Stage 0-1 前夜 主线0章

—Manhattan, USA.——曼哈顿•美国。

After the crisis erupted, this isolated city on the verge of collapse was engulfed by storms and the darkness of night...危机爆发之后，黑夜与暴风雪笼罩了这座处在崩溃边缘的孤城……

The sounds of gunfire and glint of bullets cut through the wind and snow. The chaotic air currents churn the snowflakes into a whirling vortex which then slowly settle back down onto the icy-cold concrete roadblocks. The silhouettes of two girls vault over a roadblock in rapid succession, then turn around to press their backs against the police car by the side of the road. One of them closes the half-opened driver-side door, and her form is reflected in the window's glass.枪声与弹头拖拽出的火光穿透了风雪。 逐渐混乱的气流将雪花卷成一片飞舞的螺旋之后，缓缓飘落在了冰冷的水泥路障表面上。 ——两名少女模样的身影相继用手撑着身体翻越了路障，又回身倚靠在了路边的警车一侧，其中一人关上了半开的驾驶位车门，车窗玻璃中映出了她的倒影。

Am RFBHehehe, we're back here again.嘿嘿嘿，总算又回到这里来了。

???Agents, looks like you're close to completing the mission. We'll meet at the rendezvous point as planned. Best of luck.特工，看来距离任务完成仅剩一步之遥了，我们按计划在汇合点见面，祝你好运。

MDRI've heard those words so many times that I feel like they've worn a groove into my neural cloud.这些话我已经听得耳朵里起茧子了。

Am RFBHahaha, how would you even put a groove into a neural cloud... Hey!哈哈哈，人形怎么会起茧子…… 喂！

MDRWhat?干嘛？

Am RFBQuit making frowny faces at the car window and deploy the turret over there, at the usual place!别对着车窗玻璃摆苦瓜脸了，来把机枪塔扔到那边去，老地方！

MDRCome to think of it, how many times has it been already? Can't we attack from a different direction?话说这都第几次了？ 我们就不能换个方向进攻吗？

Am RFBWell, it'll be the same no matter where we go. After all, the opposition are a bunch of pretty tough customers. Let me think... Got it, we'll look for an opportunity to flank them. That way we'll win for sure!不管从哪边走，结果都是一样的，毕竟对方也不是省油的灯嘛。 让我想想……对了，找个时机包抄他们好了，这样绝对能赢！

MDRYou want the two of us to flank that horde of enemies we're facing?你是说咱们两个包抄对面一群？

Am RFBErm, well, if we had a little more time...呃，只要再争取到一点时间的话……

???Agents, we're out of time. The JTF chopper is standing by; please inform them of your location with your signal flare and complete the recovery!特工，已经没有时间了，联合作战部队的直升机已经处于待命状态，请尽快使用信号弹给他们标记位置，完成回收撤离行动！

Am RFBDon't just call up to shoot down my ideas, dammit!不要当场把我的想法堵死啊！

MDRAll that bloody woman does is talk over the radio, she doesn't know what the hell we're going through out here... Eeeek!可恶，这个女人光在无线电里说说话，也不嫌腰疼……噫！

A torrent of enemy fire rains down on the cop car which they're using as cover and throws up a shower of sparks. MDR reflexively throws out a seeker mine, which activates and swiftly rolls out from under the vehicle.敌对一侧的火力倾泻在了她们躲藏的警车车身，溅起了许多火花。MDR条件反射地扔出了一枚追踪地雷，它在地面启动后，快速地从车底滚了过去。

Am RFBNicely done, MDR!很熟练了嘛MDR！

MDRI mean, I'm the one suffering here. Seriously, that was my last one!所以我是最该被心疼的那个，说真的，这可是最后一次了！

The moment it explodes, MDR glances at the street opposite the cop car and spots several burly, heavily-armed men there. They're wearing wristwatches that glow blood red, their movements are swift and coordinated, and all this is being directed by an enemy behind them. In the same moment, a mechanical noise comes over Am RFB and MDR's shoulders—趁着爆炸的瞬间，MDR偷偷瞄了一眼警车对面的街道，那里已经出现了几个身材高大的武装人员。 他们佩戴着散发血红色光芒的腕表，行动统一且迅速，而这一切正由他们身后的某个敌人指挥着。 同一时刻，RFB和MDR的肩头上传来了机械般的声音——

ISACWarning. High-threat hostile detected.已侦测到高威胁性目标。

???Looks like there's "big trouble" headed your way. Be careful!好像有些“大麻烦”到你那边去了，务必要小心！

MDROh yes, just in time too!是啊，来的很准时！

Am RFBFocus your fire on a single target! If we take them out one after the other, we ought to have a chance...先集中火力攻击一个目标！ 如果逐个消灭的话，应该有机会……

ISACWarning. Vital signs indicate possibility of infection.警告：生命迹象显示可能已受到感染。

MDRTsk! Not again... Aren't the chances of infection in the Dark Zone way too high? Do you still have medicine?嘁！又来……暗区这边的感染率也太高了吧？ 还有药吗？

Am RFBWho's got time for that now? They're about to overrun us!现在哪有时间吃药，对面就快压过来了！

MDRNo no no, I still remember how I got sick and died last time. I don't want to go down in the same place again...不不不，上次当场病死的事情又不是没发生过，这次不能在同一个地方翻车两遍……

Am RFBWhoa! Look out! Incendiary!哇！小心燃烧弹！

Boom! There is an explosion, followed immediately by a mass of flames that ignites MDR's body. She immediately jumps up from behind her cover.砰！ 一声爆炸响起，紧跟着烧起的一团火焰点燃了MDR的身体，后者直接从掩体中跳了起来。

MDROwww hot hot hot hot hot!哇——！烫烫烫烫烫！

Am RFBWait, MDR, don't run around!MDR！等等，别乱跑！

However, the burning MDR completely ignores Am RFB's words. The moment she leaps out from behind cover, all the firepower pouring down on the cop car focuses on her.浑身燃起火焰的MDR根本无心听取RFB的劝告，当她从掩体中跳出去的瞬间，警车对面的火力就全部集中在了她的身上。

MDRUwaaaaaah! Am RFB, I'm down! Quick, save me!呜哇——！ RFB！我被击倒了，快、快救我！

Am RFBYou're too far out. Try getting a little closer... Eh?!你倒下的位置也太远了吧。 再、再过来一点点…… 咦！？

Just as she's about to reach out for MDR's hand, Am RFB hears the sound of heavy breathing from behind her. She instinctively whirls around to face it, but the muzzle of her opponent's gun is already pointed at her.眼看着就能够到MDR的手，RFB却突然听到身后传来了沉重呼吸声，反应过来的她立刻转身，但对方已将黑洞洞的枪口指向了自己。

???Unfortunately, Agents, you've failed. Hopefully, you'll regroup and try—很遗憾，特工，你失败了。 希望你可以重整旗鼓，再接——

—4:36AM, in the Griffin dorms.——格里芬宿舍，凌晨4点36分。

Am RFBNot agaaaaiiiiiiiiin—!为什么还是这个结果啊啊啊啊啊啊啊——！

Am RFB wails in despair as she disconnects from Level II. The response to this cry is an angry banging on the wall that connects to her neighbor's room.从二级平层离线的RFB发出了懊恼的惨叫。 而回应惨叫的，是隔壁难忍噪音，敲墙抗议的“咚咚”声。

A Doll Who Got Woken UpOi! What the hell are you shouting about this late at night! Playing ELID?!喂，大半夜不睡觉你喊什么喊？闹ELID吗！？

Am RFBUrgh...!咕……！

Knowing that she's inconvenienced the other Doll, Am RFB decides to just keep her mouth shut, but the voice of "that woman" scorning her for failing again resounds clearly in her mind. Am RFB has always taken pride in her skills as a pro gamer, and the very thought of it pisses her off, but before she can reconnect to Level II, someone storms into her room with a huge scowl.自知吵到别人的RFB乖乖闭上了嘴，但她清楚地记得自己再次失败时，“那个女人”嫌弃她能力不足的声音。 一向以老玩家自居的RFB感到十分不爽，但还没等再次进入二级平层，某个摆着一副苦瓜脸的家伙便大步闯进了她的房间。

MDRLet's play another game!我们换个游戏吧！

Am RFBHuh? You're giving up already?诶？这就放弃了？

MDRWho would have thought The Division would be so hard.谁知道《全境封锁》玩起来居然这么难。

Am RFBWell, it's only natural for games to be a bit challenging. Otherwise, what would be the fun in playing them?有点难度其实很正常啊，不然还怎么享受游戏的乐趣？

MDRFun? In the first place, it was a very old game circulating on Grifchan. I decided to go play it to unlock all the achievements because it seemed interesting, but instead we've been dying right before the mission finished, over and over again, from 9:30 PM to 4:30 AM. I don't know if this is fun or not, but the lifespan of my parts is quickly running out!享受乐趣？ 这本来就是匿名版发布的很有年代的古老游戏，只是心血来潮玩一下刷刷成就，结果我们从晚上九点打到凌晨四点半，一到关底就团灭。 乐趣有没有享受到我是不清楚，但自己素体零件的寿命倒是快没了！

Am RFBWell, it's not like we've been on missions recently anyway, so what's wrong with killing some time?反正最近都没有派遣什么任务，打发时间嘛。

MDRHave you heard that urban legend recently about a civilian Doll who had mobility issues because her parts got old and she ended up slipping and falling into a furnace ...你得知道最近才有个民用人形因为硬件老化导致活动不便，结果失足掉进熔炉的传说……

Am RFBAaaaaahhhhh! Ahh! Ahhh! Don't tell me about it!啊——！啊！啊！别给我讲这种恐怖故事！

MDRThen hurry up and play a different game!那就赶紧换游戏！

Am RFBHonestly, what am I going to do with you. Since you can't handle a challenge, why don't we play on Normal?真拿你没办法，既然不擅长挑战高难度玩法，那按照正常的方式来总行了吧？

MDRPlay on Normal? What does that mean?正常的方式？什么意思？

Am RFBWell, if it's difficult to play with just two people... Then wouldn't it be easier if you had more people helping you?既然两个人玩的难度很大。 那再多叫一些人来玩不就容易些了吗？

MDRCan we really get that many people to help?能叫很多人来吗？

Am RFBOf course we can! This game supports up to 24 players at once!当然了，可是能最多支持24个玩家一起参与的！

MDR... So you're saying you were just making the game harder on purpose?!…… 搞半天是你自己强行给游戏增加难度吗！？

Am RFBAh, well, you can't really say that! We were just starting out, so I wanted to test the waters...啊，当、当然也不能那么说嘛！ 刚开始的时候就想试试水而已……

MDR(Sighs) So, how are you going to get another 22 players to join us? I mean, we gamers aren't exactly numerous to begin with, and this is a pretty old game too. Even if we went and asked people, they might not be interested, you know?唉……所以？你打算怎么召集另外的22名玩家？ 要知道咱们这里爱玩游戏的本来就没多少，而且这游戏也有些年头了，就算真的去邀请，她们也不一定会感兴趣吧？

Am RFBOh, that's simple. We'll just have to offer them an incentive!这个简单，只要有利可图的话！

MDRWhat incentive?有利可图？

Am RFBDidn't you say something about them browsing Grifchan regularly? If you use "that", they'll be jumping at the chance to take part.你不是说她们经常去匿名版刷帖子吗，只要用“那招”的话，她们绝对会踊跃参加的！

MDRWhat is "that", anyway?什么那招这招的？

Am RFBWell, to be precise, come a bit closer... (Whisper whisper whisper)具体来说的话，把耳朵凑过来…… （耳语耳语耳语）

MDRHm... Mhm... Ohhhh! That...that sounds really fun!嗯…… 嗯…… 哦哦！ 好、好像很有趣的样子！

Am RFBHehe, all we need to do is post something like that on Grifchan and the game will fill up in no time!嘿嘿，只要发送这样一封邮件到匿名版上，用不了多久，游戏里肯定会比现在更加热闹！

MDRPlus, we'll get to show off our skills to those noobs. I'm kind of looking forward to it now, hahaha!而且，这样一来也能在游戏里给这些菜鸡们展现一下咱们的实力了，想想还真有点期待呢，哈哈哈哈！

Am RFBWell, it's only to be expected since we're pros, hahahaha!毕竟有我这个老玩家在，那是当然的啦，哈哈哈哈！

Bang! Bang bang!咚！咚咚！

Doll Who Got Woken UpSHUT THE HELL UP!!!吵死啦——！！！

The two Dolls are swiftly silenced by the wrathful voice from next door, and they shush each other with index fingers held in front of their lips. However, they give each other a thumbs-up with their free hands...and so begins their plan.感受到隔壁传来的怒火，原本正在劲头上的两个人形赶紧拿食指抵在唇前相互噤声，但还是相互比了个拇指——开始了她们的计划。

Late at night, a post shows up on Grifchan...是夜，一封邮件出现在了格里芬匿名版上……

—Griffin HQ. It's morning, and the warm sunlight shines in through the skylight. The corridors are still quiet. Groups of two or three people walk by every now and then, but when they pass by the Data Room, something seems to catch their attention. After stopping and watching for a while, they enter.——格里芬总部。 早晨，和煦的阳光从天窗一侧照了下来。 走廊上现在还很安静，不时有三两个人形从这里经过，当她们靠近资料室的时候，似乎是被什么东西给吸引了，驻足观望一阵之后，纷纷走了进去。

Inside the Data Room, a large group of Dolls have congregated outside the door of the innermost room.走进资料室，人形们已经围在了最里面房间的门口。

CommanderWhat's so interesting?看什么好东西呢？

Doll PasserbyAh, good morning, Commander... It's Miss Kalina, something seems to be wrong with her.啊，指挥官早上好…… 是格琳娜小姐，她看起来不太对劲。

The Doll points inside the room, where Kalina is sprawled motionless on her desk. The Dolls don't think she's ill, probably because she's radiating an aura of unapproachability.顺着人形所指的方向朝里面看去，格琳娜正趴在办公桌上一动不动。 大概是因为浑身散发着不可靠近的气场，人形们才相信她并不是因为生病才这样。

KalinaAh... Good morning, Commander...啊……指挥官，早上好……

CommanderUgh, you look terrible... Are you alright?呃，看这脸色也是够呛…… 你还好吧？

KalinaUh... Yeah...啊……嗯！

Kalina forcefully slaps her cheeks, and after recovering her spirits, she seems a little better. ...Probably.格琳娜用力拍了拍双颊，抖擞精神之后，状态看起来总算好了一些。 ……大概。

KalinaSorry, I had a really long session of Radio Kalina last night... And I haven't been able to sleep because something's been bothering me lately...抱歉，昨天半夜做了一期加长版的深夜电台…… 又因为纠结非常恼人的事情，所以一直没有睡觉。

CommanderSo you pulled an all-nighter? This isn't a good habit, but if that's the reason, then you'd better go catch up on your sleep.所以就熬夜了吗？ 这可不算是好习惯，不过既然是这个原因，你还是回去补个觉比较好。

KalinaBut-but how could I do that?这、这怎么行？

CommanderIt's better than you wearing yourself out. Relax, the only thing that needs doing today is the accounting, and you can do that tomorrow. Leave whatever's been bothering you till tomorrow as well.再不行也比累垮了身体要好，放心吧，今天只有财务结算的工作，所以就算明天再做也来得及。 而你说的什么恼人事情也等明天再想吧。

Kalina...Ugh, the accounts ARE what's bothering me!……呜，我纠结就是财务结算！

Commander...What's wrong with the accounts?……财务结算怎么了？

KalinaHere's the thing... I was checking our income and expenditure for the previous quarter and I found that even after factoring in the funds we've been allocated and adding in all the commissions for all our future assignments, we won't be able to break even. And the worst part is that the discrepancy is only going to grow as time goes on!是这样……我昨天核算了一下我们到上一个季度的财务收支，发现除了下拨的资金以外，今后就算把每一次任务的抽成也算进来，也没办法填补我们日常的开支空缺。 最可怕的是，由此产生的收支差距还在增大！

CommanderWait a minute. So you're saying...等等，也就是说……？

KalinaYes, we're out of money. We're not penniless yet, but it's only a matter of time before we get there.嗯，我、我们没钱了。 虽然还没到一毛钱都不剩的程度，但不久之后也是差不多的结果。

CommanderWe haven't been able to accept commissions and fulfill contracts for various reasons recently, but that alone shouldn't be enough to put us into such a state.最近的确因为各种原因导致没有办法承接委托和派遣任务，但应该也不至于到这种地步。

KalinaNo, it's a stain on my professional career for allowing our finances to dip into the red!不，居然让部门财务陷入赤字，这绝对是我职业生涯里的污点！

CommanderWell, you don't need to be so hard on yourself. I'll talk to Miss Helian about this. Before that, you should go get some rest. You girls, take care of Kalina. I'm heading to my office for a bit.你也不要自责，这件事我会跟赫丽安小姐沟通的，在那之前，你先好好休息。 你们几个来照顾一下格琳娜，我去指挥室一趟。

Surrounding DollsSure thing!好的！

After sorting out everything, the Commander turns around and is about to leave the office before coming face to face with a couple of Dolls.把一切都安排妥当后，指挥官转身正要走出资料室，却没想到跟另外两个人形碰了个对脸。

R93Huh, the Commander's here!咦，指挥官刚好也在！

K5Good morning~早~上好~！

CommanderLet me guess, looking for me?看你们的意思是找我有事？

R93Well...we were mainly looking for Miss Kalina. It seemed like her sort of thing.啊……主要是找格琳娜小姐，也许她会感兴趣。

CommanderKalina burned the midnight oil and she's resting now. I'd advise you not to disturb her for the time being.格琳娜昨天熬了个通宵，现在正在休息，我建议你们先不要打扰她比较好。

K5I see. Well, that's a shame.这样啊，真可惜。

CommanderWhat exactly happened? Can you tell me about it?具体发生了什么事，能说给我听吗？

R93Well, a friend just saw this on Grifchan.就是刚才有同伴在匿名版上看到了这个。

R93 seems ready to demonstrate and gestures for me to check my personal data terminal. It shows a connection request coming from R93 herself. After clicking "accept", a message expands to fill the tablet's screen. There is a spiral-shaped logo on it.也许是早就准备好给格琳娜观看的缘故，R93示意我查看自己随身携带的数据终端，此时终端上显示着来自R93的连接请求. 确认同意后，一封邮件在面板上直接被展开，而上面有个螺旋状的LOGO被印在了落款处。

Commander..."New major event — 'The Division' Survival Tournament"? What's this, were you going to invite Kalina to play?“……大型活动——《全境封锁》生存竞赛？” 怎么，你们想找格琳娜玩游戏？

R93Not really. The important part is the reward — the winner gets a prize of 10 million dollars! 10 million!倒也不是，这封邮件的重点在于活动奖励——最后的赢家能获得一千万奖金，一千万哦！

CommanderOffering that kind of money is typically the lead-in to a scam of some sort. Sounds very sketchy to me.这种夸张的表述一般都是诈骗信息，没什么可信度。

K5You sound pretty familiar with this sort of thing?您看起来好像很有经验呢？

CommanderThings like this were common enough back in the peaceful days. And when you consider the state of the world now... You get my drift.很久以前的和平年代，这种事情就没少发生过，更不要说现如今的世界…… 算了，这种事情你们应该也明白的。

K5But I did a quick reading just now and my financial luck is going to be great today. No matter how you look at it, it all seems related to this game tournament. Are you really not going to consider it?!不过，我刚才占卜了一下，今天的确有非常大的财运，不管怎么看都和这场游戏活动有关， 真的不考虑一下吗？！

CommanderWell, you say that, but I'm sure nobody would be interested in a dubious message like...就算你这么说，也不会有人对这种搞不清真假的信息感兴趣的……

Kalina's VoiceDid somebody say 10 million bucks?!一千万在哪里！？

... ...Perhaps I spoke too soon, because someone actually IS interested in it.…… ……也许刚才的结论下得太早，毕竟感兴趣的人还真就有那么一位。

K5Ah, Miss Kalina!啊，格琳娜小姐！

CommanderHow come you're suddenly so full of energy? Are you alright?你怎么突然这么有精神，身体不要紧了吗？

KalinaI'm perfectly fine!我已经好了！

CommanderYou look much better now, but you didn't sleep at all last night, so maybe you shouldn't take this kind of suspicious news so seriously.虽然脸色看起来好很多，但毕竟整晚没休息，就别对这种不知真假的消息上心了。

KalinaWait a minute, Commander. Whether it's real or not, it's still 10 million dollars! If we can get our hands on that prize money, all our financial woes will be solved!等等，指挥官，不管是不是真的，这可是一千万呐！ 如果真能把它拿到手，那我们的财政赤字马上就能迎刃而解了！

CommanderUh, maybe you should calm down a little.呃，你先别这么激动。

KalinaHow can I stay calm after hearing that? This is my ticket to not being known as "the financial black hole" among the adjutant circle!很、很难不激动，这可是避免我在副官圈子里被当成“财务黑洞”来嘲笑的关键！

Commander...Do base adjutants actually have their own social scene?……原来副官也有圈子的吗？

KalinaR93, this message was posted on Grifchan, right?R93，这封邮件是投放在格里芬匿名版上了吗？

R93Huh? Y-yeah, but why?诶？是、是啊？

KalinaVery good, then our mission for today will be to take part in this event and win 10 million dollars!很好，那今天的主要任务就是参加这场活动，然后赚到一千万！

CommanderWait a minute, we're not on vacation today...等等，今天可不是休假……

K5But we haven't been deployed on any missions recently!但我们最近也没什么委派的任务了哟！

Commander...Right, I forgot about that part.……我倒是忘记了。

KalinaTherefore, I'm sure you understand just how important this is. Without that 10 million, we'll have nothing to do BUT go on vacation. So please, just for today, help me solve our financial problems!所以您就会明白这件事有多么重要，没有一千万的话，我们以后就只剩下休假了。 唯独今天，希望您也能帮我一起解决财务危机，拜托了！

CommanderYou're seriously going to solve our financial crisis by playing games? ...Oh well. But only for today.真打算靠玩游戏来解决财务危机吗？ ……没办法，那就仅限今天吧。

KalinaYou're the best!太好了！

CommanderI'm only doing this because I don't want you to be so frustrated, but you should know that this isn't the right way to solve your financial woes. And if we don't get that 10 million, I'll still have to consult Miss Helian about the matter.我做这个决定只是希望你不至于那么苦恼，但你也得清楚，这不是真正解决财务危机的办法。 如果最后拿不到这一千万，我还是要跟赫丽安小姐做检讨的。

KalinaNo problem! I'll go arrange things right away!没问题！那我现在就去安排喽！

Kalina's previous fatigue is swept away, and she rushes out of the room, brimming with energy.格琳娜一扫之前颓靡的状态，以更加饱满的精神冲出了宿舍。

Commander... This is a little worrying, but it's good that she's all cheered up now.…… 虽然有点不放心，但能让她打起精神来也不错。

—Manhattan, America.——曼哈顿•美国。

Kalina...Is this New York? I've seen pictures of it on the Net, but I didn't think they could put such a huge city into a game. This is amazing!……这、这里就是纽约吗？ 虽然在网上看过照片，但没想到有人能把这么大一座城市放进游戏里，真是太了不起了！

CommanderLeaving that aside for now, why are we the only two playing the game?且不说这个，为什么只有我们两个人来玩？

KalinaAw, playing games is easy! Just shoot the enemy until they die and you win!玩游戏这种事情很简单的啦，只要拿着枪打败敌人，胜利就是我们的！

ISACWarning. Contamination detected.警告：已侦测到感染。

KalinaHuh?诶？

CommanderContamination... Sounds like there's ELID infection in the area.感染……听起来有种坍塌粒子辐射的感觉。

KalinaS-surely it can't be that. It should be some other kind of disease, right?当、当然不会是那种东西啦，应该是别的什么疾病吧？

ISACWarning. Core temperature has fallen below ideal levels.核心体温已降至低于理想状态。

KalinaIs the game THAT realistic?!游戏要素这么丰富的吗！？

CommanderI mean, it's snowing really heavily... Though I have to say, the conditions this game is simulating are pretty harsh. Seems worse than the Green Zones.毕竟下着这么大的雪……不过这游戏模拟了相当恶劣的环境，大概是比绿区还要糟糕的程度吧。

DimaAgents, this is Dima. Things don't seem too bad on your end, but the mission takes priority no matter what. Enter the Dark Zone, obtain the medicine, then withdraw!特工，这里是蒂玛。 看来你那边的情况不算太糟糕，不管怎么说，眼下还是任务要紧，请尽快前往暗区取得药品并撤离！

KalinaSo our mission is to recover medicine? Speaking of which, who is this Dima person anyway?我们的任务是获取药品吗？ 话说回来，这个叫蒂玛的人是……？

DimaI am Agent Dima of the Strategic Homeland Division. I was only awakened several days ago, but from now on, I will be assisting you in completing this mission.国土战略局特工“蒂玛”。 虽然只是早几天被唤醒，但从现在起，就由我来协助你们完成这次的任务。

CommanderI see, so she's an in-game NPC. She'll probably teach us how to play the game.原来如此，是游戏里的NPC，她应该会引导我们如何进行游戏。

DimaIt seems your ISACs haven't malfunctioned yet, so why not check your status before heading out? I will provide more information when the need arises. Good luck, Agents.你的ISAC看起来还没出故障，不如在出发之前检查一下自身的情况。 我会在必要的时候为你提供更多的信息支持，特工，祝你好运。

【Transmission ends.】【通讯中断】

KalinaBy ISAC, was she referring to that AI-like voice?ISAC，就是刚才那个人工智能一样的声音吗……？

ISACIntelligent System Analytic Computer is activated. All ISAC systems are confirmed online. Please begin weapons check....电子智能解析系统启动，全部的ISAC系统确认都已上线。 请操纵武器以开始验证……

CommanderSee, this is the tutorial for new players.瞧，是新手指南。

KalinaHehe, do we even need such a thing?哼哼，这也需要指南吗？

Kalina winks at me, a confident look on her face.格琳娜冲这边眨了眨眼睛，露出一副自信的表情。

CommanderWell, our objective is just recovering medicine, but we'll probably run into a lot of trouble on the way, so we'd best be careful.虽然目标只是获取药品，但路上恐怕会遇到很多麻烦，要小心应对。

KalinaDon't worry. I don't get a chance to do this very often, but now that I'm in the game, I ought to show my stuff!放心好了，本来平时就没有多少机会，现在到了游戏里，也该我一展身手了~！

And so the pair — who have entered the game as agents — chatter cheerfully as they walk down the streets.以特工身份加入游戏的两个人，就这样有说有笑地朝着街道深处走去。

Soon, the sound of crisp gunshots wafts out through the fog.不久，从逐渐蔓延的雾气中传来了一阵清脆的枪声。

Dima... Unfortunately...…… 很遗憾……

—In the Commander's office.——指挥室。

R93Commander, Miss Kalina... You've finished already?指挥官，格琳娜小姐……你们这么快就结束了？

K5Let me guess, with the Commander around, it must've been an easy victory, right?不用说，有指挥官一起，肯定是赢了对吧？

CommanderAhem, see for yourself.咳，看看这位就知道了。

KalinaHuh...?啊……？

R93I take back what I just said...那我收回刚才的话……

KalinaDammit! I can't believe there were other players in the game besides us!讨厌啊！游戏里除了我们居然还有别的玩家！

CommanderWell, the game's offering a prize of 10 million dollars. Obviously there'd be lots of people competing for it.悬赏千万奖金的游戏，参与者自然不在少数。

KalinaNo, that's not the issue here. The point is - how is it possible that the opposition could kill us all in an instant?! This is just like, just like…what's the word again? It's at the tip of my tongue—不，这些都不重要，关键是为什么对面能在一瞬间就把我们全部干掉？ 这简直就像……就像那个什么来着？话到嘴边说不出来了——

CommanderYou mean... Someone was messing around?你是说……有人在搞鬼？

KalinaYes, you're absolutely right! That's got to be it!对对对！ 肯定是对面在搞鬼！

R93Actually, what if it's something else? I mean, the event is publicized on Grifchan, so it's possible that you were going up against...其实，会不会是另一种可能？ 因为这次活动被放在了匿名版上，所以上线的玩家可能是……

K5Tactical Dolls... I think?战术人形……吧？

CommanderThat's actually quite likely.这倒是真的有可能。

KalinaSo Dolls can take part in this tournament too?原来人形也可以参加比赛吗？

CommanderWell, the message didn't specify. Dolls with fire control cores have an overwhelming advantage in combat. There's no way that we, as humans, could beat them in the game... Still, that actually makes things easier for us.至少邮件上没说不行。 安装了火控系统的人形在战斗上有着碾压性的优势，作为人类玩家的我们肯定是没有办法在游戏里取胜的…… 不过，这样一来，事情反而更好办了。

Meanwhile, in the game...与此同时，游戏内……

Am RFBSpeaking of which, are we getting new players to join in already?话说是不是已经有玩家上线了？

MDRYou mean those two scrubs that we just slaughtered? Yeah, we're getting new players alright.你要是指刚才被咱们干掉的那两个菜得像人类的家伙，那大概就是了。

Am RFBHehehe, as I thought, even Dolls are motivated by money. Why don't we go on a stomping spree?嘿嘿嘿，果然就算是人形，也会被金钱打动呢。 来一场压倒性的猎杀怎么样？

MDROf course we can, but I have to hand it to you for coming up with this plan. You're so evil.当然可以，不过想出这个点子的你可真是坏透了。

Am RFBOh please, just wait until you see what comes next, hahahaha!哪里哪里，接下来更会让你刮目相看呢，哈哈哈哈！

MDRHahahahaha...哈哈哈哈哈……

MDRHuh...?咦……？

MDRH-how come it's gone?!怎、怎么就没了！？

Am RFBQuick, reconnect, reconnect!快点连接，快点连接！

MDRAh, don't worry, the game's just started, so we should still have enough time!啊，不要紧不要紧，这才刚刚开局，应该还来得及！

Am RFBBut we'll lose our early-game progress... Hurry, hurry!可是这样会错过前期发育的……赶紧赶紧！

Am RFBWhew~ We managed to sign in again...呼~ 总算又登录上来……

Am RFBNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!NOOOOOOOOOOOO！！！！

Dima(Sigh) Can I really count on these Dolls?唉，这些人形真能靠得住吗？

System20 players remaining.——游戏内剩余玩家：20人。

Stage 1-1 0：05哈德森难民营 主线1章 · 1-1

—Hudson Refugee Camp, Manhattan.——曼哈顿•哈德森难民营。

DimaIt seems your ISACs haven't malfunctioned yet, so why not check your status before heading out? I will provide more information when the need arises. Good luck, Agents.你的ISAC看起来还没出故障，不如在出发之前检查一下自身的情况。 我会在必要的时候为你提供更多的信息支持，特工，祝你好运。

R93Was that the NPC the Commander was talking about?这就是指挥官说的那个NPC吗？

K5There's nobody else but her, right... I see, it looks like she provides tutorials and suggestions depending on our game progression. Seems like a pretty useful NPC. However, she has an unlucky face.除她以外也没有别人了…… 原来如此，她好像可以根据我们的游戏进程来提供适当的教程和建议，是个很有用处的NPC呢。 不过，看起来不是个走好运的面相。

DimaThank you for your feedback. I will take it to heart.谢谢你的评价，我会铭记在心的。

R93Pffft, this NPC can respond appropriately to our comments.噗嗤，这个NPC好像能对我们说的话做出准确回应呢。

K5She seems to be a pretty high-end AI. Was the technology of that era this advanced?看来是相当高端的人工智能，那个年头的科技能达到这样的水平吗？

R93Whichever the case, some players do need NPCs like this to liven up the mood. Look at that shorty over there, she's been all nervous and jittery ever since she logged on with us just now.有没有达到这样的水平不说，有的玩家的确需要这样的NPC来活跃气氛呢。 看看旁边那个小家伙，从她跟着上线到现在已经开始瑟瑟发抖了。

PP-90Huh? I'm trembling?诶，我在发抖吗？

K5You're trying to put on a strong front, 90, but you're not used to this place and it's written all over your face.虽然强打精神，但对这里的不适应还是写在脸上了，90。

PP-90...Granted, I'm not very used to playing shooting games in simulated environments like this, but that's hardly enough to make me tremble. I mean, as long as our mission isn't too difficult... Right, Vivi?……虽然是很不习惯在这么拟真的环境下玩射击游戏，但我也不至于瑟瑟发抖。 只要是简单点的任务的话……对吧Vivi？

R93She's ignoring you.被无视了呢。

PP-90C-come on, say something!快、快说点什么呀！

Vector remains unresponsive to PP-90's prompt. Instead, she leans against a nearby piece of cover, then stands up and leans over it again... Finally, she raises her gun and accurately hits several beer bottles and empty cans in the distance.被催促的Vector没有作任何应答，而是在三个人形的注视下默默地在掩体上倚靠一下，又接着站起来再倚靠…… 最后她抬起枪来，准确命中了远处的几个啤酒瓶和空罐头盒。

DimaWell done, Agent. The streets are now fields of slaughter. Hopefully, your participation will bring a ray of hope to this city.干得好，特工。 现在大街小巷都变成了杀戮的战场，希望你的加入能给这座城市带来一线希望。

R93...Is she going through the newbie tutorial?……这是在学习新手教程吗？

K5Well, if we were to list the Dolls who always follow instructions to a tee, Vivi would have to be one of them.如果要列举有谁能在任何时候都严格按照规则来行动的人形，那肯定要有Vivi一份了。

PP-90Didn't you go through the tutorial as well?你们刚才没有学吗？

K5I skipped it all!我全跳过了！

R93Don't proclaim that so proudly in front of your squad leader!不要在队长面前一脸自豪地说这种话啊！

PP-90Speaking of which, how come you're also playing the game? And why are you calling Vivi your leader? We're not even on the same squad!话说回来，为什么你们也来玩游戏了，而且还管Vivi叫“队长”？ 我们又不是一个队伍的！

K5Well, the Commander said we'd get a share of the prize money if we won.因为指挥官说如果帮忙赢了比赛，就会把钱分一部分给我们。

R93Also, it seems that this game is a free-for-all, which means we can team up amongst ourselves. Since we're all here to help the Commander win, we'll have a better chance if we work together, right?而且这游戏好像每个人都是自由状态，也就是说可以自发组队的。 所以既然目标都是帮指挥官赢，那大家一起合作不就能增加战斗力了嘛。

PP-90Your motives are so impure... All Vivi needs is a reliable squadmate like me.明明就是动机不纯……Vivi只要有我这样可靠的队友就足够了。

VectorI think I could have handled this on my own without the extra manpower the Commander arranged for me. Still, with this many players, I'm sure the competition will be intense... Every extra companion will be someone else to look out for, but since this is what the Commander wants, I will accept this grouping.如果不是指挥官非要给我安排人手，我以为我一个人就够了。 不过，既然有这么多玩家参赛，激烈的竞争不会少吧…… 多一个同伴就多一分照料，既然是指挥官的意思，我姑且接受这样的组队。

R93Hehe, don't sound so reluctant. In any case, Squad Vivi is officially founded! Let's all do our best then, 90!嘿嘿，别说的那么勉强嘛，那么Vivi小队正式成立了~！ 请多指教啦，小90！

PP-90You should thank Vivi for her generosity... Hey, quit pulling my hair!你得感谢Vivi的慷慨……哇，别拽我的头发！

K5Speaking of which, did you make any special preparations for this tournament, Vivi? Do you have some sort of game plan?话说回来，Vivi队长有没有针对比赛做好什么万全的准备呢？ 来说说你是怎么打算的吧？

VectorDima just gave us some recommendations, didn't she? Before we can even consider winning, we have to solve the problem of having to keep ourselves warm. Then, we need to stay healthy, and we also have to procure supplies within the city...蒂玛刚才已经给过建议了不是吗？ 在赢得胜利之前，我们得先解决取暖问题，之后是保障健康，一些物资也需要在这座城市里搜索获得……

K5Those sound like basic needs for human survival.听起来几乎都是人类的生存所需呢。

R93Yes, yes, I know, they're the sort of external factors that we can normally disregard because we're Dolls...我懂我懂，就是那种完全可以无视的外部因素，毕竟作为人形，这其中的大部分因素在平时都不值得担心……

SystemPlayer "Pink Nyan Nyan Punch" has died of hypothermia.玩家“粉红喵喵拳”死于低温。

R93Ehh? Who's "Pink Nyan Nyan Punch"?! And how did she die from hypothermia, is she human or something?诶？“粉红喵喵拳”是谁啊！？ 而且死于低温什么的，难道她是人类？

K5Didn't the Commander say that all the players were Dolls?指挥官不是说参加游戏的基本都是人形吗？

DimaLooks like a squad of agents has taken casualties because they couldn't adapt to the environment. The current temperature in Manhattan is -25 degrees centigrade, going as low as -30 in some places. If you're not careful, you'll meet the same fate as that fallen agent. Please make sure to keep warm, Agents.看来已经有特工小队因为无法适应环境而减员了。 现如今曼哈顿的气温已经下跌到了零下二十五度，有些地方甚至低于零下三十度。 如果不谨慎对待的话，下场也不会比那些减员的特工好到哪里去吧。 特工，请务必注意保暖问题。

R93I don't feel anything though. Can we really freeze to death?明明什么感觉都没有，就、就真的能冻死吗？

VectorWell, the game is being played on Level II, after all. Our virtual avatars probably share certain algorithms with this world in order to maintain data compatibility. There are advantages and drawbacks to this, of course. We can use weapons freely, but it also means poor conditions will affect us, especially since we aren't used to taking human survival needs into consideration. In order to avoid danger, we should plan carefully and tread lightly.毕竟游戏被架设在了二级平层，为了能兼容数据，我们模拟出来的个体在算法上跟这个“世界”保持了一定的平衡。 这样有好也有坏，我们可以自由地使用武器，但恶劣的环境的确也会产生影响，尤其是从来不曾感受过人类生存需求的我们更容易出差错。 为了避免陷入危险境地，我们最好进行周密的计划，然后步步为营。

R93That sounds tough. K5, what did you say about our chances of winning earlier?听起来好难啊，K5，你之前说过我们有几率会赢的对吧？？

K5I think we shouldn't rely so much on fate when the game's just begun. Also, when you think about it, this kind of playstyle is pretty fun, isn't it? Oh yeah, why don't we find some enemies for target practice?我觉得还是别在游戏刚刚开始的时候就听天由命比较好。 而且认真想一想，这样游戏过程不也蛮有趣的嘛~！ 对了，我们要不要找个什么敌人来试试枪？

PP-90We're going on the offensive?我们要主动出击吗？

R93Well, if we need to prepare so much beforehand like Vivi says, then we probably won't run into any Doll players just yet, unless there really are idiots out there who'll just charge in without second thought...如果像Vivi说的那样需要做复杂的前期准备，那应该不会碰到什么人形玩家才对，除非真的有谁能笨到什么都不做就直接杀过来……

Bang bang bang bang bang—哒哒哒哒哒——

???For vodka—!!!为了伏特加——！！！

???YPAAAAAAAAA—!!!乌拉——！！！

Bang bang bang bang bang — bang bang bang bang—哒哒哒哒——哒哒哒哒——

R93...Er.……呃。

PP-90Whoa, they really are charging over!哇，真的打过来了！

K5Looks like you hold some potential as an oracle.看来你有当预言家的潜质呢。

R93I don't want that kind of potential!这种潜质我才不要！

K5Still, I expected this. Since they're here, let's shoot back! Get them!不过也正如我所料，既然来了，那我们也反击好啦，冲啊！

R93Uh... Leader, K5's charging out. Should we follow her?这……队长，K5要冲上去了，我们打吗？

VectorNo, we're falling back.不，我们后撤。

R93F-falling back?后、后撤？

K5Ehhhh—! But why?诶——！为什么？

VectorEverything in this city goes according to the rules of the game, which means we have no way of detecting the presence of other Dolls nearby. In other words, even if we beat our current opponents, we won't know for sure that there aren't any opportunists lurking in the shadows and waiting for a chance to pick off the survivors. So let's avoid a confrontation for now.在这座城市里，一切都是按照游戏规则运行的，也就是说我们没办法侦测周边还有没有其他的人形存在。 就算能打赢眼前的对手，也很难说不会有坐收渔翁之利的家伙在等着。这里先回避锋芒吧。

K5Aw— Well, that's a shame. My divination was telling me that we'd definitely be able to beat this wave!哎——这也太可惜了，根据我的占卜，这一波肯定能赢来着！

R93Weren't you the one who said we shouldn't rely on fate so much early on in the game?!之前是谁说不要在游戏刚刚开始的时候听天由命的！？

Inside the Hudson Refugee Camp...哈德森难民营内……

An enemy's skull explodes from a well-placed shot. Immediately after that, Squad Vivi passes through the perimeter with K5 in the lead, moving deep into the camp's interior.一个敌人被精准爆头之后倒在了地上，紧接着，由K5带头，Vector临时组成的“Vivi”小队快速穿过了封锁线，深入到了营地内部。

PP-90Vivi... Something's not right. I have a feeling that someone else is around...Vivi，这里……不太对劲吧。 总觉得还有别人在……

VectorThe enemy probably won't have been wiped out so soon, so it's good that you're staying alert. Although... Could you please stop hugging me?敌人应该不会那么快就消灭干净的，保持警惕是好事，不过…… 可以不要搂着我不放吗？

PP-90But I feel safer this way~这样我比较有安全感~

VectorBut if we get ambushed, neither of us will be safe.但要是被突然袭击，我们就全都不安全了。

DimaAgents, this location is being held by a large number of enemies. Please be careful.特工，这里已经被大量敌人占据了，请务必小心。

R93We knew that already!这种事情我们早就知道了！

R93Leader, they look like pretty tough customers, and things look even worse inside. Are you sure you want to continue onward?队长，这些家伙看起来都很难对付，里面的恐怕更不好惹，还要继续往前走吗？

K5These enemies are designed to be killed by players, so why shouldn't we go ahead?这些敌人被设计出来就是要被我们解决的，为什么不呢？

R93You never know...怕的是有个万一……

K5Relax, I've got a feeling that we'll make it out in one piece even if we're in dire straits!放心好了，我有种能置死地而后生的预感！

R93Ugh... Just let Leader decide what to do.唔……具体怎么做，还是让队长来决定吧。

VectorAh...啊……

VectorI was only thinking about how to operate on my own.我只考虑了自己单独行动的计划。

PP-90Vivi...spare a thought for me, won't you?Vivi……多少为我着想一下好不好！

K5And me!还有我还有我！

VectorUgh...唔……

R93I guess our leader isn't too used to working with so many people, huh?咱们的队长大概还不适应这么多人协同合作吧？

Vector...The terrain here is comparatively enclosed. If we can lure our pursuers here, we should be able to bog them down. That way they won't be able to keep chasing us, whether they're one or many. If you can keep up with me...……这里的环境相对封闭，如果吸引追兵到这里来，也许能被这些敌人给拖住。 这样不管是一个人还是多个人，都不会被她们给缠上了。 如果你们能跟上我的步伐的话……

K5Ohhh! So all we have to do is stick to your ass, right? Piece of cake!哦！只要跟在Vivi队长屁股后面就行了对吧，这太简单了！

Stage 1-2 0：05哈德森难民营 主线1章 · 1-2

DimaEnemy eliminated, agents. Looks like you've got a lot of potential!敌人被消灭了，特工，看来你很有潜质！

K5Screw potential, we're stuck in a dead end now, aren't we?有潜质能管什么用，这不还是走到死路了嘛！

PP-90There ought to be other routes we can take. I'll take a look up ahead!应该还有别的路可以走吧，我到前面去看看！

VectorWill you be alright going by yourself?你一个人去不要紧吗？

PP-90(Smirks) It's enough that you're concerned about me, Vivi.呼呼呼，能被Vivi这样关心着就足够了。

VectorNo, I'm just worried that you won't be able to complete the mission...不，我只是担心你能不能完成任务……

PP-90Relax, Vivi, I'll come back to you ASAP!放心吧Vivi，我会尽快回到你身边的！

VectorLook, it's not... She sure runs fast...所以说不是…… 跑得还真快……

K5Oh! Wait for me, I'm coming too!啊！等等，我也要去！

R93Don't follow her just to look for some excitement!你就别跟着凑热闹了！

K5Why can't I?为什么？

R93I'm actually kind of afraid that you'll run around and get 90 in trouble as well.别的不说，我反正挺害怕因为你胡乱跑动结果让90也跟着倒霉的。

K5Me? Run around? I didn't, did I? I mean no disrespect, but it was Leader Vivi who had chosen this route, right?我？乱跑？没有吧？ 虽然这么说是有点不尊重，但这不是Vivi队长决定的路线吗？

R93You were the one dragging us along the whole way! And while we did manage to avoid the enemy, we also ended up running into lots of dead ends. We even retraced our own path a few times.我们全程可是被你拖着跑的！ 而且拜你所赐，从刚才开始虽然避开了敌人，但也走了不知多少条死路，有些地方甚至路过了两次。

K5No way, it's not that bad, is it?也、也没那么严重吧？

VectorWhile I don't know why the people behind us are dragging their feet, it's best to be careful.虽然不知道后面的人为什么拖拖拉拉的，但还是小心为好。

R93They might be dragging their feet, but they'll catch up to us eventually if we waste too much time. I don't want the squad's luck to go bad because of avoidable mistakes...拖拖拉拉是一回事，我们耽搁太久的话还是会被追上的。 我可不想队伍的运气因为人为因素变得极差……

K5Alright then, it's not like I don't understand why this worries you... Oof!好吧，既然你有这份担心，我也不是不能理解……嘿咻！

R93What are you up to now?你又打算干什么？

K5Relax~ Since leading the way isn't my forte, I'll contribute with my specialty... Let's do a divination to decide on which way to go!放心~既然带路不是我的强项，那就从我擅长的地方入手…… 来占卜一下该走哪条路好了！

R93...I knew it - all that stuff you said about not leaving things up to fate was a load of bull.……你刚才口口声声说不要在游戏开始的时候就听从命运安排果然是骗人的。

K5That was then, this is now.此一时彼一时嘛。

R93Even so, it's not like you have a tarot deck here. How exactly are you going to divine the answer?就算此一时彼一时，这里不也没有塔罗牌嘛，你打算怎么占卜？

K5Don't be ridiculous! Why would I need a tarot deck for a petty divination like this?笑~话！这种程度的占卜哪里用得着塔罗牌？

R93Y-you mean, you've got an even more powerful method in store?难、难道你还有更厉害的方法！？

K5I'm going to throw shoes.扔鞋啊。

R93K5, did you see Leader's mouth twitch just now? You saw it, right?!K5，你有没有看到队长刚才嘴角抽了一下，看到了吧！？

K5Do you not approve, Leader?Vivi队长觉得不妥吗？

VectorI don't really want the Commander to find out we died because we were throwing shoes around. Also, could you not waste time on things like this?我不太想被指挥官知道我们是死于扔鞋。 而且你们能不能别在这种事情上浪费时间？

K5Don't worry. It'll be over right away! Now be a good girl, R93, and hand! Over! Your! Shoes!放心吧，马上就会好了，R93你也老实一点，乖•乖•把•鞋•交•出•来！

R93Ehhhhh?! Why me?! Hey! Wait, noooo, stay back!!!诶，为什么是我！？ 噫，等等，你、你不要过来啊！！！

——

R93Huh? I hear gunshots! Wait a minute... I said wait, let go of my shoes!哎，有枪声！ 停一下……快停一下，别脱了！

K5What the heck!干嘛！

VectorListen to that... The enemies behind us are exchanging fire!这个声音……是后面那些敌人开始交火了！

K5Huh, so you're saying we did it?诶，也就是说我们成功了吗？

R93That's got to be it...right? Jeez, you nearly sacrificed my shoes for nothing... Hey, quit eyeing them!肯定是成功了……吧！ 真是的，差点把我鞋子给献祭掉……喂，别再盯着它看了！

VectorEveryone, gear check. We'll leave once 90 returns.全员，检查一下身上携带的道具和装备，等90回来之后我们就撤离。

K5Huh? We're just going to leave?哎？这就要走吗？

R93Do you really want to do a divination so badly?你就那么想过一次占卜的瘾吗？

K5I'm just thinking that we might be pretty slow, but they seem even slower. Don't you want to see who's coming after us?我只是在想虽然我们的速度已经很慢了，但对面看起来更加慢吞吞的，你们不好奇在后面追的到底是谁吗？

VectorWe don't need to waste time on our pursuers. Once 90 returns, we'll leave immediately.我们没必要把时间浪费在追兵身上，等90回来我们就立刻撤离。

PP-90I'm back! Did you just say you needed me, Vivi?我回来了！刚才Vivi是不是发出了需要我的声音？

VectorNot really... Did you find a way out?并没有…… 找到出路了吗？

K5It's okay if you didn't, I can still— mmpphh!找不到的话也没关系，我还有……唔——唔！

PP-90Hm? How come the two of you suddenly became such good friends while I was gone?咦，怎么我不在的这段时间，你们两个关系变得这么好了？

R93Not at all! Hurry up and get to the point!完全没有！赶紧说正事吧！

PP-90Kay~ Vivi, I found a zipline that'll get us out of here. I tried it and it took me out of the refugee camp. Also, I realized that the safe house marked on the map is not too far from here.好的好的~ Vivi，我找到了可以离开这里的滑索，刚才试了一下，从那里可以离开难民营。 然后在离开的时候，我发现地图上标注的藏身处距离很近的样子。

VectorA safe house, you say?藏身处吗？

DimaSafe houses are excellent places to rest and regroup. If you have adequate supplies, you can craft gas masks there, which are essential in the Dark Zone.藏身处的话，可以作为很好的休整地点，如果资源充沛，还可以制作在暗区当中不可或缺的防毒面具。

VectorExcellent. We'll pull out now and begin searching for resources. 90, lead the way.很好，我们就从那里撤离，然后开始搜索物资，90，前面带路。

PP-90Sure!嗯！

Stage 1-3 0：05哈德森难民营 主线1章 · 1-3

—Not long ago, a squad that had been hiding in the shadows since the beginning of the game stops following Squad Vector.——不久之前，一支从游戏开始时便隐匿在暗处的小队停下了继续跟踪Vector小队的脚步。

