Connects the secret passagedeep place of secondwaterway, Nimmo Wilkinshandholds an inspection lamp, infrontguideswhilesaidwith some expressions of taking pleasure in others' misfortunes: „Ourpeoplehave received the wind sound/rumor, the evacuationand‚cleaning’cleanthisfollowingtrace, the Churchperson——thesespreaddarknessshouldmakethemhave a headachein the central the undergrounddrill of cityandXCareanow.”
连接第二水路的秘密通道深处,尼莫・威尔金斯手执一盏提灯,一边在前面带路一边用有些幸灾乐祸的语气说道:“我们的人都已经收到风声,撤离并‘清扫’干净了这下面的痕迹,教会的人正在中央城区和XC区的地下钻来钻去——现在那些蔓延的黑暗该让他们头疼了。”„Ialsoworried that youwill seize the chanceto dosomedestruction,”Duncanspoke thoughtlessly saying that „after allin the secondwaterway, you were the home game.”
“我还担心你们会趁机搞些破坏,”邓肯随口说道,“毕竟在第二水路,你们才是主场。”„Wedo not needto do that”Nimmoactuallyshakes the head, „wegive loyalty toTyrianCaptain, butTyrianCaptainneverwantsto ruinthisCity-State——fromprotecting the City-Stateangle, weandChurch, evenhas no conflictwith the city hall. Now the Churchheretic in person'sinthinkingmeanseliminationcity, we are also insufficientto be swayed by personal feelings, makesto helpthesehereticthings.”
“我们没必要这么做,”尼莫却摇了摇头,“我们效忠提瑞安船长,而提瑞安船长从不希望毁掉这座城邦——从保护城邦的角度,我们和教会,甚至和市政厅都没什么冲突。现在教会的人在想办法清除城里的邪教徒,我们还不至于意气用事,做出帮助那些邪教徒的事情。”Duncannods, thenalsosomewhataskedonecuriously: „Hasn't oldghostappearedtoday?”邓肯点了点头,接着又有些好奇地问了一句:“老鬼今天没出现?”„Oldghosthe......”inNimmowordsis somewhat scruple, thensighedgently, „the oldghostrecentstate of mind was even more unstable, hewas too old . Moreover the Churchorganizationmanpowersearched the action of secondwaterwayalsosomewhatto stimulatehisnerve, thismadehimrecallinitiallyinsewerfight——toavoid the condition, I can only makehimrestthat side the taverncave.”
“老鬼他……”尼莫话语中有些迟疑,接着轻轻叹了口气,“老鬼最近的精神状态愈发不稳定,他年纪太大了,而且教会组织人力搜索第二水路的行动也有些刺激到了他的神经,这让他回忆起当初在下水道里的战斗——为了避免出状况,我只能让他在酒馆地窖那边休息了。”
The finalsoldier who oncegave loyalty to the queen, could not go outdozensyears ago thatnightmare——Duncanalsoonly to sigheventuallyregarding this, andwas silentwithAliceis going to the secondwaterwaydeep place.
曾效忠女王的最后的战士,终究还是走不出几十年前的那场噩梦——邓肯对此也只能叹息一声,并和爱丽丝一起沉默着前往第二水路深处。Theypassed through the secret passage, after the multi-channelsecret doorandas ifby the crossroad of darksentry postsurveillance, entered the secondwaterwaythroughonewith the previoustimecompletelydifferentwayfinally.
他们穿过了秘密通道,又经过多道暗门和似乎被暗哨监视的路口,最后通过一条和上次完全不一样的路径进入了第二水路。Obviously, todeal with the search operations of Churchandauthority, ambushed the Sea MistfleetinformersinCity-Stateto begin usingonesetto prepare the goodcamouflage and early warning system.
显然,为了应对教会和当局的搜索行动,潜伏在城邦中的海雾舰队线人们启用了一套早就准备好的伪装、预警系统。Finally, DuncanandAliceunder the leadership of Nimmo the place that returns tothatcorridor——once the crowto have an accident.
最终,邓肯和爱丽丝在尼莫的带领下又回到了那条走廊——曾经乌鸦出事的地方。„Ifirstwent back,”NimmosaidtoDuncan,„inrecentcityanxious, the person of following closelyare getting more and more, Imuststare at the abovesituation, youmustpay attention toChurchhere......”
“我就先回去了,”尼莫对邓肯说道,“最近城中紧张,盯梢的人越来越多,我得盯着上面的情况,您在这里要注意教会的……”Hewantsto remind the Duncanattentionsecurity, meets the Churchsearchteamcarefullyhere, finally the wordstold only half that suddenlythoughtwhichhasis not right, suppressedfor quite a whilein the throat, emitsone: „Underyouhandles gently, they are actually not the unprincipled person......”
