离开船长的邓肯并没有去别的地方,而是转身便再度握住了那扇“失乡者之门”的把手,接着向内推开——Zhou Mingreturned to hisbedroom.周铭回到了他的寝室内。Observes the situationall around, the familiarsceneryheaves in sight, when all in roomandoneselfprevioustimeleavesexactly the same, butoneselfhas not returned tohereprobablyfor a long time.
环视四周,熟悉的景色映入眼帘,房间中的一切都和自己上次离开时一模一样,而自己好像也已经很长时间不曾返回这里了。Slowlycrosses the threshold to buddhism, the footstepsin the floors of somemotleyattrition, before Zhou Mingsuch as was the same the window that firstin the pastarrived atthatto shut tightly, heinspectedtrace on a window, confirmedin the condition——heart that the windowlockedknowsalthoughdid thatwithout the significance, buthecompletedallinspectionscarefully, andtook upto hang the diarybywindowseriously, the part of blankin the bookwrites downtoday'scheck result:
慢慢越过玄关,脚踩在有些斑驳磨损的地板上,周铭如往常一样首先来到了那紧闭的窗户前,他检查了一下窗台上的痕迹,又确认了窗锁的状态——尽管心中知道这么做毫无意义,但他还是仔仔细细地完成了所有的检查,并郑重其事地拿起挂在窗户旁的日记本,在本子上空白的部分写下今天的检查结果:Variouswindows and doorsplacesdo not have the change, whenoneselfleaves, thisroomhad never been opened.
门窗各处均无变动,在自己离开期间,这间房间从未被打开过。
After providingthisnewrecord, heshouted the tonegently, before thisarrives at the desk, slowly.
留下这条新的纪录之后,他轻轻呼了口气,这才慢慢来到书桌前。On the desk, sometinygreensparksinflip-flop the jump, the flame of spreadare outlininggraduallylittle an outline of object, entireoutlined the processto come to an end.
书桌上,些许细小的绿色火花正在噼啪跳跃,逐步蔓延的火焰正在将一个物体的轮廓一点点勾勒出来,整个勾勒过程已经接近尾声。Thatis a ship, has the attractivewhitehull and standing tall and erectchimney, seems like the quiteadvancedsteam powermechanicalship.
那是一艘船,一艘有着漂亮白色船身和高耸烟囱、看上去颇为先进的蒸汽动力机械船。
The Zhou Mingcomplexionlooks atthistranquilly, on the face the expressiondoes not have the accident/surprise.周铭面色平静地看着这一幕,脸上表情丝毫没有意外。White Oak„model”appearedinthisroom, but...... why? Why will itsuddenly appear here? What did thisshiphaveto change?白橡木号的“模型”出现在这间房间里了,但是……为什么?为什么它会突然出现在这儿?这艘船发生了什么变化?Zhou Mingraised the head, lookedtonot far awayset at the frame, VanishedandPland on rack„model”stillcalmlylay downin the checks.周铭抬起头,看向不远处的置物架,架子上的失乡号和普兰德“模型”仍然静静地躺在格子之间。Byspiritual firethoroughburning downandby the oneselfthoroughcontrol„goods”will appearin the form of accurate modelon the desk of thisstudio apartment, thisis the definiterule, VanishedandPland is so, butWhite Oak......
被灵体之火彻底焚烧、被自己彻底掌控的“物品”会以精确模型的形式出现在这间单身公寓的书桌上,这是已经确定的规律,失乡号和普兰德皆是如此,而白橡木号……Zhou Mingis recallingoneselfwith the experience that shipfirstencounters.
周明回忆着自己与那艘船初次遭遇的经历。White Oakoncehad been truly burnt downbyownspiritual fire, eventhatentireship„was once swallowed into the abdomen”byVanished, butwas the control of that timeoneselftospiritual fire is not very perhaps skilled, then„burning down”, White Oakhas not turned intoon the oneselfdesk„collection”, butleft behind a mark, thisconditionhas continueduntil now.白橡木号确实曾被自己的灵体之火焚烧过一遍,甚至那整艘船都曾经被失乡号“吞入腹中”,但或许是那时候自己对灵体之火的掌控不够熟练,当时的“焚烧”过后,白橡木号并没有变成自己书桌上的“藏品”,而只是留下了一份印记,这种状态一直持续到如今。Zhou Mingsitsbefore the desk, calmlylooks that the quietgreensparkjumpsandoutlinescompletely the White Oaklastoutlineon the table, expressionlooking pensive.周铭在书桌前坐下来,静静地看着幽绿火花在桌上跳跃并将白橡木号的最后一丝轮廓勾勒完整,表情若有所思。Heis certain, oneselfhas not paid attention to the White Oaktrendthis period of time, notinitiative„triggering” the flamemark on thatship, thereforethischangeis not—— that oneselfcausesisWhite Oak, thatshipmet anything obviously, causing the mark on shipto be activated, even„activation”turnedto the entireshipdirectlyhere„collection”one.
