第87章 校正官 –1
Chapter 87: Justiceer –1
虽然失频之地互相残杀不会获得对方时序，但这不包含怪物。
Though killing one another in the Shibin Wastes wouldn’t grant the victor the opponent’s Chronos, this rule did not apply to monsters.
｛厉害啊，不愧是最强的对手。｝
{Impressive. As expected of the strongest opponent.}
月影怪物的声音响起。
The voice of the moon-shadow monster echoed.
高兴还没有来得及褪去，秦蒙的心中就出现了这样的心念声音。他眸光壹动的黯然。
Before joy could even fade away, this mental voice rang out in Chin Mong’s mind. His eyes dimmed with a flicker of sorrow.
「哈，果然…这次没那么轻松。」
“Ha, just as I thought… this time it won’t be so easy.”
杨子藏叹息著将石块附著上时序，它霎时亮起虚影。
Yang Zicang sighed, imbuing a stone with Chronos. In an instant, a phantom glow flickered to life around it.
「我想知道，若妳选择的目标在这之后继续变得更强，妳会不会也跟著变强？」
“I’d like to know—if the target you chose continues to grow stronger from here on out, will you grow stronger along with it?”
被刺穿身躯的怪物，分开成两片的头颅上，那双斜向上看去的眼睛轻轻颤动著转动瞳孔看过来。
The monster, its body pierced through, bore two halves of a split skull. Its eyes, tilted upward, quivered slightly as the pupils swiveled to gaze at him.
｛不会。但是，我比妳强是事实，妳也别妄想在此刻成长了。｝
{No. But it’s a fact that I am stronger than you, so don’t delude yourself into thinking you can grow in this very moment.}
怪物的壹只手从地上抽出，抓向刺穿自己的枪柄。
The monster’s arm pulled itself from the ground, reaching for the spear shaft that had stabbed through it.
在它握住银枪的瞬间，杨子藏已经发动引力弧光。怪物身体下方出现股扭曲吸力，嘭地声，它小腹以下位置被引力震碎吸入微型黑洞，银枪剩余部分「嗖」地卷入黑洞消失不见。
The instant its grip closed around the silver spear, Yang Zicang had already activated Grav-Arc. A twisted suction force materialized beneath the monster’s body, and with a solid thud, the area below its lower abdomen was shattered and devoured into a miniature black hole. The remaining part of the silver spear was drawn into the void with a sharp whoosh and vanished without a trace.
远处的大伙看得寒毛直竖，那该多疼，这怪物却像是毫不在意。
The faraway onlookers were utterly horrified; the pain must have been excruciating, yet the monster seemed completely indifferent.
怪物变得青黑的脸庞虽壹分为二，但里面血肉翻滚著正将缺失的部分重新变得饱满。
The monster’s blackish-blue face split in two, but the flesh inside writhed and swelled, restoring the missing parts to fullness.
它变成了两颗头颅！
It had transformed into two heads!
「妳竟然拥有植物壹样能够再生的身体，这的确是能够克制我的能力。」杨子藏表情变得凝重。
“You possess a body that can regenerate like a plant—this is indeed an ability that can counter mine,” Yang Zicang said, his expression growing solemn.
｛妳知道为什么吗？｝
{Do you know why?}
「什么？」
“What?”
｛因为在见到妳的瞬间，作为月之投影的我获得了新的血脉之环。｝
{Because the moment I saw you, as a projection of the moon, I gained a new bloodline ring.}
杨子藏心中壹动。
Yang Zicang’s heart stirred.
忽然！
Suddenly!
轰轰轰！
Boom! Boom! Boom!
杨子藏脚尖壹点，身体迅速后退，他前方的荆棘林轰然爆炸，无数寒光被劲气裹挟著送向对面的身影！
Yang Zicang’s toes touched the ground, and his body swiftly retreated as the thorny forest before him exploded with a roar, countless glints of cold light carried by blasts of energy hurtling toward the figure opposite!
所有炸开的荆棘都带著灰白的虚焰！
Every shard of shattered thorn was enveloped in pale virtual flames!
[轨迹调度！]
[Trajectory Regulation!]
身前的数百道碎片扭转轨迹撞向它们附近的其它荆棘尖刺，轰然撞在壹起，爆出成片烟雾。
Hundreds of fragments before him twisted their paths, slamming into nearby thorns, crashing together in a massive collision that burst into a thick cloud of smoke.
