第九十五章 拼图与校正 -5
Yang Zicang gaze around at the small patch of grassland beneath his feet, floating there as if adrift, the only thing in this gray, hazy space.
杨子藏看着脚下的小片草原，像是漂浮在这里似的，是灰蒙蒙空间中的唯一。
“Where is this? Qin Meng, let me out!”
“这是哪里？秦蒙，放我出去！”
{Zicang, thanks to you, I’ve changed. Let me finish these things first, then I’ll let you out.}
{子藏哥，谢谢你，我已经不一样了。等我做好这些，再让你出来。}
The extremely tense Yang Zicang looked up; just a moment ago, he felt as if the entire world were watching him, listening to him, and at that critical moment, he appeared here.
极度紧张的杨子藏抬起头，刚才他感觉整个世界都在注视着自己，在倾听着自己，就在那关键的时候，自己出现在了这里。
Where do the Spirit Halls come from?
魂殿来自哪里？
He thought in a daze.
他怔怔的想到。
The Ring of Bloodline, why didn’t he have something like that? Wait…
血脉之环，为什么自己没有那种东西，等等…
Ring?
环？
He looked down at his chest, where a silver-white ring slowly rotated.
他低头看向自己的胸口，那里一道银白圆环缓缓转动。
Qin Meng turned his head to look at the six people running into the black soil and gravel wasteland on the distant horizon—they were also six rays of golden light.
秦蒙转头看向远处的地平线上，跑入黑土砂砾荒原的六人，也是六道金色光芒。
[Full fragment assignment begins: No. 2.]
[完整碎片开始赋予：2号。]
[Full fragment assignment begins: No. 3.]
[完整碎片开始赋予：3号。]
This was the color he had bestowed upon everyone.
这是自己赋予大家的颜色。
{Oh my, celebrity Mengmeng’s fame is close to 70!}
{呀呀，名人蒙蒙的名气直逼70了喲！}
{Celebrity’s actions today will leave a significant mark in the Lost Frequency Land, right.}
{名人今天的作为会在失频之地留下浓墨重彩的一笔，对吧。}
The calibrator’s voice quickly approached from behind him.
校正官的声音快速靠近自己背后。
“All Spirit Halls originate from…”
“所有魂殿来自……”
An overwhelming sense of fear suddenly surged within Qin Meng, and the muscles in his back tensed sharply.
秦蒙感觉无限的恐惧感突然出现，他背脊肌肉猛然绷紧。
“The Moon Realm!” The monster’s voice exploded in his ear.
“月界！”怪物的声音在耳边炸响。
Without turning back, Qin Meng’s model lines flickered, his time sequence tripled in amplification, and instantly, golden-red phantom flames burst from his body.
秦蒙没有回头，他的模型线条闪烁，时序三倍增幅，身上瞬间出现金红色的虚焰。
Bang! He was struck by a powerful force and sent flying into the sky, his amplified time sequence of fifteen thousand plunging to thirteen thousand.
嘭！他被一股大力击飞至天空，增幅的一万五千时序顿时掉到了一万三。
[Full fragment assignment begins: No. 4, 5, 6, 7.]
[完整碎片开始赋予：4、5、6、7号。]
Suddenly, Xu Xiuchuan and the others who were fleeing felt an indescribable sense in their connection with the others.
突然，逃跑的徐秀川几人感觉自己与其它几人的联系有种说不出的意味。
This was an indescribable unity, as if they were inherently inseparable from one another.
这是无法形容的浑然，仿佛大家天然就是密不可分的一体。
Before he even landed, the vegetation on the ground withered rapidly, giving rise to countless gleaming cold thorns. Qin Meng crashed heavily into them, the thorns piercing his body with sharp pain.
还没落地，大地上的草木便极速枯萎，长出无数寒光闪动的荆棘，秦蒙重重摔在其中，浑身刺痛。
[I’ve offset another 1800N. Do I still have time?]
[我又抵消了1800N，我还来得及吗。]
Coughing, he propped himself up. In his mind appeared the figures of several people, while Yang Zicang roared in that void-like place, demanding to be let out.
他咳嗽着撑起身子，意识中出现好几人的身影，杨子藏在那虚无之地怒吼，让自己出去。
The Calibration Officer walked up to him, looking down at him with two heads.
