第十二章 弥漫的怒意
As several bodies fell in succession, the girl responsible for communication beside Queen Rose, on the other side of Yang Zicang’s Mental Link, immediately covered her mouth and screamed.
见到几道躯体前后倒下，杨子藏的心灵链接对面，玫瑰女王身边负责通讯的女孩瞬间捂嘴尖叫起来。
{Ah! You’re killing people.}
{啊！你们在杀人。}
Yang Zicang pinched his fist, coughed twice lightly, nodded, and said in his mind:
杨子藏捏拳捂嘴轻微咳嗽了两声，点点头，于心中道：
[These people in this team can steal others’ models. You should know that by now.]
[这个团队之人，他们能偷走别人的模型，你现在应该知道了吧。]
The girl on the other side fell silent. Here, even the most naive understood that certain things could only be washed away with blood.
那边的女孩子顿时不说话了。在这里，再单纯的人都晓得，某些事情必须由鲜血才能洗刷。
The surrounding noise persisted as several figures tried to weave through the crowd to escape, stirring up chaos.
周围的喧闹声不断，几道身影正在穿过人群想要逃离，惹起骚乱。
“He’s also from the Shi Qian team.”
“他也是时迁团队。”
“And that one! I saw him—he came with that guy surnamed Li.”
“还有他！这个人我看到了，他跟那个姓李的一起来的。”
Two more people were grabbed and shoved to the front of the human wall.
又有两人被抓住扭送到人墙之前。
“I—we’re not!” stammered one man, whose accent wasn’t very authentic, in panic.
“我，我们不是。”这个口音不怎么地道的人惊慌道。
Thud!
噗！
As a head hit the ground instantly, the other man trembled in fear and said:
见到人头瞬间跌落在地，另一人恐惧地颤抖着道：
“Wait, hold on! I’ll provide clues—clues about the others! I haven’t done anything yet.”
“等、等下，我提供线索！另外几人的线索！我什么都还没干。”
Yang Zicang said, “Tell me everything you know, and you’ll be spared.”
杨子藏道，“把你知道的都说出来，免你一死。”
“Chu Jun. All of tonight was orchestrated by Chu Jun. He used his ability to suggest that Zhang Xian, the shed owner here, hold this gathering under the guise of a memorial ceremony—both a memorial and a celebration. It also gave an excuse to invite the major clients.”
“楚骏，今晚这一切都是楚骏一手策划的。他用能力暗示了这里的张显棚主以祭奠为名来邀请大伙，即使祭奠也是庆功。同时有借口邀请大甲方的人。”
“What!”
“什么！”
Zhang Xian, who had survived by stepping out to toast drinks, stood dumbfounded.
在外面敬酒而逃过一劫的张显呆滞。
“Suggestion ability? Tell me more.”
“暗示能力？详细说说。”
“Yes, it’s a modeling ability that makes people follow Chu Jun’s orders. Although it doesn’t always work, the success rate is quite high.”
“是，是一种模型能力，可以让人按照楚骏的话去做事，虽然不一定次次成功，但概率还是很大的。”
A chilling sense of dread rose in Yang Zicang’s heart, and he finally understood where the sudden impulse he felt at the dinner table had come from.
一股阴寒后怕之气在杨子藏的心中浮起，他已经明白了为什么方才在酒桌上，那突然的冲动感来自哪里了。
Zhang Xian and the other campsite leaders responsible for organizing the gathering were all terrified.
张显等几名负责组织这次聚会的棚主们都心惊恐惧不已。
However, this also cleared them of suspicion.
不过这也洗刷了他们的疑点。
The captured man spoke with a tremble in his voice:
被抓住的这人带着颤音道：
“Many people were put under suggestion by Chu Jun, and Chu Jun’s ‘suggestion’ ability was also stolen.”
“好多人都是被楚骏给进行暗示了，而且楚骏的‘暗示’也是偷来的。”
Wow! The crowd erupted in uproar. This was absolutely terrifying.
哗！一片哗然。这真是太恐怖了。
The man continued:
这人继续道：
“And on the way here, I also heard another member of the Shiqian organization, pfft, another one named Li Shangxiang, say that once he got Chu Jun’s psychological suggestion ability, he would go to Rose Creek to subdue those beauties and make them all madly in love with him.”