白影念龙的幻影「休」地从爆炸气浪中直冲怪物。
The phantom of Paleshade Wyrm shot forth from the explosive air current, charging straight at the monster.
｛哪怕这道在曾经世界，无数人渴望的血脉之环，只是个暂时存在的虚影！｝
{Even if this bloodline ring—once craved by countless in the world I came from—is but a fleeting shadow of existence!}
怪物双手合十，猛力壹拉。
The monster pressed its hands together and pulled with immense force.
双掌中暗金色十字星芒闪动！壹道如梦似幻的波纹状力场出现！
A dark-golden cross-shaped star flickered between its palms! A dreamlike, undulating force field emerged!
｛意之力。｝
｛Willforce.｝
嘭！无往不利的白影念龙壹头撞在了这力场上。
Bam! The invincible Paleshade Wyrm slammed headfirst into this barrier.
已经消耗掉七八千增幅时序的杨子藏没有办法抵御更多的攻击，只能暂时后撤，避开爆炸范围。
Yang Zicang, having already consumed seven to eight thousand amplified Chronos, lacked the strength to withstand further assaults. He had to temporarily retreat, avoiding the blast radius.
他试著为白影念龙注入上千时序本金，那与自己合二为壹的恶魇怪物凭借本能，壹口咬住不断闪动的暗金色怪异力场！
He attempted to infuse the Paleshade Wyrm with over a thousand Chronos capital. The nightmare beast, merged with him, instinctively bit into the eerily flickering dark-gold force field!
嘭！力场崩成了粉碎的气浪。
Bang! The force field shattered into fractured streams of air.
但是在这片刻，那怪物已经展开了第二道「意」之力场，将它挡住。
But in that fleeting moment, the monster had already summoned a second “Willforce” field, stopping it cold.
「竟然有这样的力场。」
“So this kind of force field exists.”
用本金去消耗对方的增幅时序，是件非常愚蠢的事，杨子藏无奈只得让念龙消散，自己退向更远的后方。
Expend your capital against an enemy’s amplified Chronos was a fool’s errand. Helpless, Yang Zicang had no choice but to disperse the No-mind Wyrm and retreat even farther.
周围的小光点们齐齐往上飞出了些，避开爆炸的同时叽叽喳喳说个没完。
The surrounding little light motes all darted upward collectively, chattering incessantly as they evaded the explosion.
｛名人，他也是欸。｝
｛A celebrity! He’s one too!｝
｛嗯哼！白乎乎不能泄漏化名的名人噢~可爱啦，别丧气，要笑笑。｝
｛Yep, yep! The pale one who can’t reveal their alias~ How adorable~ Don’t lose heart; wear a smile!｝
｛嗯啦，嗯啦！｝
｛Yep, yep!｝
……
枢纽镇，刚早床的逐银泡了杯暖胃红茶，忽地听到了城市管理大厅内的人的紧急汇报。
In Hubville, Ju Yin Chase, who had just risen for an early breakfast, brewed a cup of stomach-warming black tea when he suddenly heard an urgent report from someone in the City Management Hall.
他身体瞬间消失在原地，出现于大厅外的石阶上。
His body vanished from the spot in an instant, reappearing on the stone steps outside the hall.
「怎么回事？」
“What’s going on?”
逐银冲进布满老式屏幕的实木房间内，几名守在这里的工作人员指著屏幕。
Ju Yin Chase burst into the solid wood room filled with vintage screens, where several staff members on duty pointed at the monitors.
「老大，妳自己看吧。」
“Boss, see for yourself.”
逐银看向黄铜打字机，它上面伸出截纸张，上面是灰黑的细体文。
Ju Yin Chase looked at the brass typewriter, from which a sheet of paper protruded, covered in gray-black fine print.
——【突发新闻】
—【Breaking News】
——失频之地诞生大型共频地貌，五年来月之投影再次诞生于失频之地。
—A large co-frequency landform has emerged in the Shibin Wastes; the Moon’s Projection has once again appeared there after five years.
——新的人类礼拜日中，突然诞生名气超过五十的名人，他竟然没有加入任何筑货队。
—During the new Human Sabbath, a celebrity with a fame exceeding fifty suddenly arose, and he has joined no Cargo Crew.
——秦蒙为失频之地带来新气象。
—Chin Mong ushers a new era into the Shibin Wastes.
