第九十二章 拼图与校正 -2
“Thank you for the comfort…” Qin Meng recalled his past experience. “No one was willing to take me into those intertwined spaces. Not until someone told me to collect the scenes of others.”
“谢谢你的安慰…”秦蒙回忆着之前的经历：“没有谁愿意带着我进那些交错空间。直到有人让我收纳还有人的幕景。”
Isn’t that… murder?
那不是…杀人吗？
“They’d use frequency crystals to find the passages, but instead of entering, they’d wait for the victims to go in. Then they’d make me ambush those who entered the scenes first and ‘devour’ their timelines.”
“他们运用频晶找到通道后，却不进入，而是等受害者进去。再让我偷袭那些先进入幕景的人，‘吃掉’他们的时序。”
Qin Meng said painfully:
秦蒙痛苦道：
“If I didn’t obey, they’d beat me to the brink of death, until I was in agony. I couldn’t take it anymore, so I devoured them.”
“如果我不照做，就会殴打我，让我濒死，让我痛不欲生。我受够了，于是我吞掉了他们。”
Suddenly, land pieces burst out from beneath Qin Meng’s feet in all directions—like a vivid scroll.
秦蒙脚下突然如真实画卷般向四面八方喷涌出更多的地块。
[I sense that excess terrain is creating itself. It’s being born.]
[我感受到了多余的地形正在诞生。]
Yang Zicang could read Qiu Mneng’s gaze—a look of determination, as if he was walking toward his death.
杨子藏感受到了秦蒙眼中的决绝，仿佛在赴死般。
“You don’t have to make that choice,” Yang Zicang shouted quickly. “Stop, Qin Meng!”
“你完全没必要做那种决定，快停下，秦蒙！”
Everyone suddenly heard a voice in their minds—not the model’s, but another person’s.
大家突然听到了一道心念之声，那不是模型的声音，而是另一个人。
{Interesting. I thought I’d be trapped here forever. I didn’t expect the master of this cage to be the one that couldn’t hold on first.}
{有趣，我还以为我会坐牢很久，没想到先撑不下去的，是这座囚笼的主人。}
It was an unknown language, yet one could understand it directly.
这是未知的语言，却能直接听懂。
Wang Chong’s eyes went wide. Zuo Feixian cautiously took a step back, looked around, then picked up a stone from the ground and gripped it tightly as a weapon.
王翀的眼睛睁圆，左非闲小心翼翼地往后退了步，左右看了看，从地上捡起块石头握在手中当作武器。
The feeling was so familiar. Yang Zicang looked into the distance.
这感觉太熟悉了，杨子藏看向远方。
“Not good, everyone, run!”
“不好，大家快跑。”
Beneath a hillside that flickered like a scene backdrop in the distance, a nerve-wracking pressure began to surge forth.
只见远方出现的一座幕景的山坡下，冒出让人神经紧绷的威压。
There, a dark red, scene-like patch of earth tried to surface several times but was suppressed by some unknown force.
那里有个暗红色的幕景地块数次想要浮现而出，却又被某种力量压制。
“That’s it.”
“就是它了。”
Qin Meng said with a grim look: “Too many scenes pieced together into a bizarre terrain. Inside it, a moonlit monster was born. So I can’t release it. I can only constantly reinforce the rank to increase the storage time and seal it away. But now, I can no longer suppress it.”
秦蒙惨然道：“太多的幕景拼凑出怪异的地形，它里面诞生了月影怪物。所以我没办法把它放出来，只能不断强化格位，增加收纳时间将它封印，但现在我已经没办法压制它了。”
All color drained from heaven and earth. Wang Chong and the others scrambled to run outside.
天地黯然失色，王翀几人慌乱往外跑去。
From the chaos of glittering fragments, grasslands, forests, rivers, small lakes, a patch of snow, and a semi-translucent camp by the foot of the mountain gradually took form and solidified.
由混沌逐渐显形的草原、森林、河流、小型湖泊，还有一片雪地，以及那片山下的半透明营地。
In the camp lay many bones: those of beasts and humans, twisted, mummified, hanged, made into emergency rations…
营地中很多骸骨，生物的，人类的，扭曲的，风干的，吊着的、做成储备粮的…
Boom! A stretch of the ground sank downward.
轰隆！那块地面往下一沉。
Everyone looked around. Outside this newly appeared region, it became a hazy darkness, as if cut off from the outside world, forming a space of staggering, shattered layers through which sight could just pierce.
大家向四周看去，这片多出来的区域外成为迷蒙的黑暗之色，仿佛与外界隔绝，形成了个能穿透视线的交错空间。
“They won’t die immediately.”
