Nimmo Wilkins felt suddenly a slight dizziness, as if had any invisible strength to stroke his mind, as if rested from grotesque and gaudy shallow wakes up suddenly, in delayed alerting, he raised the head suddenly, brings some anxiously and looked always had the modest expression, to seem like the scholarly harmless venerable vigilantly to that. 尼莫・威尔金斯突然感觉到一股轻微的眩晕,仿佛是有什么无形的力量拂过了他的心智,又仿佛是从一场光怪陆离的浅睡中突然醒来,在迟来的警醒中,他突然抬起头,带着些许紧张和警惕看向了那位始终带着温和表情、看起来儒雅无害的老先生。 Morris „informer” returns to this by the smile of friendly politeness. 莫里斯向这位“线人”回以友好礼貌的微笑。 However Nimmo actually had/left cold sweat suddenly, he recalls to the present, 然而尼莫却突然出了一层冷汗,他到现在才回忆起来, From entering that moment of dense say/way, the vision of this old man has almost stayed on oneself, one type as if plunders mind and traversal memory strength always to twine the own mind, he without has answered each issues of these unexpected visitors voluntarily, even almost in other contact points City-State also exposes! 从进入密道的那一刻起,这名老者的目光就几乎一直停留在自己身上,一种仿佛搜刮心智、遍历记忆般的力量始终缠绕着自己的脑海,他一直在不自觉地回答这些不速之客的每一个问题,甚至差点把城邦内其他联络点的情况也都暴露出来！ Even if in these unexpected visitor hands takes the Tyrian Captain faith token, to know the cipher, oneself should not be so careless! After all these people are today brave suddenly, according to the custom, oneself should be right to their many several points of probe! 哪怕这几位不速之客手里拿着提瑞安船长的信物、知晓暗号,自己也不该如此粗心大意！毕竟这些人是今天突然冒出来的,按照规矩,自己应该对他们多几分试探才对！ This „informer” on face the expression of rapid change has not certainly hidden the truth from the eye of Vanna, 这位“线人”脸上急剧变化的表情当然没有瞒过凡娜的眼睛, The latter goes forward solemnly and respectfully one step, the expression brings sincerely: „ Mr. Wilkins, relaxes, 后者上前一步,表情肃穆中带着诚恳:“威尔金斯先生,放松些, We are not the faith token and cipher that enemy —— we carry truly come from Mr. Tyrian, 我们不是敌人——我们携带的信物和暗号都确实来自提瑞安先生, Stemming from the necessary safe consideration, conducted some tests to you a moment ago. ” 只是出于必要的安全考量,刚才对你进行了一些测试。” „Test...... what tests?” A Nimmo face looks at present several people vigilantly, „what origin are you......?” “测试……什么测试？”尼莫一脸警惕地看着眼前几个人,“你们……到底是什么来历？” „ Put simply, we suspected that a coverage scope enormous cognition pollution phenomenon has started to spread in City-State, “简单来讲,我们怀疑一种覆盖范围极大的认知污染现象已经开始在城邦中蔓延, This pollution can have the false memory unknowingly, loses to the Real World accurate cognition, 这种污染会让人不知不觉地产生虚假记忆,失去对现实世界的准确认知, Even becomes the accomplice of heresy not to know, 甚至成为异端的帮凶而不自知, We are unable to determine that Mr. Tyrian keeps the informers in city whether also reliable, therefore can only test, ” the Vanna expression answered earnestly, 我们无法确定提瑞安先生留在城里的线人是否都还可靠,所以只能进行测试,”凡娜表情认真地解释道, Hasn't a thread of conversation revolution, „...... you received the message of Mr. Tyrian as for our origins?” 紧接着话锋一转,“至于我们的来历……你没有收到提瑞安先生的消息吗？” „Captain does not have the detailed explanation, he only said that is person who several can trust,” Nimmo answered discretely, „before forgiving my anxiety —— him, will not make this bewildered arrangement.” “船长没有详细解释,他只说是几个可以信任的人,”尼莫谨慎作答,“原谅我的疑虑——他以前不会做这种莫名其妙的安排。” Morris thinks, understands, looks to Duncan: „, That possibly is because has not been under your explicit permission, doesn't he dare to disclose the status of our several people casually?” 