起點——直到那一天的黎明。 - 2-37：門檻的兩側

「就像我說的，只是場意外而已。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqVeq2tpHW
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX5djA5g1p
羅特仍舊摩挲著火柴盒，平靜地撫過那朵褪色斑駁的橙色鬱金香。他語氣輕描淡寫地說著，彷彿剛才講述的，只是一段無關緊要的舊報紙頭條。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAdyO7o1b0
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWxjgFn5gI
夏伊勒沉默了許久，只有螢光棒昏黃的弱光，靜靜蠶食著無邊的陰影。回過神時，她已經下意識地攥緊了自己大衣的袖口。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nPgiqLoMv
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnmOSvTeXn
「怎麼了？」羅特抬頭，昏暗的光線在他眼窩投下深邃的陰影。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ869yINY73X
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl7sNyHC6j
「沒什麼……我只是沒想到你會說這麼多。」夏伊勒微微垂下眼簾，避開了他的視線：「總感覺有點抱歉。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGABzwI3LA
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvHeV4W1jb
「為什麼？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzxNpANxxh
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p8Gz526Ku
夏伊勒沒有回答，她不知道該如何定義這份抱歉。是抱歉讓他揭開了傷疤，還是抱歉這世上竟有如此的絕望？她甚至不知道自己為何而道歉。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B0N3NhJnn
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgWy5x4DlM
「艾拉的遺體，最後有好好安葬了嗎？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5ss6VX8D2
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLGRzB8d5W
「沒有，那個地方到現在都還沒收復。」羅特面不改色說道，只是輕輕闔上了火柴盒。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGya54yhwhJ
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZQ2wsem2K
「這樣啊……」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6iEg3whL3
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CozSVkKmn
夏伊勒雙手交疊，默默地收緊。那種感同身受的窒息感，讓她一時之間找不到語言。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQSHYqcRK5
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxApwseLcB
她轉過頭，看向靜坐在角落面壁思過的少女。雪白色的長髮沾染了些許泥塵，如月面般在陰影中明暗閃爍，自然地蓋住蒼白的後背。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZis5rRosuq
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7X8PBqBsn
白色的頭髮、白色的皮膚、灰白色的眼睛，實在讓人很難不去想像。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92qZqZw5B3
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRIkuO0Mnv
「你跟荷布希是怎麼認識的？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0tc8irBGw
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RQLXk4seN
「只是總部的安排而已，沒什麼特別的。」羅特淡淡回應，語氣中聽不出任何波瀾：「說是狙擊手和蛾種的能力比較相搭。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RxxduxVtx
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkykzrsSbc
「你是狙擊手？」夏伊勒有些意外地打量著那雙略顯粗糙的手，甚至正握著攻堅用的步槍。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO8vpzRpwn
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJTzIF9BOv
「曾經是，後來變成裝甲連的連長。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Pr2JblPep
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriMn5BEE3t
「聽上去還真是曲折啊……你的軍旅生涯。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeZwODrybt
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKBb42cV80
「畢竟原本的軍官都死光了。」羅特似笑非笑地自嘲：「那時候軍銜升遷的速度，取決於你前任長官戰死的速度。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYxf3fyuNi
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxstSx0Ovee
夏伊勒看著他，明明唇角正微微上揚，面容卻看不出一點笑意。那種從死人堆裡爬出來後特有的疲憊與虛無，在他身上幾乎凝成了具象。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUqlkLLPL6
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkILUit55Li
「經歷了這麼多，一定很痛苦吧？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BsTiBDB3D
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFCuTYLsEv
「痛苦嗎……是這樣沒錯呢。」羅特仰起頭，靠在冰冷的水泥牆上：「但是……我還想要好好看看這個世界，看看沒能和艾拉去到過的地方。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfknZ0cSwfj
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfI8xNS4fh
「然後，看看這個世界會變成什麼樣子。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEJOimgx4M
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgBID7cW2D
夏伊勒動作一僵，疑惑地望向他：「什麼意思？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh7uPaZtQz