“他们不会立即死去。”
Qin Meng bent over in pain, his whole body trembling.
秦蒙痛苦的弯着腰，浑身颤栗。
“They struggle to survive inside my ‘body’.”
“他们在我‘体内’挣扎求生。”
The model on his chest flickered wildly, countless fine lines intertwining on the illusory ground beneath.
他胸前的模型疯狂闪烁，道道细密线条交织在那块带着虚幻之意的地面上。
“Yet they can only despair…”
“却只能绝望…”
A blurry figure emerged from the camp in the distance.
一道朦胧身影自远方营地中出现。
The humanoid monster was wreathed in black mist, its entire being radiating an oppressive aura like a humanoid missile on the verge of explosion at any moment.
人形怪物浑身冒着黑雾，周身散发着强烈的压迫气息，仿佛随时都可能爆炸的人形导弹。
{Finally, I’m free—serving up delicious food as soon as I come out, that’s not half bad.}
{终于要解脱了，一出来就能享受到美味的食物，可真不赖呢。}
Its nails, long and sharp like steel forks, pointed toward YangZicang from afar.
它的指甲修长如钢叉，远远看着这边的杨子藏。
……
……
YangZicang’s face darkened as he stared gravely at the figure; the model on his chest extended toward Moli in the Hub Town but failed to connect.
脸色难看的杨子藏凝重的看着那道身影，胸前模型展开射向枢纽镇内的莫里，但却未联通。
At this early hour, Moli and Boppoli were probably still asleep.
这个时候还是清晨，莫里和波波利那俩家伙应该还在睡觉。
YangZicang gazed at the dark silhouette, “That’s a humanoid creature born only within the Interspace.”
杨子藏望向那个人形黑影，“是交错地内才会诞生的人形生物。”
{So there’s this much terrain after all—which means this place is still part of an Interspace.}
{有这么多地形啊，所以这里，依旧算是交错空间。}
Suddenly, on the surface of the shadow creature, all the darkness retracted into its body, its form swelling again and emitting a crimson-tinted dark mist that seemed two shades redder.
突然，月影怪物的身体表面，所有黑影往他体内一缩，体型就又变大了圈，并重新冒出更红艳两分的暗雾。
[The Moon-shadow-level opponent has adjusted its strength.]
[月影级对手修正了实力。]
{So you’re the new strongest one.}
{你就是新的最强者。}
The monster stared at Yang Zicang, its claws swiped, and the energy current it flung slammed against two human skulls hanging from trees beside it, making a loud banging sound.
注视杨子藏的怪物爪子一扫，挥出的能量气流将旁边的两块吊在树上的人类头骨撞得嗙嗙作响。
“Damn it!” Yang Zicang felt a shudder of dread.
“可恶啊！”杨子藏心中微凛。
Although it was a thousand meters away, every move it made felt right in front of everyone, so clear that even Qiu Meng, with his bad eyesight, could see it distinctly, as if it were directly projected into their minds.
明明远在千米外，但它一举一动就像是在众人身前，哪怕近视得厉害的秦蒙也能清晰看到他的动作，仿佛直接映入了人思维之中。
“I am forever stronger than the strongest here, that’s my privilege. Ha, so there’s something here stronger than those two.”
{永远比此地最强的人更强，这就是我的特权。呵，你竟然还有比这两个东西更强些的存在。}
The aura it emitted was greater than any opponent Yang Zicang had ever faced.
它散发出的气息比杨子藏见过的任何一个对手都更强。
Yang Zicang had no doubt it could kill Lu Zhishen the moment it saw him.
杨子藏毫不怀疑它可以在见到鲁智深的瞬间将其干掉。
“A shadow under the moon that’s just slightly more capable than me in overall strength.”
“综合能力比我更强一分的…月下之影。”
Suddenly, the terrain under Yang Zicang’s feet vanished without warning, but before it disappeared, his figure had already dashed to the edge of that land.
突然杨子藏脚下的地貌突兀消失，但在消失之前，杨子藏的身影已经冲出了这块地的边缘。
He glared angrily at the distant Qiu Meng, “What are you doing, are you trying to swallow me whole?!”
他怒视向远处的秦蒙，“你做什么，想要将我吞掉吗！”
Meng Qin’s mental waves flickered, and he said, “No, I was trying to stop you. Sorry, Brother Zicang. I didn’t expect this monster could still get stronger even now. I, I thought you could handle it.”
