第34章 求你抢回来–1
Chapter 34: Beg for It to Be Rescued – 1
[王总为我投资 4000N.]
[CEO Wang Invested 4000N for me.]
｛杨子藏，快拿回你的武器。｝
{Yang Zicang, take back your weapon fast.}
王育安超大声的在心念中响起，他焦躁不安大吼，近乎气急败坏。
Warren Wang’s voice boomed thunderously within the mental link; he snarled in frantic rage, nearly splenetic with panic.
｛你要卖就卖给我！｝
{Sell it to me if you must!}
｛你根本不懂时序战器的价值，你甚至可能都不知道增幅时序被抵消后会有两天才能恢复，而时序战器随便一挥动就能造成数十上百年时序打击！ 你这个傻叉！｝
{You have no goddamn clue about the value of a Chronos Weapon—you might not even know that after the Amplifying Chronos gets nullified, it takes two days to recover, while a mere swing of a Chronos Weapon can deliver decades or even centuries of Chronos impact! You absolute moron!}
「啊？ 真的？ 你们干嘛不早点说啊，他们都走了。」
“Huh? Really? Why didn’t you guys say so earlier? They’re gone now.”
｛他们连门都还没走出，快去啊！｝
{They haven’t even walked out the door yet—go, damn it!}
「这，不好吧，我话都说出口了。 这不是不讲信用吗。」
“This… not cool, man. I already said it out loud. Wouldn’t that make me lose face, being untrustworthy like that?”
｛我去你大爷的。｝
{Go screw yourself.}
这话让某些人的肺都快炸了。
That remark nearly made some people’s lungs explode.
｛你脑袋里被塞大便了吗，是不是有病啊，你…｝
{Did you get your head crammed with shit? Are you freaking sick? You…}
杨子藏遮罩了他的心念通讯。
Yang Zicang blocked his mental communications.
没想到被抢劫还能有这种好处，杨子藏欢喜的感应著这堆慢了步才投资过来的数千年寿命。
Who knew being robbed could yield such a perk? Yang Zicang beamed with joy as he sensed this delayed—but welcome—influx of thousands of years of lifespan just invested over to him.
骂归骂，王育安这家伙并没有抽资。
Insults aside, that Warren Wang guy didn’t pull out his investment.
可以啊这小子，这么命长，不愧是玩投资的。
Nice one, this kid. Got quite a lifespan on him—no wonder he’s in the investment game.
不晓得这单洛宾会收王育安多少时序。
Wonder how much Chronos Robin Lo’s taking from Warren Wang for this single deal.
前方，晃著光膀子的洛宾早已经嗷嗷叫著冲了上去。
Ahead, the bare-armed Robin Lo had already charged forward with a wild battle cry.
「谁也别想拿走，这是我们的武器。 杨子藏是我的队员，武器是我们的！」
“No one’s taking it—this is our weapon. Yang Zicang is my teammate, and the weapon belongs to us!”
手上带著缕红色的金芒让那七人面具下的神色大变，纷纷躲避著胖子的追赶。
The faint red-gold light clinging to his hand made the seven masked figures’ expressions shift drastically beneath their masks, forcing them to flee as the burly man gave chase.
余晨虽手握长枪，但一百年时序跟一剑戳来就会要人老命的普通钢剑相比，却根本不敢上前。
Though Yu Chen gripped his Lance, a hundred-year Chronos seemed far more deadly than an ordinary steel sword that could end a life in one thrust, and he dared not step forward a single inch.
正在这时，众人要出去的门突兀灰暗起来。
At that moment, the door their group sought to exit dimmed as though cloaked in shadow.
「不好，这片空间被晶石同频了！」
“Not good—this space has been synchronized with a crystal!”
杨子藏看向身旁歪著脑袋打量著自己神色的梁喜。
Yang Zicang glanced at Liang Xi, who was tilting his head and studying his expression.
「同频是啥意思。」
“What does synchronization even mean?”
「有人用 c 级交错频晶，将这里绑定了的意思。」
“It means someone used a C-rank Phase Synchrony Crystal to anchor this place.”
