Welcome Ceremony 欢迎仪式

CommanderSunlight, cheery music—阳光、欢快的音乐——

CommanderThe sounds of an amusement park—游乐园——

CommanderAnd...还有……

???Commander... I've got you now.指挥官……这次可落到我的手里了呢。

(The voice is familiar, but I can't recall the speaker's name.)（熟悉的声音，但是却想不起她的名字。）

???Oh, what will I ever do with you? I guess I'll have to help you out with this specially concocted elixir, oh so filled with love—真没办法，就让我用饱含爱意特制的药剂，来帮帮你吧——

(—The sunlight flares, more dazzling than before.)（——比刚才还要刺眼的阳光。）

???Oh my, he lives! He's awake at last!哎呀，醒了醒了，有趣的家伙终于醒了！

???Are... you alright?你……还好吗？

(A girl stares intently at me, syringe in hand.)（一个手里拿着注射器的少女正注视着我。）

(After realizing that I've come to my senses, the worried look on her face softens. Her eyes, once gaping in shock, are soon filled with warm mirth.)（发现我醒来后，她那副有些担心的表情有所缓和，她的眼睛因为惊讶而圆睁着，很快就变成了温和的笑意。）

???Commander, do you remember who I am?指挥官，还记得我是谁吗？

CommanderFlo...芙……

(Flo?)（芙？）

(A name comes to mind, but when I try to think back on who it might be attached to, all I see is a blurred mental image.)（一个名字落到我的嘴边，但当我试图回想时，脑海中却只有一个模糊的印象。）

???That's right, I'm Florence!答对了，我是芙洛伦哦！

(The girl calling herself Florence winks playfully at me after finishing.)（自称芙洛伦的少女，自顾自地将话说完，然后对我抛了个媚眼。）

(Her familiar face and the gentle, yet heated smile look very inviting.)（她熟悉的面孔，带着温和又热情的笑容，看上去十分亲切。）

FlorenceDon't you think it's a bit of a waste to be sleeping by yourself on the ground after coming all the way to an amusement park?难得来到游乐园，独自在地上睡觉的话，也太浪费了吧？

CommanderIt's not like I WANTED to fall asleep here...我也不是想睡才在这睡的……

(How I ended up in this place is a mystery even to myself.)（就连我自己，都有些搞不清楚现在的状况。）

(As I try to recall my situation, I find that my thoughts are a blur, like I'm wading through a thick fog.)（当我努力试图回想自己的情况时，大脑中总是模模糊糊的，简直就像是一团迷雾一样。）

(If this were a game, my situation would be like a freshly made character dumped into unfamiliar surroundings. While my self-perception is functioning normally, I know nothing about my identity and my surroundings.)（如果将这比作电子游戏的话，那我完全就是在陌生环境中刚建立的新角色。我自认自己仍旧具备常识，但对于自身的身份，和周围的环境，却是完全陌生的。）

(Meanwhile, this girl here seems to know me.)（而眼前这名人形，似乎认识我。）

CommanderSo... Who's Florence?所以……芙洛伦是谁？

Florence...Huh?……诶？

(She narrows her eyes as she smiles, but she can't hide the confusion in them. After thinking a little more, I decide to share a little more with her.)（人形眯起眼睛笑了笑，但是眼神中却堆满了藏不住的疑惑。稍加思考后，我决定将自己目前的情况透露给她一部分。）

CommanderDo you... know me very well? Also, the "Commander"... is that me?你……很了解我吗？还有，“指挥官”……难道是我？

(In my murky memories, I do recall something about having once lived with many Dolls.)（我模糊的记忆中，的确能感觉到，自己一直和许多人形生活在一起。）

CommanderOr rather, given the way you're speaking to me... Does that mean we've worked together many times before?或者说，你这样称呼我……看来我们有过不少合作？

FlorenceOh my?哎呀？

Florence...You're serious, aren't you?……你是认真的？

FlorenceOh dearie me...哎呀哎呀……

Florence...My, don't tell me you've gotten so used to playing dumb around Dolls that it's become a reflex?……该不会是对人形装傻已经形成路径依赖了吧？

(Judging by her reaction, she seems to be disappointed that I asked that question. The air seems to freeze up, and Florence steps forward, placing a hand on my forehead.)（从她的反应来看，问出这个问题的我反倒像是辜负了她一样。气氛因为我的问题而凝固，芙洛伦上前一步，将手贴到我的额头上。）

FlorenceBody temperature normal, pulse normal, all vital signs normal. You're perfectly healthy, or at least your body is...体温正常，心率正常，一切正常，健康得很嘛，至少身体的部分是这样……

(Saying so, she cups my cheeks in her hands, bringing her face closer and closer to mine—)（说完，她双手捧住了我的脸颊，脸也离我越来越近——）

FlorenceHehe... I see. It can't be helped, then.哼哼……原来是这样啊，这也是没办法的呢。

(It is only when she presses her forehead to mine that I can clearly see the heart-shaped pupils flashing in her eyes like a lighthouse. A quiet "beep" tells me that she's collecting my body parameters.)（直到她的额头贴到了我的额头上，我才看到了她瞳孔中闪烁的、如同信号灯一样的心形。“嘀嘀”的提示音提醒着我，她正在收集我的身体数据。）

(Considering how quickly and efficiently she's doing this, she must be a medical Doll of some sort.)（能这样快捷地做到这一点，她大概率是一名医疗人形。）

(I size her up. Apart from the syringe she's holding, Florence has various medical paraphernalia all over her, which reinforces my suspicions.)（我打量着她，除了手中的注射器外，芙洛伦的身上还带着不少医疗用品，这更加肯定了我的想法。）

FlorenceAh, are you interested in this, Commander?啊，指挥官很在意这个？

(She seems to have noticed how I'm staring at the syringe and smiles warmly at me.)（似乎是注意到了我正在盯着她手中的注射器，她温和地笑了笑。）

FlorenceThis is just a shot of ordinary glucose solution, y'know. It's nothing more than an energy supplement.这里面只是普通的葡萄糖注射液哦，平平无奇的能量补充剂而已。

(Florence uncaps the syringe and gulps down the contents of the liquid within, then licks her lips clean.)（芙洛伦掰开注射器，将里面的液体一饮而尽，然后用舌头舔了舔嘴角。）

(While she seems a little... forward, a proper medical Doll would probably have a hard time doing any harm to a human being. With that in mind, she can be trusted for the time being.)（尽管看上去有些大胆，但如果是合规的医疗人形的话，很难对人类造成什么伤害，从这一点来说，她暂时是值得信赖的。）

(More importantly—she feels familiar. I realized that the moment I saw her. We knew each other, I'm sure of it. And judging by her reaction, it's very likely that she is—or at least, she used to be—a friend of mine.)（更重要的是——熟悉感。见到她时我就意识到了，我和她，一定是认识的。而从她的反应来看，她有很大的可能是——或者曾经是——我的人形伙伴。）

FlorenceOh my, you have an interesting look on your face.哎呀，指挥官的表情，很有趣哦。

FlorenceMuch as I'd like to punish you for forgetting me; an amnesiac Commander, huh. That might open up more interesting ways for us to have fun.虽然很想惩罚你这个把我都忘记了的人，不过，失忆的指挥官……说不定，反而能有更多惊喜的玩法呢。

(I suddenly want to rescind my evaluation of her trustworthiness.)（我突然很想撤回刚才对她产生的信任。）

FlorenceOh well, it can't be helped, then. I'll just have to introduce myself again for your sake.没办法啦，为了指挥官，我就再自我介绍一遍吧。

FlorenceMy name is Florence, and as you can see, I am the manager of this amusement park. For the time being, of course~ And right now, I am your caring and reliable guide as you travel through it.我叫芙洛伦，如你所见，是这座乐园的管理者，当然，是暂时的~而现在，我将作为你亲切而可靠的向导，带你游玩这座游乐园。

(...A manager. This seems somewhat different from the impression I've formed of her in such a short time.)（……管理者。这和我认知中的她，似乎有些不同。）

CommanderEven though you're a medical Doll?明明是个医疗人形？

FlorenceMedical Dolls can do many things.医疗人形能做的事情反而更多哦。

(She doesn't elaborate and returns to what she was saying earlier.)（她没有进行详细的解释，继续回到了刚才的话题。）

FlorenceAs for calling you "Commander", well, many people have called you that. But if you don't like that form of address, shall I call you something else?至于“指挥官”嘛，很多人都这样称呼你哦。但如果你不喜欢我这样叫你，要不要换一个称呼？

FlorenceLike, hm— "Dear Customer", "Master", "Senpai", "Boss", or "Caretaker"?比如——“客人”“主人”“前辈”“老板”“长官”？

(Why do these titles sound more and more familiar...)（怎么这些称呼听上去越来越耳熟了……）

FlorenceOr are you saying you'd prefer that I call you—"Darling"?还是说，你更喜欢我叫你——“亲爱的”？

(This Doll that I've met less than 10 minutes ago flashes me a coquettish smile before sliding up to my ear and breathing into it with a hot, moist whisper.)（这位刚和我见面没超过十分钟的人形，就这样狡猾地笑着，凑到了我的耳边，轻轻地呼出了一口温热的气息。）

(I reflexively take two steps back, drawing away from her.)（我下意识后撤两步，和她拉开距离。）

CommanderI'll pass... Just call me something normal, like "Commander".免了吧……普通地叫我指挥官就好了。

FlorenceAlright then, if you say so, Darling.好吧，既然亲爱的都这么说了。

(She smiles playfully at me.)（她露出了有些狡猾的笑容。）

FlorenceNow then, since we've gotten you up to speed, shall we begin our tour?既然了解了情况，我们就快点开始游玩吧？

(Florence grabs my hand with a certainty that brooks no refusal and drags me toward the amusement park.)（芙洛伦不容置疑地牵起我的手，拉着我就向游乐园走去。）

CommanderWait, a "tour"?等等，游玩？

FlorenceDid you really only come here to sleep, Commander?难道指挥官真的只是来这里睡觉的？

(Much as I would like to give her a concrete answer, the insides of my head are still murky and I cannot concretely state the reason why I came here.)（我很想给出一个明确的答案，但对于大脑一片模糊的我来说，我实在无法确切说出自己到这里来的目的。）

(What I can be sure of is that it definitely was not just to play around.)（可以肯定的是，一定不是单纯来进行游玩的。）

FlorenceNo matter how hard you think about it, you won't be able to leave, right?想再多，指挥官也已经无法离开了不是吗？

(I "can't leave"? What does that mean?)（“无法离开”？是什么意思？）

FlorenceHmm, as for what it means... You'll find out in a bit. In any case, I'd recommend that you just relax and enjoy yourself for a bit. Who knows, perhaps your real objective might be hidden in there somewhere, no?唔，是什么意思呢……指挥官等下就知道咯。总之，我的建议是倒不如放下心来，好好享受一下，说不定，指挥官真正的目的，就藏在里面哦？

(Florence doesn't bother waiting for a response and heads into the amusement park. Flower petals and ribbons suddenly appear in her wake.)（芙洛伦对我的困惑不置可否，抢先一步踏进游乐园中，飞散的鲜花和彩带立刻出现在了她的身后。）

(The sound of lively music grows louder and louder. The colors grow more intense and seem to throb in my head, making me feel a little dizzy. All this seems to be the prelude to some bizarre and psychedelic joke.)（热闹的音乐声越来越大，伴随着强烈晃动着的色彩，让我都有些目眩。似乎在昭示着一场荒唐而又迷幻的玩笑，正在拉开序幕。）

FlorenceIn any case, let me introduce you once more—to Thriller Wonderland!总之，让我再一次，正式地欢迎你来到——心跳游乐园！

(Almost at the same time, a pair of ELIDs appear, holding colorful balloons. The sight of them standing in the middle of an amusement park is both absurd and creepy at the same time.)（几乎在同时，她的身后出现了两只拿着彩色气球的生骸。它们呆滞地站在乐园中，带着一丝诡异的滑稽感。）

(A powerful sense of wrongness fills my mind.)（一种强烈的不合理感出现在我的脑海中。）

CommanderThings like that shouldn't exist in an amusement park, right?这不是游乐园里该有的东西吧？

FlorenceHm? But they're clowns that create an atmosphere of festivity and joy. Aren't those perfectly normal?诶？营造欢乐气氛的小丑，不是很常见吗？

CommanderClowns... Is that what these ELIDs are?小丑……你说这些生骸？

FlorenceIt's perfectly normal to have costumed clowns and NPCs in an amusement park, Commander. Why don't you try taking them down and see what prizes you get?游乐园中出现扮装小丑和NPC是很正常的事情啦，指挥官。比起那个，不如来看看打败它们有什么奖励吧！

(The sense of wrongness fades away into a blur, like the rest of the thoughts in my head, without Florence needing to convince me.)（几乎用不着芙洛伦说服我，不合理感便和我脑海中其他的意识一样，逐渐变得模糊而消散了。）

(It's as though I were dreaming.)（和做梦的感觉一样。）

CommanderIt's normal, you say? ...I guess it is.正常的事情……吗？大概是这样吧。

(I instinctively reach for the gun at my waist, a Makarov. It seems to have been by my side for ages, and it reminds me that even in my dreams, I am no cattle to be led to the slaughter. And besides, it doesn't look like Florence is just going to stand idly and watch either.)（我摸到腰间的配枪——一柄马卡洛夫，它似乎陪伴了我很久，也提醒着我，即便在梦中，我都绝不是任人宰割的类型。况且，芙洛伦看上去似乎也不准备只是旁观。）

CommanderAlright, let's... let's give it a shot, then.那就……试试吧。

Welcome Ceremony 欢迎仪式

FlorenceHehe... Well done, Commander. The "clowns" were so eager to meet you right after entering the amusement park.哼哼……不愧是指挥官，刚一进入游乐园，“小丑”们就已经等不及要来迎接你了呢。

FlorenceSurely they must have goodies on them!想必它们一定带来了好东西吧！

FlorenceAh, look! A gift from the "clowns"—a stamp book!啊！看来这是乐园的“小丑”们所带来的礼物——集章册！

FlorenceWhat a marvelous stroke of luck, Commander. You should hold on to it.指挥官，运气真好呢，快收下吧。

CommanderA stamp book?集章册？

(I look at the stamp book in my hands. The cover shows the amusement park. When I open it, I see little blurbs about the various rides and attractions. There is also a blank grid for stamps with a translucent chibi depiction of Florence's face as a background.)（我观察着手中的手册，上面的图像正是眼前的这座游乐园，翻开手册，内页上写满了各种游玩设施的介绍，还有一个印着芙洛伦卡通头像的空白盖章处。）

CommanderThis amusement park...这个游乐园……

(The sense of oddness wafts through my consciousness once again, but just like before, my befuddled mind ignores it.)（怪异的感觉再次弥漫开来，但同样地，它很快便被我已经模糊的大脑忽视了。）

FlorenceIs something wrong?怎么了吗？

(I look past Florence and examine the amusement park again, but I don't see anything unusual.)（当我越过芙洛伦，再次观察这座游乐园时，却并未发现有什么异常。）

CommanderNo, it's nothing.不，没什么。

CommanderEr, I'd like to ask... What's this stamp book for?呃，我是想问……这个集章册是有什么用？

FlorenceCommander, it's simple!指挥官，就是那个啦，那个！

FlorenceFor every ride and attraction you visit, you get a stamp. Hehe, not only do you get a reward for collecting each of the stamps, but if you get them all in sequence and complete the collection, you get a super special prize as well!游乐园限时活动，每游玩一次设施，就可以盖一枚印章。哼哼，不仅每得到一枚印章都可以获得奖励，只要按照上面的顺序，将印章收集完成后，还可以获得巨大惊喜奖励哦！

CommanderA prize?奖励？

FlorenceOh my, you hit on the important part right away.哎呀，指挥官，一下子就发现了重点哦。

FlorenceThe full-clear reward here is really appealing! In fact, a lot of people have come to this amusement park just for it!这里的全通奖励非常吸引人！甚至还有很多人是为了丰厚的通关奖励才来这个游乐园游玩的呢。

(Did I come here for it too?)（难道我也是为此而来的？）

CommanderAnd what might the reward be?通关奖励是什么？

FlorenceIt's anything you want from this amusement park.是这个游乐园中任何你想要的东西。

CommanderAnything?任何？

(I look at the Ferris wheel in the distance. Leaving aside the point of taking something like that away, the sheer difficulty of bringing it with me would be enough to give pause to anyone.)（我看向远处的摩天轮，先不说带走这里的东西有什么意义，带走它的困难程度也足以让人望而却步了。）

FlorenceYup, anything. Naturally, that includes the manager—namely, me!是的，任何。所以，也包括作为管理员的——我！

(Florence smirks, a hint of temptation in her smile.)（芙洛伦勾起唇角，笑容中带上了一些引诱的意味。）

FlorenceHow about that? Did that catch your interest?怎么样，心动了吗？

CommanderTaking you is fundamentally the same as taking the Ferris wheel...带走你和带走摩天轮没什么本质区别吧……

FlorenceOh Commander, do learn to read the room... Still, it's alright even if you're not sold on the idea right now. You'll just have to work through your confusion over the course of your tour. Everything will be made clear.真是不解风情啊，指挥官……不心动的话也没关系，反正指挥官现在感到疑惑的那些事情，只要完成游玩，一切都会清楚的。

CommanderThis all sounds like a scam.这听上去像是某种新型诈骗话术。

(After all, I'm not even sure what I'm thinking, and the fog in my brain refuses to clear.)（毕竟我自己都不知道我在想哪些事情，大脑中的雾气始终不肯散去。）

FlorenceA scam? But here, I'm the most trustworthy person that could ever be, Commander.诈骗？我已经是这里最值得你信任的人了，指挥官。

CommanderIs there anyone else here?这里还有其他人吗？

(I look around. While this is supposed to be an amusement park, it looks strangely deserted.)（我环顾四周，明明是游乐园，但这里却意外地冷清。）

FlorenceOf course there are! Our establishment is very popular; the crowd flooded in the moment our gates opened. Ah, but I must point out that once you start your tour, you can't back out halfway through. If you do, you'll be punished severely!当然有！我们游乐园可是很热门的，大家只是一开园就进去了。 啊，不过，我要特别提醒一下，一旦开始游玩，是不可以中途强制退出的哦，如果退出的话，可是有很严厉的惩罚呢！

CommanderYeah, that REALLY sounds like a scam. You can go in easily but have a hard time coming out. Surely nothing ill can come of it.那不是更像诈骗了吗？进去容易出来难的事能是什么好事……

(Still, no matter how much they try to forbid me from leaving, I can always walk out the front door—)（不过，无论这里再怎么禁止退出，只要从门口堂堂正正离开的话——）

(It is at this point that I realize that the fancy gate through which I entered has suddenly vanished.)（这时我才发现，刚才我踏入的那个气派的大门，突然消失了。）

(In its place is a structure that seems out of place in an amusement park. Beyond it are high walls that stretch as far as the eye can see.)（取而代之的则是一幢和游乐园格格不入的建筑，更远的地方，则竖起了高高的围墙，一眼看不到尽头。）

FlorenceDon't worry, it's fine. After all, you were extra lucky today and got a guide in the form of me, the manager—没关系没关系的，因为指挥官今天运气特别的好，得到了身为乐园管理员的我——

FlorenceAnd we can traverse the whole amusement park together!作为向导，陪同游玩整个游乐园！

(Florence continues with her exaggeratedly enthusiastic spiel, like she hasn't noticed anything strange at all.)（芙洛伦却像是没有注意到这样奇怪的一幕一样，持续对我散发着她那有些夸张的热情。）

(There are far too many abnormal things going on, and after finding myself surrounded by so much wrongness, I decide to abandon my struggles and accept it all.)（反常的事情实在是太多，当我完全被各种不合理感包围后，我干脆放弃了挣扎，接受了一切的不合理。）

CommanderI don't plan to hire a guide.我并没有请向导的打算。

FlorenceBut hiring me as a guide is free, you know?请我当向导可是免费的哦？

CommanderI might end up paying for it anyway.但我可能要收费。

FlorenceThat's so mean, Commander. Visiting an amusement park by yourself is very lonely, you know. Have you considered that things might be completely different with me around?好过分的话啊，指挥官。一个人在游乐园玩很孤独的，有我在可就完全不一样了哦？

(Florence wraps herself around my arm and flashes me a wicked grin.)（芙洛伦抱着我的手臂，狡黠地笑了笑。）

FlorenceI'm sure a kind and harmless medical Doll like myself could take care of any medical emergencies that might pop up~像我这样善良而又无害的医疗人形，可以随时为指挥官处理一些紧急情况。

CommanderSo you've gone from scamming to high-pressure sales tactics now?在诈骗话术之后又开始推销了吗？

FlorenceAlso, I'm still the manager and have access to insider information and certain behind-the-scenes options. Cheating could save you a lot of trouble in winning the grand prize.而且我还是管理员，有内部消息，还可以暗箱操作哦。通过作弊拿下大奖可能会省不少力气呢。

(I vaguely remember hearing a line like this in one of those anti-scam videos somewhere.)（我隐约记得似乎在什么反诈电影里看到过类似的台词。）

CommanderIf you said less, I might trust you more.你少说点话，我或许还会觉得你可信一些。

(However, her response is engendering a sense of familiarity in me, and I can't deny the urge to trust her.)（不过，她的反应反而让我产生了一种熟悉感，不可否认，我对她的信任正在加深。）

(In fact, I'm starting to get the vague sense that what I'm looking for is inextricably tied up with her.)（我隐约意识到，她似乎和我在寻找的东西，有着不浅的关联。）

CommanderStill, if we travel together—不过，一起行动的话，其实……

FlorenceIt's decided, then!那就这么说好了！

(Florence cuts in excitedly before I can finish speaking.)（我的话还没说完，芙洛伦便抢先开始雀跃起来。）

(This amusement park is shrouded in mystery, and it seems the key to unraveling these mysteries is standing before me.)（眼前的游乐园迷雾重重，而解决这场谜题的钥匙，似乎已经在我的眼前了。）

FlorenceAh, what a refreshingly direct decision! Now then, our odyssey through Thriller Wonderland begins now!啊啊，真是让人爽快的决定啊！那么，和指挥官一起的心跳游乐园旅程，就要开始啦！

Mandatory Game 强制游戏

(A massive steel structure looms silently before us. Its metal rails flow smoothly and aesthetically, incorporating steep drops, hard turns, and dizzying spirals, and even a 90-degree direct downward descent. It gleams with a metallic sheen in the sunlight, resembling nothing so much as a tangle of barbed wire.)（巨大的钢铁构造物，沉默地矗立在我的眼前，金属轨道的曲线流畅而又富有美感，包含了大幅度的俯冲、急转弯和盘旋，甚至还有垂直的俯冲段，在阳光下闪烁着金属的光泽，就像是一团纠缠在一起的金属丝线。）

(Even the launch mechanism is designed to look like some vast, ferocious beast with its distinct and sharp angles. It's not hard to imagine what kind of sound its engine will make.)（连发射装置都做成了极具威慑力的庞大野兽形状，棱角分明，不难想象发动机启动后，会发出怎样的声音。）

FlorenceTadaaaah! Commander, come look! This is our most exciting attraction—the "Heartbeat Accelerator 9000"!锵锵——！指挥官，快看，这就是这里最惊险刺激的游玩项目——“心跳加速器9000”。

(Granted, it looks quite impressive, but in the end it's just a roller coaster.)（虽然很壮观，但不管怎么看，它都只是过山车而已。）

CommanderLooks like this is the first item on our itinerary.看来，这就是第一个游玩项目了。

(Florence drags me over to the ride entrance, where the patrons are gathered.)（芙洛伦拉着我来到登记处时，这里已经聚集了不少的游客。）

CommanderSo there really were other guests here.原来还真有其他游客。

(Strangely enough, despite not having seen any other patrons on the way here, there's over ten people waiting in front of the ride.)（明明刚才一路上，都没有见到任何游客，却在这里聚集了十几个人。）

FlorenceHehe, I told you, right? While we can't compare to D*****land or W***** Bros. World, it's not as though this amusement park is a ghost town.哼哼，就像我说的吧？虽然比不上迪███和██影城，但我们游乐园也不是没人来的哦。

(However, there seems to be a strange mood in the air, unlike the festive atmosphere I was expecting. In fact, judging from the looks on the guests' faces, this strangeness seems to have been going on for some time now.)（只不过，和我预想中的欢乐氛围不同，这里的气氛有些怪异，不仅如此，从人们的表情上来看，这份怪异已经持续了一段时间了。）

???Ai...Aiiieeeee!噫……噫呀！

(My attention is drawn by a girl's shriek. When I look toward her, I see that her eyes are shrouded by a damp mist, and a frightened-looking woman is holding onto her collar.)（一名少女的惊呼声吸引了我的注意，我看向她时，她慌乱的眼神被潮湿的雾气所覆盖着，衣领正被另一名看上去有些惊恐的女性捏在手里。）

Frightened WomanEsme... How many times have we gone on this ride now?埃斯梅……你告诉我，这是我们第几次玩这台游乐设施了？

EsmeEr... This ought to be our first time here, right? What are you talking about, we only just came here...不……不是第一次吗？你在说什么啊，我们才刚来这座游乐园啊……

Frightened WomanNo! Noooo! This definitely isn't our first time here!不对！！不对！！这绝对不是第一次！！

(The frightened woman grows more afraid after that. Her grip tightens unconsciously, causing Esme to groan in pain as she starts having trouble breathing.)（惊恐的女性闻言后更加激动了，她手上的力道不自觉加深着，让呼吸困难的埃斯梅再次发出了痛苦的声音。）

EsmeAh, let... let go of me, I can't breathe...那个，你……你先放开我，我不能呼吸了……

Frightened Woman...Ah. Right, right, this is, this is only your second time on the roller coaster.……啊。对，你，你才第二次玩这个过山车。

(She falls silent and lets go. Esme slowly slumps to the ground.)（她沉默着，松开了手，埃斯梅便缓缓滑落到了地上。）

(But in the next moment, the frightened woman's eyes go wide again.)（但下一刻，惊恐的女性再次睁大了双眼。）

Frightened WomanBut... But I've been on this ride countless times! It can't be!! I can't be the only one who's realized this!!! Hey, Mireille!!!! Pauline!!!!! You've both noticed, right?!但我……但我已经玩了很多次了啊！不可能！！不可能只有我一个人发现了！！喂，米雷耶、珀琳，你们都发现了吧？

(She casts her eyes around helplessly like she's fallen into water and clutches at the surrounding people like they're life vests, shaking them hard and begging them for a satisfactory answer.)（就像是落水的人一样，她看上去有些无助，只能竭力抓住身边的人，然后用力摇晃着，渴求着他们能够给她一个称心的答案。）

CommanderI mean, surely it's no big deal if she's already ridden the roller coaster before, right?就算已经玩过了这台过山车，也不是什么大事吧？

CommanderIf you enjoyed the ride, then going on it several more times surely wouldn't be an issue.碰到喜欢的游乐设施，多玩几次并不奇怪。

FlorenceOh yes, you've ridden it with me a number of times.是啊，指挥官经常会陪我坐好几轮呢。

(After noticing me, the panicked woman immediately grabs me like she did Esme.)（注意到我之后，她立刻像抓着埃斯梅那样抓住了我。）

Frightened WomanAnd you!!!!!还有你！！！

(But after seeing my face, she becomes even more frightened.)（但看到我的脸后，她的表情却变得更加惊恐了。）

Frightened WomanNo, you, who are you...不对，你，你是谁……

Frightened WomanI've never seen you before.我没有见过你。

CommanderWhat a coincidence, I've never seen you before either.巧了，我也没有见过你。

(Not only have I never seen this woman before, I don't know anyone here apart from Florence. There isn't even a hint of vague familiarity like what I got from her.)（不光没有见过她，除了芙洛伦之外，我一个都不认识，连类似对芙洛伦的那种隐约熟悉的感觉也没有。）

Esme…I mean, this is our first time in this amusement park, right? In that case, not knowing and not having seen each other before would be perfectly reasonable.……那个，我们都是第一次来这个游乐园吧？又不认识，之前没有见过很正常呀。

EsmeAlthough I have no idea how you know my name, even though we clearly haven't met before...虽然不知道为什么，明明没有见过，你却知道我的名字……

Frightened WomanWhat?什么？

Frightened WomanY-you don't know me? You don't know who I am?!你，你不认识我？不知道我是谁？？

EsmeI, er, should I know...?我，我应该知道吗……？

Frightened WomanI'm Mia! We've been on this roller coaster before!! Do you really not remember?我叫米娅，我们已经一起玩过这个过山车了！！你完全不记得吗？

MiaAnd that smiling manager over there—she's been guiding us here over and over again! We're stuck here! D-do you know that?那个笑眯眯的管理员——她一直引导我们来玩这个，我们被困在这里了啊！！你，你明白吗？！

(Esme looks troubled. She clearly has no idea what Mia is talking about and looks at me in confusion.)（埃斯梅面露难色，显然是完全无法理解米娅说的话，她有些犯难地看向我。）

