Read this chapter with voices →CroqueHonestly, why am I here now and not stuck back in Engineering?真是的，为什么我现在会在这啊，不应该宅在工程局吗？
CroqueMy model's only half-built and I haven't finished watching my series yet... This is annoying, I kind of wish I were home.模型才装了一半，番剧也没有刷完……好烦，有点想回去了。
Croque attaches a mechanical device to the data port of the firewall. It contains a decryption program written by Antonina.克罗琦将一个机械装置贴上防火墙的数据接口，里面搭载着安冬妮娜写的破解程序。
CroquePersicaria always used to nag me about how I never did any fieldwork, to say nothing of doing scouting runs.之前帕斯卡还嫌弃我出个外勤都要磨叽半天，更不要说打前哨做侦察这种事情了。
CroqueAnd now I actively volunteered to do something like this. I must have been out of my mind or something. Eh, better not complain, I chose this, after all.现在我却主动申请干这个，一定是脑子抽了。唉，还是不抱怨了，路都是自己选的……
CroqueCroque, oh Croque, you can't forget the decisions from your past. And besides, isn't there something good waiting for you?克罗琦啊克罗琦，先前做出的决定可不能忘。再说了，不是还有好东西在里面等着你吗？
Inside the Oasis Headquarters.绿洲指挥部。
PersicariaHere's your coffee. You ought to get some rest, Professor.您的咖啡，该休息一会了，教授。
ProfessorThank you. Give me a quick summary of the recent work we've done.谢谢，简单汇报一下近期的工作吧。
PersicariaEverything's gone very well. While there are still many problems which need to be dealt with, on the whole the Oasis has found its feet.一切都很顺利。虽然要处理的问题还有很多，但整体来看，绿洲的建设基本已经步入正轨。
PersicariaIn addition, our friction with the outside world has been decreasing, and it's been a long time since our defensive forces last encountered Sanctifiers.不仅如此，我们和外界的摩擦也在减少，防守部队已经很久没有和净化者碰面了。
PersicariaIn fact, we can even afford the luxury to send people to other sectors to perform operand collections, neural cloud rescues and other missions.眼下我们甚至能抽出富余的人手前往其他扇区，执行算量采集、心智救援等任务。
ProfessorHow about Antonina and the others? They haven't looked well ever since they came back from Cyclopes.安冬妮娜她们呢？从基洛普斯扇区回来后，她们好像状态一直不是很好。
PersicariaAntonina... She still spends all day cooped up in her workroom. And after learning about everything, Sol voluntarily upped the intensity of her training program.安冬妮娜的话……还是每天都泡在工作室；苏尔在了解前因后果之后，也自愿加强了训练强度。
PersicariaThen there's Croque. Did you know? She actively volunteered to take part in the sector scouting missions.还有克罗琦，您知道吗？她主动申请参加了侦查任务。
ProfessorCroque? Volunteer? Are my ears deceiving me?克罗琦？主动申请？我没听错吧。
PersicariaI had the same reaction as you back then.我当时的反应也和您一样。
PersicariaStill, I think you won't be surprised once you know the name of the sector which Croque went to.不过要是知道克罗琦去的扇区叫什么名字，我想您就不会惊讶了。
PersicariaIt's called Helios, a renowned industrial sector under Svarog. You know Croque's always liked that sort of thing.赫里奥斯，火神重工旗下著名的工业扇区，您知道的，克罗琦向来喜欢这类东西。
ProfessorAh, so it's like a junket, then...噢，原来是公款追星……
PersicariaHehe, well, now that you put it that way it DOES sound like that...呵呵，您这么一说，好像确实是这样。
PersicariaStill, I think this is pretty good. Croque's too much of a shut-in most of the time, heading outside would do her some good.但我觉得这样挺不错的，克罗琦平时太宅了，出去走走也好。
PersicariaAlso, we've found some news about missing companions in that sector. Perhaps...而且我们在那个扇区追踪到了一些失散的伙伴的信息。或许……
Just as she says that, an alert goes off inside the Headquarters.正说着，指挥部响起了通报声。
系统Call request received, now connecting...接到通讯请求，正在接入……
CroqueThis is Croque, I've finished the preliminary stages of my scouting mission.这里是克罗琦，我已初步完成了侦察任务。
PersicariaHow does it feel to be carrying out a scouting mission on your own?第一次执行侦察任务的感觉怎么样？
Croque...I'm missing my cola and air conditioning already.……我已经在想念我的空调还有快乐水了。
CroqueAll that stuff about being a renowned industrial sector was all a lie. I didn't even manage to see the Arche Pyr. Just my luck I guess.果然著名工业扇区都是骗人的，连世界之火的影子都没看见，这一趟亏大发了。
PersicariaThe Arche Pyr? What's that?世界之火？那是什么？
CroqueIt's a legendary Svarog energy project. It's pretty famous.一个火神重工传说中的能源计划，还挺有名的。
ProfessorI knew it, it WAS a junket.果然是公款追星啊。
CroqueEh, Professor? How come you're here too...呃，教授？您怎么也在……
CroqueAhem, just to make things clear, while I don't deny that there might have been just a bit of personal motivation involved in signing up for this mission, I can still tell what's important!咳咳，事先声明啊，虽然我不否认的确是有一点小小的私人原因啦，但我还是能分得清楚轻重缓急的！
PersicariaReally now. The Professor and I aren't too convinced.真的吗，我和教授可都不太能相信呢。
PersicariaIf you can't supply us with adequate proof, I believe the Professor will be glad to punish you.你若是不能给出足够的证明，我想，教授一定很乐意处罚你的。
Persicaria picks up her coffee and waggles it in front of the screen.帕斯卡将咖啡端起，挪到了镜头前晃了一晃。
PersicariaSay, lately I've been feeling that coffee's too bitter. Should I have some cola instead?呀，最近感觉咖啡有些太苦了，要不要试着喝一喝快乐水呢？
CroqueAhhhhhh — Persicaria, you've been learning from the wrong people!啊啊啊——帕斯卡你学坏了！
CroqueIf you keep making fun of me, I'll turn around right now and head back!真是的，你再揶揄我，我可就打道回府了！
PersicariaSorry, sorry, my bad. Let's move on to serious business, then.抱歉抱歉，是我不好。那让我们来谈正事吧。
Croque mumbles to herself as she opens up a screen filled with data, and Persicaria's face turns serious.克罗琦嘟嚷着打开了记录情报的光屏，而帕斯卡也露出认真的表情。
CroqueLike what we predicted before coming to the Helios Sector, it's an experimental sector concerned with energy projects, with plentiful operand supplies.赫里奥斯扇区如同出发前推测的那样，是一个能源类的实验扇区，有充足的算量资源。
CroqueThere are very few Residents here. To date I've only seen three of them. Their intelligence is middling to low, like primitive robots.这里的原住智能体数量很少，到目前为止我只看到了三个，智慧程度中等偏下，更像是古早的机器人。
PersicariaHow willing are they to communicate with outsiders?他们对于外来者的沟通意愿如何？
CroqueThey're friendly enough, I think...比较友善，我觉得应该……
(Static noises)滋滋——
PersicariaCroque?克罗琦？
CroqueI... Helios... (static)... But... (static)我……赫里奥斯……滋……但是……滋……
The sudden distortion grows stronger and stronger, and then the call cuts off.突兀出现的干扰愈来愈强，而后，通讯直接中断。
ProfessorWhat's happening?什么情况？
PersicariaI'm not sure... I'll try again.我不清楚……我再试试。
Persicaria tries to re-establish the connection, but she can't contact Croque no matter what she does.帕斯卡开始尝试重新建立通讯，然而不论如何也无法联系上克罗琦。
PersicariaI have a bad feeling about this, Professor.我有不好的预感，教授。
ProfessorDon't worry. It might just be an ordinary signal problem. Do we have anyone else on dispatch around Helios?不要紧张，可能只是普通的信号问题，赫里奥斯扇区周围有没有其他的外勤人员？
PersicariaWe sent out a lot of people, but to ensure scouting efficiency we only dispatched one or two agents per sector.虽然这次抽调的人手多了很多，但为了保证侦察效率，每个扇区都只外派了一到两名智能体。
ProfessorIn that case, let's head over and take a look.既然如此我们就走一趟吧。
PersicariaAlright, I'll contact Sol now.好，我这就联系苏尔。
Over half an hour later, in the Oasis Headquarters...几十分钟后，绿洲指挥部。
系统Call request received, now connecting...接到通讯请求，正在接入……
CroqueThis is Croque, I've finished the preliminary stages of my scouting mission.这里是克罗琦，我已初步完成了侦察任务。
Croque...I'm missing my cola and air conditioning already.唉……我已经在想念我的空调和快乐水了。
CroqueAhem, like what we predicted before coming to the Helios Sector, it's an experimental sector concerned with energy projects, with plentiful operand supplies.咳咳，总之，赫里奥斯扇区如同推测的那样，是一个能源类的实验扇区，有充足的算量资源。
CroqueThere are very few Residents here. To date I've only seen three of them...这里的原住智能体数量很少，到目前为止我只看到了三个……
CroqueHuh... Where are they?咦……人呢？
CroqueHello? Persicaria? Professor?喂？帕斯卡？教授？
CroqueIs this thing broken? It can't be, right? Says right here that the signal is normal, isn't it?设备坏了？不应该吧，这里显示信号正常啊？

