星域界种指要：呜呜伯 Species of the Galaxy: Wubbaboo

*这本指要在表面上与一般的大部头书籍别无二致，但仔细观察，就会发现它的周身环绕着一层淡淡的星环，如同一个隐蔽的咒语。摊开的书页上，记载着「呜呜伯」的百科信息。用手翻阅书册是可行的，但无论翻过多少页，它的内容始终停留在此页，那种感觉就像是……在翻阅一本流动的沙之书。显然，要察看其他内容，你还需获得某种权限，或者说，钥匙。*

*On the surface, this book is no different from any other. But upon closer examination, you will find that it is surrounded by a layer of stellar light, as if imbued with a hidden spell. The encyclopedic information on Wubbaboo is recorded on the open page of the book. You can turn the page with your hand, but the content will always remain the same. It's almost like flipping through a book of sifting sand. It seems that you need some sort of authorization to view the other contents — some sort of key.*

研究概要：

Research Summary:

以星灵为代表的灵质生物，其历史最早可以追溯到琥珀纪记述之初。「古兽孕育说」这一假说认为，部分积年古兽在黄昏战争后搁浅，在它们沉睡的漫长时间里，分解的细胞体化作有机体的初生之皿，而逸散的生命能量则化作游荡的星灵。但近年来，越来越多的学者开始公开反对「古兽孕育说」；有关其他不成气候的假说，本指要尚且按下不表。

Spiritual organisms, represented by Astral Spirits, can be traced back to the recorded beginnings of the Amber Era. The Leviathan's Conception Theory believes that some elder Leviathans were run aground after the Dusk Wars. During their lengthy slumber, their decomposed cells became the seedbed for organic organisms, and their dissipating life force became wandering Astral Spirits. However, more and more scholars have begun to publicly denounce the Leviathan's Conception Theory in recent years. Other nascent theories are not included here.

最初，星灵没有自主意识，只是在银河中漫无目的地飘荡。开拓之纪里，「无名客」大肆穿行于银河间，人类行动的自由影像诱惑了星灵。有限寿数的生灵携带着爱欲生死的强烈情感，冲击了星灵荒芜的内核。人类，成为星灵最垂涎的宿主。星灵循着情绪的气味锁定猎物，占据躯壳，使宿主变为行尸走肉；无法与星灵成功融合的宿主会当场身亡。据考证，一位名叫埃尔文•赫斯勒的无名客最早被星灵附体，与星灵实现了和平共生；更多被星灵附身后招致杀祸的个体则湮灭在历史长河中。

In the beginning, the Astral Spirits did not possess individual wills, and all they did was float and wander aimlessly in the cosmos. During the era of Trailblaze, as the Nameless traversed the cosmic expanse, the Astral Spirits became allured by the humans' freedom of travel. The mortal beings possessing the strong emotions of love and lust made a strong impact on the barren core of the Astral Spirits. Humans have become the most desirable hosts for Astral Spirits. The Astral Spirits would follow the scent of emotions and find their prey, possess their body, and turn the host into a mindless walking corpse. Hosts that aren't able to fuse with the Astral Spirits will die on spot. A verified case of a Nameless named Erwin Hessler became possessed by an Astral Spirit and managed to form a symbiotic relationship with it. Those possessed by Astral Spirits and ended in tragedy are lost as time goes on.

此后，这类灵质生物便混迹于人类社会之中。它们出色的情绪感知与心智操纵能力，令人闻之色变。

Afterward, these types of spiritual organisms hid and blended into human society. Their exceptional abilities to sense emotion and control people's hearts and minds are feared by many.

呜呜伯继承了其先祖星灵的能力，却不似那般致命。当它们单独存在时，呈现出半透明波动的幽灵形态，喜好装神弄鬼；寄生于宿主后，会导致宿主性格乖张、行为颠倒，在犯下一系列恶作剧之后，复归清醒。

Wubbaboos have inherited the abilities of their Astral Spirit ancestors, but are not as deadly. On their own, Wubbaboos enjoy scaring people and appear as ghostly, semi-transparent, shifting forms. After attaching itself to a host, the personality of the host will change dramatically and their behavior completely altered. After committing a series of pranks, the host will regain consciousness.

如果说星灵肆虐是为了掠夺与进化，那么呜呜伯的游荡则纯粹是为了——

If the brutal acts of Astral Spirits are for the purpose of possession and evolution, then Wubbaboo's roaming would purely be —

「好玩」。

For fun.

没错，它们四处捣蛋作乱，没有任何原因，并会在腻烦之后悄然退场。喧闹会停止，宿主终会恢复原状，但中途造成的破坏却不可挽回。

That's right. They go around being mischievous for no specific reason and would leave after they get bored. The ruckus would end and the host would return to normal but the damages caused along the way cannot be salvaged.

根据「黑塔」通行的阿德勒分级法，呜呜伯属于中度收容关注等级，虽无性命之虞，却有麻烦之忧。应谨防其无端流窜。

According to the space station's Adler's Tier System, Wubbaboos fall under the medium containment level. Although it does not pose a deadly threat, it does have the potential to cause a lot of trouble and should be kept from breaking loose.