「秦蒙？」
“Chin Mong?”
这周末的榜单上肯定有此人的壹席之位了。
He’ll surely secure a spot on this weekend’s rankings.
逐银随意瞟了两眼，转头看向屏幕画面。上面几乎所有画面都显示著壹个地方，只不过这些画面主体的视角稍有差别，就像同壹个赛场的不同观众视角。
Ju Yin Chase gave the text a casual glance, then turned to look at the screen. Nearly every monitor displayed the same location, albeit with slight differences in perspective, like various spectator angles at a single arena.
它们显现的这片土地相比于失频之地永远荒芜的暗沈，要生机勃勃得许多。
The land depicted on them was far more vibrant and lively compared to the ever-bleak darkness of the Shibin Wastes.
而且它们都关注著壹块山下的邋遢营地。
And they all focused on a shabby camp at the foot of a mountain.
壹个浑身散发著恐怖气息的怪物正在与人交战。还被封印行动的他仅凭控制植物就让外界的人被动逃窜。
A monster exuding an aura of terror was locked in combat with someone. Although its movements were still sealed, merely by controlling plants, it forced those outside into a panicked retreat.
「那是，杨子藏？」
“Is that… Yang Zicang?”
逐银细看了下那个半透明地块外的身影，还真是杨子藏！
Ju Yin Chase took a closer look at the figure outside that semi-transparent patch of land—it really was Yang Zicang!
他脸色壹喜，这小子真没让自己失望，在这里意味著名气肯定会上升，这礼拜应该也稳了！
His face lit up with delight; the kid hadn’t let him down. Being here meant his reputation was sure to rise, making this week look stable too!
只是…他看向身旁的打字机，上面并没有杨子藏的名字。
But… he glanced at the typewriter beside him, and Yang Zicang’s name was nowhere on it.
房间中人轻声惊呼。逐银看去，只见那怪物挥拳砸在地块边缘的屏障上，壹拳又壹拳，让半透明的边界不断抖动，上面闪动的折线越来越慢。
A soft gasp escaped someone in the room. Ju Yin Chase turned to look as the monster punched the barrier at the edge of the land patch again and again, each blow making the semi-transparent boundary tremble violently, the flickering fold lines on its surface growing slower and slower.
「老大，刚才这家伙好牛啊，妳没看见，他偷袭那月影怪物，将那家伙壹枪就从上倒下插穿了。」
“Boss, that guy was incredible just now. You didn’t see it—he ambushed that moon-shadow monster and speared it clean through from top to bottom with a single shot.”
「贯穿了？」
“Pierced through?”
「他的两个脑袋原本只有壹个，它们是被那家伙给劈出来的。」
“His two heads originally formed one, but that guy cleaved them out of him with a strike.”
逐银凑拢了屏幕，怪物身上的确有受伤的痕迹，而且这两颗头居然是被枪刺穿成两半后所长出，这让逐银表情凝重。
Ju Yin Chase leaned in closer to the screen. Injuries were clearly visible on the monster’s body, and those two heads had indeed grown after being split in half by the spear thrust. This realization made his expression turn grave.
「又发现它们的新能力了。」逐银道。
“We’ve discovered another new ability of theirs,” Ju Yin Chase said.
椅子上的工作人员们点点头，壹人道：「月影怪物亲口说，他获得了新的血脉。」
The staff members in the chairs nodded, and one said, “The Moon Shadow Monster himself said he gained a new bloodline.”
逐银感觉头皮壹麻。
Ju Yin Chase felt a shiver run through his scalp.
他胸前Moexl展现，射向虚空。
The Moxel on his chest manifested, shooting toward the void.
……
另壹边，杨子藏不断跟莫里和波波利联系，却两人都没有反应。
On the other side, Yang Zicang kept trying to contact Morris and Bopoli, but neither responded.
咬牙在心中将两个猪头骂了顿，眼看那片区域即将突破压制，真实出现在这世界，杨子藏决定展开投资Moexl。
Gritting his teeth, he silently cursed the two pig-headed fools. Watching as that region was about to break through its suppression and manifest in this world, Yang Zicang decided to activate the InvestMoxel.
希望在这鸟不拉屎的地方，能筹集到应战的时序！
He hoped, in this godforsaken place, to scrape together enough Chronos for a response!
但就在这时，逐银的心灵链接到来。
But just then, Ju Yin Chase’s Syn-Link arrived.
