第36章 念力寄往邮徽世界–1
Chapter 36: Telepathic Mail to Yore-Realm-1
想到强者，他不由自主想到所谓的「总部」。
Thinking about the strong, he couldn’t help but think of the so-called “Headquarters.”
只因有所谓雕像的东西，控制了那里的人就几乎等同于这个城市的主宰。 许多能力都要雕像才能运用，要是自己能去到拥有雕像的场景就好了。
Only because there existed something known as the statue — controlling those there meant nearly dominating the city. Many abilities required the statue to be used; if only he could go to a scene where the statue existed.
他只是这么一想，根本未曾指望能去到类似雕像所在的地方。
He entertained the thought idly, never actually expecting to arrive at a place like where the statue dwelled.
正当杨子藏继续在脑海中冥思，该去往什么样的梦境世界才能获取最大利益时，忽然手上由Moexl光线所构成的方框扩展变大，成为一个信封。
Just as Yang Zicang continued to ponder in his mind, contemplating which dream world would yield the greatest gains, suddenly, the frame composed of Moxel light in his hand expanded and transformed into an envelope.
[我想前往可以获得格斗技与雕像世界，是否要邮递至这样的意念时空？]
[I wish to go to a world where I can obtain combat techniques and the statue — is it possible to mail such intent across time and space?]
什么！
What!
杨子藏一下坐了起来，他看向自己手上的那「光线信封」上，封面出现了扭曲的陌生文字。
Yang Zicang sat up abruptly, looking at the “envelope of light” in his hand. On its cover appeared twisted, unfamiliar script.
「难道真的可以… 去到拥有总部那种雕像的世界？」
“Could I really… go to a world with a statue like the one at Headquarters?”
他的心跳不由得加快。
His heartbeat quickened involuntarily.
想到这里，杨子藏干脆在心中多加了几个要求。
At this thought, Yang Zicang simply added more desires in his mind.
自己还有哪些问题可以一并解决？
What other issues could he resolve all at once?
治疗药剂、更多时序、更强的力量…
Healing potions, more Chronos, greater power…
真要去探究那可就太多了… 他想明白这个世界是怎么回事，想知道雕像是什么意思，还想获得能在这个世界立足的高端能力，以及回到地球…
If I were to truly explore all that, it would be far too much… He wanted to understand how this world worked, what the statues signified, and to gain the high-level abilities needed to carve out a place here, as well as find a way back to Earth…
杨子藏想了一大堆，看著信封上的片组越来越多，他按奈住心中的渴求。
Yang Zicang thought of a whole litany of things, watching as more and more phrases accumulated in his mind, he suppressed the craving in his heart.
「不能加这么多条件，绝对会出问题，到时候可能什么都得不到。」
“I can’t add so many conditions, it will definitely backfire, and then I might end up with nothing.”
做出取舍后，他轻声对著自己道：
After making his choices, he whispered softly to himself:
「我想去往一个，跟这个世界核心秘密有关的，同时跟雕像有关的，能获得这个世界高端能力的，相对安全的意念世界。」
“I want to go to a thematic world, one connected to the world’s core secrets, related to the statues, where I can obtain its peak powers, a relatively safe place.”
信封上的片语随著他的话音落下，减少了许多。
The letters on the envelope decreased significantly as his voice faded.
[是否要邮递至这样的意念时空？]
[Send mail to this thematic space-time?]
「是！」
“Yes!”
[邮递费用，1R。]
[Postage fee, 1R.]
这么便宜？
That cheap?
杨子藏还来不及多想，原本就光线阴暗的房间变得混沌起来，如同旋转的灰雾迷泽。
Before Yang Zicang could linger on the thought, the already dim room swirled into chaos, morphing into a rotating gray mist.
手上光芒信封化为意识漩涡，巨大的引力似乎让灵魂离体般被卷入了里面。
The glowing envelope of a letter transformed into a vortex of consciousness, its immense pull sucking him in as if it were tearing his soul from his body.
