第九十四章 拼图与校正 -4
Relying on the enhanced environmental awareness of Silent Night, Yang Zicang sprinted with eyes closed, never daring to look back.
杨子藏靠着沉吟之夜对环境的感知能力闭眼狂奔，绝不回头去看。
Panic, rejection, abandoned by heaven and earth.
慌乱、拒绝、被天地抛弃。
The monster closed its eyes, savoring this sudden surge of negative emotions, and let out a soft sigh.
怪物闭眼感受着这突然出现的负面情绪，轻轻一叹。
“I see. You also have a bit of the power speech, the ability to communicate with all things—truly a worthy candidate. Even in my era, you would be a Fusion Pulse Practitioner or Moon Pact Bound worth mentoring.”
“原来如此。连言之力也具备了点，与万物沟通的能力，的确是个不错的应选人。即便是在我所在的时代啊，你也是个值得调教的融脉者或者契月使了。”
He watched Yang Zicang’s fleeing figure, already about to burst out of this patch of abnormal dead-zone frequency.
他看向杨子藏只是逃跑的身影，已经快到要冲出这片多出来的失频之地。
The monster turned its head, gazing at the figures fleeing in the distance. They were already several tiny black dots in Yang Zicang’s perception, and except for Qin Meng, the others were about to lose contact.
怪物转头，注视向远方逃跑的几人身影，他们在杨子藏的感知中已是几个小黑点，除了秦蒙，其它几人即将失去联系。
“Not good.”
“不好。”
Yang Zicang reluctantly turned and opened his eyes, saying, “Come back here. Your opponent is me!”
杨子藏无奈转头张开眼转头道：“滚过来，你的对手是我！”
He severed the Mental Link with Zhu Yin, contacted Wang Chong, and told them to keep running and not look back.
他断掉了跟逐银的心灵链接，与王翀联系，并告知他们继续跑，且不要回头去看。
The Corrector chuckled and stared at Yang Zicang’s turned head, saying, “That’s more like it. Come on. They are your bargaining chips in this fight. If you win, they live; if you die, they die.”
校正官哼哼一笑，盯着杨子藏转过来的头道：“这样才对嘛，来吧，他们就是你跟我战斗的筹码。你赢，他们活；你死，他们死。”
The Moon Shadow-level figure vanished from its spot, appearing before Yang Zicang in an instant, throwing a punch.
月影级的身影瞬间消失在原地，出现在杨子藏眼前，一拳挥出。
Fists, full of power and weight, clashed for the first time.
两只势大力沉的拳头第一次撞击在一起。
Bang!
嘭！
[I have offset the base amount of 2000 N.]
[我已抵消2000N本金。]
Heartache.
肉疼。
[Zhu Yin wants to make an investment for me.]
[逐银想要为我进行投资。]
{Tell me. How many instants do you want?}
{你要多少时序，告诉我。}
“Three mingtsing-nine.”
“三千九。”
[Zhu Yin has invested 3900 N for you.]
[逐银为我投资了3900N.]
After increasing timing, Yang Zicang engaged in an agile combat movement alongside the Corrector, the two figures sliding and darting like martial arts masters.
杨子藏增幅开时序后，与校正官游走对战起来，两道身影如同武道大师般在地上横腾闪挪。
At this moment, the light clusters in the sky chased after Yang Zicang and the other person, with faint telepathic murmurs coming through but unclear, as if they were actively muting their conversation content to avoid disturbing those below.
此刻天上的光团追着杨子藏两人跑，隐隐约约的心念声传来，却听不清楚，像是它们怕打扰下方的人，主动屏蔽了聊天内容。
Obviously, they were just some empty baby-praise messages.
想也知道是些没营养的宝宝互夸信息。
Yang Zicang dodged a punch and quickly said in his mind:
杨子藏躲过一拳心中快速道：
[How much sequential field do you have? I want to return the sequential field that I lost my empowerment on.]
[你有多少时序，我要给你返回我失去增幅的时序。]
{Well… I have a lot here, wait a moment while I clear some out.}
{这个…我这里还有很多欸，你等等我清理下。}
Two seconds later, Zhuyin said:
两秒后，逐银道：
{Alright, first give me five thousand, then I’ll give you five thousand back.}
{可以了，先给我五千，我再给你五千。}
[I refund the investment of 3900N and distribute a superdividend of 5000N!]
[我返还投资3900N，并派发超级红利5000N！]
Yang Zicang stared nervously at the arm swinging from the monster opposite him, until he received the new sequential field investment, whether after one second or one and a half seconds, he couldn’t tell. As he faced the charging figure, he quickly opened the model across his chest!
杨子藏紧张注视着对面怪物所挥动的手臂，等到终于在不知一秒还是一点五秒后收到的新时序投资。他迎着对面冲来的身影迅速张开胸前模型！
The quadrilateral shone brightly!