他想提醒邓肯注意安全,小心在这里遇上教会的搜索队伍,结果话说到一半突然又觉得有哪不对,在嗓子里憋了半天,冒出一句:“您下手轻点,他们其实都不是坏人……”Duncancould not bearhappily: „Youdo not needto worry,Iknowdiscretion——goes backquickly, youhas left the taverntoofor a long time.”邓肯忍不住乐了起来:“你不用担心,我知道分寸——赶快回去吧,伱已经离开酒馆太长时间了。”„Good.”
“好。”Nimmoleftquickly, the spaciousandgloomy and coldground waterLu Zhongyitimeis peaceful.
尼莫很快离开了,空旷而阴冷的地下水路中一时间安静下来。
When Duncanraised the head, looks at the frontemptycorridor, before the mindactuallyrecallsoneself , arrived here situation.邓肯抬起头,看着前方空荡荡的走廊,脑海中却回忆起自己之前来到这里时的情形。Thatnamed„crow” the young people, pourby the bilge of frontnot far away, hediedin the dryground, the cause of deathwas actually drownedby the sea water, butinhispocket, but also the stopperis not knowing where fromtranscribes„the biblebody”record.
那个叫“乌鸦”的年轻人,就是倒在前面不远处的污水沟旁,他在干燥的地面上死去,死因却是被海水溺毙,而在他的口袋中,还塞着一张不知从什么地方抄录来的“圣书体”记录。Nowthiscorridorhad been cleaned upcleanly, shouldbeNimmo and oldghostcleans up.
现在这条走廊已经被清理干净了,应该是尼莫和老鬼清理的。Duncanhas turned the head, saw that Aliceis followinghonestlysideoneself, in the eye that beside the veilrevealsleadsseriousexpression——buthimto know that thispuppetis in fact blowing off the head, anythinghas not thought.邓肯转过头,看到爱丽丝正老老实实跟在自己身旁,面纱之外露出来的眼睛中带着严肃的表情——但他知道这人偶实际上只是在放空脑袋,什么都没想。Duncanknows certainly that cannotcount on, infers anything withthispuppetdiscussion, hebringsAliceto come, becauseshecanseethese„line”——, even if occasionallybecause of„line that” the mirrorworldapproachesto divulge, cannot escapehereye.邓肯当然知道不能指望跟这个人偶讨论、推理什么东西,他带爱丽丝过来,只是因为她能看到那些“线”——哪怕是偶尔因镜像世界靠近而泄露过来的“线”,也逃不过她的眼睛。„Ifseeslineagain‚’, immediatelytellsme.”Duncansaidseriously.
“如果再看到‘线’,立刻告诉我。”邓肯严肃地说道。„Un un!”Alicenodsimmediately.
“嗯嗯!”爱丽丝立刻点头。Duncanslowlystand forth.邓肯慢慢向前走去。Inhismindis still thinking„crow”matter.
他脑海中则还在想着“乌鸦”的事情。
At that time, himandMorrisand the othersguessed that „crow”astrayedsomeplaceto encounter the misfortune, finallyactuallysearched for the entirecorridor unable to find the clue, the investigationthenreachesin the impass, butnowlooked like...... the place of crowastrayingas ifto have the answerat that time.
在当时,他和莫里斯等人都猜测“乌鸦”是误入了某个地方才遭遇不幸,最后却搜遍了整个走廊都没能找到线索,调查便陷入僵局中,而现在看来……当时乌鸦误入之处似乎有了答案。
Very likely, wasmirrorCold FrostneutralizesRealityCold Frostto have the shortconnectioninthiscorridor, thatpossiblywas a crevice, possiblywasinstantaneousinverted image—— that in the waterappearedsomewhere the crow that crossedfrom the bypassthenfalls intounfortunately.
极有可能,是镜像寒霜在这条走廊中和现实寒霜发生了短暂的交汇,那可能是一条裂隙,也可能是某处积水中浮现出的瞬间倒影——从旁路过的乌鸦便不幸地落入其中。
No matter how hebridged overthatboundaryat that time, is a little obvious:
不管他当时到底是怎么跨过那条界限的,有一点都很明显:Thiscorridor, shouldbe a weak point that between the mirrorandRealityconnect.
这条走廊,应该就是镜像和现实之间连接的一个薄弱点。
......
……Underground, gloomy and coldmoist, in the airfills the flavor that onetypeis getting moldy and spoilrottenly, feelingonprobablyentireCity-Stateisonecorpse—— that graduallyrots, butoneselfis walkingin the internal organs of thisrotten corpse.