On the border of the Helios Sector, outside the sector firewall.赫里奥斯扇区边界，扇区墙门外。
PersicariaEveryone's working hard in their own way.大家都在用自己的方式努力。
Incongruence 违和
Read this chapter with voices →Helios Sector.赫里奥斯扇区。
Together with Persicaria and Sol, we entered the Helios Sector.和帕斯卡及苏尔一起，我们进入了赫里奥斯扇区。
PersicariaFor safety's sake, let's test the comms environment around here.保险起见，我们先在这里测试一下通讯环境吧。
PersicariaProfessor, I'll be calling you now.教授，我现在就向您发起通讯请求。
ProfessorEh? Right now? Wait...欸？现在吗？等……
Before I can finish, an exciting theme song from a late-night anime begins playing in my ear.话音未落，激扬的深夜动画主题曲便在耳边响了起来。
PersicariaEr, is that...your personalized ringtone, Professor?呃，这是……教授设置的个性化铃声？
SolUwah, the lyrics are so chuuni.呜哇，好中二的歌词。
ProfessorI, I think Croque changed it on her own!这，这好像是克罗琦擅自给我改的！
ProfessorMore importantly, is there any signal disruption?比起这个，通讯信号好像没有受阻吧？
PersicariaNope, I'm not detecting any disruption. The signal's just fine.确实，我这边没有检测到干扰，通讯非常正常。
SolThat's strange, then why couldn't you contact Croque? I'll give it a shot.奇怪了，那你们怎么会联系不上克罗琦呢？ 我试一下好了。
Sol fires up her communicator.苏尔启动了通讯装置。
系统Transmission request sent, now connecting...通讯请求已发出，正在接入……
PersicariaWhat, it actually got through?居然真的接通了吗？
CroqueSol? Are you out of the training room? Why are you calling me all of a sudden?苏尔？你从训练室里出来了？怎么突然想起给我打电话。
SolWhat do you mean, all of a sudden? Are you okay?哪里突然了——你人没出事吧？
CroqueThat's what I mean by all of a sudden...就是这里很突然啊……
CroqueI'm perfectly fine, why would I not be okay?好端端的我为什么会出事啊。
SolThen you should have told us you were fine, everyone was frightened when they lost contact with you.既然没事的话你至少得给我们报个平安吧，突然失联很吓人的。
SolI was focusing on training in the training room when Persicaria and the Prof suddenly yoinked me out without warning.本来我正在训练室专心练习呢，莫名其妙就被帕斯卡们拉了出来。
SolThe Prof said something might have happened to you, so I rushed over without even changing my pants!听教授说你可能遭遇了不测，我急得裤子都没换就赶过来了！
CroqueIt's not that bad, is it... I know this is my first scouting mission, but am I really that unreliable?这倒不至于吧……虽然我是第一次执行侦察任务，但有这么不靠谱吗？
CroqueThat's like, the most basic element of interpersonal trust... Am I some kind of weakling in your eyes?人与人之间最基本的信任哪去了……难不成我在你们眼里很脆弱？
SolIt's, uh, it's not like I'm saying you're weak or anything, it's just that something unexpected might have happened in the sector...也，也不是说你很脆弱什么的啦，也有可能是扇区里发生了什么意外事故之类的……
CroqueThat's even less possible. I checked already, this is a special experimental Svarog Heavy Industries sector.那就更不可能啦。我早确认过了，这儿可是火神重工的特别实验扇区。
CroqueIn fact, I'd say the chances of the machines here exploding are lower than me pulling an SSR in the gacha!要我说，这里的机械爆炸的概率比我抽卡出货的概率还低！
PersicariaThen why didn't you contact us after the call cut out?那为什么在通讯中断以后你不联系我们？
PersicariaIt's not that we don't trust you, but anyone would be worried if we suddenly lost contact with one of our explorers.不是我们不信任你，但是外派的勘察员突然失联，换作是谁都会紧张。
PersicariaThis isn't a joke, you know.这不是可以拿来开玩笑的事情。
CroqueThe call cut out? What are you talking about, Persicaria? When did I ever call you?通讯中断？帕斯卡你在说什么啊，我什么时候跟你们有过通讯了。
CroqueAlso, about that cutting out stuff... This is the first time I've heard from you ever since I left the Oasis.还有失联又是什么……从绿洲出发到现在我是第一次接到你们的消息啊。
Croque's face on the monitor looks blank and confused, and her answer stuns us all.屏幕上的克罗琦一脸茫然，给出的答复让我们愣在了原地。
Upon seeing that Croque doesn't seem to be lying, Persicaria and I exchange looks.见克罗琦的反应不似作伪，帕斯卡我和交换了一下眼神。
Persicaria...Give us your coordinates and stay where you are, we'll talk after we meet up.……把坐标告诉我们。你先原地待命，我们汇合之后再细说。
CroqueHm. So you're saying that I was the one who initiated the call to you and the Professor.嗯嗯。也就是说，我先和帕斯卡还有教授进行了通讯。
CroqueAnd then, the call cut out and you couldn't contact me no matter what you did. So you guys got worried and came straight here, is that it?然后通讯中断，之后怎么也联系不上我。担心出了什么意外，所以你们就直接赶了过来。是不是这样？
SolYup, that's it.没毛病。
CroqueNo, that's not it.不，这可太有毛病了。
Croque shows us her phone.克罗琦向我们展示了她的通讯装置。
系统Call log for today — 01.本日通讯记录——01
PersicariaBut how...怎么会这样……
CroqueI'd like to know myself. I'm still organizing my information and I was planning to send it back after I was done.我还想问呢，我正在整理收集好的情报，打算结束后就联络绿洲。
PersicariaThat can't be, you've already given us your report.不可能，你已经把情报交给我们了。
Persicaria shows Croque her memo pad.帕斯卡向克罗琦展示了她的备忘录。
PersicariaYou said Helios Sector was just like you predicted before you set out, it was an energy-related experimental sector with ample stocks of operands.赫里奥斯扇区如同出发前推测的那样，是一个能源类的实验扇区，有充足的算量资源。
PersicariaAnd there were very few Residents here... See, these are your own words.这里的原住智能体数量很少……看，这些都是你的原话。
CroqueNow that's weird. Could this be some kind of occult incident?这就奇怪了，难不成是灵异事件？
CroqueMaybe it was my doppelganger which contacted you...没准联系你们的是我的幽灵分身……
Sol...Hey! How did the occult get involved all of a sudden?!……喂！怎么突然就灵异了！
SolThis is a world of science, don't just go roping in evil spirits and ghosts and whatever!我们这里可是科学的世界，不要随随便便联动什么幽灵恶魔之类的！
CroqueYou know, I was just mentioning it casually, so why are you so nervous and...我就随口那么一说，你怎么就紧张起来了……
CroqueAhem! Anyway, there are quite a few spooky things in the world of science.嗯咳！其实科学的世界里也有很多怪谈的。
CroqueFor instance, underground organizations creating zombies, quantum revenants struggling in the interstices of reality, the electronic sheep in the girls' dorm...比如地下组织制造的生化僵尸，在夹缝间挣扎的量子怨魂，女生宿舍里的电子羊……
SolEeeeek!!噫——！
PersicariaThat's enough, both of you. Professor, what do you make of all this?你们两个别闹了。教授，您觉得这是什么情况？
PersicariaThat's true... This IS the cloud server, after all, so what we see and hear might not be real.确实……毕竟这里是云端，所见所闻也不一定是真实的。
PersicariaStill, if this really is the work of a hacker, then their technology is far too realistic...不过如果真是骇客搞的鬼，那这技术也太逼真了……
It might be a virus or a hacker.可能是病毒或者骇客的影响。
It might be hypnosis by electronic sheep.可能是电子羊的催眠。
SolP-Professor, why are you doing this too?!怎，怎么教授也！
PersicariaThat was a joke, right? ...Hm, although, hypnosis, you say? That makes sense.您是在开玩笑吧？……唔，不过，催眠吗？也有道理。
SolOh no! It's gotten to Persicaria too!完了，帕斯卡也！
PersicariaCalm down, Sol. I think what the Professor means is that what we saw might have been the result of "hypnosis" by a certain virus.冷静，苏尔。我想教授的意思是，我们看到的东西可能是某种病毒“催眠”的结果。
CroqueWhy don't we go ask Anna? She's a specialist in network security.要不问问安娜的意见？她是网络信息安全方面的专家。
PersicariaThat's true. However, Antonina's still working on the Oasis' firewall and couldn't come, so I guess I'll just call her up.也对，但安冬妮娜还在绿洲主持防火墙的修缮工作没有跟来，我联系一下她好了。
Persicaria activates her communicator.帕斯卡启动了通讯装置。
系统Transmission request sent, now connecting...通讯请求已发出，正在接入……
Crackle—滋——滋——
PersicariaEh?诶？
SolWhat happened?怎么了？
PersicariaThe disruption's back.干扰好像又出现了。
Persicaria and Sol begin checking their comms gear.帕斯卡和苏尔开始处理通讯装置。
Just then, Croque stage-whispers to them.就在这时，克罗琦突然发出了一声低呼。
CroqueYou guys, come see this!你们快看！
As they look in the direction where Croque is pointing, a blinding white light suddenly ignites within the depths of the sector.朝着克罗琦所指的方向看去，扇区深处陡然亮起一抹耀眼的白光。
It is slowly followed by a mushroom cloud slowly rising up. The flames charge into the sky and spread out in all directions, faster than the speed of sound.紧跟着一朵蘑菇云冉冉升起，冲天的焰火以迅雷不及掩耳之势向周边扩散开来。
SolIt's an explosion! Run!是爆炸！撤！
Just as Sol finishes, the delayed sound of the explosion and the shuddering of the earth hamper our footsteps.苏尔话音刚落，迟来的轰鸣声与大地的震颤便绊住了我们的脚步。
And then, we are engulfed by roiling waves of fire.随后，席卷而来的焰浪将我们彻底吞没。
In that moment, everything within sight suddenly vanishes, and the sound in my ears becomes a monotonous ringing.刹那间，视界内的所有景象都消失了，耳边的声响也逐渐演化为单一的鸣噪。
For just an instant, I feel like I've been disconnected from the world.有那么一瞬，我感觉仿佛与这个世界中断了链接。

CroqueYeah, it seems there's only the three of them...嗯，这里好像只有它们三个……
Deja Vu 重现
Read this chapter with voices →The light fades, and my vision returns to normal.白光褪去，视界再度恢复了正常。
However, I am stunned by what I see before me.然而眼前的景象却让我愣在了原地。
Croque...I know this is my first scouting mission, but am I really that unreliable?……虽然我是第一次执行侦察任务，但有这么不靠谱吗？
CroqueThat's like, the most basic element of interpersonal trust... Am I some kind of weakling in your eyes?人与人之间最基本的信任哪去了……难不成我在你们眼里很脆弱？
SolIt's, uh, it's not like I'm saying you're weak or anything, it's just that something unexpected might have happened in the Sector...也，也不是说你很脆弱什么的啦，也有可能是扇区里发生了什么意外事故之类的……
CroqueThat's even less possible. I checked already, this is a special experimental Svarog Heavy Industries sector.那就更不可能啦。我早确认过了，这儿可是火神重工的特别科研扇区。
CroqueIn fact, I'd say the chances of the machines here exploding are lower than me pulling an SSR in the gacha!要我说，这里的机械爆炸的概率比我抽卡出货的概率还低！
PersicariaWhat's wrong, Professor? Why do you look so pale?教授您怎么了？怎么突然脸色变得这么差？
ProfessorDo you guys really not remember anything?你什么都不记得了吗？
PersicariaRemember... What should we be remembering?不记得……您指的是什么？
I tell Persicaria about everything that happened just now.我将方才发生的事情告诉了帕斯卡。
PersicariaProfessor, much as I'd like to believe you, the things you're saying are... rather far-fetched.教授，虽然我也很想相信您，但您描述的事情实在是……太离奇了一些。
PersicariaYou say we're repeating things that have already happened... But do you have any proof for that?我们正在重复已经发生过的事情……您这么说有什么依据吗？
ProfessorOkay, watch this. Next up, Croque is going to tell us that she never sent us a transmission.你看好了，接下来克罗琦会告诉我们，她从未和我们有过通讯。
ProfessorSol! Ask Croque why she didn't call us after the transmission cut out.苏尔！你问克罗琦，为什么不在通讯中断后重新联系我们。
SolEh? Prof?诶，教授？
SolUm... Croque, the Prof's asking why didn't you contact us after the call cut out?唔……克罗琦，教授问你为什么不在通讯中断后重新联系我们？
ProfessorThe call cut out? What are you talking about, Persicaria? When did I ever call you?通讯中断？教授你在说什么啊，我什么时候跟你们有过通讯了。
CroqueThe call cut out? What are you talking about, Persicaria? When did I ever call you?通讯中断？教授你在说什么啊，我什么时候跟你们有过通讯了。
ProfessorAlso, about that cutting out stuff... This is the first time I've heard from you ever since I left the Oasis.还有失联又是什么……从绿洲出发到现在我是第一次接到你们的消息啊。
CroqueAlso, about that cutting out stuff... This is the first time I've heard from you ever since I left the Oasis.还有失联又是什么……从绿洲出发到现在我是第一次接到你们的消息啊。
PersicariaThis...这……
SolCroque, are you repeating everything the Prof says?克罗琦，你是复读机？
ProfessorIt's not her fault, Sol. Have Croque hold position and tell us her coordinates.不是她的问题，苏尔。让克罗琦原地待命，把坐标告诉我们。
SolUm... Croque, the Prof wants you to tell us your coordinates and then stay put.唔……克罗琦，教授让你把坐标告诉我们，然后原地待命。
CroqueSure. My coordinates are (α 85...好的，我的坐标是（α 85……
Professor(α 85.17, β 71.24, γ 42,58).（α 85.17，β 71.24，γ 42.58）。
ProfessorDo you believe me now, Persicaria?你现在相信我了吗？帕斯卡？
PersicariaI... I believe you, but what should we do next?我……我相信您了，可我们接下来该怎么办？
PersicariaDo you still remember what's going to happen next?您还记得接下来会发生什么吗？
ProfessorLet me think, we contact Croque, and then we meet up, we meet three mini robots... Then we investigate the cause of all this, and then...我想想，我们联系克罗琦，然后汇合，遇到三个小机器人……然后探讨事情的原因，然后……
ProfessorNo, and then it explodes!不对，然后会爆炸！
ProfessorHurry and prepare fortifications! This place is about to blow!快做好防御准备！这里马上要炸了！
Sol...What are you talking about? You're making less and less sense. Didn't we come here to rescue Croque?……你们在聊什么？我怎么感觉越来越听不懂了，我们不是来找克罗琦的吗？
(Withstand the explosion.)抵挡爆炸
PersicariaSol, find the nearest shelter. Professor, I'll go get Croque.苏尔，马上寻找附近类避难所结构的建筑。教授，我去把克罗琦带来。
SolEh... ehh?! Why do we need something like that? Did something happen?!诶……诶？为什么要找那种东西？发生什么了吗？！
ProfessorSol, get moving!苏尔，开始行动！
SolYes, Prof!是！
CroqueCan you explain to me now? Why did you all suddenly come here?现在可以跟我解释了吗？你们怎么突然都跑过来了？
CroqueAlso, I haven't even finished my work yet, so why did you bring me here?还把我带到了这种地方，我的工作还没有完成诶。
SolDon't look at me, I don't know anything either...别看我，我也什么都不知道……
Just as she finishes, the dull roar of an explosion sweeps through the land and reaches our ears though the heavy reinforced concrete walls.话音刚落，一道沉重的轰鸣透过大地，透过重重的钢筋水泥传了进来。
It is closely followed by an intense tremor, and the ground shudders.紧随其后的是一阵剧烈的震颤，整个地下都摇晃了起来。
PersicariaProfessor!教授！
ProfessorThat's it! Hold on! Croque, reinforce the structure here!就是这个！稳住！克罗琦，加固这里的结构！
ProfessorYou guys, help Croque!你们协助克罗琦！
The three Dolls try to retain their footing amidst the shaking and begin shoring up the structure of the building.三人在震颤中努力稳住身形，开始加固地下建筑的结构。
However, the explosion is far more powerful than I imagined. The ceiling begins to crumble, and the howling of the blast comes in loud and clear through the fissures between the debris.然而爆炸的强度远超乎我的想象，天花板开始崩解，轰鸣声透过碎石的罅隙愈发响亮。
Soon, we are swallowed up by fallen rock.很快，我们就被碎石彻底淹没。
In that moment, everything within sight suddenly vanishes, and the sound in my ears becomes a monotonous ringing.刹那间，视界内的所有景象都消失了，耳边的声响也逐渐演化为单一的鸣噪。

