Chapter 13

Chapter Thirteen When we met Jack, I told you of Rez, THE ancient, a force of evil from our dimension. But this book from Evi makes clear the legend of Rez existed here on Earth, too, not just in the monster dimension. The book calls Rezo one of the cosmic terrors from the Cosmic Beyond. Bardle says, ".e...c. is the greatest of the Cosmic Terrors. But there are others—creatures nearly as

当我们遇见杰克的时候，我告诉过你雷兹，远古的，来自我们次元的邪恶力量。 但这本来自Evi的书清楚地表明，Rez的传说也存在于地球上，而不仅仅是在怪物维度上。 书中称雷佐是来自宇宙彼岸的宇宙恐怖之一。 巴德尔说：“……是宇宙中最大的恐怖。 但也有其他生物——几乎一样

powerful and dangerous as him." "Is everyone who comes from your dimension a Cosmic Terror?" I ask. "Are you?" Bardle shakes his head. He looks offended that I would even suggest such a thing. "The Cosmic Terrors are pure evil. And they are not just from our dimension—they are from all dimensions and, at the same time, from no dimensions. Immortal, endless—the Cosmic Terrors live in the space between space." "According to this book," Quint says, "some people on Earth worshiped them thousands of years ago! They claimed to have once made contact with one of the Cosmic Terrors. Look..." Quint flips the pages of the book until he comes to a large drawing.

和他一样强大和危险。” “每个从你的次元来的人都是宇宙恐怖分子吗？”我问。 “你是?”巴德尔摇了摇头。 我竟然提出这样的建议，他看起来很生气。 “宇宙恐怖是纯粹的邪恶。 它们不仅来自我们的维度——它们来自所有维度，同时也来自无维度。 不朽，无穷无尽——宇宙恐怖存在于空间之间的空间。” “根据这本书，”昆特说，“几千年前，地球上的一些人崇拜他们！他们声称曾经与一个宇宙恐怖联系过。 看起来……”昆特翻着书，看到一幅大图。

I gasp. "A portal. We've seen something like that before. With Thrull!" Quint nods. "Right. Apparently, these worshipers had some success. They called themselves the Cabal of the Cosmic." "Cabal?" I ask. "What's that?" "It means, like, group," June says. "A tight group." "A clique..." I growl. "I hate cliques." "What about Blarg?" Dirk asks "And the King Wretch?"

我感到喘不过气来。“一个门户。我们以前见过类似的东西。 Thrull !”五胞胎点点头。“正确。 显然，这些崇拜者取得了一些成功。 他们称自己为宇宙阴谋集团。” “阴谋?”我问。“那是什么?”“它的意思是，像，团体，”琼说。 “一个紧密的团体。”“一个小团体……” 我咆哮。我讨厌拉帮结派。” “那布拉格呢？”德克问道：“那可怜虫国王呢？”

"Yeah," I say. "They have that evil stench that makes me know they aren't like the other good-guy monsters. And Thrull had it, too! Are they Cosmic Terrors?" Bardle says, "They are Servants of the Cosmic Terrors. Any creature can be a Servant—they need not be from a specific dimension. They must only commit their lives to aiding .e...c. in his quest to take over worlds. And the foulest of the brutish beasts—the Dozers, the Winged Wretches—they are Soldiers of the Cosmic Terrors." Quint looks at me. "Are you confused, Jack?" I nod. "Little bit." "Me too," Dirk says. June holds up her hand. "Hang on. I think I got it. It's kinda like school..."

“是的，”我说。“他们有一种邪恶的恶臭，让我知道他们不像其他善良的怪物。 瑟鲁也有！它们是宇宙恐怖吗？”巴德尔说：“他们是宇宙恐怖的仆人。 任何生物都可以成为仆人——他们不需要来自特定的次元。 他们必须奉献自己的生命来帮助…… 在他征服世界的过程中。 而最可恶的野兽——推土机，有翅膀的可恨之人——他们是宇宙恐怖的战士。” 昆特看着我。“你糊涂了吗，杰克？”我点头。 “一点”。“我也是，”德克说。 琼举起她的手。”等等。 我想我明白了。这有点像学校……”

You got the principal up top-Then the vice principal, and then the teachers and they're all ruling over us. The kids. Rezois like the principal. He's got a bunch of vice principles. And those are the rest of the cosmic terrorists and the teachers. Those are like the Cosmic Servants Blog, Thrall, the king wretch, the winged wretches and dozers are like teachers, helpers, And we're, well, we're still the kids. I guess I'm starting to get it. And I don't like it. "So Evie —she's a loony tune who decided to be a Cosmic Servant, too, huh? Well—big-question time— WHAT DOES SHE WANT?" "Based on her notes in the margins of this book, she intends to bring a specific Cosmic Terror to

校长在上面，然后是副校长，然后是老师，他们都在统治我们。 孩子们。Rezois喜欢校长。 他有一堆坏规矩。 这些是其余的宇宙恐怖分子和老师。 那些就像宇宙仆人博客，萨尔，可怜的国王，有翅膀的可怜人还有推土机就像老师，帮手，而我们，我们还是孩子。 我想我开始明白了。 我不喜欢这样。“这么说，伊薇——她是个疯子，居然也决定当宇宙仆人，是吗？” 好吧，问题来了——她想要什么？”“根据她在本书空白处的笔记，她打算把一种特定的宇宙恐怖带到

Earth," Bardle answers. "The book speaks of him as Ghazt the General." Quint shakes his head sorrowfully. "What kind of a villain writes in a library book?!" "Ghazt the General..." Dirk says softly. "Sounds bad." "Well... HOW is she going to bring this Ghazt terror here?" I exclaim. "If we know her plan, maybe we can stop her!" Bardle taps a page. "According to the symbology here, she is following a specific, ancient, three-step ritual. Step one of three: 'Recover an Artifact that has destroyed a Servant to the Cosmic Terrors.'" I look down, thinking hard. My eyes trace the cracked, splintered tile floor. I remember what Evie said, when we first encountered her. "It has begun." I lift my head. I see my friends. It hits all of us. A horrible moment of revelation and absolute terror....

地球。”巴德尔回答。“书上说他是将军Ghazt。” 昆特悲伤地摇了摇头。 “什么样的恶棍会在图书馆的书上写字？！”“将军万岁……” 德克轻声说。“听起来糟糕。” “嗯……她怎么能把这种迦特恐怖带到这里来呢？”我惊叫。 “如果我们知道她的计划，也许我们就能阻止她！”巴德尔轻敲一页。 “根据这里的符号学，她正在遵循一个特定的、古老的三步仪式。 第三步中的第一步：“恢复一个摧毁了宇宙恐怖的仆人的神器。”’”我低下头，沉思着。 我的眼睛看着碎裂的瓷砖地板。 我记得我们第一次见到艾薇时，她说过的话。 “已经开始了。”我抬起头。 我看到我的朋友。它打击了我们所有人。 一个可怕的启示和绝对恐怖的时刻....
