躲在几十米外房屋阴影里的克莱恩一直眺望着黑暗里的目标建筑,隐约听见了一阵剧烈的风声,清楚分辨出了乓乓乓的枪响。„If the enemyruns awayto my place, Ishoulddraw a pistolto set an example, pretends that hasn't seen?”Hisbodytremblesslightly, the palmseeps the sweatto think.
“如果敌人向我这个地方逃窜,我是该拔枪做个样子呢,还是假装没有看见?”他身体略微颤栗,掌心沁出汗水地想着。CanreduceExtraordinary of person of lifedyingwithvariousmethodsabsolutely not possibly, only thenSequence NineorSequence Eight, is not his Divinatorcan the upfrontresistance, evensacrificed itself, is not necessarily ableto delay the opposite party, isopportunity that DunnandLeonardtheycreateto pursue.
能用各种手段缩短将死之人生命的非凡者绝对不可能只有序列9或者序列8,不是他这个占卜家能够正面对抗的,就算牺牲自己,都未必可以延缓对方,为邓恩和伦纳德他们创造追赶上来的机会。Fortunately, wieldshope that the calamityGoddess of the Nightas ifheardIt„faithfully”to guard, alwaysno oneturned toward the position that Kleinhidto flee.
幸运的是,执掌厄难的黑夜女神似乎听见了祂“忠实”守卫的祈求,始终没有人向着克莱恩躲藏的位置奔逃。Crossed for severalminutes, hehearsgoalbuildingthereto have the singing sound of flutteringto spread.
过了好几分钟,他听见目标建筑那里有飘扬的歌声传出。Has leaned the ear, the carefulresolution, Kleinconfirmed that thisis the Leonard Mitchelloften/commonsnort/humfolkfolk song, insidewas full of the vulgarsentence.
侧过耳朵,仔细分辨,克莱恩确认这是伦纳德.米切尔常哼的民俗小调,里面充满了低俗的语句。Hū, hisrelaxed, held a gunsingle-handedly, raised the sticksingle-handedly, came out of the shadow, closed uptoward the goalconstruction.
呼,他松了口气,一手持枪,一手提杖,走出阴影,向着目标建筑靠拢。Thisfolkfolk songisheandDunnand the othersagreed the goodmeetingsignal!
这民俗小调正是他与邓恩等人约定好的会合信号!Justtooktwosteps, Kleinstopssuddenly, the cane by nearbyiron fence, leftwill take turns a hand.
刚迈出两步,克莱恩忽然停顿,将手杖靠在旁边的铁栅栏上,将左轮换了一只手。Then, heloosens the silverchain in sleeve cuff, makingcitrine pendantnaturallycrash.
然后,他解下袖口内的银链,让黄水晶吊坠自然坠落。Exchanged the revolver and spiritual pendulumposition, Klein, whencitrineswayssteadily, immediatelyin the semi-closure the eye, enters the meditationcondition, andmeditates the divinationsentence:
交换了左轮和灵摆的位置,克莱恩等到黄水晶的摇晃平稳,立刻半闭上眼睛,进入冥想状态,并默念起占卜语句:„singing soundwas the illusion.”
“刚才的歌声是幻觉。”„singing soundwas the illusion.”
“刚才的歌声是幻觉。”
......
……
After seven, heopens the eye, seesto hangto fallis rotatinganti-clockwise.
七遍之后,他睁开眼睛,看见吊坠在逆时针转动。„Was not the illusion......” a Kleinheartreturned the home position, heldgoodspiritual pendulum, took the cane, approached the archiron fencefront door of goalconstructionfast, will then inlay the silver the blackcaneto giveright palm, was graspedwith the revolvertogether.
“不是幻觉……”克莱恩一颗心放回了原位,揣好灵摆,提上手杖,飞快临近了目标建筑的拱形铁栅栏大门,然后将镶银的黑色手杖交给右掌,与左轮一起被拿住。Hejustput out a handto touch the parapet, triesto shove open, suddenlyfeelsto have the piercingcool feelingto well up, likeinsituation of nopreparationbypersonstopper an ice piece of neck.
他刚伸手触碰到栏杆,试图推开,忽然感受到有刺骨的凉意涌来,就像在毫无心理准备的情况下被人塞了一脖子的冰块。Hiss! Kleindraws back the handfiercely, grimaces.
