寰宇蝗灾 Swarm Disaster

巡猎Ⅰ The Hunt I

模拟宇宙: 你静待在原地,渴望跟上岚的速度。但时间缓慢流逝…什么也没发生。

Simulated Universe: You wait in place, hoping you can keep up with Lan. As time slowly slips by, nothing happens.

黑塔: 「忘了告诉你,岚在这时还没出现。」黑塔开始拨自己头上的花,一片一片地扯,「『繁育』陨落是很久以前的事,远早于岚的诞生。」

Herta: "I've forgotten to tell you that Lan hadn't emerged at this period." Herta starts plucking out the flowers on her head one by one as she continues, "The fall of the Propagation took place a long time ago. It was way earlier than Lan's birth."

  • 所以祂和这事无关? So Lan has nothing to do with this matter?

黑塔: 「显然。」黑塔开始敷衍,「不过你也不会白费力气,模拟宇宙可能会推演出一些历史上不存在的命途痕迹。虽然祂不会来了…」

Herta: "Obviously so." Herta explains perfunctorily, "Your effort won't go to waste, as the Simulated Universe might reveal some traces of the Path that aren't recorded in history. Still, Lan won't be coming..."

模拟宇宙: 祂不会来了!这句话侵入你的脑海,被你反复咀嚼。祂不会来了!它来回闪烁…你感到自己像吞下镇静药剂一般知觉失调。接着!黑塔的声音渐渐被拉远,胡作非为的意象在你的脑中乱窜……

Simulated Universe: "Lan won't be coming..." You ruminate over this as the words invade your mind. The thought flashes all over, throwing your senses off-balance as though you have just downed a bottle of sedative. Next, Herta's voice gradually fades away while chaotic and delusional images wreak havoc in your brain...

模拟宇宙: 祂不会来了…你还是渴望见到祂?向宇宙祈祷吧,三秒之后,或许你可以……

Simulated Universe: THEY won't be coming... but you still long to meet THEM. Make a prayer to the universe, and you might see THEM in three seconds...

模拟宇宙: 你睁开双眼,却发现自己身在一片绚丽的画廊中央!趁着蓝皮肤的老头史学家出门,你那积蓄已久——渴望更加迅捷的巡猎信仰压制了其他的躁动,你迅速吸取了无数图画,它们像春天的剖面一样变换着花瓣的颜色…意象的王国在加速流动的时空里愈筑愈高。

Simulated Universe: You open your eyes and find yourself in the middle of a colorful gallery! While the blue-skinned elderly historian is out, your long-accumulated desire for greater swiftness in The Hunt overpowers your other impulses. You quickly absorb numerous paintings, their petals changing colors like the cross-section of spring... The imaginary kingdom grows stronger in the accelerated flow of time.

模拟宇宙: 穿过图画,感官对知识的索取如同狂热的欲望一般加速。直觉像鲜艳的螃蟹爬过你的脑海,最终你在那幅最疯狂的、散发着怪异色彩的贡多拉前停下了。在虚与实的边界中,你甚至有献祭自我的冲动,寻找「繁育」陨落的真相……

Simulated Universe: Moving through the paintings, your senses' demand for knowledge elevates to a burning desire, and your intuition creeps through your brain like a brightly-colored crab. At last, you stop before the craziest painting of a gondola in odd colors. In the boundary between the virtual and the real, you even feel the urge to sacrifice yourself in return for the truth behind the fall of the Propagation...

  • …祂为什么一定要死? ...Why did THEY have to die?

模拟宇宙: 你凭借巡猎的直觉找到了答案所在的那一页——是概念的膨胀!祂的子嗣吞噬了太多食物…祂毁坏了宇宙「秩序」…祂威胁了世间「均衡」…祂拦住了「开拓」的道路…

Simulated Universe: With The Hunt's instinct, you find the page with the answer — it is the expansion of concepts! THEIR descendants have gobbled up too much food... THEY have disrupted the Order of the universe... THEY have threatened the Equilibrium of the universe... THEY have blocked the way of the Trailblaze...

模拟宇宙: 这…都是祂的罪。

Simulated Universe: These... are THEIR sins.

  • …好吧,但我还是想见岚。 ...Fine then, but I still want to see Lan.

黑塔: 「说了这不可能。」黑塔耸了耸鼻子,「除非我把祂的出生日期用修改器强行调一下。但这还有什么意义?」

Herta: "I've told you that isn't possible." Herta scrunches her nose and adds, "Unless I change THEIR date of birth with the modifier, but what's the point in doing so?"

存护Ⅰ Preservation I

阮•梅: 「根据你的脑前额叶活动,多巴胺会在三秒后大量涌入——你熟悉的家伙要来了。」阮•梅只陈述事实,「但不完全一样。」

Ruan Mei: "Based on your prefrontal cortex's activity, dopamine will be flooding into your brain in three seconds. That familiar experience will come soon, but it will be slightly different this time," Ruan Mei states matter-of-factly.

模拟宇宙: 躁动的意象在你的脑中乱窜…你相信!保护可有多种方式,你的开拓之旅无论以何种姿态,都可以抚慰众生。

Simulated Universe: Chaotic images run rampant in your mind... You believe that protection can take various forms, and your trailblazing expedition, regardless of its form, will bring solace to all beings.

模拟宇宙: 蒸汽浮现,你有种熟悉的感受——更多幽灵生命从黄油中绽开,巨大的城墙下满是虫壳蝶翅的尸骸,那些寰宇灾祸被祂的城墙挡在了外边;更多生灵正在巨大的城墙脚下运土,将它愈筑愈高……

Simulated Universe: As the steam is rising, you experience a familiar sensation. More specters come to live from the butter, and there are heaps of insect carcasses and butterfly wings at the bottom of the fortress. THEIR walls keep the disasters in the universe at bay. Many creatures are toiling away to build the fortress higher and higher.

克里珀: 一点灵感乍现!在雾气里你似乎看到——那从庇佑的土地中汲取万千尘料汇聚而成的庞大身躯!哈,你轻松地明白了:大概是那位模拟的祂要来了!…你似乎都能够听见祂的锤子在地上拖出难以忍受的刮磨声。喔,你嗅了嗅鼻子,却嗅到了异常的气味……

Qlipoth: A spark of inspiration hits you! Amid the steam, you seem to catch a glimpse of the massive body that takes form through the congregation of countless particles and dust from the earth under THEIR protection! Realization dawns on you — the simulated Aeon is coming! You seem to hear the ear-splitting scraping sound of THEM dragging THEIR hammer on the ground. You sniff the air and catch an unusual scent...

克里珀: 你相信这气味是种交流,攀谈者似古老旧友,而祂们的会晤非凡人可以妄想……

Qlipoth: You believe the smell is a form of communication, and the speaker is akin to an old friend of yours.

太一: 天幕上有黯淡的铂金铝片,一只眼睛忽明忽暗…

Ena: In the sky, there are some dull platinum aluminum flakes and a flickering eye...

