„Whatmatter?”Bensonspoke thoughtlesslyto askone.
“什么事情?”班森随口问了一句。MelissaearnestBrotherlooks at, becauseshethought that the Kleintonight'sperformanceis also strange, onlycompared withElizabethandafterwardSelinagood.梅丽莎则认真看着哥哥,因为她觉得克莱恩今晚的表现同样古怪,只比伊丽莎白和后来的赛琳娜好一点。Kleinthought the excuseearly, laughed:克莱恩早想好了说辞,呵呵笑道:„Had some description of documentto present the mistake, butIhave urged the colleagueto arrive at the companyto submittomorrow morning, therefore, reviseseithernowon the wayin the past, eitherwill get up earlytomorrow for at leasta halfhour, without a doubt, Ichose the former.”
“有份文件的某个描述出现了错误,而我已叮嘱同事明早一到公司就提交上去,所以,要么现在顺路过去修改,要么明天早起至少半个小时,毫无疑问,我选择前者。”„Ihave thoughtyouplay cardsinsufficientlywith single-hearted devotion, originallyat the matter of ponderwork.”Bensonclearlybecomes awaresuddenly, at oncesays with a smile, „, I apologize, Ishouldsaylike this,played cardsto helpponder.”
“我一直觉得你打牌不够专心,原来是在思考工作的事情。”班森恍然明悟,旋即笑道,“不,我道歉,我应该这样说,打牌有助于思考。”„Good, wecanwaityour.”Melissatakes back the line of sight of sizing up, lifted the handto reorganizeundernearlotus leaf of mutton legsleeve.
“好的,我们会等你的。”梅丽莎收回打量的视线,抬手整理了下羊腿袖的荷叶边。Becausecrossedearly the service time of having the axleandraillesspublic carriage, after the brother and sisterthreepeoplesaid goodbyeto go out, hasnearbyto hirerented carriage, 2shilling45minutes.
因为早过了有轨和无轨公共马车的运营时间,兄妹三人告辞出门后,只好就近雇佣了出租马车,二苏勒45分钟。„Iheard that eachrented carriagecart driverwill increase pricecarelessly.” After mostmoney that Bensonwill winlove dearlypaidwent out, lowers the voiceto complainone.
“我听说每一位出租马车的车夫都会胡乱加价。”班森将赢来的大部分钱心疼地付了出去后,压低嗓音抱怨了一句。Kleinsmilesto say with a smile:克莱恩笑笑道:„Ithink to accept, nownearly11points.”
“我认为可以接受,现在都快11点了。”„Icrack a joke, mypresentideais, we can actually jointlyhire, withothergueststogether, 45minutescango tomanyplaces.”Bensonlooks atout of the windowto hirepeople of carriageto sayone after another.
“我只是开个玩笑,我现在的想法是,我们其实可以联合雇佣,和其他客人一起,45分钟能到很多地方。”班森望着窗外陆续雇佣着马车的人们道。Iunderstand, the load on one truck...... Kleinis stroking gently the inlayingwhite honeysuckle flowergroove of canepeak:
我懂,拼车嘛……克莱恩摩挲着手杖顶端的镶银花纹道:„Ourno problem, butotherguestshave, Benson, haven't youdiscovered? Theypay great attention totheirimage, highlycares about‚dignity’thismatter, Ithink,thisperhapsis the general character of middle class.”
“我们没有问题,但其他客人有,班森,你没有发现吗?他们都非常注重自身的形象,非常在意‘体面’这件事情,我想,这或许就是中产阶级的共性。”„Un.”Bensonnodsto sayearnestly,„Wood familyalsoimaginesluxuriouslycompared withme, however, the wage of Woodevery week4pounds......, dignifiedperhapsarecertainmiddle class and hairy baboonbiggestdifference.”
“嗯。”班森认真点头道,“伍德家也比我想象得奢侈,然而,老伍德的薪水才每周四镑……呵,体面也许就是某些中产阶级和卷毛狒狒最大的区别。”hairy baboonmove of youannoyedyou...... Kleinnearly unable to bear the happy expression.卷毛狒狒招你惹你了……克莱恩险些没能忍住笑意。Melissahas not joinedtheirdiscussions, sitsto the position, once for a whilesizes upKleinone, slightlylooks athimto be a little scared.梅丽莎没有加入他们的讨论,坐到位置上,时不时打量克莱恩一眼,看得他心里略有点发毛。Faciledouble roundcarriageinpeaceful, on the dimstreetgoesfast, onlyarrived inZoutlan Streetwith12minutes.
