昂天歷995年,帝國統治著全太陽系,不到十歲的亞克兄弟已經在海王星出了名。據說,遇到那兩個傢伙,身上一定會少幾樣東西⸺錢財、衣物,或是天真。535Please respect copyright.PENANAHkwKvOdYBi
535Please respect copyright.PENANAAnEPoJEgFI
大的亞克:奧賽羅天資聰穎,擅長分辨居民和觀光客的行為模式,知道誰可以扒、誰會醉倒在路邊、誰能用話術拐騙。535Please respect copyright.PENANASjgOffwxf0
535Please respect copyright.PENANAm27SNLLZdm
小的亞克:西賽羅身手矯健,總是能實行哥哥的計畫。摸走包包衣物、賣弄演技乞討,都難不倒他。535Please respect copyright.PENANAhnwWUrCZNG
535Please respect copyright.PENANAtfnRi4vtyU
亞克就像邊境的代名詞⸺品行低劣、無法無天,但那並不是他們的真正姓氏。帝國底層的「單名階級」常常一出生就被拋棄,擁有一個共同稱呼、結黨成行,才不用獨自面對殘酷世界。535Please respect copyright.PENANAi3kCDqooG4
535Please respect copyright.PENANA5TBPQ21oTx
「好念又好記,嘿嘿,我真會取。」535Please respect copyright.PENANADh4VT3XjsK
535Please respect copyright.PENANAajruSEEEEx
西賽羅躺在皮草大衣鋪成的床墊裡,對頭上的風扇自豪。他的眉毛和嘴角總是高高掛著。535Please respect copyright.PENANA1zzpG6dD9s
535Please respect copyright.PENANAGTnmezrNod
「是哦……哪來的靈感?」535Please respect copyright.PENANAc6YD4WsvmS
535Please respect copyright.PENANAyN0BDXcTi6
奧賽羅坐在弟弟旁邊,專心攪拌杯子裡的粉末。能住進通氣管路的頂級地段,都得歸功於他的探究精神。535Please respect copyright.PENANAzF4ne6OZgy
535Please respect copyright.PENANABKZ47GlXhS
「亞克就是『方舟』!一種很大的船,比整個站還大……很久以前,有些地球人坐方舟到很遠的太陽去生活,新聞說帝國要找出他們。」535Please respect copyright.PENANA4z2N725EZd
535Please respect copyright.PENANAJOIOjyUdzg
「帝國是去搶錢的啦,你也要去搶嗎?」奧賽羅理性批評,不願讓弟弟思緒跑太遠,遞出了手中那杯褐色液體。535Please respect copyright.PENANAJcvx8XbkSE
535Please respect copyright.PENANA9BZqw9nlWr
「不知道……能夠離開這個地方,去哪裡都好……」西賽羅接過杯子直接灌下,整張臉皺成了一團,「好苦!什麼東西啦!」535Please respect copyright.PENANAkj2kQ9wzMK
535Please respect copyright.PENANAg3no0HLlzM
「即溶咖啡,商會製品。」奧賽羅拿回杯子淺嚐,跟著吐出舌頭,「嘔……難怪會在垃圾堆!」535Please respect copyright.PENANAASsonPAOLc
535Please respect copyright.PENANAfrwlOaxej0
笑鬧聲在通風口迴響。也許,接受那個苦澀才能順利長大成人。哥哥看著弟弟,不禁想像華麗大船載著他們衝破閉塞世界,航往新天地的景色。535Please respect copyright.PENANAChQhDqECn5
535Please respect copyright.PENANAY6erv64nUD
「西賽……有個方法可以讓我們離開這裡……」535Please respect copyright.PENANAAE2C5CvlRs

雙拳相碰,象徵血緣的信賴永不分離。數日後,兄弟倆毅然決然地踏入「諾鎧」工廠。535Please respect copyright.PENANA3C2IwWPnxV
535Please respect copyright.PENANARsh3rF84sK
身體改造手術加上精神連結實驗、死亡率高達七成的高風險粗工,他們都撐了過去。爛命一條也能賭到大獎,在谷底出生,從此之後只會扶搖直上。535Please respect copyright.PENANAtJJ7bIoSQE
535Please respect copyright.PENANACWoW4Idnmm
海王星的命運亦同。535Please respect copyright.PENANAk4S4AFIuDV
535Please respect copyright.PENANAZdnMfE9O4Y
帝國遠征行動帶來契機,偏僻太空站變成連通外宇宙的貨運樞紐。商會組織日益壯大,一個名叫札廣的男子爬上高層,用狠毒手段消滅理事制度,以寡頭鐵腕擴展犯罪經濟。535Please respect copyright.PENANAQVmItWU2et
535Please respect copyright.PENANACmqRhm2HBw
精明能幹的兄弟也接受徵招,正式迎接他們的黃金年代。期間歷經新月崛起、帝國內亂,政局如何改變,都無法阻止海王星累積財富。535Please respect copyright.PENANA7SQoN7YUaj
535Please respect copyright.PENANAzux4yH1FNH
昂天歷1010年,兩個亞克搬進公寓新家⸺上下層庫房打通的秘密基地。535Please respect copyright.PENANAKhC6Jr7BHY