校正官走到他的身前，居高临下的拿两只头颅看着他。
“Why bother? Even if you die, He—who was contained—will still emerge, and I can crush him easily.”
“何苦。你死了，被收容的他依旧会出现，被我轻易捏死。”
Boom!
嘭！
The Calibration Officer slammed a heavy punch into Qin Meng’s face, driving the young man’s skull deep into the thorn-covered soil.
校正官一拳重击砸在秦蒙脸上，将年轻人的头重重砸进荆棘覆盖的土里。
[I offset 2300N.]
[我抵消了2300N.]
The Calibration Officer crouched down. “Even if he escapes, as long as he’s on this land, I will eventually track him down. He has nowhere to go.”
校正官蹲下来，“即便他能够逃跑，但只要在这片土地上，总会被我追寻到，他无处可去。”
Boom!
嘭！
Another punch sent waves of excruciating pain through Qin Meng’s bones.
又一拳让秦蒙感觉自己的骨头充满巨痛。
His neck seemed to teeter on the brink of being snapped; but at the very limit, his timeline always seemed to make space-time jump forward by a microsecond, preserving bones that otherwise would have broken.
自己的脖子在被扭断的边缘，但时序总会在极限的时候让时空像是跳跃了一微秒，原本会折断的骨头并未断裂。
Qin Meng struggled to lift his head, gaze fixed on the crimson-fogged figure beside him.
秦蒙吃力抬头，看向身旁红雾的身影。
“Want to say something? Hah, I forgot. You have no way to communicate with me through your inner voice anymore.”
“想说话？呵，我都忘了，你没办法通过心声与我交流了啊。”
The Corrector raised its fist. Qin Meng closed his eyes, but just as the fist lunged toward his head once more, the model on his chest flickered again:
校正官举起拳头，秦蒙闭上眼，但在校正官的拳头再次冲向脑袋的瞬间，他胸前模型继续闪动：
[Complete shard bestowal begins: Number 8, the self is me.]
[完整碎片开始赋予：8号，我。]
The fist whistled through the short distance with a fierce wind, and a golden radiance enveloped Qin Meng.
拳头带着劲风划过短暂距离，秦蒙身上出现金色的光华。
Seven beam-like streaks of golden light traversed the distance in an instant and merged into his body.
七道丰碑般的金色光华瞬息跨越距离融入他身体。
[I have forged the complete puzzle.]
[我已铸造完整拼图。]
Qin Meng opened his eyes again, gazing at the other party with a calm, unruffled expression.
秦蒙重新张开了眼，波澜无惊的看向对方。
“Hm?” As the fist stopped a hair’s breadth from Qin Meng’s eye socket, a flicker of confusion crossed the Corrector’s face.
“嗯？”拳头在秦蒙眼眶前毫厘之处时，校正官脸上忽地闪过丝疑惑神色。
Boom!
轰隆！
A burst of flame erupted as that ferocious, unmatched punch smashed into the chin of one of the monster’s heads; its other head stared in shock as the chin of its companion exploded.
一道烈焰炸开，那狂猛无匹的一拳挥到怪物一只头颅的下巴上，它另一只头吃惊的看着身旁头颅的下巴炸开。
Triangle flash!
三角形闪现！
Thud! A kick, carrying overwhelming force, slammed into the Corrector’s abdomen, sending the monster’s red-mist-shrouded body flying like a cannonball.
嗵！携带刚猛劲风的一脚砸在校正官腹部，宛如炮弹般将红雾裹住的怪物身体踢飞。
Rumble… smoke rolled across the ground.
轰隆隆隆，地面滚动出烟雾。
The monster, sprawled in the distance, coughed as it stood up, staring in shock at the figure now standing straight upright.
摔倒远方的怪物咳嗽着站起身，震惊的看着那道九十度直立而起的身影。
“You… actually at this moment…”
“你…竟然在这个时候…”
“So-called puzzle pieces—they are a complete partition.” Qin Meng looked up with a glare. “Originally one entity, do you beast understand what that means?”
