第71章 莫能直视的雄英之威 –2
Chapter 71: The Blinding Majesty of the Superb –2
雄英组众人已经预见到了杨子藏乘「列车马超」来救人的可能。
The Heroic Group had already foreseen the possibility of Yang Zicang arriving aboard the “Matt Chao Train” to rescue people.
「如此迅速，代表著杨子藏没空带别的高手进来。」
“So swift—it means Yang Zicang had no time to bring any other experts along.”
「乌合之众，来了也只是给我们补充时序而已。」吕布淡淡看向远处扭曲的空气道。
“A rabble? Coming here only to replenish our Chronos.” Lyu Bu said coldly, gazing at the warped air in the distance.
近两千米外的空气被无形的力量扰动，像是有只大手从远方快速扫来将空气挤压扭曲。
Nearly two kilometers away, the air was disturbed by an invisible force, as if a giant hand had swept rapidly from afar, contorting and compressing the atmosphere.
轰！
BOOM!
列车撞破风压现身而出，将壹节车厢横衡于前方草原上。
Bursting through the wind pressure, the train materialized, leaving a single carriage lying horizontally across the grassland ahead.
吕布周身散发著浓烈的猩红血雾，他擡起自己的右掌，食指、拇指、中指之间如发丝般的红线闪烁出光芒，光芒勾勒著变幻不定的四边形线条。
Lyu Bu’s body radiated a thick crimson mist of blood; he raised his right hand, where a red thread as fine as silk flickered between his index finger, thumb, and middle finger, its light tracing the ever-shifting lines of Quad.
「准备得差不多了。」
“Almost ready.”
他仰头看向天际。
He looked up toward the sky.
……
猎怪者联盟总部那三人的身影高速从藏匿的地形中冲出，向著列车而去。
The three figures from the Monster Hunters Alliance headquarters burst out from their concealed terrain at high speed, charging toward the train.
「周恒。」
“Zhou Heng.”
吕布的声音被内劲远远扩散回荡在原野上。
Lyu Bu’s voice, amplified by his inner energy, echoed far across the wilderness.
戴著眼镜的周恒转头看了眼草原上矗立于阴云下的那道身影，仿佛能从渺小的虚像上感受到对方肃然冷酷的目光。
Zhou Heng, wearing glasses, turned his head to glance at the figure standing on the grassland under the dark clouds, as if he could feel the other’s stern and icy gaze from the tiny, distant silhouette.
「不管他，快，绝不能停留。」
“Ignore him, hurry. We must not stop.”
杨子藏的列车在预计的地方出现，虽然还有接近两公里，但童文奇和周恒，以及他们身旁的素娥只觉得已经再次获得了新生，这壹次真是惊险万分。
Yang Zicang’s train appeared at the expected location. Although it was still nearly two kilometers away, Tong Wenqi, Zhou Heng, and Su’e beside them felt as though they had been given a second chance at life. This time had been truly perilous.
列车开始调转方向，往这边而来，只要十几秒，自己三人就会得救。
The train began to turn direction, heading toward them. In just a dozen seconds, the three of them would be saved.
「这次折损了这么多人。」
“We lost so many people this time.”
壹旦生命威胁解除，童文奇不免开始涌现出对敌人的恨意。
Once the threat to his life was lifted, Tong Wenqi couldn’t help but feel a surge of hatred toward the enemy.
素娥道：「毕竟是有心算无心，天时地利皆在对面，这次能从尽数出动的雄英组手上逃脱，也是艰难。」
Su’e said, “After all, they had the advantage of premeditation and were favored by both timing and terrain. It was already an ordeal for us to escape from the fully mobilized Xiongying Group.”
赤黄色的列车门自动打开。
The rusty-yellow train door slid open automatically.
忽地，三人不约而同看向天上。
Suddenly, the three of them looked up at the sky in unison.
「这是什么！」
“What is that!”
女人目中透露出几丝惊骇。
A trace of shock flickered in the woman’s eyes.