「哥,你覺得……人類能夠改變嗎?」535Please respect copyright.PENANA3lneUYSmft
535Please respect copyright.PENANAcsQYrB2ZCM
長大的西賽羅靠在陽台上,遙望站內的芸芸眾生。叛逆龐克髮型、拉風紅夾克,看似充滿自信,脫口而出卻是無奈,「我……能夠改變他們嗎?」535Please respect copyright.PENANATV6XtEnHVy
535Please respect copyright.PENANAG985OY3oTd
「別想破頭了,你不是那種料。」依舊尖酸的奧賽羅站在玄關,不想讓人造日光曬到邋遢睡衣。冰箱旁的沖泡機發出嗶聲,咖啡香氣瞬間瀰漫。535Please respect copyright.PENANAM7qz3vZKXK

「喏,特里頓三號私藏豆,慶祝新居落成。」535Please respect copyright.PENANAhuSqbyFv72
535Please respect copyright.PENANAKxwR7W1eiQ
「謝啦!」弟弟接過哥哥手上瓷杯,想起當初的艱困日子,「幾年前,我們還在喝化學粉末加廢水泡的東西呢……真神奇。」535Please respect copyright.PENANAVsUw4aB7Hz
535Please respect copyright.PENANAteiZvgZAg7
只要抓緊羈絆,境遇絕對能夠改變。西賽羅深吸一口氣,闡明心中想法。535Please respect copyright.PENANAaA0b43reOP
535Please respect copyright.PENANAlRGcjTRKTu
「哥……幾乎每天,我都會看到跟我們一樣的孤兒死在路上,跟垃圾一起被燒成灰……我常常在想,他們的方舟在哪裡?我的方舟……能戴多少人?這條命到底有什麼意義呢⸺聽過凱笛希父女嗎?他們也是自己取的姓氏,甚至還要串聯殖民地推翻帝國,我想要建議札廣老闆……」535Please respect copyright.PENANAeN5JJ4ccKU
535Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5wVe85XMe
「那是戰爭,太危險了!」535Please respect copyright.PENANADe7FDJG1Uu
535Please respect copyright.PENANA7GFaNS8tNi
奧賽羅第一次這麼大聲說話,自己也被嚇到。535Please respect copyright.PENANAhHu9UnrnOd

「我知道,我只能盡力而為……但是,哥不需要像我以樣,也能夠改變世界。」535Please respect copyright.PENANAGTJuFZpEup
535Please respect copyright.PENANAmOkSNZ1RiZ
西賽羅遞回空杯,用灑脫口吻附上一個提案,「和平重工⸺實力至上的宇宙企業,哥的頭腦不輸內環人,穀神星的職訓學校,最適合你這天才啦。」535Please respect copyright.PENANALBNzfHv8WZ

535Please respect copyright.PENANAfNxuKBS16V
希望的雙掌搭上猶豫的肩膀,一縷光輝照進房間暗處。奧賽羅知道自己無法回絕,也無法壓抑內心悸動。他發誓,不管到哪裡落腳、不管換成什麼名字,永遠都不會拋棄亞克這個歸屬。535Please respect copyright.PENANAqUR2CC6mkQ
535Please respect copyright.PENANAgfsx2ZxSEK
新的目標、新的未來,兩個亞克會一起實現。535Please respect copyright.PENANAXeYflfa9xS
535Please respect copyright.PENANAauD3rIBh4x
為了幫派殺人,他們痛哭;為了同個女孩打完架,他們躺在樓頂大笑。弟弟的臉被砍到送醫,哥哥毫不猶豫用上所有財產;哥哥缺少實驗器材,弟弟總會全力尋找入手管道。535Please respect copyright.PENANACjPQofK5Ty