顷刻间，杨子藏感觉自己意识被吸入，天旋地转。
In an instant, Yang Zicang felt his consciousness being drawn in, his vision spinning wildly.
梦幻般的声音若有若无自意念深处响起。
A dreamlike voice echoed vaguely from deep within his consciousness.
[失落王庭，青白之星，为您服务…]
[The Lost Court, Verdant White Star, at your service…]
[我消耗了 1R 时序本金。]
[I have consumed 1R of my Chronos principal.]
[我消耗邮递次数1，剩余2/3。]
[I consumed one postal delivery attempt, 2/3 remaining.]
……
空气中弥漫著浓郁的草木味。
The air was thick with the scent of verdant foliage and wood.
阵阵鸟叫声中，杨子藏缓慢睁开了眼睛，他发现自己躺在古树横生的丛林。
Amidst the chorus of birdsong, Yang Zicang slowly opened his eyes, finding himself lying in a jungle of ancient, gnarled trees.
[来自青白之星的提示：在此，您可以加速时间。]
[Tip from the Azure & White Star: Here, you may accelerate time.]
天青云朗，绿树成荫，清风如轻纱摩挲般舒润的抚过皮肤。
The sky was clear and blue, the trees offered ample shade, and the breeze brushed against his skin like a soothing, caressing veil of silk.
「比上次更真实，这里… 不像梦中似的。」
“It feels more real than last time… this place doesn’t seem like a dream.”
身穿染血短袖衬衫的他刚站起身来，忽然一片阴影投下。
The moment he, clad in a blood-stained short-sleeved shirt, stood up, a shadow fell over him.
轰~
Boom~
狂风席卷，紊乱狂暴的气浪将杨子藏掀入旁边荆棘林中，皮肤瞬间被刮伤。
A howling gale swept through, a chaotic, violent gust of air hurling Yang Zicang into a thicket of thorns, instantly lacerating his skin.
长著折翼的灰褐色生物冲入高空，飞向远方。
A creature of grayish-brown with snapped wings soared into the sky, winging its way towards the distant horizon.
满脸不可思议的杨子藏从荆棘中爬出，跌跌撞撞起身追去。
Yang Zicang, his face a mask of sheer disbelief, crawled out of the briars and stumbled to his feet to give chase.
「那是… 翼龙？！」
“Was that… a Pterosaur?!”
他太过震撼，内心不安的看著翼龙消失在远方。
Shaken to his core, he watched the pterosaur vanish in the distance, a deep unease stirring within him.
「有恐龙？」
“Are there dinosaurs here?”
杨子藏扶著树干望向山下。
Yang Zicang leaned against a tree trunk, gazing down the mountainside.
巨木参天，茫茫天地四野无人踪。
The trees were colossal pillars scraping the sky. The vast world stretched out, wild and empty of human presence.
远处，更多类似翼龙的生物翱翔山巅。
In the distance, more creatures resembling pterosaurs soared along the mountain peaks.
「老天，这像是有雕像的样子？ 搞错了吧！」
“Good heavens! This looks nothing like a place with a statue! Don’t tell me I’m in the wrong world!?”
夜晚，探寻了周围区域的杨子藏见到了更为古老的生物，有些看上去极其恐怖，比如林中长著胡须的巨蟒。
At night, Yang Zicang, after exploring the surrounding area, encountered even more ancient creatures, some of which looked extremely terrifying, such as a giant python with whiskers in the forest.
噼啪作响的篝火旁，杨子藏手指一捏，光芒般的信封出现。
By the crackling campfire, Yang Zicang pinched his fingers, and a letter-like glow appeared.
「你把我送到哪儿来了。」
“Where the hell did you send me?”
这东西还能让自己来这里两次，也就是说它一共可以让自己进入这梦境三次，现在是第一次。
This thing could bring him here twice, meaning it allowed him to enter this dream three times in total, and this was the first.