远远的声音传来。
A distant voice drifted over.
「妳们不是壹直想知道我的能力是什么吗，今次便让妳们见识下。若妳们能从它的手中逃离，这次便罢了。」
“Haven’t you always wanted to know what my ability is? Now, let me show you. If you can escape from its grasp, then so be it this time.”
难以言喻的虚无气息自天际扩散。
An indefinable aura of emptiness spread across the sky.
天际出现道细小的光点，周恒惊骇地道：「素娥！」
A tiny point of light appeared on the horizon. Zhou Heng exclaimed in horror, “Su’e!”
女人胸前展现出闪动的三角形，它略壹扩大将身旁两米范围包裹，周恒和童文奇紧靠在这道秀丽身影的身旁。
A flickering triangle of light appeared on the woman’s chest, expanding slightly to envelop the two-meter area around her. Zhou Heng and Tong Wenqi pressed close beside this graceful figure.
远方远远传来吕布的声音。
From afar, Lü Bu’s voice drifted over.
「它的名字，乃为‘方天‘！」
“Its name is ‘Fang Tian’!”
素娥肃穆地紧闭红唇，眼眸担忧抬向天上。三人周身布满时序的光芒。
Su’e pursed her lips solemnly, her eyes lifting to the sky with worry. The three of them were bathed in the glow of Chronos.
一个小点光点闪耀。
A tiny point of light sparkled.
簌！
Whoosh!
天上垂落下壹道匹练般的光柱，它带著清冷的闪亮划破云层，以光速降临大地！
A beam of light fell from the heavens like a silken ribbon, slicing through the clouds with a cold, radiant brilliance, descending to the earth at the speed of light!
[我抵消13332N！]
[I counteracted it by 13,332 N!]
[我抵消了13332N.]
[I counteracted it by 13,332 N.]
[我抵消了13332N.]
[I counteracted it by 13,332 N.]
三人瞬间消失，出现在壹公里之外，恶魇列车在地上卷起尘土带着呼啸调整方位。
The three vanished in an instant, reappearing a kilometer away. The nightmare train stirred up dust as it howled, adjusting its trajectory.
杨子藏控制感受到死亡威慑的列车快速冲向他们。
Yang Zicang, feeling the deathly threat, controlled the train to rush toward them.
「原来妳们那边瞬移能力的拥有者就是那个女人，据说，会有十来秒的禁锢时间对吧。」
“So, that woman over there is the one with teleportation ability. They say there’s a suppression period of over ten seconds, right?”
天际再次出现那抹气息！
That aura appeared again at the horizon!
瞬息移动后，还矗立原地无法动弹的周恒终于知道，为什么这道冷声的主人会成为雄英组的首领了。
After the teleportation, Zhou Heng stood frozen in place, unable to move—and finally understood why the owner of that cold voice had become the leader of the Xiongying team.
为什么这个男人能够隐藏自己的绝技整整三年半的时间。
Why this man had managed to hide his ultimate technique for three and a half years.
为什么从未有任何人透露过吕布的能力资料，也没有人见过他的伴身恶魇！
Why has no one ever disclosed the details of Lü Bu’s abilities, and why has no one ever witnessed his accompanying nightmare entity?
因为所有见识过他能力的对手都死了。
Because all who had witnessed his abilities were dead.
无壹生还！
Not a single one survived!
「杨子藏！」
“Yang Zicang!”
发动能力后素娥略显痛苦地僵矗在原地，周恒双目充血地喊向空气中冲来的列车身影，他们三个浑身皮肤发麻，浓烈的死亡危机悬浮在头顶。
After activating her ability, Su’e stood stiffly in place, a look of pain on her face. Zhou Heng, his eyes bloodshot, shouted at the image of a train charging toward them through the air. The three of them felt their skin crawl, a suffocating crisis of death looming over their heads.
这次童文奇胸前闪动出光线，一些时序扩展。
This time, Tong Wenqi’s chest flickered with light, and certain timelines began to expand.