太一: 一种多变的声音从唇齿间挤出,如同雾气盖住你的耳朵,其间有上亿种调式音程——一个灰蓝色的影子笼罩住你。祂降身下来,友好地拢抱住琥珀王庞大而分散的头颅;祂似乎身形凑近…你终于听清祂的声音,是帝侯兵器同时发出的合音轰鸣,它们在祂身下如光芒般散开——

Ena: A voice that speaks in changing tones comes from between the lips and envelopes your ears like mist. In the meantime, there are 100 million tonal variations, and you are shrouded by a grayish-blue shadow. THEY descend and embrace the massive and scattered head of the Amber Lord. THEY seem to approach you, and you can finally hear THEIR voice clearly. It is a resounding chorus coming from the imperial weapons simultaneously. The weapons spread out beneath THEM like a beam.

太一: 「汝终应吾之邀请…克里珀;搅局者无有规法慎独,其行不将饶恕。」

(♯1 - -·♭6 | ♭6 1· - - | - - - - ‖ ♬ Jme-Clent-A. I. Vadnbg。1635-1942

「掌控嬗变之意志——琥珀王,汝本将重责无当。」

♬" Qecréiat Ineional es mpers"。1894-193

(♯1 - -·♭6 | ♭6 1· - - | - - - - ‖♬

Ena: "You have finally accepted my invitation, Qlipoth. The troublemakers go against the rules. Their actions are unpardonable."

(♯1 - -·♭6 | ♭6 1· - - | - - - - ‖ ♬ Jme-Clent-A. I. Vadnbg. 1635-1942

"Amber Lord, as one that controls the will of transmutation, you bear great responsibility."

♬" Qecréiat Ineional es mpers." 1894-193

(♯1 - -·♭6 | ♭6 1· - - | - - - - ‖♬

黑塔: 「你听见了吗?」黑塔激动地拍起了手,「『秩序』向『存护』发起了邀请!要命,塔伊兹育罗斯是被众神合力置于死地的!克里珀的反应很有趣——看来『秩序』和祂有什么交易,我想八成也跟奥博洛斯相关!凭我对太一的了解,这家伙容忍不了任何『无序』。」

Herta: "Did you hear that?" Herta claps her hands excitedly. "The Order has extended an invitation to the Preservation! Tayzzyronth was put to death by the joint efforts of all Aeons! Qlipoth's response is intriguing. It seems like Qlipoth has a secret deal with the Order, and I'm eighty percent sure it is related to Oroboros! As far as I know about Ena's character, THEY could not tolerate any disorder."

  • 我也想加入祂们的交流! I'd like to join THEIR interaction!

黑塔: 「你当然可以,你是阿基维利,祂们会欢迎你加入的…噢,说不好你才是执棋之人。」黑塔对你眨了眨眼睛,「等你分清了祂们的立场,就加入!但可能也没什么用,毕竟朋友转身就变敌人…而你在这转个身——得花上多少琥珀纪?」

Herta: "By all means. As you are Akivili, THEY will welcome you to join THEM... Oh, you might even be the one that calls the shots." Herta gives you a wink and continues, "Join THEM after figuring out THEIR stances! It probably won't help, as friends can become enemies as you turn around... How many Amber Eras does it take for you to turn around here?"

存护Ⅱ Preservation II

模拟宇宙: 你察觉阮•梅的模拟形象轻盈地翕动着。她正欲言又止地注视一个于推演中生成的含糊剪影:

Simulated Universe: You notice Ruan Mei's virtual image swaying gracefully. She hesitates to speak while gazing at a blurry image generated in the derivation.

模拟宇宙: 那庞大剪影在太阳下只有轮廓被勾勒清楚…祂腕处的琥珀被怒气所聚集!它们震动、跳跃!其轨迹如正指挥巨大石杵巨锤——你看不到更多了。但这只是一个剪影,轮廓的背后理应还有更多、更多的……

Simulated Universe: Only the silhouette of the massive image is outlined clearly under the sun... The Ambers are gathering at the Aeon's wrists due to THEIR rage! The Ambers are shaking and popping, and their trajectories are like a giant hammer that is commanding a huge stone mortar and pestle. You cannot see anything more. There should be more behind the silhouette of the image...

  • 凑近一些。 Get closer.

模拟宇宙: 你伸手抚摸脸颊,似乎什么东西溅到了你的脸上…触觉并不美妙。

Simulated Universe: You reach for the cheeks and feel something splashed onto your face... The sensation isn't pleasant.

模拟宇宙: 你看不清了!你企图动用别的五官…你闭上眼睛开始聆听:祂的巨锤落下,震慑大地的却并非巨响,而是锤下之物毫无生息的呜咽;你又隐约觉得那声音中有种笑声,或是有万种声音的合奏……

Simulated Universe: You can't see it anymore! You try using your other senses... With your eyes closed, you focus on your hearing: The Aeon's giant hammer falls, but what shakes the earth is not the thunderous sound, but the lifeless whimper of the thing that is hammered. From the sound, you hear what sounds like subtle laughter or the symphony of numerous sounds...

模拟宇宙: 你根本无法听懂神的声音!但那里不止一种、两种、三种……!

Simulated Universe: You cannot understand the Aeon's voice! There are more than one, two, or three voices!

模拟宇宙: 此刻,一种异样的感受袭来:你察觉到一个含糊的感受!「繁育」正在被稀释…祂的死亡像淡彩墨水在海的咸味里散开,「存护」正在将祂的碎壳、躯体与心脏剥去…接着还有第二份概念在被抽离…祂正被继续稀释,集群的力量也从崩离中逃离,更多或暴虐、或冷静的力量分解着祂……

Simulated Universe: At that moment, an odd feeling strikes you, and you perceive a subtle sensation! The Propagation is being diluted... THEIR death is similar to a blot of light-colored ink that spreads out in the ocean. The Preservation is stripping the Aeon of THEIR broken shell, body, and heart... Next, the second concept is extracted... The Aeon is being further diluted, and the collective power is escaping from the disintegration. More forces, whether violent or calm, are disintegrating THEM...

克里珀: 这场面令人惊奇:这些太阳也变得奇怪,它比正常星寰下应存在的数量更多、温度更加热烈不堪!你发现…那一柄巨锤上掀起怒气的风暴!

Qlipoth: The scene is a mind-blowing one. The Suns are abnormal, as they are more in number and higher in temperature than normal! You discover that... the giant hammer has conjured up a storm of rage!

克里珀: 壳褶与神音的颤抖在彩色血液四溅下被掩盖,生着獠牙与触角的原初之卵从祂身侧脚旁逃逸、奔流,并在离开祂的躯壳时立刻死去!祂的汁液涂裹大地,盛大的分娩于热烈与死亡之中发生——在众卵禁忌、欢欣的逃散中!

Qlipoth: The trembling of the shell folds and the Aeon's sound is overshadowed by the splattering of colorful blood. The primordial eggs, bearing fangs and antennae, escape and slip away, only to perish immediately upon leaving the Aeon's body! The ground is covered by THEIR fluid, as a grand labor takes place in the middle of fervor and death — amidst the forbidden dispersal and joyous escape of the eggs!

黑塔: 「…离远点,开拓者,你靠得太近…被『存护』影响了。」

Herta: "...Keep your distance, Trailblazer. You'll be affected by the Preservation... should you get too close."

塔伊兹育罗斯: 于蓝绿色的月亮下——辉光渐褪。祂仿佛…正在陨落

Tayzzyronth: The glow wanes beneath the bluish-green moon. THEY seem to be... falling.

