Goes toCold Frost.
去寒霜。Lawrencethenthinksinstantaneouslypreviously„Martha”oncetoldownthose words——him unable to distinguish clearlythenMarthanowis the ownillusion, this„Martha”dissipatesat present„sense of existence”, but is a little only certain, heshouldgo toCold Frost.劳伦斯瞬间便想到了此前“玛莎”曾告诉过自己的那句话——他现在已经分不清当时的玛莎到底是自己的幻觉,还是眼前这个“玛莎”逸散出的“存在感”,但唯有一点可以肯定,他应该去寒霜。Butcango?
可是要怎么去?„Wehad sought forlong timehere,”Lawrencecannot bearknit the brows saying that „, sinceprevioustimeleaves the City-Stateharborafter the dim light of night, White Oakhad not foundthatCity-State——weto returnalong the old routeagain, thereonly hassea.”
“我们已经在这里寻找了很长时间,”劳伦斯忍不住皱眉说道,“自从上次趁夜色离开城邦港口之后,白橡木号就再也没有找到过那座城邦——我们沿着原路返回,那里只有一片大海。”„Like thislookedcould not findit,”Marthashakes the headwith a smile, „Lawrence, Cold Frostis hiding fromyou.”
“这样找是找不到它的,”玛莎笑着摇了摇头,“劳伦斯,寒霜在躲着你。”„Is hiding fromme?”Lawrencestaresimmediately, „why?”
“躲着我?”劳伦斯顿时一愣,“为什么?”Marthahas not spoken, butraised the handreferred to Lawrence the Ghost Spiritroaring flame of staticcombustion.玛莎没有说话,只是抬手指了指劳伦斯身上正在静静燃烧的幽灵烈焰。Lawrenceunderstandsinstantaneously,helooks downoneselfsuch as the spiritbodyarm, in the tonelooking pensive: „Therefore before...... us, leaves the City-Stateharbortimehas not receivedanystop...... is notweleftthere, butwasCity-Statewas far away fromWhite Oak?”劳伦斯瞬间明白过来,他低头看着自己如灵体般的手臂,语气中若有所思:“所以……我们之前离开城邦港口的时候才没有受到任何阻拦……并不是我们驶离了那里,而是城邦远离了白橡木号?”Heraised the head, the expressionbecomesa littlesubtle: „What to do should thatthis? At that timepresentWhite Oakalreadycompared withleft the harbor the timeis close toVanished, ifthatCity-Statepurposelyfar away fromme, howIpossiblydid finditcontinuously?”
他抬起头,表情变得有点微妙:“那这该怎么办?现在的白橡木号已经比当时离开港口的时候更加接近失乡号,如果那座城邦一直有意识地远离我,我怎么可能找到它?”„Ilook.”Marthatranquillyandsaidbriefly.
“我去找。”玛莎平静而简短地说道。„Do youlook?”Lawrencehas not respondedall of a sudden,„youcanfindit?”
“你去找?”劳伦斯一下子没反应过来,“你能找到它?”„Naturallycan, inmanyyears of past, Iandmyshipthroughoutbepart of thissea area, even ifIam separated fromthishugecommunitynow, itwill not realizethis point——in a short time, butsince, on the other hand, the Black Oakpresentexistencewayis close toWhite Oak‚inverted image’, Ihave not made the contactwithVanisheddirectly, at leastdoes not havenow, Cold Frostwill not be hiding fromme...... ityoudoes not wantlikelythat‚intelligent’.”
