林墨走进房间,仿佛穿过了某种沉重的记忆屏障.
Lin Mo stepped into the room, as if passing through a heavy barrier of memory.
四周空无一物,只剩他与那只黑狗.
The room was empty—only he and the black hound remained.
黑狗缓缓走到他面前,仰头看着他,眼神不再愤怒.
The black dog slowly approached and looked up at him, its eyes no longer angry.
它只是静静地站在那里,像是在等待一个动作.
It merely stood there, silently waiting for something.
林墨缓缓蹲下,伸出手,轻轻摸了摸它的头.
Lin Mo knelt down and reached out, gently stroking its head.
黑狗没有退缩,它发出低低的呜咽声,然后——
The black hound didn't retreat. It whimpered softly, then—
如雾气般,在他掌下逐渐消散,连同它身上的血与哀伤一同散去.
Like mist, it faded beneath his touch, along with its blood and sorrow.
系统提示出现在半空中,字体柔和而冰冷:
A system prompt floated midair, its text soft yet cold:
「017号玩家已完成赎罪选择,试炼通过.」
"Player 017 has completed the redemption choice. Trial passed."
「当前楼层通关成功.」
"Current floor cleared successfully."
「下一层:第三层 · 木偶医院 / 自我复写.」
"Next Floor: Floor Three – The Puppet Hospital / Self-Rewrite."
房间前方的墙壁缓缓裂开,露出一道圆形的金属门.
The front wall of the room slowly split open, revealing a circular metal door.
苏槐随即赶到,站在门前等他.
Su Huai arrived moments later, waiting silently at the threshold.
林墨走出房间,两人默契地对视一眼,不言而喻.
Lin Mo stepped out, and they exchanged a look—no words needed.
他没有赎回过去,但他终于没有逃.
He hadn't changed the past—but at last, he didn't run.
他们一同迈入那扇金属门.
Together, they stepped through the metal door.
门在他们身后闭合,黑暗中只留下一句系统低语.
The door closed behind them, leaving only a whisper in the dark:
「下一层,将面对真实的你自己.」
"Next floor... you will face the real you."