地下,阴冷潮湿,空气中都弥漫着一种腐烂霉变的味道,给人的感觉就好像整座城邦都是一具正在逐渐烂掉的尸体——而自己正行走在这具腐尸的脏腑中。
The sound of footstepsinfilling the sewercorridor of strangetasteis resounding, soundingis slightly heavy, Agathais walkingslowlyforward, through the temporarydivination and spiritualitysensationconfirmeddirection that goes forward, whileis paying attention to the surroundingslightest sign of troublediscretely.
脚步声在弥漫着怪味的下水道走廊中响起,听上去略显沉重,阿加莎慢慢向前走着,一边通过临时的占卜和灵性感知确认前进的方向,一边谨慎注意着周围的风吹草动。
Her black clotheshas damagedseriously, softarmor of inside liningandtwines, the ceremonialbandage were also manymoreblood stains, the damage that on the bodyencounteredhad surpassedcritical of self-restore, she can only firstthink the techniqueto stop bleeding, actuallyhad no timeto consider the fleshrestoreagain the matter.
她的一袭黑衣已经破损严重,内衬的软甲和身上缠绕的、仪式性的绷带也多了更多的血污,躯体上遭到的损伤已经超过自我修复的临界,她只能先用神术止血,却无暇再考虑血肉修复的事情。However the goodnewsis, Agathaeven moredetermined the direction that oneselfgoes forwardwascorrect——aftereliminating more and more shamanomalies, inencounteredafterthisvenomousduplicationCity-Staterepeatedly, shefinallymore and moreclearly„smelling”to the flavors of theseheresies.
不过好消息是,阿加莎愈发确定自己前进的方向是正确的——在消灭了越来越多的赝品怪胎之后,在多次与这座充满恶意的复制城邦交锋之后,她终于越来越清晰地“嗅”到了那些异端的味道。Shepassed throughLower Districtmain street and small alleyfollowingthisflavor, passed through the subwaypath of spaciousdistortion, sneaks in the collapsingtopplingsewer, finally, discoveredthishas left uncultivateddoes not knowmanyyears, the worldsituated inCity-Stateundergrounddeep place.
她循着这股味道穿过了下城区的大街小巷,穿过了空旷扭曲的地铁通路,钻进坍塌倾颓的下水道,最终,发现了这个已经荒废不知多少年的、位于城邦地下深处的世界。Heresurpassesher the record that seesbroadlyin the records depository, surpassedherto seethesefilelaterimagination.
这里的广阔超出她在档案库中看到的记录,超出了她在看到那些档案之后的想象。Agatharaised the head, looks at the frontlightdimbroadcorridor, the ancientgaslampembedon the corridorboth sideswalls, the lampflame that the air feedis insufficientflickers, the raydrags the beatin the coverglass, on the corridorarch of arcmaysee the pipelineand that the structural supportspread across, under the gaslamp of swayingshines, allthingsthrew down the shadow that rocks the distortion, as if there is innumerableinvisiblething, wrigglingduringthatis dim.阿加莎抬起头,看着前方灯光昏暗的宽阔走廊,古老的瓦斯灯镶嵌在走廊两侧的墙壁上,供气不足的灯焰忽明忽暗,光芒在玻璃罩中摇曳跳动,弧形的走廊拱顶上又可看到纵横交错的管道与支撑结构,在摇晃的瓦斯灯照耀下,所有东西都投下了晃动扭曲的影子,就仿佛有无数的无形之物,蠕动在那昏暗之中。Butbycorridorground, is flowing the drainage ditch of sewage, onrevoltingBlackwater'sflowsfromwallgrillopens the mouth, integratesthesedrainage ditches, exudes the bicker.
而在走廊的地面两侧,则是流淌着污水的沟渠,令人作呕的黑水从墙壁上的格栅开口中流淌下来,融入那些沟渠,发出哗哗的流水声。Agathaknows where hereis.阿加莎知道这里是什么地方。HereisCold Frostundergroundplace that „the secondwaterway”——sheplannedto leadto explore.
这里是寒霜地下的“第二水路”——她原本就打算带队探索的地方。Onlywhatis differentfrom the plan, whatsheplannedto leadto exploreisCity-State in Real Worldunderground, this momentoneselfwas actually strandedinCold Frost that induplicates.
唯一跟计划不同的是,她本打算带队探索的是现实世界中的城邦地下,此刻自己却被困在一个复制出来的寒霜中。Agathaclosed the eyeslightly, the carefulsensationauraflowing in air, sheis shieldingthesefilthyodorsflavors, depends upon the ownspiritualityintuition, is searching the positions of theseheresies.阿加莎微微闭上了眼睛,仔细感知着空气中的气息流动,她屏蔽着那些污浊恶臭的味道,依靠自己的灵性直觉,搜索着那些异端的方位。Shecanfeel, the time that asoneselfis detainedhereis longer, andtheseanomalieshave to do, oneselfwiththisshamcities„relation”graduallywas also being strengthened.