While they are stationary, they occasionally come under the NPC enemies' attacks, but three of the squad members make short work of them. However, their leader remains motionless and gives her squadmates no indication on how to proceed. She merely studies the holographic map projected from her wristwatch with a delighted gleam in her eyes.这段时间，不时会有路过的NPC敌人对她们发动进攻，但在三名队员的配合下完全可以轻松消灭。 只是队长并没有任何动作，也没有直接给队员以指挥，她只是查看着腕表中投影出来的全息地图，并乐在其中。

—Until one of her squad members has finally had enough.——直到一名队员彻底失去了耐心。

416Come on, don't you have a goal in mind, even if it's to win by killing off everyone else?也差不多了吧，哪怕是干掉所有人然后获胜也好，难道没有明确的目标吗？

UMP45The objective is to win. I explained that before we logged on.目标就是赢。 上线之前我应该说明过的。

416Explained? All you said was "Let's go get paid!" and that was it. What about a concrete plan of action?说明？你只说了句“我们把这笔钱弄到手吧！”然后就没别的了。 行动计划呢？

UMP9Aw, don't be in such a hurry, I'm sure 45 must be coming up with something. If you're feeling bored, we can go trade shots with the surrounding NPCs~ Who knows, we might be able to pick up some ration cans or whatnot from them?别着急嘛，45姐一定是正在做打算。 如果觉得无聊的话，我们可以跟附近的NPC敌人再切磋一下——万一能从他们身上翻出罐头之类的呢？

416You don't win by picking up cans!冠军可不是靠捡罐头赢来的！

Pink Nyan Nyan PunchBut isn't this nice, 416? At least we can enjoy a good rest while we wait...这样不也挺好嘛416，至少我可以在等待的时间里享受到充分的休息……

416...?!……！？

416Are you Gr G11?!你是G11吧！？

Pink Nyan Nyan PunchWhat are you talking about, of course it's me.你在说什么，当然是我啊。

416What the hell is this "Pink Nyan Nyan Punch" crap?!“粉红喵喵拳”是个什么鬼东西！？

Pink Nyan Nyan PunchOh... I forgot to hide my username.啊……忘记隐藏ID了。

416Hide your ID?隐藏ID？

UMP9I think it's a game setting... Players can't see each other's usernames for privacy reasons. It's the same for an ad hoc squad like ourselves.大概是游戏的设定吧…… 为了隐蔽，玩家之间是看不到彼此的ID的，像我们现在自发组队的情况下就是这样。

416I know that, but why did you pick such a weird name?这我知道，我说的是为什么起这种怪名字？

Pink Nyan Nyan PunchYou don't understand the wisdom behind this...but I don't blame you.你不明白其中的价值……我不怪你。

416I don't give a damn about its wisdom, but I do NOT want to see that name again!有什么价值都跟我没关系，但我不想再看到这名字第二遍的心情是真的！

Pink Nyan Nyan PunchFine, I won't let you see it, then. Those enemies you took out just now dropped a lot of stuff, I'll go loot their bodies.好啦，那就不让你看了。 刚才干掉的敌人身上掉了不少东西，我去捡一下。

416I don't care where you go as long as you get that username away from me.去哪里都好，总之让你这个ID离我远一点。

416...Dammit, she can barely keep her eyes open most of the time, but she perks up the moment she starts playing games.……真是的，明明平时连眼睛都睁不开，一到游戏里却又来精神了。

SystemPink Nyan Nyan Punch has obtained Water.粉红喵喵拳 已取得 水。

UMP9Ahahaha, so the system displays your name?啊哈哈哈，原来系统还是会显示名字的吗？

SystemPink Nyan Nyan Punch has obtained a Chocolate Bar.粉红喵喵拳 已取得 巧克力棒。

SystemPink Nyan Nyan Punch has obtained Electronic Parts. Pink Nyan Nyan Punch has obtained Electronic Parts. Pink Nyan Nyan Punch has obtained Electronic Parts.粉红喵喵拳 已取得 电子零件。 粉红喵喵拳 已取得 电子零件。 粉红喵喵拳 已取得 电子零件。

UMP9Whoa, 416's fists are clenched so tight they're trembling.哇，416的拳头捏到发抖了耶。

416Why can't the two of you just be normal for once?!你们一个两个的到底能不能正常点！？

UMP9Aw, don't be so hung up on it. Actually, Gr G11's username is pretty good. I mean, everyone goes around calling themselves "Verminator" or "Lobocop", but I'm sure nobody can bear the shame of being killed by "Pink Nyan Nyan Punch."也别那么纠结嘛，G11这个ID其实也不错啊。 就像“终结者”或“机械战警”这种名字已经满大街都是了，但肯定没有人能承受被粉红喵喵拳击杀的耻辱。

416Just having someone with that username around me is shameful enough, okay?!光是有这样ID的家伙跟在身边就已经很羞耻了好吗！？

Pink Nyan Nyan PunchYou're still on about that? I got all the loot already.我都出去捡那么多东西回来了，你怎么还在说这件事？

UMP9Yeah yeah, you ought to relax and be more true to yourself. After all, it's just a game, right?就是就是，是时候放开一点，面对自己真实的内心了，这可是在玩游戏啊~！

416You are the ones who brought it up again, aren't you? Besides, you're basically rubbing it in my face!刚刚把话题又扯回来的明明是你们吧？ 归根结底都是你们在做这种让人没办法无视的行为不是吗？

Pink Nyan Nyan PunchIt's okay if you can't appreciate my choice of username yet, but you'll understand its greatness once I kill an enemy.没关系，虽然你现在还不能接受我的ID，但等到我击杀了敌人，你就知道这名字有多好了。

416Save it for when you actually do it.那就等你做出这样的丰功伟绩之后再说吧。

ISACWarning. Core temperature dropping.警告，核心体温正在下降。

416The environment in this game sure is harsh... Go check if there are any clothes to keep you warm in the stuff you just picked up.这个游戏的环境也是真的恶劣…… 快看看你刚才捡到的东西里面有没有可以保暖的衣服？

Pink Nyan Nyan PunchI only have a soda, does that work?只有汽水可以吗？

416Of course not!不可以！

ISACWarning. Risk of hypothermia is rising.警告，低体温症风险正在升高。

416Seriously, ever since we logged on, we've been woefully unprepared. If you still have no idea what we should do next, at least let us look for some warm clothing to protect us against the cold?说真的，从上线开始我们就完全没有准备任何东西。 如果你还不知道该做点什么，那我们起码去找点御寒的衣物吧？

Pink Nyan Nyan PunchActually, I HAVE been looking for clothes, but for some reason all the backpacks along the way were emptied out.其实我已经找过了哟，但不知道为什么，路上所有的包包都已经被谁给翻过了。

416...You're right, I would have noticed it earlier if you had actually found any clothes.……也对，如果你找过，我应该会更早注意到你那个ID。

Pink Nyan Nyan PunchNow who's bringing that topic up again?话题是不是又要被扯回来了？

416Erk! Forget it, I need to forget that ASAP.唔……！ 算了，唯独这件事情一定要赶快忘掉。

UMP9Still, these low-temperature environments are really dangerous. It's only a game, but it sure brings back memories. Fortunately we don't have huge cannons firing at us this time round.不过这种低温环境的确很危险啊，虽然只是游戏，但过去的事情也仿佛历历在目呢。 好在这次行动没有什么超级巨炮在威胁我们，

416Fortunate or not, it doesn't change the fact that we're about to freeze to death! Since we don't have clothes to keep warm, we should at least find a place to make a fire.再好也解决不了我们快被冻死的问题！ 既然没有保暖的衣物，那至少应该找个地方烤烤火。

UMP9Aw, don't worry. What sort of game would freeze you to death right out of the gate...不要紧啦，哪有游戏会在一开始的时候就把人给冻死……

SystemPlayer "Pink Nyan Nyan Punch" died of hypothermia.玩家“粉红喵喵拳”死于低温。

UMP9Whoa whoa whoa, how come Gr G11 died all of a sudden?!哇哇哇，G11怎么突然就死掉了！？

416Now everyone in the game knows there's a player called "Pink Nyan Nyan Punch". Was that the reason you picked that name, Gr G11...?这下整个游戏的人都知道有个家伙名叫“粉红喵喵拳”了。 这就是你起这名字的根本目的吗，G11……

UMP9This is bad, we'll freeze to death too if we stay here any longer! What should we do next...? We don't know where that NPC called Dima has gone to either. She was halfway through a greeting before she suddenly hung up, like we scared her off.这可糟了，如果继续待在这里的话，我们也会被冻死的！ 接下来该怎么办呢……也不知道刚才那个叫蒂玛的NPC跑哪里去了。 在语音里打了声招呼就突然挂断，好像被我们吓了一跳似的。

416There's something wrong with her. Or rather, this entire tournament is more than what meets the eye...那个家伙看起来也不对劲，不如说这场比赛本身就有蹊跷……

UMP9But you ended up joining anyway, didn't you?但你不还是来玩了吗？

416Because Gr G11 kept nagging me... (Sighs) Well, I thought I'd humor her, but she got eliminated right away. Also, if you really want the prize money, then we'd better get a move on before we all freeze to death.因为G11啰嗦个没完……唉，玩就玩吧，结果她倒是先退场了。 如果真的想赢比赛拿钱，那就在我们都冻死之前行动起来吧。

416Oi, 45!喂，45！

UMP45Hm~ This map of Manhattan sure is interesting.呼~曼哈顿的地图研究起来真是有趣……

416I thought you'd already logged out of Level II and fallen asleep.我还以为你已经离开二级平层去睡觉了呢。

UMP45I was simply taking my time to study the locations and status of the Griffin Dolls.我只是花点时间观察到了格里芬人形现在所处的状态，包括她们现在在哪儿。

UMP9Wow, that's amazing! How did you do that?哇，好厉害，怎么做到的！

UMP45Oh, I just made some "little preparations" to ensure our victory... Where's Gr G11?为了获胜，刚才做了点“小准备”……G11呢？

416She froze to death because you were twiddling your thumbs.因为你在这里磨磨蹭蹭的，已经冻死了。

UMP45I see.这样啊。

416What the hell do you mean "I see"?! We've only just started and we've already taken casualties! You really think we can keep on playing like this?什么叫“这样啊”？刚开始就出现伤亡，你确定这游戏还玩得下去？

UMP45Well, Gr G11 was never suited to surviving in such harsh conditions. Besides, this is a game. Don't take it so seriously. Come, it's time to enjoy the show those Griffin Dolls will be putting on for us.G11的确不适合在这么恶劣的环境下生存，而且本来就是游戏，别那么认真。 走吧，是时候去享受格里芬人形为我们带来的好戏了。

416Do you have a plan?你有什么计划吗？

UMP45A plan? Oh ja, a plan that will ensure an easy victory for us.计划？是的，一套可以保证我们稳赢的计划。

416Then what about Gr G11?那G11怎么办？

UMP45She can still be of use. 9, take everything Gr G11 was carrying.她还可以发挥一点剩余价值。 9，把G11身上的东西都带上吧。

UMP9Leave it to me~!交给我啦~！

416As ruthless as ever...真是一点都不客气的家伙……

Commander...How did things end up like this?……事情怎么成了这个样子？

—Inside the Griffin Ops Room. The tactical display terminal shows a map of "The Division", and many dots within the Manhattan Quarantine Zone can be seen converging on the Dark Zone.——格里芬指挥室。 指挥室内的作战终端显示器上此刻已经投放出了《全境封锁》的地图，而在整个曼哈顿隔离区内可以看到许多特殊的点正在朝着暗区的方向移动。

KalinaDon't tell me...these are all "players"?这些……该不会都是“玩家”？

CommanderTo be precise, they're our other Dolls. Looks like that message on Grifchan spread far and wide.确切地说，是我们其他的人形。 看来匿名版上的那条消息已经完全传播出去了。

KalinaIs everyone aiming for the prize money too...? No, we can't give in even if they're our own people. Do your best, Vector!难道大家也都是为了奖金…… 不行，就算是自己人也绝不能退让。 Vector，加油啊！

CommanderI don't think they can hear you. After all, there's no way for players in the game to communicate with the outside world.她们应该是听不到的，毕竟游戏跟外界的通信是完全断绝的。

KalinaComms are completely cut off?! Argh, I can't believe we're reduced to watching helplessly while such an important battle is taking place. I'm so nervous!完全断绝！？ 呜呜，这么重要的战斗我们却只能眼巴巴看着，太紧张了！

M500Morning, Commander!指挥官，早上好！

IDWGood morning da nyaaaaa!! Wow, what's this? It looks fun ~nya.早上好哒喵——！！！ 哇！这是什么，看上去好好玩啊喵？

CommanderAh, this is...啊，这个是……

M500Wow, it's "The Division"!哇，是《全境封锁》！

CommanderCorrect.没错。

M500This game is a classic, I love it! Do you play too, Commander?这游戏可太经典了，我超喜欢的！ 原来指挥官也在玩吗？

KalinaNonono, we're just watching Vector and the others play.不不不，只是在看Vector她们玩。

IDWAh, I get it ~da nya! This must be one of those legendary "live stream" things ~nya!啊！我明白了喵！ 这就是传说中的直播啊喵！

Commander...Eh, I guess.……嗯，算是吧。

IDWThat's so nice... Say, Commander, could we stay here and watch for a bit?真好啊……指挥官，我们能留在这里看一会儿吗？

CommanderOf course you may.当然可以。

M500Woohoo! Find a good spot, IDW!好耶！IDW，快找个好位置！

IDWGot it ~nya!好的喵！

KalinaA livestream? That's right, a livestream!直播？ 对了，直播！

CommanderWhat do you have in mind now?你又想到什么了？

KalinaI've got a way to save us from our financial woes! Wait for me!我有办法挽救财政危机了，等我一下！

Kalina leaves the Commander and the others to spectate the game as she dashes out of the command room with great determination. Meanwhile, the tactical terminal shows the latest battle taking place in the streets of Manhattan...留下指挥官等人在这里面面相觑，下定决心的格琳娜一溜烟跑出了指挥室。 而作战终端显示器上，曼哈顿的街道上已经爆发了新的战斗……

... About 10 minutes later, the command room has slowly filled up with Dolls.…… 十分钟后，指挥室内慢慢聚集起了许多的人形。

KalinaJust! Imagine! That! You just saw it, folks - Vector chose to lay low right at the start of the battle! It turned out to be the right call and she managed to deceive the opposition, forcing them to retreat!真！没！想！到！ 大家都看到了吗，战斗才刚刚开始，Vector她们就果断采取了回避锋芒的行动，没想到成功骗到了对手，结果全身而退！

DollsOooooh!哦哦——！

KalinaHer stealthy and evasive tactics are really heating things up right off the bat!这样来去无踪的行动方式，无疑是在开场就把气氛给渲染到了最紧张的高点！

DollsAhhhhhh!哦哦哦——！

CommanderWhat's this, Kalina...?那什么，格琳娜……？

KalinaOh, are you going to join us too, Commander? Come come come, this is the once in a lifetime, Griffin-only winner-takes-all betting pool for "The Division"!啊，指挥官也要来参加吗！ 快来吧快来吧，这可是千载难逢的“格里芬限定！首届《全境封锁》最终赢家大竞猜！”活动哦！

CommanderSo this was your eureka moment just now...?谁会想到你之前灵光一闪的是这个……

Kalina(Teehee, I won't let such an opportunity slip by.) Come, come, step right up, step right up! Don't be afraid! Support your favorites with everything you have!（嘻嘻，我可不会放过任何一个机会的。） 来来，大家拿出信心来为自己中意的小队献上最重要的支持吧！

Doll AI-I want to bet on Squad Vivi!请，请为我投Vivi小队！

Doll BOur friends are taking part, so I'm betting on them!我们的同伴也参加了，我要投她们一票！

Doll CThe battle's only just begun, but I'm sure that my comrades will crush the opposition! I've bet everything I have on you guys, so get them! YPAAAAAA—!!!战斗才刚刚开始，我敢说我的同志会摧枯拉朽地干掉一切！ 我已经为你们拼上全部身家了，给我冲啊，乌拉——！！！

Doll DHuh? Why are there so many Dolls in the command room?咦，指挥室怎么那么多人形……

Doll EWhat's this? It looks fun! I want to take part too!这是什么好玩的东西？我也要参加！

CommanderThis place has never been this lively before...这里什么时候都没有像今天这么热闹……

KalinaWe haven't even reached the mid-game yet. Just sit back and watch!这还没到中场阶段呢，您就好好看着吧！

CommanderI'd much rather you just tell me the outcome directly.如果可以的话，我更希望你回头直接把结果告诉我。

More and more Dolls crowd into the command room, until everyone's standing shoulder to shoulder. After struggling and failing to head outside to get a breath of fresh air, the Commander gives up and returns to studying the map of Manhattan.越来越多的人形挤进了指挥室，空间已经被压缩到了肩并肩的程度。 在尝试出去透透气未果后，指挥官也只好把目光继续放在了那张曼哈顿地图上。

The shadow of violence hangs over 5th Avenue, and criminals are doing as they please on their newfound turf. They stand on the roofs of derelict police cars, as though trampling them underfoot allows them to look down on all forms of authority. However, this is the only time they can display such arrogance.已经被暴力阴影所笼罩的第五大道上，罪犯们正在如今已属于他们的领地上肆意妄为。 昔日的警车已被他们踩在脚下，仿佛站在车顶上，他们就能藐视一切秩序。 但这般骄横却也仅限此时。

A bullet rips through the air and downs a luckless soul. The enemy immediately lashes out, firing wildly at the source of the gunshot.当破空而来的子弹穿透其中一个倒霉鬼后，敌人便立刻发狠，一边胡乱放枪一边朝声音的方向冲了过来。

Before the smoke from that gunshot has even faded away, another tongue of flame spews forth, delivering a lethal blow to the attackers. The enemies fall amidst gunfire, one after the other, until the ammunition runs out.——射出那枚子弹的枪口上青烟还未散去，便再次喷出了火舌，对来袭者予以致命打击。敌人在枪声中一个接一个地倒下，直到弹药用尽。

Though the enemy has been pretty much wiped out, one dying criminal squirms on the ground, desperately trying to reach for his dropped weapon with his dying breath. Just as he's about to touch it, his hand is pinned to the ground by a little boot with a skeleton motif on it.敌人被悉数消灭，即便如此，仍有奄奄一息的匪徒匍匐在地上，要去拿回刚才失手掉落的武器。 在即将碰到的瞬间，他的手被一只印有骷髅图案的小皮靴给牢牢踩在了地上。

M870Surprise, moron! The way you're struggling reminds me of the gum from yesterday that I just couldn't scrape off my boot, but it's over for you now! Don't worry, I'll find a VIP seat for you in the dumpster. Right, you get to punch his ticket, rookie. Say something.Surprise，蠢蛋！ 你挣扎的样子就像昨天粘在我靴子上怎么也甩不掉的泡泡糖纸，但一切都结束了！ 不用担心，我会帮你在垃圾桶里找个VIP位的！ 好，开罚单的事情就交给你了新人，来说点什么。

VSK-94You want me to say something? Uh, um, ahem...要发言吗？这个这个，咳咳……

M870Well said, now onto the collection of evidence!说得好，现在是调查取证阶段！

VSK-94...But I didn't even say anything!……我还什么都没说呢！

ART556Here comes the Boss' capable deputy, ART55... Ack! (Whimpers) O-okay, fine, I'll start investigating now! Let's see, they've got... Is that a water pipe that they ripped out? Ah forget it, it's a lethal weapon all the same.来了来了，大哥的得力助手——ART-55……啊噗！ 呜呜……这、这就开始调查！ 我看看，他们持有……那是拆下来的水管吗？算了，一样是致命武器。

ART556 places the plastic pipe that P7 just handed her in front of the criminal sprawled on the ground.ART-556把P7递过来的塑料水管摆在了倒地的匪徒面前。

P7That doesn't look too good. Move it closer to this side.这样摆放不太好看呢，再往这边一点。

ART556Over here? How about now?这边吗？这样？

P7...Alright, perfect!……好，就这样就这样，完美！

ART556Muahahaha, I can't believe he had such a vicious weapon in his possession. They're clearly a gang of extremely dangerous thugs.哇哈哈哈，竟然持有这么残忍的凶器，毋庸置疑，这是一群非常危险的暴力分子。

P7On the flip side, wiping out a criminal syndicate like this is a blessing for the city. Hats off to us for once again for vanquishing evil and protecting the peace!但是反过来说，消灭这样的犯罪团伙，对城市来说是一种幸运。 而且不愧是我们，又一次铲除了罪恶，守护了和平！

M870Sodas taste best after restoring peace to the city!守护了城市的安宁之后饮下的苏打水才是最棒的！

VSK-94Still, we barely managed to recover any supplies from these enemies. They've got plenty of arms and ammo, but not enough food or other supplies.不过，能从这些敌人身上搜到的物资还是太少了，虽然装备弹药有很多，但食物之类的总是不够。

ART556All the supply points we've come across so far have been ransacked. Someone's been collecting supplies ahead of us!我们到现在路过的所有物资点都是被搜刮过的，一定是有人抢先我们一步在搜集物资了！

P7(Sobs) Chocolate bars! My chocolate bars!呜呜，巧克力棒！我的巧克力棒！

VSK-94These things are usually first-come-first-served. Since most of the early-game supplies have already been looted and we just fought quite a few battles, the supply situation might become even more dire going forward. We need to ensure we have ample supplies in order to carry on, M870.这种东西一般是谁先抢到就归谁，不过前期的物资已经被搜刮过一轮了，刚才又发生了不少次战斗，所以接下来可能会更加紧缺。 为了保证行动顺利，M870，我们也得保证后续有充足的物资补给。

M870We'll think about that later. Right, we need to wrap this up properly. Huddle closer so we can take a group photo while we still have such a good "backdrop". Alright, ready? Say chee—这种事情我们之后再考虑。 好了，事情的结束总要有点仪式感，都靠近一点，来拍一张合影，趁现在有地上那么好的一堆“背景”。 都准备好了吧，说，茄——

DimaAgents, the weather is getting worse. Delaying any further will severely hinder the operation. Please proceed to the Dark Zone as soon as possible and find the medicine!特工，天气已经开始恶化了，再拖下去恐怕会对行动产生严重影响。 请务必尽快抵达暗区找到药品！

M870Why is it that EVERY TIME I'm enjoying myself, this woman gets up in my business with that infuriating mug of hers? Can't we turn her off?为——什么，这个女人总是在我正开心的时候把那张天使看到了也会堕落的脸杵在我面前呢？ 不能把她的通讯关掉吗？

ART556I tried, but it doesn't seem to work. Even turning off the game's sound effects doesn't help.我试过了好像不行，就算把游戏的音效之类的全关掉也没用呢。

VSK-94I tried turning off a few things myself, but there's this music which keeps playing. It doesn't seem to be coming from the game itself.我也关掉了一些，不过这个音乐倒是一直还在响，听起来也不像是游戏里原本自带的。

P7Ah, it's coming from the law enforcement mixtape I made. Do you like it?啊，是我准备的执法专用音乐，喜欢吗？

VSK-94It's kind of noisy.有点吵。

ART556Yeah, the perps are all dead. You should play it again when the mood's just right.嗯，罪犯已经被消灭了，那就等气氛刚刚好的时候再播放吧。

P7Tsk, looks like you just don't have the refined taste that I do.嘁嘁，看来你们的欣赏水平还不能达到我这样的高度。

Ka-click.咔擦。

VSK-94...Much better.……现在清静多了。

DimaThe innocent civilians of the city desperately need those medicines to ease the misery of the plague. This operation is a meaningful part of saving the city.现在每一名无辜的居民都迫切需要这些药品来度过疾病的折磨，作为拯救城市的重要一环，我们的行动是有意义的。

M870Pfffft, that's cute. If taking some meds could save the city, then all you'd have to do is bat your eyelashes at the criminals and they'd rediscover their consciences, then proceed to turn themselves in at the police station, right?噗噗，如果吃药就能拯救城市，那你只要一撒娇，那些罪犯肯定也会良心发现，然后回警察局投案自首了吧？

Dima...I...!……我……！

VSK-94To think even an NPC could be at a loss for words.居然连NPC都能噎住。

P7Still, she didn't reply at all. Was she programmed that way, or is her attitude really that good?但却完全不还口呢，该说是程序如此，还是心态就那么好呢？

ART556I told you already, the hints of this game are way more humanized than I expected, but it also likes to nag you when you're having fun.我早就说过，这个游戏提示比想象中的还要人性化，但就是喜欢在别人玩得高兴时跑出来啰嗦。

VSK-94Well, it's just trying to remind us to take this seriously and to work together when the time comes. I don't know if I told you, but when I was still a cop...毕竟这也是提醒我们要认真一些，必要的时候更得好好配合。 要知道在我当警察的时候……

P7Here comes another lecture!又开始说教了！

ART556Oh come on, 94, you're going to suck all the fun out of the game!要适可而止啊94后辈，这样会把游戏的乐趣给抹杀掉的！

VSK-94We wouldn't have to go through this if you'd given me more time to speak just now.如果刚才能给我多一点发言的时间就没那么多事了。

M870You'd have enough time to speak if you thought of a one-liner before I prompted you. Right, let's go see where we'll find our next source of fun.只要在我发言之前想好台词，你总会有时间的。 好了，让我看看接下来该去哪里玩。

VSK-94We should think about our resource issues first!先考虑一下物资补给不足的问题吧！

M870Heh, you just want to stuff yourself, huh? All we need to do is take out the guys who logged on along with us and we'll be able to loot them for something.嗨，不就是想吃吃喝喝嘛，只要干掉那些跟我们一起上线的家伙，总能抢到点什么的。

VSK-94...We're going to loot them?……抢？

P7You can think of it as commandeering resources - it'll be a perfectly consensual transaction~!也可以理解为征用，这是你情我愿的交流~！

ART556Even if they don't want to surrender their stuff at first, we'll make sure they want to by the end.就算不愿意，我们也会让他们愿意的。

VSK-94Does it even count as consensual at that point?这还叫你情我愿吗？

M870We'll make commandeering resources our top priority, then. Onward to the Grand Central Terminal!那就先以征用物资为最优先事项，我们去大中央总站吧！

ART556Ohhhh, looks like a place loaded with treasure!哦哦，看起来像是个藏了很多的宝贝的地方！

VSK-94If we're after supplies, can't we just go to the library?想要物资的话，图书馆这里不就行了吗？

ART556Does the library look like a den of criminals to you? Besides, even if there WAS someone there, the mood wouldn't be right.图书馆哪里像是犯罪场所，而且就算真的有谁在这里，气氛也不合适。

P7The pictures we took there wouldn't look good either!拍出来的照片也不会好看的！

VSK-94...So you're really not going to play the game seriously?……你们真打算好好进行游戏吗？

M870Pfffft, oh please, you can always find fugitive criminals in the Grand Central Terminal. Who knows, they might be sitting on a huge stash of supplies, which is why we have to carry out this op. Whether they're fleas or ticks, we'll fish them up and clean them out!噗噗，毫无疑问，大中央总站窝藏着在逃的通缉犯，说不定他们还抢占了大量物资，所以这次的行动势在必行。 不管是跳蚤还是臭虫，马上把他们揪出来，然后搜刮一空吧！

ART556For justice!为了正义！

P7For chocolate bars!为了巧克力棒！

VSK-94(Sighs) At least you're more reliable than that lot who'll launch into Cossack dances at the drop of a hat. I can live with this.唉…… 至少比那几个一言不合就来一段哥萨克舞的家伙靠谱一点点，还是忍忍吧。

M870I'll take that as a two thumbs up from you. It's unanimous! Let's move out!我就把你这话理解为双手赞成了。 全票通过，出发！

EveryoneWoohooooo!哦——！

Stage 2-2 0：07纽约公共图书馆 主线2章 · 2-2

M870Yo, all you crooks in your open-crotch pants, time to face the music and hand over all your stuff!哟——穿开裆裤的小毛贼们，最好识相一点，赶快把值钱的东西给我交出来！

ART556I can't believe they had high-end gear like this, but it's all ours now!这些家伙居然有这么高品质的装备，不过现在全是我们的啦！

P7What about the chocolate bars? The sodas? Do they not eat snacks or something?巧克力棒呢？汽水呢？ 这些家伙平时都不吃零食吗！？

M870Oi, what are you standing around for?喂，愣着干嘛？

VSK-94It's nothing, I'm just reflecting on how we're becoming more and more like robbers as we go on.没什么，只是感慨这一路上越来越有种打家劫舍的气氛了。

ART556Perish the thought, we're wiping out the city's criminals, aren't we?哪有，我们不是在消灭城市里的罪犯吗？

VSK-94But it feels wrong!但总觉得哪里不对劲！

M870You're just imagining things. When you've been a cop for a long time, you tend to be a workaholic - it's perfectly normal. Come, after we take out the nearby perps and stock up on supplies, we'll head over to the next district...这只是你的错觉，当警察久了总会有点职业病，很正常。 来，等解决掉这附近的罪犯，拿到了物资，我们就去下一个街区……

ART556Hey! Someone's attacking us from behind!咦！居然有人背后偷袭！

P7Are they coming from the library?是不是从图书馆那边过来的！

M870Oh, they've got balls alright. It's almost as though they're trying to bait us into the library for a fight.这么狂妄，就好像故意想让我们到图书馆里跟对面打架一样。

ART556What should we do, Boss?那我们该怎么做呢，大哥？

M870Well, I wasn't planning to go to the library, but since these assholes are throwing their weight around, we ought to make an example of them. Come on ladies, time to RUSH B!本来没打算到图书馆去，但既然有些家伙那么嚣张，那就先拿她们开刀好了。 小的们，跟我一起Rush B！

VSK-94Wait a minute, isn't just charging in there too rash? Shouldn't we make sure it's not a trap...eh?等等，直接冲过去也太莽撞了一点，至少先确定一下是不是陷阱……哎？

The squad completely ignores VSK-94's voice of reason and changes direction, charging toward the library with great gusto. VSK-94 is about to give chase, but then they suddenly double back.完全没有理会VSK-94的劝阻，小队一行在VSK-94的注视下调转方向，充满气势地冲向了图书馆。 而VSK-94刚要追上去，她们又从前面调转了回来。

VSK-94...Why are you turning back? Finally realized the importance of caution?……怎么又回来了，终于知道要慎重了吗？

M870The word caution doesn't exist in my vocabulary. It's just that there's one thing we haven't done yet.在我的词典里不存在慎重这种词，只有细节准备不充分而已。

VSK-94One thing?细节？

M870P7!P7！

P7Yes, Boss!了解！

Ka-click.咔擦。

ART556Yessssssssss! Hearing that music makes me feel like victory's at hand!好耶——！ 听见音乐就感觉离着胜利已经不远了！

P7Exactly!没错！

VSK-94...Who are the real crooks here, anyway?……到底哪边才是犯罪分子啊？

M870What, are you going to chicken out now?怎么，所以你想当个怂包吗？

VSK-94I just don't want to disgrace myself after leaving my job as a police officer. Still, this is just a game, so I'll take things as they come.我只是不想在我离开警察岗位之后再给自己抹上什么污点。 不过好在这只是游戏，走一步算一步吧。

M870That's right! She sure learns quick~ Now gather up, ladiess! Let's go!孺子可教~ 全员，出发！

—Outside New York Public Library.——纽约公共图书馆前。

M870Well, this is a buzzkill. It's like revving up for a good long peel down the highway and you break down before the light turns green. Speaking of which, with such sloppy gunplay, we could be standing in front of them and they would still shoot themselves in the ass. Aren't there any decent crooks left in Manhattan?真扫兴，就像正在公路上准备来一场飙车的时候，绿灯还没亮起来就自己先抛锚了一样。 话又说回来，这种破枪法就算跟这些废物面对面站着，他们也会把子弹准确地打在自己的屁股上，曼哈顿已经连个像样的罪犯都不存在了吗？

VSK-94What I want to know is why would they shoot at us from so far away?真正奇怪的是他们怎么会从那么远的地方主动朝我们开枪？

P7Looks like the Boss can't answer that.看来这不在大哥的解答范围之内呢。

ART556Boss, looks like there are still enemies inside the library. We need to figure out a way to open the main door, though.大哥，图书馆内部好像还有敌人的样子，不过我们得想办法打开大门。

P7Maybe there's a key nearby which can open the lock...也许附近有能打开锁的钥匙……

M870Key? No need for that crap.钥匙？那种东西完全没必要。

ART556 and P7 realize what's happening and make way. M870 walks up to the library door and shoots off the lock before kicking it open. Just as expected, there's a bandit holding a shotgun behind the door, but just as M870 is about to open fire, he is shot in the vitals from behind.ART-556和P7自觉地让开之后，M870来到图书馆门前，打爆门锁之后，M870一脚踹开了正门。 门的后面果然还藏着一个端着霰弹枪的匪徒，但正在M870要动手的瞬间，眼前这个家伙便被人从身后命中了要害。

The enemy collapses, revealing a girl with twintails, wearing a black cape with a red inner lining and holding an automatic rifle.敌人倒地，显露出了他身后那个穿着黑面红底斗篷，手持自动步枪的双马尾少女。

Type 97... Er, hi?…… 呃，嗨？

M870Police! Now reach for the sky unless you want a few more holes in you!警察！ 现在双手指着天，如果你不介意自己身上会多几个窟窿的话！

Type 97Huh? B-but I didn't do anything!咦——我、我什么也没做呀！？

She tries to bargain her way out of it, but seeing that M870 still has the barrel of her gun trained on her, she obediently complies.虽然做出了解释，但看到M870仍然把枪口对准自己，97式还是乖乖地举起了手。

VSK-94Are you another player? I didn't expect you to surrender right away.这次是别的玩家吗？没想到马上就投降了。

P7Hey, new girl, don't be fooled. Some people just love to play the innocent in front of you before ambushing you while your back is turned.后辈哟，可不要被迷惑了，要知道有些人最喜欢装无辜，然后在背后搞偷袭这一套了。

ART556I can relate!深感赞同！

VSK-94By "some people" you mean "yourselves", right?你们说的“有些人”是不是你们自己？

AA-1297, we're about to move out, what's the hold... Who are these people?97，马上就要出发了，你还在磨蹭什么…… 这些人是谁？

Type 9712! It-it's the police!12——！有、有警察！

AA-12The police? You mean that midget nun and that dog-eared brat over there?警察？你说那边的矮子修女跟狗耳朵小屁孩吗？

ART556These are FOX ears, hello!是狐耳啦！

AA-12Whatever. We're leaving.随便什么都好，总之我们得走了。

M870My oh my, we've got a mean-looking character here. Are those rings around your eyes from dodging arrest warrants day and night?哎呀呀，好像出现了一个看起来非常凶狠的家伙，是不是因为躲避通缉的原因才熬出那么黑的眼圈呢？

AA-12...Hah?……哈？

M870The hell do you mean "Hah?" You have three seconds to surrender and hand over your supplies!哈什么哈，给你们三秒的时间投降，然后把物资全部交出来！

Springfield97, what's going on here?97，这边发生什么事情了？

Type 97Miss Springfield! We-we're being robbed by the police!春田小姐！我、我们被警察打劫了！

Gr MP7Hey, since when were there cops in video games?喂喂，电子游戏里哪来的警察？

M870There are now.现在有了哦。

M870's posse of self-proclaimed constables on patrol raise their guns in unison and point them at Springfield.以巡警自居，此刻已经集结成四人队伍的M870一行，齐刷刷地朝春田她们举起了枪。

P7Point your gun at them too, junior!后辈，枪！

VSK-94Uh, I'm sorry, I'm not used to pointing my gun at people who aren't suspects or violent criminals.啊，抱歉，我还不习惯对没有犯罪嫌疑或暴力行为的目标举枪。

M870Don't worry, they will be soon enough.别急，很快就会有的。

AA-12You accuse people of being violent while resorting to violence yourselves. You make me sick. Still, things being what they are, there's no room to negotiate, right?一边指责别人暴力，一边自己使用暴力的家伙真让人反胃，不过事情既然做到这个地步，也就是没有商量的余地咯？

SpringfieldA moment, please. We should try to avoid fighting if we can help it. You want supplies, right? As it happens, we have a lot of them. If these are acceptable...等一下，如果可以，还是尽量避免争斗比较好。 你们是想要物资对吧，我们刚好有很多，如果这样可以的话……

With some quick tinkering, several columns of light appear in front of her.春田简单操作了一下，在她面前出现了一些光柱。

SpringfieldWe have winter clothing...这里有御寒的衣服……

ART556Humph, you think you can buy us off so easily?哼哼，以为这样就可以收买我们吗？

P7How naïve, we're friends of justice, you know!太天真了，我们可是正义的伙伴啊！

Springfield...And lots of chocolate and soda too.……巧克力棒和汽水也有很多哦。

ART556Well... I'm starting to think Miss Springfield must have her own reasons~啊这……我、我觉得春田小姐也是有苦衷的嘛~

P7Yup yup, how could such a kind-hearted big sis be a suspect, heeheehee~没错没错，这样温柔善良的大姐姐，怎么可能会有犯罪的嫌疑呢，嘻嘻嘻~！

VSK-94She bought you off in the end, didn't she?!结果不还是被收买了吗！？

M870Pfffft, your minds are slower than the old wind generators in the Yellow Zones, aren't they? If she's got all those supplies, it means she must be loaded. In that case, why settle for the scraps she gives you when you can just take it all?噗噗，你们两个脑子的转速还不如黄区那些老旧的风力发电机吗？ 她们既然有那么多的物资，说明是块大肥肉，比起接受施舍，为什么不全部拿过来呢？

VSK-94Look, even if you say that...就算你这么说也……

ART556A cop's gotta do what a cop's gotta do!警察就要有警察的觉悟！

P7Correct! Time for a seizure of assets!没错，财产充公，充公！

VSK-94...You sure play fast and loose with things.……你们可真够随便的。

M870I control my minions better than you think. Loyalty is a thing that you can regain with just a little generosity. Simple, don't you think?我对这些手下的把握远比你想象中的要牢固，所谓的忠诚，只需要一点点筹码就可以重新得到，很简单不是吗？

VSK-94Can't say I agree.无法苟同。

M870Pffft, you'll just have to get used to it, then! Now, let's count up their sins! I can't believe they actually loaded this poor librarian into a sack and beat him up in order to rob the place!噗噗，习惯就好了！ 现在让我们细数这些犯人的罪名！ 为了入室盗窃，居然给这位图书管理员套上麻袋进行殴打！

Type 97Librarian?管理员？

ART556I'm talking about this poor, pitiful man lying on the ground!就是在地上躺着的，这位可怜的男性啊！

SpringfieldOh my, you're starting to sound a bit unreasonable.哎呀呀，听起来真的很过分。

Gr MP7No matter how you slice it, that guy was an enemy that either you or Type 97 bumped off, right?这怎么看都是刚才被97式或者你们干掉的敌人吧？

P7From now on, he's a librarian~!从现在起他是图书管理员了~！

AA-12Tsk, so it's a setup, then?嘁，打算栽赃么？

M870It's called "upholding justice", and it's part of the game of cat and mouse. Even if you say you weren't present at the scene of the crime, I'll drag the police line to wherever you're standing.这叫做主持正义，是猫鼠游戏的一部分，就算你们不想站在犯罪现场，我也会把警戒线拉到任何你们脚下站着的范围。

AA-12I've had it with this.我已经失去耐心了。

SpringfieldAA-12, you should avoid conflicts that can be avoided. At the very least, we need to make our position clear to the other party.AA-12，能避免纷争还是要尽量避免，至少要给对方表明我们的态度。

VSK-94... M870, I don't think a simple breaking and entering warrants a firefight, right?…… M870，我觉得仅仅是入室盗窃还不至于发展到交火的程度吧？

M870You think so? Then we'll add "assaulting an officer" to it, then.是吗，那就再加一条袭警罪好了。

VSK-94Since you're playing the role of a police officer, there's no need to attack non-hostile people, don't you think?既然是扮演警察，就没必要和毫无敌意的对象战斗不是吗？

M870By the time you realize they're hostile, you'll be the one on the ground.等发现对方有敌意的时候，先倒下的肯定是你。

VSK-94I have my standards in passing judgment!我有我的判断标准！

M870Oh, don't get all preachy with me at a time like this. Look at you, you're like a freshly-hatched chick with no idea what's going on, even if you ARE holding a gun. Your mistake is thinking that the world is a wonderful and perfect place. I can fix that for you later on, but for now, get your ass out of the way of my gun barrel!别在这种时候打搅一场好戏的上演，看看你自己，现在端着枪手足无措的样子就像把蛋壳当纸尿裤的小鸡仔。 把一切都想象得很美好就是一种错误的思维逻辑，有机会我可以帮你修复，但现在，不要用你的身体挡住我的枪口！

VSK-94Cyk—苏——

Bang!砰——！

As the standoff continues, a flashbang suddenly detonates between the two squads. For players, being flashbanged means their vision will be scrambled for a short while. It's not fatal, but when the tension in the air is so thick you could cut it with a knife—正在陷入僵局的时候，两支小队中间突然被引爆了一枚干扰弹。 作为玩家，在游戏中被干扰弹命中的话会产生短时间的视觉混乱，虽然不能造成什么致命的伤害，但却足以引爆现在剑拔弩张的气氛——

SpringfieldWhoa, wait! Cease fire!啊，等等，快停火！

P7Uwah!哇哇哇！

P7Who's shooting?! Who's shooting?!谁在开枪！？谁在开枪！？

AA-12No can do, they were aiming to use force in the first place!不行，这些家伙根本就没打算考虑暴力之外的手段！

Type 97You bad cops threw the flashbang, right?!干扰弹就是你们这些坏蛋丢的吧！？

Gr MP7Urgh, shouldn't we fall back now? Even if we don't, why don't we get to cover first?唔呃，现在是不是撤退比较好？ 就算不走，起码也找个地方躲一躲吧？

SpringfieldI guess things are out of control... In any case, let's get out of here. Come, 97. Quickly now.看来没办法收场了…… 总之先离开这里，97，快过来。

Type 97Ah, okay!啊，好的！

ART556Ahhh! The criminals are getting away! How could you let such big fish escape, P7?!啊，罪犯要逃走了！ 怎么可能让到嘴肥肉跑掉，P7！

P7For chocolate bars—!为了巧克力棒——！

VSK-94Wait! Don't just run off on your own! M870, we need to go after them.等等，不要分开行动！ M870，快点追上她们。

M870You have the right to remain silent!你们有权保持沉默！

VSK-94Your vision's pretty much recovered, right? Stop shooting into the air!视觉也差不多该恢复了吧？别再对着空气开枪了！

M870Ah? So you were here. What did I tell you? By the time they show hostility, it's too late.啊？原来你在这里。 我说什么来着，等她们展现出敌意的时候一切就都晚了。

VSK-94I don't care about Springfield and that lot, but ART556 and P7 were carrying almost all of our ammo and gear. Don't you think we should get them back?春田那边怎么样我不管，但我们捡到的弹药和装备可基本上都在ART-556和P7的包里，不赶紧把她们两个找回来吗？

M870They'll be fine. If you ask me, they'll catch up with us in three minutes' time. Alright, let's move on!这么一会儿功夫她们不会出事的，要我说，她们肯定能在三分钟之内跟上我们。 好了，继续前进！

... The blizzard continues ravaging the city, and the poor weather cuts visibility down to a little over five meters. If anyone were walking casually down the street, they would surely be startled by the two little heads suddenly poking out of nowhere.…… 暴风雪持续肆虐这城市，恶劣的天气让人很难看清五米距离外的东西，如果此时有人满不在乎地走在街道上，就一定会被突然冒出的两个小脑袋吓一跳。

P7This is Deputy No. 7, situation normal, over!这里是7号助理警长，一切正常，完毕！

ART556And this is Deputy No. 556, situation normal too, over!这里是556号助理警长，也是一切正常，完毕！

After hearing the reply, P7 looks back and reaches out, pinching the ear of the person who was using a radio to contact her while standing right beside her.听到答复之后，P7回过头来，伸手扯了扯身边跟自己无线电通话的家伙的耳朵。

ART556What the heck was that for?!干什么呀！

P7Do we really need to do this? I mean, we're standing side by side, is there even a point in using the radio?我们真的有必要做这种事吗？ 我是说，我们现在根本是肩并肩，需要用无线电吗？

ART556You need to show spirit when facing a challenge!在面对挑战的时候，最不能输的就是气势！

P7Well, you call it "spirit", but nobody can see us from more than five meters away, right?就算把这种事比作“气势”，但好像超过五米以外就没人能看到了哟？

ART556...Yeah.……唔。

P7We lost track of Miss Springfield and the others 10 minutes ago. Plus, the Boss hasn't contacted us on the radio yet. I wonder what they're up to?我们早在十分钟之前就跟丢了春田小姐她们了。 而大哥好像也一直没有跟我们真正进行过无线电沟通，不知道她们现在在做什么。

ART556M-maybe she brought the rookie to another place. If we can get back to that library, we should be able to see where they went.也、也许已经带着新人到下一个地方去了。 如果我们能走回到那座图书馆，就一定能找到她们的去向。

P7But we're getting further and further away according to the map...可是从地图上看，我们现在越走越远了哦？

ART556We would've got there by now if we hadn't run into enemies three times in a row.要不是刚才那样连续三次撞见荷枪实弹的敌人，我们早就到了。

P7Too bad the map doesn't show enemy positions... Ah, we're at a junction again. We chose to go right at the last fork in the road and ended up going in a big circle. What about now?可惜地图上不会标记敌人在哪里…… 啊，我们又到岔路了，上一条岔路我们选择往右走，结果绕了好大一个圈子，这次怎么办？

ART556We go left, of course.当然是往左走啦。

P7...If only I could bring Chopsticks here. He'd help us find a better route.……如果能把筷子带来的话就一定能帮我们找到一条更好的路线。

ART556But it's not that bad, right? At least, we haven't run into any more enemies so far.现在不也很好嘛，至少到目前为止我们没有再碰到什么敌人了。

P7But we've wasted a lot of time outside. That is to say, we might have missed out on a lot of fun stuff while we were lost!但也在外面浪费很长时间了，也就是说，在我们迷路的这段时间里，搞不好已经错过了很多好玩的事情！

ART556... You know, even without the Boss around, you can still turn your music on whenever you want, and we can do as much "work" as we can manage.…… 你知道吗，就算大哥不在，你也可以随时打开音乐，然后做一点我们力所能及的“工作”。

P7What do you mean?你的意思是？

ART556 points in the direction where they're headed. They can vaguely make out someone forging ahead through the storm.ART-556向她们打算转向的地方指了指，那边隐约能分辨出，似乎有一个身影正在风雪中行进。

P7Oho, is that a straggler I see?哦哦，莫非是落单的家伙？

ART556I'm not too sure if it's an enemy or not, but we should be able to deal with them easily if there's only one of them, right?虽然不清楚是不是敌人，但数量只有一个的话，我们也可以轻松解决不是吗？

P7Alright, let's hurry and make our move! I'm sure they've got something delicious on them!好，赶紧行动吧，对面身上肯定有好吃的！

ART556There's no doubt about it, then...那就是毫无疑问的……

P7Time to play cat and mouse, heeheehee!猫鼠游戏的一部分了，嘻嘻嘻！

Ka-click.咔擦。

The two "police" Dolls exchange a glance and grin at each other before pulling out their trusty grenades and bombs. Backed by their theme song, they bear down on their target...两个仍然以“警察”自居的人形相视一笑，从身上掏出了惯用的炸弹和手雷，在她们专属的音乐加持下冲向了她们的目标……

ART556's VoicePo—警——

P7's VoicePo—警——

DimaA Cleaner! Agents, that's an Incinerator, a very powerful member of the Cleaners! Exercise extreme caution!净化者！ 特工，这是净化者阵营当中战斗力极强的焚烧者，千万要小心！

ART556 & P7Aaaaahhhhhhh! It's an Incinerator!焚烧者啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊——！

Stage 2-4 0：07纽约公共图书馆 主线2章 · 2-4

The previously raging blizzard soon settles down and the night dyes the city in a dark navy blue. There is a brief scream, and a swathe of brilliant orange blazes up at the origin of the sound. Flames spew forth with a "fwoom", melting every snowflake they touch. A pair of black-faced, petite figures rush out of the smoke left in its wake. They're trying to flee this danger zone as quickly as possible, but...原本被暴风雪席卷的夜晚给城市染上了浓重的深蓝色，在这一阵尖叫传来之后，那里被点亮了一片热烈的橙红色。 伴随着“哧——哧——”地声音，喷射而出的火焰融化了接近它的每一片雪花。 火苗消失后留下的浓烟中，冲出了两个脸上已经被熏黑的小不点，打算以最快的速度逃离这个危险之地，然而……

ART556Ehhh?! Why is there a dead end here?!诶！？这里怎么会是死路！？

P7Because we ran the wrong way just now! Eeeeeep! That big guy's coming this way!因为刚才跑错方向了呀！ 噫！那个大块头过来了！

ART556Oh no, we're doomed!啊，完蛋！

Fwoooom! The flames billowing forth from the Cleaner fill every corner of the cramped blind alley. However, when the flames finally recede, there's a conspicuous lack of scorched targets.哧——！ 净化者再次喷出的火焰席卷了这条狭窄的死路。 然而火焰消失之后，他所瞄准的目标却并没有被烧焦在这里……

P7Wow, that was close! It wasn't real fire, but seeing it spray toward us was really scary!！哇，好险！ 虽然不是真的火焰，但是一下子喷过来果然好吓人！

ART556For a moment I thought I could feel my neural cloud overloading.有一瞬间我都以为能体验到心智过载的感觉了呢。

P7Good thing you can climb into these small buildings through the windows, so we didn't have to experience that for real. However...还好这些小楼能从窗户那里爬进来，总算是没有真的体验到，不过……

P7 places her index finger over her lips to indicate that they should be quiet. After that, they can hear their massive opponent walking outside with slow and purposeful steps, as well as the sounds of rustling fabric as he vaults through a window.P7伸出食指示意安静，随后她们从窗外听到了那个大块头沉重的脚步声正在步步逼进，并因为翻越窗户而发出了摩擦声响。

ART556So that window...was just big enough for him to enter too?那扇窗的尺寸刚好也能让他爬进来……吗？

