第90章 校正官 –3
Chapter 90: Justiceer –3
「不能让他离开，否则会死很多人。」
“He cannot be allowed to leave, or many will die.”
杨子藏身后空气开始震动，灰白的半透明恶魇嗖地卷动空气冲向远方。
The air behind Yang Zicang began to tremble. The grayish-white, translucent nightmare swiftly coiled through the air, surging into the distance.
已经逃走的怪物突然停在最高的山包上，目光望向遥远无际的茫茫黑土。
The fleeing monster suddenly stopped atop the highest hill, its gaze fixed upon the vast, boundless black soil stretching endlessly ahead.
「新世界…」
“A new world…”
荒无生息。
A barren wasteland, lifeless and desolate.
校正官叹了口气。
Justiceer let out a sigh.
「我差点忘了，我已经死了呢。」
“I almost forgot… I am already dead.”
校正官看向天空，光团们漂浮在他四周的头顶。
Justiceer looked up at the sky. The luminous orbs floated around him, hovering above his head.
「但如果，我的生命能再爆发壹次闪光，历史终归会记住我的吧，就像他们那样。」
“But if my life could flare up one last time—a single flash of brilliance—history would ultimately remember me, wouldn’t it? Just like them.”
它脑海中浮现许多身影。
In his mind, countless figures emerged.
有以小方碑贯穿大地投身而入的修罗；有伪装成人类行走大地千年，为晦暗之地收集血脉的月天使；有点燃己身献上灵魂冲向虚宇的半人怪物；有带领著自己的「另壹半身命」，行走至世界尽头的契月使；还有无数为人类的未来而努力的白银与黄金顾问们。
There was the Asura, who drove a small stele through the earth and plunged into it; the Moon Angel, who disguised as a human and wandered the land for a thousand years, collecting bloodlines for the Shadow Lands; the half-human monster who ignited itself and hurled its soul into the void; the Oath Moon Envoy, who led its ‘other half of fate’ to the world’s end; and countless Silver and Gold Advisors who toiled tirelessly for humanity’s future.
「主角需要反派，正义需要邪恶…作为曾经的邮递员，这也算壹次为王庭做最后贡献的机会。」
“A protagonist needs an antagonist; justice needs evil… As a former courier, this is my last chance to make a final contribution to the Court.”
校正官轻微转头，看向身后冲来的白影念龙。
Justiceer slightly turned his head, glancing at the Paleshade Wyrm charging toward him from behind.
[我叫阿木，我爹是老山域混塔村的铁匠，我是那儿的邮递员。]
[My name is A’mu. My father is the blacksmith of Huntian Village in the Old Mountain Domain, and I am the village postman.]
他有机会展开力场，他也有机会在远方生物的注视下瞬息离开，但他突然感觉厌倦了。
He had the chance to unfold his force field, and he had the opportunity to vanish in an instant under the distant creature’s gaze—but suddenly, he felt weary.
突然，壹道声音出现在这怪物的心中。
Suddenly, a voice emerged within the monster’s mind.
｛妳的职责，未尽。｝
{Your duty remains unfulfilled.}
体内，那壹直悬浮在心间旁的光环被无形力量推动，强行塞入心间的虚幻宝石。
Inside his body, the halo that had always been suspended beside his heart was pushed by an invisible force, forcibly stuffed into the ethereal gem at the core of his heart.
宝石上有个蜷缩的人影。
On the gem, there was a curled-up silhouette.
[血脉之环第三环…]
[Blood Ring, the third layer…]
校正官的面目瞬间狰狞，痛苦拘偻起身躯。壹种精纯的力量自其躯体中快速的诞生。
Justiceer’s face instantly twisted in agony as his body writhed, doubled over in torment. A pure power rapidly blossomed from within him.
「为什么…非得要…」
“Why… does it have to be…”
嗡！远方冲来的白影念龙从他身体穿透而过。
Vroom! The Paleshade Wyrm charging from afar pierced right through his body.
虚无的人形幻影被叼出，冲向空中。
The ethereal, spectral figure of a person was yanked out and sent hurtling into the sky.
但这道念力体人影瞬间碎裂成无数份。
But this psychic entity shattered into countless fragments in an instant.
