081 谋划计策

旁白 neutral

Zann's friends headed toward the wormhole. Zann noticed that Gliss' arms and legs were shaking

Zann的朋友们朝虫洞走去。Zann注意到Gliss的胳膊和腿在发抖。

旁白 neutral

He winced, remembering how painful it had looked when she'd ripped off the magical goggles

他皱起眉，想起她扯下魔法护目镜时那痛苦的样子。

旁白 neutral

" Wait," he said to his friends." Are you sure you want to come with me?

“等等，”他对朋友们说，“你们确定要跟我来吗？

旁白 neutral

I mean, really sure? It could be dangerous. Especially if Morb is involved."

我的意思是，真的确定吗？可能会很危险。尤其是如果Morb参与其中。”

旁白 neutral

" Of course we're sure," Perda said." Right, guys?"

“我们当然确定，”Perda说，“对吧，伙伴们？”

旁白 neutral

Gliss was still trembling, but she smiled

Gliss还在发抖，但她笑了笑。

旁白 neutral

" You'd better not quit now, Zann. I don't want to think I defied Wyssa's command for nothing!"

“你现在最好别放弃，Zann。我可不想我违抗Wyssa的命令是白费力气！”

旁白 neutral

" Yeah." Darb took Gliss' hand." Besides, we make a good team. And we want to help."

“是啊。”Darb握住Gliss的手。“再说，我们是个好团队。而且我们想帮忙。”

旁白 neutral

" Okay. Thanks." Zann glanced at the wormhole

“好的。谢谢。”Zann瞥了一眼虫洞。

旁白 neutral

" But we don't have Wyssa to guide us anymore. We need a plan."

“但现在我们没有了Wyssa的指引。我们需要一个计划。”

旁白 neutral

" Good point." Perda paced back and forth in front of the wormhole." Does anyone have any good ideas?"

“有道理。”佩达在虫洞前来回踱步。“有人想到好主意吗？”

旁白 neutral

" Wyssa said Morb left a bunch of terrified worlds behind him," Darb said

“维萨说莫布留下一大堆惊恐的世界，”达布说。

旁白 neutral

" Maybe we could start visiting worlds and asking people about Morb. That might give us some clues."

“也许我们可以开始探访各个世界，向人们打听莫布。说不定能发现线索。”

旁白 neutral

Zann shook his head." I'm not sure we should visit worlds randomly

赞摇了摇头。“我不确定我们该漫无目的地探访世界。

旁白 neutral

We might end up back in that no-magic world again."

说不定又会落到那个没有魔法的世界。”

旁白 neutral

Perda shuddered." Or Fardark, or stinky Niffia, or that crazy cloud world."

佩达打了个哆嗦。“或者是法达克，或是臭烘烘的尼菲亚，或是那个疯疯癫癫的云世界。”

旁白 neutral

She was still pacing. Just then her foot hit a stone, which tumbled toward Zann

她还在踱步。这时脚踢到一块石头，石头滚向赞。

旁白 neutral

" Hey, check it out," said Zann, bending down to pick up the stone

“嘿，快看这个，”赞说着弯腰捡起了石头。

旁白 neutral

" This looks just like my message stone!"

“这看起来跟我的传信石一模一样！”

旁白 neutral

Perda shrugged." So what? It looks like a stone."

佩达耸耸肩。“那又怎么样？就是块石头的样子。”

旁白 neutral

" No, I mean I think they're the same type of stone."

“不，我是说我觉得它们是同一种石头。”

旁白 neutral

Zann fished out his message stone. It still felt warm

赞掏出了他的传信石。它摸起来还是温热的。

旁白 neutral

He held the two stones side by side." See?"

他把两块石头并排放在一起。“瞧？”

旁白 neutral

" Weird," Darb said." They do look alike."

“奇怪，”达布说，“它们看起来确实很像。”

旁白 neutral

Gliss glanced around." Look, there are more stones like that!"