P7It doesn't matter! We can escape as long as we can open the main door!没关系，只要打开这边的正门就能逃出去！

P7...Huh? Hey! T-the door's locked!……咦？ 这、这边的门是锁着的！

ART556Locked?! Uh, let's head upstairs first, there might be enough space to avoid him on the second floor!锁着！？ 那，先上楼吧，说不定二层有足够的空间可以躲开他！

P7Ah, wait for me...啊，等等我……

ART556...Hm?……咦？

P7Why did you stop all of a sudden?怎么又停下来了？

ART556The door leading upstairs...is also locked.上面的门……也锁着。

P7Ehhhhhhhh?!诶！？

ART556We're totally screwed now.这下真的彻底走进死胡同了。

P7Is this the end?我们要完蛋了吗？

ART556...Well, it's not like we don't have a way out of this.……其实也不是没有办法。

P7Do you have a plan?!还有办法吗！？

ART556You stay here and draw his fire. How about that?你留在这里殿后，吸引他的火力怎么样？

P7Ehhhhh?! In a place like this?!诶！？在这种地方！？

ART556Relax, it won't take long. I'll go find the Boss and come back right away to save you.放心，不会太久的，等我找到了大哥就马上回来救你。

P7Really?真的吗？

ART556I never lie, you know!我可从来不是一个撒谎的人形哦！

P7...Alright, then. I believe you, so come back quick.……好吧，我相信你，那你可要快点回来。

ART556Hehehe, just wait there for my good news—嘿嘿嘿，等我的好消息吧——

ART556Ehhhhhhh?! A f-f-flashbang?!咦咦咦咦咦！？干干干干……干扰弹！？

P7Hee hee hee~ Kids might fall for that, but you think it'd work on me? Dorks like you are the best sort of bait. So long—嘻！嘻！嘻！ 你以为我会相信你这种骗小孩的话吗？要当诱饵的必须是你这个报上名字都会咬舌头的家伙了，再见——

P7Uwaaahhh!哇啊啊啊！

Bang! Just as P7 is about to leave, another flashbang goes off under her feet. She stumbles backward and collapses onto ART556.砰！ 刚要离开的P7脚下突然起爆了一枚电子手雷，随后一个踉跄，便跟ART-556倒在了一起。

The footsteps from downstairs draw closer and closer. They can hear hard leather soles trudging on the wooden floorboards in a slow and even rhythm. At the same time, the two Dolls have finally come to their senses and gotten back to their feet, pulling out all their various hidden explosives.楼下的脚步声越来越近，硬革皮鞋踩在居家的木质地板上，发出了低沉而缓慢的“咚咚”声。 同时，终于缓过劲的两个人形迅速爬起来面对面站定，并掏出了她们自己私藏的各种爆炸物。

ART556Hehe, so you came prepared.哼哼，原来你也早有准备。

P7I could say the same about you as well.彼此彼此。

ART556Well, no matter how this turns out, it was nice knowing you.不过不管怎么说，能认识你很高兴。

P7That said, it's time to settle this, right here and now!但也该结束了，就在此时此地！

ART556COME ON!来吧！

P7BRING IT ON!来呀！

The pair throw all their explosives at the opposition, and just before the glare of the explosions scrambles their vision, the two of them see the same thing— The Cleaner, who was charging out to attack them, magnificently catches the explosives with their body.双方将手中的爆炸物全部朝对方丢了出去，在随着爆炸产生的强光干扰到她们的视线之前，两个人形捕捉到了相同的画面—— 突然冲出来准备对她们展开攻击的净化者，完美地用身体接住了所有的爆炸物。

BOOOOM!!!轰——！！！

After the thunderous explosions, their huge attacker, who was still radiating menace just a moment ago, rolls back down the stairs.巨响之后，这个上一秒还是浑身散发着威胁的大块头已经从楼梯上滚了下去。

ART556... It...…… 计……

P7It...?计……？

ART556It worked!计划成功！

P7Ah... Ahhhhhh! That's right, that was our plan, wasn't it?啊，啊——！ 没错，这就是我们的计划不是吗？

ART556Of course, of course! It was so perfect that even that big lug couldn't see through it!当然当然！ 一切都天衣无缝，就连这个大块头都没有看出来！

P7Yeah! Ahahahaha!是啊哈哈哈！

ART556Ahahahahaha—! ...Okay, let's go re-arm ourselves.啊哈哈哈哈哈哈——！ …… 再去找点东西防身吧。

P7Yep...嗯……

P7 and ART556 are united again by their bizarre battle, but they are in no mood to resume their game of cops and robbers after that emotional roller coaster. What had once been a wild ride of seizing loot has now ended due to them losing their way.一次奇怪的战斗让ART-556和P7重新团结起来，但大起大落让她们没了继续玩警察游戏的心情。 原本以争夺资源开始的乱斗，因各自失去了方向而结束了。

—Not too long ago, on the roof of the New York Public Library. Three Dolls that have been hiding in the shadows have just finished enjoying the farce that unfolded inside the library.——不久之前，纽约公共图书馆顶楼。 三个一直躲藏在暗处的人形刚刚欣赏完图书馆内发生的闹剧。

UMP9Ahahahaha! A hot-blooded "NY cop" on one end and a gentle "pacifist" on the other. The two of them clashing was more entertaining than I expected.啊哈哈哈哈哈！一边是热情的“纽约警察”，一边是温和的“和平主义者”。 这两拨闹在一起的效果真比想象中的还要好嘛。

UMP45It was only average by the standards of free theater, though.以免费喜剧的水平来说，这样的算是马马虎虎。

UMP9Still scowling, 416?还在绷着个脸哪，416？

416We have done NOTHING but hunker down here watching other people fight ever since the battle began. Is this your "sure-win" plan in action?从开始行动到现在，除了趴在这里偷看别人交手之外，我们根本没做任何事。 这就是你说的“稳赢”的计划？

UMP9Aw come on, you threw that flashbang just now, didn't you?少来了，那枚干扰弹不是你亲自扔出去的吗？

416That doesn't mean I'm okay with dawdling up here with you.但这不代表我就愿意跟着你们在这里磨磨蹭蹭的。

UMP9I didn't expect this of you, 416. So you had your sights on the money all along?没想到你是这样的416，原来早就想得到这笔钱了？

416I didn't even want to take part in the first place, but since I'm here, I might as well put in some effort.本来我就没打算参加这比赛，但现在既然来了，就该有点比赛的样子。

UMP45But of course. However, I think we ought to recover some useful items from our opposition before we enter the Dark Zone.这是当然的，不过在进入暗区之前，我们总得从这些对手身上捞点有用的东西才行。

416We could have obtained all their supplies if we had attacked just now!刚才要是发动攻击，底下这些人的物资早就是我们的了！

UMP45Attack them? It's more fun to watch them run around like headless chickens for the sake of a little resource grab. Once they've worn themselves out, we can reap the harvest. Their supplies will be as good as ours.发动攻击？与其这样做，倒不如看她们为了一点点物资抢得焦头烂额来的有趣。 等到她们筋疲力尽了再去收割，那些物资自然就是我们的囊中之物。

SystemAn Agent has entered the Dark Zone.一名特工已进入暗区。

416Oi, you saw the notification, right?喂，你看到提示了吗？

UMP45Ja.嗯。

416Tsk, this is a waste of time.啧，根本就是在浪费时间。

UMP9Hey, 416, where are you going?哎，416你要去哪儿？

416Looking for supplies. You can take your time watching other people. Once I take first place, I'll come back and see if you're still around.去搜集资源。 你们就慢慢看戏好了，等我把冠军拿到手，再回来看看你们有没有散场。

UMP9Oh... She's gone. She seems really intent on taking the prize by herself. Are we really going to just keep observing, 45?啊……走掉了。 看她的劲头好像真的打算一个人夺冠军呢，45姐，我们还要继续围观吗？

UMP45416 is serious about everything she does. All she wants to do is end the game quickly. Still, we've already lost Gr G11, so we can't afford to be stretched any thinner. In that case, let's follow her. Who knows, we might run into something interesting along the way.416做什么事都会认真起来，所以她只是想快点让游戏结束罢了。 也对，G11已经没了，我们不能继续分散战斗力，所以还是跟上去吧。 而且，说不定这一路上还会碰到别的趣事呢？

Long after the farce in the NYPL has ended, and after UMP45 and UMP9 have followed 416 off the roof, the two lost midgets run up to the building—图书馆内的闹剧已经结束许久，在UMP45和UMP9追着HK416离开图书馆楼顶后，先前走失的两个小不点也从下面匆匆跑过——

P7Ah! We're at the library, 556!啊，556，我们到图书馆了！

ART556I'm sure they're not here anymore. Didn't you see the notification just now? I'm guessing it was the Boss and 94.她们肯定已经不在这里啦，没看到刚才的消息吗，我猜那肯定是大哥和94的。

P7So they've entered the...what do you call it, the Dark Zone?她们已经进那个叫……暗区的地方了吗？

ART556It's pretty likely. You can tell from the map that we're very close to the Dark Zone. If we head over there now, we might still be able to catch up with them.十有八九是这样，从地图上看我们距离暗区已经很近了，现在往那边走说不定还能追上她们呢。

P7Wait a minute, we haven't explored the area ahead yet, and if we run into enemies again...等等，前面的路我们还没走过，万一再有什么敌人……

ART556As if we'd run into enemies on every single route. You're being paranoid.怎么可能每一条路都是敌人，你想太多了。

P7B-but I just saw a sign on the road saying something about a Last Man Battalion camp up ahead... Hey, wait up!可、可是刚才我看到路上有一段文字说，这里是什么幸存者的营地…… 喂，你先停下来嘛！

ART556We've got no time to waste...赶时间啦赶时间……

ART556Eeeeek—?!噫——！？

ART556 has completely dismissed P7's concerns, but then a bullet whistles through the air past her ear. She stops abruptly in her tracks and rolls behind a raised flowerbed. When P7 catches up, the two of them see a horde of heavily-armed enemies swarming towards them.完全不理会P7担忧的ART-556，耳畔响起了子弹穿破空气的啪啪声。 急忙刹车的她顺势翻进了路边的花坛后面，等P7跟上来之后，两人才看到街道前方出现了大量全副武装的敌人，现在正朝这边汹涌而来。

P7This...this is an enemy stronghold!这、这里根本是敌人的巢穴嘛！

ART556So what, we can always double back— Aaaaahhhhhh!这有什么，我们可以往回走……呀！

ART556Why are there enemies behind us too...? No, wait, have we been surrounded?!为什么后面也有……不对，我们被包围了！？

P7I TOLD you we should have stopped!我早就说过要你停下来的！

ART556Well, there's no point saying that now. Anyway, it doesn't look like we'll be able to handle the enemies with just the two of us.现在说这些也没用了，看对面的阵仗，光咱们两个肯定挡不住。

P7Jeez. It's just a game, but I'm getting a really strong sense of déjà vu from this.真是的，明明是玩游戏，我现在却有一种强烈的既视感。

ART556I know right, the feeling that you're going to have to re-download yourself from a neural cloud backup?我懂的我懂的，是那种马上又要重新下载心智的感觉对吧？

P7While I know that isn't possible here... It really feels like it's going to happen! I hate it!虽然这里并不会发生这种事……但感觉真的要挡不住了，好不甘心啊！

ART556But that's not a problem, right? We can always play another round.这也没关系吧，我们可以再来一局啊。

P7Of course it's a problem. Whether or not we can get back to such a good position again is one thing, but it would be a shame to go when we've got so many unused items in our backpacks!才不咧，且不说还能不能赶上那么好的机会，现在我包包里还有那么多东西没用掉，就这样退出也太可惜了！

ART556And here I was thinking you were attached to our fire-forged friendship.我还以为你舍不得我们好不容易建立的战友情呢。

P7We have one?我们有吗？

ART556We should, right? I mean, we've come this far together!都走到这一步了，也该有一点了吧！

P7Well, if we do, I was hoping you'd use it to take a bullet or three for me.如果有一点的话，我更希望你能把它用在替我挡子弹上面。

ART556What a coincidence, I was thinking the exact same thing.好巧，我也是这么打算的。

P7You know, if it wasn't because we had a mutual enemy to deal with, I'd like to see which of us was better.要不是还有共同的敌人要对付，我还真想试试咱们两个到底谁更厉害。

ART556You took the words right out of my mouth!彼此彼此！

The pair's argument is soon drowned out by the sound of gunfire. The onslaught of the LMB forces is ceaseless, and even the greatest efforts of P7 and ART556 combined cannot stem the tide.两人的争吵很快又被枪声淹没了。 幸存者军队的进攻始终没有停止，即便ART-556和P7倾尽全力，也没办法将这些源源不断的敌人悉数消灭。

Suddenly, ART556 and P7 hear gunshots coming from outside the combat zone. The LMB forces collapse one after the other, just as P7 and ART556 had hoped. Before long, the enemies closing in on them have been utterly eliminated.忽然间，ART-556和P7同时听到场外传来的枪响。 正如她们所期待的那样，渐渐包围过来的幸存者军队在枪声响过之后纷纷倒地，不多时，原本还处在包围态势的敌人就被彻底消灭干净了。

ART556P-P7?P、P7？

P7Yeah, I see it.嗯，看到了。

ART556It must be the Boss! She came back to save us!一定是大哥！她来救我们了！

P7Look, over there!快看那边！

They look in the direction P7 is pointing at, and they can see a figure slowly advancing towards them, cloaked by the wind and snow. ART556 and P7 happily jump out of their cover and run towards the figure, but as they draw closer, the silhouette resolving into clarity does not match that of M870's. They slowly grind to a halt and watch as the figure walks up to them.顺着P7所指的方向，那边隔着风雪隐约能看到一个身影正在缓缓靠近。 ART-556和P7开心地从掩体中跳出来直奔那道身影而去，但跑近之后，渐渐清晰的轮廓却并没有显现出M870该有的样子。 她们渐渐停下脚步，并看到那身影走到近前。

???Are you alright?你们没事吧？

P7Vivi? It's Vivi! 556, Vivi saved us!Vivi？是Vivi！556，Vivi来救我们了！

ART556Is-is that really you, Vivi?! Thank goodness! We didn't know you were playing too! Speaking of which, what's with that outfit of yours...?真、真的是Vivi吗！？太好了！原来你也在玩这个游戏！ 话说你这副打扮是……？

DimaLooks like you're alright, Agents.特工，看来你们都没事。

P7Dima! Where the hell were you?! We got into so much crap because you didn't warn us!蒂玛！你跑到哪里去了！我们刚才遇到那么多危险，都是因为你不提醒的错！

DimaI've brought a new agent, haven't I? That should help a little, right?那现在有我这位新的特工在，总算是帮上一点忙了吧？

ART556What do you mean "a little"? If Vivi teams up with us, winning will be a cinch!什么叫一点点，要是Vivi跟我们组队那就赢定了好吗！

DimaIs she really that amazing? Looks like I backed the right horse, then.原来她这么厉害的啊？ 那这么看是真的押对宝了。

P7This NPC keeps saying weird things, doesn't she? Right, Vivi, let's team up. You can't just leave us to face the enemy alone on such a cold night, can you?这个NPC说话总是莫名其妙的。 对了Vivi，干脆咱们一起组队吧，你忍心看我们两个在这么寒冷的夜晚顶风冒雪面对敌人吗？

DimaDon't you two already have a team?你们不是有队伍吗？

ART556Silence, NPC!这里没有NPC插嘴的余地！

Vector?Sorry, but I prefer to work alone.抱歉，我更喜欢一个人行动。

ART556(Sighs) Well, that's a shame. If you were willing to join us, I'm sure we could give those "criminals" a good smackdown.诶……那太可惜了，如果你能作为同伴加入我们的话，肯定能把那些“犯罪分子”痛扁一顿。

???...Obey...……服从……

P7Huh, did you guys hear that?咦，你们有没有听到什么声音？

ART556Sounded like...a radio transmission. Did you say something just now, Dima?好像有……是无线电吧。 蒂玛，你刚才说什么？

DimaNo...我没有啊……

Vector?Hang on, take cover!等等，快躲起来！

ART556Eeehhhhhh?! W-what now?诶！？怎、怎么啦？

P7Whoa, why are the three of us squeezing behind the same piece of cover?!呜哇，干嘛三个人一起挤掩体啊！

???...Must...obey. If you refuse...……必须……服从。 拒绝的话……

Dima...! This is bad, it's... You guys...hurry up and...!……！ 是那个家伙，糟了，你们……快点……！

ART556It's who? Hey, did the signal cut out? Seriously, at a time like this...mmmmppph!哪个家伙，喂喂，信号中断了吗！？ 真是的，偏偏这个时候……啊唔！

Just as ART556 is about to launch into a round of complaints, Vector claps a hand over her mouth. Outside the cover, another figure steps off the road and approaches them.正要抱怨的ART-556被Vector捂住了嘴巴，而掩体外，一个身影正从路上走过。

P7Who-who's that?那、那是谁？

Vector?The enemy.敌人。

P7Th-the enemy?敌、敌人？

As the obscured trio watch on, the "enemy" comes to a halt, and after a brief pause, she suddenly turns to look in their direction.在掩体中的三人注视下，路上这个“敌人”停止了脚步，顿了顿后，她的视线突然转向了这边。

ART-556&P7—!!!——！！！

Vector?Ssshhh!嘘！

Vector gestures for her two companions to keep quiet, then glances over again. The opposition's gaze has already shifted elsewhere.示意两人安静之后，Vector又悄悄看了一眼，对方的注意力已经挪到了别的地方。

ART556(Pants) That scared the crap out of me!噗哈——吓、吓死我了！

P7Vivi, she's a Doll, right? She looks weird, though.Vivi，那个家伙是人形对吧？ 可是她看起来好奇怪啊。

Vector?Not weird. Dangerous.不是奇怪，是危险。

ART556Dangerous, you say? She's alone. If the three of us charge at her together, we might be able to...危险……吗？ 她只有一个人而已，如果我们三个一起上的话，说不定……

Vector shakes her head and interrupts ART556. More footsteps can be heard from behind the cover — nearly ten men dressed like agents step into view from behind the enemy. They are all heavily armed and armored, and the watches on their wrists glow with a blood-red light.Vector她摇摇头，打断了ART-556的提议。 接着，掩体外传来了更多的脚步声——有将近十名特工打扮的人员跟着出现在了那个“敌人”的身后。 除了全副武装以外，他们手上佩戴的腕表都闪烁着血红色的光芒。

P7Th-there are so many of them?!原、原来有这么多人吗！？

ART556G-good thing Vivi stopped us. Otherwise...还、还好让Vivi拦着了，不然的话……

ART556 doesn't dare imagine themselves being surrounded again. It seems the enemies beyond have not yet discovered their presence. After a short while, they depart as a group. As the sound of footsteps fades into the distance, ART556 and P7 finally breathe a sigh of relief.ART-556不敢想象再次陷入被包围的境地。 掩体外的敌人似乎没有发现她们的存在，驻足不多时便一起离开了。 脚步声远去之后，ART-556和P7终于松了一口气。

???Must...obey...必须……服从……

ART556Whoa!哇——！

P7Eeeeep!噫——！

Vector?...!……！

Having completely let down their guard, ART556 and P7 almost jump out of their skins when the voice speaks again from behind them. By the time they turn around to look, the enemies have already had the three of them completely surrounded.完全放松的ART-556和P7被身后再次响起的话语吓了一跳。 转身看去，刚才那些敌人不知什么时候已经将三人彻底包围了起来。

???Join us, and build a new order. Or else...加入我们，然后建立新的秩序。 否则……

???...You will die.……就去死吧。

PP-90V-Vivi?!V、vivi！？

VectorWhat's wrong?怎么了？

PP-90A battle seems to have taken place here. Some things were dropped on the ground.这里好像发生过战斗，而且地上掉了些东西。

VectorI guess they must be left behind by eliminated players... Looks like two players died here.应该是被淘汰的人留下来的……看来是死掉了两个玩家。

PP-90D-don't tell me they were ambushed? W-what if they've got their eyes on us too...? Vivi, maybe we should meet up with R93 and K5, don't you think?该、该不会是被突然袭击了吧，要是我们也被盯上了的话…… Vivi，咱们还是不要跟R93和K5她们分开行动了吧？

VectorYou can go look for them on your own...你可以自己去找她们……

PP-90Then forget it, I feel safer with you than I do with them, Vivi!那还是算了，跟她们比起来，还是在Vivi身边最有安全感了！

Vector(Sighs) Why must you stick to me like glue, anyway... Speaking of which, why do you think the winner of this fight didn't take anything from them, considering supplies are so hard to find now?唉，所以为什么非要黏着我…… 话说回来，现在物资那么难找，打赢的人为什么没把东西都带走呢？

PP-90That's because everything here is ammo and weapons, I think. I get the feeling food and water are what people really need right now.因为这里全——都是弹药和装备的缘故吧。 感觉现在大家都非常需要食物和水呢。

Vector...We need ammo too. Take it all, we'll go search somewhere else.……弹药也是我们必须的东西，都带上吧，我们再去别的地方找找看。

PP-90Hm, ISAC just said that I'm starving. I don't really feel it, but does that mean I'm going to die if this keeps up?唔，ISAC从刚才就说我正在挨饿，虽然并没有什么感觉，但这样下去我会不会死掉啊？

VectorI think you still have a can of rations left. Might as well have it since you're hungry.我记得你还有一个罐头，既然饿就吃了它吧。

PP-90Um... No! I won't touch it unless I absolutely have to!唔……不行！ 不到最后关头我是不会碰它的！

VectorI'm actually quite impressed by your self-control.我倒是很欣赏你能自己克服困难这个优点。

PP-90Ehehehe~ Vivi praised me~!嘿嘿嘿，被夸奖了~！

Vector...Our body temperatures are falling. Let's get a move on, we need to find more supplies ASAP.……我们的体温也正在降低，快点走吧，我们得快点找到物资才行。

PP-90Uh, wait for me!哎，等等我——！

Upon further examination of the area, they conclude that there are no more present threats. All players have most likely moved on already after scouring the place clean of supplies. PP-90 collects the ammunition before following Vector to their next destination — Grand Central Station.再次观察周围的情况，已经可以确定附近没有了任何威胁，大概所有玩家在把这片区域的物资搜集干净后，都启程前往了下一个区域。 PP90拾取了弹药盒装备之后，也跟着Vector朝下一个目的地——大中央总站进发了。

KalinaNow who could have seen that coming? In a stunning reversal, Squad M870 went through an unexpected twist! During the face-off with Springfield, a mysterious third party threw the scene into chaos, but they ended up getting nothing out of the confusion.真没想到！ M870小队这边居然出现了意料之外的变化！ 在和春田的对峙中我们都注意到外围还有一支小队在搅局，不过在陷入混乱的时候她们也没有占到什么便宜。

Doll ASquad Springfield had a real close call just now.春田小队刚才真的好危险啊。

Doll BBut the adventures of ART556 and P7 after that were pretty fun. They managed to take out an enemy even when fighting with each other!但是后面ART-556和P7的遭遇就很好玩了，为什么内斗的情况下还能干掉一个敌人啊哈哈哈！

Doll ADidn't SKS die the same way before?之前西蒙诺夫不也是这样挂掉的吗？

SKSWhat, talking about me?什么，你们在说我什么？

Doll BWow, you reek of vodka...哇，这一身酒气……

SKSWhat do you mean I reek? I didn't even drink that much!哪里来的酒气，我根本就没喝多少！

Doll AThen do you remember how you died?那你还记不记得自己是怎么挂掉的？

SKSEr... I didn't see anything before I...呃……我什么都没看到，就……

Doll ASo you DID drink too much.果然还是喝太多的原因吧。

Doll BYeah, she's so unreliable, I guess I shouldn't support Squad AK-47 anymore...不靠谱啊，还是不要支持AK47小队了……

SKSSay what?! Of COURSE you should support them! Whyever not?!什么！？当然要支持，为什么不支持！

SKSWe're going to win for sure! Everything will get better once AK-47 goes on the offensive!我们一定能赢的，只要AK47发起进攻，一切都会好起来的！

Doll AAaaah! SKS is going berserk!哇！西蒙诺夫暴走了！

Doll BQuick, someone pin her down!快，快来人按住她！

Stage 3-1 0：23大中央总站 主线3章 · 3-1

Squad Vector decides to split up before entering the Dark Zone. Vector and PP-90 are searching for supplies in the snowstorm, while R93 and K5 are trying their luck on the edges of the Dark Zone. Vector's team only manages to find ammo and weapons along the way, but nothing in the way of food and water. The cold and hunger make this brief search feel like it's taking forever, until PP-90 is eliminated from starvation...在进入暗区之前，Vector小队决定兵分两路。 Vector和PP90一起在风雪中搜索物资，而R93和K5则在暗区周边碰运气。 一路上，Vector小组却只找到了弹药与装备，而同样重要的食物和水却是一无所获。 寒冷与饥饿让这次短时间的搜集行动感觉起来十分漫长，直到PP90因饥饿被淘汰……

Vector survives on the last can of rations left behind by her comrade, which also hardens her resolve to carry on.同伴最后留下的罐头让Vector活了下来，同时也明确了她的决心。

VectorI WILL win this tournament, no matter what I have to do or who I have to work with. I swear, 90... I will win.我会赢下这场比赛的，不管是跟别人合作还是别的什么手段，90，我发誓……我会赢的。

???Agent Vector... No, your new name should be Hellfire.特工Vector…… 不，“地狱火”，这应该是你的新名字。

HellfireHow did you know that?为什么你会知道？

FangBecause my name is Fang, and our names came from the one who orchestrated all this.我的名字是獠牙，我们的名字都来自导致这一切发生的那个人。

HellfireIs that you, Dima?蒂玛？

DimaI apologize for giving you such a lame name, "Vector"... Not that it matters, since you've been as thoroughly rewritten as 416 was.起这么土的名字真是对不住啊，“Vector”…… 算了，反正你也跟“416”一样彻底改变了。

SystemWarning. ID Code is locked.警告，识别编码已被锁定。

FangStill not willing to give up?还是不肯放弃吗？

DimaI'm still young! I don't want to spend my entire life in Manhattan!我还年轻，我不想一辈子呆在曼哈顿这种地方！

HellfireWhy not? We can work together and cleanse this city...未尝不可，我们可以勠力同心，净化这座城市……

DimaWhich is why you became a Cleaner, right? Humph... Well, never mind. The game will end eventually. Even if I can't do it, I'm sure those Dolls will!所以你变成了“净化者”是吧……哼，反正也没差。 这场游戏一定会结束的，就算我做不到，那些人形也一定可以！

Fang"Dolls"...? You mean 416 and Vector, right?“人形”……？ HK416和Vector，对吗？

DimaY-yeah, so what?是、是啊，怎么样？

HellfireSo, does that mean you'll give up if I cleanse them?那么，若是将她们净化，你便死心了？

DimaEhhh?!诶！？

FangI will make them disappear forever.我会让她们永远消失的。

Dima...You...……这……

ISACWarning. Core temperature dropping.警告，核心体温正在降低。

R93Ah, the snow's stopped.啊，雪停了。

K5What happened on Vivi's side?Vivi那边到底发生了什么？

R9390's been eliminated, and Vivi looks like she's taking it pretty hard.90被淘汰了，而且Vivi很受打击的样子。

K5It's just a game, though, it's not like she's really dead... Vivi just takes these things too seriously. Although it is quite tragic to die that way.只是游戏而已，又不是真的挂掉了……Vivi太容易认真了。 虽然这种死法确实很惨吧。

R93More importantly, we picked up a huge stash of ammo, food and weapons on our side, more than we could possibly use... Should we give some to Vivi to cheer her up?关键是咱们这边不管是吃的还是装备弹药反而捡了一大包，现在吃都吃不完…… 是不是都送给Vivi让她开心一下？

K5Pffffft!噗嗤！

R93What's so funny?笑什么？

K5I suddenly realized what a strange pair we make.我突然觉得咱们两个的组合挺奇妙的。

R93Strange, you say? Well, that's true. I mean, you've been picking up nothing but gold gear all the way, while I've been collecting food and more food. Like, I know having a run of luck is a thing, but I didn't expect it to be this extreme.奇妙吗……？ 也对，这一路上光看你捡到金色装备了，而我除了吃的还是吃的。 我知道有时候运气会两极化，但没想过能极端到这种地步。

K5A Doll's nature doesn't decide her luck. On my part, I like fortune-telling, but that's not because my own luck is bad. Also, I feel that having you with me makes me lucky...人形与人形的运气不能一概而论的，我是很喜欢占卜术，但这倒不是因为我自己运气不好。 而且我总觉得，把你带在身边，就能让我变得好运……

VectorK5, how are things on your end?K5，你们那边情况怎么样了？

R93Ah, it's Vivi.啊，是Vivi。

K5Things are going well. But we just saw the in-game notification... Is it true that 90 starved to death?一切顺利。 不过我们刚才看到了游戏发出来的消息提醒…… 那什么，90死于饥饿是认真的吗？

VectorYes, she... She saved her last can of rations for me, but she herself...是的，她…… 她把最后一份食物留给了我，自己却……

R93Oh well, all this will pass. As our team leader, you've got to pull yourself together. We won't let 90's death be in vain!唉，一切都会过去的，队长你一定要振作起来，我们不能让90白白死掉啊！

K5How come you're getting into it too?干嘛你也跟着入戏了？

R93Shhh - this might cheer Vivi up.嘘——这样说不定能让Vivi好受一点。

VectorListen up. We've already lost 90. We can't afford any other non-combat casualties.听着，我们已经失去了90，不能再出现战斗之外的伤亡了。

K5No need to worry. We had a big haul today!这个你不用担心，我们今天有了大收获！

VectorWhat?什么？

R93We found ample gear and supplies. It's sad that 90's no longer around, but we'll be able to go the distance with what we have!我们搜集到了足够的装备和物资。 虽然没了90很遗憾，但有这些东西我们一样可以走到最后的！

Vector... Well, there isn't much time. Let's meet up at the safe house near the Grand Central Terminal, then enter the Dark Zone together.…… 时间差不多了，我们先到大中央总站附近的藏身处会合，然后一起进入暗区。

R93Right, let me consult the map... Er, just to check, how long will it take for you to get there?好，我看看地图…… 呃，先确认一下，你到那边需要多长时间？

VectorI...need to go through... Terminal, Dima said...many enemies, so...ight need some ti...我……要先通……车站，蒂玛说……不少敌人，所……要一点时……

R93Vivi? Hello? Hello? What's going on?Vivi，喂喂？怎么回事？

K5Sounds like a signal problem. You must have used up all your good luck.好像信号出了点问题，你的好运气肯定是要到头了。

R93But we're a team. I can't survive without you.咱们可是一个小组的，我没了你也好不了。

K5Personally, I don't care. Luck is the sort of thing that shuns you the more you want it. To put it another way, good things happen when you're not expecting them. So rather than keep fretting about it, you should focus your attention on something else.我才不在乎呢，运气这种东西，越是在乎就越不会降临到你身上。这么说吧，好运有时候会在不经意间发生。 与其一直放在心上，不如先把注意力专注在别的地方。

R93...I didn't know you could say things like that.……原来你也会说出这样的话啊？

K5Oh, I made it up just for you. Do you like it?专门为你编的，喜欢吗？

R93And here I was going to compliment you... Well, let's go, let's go!本来还想夸你两句的……赶紧走赶紧走！

... The construction site by the road has been abandoned due to the disaster. Three people are located on the scaffolding, observing the two Dolls as they walk and talk.…… 路边的建筑因为灾难肆虐而停止了施工，三个人影刚刚从脚手架上锁定了街道上那两个边走边聊的人形。

416I thought you had a plan of some sort. In the end we're just camping up here spying on others.还以为你们会有什么好的行动计划，结果到头来不也是蹲在这种地方围观别人吗？

UMP9Then what would you have done?那你准备做什么？

416You heard what they were talking about, right?你们应该听到下面这两个家伙说的什么了吧？

UMP9Ja, they were talking about gold gear and whatnot. You want to rob them?嗯，金色的装备什么的，你想去抢吗？

416If we managed to steal their items, I'm pretty sure we would have much less difficulty in the Dark Zone. However, if we just shoot them while they're unawares, some other Dolls might show up to pick up the spoils, so we're better off launching a surprise attack.如果能把她们身上的东西弄到手，相信在暗区里行动的阻力会小很多。 不过在这里放冷枪不保证会有别的人形出现来捡便宜，所以最好采用奇袭的战术。

UMP45Good idea. I'll let you and 9 handle it.好主意，那这个任务就交给你和9去办了。

UMP9Leave it to me, 45!包在我身上吧，45姐！

UMP45What's the matter, don't tell me you're going to take command and have me fight them?怎么了，你该不会还想指挥我去跟她们打吧？

416Of course not. But I can count on you to keep an eye on things, right?当然不，只是帮忙盯个梢，这种程度的事情你总能做到吧？

UMP45Hehe, I'll enjoy this show.哼哼，我会好好享受这场演出的。

416Now then, let's begin.那么，开始行动吧。

ISACThreat signals have vanished.危险信号已消失。

DimaGood, that should be that last enemy.嗯，这应该是最后一个敌人了。

After a hard fight, Vector has eliminated the nearby enemies...经过一番战斗，Vector消灭了附近的敌人……

DimaAgent, in many ways, it's good to have you around...特工，有你真是太好了，各种意义上……

VectorWhy do you look so down?你怎么看起来那么没精神？

Dima(Sighs) A lot of things happened on my end just now... In any case, there's still a ray of hope thanks to your performance.刚才我这边发生了很多事，唉…… 总之多亏了你的表现，我还能看到一丝希望。

VectorAre they the ones who caused the signal interference just now?刚才制造通信干扰的就是这些家伙吗？

DimaNo, the ones who actually caused the interference are... Forget it, it's a long story. Try seeing if comms have recovered. It would be good to confirm your comrades' status.不是的，真正干扰通信的其实…… 算了，说来话长。你可以先试试看信号有没有恢复，最好确认一下你的同伴怎么样了。

VectorYeah...嗯……

R93Ah, Vivi! Looks like comms are back up again. The way the signal cuts out every now and then really eats up time.啊，Vivi！ 总算又联系上了，这信号时好时坏的，真耽误事。

VectorHow are things on your side?你们那边情况如何？

K5We were just about to look for you, but we found an entrance to the Dark Zone before that. The surroundings are fairly safe, but two people from one of the other teams were eliminated here. Thanks to them, we scored some explosives. Maybe we could make this a meetup point, but we'd like to know where you are and how long it'll take for you to get here.我们正打算去找你，不过在那之前我们先找到暗区的入口了。 这附近还算安全，只有两个不知道是哪支小队的成员在这里被淘汰了，拜她们所赐又到手了一些炸弹。 也许我们可以把这里当做一个会合点，不过我们想知道你现在在哪里，还需要多久才能到这边来。

VectorI'm in the subway section of Grand Central Terminal. According to the map, it would be faster to reach a Dark Zone entrance from here, but...我现在在大中央总站地铁里，从地图上看，走这边能更快抵达暗区入口，不过……

DimaThere are enemies camping out here, probably to wait out the storm, so getting past them won't be easy.也许是之前为了躲避暴风雪，但这里还盘踞着一些敌人，想顺利通过绝非易事。

VectorIndeed, so just to be on the safe side...hm?的确是这样，那么保险起见……咦？

Just as Vector is about to go around them, the tracks around her suddenly erupt in a series of explosions. The tremendous shockwaves cause the ceiling overhead to collapse. Sensing danger, Vector immediately dodges the cascade of concrete chunks that crash into the ground with heavy booms.正当Vector改主意打算绕道而行时，站台两侧的铁轨上突然发生连续的爆炸。 巨大的震动导致了顶层结构塌方，意识到危险的Vector立刻躲开了上面掉落的混凝土，这些庞然巨物砸在地面上，发出了沉重的回响。

K5Vivi?! Was that an explosion just now? Are you alright?!Vivi！？ 刚才是不是发生了爆炸？你还好吗！？

Vector...I'm fine. But the electrical circuits in the subway were destroyed and it's a little dark here. Give me a while to check things out.……我没事。 不过地铁的电路被破坏了，这里光线有点暗，等我检查一下。

R93...What's the situation?……怎么样？

VectorThe subway entrance has been sealed off by fallen slabs of concrete. I'm not trapped here, but...it looks like I'll have to pass through the enemy hideout.……地铁的入口被塌陷的混凝土给堵上了。 虽然不会因此被困住，但是……这下就必须从敌人的老巢里闯过去了。

K5Man, if only we hadn't split up, we might be able to help you out.说真的，如果一开始不是分成两组行动的话，说不定我们现在就能帮上忙了。

VectorThe enemies here are a piece of cake. No need to worry.这里的敌人很好对付，不用担心。

DimaEr, Agent, just a heads-up for you... A group of troublesome people just showed up.呃，特工，我必须要提醒你一下…… 麻烦的家伙出现了。

VectorTroublesome people?麻烦的家伙？

Several powerful flashlight beams sweep through the darkness before Dima can elaborate. Vector reflexively ducks behind the cover created by the fallen concrete. Through the gaps, she can see several armed and dangerous-looking men searching the surroundings.不等蒂玛解释，几束强光手电的光线便扫过了黑暗。 Vector下意识地躲进了混凝土构成的掩体内，从缝隙中，她窥见了几个散发着诡谲气势的武装人员正在四处搜索。

Vector...Are those SHD agents?……国土战略局特工？

DimaFormer SHD agents. Do you see their red wristwatches? That's the difference. These guys will be trickier compared to the enemies you took out before.是“原”国土战略局特工，看到他们那只闪着红光的腕表了吧，那就是区别。 和先前被你解决掉的那些敌人相比，这些家伙对付起来会更加棘手。

VectorWhy are there such enemies?为什么会有这种敌人存在？

DimaWell... We poured all our strength into Manhattan to save the country, with the aim of safeguarding each and every innocent life. Some people feel that New York can't be saved by closing the stable door after the horses have bolted. Thus, they've chosen more radical methods to achieve their aim. To them, the disaster isn't the real threat. Rather, it's the wickedness which led Manhattan to this state of events.这个…… 我们为了拯救国家，在曼哈顿这里倾注了所有力量，目的是为了尽可能的保护每一个无辜的生命。 有些人相信拯救纽约的方法并不是像这种“亡羊补牢”式的行动，而是应该采用更加激进的手段来解决。 对他们来说，灾难并不是真正的威胁，相反，导致曼哈顿走到这一步的罪恶才是。

VectorSo you're saying that there are internal conflicts among your people.也就是说，你们之间存在分歧？

DimaWell, I'd prefer to call them disagreements. But I didn't expect that sort of thing to happen...非要定义的话，我愿意称之为“分裂”。 但没想到还会发生那种事……

DimaAnd twice, too! Dammit, I thought I had them under control...而且是两次，该死，我以为我能控制好她们……！

VectorTwice? What happened?两次？发生了什么事？

DimaAhem! That's not important. I'm telling you this because I believe you're not the same as those traitors. We've taken steps toward the righteous path, so someone has to keep walking down it.咳！这不是重点。 之所以告诉你这些，是因为我相信你和这些叛徒不一样，我们已经向正确的道路迈出了步伐，就必须有人坚持下去。

K5Oho, what's this? Was someone introducing the game's plot?什么呀，刚刚这是在介绍游戏的剧情吗？

R93Sounds pretty realistic to me.这个故事听起来不亚于现实呢。

K5Well, realism aside, you shouldn't be wasting time on that, right? Vivi?现不现实另说，但还是别在这种事情上浪费时间了吧？ Vivi？

VectorOn my way.已经在行动了。

Stage 3-2 0：23大中央总站 主线3章 · 3-2

Vector sprints through the subway station platform. After she disables the last of the rogue agents with the flashbangs she threw out, she empties her magazine in their direction. In the wake of the gunshots, the man before her who's breathing heavily through his gas mask collapses to the ground.Vector在地铁站台内加速疾跑，当丢出的两枚干扰弹成功困住了最后一名叛变特工后，她将弹匣内的子弹全部打了出去。 枪声响过，眼前这个佩戴防毒面具，喘着粗气的家伙便瘫倒在了地上。

VectorThat's them taken care of...总算解决了……

K5Well done, Vivi! If we weren't waiting to meet up, I'd like nothing more than to rush over and help you!干得漂亮Vivi！ 要不是等着会合，我真想马上冲过去帮你！

VectorI told you, I don't want more casualties, and these guys are still manageable.我说过不能增加伤亡，而且这种程度我还是能解决的。

DimaAgent, the path leading out of the train station is now clear.特工，离开地铁站的通路已经打开了。

Vector... Dima, if the Dark Zone is our final destination, does it mean that all the enemies there will be like this?…… 蒂玛，如果说暗区是我们最终目的地，那么里面都是这样的敌人吗？

DimaThey're not going to give up.他们不会善罢甘休的。

R93Huh, are they so scary?怎么，还会有什么可怕的敌人吗？

DimaEr, how shall I put this... It's because a lot of unexpected variables came up in Manhattan. This is...well, it's a kind of force that the SHD is powerless to resist.呃，该怎么说呢，因为曼哈顿发生了意想不到的变数。 这是……是国土战略局也无法阻挡的一种……力量。

VectorAccording to the game manual I read, it seems there are even more powerful enemies than this. ...Looks like I need to meet up with the others ASAP.在我阅读过的游戏说明里，好像的确还有更强的敌人存在。 ……看现在这样子，我必须得赶紧跟她们会合才行。

K5As long as we're around, it doesn't matter what kind of enemies they are! But the important thing is that you need to get here quick, Vivi! We can hardly wait!不管是什么样的敌人，有我们在的话完全不是问题！ 关键是Vivi你得赶紧过来啊，我都等不及了！

DimaAgent, I've remotely hacked into the computers in the control room. The automated weapons along the way should have stopped scanning for hostile targets.特工，我设法远程黑入了控制室的电脑，现在道路上的一些自动武器已经停止索敌了。

DimaYou should leave before the enemy notices something is wrong...你最好在敌人察觉到异常之前离开……

VectorI will...我会的……

After reaching the surface through the emergency passage, the first thing that Vector sees are the fallen ruins of a tall bridge. It forms a slope, and as she looks across the expanse, she can see the clock on the roof of Grand Central Terminal, illuminated by the ground lights.从应急通道回到地面后，映入Vector眼帘的是一片倒塌的高架桥废墟。 这里形成了一个斜坡的地形，放眼望去，依稀能看到被地灯照射出的大中央总站顶楼时钟。

VectorGrand Central Terminal...大中央总站……

DimaIt's the hub of Manhattan's traffic, or at least it used to be. (Sighs) It all happened so fast...曼哈顿的交通枢纽，至少曾经是。 唉，一切都来得太突然了……

R93Am I imagining things, or is she being sentimental?是我的错觉吗，这个家伙有点多愁善感。

K5Even though she's an AI simulation, humans and Dolls don't experience joy and sadness in the same way.人类与人形的悲欢并不相同，虽然她也是AI模拟的。

Vector...If we had enough time, I'd like to help her too.……如果时间足够的话，我希望也可以帮到她。

R93V-Vivi?V、Vivi？

K5You're not the type who self-inserts easily into games, are you?你该不会是很容易代入游戏的类型吧？

VectorI just felt that I could understand how she was feeling... Hm, is that strange?我只是觉得自己能体会到她的感受…… 呃，很奇怪吗？

K5Well, if you sympathize with her, then all you have to do is win this tournament and it'll be the end of the game's story. While I don't know what'll happen to Dima in the end, we'll be able to help her by reaching the goal, don't you think?只是感同身受的话，只要赢了这局比赛，对游戏来说就是故事的结束。 虽然不知道蒂玛最后会迎来什么样的结局，但我们只要走到终点就算帮到她了吧。

R93Now that you put it this way, I'm suddenly feeling a great sense of purpose! What even?喂喂，给你这么一说，我突然有种使命感是怎么回事？

K5Isn't that a good thing? We'll use this tournament to save Manhattan too.不是很好嘛，借这次比赛的机会，我们也来拯救一次曼哈顿吧。

DimaYou guys... Thank you all so much. I've been waiting so long for a reliable squad like you to come along!你们…… 真的是太谢谢你们了，我盼了那么长时间，就是盼着你们这样靠谱的队伍来的！

R93She's kind of overreacting, isn't she? Well of course, provided we don't run into any extra trouble...这家伙有点激动过头了吧？ 当然了，只要没有额外麻烦的话……

ISACWarning. Major threat approaching!警告，侦测到严重威胁靠近！

K5Ah! Are you some kind of jinx?!啊！你是属乌鸦的吗？

R93Sorry, shutting up now.对不起，我先闭麦了。

VectorWhat happened?怎么回事？

There seems to be an undercurrent of fear in ISAC's warning. It is the first time Vector has felt uneasy listening to them. As she ducks behind cover upon receiving the warning, she notices that someone has appeared in the direction of Grand Central Terminal - someone who isn't anything like the tall, bulky enemies from before. On the contrary, the other party seems to be about the same height as herself, and she looks completely different from the other NPCs in this game.ISAC发出的警告仿佛已经带上了惊恐的情绪，初次听起来让Vector感到有些不自在。 但警告声之后，她还是迅速躲进了掩体，并注意到大中央总站的方向出现了一个不同于之前敌人那样高大身材的家伙—— 相反，对方看起来身高和自己相当，而且有着与这个游戏的NPC完全不同的容貌。

VectorIs that...a Doll?这是……人形？

VectorI've never seen that face before.这幅面孔，好像从来没见过。

DimaAgent, an extremely dangerous enemy has shown up, you MUST be careful!特工，危险的敌人出现了，千万要小心！

R93Ex-extremely dangerous?很、很危险吗？

K5Well, I wouldn't be surprised who showed up at this point. After all, the prize for winning this game is a huge sum of money. But if I'm not wrong, she's not dressed the way I expected her to look...这里出现谁都不算奇怪，毕竟那么大一笔钱能用游戏的方式来赢取。 不过，她的穿着好像跟我印象当中的不太一样？

DimaNo no no, that's not the point... They're much stronger than any other adversary you've faced so far, so you need to deal with them cautiously. Ah, of course... It would be best if you could destroy them.不不不，这都不是重点…… 她们的战斗力远远超过了以往的任何对手，所以必须谨慎应对。 啊，当然……如果能消灭她那是最好的。

Vector...You really want me to wipe out the other players so badly?……你这么希望我消灭别的玩家？

DimaEr, how shall I explain this...呃，这个该怎么解释呢……

DimaW-wait a minute, I'm picking up more enemies near your position!等、等等，我侦测到更多的敌人在你那边出现了！

Although Vector has the feeling Dima is trying to change the subject, it's true that many NPC enemies have appeared nearby. Their team makeup inspires a strong sense of foreboding in Vector.虽然感觉蒂玛有点岔开话题的嫌疑，但对方的身边的确出现了许多NPC敌人。 这样一支小队的组合在Vector这边看来有种很强烈的违和感。

???She must be nearby. Advance and keep your eyes open.她一定就在这附近，注意搜索前进。

???Let's see how long this rat can hide.让我们看看这只老鼠能藏到什么时候。

VectorAre they from the Last Man Battalion? Why is she with the enemies in the game...幸存者军队？ 她怎么会和游戏里的敌人……

R93This is weird, Vivi. It's a bad omen.这下真的有点奇怪了Vivi，我觉得这不是个好兆头。

K5To hell with your omens! Wait there, Vivi! We're coming over right now to help you!还管他是不是好兆头，Vivi你等着，我们马上去帮你！

VectorNo, there's no need! Stay where you are and keep waiting!不需要，你们继续等待！

K5But will you really be okay by yourself?可是你一个人真的没问题吗？

Vector...I'll need to get rid of the obstacles in the way if we're going to meet up.……如果我们想会合，就必须从前面这条路通过，那么路上的阻碍就必须得清除掉。

DimaUh, I think you might want to listen to your friends' suggestions, really. It might be better to get some help if you want to deal with them...那个，我觉得你可以参考一下你同伴的建议，真的。 还是找几个帮手一起对付她比较好……

K5Whoa! R93, someone's shooting at us!哇！R93，有人在朝我们射击！

R93Vivi, we're being attacked on our end!Vivi，我们这边也被人袭击了！

DimaWhat? Is it them...? Dammit, why now?!咦！？是她们……可恶，偏偏在这个时候！

VectorStay safe! Don't force it if you can't handle it!你们注意安全，千万不要硬碰硬！

Just then, one of the opposition spots Vector and runs over with a whooping cry. This draws the attention of the others, and Vector is soon surrounded and viciously attacked.几乎就在刚刚，对方的一名“同伴”发现了躲藏在这里的Vector，并嗷嗷叫地冲了过来。 这一举动引起了他们的注意，很快，Vector遭到了猛烈的围攻。

VectorThey're launching a simultaneous attack... Did they plan this? ...Looks like I've got a real fight on my hands now.居然在同一时间发动进攻……难道是对面的家伙策划好的？ ……看来这次真的碰上对手了。

Stage 3-3 0：23大中央总站 主线3章 · 3-3

...Slightly earlier.……稍早之前。

K5Ahhhhh, dammit, where are they even shooting from?啊啊啊，可恶，敌人是从哪里打过来的！

R93It's not like they'll answer even if you ask... Ah! Take cover!就算你这么问也……啊，快找掩护！

K5Take what cover? I'm going over there to put a bullet up their butts!找什么掩护，看我冲过去把她们干爆！

R93Quit saying unlucky things like that! Now be a good girl and stay still!快别说这种会找倒霉的话了，给我好好待着！

Meanwhile...与此同时……

UMP945, this is 9, I've gotten behind the targets. We've got them completely by surprise. Are you seeing this?45姐，这里是9，我已经抵达目标后方了。 她们被我们打了个措手不及，你应该看到了吧？

UMP45Ja, I see it. What about 416, though? Isn't she with you?啊，看到了，不过416呢，她没在你身边吗？

UMP9She's nowhere in sight. Maybe she got lost?不在我的视野里，也许是走丢了吧？

416Maybe I should put a hole in the back of your skull so you can see where I am at all times.我现在就可以在你后脑上开个洞，好让你随时能看到我在哪里。