“而且，我在来的路上还听到另一位时迁大人，呸，另一位李尚响说，等他拿到楚骏的心理暗示能力，就要去玫瑰溪收了那群美女。让她们都疯狂爱上自己。”
The woman at the other end of the sensory image was momentarily stunned. Then he continued.
感应画面另一端那位女士瞬间呆了下。只听声音继续传来。
“He said he dreams every night of being in bed battling the Rose Queen… you know, doing it.”
“他说他做梦都和玫瑰女王在床上大战…嗯，在那啥。”
Yang Zicang’s brow twitched. Another Li Shangxiang?
杨子藏眉毛抖了抖，另一位李尚响？
The people erupted in noise around him.
周围人一片闹嚷。
“Damn! I’ve never met the Rose Queen, but I’ve heard that woman is gorgeous—graceful and shapely, with legs as tender as can be.”
“靠！玫瑰女王虽然我没见过，但听说那娘们美啊！婀娜多姿，双腿嫩得不行。”
“The Shiqian team is setting their sights on the Rose Queen? Gah, they’re chasing after all the beauties there!”
“时迁团队还打玫瑰女王的主意？我…淦，他在打那里所有美女的主意！”
{Yang Zicang, shut him up! Ah~ Sister Rose, Yang Zicang, Sister Rose says kill him!}
{杨子藏，让他住嘴！啊~玫瑰姐，杨子藏，玫瑰姐说杀了他！}
Yang Zicang quickly severed the Mental Link.
杨子藏赶紧断掉了心灵链接。
The girl’s link tried to reconnect, but Yang Zicang hastily picked a random Mental Link to connect with, to ease the awkwardness of facing her directly.
那女孩的链接又链接了过来，不过杨子藏赶紧随便选了个心灵链接连了下，以缓解直面尴尬。
{Oh my god, it’s the great Zicang, finally connected to you. I adore you so much, can you invest a bit for me? Even just some trash will do.}
{天啊，是子藏大神，终于连上你了，我好崇拜你啊，能给我投资点吗？随便给点破烂也行。}
The link was cut off.
链接断掉。
A group of people was bustling around the bloodstains, racing to carve the area into an isolated patch.
一群人在血迹周围忙活着，他们争先恐后的将那一团挖成孤岛。
“What other information is there? Keep talking.”
“还有什么信息，继续说。”
Without Yang Zicang and his crew urging him on, someone was already dragging that guy, forcing him to divulge more information about Shi Qian.
不用杨子藏几人催促，自然有人拽着那家伙，逼他透露更多时迁的信息。
“A few days ago, Major Client’s move brought out many unknown but powerful models in the Lost Frequency Land. The Shi Qian team already made initial assignments. The Dragon King’s precious mental ability goes to the Third Master, the seductive Young Lady from Qushui Shed District’s hypnosis healing ability goes to the Fifth Master…”
“前几天大甲方的行动，让失频之地出现好多不出名的厉害模型。时迁们都已初步做过分配。黑龙王的珍贵念能力归三大人，曲水棚区那位美女的催眠治疗能力归五号大人…”
The crowd was already seething with anger.
人群已经愤怒不止了。
“So despicable!”
“好歹毒！”
“Thank goodness my ability isn’t very strong, not among the top tier,” someone said with relief.
“还好我的能力不算很厉害，不是最顶尖那一批。”有人庆幸。
The man continued, “Even those non-top-tier models, they plan to use suggestive abilities to win them over one by one, making them capable members of the team.”
这人继续道：“哪怕那些非顶尖模型，他们也打算利用暗示能力一一收服，成为团队的得力干将。”
“Pfft!” Some people who just took a sip of wine to calm their nerves instantly spat it out.
“噗！”刚才喝两口酒打算压惊的某些人，顿时一口酒喷出。
“Even if they can’t fully tame it, when they encounter a particularly interesting model ability, they can still steal it, turn it into an Ability Sphere for trading, and give us lower-level members something to swap out.”
“哪怕不能完全收服，遇到比较有意思的模型能力，他们也可以偷走，制成的能力球进行交易，给我们这些低级成员替换。”
“Do they intend to sell us off like pigs?”
“他们想将我们当猪仔卖吗！”
Everyone was unsettled.