MiaAnd I know all kinds of things about you... Hey, do you remember, Esme? We used to work at Mangi...我还知道更多关于你的事……喂，埃斯梅，你不记得了吗？我们之前都在曼尼安保……

FlorenceRight—As the park manager, I'll take care of this.好——这件事就让身为管理员的我来解决。

(Before Mia can finish, Florence steps into the dispute like she's going to put an end to it.)（像是要打断什么一样，在米娅说完所有的话之前，芙洛伦抢先一步介入了这场争执。）

FlorenceCalm down. This isn't a big deal, is it?冷静点，也不是什么大事不是吗？

EsmeHuh... But... I kind of... I kind of remember what Miss Mia was talking about.诶……但是，米娅小姐……说的事情，我似乎有点印象。

FlorenceReally? Are you sure you're not being tricked by some stranger?真的吗？可别被来路不明的人骗了哦？

MiaHey! Don't listen to that Doll! She's the biggest liar of them all! Esme, you were a Doll engineer before, weren't you? Hurry up and think of a way to scrap her!喂，别听这个人形乱说，她才是最大的骗子！！埃斯梅，你之前不是人形工程师吗？快点想办法把她拆掉啊！

(Esme glances at Florence in a panic and then looks incredulously at herself.)（埃斯梅惊慌地看了一眼芙洛伦，又用难以置信的目光指了指自己。）

EsmeHuh? You... you mean me?啊？我……我吗？

FlorenceOh no, that won't do. Attacking the manager is against the rules, and you'll be punished for it.不行哦，袭击管理员可是违规的，要接受处罚的。

MiaYou too! Think of something too!! Pauline, the mission failed and it's your fault! It's all your fault!!!你也想想办法啊！！珀琳，任务失败了，都是你害的！！都是你害的！

(Mia turns, but just as she's about to rush toward another nearby woman, Florence blocks her path.)（米娅转头，想要冲向另一个距离她不算远的女性身边，却被芙洛伦拦下了。）

FlorenceRight, that's enough for appetizers, don't you think?好啦，餐前小品就到此为止吧？

(Once again, Florence interrupts Mia's hysterical outburst. Comically dressed ELIDs appear amidst an explosion of flower petals and ribbons, surrounding Florence. The contrast of the threat they pose against her amusement makes the entire scene seem strangely surreal.)（芙洛伦再次打断了米娅有些发狂的举动。装扮滑稽的生骸伴随着漫天花瓣和彩带出现，环绕在芙洛伦的身旁，看着她的样子，威胁中带着一丝欢快，气氛一下子变得十分微妙。）

FlorenceIt would be a shame if our guests who wanted a pulse-pounding experience couldn't board the "Heartbeat Accelerator 9000" because of such antics, no?对于期待着心跳体验的游客们来说，一直因为这种闹剧而无法登上“心跳加速器9000”，实在是太遗憾了吧？

FlorenceThis is an amusement park, a place of joy, happiness, adventure, and never-ending miracles!这里可是游乐园，是欢乐和幸福的冒险，还有着永不停歇的奇迹！

FlorenceSo please, everyone, forget your unhappiness, board the ride, and get ready for an adventure!所以，请大家忘记所有的不愉快，快点登上游玩设施，准备迎接冒险吧！

(Her encouragement seems to have worked, and the majority of the guests begin slowly moving toward the roller coaster. The sole exception is Mia, who screams.)（就在不少人逐渐接受了鼓动，跃跃欲试地走上过山车时，只有米娅惊声尖叫了起来。）

MiaAgain... I'm going to... I'm going to ride it again...又……又要……再一次登上这个……

MiaNo... nonononono, I don't want this, I don't want this...我不要……不要不要不要不要不要……

MiaHey, did you hear me?! I'm done with this! I want off this ride!喂，你没听到吗？！我不玩了，我要退出！让我离开！！

(The guests who have just boarded the roller coaster see Mia, they begin to hesitate again.)（刚登上过山车的人们，看到米娅的样子，也再次犹豫了起来。）

Florence...It can't be helped, I guess.……真没办法。

(Florence sighs quietly, then quickly steps forward, physically blocking Mia before smiling brilliantly to all the other guests.)（芙洛伦小声叹了口气，然后上前一步，用身体挡住了米娅，然后眯起眼睛，对所有游客露出了一个灿烂的笑容。）

MiaYou, get out of—你给我闪开……

(Florence immediately drowns out Mia's voice with her own.)（芙洛伦马上就用更大的声音盖过了米娅的抱怨。）

FlorenceDon't worry, everyone, this is a must-see, blink and you'll miss it—别担心，大家，这是保留节目，千万不要眨眼——

(And then, she turns a full circle. When she finishes, Mia has vanished from behind her.)（随后，她原地转了一圈，再侧过身时，身后的米娅就已经消失了。）

FlorenceStupendous!奇迹！

All GuestsEhhhhh?!欸——！！！

(Exclaimed shouts fill the air, and many of the guests look behind Florence, but no matter how hard they try, they can't find the missing Mia.)（现场惊讶声一片，不少人探头看向芙洛伦的身后，但无论怎么找，都无法找到消失的米娅。）

FlorenceThank you! Now then, please prepare for an exhilarating experience!谢谢！接下来，就请大家继续紧张刺激的游玩吧！

(Florence bows and then boards the roller coaster as well.)（芙洛伦简单行礼后，便也上了过山车。）

CommanderFlorence?芙洛伦？

(Upon hearing me call her name, she immediately turns to me with a smile on her face.)（听到我喊她，她马上笑着转向我。）

FlorenceOh, Commander, what a coincidence, there just so happens to be an empty seat beside you.啊，指挥官，好幸运，你旁边刚好有一个空位诶。

CommanderCoincidence my ass, you were the one who planned the seating arrangements, weren't you?什么“刚好”，安排座位的人不就是你吗？

FlorenceThen I shall gladly avail myself of the seat next to you.那我就不客气地坐在指挥官身边咯。

Commander...You're riding this with us?……你也要坐吗？

FlorenceYou'll trust me more this way, won't you?这样指挥官才能更加信任我吧？

(She bends down and presses up against me, then grabs the safety belt buckle by the side of my seat.)（她俯身贴近我，然后抓住了我座椅旁边的安全带环扣。）

FlorenceCome, come, let the careful Miss Manager do up your seatbelt for you, hehehe...来，让严谨的管理员小姐特别为你扣好安全带吧，嘿嘿嘿……

CommanderWhere did Mia go?米娅去哪了？

(Suddenly, several "costumed clowns" show up below the roller coaster.)（突然，过山车下方，几个“扮装小丑”出现在了我的视线里。）

FlorenceAh, well, I couldn't do anything about that. Guests who break the rules have to be punished.啊，这个啊，我也没办法，违规的游客必须接受惩罚。

(Florence doesn't directly answer my question, but now I'm curious about this so-called "punishment".)（芙洛伦没有直接回答我的问题，却让我对所谓的“惩罚”，提起了好奇心。）

CommanderIsn't it a little too late to be saying that now?现在才说，是不是有些太晚了？

(Even as I reply to Florence, my eyes can't leave those "costumed clowns".)（我随意地接着芙洛伦的话，视线却无法离开那些“扮装小丑”。）

(These scary-looking clowns are currently dragging the sole person who refused to board the roller coaster—Mia—toward a dark place.)（这些可怖的小丑，正在将那名唯一拒绝登上过山车的人——米娅缓缓地拖拽向黑暗的深处。）

FlorenceCommander, these are the rules. If you stop playing, refuse to play, or lose, you will be penalized. That's what makes the prize so valuable.指挥官，规则就是如此，中止游玩、拒绝游玩甚至在游玩中输掉，都会遭到处罚的，正因如此，奖励才显得弥足珍贵。

(In the next moment, the launcher roars loudly and sends everyone flying along the tracks, up into the sky at high speed.)（下一刻，伴随着发动机的巨大声响，所有人都像是弹药一样，沿着轨道，被弹射到了高空之中。）

Heartbeat Accelerator 9000 心跳加速器9000

Other GuestsAAAAAAIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—!呀啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊——！！！

(The wind howls as it races past us. The screams and the way the world is spinning set my heart racing.)（呼啸的风声，此起彼伏的尖叫声，目光所及的视野天旋地转，一切都令人心率加速。）

(But when I turn to look beside me—)（但当我转头看向身边时——）

FlorenceHahaha—哈哈哈——

FlorenceHAHAHAHAHAHA—!哈哈哈哈哈哈——！

FlorenceAhhhh—This feels great!啊——真是令人舒服啊！

(Florence is laughing excitedly.)（芙洛伦正在兴奋地笑着。）

FlorenceAh, so you were peeping at me too, Commander.啊，指挥官也在偷看我呢。

(Florence glances to her side, and it is then that I realize that she looks far more excited than before.)（芙洛伦侧着脸看向我，这时我才发现，她现在的表情，比刚才的还要兴奋数倍。）

CommanderHave we taken the roller coaster together before?我们一起坐过过山车吗？

(For some reason, all this seems strangely familiar to me, as though I've gone on a ride like this in an amusement park a long time ago.)（不知为何，这种场景让我有了一种熟悉感，总觉得在某个有些久远的过去，我们似乎也一同在游乐园里这么游玩过。）

FlorenceDo you remember at last, Commander?终于想起来了吗，指挥官？

CommanderIt just feels familiar.只是有种熟悉感而已。

CommanderI'd like to ask a question.我在想一个问题。

CommanderIs it possible that Mia wasn't crazy and that what she said might be true?也许米娅并没有发狂，她说的很可能都是真的。

(Just like what Florence said about knowing me and how many people called me "Commander".)（就像芙洛伦告诉了我，她认识我，很多人都称我为“指挥官”一样。）

(Esme might have been like me and forgotten many things, while Mia might be like Florence, knowing more about the situation.)（埃斯梅很可能就像我一样，忘记了不少东西；而米娅就像芙洛伦一样，知道更多的信息。）

(However, she had chosen a bad way of expressing herself. Perhaps she had experienced something that caused her to have a breakdown and made it hard for her to convey what she knew.)（只是因为表达方式有误，也或许是她确实经历了什么，以至于她情绪失控，难以传达出她所知道的信息。）

FlorenceCommander, do you NEED to think about this question right now?指挥官，这是一定要现在思考的问题吗？

CommanderIs there a reason I shouldn't?不行吗？

(Florence smiles wickedly.)（芙洛伦露出了一个狡猾的微笑。）

FlorenceBeing indecisive can be very dangerous, Commander.三心二意的话可能会很危险哦，指挥官。

FlorenceWell, it's about time. The highlight is coming up, here comes the surprise—差不多也到时候了，接下来可是重头戏，小心惊喜——

(As she finishes speaking, the world turns black before me.)（她的话音刚落，眼前的视野就在一瞬间变成了一片漆黑。）

Other PlayersAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！！！！！

(The screams are far more hideous than before, and it's definitely not just because of the sudden darkness.)（叫声凄厉到非比寻常，那绝非因为突然的黑暗而造成的。）

CommanderAre we inside a tunnel?进入隧道了？

Panicked GuestFleur!!芙勒！！

FleurAaahhhh, Mireille, where are you? I can't see you...呀啊，米雷耶，你在哪？我看不到你了……

(The air suddenly turns damp and fills with the sickly sweet scent of rust. In the darkness, the glint of light reflecting off metal winks in and out of view.)（腥甜的锈蚀气味弥漫在突然变得有些湿润的空气里，黑暗中，金属反射所带来的光泽感若隐若现。）

FlorenceLadies and gentlemen, dear guests, I'd like to inform you of an upcoming surprise—everyone will be enjoying a special play experience!各位游客各位玩家，临时告诉大家一个惊喜的消息，这次，大家会体验到特别的游玩体验哦！

(In contrast to the others, Florence has stood up and is loudly shouting amidst the strange atmosphere.)（芙洛伦却在这怪异的气氛中站起身来兴奋地大喊。）

FlorenceAll your safety harnesses have been undone! Please find a way to avoid the attacks from the "clowns" while not being flung off!各位的安全卡扣已经解开！请大家想办法，让自己在不被摔下去的基础上，躲过“小丑”的追击吧！

CommanderAre you out of your damn mind?! Is this even a roller coaster anymore?!你疯了，这还算过山车吗？！

FlorenceI never said it was a roller coaster, I said it was the "Heartbeat Accelerator 9000"~我可没说这是过山车啊，是“心跳加速器9000”哦。

(Everyone, myself included, grips their armrests tightly.)（包括我在内，所有的游客都抓紧了手中的扶手。）

FleurAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！

(The sound of ripping and tearing flesh fills the air. I duck reflexively and narrowly dodge a flying chunk of ruined meat that splashes still-warm blood on my face.)（血肉撕裂的声音传来，我低头躲开飞过来的、还带有温度的残块，却仍旧有少许温热的液体，迸射到了我的脸上。）

(No, if you factor in the sound of the wind in here—)（不，如果结合这里的风声来看的话——）

CommanderThese things in the tunnel are—!隧道里的东西是——！

Costumed Clown—!——！！

EsmeAaaiiiiiieeeee—! Keep—keep away from meeee!噫呀啊啊啊啊啊——！不，不要过来！！

CommanderFlorence, get ready for battle!芙洛伦，准备作战！

FlorenceGot it~ I'll work with you, Commander, anytime, anywhere~明白~我会好好配合指挥官的，随时、随地都可以哦。

Heartbeat Accelerator 9000 心跳加速器9000

FlorenceNow then, congratulations to all you players for completing a course of the "Heartbeat Accelerator 9000"!那么现在，恭喜各位玩家！顺利完成了“心跳加速器9000”的游玩！

FlorencePlease come over here to collect your stamps, and then you can redeem your prize!需要给集章册盖章的到这边来，之后就可以领取奖励了哦！

(People are dead.)（有人死了。）

(The celebratory confetti falls on our bloodstained bodies, making it feel as though everything that had just happened was just a bad dream.)（庆祝的彩带飘落到身上还沾着血液的人们身上，令人几乎要怀疑刚才的事故只是一场噩梦。）

EsmeI don't want to ride anymore... I almost... I almost died...我再也不要玩这个了……差点……差点就要死掉了……

Panicked GuestYou're still alive, aren't you? Fleur actually died!你这不是没死吗，芙勒可是真的死掉了啊！

Panicked GuestShe was right beside me, I saw it all... Those sawblades cut off her arm, and then those monsters...就在我旁边，我看得很清楚……被那个锯齿砍断了手臂后，又被那些怪物……

(In contrast to Florence's cheerfulness, the other players who had barely survived this ordeal are anything but happy. In addition, their nerves had been wound too tight, which led to hostility developing between them.)（与热情的芙洛伦相反，劫后余生的玩家们看上去似乎并没有那么开心，不仅如此，神经过度紧张所带来的紧绷感，滋生了他们彼此之间的敌意。）

???Didn't she die because YOU pushed her out, Mireille?不是因为你把她推出去了，她才会死的吗？米雷耶。

(A cold, sharp voice interrupts her, even speaking her name.)（一个冷淡的声音，尖锐地打断了那名惊慌的游客，甚至喊出了她的名字。）

EsmeHuh? Is that true?诶？是这样吗？

MireilleI... I just... It was a reflex... and... if I hadn't done it, I would have died instead!我，我只是下意识地……而且……不那样的话，死的人就会是我了啊！

EsmeAhhh... but even so... you...啊……但是就算这样……也……

(Esme backs away, as though she's afraid of Mireille.)（埃斯梅怯懦地后退了一步，似乎在害怕米雷耶。）

MireilleAnd besides... shouldn't you be the questionable one here? I don't even know you, so how do you know my name?而且……说到底，有问题的人应该是你才对吧，我根本不认识你，你怎么会知道我的名字？

???...Why? Is it strange?……怎么了，很奇怪吗？

MireilleOf course it is! Are you trying to gloss over what happened?这是理所当然的吧！你是想敷衍过去吗？

EsmeEh? Now that you mention it, that... that Miss Mia just now, she seemed to know my name too...诶？这么说来，刚才的……米娅小姐，似乎也知道我的名字……

MireilleYeah, she's probably like that Mia, she knows more than us... Hmph, maybe she'll snap and go crazy like Mia too...是啊，恐怕，这家伙也和那个米娅一样，比我们知道的更多…… 哼，说不定也会和米娅一样，不知道什么时候就会发疯……

(Mireille's words frighten Esme even more, and she backs several steps away from the other woman, who's staring Mireille down.)（听到米雷耶的话，埃斯梅似乎感到更加害怕了，向另一个方向也后退了几步，疏远了正在与米雷耶针锋相对的女性。）

???Mireille, you knew Fleur's name as well, right? It's just a name, it doesn't mean anything.米雷耶，你也知道芙勒的名字，不是吗？只是一个名字，不能说明什么。

MireilleBut that's... That's because she said my name first, so I asked her name!那是因为……她先说出了我的名字，所以我也问了她的名字！

MireilleAlso, when I asked her why she knew my name, she didn't answer me either, just like you! All she did was spout a bunch of crazy talk!而且在我反问她为什么知道我的名字时，她也像你一样，没有回答我，只是说了一堆疯疯癫癫的话！

MireilleWhen you think about it, both you and Mia seem really suspicious.说到底她和你还有米娅都很可疑。

???Yes, which is why it's perfectly normal to push out said suspicious people when danger strikes, right?嗯，所以遇到危险，把可疑的人推出去也是很正常的？

MireilleHah?哈？

MireilleIsn't doing anything to survive a human's basic instinct?为了活下去而不择手段才是人类的本能吧？

MireilleYou, on the other hand, you haven't explained how you know who anyone is. Now who's the suspicious one here?而你到现在都没有解释，你们到底是怎么知道其他人身份的。到底谁更可疑，还用说吗？

???Are you trying to compare knowing names to taking lives? You're just trying to deflect suspicion from yourself.名字和人命没有可比性吧？你只是想泼脏水。

MireilleBut you and Mia are so damn shady that I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't the monsters who killed Fleur just now—but you!但像你和米娅这么可疑的人，说不定刚才杀死芙勒的根本不是怪物——而是你！

FlorenceRight, that's enough!好——了！

(Florence steps in to interrupt their argument before it can escalate further.)（就在争吵还在持续升级时，芙洛伦打断了她们的对话。）

FlorenceThis is the most exciting part, reward time. You worked so hard to clear this round of the game, don't you want to be rewarded for it?现在可是最令人兴奋的奖励时间哦，难得又通关了一场游戏，不去领取奖励吗？

???...I was about to go. You should save your strength for consoling the rest of these psychos.……我正准备去。比起我来说，还是安抚一下那些躁动的家伙比较好。

???Also, you'll learn what you're curious about after they give out the prize.另外，你们好奇的事情，在奖励结束后，很快就会知道了。

(She glares coldly at Mireille and Esme before turning to leave.)（她冷淡地看了一眼米雷耶和埃斯梅，率先一步离开了这里。）

EsmeHuh? W-what does that mean?诶？这，这是什么意思？

MireilleIs she saying that the prize is connected to our personal information?她的意思是，我们的信息情报，与奖励有关？

(Mireille and Esme exchange looks, as though they're trying to figure out what she meant by it.)（米雷耶和埃斯梅交换了一个眼神，像是在思索她这句话的含义。）

MireilleMia also mentioned riding the roller coaster many times... Did she do it too? Judging by how she's taking everything in stride, that's got to be it.米娅也提到了自己玩过很多次过山车……难道，这家伙也是？看她那熟练的样子，嗯，八成是这样没错了。

MireilleStill, why didn't they get the clear prize even after playing so many times? Mia didn't look like she liked it that much. Could there be another reason?不过，她们为什么玩了那么多次，还没有获得通关奖励？米娅那副样子，也不像很爱玩的人。难道还有什么别的原因？

Mireille...Ahhh, forget it, not much point thinking about that now!……算了，现在想不了那么多了！

(Mireille pauses to think for a moment, then looks toward the cold-faced woman's receding silhouette and decides to go after her.)（米雷耶思索了片刻，看着那名冷淡的女性越走越远的背影，决定还是追了上去。）

EsmeEhhh? You're all going? W-wait for me, don't leave me alone here!!诶，诶，你们都走了？等，等等我，不要留下我一个人！！

(Esme frantically chases after them.)（埃斯梅也慌慌张张地追了上去。）

(The other guests steadily leave as directed by Florence, until I'm the only one left here.)（其他的游客都陆续在芙洛伦的指引下散开，直到这里只剩下我一个人。）

CommanderWhat happened just now... That ought to count as a major accident, right?刚才发生的事情……算重大事故吧？

(After all, a patron dying at a normal amusement park would be sufficient to get the whole place shut down for several months.)（毕竟如果是普通的游乐园，在设施上闹出人命，足够让它们休整几个月了。）

(However, the strange mind-dulling mood in the air seems to have gotten to all the guests, and none of them are making a big deal out of it, myself included.)（只不过，或许是乐园里迷幻的气氛影响着游客，所有人都没有将这件事当成什么大事，就连我也不例外。）

FlorenceIt's not an accident, this is how the park was designed.不是事故，游乐设施的设计就是这样。

CommanderSay what?你说什么？

FlorenceYou need to risk big to win big. That's what makes it so fascinating.高额的收益总是伴随着巨大的风险的，正是这样才会令人沉迷。

FlorenceThat's why I'll give you a special reminder, Commander: the rides here are more thrilling than most, and losing your life before clearing a stage is perfectly normal.所以，指挥官，我特别提醒你一下吧，这里的设施都比较刺激，在通关之前，随时丢掉性命也是很正常的啦。

CommanderNormal? Then what if everyone dies?正常？如果所有人都死了怎么办？

FlorenceThis is an amusement park. We have no shortage of guests here, especially in a place with no queues.这里可是游乐园，游乐园从不缺少客人，尤其是不排队的游乐园。

CommanderThen what do I stand to gain? Leaving aside the grand prize for clearing everything, you said that this is reward time, right? What kind of reward can I expect to receive?那收益呢？通关之后的大奖先不谈，现在是奖励时间吧？现在能够领到什么奖励？

FlorenceCommander, before I answer your question, there's something I'd like to ask: why do you think I wanted to keep you here by yourself?指挥官，在回答你之前，你不觉得奇怪吗，我为什么单独留下了你。

(Florence doesn't give me a reply, merely tugs her top open and reaches into her bra, like she's looking for something.)（芙洛伦没有回答我的问题，只是拉下了衣领，将手伸进衣服内，似乎在摸索寻找着什么。）

Commander...What are you doing?……你要干什么？

(I reflexively take a step back.)（我警觉地后退了一步。）

FlorenceYou know what "reward" means better than I do, no, Commander?“奖励”的含义，指挥官应该比我更清楚吧？

(Florence spreads her arms and takes another step toward me.)（芙洛伦对我张开双臂，又向我靠近了一步。）

CommanderHang on! Answer the question!等等，你先回答我的问题！

FlorenceYou want to know what I'm doing, Commander? I'm just giving you a special reward~我要做的事情？哎呀，是给指挥官准备的特殊奖励哦。

CommanderSo what the hell is this "reward", anyway?!所以奖励到底是什么？！

(Honestly, who would even feel "rewarded" in a situation like this?!)（我感到十分困惑，谁会因为现在这种状况而感觉到被奖励？）

FlorenceCome, come to me...来，靠我更近一点吧……

FlorenceI can't do anything to you when you're so far away.这么远的话，可什么都没办法做哦。

(Florence's words are syrupy-sweet, but she can't hide the undertones of danger in them.)（芙洛伦的语调和尾音，让她的话语显得尤为甜蜜，但却始终带有着藏不住的危险。）

(In fact, I take another step back upon hearing them.)（听到她的这句话，我反而下意识又后撤了一步。）

Costumed ClownPlease collect your reward.请尽快领取奖励。

(I hear a weird voice from behind me, and my hand immediately goes to my gun.)（身后传来的怪异声音，更是让我立刻将手指放在了扳机上。）

CommanderWait, they can talk?这东西会说话？

FlorenceAw, don't be so tense, Commander. This is an amusement park, after all, a place of fantasies and stories. Surely nothing that happens here should be considered strange, right?别紧张，指挥官。毕竟这里是游乐园，承载着幻想和故事的地方，发生什么事情都不奇怪吧？

CommanderDon't think you can write everything off as normal just because this place is an amusement park.不要觉得有游乐园做幌子就以为什么离谱的事情都可以顺理成章了。

Costumed ClownPlease collect your reward as soon as possible.请尽快完成奖励环节。

(The weird voice continues urging me to claim my so-called "reward".)（怪异的声音持续提醒着我，催促我完成所谓的“奖励”。）

CommanderCan't you speak plainly?! What is this "special reward", anyway?!你们就不能好好把话说清楚吗？！“特别奖励”到底是什么？

(Before I can react, Florence steps up, looking more anxious than me. She grabs my hand while placing her other hand on my cheek.)（但还没等我做出任何反应，芙洛伦却看起来比我更加着急，她上前一步挽住我的手，另一只手则是抚上了我的脸颊。）

FlorenceWhat is it, indeed... just give it a try and you'll find out~是什么呢……试试就知道啦。

(Florence's hand slowly approaches my mouth, and then she extends a finger to caress the corner of my mouth.)（芙洛伦的手逐渐移动到我的嘴边，她伸出一根手指，细细地摩挲着我的唇角。）

FlorenceCome now, open up—来，张开嘴巴——

FlorenceYou don't need to do anything, Commander, just let me service you.指挥官什么都不需要做，只要让我来服务你就好。

(Florence's finger probes deeper, penetrating my lips.)（芙洛伦试探着继续深入，将手指探进了我的口中。）

(And then—she pops a capsule into my mouth.)（随后——一颗胶囊被塞进了我的嘴里。）

CommanderAck!咳！

CommanderWhat did you feed me?!你给我吃了什么？！

FlorenceI told you, it's a special reward. Don't spit it out, okay? Swallow it down... There's a good Commander.都说了是特别奖励了，不要吐出来哦，指挥官，咽下去。

(Florence reaches out to cover my mouth and forces it shut.)（芙洛伦伸出手抵住了我的嘴巴，强迫我保持双唇紧闭的状态。）

(Meanwhile, the two clowns urging me on slowly leave, as though satisfied by what has happened.)（而两侧时刻在催促的扮装小丑，在这一刻也像是放心了一样，缓缓离场。）

FlorenceHow's that, Commander? Are you happy with your reward?怎么样，指挥官，还满意吗？

(Florence smirks like a cat who got the cream.)（芙洛伦露出了一个得逞的笑容。）

CommanderDo I LOOK happy?我看起来像满意的样子吗？

FlorenceStill, you'll need to keep clearing stages to get more rewards.可是，如果指挥官还想要更多奖励的话，还要继续通关才行哦。

CommanderAnd if I refuse to keep playing?如果我拒绝继续游玩呢？

FlorenceYou've already seen what happens if you do that.刚才指挥官已经看到了。

(The scene of Mia being dragged off by the clowns flickers through my mind.)（米娅被扮装小丑带走的样子，再一次出现在我的脑海中。）

CommanderYou call this an amusement park, but I feel like I've been shanghaied to some sweatshop's production line.说是游乐园，我却有种被绑架到了黑工厂流水线的感觉。

FlorenceBut amusement parks like this are common in the White Zones, right? At the very least, there aren't any lines for the attractions here.这样的游乐园在白区城市很常见吧？而且，至少这里游玩项目不需要排队。

(She has a point.)（这倒是。）

FlorenceSo, now that you're all rested up, let's move on to the next ride! I can't wait!所以，休息好了的话，我们就快点去往下一个游乐设施吧！我已经等不及了！

(Florence grabs my hand again and skips off to our next destination, pulling me along behind her.)（芙洛伦再次牵住了我的手，蹦蹦跳跳地拉着我前往下一个地点。）

(—)（——）

Commander...……

FlorenceWhat's wrong, Commander?指挥官，怎么了？

CommanderThis is...这是……

CommanderWhat's this?什么……？

FlorenceCommander? Is something wrong?指挥官，指挥官？

(Florence brings her face up to mine, expression filled with concern.)（芙洛伦的脸贴上来，表情中写满了关心。）

FlorenceOh my, have the meds kicked in? Judging by your face, are you seeing something?哎呀，难道是药物终于发挥作用了？看你的表情，是不是看到了什么？

CommanderWhat... What did you feed me?你……到底给我吃了什么？

(Florence's voice is muffled even though she's right by my ear. Despite her proximity, it sounds like it's coming from far away.)（芙洛伦的声音模糊地出现在我的耳边，即便她近在身边，却又仿佛遥远的幻觉一样。）

FlorenceIt's something that'll make you veeeery happy, but be careful, Commander, don't let yourself get lost in the illusion...是会让人变得快乐的东西哦，但指挥官还是要小心，不要沉迷于幻觉……

Sweet Startling Night 甜蜜惊魂夜

CommanderYou remember her name, you say?你想起了她的名字？

EsmeAh, yes. I accepted my reward... And then I remembered.啊，嗯，是的，我们接受了奖励……然后，我想起来了。

(Is the reward linked to recovering memories? In that case, Mia and that other woman should have gotten at least one reward. Clearly, this wasn't their first time playing this game.)（奖励和记忆的恢复有关？这么想的话，米娅和另一名女性，应该至少得到过一次奖励了。她们果然不是第一次进行游玩。）