UMP9Ooooh, how scary~哇，好可怕~！

UMP45It's not nice to shoot your friends in the back, 416.在同伴背后放冷枪可不是什么好行为啊，416。

416Someone sitting and relaxing in the rear shouldn't be saying that, should she?这话还轮不到你这个稳坐脚手架的家伙来说吧？

UMP45Well, I've got a good view of things from where I am.我这边视野挺好的。

416Then shut your trap and watch as I take care of them!那就闭嘴，然后看我怎么把她们给解决掉！

UMP9Uh, isn't this a seeker mine?哦~这不是追踪地雷吗？

416It's easy to take care of clustered targets like this. There's no need to waste further bullets - let's finish this quick!这种扎堆在一起的目标处理起来很简单，已经没必要再浪费子弹了，现在就速战速决！

416 primes the seeker mine she's taken out of her backpack and tosses it to the ground.HK416启动了从背包里翻出来的追踪地雷，并扔到了前面的地上。

The tracking mine locks onto its targets, then rolls swiftly toward R93 and K5. In a few seconds, both of them will hit the dirt. —With victory assured, 416 turns and leaves.追踪地雷在扫描了目标之后，迅速向R93和K5的方向滚去，不出几秒，对方就会双双倒地。 ——如此胜券在握的HK416起身开始往回走。

416It's over, 45. Come down and collect...结束了，45，下来捡东西……

UMP45Is it? I can hear gunfire from your end, you know?是吗，可我听到你们那边有枪声？

416What?!什么！？

416 nearly trips in her haste to get back to UMP9's position so she can survey the scene. R93 and K5 are being attacked in the street by LMB forces and are on the verge of going down when the seeker mine 416 threw changes course at the last moment—差点失去平衡的HK416马上回到UMP9身边朝对面观看。 只见到R93和K5在街道上被巡逻的幸存者军队袭击，甚至险些被击倒，而很快，自己投放的追踪地雷却因为敌人的出现而调转目标——

Boom!轰——！

The seeker mine detonates with 100% effectiveness, blasting the attacking enemies sky high. Meanwhile, R93 and K5 manage to get behind cover in time and are unharmed, though stunned by the sight of aftermath.几乎在一瞬间，追踪地雷便发挥了百分百的效果，来袭的敌人被炸上了天，而事先躲在了掩体内，到最后也毫发无损的R93和K5则被眼前这一幕惊呆了。

K5Er... Are those our attackers? ...I don't believe it, you got them all in a single mine. Well done, R93!呃…… 这些就是偷袭我们的敌人吗？ ……居然一个雷就全部干掉了，挺、挺有本事的嘛R93！

R93No, it wasn't me.不，不是我干的。

K5Eh?! Then what's going on?诶！？那这是怎么回事？

R93Maybe they accidentally hit a propane tank by the side of the road. Aren't the streets usually littered with those things?搞不好是这些人不小心打爆了路边的煤气罐什么的吧，街道上经常摆着这种东西不是吗。

K5Maybe...? Looks like the wheel of fortune has finally started turning in your favor!也许……是这样吧？ 看来你开始转运了呢！

Sound of Grinding TeethWhat kind of dumb luck is this...?!狗屎运……！

K5Huh? Did you say something?咦？你说什么了吗？

R93Were you...hearing things? Aw, it doesn't matter. Come, let's see what the enemies dropped, then we'll wait somewhere else.幻听……吧？ 嗨呀，这种事情也无所谓，来，看看这些敌人又掉了什么好东西，然后咱们换个地方等吧。

K5Sure!嗯！

After watching the incredibly fortunate duo depart, 416 and UMP9 arrive at the location where the LMB troopers were wiped out.目送着两个走狗屎运的家伙离开后，HK416和UMP9便来到了被消灭的幸存者军队这里。

UMP45You sure did them a huge favor, 416.给她们帮了大忙呢，416。

416How was I supposed to know a bunch of game enemies would show up at exactly the same moment?! And shouldn't the seeker mine have prioritized its first target?!我怎么会知道这个时候会冒出一群游戏里的敌人！ 而且这个追踪地雷难道不应该优先攻击第一个目标吗！？

UMP9Well, the only one who could answer that question is the seeker mine, but it's gone.这个嘛，能回答你这个问题的追踪地雷已经没了哟。

UMP459, they look eager to meet up with their friend. We'd best eliminate them before that happens. Press the attack any way you can, I'll meet up with you in a bit.9，她们看上去着急要跟同伴会合，最好在那之前就把她们解决掉。 现在尽可能采取进攻手段，我稍后会跟上的。

UMP9Got it, 45!明白了，45姐！

K5Uwah! Not again?!呜哇——！又来！？

R93It might be the same bunch from before! What a pain!搞不好还是刚才那些人，真是纠缠不休！

K5Let's just charge at them!我们杀过去吧，杀过去！

R93Nonono, Vivi told us to protect ourselves. If we can shake them off, we should.不不不，Vivi已经说过要保存自己，咱们这边能甩掉还是尽量甩掉吧。

Boom—!轰——！

K5Come on, they're even using grenades! They aren't going to let us escape, you know!喂喂，她们连手雷都用上了，这根本就是不想让我们逃走啊！

R93Right! There's a cross junction up ahead. You go left, I'll go right, we'll shake them off and meet again up ahead!对了，前面是条十字路口，你左我右，先甩掉她们再到前面碰头吧！

K5I hope this works. See you around!希望这招管用，我先走了！

R93 makes a turn at the cross junction and sprints through the snowstorm.在十字路口转向后，R93在风雪中急速奔跑着。

The sound of gunfire ringing in her ears tells her that the enemy is headed her way. As she thinks about how to handle this, another grenade goes off nearby, and the white vapor it throws up starts to blur her vision.耳畔传来的枪声让她确信对手朝自己这边来了，而正在思考该如何应对的时候，又一枚手雷在自己身边爆炸，升腾起的白色气体让自己的视觉开始模糊起来。

———

R93Oh no...糟、糟了……！

Smug VoiceHeehee~ you've got nowhere to run now.嘻嘻，这下你可跑不掉了。

R93W-wait a minute, aren't you a Griffin Doll? We're all colleagues, right? Surely we can talk things out!等、等一下，你是不是格里芬的人形？ 大家同事一场，有话好商量！

Smug VoiceUnfortunately, I'm not a member of your company. You'd better savor your last moments in the game.很遗憾，我还真不是贵司的成员，现在来享受最后的游戏时光吧。

416Have you gotten your target yet?已经逮到了吗？

UMP9Huh, does that mean you haven't caught them either?诶，那个你没追到？

416She ran too fast... In any case, even taking out one of them will be enough. I'm pretty sure they're both carrying lots of good items.她跑得太快了……总之，能解决掉一个也好，相信她身上也有不少好东西。

R93There's only mineral water here!这里只有矿泉水！

UMP9Well, we'll find out what she exactly has when we search her! Oh yeah, weren't you feeling down about wasting a seeker mine just now? I've got another one here.具体有什么，等我们亲自搜就知道了~ 啊对了，刚才你不是遗憾浪费了追踪地雷吗，我这里还有一枚哦。

416Cut the chatter and do it!别废话了，快点动手！

UMP9As you can see, my partner's the impatient type. Goodbye then, Griffin Dolls~你看，我的同伴就是那么急性子。 那么再见啦，格里芬的人形~

R93 hears the sound of a seeker mine activating, and she realizes who set off the explosion a moment ago.R93听到了追踪地雷启动的声音，这让她明白了刚才突然发生的爆炸究竟源自于谁。

But unfortunately, it's too late. With the snowstorm severely hindering her vision, all she can do is fire wildly in all directions, scrabbling back as she hears the seeker mine approach. All of a sudden, she trips and loses her balance, falling backward as inertia carries her along. Then something unexpected happens—但太迟了，尚未恢复视觉的她只能胡乱放枪，一边听着追踪地雷靠近，一边快速地后退。 直到脚跟绊到了什么东西，她的身体失去平衡，开始随着惯性向后倒去，接着，意想不到的事情便发生了——

R93Whoaaaa!哇——！

Pomf!嘭！

UMP9 and 416 watch as R93 suddenly vanishes.在UMP9和HK416的注视下，R93居然整个身体消失了。

UMP9Ehhhh?!诶！？

416Uh...啊……

"Is there even such a skill in the game?" UMP9 is just about to voice this question when she realizes that the seeker mine has stopped in place. It would seem it hasn't gone off because it has lost its target. A moment later, it acquires a new target...“游戏里有这种技能吗？” ——原本打算发出这般疑问的UMP9，此时注意到自己丢出去的追踪地雷停在了原地。 似乎是因为失去了目标，它并没有爆炸，而是在片刻之后，重新修正了目标……

416How is this even possible?! 9, get away!还能这样的吗！？ 9，快闪开！

UMP9Don't worry, this kind of thing only needs a dodge roll to...不要紧，这种东西只要一个翻滚就能……

416Wait, that's...!等一下，那边是……！

Boom!轰——！

An explosion goes off at the terminus of 9's dodge roll. There is a blaze of fiery light, and 9 looks like a squashed frog on the ground, her face blackened by soot.爆炸声在UMP9翻滚的落点响起，一阵火光之后，UMP9已经像青蛙一样趴在地面，脸部紧贴着一片焦黑之物。

SystemPlayer "Reina" has been killed by a suitcase bomb.玩家“莱娜”死于行李炸弹。

416So, would you like to comment on the dearly departed?……要不要发表一下被公开处刑的感言？

UMP45When I catch up to you, I'll let my fists do the talking. ...What about the target?等我拳头够得着你的时候再说不迟。 ……目标呢？

416I have no idea what happened to her. She just vanished. It seems I won't be able to do any real damage to her.不知道发生了什么，整个消失了。 看起来，也没办法对她造成实质性的伤害了。

UMP45Looks like we won't be able to finish them off, and we even lost 9 as well... Still, that's fine. There can only be one winner, after all. Collect 9's gear and come back.看来是没办法解决掉她们了，这边还损失了9…… 不过也没关系，这个游戏的赢家本来只要一个人就够了。 把9的东西带上然后回来吧。

UMP45Don't go all scary and quiet all of a sudden. The loss of my two reliable comrades deeply wounds me.别突然做出这样可怕的沉默，我对两位可靠同伴的死深感痛心。

416As if anyone would believe that!信你才有鬼！

After picking up the supplies that 9 dropped, 416 leaves the street, griping as she goes.拾取了UMP9掉落的物资之后，HK416一边抱怨着，一边离开了这条街道。

R93...No, wait. Are you still there? Hellooooo? K5, are you there? K—5—!……不是，等等。 你们还在吗？ 哈喽——？K5你在这里吗？K——5——！

R93...Aw, what rotten luck... It's absolutely terrible... Uh, if whoever it is that's coming after me is still out there, I don't mind if you show yourself either! Just, don't leave me here, at least finish me off or something!……运气太差了……运气太差了…… 那个，刚才追我的人呢，你们来也行啊！ 总之别把我丢在这里，与其这样不如给我个痛快！

—On the other side.——另一方面。

Fang... I thought it would be over soon, but you're more resilient than I expected. I'll give you that much.…… 我以为很快就会结束，但没想到你的坚强超出了我的想象，这一点值得赞许。

VectorI wouldn't be standing here if I couldn't endure this.没能耐就不会站在这里了。

DimaWell done, Agent! You managed to corner her! Quick, finish her off while you have the chance!太好了特工，你成功压制了她！ 快，趁现在把她干掉！

VectorYou don't need to remind me.不用你说我也会的。

FangIn that case, I'll need a new plan.这样的话，需要重新制定策略了。

Vector...?……？

FangYou need to save the best for last... I look forward to seeing the look of despair on your face when the time comes.好戏要留到最后……我很期待那时的你会有怎样绝望的表情。

Fang vanishes after leaving that cryptic comment behind.留下耐人寻味的话语后，对方竟消失在了街道上。

DimaWait! Dammit, she gave me the slip!等一下——！ 可恶，还是让她给逃了！

Vector...Why do you sound like you want her dead?……你好像很希望她被干掉？

DimaOh I'd like nothing more than to wipe her off the face of the earth this instant! Ah, of course, it's for Manhattan's sake!何止……我恨不得立刻让她消失…… 啊，当然当然，这也是为了曼哈顿！

Vector...Isn't she a player too? Did you tell her the same thing about me as well?……对方不也是玩家吗？是不是你在那边也是跟她这么说我的？

DimaHuh?诶？

VectorThings aren't adding up, Dima. Are you hiding something from me?蒂玛，我越来越觉得有些奇怪。 你是不是在隐瞒着什么？

DimaU-uh, I...!这、这个……！

K5Vivi... Vivi! If you hear me, please respond! How are things on your end?Vivi……Vivi！听到请回答！ 你那边怎么样了？

Vector... This is Vector, the enemy got away. How about you?…… 这里是Vector，那个家伙逃走了，你们呢？

K5I just rescued R93. You won't believe how pathetic she looked while being chased by the enemy, it was hilarious!我这边刚刚把R93给救出来。 你绝对想不到她刚才被人追的狼狈样子有多搞笑！

R93Shut up! I've had enough bad luck for one day!闭嘴！我今天已经够倒霉了！

VectorThank goodness, it seems you're both alright. Were you attacked just now? Who was the enemy?看来你们都没事，真是太好了。 你们刚才不是遇到袭击了吗？敌人呢？

R93They're long gone, probably because they lost one of their people.她们早走了，在那之前她们死掉了一个同伴，大概是因为这个所以撤退了。

VectorI see... Was your opponent from Griffin too?这样……对面也是格里芬人形吗？

R93Sorry, I got flashbanged before I could see them...还没来得及看到就中了干扰弹……抱歉。

K5I did I did! I saw her! I've never met her at Griffin before, but her silver hair and lime green eyes were very striking!我我我！我看到了！ 刚刚追我的那个敌人没在格里芬见过，但她银白色的长发和若草色的眼睛让人印象深刻！

VectorSilvery hair and lime green eyes...?银白色头发和若草色眼睛……？

K5Is something wrong?有哪里不对劲吗？

Vector... I think we encountered the same enemy, but it's strange... How did she appear in two different places within such a short time frame..? I'm heading over to you ASAP. Be careful.…… 我们应该碰上了同一个对手，但有点奇怪……她竟然能在这么短的时间里出现在两个不同地方…… 我马上就到你们那边了，千万要小心。

R93Don't worry, at least there won't be anyone else coming...放心吧，至少现在已经不会有人再来……

K5R93!!!R93——！！！

R93Ehhh?!诶！？

VectorThose gunshots, is it her again?!这枪声，又是那个家伙吗！？

K5Hang on, Let me take a look... Eh?! That...that's...等等，让我看一下…… 诶！？ 那……那个是……

K5Whoa!哇！

R93V-Vivi! You—V、Vivi！你——

Doll CDon't oversell her. This game isn't that easy.别尬吹哦，玩这游戏可不是有手就行啊。

K5Huh? Do YOU know better, then?哈？你有什么高见？

Doll COf course I do. Let me get this out of the way, I haven't played this game before, but I HAVE seen it streamed. Vivi lacks experience in how to play "The Division", which is why her team nearly wiped. I know some streamers are good enough to turn the tables by themselves, but their skills are several levels above Vivi's.当然啦，首先我没有玩过这个游戏，但是我看过直播，Vivi就是因为缺少全境该有的套路，所以才差点团灭。 我知道有个主播能带着团队极限反杀，明显就比Vivi高了不止一个档次呢。

R93You haven't even played before, so who are you to talk?你都没玩过还说什么？

Doll CBut I've seen it being streamed, which is why I understand how this works. Don't you ever watch livestreams?我就是因为看了直播所以了解呀，你们都不看直播的吗？

K5Dammit, that's not even an argument!可恶，这完全没有说服力好吗！？

Doll CThe results will be argument enough. Why don't we see which of the teams we support ends up winning?只有结果最具说服力，不如看看最后我们支持的队伍里谁会赢好了？

K5Sounds good to me! Come, 93! Let's bet on Vivi!好啊！93，快来跟我一起投Vivi！

R93No, you need to calm down...不是，你先冷静点……

K5What's there to be calm about? Vivi will win for sure, just you wait! Miss Kalina, this is my wager!这有什么好冷静的，Vivi是一定会赢的，走着瞧！ 格琳娜小姐，这是我的份！

K5Come come come, there's plenty for everyone! Thanks for your patronage~啊~来来来来，大家都有份，都有份！ 谢谢惠顾！

System10 Agents remaining.剩余10名特工。

Stage 4-1 0：50暗区 主线4章 · 4-1

DimaAgent? Agent? I'm not picking up your position. Your signal echo vanished in Manhattan. Please respond, I repeat, please respond...特工？特工？ 我无法侦测到你的位置，信号反射在曼哈顿消失了。 请回话，重复，请回话……

416...Shut up.……别吵了。

Lexington Avenue. 416 re-emerges onto the streets, illuminated by a street lamp.

416I narrowly managed to escape death just now, I don't want you to blow out my eardrums with your whining.我才刚刚死里逃生，可不想被你把脑袋吵破。

DimaI'm glad you're alright, Agent.特工，很高兴你没事。

416Save it. I don't recall you showing the least bit of concern for me when I was running around just now. If you really want to make yourself useful, then why don't you think of a way to help me out?省省吧，我刚才被追得上蹿下跳的时候不见你出来关心我。 要是你真的派得上用场，就想办法帮帮我的忙怎么样？

DimaI can't assist you from my current position, Agent...我现在所处的位置无法为特工提供支援……

416...Then forget it.……算了。

416It's not like I was really expecting an NPC to be of much help anyway.我也没真的指望NPC能做什么。

The fog slowly clears... The storm is over, and only a few scattered snowflakes still flit through the sky. The street lights are evenly distributed throughout the darkness, illuminating the street corners. The cold air forms a mist close to the ground, making this city of death look even more menacing.雾气渐渐散去…… 暴风雪已经结束，天空只飘着零星的雪花。 黑暗中的灯光或多或少地分布在道路各个角落，因为冷空气的缘故，地面蔓延着雾气，让这座原本就已被死亡笼罩的城市变得更加诡谲。

DimaWe dispatched a wave of Agents into the Dark Zone before you, but the results were not what we were hoping for — namely, the rogue agents that you encountered. I'm glad you're much more capable than our previous Agents. I believe that with your help, this operation's success won't be too far off.我们曾经派遣过第一批特工前往暗区，但结果却不是我们乐于见到的——就好像你遇到的那些叛变特工。 很高兴你拥有比以往那些特工更强的实力，相信有你的帮助，距离这次行动的成功就不会太远了。

416Success...成功……

416 purses her lips as she walks down the road.416行走在道路上，轻轻撇了撇嘴。

416I am not the least bit interested in winning or losing this game. I was dragged into this unwillingly in the first place. 45's the one who wants the prize money.我对游戏成不成功一点兴趣都没有。 原本我就是被强拉来的。 最想要奖金的人也只是45。

DimaB-but...可，可是……

416I'm not backing out.我不会退出的。

DimaHm?嗯？

416You're just an NPC, so you probably don't understand. Anyone would get mad after being treated that way. And while I'm not particularly driven to win, I hate losing pointlessly even more.你只是个NPC，可能理解不了吧。 换谁被这么对待，都会想发发火的。 而且，虽然我没什么强烈的求胜心，但更讨厌无意义的输。

Just as 416 finishes speaking, her communicator suddenly lights up for the first time in a long while.416话音未落，忽然，她的通讯突然久违地亮了起来。

UMP45Good evening. I see you managed to survive? I thought Griffin sent out some kind of badass, but turns out she didn't manage to do much to you.晚上好，原来你还活着啊？ 我以为格里芬会派出什么样的狠角色，结果也没把你怎么样嘛。

416You sound disappointed. Upset that I didn't die?你听起来很失望啊。 就那么巴不得我被干掉吗？

UMP45Well, considering this is a game, I don't see why we couldn't give it a try. After all, we rarely get to experience such things, don't you think?游戏里的话，未尝不可。 毕竟也算是难得的体验，你不那么认为吗？

416The two of us actually agree on something. That is rare indeed. I also feel that since this is a game, we should cherish these rare opportunities. Like say, by doing things we can't do outside.我们难得意见一致。 我也觉得，既然是在游戏里，就要好好珍惜难得的机会。 做一点在外面不能做的事情。

UMP45I'm very glad to hear you say that. Now, if you could rein in that murderous intent you're radiating I would be even happier. I, for one, have nothing but the deepest faith in an elite Doll like yourself, which is why I've entrusted such an important task to you. I wouldn't rest easy if it had been someone else.很高兴听到你这么讲，如果能稍微收敛下你的杀气，我就更高兴了。 我可是非常信任身为精英人形的你，才把这么重要的任务交到你手上的喔。 换做是别的家伙我可放心不下。

416Why, what an honor.那还真是谢谢你的信赖。

UMP45You're welcome. I'll accept a drink from you once the game is over. Ah~ That's right, thanks to you delaying the enemy, I managed to find the medicine that NPC wanted. There are six doses in total. I'll bring your share onto the departure craft with me, so you'd better do your best, okay?不用客气，等游戏结束后请我喝一杯就好。 啊~对了，多亏有你拖住敌人，我已经找到那个NPC想要的药物了，足足有六份。 我会连带着你的那一份登机离开的，你要好好加油哦。

The transmission ends.通讯中断。

416We'll see who gets the last laugh. The last person who made me mad is still...……那就看看谁能笑到最后吧。 上一个让我这么生气的家伙还是……

416Forget it. This is weird. There's no more fog, but it feels even more disorienting than before. I'm having difficulty finding the right path.算了。 真奇怪。 明明没有了雾气的影响，却好像更难把握方向感了。 很难找到正确的路。

DimaThat's because hardly anyone has come here before.因为这里几乎不曾有人来过。

416Why is it you can still contact me?为什么你还能联系到我？

DimaWe have a special SHD-only frequency.我们有国土战略局专用的频段。

416Really?是吗？

DimaAfter this, please pay attention to the contaminated areas within the Dark Zone. Staying there for extended periods of time will worsen your infection.接下来请注意暗区内到处存在的污染区域，如果在那里长时间停留，会加剧身体的感染。

416If you're talking about the passages by the road which seem to be glowing green, I already guessed they were bad news. I have no intention of going into them.如果是指路边那些像是冒着绿光一样的建筑通道，看起来就不是什么好地方，我是不打算进去的。

DimaAfter Black Friday, they moved a large number of the people who needed help to this region, then built a wall around them and established Manhattan's final defensive line. The situation deteriorated beyond what the line could handle. When Manhattan lost power, this place was quickly abandoned. The only thing left behind other than the cutting edge weapons and gear they once used is death. Nobody went in again, and nobody has come out alive either.黑色星期五之后，人们曾经收容了大量需要帮助的人到这片区域，并建起围墙，组成了曼哈顿最后的防线。 形势的恶化超过了它所能够承受的极限。 曼哈顿失去电力供应后，这里很快就被疏散，除了他们曾经使用过的尖端武器和装备之外，这里就只剩死亡。 没有人再进去，也没有人再活着出来过。

416The Dark Zone. ...It takes a light to cast shadows. But I can't see the slightest bit of light in this world. It's just going from one Hell to a worse one.“暗区”。 ……有光的地方才会有影子。 但在这个世界里，我根本看不到一点光的存在。 只不过是从一个地狱走到了另一个更糟糕的地狱吧。

DimaNo, we still have a thread of hope left here—不，我们现在还有一线希望在这里——

416"The people outside desperately need the medicine." You're trying to say that light is hidden in the darkest place, right? Cliches like that went out of style 40 years ago.“外面的人迫切需求的药物”。 你是想说光就藏在最黑暗的地方吗？ 这种老套的故事四十年前就已经没人在讲了。

DimaThat's the most important objective to me. The medicine itself means more than its mere existence. What it symbolizes—hope—is far more important. People always try to save things because they need a purpose. This is also why we're so weak when we try to save ourselves.对我而言，这是最重要的目的。 药物的存在带来不仅仅是它本身的功能。 更多的是它象征的意义，希望。 人总会试着去拯救一些东西，是因为人总是需要一个方向。 这也是为什么我们总在自救的时候显得那么脆弱。

416What you said sounds pretty deep and profound, but do you actually know what it means? It doesn't match at all with what I said. You sound like you're reading off a script.虽然你好像说了一堆了不起的话，但这话里的意思你自己读的懂吗？ 跟我的话完全对不上，就像在读稿子一样。

DimaThere seems to be a good extraction point near the Russian Embassy. If you find the medicine, you can call for help there.俄罗斯大使馆附近看起来是一个不错的回收点，如果你找到了药物，可以到边去呼叫救援。

416Well, isn't that a "personalized" suggestion... Hm?还真是“人性化”的建议……嗯？

Thud! As a chill creeps up her spine, 416 silently curses herself for her carelessness — she was so caught up in talking to Dima that she failed to noticed the rapid footsteps behind her. By the time she realizes that someone was approaching, her opponent has already gotten to within two body lengths - a somewhat dangerous range for her. Before even verifying the identity of the person behind her, 416 explosively maxes out her body's physical parameters by turning to face the source of the sound and holding down the trigger. From the corner of her vision, she notices a familiar figure swiftly evading the attack.

VectorSilvery hair and lime green eyes... I won't let you get away this time.银白色长发和若草色眼睛……这次绝对不会再让你跑掉了。

416Again? —Alright then, this time I'll silence you for good!又来了吗？ ——好吧，这次就让你彻底说不出话来！

... Several minutes ago.…… 几分钟前。

SystemThe transmission ends. X Hellfire has killed Good Luck Doesn't Last. X Hellfire has killed Philosopher Fairy.通讯中断。 x 地狱火 击杀了 欧鳇寿命极短 x 地狱火 击杀了 哲学馆妖精

R93 and K5's transmissions are suddenly interrupted, and the announcement of their deaths soon follows. Vector clenches her fists. It implies that she is now totally alone. PP-90's words are still echoing in her ears.R93和K5的通讯骤然中断，紧随而至的，就是她们的阵亡通知。 Vector紧捏着拳头，这意味着，她彻底变成了孤身一人。 就在不久之前，PP90留下的话语还在她的耳边回响。

Vector...Even without the Commander's mission to drive me... Even if it's just for the sake of my friends, I will NOT lose.……就算把指挥官的任务放到一边。 单单只是为了我的同伴们，我也绝对不能输。

I have to win. This thought burns brightly within Vector's neural cloud. Not only does she have to win, but also...一定要赢。 这个念头如同炽热的火焰一样在Vector的心智内熊熊燃烧着。 不仅要赢，而且……

VectorSilvery hair and lime green eyes... I know, I know there is no right or wrong on the battlefield. But...the deaths of my friends must be avenged.银白色的头发和若草色的眼睛…… 虽然，虽然战场上没有对错之分。 但是……杀掉我重要的队友的仇，我一定要报。

DimaAgent, please continue advancing, there's not much time left!特工，请尽快前进，你的时间已经不多了！

VectorI know that, can't you see I'm moving forward? ...How many agents are left, Miss Dima?我知道，这不是正在前进吗？ ……蒂玛小姐，现在还剩下多少特工？

Dima...There should be three left, I think.……应该是三个吧。

VectorYou actually answered me? ...Before this you didn't seem to care.你居然真的回答我？ ……之前都是更加事不关己的感觉的。

DimaSurely you jest, Agent. The enemy forces are still very strong, so I need you all to work together.不要开玩笑了，特工。 敌人的势力仍然很强大，我需要你们携手合作。

VectorI can't do that. One of the other surviving agents...has silvery hair and lime green eyes, right? I will never forgive her for what she did.这一点我做不到。 除了我之外还剩下两个人……其中一个就是那个银白色头发和若草色眼睛的家伙吧。 只有那个人我不能原谅。

DimaAgent, there is no need to continue fighting among yourselves. Please...特工，现在已经没有继续争斗的必要了，请你……

Vector...!……！

Just as Vector slowly approaches the center, a familiar yet eye-catching form comes into view.就在Vector慢慢向着中央靠近的时候，一个熟悉又扎眼的身影在她的视野内冒了出来。

Vector—It's her!——是那家伙！

DimaW-wait, Agent!等，等等，特工！

VectorBlood for blood!偿还血债吧！

DimaPlease wait! Agents! You don't need to fight anymore!等一下！特工们！你们已经不需要战斗了！

416You should be telling her that.这话你该说给对面的听。

416However, you'll have to pray that she survives this time.不过，你得祈祷她这次能活下来。

Stage 4-2 0：50暗区 主线4章 · 4-2

The sounds of gunfire in the Dark Zone grow more and more intense, but the enemies patrolling the street are not alarmed by it— They act as their programming dictates - they will only make a move once they "see" their enemies. Therefore, when facing these enemies, whose action priorities are predetermined, the best course of action is to pull the trigger without any hesitation.交火的声音在暗区愈发激烈，但巡逻在街道上的敌人并不为这喧嚣所警觉—— 依照设定，他们仅会在“看见敌人”的时候才展开行动。因此在面对这些被设定好行动准则的敌人时，毫不犹豫地扣下扳机是最佳选择。

However, 416 feels that there is a big difference when she faces off against Vector once more — that is because the last time she fought Vector, her opponent felt more like an NPC adversary. That said, her present circumstances give her no time to dwell on the strangeness of this.

Bullets sweep across the ground, throwing up a trail of dust clouds and sprays of muddy water— They race after their sprinting target, until said target slides behind a car by the roadside.

As 416 reloads, she sees Vector exposed for a moment between her rounds of shooting, but just as she leans out to take a shot, an HE grenade lands nearby.

416Tsk!啧！

This is the last piece of cover available to 416. While she manages to evade the damage of the grenade with a dodge roll, she is left completely exposed to Vector's shooting in turn.这里已经是HK416最后能依靠的掩体了。 尽管朝一旁做出翻滚动作就能避开高爆手雷的伤害，可代价却是自身彻底暴露在了Vector的射击范围内。

At this point, both sides are practically within arms' reach. As she leaves her cover, 416 can see Vector in full combat mode, while the weapon in her hands looks like it's been upgraded by the spoils of war. Even so, 416 manages to find a slim lifeline; there is a suitcase bomb between herself and Vector, its sensor LED flashing. 416 opens fire on it without any hesitation.此时此刻，双方的交火距离已在咫尺之间，离开掩体的HK416已经能看到Vector处于战斗状态的模样，而她手中的武器似乎已经做好了收割战果的准备。 即便如此，HK416还是找到了一线生机——介于自己和Vector之间的路面上还存在着一个闪烁着感应器灯光的行李炸弹，而HK416毫不迟疑地选择了朝它开火。

For a brief moment, 416 feels herself being struck by multiple bullets, but then the shooting stops almost as abruptly as it began.须臾之间，HK416明显能感觉到自己的身体被数枚子弹命中，但对方的射击却在这之后戛然而止。

Her enemy is out of rounds. Having come to that conclusion, 416's vision begins to turn red. She charges through the smokescreen thrown up by the explosion and points her gun's muzzle squarely between Vector's eyes.对方的子弹已经耗尽了。 如此判断的HK416在视觉影像开始泛起红光的时刻，冲破了因爆炸而产生的烟尘并举起武器对准了Vector的眉心。

Similarly, Vector has her sidearm — she was unable to reload her primary weapon in time — out and pointed at 416's left eye.同样的，因来不及更换弹匣而选择使用自卫武器的Vector也将枪口抵在了HK416的左眼上。

The first to act will win, and both sides are on equal footing. Yet neither side pulls their respective triggers — they appear to have seen the same confusion they are feeling mirrored in each other's eyes.在先手即胜的当下，旗鼓相当的两者却都没有扣动扳机——她们似乎都从彼此凝视的目光里察觉到了相同的疑惑。

The brief silence is broken by a screeching noise. A red signal flare climbs into the air above the city's skyline, far in the distance. It is the landing beacon for the extraction chopper.短暂的沉默被一道尖锐的声响所打破，城市尽头的夜空中，升起了一枚红色的信号弹。 那是向直升机传达撤离点位置的标识。

System"aaaa" has called for Agent extraction. 9:59:62 until evac chopper arrives.已呼叫“aaaa”来执行特工撤退。 距特工撤退直升机抵达还有9:59:62

DimaA-Agents! Someone's launched the evac signal flare! Please hurry here and meet up ASAP!特，特工！信号弹已经发射，赶紧过来集合——！

VectorIf you're so worried, you can go yourself. I've got more important things to take care of.着急的话就自己去吧，我现在还有更重要的事情。

416You're really not going to let it go?你还真的死咬不放啊？

VectorWhose fault do you think it is, anyway?也不看看是拜谁所赐。

DimaHey, I don't care if you want to fight all day afterwards, but now is really not the time— Whoa!你们之后打个天昏地暗我都不管，但是现在真的不是时候啊——呜哇！

VectorMiss Dima? What's happening on your side?蒂玛小姐？你那里出什么事了？

ISACDetecting large numbers of hostile signals.侦测到大量威胁信号。

416At a time like this...这种时候……

Right after ISAC's warning, 416 and Vector both feel their vision distorting almost simultaneously. Right after that, they hear the quiet sound of metal clinking, and throw themselves away from each other in a reflexive dodge — and the place they had occupied just a moment ago is promptly engulfed in a series of explosions. The blasts were caused by several HE grenades, coming from the direction of the signal flare. The rogue agents have appeared once more.ISAC的警告之后，HK416和Vector几乎同时感觉到视觉信号遭到干扰。 紧跟着，当她们听到周边出现了轻微的金属碰撞声后，身体下意识地向两边躲闪——而原本她们所在的位置立刻发生了连续的爆炸。 这是数枚高爆手雷所引起的，源自信号弹升起的方向，叛变特工再次出现。

416Aren't these numbers a bit much?这个数量……未免也太夸张了点？

DimaAll the surrounding enemies are converging on the extraction point, in addition to the ones who have already spotted you.现在不仅仅是发现了你们的敌人，连周边的敌人也全被吸引到了撤离点附近。

416Was it because 45 called the evac chopper? —Come to think of it, how come your voice is so soft now?难道是因为45呼叫了直升机的缘故吗？ ——话说，你的声音怎么突然变小了？

DimaDon't worry about me for now, focus on what's in front of you, Agents! You guys are in a spot of trouble...先别管我的事，关注眼前，特工！ 你们有麻烦了……

???—Are you ready...to die? —The moment...when everything ends...

DimaWe're doomed...完了……

416Wait a minute, that voice is...等等，这声音是……？

A nearby explosion from a grenade interrupts 416's train of thought — the rogue agents have surrounded them. After finding a hiding place, 416 checks her mag and verifies Vector's position.在附近爆炸的手雷打断了HK416的思绪——叛变特工已经包围了过来。 HK416躲藏好之后检查了一下弹匣，并再次确认了Vector所在的位置。

416So the enemy is targeting her too?那家伙也成这些敌人的目标了吗？

DimaI think so... Wait a minute, what are you up to?应该是这样…… 等等，你想干嘛？

416 ignores Dima. She waits for a moment when Vector is being pinned down by the rogue agents before turning and fleeing down an alley.不再理会蒂玛，HK416趁着Vector被叛变特工稍稍压制的空档，转身跑进了小路。

DimaHey! Don't run off by yourself! Are you going to abandon her? If you don't work together, both of you will have a hard time dealing with all these enemies by yourselves!喂！别一个人跑啊！你想把她丢下吗？ 不合作的话，不管是你还是她都很难单独干掉这些敌人的啊！

416You're so damn naggy... We might be quarreling, but my partner is still 45. There's no way I'd work with someone from Griffin. My friend has already called the evac chopper, and the medicine is over there too. Why should I not meet up with her and waste my time on that madwoman instead?你可真啰嗦……就算正在吵架中，我的同伴也照样是UMP45，我才不会跟格里芬的人合作。 我的同伴已经呼叫救援直升机了，药品也都在那边。 我不去跟她汇合，还要理那个疯子？

DimaB-but...但、但是……

There seems to be a disturbing change in the way Dima is speaking. Though 416 doesn't want to describe it that way... It feels as though Dima has come to life.蒂玛的声音和她说话的方式都出现了某种诡异的变化。 尽管416并不想用这种说法，但…… 她觉得蒂玛就好像活了过来。

DimaI have higher hopes on the two of you than the other one.比起那边的那位，我更看好你们两个啊。

416What?哈？

The sound of gunfire closes in.枪声紧追而来。

DimaHuh? It-it looks like she's catching up!咦？她，她好像赶上来了！

416Tsk, caught between a rock and a hard place. What a pain. Get out of my way!啧……前有狼后有虎，麻烦死了。 别想阻拦我！

Stage 4-3 0：50暗区 主线4章 · 4-3

—Somewhat earlier, at the United Nations Plaza. After being taken over by the Last Man Battalion, this place, which once safeguarded peace, was converted into a military stronghold. The defenders here were cleared out not long ago. UMP45 spots the human agent who's been guiding them over the radio all this time on the plaza...——稍早之前，联合国广场。 由于被幸存者军队所占领，这片昔日维护世界和平之地已经被彻底武装成了军用哨卡。 不久之前，这里的守备力量才刚刚被清理干净，而抵达此处的UMP45在广场上看到了那个一直在无线电中指引她们的人类特工——

UMP45...Yo, have you been waiting here the whole time? Come to think of it, I've been wondering where you were all along. So you were waiting for us at the destination after all, hm?……哟，原来你早就在这里等着了？ 说的也是，我之前就在想你会在哪里了。 果然是在终点等着我们吗？

DimaIt's you...!居然是你……！

UMP45"It's you"? Got a problem? Sounds like you've got a bone to pick with me.是我？ 是我有什么不妥吗？ 听起来，你好像对我有什么意见一样。

Dima...No, that's not what I meant, Agent. What about the other agents? Are they not here yet? As I recall, you weren't operating alone.……不，我并没有那个意思，特工。 其他特工呢？还没到吗？我记得你并不是单独行动的吧。

UMP45I'm the only one here, and I'm going to be the only winner. ...You have the flare gun, right? Give it to me.这里只有我，而且赢家也只会有我。 ……信号枪在你手里吧，现在可以给我了。

UMP45 reaches out to Dima for the most important item in the game. With the flare gun, the game can enter its final stages. After that, all she has to do is get on the chopper and the winner will be decided. ...At least, that's how it's supposed to be.UMP45理所当然一般地伸出手去向对方索要这游戏最关键的道具。 只要拿到信号枪，游戏便可以进入最后的阶段，之后只要登上直升机，胜利的法则就已经确立。 ……理论上是这样的。

Just as 45 thinks Dima is going to hand her the flare gun, Dima suddenly takes a step back.当UMP45自然地认为蒂玛会交出信号枪时，对方却突然后退了一步。

UMP45... ...What a surprise. So even you are going to get between me and the prize money?…… ……真让我惊讶，连你也打算拦在我跟我的奖金前面吗？

DimaNo, that's not it. It's just... Um... It's a little dangerous to call for the evac chopper when you're fighting by yourself. We need more manpower to deal with any unexpected things that might come up.不，不是这样的，只不过…… 唔……在孤军奋战的情况下，呼叫救援直升机会有危险。 我们需要更多的战力来应对接下来可能存在的突发情况。

UMP45...Do we now?……是吗？

DimaYes... Once you call the evac chopper, unexpected things are sure to occur.是的……一旦呼叫了救援，肯定会有不可预料的事情发生。

UMP45How unexpected can they be? Are talking turtles are going to burst out of the sewers or something?不可预料的事情，还能怎么样，钻出来几只会说话的乌龟？

DimaI'm being serious...urgh!我是认真的……唔！

As Dima tries to talk UMP45 down, the latter trains the cold, dark and hollow muzzle of her gun at the NPC.在蒂玛还想继续劝阻的情况下，UMP45已将黑洞洞的枪口指向了她。

UMP45You don't sound like you're the least bit afraid of "unexpected things". The truth is, you know EXACTLY what's going to happen, don't you? Or do you simply not want to give me the gun?你看起来一点都不像是在害怕“不可预料的事情”的样子。 你很清楚会发生什么事？还是，你只是单纯的不想给我？

DimaA-Agent—！特，特工——！

UMP45I don't care which it is. A mere NPC has no right to tell me what to do.不论是哪一种，我都不关心。 我要怎么做事，还轮不到一个“NPC”来管教。

UMP45 snatches the flare gun and points it into the sky.UMP45一把夺过蒂玛手中的信号枪，然后高高举起。

There is a shrill screech, and a brilliant red light soars into the jet-black sky...在一阵尖锐的声响中，红色的强光飞上了漆黑的夜空……

DimaYou... What have you done?!你……你干了什么啊！

Almost at the same time, UMP45's vision distorts slightly.几乎在同一时间，UMP45的视觉信号中出现了轻微的干扰。

Helicopter Pilot—Evac chopper approaching.——回收直升机正在接近。

UMP45Well? Nothing much has happened. Simple enough, wasn't it?所以？也没发生什么大不了的事嘛。 这不是很简单吗？

DimaNo! This isn't like what I expected at all!不！这跟我预想的完全不一样！

ISACHigh-threat target detected.已侦测到高威胁性目标。

DimaAaaaahhhh they're here, we're doomed we're doomed we're doomed!啊啊啊他们来了，完了完了完了完了……！

UMP45Who are you babbling to? Would you mind shutting the hell up?你嘀嘀咕咕地在跟谁通话？ 能不能闭上你的嘴？

DimaI will not shut... Uwahhhh!我才不要闭……哇啊啊啊！

A black tide of rogue agents floods in, giving them not time to breathe. As both sides exchange heavy fire, UMP45 precisely and methodically eliminates all the targets approaching her. Meanwhile, Dima has been pinned inside the cover, but she still seems to be trying to contact somebody else.暗潮一般涌来的叛变特工并没有给她们任何喘息的机会。 在双方之间布满的密集火力网中，UMP45精准地消灭着试图靠近的目标。 而蒂玛却已被死死压制在了掩体内，但看样子仍锲而不舍地在尝试与人通讯。

DimaWe're doomed... It's over...完了……全都完了……

UMP45If this is what scares you, then you're pathetic. These peons can't even come close to hurting me as long as I have enough ammo in reserve. It'll be a piece of cake to hold out until the chopper arrives.如果这就是你害怕的原因，那也太没劲了。 只要弹药存储足够，这些虾兵蟹将根本伤不到我。 撑到直升机来很容易。

DimaYou don't understand! You don't know anything at all! If you fail here... It means all my previous work will be for nothing! ...Aaaahhhh! When can I get out of this goddamn place?!你根本不懂！你什么都不知道！ 在这里失败的话……就等于前功尽弃了！ ……啊啊！我什么时候才能离开这个鬼地方！

UMP45I don't know anything?我什么都不懂？

DimaThat's right! You don't know anything! These rogue agents aren't the scary part! It's—对！你什么都不懂！ 可怕的根本就不是这些叛变特工！是——

UMP45It's "Hellfire", right?是“地狱火”？对吗？

Dima...!！

UMP45Now that you mention it... I've been meaning to ask this for a while, but I haven't been able to find the opportunity. Miss Agent, don't you think your behavior is far too unsightly? And here I had some expectations of you.话说回来……从刚才开始我就想说了，只不过是没找到机会。 特工小姐，你的丑态是不是也太不值钱了？ 明明我还对你有点期待的呢。

DimaEr... W-what do you mean...呃……你，你说什么……

UMP45You're not an NPC at all. You're a player, like us.你根本不是NPC，你跟我们一样，都是玩家。

DimaI...! I don't understand what you're talking about—我……！ 我听不懂你在说什么——

Dima stands up in an attempt to run away, but then a shot whizzes past her ear. She gets the message and crouches back down immediately.想要逃离现场的蒂玛刚刚离开掩体，一发子弹便立刻贴着她的耳边擦过。 她一个激灵，又马上蹲了下来。

DimaAhhhh, I'm hit, I'm hit! I don't want to be stuck in this godforsaken place forever, somebody save me!啊啊啊，我中弹了！我中弹了！ 我不想永远呆在这种鬼地方，谁来救救我啊！

UMP45I really am impressed by your sheer nerve. Your masquerade is in tatters and you're STILL trying to carry on pretending?我还真佩服你的神经，撕破脸皮到这地步，居然还好意思装下去？

DimaEr...呃……

UMP45Of course, if that was it, I wouldn't care at all. It doesn't matter one bit to me whether you're a player or an NPC. That is until I noticed one teeny tiny detail...当然，如果只是这样的话我根本就不在乎。 你是玩家还是NPC，都跟我一点关系也无。 直到我注意到一些小细节~

DimaW-what detail?小，小细节？

UMP45If I'm not mistaken, you know me, don't you? Ever since we met, you've been acting very strangely. Compared to, oh, someone who was afraid of a dangerous stranger, it was more like you were afraid of ME. You're afraid of "UMP45".如果我没猜错的话，你应该认识我吧？ 打从我们见面开始，你的态度就很奇怪。 与其说是在警惕一个危险的陌生人，倒不如说，就是在怕我。 怕我“UMP45”。

DimaWhat are you talking about, why would I be scared of you for no reason at all?!你在说什——我为什么，无缘无故要，要怕你啊！

UMP45You've been stuck in the game all this time, haven't you?你是不是一直没能从这个游戏里逃出去？

DimaYe...huh? W-what do you mean?是……诶？ 你、你这话是什么意思？

UMP45Heehee.嘻嘻。

UMP45 chucks a gun turret over the cover. After successfully distracting the rogue agents, she shifts her attention back to Dima.UMP45朝掩体对面丢出了机枪塔，在成功吸引到叛变特工们的注意后，开始把注意力集中在蒂玛的身上。

UMP45Nervous, aren't you? Ja, you should be. If you're who I think you are, then you should know how I do things. This game is winner-takes-all, and I will be the winner. I don't care how I reach that outcome as long as I do. Therefore, right when the game began, I tried a special trick I used before in the past.紧张吗？紧张就对了。 如果是“你”就应该了解我的办事风格。 在这个游戏当中，只有最终赢家能获得一切，而那个赢家必须是我，只要能达成这个目的，过程如何并不重要。 所以，早在游戏最开始的时候，我就尝试过去使用一点非常手段。

DimaA special trick...非常手段……

UMP45(Grins) That's right, I gave myself a little access, enough to allow me to check the status of every player logged into this game. Do you know what I found? Out of the 24 players in the game, 19 of them were from Griffin. After adding my team, the total comes to only 23 people...呼~没错，一点小小的权限——我可以看到每一个登录这游戏的玩家的状态，然后你猜我发现了什么？ 在所有二十四名玩家当中，有十九位是来自格里芬的对手，再减去我的小队，一共也只有二十三人……

UMP45And as for the last player, perhaps they were careless, but they didn't hide their login information. And the place that player logged in from...surprisingly enough, it's very similar to a place I once visited~至于这最后一位嘛，但也许是粗心大意的原因，最重要的登录信息并没有被隐藏掉。 而那个连接地点……意外地和我去过的某个地方很相似呢~

Though surrounded by countless enemies, UMP45 runs through the information she has learned in a playful, mocking tone, then she points a finger at Dima.尽管面对众多敌人的围攻，UMP45还是调侃似地分析了她所掌握的情报，并把矛头指向了蒂玛。

DimaWhat! Why you! You actually found my server address?!什！！你这家伙！！居然查我的服务器地址！？

UMP45Quit pretending.别装了。

UMP45 snatches off Dima's gas mask.UMP45一把拽下了蒂玛的防毒面罩。

DimaAaaaaahhhh! What are you doing?! I'm dying I'm dying!呜哇哇哇哇！！你干什么啊！！ 要死要死！！

UMP45I have to say, seeing your performance was quite entertaining, and 416 hasn't even suspected it yet. Ah, I wonder what kind of amusing faces she and Gr G11 would make if I told them about this. To think Miss Dima, who has been pretending to be an NPC all along, is actually—不得不说看你表演真的很有趣，而且到现在为止连416都没有发现。 啊，如果现在告诉她和G11的话，说不定能看到非常精彩的表情呢，没想到一直假装NPC的蒂玛小姐原来是——

UMP45—Tsk, I didn't expect you to be the first one here. 416 must have gone to great lengths to shake you off.——啧，没想到居然是你先到。 416为了甩掉你肯定绕了不少路吧。

A gunshot interrupts UMP45's exposition. She looks toward the source of the sound and sees a short-haired Doll. It is Vector.一声枪响打断了UMP45的话语，随着声音看去，出现在视野内的人形竟是一头短发的Vector。

VectorYou're the other player, right? Sorry, but I need to win.你就是剩下的另一个玩家吗？ 对不起，但是我必须要拿到胜利才行。

UMP45No problem, no problem. That's how competitions are. There must be a loser if there is to be a winner. You, on the other hand, should have put that bullet into me instead.别介意别介意，比赛就是这样的，有赢家就会有输家。 倒是你，刚才那一枪应该要直接打在我身上才对。

VectorI have no grudge with you. I just want to settle this fair and square.我跟你没有仇怨，至少可以堂堂正正地决出胜负。

DimaDon't try to reason with her!别跟这种人讲道理啊！

Bangbangbang! Before Dima can finish, while Vector is distracted— UMP45's gun spews a tongue of flame!呯呯呯！ 蒂玛话音未落，趁着Vector分神之际。 UMP45手中的枪口忽然喷出了一串火舌！

Vector!！

Vector swiftly rolls into cover, and the gunshots stitch a line of small bullet holes into the tarmac.Vector迅速地侧滚受身转入掩体之中，枪线在残垣上留下了一串弹痕。

DimaHey! Have some class!喂！你这样太没品了吧！

UMP45Can it.少废话。

Rattle rattle rattle... A discordant note rings out amidst the lethal melody of gunfire. 45's wealth of battle experience beats her about the head and when she looks down, she sees a pair of grenades rolling to her feet.咕噜噜…… 枪鸣的致命节奏中骤然出现了不和谐的音调。 丰富的战地经验在45的警鸣钟上狠狠敲下一棍，她低头看去，只见两颗手雷打着旋就滑到了脚下。

UMP45Scheiße!该死！

She curses quietly, then leaps back like a frightened sparrow.低声咒骂了一句，UMP45有如受惊的飞雀一般迅速后撤。

BOOM!轰！！

DimaAaaaaaaahhhh!呜哇哇哇哇！！

UMP45I can't believe she could react under those circumstances... That's why I hate high-spec Dolls.那种情况都反应的过来……所以我才讨厌这些性能好的人形。