远处的燕逸通过感知画面看著新进入的那群蒙面人。
From a distance, Yan Yi observed the newly arrived masked figures, his perception scanning the unfolding scene.
螳螂捕蝉，黄雀在后。
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
他们带著新月级频晶，一进入就将裂缝给封闭了起来。
They carried a New-Moon grade Phase Synchrony Crystal, sealing the rift the moment they entered.
没有手持晶石之人的允诺，将无人能够在稳定这片交错地前离开此处。
Without the permission of the one holding the crystal, no one would be able to leave this shattered realm until it stabilized.
「有这个东西，我们就可以关门打狗了，哈哈哈！」
“With this thing, we can shut the door and beat the dog, haha!”
「兄弟们，给我上！」
“Brothers, charge!”
乱糟糟的混乱人群瞬间就战斗到了一起，而手握长枪的余晨则是首要目标。
In the chaos, roaring confusion erupted into battle in an instant, and Yu Chen, holding the Lance, became the primary target.
「靠，这武器根本无法注入时序。」
“Damn, I can’t inject any Chronos into this weapon.”
嘭！ 两道身影从人群跃出，其中一人手持冒著浓烈金色虚影的铁棍，一棍子敲在他手臂上。
Bang! Two figures burst forth from the crowd, and one of them smacked Yu Chen’s arm with an iron rod wreathed in blazing golden phantoms.
余晨面色一变，这一棍居然带著超过五千多年的时序增幅。
Yu Chen’s expression shifted—this single blow carried over five thousand years of Chronos enhancement.
刚刚保下手臂的他还来不及有所应对，另一道高大身影已经落在他身旁，一记带著金色虚影的上勾拳就向著下巴砸来。
No sooner had he managed to protect his arm than another hulking figure dropped beside him, smashing a golden-tinged uppercut straight at his chin.
「啊啊！」
“Ahhh!”
有过无数战斗经验的余晨仓皇后退躲过。
With hard-won battle instincts, Yu Chen scrambled back to dodge the blow.
他抬起长枪挥动，而对方明显是受过更专业格斗训练的人，来人冷哼一声，一脚踢开武器，双手快速砸了过来。
He raised Lance and swung it, but his opponent was clearly a far more practiced fighter. With a cold snort, the man kicked his weapon aside and started unloading a rapid flurry of strikes with both hands.
嘭嘭！ 两拳下去，余晨双臂被打爆，痛苦的后仰倒地，
Bam! Bam! After two punishing blows, Yu Chen’s arms erupted in pain, and he reeled backward, collapsing to the ground in agony.
「得手！」
“Got it!”
来人明显是这只队伍的首领，声沉如钟，充满威严。
The man before him was plainly the team’s leader—his voice boomed like adamant stone, deep and formidable.
「武器还来！」
“Hand over the weapon!”
洛宾持钢剑自混乱人群中开辟出条血路，此刻上面的红芒已经转为纯金色，说明时序已经降到了一万年以下。
Robin Lo carved a bloody path through the swarming chaos, his steel sword blazing in hand—then, abruptly, the red brilliance shifted into pure gold. It meant his infused Chronos had dropped below ten thousand years.
「嗯？ 时序战器被掌控了。」
“Hm. The Chronos warmaker has been seized.”
蒙面首领抬头注视向杨子藏，其目光冰冷，仿若看待只可随意拿捏的牲畜。
The masked leader raised his head to gaze at Yang Zicang, his eyes as cold as ice, as if looking at mere livestock to be toyed with at will.
「老三，拦下这家伙。」 他瞟了眼洛宾沉声道。
“Third, stop this guy.” He glanced at Robin Lo and said in a deep voice.
「是！」
“Yes!”
队伍中一人迅速后退，他的Moexl快速展开后，一个黑乎乎的物体啪地声砸在洛宾身上。
One of the men in the group quickly retreated. After his Moxel swiftly unfolded, something pitch-black slammed onto Robin Lo’s body with a loud thud.
洛宾灵敏的身姿顿时如被什么刺中般，手中长剑啪嗒落在地上，额头顷刻间就渗出虚汗跌倒在地。
Robin Lo’s agile figure instantly felt as if pierced by something. The long sword in his hand clattered to the ground, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead before he collapsed.