[给我们每人更多时序，超过壹万年也无所谓，只要度过这难关…]
[Give each of us more Chronos—ten thousand years or more wouldn’t matter, as long as we get through this crisis…]
轰！刚说完，大地爆起光芒将所有声音吞没。
Boom! The moment the words were spoken, the earth erupted with a blinding light, swallowing all sound.
高速前进的恶魇列车轰地翻滚般窜入风中，它不敢直面那道光芒匹练，狂风打著璇儿以弧线再次接近定在原地的三人。
The Nightmare Train, hurtling forward at breakneck speed, rolled and tumbled into the wind with a deafening roar, too terrified to face the torrent of light head-on. The gale churned in spirals, arcing closer once more toward the three figures rooted to the spot.
猎怪者联盟总部在犹豫，童文奇请求超过万年的时序支援…同时送走三人…他们离开后基本就跟这里无关了。
The headquarters of the Monster Hunter Alliance hesitated. Tong Wenqi had requested over ten thousand years of Chronos support… while simultaneously sending the three of them away… once they were gone, they would have little bearing on the events here.
而且现在给他们时序，也无法让其离开——这是在交错地内。就算拥有超过万年失序，也必须稳定交错地后才行！
Besides, even if we give them Chronos now, they cannot leave—this is within the Crossroads. Even with over ten thousand years of misalignment, one must first stabilize the Crossroads before proceeding!
所以…
So…
办公室中的几位董事眼眶发红拳头颤动的感受着心灵连接彼面的，几乎难以靠眼睛分辨的时间差画面。
In the office, several directors, eyes reddened and fists trembling, perceived through their mental connection the scenes on the other side almost too fast for the eyes to distinguish due to the time lag.
「啊！」
“Ah!”
天空如无声撕裂般炸响！光芒闪动垂下。
The sky exploded as if torn silently! The flashes flickered and cascaded down.
座位上的他们闭上眼。
Seated, they closed their eyes.
如果说马超的威慑让人难以入眠，不敢独自待在夜间，那么从今日开始，这个人的存在则让人无时无刻不恐惧天空。
If one could say Matt Chao’s menacing presence made sleep elusive and the night unbearable to face alone, then from this day forward, this person’s existence makes them fear the sky at every waking moment.
挨了两下的童文奇口中喃喃，白光中，他努力擡头望向苍穹，对自己能力的所有骄傲在此刻荡然无存。
Tong Wenqi, after being struck twice, muttered under his breath. In the white light, he struggled to lift his head toward the sky, and every ounce of pride in his own abilities was utterly shattered in that moment.
只因那是颗激光卫星所诞生的恶魇。
All because that was the nightmare born from a laser satellite.
这便是雄英组首领的能力。
This is the power of the leader of the Xiongying Group.
光芒再次闪耀！
The light flashed again!
｛我名方天，我即是天光。｝
{My name is Fang Tian; I am the celestial light itself.}
垂落地面的光芒宛若神灵刺下的长矛。
The beams cascading toward the ground struck like spears thrust down by a wrathful deity.
失聪的更烈白光中，周恒三人只感觉自己的灵魂似乎脱离身体，痛苦地被撞击而出。
In the blinding, deafeningly white radiance, Zhou Heng and his two companions felt as though their souls were ripped from their bodies, painfully wrenched out by the impact.
在光芒垂落前的毫秒间，一道模糊白色怪物的身影轰然撞来，将三人念力体撕咬而出。
In the millisecond before the light descended, a blurry white monstrous figure slammed into them, tearing out their spirit bodies.
[我抵消了10N。]
[I canceled out 10 N.]
意识瞬间呆滞许多的童文奇诧异的努力想要思索，却难以运转大脑般地看着眼前，像是看到了自己的身躯在光芒中快速焦灼变黑。
Tong Wenqi, whose consciousness had suddenly grown sluggish, struggled dazedly to think, yet his mind barely functioned as he stared ahead, as if witnessing his own body rapidly charring and blackening in the light.