所有人都不淡定了。
The events here had already garnered attention from all sides; the links spread layer by layer, and now they had almost reached most of the Lost Frequency Land.
这里发生的事早已被各处所关注，链接层层扩散出去去，现在几乎已经遍布失频之地大半地方。
Through the mental links of the few red-model individuals here, many people, including the Rose Queen, had already heard these words, sending chills down the spines of countless others.
通过这儿少数红色模型之人的心灵链接，包括玫瑰女王在内的很多人已经听到了这些话，无数人后脊发凉。
……
……
Black Dragon Mountain Settlement.
黑龙山聚集地。
“Shi Qian!”
“时迁！”
Bang! The sturdy man’s slap almost shattered the tree trunk beside him.
嘭！壮实的大汉一巴掌差点拍碎身旁大树树干。
Minutes ago, the Black Dragon King, who had been digging and clearing debris from a house, saw someone suddenly run up in a panic, shouting that there was huge news: Yang Zicang had almost been ambushed.
几分钟前，本在挖地清理房屋碎块的黑龙王见着人突然慌张跑来，说有特大消息，杨子藏差点遭遇暗算。
Less than three minutes into the mental link feed, still coveting the secret technique and sneering that Yang Zicang deserved it, the Black Dragon King erupted in fury.
进入心灵链接画面不到三分钟，还在眼馋秘技和笑话杨子藏活该的黑龙王顿时暴怒。
“Shi Qian’s team, I’ll tear you limb from limb!”
“时迁团队，老子要将你们千刀万剐！”
……
……
Inside a derelict small city with collapsed walls, circled by a river, an elegant, ancient palace stood tall amid the ruins.
被河水围绕的城墙塌陷的破败小城池内，典雅古老宫殿耸立在废墟中。
In the spacious hall of Rose Creek, it was just dinner time.
玫瑰溪的宽大大殿内，正直晚饭时间。
The voluptuous, beautiful woman seated at the center of the long dining table clamped her mouth shut. The rims of her ears flushed red-hot, her chest rose and fell slowly, and her eyes were half-veiled like silken threads, daring not to meet the gazes of the others on either side of the table.
坐在长长餐桌正中的丰腴美貌女子紧紧闭着嘴，她的耳根红红的，胸膛缓缓起伏，眼眸如丝半掩着不敢看长桌两侧的众人。
“Sister Rose.” The girl who had originally been asking Yang Zicang for him looked at the woman innocently.
“玫瑰姐姐。”本来是帮他问杨子藏的女孩子无辜的看着女人。
“It’s okay, even if you didn’t tell me, Big Sister has already heard it.” Beside her, another young woman linked to the Red Model over there had an even redder face than the Rose Queen’s.
“没事，你不说，大姐都已经听到了。”在她旁边，另一位与那边的红模型链接的少女的脸比玫瑰女王的还红。
“Shi Qian.” Xu Aiyuan gritted her silver teeth and muttered softly.
“时迁。”徐爱媛银牙切齿的咬着低低出声。
Without her needing to give an order, the crowd eating on both sides of the long joint table spanning the hall had already darkened their faces, calling friends and companions and sharpening their weapons.
不用她吩咐，横跨大殿的拼接长桌旁，两边吃着食物的人群已经沉着脸呼朋唤友，磨刀霍霍。
“How dare they set their sights on Miss Aiyuan.”
“敢打爱媛小姐的主意。”
“I’ll make them move something else.”
“我要让他们迁走点别的东西。”
……
……
Qushui Shed Area.
曲水棚区。
The female shed owner, who had always been as gentle as water, now looked at the scene in the Mental Link with a face as cold as ice. Those around her could vaguely see steam rising from her head, as if something was scorching.
一直温婉如水的女棚主此刻面若寒冰的看着心灵链接中的画面，周围的人似乎隐隐见到她头上冒出的雾气，仿佛有什么烧焦了。
……
……
Inside the Desolate Chariot.
荒车之中。
The Desolate Lord scrambled out of the bronze chariot, dumping a bag of Ability Spheres clattering into a deep pit he had shaken open with the earthquake.
荒主屁滚尿流地爬出青铜车，把一袋能力球哗啦啦倒入地震震出来的深坑里。
“Boss.”