“所谓拼图，便是完整的分割。”秦蒙抬头怒视，“它们本自一体，你这畜生懂这是什么含义吗？”
The others in the distance felt each other’s presence in their hearts at that moment; without needing their Mental Link, they instinctively knew what Qin Meng had done.
远处的几人从心中感觉到了此刻的彼此，他们不用心灵链接便自然知晓了秦蒙的所作所为。
“Brother Qin has gone mad.” Fan Xiuyun said vehemently, “He borrowed my ‘shout-out’ ability without even saying a word!”
“秦哥发癫了。”范修云震怒的道：“他借走了我的口嗨能力！还说都不说一声。”
In the gray mist, Yang Zicang felt that his power had been taken from him, but in essence, it was still there – just temporarily difficult to wield.
在灰雾中的杨子藏感觉自己的实力被人掳走了，但本质上它却是还在，只是暂时难以运用。
Yang Zicang sensed the other seven people. At this moment, the clearest impression came from Qin Meng, and he could even feel his thoughts. Qin Meng strongly believed in him and believed that all of them were as one.
杨子藏感受着其余七人，此刻能够感应到最清晰的就是秦蒙，甚至能体会到他的心念，他强烈的相信着自己，相信大家是一个整体。
All the model abilities converged onto him!
所有人的模型能力汇聚到他身上！
“What a domineering ability!” Yang Zicang murmured.
“好霸道的能力！”杨子藏喃喃。
[I’ve become more complete, but being complete makes me weaker.]
[我变得更完整了，完整的我好弱。]
The Model spoke hesitantly within Yang Zicang’s thoughts.
模型不太确定的在杨子藏心念中道。
This was akin to Ma Chao’s strong belief that the train could traverse the city in a transparent state. If doubt or mutual distrust arose, this power-borrowing ability might instantly snap and become difficult to repair.
这就像是马超强烈相信列车能够以透明姿态穿梭于城市间一样，如果有了怀疑，有了彼此间的不信任，那么这种借力能力可能瞬间就会断裂，且难以修复。
Qin Meng’s ability had grown stronger, but in a world like this, the preconditions for activating it were simply too extravagant.
秦蒙的能力变强了，但在这样的世界，他发动能力的前置条件实在太奢侈。
On the wasteland, Qin Meng walked step by step toward the monster.
荒原上的秦蒙一步步往怪物走去。
Suddenly, a figure zoomed in on a zigzag path – it was Morey, sitting on a small iron bed with a conical nightcap on his head. This guy had finally been woken up by the knocking.
忽地一道折线射来，是带着锥形睡帽坐在小铁床上的莫里。这家伙终于被敲门声给吵醒了。
{Brother Zicang, good morning, huh, in a fight? Hey, where’s that place you’re at?}
{子藏先生，早上好啊，打架呢？欸，你那是什么地方？}
Yang Zicang stood up and glanced around strangely: “Your question leaves me uncertain now. I don’t actually know where this place is.”
杨子藏站起身，奇怪的看向周围：“你这么一问我倒是不确定了，我也不知道这是什么地方。”
Sensing that Qin Meng was beating the monster to the ground, Yang Zicang quickly gave Mo Li a brief explanation, severed the connection, and folded back into the void.
感受了下将怪物按在地上暴捶的秦蒙，杨子藏快速跟莫里交代了下后，断掉了联系，折线射入虚空。
“Qin Meng, give back the Chrono I amplified for you, and I’ll replace it with a new one.”
{秦蒙，把你增幅过的时序还给我，我再给你更换新的时序。}
The golden energy around Qin Meng suddenly trembled violently.
秦蒙身上的金色能量突然急剧颤动。
Suppressing the thought that Yang Zicang might be trying to take back the Chrono, he returned the remaining 5000N of his nearly depleted Amplified Chrono to him.
他压下杨子藏可能是想收回时序的念头，将剩下不多增幅时序的5000N还给了他。
Upon receiving the Chrono, Yang Zicang quickly broke the link and connected with Mo Li.
收到时序的杨子藏快速断掉链接，与莫里相连。
“I invested 5892N in Mo Li.”
[我为莫里投资了5892N.]
“Mo Li invested 9999N in me.”
[莫里为我投资了9999N.]
The model line shot out rapidly, connecting with Qin Meng, whose heart was now tense.