其中较大的被白影念龙逐渐吞噬，而其它不同外貌与体型的虚幻人影们散落在四周，呆滞地或倒或立的站在原地。这是好几道不同的身影，只有被白影念龙吞噬的那道身影，才与校正官的外貌有五六分相似。
The larger part was gradually devoured by the Paleshade Wyrm, while the other illusory figures—each with different appearances and sizes—scattered in all directions, standing or lying limp on the ground in a daze. These were several distinct figures, yet only the one swallowed by the Paleshade Wyrm bore a passing resemblance of five or six out of ten to Justiceer’s own appearance.
剩下的数道残破身影中，有壹小部分重新快速的融入校正官身体。怪物的身体因此而并未倒下，它仰天大吼，胸前诞生壹道扩散的光华。
Among the remaining broken silhouettes, a small number quickly merged back into Justiceer’s body. The monster thus did not collapse; it roared at the sky, and a spreading radiance was born from its chest.
无匹气势不断拔高，仿佛山岳要从他体内诞生，其肌肉迸发出浑厚的力道。
An unparalleled aura continuously surged, as if a mountain were about to emerge from within its body, its muscles bursting with immense force.
重新充满生机的校正官目无情感的擡头看向远方，在杨子藏注视到它的瞬间，身影突然出现在杨子藏身前！
Revitalized yet emotionless, Justiceer looked up into the distance. The moment Yang Zicang’s gaze met it, its figure suddenly appeared before him!
轰！
*Boom!*
壹只带著难以言喻浑厚能量的手臂砸来，拳头周围似乎有无数细微生灭的苔藓、藤蔓与花海绽放。
An arm carrying unimaginably dense energy smashed down, and around its fist seemed to bloom countless fleeting moss, vines, and seas of flowers.
巨大的危机感充斥杨子藏心间。
An overwhelming sense of crisis flooded Yang Zicang’s heart.
这样的威势，杨子藏并不是没有见过，只不过它之前所拥有的人，是抵御者和赵安龙！
This kind of might was not something Yang Zicang had never seen before—only that those who wielded it before had been the Defender and Zhao Anlong!
轰轰！
*Boom, boom!*
空气暴鸣，两道站在壹起的人瞬间被打飞，杨子藏的胸膛之下溅起大片血肉。
The air exploded; the two standing together were instantly blasted away, and a large patch of flesh and blood splattered from beneath Yang Zicang’s chest.
｛第三环：肆虐地蔓。｝
{Third Circle: Rampant Vines.}
刷！怪物身影四面八方闪动，如同肆意生长的壹株藤蔓。
*Whoosh!* The monster’s figure flickered in all directions, like a vine wildly spreading.
无数残影不断出现在杨子藏身旁，将这身躯壹拳拳打飞，让杨子藏使用Moexl能力也来不及调动自己的轨迹躲避。
Countless afterimages flashed around Yang Zicang, each punch sending his body flying, leaving him unable to even mobilize his Moxel ability in time to adjust his trajectory and dodge.
短短两秒，莫里紧张得浑身渗透细密汗珠，时序大把狂泻。
In just two seconds, Morris was drenched in fine beads of sweat from tension, his Chronos pouring out in torrents.
「杨哥！」摔倒在远处的秦蒙声嘶力竭。
“Brother Yang!” Chin Mong, sprawled in the distance, screamed hoarsely.
太弱了，自己还是太弱了，大家还是太弱了，哪怕将大家的力量聚集到壹起，贫弱的几人根本难以增加杨哥太多实力。
Too weak—he was still too weak, they all were too weak. Even when pooling their powers together, their meager strength could barely bolster Brother Yang any further.
秦蒙看向变得更强的怪物，感受著心中的Moexl。
Chin Mong turned his gaze to the monster, now grown even stronger, and felt the Moxel within his heart.
白影念龙将这怪物的念力体撕裂。
The Paleshade Wyrm tore through the monster’s psychic construct.
校正官阿木的念力体最后吼出的声音彻底消失在众人心中，但他的身体却在继续狂放的战斗。
Justiceer Amu’s psychic construct let out its final roar, its voice fading completely from everyone’s minds, yet his body still fought on with wild abandon.