“当然能,在过去的许多年里,我和我的船都始终是这片海域的一部分,即便现在我脱离了这个庞大的群落,它在短时间内也不会意识到这一点——而从另一方面,黑橡木号如今的存在方式更接近白橡木号的‘倒影’,我并没有直接和失乡号建立联系,至少现在还没有,寒霜是不会躲着我的……它并不像伱想的那么‘聪明’。”Lawrencedoes not fully understandis nodding, butsomedoubts: „Butthatwhat to doalsoonly then can youapproachits——IandWhite Oak? So long asweappear, itdefinitelyalsomeets‚escaping’......”劳伦斯半懂不懂地点着头,但又有些疑惑:“但那也只有你能靠近它——我和白橡木号怎么办?我们只要出现,它肯定还会‘逃跑’……”Marthasmiles.玛莎笑了笑。Onherfirst halfstep, presses the handgentlyin the Lawrencechest, on the facebrings the expression that fillsincluding the profound meaning, opens the mouthin a soft voice: „Very simple, makingusexchangeposition——here, the boundary of main bodyandinverted image is not so distinct.”
她上前半步,将手轻轻按在劳伦斯胸口,脸上带着满含深意的表情,轻声开口:“很简单,让我们交换一下位置——在这里,本体和倒影的界限并不那么分明。”Lawrencewas startled, subconsciousthenwantsto ask the meaning of opposite partythese words, howeverhehas not opened mouthwith enough time, then the feelingchesttransmits a thrust forceslightly.劳伦斯怔了一下,下意识便想开口询问对方这句话的意思,然而他还没来得及张嘴,便感觉胸口传来一阵微微的推力。Thisstrengthis very gentle, makeshimfeelinstantaneouslydizzilygeneral, heonlythought that oneselfis throwing downface up, inlosing the flash before consciousness, hefelt that oneselfwas supported the bodyfrombehind, the Marthagentlevoiceresoundedinhisear:
这力量很轻柔,却让他瞬间感觉天旋地转一般,他只觉得自己在仰面摔倒,在失去意识前的一瞬间,他感觉自己被人从后面托住了身子,玛莎轻柔的嗓音在他耳边响起:„Takes a nap a meeting, myspousal—— is an inconceivablejourney.”
“小睡一会吧,我的爱人——接下来是一段不可思议的旅途。”Lawrencegoes offmurkily, buthethought that oneselfonlywent off the flash, thenopened the eyesuddenly, the subconsciousnessshoutedone: „Martha!”劳伦斯昏昏沉沉睡去,但他觉得自己只睡去了一瞬间,便又猛然睁开了眼睛,下意识喊了一声:“玛莎!”Howeverspreads to hisear is actually the first mateGosse'svoice: „Captain, did youawake?”
然而传入他耳中的却是大副格斯的声音:“船长,您醒了?”Lawrencethoroughcomesfinallysoberly, hetries hardto haunch the body, because of the deep sleepsuddenly realized, but the bigmouthis breathing heavily, thenobserves the situationall around, realized that oneselfis lying downon the bed of Room Captainon——first mateGossefacehas the worryexpressionto standin the one side, the nearbyalsohasseveralsailors.劳伦斯终于彻底清醒过来,他努力撑起身体,因从沉睡中猛醒而大口喘着粗气,接着又环视四周,意识到自己正躺在船长的床铺上——大副格斯脸上带着担心的表情站在一旁,附近还有几个水手。Butin a cornerpointplace, healsosawfamiliarform——isAnomaly077, thatdry corpsewas taking advantage that the persondid not pay attentionto take the roothangman's ropeto gesticulateon the oneselfneck, butafterrealizing the Lawrencevision, hereceived the stringinstantaneously, pretends that anythinghas not happened.
而在更角落一点的地方,他还看到了一个熟悉的身影——是异常077,那干尸正趁人不注意拿着根绞索在自己脖子上比划着,但在意识到劳伦斯的目光之后,他瞬间收起了绳子,假装什么也没发生。„Mythiswas......”Lawrencebreathesuniform the air/Qi, is rubbing the foreheadwhilemuttered, suddenlyis unable to distinguish clearlyoneselfunexpectedlyin the dreaminReality, matter that some time agohadlikeillusionfluctuateinmemory.
