转瞬间,房间里那些看不见的“窃窃私语者”便再度安静下来,整个世界都陷入了暂时的寂静,而短短的几秒种后,便有低沉的轰鸣声从远方传来——那仿佛是一个庞大的躯体,正迈着沉重的脚步靠近。Agathalifts the hand, letsdirection that the owneyeballlooking straight aheadsoundconveys, butinhervisionto the position, isthatleafis sparkled the paleglimmerby the slit of window——thatwindowin the planknails tightlayer upon layer, suddenly, allraysvibrated, is then gloomy, as if before hugethingsarrived at the window .阿加莎抬起手,让自己的眼球直视声音传来的方向,而在她目光所至的位置,是那扇被木板层层钉死的窗户——那窗户的缝隙中闪耀着苍白的微光,突然间,所有的光芒都抖动了一下,紧接着便暗淡下来,似乎有一个庞大的东西来到了窗前。
The plank that the nextsecond, thesespread acrosssilentdisrupted, the innumerablegray-blackfragmentsdispersequietly, inwindownearbymidairstagnation, seemed frozenin the amber, a giantappearsinout of the window.
下一秒,那些纵横交错的木板无声碎裂了,无数灰黑色的碎片悄无声息地飞散开来,又紧接着在窗口附近的半空停滞,仿佛被冻结在琥珀之中,一个巨人则出现在窗外。
The giantis wearing the blacklong gown that represented the death, the body under long gownentangled the fullbandage, onlyhad the headeyeto send out the gloomynotbrightyellowglimmer, hestoodoutside the building, the build was almost equivalent to an entirehouse, later, thisgiantbends the waistslightly, lets the ownheadandsecond floorwindoworthogonal——heturns the head, on the face that was coveredby the bandagecould not seeanyexpression, helifted the hand, stretched outthreefingerstoAgatha.
那巨人身披着代表死亡的黑色长袍,长袍下的躯体缠满绷带,唯有头部的眼睛散发着晦暗未明的黄色微光,他站在建筑物外,体型几乎与一整座房屋相当,随后,这巨人又微微弯下腰,让自己的头颅与二楼的窗户平齐——他转过头来,那被绷带覆盖的脸孔上看不到任何表情,紧接着,他抬起了手,向阿加莎伸出三根手指。„Threequestions and answers.” The giantvoicesuch as the thundersaid.
“三次问答。”巨人嗓音如雷地说道。Agathawhensaw that thisgiantgawked.阿加莎在看到这巨人的时候愣了一下。Thisis notthatGatekeeper—— that sheis familiar withusually in thatGatekeepernotsuchgiantbody that sheexchanges, whyat presentthis will be a higherfirst-levelenvoy...... thisenvoywill respond to the ownsummonobviously?
这不是她熟悉的那位守门人——平日里与她交流的那位守门人并没有这么巨大的躯体,眼前这个显然是更高一级的使者……这位使者为什么会回应自己的召唤?Butquick, shethendepressedheart the contact of doubts——envoy to take ordersinGod of DeathBartok, shedoes not needto go into seriouslythis matter, immediatelywas most important, didto understand that herehadanything.
但很快,她便压下了心中的疑惑——使者的往来皆听命于死亡之神巴托克,她没必要深究此事,当下最重要的,还是搞明白这里发生了什么。„Iam seeking forthisroomhas paced back and forthfinally the soul,”shesaid,referred tonot far awaythatemptytablewith the cane, „hehad possibly been polluted, butis now missing.”
“我在寻找这间屋子最后徘徊过的灵魂,”她说道,用手杖指了指不远处那张空荡荡的桌子,“他可能被污染过,但现在下落不明了。”„Thatsoulleft, already the state that entersrests, had the mighty forceto cancelhisdebt, the pollutionno longerwas the issue.”
“那个灵魂离开了,已经进入安息的国度,有伟力抹去了他的债务,污染不再是问题。”
The deathenvoyvoice of out of the windowsuch as the thunderis saying, laterreceived a finger: Twoquestions and answers.
