"Maus…We have a problem.(宝贝,我们有个麻烦。)"他拉长声音,用五根手指在你后背上一搭没一搭地弹琴。
"哎呀别弄,痒的。巨神打过来了?"你好奇。
"That guy from your country, he bought all the milk downstairs. And K?nig is trying to negotiate with him using Google Translate.(你国家那个小子,把外面贩卖机里的牛奶全买空了。K?nig正试图用谷歌翻译跟他谈判。)"他轻快地笑,抱紧你,笑声从相贴的躯干传过来,"It is a disaster.(简直是场灾难。)"
走廊尽头适时传来几句语调平淡的中文。Krueger侧耳听了两秒。
"See?(看吧?)"
他低头用鼻子拱了下你的额头。
"And to think, I was planning to kidnap you and run off to Hawaii while they were busy fighting.(我原本还打算趁他们忙着打架的时候,把你绑架走逃去夏威夷呢。)"
"Too many people want a piece of you, Liebling.(太多人想要分走你的一部分了,亲爱的。)"
"没办法,我太有魅力了。"你自夸。
他凑近你耳边,热气拂进耳窝:"Maybe I should just bite you and turn you into a real bat.(也许我该直接咬你一口,把你变成一只真正的蝙蝠。)"
K?nig胸膛起伏,他看落你抓着Zimo衣袖的手两秒,喉结滚动:"They talk, ja? They talk about China. About how wonderful it is.(他们都说,是吧?说中国有多好有多好。)"
你捏捏Zimo的手臂,心底升起几分无措。
"But I read. I see things. Your country isn&039;t good to women! It is a society of…prejudice. They expect you to be quiet, to be mothers, to stay at home. Women are treated like second-class!(但我自己看书,我看到过一些事物。你们的国家对女人并不好!那是一个充满偏见的社会。他们期望你们保持安静,当母亲,待在家里。女人被当作二等公民!)"
"没有没有。"你连忙摆手。
这都哪儿跟哪儿啊。什么二等公民啊……
"What did you say?(你说什么?)"Zimo手里动作停住,转过身冷冷看向他,"You don&039;t know shit about my country.(你对我国家一无所知。)"
"Be better to your own people!(你们中国人对自己人好点吧!)"K?nig厉声道,"Does the&039;Fahrschule für Experten in Deutschland&039;ring a bell? Eight Chinese men. Living in Germany. Hunting your own women. Drugging them. Filming them. Calling them&039;cars&039;and the drugs&039;fuel&039;. You do that to your own people!(&039;德国老司机驾校&039;这个名字耳熟吗?八个中国男人。住在德国。猎杀你们自己国家的女性。下药。拍摄。管她们叫&039;汽车&039;,管下药叫&039;加油&039;。你们对自己人做这种事!)"
他眼中翻涌着无法理解的愤怒:"And you say you are her safe place?(然后你说你是她的避风港?)"
"Protecting her? From what? From you?(保护她?防谁?防你吗?)"
"诶——"你干巴巴地出声想要制止这场争论。Krueger覆上你的手背捏了下,温热有力。
"这就是你们的手段?"Zimo语气冷硬,"A bunch of twisted fucks orchestrate a crime, and you pin it on a whole nation of men just to mark your territory?(一群变态搞出来的罪行,你们为了圈地盘,就要把它扣在整个国家男人的头上?)"他冷冷凝视K?nig,"Generalize and attack when you feel threatened?(觉得受威胁了就随便盖帽子乱咬人?)"
"I speak facts.(我说的是事实。)"K?nig冷哼,"Your culture don&039;t protect them!(你们的文化根本不保护她们!)"他猛地往前一步,没放稳的奶瓶"哐当"歪倒,牛奶溅了你一脚背,连带着草编垫子都湿了一块。
"哦不——"你龇牙咧嘴,脚趾开花。
Krueger眼疾手快扯过几张纸巾,裹住你脚背上有奶渍的地方擦拭:"Sorgf?ltig. She is wet because of you.(小心。她因为你湿了。)"他抬头责备K?nig,
"Ghost."Soap压低声音,"Ye didn&039;t tell me she was...I mean, Bloody hell, Lt. You move fast.(你没告诉我她……我是说,见鬼了,中尉。你动作够快的。)"
"Shut it, Johnny.(闭嘴,Johnny。)"
"Thought she was just a runner. Didn&039;t know she took a souvenir with her.(以为她只是离家出走。没想到她还带了个纪念品走。)"Soap凑过去,手肘撞了一下Ghost的胳膊,"How long you been holding out on us?(你瞒了我们多久了?)"
