經過了幾年時間，丁開始習慣工作，習慣看別人的臉色過日子，習慣沒有白澤的日子。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBGyOys23g
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuFFnMJMw0
不會回來了吧？48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB7oNTHwzx
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCm3xAsE3G
從村人們的交談中，丁不得不接受這樣的事實。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3dz7bpOYJ
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4feOHrRrR
在覺悟的那天蒙頭大哭了一夜，接下來他就怎麼也流不出淚來，投身於忙碌的工作當中。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMpvLmhSN8
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptXkneOP5j
他可以在忙碌中忘了許多事，忘了他過去的名字，忘了他小時候親暱叫著的名字，忘了他曾經那樣幸福的活在另一個人的寵溺中，甚至忘了該怎麼笑。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN4w2CuNue
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ7hD3jebm
不知不覺，他似乎已經很久沒有笑過了。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkdZS6aWtd
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85ROa8VRvM
他伸手摸上自己變得下垂的嘴角，然後在四顧無人後拿出白澤唯一遺留下的物品。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfSR0etb9u
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhce5p2SaaH
黃色的金屬雕刻著他不了解的紋路，鮮紅的繩結綁成他無法理解的構造，他唯一記得的似乎只剩下如夢般朦朧的甜美回憶及這東西不能被其他人得手的念頭。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL2uh4Iqzh
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zWHLPc32p
只是有時看著這東西會覺得他還能繼續努力下去。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuktuYw0Vw
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt6sGuU5vM
或許他心底還是期待著的吧？期待那個被自己淡忘的人能夠前來迎接自己。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusqu3vQoLr
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjEPwYDi5G
嘲笑著自己那無謂的心情，丁將紅繩重新藏回懷中，然後繼續投身彷彿無止無盡的工作。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cLwunTIXw
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TL6erWmD3
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebJk0UBM1B
「還不下雨…！獻上活祭品吧！」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w5vbioiJ9
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPtZQs0KC4
某日夜晚，在丁進入夢鄉前，他隱約聽到如此的聲音。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17EEnUgyyL
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpu5AlJARv
啊啊，活祭品，是指活生生被獻給神明的動物嗎？48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirSSC4VWj8
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3fiKZrUvN
「我不要當祭品。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG9W8qzFQh
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlinm1hbvk
嗯？48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd8mzELvq4
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHV9mapb27
「我也不要。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhvXZQBjUg
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosignmYROJ
不是用動物嗎？48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri9oMU6L4d
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg0fHFAXGK
「丁呢？」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekuWfJ7Clw
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4cuBw6cg9
！48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA93X4GdqMG
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJccWqJU8Sd
「對了，還有丁吶。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bzdPHmxYq
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC5BtKPQjz
我要被交給神明？在祭壇上活生生地被殺死嗎？48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc32tzrxcn
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nmnjAhRf5
不，這個村裡的人應該不至於這麼做，頂多把我放在那裏直到餓死吧？48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPK0qbC3r5
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY7RRE2wJ0
……回收屍體的時候，這東西會被看到的。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXVb9EoTIp
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqj49YqwxX
聽著聲音漸弱，等到火光熄滅，丁坐起身，輕巧的離開床舖。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9Pt2kplHd
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbe6l8B0jV
吃了他們那麼多年的飯，讓我回報這條命是無所謂，但是，只有這個絕不讓給任何人。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N4OX0VjJm
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAI4nxCb43
順著月光及星光，從小生長在野外的丁熟悉的行走於黑暗之間，終於在深夜走到了距離村莊不算遠卻足夠隱密的，他以前的家。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaaQAP9Mb2
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6MXR8BiCm
當他以前很累很累的時候，就會偷偷跑來這裡，緬懷著已經不記得的那個人。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFRflmfWoO
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y2xa2oS8l
丁面無表情地想著，坐在樹洞外，手上拿著一根沒有很纖細的樹枝。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzm8OcVJxU
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIPszPxn0Z
將樹枝插在樹洞前的土壤，丁的嘴角微微上揚。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzktFNKXyLv
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6SaJ2XQrs
感謝你小時候的照顧。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsisxhVMYS
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOSFoteeMW
默念著，丁將一直珍藏的寶物纏繞在樹枝上頭。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBlBtR7lek
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo1LmKG3gp
大概明天，我就會被告知這件事了。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHarYXY9ezT
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8IXp2btQ8
我，一直都......48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCm6YDZnYS
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf3W7s7XmW
嗤笑自己的情感，丁勾起嘴角，然後站起身。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS5DO69qZ5
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eOW1Tn7Ly
永別了，以後就再也見不到面了。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8A54hn5xY
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNa5CVXAaI
想著，丁覺得眼睛有些酸澀，揉揉眼，他還是踏著步伐回到村落。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu7KvA9Prv
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n8H6JFP5B
以後就真的，可以不用再抱著希望，一日復一日的等下去了。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp92RVJwyWF
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8Uk6wMXgc
抹殺掉自己心中那份期待，丁冷靜地想著。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb864MGVfO
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBJqNLv6ns
近十年都不曾出現過的人，是不可能在最後一刻出現的。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamDpJCcqe1
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWz8hdOX9a
這樣就好，這樣就可以了。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo7hRJ4ATR
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIfxVqD92L
難得的度過不是一覺到天亮的夜晚，丁這夜幾乎沒睡，就算意識模糊也會立刻夢到那些充滿希望的夢境而驚醒。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaas4kpt0fR
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgnDcXtozG
他不想要再一次的抱著希望，因此他只能自己去接受絕望。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g4p3LWyvj
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15lYjisfEG
為了這些村民，為了這些養活自己的村民，為了這些奴役自己的村民……48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8e5gCoUPn
