燕尾服紳士轉動方向盤，滔滔不絕地說著海衛一的冰火山、氮晶土。椿在隔壁位子隨口附和，翻出銀色義手內藏的化妝鏡，默默計算著「時機」。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorhuKF8Zlq

「所以呢，連接地底水脈的農場，最適合用來生產『十二天』強化藥劑……看到那個大洞？只有一條高速公路進出，運貨有點不方便就是了。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJb40F4u5a

渦輪禮車飛越一艘運輸船，進入特里頓高空軌道。黑幫頭目讓引擎怠速運轉，用星體的淡黃微光增添情趣，伸手摟住旁邊的伴遊女郎。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00XQLECTnI

「哇……老爺您好厲害！」椿口是心非地親吻目標臉龐，張開腿跨坐上去。派系鬥爭她不在乎，但事後的大額賞金可以讓她入戲。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVpeLv9LT4
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXVuoQwybm
面對面交互吐息，女郎用潮紅臉頰磨蹭老爺耳朵，想讓他放鬆警戒。這時，引擎的低頻震動突然顯得掃興。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOb0Auzmcl

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAc6ciBzsk
紳士把方向盤收進操縱面板，讓座椅帶著交疊的兩人滑到後方空間。椿趁機確認她的紙傘位置，拉著目標衣領挪動過去，露出自己的香肩。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLzBLoKCeD

童話般的問答結束，滿是破綻的脖子就在眼前。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3yDjKyBMg

老爺抬頭與椿四目相交、激吻定情。恍惚之間，只見一絲銀光垂下女郎手中細棍，接著，就是她的冷血笑容。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwLjP4CY0U

超韌絕緣合成纖維⸺掃描之下看起來與紙傘零件無異，在專業人士手中就能變成歷久不衰的凶器。女刺客抓緊奪命絲線，迅速繞了目標頸部兩圈，狠狠往兩側猛拉。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjIjulL6eN
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CG8rtPaA8
「呃！喀……」紳士瞪大眼睛、表情痛苦地猛搔喉頭。椿舉著雙手，靜靜觀賞他最後幾秒鐘，想像錢財入手之後要去哪享樂。土星、火星？335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT5NMYzitn

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4hRM3HWQs
突然，男人的雙掌狠狠鉗住女郎頸部。意料外的反擊逼使刺客放下絲線。情勢逆轉。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxMZvjmwNL

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ogQfdA8x5
「嗚……」椿內心一涼，趕緊靠向椅背，用反彈力道把兩人推到無重力的半空，但黑幫頭目還是死不鬆手。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXsWgwN0kR
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeSLFCCp9S
「妳提到媽媽？我小時候可讓她頭疼囉……聽說我常把壞掉的玩具撿回來，把它們玩到更壞、玩到整個爛掉⸺嘻嘻，我現在還是沒變！我要撕開妳的疤、把妳變成真正的『過去式』……然後，我要進去妳裡面，在妳裡面感受那個過程！這就是、生命的、品嘗法！」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nXDABGWJ6

絕不能被這個變態玷汙。椿忍受喉頭重壓，緊緊抓著最後一點意識、把腳探向儀表板，碰到東西就胡亂猛踩，意外按到輔助駕駛系統。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7gRKYbhrD

智能導航啟動渦輪引擎，禮車開始往海衛一加速俯衝。纏鬥的兩人被迫分離、黏到車頂。椿趁機從義手甩出一支角質骨刀，奮力轉身插進目標胸膛。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5f5pWc6nU

攻擊失敗，奈米護甲連尖刃都能夾毀。紳士毫不留情地抓起女人的臉用力捶打，再把她甩到操縱板上。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9PAvTAVHG
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOiFD7halu
「妳不乖……自討苦吃……」拍拍衣角紅斑，黑幫頭目低下頭，試圖解開絲線，「該死，怎麼綁這麼緊……」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHTsqbSnpJ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6i9lNAomO
椿擦掉滲血唾液，盯著背後的雷達螢幕喘氣。當禮車經過一台小型飛艇時，她馬上扳動方向盤，故意撞了過去。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSSUeFGbQv
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSagAkmiGMw
砰然巨響。紳士頭部重擊右側車門，然後又被彈到別處。警報聲與引擎噪音共鳴，系統自行修正方向，讓鐵皮容器裡的肉身到處滾動。椿緊緊抓著面板，壓抑爬上食道的胃酸，希望目標能趕快失神。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtfujDUyHa
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuilXhrR4kx
幾秒後，禮車終於回復平穩、順利飛進海衛一高速公路，在離心重力場中接地行駛。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgF5q1I6Ef
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVguASA5oZt
綿延不斷的壁燈連成直線，逆行的運輸列車呼嘯而過。女刺客快要精疲力盡，黑幫頭目又爬了起來。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0eVKuoZ3G
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3vrfIEwub
「太耐打了吧……」椿觀察環境，有效武器只有左手義肢。傘跟絲線還掛在目標脖子上，然後，就是被撞到搖搖欲墜的車門，「好……」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FopOl8oCv
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM3ZNpu5oK
「好什麼！」紳士沒有給她時間思考，再次伸手掐了過去。椿立刻彎曲身體閃避，撲到座艙右側。老爺抓了個空，隨即朝後方出腳，把女郎的胸膛踩在門上。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuajazJ6R1c
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtlGv48hID
椿咬牙緊握目標小腿，將義肢力量開到極限，但奈米皮膚依舊堅不可破。紳士單腳跳到門邊，奸笑著把重心壓在敗降身上，準備享受她的絕望哀號。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOivNbW6JzE
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74E1nLVBeI
殊不知，她沒有求饒，反而揚起嘴角。當紳士把視線移到椿的右手時，緊急逃生拉桿正好被她壓下。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkrqrfhX5l
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2yKHsjLvv
咚！335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r6fwGSvGk
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT13RLsZVm
艙門噴向路面、立刻被彈到遠方。女刺客整個上身掉出車外，全靠兩腳勾住座椅滑軌，後腦杓只差半公分就會被柏油磨平。黑幫頭目跟她相反，整個下盤飄到半空，幸虧及時伸手攀住車框，他才能留在原處。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUecOrmm1rL
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKtXgYwTc8
風聲摧殘耳膜，兩人不約而同地嘶吼。椿繃緊腹肌、用金屬左腕敲擊地面，在散亂火花中翻進車廂；紳士也像鐘擺一樣盪了回去，轉身擋在敞開的側門上，相信自己總是能化險為夷。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb0xwUWo2m