Ghost:"You got gear to check, don&039;t you?(你有装备要检查,是不是?)"
你在等待检测棒显性的时候还能听到外面压低的谈论,有种偷听八卦的趣味。虽然这个八卦对象是你自己。
"You shouldn&039;t have ambushed her with it, Keegan.(你不该拿这玩意儿去吓唬她,基根。)"Krueger的声音。
Keegan:"She hasn&039;t had a cycle since Mexico. Or Switzerland. You noticed it too.(从墨西哥之后,或者瑞士之后,她就没来过生理期。你也注意到了。)"
外面出现了短暂的寂静。
"Wait, wait, wait...(等等,等等,等等……)"Soap的声音再次响起,不可置信,"&039;Since Switzerland&039;? He mean... it might nay even be yours?(‘从瑞士之后’?他的意思是……那甚至可能都不是你的?)"
"Aber das ist unm?glich. We wiped the servers in Switzerland. Twice.(但是这不可能。我们在瑞士清理了服务器。两次。)"
Zimo看了你一眼,根据你之前告诉他的一些细节推出了事件大概的原委。
Zimo:"What level of surveillance did you scrub? Street cams? Store security? Traffic lights?(你们清理了什么级别的监控?街头监控?商店安保?红绿灯?)"
"Everything digital in a two-mile radius of that shooting.(那场枪击案半径两英里内所有的数字监控。)"Ghost沉声,"I ran the sweeps. Nothing got out.(我进行了扫描。什么都没漏掉。)"
"So it&039;s not Mexico. It&039;s the shooting.(所以不是在墨西哥。是那场枪击案。)"Keegan接话,眉头皱起。
"If Graves knows.(如果格瑞夫斯知道了。)"Nikto开口,声音低哑,"It means Shepherd knows.(那就意味着谢菲尔德知道了。)"
"No.(不。)"Ghost忽然笃定地发言,"Graves won&039;t say a bloody word to Shepherd.(格瑞夫斯那混蛋连个该死的字都不会跟谢菲尔德透露。)"
"Why?"Zimo盯着Ghost问,"They&039;re on the same leash, aren&039;t they?(他们不是拴在同一条狗链上的吗?)"
"Not anymore.(现在不是了。)"Ghost扯过一张纸巾擦了擦手,"Five days ago, Graves flew to the Pentagon. Stomped right into Shepherd&039;s office.(五天前,格瑞夫斯飞到了五角大楼。大摇大摆地进了谢菲尔德的办公室。)"
他将纸巾揉成一团,掷向垃圾桶。
"Heard it got loud enough that the guards outside had to pretend they were deaf. Screaming match.(听说吵得很大声,外面的警卫都得装聋。一场彻头彻尾的争吵。)"
Soap刚灌了一口水,闻言直接呛咳出声:"Are you kidding me?(你在开玩笑吗?)"他咳嗽着拍胸口,"Those yakuza toys are basically reinforced tin cans pared to Atlas tech.(那些日本黑帮的玩具,跟巨神科技比起来,基本上就是加固过的锡罐子。)"
"Soap is right.(Soap说得对。)"Keegan看向你,"The Yakuza gear you saw? It&039;s EXOskeleton Lite. Black market ripoffs.(你看到的那些黑帮装备?那是轻量级外骨骼的残次品。黑市上的仿制品。)"
"Atlas makes the real deal.(巨神制造的才是真家伙。)"他停顿了一下,"Their EXOs…they integrate with the nervous system. Neural link.(他们的外骨骼……是和神经系统整合的。神经链接。)"
好家伙,科技这么发达?那岂不是EVA指日可待?
"Mitchell&039;s arm.(米切尔的手臂。)"Ghost为你普及了一下有关米切尔的事,"Lost his original in Seoul. Atlas gave him a new one.(他在首尔失去了原来那条。巨神给了他一条新的。)"Ghost低头,握了一下手,"It&039;s drilled into the bone. Wired to the spine.(它是钻进骨头里的。和脊椎连接。)"
"巨神对待员工真好。"你忍不住感慨。
"Because he is Atlas CEO Irons&039;s most trusted confidant and a core figure in the Atlas Corporation.(因为他是巨神CEO艾恩斯最器重的亲信,是巨神集团的核心人物。)"