“老大。”
The people around gathered around, and the Desolate Lord turned his head to look, “Get lost, all of you get lost. You’re all Shi Qian’s people!”
周围的人聚集过来，荒主转头看去，“滚，你们都滚，你们都是时迁的人！”
Everyone exchanged glances. In the end, no one dared to defy his words, and they filed out from beside him, jumped off the chariot, and watched him.
众人面面相觑，最后没人敢忤逆他说的话，纷纷从身旁走出跳下车望着他。
“Go to hell, you fucking beasts. No wonder Ming Ying couldn’t be contacted for so long, but a Wu Ying shows up instead. Go fuck yourself.”
“去死吧，草拟马的畜生，难怪冥影这么久联系不到，却跑出来个无影，我去你大爷的。”
He cursed loudly at the Ability Spheres in the pit, no longer daring to touch a single one in the bag, afraid that if he so much as brushed against one, his own Model would vanish.
他对着坑洞内的能力球们破口大骂，袋子里的能力球他已经一个都不敢碰，生怕万一摸一下自己的模型就没了。
In front of the chariot, the bronze sculpture Warrior sitting on the bronze chariot slowly turned his head.
车前，坐在青铜车上的青铜雕塑战士缓缓转过头。
{Why the fury.}
{何以震怒。}
“Charioteer, this thing can actually steal Models! Isn’t that fatal?! Quick, we need to move—those people from Shiqian know we’re here.”
“御夫啊，这玩意儿竟然能偷走模型！这不是要人老命吗！快，我们换个地方，时迁那些人知道我们在这里。”
{Hmm… Do you mean it almost killed your left-hand man, or something else.}
{嗯…是差点换位车左的意思吗。}
The bronze man stood up and gripped the chariot railing; the two bronze horses in front stepped forward, exiting the collapsed cave and then racing swiftly across the desolate plain, kicking up a trail of dust in the gathering darkness.
青铜人起身扶住战车栏杆，前方两匹青铜马迈开步伐，从塌陷山洞出来，随后快速行驶在荒原之上，在逐渐到来的黑暗中带起一抹烟尘。
……
……
Many shelter zones had already received this explosive news.
很多棚区都收到了这个劲爆消息。
They already knew that there were several identical people, all of them named Li Shangxiang.
他们已经知道，那是好几个长得一样的人，他们都叫做李尚响。
……
……
Wuying was cornered with nowhere to escape. He wanted to seek help from the other Li Shangxiangs, to invest in heading to the mysterious place where many had vanished—perhaps there he might find a slim chance at survival.
无影已无处可逃，他想寻求其它几位李尚响的帮助，给自己投资前往那很多人消失后前往的神秘之地，或许还有一线生机。
However, the four Li Shangxiangs were now in no position to save themselves; their deaths were merely a countdown.
可四名李尚响此刻已经自身难保，死亡只是倒计时而已。
{Yang Zicang, I’m sorry. Spare me.}
{杨子藏，对不起，放我一条生路。}
Silk threads flickered, and Wuying’s broken line shot toward him.
丝线闪动，无影的折线射来。
{If you capture one of the Li Shangxiangs alive, I am willing to hand over my Invisibility ability.}
{若你们活捉一个李尚响，我愿意交出隐身能力。}
Yang Zicang cast a cold, indifferent gaze at the trench the crowd had dug into the ground; they were pouring buckets of boiling water and hot oil into it, while large fires blazed all around.
杨子藏冷漠无情的看向地上众人挖掘出的沟壑，他们正在将一桶桶开水与热油倒入其中，周围烧起大火。
Some people had already brought iron buckets, while others fetched items like iron plates.
有人已经拿来了铁桶，还有人拿来了铁板等东西。
Yang Zicang remained completely silent.
杨子藏一句话都未讲。
The slightly feverish young man sat on the left side of the square, watching the bustling crowd with a domineering posture.
略微开始发烧的青年坐在广场的左侧，大马横刀般看着那里忙活的众人。
The link broke.
链接断掉。
But soon, another thread shot toward Boboli.
但很快又一道丝线射向波波利。
Every time I checked before posting, I felt there were no typos. But as soon as I sent it out and looked again, I spotted them immediately. It almost blinded me.
每次发之前检查都感觉没啥错字。一发出去，再看的时候，一眼就看到错字了。眼睛都快瞎了。
