Chapter 10

chapter ten No! QUINT His face is pale and there are dark circles beneath his eyes. "It's been fun, friend," he says. He coughs twice. "Tell the world—tell the world our story..." There's an aching in the back of my throat. My stomach rolls as I look down at the injury, expecting

第十章不！昆特：他脸色苍白，眼圈很黑。 “这很有趣，朋友，”他说。 他咳嗽了两次。“告诉世界，告诉世界我们的故事……” 我的喉咙后面有点痛。 当我低头看着伤口时，我的胃在翻滚，期待着

to see something bloody and awful: a razor-sharp quill slicing through my best friend. But I see none of that. Tears—real tears!—well up behind my eyeballs. I sigh. "I know you want to do a dramatic Hollywood good-bye. But dude, you're one hundred percent fine! Your bathrobe is just pinned to the headstone." "Wait, for real, I'm OK?" "Yes!" I say, grabbing hold of the needle. I start to tug but immediately yank my hand away. It's razor sharp.

看到一些血腥可怕的东西：一把锋利的羽毛笔刺穿了我最好的朋友。 但我什么都没看到。Tears-real眼泪!-就在我眼球后面。 我叹了口气。“我知道你想以戏剧性的好莱坞式方式告别。 但是伙计，你百分之百没事！你的浴袍就别在墓碑上了。” “等等，说真的，我没事吧？”“是的!”我说着，抓住了针。 我开始拉，但马上就把我的手抽走了。 它像剃刀一样锋利。

The ground shakes as the Hairy Eyeball Monster hurtles down the hill. "Quint, quick, out of the bathrobe!" I say. "I'll be naked!" he exclaims. "You'll have your boxers!" "But I'll be chilly!" he cries. The roar of the barreling monster grows closer. "Chilly or dead, Quint," I bark. "Your choice!" Quint mutters something. He tries to get one arm out of the robe, but he ends up sort of looping it around himself. In seconds, he's completely upside down, stuck even more than before, and he's managed to turn his goofy bathrobe into what appears to be a makeshift straitjacket.

当毛茸茸的眼球怪物从山上冲下来时，地面震动了。 “昆特，快，脱下浴袍！”我说。 “我要光着身子！”他喊道。 “你可以穿四角裤！”“但是我会冷的！”他叫道。 桶怪的吼声越来越近。 “不是冷就是死，昆特。”我叫道。 “你的选择!”昆特咕哝着什么。 他试图把一只胳膊从长袍里拿出来，但最后他把它绕在了自己身上。 在几秒钟内，他完全颠倒了，比以前更卡住了，他成功地把他那件愚蠢的浴袍变成了一件临时的紧身衣。

This could be going better. Every few moments a KRASH rings out as another headstone bursts and the Hairy Eyeball closes in. "Quint!" I yell, finally just grabbing hold of him and tugging. "Are you trying to get us killed?" He is so tangled in the bathrobe that the whole thing just ends up getting sliced to pieces as I yank him to his feet. Half-naked, he sprints down the hill and I follow. I crane my neck. The eyeball begins to tremble and shake—and I realize, with supreme terror, that

本可以做得更好的。 每隔几分钟就会响起一声喀拉什，另一块墓碑炸开，毛眼球靠近。 “五胞胎!”我大叫，终于抓住了他，使劲地拽。 “你是想害死我们吗？”他被浴袍缠住了，当我把他拽起来的时候，整个浴袍都被切成了碎片。 他半裸着冲向山下，我紧随其后。 我伸长脖子。眼球开始颤抖，我意识到，怀着极度的恐惧

we're about to wind up on the wrong end of a barrage of ten thousand needles. "Quint! Cover! Now!" We slip behind the two nearest headstones. And just in time— Flip, flip flip NEEDLE ATTACK! Needles pepper our little tombstone defenses. The cement cracks and breaks and crumbles. I feel like I'm in some video game with the world's most

我们将会被成千上万的枪林弹雨所包围。 “五胞胎!封面!现在!”我们溜到最近的两座墓碑后面。 就在时间-翻转，翻转，翻转针攻击！针刺刺满了我们小小的墓碑防御工事。 水泥裂缝、破裂、破碎。 我感觉我在和世界上最

poorly designed cover system. Like, not Uncharted. Something cruddy. "What do we do?" Quint hollers. "Um, off the top of my head? Maybe, y'know, LEAVE! AS SOON AS IT STOPS SHOOTING!" "But the zombie parade!" Quint cries. "I must know more!" "Quint, I'm not dying in a cemetery! It's too fitting! Too perfect!" "Fine," Quint says. "But if it is a pied-piper thing, The Shrieking will occur again. And next time, we will track down the source." "Sure, fine, deal!" I shout. "Assuming we get out of here alive!" Finally, the barrage of needles stops. I peek around the side. My tombstone cover is cracked and the stone is filled with needles. The Hairy Eyeball Monster is bald now. Its needles have all been launched. It reminds me of one of those creepy, hairless cats—but instead of skin, it's made of, like, eyeball covering. It's like... the Hairless Eyeball Monster.

设计不良的覆盖系统。 不是《神秘海域》。透光不均匀的。 “我们该怎么办？”五胞胎大喊着。 “嗯，即兴发挥？” 也许，你知道，离开！只要它停止射击！”“但是僵尸游行！”五胞胎哭。 “我必须知道更多！”“昆特，我不要死在墓地里！”太合身了！太完美了!”“很好，”昆特说。 “但如果这是一个吹笛者的事情，尖叫将再次发生。 下次，我们会追查源头的。” “当然，行，一言为定！”我喊。 “前提是我们能活着离开这里！”最后，针阵停止了。 我从侧面偷看了一眼。我的墓碑盖裂开了，石头上布满了针。 毛眼球怪物现在秃顶了。 它的针已经全部发射了。 它让我想起了那些令人毛骨悚然的无毛猫——但它不是皮肤，而是由眼球覆盖物制成的。 这就像……无毛眼球怪物。