轻便的双轮马车在安静的、黯淡的街道上飞快行驶,只用12分钟就抵达了佐特兰街。„Youwait formehere, fiveminutes, overfiveminutes, Iwill not come back.”Klein emphasized that puts ontop hat, with the cane, went down the carriage.
“你们在这里等我,五分钟,不超过五分钟,我就会回来。”克莱恩强调了一遍,戴上礼帽,拿上手杖,走下了马车。Becauseis the computing time, rather than the distance, the horsecart driveralsohas no opinionto the waiting.
因为是计算时间,而非路程,马车夫对等待也没有任何意见。Along the staircaseupward, Kleinarrives atoutsideBlack Thorns Security Company, thump thump thumpsounded the front door.
沿着楼梯往上,克莱恩来到黑荆棘安保公司外面,咚咚咚敲响了大门。Is less than tenseconds, the front dooropens widebackward, throws over the Leonard Mitchell of waistcoatandwearshirtto appearinhisfront.
不到十秒,大门向后敞开,披着马甲、穿着衬衣的伦纳德.米切尔出现于他的面前。„Youdo not need the valueto defendtonight.”Leonardslightlyreveals the surpriseto emphasize.
“你今晚不用值守。”伦纳德略显诧异地强调道。Kleinevery week only need take turns on dutyChanis Gateoneday, othertimecanmaintain the normalwork and restas before, as forevening'sthunderbolt, bylikingnight《Sleepless》are assumed full responsibility.克莱恩每周只需轮值查尼斯门一天,其余时间依旧能保持正常作息,至于晚上的突发事件,由喜欢黑夜的“不眠者”们包揽。Butevery dayonlyrests for 2-3hours, will createto lose hairwith the memorystrengthdeclines......, wheneverthinks ofthese, Kleinwill unable to bearteasingtypeunstated criticismcaptainDunn Smith.
但每天只睡2-3个小时,会造成脱发和记忆力衰退……每当想到这些,克莱恩就会忍不住调侃式地腹诽队长邓恩.史密斯。„Ihave the matterto report.”Hesaidsimply.
“我有事情汇报。”他简单说道。„Has the duty?”Leonardgive away the entranceposition, spoke thoughtlesslyto askone.
“有任务?”伦纳德让出门口的位置,随口问了一句。Kleinjustwalked into the reception hall, seesDunnto throw over the blackwindproof coatto come out, greypupilprofundityas always.克莱恩刚走入接待厅,就看见邓恩披着黑色风衣出来,灰眸一如既往的幽深。„captain, Icame across an unusualevent.”
“队长,我遇到了一件超凡事件。”„Special details.”Dunnaskeddirectly.
“具体情况。”邓恩直接问道。Kleinsaid the beforehandmatterandownprocessingfrom beginning to end:克莱恩将之前的事情和自身的处理原原本本说了一遍:„......, therefore, Ithink it is necessary to begin to investigatetoHaynes Vincent.”
“……所以,我认为有必要对海纳斯.凡森特展开调查。”Hewasthinks the evilthing that at that time, since„magical mirrordivination”invitedhas not created the massacre, but alsowithoutwas obtainedclue of extreme dangerbyoneself, thatindicated that the opposite partyprobablyalsorequired the time, is not willingto regain consciousnessorcontrolSelinaahead of time, therefore, without the direct exposureowngoal, the evilthingfirstwill definitely chooseto wait and see, insuchsituation, Elizabethdeceived the bedroomentranceSelinais not the toodifficultmatter.
他当时是认为既然“魔镜占卜”请来的邪恶之物还没有制造惨案,还没有让自己得到极端危险的提示,那就表明对方可能还需要时间,不愿意提前苏醒或是控制住赛琳娜,所以,只要没直接暴露出自身的目的,邪恶之物肯定会优先选择观望,这样的情况下,伊丽莎白将赛琳娜骗到卧室门口不是什么太困难的事情。„Youprocessverywell, held the evil spiritnot to arrivethoroughly, the time of completelynot having taken possession.”Dunnlightly nodded and said, „the followinginvestigationgivesus, youcango backrest.”