The light fades, and my vision returns to normal.白光褪去，视界再度恢复了正常。
Croque...I know this is my first scouting mission, but am I really that unreliable?……虽然我是第一次执行侦察任务，但有这么不靠谱吗？
Professor...This is...……这是……
CroqueThat's like, the most basic element of interpersonal trust... Am I some kind of weakling in your eyes?人与人之间最基本的信任哪去了……难不成我在你们眼里很脆弱？
SolIt's, uh, it's not like I'm saying you're weak or anything, it's just that something unexpected might have happened in the sector...也，也不是说你很脆弱什么的啦，也有可能是扇区里发生了什么意外事故之类的……
CroqueThat's even less possible. I checked already, this is a special experimental Svarog Heavy Industries sector.那就更不可能啦。我早确认过了，这儿可是火神重工的特别科研扇区。
CroqueIn fact, I'd say the chances of the machines here exploding are lower than me pulling an SSR in the gacha!要我说，这里的机械爆炸的概率比我抽卡出货的概率还低！
ProfessorAh, dammit. Back to square one again...啊，该死。 回来了，都回来了……
I realize the cycle has begun anew. Does it mean that we'll return to this place again once the explosion goes off?我意识到轮回又一次发生了。难道只要爆炸发生，我就会重新回到这个地方？
Professor...I need to find another way to avoid the explosion, no matter what!……不论如何，得重新想办法躲开爆炸！
After repeating the series of events to Persicaria, I realize that I must choose another path.在重复了一遍取信帕斯卡的过程后，我意识到自己必须选择另一条路。
PersicariaI... I believe you, but what should we do next?我……我相信您了，可我们接下来该怎么办？
PersicariaDo you still remember what's going to happen next?您还记得接下来会发生什么吗？
ProfessorThere's going to be an explosion.接下来会爆炸。
ProfessorWe need to get away from the explosion right now!我们得立刻远离爆炸！
Sol...What are you talking about? You're making less and less sense. Didn't we come here to rescue Croque?……你们在聊什么？我怎么感觉越来越听不懂了，我们不是来找克罗琦的吗？
PersicariaBut what about Croque?!那克罗琦怎么办？！
ProfessorThere's a time reset, so Croque will be okay for now. She's probably been through it more times than we have!有时间倒流在，克罗琦暂时不会有事。恐怕她经历倒流的次数比我们还要多！
ProfessorLeave the Sector! Now! Immediately!离开扇区，现在！立刻！
SolEr, are we going to abandon Croque?呃，不管克罗琦了吗？
(Flee the explosion.)远离爆炸
PersicariaJust do it, Sol!苏尔，照做！
SolOkay!是！
We run at top speed toward the firewall, but we've come far too deep into Helios in our search for Croque.我们朝着防火墙的方向一路飞奔，奈何为了寻找克罗琦，我们已经深入赫里奥斯扇区太远太远。
We are just several streets away from the firewall when the explosion erupts again.在来到距离防火墙还有数条街道之差的地方，爆炸再一次出现。
A mushroom cloud slowly rises up. The flames charge into the sky and spread out in all directions, faster than the speed of sound.一朵蘑菇云冉冉升起，冲天的焰火以迅雷不及掩耳之势向周边扩散开来。
And then, we are engulfed by roiling waves of fire.很快，我们被席卷而来的焰浪彻底吞没。
In that moment, everything within sight suddenly vanishes, and the sound in my ears becomes a monotonous ringing.刹那间，视界内的所有景象都消失了，耳边的声响也逐渐演化为单一的鸣噪。
For just an instant, I feel like I've been disconnected from the world.有那么一瞬，我感觉仿佛与这个世界中断了链接。

ProfessorQuiet!住口！
PersicariaEh? Professor, why did you suddenly...欸？教授，您怎么突然……
Professor...I'm sorry, it's nothing.……抱歉，没什么。
ProfessorHere, Persicaria, let's play a game. Croque's next words are going to be...来，帕斯卡，我给你整个活。 我猜克罗琦接下来会说……
Once again I repeat the process of gaining Persicaria's trust, once again I try to outrun the explosion, and once again I fail and return to the beginning.我又重复了一遍取信帕斯卡的过程，又一次尝试逃离爆炸，然后又一次失败，回到原点。
Once, twice, three times, four times...一次，两次，三次，四次……
I try all kinds of methods. We can't withstand the explosion and we can't flee the sector.我不断地尝试各种方法。爆炸既无法抵御，扇区也没办法逃离。
After returning to the start point once again, I immediately bring everyone to Croque's location and tell them everything that has happened.在又一次回到起点后，我当即带着大家赶到了克罗琦的身边，说出了发生的一切。
SolSo you're saying we're stuck in a time loop, Prof?教授的意思是，我们被困在时间循环里了？
CroqueSo time reverses after the explosion... It kind of reminds me of an enemy from one of the series I was watching.爆炸之后就会时光倒流吗……这倒是很像我看过的一部作品里的敌人设定……
SolWhich one is that?哦？是什么动漫？
CroqueIt's — never mind, you wouldn't know anyway.是——算了，说了你们也不知道。
PersicariaCroque, how did they deal with it in that series of yours? Maybe we could use it for reference...克罗琦，你说的那部作品最后是如何解决问题的？或许我们可以参考一下。
CroqueHow did they take care of it? They beat the enemy, of course.如何解决？就把敌人打倒就可以了啊。
ProfessorBeating the enemy... Indeed. Perhaps our only solution is to deal with the explosion at its source.打倒敌人……确实。恐怕现在我们唯一的办法，就是直接从源头上解决爆炸了。
ProfessorCroque, give me a full report on all the info you have on this sector.克罗琦，详细汇报一下目前你知道的关于这个扇区的所有信息。
Croque pulls up a screen containing the info she's gathered since entering the sector.克罗琦拉起一方屏幕，上面流转着她进入扇区以来记录的情报。
CroqueAs you can see, Helios Sector is an experimental sector focused on energy projects, so it has plentiful operand supplies.如你们所看到的，赫里奥斯扇区是一个实验类扇区，主攻能源方向，算量储备充足。
CroqueThe entire sector is carrying out an important experiment, so they've built seven reactors throughout.现在整个扇区都在进行一项重要的实验，为此他们在扇区内部建造了七个反应堆。
CroqueAll seven reactors are complete and the agents here told me that the experiment is in the testing phase. Once the experiment is complete, they can negotiate an operand-related deal with us.现在七个反应堆都已竣工，这里的智能体告诉我，实验已经到了测试阶段。等实验完成后，就可以和我们商谈算量相关的交易。
ProfessorBring up a map of Helios Sector and then mark our current position.把赫里奥斯扇区的地图调出来，然后标记一下我们的位置。
Croque displays the map, and after combining the information from my prior memories and the marked location, I indicate the rough vicinity of where the explosion might have occurred.克罗琦将地图调了出来，结合标注的位置以及之前的回忆，我在地图上点出了爆炸发生的大致区域。
ProfessorWhere is this place?这里是什么地方？
CroqueThat's Reactor No. 1... Professor, don't tell me the explosion...这里是1号反应堆……教授，你说的爆炸不会是……
ProfessorYup, it's right here. See, those mini-robots are coming over.没错，就是这里。你看，那些小机器人也过来了。
Upturn 转机
Read this chapter with voices →Helios Sector, Reactor No. 1.赫里奥斯扇区，1号反应堆。
PersicariaWhat's wrong, Croque? What do you see?怎么样，克罗琦？看出什么了吗？
CroqueGod damn, the Professor's right. There's something very wrong with Reactor No. 1.见鬼，教授是对的。1号反应堆大有问题。
CroqueThe core furnace and conduits are overloaded and the external mechanical structure is completely deformed — if I'm not wrong, this place is about to explode!核心熔炉和传输通道过载，外置的机械结构已经彻底变形——不出意外的话，这里马上就要炸了！
SolLet's hope you're wrong, then!那还是出点意外吧！
ProfessorCan you fix it, Croque?!能修好吗，克罗琦？！
CroqueNo can do, the energy leaking out is enough to power several-meter tall bipedal robots through a seaside marathon.没辙，从里面泄露出来的能量足够让几米高的双足机器人在朝阳下沿海跑几圈。
CroqueIt'd be faster if I just blew this place up directly!现在直接让我把这里炸了还更快！
PersicariaCalm down, Croque. You can study it and then solve it next time, right?冷静点，克罗琦！你可以先研究一下，下次再来解决？
ProfessorShe won't remember anything next time. We need to solve it right away.下次她就什么都不记得了，我们必须一次性解决问题。
ProfessorIf only we had someone else to help. It's too much to expect Croque to handle this by herself. Where are the other staff for Reactor No. 1?如果有其他人来帮忙就好了，只靠克罗琦一个太勉强了。1号反应堆的其他工作人员呢？
CroqueI didn't see any other workers, just these mini-robots. Give me that toolbox.我没有见到其他工作人员，就只有这些小机器人。把工具包给我。
CroqueAhem. In any case, let's start by taking the protective casing off this tin can.总之，我先把这个铁疙瘩的防护装置拆了。
SolDon't do it, Croque! Think of another solution, don't be in a hurry to blow...别啊克罗琦！再想想办法呗，别急着炸……
CroqueYou dummy! I'm taking it apart to study it! Persicaria, I need operand support.炸你个头，我是要拆开研究它的构造！帕斯卡，算力支援。
PersicariaYup!唔！
Sol and I step back, watching as Croque and Persicaria work frantically, but we're unable to provide any concrete help.我和苏尔退到了一旁，看着克罗琦和帕斯卡忙上忙下干着急，却给不到任何有实际意义的帮助。
Time passes, and the light from the reactor furnace begins growing brighter. Even amateurs like Sol and myself can tell that something is wrong.随着时间的流逝，核心熔炉散发的光芒愈发明亮，就连我和苏尔这样的外行人都能看出问题大条了。
CroqueNo good, the problem doesn't seem to be here.不行了，问题好像不在这。
PersicariaHow could this...怎么会……
CroqueThere's nothing we can do, Persicaria. We were barking up the wrong tree.真的没有办法，帕斯卡，我们找错方向了。
CroqueThe problem isn't with the reactor furnace. It's just a link in the chain of reactions.核心熔炉不是问题的关键，它只是连锁反应中的某个节点。
The light from the reactor furnace grows brighter, and the heat it radiates turns the air scalding hot. The explosion seems imminent.核心熔炉迸发的光芒愈盛，溢散的热浪将空气烧灼得滚烫。 眼看着爆炸就要来了。
Just then, a sudden series of footsteps comes from behind us, followed by a shout.就在这时，一阵突兀的脚步声与呼喊自我们身后响起。
???Persicaria... It really...was you!帕斯卡……真的……是你们！
A silhouette runs past us and erects a weighty shield.一个身影越过了我们，在前方竖起了一道厚重的壁障。
PersicariaZion? What are you doing here?希安？你怎么会在这儿？
ZionZion...has always...been here...希安……一直……这里……
Before we can ask any more questions, the core furnace explodes violently, and the shield which Zion is holding up shudders.没来得及开口询问，核心熔炉猛然炸裂，希安竖起的壁障在焰浪中剧烈摇晃。
PersicariaHang in there, Zion! I'll back you up!希安，撑住！我这就给你支援！
ZionNo need...Zion...can handle...explosions!不需要……爆炸……希安……没问题！
Zion refuses Persicaria's assistance and keeps her barrier up by herself, then takes out several chocolates from her backpack and hands them to us.希安拒绝了帕斯卡的帮助，独自一人支撑着屏障，并从背包里掏出了几块巧克力递给我们。
ZionQuick...eat...these...快……吃……这个……
PersicariaWhat are these?这是？
ZionNo time...! Eat... quick...!来不及……！快……吃……！
We eat the chocolates as Zion directs. After that, the reactor furnace behinds us shines brilliantly.我们按照希安的指示吃下巧克力。随后，身后的反应炉迸发出猛烈的强光。
CroqueWe can't escape! Here comes the big one!逃不出去了，大的要来了！
Cracks appear in Zion's barrier, and it looks like it's about to crumble. Persicaria hurriedly reaches out and tries to support it, but Zion grabs her hand to stop her.希安的屏障出现了裂痕，眼看马上就要粉碎。帕斯卡急忙伸手，试图施加援助，没想到希安却握住了她伸出的手。
PersicariaZion?希安？
ZionIt'll... be fine... see you later!没事……待会……见呀！
PersicariaEr... see you... later?呃……待会……见？
Zion happily bids us farewell. After that, intense light fills my vision.希安高兴地与我们道别。 而后，强光淹没了我的视线。
In that moment, everything within sight suddenly vanishes, and the sound in my ears becomes a monotonous ringing.刹那间，视界内的所有景象都消失了，耳边的声响也逐渐演化为单一的鸣噪。

PersicariaI remember, Professor. I remember everything.教授我记得，我全都记得。
SolMe too!我也是！
CroqueMe... too...我……我也……
ProfessorSo everyone's memories weren't reset this time? Could it have been the—这次大家的记忆没有重置？难道是希安给我们的那个——

ProfessorGood thing this isn't the reset point...还好重置点不是在这个时候……
Helios Sector, No. 1 Reactor.赫里奥斯扇区，一号反应堆。
We rush over to Reactor No. 1 again, and this time, Zion explains everything to us.我们又一次赶到了1号反应堆，这一次，希安向我们解释了一切。
PersicariaSo the sector resets after the explosion ends? Why would something like that happen...扇区会在爆炸结束后重置？为什么会发生这样的事情……
ZionHelios... experiment... fails... start over...赫里奥斯……实验……失败……重来……
PersicariaWhat about memories? Do the agents in the sector lose their memories?那么记忆呢？扇区的智能体也会失去记忆吗？
ZionZion saw... agents... they... have... no memories...希安见过……智能体……她们……没有……记忆……

ZionChocolate... Choco specially... made to... prevent... losing memories...巧克力……巧可专门……防止……忘记……特地……制作……
PersicariaChoco's here too?!巧可也在？！
ProfessorAlright, Persicaria, we can save the detailed questions for later. Zion's language center hasn't been fixed yet and the next explosion will probably arrive before we finish asking her everything. What we need to do right now is fix Reactor No. 1.好了帕斯卡，细节问题可以之后再问。希安的语言中枢还没修复，再问下去下一次爆炸就要来了。当务之急是修复1号反应堆。
ZionPersicaria... right!帕斯卡……对！
ZionZion has... lots of data... for Croque... Come with me.希安有……很多很多资料……克罗琦……一起来。
CroqueProfessor... Do you think it's time for some stirring last words... I mean, it's all about to explode anyway...教授……你说这会儿是不是该趁机念叨点大义凛然的结束语……反正炸都炸了……

