"Babel was not built in a day."
[A 30-year-old living, half-dead, diligent student from the Cow Horse Society and Animal Law College x a 23-year-old living, half-dead, and rotten fresh graduate from an English college]
Shi Jinsheng felt that his life might have turned gloomy from the moment he was transferred to the translation major. I was miserable in college, mediocre after graduation, fired from my job as a teacher, and brutally raped while accompanying an interpreter at a conference and exhibition on my way home. The last sight in her life was of a drunken thug grinning and wanting to rape her.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back on the bed in the university dormitory.
There is no do-over, no redemption, just a weird university with contradictory rules that you can't get out of.
—The beginning of all her misfortunes.
It wasn't until she was in the news translation class that she gave a presentation. A strange male classmate raised his hand and asked about something other than the PPT content:
"Don't you belong here too?"
He Simiao was deployed in Africa for three years and was about to return home when the Democratic Republic of the Congo rioted and there were several attacks and kidnappings against Chinese people. He Simiao was kidnapped on his way back to his dormitory from the company. The kidnappers didn't ask for ransom, so they fired angrily to vent their anger. When he died, he was beaten beyond recognition by bullets.
After waking up, He Simiao was trapped in the time and space loop of the university. He was alone, dying a thousand times, unable to find a way out.
It wasn't until that news translation session that he looked up and saw Shi Jinsheng.
The fear in her eyes was real, and she was real.
In a campus with twisted rules, death can come at any time.
A forced display in front of a blank PPT, clues written down with interpreting symbols, clues hidden in pirated Trados compressed packages, loopholes that need to be cracked under formalism, relays for survival in the simultaneous interpretation box...
Death is close, but so are each other. They leaned on each other, so close that they could hear each other's heartbeat.
"You said - you hope we all live well."
Purpose: Life is like an ocean, only those with strong will can reach the other side
