Chapter 4

Chapter 4 Ash Stands Alone! She Also Runs, Jumps, and Fights Alone. But I'm Sure She's Got This. She's Very Capable! The damaged lab was quickly blocked off and the hallway mopped, and school resumed as normal, although students and teachers all watched the classroom windows with concern. While Morgan and the others tried to focus on their school lessons, Ash and the rest of the visiting Wildling Scouts spent the day across the street at Stonesword Library.

第4章孤独的灰烬！她还会独自奔跑、跳跃和战斗。 但我肯定她有这个。 她很能干！受损的实验室很快被封锁，走廊被拖地，学校恢复了正常，尽管学生和老师都担心地看着教室的窗户。 当摩根和其他人努力集中精力学习功课时，阿什和其他来访的野人童子军在街对面的石字图书馆度过了一天。

Hours later, after a full day of carrying ruined books and furniture out to a dumpster, Ash's muscles ached. She wanted a shower and a nap. But her friends needed her. The Evoker King needed her. Ash decided that going into Minecraft might actually reinvigorate her. The decision wasn't that difficult when she saw the look of pure exhilaration on Harper's face. They were meeting in the cafetorium, with Ms. Minerva's permission. She'd even given them some snacks: fresh fruit and little cartons of milk. "I've got an idea," Harper said. "Mr. Mallory mentioned that the library's computers are still on, and that should include the networked PC we use for Minecraft. If I can connect your headset to that computer

几个小时后，阿什一整天都在把破损的书籍和家具搬到垃圾箱里，他的肌肉开始疼痛。 她想洗个澡，睡个午觉。 但她的朋友们需要她。 唤起者国王需要她。 阿什认为，进入《我的世界》或许能让她重拾活力。 当她看到哈珀脸上纯粹兴奋的表情时，这个决定就不难了。 他们在餐厅见面。 密涅瓦的许可。她甚至给了他们一些零食：新鲜水果和几盒牛奶。 “我有个主意，”哈珀说。 马洛里提到，图书馆的电脑还开着，应该包括我们用来玩《我的世界》的联网电脑。 如果我能把你的耳机连到电脑上

remotely by piggybacking off the school's Wi-Fi, then one of us should be able to get into the game from here." "That all makes sense, kind of," said Ash. "But why is Po covered in aluminum foil?" "Because I'm helping!" said Po. He held a spoon high up in the air. "It's possible that by taking on the aspect of a giant antenna, I'll boost the signal and help Harper's plan work." "It is technically possible," said Theo. He rubbed his chin doubtfully. "Likely? No. Possible? Sure." "Good enough for me!" said Po, pulling out a second spoon and holding it in the air.

通过学校的Wi-Fi远程连接，然后我们中的一个应该可以从这里进入游戏。” “这在某种程度上说得通，”阿什说。 “但是为什么阿宝身上裹着铝箔呢？”“因为我在帮忙！”阿宝说。 他把勺子高高地举在空中。 “有可能通过充当一个巨大的天线，我可以增强信号，帮助哈珀的计划实现。” “这在技术上是可行的，”西奥说。 他疑惑地揉了揉下巴。 “可能吗?否。可能吗?当然。” “对我来说已经足够好了！”阿宝说着，掏出第二把勺子，举在空中。

Harper turned back to Ash. "Doc's already boosted the school Wi-Fi to a ridiculous extreme. That's what makes this plan possible. Well, that and your headset." "Which is why you should be the one to go into the game," said Morgan. "Me?" said Ash. "I was sure you would want to." "I do," said Morgan, smiling. "But I've gotten better at sharing. And it's your headset, so fair is fair." His smile dropped. "But be careful. It felt like the

哈珀转向阿什。 “博士已经把学校的Wi-Fi提升到了一个荒谬的极限。 这就是使这个计划成为可能的原因。 嗯，还有你的耳机。” 摩根说：“这就是为什么你应该参加这场比赛。” “我？”阿什说。“我知道你会想要的。” “是的，”摩根微笑着说。 “但我已经变得更善于分享了。 这是你的耳机，所以公平就是公平。” 他的笑容消失了。“但是要小心。 感觉就像

entire Overworld was falling apart. Who knows what you'll find when you connect?" "Only one way to answer that," said Ash, and she donned her goggles. "I'm ready when you are, Harper." With Morgan's warning ringing in her ears, Ash expected the worse as she pulled the goggles into place and logged in. To her surprise, her avatar appeared just where she'd left it, on a tranquil, grassy plain, near a smattering of flowers. The sun was just peeking over a snow-capped mountain

整个世界都在分崩离析。 谁知道当你连接时你会发现什么？”“回答这个问题只有一个办法，”阿什说着，戴上了护目镜。 “你准备好了，我就准备好了，哈珀。” 摩根的警告在她耳边回响，阿什想到了最坏的情况，她把护目镜戴好，登录了。 令她惊讶的是，她的化身出现在她离开的地方，在一片宁静的草地上，附近有几朵花。 太阳刚刚从一座白雪皑皑的山上露出来

range, and Ash's bed, chest, and inventory were all just as she remembered. So far, so good. A low groan alerted her to new danger. She turned to see a zombie approaching her from the edge of a heavily shaded forest. As it stepped into the sunlight, the zombie's skin should have burst into flame. But the zombie didn't burst into flame. It didn't seem bothered by the sun at all. And Ash was standing there, unarmed. "Sword," she mumbled. "Where's my sword?" She quickly rifled through her inventory, selecting her best weapon: a diamond sword, enchanted with Sharpness. It would make exceptionally short work of a lowly zombie. Even if that zombie seemed strangely unbothered by sunlight. Ash thrust with her sword. But the sword never connected with the mob. She watched in amazement as her weapon broke apart into pixels before her very eyes. One moment it

阿什的床、箱子和存货都和她记忆中的一模一样。 到目前为止，一切顺利。一声低低的呻吟提醒她有新的危险。 她转过身来，看到一个僵尸从一片茂密的森林边缘向她走来。 当它走进阳光，僵尸的皮肤应该燃烧起来。 但僵尸并没有燃烧起来。 它似乎一点也不受太阳的影响。 阿什站在那里，手无寸铁。 “剑。”她咕哝道。“我的剑呢？”她迅速翻遍了她的库存，选择了她最好的武器：一把镶有锋利魔法的钻石剑。 它会让一个卑微的僵尸在短时间内完成任务。 即使那只僵尸似乎很奇怪地不受阳光的影响。 艾什挥剑刺去。 但这把剑从未与黑帮扯上关系。 她惊奇地看着她的武器在她眼前碎成碎片。 等一下
