RE: Chapter 33: The Graveyard of Mirrors第三十三章:镜像坟场

Chapter 32 and this Chapter 33 are definitely more of a thriller. So far, the womb – well, that’s already there, and it features in loads of films too. So it’s still realistic, I suppose.
That circle of bodies – well, half-human, half-robot, or actually, everything unnatural – is certainly very interesting. Are you using the Inktober prompt as well? ‘Mystical’ does fit here. It’s interesting that, so far into the future, cults still exist, and that with that one-and-a-half horse’s head, there’s still a life to be lived.

Something I don’t understand: two or three chapters back, he crawled through a slippery pipe and ended up on a rusty catwalk out in the freezing cold. I got the feeling that this meant he was actually outside, in the outside world, but in this chapter he’s just back inside the building again? Perhaps there’s something wrong with the translation here, or maybe I just can’t read – that’s possible too.

第32章和这一章(第33章)至少更像惊悚片。到目前为止提到的子宫——其实早就存在了,而且在很多电影里也经常出现。所以,姑且可以说这至少还是很写实的。
那个由身体组成的圆圈——好吧,是半人半机器,或者说完全不自然的存在——已经非常有趣了。你也在用“Inktober”的创作提示吗?“Mystical”这个主题确实很适合这里。有趣的是,在那么遥远的未来,邪教竟然依然存在,而且那个“一个半马头”还活着。

有一点我不明白:两三章前,他穿过一条湿滑的管道,来到外面一个锈迹斑斑的走道上,当时外面寒风刺骨。我当时感觉他这样就真的到了外面,到了外部世界,但在这一章里,他却又回到了大楼里面?也许这里是翻译上的问题,当然也有可能是我没看懂。

Thank you again for the Chinese translation! You always make it so easy and joyful for me to read your comments! ❤️

You absolutely nailed the vibe—combining high-tech cyberpunk clones with ancient cult rituals is exactly the 'Mystical' horror I was aiming for!

To answer your great question about his location: Feng never actually made it outside to the surface world. The 'freezing cold' he felt on that rusty catwalk was just the cold air circulating inside a massive, cavernous underground abyss. Pan-Asia's facility isn't just one building; it's a terrifying underground city. He is still trapped deep underground, just moving from one nightmare sector (the clone factory) to another (the transit depot). I hope this clears up the translation confusion! Thank you for reading so closely! 🚀

(再次感谢你的中文翻译!你准确抓住了“高科技+古老邪教”的神秘恐怖氛围!关于你的疑问:峰子其实从未逃到地表。他感受到的寒风,只是巨大的地下深渊里的冷空气。泛亚的设施是一个庞大的地下城市,他依然被困在地底深处,只是从一个噩梦区域移动到了另一个区域。希望这解开了你的疑惑,谢谢你读得这么仔细!)
