49 67's Master

Chapter 49 67's Master 67! WHERE'S NERYS?" shouted an out-of-breath Peanut. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HER?" "Nerys? Who is Nerys?" replied the incapacitated robot. "Oh, you mean the miniscule Welsh human that I extracted from the lake earlier?" "You know exactly who I'm talking about," said Peanut, sharply. And why, Medium-sized Human, are you so interested in the whereabouts of Miniscule Welsh Human?" Just tell us where she is!" demanded Peanut. She could feel her heart beating faster as the anger rose. Ah, I think that I might know why you are so desperate to find her," said 67, slyly.

第49章 67的主人 67！ "内里斯在哪儿？"气喘吁吁的花生喊道。 "你把她怎么样了？" "内里斯？ 内里斯是谁呀？"动弹不得的机器人回答道。 "哦，你说的是我刚才从湖里捞出来的那个小小的威尔士人类对吧？" "你清楚我在说谁。"花生厉声说道。 "中等个头的人类啊，你为什么这么关心那个小个子威尔士人类的下落呢？" "快告诉我们她在哪儿！"花生怒声要求道。 愤怒涌上心头，她能感觉到自己的心跳越来越快。 "啊，我大概知道你为什么这么急着找她了。"67狡黠地说道。

Peanut shot a nervous look to her dad. "It's because she has Pencil Number One, correct?" said 67. Peanut went white. "Oh yes, Peanut Jones, I know all about the pencil. I assume you are worried that Miniscule Welsh Human might have given me Conté's prototype?" continued the RAZER. "67, this is your final warning. Tell us where Nerys is right now," Dad said quietly. "Do not worry, Gary Jones," said 67. "She is perfectly safe. And fret not, Peanut Jones, she still has the pencil. I can promise you that." "Either tell us where Nerys is RIGHT NOW," said Dad, his voice rising menacingly, "or I will personally make sure that you experience the shortest circuit in the history of robotics. Your restraining bolts, bad motivators and, er, flux capacitors will wish they had never been soldered together in the first place!" "Your scientifically inaccurate threats do not frighten me, Gary Jones," said 67. "Do you really think it matters what you do with me? Because, newsflash: it really doesn't. Not one quark. I am but a machine, built to serve my master, and I have already fulfilled my purpose. The plan has played out perfectly. Every step of the way, you humans have all done exactly what we wanted

花生紧张地瞥了爸爸一眼。 "这是因为她拿着一号铅笔，对不对？"67说道。 花生脸色一下子变白了。 "哦没错，花生·琼斯，我知道这支铅笔的所有事情。 我猜你是在担心那个小个子威尔士人类把孔特的原型笔给我了对不对？"剃刀机器人继续说道。 "67，这是我最后一次警告你。 马上告诉我们内里斯在哪儿。"爸爸平静地说道。 "别担心呀，加里·琼斯。"67说道。 "她安全得很。 也别发愁呀，花生·琼斯，铅笔还在她那儿。 我可以向你保证。" "要么现在立刻告诉我们内里斯在哪儿，"爸爸的声音带着威胁提了上来，"不然我会亲手让你体验一下机器人历史上最短的短路。 你的限位螺栓、坏激励器，还有呃，通量电容器都会后悔当初被焊在一起！" "你这些不科学的威胁可吓不倒我，加里·琼斯。"67说道。 "你真觉得你对我做什么有用吗？ 告诉你吧：根本没用。 一夸克的用都没有。 我不过是一台机器，生来服务我的主人，而我已经完成我的使命了。 计划进行得完美无缺。 一路走来，你们所有人都完全照着我们想要的做

you to, blindly doing our bidding at every single turn." "Our bidding?" said Leo, confused. "Your master? Are you talking about Alan? Has Josephine's little device-thingy knocked out your vision or something? Because, newsflash, we have just captured the big lummox! He's sitting right here with an ornate picture frame around him!" At this, the robot began to make a strange, unfamiliar noise. It sounded like... giggling. "Er, what are you doing?" said Leo. "Ha ha ha ha ha ha HA HA HA HA!" 67's giggling quickly grew into a full-on belly laugh. Up until this point in their lives, none of them had ever heard a robot emit so much as a chuckle before, let alone a guffaw as hearty as the one coming from 67. It was a truly strange, and slightly bone-chilling, sound. "What's so funny?" said Peanut. "I'll tell you what's so funny, Peanut Jones," replied the RAZER between cackles. "The idea that this knucklehead was ever important. The idea that this walking hunk of meat was ever anything more than necessary muscle." Alan frowned at the robot, an even more confused expression on his face than usual.