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JZNpwPygV
羅特面色平靜，不假思索地答道：「犯罪、走私、非法實驗、新蟲族……我想看看這個亂成一團的世界，最後會變成什麼樣子。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97ylhQf2vX
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dAbp8lKzt
「真是惡趣味……」夏伊勒忍不住嘀咕。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0plZhMFfWz
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVjLf1rGag
羅特不禁噗哧一聲笑出：「這麼說也太過份了吧？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZgSOTuj89
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT25e4y7qUW
「妳自己想想，曾經人們也無法想像蟲族走在街上、還會說人話的樣子對吧？」他將目光投向無邊的虛空，語氣中帶著一種近乎冷酷與淡然的清醒：「我只是想看看，我們曾經拼死堅守的東西，最後究竟會成為什麼而已。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kd0BwtovE
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBQaTn3Vm6
夏伊勒搓揉著外套的指尖頓了頓，琢磨著他話語中的含義。但在心底，她卻感到一種莫名的寒意。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fu773Vk0T
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYpU8KRY6e
「妳呢？妳又是為了什麼？妳看上去也不是那種享受活著的人。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2JxBZwgjz
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmndumHk8P
夏伊勒被問得一愣，只得向粗糙的牆邊一靠。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJihHuHGEC
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9exiWFEJWV
「我只是……曾經立下過誓約而已，要將那些肆意摧毀他人幸福的人，全部繩之以法。」她的聲音低沉而堅定，臉頰上隱隱作痛的傷口，像在提醒著那未竟的執念。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsPSIbEUEJ
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXyIGQKirY
「結果呢？有成功了嗎？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuilxtDFcY
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQHNACOolF
「沒有。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3jLfOlKWz
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfFxqOY6Mi
夏伊勒苦笑一聲，神色顯得有些頹然：「後來才發現，這個世界壞人實在太多了，前一起案件還沒歸案，又有新的案件源源不絕地跑出來，永遠都抓不完。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDlNoMvKpG
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1mDthTZ7h
她低下目光，舌尖舐過唇角那摻雜鐵鏽味的苦澀，卻抹不去心底那份無處釋放的埋怨：「這個世界大概就是這麼一回事吧？真是爛透了。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5oR0Wcubg
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7NSwswnzU
「或許本來就沒有什麼真正的壞人吧？所有人都只是做著自己認為正確的事情而已。」羅特漫不經心地盯著地上凌亂不堪的碎石，思緒彷彿被定格在某個遙遠的瞬間。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ik6SGaOHM
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyj3OncdXs
夏伊勒眉頭一緊，本能地厲聲反駁：「就是因為有這種想法才會縱容犯罪發生。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I4N2nMwMM
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBYHVbcfum
「哈哈……抱歉，檢察官。」羅特低笑出聲，然而那笑聲很快便迷失在壓抑的黑暗之中。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92wRpYvvL7
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4IKynGKnU
「看來我們……還要在這裡待很久呢。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAWrebwgRi
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Tb76cs2i0
「是啊。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfIyLzyqWU
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGz46IP4thi
「這樣任務應該失敗了吧？不管是調查局的，還是地檢署的。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw78Mak5x4
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmS4wbyIek
「大概吧……」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLgFmtC296
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRe4tbinmZ
塵埃依舊在螢光棒的光圈中起舞飄零，幾人的影子交疊在冰冷的地面上。兩人都不再說話，任憑沉默如灰燼一般，落在這片氧氣終將耗盡的廢墟中。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTtJ7IOSSM
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw4FRK5G3p
「羅特先生。」在寂靜中，癱坐在角落的荷布希終於出聲，清冷的聲線像一片落入水中的葉，沒有激起半點漣漪：「這樣的事，第一次聽說。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpnTez0LUK
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65MPFx8Kts
「妳有在聽啊？」羅特向後一靠，若有似無地嘆了口氣，語氣帶著一種刻意的散漫：「因為也不是什麼很重要的事情。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWfbJwVJrb
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuWEq0GVwc
荷布希仍舊面著角落，但那稍稍側過的銀灰色眼眸中，在昏暗中閃爍著純粹的、不帶感情的求知慾。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQH6bfzU5p
