天色漸暗，漫長的行程亦趨向尾聲。城裡萬千燈火映在銀白車身，打進車廂裡發呆的一雙紫瞳裡，視覺衝擊把疲憊意識再次清醒過來，挨到窗邊讓萬紫千紅之景盡入眼簾。362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ6KxeT9lu

「哇！這就是聖火城嗎？」烏普西朗驚嘆著，目不轉睛觀摩前方漸近的建築群。燈光遍佈建築群每一個角落，如同黑夜裡閃耀於大地上的太陽那般，蓋過天上繁星微光。362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT4rCLNshq

靠近的光景很快便佔據整個視界之中，烏普西朗正看得津津入味，下一秒眼前景色便驟然落入漆黑一片。列車沿著透明屏障下的路軌奔到地底，逐步減速直至靠近白光燈下的月台裡。362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDNbli7kEJ

「哈囉～我們到站了。」法依滿面笑容沿走廊走來，又對身後西裝男打了個眼色，命令他抱起癱睡長椅上的妲羽。自己則主動牽起烏普西朗的手，同步走出車廂。362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV4ewHQrb5

「你給我護送他倆到聖火大酒店，跟接待處的人說是堇先生的客人就好。」在登上自動扶手梯回到地面之前，佳依著法伊把兩小孩交給前來迎接的其中兩位墨鏡西裝男，考慮到早已在上層車站大堂恭候多時的娛樂新聞記者，便再加插一句：「你們從職員通道離開這裡，路上亦千萬不要讓記者看到這兩個小孩。」362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEO8yNZdSD
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGxzLEUlhl
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi8Ble2dJH
語畢，佳依便轉頭跟法伊便雙雙乘上扶手梯，緊隨其餘四位西裝男緩緩登上到異常喧騷的車站大堂。362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YpS7fn8b3

362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj13pka5iX0
法依與佳依，兩個閃耀奪目的倩影淡定從階梯現出一刻，尖叫聲、歡呼聲旋即響徹整座建築。擠滿車站大堂的人們在預先鋪設的圍欄外熱烈起哄，夾道歡迎這對雙生姊妹的歸來。362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQczaNdGSLX
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNPWqDiwJ8
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmkd9xKhAL
而站在前列的記者們亦把握這次露面機會，紛紛騎到圍欄上，朝著兩人舉起麥克風各自把事先背得爛熟的問題一一吐出。同聲發問使每個問句都變得含糊不清，然而對一開始就無意應答的姊妹來說，亦不過與背景喧囂無異。在四名黑衣壯漢護送之下，她們不約而同對兩側掛上滿臉和藹可親卻又深不可測的微笑，不發一語，擺出優雅貓步走過鐵圍欄分隔成的直路往車站出口前進。362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBftnV4RKK
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr7oDzYfV8
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J6aN1R0AG
這邊廂，兩黑衣男子應雙子命令，一人抱起仍酣睡的妲羽，另一人側領在前頭，帶著烏普西朗走進一處寫有「職員通道」的門後，從內裡空間側旁的樓梯低調踏入上層車站大堂範圍。362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGEoUeCieP

聚集大廳的眾人目光悉數投到中央圍欄裡漫步的雙子姊妹，令悄然走出職員通道的西裝男子得以護送烏普西朗與妲羽離開車站。穿插人海之中，烏普西朗好奇望向車站中央目光聚焦之處，但礙於自己個子矮小，亦不能隨意張開雙翼飛到半空俯瞰全景，他沒法看見兩面圍欄裡法伊與佳伊的身影，只從嘈雜的歡呼聲中聽見她們的名字。362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyXOhA0844
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6NGhLpTxf

好不容易擠到出口大門，烏普西朗在兩西裝男護送下總算離開人滿為患的車站大堂。玻璃自動幕門外是一片光輝燦爛的商業區，五光十色的燈管刻上街上大小店舖的名字與宣傳，頓時把初臨陌地的烏普西朗弄得眼花繚亂。362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlfYbVH9lm
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuvAbINVe4
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LlkErYGPl
注意力深深被前所未見的繁華熱鬧之景所吸引，雙腳無意識地緊隨兩西裝男子進入一建築物裡。等到夜下燈色消失於視野之中，被三面黑牆取而代之，才把烏普西朗的注意力放回正前方。眼前是一塊集體傳送法陣，有別於薄暮城一貫的淺藍風格，法陣閃爍五彩虹光，循環漸變，彷如跟著黑暗大廳裡迴盪的歌曲跳動。362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklw67b23cH

