第64章 Go!午夜列车下壹站 –2
Chapter 64: Go! The Midnight Train’s Next Stop – Part 2
[列车即将靠站。]
[The train is about to arrive at the station.]
列车外出现了B级异度空间的模糊幻影景象，这里到处充满著厮杀与怒吼。
Beyond the train windows, faint, illusory projections of a B-Class anomalous space emerge, a place choked with slaughter and raging howls.
里面的鼠类已经变得狂暴，冲出了巢穴到处追著人跑，虽然大多数人已经开始逃离此地，但依旧有队伍不在乎三百年的时序扣除，选择与鼠人战斗。
Rats within have grown ferocious, swarming out of their nests to chase people in all directions. Although most have begun to flee, some groups, undeterred by the 300-year deduction in Chronos, choose to stand and fight the rat-men.
杨子藏拔掉了列车长的银色制服，它化为虚幻能量消失。
Yang Zicang tore off the train conductor’s silver uniform, allowing it to dissolve into ethereal energy.
「就在这里好了。」
“Right here will do.”
穿梭在虚无中的列车突兀出现于现实世界，在未靠站的情况下逼停对列车来说是很消耗时序的事情，但它不敢说半个不字。
The train shuttling through the void abruptly materialized in the real world, and stopping without pulling into a station consumed a great deal of Chronos for the train—yet it dared not utter a single word of complaint.
「雄英组的人来支援了，快跑。」
“The Xiongying gang is here to back them up. Run!”
人群仓皇逃散，据说在夜晚，被这艘列车撞入的人会成为它的傀儡。
The crowd fled in panic. It was said that at night, anyone struck by this train would become its puppet.
只见传说中雄英组那艘能驰骋城池各处的列车从虚无中搅动著空气出现。它中间的壹节车厢变得凝实具现而出，悬停在壹米的地面上，而首尾则模糊不见其踪。
There, the legendary train of the Xiongying gang—capable of galloping through every corner of the city—appeared, churning the air as it emerged from the void. One of its central carriages coalesced into solidity, hovering one meter above the ground, while its front and rear ends faded into obscurity, untraceable.
「真的是马超，快撤！」
“It really is Matt Chao! Get out of here!”
其它队伍的人已经先壹步撒丫子跑路。
The members of the other teams had already taken off and run away ahead of everyone else.
列车门哗啦声打开，壹道健硕身影拎著染血长剑出现在门口。
The train door slid open with a clamor, and a robust figure appeared at the entrance, holding a bloodstained longsword.
黑夜中众人看得并不真切，但还是有人将他认了出来。
In the darkness, no one could see clearly, but someone still recognized him.
「天啊，是杨子藏！」
“Oh my god, it’s Yang Zicang!”
「刚才那些投资Moexl不是在求情，让他住手…难道他在这列车上？」
“Those InvestMoxels weren’t begging for clemency earlier, telling him to stop… Could he have been on this train?”
「住手？我靠，什么情况！」
“Stop? Damn, what the hell is going on?”
周围的人瞬间炸锅了。
The surrounding crowd instantly erupted.
「他身旁那个是什么东西，还叼著个模糊人形？」
“What is that thing beside him? Is it carrying a blurry humanoid figure in its mouth?”
「人类真的有灵魂吗？难道那个被叼著的不会是马超？」
“Do souls really exist? Could the one being carried be Matt Chao?”
「怎么可能！」
“How is that possible!”
好些人停下了脚步，这壹幕太过不可思议。
Many people halted in their tracks; this scene was too unbelievable.
杨子藏竟然从马超的列车上走了下来，还带著类似马超的灵体的东西。
Yang Zicang had actually stepped off Matt Chao’s train, accompanied by something like Matt Chao’s spiritual form.
｛我会去最近的地铁站，妳要是需要我，就呼唤我便行。｝
{I’ll head to the nearest subway station. If you need me, just call out my name.}
从张飞和这马超的情况来判断，被人类催熟的恶魇怪物似乎都是以强者为尊。
Judging from Zhang Fei and this Matt Chao’s case, the baleful spectral fiends nurtured by humans all seem to respect the strong.
但杨子藏还是有点担心它会跑路，于是威胁地道：
But Yang Zicang was still a bit worried it would take off, so he threatened menacingly:
「别妄想逃走，否则下次再遇见妳，就不是我出手了。」
“Don’t even think about running, or I won’t be the one dealing with you next time.”
白影念龙目露贪婪地转头盯了眼列车。
The Paleshade Wyrm turned its head to glance greedily at the train.