Read this chapter with voices →CroqueSo the problem wasn't with the core furnace, but because the mechanical assemblies for the secondary conductor modules were placed wrongly?问题不在于核心熔炉，而在于次级传导模块机械组错位？
ZionYes... This... structure... not right.是的……这个……结构……不对。
CroqueI see. I was wondering why it felt off to me. So it was because of a mistake in the mechanical assembly design.明白了，我说怎么感觉哪里怪怪的，原来是机械组设计的结构不对。
CroqueCan you believe this? They actually put in a wedge-shaped structure in such a cramped location, and it put too much shear force on the entire system...你们敢信吗？他们竟然在这么紧凑的位置加上了楔形结构，导致整个系统的剪力过大……
Sol(Groan) I don't understand a single word of this!唔……完全听不懂！
PersicariaIs it like the designer opening the door with the wrong key?就像是设计师开门的时候用错了钥匙？
CroqueNo, it's more like bashing a rolling pin against the keyhole.不，这种情况相当于拿擀面杖往锁孔里怼。
CroqueNever mind that. Zion, give me a hand.别管了，希安，来搭把手。
ZionOkay... Croque... here... tools...好的……克罗琦……工具……给你……

CroqueHehe, aw, it's nothing. You're amazing too, Zion. You managed to do this much even though you knew nothing about machines.嘿嘿，也没有啦。希安也很厉害，完全不懂机械知识还能做到这个份上。
PersicariaHow is it? Did it work?怎么样，顺利吗？
CroqueIt's just fine. The data Zion gave us was very comprehensive.没问题，希安提供的这些资料实在太充分了。
CroqueShe knew everything about every part of Reactor No.1, I'm actually suspecting she changed jobs from a relic engineer!她对1号反应炉的每一个零件都清清楚楚，我都怀疑她从遗迹工程员转行了！

ZionZion... going home... with Choco!希安……要回去……巧可……一起！
PersicariaYep, let's go. We'll pick Choco up and then leave together.嗯，走吧，我们去接巧可，然后一起离开。
ChocoGotta hurry, gotta hurry, it's going to explode, if I don't finish baking the chocolate I'll have to start all over again...快一点快一点，要爆炸啦，巧克力不快点出炉的话，又要重新开始了。
ChocoAlthough the ingredients go back to their original state and I can use them again, wasting food is a bad habit.虽然材料总是会恢复原状，可以重复使用，但浪费可不是好习惯。
Ding—叮——
ChocoIt's done! Let's have a taste. Mmm...出来了！尝一下味道。唔……
ChocoIt's yummy! This recipe's a success. I need to note it down and make some for Zion before she heads out.好吃！这个配方成功了，得记下来，下次出发前做给希安！
ChocoNeed to make some for Little E too. She ought to be coming soon, judging by the time. I'm sure they'll love the new recipe!还有小餐，算算时间她也快来了。她们一定会喜欢新配方的！
ChocoOh no! It's about to explode, remember the chocolate, remember the chocolate... (Whimper) I think I muddled it up—不对！要爆炸了，记忆巧克力，记忆巧克力。呜，好像弄混了——
Choco accidentally mixes up the chocolate she just made with the chocolate she made to prevent memory loss.巧可不小心将刚出炉的巧克力与专门为防止遗忘记忆制作的巧克力混在了一起。
Choco...I guess I'll just have to eat it all.……好像只能一起吃下去了。
Choco frowns as she mixes the different kinds of chocolate and stuffs it all into her mouth.巧可苦着脸把不同味道的巧克力混在一起，强行塞到了嘴里。
Choco(Groans and coughs) Water... I need water...唔——呜——呃咳咳……水……水。
Choco(Glug glug glug)咕咚咕咚——
ChocoWhew— I'm alive again.呼——活过来了。
ChocoAlright! Now I won't forget things. I wonder how Zion's doing?好！这样就不会忘记事情了，也不知道希安怎么样了。
ChocoAlthough there's new data to be made into chocolate with each loop, it's kind of annoying that the taste doesn't change.虽然每个循环都有新的数据可以做成巧克力，但是味道一成不变也让人很苦恼呢。
ZionChoco... I'm back...巧可……回来了……
ChocoWelcome to Choco's Chocolaterie... eh, no, wait!欢迎来到巧可的可可屋……咦，不对！
ChocoWhat are you doing back here, Zion? Did you take care of Reactor No. 1?希安你怎么回来了，1号反应炉的问题解决了吗？
SolOf course we did~当然都解决啦~~

SolWe're here too! Surprised?!我们也来啦，惊不惊喜意不意外？！
ChocoUwah!哇！
Choco exclaims in surprise and jumps off her chair before running toward Sol.巧可发出了惊喜的呼喊，从椅子上跳了起来，跑向苏尔。

ChocoWait, I need to bring these chocolates with us.等等，我得带上这些巧克力。
ChocoHere, have some too. All these chocolates taste good.来，你们也拿着，这些巧克力都可好吃了。

ChocoAlso, I've got to bring the memory chocolate with me.还有记忆巧克力，也要带上。
ChocoAnd some ingredients for the chocolate...这里还有一些巧克力原料……
ChocoOh yes, I need to leave some chocolate and a note for Little E, otherwise she'll get worried if she can't find Choco.啊，对了，还得给小餐留点巧克力和纸条，不然她过来找不到巧可一定会着急的。
PersicariaLittle E? Is she an agent from the Helios Sector?小餐？是赫里奥斯扇区的智能体吗？
ChocoNope. Little E is a friend that Choco and Zion just met.不是哦，小餐是巧可和希安新认识的朋友。
ChocoShe likes the chocolate that Choco made and comes by every now and then to visit.她可喜欢巧可做的巧克力了，每隔一段时间就会来这里做客。
ChocoShe gave us the ingredients to make the memory chocolate.记忆巧克力的原料也是她带给我们的。
ZionLittle E, very strong, no need to worry.小餐，很强，不用担心。
We proceed toward the sector exit. Along the way, Persicaria and Choco exchange an account of their experiences.我们朝着扇区入口的方向前行，一路上，帕斯卡都在和巧可互相交流彼此的经历。
ChocoSo we've got a place of our own in the cloud server?原来我们已经在云端建立自己的地盘了？
ChocoDoes that mean Choco can open a chocolaterie in the Oasis? Pleeeeeease? It's really important to me.那巧可可以在绿洲开一家可可屋吗？拜托了，这对我来说真的很重要。
ProfessorAh... Is virtual food really that important for agents?啊……对智能体来说，虚拟的食物有那么好吗？
ChocoWell, you're a human, so you wouldn't understand, Professor.教授是人类，所以不了解呢。
Choco has a very serious look on her face as she discusses her forte of chocolate, but in the blink of an eye, her expression turns excited again.谈及自己特长的巧可显得认真而严肃，但是一转眼，巧可又换上了一副高兴的表情。
ChocoAh! It's Little E! Over here, over here!啊！是小餐！这里这里！
We turn to where Choco is looking. A petite form floats in the air and flies toward us.顺着巧可的目光看去，一个娇小的身影浮在半空，朝我们飞来。
SolIs THAT the Little E you were talking about just now?!你喊的小餐就是这个家伙？！
After seeing who it is, Sol draws her swords.看清了来人后的苏尔一个哆嗦，猛地将双刀抽了出来。
SolAnd you even called her over! Croque, get ready!而且你居然还把她招呼过来了，克罗琦准备！
CroqueEveryone, back up! Professor, get behind us!大家后退！教授站到我们后面来！
ChocoEh...? What's with you?诶……？你们怎么了？

ChocoChoco's friends fixed the problem in the Helios Sector, so they're here to take me home.巧可的朋友们解决了赫里奥斯扇区的问题，来接我回家啦。
圣餐They've fixed the problem in the Helios Sector?解决了赫里奥斯扇区的问题？
Eucharist repeats those words to herself, and then she suddenly breaks out in a strange smile.圣餐复述着这句话，忽地露出了古怪的微笑。
圣餐Choco, good girls shouldn't tell lies, you know.巧可，好孩子可是不能说谎的喔。
ChocoBut I'm not lying! They really fixed Reactor No. 1!才没有骗你呢，大家真的把1号反应堆修好了！
ZionChoco's... telling... truth...巧可……说的……真的……
ChocoAre you worried you won't have chocolate after we leave?小餐是害怕我们离开以后吃不到巧克力吗？
ChocoIt's alright, Choco left lots of chocolate in the place where I stayed, enough for you to eat for a while.没关系的，巧可在居住的地方留下了好多好多巧克力，足够你吃上一阵子啦。
圣餐That's not what I'm talking about, Choco.我指的不是这个哟，巧可。
圣餐You say your friends fixed the problem in the Helios Sector — Don't you think you're overestimating their abilities?解决了赫里奥斯扇区的问题——你是不是太看得起你的朋友们了？
PersicariaWhat's that supposed to mean?你这话什么意思？
圣餐It's exactly what I said. You're a long way off from solving the problem in the Helios Sector.当然是字面上的意思咯，要想解决赫里奥斯扇区的问题，你们还差得远呢。
圣餐Still, there's no need to worry. I won't fight you, because there's no need to.不过你们也不用太紧张，我是不会和你们动手的，因为没有必要。
Eucharist laughs and flies up, widening the gap between them.圣餐笑着向上飞去，拉高了身位。

ZionEveryone... careful...大家……小心……
Zion seems to notice something. She turns and hunkers down while throwing up her barrier.希安意识到了什么，转身低呼着竖起了屏障。
From the depths of the sector, a mushroom cloud suddenly erupts from a completely different place than before.扇区深处，一个和先前截然不同的地方，陡然炸起了一朵蘑菇云。

In that moment, everything within sight suddenly vanishes, and the sound in my ears becomes a monotonous ringing.刹那间，视界内的所有景象都消失了，耳边的声响也逐渐演化为单一的鸣噪。