多少困難都熬過了,真正考驗才要降臨。535Please respect copyright.PENANAvpj53c47Tj
535Please respect copyright.PENANAA6Y0UB5Db4
外環聯盟OBU的獨立抗爭日漸激化,帝國派系不得不著手處理。時局逼使之下,商會也必須表態。535Please respect copyright.PENANATBK2uEpF7Y
535Please respect copyright.PENANA6r8qiD9Zxo
一艘新月戰艦為了施壓而停進太空站,情勢劍拔弩張。535Please respect copyright.PENANALi22D7d8nK
535Please respect copyright.PENANALy4cbyPxhE
聽到札廣決定攻擊,西賽羅熱血沸騰。他終於能幫底層階級宣示力量,讓世界知道,他們不是只會低聲下氣的奴僕。535Please respect copyright.PENANAACA7gHFDAy
535Please respect copyright.PENANAZn6OMpD2II
但,他沒有告知奧賽羅這場行動,因為哥哥有不同的路要走,危險的事就讓自己面對。只要成功,方舟就能拯救大家;只要成功,就能得到財富,讓哥哥實現夢想。535Please respect copyright.PENANAtPjXBbRmEd
535Please respect copyright.PENANA34k0BvDQrp
結果,行動失敗了。535Please respect copyright.PENANAsk5RNSWewt
535Please respect copyright.PENANA4tLLmBAYI3
札廣之外的共謀者全數被捕、送交軍法審判。海王星拒絕加入OBU,保持中立免於戰火。和平的代價,對太空站來說微乎其微。弟弟的下場傳到哥哥手中,只用幾個文字就打發掉⸺流放宇宙死刑。535Please respect copyright.PENANAvBIDX0mBUS
535Please respect copyright.PENANACVgBiLTlyz
日夜照樣輪替,卻再也沒有光芒能照進鎖緊的房門。時至現今……
「你的仇,俺可記得清清楚楚!奧賽羅⸺」535Please respect copyright.PENANA9Nm3ZM6C1S
535Please respect copyright.PENANAzEJ1dDmkEX
札廣在辦公桌前跟對講機說話,同時翻著手邊雜誌。羅漢堂壞滅,計畫順利進行,還是得適時安撫「棋子」情緒。535Please respect copyright.PENANAz7r83WhuT5
535Please respect copyright.PENANA7oFvhvCdom
「當時,多虧你願意忍耐,咱們才能跟新月軍斡旋……那些日子沒有白廢掉,你幫商會累積技術實力,成功打造我們的軍隊,反攻之日就快到了……想想你弟弟的遺願吧!再忍一下,不要像他那樣擅自行動。」535Please respect copyright.PENANA535raRQlJA

粗短食指掛斷謊言,光頭領袖哼著歌,繼續享受漫畫上的鮮豔圖文。此時,一名面具男子走出牆邊陰影,左手的改造鐵爪發出喀答聲響。535Please respect copyright.PENANAtLJ6oJd1Du

商會刺客⸺狼刃⸺一針見血地說。535Please respect copyright.PENANANs1gtVm3tJ
535Please respect copyright.PENANAuf1lQ9HsTj
「哎,俺是幫他們釐清現實⸺西賽羅用生命換來和平,當個無名英雄總比死在街頭好……奧賽羅也不用去重工浪費才能,穀神星現在都變成邪教聖地啦……等等,他來了。」535Please respect copyright.PENANAXSbVlIx468
535Please respect copyright.PENANAZWIkfrFh5b
腳步接近。狼刃拉下兜帽憑空消失,札廣則是收起權謀算計,笑臉迎接另一個被遺願所困的男人。535Please respect copyright.PENANANECfJyJa6M
535Please respect copyright.PENANARE88sRWDJ7
「烏霸!傷口好點沒?多虧你們殺雞儆猴,『白蘭度家族』和『艾斯科瓦』都不敢作亂囉……現在,是海王星最團結的時刻。」535Please respect copyright.PENANAYPI9M5Y2El

「說,下個計畫是什麼?」535Please respect copyright.PENANAKfdJSjctSz
535Please respect copyright.PENANAflovHTlF1f
「這麼勤奮?很好很好……」札廣按下桌上按鈕,投影裝置顯現出星體圖像⸺滿是皺褶的淡黃地表被開了一個整齊的四方大洞,上頭寫著:Triton。535Please respect copyright.PENANAypskgSolGO
535Please respect copyright.PENANA1q8ywH0iyc
「海衛一『特里頓農場』……我想收購一些土地,麻煩的是,那邊通訊設施壞很久了,需要有人去跟那群老古板交涉……」535Please respect copyright.PENANAALjVTajlKU