阮•梅: 「…」

Ruan Mei: ...

黑塔: 「…」

Herta: ...

黑塔: 「目瞪口呆…你把这份活干得超出预期了…」黑塔按耐不住震惊,却又不敢大声说话,只轻悄悄地,「我们现在只能加载出这一时刻琥珀王的身影!…无所谓,我会记录下这些!」

Herta: "Amazing... Your performance exceeds my expectations..." Herta can barely contain her surprise, but she dares not speak too loud. So, she whispers, "Now, we can only load the image of Amber Lord at this moment! It doesn't matter. I'll record everything."

  • 还有吗? Is there more?

模拟宇宙: 你顺着那巨锤席卷而起的剧烈风暴,触摸到碎裂的白色布料…几片随风而动的拼图…剧烈太阳下模糊的身影宛若庞大静默的雕塑,在这异常强大的压力下…

Simulated Universe: You follow the violent storm conjured up by the giant hammer and come into contact with the tattered white cloth... There are several puzzle pieces that sway with the wind... Under the blazing sun, the blurry figure resembles a massive and silent statue. Under the immense pressure...

模拟宇宙: …你无法靠近祂们,只能静默地跪拜。终于,你意识到,这就是那一刻…你只能捕捉到符号的些微颤动,洒落到实在界,如同幽灵;而凡人实在无法辨认,听不懂神的语言,连神的锤声与呜咽声也无法分清。

Simulated Universe: ...You can't get close to THEM, so you can only kneel in silence. Finally, you realize this is the moment... You can only capture the slightest fluttering of the symbols when THEY are spilled into the realm of reality like specters. Mortals simply cannot discern or comprehend the language of gods. THEY can't even distinguish the sound of a god's hammer and whimpering.

虚无Ⅰ Nihility I

模拟宇宙: ████你在原地等待着██ █████不仅很困████████████████并且什么也没有发生████████████████。

Simulated Universe: ████You are waiting in place.██ █████You feel sleepy,████████████████ yet nothing happens████████████████.

阮•梅: 「起床。」阮•梅言简意赅,她示意黑塔该让你起床。

Ruan Mei: "Wake up," Ruan Mei speaks straightforwardly, signaling Herta to wake you up.

黑塔: 「我就一会儿没看着…你的脑电波已经画成zzZ的形状了。」黑塔不耐烦地把自己接入进来,「模拟宇宙有这么无聊?确实有点。不过恭喜你,由于你太懒,反而在虚无命途上突飞猛进。就在这儿等祂,不过你得小心,万一祂把系统某个按键吞没,你就没法玩了。」

Herta: "I was only away for a short while, and the chart of your brainwaves already showed the zzZ." Sounding irritated, Herta connects herself to the Simulated Universe. "Is the Simulated Universe really that boring? It can be, but I must congratulate you, as you have made great progress on the Path of Nihility thanks to your laziness. Still, you need to be careful. If the Aeon swallows one of the buttons of the system, that will end your journey."

  • 模拟宇宙确实很无聊! The Simulated Universe bores me to death!

黑塔: 「你可以自己上。等你加入天才俱乐部,我就把斯蒂芬踢了。」黑塔摊手。

Herta: "You can do this on your own. Wait till you join the Genius Society, I'll kick Stephen out." Herta shrugs.

模拟宇宙: 一种强烈的困意席卷了你…这种空虚像失恋后的第一个清晨。

Simulated Universe: A strong wave of lethargy washes over you... The emptiness feels like the first morning after a breakup.

应当是第一个清晨?还是第二个?你的脑海有些混沌不清。你已经分不清过往的一切是想象,还是切实发生过的——那些杏仁香的苦涩味道无处不在,游戏的快乐也无法盖过它。接着,████████……连你的手指也█████……███渐渐变得沉重……

This should be the first dawn? Or the second? Your brain is a little addled. You can no longer tell if everything in the past was an imagination or actual occurrences — That almond-scented bitterness is everywhere, and even the joy of gaming cannot overtake it. Then, ████████... Even your fingers █████... ███ gradually grow heavier...

Ⅸ: ……████████……███████████……

IX: ...████████... ███████████...

Ⅸ: █████████哪怕感受到███、祂████████████的出现██████████你也无力再█████████。

IX: █████████Although you can feel ███, the Aeon's ████████████ ██████████appearance, you can hardly █████████.

黑塔: 「出什么事了?」黑塔说,「你怎么像睡着了一样?噢,难道Ⅸ又来了?快离远点!」

Herta: "What's going on?" Herta asks. "Why do you seem to be asleep? Oh, is IX here again? Stay away from it!"

模拟宇宙: 你还没有反应过来,黑塔的声音开始变得渐渐扭曲……

Simulated Universe: You have yet to come to senses, and Herta's voice starts becoming distorted...

黑塔: 「我敢断定,这家伙完全、彻底在状况外。Ⅸ能有什么理由在乎塔伊兹育罗斯?」黑塔说,「但是开拓者,你得赶快脱身。你以为在模拟宇宙里摸鱼没有代价?祂刚刚肯定出现过,让你的一部分神经失去了知觉,你别被Ⅸ吞没了——」

Herta: "I'm sure IX doesn't know what it's doing. Does IX have any reason to care about Tayzzyronth?" Herta adds, "But, you need to get out of the place quickly, Trailblazer. Do you think you can slack off in the Simulated Universe without paying the price? The Aeon must have appeared just now and made some of your nerves go numb. Don't be swallowed by IX..."

记忆Ⅰ Remembrance I

模拟宇宙: 你听到什么了?很多声音涌入了你的脑海。

Simulated Universe: What can you hear? All kinds of sounds are surging into your brain.

模拟宇宙: 你按捺下躁动的心跳,仔细倾听;这声音存在一些疑点:它们像动物、植物与婴儿在哭,却又异常成熟。而这啼哭的生命并未获得关心…无人在意它们即将凋零的命运。多只无形的手于虚空中收集捕捞…那些跳跃的影子于半空中闪烁。

Simulated Universe: You steady your heartbeat and listen carefully to the odd sounds. They sound like animals, plants, and babies crying, but with a hint of maturity. The crying creatures fail to get any attention... No one cares about them although they are dying. Multiple invisible arms are collecting and capturing them in the void... Those moving shadows flicker in mid-air.

模拟宇宙: 怪声音…但浮黎在哪里?细碎的声音被海潮声掩盖,你突然发现自己置身在海洋中!这是一片红色的海洋……

Simulated Universe: The odd sounds... Where is Fuli? As the delicate and intermittent sounds are drowned out by the sound of waves, you find yourself in the middle of the ocean! It is a sea of red...

奥博洛斯: 没错,红色的!在赭红太阳的映照下,这片海洋变成了红色的!这一阵曼妙歌声,如同诱惑从剧烈海潮声中袭来…祂是在引你上勾,制造腴美的饵料。那生着獠牙、触角的脖颈如同山肉片海,蠕动的肉料反而要将你吞噬。

Oroboros: Yes, it's red! Under the scarlet sun, the ocean turns red! A beautiful and alluring singing voice comes from the choppy waves toward you... It is the Aeon's bait to lure you into a trap. The fanged and tentacled neck is as massive as the mountain and the sea, and its writhing flesh threatens to devour you.