(Not long ago, I saw something bizarre after receiving Florence's "reward". In that case, could that have been one of my memories?)（不久之前，在获得了芙洛伦的“奖励”后，我的眼前也出现了奇妙的画面。这么说来，那可能也是我的记忆？）

EsmeI think I knew that woman who was arguing with Mireille. Her name was Pauline. Although, I don't know what kind of relationship we had.刚才和米雷耶争吵的女性，我似乎认识她，她叫珀琳。不过，我们具体是什么样的关系，我还是不太记得。

(Perhaps it's because she knows more now, but Esme's perpetually frightened face has a little smile on it at last.)（似乎是因为得到了更多的情报而安心，埃斯梅那张看上去总是在害怕的脸上，终于出现了一丝笑容。）

(Five minutes ago, I met Esme under the building for the second attraction, and she started a conversation with me. There were several guests around us, including Mireille and Pauline who had just had their argument, though they seemed to have calmed down now.)（五分钟前，和我一同在第二场游玩设施下相遇的埃斯梅，主动向我搭了话。四周并不乏游客，刚才发生过争吵的米雷耶与珀琳也在不远处，她们似乎已经冷静下来。）

CommanderAren't you going to talk to them now that you remember the past?既然想起来了，不去和她们聊聊吗？

EsmeN-no, from what I remember... They seem trustworthy.不，不用啦，从我找回的记忆来看……我觉得她们是值得信任的。

CommanderTrustworthy?值得信任？

EsmeAh... I know it sounds a little paranoid, but don't you think it's likely that the person who built this park might be hiding among us, taking part in the games, watching us run around for the grand prize like clowns?那个……虽然听起来有些被害妄想，但你不觉得吗，制造这座乐园的人，很可能就藏在我们之间，若无其事地参与进游玩中，就这样看着我们像个小丑一样，为了大奖被耍得团团转。

CommanderWhy do you think that?为什么会这样认为？

EsmeWhy... Um, I don't really have a reason for that, it's just a gut feeling... I'm sorry, maybe I'm being oversensitive or something.为什么……唔，其实没什么理由，就是感觉而已……对不起，可能是我太敏感了吧……

EsmeWhen I just got here, I didn't remember anything.刚到这里时，我几乎什么都不太记得了。

(Just like me.)（和我状况相同。）

EsmeBut when I saw Mia... No, it wasn't just Mia or Mireille or Pauline... Truth be told, all the other guests felt familiar, apart from you.但是我却对米娅她们……不，不止是米娅，甚至不止是米雷耶和珀琳，实不相瞒，除了你之外的所有游客，我都有种熟悉感。

CommanderFelt familiar...熟悉感……

(I find myself glancing at Florence. She's the only one here who definitely feels familiar to me, and she's eagerly setting up the next event. When Esme speaks again, I quickly turn my gaze back to her.)（我下意识地看了一眼芙洛伦，这个唯一我能确认与我熟悉的人，现在正在热情地准备着下一次游玩，随着埃斯梅再次开口，我快速收回了视线。）

EsmeGetting that "reward" just now only made me more certain of that. Not only did I remember their names, I even began to recall snippets of memories from when we spent time together...而刚刚，接受了“奖励”之后，我更加确信了这一点，我不仅想起来了她们的名字，甚至，脑海中还闪过了和她们一起的回忆片段……

EsmeAnd judging by their reaction, I think... I think they've recalled a lot, just like me.从她们的反应来看，我想……她们也和我一样，想起了不少东西。

(I suddenly realize why she chose to talk to me instead of the other two.)（我突然意识到她为什么没有选择另外两个人，而是与我闲聊了。）

CommanderSo your memories include everyone but not me, is that it?你获得的记忆中，包含其他所有人，但却唯独不包括我，对吧？

CommanderLet me think. What you're saying is that it isn't just you, but also Pauline and Mireille who don't remember me.让我想想，很可能不仅是你，连珀琳和米雷耶的记忆中，也没有我。

CommanderIn other words, that makes me the most suspicious person here.所以，我就成了最可疑的那个。

(It's a perfectly reasonable deduction. It makes so much sense that even I'm beginning to doubt myself.)（这是很合理的推测，合理到甚至我都有些怀疑自己了。）

(After all, the only person who feels familiar to me here is Florence—the park manager.)（因为，我唯一能够确认熟悉的，只有芙洛伦——她是游乐园的管理员。）

EsmeS-so, uh, did you remember anything after receiving your "reward"?那，那个，你在接受“奖励”后，有想起什么吗？

(In fact, even after getting my "reward", all I saw was... it was also related to the park.)（甚至连我接受“奖励”后，想起的事情……也是关于游乐园的。）

CommanderI remembered some things too, but you weren't in my memories.我也回忆起一些事情，不过，我的记忆里也不存在你们。

EsmeI see...果然是这样吗……

EsmeI-in that case, what did you remember?那，你的记忆里是什么内容呢？

(Esme gulps nervously and carefully watches me, as though she's waiting for an answer she's been expecting for a long time.)（埃斯梅紧张地咽了口唾液，小心地看着我，似乎在等待着一个期待已久的答案。）

EsmeYou... You're not the architect of this place, are you?你……应该不是制造这座乐园的人……吧？

(I see—)（原来如此——）

(I thought Esme came to find me just to pry information from me based on what she knew.)（我本以为埃斯梅主动找到我，只是想用自己的情报撬开我的情报。）

(But now, it seems she's begun suspecting me based on what I just said.)（不过，现在看来，她似乎已经从刚才我说出的话中，开始怀疑我了。）

CommanderAll I can remember is this park, and that girl who's acting as the manager...我能想起来的，只有游乐园，还有那个在这里当上管理员的那家伙……

(I turn to look at Florence again.)（我再次将目光送往芙洛伦的方向。）

EsmeI-Is there anything else?还，还有其他的吗？

CommanderAlso, I saw this amusement park, but it was run-down and looked completely different from how it does now.还有，我所看到的游乐园，十分破败，和现在的样子完全不同。

CommanderIs that what you wanted to learn?你想确认的只有这些？

(Perhaps it was the defensiveness in my eyes, but Esme seems to have realized that she was making her intentions too obvious.)（或许是我的眼神展现出了防御性，埃斯梅意识到了自己话语中露骨的目的。）

EsmeAh, no... I didn't mean to suspect you, really... (Sob) I'm sorry... I'm sorry...啊，不……我没有怀疑你的意思哦，真的没有……呜……对不起……对不起……

Esme(Esme throws up her hands in panic and her face turns red, but her words have already betrayed her thoughts.)（埃斯梅慌乱地摆起了手，脸也涨得通红。但她口中的话却几乎完全出卖了她的想法。）

CommanderIt's alright, I don't mind. Truth be told, I'm starting to doubt myself too.没关系，我不介意。说实话，我都快怀疑自己了。

(I shrug with a bitter smile on my face.)（我苦笑着摆了摆手。）

CommanderStill, now that you've asked so many questions, may I ask some questions of my own?不过，问了这么多，让我也问你一些问题吧？

EsmeHuh? Ah, s-sure!诶？啊，好，好的！

CommanderWhat exactly was Mia's punishment? She doesn't seem to have shown up in this game.米娅的惩罚，究竟是什么？她似乎并没有出现在这次游玩中。

EsmeI knew it... You noticed too.果然……你也注意到了。

EsmeI saw it, I saw everything... Those monsters called "clowns" dragged her away... and she might... she might never come back.我看到了，我都看到了……那些被称作“小丑”的怪物，拖拽着将她带走了……或许她已经……永远都不会再回来了。

(—Might never come back.)（——永远不会再回来。）

(That ridiculous farce of a roller coaster was not a dream. It actually happened, and things like that will probably keep happening.)（刚才那场像荒诞闹剧一样的过山车经历，并不是梦境，而是真实地发生了，甚至接下来还会继续发生。）

CommanderSo this punishment is—所以，惩罚其实是——

("Death".)（“死亡”。）

(I don't say it, but Esme nods knowingly.)（我没有说出口，埃斯梅却心照不宣地点了点头。）

EsmePerhaps... if the number of guests goes down, we might have a hard time even if we want to work together.或许……接下来游客数量只会越来越少，即使我们想合作互助，可能也会越来越困难。

EsmeAt this rate, will anyone be able to clear the events at all?这样下去，真的有能够通关的人吗……？

(After hearing what Esme said, I immediately tally up the number of guests present. Apart from Florence and myself, there are 12 other guests here.)（听到埃斯梅这样说，我马上清点了一下现在的游客人数。除了我和芙洛伦之外，现在还剩下12名游客。）

CommanderI see. I'll keep an eye on the number of guests.我明白了，接下来我会注意这些游客的数量。

CommanderAt the very least, I'll try not to let this number go down.至少，尽量不再让这个数字减少。

EsmeThank you so much!太好了，谢谢你！

(Esme's face, which only just relaxed a little after hearing my answer, soon scrunches up again, and she grabs her head like she's in pain.)（而埃斯梅刚因为我的回应而舒展开来的脸，很快就再次皱作了一团，她有些痛苦地抱住自己的头。）

EsmeBut if we keep playing, we might end up dying in one of those dangerous rides, like Fleur... Do you really think we can keep going on like this?可是，如果继续游玩的话，说不定就会像芙勒一样，在那种危险的设施上丧命……你觉得，我们真的还要玩下去吗？

(As Esme is about to burst into tears, she completely fails to notice someone surreptitiously sneaking up behind her.)（埃斯梅哭丧着脸，全然没有注意到一个身影悄悄摸到了她的背后。）

FlorenceOh my, what's this? Do you want to back out too?哎呀，你们也要退出游玩吗？

(Florence suddenly sticks her head between me and Esme, interrupting our conversation.)（芙洛伦突然地将头探入我和埃斯梅中间，打断了我们的对话。）

EsmeEee—Aiiiiiieee!噫——噫呀啊！

(Esme shrieks in terror as she notices Florence, flailing her arms wildly as she stumbles back. Upon noticing the costumed clowns behind her, she frantically shakes her head like a pellet drum.)（看到突然出现的芙洛伦，埃斯梅发出尖叫声，她慌乱地摆着手。在看到四周那些扮装小丑后，她更是把头摇得像拨浪鼓一样。）

EsmeI-I-I d-d-definitely wasn't thinking of that no no no! Please let me continue!!!我我我我我没有这样想！请务必让我玩下去！！！

FlorenceHehe... Well, in that case, since everyone's here, let's get started then, shall we? I can't wait to begin.哼哼……这样啊，那既然人都到齐了，那我们就快点开始吧？我也有些等不及了呢。

FlorenceIsn't that right, Commander?对吧，指挥官？

(Florence laughs and inserts herself between me and Esme, then wraps herself around my arm.)（芙洛伦笑着挤进我和埃斯梅中间，挽住了我的手臂。）

FlorenceDear guests! Thank you for waiting! And now, our next attraction—"Sweet Startling Night"!!各位游客！久等了，现在在你们眼前的是——“甜蜜惊魂夜”！！

(In contrast to the festive feel of the rest of the park, a creepy building that is clearly out of place here looms before the guests.)（和游乐园欢快的气氛截然相反，一座格格不入的阴森建筑，怪异地矗立在所有游客面前。）

(The mottled, peeling exterior is covered in rusty metal ornaments, as though it's been exposed to the elements for centuries. The main door slowly opens toward us, and the pink sign above it falls as the wind blows. Inside the building is a fathomless darkness.)（斑驳剥落的外墙上装点着锈蚀的金属饰物，仿佛经历过数百年的风霜一样，大门正在缓慢地面向我们打开，上面挂着的粉红色牌子被风吹落，而建筑内部，则是一眼看不到尽头的黑暗。）

Commander...Isn't that just a haunted house?……不就是鬼屋吗？

FlorenceOh, this is no ordinary haunted house. It offers thrills beyond your limits, enough to make your adrenaline levels spike!不是普通的恐怖屋哦，是超越极限的刺激，令人肾上腺素飙升的恐怖屋！

(Florence pirouettes in place, and the "clowns" beside her obligingly scatter confetti and ribbons.)（芙洛伦转了个圈，身旁的“小丑”们十分配合地再次放出彩带和纸礼花。）

(Unfortunately, the audience seems entirely unmoved by her introduction, only staring nervously into the haunted house or hugging themselves as they stand off to the side.)（遗憾的是，游客们对她热情的介绍毫无反应，只是惴惴不安地往鬼屋内张望，或是抱着手臂冷淡地站在一旁。）

FlorenceHmm... Well, at least nobody's trying to back out this time round. Good, good.嗯……至少，这次倒是没人想退出呢，很好很好。

Pauline...……

MireilleWe saw what happened to Mia after all...毕竟发生了米娅那样的事情呢……

EsmeYeah, if we play, we might not end up like Fleur... but if we DON'T play, we'll definitely end up like Mia...是啊，游玩的话不一定会变成芙勒那样……但是不游玩的话，一定会变成米娅那样呢……

PaulineUh, I'd like to ask. Will there be any surprises halfway through, like last time?事先问一下，这次有追加惊喜吗？像上次那样。

FlorenceOf course. We've raised the stakes in all our attractions to properly welcome the guests to our park.当然了，为了迎接游乐园的“贵宾”，这些游乐设施都得到了加码哦。

FlorenceIn addition to the usual scares in the haunted house, there will be "ghosts" present, who will take the forms of people you know and talk to you.恐怖屋中，除了普通的吓人手段之外，会有“幽灵”，扮装成你们所熟悉的样子，来和你们进行交谈。

FlorenceStill, you don't have to be too worried about them. Just don't let the "ghosts" lead you astray.不过，不用太担心，只要小心别被“幽灵”带走就好咯。

MireilleWhat happens if the ghosts take us away?被幽灵带走会怎么样？

FlorenceWho knows? I guess they'll have a good meal?谁知道呢，大概会变成“幽灵”的食物吧？

(A look of disgust crosses Mireille's face as she realizes what Florence means.)（米雷耶听懂了芙洛伦的意思，露出了一副厌恶的表情。）

MireilleQuit looking down on me, I won't die here.少看不起人了，我不会死在这里的。

(Saying so, Mireille enters the building. She is soon followed by the others.)（说完，米雷耶率先进入了这个建筑，紧接着，其他几个人也全部走了进去。）

FlorenceLooks like we're the last ones, Commander.那么，最后就是我们了，指挥官。

(I hear screams from the guests up ahead. What have they encountered?)（我隐约听到了前面的游客中传来了断断续续的尖叫声。他们遭遇了什么？）

FlorenceAre you bothered by what's happening inside, Commander? Hehe... In that case, I'll make an exception and spoil things for you.很在意里面的情况吗，指挥官？哼哼……那么，我就特别为你透露一下吧。

FlorenceYou must be wary of illusions in there, Commander.在里面，一定要小心幻觉，指挥官。

Mireille?That's strange, why are we here...奇怪，怎么到这里来了……

(It's Mireille's voice, but her tone is entirely different from before.)（是米雷耶的声音，但她的语气却和此前完全不同。）

Pauline?You idiot, where did you get your license? At this rate, we won't reach LVI-14 even if we drive through the night!蠢货，你怎么开的车啊？照这样下去，再开三天三夜我们都到不了LVI-14！

(It's Pauline's voice, similarly abnormal.)（是珀琳的声音，同样的反常。）

Pauline?How could you even handle all those transport runs with such crappy skills? If you tried that shit in the contamination zone, they'd sue your pants off.你这种水平也能执行几百次运输任务吗？你这种在污染区送快递都会被投诉到失业。

Mireille?Ahhh, shut the hell up, I'm checking the route now.啊啊，烦死了，你先给我闭嘴，我在检查运输路线。

Mireille?Dammit, what's going on... Who changed the route, and when?可恶，怎么回事……运输路线什么时候被篡改了。

Pauline?Do you know how many shipments we've lost already? If we fuck this run up, we're all going down together!你知不知道咱们这都丢了多少货了，这次再搞不好，咱们大家都得一起完蛋！

Mireille?God dammit, who messed with the vehicle auto navigator?! The route's been messed up ever since we left the warehouse.该死，谁动了车上的自动导航了！！从上一个仓库出来，运输路线就是错的。

Pauline?Bloody hell! Who else would touch it besides you?!见鬼了，除了你还有谁会去动这东西啊！

Esme?It... it's my fault... I'm sorry... I messed up, I messed everything up...是……是我的错……对不起……是我不好，我把什么都搞砸了……

Pauline?Esme? Why is it you? What are you doing here?!埃斯梅？怎么是你？你怎么在这？！

Mireille?You useless bitch! Stop causing trouble here already! Get the hell away from this shipment!没用的东西就别在这里添乱！离这批货远一点！！

Esme?It's my fault... I'm sorry... Please don't chase me away or kill me... Noooooo!!!是我不好……对不起……请不要赶我走，也不要杀我……不要！！！

(The mix of voices gradually fades away, and as the shrieking of brakes fills the air, I finally see what is before me.)（混乱的声音逐渐减弱，伴随着急刹车的声音，我终于看清了眼前的事物。）

(The interior of the haunted house is as expansive and as barren as the wastelands. There is a heavily battered transport truck stopped here.)（恐怖屋内，仿佛荒野一样的宽敞与荒凉。而一辆伤痕累累的运输车，就停在这里。）

CommanderSo they were all onboard?她们都在车上？

(I slowly approach the truck, but a pair of hands grabs my arm.)（我缓缓地靠近运输车，一双手却拉住了我的手腕。）

FlorenceDon't go over there, Commander.指挥官，不要过去。

(The very next moment, a familiar form smashes through the windshield and hits the ground hard, rolling to a stop at my feet.)（下一刻，一个熟悉的身影，撞破了运输车的玻璃，重重地跌落到了地上，滚到了我的面前。）

EsmeI'm sorry... Don't kill me... Noooooooo!!!对不起……请不要杀我……不要！！！

EsmeAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH—!啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊——！

(Esme screams. Blood covers her face, preventing me from seeing her features clearly. It instantly snaps me back from my entrancement by those seemingly real voices. Right after that, several armed men jump down from the truck before us. They aren't Pauline or Mireille, but look more like Mangi Security troopers.)（埃斯梅尖叫着，脸上的血迹让我看不清楚她的表情。一瞬间，她把我从刚才那些似真似幻的纷杂声音中拉了回来。而下一刻，眼前的运输车中便跳下了几个手持武器的人，那并不是珀琳和米雷耶，看上去更像是曼尼安保的人。）

CommanderIs this what you meant by "costumed ghosts"?!这就是你刚才说的“扮装幽灵”？！

FlorenceHehe... Nope. Not even I can help you cheat in this event, Commander.哼哼……是不是呢，就算是我，也不能在这个环节帮助你作弊哦，指挥官。

Mireille?It's her... That's her! She's the fake, kill her!那家伙……就是那家伙！她是假的，快杀了她！

(The Mangi troopers speak in Mireille's voice. They point to Esme, who's lying on the ground, and raise their guns.)（曼尼安保的人发出了米雷耶的声音，指着地上的埃斯梅，举起了枪。）

FlorenceNow then, Commander, how can you tell which of them is a "ghost" from the haunted house?那么，指挥官，到底她们谁才是恐怖屋的“幽灵”呢？

(Just as Florence finishes, a hail of gunfire blazes at us.)（芙洛伦的话音刚落，一阵枪林弹雨便扫了过来。）

CommanderFlorence, get ready for battle!芙洛伦，准备作战！

FlorenceI've been waiting for this.早就等不及啦。

Sweet Startling Night 甜蜜惊魂夜

(After fighting off the "ghosts", I look around, but I don't see Esme anywhere.)（击退了那些“幽灵”，我环顾四周，却并未发现埃斯梅。）

CommanderEsme?埃斯梅？

(I ask my question in the direction where the voices came from earlier, but there is no reply.)（我向着刚才发出声音的地方询问着，回应我的却是无声的沉默。）

(Those people... were they all just illusions?)（难道刚才那些人……全部都是幻觉吗？）

(As I ponder the question, I hear Esme's scream from a nearby room, which confirms my supposition.)（正思考着，不远的房间内，埃斯梅的惨叫再度传来，佐证了我的想法。）

Commander...Stay close, Florence.……芙洛伦，跟紧我。

FlorenceAre you worried I'll get lost too, Commander?指挥官是在担心我也走丢吗？

(Right after that, I hear Mireille's scream from another room. More and more strange noises start coming from the nearby rooms, which is actually strangely reassuring. Looks like those people from just now really were just illusions. But then why would I be seeing things regarding those people?)（紧接着，另一个房间内，我听到了米雷耶的尖叫声。身边这样怪异的声音便持续不断地出现在附近的房间里，反而令我感觉安心了不少，看样子，刚才那些人，真的只是幻觉。可是，我为什么会产生与那几人相关的幻觉？）

FlorenceCommander? Earth to Commander, come in, Commander~指挥官？指挥官~你在听吗？

Commander...Ah. Right, I'm here. Still, as the park manager, you should know this place very well, right?……啊，嗯，算是吧，不过，既然你是管理员，你应该很熟悉这里的路吧？

FlorenceOf course. I'll make sure I bring you safely out of here.当然了，我会保证指挥官顺利离开这里的。

(Florence suddenly grabs my hand.)（芙洛伦突然牵住了我的手。）

FlorenceWhat happened just now was too dangerous. Stay with me from now on, alright, Commander?刚才的事情太危险了，接下来，指挥官还是跟着我走吧？

(I follow Florence forward. Our path this time is clearly different, with hardly any obstacles. We turn several corners before finally arriving in a large, spacious chamber.)（我跟着芙洛伦继续向前，果然和刚才不同，一路上畅通无阻。我们七拐八拐，很快就来到了一个空旷的房间内。）

FlorenceBe careful of illusions, Commander.要小心幻觉哦。指挥官。

(There is a truck in the middle of this room as well.)（而这个房间内，同样停靠着一辆运输车。）

CommanderFlorence, what is the meaning of this?芙洛伦，这是什么意思？

(I point to the Mangi uniform beside the truck.)（我指了指运输车旁边的曼尼安保制服。）

FlorenceIt's for you. Your clothes got torn during the previous battle, so I got a new set ready for you. However, I didn't have any spares, so I had to use some of the costumes from the "costumed ghosts". It's clean, though!指挥官的衣服，在刚才作战的时候不是撕破了嘛，所以我准备了新的，不过没有多余的了，只有“扮装幽灵”们的衣服了，不过，也很干净整洁的！

(Florence smiles and hands me the bundle of clothes.)（芙洛伦笑着拿起衣服，递给我。）

(My clothes... when did they get damaged?)（我的衣服……什么时候撕破了吗？）

(I look down and sure enough, there's a huge hole there, at my waist, although I don't remember when it happened.)（尽管没有这个印象，我还是低下头看了一眼，腰部不知何时，撕破了一个非常大的口子。）

FlorenceHonestly, are you waiting for me to dress you, Commander?真是的，该不会要我帮你穿吧，指挥官？

(Florence immediately steps forward and reaches out to me.)（芙洛伦扑上来，伸手就要脱掉我的衣服。）

CommanderNo thanks, I can do it myself.不用了，我自己能穿。

(I deflect Florence's hand but take the clothes from her. A voice which sounds just like the one from before rings out from the truck behind me.)（我伸手推开芙洛伦，接过她递给我的衣服。身后的运输车中传来了和刚才如出一辙的声响。）

Mireille?Esme?! What are you doing here?!埃斯梅！！你怎么会在这？！

Mireille?Wait a minute, it's not just Esme, even all the people who went missing on the previous mission are here too! What's going on?!等等，不止埃斯梅，还有之前执行任务失踪的人，也在这里，怎么回事？！

(As the noise grows, the sound of the truck's engine gradually fades.)（在争吵声中，运输车的发动机逐渐放缓。）

FlorenceCommander, are you listening to the argument from inside? I already told you to be careful of illusions. Just ignore them and put the clothes on. We need to keep moving forward.指挥官，你在听车里的争吵声吗？我说过要小心幻觉的对吧，不要听啦，快点换上衣服，我们继续向前走了。

(As Florence keeps urging me, the sense of wrongness from before keeps growing.)（芙洛伦催促着我，让我从刚才开始的那份异样感持续加深着。）

CommanderRight, got it.嗯，好，我知道了。

(I nod, reach toward my waist, and then—)（我点点头，将手摸进腰间，然后——）

(I draw my handgun and put a bullet between Florence's eyes.)（迅速拿起我的配枪，对着芙洛伦的眉心扣动扳机。）

FlorenceAiiieeeee—!呀啊——！

FlorenceC-Commander...?指……指挥官……？

(As her voice trembles, she stumbles backward and disappears, like one of the "costumed ghosts" that I fought off earlier.)（她颤动着说了两句，随后便像刚才被击退的“扮装幽灵”一样，缓缓地消失在了我的眼前。）

CommanderI knew it... So even this Florence was an illusion too.果然……连这个芙洛伦，也是幻觉。

FlorenceIn addition to the usual scares in the haunted house, there will be "ghosts" present, who will take the forms of people you know and talk to you.恐怖屋中，除了普通的吓人手段之外，会有“幽灵”，扮装成你们所熟悉的样子，来和你们进行交谈。

FlorenceStill, you don't have to be too worried about them. Just don't let the "ghosts" lead you astray.不过，不用太担心，只要小心别被“幽灵”带走就好咯。

(The very next moment—just like last time—a familiar form smashes through the windshield and hits the ground hard, rolling to a stop at my feet.)（下一刻，一个熟悉的身影，和不久之前发生的完全一样，她撞破了运输车的玻璃，重重地跌落到了地上，滚到了我的面前。）

EsmeI'm sorry... Don't kill me... Noooooooo!!!是我不好……对不起……请不要赶我走，也不要杀我……不要！！！

EsmeAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH—!啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊——！

(I ignore this ridiculous display from before and turn away. Then I head out of the room, until I find a door shining with light—)（我无视了这和刚才如出一辙的闹剧，任凭身后的扮装幽灵们混战。然后转身缓缓走出了房间，直到我找到了一扇光亮的门——）

FlorenceNow then! Congratulations on successfully completing "Sweet Startling Night", dear players!那么现在，恭喜各位玩家！顺利完成了“甜蜜惊魂夜”的游玩！

(Florence skips over to me, her chest bound up with ribbons into a big bowknot.)（芙洛伦蹦蹦跳跳地来到我的面前，她的胸前用长丝带打成了一个巨大的蝴蝶结。）

(When I see Florence like this and remember what happened inside the haunted house, I feel a sense of relief spread through me.)（看到这个样子的芙洛伦，想到刚才在恐怖屋里的事情，一种安心感油然而生。）

CommanderWhat... What are you up to now?你……又要干什么？

FlorenceWhat I'm up to... It's reward time now, isn't it? The event's over, so it's time to claim your reward, no?干什么……当然是奖励时间啊？没理由结束了游玩却不领取奖励吧？

CommanderIt's over? So everyone's made it out of the haunted house?结束了？所有人都成功从恐怖屋离开了吗？

FlorenceYup, it's over. And everyone who hasn't made it out has probably been caught by the ghosts.已经结束啦，还没离开的，恐怕已经被幽灵抓走了呢。

(I look around at the other guests and tally them up.)（我环顾四周，看向其他的游客们，清点着游客的数量。）

CommanderStrange... Why are there only 11 people here?奇怪……只有11个人？

(The missing person is Esme. And while all the guests look shaken, one in particular stands out—)（但在场的游客里，却唯独少了埃斯梅。而在这群惊魂未定的游客中，还有一个人尤其显眼——）

MireilleEsme... I'm sorry... Esme...埃斯梅……对不起……埃斯梅……

MireilleI... I really didn't know it was you, I thought it was a ghost...我……我真的……不知道那是你，我以为，我以为那是幽灵所扮演的……

(What?!)（什么？！）

CommanderFlorence, did someone die in that haunted house?芙洛伦，刚才恐怖屋里，有人被杀死了吗？

FlorenceAh, didn't you know, Commander? After all, you were there too. It seems Mireille saw too many illusions and ended up killing the real Esme by accident.啊，指挥官你不知道啊，当时你也在场哦。米雷耶好像看到了太多幻觉了，最后失手杀了真正的埃斯梅。

(Which means—)（所以——）

(Esme's final scream echoes in my mind, which goes blank.)（我的脑海中回荡着埃斯梅的惨叫声，只觉得一片空白。）

FlorenceCommander, you're not feeling nervous, are you?指挥官，该不会是在紧张吧？

(After seeing I've been quiet for a while, Florence pushes her face in front of mine.)（看到我久久没有说话，芙洛伦的脸凑到了我的面前。）

Commander...I'm not in the mood to talk about rewards or anything at the moment.……我，暂时没心情和你聊什么奖励。

(Florence wiggles her body and the big bowknot on her chest with it. It looks like the wind might blow it loose at any moment.)（芙洛伦晃了晃身子，胸前的蝴蝶结也随风飘动着，几乎快要被风吹散开来。）

FlorenceBut that won't do, Commander. If you refuse your reward, you'll have to accept a punishment.那可不行哦，指挥官，拒绝奖励的话，就要接受惩罚了。