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYdD3lPq0V
「我，跟艾拉小姐很像嗎？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3qs5tQjEQ
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbWDFKPbSA
羅特愣住了片刻，因黑暗而放大的瞳孔僵得發直。這是自從那一天後，他少數在她面前露出破綻的瞬間。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXd5zRxVJ5
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBZvz1CLLn
「不，完全不像。差得可多了。」他隨即身子一癱，果斷地答道。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7drOuXJuG
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbLnBaXb8j
艾拉是鮮活的、會因羞澀而窘迫、會因悲傷而流淚、會因不滿而生氣的女孩；而眼前的少女，只是一具被賦予了人類外殼、為殺戮而生的兵器。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6shmYyvN1
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfpCvm81eB
至少，從最初開始就是這樣。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXuTCHs6bH
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3a6Eb5TJQ
「嗯。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkBI9JMFj7
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN7RlIP6R2
荷布希微微頷首，似乎在用那複雜的邏輯迴路分析著這個答案的意義。但隨即又輕輕地，拋出了一個更大、更沉重的疑問：「羅特先生是為了艾拉小姐，夏伊勒小姐是為了弟弟，和妹妹……芬科特先生，也是因為妹妹……」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUrdwIsI0P
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmxu1qYAnU
她停頓了一下，眨眼間，彷彿檢索著那些曾經被用來訓練的、有關人類社會的資料：「人類，都為了別人而活嗎？為什麼呢？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR382BBwMru
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrmJVPItPw
「那是因為……人類有責任感和愧疚感。僅此而已。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzVWyn3qou
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6b2T2qsKF
「那是，什麼樣的情感？」荷布希追問，語氣平靜地像在解開某種測驗的難題般。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdkweqQmiW
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lQ8kjJwhB
「這是一種『愛』，荷布希，這就是愛。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwcswKv3HK
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8oa6YFZYb
「『愛』？」荷布希歪了歪頭，觸角在髮頂上微微顫動。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC130FOtIH
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7ZefhM2tq
「沒錯。因愛而生的責任、沒能守護愛的愧疚……」羅特瞄了眼坐在一旁，神色複雜的夏伊勒，停頓片刻後，輕如鴻毛地說：「還有……被留下的痛苦，全部都是因為『愛』。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbOAcbFVG3
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkluNq1FSP
「羅特先生，以前說過的『媽媽』，也是愛的一種嗎？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXhiAwr430
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrJf7GiP1N
「沒錯，那個叫親情。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jo2f0Yo1h
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CI2xgOhg4
「之前說過的『憎恨』，也是愛的一種嗎？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYxjspYlWt
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwu117n4do
「不太一樣，那是摯愛被奪走後的憤怒……不過也沒錯，那也是一種愛的體現。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXpJyQF4Be
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AWnkUyt5p
荷布希沉默了片刻，在那短暫的數秒中，彷彿佔據了自她存在以來全部的時間。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDGSMRkVIj
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2js5nbLn5U
「愛……真是神奇的東西。」荷布希平放於雙腿上的手指微微蜷起，像試圖抓住某種流於空氣中的千絲萬縷：「我，也想了解那種情感。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzUvwrCffP
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcIIEget7Y
「是嗎？我不覺得妳學得會呢。」羅特語帶調侃，卻又發自內心地笑了：「天生沒有家人概念的物種，要怎麼學會愛？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyjgzGp8ED
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V1jJuW4oc
「家人……」荷布希回過目光，像是抓到了某個關鍵詞：「那麼，只要有家人就好了嗎？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9F39JehNM
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHuWe5h6tL
「不不不，妳完全沒搞懂我在說什麼。」羅特頭疼地揉了揉眉心，對於荷布希那份認真卻又歪掉的重點，只能苦笑著解釋：「這種東西不是條件式的，跟調查局的圖卡訓練不一樣。妳沒辦法因為標籤上貼了『家人』，就自動獲得『愛』的功能。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphWQHdaX2E
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeIqL8QV3r
「不一樣嗎……」荷布希轉回頭，對著牆壁上的裂縫，再次陷入了更深沉的思索，背影竟顯得有些落寞。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxifw2ewuo
