130、捐款 黎鸦报了警 ...
-
黎鸦报了警,讲述了到目前为止他们了解的所有以及Pukia目前在逃的情况。接线员在电话那头说会尽快派警员过去调查。
黎鸦:“我们现在趁着天亮前回去吧。到时候警察来我们也能做个接应。”
常斐然点点头,他已经稍稍缓过来点儿神儿。他看着一旁失落的陈添然,站起来,走到她身前拉起她的手。
陈添然抬起头看着他。
陈添然:“哥,你会怪我吗?”
常斐然:“如果我怪了你,我也就不能得到原谅了。谁想犯错?但是谁都会犯错。我也犯了错,比你更蓄意的错。但是谁都没法后悔。”
黎鸦:“嗨,什么错不错的。事情就这么发生了,一件赶一件,这个世界就是这样,不用什么都往自己身上揽。人家真杀人放火的还睡得安稳呢,你们俩倒是先不行了。诶,妹妹,我不是说,就你这心理素质也顶不了Moonlord(月主)。真的,你就是当上你也干不出来这些事儿;不用看你这么恨、那么恨的,也就折磨一下自己还行;真到事儿上你可不像人家那样顶得住。”
陈添然:“主要你们不应该来,不然我的良心也没得发现。”
黎鸦:“你要这么说,那还幸亏你哥来了。”
就这样你一句我一句地说着说着,大家情绪都渐渐有所缓和。
随后,三人动身前往Silver Orb(明玉轮),翻墙进了去。
—————————————————————————
今天是捐款日。
所有人——Moonlive(月团乐团)、Sophia、甚至那些平时并不住在这里的信徒也都聚集到了Hall of the Moon(宏月堂)。
Moonlord(月主)仍旧站在台前,只是旁边变成了Sophia。
Sophia:“I believe many of you have already noticed that a lot has happened lately and that some decisions have been made. Today, I'm taking the stage to formally announce that Pukia has been banished and is no longer one of us.(我相信最近的一段时间大家应该都注意到了,这里发生了很多事情和变化。今天,我站在这里正式宣布,Pukia已被驱逐,她也不再是我们中的一员。)”
底下人群神色有变,开始交头接耳起来。
Sophia:“Order. There is no need to speculate. Silver Orb has always prided itself on transparency and has held truth above all else. Therefore, allow me to explain: Pukia has been punished for her betrayal and her lack of devotion. Moonlord’s heart was shattered by here, and so was mine. He placed so much trust in her, yet this was how he was repaid.(安静。大家不必猜测。明玉轮一直以来都以透明公开为荣耀,并始终将真相置于一切之上。因此,我可以直言告诉大家,Pukia的离开是因为她的背叛以及虔诚的缺乏。月主被她伤透了心,我也一样。他这样重用她,最后却受到了这样的报答。)
We formed a close-knit community because of Moonlord. Out of our love and gratitude for him, we became brothers and sisters; this is the root of it all. Therefore, when defection occurs, the traitor must be expelled and stripped of the privilege of basking in Moonlord’s light(我们所有人因为月主而形成了一个团结的集体、因为对月主的爱和感激而成为兄弟姐妹;这是一切的根基。所以当叛节出现的时候,叛徒就只能被驱离、剥夺被月主照耀的权利。)
Moonlord obtained his power on the night of the full moon, and it was from that moment on that he took the vow to save all the living souls. This whole time, he has dedicated himself to the light, prayed for your salvation, and healed countless souls. Many of you have received free food and shelter from him, as he offered wandering souls a spiritual sanctuary. He abandoned all the worldly pleasures he once possessed and could have enjoyed, solely so that more people could escape suffering. But please, search your hearts—what have you given in return? Are your love and loyalty truly as profound as you claim? Do they even come close to matching his endless toil and the goodness of his heart? You do nothing but pay lip service; as a matter of fact, you are insatiable! Always taking and never giving!(月主曾在满月夜获得了普照众生的力量,也是自那以后,他有了救赎生灵的愿想。他多少年如一日地为了光明而奉献,为了我们的救赎而祈祷,治愈我们每一个灵魂,共济我们所有人的福祉!他供给多少人免费的食物、住所,让一个个漂泊的灵魂有了信仰的归属?他抛弃了尘世过去曾经拥有的、未来可以拥有的一切,只为了让更多人脱离苦海。但是扪心自问,你们回报了什么?你们的爱、你们的忠诚,真的有你们说的那样厚重吗?配得上、对得起他日日夜夜的操劳和救世之心吗?你们只是嘴上说说而已,但实际上只有贪得无厌的索取!)