嘶!克莱恩猛地缩手,呲牙咧嘴。„Herewithwintersame......” he street light of weakstar lightanddistant place, looks into the distanceto the garden after iron fencefront door, seeingtheretendrilsto wither, the flowersare on the wane, manyleavesdye the hoar frostto fallabove the black-brownsoil.
“这里就和冬天一样……”他就着微弱的星光和远处的路灯,眺望向铁栅栏大门后的花园,看见那里枝蔓枯萎,花朵凋零,不少叶子染着白霜落于黑褐色泥土之上。Fierce! Kleinsighedonesecretly, counted on the fingersto knockforeheadtwo, openedspirit vision.
厉害啊!克莱恩暗自感叹一句,屈指敲了眉心两下,开启了灵视。Hisleft handrecaptioninlays the silver the blackwoodenstick, resists the stockadewithit, caught upto open the unlatchedfront door.
他左手取回镶银的黑色木杖,用它抵住栅栏,发力推开了虚掩的大门。In the creaksound, hewas sidewaysto pass, steppedflagstonepath that went nonstop tocold colorlittlebuilding, both sides the plant of indistinctas ifghostinnight.吱嘎的声响里,他侧身通过,踏上了直通灰蓝色小楼的石板道路,两侧是在黑夜里隐隐绰绰仿佛幽魂的植物。SuchpicturemadeKleinthink of all kinds ofghost stories and strangemoviesspontaneously.
这样的画面让克莱恩油然想到了各种各样的鬼故事和灵异电影。Heslowed downto breathesubconsciously, sped up the footsteps, mayjustwalkseveralmeters, the left shoulderwas pattedbywhomsuddenly.
他下意识放缓呼吸,加快了脚步,可刚走了几米,左肩突地被谁拍了一下。plop! plop! The Klein'sheartfirststagnates, thenbeatsfiercely.噗通!噗通!克莱恩的心脏先是一滞,接着剧烈跳动。Helifts the right hand, aimed atthatdirectionwith the revolver, thenturned aroundslowly, looked.
他抬起右手,用左轮瞄准了那个方向,然后缓慢转身,望了过去。In the weakray, hesees a branchto sway, nearlyfalls.
微弱的光芒里,他看见一根树枝摇摇晃晃,险些掉落。„Did thisask itselfto frighten itself?” The Kleincorners of the mouthpulled out, wieldedunder the cane, got inthatbranch.
“这叫自己吓自己?”克莱恩嘴角一抽,挥了下手杖,将那根树枝打了下来。Hecontinues, the earbankstartsto appear , if there is wail that resemblesnot to have, the calling out in griefsound, in the eyealsoshone upontransparently, fuzzy, was closeinvisible„shadow”.
他继续前行,耳畔开始出现若有似无的哭泣声,悲鸣声,眼中也映照出了一道道透明的、模糊的、接近无形的“幽影”。Theseshadowfeel the warmth of auraandflesh of living person, welled upin abundance.
这些幽影感受到活人的气息和血肉的温暖,纷纷涌了过来。Kleinhas a scare, immediatelyran, deng deng dengbroke in the main entrance of gray-bluehouse.克莱恩吓了一跳,当即跑了起来,蹬蹬蹬冲入了灰蓝色房屋的正门。
Is this feelingatmosphere that captainsaid?

Moreover, threeextinguishingcandles.
这就是队长说的感受气氛?确实比帮助德维尔爵士那次可怕多了……怨念明显比“幽影”呆板,没有主动攻击性……他边想边走向位于客厅中央的祭台,那是一张圆桌,上面摆满了做工粗糙的木偶,另外,还有三根熄灭的蜡烛。Dunn Smithis standingin the sacrificial altarfront, turns away fromKlein, a puppetpuppettakes upto watch.邓恩.史密斯正站在祭台前方,背对克莱恩,一个木偶一个木偶地拿起观看。"Corpse Collector" Fryecalmlygazes at„shadow that”theseare fluttering, triesto put out a handto comfortthem, butactually can only pass throughweak, but„shadow”has not attackedhim, as ifregardedhimsimilar.“收尸人”弗莱则静静注视着那些飘荡的“幽影”,试图伸手安抚它们,可却只能无力地穿过,而“幽影”们也未攻击他,似乎将他当成了同类。Leonard MitchellseesKleinto arrive, the intonationchanges, the voicebecomeslow and deep, butmagnetism:伦纳德.米切尔见克莱恩抵达,语调一改,嗓音变得低沉而磁性:„Thisis a tranquilearly morning,”
“这是一片宁静的清晨,”„Is suiting a thattranquilersadness.”