(She's right. Mireille, who was still in view just now, has already left with the rest of the guests before I could even speak to her. "Reward Time" is here and everyone must claim their reward.)（她说的没错，刚才还在我视线范围内的米雷耶，还没等我上前搭话，很快便跟随着其他游客一同离开了。“奖励时间”开始了，所有人都必须领取奖励。）

FlorenceLook, Commander, I've been tied up by this ribbon, and if you don't undo it, I won't be able to do anything. Is your heart really not stirred by the plight of poor ol' defenseless little me?指挥官，快看，我被这个丝带束缚起来了呢，如果指挥官不拆开的话，我可是什么都干不了的。看到我这么无助的样子，指挥官，真的不会心动吗？

(After thinking back on what happened just now, I am in no mood to indulge her.)（想着刚才的事情，我现在完全没有和她打闹的心情。）

FlorenceIn other words, you can do aaaaaaanything you want to me—也就是说，接下来，指挥官要做什么都可以哦——

(Florence bends down and lays the loose end of the ribbon in my hand. While the ball seems to be in my court now, the squad of costumed clowns behind are a silent reminder that I have no choice at all.)（芙洛伦俯下身子，将丝带送到我的手上。主动权看起来似乎在我手上，但她身后的扮装小丑却提醒着我，现在我没有其他选择。）

(With barely any strength needed, with just the tug of my fingertips, the ribbon slips free easily.)（几乎不需要任何力道，只是指尖划过，丝带便轻而易举地舒展开了。）

(Florence sticks her tongue out smugly. On the tip of her tongue, I see a blue and red pill.)（芙洛伦得意地吐了吐舌头，我看到，她的舌尖上，放着一颗红蓝相间的药丸。）

Whirling Mid-Air Maze 旋转空中迷宫

MireilleNo... it wasn't me, I didn't do it...不……不是我，不是我干的……

(The sound of a metallic crash and the roar of an engine wash through the air overhead.)（金属撞击声和发动机的轰隆声从我和米雷耶的头顶上空划过。）

(Unlike how proudly she carried herself earlier, the current Mireille seems a little panicked.)（和之前那副理直气壮的样子不同，现在的米雷耶，看上去似乎有些慌张。）

MireilleIt was you! You did it!是你！是你干的！

(Mireille points at me.)（米雷耶指着我。）

MireilleI, Pauline and I began suspecting you from the moment we got our reward. But Esme, that idiot, she still went to speak to you even though she knew there was something wrong with you...原本，原本接受了奖励的我和珀琳，就怀疑你。埃斯梅那个蠢货，明知道你不对劲，还跑去和你交换情报……

MireilleAnd after she spoke to you, she died in the haunted house. It must have been you, you killed Esme.而她在和你交谈后，竟然在恐怖屋中死掉了，一定是你干的，是你害了埃斯梅。

Commander...You're one to talk, considering you're the one who did it.……自己动的手，还真敢说啊。

PaulineIf I'm not wrong, Esme's the second person you've killed so far, isn't she?如果我没记错的话，米雷耶，这是你杀的第二个人吧？

MireilleShut up! It's your fault, you bitch, you pushed me to it!你闭嘴！还不是因为你这个混蛋，一直在催我一直在催我！！

MireilleGoing on these runs is a pain, and I've been wanting to quit the job for a while!! But you and Fleur, the two of you kept pushing and pushing and pushing! That's why I was so tense when Esme showed up! That's why...本来出任务就烦，我早就不想干这份工作了！！是你，还有芙勒，一直催催催催，所以我才会对埃斯梅的出现那么紧张！所以才……

(Runs? Job?)（任务？工作？）

(I recall the illusion from the haunted house. Is she still lost in that illusion?)（我想起了刚才在恐怖屋中所看到的幻觉。难道她们还沉浸在那份幻觉中？）

PaulineShut up, you idiot. You've said too much.闭嘴蠢货，你说太多了。

(However, Pauline's reaction doesn't seem like she's talking about the illusion. Also, she doesn't seem as calm as before.)（但珀琳的反应，却不像是在说幻觉的事。而且，她似乎也不像之前那样冷静了。）

MireilleYou're still lecturing me! Even when we were in Mangi, you were lecturing me! All I did was drive the fucking truck! I didn't even touch the cargo! Is it my fault that it got lost?!你还在骂我！！之前在曼尼安保的时候你就一直在骂我！！他妈的我就是一个开车的！我连货都没摸到过！！丢了货也要怪我吗！！

MireilleThat's why I quit Mangi! But I got stuck with this shitty assignment on my last day, and now I'm in a place like this, doing this shit over and over again... Dammit, Fleur was right, I can't believe I've done this so many times already.就是因为这个我才从曼尼安保辞职的！结果最后一天上班还接了这种烂任务，现在又到了这种地方来，一次又一次地玩这些东西……妈的，芙勒说的都是真的，这破烂我居然玩了这么多遍了。

PaulineI told you to shut up, right? And don't forget, YOU killed Fleur!我说过让你闭嘴了吧！！而且芙勒已经被你杀了！

(After seeing Mireille grow more and more hysterical, Pauline drops her with a single punch. After that, Pauline eyes me warily.)（看着米雷耶的情绪越来越失控，珀琳直接一拳将她打倒在地，随后，珀琳警惕地看着我。）

CommanderOh, don't mind me. Carry on.不用在意我，你们可以继续。

PaulineDid you remember anything after getting your reward?你刚刚接受奖励后，想起了什么？

CommanderShouldn't you put something on the table before trying to pump me for information?打探情报之前，是不是应该先亮出一点诚意？

PaulineYou heard it all just now, didn't you? That was our information.你刚才不是都听到了吗？我们的情报。

(Looks like Pauline was trying to stop Mireille from talking about what they remembered after claiming the second prize.)（看来，刚才珀琳一直阻止米雷耶说出口的话，很可能就是她们再一次领取奖励后，所想起来的事情。）

(However, why is it that what they recalled resembles what happened in the haunted house so closely?)（只不过，为什么他们所想起来的事情，和恐怖屋的幻觉那么相似？）

(Once again, I look at the nearby building. Perhaps it was custom-built for these guests who once worked for Mangi security. Considering that, the events within would line up.)（我再次看向不远处的建筑，这座恐怖屋，或许是为这些曾经效力于曼尼安保的游客量身定做的。这么看来，里面的事件，恐怕都有迹可循。）

CommanderRight, I have no intention of hiding it... But unfortunately, what I remember is still related to this park.好吧，我没打算藏着掖着……不过很遗憾，我想起来的事情，依旧是关于这座游乐园的。

MireilleRelated to this park?关于这座游乐园？

CommanderYes. I saw this park transform into a ruined, abandoned place, like all this was just some dream taking place on a pile of rubble.是的，我亲眼看到了，这座游乐园，变成了一座，残破不堪的游乐园，简直就像是废墟上的玩笑一样。

Pauline...But what does that mean?……这，是什么意思？

MireilleI know! He's the REAL killer! He doesn't have memories that line up with ours! There's no way that he's a friend! Esme also said everything he remembered was related to the park!我知道了！这家伙，果然这家伙才是真正的凶手！！没有任何和我们重合的回忆，绝对不可能是我们的同伴！！而且埃斯梅也说过，这家伙想起来的所有事情，全部都是关于游乐园的。

(Upon hearing this, Pauline eyes me warily.)（珀琳听到后，也警惕地看向我。）

CommanderDon't get me wrong, it wasn't all about the amusement park. I remembered an email too.别误会，也并不全是游乐园，我还想起了一封邮件。

CommanderHowever, it looked like junk mail and the contents were vague, so I didn't pay it much attention.不过那太像是一封垃圾邮件了，而且很模糊，内容也记不清了，所以我根本没放在心上。

PaulineThat's way too vague. Weren't there any details you remembered? Like say... who wrote it to you?这也太含糊了，没有任何细节内容吗？比如……是谁写给你的？

CommanderUm... If I'm not wrong, it was...嗯……我记得好像是……

(—It was a very familiar person, with a showy personality who always liked saying weird things. However, I didn't hate them.)（——是一个很熟悉的、性格张扬的人，尽管总是说奇怪的话，不过，倒是算不上讨厌。）

FlorenceHeeeeyyy—!嘿——！

(Florence suddenly appears before me.)（芙洛伦突然出现在了我的眼前。）

(As balloons and ribbons flutter down through the air around her, she smiles as brightly as the sun, instantly sweeping away the melancholia in the air.)（伴随着气球和彩带，她的笑容就像阳光一样明媚，瞬间将游乐园有些沉郁的气氛一扫而空。）

FlorenceThinking of me, Commander?在想我的事情吗？指挥官。

(Seeing how naturally Florence inserted herself into our conversation, she must have the third event set up and ready to go.)（芙洛伦就这样自然而然地加入了我们的对话中，看样子，她已经准备好第三场游玩了。）

(For all I know, she might have been the author of that junk mail.)（搞不好写垃圾邮件的那家伙真的是她。）

FlorenceDid you finally remember that little love letter of mine that I wrote to you?你终于想起来了？我给你写的情书。

(Florence looks excitedly at me.)（芙洛伦兴奋地看着我。）

CommanderEr... was it a love letter?呃，是……情书吗？

(...Sorry I called it junk mail earlier.)（……刚刚还说它是垃圾邮件，真是抱歉。）

MireilleSee?! He's in league with the manager! For all we know, he's the one who wants to see us all dying off one by one!你看！！这家伙还和管理员关系匪浅！！恐怕，真正想看到我们一个一个死掉的人，就是这家伙吧！！

FlorenceOh please, we aren't just "in league", my body already belongs to the Commander, you know?岂止是匪浅，我早就已经是指挥官的人了哦？

(Wait, why don't I know this?)（我怎么不知道还有这事？）

MireilleAHHHH! See, Pauline?! SEE?!啊啊啊！！珀琳，你、你看！！

(Florence grabs my arm, which only makes Mireille spiral harder, pointing at us while yelling for Pauline to look. However, Pauline merely looks down and waxes thoughtful.)（芙洛伦抱紧了我的手臂，引得米雷耶一阵慌乱，她指着我们想要喊珀琳看，而珀琳却摸着下巴沉思着，重新回到了冷静的状态。）

MireilleHey, Pauline, what are you navel-gazing about? The mastermind is right here! Just these two kills and we might be able to get out! I... I just can't keep doing this!喂，珀琳，你在想什么啊？！幕后黑手就在眼前，干掉这两个家伙，说不定我们就可以离开了啊！！我不想……我不想再杀人了！

(It seems Mireille has fully accepted the fact that she has killed two people.)（看来米雷耶已经完全接受了自己杀了两个人的事实了。）

PaulineMireille, have you considered that if Esme died because she found out what's going on behind the scenes...米雷耶，你有没有想过，如果埃斯梅是因为察觉到了幕后黑手的真相而死的。

PaulineThen the fact that you're pointing and screaming like this means the next one is going to be—那你现在这样指认这家伙，下一个岂不就是——

MireilleHuh?啊？

(Mireille freezes up.)（米雷耶愣住了。）

Mireille...Wait, wait a minute. This isn't right.……等，等等，这，这不对劲吧。

(Mireille looks at me fearfully, then begins backing up.)（米雷耶有些恐慌地看着我，后退了两步。）

CommanderI told you, I'm not the mastermind.都说了，我不是幕后黑手。

(However, Mireille isn't hearing me anymore.)（但现在的米雷耶完全听不进去我的话。）

FlorenceOh yes. And besides, even if I'm the manager, I have the right to flirt with interesting people, no?是啊，而且，就算是管理员，也有和有趣的家伙一起游玩的权利吧？

(Way to undermine my rebuttal, Florence...)（芙洛伦一说话只会显得我刚才的辩驳更加无力……）

MireilleThen, then what should we do, Pauline? I told you, we should have killed him together... This is bad...那，那怎么办，珀琳，我就说让你和我一起干掉这家伙吧……这下惨了……

(Mireille starts hyperventilating. It looks like she's been wound up tight for so long that she might snap at any moment.)（米雷耶大喘气着，她的身体似乎已经过度紧张了太久，紧绷的弦几乎一触即断。）

(She feels around on her body, as though she's looking for something.)（她从身上翻找着，似乎在找些什么东西。）

PaulineWhat's wrong? Did you get all those bad habits back when remembering your past?怎么？想起来之前的事情，就连之前的臭毛病也想起来了？

Mireille...No, rather, I've become more and more on edge after not touching "that" for so long.……不，不如说这么久，我都没有接触到“那个”，我才变得越来越狂躁的。

(Mireille checks herself from head to toe, but she still can't find what she's looking for.)（米雷耶翻遍了全身，都没有找到自己想找的东西。）

CommanderWhat are you looking for?你在找什么？

(Mireille gulps and shakes her head.)（米雷耶咽了口口水，只是摇了摇头。）

PaulineSo much for not touching the goods. You were probably having a field day helping yourself to it.还说自己没碰过货，我看你没少偷。

MireilleI've been working for so damn long and you didn't even give me a fucking raise! So what if I took a little?!他妈的干了这么多年，你从来没给我涨过工资，我拿点怎么了！！

(As Florence watches Mireille get more and more worked up, she sidles over and whispers into her ear.)（眼见米雷耶越来越狂躁，芙洛伦凑到了她的耳边，轻声对她耳语了一句。）

FlorenceI know where to get what you want.我知道你想要的东西在哪。

MireilleW-where is it?在，在哪？

(Florence's smile is as cheerful as ever. She throws her arms out, like she's making an entrance, and bows. Then, she points to the sky.)（芙洛伦笑得一如既往的开朗，她就像是在宣告演出登场一样，大方地张开双臂，行了个礼，随后，伸手指了指天空。）

(Around two dozen suspended cabins dangle from the frame of a Ferris wheel while the wind blows past. However, the difference is that there are costumed clowns climbing among them, clearly visible.)（风呼啸而过，沿着摩天轮的旋转轨迹而行进的，是数十台悬挂设施，但不同的是，扮装小丑们攀爬于其中，清晰可见。）

FlorenceThe third event is about to begin. Everyone, welcome to the "Whirling Mid-Air Maze"!第三场游玩就要开始了哦，各位，欢迎来到——“旋转空中迷宫”！

(The announcement is accompanied by poppers going off, balloons rising into the air, and colorful ribbons glinting in the sunlight.)（伴随着礼炮声，气球升空，空气中漂浮着反射着日光的闪亮彩带。）

MireilleThis is ridiculous, how could there be... above us...胡说八道，这上面怎么……怎么会有……

(Mireille looks where Florence is pointing, at the mid-air cabins, and then she sweeps away a ribbon that landed on her face. Suddenly, some... "thing" falls out of one of the cabins.)（米雷耶顺着芙洛伦的手势，看向空中的游玩设施，她挥手拨开落在脸上的庆祝彩带。突然，一个难以分辨的物体从游乐设施上坠落下来。）

(Thunk—!)（咚——！）

(—It is Esme's corpse.)（——是埃斯梅的尸体。）

(It lands right in front of Mireille, less than a meter away.)（就这样落在了米雷耶的眼前，距离她不足一米的地方。）

(Her twisted features stare right into Mireille's face. Pushed past her limits, Mireille finally bursts into a scream.)（已经扭曲变形的五官恰好就在米雷耶的面前，终于，压力已经到达极限的米雷耶尖叫了出来。）

MireilleEs-Esme!! You, youyouyouyou...! I— I didn't, it wasn't me!!埃……埃斯梅！！你、你你你你……！！！我——我没、不是我！！

(Mireille's legs give out from under her as she collapses to the ground, still staring at the bloody mess that is Esme's body. She pants heavily, but all the deep breaths she's taking don't deliver any useful air to her lungs. All she manages to accomplish is produce a rapid, whooshing noise from her throat, like a set of bellows.)（米雷耶更加慌乱了，她跌坐在地上，看着埃斯梅血肉模糊的身体，大口喘着气，却无论如何，都无法获取一丝氧气，只能任由嗓中发出如同风箱一样呼啦呼啦的叫声。）

FlorenceHaving trouble breathing?难以呼吸了吗？

MireilleHoo—hah—hoo—hah—呼——哈——呼——哈——

(Mireille can't respond, since she's too busy hyperventilating on the ground.)（米雷耶无法回答，她现在只能跪坐在地上艰难地呼吸。）

(Meanwhile, Florence kneels down in front of Mireille like a kindergarten teacher, teaching Mireille how to breathe properly with a smile and exaggerated motions.)（芙洛伦却仿佛幼儿教师一样，屈膝对着米雷耶，用亲和的笑容和夸张的手势，指导着米雷耶的呼吸动作。）

FlorenceOh my, you can't be so hasty. Come, follow me now, open your mouth and breathe in... out... in... out... Mm, what a good girl you are.哎呀，不可以这样急匆匆的哦。跟着我的动作张嘴，来，一……二……一……二，嗯，你做得很好。

(Florence smiles condescendingly and pats her head.)（芙洛伦眯起眼睛看着她，再次摸了摸她的头。）

CommanderHang on, this isn't...等等，这不是……

(This is not proper procedure for dealing with hyperventilation. Seeing as Florence is a medical Doll, she should clearly know better. What she's doing now is nothing more than a form of sadistic mockery.)（这并不是正规的紧急处理，或者说急救。对于芙洛伦这样的医疗人形来说，现在的所作所为，完全就是一种恶趣味。）

MireilleUgh... hrk...!!唔……呕……！！

(Naturally, it does not help Mireille at all. She dry-heaves, then begins feeling her body up and down, checking all her pockets. However, she still does not find what she's looking for.)（显然，这对米雷耶没有任何作用。米雷耶干呕了一声，她胡乱在身上摸着，直到将所有口袋都翻遍，她仍旧没有找到她想要的东西。）

FlorenceWhat you're looking for is in there.你要的东西在悬挂舱内有配备哦。

(Florence smiles evilly and tousles Mireille's hair.)（芙洛伦狡黠地笑着，粗鲁地抚摸着米雷耶的头。）

(What on earth is she looking for?)（她到底想要什么？）

Mireille...!……！！！

(Unable to speak, Mireille gets up and runs off toward the Ferris wheel.)（无法发出声音的米雷耶，就这样奔跑着，率先冲上了游玩设施。）

(Eh, whatever. Once I board it, I'll find out what she's after.)（算了，等到我登上去，自然就知道她想要的是什么了。）

(With that thought in mind, I head over to the Ferris wheel too.)（想到这里，我也向着摩天轮走去。）

Florence...Oh my, I forgot to mention something.……哎呀，忘记提醒了。

FlorenceThere are scaaaaary illusions inside those cabins which might make you go crazy like Mireille. You might not have a good time if you don't find "that".悬挂舱中的密闭空间，同样有着恐怖的幻觉，可能会让人变得像米雷耶一样发狂呢。如果没能找到“那个”的话，可能不太好过哦。

(Once again, I am filled with a sense of foreboding. I look at the cabins, which greatly outnumber the guests, and decide to ask what's on my mind.)（有种异样的感觉升起，我看着数量远大于游客人数的悬挂舱，决定还是问出来。）

Commander...And each cabin has what Mireille needs? Is that right?……你确定在每个悬挂舱内都配备了，米雷耶要的东西，对吧？

FlorenceHehe... Well, that might need a little luck, Commander.哼哼……可能需要一点点运气哦，指挥官。

(An inconclusive answer.)（不明所以的答复。）

FlorenceThis is a special stage, Commander. I hope you have fun.这次可是非常特别的一关，指挥官，尽情享受吧。

(Florence pats my shoulder, encouraging me like before. But when I look behind her, at Esme's corpse, which she was using without a care in the world, a chill runs down my spine.)（芙洛伦拍拍我的肩膀，像之前一样鼓励着我。但当我看到她身后，那个被她毫不在意地拿来利用的埃斯梅尸体时，只觉得一阵寒意涌起。）

Whirling Mid-Air Maze 旋转空中迷宫

FlorenceNow then, congratulations to all our players for successfully completing the "Whirling Mid-Air Maze" stage!那么现在，恭喜各位玩家！顺利完成了“旋转空中迷宫”的游玩！

(I've become a little numb to her mechanically repeated congratulations speech. Rather, I'm more concerned about the number of guests left over after this round.)（对于机械般重复出现的庆贺，我已经有些麻木了，比起那些，现在我更关心这次游玩结束后的游客数量。）

Commander...Ten.……十。

(But no matter how many times I count them, I can only find ten guests remaining. This is one less than before the round started.)（但无论再确认多少遍，我都确信，游客只剩十个人了，比起游玩前的数字，又少了一个人。）

(And the missing person is—)（而这次消失的人，刚好就是——）

CommanderMireille...米雷耶……

(I look up at the Ferris wheel. One cabin is tightly shut, and a feeling of dread rises up in my heart.)（我看向高空中的摩天轮，只有一个悬挂设施的门还紧闭着，一种不祥的预感从我的心中升起。）

(Pauline seems to be thinking the same thing as me, and we both head toward the Ferris wheel.)（珀琳似乎和我有着相同的想法，我们不约而同地走向了摩天轮。）

FlorenceAnd now, the much-anticipated reward time!接下来，就是最令人期待的奖励时间！

Florence...Hm? Where are you two going?……诶，你们两个去哪里？

(Once the cabin finally comes to a halt, Pauline and I slowly open the sealed door—)（等到悬挂设施终于停下来后，我和珀琳缓缓拉开那扇紧闭的门——）

Pauline(Heaves)呕——！！

(As expected, Mireille is in there.)（米雷耶果然就在里面。）

(However, she is hanging upside down in an unnatural way, trussed up by the rope that was meant to ensure her safety. The interior of the cabin is a mess; it seems she spent a long time searching it.)（只不过，她的身体被不自然地倒挂着，而将她挂起的绳索，正是那原本用来保护她安全的安全绳索。舱内一片狼藉，似乎被她翻找过无数次。）

(Her body is covered in some unidentifiable goop, but before I can try to deduce its nature, I am hit by its... complex odor.)（一些混杂不清的黏稠物，遍布她的全身，尽管早已无法分辨那是什么，但却足以让人在看清楚她的表情之前，先闻到复杂的味道。）

FlorenceOh my, I do apologize for this, I'll clean it up later. It's time to collect your reward, so run along now. Otherwise, there might be trouble.哎呀抱歉，稍后我会进行处理的。奖励时间已经到了哦，再不领取奖励的话，恐怕会有麻烦呢。

(After seeing our reaction, Florence goes to urge the other guests to claim their rewards, then hurries over to us.)（看到我们的反应，芙洛伦立即便将其他的游客推去领取奖励。而她则是赶到了我们的身旁。）

CommanderWhat's this?这是怎么回事？

(I squeeze an object in my hand. It is a pink capsule that I found in my cabin's seat. After considering that this might be what Mireille was looking for, I didn't use it and kept it aside.)（我捏紧了手中的东西，那是一颗粉红色的胶囊，是我在舱内的座椅中找到的，想到这或许就是米雷耶想要的东西，我没有使用，将它保存了下来。）

FlorencePerhaps Mireille was just unlucky and didn't manage to find the "drug". Anything could happen when you have to face an enemy in a mentally unbalanced state.可能米雷耶运气不好吧，没有找到“药剂”，精神失控之下迎敌，发生什么都不奇怪。

Pauline...I saw it all.……我都看到了。

(Pauline suddenly speaks up, her eyes fixed on Mireille.)（珀琳却突然开口，她的眼睛仍旧紧盯着米雷耶。）

PaulineThere was no medicine inside her cabin, and the door was locked. She kept throwing up even as she was searching, trying desperately to survive... until those "clowns" showed up.她的舱内根本没有配备药品，舱门被锁死了，她一直在呕吐……直到那些“小丑”出现，米雷耶都在拼命寻找和求生……

(As she says this, said "clowns" turn up behind Florence once again.)（正说着，“小丑”们再次出现在了芙洛伦的身后。）

FlorenceDon't worry about such trivial things. Cheer up a little! You cleared the stage, didn't you? Isn't the reward the most important thing?别管这些有的没的啦，开心点！作为通关者，奖励才是最重要的不是吗？

FlorenceOnce you claim your reward, you'll forget aaaalll about these revolting things.只要你们领取奖励后，这些倒胃口的东西你们就会统统忘记啦。

(Florence produces a pair of party poppers out of nowhere and places them in my and Pauline's hands. The other clowns hand out poppers to the rest of the guests.)（芙洛伦不知道从哪里拿出两支手持礼炮，放到我和珀琳的手里。其他的小丑也纷纷将礼炮递给其他的游客。）

(Meanwhile, she has a party popper of her own—)（而她自己也拿出一支手持礼炮——）

FlorenceBang—!砰——！

(Florence sets hers off in front of us. The confetti flutters down on us, carried by the wind, completely out of place amidst the silence between myself and Pauline.)（芙洛伦在我们二人面前释放了礼炮，礼花随风飘散开来，与我和珀琳的沉默格格不入。）

Pauline...I understand.……我知道了。

(Pauline hesitates for several seconds, then looks at Mireille one last time before turning and leaving.)（珀琳犹豫了数秒，她最后又看了一眼米雷耶，然后转身离开了这里。）

FlorenceNext up—a lovey-dovey world for two!那么——接下来就是二人世界啦！

FlorenceCommander, I promise you'll be thoroughly satisfied with this reward.指挥官，这次的奖励，我保证会让你满意的。

(Florence takes out her syringe, filled with a pink liquid of unknown origin and effects.)（芙洛伦拿出了注射器，里面流淌着看不出名字和效果的粉色液体。）

CommanderAre you going to jab me this time...这次是注射治疗吗……

(Unlike the capsules from the previous two stages, Florence lightly depresses the syringe plunger, then moves up to palpate my neck.)（和前两次的胶囊不同，芙洛伦轻弹了一下注射器的管身，随即便上前单手抚摸上我的脖颈。）

(However, after the events that just transpired, and perhaps because I can pick up a hint of madness in Florence's personality, I find myself repelled by her.)（但随着刚才所经历的事情，或许是因为我察觉到了芙洛伦性格中有些疯狂的元素，我有些抗拒她。）

FlorenceHuh?咦？

(Florence is also taken aback when she sees that I'm pushing her away.)（看着我推开了她，芙洛伦也有些惊讶。）

FlorenceWhat's wrong, Commander? Weren't you having fun earlier?怎么了，指挥官？之前不是都挺愉快的吗？

(It's true that Florence hasn't done me any harm.)（芙洛伦的确没有伤害过我。）

(However...)（但……）

(The terrible fates that befell Esme and Mireille play out in my mind again.)（埃斯梅和米雷耶的惨状再一次出现在我的脑海里。）

Florence—Commander.——指挥官。

(Florence seems to sense what I'm thinking, because she steps forward and presses herself against me.)（芙洛伦似乎察觉到了我在想什么，她上前一步，紧贴着我。）

FlorenceDon't you trust me?你不相信我了吗？

(She looks up, tracing a circle on my chest, like she's teasing me or perhaps flirting with me.)（她仰着头看我，手在我的胸前画着圈，既像是撒娇，又像是诱惑。）

(Perhaps in the past, I might have simply written this off as one of her typical pranks, but now it all seems off.)（如果是之前，或许我还能将这看作她善意的恶作剧，但现在，我却只会觉得怪异。）

Commander...……

(However, my moment of hesitation is enough for her to plunge her syringe's needle into me.)（然而，就在我犹豫的瞬间，她的注射器便已经扎进了我的身体里。）

CommanderWhat... is this...怎么……回事……

(Soon, the strength has fled my body. Florence pushes lightly, and I collapse to the ground.)（很快地，酸软无力的感觉便开始遍布全身，而芙洛伦就在这时顺手一推，将我推倒在了地上。）

FlorenceOh my, I'm sorry, Commander, but you seemed so insistent on struggling. I found it hard to resist the urge to do something to you.哎呀抱歉，指挥官，看到你这副抗拒的样子，我真的很难控制住自己不去对你做些什么呢。

CommanderWhat... are you going to do?你……要干什么？

(Florence smiles smugly and then straddles my body. Then, she feels around and retrieves the pink capsule I hid.)（芙洛伦露出了一个得意的笑容，跨坐到我的身上，随后，从我的身上找到了那枚被我藏起来的粉色胶囊。）

FlorenceI'm going to give the hardworking Commander his well-deserved reward, of course, and a little extra. Please enjoy it.当然是为了努力的指挥官，赠送一些附加奖励，指挥官，请好好享受吧。

Commander...Give it back.……还给我。

FlorenceHonestly, Commander. This could be considered cheating, you know? The fact that I haven't punished you is being quite lenient already. We mustn't be greedy.指挥官真是的，这可是作弊行为，我没有惩罚你已经很网开一面了，不可以这么贪心。

FlorenceAlso, medicine shouldn't be casually taken... See, you're starting to spout nonsense now.而且，药可不能乱吃……你看，你已经开始说胡话了。

(But I haven't eaten a thing besides what you gave me.)（除了你给的药，我根本没有乱吃任何东西。）

(—Much as I'd like to say that, I am currently too weak to say anything at all.)（——尽管很想这么说，但现在的我，已经没有任何力气说出这句话了。）

