房貝吏刻唐等待三人走下樓梯,三人打開門前再次確認後方沒人。237Please respect copyright.PENANAmDdIUP3qNx
身為帝國女皇的輔佐官,貝吏刻唐大可以就此罷手,待時機成熟再把他們一網打盡,但他沒有選擇這樣做。237Please respect copyright.PENANA01k8B2SPqu
237Please respect copyright.PENANAJNWQto6NzE
他用魔力包著鞋子減低腳步聲,趁門打開冒著撞牆的風險蹲下衝向樓梯口。237Please respect copyright.PENANAvnLZ78sotT
237Please respect copyright.PENANAe3OsPnyvNV
最後一人正打算關門,貝吏刻唐剛好趕上在關門前走下樓梯,從門的空隙穿進去。237Please respect copyright.PENANAXfjWClgn6d
237Please respect copyright.PENANAFJOpm3NWBu
房間裏的景色讓他非常驚訝。237Please respect copyright.PENANAfo9HxNMuNH
237Please respect copyright.PENANA1L0f0jyP0P
房間中央放了一張大木桌,桌上有一幅描繪帝國國境和邊界的地圖以及數頂油燈。237Please respect copyright.PENANAqoMVzKlv3R
237Please respect copyright.PENANAhUiM2OtorI
前方的牆上掛了一幅大黑板,黑板上用英文寫了七零八落的筆記。237Please respect copyright.PENANAiYTzOBCyoN
237Please respect copyright.PENANAPv58ercpfI
角落都放了幾個疑似用來放置物資的木桶,木桶上有些木盤,貝吏刻唐剛才差點撞到一個。237Please respect copyright.PENANA9TVEyQlmte
237Please respect copyright.PENANApBd6LHdWVE
牆邊放了數張書椅和書桌,上面放了些文件。237Please respect copyright.PENANABlFy9Af1ve
237Please respect copyright.PENANAiMXU6tTfsr
而且房間裏有十多個穿著同樣款式衣服的人。237Please respect copyright.PENANAVvr4ZvEcGk
237Please respect copyright.PENANAgOIxf5CAaR
一個原先在觀察地圖,綁著辮子的褐髮女孩聽見關門聲便向三人問好:「威爾、艾爾,那個人有說甚麼嗎?」237Please respect copyright.PENANArjWE0BFkkC
237Please respect copyright.PENANA8XgOu5Opi8
一直被貝吏刻唐嚇怕,名為艾爾的男子回應:「沒有甚麼特別的事。」237Please respect copyright.PENANAr7hnUmZkzF
237Please respect copyright.PENANA2jDMsMrcuU
女孩回頭看著地圖:「麻煩了呢......時間已經不多了......」237Please respect copyright.PENANAOxE3rbvZQF
237Please respect copyright.PENANAlNmXJcBGJf
地圖上圈著帝國首都、首都北邊的雪山、首都東北方的平原、帝國西部未開發的土地以及帝國北部與「元頂之湖」距離不遠的邊界。237Please respect copyright.PENANAe6NIawR5X6
237Please respect copyright.PENANAry0mAIjE8D
「妳覺得那個女人說的話是真的嗎?世界要毀滅了?」237Please respect copyright.PENANAf8P1oTg7zd
237Please respect copyright.PENANAxIO4NNAD92
「就是因為不可信我們才會被派來這裏送死啊!沒有收穫也不要緊,死了也不是沒有損失,但我們是心甘情願的!」女孩拿著筆指著艾爾。237Please respect copyright.PENANAHfvMxT1ApH
237Please respect copyright.PENANAI7QYjzW4Mn
另一個名叫威爾的男子說:「她說的這些地點和帝國皇宮有甚麼關係?」237Please respect copyright.PENANAo5vK0rCcuQ
237Please respect copyright.PENANAsQz3OyrkI8
「首先,我們不知道帝國把禁物收到哪裏了!而且這種地點就算連起來也沒有甚麼特別意義!所以!皇宮裏一定有我們想要的線索!」237Please respect copyright.PENANA6AT9Bj1gY8
237Please respect copyright.PENANARbjSPMd9TB
三人在討論貝吏刻唐完全聽不懂的話題。
間裏的其他人都在搬運或處理文件。237Please respect copyright.PENANAPf978S47JI
237Please respect copyright.PENANADkcurBgKhU
「就算我們能進到皇宮也沒用啊!他們可是有幾十個可以用魔法的人,我們被發現馬上就會被抓!」艾爾激動地說。237Please respect copyright.PENANANEj90SPPsr
237Please respect copyright.PENANAZYV0hNkPfA
「那你想我們跟他們說:『世界要毀滅了,請和我們一起摧毀禁物和放棄魔法!』嗎?不要作夢了!他們可是—」237Please respect copyright.PENANAfE5TeHJdXC
237Please respect copyright.PENANAZxrtQs1t9M
「為甚麼我們要那麼激動?」威爾問。237Please respect copyright.PENANAYV9VEWOetw
237Please respect copyright.PENANANUiZQLh2Fw
其他人連一眼也沒有看過他們,彷如早已習慣在吵鬧環境下工作。237Please respect copyright.PENANA9Mc6IIkL1u