「不行啊，他要去的，应该是更远的地方。」
“No good… where he’s meant to go should be much farther away.”
秦蒙看到那道在巨拳下被打飞的身影，眦目欲裂。
Chin Mong watched the figure blasted away beneath the giant fist, his eyes nearly splitting with fury.
这壹切都怪自己，但现在的自己已经不壹样了。
This was all his fault, but now he was no longer the same as before.
他胸前Moexl浮现而出，壹块地面出现在脚下。
The Moxel on his chest emerged, and a slab of ground materialized beneath his feet.
「蠢货，滚过来！」
“You fool—get the hell over here!”
秦蒙将拾起的石块砸向远方那怪物道。
Chin Mong hurled a stone he had picked up toward that distant monster.
没有人格的怪物身影壹闪出现在他身前，在拳头砸中自己的瞬间，与地块壹起消失。
The monster, devoid of humanity, flickered before him, vanishing along with the ground the moment its fist struck him.
但下壹秒，紧张的秦蒙唉啊大叫，跪倒在地。
But the next second, the anxious Chin Mong cried out in alarm and fell to his knees.
哄哄哄！
Boom, boom, boom!
他听到无数连续的沈闷的轰鸣在身体中爆发。
He heard countless continuous muffled rumbling erupt within his body.
拥有三环血脉，力量质变的月影已不是他能收容。
The Lunar Shadow, possessing a three-ring bloodline with a transformed power, could no longer be contained by him.
体内不断诞生将身体摧毁的能量，似要破壳而出，撕裂燃烧著秦蒙的躯体。
Energy that could destroy his body kept birthing within him, as if about to crack out of its shell, ripping and blazing through Chin Mong’s flesh.
荆棘从其皮肤裂缝长出，脸庞出现灼热的雾气，宛若烧焦的魔鬼。
Thorns grew from the fissures in his skin, hot mist wafted from his face, like a scorched demon.
「秦蒙！」
“Chin Mong!”
众人往这边跑来，杨子藏从地上爬起，怒道：「放它出来，我能对付它！」
The crowd ran toward him. Yang Zicang, who had gotten up from the ground, shouted angrily, “Release it! I can handle it!”
「不…子…哥，它不壹样了…它诞生了，更强的…力量。」
“No… Brother Zicang… it’s different now… it’s been born… an even stronger power…”
杨子藏能从它身上感受到那恐怖的，质变的力量，哪怕只是刚诞生也的确不是现在的自己所能抵抗的。
From it, Yang Zicang could feel that terrifying, transformed power—even if it was just newborn, it was indeed beyond what the current him could resist.
自己的确没有把握胜它，甚至连还手都做不到，速度、力量、反应都不是人类所能达到的境界。
He truly had no confidence in defeating it, and could not even counterattack; speed, strength, and reaction were all at a level no human could reach.
杨子藏跑到他身边。
Yang Zicang ran to his side.
秦蒙吃力擡手，壹把抓住身前青年的手臂。
Struggling, Chin Mong raised his hand and grabbed hold of the young man’s arm before him.
「我能…杀死它了…现在的我…不要离开。」
“I can… kill it now… the me right now… don’t leave.”
秦蒙痛苦的脸庞被壹双手捧住。
Chin Mong’s agonized face was cupped by a pair of hands.
「我不会离开！」
“I won’t leave!”
「我，有个…愿望…我，想加入…货队…」
“I… have a wish… I want to join… Cargo Crew…”
身前也留著鲜血的杨子藏颤抖著从裤兜里掏出那张半透明的订货函。
Yang Zicang, also stained with blood beside him, tremblingly pulled out the translucent order letter from his trouser pocket.
壹道折线射向身前跪倒在地的年轻人，他皮肤内不断往外涌出荆棘藤蔓，这细微的丝线直直连接著两人的胸前。
A folded beam shot toward the young man kneeling before him—thorny vines were constantly bursting from within his skin, and the fine thread connected straight across their chests.