他捂住胸口，看向蒙面之人。
He clutched his chest, glaring at the masked man.
「洛宾，你怎么了？」 杨子藏急道。
“Robin Lo, what’s wrong with you?” Yang Zicang asked urgently.
「我的，心脏…. 这能力… 你们是… 你是… 赤魈宫的宫主，李王？」
“My… heart… this ability… you are… You’re King Li, the palace master of the Red Owl Palace?”
「居然认出来了，没错，我就是宫主。」
“So you recognized me. Yes, I am the palace master.”
洛宾神色一变：「果然是你们… 我的心脏状态…. 被调转了，这些家伙，你们肯定在哪里囚禁了其他人，把我们的状态对调了。」
Robin Lo’s expression shifted: “So it’s you indeed… my heart’s condition… been switched. You bastards must have imprisoned someone elsewhere, swapping our states.”
周围包括余晨在内的几人微震。
The people around, including Yu Chen, were slightly shaken.
联想到之前这帮人的对手都突然莫名奇妙重伤，他们这才惊觉是什么原因。
Recalling how their opponents had suddenly inexplicably been severely injured earlier, they now jolted in realization of the cause.
居然是囚禁人后将其弄伤，在关键时刻让这人的状态与别人对调。
So they had imprisoned someone, injured them, and at the critical moment, swapped that person’s state with someone else’s.
那身材高大的蒙面人将脸上面具一扯，露出下方不怒自威的脸庞。
The tall, masked man tore off his mask, revealing a face that exuded authority without so much as a flicker of anger.
「是又如何。」
“So what if I did?”
他将手上银色的时序战器随手一丢，身边自有人接住。
He tossed the silver Chronos weapon aside, and someone nearby caught it without missing a beat.
「杨子藏，马上解除时序战器的控制权，否则我就亲自动手，送你归天。」
“Yang Zicang, relinquish control of the Chronos weapon immediately, or I’ll take matters into my own hands and send you to your grave.”
李王身上散发著如有实质的压迫力，踏上剧台走向楼梯。
King Li exuded a palpable pressure, stepping onto the stage and heading toward the stairs.
杨子藏眼睛微眯，看来今天这武器还真不好送出去。
Yang Zicang’s eyes narrowed—looked like giving away this weapon today wasn’t going to be so easy.
他深吸口气，看向下方明明赤手空拳，却散发强大威胁之人。
He took a deep breath, gazing down at the man who, despite being unarmed, radiated an overwhelming threat.
这所谓的宫主胸口白色环形再次显现，双拳也随之覆盖上了金色的虚雾般的焰火。
The white ring on the so-called Palace Master’s chest reappeared, and his fists were immediately cloaked in a golden, mist-like flame.
「主动解除，或者死后，被动解除。」
“Surrender willingly, or have it forcefully taken from you after you fall.”
李王声震这片空间。
King Li’s voice boomed across the space.
杨子藏侧伸手臂，目光直视楼下之人，轻声对梁喜道：「武器借我一用。」
Yang Zicang extended an arm to the side, his eyes locked on the man below, and whispered to Liang Xi, “Lend me your weapon.”
感受到手上的木柄触感，他鼻息喷出两道浊气。
Feeling the wooden handle under his grip, he let out two heavy snorts of breath.
竖起这把钢条打磨出的利剑，胸口圆圈内的四千年数位顷刻间归零。
Raising the steel-polished blade, the number “4,000” within the circle on his chest instantly diminished to zero.
四千年，四倍增幅。
Four thousand years, a fourfold amplification.
杨子藏一个纵跃而起，身体在半空时，双手握住的长剑冒出红雾般的虚色火焰。
Yang Zicang leaped upward; midair, the longsword in both his hands burst into a red mist-like, intangible flame.
「哈啊！」
“Haah!”
下方的宫主李王脸上顿时露出残忍笑容，他双拳的金色虚影内部突然冒出缕红色丝线。
King Li, the lord of the lower arena, immediately revealed a cruel smile on his face, and within the golden phantom of his fists, strands of red threads suddenly emerged.