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizklzNJL5M
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfTvsyKZs8
「丁，你起床了嗎？」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGeMKPPfvI
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN5vGNEUG4
「……是。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLsVkKwu05
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvZCNMFMdq
「我們有些話想跟你說。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWRa27dewI
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiqvLAuh2C
不是一個人，就算想逃也逃不掉，對吧？48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hh6QIgfZc
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdeBfZfzax
丁在心裡想著，一邊聆聽村長那一長串的理由，然後點頭。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEE0i8OgiN
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc7eZd2BZS
「我願意。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZDC53yYqn
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacYL9L8vAb
然後在眾人鬆了一口氣的情況下，被包圍著前往祭場。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6oiNiofaj
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6oJixHYEx
「換上這個。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf2EqyCRSd
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkbPoliwBc
「戴上這個。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vz58w1Aer
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTuWqB6gbZ
「還有這個。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUojjuKjNY
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh7ZzQUbXU
「喂，把那個拿來。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ggdrgCWzr
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDcigK1SBy
七手八腳地趕在夜晚前把東西弄好，丁端坐在祭壇上，依照村長的說法雙手合十，等待神明的降臨。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquBMgJvly0
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAq9TJmfyY
「不要恨我啊，丁。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rTtKZ5Wzw
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk7mITmTTg
村長說著，也朝著他的方向拜了一拜。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHFEbmLcX3
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYadVcwOeE1
「沒事的，如今的時代只有這個方法可以穩定人心，我不會怨恨的。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZKH8HPAZd
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawz702Wwld
沒有看向任何人，丁把視線放在山的某處，他猜想應該是他過去居住的地方。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMh7YOwl2R
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnQWj0taYW
而村人們你看看我、我看看你，便在陸續道謝後離開了祭壇。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybFT0ZWF8v
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdXJpVFybU
「…若是有黃泉這種東西，我一定要讓村裡的人嚐嚐死後被我制裁的滋味……」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIIf4o1J99
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL04ywvhYr
丁小聲的碎念，像是要告訴自己，也像是在偷偷的警告村人。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWCV5YMj4P
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEv0cwCGK3
「永別了，請多保重。」48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamrDbAN1DW
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOASZChJPb
如果沒有黃泉存在的話。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwl41QJmfY
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsupkNiBByr
丁維持著端正的姿勢，直到確認村人們走遠。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3PTSqfuyb
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKbu3VLd7F
神明長什麼樣子呢？真的會有神明嗎？真的是神明嗎？真的有神嗎？48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qeL1CMzcn
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuKYvBe8zc
經過一整天的空腹洗禮，丁已經感覺不到餓意，喝了放在祭壇上的酒後便臥倒在祭壇上。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTavX9oN3mF
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgspzVvcegu
為什麼，為什麼沒有來接我？48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLOWFNkk9W
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkAWrSISOm
因為我忘了你叫我的名字？還是我忘了你的樣子？48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEcnjzJFNL
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhETS3DjUTx
你真的，拋棄了我嗎？48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbiNQZUnwI
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw9DUt9Uqt
再也，見不到面了。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bsYJOPTvx
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEfSm4aGsH
永遠。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h62ygA1Ow
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrYeAb1OlG
完全放下希望，原來是那麼難受的事嗎？48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UCnQJ2RhC
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6rlCgM0Zf
乾澀的眼睛流出淚來，看著天上閃閃的繁星，丁又狠狠地把村子的人詛咒了一遍。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhYB9nreyS
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w4DWF0hr3
說不定，再多等幾天他就會出現了啊！48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX6c8QSGQR
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9omRwX0LJx
悲憤交加，周圍丁看不到的鬼火逐漸被他的恨意吸引過來。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCRYyYv5bV
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw6040pDiI
感覺被風吹的冰冷的身體瞬間像燒起來一般灼熱，丁在瞬間以為是神明的到來。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEZdJepXSF
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNJuhUpGd9
是鬼喔。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPfA743iTn
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb9i6OZsFT
腦海裡有個聲音說著。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxHw4W1X4k
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf0rTPh6wb
因為跟鬼火結合，你以後就是鬼了。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpmTjYoSv0
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGj7CJgnKO
跟神明完全無緣的詞彙。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6fI6DC7ik
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUFWZXd26w
是鬼的話，就可以去到黃泉狠狠的懲戒那些人了吧？48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCTmYhSRfB
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorshvC6Qtm
從祭壇上坐起身，丁張開眼睛。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXelbcX8ffe
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy6gt2YdJ2
我是鬼，就算真的有神明他也不會想要這樣的祭品的。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdhQl8o57Q
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJLEE9PhO9
然後離開祭壇。48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63OVTsn6QL
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN5iIku0wf
就連那個人，也不會要我吧？48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN3wLU3bZ8
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xzekXZ1aN
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4MPuX0UKk
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8RbLe5tLa
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR51oC64qSk
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn0iA9snxX
因為，我已經不是人了。