秦蒙的精神震动了下，他道：“不，我是想阻止你，对不起，子藏哥。我不知道这怪物竟然在现在还能变强。我，我以为你能对付它。”
“I can!” Yang Zicang charged forward.
“我能！”杨子藏冲了出去。
Suddenly, several small glowing light clusters appeared in the sky.
天际突然出现好些漂浮的小光团。
“Oh, breaking news.”
{呀，突发新闻诶。}
“Let’s see who’s suddenly become so famous.”
{我来看看谁的名气突然变得这么大啦。}
“So many fine places, there’s never been anything like this.”
{这么多好地方，从来没有过呢。}
Whoosh! Yang Zicang turned into a blur, rushing towards the scene blocked by dark energy and flickering model lines, as a few distant figures glanced back while running.
唰！杨子藏化为残影，在远处几人边跑边回望的目光中，冲到那片被灰暗能量和闪动的模型线条所阻隔的幕景前。
The monster walked to the edge of the plot and plunged its hands into the ground.
怪物走到地块边缘，双手插入地下。
{Did you really think isolating me would stop me from dealing with you scum? How typical of low-level life’s thinking.}
{自以为隔绝掉我，就无法对付你们这些渣滓了？还真是低级生命的思维。}
Rumble!
轰隆隆！
Beside this illusory plot, countless twisted black thorns rapidly grew, each spike as long as a finger, densely covering the ground. The plants near the thorns quickly withered, and the soil lost its life aura, becoming barren.
这块虚幻的地块旁，急速长出无数扭曲的黑色荆棘，它们每道尖刺都有指长，密密麻麻布满地面。荆棘附近的植物快速枯萎，泥土也失去了生命气息，变得荒芜。
All the nutrients of the plot were concentrated onto the rapidly growing thorns!
地块的所有养肥都被聚集到快速生长的荆棘之上！
“Die!”
“死吧！”
Yang Zicang stopped in his tracks and kicked a stone on the ground, which, as it flew, was coated in a golden phantom flame.
杨子藏停下脚步，一脚将地上的石头踢出，它飞动而出的刹那被附着上了金黄的虚焰。
BAM BAM!
嘭嘭！
The rock only penetrated one meter into the thorn forest before its forward momentum ceased.
石块只深入了荆棘林一米，就已经停下了前冲的势头。
[I canceled out six 300N; I guess each layer of thorn forest cancels out 300N from me.]
[我抵消了六个300N，我猜它每道荆棘林都会抵消我300N.]
……
……
{Cutie pie, which city are you reporters from?}
{漂漂乖乖，你们是哪座城的记者嘢？}
{What about you, handsome big eyes, are you a reporter from Crimson?}
{你呢，帅帅大眼睛，你是绯红的记者吗。}
{Yes, yes.}
{是呀是呀。}
The glowing little orbs seemed alive as they floated across this land, and now they were all turning toward the scene where the thorns had emerged.
小光团们像是有生命般飘在这片土地各处，此刻它们都转向那片长出荆棘的幕景所在之地。
……
……
The moon-shadow monster with its hands plunged into the ground curled the corners of its mouth, a look of undisguised mockery directed at Yang Zicang in its gaze.
双手插入地面的月影怪物嘴角上扬，看向杨子藏的目光中毫不掩饰的露出嘲弄之色。
The monster suddenly lifted its head.
怪物突然仰起头。
A silver long spear, trailing a gold-red phantom, suddenly stabbed into its forehead.
银色长枪带着金红色虚影骤然刺入他额头。
Snap! The monster’s head split in two; the spear drove straight into its torso, pierced through its body, and nailed it into the ground.
啪！怪物的头颅分成两半，长枪直直刺入它的身躯，穿透了身体钉入地面。
The people in the distance stared in shock at the red-flame spear that had appeared out of nowhere.
远处的几人震惊的看着那突然诞生的红焰长枪。
Even Qin Meng, at the center of the block, stood frozen in place.
地块中心的秦蒙也呆呆站立在原地。
“That’s… it? Success?”
“这就，成功了？”
Two small light motes flew down, floating beside his face, chattering persistently against his cheek.
两个小光点飞下来，漂浮在脸旁，贴着他的脸絮絮叨叨。
{So, what are you thinking now, our big celebrity, Mr. Meng?}
{所以你现在有什么想法呢？我的大名人蒙蒙先生。}
{Hey, you know your fame is already over fifty, right?}
{喂，你知不知道你的名气已经超过五十啦！}
Qin Meng turned a deaf ear, his eyes fixed solely on the monster’s silhouette beyond the thorn forest across from Yang Zicang—the one pierced clean through by a spear.