“我这是……”劳伦斯喘匀了气,一边揉着额头一边咕哝道,一时间竟无法分清自己是在梦里还是在现实中,不久前发生的事情如幻象般在记忆中起起伏伏。„Youhave returned to White Oak, is‚sailor’bringsyou,”first matesaysimmediately,andraised the handreferred tonot far awaythatdry corpse, „youalreadylethargic sleepseveralhours.”
“您已经回到白橡木号上,是‘水手’把您带回来的,”大副立刻说道,并抬手指了指不远处那具干尸,“您已经昏睡数个小时了。”„Iremember that...... IrememberoneselfexploresBlack Oak, but alsosawMartha above...... thesematterreallyoccurrences?”Lawrencemakes an effortto rub the forehead, thenlifts the eye, „Black Oak? Nowwhere is itat?”
“我记得……我记得自己去探索黑橡木号,还在上面看到了玛莎……这些事情真的发生过吗?”劳伦斯用力揉着额头,接着又抬起眼睛,“黑橡木号呢?它现在在哪?”„Yourmemorydoes not have the issue, youtrulywent tothatship, ‚sailor’alsotoldus, yousawMs.Marthaon that”first mateGosseput out a handto support by the armLawrence, but the wordstold only half the complexionsomewhatwas also strange, „whichas forthatshipnowin...... Captain, the presentsituationis somewhat strange, Ido not know how shouldexplaintoyou......”
“您的记忆没有问题,您确实去了那艘船,‘水手’也告诉我们,您在那上面见到了玛莎女士,”大副格斯伸手将劳伦斯搀扶起来,但话说到一半的时候脸色又有些古怪,“至于那艘船现在在哪……船长,现在的情况有些古怪,我不知道该怎么跟您解释……”„Strange?”Lawrenceis knitting the brows, „what do you mean?”
“古怪?”劳伦斯皱着眉,“什么意思?”„Ourshipslose the controlnow, the ship's rudder and propellerno matteruses, White Oakis wanderinglikeGhost Ship,...... Ileadsyouto lookas forBlack Oak.”
“我们的船现在失去了控制,船舵和螺旋桨都不管用,白橡木号正在像幽灵船一样漂流,至于黑橡木号……我带您去看。”Is listening to the first mateheavyheartedwords , the expression on Lawrencefaceinstantaneousis dignified, heshoved open the opposite partyto support by the armown, took a stepto followin the sailorsto walktowardout of the doorbehind.
听着大副忧心忡忡的话语,劳伦斯脸上的表情已经瞬间凝重起来,他推开了对方搀扶自己的手,迈步跟在水手们身后向门外走去。Butat the same time, healsonoticedoneselfas well asits others 'schange——
而与此同时,他也注意到了自己以及其他人身上的变化——
The spiritbodyflame of thatspookycombustiondoes not know when has extinguished, everyonerecovers the living personconditionnow, the surroundingfloor and wallalsono longerpresentedthattypeas ifto restore the normal statelikeVanishedgeneralflameburning state——hereall.
那幽幽燃烧的灵体火焰不知何时已经熄灭了,所有人的身体现在又都恢复了活人般的状态,周围的地板和墙壁也不再呈现出那种如同失乡号一般的火焰燃烧状态——这里的一切似乎都恢复了常态。
The first matenoticed the Captainvision, opened the mouthto explain: „Flameabatesbeforeseveralhours, shortly afteryoucome back.”
大副注意到了船长的目光,开口解释道:“火焰是在数小时前消退的,就在您回来之后不久。”Lawrencenodssilently, compared with the abatedGhost Spiritroaring flame, hecaresnowexactlyhadanything, the oneselfthiscalmfirst matewill always show the expression that somade excusesandis at a loss.劳伦斯默不作声地点了点头,比起已经消退的幽灵烈焰,他现在更在意到底发生了什么,以至于自己这一向沉稳的大副都会露出这般支支吾吾、无所适从的表情。Quick, hethen and sailorsleft the cabintogether, arrived in the White Oakdeck.
很快,他便和水手们一同离开了船舱,来到了白橡木号的甲板上。Onlyin a flash, hethenrealizedin the environment...... strange.