237Please respect copyright.PENANAy3glGWEX2h
「因為我不知道在發生甚麼事啊!」女孩大聲地叫:「先是帝國、然後是巴烏卡、再來是加奧里,現在祢又跟我說世界要毀滅?『聽媽媽的話還是跟監護人走?』完全不明白甚麼意思!」237Please respect copyright.PENANAJOpNJKlHtg
237Please respect copyright.PENANAScqLj45QjP
他們像一羣邪教徒般討論不存在亦不會來臨的世界末日,貝吏刻唐當在聽吟遊詩人說故事。237Please respect copyright.PENANAfEPlJ1SOsY
237Please respect copyright.PENANAsT7NAeG5FK
「甚麼是監護人?完全完全聽不懂!媽媽的懷抱很溫暖......」女孩自言自語。237Please respect copyright.PENANAc9nNASC41M
237Please respect copyright.PENANAMH4y3GeF66
突然,三人全部靜下來。女孩繼續看著地圖,兩個男子走到書桌前和其他人一起整理文件。237Please respect copyright.PENANAxQZ3SjbiCh
237Please respect copyright.PENANATiYqr24R55
房間除了腳步聲和紙張被掀起的聲音以外沒有一絲聲響。237Please respect copyright.PENANAI4cr025ShR
237Please respect copyright.PENANAlqscSXFEhI
這裏是哪裏?這些是聯邦人嗎?237Please respect copyright.PENANAwVywdF4J9M
237Please respect copyright.PENANA2OIVPWJKCA
在熟悉地方來到陌生地遇見陌生人聽見陌生話,貝吏刻唐一時三刻不知該如何反應。237Please respect copyright.PENANAnoiHcWzm0o
237Please respect copyright.PENANACVYO2pvdM2
「孩子......」有把老婦的聲音直接從他腦海裏響起,他動彈不得。237Please respect copyright.PENANAqhujWDAM8a
237Please respect copyright.PENANAW97aJEYRF4
貝吏刻唐回過神來,發現自己身處灰色房間中。237Please respect copyright.PENANABbJ23SnGpz
237Please respect copyright.PENANAtGJT6B6rxL
除了頭頂上的電燈和灰色牆壁外空無一物。237Please respect copyright.PENANAUjhcd90hQH
237Please respect copyright.PENANAZtwxIdwb10
「我在哪裏?」貝吏刻唐問。237Please respect copyright.PENANAwewKRysg3f
237Please respect copyright.PENANA9bg2dN2OvE
「你的心裏。」237Please respect copyright.PENANAJEQCzjzQU5
237Please respect copyright.PENANAJ04VPXZ133
「我的心?」237Please respect copyright.PENANAIwc5o1VreE
237Please respect copyright.PENANAFo1t7AklaO
「沒錯,每個人的心都很空虛。」237Please respect copyright.PENANAJgIilA4opD
237Please respect copyright.PENANADIC7nNhm4G
「為甚麼我會在哪裏?」237Please respect copyright.PENANAcU9V6Cm0c8
237Please respect copyright.PENANAZs13xSWrxZ
「為了知道你必需知道的事。」237Please respect copyright.PENANAqfhlPsSFaS
237Please respect copyright.PENANA6if42cyYKy
「我必需知道的事?」237Please respect copyright.PENANAWnrGp4Z2g7
237Please respect copyright.PENANACi8QUsWGAU
「世界要毀滅了。」237Please respect copyright.PENANAxftPtvcEdm
237Please respect copyright.PENANA8M7Z9VZyu3
「我要做甚麼?」237Please respect copyright.PENANA3o84Ds1puJ
237Please respect copyright.PENANAJUQsrkJDme
「集合心之力,驅逐操偶師。」237Please respect copyright.PENANAHl7VYvjsui
237Please respect copyright.PENANAWa4PkRgca1
「祢是誰?」237Please respect copyright.PENANANojjvcC5Xu
237Please respect copyright.PENANAs35PqHDOdU
「你的『媽媽』,靈魂的母親。」237Please respect copyright.PENANABkBSci5GXZ
237Please respect copyright.PENANA4bawwvUATo
「我不明白,祢說的話跟我們一直以來經歷的事一點關係也沒有。」237Please respect copyright.PENANAsK51p2FMFl
237Please respect copyright.PENANAIy2rQksrM7
「要有關係嗎?諸多巧合連成事實。」237Please respect copyright.PENANASPUq5Z1oCf
237Please respect copyright.PENANAI9eaHIGamI
「......」237Please respect copyright.PENANAKT0J0KvPFo
