“……那我呢?”提瑞安想了想,隐约明白了父亲的意思,“您需要我做什么?”„Ilaterwill sendAito send backyou, youtakeyourteam, awaits ordersnearCold Frost,”Duncanthinks, in the hearthad decided,„preparesto deal with the worstsituation.”
“我之后会派艾伊把伱送回去,你带上你的队伍,在寒霜附近待命吧,”邓肯想了想,心中已经有所决定,“准备应对最糟的情况。”„Worstsituation?”
“最糟的情况?”„Thatwarship that suffers the pollutionsubmerged, submersion the rapidness of speedabnormal,”Duncanis saying, inthatbody that whileoccupiesfromoneselfnewlyis extracting the usefulmemory and information, „has anything like the seabed, indraggingto be entrainingit......”
“那艘遭受污染的军舰沉没了,沉没的速度异常之快,”邓肯一边说着,一边从自己新占据的那具躯壳中提取着有用的记忆和情报,“就像海底有什么东西在拖拽着它一样……”
The Tyrianexpressionhad the changegradually, in the one-eyedfloated a dignityslowly: „Yourmeaningis......”提瑞安的表情渐渐有了变化,独眼中慢慢浮上一层凝重:“您的意思是……”„Endedfrom the Cold Frostrebellion, stillhashalf a century, wesupposedPlan of Diving in the Abyssalarms‚thing’actuallyneverdormancyinthishalf a century, buthas been moving, eveninpurposelysaves the strength,” the Duncanvisionlookstranquillyto the distant place, the voice seems fermentingstorm, „Tyrian, how manyshipsyousaidinthishalf a centurysometo sinkCold Frostnearbysea, how manythingsunderthatCity-State...... is possibly hidingnow?”
“自寒霜叛乱结束,至今已有半个世纪,我们假设潜渊计划所惊动的‘东西’在这半个世纪里其实从未休眠,而是一直在活动,甚至在有意识地积蓄力量,”邓肯的目光望向远方,嗓音平静中仿佛酝酿着一场风暴,“提瑞安,你说这半个世纪里到底有多少舰船沉进了寒霜附近的大海,那座城邦下面……现在又可能藏着多少东西?”In the deckis peaceful.
甲板上安静下来。Under the quietcoldcurtain of night, the bigpiratehitto tremblesuddenly.
静谧寒冷的夜幕下,大海盗突然打了个哆嗦。

……
A pigeonflew into the city, under the curfewtime interval the lonelystreetdeep place, has the quietgreenflameto flash past.
一只白鸽飞进了城区,宵禁时段下冷冷清清的街道深处,有幽绿的火光一闪而过。

一栋看起来略显老旧的房屋伫立在壁炉大街的一角。

这里确实就是布朗・斯科特在信中提起的住处。„IandMorrishave a look at the situation,”wears the jet blacklongwindproof coat, to bringDuncan of broadsideceremonial hatturn headtoVannaandAlicesaid,hissounddownloadsfrom the thickbandage, appearsis depressedlow and deep, „youwait for——not to alarmPatrol Guardin the nearbyon the line.”
“我和莫里斯去看看情况,”身穿漆黑长风衣、带着宽边礼帽的邓肯回头对身旁的凡娜和爱丽丝说道,他的声音从厚厚的绷带下传出,显得低沉发闷,“你们在附近等着——别惊动巡夜的守卫者就行。”Examinessituation in a housenot to needtoomanymanpower, ifthat„Brown Scott”reallyinroom, andhascertainexchangeability, then the person of belt/bringare too manytooinsteadpossiblyinitiatesto trouble——mixedaccidentally/surprisinglyafter all, Duncanis notkills the four directionstodaygreatly, heisinquires the information.
查看一栋房屋内的情况不需要太多人手,而如果那位“布朗・斯科特”真的就在屋内且有一定交流能力,那么带的人太多太杂反而可能引发意外麻烦——毕竟,邓肯今天不是来大杀四方的,他是来打探情报的。