四边形闪耀！
A silver spear, accompanied by the phantom of a scorching flame, struck toward the monster’s chest. The moment the monster sidestepped to avoid the thrust, he changed the thrust into a sweep, swinging the spear horizontally!
银枪携带炙热火焰幻影敲向怪物胸膛，在怪物侧身躲避这刺枪的瞬间，改刺为扫一枪横向荡出！
A gold-red phantom suddenly emerged from the flames, blending with the blaze.
火焰中突然冒出金红色的虚影，与烈焰混合。
Boom! The long spear landed squarely on the Corrector.
嘭！长枪结结实实打在校正官身上。
[I was negated for 15000N.]
[我被抵消15000N]
“How is this possible!” The Corrector, who had made a dodging move yet was still hit, was very surprised.
“怎么可能！”做出闪避动作却依旧被击中的校正官很是惊讶。
Yang Zicang swiftly retreated, his expression shifting several times as he looked forward at the monster that had been knocked over.
杨子藏迅速急退，表情数度变幻地看向前方被打翻的怪物。
At this moment, the corrector stood up and looked at his chest. The missing part was regrowing. The aged, withered muscle, like a plant brimming with new vitality, rapidly restored itself.
此刻校正官起身看向自己的胸膛，缺失部分在重新长出。老化枯槁的肌肉如同重新充满生机的植物，快速复原。
“Shocked by my ability to regenerate, aren’t you? Want to know the reason?”
“震惊于我的复生能力，是吗？想知道这是为什么吗？”
He wanted to know, but…
想知道，但…
An ineffable danger warning surfaced in his heart.
无法言喻的危险预警在心中冒出。
From a distant time and space, it felt as if a gaze slowly cast over. The information imparted by that person in the previous dream flashed swiftly through Yang Zicang’s mind.
遥远时空之外，仿佛一道目光缓缓投了过来。之前梦中出现的那人所告知的信息快速闪过杨子藏的脑海。
——They are searching for the “Spark.”
——它们在收寻“闪光”。
He could not hear this secret—at least, not at this moment.
不能听这个秘密，至少不能是这个时候。
The corrector grinned with a hint of ferocity: “Because every ability comes from…”
校正官略带狰狞地笑道：“因为啊，所有能力都来自…”
The light clusters drew closer from above.
光团们从天上凑近了些。
“No, get lost!”
“不，滚！”
Yang Zicang punched out, and a gale carrying flames knocked down the monster that was wiping its mouth to spit out the real truths of the world.
杨子藏一拳打出，狂风携带烈焰，将那正在擦嘴吐露世界真实信息的怪物一拳打翻。
“Shut up!”
“闭嘴！”
After all, he possessed thousands of years of accumulated experience from cultivation. Fortunately, during his first entry into the world of imagery, to avoid wasting temporal order and to teach the savages how to sow civilization, he spent at least half of his time fully immersed, thus gaining tempering.
自己毕竟拥有修行了数千年的经验，还好在第一次进入念境世界，为了不浪费时序，同时为了教导野人播种文明，至少一半时间都真实的度过，从而得到锻炼。
Though the monster before him had bizarre abilities, its martial skills were clearly inferior to his martial arts, which he had trained for countless years. Its melee combat specialties were scarce, manifesting only as gusts at its claws.
眼前的怪物虽然能力诡异，但武道技巧明显不如自己练习了不知多少年的武技。而他的格斗秘技并不多，只有爪上的劲风。
[I have now earned a name, in the place of a lost frequency.]
[我已诞生名气，于失频之地。]
Finally, Yang Zicang understood to whom that renown referred—it was for this land, this ground itself.
杨子藏终于懂名气谓之于谁了——是对于这片大地。
He once again severed the connection with Zhu Yin and quickly reached out to the fleeing Zuo Xianfei. The telepathic recipient stammered, full of apologies, about to explain, but Yang Zicang interrupted him urgently:
他再次切断了跟逐银的链接，迅速与逃跑的左非闲取得联系。心灵感应对面的那家伙非常抱歉的想要开口解释，杨子藏打断他急道：
“Your hand once said, ‘I will help if there’s a next crisis.’ Where is he now?”
“你的那只手说过，‘下次危机会来帮忙，’他人呢？”
After a two-second pause, Zuo Xianfei, running so hard his pants seemed ready to fall off, sobbed:
顿了两秒，远方跑得裤子都快掉了的左非闲带着哭腔道：
“Bro, that elder said it’s about dealing with your crisis. But this time, the crisis isn’t yours.”
“哥，那位大爷说，是应对你的危机。但这次的危机不属于你。”
“Damn it!”