莫里斯想了想,明白过来,看向邓肯:“哦,那可能是因为没有得到您的明确许可,他不敢随便透露我们几个人的身份吧？” Permission? Tyrian doesn't Captain dare to disclose the status casually? 许可？提瑞安船长不敢随便透露身份？ Is listening to the Morris words, Nimmo expression somewhat is instantaneously strange, he looks subconsciously to that whole body the odd person of bandage and wear black clothes, obviously wants to ask that anything actually do not know opens the mouth from where. 听着莫里斯的话,尼莫表情瞬间有些怪异,他下意识看向那个浑身绷带、穿着黑衣的怪人,明显想要问些什么却又不知从何开口。 Duncan has not thought actually, he nods gently: „Since confirmed that this informer mister does not have the issue, that does not need to conceal.” 邓肯倒是没多想,他只是轻轻点了点头:“既然确认这位线人先生没有问题,那就没必要隐瞒了。” Saying, his vision looks at Nimmo, raised the hand referred to oneself: „I am the Tyrian father.” 说着,他目光看着尼莫,抬手指了指自己:“我是提瑞安的父亲。” The Sea Mist secret agent instantaneous stagnation of named Nimmo Wilkins several seconds, then in the head does not know how to delimit to draw a mentality, suddenly stares: „Cannot insult Captain!” 名为尼莫・威尔金斯的海雾暗探瞬间静滞了几秒钟,然后脑袋里也不知道怎么划拉了一下思路,突然瞪起眼睛:“不可侮辱船长！” Duncan: „......” 邓肯:“……” The atmosphere is a little suddenly awkward, Vanna also cannot help but put out a hand to hold down the forehead with Morris, only then about Alice turned head to look, did not seem to respond, a face said to that informer mister earnestly: „.” 现场气氛一时间有点尴尬,凡娜跟莫里斯也不由得伸手按住了脑门,只有爱丽丝左右扭头看了看,似乎没反应过来,一脸认真地对那位线人先生说道:“是真的。” Nimmo obviously also wants to speak, 尼莫明显还想说话, But this time before he opens the mouth Morris then goes forward suddenly one step, 但这次在他开口之前莫里斯便突然上前一步, Patted his shoulder: „ Young people, 拍了拍他的肩膀:“年轻人, Opens the mouth beforehand you to think again well —— great ‚Steel General’ Tyrian also has the father. ” 开口之前伱再好好想想——伟大的‘钢铁中将’提瑞安也是有父亲的。” By this time, Nimmo Wilkins detected that suddenly the subtlety in atmosphere, and has awaked the taste from the conversation , since he then recalled these related Abnomar Family ancient legends, the family member about Tyrian Captain, about Vanished, paced back and forth in Subspace ghost —— about that when he raised the head again looked to Duncan, the look obviously is not right. 到这时候,尼莫・威尔金斯才突然察觉气氛中的微妙,并从刚才的交谈中醒过味来,紧接着,他便回忆起了那些有关艾布诺马尔家族的古老传说,关于提瑞安船长的家人,关于失乡号,关于那个徘徊在亚空间中的亡魂——当他再抬头看向邓肯的时候,眼神就明显不对劲了。 „I came back from Subspace,” Duncan looks at him, the voice is tranquil, „helps Tyrian process troubles.” “我从亚空间回来了,”邓肯看着他,嗓音平静,“来帮提瑞安处理一点麻烦。” Nimmo thinks, the supercilious look turns, face upwards to drop down. 尼莫想了想,白眼一翻,仰天倒下。 However nearby Vanna seems prepared early, did not wait for this informer to get down then to the one hand grasp his arm but actually, another hand pulled out entire bottle of inducing resuscitation volatile oil, a bottle mouth plug ball directly toward Nimmo nostril but in actually. 不过旁边的凡娜似乎早有准备,不等这位线人倒下去便一手抓住了他的胳膊,紧接着另一只手掏出了一整瓶醒神精油,把瓶口塞子一弹就直接往尼莫鼻孔里倒。 The informer mister is basically fleeing. 线人先生基本上是直着窜出去的。 „............ Achoo! Achoos!” Nimmo has sobered completely, in the nasal cavity full is the strength enormous medicinal ointment smell, he sneezed several to stop same place, nasal mucus tears raised the head, is pulling out the nose while the whole face opened the mouth tight, „I...... I......” “啊……啊……阿嚏！