｛那我就在这等妳。｝
{I’ll wait for you here.}
「杨子藏，妳杀了马超吗？」
“Yang Zicang, did you kill Matt Chao?”
几十米外的钢铁废墟旁有人喊道。
Someone shouted from beside a steel ruin several dozen meters away.
杨子藏没理会任何人，他往前走去，前方是壹个通向鼠人巢穴的裂缝。
Yang Zicang ignored everyone. He walked forward, heading toward a fissure that led to the rat-man nest.
「小心，鲁智深在里面。」
“Watch out, Lu Zhishen is inside.”
「喂，妳是要进去搞死抵御者吗？我劝妳不要去送…」
“Hey, are you going in to take down the Oppressor? I advise you not to throw away your life…”
忽然天空亮了，壹道赤红色的气浪从巢穴内透过地表直冲天际，天上隐约浮现出了另壹轮莹白色的月亮。
Suddenly the sky lit up. A crimson shockwave burst through the ground from inside the nest, shooting straight into the heavens. Faintly, another silvery-white moon emerged above.
恐怖的威压笼罩天地，沈闷的嘶吼在每个人心灵深处响起。
A terrifying pressure shrouded the heavens and the earth. A dull roar echoed deep within everyone’s soul.
人们哪里敢继续待下去，疯狂往四周跑去。
How could anyone dare stay? They madly scattered in all directions.
……
A级交错地内。
Inside the A-tier Intersection Dimension.
周恒等人开始重新稳定另壹片不同的空间，试图将之前的场景替换，以避免他们在里面暗藏了能够进入的站台。
Zhou Heng and the others began re-stabilizing a different patch of space, trying to replace the previous scene to prevent them from hiding any entry platforms inside.
正在稳定第壹道幕景的周恒忽地接到了个心灵链接。
Zhou Heng, who was stabilizing the first sceneryscape, suddenly received a Syn-Link.
「我们的人还剩多少？」他迫不及待的问到。
“How many of our people are left?” he asked urgently.
｛已经所剩无几了，不过有个新的消息，马超应该暂时不会进入妳们的交错地内了。]
{Hardly any remain. But there’s a piece of news: Matt Chao probably won’t enter your Intersection Dimension for now.}
「他去追杀妳们了吗。」
“Did he go to hunt you guys down?”
｛不，他已经废了，很可能会死。｝
{No, he’s already crippled. He might die.}
「什么？！」
“What?!”
「怎么回事？」
“What happened?”
总部几人觉得这消息简直是是天方夜谭，马超几分钟前还活生生站在自己等人面前。
A few members at headquarters found the news utterly preposterous; Matt Chao had been standing before them, alive and well, just minutes ago.
「到底怎么回事？」周恒紧张道。
“What the hell is going on?” Zhou Heng asked nervously.
｛是杨子藏，现在那小子正在往抵御者的巢穴所在地而去，他疑似控制了马超的伴生恶魇列车！甚至将马超的念力体给控制了！｝
{It’s Yang Zicang. That brat is heading straight for the Denizens’ nest right now. He’s suspected to have taken control of Matt Chao’s parasitic demon train! He might even have seized Matt Chao’s psionic form!}
「嘶～」
“Hiss~”
几人震撼莫名。
The group was profoundly stunned.
刚刚还在眼皮子下威胁自己的家伙，转眼就废在了个新人手上？
The man who had just been threatening them under their very noses was now rendered useless by a newcomer?
「怎么会这样。」
“How could this happen?”
周恒身旁的大汉喃喃。马超是他都搞不定的人物。
The hulking man beside Zhou Heng murmured. Matt Chao was someone he himself couldn’t even handle.
｛我们这边怀疑，杨子藏极有可能获得了可以将意念之物「真实降临」的能力。｝
{Our side suspects that Yang Zicang may have gained the ability to truly manifest tangible objects from his mind.}
「他有念能力！」周恒胸膛起伏。
“He has telekinetic powers!” Zhou Heng’s chest heaved.
那大汉看向沉默的童文奇：「如果那把枪在马超手上，妳能抢到手吗。」
The hulking man looked at the silent Tong Wenqi: “If that gun were in Matt Chao’s hands, could you snatch it away?”
童文奇沈著目光未说话。
Tong Wenqi remained silent, his gaze dark and solemn.
他此刻已经知道，为什么那个有月影怪物的C级交错地，怎么那么快就被打开了。
At that moment, he understood why that C-level Void Point, one boasting a shadow-and-moon beast, had been breached so quickly.