The shockwave from the explosion lifts 45's body off the ground and smashes her into a pile of rubble. She can see a huge chunk fall off her HP bar in an instant. She reflexively bounces back up like a spring, but then she freezes.爆炸的冲击将45的身体整个吹飞了出去，狠狠地砸在乱石堆上，HP肉眼可见地掉下了一大截。 她整个人像弹簧一般条件反射地跃了起来——却一下停滞住了。

UMP45Humph.哼。

VectorCheckmate.将军了。

As the dust from the explosion clears and UMP45 stumbles to her feet... The vacuous black muzzle of Vector's gun looms before her.当爆炸的尘烟散去，UMP45脚步踉跄地抬起头时。 Vector黑洞洞的枪口已经出现在她眼前。

UMP45Well, this is embarrassing... You'd better win, elite Doll.真丢脸……要赢啊，精英人形。

Bang!呯！

SystemX Tactical Doll Vector killed aaaa.x 战术人形Vector 击杀 aaaa

Dima...Is-is she dead?……死，死了吗？

VectorAre you alright, Miss Dima?蒂玛小姐，你没事吧。

Dima...I-I'm fine. Agent, weren't you pursuing 4...the other Agent?……我，我没事。 特工，你不是在追4……追赶另一位特工吗？

Vector...Unfortunately, she gave me the slip halfway. All I could do was come to the meetup point, which brought me to the recent development. Now that you mention it, I didn't know you looked like this, Miss Dima.……说来惭愧，我中途被她甩掉了。 只能先到集合点来，结果刚赶到就看到刚才的画面。 说起来，蒂玛小姐你原来长这个样子？

DimaEr, that... Ahem, that's not important. Thanks for the rescue.呃，这个……咳，那不重要。 谢谢你救了我。

VectorYou're welcome. It would seem victory is mine.不客气，这样一来，胜利就是我的了。

DimaHm?呃？

VectorAll that's left is...只剩下最后一……

Bang!呯——！

A gunshot rings out and a bullet ricochets off a stone wall, narrowly missing Vector.一声枪声响起，子弹擦破了岩壁的一角，只差毫厘就能击中Vector。

416Damn you! What have you done?! You stole my objective...and you killed my friend!可恶！你做了什么啊！ 居然敢抢走我的目标……而且还对我的同伴出手！

DimaYou know, when I think about how these two things are actually one and the same, I...一想到这两件其实是同一件事就……

VectorTsk! She's here!啧！来了吗！

DimaWait, wait, you two, stop fighting!等，所以都说你们两位不要再打了！

DimaWhoa—!哇——！

Vector has already thrown out a smoke grenade the moment she heard the gunshot. She then drags Dima behind cover.在枪声响起的刹那，Vector扔出了烟雾弹，随后拽着蒂玛从烟幕中躲进了另一个掩体内。

DimaL-listen to me!听，听我说一句——！

VectorTsk! Now quit struggling and die, Hellfire!啧！老实一点受死吧！地狱火！

416That emo name has nothing to do with me!那个中二的名字跟我一点关系都没有！

DimaSeriously, just listen to me!你们听人说话啦！！

Helicopter Pilot...Evac Chopper...Now...approaching.……回收直升机……正在……接近。

???Are you...ready?准备……好了吗？

???The last...battle...最后的……战斗……

416What are those voices?什么声音？

VectorThey're back...又来了……

DimaVoices? What voices?声音？什么声音？

VectorCan't you hear them? They're like a radio signal forcing a connection to me, echoing in my head and saying strange things.你听不到吗？就像强行连接的无线电一样，在耳朵里神秘兮兮地说话。

DimaStrange things? It-it's "them", it must be "them"!神秘兮兮地？ 是、是“她们”，一定是“她们”！

VectorWho?谁？

Dima(Groans) Your REAL enemies... "Hellfire" and "Fang."唔……就是你们真正的对手…… “地狱火”和“獠牙”。

Stage 5-1 1：10撤离点 主线终章 · 5-1

Helicopter PilotEvac chopper approaching. ETA 30 seconds...回收直升机正在接近。 还有30秒…

...In the Dark Zone.……暗区。

VectorHellfire and Fang? Are you talking about enemies in this game?地狱火和獠牙？你是说这个游戏的敌人吗？

DimaYou'll understand once they show up. I don't know how to explain it to you now...等她们出现你就明白了，现在说的话，我也不知道该怎么表达……

VectorAre you trying to spin a story at a time like this?这还卖什么关子？

DimaNo, I'm not trying to pull a fast one on you... I-I have difficulties that I can't explain!不是我想卖关子……我、我也有难言之隐啊！

Dima is having trouble fending off Vector's onslaught of questions, but the tension is soon broken by the beating of rotor blades—面对Vector的层层逼问，蒂玛有些难以招架，但这样紧张的气氛很快便被螺旋桨的转动声打破——

The evac chopper is now hovering above the extraction point.回收直升机已经抵达撤离点上空。

DimaThe chopper's here! Cease fire, Vector, the enemy's coming!直升机来了！ Vector，快点停火，敌人快要出现了！

VectorCease fire? As if I could do that! I won't share victory with the one who killed my teammates!停火？怎么可能？ 我才不会跟杀死我队友的人分享胜利！

DimaBut 416 isn't the one who killed your teammates! Ahhhhhh— Dammit!但是！杀掉你队友的人不是416啊！ 啊——可恶！

VectorWait, what are you doing?!等等，你做什么！？

Dima jumps out of cover and waves her arms in all directions, hoping her actions will inform 416 of her desire to cease hostilities.蒂玛跳出掩体朝四周挥动双手，希望将停火的意思传达给416。

DimaWhoaaa!呜哇！

416Gott verdammt ...What the hell is going on?见鬼……怎么回事？

Dima416!416！

416Dima... What are you doing here? Where's that crazy Doll?蒂玛……你为什么会在这里？ 那个疯子人形呢？

VectorMiss Dima!蒂玛小姐！

Vector pokes her head out from behind cover, her gun barrel pointed at 416. 416 is just as vigilant and levels her weapon at Vector as well.Vector从掩体中探出了身子，枪口直直地对准了416。 416也没有疏忽，同样将武器指向了Vector。

DimaYou guys... Stop fighting already... Please, I'm begging you... There's a more powerful boss around!你们，你们别打了…… 真的，算我求你们了。 还有更厉害的BOSS在啊！

416A boss?BOSS？

DimaYes, as I was trying to tell you, the person you met earlier... Actually, she's—对，就是我刚才说的，你们遇到的那个人。 其实是——

Boom— Dima's words are interrupted by a thunderous explosion that turns the rescue chopper into a massive fireball.轰—— 蒂玛话音未落，爆炸的轰鸣便在空中响起——前来救援的直升机瞬间化作一团巨大的火球。

VectorIs that...an anti-air missile?是……防空导弹？

The helicopter falls like a comet from the sky, trailing flames and smoke as it hits the plaza. The rotor blades are snapped off by the impact and the fuselage continues careening toward the three of them.就像自天际坠落的彗星一样，直升机拖动着滚滚浓烟撞击在了广场上。 在螺旋桨被全部甩断之后，直升机的机体仍然朝着三人这边滑行过来。

VectorWell, crap.糟了。

DimaAaaah! 4-416!呜哇——！ 4、416！！

416Shut up and RUN!废什么话，快躲开！

Vector dives aside as a wave of heat washes over her. 416 roughly kicks Dima into cover and uses the momentum of the reaction force to throw herself behind another obstacle in the other direction. Finally, the chopper grinds to a halt after hitting the main door of the UN Headquarters.迎上扑面而来的热浪，Vector立刻扑向了一旁。 416飞起一脚，将蒂玛踹进了掩体，自己也借着反作用力回避到了另外一侧。 最终，直升机撞上了联合国总部大楼正门后才算停止。

Boom— The second explosion radiates a dazzling light, and the blast generates a powerful rolling shockwave. By the time 416 and Vector open their bleary eyes and verify each others' position, they find that they have been surrounded by rogue agents.轰—— 二次的爆炸产生了炫目的强光，爆炸的余波卷起了强烈的气浪。 等HK416和Vecotr睁开被糊住的眼睛，确认彼此的位置时，却发现已经被周围的叛变特工团团包围。

ISACWarning, extreme threat detected! Warning...treme threat det...!警告，侦测到极其严重的威胁！ 警告，侦测到……严重的……！

The powerful signal disruption is even affecting ISAC. His repeated words of warning bring everyone's eyes to the crash site blazing in the cold darkness of the night, where a pair of figures emerge, much to both 416 and Vector's surprise—强烈的信号干扰让ISAC也受到了影响，在它的提示下，所有人的目光聚焦在了直升机那片冰冷的夜色与炽热的火光中，而那里出现了让HK416和Vector意想不到的人影——

They see "416" and "Vector" - a pair of Dolls who are the spitting image of themselves. "416" is holding a launcher of some sort in her raised left arm. It's plain to see that she was the one who shot down the chopper. Meanwhile, "Vector" stands behind her, a riot shield in hand and a cold gleam in her eye. To her, the original 416 and Vector seem to be nothing more than meat for the chopping block.“HK416”和“Vector”——容貌完全一致的两个人形出现在了本尊面前。 “HK416”高举的左手正握着一个发射器似的装置，显然刚才直升机的突然坠毁是由她一手制造的。 而端着防爆盾牌紧跟其后的“Vector”也显露着锐利的目光，似乎在她的眼中，本尊只是砧板上待宰的鱼肉。

416?...Found you at last.……找到你们了。

Vector?The time for cleansing is nigh. The souls of the sinful shall be redeemed.净化之时已至，罪人的灵魂将要得到救赎。

416Huh? What the hell is the meaning of this? Are you kidding me, I don't recall ever authorizing such a shoddy copy of myself to be made.哈……那是什么鬼？ 开什么玩笑，我可不记得有授权过这种劣质的复制品。

VectorAre they different Dolls of the same model...? Her parts seem to be different from mine.是同型号的其他人形吗……？ 看起来跟我用的零件好像不太一样。

DimaI told you, these guys are your enemies... Hellfire Vector and Fang 416!我早说过了，这就是你们的对手……地狱火Vector和獠牙416！

416I didn't expect you to still be alive, Hellfire!没想到真的还活着啊，地狱火！

Vector...Hellfire?……地狱火？

416That Doll who looks like you is the Hellfire you're looking for.那边那个长得跟你一样的人形，她才是你要找的地狱火。

VectorSo you weren't the one who killed R93 and K5...? What kind of trickery is this, Miss Dima?之前杀死R93和K5的人形不是你……？ 你到底在搞什么鬼，蒂玛小姐？

DimaIt's not a trick! I was trying to make up for a mistake! Frankly speaking, if it wasn't because of game compatibility issues, I wouldn't have used your AIs, maybe a GraySkullmon would have been better...不是想搞鬼，而是补救失败！ 说真的，如果不是因为游戏兼容性的问题，我也不会导入你们的AI，或者丧尸暴龙兽还更好用点些呢……

VectorGame compatibility? Using our AIs? What are you talking about?游戏兼容性？导入AI？ 你在说什么东西？

416GraySkullmon...hehe, hahahaha!丧尸暴龙兽……呵呵，呵呵呵呵！

DimaEr... Cut out that creepy laugh, would you?呃——你别笑得那么吓人好不好？

416I see, I think I understand. I get it now! This way of talking, as well as this extensive knowledge of classic animated series... That reminds me of no one other than Gr G11... UNLESS— Sounds like you've been having fun, Dier.原来如此……我逐渐理解了。 我已经完全搞懂了！ 这种说话的风格，还对上个世纪的古董动画片如数家珍。 除了G11之外，这世界上绝对找不到第二个人，除了—— 德尔，你玩得很开心嘛。

Dima... Urgh! No, I'm not-!…… 呃！不、不是！

416Not going to admit it? Alright then, I'll liquidate you now, then I'll pay you a visit in person and...不承认是吧？那好，我现在就把你给解决掉，然后待会亲自去你家……

Dier?N-no, please don't! ...Fine, fine, I admit it! It's me!千、千万别过来！ ……好啦好啦我承认了！就是我！

VectorWhile I'm not too sure what exactly is going on... The two of you seem to know each other.虽然我还没搞明白全部的事情。 但是看起来你们好像认识。

VectorAnd it would seem Miss Dima...no, Miss Dier is the culprit behind all this?而且，蒂玛……不，德尔小姐才是一切的主谋？

416He's a guy.他是男的。

VectorUnforgivable.不可原谅。

Dier?Well, er, about this...呃，关于这件事嘛……

FangLadies? Are you done chatting yet? If you are, would you mind giving us a bit of screen time?几位？你们聊完了吗？ 聊完了的话，能不能稍微留给我们一点点戏份呢？

HellfireThe fires of purification...shall burn away all your sins.净蚀之火……终将焚烧汝等的罪孽。

Dier?Ahhhh! I, I promise I'll tell the truth, but could you please get rid of them first?!哇——！ 我、我之后会说实话的，但能不能先把她们干掉啊！？

416...Tsk, you're pathetic.……嘁，真没出息！

Countless rogue agents begin gathering behind the grinning Fang. Meanwhile, Hellfire raises her gun eagerly like a predator thirsting for blood.在笑盈盈的獠牙身后，数不清的叛变特工开始层层聚拢。 而仿佛捕食者一般的地狱火更是迫不及待地端起了枪。

FangYou've been naughty, Miss Dima. So you recruited a couple of thieving cats to help you out. Didn't I tell you before that I was all you need?真是不乖……蒂玛小姐，居然找了两只偷腥猫。 我不是说过，您只要有我一个就够了吗？

Bangbangbang— A hail of gunfire threatens to pulverize the trio's cover into dust. If this were the real world, they would have been full of holes by now.呯呯呯—— 倾泻而来的枪火几乎要将三人的掩体击碎，如果这里是现实世界，那么她们都早已被打成了马蜂窝。

416(Gags and chokes)呕……呕呕！

Vector...What's the matter with you?……你怎么了？

416...Nothing. I just got grossed out by how she spewed such nonsense using my face.……没什么。 看着那张脸说那种话，被恶心得够呛而已。

After shooting "Dier", who has practically curled up into a ball, another dirty look, 416 turns her attention to Vector. They've been enemies until now, but after exchanging a glance, they nod to each other in silent accord.看着几乎要缩成一团的“德尔”，HK416又瞥了一眼Vector。 尽管此前一直处于敌对状态，但在交换了眼神之后，两人很有默契地点了点头。

416You'd best prepare yourself, Dier. If you don't give us a satisfactory explanation...你最好提前做准备，德尔，如果不能给出让我们满意的解释……

VectorI'll make you regret you were ever born.我就让你后悔来到这个世上。

Dier gulps as 416 and Vector both shoot him death glares.面对来自HK416和Vector的双重威胁，“德尔”吞了吞口水。

Dier?Uh, h-here are my ammo pouch and my medical bag, p-please help yourselves. Also...make sure you win!这、这里是我的弹药和医疗包，请、请笑纳。 还有，一定要赢啊！

Stage 5-2 1：10撤离点 主线终章 · 5-2

... The cold wind and snow cannot freeze the blazing remains of the helicopter wreckage, but the battle at the UN Plaza has come to an end.…… 凛冽的风雪没能冻结燃烧着直升机的火焰，但联合国广场上的战斗却已迎来了尾声。

FangUgh—! It shouldn't... It shouldn't be like this!唔——！ 不应该……是这样的！

HellfireIs this...my salvation?这就是……我的救赎……吗？

416Whew... Those guys were tough. Still, it's over now.呼……还真是难缠的家伙。 不过总算结束了。

VectorR93, K5, PP-90...R93，K5，PP90……

With "416" and "Vector" collapsed on the ground, the last of the enemy have been wiped out. Their opponents allow themselves to relax at last. They are about to exchange looks of mutual approval amidst the firelight when "Dier" ruins the mood.“HK416”与“Vector”的倒地代表着最终的敌人也被消灭了，与之相对的两人也总算放松下来。 她们原本可以在火光之中交换相互认可的眼神，但此时破坏气氛的聒噪却从原本一直端着的“德尔”那里传来。

Dier?Yaaay—! You won! At long last, you won!耶——！赢了！总算总算总算总——算赢了啊！

416... That chap over there seems very happy.…… 那边那个家伙好像很高兴啊。

Vector...That reminds me, I need to take care of some unfinished business.……不过倒是提醒了我事情还没完。

Dier?(Chokes and coughs) S-sorry about that, I just got too excited... Wait a minute, why are you pointing your gun at me?!嘎——啊，咳咳咳！ 不、不好意思，那个什么，是我太兴奋了……等等，干嘛又拿枪瞄我！？

416Don't forget, we've still got a score of our own to settle.别忘了，咱们还有笔账要算呢。

Dier?Huh? D-do we?哎，有、有吗？

416Still going to play dumb?还想继续装傻吗？

VectorI get it. You're the kind who doesn't realize how badly they've screwed up until it's rubbed into their face, right?我懂了，你就是那种“不见棺材不落泪”的人吧？

VectorIn that case...既然如此……

Dier?Okay! I'll talk! I'll talk!我坦白！我坦白！

416Should have done that from the start.早这样不就完了。

Dier?Er, actually... At first, I didn't expect things to end up like this. It was a winter afternoon, a peaceful, quiet time as always...呃，其实……其实最开始我也没想到会变成这个样子。 那是一个冬天的下午，一如往常宁静的时光……

416Get to the point!给我好好说话！

Dier?Owie!哎哟！

Several days ago, inside "The Division"...几天前，《全境封锁》游戏内……

Agent 416Enemies eliminated.敌人已消灭。

DierA-amazing! Playing this game solo is hard, but now it's like I've got god mode activated! I have to say, Dolls are amazing... To think I could use my secret backups of their neural clouds here. All I need to do is to make some slight adjustments to the game data and I can turn them into ally characters. This is great!好、好厉害！ 本来这游戏一个人玩还挺难的，现在反而如有神助！ 应该说真不愧是人形吗……以前偷偷备份的心智还能在这里派上用场，只要稍微修改一下游戏数据就能把她们变成同伴角色，真是太棒了！

Agent 416What are you giggling about? Call the chopper already!偷偷乐个什么劲呢，还不快点呼叫撤离！？

Dier...Still, I didn't expect her personality to be duplicated as well. If only 416 were a little nicer. (Sighs) I actually had a copy of Gr G11's neural cloud as well, but who'd have thought she'd freeze to death right after I uploaded her to the game... Hm, that was an accident, I guess?……但也没想到连性格也一并保留了，要是416的脾气再柔和一些该多好啊。 唉，本来也把G11的心智录入进来了，但没想到上来就给冻死……唔，大概是意外吧？

DierMight as well tweak her data. How about making her stronger?干脆下一局调整她的参数，变得更强一点吧？

Helicopter PilotEvac chopper approaching.回收直升机正在接近。

ISACWarning, high-threat targets detected.警告，已侦测到高威胁性目标。

DierHere it comes, here it comes! Now that I've got a Doll to help me out, let's see what you can do to me, ahahahaha—来了来了，这次找来人形帮忙，看你们还能把我怎么样，啊哈哈哈哈——

SystemX Dima was killed by an NPC. All players have been killed. The game will restart in 30 seconds...x 蒂玛被一名NPC杀死。 玩家已全部阵亡，游戏将在三十秒后重新开始……

DierEeeehhhhhhhh?!咦咦咦咦咦咦！？

Agent 416Dier, what the hell are you doing?!德尔，你在搞什么鬼！？

DierI...I just...!我……我只是……！

Agent 416You just what? You can skip the explanation if all you're going to do is make excuses for how much you suck.只是？如果你只是打算解释自己有多菜就不要浪费那点口水了。

DierT-that's not true, I only died because that rogue agent ambushed me...才、才不是，都怪那个叛变特工搞突然袭击我才……

Agent 416Here we go again, Dier's favorite - pushing the blame to someone else.出现了，德尔最喜欢的甩锅绝技。

DierGrrr...!咕……！

Agent 416Instead of quibbling here all day, why don't you just log off and play something more suited to a noob like you?比起在这里狡辩，不如尽早下线去玩点过家家之类的游戏怎么样？！

DierY-you're just an AI replica! Where do you get off dissing me like that?!区、区区一个复制的AI竟然如此毒舌！

Agent 416You just suck. Either get good or get lost.菜就是菜，不爽不要玩。

Dier(Sniffles)呜……

Agent 416Now what?干什么？

Agent 416Are you going to cry?想哭鼻子了？

DierI'm not crying!我才没哭呢！

SystemLogged off.已离线。

DierDammit, why did I have to take that crap from a copy of 416's AI while playing a game...? Did she preserve her personality data because she knew I'd use her neural cloud for something like this?真可恶，玩个游戏还要被416的AI复制品毒舌…… 难道她知道我会拿来玩游戏所以保留了个性数据？

DierHm, in any case, let's try adjusting 416's personality data. To begin with, I'll make her kinder...唔，总之先试着把416个性这部分的参数调整一下，起码变得温柔一点……

DierLike this... And like this... Yep, looks like it's gonna work! Hehe, no matter how sharp your tongue is, it's useless against the power of program editing! 416, don't look down on the technical skills of this genius human engineer! Game start!这样……然后这样……嗯，好像行得通！ 嘿嘿，就算你嘴巴再厉害，不还是没办法阻挡我修改参数嘛！ 可不要小看了天才人类后勤官的技术力啊，416！ 游戏启动！

SystemWarning, data not compatible.警告，参数不兼容。

DierEhhh?! What's wrong? Game start!诶！？怎么回事？ 游戏启动！

SystemWarning, data not compatible.警告，参数不兼容。

DierWhy isn't it compatible? Don't tell me the system can't accept a kind and gentle 416?! Game start!为什么会不兼容啊！？个性温柔的416就连系统都难以接受吗！？ 游戏启动！

SystemWarning...警告……

DierShut up, now take this!少废话，看招！

Dier seems to have forgotten all about his self-proclaimed technical genius and bashes the neural cloud adjustment terminal with a wrench.德尔似乎忘记刚才对自己的称赞，挥动着扳手把心智调整终端用力地敲打了一番。

SystemWarning, hardware malfunction, initiating emergency safe mode.警告，硬件故障，启动紧急安全模式。

DierOh crap crap crap... Whoa!哎呀糟糕……哇！

Upon realizing something is wrong, Dier reaches out to cut the backup power, but a voice that sounds like 416 is talking through the VR helmet—发现情况不对的德尔伸手想要关掉设备电源，但早就佩戴在头上的虚拟头盔里却传来了疑似HK416的声音——

Agent 416The data flow...is in disarray? Could this be some kind of virus attack?! No, this feels...这是……数据流紊乱？难道是病毒攻击！？ 不对，这种感觉是……

DierWait a minute, what's wrong with you, 416?等等，416你怎么了？

Agent 416It was a cold winter day...an abandoned city and an armed unit... Who...who am I? Am I...part of the Last Man Battalion?寒冷的冬天……被抛弃的城市和武装部队…… 谁……我是谁？ 我是……幸存者？

DierThe Last Man Battalion? D-don't tell me 416's neural cloud has merged with the game data? Oh no, I need to hurry and...ahhhh—!幸存者？难、难道416的心智被融合进了游戏里？ 糟了，必须赶快……啊——！

A terrifying notion dawns on Dier, but he is powerless to stop anything from happening— As a sudden electrical current sweeps away his consciousness, everything is calm again...一种可怕的想法涌上了德尔的心头，但他没有办法采取什么行动来阻止这一切的发生—— 突如其来的电流带走了他的意识后，一切又恢复到了平静……

DierSo in the end, the terminal activated safe mode, I couldn't log off normally, and I got stuck in the game. From past experience, if I tried to forcibly break the connection, I'd end up losing years of game files! And the worst part is, the neural cloud data I entered into the game was rewritten for some reason. As you can see, 416 became "Fang" from the Last Man Battalion. She was the main reason why safe mode kept running. In order to turn off safe mode, I'd have to beat the game and lure her out to defeat her, but...trying to beat the game by myself was way too hard! A couple of days ago, I found a way to send a message to the outside world and got two Dolls to help me out while I pretended to be an NPC to guide them, but Fang, who had inherited 416's combat data, was way too strong, and they just weren't enough...结果嘛，就是我被困在了游戏里，因为终端启动了安全模式的缘故，我没办法通过正常手段下线。 从以往发生过的案例来看，如果强制断开的话，我这么多年的游戏存档可就全没了！ 诡异的是，我录入的心智数据不知为何就被改写了。 就像你们看到的那样，416变成了幸存者军队阵营的“獠牙”。 她是安全模式持续运行的主因，想关闭安全模式就必须得通关游戏，然后把她吸引出来消灭掉，但是……一个人通关游戏实在是太难了！ 我前两天想方设法才向外界发送信息，吸引了两个人形来帮我玩，我则扮演NPC指引她们，但继承了416战斗数据的獠牙太强了，这点力量完全不够……

DierW-why are you looking at me like that?你、你这是什么眼神？

416Who gave you permission to mess around with my neural cloud backups?!谁允许你拿我的备份心智胡闹了！

DierUwah! I'm against violence! No violence allowed!哇！禁止暴力！禁止暴力！

VectorI think I understand what's going on now, but why was my AI in the game too? Did you hack into our main server?事情我大概明白了，但为什么我的AI也在游戏里？ 难道你黑入了我们的总服务器？

DierOh, no! It's just that a lot of players suddenly joined and I noticed your exceptional performance so I secretly copied your data and made "Agent Vector". But I didn't expect Fang to be like a trojan; she absorbed Agent Vector and turned her into Hellfire of the Cleaners. In other words, now I have to take out the two of them to leave the game...啊，不是的！ 因为后来突然来玩的人形变多了，而这里面Vector的表现一直很出众，我就偷偷地复制了她的数据创造了“特工Vector”。 但谁知道獠牙那个家伙就像“木马”一样，把特工Vector也吸纳成了净化者阵营的地狱火。 也就是说，我要想离开游戏就必须得消灭这两个敌人才行……

Vector...Unforgivable.……不可原谅。

DierWait, I'm actually an admin in the game, if you kill me, the game will restart!等等，我在游戏里其实是“管理员”的身份，如果把我干掉的话，游戏又要重新开局了！

416You know, if you had just come out and told us this earlier, it would have saved us all that troublesome crap!我该说你什么好，早点出来解释清楚，就没有后面这么多烦心事了不是吗！？

DierBut if I told you earlier, you'd know I was posing as a girl online, right?!早点说，不就被人知道我在玩女号了吗！？

416...Is that really something worth worrying about?!……这是值得在意的东西吗！？

DierOf course it is! I'm coming clean here because only the two of you know! So please, don't tell anyone else no matter what!当然了！之所以现在坦白，也是因为只有你们两个知道，所以拜托了，不论如何也不要告诉第三个人了！

416What should we do?该怎么办呢？

VectorI don't care. I don't even know you anyway.我无所谓，反正我也根本不认识你。

DierPlease help me keep it secret! If I get any new parts, I'll give them to you at a 20... no, 50% discount!帮我保守秘密！下次我搞到最新的配件八折……五折装给你！

416Now why didn't you say so earlier? Fine, it's not like I'm into gossiping about your crossdressing fetish anyway.早点这样不就没事了吗？ 好吧，反正我也没兴趣跟人聊女装变态的故事。

DierTh-thank you very much—!非，非常感谢——！

... In Griffin HQ.…… 格里芬本部。

The room is dead silent. Pfffft. Nobody knows who started it, but like ripples from a drop of water, laughter begins to spread through the room.现场，陷入了死一般的寂静之中。 噗呲。 不知道是由谁率先开始的，但就仿佛滴在水面上的波纹一般，笑声开始迅速扩散。

Siscon Doll APffffhahahaha... Big Sis Gr G36, look at that NPC, he's a total perv.噗……哈哈，G36姐姐，你看那个NPC，他好像个变态喔。

Kitchen Verboten Doll BThat...that's disgusting! Who'd want to work with this crossdressing otaku brat anyway?!恶，恶心死了！ 谁会跟这种有女装癖的宅男小鬼合作啊！

Shark That Can't Swim Doll CHahahahaha! Oh this is hilarious! Hey, VHS! Did you see that?哈哈哈哈哈哈哈！笑死我了！ 喂！VHS！你看到了没有！

Unhappy Doll D...Heh.……呵。

CommanderWhile I don't know who you are... I believe you have lost something very precious, Mr. Dier.虽然不知道你是哪位……不过，我想大概你已经失去了很珍贵的东西了，德尔先生。

... Inside 404's lair.…… 404的巢穴内。

UMP9Holy crap, seriously?! So it was actually Dier?!呜哇！真的假的！居然是德尔吗！

Gr G11(Groans) Seriously, it's kind of gross.呜欸……讲真的，有点恶欸。

Pomf!嘭！

UMP9Huh? 45! Where are you going in such a hurry? Hey! 45! Don't just take the folding chair! Your gun! Your gun's here!欸？45姐！你走那么急要去哪里啊？ 喂——45姐！你别光拿折凳啊！枪！枪在这里！

... Inside the game, in the Dark Zone.…… 游戏内，暗区。

416Don't act like everything's over! We're not finished yet! We may have sorted everything out and cleaned up your mess, but I'm not going to let you off this easily even if I do get the prize money!别一副事情都结束了的样子！我们还没完呢！ 幺蛾子也整了，屁股也擦了，就算是奖金到手我也不能那么简单地放过你！

DierHuh? Prize money? What prize money?唔啊！奖金？什么奖金？

VectorWhat prize money...? It's the reward for winning this officially-sponsored tournament. Aren't you playing to get it?什么奖金……就是这次游戏的官方举办的竞技比赛，难道你不是为了这个才来玩的吗？

DierI just started playing the game because I liked it, but I haven't heard anything about a tournament or reward...?我只是因为喜欢这个游戏才来玩的，但从来没听说过有什么奖金活动啊？

416 looks back and sees Vector, who's as stunned as she is. She takes a deep breath before pressing her gun muzzle into Dier's forehead and driving him backward until he's pressed against the chain link fence.HK416回头看了一眼同样震惊的Vector，接着深吸了一口气，再次端起枪顶着德尔的脑门向前推，直到他的身体撞在了铁丝防护网上。

DierW-wait! Please give me a chance!等、等一下！请再给我一次机会！

416My patience has run dry!我已经没什么耐心了！

DierWait, wait, I know! I'll give you a big discount on your repairs next time! This is premium treatment that no other Doll gets to enjoy!对了对了！下次的维修费我给你最大的优惠，这可是所有人形都没享受到的究极待遇哦！

DierI'll give you a 2—no, 3—no, 10... Alright, a 70% discount!!九八折——九七——九折——三折啦！！

—Morning, in the Griffin command room.——格里芬指挥室，早上。

CommanderMorning. You're in a good mood today, aren't you?早。 你今天精神状态不错嘛？

KalinaThat's because yesterday's event was a great success!因为昨天举办的活动太成功了！

CommanderAh, I truly didn't expect that... To think a nonexistent tournament could spark a successful event.啊，这个活动是真的没想到…… 一场根本不存在的活动促成了另一场成功的活动什么的。

KalinaAhaha, I checked in on Vector when I was passing by the dorms just now. She seems to be taking the whole thing pretty hard.啊哈哈，刚才我路过宿舍的时候大家还在探望Vector，好像因为这件事挺受打击的。

CommanderYeah, nobody could have expected this to happen. I'll go console her in a bit.嗯，这件事谁都没想到，不过我之后会好好安慰她的。

KalinaBut the good news is, I made an absolute mint! Commander, should we organize things like this more often?但值得高兴的是我这边赚了个盆满钵满！ 指挥官，以后还是经常举办这种比赛吧？

CommanderWell, even if Miss Helian approves, the Dolls don't have that much money to spend on this.这个，就算赫丽安小姐不反对，人形们也没那么多钱可以花在这上面的。

KalinaAw, that's a shame.哎，那真是可惜。

CommanderThat's not the only thing you have to report, right?你今天不会只有这件事要汇报吧？

KalinaOh, right. I received an anonymous apology letter today.啊，对了对了。 我今天收到了一封匿名的道歉信来着。

CommanderAn anonymous apology letter? Sync it over to my terminal.道歉信还匿名？ 同步到这边的终端上吧。

KalinaOkay!好的！

... Message forwarded. Extracting... ...…… 邮件信息已同步，正在读取中…… ……

LETTER OF APOLOGY To everyone in Griffin. A certain someone ended up causing a huge fiasco which greatly inconvenienced everyone in Griffin due to my negligence in disciplining him. I humbly apologize on behalf of that moron. This letter includes a token of our sincerity. Please accept it. I hope you can all find it in yourselves to forgive his mistakes. Thank you!致歉信 To格里芬的各位 由于在下管束不严，让某个家伙惹闹出了大乱子，给格里芬的各位添麻烦了，我代表那个笨蛋向各位致以深深的歉意。 随信附赠一份心意作为礼物，请务必收下。 希望各位大人不记小人过，原谅他的错误。 谢谢！

Commander...And you say you have no idea where the email came from?这……完全查不到邮件的来源吗？

KalinaNope, couldn't find anything. Still, the style of this letter reminds me of 404... But I guess I'm imagining things, huh?是的，查不到。 不过这邮件的风格让我想起了404……大概是我的错觉吧？

CommanderThey asked us to accept their apology, but what losses did we actually take yesterday?不过要说接受道歉，我们昨天有什么损失吗？

KalinaNone at all. Rather, everyone had lots of fun playing the game! And most Importantly, thanks to the huge sum we earned this time round, we've made up for all the red in our ledgers!没有啊，不如说这次大家都玩得很开心！ 最最重要的是，因为这次大赚一笔，之前苦恼的财政赤字已经完全补上了！

... In the Griffin base.…… 格里芬基地。

BroadcastSign-ups for "The Division" Group Tournament are live! Places are limited, so join fast—!《全境封锁》团体对抗赛报名火热进行中——！

As VSK-94 steps into the corridor, she is suddenly body-blocked by three Dolls.行进在走廊间的VSK94，被突如其来的三位人形拦在了道中。

AK-47Hey...think that's real?喂喂……真的还是假的？

A-91Looks like the real deal... Tut tut tut.看着像真货啊……啧啧啧。

SKSHm, it's not just the clothes... Look at her face. That face. Isn't it super familiar?嗯，不光是衣服……看表情，就是那个表情，是不是超熟悉的？

VSK-94...Excuse me, seniors? May I know what you're talking about?……三位前辈？ 你们在议论什么？

AK-47Whoa! She's alive!喔！还是活的！

VSK-94Huh?？

SKSHow drunk are you, anyway? Of course she's alive, did you think someone else moved her here?你喝多了？不是活的难道她是被人搬到这里来的吗？

AK-47Wait a minute, I wanna follow this line of questioning. Are Dolls really alive?等等，我想追根溯源地讨论这个问题，人形真的算是活着的吗！

VSK-94...Um, if you'll excuse me.……对不起，我要走了。

A-91Hey wait wait wait! Don't go so soon, rookie... Come, we want to get to know you a little better...等等等一下！ 新人，别急着走嘛……来稍微跟我们亲热一下呗。

VSK-94I remember you. You must be Miss A-91, if I'm not mistaken. I'm not opposed to joining your conversation... But it seems you simply wish to make fun of me.我记得您，您是A91前辈吧。 如果有什么要说的，我并不是不愿奉陪。 但看起来三位只是打算取笑我而已。

AK-47No no no, we're not making fun of you. Rather, we have a great deal of respect for you! Sort of.不不不，才没有取笑你，不如说我们还有点尊敬你呢！

A-91Da, da.对对对。

VSK-94...I don't get it. Why do you say that?……我一个字都没听懂。 这又从何说起？

SKSNow where should we begin...该从哪里说起呢……

AK-47Ahaha, I won't beat around the bush, then, rookie. You used to be a gop, right?哈哈，就不兜圈子了，新人。 你是不是干过条子啊？

VSK-94A what?干过什么？

SKSA COP! A police officer! Ignore her, she's as drunk as a skunk.警官！是警官！ 你别理她，她喝大了，神智不清楚。

VSK-94...Da, I used to serve with the police, and for a long time too. What about it?……我以前的确是警务人形，而且服役了很长一段时间。 这又怎么了吗？

A-91Hah! Well, not to toot our own horn, but whenever we go out on missions, we almost always end up getting the cops... I mean, police up our asses.哈！可不是咱自夸，我们出门执行任务的时候，十次有七八次都得惹上条……警察。

AK-47Da! Thassright! Never thought there'd be a day when we'd have a gop...uh, a cop as a colleague. So we got a man on the inside now, right? No need to fear those cops... I mean, police anymore!嗯！没错没错！根本想不到居然有一天咱们也能跟条……警察当同事啊！ 这下是不是就有靠山了？再也不用怕那些条……警察了！

SKSHehe... We'll show them the next time we meet.哼哼……下次见面，绝对要给他们好看。

VSK-94I returned my badge before I came here. What I'm wearing now is just a memento. I no longer have any legal authority. In addition, your reasons for being pursued and arrested are rather apparent as it is. Have you considered that you might have brought it upon yourselves?在来这里之前，我的警徽就已经归还了，现在身上留着的是纪念品。 并没有实际的执法权。 况且，对于你们被追捕的理由，我已经相当有眉目了。 难道不是自作自受吗？

AK-47Haha, you got it! Man, is my face red! Aw, forget it! Come come come, have a drink or two with us!哈哈，完全被说中了欸！真没面子啊。 算啦！走走走，跟我们一块去喝两杯吧！

VSK-94I am currently on duty. Also, forgive my bluntness, but I do not wish to drink with you.现在还是执勤时间。 而且，恕我无礼，我不太想和几位前辈喝酒。

A-91Ehhhh? But why?! Give us a reason! We won't let you go until you make it convincing!欸！为什么！给我说个理由来！ 不说出个一二三我们可不会放过你喔！

VSK-94Would you like me to go by chronological or alphabetical order?您希望我按时间顺序还是字母顺序说呢？

SKSAhhhh, just come with us! The Commander should have told you that you need to get along with your colleagues, right? This is just being polite, podruga!走吧走吧！指挥官应该也跟你说过，要好好跟同事相处吧？ 这是应酬，应酬！

VSK-94Why do Dolls still have to comply with the rules of corporate politeness...? Wait, please don't drag me along, I can walk on my own.为什么人形还需要应酬……等等，请不要拽我，我自己会走。

A-91Oi~ Are you looking down on your seniors? You stick-in-the-mud... (hic) Now drink!喂~你是不是看不起我们这些前辈啊？你这个老古董……嗝，快点喝！

VSK-94I'm sorry... Normally, I don't have a problem with drinking. But after seeing the three of you, I have decided to steer clear of alcohol.抱歉……如果是平常倒是没关系。 但看到三位前辈的样子，我已经决定要戒酒了。

SKSHumph... Look at you, you're totally sloshed and you still have the cheek to tell others to drink. You've disgraced Squad Vodka!哼……醉成那个样子还好意思劝别人的酒，我们伏特加小队的脸都被你丢光了！

A-91WHAT? Didn't I say we were Squad Oolong Tea? Don't go around changing things as you like.哈？我不是说过要叫乌龙茶小队了吗？不要乱改啊你。

SKSIt sounds horrible. What's so good about oolong tea anyway?!难听死了，而且乌龙茶有什么好喝的！

A-91VODKA tastes awful!伏特加才没什么好喝的吧！

SKSPut that vodka bottle down before you say that!说这话之前先把你手里的酒瓶给我放下！

VSK-94Also, the two names are nothing alike.而且两个名字都不怎么像样。

AK-47(Hic) Quit fighting. Say, you heard about "it"?嗝……别吵了。 我说，听说了吗？

SKSYou mean "that"? Everyone in Griffin knows about "that"!你是说那件事吧？ 现在格里芬没人不知道吧！

A-91Oh? So the two of you noticed too?喔？你们也注意到了吗？

AK-47Da. What do you think?没错，你们怎么想？

A-91You're talking about how all the vodka in the base tastes like it's been watered down lately, right? I noticed that long ago.是说最近的酒味道都淡出鸟来的事吧？ 我早就发现了。

SKSWho the hell's talking about that, dumbass?怎么可能是在说这个，你白痴啊。

AK-47Well, it's kinda relevant. Didn't A-91 get drunk and cause a big hoo-ha some time back? You know, during that pajama party.多少也有点关系吧。 之前不是A91喝醉了之后稍微有点闹过头了吗？ 就睡衣派对的那次。

A-91Nope, don't remember~那种事情我不记得啦~

AK-47(Hic) Yeah, after that, the Commander docked our drinks allowance. Now we can only buy this crappy booze. Of course it tastes watered down.嗝，那次之后，指挥官就克扣了我们的饮料补贴。 搞得现在都只能买这种劣质酒，当然会觉得淡啊。

SKSAhhh, money, money would be nice. Oh... I see now. That's why you brought it up. You want that prize money, right?钱啊，好想要钱啊。 喔……我明白了，所以才提到这个啊。 你想要那笔奖金？

AK-47Sounds great, right? It's ten million, y'know?不觉得很诱人吗？ 奖金可是有一千万喔？

A-91Ten million...一千万啊……

AK-47Ten million, think about it. How many bottles of high-end vodka would that buy?一千万，想想看，换成高级伏特加得有多少瓶？

SKS...Guh.……咕。

AK-47What'll it be? You in or you out?怎么样？干不干？

A-91Vodka... My vodka...! I'm in!伏特加……我的伏特加……！ 干了！

SKSAlright! Count me in too!好吧！算我一个！

The dorm was noisy before, but suddenly it's gotten even worse.原本就十分吵闹的宿舍内，忽然就变得更加扰人了起来。

VSK-94... ...They won't be able to win if they're THIS drunk, right?…… ……喝成这个样子，应该没办法赢吧？

AK-47Newbie! You're coming too! Don't think you can get away!新人！你也要来！ 别以为自己可以落跑喔！

VSK-94...You're roping me in as well?……要算上我吗？

SKSOf course! You want to drink too, right?当然！你也想喝酒的吧！

VSK-94Frankly speaking, I'm not really interested.老实说并没有什么兴趣。

AK-47Aw, don't be like that.哎呀，别这么说嘛。

AK-47 suddenly throws her arms around VSK-94's shoulders.AK47一下揽住了VSK的脖子。

AK-47Think about it! This is a group activity, we don't get those often, you know? And look at you, you're so full of potential, don't you want the Commander to see how great you are?想想看！这可算是难得的集体活动喔？ 难得你这么有潜力，难道不想让指挥官也看看你的厉害之处吗？

VSK-94I...这……

AK-47Besides, you don't want the others to think you're distant, do you? This is a rare chance for you to get to know the other Dolls while playing a game, you know?再说了，你也不想让大家觉得你不好亲近吧？ 难得有游戏可以玩，这可是认识一下除我们之外的人形的好机会哦？

VSK-94That actually sounds quite compelling.这句话还真有吸引力。

AK-47That's it, then! Let's go, girls!那就这么说定啦！ 我们走吧！

A-91Woohoo—!喔——！

SKSVodka, vodka, here I come—!伏特加——我来了——！

VSK-94(Sighs) I'm already starting to regret this...……唉。 我已经开始后悔了……

43-B-2 AK47小队支线2

... On Sixth Avenue. After losing VSK-94, AK-47 leads the remainder of her squad onward, but due to "circumstances beyond our control", the formerly motivated squad's fighting strength has been cut in half.…… 六大道。 失去VSK-94之后，AK47带着剩下的小队继续前进，然而由于“不可控因素”的关系，原本斗志昂扬的小队战斗力突然被打了个对折……

AK-47Hahaha, it's down to the two of us.哈哈哈，就剩我们两个了欸。

A-91Those two were real jerks~ What do we do now, leader? It's down to us.那两个家伙真是可恶呢~ 现在要怎么办？队长？ 只能靠我们两个了喏。

AK-47We'll be enough. Hell, I could do it by myself, no problem!有我们两个就足够了。 就算只剩我一个也没问题！

A-91Oho! Aren't we confident.喔——信心满满嘛。

A-91Da! The ten million is ours!没错！一千万是我们哒！

AK-47Woohoo!呀吼——！

After a rousing fist pump, the pair fall silent. Their designated straight man is gone, and there are no enemies around, so the two of them have nowhere to vent their hot-bloodedness.热闹地振臂一挥之后，便陷入了沉默的寂静之中。 因为负责吐槽的人也已经不在了，再加上周围也没有敌人，所以两人一股脑的热血也没有可发泄的地方。

AK-47...I'm kind of not feeling it, you know?……稍微有点没劲啊。

A-91Man, why isn't there anyone around now?真是，偏偏在这时候一个人都看不见。

ISACDecrease in body temperature detected.检测到特工体温正在降低。

A-91We don't need you to pity us!不需要你来可怜我们！

AK-47Shh... Hang on a bit.嘘……等一下。

A-91Hm?嗯？

AK-47 suddenly lowers her voice and scurries behind cover. A-91 hasn't figured out what's going on yet, but she blearily apes AK-47's movements and gets behind a stone wall opposite her.AK47的声音忽然压低了许多，忙不迭地躲到了掩体后面。 虽然还没搞清楚发生了什么，但A91也迷迷糊糊地有样学样，躲到了另一边的岩壁后面。

A-91Hey, what's this all about...喂，你丫突然怎么回……

AK-47Sssh.嘘。

AK-47 shushes A-91 with a finger and gestures at the other end of the road. A-91 looks in that direction — a pair of familiar figures slowly round the bend at the junction in the distance.AK47对A91做了个噤声的手势，单手打手语，示意了一下道路的另一头。 在AK47的示意下，A91顺着道路投去了视线——在尽头的拐角处，两个熟悉的身影慢悠悠地拐了出来。

A-91!！

It's Vector and PP-90. For some reason, they seem to be in the same situation as themselves. R93 and K5 are no longer with them, and no one appears to be performing rear guard duty. A-91 narrows her eyes and looks toward her squad leader, who has a somewhat mischievous look her face.是Vector和PP90。 虽然不知道为什么，但看样子，对方也陷入了和己方一样的境地。 之前见到过的R93和K5并不在队伍中，也不像是在后方戒备。 A91眯了眯眼睛，偏头看向了自己的队长，却正看到对方的脸上挂着有些玩味的笑容。

A-91...?……？

AK-47~

AK-47 presses her index finger to her lips. A-91 nods in understanding. She points to the pair advancing cautiously in the distance and gives AK-47 a meaningful look which roughly means, "What do we do about them?" AK-47 tilts her head in thought, then suddenly sticks out two fingers upside down and waggling them in a walking motion. A-91 freezes, then gives her an "OK" sign, indicating that she understands. After that, she takes a deep breath, then takes up her gun, ready to charge out.AK47将食指放在了嘴唇前，A91点了点头，表示自己明白。 她指了指仍在小心地前进的两人，用眼神询问AK47“打算怎么办”？ AK47微微仰了仰脑袋，似乎思考了一下，忽然伸出两根手指，倒着比出了行走的模样。 A91愣了愣，然后比了个OK的手势，表示自己完全明白。 随即，她吸了口气，端起枪就要冲出去。

AK-47...!!!!……！！！！

A-91??？？

AK-47 hurriedly stops her.AK47赶忙用动作制止了她。

AK-47 points to the other pair, then traces a circle in the air. After that, she makes that walking gesture again before choking herself. A-91 frowns. She doesn't seem to get it. AK-47 sighs, then points to the other two people, then gestures at herself with her thumb. A-91 seems to get that. AK-47 smiles, then uses both hands to mime a a pair of walking people, who separate and travel along two large curves in the air before coming back together. Comprehension dawns on A-91. AK-47 gives her an encouraging look. A-91 accepts it with a big thumbs up. AK-47 returns it with a glance of approval.AK47指了指两人，在空中画了个圈，然后再次比出行走的小人，又勒了勒自己的脖子。 A91皱了皱眉头，好像有点不太明白。 AK47叹了口气，又指了指那边的两个人，然后用拇指指了指自己。 A91好像稍微懂了点意思。 AK47笑了笑，用两只手分别比了个行走小人，绕了一个大圈之后，让两个小人汇合在了一起。 A91恍然大悟。 AK47给了她一个鼓励的眼神。 A91心领神会地比了个大拇指。 AK47还以赞许的目光。

As the other two approach, AK-47 and A-91 exchange a final look. They see mutual approval in each others' eyes. Having arrived at a shared understanding without saying a word, AK-47 turns and vanishes down an alley in the opposite direction.眼看着两人越来越接近，AK47最后和A91交换了一下眼神。 她们互相都看到了对方眼底的肯定。 心领神会地达成了默契后，AK47转头消失在了另一边的小径之中。

A-91Phew...呼……

A-91 takes a deep breath once more. Now that there's nobody to stop her, she pauses, then raises her gun and charges out into the open!A91又一次深吸了一口气，这次没有人阻拦她，她顿了一顿，端起枪便冲出了掩体！

A-91Hold it right there!站住！

Vector...A-91!……A91！

PP-90Whoa! She's here!呜哇！出现了！

Naturally, the startled pair immediately go on their guard.理所当然地，被吓了一跳的两人也迅速戒备了起来。

A-91You sure did us dirty earlier~ Let's see where you can run now! Heheh!之前受你们照顾了啊~ 这次看你们往哪跑！嘿嘿。

VectorYou might try to affect the laugh of a middle-aged man, but you're just an ordinary beauty.就算故意发出那种大叔一样的笑声，你也照样只是个普通的美女而已。

A-91Hm? A beauty? Aw, come now, flattery isn't gonna get you...欸？美女？哎呀，真是的，就算说好话我也……

VectorThat said, nobody would go out of their way to make an ugly female Doll. You aren't rare or anything, and you act just like a middle-aged drunkard. I guess you aren't attractive after all.话说回来，也没有人会特意去定制丑女人形就是了。 本来就不是什么稀缺品，而且还跟个中年醉汉没差，大概没什么吸引力吧。

A-91Why you— Die, damn you! Dieeeeee!你这家伙给我受死啊噢噢噢噢！！

PP-90What's all this about dying... Speaking of which, are you alone?说什么受不受死的……话说回来，就你一个吗？

VectorYeah, where are your other three buddies?是啊，你的另外三个同伴呢？

A-91Don't change the subject! And don't think you're getting away this time! If you get it, then be good and hand over your vodka and your other alcohol! I might consider going easy on you if you do!少给我扯开话题！ 别以为你们这次还跑得掉！ 识相点赶紧乖乖把你们手里的伏特加和其他酒都给我交出来！ 我再考虑要不要宽大处理你们！