237Please respect copyright.PENANAJCu4BQnEdR
「時間不多,『媽媽』只能靠你們解決操偶師。」237Please respect copyright.PENANAPSyYGqgtDR
237Please respect copyright.PENANA9wNixndBqS
「誰是玩偶?」237Please respect copyright.PENANA65mbbgKARD
237Please respect copyright.PENANAEl5EXmkFrs
「誰一直被玩弄,誰一直玩弄?」237Please respect copyright.PENANAuF7INDRjYI
237Please respect copyright.PENANA1PqM1Q2Ysv
「......」237Please respect copyright.PENANALCl4wiWr89
237Please respect copyright.PENANAEj1KLBYIjW
貝吏刻唐再次張開眼睛,發現自己仍在餐廳裏,迪斯普和荷芳正準備離開。
237Please respect copyright.PENANAuoZkETdjJT
貝吏刻唐看著兩人臉帶笑容走出餐廳,彷彿忘記了任務般跑回剛才聯邦人所在的屋子。237Please respect copyright.PENANAgSVH6ufID3
237Please respect copyright.PENANAYuZmucW6vP
他敲了三下門,但沒有聲音從裏面發出。237Please respect copyright.PENANAimWQY6v405
237Please respect copyright.PENANAWXExv7wjPb
開門進入後,內裏的景象一模一樣。237Please respect copyright.PENANA2gczojowpX
237Please respect copyright.PENANA57d6x8wGYT
差點黑得伸手不見五指的酒館、破爛且擺放混亂的桌椅、感覺隨時會斷掉的木地板。237Please respect copyright.PENANAasgbLISpEI
237Please respect copyright.PENANAyXzoi35DiI
貝吏刻唐走下樓梯口,來到聯邦人的基地門前。他先貼頭在門邊聽裏面有沒有人,但甚麼也聽不見。
剛剛發生的一切都太莫名其妙,貝吏刻唐已經開始懷疑起現實。237Please respect copyright.PENANAZkpLTgfkYf
237Please respect copyright.PENANAl5OedRrrKz
他冒著已經被人發現的風險快速地推開門,然而房間內一個人也沒有。237Please respect copyright.PENANARzBjwVTv23
237Please respect copyright.PENANArTKyjJEfi6
文件、地圖、黑板上的字如出一轍,唯獨是地圖上多了一張紙。237Please respect copyright.PENANAbGqZa280kC
237Please respect copyright.PENANAX3ABsFNW4I
「輔佐官閣下:237Please respect copyright.PENANAlcjASu6xJP
237Please respect copyright.PENANAuIxq1AdJRi
吾等並非有意潛伏於貴國首都,亦無意加害貴國。假使閣下亦受神之啟示,敬請引領吾等逃離滅亡之災。」237Please respect copyright.PENANAWd96f2JTFO
237Please respect copyright.PENANAubmGEShXaA
完全無法理解內容。237Please respect copyright.PENANAgte20uOPbQ
237Please respect copyright.PENANAbrUPXpAdKR
貝吏刻唐收起紙張,閱讀聯邦人留下的文件。237Please respect copyright.PENANAOMGAa5bT1v
237Please respect copyright.PENANAo60TnYjy8O
「似乎有些我們完全不明白的事正在發生,帝國應該有頭緒?」
237Please respect copyright.PENANAFPorYHFuCA
「一年多前我們都見過弗烈雅,她最近露面也沒有提過任何關於世界毀滅的事。」
237Please respect copyright.PENANA30BnzhjbVg
「『媽媽』是甚麼?比人類更高一等的存在嗎?還是『比人類更高一等的存在更高一等的存在』?」237Please respect copyright.PENANAtAU7eoInXi
237Please respect copyright.PENANA6VRjzbEpaQ
他們難道甚麼都沒有收拾就離開了嗎?237Please respect copyright.PENANAAowN910e3Z
237Please respect copyright.PENANAS1ZwXb4fat
貝吏刻唐毫不期待地查看黑板。237Please respect copyright.PENANAKd6UcehWBy
237Please respect copyright.PENANAp33BDklGyT
「死亡。」「平靜。」「秩序。」「混沌。」「消除。」「保留。」「對立。」「缺失。」237Please respect copyright.PENANAQUkHI6dyhP
237Please respect copyright.PENANA4CfLyeCJWe
八個詞語以八種不同顏色散落在黑板上,同樣意義不明。237Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3WtXnK7zs
237Please respect copyright.PENANADLbaeizjZ4
貝吏刻唐打開黑板旁的木桶,有些裝了麵包,有些載著水。237Please respect copyright.PENANAFrhW8HZK75
237Please respect copyright.PENANAbzZoxP74V9
他觀察地圖上被標記的數個地點,但找不出它們的關聯。