奥博洛斯: 你知道那一粒粒跳动的紫焰并不是抚平焦虑的救赎,但你忍不住跌入灯笼诱歌般的温柔中。祂当真是头汹涌的古兽!——并非是曼妙的、旧日铜蓝的、带有海潮般凶猛力量的爱人。你要用理智抵挡这种声音。但你又忍不住…你真的忍不住…想被祂吃掉……

Oroboros: You know the flickering purple flames are not the antidote that can alleviate your anxiety, but you can't help being drawn to the gentle singing voice. The Aeon is an outright brutal Leviathan! It isn't a charming lover as powerful as the waves. You must resist the voice, but you just can't help it... You can't help... hoping to be eaten by THEM...

  • ——贪饕的星神?! Aeon of Voracity!?

黑塔: 「停!我把模拟宇宙暂停了。贪饕的星神居然会在这里出现!」黑塔给你弹了个脑瓜崩,「离远点,别被吞进去了,奥博洛斯可不会绕着你——祂的嘴好大!我得再观赏一下。」

Herta: "Stop! I have paused the Simulated Universe. I didn't expect the Aeon of Voracity to be here!" Herta flicks your forehead and warns, "Stay away from THEM so that you won't be eaten. Oroboros isn't going to go around you. What a massive mouth THEY have! Let me admire it again."

模拟宇宙: 你的思绪被牵回。奥博洛斯的巨口吞下无数星球时,「记忆」的片段分成无数碎片涌入你的脑海:这是种浩瀚的诞育,有着万众哀嚎和吼叫声…是你听到的那些细碎的声音!

Simulated Universe: Your mind is pulled back to reality. When Oroboros is swallowing countless planets with their massive mouth, the clips of Remembrance split into endless fragments and flood your brain. It is a grand birth, accompanied by the wailing and roaring of all beings... They are the delicate and intermittent sounds you heard earlier!

黑塔: 「看起来虫潮在宇宙蔓延最盛时,『贪饕』奥博洛斯也张开了巨口——祂不仅吞下了无数塔伊兹育罗斯的子嗣,还吞下了无数世界!『繁育』和『贪饕』…听着就像一对冤家。」

Herta: "Seems like Oroboros the Voracity opened THEIR mouth when the spreading of the Swarm reached its peak in the universe. Not only did Oroboros devour countless heirs of Tayzzyronth, but THEY also swallowed numerous worlds! The Propagation and the Voracity... THEY sound like arch-enemies to me."

黑塔: 「还有『记忆』…真是奇怪,明明没有见到浮黎,却有无数记忆涌进了你的脑子。有人说『记忆』的命途正是在这一浩劫中出现的,为了留存诸星消亡的瞬间,倒是很合理——但太合理了,反而像虚构史学家编的。无论如何,我有点儿来兴致了。」

Herta: "And the Remembrance... Strangely, the memory fragments flood your brain even though there's no sight of Fuli. Now, it seems reasonable why some claim that the Path of Remembrance came about during this catastrophe to preserve the moment of the stars' demise. Yet, it is so reasonable that it sounds like it is made up by some History Fictionologist. Anyway, I'm intrigued."

记忆Ⅱ Remembrance II

模拟宇宙: 以经验为尘料,对其揉合再造、创造的另一重境界谓之想象;而尘料本身的渐次消退却成为记忆。你的记忆时常存在疑点:回头望去,数百个琥珀纪前发生的事——你正在遍历。

Simulated Universe: The realm created by blending and recreating dust formed by your experience is called the imagination. When the dust fades, it becomes your memory, which often is unreliable. Looking back, you are going through events that took place hundreds of Amber Eras ago.

模拟宇宙: 此刻,还有很多闪回如胶卷般在你面前穿梭:在那灾虐五纪的祸患中,「繁育」与「贪饕」争斗不休——

Simulated Universe: Numerous flashbacks are playing in your mind like a film reel — the Propagation and the Voracity fought incessantly during the calamity that spanned five eras.

奥博洛斯: 祂的面容从海潮中升起,更多信徒的故事涌入——那是一只因信神而病入膏肓的凶兽,它伴着躁动的鼓点与奏曲,途经圣辉恍若星芒下的港湾,再次浮现于土地之上。那一枚掉落的鳞片被供至古国圣殿,彼时天鼓击声,彩灯下坠,一种力从骨骸中四溢,亡者呓语化作尘埃散开,两位乞讨者于街头敲起古碗,遮天蔽日的虫潮扑来纠缠撕咬,争斗中三声哀嚎如雷鸣炸开。

Oroboros: Oroboros's face rises from the waves, as more stories of THEIR believers inundate your mind. It is a ferocious beast that falls gravely sick due to its belief in the Aeon. Along with the lively drum beats and songs, the beast passes by a harbor beneath the glow of holy radiance, once again emerging upon the land. Its fallen scale is consecrated in a temple of the Primeval Imperium. Amid the resounding drum beats, the lanterns fall, a force overflows from the bones, and the murmurs of the deceased scatter like dust. Two beggars knock their ancient bowls on the street, while a relentless swarm engulfs and bites them. During the grapple, three agonized wails explode like thunder.

奥博洛斯: 弄兽人起舞,以脚腕与趾尖勾勒方向,顺那一抹光芒,合唱者被潮水淹没后失语, 兄弟丢下桂冠后拥抱泣涕,然则世间更多哀亡,被吞没时更是悄声无息——接着,那头凶兽吸下虫潮时终于将盛怒止休,它如吞吐哀怒轻烟,身披彩宝鳞甲,仰头跳升向天空,却发出坠于海中的浪潮声。

Oroboros: The beastmaster dances and controls his movements with his ankles and toes following the streak of light. The choir members fall silent after being drowned by the tide, and the brothers cast aside their crowns and embrace each other in tears. Yet, more deaths have taken place in the world, and most of them happened in silence. The ferocious beast takes in the swarm next, finally putting an end to the Furor. It exhales the smoke of fury and is clad in colorful armor. With its head held high, it leaps to the sky and disappears. Only the sound of it plunging into the waves can be heard.

奥博洛斯: ……但茫茫中,祂并不知晓,宇宙间不堪并逐渐升级的混乱尽在秩序「太一」的眼中。

Oroboros: ...Unbeknownst to the Aeon, Ena the Order is observing the devastating and escalating chaos in the universe.

  • 让我摸摸祂的嘴。 Let me touch THEIR mouth.

奥博洛斯: 你正犹豫该摸哪一只*嘴*…却恍惚间听见几个饱嗝,一些气息吐露到你脸上……

Oroboros: When you are thinking about which mouth to touch, you seem to hear a few burps and sense someone's breath on your face...

浮黎: 一切咻地一下猛然暂停!寒气突然逼迫到你的额前,宇宙某处的闪点中,祂棱镜般的面容从浓缩的原点里突然诞育——

Fuli: Everything comes to an abrupt halt! Frosty air presses against your forehead. From a sparkling spot in the universe, THEIR prism-like face is suddenly born in a condensed origin...

