Question

he could undoubtedly bring me down before I’d gone five steps
I’d gone是had gone?
但这好像是虚拟的,脑中假设,如果我跑,不出五步也会被制服

Answer 1

意思是：毫无疑问,我跑不出5步他(前文提到这是个吸血鬼)就能把我放倒.
had gone不是虚拟,虚拟应该有类似这样的搭配：had gone,would have done...,以及if之类的词,但是这个句子里面没有这些结构.
换个角度理解这个句子,把描述故事的过去式改成说话者当前说话的语气和时态,句子变为:
He can bring me down before I have gone five steps.
这个就比较容易看出来,have gone在这里表达:在我"已经"跑出5步之前.
