余菲连通感应画面的瞬间，只见到嘭地声爆炸，血雾弥漫。
The moment Yu Fei (余霏) connected to the perception scene画面 (huà miàn), he only saw a bang — an explosion, blood mist spreading.
画面与链接都消失了。
The scene and the link both vanished.
高速前行的汽车呲地急停。在地上划出几道刹车印。
The high-speed car screeched to a halt, leaving several skid marks on the ground.
司机难以置信地看向身旁同样怔怔的余菲。
The driver looked in disbelief at Yu Fei beside him, who was equally stunned.
“老大，刚刚的链接突然变成融资，模型还变成那副摸样，老袁他好像…”
“Boss, that link just now suddenly turned into financing, and the Model changed into that state. Old Yuan, he seemed to…”
余菲脸色非常难看。
Yu Fei’s expression was extremely unpleasant.
“杨子藏…”
“Yang Zicang (杨子藏)…”
“我要给他报仇！”一人愤怒的吼着。
“I’ll avenge him!” One man shouted angrily.
余菲捏住车门的手嘎吱作响。
Yu Fei’s hand gripping the car door creaked.
“A级交错地为重。毕竟，这次的交错地，是必须要让那几位大人物进入的。”
“The A-class Crossing Place is more important. After all, this time’s Crossing Place — those几位大人 (several大人) must enter it.”
……
杨子藏已经由另一条路离开。
Yang Zicang had already left by another road.
他只穿梭在建筑之中，虽然可能碰到恶魇，不过与恶魇相比，这里的人更令他警惕。询问了梁喜所在方位后，他往那出老鼠洞穴赶去。
He moved only through the buildings. Although he might encounter Nightmares (恶魇), compared to Nightmares, the people here made him more wary. After asking about Liang Xi’s (梁喜) location, he headed toward that rat cave.
一个多小时后，没有车辆的空寂道路上，三个惊慌之人远远跑来。
Over an hour later, on an empty, vehicle-less road, three panicked people ran from afar.
“快跑啊兄弟，后面的怪物会吃人。”
“Run, brother! The monsters behind eat people!”
他们身后跟着两个立方体似的青黑色怪物。
Behind them followed two cube-like cyan-black monsters.
“快跑啊，那些怪物太可怕了，军队呢？只有坦克或者导弹才可能杀死它们！”
“Run! Those monsters are too可怕 (kě pà)! Where’s the army? Only tanks or missiles could kill them!”
咻！
Whoosh!
冒着金色虚影的石子自杨子藏手中飞出，划出道凌厉的弧线。
A stone with a golden phantom light flew from Yang Zicang’s hand, tracing a sharp arc.
砰地声，追着他们的一只青黑色怪物瞬间轰然碎裂。
Bang — one of the cyan-black monsters chasing them instantly shattered.
三人目瞪口呆。
The three were dumbfounded.
“死了？吃掉了我们两个人的无敌怪物，就这么死了？”
“Dead? The invincible monster that ate two of us — it just died like that?”
“你好，我叫赵博民，谢谢你帮我们，可…那到底是什么啊！”
“Hello, I’m Zhao Bomin (赵博民). Thank you for helping us, but… what was that thing?”
[我收获了31N。]
[I gained 31N.]
“它只是垃圾桶所孕育，因此很弱。但我想你们在路上已经见过那些，恐怖到无法形容的怪物了吧。”杨子藏道。
“It was just born from a trash can, so it’s weak. But I imagine you’ve already seen those unspeakably terrifying monsters on the way.” Yang Zicang said.
那对男女听闻此话，表情变得惊恐：“这究竟是哪儿，是什么生物实验室爆炸了吗？军队呢，我们被放弃了是吧？”
The man and woman, upon hearing this, showed terrified expressions: “Where exactly is this? Did some生物 (shēng wù) lab explode? Where’s the army? We’ve been abandoned, right?”
杨子藏抬头看了眼旁边一栋开始拥有陈腐气息的大楼。
Yang Zicang looked up at a nearby building that had begun to emit a decayed aura.
因为这两位没有孕育出模型的人存在，它所蕴含的恶魇之卵已经开始逐步苏醒了。
Because of the presence of these two people who hadn’t nurtured a Model, the Nightmare eggs inside it had begun to gradually awaken.
简略说了关于这里的信息后，杨子藏为三人指了左明大道所在的方向，便打算离去。
After briefly explaining some information about this place, Yang Zicang pointed the三人 (sān rén) toward Zuo Ming Avenue (左明大道) and prepared to leave.