浮黎: 祂从一个光点中突然演变成巨物,构成祂的片段凝固、倒转,接着平行、靠拢、交错;祂像一个镜子质感的口香糖瞬间膨胀。这是一瞬间的事:众多星系轰然倒塌毁灭。你惊愕万分,但你似乎揣摩到其意味所在:诸星正在坍塌消亡,而芸芸众生的祈愿——众消逝的记忆却正在凝结。

Fuli: From a bright spot, THEY suddenly transform into a giant entity, the segments of which solidify, reverse, align, converge, and intertwine with each other. THEY expand in an instant like a mirror-like piece of gum. In the blink of an eye, numerous star systems collapse and crumble. You are dumbfounded, but you seem to be able to grasp its significance: The stars are collapsing, while the collective aspirations of countless beings — the vanishing memories — are crystallizing.

祂的气息扑在你的脸上,祂的声音变成了一群哭泣的伶人。

THEIR scent wafts over your face and THEIR voice changes into a chorus of weeping Mourning Actors.

浮黎: 歌语对抗饕餮消亡交错哀语由衷捕捞沙王记忆海面背处子嗣吞噬搏斗伶人虚空倒转旧影撰写

Fuli: Songs, battles, ravenous hunger, elimination, interaction, wailing, genuineness, capturing, the Sand King, memories, back of the ocean, heirs, devouring, fighting, actors, the emptiness, reverse, old shadows, writing.

浮黎: 祂的音节令你浑身震颤,那些声音分裂成不同的人格,讲述着不同的故事。

Fuli: THEIR syllables leave you trembling. Those voices split into different personalities, each telling a different story.

浮黎: 更多人生的闪回爬上你的前额叶!你突然获得众多在跌入虚无前被捕捞起的记忆!祂…希望你保存这些珍贵的记忆?但又是一刹那,所有的记忆都被同时按下了关机键——咻的一下,结束。你突然清醒:记忆断带如祂的消失般毫无征兆。

Fuli: More flashbacks of your life creep into your prefrontal cortex! Suddenly, you retrieve many memories captured before you fall into the Nihility! Does the Aeon... want you to preserve these precious memories? In a split second, all memories are gone like someone has pressed the shut-down button. You gain lucidity at once, and your memories disconnect without any warning just like the Aeon's disappearance.

黑塔: 「原来如此…不可思议!」黑塔说,「不可思议!你看到了吗?那些记忆的浓缩——可惜这些记忆明显不属于这一时期。是哪里出了错,还能再精细一点吗?喔!再试试找祂?」

Herta: "I see... This is unbelievable!" Herta exclaims, "Unbelievable! Did you see the condensation of the memories? It's a shame that these memories do not belong to this period. What went wrong? Are there any more details? Oh! How about we try looking for the Aeon again?"

黑塔: 但回应你们的只有亘久的静止…黑塔耸了耸鼻子。「找不到了…记忆碎片对模拟宇宙来说可能太多了。这可是整个宇宙的历史!可怕的浮黎,祂令多少『记忆』得以留存?」

Herta: Resounding silence is the only response you two receive... Herta scrunches her nose and says, "They can no longer be found... The memory fragments might be too many for the Simulated Universe to handle. They contain the entire history of the universe! Fuli is terrifying. How many memories have THEY preserved?"

毁灭Ⅰ Destruction I

一种纯粹的「仇恨」突然涌现。你打量着身边的芸芸众生:这些该受审的「罪名」…欺诈者、双面性的背叛、彻头彻尾的虚伪,以及无知的狂妄……

A pure kind of "Hatred" suddenly manifests. You take in the crowd around you. These "crimes" that should be judged... deceivers, two-faced betrayal, absolute hypocrisy, and ignorant egotism...

模拟宇宙: 你在原地等待——直到攻击的欲望平息下来。你相信你也懂得暴力美学…躁动的杀戮欲望会逐渐膨胀,你渴望与所有你恨的事物再次相逢。

Simulated Universe: You wait in place until your desire to attack subsides. You believe you understand the art of violence... Your desire to kill will grow over time, and you yearn to encounter the things you hate again.

  • 是,我恨我的家庭。 Yes, I hate my family.

模拟宇宙: 至少你有家,不是吗?这使你不会被「虚无」吞没。

Simulated Universe: At least you have a family, isn't it? Because of that, you won't be engulfed by the Nihility.

模拟宇宙: 但强烈的战斗渴望永远不会被浇灭!你突然觉得为了「毁灭」的「开拓」也不错…

Simulated Universe: However, your burning desire to fight will never be dampened! You suddenly find the idea of Trailblazing for the sake of Destruction to be acceptable...

阮•梅: 「这是在做什么?」她皱眉,「我培育的宇宙土壤十分稳定,我想毁灭不可能会出现在这里。」

Ruan Mei: "What are you doing?" Ruan Mei frowns. "The soil of the universe I cultivate is very stable. I believe Destruction will never appear here."

黑塔: 「噢…我想看开拓者的内心戏。」黑塔耸了耸鼻子,十分整蛊,「纳努克是最年轻的星神,当然不可能和寰宇蝗灾有关!要是反物质军团也掺和进这场浩劫…天,想都不敢想。」

Herta: "Oh... I'd really love to see what's on Trailblazer's mind." Herta scrunches her nose mischievously. "Nanook is the youngest Aeon, so they can't possibly have anything to do with the Swarm Disaster! I don't even dare imagine the Antimatter Legion becoming part of this disaster..."

毁灭Ⅱ Destruction II

黑塔: 「这会儿没有纳努克。」黑塔不是很快乐,「那我们还走毁灭命途干嘛,就为了狠狠打碎那些可破坏物?——都寰宇蝗灾了,还惦记你那可破坏物呢?」

Herta: "If there's no Nanook in this time period," Herta sounds upset as she continues, "then why are we still taking the Path of Destruction? Just to break those destructible objects? Swarm Disaster is going on! There's no time for those destructible objects of yours!"

阮•梅: 「嘘…」阮•梅把指尖凑近唇语,周围突然安静。

Ruan Mei: "Shh..." Ruan Mei places her finger on her lips, and the surroundings fall silent at once.

阮•梅: 你刚想把话接下去,却感到周围的气温骤低——你感到自己被一种古老的威严震慑,手脚突然被不可视的、如游丝般的细线吊起,仿佛有人在将你当作木偶操弄。

Ruan Mei: As you are about to speak, you feel a sudden dip in your surrounding temperature and the intimidation of an ancient authority. All of a sudden, your limbs are suspended by invisible strings, as though someone is manipulating you like a puppet.

太一: 祂的指节轻轻触动,拨动宇宙秩序千丝万缕。你躁动不安的破坏欲骤然止息…你并不确定,祂对你的安抚究竟是出自爱护,还是出于剧烈的、无可遏止的「秩序」?

Ena: The gentle movement of THEIR fingertips rattles the intricate order of the universe, causing your strong urge to destroy to come to a sudden halt... You are unsure whether THEY placate you out of love or out of an intense and unstoppable desire for "Order."

太一: 你看向祂——祂也同样看着你……

Ena: You look at THEM, and THEY look at you...