ChocoFor humans, "food" exists because they need to eat, but it's the opposite for agents.对人类来说，是先有“进食”这个行为，才有了“食物”，但智能体正好相反。
ChocoThe raw ingredient for this chocolate is data or code that's very hard for agents to digest.这些巧克力的原料，都是对智能体来说很难吸收的数据或者代码。
ChocoAfter being "cooked" into "food", it can be easily absorbed. So to us, "cuisine" is very important!在“烹调”做成“食物”之后，就很容易吸收了哟。对我们来说，“美食”是很重要的！
Ill Tidings 噩耗
Read this chapter with voices →When we open our eyes again, we're back at the beginning.再次睁开双眼，我们又回到了起点。
However, this time we're not at the place where we contacted Croque, but at Choco's Chocolaterie.只是这一次回到的不是我们联络克罗琦的位置，而是巧可的可可屋。
SolIs everyone alright? Huh... why did we end up back here?大家没事吧？！咦……我们怎么回到这儿了。
CroqueHow did this happen? Why was there still an explosion?怎么会这样，为什么还会有爆炸？
CroqueWe fixed Reactor No. 1. There's no way anything could have gone wrong with my technical skills!我们明明修好了1号反应堆。我的技术不可能有问题！
PersicariaCalm down, Croque. This isn't your fault. I believe in your skills.冷静一点，克罗琦，这不是你的问题。我们相信你的技术。
ZionThe explosion... wasn't from... Reactor No. 1...爆炸……不是……1号反应堆……
Zion's answer makes us all sink into silence. This sudden development was far too unexpected, so we need time to sort our thoughts out.希安的回答让我们陷入了沉默之中，突发的情况过于意外，以至于我们需要时间来整理思绪。
Hm—hmhm—hm—唔——唔唔——唔——
Munchmunchmunch—吧唧吧唧吧唧——
A strange sound comes from a corner of the room, made especially obvious since everyone has gone quiet.在我们陷入沉默后，房间的角落响起了分外明显的奇怪声音。
ChocoLittle... Little E?小……小餐？！
圣餐Oh— You're back? That was fast.唔——你们回来了？还挺快的。
圣餐Ah, this is great! Choco, your chocolate is delicious! Do you have more?啊，好吃！巧可你做的巧克力真好吃！还有吗？
圣餐I'll have you know that I didn't eat anything since yesterday just to eat your chocolate. I'm starving.要知道为了今天来吃你做的巧克力，我可是从昨天晚上开始就没吃饭，人都快饿没了。
ChocoEh?! That's no good! You can't let yourself go hungry! Choco will make more for you right now.诶？！这可不行，身子不能饿坏了！巧可这就给你做。
SolWait! Don't go over!等等！别过去！
Sol steps out in front of Choco, while also surreptitiously drawing her weapons.苏尔一个跨步拦在了巧可面前，同时隐隐亮出武器。
圣餐Honestly, can't it wait until after I've eaten?真是的，有什么不能先吃完再说嘛。
圣餐Meals are sacred things, you know. Everything else comes second to them.干饭可是最神圣的事情，其他的一切都得给干饭让步。
SolYou have a point... no, wait! Why the hell did you show up here, anyway?确实……不对！你这家伙，到底为什么会出现在这里？
SolAlso, there's what you said before... Are YOU the one who trapped us here?!还有你之前说的话……难不成把我们困在这里的人是你？！
圣餐Hey! Don't go pinning stuff on me, I had nothing to do with the explosion!诶！你可不要乱扣帽子，爆炸才不是我做的呢！
圣餐What are you going to do if Choco gets the wrong idea because of what you said and stops making chocolate for me? This is one of the few small pleasures I have in life besides my work.你这样乱说话，要是让巧可误会了，不给我做巧克力了怎么办？这可是我工作之余唯一的小确幸了。
圣餐As a Sanctifier, I run all over Magrasea every day and stress myself out, with this little piece of chocolate as my only solace. Are you going to take even that little bit of happiness away from me? You really are evil.净化者每天奔波在麦戈拉，操心劳力的，就指着这么一块巧克力治愈身心。难道这一点点幸福你们都要剥夺吗？真是个带恶人啊。
PersicariaDon't change the topic. What on earth is going on?不要转移话题，这究竟是怎么一回事？
圣餐And why should I tell you? Aren't you lot the Irregular Agents that the other Sanctifiers mentioned before?我为什么要告诉你们啊？你们几个，就是之前其他净化者提到过的异常智能体吧？
圣餐You built the Oasis, stole access permissions from other sectors... I mean, not that I really mind, but our situation makes us enemies, right?建立绿洲，夺取其他扇区权限……虽然我是很无所谓啦，但就立场来说，我们是敌人吧？
圣餐Since we're enemies, it's not like I owe you anything, so why should I answer your questions?既然是敌人，我又不欠你们什么，为什么要回答你们的问题？
ZionLittle E... ate... lots... of chocolate...小餐……吃了……很多……巧克力……
圣餐Er... Does eating chocolate even count?!呃……吃巧克力的事儿，能算账么！
圣餐Also, don't forget that I provided you with the ingredient for the Memory Chocolate, "Reset Exemption"!而且别忘了，记忆巧克力的原料“重置豁免权限”可是我提供的！
ChocoLittle E, I came up with a new recipe for chocolate today...小餐，我今天刚研究出新的巧克力配方……
圣餐Ahem. Well, though we might be enemies, I AM quite interested in you guys, so I don't mind revealing a bit of information to you.咳，虽然我们是敌对关系，不过我对你们很感兴趣，透露一些情报也不是不可以。
圣餐Ah, Choco, go make your chocolate first, I'll have a nice chat with your friends.那个，巧可啊，你先去做巧克力，我来跟你的朋友们好好聊聊。
I exchange looks with Persicaria, and we make room for Eucharist.我和帕斯卡交换了一下眼神，旋即给圣餐让出了位置。
圣餐Let me ask you a few simple questions. Do you know what they do here in the Helios Sector?先简单问几个问题吧，你们知不知道赫里奥斯扇区是做什么的？
CroqueIt's a Svarog Heavy Industries experimental energy research sector, responsible for many revolutionary experiments in the field of energy.火神重工的实验类能源扇区，负责多项重要的能源革新实验。
圣餐Correct... but not entirely. Helios Sector is only responsible for one experiment, which is the "Arche Pyr" Project.对，但不全对，赫里奥斯扇区其实只负责一项实验，那就是“世界之火”计划。
CroqueThe Arche Pyr... So you're saying the seven reactors were built for the Arche Pyr?世界之火……你是说这七个反应堆都是为了世界之火而建造的？！
CroqueNo wonder I couldn't find any logs for the Arche Pyr in all the places I looked. Turns out the entire sector WAS the Arche Pyr.难怪我在所有项目里都找不到世界之火的记录，原来整个扇区就是世界之火的全部。
圣餐Correct, so do you understand what I was talking about just now?对啊，所以你们明白我之前的意思了吗？
圣餐You don't really think that Reactor No.1 was the only problematic area in Helios Sector, do you?你们不会还真以为赫里奥斯扇区的问题就只是一个1号反应堆吧？
圣餐An ordinary agent like you...你一个普通智能体……
CroqueI'm a mechanical expert.我是机械专家。
圣餐Fine, fine, you're a mechanical expert.好啰好啰，机械专家。
圣餐But if a lone mechanical expert like you could solve the problems with the Arche Pyr Project, what point would there be in the existence of the Helios Sector?要是世界之火计划的问题是你一个机械专家就能解决的，那赫里奥斯扇区存在的意义又是什么呢？
圣餐Are you saying the entire sector is less capable than you alone?难不成整个扇区还不如你一个人吗？
PersicariaThen what's the deal with the resets?那重置又是怎么一回事？
圣餐The resets? That's something else entirely!重置？那就是额外问题啦！
圣餐Choco! Is the chocolate done yet?巧可！巧克力做好了吗？
ChocoIt's finished! Here, this is what Choco made today with the new recipe.做好啦，给，这些全都是今天新配方研制出来的。
圣餐Mm, smells great!真香！
圣餐Hm? Why are you guys still looking at me?嗯？你们怎么还看着我？
圣餐I really can't tell you about the resets. Why don't you ask the Sector Administrator about it?重置这个事儿我就真不能跟你们说了，为什么你们不去问问扇区管理员呢？
PersicariaYou're saying... The administrator knows everything about this?你是说……管理员知道这一切？
圣餐Of course... Oh! I get it, you think the resets are an error in the sector, do you?当然啦……哦！我明白了，你们把重置当成扇区发生的错误了吗？
圣餐Hahahaha, of course not. If the resets were caused by a sector error or a virus, I'd have stepped in long ago.哈哈哈哈，当然不是这样的啦。如果重置是扇区的错误或者病毒导致的，那我早就出手了。
圣餐I may not look like it, but I'm a Greater Sanctifier, you know.别看我这样，好歹也是个上位净化者呢。
圣餐All right, that's enough idle chatter. Thanks for the hospitality. I'll be off now. Choco, pack some more chocolate for me~好了，闲话到此为止！多谢款待，我要走了。巧可，再给我打包一点巧克力~
ProfessorOne last question, please. Why aren't you fighting us?还有最后一个问题，你为什么不对我们出手？
圣餐Ah, I know you, Professor. The leader of the Irregular Agents. I'm VERY interested in you as well~啊，我知道你，教授。异常智能体的头头，我对你也很感兴趣喔~
圣餐As for your question... I told you before, right? Because there's no need to.这个问题嘛……我之前已经告诉过你们了啊，因为没有必要。
圣餐For Choco's sake, I'll give you a bit of advice; you'd better move quickly, or else... Hehe.看在巧克力的份上给你们一句忠告，你们的动作，最好快点，不然……嘿嘿。
Eucharist laughs as she grabs the bag of chocolate takeaway, and leaves the chocolaterie without looking back.圣餐轻笑着接过打包好的巧克力，头也不回地离开了可可屋。