格丽丝环顾四周。“看，还有更多那样的石头呢！”

旁白 neutral

She was right. Dozens of similar stones lay near the wormhole

她说得对。虫洞附近散落着几十块类似的石头。

旁白 neutral

" I assumed my stone came from the Cave of the Unknown because I'd never seen one like it anywhere else in Magica," said Zann

“我原本以为我的石头来自未知洞穴，因为我在魔法天地的其他地方从没见过这样的石头。”赞说道。

旁白 neutral

" But maybe it actually came from this world."

“但也许它其实来自这个世界。”

旁白 neutral

" That makes sense," Darb said." This is Wyssa's home world, right?

“有道理，”达布说，“这是薇萨的家乡，对吧？

旁白 neutral

That's probably why she used that stone to communicate with your parents."

可能这就是她用那种石头和你父母联络的原因。”

旁白 neutral

" And with Morb," Perda added." It also explains why none of us had ever heard of message stones before."

“莫布也是。”佩达补充道，“这也解释了为什么我们之前都没听说过传信石。”

旁白 neutral

" Teplo and Boz knew about them," Gliss pointed out

“可泰普罗和博兹知道啊。”格利斯指出。

旁白 neutral

Perda shrugged." They're Magic Masters. It's their job to know lots of obscure stuff."

佩达耸耸肩。“他们是魔法大师。知道很多冷僻的东西很正常。”

旁白 neutral

Zann squeezed the stone in his hand

赞握紧了手中的石头。

旁白 neutral

If his stone came from this world, that might explain why he'd had that extra-vivid dream here earlier

如果他的石头来自这个世界，那或许能解释为什么他早前会在这里做那么逼真的梦。

旁白 neutral

" I think we should look for a place to play my parents' message again," he said." There might be more clues."

“我觉得我们应该找个地方，再播放一次我父母的留言，”他说，“说不定还有更多线索。”

旁白 neutral

" Clues? Like what?" Perda sounded dubious

“线索？什么样的线索？”佩达听起来有些怀疑。

旁白 neutral

" I don't see any place to plug in the stone," said Gliss, looking around

“我没看到哪儿能插这块石头啊。”格利斯环顾四周说道。

旁白 neutral

" She's right," Perda said." Anyway, I just thought of another plan

“她说得对，”佩达说，“不过，我刚想到了另一个计划。

旁白 neutral

We should try to follow Wyssa. She's looking for Morb, right?

我们应该试着跟踪薇萨。她也在找莫布，对吧？

旁白 neutral

And Morb is looking for Zann's parents

而且莫布也在找赞的父母。

旁白 neutral

So if we can catch up to Wyssa, we might find Zann's parents too."

所以如果我们能追上薇萨，或许也能找到赞的父母。"

旁白 neutral

" Wyssa left a while ago, though," Darb said

"可是，薇萨已经离开有一会儿了，"达布说。

旁白 neutral

" We'll never find her in the vortex now."

"我们现在在虫洞里肯定找不到她了。"

旁白 neutral

" Besides, how do we know we can trust her?" Zann asked

"再说，我们怎么知道能信任她呢？"赞问道。

旁白 neutral

" Wyssa was the one who brought those flizzes to Morb

"就是薇萨把那些飞毛球带给莫布的。

旁白 neutral

She also tried to bring him a scatter beast."

她还试图给他弄来一只散射兽。"

旁白 neutral

" That was earlier," Perda said." She's not working with Morb anymore."

"那是之前的事了，"佩达说。"她现在不跟莫布一伙了。"

旁白 neutral

Darb shrugged." Still, she may not be on our side

达布耸耸肩。"就算这样，她也未必站在我们这边。

旁白 neutral

She broke Zann's Shackle spell and put that nasty spell on Gliss, remember?"

她解除了赞的束缚咒，还给格利斯施了那个恶咒，记得吗？"

旁白 neutral

Gliss nodded." Plus, she used a Truth spell on Zann without his consent, and — oh! That's it!"

格利斯点点头。"而且，她未经赞同意就对他用了真言咒，还有——哦！就是这个！"

旁白 neutral

" That's what?" Perda asked

"什么就是这个？"佩达问。

旁白 neutral

Gliss pointed at Zann's forehead." Look! When Wyssa touched Zann's face to do the Truth spell, she left purple fingerprints on his skin!"

