Chapter 1: Awakened in Blood / 第一章:在鲜血中觉醒

Her body froze. The monster's breath brushed her cheek.

她的身体僵住了.怪物的鼻息拂过她的脸颊.

It was sniffing her. Tasting her fear.

它在嗅她,在品尝她的恐惧.

I'm gonna die.

我要死了.

Her heart pounded like a drum. She clenched the umbrella—

心跳如雷.她握紧了那把雨伞——

And stabbed it forward with all her strength!

狠狠地朝前刺去!

CLACK!

The tip of the umbrella jammed into the monster's mouth,

雨伞尖端扎进了怪物的嘴巴,

blood—dark and thick—splattered across her hands.

血液——浓稠而黑红——喷溅在她的手上.

It roared, claws swinging wildly, slicing the air just inches from her face.

怪物怒吼,爪子疯狂挥舞,差点划破她的脸.

She ducked, rolled to the side, and swung the umbrella like a bat,

她俯身,侧滚,然后像棒球棍一样横扫雨伞,

slamming it across the monster's jaw with a CRACK!

猛地砸中怪物的下巴,发出"咔"的一声!

The beast stumbled, shrieking in fury.

那怪物踉跄后退,发出愤怒的嚎叫.

Luminous didn't stop.

Luminous没有停下.

"AAAHHH!!" she screamed, pouring all her terror into every strike.

"啊啊啊啊!!"她尖叫着,把恐惧都灌进了每一次攻击中.

It lunged again—she ducked, spun behind, and drove the umbrella into its back.

怪物扑来,她闪身,旋转,雨伞直插它的背部.

THUNK!

Then—

然后——

"Wh—what the hell is this!?" she gasped, backing away.

"这——这是什么鬼东西?!"她喘着气后退.

The monster collapsed behind her, dissolving into data fragments.

身后的怪物瓦解成数字碎片,慢慢消失.

Suddenly—

突然——

KNOCK. KNOCK.

A knock at the door.

咚,咚.

"...谁?" Luminous whispered, still panting.

"…Who is it?" 她小声问,仍在喘气.

"It's me. Asmodeus."

"是我,Asmodeus."

She quickly unlocked the door.

她立刻开门.

The red-haired boy was covered in cuts, carrying a crowbar.

红发少年满身伤痕,手里拿着一根铁棍.

"...You're alive."

"…你还活着."

"Barely. Let me guess. You saw the panel too?"

"勉强.让我猜,你也看见那个面板了?"

Luminous nodded.

Luminous点了点头.

Asmodeus looked out the shattered hallway.

Asmodeus望着破碎的走廊.

"We can't stay here. There's a church across the street. Stone walls, high ground. It's our best bet."

"我们不能待在这里.街对面有座教堂,石墙高地,是我们唯一的希望."

Luminous took a deep breath, grabbed her umbrella again.

Luminous深吸一口气,又握紧了她的雨伞.

"…Then let's go."

"…那就走吧."

Outside, the world was in chaos.

外面的世界已成炼狱.

Fire danced in windows. Sirens wailed.

火光在窗中跳动,警报声刺耳尖锐.

And monsters crawled like corrupted code in the streets.

而那些怪物,像病毒般在街头游走.

They ran.

他们开始奔跑.

But death followed close behind.

但死亡紧随其后.

One creature lunged from behind a truck.

一只怪物从卡车后跳出,

Asmodeus blocked its path with his crowbar—

Asmodeus用铁棍格挡,

CLANG!

It shrieked and slashed—tearing open his shoulder.

怪物尖叫着划破了他的肩膀.

"ASMO!" Luminous cried out.

"快退!"他大喊,"Run!"

"No!" she yelled, dashing forward.

She drove the umbrella into its side,

她猛冲上前,雨伞刺入怪物的肋骨,

and kicked its legs out—sending it crashing to the ground.

一脚扫向它的腿,把它踢翻在地!

"Lumi! This way!"

"Lumi!这边!"

He pointed toward a screaming couple trapped under rubble.

他指着一对被压在瓦砾下的夫妻.

Luminous ran over, lifting debris with all her strength.

Luminous冲过去,用尽全力搬开瓦砾.

"We've got to save them. Help me pull!"

"我们得救他们,帮我一起拉!"

They pulled, dragged, screamed—

他们拉着,喊着,流着泪.

The couple broke free.

他们成功救出了那对夫妻.

They ran through the burning street, cutting down monsters as they went.

他们穿过火焰与废墟,边打边跑,

More survivors joined them—

越来越多幸存者加入他们.

By the time they reached the church,

等他们终于抵达教堂时,

They were ten.

他们已经有十人.

Asmodeus slammed the doors shut.

Asmodeus猛地关上大门.

Luminous helped barricade them with pews and broken planks.

Luminous搬来长椅与木板堵住入口.

Heavy breathing. Blood. Ash.

喘息,鲜血,烟尘.

But for now—

但此刻——

They were alive.

他们,还活着.

> And for Luminous...

对于Luminous来说...

> It had only just begun.

一切,才刚刚开始.