女刺客背對目標側坐著。鼻青臉腫、血跡斑斑，卻能不失優雅地收腿、坐立、捧起傘身，再輕輕環抱男人的肩膀。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVRAmyB32O

連接傘柄的銀絲閃爍，老爺發覺不妙時已經太晚。捆住脖子的奪命繩索將他拉出座艙，再把整個身體帶入高速旋轉的扇葉。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3bYuSTmMY

要不是遠方壁面依稀可見，廣闊農田看起來根本不像地底設施。椿攤在椅背上，用後照鏡隨便梳理，等禮車慢慢停進公用庫房，再脫掉高跟鞋跨出敞開的側門，不甘願地讓收費機台掃描卡片。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcAPkfej6G

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKA2XZSXXK
「約翰！孩子啊，去雜貨店拿個東西好嗎？」白髮快比黑髮多的老農抬著大包藻胚經過，拜託下一任總管跑腿。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7MCEBodRx
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnmlnRJM88

自動耕耘機差不多壞光了，約好要來維修的和平重工一拖再拖，現在又音訊全無，害他必須親手照顧整片「濾氣藻田」。累，但沒辦法，因為留下來的壯年寥寥無幾，他這一代甚至連位女孩都沒有。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajmn6kh2F6

帝國分裂前，約翰就很少來做禮拜。小時候跟著父母讚頌皇帝時，他也只對接通天頂的電波塔有興趣。然而，就跟其它日漸衰退的事物一樣，那個收發裝置早就壞了，只會播放一些莫名訊息。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACU8W7dD7N
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI4WoICge7
虔誠不能填飽肚子。拿完貨，約翰直接往教堂另一邊的酒館走去。農場中唯一可能產生變化的，大概只有這間販賣「赤藻酒」的地方。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqeIrJ407l
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLyxKs6UMD
刻意還原舊時代西部風格的商店街，也是為了那個觀光特產存在。從太陽系各處前來品香的陌生人能為當地增添收入，也能帶來不少外界刺激。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkYB4h7hL3

椿一屁股坐下來發牢騷。圓盤客只是微微點頭，從面具底部伸出吸管、探進杯中。它腳邊的鐵箱嗡嗡作響，散發著某種野生氣息，大概只有歷劫歸來的女殺手敢靠近。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwGASieXyg

年輕農夫將瓶口放在杯子斜上方，而非垂直位置。受到特里頓自轉速率影響，直線運動的物體都會產生一定程度偏斜。果真，酒水很神奇地往斜下方劃出弧線，「又偏又倚」地落入杯中，讓老羅嘖嘖稱奇。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGTzMvXpaW

「你來蹭飯之前她獨奏清爽多啦！」老羅一如往常地起鬨。女孩尷尬地笑著，妖精般的尖耳稍稍發紅。她常被問那個耳朵是去哪改的，但始終沒有答案。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFZvEzeVCI

琴笛奏響，與詩詞交疊和鳴，觸動了所有沉寂的心。椿跟隔壁桌一起舉杯歡笑，拍打圓盤客的肩膀示好。突然，咕嚕聲傳出腹部，饑餓感讓她不禁下巴著地。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ69LptjgSA

稀有的天然香氣，讓椿忍不住舔了過去，「好甜……這是什麼？還有嗎？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCptjjk6ocj
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTzQ4tDvXM
只見圓盤左右晃動，芳醇甘露就被收回指中。椿發現怪人盔甲上的H-Ⅱ字樣，想要詢問更多，就被吵著拍照的團體擠到一邊。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpwXR86383
