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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4N8W29Sss
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbqAurcZEH
不會回來了吧？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7wvVYLgJv
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw60HuGPCQ1
從村人們的交談中，丁不得不接受這樣的事實。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBGzNF9xQH
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRmU6BOkGo
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6UtPk5g1u
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MhQerX1rp
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjP6v417fy
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbB2FDEQBV
不知不覺，他似乎已經很久沒有笑過了。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpj6vr3ETj
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxa0EbmR32
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSriXRYIay
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP35rs87Yha
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDendipVi0G
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nEodOTj9G
只是有時看著這東西會覺得他還能繼續努力下去。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRqiZCJShG
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5pYDMkYIg
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM1WJTODba
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHWs9RUSqY
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXhiqGE2Ha
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeghZxmhztr
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAU2ETjlmc
「還不下雨…！獻上活祭品吧！」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk96uww8V6
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVAp8P6rVQ
某日夜晚，在丁進入夢鄉前，他隱約聽到如此的聲音。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyTmeuj6LU
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbuvZOXLEI
啊啊，活祭品，是指活生生被獻給神明的動物嗎？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpHXRpTufv
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOQSvzMHhv
「我不要當祭品。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRDSFFW0p6
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcBIUhi7Um
嗯？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0d0kcd3Zv
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCVQDUUEUq
「我也不要。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmxwNbbThy
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RArPmyOGS
不是用動物嗎？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a5F01hSKB
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQenNixSss
「丁呢？」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl32a7ZfV3
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWZCqQqOlS
！77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEeYklZWlK
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblSCKkfEaV
「對了，還有丁吶。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpGtoWCVnd
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmUYS9Smcz
我要被交給神明？在祭壇上活生生地被殺死嗎？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7MnNas6fc
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBZkHNNQWq
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？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UgVEbeNLJ
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx6WdXemKl
……回收屍體的時候，這東西會被看到的。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD1RXtnCVj
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcrqcVAOD4
聽著聲音漸弱，等到火光熄滅，丁坐起身，輕巧的離開床舖。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvzf3sRjFw
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFwXzLYWi0
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJq7Y3fQ09
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3JvGGcmVt
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GRM8pv5RK
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz07N8sgQo
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG25z1Gtv5K
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vCXSj6RtR
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QFSzzK0i0
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhWOE4EIxO
將樹枝插在樹洞前的土壤，丁的嘴角微微上揚。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLNMnnK3DS
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ59IYSI6L
感謝你小時候的照顧。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCck9IrZUg
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQQIgprGUC
默念著，丁將一直珍藏的寶物纏繞在樹枝上頭。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX5J9gjoYE
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xA7ePP4uP
大概明天，我就會被告知這件事了。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kK9SiVBxc
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bmHvlXNCo
我，一直都......77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg4LkXSTiw
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY3MvwArFG
嗤笑自己的情感，丁勾起嘴角，然後站起身。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FMoxLtGJz
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WzIIrsCII
永別了，以後就再也見不到面了。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTA6QtW7zM
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtavLWKRgae
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf1KY7185U
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZymEoPdrCJ
以後就真的，可以不用再抱著希望，一日復一日的等下去了。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcqaMMbJpD
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07p92D1LWk
抹殺掉自己心中那份期待，丁冷靜地想著。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9OmcXfzme
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX4ESTyY4C
近十年都不曾出現過的人，是不可能在最後一刻出現的。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvnIv0DQYH
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmYptdSFAP
這樣就好，這樣就可以了。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v8yC2J8uj
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2xamo7bhj
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6QxOdYKKN
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad8MDN2Gv1
他不想要再一次的抱著希望，因此他只能自己去接受絕望。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk1vkeEBUB
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAYvl0YTtM
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……77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhkNk7MOid
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeb5dq5Z58
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRJKzKMwnK
「丁，你起床了嗎？」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ882EtjZ9jR
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcbgAGuSHv
「……是。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYSCjudtZH
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScuUgrAzBX
「我們有些話想跟你說。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uKWaBYNA9
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNbTwVTHFz
不是一個人，就算想逃也逃不掉，對吧？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8K3LPZbl5
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSZ18eBMBh
丁在心裡想著，一邊聆聽村長那一長串的理由，然後點頭。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tVPR7U4ZC
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMJq9GvSN6
「我願意。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdNGbkhowZ
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xPC3uIhrf
然後在眾人鬆了一口氣的情況下，被包圍著前往祭場。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV37Zy2Zvx
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkgg0rggy7
「換上這個。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde2JJItmaz
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOwBFigQ0W
「戴上這個。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzEozmTbr8
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGD2uAHAx0
「還有這個。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8H8DyRn17
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC5ZcMvymI
「喂，把那個拿來。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP7mkuzx6p
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz4eC5ytoF
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyxPKrN21p
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwoN08FpBw
「不要恨我啊，丁。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlAni8yvaK
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9RcE0UrQn
村長說著，也朝著他的方向拜了一拜。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFAMF3kdKf
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoigj0wjikq
「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。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh12OBAJELv
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7BADTiAhU
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPke82HAxyA
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwkC6KMExz
而村人們你看看我、我看看你，便在陸續道謝後離開了祭壇。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCO2GRAiry
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwcy462r2C
「…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……」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AX7V1sOa4
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rKxz049iN
丁小聲的碎念，像是要告訴自己，也像是在偷偷的警告村人。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vLDcaD9bc
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DySsfFSv5
「永別了，請多保重。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJHQNPLdqg
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNbezUy4j7
如果沒有黃泉存在的話。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDn0p179bU
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyz7rlWHUq
丁維持著端正的姿勢，直到確認村人們走遠。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsmVfE4EXK
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrYAiGitwj
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？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphzH89YHo0
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbsRnp7A4R
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFBwGkE8bR
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBIG1m3NYb
為什麼，為什麼沒有來接我？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYxc9T94OF
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpkh5SSCq7
因為我忘了你叫我的名字？還是我忘了你的樣子？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FORKE5qec
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxVD20BAdU
你真的，拋棄了我嗎？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcbQFCN2c6
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljomc6bkt1
再也，見不到面了。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGZ3IQZ7mX
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzpo8PMGqZ
永遠。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3YVByL6oK
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZCrO2bvSM
完全放下希望，原來是那麼難受的事嗎？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjHYmlYeSK
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6KiWMJrSQ
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO2yI4zTyT
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc52Y0GSgDp
說不定，再多等幾天他就會出現了啊！77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSwJUTlx8t
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFhjJPLx1a
悲憤交加，周圍丁看不到的鬼火逐漸被他的恨意吸引過來。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxKrgTDSB2
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjjzCU66DP
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIhdSDH02Y
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUkzd7h5q0
是鬼喔。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFItw2eMtWl
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVkzVwrCU4
腦海裡有個聲音說著。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtQFHPacBR
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Kn6yvyUPR
因為跟鬼火結合，你以後就是鬼了。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1g0Xv2Dxl
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46oDaztAuM
跟神明完全無緣的詞彙。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05j9BznfSw
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadhNHgIvWx
是鬼的話，就可以去到黃泉狠狠的懲戒那些人了吧？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBu9aI2poE
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblINbu8w28
從祭壇上坐起身，丁張開眼睛。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmMs4bIY8v
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpucnD2QArO
我是鬼，就算真的有神明他也不會想要這樣的祭品的。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3aWSIic2P
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2csxYG6n4a
然後離開祭壇。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1o1a4FW0y
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkLM1ikLVw
就連那個人，也不會要我吧？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssxAwNUyAB

77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qHkC9U568
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls4iiCm9eo
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRspUkgrUT
因為，我已經不是人了。
