阿兰

角色详情
不善言辞的空间站「黑塔」防卫科负责人。
虽然不懂科研，但为了保护珍视研究的空间站科员顺利完成他们的研究，阿兰可以拼上性命。他早已习惯疼痛，并将负伤视作勋章。
也只有抱着佩佩时，男孩才会放下戒备，露出难得一见的笑容。  

Character Details

The inarticulate head of the Herta space station's Security Department.
While scientific research is beyond his understanding, Arlan is willing to risk his life to protect the staff who value research so very much. He is used to pain and wears his scars like badges of honor.
Only when holding Peppy does the boy let down his guard and show a rare smile.

角色故事•一

如何评价阿兰在防卫科的工作？

——大哥，是指引防卫科前进的明灯，是支撑大家战斗的核心！若无大哥一日，则空间站哀鸿遍野；若无大哥十日，则空间站民不聊生；若无大哥百日，则空间站宛如炼狱！
——但他在工作时间和佩佩玩电子飞盘诶。
——因为大哥提前完成了防卫科的日常训练！目睹大哥的身姿，也是对我们的激励！
——但他在工作时间和佩佩玩电子飞盘诶。
——你怎么知道和佩佩玩电子飞盘不是大哥的工作之……

「巡逻的时候玩手机，没收。」
「不是，阿兰大哥，有人在群里说你坏话，你不管管？」
「没空。」
「啊？有紧急任务吗？我跟你一起去，发生啥了？」
「带佩佩去做复健训练，玩电子飞盘。」  

Character Story: Part I

How is Arlan's work in the Security Department?
— Brother Arlan is the beacon that guides the Security Department, the core support for everyone's battles! Without him, the space station would fall to pieces in a day. Without him, people's lives would be ruined in ten days. Without him, the station would be hellish in just one hundred days!
— But he plays holodisc with Peppy during work hours.
— Because he's finished all daily security tasks ahead of schedule! His mere presence is an inspiration to us all.
— But he plays holodisc with Peppy during work hours.
— How do you know that playing holodisc with Peppy isn't actually part of his job description...

"You're not allowed to play with your phone while out on patrol. Give it to me."
"No, brother Arlan! People are talking smack about you in the group chat! Don't you care?"
"Nope. Too busy."
"Huh, have you got an urgent mission? Let me go with you. What happened?"
"I'm getting Peppy to do rehab through playing holodisc."

角色故事•二

在艾丝妲小姐家中，怪异且贵重的东西数不胜数，一条奄奄一息的小狗反而有些惹人注目。

更何况她哭得很伤心，当父母安慰着艾丝妲，说捡来的狗多半活不长，不如给她再买一条的时候，她哭得更大声了。

而那条脏兮兮的小狗只是躺在那，甚至没力气抬起头看一眼周围的人们。哭喊、争吵、沉默，这一切都和它无关。

他一度以为它已经停止了呼吸，因此蹲下身探了探它的鼻息。突然，小狗用舌头舔了舔他的手指，这是它力所能及之下，能触碰的最远距离。

——它的舌头湿漉漉的。

「想玩电子飞盘么？」

无神的眼睛亮了起来。  

Character Story: Part II

There are countless strange and valuable things around Miss Asta's house, but it's the dog at death's door that attracts the most attention.

What's more, her forlorn cries only increase in volume as her parents attempt to comfort her — telling her that this dog she picked up won't live for very long, and they are better off buying her another one.

That filthy pup just lies there without the strength to even lift up its head and look around the people surround it. The crying, arguing, and the silence... None of this has anything to do with it.

At one point, he thinks it had already stopped breathing, so he bends down to check its nose. Just then, the dog suddenly licks his fingers — which is about the farthest distance it can stretch.

— Its tongue is wet.

"Wanna play holodisc?"

Its lifeless eyes suddenly light up.

角色故事•三

他在走廊停下脚步，望向窗外，宇宙寂静，映着他的黑眼圈。

窗上出现另一双布满血丝的眼睛，眼睛的主人比平时在科员前更放松些，漫不经心地打了个长长的哈欠。

「这么晚了，还不休息？」
「有点不放心，出来巡逻一趟……」
「我刚替防护罩更新了代码，安保系统也运转正常。」
「可能是我多虑了，但……」
「我知道。你是防卫科的负责人，我相信你的直觉。」

空间站依旧灯火通明，不分昼夜轮转，他们回到各自的岗位。

他们都明白，黑塔女士的光芒笼罩也好，空间站的防御措施也好，防卫科的日夜不眠也好，如果危机发生……

也只在刹那。  

Character Story: Part III

He stops pacing in the corridor and gazes out of the window into the tranquility of deep space, the dark circles around his eyes reflecting back at him.

Another pair of bloodshot eyes appears at the window. Their owner looks more relaxed than she usually does before the researchers, and absentmindedly lets out a huge yawn.

"You're up late. Not going to bed?"
"I'm feeling anxious, so I'm just out for a patrol..."
"I just updated the firmware for the defense shield, and security systems are all operating smoothly."
"Maybe I'm overthinking things, but..."
"I understand. You're the head of security, and I trust your instincts."

The space station remains brightly lit and operates without a stop. They each return to their respective posts.

They both know that regardless of the protection of Madam Herta's fame, the defensive measures around the space station, and the round-the-clock vigilance of the Security Department — if a disaster was to occur...

It would only take seconds.

角色故事•四

「所有人都撤离了，阿兰，赶快撤退！」
「可能还有幸存的科员。」
「没有了…已经没有其他生命信号了。」

他明白自己应该相信艾丝妲，直到他看见反物质军团正如潮水般向他涌来。监察域传来的信号微弱，艾丝妲看不到这个画面。

此刻，他正站在电梯前。这里只有他一个人，他必须做出判断，即使要反抗艾丝妲的命令——为了守护他们，不惜一切代价也要封锁电梯的权限，不能让怪物再接近主控舱段一步。

「抱歉，小姐……」

他还来不及解释，就遭到反物质军团的背后偷袭，他倒下，远程通讯随之切断。

他想起自己无论是在小姐家工作，还是前往空间站「黑塔」成为防卫科负责人，自始至终未有任何「犹豫」。因为小姐决定前往了那个方向，所以自己当然要追随着一起。这是理所应当的事。

阿兰艰难地抬起头，怪物步步朝他围拢。他也未曾反抗过小姐的命令，这是第一次。

「希望不是最后一次吧。」

他突然冒出这样的念头。

他用大剑支撑着自己的身体，缓慢地、坚定地站起身。  

Character Story: Part IV

"Everyone's evacuated. Arlan. Hurry up!"
"There may still be survivors inside."
"No... There aren't any more life signs in there."