「来得正好啊，副镇长。」杨子藏精神壹振。
“Perfect timing, Director Futown,” Yang Zicang said, his spirits lifting.
｛别想套他的话，子藏，对面那个应该是【校正官】。｝
{Don’t let him rope you in, ZiCang. The one on the other side should be a [Justiceer].}
「校正官？那是什么。先别说了，给我投资，不对，妳别投，快去叫醒莫里。」
“Justiceer? What the hell is that? Never mind that for now—just give me Invest. No, forget it—don’t invest anything. Go wake up Morris!”
他有点不放心逐银的操作。
He wasn’t entirely confident in Ju Yin Chase’s moves.
另壹端的逐银让人去敲莫里的房门。
On the other end, Ju Yin Chase sent someone to knock on Morris’s door.
｛校正官，就是月之投影们面对最优秀应选者时，所诞生的新身份。他们会觉醒很多关于他们世界的记忆或者知识，在这里获得如同真实生命。｝
{A Justiceer is a new identity born when Moon Shadows face the most exceptional Elect. They awaken many memories or knowledge about their world, becoming as real as true life here.}
「那又如何。」
“So what?”
｛不能让他们将过去的信息带进这里。｝
{We can’t let them bring information from the past into this place.}
……
秦蒙痛苦的捂著头，他的身躯苍老了许多，正努力通过黯淡不少的Moexl压制那个地块，可无论如何也阻止不了它逐渐清晰的地貌。
Chin Mong clutched his head in agony, his body aged considerably as he struggled to suppress that landmass through the significantly dimmed Moxel, yet he could not prevent its rapidly clarifying topography no matter what.
砰砰！
Bang! Bang!
怪物壹拳砸碎窜动在地块隔膜上的折线，地块的抑制终于消失，校正官壹步跨出地块，瞳孔旁闪动出圆形光环。
The monster smashed the zigzag lines writhing on the landmass’s membrane with a single punch, finally erasing the suppression. Justiceer stepped out of the landmass in one stride, with a circular halo flickering beside its pupil.
杨子藏只觉得还在远处的画面突然就出现在身前。
Yang Zicang only felt that the scene, still distant a moment ago, had suddenly appeared right in front of him.
闪动著寒光的钢爪嗖地抓向自己头颅。
The steel claws, gleaming with cold light, swiped toward his head in a flash.
[调度！]
[DISPATCH!]
能力作用于对方，那手臂却只是微弱摇摆，并未改变多少轨迹，千钧壹发之际杨子藏凭借武技修习出的本能扭转身形躲过。
The ability acted on the opponent, but the arm only wobbled faintly, barely altering its trajectory. In the nick of time, Yang Zicang relied on his martial instincts honed through training to twist his body and dodge.
逐银的声音出现在心中。
Ju Yin Chase’s voice echoed in his mind.
｛妳跟它交流的信息，事关世界底层真相，妳们的言辞对于世界的走向会形成很大变化。｝
{The information you exchanged with it touches upon the fundamental truths of the world, and your words will significantly shape the course of the world.}
杨子藏眼睛猛地壹张。
Yang Zicang’s eyes suddenly shot wide open.
先前的梦境画面不由浮现。
The earlier dream scene involuntarily came to mind.
——不要成为这里的主人。
—Don’t become the master here.
——他们在注视。
—They are watching.
轰隆！
Boom!
杨子藏翻滚著后跃而出，他原先站立的地方已经发生大爆炸，校正官的身影从烟雾中走出，两颗头颅全部注视在杨子藏身上。
Yang Zicang flipped and leaped backward, rolling away. The spot where he had stood exploded violently. Justiceer stepped out of the smoke, both of its heads fixed on Yang Zicang.
「妳的心不够专注，这样的战斗态度，如何在时光流转中继续变强。」
“Your mind is not focused enough. With such a combat attitude, how can you continue to grow stronger as time flows?”
竟然真的发出真实的声音，语言也变成了汉语，他学会了自己的语言？
It actually emitted a real voice, and the language had even become Chinese. Had he learned his own language?
远处几人看著这几乎瞬移般的东西出现，皆骇然无比，要是他突然出现在自己身前该怎么办。
The few people in the distance stared in horror at this thing that had appeared almost instantaneously, all of them terrified at the thought of what they would do if it suddenly appeared before them.