「敢来这里，我怎会不做应对。 来吧，来场男人之间的战斗！」
“Since you dare to come here, how could I not prepare a countermeasure? Come on, let’s have a fight between men!”
嘭嘭嘭嘭！
Thump-thump-thump-thump!
杨子藏落地瞬间，他步伐稳健迅捷的欺身上去，双拳打出残影，空气都发出爆鸣，势如山崩。
The moment Yang Zicang landed, his steady and swift footsteps carried him forward, his fists swinging so fast they left afterimages, the air exploding with a canyon-shattering force.
李王的拳势如山呼海啸。
King Li’s fist surged like a tsunami crashing against the shore.
「喝啊！」
“Drink!”
杨子藏侧身躲过必中之拳，他如一叶扁舟般在拳影中腾挪。
Yang Zicang sidestepped a blow that seemed destined to land, twisting like a blade of grass caught in a surcurrent, evading within the storm of fists.
「怎么会。」
“How could this be…”
李王的拳头每每要在砸中他的瞬间，从起脸庞、头发、胸侧差之毫厘的打过。
King Li’s punches, each time on the brink of smashing into him, would graze his face, his hair, and the side of his chest difference inan exceptionally margin slight difference.
这场战斗看得众人屏住呼吸，杨子藏居然能应对这样的武道大师！
The spectators held their breath as they watched this battle; Yang Zicang was actually able to contend with such a martial arts master!
当他扯下面具的那一刻，众人都已经确定了他的身份。
The moment he tore off his mask, everyone had already confirmed his identity.
把队伍名起得宛若古代门派的李王，正是现实世界中的一位拳道高手，曾拥有自己的格斗俱乐部。
King Li, whose team name sounded like a relic of ancient sword-born Masters schools, was in reality a martial arts boxing master from the real world, once the owner of his own fight club.
在这个人人都感到难以应对的世界中，他反而是喜欢上了这里。
In a world where everyone else struggled to find their way, he had instead come to love it here.
此处，是正他这样崇尚武道，能以格斗技来获得利益的好地方。
This place was the perfect land for a devotee of martial arts like himself, where he could thrive and profit through the language of combat.
在这一年之间，他已击败过数名曾经在这片区域驰骋无忌之人，获得大量时序，也笼络了批喜好此道的追随者。
Over the past year, he had defeated several individuals who once roamed this region with impunity, amassing a great amount of Chronos and winning over a group of followers who shared his passion for this craft.
如今他自封为宗门之主，打算开宗立派。 连真名都做了更改。
Now, proclaiming himself the master of his own sect, he intended to establish a school and had even changed his given name.
「时序战器落入他们手里，恐怕总部都难以拿回去了。」
“If the Chronos weapons fall into their hands, I’m afraid the headquarters won’t be able to recover them at all.”
「就看他能不能杀死杨子藏，如果能够杀死，那么总部就有理由惩戒他了！」
“We’ll have to see if he can kill Yang Zicang; if he can, then headquarters will have a reason to punish him!”
「呵，惩戒李王？ 那恐怕又是番浪费时序的战斗，总部那些人才不会浪费时序呢。」
“Ha, punishing King Li? That would likely be another Chronos-draining battle—those at headquarters won’t waste their Chronos on that.”
[我获得了杨千的 1000N 投资。]
[I have received Yang Qian’s 1000N Invest.]
「杨千？ 好家伙。」
“Yang Qian? You sly dog!”
杨子藏生怕那姓王的抽资，那今天自己就算是交代在这里了。
Yang Zicang feared that that man surnamed Wang would pull his investment, and if that happened, he would be done for today.
此刻居然有其它人给自己千年投资，有这些时序在手，心中总算能稳当了点。
Now, unexpectedly, someone else had given him a thousand-year Invest; with Chronos in hand, he finally felt a bit steadier.
只是没想到这人居然会是被自己胖揍了顿的杨千。
It was just that he never imagined this person would be the very same Yang Qian he had given a sound beating to.