He thought he could trust Asta until the moment when countless Antimatter Legion pawns pour towards him like a tsunami. The signal from the watcher zone is faint. Asta won't be able to see this situation.

He is now standing, alone, in the elevator. He has to make a decision, even if he has to disobey Asta's orders — No matter the cost, he has to block access to the elevator to save everyone. He cannot allow these monsters to get to the master control zone.

"Sorry, Miss Asta..."

The Antimatter Legion strikes him down from behind before he can explain himself. He falls, and his remote communications disconnects.

He had never hesitated, whether working in Miss Asta's home or after becoming Herta Space Station's head of Security Department. He had always taken for granted that, since Miss Asta decided to head in one direction, he has to follow her.

Arlan raises his head with great difficulty, and the monsters move closer to him. He had never disobeyed an order from Miss Asta before. This is the first time.

"Hopefully it won't be the last time."

This thought pops up in his head.

Propping himself up with his greatsword, he slowly and firmly stands up.

角色故事•一

「██年██月██日 天气：非常好 心情：非常不好」

「今天，我打破了老巫婆的一个 式管 试官 试管，被批评了一顿。」

「老巫婆好凶！她总是不让我们中午一起玩，只能睡午觉，太讨厌了！」

「我们应该反抗她的 抱正 抱政 饱政 暴政！不能让她 为为所所 为所为欲 为所欲为！」

「我要成立一个『鼹鼠党』，把诊所里的小朋友全都 抓 逮捕 要请 邀请进来！一起反抗那个老巫婆！然后，我们就一起吃好吃的、玩好玩的，没有人可以阻止我们！」

「我就是这个鼹鼠党的老大！还有，是诊所的老大！我要每天狠狠批评老巫婆，还要让她每天做 清务 家洁 清洁！哈哈哈哈哈！」  

Character Story: Part I

"██/██/██ Weather: Fine Mood: Very bad"

"Today, I broke one of the old witch's Tesh Stubes Tech Tubes Test Tubes, and got chewed out."

"The old witch is terrible! She never lets us play together during lunch, and only lets us take a nap. I hate her!"

"We should rebel against her tarany— terrany— tarreny— tyranny! We can't let her get away— gator way— get her way!"

"I'm gonna make a gang called 'The Moles', and grab kidnap envit invite all the kids from the clinic! We'll take down the old witch together! And then, we can eat whatever we want and have fun — and nobody can stop us!"

"And I'll be the boss of The Moles! And the boss of the whole clinic, too! I'll give that old witch a nice talking-to every day, and make her do all of the choars choors chores! Muahaha!"

角色故事•二

「██年██月██日 天气：好冷 心情：很开心」

「今天，我去了『机械 木 慕 墓场』，想要找一个合适的兵器。作为老大，必须要有一个厉害的兵器！」

「我在那里认识了一个女孩子。她比我大几岁（但我还是老大！），穿着一件很漂亮的红色外套，但是没有穿鞋子。我不知道她为什么不穿鞋子，我觉得那样会很冷！可能她不会觉得很冷吧。」

「她的头发是白色的，就像雪一样，非常好看！我也想有白色的、长长的头发。」

「她很害羞，一开始不敢和我说话。但是没关系！我 超级喜欢说话 超级会交朋友！我和她聊天，聊了很久。我知道了她叫克拉拉，而且，她的爸爸原来是一台好大的机器人！」

「她的爸爸很帅气，但是没有费斯曼老爹帅气！我和她成为了好朋友，她还帮我找到了很厉害的『洞洞机』！她现在是鼹鼠党的荣誉队员啦！」  

Character Story: Part II

"██/██/██ Weather: Freezing Mood: Very happy"

"Today I went to the machine garv gravy graveyard to find a suitable weapon. As the boss of The Moles, I've got to have a great weapon!"

"I met a girl there. She was a few years older than me (but I'm still the boss!) and was wearing a pretty red coat. But she had no shoes on. I don't know why she had no shoes on, since that's gotta be very cold! Maybe she wasn't feeling very cold though."

"Her hair was white like snow, and it was pretty! I want white hair too. Long and white hair."

"She was very shy, too shy to talk to me at first. But that's cool! I super love talking and super love making friends! I chatted with her for a long, long time. I know her name is Clara, and her dad is a super big robot!"

"Her dad is really cool, but not as cool as daddy Fersman! She is my friend now and she helped me find a really strong Diggertron! She's now an honorary member of The Moles!"

角色故事•三

「██年██月██日 天气：还是好冷 心情： 不好 普通」

「今天，阿丽娜的爸爸妈妈来看她了。阿丽娜很开心，看到阿丽娜这么开心，我也很开心。」

「我想起了爸爸妈妈，我已经好久都没有见过他们了！虽然费斯曼老爹对我非常非常非常好了，但我还是好想爸爸妈妈！」

「晚上，老爹又给我解释了一遍爸爸妈妈回不来的原因。但其实我都记得…因为老爹已经讲过好几次了！」「我发现，老爹最近好像很容易忘记自己说过的话！我去问了娜塔莎姐姐，她说这是因为老爹年龄太大了。我又问她，能不能帮老爹治病。但是，她说自己也没有办法治好老爹的病，还对我说了对不起。」

「我想，肯定是老巫婆觉得我最近表现不好，所以才骗我！她可是镇上最厉害的医生，什么病都会治，怎么可能治不好老爹的病呢？」

「好吧，我决定，只要老爹讲过一次的话，我全都要替老爹记下来！因为我可是最厉害的鼹鼠党的老大呀！」  

Character Story: Part III

"██/██/██ Weather: Still freezing Mood: Bad Normal"

"Today, Alina's mom and dad came to see her. Alina was very happy and seeing her like this made me happy too."

"I thought of mom and dad. I haven't seen them for a very long time! Even though daddy Fersman is very, very kind to me, I still miss my mom and dad!"

"In the evening, daddy explained to me again the reason why mom and dad couldn't come back. But I actually remember anyway... Because daddy has told me so many times!"

"I found that daddy is always forgetting things recently! I asked Natasha, and she said it's because daddy is getting too old now. Then I asked her if she can help fix daddy's sickness, but she said she can't, and even apologized."