“呔！”
Yang Zicang instinctively turned his head to look at the distant old man. Qin Meng had exhausted all his lifespan, gazing at him with a deep, apologetic expression, his eyes filled with death.
杨子藏下意识转头看向遥远地方的那位老人。秦蒙消耗了自己的所有寿命，正满含歉意的望着自己，眼中充满死意。
A flickering line dashed away—Yang Zicang intended to invest in extending Qin Meng’s life.
一道折线闪动而去，杨子藏打算为秦蒙投资续命。
[The selected candidate Qin Meng rejected my investment.]
[应选者秦蒙拒绝了我的投资。]
“I’m not worthy of your help.”
“我没有资格接受你的帮助。”
The monster picked itself up from the ground, twisted its neck, and let out a series of cracking sounds as bones settle back into place.
怪物从地上爬起来，扭了扭脖子，发出咔咔的骨头归位声。
Yang Zicang dodged the monster’s renewed attack, but his opponent seemed like an adult nonchalantly playing with a child who kept swinging at him.
杨子藏躲过怪物再次袭来的身影，但对方就像是个成年人戏耍不断攻击自己的小孩似的，显得很是无所谓。
“What do you mean, not worthy? I brought you here just to hear such garbage talk?”
“什么叫没有资格？我把你带到这里来，就是为了听你这句狗屁不通的话的？”
Qin Meng clutched his head in pain, “I can’t face everyone. I’ve brought disaster… If you perish here, the future full of hope for everyone will be dimmed once more.”
秦蒙痛苦的捂着头，“我无法面对大家，我带来了灾难…如果你在这里身陨，大家刚充满希望的未来又会黯淡无光。”
“Just standing there won’t change anything!” Yang Zicang roared. “Aren’t we a team? In your puzzle, what are we to you? You idiot, accept my investment already!”
“光杵着能有什么改变！”杨子藏吼道：“我们不是一个团队的吗，你的拼图里，我们算什么？你这个煞笔东西，快接受我的投资！”
Qin Meng lifted his head and looked toward the two figures tangled in combat in the distance.
秦蒙抬起头，看向远方两道不断争斗的身影。
“A team… a puzzle.”
“团队…拼图。”
Suddenly, a surge of heat flooded Qin Meng’s mind.
忽地秦蒙只觉得脑袋一热。
[It dawned on me that society is like a giant puzzle. Though people are independent, they are not solitary; they retain a sense of “harmony and unity.” No one can stand firm without the contributions and needs of others.]
[我突然意识到，社会就是张大拼图，人虽独立，却独而不失“和合”。无人不需要他人的贡献与需求，从而支撑自己的立足。]
[I’m having an epiphany—I feel like I’m about to grow.]
[我在感悟，觉得我要长点什么了。]
A batch of tiny light clusters, which had been trailing around Yang Zicang, suddenly split off and rushed toward Qin Meng.
跟着杨子藏屁股转的一堆小光团突然折返了部分出来，冲向了秦蒙。
[My reputation is growing, here in the Land of Lost Frequencies.]
[我的名气正在增加，于失频之地。]
Inside the ring on Qin Meng’s chest, beside the slowly rotating obtuse angle, a small point of light emerged in the empty space.
秦蒙胸前的圆环中，缓缓旋转的钝角旁，缺失的地方诞生了个小光点。
{Ooh, the celebrity is exploding with insight!}
{呀，名人在觉悟中大爆发！}
Within the small light clusters, faint phantoms of tiny fairies could be glimpsed. These little ones waved pens, thinner than leg hair, in their hands, scribbling something on crumpled white paper.
小光团内隐约有着道道精灵小幻影。小家伙们挥动着手上比腿毛还细小的笔，在皱皱巴巴的白纸上写着什么。
Qin Meng’s eyes naturally closed, and the model on his chest flickered.
秦蒙的眼睛自然闭上，胸前模型闪动。
[Yang Zicang wants to invest in a full-time sequence for me—I think I need this investment.]
[杨子藏想要为我进行全权时序投资，我想我需要这份投资。]
[Yang Zicang invests in me a full-time sequence of 5000N, with a term of one year.]
[杨子藏为我投资全权时序5000N，时效一年。]
Tears formed at the corners of Qin Meng’s tightly shut eyes.
秦蒙紧闭的眼角出现泪水。
{What a touching friendship!}
{多么感人的友谊呀。}
{The famous man’s friend is such a good person, pure-hearted like Hua Piaopiao.}
{大名人的朋友真是好人，是跟花漂漂一样纯净的心灵呢。}
{I must record this moment of emotion.}
{我要记录这份感动。}
Qin Meng, who was no longer aging, slowly opened his eyes.