阿嚏！”尼莫已经完全清醒过来,鼻腔里满是劲头极大的药膏气味,他原地打了好几个喷嚏才堪堪止住,一把鼻涕一把泪地抬起头,一边抽着鼻子一边满脸紧张地开口,“我……我……” „Was sorry that —— I forgot the physique of average person is worse than Guardian,” Vanna somewhat hides awkwardly the glass jar in hand, „felt relieved, this thing is harmless to the body.” “抱歉——我忘记了普通人的体质比守卫者差,”凡娜有些尴尬地把手里的玻璃瓶藏好,“不过放心,这东西对身体无害。” Nimmo fishes out the handkerchief from the pocket, is wiping the face on tears and nasal mucus while is calm, the vision in dreading hesitant looks to Duncan: „Really...... is really you? That...... that I have something for you......” 尼莫从口袋里摸出手帕,一边擦着脸上的眼泪和鼻涕一边镇定下来,目光在畏惧犹豫中看向邓肯:“真……真的是您？那……那我有什么可以为您……” „You were working for me,” Duncan beckons with the hand, „so should not be anxious, many said the situation about Cold Frost City-State to me then.” “你正在为我效劳了,”邓肯摆了摆手,“别这么紧张,多跟我说些关于寒霜城邦的情况即可。” „Good...... good,” Nimmo nods again and again, sneezed several to stabilize, „what did that you have to ask?” “好……好,”尼莫连连点头,紧接着又打了几个喷嚏才安定下来,“那您还有什么想问的？” „You now and in the city are other informers keeping the contact?” Duncan asked that „what way did you usually with relate? Will assemble in this sewage system, is with a more covert channel?” “你现在与城中其他线人保持着联系吗？”邓肯问道,“你们平常用什么方式联系？会在这个下水道系统中集会,还是用更隐蔽的渠道？” „We rarely gather,” Nimmo is rubbing the nose while said that „ mainly to consider in —— us to have many member and Upper District relation safely after all is close, they needed covertly to be better. In most situations, we through various secret channel exchange information, for example the cipher on newspaper, the specific attachment point, or depend upon some ‚courier’ to conduct the one-way contact. “我们很少聚集,”尼莫一边揉着鼻子一边说道,“主要是为了安全考量——毕竟我们中有很多成员和上城区的联系密切,他们需要更隐蔽才行。大部分情况下,我们都通过各种秘密途径交换信息,比如报纸上的暗号,特定的接头点,或者依靠一些‘信差’进行单线联系。 „In fact our oneself does not know that in the city many ‚the oneself person’, most informers only knew with upper and lower layer or a few with the oneself same region that oneself relates ‚compatriot’, but the complete list only grasps in Tyrian Captain and Eden first on the poor hand. I am my the personnel list that ‚attachment person’, in the hand grasps also calculates many, but cannot be over ten people......” “事实上连我们自己也不知道城里到底有多少‘自己人’,大多数线人只认识跟自己联系的上下级或者少数几个跟自己同一区域的‘同胞’,而完整的名单只掌握在提瑞安船长和艾登先生手上。我算是我这一层的‘接头人’,手中掌握的人员名单还算多一点,但也超不过十人……” Listens to Nimmo's narration, Vanna cannot help but to nod gently: „Very discrete and effective ambush form, is not so mostly specialized with heretic that Guardian socialize.” 听着尼莫的讲述,凡娜不由得轻轻点了点头:“很谨慎且有效的潜伏形式,大部分跟守卫者们周旋的邪教徒都没这么专业。” „After all is Tyrian half a century of operation,” Duncan spoke thoughtlessly to say in the one side, looked to Nimmo, „were this contact point your one person based?” “毕竟是提瑞安半个世纪的经营,”邓肯在一旁随口说道,紧接着又看向尼莫,“这个联络点只有你一个人常驻吗？” „Also two,” Nimmo nod, „a nickname was called ‚crow’, he should in doing an inspection nearby channel, an old man, his whole time wait —— me not to know that in the abandoned pipeline classroom at this time his real name called anything, we called him ‚old ghost’.” “还有两人,”尼莫点点头,“一个绰号叫‘乌鸦’的,他这时候应该在巡查附近的通道,还有一个老头,他大部分时间就在废弃的管道班房里待着——连我都不知道他真名叫什么,我们都叫他‘老鬼’。” Duncan and Vanna and Morris exchanged a look. 邓肯与凡娜和莫里斯交换了一下眼神。 