"I think the old witch is lying to me just because I've been a little bit naughty recently! She is the bestest doctor in our town, and can fix everything, so why can't she fix daddy?"

"Fine. I've decided that I'll write down anything that daddy said! Because I'm the big bad boss of The Moles!"

角色故事•四

「██年██月██日 ，地点：诊所，与虎克谈心，内容记录如下：」

「费斯曼老爹很早之前就是爸爸妈妈的好朋友。那时候，我们住在北方的一个小镇上。有一天，妈妈去了裂界里，再也没有回来。妈妈最喜欢吃岩烧洞螈了。爸爸很想她，所以每天都给我做岩烧洞螈吃。」

「后来有一天，当我回家时，我看到爸爸躺在床上，看起来很难受。我急哭了，赶紧去找住在隔壁的费斯曼老爹。他说爸爸是生病了，就带着爸爸和我去找镇上的医生。」

「我们陪着爸爸在医生那里住了好几天。最后，钱全都快花光了，但爸爸偷偷对我说，让我把钱存着，他觉得那里待着不舒服，想要回家。于是我就去找老爹，想要把爸爸送回家。结果，我和老爹回来的时候，他就不说话了。」

「老爹一直跪在地上哭，可我不明白怎么回事。老爹解释说，是爸爸太想妈妈，就在梦里去找妈妈了。我问老爹，他什么时候会醒。老爹就只是一直哭，没有回答我……」

「虎、虎克才没哭呢！不用…娜塔莎姐姐…不用给我纸巾……」

「…其实，我后来偷偷问了医生。我知道，爸爸其实是死了，永远不会回来了，妈妈也一样…我知道，老爹是不想让我伤心，所以才一直对我说谎……」

「我知道，老爹是世界上最好的人，我也最喜欢老爹了……」

「所以，我要和大家一起找到宝藏，然后给老爹盖一间大房子，还要帮老爹把病治好！」  

Character Story: Part IV

"██/██/██, Address: The clinic. Had a heart-to-heart conversation with Hook. The contents are as follows:"

"Daddy Fersman was once a very good friend of mom and dad's. Back then, we all lived in a small town in the north. One day, mom went into the Fragmentum, and never came out again. Mom loved eating stone-grilled olm. Dad missed her so much that he made me stone-grilled olm to eat every day."

"Then one day when I came home, I saw dad lying on the bed looking very uncomfortable. I bursted into tears, and went to find daddy Fersman next door. He said dad was sick, and he took dad and me to see the town doctor."

"We stayed with dad at the doctor's place for several days. In the end, we almost used up all our money. Dad secretly told me to save the money. He also told me that he was uncomfortable staying there, and wanted to go home. So I went to daddy and told him I wanted to go home with my dad. But when daddy and I went to see him, he stopped talking."

"Daddy was on his knees and crying, but I didn't understand what was going on. Daddy explained to me that dad missed mom so much that he went to see her inside his dreams. I asked daddy, when will my dad wake up? Daddy just kept crying though and didn't answer me..."

"I didn't — didn't cry! No... Natasha, I don't need any tissues..."

"...Actually later I secretly asked the doctor something. I know that my dad is dead and won't come back forever, and mom is the same... I know that daddy doesn't want to make me sad, so he keeps on lying to me..."

"I know that daddy is the very best person in the whole world, and I like daddy the most..."
"So that's why I want to find lots of treasure with everyone, so we can build daddy a nice big house and help fix daddy!"

角色故事•一

「——日志 筑城纪元████年██月██日。」

「在磐岩镇东南方向的垃圾填埋场中发现一人类幼年女性。」

「经扫描，未见该幼童存在任何机体组织结构破坏或功能障碍，但精神状况较不稳定，对沟通自身状况一事表现抗拒，回避倾向明显。」
「继续尝试与其交流，成功获得部分信息。」
「幼童开始哭泣，长达三小时零七分。」

「该幼童名为克拉拉，身世不明。」
「结论：将其带回基地观察，进一步收集相关信息，以便生成后续处置方案。」  

Character Story: Part I

"— Log ██/██/████ AF."

"A female child discovered in a landfill to the southeast of Boulder Town."

"Scans show the child has no structural damage or functional issues, but her mental state was relatively unstable. She is resistant to questions about her condition and clearly wanted to avoid the subject."
"I have continued attempting to communicate with her, and successfully obtained some information."
"The child begins to cry, lasting three hours and seven minutes."

"The child's name is Clara. Her background is unknown."
"Conclusion: Take her back to base for observations, and collect further information to generate a follow-up plan to take care of her."

角色故事•二

「——日志 筑城纪元████年██月██日。」

「克拉拉已能够熟练使用贝洛伯格通用语言，并在机械工程学科领域方面表现出卓越天赋，但克拉拉仍抗拒与其他人类进行交流。经评估，此种人格倾向不利于克拉拉在贝洛伯格的长远发展。」

「目前亟需为克拉拉拟定合适的社会交际教育方案，其优先级置为：高。」

「——日志 筑城纪元████年██月██日。」

「克拉拉成功与磐岩镇中同龄个体进行接触。本次接触对象名为虎克，自称来自磐岩镇当地的治安组织『鼹鼠党』，身份为总负责人——在本机数据库中未见该社会组织及其相关信息。」

「克拉拉与虎克的接触起初不太顺利，表现出了相当的羞怯情绪。但对方成功以极端的热情与同理心成功打开局面，并称其为『鼹鼠党的荣誉队员』。交流结束后，克拉拉将虎克描述为『第一个好朋友』。」

「此事对克拉拉而言意义重大，已将本日志归档为『重要』。」  

Character Story: Part II

"— Log ██/██/████ AF."

"Clara has grown proficient in the Belobog common tongue, and displays great talent in the field of mechanical engineering — but she still resists communication with other humans. Assessment: this tendency is detrimental to Clara's long-term development in Belobog."

"There is currently an urgent need to develop a suitable socialization and communication program for Clara. Priority: High."

"— Log ████/██/██ AF."

"Clara has successfully made contact with an individual of similar age in Boulder Town. The individual is named Hook, and claims to be the head manager of the local security organization The Moles. No information about this organization has been found in my database."

"Clara's contact with Hook didn't go well at first. She displayed considerable shyness. However, Hook managed to keep the conversation going with extreme enthusiasm and empathy, calling Clara an 'honorary member of The Moles.' After contact, Clara described Hook as 'her first friend.'"