她能够感觉到,随着自己在这里滞留的时间越长,跟那些怪胎打交道越多,自己与这座赝品城市之间的“联系”也在被逐渐加强。Infront.
在前面。Gatekeeperopens the eye, disregardsindistinctache that variouswoundstransmitted, chose the frontroad fork , to continue walkstoward the corridordeep place.守门人睁开眼睛,无视了身上各处伤口传来的隐约疼痛,选择了前方一条岔路口,继续向走廊深处走去。Sheremembered a mattersuddenly.
她突然想起了一件事情。Some time ago, oneselfoncevisitedthatarrivedinCold Frost, somedoubtfulancientShenhuodeifiedexistence of body, at that time the opposite partyoncesuggestedto her wantedherto go„underground”to look for the clue.
不久前,自己曾拜访那位降临在寒霜的、疑似某位古神或古神化身的存在,当时对方曾向她暗示,要她去“地下”寻找线索。Now, sheis approaching the lair that theseheresieshideunder the auradirectionunceasingly.
现在,她正在气息指引下不断靠近那些异端藏身的巢穴。TheseheresiesreallyhideinCity-Stateunderground, hides——is onlythis„undergroundsafe house”is not in the Real WorldCold Frostcityin the secondwaterway that thisabandons, butinforeign land that induplicates.
那些异端真的藏身于城邦地下,藏在这废弃的第二水路中——只是这“地下藏身处”并不在现实世界的寒霜城里,而是在一个复制出来的异域内。Agathapulled the corners of the mouth.阿加莎扯了扯嘴角。Pathups and downs, after allzero point.
道路曲折,终归原点。Shemisunderstoodthatarrivalsuggestionat that time, was mistaken that enemyonconcealsin the Real Worldsecondwaterway, nowoneselfactually the mistake arising out of chance circumstancesentersthisto duplicateCity-State, andfound the cluein the secondwaterway of thisreplica.
她当时误解了那位降临者的暗示,误以为敌人就藏在现实世界的第二水路里,现在自己却又阴差阳错地进入了这个复制城邦,并在这复制品的第二水路中找到了线索。Paces back and forthin the branch road, ultimatelymoves towardcorrectdirection——this is also a luck?
在岔路中徘徊,最终走向正确的方向——这是否也是一种幸运?Agathais observing the surroundingsituation.阿加莎观察着周围的情况。
The secondwaterway in Real Worldshe, althoughdoes not haveto nosethoroughly, butalsoknows that somegeneralsituations, sheknowsthatancientsewage systemhas abandonedandblockedthoroughly, all the pipelinetosecondwaterway, shaft and drain tankhas closed, theoretically, thereshouldbedryor the relativelydryplace.现实世界中的第二水路她虽然没有深入查探过,但也知道一些大概情况,她知道那个古老的下水道系统早已彻底废弃、封锁,所有通往第二水路的管道、竖井和排水槽都已经关闭,理论上,那里应该是一个干燥或相对干燥的地方。Butin the presentsewercorridoractually the finding at everywheresewageflows, in the surroundingpipeline can also hear the sound of draining wateronce for a while.
而眼前的下水道走廊中却随处可见污水流淌,周围的管道中也时不时能听到排水的声音。InCold FrostCity-State that thisduplicates, does the secondwaterwaypresentcontinuouslyusedcondition——this is also the difference between sham and quality goods?
在这个复制出来的寒霜城邦,第二水路呈现出一直被使用的状态——这也是赝品和正品之间的区别?Agathais thinking, latersuddenlystopped the footsteps.阿加莎思索着,随后突然停下了脚步。
The stickydisgustingcreeping motionsoundtransmitsfrom the surroundings, the managesroad junctions of thesepollution dischargesandcover the wallsurface of blackpollutant, the blackmudare infiltratingunceasinglyoutward.
黏腻恶心的蠕动声从周围传来,那些排污的管道口和覆盖着黑色污染物的墙壁表面,黑色泥浆正在不断向外渗透。
The anomaly that theseare haunted by the ghostcame.
那些阴魂不散的怪胎又来了。
Very tired, the woundis aching, the ceremonybandagehas damaged, God of Deathblessing also graduallyweakens, the bloodoutflowcausesfeltweaklydegree that is unable to neglect.
身体很疲惫,伤口在作痛,仪式绷带已经破损,死亡之神的赐福也随之逐渐减弱,血液流失导致的虚弱感到了无法忽视的程度。ButAgathais onlyraised the headtranquilly, is gazing atthesein the abnormalmonster that oneselfgathersat present.
但阿加莎只是平静地抬起头,注视着那些正在自己眼前汇聚起来的畸形怪物。„Come, goes.”
“来吧,赴死。”