除了身上的衣物，只要是睡觉前带著的，目前都出现在了这个世界，包括那把从 c 级交错地寻来的弓与几只箭。
Besides the clothes on his body, everything he had with him before sleeping now existed in this world, including the bow and a few arrows he had painstakingly retrieved from the C-level interwoven realm.
这算是意外之喜，弓是梁喜顺手放在睡觉的杨子藏身边的，毕竟这种武器对那孩子来说毫无用处。
This was an unexpected blessing; Liang Xi had casually placed the bow next to the sleeping Yang Zicang, after all, such a weapon was useless to that child.
「可惜了梁喜的那把剑，早知如此，该拿著睡觉的。」
“What a shame about Liang Xi’s sword. If I had known, I would have slept holding it.”
食物的香气传来，杨子藏拿鼻子嗅了嗅，从篝火旁的灰烬中刨出两个褐色的瓜果。
The aroma of food wafted over, and Yang Zicang sniffed, digging two brownish fruits out of the ashes by the campfire.
这是他下午找到的类似地瓜般的食物。
These were food he had found in the afternoon, similar to sweet potatoes.
跟上次的梦境一样，在荆棘林中受伤的皮肤几分钟便复原，而且哪怕是走了半天，自己也根本不渴不饿，所以这真的依旧是在梦中。
Just like the last dream, the skin injured by the thorny forest healed within minutes, and even after walking for half a day, he felt neither thirsty nor hungry. So this was indeed still a dream.
在这里虽然不需要吃食物，但同样的，自己可以无限的享用各种美食而毫无顾忌。
Though there is no need to eat here, one can also indulge in all kinds of delicacies without any restraint.
这算是在意识世界内为数不多的消遣。
This is one of the few pastimes in the world of consciousness.
周围野兽的嚎叫隐约传来，杨子藏抬头望去，刚好月上中天。
The faint howling of wild beasts came from all around. Yang Zicang looked up, just as the moon hung high in the sky.
[我消耗了 0.12R 时序本金。]
[I have consumed 0.12R of the Chronos principal.]
正拨开个「地瓜」皮的杨子藏听到了Moexl反馈的心念之声。
Yang Zicang, who was peeling the skin off a “sweet potato,” heard Moxel’s telepathic voice in response.
他的眉头一皱。
His brows furrowed.
自己进来的时候是梦境世界的正午，到现在刚好十二个小时。
It had been noon in the dream world when he entered; now, exactly twelve hours had passed.
「原来所谓的消耗时序是这个意思，在这里停留的时间长短，是由时序的多少来决定的吗？」
“So this is what it means to consume Chronos. Is the length of time I stay here determined by how much Chronos I have?”
如果真是如此，那自己便能真正体会到什么叫做黄粱一梦。
If that were really the case, then he would truly understand what it meant to have a dream as fleeting as a millet-filled pillow—a momentary delusion.
「乌噫，乌噫！」
“Ooh-ah, ooh-ah!”
林间响起无数脚步声，一个个嘴唇前突，浑身长著细长毛发，披头散发佝偻著粗皮身躯的矫健身影从四面八方窜了过来。
Countless footsteps echoed from the forest, and lithe figures with protruding lips, covered in long, coarse hair, and hunched rough-skinned bodies scurried over from all directions, their hair disheveled.
其中一些动作灵敏地两三下便上到了大树上，虎视眈眈地盯著下方的杨子藏。
Some of them, agile in their movements, climbed up the large trees in two or three moves, glaring covetously down at Yang Zicang.
「哇我，哇哇！」
“Wah aah, wah wah!”
他们手上拿著石块和木棒，既畏惧又充满好奇的盯著中间那堆篝火。
They held stones and wooden clubs in their hands, staring at the campfire in the middle with a mix of fear and intense curiosity.
「猿人，野人？」
“Ape-men? Cavemen?”
咔嚓。树枝断裂。
Crack. A branch snapped.
故意佝偻着背，浑身长着肌肉的人形生物轮廓自这十来名野人身后的黑暗中走出。
Deliberately hunched over, a towering, muscular humanoid silhouette emerged from the darkness behind these dozen or so savages.