「哦?這次要我去砍農夫嗎……不如,我現在就砍死你!」535Please respect copyright.PENANAoVOG3IBXJn
535Please respect copyright.PENANAorY5f8uWyD
烏霸剛要拔刀,喉頭就傳來冰冷刺痛感。面具男子緊貼在銀髮劍士身後,鐵爪一劃就能割開他的動脈。535Please respect copyright.PENANABfQRcdGQth
535Please respect copyright.PENANAShyOC5vhkF
「嘻嘻,快砍啊,新來的。」535Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4FOf2SAVF
535Please respect copyright.PENANA6rjBvlzvWS
「狼刃……混帳……」記憶閃現,烏霸看過那個面具。就是那個面具在土星的決戰時刻救走敵將,害他無法幫米勒報仇,535Please respect copyright.PENANAsPSY7HId5F

535Please respect copyright.PENANAUWNZ10rMge
「看到這帥氣封面沒?『星際戰神亞特伍德』,出自本地最優秀的作者群……他是外星種族,驍勇善戰又充滿勇氣慈愛……簡直就是咱們,對吧?外環居民還有雪星之子,攜手合作、改善世界。」535Please respect copyright.PENANA0yqFRzQomg
535Please respect copyright.PENANAf59NAoMzoI
滔滔不絕的推銷讓怒氣散去。銀髮劍士右手離開刀柄,喉頭的威脅也跟著卸除。535Please respect copyright.PENANAnNFLLB8AhL

535Please respect copyright.PENANArXqL7INqxB
「摸摸看內頁,那個觸感……你可知道在太陽系,『木材紙』是貴族階級才能擁有的珍品⸺但風水輪流轉!重工瓦解、科技遺失,電子紙再過幾年就會變成沒用的塑膠片……商會已經研發出天然纖維合成技術,只要確保原料供應,就能把我們奔放自由的創意印出來,來個『文化大反攻』……」535Please respect copyright.PENANA5yZJJiHP90
535Please respect copyright.PENANAMGfK4NdtR8
「所以,你想買地種樹。」烏霸放下書刊,半信半疑地問道:「我跟農場這樣講就好了?」535Please respect copyright.PENANAGDiZ4K4IiX
535Please respect copyright.PENANAw70e90GqGL
「對、對……我最喜歡種樹,樹從不予取予求,給它光和水,它就會給我們氧氣、給我們遮蔭……農場會理解,除了赤藻這種短期作物,還有更多值得栽培的選擇。」535Please respect copyright.PENANAoTRcT4fh3Z
535Please respect copyright.PENANAcaZAPRqP8O
「哼……」劍士皺著眉頭,轉身走出辦公室。刺客狼刃也提起行囊,準備跟去監視。535Please respect copyright.PENANAIx4313Zn60

劍士與刺客一前一後到達星際港口,搭乘開往海衛一的運輸船。路上,他們看到不少『電子淨土』信徒,舉著牌子懇求穀神星的便車。到那邊才能住進網路世界、與AI一起航向外宇宙。535Please respect copyright.PENANAv8DgrIlWFw
535Please respect copyright.PENANA7EobpotpxV
烏霸反芻自己現世的使命,一屁股坐進貴賓席,把椅背壓到最低,干擾後座的狼刃,「喂,混帳……你最近去過穀神對吧?」535Please respect copyright.PENANApg2NkYdR5W
535Please respect copyright.PENANASQI1Wy5Yl0
「新人……從剛剛就在耍什麼腦殘?別把我跟那些軟弱的廢物相提並論,沒有能力生存,儘管去投奔虛像,留在這裡也只會浪費食物……如果我有去穀神,一定是去幫他們超生的……懂了就閉嘴!」535Please respect copyright.PENANAHLQa8evNLS
535Please respect copyright.PENANAmFAL9rtdhS
狼刃依舊不承認,那些尖銳話語聽起來出自真心。烏霸回頭默默拼湊線索⸺當初遭遇面具客時,他的身形看起來確實跟現在有所落差……但軀體容易改造,旁邊那個與亞克博士相似的背影也令人在意……535Please respect copyright.PENANAqZPZ149Pfr

隸屬白蘭度家族的黑幫幹部低頭報備。他的主子⸺身穿燕尾服、頭戴高帽的中年紳士睜大眼睛,興致勃勃地打量今天的伴遊女郎。535Please respect copyright.PENANAY385n3LJQr

收折紙傘、彎腰鞠躬,綁帶包不住的豐滿美胸在寬鬆領口下若隱若現。雪白嫩肌跟絲絨和服一樣純淨,也讓全身的暗紅傷疤格外明顯。左手銀色義肢撫過秀髮,反射著殘缺的妖豔。過去千瘡百孔,她卻不吝於大方展露。535Please respect copyright.PENANA6j8wFtQM7i