……
劈啪！椅子腿跟地板的触碰发出噪音。
Crack! The chair leg scraped against the floor with a grating noise.
莫里哆哆嗦嗦的半站而起道：
Morris, trembling, half-rose to his feet and said:
｛这就是妳们那边敌人的能力？难怪妳们银白的排名那么靠后，在另壹座枢纽镇，恐怕妳们城市的排名极度靠前吧。｝
“Is that the extent of your enemies’ capabilities over there? No wonder your Silver-White ranking is so low; in another Hubville, I’m afraid your city’s ranking would be extremely high.”
波波利张大嘴，瞪著双眼，两手无言地扯著自己的头发。
Popoli gaped, his eyes wide, silently tearing at his hair with both hands.
我的天，这是来自卫星恶魔的打击吗？！
My god, is this a satellite demon’s strike?!
「为我更换…」
“Swap for me—”
[我为莫里投资8152.3N。]
“Investing 8152.3N into Morris for me.”
[莫里为我追加投资9999N。]
“Morris adds 9999N into my investment.”
在光中，白影念龙的身影差点被荡得失去形状。
In the light, the form of Paleshade Wyrm was nearly shattered, losing its shape.
此刻在杨子藏的全力协助控制下，念龙叼著三个的念力体在空中壹晃，扭转身形再次冲向烟尘四溢的地面，那里有三具烧得光秃秃的身体。
Now, with Yang Zicang lending his full support to control it, the Mind Dragon, clamping three psychic bodies in its mouth, gave a shake mid-air, twisted its form, and charged once again toward the smoke-choked ground, where three charred, bald bodies lay.
在靠近它们前，壹道迅捷的身影自远方冲来，他手上更快的投出道带著红焰的虚影。
Just before they made contact, a swift figure rushed in from the distance, throwing a spectral shadow wreathed in red flames with even greater speed from his hand.
碰！
Smack!
几乎在列车与三具焦炭身躯接触的同时，那投掷物撞碎其中壹道黑炭人身，将其打成了碎块！
Almost simultaneously with the carriage making contact with the three charred husks, that thrown projectile smashed through one of the pitch-black humanoid forms, shattering it into chunks!
总部之人已经无法为其补充时序，只能通过最后的画面眼睁睁看著混乱烟尘中壹具焦黑人形躯体成为碎片。
The headquarters personnel could no longer replenish its Chronos, forced through the final feed to watch helplessly as, amid the chaotic smoke and dust, a charred black human shape burst into fragments.
碎块与另外两道人形黑影落入列车！
The chunks and the other two humanoid black shadows landed onto the carriage.
在那道天光再次落下前，列车撞入扩散的空气消失无踪。
Just before that celestial light descended again, the train plunged into the expanding air and vanished without a trace.
吕布的眼睛眯了眯，看向消失的列车。
Lyu Bu narrowed his eyes, gazing at the disappearing train.
「那东西竟然毫不犹豫就选择了成为敌人的工具。」
“That thing actually chose without hesitation to become a tool for the enemy.”
「毕竟不是人类，哪有忠诚可言。」
“After all, it’s not human—what loyalty could it possibly have?”
赵云来到他身边，「不过那家伙挺厉害，这下对面终于有个像样的对手了。」
Zhao Yun approached him, “But that guy is quite formidable. Finally, the other side has a worthy opponent.”
扛著电风扇的周瑜笑嘻嘻的跑过来：「厉害有什么用，每次壹想到我们头顶上有个能降临光之打击的方天，就觉得安心。」
Zhou Yu, carrying an electric fan, ran over with a grin on his face: “What’s the point of being strong? Every time I think of the Fangtian hanging above our heads with the power to strike with light, I feel a sense of ease.”
「哟，蠢货睡醒了？」狼奶奶在壹旁不屑地瞟了眼周瑜。
“Yo, the dimwit’s finally awake?” Grandma Wolf cast a disdainful glance at Zhou Yu from the side.