他可以肯定,自己这段时间并没有关注过白橡木号的动向,更不曾主动“触发”过那艘船上的火焰印记,所以这种变化并不是自己这边引起的——是白橡木号,那艘船显然遇上了什么事情,导致了船上的印记被激活,甚至直接“活化”到整艘船都变成了这里的“藏品”之一。Zhou Mingnarrows the eyeslightly, is trying the localizationWhite Oakpositionagain, as well assensationitspresentcondition.周铭微微眯起眼睛,再次尝试着定位白橡木号的位置,以及感知它现在的状态。A moment later, heopens eyes, among the looksbringsdignifiedlysome.
片刻之后,他睁开眼,神色间带着些许凝重。Even ifinthisbedroom, he is still not ableto confirmpreciselyWhite Oakwhere, the fuzzysensationslightlyis pointing at the gateoppositethatworldCold FrostCity-Statedirectiongreatly, whenattemptsto confirm that White Oakcondition, hereceived a somewhatstrangefeedback.
哪怕是在这间寝室里,他仍然无法精确确认白橡木号到底在什么地方,模模糊糊的感知只是大略指着门对面那个世界寒霜城邦的方向,而在尝试确认白橡木号状态的时候,他则得到了一个有些古怪的反馈。Hefeltunexpectedlythatshipwholewas being wrappedby the sea water.
他竟感觉那艘船整体被海水包裹着。On the desk, the jump of quietgreensparkstopped, the White Oakaccurate modelcalmlylies downin front ofZhou Ming, eachdetailis lifelike.
书桌上,幽绿火花的跳跃停止了,白橡木号的精确模型静静地躺在周铭面前,每一丝细节都惟妙惟肖。Slightly after doinghesitates, Zhou Mingputs out a handto hold the White Oakmodel, placescarefullyis observingat present.
略作犹豫之后,周铭伸出手捧起了白橡木号的模型,放在眼前仔细观察着。Buthehas not seen the place that anythingis out of sorts.
但他并未看到什么违和的地方。Aftermanipulatingmet, Zhou Mingshakes the head, realized that hereis unable to confirmcondition—— of thatshipmustgo tothat sideCold Frostto confirm the situation.
在摆弄了一会之后,周铭摇了摇头,意识到在这里也无法确认那艘船的状态——还是要去寒霜那边确认一下情况。Hesets outbefore the desk, in the handholdsWhite Oaknewly, the preparationfirstthis„collection”putsto set on the frame, butjustwalkedseveralsteps, hethenstoppedby a mirrorsuddenly.
他从书桌前起身,手里捧着白橡木号,准备先把这新的“藏品”放到置物架上,但刚走出去几步,他便突然在一面镜子旁停了下来。Helookstothatmirror, in the mirror, inhishandholdsis notWhite Oak, butisonestrange, by the ships that the blackthick fog and bigpieceshadowcover!
他看向那面镜子,在镜子中,他手中捧着的不是白橡木号,而是一艘陌生的、被黑色浓雾和大片阴影笼罩起来的舰船!
The outline of thatshipsomewhatis vaguely similartoWhite Oak, seems the department the common originbody form, actually the wholepresents a as ifillusory image not clearsense of reality, on the hullalsofinds at everywhere the trace that the destruction, damages and throws away, as ifin the seabeddeep sleepmanyyears of same——Zhou Mingwas staring attheship in mirror, after the moment, lowers the head, seesononeselftrulyis only the White Oakmodel.
那艘船的轮廓依稀与白橡木号有几分相似,仿佛是系出同源的船型,却整体呈现出一种仿佛幻影般的不真切质感,船身上还随处可见破坏、毁弃的痕迹,就仿佛在海底沉睡了多年一样——周铭盯着镜子中的这艘船,片刻后又低下头,看到自己手上确确实实就只是白橡木号的模型而已。Shortstunnedafterthinking, Zhou Mingputs the one side the White Oakmodelsuddenly, before hearrivesquicklysets atthing, Vanished and PlandCity-Statemodelheld, inmirrorfirst11tests.
短暂的错愕与思索之后,周铭突然将白橡木号的模型放到一旁,他快步走到置物架前,将失乡号和普兰德城邦的模型抱了过来,在镜子前一一测试。Theydoes not have anychangeinmirror.