去做了，从头到尾都乖乖听我们摆布。" "听我们摆布？"利奥困惑地说道。 "你的主人？ 你说的是艾伦吗？ 难道约瑟芬的那个小装置打坏你的视力了吗？ 告诉你吧，我们刚刚抓住那个大块头了！ 他就坐在这里，还被华丽的画框框着呢！" 听到这话，机器人开始发出一种奇怪又陌生的声音。 那声音听起来像是……偷笑。 "呃，你在干什么呀？"利奥说道。 "哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈！" 67的偷笑很快变成了捧腹大笑。 在这之前，他们所有人从来没听过哪个机器人笑出过声，更别说像67这样响亮的哈哈大笑了。 这声音真的很奇怪，还有点让人后背发凉。 "有什么好笑的？"花生说道。 "我来告诉你什么这么好笑，花生·琼斯。"剃刀机器人在笑声间隙说道。 "这个蠢货很重要这种想法，才最好笑。 这个走路的肉块，不过就是我们需要的一块肌肉罢了。" 艾伦皱起眉头看着机器人，脸上比平时还要困惑。

"Was Alan my master? HA! HA! AH!" said the howling 67. Hang on," said Alan, flexing his bulging arms, which made the wooden frame creak. "What do you mean I was nothing more than necessary muscle?" "It's not really that hard to understand, Knuckle-headed Human, replied the chortling robot. "Even for a below-average thinker like you. "But... but... you told me that I would be given an important role," said Alan quietly. "That I would have my own office and everything. With a coffee machine, one of those little jellybean dispensers and a metal ball clinky-clanky swinging toy thing. "You see?" said the robot to Peanut between snickers. A total meathead. He has been played just as much as the rest of you have. I've said it before and I'll say it again, humankind really is a very basic species. Very basic indeed. Alan slumped to the floor, shaking his head. Dad and Leo released their grip slightly, and Peanut found herself feeling a little bit sorry for him.

"艾伦是我的主人？ 哈！哈！啊！"狂笑不止的67说道。 "等等，"艾伦活动了一下他粗壮的胳膊，弄得木框咯吱作响， "你说我不过就是块必要的肌肉是什么意思？" "这其实没那么难理解呀，蠢货人类，"笑着的机器人回答道， "哪怕是像你这么不怎么会动脑筋的人都能听懂。 "可是…… 可是……你跟我说我会得到一个重要的位置，"艾伦轻声说道， "说我会有自己的办公室什么的。 还有咖啡机，那种小小的软糖分发机，还有晃来晃去的金属摆球玩具。 "你看见了吧？"机器人忍着笑对花生说道。 完完全全一个无脑大块头。 他和你们其他人一样，都被耍得团团转。 我之前说过，现在再说一遍，人类真的是一个非常低级的物种。 真的非常低级。 艾伦瘫坐在地上，摇着脑袋。 爸爸和利奥稍微松了点手，花生不由得有点同情艾伦了。

"So, who have you been working with then?" Peanut asked 67. "Whose plan was it? Who is your master?" "Why, the same person that it has always been," replied the robot. "Mr White, of course. Again, I'm not sure if something's happened to your microcontrollers," said Rockwell. "But Mr White is currently knee-deep in plaster in the Rainbow Lake, being guarded by two superheroes and feeling very sorry for himself. I've just seen him with my own eyes. Are you sure about that, Tall Human?" said 67, ominously. "HELP ME! HELP ME, PLEASE!" The cry came from beneath the hatch in front of the desk. The one that had once led to the swimming pool full of rainbow-coloured water. "Nerys?" whispered Mum. "That sounds like Nerys!" She ran over and pulled open the wooden door. "TRACEY? PLEASE! HELP ME! I'M SCARED!" said Nerys from inside, her voice louder now that the hatch was open. "SHE'S IN HERE!" shouted Mum to the others. "Come on, we have to rescue her!" Wasting no time, she went straight down the hatch, closely followed by Dad, Leo and Doodle. DON'T WORRY, NERYS," Tracey yelled, her voice echoing around the now-empty pool room. "WE'RE HERE NOW! EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT!"

“那你到底一直在给谁干活呀？” 佩纳特问67号。 “这是谁的计划？ 你的主人是谁？” “哎，还能是谁，一直都是那个人呀，”机器人回答道。 “当然是怀特先生。 “我再问一遍，你的微控制器是不是出问题了？”罗克韦尔说道。 “可怀特先生现在浑身裹着石膏，被困在彩虹湖，被两名超级英雄看守着，正难受着呢。” 我可是亲眼看见他的。 “高个子人类，你确定吗？”67号阴沉沉地说道。 “救我！ 求求你，救救我！” 呼救声从桌子前方的舱门下方传了出来。 就是那扇从前通向满是彩虹色池水的游泳池的舱门。 “是内里斯吗？”妈妈轻声问道。 “听起来就是内里斯！” 她跑过去拉开了木门。 “特蕾西？ 求你了！ 救救我！ “我好害怕！”内里斯在里面说道，舱门打开后，她的声音响亮多了。 “她在这儿！”妈妈对着其他人大喊。 “快，我们得去救她！” 她一刻没耽搁，径直走下舱门，爸爸、里奥和杜德尔紧随其后。 别 “害怕，内里斯，”特蕾西大声喊道，声音在空荡荡的泳池室里回荡。 “我们已经到啦！” “一切都会好起来的！”