"This matter is of tremendous significance to Clara, and this log has been tagged Important."

角色故事•三

「——日志 筑城纪元████年██月██日。」

「在克拉拉的指引下，已有为数众多的流浪者在本基地周围建立聚落，并依靠克拉拉的救助维生。这一行为与『存护』之指令并不相悖，然而，其中有许多人试图通过本基地的运输通道进入上层区。为此必须将基地大门封闭，以避免加剧贝洛伯格的灭亡进程。」

「克拉拉曾就此事与我发起讨论：她认为封闭大门这一行为是『无法理解』的。对此，我已告知演算结果：大守护者将过多资源投入到对裂界的战事上，这一行为反而会加速上层区的覆灭；对于下层区而言，与之隔绝将是最好的选择——下层区人民将因此争取到更多存活的时间。最终，克拉拉对此表示认可。」

「绝大多数人类的行为毫无逻辑可言，可克拉拉并非如此——她由我抚养、在自动机兵间成长，其一切行为举止都更多出自真正的理性。她的存在或许能够影响到关于贝洛伯格灭亡进程的演算结果，但仍需更多观察。」  

Character Story: Part III

"— Log ██/██/████ AF."

"Under Clara's guidance, many vagrants have established settlements around the periphery of the base, and rely on Clara to survive. This behavior does not contravene the orders of Preservation. However, many of them are trying to enter the Overworld via this base's transport passage. The gates of the base must be sealed tightly to avoid accelerating the demise of Belobog."

"Clara has discussed this with me before. She believes locking the gates is an 'incomprehensible' act. I responded with my predicted calculations: By over-committing her resources to the war against the Fragmentum , [sic] the Supreme Guardian is accelerating the destruction of the Overworld. Isolation would be the best option for the people of the Underworld — this would buy them more time to try and survive. In the end, Clara finally agreed."

"Most humans behave illogically, but Clara doesn't — she is raised by me and grew up among automatons, and her behavior is more based on pure rationality. Her presence may impact predicted calculations of Belobog's demise, but more observations are required."

角色故事•四

「——日志 筑城纪元████年██月██日。」

「我自诞生之初便被输入了『存护』下层区的指令——即使下层区只能比上层区多留存哪怕一毫秒，我也会严格将之执行。若借贝洛伯格传统文化中的概念描述，或许也可以这样说：『毫无疑问地，我忠于自己被赋予的使命』。因此，我视自己的计算结果为铁律——任何人、任何事物都无法使我动摇——包括『外来者』在内。」

「但是，在大量演算结果中，我注意到这样一种可能性。」

「在该演算结果中，克拉拉改变了贝洛伯格的一切。我曾对她如此评价：『她的一切行为举止都更多出自真正的理性』。若以该演算结果为基础，重新审视这一结论，我不能将之视为错误，但我注意到它有失偏颇。」

「在该演算结果中，克拉拉同时证明了一点：具备『真正的理性』并非改变现状的关键，反而是她那真挚且热烈的『情感』将一切计算结果颠覆，彻底扭转了贝洛伯格注定灭亡的未来。然而，除非有新的外因介入，该演算结果触达概率不高于0.25272%，应归入小概率事件组，暂停对该演算结果的进一步研究。」

「如今，下层区的存续概率在过去五个周期内未见明显上升趋势，评估认为该事项允许暂缓执行，但我仍将对相关风险因子置于监控下。」

「在本周期内，我将专注于为克拉拉寻找家人一事。尽管克拉拉不断表示『自己已经找到了真正的家人』，我还是将持续搜集相关信息，以便尽早发现克拉拉真正的家人之所在。」  

Character Story: Part IV

"— Log ██/██/████ AF."

"Ever since I was created, I've been given the command to preserve the Underworld — Even if I can only preserve it for a millisecond longer than the Overworld, I will still carry out these orders. To borrow a phrase from traditional Belobog culture, perhaps it could be put like this: 'I am faithful without hesitation to the mission I've been given.' Therefore, I see my calculations as immutable laws — nobody and nothing can ever shake me, including any Outsiders."

"However, I found this possible permutation among the calculation results."

"In this calculation, Clara completely changed Belobog. I once said of her, 'her behavior is more based on pure rationality.' If we take this probable result as a base and revisit my conclusion, I cannot view it as an error — but I admit that it is biased."

"With the results of this calculation, Clara has also proved one thing: having true rationality is not the key to changing the status quo, but rather that her sincere and passionate emotion overturned all calculations and completely reversed Belobog's doomed fate. However, unless new external forces intervene, the probability of this is less than 0.25272%, which places it in the low probability category. Further research on these calculations are paused."

"Today, the probability of survival in the Underworld has not seen a significant upward trend over the last five cycles. This means that implementation of this may be suspended, but I will still monitor all relevant risk factors."

"During this cycle, I will focus on finding Clara's family. Despite Clara insisting that she has already found her real family, I will keep collecting any and all information to track down Clara's real family as soon as I can."

Blade wields an ancient sword riddled with cracks, just like his body and his mind.

角色故事•一
他只能见一片殷红，嘴里腥甜，四肢绵软
——自己应是死了。

「记住了么？」
他茫然地张了张嘴，那声响如未开化的野兽。
喉咙里的声音戛然而止，冰冷的硬物穿过了他。
如此反复，足有千次。

好生奇妙。肌理断裂时，他能听见筋骨桥接弥合的细微声响。
好生奇妙。体内的怪物被滋养着，他却要任它长为庞然巨物。
好生奇妙。他已丧失生存的信念，躯体却自顾自地恢复如初。
好生奇妙。

当剑再次试图刺穿他的身体之前，他抓住了剑，慢慢起身。
「记住了么？」
他对上女人血红的眼睛，脑中仍是一片空白
——他再一次被刺穿。
「记住死亡的感觉，带给他们。」

眼底的殷红又泛了上来，他盯着地上那杀他的剑，剑刃碎了半截。
「起来，让我再杀你一次。」  

Character Story: Part I

The only thing he could sense was a splotch of crimson in his sight and the taste of iron in his mouth. His limbs were unresponsive.
— He must have died.

"Do you remember?"
He opened his mouth, lost, his voice as coarse as a savage beast's.
The sound from his throat stopped abruptly as the cold, hard object penetrated his torso.
Again and again, this repeated for thousands of times.