VectorThis game doesn't have vodka or other alcoholic drinks, right? Did you get separated from the others? That's why I told you not to drink so much... Didn't you learn anything from the pajama party?这个游戏里没有伏特加和其他酒吧？难不成你们分散了吗？ 所以我才说要少喝点酒…… 上次睡衣派对的事还没吸取教训吗？

A-91Heh, heheh. I have to hand it to you, Vivi. As cool as ever, even when you're on death's door. You don't really think I came out completely unprepared, do you?哼，哼哼，不愧是你，Vivi。 死到临头还这么故作冷静。 你不会真以为我什么准备都没做就一个人跑来吧！

VectorYou mean the others are hiding? Doesn't seem likely. I doubt a bunch of drunkards could come up with any complex strategies.难道说其他人藏起来了？也不像啊。 一群醉汉没可能搞那么复杂的战术吧。

A-91Ahahahahaha! Only you could remain cocky at a time like this, Vivi! They say you're good at recon and anti-recon, but if you ask me, it isn't all that amazing!哈哈哈哈哈哈！ 也就只有现在你能说这种嚣张的话了，Vivi！ 都说你的侦察和反侦察水平非常了不起，看来也不过如此嘛！

VectorDid I miss something?我遗漏了什么吗？

A-91Maybe if you beg me at the training range next time, I might tell you! —AK-47! It's time! Do it!下次在训练场的时候老老实实向我求教的话我就告诉你！ ——AK47！是时候了！动手！

PP-90!！

The two of them look down the quiet street, then turn back to look bemusedly at A-91.两人张望了一下静悄悄的街道，同时将头转了回来，狐疑地看着A91。

A-91...Hahaha! Got you, didn't I! This is our plan! Unexpected and taking the enemy by surprise! Hey! AK-47? Now's a good time! Show yourself already! Did you hear me?! Get out here right now! Oi!……哈哈哈！吓到了吧！这就是我们的战术！打的就是一个措手不及出其不意！ 喂！AK47？是好机会啊！快点出来！你听见了没！给我出来！喂！

Vector?？

PP-90?？

A-91...Uh, excuse me for a moment, please.……不好意思，稍微暂停一下。

Vector...By all means.……请便。

A-91Cyka! Where the hell are you?!混球！你人跑哪去了！

AK-47Huh? Didn't we agree to regroup in the Dark Zone?啊？不是说了暗区汇合吗？

A-91Regroup? In the Dark Zone?!暗区！？汇合！？

AK-47Yeah, I said there was no need to fight with them, so we should just avoid them and head straight into the Dark Zone...对啊，我说现在没必要跟她们打，直接绕道进暗区啊……

AK-47I thought you got it? You told me it was OK. Where are you, anyway?你不是看懂了吗？还跟我说OK，你人在哪？

A-91BLYAT!#￥@*！*

The transmission ends.通讯断开。

VectorSo what's your game?你葫芦里卖的到底是什么药？

A-91... ... ...Hahaha! I was just kidding, see, I was just, uh, having a laugh with you! Take your time, you two! I'll buy you a drink when we get back! G-goodbye!…… …… ……哈哈哈！ 开玩笑，跟你们这不是，开个玩笑嘛！ 两位慢走！咱们回去有机会我请你们喝酒啊！ 再，再见！

A-91 pivots on her heels and runs away without looking back.A91猛地一转身，头也不回，一溜烟地就跑了。

Vector... ...What was that all about?…… ……搞什么啊？

A-91(Pants heavily) Govno! You screwed me good, AK-47!！哈……哈…… 靠！被你害死了！AK47！

A-91 grits her teeth. She recalls her disgraceful exit just now and it's plain that she's still very unhappy about it.A91咬牙切齿，回想起刚才丢人的样子，仍旧是满满的不甘心。

A-91Once was bad enough, but now I let them strut off like that again... How can I possibly live with that?! Oi, AK-47!第一次就算了，第二次也让她们这么大摇大摆地走掉… 我不要面子的啊！ 喂！AK47！

A-91 frantically barks at the communicator, but there is no answer.A91气急败坏地对着通讯吼了起来，但是并没有得到回应。

A-91Arghhh, forget it! I'll just have to do it myself! ...Let's see...算了！靠不住的！ 老娘自己动手……我看看。

A-91 checks her backpack. Apart from the ammo and food she has collected earlier, the bulk of its contents are explosives.A91检查了一下自己的背包。 除却之前收集的弹药和食物以外，里面最多的就是爆炸物。

It looks like Vector and PP-90 are headed to the Dark Zone too. While there are many ways to get to the Dark Zone from Sixth Avenue, only one of them is the shortest... And Vector doesn't seem like the kind to go the long way around.Vector和PP90前进的方向，看样子也是在往暗区走。 从六大道到暗区的路线虽然有很多，但最近的路只有一条…… 不管怎么看，Vector都不像是会绕路的类型。

A-91I've got it...有了……

A-91 shuts her inventory screen as a perfect plan hatches in her mind.A91关闭了背包界面，一个完整的计划在她心中浮现。

A-91...Let's take a look at the map. Oh, there, that's it! Judging by the direction Vector and PP-90 are headed, they'll have to pass through here. If I can get there ahead of them and plant all the explosives in my backpack...……让我看看地图。 唔，有了，就这个路口！ 按Vector和PP90前进的方向来说，她们铁定要通过这里。 只要我提前赶到，然后把背包里累积到现在的爆炸物都有效利用起来的话……

A-91BOOM! They'll be blown to kingdom come! Haha, I AM a genius! Hahahaha!嘭……地一下，就全都炸上天啦！ 哈哈！我果然是个天才嘛！ 哈哈哈哈！

Wild laughter echoes through the alleys for a long, long time.久久，狂野的大笑声在巷内回响不绝。

AK-47(Hic) Man, why isn't A-91 here yet? She's so slow.……嗝。 A91怎么还没到，好慢啊。

43-B-3 AK47小队支线3

... In the Dark Zone.…… 暗区。

AK-47Ah-choo!啊湫！

AK-47 rubs her nose. She has been waiting here by herself for a very long time.AK47揉了揉鼻子，她已经一个人在这里等了很长时间。

AK-47A-91's taking so long... What's up with her, anyway? Come to think of it, she sent a radio transmission just now. Wonder what that was all about?A91好慢啊……她在搞什么鬼啊。 说起来她之前好像来过通讯，说了什么来着？

AK-47Eh, forget it. Tsk. Seriously... It's not a good habit to keep people waiting.忘记了。 啧，真是的，让人久等可不是好习惯啊。

Thoroughly bored, AK-47 kicks at a nearby stone.百无聊赖中，AK47无言地踢了踢脚边的石子。

AK-47...Don't tell me something happened to her? Did Vivi intercept her when she was taking the roundabout route? She wouldn't be so dumb, would she?……那家伙该不会出什么事吧？ 难不成在绕路的时候被Vivi她们堵了吗？ 不会那么蠢吧？

Boom—轰——！

AK-47Gwah! W-what was that?!咕哇！ 什，什么声音！

SystemX Honey Muffin died from an explosion. X Chain Charge 81 died from an explosion. X Dazzling Mouse Tamer died from an explosion. X Candy Cannon died from an explosion. X Abzolut Vodka died from an explosion.x 蜂蜜松饼 死于爆炸 x 连环冲锋八十一 死于爆炸 x 闪耀驯鼠师 死于爆炸 x 糖果炮台 死于爆炸 x 绝对伏特加 死于爆炸

AK-47Ehhhhh?! Isn't that A-91?! How did she get blown up? And she went out along with a bunch of other guys whose names don't sound like they're drinkers...咕欸！？A91！？ 怎么被炸死了啊！ 而且还跟几个名字听起来一点都不下酒的家伙在一起……

AK-47 sniffs at the air and looks in the direction of the other Dark Zone exit.AK47抽了抽鼻子，看向了另一侧的暗区出入口的方向。

AK-47It must have something to do with that explosion just now. Was it that way?跟刚才的爆炸声肯定脱不了关系。 是在那边吗？

After a brief pause, AK-47 shakes her head and runs toward the source of the blast.略一踌躇后，AK47摇了摇头，拔脚朝着爆炸声的源头走去。

AK-47...What the hell is this?……这什么啊。

Ground zero of the explosion is unexpectedly close to AK-47's position. However, when AK-47 arrives, all she sees is countless pillars of multi-colored light all over the ground.爆炸发生的地点隔AK47所在的位置的距离出乎预料的近。 但是在AK47抵达的时候，她入目所及能够看到的，只有一地五颜六色的光柱。

AK-47Did I accidentally stumble onto Ali Baba's secret trove or something... Ah, speaking of which, five people died here, right? Did they drop these items?我这是不小心进了阿里巴巴的秘密宝库吗…… 啊，说起来这里是死了五个人是吧？ 是她们掉落的物资吗？

AK-47 approaches the pillars, and ISAC just so happens to chime in to remind her to restock on supplies.AK47走近了光柱，ISAC也恰好在此时提醒了她状态需要补充的情况。

AK-47Cy... Did they rob a hotel or what?嘶…… 这群人是抢劫了饭店吗？

Most of the multicolored drops are food and water, with the occasional bit of ammo. Also, there's...而在那群五颜六色的掉落当中，除了部分弹药之外，余下的绝大部分几乎都是食物和水。 另外，还包含了……

AK-47Er... I guess these things belonged to A-91. And SKS' stuff is also...呃…… 这些东西，好像是A91的吧。 西蒙诺夫的也……

As she looks at her instantly-bulging backpack, inspiration strikes AK-47, and her half-drunk mind suddenly arrives at a terrifying notion.望着自己一瞬间就被塞满的背包，AK47一个激灵，半醉半醒的脑袋里突然冒出了一个可怕的想法。

AK-47Could this be a gift from the Fairy Queen?!难不成是妖精女王的礼物吗！

... Of course not.…… 当然不是。

AK-47... So I'm the only one left, huh.…… 就剩我一个了啊。

Her squad had been a rowdy, lively bunch just a few hours ago, but in the blink of an eye, she is all alone, muttering to herself. The buzz of alcohol hasn't fully faded yet, but AK-47 is starting to feel empty inside.几小时前还热闹非凡的小队，眨眼间就只剩下自己一个人自言自语。 即便酒劲到现在也还没消退，但AK47还是感觉到了些许空虚。

AK-47I don't know what I should say, but don't worry, comrades. I'll make it to the end for everyone's sake. All this is for the Moscow that stands behind us! YPA! Also, for ten million dollars' worth of vodka!不知道该说什么，不过，放心吧，同志们。 我会带着你们的份走到最后的。 这都是——为了我们身后的莫斯科！ 乌拉！ 顺便也为了价值一千万的伏特加！

AK-47Haha, I don't know what's going on, but... I suddenly feel like I'm going to win! At times like these, a professional Tactical Doll like me can grasp the situation with a glance.哈哈哈，虽然不知道怎么回事。 但突然就觉得我胜算很大啊！ 咱这种专业的战术人形，事到如今也差不多能看清局势了。

As she cleanly and efficiently eliminates the rogue agents in her way, AK-47 is filled with surging euphoria.利索地干掉了挡在面前的叛变特工，AK47的雀跃感一览无余。

Ka-chak.咔咔。

AK-47I didn't know there were so many supplies in the Dark Zone. There's such an abundance of ammo even I'm starting to think it's a bit excessive... There's no way I can lose! I've practically won! Ahahaha! I feel great— Hey you! Don't run!进入暗区之后还有这么多的物资，弹药的数量多到我都觉得有点奢侈…… 不可能输的嘛！简直就是已经赢了啊！ 哈哈哈！超爽的——喂！别逃！

Rogue Agent...!……！

AK-47Ohoho, that was a surprise. How dare you screw around when I'm having fun, you little bastard!哦哟，吓我一跳。 别在人家正高兴的时候捣蛋啊，你这小混蛋！

Bang! AK-47 pounces like a great white shark savaging a shoal of fish as she directs hails of lead and streams of fire at every moving target in sight.呯！ 如同扑入鱼群的白鲨，AK47连一点节俭的概念都没有，枪口轰鸣的火舌吞噬着她能见到的每一个移动单位。

AK-47That's how it should be — now THIS is a game! Hahaha! Oh, this is nowhere near enough! Come on, bring it on!就是这样——这才叫打游戏啊！ 哈哈哈！憋死我了，喂！再多来点！

A stunning scene is playing out. AK-47, endowed with an extraordinary amount of supplies, is tearing right through the rogue agents roaming the Dark Zone. Chocolate bars! Canned rations! Mineral water! Soda! Incendiary rounds! Explosive rounds! Thriftiness! Economization! Stockpiling! None of these mean anything to AK-47! At this moment, she is the reigning Lord of War of this land!令人瞠目结舌的场景就在此处上演着。 拥有超乎寻常的补给数量的AK47，反过来追着徘徊在暗区的叛变特工们撕咬。 巧克力棒！ 罐头食品！ 矿泉水！ 汽水！ 燃烧子弹，爆炸子弹！ 节省！节约！储备！ 这些单词全都跟AK47没有一毛钱的关系！此时此刻，她就是这片土地唯一伫立的战争之王！

AK-47Now! Who's hunting who now? Ahahaha! Oi, Dima, Dima? Miss Dima?现在！谁才是猎人啊？啊哈！ 喂，蒂玛，蒂玛？蒂玛小姐？

There is no response from the system or the comms.系统和通讯都没有回应。

AK-47Tsk, she's ignoring me. So what should I do next? I was supposed to find something, right? Ahhh, forget it! Who cares? I'm as high as a freaking kite right now—！切，不搭理我。 接下来是要干什么？我记得是要找到什么东西来着？ 算了，没所谓！我现在已经high到不行啦——！

Bangbangbang!呯呯呯——！！

AK-47Ahahahaha! Come on, run faster, piglets! Run back home to your mama!哈哈哈哈哈哈！跑得再快点！你们这群猪崽子！滚回去回炉重做！重做！

Boom! A sudden explosion puts a damper on AK-47's revelry just as she's about to reach a climax. In the distance, a group of rogue agents suddenly swarm out of the rubble, opening fire as they move. They seem to be chasing someone. As she sees the figure leading them, AK-47 suddenly freezes in place, as though she had suffered a system crash.轰！ 就在AK47的情绪即将迎来最高点的时候，一声突如其来的爆响打断了她的狂笑。 不远处，一群叛变特工忽然自废墟之中涌出，他们一边持续开火一边移动着。 看起来似乎在追逐什么人的样子。 看清领头的黑影之后，AK47如同卡顿了一样忽然停滞了一下。

AK-47Hm? ...I'm not seeing things, am I? Is that a Doll over there? And she's kind of familiar, isn't she?嗯？……我没看错吧？那家伙，是人形？ 而且那家伙，好像在什么地方见过来着？

416Don't push it, you lot! Tsk! If only I had more ammo...别太过分了！你们这群人——！ 啧！要不是子弹不够用……

She might have taken down the most fearsome foe of all, but the flood of unrelenting foes is still hot on 416's heels. Overwhelmed by the opposition's numbers, 416 can only mount a fighting retreat, but even after expending almost all her ammunition, she still can't shake her pursuers.尽管击倒了最恐怖的对手，但如潮水一般紧追不放的敌人仍然死死地咬着416的尾巴不放。 在对方的数量压制下，416只能且战且退，直到自己的弹药都几乎打空，也没能将这群“尾巴”甩掉。

416I can't let this go on...这样下去不行……

416 knows that at this rate, they're going to grind her down into nothing. The only way to reverse this outcome is to reuse her previous gambit of turning things around with explosives.这样僵持下去，被拖死的肯定是自己，416心知肚明。 当下唯一的破局法，就只有如法炮制之前的方案，用爆炸物来打开局面。

416The explosives are ready, but I need to gather up the enemy...爆炸物我是准备好了，但还得想办法把它们聚拢起来……

416 nimbly darts through the enemy hordes, her movements swift and dexterous. However, she does not know that her skillful display is pouring gasoline on someone else's burning heart.416身手敏捷地穿梭在敌群当中，动作矫健。 而她浑然不知，这精彩的表演，就如同一捧纯油般泼在了另外一个人燥热的心上。

AK-47This is it, this is it! This is a chance to really show my stuff! I'm tired of these suckers! It's about time I faced a worthy opponent!来了来了……来了啊！ 我大展拳脚的机会！ 跟这些菜鸟已经玩腻了！差不多也该给我个有价值的对手了吧！

416...What?……什么？

AK-47YOU! Da, you! While I don't know who you are...but I won't let this chance go! It's not right, don't you think? Fighting all this way and not killing a single player?! You over there! I don't know you, but I'm sorry to say you're going to be my first prey! —Don't hold it against me!你！就是你！ 虽然不知道你是谁……不过，我可不会放过这么棒的机会。 辛辛苦苦一路打过来，结果还一个玩家都没有击杀过，你也觉得不对劲吧！ 不认识的家伙！虽然不认识你，但是抱歉啦，你就是我的第一个猎物！ ——别怪我喔！

Ka-chak.咔——

AK-47Here! Comes! A! K! 47!A！K！4！7！来！了！喔！

Bangbangbang! AK-47 smashes into the enemy horde like a juggernaut, firing with wild abandon.呯呯呯——！ 毫不顾忌地宣泄着枪火，AK47以势不可挡般的气势直接扎入了敌群之中。

416Yet another lunatic! Is there no end to them?!怎么又来一个疯子——！ 没完没了是吧！

416 freezes up for a moment, and when she recovers, she also hurriedly cocks her rifle. She has no desire to begin trying to communicate with the rampaging bull that is AK-47. More to the point, the massive stack of buffs radiating from her means that she is definitely not someone 416 can fight.HK416先是愣了一下，等她反应过来之后，也是匆匆忙忙地拉动了枪栓。 ——面对如同铁牛一样猛冲而来的AK47，她可连一点沟通的胃口都没有。 更不用说，对方身上亮起的那一大堆BUFF状态——完全不是能接战的对手。

416What— Wait, wait! That's—!！什——等，等等！ 那个方向是——！

AK-47Hahaha! Too late too late too late! Kneel before me! I'm going to eat you up, milashka!哈哈哈！来不及了来不及了！乖乖认命！ 成为我的饵食吧！小可爱！

No obstacle can stop AK-47 as she sweeps down on 416 like a storm, intent on devouring her in an instant!没有任何障碍能够阻挡她的脚步，势如破竹的AK47就像一阵风暴一般，眨眼间便要将HK416彻底吞没！

—Click.——咔。

AK-47...Hm?……嗯？

..Her wild laughter suddenly cuts off. It is as though someone has taken a still photograph of the scene. Not even 416 manages to react to what has happened, given that her finger has just tightened around her trigger. AK-47's blacked out brain instantly comes to its senses — the strange sensation under her feet has awakened a certain reflex in her. With just the slightest contact, she realizes exactly what has happened.……狂野的笑声在一瞬间戛然而止。 画面就像定格了一般，就连416都没反应过来发生了什么，手指刚刚扣上扳机。 AK47断电的大脑瞬间清醒过来——足下异常的触感引发了她的某种条件反射。 只一霎，她便意识到发生了什么。

AK-47... ...Cyka blyat.…… ……他妈的。

BOOM!轰！！

SystemX Smirkov Red Label died from an explosion.x 红牌 死于爆炸

416That's where I set my trap... ...I was going to say you ran into the explosives I planted.那个方向是我做的陷阱啊…… ……我就是想说这个，你撞到我安置的爆炸物了。

As AK-47 is blown sky-high, countless pillars of light begin falling back down to earth.伴随着AK47被炸上天的烟尘，无数的光柱散落一地。

416Still, I'm saved! So thanks, weird stranger!不过——总之是得救了！ 谢了！不认识的奇怪家伙！

43-C-1 春田小队支线1

Inside the café, two hours after the news about the Division survival tournament began to circulate.《全境封锁》生存竞赛信息发布两小时后，咖啡厅内。

SpringfieldOh, hello. Would you like something, 97?哎呀，欢迎光临。想点些什么呢，97？

Type 97Springfield! Take part in the tournament with me!春田！和我一起去参加竞赛吧！

SpringfieldWhat tournament?竞赛？

Type 97It's a survival tournament for "The Division"! The winner goes home with ten million dollars!《全境封锁》生存竞赛，最后赢家可以获得一千万奖金！

SpringfieldThat's a very tempting prize, but are you sure this isn't a scam of some sort?是很诱人的奖金呢。不过，真的不是诈骗信息吗？

Type 97It's certainly possible, but what if it's true? This is ten million dollars we're talking about, ten million! We could expand the café by a lot, hire more Dolls, and add more variety to the menu!虽然也有这个可能啦，但是万一是真的呢？ 这可是一千万的巨款，一千万！我们可以把咖啡厅扩建得非常大，雇用更多的人形，上新速度变快！

SpringfieldI wonder what the café will be like once we invest ten million into renovating it?投入一千万在咖啡厅改装的话，咖啡厅会变成什么样呢？

Type 97Step into the Griffin Kingdom of Sweets!快进到格里芬甜品之国！

SpringfieldMy oh my, we can't rush this...哎呀哎呀，这可不是什么都能快进的……

Just then, Gr MP7 enters the café.正交谈间，MP7迈进了店门。

Type 97You came just in time, Gr MP7! Come help me convince Springfield!来得正好，MP7！快来一起劝春田！

Gr MP7Did I just hear something about a kingdom of sweets?我刚刚好像听见了甜品之国之类的东西。

Type 97Yep! We're only one victory away from a kingdom of sweets!正是如此。现在我们和甜品之国的距离，只有一次胜利！

Gr MP7And by victory, you mean winning the survival tournament?生存竞赛的胜利？

Type 97Looks like you already know. If we win that ten million dollars, we can turn the café into a grand Kingdom of Sweets. Every brick will be made of puff pastry, the windows will be caramel, the curtains will be cotton candy, the roof tiles will be cake...你已经知道了嘛。 如果我们拿下那一千万，我们就能把咖啡厅改造成宏伟的甜品王国。 每一块砖都由糖酥搭建，窗户是焦糖，窗帘是棉花糖，瓦片是蛋糕……

Gr MP7I'm not THAT obsessed with sweets.我对糖果的执着也没有那么深。

Seeing that her tactic doesn't quite seem to be working on Gr MP7, Type 97 instead sidles up to her and continues her temptation.见这招似乎对MP7没用，97式眼珠一转，凑过去压低了声音，继续引诱。

Type 97Once we expand the café into a kingdom of sweets, we'll be able to hire more part-timers, then we'll have new desserts to eat every day. We'll also be able to conquer the enemy with sweets, making battles easier for us...只要咖啡厅扩编成甜品王国，就能招到更多的打工仔，然后每天都有新的点心吃。 我们还可以用甜品征服敌人，使战斗更加轻松……

Springfield(Oh my... She's getting through to that girl.)（哎呀呀……这孩子，被说动了呢。）

Type 97Come join me, Springfield! Everyone's going to be playing in the tournament today, so it'll be fine if the café closes up for a while.春田，一起来嘛！今天大家都去打竞赛了，咖啡厅休息一会儿也不会有事的啦。

Gr MP7I'd also like you to come with us, Springfield. We'll win for sure with me around.我也希望能和春田一起去。 有我在，我们一定会获得胜利。

SpringfieldWhat will I do with you... Alright then, but we're only playing a single round.真没办法……好吧，只是玩一局的话，一起去吧。

Type 97Yaaaaay—好耶——

... —Manhattan, USA. The snowstorm seems endless. The snowflakes clump together in such large patches that they lack the energy to even dance in the wind. Instead, they just dive heavily to the ground. After a brief period of preparation, the team of four exits the house.…… 美国·曼哈顿。 风雪仿佛永无止歇。大片的雪花连飘摇的力气都欠奉，沉重地坠在地上。 短暂的准备后，四人踏出了房屋。

ISACBody temperature is below normal.体温已降到低于正常体温。

Type 97Oof, it's cold. And apparently body temperature is a thing here... Should we get something to keep warm?呜哇，好冷。这里有体温设定耶……应该找点什么来保暖吧？

SpringfieldThe environment here is harsher than what the introduction said...这里的环境比介绍里还要严苛呢……

Type 97Huh? There's something glowing on the ground!诶，地上有发光的东西耶！

SpringfieldCareful, Type 97. We aren't familiar with the game's systems. It would be very dangerous if this were a trap.小心一点，97。我们对游戏机制都还不太熟悉，如果是陷阱的话很危险。

Type 97You're overthinking this, Springfield. It's not like this is Bright Souls or Bloodblessed, I'm sure the starting area won't be THAT malicious. Let me see... Water, soda, and fabric. What's all this?春田你想太多了啦。这里又不是白亮之魂或者血源祝福，刚出新手房间的地方不会有很大恶意的。 让我看看……水，汽水，布料。都是什么啊？

DimaLooks like you've obtained some supplies. Use your supplies to stay alive so that you can complete your mission. Good luck.看来你已经遇到了物资。使用补给来维持生命，然后完成任务吧。 祝你们好运。

SpringfieldAh, so these are supplies. Just directly wearing the fabric doesn't seem to be useful. It looks like you'll need to combine it with something else. Unfortunately, I didn't bring my sewing kit with me. Perhaps we need to find tools in the next safe house.啊，是补给物资。 布料直接披在身上好像没什么用，应该要和什么组合起来吧。我没有带针线包，也许得到下一个据点去找找工具。

Type 97If we can't lighten the fabric, perhaps it might be used for something else? In any case, I'll have a drink of the water first!布料没法减轻的话，说不定是用其他东西？ 我先来喝口水看看！

Glug, glug. Type 97 finishes off a bottle of water.咕嘟，咕嘟。97式喝光了这瓶水。

AA-12How does it feel, 97?感觉怎么样，97？

Type 97Whooooooa!哇！

SpringfieldAre you alright, 97? You might attract the enemy to you if you're so loud all of a sudden.97，你还好吗？突然这么大声，说不定会引来敌人哦。

Type 97Oh God! I can see forever! Everything is transparent to me now!我看到了终极！一切在我眼里都变得透明了！

Gr MP7Perv.变态。

Type 97What are you covering yourself up for? I meant the BUILDINGS are transparent. I can see supplies behind cover, inside the houses just up ahead, and behind the streetlights! There are sooooo many items!你捂着自己的衣服干嘛，不是那种透明啦，是建筑物变得透明了。 我能看见掩体后面的物资，前面路口的房子，还有路灯挡板后面！好多物资啊！

SpringfieldLooks like the food has special effects.看来食物有特别的效果呢。

Type 97My eyes are bright, even brighter than a snow wolf's! Come on, it's time to explore the marvels of this world! Let's gooooo—!我的眼睛是雪亮的，就算是雪狼的眼睛也比不过！ 走吧，现在就去探索这个世界的奇妙之处！出发——！

SpringfieldThat sounds like a good idea. Shall we?听起来不错，那就这么走吧。

ISACCore temperature decrease detected.已侦测到核心体温降低。

Gr MP7...It's that message again. Hang on, I want to try something else.……又提示了，等一下，再试试别的。

Glugluglug. Gr MP7 downs the soda.咕嘟嘟嘟。MP7喝掉了汽水。

Gr MP7Seems to have the same effect as the water...and my body temperature is still dropping. It's no good.和水的效果好像是一样的……我的体温还在继续下降，没有用。

Type 97Then we need to hurry up and go searching! Eye of the Snow Wolf, activate! Find our lifeline in this snowstorm!那我们就得快点去搜索了！雪狼之眼，启动！在暴风雪里找到我们的生机！

Gr MP7Eye of the Snow Wolf, indeed...真的就是雪狼之眼了啊……

Springfield(Sighs) Slow down, Type 97...唉。97式，跑慢一点……

Type 97 runs through the streets ahead of the others.街道上，97式在前面奔跑着。

Gr MP7Look out!小心！

Type 97I see it, he's behind that piece of cover— I'll bet he'll drop something new if we kill him!我看到了，那个家伙在掩体后面——干掉他，肯定有新掉落！

Gr MP7Please let it be something that'll help us out of this fix we're in.但愿能有解决困境的物资。

With the four of them focusing fire, the enemy doesn't even have the time to put up any resistance before he collapses to the ground and turns into sparkly supply icons.四人集火的情况下，敌人甚至没来得及反抗，便倒在地上化作了闪光的物资点。

Gr MP7What was that noise?什么声音？

AA-12It's nothing. Just taking a screenshot.没什么，截图而已。

Type 97Let's see, we got chocolate, canned food, fabric...and painkillers.巧克力，还有罐头，布料……以及止痛药。

AA-12Chocolate? Chocolate contains calories, right? Let me try a piece. ...A bar just filled up, but it's not my temperature.巧克力？巧克力应该可以提供热量吧，我吃一块看看。 ……有个条消失了，但是不是体温。

Gr MP7Omnomnomnom... This chocolate is great. Is this a hunger meter or something? We've got cold, and hunger... I guess being cold and hungry is what makes it survival mode.唔呣呣呣……巧克力很不错。好像是饥饿感？又是饥饿，又是寒冷……饥寒交迫，这就是生存模式吗。

SpringfieldIn the end, we still haven't solved the problem of our temperatures dropping. What should we do now? I think there's a safe house nearby. Shall we go take a look?结果还是没有解决低体温的情况啊。现在该怎么办呢？附近好像有安全屋，先去看看吧？

Type 97But we might freeze to death if we don't take care of this. What we should do now is gather all the supplies we can find. Who knows, there might be item types we haven't discovered yet!可是不解决掉这个的话，还是有会冻死的可能嘛。 现在最该做的是先把所有物资都收集起来，说不定还有我们没有找到的物资类型！

AA-12I'm okay with anything.我都可以。

Type 97Our top priority now is exploration! Let's run, everyone!现在最重要的是探索！冲锋吧，各位！

SpringfieldWait, 97, Gr MP7! (Sighs) Wait!等等，97！MP7！唉……等等！

AA-12It can't be helped. Let's follow them. If they end up getting separated from us and something happens to them, we'll have a hard time managing with just the two of us.没办法了，我们也上吧。放她们在未知区域落单，万一出什么事的话我们两个也是孤掌难鸣。

SpringfieldGoodness... Let's go.真是的……走吧。

Some time later.一段时间后。

SpringfieldIt would seem there are four kinds of food and two kinds of medicine, and we can warm ourselves up by the oil-barrel fires and burning cars we pass along the way, but our temperature drops again once we leave. Visibility in the snowstorm is poor, so we need to stay together... Where are you going, 97?这么看来，食物分四种，药物有两种，然后我们刚才路过的汽油桶和在烧的车能让身体暖和起来，但离开就不行了。 风雪中能见度太低，要保持团队……97，你去哪里？

Type 97I'm looking for more stuff, of course! We'll be able to regenerate HP and see items as long as these status effects don't wear off. We'll be a step ahead of people who can't find any supplies.当然是要多拿点东西了！只要这几个效果不断，我们就能看到物品的同时不停回血，能力比找不到物资的人高一截。

Gr MP7But we've taken everything we've found along the way, haven't we? That should be enough to tide us over for a while.但这一路上的我们都已经拿光了吧？这个量够一段时间的消耗了。

Type 97How is that enough? We need more, to the point that nobody else has anything! He who controls the supplies controls the game, after all. As long as we have supplies, we can heal ourselves back up even if we lose HP from freezing.这哪里够，当然是要拿更多，让别人没的拿！ 掌握物资，就是掌握生命嘛。只要有物资，就算我们冻得掉血也可以强行补回来。

Gr MP7 sighs.MP7叹了口气。

Gr MP7Go talk to her, Springfield. We're here to test our skills, not play house.你劝劝她，春田。 我们来这里的目的是竞技，可不是玩过家家。

SpringfieldActually, I agree it's good to have more supplies. After all, the early game period is all about accumulating resources and leveling up, right?我也觉得物资充裕比较重要呢。 毕竟游戏的前期，就是在积累和发育吧？

Gr MP7What do you think, AA-12?AA12，你怎么看？

AA-12What did you guys say just now? I was taking screenshots; angles from inside a snowstorm are hard to capture.你们刚才说什么了吗？我在截图，暴风雪里的镜头很难抓。

Gr MP7... Forget it, I'll make a move first.…… 算了，我先走一步。

SpringfieldWhere are you going, Gr MP7? It's not safe to travel alone around here.你去哪儿，MP7？在这里独行的话不太安全。

Gr MP7I'll go scout ahead. Don't worry, a genius like myself is more experienced than an idiot who only knows how to charge forward.我去前面探路。别担心，“天才”可比一味前冲的笨蛋有经验多了。

With that, Gr MP7 walks past Type 97 as the latter is gathering supply items and vanishes into the snowstorm.说着，MP7从翻检物资的97式身边走过，没入了茫茫风雪之中。

AA-12Ah, she looks really cool walking off like that, better take a screenshot. Now, if only there were less snow... Ah, forget it, I'll edit it out afterwards.啊，这个背影也很帅，抓拍一下。 如果雪能再小一点的话……算了，这个后期处理一下就好。

SpringfieldHm... I think we're done with collecting supplies outside the houses in this area. We have ample stocks of food and fabric, but not enough ammunition. We need to be better prepared if we plan to proceed into an unfamiliar region.嗯……这片街区房间外的物资搜索差不多告一段落了。 食物和布料都很充足，弹药的量还不太够呢。 要往未知区域前进，得准备得更充分才行。

ISACDecrease in core temperature detected. Risk of hypothermia rising.侦测到核心正在体温下降。低体温症风险升高。

AA-12Come to think of it, are we actually going to freeze to death if this keeps up? Don't indulge Type 97's curiosity anymore, Springfield. We need to seriously think of a solution for this.说起来，这样下去真的会冻死吧？ 别再纵容97式的好奇心了，春田，我们得认真想想解决办法了。

Type 97That's true, but we can keep eating stuff to recover HP even if we all get hypothermia, unless there were some kind of Hypothermia Plus or something...对哦。但是就算全员失温症，也能不停地吃东西来挽回，除非出现失温症Plus……

SpringfieldNeither case sounds like good news.不管哪个听起来都不太妙呢。

SystemX Pink Nyan Nyan Punch died of hypothermia.x 玩家“粉红喵喵拳”死于低温。

Type 97...Ehhhh?! Dolls can actually freeze to death in this game?! Crap crap crap crap crap, how much longer do we have before we become popsicles?!……诶？！这个游戏可以真的冻死人形吗？！ 完了，完了，我们离冻死还有多远啊！

DimaAgents, you can take shelter from the cold inside a house. When the temperature falls too low, it would be a good idea to rest indoors for a while.特工，房屋内部能够抵御寒风。在温度过低的时候，去房子内部休息片刻是很好的选择。

AA-12Well, that's a noob-friendly tutorial... Are there any houses nearby which we can enter? I feel like we're going to freeze to death.真是友好的新手教程……附近有能开的房间吗？ 我感觉我们快要冻死了。

Type 97(Wails) Do we have anything that can keep us warm? Can we start a fire outside?哇啊啊我们有没有能提供温暖的东西啊！在外面烧火可以吗？

SpringfieldThat doesn't seem possible. Keep to the right, we might be able to rest inside the houses there... ...Oh dear. They don't have doors.好像不行呢。往右边走吧，右边的房间也许可以休息一下…… ……哎呀，没有门。

ISACWarning. Risk of hypothermia is rising.警告，低体温症风险正在升高。

Type 97We're screwed we're screwed where's the door?! Heeeeeeeeeellllppppp meeeeeee—完了完了哪里有门啊！救——命——啊——

Just as Type 97 starts running around in little circles and waving her arms about, a burst of fire rips through the snow and sparks blossom near her feet.正当97式开始抱头乱跑时，火光撕裂暴雪，在她脚边激起一串火花。

Type 97Is it the enemy? Well I'm not running from them! Even if I die, I'm taking a few of them with me!敌袭？我来了！ 就算在最后，也要拉上几个垫背的！

Gr MP7...What a bunch of idiots. Come with me, I've found a safe house.……真是一群笨蛋。 跟我来，我找到安全屋了。

... The group enters the safe house. The four Dolls sigh in relief as they are greeted by the warm air. Gr MP7 closes the door and stands by it with her gun ready, while AA-12 sits on a mostly intact sofa.…… 一行人进入了安全屋。 温暖的空气迎面而来，四个人形都发出舒适的叹息声。 MP7关好门，持枪守在门边，而AA12坐在了还算完好的沙发上。

Type 97I'msooooocoooooollldddd...呜哇哇冷冷冷抖抖抖……

SpringfieldBear with it for a while, it'll get better. The fabric we just recovered is enough to make two sets of clothing for everyone. As for equipment... Do you mind if we make some for Type 97 and Gr MP7 first, AA-12?稍微再忍耐一下，会好起来的。 我们刚才拿到的布料足够给每个人都先添置两件衣服，装备的话……先给97和MP7吧，AA12？

SpringfieldAA-12？AA12？

AA-12I'm trying to find a radio station. It doesn't seem like there's anyone else broadcasting around here besides Dima... What did you say just now? I've got a backpack full of food and water, if you need it.啊，我在试图寻找广播电台。除了蒂玛那边，这里好像没有运行中的电台啊…… 你刚才说了什么吗？要食物还是要水，我都攒了一整包。

SpringfieldWell, this IS survival mode, after all. As if anyone would have time to listen to broadcasts... Which is kind of a shame. Once we finish this game, we could try exploring other games. Anyway, I was just saying that we should make equipment for Type 97 and Gr MP7 first.毕竟是生存模式，没有闲心听广播才是常态……的确让人有点惋惜，等这次结束，我们可以到其他游戏去看看。 我刚才说，我们先把装备做给97和MP7吧。

AA-1297 and MP7... 7 7 is 14. Is that your lucky number?97，和MP7……7加7，14是你的幸运数字吗？

SpringfieldIs that the trick they introduced on Radio Kalina several nights ago? Hehe... Well, if we're calculating lucky numbers, then you add 1 and 4 together to make 5.是前几天深夜电台介绍的那个小技巧吗？ 呵呵……按照幸运数字的算法，应该拆成1和4相加，结果是5。

AA-12How nice, you're a fellow listener too.原来你也在听，真好。

SpringfieldI tune in every now and then. Alright, they get priority on gear, and then you. I believe that is best for our survival chances. You don't mind, do you?偶尔会。那么，优先装备她们，然后是你，这样对我们的生存是最好的。没有意见吧？

Type 97So you're the last, Springfield? Aren't you cold?最后才是春田？你不冷吗？

SpringfieldI'll be fine as long as the next safe house is close enough.只要下一个安全屋离得足够近。

AA-12I don't mind this allocation. I just want to know when the snowstorm will stop. In Gr MP7's case, she didn't take any food with her when she left, so she might have ended up dying of hunger by the roadside.这种分配方式我没意见，我只想知道风雪什么时候停下。 MP7的话，她走的时候没有拿食物，也许饿倒在路边了。

Gr MP7That would be an embarrassing way to go. Actually dying like that would prove that the Doll in question is an amateur who's completely unsuited to the battlefield.那种退出游戏的方式太丢脸了，如果真的有人这么退出，那只能证明这个人形完全就是不适合战场的菜鸟。

AA-12What about Pink Nyan Nyan Punch?粉红喵喵拳？

Type 97Ah, that's the one who died of hypothermia shortly after the game began! I wonder whose squad she belonged to? The poor thing...啊，游戏开始时死于低温的那个！ 不知道是哪个队伍的，真可怜。

Gr MP7I'm not even talking about geniuses now, even a regular player shouldn't make such a stupid mistake.这已经是不是说天才了，只要是个正常的玩家，都不该出现这种情况。

SpringfieldDon't say that. Very few people here have played this game before, and it's normal for newbies to ignore reminders.别这么说。这个游戏玩过的人很少，新人不注意提醒是正常的。

AA-12(Sighs) Isn't there any other fun to be had in this game apart from violence and mutual brutality?唉。这个游戏除了暴力互殴之外就没有其他的乐趣了吗？

Type 97But killing each other is fun too! Why so glum? Come, AA-12, look at me—互相搏杀也是乐趣的一种嘛！你怎么这么消沉，来，AA12，看着我——

AA-12Hm?嗯？

Type 97Type 97 Assault!97式突击！

AA-12 throws herself to the side. There is a large crash, and Type 97 is sprawled on the floor, rubbing her head.AA12猛然往旁边一个翻滚。一声巨响后，97式捂着额头滚倒在地上。

Type 97Ow ow ow... Huh? It doesn't hurt?痛痛痛……诶，不痛？

AA-12Well, this IS a game, after all. It isn't programmed to simulate pain, bleeding, bruising or whatnot.毕竟是游戏，这里好像没有痛觉系统，也没有相关的碰撞流血之类的状态。

Type 97So you're saying I can run into stuff for fun like this all day long?也就是说，我们可以四处这样撞着玩了？

AA-12Won't you get dizzy?你的头不晕吗？

Type 97Eh, it's alright. Since we're here, we should learn about all of the game's mechanics so we can win. As the saying goes, "know they self, know they enemy; a thousand battles, a thousand victories"!还好啊，来都来了，不探索一下游戏里的全部机制就没法赢嘛。 正所谓知己知彼，百战百胜！

Gr MP7Hey, have you guys been looking at your HP bar?喂你们俩，有没有注意自己的HP？

Type 97HP? Let me see... Ah, found it. Hey, it's getting shorter! Wait a minute, is this our health in the game?!HP？我看看……我找到了，在变短诶！ 等等，这是游戏里我们的血量吗……？！

Gr MP7Thank goodness you finally noticed. Seriously, did your observation skills as an elite Doll end up being converted to some kind of foolhardiness stats?谢天谢地，你总算注意到了。 我说，精英人形的洞察力在你身上都转化成行动力了吗？

Type 97Well, 95 and the Commander do enough thinking for the three of us, so all I have to worry about is becoming stronger. Besides, this is just a game! Having fun is the most important thing.因为平时有95姐和指挥官负责思考嘛，我只要强就好了。 而且，这是游戏嘛！快乐比什么都重要。

Gr MP7I don't recall you saying that when you roped me into this.你喊我组队的时候可不是这么说的。

AA-12Well, we're already in the game anyway, so we should just enjoy it and work together for victory.反正现在已经在游戏里了，享受游戏并且努力得胜就好了吧。

SpringfieldIndeed! Have some chocolate, you two.的确如此！来吃巧克力吧，两位。

Type 97I was just trying to trick you into joining us back then...当时不是想先骗你入队嘛……

Gr MP7Oi.喂。

Type 97It's just that you're strong and reliable, so having you around would really boost our chances of winning!因为你强大又可靠，有你在胜率肯定会变高！

Gr MP7...You got that part right at least.……算你说了句正确的话。

AA-12You sound just like a veteran survival game player. Speaking of which, how can you injure each other despite being on the same team? Is friendly fire enabled?一听就是老求生玩家了。 话说回来，明明是同一个小队的人居然能互相伤害，也就是说这个游戏里有友伤机制？

SpringfieldHm... I would say that there is no game-based team affiliation between us in the first place, AA-12.嗯……要说的话，我们之间并不存在系统设置的组队关系哦，AA12。

AA-12In other words...也就是说……

SpringfieldIn other words, we are a squad that is founded on trust and not recognized by the system. Of course, I have faith that nobody here will backstab the others.也即是说，我们仅仅是靠信义组成的队伍，不被系统承认。 当然，我相信各位的人品，不会做出背后捅刀的事情。

Type 97Ooooh— How scary! Springfield, you can't just trust people like that! Dolls can be evil too, you know!呜哇——太可怕了！ 春田，你不可以这么相信别人！人形也是有黑暗面的！

SpringfieldOh? What do you mean by that?哦？你的意思是？

Type 97Time to make the first strike— Take this!我要先发制人——看招！

Type 97 feints an attack at Springfield, then suddenly launches herself at AA-12's back. AA-12 is unable to dodge in time and the two of them roll into a pile across the safe house, causing a series of loud noises as they crash into different objects.97式说罢对着春田的方向虚晃一下，猛然转身向着AA12的背部扑了过去，AA12侧闪不及，二人滚作一团，安全屋里各种撞击声回响。

AA-12Hey! That was a cheap shot!你这家伙，不讲武德！

Type 97Heehee, all warfare is based on deception, as they say.哼哼，兵不厌诈嘛。

Gr MP7(Sighs) I don't even remember why I even came along in the first place...唉，我已经想不起来为什么要来了……

43-C-2 春田小队支线2

0点08分 时代广场，一条被净空的街道上。 在确认目光所及之处都没有敌人的踪迹后，摆脱了M870等人的春田小队终于能够停下来稍作喘息。

蒂玛恭喜你们脱离了险境，特工。但是，这不会是你遭遇到的第一场同伴间的战斗。 除了与你志同道合的人，这里也出现了叛徒……他们只想把这座城市变得更加混乱。

97式总算……总算跑出来了！你也帮帮忙嘛，蒂玛！ 你不能叫出点什么东西支援我们吗？

蒂玛很遗憾，特工。在大部分区域，我无法呼叫支援来帮助你们。 这里的情况太过危险，除非保证安全，否则我们不能轻易让珍贵的飞行人员以身犯险。

97式一点也不能吗？

蒂玛很抱歉。努力到达暗区，在任务完成后发射信号弹吧。直升机会带各位离开险境。

春田不要为难蒂玛了，97。我们得找个地方好好休息一下。 呼……总算脱离战斗了。

97式我们的装备也没有那么好，刚刚要是对上的话，我不敢确定自己有没有胜算。 还好有春田和最后的那个燃烧弹帮忙！

AA12下个安全屋在哪里？我还想躺一下，刚刚太紧张，现在很想吐。 那批人真的很奇怪。要不是春田拦着的话，应该把她们全部卸开的。

97式游戏里没有卸开的选项啦，只能击杀。不过那时候你根本是在发呆吧？

AA12我在截图，一转头你们就被瞄准了。

MP7……你在截图？这种生死关头，你居然在截图？

AA12享受游戏，MP7。我刚才截到的图很帅。

MP7我就是从这里跳出去，单挑外面的那些暴徒，也不会对你说的这些事动心。

97式让我看看！我们帅气吗？ 哇，这个角度好棒啊！我下次遇到了也要开连拍！

AA12我拍了好几张，大家都有。 之前MP7在暴雪里离开的这张，回去处理一下会更好看。

97式这张也好帅啊，是当时春田阻止我们开火的时候吗？ 啊，MP7也在。

AA12是啊，那个干扰弹的前一秒。看样子本来打算从背后放倒她们，眼神犀利，就随手截图咯。

MP7……给我看看？

AA12“我就是从这里跳出去？”

MP7就凭我们现在遇到那些暴徒，我一个人单挑足够了。

97式这就是强者的余裕吧！ 来，MP7，我给你加个BUFF！

MP7加什么？

97式只要我完成了这个仪式，你就能洞穿一切虚妄，精准地捕捉到每一个现实。 其名为，“雪狼之眼”！

MP7这只是矿泉水吧？你刚刚给它的形容居然拿来当BUFF名……

97式有什么的嘛，只要效果对就可以啦，细节不要在意。

MP7好吧，这个BUFF很实用。 水，汽水，巧克力，罐头，都给我一些。

春田诶？刚刚单挑什么的都是玩笑话，不要逞强。 现在外面危险的玩家很多，还有奇怪的城际警察……我们还是一起去吧。

MP7好，集群也可以。

MP7之前附近好像有人在战斗。 我去看看情况，说不定能收到残血。

97式一听就是老游戏玩家了！MP7，等我一下，我和你一起去！

AA12我也来。

春田只有一瓶汽水……其他物资应该都被带走了。 这瓶97你拿着吧。

97式好的！不过居然只剩下一瓶水了啊，难道对方的包满了吗？

AA12也可能只有这么一瓶，对方懒得拿。

97式哇，那好可怜哦。 一个人孤独地走在街道上，整个城市都疯狂了，灾难不断发生，暴徒四处横行……陪伴风雪里颤抖的她的只有一条狗。

MP7等一下，游戏里没有狗吧？无中生狗不可取。

97式狗是大家的好伙伴嘛！游戏里没有狗，总是有原因的！说不定在她到达这里之前，狗已经为了保护她而死去了。 用尽了最后的物资，又没有足够的保暖衣物，她万念俱灰。 但是走到这儿遭遇敌人的时候，她心中的求生欲忽然熊熊燃烧起来！她想，“就算是死，我也不能在这里死去。我要抗争到底！”

AA12然后她就被装备精良、物资充足的对手杀死了。一梭子子弹，夺走了这个倒霉蛋最后的希望。

97式啊，真可怜！M500听到这个故事一定会哭。为了纪念这个玩家，这瓶汽水我要留到最后再喝。

MP7……你不去给论坛那位连载漫画的作者写脚本真是太可惜了。

春田呵呵，97的想法总是这么天马行空，又好像有一点可行性的样子。

97式嘿嘿，大胆设想，谨慎实践嘛！

春田总之，物资匮乏和装备落后都是我们必须避免的事情。为了防止我们重复97讲到的悲剧，从现在开始，我们必须认真地考虑战略。

AA12认真啊……听见这个词就开始有点紧张了。 ……呕。

MP7装吐也装得像一点啊。 春田，你怎么想的？细说一下。

春田蒂玛，有什么办法可以快速拿到物资吗？ 储藏点，或者保有物资的敌人？

蒂玛在地标附近通常会盘踞着一些棘手的团伙。 他们手握大量物资，装备也十分精良。如果击败他们的话，能一次拿到很多物资和优良的装备。

MP7你想去挑战这些地标boss？

春田这样一来，我们不用和玩家争夺，也能迅速积累起来了。

97式哦！因为我们的衣服已经足够御寒，食物多多益善，但我们还是需要足够的威慑力。 想尽快升级装备又保证物资足够的话，地标是最好的选择！

春田正是这样。各位认为如何？

AA12我没有意见，你说什么就是什么吧。

MP7我也没有意见。

蒂玛接连的胜利给了这些暴徒团伙充足的信心，悍不畏死的人最为棘手。 万事小心，特工们。

97式大——丰——收——！ 这些NPC都好弱啊，完全不够打嘛！

MP7如果不是我扫掉你背后那个，你现在就已经登出游戏只能看着了。

97式谢啦，MP7。正因为团队合作，这些战斗才这么轻松嘛。我们拿到了多少物资，有没有清单？

春田嗯……足够给每个人的装备都升级到最强，而且还有很多剩余哦。

97式我很厉害吧？夸我，夸我——

春田嗯，97式真棒。AA12和MP7也是，真不愧是精英人形呢。

MP7不用这么夸我，我可是天才。这都是小事罢了。

AA12哦，出现了，深夜电台提到过的“春田的充电夸奖”。 好啦，我也只是尽了职责……不过这些弄完的话，接下来外面的物资就不拿了吗？背包不够用吧？

春田装备和武器我们只拿最好的，不要让这些武器占包，多余的弹药就丢掉吧。 这样一来，我们的背包空间一定是足够的。

AA12你是队长，听你的。不过这些武器不拿放在这里也不好吧。 不如干脆多做几把武器，不放实弹，就这么挂在身上。

97式听起来真酷啊！我要挂八把，这就是加把劲防弹衣了。

春田嗯……说不定这样也意外地有效呢。就这么做吧。 现在这个区域的食物和药品已经被我们搜干净了吧？

97式所有能被雪狼之眼看见的，一份都没剩下！

春田好。等我们的装备做好，再把旁边的街区搜刮一遍，我们就可以进入暗区了。 虽然那样会有点晚，但是充足的准备能让我们更稳妥地取得胜利。

蒂玛缜密的计算，和优秀的整体实力……有这样优秀的特工团队，任务会十分顺利吧。 但是不要因为称赞而放松。任务完成之前，无论多么完善的准备，都有因轻敌而失败的可能。

97式知道啦知道啦——这个蒂玛还真是体贴到像妈妈一样啊。

97式真的没有玩家再来惹我们耶。

MP7因为我们一看就不好惹吧？也可能是因为这种身上挂满了武器的样子实在不像正常人。

97式不管怎么说，我们只要找到这附近的地标就能把背包装满，然后赶紧去暗区里面了！

AA12暗区应该会更帅一点吧。希望有能截图的空档。

MP7截图的空档？战斗的时候，截图声一直没有停过吧。

AA12因为我们还没有陷入真正的困境。从目前的情报来看，暗区比这里要危险很多。

MP7真正的困境啊。我不觉得这里有能威胁到人形的困境就是了。

正在此时，一声悲恸的大叫撕开风雪、透过街道，径直传入众人耳中。

？？？P——P——9——0——

97式诶，叫得这么惨，那边好像发生什么事了耶。 我想过去凑个热闹！

AA12没有枪声。不是混战的话，就去看看咯。

系统x 玩家“不是假发是钻头”死于饥饿。

MP7……春田。

春田怎么了？你饿了吗？

MP7不是。你看前面，我们搜索过的街区里有光……物资包的光。 有人死在那里，多半就是那个……

MP7停顿了一下，看起来明显对重复那个ID感到难以启齿。

MP7……“不是假发是钻头”的光。

97式噗嗤。

MP7这是什么奇怪ID啊。 总之，要过去看看吗？说不定有其他的物资可以拿。

春田这一路上的侦查都是你负责的，论判断，没有人比你更可信。 走吧，我们去看看。

97式那是Vector吗？看起来好像是她。 但是这种凝重的气氛，难道是……

MP7你有头绪吗？

97式你看，MP7，她那么机警的人形，现在却背对着我们，对我们在这么近的距离说悄悄话一无所觉！ 事出反常必有妖，这只能证明一件事。

MP7你是说，她现在正在异常状态中无法动弹？

97式不。春田说过我们是信义组队，她这样一定是误伤了友军，在含泪舔包！

97式为什么又是这幅表情啦！

MP7那个钻头是饿死的。

97式那就是物资都在钻头身上，导致Vector没有注意到食物补给的缺失。虽然弹尽粮绝，但是保存物资的钻头一直隐瞒着，用自己的乐观鼓励Vector，把物资都让给她，最终独自饿死……

MP7……会相信你真的能推理出情报，我一定是被蜜獾传染了。 春田，要突袭吗？这样我们就有两个包可以拿了。

春田嘘……我们走吧。

MP7不拿吗？

春田那边的气氛，要打扰就太可惜了。 游戏里的生死也是生死，共同经历过这一场战斗，她们的感情会变得更好吧……走吧，接下来还有一整个街区的物资收入，时间不多了。

MP7虽然我不太赞同……但你是队长，按你说的做。

MP7收起枪，率先离去了。

春田悲痛一定能让你更加认真地投入游戏吧，Vector…… 如果一切顺利的话，暗区再见了。

留下这句话后，春田小队再次消失在茫茫的风雪之中。

人形A呜呜，Vivi和PP90好感人……

人形B你昨天不是还叫她Vector的吗？

人形A现在我知道她是一位面冷心热的人形了！ 我要和她做朋友，我也要躺在她怀里被她注视……

人形B……治一治你看见美少女就走不动的病吧。

格琳娜真是遗憾，Vivi小队出现了第一次伤亡！ 而春田小队在春田的运筹帷幄、MP7的强大战力和其余两名队员全力援助之下，现在正稳步发育中。 折损的利剑与沉稳推进的坚盾，以及其他几支小队各异的发展风格，所有人正在向暗区的方向汇集！

人形们（欢呼）

格琳娜先进入暗区的究竟会是谁，最后折桂的又会是谁呢！ 今天大胆的尝试与展望，明天说不定就是你在白区的独立住房！ 不要犹豫了，各位，正确的判断就该转为投资，不要等到决出胜负的时候再后悔！大胆投注吧！

0008 hours, on a cleared-out street near Times Square. After ensuring that there are no enemies in sight, Squad Springfield finally stops to rest, having shaken off M870 and company at last.

