時光飛逝,終於來到薄暮城天文學會年度大會舉辦之日。妲羽獨自坐在套房裡,看著面前平放桌上的星盤,意識不禁飛越到薄暮城,想像年度大會裡空前盛況。學者們激烈討論的場面迴盪不停,而自己卻要逗留在這寧靜無聲的房間,沒法反駁他們滿口謬誤與歪理。307Please respect copyright.PENANAgsXLsiWT1E
307Please respect copyright.PENANA6aR8uhAH8R
307Please respect copyright.PENANA4VAHzO6VsD
真實的星空、一切答案就映在自己那散發微弱星光的橢圓盤子上,然而妲羽並未能把事實一一訴說,每次總有自詡前輩的人搬出歪理反駁、或是把妲羽當成愛胡亂說話的小丫頭,而這次更是直接被捲入事端,失去公開發言的機會。307Please respect copyright.PENANApgRKAQxAX4
307Please respect copyright.PENANAPavriIzKgJ
307Please respect copyright.PENANAKOF1FZhhgR
大概到了大會開始時間,妲羽於是打開套房裡的大屏幕,一番搜尋過後找來了年度大會的現場直播。307Please respect copyright.PENANAxbRZ7VT6d2
307Please respect copyright.PENANAL7MoWEceho
307Please respect copyright.PENANAPtjWKvQcP2
看過修伯特會長冗長的開場辭,鏡頭又轉向了幾位自以為是的老博士,口裡仍然是大堆謬誤,煞是難耐。307Please respect copyright.PENANA7gp011MCcd
307Please respect copyright.PENANABChi4SQyco
307Please respect copyright.PENANAZ02uFFJk4e
快要打起瞌睡之際,直播片段裡突然響過一陣雜音,冒出幾個白色身影衝到鏡頭焦點前。領頭的老頭子無視周遭一切驚訝目光,以凌厲語氣指向正主持大局的修伯特道出來由:307Please respect copyright.PENANA7z2DBWG0Er
307Please respect copyright.PENANAJQa9ZHgLKB
307Please respect copyright.PENANAkWEId2c9MT
「這裡是樞密院罪滅組,現在懷疑你們私藏擄走院內政要的犯人,請盡快把她交出來。不然的話……」發話的老頭說著又故意掉過頭來,望向會場上方的攝像鏡頭高聲續道:「今日將是你們最後一次年度大會!」307Please respect copyright.PENANA7ai4MpMQxy
307Please respect copyright.PENANAkphyFgyxoW
307Please respect copyright.PENANAkynoanFstD
「等等!您們誤解了,我們天文學會公正持平,絕不包庇罪惡。」修伯特連忙朗聲為學會上下辯護。307Please respect copyright.PENANAdRkP00C8Ey
307Please respect copyright.PENANAc993UqtHO0
307Please respect copyright.PENANAai7DKJnmtS
「你要是在心音小姐面前說這句話,我可沒法保你不死。你還是快……」307Please respect copyright.PENANA6CRkIMcEoa
307Please respect copyright.PENANAnMYAbtz88P
307Please respect copyright.PENANAY5T9cYEZ43
老頭子話說到一半,直播影像便突然中斷,屏幕裡只剩下大片藍光,再沒有聲音或是映像。307Please respect copyright.PENANAmpT4zPukM5
307Please respect copyright.PENANAMy60BxS2WQ
307Please respect copyright.PENANA7iSFR2q82G
然而,被這突如其來衝擊得目瞪口呆的妲羽,冥冥中亦意識到那些白衣大人正威逼修伯特會長供出自己所在之處,遂連忙提起魔匣,撥下堇叔叔留給自己的號碼。307Please respect copyright.PENANAjULACRZo1h
307Please respect copyright.PENANALq4O4lwiax
307Please respect copyright.PENANA9De0M5mjsI
「小甜心?怎麼了?」307Please respect copyright.PENANAYymgiP32i8
307Please respect copyright.PENANAkbLzq945AX
307Please respect copyright.PENANAO2ccoTjctx
「堇叔叔!妲羽很害怕,樞密院的人似乎已經知道妲羽在聖火城了!」307Please respect copyright.PENANAdIUiGOJGyS
307Please respect copyright.PENANAEfm55znmgI
307Please respect copyright.PENANA8ReWV6YCeP
妲羽的話伴以一副緊張語氣,傳至聽筒另一方忙於籌備公演的堇金耳邊。307Please respect copyright.PENANAs7RFUxYdXH