“正适合那更宁静的悲切。”„Onlyheardacrossautumn leaf of dying of old age”
“只听得穿过凋谢的秋叶”„Sound that chestnutfalls to the groundgently.”( 1 )
“栗子轻轻落地的声音。”(注1)
......
……Thisquietslowsecuresoftpoetryrecitedin the sound, Kleinas ifsaw a lake surface that is shining upon the clearmoonlight, sawcalmlyto be hanginginscarlet moon of upper air.
这幽缓安柔的诗歌吟唱声里,克莱恩仿佛看见了一片映照着粼粼月光的湖面,看见了静静悬挂于高空的红月。These„shadow”tranquil, no longerpursues the warmth of auraandflesh of living person.
那些“幽影”平静了下来,不再追逐活人的气息和血肉的温暖。Dunnputs down the puppet in hand, has turned round, saidtoKlein:邓恩放下手中的木偶,回过身来,对克莱恩道:„Thisis a fearfulcurseceremony, fortunately, wehad destroyedit.”
“这是一个可怕的诅咒仪式,幸运的是,我们已经破坏了它。”„Youfirstarrange the ceremony, comfortsresidualspirituality, is tryingspiritism, looked whether to obtain the cluefrom their.”
“你先布置仪式,安抚残留的灵性,然后尝试着通灵,看能否从它们那里得到线索。”Discoveredoneselfno longerareburdenKleinthrows out the chestto raise the headto sayimmediately:
发现自己不再是累赘的克莱恩当即挺胸抬头道:„Yes, captain.”
“是,队长。”He2-3stepsarrives in the sacrificial altar, put out a handto sweep the round tablethesepuppets.
他2-3步抵达祭台,伸手将那些木偶扫出了圆桌。At this time, hiscorner of the eyesplit visionlooked above eachpuppetto have the information of differentnameandcorrespondence.
这个时候,他眼角余光瞄到每个木偶之上都有不同的姓名和对应的信息。„captain, somepeople of discoveryunderstanding?”Kleinspoke thoughtlesslyto askone.
“队长,有发现认识的人吗?”克莱恩随口问了一句。Asked,helooked atDunn, Dunnlooked athim, both sidesfell intosilent.
问完,他看了看邓恩,邓恩又看了看他,双方都陷入了沉默。HowIreallysilly...... Iwill ask that tests the captainmemorystrength the issue! Kleinnearlycovers the face the deep sigh.
我真傻……我怎么会问考验队长记忆力的问题!克莱恩险些掩面长叹。Tradesto makeotherleadership, laterwill definitely find the opportunityto wear the small shoestome, fortunately, fortunately, captainhewill forgetthismatter...... reallydoes not knowthiscalculates the merit, the shortcoming...... hepartlyisrejoiced that halfisteasesis thinking.
换做别的领导,之后肯定会找机会给我穿小鞋,还好,还好,队长他会忘记这件事情的……真不知道这算优点,还是缺点……他半是庆幸半是调侃地想着。
After silentmore than tenseconds, Dunnas ifdividedto be clearfinally the reality and dreamland, said:
默然十几秒之后,邓恩似乎终于分清楚了现实与梦境,开口说道:„Person who youknow.”
“有一个你认识的人。”„Who?”Kleinstoppedplaced the movement of candle.
“谁?”克莱恩停住了重新摆放蜡烛的动作。„Joyce Meyer, ‚The Medicagomassacre’survivor.” The Dunnspoken languagerepliedsuccinctly.
“乔伊斯.迈尔,‘苜蓿号惨案’的幸存者。”邓恩言语简洁地回答道。Joyce Meyer? Annafiance...... KleinoneSolls that associatedtocharitable institutionseemed like instigatedto be induced, will erupt, the matter that triedto set on fireahead of time.乔伊斯.迈尔?安娜的未婚夫……克莱恩一下联想到了济贫院的索尔斯似乎是被人教唆被人诱导,才会提前爆发,试图纵火的事情。Hetakes back the right hand, the sinkingsoundsaid:
他收回右手,沉声说道:„《Instigator》Terris?”