模型折线迅速射出，与陷入紧张心中的秦蒙相连。
Hearing Yang Zicang’s new investment, the flickering golden light on Qin Meng stabilized instantly, and he stared in shock.
听到杨子藏重新投资，这霎那的秦蒙身上颤动的金光突地稳固，随后他目光愕然。
“Yang Zicang invested 9000N full-authority Chrono in me!”
[杨子藏为我投资了9000N全权时序！]
An overwhelming tingling sensation engulfed the thin man; he let out a roar, a golden-red ethereal flame shimmering over him as he charged at the monster attempting to flee.
无边的酥麻感笼罩着这个瘦弱的男人，他大吼了声，身上再次闪动起金中带红的虚焰，冲向了想要逃跑的怪物。
“Aren’t you just a bit stronger than our strongest!”
“你不是比我们最强之人更强一分吗！”
“That’s right, you’re now qualified to correct fate!”
“不错，你已具备校正命运的资格！”
Thud, thud! The two figures clashed at high speed, their Chronos draining rapidly.
嘭嘭！两人身影高速碰撞，时序快速消耗。
Qin Meng locked palms with the monster and snarled viciously at the two heads before him: “For all of us together, we’ll always be stronger than our best, Captain Yang! So now, who’s really stronger!”
秦蒙与怪物的手掌抵在一起，恶狠狠的冲身前两个头颅说：“对于整体的我们来说，也永远比最强的杨队更强！所以现在我们到底谁更强啊！”
Suddenly, he spat a mouthful of saliva laced with golden radiance at the monster. The moment it dodged its head to evade, Qin Meng landed a kick on the creature, sending it flying.
突然，他携带金辉的一口口水吐向怪物，在对方扭头躲避的瞬间，秦蒙一脚踢在怪物身上，将其抽飞。
Somewhere in the distance, someone scratched their head—that seemed like their own fighting move.
远处的某人抠了抠脑袋，这好像是自己打架的招式。
As the monster flew through the air, it twisted its body, bounced and rebounded off the ground several times before landing steadily.
怪物飞出去的时候，扭动姿态在地面几次反转弹跳，稳稳落地。
“His martial skills have already reached the peak of mortal limits. Thus, the one fraction by which I surpass him cannot be reflected in combat techniques, but it manifests in constant healing.”
“他的武技已是凡人的巅峰，因此我强过他的一分无法体现在战斗技巧上，但却能体现在不断的修复之中。”
The ground around the monster rapidly withered, and its shattered head and injured body regenerated.
怪物身旁的地面快速变得枯萎，它碎裂的头颅和受伤的躯体重新长出。
“This is the Cangyu Bloodline. It feels good to gain the protection of the Soul Hall.”
“这就是沧育血脉啊，获得魂殿守护的感觉，真是不错。”
The light orb above recorded rapidly.
头顶光团快速记录。
It looked up and sneered, “For those of you whose strength comes from possessing Temporal Sequence, once your Temporal Sequence is depleted, you’re nothing. But I can constantly heal, converting the death of plants and the earth into Temporal Sequence. This is where my strength lies. I owe this to this place—after all, in the world I come from, there is no Temporal Sequence.”
它抬头嘲笑道：“对于拥有时序就拥有实力的你们来说，只要时序耗尽，就什么也不是了。而我可以不断修复，将植物与大地的死亡转换为时序。这就是我强之所在。这还得感谢这里，毕竟我所在的世界没有时序。”
Suddenly, the surrounding ground rapidly contracted toward Qin Meng’s feet. Compared to its previous expansion, this retraction was far quicker.
突然，周围地面迅速收拢至秦蒙脚下，相比于之前他的展开，现在的收起更为迅速。
All signs of life vanished, leaving the world barren.
生机消失，世界只剩荒芜。
The monster shot Qin Meng a deep, long look.
怪物深深看了眼秦蒙。
“Didn’t expect that, did you? This is all mine.” Qin Meng raised his fist and charged at it.
“没想到吧，这些都是老子的。”秦蒙举拳跑向他。
“Time to go back to prison. This time, I’m locking you up for a hundred years!”