FlorenceHehe... And now, allow me to give you some treatment—呵呵……接下来，就让我治好你吧——

(Her smiling face blurs in my vision, but Florence's voice still echoes in my ears until I plunge into the abyss.)（她的笑脸变得越来越模糊，在我的意识陷入黑暗之前，芙洛伦的声音仍旧回荡在我的耳边。）

Phantasmal Wonderland 幻境游园

Florence...Hey.……喂。

(A familiar voice speaks into the girl's ear in the darkness. She opens her eyes and sees that medical Doll and her devilish smile.)（黑暗中，一个熟悉的声音，传到了少女的耳朵里，她睁开眼睛，就看到了那名医疗人形如同恶魔一样的笑容。）

(Naturally, she's holding her usual medical cart, with various syringes laid out on it, as well as many "unique concoctions" which the girl cannot name at the moment.)（当然——她的手中少不了她惯用的医疗推车，上面放满了各式各样的注射器，还有无数叫不出名字的“独家药剂”。）

FlorenceDid I wake you? It's injection time.把你吵醒了吗？注射时间到了哦。

GirlIt's alright... Not like I was actually sleeping anyway.没关系……反正我根本就没有在睡觉。

FlorenceYou weren't sleeping?没有在睡觉？

(Florence suddenly becomes more alert.)（芙洛伦突然变得有些警觉起来。）

GirlI just didn't want to.只是不想睡。

GirlWhy do you have all these syringes here, anyway? All these jabs... It's not like they're going to do any good, are they?你怎么又拿了这么多针剂？注射治疗什么的……对我来说，根本没什么作用吧……

(The girl frowns and looks down, tugging at the hem of her gown. At a glance, what lies beneath are a pair of perfectly ordinary and pretty girl's legs. But on closer inspection, an observer will realize that her body has been forced into an illusion of normalcy. Nobody besides her head physician Florence knows exactly what kind of hideously deformed body lurks under her tight bindings.)（少女皱了皱眉，低下头，捏住了自己的裙角。乍一看，裙下只是普通的、优美的少女双腿，但仔细靠近便会发现，这副身体只是强行被塑造成这副正常的姿态。除了主治医师芙洛伦外，没有人知道，她那被严实包裹起来的身体，究竟是如何畸形的模样。）

(She glances at the motorized wheelchair beside her—the object that is practically a second pair of legs for her.)（她用余光窥探着旁边的移动座椅——那对她来说，几乎是第二条腿一样的存在。）

(Her innate deformities and frail constitution have left her unable to use prosthetic limbs. The various devices attached to the wheelchair have practically turned it into an extension of herself.)（因为先天性的畸形和虚弱的身体，她无法使用假肢。座椅上所搭载的各种设备，几乎已经成为她复杂的外置器官。）

(—"It's a waste for me to still be alive". She knows it's wrong to think that, but she can't help thinking it anyway.)（——“我活在世界上只是一种浪费”。她明知道这样想不对，却无法停止自己的想法。）

(The less said about being treated or cured, the better. She knows she doesn't deserve such a good ending. After all, she isn't an amazing person or anything.)（更别提被治好、或是痊愈。那样的好结局与自己的付出不成正比，毕竟自己并不是多么了不起的人。）

FlorenceHm... What should I do... Alright, if the treatment succeeds, I'll give you a reward. How about that?嗯……怎么办呢……如果这次能顺利完成治疗的话，我会给你奖励哦，怎么样？

GirlA reward?!奖励？！

(Upon hearing this, the girl's eyes light up again.)（听到这里，少女的眼神中终于再次出现了光芒。）

GirlR-really? Wow, I can't wait! Your last reward left me excited for an entire day!是、是真的吗？哇，我好期待，上次你给我的奖励，让我兴奋了整整一整天呢！

GirlHehehehe... I wonder what kind of reward it'll be? I'm sure it'll be really exciting coming from you, right, Florence?哼哼哼哼……这次会是怎样的奖励呢，是芙洛伦准备的话，一定很刺激吧？

(The gloominess on the girl's face has vanished. She hums a nameless song, eagerly awaiting Florence's pre-injection examination.)（少女脸上的阴沉一扫而空，她哼着不知名的歌曲，欣快地等待着芙洛伦的注射前检查。）

(However, Florence's eyes turn ice-cold in an instant.)（然而，芙洛伦的目光却一瞬间温度骤降。）

FlorenceSo, was this what you were doing when you "weren't sleeping"?所以，你说的“没有在睡觉”就是在干这个？

(Florence grabs the mug by the girl's bedside table and splashes it on the ground. Its former contents were deep-colored fruit juice that radiated an alluring aroma.)（芙洛伦抓起女孩床边的水杯，迅速地将里面的液体泼在地上，那是一些色泽浓郁的果汁，散发着诱人的甜香。）

GirlW-what the heck! I was going to drink that!干，干嘛倒了啊！我还要喝呢！

FlorenceErdis content exceeds the maximum safe dose by 223.8%... Daring today, aren't we?高于安全值223.8％的厄狄斯含量……你很大胆嘛。

(Florence lightly licks her finger to acquire a sample of the liquid and then shows the scan results to the girl.)（芙洛伦轻舔了一下手指，获得了上面残存的液体，随后将检测结果展示给了少女看。）

GirlEr... I guess that counts as praise, coming from you?欸……能被你这样说，应该算是夸奖？

FlorenceI told you, you can't keep taking Erdis if you want to get better.我提醒过你，要治好你的身体，就不能继续服用厄狄斯了。

Girl...I know that.……我知道。

(She's clearly aware that taking Erdis is like trying to quench her thirst with poisoned wine...)（她明知道继续服用厄狄斯不过是饮鸩止渴。）

(But for her, working hard to live on is little more than enduring pain today to suffer more tomorrow.)（但所谓的努力活下去，对于她来说，不过是在用今天的痛苦，来努力换取痛苦的明天罢了。）

(Rather than live on like that, perhaps just trying to find pleasure in each day that passes might be a more realistic option.)（比起这样活下去，或许每天的快乐对她来说反而更加真实。）

GirlI just want to experience fun things every day, and this is one of them. You mean I can't even do that?我只是想用这种方式来体验更多有趣的东西，这样也不行吗？

GirlSay, Florence. You know everyone's taking this stuff, right? It's not like this is a safe zone or anything, it's perfectly normal here. I've spent 20 years in pain and boredom... So you can't blame me for doing this, right?喂……芙洛伦，你知道的，大家都在用这个，这里可不是什么安全区，这样再正常不过了。我已经度过了痛苦而又无聊的二十年……你不会怪我的，对吗？

(The girl's hands reflexively tighten around her knees, and she gazes ardently into Florence's eyes.)（少女放在膝上的手无意识地攥紧。她热切地盯着芙洛伦的表情。）

GirlI don't belong in this damn world... For people like us, simply being conscious is the greatest suffering of all.这该死的世界不会属于我这种人的……对于我们这样的人来说，清醒才是最大的痛苦啊。

(Florence does not reply. Instead, she puts away her syringes and medical apparatus; it seems this treatment session will not be carried out.)（芙洛伦没有回答，只是将已经准备好的注射器和治疗仪器全部收好，这次的治疗注定无法继续。）

FlorenceWhen you fool your senses with narcotics, you're not seeing the real world, only an illusion.依赖药物所产生的认知障碍，看到的并不是真正的世界，那只是你的幻觉。

Girl..."ONLY an illusion"?……“只是幻觉”？

GirlIf life is an illusion, then I am no less an illusion, and being thus, the illusion is real to me. Why do I have to be fully conscious of everything? I'm happier, more comfortable like this. I... I just want to feel better...幻觉又怎么样？为什么一定要清醒？明明这样更快乐、更舒适的。我……我也只是想让自己好过一点……

GirlI'm human, you know... I'm not a Doll or an ELID. It hurts to live like this, and it's hard trying to live more comfortably...我是人类啊……我不是人形，也不是生骸，我会因为这样的生活而痛苦，我想过得舒服一些没那么容易……

GirlIn the first place, humans can't ever perceive the real world. All we perceive are what our senses tell us. What difference is there between the excitement and joy that I see in my illusions and what you can perceive?人类本来就无法认知到真实的世界，人类能够认知到的只有自己的感觉而已，我在幻觉中感觉到的刺激与快乐，和你们所感觉到的有什么区别吗？

GirlYou see, I can enjoy living like this now—你看，我现在完全可以享受这样的生活——

(Driven by the intense emotions which fill her, the girl tries to rise, but even getting up is difficult when her lower body is paralyzed.)（少女被激烈的情绪所驱使着，想要跳起来，因为她那动弹不得的下半身，连起身都是如此困难。）

(However, the drugs she's taken have inured her to pain and weakness, replaced by a constant feed of dopamine.)（但在幻觉药物的作用下，她早已经感受不到痛苦感和无力感，取而代之的，只有持续分泌的多巴胺。）

GirlHehehe... Did you know, Florence? This is the real miracle. My pain has all been converted to pleasure...呵呵呵……你明白吗，芙洛伦，这才是真正的奇迹啊，我的痛苦全部都会变成快感……

(The girl's body trembles and she gulps down the drool that's been constantly building up.)（少女颤抖着身体，她重重地吞咽下不断分泌的唾液。）

FlorenceWhile I don't want to say this again, this is due to cognitive impairment brought about by your severe brain damage.虽然不想再说一遍，但这也是因为你严重的脑损伤所带来的认知障碍。

(Meanwhile, Florence seems to have grown used to all this and chuckles nonchalantly.)（而芙洛伦却似乎已经对此见怪不怪了，她无所谓地轻笑了一声。）

FlorenceExcessive emotional outbursts aren't good for you. I hope this drug has not completely fried your brain yet and made you forget how you left Mangi Security.情绪起伏太大对你可没好处哦。希望这药没让你脑子彻底坏掉，别让你忘记自己是怎么离开曼尼安保的。

(Saying so, Florence pushes the medical cart away and prepares to leave the ward.)（说完，芙洛伦推着医疗车，准备离开这个病房。）

GirlW-wait! Florence!等——等等！芙洛伦！

(The girl grabs Florence's sleeve.)（少女却抓住了芙洛伦的衣角。）

GirlYou... you aren't going to punish me? Even if you don't reward me, as long as there's punishment...连……连惩罚也没有吗？就算没有奖励，只要有惩罚的话……

(The girl's face is flushed and pink; there's no way to tell what she's thinking.)（无人知晓她究竟联想到了什么，少女的脸颊泛起了点点红晕。）

FlorenceYour body can't bear the injections now, otherwise you'll suffer great pain—so much that you might wish you were dead, you know? Or you might just die on the spot.你的身体现在没办法注射，否则的话，你会非常痛苦——痛苦得要死掉哦？说不定真的会死。

(However, this only seems to excite the girl more. She pants heavily and her breathing grows chaotic.)（然而，这句话却让少女更加兴奋了，她大口呼吸着，气息逐渐变得凌乱起来。）

GirlR-really? Now I'm curious... I want to know just what kind of pain that would be.是，是吗？我很好奇……这到底是什么样的痛苦。

(Even if I died, how would it be any worse than how I'm living now? Hehe... or perhaps what you call pain might end up being pleasure for me... hahaha...)（即便是死了也没关系，还有什么能比现在更糟？呵呵……或许你口中的痛苦，对我来说却是快乐呢……哈哈哈……）

(Florence looks at the girl, and then she laughs, as though she's suddenly amused by her.)（芙洛伦看着少女，似乎是突然觉得有趣，她也笑了出来。）

FlorenceIn that case, why don't you tell me what the world you're seeing now is like?那你也告诉我吧，你现在所看到的世界，是什么样子的？

(After hearing that, the girl looks out the window. Her eyes sparkle, and for a moment, Florence thinks she can see something in her eyes—)（少女听完后，看向了窗外，她的眼睛熠熠闪光，芙洛伦竟然一瞬间觉得，自己似乎在那双瞳孔中，看到了倒映的——）

GirlAn amusement park.游乐园。

GirlA happy, lively, heavenly place. There, you can be happy, no matter what you seek.欢快的、热闹的、仿佛天堂一样的地方。在那里，无论你的愿望是什么，你都会得到幸福。

(The girl grabs Florence's hands and pulls her over.)（少女猛地抓住了芙洛伦的双手，将芙洛伦拉近到自己的面前。）

(Their eyes meet—hers are wide and unblinking, fully exposed to Florence.)（四目相对，她圆睁着的眼睛眨都不眨一下，瞳孔毫无遮挡地展露在芙洛伦的眼前。）

GirlCan you see it? A dreamscape filled with cries of joy, a kaleidoscopic fantasy... one that makes my heart race and fills me with nonstop pleasure, one that makes me feel like I'm still alive.)你看到了吗？尖叫的梦境，斑斓的幻想……让我心跳加速，让我持续不断地感受着快感，让我感觉到我还在活着。

(For a moment, Florence can almost hear the laughs and music from the park. But soon, the girl's hurried panting drowns those sounds out.)（一瞬间，芙洛伦几乎就要听到了，乐园中的欢笑和歌曲。但很快地，对方急促的喘息声淹没了这些如同幻觉一样的声音。）

(—Can a person's fantasies really influence others?)（——一个人的幻觉，真的会影响其他人吗？）

(A guess that's so bold that even Florence finds it hard to believe begins welling up in her neural cloud. She can clearly feel her clock speed rising and the circulatory fluid's flow rate going up.)（一个大胆到连芙洛伦都难以置信的猜想，正在她的心智中出现。她清楚地感觉到，自己的运算速率正在提升，循环液的流动速度加快。）

(She's getting excited too, even if she didn't intend to be.)（尽管这并非她的本意，但她兴奋起来了。）

(In the end, Florence breaks away from the girl and turns away, leaving the ward.)（最终，芙洛伦还是用力甩开少女，不再去看她，转身离开病房。）

(On her way out, she notices an amusement park stamp book on the girl's bedside table. It's old, but it's been very well preserved.)（临走时，她的余光瞥到，少女旁边的桌子上，摆放着一本乐园集章册，尽管看上去十分老旧，但却被保存得很好。）

Heartbeat Accelerator 9001? 心跳加速器9001？

Florence...Hey.……喂。

(The light is too dazzling for my drowsy brain. It awakens me, but also intensifies the pain in my head.)（对于昏沉的大脑来说过于强硬的光芒，将我唤醒，同时也加重了我头部的剧痛。）

FlorenceAh, you're awake at last.啊，醒了醒了。

(I open my eyes and see Florence before me, looking at me with a concerned expression on her face. This scene feels very familiar.)（我睁开眼睛，芙洛伦正在我的面前，关切地看着我。这一幕，无论怎么看都十分熟悉。）

(Unfortunately, I have a splitting headache and I still remember what she did just now, so I can't bring myself to be as close to her as I was just now.)（遗憾的是，尽管头痛欲裂，我始终还记得她刚才所做的事情，所以我实在无法与她像之前一样亲近。）

FlorenceThe procedure was very successful, but complete recovery will take time.手术很成功，不过，完全恢复还是需要时间的。

(Procedure? Like what, a surgical procedure?)（手术？）

(There's a scalpel on the table beside the slab, along with a slew of medical devices whose purpose completely eludes me. I have a pretty good idea of what Florence did while I was unconscious. I try moving my body, and fortunately, everything seems to be working fine.)（试验台旁边摆放着一套手术刀，加上那些我无法完全辨认的医疗设备，芙洛伦在我昏迷时做过什么，我有了大概的猜测。我试着活动了一下身体，所幸，身体并无大碍。）

CommanderWhat did you do to me?你做了什么？

FlorenceWhat else could I do? I'm a medical Doll; all I do is provide treatment.还能有什么？我作为医疗人形，所能做的就只有治疗而已。

FlorenceAlso, I made sure to hold myself back even when looking at your sleeping face, Commander.而且，直面着指挥官的睡脸，我可是好好忍住了哦。

FlorenceOr... are you saying you WANTED me to do something to you, Commander?还是说……指挥官希望我做些什么？

(The headache flares—)（头痛欲裂——）

Commander...No. Speaking of which, what exactly did I need treatment for, anyway?……没有，话说回来，我有什么需要治疗的地方吗？

(It's true that she's been giving me plenty of "treatment" since I came here.)（从我来到这里后，她的确做出了不少“治疗行为”。）

(First it was feeding me medication, then jabbing me, now it's full-on surgery, and she's even treating it like some kind of reward.)（一会给我吃药，一会又是注射治疗的，现在还升级成了手术，甚至把这当作奖励。）

FlorenceIt was to fix your brain problems, of course. At the very least, I had to make you remember me, Commander.当然是为了治好指挥官的脑子了。至少，要想起我才行。

(She laughs and draws closer to me, radiating goodwill. For a moment, I'm brought back to when I first met her, and all the cruel things she did seem utterly unrelated to her.)（她笑着靠近我，释放着完全的善意，一瞬间，我仿佛回到了最开始，刚遇到她的时候。刚才那些残忍的行为，似乎全部与她无关。）

FlorenceWell, did you have a dream?怎么样，有没有做什么梦？

CommanderSort of...算是有吧……

(I rub my temples and the piercing pain banishes the fog in my brain for a while, allowing me to instantly recall what I saw in my dream.)（我揉着太阳穴，尖锐的疼痛短暂地驱散了迷雾，让我在一瞬间清晰地回忆起梦中看到的场景。）

CommanderI saw a run-down amusement park, and that stamp book... this stamp book, the one I'm holding now, it was all tattered and filthy.我看到了一个，破败的游乐园，还有，那个集章册……我手里拿着集章册，也破破烂烂的。

FlorenceOh~ Then did you dream of me, Commander? You were moaning my name the whole time.哦~那有没有梦到我呢？指挥官做梦时可是一直在喊我的名字。

CommanderMoaning your... you're making that up, aren't you?喊你的名字……这是胡说的吧？

(I think back on what I saw. That vision was incomparably real and complete compared to all the previous times, but soon the brain fog rolls back in, and try as I might, I just can't recall the memory in its entirety.)（我思索了一下，这次的梦境前所未有地真实、完整。但很快，迷雾又笼罩了起来，无论如何我都无法找回完整的回忆。）

FlorenceOh, I was just asking. After all, I would feel terribly alone if only I remembered you, while you didn't remember me.只是试探一下嘛，毕竟，只有我记得指挥官，指挥官却不记得我，我也是会很寂寞的。

(I look around. There are medical devices everywhere in the room, but rather than a clinic, all these mysterious chemicals and experimental equipment lining the walls make it look more like a lab.)（我环顾四周，尽管房间内有着不少的医疗设备，但比起医疗室，那些难以辨识的神秘药剂和实验器材让它更像是一间实验室。）

(Meanwhile, the area cordoned off by several sheets of white cloth on the other side of the room ought to be a makeshift recovery ward. I can vaguely make out the shapes of patient beds there.)（而在房间的另一边，几张白色帘子盖住的，应该就是病患休息的区域，隐约可见那后面的医疗床。）

FlorenceWhat are you looking at?在看什么？

(I don't know if she's worried that I found something, but Florence suddenly thrusts her face into mine and blocks my line of sight.)（不知道是不是担心我发现什么，芙洛伦强硬地凑到了我的眼前，挡住了我的视线。）

CommanderWhere is this place?这是哪里？

(I decide not to ask about the cordoned area directly and inquire about something else instead.)（我没有直接询问她被遮住的区域，而是问起了别的问题。）

CommanderThis doesn't look like in the amusement park, and there are no other guests here.不像是游玩设施，四周也没有其他的游客。

FlorenceIt's the manager's private clinic, of course, one of those so-called "employees only, no visitors allowed" areas.是专属于管理员小姐的诊疗室，所谓“员工重地，游客免入”的地方。

CommanderAh, so it was your room.原来是你的房间啊。

FlorenceYup, so if there's anything you want to do with me here, this is the perfect place for it, you know?是哦，所以，如果指挥官如果想做些什么的话，这里可是个好地方哦？

(A... perfect place?)（好地方？）

FlorenceAaaaaabsolutely nobody is going to find us here.绝对，绝对不会有人发现的。

(She fixes me with an earnest gaze, like she's trying to send some kind of message to me.)（她认真地看着我，似乎是想要传递某些信息。）

(What could she possibly be getting at?)（这是什么意思？）

Commander...I'll pass. When does the next round start?……不用了，下一场游玩什么时候开始？

(After thinking briefly, I decide to head to the next attraction instead.)（我稍加思考，决定还是先前往下一次的游玩场地。）

(I need to learn more through playing the game, so hanging around here won't help.)（情报还是要在游玩中收集，继续待在这里也于事无补。）

FlorenceWon't you stay a little longer? It's been so long since we shared a lovey-dovey world for two.不多留一会吗？好不容易能度过一会二人世界了。

FlorenceYou're in such a hurry to leave right after completing your surgery... Take care of your body, okay?刚下手术台，就这么急着走……小心身体哦。

CommanderDefinitely not.不用。

FlorenceLooks like you're more anxious than me, Commander.看来指挥官比我还要心急呢。

(A massive steel structure looms silently before us. Its metal rails flow smoothly and aesthetically, incorporating steep drops, hard turns, and dizzying spirals, and even a 90-degree direct downward descent. It gleams with a metallic sheen in the sunlight, resembling nothing so much as a tangle of barbed wire.)（巨大的钢铁构造物，沉默地矗立在我的眼前，金属轨道的曲线流畅而又富有美感，包含了大幅度的俯冲、急转弯和盘旋，甚至还有垂直的俯冲段，在阳光下闪烁着金属的光泽，就像是一团纠缠在一起的金属丝线。）

(Even the launch mechanism is designed to look like some vast, ferocious beast with its distinct and sharp angles. It's not hard to imagine what kind of sound its engine will make.)（连发射装置都做成了极具威慑力的庞大野兽形状，棱角分明，不难想象发动机启动后，会发出怎样的声音。）

FlorenceTadaaaah! Commander, come look! This is our most exciting attraction— the "Heartbeat Accelerator 9001".锵锵——！指挥官，快看，这就是这里最惊险刺激的游玩项目——“心跳加速器9001”。

(Granted, it looks quite impressive, but in the end it's just a roller coaster.)（虽然很壮观，但不管怎么看，它都只是过山车而已。）

(And the most important thing is that it looks completely the same as the "Heartbeat Accelerator 9000" that we rode for the first event.)（最重要的是，它和第一场游玩的“心跳加速器9000”，完全没有任何区别。）

CommanderHaven't we been on this one before?这个玩过了吧？

(I wave my stamp book at Florence.)（我对芙洛伦晃了晃手中的集章册。）

CommanderWouldn't it be best to move on to another attraction to clear all the stages quickly and claim the grand prize ASAP?为了快速通关获得最终奖品，还是快点去下一个游玩设施吧？

FlorenceHuh? What are you talking about, Commander? We haven't gone on this one yet. You mustn't clear the stages out of order, you know?诶？指挥官，你在说什么啊？这个还没玩呢，不按顺序通关可不行哦？

(Florence looks at me in surprise, like I just said something strange.)（芙洛伦惊讶地看着我，仿佛我说了什么奇怪的话。）

CommanderWhat do you mean, "haven't gone on this one yet"? Do you really think adding +1 to the number makes it a brand new ride?什么说什么的……你不会以为数字变一下，就能算是新游玩项目了吧？

(I look around, trying to see if anyone else around me agrees. Quite the opposite, in fact—all the guests here look at me like I grew a second head.)（我看向四周，想要从其他人的反应中找到一丝认同。而相反的是，在场的所有游客，都像是看怪人一样看着我。）

Other GuestsWhat's this guy talking about... We only just arrived at the park, didn't we?这家伙在说什么啊……大家不是才刚来这座游乐园吗？

Frightened WomanEsme... How many times have we gone on this ride now?埃斯梅……你告诉我，这是我们第几次玩这台游乐设施了？

EsmeEr... This ought to be our first time here, right? What are you talking about, we only just came here...不……不是第一次吗？你在说什么啊，我们才刚来这座游乐园啊……

Frightened WomanNo! Noooo! This definitely isn't our first time here!不对！！不对！！这绝对不是第一次！！

Commander...What's going on?……怎么回事？

FlorenceI mean, surely it's no big deal if she's already ridden the roller coaster before, right?就算已经玩过了这台过山车，也不是什么大事吧？

(Upon seeing the confused look on my face, Florence approaches and speaks quietly to soothe me, but it does nothing to relieve my unease.)（看我有些疑惑的表情，芙洛伦靠近我，轻声安慰着我，但我却丝毫没有为此而感到安心。）

CommanderI mean, surely it's no big deal if she's already ridden the roller coaster before, right?就算已经玩过了这台过山车，也不是什么大事吧？

CommanderIf you enjoyed the ride, then going on it several more times surely wouldn't be an issue.碰到喜欢的游乐设施，多玩几次并不奇怪。

FlorenceOh yes, you've ridden it with me a number of times.是啊，指挥官经常会陪我坐好几轮呢。

FlorenceDon't you usually go on it with me several times, Commander?指挥官不是经常会陪我坐好几轮吗？

(Florence's smile is as warm as ever, but right now, it seems utterly alien.)（芙洛伦露出了和往常一样温和的笑容，但现在，那笑容却让我感到无比陌生。）

(—She's saying what I said.)（——她说了我说过的话。）

(She clearly remembers what's going on, but she's pretending that this is our first time on this ride. What's Florence's game here?)（明明记得，但却假装成第一次游玩这个项目的样子，芙洛伦究竟想做什么？）

FlorenceNow then, take your seat, Commander! Hurry!那么，指挥官也快点就座吧！

(The guests present don't seem to have realized they've gone on the ride already. They excitedly board the roller coaster like it's their first time.)（场上的游客，似乎也并未发现自己已经游玩过一次了，纷纷像是第一次游玩一样，兴奋地登上了过山车。）

(Dubious, I follow suit.)（我半信半疑地跟了上去。）

FlorenceNow then, your seat is here, Commander.那么，指挥官的座位就是这里啦。

(Even my place is the exact same as before.)（甚至连我的座位也和第一次游玩时一模一样。）

(I look around, and the others are in practically the same seats as the first time round. Meanwhile, the seats of the people who have vanished are naturally empty.)（我环顾四周，其他人的座位也几乎和第一次一样，而已经消失的人，他们的座位理所当然地空着。）

(Suddenly, my thoughts are interrupted by an abrupt glare—)（突然，一个有些唐突的目光打断了我的思考——）

(Pauline is looking at me.)（珀琳正在看着我。）

FlorenceOh, Commander, what a coincidence, there just so happens to be an empty seat beside you.啊，指挥官，好幸运，你旁边刚好有一个空位诶。

CommanderSorry, Florence.抱歉，芙洛伦。

(As Florence prepares to sit down beside me like before, I get up right before she takes her seat and walk over to the woman looking at me as Florence watches in shock.)（在芙洛伦打算像上一次一样，坐进我旁边座位的瞬间，我抢先一步站了起来，在芙洛伦吃惊的眼神中，径直走向了那个一直在看着我的女性。）

PaulineNot going to sit beside Miss Manager?不坐在管理员小姐旁边吗？

CommanderWe don't have much time, so I'll just skip that for now.时间很紧迫，这次就算了吧。

(I look at Florence, who is also looking at me. I can't tell what she's thinking from her gaze.)（我看了芙洛伦一眼，她也正看向我，她的目光让我看不清她在想什么。）

PaulineI thought she dragged you off for punishment. I didn't expect to see you again.我以为你被她带走处罚了，没想到还能再见到你。

(Pauline's words confirm my guess.)（珀琳的话证实了我的猜想。）

CommanderLet's get to the point, I don't do pleasantries.直入主题吧，我不擅长寒暄。

(We take our seats and do up our safety belts. I deliberately avoid Florence's gaze.)（我在位置上坐好，系好安全带，刻意忽略了芙洛伦的目光。）

CommanderI've finished this ride once before, but the others seem to have forgotten about this.这个过山车，我们已经通关过一次了。但其他人似乎都忘记了这件事。

PaulineIs that all?只有这些？

CommanderWhat else should there be?还应该有什么？

PaulineMia found out about this too, and things didn't end well for her.米娅也发现了这些，她的下场可算不上好。

CommanderLooks like you know more than I do. You even remember what happened to Mia.看来你比我知道的还多，连米娅的事情，你都记得清清楚楚。

(However, Mia went crazy after learning too much and self-destructed. This is clearly not the case for Pauline.)（但知道了太多的米娅已经变得疯狂，然后走向了毁灭，珀琳却完全不同。）

CommanderWhy are you alright?为什么你没事？

PaulineAre you that eager for me to die?你很希望我也丧命吗？

CommanderI mean, I just want to soak up some, er, experience for protecting myself.我只是希望得到一些，呃，自保的经验。

(Pauline suddenly smiles, her gaze drifting to the top of the roller coaster in the distance.)（珀琳突然笑了，她远远地看向过山车的顶端。）

PaulineDon't worry too much. I've been on this roller coaster about a dozen times, and I'm still sitting here perfectly fine.不用太担心，我大概已经玩了十几次这台过山车了，还是好好地坐在这里。

CommanderA dozen times?!十几次？！

(So she didn't die, but she didn't get the full-clear prize and she hasn't left the park all this time?)（虽然没有丧命，但是却并未获得通关奖励，也一直没有离开这座乐园？）