“‘教唆者’特里斯?”„Heuses the person of reducedlifedyingmakes the sacrificial offering, triesto curseall‚The Medicagomassacre’survivor? Becausehedoes not know that iswhofinds the problem, reported the police......”
“他用将死之人被缩短的生命做祭品,试图诅咒所有的‘苜蓿号惨案’幸存者?因为他不知道是谁发现问题,报告了警方……”ButifTerrisstartsto retaliatedirectly, nottoopossible to get rid of the dispersionto livein the completegoals of differentplaceonetime, at most after 2-3cases, hewill noticebyNight Watcher, Justice EnforcerandHeart of Mechanics, loses the opportunity that will continueto commit a crime...... the Kleinalmostbrainto make up the approach of opposite partywhysochoice.
而特里斯要是直接下手报复,不太可能一次就能干掉分散居住于不同地方的全部目标,顶多2-3起案件后,他就会被值夜者、代罚者和机械之心注意到,丧失继续作案的机会……克莱恩几乎脑补出了对方为什么如此选择的思路。Dunnfirstnods, thenshakes the head saying:邓恩先是点头,接着摇头道:„It is not allsurvivors, is the Thengen Citycompletesurvivor, hiscurseceremony can only affect the crowd within thisrange.”
“不是所有幸存者,是廷根市的全部幸存者,他的诅咒仪式只能影响这个范围内的人群。”„Moreover, the president of ceremonyis a female, is notTerris.”
“另外,仪式的主持者是女性,不是特里斯。”Kleinfrowns saying:克莱恩微皱眉头道:„PerhapsisSpirit Awareness Leaguesendsto helpTerrisexpert?”
“也许是灵知会派来帮助特里斯的强者?”„Un, the Spirit Awareness LeaguesourcepossiblyinvolvesDemoness Cult, expertis the femaleis very normal.”
“嗯,灵知会的源头可能牵扯魔女教派,强者是女性很正常。”Dunnsmiles, the voicesaidmellowly: „Iapprove ofyourjudgment, althoughhere, only thenthatfemale, withoutTerris, butcanmake the necessaryguess, for example, theyhave not stayed together, for example, Terrisis going outto search the person of dying.”邓恩笑了笑,嗓音醇厚地说道:“我赞同你的判断,虽然这里只有那名女性,没有特里斯,但可以做必要的猜测,比如,他们没住在一起,比如,特里斯正外出寻觅将死之人。”Kleinhad not saidagain,placesthreecandles, puts outfull moonessenceanddark redsandalwoodand othermaterials, fastpreparesacrificial altar.克莱恩没再多说,摆放好三根蜡烛,拿出满月精油和深红檀香等材料,快速布置好了祭台。Makes the wall of sealwith the silverdagger, hestartsto„Goddess of the Night, Matriarch of Quiet and Peaceful Sleep”hope, comfortedinside and outsidethishousethoroughly„ghost”.
用银匕制造出密封之墙,他开始向“黑夜女神,安眠和寂静的领主”祈求,彻底安抚了这栋房屋内外的“幽魂”。
What a pityis, the followingspiritismlink, Kleinonlysawtheseto remainspiritualitybefore deathfewpictures, has not obtained the usefulclue.
可惜的是,后续的通灵环节,克莱恩只看见了那些残留灵性生前的少量画面,并未获得有用的线索。Letthese„ghost”sleep soundlyafternighttruly, heended the ceremony, relievedspirituality wall, shakes the headto saytoDunn, LeonardandFrye:
让这些“幽魂”真正安眠于黑夜后,他结束仪式,解除了灵性之墙,对邓恩、伦纳德和弗莱摇头说道:„Hereis destroyedveryseriouslybybacklash that the ceremonyinterrupts, losesimage that the mastersurvived.”
“这里被仪式中断的反噬破坏得很严重,失去了主人残存的影像。”Dunnandoutside areareferred to the staircasesayingunexpectedly:邓恩并不意外地指了指楼梯道:„Wego tosecond floorto lookagain, try.”
“那我们去二楼再找一找,试一试。”„Un.”KleinandLeonardand the othersexpressed the supportimmediately.
“嗯。”克莱恩和伦纳德等人当即表示了赞同。ThreeNight Watcheralong the steps, arrive atsecond floor, searcheseachroomseparately.