它们在镜子里都没有什么变化。Only hasWhite Oak, in the mirrorpresentedstrange„anotherappearance”.
只有白橡木号,在镜子中呈现出了诡异的“另一副模样”。
Before Zhou Mingagain the White Oakmodelattained the mirror, looking pensivelooksthatblackshipshadow that in the mirrorpresents.周铭再度将白橡木号的模型拿到了镜子前,若有所思地看着镜子中呈现出的那艘黑色舰影。Thatseems likeWhite Oakgeneralin„the inverted image of”inanotherdimensionpresenting.
那看上去就像白橡木号在另一个维度中呈现出的“倒影”一般。In the thinking, hereaches outslowly the illusory image in thatmirror.
思索中,他慢慢向那镜子中的幻影伸出手去。Heonlytouches the icy coldhardmirror surface.
他只触碰到冰凉坚硬的镜面。
......
……Steers the boatalone, Lawrenceis looking that Black Oakstands tall and erect the palatialhullgraduallyto enlargein the field of vision, thatpiece seems also gradually coveredhisall aroundby the thick fog that the shadowflooded, hungis scatteringsurroundingdimin the inspection lamp of boatbowdifficultly, actuallyalso can only outline a dimrouteforhim.
独自驾驶着小船,劳伦斯看着黑橡木号高耸巍峨的船身在视野中逐渐放大,那片仿佛被阴影充斥的浓雾也逐渐笼罩了他的四周,挂在小船船头的一盏提灯艰难地驱散着周围的昏暗,却也只能为他勾勒出一条朦朦胧胧的航路。Hehas turned head, sawWhite Oakto turn into the mistpiece of slurredphantom——to standobviously , on the White Oakbridgelookedin the pastwhattwoshipsleftwassuchnear, hethoughtamongat this moment the twowas similar the gap, thatgapwas not the barrier in physicaldistance, butwassometype...... the barriersituated inactual situation.
他回过头,看到白橡木号已经变成了雾气中一片模糊不清的虚影——明明站在白橡木号舰桥上看过去的时候两艘船离的是如此之近,他此刻却觉得二者之间仿佛有一道鸿沟,那鸿沟不是物理距离上的隔阂,而是某种……介于虚实之间的屏障。Butheis gradually bridging overthisbarriernow.
而他现在正逐渐跨过这道屏障。Hiswas calm, the surroundingswere even more strange, the environmentwas even more dim, hiseven morewas calm, was similarallroadsto understand, the destinyhas declaredallchoice——he to gotohimBlack Oak, no mattertherehadanythingto wait foroneself.
他的心情平静下来了,周围愈发诡异,环境愈发昏暗,他的心情却愈发平静,就仿佛所有的路都已明了,命运已向他昭示了所有的选择——他要去黑橡木号上,不管那里有什么在等着自己。But seems to be tranquil, only thenonhisoneself——boatanotherpassenger, seeming like not so quiet.
但似乎平静下来的只有他自己——小船上另有一位乘客,看起来不那么平静。„Youputmeto go back! Givesmeto wrap/sets of a string, youhangmeon the mastgood!”Anomaly077is boisterous, thisuglydry corpsefromstartedto talk endlesslya moment ago, „, so long ascanmakemereturn to the deep sleep, myanythinglistensyour......, even ifyoumakemebe convertedGoddess of Storm...... God of Death is also good! Ido not wantto open the eyeagain!”
“您就放我回去吧!给我套根绳子,您把我挂在桅杆上都行!”异常077聒噪着,这丑陋的干尸从刚才开始就在喋喋不休,“只要能让我回到沉睡中,我什么都听您的……哪怕您让我皈依风暴女神呢……死亡之神也行啊!我已经不想再睁着眼睛了!”Lawrencehas turned the headfinally, responds tothisdry corpsefromembarkingto the present for the first time: „Can youalso being convertedgods?”劳伦斯终于转过头,从出发到现在第一次回应这干尸:“你还能皈依神明?”
The dry corpsegawked, immediatelynods: „So long asyouputmeto go backto sleep, whichgodIam convertedto be goodin the sleep!”
干尸愣了一下,紧接着立刻点头:“只要您放我回去睡觉,我在睡梦中皈依哪个神都行!”Lawrencethinks,thinkshasamong the jokeinsailors, on the faceshows the smile: „Do youtryto be convertedGod of Wisdom?”劳伦斯想了想,想到一个流行在水手之间的笑话,脸上露出笑容:“那你试试皈依智慧之神?”