「我只是眩晕了下好不好，娘的，以后晚上谁跟我睡啊。」
“I just got a little dizzy, alright? Damn it, who’s going to sleep with me from now on?”
「谁要跟妳这家伙睡，滚壹边去。」
“Who’d want to sleep with a bastard like you? Get the hell out of here.”
吕布转头看了眼他们。
Lü Bu turned his head to glance at them.
「不开玩笑的说，这的确是个要好好应对的问题。以后的每个午夜我们都要注意这点了。」
“Jokes aside, this is indeed a problem that demands careful handling. From now on, we have to stay vigilant every midnight.”
……
轰轰！
Boom! Boom!
略显松散的队列横立的岩石广场上，列车轰然撞破极速扭曲的风压出现在众人身前。
On the somewhat loosely arrayed rock plaza, a train burst through the violently twisting sonic boom, crashing into view before everyone.
扩散的气流将人群的大衣衣角掀得摇摆不定。
The spreading blast of air lifted and fluttered the hems of their coats unsettledly.
「这就是雄英组曾经排名第壹，现在排名第二的伴生恶魇！」
“This is the once top-ranked, now second-ranked, attendant nightmare of Ketsubutsu Academy’s Hero Course!”
虽然已知晓雄英组最神奇的恶魇怪物已然异主，但面对真实出现在眼前的地铁，人们依旧不免骚动。
Although it was already known that the most miraculous demon possessed by the Hero Academy had changed hands, facing the subway train now appearing before their very eyes, people couldn’t help but stir with agitation.
「这两年听得耳朵起茧的人物，居然如此便被人给干掉了，还把列车给夺了过来。」
“This guy I’ve heard about so much over the past two years that my ears are practically calloused, and he’s been taken down just like that, with even the train snatched away.”
「妳又不是不知道，那些怪物哪有什么忠诚可言，只要遇到更强的人，列车迟早会被夺走。」
“Don’t you know it yet? Those monsters have no sense of loyalty whatsoever. As long as someone stronger shows up, the train was bound to be taken sooner or later.”
杨子藏的身影出现在打开的车厢门口。
Yang Zicang’s figure appeared at the open carriage door.
「很可怕的新人啊，还好他在我们这边。」
“A terrifying newcomer—thank goodness he’s on our side.”
几道身穿高领风衣的人影从队列旁边走出，向稳稳停下的列车中段走去。
Several figures in high-collared trench coats stepped out from the queue and made their way toward the middle section of the train that had come to a steady halt.
这队人来到车旁，侧开身让旁边的人靠前，从列车中出现的青年见到这身影后壹愣。
This group arrived beside the carriage, stepped aside to let someone approach, and the young man emerging from the train froze the moment he saw the figure.
「妳不就是…」
“You’re that—”
脸庞宽厚的男人目光温润又不失锐利，仿佛能洞察壹切的慈严并重的君王，他伸出手掌：「没错，正是鄙人，晨御。」
The man, with his broad, sturdy face and a gaze both warm and piercing, stood like a ruler who balanced kindness with severity, as if nothing could escape his perception. He extended his palm: “Indeed, that’s me—Chen Yu.”
看著眼前这熟悉的脸庞，以前只能从电影中见到的影视明星，此刻真实地站在自己面前。
Staring at the familiar face before him—a film star he had only ever seen in movies—now stood real and tangible in front of his eyes.
晨御客气的开口道，丝毫没有任何架子。
Chen Yu spoke courteously, bearing no hint of arrogance whatsoever.
「他们还好吗？」
“Are they doing okay?”
「赛回念力体后，只有两人有微弱的生命气息。」
“After the match of returning to the psychic entity, only two people had faint signs of life.”
杨子藏跟他握了握手。早已等待的众人快速上车擡走伤员。
Yang Zicang shook his hand. The crowd, already waiting, quickly got into the car and carried the wounded away.