只一瞬间,他便意识到了周围环境中的……诡异。Moist, ice-cold, as ifby the sea-water immersion, the skycould not have been seen a raycompletely, only thensuch as the strangeshadowmassfloatin the sky, the sideis calm, has the ice-coldmobilefeelingsto touchskin every inchs, once for a whilecansee that the strangeturbulent flowtraceappearsin the , was similar to the airto exude the tinyair bubble.
潮湿,冰冷,仿佛被海水浸泡,天空已经完全看不到一点光芒,只有如诡异阴影般的团块漂浮在上空,身边无风,却又有冰冷的流动感触碰着身上的每一寸皮肤,时不时可以看到怪异的湍流痕迹出现在附近,就如同空气中泛起了细小的气泡。Lawrencefeels the environment that peripherythisis full to be out of sortsstunned, andrealizedindistinctlywhat happened, when first mateGossebringsheis arriving at the broad sideedge, hefurtherconfirmed the ownsuspicion.劳伦斯错愕地感受着周围这充满违和的环境,并隐隐约约意识到发生了什么事情,而当大副格斯带着他来到船舷边缘时,他更进一步确认了自己的猜想。„Black Oakinthat.”
“黑橡木号在那。”
The bigsubstationin the broad sideedge, points below sea waterto say.
大副站在船舷边缘,指着正下方的海水说道。Lawrencelowers the head, saw that „sea”fluctuatesslowly, the ripple that in the White Oaktravelprocessarousesspreadsinperipherywith a distortionstrangesense of realityslowly, butinsuch as the distortionmirror surfacesea level, hesawWhite Oak„inverted image”.劳伦斯低下头,看到“大海”缓缓起伏,白橡木号行驶过程中激起的波纹以一种扭曲怪异的质感在周围慢慢扩散,而在如扭曲镜面般的海面上,他看到了白橡木号的“倒影”。Thatisoneby the jet blackships that the thick fog and shadowpackage, on the shipis lightenedseveralghostlights, it„reflecting”underWhite Oak, is braving all hardships the line.
那是一艘被浓雾和阴影包裹的漆黑舰船,船上点亮着几盏幽魂般的灯火,它“倒映”在白橡木号下方,正乘风破浪而行。Whenthis moment, LawrenceunderstandsfinallyMarthaon point of departurethatwords that spokearewhatmeaning.
在这一刻,劳伦斯终于明白了玛莎临别时所说的那番话到底是什么意思。Now, White Oakwas the Black Oakinverted image.
现在,白橡木号是黑橡木号的倒影了。„Captain......”first mateGosseis paying attention to the expressionchange on Lawrenceface, manyyears of followingexperiencesmakehimjudgekeenlywhatsituationoldCaptainhad possibly knownthis, „? Why will we inverted imageinseaturn into the Black Oakappearance? Moreover the out-of-control of ship......”
“船长……”大副格斯注意着劳伦斯脸上的表情变化,多年的追随经验让他敏锐地判断出老船长可能已经知道了这到底什么情况,“这是怎么回事?为什么我们在海中的倒影会变成黑橡木号的模样?而且船的失控……”„Wedo not haveout of control——weto follow the Black Oaknavigation,”Lawrenceshouted the tonegently, on the faceshowed the lightsmile, „makeseveryonerestwell, conserves strength, weare going toone to solveallproblems the places.”
“我们没有失控——我们只是在跟随黑橡木号航行,”劳伦斯轻轻呼了口气,脸上露出了淡淡的笑容,“让大家好好休息,养精蓄锐,我们正在前往一个能解决一切问题的地方。”„Cansolveallproblems the places?” The first mateblinkspuzzled, „do wewantto go?”
“能解决一切问题的地方?”大副困惑地眨了眨眼睛,“我们要去哪?”„Weare going toCold Frost.”
“我们在前往寒霜。”

……
The curtain of nightis coveringCity-Stategradually.