他腰间挂着藤曼缠绕的腰带，上面挂着两个小狼头骨。
A belt woven from vines hung at his waist, from which dangled two small wolf’s skulls.
「是被它吸引的吧。」 杨子藏笑了下，将手上剥开的地瓜丢了出去。
“It’s drawn by this, huh?” Yang Zicang smirked, tossing the peeled sweet potato he’d just opened.
调度能力发动，地瓜稳稳当当落在了这人手上，这精准的动作惹起一片呜呜喔哦的叫声。
His Soliton ability activated, and the sweet potato landed steadily in the creature’s grasp—the precision of the toss drawing a chorus of *wooo-oh-oh* cheers.
在这完整邮徽所指引到的世界中，Moexl能力也能够运用，杨子藏心想，这或许就是自己所想的「安全世界」的回应。
In this world guided by the completed Mail Insignia, his Moxel ability still worked, and Yang Zicang mused this might be the response from the so-called “safe world” he had envisioned.
有Moexl能力，自己的确是安全许多。
With his Moxel ability, he was indeed much safer.
但也可能在完整邮徽所到达的世界，所有人的Moexl都能够使用。
But perhaps in this world reached by the completed Mail Insignia, everyone’s Moxel abilities could be used.
身材魁梧的野人将烤地瓜拿在爪中嗅了嗅，犹豫良久后，在其他同类「唔唔」的催促下，他疑惑的撕下小块塞入嘴中。
The burly savage took the roasted sweet potato in his claw, sniffed it, and after a long hesitation, pressured by the “mm-mm” urgings of his kin, tore off a small piece with doubt and pushed it into his mouth.
烤熟的地瓜入口既化，魁梧野人如遭雷筮般瞬间呆立，双目圆瞪。
The roasted sweet potato melted on his tongue the moment it entered. The towering savage froze like he’d been struck by thunder, his eyes bulging wide.
他不敢置信的嚼了下。
He chewed in disbelief.
「嗷~」
“Ooh~!”
野人首领猛地原地绕圈窜了起来，双拳捶著胸膛唔唔嚎叫，他似乎是平生第一次吃到如此美味的食物。
The Wildling leader suddenly spun around on the spot, darting about as he pounded his chest and howled, appearing to taste such delicious food for the first time in his life.
扯下半个地瓜自己吃后，他将剩余的半个地瓜丢了出去，其它几名野人当即抢夺起这块地瓜，场面混乱无比。
After tearing off half a sweet potato for himself, he tossed the remaining half away, and the other Wildlings immediately scrambled for it, creating utter chaos.
「唔喔，唔喔噢噢噢！」
“Whoa, whoa oooh oooh ohhh!”
杨子藏笑著看著它们，但马上他就笑不出来了。
Yang Zicang watched them with a smile, but soon found himself unable to keep smiling.
尝到烤地瓜的众野人食欲大增，它们虽然依旧恐惧于那堆篝火，但却多了份敢于靠近它的理由。
Having tasted the roasted sweet potatoes, the Wildlings’ appetites surged; though they still feared the bonfire, it now offered a compelling reason to draw closer.
他们举起了石头和木棍，喉咙如野兽般发出威胁的声音，半弓著腿一步步靠近杨子藏，因为那里分明还有好几个这样的东西。
They raised their stones and wooden clubs, their throats emitting threatening growls like wild beasts, their knees bent as they crept step by step toward Yang Zicang, for there were clearly more of these things in his possession.
「野哥，地瓜而已欸。」
“Wild Bros, it’s just sweet potatoes, you know?”
果然「把别人的东西收归己有」是刻在人类 dNA 深处的本能，无论在什么时代。
Indeed, “claiming others’ belongings as one’s own” is a instinct engraved deep within human DNA, no matter the era.
杨子藏拿起弓箭起身，在他们抛出手上的石头砸中自己前，胸前Moexl浮现。
Yang Zicang picked up his bow and stood, and just before they could hurl the stones in their hands at him, a Moxel materialized on his chest.