窗外的死亡使者嗓音如雷地说着,随后收起了一根手指:还有两次问答。Agathawas startled, firstnoticedin the envoymouth the word „mighty force”, shethoughtto measurefast, asked the secondquestion: „Mighty forcefromwho? Whocancelled the debt of thatsoul?”阿加莎怔了一下,第一时间注意到了使者口中的“伟力”一词,她飞快地思索权衡了一下,问出第二个问题:“伟力来自何人?谁抹去了那个灵魂的债务?”„Fire Usurper.” The eye that envoythatpairis exuding the muddyyellow lightas ifglittered, said thiswordobviouslysomewhatmeaning of warning, laterhereceived a finger.
“篡火者。”使者那双泛着浑浊黄光的眼睛似乎闪烁了一下,在说出这个词的时候明显有些警告的意味,随后他又收起了一根手指。Agathawhilehearing the word „Fire Usurper”thenfelt the dizziness that raidedsuddenly, sherealizedinstantaneously, oneselfis contactingsomeseedling source from the world Deep Layer„knowledge”, thisknowledgeneverapproachesmortal worldto publicize.阿加莎则在听到“篡火者”一词的同时便感觉到了猛然袭来的晕眩,她瞬间意识到,自己正在接触某种源自世界深层的“知识”,这知识从未向尘世公开过。Butshehas not been at a loss——with„another side” the Gatekeeperexchange, contactssomedangerousknowledgeto be the potluckoccasionally, sheis even young, stillhas had the experience in thisaspect, since the envoy in out of the windowchoosesto telloneselfthisglossary, explainedthisglossaryat leastinhertolerance range.
但她并没有乱了方寸——与“另一侧”的守门人交流,偶尔接触一些危险的知识属于家常便饭,她即便年轻,也有过这方面的经验,而且既然窗外的使者选择告诉自己这个词汇,就说明这个词汇至少是在她承受范围之内的。If is really the issue of taboorank, the envoywill remind.
如果真的是禁忌级别的问题,使者会提醒的。Agathacalms down, inspiresgently, asked the thirdquestion: „Who is Fire Usurper?”阿加莎定了定神,轻轻吸了口气,问出第三个问题:“篡火者是谁?”„Human.”
“人类。”
The envoy in out of the windowsaid,laterhereceived the lastfinger, the formdissipatedinhowlingstrong winds, has not continuedto talkslightly the opportunity that toAgatha.
窗外的使者说道,随后他收起了最后一根手指,身影在一阵呼啸的狂风中消散,丝毫没有给阿加莎继续交谈的机会。Thesescatter in all directionsandstatic the plankfragmentinairdance in the air, joined togetherin a flashappearancefrom the beginning, the window of roomwas sealed upagain, the chaospaleglimmersprinkledRoomfrom the windowseam, fellonsomewhatstunnedAgatha.
那些四散并静止在空气中的木板碎片飞舞起来,转瞬间重新拼合成了一开始的样子,房间的窗户再次被封闭起来,混沌的苍白微光从窗缝中洒进房间,落在有些错愕的阿加莎身上。YoungGatekeeperstandsthere, since birthfirst time, she after „another side” the Gatekeeperconversationfeelsunexpectedlya littlefeels helpless, the opposite partyreplied that the answer of oneselflastissuestillpaced back and forthin the mindclearly, butshedoes not knowhowcompletelythisbewilderedansweris a matter!
年轻的守门人愣愣地站在那里,有生以来头一次,她在跟“另一侧”的守门人交谈之后竟感觉有点不知所措,对方回答自己最后一个问题的答案仍然清晰地徘徊在脑海里,但她完全不知道这个莫名其妙的答案是怎么一回事!Human? What is thisreplied? Is the meaning...... Fire Usurperis a human? Thatcanby the deathenvoywas called as„mighty force” the strength, from a human?
人类?这算什么回答?意思是……篡火者是个人类?那可以被死亡使者称作“伟力”的力量,来自一位人类?Whatthisis„human”?! Is this„human”?!
这得是个什么样的“人类”?!这还是“人类”吗?!Quarrelled the mixedsoundto make a soundgradually, in the air beyond triangleseemed likesomeinnumerableinvisiblepryersto move restlessly, thisnoiseinterrupted the thinking of Agatha, eyeballrotation in herpalm, sawbeyond the trianglebarrierto have the silk threadsas ifhairsilksamejet blackmaterialto fill the air, as ifdripped into the ink in waterto be getting more and more.