The Anomaly077whole personwas stiff, latercrosseddoes not know how longmovedslightly, in the witheredthroatsqueezed outseveralwords: „Icanfirsttryfrom the plane geometry......”异常077整个人都僵硬了一下,随后过了不知多久才微微一动,干瘪的喉咙里挤出几个单词:“我可以先从平面几何试试……”„EvenGod of Wisdomdaresto try, it seems likeyouwere really compelledanxiously,”Lawrenceshakes the head, in the heartsomewhatis curious, „why, but is youafraid? Ilooked that in the material said that youarebelongto havethatAnomaly of out of controltendency, but do youactuallygo all out to return to the deep sleepnow?”
“连智慧之神都敢试试,看来你是真的被逼急了,”劳伦斯摇了摇头,心中不禁有些好奇,“但伱为什么这么害怕?我看资料上说,你是属于有失控倾向的那种异常,可现在你却拼命想回到沉睡中?”Anomaly077had not replied, butrolls upon the boatto a cornerdiligently, is staring at the greenflame of Lawrencestaticcombustionwith the tenseline of sight.异常077没有回答,只是在小船上努力蜷缩到一个角落,用紧张的视线盯着劳伦斯身上静静燃烧的绿色火焰。Lawrencelooked downoneselfstillnot to restore the body of original designnow, raised the head: „Because ofthisflame? The strength of becausebehindthisflamesymbolizing?”劳伦斯低头看了看自己如今仍未恢复原样的身体,抬起头:“因为这火焰?还是因为这火焰背后象征的力量?”Anomaly077in a muffled voice: „Isn't your veryclear?”异常077闷声闷气:“您这不是很明白吗?”„Ihave not thought that evenyoursuch‚Anomaly’alsounderstoodVanishedprestige,”Lawrenceis somewhat sigh with emotion, „Iseein the materialtoyourdescription, said that youhave the state of mindafterout-of-control, cantalk, actuallywithoutthinking ofyourstate of mindisthisdegreeunexpectedly......, ifyouare not a dry corpse, Ialmostmustthink that youwere a human.”
“我没想到,连你这样的‘异常’也懂得失乡号的威名,”劳伦斯有些感慨,“我在资料上看到对你的描述,说你在失控之后具备神志,可以与人交谈,却没想到你的神志竟达到这种程度……如果你不是一具干尸,我几乎要以为你就是个人类了。”
The Anomaly077lowheads, seem to have accepted fate, insteaddoes not open the mouth.异常077低下脑袋,似乎已经认命,反而再也不开口了。Lawrencehas not actually cared aboutthis„sailor”response, hesomeinnumerableriddlesneedto pondernow,recordsgoes wrong, strangeout of controlAnomalyto compareinsignificantwiththeseriddleswith the material.劳伦斯却没有在意这“水手”的反应,他现在有数不清的谜团需要去思考,一个跟资料记载出现偏差的、古怪的失控异常跟那些谜团比起来微不足道。Somanyunknown, somanysecrets.
如此多的未知,如此多的秘密。Alreadyhow manyyearsnotthisfeeling?
已经多少年没有过这种感觉了?As if after Black Oakbids farewell, adventurerLawrencehas then vanishedinthisworld, unknown and distant placeturned into the glossary in memory, untilpresent——
仿佛是在与黑橡木号诀别之后,冒险家劳伦斯便已经消失在这个世界上,未知和远方变成了记忆中的词汇,直到如今——SeesBlack Oakthat momentagain, adventurerLawrencerevivedfrom an oldCaptainheart deep placeagain.
再度看到黑橡木号的那一刻,冒险家劳伦斯再次从一个老船长的内心深处苏醒过来了。Heraised the head, saw the hull that Black Oakstands tall and erecthas been away from the boatnon-full amountmeter/rice, hecontrols the boatto approachslowly, thatfamiliarplacein the memory, hestopped, takes up the oarto strike the hull.
他抬起头,看到黑橡木号高耸的船身已经距离小船不足数米,他操控着小船慢慢靠近,在记忆中那个熟悉的地方,他停了下来,抄起船桨敲打着船壳。
A rope ladderthrewfromabove, fallson the boatbow.
一根绳梯从上面抛了下来,落在小船船头。Lawrencehas turned head, looksto shrinkinAnomaly of corner077.劳伦斯回过头,看着缩在角落的异常077。„Embarks, sailor.”
“上船,水手。”Anomaly077quitesets outgrudgingly, is lowering the head: „Yes, Captain.”异常077颇为不情愿地起身,低着脑袋:“是,船长。”