[时间加速，前往一日之后]
[Time acceleration: advance one day ahead]
几个石块划过空间照著杨子藏的身体而来。
Several stones sliced through the air, homing in on Yang Zicang’s body.
[按照当前脚程，二十四小时我可以前行百里。]
[At the current pace, I can cover a hundred li (thirty miles) in twenty-four hours.]
「先暂时离开点距离便好。」
“Let’s just get some distance for now.”
杨子藏随意选了个方向，使用了时序。
Yang Zicang chose a direction at random and activated Chronos.
他从容迈步的瞬间，天地似乎被按下了加速键，身体嗖地消失在一步之外。
The moment he took a calm step, heaven and earth seemed to hit the fast-forward button, his body vanishing in a blur beyond that single stride.
石头们噼啪打落在他原先所在的位置上。
Rocks clattered down onto the spot where he had just stood.
众猿人瞬间惊呼起来，慌成了一片。
A chorus of startled cries erupted from the ape-men, the mob thrown into chaos.
……
光芒亮起又转黑，一秒之后，杨子藏已经来到了第二日的午夜。
A flash of light, then darkness, and a second later, Yang Zicang found himself at the stroke of midnight the following day.
[我消耗了 1R 时序本金。]
[I have consumed 1 R base Chronos. ]
这便是在此处多出来的能力，时间加速。
This is the extra ability unlocked here: time acceleration.
「还好不用真的当个旅行家。」
“Good thing I don’t actually have to become a nomad.”
杨子藏放心了不少，随后他就诧异的发现自己在黑暗中还能稍微看清点东西。
Much relieved, Yang Zicang then noticed with surprise that he could see faint shapes in the darkness.
这应该是第二天午夜。
This should be the second midnight, just past.
转头一看，远方浓烈的火光在山头熊熊燃烧，宛若广袤黑夜中的神明，如此特立独显。
Turning his head, he saw the blazing flame roaring atop the distant mountain, a defiant edict of divinity amidst the vast black night, unmistakably protruding.
「好家伙，该不会是我刚刚烤地瓜的地方吧。」
“Damn, that couldn’t be the spot where I roasted the sweet potatoes, could it?”
「还真是。」
“No way… it is.”
重新回到此处的杨子藏无奈的看著这熟悉的地形。
Back at that very place, Yang Zicang sighed helplessly at the familiar terrain.
生火时明明已经清理出了安全的区域，能搞出这动静，毫无疑问是那些类似猩猩姿态的人类所干的了。
He had clearly cleared out a safe zone when lighting the fire—to create this chaos, it had to be those humans in ape-like postures.
它们大概是在掏地瓜的时候，将篝火掀得到处都是，惹燃了山林。
They had probably started it while digging up the sweet potatoes, scattering the campfire everywhere, sparking a wildfire in the mountains.
火光中好些动物被烧死，还好这火势只在这山头附近。
In the blaze, many animals were burned to death, but thankfully the fire only raged around this mountaintop.
忽地，周围树上响起几声野人的唔喔叫声。
Suddenly, several grunting cries of wild men echoed from the surrounding trees.
随著此起彼伏的叫声响起，一个浑身烧得秃一块、红一块的倒楣蛋哀嚎冲来趴在地上叫唤。
As the calls rose in a cacophony, a wretched fellow, its body burnt bald in patches and reddening, wailed as it charged over and fell to the ground moaning.
杨子藏停下了正打算加速时间离开的脚步。
Yang Zicang halted his steps, having been about to accelerate time and leave.
越来越多的野人从树上跳下，或者从旁边山林中窜出，趴在地上。
More and more wildmen leaped down from the trees or dashed out from the nearby woods, prostrating themselves on the ground.
他们不住将头抬起看杨子藏一眼后，又埋下抵在地上，浑身颤抖，很是恐惧。
They kept raising their heads to glance at Yang Zicang, then burying them against the earth, trembling all over in sheer terror.
这是它们表达自己臣服的动作。
This was their gesture of submission.