黑塔: 「哇——」黑塔两眼发光,像看到钻石,「是『秩序』太一,最古老的星神之一。在祂还未陨落的时代,祂的光辉如同珠石一般圣洁!我说什么来着?这会儿没有纳努克!古老的秩序命途压制着众多灾祸——你确定还要再靠近吗?让我推演下祂的声音。好,来了!」

Herta: "Wow!" Herta's eyes gleam as though she has just discovered diamonds. "It's Ena the Order, one of the most ancient Aeons. In the times before THEIR fall, THEIR radiance was as holy as gems! What did I say just now? Nanook had yet to exist in this time! The ancient Path of Order suppressed numerous calamities. Are you sure you want to get even closer? Let me simulate THEIR voice. Okay, THEY are coming!"

太一: 祂的身下有帝国轰鸣,信众轰然发出和声;祂似浮空却身形厚重,其面容有圣歌般的光辉;祂发出的每个字都像有纵向排列的音节,带有或黯淡或富丽的色调。

Ena: Empires thunder beneath the Aeon as the believers roar in harmony. The Aeon appears to float despite THEIR massive and heavy body, and THEIR countenance glows like a sacred hymn. Every word THEY utter sounds like vertically aligned syllables with either a somber or posh tone.

太一: 「亦又是何人制梦牵引,感染嬗变之意志?吾将控制秩序之一切,将搅局者清除出局。」

(♯1 - -·♭6 | ♭6 1· - - | - - - - ‖ ♬ Eme-Clent-J. I. Vadnbg。1935-1942

「扰乱世间者不得存留,贪婪者无应苟活;狡诈多变之混沌,是之为宇宙秽尘废埃也。」

(♯1 - -·♭6 | ♭6 1· - - | - - - - ‖♬ " Secréiat Ineional es mpers"。1894-193

Ena: "Who is the dreammaker that pulls and influences the will of transmutation? I shall keep the Order under complete control and eliminate the troublemakers."

(♯1 - -·♭6 | ♭6 1· - - | - - - - ‖ ♬ Eme-Clent-J. I. Vadnbg. 1935-1942

"The troublemakers shall not remain, and the greedy shall not be spared. The treacherous and fickle chaos is what contaminates the universe."(♯1 - -·♭6 | ♭6 1· - - | - - - - ‖♬ " Secréiat Ineional es mpers." 1894-193

太一: 祂绝对、公正、漂亮,多重音节有如军队般威严,其中藏匿着不容忽视的法则。

Ena: The Aeon is absolute, just, and magnificent. THEIR multiple syllables carrying the solemnity of an army, concealing within THEM a rule that must not be overlooked.

  • 那只眼睛是… That eye is...

模拟宇宙: 你看向祂——祂也同样看着你。

Simulated Universe: You look at THEM, and THEY look at you.

欢愉Ⅰ Elation I

模拟宇宙: 你在原地等待——直至笑声突然出现,你一点也笑不出来。一些火花般的快乐又跳了出来,你甚至怀疑这些快乐长出了手脚,在你身边舞动…你对祂的到来多少有些畏惧,却又感到熟悉——没有谁像祂一样毫不防备、毫无虚伪!

Simulated Universe: You wait in place - until a sudden laughter comes. However, you can't laugh along. Some sparks of joy pop up, and you suspect that they are dancing around you with newly grown limbs... You more or less dread the Aeon's arrival, but it feels familiar to you at the same time. No one else can be as unguarded and unpretentious as THEM!

阿哈: 「阿基维利!」阿哈就这么堂堂正正地出现了,「我的阿基维利!我给你的骰子好玩吗?我要提问:我的骰子有几个面?」

Aha: "Akivili!" Just like that, Aha makes a straightforward appearance. "My dear Akivili! Did you have fun with the die I gave you? Here's my question: How many sides does my die have?"

  • 可是你的骰子是个球。 But your die is spherical.

阿哈: 「回答正确!我想用球把塔伊兹育罗斯砸晕!」

Aha: "That's correct! I want to knock Tayzzyronth out with a ball!"

阿哈: 「我要给你点奖励——来点小把戏怎么样?打烂这个游戏的经济系统,还是立刻送你去见星神?」阿哈开始拍手,「你做选择时最好小心点,不然可能废掉整个账号…难道我这样做很奇怪吗?」

Aha: "Let me give you some rewards. How about we set a trick in motion? Disrupt the economic system of this game, or have me send you to meet the Aeon right away?" Aha starts clapping. "You'd better be careful with your choice, or you might ruin your account... Is it weird for me to do this?"

阿哈: 「我所做一切都是为了帮助太一!」阿哈大笑着拍手,祂的皮球和扑克互相拥抱,「阿哈从来乐于助人,帮助其他神是我的乐趣——」接着祂把目光转移到你身上。

Aha: "Everything I do is to help Ena!" Aha claps while roaring with laughter. THEIR ball and poker cards hug each other. "Aha has always been helpful. It's my pleasure to help other Gods..." Then, Aha turns THEIR gaze to you.

阿哈: 「你不参与进来吗,假阿基维利?不接受我的点子吗,关于『星穹列车』与『塔伊兹育罗斯』。」祂对你的凝视带着令人毛骨悚然的笑意。

Aha: "Aren't you gonna join the fun, fake Akivili? Don't you want to listen to my ideas about the Astral Express and Tayzzyronth?" Aha stares at you with a chilling smirk.

螺丝咕姆: 「暂停:开拓者女士/先生已被搅入局内,我们应采取防护。逻辑:『繁育』的命途威胁到了『开拓』。结论:『开拓』的阿基维利可能参与其中。」

Screwllum: "Paused: Miss/Sir Trailblazer is implicated. We should take precautions. Reason: The Path of Propagation has threatened Trailblaze. Conclusion: Akivili the Trailblaze might be involved."

黑塔: 「就这么暂停了?开拓者…螺丝咕姆为了你的安危把模拟宇宙暂停了。可惜,也不知这会阿哈有没有炸掉阿基维利的车。」黑塔不是很开心,「祂刚刚说的把戏是怎么回事?我们得检查下系统有没有受到影响,螺丝。」

Herta: "It paused just like that? Trailblazer... Screwllum has paused the Simulated Universe for your safety. It's a shame that we have no means to find out whether Aha has blown up Akivili's train at this time." Herta sounds disappointed. "What about the trick Aha mentioned? We need to check whether the system is affected, Screwy."

欢愉Ⅱ Elation II

螺丝咕姆: 「提问:是否有与阿哈交流之概率?」你仍在原地,螺丝咕姆礼貌地开口,「无机;有机;星神;我赞美三者间思想的充分涌流与平等。」

Screwllum: "Question: Do you have a possibility to interact with Aha?" While you wait in place, Screwllum speaks in a polite tone, "I laud the equality and exchange of ideas among the organic lifeforms, inorganic lifeforms, and Aeons."

黑塔: 「开拓者,还在等待星神回应?好无聊啊,玩个游戏吧。」黑塔嗤嗤地笑了,「你觉得谁最能跟阿哈合得来?」

Herta: "Trailblazer, are you still waiting for the Aeon's response? It's so boring. Let's play a game." Herta snickers. "Who do you think can get along with Aha the best?"

  • 螺丝咕姆。 Screwllum.