“重新来坐牢吧，这次我要关你一百年！”
The Corrector turned his head to look at a patch of raised black soil, then his figure suddenly vanished from its spot, reappearing in the distance in front of a four-legged lizard lying on the ground.
校正官转头望向一处耸起的黑土地面，身影突然消失在原地，出现在远处一只趴在地面的四脚蛇身前。
The four-legged lizard abruptly tucked its small tail and burrowed into a crack in the earth.
四脚蛇簌地撅着小尾巴钻入地缝中。
“It actually fled.”
“竟然逃了。”
A surge of pride swelled within Qin Meng.
秦蒙豪气顿生。
Since arriving in this world, he had never felt such exhilaration! This was the power of the strong! The power he had gained today had even driven the vicious and heinous Shadow of the Moon to flee from his blows!
自从来到这世界，他从未如此的舒畅！这就是强者的力量！今日获取的这份力量，甚至让穷凶极恶的月下之影也被自己揍得逃离！
All the scenes vanished again. The six people, who had run several miles away, suddenly found themselves once more just over a thousand meters from Qin Meng, and immediately began wailing in despair.
所有幕景再次消失，跑出几里地的六人转瞬发现自己又回到了距离秦蒙千多米之外，顿时哀嚎起来。
The monster’s two heads, staring straight into the distance, turned to look at the small clusters of light in the sky.
怪物两只平视远方的头颅转动，看向天际的小光团们。
“The previous conversation has been recorded, hasn’t it?”
“之前的对话已经记录了吧。”
The clusters of light did not reply.
光团们没有回答。
The monster chuckled: “Once recorded, that’s well enough. At least most of my correction task is complete.”
怪物笑了笑：“记录了，便好了。我的校正任务，至少完成了大半。”
Faint rings began to appear around his pupils.
他双瞳周围浮现出一道道隐约圆环。
“Ring of Bloodline: First Ring – Crystallizing Gaze.”
“血脉之环第一环：沧桑凝视。”
With a snap of his fingers, the already barren ground around him grew even more withered, but the energy gathered was not much, so he gently shook his head.
他一弹指，周围已经贫瘠的地面更显枯萎，但汇聚的能量并不多，它轻轻摇了摇头。
“Ring of Bloodline: Second Ring – Manifest Sight.”
“血脉之环第二环：视现。”
The Corrector’s figure vanished, and a silver long spear shot out abruptly, embedding itself where he had stood.
校正官的身影消失在原地，一道银色长枪突兀射出插在它所在的位置。
As he teleported again, the silver spear twisted and was withdrawn into a black hole.
随着他的再次瞬移，这银枪也扭曲着缩入黑洞。
……
……
Within Pivot Town, Silverpurser, watching this scene, took a deep breath.
枢纽镇内，看着这幕的逐银深吸了口气。
Such a formidable Chrono Weapon, appearing in a place like this.
这样强横的时序战器，竟然会出现在这里。
Fortunately, the Chrono Weapon’s original temporal attack should have been significantly weakened, otherwise, such a weapon wouldn’t only possess a mere hundred years of temporal power.
还好这把时序战器原本附带的时序攻击应该被大幅削弱了，否则这样的武器不会只有区区一百年的时序攻击。
In the distance, Yang Zicang’s figure had already reappeared on the ground.
远方的杨子藏身影已经重新出现在地面。
After his spear thrust missed its target, Yang Zicang turned his head and glanced at the young man beside him. Qin Meng lowered his head in slight embarrassment.
一枪偷袭未中，杨子藏扭头看了身旁的青年一眼，秦蒙有点不好意思的低头。
“Brother Yang, I’m sorry…”
“杨哥，对不起…”
“To think you could break through at a moment like this… Perhaps you are the strongest person I have ever met… no, at least the second strongest.”
“你竟然能在这个时候突破…或许，你才是我见过的最强…不，至少是第二强的人。”
Second strongest? Qin Meng looked up, bewildered. By now, his confidence was at its peak, yet he never expected that, in Yang Zicang’s eyes, there was someone absolutely stronger than him—someone whose existence he couldn’t even fathom.
第二强？秦蒙不明所以的抬起头，此刻的他已经信心爆棚，却未想到，在杨子藏的口中，还有绝对比自己强的人，不知那样的人会是什么样的存在。