吵杂的声音渐渐响了起来,三角之外的空气中似乎有无数无形的窥探者在躁动着,这噪声打断了阿加莎的思索,她手心中的眼球转动,看到三角屏障外正有丝丝缕缕仿佛头发丝一样的漆黑物质弥漫开来,就仿佛滴入水中的墨汁般越来越多。Spirit Worldstartedexpeloneselfthisunexpected visitor.灵界开始驱逐自己这个不速之客了。Sheshakes the head, lifts the handto return the eye socket the eyeball, simultaneouslytook up the caneto wieldgently, wieldsto disperseon the floorthatto outline the paleflame of triangleoutline.
她摇了摇头,抬手将眼球放回眼眶,同时拿起手杖轻轻一挥,挥散了地板上那勾勒出三角轮廓的苍白火焰。In a flash, Spirit Worldabates, the soundrestores, the colorandbrightis full the field of visionagain, shereturned to the Guardianbusyscene, the subordinateswere still workinginperipheryorderly.
一瞬间,灵界消退,声音恢复,色彩和光明再度充盈视野,她回到了守卫者们忙忙碌碌的现场,部下们仍然在周围紧张有序地工作着。Agathamoved an eyeball, fishes out a smallbottlefrom the coatpocketconveniently, after pinching the decapcovers, beginssupinely, droppedtwodrops of eye dropstoward the eye socket.阿加莎活动了一下眼球,随手从外套口袋里摸出一个小瓶子,捏开瓶盖之后仰起头,朝眼眶里滴了两滴眼药水。Dryillfeelingrapidretrogression.
干涩不适的感觉迅速消退了。
A subordinatewalksfromside, since waiting forAgathato receive the liquid medicinesbottle, asked: „Whatclue did youdiscover?”
一名部下从旁走来,等阿加莎收起药水瓶之后才上前询问:“您发现什么线索了吗?”„Soulhas departed, ‚opposite’Gatekeeperconfirmed that soulthrough the Bartokfront door, had entered the institute of resting,”Agathasaidlightly,„...... these, do not havemultithreading.”
“灵魂已经离去,‘对面’的守门人确认那灵魂已经通过巴托克的大门,进入了安息之所,”阿加莎淡淡说道,“……就这些,没有更多线索。”Stemming from the safeconsideration, shehas not mentioned the word „Fire Usurper”to the subordinate.
出于安全考量,她没有向部下提及“篡火者”一词。Thiswordhas the strengthobviously, evendirectlyaims at the extreme danger the Deep Layerknowledge, saiddirectlydoes not know that after happening what——was bestisgoes back, investigates the documentsmaterialto saywellagain.
这个单词显然具备力量,甚至直接指向极端危险的深层知识,直接说出来不知道会发生什么——最好是回去之后好好调查一下文献资料再说。
The subordinatesalsodetectedconcealment of Agathaobviously, butasexperienceadeptGuardian, hisanythinghad not asked,nodsthenreturnsto work.
部下显然也察觉了阿加莎的隐瞒,但作为经验娴熟的守卫者,他什么都没问,点了点头便回到工作。At this moment, sound of footstepsresoundedfromoutsidecorridorsuddenly, interrupted the thinking of Agatha.
就在这时,一阵脚步声突然从外面的走廊上响起,打断了阿加莎的思索。Guardian that is responsible forlooking in downstairswalked: „Gatekeeperyour excellency, thatmadamawoke.”
一名在楼下负责照料的守卫者走了进来:“守门人阁下,那位女士醒了。”Thatyoung did Forestkinawake?
那位年轻的森金人醒了?Agathaputs downin the heartimmediatelytemporarily the train of thought that rushes tofirst floorfast, sawalreadyGaroni that wakes upfrom the sleep.阿加莎立刻暂时放下心中思绪,飞快地赶到一楼,见到了已经从睡梦中醒来的伽罗妮。

这位有着石头般皮肤的健壮女士正坐在沙发上,手中捧着一杯由牧师亲手调制的安神草药茶,眼神有些恍惚地看着眼前的茶几,直到阿加莎在她对面坐下并轻轻敲了敲桌面,她才迟钝地反应过来。„Hello, IcalledAgatha, youshouldknowme,”youngGatekeepersaid,simultaneouslycarefullyis observing the condition of oppositelitigant, „youknow that whathad?”
