《意隐故事---明玉轮》夏意隐

119、快逃（4） 黎鸦赶紧起

　　黎鸦赶紧起身，她一边诧异地看向常斐然，一边朝Pukia迎了上去。

　　Pukia：“Hello there.（又见面了。）”

　　她语气轻松地对黎鸦打了声招呼。

　　常斐然：“Why do we need to leave?（为什么我们要走？）”

　　Pukia：“Because it's best for all of us, mostly for you tho.（因为这对我们所有人都好，当然，对你最好。）”

　　常斐然：“I won't leave until you tell me what happened or what's going to happen.（除非你告诉我到底发生了什么或是会发生什么，不然我是不会离开的。）”

　　Pukia：“Jeez, get your fact straight. I'm doing you a favor, not the other way around. You wanna stay? By my guest.（天啊，你能不能清醒清醒。我是在帮你，不是你帮我。你想留下，留下吧，你觉得我会在乎吗？）”

　　常斐然：“Can you at least tell me what's going on?（你能至少告诉我发生了什么吗？）

　　Pukia：“No.（不能。）”

　　黎鸦感觉自己脑海里突然“呼”的一声闪过了什么，她意识到常斐然还不知道Julia和Josia的事，而这大概就是“what's going on（发生的事情）”。但这和他们离不离开有什么关系？到目前为止没有警察上门，也没有其他成员为这事好奇或者纠缠。唯一不寻常的就是陈添然的出现。但是她和这事怎么联系得起来呢？她甚至都不在这里。难道这只是巧合？

　　常斐然：“Then how am I supposed to make the decision?（那我怎么做决定？）”

　　Pukia：“Right, you can either trust me or not.（所以你可以选择相信我或者不。）”

　　常斐然：“Vivian is OK, you said?（你说Vivian没事是吗？）”

　　Pukia：“More than OK. You can cross your rescue mission off your list, which leaves you with nothing to do.（岂止是没事。你可以把你的拯救行动划了，也就是说你没有任何需要做的了。）”

　　常斐然：“What is she doing here, can you at least tell me that? Is she so brainwashed that she's wholeheartedly committed to this place, or she's just held captive by you?（那她到底是在这儿干什么，至少你要告诉我这个吧。她是被你们彻底洗脑要全心全意要留在这里还是你们把她软禁了？）”

　　Pukia：“You didn't tell him?（你没告诉他？）”

　　黎鸦：“I did!（我告诉他了！）”

　　她慌忙回答。

　　常斐然：“She did, but I just don't think that's the whole story. Why wouldn't she want to leave? I want to know what's going on, and why all of a sudden we need to leave now.（她告诉我了但我觉得这不是全貌。为什么她不想离开？我想知道到底发生了什么，为什么我们现在就非得离开了。）”

　　Pukia：“Donation Day is just two days away. Get away before then while you still have something left.（后天是捐款日。在那之前走你还能剩点儿子儿。）”

　　黎鸦：“Isn't that day the Full Moon?（那天不是满月吗？）”

　　Pukia：“Uh-huh. It's on the same day with the Full Moon Ceremony.（对。和满月仪式在一天。）”

　　常斐然：“I don't care. I don't care about the money, the ceremony or what have you. I want to know what's going on and why we have to leave！（随便！我不在乎什么捐款、什么仪式、或者任何东西。我只想知道发生了什么，为什么我们非得离开！）”

　　Pukia：“Oh you don't have to. I'm just saying it's the best that you do.（你没必要非得。我只说你最好这样做。）”

　　常斐然被她这种不置可否、一直在绕圈子的说法扰得有些焦躁。他双手抱头原地转了一圈，发出一声烦躁又无力的干吼。

　　常斐然：“Can't you just be straight with me? You are driving me crazy! Just f*cking tell me what my sister is doing here! Why would she be in your room and-（你就不能有话直说吗？你真是快把我逼疯了。你就告诉我我妹妹到底是在这里做什么！为什么她会在你房间-）”

　　Pukia：“Not my room.（不是我房间。）”

　　常斐然：“I don't care! Why was she there? What did you guys talk about?! I've been nothing but honest with you, but all you do is run me around in circles! You're just fake as f*ck, you know that? You are fake as f*ck!（随便谁的房间！为什么她会在那儿？你们谈了些什么？我自从来到这儿对你就只有一片赤诚，但是你却只是绕圈子。你很虚伪你知道吗？虚伪！）”