秦蒙充耳不闻，他只是看着杨子藏对面那片荆棘林后，被一枪刺穿的怪物身影。
That figure had always exuded a ferocious, insurmountable menace in his mind, yet now, pierced through its body so easily by that sudden spear!
那道身影一直在他的意识中散发着凶恶的，无法力敌的威势。此刻却被突然出现的长枪，如此轻易地刺穿身躯！
But Yang Zicang frowned.
但杨子藏皱了皱眉头。
He hadn’t sensed the feedback of temporal sequence!
他没听到获得时序的反馈！
……
……
Though mutual slaughter in a lost-frequency zone didn’t award the opponent’s temporal sequence, this rule didn’t apply to monsters.
虽然失频之地互相残杀不会获得对方时序，但这不包含怪物。
“Impressive. As expected of the strongest opponent.” The moon-shadow monster’s voice rang out.
{厉害，不愧是最强的对手。}月影怪物的声音响起。
Of course… it wouldn’t be that easy this time.
果然…这次没那么轻松。
With a sigh, Yang Zicang imbued the stone chunk with temporal sequence, and it instantly lit up with a phantom glow.
杨子藏叹息着将石块附着上时序，它霎时亮起虚影。
“I wonder, if the target you chose continues to grow stronger afterward, would you also grow stronger along with it?”
“我想知道，若你选择的目标在这之后继续变得更强，你会不会也跟着变强？”
The monster, its body pierced through, had its head split into two halves, and those eyes slanted upward, their pupils trembling slightly as they turned to look at him.
被刺穿身躯的怪物，分开成两片的头颅上，那双斜向上看去的眼睛轻轻颤动着转动瞳孔看过来。
{No. But it’s a fact that I am stronger than you. Don’t even think about growing at this moment.}
{不会。但是，我比你强是事实，你也别妄想在此刻成长了。}
One of the monster’s hands pulled itself up from the ground, reaching toward the spear shaft that had impaled it.
怪物的一只手从地上抽出，抓向刺穿自己的枪柄。
The moment it gripped the silver spear, Yang Zicang had already activated Gravitational Arc Light. A twisting suction force appeared beneath the monster’s body; with a bang, the lower section below its abdomen was shattered by gravity and sucked into a miniature black hole. The remaining part of the silver spear whizzed in, swallowed completely by the black hole, and vanished.
在它握住银枪的瞬间，杨子藏已经发动引力弧光。怪物身体下方出现股扭曲吸力，嘭地声，它小腹以下位置被引力震碎吸入微型黑洞，银枪剩余部分“嗖”地卷入黑洞消失不见。
The others watching from afar shuddered—imagining how painful that must be—yet the monster seemed utterly indifferent.
远处的大伙看得寒毛直竖，那该多疼，这怪物却像是毫不在意。
……
……
The monster’s face, which had turned a dark green, was now split in two, but the flesh writhed inside, reforming to make the missing parts plump once more.
怪物变得青黑的脸庞虽一分为二，但里面血肉翻滚着正将缺失的部分重新变得饱满。
It had turned into two heads!
它变成了两颗头颅！
“You actually possess a body that can regenerate, like a plant. That is indeed an ability that can counter mine,” Yang Zicang said, his expression turning somber.
“你竟然拥有植物一样能够再生的身体，这的确是能够克制我的能力。”杨子藏表情变得凝重。
{Do you want to know why?}
{你知道为什么吗？}
“What?”
“什么？”
{Because the moment I saw you, I, as a projection of the moon, gained a new Ring of Bloodline.}
{因为在见到你的瞬间，作为月之投影的我获得了新的血脉之环。}
Yang Zicang’s heart stirred.
杨子藏心中一动。
Suddenly!
忽然！
Boom! Boom! Boom!
轰轰轰！
Yang Zicang flicked his toe and quickly retreated, while the thorn forest in front of him exploded violently. Countless icy gleams were swept up by the surging force and sent toward the figure opposite!
杨子藏脚尖一点，身体迅速后退，他前方的荆棘林轰然爆炸，无数寒光被劲气裹挟着送向对面的身影！
All the bursting thorns were scorched with pale phantom flames!
所有炸开的荆棘都带着灰白的虚焰！
[Trajectory Dispatch!]
[轨迹调度！]
Hundreds of shards in front of him twisted their trajectories, crashing into other nearby thorn spikes. A thunderous collision erupted, unleashing clouds of smoke.
身前的数百道碎片扭转轨迹撞向它们附近的其它荆棘尖刺，轰然撞在一起，爆出成片烟雾。