PaulineWell, I don't know the exact number, but I don't remember anything from more than a dozen loops ago.具体的数字我早就已经记不清了，但我原本并不记得之前这十几次的。

(It's as though she can sense my confusion, because she speaks in a cool, calm manner, like she's talking about the weather.)（像是看出了我的疑惑一样，她冷淡地说着，像是在说一件稀松平常的事情。）

Commander...Go on.……继续说。

PaulineOne day, during a certain "reward time", I began to recall what happened before I came to this park. I slowly realized what was going on.因为某一天突然出现的“奖励时间”，我逐渐想起来了。甚至，想起了自己在来到这座乐园之前的事情。我逐渐意识到，这里究竟发生了什么。

PaulineI'm not the only one. Many people have begun waking up too.不止是我，还有不少人逐渐清醒了起来。

CommanderWhat?什么？

CommanderSo does that medicine really fix the brain?所以，那些药真的是治疗脑子的？

(After suspecting Florence for so long, I'm suddenly at a loss for words. Was she really just giving us medical care? And is this looping amusement park just a psychiatric ward for treating mental patients?)（原本有些怀疑芙洛伦的我，突然有些失语，她真的只是在进行治疗？所以这循环往复的游乐园，只是一个治疗疯子的病院？）

(Then why is it that everyone, myself included, has fuzzy memories?)（那包括我在内的所有人，又是因为什么，才让自己的记忆变得如此模糊呢？）

PaulineAnd that was when the real nightmare started.而真正的噩梦，从这里才开始。

(Pauline seems to have anticipated my reply, because she continues.)（珀琳似乎料到了我的反应，她继续说着。）

PaulineWe began going on the rides in order to chase these brief moments of lucidity... and as a result, we began actively playing the game.我们追寻着这种短暂的清醒感……开始主动游玩这些设施。

PaulineThat was when the stakes for the attractions began going up, when lives began to be lost.而就在此时，游玩设施的惊险程度开始加码了，甚至开始出现人命。

CommanderDo you not want to leave this place?这种游乐园，你们不会想离开吗？

(Pauline shakes her head.)（珀琳摇了摇头。）

PaulineIt's not that we don't want to, but we can't.不是不想，是不能。

PaulineHaven't you realized it yet? There's no way out. What's really strange is that the exit seems to have vanished after you came here.你没发现吗，你根本找不到这里的出口。很奇怪，当你来到这里后，出口似乎就消失了。

PaulineI can kind of guess how she did it—probably another form of drug. As you can see, that manager is very good at this sort of thing. The drug's damaged our brains, making us see something that isn't really there... and keeping us from finding the way back.我大概能猜到她是怎么做到这一点的——恐怕是另一种药物。就像你看到的那样，那个管理员，她很擅长这东西。药物损伤了我们的大脑，让我们看不到真实的世界……找不到回去的路。

PaulineWhen you refuse to play, you won't get your "reward". Then your memories become hazy, which makes it even harder to find your way back or even to remember why you need to escape in the first place. But even after playing for so long, I've never been able to truly find a way out of here.当你拒绝游玩，你便无法得到“奖励”，记忆也会更加模糊，从而更加找不到回去的路，甚至忘记逃走本身。但即便我不停地游玩，我却始终没能真正找到离开这里的方法。

PaulineThat's the other reason why we can't escape.这也是我们无法逃走的另一个原因。

(The "reward" is like a drug, which eases Pauline and the others' symptoms, but it also makes them dependent on this place.)（“奖励”就像是一种药，缓解了珀琳她们的症状，也让她们更加依赖这里。）

(Florence's drugs, syringes, and that procedure of hers come to mind again.)（芙洛伦的药剂、注射器、还有手术再次浮现在我的脑海里。）

CommanderIs this why you're remaining here even after learning all this information?这就是你明明获得了这么多的情报，却还留在这里的原因吗？

PaulineNot entirely... I know how this park works, but I also know that I deserve to be here for what I've done.不全是……我知道这座乐园是怎么构筑的，也知道这是我罪有应得。

(Pauline mutters quietly, then smiles again.)（珀琳小声念叨着，随后又恢复了笑容。）

CommanderIs it related to your job? If I'm not wrong, you're all truckers from Mangi Security.应该和你的工作有关吧？你们应该都是曼尼安保的运输队员。

Pauline...I can't say.……我不能说。

CommanderStill clinging to your NDA at a time like this?这种时候还惦记你们的保密协议？

PaulineHehe, well, just think of me as a resident here. Once I've turned the unusual into my new normal, that means I've been completely tamed by this park.呵呵，你就当我是这里的常驻居民吧。当我将反常当成了习惯的时候，我早已经被这座游乐园所驯化了。

PaulineAll I can tell you is that the clear prize or whatnot is a lie. The moment you come here and the main gate vanishes behind you, you will never be able to leave this place.我只能告诉你，所谓的通关大奖不过是个骗局，当你来到这里的那一刻，背后的门从此消失，你便永远无法离开这里了。

PaulineAs for that manager, I should have realized it earlier. She's the one controlling the poison and medicine both! She's just using them to make us dance in the palm of her hand! There's no way we could leave, and no way she'd ever cure us!至于那个管理员，该死，我早该想到的，毒和药根本全在她一个人手里，她只是用这种东西，把我们玩得团团转！根本不可能让我们离开，更不会治好我们！

PaulineIf you don't believe me, check that stamp book you're holding.不信的话，就看看你手中的集章册吧。

(I take out the book, and the wind riffles its pages, flipping page after page, but the contents are all indistinct—)（我拿出集章册，风吹拂着手中的册子，一页又一页的纸张被无序地翻开，上面的内容却是模糊的——）

(I can't see the ride names or the requirements for collecting stamps, and most importantly, there's no end to the pages. They keep flipping and flipping endlessly.)（看不到游玩项目，看不到集章要求，更重要的是，无论再翻多少页，都翻不到最后一页，永无尽头。）

CommanderWhat's... going on here?这是……怎么回事？

(Just like how the main gate vanished at the start, I would have sworn I was seeing things if I hadn't been certain that my mind was clear.)（就像最开始那个消失的大门一样，如果不是因为我确信我的头脑十分清醒，这几乎魔幻到像是幻觉。）

(...Or perhaps that WAS an illusion. But in that case, where is the line between reality and illusion in this place?)（……或许就是幻觉，只是，在这里，幻觉和现实的界限究竟在哪里？）

CommanderSo if all this is a lie, then why are you... no, why are we trapped here?如果这一切都是骗局，那把你们……不，还有我困在这里的原因是什么？

(There's no point to all this.)（这根本毫无意义。）

PaulineWho knows. Perhaps... it's just because...谁知道呢……或许只是因为……

Pauline...It's fun?……好玩吧？

(I look where Pauline is looking. Florence is smiling sadistically as she starts the roller coaster up.)（我顺着珀琳的目光看过去，芙洛伦残忍地笑着，启动了过山车。）

CommanderWhy are you telling me this?你为什么要告诉我？

PaulineEven the most exciting game becomes boring after it turns into a routine. I'm just tired.再刺激的游戏，变成日常后，也会很无聊的，我只是累了而已。

(In the next moment, we are plunged into the pitch-black tunnel. I hear the same sounds of flesh tearing like before, and the air once again turns damp and sickly sweet.)（下一刻，在漆黑隧道中，我听到了和此前一样的，血肉撕裂的声音。空气再一次变得潮湿且腥甜。）

(Drip drip.)（滴答、滴答。）

(Drip drip drip, dripdripdrip.)（滴答、滴答、滴答、滴答滴答滴答。）

(The wind is still howling, but I can hear droplets of liquid splashing on the ground.)（风声并未减弱，但我却从中听到了液体落地的声音。）

CommanderPauline!珀琳！

(All I can see now is a shredded, severed limb, but I can tell who it belongs to. Even after being ripped to pieces, Pauline didn't scream, didn't even make a sound.)（但现在，我的面前，只有一些破碎的残肢，但我仍旧能够辨认出它们曾属于谁。直到她变得七零八落，珀琳都没有发出一声惨叫，甚至没有一声呜咽。）

FlorenceCommander, maybe you should take care of yourself before worrying about her?指挥官，比起她来说，还是先照顾好自己比较好哦？

(Florence has moved up to me without me noticing, a cheerful smile on her face. Behind her, the gore-soaked costumed clowns are capering around and playing with brightly colored balloons.)（芙洛伦不知何时来到了我的身前，面对我露出轻盈的微笑。而她的身后，沾染了鲜血的扮装小丑们雀跃着，挥舞着彩色的气球。）

CommanderYou don't have to worry about that.这一点，就不用你担心了。

Heartbeat Accelerator 9001? 心跳加速器9001？

FlorenceNow then! Congratulations to our players for completing a course of the "Heartbeat Accelerator 9001"!那么现在，恭喜各位玩家！顺利完成了“心跳加速器9001”的游玩！

(As the people around me celebrate their survival, I walk directly up to Florence.)（在四周劫后余生的庆幸声中，我径直走向芙洛伦。）

CommanderWe need to talk.看来我们得聊聊了。

FlorenceOh, so eager, Commander?这就等不及了吗，指挥官？

FlorenceBut unfortunately there are no special prizes this time round. There's nothing else I can do.不过很遗憾，这次没有特别奖励了。我已经没有什么能做的了。

(In contrast to her usual antics, Florence turns and makes to leave.)（芙洛伦一反常态，转身想要离开。）

CommanderDropping the act now?演都不演了吗？

(I open up the stamp book and throw it in front of her.)（我直接将集章册翻开，丢到芙洛伦的眼前。）

CommanderHow many more secrets does this amusement park hold?这座乐园里，到底还藏了多少秘密？

(I take a big step forward, past Florence, and block her path.)（继续向前一大步，我越过芙洛伦，挡住了她的去路。）

CommanderGoing on rides over and over again, losing our memories, never getting the "clear prize"... This endless game is nothing but a scam.循环往复的游玩，消失的记忆，永远无法获得的通关奖励，这场永远无法结束的游戏，真的只是一场骗局。

CommanderAnd people have died for this lame scam.而这些游客就为了这种无聊的骗局白白浪费了生命。

FlorenceHehe... Forceful, aren't you, Commander? That just excites me even more.哼哼……很强势嘛，这样的指挥官，让我更加心动了呢。

CommanderAnswer my question.回答我的问题。

(However, the world fades into a blur before my eyes.)（然而，下一个瞬间，眼前的世界却突然变得模糊起来。）

FlorenceAw, what a shame. I haven't gotten this hot and bothered in a while, but you folded so quickly.难得我刚有些兴致，你却这么快就坚持不住了呢。

CommanderWhat did you do...你做了什么……

FlorenceThis is just because you were too hasty, no?是指挥官自己太着急了吧？

FlorenceAfter all, you DID just undergo a medical procedure and haven't finished recovering yet. You shouldn't have gone on such an exciting ride in your current state.一个刚做完手术的人，恢复期还没过，就这样急不可耐地跑来玩这么刺激的东西。

(Florence reaches a hand out and waves it in front of me.)（芙洛伦伸出手，在我的眼前晃了晃。）

FlorenceSee? You can't see anything anymore.看吧，完全看不清楚了。

CommanderIs... that so?是……吗？

(My vision steadily returns, but by the time it resolves into clarity, the scene before me is completely different.)（意识逐渐恢复时，眼前的景象已经变得完全不同了。）

(Just like the illusion from before, I'm seeing that ruined amusement park again.)（和之前所看到的幻觉相似，又是那座破败的游乐园。）

(This time, however, every detail is rendered in incredible clarity, to the point where it doesn't seem like an illusion at all.)（但这一次，眼前的景象却尤其清楚，清楚得几乎不像是幻觉。）

CommanderThat's right... This is the place.对了……就是这里。

(I remember everything now.)（我全都想起来了。）

CommanderHuh, so it really IS an amusement park—还真是个游乐园啊——

CommanderAre those people and the "Blackcurrant" all hidden here?“黑醋栗”……还有那些人，会藏在这里吗？

Surprise Ad Flyer 惊喜宣传册

Dear Commander:亲爱的指挥官：

Guess who I am?猜猜我是谁？

CommanderThis way of speaking... don't tell me it's...这个口吻，难道是……

CommanderWho let this junk mail past the filters again?谁又把垃圾诈骗邮件给放进来了。

Wait! Don't delete this so soon, Commander! This time, it's really important! It's different from all the previous commissions!等等！先别急着删掉嘛，指挥官，这次真的是有重要的事情啦，和之前的委托都不一样！

A shipment of goods from Mangi Security went missing along with the personnel accompanying it.曼尼安保那边有批货在运输中失踪了，一起失踪的，还有执行这个任务的成员。

CommanderCan't they handle it by themselves? Since when did they need a bounty hunter like me to wipe their asses?他们就不能自己处理这事吗？轮到我这样的赏金猎人来管了？

CommanderI'm not interested in dirtying my hands with their affairs.我没兴趣掺和这种狗咬狗的事情。

You're probably about to say no, but hold on… Leaving aside the payment for the commission—你肯定要拒绝了吧？但别急啊，先不说这次的报酬有多丰厚——

I promise that finding them before Mangi Security does has only upsides for you.最重要的就是，要先于曼尼安保找到这些，我保证对你没坏处。

CommanderOh?……哦？

(I have to admit, this IS quite appealing. And if I'm not wrong, this shipment... probably contains something of great interest to me.)（不得不承认，这确实有些吸引力，如果我猜得没错，这批货物……恐怕有我很感兴趣的东西。）

I've already sent the location and important files over. Oh yes, this mission is a little special, so don't bring your Dolls along. After all, we haven't seen each other in a while, so let's keep this nice and intimate, shall we?坐标和必要的资料我已经发过去了哦，对了，这次任务有些特殊，不要带人形来，好久没见了，还是二人世界更好一些吧？

In any case, I'll definitely take responsibility and keep you safe, Commander. Plus, the payment is █████████, you know!总之，我肯定会负起责任，保护好指挥官的安全啦。报酬可是█████████哦！

Of course, and the most most most important thing is the extra bonus payment, namely~ my...当然，最最最重要的就是，额外的报酬——我，的，全……

CommanderWhat the hell kind of scam did she get caught up in?这家伙……到底进了什么诈骗组织？

(While I know exactly who made this commission, it still looks like some kind of new scam.)（虽然已经知道发送赏金委托的人是谁了，但这看上去仍旧很像某种新型骗局。）

(Unable to bear it any longer, I immediately close the email. The rest of it is probably some meaningless drivel.)（没能看下去，我就立刻关掉了邮件，后面大概都是一些无意义内容了。）

(Then, I open the attachment to see what files the client sent.)（我点开附件，准备翻阅委托人提供的资料。）

(In addition to the coordinates of my destination is a photograph—)（而附件中除了坐标外，只有一张照片——）

CommanderHuh, so it really IS an amusement park—还真是个游乐园啊——

CommanderAre those people and the "Blackcurrant" all hidden here?“黑醋栗”……还有那些人，会藏在这里吗？

Phantom Funland Revelation 幻乐见真

(Rustle—)（沙——）

(Rustlerustle—)（沙沙——）

(It is the sound of footsteps, or to be precise, the sound of ten-odd people walking together through this deserted wasteland. Clearly, they have been here for far too long.)（是走路的声音，确切地说，是大约十个人一起，无序地在这片人烟罕至的荒野上行进的声音，显然，他们已经在这里待了太久了。）

(Their clothes are tattered rags, and their frames are emaciated. Their eyes are sunken and hollow, and their rags are stained in blood. Some of their wounds have scabbed over, others are oozing pus, and there's even one who can't walk, their wheelchair squeaking as they roll along.)（这些人大部分衣衫褴褛，形销骨立，眼神空洞，衣服也尽数被鲜血所染红。有些人的伤口已经结痂，有些人的伤口处正在向外淌着青黄色的脓水，还有的人甚至无法进行走路，脚下的轮椅嘎吱作响。）

(This so-called amusement park is nothing more than a set of long-abandoned ruins. It's only barely recognizable as having once been an amusement park.)（而所谓的游乐园，现在看来，也不过是一片荒弃已久的废墟，只能依稀辨认出曾经游乐园的样子。）

(While it's hard to recognize them, there's no doubt that these sleepwalkers amidst the ruins are visitors to this amusement park. Like ghosts, they have forgotten their past and are forever trapped here.)（尽管样貌难以辨认，但毫无疑问，这些在废墟中进行着群体梦游的人们，就是来到这片游乐园的游客。他们就像幽灵一样，忘记了自己的过去，永远地被困在这里。）

CommanderI've found it at last...找到了……

FlorenceDear guests! Thank you for waiting! And now, our next attraction—"Sweet Startling Night"!!各位游客！久等了，现在在你们眼前的是——“甜蜜惊魂夜”！！

(Florence's infectiously enthusiastic voice spreads through the air, and these aimless wanderers look like they've received some kind of command, because they all slowly gather in the building behind Florence.)（芙洛伦充满感染力的话语突然响起，这些漫无目的行进的人们，突然之间像是得到了什么指示一样，逐渐汇聚到了芙洛伦身后的建筑上。）

(It is a building that is neither scary nor filled with the park spirit. All it has are discolored walls and a metal plaque above its entrance that looks like it's going to fall off at any moment.)（那是一座既不恐怖，也毫无游乐园气氛的建筑，有的只是斑驳的墙壁，上面还挂着摇摇欲坠的金属板。）

(Meanwhile, Florence is happily explaining the building while these guests who are prepared to enter it eagerly play with the park's attractions.)（而对着这座建筑欢快地解说着的芙洛伦，还有那些正准备前往游玩的游客们，就这样其乐融融地玩着游乐园的游戏。）

(—Over and over again. The ride never ends.)（——循环往复，无休止地。）

FlorenceNow then, since time is tight, let's hurry up and—那么，时间紧迫，我们就赶快——

CommanderI'm out.我退出。

FlorenceHm?哎呀？

(Countless vacant eyes turn to look at me, just like they did to Mia when she tried to stop the other guests from boarding the roller coaster.)（就像是最初看到米娅阻碍游客登上过山车一样，无数双空洞的眼睛一齐看向我。）

(Meanwhile, these guests come to a halt as well.)（而这些游客脚下的步伐，也就此停了下来。）

(I can hear them whispering to each other.)（我听到他们正在交头接耳地说着什么。）

Florence...Well, there's nothing for it.……真没办法。

FlorenceYou do realize that even if it's you, you'll have to be punished for interfering with the games, right, Commander?即便是指挥官，阻碍游玩的话，也是会遭到惩罚的哦？

(As Florence says this, she gives me a meaningful look. I believe I can understand what she's trying to tell me—"Keep talking.")（芙洛伦嘴上说着这样的话，却用意味深长的眼神看着我。我认为自己看懂了她的意思——“说下去。”）

CommanderYou know, I just thought of something very interesting all of a sudden.你知道吗，我突然想起来一件有意思的事。

CommanderWhen you're walking on the street and see many people looking at the sky, what would you do?当你走在街上，看到许多人抬头望天，你会怎么做？

FlorenceLook up and see what's in the sky?看看天上有什么？

CommanderEven if there's nothing there, there is a subconscious peer pressure effect generated by this collective behavior that will make you think something is there.即便那里什么都没有，但集体行为的存在却会让你觉得那里一定有什么。

CommanderAt moments like this, adding in a tiny little variable can fool your brain into thinking there actually IS something in the sky, even make you believe fervently in some nonexistent miracle.而这时，只要加入一些小小的变量，就可以让你的大脑真的看到天空中，那根本不存在的神迹，甚至深信不疑。

FlorenceHahaha... Well, that's quite interesting.哈哈哈……这还真是很有趣呢。

CommanderAs a medical Doll, you should understand this phenomenon better than an amateur like me, right? I believe it's called "collective hallucination".医疗人形应该比我这个外行人还要更了解吧？——“集体幻觉”。

Nameless GuestH-hallucination?幻……幻觉……？

Nameless GuestW-what does that mean?这是……什么意思？

CommanderIt means the entire amusement park is nothing but a man-made hallucination. To others, you probably just appear like a bunch of lunatics riding a rust bucket amidst tumbled ruins.意思就是这座游乐园全部都是人为构造的幻觉。在别人看来，你们或许只是一群在废墟上一边骑着生锈的铁桶一边尖叫的疯子。

Commander...Alright, up until just now, I was part of these "lunatics", but fortunately nobody came.……好吧，就在刚刚，这群“疯子”里也包括我，好在这里真的没什么人来。

Nameless Guest...So we're all seeing the same thing? Even communicating with each other without any impediment? Is... is that even possible?……所有人都看到同样的幻觉？甚至能够毫无障碍地沟通？这……可能做到吗？

CommanderWhat do you think, Miss Medical Doll?你觉得呢，优秀的医疗人形小姐？

FlorenceWho knows... But perhaps I could do it?谁知道呢……不过，或许我可以做到吧？

CommanderHave some faith in yourself. You already did.自信点，你已经做到了。

CommanderThe critical variable in pulling off a collective hallucination might be anxiety and stress, or the rate of spread achievable in an enclosed area.完成集体幻觉的重要变量，或许是焦虑与压力，也可能是封闭环境所导致的传播速度。

CommanderYou, on the other hand, probably used something that was quicker and more convenient—drugs.但你用的应该是更加方便快捷的——药物。

CommanderThis is the "poison" that you control.这也是芙洛伦所掌握的——“毒”的部分。

FlorenceFufufu... It feels like you're putting me on trial... How exciting.呼呼呼……完全把我当犯人来审了……还真有些兴奋呢。

CommanderYou should know about "Eutis" better than me.“厄狄斯”，你应该比我更熟悉。

FlorenceI just knew you were familiar with that drug too. But unfortunately, not even I could get that much Erdis. After all, I'm just a frail and weak medical Doll, and I definitely wouldn't be able to kidnap all these people.果然，指挥官你也知道这种药品呢。但是很遗憾，就算是我，也没办法搞来那么多厄狄斯，毕竟我只是一个弱小的医疗人形，更不可能绑架这么多人到这里。

CommanderYou probably couldn't get Erdis directly, but for something else, it might be possible.厄狄斯是不可能，但如果是另一种东西的话，那可就不一定了。

(If Nikketa's intel is correct...)（如果妮基塔的情报无误的话……）

CommanderMangi Security was escorting a shipment of special cargo, codenamed "Blackcurrant".曼尼安保在运送一种特殊的货物——“黑醋栗”。

FlorenceThey have completely different names. What even is the connection between them?名字都不同的东西，它们之间有什么关系吗？

CommanderMost of the "Blackcurrant" shipment was just ordinary canned goods, but according to the intel I received, a large portion of the cargo loads Mangi Security was transporting to the contamination zones contained the contraband drug "Eutis".大部分“黑醋栗”都只是普通的罐头，但根据我得到的情报，曼尼安保运往污染区的相当一部分货品，藏有违禁品“厄狄斯”。

Nameless GuestMangi Security... why does that name...曼尼安保……这个名字……

Nameless GuestBlackcurrant... transport...“黑醋栗”……运输……

(Due to the effect of the drugs and their hallucinations, the guests don't quite seem to understand the meaning of those words, but their unconscious responses make these terms feel familiar to them.)（尽管因为药物与幻觉的作用，这些游客似乎并不能完全理解这个词的含义，但潜意识所带来的反应，却让游客们对这个词汇表现出了熟悉。）

(This reaction perfectly validates my guess.)（而这样的反应，恰好印证了我的猜想。）

CommanderAnd as it turns out, every single guest here besides you and me just so happens to be Mangi Security transport personnel.巧的是，游乐园里的这些游客，除了我和你之外，偏偏全部都是曼尼安保的运输队员。

CommanderOne could say that it was them who brought a full load of "Blackcurrant" all the way over here to supply both the guests and Erdis for you.可以说，是他们亲自携带了满满的“黑醋栗”，长途跋涉地来到了这里，为你提供了游客和厄狄斯。

CommanderAnd it was you who hijacked their truck right here and used the contraband they were transporting to engineer a collective hallucination, forcing them to go through one game after another.而你，就是在这里，劫持了运输车，并用他们所运输的违禁品，制造了一场集体幻觉，强迫他们进行着一轮又一轮的游戏。

(So the events that she was forcing them to roleplay and relive in that haunted house might have been the leadup to the truck hijack.)（所以，恐怖屋中，一次又一次让她们扮演并重温的事件，很可能就是她们被劫持前所发生的事情。）

Mireille?That's strange, why are we here...奇怪，怎么到这里来了……

Pauline?You idiot, where did you get your license? At this rate, we won't reach LVI-14 even if we drive through the night!蠢货，你怎么开的车啊？照这样下去，再开三天三夜我们都到不了LVI-14！

Pauline?How could you even handle all those transport runs with such crappy skills? If you tried that shit in the contamination zone, they'd sue your pants off.你这种水平也能执行几百次运输任务吗？你这种在污染区送快递都会被投诉到失业。

Mireille?Ahhh, shut the hell up, I'm checking the route now.啊啊，烦死了，你先给我闭嘴，我在检查运输路线。

Mireille?Dammit, what's going on... Who changed the route, and when?可恶，怎么回事……运输路线什么时候被篡改了。

Pauline?Do you know how many shipments we've lost already? If we fuck this run up, we're all going down together!你知不知道咱们这都丢了多少货了，这次再搞不好，咱们大家都得一起完蛋！

Mireille?God dammit, who messed with the vehicle autonav?! The route's been messed up ever since we left the warehouse.该死，谁动了车上的自动导航了！！从上一个仓库出来，运输路线就是错的。

Pauline?Bloody hell! Who else would touch it besides you?!见鬼了，除了你还有谁会去动这东西啊！

Esme?It... it's my fault... I'm sorry... I messed up, I messed everything up...是……是我的错……对不起……是我不好，我把什么都搞砸了……

Pauline?Esme? Why is it you? What are you doing here?!埃斯梅？怎么是你？你怎么在这？！

CommanderNo wonder they were so scared. After all, moving a "Blackcurrant" shipment of that scale was not an ordinary assignment.难怪他们会这么害怕，毕竟，这种规模的“黑醋栗”可不是一般的运输任务啊。

CommanderIn addition, they were already panicking from messing up the assignment. Combined with the large dose of Erdis you gave them, it's no wonder they became putty in your hands.而搞砸了这场任务的她们，原本就已经处在惊慌失措中，又被你灌入了大量的厄狄斯，恐怕很快就会变得任由你摆布。

FlorenceEven if you're correct about your observations, that's nothing but a sensible-sounding supposition, Commander.就算你说的都对，指挥官，但这也只是看上去说得通而已。

FlorencePerhaps it was the Mangi Security people dipping into their own product after learning how valuable this shipment was. But then they ended up getting stuck here in a hell of their own making.或许是这些曼尼安保的人监守自盗，得知了自己这次运输任务的价值后，自己使用了运输的厄狄斯，结果却被困在这里，自作自受罢了。

FlorenceIn other words, all this was nothing more than the result of their own greed, which coincidentally happened to turn into the collective hallucination you were talking about. That sounds like quite a miracle, don't you think?也就是说，这是一场因为贪心所造成的事故，巧合之下，形成了你所说的“群体幻觉”，这很难不说是一种奇迹了。

CommanderWhat you say makes sense too, and "losing the shipment" might be nothing more than wordplay to evade responsibility for their actions.你说的也有道理，所谓的弄丢，或许根本只是这些人脱罪的说辞。

CommanderBut that's just how lies are. To deceive others, one must first deceive themselves.但谎话有时就是这样，你总得先骗过自己，才能骗得过别人。

CommanderAlso, the symptoms of these people don't look like those of Erdis users, even if they are very close.这些人的症状，并不是直接使用厄狄斯的症状。尽管非常接近。

CommanderApart from the hallucinations and severe cognitive impairment, there are also signs of memory loss, poor awareness of time and location, visual and auditory impairment, and other major symptoms. All of these are very rare in Erdis-related reports.除了幻觉、严重的认知障碍之外，还存在着失忆、时空判定模糊，视觉障碍等严重的症状。这在之前的“厄狄斯”相关报告中十分少见。

CommanderAmong all of them, you are the only one with the ability to improve on Erdis.这里所有人中，只有你具备将厄狄斯进一步改进的能力。

CommanderAlso, you aren't beholden to Mangi Security, you possess pharmaceutical skills, and you even served as the park manager to keep up the hallucination.不仅如此，不属于曼尼安保、有着药物才能、甚至还能作为乐园的管理者，维持着幻觉的人，都是你。

FlorenceMe? Hahahahaha, Commander, you seem to have forgotten something. I have no reason to do all this.我吗？哈哈哈哈哈，指挥官，你好像忘记了，我完全没有做这种事的理由嘛。

(Florence suddenly laughs, and there is a hint of excitement in her eyes. Exasperation fills my heart; it seems she's completely lost in her role.)（芙洛伦突然笑了起来，眼神中也带上了些许兴奋。我感到一丝无奈——看来她已经完全沉迷其中了。）

CommanderOr rather, that's what makes me even more certain that it's you. After all, only you would do this sort of thing, right?不如说，正是因为这一点，才让我更加确定了是你。只有你会做这种事吧？