DimaCongratulations on escaping a tight spot, Agents. However, this won't be the last battle where you may have to fight your friends. Apart from those who stand with you, there are traitors here as well...they're only going to make this city that much more chaotic.

Type 97We...we made it at last! You should help us too, Dima! Can't you send out someone to assist us?

DimaUnfortunately, I am unable to summon assistance for you in most areas, Agents. The situation here is too dangerous and we cannot risk our precious airmen without a guarantee of safety.

Type 97Not even a little?

DimaI am very sorry. Please do your best to reach the Dark Zone and fire the signal flare once the mission is complete. The chopper will take everyone to safety.

SpringfieldDon't make things difficult for Dima, 97. We need to find a place to have a rest. Whew... we managed to escape battle, at least.

Type 97Our gear isn't fantastic either. I wasn't confident in our chances of winning against them just now. Good thing Springfield and that last Molotov helped us out!

AA-12Where's the next safe house? I want to lie down for a bit, I was so tense earlier that I feel like throwing up now. They were a strange bunch, though. If Springfield hadn't stopped me, I'd have chopped them all to bits.

Type 97Well, you can't choose to chop them up in the game, only shoot them. But you were basically spacing out back then, weren't you?

AA-12I was taking screenshots, and by the time I looked back they already had you in their sights.

Gr MP7...You were taking screenshots?! When our lives were at stake?!

AA-12It's called enjoying the game, Gr MP7. The screenshots I took came out awesome.

Gr MP7I'd rather charge outside right now and take on all the mobs out there on my own than look at your stupid screenshots.

Type 97Let me see! Are we cool? Wow, this angle is great! I'm going to toggle to burst shooting when I run into something like this next time!

AA-12I took a bunch of pictures, everyone's in them. This one is of Gr MP7 leaving during the snowstorm, I'll edit it when I get back to make it look even better.

Type 97This one looks cool too. Was it when Springfield stopped us from shooting? Ah, Gr MP7's there too.

AA-12Yep, it was one second before that flashbang. She looked like she was going to ambush them from behind. I liked the steely look in her eyes, so I decided to screenshot it too.

Gr MP7...Could I see?

AA-12"I'd rather charge outside right now...?"

Gr MP7Fine. I can easily handle those mobs all by myself.

Type 97I suppose only the strong can speak with such confidence! Come, Gr MP7, I'm going to give you a buff!

Gr MP7A what?

Type 97Once this ritual is complete, you will see through all falsehood and accurately comprehend all truths. I call it, "Eye of the Snow Wolf"!

Gr MP7This is just mineral water, right? I can't believe you used your description for it as a buff name...

Type 97And what's wrong with that? As long as it works, it works. Don't sweat the small stuff.

Gr MP7Fair enough. This buff is really handy. Give me some of that water, soda, chocolate and canned rations.

SpringfieldHm? You didn't mean it when you said you would take on those people on your own, so please don't force yourself. There are many dangerous players outside right now and strange local cops as well... We'd better go together.

Gr MP7Sure. I don't mind moving in a group.

Gr MP7I think there was some fighting in the area just now. I want to go take a look. Who knows, we might be able to mop up the survivors.

Type 97Spoken like a pro gamer! Wait for me, Gr MP7! I want to go too!

AA-12I'll go as well.

Two minutes later, Springfield and company arrive at the scene of the battle. An item gleams quietly on the ground.

SpringfieldThere's only one bottle of soda left... I guess they must have taken the other supplies. 97, you take this.

Type 97Sure thing! Although, they only left one bottle behind. Maybe their packs are full?

AA-12It's also possible that they just couldn't be bothered to take a single bottle of soda.

Type 97Aw, the poor thing. Just imagine, the entire city's gone mad and she's walking alone down the street, with calamities striking left and right and rioters running rampant... And as she shivers in the wind, her only companion is a dog.

Gr MP7Wait a minute, there are no dogs in this game, right? Don't go cutting them out of whole cloth.

Type 97But dogs are man's best friend! There MUST be a reason why this game doesn't have dogs in it! Perhaps the dog died to protect her before she reached this place. After using up all her supplies and without cold-weather clothing to keep herself warm, she must have been immersed in despair. But when she encountered an enemy in this place, it sparked her survival instinct! She thought, "even if I must die, I won't let myself die here! I'll struggle to the bitter end!"

AA-12And then she was shot dead by a well-armed and supplied opponent. A single bullet took this unfortunate girl's final hope.

Type 97Ah, how sad! M500 would cry if she heard that story. In order to remember this player, I'll save this bottle of soda for the last.

Gr MP7...It's really a shame you aren't writing scripts for that serialized manga artist who keeps posting on Grifchan.

Springfield(Chuckles) Your ideas are always so wild and fanciful, yet they have a ring of realism to them, 97.

Type 97Hehe, as they say, dare to dream but put one foot in front of the other!

SpringfieldIn any case, we must avoid running out of supplies and being undergeared. In order to prevent ourselves from going through the tragedy 97 described, we must seriously consider our battle strategy from now on.

AA-12Seriously... Just hearing that word makes me a little nervous. (Dry-heaves)

Gr MP7At least put more effort into that hurling act. What did you have in mind, Springfield? Could you go into a little more detail?

SpringfieldDima, is there a way to quickly acquire supplies? Are there stockpiles we can raid or perhaps enemies who guard supply caches?

DimaThe local landmarks are usually occupied by tough enemies. They possess large quantities of supplies and they have excellent equipment. If you could defeat them, you'd be able to obtain plenty of supplies and very good gear in one go.

Gr MP7So you want us to challenge the landmark bosses?

SpringfieldThat way we won't need to fight with the other players but still be able to quickly gather items.

Type 97Oh! We have enough cold-resistant clothing and plenty of food, but we need to be sufficiently threatening. Therefore, the landmarks are the best choice for quickly upgrading our gear and ensuring we have enough supplies!

SpringfieldJust so. What does everyone else think?

AA-12I don't mind. Whatever you say, goes.

Gr MP7I don't mind either.

DimaTheir repeated victories have given these rioters great confidence, and fearless opponents are the toughest foes. Be careful, Agents.

With that, Squad Springfield moves out. Just as Dima said, many local landmarks have tough enemies nearby. The team members search for traces of the enemy and wipe them out, while also harvesting the items by the roadside and inside the buildings. After many battles, they manage to gather enough supplies to fill their backpacks. After checking the status of each others' inventories, they decide to rest their feet for a while in a certain safe house near the Dark Zone.

Type 97What— a— haul—! Those NPCs were soooo weak, I want to fight more of them!

Gr MP7If I hadn't shot one off your back, you'd be watching us from outside the game.

Type 97Thanks, Gr MP7. These battles are easy because we're working as a team. Has anyone taken stock of the supplies we've obtained?

SpringfieldHm... We have enough to upgrade everyone's gear to the maximum, with plenty left over.

Type 97Aren't I awesome? Praise me, praise me—

SpringfieldYes, you're amazing, Type 97. You too, AA-12 and Gr MP7. You truly are elite Dolls.

Gr MP7No need to praise me. I'm a genius. This was only to be expected.

AA-12Ohhhh, there it is, "Springfield's Energizing Praise", as mentioned on Radio Kalina. But yeah, I was just doing my job... Still, now that we've gotten all this stuff, does that mean we won't be taking the other resources outside? Don't we have enough in our packs?

SpringfieldWe'll only take the best gear and weapons. Don't let these useless weapons take up your inventory space. Also, dump the excess ammo. That way we'll have enough space in our backpacks.

AA-12You're the boss. Still, it's not good to leave these weapons lying around, right? Why don't we make a few more weapons that we don't load, but instead just carry on ourselves?

Type 97Sounds awesome! I'm going to carry eight of them as a super bulletproof vest.

SpringfieldHm...That might turn out to be surprisingly effective. We'll do that, then. Have we cleared out all the food and medicine in this area?

Type 97Nothing spotted by the Eye of the Snow Wolf has been left behind!

SpringfieldGood. Once our equipment is made, we'll sweep the surrounding streets one more time and then we'll enter the Dark Zone. We might be late that way, but ample preparation will give us a more stable path to victory.

DimaI'm sure the mission will be successful with an agent squad that boasts such meticulous planning and excellent overall ability. But don't relax just because you've been praised. No matter how perfectly you prepare, there's still a chance you might fail until the mission is actually completed.

Type 97Yes, yes, we know. This Dima's as naggy as a mom.

After organizing their equipment, the squad leaves the safe house and begins a carpet search of the surroundings.

Type 97There really are no more players harassing us.

Gr MP7That's because we look super badass at a glance, right? Or maybe we look like complete weirdos running around covered in guns.

Type 97In any case, we just need to find the surrounding landmarks and stuff our packs full, then hurry over to the Dark Zone!

AA-12I bet the Dark Zone will look cooler than this. I hope I get the chance to take screenshots.

Gr MP7You're waiting for a chance to take screenshots? The screenshot sound has never stopped throughout our battles.

AA-12Well, we've never been in real danger so far. From what we know, the Dark Zone is way more dangerous than this place.

Gr MP7A real threat, hm. I don't feel like anything here could threaten a Doll, though.

Just then, a mournful howl cuts through the snowstorm, echoes down the streets, and reaches the group.

???P—P—9—0—

Type 97Huh, that sounds like a cry of utter despair. Something must have happened over there. I want to go over and see what's going on.

AA-12I didn't hear any gunshots. If it's not a big firefight, we should go take a look.

SystemX Not A Wig They're Drills died of hunger.

Gr MP7...Springfield.

SpringfieldWhat is it? Are you hungry?

Gr MP7No. Look up ahead. There's a light in that street we searched... It's the light of an item drop. Someone died there, and it's probably...

Gr MP7 pauses. It seems she's having trouble stating the username of the player in question.

Gr MP7...The light is from "Not A Wig They're Drills" .

Type 97Pfffft.

Gr MP7What kind of weird username is that, anyway? In any case, do you want to go take a look? There might be other supplies we can take.

SpringfieldYou've been calling the shots all this time. Nobody's decision would be more reliable than yours. Let's go take a look.

The four of them carefully approach the location of the light. As the wind dies down, the landscape comes into view around them. A girl with short silver hair is kneeling on the ground, frozen as she embraces nothing but thin air. The light of an item pack shines through her palms and forehead, quietly bridging heaven and earth.

Type 97Is that Vector? It looks like her. But the heaviness in the air... Could it be that...

Gr MP7Do you have any idea what's going on?

Type 97Look, Gr MP7. She's a very alert Doll, but now she has her back to us and she is completely oblivious to us whispering to each other at such close range! There's no smoke without fire. This can only mean one thing.

Gr MP7You're saying that she can't move because of some kind of negative status?

Type 97No. Miss Springfield said that we were a squad founded on mutual trust. She must have shot a friend by accident, and she's shedding tears for her even as she's looting her stuff!

Type 97Why are you looking at me like that again?!

Gr MP7Drill Girl died of starvation.

Type 97Then it means all the supplies were with Drill Girl, so Vector didn't notice she was low on food. Although they were out of ammo and rations, Drill Girl, the resource keeper, kept it a secret all this time and constantly encouraged Vector with her positivity, giving her all the resources, until she starved to death herself...

Gr MP7...Honey Badger must have had a bad influence on me, because I'm actually buying the stuff you BS-ed up. Springfield, should we ambush her? That way we'll have two backpacks we can plunder.

SpringfieldShh... Let's go.

Gr MP7We're not taking them?

SpringfieldIt would be a shame to disturb the mood over there. A death in a game is still a death, and they must have been really close after going through thick and thin together... So let's go. There's an entire street of resources to collect, and we don't have much time.

Gr MP7While I don't quite agree with that... You're the boss, and what you say, goes.

Gr MP7 puts her gun away and walks off.

SpringfieldPain will surely let you get more into the game, Vector... May we meet in the Dark Zone, if all goes well.

With that, Squad Springfield vanishes into the snowstorm once more.

... In Griffin. As PP-90 leaves the game, some Dolls sigh, while others cheer.

Doll A(Sniffles) Vivi and PP-90 have such a touching bond...

Doll BWeren't you still calling her Vector yesterday?

Doll AI now know that she's cold on the outside but warm on the inside! I want to be her friend and lie in her arms and have her look at me...

Doll B...You should start by curing your habit of falling for pretty girls at the drop of a hat.

KalinaOh, what a shame, Squad Vivi has suffered its first casualty! Meanwhile, Squad Springfield is steadily growing under Springfield's management skills, Gr MP7's great fighting ability and the wholehearted support of the other two members. With a chipped blade on one hand and a solid shield on the other, as well as the unique styles of all the other teams, everyone is converging toward a meetup in the Dark Zone!

Dolls(Cheering)

KalinaWho will be the first into the Dark Zone, and who will be the final victor? Perhaps today's boldness and ambition will win you a landed home in a White Zone tomorrow! Come, don't hesitate, everyone! Turn your accurate guess into an investment, don't wait until the moment of truth to regret your indecision! Come, come, bet big and win big!

43-C-3 春田小队支线3

0019 hours, Lexington Avenue. Squad Springfield has just finished hunting down the landmark bosses. After watching the collapse of the tall figure shining with golden light, AA-12 puts her gun away and approaches it with Type 97 to gather the spoils.0点19分 莱辛顿大道。 此刻，春田小队对地标boss的狩猎已经到了尾声。 看着闪着金光的高大人影轰然倒下，AA12收起枪，和97式一起靠近去收缴物资。

DimaVery good, Agents. Carry on at this pace. Ample preparations and a careful attitude will bring you closer to success.很好，特工。 保持这个势头前进吧，充足的准备和慎重的态度，会让你们更接近成功。

Gr MP7Springfield told us to leave the ammo, but if other players pick up the gear we leave behind, it'll be a threat to us.春田说留下弹药，但是这些装备留下被别的玩家捡到的话，只会是我们的威胁。

Gr MP7We'll take it all, then. Besides, it's not like Springfield will go through our backpacks.那就都带上好啦，反正春田也不会来翻我们的背包。

AA-12We've taken out the boss over here. How are things on your end?我们这里的boss已经消灭了，你们那边状况如何？

Gr MP7I've gotten rid of the enemies over here. Currently stocking up until my backpack is full, like Springfield said. Shall we pick a place to meet up?我这边的敌人消灭了，按春田之前说的，装到背包快满出来为止。 那么约个地方，我们会面？

SpringfieldHm... We haven't found one of the local bosses yet, but I think we ought to go on in. From what I can tell, there happens to be an entrance to the Dark Zone near the last boss. I'll send you the coordinates, so let's meet there.呼……虽然还有一个地区boss没有找到，但是我们的确差不多该进去了。 根据推测，最后一个boss附近刚好就能进入暗区。我把坐标发给你们，就在这个位置会合吧。

Gr MP7Roger. See you later.收到，待会儿见。

Several minutes later, the four members of Squad Springfield meet at the appointed location.

SpringfieldWe'll wait another minute. If the boss hasn't turned up by then, we'll just enter the Dark Zone. We can't delay any longer.再等一分钟，如果boss还没有出现，我们就直接进暗区。已经不能再拖了。

Type 97Why don't we use this minute to stroll around the surroundings, then? If we run into it, we'll open fire right away to get everyone's attention.那不如我们就用这一分钟在周围转转吧？ 万一谁遇到了，就立刻开火吸引其他人过去。

SpringfieldThat's a good idea.好主意。

Type 97See you later, then! ...Er, wait! Don't go yet, guys! Look over there. That pile of stuff... Am I seeing things?那就待会儿见啦！ ……诶，等等。大家先别走！ 看看那边，那边那堆东西……我没看错吧？

AA-12...I can't quite believe my eyes, but you're onto something. Why is there such a big pile of explosives over here?……虽然不敢置信，但你应该没看错呢。 怎么会有这么多爆炸物放在这里？

Gr MP7It would be very bad if they went off. Even with maxed out gear, it'd still be game over, right?要是炸开的话情况会很不妙啊。 就算是堆到最高级别的装等，也会在一秒内就登出游戏吧？

SpringfieldIt's just too dangerous.太危险了。

Type 97Yes, it's very dangerous... Springfield, why are you still going over there?确实太危险了……春田，你怎么还要去啊？

SpringfieldSomeone might get hurt if we left these things over here. We need to clear them up!这些东西放在这里可能会危害到其他人，我们得把这些都收好才行！

Gr MP7Just leaving it there is bad. We should take away as much as we can carry. If there were anyone else nearby, a single shot could blow us all up.放在这里总归不好，能带走多少就带走多少吧。 万一有其他人在这附近，只要一枪就能把所有人都轰上天。

SpringfieldYou're right. We should take as much as we can.你说得对，尽量都带上吧。

AA-12You managed to persuade Springfield easily enough, Gr MP7.轻易地说服了春田啊，MP7。

Type 97All right! Time to clean things out... I mean, clean things up!好耶！让我们来一场大扫荡……咳，大扫除吧！

Having reached a consensus, everyone starts to organize and gather the items.

Type 97Hm... I'm running out of backpack space. I can't take all of it even if I hung it all over me...嗯……背包剩下的地方不多了啊。 就算挂在身上也拿不完……

AA-12I'm ditching some of the Molotovs.我把一部分燃烧弹放下了。

Type 97Makes sense, these are way handier than the Molotovs. I'll ditch a few pieces of gear myself.也是，这可比燃烧弹好使多了！那我也丢几个装备吧。

The terrain here is uneven. The Molotovs that 97 puts down roll across the ground.这里的地形并不平整，被97放在地上的燃烧弹咕噜噜滚了出去。

???What was that... Who-who's there? Who is it? State your name!什么动静……谁，谁在附近？ 是谁，报上名来！

Type 97Huh? Is someone else here?诶，这儿还有别人？

AA-12We came from the east. If there's someone behind the west wall, we wouldn't have seen her.我们都是从东边过来的，西边墙后面要是有人的话，我们的确看不到。

Type 97Has the Eye of the Snow Wolf failed us?!雪狼之眼也看不见吗？！

Gr MP7The wall was too thick, so we couldn't see through it. In any case, prepare for a fight.墙隔得太厚了，看不见。 不管怎么说，做好战斗准备吧。

The crisp sound of high heels treading across the ground approaches. Within seconds, a blonde-haired Doll storms up and stands before Squad Springfield.

A-91You... What are you doing?! That's my stuff! Put it down! Put it ALL down!你们……你们在干什么？！ 这些是我的东西，给我放下！全部放下！

Type 97Who do you think you are? You think something is yours just because you say it is? We found it first, and it was all over the ground, like someone had been blown up.你也太蛮横了吧，说是你的就是你的啊？ 我还说是我们先发现的呢，乱七八糟摊一地，和被人炸过似的。

A-91Hah?哈？

SpringfieldHang on, let me handle this.等等，这件事让我来处理吧。

Type 97Why don't you just shoot her...一枪干掉不就好了……

Despite her grumbling, Type 97 nevertheless falls back with the other two and lets Springfield handle the situation. Upon seeing Springfield, A-91 hesitates, and her finger eases off the trigger of her gun.虽然嘟囔着，但97式仍然和另外两人一起退后几步，让春田来处理目前的事件。 看到春田出现，A91犹豫了一下，稍微松开了扣着扳机的手。

SpringfieldPlease relax. These explosives were a mess, so we were simply helping you tidy them up.请放松一点。这些爆炸物摆得太乱了，我们在帮忙整理，仅此而已。

A-91You were tidying them up? Are you idiots or do you think I'm an idiot?帮忙整理？你们是笨蛋，还是你们当我是笨蛋？

SpringfieldMy apologies, but we have no hostile intent. However, your equipment doesn't seem to be very good. Entering the Dark Zone like this might be risky for you.抱歉，但我们没有敌意。 不过，你的装备看起来不太好呢。这样的装备要进入暗区的话，反而会增加风险。

A-91What are you trying to say?你想说什么？

SpringfieldI propose a trade. We have plenty of medicine and food here, as well as a fair bit of excess gear. I wish to exchange these vital resources with you for some of these explosives. What do you think?我们来做一次物资交易吧。我们这里有很充足的药品和食物，装备盈余也不少。 我想用这些能维系生命的物资和你换一些爆炸物，你觉得怎么样？

A-91I don't really care. I found them first, so why should I give them to you? Plus, we're all out to kill each other here, so why should I believe you're proposing a fair trade?我觉得不怎么样。这些都是我先发现的，凭什么给你们？ 而且，大家都是来杀人的，我凭什么相信你是互惠互利？

SpringfieldHm... It does seem quite hard to believe. I understand how you must feel. However, if we really wanted to, wouldn't it have been better for us to simply ambush you?嗯……的确很难相信呢，我能理解你的想法。 但是，如果我们想要做的话，偷袭你不是更好的做法吗？

A-91It wouldn't because I'm alert and on my guard!那是因为我够警戒！

SpringfieldIt is also because we honestly had no intention of attacking you in the first place. The real battle is in the Dark Zone. If we wear each other down here, we won't be able to experience the most important content of the game.同时也是因为我们没有想过要蓄意袭击你。 真正的战斗在暗区里，如果在这里互相消耗的话，最重要的游戏内容就体验不到了。

A-91The most important content... True, if I don't enter the Dark Zone...最重要的游戏内容……的确，要是不去暗区的话……

SpringfieldWe are not enemies, at least not out here. Winning is the most important thing, is it not? Now is not the time for us to fight with all our might. We need to survive.我们不是敌人，至少在这里不是。 求胜是最重要的，不是吗？现在还不到我们拼尽全力战斗的时候。活下去才是最重要的。

A-91... Humph, even so...…… 哼，就算这样……

SpringfieldYou can think about it, but there isn't much time left. Our progression speed will be affected if we don't enter the Dark Zone as soon as possible, so dragging this out is no good for us.你可以考虑一下，但是时间已经不多了。 如果不能尽快进入暗区的话，我们的发育速度都会被影响。再拖下去对我们都没有好处。

As Springfield is negotiating with A-91, the other three are starting to get restless.

Gr MP7What are the chances we can take her out in one hit from this distance?这个距离下，一枪击杀她的可能性有多大？

Type 97Not high. Without using a scope, I might have to dump an entire mag to be sure.很难，不开镜的话可能得一梭子才能干掉她。

Gr MP7Isn't that a good thing? Why don't you go up and do just that?那不是很好吗，你怎么不上去给她一梭子了？

Type 97I'm not dumb, you know. She's carrying grenades and there are explosives everywhere. If we don't take her out in one shot, we'll be dead before we can even begin to run. Springfield must be negotiating with her because she thought about that.我又不是傻。她身上有榴弹啊，这附近都是爆炸物，一发搞不定的话，我们跑不出去就全完了。 春田肯定是想到这个才去谈的。

Gr MP7No wonder you managed to survive until now. I've underestimated you.难怪你能活到现在，低估你了。

AA-12Still, I don't think she's the type who'll listen to reason... Right, I've decided. If the negotiations don't work out, I'll give up right away, return her stuff and walk away.但是我觉得这个人不像是能听进去人话的样子……我决定了，谈不成我就立刻投降，东西还给她转头就走。

Type 97How can you do that?!那怎么行！

AA-12I want to enter the Dark Zone and not fool around here.我想先进暗区，不想在这里玩了。

Type 97True, it's getting a little late. Tell you what, come over and give me some cover, AA-12.确实有点晚了。不如这样，AA12，你过来一点，把我挡住。

AA-12What are you up to?要做什么？

Type 97I'm going to steal some of the items while Springfield is dragging things out. That way, even if we abandon the supplies, we'll come out on top.趁着春田拖时间，我偷偷先带一点走。 这样就算你们放弃物资，我们也还是赚的。

Gr MP7You'll get caught, you idiot.会被发现的吧，笨蛋。

Type 97You won't know until you try!试试嘛！

AA-12Fine, I'll block you for a bit.好吧，我挡着你一点。

Type 97Sweet! Please, Springfield, delay her for just a little longer...好！拜托了，春田，再拖一会儿……

While A-91 is being distracted by Springfield's words, Type 97 clutches the explosives she's holding tightly to her chest and begins tiptoeing off towards the Dark Zone. However, she suddenly feels a keen gaze fall on her, and a shout from A-91 soon follows.趁着A91被春田的话术牵制住，97式把怀里的爆炸物又抱紧了一些，转头轻手轻脚地往暗区方向撤离。 然而就在这时，她忽然觉得一道锐利的目光落在身上，A91的怒吼声随之响起。

A-91You, Twintails! Put my stuff down!那边那个双马尾的！把我的物资给我放下！

Type 97Ah! She spotted me! But how? I was really careful, wasn't I?啊，被发现了！怎么会，我明明已经很小心了啊？

A-91Did you think I wouldn't notice your little stunt just because I look drunk? This is my normal working state! The more drunk I am, the keener my senses are.你以为我看起来醉醺醺的就发现不了你的小动作了吗？ 这才是我正常的工作状态！越是沉迷于酒精，我的感知就越敏锐。

Type 97But that's water you're holding, right?可你手里的明明就是水吧？

Gr MP7Just because you're acting all sneaky and stuff doesn't mean people really won't notice you... (Sighs). There's four of us. We'll win if it comes to a straight fight.又不是摆出一副鬼鬼祟祟的样子就真的不会被人看到……唉。 我们有四个人，就算正面打起来也一定会赢。

A-91Put my stuff down and leave and I might let you off.放下我的东西滚远一点，我还可以放过你们。

Gr MP7Also, why do you have so many explosives piled up here? Are you going to blow yourself up?且不说谁的物资问题，你在这里堆这么多爆炸物做什么？送自己上天？

A-91Do you not take out your weapons to kill someone? Or do you beat them to death with your backpack, you moron?杀人的时候不掏武器，难道你用背包杀人吗，笨蛋。

Gr MP7Kill someone? Who?杀人？杀谁？

A-91Not you. Be glad.不是你，庆幸吧。

Springfield frowns. She takes a step forward and shoots Gr MP7 a glance, telling her to back off. However, Gr MP7 doesn't get the message and keeps glaring at A-91.春田皱起眉头，往前走了一步，眼神暗示MP7停下来。但MP7并没有接收到信号，只是盯着A91。

Gr MP7If you're prepared to kill someone, then you should be prepared to have your trap taken down.有想杀人的心，总也要有陷阱被拆掉的觉悟吧。

A-91What, you're going to lecture me? Think about who has the upper hand now!轮得到你教育我吗？搞清楚，现在是谁在掌握主导权！

Gr MP7Are you sure you're not misunderstanding something? If it comes to a fight, you'll die before us.你是不是搞错了什么？ 就算开战，你也一定会比我们先死。

SpringfieldGr MP7! Don't provoke her.MP7！不要刺激她。

A-91Oh?! You think I'm scared just because there's more of you? I won't go before I get rid of her! These are the components for the trap I'm setting up. Don't even think of getting away with any of them.啊——？！你们觉得人多我就会怕了吗？ 没弄死那家伙之前，我是绝对不会走的！这是我绝地翻盘的资本，休想拿走一分。

AA-12...What a pain.……麻烦了啊。

SpringfieldBut how can we be certain that you'll let us go if we put down those items? Like you said, we've already stepped into your trap, haven't we?但我们又怎么能保证，如果我们放下这些物资，你就一定会放我们走呢？ 就像你说的，我们天然在这个陷阱里，不是吗？

A-91You know this and you STILL want to talk terms with me? I am the ruler of this place! I am the Abzolut god of vodka!所以你还想和我谈条件？我就是这里的主宰！ 我是绝对的伏特加之神！

Gr MP7AA-12 was right, she's a total drunkard and impervious to reason.AA12说对了，这个人像个醉鬼，根本不讲道理。

Type 97If only there was a way to talk this over... Hey, look, behind A-91... What's that in the fog?总觉得没法好好谈嘛，不然还是…… 诶，你们看A91后面……雾里面的那个是什么？

AA-12It looks like the landmark boss we didn't find earlier... I'll head over to take care of him now.好像是我们之前没找到的那个地标boss……我现在去把它解决掉吧。

A-91Hey, that super insomniac over there! Where the hell do you think you're going with my stuff?!那个熬夜十天的，给我站住！你想带我的物资去哪儿？

AA-12There's an enemy behind you! Are you drunk on water or something?后面有敌人啊，你喝水喝醉了吗？

As the enemy approaches, even Springfield's expression grows severe.眼看着敌人逐渐接近，春田也不得不严肃起来。

SpringfieldA-91, please listen to me... Right now, we're all in front of you and nobody is out of your sight, right? There's a boss coming behind you. Let's put our differences aside for now and kill the boss before we continue this discussion, okay?A91，请听我说……这次我们都在你正面，没有人离开你的视野，对吗？ 现在boss过来了，我们先放下矛盾，杀掉这个boss，然后再来内部争论，好吗？

A-91Really? Do you think I'm an idiot? Who knows how many people you have in your team? And why should I believe a word of what you're saying when you tried a trick like that on me just now?!哈？你把我当笨蛋吗？谁知道你们队到底有多少人？ 刚刚就用这种伎俩调开我，现在谁会相信你的鬼话！

SpringfieldBut he really IS walking up behind you, listen to the footsteps... He's holding a Molotov cocktail. It's dangerous to stay here.但是他真的要走到你背后了，你听脚步声…… 他拿着燃烧弹，在这个地方很危险。

Type 97A Molotov? According to my intel, the nearby boss doesn't have Molotovs.燃烧弹？按照情报，这附近的那个Boss没有配备燃烧弹啊。

Type 97...Wait a minute, was it the one I dropped just now?……等等，是我刚才丢下的？！

Gr MP7I am SO going to beat the crap out of you when we get out of here, Type 97. Not even 95 will stop me. Tsk! Get ready to fight!这次出去我一定要揍你，97式，就算95来了也拦不住。 啧，准备战斗！

A-91You there, the pink-haired one! Put your gun down! If you point it at me again I'll set everything off!粉头发的，你给我把枪放下！ 你敢再用枪对着我，我立刻就引爆这堆东西！

AA-12Crap, there's a devil up ahead and the deep blue sea beyond... Can we try for an assault?糟糕了，前有狼，再前面有虎…… 能强攻吗？

Type 97There's no reasoning with this woman, if we try to launch an attack, she'll set everything off...这个女人根本不可理喻，强攻的话她就立刻引爆……

While they have been arguing, the enemy has drawn close. The sound of heavy footfalls echoes up and down the street, resounding in everyone's eardrums. A-91 hears it too, but she's too focused on the four people in front of her to look away.在争论之间，敌人靠近了。沉重的脚步声回荡在街道上，敲击着每个人形的耳膜。 A91显然也察觉到了不对，但顾忌着面前的四个人，她不敢挪开目光。

Gr MP7You idiot, this is the last time I'm going to warn you. Let's put our differences aside for now and take care of that guy before we argue about what belongs to who!笨蛋，我警告你最后一遍。先休战，打完这东西再吵物资是谁的！

A-91Who are you calling an idiot?!你说谁是笨蛋？！

A red blast circle appears below A-91's feet, as if to prove Gr MP7's words. Although A-91 takes cover immediately, she still loses a big chunk of HP. As she watches her HP bar shrink, A-91's alcohol-soaked patience finally snaps.仿佛为了响应MP7的话语，红色的爆炸圈出现在A91脚下。尽管A91立刻往旁边躲去，她仍然被炸掉了大半条血。 看着骤跌的HP条，A91浸泡在酒精中的神经终于彻底断线。

A-91AK-47 (hic) abandoned me here and put me in a humiliating situation, then you tried to pull a cheap stunt on me, and now even the enemy's bullying me! If I can't enjoy the game, then neither will you! Time to die!AK47把我……嗝……丢在这里，那家伙还让我丢脸……你们拿低级的招数忽悠我，就连敌人也故意欺负我！ 我没有游戏体验，你们也休想有！全给我上天吧！

SpringfieldWait, we can give you...等等，我们可以分出补……

A-91Shut up! I'm not playing this stupid game anymore!闭嘴！老娘不玩了！

A-91 opens fire without letting Springfield finish. Springfield throws herself aside, and the bullets all strike the explosives piled up behind her.不等春田再说什么，A91悍然开火。春田匆忙闪避，子弹全数打在了她身后堆积着的爆炸物上。

SpringfieldOh no...糟糕……

Squad Springfield turns and flees, but it is already too late.春田小队转头就跑，然而为时已晚。

A-91DIE!全给我上天吧！！

AA-12Meh, might as well screenshot this too.啊，算了，截个图留念吧。

SystemX Honey Muffin died from an explosion. X Chain Charge 81 died from an explosion. X Dazzling Mouse Tamer died from an explosion. X Candy Cannon died from an explosion. X Abzolut Vodka died from an explosion.

0006 hours, Parking Garage No. 560. After an intense battle, a figure steps over the corpses littering the ground and plants a foot on the roof of the car in the middle of the parking garage.0:06，560号停车场。 一番激战后，一个身影踏过满地尸体，登上停车场中央的汽车顶部。

M870Ahahahahaha! We're here! Are you ready, you Manhattan bitches?!哈哈哈哈哈哈！我们来了！ 曼哈顿的蠢蛋们，准备好了吗？

P7Your entrance makes you look like some kind of villain...你这登场方式，搞得像是什么邪恶的反派一样……

ART556Hehe, games without villains are boring! ♪嘿嘿，没有反派的游戏可是乐趣全无啊♪

A pair of petite figures follow closely behind and climb onto the car as well, with some effort.两个娇小的身影紧随其后，有些吃力地爬上汽车。

M870Stop! Your lines! Why are you going off the script again?! While I know the two of you don't have much in the way of neural cloud capacity, don't you think yours is ridiculously low? It's just a few lines and we've rehearsed them so many times, so why can't you remember them?!停——台词啊台词！你们怎么又擅自改台词？！ 虽然早就想到你们俩的心智云图存储量不会太大，但是你们这也狭小得过分了吧？ 就这么几句台词，排练了这么多遍还是记不住？！

P7That's not it, Boss. It's just that the lines you came up with were super embarrassing...不是啊，大哥，你设计的台词实在是太羞耻了……

ART556Don't worry about it, let's skip the entrance scene and begin our invasion of Manhattan!算了吧，让我们跳过登场秀，开始攻略曼哈顿！

The Dolls look in the direction where ART556 is pointing. Before them stands Underground Parking Garage No. 560, from early 21st century.顺着ART556手指的方向，21世纪初的曼哈顿560号地下停车场尽收于三个人形的眼中。

P7Huh, so this is a parking garage from 50 years ago? Looks just like Griffin's underground warehouse...嚯，几十年前的停车场就这？ 看着跟格里芬的地下仓库一样……

ART556How should I put this... It's got a very historical feeling to it...该怎么说呢？真是很有历史感啊……

M870Quit being picky, ladies. Do you know how many years you'd have to work just to afford a lot in a place like this?别挑剔了，两位大小姐，这里一个车位都不知道你们要做牛做马多少年才买得起。

ART556Why would anyone want to buy a space in a shoddy place like this?!谁要花钱买这种破破烂烂的地方啊！

P7Boss M870, this game's been around for a long time, are you sure there'll be other players?M870大哥，这游戏距今很久了诶，你确定除了我们，还会有人吗？

M870Of course! Didn't I pull you guys in here so we could have fun being the Manhattan Posse?当然！我把你们拉进来，不就是为了组成曼哈顿巡警队好好玩一玩？

ART556Hehe, I had a bunch of plans earlier, but I abandoned them and came here just for this. It's all so I can enjoy being a Manhattan cop!哼哼，我可是放下了刚准备好的计划，特意跑来这里的。 就是为了在游戏里好好过一把曼哈顿警察的瘾！

P7We get to mess around while pretending to be part of the Manhattan PD! ♪ But are we seriously not going to consider fighting for the prize?可以假装曼哈顿警察到处撒野了♪ 奖金什么的，我们真的不考虑争取一下吗？

M870What do you mean "pretending"? Mind your language! Being able to get the prize money is good, but our main goal here is having fun! ♪ Besides, you'll have fine money coming out of your ears as long as you hang with me! Hehehehe...什么假装？注意你的言辞！能拿到奖金当然更好，但我们的主要目的还是为了找乐子嘛♪ 再说了，跟着大哥我混，光是收罚金就能收到手软！嘿嘿嘿嘿……

P7That's right! Money's not important, the point is to have fun! Hehehehe...没错！钱不钱的不重要，重要的是开心嘛！嘿嘿嘿嘿……

ART556Yep yep, so here's to jolly cooperation!是啊是啊，那就祝我们仨合作愉快！

ART556Hehehehe...嘿嘿嘿嘿……

With camaraderie in the air, the three Dolls high-five each other. However, the moment her back is turned, ART556 moves with blinding speed and plants a sticky bomb on P7's back.在一派和睦融洽的氛围中，三个人形互相击掌，笑容甜美。 但在转身的一瞬，ART556凭借惊人的手速将一枚粘性炸弹安在了P7的身后。

ART556Heehee, let's see how good you really are, P7.嘻嘻，P7，让我来看看你的实力吧。

P7Your reputation precedes you, ART556. I didn't expect I'd get the chance to work with you! Before this, I was actually kind of worried about going up against you in a prank war.ART556，我早就听说过你的盛名，没想到还有机会一起合作啊！ 之前，我还一直很担心会跟你进行什么整蛊王的对决呢。

ART556Hahahaha, then this must be fate. I'm looking forward to working together. ❤哈哈哈哈，这就是缘分吧，很期待接下来的合作哦❤

M870Fate? If I hadn't pulled you two in here, you'd probably be splashing around in a mud puddle somewhere.缘分？要不是我想方设法把你们俩搞进来，你俩现在还不知道在哪玩泥巴呢。

P7Yep, it's all thanks to you, Boss M870!是啊，这都是多亏了M870大哥呢！

ART556Thank you, Boss M870. In order to celebrate our encounter, I'm going to share some food I just found with everyone!谢谢M870大哥，为了庆祝我们的相遇，我要把我刚捡的食物分享给大家！

ART556I left it at the garage's entrance, so wait for me here...我放在停车场入口了，你们等等我……

P7Awesome!好耶！

P7 can tell that something is off.P7隐隐觉出了危险的气息。

P7I'll go get it with you!我陪你一起去拿啊！

ART556N-no need for that! I can manage by myself!不、不用了！我自己就可以！

P7Aw, why so stiff? We're all from the same team, aren't we...?别跟我客气嘛！大家都是一个小队的了……

ART556 tries to jump off the car roof and flee, but P7 has a death grip on her. ART556 tries to hide her remote control with one hand and deal with P7's tugging with the other, and the struggle soon grows heated.ART556想要跳下车顶逃跑，却被P7死死拉住。 ART556一只手攥着遥控器，一只手应付P7的拉扯，战况逐渐焦灼了起来。

ART556P7! It isn't much, so stay here and keep the Boss company!P7！东西不多，你在这陪大哥聊聊天啊！

P7Nonsense! It's dangerous to go alone...你这说的什么话！一个人去拿多危险啊……

M870The hell are you two doing? Indulging in sisterly kinship in front of me?你们俩干啥呢？搁我面前玩姐妹情深？

Trapped between the two of them, M870 separates the pair impatiently. During the course of the struggle, ART556's remote lands on the roof of the car. The air grows still in an instant.被夹在中间的M870不耐烦地拉开两人。 拉扯间，ART556的遥控器落在了车顶。 空气瞬间凝滞。

ART556... Oh no!…… 完了！

P7... Not bad, ART556! You work fast!…… 好你个ART556！下手挺快啊！

M870The heck is this?这啥啊？

Before M870 can finish speaking, P7 and ART556 are already lunging for the remote control. Bonk— That's the sound of two foreheads colliding.M870话音未落，P7和ART556已经同时弯腰冲向了遥控器。 砰——是两颗头颅碰撞的巨响。

Shortly after that, the three Dolls end up locked in a big ball and roll off the car roof.紧接着，三个人形纠缠成一团滚下了车顶。

P7Uwah—呜哇——

ART556Owowowow...痛痛痛……

Through dazed eyes, ART556 notices that the sticky bomb is now stuck to the car window.透过满眼金星，ART556注意到粘性弹被卡在了车窗上。

ART556As long as I can recover the sticky bomb before anyone notices, the whole thing will be over!只要趁没人发现时回收了粘性弹，这件事就结束了！

M870Was it worth scuffling over a trinket like this? Is there catnip in there or something?就这么个小玩意儿，值得你们俩争得头破血流吗？ 难道里面装的是木天蓼？

M870 fiddles with the remote control in her hand.M870把玩着手中的遥控器。

ART556Huh?啊？

P7Wait, that's—等等！那是——

M870 picks herself up and presses the remote control nonchalantly...M870从地上爬起来，轻蔑地按下了遥控器……

...At the same time, outside the parking garage.……同一时间，停车场外。

A-91Hey, I've got something awesome to tell you guys...喂，我有件厉害的事想告诉你们……

VSK-94...You won another free bottle?……你又中了再来一瓶吗？

VSK-94 looks over at AK-47, not understanding what's going on.VSK94不解地望向AK47。

AK-47According to the map, if we want to go to the Dark Zone, we'll have to go...根据地图，要前往暗区的话，接下来……

SKSIt's still so far off?! You're planning to have your trump card here walk all this way to get to the battlefield?!还有这么远！居然想让本王牌步行这么长的距离抵达战场？！

AK-47THAT'S the entire length of Manhattan Island! THIS is where we...你比划的距离是整个曼哈顿的纵长！这里才是我们……

AK-47 and SKS are feuding about the route they're going to take.AK47正在和西蒙诺夫争论接下来的路程安排。

VSK-94So what's the problem?有什么问题吗？

A-91Look closely at AK-47's hand...你仔细看，AK47的手……

VSK-94 focuses her attention on the finger that AK-47 is resting on the map.VSK94的目光聚焦在了AK47停放在地图上的手指。

AK-47Given our progress so far, I estimate we'll take another 8 hours to get there.按我们目前的进度来看，预计还需8小时才能到。

SKS...Then we'll have to pick up the pace! Otherwise, the others will have the upper hand by the time we get there!……那看来要加快脚步了！ 不然等我们到了，其他人肯定已经占据优势了！

AK-47Da! A-91, VSK-94, we're going to pick up the pace!是啊！A91，VSK94，我们要加快速度了！

VSK-94Alright, no problem.好的，没问题。

SKSComrades! Onward, to victory!同志们，让我们一起向着胜利前进！

AK-47 holds her head up high and marches into the bone-chilling wind. SKS dips her head to take another mouthful of soda.迎着刺骨的寒风，AK47昂首挺胸地向前走去。 西蒙诺夫仰头又喝了一瓶汽水。

SKSEh, the beer here is really watered down.哎，这边的酒兑水兑得真过分。

A-91Do you see it?你看见了吗？

VSK-94You're not trying to tell me...that AK-47 has extra fingers...are you?前辈该不会是想说……AK47的手指多了几根吧……

A-91Nononono, AK-47 is MISSING fingers! She only has five fingers on her hand! But look at me, I have eight fingers on mine!不不不，是AK47的手指少了几根！ 她的一只手只有五根手指！可是你看我，我的一只手上有八根手指！

Through her fingers, VSK-94 can see SKS wobbling over towards them.透过自己的手指，VSK94看见西蒙诺夫摇摇晃晃地向她们走来。

SKSAdvance! Advance! Advance toward the objective! Huh? How come you guys are ahead of me?前进！前进！朝着目标前进！ 诶，你们俩怎么走到我前面去了？

VSK-94... You were going the wrong way.…… 你走反了。

VSK-94 sighs heavily and drags SKS and A-91 along in an effort to catch up with AK-47.VSK94幽幽叹了口气，一手拉着西蒙诺夫，一手拎着A91，努力跟上了AK47。

...AK-47 suddenly comes to a halt outside the parking garage.……地下停车场入口处，AK47突然停下了脚步。

AK-47Hehe, this is it, Underground Parking Garage No. 560.哼哼，就是这里，560号地下停车场。

A-91Woohoo!呀吼！

SKSWe can ride in a car?!我们有车可以开了？！

AK-47If we can find a car, it'll greatly cut down the amount of time we spend on the road!如果我们能找到车的话，就能大幅缩减耗费在路上的时间了！

VSK-94I should point out that we haven't been able to drive any of the vehicles we've encountered so far.提醒一下，我们目前遇见的所有交通工具都不能驾驶。

AK-47Aw, don't just give up, you've gotta keep trying! Who knows, we might find a glorious steed for ourselves in there!别放弃希望，再试一试吧！ 说不定属于我们的荣耀坐骑就在前面！

VSK-94 peers into the gloomy entrance of the parking garage, then looks around again at her hyped-up teammates. Her high-speed neural cloud proceeds to envision countless scenarios where the group is wiped out, and VSK-94 sighs heavily.VSK94看看黑黢黢的地下停车场入口，再环视一圈亢奋的队友。 高速运转的心智云图瞬间预判出了无数种团灭的情况，VSK94深吸一口气。