How marvelous. When his muscle fibers tore open, he could hear the tiny sounds of tendons bridging and reconnecting.
How marvelous. The monster in his body was being nourished, but he would let it grow into a massive beast.
How marvelous. He had already lost all will to live, but his body regenerated without any consideration for his preferences.
How marvelous.

Before the sword pierced his body once more, he grabbed it with his bare hands and slowly stood up.
"Do you remember now?"
He met the woman's blood-red eyes, his mind still empty.
— He was run through by the sword once again.
"Remember the feeling of death, and bring it to them."

Crimson resurfaced in his vision. He stared at the sword that killed him. The blade was broken in half and lying on the ground.
"Rise, and let me kill you once more."

角色故事•二

他只能见一片殷红，嘴里腥甜，四肢绵软
——自己应是死了。

黑发的少年浑身颤抖着，却仍紧紧攥着手中的长枪。
他没有龙角，反应也比记忆中更为稚嫩——
但他不会认错这把长枪，不会认错那双眼睛，那静如湖面的青绿下是怎样的残酷。
伤口开始愈合，他转了转眼珠，看向少年。
少年毫不犹豫地再次挥动长枪——

「就是这样。」
对敌斩尽杀绝的人，是你。
一手葬送挚爱的人，是你。
差点引致故乡毁灭的人，还是你。

他再次倒了下去。
少年捂着身上的伤口，步步后退，直至离开他的视线。
「在亲眼见证你的死期之前，我们会再见面的。」  

Character Story: Part II

The only thing he could sense was a splotch of crimson in his sight and the taste of iron in his mouth. His limbs were unresponsive.
— He must have died.

The black-haired young man shivered violently all over, but still clutched onto the spear in his hands.
He had no dragon horns, and his reaction was slightly less mature than he remembered...
But he would never forget this spear, these eyes, and how cruelty burst out from beneath the mirror-like emerald calmness.
His wounds began to heal. His irises flickered and fixed their gaze at the boy once more.
Without hesitation, the boy made another flourish with the spear...

"That's it."
The one who showed no mercy to enemies - was you.
The one who single-handedly buried the beloved - was you.
The one who almost led the place called home to its destruction - was also you.

He fell down again.
The teen pressed his hand against his own wounds and retreated, until he was no longer in the man's sight.
"Before I witness your death in person, we will meet again, ███."

角色故事•三
他只能见一片殷红，嘴里腥甜，四肢绵软
——自己应是死了。

怪物再次吞噬了他，但这次他面对的不是别人。
高大的铠甲沉默不语，他被牢牢禁锢在那双手臂中，说话的是戴墨镜的女人。

「听我说，我可以再杀你一遍，否则没法把你带回去。」
她的声音很温柔，连他体内的怪物也安静了下来，听她说话。
「但我不想那么做。」
女人俯下身，在他耳边轻语。那是他无法拒绝的交易。
「你们想要什么？」
「还有比目睹不死之人如何死去更令人高兴的事么？『他』这么说。」

高大铠甲松开了手臂。「命运」已在前方，他会同他们一起走。
「听我说，阿刃，放轻松。」
「听我说，你什么都不要想。」
他点点头，女人走到他身边。她笑着，他却觉得那笑容非常悲伤。
「也许有人离开了她，没有听她说完话。」他想。  

Character Story: Part III

The only thing he could sense was a splotch of crimson in his sight and the taste of iron in his mouth. His limbs were unresponsive.
— He must have died.

The monster swallowed him again, but this time, his enemy is not another person.
The imposing armor stayed quiet. He was grappled and imprisoned within those pair of arms. The speaker was the woman with sunglasses.

"Listen, I can always kill you again, otherwise I can't bring you back."
Her voice was very gentle, and even the monster inside his body stayed silent to listen to her.
"But I don't want to."
The woman leaned down and whispered in his ear. It was a deal he couldn't refuse.
"What do you people want?"
"Is there anything more satisfying than seeing how the undying die? That's what 'he' said."

The giant armor loosened its arms. "Destiny" was ahead, and he will be leaving with them.
"Listen, Bladie, loosen up."
"Listen, don't think about anything at all." He nodded. The woman walked to his side, smiling. Yet he thought her smile looked very sad.
"Maybe someone left her before they could listen to everything she had to say," he thought.

角色故事•四
他什么都看不见了。

他想起几十年前，自己随商船来到仙舟，为此地的鬼斧神工所折服。
少年茶饭不思，肆意挥洒自己的灵感，他锻造百种奇物，其中有四件最为著名。

名为「支离」的剑通体无瑕，漆色中泛着血光，只有仙舟最强剑士方能诠释此剑的真谛。
狐人少女曾在绝境中用曲弓三箭并发，却仍不忘一边驾驶星槎一边同众人谈笑。
黑发龙角的男子以御水之术为同伴疗伤，在下个瞬间又将水附着于长枪之上，瞬间刺穿敌方。
还有那总爱同他拌嘴的少年，见到这把阵刀时，却是一把抢了过去，再也不愿放手。

如今，██已经死了，这最初的、唯一的死亡。
但他仍在此处，那尚如少年的头脑思索着，他将永远思索着。
他思索着自己不再灵巧的双手，那双手已无法再打造任何兵刃
——但这一切与他无关。
从今往后，那具躯壳，将是唯一的「刃」。  

Character Story: Part IV

He could no longer see anything.

He remembered that, decades ago, he came to the Xianzhou with a merchant vessel and was impressed by the superb craftsmanship of this place.
The young man was obsessed to the point of forgetting to eat or drink, and spent his inspiration like he was running out of time. He forged hundreds of marvels, four of which were the most famous.

The sword named Shard Sword was flawless in its make, its inky body glimmered with a sheen of sanguine. Only the strongest swordmaster on the Xianzhou could demonstrate the true meaning of this blade.
The foxian girl once loosened three arrows simultaneously with her recurve bow in a dire situation, while still continuing to navigate the starskiff and laughing with the others.
The black-haired man with dragon horns used his water manipulation abilities to rejuvenate his allies, and in the next moment he bound the water upon his spear and used it to run his enemies through.
There was also the boy who kept bickering with him. Yet the moment the youth saw the Devastator Glaive, he grabbed it and never wished to part with it.