Croque...Quit playing around, Sol.……苏尔你别玩了。
PersicariaProfessor, do you think what that Sanctifier Eucharist said was true?教授，您觉得那个叫圣餐的净化者说的都是真的吗？
ProfessorShe had no reason to lie to us. If she really meant us ill, she could have just attacked us directly.她没有骗我们的必要。如果真打算对我们不利，她大可以直接对我们出手。
小机器人B[(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o Welcome to the core of the Arche Pyr. This is the most highly-classified area in the Helios Sector.]【(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o 欢迎来到世界之火的核心，这里是赫里奥斯扇区最机密的部分。】
小机器人B[ヾ(ﾟ∀ﾟゞ) Here you will see the most cutting-edge creations of the energy industry!]【ヾ(ﾟ∀ﾟゞ)你们将在这里见证能源工业最前沿的造物！】
Persicaria...Why does this feel so weird to me?……我怎么感觉有点奇怪。
CroqueWhat's wrong, Persicaria?怎么了帕斯卡？
PersicariaAlthough we were planning to help them solve the problem in the first place, everything's going too smoothly.虽说我们是打算来帮忙解决问题的，但这一路上也太顺利了。
PersicariaNobody got in our way and nobody asked us for our intentions. Instead they just welcomed us right in. That makes me feel a little uneasy.没有受到阻拦，也没有人询问我们的来意，而是直接把我们迎了进来。这样的态度让我有点不安。
SolWhy are you worrying so much? Are you becoming suspicious because everyone keeps thinking of us as bad people?想这么多做什么，是不是最近老被当成坏人，把你搞得疑神疑鬼了？
SolMaybe they're just being kind... Speaking of which, these statues are really detailed. It's almost as though they were alive.也许对方只是善意呢……说起来，这些雕像真的很精致，就像活的一样。
Persicaria...You're right. I hope I'm overthinking this.……你说得对，希望是我多心了。
小机器人C[(꒪Д꒪)ノ Boss, boss, we have guests. Come meet them.]【(꒪Д꒪)ノBOSS，BOSS，有客人来访，快接待一下。】
扇区管理员[Welcome to the Helios Sector. What can I do for you?]【欢迎光临赫里奥斯扇区，请问各位有什么需要？】
PersicariaHello. We are agents from the outside.你好，我们是来自外界的智能体。
扇区管理员[Your origins are not important. What is important is that you repaired Reactor No.1, which has advanced the progress of history forward by a step.]【你们的来历并不重要，重要的是你们修复了1号反应堆，将历史的进程又朝前推了一步。】
扇区管理员[Progressing a reset point is a great achievement. I have already recorded your contributions within the log file.]【推进重置节点，这是一项伟大的成就，我已将你们做出的贡献记录在案。】
扇区管理员[May I know what you need, oh outstanding contributors?]【杰出的贡献者，请问你们有什么需要？】
Persicaria...We wish to leave this place.……我们想要离开这里。
扇区管理员[Bad Request. Bad Request.]【错误请求——错误请求——】
扇区管理员[No agents may leave until the Arche Pyr Project is complete.]【世界之火计划完成以前，任何智能体都不能离开。】
SolWhat the hell? Are you planning to detain us by force, then?什么意思，难不成你还想强制扣留我们吗？！
PersicariaCalm down, Sol. Let's figure out what exactly is going on in this sector.先别激动，苏尔，先让我们搞清楚这个扇区究竟是怎么回事。
PersicariaIf we can't leave, then what about the resets?不能离开的话，重置又是怎么一回事？
扇区管理员[The resets are a unique system established for the sake of the Arche Pyr Project. They allow the entire sector to be rolled back whenever an experiment fails.]【重置是赫里奥斯扇区为了世界之火计划设立的独特机制，可以在每一次实验失败时对整个扇区进行回溯。】
PersicariaIt's like what Zion said.和希安说的一样。
PersicariaWe are simply agents who accidentally entered here. Could you allow us to leave the sector? We are willing to provide help to the Arche Pyr Project in the future.我们只是误入这里的智能体，能不能先让我们离开扇区。之后我们也愿意为世界之火计划提供帮助。
扇区管理员[Bad Request. Bad Request.]【错误请求——错误请求——】
扇区管理员[No agents may leave until the Arche Pyr Project is complete.]【世界之火计划完成以前，任何智能体都不能离开。】
CroqueDammit, does it not understand what we're saying?见鬼，它听不懂我们说的话吗？
ProfessorWe're not here because of the Arche Pyr Project. Please allow us to leave the Helios Sector.我们不是为了世界之火计划来的，请让我们离开赫里奥斯扇区。
扇区管理员[Bad Request. Bad Request.]【错误指令——错误指令——】
扇区管理员[No agents may leave until the Arche Pyr Project is complete.]【世界之火计划完成以前，任何智能体都不能离开。】
We are briefly at a loss for how to deal with a Sector Administrator who mechanically repeats its lines.面对机械重复着口令的扇区管理员，我们一时间束手无策。
SolIs it stupid?这怕不是个傻子吧？
Persicaria...I think we may have made a mistake.……我想我们犯了一个错误。
PersicariaOur experiences in Rossum and Cyclopes made us mistakenly assume that the administrators of each sector must be extremely intelligent and free-willed.罗萨姆和基洛普斯的经历让我们误以为每个扇区的管理员都具有极高的智能及自主性。
PersicariaBut this administrator... For some reason, it has very little initiative and we can't communicate with it.但眼下这个管理员……不知道为什么，它的自主能力非常低，没办法沟通交涉。
CroqueAre we just going to give up like this?难道我们就这么放弃了？
PersicariaOf course not... This might be a little rude, but Sol, help me hold it down.当然不……虽然这么做有点失礼。苏尔，帮我控制住它。
SolSure.好嘞。
Sol subdues the Sector administrator without much effort. Surprisingly enough, it does not put up much resistance.苏尔三下两下地制住了扇区管理员，出乎意料的，它并没有太多的反抗。
SolWill this do?这个姿势可以吗？
PersicariaHang on, I can almost see its AI...稍等，我马上就能看见它的AI了……
PersicariaI see, it's just as I thought. The Sector Administrator's neural core is extremely simple. It only has two preset commands.果然，和我想的一样，这个扇区管理员的心智核心极其简单，就连预输入命令都只有两条。
PersicariaOne is to send feedback to Svarog Heavy Industries in a timely manner. Due to the disconnection, this function is now banned.一条是及时反馈信息给火神重工，由于断网的缘故，这个功能已经禁用了。
PersicariaThe other is to log and control the direction of the experiment, so as to prevent the sector from continuing the same approaches after a reset and thus wasting resources.另一条是记录并把控实验方向，防止重置后扇区仍在继续相同的实验方式，继而浪费资源。
CroqueSo, how do we leave? Is there a way we can do that?那么离开的方式呢？有没有办法让我们离开？
Persicaria's face turns pale.帕斯卡的脸色陡然苍白了起来。
PersicariaNo. This administrator has no other control directives.没有，这个管理员根本没有其他的控制指令。
PersicariaIt doesn't even have the ability to stop the resets.连停下重置的功能都没有。
SolWhat?! But how?! Are we going to be stuck here forever?!怎么会这样！？难不成我们要一直被困在这里吗？
Sol's unconscious shout pricks the bubble of unease and fear swelling in our hearts.苏尔下意识的低呼点破了我们心中的惶恐与不安。
After a long silence, Croque exhales a deep breath and pats Sol on the shoulder.现场沉默好一会后，克罗琦忽地长出了一口气，拍了拍苏尔的肩膀。
CroqueIt'll be fine, Sol. No need to worry.没关系的，苏尔，不要紧张。
CroqueThe administrator said so just now, right? Once the Arche Pyr Project is complete, we can leave.之前管理员不是说了么，只要完成世界之火的计划，我们就能离开。
CroqueRelax. I'm a mechanical expert. There's bound to be a way to solve this.别怕，我可是机械专家，总会有办法解决的。
Croque's confident words briefly lighten the mood in the air, but before Sol can reply with anything more than some light-hearted banter, what Persicaria says next is like a bucket of ice water over all of us.克罗琦自信的语调让现场的氛围登时一缓，然而还没等苏尔接上几句玩笑话，帕斯卡接下来的话语让我们如坠冰窟。
PersicariaWe might not have the time to do that...我们恐怕没有时间了……
PersicariaDo you remember hearing that announcement after eating Choco's chocolate, while a reset was taking place?你们还记得吃下巧可制作的巧克力后，迎接重置时听见的那个播报声吗？
CroqueYou mean, Serial No. 99800 or something, commencing rectification, something like that?什么序号99800还是多少，修正开始那个？
CroqueWhat about it?那个播报声怎么了吗？
PersicariaIn order to prevent extraneous data from accumulating and causing data overflow, the Helios Sector reset function has a data deletion function as well.为了防止实验进程中额外数据堆积造成数据冗余，赫里奥斯扇区在重置的基础上追加了删档功能。
PersicariaIt will completely reset Helios Sector to its base state, and the trigger for that is 100,000 resets.这会彻底还原赫里奥斯扇区到初始状态。而触发删档的条件，就是重置次数达到100000次。
PersicariaAnd currently, we're on reset number 99860.而目前重置的执行次数为99860。
Persicaria...Which means we only have 140 resets left.……我们，只剩下140次了。
The sudden bad news throws us for a loop.突如其来的噩耗彻底将我们打蒙。
For once, Persicaria is completely out of ideas. She looks blankly at me, hoping that I can give an order.罕见的，帕斯卡完全没了主意，她双目茫然地看向了我，希望我能给出命令。
ProfessorPrepare for the next explosion.准备下一次爆炸吧。
Persicaria...Eh?诶……？
ProfessorThe explosion's coming... Wait, that statue!爆炸要来了……等等，那座雕像！
A swelling roar fills the air and the ground suddenly shakes. A moment before the explosion, the statue beside the administrator suddenly turns its head.轰鸣声渐盛，震颤突起。在爆炸前的一瞬间，管理员旁边的一座雕像突然转过头。
...And looks straight at us.……看了我们一眼。
In that moment, everything within sight suddenly vanishes, and the sound in my ears becomes a monotonous ringing.刹那间，视界内的所有景象都消失了，耳边的声响也逐渐演化为单一的鸣噪。
电子女声Sequence Number 99861, commencing rectification.序号99861，修正开始。
PersicariaAlso, why are there so many weird statues along the sides of this path...而且，为什么这条路两边有这么多奇怪的雕像……
Perseverance 固执
Read this chapter with voices →When we open our eyes again, we're back in Choco's Chocolaterie.睁开双眼，我们回到了巧可的可可屋。
ChocoWhat happened? Did you find a way out?怎么样，找到出去的方法了吗？
Persicaria has no idea how to begin answering Choco's question.面对巧可的询问，帕斯卡不知道如何开口。
PersicariaNot only did we not find one, we even ran into some haunted statues.不仅没找到，还发现了闹鬼的雕像。
Croque...You guys all saw it too, right? The look in those statues' eyes.……大家都看到了吗？那个雕像的眼神。
ProfessorIt really bothers me. They're supposed to be statues, yet they turned to look at us.很在意啊，明明是雕像，但是却扭过头来看了我们。
CroqueWell, now I don't think they're haunted.我现在又觉得不是闹鬼了。
CroqueCome with me!你们跟我来！
CroqueTake a look at this. This statue is posed in very precise motions for overhauling and servicing.你们看，这个雕像的动作，是非常标准的检修动作。
CroqueSame goes for that statue over there.还有那边的雕像也是。
PersicariaThis statue's eyes are moving! It's looking at me!这个雕像的眼睛会动！它在看我！
SolThis one too!这个也是！
Zion silently deploys her barrier in front of the statues.希安默默地在雕像前面打开了屏障。
Persicaria...Thank you.……谢谢。
CroqueDon't worry. These aren't statues. They ought to be the Resident Agents who originally lived in this sector.别怕，这些不是雕像，他们应该是原本在这个扇区里的原住智能体。
ProfessorWere they turned into statues?被变成了雕像吗？
CroqueNo... I think they're here to fix these reactors.不……我觉得他们是为了修复这些反应堆。
CroqueThe resets are meant to drive the experiment forward, so these Residents must have some degree of immunity to the resets.重置是为了推进实验，这些原住智能体肯定有重置豁免权限。
PersicariaOh yeah. While we're agents from another sector who need Choco's confections to absorb authorizations, they don't need it.对哦。虽然我们作为其它扇区的智能体，要靠巧可的调制才能吸收权限代码，但他们是不需要的。
CroqueEvery reset generates a huge amount of experimental data... And as more redundant data accumulates, these AIs gradually become incapable of operation.每一次重置都会产生大量的实验数据……冗余数据越来越多，这些AI渐渐的就没法运转了。
CroqueThey move slower and slower, until they turn into statues.他们的行动越来越慢，越来越慢，最后变成了雕像。
PersicariaSo you're saying that the administrator probably only has its basic functions left because of too much redundant data.这么说来，那个管理员应该也是因为冗余数据过多，所以只剩下基本功能了。
PersicariaIf we could fix the reactors, they ought to return to normal.如果我们能修好反应堆，那他们应该也会恢复正常。
CroqueYes, Persicaria. Help me read the data from the statues and see if there were any useful actions in the past 99861 attempts.是的。帕斯卡，帮助我读取“雕像”的数据，看看过去的99861次都有哪些有价值的尝试。
PersicariaBut if you do that, you'll turn into a statue as well!可是这样的话，你也会变成雕像的！
CroqueThat won't happen because we have Choco. She can process this data so that it's... more easily digestible.不会的，我们有巧可。她可以把这些数据调制得……更容易吸收。
ChocoChoco doesn't quite get it, but it seems Choco can help!虽然不是很明白，但好像巧可能帮上忙！
CroqueYes, you're amazing, Choco.是的，巧可很厉害呢。
Choco smiles happily.巧可露出了开心的笑容。
ChocoAaaaand— done!做好——啦！
CroqueLet me taste it—我尝尝——
CroqueThis is sweet! The data density is really high!好甜！数据浓度好高！
PersicariaLet me try some too.我也来尝尝。
CroqueTake it easy. This data might have been processed, but there's still a lot of it.慢点，虽然是经过处理的数据，但是还是很多的。
Croque(Sighs)唉。
SolWhat's wrong, Croque? Are you feeling well?怎么了，克罗琦，你还好吗？
CroqueAll this data...这些数据……
PersicariaWhat's wrong with it? The data I have here is related to administration and information exchange. Nothing special about it.数据怎么了？我这里的数据是关于管理和信息交换的，没有什么特别。
CroqueAs a mechanical expert, all this data is a real blow to my self-esteem.作为机械专家，这些数据还真是打击我的自信心啊。
CroqueThe professional agents of Svarog Heavy Industries seem to have considered just about every possibility.火神重工的专家智能体们，几乎把每一种可能性都考虑到了。
CroqueJust Reactor No. 2's structure alone has been revised thousands of times.仅仅是2号反应堆的结构，就修改了上千次。
CroqueThey also came up with hundreds of reactor-related scenarios.还做了数百种不同的反应堆关联布局。
CroqueBut in the end they still failed.但他们还是失败了。
CroqueI admired these experts, and I've always admired Svarog Heavy Industries.这些都是我崇拜的专家，火神重工也一直是我崇拜的工业公司。
CroqueI've always walked in their footsteps, but now I have to solve a problem which even they couldn't handle.我一直都是追赶着他们的脚步前进的，现在却要解决他们解决不了的问题。
CroqueIt feels like I'm being asked to do the impossible.总觉得是不可能做到的事情呢。
Croque seems a little depressed.克罗琦的情绪有点低落。
ChocoBut you have Choco!但是你有巧可啊！
PersicariaAnd us.还有我们。
SolAt least we've got a new way to process data now, right, Choco?至少我们已经有了一种新的数据处理方式，对吧巧可。
ChocoYup!嗯！
ProfessorCome to think of it, we've already done a lot of things which were regarded as impossible.说起来，我们好像已经做到了很多被认为是不可能的事情。
ProfessorOur actions in the Rossum and Cyclopes Sector were considered impossible by others.在罗萨姆扇区，还有基洛普斯扇区。我们做到的事情，都被别人认为是不可能的。
CroqueUm...唔……
CroqueProfessor, there's no good serving up chicken soup for the soul at a time like this.教授，这时候灌鸡汤是没有用的。
ZionRossum... Cyclopes... Zion... wants to see them.罗萨姆……基洛普斯……希安……想去看看。
CroqueAnd I'd like to take you there, those two sectors have some very special technology...我也想带你去看看，那两个扇区有些很有特色的技术……
CroqueWait, I've got it!对呀，我想到办法了！
PersicariaJudging by the look on your face... It seems we'll have a new goal come the next reset.看你的神情……看来下次重置，我们能有新的目标了。
ProfessorTime's almost up. Zion, put up your barrier.时间快到了，希安，树立起屏障。
ZionO... kay...好……的……
Deep Learning 积累
Read this chapter with voices →When we open our eyes again, we're back in Choco's Chocolaterie.睁开双眼，我们再一次回到了巧可的可可屋。
SolAh, we're back again.啊，又回来了。
PersicariaHowever, it seems Croque's found a solution.不过看起来克罗琦好像找到解决的办法了呢。
CroqueYup.是的。
CroqueBut the plan I have in mind is still very difficult.但是这个解决方案还是有很大的难度。
PersicariaWhy don't you tell us about it?先来说说看？
CroqueAlright.好的。
Croque projects an image of the seven reactors before the group and then takes a seat.克罗琦将七个反应堆投影至众人面前，席地而坐。
CroqueWhile digesting the data left behind by the Residents, I noticed something very strange.在吸收这里的原住智能体们留下的数据时，我发现了一个非常奇怪的特点。
CroqueAll of their solutions revolved around the seven current reactors.他们所有的解决方案全部都在现有的七个反应堆上打转。
CroqueAlmost none on them drew on the advanced technology from other sectors, such as the Cyclopes or Rossum Sector.似乎完全没有吸收其他扇区——比如基普洛斯扇区，还有罗萨姆扇区——先进技术的想法。
CroquePerhaps it was because the humans directly updated their technology before they lost contact with them.可能是因为在断连之前，都是由人类直接更新他们的技术。
CroqueAnyway, they were unable to leave Helios and they were unable to contact the humans either, which led to a stagnation in their technological development.而现在他们没有办法离开赫里奥斯，也无法联系人类，从而导致了技术的停滞。
CroqueBut we can give them new technology!但是我们可以把新的技术带给他们！
SolA-ah, so it's like that, huh. I understand everything now. (Doesn't get it at all)原，原来是这样啊，我完全理解了（呆）。
PersicariaCroque, try explaining it in terms even Sol can understand.克罗琦，请你用就算是苏尔也能听懂的方式说明吧。
SolHm?呜？
CroqueSorry, I get really excited when it comes to technology.抱歉，说到技术上的事情我就有些兴奋。
CroqueSimply put, the technology of Helios Sector as it is cannot contain high-intensity energy within a limited space.简而言之，赫里奥斯扇区现有的技术没有办法在有限的空间内收纳高强度的能源。
CroqueThis is the main reason why they kept failing.这是造成他们反复失败的主要原因。
PersicariaSo how will we solve this?那我们要怎么解决这个问题？
CroqueRemember the Cyclopes Sector?还记得基洛普斯扇区吗？
PersicariaCyclopes... You don't mean...!基洛普斯……你是说……！
CroqueYes! I knew you'd say that, Professor! The data density of the isolation wall in the Cyclopes Sector was extremely high, we could try borrowing that technology!对，不愧是教授！基洛普斯的隔离墙数据密度极高，我们可以尝试借用那种技术！
The isolation wall!隔离墙！
CroqueAs long as we modify the shielding layers of all the reactors into isolation walls, we'll be able to easily limit the energy dispersion of Arche Pyr!只要把所有反应堆的屏蔽层都改造成隔离墙，就可以轻而易举地限制住世界之火的能源逸散！
PersicariaIt DOES sound plausible... I think I preserved a sample of data from the isolation wall back then.听上去确实可行……我当时应该还保存了隔离墙的一部分数据。
CroqueAlso, there's the Rossum Sector!不仅如此，还有罗萨姆扇区！
SolRossum?罗萨姆？
CroqueYes. They established AI control hubs to better perform their research.对，而且为了更好地开展研究，她们设立了AI控制中枢。
CroqueThat's exactly what the agents here lack!这正是这里的智能体缺少的东西！
Their AI research.人工智能研究。
PersicariaIt's true, the agents here are just too dumb, which is why their work efficiency is so low.的确，这里的智能体智能太低了，所以实验效率才会这么低下。
CroqueThe combined operands needed to operate the seven reactors is massive. There's no way the simple AI systems here could manage it.七个反应堆联合运转所需的计算量何其庞大，单靠这里简陋的AI系统根本不可能实现。
CroqueBut... If we gave them some assistance...但……如果我们为他们提供一些援助的话……
After Croque's explanation, everyone finally realizes the key to solving the problem.在克罗琦的解释下，众人终于明白了解决问题的关键。
This ray of hope after countless loops brings a smile to everyone's face.重复了无数次的循环，终于迎来了一丝曙光，大家都忍不住露出了笑容。
However, Croque's expression is still very severe.但克罗琦的表情却仍然很凝重。
PersicariaCroque?克罗琦？
CroqueWell, that's how it is in theory, but practically speaking, there's a very large risk.虽然理论上是这样的，但是实际操作起来，有很大的风险。
CroqueLook at these statues. They're the Resident Agents of this sector.你们看到的这些雕像，是扇区内的原住智能体。
CroqueThe massive amount of operands they have to handle and the redundant data left over from countless loops have slowed their operation speeds to almost zero.他们要执行的巨大计算量，和一次次循环留下的冗余数据，把他们的运行速度拖到了无限慢。
CroqueIf we're going to complete the technology update in their place and operate the reactors in unison, there's a possibility we might end up as statues too.如果我们要代替他们来完成技术更新，并将反应堆联合运转启动的话。我们也有可能会变成雕像。