“你处理得很好,抓住了恶灵还未彻底降临,还未完全附身的时机。”邓恩轻轻颔首道,“接下来的调查就交给我们,你可以回去休息了。”Kleinrelaxed, laughed:克莱恩松了口气,呵呵笑道:„Ialsothink that captainyouwill takemyenteringteamdutythismatter, makingmecomplete.”
“我还以为队长你会将这件事情作为我的入队任务,让我独自一人去完成。”
The incantation that provideslooking fromElizabeth, Haynes Vincenthascertainrisk......
从伊丽莎白提供的咒文看,海纳斯.凡森特具有一定的危险性……„This is becauseyourenteringteamdutyhas.”SloppyoptionalLeonardsaid with a smileinsidelightly.
“这是因为你的入队任务已经有了。”散漫随意的伦纳德在旁边轻笑道。„What?”Kleinhas a scare.
“什么?”克莱恩吓了一跳。
The Dunncorners of the mouthgo up, the voicealcohol and placeexplained:邓恩嘴角上翘,嗓音醇和地解释道:„Around 7 : 00 pmtime, wereceive the case that a police stationturned around, the preliminaryconfirmationhas no danger, is not urgent, thereforeplanned that will makeyoucompletetomorrowalone.”
“晚上 7 点多的时候,我们接收了一起警察局转过来的案子,初步确认没什么危险,也不紧迫,所以打算让你明天独自去完成。”„Ok, do not ask that iswhatcase, tonightsleepswell, yourrestdaymovedtoTuesdayoron Wednesday.”
“好了,不要问是什么案子,今晚好好睡一觉,你的休息日挪到周二或者周三。”captain, your, Icannot fall asleepto be good...... . Moreover, on Mondayafternoonis the Tarot Meetingdate...... could it be thatmustgiveJustice and Hanged Manspiral springin advancepostpones„news”? Kleinshakes the head the forced smile, said goodbyeto leave.队长,你这样,我更睡不着好不好……而且,周一下午是塔罗聚会的日期……难道要预先给“正义”和“倒吊人”发条推迟“消息”?克莱恩摇头苦笑,告辞离开。Had/Left the stairway, hesomedetectedsuddenly,looks uptothatcarriage that oneselfhired, sees onlyMelissato be away from the window, calmlytakes a look at itself.
出了楼梯口,他忽有察觉,抬头望向了自家雇佣的那辆马车,只见梅丽莎正隔着窗户,静静打量自己。
The line of sightcontact, Melissaoneturns head, sitsstraight.
视线接触,梅丽莎一下扭头,端正坐好。
The Kleincorners of the mouthmoved slightly, pretend anything not to happen had stepped onto the carriage.克莱恩嘴角微动,装作什么事情都没有发生过般走上了马车。Undercrimsonmoon and purenighttime sky, the double roundcarriagevividlywent, passed throughone after another street.
绯红的月亮和纯净的夜空之下,双轮马车轻快行驶,穿过了一条又一条街道。Goes home, KleinmakesBensonfirsttake a bath, oneselfarrive at the Melissabedroomentrance, lifted the handto knocktwo.
回到家中,克莱恩让班森先去洗澡,自己来到梅丽莎卧室门口,抬手敲了两下。Was planning that Melissa of anotherwashroomopens the door, the doubtsare looking at the Elder Brother.
正打算去另一个盥洗室的梅丽莎吱呀开门,疑惑地望着哥哥。„Melissa, whatmatter do youhave to ask? Iknow that youhave.”Kleinopens the mouthto saydirectly.
“梅丽莎,你有什么事情想问吗?我知道的,你有。”克莱恩直接开口道。Alwaysdo not observein secret......
不要总是暗中观察……
The Melissalipopening and closingseveral, frowned saying:梅丽莎嘴唇翕动了几下,微皱眉头道:„Klein, actually did youmakewhattoElizabeth? Ifelt that sheisn't very right?”
“克莱恩,你究竟对伊丽莎白做了什么?我感觉她很不对劲?”„Also, Selinaafterwardalsobecameverystrange.”
“还有,赛琳娜后来也变得非常奇怪。”Kleinis preparedto ask backearly:克莱恩早有准备地反问道:„Youknow that ElizabethandSelinaare the mysticismamateurs?”