Now, ██ had died. His first — and only — death.
However, he was still here, his youth-like brain churning and thinking - thinking for all eternity.
He thought about his hands that were no longer dexterous. The hands that could no longer forge another weapon.
— But none of this mattered to him.
From this moment on, that body will be the one and only "Blade."

无光的幽暗中，他仿佛回到持明卵中，在波涛与幻梦里辗转来去。

他梦见自己站在祭坛上，舞雩吟诵。歌谣与手势不过是表象，双眸中放出的光明，血脉中涌动的风暴才是真髓。他信手编织鳞渊境中如烟似雾的浪涛，将躁狂的「龙」镇入蔓生的巨木中。随着长吟冲天散去，鳞渊境将再续数百年的平静，而他的使命也宣告完成。

礼毕，他回头望去。离去的石阶上，不知何时站立着数不清龙角华服的尊者。他们宛如镜中留影，以微妙的误差一个个舞袖、转身、准备离去。不可尽数的人结成天梯，向着无穷尽的虚空延伸出去，所有人的面容每日晨起时都在镜中与他相见——那是他的脸。

不，那是属于最初的龙尊的脸。他苦笑着，将手掌覆上自己的五官，似在确认自己是否能撕下这副面具，将它交还给真正的主人。

他做不到。

In the dim abyss devoid of light, he seemed to have returned to the insides of a Vidyadhara egg, being ceaselessly churned in tumultuous waves and elusive dreams.

He dreamed he was standing before a sacrificial altar, dancing and chanting. However, the songs and gestures were mere facades. The light emanating from his eyes and the storm roiling in his blood were the true forces at play. Casually, he wove the misty and foggy tide in Scalegorge Waterscape, sealing the maddened and frenzied "dragon" into the propagating giant tree. As the echoing roar streamed up into the heavens and dissipated, Scalegorge Waterscape will continue its peace for centuries more, and his duty was over.

The ceremony ended, and he turned to look behind him. In the blink of an eye, the stairs he had stepped down from had become full of standing dignitaries with draconic horns and dressed like royalty. As if they were mirages in a mirror, each of them turned and their sleeves swirled with the motion, ready to leave one after another in a meticulously calculated arrangement. Innumerable, they formed a staircase to the sky, stretching into the never-ending spatial void. The faces of all these people would greet him every morning in his dressing mirror — That was his face.

No, it was the face of the primordial, the original, the very first high elder. He smiled bitterly and covered his face with his palm, as if ascertaining whether he could tear off this mask and return it to its true owner.

He could not.

无光的幽暗中，他仿佛回到持明卵中，在波涛与幻梦里辗转来去。

他梦见自己抵达战场，如神明亲临。悬于云端，军阵似蝼蚁般渺小，云车和星槎如注定要赴火的飞萤。这就是凡人的生命…这就是龙的视角吗？一丝骄慢涌起，令他心意冰冷。他忙将目光投向那些与他一同厮杀、一同欢饮的人们：

疾驰而过的飞行士丝毫不在意队列齐整，随兴射击，任由装填炽火的弩箭落在奔突的步离甲士间；

在星槎所指的方向上，有位白发剑士当先一人，随锋刃舞蹈，在剑光中穿梭，其锋芒太盛，连她的同僚也不敢与之同列，只是殿后策援；

平日与他谈笑的那位云骑骁卫则收起一身闲散，手持阵刀，与所部军士们抵抗着侧翼袭来的步离战卒；

本阵后方，随军的匠作们调试着巨大的金人，也许那名狷狂的匠人此刻正挥汗如雨——这些数十米高的军械是应对器兽的杀手锏；

随后他瞧见了彼时的将军腾骁，他如同帝弓的化身笼罩在金色雷霆中，与自己的幻影犁过敌人的战兽军阵……

溃不成军的步离人开始逃窜。他明白，该是执行自己被交付的使命了。他放任心智消融于风暴和冰雹里，由雷霆代他咆哮，由海啸替他愤怒。他悬于云端，看着被渊薮吞没的敌人，也看着身后的土地，许多人类、持明与狐族，他们永远留在战场上，无法再看一眼故乡。

龙心告诉他，那不过是世上又拂去了些许微尘。战争伴随代价，生命终会再生——龙裔也绝非仅有持明一支。但人心悸痛着，为那些与他战友一样，有着温暖血肉的同袍，为那些也许能活更久，如今却无法再返其乡的凡人而疼痛。

In the dim abyss devoid of light, he seemed to have returned to the insides of a Vidyadhara egg, being ceaselessly churned in tumultuous waves and elusive dreams.

He dreamed he arrived at the battlefield like the descent of a god. He hovered with the clouds — the military formations below him were tiny as ants, and the airborne chariots and starskiffs were moths destined to die in a flame. Such were the lives of mortals... Was this the viewpoint of a dragon? A sliver of hubris rose up and plunged his heart into emotionless and icy detachment, and he hurriedly cast his gaze toward those with whom he had fought and shared liquor:

The pilot who zoomed past did not care whether the formation was orderly. She shot at will, letting the arrows filled with blazing fire fall on the storming borisin foot soldiers...

Along the direction pointed out by the starskiffs, a white-haired swordswoman spearheaded into the fray ahead of the entire army, dancing with her sharp blade. She dashed between flashes of metallic light, her actions too sharp to even let her allies come near, reducing them to merely supporting her from behind...

On the other hand, the Cloud Knight Lieutenant who used to chat and laugh with the dragon contained his languid indolence, holding his devastator glaive in hand as he stood with his men to repel the borisin pawns attacking from the battlefield's wings...

And behind the main host, the military engineers who marched with the army were adjusting and testing giant aurumatons... perhaps that exceedingly arrogant craftsman was now working at full speed, for these machines hundreds of feet tall are specialized weapons designed to counter the mechabeasts...

Then, he saw the general of yesteryear, Teng Xiao. He was enveloped in golden lightning like the avatar of the Reignbow, plowing through the enemies' rows of war beasts with his divine mirage...

The devastated borisins began to flee. He knew it was time to carry out the duty entrusted to him. So he let go — letting his consciousness disappear in storms and hails, letting thunder roar for him, letting tsunamis rage for him. He floated on top of clouds, watching the enemies getting swallowed by the watery abyss, and watching the land behind him. Many humans, Vidyadhara, and foxians were eternally left there, unable to lay their eyes upon their home ever again.

The dragon heart told him that it was but a small speck of dust brushed away from the world. Wars come with a price, but life will always thrive once more — the Vidyadhara are not the only branch of Long's Scions. However, his human heart ached for those comrades who, like him, had warm flesh and blood, and for those mortals who might have lived longer but now could return home nevermore.