“等等，帅哥。我能跟你一起吗。”赵博民道。
“Wait, handsome. Can I come with you?” Zhao Bomin said.
“啊，博民，你不能丢下我们啊。”
“Ah, Bomin, you can’t abandon us.”
那中年男人急切地劝阻。之前没赵博民他们都活不下来。
The middle-aged man urged urgently. Without Zhao Bomin, they wouldn’t have survived earlier.
而赵博民确知道，自己能在此遇见杨子藏这种乐于助人的人，概率可是比在这世界遭遇怪物的可能性稀少得多。
But Zhao Bomin knew that the probability of meeting someone as helpful as Yang Zicang here was far rarer than the chance of encountering monsters in this world.
“我没空。”
“I don’t have time.”
调度能力发动，杨子藏快速离开三人的视线。
Dispatching (调度) activated, and Yang Zicang quickly disappeared from their sight.
……
废墟般的塌陷之地外，两个身影巡视一轮后暂时离开。
Outside the ruin-like collapsed area, two figures finished a round of patrolling and temporarily left.
下午，感受到自己的时序终于可以再次增幅，杨子藏赶紧用它将自己周身防护，瞧准时机从缝隙进入。
In the afternoon, feeling that his Time Sequence (时序) could finally be amplified again, Yang Zicang quickly used it to protect his body and, seizing the moment, entered through a gap.
这地窖般越来越深的金属管道内空气幽冷，空气中弥漫着淡淡的腐臭气息。
Inside the metal passage , growing deeper like a cellar, the air was cold and carried a faint stench of decay.
根据那少年的说法，刚开始的十来米垂直深度几乎没有危险，但后面就会逐渐有怪物冒头。
According to the boy, the first ten meters or so of vertical depth were almost danger, but afterward, monsters would gradually appear.
{哥，你真的来了？}
{Big brother, you really came?}
梁喜内心激动不已。
Liang Xi’s heart surged with excitement.
[我有几个朋友，需要为他们准备月末扣除的时序。]
[I have a few friends. I need to prepare the Time Sequence for their end-of-month deduction.]
{原来是这样，哥你真是个好人。}
{So that’s it. Big brother, you’re such a good person.}
这里怪异的空间内光线阴暗，杨子藏看准周围的地形，想着后面爬出来时，是否会出现无处着力的情况。
The light in this strange space was dim. Yang Zicang surveyed the surrounding terrain, thinking about whether he would have nowhere to brace himself when climbing back out later.
自己要独自进入异度空间里了。
He was about to enter the Alternate Dimension (异度空间) alone.
他按耐住心中的异样情绪，一路向下几十米后，出现几个横向的大管道。
Suppressing the strange emotions in his heart, he descended several dozen meters until several large horizontal管道 (guǎn dào) appeared.
挲挲~
Susha, susha~
杨子藏紧贴墙壁，听着通道另一端的轻微声音。
Yang Zicang pressed himself against the wall, listening to faint sounds from the other end of the passage.
那脚步身的主人似乎也察觉到了不属于这里的气息，将自己静静隐藏在另一端，等待猎物自行闯入。
The owner of those footsteps seemed to have also sensed a presence that didn’t belong here, hiding quietly at the other end, waiting for prey to walk in.
忽然，头顶破碎褶皱的金属隔层上射来几道鞭子般的东西。
Suddenly, several whip-like things shot down from the torn, wrinkled metal ceiling above.
啪啪！
Crack, crack!
杨子藏脚尖轻蹬钻入管道。
Yang Zicang pushed off lightly with his toes and dove into the管道 (guǎn dào).
砰砰砰！
Bang, bang, bang!
几道长鞭抽打在身上，瞬间少了几十年增幅时序。
Several whips struck his body, instantly costing him several decades of amplified Time Sequence.
身后重重的坠地身传来后，三道如小牛犊般的身影快速冲来，带起轰隆闷响。杨子藏震撼的看着扑来的老鼠们。这就是那家伙敢独自进入的怪物巢穴？
After the sound of heavy landings behind him, three calf-sized figures rushed forward quickly, bringing low rumbling thunder. Yang Zicang looked in shock at the rats charging at him. So this was the monster nest that kid dared to enter alone?
[应选者梁喜希望为我进行投资。]
[Chosen One (应选者) Liang Xi wants to invest in me.]