Some of you might say, 'I don’t have the money, and I don’t have the means.' You know what, shame on you! Those are all excuses! It only proves that you have no love, no faith, and no place among us! Do not ever call yourself a believer. You are not! You are a disgrace! You are despised by every single one of us!(有人说‘我没有能力,没有办法贡献。’你知道吗?我为你们感到羞愧!这都是借口!这只证明了你不爱、你没有信仰、你也不是我们一员!!不要称你自己是信徒,你不是!你不配!你是在给我们抹黑!你是受到我们所有人鄙视的!)
So, I ask you, I urge you to really search your conscience, and then tell me: what choice will you make?(所以,请你们扪心自问,然后告诉我:你会做出怎样的选择?)”
Sophia说得手舞足蹈、满脸通红,像个跳梁小丑。可常斐然扫视了一圈却发现底下坐着的人却都听得全神贯注,字字入心。
突然,他和一个人对上了眼神——那是一双清澈、低落、甚至有些发红的眼睛,那是Alexia的眼睛。
常斐然不觉心中一紧。
他走到Alexia身边。Alexia却避开了他的眼神。
常斐然:“How much do you wanna donate?(你想捐多少?)”
Alexia:“No, I can’t ask you to do that again. You’ve done so much for me.(不行,我不能再让你这么做了。你已经做得足够多了。)”
反正这里也走到日暮途穷了,在这之前,有什么必要让她这么难过呢?
常斐然:“It’s OK-(没关系-)”
话还没说完,就从门口径直走进几个警察。
警察1:“Police! Don’t move.(警察,不许动。)”
警察越过一脸茫然和惊恐的人群走向Moonlord(月主)和Sophia。
警察1:“Put your hands up where I can see them.(把手放到我能看见的地方。)”
两人照做,举起了双手。
Moonlord(月主):“What did we do?(我们做什么了?)”
警察1:“Not ‘we’ sir, just you. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you.(不是‘我们’,就只有你,先生。你有保持沉默的权利。你所说的任何话,都可能并且将会在法庭上作为对你不利的证据使用。你有权聘请律师。如果你无力承担律师费用,法院将为你指定一名律师。)”
Moonlord(月主)被带走了。
一群人蜂拥过去,拦住了他们的去路。
一阵骚乱传来。
三人来不及过去瞧——直到现在,都没有人再次联系他们这群报案人。
警察2走向Sophia,常斐然拦住了另一个警察3的去路。
常斐然:“Officer, we made the phone call, and we have the evidence in hand.(警官,是我们报的警,而且我们手里有证据。)”
警察3:“Oh OK, great, come along. We need your statement.(哦,好的,那一起来。我们需要你们的口供。)”
三人互相做了个匪夷所思的表情——如果他们没有上前来找呢?他们还会被包括进来吗?
常斐然:“Did you get Pukia, the accomplice? Maybe issue a warrant? You gotta be fast, she’s fleeting the country. She might have already for god’s sake!(你们抓到Pukia了吗,那个同谋?有没有发通缉令?你们要抓紧,她要逃出国。她可能都已经出去了我的老天爷啊。 )”
警察3:“Sir, thank you for your information. But we'll take it from there. At this point, it’s best that we both take care of our own responsibilities.(先生,谢谢你们提供的信息。但是我们就从这儿接手了。目前我们各自做好各自的事儿是最好的策略。)”
说完他就走向了警察2和Sophia。
警察2:“Ma’am, you're not a suspect. But we’d appreciate it if you could come with us to give a statement.(女士,你不是嫌疑人。但是如果你愿意跟我们一起去做个口供,我们将非常感激。)”
Sophia:“Do I have to go?(必须去吗?)”
警察2: “It’s voluntary. But your cooperation would be helpful to the investigation.(这是自愿的。但是你的配合会对调查非常有帮助。)”
Sophia:“I think I'll pass.(我看还是算了。)”
警察2:“You wanna stay here then? This place is under investigation now tho.(你想待在这儿吗?现在这个地方要接受调查了。)”
Sophia:“No, it's OK, I think I'll go home.(不,没事儿,我回家了。)”