307Please respect copyright.PENANAj24qRPVUs6
307Please respect copyright.PENANAQ91Qhbhthm
幽暗的廳堂裡,除了堇金以外,還有坐在圓桌前品茶的法依與旁邊握起青光卡片冥想的佳依,沉默細聽堇金與妲羽的對話:307Please respect copyright.PENANAxLzbfAOQyS
307Please respect copyright.PENANAguZzVrRQV9
307Please respect copyright.PENANACskMooeWeg
「冷靜點,小甜心,請相信堇叔叔。」307Please respect copyright.PENANAtvGvSykpLh
307Please respect copyright.PENANAiSRcnqPMbZ
307Please respect copyright.PENANARrPRELlfsn
「那妲羽是不是要離開這裡了?」307Please respect copyright.PENANAOAvXEusqUN
307Please respect copyright.PENANAsphaUl6FCJ
307Please respect copyright.PENANAFOc8xyCJ2D
「妳卡帕哥哥會保護妳與小少爺離開聖火城,不用擔心。」307Please respect copyright.PENANAUmt6n2hZlX
307Please respect copyright.PENANAQhcBiyPLgz
307Please respect copyright.PENANAWzWB9yw0C7
知道卡帕亦要隨兩小子而去,法依喝過一口紅茶,托起腮望向堇金,回想起早前與卡帕的閒聊,略顯失落地嘆氣:307Please respect copyright.PENANAx3qPNg57Mg
307Please respect copyright.PENANADtUqD9gneI
307Please respect copyright.PENANAvw77EqpTaz
「卡帕也要走了啊?明明剛才還叫他要期待一下我們的演出,真沒趣~」307Please respect copyright.PENANA68esMGNoU3
307Please respect copyright.PENANAEMjAlaFp8q
307Please respect copyright.PENANAUC6Xj2KjI1
「法伊,這也沒辦法,再這樣下去連我們的演出也會受影響。」而佳依則淡然以虛火灼燒手上正位置的「隱士」牌面,止住冥想對法依說道。307Please respect copyright.PENANAdDuOxu2dS6
307Please respect copyright.PENANA7kgFEv7tRm
307Please respect copyright.PENANANPQ2jRGYPP
在法依沒精打采地往嘴裡灌茶的同時,佳依又不忘暗自反思占卜得來的結果。她心想:「隱士」是退隱深冰中的智者,把自己的權力、威能一一藏於手上燈籠中,隱身於暗處靜觀其變亦不失為壞事。307Please respect copyright.PENANAG4Dwqod5H6
307Please respect copyright.PENANARtByilZJNI
307Please respect copyright.PENANA5AhPM1kpxk
「堇先生,您是要卡帕帶著他們回到黑輝淨土嗎?」等到堇金掛斷電話之後,佳依又率先開口問道。307Please respect copyright.PENANAB7UIHYO7BE
307Please respect copyright.PENANAR2XS56kxuu
307Please respect copyright.PENANAMUsIV7ZNca
「果然騙不過佳依的占卜術呢!本來我想讓卡帕看完妳們第一場公演才回去的,的確有點可惜呢……」307Please respect copyright.PENANAtkBngeIOxI
307Please respect copyright.PENANA7qQgp5wG4G
307Please respect copyright.PENANAj302WkrRnG
而法依則繼續沉默不語,難得找到一個讓自己提起「興趣」的男生,卻沒法多找幾個機會挑逗他。哪怕要待巡迴演出來到黑輝淨土,才能再次沉浸於他激情的幹勁中。307Please respect copyright.PENANA1LY2sKOvJx
307Please respect copyright.PENANA3MHmNPEJop
307Please respect copyright.PENANApIctDZzjUK
「時候不早了,妳們休息完就回去綵排吧。」307Please respect copyright.PENANAPVBEicQBp5
307Please respect copyright.PENANA2KHfdaYJir
307Please respect copyright.PENANAEzH26Qls97
拋下這句說話後,堇金又轉過頭來,看了看金色魔匣裡幾句報告,遂撥下卡帕的號碼……307Please respect copyright.PENANAESWylqXHxz
307Please respect copyright.PENANAmWZYzdJpWn
307Please respect copyright.PENANA2aKOQL1l7L