[梁喜为我投资了200N。]
[Liang Xi invested 200N in me.]
杨子藏边跑边掏出准备好的几粒圆润石子握在手中，胸前光芒闪耀，几道四边形幻影将周身包裹。
As he ran, Yang Zicang pulled out several smooth, prepared stones and held them in his hand. Light shone from his chest, and several Quadrilateral (四边形) phantoms enveloped his body.
“四倍增幅！”
“Quadruple amplification!”
梁喜投入的两百年时序顷刻间尽数注入这几粒石子中，它们转瞬变成银辉色。
The two hundred years of Time Sequence invested by Liang Xi were instantly poured into these stones, which turned silver-grey in the blink of an eye.
“嘭嘭嘭！”
“Bang, bang, bang!”
三道冲来的身影含恨倒地。
Three charging figures fell to the ground in resentment.
[我共计收获了46.2N。]
[I gained a total of 46.2N.]
背后荡来劲风，刚解决完三只怪物的杨子藏被这东西扑倒在地，尖锐腐臭的巨牙朝着脖子咬来。
A gust of wind came from behind. Yang Zicang, having just dealt with the three monsters, was tackled to the ground by this thing. Sharp, foul-smelling giant teeth aimed for his neck.
“嘭！”
“Bang!”
杨子藏咬牙挥动拳头，被金色虚影覆盖的拳影砸在这老鼠头颅上，一拳打得红的白的乱飞。
Gritting his teeth, Yang Zicang swung his fist. The golden phantom-covered punch smashed into the rat’s head, sending red and white flying.
“好恶心。”
“So disgusting.”
他赶紧爬起身顺着管道逃离此地。
He quickly scrambled up and fled along the管道 (guǎn dào).
真不知道阿梁那小子是如何在这种地方待上一天一夜的，自己才刚进入不到几分钟，就出现了险情。
He really didn’t know how A Liang (阿梁) had managed to stay in a place like this for a whole day and night — he himself had been inside for less than a few minutes and already encountered danger.
难怪前几十米垂直距离一点异常都没有，它们肯定在调兵遣将打算阴自己。
No wonder the first few dozen meters of vertical descent had shown no abnormalities — they must have been maneuvering their forces to ambush him.
{太厉害了，杨哥，你就像电影里的超级战士。}
{Amazing, Brother Yang — you’re like a super soldier from the movies.}
千穿万穿马屁不穿，听到这话，哪怕是在这惊心动魄之际，杨子藏内心还是感受到了点舒服。
Flattery never fails. Hearing these words, even in this heart-stopping moment, Yang Zicang felt a little pleased inside.
[我，伟大的四边形，接受了来自投资人的真诚赞美。]
[I, the great Quadrilateral, accept the sincere praise from my investor.]
“阿梁，你知不知道你现在所在的位置？”杨子藏边跑边低声道。
“A Liang, do you know where you are right now?” Yang Zicang asked in a low voice as he ran.
通过感应画面，他可以看见少年躲在一处狭窄的缝隙内，用尖锐金属放在通道口，只要有怪物冒头就能戳出去。
Through the perception畫面 (huà miàn), he could see the boy hiding in a narrow crevice, placing sharp metal at the passage entrance, ready to stab any monster that showed its head.
{我不知道，不过杨大哥如果你继续走，路过我经过的地方后，我应该就能找到路线了。}
{I don’t know, but Brother Yang, if you keep going and pass through the places I’ve been, I should be able to find the route.}
进入地有差别。于是杨子藏只能一边学习着梁喜传授的经验，一边在甩掉几只追来的老鼠后，摸索着前进。
The terrain differed. So Yang Zicang could only learn from the经验 (jīng yàn) Liang Xi shared, while shaking off a few pursuing rats and groping his way forward.
……
怪物巢穴的入口处。
At the entrance to the monster’s nest.
那名一路跟着杨子藏的戴着墨镜男人，等了十几分钟都还未见其出来。
The sunglasses-wearing man who had been following Yang Zicang had waited over ten minutes without seeing him come out.
[马超，你想要亲自取他性命的打算恐怕要落空了，那异度空间里全是老鼠。被群殴，哪怕他有数千年时序本金也必死无疑。]
[Ma Chao (马超), your plan to take his life yourself probably won’t work. That Alternate Dimension is full of rats. If he gets swarmed, even with thousands of years of Time Sequence principal, he’ll die for sure.]