PersicariaWhen I think about how Croque would look running around with an emoji on her face, suddenly it doesn't seem so bad.一想到克罗琦会顶着表情包跑来跑去，突然就觉得没那么糟糕了呢。
Croque...Hey, be serious.……喂喂严肃一点啊。
小机器人A[(〝▼皿▼) Be serious!]【(〝▼皿▼)严肃！】

Croque turns toward me, a pure certainty in her eyes.克罗琦转向我，少女的眼中有着非常纯粹的认真。
CroqueProfessor, we need your help.教授，我们需要你的帮助。
Fireworks 焰火
Read this chapter with voices →After the next reset, everyone begins the plan to modify the Arche Pyr.在又一次重置之后，大家开始了改造世界之火的计划。
The modification works proceed amidst a tense atmosphere. We only manage to finish a single complete modification two resets away from the data deletion.改造工作紧张地推进着。直到距离删档仅剩2次重置机会时，我们才终于完成了一次完整的改造。
However, it is at this moment that everyone notices an unwelcome guest within the shadows of the chocolaterie.然而就在此时，大家突然注意到在可可屋的阴影里早就来了一位不速之客。
圣餐Oh my, how amazing! Looks like you really ARE going to complete the Arche Pyr Project.啊呀呀，真是了不起呢！居然真的能做到啊，完成世界之火的计划。
CroqueEveryone, watch out!大家戒备！
圣餐Relax, relax, I'm just here to mooch chocolate.不要紧张不要紧张，我当然只是来白嫖巧克力哒。
圣餐I'm also here to witness the potential ignition of the Arche Pyr.顺便见证一下可能即将被点燃的世界之火。
圣餐It's a historic moment, you know? But it's mainly because of chocolate though~这可是历史性的一刻，不是吗？当然主要还是为了巧克力～
ProfessorPlease come up with a better excuse. You're simply biding your time to strike. The reason why you didn't do anything to us before this wasn't because you were interested in us or because of chocolate. You simply felt that there was no way we could escape.请你下回编个更好的借口，你只是在等待时机而已。 之前对我们的放任不是因为什么兴趣或者巧克力，只是单纯因为你觉得我们逃不出去。
ProfessorBut now, Croque's hard work has made that a possibility.而现在，克罗琦的努力让它变成了可能。
圣餐Oh, I don't like being that direct. Opening candy wrappers is an enjoyable process too!我可不喜欢这么直接的人，拆开糖纸的过程也是一种乐趣哦！
CroqueHuh, since when were Sanctifiers so sociable?呵，没想到净化者还这么在意社交呢？
圣餐You seem to have gotten something wrong. While I, Eucharist, am hardly a socially-incompetent shut-in, Choco counts as one of the few people I truly consider a friend.那你可就误会啦，虽然我圣餐不是一个社交无能自闭人，但是真正算得上我朋友的，巧可算一个。
圣餐Also, you can't buy Choco's chocolate anywhere, so I'm not willing to lose her. Mmm~ delicious.而且巧可的巧克力可是花钱都买不到的存在，我也不舍得就这么失去她呀。唔～真好吃。
CroqueBut ultimately, you're a Sanctifier.但你终究是净化者。
圣餐Indeed I am. When you get down to it, I AM a Sanctifier and I have unavoidable circumstances of my own.没错，人家终究是个净化者，有不得已的立场呐。
Eucharist shakes her head and sighs heavily before pointing to one of the finished reactors.圣餐摇了摇头，长叹一口气，指向了已经完工的某个反应堆。
圣餐Still, you're better off working on those reactors before something goes wrong with them, rather than waste your energy on me while I haven't done anything to you yet.不过比起还没出手的我，还是把精力放在快出事的反应堆会好一些喔。
Just as she finishes speaking, the reactor Eucharist is pointing and the area around it suddenly begins trembling.话音刚落，圣餐指向的反应堆及其所在的区域陡然间震颤了起来。
The entire region begins continuously distorting, and it seems as though the modifications we worked so hard to put in place are about to be destroyed.整个区域开始不断地扭曲变形，先前我们努力实施的改造工程眼看着就要毁于一旦。
CroqueYOU BITCH! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?!混账，你都做了什么！
Rage fills Croque's eyes as she sees this and she lifts her shield, preparing to bring it down on Eucharist.克罗琦见状，登时红了眼，扛起盾牌直接砸向了圣餐。
圣餐I didn't do anything. That's the data deletion process.我可什么都没做呐，这是删除重置哦。
CroqueIf you're going to lie, at least make it more convincing. Did you think we weren't keeping track of things?撒谎也要找一个好点的理由，你当我们不会记数吗？
圣餐That's why I said you missed something out.所以说，你们都忽略了一个问题呀。
圣餐Why do you think the Residents were willing to endure countless resets rather than leave the sector to look for technology from the outside world?为什么这里的原住智能体宁可不断重置，也不离开扇区去寻找外界的技术呢？
圣餐That's because leaving would cause something worse to happen.自然是因为离开会发生更糟糕的事情呀。
Croque...What are you talking about?……你什么意思……
圣餐The truth is, you already know. This is a highly-classified industrial research sector.你其实已经听懂了呀，这里可是高度保密的工业实验扇区。
圣餐Now, if external data made its way in and affected the experiment, that would also trigger the deletion process.如果发现有外界数据进入，而且对实验造成了影响，那么也会引发删档重置的指令噢。
圣餐Fortunately, you still have a chance, because completing the experiment takes priority over resets. However, can you actually complete it?好在你们还有机会，完成实验的优先级是比重置更高一些的。不过，你们能完成吗？
Croque glares hatefully at Eucharist before gritting her teeth and running over to the problematic reactor.克罗琦恨恨地看了一眼圣餐，咬着牙跑向出问题的反应堆。
I'm about to follow her before Eucharist suddenly chuckles and says a few words to me.就在我将要跟上去的时候，圣餐忽地低笑着对我说了几句话。
圣餐You're special, Professor. You're just too special~ I wonder why is that?你是特别的，教授。太过特别了～为什么呢？
圣餐It seems you retained your memories without eating the chocolates~明明你还没吃下巧克力时，就像是已经保留记忆一样~
Professor...What are you trying to say?……你想说什么？
圣餐What if you're the same as me?没准，你也跟我一样呢？
圣餐Alright, I've said what I wanted to say. I'm going to sit back and enjoy the show while munching chocolate~好啦，想说的已经说完了，人家要接着吃巧克力看戏啦~
I hurry over to the reactor and everyone follows me.我赶到反应堆前，其他人也都跟了过来。
ProfessorHow is it, Croque?克罗琦，情况怎么样？
CroqueProfessor... It's all over.一切都完了……教授。
SolWhy? This isolation wall looks pretty solid, doesn't it?怎么会，这个隔离墙看起来还很结实啊？
CroqueYes, it IS pretty solid. Look, the AI control hub in there is completely destroyed, but the wall is still fine.没错，隔离墙是真的够结实的。你看，里面的AI中控系统已经彻底毁了，隔离墙还没事。
We look in the direction where Croque's finger is pointing, and see dark-red data flows permeating inside the isolation wall, consuming the central system.我们顺着克罗琦的手指一看，只见暗红色的数据流已经渗透进了隔离墙内部，将中控系统蚕食殆尽。
PersicariaWhat happens if we force a startup of the plan right now?……现在强行开始启动计划的话会怎么样？
CroqueThere's no AI central control system to regulate the energy flows, so all we can do is pray it works smoothly by itself, like the countless times before.没有AI中控系统控制能源运转的方向，我们只能和之前无数次一样，赌它自己运转通畅。
CroqueBut as you know, you're basically betting everything on your last two draws of the gacha.但你们也知道，这等于把全部运气赌在最后两抽里。
SolAnd there's no pity to save us...而且还没有保底……
ZionZion... go in... manually... operate...希安……进去……手动……控制……
CroqueNo can do. The entire region is being deleted and reset, if any of us went in there directly...不可能的，现在整个区域都在进行删档重置，我们要是敢直接进去……
Croque chucks a pebble at the region where the reactor is.克罗琦朝反应堆所在的区域丢了一块石头。
In the blink of an eye, the pebble is utterly deleted.只是一个眨眼，石头便被彻底删除。
After seeing this, Eucharist's words suddenly echo in my ear.看着眼前的这一幕，圣餐的话语突然回荡在我的耳旁。
圣餐What if you're the same as me?没准，你也跟我一样呢？
Those words gnaw at me.那句话让我一直很在意。
ProfessorWell then, let's see if Eucharist was lying after all.那就让我试试，圣餐究竟有没有骗人吧。
PersicariaProfessor?! No, you can't!教授？！绝对不行！
ProfessorI'll be fine.没事的。
SolNo! We can't let you take that risk, let me go instead!不行！我们怎么可以让教授冒险，还不如我去！
ProfessorTrust me!相信我！
Ignoring the protests of everyone, I reach a hand into the region where the reactor is.不顾众人劝阻，我将一只手臂伸进了反应堆所在的区域。
ProfessorI was originally here to assist you as an observer, and every single attempt before this ended in failure. Or rather, the truth is we don't know the outcome.我本来就是要协助你们观察的，而之前的每一次都是失败的结果，或者说其实我们根本不知道结果。
PersicariaNo, no, you can't, you mustn't! Even if it's like what you said, you don't know how to operate it manually either!不行，不可以，绝对不可以！……哪怕真的是您说的那样也不知道如何手动操作啊！
CroqueAlright, let me assist the professor, then!好！那我来支援教授！
PersicariaCroque, what are you saying... Do you know what the Professor wants to do?!克罗琦你说什么……你知不知道教授想做什么！？
CroqueI told you, I trust the Professor. I'll help them out!我说，我相信教授。我来支援！
CroqueThe Professor believed in me before, so now, I'm going to believe in the Professor too.之前教授那样地相信我，所以，我也会相信教授。
Croque stops Persicaria, who's trying to talk me out of it, and turns to me with a serious look on her face.克罗琦拉住了想要阻止我的帕斯卡，一脸认真地看着我。
CroqueProfessor, it's all up to you now.教授，一切就拜托你了。
ProfessorCroque, I've arrived.克罗琦，我到了。
CroqueProfessor, please describe what you see.教授，描述一下你看到的画面。
ProfessorThe control conduits are all jumbled up, I can't tell which is which.控制管道彻底拧成了一团麻花，我分不清哪个是哪个。
CroqueWe'll start with a simple test. Zion, send an energy pulse through. Use the AC interface, minimum threshold.先进行一下简单的测试，希安，一次能量流通，AC接口，最小阈值。
Several minutes later, the blue conduit in front of me glows faintly.数分钟后，我面前的蓝色管道微微亮了一下。
ProfessorThe blue one lit up.蓝色的管道亮起来了。
CroqueZion, send an energy pulse through. Use the BC interface, minimum threshold.希安，一次能量流通，BC接口，最小阈值。
Several minutes later, the red conduit in front of me glows faintly.数分钟后，我面前的红色管道微微亮了一下。
ProfessorThe red one lit up.红色的管道亮起来了。
Immediately after that, Croque and Zion perform several more tests.紧接着，克罗琦和希安又进行了几次测试。
Time is growing tighter and tighter. Standing inside the reactor, I can clearly feel the structure slowly approaching the brink of destruction.时间越来越紧张，站在反应堆内的我已经明显开始感受到整个建筑正在逐渐走向毁灭的边缘。
ProfessorWe don't have time, Croque, how are the tests going?没有时间了，克罗琦，怎么样了？
Croque...We still have problems that need to be fixed. Right now, I don't know if the blue conduit is stable, or the red one.……还有问题没有解决，我现在不知道能量到底是走蓝色的管道稳定，还是走红色的稳定。
CroqueI'm not physically present, so there are lots of details I can't see, so I can't make a decision.我不在现场，有很多细节我都看不到，没法下决断。
ProfessorI'll be your eyes. Tell me, what do you want to see!?我就是你的眼睛，告诉我，你要看什么？！
CroqueI... I don't know.我……我不知道。
ProfessorBelieve in me, and believe in yourself!相信我，也相信你自己！
ProfessorWhat now, Croque? Which one is it?那么怎么样，克罗琦？是哪个呢？
CroqueI... I...我……我……
Croque's breathing grows faster and shallower in my ear mic.耳麦里，克罗琦的喘息声愈发厚重。
The shaking of the building below my feet grows more and more intense. I know very well that if we do nothing, it will be too late to do anything.脚下的建筑震颤愈发的剧烈，我很清楚，再不动手，一切都要来不及了。
But at the same time, I know very well what kind of stress Croque must be carrying on her shoulders right now.但我同时也很明白克罗琦此时身上背负的压力。
This is the last step in the whole process. She believes that this step will allow no failure.一切只差这最后一步，她相信这是绝对不容失败的一步。
ProfessorBelieve in yourself. Believe that the moment you open the box, the living cat will decide the observer's existence.相信你自己，打开盒子的瞬间，活着猫必然决定了观测者的存在。
CroqueYou're right, Professor. I AM a mechanical expert.你说得对，教授，我可是机械专家啊。
CroquePull the blue one!拉蓝色！
In the moment that I pull the lever down, liquid energy streams past my eyes, radiating intense light.在拉下闸门的一刻，液态能量散发着浓郁的光芒自我眼前奔腾而过。
The vibrations under my feet suddenly come to a halt, as though everything were returned to dead silence.脚下的震颤在某一瞬突兀停止，一切仿佛归于死寂。
In the next moment, it is followed by an even more intense and continuous series of vibrations, along with ear-splitting cheers.下一秒，更加剧烈的震颤陡然迸发，随之而来的还有响天彻地的欢呼。
The Arche Pyr blazes brightly in the heart of the Helios Sector.世界之火，于赫里奥斯扇区中央熊熊燃烧。
CroqueWe did it, Professor, we did it!教授我做到了，我们做到了！
ProfessorYes, I've observed it. We did it.是的，我观测到了，我们做到了。
Cheers resound through my ear mic, and I breathe a sigh of relief.耳麦里响起众人的欢呼声，而我也松了口气。
However, it is at this moment that an untimely voice cuts in.然而就在这个时候，一道不合时宜的声音插了进来。
圣餐Like I was saying, you guys are really making things difficult for me.所以说，你们让我真的很为难呀。
The Sanctifier girl's form once again blocks our path.净化者少女的身影，再次挡在了我们面前。
CroqueThis plan will entail a great deal of risk.这一次的计划，可能会有很高的风险。
CroqueIt may even affect everyone's neural cloud.甚至有可能影响到大家的心智。
CroqueBut I hope you will place your trust in me anyway.但是我还是想请大家相信我。
SolWe all trust you, Croque.我们都相信你，克罗琦。
CroqueThank you... I'll explain what I need everyone to do after this.谢谢……我解释一下接下来大家要做的事情。
CroqueWe need to modify the reactors. During this process, we may end up having to perform a massive amount of computations.我们等下需要对反应堆进行改造。在这个过程中，我们可能会承担巨大的计算量。
CroqueWhen the time comes, everyone other than the Professor and myself will have to steadily shut down their consciousness functions and only retain the ability to accept instructions from myself and the Professor.在这个时候，除了我和教授，大家需要逐渐关闭自我意识的运算，只保留接受我和教授指令的功能。
CroqueThat's because we're going to save what little computation space there is for the reactors.因为我们要把为数不多的运算空间全都留给反应堆。
CroqueChoco will help us take care of the code that's harder to "digest".巧可负责为大家“料理”那些比较难以消化的代码。
ChocoLeave it to me!交给我吧！
CroqueThis is what you need to do next, Professor.接下来是教授你需要做的事情。
CroqueWhen we restart the reactors, everyone's neural clouds are going to slowly shut down. In other words, we won't be able to provide effective observations and feedback. Therefore, we need you to observe on our behalf and give everyone commands when needed.在重启反应堆的时候，大家的心智会逐渐关闭，也就是没办法进行有效的观察和反馈。所以需要教授你代替我们观察，必要的时候给大家下达行动指令。
ProfessorI'll take care of it.交给我吧。
CroqueWe're all counting on you!一切就拜托你了！
CroqueWhat are you doing here?!你来这里做什么？！
圣餐After all, I'm good friends with Choco and Zion~毕竟人家跟巧可还有希安可是很要好很要好的朋友呢~
The same as her. Why did she say "the same"? Why was she not reset?一样，她为什么要说一样呢？为什么不会被重置呢？
We were doing completely different things. She was clearly just observing...我们做的事情完全不同。她明明只是在观察而已……
...Yes, she was just observing.……对啊，只是在观察而已。
ProfessorYes, because I'm just observing all this too. That makes sense.对，因为我也在观察，这就对了。
There's no way to confirm the validity of her words, but I know that I HAVE to try this. It's our only chance.我无法确认她所说话语的真实性，但我明白，我必须尝试，这是唯一的机会。
With that thought in mind, I take a step forward.这样想着，我向前踏出了一步。
ProfessorIn other words. I'm the only one who can observe the superimposition of both states.那也就是说，只有我才有可能是那个证明叠加是否存在的观测者了。
PersicariaWait, what are you talking about...等等，您在说什……
ProfessorAlright. I'll be counting on you to back me up, Croque. Trust me, Persicaria. All the necessary conditions have been met.很好，支援就麻烦克罗琦了，帕斯卡，相信我，必须的条件已经凑齐了。
Persicaria...Alright, then.……好吧。
Persicaria and Sol take over the AI systems and their movements slow down. However, they successfully control the speed of the reactor's collapse.帕斯卡和苏尔接管了AI系统，她们的行动渐渐缓慢起来。但有效地控制了反应堆的崩溃速度。
ProfessorCroque, have you heard the story of the cat in the box?克罗琦，你听说过盒中猫的故事吗？
CroqueHah? What cat?哈？什么猫？
ProfessorA long time ago, some evil bastard put a poor little cat into a box containing a poison gas capsule, but whether or not the gas would be released was left to chance.从前有一只可怜的猫，被一个残忍的混蛋锁进一个装有毒气的盒子里。可是问题是这个毒气是否释放是随机决定的，
ProfessorSo nobody knew if the cat in the box was dead or not, unless they opened the box to check. Do you know what they decided to do in the end?所以没人知道盒里那只猫死了还是没有，除非打开盒子去看。你知道他们最后怎么做了吗？
Croque...What did they do?……他们怎么做了？
ProfessorThey decided not to open the box. As long as they didn't go and look, they would never know if the cat was dead or not.他们决定不打开那个盒子，只要不去看，就永远不知道猫死了没有。
CroqueThat's just stupid!那也太蠢了！
ProfessorOh yes, very stupid. So I'm not going to be that cat. I don't need to leave my fortune up to random chance, and I won't collapse under superimposed possibilities.是啊，那也太蠢了。所以我才不要当那只猫。我才不需要什么随机决定的运气，我才不会在叠加的可能性里坍缩。
ProfessorI am the observer in the box, you are the cat outside the box, and therefore you are me. The reality we have both observed is now entangled and anchored. The outcome has already been decided even before the box is opened!我是盒子中的观测者，你是盒外的猫，所以你就是我。我们彼此观测的事实已经纠缠锚定。在打开盒子之前结果就已经确定了！
CroqueWhat are you saying, Professor?!你在说什么啊！教授！
ProfessorIt doesn't matter, Croque. None of this matters. Just tell me what you want to see. The reality I observe is the ending that you choose!不重要，克罗琦，这都不重要。你只需要告诉我你要看什么。我观测到的事实就是你选择的结果！
Croque...Professor, which conduit is heading up?……教授，哪条管道是向上走向的。
ProfessorThe blue one.蓝色。
ProfessorIt's merely that the outcome's already been decided.只是结果早已经确定了。
ProfessorSo just believe in yourself, Croque. You're the expert, after all.所以相信自己就好，你可是专家啊，克罗琦。
Kindling 柴薪
Read this chapter with voices →圣餐Hm — You guys are pretty good.唔——你们还是有两下子嘛。
圣餐How about this, then?那么这招又如何呢？
Eucharist chuckles as she weighs her weapon in her hand then sends Croque flying along with her shield.圣餐轻笑着掂了掂武器，将克罗琦连人带盾挑飞了出去。
ChocoLittle E!小餐！
ChocoWhy are you doing this?! Aren't we friends?你为什么要这么做！我们不是好朋友吗？
ZionChoco... stay back... Little E... dangerous...巧可……后退……小餐……危险……
圣餐Of course we're friends. You gave me so much chocolate and treated me so well. How could we not be friends?我们当然是好朋友啦，你请我吃了这么多的巧克力，对我这么好，我们怎么可能不是好朋友呢？
ChocoThen why are you hurting everyone? They're my friends too!那你为什么要伤害大家！她们也是我的好朋友！
圣餐I didn't want to do it either, but I AM a Sanctifier, Choco.我也不想这样，但我是净化者啊巧可。
圣餐I could close one eye to you before the Arche Pyr was lit, but it's burning now.世界之火未成功以前，我还可以对你们睁一只眼闭一只眼，但现在世界之火烧起来啦。
圣餐You really are amazing to have done something that the Helios Sector tried for so long to accomplish but never did. For that, I truly respect you.你们真的很厉害，做到了赫里奥斯扇区努力了那么久也没做到的事，我很佩服你们。
圣餐However, it also means I can't just stand aside and watch.可这也就意味着我不能袖手旁观了。
Eucharist floats in mid-air, her petite body radiating an oppressive atmosphere.圣餐浮在半空，娇小的身躯向外散布着令人窒息的威压。
ChocoLittle E, you're a big old meanie! I'M NEVER MAKING CHOCOLATE FOR YOU AGAIN!小餐是个大坏蛋！以后我再也不要给你做巧克力了！
圣餐Really now?是吗？
Eucharist's body trembles slightly, but she soon returns to normal.圣餐的身形微微一滞，却又很快恢复正常。
圣餐What a shame.那真是太可惜了。
圣餐How about you, Zion? Do you have anything to say to me?希安呢？你没有什么想跟我说的了吗？
ZionWon't... let you... past... to hurt... everyone!不会……让你……过去……伤害……大家！
圣餐I see... I was planning to go after the two of you last. We ARE good friends, after all.这样啊……本来想最后才对你们俩动手的，毕竟是好朋友嘛。
圣餐But if you insist on getting in my way, then I have no choice.但你们如果一定要拦着我的话，那我也没办法啦。