Nimmo Wilkins looks has not come under the influence of cognitive disturbance, others but who contact with him are uncertain. 尼莫・威尔金斯看上去没有受到认知干扰的影响,但和他接触的其他人却不一定。 „Also greeted,” the Duncan nod said, „where pipeline classroom was at?” “也去打个招呼吧,”邓肯点头说道,“管道班房在哪？” „In here,” Nimmo is saying while raised the hand refers to the right of front road fork, „before is, second waterway the place of attendants momentary rest, I lead you to go.” “就在这边,”尼莫一边说着一边抬手指向前方岔路口的右边,“是以前第二水路的维护人员临时休息的地方,我带你们去。” This informer taking a step stand forth, but on the road, he then starts to Duncan and the others introduced that „old ghost” the situation. 这位线人迈步向前走去,而在路上,他便开始向邓肯等人介绍起那位“老鬼”的情况。 „...... He this year more than 70, are almost in us oldest one, my grandfather once worked together as colleagues with him, at that time or queen years...... “……他今年都七十多了,几乎是我们中最老的一个,我祖父曾经和他共事,那时候还是女王时代…… „ Old ghost brain is not sober, so long as related to the gas pipeline and things of various second waterway connection sections, he never makes a mistake, the gas pipeline that here additionally builds is he brings —— that the person is doing well to receive a leg from the upper main pipe line secretly, but must assure the security, simultaneously was not discovered, this is not the manual labor that the average person can handle...... “老鬼脑子不怎么清醒,但只要涉及到瓦斯管道和第二水路各连接段的事情,他从不出错,我们这里增设的瓦斯管道就是他带着人弄好的——从上层主管道里偷偷接过来一条支路,还要保证安全,同时不被人发现,这可不是一般人能搞定的活计…… „ Old ghost rarely comes up to the ground, his whole time are staying in this below, sometimes he drank the cocktail party to boast a next past matter with us, he said that he dozens years ago was the engineer of second waterway, at that time queen even issued medal —— but to speak the truth to him personally, his words few credible, his medal I have also seen, was an iron sheet, above bare anything did not have, which horn corner obviously picked to come back from...... “老鬼很少到地面上去,他大部分时间都在这下面待着,他有时候喝了酒会跟我们吹嘘一下当年的事情,他说他几十年前就是第二水路的工程师,那时候女王甚至亲自给他颁发过奖章——但说实话,他的话没几句可信的,他那个奖章我也看见过,就是一块铁片,上面光秃秃的什么都没有,显然是从哪个犄角旮旯里捡回来的…… „Oh, he mostly is the past years retreated to the second waterway the time attracts noxious gas —— I you to tell? 50 years ago the final queen guard retreats blocked the second waterway, at that time the shaft collapsed, the part of noxious gas fluttered from the upper layer, the artisan who gives loyalty to the queen runs to seal off the loophole, the old ghost probably is, he brain from that time was not it is said normal.” “唉,他多半是当年撤退到第二水路的时候吸多了有毒气体——我跟你们讲过吧？五十年前最后的女王卫队撤退的时候封锁了第二水路,当时竖井坍塌,有一部分有毒气体从上层飘了下来,一些效忠女王的工匠跑去封堵漏洞,老鬼好像就是其中一个,据说他从那时候起脑筋就不怎么正常了。” „If later he shouts suddenly the matter of what queen with you, do not mind...... he is not intentionally.” “待会如果他突然跟你们嚷嚷什么女王的事情,你们可别介意……他也不是故意的。” With Nimmo Wilkins verboseness, Duncan and the others then bypass the road fork quickly, before arriving at a rusty iron gate near sewer convergence point . 伴随着尼莫・威尔金斯一路的絮絮叨叨,邓肯等人很快便绕过岔路口,来到了下水道交汇点附近的一处生锈铁门前。 Nimmo goes forward to knock on a door, greeted one to, then the door shoves open: „Old ghost, had the guest to come.” 尼莫上前敲了敲门,向里面招呼了一声,便将门一把推开:“老鬼,有客人来了。” He finishes speaking, a hoarse actually voice very big sound then passed from the gate came out —— 他话音刚落,一个沙哑却嗓门很大的声音便从门里传了出来—— „, The queen inspected!?” “啊,女王来视察了！？”
