Human extermination campaigns

人类灭鼠运动

The war on ratkind was not the work of a single day. According to the Rat King, topside propaganda has been waging a war on his people for generations.

“That's because topside propaganda has been waging a war on my people for generations.”

“那是因为地上世界的宣传几代人以来一直在对我的子民开战。”TL

— Rat King, to Viscous

The Rat King, on the wronged side of it all, has never let it go. When Viscous marveled that rats were so cuddly and then asked why anyone would do such a thing, his only answer was: because humans are terrible. The Archmother’s voice has spoken to him of it too — humanity, she said, has killed and reviled ratkind for ages — and she promised to give his people a homeland no one can take from them.

“Humanity has killed and reviled ratkind for ages. Summon the Archmother, and give your people a homeland no one can take from them.”

“人类世世代代屠戮鼠族。召唤源祖吧,为你的族人建立一片无人能夺走的家园”

— The Archmother, to Rat King

That old grudge has not cooled. He has declared that those on the surface will get what’s coming to them, and asked in return: who’s exterminating who?

“Who's exterminating who?”

“到底谁在灭谁?”TL

— Rat King

The Rat King’s hatred does not stop at some abstract “humanity.” He once told Deadman Danny to his face that thirty-one of his people died screaming thanks to him. Danny protested that he didn’t develop Vermicide; he just presented it. The Rat King, though, holds him complicit, and has sworn that one day he will make him suffer for it.

“You’re complicit.  And one day I’ll make sure you suffer for it.”

“你是帮凶。总有一天,我要让你为此付出代价。”TL

— Rat King, to Deadman Danny

Word on the Street

“31 of my people died screaming thanks to you.”

“托你的福,我的三十一个族人惨叫着死去。”TL

— Rat King, to Deadman Danny