“你知道伊丽莎白和赛琳娜是神秘学爱好者吗?”„...... Knows, butIdo not like, Ido not think that inthisworldhas anything unable to understand.”Melissagawkedstaring, repliedearnestly, „alldid not understand,was only the knowledge that becausewemasteredwere not enough.”
“……知道,但我不喜欢,我不认为这个世界上有什么事情是无法理解的。”梅丽莎愣了愣,认真回答道,“所有的不理解,都只是因为我们掌握的知识还不够多。”„Un, Ialsothink.”Kleinechoedoneafraid.
“嗯,我也是这么认为的。”克莱恩心虚地附和了一句。OnceItrulythink that untilbeing successful......
曾经我确实是这么认为的,直到作死成功……Hecoughedlightlytwo , to continue saying:
他轻咳了两声,继续说道:„mysticismcontainsHermes language, thiswas the special-purposewriting of ancientsacrificial offeringandpray, Elizabethknows that Iexcelled atthisaspect, after allthiswas the domain of historian, thereforeconsulted the correspondingwords and concretemeanings of severalpronunciationtome.”
“神秘学包含赫密斯文,这是古代祭祀和祈祷的专用文字,伊丽莎白知道我擅长这方面,呵,毕竟这是历史学家的领域,所以向我请教了几个发音的对应单词和具体意思。”
The Melissaslight nod , indicating to accepttoelder brother'sexplanation, becauseconformed toherunderstandingofboth sides.梅丽莎微微点头,对哥哥的这个解释表示接受,因为符合她对双方的了解。„Whyafterwardbecameas forElizabethandSelinastrange, I not clearspecificreason.” After Kleinfirstpretends non-involvement itselfsaid,„Icanguess.”
“至于伊丽莎白和赛琳娜后来为什么会变得古怪,我并不清楚具体的原因。”克莱恩先撇清自己后说道,“不过我可以猜一猜。”„Youguess obtained?” The Melissasurpriseblurts.
“你猜得到?”梅丽莎诧异脱口。Kleinlifted the handto poke the mouth saying:克莱恩抬手杵了杵嘴巴道:„Iconsultmycontentto guessfromElizabeththatseveralHermes language that shesaidare relatedwithdivination, is relatedwithsomeevilsacrificial offeringobjects, un, Selina conducts magical mirrordivinationtime, read aloudhas readHermes language?”
“我是从伊丽莎白请教我的内容来猜测的,她说的那几个赫密斯文与占卜有关,与一些邪恶的祭祀对象有关,嗯,赛琳娜进行魔镜占卜的时候,是不是诵念过赫密斯文?”Hementionedthismatteron own initiative, after toletyounger sister, vigilantsimilarmatter, ifcanbe far away fromSelinaandElizabeth, thatwas better.
他主动提到这件事情,就是为了让妹妹以后警惕类似的事情,要是能远离赛琳娜和伊丽莎白,那就更好了。„Is......”Melissahesitatesis replying, „IthinkIunderstandElizabethandSelinastrange......”
“是的……”梅丽莎迟疑着回答道,“我想我明白伊丽莎白和赛琳娜的古怪了……”At this time, Kleinasked backintentionally:
这时,克莱恩故意反问道:„BecauseSelinamagical mirrordivinationinvolvesevilly, the illegalbelief, Elizabethclarifiesafterherecorresponds the Hermes languageconcretemeaning, looked for the opportunityaccusationopposite party, corrected the mistake of opposite party?”
“因为赛琳娜的魔镜占卜涉及到邪恶的、非法的信仰,伊丽莎白从我这里弄清楚对应赫密斯文的具体含义后,找了机会指责对方,纠正了对方的错误?”„Ithink that isthis.”Melissadoes not doubttothisconclusion, becauseissheinfers.
“我认为是这样的。”梅丽莎对这个结论毫不怀疑,因为是她自己推理出来的。Seesowninductionto be effective, Kleinrelaxedsaid:
见自己的诱导见效,克莱恩松了口气道:„Youlater must warnSelina, letsher the proper way that returns to believe.”
“你以后也要多告诫赛琳娜,让她回到信仰的正途上来。”Saidthese wordstime, hehadpastormodel/patternto selectvery muchfourin the chest.
说这句话的时候,他很有牧师范地在胸口点了四下。„Un, mymeeting!”Melissarepliedresolutely.
“嗯,我会的!”梅丽莎语气坚定地回答。„Also, ourspeculations, the content that I said that toldElizabethandSelina, Icomplied withElizabethnot to tellyou.”Kleinfinallyemphasized.