这让童文琦的信心遭受打击。
This realization dealt a heavy blow to Tong Wenqi’s confidence.
几人中壹名尖下巴的眼镜男道：
One of them, a sharp-jawed man in glasses, said:
「已经几十个小时了，我的预测还没有诞生结果。」
“It’s been dozens of hours now, but my predictions have yet to bear any fruit.”
他快速掏出色子在小方盒内掷出。
He quickly cast the dice within the small square box.
[我预测，杨子藏故意放弃百年器不是受威胁。]
[I predict that Yang Zicang deliberately abandoned the Cent-Arms not under coercion.]
[我预测正确。]
[My prediction is correct.]
他目光震惊的壹闪，竟然直接就出现了答案！
A flicker of shock flashed in his eyes—the answer had emerged directly!
「是故意的！」
“It was intentional!”
几乎是同时，童文奇气鼓鼓的冷笑了声：
Almost at the same time, Tong Wenqi let out a snide, disgruntled laugh:
「哼，讨厌死了这小子，他连马超都能杀死，还守不住壹杆枪吗。绝对是故意的。」
“Hmph, I hate this kid. He can even kill Matt Chao, so how couldn’t he hold onto a single gun? It’s absolutely deliberate.”
「但为什么要把枪丢出去？」
“But why throw away the gun?”
「谁晓得啊。」
“Who knows.”
说罢，几人转头看向周恒，「要不，枪还给他，就说我们专门给他找回来的？」
Having said that, a few of them turned to Zhou Heng, “How about we return the gun to him and say we specially retrieved it for him?”
周恒双指捏了捏镜框，点头道：「之前是百年器很珍贵，但现在嘛，明显是杨子藏的价值更高。就这么做吧。」
Zhou Heng pinched the frame of his glasses with two fingers and nodded, “The Cent-Arms was precious before, but now, clearly, Yang Zicang’s worth is greater. Let’s do it that way.”
……
杨子藏身影踏入巢穴内的瞬间，壹道如有实质的目光从巢穴深处投来。
The moment Yang Zicang’s figure stepped into the nest, a tangible gaze came from the depths of the nest.
「抵御者吗。」他内心有些犹豫。
“The Resister, huh,” he hesitated inwardly.
自己的目标是鲁智深，但若是对方已经跟抵御者同气连枝，那么自己就只有逃跑的份了。
His target was Lu Zhishen, but if the other party had already joined forces with the Resister, then he would have no choice but to flee.
刚产生这个念头，杨子藏忽然多出了份清晰的明知。
Just as this thought occurred, Yang Zicang suddenly gained a clear intuition.
[41号议员正在注视著我。]
[Councilman No.41 is watching me.]
[妳做出了对的选择，就不要退缩。去抢回「收容物」，我会给妳壹个回报的可能。]
[“You’ve made the right choice, so don’t back down. Go reclaim the ‘Containment Object,‘ and I will grant you the possibility of a reward.”]
杨子藏擡头看向巢穴顶端。
Yang Zicang looked up at the top of the nest.
「请问尊敬的议员先生，妳们究竟是什么人。」
“May I ask, esteemed Councilman, what exactly are you people?”
[妳想要用这个回报可能来兑换该答案吗。]
[Do you wish to use that ‘possibility of a reward’ to pay for this answer?]
「还是不了。」
“No, I’d rather not.”
杨子藏不再问，虽然这答案可能很关键，但对现在的自己却没什么实质性的帮助。
Yang Zicang asked no more. Though the answer might be pivotal, it held no real value for him at this moment.
他壹路快速的冲了进去。
He charged inward with swift determination.
……
身材高大，头上剃得溜光的大汉手持壹本书，吃力的站在大殿边缘的小门口。
A tall, burly man with a cleanly shaven head stood at the small doorway on the edge of the great hall, holding a book in his strained hands.
抵御者散发的强横气息，若不是这本书的帮助，鲁智深感觉自己已经精神失常了。
The formidable aura of the Defier hung heavy; without the aid of this book, Lu Zhishen felt he would have already lost his sanity.
踏踏踏。
Footsteps thudded, thudded, thudded.
顶著地中海发现的年轻人快跑了进来，黄旭胸前Moexl闪烁，低声下气地不安道：「深哥，有个不好的消息…」
A young man with a receding hairline rushed in, the Moxel on Huang Hsu’s chest flickering as he spoke with a groveling unease: “Brother Shen, there’s some bad news…”
「现在正是关键时刻，不是说了吗，任何事情都别打扰我。」
“This is a critical moment. Didn’t I say not to disturb me with anything?”