秦蒙痛苦的眼眸闪烁了下，像是没想到杨子藏还有这样的好东西，他应该见过订货函。
Chin Mong’s pained eyes flickered… as if he hadn’t expected Yang Zicang to have such a valuable item; he should have seen an order letter before.
[杨子藏邀请我加入筑货队。]
[Yang Zicang has invited me to join Cargo Crew.]
秦蒙喉咙沙哑的呜了两声，露出解脱的神色。
Chin Mong let out a couple of hoarse whimpers from his throat, his expression easing into relief.
[完整碎片开始剥离：8号。]
[Complete Fragment begins peeling off: No.8.]
啪！杨子藏感觉两人之间似乎有什么断裂了。
Crack! Yang Zicang felt something snap between them.
[完整碎片重新计数，1号。]
[Complete Fragment recount: No.1.]
[完整碎片开始重新赋予：2号。]
[Complete Fragment begins re-assigning: No.2.]
他标记了被收容的怪物，毫无思想的怪物瞬间与秦蒙成功凑成拼图。
He had marked the contained monster—a mindless beast— that in an instant clicked perfectly into place with Chin Mong like a puzzle piece.
秦蒙身上的金光碎裂，他身前的三角形不断转动，不稳定地颤抖，像是要崩坏般。
The golden light on Chin Mong shattered, and the triangle before him spun ceaselessly, trembling unstably as if on the verge of total collapse.
「这怎么可能。」
“How is this possible.”
杨子藏愣愣看著他的Moexl。
Yang Zicang stared blankly at his Moxel.
突然，他发现自己在远去，秦蒙身下再次涌出幕景地块，但这次里面好多都变得枯萎。
Suddenly, he realized he was drifting away. Beneath Chin Mong, the blocks of scenery erupted once more, but this time many within them had grown withered.
借来校正官力量的秦蒙感觉痛苦减轻了。
Having borrowed the power of Justiceer, Chin Mong felt his pain ease.
「原来是这样的力量。」
“So this is the kind of power.”
看著手臂上那些诞生了又消失，消失又浮现的幻影植物与花海，秦蒙感觉自己的肌肉与精神在不断转化为支撑它们的能量源。
Watching the phantom plants and seas of flowers on his arm—springing into life only to vanish, then reappearing and fading again—Chin Mong felt his muscles and spirit ceaselessly transforming into energy sources that sustained them.
原本支撑它们的是另壹种能量，但自己并没有。
Originally, they were sustained by another kind of energy, which he himself did not possess.
因此身体快速被消耗，时序也无能为力。
As a result, his body was rapidly consumed, and even Chronos was powerless.
「这就是异世界的力量，好强。」
“So this is the power of another world. How formidable.”
思绪开始缥缈，走到生命尽头的秦蒙露出笑容。
Thoughts began to blur. Approaching the end of his life, Chin Mong revealed a smile.
他的三角形Moexl开始失控。
His triangular Moxel began to spiral out of control.
壹道道额外的圆环诞生在其中，像是要将其顶碎。
One after another, additional rings emerged within it as if trying to shatter it from within.
在跑来途中的几人又不断被送远。
The others, still mid-run, found themselves repeatedly thrust back into distance.
但在他们眼中，秦蒙的身体却无论怎么都清晰无比，仿佛近在眼前。
Yet in their eyes, Chin Mong’s figure remained piercingly clear, as if standing right before them.
他们看见，青年胸前Moexl正向著四边形进化！
They saw it—the Moxel on the youth’s chest was evolving toward a Quad!
但这注定了失败，强大力量的加入，让其不规则的闪动越来越宽广，不时融入虚无，又拉扯回来。
But this was destined for failure. The infusion of immense power caused its irregular flickers to grow ever wider, sometimes dissolving into the void, only to be yanked back.
消瘦的秦蒙伸著手臂，看著干枯手臂外形成花花绿绿的能量。
Emaciated Chin Mong stretched out his arm, gazing at the vivid energy coalescing outside his withered limb.
怪物的嘶吼在虚无中荡来荡去，最后这不稳定的四边形猛地炸开，荡入了虚无。
The monster’s roars echoed through the void, until this unstable Quad abruptly burst and dissipated into nothingness.
威压消散。
The oppressive pressure faded away.