　　常斐然的脸快要怼到了Pukia脸上。他的嘴唇因为愤怒而颤抖。

　　可Pukia却仍旧站在那里，看着他的眼睛。她甚至都没在他逼近时后退一步。

　　Pukia：“Your sister——She's not a member here. She's an actor at most.（你妹妹——她不是这里的成员，她最多只能算个演员。）”

　　常斐然：“An actor? What do you mean she's an actor? Isn't she the Moon Oracle here? ...You mean she's just playing the role?（演员？什么意思？她不是月先知吗？...你的意思是她只是扮演这个角色？）”

　　Pukia点点头。

　　Pukia：“She was never part of it until a month ago when she forced her way in. Moonlord gave her a title for old times' sake. She was Moonlord's student, you know that, right?（明玉轮从一开始建立就没她的事儿。是一个月前她非要加入，看在过去师生一场拗不过她月主才给她个职务而已。）”

　　常斐然：“So what's this? Is this just a show, a f*cking stunt? Everybody's just playing a role in it?（所以这是什么？这就是一出戏，一场闹剧？大家各自扮演一个角色？）”

　　Pukia：“Do you have a brain? Only her. Just her. Your sister was never one of us. We just assigned her a dummy role so she wouldn't keep pestering us.（你有没有理解能力？只有她，只有她。你妹妹根本不是我们的人，只是我们赖不过她死缠烂打才给她个虚职而已。）”

　　常斐然：“So I don't need to f*cking stay here in the first place? Cuz she's never here?（也就是说其实从一开始我就没必要在这儿待下去？因为她根本就不在这里？）”

　　Pukia笑了一声。

　　常斐然：“Why didn't you tell me?！Where is she now?（那你怎么不早说？她现在在哪？）”

　　Pukia：“Don't put this on me. I told you, I didn't know where she was. But looking back, I probably should've, should've taken her more seriously.（你可别冤枉我，我早跟你说了，我不知道，我不知道她在哪。但现在看起来，我当初应该需要知道的，应该把她当回事儿。）”

　　常斐然：“Moonlord must know. Take me to him. He can get hold of her. I need to talk to her.（你们月主肯定知道。带我去见他。让他联系陈添然，我要见她。）”

　　Pukia：“You better stay away from him. Who do you think I'm telling you to run from?（你现在最好别让他见到你。你以为我要你防谁。）”

　　常斐然：“For what? What did I do to him？（为什么？我和他又结什么仇什么怨了？）”

　　Pukia：“Stop asking. The more you know, the more dangerous it gets for you. You can choose to trust me or not. It’s up to you.（别问了。你知道的越多越危险，你可以选择相信我或者不，都随你。）”

　　常斐然：“Seriously, I’m begging you. You can do this, let me talk to her. Nothing else. I just need to talk to her.（我真的，我求你了。你肯定可以，你让我见她一面。我亲自问她。）”

　　Pukia：“No. You'll be in trouble. Seriously, I'm not joking. （不行。这样你就真的真的会有危险了。）”

　　常斐然：“If this place, this person is so creepy as you said it is, why don't you leave?（那既然这地方真有你描述得这么危险，你干嘛还待在这里，还在他身边？)”

　　Pukia：“I'm too involved. Is this genuine enough to you? I can't get out.（因为我之间牵扯太多。这个答案够真诚吗？我已经走不掉了。）”

　　常斐然低头沉思了一会儿。

　　常斐然：“Is he still jealous?（他还在吃醋吗？）”

　　Pukia：“Jealous? Don’t flatter yourself. Jealousy is child’s play, he needs to care first. Have you made up your mind yet?（吃醋？你也太高看你自己了。吃醋是幼稚的把戏。再说只有在乎的人才吃醋。怎么样，你做好决定了吗？）”

　　...

　　Pukia：“Think it over. If you have even a shred of trust in me, leave. That’s all I can do for you.（你再想想吧。如果你对我还有一丝信任的话，就离开。）”

　　常斐然看向Pukia的眼睛。确实，他在她的眼里看到了从未有过的真诚和恳切。