大汉的部分精神附著在书上，通过这件道具幻化出了个女人的半透明身影步入殿中，与杀气腾腾的抵御者进行著意识深处的交流。
Part of the burly man’s mind fused with the book; through this artifact, he conjured a translucent female apparition that stepped into the hall, engaging in a deep, subconscious exchange with the hostile Defier.
它们交互的信息如大海般汹涌深邃，鲁智深早已有点精神不支，任何的干扰此刻在心中都能激起强烈的怨气与怒意。
The information exchanged between them surged like the vast, tumultuous ocean, and Lu Zhishen was already mentally drained; any disturbance at this moment could stir up intense resentment and fury in his heart.
忽地，已经有点沈入于这些古老信息中的抵御者猛地转头，他的目光爆发出惊天杀意，这些气浪凝聚成真实的鞭影与爪痕如浪潮般闪动。
Suddenly, the warden who had been sinking deep into these ancient information abruptly turned his head, his gaze erupting with earth-shattering murderous intent, as waves of oppressive force condensed into whiplike shadows and claw marks flickering like choppy tides.
轰轰轰！
Boom! Boom! Boom!
大殿中的石柱与墙壁瞬间出现无数深邃的痕迹。
Columns and walls within the great hall were instantly etched with countless deep furrows.
鲁智深壹转头，烦躁地道：「好像有抵御者也在意的人进来了，妳去看看是谁，最好解决掉他。」
Lu Zhishen turned his head and said irritably, “It seems someone those bastards cares about is here. Go out and find out who it is, and take care of them.”
「恐怕就是杨子藏吧。」
“I’m afraid it’s Yang Zicang.”
大汉目光瞬间冰冷的看向他。
The warden’s gaze instantly turned icy cold toward him.
「哦，噢噢，我去看看。」
“Oh… alright, I’ll go check it out.”
秃顶青年冷汗直流地跑出。
The bald young man’s forehead broke out in cold sweat as he fled outside.
「妈蛋，早不来晚不来，明明已经快收尾了。」
“Damn it! Of all times it had to pick now, when it’s almost the finishing touches.”
鲁智深投入更多专注力，尽力来安抚有点不受控制，想要出去亲自出手的抵御者。
Lu Zhishen threw more of his concentration into subduing the partly seething warden barely able to hold back from breaking the match and facing off in person.
若是那样，自己想要再跟他「深入交流」就难有机会了，抵御者不会给任何人第二次近身的机会，哪怕是催熟他的人也不行。
If that happened, then his second chance for “deep dialogue” would slip away—the warden never let anyone glean a third engagement at close quarters, not even a so-called brainchild.
通过沈吟之夜的感知，杨子藏快速找到了熟悉的道路。
Through the perception gained that silent evening, Yang Zicang followed instinct and began to find a path he had gradually known like the back of his hand.
｛子藏先生，妳们那边似乎出现不得了的魔物了啊，没想到排名那么靠后的城市也会诞生那样的魔物。妳是要去猎杀或者封印它吗？｝
｛Mr. Zicang, it seems that a terrifying monster has appeared in your city—I never expected such a beast to emerge from a backwater town. Are you planning to hunt it down or seal it?｝
莫里有些激动，他壹直就觉得杨子藏很强，但没想到竟然强到这样的程度，这家伙还真是壹个人就敢去招惹这样的存在。
Morris was a bit agitated; he had always believed Yang Zicang was formidable, but he never imagined he was this powerful—this guy truly dared to challenge such a menace on his own.
[还好吧。]
[More or less.]
杨子藏硬著头皮道。
Yang Zicang gritted his teeth and replied.
这次要是再拒绝议员，恐怕就真会完蛋了。
If he refused the councilor this time, he would probably be completely done for.
他已经跟莫里打过招呼，若是等下有时序需求，能否让他暂时支援点，没想到莫里很是爽快的就同意了。
He had already asked Morris if he could temporarily provide some support in case Chronos demanded something later, and surprisingly, Morris readily agreed.
代练契约书已经被莫里和波波利通过隐秘的渠道卖出去了两份。
The training proxy contracts had already been sold twice through secret channels by Morris and Boboli.
买家很是激动，这些蕴含技能的契约书，只要是在这个世界存活几个月的人，都会晓得不是随便可以搞得到手的。
The buyers were thrilled—anyone who had survived in this world for a few months would know that these contract books inscribed with skills could hardly be obtained through ordinary means.