烏普西朗語一剛落，眼前法陣背後的三面黑牆突如閃出光輝，法依的身姿從中間黑牆上的屏幕赫然現出，妖媚表情猶如緊盯著烏普西朗以至法陣內所有人，微笑著呼應場內旋律熱唱。其後，佳依從三面屏幕左方徐徐步到法伊身邊，與法依各拿起一個啤酒罐，同步說出宣傳語句：362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLQaLNg59T

362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlonLRDZkr
語畢，恰巧身旁的西裝男從光盤地圖上選好目的地，捲起一陣強光蓋過屏幕上雙子微笑的影像。不出幾秒鐘，強光褪去，眼前再沒有法依和佳依載歌載舞的景象，玻璃窗排成圓拱形結構包圍傳送法陣，把室外熙攘之景呈現給到臨此地的人。362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWspwEDnPV4
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSCQN1DZBP
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwioToWv71
隨兩西裝男走出法陣，走過熱鬧繁囂的大街，來到一處稍為寧靜的街區，止步於一座深啡色、樓高約二十層的建築前，旋轉門上方放著一塊黑色橫牌以精緻而清楚的文體寫有「聖火大酒店」幾個大字。362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLlMd45H90
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5Ql5uaFHq
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BfkNglDey
推開旋轉門廊，酒店大廳充斥一陣濃烈花香，香熏氣味雖略帶誇張，後味卻又不乏清新感覺。如此氣派輝煌之地，不禁讓烏普西朗聯想起樞密院裡同樣奢華的景象。362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9WY0xVee8
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlOsxTH5Vb
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks9SB7dnuK
環盼四周，視線順其自然地被大廳中央成對的兩尊女神像所吸引。這兩尊白石雕像雙手各朝天捧起盛載虛幻火光的黃金容器，一左一右立在接待處正前方，侊如兩道門柱，以舉起的兩手作拱門為歡迎貴賓到臨。於是，烏普西朗趁西裝男子與接待職員交待事情之際拔腿衝到神像前，細心打量並放聲說著：362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAgosuVO73
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXBT74FBHF
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS8FdFVbal
「啊啊！這個地方跟樞密院很相似呢，只是這兩個神像怎樣看都不像是命運神。」362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqMCzdOZg3

362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs8HlZscWu
「小少爺，酒店大堂請降低聲量。」然而，「小少爺」興奮的吵鬧很快便被剛好推著行李車經過的酒店職員打斷。意識到大廳內眾人紛紛對他報以奇異目光，他只好羞著臉默默回到西裝男子身邊，快步隨他們走向旁邊升降機大堂。362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhIAhCQo10
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqmcXRLJwX
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjaZFm8mVS
「叮咚」一聲，升降機來到頂樓打開自動門，迎面而來便是一扇雕刻奢華的雙邊木門。西裝男推開大門，呈現在眼前便是一所寛敞而豪華的套房，落地大玻璃窗外迷人夜色一覽無遺，配以長身沙發和兩張特大床褥，頓時讓幼小的身姿顯得更為渺小。362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0gF6Io4NA

「在此代堇先生祝您們在聖火城生活美滿幸福。先告辭了。」負責領路的西裝男待同僚把妲羽輕輕放到其中一張大床之後，便恭敬地對烏普西朗鞠躬道別，與同僚閉上大門離開房間。362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0574wOT0tY

「嗯嗯……這裡是？」酣睡多時的少女亦隨魔力褪去而甦醒。她戴好帽子，見烏普西朗站在窗前一動不動，便喚起他注意：「烏普西朗？妲羽睡了多久？」362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LdFctrvO5
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9Y0amPZQD
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgLNEpHtnz
「現在大概是午夜了，可是外面還是像白天一樣。」烏普西朗先後拉起兩側窗簾遮住外面光輝燦爛一景，其後又漫無目的地在廣闊的房間裡踱步，讓頭腦稍稍冷靜下來。362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95g0SqQiBJ

「妳說有沒有一個可能性，伊歐鎝就在這座城裡面呢？」看著妲羽凝視著手上魔匣絞盡腦汁，納悶間烏普西朗忽然靈機一動，聲線再度變得亢奮：「對了！如果他在淨土裡，那麼他的魔匣就能收到我的撥號了，不是嗎？」362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2GrlPAAHi
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdgzHXtRge

話一剛落他便坐在床上，握起橙色魔匣純熟地從屏幕裡按下那串早已牢記在心底的號碼，然後便滿臉希望地把屏幕貼到耳邊，等待對方回應。362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt57OpuobaC

然而過了一會，聽筒彼方仍是一如既往的沉默，沒有等待對方接聽的「嘟……嘟……」聲長響，只隱約傳來一陣空洞如風鳴的迴響。362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDIseRb787

嘆息過後，烏普西朗把魔匣放回口袋裡，掛著失落神情躺在被窩裡，再沒哼出半點聲線。