「世界竟然被他们弄成了这副模样。」怪物身上的憎恶威压消减许多，而多出了些许人类情感。
“The world has actually been turned into this state by them.” The monster’s aura of hateful oppression diminished considerably, replaced by a trace of human emotion.
「妳到底…」杨子藏忍住了询问的冲动，这憋屈的感觉让他难受无比。
“What exactly do you…” Yang Zicang suppressed his urge to inquire, the stifling sensation leaving him profoundly uncomfortable.
「想知道吗？我告诉妳。」
“Want to know? I’ll tell you.”
｛不要问！如果当下终会成为过往，这壹切又有何益！｝
{Don’t ask! If the present is destined to become the past, what benefit would any of this bring?}
杨子藏猛地擡头。
Yang Zicang abruptly looked up.
校正官两个头颅的嘴都扯起难以言喻的笑容，对眼前的青年既带著不屑，又有几分难以掩盖的怅然。
The mouths on Justiceer’s two heads twisted into an indescribable smile, carrying both disdain for the young man before him and a measure of unconcealable melancholy.
「不用妳说！」杨子藏喊道。
“I don’t need you to say it!” Yang Zicang shouted.
白影念龙携带赫赫金辉冲来，校正官身影快速拉出残影，躲过它的攻击的同时双手再次拍合，扯出暗金色的十字星芒，展现波纹力场。
Paleshade Wyrm charged forward wreathed in blazing golden light. Justiceer’s figure quickly blurred into afterimages, dodging its attack while snapping his hands together again, conjuring a dark-golden cross-shaped radiance that manifested a ripple force field.
嘭地壹声，地面上炸开出晃动四散的能量与泥土残影。
With a bang, the ground erupted, scattering churning energy and muddled afterimages of earth and soil in all directions.
[我知晓了三种对应不同防御能力的力场。]
[I have come to understand three types of force fields corresponding to different levels of defense.]
杨子藏猛地咬牙，他脚下用力往后壹蹬，身体已冲向空中的姿态飞跃而起，射向他后方。
Yang Zicang gritted his teeth fiercely, pushed off the ground with a burst of strength, and his body launched into a soaring leap, hurtling backward through the air.
嘭！
Bang!
[我已抵消1000N.]
[I have neutralized 1000N.]
趁著对方躲避的间隙，杨子藏已落地窜出了十多米，并不断拉开两者距离。
Seizing the moment as the foe evaded, Yang Zicang landed and shot over ten meters away, steadily increasing the distance between them.
他扭头看向后方，几十米外的怪物脸上露出笑容。
He twisted his neck to look behind—dozens of meters away, a grin spread across the monster’s face.
「妳看见，我来到。」
“You see, I arrive.”
怪物淡淡的道。随后杨子藏再次发现怪物自然而然出现在了自己的视线中，就像普通人能看清人的距离。
The monster said calmly. Then Yang Zicang once again found the monster naturally materializing within his field of vision, as if it were an ordinary person within a discernable distance.
这就是他能够快速出现在身前的能力！
This was its ability—to instantly appear right before him!
它壹抓挥出金辉，瞬间眼前出现无数爪影。
It swung a claw wreathed in golden brilliance, instantly unleashing a mirage of countless claw shadows before his eyes.
[沈吟之夜！]
[Silent Night!]
杨子藏双目壹闭，身体往后壹仰，躲过爪影。
Yang Zicang shut his eyes, arched his body backward, and dodged the onslaught of claw-shadow.
「为什么要说个不停，我不是告诉了妳，我不想听吗！」
“Why do you keep babbling? Didn’t I tell you—I don’t want to hear it!”
嗡~突然出现的长枪自怪物背后袭去.
Hum~ A Lance materialized abruptly, striking at the monster from behind.
有过吃亏经验的怪物怎会在同样的偷袭中栽两次。
Having tasted defeat once, how could the monster fall for the same ambush twice?
他身体急转，侧身而过。长枪随著势头的减弱而逐渐走低，刺入泥土。
Its body spun sharply, sidestepping the blow. The Lance, its momentum waning, arced low and plunged into the earth.
「不错，有念力攻击，有灵巧的格斗技，新的三基础中妳已具备两个，难怪会让我获得新的血脉，来校正妳的未来。」
“Not bad. You possess both psychic attacks and nimble combat techniques—two of the new three fundamentals. No wonder you’ve allowed me to acquire a new bloodline to rectify your future.”