无光的幽暗中，他仿佛回到持明卵中，在波涛与幻梦里辗转来去。

他梦见自己分开海水，来到宫墟深处，埋葬故友残存的碧血，或是创造许久未诞的新生——又或者这两件事本是一体，是久久无法实践的渴望，是压垮巨龙的最后一根稻草。匠人持剑一路护卫，血痕累累。他敦促自己下定决心。

「倏忽死了…我们赢了，可还能再赢几次？我们还要付出多少像这样的代价？」
「看看这建木，它依然还活着。只要建木矗立，怪物们…它们可以一遍遍卷土重来。仙舟人、狐人和持明对抗孽物的战争，永远不会结束。」
「是啊，我们每个人都没什么特别的！我们每个人都只有一次生命，为这个牺牲，为那个去死…这全都是我们自己的选择。就像她选择了救你和镜流…就像她选择了让更多人活下去！」

战争，还有那些在战争中消失的生命，每个都和自己一样，是呼吸着的人。
他想起那些人的脸庞，疲倦地合上了眼，下定决心。
「如果有机会…我们也会选择让她，还有更多人活下去。
——持明有自己的解救之道。我可以试试。」

梦中之梦，身外化身。他回到了自我即将消逝的前一刻，冷眼旁观看着自己化为龙形，与那团无定变化的血肉之影纠缠角斗。濒死的幻觉中，神使向他展现了诡丽的图景，星辰像血红细胞般翕张着吟唱，宇宙堕入肉与欲望的渊薮。龙心努力搏动，奋起爪牙、吐息和愤怒——可无论如何强大，生命也不能对抗生命之神的使者本尊。

直到一艘星槎如箭矢刺穿了一切，他看到那个女孩从废墟中艰难爬出，手中高举着一轮绝对黑暗的「太阳」。在那快如永恒的瞬息里，他看着她的手消逝，看着她的面容消逝，他看着她消逝——那物什将周遭的一切碎为最细腻的齑粉，卷入力量的风暴里，连同女孩自己。

一缕碎发和几滴血落地。证明她存在过的痕迹，只剩这些了。

In the dim abyss devoid of light, he seemed to have returned to the insides of a Vidyadhara egg, being ceaselessly churned in tumultuous waves and elusive dreams.

He dreamed that he parted the ocean's waters and came to the palace ruin depths, burying the remnants of his old friend's hallowed blood, or creating a new life that had not been seen for millennia — or, perhaps, those two actions were one and the same, an unattainable desire that could not be carried out for long years in the past, a final straw that broke the gargantuan dragon's back. The craftsman was covered in blood and wounds as he guarded the dragon with a sword in his hand. He urged himself to commit to the decision.

"Shuhu is dead... we won, but how many more victories can we manage to achieve? How many more prices like this must we pay?"
"Look, the Ambrosial Arbor still stands. So long as it is alive, the monsters... they can come back again and again. The war of the Xianzhou natives, foxians, and Vidyadhara against the abominations will never end."
"Yes, none of us are special! Each of us has only one life, sacrificing for this, dying for that... it's all our own choices. Just like how she chose to save you and Jingliu... just like how she chose to let more people live on!"

War, and the lives that expired in the war, were living beings just like him.
He shut his eyes wearily, remembering their faces, and made up his mind.
"If there's a chance... we will also choose to let her and more people live on.
We, the Vidyadhara, have our own way of salvation. I can give it a try."

Like an out-of-body experience, like a dream within a dream, he returned to the moment before his sense of self disappeared. With a cold and emotionless mind, he observed himself turning into a dragon, entangled and fighting claw-and-fangs against that bulb of shapeshifting shadow of flesh and blood. In an illusion seen on the verge of death, the emissary of the god showed him an unsettling, beautiful scene — the stars pulsated and sang hymns like red blood cells, and the universe descended into an abyss of flesh and desires. The dragon heart beat to its limit, raising its fangs, breath, and fury — however, no matter how mighty it was, a "lifeform" cannot defy the true body of god of life's envoy.

...Until a starskiff ran everything through like an arrow shaft. He saw that girl crawling out of the ruins with great difficulty, lifting a "sun" of absolute darkness in her hand. In that fleeting eternity, he saw her hand disappear, saw her face disappear, and saw HER disappear — That item had ground everything around it into the finest dust and dragged them into a vortex of raw power, including that girl.

A tuft of hair and a few drops of blood fell to the floor as evidence of her existence. Those were the only traces she left.

他梦见白发的云骑骁卫前来看望他，为他带来斡旋的结果。持明们不许他死去，也不许他离去。他沉默不语。

他梦见再度与他们举杯共饮，他梦见自己褪去龙鳞，他梦见自己重回卵中，成了另一个人。

他梦见了许多许多，就像一场永远不会结束，名为「自我」的幻戏。

He dreamed of the Dracocatena Nails being staked into his body, and chains of corallium winding around him to hang him in midair in the Shackling Prison. He dreamed the elders coming and going to interrogate him about the truth of the Arcanum and the whereabouts of the dragon heart. He did not speak.

He dreamed of the Judges coming before him to read their decision and wanting to sentence him to death. He did not speak.

He dreamed of the white-haired Cloud Knight Lieutenant coming to visit him and bringing him news of the Lieutenant's negotiations. The Vidyadhara did not permit him to die, nor did they permit him to leave. He did not speak.

He dreamed he was raising his cup to drink with the others again, that he molted off his scales, and that he returned to the egg, and became someone else.

He dreamed many, many things, like a never-ending immersia entitled "Self."

Following the immersia was an even clearer but unreachable illusion.

He saw himself being exiled. He saw himself boarding an express. He saw himself running into the endless stars, never looking back.

A sword, 3 feet and 7 inches in length, that weighs nothing.
It was not forged from any ordinary iron, but condensed from a shaft of sharp ice. It glowed with a dim light, as if it were a sliver of moonlight held in the wielder's hand.