{绍敏，不要跟那些蠢货一样小看四边形。我相信他绝对不会那么轻易死在那里，因为取他性命之人必然是我。}
{Shaomin (绍敏), don’t underestimate the Quadrilateral like those fools. I believe he won’t die there so easily — because the one to take his life must be me.}
墨镜男轻笑了声，没有回应这略带不讲道理的话。
The sunglasses-wearing man chuckled lightly and didn’t respond to this somewhat unreasonable statement.
他知道对于那种能力的人来说，拥有强大的信念是支撑能力的条件之一。
He knew that for someone with that kind of ability, having strong conviction was one of the conditions that supported their power.
那辆神奇的列车。
That magical train.
无视现实规则的信念，绝对的相信自己，永不妥协的精神韧性，如此才能成为在这怪异城市内自由穿梭的存在。
The belief that ignores real-world rules, absolute self-confidence, unyielding spiritual resilience — only thus could one become an entity that moves freely through this bizarre city.
邵敏心念中继续传来马超的声音。
Shao Min (邵敏) continued to hear Ma Chao’s voice in his thoughts.
{我看他的投掷距离远超一般人的范围，只要控制得好，那处异度空间对他来说可谓如鱼得水。呵啊，我好想立即过来将他捏死，以报张飞之仇！}
{I see his throwing range far exceeds that of ordinary people. If he controls it well, that Alternate Dimension will be like a fish in water for him. Hah — I want to come over right now and crush him to death, to avenge Zhang Fei (张飞)!}
[不要，这边毕竟属于罗鑫的地盘。等我给他种下你交给我的那枚‘种子’后，晚上你就好好放手收拾他吧。只可惜张飞，居然载在这种初生牛犊手中。]
[Don’t. After all, this area belongs to Luo Xin (罗鑫). Once I plant the ‘seed’ you gave me on him, you can let loose and deal with him tonight. What a pity about Zhang Fei — to fall at the hands of such a newbie.]
马超沉默了下，冷静的道：
Ma Chao was silent for a moment, then said calmly:
{也是怪我太过相信张飞！呃啊啊啊，憾事啊！在进入A级交错地前，我誓要将他碎尸万段方才能安心。}
{It’s my fault for trusting Zhang Fei too much! Urghhh — what a regret! Before entering the A-class Crossing Place, I swear I’ll tear him into a thousand pieces to set my mind at ease.}
[嗯…有我在，你会如愿以偿的。]
[Mm… With me here, you’ll get your wish.]
这墨镜男与马超切断联系后，将眼镜摘下，半蹲于障碍物之后，双手撑地。
After the sunglasses-wearing man cut the link with Ma Chao, he took off his glasses, half-squatted behind an obstacle, and placed his hands on the ground.
邵敏的眸子中，宛若两个旋转的贴图，是两个卡通人物形象。
In Shao Min’s (邵敏) eyes, like two rotating decals, were two cartoon character images.
[我是神秘的三角形！]
[I am the mysterious Triangle!]
三角形光芒自他胸前闪动。
A triangular light flickered from his chest.
“双开门冰箱的能力…寒气储存，发动！”
“The ability of a double-door refrigerator… Cold air storage — activate!”
他的眼眸内冰霜凝结，出现两团寒冰般的雾气。
Frost condensed in his eyes, and two masses of ice-like mist appeared.
雾气扭曲着从宛若左右打开的空洞瞳仁内漂浮而出。
The mist twisted and floated out from his hollow pupils, which seemed to open left and right.
两道寒雾自左右眼眶冒出后在前方虚空交织，幻化为两道抱在一起的卡通虚影，他们手上托举着个雾气汇聚而成的小巧模拟站台。
After the two cold mists emerged from his left and right eye sockets, they intertwined in the void ahead, transforming into two cartoon phantoms hugging each other. In their hands, they held a small simulated platform formed from the gathered mist.
“去，将它丢到我刚才看见的那人身上。”
“Go — throw it onto the person I saw just now.”
它们漂浮起来迅捷地冲入倒塌建筑缝隙之内，只留下一道淡淡的虚影丝线与这男人的双目眼眶所链接。
They floated up and swiftly rushed into the gaps of the collapsed building, leaving only a faint phantom thread linking them to the man’s eyes.
远方，一道用望远镜观看这里的微胖身影将头缩了回去。
In the distance, a slightly plump figure who had been watching through binoculars pulled his head back.