CommanderOrchestrating all this simply and purely because it was fun, in search of a thrill.很简单，单纯地为了好玩，为了追求刺激。

FlorenceOf course. Seeking thrills is my core directive. But I'm not that bad, am I?当然，刺激是我的第一要务。但我也没到这种程度吧？

(While everything she says is designed to avoid accountability for her actions, her expressions and movements are getting bolder and bolder, to the point where I suspect she's trying to provoke me.)（尽管言语中满是为自己开脱的话，但她的表情和动作都愈发大胆，甚至于让我感觉到了一丝挑衅的意味。）

CommanderIt's hard to say.这可不好说。

(Florence loves excitement and thrills, but that's not the main problem now.)（芙洛伦是否真正如此热爱刺激，并不是现在最重要的问题。）

(In order to deal with this incident, I need to start by dealing with her.)（无论如何，要解决这件事，我都必须要先解决她。）

CommanderAll you need to know is that I and everyone here will no longer be playing this game with you.你只需要知道，不仅是我，这里所有人，都不会再继续在这里陪你玩了。

(Florence glances at the blank-eyed visitors. Then she gestures grandly, and several robots move up to surround us.)（芙洛伦看了一眼还在茫然的人们，紧接着，她有些夸张地挥了挥手，数只机器人围了上来。）

FlorenceIs that so? What a shame, but I can't let the game end yet. You and the others will need to keep us company for a while, Commander.是吗？很遗憾，现在还不能结束哦。指挥官，还有大家，都要再陪我玩一会才行了。

Phantom Funland Revelation 幻乐见真

FlorenceEeeek!呀啊——！

FlorenceI lost...我输了……

(Florence slumps to the ground, her body contorted from the excessively difficult pose she's trying to take.)（芙洛伦无力地倒在地上，身体呈现出一种由于难度过高而略显扭曲的姿势。）

(She lifts her head in excitement, her cheeks flushed in a suspicious red.)（她兴奋地抬起头，脸上出现了两团可疑的红晕。）

FlorenceCongratulations on completing Thriller Wonderland, Commander!恭喜指挥官，心跳游乐园全游乐设施大通关！

CommanderPlaytime at the pretend park is over. You can stop talking like that now.过家家的游乐园已经结束了，你的说话方式，也可以适可而止了。

FlorenceAwww, don't be so hasty, Commander. Why not finish the punishment round before claiming your grand prize?指挥官还是这么心急，在选择你的最终奖励前，先完成惩罚环节吧？

FlorenceHowever, this time, I'm the one who'll be getting punished.不过，这次要接受惩罚的——是我。

(The robots silently approach me, offering mysterious devices and syringes loaded with liquids in various colors for me to choose from.)（机械体悄悄来到我身边，递上了一些我几乎不认识的神秘器械，除此之外，还有各种颜色的药剂和注射器可供选择。）

CommanderWhat are these?什么东西？

(I randomly pick up a syringe.)（我随手拿起一支注射器。）

FlorenceAh... I can't believe you picked that, Commander. Your boldness is so surprising.啊……指挥官，竟然选了那个，还真是大胆，真让我意外。

FlorenceStill, it's also very exciting.不过，这样也很刺激就是了。

Commander...……

(I immediately put the syringe back down.)（我马上就把注射器放了回去。）

(I pick up the stamp book. Outside the hallucination, it's nothing more than a tattered stamp book with a distinctly retro feel to it. Clearly, it came from the same era as this abandoned amusement park.)（我拿起集章册，脱离了幻觉的控制后，那只是一本稍显破旧的集章册，还带着明显的年代感，很明显，和这个废弃的乐园是同一个年代的东西。）

(There is a brand new stamp on the final page, as though to remind me that everything is over.)（最后一页上，一个崭新的印章痕迹印在那里，似乎在提醒着我，一切都已经结束。）

Prize Exchange 奖品兑换

FlorenceSo, what kind of prize do you want after completing the game?那么，指挥官通关后，想要什么奖励呢？

(Florence still seems to be immersed in her park manager role, which comes off as a little bizarre.)（看着芙洛伦还在一本正经地沉浸在游乐园的设定中，这画面实在有些怪异。）

(I hand the stamp book over to her.)（我随手将集章册递给芙洛伦。）

CommanderI want you and all the people who died in the hallucination.包括你，还有那些在幻觉中已经死亡的人。

(Florence furrows her brow. She seems to be thinking.)（芙洛伦微微皱了一下眉，似乎在思考。）

CommanderAfter all, this IS a grand prize.毕竟，这样才算得上大奖。

FlorenceUnfortunately, you can only pick one of them.很遗憾，你只能带走一样。

FlorenceYou may have beaten me, but their respective hallucinations are still going on.虽然你战胜了我，但其他人的幻觉还在继续。

FlorenceEven if they realize it's a hallucination, they'll soon forget about it. In their eyes, the world is still a dreamlike amusement park of fantasies.这些人即便知道了这是幻觉，很快也会忘记这件事，她们眼中所看到的世界，仍旧是梦幻的、充满幻想的游乐园。

CommanderThere's a fine line between "poison" and "medicine". After hearing what Pauline said, I'm wondering exactly which part of what you provided was "poison" and which part was "medicine".听了珀琳的话之后，我一直在想，到底你所提供的，哪些部分是“毒”，哪些部分才是真正的“药”。

(And my guess is that she hasn't dosed them with the improved Erdis for a long time now. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many guests going crazy.)（而现在看来，恐怕她已经很久没有给这些人补充过改良厄狄斯了，否则的话，也不会有这么多的游客变得疯狂。）

(My recovery—that was probably because of Florence's somewhat theatrical treatment.)（我的痊愈——恐怕是因为芙洛伦看上去有些夸张的治疗。）

(It wasn't just me; Pauline, Esme, Mireille, and the others—everyone who claimed a reward regained some of their clarity.)（不仅是我，还有珀琳、埃斯梅、米雷耶等，每个获得了奖励的人，都会更加清醒一些。）

(If all she wanted was to trap them here forever, then tending to their bodies and minds would be important, but she'd also have to top up the improved Erdis.)（如果她只是想让这里的人永远留在这里，抚慰她们的糟糕的身体和精神固然重要，但也应该适时补充改良厄狄斯。）

(But the truth is, everyone would have steadily learned the truth during the games—even a case like Pauline's. What's happening now is not normal.)（但事实却是，所有人的情报都会在游玩中累积，甚至出现了珀琳这样的情况，这并不正常。）

(And besides—)（更何况——）

CommanderThanks to you, my head is fully clear now, and I remember exactly what kind of person you are.托你的福，我现在脑子清醒得不得了，完全想起了你是怎样的人。

CommanderYou were the one who treated me, right?是你将我治愈的，对吧？

(I watch Florence's reaction as I question her.)（我一边询问，一边观察着芙洛伦的反应。）

FlorenceTreated you? The reward was just to top off your dose of the improved Erdis. Still, there are always those who recover quickly.治愈？奖励是用来给你们补充改良后厄狄斯的，不过，总有那么几个恢复得很快罢了。

(She's clearly lying. The improved Erdis acted as a "poison", but after receiving their rewards, the guests' minds became clearer, as though they had taken "medicine".)（毫无疑问，这是谎言。改良厄狄斯是“毒”，但得到奖励后，游客却像是得到了“药”一样，头脑变得清醒。）

(But if she really was the owner of this park and the architect of this entire scenario, then why would she need to lie about this?)（但如果她真的是乐园的所有者，做出这一切事情的人，有必要在这种事情上说谎吗？）

(Truth be told, she's done far too many things that weren't strictly necessary.)（不必要的事情，她做的实在是太多了。）

Commander...I see. Looks like things are as I guessed.……原来如此，看来和我猜的一样。

(Florence was probably treating us in secret to avoid someone's eyes, and this person is probably the mastermind behind all this.)（芙洛伦的治疗行为，很可能是在躲着某个人偷偷进行的。而这个人，很大概率是这起事件的始作俑者。）

(I look around and count the number of people again.)（我环顾四周，再次检查这里的人数。）

(Before playing "Sweet Startling Night", there were 12 guests apart from Florence and me.)（在游玩“甜蜜惊魂夜”之前，除去我和芙洛伦，游客还剩下12个人。）

(After that, Esme, Mireille, and Pauline received punishment, so there should only be 9 people left.)（而接下来，就是埃斯梅、米雷耶、珀琳陆续遭到处罚，现在的游客中，应该还剩下9个人才对。）

CommanderBut there's one more.多了一个。

(Because no matter how many times I count the group, there are 10 people here now.)（因为无论怎么数，现在聚在这里的人，都是10个人。）

CommanderDid any new players join us?在我游玩时，有新的游客加入吗？

FlorenceI wouldn't have been able to stay with you if there had been, right? After all, I'd have to guide the new additions around.有的话，我就不能接待指挥官了吧？毕竟要引导新加入的游客才行。

(I nod. Florence has no reason to lie about this.)（我点了点头，芙洛伦没必要在这件事上说谎。）

(In that case, the only explanation is "the dead coming back to life".)（既然如此，那就只有“死者复生”这一条路了。）

CommanderWhere are the people who died in the game?在游玩中丧命的人在哪？

FlorenceYou've already seen them, Commander, albeit through a veil.指挥官，你见过她们哦，虽然只是隔着帘子看了一眼。

(She must be talking about that makeshift clinic where Florence was performing her "surgery" on me—she'd even blocked my line of sight back then.)（那就是在那间做过“手术”的诊疗室了——当时芙洛伦甚至还挡住了我的视线。）

CommanderAre they still alive?她们还活着吗？

FlorenceThey're mentally scarred, but otherwise fine.虽然“精神”受了伤，但身体并无大碍。

FlorenceHowever, their brains still think they're dead, even though it's just a hallucination, so they won't wake up for a long time.不过，即便身处幻觉中，她们的大脑仍旧会认为她们已经死了。所以，很长一段时间内，都是无法醒来的。

CommanderWhich means they aren't really dead, is that right?这就是没有真正死去的意思，对吧？

(Mia, Fleur, Esme, Mireille, and Pauline.)（米娅、芙勒、埃斯梅、米雷耶、珀琳。）

(After I find them, I see all five of them have received treatment from Florence, and they're slowly recovering from the symptoms.)（在我到来后，所有的受害者，一共有五名，全部都是接受了芙洛伦治疗，并且从症状中逐渐恢复的人。）

(I remember what Pauline said about people only starting to die on the rides after a certain point.)（我想起了珀琳所说的，在某一个时间节点，才开始有人在设施上丧命。）

CommanderDid anyone else "die" before this?在这些人之前，还有人因此而死吗？

(Florence shakes her head.)（芙洛伦摇了摇头。）

CommanderThat narrows things down.范围缩小了不少啊。

CommanderI think I know who it is.我大概知道是谁了。

(Only one person could have done this.)（只有一个人能做到这件事。）

Dark Dreams, Dark Hearts 邪心筑梦

FlorenceOh, you're awake? What a surprise.哎呀，你醒着？还真是惊喜。

(It's treatment time again. Florence wheels out the usual paraphernalia and stands by the side of the girl's bed.)（又是例行治疗的时间，芙洛伦带着和往常同样的医疗器械，来到了少女身边。）

GirlDo I really not wake up that often?我清醒的样子也没那么难得吧？

FlorenceOf course. Also, judging from your vital signs... It seems you didn't consume any Erdis today.当然难得了。而且，你的身体……今天似乎并没有服用过厄狄斯。

(Florence performs a routine examination of the girl and reads off her parameters.)（芙洛伦习惯性地对少女的身体状况进行了检测，随即报出了她的数值。）

FlorenceIt must have been hard for you to resist the urge, right?忍得很辛苦吧？

(As Florence prepares to administer the first of the treatments, the girl shakes her head in silence.)（芙洛伦开始配药，少女却只是摇了摇头。）

GirlHard? It must be harder for you, isn't it , Florence? After all, you've been caring for me for so long, and yet my body remains like this.辛苦吗？还是芙洛伦更辛苦吧，你治疗了我这么久，我的身体却还是这样。

FlorenceThe less you think about that, the easier things will be for me.你少想点这些，才是最给我省事的。

FlorenceI can heal your body. In fact, I've cured a lot of exotic illnesses in the past.我能治好你的身体，被我治好的疑难杂症可不少。

GirlBut there are exceptions to everything, aren't there?凡事都有个例外，不是吗？

GirlRather than waste your time on someone beyond help like me, why not use your efforts on something else?与其为我这样已经没救了的人忙前忙后，不如用这份精力做点别的。

FlorenceYou do realize I'm not doing this for free, right? I'm hardly a philanthropist.我不是平白在给你打工哦？我可不是慈善家。

Girl...Are you talking about how I helped repair your frame?……你说的是那件事吗，我帮你修复好了素体？

GirlHahaha, well, aren't you a grateful Doll. I did it because it was convenient and it fell within my field of specialty.哈哈哈，你是这么懂得感恩的人形吗？我那天也不过是顺手，刚好专业对口而已。

FlorenceYou've been helping to care for my frame all this time, right? Then I might as well help you care for your body too.你不是一直以来都帮我维护保养着素体嘛，那我也顺手维护一下你的健康吧。

FlorenceAnd besides, I'm curious about diseases and symptoms I haven't seen before.而且，没见过的病症，我刚好很有兴趣。

(And so, this human and Doll who would normally have nothing to do with each other ended up coexisting briefly due to their specialties both lining up.)（明明是看上去和所谓的互相帮助毫无关系的人与人形，却基于自己的专业与巧合，就这样形成了短暂的依存关系。）

GirlHahaha, that's true.哈哈哈，好像也是呢。

(After Florence checks her syringe, she pumps the plunger to get the air bubbles out, flicks it to remove any stray droplets, and drives the sharp needle into the girl's skin.（芙洛伦检查好注射器后，轻弹了一下，确认空气排空后，尖锐的针头没入了少女的肌肤。）

Girl...Florence, would you like to go with me? To an amusement park, I mean.……芙洛伦，你想和我一起去吗？游乐园。

Florence...?……？

(This is the first time she's asked Florence this question and it catches her off guard. Florence ponders what it could mean, whether for good or ill.)（这还是她第一次这样问芙洛伦，芙洛伦突然有些迟疑了，她正在思考这句话的含义，究竟是好一些的那个，还是糟一些的那个。）

(The girl grabs Florence's hand mid-injection.)（少女抓住了芙洛伦正在进行注射的手。）

FlorenceYou know I love amusement parks.你知道的，我最喜欢游乐园了。

Girl...Oh yes. I almost forgot—you know them better than I do. I can't live without you.……对啊。我差点忘了，你比我更熟悉游乐园，我真的少不了你呢。

FlorenceOnce you make a full recovery, I'll take you to one.等你完全康复后，我就和你一起去。

Girl...You're lying.……说谎。

GirlYou're lying to me, aren't you?你在骗我，对吧？

GirlBut it's alright. Even if you're always lying to me, I'll always welcome you to my park.不过没关系，就算芙洛伦总是骗我，我也愿意让芙洛伦来到我的游乐园。

GirlFlorence, I'll be bringing you to my amusement park soon.芙洛伦，很快的，我很快就会带你一起去游乐园了。

(Something's wrong.)（奇怪。）

(A strange feeling suddenly rises up from the depths of Florence's neural cloud and spreads through the rest of her body.)（一种怪异的感觉，突然从芙洛伦的核心深处向外蔓延扩散了起来。）

(This should be an ordinary conversation, but in that instant, Florence finds that she is frozen solid.)（明明只是普通的对话，但这一瞬间，芙洛伦却僵住了。）

(No, she's not frozen. Rather, she can't move. It's as though Florence has broken down, and no matter how hard she tries, that hand of hers is frozen halfway through depressing the plunger of her syringe.)（不，那并不是僵住，而是无法动弹了，芙洛伦就像是故障了一样，无论她做怎样的努力，那只正在推进注射的手指，都无法再移动分毫了。）

Florence?!？！

GirlAnd it won't be just you. Many, many more people will come to my amusement park. Don't worry, I'll play with all of you.不仅是你，还有许多人，都会到我的乐园来玩的，不用担心，我也会和你们一起玩的。

FlorenceYour... amuse... ment... park...你……的……乐……园……

(It isn't just her fingers either. It is then that Florence realizes that every single part of her has been forced to halt. She can't even speak normally.)（不止是手指，芙洛伦这时才意识到，自己浑身上下，每一个模块几乎都像是被强行停止了一样，无法动弹，就连一句正常的话都无法说出口。）

GirlThat's right, mine! MY amusement park!没错，正是我的！我的乐园！

FlorenceWhat... have... you... done... to... me...你……做了……什……么……

(The girl ignores Florence's choppy speech, and her pretty face twists up.)（芙洛伦断断续续的话语被少女所无视，少女清秀的面庞因为笑容变得扭曲。）

GirlI guarantee that this will be the most interesting and exciting amusement park in the world. Let's enjoy it together, shall we?我保证，这是世界上最刺激、最有趣的游乐园。让我们一起，好好享受这样的游戏吧？

(Even though she's never actually been to an amusement park before, her delusions drive her to utter such crazy things.)（明明自己从未真正去过一次游乐园，但少女却仅凭妄想，就说出了这样狂妄的话。）

GirlI guarantee you'll be satisfied with your experience. After all, we're the same, you and I. Isn't that right, Florence?我保证，你也会满意的，毕竟你和我是同一种人，我们是一样的，对吧，芙洛伦？

Florence...……

(With her visual modules shut down, Florence's eyes have gone glassy and dull, like she's shut down.)（因为视觉模块停止了工作，芙洛伦露出有些呆滞的眼神，看上去就像是宕机了一样。）

GirlOh my, pardon me. You may speak. I permit it.哎呀，抱歉，你可以说话，我准许了。

(In contrast to her haughty tone, the girl struggles to bring out her computer from beside her. After plugging it into one of Florence's access ports, she begins entering commands.)（和居高临下的话语不同，少女艰难到有些狼狈地拿出身旁的电脑，她接入芙洛伦的接口后，马上便开始了调试。）

FlorenceWhat... did... you... do...你……做了……什么……

(Slowly, Florence resumes normal functioning.)（断断续续地，芙洛伦正在逐渐恢复正常的状态。）

GirlThere are back doors to everything, don't you know?任何事情都有后门，不是吗？

GirlDid you like the malicious code I wrote just for you? All your permissions and access now belong to me.喜欢我精心为你准备的恶意代码吗？你的权限归属，就先改成我了哦。

GirlHonestly, did you not even suspect me for a moment, even after I helped maintain you for so long?真是的，帮你维护了这么久的素体，你一点都不怀疑我吗？

GirlOr are you saying you're looking forward to what I'm about to do?还是说，你对我要做的事情也满怀期待？

(The girl gently pats Florence's cheek.)（少女轻拍着芙洛伦的脸颊。）

GirlNow then, the first thing you're going to do for me is improve Erdis. That should be easy given your skills. Now what should we call this new drug... How about "Euphoria"?那么，你首先要做的，就是帮我改良厄狄斯，以你的能力，这不难做到。我想想……这个新药，就叫作“游乐园”怎么样？

GirlAnd then we can have a good, long discussion about one of my favorite things—collective hallucinations.让我们好好讨论一下吧，我非常感兴趣的一件事——群体幻觉。

Florence...……

GirlThere'll be a shipment of product coming through here soon. This is our only chance.有批货会经过这里，这是我们唯一的机会。

FlorenceIf you insist on carrying out such a bold plan, I can't guarantee success.这么大胆的计划，如果你硬要做，我可保证不了顺利收场。

GirlYou do realize that telling me the odds of failure only excites me more, right?你知道说出计划的失败率只会让我更加兴奋吧？

GirlAnd besides, it's not like you can refuse my commands either, can you? Of course, I don't mind you spicing up your obedience with a little backtalk.更何况，现在的你，没办法违抗我的指令吧？当然，如果你只是想通过嘴硬来给我加点料的话，我倒是不讨厌。

GirlHowever, saying that isn't like you, is it? Do you really think things will go well for you if I die?不过，这话真是不像你的性格啊，你就这么盼着我死吗？你以为我死了你会有什么好下场吗？

GirlBang!bang！

(The girl mimes an explosion, but Florence is unmoved and unafraid.)（少女做出了一个夸张的动作来模拟爆炸，但芙洛伦却不为所动，似乎并未被吓到。）

FlorenceAre you interested in these people, or in their shipment?你是对这些人感兴趣，还是只是想要这批货？

GirlHehe... I wonder—哼哼……是哪种呢——

(The girl's fingers run over the surface of her portable terminal, and she can't help humming to herself as she sees those familiar faces.)（少女的手指在便携终端上滑过，看着上面那一张张熟悉的脸，不禁再次哼起了歌。）

GirlBoth, perhaps?或许两种都有吧？

GirlI know everyone on this transport run, they're perfect as "playmates"! Oh, how exciting.这次的运输任务都是老熟人呢，完全符合作为“玩伴”的条件！真是令人期待啊。

GirlThe trap is set, and the targets will be stopping at the ramp. We have a 90-second window to act, Florence.陷阱已经布下，目标即将在匝道处停靠，我们有90秒的窗口期，芙洛伦。

GirlI'll bait the enemy, so begin the operation!由我来诱敌，开始行动！

Dark Dreams, Dark Hearts 邪心筑梦

GirlHaha...哈哈……

GirlHahahahaha—!!哈哈哈哈哈——！！

Florence...……

GirlNot exciting enough? It was close, but we did it in the end, Florence.不刺激吗？芙洛伦，那么多次险情，但我们还是成功了。

GirlAnd now, everything is ready.这样，一切就都准备就绪了。

GirlThe new drug, the park, and the first batch of guests...新药，乐园，还有第一批游客们……

GirlWith these, Thriller Wonderland opens its doors!让心跳游乐园，就此开幕吧！

Final Guest 最后的游客

(We pass a rust-mottled roller coaster. The seats are shaky and look like they could fall off at any moment. It seems like it's been abandoned for a long time.)（废弃的过山车，因为生锈而变得斑驳，座椅看上去摇摇欲坠，似乎已经荒废了很久。）

Commander...Tsk.……啧。

(Sights like these are nothing unusual in the Yellow Zone.)（对于黄区来说，这并不是什么奇异的景致。）

(I look down and decide to start by dealing with the girl in front of me.)（我低下头，决定还是先把面前的少女处理一下。）

???Is... Is something wrong?有……有什么事情吗？

(The wind blows, causing the glass IV bottles above her to collide gently, like windchimes.)（风将少女身上悬吊着的大小吊瓶吹动，像是风铃一样，碰撞在一起叮当作响。）

(A look of panic crosses the face of the girl in the wheelchair, like she's been startled. The mysterious devices on her begin beeping alerts in response to her emotional fluctuations.)（仿佛是被吓到了一样，轮椅上的少女，看上去有些惶恐，伴随着她的情绪波动，她身上所佩戴的不知名设备，也发出了嘀嘀的警报声。）

CommanderOh come on, I'm not THAT scary, am I...我讲话也没那么吓人吧……

CommanderAt the very least, I'm practically a saint compared to what you've done here...至少，以你的所作所为来看，我简直温柔得有些可怕了。

???What... what's that supposed to mean...这……这是什么意思……

???What... what you said just now... what's that supposed to mean... So this is all a hallucination? But I can still see the amusement park...那个……你刚才说的话……到底是什么意思……这里都是幻觉？可我看到的，分明还是游乐园的样子啊……

CommanderI meant exactly what I said. You were the one who trapped all these people in this abandoned amusement park, right, Esme?字面意思，把这些人，关在这片废弃游乐园的，就是你吧，埃斯梅？

Esme?Esme...?埃斯梅……？

(She tilts her head. Apparently, she does not remember that name.)（她歪了歪头，看上去对这个名字毫无印象。）

(Apart from the others who noticed something was amiss, most people wouldn't even remember having ridden the attractions multiple times. In that respect, there is nothing wrong at all with her response.)（除了个别几个人察觉到了异常外，大多数人，甚至连重复游玩过设施都不会记得，从这一点来说，她的反应无可挑剔。）

Esme?While I don't know what you're talking about... If we don't continue, everyone will...虽然不知道你在说什么……但是，再不快点继续游玩的话，大家都会……

(What happens if we go on?)（如果再继续下去呢？）

CommanderThat's not going to happen, because I've caught the owner of the amusement park.不会的，因为乐园的主人，已经被我抓住了。

Esme?Caught? Who...抓住了？是谁……

(I approach Esme, then grab the handles of her wheelchair and gently push her.)（我走近埃斯梅，将手放到了她的轮椅背上，轻轻推动着她。）

Esme?H-hey! W-where are we going?!诶……？诶诶？要……要去哪里？！

Esme?Miss Manager—!管理员小姐——！

(She calls for Florence, who follows us without hesitation.)（她呼唤着芙洛伦，芙洛伦没有犹豫，便跟了上来。）

CommanderThe owner of the amusement park is Esme. Which is to say, you. Am I correct?乐园的主人，是埃斯梅，也就是你。没错吧？

Esme?I don't know what you're talking about...我不知道你在说什么……

CommanderThen let's start with what makes you suspicious, shall we?那就先从埃斯梅的疑点开始说吧？

CommanderAmong the five "dead" people, you were the last to enter the park.死去的五个人里，埃斯梅，你好像是最后一个加入乐园的啊。

Frightened WomanEsme... How many times have we gone on this ride now?埃斯梅……你告诉我，这是我们第几次玩这台游乐设施了？

EsmeEr... This ought to be our first time here, right? What are you talking about, we only just came here...不……不是第一次吗？你在说什么啊，我们才刚来这座游乐园啊……

Frightened WomanNo! Noooo! This definitely isn't our first time here!不对！！不对！！这绝对不是第一次！！

(The frightened woman grows more afraid after that. Her grip tightens unconsciously, causing Esme to groan in pain as she starts having trouble breathing.)（惊恐的女性闻言后更加激动了，她手上的力道不自觉加深着，让呼吸困难的埃斯梅再次发出了痛苦的声音。）

EsmeAh, let... let go of me, I can't breathe...那个，你……你先放开我，我不能呼吸了……

Frightened Woman...Ah. Right, right, this is, this is only your second time on the roller coaster.……啊。对，你，你才第二次玩这个过山车。

???Mireille, you knew Fleur's name as well, right? It's just a name, it doesn't mean anything.米雷耶，你也知道芙勒的名字，不是吗？只是一个名字，不能说明什么。

MireilleBut that's... That's because she said my name first, so I asked her name!那是因为……她先说出了我的名字，所以我也问了她的名字！

MireilleShe said the same thing as Mia, but she didn't go crazy like Mia.她和米娅，说了一样的话，只不过，她没有像米娅那样发狂而已。

PaulineDon't worry too much. I've been on this roller coaster about a dozen times, and I'm still sitting here perfectly fine.不用太担心，我大概已经玩了十几次这台过山车了，还是好好地坐在这里。

CommanderA dozen times?!十几次？！

CommanderEveryone's been on the rides more than twice, but this was only your second time.除了你是第二次游玩，其他人都进行了两次以上的游玩。

Esme?That... definitely happened to Miss Esme.埃斯梅小姐……的确是这样。

CommanderIn other words, not long after you joined, all the people who were starting to recover began dying on the rides, one after another.也就是说，在你加入游玩后不久，所有逐渐恢复的人都一个接一个地在设施上丧命。

CommanderLike Pauline said, this slaughter wasn't a risk that came paired with a reward. Quite the opposite, in fact—it was a form of cruel revenge. You couldn't bear to see anyone recovering, so you decided to join the game in person and kill everyone that Florence managed to cure.这种杀戮，并不是珀琳所说的，与“奖励”相称的危险。恰恰相反，这是一种凶狠的报复，你无法容忍有人正在逐渐恢复正常。所以亲自加入游戏，杀死了这些被芙洛伦治好的人。

FlorenceBut the others were suspicious too, right?但其他人也同样有嫌疑，不是吗？

CommanderOf course. But if it was them... or if it was you, you'd probably have made your move sooner.当然，但如果她们……或者你是凶手的话，早点动手的概率或许会更高一些。

Esme?Huh? But... Miss Esme died too, and she was killed by Miss Mireille.诶？可是……埃斯梅小姐也死了啊，而且还是被米雷耶小姐杀死的。

Esme?It... it's my fault... I'm sorry... I messed up, I messed everything up...是……是我的错……对不起……是我不好，我把什么都搞砸了……

Pauline?Esme? Why is it you? What are you doing here?!埃斯梅？怎么是你？你怎么在这？！

Mireille?You useless bitch! Stop causing trouble here already! Get the hell away from this shipment!没用的东西就别在这里添乱！离这批货远一点！！

Esme?It's my fault... I'm sorry... Please don't chase me away or kill me... Noooooo!!!是我不好……对不起……请不要赶我走，也不要杀我……不要！！！

CommanderYes, because she was the real "ghost" in the haunted house.是啊，因为她才是恐怖屋真正的“幽灵”。