“还有,不要把我们的推测,不要把我说的内容,告诉伊丽莎白和赛琳娜,我原本答应过伊丽莎白不告诉你的。”克莱恩最后强调道。„Un.”Melissanodsdexterously.
“嗯。”梅丽莎轻巧地点头。............
…………Monday8 : 00 am, Black Thorns Security Company.
周一上午 8 点,黑荆棘安保公司。Kleintakes down the hat, has greetedwithRoseanneandBright, exchanges greetings the weather, entered the captainDunn Smithoffice.克莱恩取下帽子,和罗珊、布莱特打过招呼,寒暄完天气,就进入了队长邓恩.史密斯的办公室。Heshoves open the door, catches the eyeto look, suddenlyhas a scare, because the Dunncomplexionis quite pale, greypupilalsoslightlyobviouslymuddy, lostin the pastprofundity.
他推开房门,抬眼望去,忽然吓了一跳,因为邓恩的脸色相当苍白,灰眸也略显浑浊,失去了往常的幽深。„what happened? Haynes Vincent?”Kleinsurprisedlyandaskedkindly.
“出了什么事情吗?海纳斯.凡森特?”克莱恩又惊讶又关切地问道。Dunnrubbed the forehead, sipped a coffee, smiles bitterlywas saying:邓恩揉了揉额头,抿了口咖啡,苦笑着说道:„Haynes Vincentdied.”
“海纳斯.凡森特死了。”„Was killedbywhomahead of time?”Kleintakes the cane, sitstoDunnopposite.
“被谁提前杀了?”克莱恩拿着手杖,坐到邓恩对面。Dunndoes not have the direct reaction, sighed:邓恩没有直接回答,叹了口气道:„IandLeonardlooked forHaynes Vincentlast night, becausehehas usually not displayed the unusualindication, in the family/homedoes not have the strangeplace, thereforeIdecidefirstto enterhisdreamlandto look for the clue.”
“我和伦纳德昨晚就去找了海纳斯.凡森特,因为他平时没表现出异常的征兆,家里也没有古怪的地方,所以我决定先进入他的梦境寻找线索。”„Inhisdreamland, inhisdreamland......”
“在他的梦境里,在他的梦境里……”Dunnrepeatedtwo, the visiondid not revealto dreadvoluntarilysaid:邓恩重复了两遍,目光不自觉流露出畏惧地说道:„Inhisdreamland, Isawcrucifix, hugecrucifix, supportedcompletelyskycrucifix, onthiscrucifix, the blacknailis sewing a stark nakedman, histwoarmsopened, the both feet on, the headlikehangingfalldangled, the bodyhasbloodstainone after another.”
“在他的梦境里,我看见了一个十字架,巨大的十字架,撑满了天空的十字架,在这十字架上面,黑色铁钉钉着一个赤身裸体的男人,他两臂张开,双脚在上,头部如同吊坠般垂下,身体有着一道又一道的血渍。”„Justsawsuchpicture, Ifainted, left the Haynes Vincentdreamland, whenIwake up, Leonardtoldme, Haynesdiedin the sleep.”
“刚看到这样的画面,我就晕了过去,离开了海纳斯.凡森特的梦境,等我醒来,伦纳德告诉我,海纳斯在睡梦中死亡了。”„Hugecrucifix, hangs upside downTrue Creator that the man of whole bodybloodstain...... thisandseveralsecretorganizationsbelieves is a bit like, butalso has greatlyis different......”Kleindoubtsspeculationto say.
“巨大十字架,倒吊的、浑身血渍的男人……这和几个隐秘组织信奉的真实造物主有点像,但又有很大不同……”克莱恩疑惑地推测道。Believes in the secretorganization of True Creator is mainly several that the recent200-300yearspresent, for exampleAurora Union, for exampleIron Blood Cross Union, but1000for many years, similarimagenevervanishedbefore.
信奉真实造物主的隐秘组织主要是最近200-300年才出现的几个,比如极光会,比如铁血十字团,但之前一千多年来,类似的形象从未消失。Dunnrubbed the foreheadagain:邓恩再次揉了揉额头:„After us , the extended sessionfollows up, youfirstcompleteyourenteringteamtasknow.”
“我们后续会跟进的,你现在先去完成你的入队任务。”