三位值夜者沿着阶梯,一路来到二楼,分头搜查起各个房间。Finally, theymeetin a bedroom that has the darkfragrantfloat, saw the women's clothing of disorderlystack, seesbox that openedhas not closed up.
最后,他们会合于一间有暗香漂浮的卧室,看见了凌乱堆放的衣裙,看见了一个个打开未合拢的盒子。„Is this cosmetics?”Dunntook up a boxto smellfrom the dressing table, speaks thoughtlesslyto askone
“这是化妆品?”邓恩从梳妆台上拿起一个盒子闻了闻,随口问了一句„properly speaking, called the skincareproduct, afterGreat Emperor Russell, theywere no longer combinedto call.”Leonardsmilesto investigate the correct path, „captain, as a gentleman, the necessarygeneral knowledgeneedsto understand.”
“准确来说,叫护肤产品,自罗塞尔大帝之后,它们就不再被混杂称呼了。”伦纳德笑笑纠正道,“队长,作为一名绅士,必要的常识还是需要了解的。”Kleinhas not joinedtheirdiscussions, looked atmirror on the dressing table.克莱恩没加入他们的讨论,将目光投向了梳妆台上的镜子。Thismirrorpresented the obviousto split open, has the fragmentto dropabove the rug.
这面镜子出现了明显的开裂,有碎片跌落于地毯之上。„ThatExtraordinaryis a little hurried, destroysinsufficientlythoroughly......”hissinkingsoundto saysuddenly,„couldtry.”
“那位非凡者有点匆忙,破坏得不够彻底……”他忽然沉声说道,“也许可以试一试。”„Gaveyou.”Dunntrustreply.
“交给你了。”邓恩信任地回答。Kleintook the candlefrom the firstfloorfast, lightsinthatshattermirrorfront.克莱恩飞快从一楼将蜡烛拿了上来,点燃在那面破碎的镜子前方。
During the pale yellowcandlelightdrags, heputs outfull moonessenceand otheritem, madespirituality wall.
昏黄的烛光摇曳之中,他又拿出满月精油等物品,制造出了灵性之墙。Completesall these, Kleinstandsis shining upon the mirrorfront of threecandlesplendorglow, read aloudwithHermes languagediscussed:
做完这一切,克莱恩站在映照着三根蜡烛辉芒的镜子前方,用赫密斯语诵念道:„I pray for the night's strength;”
“我祈求黑夜的力量;”„I pray for the strength of the secrets;”
“我祈求隐秘的力量;”„I pray for the Goddess' care;”
“我祈求女神的眷顾;”„Imploredthismirrorto obtain the temporaryreturn to original state, imploresitpresentedhad shone uponover the past month everyone.”
“祈求这面镜子获得短暂的还原,祈求它呈现出过去一个月映照过的所有人。”
......
……Asincantationwere read, inspirituality wallblew the intensetornadosuddenly.
随着咒文一句句被念出,灵性之墙内突然刮起了强烈的旋风。
The fragment of thatmirrorwas curled, oneplacesin the originalpositionpiece by piece.
那面镜子的碎片被卷了起来,一片片安放于原来的位置。Covers entirely the fissure the mirrorto fluctuatedarkbrilliance, asKleinhas caressedwith the hand, immediatelyshone upon a person's shadow, butwas not initsdead aheadKlein.
布满裂痕的镜子浮动起幽暗的光华,随着克莱恩用手抚过,顿时映照出了一道人影,但并非处于它正前方的克莱恩。Thisis a cheekis round, the politedelightfulyoungmiss, perhapsis the mirrordestroyedreason, perhapswasbacklash of ceremonyinterruptaffected the second floorreasonsimilarly, herfacial featureswere quite fuzzy, do not see clearly the concreteappearance.
这是一个脸蛋较圆,温文甜美的年轻姑娘,或许是镜子受过破坏的缘故,也或许是仪式中断的反噬同样影响了二楼的原因,她的五官较为模糊,看不清楚具体的长相。Butthis, Kleinstillthoughteven the opposite partyis inexplicable.
可就算是这样,克莱恩依然觉得对方莫名熟悉。Note1: The quotationfrom, Dingnisheng, «MourningCollection»ten«ThisIsPiece of TranquilEarly morning», the hollow-stroke in Chinese calligraphy, translates.