CommanderShe should never have been on the Mangi truck.因为，她原本不该出现在曼尼安保的运输车上。

CommanderYet she was there, and she made the poor guests relive the events of the day they were kidnapped, over and over again.但她却出现了，还一遍又一遍，让这些可怜的游客，重复着自己被劫持的那一天，所发生的事情。

Esme?What does that mean?这是什么意思？

CommanderMireille and Pauline both thought that she shouldn't have been there. Why do you think that is?米雷耶和珀琳都认为她不该出现，你觉得会是什么原因？

Esme?Uh... There are too many reasons for that.诶……那可能的原因可太多了。

FlorenceBecause she's not from Mangi Security?因为她不是曼尼安保的人？

Esme?Hm, maybe...嗯，或许吧……

CommanderThat's not very likely. After the others regained their memory, every one of them began suspecting me, but none of them suspected Esme. The main reason why they suspected me was because we had no shared memories to prove my identity. That implies that Esme was present in their memories, which means she was definitely a Mangi Security employee. However, she was not part of the transport detail.可能性很低。因为当所有人恢复记忆后，几乎都在怀疑我，却没有人怀疑埃斯梅，而她们怀疑我的原因是，我们没有可以互相印证的记忆。这说明，至少，在她们的记忆中，多少是存在埃斯梅的，她的确是曼尼安保的员工。但很明显，并不是运输小队的。

FlorenceWhy is that?为什么？

CommanderDon't forget that during an emergency, having more people that you know around to help is a good thing. But Mireille utterly loathed her, to the point of saying how much she hated her.别忘了，紧急情况下，多个熟悉工作的人帮忙，明明是好事。但米雷耶却十分排斥厌恶她，甚至明确表示了厌恶她的原因。

CommanderNow this is just a guess, but I'm thinking that part of it was because Esme was not part of the transport team, so she couldn't help them out. The other part, what really set her off, might have been because... Esme was a serial Erdis thief.这只是我的猜测，一方面，是因为埃斯梅并不是运输小队的成员，所以帮不上忙。另一方面，她的厌恶，或许是因为埃斯梅……是个盗窃厄狄斯的惯犯。

Esme?Hehe... This isn't just a guess, it's an all-out fabrication, isn't it?呵呵……岂止是猜测，完全就是在胡说了吧？

(She laughs in her mocking tone, and the mask she was wearing begins to crack.)（她露出了有些轻蔑的笑声，此前的伪装，也就此逐步碎裂。）

CommanderA fabrication? It's true that Esme wasn't part of the transport detail, but she had another job.胡说？埃斯梅的工作的确不在运输小队中，她有其他的工作。

MiaHey! Don't listen to that Doll! She's the biggest liar of them all! Esme, you were a Doll engineer before, weren't you? Hurry up and think of a way to scrap her!喂，别听这个人形乱说，她才是最大的骗子！！埃斯梅，你之前不是人形工程师吗？快点想办法把她拆掉啊！

(Esme glances at Florence in a panic and then looks incredulously at herself.)（埃斯梅惊慌地看了一眼芙洛伦，又用难以置信的目光指了指自己。）

EsmeHuh? You... you mean me?啊？我……我吗？

CommanderAs a Mangi Security Doll engineer, she wouldn't need to accompany the transport detail.作为曼尼安保的人形工程师，她不需要跟随运输小队工作。

Esme?Even so... saying she's a thief is a bit too much...就算是这样……说她盗窃什么的也太过分了……

Esme?Well, maybe a Doll engineer couldn't help them out. Maybe that was why Mireille hated her?人形工程师的确帮不上忙吧，或许，米雷耶只是因为这个才厌恶她的。

CommanderHer? You're still not going to admit that you're Esme?“她”？你还不肯承认自己是埃斯梅吗？

CommanderAt the very least, it seems you've realized that Esme is the mastermind behind all this.至少，看来你也意识到了，埃斯梅是做出一切事情的元凶。

(I continue pushing her wheelchair to one of the most common sights in the wasteland—a cliff.)（我继续推着她的轮椅，而不远的前方，刚好是荒郊野外中，最不缺少的断崖。）

CommanderNext, I'm going to explain why you're the only one who could be Esme.接下来，就让我告诉你，为什么埃斯梅只能是你吧。

(I release my grip on the handles, causing Esme's wheelchair to roll straight forward.)（我悄悄松了手中的力道，埃斯梅的轮椅有些失控，直直地向前方冲去。）

(She exclaims in surprise, but no matter what she does, she can't control her body well. Meanwhile, the edge of the cliff is drawing closer and closer.)（她惊慌失措地叫出了声，但再怎么慌乱，她仍旧无法很好地操控自己的身体，与此同时，她与深渊的距离正在逐渐拉近。）

(While mobility aids like this are not hard to operate, there are many better options for moving around than this. Her body might be so weak that it can't utilize more agile methods like prosthetic limbs.)（尽管这种改良的辅助行进设备并不难以设置，但要想让人行走，比这个好用的工具还有很多，她的身体很可能已经脆弱到，根本无法适应例如义肢等更便捷的方式。）

Esme?W-wait, wait! Miss Florence!等，等等。芙、芙洛伦小姐！！！

(Her voice turns a little hoarse from her screaming, and I reach out just in time to bring the wheelchair under control. By the time she comes to a halt, she is less than half a meter from the edge. Her face is flushed red in panic, and her forehead is covered in beads of sweat.)（她呼救的声音因为急迫而显得有些嘶哑，我也适时地伸手将她的轮椅拉了回来。在我稳定住她时，她距离断崖只剩不到半米，她的脸颊已经因为紧张而变得潮红，额头上还有着少量的汗水流淌下来。）

FlorenceHehe... Oh, Commander, you're even more extreme than I am.哼哼……指挥官真是，比我还更加胡闹呢。

CommanderFrom what I can see, after discounting the guests from the hallucination, the only one who couldn't have taken part in a transport mission is you.现在我所看到的，剔除了幻觉之后的游客里，无法参加运输任务的人，只有你。

Esme?Wait, seriously, just because of that...喂，没搞错吧，只凭这个……

CommanderIt's true that Esme could have been anyone. But your body meant that you couldn't have been anyone but Esme.埃斯梅的确可以是任何人。但你的身体，让你除了埃斯梅之外，无法成为这场游戏里的任何人。

Esme...……

Esme(Whimper)呜……

(Esme looks like she's about to cry, but there's a hint of a smile on her face.)（埃斯梅的眼神和声音变得委屈起来，但嘴角却仍旧带着若隐若现的笑意。）

EsmeSorry, but after hearing what you said, I realized it too. It seems I really am Esme. However, I forgot everything that happened in the park, like you said.抱歉……听了你说的，我也察觉到了。似乎我真的是埃斯梅呢，不过，就像你说的那样，乐园中的一切，我很快就忘记了。

EsmePerhaps my brain damage got worse after "dying" and coming back?或许死而复生之后，我的脑损伤更严重了吧？

(Her face is innocent, with a friendly smile on it.)（她面容无辜，带着和善的笑容。）

EsmeEven if you were right about everything, that I'm Esme, that I'm severely crippled, and that I'm a Mangi Security Doll engineer... so what? You could also say that all the killing that occurred after I joined was entirely caused by Florence in order to frame me.就算你说的一切都对，我是埃斯梅，我有着严重的残疾，我是曼尼安保的人形工程师。那又怎么样呢，从我加入之后的杀戮，完全可以是芙洛伦所自导自演的，目的只是要在你面前陷害我。

EsmeThat way, she could just dump all the blame for her crimes committed in search of thrills at my feet while continuing to rub up against you.这样她就可以毫无负担地抛下自己因为追求刺激所犯下的错，继续和你甜甜蜜蜜地在一起。

CommanderSo, are you saying that she treated these people—treated me—but could only cover it up with lies, never able to tell the truth, that it all was an act?你的意思是，她治愈这些人，治愈我，却只能靠说谎将这个行为所掩盖，始终无法说出实情，这些全部是演技？

(I look at Florence. Strangely enough, she doesn't say anything.)（我看向芙洛伦，她一反常态地，没有说话。）

EsmeI mean, it's not impossible.我觉得也不是没有可能哦。

CommanderI have an idea that's more likely. Would you like to hear it?我有一个可能性更大的想法，你要不要听一听？

CommanderThere is a reason why Florence could only treat them in secret and could only remain silent even when you cast doubt on her.芙洛伦之所以只能偷偷治疗，甚至刚才在面对怀疑时，都只能保持沉默，只有一个原因。

EsmeDid I ask for your opinion?我有说要听你的想法吗？

CommanderThen get up and stop me if you can.反正你也阻止不了我。

(I ignore her and continue speaking.)（我无视了她冰冷的神情，继续说了下去。）

CommanderMy guess is that someone was controlling her, perhaps even in possession of her authorizations, which meant that for the most part, she had to obey orders.我猜，有一个人，在控制着她，甚至拥有她的权限，大多数时候，她都不得不遵守指令。

CommanderAnd so she obeyed her orders and managed this hallucinatory amusement park. Even if she wanted to treat these people, she could only do it secretly.她遵守着指令，管理着这座由幻觉形成的乐园。即便她想要治愈这些人，也都只能偷偷的。

EsmeSurely you're not going to say that I did it because I'm a Doll engineer, are you?你该不会说因为我是人形工程师，所以这件事是我做的吧？

CommanderNobody else can do it. Am I wrong?其他人没有这个能力，不是吗？

CommanderI advise you not to keep denying it. Everything will be clear when we check Florence's ownership data, and even if you try encrypting it, our engineers' skills are far superior to yours.我劝你不要再负隅顽抗了，查询一下芙洛伦的归属信息，一切都会变得清楚起来，就算你做了加密，我这边的工程师水平可是远在你之上的。

Esme...But that just means you can't check it now, no?……那你现在不是没法查嘛。

CommanderLooks like you know that there are no other Doll engineers here besides you.看来你也清楚，这里除了你之外，也不会有其他的人形工程师了。

CommanderAnd the reason for that is because everyone here besides you was kidnapped from the transport detail. That was why they were so shocked when they saw you.正是因为除了你之外，所有人都是在运输途中被绑架而来的运输队员。所以看到你出现时，她们才会那么惊讶。

CommanderAnd besides, did I ever tell you her name was Florence before you called her name?更何况，在你喊出她的名字之前，我有跟你说过，她叫芙洛伦吗？

EsmeWhat...?什么……？

CommanderEveryone else besides you called her Manager. Logically speaking, how could you have known her name if you had really lost your memories like the others?除你之外，所有参与者都叫她管理员。按理说，如果你和其他人一样真的什么都不记得，又怎么会知道她的名字？

CommanderHow would you have known to call her "Florence"?你怎么会叫她“芙洛伦”？

Esme...……

EsmeHeh...哼……

EsmeHahahahahahaha!哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈……！！

EsmeI knew it, all sorts of interesting things DO happen at amusement parks!果然，游乐园会有很多有意思的事情发生呢！

EsmeAnd here I was getting tired of watching this lot scream. Fortunately, you showed up, hahahaha!本来还觉得一直看这群人惨叫，有点腻了，幸好你来了，哈哈哈哈！

CommanderSo, do you want to say it, or should I do the honors?你自己说，还是我替你说？

EsmeWhat's there to say? Yes, I kidnapped Florence, made her modify Erdis for me. And then I kidnapped these "old friends" of mine who all deserved it, mind you, and had them play with me instead of smuggling contraband. Pretty fun, all things considered.有什么可说的？我劫持了芙洛伦后，让她为我改良厄狄斯，然后又劫持了这些本来就该死的老熟人们，比起继续运送违禁品，和我一起在这里玩，不是挺好的嘛。

CommanderSo they deserved to die? What about yourself?她们该死，那你呢？

EsmeI never said I didn't deserve it! We could all have gone together!我又没说我不该死，我们正好能玩到一块去啊！

EsmeAnd you... I think you and I could be super best friends!而且我觉得你……肯定也能和我成为超级好的朋友的！

CommanderYour approval fills me with shame.谢谢，但我仍觉得这是一种恶毒的辱骂。

CommanderStill, there's one thing I don't understand.不过，我有一点还是不太明白。

CommanderHow did you do all this?你是怎么做到这一切的？

(After all, given her current state, it's hard to imagine how she could trap so many people here.)（毕竟，她刚才的表现，实在令人难以想象，她是怎样将这么多人，困在这里的。）

EsmeOh, I know I'm weak, and nobody thought I could do anything outrageous. So nobody suspected me when their routes were changed, their cargo was swapped, their trucks were attacked, and when I showed up in front of them.我知道我很弱小，没人觉得我能做出什么过分的事。所以即便她们的运输路线被篡改，货物被掉包，运输车被袭击，而我又出现在她们面前时，都没有人怀疑我。

EsmeThey all thought they could deal with me easily, just as you're thinking now.就像你直到现在，还以为你能轻松干掉我。

EsmeThing is, people's perceptions of reality can vary, just like in a hallucination. I still have many ways to fight. Would you like to experience them?但就像幻觉一样，人们总是对于事实有些认知偏差，我能战斗的方式还有很多，要试试吗？

Final Guest 最后的游客

EsmeHehehe...呼呼呼……

EsmeHahahahahahaha!呼呼哈哈哈哈哈哈……！

(Despite being down for the count, Esme seems even more ecstatic than before. She laughs maniacally, like she's seen something funny.)（尽管被击倒在地，但埃斯梅看上去却更加兴奋了，她狂笑着，就像是看到什么有趣的东西一样。）

CommanderAny more tricks you'd like to pull out of your sleeve?你还有什么手段？

EsmeI changed my mind. Why don't you stay behind and keep playing with me? If you do that, I'll guarantee that these people make it back in a healthy and sane state. How about that?我改变主意了，你留下来，继续陪我玩吧？这样的话，我就保证那些人健康又正常地回去，怎么样？

CommanderYou have no grounds to be talking terms with me. I'll be taking everyone with me when I go, including Florence and you.你现在可没有和我谈条件的资本，我会带所有人离开，包括芙洛伦在内，还有你。

EsmeOh? You're going to punish me? How exciting.哎呀，要惩罚我吗？真令人期待。

EsmeSpeaking of Florence, I'd like to ask about something. How did you come to your senses?不过，说到芙洛伦，我很好奇，你到底是怎么清醒过来的？

CommanderThere are backdoors to everything. You ought to know that better than me.任何事情都有后门，你应该比我更清楚这一点。

(Florence has always been trustworthy.)（芙洛伦一直是可以信任的。）

Park Closing Announcement 闭园宣告

Esme(Coughs) ...But what did she do?咳……她到底做了什么？

(Esme's body was already frail, and after being defeated in battle, she's a complete mess. She looks exceptionally pathetic as she asks that question.)（埃斯梅原本就虚弱的身体，在作战失败后，变得几乎残破不堪。她的追问在这时显得无比狼狈。）

CommanderDidn't Florence tell you? In order to continue topping off the Erdis doses, she asked you to give her a clinic where she could improve the formula and put the guests who were being punished.芙洛伦是不是告诉过你，维持乐园的幻觉需要持续补充药剂，所以请求你给予她一个诊疗室，来进行药剂的持续改良，同时，还可以安放那些受到惩罚的游客？

EsmeYou talk like you were actually there.你说得简直就像是在现场一样呢。

FlorenceWell, simple management is boring, much more than my time in Griffin. You should be able to relate, Esme.单纯的管理员工作实在是太过无聊，埃斯梅也能理解的，比我在格里芬的时候可要无聊多了。

CommanderAnd so, things unfolded like Pauline said. Florence used the "reward time" as an opportunity to try and treat the hallucinating guests.于是，就像珀琳所说的那样。芙洛伦以此为借口，开始在“奖励时间”中，尝试治疗这些幻觉中的游客。

CommanderPauline, Mia, and Mireille all received treatment to various extents.不论是珀琳、米娅还是米雷耶，都接受过不同程度的治疗。

CommanderThat's why they learned the truth to different extents and recalled their pasts, to the point where they began to sense that something was amiss.因此她们才会接触到不同程度的真相，也回忆起了一些过去的事情，甚至察觉到了异常。

FlorenceAnd you approached them because you realized this, Commander?指挥官察觉到了这一点，所以后来才会去主动接近她们吧？

CommanderUnfortunately, Pauline didn't trust Florence even until the very end.不过很遗憾，直到最后，珀琳也没有相信芙洛伦。

CommanderThe others also broke down to different degrees, and some were even discovered by you, who knew everything. That's why you took action and began killing them off, right?其他人也有着不同程度的发狂，甚至还被察觉到一切的你发现了，埃斯梅，所以你才开始行动，将她们逐个杀死的吧？

EsmeOh yes. Unfortunately, I ran into a tough cookie like you.是啊，不过很可惜，来了一个像你这样难缠的家伙。

(Esme smiles and nods without reserve, her mask completely off now.)（埃斯梅坦率地笑着点了点头，仿佛已经彻底卸下了伪装）

CommanderFlorence was the one who asked me for help. To be precise, I came here to help her.是芙洛伦向我求助的，确切地说，我来这里，就是为了帮助她。

FlorenceOnly a patient as cooperative as the Commander, possessing great willpower and willingness to work with their physician could complete the full course of treatment.只有指挥官这样配合医生的患者，凭借强大的意志力，完成了全部疗程呢。

FlorenceSo, how does it feel to be healed? Thanks to a few special ingredients, not only should you be feeling alert and full of energy, other parts of you should also be so full of energy that you can't stand it.痊愈的感觉怎么样？因为特别的加料，指挥官现在不仅大脑清醒，其他的地方也是清醒得不得了哦。

(I'm at a bit of a loss for how to respond to Florence, so I turn away and continue speaking to Esme.)（芙洛伦的话让我有些失语，我没有回答她，转而继续和埃斯梅对话。）

Commander...But yes, Florence did help me get better.……总之，的确是芙洛伦治好了我。

EsmeHeh... Well done, Florence. To think you'd dare do something like this on my watch.呼……在我的监视下还敢做这种事，真有你的啊，芙洛伦。

FlorenceNever give a pharmacist her own lab~ Still, this ought to count as a surprise, right?永远别给药剂师属于她自己的实验室。不过，这也算是惊喜了，对吗？

FlorenceAnd besides, you were having fun playing cat and mouse too.再说了，你不是也对猫抓老鼠的游戏很乐在其中嘛。

CommanderThat clinic was where Florence adjusted and stored the modified drug.那个诊疗室，就是芙洛伦进行药剂调配和保存的地方。

EsmeBut if I'm not wrong, I only gave her permission to inject the modified Erdis, right? (cough)但我记得，我的指令是只允许她注射改良厄狄斯才对……咳。

FlorenceI mean, the Commander already left his mark on my body and soul...毕竟我的素体早就有了指挥官的烙印了……

(Florence walks over and sidles up to me, not-so-subtly hinting at something.)（芙洛伦缓步站到我的身边，她轻轻靠近我，传达着一种隐晦的暗示。）

CommanderGive a proper explanation.你好好说话。

FlorenceI'm referring to a forced-execution command that the Commander gave me. While it was meant for more amusing diversions...也就是指挥官给我的强制执行方案，虽然之前是为了一些有趣的事情准备的……

FlorenceThat command can bypass all authorizations and directly seize frame control permissions.这份方案可以越过权限所属，直接取得素体的控制权。

FlorenceWhile it only works for a while, it's enough if you just want to give someone an injection.虽然只有很短的时间，不过只是打一针的话，还是够用的啦。

FlorenceThink of it as something like a "safeword". After all, the Commander's always so eager and forceful, to the point where my body has trouble keeping up.大概就像是“安全词”一样的东西吧，毕竟指挥官总是会有些过激，连我都有些承受不住。

CommanderHey, don't say things that people might misinterpret.等一下，你别说这种让人误解的话。

FlorenceAw, don't be shy, Commander. Esme won't get it.别害羞嘛，指挥官，埃斯梅听不懂的。

Commander...You're just making things worse.……你不要越描越黑了。

Esme...I've heard enough.……我听懂了。

EsmeEverything is clear now.我完全理解了。

EsmeIn short, you betrayed me, didn't you, Florence?总之，就是芙洛伦这家伙背叛了我，对吧？

FlorenceBetray? That's not the word you should be using when it comes to me, is it?背叛？这个词不该用在我身上吧？

FlorenceYou should have known this from the moment you hijacked control of my body.从你劫持我的那一刻开始，你就应该知道这件事。

FlorenceIsn't an outcome like this exactly what you wanted? I wasn't part of the hallucination, and frankly speaking, I was getting sick of watching you all freak out.现在这样的结果不是正对你胃口吗？我可没有陷入幻觉，看你们发疯我也看腻了。

FlorenceAre you not entertained? You should be creaming yourself right now.这不是很刺激嘛，你应该爽死了才对。

EsmeHehehe...呵呵呵……

EsmeYes, I am. But it would be terribly unfair to hoard all the fun to myself.是啊，但如果只有我自己爽到的话，那岂不是很不公平。

(With the last of her strength, Esme bangs on a console beside her.)（说完，埃斯梅用尽最后的力气，敲击起了手边的设备。）

CommanderStop!住手！！

(I draw my gun and fire three shots in rapid succession at the device. But it seems she didn't enter a command, only pushed a button before slumping into her wheelchair like she's given up on everything.)（我掏出手枪，迅速对着她手中的设备连开三枪，但她似乎并未输入长指令，只是按下一个键后便瘫坐在了轮椅上，仿佛已经放弃了一切。）

(She doesn't even react when the bullets punch through the console and shower her in sparks.)（直到子弹击穿她的设备，火花四射，她都没有一点惊讶。）

Florence...……

(Beside me, Florence is clearly on the verge of bluescreening. Her various modules are in various stages of shutdown. Her eyes are unfocused and she can't speak.)（但一旁的芙洛伦，却已经明显地陷入了宕机的风险中，各项模块均有着不同程度的暂停活动，视线无法聚焦，也无法正常地倾听与对话。）

EsmeIt's a neural cloud delete command.是心智清除指令。

EsmeIf I'm not wrong, she hasn't been backed up in a long time.我记得，她应该很久没有备份了。

CommanderAre you fucking insane?!你疯了吗？！

EsmeThere's no stopping it. After all, you just shot up the one thing that could influence her neural cloud. Now even I can't stop it.停不下来啊，毕竟唯一能够影响她心智的东西已经被你毁掉了，现在就连我也没办法了。

EsmeWhy don't you kill me? Kill a shitty human being like me for the sake of a robot?要不你杀了我吧？为了个机器人，把我这种烂到透的人类杀了吧？

EsmeOr no, even if you don't do anything, I might die soon enough, anyway. Isn't that right?不，就算你不行动，我恐怕很快就要死了吧？

CommanderFirst off, you can shut up now. I'm not interested in listening to the confessions of the defeated and whatever tragic backstory you have that you're using as an excuse to commit crimes.首先，你可以闭嘴了，我没兴趣听败者的内心独白，任何惨痛的过去都不是你犯罪的理由。

CommanderSecondly, I'm not interested in judging anyone, so I'm not going to do anything to you for the time being.第二，我没兴趣审判任何人，所以我暂时不会把你怎么样。

CommanderAnd finally, you've piled up so many sins that destroying a single Doll is a drop in the bucket for you, so don't try to draw false equivalencies here.最后，你的罪行实在太多了，毁掉一个人形，对你而言不算什么，少偷换概念。

CommanderThat said, I'll make sure you get what you deserve... I guarantee it.但是我确实会让你得到应得的下场……我保证。

EsmeOh, don't worry. Doesn't she have that, what did you call it, that "safeword"?别担心，她不是有那个嘛，“安全词”，对吧？

EsmeDo your best, Florence. Show me just how you'll protect your neural cloud now...加油哦，芙洛伦，接下来，让我看看你究竟是如何守住自己心智的吧……

Park Closing Announcement 闭园宣告

FlorenceEeep!呀——！

Commander...……

(Florence yelps and collapses on me. As I try to catch her, her added weight makes me lose my balance, and I end up meeting the ground as well.)（芙洛伦小声惊叫了一声，随后便倒在了我的身上，试图接住她的我也被她突如其来的重量推倒在地。）

CommanderFlorence...芙洛伦……

(I look at Florence, trying to see if she's back to normal.)（我看着芙洛伦的样子，试图判断她是否恢复了正常。）

FlorenceHehehe... What's this, Commander? Were you worried about me?哼哼哼……指挥官很担心我吗？

(Florence studies me briefly, then smiles smugly before turning to grind herself harder on me.)（芙洛伦看了我一会，然后露出了一个得意的笑容，整个人也顺势压住了我。）

Esme(Clears throat)咳……

EsmeYou... managed to... help her?你……帮了……她……吗？

CommanderShe helped herself for the most part.主要靠她自己。

(Esme's body is at the end of its tether, and her voice is barely above a whisper. It is a reminder that not everything is over, even if Florence is back to normal.)（埃斯梅早已到达极限的身体，发出残破的声音。也提醒了我，即便芙洛伦恢复了正常，一切也都还没结束。）

Commander...If you're fine, you can get off me now.……没事的话你就先从我身上下来。

(Her response makes me certain that she's fine. Together, we help Esme up as we wait for the Elmo to arrive.)（她的反应让我确信她的确恢复了正常。我们一起将埃斯梅扶起来，艾莫号正在接应我们的路上。）

CommanderSo what do you plan to do now?你打算怎么办？

FlorenceWell, as a medical Doll, what else can I do?作为医疗人形，我还能做什么？

(Florence's thoughts are the same as mine. No matter what the people here did, we have no intention of passing judgment on them. Once they're treated, we will have nothing further to do with each other.)（芙洛伦和我的想法不谋而合，无论被困在这里的人做过什么，审判并不是我们的本意，治好这些人之后，我们也就不会再与她们有所交集。）

(However, these contraband drugs—however little there is left of them—are taken by Florence as research samples.)（不过，这些违规的药品——尽管所剩无几，还是作为芙洛伦的研究对象，被她带走了。）

FlorenceDon't you feel happy to have survived such a big incident?明明经历了这么大的事件，就没有劫后余生的兴奋感吗？

CommanderI don't know if we can consider this a success. I feel more worried than happy.我不知道你是否成功了，比起兴奋，刚才更多的还是担心。

FlorenceI suppose it was quite an exciting experience for us, so would it kill you to enjoy it a little more? And besides, it would have been fine even if I really had been destroyed. After all, sacrificing themselves for humanity is a Doll's purpose.毕竟是很刺激的事情，指挥官更享受一些也没关系哦？而且，就算真的将我毁掉了也无所谓，为人类而牺牲，这就是人形存在的意义。

(Florence stands up and heads back to the clinic.)（芙洛伦站起身，向着诊疗室走去。）

FlorenceThat said, I'm going to cure these people first.不过现在，我要先治好这些人再说。

(I suddenly recall everything Florence did and said during the "reward time" segment earlier.)（我的脑海中突然浮现出了之前的“奖励时间”，芙洛伦的所作所为再次进入我的脑海。）

CommanderEr, your treatment methods seem a little questionable...呃，那你的治疗方式……

FlorenceHehe... What are you thinking, Commander? All that was special service for you.呼呼……指挥官，在想些什么呢，那可都是给指挥官的特别服务哦。

CommanderSo all that unnecessary crap was just your sick fetish?果然那些没必要的东西都是你的恶趣味啊？

FlorenceHehe...哼哼……

(Still, perhaps it was all a hallucination, and all Florence did was just a simple injection.)（不过，也或许那只是幻觉而已，芙洛伦真正做的事情，也或许只是简单的注射。）

FlorenceCommander, are you saying that I was so seductive and charming in the hallucination that you finally fell for me?指挥官，是不是幻觉中的我，看上去更加有魅力，你终于也被我吸引了？

CommanderEven if that was the case, it was just an illusion.再怎么说那也只是幻觉。

FlorenceWell, we can't truly perceive the real world. All we know is what our senses tell us.真正的世界本来就是不可能被我们所感知到的，我们所知道的只有自己的感觉。

FlorenceThat being the case, there's no harm in treating our dreams as reality, no? After all, in the end the only thing we have are our memories.所以，把梦当成真的体验也无妨吧？反正最后留下的都只有记忆。

(Saying so, Florence suddenly presses up against me and takes my hand before dragging me into the clinic with her.)（说完，芙洛伦突然靠了上来，挽住我的手，拉我和她一起前往诊疗室。）

FlorenceSo let's start by finishing the treatment.现在先帮我完成治疗工作吧。

CommanderWill that include Esme?包括埃斯梅？

FlorenceHer treatment won't be as pleasant.她的治疗方式可能没那么好受了。

FlorenceOh, yes!对了！

(Florence looks up at me, that familiar, foxy smile on her face.)（芙洛伦仰头看向我，露出了熟悉的、狡猾的笑容。）

FlorenceStill, if you miss "reward time" so badly, then when we get back to the Elmo, I can let you experience the true meaning of special service.不过，如果指挥官真的这么怀念“奖励时间”的话，到艾莫号之后，我再让指挥官体验一下，真正的特别服务吧！

FlorenceI promise that it will feel much, much better than this.我保证，会比这还要舒服得多。

FlorenceAnd you can experience it if you give me a lab of my own. You will, won't you?只要指挥官能保证，我必须有一个属于自己的实验室，我就让你体验到哦？
