Chapter 15

Chapter 15 YOU CAN BLOW OUT THE CANDLES, BUT DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES! Jodi's birthday celebration was simple. It was just the five of them, with no secrets and no surprises. Exactly what she'd asked for. They were roasting marshmallows in Ash's backyard. The fire was getting low. "I should ask my parents for more wood," Ash said.

第十五章你可以吹灭蜡烛，但不要闭上眼睛！乔迪的生日庆祝很简单。 只有他们五个人，没有秘密，也没有惊喜。 这正是她想要的。 他们在阿什家后院烤棉花糖。 火渐渐小了。“我应该向父母要更多的木头，”阿什说。

"Allow me," said Jodi. And she tossed her spy notebook into the fire.

“请允许我。”乔迪说。她把她的间谍笔记本扔进了火里。

"Oh no!" said Po. "Don't tell me you're giving up the spy life?" "I think I've outgrown it," Jodi said with a grin. "Anyway, it didn't feel right spying on my friends. I should have trusted you." "To be fair, we were telling white lies," said Ash. "We meant well, but maybe we shouldn't have done that when there were real mysteries hounding us." "I guess it's a good time to give you my present," Morgan said, and handed her a package. Jodi unwrapped it eagerly. She laughed when she saw what it was. "Another notebook?" she asked cheerfully. "Not for spying," Morgan said. "For sleuthing. After all, you solved the mystery of the Evoker King." Jodi thought about it a moment. Then she nodded. "I suppose I did. And I can still be a detective without being a spy. I'll need a totally different hat, though…."

“哦，不！”阿宝说。“别告诉我你要放弃间谍的生活？”“我想我已经长大了，”乔迪笑着说。 “不管怎么说，监视我的朋友感觉不太对。 我应该相信你的。” “说句公道话，我们说的都是善意的谎言，”阿什说。 “我们本意是好的，但当真正的谜团缠着我们的时候，也许我们不应该那么做。” “我想现在是给你礼物的好时机，”摩根说着，递给她一个包裹。 乔迪急切地打开包裹。 当她看到那是什么东西时，她笑了。 “另一本笔记本？”她高兴地问。 “不是为了间谍，”摩根说。 “侦查。毕竟，你解开了永世之王的谜团。” 乔迪想了一会儿。 然后她点点头。“我想是的。 我不做间谍也能做个警探。 不过我需要一顶完全不同的帽子....”

"Speaking of spying," Harper said. "Doc told me it was safe to use her tech to fix my phone. The glitch is officially out of the system." "Which means the Evoker King can't see Woodsword anymore," Po said. "Whew." "Probably," Harper said. "But we're up against an actual thinking computer program. I'm not taking any chances with my privacy." She held up her phone. "I'm disabling the camera on this thing for good." Jodi grinned. "Should we say goodbye first?" Morgan grinned too. "Just in case he's in there somewhere?" "I like that idea," Ash said. Harper handed Po the phone. "You've got the longest arms, Po." Po held the phone up. "Everyone gather around!" he said. "Selfie position!"

“说到间谍，”哈珀说。 “医生告诉我，用她的技术修理我的手机是安全的。 这个故障已经正式排除在系统之外了。” “也就是说唤醒王再也见不到林剑了。”阿宝说。 “呼。”“可能吧，”哈珀说。 “但我们面对的是一个真正会思考的计算机程序。 我不会拿我的隐私冒险。” 她举起手机。“我要永远关掉这玩意儿的摄像头。” 乔迪•咧嘴一笑。“我们应该先说再见吗？”摩根也咧嘴一笑。 “万一他在那里的什么地方？”“我喜欢这个主意，”阿什说。 哈珀把电话递给阿宝。 “你的胳膊最长，阿宝。” 阿宝拿起电话。“大家都过来！”他说。 “有问题的位置!”

They all stuck their heads close together. They put on their toughest faces. Po cleared his throat, then pressed the big red button. "Are you listening, Evoker King?" he asked. "Can you see us right now? Because we're not afraid of you, blockhead. And we're coming for you!" They all laughed. Jodi enjoyed a moment of perfect birthday happiness. And then she heard that sound again. Low,

他们都把头靠在一起。 他们摆出最强硬的面孔。 阿宝清了清喉咙，然后按下红色的大按钮。 “你在听吗，埃弗克·金？”他问道。 “你现在能看到我们吗？” 因为我们不怕你，笨蛋。 我们来救你了！”他们都笑了。 乔迪享受着完美的生日快乐。 然后她又听到了那个声音。 低,

sinister laughter. This time, it was coming from Harper's phone. "See you in the game, then," said the voice.

邪恶的笑声。这次是从哈珀的手机发出的。 “那么，比赛中见。”那个声音说。