黑塔: 「螺丝咕姆,他与阿哈交流的方式估计跟我们不大一样。你这么想也没错…」

Herta: "I suppose Screwllum doesn't communicate with Aha in the same way as we do. I can see where you come from..."

阿哈: 你继续在原地等待——你发誓你真的笑不出来。你的白眼快翻到天上时,祂——终于来了!祂一出现身边就刮起巨大的虚假数据风暴,祂要让你开开心心,你的白眼却翻到天上。…但你发现祂必须要你笑出来,你只好扯出一个咧嘴的虚伪笑容。

Aha: You continue to wait in place, and you swear you can't force out a laugh. Just as you are rolling your eyes, THEY finally arrived! A massive fake data storm erupts around THEM as soon as THEY appear. THEY are eager to make you happy, but all you can do is roll your eyes. Yet, when you notice THEY demand you to laugh, you have no choice but to stretch your mouth into a fake grin.

阿哈: 「嗨,阿基维利!你把那个球玩得不错♥。」阿哈开始夸赞你,「你是玩球高手,能告诉我是谁制作了这个球吗?噢…等等,祂要来了。让我们先让位于伟大的祂——鼓掌、敬礼吧!」

Aha: "Hi, Akivili! You play the ball well. ♥" Aha starts complimenting you, "Since you're an expert in playing the ball, could you tell me who made it? Oh, hold on. THEY are coming. Let us put our hands together and salute the great one!"

希佩: 祂来了?你不知道阿哈是什么意思——盛大的巡礼却突然开启,一片喧嚣与欢闹,你却开始无声地尖叫。暖流撩拨着你,上万双眼睛于同一瞬间温柔地看着你,对你发出邀请。

Xipe: THEY are coming? While you are still confused by what Aha said, a grand parade begins all of a sudden. Your surrounding turns boisterous and lively, but you start screaming in silence. A warm current stirs within you as tens of thousands of eyes gently gaze at you invitingly.

希佩: 你相信祂的指间抹起彩虹色的水波——你的心绪被抚平,游走于拼图碎片、现代性的多重面孔与主义里,你相信祂已经抱住你,你也已成为意志集结的孩子!你有些迟疑,却又无法拒绝,甚至渴望更多地得到祂、拥抱祂……

Xipe: You believe that rainbow-colored ripples stir to life between THEIR fingers. Your emotions are soothed as you navigate through the puzzle pieces and the multiple facets and ideologies of modernity. You believe you are in THEIR arms, and you have become one of the children of this united will! You hesitate slightly, yet you cannot resist, and even yearn for more of THEM and THEIR embrace...

希佩: 阿基维利 / 开拓 是你吗?我们以为你死了 / 失踪了。成千上万的命运 / 历史塑造了宇宙的长势 / 走向。我们几乎相信 / 判断你已成为它的养料 / 注脚

Xipe: Akivili / The Trailblaze Is that you? We thought you were dead / missing. Countless destinies / histories have shaped the universe's trajectory / direction. We nearly believed / judged that you had become its nourishment / footnote.

  • 希佩…!/你真的有/多副面孔 Xipe...!/You do have/many faces

模拟宇宙: 谁还没点*多重*面孔?

Simulated Universe: Who doesn't?

阿哈: 「噢,集群星之母!」阿哈开始夸夸,祂的话却使你浑身不适,「只要你想做的事情足够好玩——哪怕是接力棒游戏!局势瞬息万变,上一次我们还在洽谈,下一次太一就变成了你。惋惜…我的老朋友!但祂使你看上去更*好*了。」

Aha: "Oh, the mother of all stars!" Aha starts the compliments, but the words make you uncomfortable. "As long as what you want to do is fun enough, even if it's a baton game! Changes happen rapidly. We were still negotiating last time, but this time, Ena already became you. It's a shame, my friend! But I must say Ena makes you look even better."

黑塔: 「好吧…停。『秩序』被『同谐』所同化,这我倒不意外。」黑塔摊手,「只是不知道发生在什么时候。莫非『秩序』的消失也和列神之战有关?唉,家族对此只字不提…我还挺想再见次太一,哪怕祂有点死板。噢,开拓者,要是让我转述这段八卦,我会这么说:希佩和阿哈还有你,为了塔伊兹育罗斯绞在了一起!」

Herta: "Okay... stop. I'm not surprised to see Order being assimilated by Harmony." Herta spreads her hands. "But I just don't know when it happened. Could the disappearance of the Order be related to the battle among Aeons? Ahhh, The Family doesn't say a single word about it... I'd really like to meet Ena again, although THEY are a bit rigid. Oh, Trailblazer, if I have to tell someone about this gossip, I'd say Xipe, Aha, and you have come together because of Tayzzyronth!"

丰饶Ⅰ Abundance I

模拟宇宙: 你静待在原地,渴望觐见神的到来。但时间缓慢流逝…什么也没发生。你感觉自己的头发在脱落,生命在流逝…你的脑内开始浮现这样一种场景:由于祂的哺育,你稀疏的头发开始疯狂生长,缠绕住你的手腕与脚脖……你近乎得意地大笑起来。

Simulated Universe: You wait in place, eagerly hoping to meet the god. However, time goes by slowly, and nothing happens. You feel hair starting to fall, and your life is passing away... A scene pops up in your mind where your thinning hair starts growing wildly and becomes long enough to wrap around your wrists and ankles as a result of the Aeon's nurturing... You nearly laugh out loud in elation.

模拟宇宙: 可惜!模拟宇宙使你的胡须生长,精神愈发颓靡——它们完全没长到该去的地方。

Simulated Universe: Unfortunately, the Simulated Universe makes your mustache grow and turns you into a disheveled person. The hair isn't growing where it is supposed to be.

黑塔: 「真是无聊。」黑塔百无聊赖地出现了,「要不聊点八卦怎么样?斯蒂芬•劳艾德是个怪人,你要是在模拟宇宙里遇到他,可能会看到个奇怪的中年人形象。」

Herta: "How boring." Herta shows up, looking bored. "How about we talk about gossip? Stephen Lloyd is a weirdo. If you run into him in the Simulated Universe, you might see him appear as a middle-aged guy."

  • 我可以捉弄他吗? Can I tease him?

黑塔: 「问我干嘛?」

Herta: "Why do you ask me?"

黑塔: 「反正,你假装不知道就行,别拆穿他,不然他可能会不高兴。」黑塔继续百无聊赖,「至于『丰饶』…别等了,祂大概不会出现。」

Herta: "Anyway, just pretend you don't know anything. He might be upset if you expose him." Still looking bored, Herta continues, "As for the Aeon of Abundance, I suggest you stop waiting, as THEY are unlikely to show up."

螺丝咕姆: 「否定:存在『丰饶』与『繁育』有关的可能。」螺丝咕姆突然出现。

Screwllum: "Negative: There are possible relations between Abundance and Propagation." Screwllum makes a sudden appearance.

黑塔: 「噢,对,有件好玩的事。我和螺丝咕姆下注了一份对赌协议。」黑塔撇了撇嘴,「螺丝咕姆认为『丰饶』的命途可能与塔伊兹育罗斯有关!我赌那会儿药师根本不存在。开拓者,赌吗?」

Herta: "Oh, by the way, there's something fun — Screwllum and I are in a betting agreement." Herta pursed her lips and adds. "Screwllum is of the view that the Path of Abundance might have been related to Tayzzyronth! As for me, I think Yaoshi didn't even exist at that time. Trailblazer, do you want to place a bet?"