“你好,我叫阿加莎,你应该认识我,”年轻的守门人说道,同时仔细观察着对面当事人的状况,“你知道发生了什么吗?”„I......

“我……我叫伽罗妮,”捧着草药茶的女学徒有些迟钝地说着,眼神显得还有些飘忽,似乎还没有完全从睡梦中挣脱出来,“抱歉,守门人阁下,我……脑子还是乱糟糟的,我感觉自己好像做了个很长很长的梦,梦里面一直在不停地解数学题,证明了一遍又一遍,从小到大的学习经历加起来都没这么累过……”„Solves the mathematics problems?”Agathagawked, laterhasexpressionlooking pensiveto ask, „youstillremembershowoneselffalls into the deep sleep? Beforefalling intodeep sleep, whatpersonyouhave received, orwhatmatterhas done?”
“解数学题?”阿加莎愣了一下,随后带着若有所思的表情问道,“伱还记得自己是怎么陷入沉睡的吗?在陷入沉睡之前,你接待过什么人,或者做过什么事?”Garoniknits the browsslightly, as if is recallingvery muchdiligently, howevera half after enoughminute, shewas sorryshakes the head: „Sorry, does not remember that Ido not even rememberfromyesterday afternoontoallmatter—— of present, ifwere nottheseGuardianreminds, Idid not even know...... in the family/hometo have an accident.”伽罗妮微微皱起眉,似乎在很努力地回忆着,然而足足半分钟后她还是抱歉地摇了摇头:“对不起,不记得了,我甚至不记得从昨天下午到现在的所有事情——如果不是这些守卫者们提醒,我甚至不知道……家里出事了。”Agathadeeplyfrowns.阿加莎深深皱起眉头。
The memorycovers, the Deep Layersleep, „solutionmathematics problems”, thissounds...... is a bit like the strength that the God of Wisdomreverendsgraspbut actually.
记忆覆盖,深层睡眠,还有“解数学题”,这听上去……倒有点像是智慧之神的神职者们掌握的力量。ButGod of Wisdomwithis one of the Four Great Gods, whyIts can Priestdothismatter?
但智慧之神同为四大正神之一,祂的神官为什么要做这种事?Theyare not the heresies.
他们又不是异端。Alwaysthought that todaywas worth the puzzledmattertoobeing really many.
总觉得今天值得困惑的事情实在太多了。SomeAgathaheadachesrubbed the frontal eminence.阿加莎有些头疼地揉了揉额角。Variouscomplexconfusedlinesare pesteringinhermind.
各种各样纷繁错乱的线条在她脑海中纠缠着。Inoutsidealleystrangesuspiciousfighttrace, information that the hereticactivity that recentlyinCity-State presented that „element” and suspiciousaccident in mine pit, inthishousestrange matter , the deathenvoyconveyed......
外面小巷中诡异可疑的战斗痕迹,最近城邦中出现的邪教徒活动,“原素”以及矿井中的可疑事故,这栋房子里发生的怪事,死亡使者传达的信息……„......”Garonisomewhatlooks atpresentGatekeeperanxiously, although the opposite partylooksveryyoung, butinhighestrankChurchspokesmanfacingCity-State, shestillunavoidableuneasy, „myteacher, is hegood?”
“请问……”伽罗妮有些紧张地看着眼前的守门人,尽管对方看上去很年轻,但面对城邦中的最高级别教会代言者,她仍难免惴惴不安,“我的老师,他还好吗?”„Yourteacher?”SomeAgathadoubts.
“你的老师?”阿加莎有些疑惑。„Heshouldin the building, hisname beBrown Scott,”Garonihurryinganswered, „Ijustwokesomewhatchaotic, forgot, heneededpeacefully......”
“他应该在楼上,他叫布朗・斯科特,”伽罗妮赶紧解释道,“我刚醒过来有些混乱,忘记说了,他需要安静……”Agathawas startledinstantaneously.阿加莎瞬间怔住了。