這邊廂,在堇花塔裡監督手下鍛鍊進度的卡帕,忽然聽見口袋裡響起一陣爆裂鈴聲,便掏出外表簇新的橙紅魔匣接聽這來自堇金義兄的撥號:307Please respect copyright.PENANAwSnFh6eFRK
307Please respect copyright.PENANAS3o856umfa
307Please respect copyright.PENANA331QlohpvA
「卡帕,今日之內可以把小少爺跟小甜心送走嗎?我怕我們這邊收容不下他們了……」307Please respect copyright.PENANARwYr611WH0
307Please respect copyright.PENANAdH5l9Pj6j5
307Please respect copyright.PENANA577nbJvl3v
「樞密院的人要過來聖火城了嗎?」卡帕磨拳擦掌,腦裡冒出帶領麾下兄弟與這幫崇拜命運神的人渣決一死戰的畫面,頓時津津樂道起來。307Please respect copyright.PENANAT6Ey8tKeuo
307Please respect copyright.PENANAPpHmilCq0N
307Please respect copyright.PENANAuR8Kh1XY9k
「別衝動,卡帕。你現在去向他們宣戰,只會得不償失。我們還不是他們的對手,你先把孩子們送回去,其他容後再說吧。」聽筒後堇金嚥下一口口水,再道:「你儘管記住,那兩個孩子是我們對抗命運的棋子,無論如何都不可以讓他們落到樞密院手上。」307Please respect copyright.PENANAB7CGiUrd4H
307Please respect copyright.PENANArBeZfxdrAA
307Please respect copyright.PENANAktkjod6mvf
堇金義兄的說話,顯然不無道理。307Please respect copyright.PENANAzu8NJJ9KP7
307Please respect copyright.PENANArto9j6v4so
307Please respect copyright.PENANAqPuZg5ZrO6
在未知樞密院一方到底掌握多少情報下,為免打草驚蛇,卡帕深明此趟不能借用堇紫青金打造的專屬列車,甚至不能帶上手下兄弟。他只能像到訪此地那般,裝成普通市民混進乘客之中,帶著默默離開。307Please respect copyright.PENANADVRRin6ckC
307Please respect copyright.PENANAsqBwqVKynJ
307Please respect copyright.PENANAGyZ5aXWNFh
聖火城沒有直通車直達黑輝淨土,必先要經浮光淨土轉乘長途線。而對於這麼一個中途站,除了想起那些人臉上那副自私自利的醜惡面容,早上看到一則關於城內怪病蔓延的新聞,亦讓他歷歷在目……307Please respect copyright.PENANA3kRmZ4roz5
307Please respect copyright.PENANA8yeXv0iDHS
307Please respect copyright.PENANAmkEq5M3zsX
「浮光淨土……我真的受夠這個地方了。」307Please respect copyright.PENANA2hqx5T2oNc
307Please respect copyright.PENANAjdbHmaiwOJ
307Please respect copyright.PENANAFk3na4uLVe
卡帕懷著速戰速決的意志,快步離開堇花塔,踏上集體傳送法陣趕往鄰區某遊樂場與手下會合。307Please respect copyright.PENANAmFbWVbhDBq
307Please respect copyright.PENANAeDS3z4hzYj
307Please respect copyright.PENANAi0bSQwsxF6
「烏普西朗,我們要離開聖火城了。」307Please respect copyright.PENANAnCbJBxK0oX
307Please respect copyright.PENANAIW7FrdNPzV
307Please respect copyright.PENANA8UkuiWRGjM
在兩西裝男護送下,烏普西朗得意忘形地,才剛踏進滿是機動遊戲、歡呼聲不絕的主題樂園,便被從後趕至的卡帕抓住兩肩說道。307Please respect copyright.PENANAmycGCDY6Wz
307Please respect copyright.PENANAG2tJLn7ObU
307Please respect copyright.PENANAcfFHqcCcIx
「怎樣怎樣?你找到伊歐鎝了嗎?你要帶我去找他嗎?」甫看到卡帕一副著緊抓住自己,烏普西朗便認為對方已經找到伊歐鎝的下落,夾雜興奮聲線連連吐出幾句問句。307Please respect copyright.PENANAwL0PSPEoVj
307Please respect copyright.PENANAwwBlbSBpVB
307Please respect copyright.PENANAeyV6sHphqP
然而,卡帕只是搖著頭,推著烏普西朗回到入口方向,低聲在他耳邊照直說著:307Please respect copyright.PENANAhYPL12pxP3
307Please respect copyright.PENANAxZd8DvLLzO
307Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1YAl0r869
「樞密院的人要來聖火城了,我們要盡快離開這裡。」307Please respect copyright.PENANAU4SvcFHthS
307Please respect copyright.PENANAhZI4YZ0euP
307Please respect copyright.PENANAFCE0w0gTlU
「哈?!要到哪裡?」烏普西朗隨即一臉茫然。307Please respect copyright.PENANAPjAV48lrdb
307Please respect copyright.PENANAspnx7zVctD
307Please respect copyright.PENANA8RaEau7Rqj
「黑輝淨土,我的故鄉。」307Please respect copyright.PENANAidTOG54MML
307Please respect copyright.PENANA9RBNItVeLW
307Please respect copyright.PENANAfJyS8dVzEZ
烏普西朗仍未來得及反應,便被卡帕匆忙帶回聖火大酒店,進入頂樓套房收拾細軟。307Please respect copyright.PENANAm1l4SbDmNx
307Please respect copyright.PENANAuaM15VcZe4
307Please respect copyright.PENANAS4WpQqS7bN
「卡帕哥哥……」307Please respect copyright.PENANAdLhe0z1ZrY
307Please respect copyright.PENANAe9QkBcaCc9
307Please respect copyright.PENANAxAvEkc54yl
打開大門,見房內妲羽站在大廳裡,作好離開的準備。307Please respect copyright.PENANArRGri4Og0R
307Please respect copyright.PENANA4uYdf2mHpy
307Please respect copyright.PENANAcJ2pkTNUSu
「樞密院的人要來了,我們不能再待在這裡了。」307Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7MHMuUmN9
307Please respect copyright.PENANACmbyWAIp1T
307Please respect copyright.PENANAoVwMW8qjdq
一瞥魔匣屏幕裡停止更新的對話框,眼見情報組的兄弟亦未報上消息,卡帕也只好攜上神情呆滯的妲羽,再加上被略帶緊張的烏普西朗,分別為兩小孩穿上黑色斗篷後,便握緊未知多寡的時間赴往聖火城車站。307Please respect copyright.PENANAFMSBUatgQS
307Please respect copyright.PENANAEf7sCeEvCy
307Please respect copyright.PENANAeTbMOYb9Lw
順利成章地帶著兩個黑色小身影走過熙攘的車站大堂,無意中聽見當中途人細語閒談,提及到浮光淨土與怪病一事。307Please respect copyright.PENANAr0tLxFbOPH
307Please respect copyright.PENANAoZsRQovkdu
307Please respect copyright.PENANAY3dVfvaYf4
「光臨我命……浮光淨土那個怪病,你們也聽說了嗎?我在祈禱希望命運神能讓這場災難化險為夷。」307Please respect copyright.PENANADxPpE18AzB
307Please respect copyright.PENANAtBbs0EcVdP
307Please respect copyright.PENANAvW0Sq6Mpxk
「聽說最初是在五號工業區的醫院傳出來的,最初染病那個醫生都病死了,聽了也覺得恐怖。」307Please respect copyright.PENANAK0FYCNTw0D
307Please respect copyright.PENANAHH9BYpzY7r
307Please respect copyright.PENANA18scrLkOuP
「哇!浮光淨土那邊封城了沒?萬一這怪病傳到聖火城這裡那怎麼辦?」307Please respect copyright.PENANAbt8Bg6PWWP
307Please respect copyright.PENANA6kSPMzJeZU
307Please respect copyright.PENANAoL6fEmBQ39
然而卡帕無暇理會眾人恐慌流言,只管環盼四周,提防每片人海裡潛藏的伏兵。好不容易從售票員手上接過頭等車票,卡帕遂再次抓緊兩小孩的手,快步走下自動扶手梯往列車月台走去。307Please respect copyright.PENANAcMYbxOkBtu
307Please respect copyright.PENANAfQQbeTeRm1
307Please respect copyright.PENANAOng4b6X4EU
直至登上車廂,三人圍坐到頭等軟腍的座位上,卡帕才稍為鬆一口氣,交叉著腳滑起魔匣。而烏普西朗亦卸下黑斗篷上的兜帽,望向隔壁跟著脫下斗篷、正連忙把魔法帽子重新穩在頭上的妲羽發呆,緩緩從緊張繃緊之中放鬆過來,靜待列車把他們帶到安全地方。