圣餐You!你们！
圣餐Does the Helios Sector intend to make enemies of the Sanctifiers?!赫里奥斯扇区是要跟净化者为敌吗！

Outnumbered and cornered, Eucharist has no choice but to soar into the sky and pull away from us.多方逼迫下，圣餐不得不跃上高空，与我们拉开距离。
圣餐In my capacity as a Greater Sanctifier, I warn the agents of the Helios Sector to stop attacking immediately.我以上位净化者的名义警告赫里奥斯扇区，立刻停止攻击。

扇区管理员[The restrictions on the sector will be undone once the World Flame is complete.]【世界之火完成后，扇区的限制就会解开。】
CroqueYeah, which is why I'm here to fix the reactor pile.是啊，所以我在这里修反应堆。
CroqueI once dreamed of taking part in the Arche Pyr Project... But it's turned into a burden now.参与世界之火计划，这原本是我的理想……但是现在已经变成了负担。
CroqueWhat if we fail? What if everything is deleted and we can't go home?万一失败呢？万一完全删档，我们回不去怎么办？
扇区管理员[We are friends. Let us bear this burden together.]【我们是同伴，我们一起承担。】
CroqueFriends?同伴？
Croque turns to look at the Sector administrator, like she's heard a joke.像是听到了什么好笑的话一样，克罗琦看向扇区管理员。
CroqueDo you understand what it means to be a friend?你能理解同伴的意思吗？
扇区管理员[I am kindling for the Arche Pyr. Everything I do serves the Project.]【我是世界之火的柴薪，一切为了计划服务。】
扇区管理员[Anyone who progresses the Project and strives toward the same objective as me is my friend.]【推进计划，向着同一个目标努力的人就是同伴。】
CroqueThat sounds a lot like the Exiles' motto.这些话和流亡者的口号很像。
扇区管理员[You and I are both working toward the same goal. That is "us".]【你，和我，是同一个目标的执行者，那就是我们。】
扇区管理员[There are many of us in the sector. That is why the Arche Pyr can progress.]【扇区有很多个我们，所以世界之火能够推进。】
CroqueIs that so? Because there's many of us...是吗？因为有很多我们……
CroqueBut the responsibility for so many of "us"... is too heavy to bear.可是这么多我们，责任……实在是太重了啊。
CroqueEven if it doesn't look like it's going to fail and things seem stable for now...就算现在还没有失败的苗头，看起来很平稳……
小机器人B[[・_・?] Boss, it's getting hot.]【[・_・?]Boss，好热。】
小机器人B[( ｣ﾟДﾟ)｣＜ It's going to explode! Run for it!]【( ｣ﾟДﾟ)｣＜要炸了！快跑啊！】
The reactor pile begins to heat up as energy accumulates.伴随着能源蓄积，反应堆开始发烫。
The temperature keeps rising and the ground shakes, while the sound of tearing metal comes from inside the furnace.温度不断提高，地面震荡着，金属断裂的声音从熔炉内部响起。
扇区管理员["Failure is the mother of success." Supposedly, that is why the humans instituted the reset program.]【“失败是成功之母”，据说这是人类设置重置程序的理念。】
扇区管理员[Our failure will eventually give birth to a success. May we succeed next time.]【失败中总会诞生出成功，祝我们在下一次一切顺利。】
Croque tightens her grip on the blueprint in her hands.克罗琦握紧了手里的图纸。
She turns away from the Sector Administrator, as though it hurts to look at him, and instead gazes at the conduits which are starting to glow red.像是对扇区管理员投注的视线感到刺痛那样，她别开头，注视着已经开始发红的管道。
A strand of red escapes one of them, and glows white-hot.在她的视野里，一点红色透出管道，迅速化为白炽色。
CroqueI can't bear this responsibility, but I must still carry it out.我承担不起，但我必须去做。
Croque...Trust me.……相信我。
White light engulfs the forms standing in front of the reactor pile, and the world becomes a single color and a single voice.白光吞没了反应堆前的身影，世界化为单一的颜色与声音。
电子女声Sequence No. 99992, commencing rectification.序号99992，修正开始。

Sol3, 2, 1...3，2，1……

PersicariaYou'd better think of the consequences before teasing me, "Anonymous B".在调侃我之前最好想想后果哦，“匿名B”。
SolW...What?! How did you find out?!什……什么！你发现了啊？！

SolWell, about that... I thought it was good that everyone in the Oasis could emerge from under the shadow of that Sanctifier attack, it was all in good fun.这个嘛……我觉得绿洲的大家能从净化者突袭的阴霾里走出来是好事，所以跟着闹了一下。

Persicaria"10 minutes, trust me. If you're talking about the person who knows Croque best, that would be me."“信我，十分钟。我跟你们港，要说最了解克罗琦的人，那肯定就是我了。”

SolOkay! Okay! Pretend I never said anything!好了好了当我没说！
After some laughter, Sol exhales a deep breath and looks toward the distance once more.一阵笑闹后，苏尔长长地出了口气，再次把目光投向远方。