  • 赌! Count me in!

螺丝咕姆: 「十分荣幸。」螺丝咕姆说,「这会是场有趣的游戏。」

Screwllum: "I'm honored. This is going to be interesting," says Screwllum.

黑塔: 「哼,拭目以待吧。」

Herta: "Hmph! Let's wait and see."

丰饶Ⅱ Abundance II

螺丝咕姆: 「结论:丰饶星神此时尚未出现。」螺丝咕姆机械齿轮般的声音响起,「依照约定,我会支付筹码给黑塔女士。」

Screwllum: "Conclusion: The Aeon of Abundance didn't exist during this time period." Screwllum's robotic gear-like voice comes. "As promised, I'll pay Madam Herta some chips."

  • 你付的筹码是啥? What kind of chips are you paying?

螺丝咕姆: 「筹码:螺丝。」螺丝咕姆回答,「黑塔女士称其渴望研究小螺丝的生命起源。补充:黑塔女士的赌注是空间站。」

Screwllum: "Chips: Screws." Screwllum answers, "Madam Herta said she wanted to study the origin of the life of small screws. Additional info: Madam Herta's bet is the space station."

模拟宇宙: ——祂真的尚未出现?你不知道,但你的心思开始散漫,螺丝咕姆的声音渐渐扭曲;你听到更多躁动的想法在你的脑中乱窜……

Simulated Universe: Has the Aeon really not appeared yet? You don't have the answer, but you are getting distracted. Screwllum's voice becomes distorted, and more chaotic thoughts are running amok in your mind...

模拟宇宙: 你忽然感到麦穗缠绕你的肋骨,它们试图贯穿你的肉体,而溢出的痛苦又被莫名地愈合…许多命途行者的经历一一浮现,你处于一种永不止息、充满生命力的生态循环内部。而你睁开眼——发现自己身在一片城墙的外侧,在被偷走太阳的国度里,失去了神的信徒不再睡眠,他们将你的形象浇灌在壁画里。他们向你发问——他们向你求救!

Simulated Universe: Suddenly, you can feel ears of wheat wrapping around your ribs as they try to run your body through. Yet, the overflowing pain is somehow healed... One by one, the journeys of many Pathstriders surface, and you are located inside a perpetual and vibrant ecological cycle. You open your eyes to find yourself standing outside a fortress wall. In the nation where the Sun has been stolen, the believers who have lost their god will wake up from slumber. They include your portrait in the murals. They question you... they beseech you for help!

模拟宇宙: 他们渴望你给予回答,渴望你从「开拓」中带来答案——他们的神去了哪里?现在你要给出回答…你就是那个救世者;你没有人可以依靠!你仿佛理解了药师的慈怀之心,你平心静气、深深呼吸,将从万千杂音中寻找到可回应的那一缕……

Simulated Universe: They long for you to give an answer, an answer you can bring from Trailblaze — Where did their god go? Now, you have to answer them. You are none other than the savior — having no one to rely on! You seem to understand Yaoshi's compassion now. You calm down and take a deep breath before searching for the one voice among many to which you can respond.

  • …「秩序」消失了? ...The Order disappeared?

模拟宇宙: 「秩序」消失后,「均衡」将归还太阳;正如寰宇蝗灾褪去,虫群却从未断绝。

Simulated Universe: After the disappearance of the Order, the Equilibrium will return the Sun, just like how the Swarm never went extinct even after the Swarm Disaster has receded.

序 Order

黑塔: 「我们好像有进展了,别晕头转向。」黑塔的气声传来,她难得正经,似乎对接下来要发生的事带有一丝兴奋,「你能不能给自己弹个脑瓜清醒下?仔细看——我们推演出塔伊兹育罗斯了。」

Herta: "We seem to be making progress. Don't get overwhelmed." Herta's voice comes through. Unlike her usual self, she speaks seriously and seems excited about what is going to unfold. "Can you hit yourself on your head and focus? Take a closer look - we've derived Tayzzyronth."

模拟宇宙: 塔伊兹育罗斯…?一切来得太快,你还未做好准备。你抬起头,倏忽间天空划过一丝亮光……

Simulated Universe: Tayzzyronth? Everything happens so fast that you aren't ready for the change. You look up, and a beam of light flashes across the sky all of a sudden...

塔伊兹育罗斯: 异妙的啼哭突然出现,你确信那是婴虫对空气的第一声吮吸。连带赤蝶嗜吸百合的音节,一些不同味道的唾液滴落…它有橙味、血液或是热带水果的不同气息,让你误以为自己身处汽水的海洋中。

Tayzzyronth: A peculiar cry suddenly comes from somewhere, and you are certain it is the first suckling sound of an infant insect to the air. Along with it comes the melodic tone of red butterflies sucking honey from lilies. The saliva of different scents such as the scents of orange, blood, and tropical fruits is dripping, making you feel as though you were immersed in an ocean of soda.

塔伊兹育罗斯: 漫天琳琅作响的翅粉令你产生轻微的幻觉。你发现祂正被无数摇摇欲坠的黄蝴蝶、蚁虫、陨窠虫与不同大小的蛰虫簇拥着。祂在这种幻象的簇拥中不停飞升上天空…祂的血液看上去是彩色的。只是你并无从得知祂为何而流血……

Tayzzyronth: You have a mild hallucination due to the ringing and chiming dust on butterfly wings that covers the sky. You find the Aeon surrounded by countless yellow butterflies, ants, meteor bugs, and hibernating insects of different sizes that are on the verge of falling. Amidst the illusion, THEY begin a continuous ascent to the sky... THEIR blood appears colorful, but you have no idea why THEY are bleeding...

塔伊兹育罗斯: 惊谲的意象在你面前铺展开来:在这个时刻,祂的身躯颤抖而胆小地蜷缩起来,无数新的虫族纲目却在这时出现:它们交换信息素,如同花朵交换不同颜色的花瓣,接着就诞育完全不同的*新物种*。

Tayzzyronth: A mind-blowing phenomenon unravels before you. The Aeon's trembling body curls up timidly, as countless new insect species emerge at the same time. They exchange pheromones, just like how flowers exchange for petals of different colors. Then, an entirely new species is born.

黑塔: 「不出意料,就该在这。『繁育』命途从古至今,自宇宙诞生以来最盛的时期——珍惜吧,在祂陨落后,这一切都不会再来了。」黑塔依旧轻声。

Herta: "As expected, it's here. This is the most prosperous period of the Path of Propagation since the creation of the universe. Cherish it, as these will be gone for good after the Aeon falls." Herta speaks softly.

黑塔: 「开拓者,设想一下,假设我们现在站在『虫潮』振翅、消褪、又再现,如此这般周而复始的循环之中,感觉如何?」黑塔突然笑了,「一次又一次地旁观宇宙历程,不错啊。」

Herta: "Trailblazer, how would you feel if we stood observer to the repeating cycle where the Swarm is born, recedes, and resurges?" Herta suddenly chuckles, "It'd be quite a nice experience to watch the journey of the universe again and again."