格利斯指着赞的额头。"看！薇萨碰赞的脸施真言咒时，在他皮肤上留下了紫色的指纹！"

旁白 neutral

" She did?" Zann said, reaching up to wipe away the marks

"有吗？"赞说着，抬手想去擦掉痕迹。

旁白 neutral

" Stop!" Perda leaped forward, grabbing Zann's hands before he could touch his forehead

"别动！"佩达跳上前，在赞碰到额头前抓住了他的手。

旁白 neutral

" Don't wipe them off. Maybe we can use that purple stuff to track Wyssa the same way she used it to track Gliss and Darb!"

"别擦掉。也许我们可以用那些紫色的东西追踪薇萨，就像她用来追踪格利斯和达布那样！"

旁白 neutral

" I was thinking the same thing," said Gliss with a smile

"我也是这么想的，"格利斯笑着说。

旁白 neutral

" You mean we can figure out which wormholes have been used recently, and see if she's in those worlds?" Zann said

"你是说我们可以找出最近被使用过的虫洞，看看她是不是去了那些世界？"赞说。

旁白 neutral

Perda looked excited." It's the only good plan we have. What do you say, Zann?"

佩达看起来很兴奋。"这是我们唯一的好办法了。你觉得呢，赞？"

旁白 neutral

Zann turned his message stone over in his hand

赞在手里翻动着他的传信石。

旁白 neutral

" You're right," he said." Let's not waste any more time."

"你说得对，"他说。"我们别再浪费时间了。"

旁白 neutral

" Okay." Gliss glanced at the wormhole." We'd better make sure we're all shackled together this time

"好吧。"格利斯瞥了一眼虫洞。"这次我们最好确保我们全都绑在一起。

旁白 neutral

We don't want to get separated again."

我们不想再走散了。"

旁白 neutral

" Good idea." Perda held out her hands." Join friction, everyone

"好主意。"佩达伸出双手。"大家摩擦手，

旁白 neutral

We'll make this one a Mutual Shackle spell so any of us can break it if we need to."

这次我们施一个相互束缚咒，这样在需要时，我们任何人都能解开它。"

旁白 neutral

" Just don't do that in the vortex," Zann warned

"在虫洞里可别这么做，"赞警告说。

旁白 neutral

Soon the four of them were shackled together

很快，他们四个就被绑在了一起。

旁白 neutral

Zann even conjured a harness for Zing

赞甚至还为小叮变出了一副挽具。

旁白 neutral

" Everyone ready?" Darb asked

“大家都准备好了吗？”达布问。

旁白 neutral

" Let's go!" Perda said, leading the way toward the wormhole

“我们走！”佩达说着，带头向虫洞走去。

旁白 neutral

Zann held his breath as they all dived into the vortex

当大家一同跳进漩涡时，赞屏住了呼吸。

旁白 neutral

It felt much scarier being there without Wyssa

没有薇萨在身边，这里感觉可怕多了。

旁白 neutral

But he tried not to think about that

但他尽量不去想这些。

旁白 neutral

" It's working!" Gliss cried, staring at Zann's forehead." The fingerprints are glowing!"

“成功了！”格利斯盯着赞的额头喊道。“指纹在发光！”

旁白 neutral

Zann's left hand was shackled to Perda

赞的左手和佩达铐在一起。

旁白 neutral

He used his right hand to grab the nearest wormhole

他用右手抓住最近的虫洞。

旁白 neutral

" Hang on, everyone!" he cried as he yanked his friends through

“大家抓紧！”他喊道，一把将朋友们拉了进去。

旁白 neutral

He felt the familiar sensation of passing through the wormhole. It felt weird but not unpleasant

他感到了穿越虫洞时的那种熟悉感觉，有些古怪，却并不难受。

旁白 neutral

Splash!

扑通！

旁白 neutral

" Drat! Aah!" Zann screamed in horror. They had just landed in a pool of boiling water!

“该死！啊！”赞惊恐地尖叫起来。他们竟落进了一池沸水里！