"A sword, 3 feet and 7 inches in length, weighing about 7 catties. Hold it in your hand, and stab the sharp end towards the enemy."
With a gentle flip of her hand, the woman in armor called her sword. As if alive, the sword lept out of the weapon rack, sliding into her grasp and out of its sheath in one fell swoop. The blade then stabbed into the air beside the girl, humming intently.
"You got that yet? If so, go fight the most common war beasts the borisin use in their ground forces. Once you've killed ten Bloodshot War Wyverns, I'll consider your first lesson completed."
She remained silent, her eyes darting left and right. This was her first time stepping out of the ward since being rescued, and the first time ever in her life she had touched a weapon known as a sword.
"I have dismissed the healers and helpers. They won't come to you without my orders."
"The calamity in Cangcheng left few survivors. I don't know what you've been through before the rescue arrived... But I don't want to see you wallow in past horrors like this for the rest of your life."
"It's okay if you don't wanna talk. You can speak with this."
"You can use this to vanquish the monsters that took everything from us. There are now few things as wondrous as this left in the world."
The woman in armor remained composed, her gaze cast onto the long sword by the girl's side.

The mirror-like blade showed her reflection. Then, a swarm of razor shards swirled up in a tempest, dragging the girl into her past —
In the dimly lit sky, the demonic planet named Rahu was wailing and singing, hurling towards everyone with lands and mountains ablaze.
On the streets, people were screaming, writhing and rolling in apocalyptic despair, as the golden tendrils sprouted and grew feverishly in every orifice of theirs.
She watched everything unfold, paralyzed. Her organs felt like they were boiling. Something suddenly surged and churned in her Core Esse, like a ripe wheat grain about to burst out of its husk and swell to infinity.
The mountains hurling towards her face made her realize, she was but a mayfly, about to perish at the mere flick of an Emanator's fingertip.

In that split moment before death claimed her, she grabbed the only thread she could hang by.
A sword, 3 feet and 7 inches in length, weighing about 7 catties.

另有佐战援护的飞剑十二把，接入自「大椎」至「阳关」一线穴道，应使由心，一瞬间施展开来，如惊风疾雨。
她对剑术还不甚了解。她还有很多要学。

戎装女子来不及教她更多，就要率军出征。于是少女的第二课便在战场上学，由那些倒下的敌人教。
「刺」固然简单明了，但动作灵敏的怪物不会自觉迎上剑尖，任由少女处决。于是她学会了「斩」。
接着是「缠」，在力量惊人的怪物面前，少女懂得了以剑脊卸去攻击。
对剑术，她自认已心融神会，于是跳上了身高十倍于己的器兽战卒「龙伯」。
折断所有随身携带的剑，也不过在对手巨硕的身躯上留下成打成打的伤口。
她被巨掌拍飞，躺在战场的血泥里，再度被恐惧淹没。在溺死的关头，她才明白，剑术亦有极限。
一支装填炽火的弩矢炸去了龙伯的头颅。「起来。」戎装女子看着她。

「我不学剑了。这东西…没用。」
「没用？在我手里倒是好用的很。说到底，是人无用罢了。」
「……」
「不学剑，那你想学什么？飞行士星槎上的炼石箭，神臂直配备的炽火弩？还是…朱明仙舟的朱明火？要消灭那颗妖星，有它也尽够了。你想学那些？没毛病，那些东西连照面都不用打，便能杀死对手。」
「…我只是不明白，你为何一定要我学剑！？」
「上至将军下至兵卒，每个云骑都要从出剑开始学起。
「工造司的各色军械确实能代你杀灭敌人，但那些都是兵器自行运作罢了。如果有那么一天，箭矢耗尽、星槎坠落、金人停转，谁来保护你我，谁来保护仙舟？
「握住这柄剑，给我牢牢记着，只有云骑亲自掌剑上阵，才是人类自己的战斗。我们用自己的血肉、自己的技艺向那些非人的孽物们证明，我们必将战胜它们，而不是让机巧代我们行事！」

戎装女子转身离去，将她和断剑留在了演武室里。

Character Story: Part II

A sword, 6 feet and 5 inches in length, weighing 14 catties.
This is a Cloud Knight greatsword that must be wielded with both hands. Its edge contains enchanted fire that can split open the mechabeast's inert armor at the moment of contact.
There are 12 Flying Swords providing support, connected into her spinal meridian from the acupuncture points of Dazhui to Yaoyangguan. She needed only to think for these swords to instantly span out like a blistering storm.
She was still unfamiliar with the way of the sword. She still had lots to learn.

The woman in armor had no time to teach her more before the woman was tasked with leading the army on the field. Therefore, the girl's second lesson is to be learned on the battlefield, taught by the enemies she would fall.
"Stab" is easy, but swift monsters won't run into the sword's tip on their own or let the girl execute them. That is how she learned "slash."
"Entangle" is next. Against monsters with overwhelming strength, the girl learned how to parry with the back of the sword to deflect enemy attacks.
She believed she had learned enough of the sword and therefore leapt onto the mechabeast war pawn "Gigantes" that dwarfed her at least ten times over.
She broke all the swords she brought with her and only managed to leave a few dozen cuts on the opponent's gigantic body.
She was whacked away by an enormous hand. Lying in the blood-soaked mud of the battlefield, she was once again swallowed by horror. In that split moment before death claimed her, she finally understood that even the art of swordplay had its limits.
An arrow filled with blazing fire blew off the Gigantes' head. "Get up." The woman in armor looked at her.

"I don't want to learn the sword anymore. It's... useless."
"Useless? It's pretty useful in my hands. It is the wielder who was useless."
"..."
"If you don't learn the sword, what do you want to learn? The alchemical arrows on the pilots' starskiff? The blazing fire flung by divine crossbows? Or... The artillery of the Zhuming Xianzhou? Such instruments would also be enough to destroy that demonic planet. You want to learn about them? Fine. Those things can kill the enemy even from beyond visual range."
"...I just don't understand why you insist on teaching me the sword!?"
"From the general to the smallest pawn, every Cloud Knight starts by learning the sword.
"The various constructs provided by the Artisanship Commission can certainly kill the enemy for you, but those deeds are to the merit of the material rather than the person. If there comes a day that the quivers run empty, that the starskiffs crash, that the aurumatons freeze — Who will protect you and I, then? Who will protect the Xianzhou?
"Hold this sword. Remember, it would not be a true fight for humanity if Cloud Knights didn't wield swords and march onto the battlefield themselves. Rather than letting ingenia do the work for us, we will show our final victory to those inhuman abominations by our own blood and prowess!"

The woman in armor turned and departed, leaving the girl and the broken sword in the training room.
A sword, 2 feet and 1 inch in length, only its broken fragments remained.