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hXxLsytac
「她們平常都能問這種問題？調查局沒意見嗎？」夏伊勒壓低聲音，有些不可置信地望向羅特。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLs02K7x6x
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPGe36bVDO
這已經不是她第一次聽見這對搭檔間這種荒謬的對話了，她原以為新蟲族只是調查局好用的生物工具，理應避免她們生出如此深沉且自我的意識。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNudJZGThgk
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06eHHUi5OE
「也不是，其實規範上……該怎麼說呢……」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPAWdl9yp8
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyJBrAvfi7
羅特欲言又止，只能苦笑著摸了摸下巴，尋思著如何解釋著這段他早就習以為常、卻又看上去反常不過的日常。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyGgE9NlAt
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzqJghBeJ7
事實上，有些東西一旦跨過就再也回不去了，他們無法避免，只能透過更多的規範和束縛，走一步算一步。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rji3Gb0t6
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEWZSmbYHG
然而，這仍屬無法向外界洩漏的、埋於調查局深處的機密。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ4EtdhLOh
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP39gMFAjl
「想要獲得某些東西就必須捨棄一些原則，這樣有懂了吧？」最終他雙手一攤，輕描淡寫地說道。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiUnGA1bft
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8gtdaa1Bk
「不……其實我還是不太懂……」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4NeSkbOZb
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGwuLkbAES
嗡——49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDFlGJcy9p
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aFKkKBcxu
話音還未落下，原本緊閉的金屬門忽然發出一聲低沉而震耳的嗡鳴，白色的霧氣沿著鬆落的門縫如逃竄般滲漏而出。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3WdY7R9xL
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIHIXHtuSE
霎時間，三人都被那道刺耳的滋滋聲震住了神。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ftgWbyq1q
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1EF26VRPh
羅特將火柴盒一把塞入兜中，大腦在瞬間切換回戰鬥狀態，他迅速蹲低，舉起手邊的步槍對準門縫，膝蓋在碎石堆上磨出微弱的沙沙聲。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz4BYnidVY
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaw0TGmQsQ
夏伊勒也警覺地伸手掏向大衣底下，被這漫漫長夜磨練出來的警惕讓她繃緊了神。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiVH7arCBJ
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccl1VAdLPO
嘶——49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1WfVxrfUO
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GfWf8RHtb
羅特屏住了呼吸，全神貫注地盯著槍管上那圈小小的準星，白霧在螢光棒的黃光下扭曲飄散，模糊了視線。要知道，若有什麼從其中衝出，現在的他們甚至連退後的空間都沒有。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX56TryaWX
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmtNoLYNML
他挪動著步伐，伴隨著沉悶的心跳聲，一下、一下。他的槍口沒有偏離門縫分毫，腳步卻熟練地移動至能夠第一時間射擊的位置，用自己寬闊的肩膀，恰好擋住了夏伊勒的身軀。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDqsCjBG6j
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEBGfPWeYq
然而那扇斑駁的金屬門僅是稍稍露出一絲細縫，任憑白色的煙霧四散淡去，卻遲遲沒有任何移動的徵兆。裡頭沒有傳出預想的腳步聲、呼吸聲，甚至衝出的生物，宛如一座安靜、沉穩的，等待到訪者親自上門的古堡。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a7TPbtqXP
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusRmeV1muU
羅特偏頭望向荷布希，早已轉過身來的荷布希心有靈犀地晃了晃髮頂的觸角，那一對對棕色的羽枝顫動開合，像在捕捉著空氣中細微的震動與氣味。然後，她慢悠悠地搖了搖頭。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5YOKnVcGw
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEbmilGyeQ
羅特猶豫了一會，才小心翼翼地提槍上前。見狀，夏伊勒下意識伸出手想阻止，卻奈何不敢發出一點聲響，只能僵著停在半空的指尖，眼睜睜看著他緩緩走到門前。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJJeI7lSEj
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKf0cEnUVG
瞥了眼電子鎖上本該閃爍，此刻卻黯淡無光的警示燈，羅特若有所思地一手探向門縫。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBv3ePVVjv
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtc1QpYIl3
嘎吱——49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwzv53iEWX
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFXOfib5Pd
隨著他猛地使勁，肩背上的衣服因膨脹的肌肉而緊繃撐起，那重達數百斤的金屬門竟被用單手緩緩拉開，發出勉強、尖銳的鑽心聲，不久前那些堅如鐵壁的電子防禦，在此刻形同虛設。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03NoIzkQju
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07xUJvlAKA