VSK-94Let me do the scouting. Given our present condition, we probably won't be able to make it into the garage alive.让我去前面侦查吧。 以我们现在的状态，恐怕无法活到进入停车场。

AK-47It'll be fine! Look, it's all quiet down there. If you're worried, I'll chuck a bottle in and see if anything happens.不会啦！你看这下面一点声音都没有。 你要是还担心，我就扔个瓶子下去，看有没有什么反应。

VSK-94I don't think such a simple and crude method is suitable in this scenario...这么简单粗暴的方式也不适合用在这里吧……

AK-47 walks up to the slope leading to the garage entrance and rolls the bottle she just finished down the incline.沿着停车场入口的坡道，AK47刚喝光的瓶子畅通无阻地滚了下去……

AK-47See! There's noth—你看！这不是什么事都没——

SKSHow many times do I have to tell you, AK-47?! Don't go throwing your vodka bottles around!跟你说了多少遍了，AK47！ 不要乱扔酒瓶啊！

VSK-94It was a soda bottle..是汽水瓶……

A-91Hehe, the enemy's pretty lively! Looks like the battle's gotten very tricky. Make way and let me at 'em!哼哼，敌人的反应很激烈啊！ 这下战况变得棘手起来了嘛，你们都让开，让我先上！

A-91 takes out her knife and points it at the darkness below.A91拿出匕首，将锋利的刀刃对准入口下方的黑暗。

A-91You lot! Get out here right now!你们！都给我出来啊！

AK-47That's A-91 for you! Spirited as ever!不愧是A91！气势很足啊！

SKSGet them, A-91!上啊，A91！

VSK-94Senior! You're holding your scout firing knife the wrong way round! If you open fire like this...前辈！匕首枪拿反了啊！就这样开枪的话会……

VSK-94 immediately moves up to stop A-91, in the hopes of helping her correct her shooting posture.VSK94立刻上前制止A91，想要帮她纠正握枪的姿势。

VSK-94The NRS-2 should be held with the blade towards yourself...NRS-2的话应该刀刃向着自己……

SKSHey, rookie, it's really dangerous to get close to A-91 when she's fighting!喂，新人，在A91战斗的时候接近她可是很危险的！

AK-47What are you two grabbing each other for?! What if the enemies down there open fire on you while you're like this?你们扭打在一起干什么？！ 要是下面的敌人这时候开枪怎么办？

AK-47 and SKS insert themselves into the battle for A-91's knife.AK47和西蒙诺夫加入了抢夺匕首的战争。

AK-47Why are you grabbing my hand so hard?!你使那么大的劲抠我的手干嘛？！

VSK-94Just let me handle it! Stop getting in the way!我来就好，你们别来捣乱啊！

A-91You think you can take my knife because you've got numbers on your side? I've got a few more Molotov cocktails in reserve!以为占着人多的优势就能抢走我的匕首吗？ 我可还藏着一堆莫洛托夫鸡尾酒的！

SKSSpeaking of which, AK-47, what happened to that bottle you finished just now?说起来，AK47，你刚刚喝光的酒瓶呢？

AK-47It's over here...huh?在这啊……诶？

As AK-47 looks down to search for the bottle, A-91 pushes away the Dolls around her with a forceful shove. In the moment that she is pushed clear, SKS notices several bottles rolling down the slope towards A-91's feet...在AK47低头寻找瓶子的一瞬，A91奋力一挣，推开了身边的几个人形。 西蒙诺夫在被推开的一瞬看见几个瓶子正沿着斜坡滚向A91的脚下……

A-91 shakily lifts a foot...A91摇摇晃晃地抬起了脚……

P7Don't get mad, Boss! There's bound to be a weaker team out there...大哥别生气！总有弱一点的小队……

M870In our current state? Maybe if we ran into a team that was sloshed out of their neural clouds! Or else—就我们这状态？！除非遇上全员喝嗨的小队！ 不然就是——

Rattle rattle rattle— A lonely soda bottle rolls down. M870 immediately shushes herself and takes cover with P7 and ART556 behind a car.咕咚咚咚—— 一个汽水瓶孤零零地滚落下来。 M870立刻收声并拎起P7和ART556躲在车辆掩体后。

ART556Looks like a bunch of boozehounds. No, wait, does this world have alcohol?好像是几个酒鬼，不对，这边这个世界有酒吗？

M870Do alcoholics need alcohol? They'll get drunk off a pint of plain water. Look at that lot, they're happily downing bottles of soda, as though they were actually drinking beer or something.酒鬼喝醉需要酒吗？给她们一斤白开水都能喝上头。 你看这几个货，抱着个汽水瓶喝得那么开心，还以为自己在喝酒……

P7Wait a second, who's that Doll over there? Don't think I've seen her before...慢点，那个看着面生的人形是谁啊？

P7Speaking of which, I just remembered something...说到这里，我想起来件事……

...On the other side of the parking garage, several Dolls awkwardly stagger to their feet.……停车场的另一边，几个人形歪歪扭扭地站起来。

A-91You...what the hell's your problem? Why'd you have to take my...my knifey?你们……什么毛病？ 干嘛非要抢我的……小匕首？

VSK-94...Your knifey?……小匕首？

VSK-94 grabs A-91's hand and looks carefully at it. It looks a lot like an NRS-2 shooting knife, but turns out it's just an ordinary knife.VSK94抓住A91的手仔细查看起来。 虽然外形看上去非常像NRS-2匕首枪，但实际上这只是一把普通的匕首。

AK-47...Hahaha! How do you like it, rookie? Life is always filled with surprises when you follow our squad, don't you think?!……哈哈哈！新人，怎么样？ 跟着我们小队，是不是感觉生活中充满了惊喜！

VSK-94... Heart attacks, more like...…… 惊吓更多吧……

After recalling the blast from just now, VSK-94 warily observes the parking garage, looking for places where enemies might be lying in ambush.回想起刚才的爆炸，VSK94警惕地观察着停车场，寻找可能埋伏着敌人的藏身点。

AK-47Relax. If there were enemies around, they'd have opened fire already.安心吧，要是有敌人的话，刚刚就朝我们开枪了。

SKSThe hell are you acting so calm for, AK-47?! How many times have I told you! Don't throw your empty bottles around!安心什么安心？AK47！ 跟你说了多少遍！不要乱扔酒瓶啊！

SKSThat's the vodka spirit! If you don't get it, have a drink to clear your head!这是伏特加精神！ 不懂的话，就喝点脑子醒醒酒！

AK-47Look, rookie, drinking is how we strengthen our bond and build rapport. You should drink too, so you can bond with us faster! I'm out, A-91! Give the rookie a bottle!新人，喝酒也是我们增进感情和默契的一种方式。 为了尽快融入我们，你也一起来喝吧！ 我没有酒了，A91，你给新人开一瓶吧！

A-91Huh? My vodka...?啊？我的酒吗……

A-91 rummages through her bag. VSK-94 can clearly see her rummaging through several bottles of soda, but in the end she decides to zip the bag up.A91翻找起自己的包裹来，VSK94清楚地看见她在几瓶汽水间苦苦挣扎，最终还是选择毅然决然地拉上了包裹的拉链。

A-91Too bad, I'm out of vodka too...太不巧了，我也没有酒了……

SKSI'm on my last bottle myself.我这也是最后一瓶了。

VSK-94Then maybe I should scout ahead!那不如我先去前面侦查吧！

AK-47Looks like we have no choice.看来只能这样了。

VSK-94 quickly packs her things and leaves the parking garage.VSK94迅速收拾好东西离开停车场。

AK-47Come come come, our squad's made it this far. This calls for a celebration!来来来，庆祝我们小队走到现在！

A-91A toast to our upcoming victory!为我们即将到来的胜利干杯！

SKSDrink! All of you, drink! We're not stopping till we're all smashed!喝！都给我喝！今天不醉不休！

M870 watches as the three Dolls tilt their heads back to down an entire bottle of soda each.在M870小队的注视下，三个人形仰头喝下了一整瓶汽水。

AK-47Hahahahaha! I'll go see if I can start up that car over there... (hic)哈哈哈哈哈！我去看看那边的车能不能开……嗝……

SKSPick a spacious one... That way we won't be knocked around inside when we're giving the cops the slip.挑个宽敞点的车…… 这样躲避条子追捕的时候，不用撞来撞去的。

A-91There's no point. You'll hit your head on everything as long as AK-47's driving.没用的，只要是AK47开车，再宽敞的位置都会撞来撞去的。

AK-47Shaddup, you lot! If Kalina finds out we've been driving drunk again— Wait a minute, we're not in Griffin now, hehehe...你们小声点啊！要是被格琳娜发现我们又醉酒开车—— 等等，我们现在不在格里芬哦，嘿嘿嘿……

SKSHehe, now the Commander and Kalina can't nag us anymore!哼哼，现在指挥官和格琳娜都没法管我们了！

A-91You cowards, so you didn't dare drink because of a tiny problem like that?胆小鼠辈，竟然因为这点问题而害怕得不敢喝酒？

AK-47Yeah, right. In any case, I've never been scared before... Anyway, they'll just check me into rehab again if they catch me...怎么可能？反正我是从来没怕过…… 被发现也就是重新进行戒酒训练嘛……

SKSThey just lock you in a pitch black room for several days and play traffic safety rules over and over again, without a drop of liquor in sight! I'm Griffin's trump card, you know! How could I be scared of petty things like that?不就是关在漆黑的小屋几天，每天循环播放交通安全法，还一滴酒不给而已嘛！ 我可是格里芬的王牌，怎么会害怕这种小事？

A-91Da, da...是啊是啊……

As they recall their painful memories, the smiles on the three Dolls' faces grow stiff. Just then, a righteous cry thunders through the air, accompanied by a powerful searchlight beam.往昔痛苦的回忆翻来，三个人形的笑容瞬间凝滞。 这时，伴随着强烈的探照灯光线，一声正义凛然的呐喊向她们劈来。

???You lot! Hands up! Trying to drive when you're this drunk? Don't think you can escape today!你们几个！举起手来！ 喝成这样还想开车？！ 今天你们一个都别想跑！

Three unfamiliar figures pop up on the roof of the car beside AK-47.三个陌生的身影出现在了AK47身边的车顶。

M870We're the Manhattan P.D.! Today is drunk driver cleanup day! Now reach for the sky!我们是曼哈顿的警察！ 正在进行酒驾专项整治！你们都把手给我举起来！

P7We're the cops!我们是警察！

ART556Put your hands up!把手举起来！

M870Hey, say something, will you?喂，你们好歹给点反应啊！

AK-47Chyort vozmi! Today was clearly not supposed to be drunk driver cleanup day!该死！今天明明不是酒驾专项整治日啊！

SKSCut the crap! RUN!别废话了！快跑！

A-91SKS, This way!西蒙诺夫，方向是这边！

AK-47Wait a minute! Aren't we playing a game?!等下！我们不是在玩游戏吗？！

SKSYeah, why would the Manhattan P.D. be in this crappy game anyway?是啊，这破游戏哪来的曼哈顿警察？

A-91Then why the hell are you running so fast?那你们还跑那么快干嘛？

AK-47Pizdets! I can't help myself!该死，我控制不住啊！

SKSWhen I hear the word "police", I have the urge to run away!听见警察两个字就忍不住想跑啊！

A-91You guys... Don't think you can run faster than me!你们……别想跑得比我快！

In the blink of an eye, the three Dolls have vanished without a trace. Only Squad M870 is left, staring dumbfoundedly.眨眼间，三个人形消失得无影无踪。 只剩下M870小队呆在原地。

ART556...Can Dolls run that fast?……这是人形的速度吗？

M870Holy crap, it's like a dream!我靠，像梦一样！

VSK-94Seniors, I'm back.前辈，我回来了。

P7Boss, VSK's back!大哥，VSK回来了！

ART556What do we do?!怎么办？！

M870Calm down!冷静！

VSK-94 returns to where AK-47 was supposed to be, but all she sees is several unfamiliar Dolls staring sternly at her.VSK94回到AK47原来所在的地方，却只看见几个陌生的人形正严肃地盯着她。

M870We're the Manhattan P.D.! Today is drunk driver cleanup day! You there! Reach for the sky!我们是曼哈顿警察，正在重点整治酒驾！ 你！把手举起来！

P7Hands up!把手举起来！

ART556All the way up!举高点！

VSK-94 cooperates and raises her hands, as well as submitting to a breathalyzer test.VSK94配合地举起了手，并进行了酒精检测。

M870Humph, she hasn't been drinking.哼，没有喝酒。

VSK-94Uh... Comrade officers, have you seen my teammates? They were just here.那个……警察同志，请问你们有看见我的队友吗？ 她们刚刚在这里。

M870Are you talking about the drunkards from just now?刚刚在这里的几个酒鬼吗？

VSK-94...Probably.……大概是。

P7They saw us and ran!她们一看见我们就跑啦！

ART556Vanished with a whoosh~嗖地一下就不见了！

VSK-94...I knew it.……果然是这样。

As they see the look of helplessness on VSK-94's face, M870 signals P7 and ART556.见VSK94满脸无奈，M870给了P7和ART556一个眼神。

M870I'm Officer M870 of the Manhattan District Police, and these two are my deputies, ART556 and P7.我是曼哈顿片区的警察M870，这两位是我的小弟ART556和P7。

P7Hello, Ma'am. I'm P7.您好，女士，我是P7。

ART556And I'm ART556, at your service.我是ART556，为您服务。

VSK-94...You're Griffin Dolls too, right? Why call yourselves the Manhattan P.D.?……你们也是格里芬的人形吧？ 为什么要自称是曼哈顿警察？

M870That's because it's our mission, and since we've accepted it, we'll see it through to the end. Granted, Manhattan's a wasteland now, but we still need to step up to protect the peace.这是我们的任务，既然接受了，我们就会执行到底。 虽然曼哈顿已经是一片废墟了，但身为警察，依然要为了维护正义挺身而出。

P7Yep!没错！

ART556Exactly!就是这样！

VSK-94 notices that the three Dolls are covered in wounds.VSK94注意到三个人形的素体布满了伤痕。

M870Oh, our injuries? We got caught in an explosion when we were trying to stop those drunks.这些伤痕就是之前跟阻止醉酒的歹徒抢劫时，不小心被爆炸波及了。

P7...Yeah, huh? Wait, is that part of our story now?……是啊，诶？ 我们有这个剧情设定吗？

ART556It's called improvisation, just roll with it!临场发挥你懂不懂啊？

VSK-94Thank you for your hard work.辛苦了。

M870Well, we're low on people, and my deputies here aren't too experienced either... (Sighs)毕竟我们人手稀少，加上我的两个小弟经验尚浅，哎……

VSK-94Manhattan's so big, so why are there only the three of you? Are all the other cops gone...?曼哈顿这个片区面积这么大，怎么只有你们？ 其他的警察都离开了吗……

M870Yep. I mean, you must have seen the state of Manhattan on the way here, right?是啊，你们一路过来，也看见曼哈顿现在的情况了吧。

VSK-94Yes, it's quite a mess...嗯，很糟糕……

M870We've been trying to recruit comrades while protecting justice, but the results haven't exactly been ideal.我们一边维护正义，一边想要吸纳更多的同伴，但效果并不理想啊。

M870Well, that's enough about us.不说我们的事了。

M870Ma'am, your friends are gone. What do you plan to do now?女士，你的朋友都跑了，你有什么打算？

VSK-94I...我……

ART556 and P7 innocently sidle up to her, and as she looks into their clear, shiny eyes, VSK-94 is reminded of the cloudy, inebriated eyes of those boozehounds...ART556和P7天真烂漫地簇拥上来，看着她们清澈的眼睛，VSK94又回想起了那几个酒鬼醉眼朦胧的双眼……

M870Honestly, this is the first time I've seen perps who were so quick to abandon a friend. Still, it's alright, our job is to help the troubled masses. If you're worried about running into danger on your trip, we can escort you.我还是第一次看见光速抛弃同伴逃跑的犯人呢，不过没关系，我们会帮助有困难的群众。 你如果担心路上遇到危险的话，我们可以送你一程。

P7To serve and protect!为市民服务！

ART556Is our honor!是我们的荣幸！

VSK-94No need for that... I'd rather help you protect justice than help those alcoholics scrounge up more money to buy vodka.不必了…… 比起帮助几个酒鬼攒钱买伏特加，还不如帮助你们维护正义。

M870Wait a minute. Do you mean...?莫非你的意思是……？

VSK-94My name is VSK-94, and I once served with the police. I believe my experience should be of use. Therefore, I hope you'll let me join you.我是VSK94，曾经在警局工作过一段时间，我的经验应该也能帮助你们。 所以，请让我加入你们吧。

M870Why certainly! We'd be happy to have you with us!这当然是我们求之不得的！

VSK-94Then I'll be in your care from now on.那之后就请多指教了。

P7Oh yeah!好耶！

ART556That's wonderful!太好啦！

M870Welcome, I know you'll be able to bring new strength to the Manhattan P.D.!欢迎你的加入，我相信你一定能为曼哈顿警察局增添新的力量！

VSK-94Right.嗯。

VSK-94 packs her things and sets off. Behind her, three pairs of Doll eyes gleam nefariously in the darkness of the parking garage.VSK94收拾好自己的行囊，率先出发了。 她的身后，三个人形的双眼在昏暗的停车场中迸发出了邪恶的光芒。

P7Hehe, we did it.嘿嘿，成功了。

ART556All too easy!太容易了吧！

M870Another flawless plan from the Boss!还不是大哥我的计划天衣无缝！

...10 minutes ago.……十几分钟前。

P7Now that you mention it, I remember something...说到这里，我想起来件事……

ART556What is it?什么事？

P7I once saw several police officers come to the base to look for the Commander. The Commander looked really stern, so I decided to listen in. I think AK-47 and her fellow drunks were speeding and ended up being arrested and dragged back to the base by the cops. Kalina had to pay a huge fine and the Commander was super mad, and AK-47 and the others were severely punished!我之前看见过几个警察跑到基地来找指挥官，指挥官表情很严肃的样子，我就悄悄偷听了下。 大概是AK47她们几个醉酒开车超速，被正在巡逻的警察抓住了扭送回来。 格琳娜好像还交了好大一笔罚款，指挥官也气坏了，狠狠惩罚了AK47她们几个！

ART556So you're saying they're afraid of the police...你的意思是她们害怕警察……

M870Hahahahaha, what dorks! Still, we might be able to use this against those three drunkards. The problem is, I haven't figured out VSK yet. I don't know what kind of strategy would be good against her.哈哈哈哈哈，好蠢啊！ 不过或许可以用在对付那三个酒鬼身上。 但是我摸不透VSK的实力，不知道该用什么样的方案。

ART556You mean the three of us together can't beat her?我们仨加起来还打不过她吗？

M870You have the cheek to bring that up? Would we even need to hide here if you hadn't blasted off most of our HP?!你还有脸提这茬？！要不是你炸掉我们大半HP，我们需要窝在这？

ART556(Sniffles) I already said I was sorry!呜呜……我都道歉了嘛！

P7Boss, look! VSK's gone!大哥，你看，VSK走了！

ART556Should we make our move now?我们要不要趁现在上？

P7What if VSK suddenly comes back?万一VSK突然回来怎么办？

M870Heheh, I have a plan.哼哼，我有办法了。

ART556What is it?什么？

M870We'll go out now and arrest them for drunk driving. That way we'll be on the side of justice, representing justice punishing the guilty!我们现在出去，以酒驾的罪名逮捕她们。 这样，我们就是正义的一方，代表正义惩治罪犯！

P7Won't VSK try to save her teammates?VSK不会想办法救自己的队友吗？

M870When she returns, she'll find us bravely enforcing justice.等她回来的时候，正好撞上我们正义执行的高光时刻。

M870From what I know of VSK's background, she'll never oppose justice!按照VSK的设定，是不可能跟正义为敌的！

ART556So you're saying... We pretend to be the law to recruit VSK?所以是……通过假装正义来吸引VSK？

M870You take that back! From now on, we ARE the law! Got that?把你刚刚说的话给我撤回！ 从现在开始，我们就是正义的化身！ 记住了吗？

ART556No problem!没问题！

P7Perfect!妥妥的！

M870Hehe, now let's do it! You lot! Hands in the air!哼哼，就是现在！ 你们几个！举起手来！

...In Kalina's livestream room. Kalina has her eyes clenched tight in anguish, while her fingers are rubbing her temples over and over again.……格琳娜的直播间。 格琳娜痛苦地紧闭双眼，手指不断揉着太阳穴。

Kalina...Don't make me recall those painful memories again! (Sobs) We had to pay so much in fines back then!……这么痛苦的记忆，就不要再让我回想起来了吧！ 呜呜呜呜……那次真的罚了好多钱！

Commander...Forget it, Kalin. It's been so long.……算了吧，格琳，事情已经过去那么久了。

KalinaBut whenever I remember paying off that fine, and seeing that huge sum leave my account... It makes my heart ache!但是想想交出罚款的那一刻，那么庞大的数字从我的账户抽离…… 还是好让人心痛！

CommanderThen you should look at the betting pool. Feel better now?那你快看看现在下注的界面，有没有感觉好一点？

KalinaWaha! Hehehehe...哇哈！嘿嘿嘿嘿……

The tempting figures immediately boil away the tears brimming in the corners of Kalina's eyes.诱人的数字让格琳娜眼角隐隐的泪光瞬间蒸发。

KalinaAlright! Let's continue the stream! All you Dolls watching the livestream, two teams have just undergone a huge member change! VSK-94, formerly of Squad AK-47, has now been coaxed into joining Squad M870! How much further will Squad AK-47 be able to go after losing one of their star players? And will Squad M870 gain a new lease of life? Don't leave now, folks! Let's keep watching the progress of the game!很好！我们继续直播竞猜吧！ 各位正在观看直播的人形们，现在的两只小队发生了重大的人员变化！ 原属于AK47小队的VSK94被哄骗进了M870小队！ 痛失一员大将的AK47小队还能走多远？M870小队又能否因此获得新的转机呢？ 不要走开！让我们继续关注游戏进展吧！

43-D-2 M870小队支线2

0012 hours. The "Hungry" icon on top of Vector's head has vanished. She slowly rises to her feet, and the only sound in her ears is the harsh whistling of the wind.0:12，Vector头上的“饥饿”标识已经消失，她缓缓从地上站起来，耳边只有萧瑟的风声。

Vector... P...…… P……

Dima...Agent.……特工。

Vector...Oh, it's you.……是你啊。

DimaPP-90 has left the game. I am sorry for your loss, Agent.PP90已经退出了游戏，我为你的损失感到抱歉，特工。

VectorPP-90...PP90……

DimaSpringfield's team passed through here just now.刚刚春田小队经过了这里。

VectorWere they also headed toward the Dark Zone?她们也是朝着暗区方向前进的吗？

DimaYes.是的。

DimaAll the surviving teams should be headed toward the Dark Zone now.现在幸存的队伍应该都在前往暗区了。

VectorAlright. I'll go meet R93 and the others at the train station, then.好，那我先去车站跟R93她们汇合吧。

...In Bryant Park, which is surrounded by tall buildings.……被高楼大厦包围的布莱恩特公园。

M870(Pants heavily) Did those cowards spend all their skill points on running speed just so they can flee?!呼……呼…… 这群胆小如鼠的蠢蛋，全身的技能点都点在逃跑上了吗？！

VSK-94(Pants heavily)呼……呼……

In the throes of her anger, M870 grabs a couple of bystanders by their collars.盛怒之下，M870拎起了路人的衣领。

M870Hey you, did any shifty-eyed Dolls pass through this place?喂，你有没有看见几个贼眉鼠眼的人形经过这里？

The two bystanders remain as they are and do not respond to M870.两位路人保持着原来的神态，没有对M870做出回应。

M870...Why are your goddamn eyes open if you can't see the Boss standing in front of you?……瞪着那么大的眼睛，却看不见大哥我站在你们面前？

M870Trying to be a tough guy?跟我杠是不是？

VSK-94Leave it, M870. You can't interact with these bystanders.算了吧，M870，这些路人是无法交互的。

M870 savagely pastes several traffic tickets on the two bystanders.M870恶狠狠地在两位路人的身上贴了几张罚单。

M870P7, ART556, you two go check over there and see if you can find any trace of them.P7，ART556，你们俩去那边侦查下，看能不能找到她们的轨迹。

M870P7? ART556?P7？ART556？

VSK-94They didn't catch up with us...她们没有跟上……

M870That's why I HATE working with those vertically-challenged Dolls! They always vanish during critical moments, either they fall into the sewers or get stuck in weird places...所以我最讨厌跟身高不达标的人形合作了！ 每次都在关键的时刻消失，不是掉进下水道，就是卡在什么奇怪的地方……

VSK-94We need to go back and find them.我们得回去找到她们。

M870What are you, a helicopter parent hovering outside a daycare? Relax, P7 and ART556 aren't kids. They can take care of themselves.干嘛跟天天守在幼儿园门口的老妈子一样？ 放心啦，P7和ART556又不是小朋友，能照顾好自己的。

VSK-94W-what do you mean by hovering around outside a daycare? Anyway, I tried contacting them just now, but I couldn't get through. Their signals have been jammed.谁、谁天天守在幼儿园门口？ 我刚刚试着联络她们，但是根本联系不上，她们的信号被屏蔽了。

M870Don't worry. A kidnapper's going to call and demand ransom soon.别着急，待会就会有绑匪打电话来要赎金了。

M870I was just KIDDING. You know, to lighten the mood and all that? Don't go taking it so seriously. They might have already entered the Dark Zone. Remember those system messages that kept coming up? What was it, "Agents have entered the Dark Zone" and all that?我就是开个玩笑缓和下气氛，你别当真啊。 她们可能进暗区了吧，刚刚不一直在弹系统提示吗？ 什么特工已进入暗区之类的？

VSK-94Doesn't that make things worse? They'll have a hard time dealing with the dangers of the Dark Zone by themselves.那情况不是更危急了吗？ 只靠她们俩很难应付暗区的危险情况的。

DimaCorrect. It will be very difficult for them to survive by themselves in the Dark Zone.没错，仅靠她们很难在暗区存活的。

M870Oi! Don't suddenly butt in like that! Are you trying to scare me or what?!喂——不要突然弹通讯框啊！很吓人的！

DimaMy apologies, Agent.抱歉，特工。

DimaHowever, I would still advise you to go to their aid immediately.但是我建议你们立刻前去支援。

M870Fine fine, you can shut up now.好了好了，你可以闭麦了。

VSK-94We need to go to the Dark Zone right now.我们得立刻去暗区。

M870...Fine, I get it. Let's head over there.……知道啦，那我们朝暗区走吧。

After looking at VSK-94's eyes, M870 knows that she won't be easily swayed from her course, so she has no choice but to agree for now.看着VSK94的眼神，M870知道这次没那么好敷衍过去，只好暂时同意。

Vector ends up passing by Bryant Park on her way toward the Dark Zone. A pair of Dolls are calmly taking stock of their supplies amidst the grim, silent atmosphere.朝着暗区行进的Vector经过了布莱恩特公园。 在寂静肃杀的氛围中，两个人形正在有条不紊地清点各自的物资。

VectorThose look like Griffin Tactical Dolls. Did Griffin have such quiet people among them?看上去像是格里芬的战术人形。 原来格里芬也有这样安静的家伙吗？

Vector makes sure her face is a smooth blank before heading towards the two Dolls...Vector调整了一下面部表情，朝着两个人形走去……

VSK-94Also, I have a suggestion, M870.另外，M870，我有个建议。

M870What suggestion?什么建议？

VSK-94The decision to arrest people should be made jointly.由我们俩共同决定抓捕的对象。

M870The team leader decides policy. Got a problem with that? You want to overthrow me?决策权当然是我这个队长来掌控啊，怎么？你想篡位？

VSK-94No, that was not my intention.不是，我没有这种想法。

VSK-94I simply feel that some of your decisions are impulsive.我只是认为你的部分决定有些冲动。

M870What? Me? Impulsive?啊哈？我冲动？

The sudden argument stops Vector in her tracks.两个人形突然爆发的争论让Vector的脚步停滞。

Vector... Just hearing that bit of their argument makes me want to roll my eyes and blue screen. Forget it, I'm not a likable Doll, I shouldn't force myself to socialize.…… 光听这几句争吵，我就已经想翻白眼宕机了。 还是算了，我这种讨嫌的人形就不要勉强自己去社交了吧。

Vector silently changes course and prepares to go around M870 and VSK-94.Vector悄无声息地改道，准备绕开M870和VSK94。

VSK-94I don't intend to make things difficult for you. In the beginning, I had no objections to your fining AK-47 and the others for drunk driving.我没有针对你的意思。 最开始，罚AK47她们酒驾，我没有异议。

M870Go on.你接着说。

VSK-94When you encountered Squad Springfield just now, they were simply collecting resources and they were very cooperative. Yet you intimidated them with force and drove them to flee.刚刚遇到的春田小队，明明她们只是搜集物资而已，并且配合调查的态度也非常好。 但是你却暴力恐吓她们，甚至逼得她们逃跑。

M870They were running because they had guilty consciences!那明明是畏罪潜逃！

VSK-94While attempting to apprehend Squad Springfield, a lack of prior communication caused P7 and ART556 to be left behind. We were low on manpower to begin with. Now it will be even harder for us to do our job.在抓捕春田小队的过程中，由于事先没有做好沟通，导致P7和ART556没有跟上我们。 我们的人员本就紧缺，这下就更难以开展我们的工作了。

M870Yadda yadda yadda, where do you get off lecturing me, anyway?啰嗦死了，干嘛要对我进行说教啊？

VSK-94This is not a lecture. I simply wish to avoid unnecessary losses.我没有说教你，我只是在想办法避免不必要的损失。

M870YOU'RE the newcomer, I'M the team leader! Don't think I'll keep letting you have your way just because you're a newbie. When in Rome, you jolly well do as the Romans do, and if you want to operate on M870's turf, you play by M870's rules. If you want to keep hanging with me, you'd better respect my authority!你只是个新人，我才是队长！ 别以为你是新人，我就会一直让着你。 国有国法，家有家规，在我M870的地盘活动就要按我M870的法律行事。 你要还想继续跟着大哥我混，就好好遵守我的规矩！

VSK-94... So you insist on enforcing justice with your previous methods?…… 所以你的意思是，决定继续按照刚刚的方式来维护正义？

VSK-94It seems we have an irreconcilable difference in our interpretation of justice.看来我们对正义的理解出现了无法消除的分歧。

A stone flies at M870 from nowhere. Fortunately, she ducks in time, and no harm is done.不知从哪飞来的石头砸向M870，所幸她闪躲及时，没有造成伤害。

M870Who did that? Who has the balls to assault an officer in broad daylight?! You, that Doll over there! Was it you? Yes, you, the one with the silver hair! Hold it right there!谁啊？光天化日之下就敢袭警？ 那边那个人形！是你吗？ 那个银色头发的，就是你，给我站住！

Vector unconsciously comes to a halt.Vector下意识停住了脚步。

Vector...Should I just run?……或许我应该直接跑？

While Vector is deciding what to do, M870 has already dragged VSK-94 up to her.在Vector思考决策时，M870已经拽着VSK94来到她身边。

M870State your username, suspect.犯罪嫌疑人，报上你的ID来。

VectorTactical Doll Vector.战术人形Vector。

M870Wait, seriously? What year is this, do Dolls actually use their real names as their usernames? Even when Nagant goes surfing (online, that is) she picks all kinds of flowery nicknames for herself...不是吧？这都什么年代了，还有人形用真名当网名的？ 纳甘上网（就是在网上冲浪的意思）都知道取些花里胡哨的网名……

VectorIt's one thing to laugh at my username, but what was that in the brackets just now?嘲笑我的网名就算了，你这个括号是什么意思？

VSK-94Don't mind her, she's the sort of Doll who runs her mouth too much.你别在意，她就是这样满嘴跑火车的人形。

M870Says who?! I just heard it from somewhere.说谁呢？！我还在边上听着的诶。

VectorWell, uh, I have something to do so I'll be off.那个，我还有事先走了……

Vector is getting a headache from the exchange and can't wait to flee the scene.被吵得头痛的Vector迫不及待地想要逃离现场。

M870Wait!等等！

M870 nimbly blocks Vector's path.M870敏捷地拦住了Vector的去路。

M870There's something fishy about you!我看你不对劲！

VSK-94What now?你又要干什么？

M870Just now, you said I was throwing out charges randomly, right? I'm going to prove to you that my charging process is transparent and accurate...你不是指责我乱给人定罪吗？ 我现在就让你看看，我的定罪流程是多么清晰准确……

M870 sizes Vector up.M870仔细打量起了Vector。

M870Answer my question, suspect!犯罪嫌疑人，回答我的问题！

Vector... Are you talking to me?…… 该不会是在跟我说话吧？

M870Yes, you! "Tactical Doll Vector!" Just now, while I was discussing case details with the rookie, you tried to assault an officer and sneak away, right?!就是你！“战术人形”Vector！ 刚刚你企图抓住我和新人讨论案情的空隙，偷偷袭警然后溜走，是吗？！

VectorDon't think the entire world revolves around you. I was simply passing by.不要这么自恋，我只是单纯路过而已。

M870I don't believe you! Talk! What kind of evil scheme did you have in mind?我不信！ 说吧，你有什么阴谋？

VSK-94Are you always this direct when questioning suspects?!审讯犯人是这么直接的吗？！

M870Don't butt in, rookie, I'm demonstrating proper procedure for you.新人，不要插话，我正在为你演示标准的定罪流程。

VectorI am on a mission given by the Commander to win this game.我正在执行指挥官委派给我的任务，赢得这场游戏的胜利。

M870What proof—有什么证——

VectorIf you want proof, I will kill you right now so you can ask the Commander yourself.如果你一定要证明的话，我只能开枪毙了你，让你回到现实中去问指挥官了。

M870So you're trying to assault an officer again after attempting and failing to do so before?!你这是袭警未遂之后企图再次袭警！

VectorIf your definition of assaulting an officer includes simulating ways to kill you in my neural cloud, then yes, I am guilty of several thousand counts of assaulting an officer.如果你说的袭警，是指在心智云图中模拟枪毙你的情境的话，没错，我已经进行上千次袭警犯罪了。

M870Humph, you've got quite the mouth on you. Wait a minute, are you the only one the Commander sent out for this?…… 哼，嘴巴很厉害嘛。 等等，指挥官只派了你一个人吗？

VectorI have two other teammates. They aren't with me now. Is there anything else, Officer?我还有2个队友，没跟我一起行动而已。 警官大哥，还有什么问题吗？

M870Why aren't you traveling with them?你们为什么不一起行动？

VectorI guess it's because I'm not likable.可能因为我比较讨人厌吧。

M870Hahahaha, I like people who are straight to the point like you!哈哈哈哈哈，我喜欢你这样清醒的家伙！

M870Too bad being unlikable isn't a crime...可惜被人讨厌不能当做罪名啊……

M870(Coughs) So, where are you going now?咳——那你接下来打算去哪？

VectorThe Dark Zone.暗区。

M870's questioning has stalled. She frowns and studies Vector, trying to look for something she can use to pin a charge on her.M870的审讯陷入了僵局。 她皱着眉头仔细观察着Vector，想要发现一点能用来定罪的蛛丝马迹……

VectorCan I go now?我可以走了吧？

VSK-94Sorry for delaying you. You may leave.抱歉耽误你了，你可以离开了。

M870 looks at VSK-94 in surprise. Open disdain and exasperation are written all over the rookie's face. It suddenly occurs to M870, "If I don't do something about this now, I'll lose her."M870诧异地看向VSK94，从新人的脸上，她看见了毫不掩饰的鄙夷和无奈。 一种“如果再不挽回，就要失去她了”的预感油然而生。

M870Hold it!等一下！

M870 blocks Vector once more.M870再一次拦住了Vector。

Vector... Can you just get on with it already? If you want to fight, then fight. I don't care if it's one-on-one or in a group.…… 能不能干脆点？ 想打架直接动手就好，单挑群殴我都行。

M870Humph, I know what you've done, Tactical Doll Vector! You can try to hide it, but you can't deceive my eyes.哼，不管你如何掩饰，都瞒不过我这双犀利的眼睛。 我已经知晓你的罪行了，战术人形Vector！

VectorPardon?哈啊？

M870 glances at VSK-94 and sees a look of doubt in her eyes. M870 knows that she's a step closer toward redeeming herself.M870迅速瞥了一眼VSK94，新人的眼中流露出一丝疑惑。 M870知道，自己的挽救已经成功了一步。

M870Say no more. I know the answer already. "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth!"无需多言，我的心中已经有了答案。 “把一切可能都排除后，剩下的唯一可能就是真相！”

M870Also, "There can only be one truth!"而“真相只有一个！”

VectorHow long of an incantation do you need to activate your skill, anyway?你的技能发动需要吟唱这么久吗？

M870And that is— You are guilty of —那就是—— 你犯下了——

M870ILLEGAL POSSESSION OF FIREARMS!!!非法持有枪支罪！！！

...The air grows still.……空气顿时凝滞。

VSK-94... ILLEGAL POSSESSION OF FIREARMS? DO YOU HAVE SODA IN YOUR BRAIN?!…… 非法持有枪支？你的心智被苏打水泡过吗？！

M870Hey, why are you shouting at me?! Whose side are you on, anyway?!你干嘛凶我啊！有没有搞清楚你的阵营？！

VSK-94I have had it up to here with you.我对你的忍耐已经到达了极限。

VSK-94 slings her backpack over her shoulder and prepares to leave.VSK94迅速背好自己的包裹准备离开。

M870Hey! Where are you going?喂——你要去哪啊？

VSK-94I'm going to save P7 and ART556.我要去救回ART556和P7。

Vector...In that case, can I go now?……那个，我可以走了吧？

M870I forbid you to leave!我不准你走！

VectorOh?啊？

VSK-94You're kidding, right? Do you think you can stop me?开什么玩笑，你以为你有能力阻挡我吗？

M870Humph, then be my guest! Let's see if you can go without my permission!哼，那你就来试试啊！ 看看没有我的允许，你走不走得掉！

VectorOh, so you're not talking to me... Well, I'll be—不是在跟我说话啊…… 那我先——

M870 tosses her backpack into Vector's arms.M870将自己的背包甩到Vector的怀里。

M870Come on, fight me! The loser has to obey the winner, no questions asked! Do you have the guts for it?来啊，跟我决斗吧！ 输了的一方要无条件服从胜利的一方，你敢吗？

VSK-94My gut tells me you'll be weeping and begging for mercy.我只怕你会哭着向我求饶。

VSK-94 takes off her backpack and hands it to Vector.VSK94卸下自己的背包塞给Vector。

Vector... Look, I know I'm not that likable, but you don't have to do this, right?...…… 虽然我知道我有些讨人嫌，但也不必这样吧……

M870 strikes first and fires at VSK-94. VSK-94 steps up onto a park bench and nimbly evades the attack. After a perfect landing, she begins running deeper into the park...M870先发制人，朝着VSK94开了一枪。 VSK94踏上公园长椅，灵活地避开了攻击。 完美落地之后，她开始朝公园深处跑去……

M870Trying to get away so you can kill me from range? Don't even think about it!想拉开间距，远距离击杀我吗？门都没有！

M870 immediately gives chase. Vector sighs and sits down on the bench, still holding the heavy backpacks.M870立刻跟上。 Vector叹了口气，拎着两个沉重的包坐在了长椅上。

Startled by the sudden sound of gunfire, the nearby birds all take to the skies, leaving behind nothing but a silent patch of trees. VSK-94 has long since vanished, and there is no trace of her on the leaf-strewn paths. M870 is keenly aware that the present circumstances are very unfavorable for her, so all she can do is slow down and carefully search for VSK-94's trail.被枪声惊吓，附近的鸟类全部飞走，只剩下一个寂静无声的小树林。 VSK94的身影早已消失不见，铺满落叶的小径也没有留下她的痕迹。 M870深知此刻的情形对自己不利，只能放缓脚步，更加警惕地搜索着VSK94的踪迹。

...A cool breeze blows, dislodging several leaves, which fall to the ground. M870 turns sharply toward them.……一阵清风拂过，捋下了几片落叶。 M870敏锐地转身，面向发出声响的方向。

M870...What the hell, scared the crap out of me.……什么嘛，吓我一跳。

The moment she relaxes, there is a surge of killing intent from the branches of the tree opposite her.在她稍微放松警惕的一瞬，侧面树上的杀气瞬间沸腾。

M870 raises her shield to protect herself while also firing at the tree. VSK-94 sees that her sneak attack has failed and promptly repositions herself. Though she is briefly shocked, M870 recovers in short order and mutters a few words.M870举盾防护的同时，立刻朝着树上开枪。 VSK94见自己的袭击落空，也在同一时间闪身转移地点。 M870惊魂甫定，但还是嘴硬地呛了几句。

M870You're being way too vicious, rookie! How come you're aiming straight for my vitals? I mean, I DID save you from a pack of alcoholics—喂喂喂，新人你也太狠了吧！怎么对我的袭击都是直奔要害的！ 多少也是大哥我把你从一堆酒鬼里捞出——

Another lethal shot erupts from the depths of the branches. Somehow, M870 survives it, but she loses a huge chunk of her HP. M870 doesn't dare mouth off anymore. Instead, she rolls behind a nearby tree trunk and begins thinking about countermeasures.又是一发来自枝杈深处的致命袭击。 M870险险擦过，HP条也被擦去了大半。 M870不敢再嘴硬，她翻身躲在树干后面，开始思考对策。

M870I'm going to lose at this rate... I need to break this deadlock, bait her into showing herself, then attack at close range. I'll start by feigning weakness to take the edge off her aggression, then fake a surrender and pretend to go with what she says. I wonder if those brats will come in handy...这样下去，肯定是我先输…… 我得先打破现在的僵局，引诱她现身，再近距离攻击。 先卖惨弱化一下她的攻击欲，再假装认输，附和一下她的观点，不知道提那两个小破孩有没有用……

M870 squirms around, teeth clenched in feigned pain and knocking leaves off the trees she hits. As expected, VSK-94 doesn't press the attack.M870假装疼得龇牙咧嘴地一阵挣扎，撞得树叶簌簌乱摇，VSK94果然没有朝这个方向开枪。

M870Hehe, step one is a success.哼哼，第一步计划顺利。

M870 throws her gun out from behind the tree and begins wailing for mercy.M870将枪扔出树后的隐蔽范围，开始大声求饶。

M870(Squeals) It hurts! Don't hit me anymore, VSK-94! I give up! See, I've thrown my gun away!呜啊——好痛啊！VSK94，别打我！ 我不打了！你看，我把枪都扔出去了！

M870 deliberately exposes her hand to VSK-94's fire. VSK-94 does not shoot.M870故意让手在VSK94的可攻击范围内出现。 VSK94没有开枪。

M870Hehe, I know how VSK-94's mind works now. Next, I'm going to—嘿嘿，果然，VSK94的心理活动规律已经被我掌握了！ 接下来，我再——

M870 nervously sticks her head out from behind the tree... A hollow gun muzzle is pressed against her forehead.M870小心翼翼从树后伸出头…… 一个黑洞洞的枪口正好抵在她的额头上。

VSK-94You lose.你输了。

VSK-94 glares coldly at her, one foot firmly planted on the gun M870 tossed out.VSK94冷冷地看着她，脚下死死踩着M870扔出来的枪。

M870Wait! How did things end up like this?!等等！怎么会这样？！

VSK-94Not going to give up? Then I'll—还不认输吗？那我就——

M870No, no, don't! Wait, just listen to me! I know, you're mad because I didn't care about those two. How about this, why don't we go back together to look for them?别别别！等一下，有话好说！ 我知道，你是因为我不管那两个小家伙的事在跟我置气。 这样吧，我们一起回去找那两个小家伙怎么样？

M870I mean, you said so too, right? A pair of Dolls are going to have a hard time dealing with the dangers of the Dark Zone.你不也说了吗？仅靠两个人形是难以应付暗区里的危险的。

M870And if you were the only one left, your chances would be even worse! Now, if it were the two of us, then maybe...如果只剩你一个人形的话，胜算更低了！我们俩的话多少还有些可能……

VSK-94Are you really willing to do that?你真的愿意？

The gun barrel pressed against M870's forehead pulls away.抵在M870额头上的枪口稍微松开了些。

M870Of course! Come, let's go! If those two have really entered the Dark Zone, then the sooner we find them, the better! If we keep getting delayed by pointless arguments, they'll—当然啊！ 我们快走吧，那两个小家伙要是真的进了暗区，我们越早找到她们越好！ 再为这些没意义的争吵耽误的话，她们就——

SystemX Deputy No. 7 was killed by an NPC. X Deputy No. 556 was killed by an NPC.x 7号助理警长被一名NPC杀死。 x 556号助理警长被一名NPC杀死。

VSK-94 shoves her gun barrel back into M870's forehead so hard she can practically poke right through it....M870感觉自己的额头快被VSK94的枪口戳烂了……

M870Look, why don't you calm down a little... Uh... Well, even without those two brats, we can find more little friends too, right...你冷静一点…… 那个……就算没有这两个小家伙了，我们也还可以找些其他的小朋友嘛……

VSK-94Hehe...呵呵……

Blazing anger can be seen in VSK-94's eyes, and M870's panicked face burns within them.VSK94眼中燃起两簇火苗，M870恐慌的脸在其中熊熊燃烧。

M870... And if that doesn't work out, maybe I could be your little friend...…… 实在不行，我也可以做你的小朋友啊……

M870 knows her scheme is in tatters, but she isn't content to just give up like that. Drawing on the fullest extent of her acting skills, she flashes VSK-94 a pair of adorable puppy-dog eyes, while her hand secretly reaches for the gun under VSK-94's foot...M870知道自己的计划已经全面破灭，但她并不甘心就在这里停下。 M870燃尽所有的演技，扮出温驯纯良如小狗般的眼神望向VSK94，同时她的手悄悄伸向被VSK94踩在脚下的枪……

VSK-94I already know what you're planning, M870.我已经看穿你了，M870。

VSK-94 savagely kicks M870's gun away. However, she doesn't expect M870 to take the opportunity to throw a grenade at her.VSK94狠狠地踹开了M870的枪。 但她没想到，M870居然趁这个空隙向她扔出了手榴弹。

M870Heheh! ♪ You can't predict the Boss!嘿嘿♪大哥我可是深不可测的！

M870 nimbly rolls to the side. VSK-94 can't dodge in time, so she throws herself at the grenade that's heading her way, then proceeds to pin M870 beneath her.M870灵活地向边上翻滚开。 VSK94见来不及躲闪，索性直接朝空中的手榴弹扑了上去，再顺势死死压住了M870。

M870W-what are you doing?!你、你要干什么？！

BOOM— The massive explosion startles more birds into flight, and it also awakens Vector, who has dozed off on a bench at the park entrance.砰—— 爆炸的巨响惊飞了鸟群，也惊醒了正在公园门口的长椅上休眠的Vector。

SystemX Manhattan Sheriff killed I'm Really Not A Kidnapper. X Manhattan Sheriff died from an explosion.x 曼哈顿分局警长击杀我真的不是人贩子。 x 曼哈顿分局警长被手榴弹炸死。

Vector(Groans) What just happened?唔……刚刚发生了什么？

...In Kalina's streaming room.……格琳娜的直播间。

Doll ADammit!!! My bet's gone!!!可恶！！！我血本无归了！！！

Doll BVSK!!! I had such high hopes for you!!!VSK！！！枉我这么看好你！！！

Doll CHahahahaha... Stop please, I'm dying here!哈哈哈哈哈哈……笑死我了！

Doll DLet's go Vivi! Vector fans forever!V宝放心冲！V5永相随！

As she listens to the weeping and wailing of the Dolls, Kalina looks at the snowballing numbers and smiles in satisfaction.听着人形们的哭喊，格琳娜看着不断上涨的数字露出了满意的笑容。

KalinaAhahahahaha... Who'd have thought there'd be a day when M870 would admit defeat!哈哈哈哈哈哈……想不到M870也有认怂的时候！

CommanderThe tournament's getting more and more interesting.赛况越来越有意思了。

KalinaCome one, come all! Let's not dwell on the past, there are still many teams left! Don't weep for the money you lost, that'll just blind you to future opportunities to get rich! So come, place your bets! Who knows, the next team you bet on might let you get everything back!!!来来来！让我们把注意力放在接下来的赛况上，还有好几只队伍呢！ 不要为已经失去的钱财落泪，这只会让你错过接下来的发财机会！ 买起来啊！说不定你买的下一支队伍就能让你翻身！！！

The Commander looks at the golden gleam in Kalina's eyes and subconsciously tightens their grip on their wallet.指挥官看了看格琳娜眼中闪动的金光，悄悄将钱包捂得更紧了些。

43-E-1 Vector小队支线1

... 0006 hours, Hudson Refugee Camp. After Squad Vector arrives at the hiding spot.…… 0:06 哈德森难民营 Vector小队抵达藏身处后。

Vector...They didn't follow you?……没有被缠住吧？

PP-90No... God, they're so annoying. Why did we have to run into people like that right at the start of the game? I can't believe those drunks logged on before even clearing their heads!没有……讨厌死了。 为什么一上来就遇到这种人啊。 那几个酒鬼，连酒都没醒就上线了！

K5A bad start is the end of a stretch of bad luck. The real show starts now, don't you think?糟糕的开始是一段坏运气的尽头。 接下来才是正头戏吧？

R93Yep! We're due for a hot streak!没错！要燃起来了！

VectorBeing put on the back foot by bunch of newcomers also reflects our lack of preparation. That was a mistake on my part, as team leader.初来乍到的失利显示了我们准备上的不足。 这也是身为队长的我的失误。

K5Haha, relax, Miss Vivi. I'm sure the Commander wasn't out to give you so much pressure. You were assigned to do this because they trusted you.哈哈，放轻松一点吧，Vivi小姐。 指挥官一定也不想给你那么大的压力，他是信任你才让你来做这件事的。

VectorI'm not going to second-guess the Commander's decision. I'll only end up being depressed whether I get it right or wrong. Rather, it would be more useful to think about how to complete this mission.不，我不会去揣测指挥官的想法，不管是猜对还是猜错都只会让人沮丧。 比起那些，考虑怎么完成任务还比较有性价比。
