Chapter 20

Chapter Twenty My winter action outfit's hood tugs at me. It's tight around my throat. I manage to loosen it, so I can breathe better. And just in time to gasp— The curtains open with a whoosh, revealing the IMAX screen. Far below, I see a figure, stepping from the darkness... Hello heroes.

第二十章我的冬季运动服的兜帽拉着我。 它紧紧地缠绕着我的喉咙。 我设法放松它，这样我就能呼吸得更好。 就在大家喘不过气来的时候，窗帘嗖的一声拉开了，露出了IMAX屏幕。 在远处，我看到一个人影，从黑暗中走出来…… 你好英雄。

Evie taps the Louisville Slicer against the seats as she walks along the front row. My heart growls I mean, heart growling isn't a thing, but that's basically what happens. I'm raging on the inside as I watch her grip the thing she stole and used to set this all off! My blade! My weapon! We watch, helpless, as Evie approaches Dirk. She places the Louisville Slicer in his hands and wraps his fingers around the handle. Evie looks to the screen. "Ghazt!" Evie calls out. Her voice is high- excited but nervous. 'It is time, my general.' Silence for a moment. And then Evie shrieks" she shrieks in the language of .e...c.. .*...XI.. ....dfD..d! The awful words hang in the stillness of the theater. Then- An ear-splitting CRACK erupts and every single speaker booms. I gulp. "I guess Ghazt heard her...." Behind us, the projector hums to life. A bright white light showers the screen.

伊维沿着前排走着，轻拍着路易斯维尔切片机的座位。 我的心在咆哮我的意思是，心在咆哮不是一件事，但基本上就是这样。 当我看着她握着她偷来的东西并用来引爆这一切的时候，我内心很愤怒！我的刀!我的武器!我们无助地看着伊维走近德克。 她把路易斯维尔切片机放在他手里，把他的手指放在把手上。 伊薇看着屏幕。“Ghazt !”伊薇叫道。 她的声音很激动，但很紧张。 “是时候了，将军。”沉默了一会儿。 然后伊薇尖叫了起来，她尖叫的语言是…… 那可怕的话语悬在剧院的寂静中。 然后——一声震耳欲聋的爆裂声爆发了，每个扬声器都轰鸣起来。 我吞咽。“我猜Ghazt听到了她的声音....” 在我们身后，放映机轰鸣着启动了。 一道明亮的白光如雨点般照射在屏幕上。

Dirk is silhouetted in shadow below, holding up the blade. Hanging from Meathook, I can just make out the side of Dirk's face. It is a mask of undead features. Dirk must be about... -94% zombie!- Evie turns, flashing me a smile. "Jack," she says. "This must really eat you up inside. Your

德克的剪影在下面的阴影中，他举着剑。 挂在Meathook上，我只能看清德克的半边脸。 这是一个具有亡灵特征的面具。 德克一定是……-94%僵尸!-伊薇转过身来，对我微微一笑。 “杰克，”她说。“你心里一定很难受吧。 你的

weapon. Your friend. Being used to usher ancient cosmic evil into your world. You're kinda lousy at being a hero, aren't you?" Oh no, she didn't. I am going to hammer some villain. Jack eyes on the prize, Dirk, Dirk, and not letting the ancient evil be ushered forth. The massive IMAX screen is suddenly a swirling pool: dark colors splashing and neon streaks glowing. It's like liquid metal. Light bursts and flashes on the screen. It has a power to it—I feel my hair blow back, like I'm looking into the eye of a swirling storm.

的武器。你的朋友。被用来将远古的宇宙邪恶引入你们的世界。 你不太擅长当英雄，是吧？”哦，不，她没有。 我要狠狠地揍一个坏蛋。 杰克盯着奖品，德克，德克，不让古老的邪恶被引出来。 巨大的IMAX屏幕突然变成了一个漩涡池：黑暗的色彩飞溅，霓虹灯闪烁。 它就像液态金属。灯光在屏幕上闪烁。 它有一种力量——我感觉我的头发向后吹，就像我正看着一个漩涡的风暴眼。

I see flashing images—like zooming at hyperspeed through a string of galaxies. Worlds and dimensions—things my mind can't even comprehend. And I can do nothing but watch. "Guys," I whisper. "Her plan is nearly complete. All three steps..." Number one, get an artifact that has destroyed a cosmic being complete. NO.2 get a recently zombies human body for gasp to enter like 98 percent complete NO.3 have the recently zombies Human body hold the artifact, then say some words. So the monster soul enters the body, currently moving ahead at a speed that is way too fast.

我看到闪烁的图像，就像在一串星系中以超高速缩放。 世界和维度——我的大脑甚至无法理解的东西。 我只能眼睁睁地看着。 “伙计们，”我低声说。她的计划几乎完成了。 三步走……”第一，得到一件能彻底摧毁一个宇宙生物的神器。 第2个让一个最近的僵尸人体喘着气进入像98%完成第3个让最近的僵尸人体拿着神器，然后说一些话。 所以怪物的灵魂进入身体，目前以太快的速度前进。

I don't think Meathook likes us chatting—'cause he suddenly swings us into the balcony ledge. Sharp pain shoots through my belly. There's something daggering into my side. I reach into my pocket, and I realize— The zombie action figures! The custom ones that Evie made! It's the height of geekiness. The peak of everything I love. The peak of, in my mind, good. "Hey, Evie!" I shout. you made these. You're the geekiest of the geeks. You'd fit in perfectly with us instead of making bad-guy stuff. Come join us. He can do good guy stuff together.

我想Meathook不喜欢我们聊天——因为他突然把我们甩到阳台的窗台上。 我的肚子一阵剧痛。 有什么东西刺进我的身体。 我把手伸进口袋，然后发现-僵尸人偶！伊薇做的定制的！这是极客的高度。 我爱的一切的顶峰。 巅峰的，在我心中，美好。 “嘿,艾维!”我喊。这些是你做的。 你是极客中最极客的。 你会很适合我们而不是做坏人的事。 来加入我们吧。他可以一起做些好人的事。