｛蒙蒙，妳的名气已经超过了100。｝
{Mengmeng, your fame has exceeded 100.}
天际，几个光团漂浮而下，在跪倒在地，全身长出荆棘藤蔓覆盖大地的人耳边说道。
In the sky, several orbs of light floated down, whispering beside the person who knelt on the ground, their body covered in brambles that sprawled across the land.
｛蒙蒙乖，妳打败了大坏蛋，我们永远会记住妳的。｝
{Mengmeng, be good—you defeated the big villain. We will always remember you.}
Moexl的光泽彻底消失，秦蒙的头颅低垂，不再动弹。
The sheen of Moxel vanished completely, and Chin Mong’s head hung low, no longer stirring.
｛我们也得到了很多珍贵的参考消息。｝
{We also obtained a treasure trove of precious reference information.}
壹个漂浮的小光点化现出精灵，在他龟裂的脸庞亲了口。
A tiny, drifting speck of light materialized into a spirit, who planting a kiss on his cracked and weathered face.
杨子藏捂著伤口，壹瘸壹拐地走过来。他踩过荆棘藤蔓的范围，来到化为藤蔓雕塑的秦蒙身边。
Yang Zicang, clutching his wound, limped over. He stepped through the range of thorny vines, arriving beside the petrified vine statue that was once Chin Mong.
秦蒙借走了怪物的力量，让怪物随Moexl的崩坏而崩坏，随自己的死亡而死亡。
Chin Mong had borrowed the monster’s power, causing the monster to collapse with the rift of Moxel and die with his own death.
其他几人终于跑到了跟前，大家的神色哀伤，这个平时比较内向的家伙，原来能爆发出这样的能量。
The others finally caught up, their expressions laden with sorrow. This often introverted guy had managed to unleash such overwhelming energy.
「他…」吕志难受不已，在几人间，就属他时常比较在意这青年，不时会找他说说话。
“He…” Lyu Zhi choked with grief; among the group, he was the one who regularly paid attention to this youth, often finding a chance to chat with him.
「这家伙，要是跟我们壹起商量，怎么会发生这样的事。」钱钟生叹息。
“If only this guy had talked things over with us, this wouldn’t have happened.” Qian Zhongsheng sighed.
「谁知道他体内关著个怪物，还能根据我们最强的人变强。」
“Who knew there was a monster coiled inside him, growing stronger to match whoever’s the strongest of us.”
「他应该在害怕，怕大家害怕他。」
“He must have been terrified—scared that everyone would be scared of him.”
范修云拿脏脏的袖子擦了擦眼睛，「这家伙本来要当我徒弟的，结果就这么摆谱的走了。」
Fan Xiuyun wiped her eyes with her filthy sleeve. “This kid was supposed to be my apprentice, and now he just up and left with such a grand display.”
徐秀川强撑笑意：「那这下是白发人送黑发人了。」
Shiu Siuchuan forced a bitter smile: “Guess the old have to see the young off first, huh.”
吕志捶了徐秀川壹拳，带著恼怒之意看著身旁这家伙。
Lyu Zhi punched Shiu Siuchuan in the arm, glaring at the bastard beside him with burning fury.
「秦蒙说他很想回去地球。他说他有个喜欢的女孩子，他想给她表白。这家伙都给我说了好多次了，唉。」
“Chin Mong said he really wanted to go back to Earth. He said there was a girl he liked—he wanted to confess to her. The guy told me that over and over. Tsk.”
几人都沉默了。
They all fell silent.
「他很强。」
“He was strong.”
十几秒后，杨子藏拿染血的手摸了摸他粗燥如龟裂大地的脸颊。
After more than ten seconds, Yang Zicang raised a blood-stained hand to touch his own leathery, fissured face, rough as cracked earth.
「原本他能成为这片土地上数壹数二的存在，只要他找到值得信赖的伙伴。」
“He could have become one of the mightiest few on this land—if only he’d found partners he could trust.”
几人看向周围成片成片的不同幕景之地，它们就像密集的小田块平铺在两三公里的大地上。
They looked at the scattered patches of different landscapes around them—lining the two-to-three-kilometer-wide earth like densely packed little fields.