夜幕正渐渐笼罩城邦。Twoformsacrosshave been at the curfewconditionfast the streets and alleys.
两个身影正快速穿过已经处于宵禁状态的街巷。
A formis especially bigtall and strong, the bodywearreminded us of the blacklongwindproof coatcoat that the nightfell, anotherformseemedespeciallydiminutive, although the bodywrapped a thickwinter clothing, actually can still seeunderthatwinter clothing the quiteemaciatedfigure.
一个身影格外高大魁梧,身上穿着令人联想到夜幕降临的黑色长风衣外套,另一个身影则显得格外矮小,尽管身上套了一件厚实的冬装,却仍能看出那冬装下颇为瘦弱的身形。Cold windblows, thatemaciateddiminutiveformsneezessolid: „...... Achoo!”
一阵寒风吹来,那瘦弱矮小的身影结结实实地打了个喷嚏:“……阿嚏!”Duncanlowers the head, looksis rubbingShirley of nose: „Madeyouput on the scarfyounot to wear the ——Cold Frostnightto be possiblePlandto be colder.”邓肯低下头,看着正在揉鼻子的雪莉:“让你戴上围巾你偏不戴——寒霜的夜晚可比普兰德冷多了。”„Goodcold......”Shirleyto tighten the clothessubconsciously, althoughthisclothesactuallyresist the surroundingtemperaturesufficiently, shefeels the cold windto be piercing, since childhoodwas borninPlandshe who grows up, obviously was unable to adapt to the Cold Frostclimate, „Ia littleregrettedto come out......”
“好冷……”雪莉下意识地紧了紧衣服,尽管这身衣服其实足以抵御周围的温度,她还是觉得冷风刺骨,从小在普兰德出生长大的她,显然还不是很能适应寒霜的气候,“我有点后悔出来了……”
The Duncanfaint smilelooks atthismiss: „Was notyousaid that so long asdid not do the homework, whygoodmakingyou?”邓肯似笑非笑地看着这姑娘:“不是你说的,只要不写作业,让你干什么都行吗?”Shirleyonehear of this, immediately a supineneck, incold windobstinate argumentative: „Right, Isaid!”雪莉一听这个,顿时一仰脖子,在寒风中嘴硬:“对啊,我说的!”„Whole body, is hardeston the mouth,”Duncansighedreluctantly, laterraised the head, the visionwent to the alley in distant place, „walked, Ihave not wantedto deal withPatrol Guard.”
“全身上下,就嘴最硬,”邓肯无奈地叹了口气,随后抬起头,目光投向远方的小巷,“走吧,我还不想跟巡夜的守卫者打交道。”Shirleyhurriesto turn over the smallshortlegto keep up with the Duncanfootsteps, proceedswith effortwhilecannot bear the curiousopens the mouth: „Do wewantto goto do?”雪莉赶紧倒腾着小短腿跟上邓肯的脚步,一边费力地往前走着一边忍不住好奇开口:“咱们到底要去干什么啊?”„Confirmedsomebody'scondition.”Duncanis walkingforwardwhilespoke thoughtlesslyto say.
“确认某个人的状况。”邓肯一边向前走着一边随口说道。„Somebody'scondition?”Shirleyis supine the face, looks attall and strongCaptain, „who?”
“某个人的状况?”雪莉仰起脸,看着身旁魁梧的船长,“谁啊?”„Gatekeeper, Agatha.”Duncansaidlightly.
“守门人,阿加莎。”邓肯淡淡说道。Hisvisioncrosses the curtain of night, is gazing at the frontstreets and alleysend.
他的目光则越过夜幕,注视着前方的街巷尽头。Bunch of smallquietgreenflameis burninginhisfield of vision, flickering, the twinkleis uncertain, seems away from a thickcurtain.
一簇小小的幽绿火苗在他的视野中燃烧着,忽明忽暗,闪烁不定,仿佛隔着一层厚厚的幔帐。