难道我还有点搞推销的潜质？ 他不禁想到。
Could it be that I have some hidden talent for salesmanship? He couldn’t help but wonder.
｛杨子藏，你若愿意将武器卖给我，我可为你投资五千年，助你活下来。｝
{Yang Zicang, if you are willing to sell me your weapon, I could Invest five thousand years in you, helping you to survive.}
一个陌生声音在心灵链接中主动说道。
An unfamiliar voice suddenly spoke up in the Syn-Link.
｛我也是，杨子藏，你若愿将武器卖给我，我为你投资两千年全权时序，时间一年，随你挥霍。｝
“Same here, Yang Zicang. If you’re willing to sell me your weapon, I’ll invest in you full-authority Chronos for two thousand years—a full year of your time to squander as you see fit.”
｛怎么样杨子藏，我能比他们出更多，只要你愿意，时序马上到账。｝
“What do you say, Yang Zicang? I can offer more than them. As soon as you agree, the Chronos will hit your account instantly.”
七嘴八舌的声音在心灵连结中喊话，却没一个人真的给出投资。
A cacophony of voices clamored within the Syn-Link, yet not a single one actually paid out any Invest.
「呵。」
“Ha.”
拳影下的杨子藏边躲边退，还好只是这一个人，要是再来个这样的高手，自己肯定来不及腾挪。
Under the shadow of blows, Yang Zicang dodged and retreated, evading as best he could. Thankfully, it was only this one opponent; if another expert of this caliber joined in, he’d have no room to maneuver in time.
这人可不比那些从地铁上冲下来的被洗脑者们。
This man was nothing like the brainwashed ones rushing down from the subway.
哪怕有自己的能力去改变他的拳势轨迹，但他却在几秒后就发现了这点，正在用双拳封锁自己的移动范围，并不断用身体将自己逼到逼仄角落处。
Even with his ability to alter the trajectory of the man’s punches, the latter caught on in just a few seconds. He now used both fists to seal off Yang Zicang’s range of movement, constantly pressing him into tight corners with his body.
而自己虽然手持武器，却找不到一个可以刺出的机会。
And though Yang Zicang held a weapon, he found no opening to strike.
这就是面对武道大家！
This was the reality of facing a martial arts master!
自己哪怕可以用能力去调动对方的部分挥拳轨迹，但面对这种随意出手都一招一式之人，自己根本没百分百把握能够一击必中。
Even with his power to redirect some of the opponent’s punch trajectories, against someone who struck with formulaic precision in every move, he had nowhere near a full certainty of landing a decisive hit.
哪怕是上万年的时序增幅，居然也不允许自己能够有所失误，一旦抵消，自己就会陷入万劫不复之地。
Even amplified by tens of thousands of years of Chronos, he couldn’t afford a single mistake. One misstep, one neutralized blow, and he’d fall into an abyss of no return.
「可恶啊。」
“Damn it.”
于此同时，燕逸已经从杨子藏的心灵连结中退出，与在现场的同伴取得联系。
At the same time, Yan Yi had already withdrawn from Yang Zicang’s mental link and made contact with his companions on the scene.
「老弟，hold 住吗？」
“Bro, you holding up?”
[放一百个心。]
[One hundred percent sure. ]
童文奇一直躲在众人身后。
Tong Wenqi had been cowering behind the group all along.
另一伙人得到时序战器后，就将洛宾围了起来，用这把武器当做棍子抽打著洛宾。
After the other crew got their hands on the Chronos Battle Tool, they surrounded Robin Lo and used the weapon like a club to beat him.
「废物啊，这武器就是你的又如何？」
“You good-for-nothing, so what if this weapon is yours?”
「你说是你的，就叫它不要抵扣你的时序啊！」
“You say it’s yours? Then tell it not to drain your Chronos!”
一击一百，数千年时序也只能挨几十下。
A hundred per hit, and even millennia’s worth of Chronos only withstands a few dozen strikes.
洛宾的蓝色软帽早已被打飞，骇人的伤口看上去有几分狰狞狞。
Robin Lo’s blue soft cap had long been knocked off, the horrifying wounds looking grim and fierce.