不再苍老的秦蒙缓缓睁开眼。
He looked into the distance. In Qin Meng’s eyes now, there was no distinction between people any longer. The Yang Zicang he saw was merely a golden radiance with the number “1” appearing on him.
他看向远处，此刻在秦蒙眼中，已经没有人与人的差别，他所看到的杨子藏只是道金色的光华，他身上出现个1字。
[Complete fragment begins to grant: No. 1.]
[完整碎片开始赋予：1号。]
The monster chasing him was another dark red glow.
而追逐着他的怪物是另一道暗红。
Yang Zicang felt as if something around him had suddenly vanished—an indescribable sensation, as if only now did he realize that his originally complete self was incomplete.
杨子藏感觉自己周围突然像是缺失了什么，这是一种无言的感触，仿佛突然才发现，原本完整的自己并不完整。
The monster, having taken a few punches, wiped its mouth and said, “Some people want to change this world, some want to stop the change, and some want a limited change. That is the reason you listen or do not.”
挨了几拳的怪物擦了擦嘴角，“有人想要改变这个世界，有人想要阻止改变，有人想要有限改变，这就是让你听或不听的缘由。”
“Shut up!”
“闭嘴！”
One of the correction officer’s two heads looked at Qin Meng in the distance, while the other stared at the young man ahead. Suddenly, it roared:
校正官两只头颅中的一只看向远方的秦蒙，另一只注视着前方的靑年，忽然吼道：
“Because this is a new world!”
“因为这是新的世界！”
The light clusters swished over again.
光团们又呼啦一下飞了过来。
The moon-shadow monster raised its hand and chuckled:
月影怪物抬手咯咯地笑：
“Although those scum who created me are part of the group trying to stop the change! But I don’t think highly of them. O otherworldly one—our old world also had many good things. Even in the worst environments, treasures may be buried. These things I speak of, you may not want to hear, but I think they are the best of our world.”
“虽然制造我的那些杂碎们是阻止改变的一员！不过我并不看好他们！异世之人，其实我们曾经的世界也有诸多美好，再烂的环境也可能埋藏珍宝，我讲述的事情你虽不愿听，但我觉得它就是我们世界最好的东西。”
{Well then, what are they?}
{那请问，是什么呢？}
Some of the small light clusters floating in the sky leaned in and asked.
天际的小光团中有些漂浮而出问道。
{Ah, reporters aren’t supposed to ask non-famous people questions, but… I really want to know.}
{呀，记者不能对非名人提问呢，可是…又好想知道。}
Yang Zicang’s eyes suddenly snapped open.
杨子藏目光猛地一睁。
The monster unexpectedly stepped back a few paces, opening its mouth with a malicious grin as it retreated.
怪物居然主动向后退了几步，他边退边张开了嘴巴，狞笑张嘴。
“Shut up!” Yang Zicang snapped. He vaguely sensed that the more the monster spoke about the past, the worse things would become for this place.
“住嘴！”杨子藏怒道。他隐约觉察到，怪物讲出的关于以前的事情越多，对这里越不好。
“The power comes from the Ring of Bloodline…” said the Corrector.
“能力来自血脉之环……”校正官道。
Swish, swish, swish!
唰唰唰！
The adorable little reporters in the sky busily buried their heads in their notes.
天上可爱的小记者们纷纷埋头做着记录。
[Your fame has increased rapidly.]
[你的名气已极速增加。]
The monster’s two heads opposite wore evil smiles: “The Ring of Bloodline comes from the Soul Hall.”
对面的怪物两只头露出邪恶微笑：“血脉之环来自魂殿。”
{Wow, so that’s how it is.}
{哇，原来是这样。}
{Shouldn’t we have a Soul Hall too?}
{我们是不是也要有魂殿才好呢。}
The monster that spoke these words was extremely satisfied. It stepped forward, its body muscles twisting like a flesh-and-blood machine amassing immense power.
说出这话的怪物极度的满意，他往前走去，体表肌肉扭动，像是蓄积着庞大力量的血肉机器。
“Heh heh, want to know where the Soul Hall exists? It exists in… Hmm?”
“哼哼，想知道魂殿存在于哪里吗？魂殿存在于…嗯？
The ground beneath Yang Zicang’s feet vanished instantly, and he along with it, reappearing in a gray, hazy space.
杨子藏脚下的土地瞬间消失，在上面的他也随之消失，出现在片灰蒙蒙的空间。
In the Corrector’s eyes, there was no trace of the young man at his previous location.
而在校正官眼中，青年所在的位置已经没有了其踪迹。
“Heh, no matter. Calibration of key information… The seed of curiosity is planted, so the anchor point of the world is also laid… It’s almost done.”
“呵，无所谓。关键信息的校正…好奇的种子埋下，世界的锚点便也算埋下了…已经差不多了。”