他的另一手還不忘夾緊槍枝，對準那逐漸敞開的大門，螢光棒微弱的光線如同利刃般切入內部的黑暗。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMk9WN2OZ7
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrXh8bWgPi
嘎嘎——49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9HDhYk7OE
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco4Aqjedod
門縫的開口停在了勉強能讓一人通過的寬度，映入眼簾的是一條長長的走道，通向昏暗無比的盡頭，除此之外什麼也沒有。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9X8yvVrGx
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ6H7flcrr
地面的影子被拉得極長，空氣冷寂，像極了下班時間過後，在寂靜中獨自發霉的辦公室。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUXFQxWdZH
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRA5OZMarJ
「停電……」羅特發出小聲的嘀咕，像在咀嚼著那份心中萌生的念頭：「有誰切斷了電源嗎？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqno6MUdlCi
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dePBPbeDp
是敵人？還是盟友？這個疑問在那一剎那佔據了他的思緒，若是自毀系統的前兆，那他們就死定了。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS74SjryHs
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxUDVDLVTd
但最終，他的腦海卻不禁浮現出了那個男人的身影——他只想得到那個人了，那個總是算無疑策、把一切化作棋盤的傢伙。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsHjzmMs6o
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBvj9LEbzc
若真是如此，這大概就是上帝等級的一步棋了。又或者，只是一起無心之舉？49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinYrSsUbwN
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0leIkfXoH5
「米勒先生？」夏伊勒神經緊繃，小心翼翼地試探。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj2MVTvdbZ
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFOaPKHaDQ
「貌似是電力系統被切斷了……結果門就這樣開了呢，命運還真是有趣。」他說著一句貌似輕鬆的嘲弄，卻板著張絲毫不見笑意的臉。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1WviyAW18
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr9lOleWXi
「是警方嗎？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6vNSJRQfJ
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF6ovSeQzQ
「也有可能，但看起來不太像。」他一邊附和，再次將腰間的螢光棒一折，擲入黑暗。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7QVri5kQj
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6gsr8fw74
暗紅色的光源在空中劃過一道弧線，咕嚕嚕地滾入走道深處，映出了牆壁與地面死板的影子，一塊一塊，方正的像分裂複製的癌細胞。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAgClY05HL
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu1utvXYZQ
而羅特盯著那根螢光棒停下的位置，久久沒有動作。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH56PWWQQR
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS9dbolIrG
「怎麼了？」夏伊勒扶著受傷的手臂起身，緩步走向與他並肩的一側。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfYNIcq1Nf
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrebdfK335D
「我在思考。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3z3Ts3x9o
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufGruVhcuU
「思考什麼？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlUaOpf3gy
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNb1iGloAj
羅特側過頭，看了眼靠在石塊旁、正嘗試用單腳起身的荷布希。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YrN9hcmcu
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzLm406tjf
「荷布希受傷了，而且那把反器材步槍也放在車上……現在的我們戰力幾乎是零，也就是說，隨便一顆子彈都能讓我們輕易死去。」他的語氣平淡地說著，卻又無比現實。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6c2HKJaLT
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pKog1gGeh
「但是，或許真相……兇手就在眼前了對吧？」夏伊勒的深埋大衣下的手指死死扣著手槍，眼底閃過一抹雖隨時間沉澱，卻不曾熄滅的執拗。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kfp3HhMR3
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37ZcJUVzZd
「正是如此，不過，也可能只是另一種形式的陷阱而已。」羅特轉過身，嚴肅的目光直勾勾釘進夏伊勒的眼睛：「怎麼說？檢察官，妳會怎麼做？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnpQ0X1ax4
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHhGwVKuwJ
他平穩得近乎冷酷的聲音，一時之間將她定在了原地。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7D6MzSagA
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWOJx6Z50p
她的腦海中不禁浮現出今夜種種費解而驚悚的經歷：埋伏在公寓的蟲族、工業區現身的畸變怪物、慘遭滅團的警隊，還有下水道深處那口駭人的深井……49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9D8CqmaKo
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i1KbHxAse
