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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhemEWKIrhl
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB8ORxuJ3E
不會回來了吧？78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcP4btVxLW
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJVi4yqFKm
從村人們的交談中，丁不得不接受這樣的事實。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYvpQLq8wP
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnk2XoUPGg
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aORyuTLWs
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H4hRUucIb
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC4qH6kICP
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxxySWUUR3
不知不覺，他似乎已經很久沒有笑過了。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1kssXWOjy
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD4HmzaLvF
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwYXHgSx3z
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRw15mKNbu
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyVaYU4Amj
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJk8aexxdH
只是有時看著這東西會覺得他還能繼續努力下去。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoimnAl3f7
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xyJ7RAgJ3
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2cxeKaqrx
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y563SmoyP
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuAU6DerMG

「還不下雨…！獻上活祭品吧！」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfghajx1NjQ
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRaes7ZGXN
某日夜晚，在丁進入夢鄉前，他隱約聽到如此的聲音。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7Pd6Rd0bH
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF1sUiPE3j
啊啊，活祭品，是指活生生被獻給神明的動物嗎？78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasUK3D1zSa
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJVxfguLpa
「我不要當祭品。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscJ1sGLGGg
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOMJzEPeuu
嗯？78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4DklK0C31
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PVGdv6niF
「我也不要。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHdBDgmqkc
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJijb7sUJUV
不是用動物嗎？78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nAxCiu0VL
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj3zCywGP5
「丁呢？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu6LeaT1Zf
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIuZ3tMHhZ
！78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxHV7HJplM
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ji2vAEmHM
「對了，還有丁吶。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxBoNc5NbG
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlasjylRMp
我要被交給神明？在祭壇上活生生地被殺死嗎？78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkBq8qzFsx
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MIt81qpNe
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？78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIyDZpDFW7
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaq5M8q5jZ
……回收屍體的時候，這東西會被看到的。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbwb3XckmD
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWR845JS3u
聽著聲音漸弱，等到火光熄滅，丁坐起身，輕巧的離開床舖。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpYUzyAFaD
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrykXlqCJNZ
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczK10xUWfJ
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM30dHaN0N
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0nCjwJWMe
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufBsGWafHe
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJPBFnZuJa
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qtUUkifDe
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2O3Td3ibv
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38MN1YGhDK
將樹枝插在樹洞前的土壤，丁的嘴角微微上揚。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKjoRn2SKw
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cagModUkv
感謝你小時候的照顧。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBif4cp2aE
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNaUzPwNog
默念著，丁將一直珍藏的寶物纏繞在樹枝上頭。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHypKW02VP
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT88eHeQc5
大概明天，我就會被告知這件事了。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ff5EqckFg
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WRG64bYO6
我，一直都......78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFA5EzT2su
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqOeofE3I1
嗤笑自己的情感，丁勾起嘴角，然後站起身。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhwLSazVz1
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvqgiNsGJO
永別了，以後就再也見不到面了。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CxwDrBxDJ
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5YuoqOHFC
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTHFS5I8a3
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oAZfFe7IW
以後就真的，可以不用再抱著希望，一日復一日的等下去了。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSNKedE3qd
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV6v3MZ4Sr
抹殺掉自己心中那份期待，丁冷靜地想著。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaULeOdlSj
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8Wwmc4D5E
近十年都不曾出現過的人，是不可能在最後一刻出現的。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3d1kNoMDi
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ2X8JfAHo
這樣就好，這樣就可以了。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet6SmJt22x
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtRiXNy18i
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRUoOSaIWd
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoK1Sr9itL
他不想要再一次的抱著希望，因此他只能自己去接受絕望。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sACs89UjM
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhYadfTztM
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……78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH7SFdlo6o
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLelUXVXdC
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGpvfLKP8M
「丁，你起床了嗎？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bjf5vqk1n
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq8iiJfW4J
「……是。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCqnj5bWC1
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFCsg6DInU
「我們有些話想跟你說。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO0a3kXW32
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uW0AvsJmn
不是一個人，就算想逃也逃不掉，對吧？78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx01XVu0E7o
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCSm4rl5Zl
丁在心裡想著，一邊聆聽村長那一長串的理由，然後點頭。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87vcFsDdHu
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7pCBqeF8G
「我願意。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy4VGOkv87
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMnu0NWUNk
然後在眾人鬆了一口氣的情況下，被包圍著前往祭場。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZQucA08nv
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11bBraSAkf
「換上這個。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkdJ9cYknH
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6VJEwGzo8
「戴上這個。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVyq6hLz1E
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjF152TiX9
「還有這個。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhgDjgIyVk
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0KWNJz4ar
「喂，把那個拿來。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwgzK9ypZd
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGOG4g3MAY
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4QwJ3Usb4
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLNNCecpiY
「不要恨我啊，丁。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQnAtPDuXr
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF8zROcHnG
村長說著，也朝著他的方向拜了一拜。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc36ZYgOSZH
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C8JOGDxdq
「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。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB9E9oiWbY
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvbAnboOG8
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MAP8r8Ab9
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYlVXD7dUc
而村人們你看看我、我看看你，便在陸續道謝後離開了祭壇。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsAmMYdYQy
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FKWKNWHir
「…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……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrQeD32q0y
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0EhiTEiFK
丁小聲的碎念，像是要告訴自己，也像是在偷偷的警告村人。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtuNOeqYln
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO2rA23Cs6
「永別了，請多保重。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMKsMDcQGA
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1GzEr9vCA
如果沒有黃泉存在的話。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxOrwFeUUT
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku6fAWLGac
丁維持著端正的姿勢，直到確認村人們走遠。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBK6sdgYzS
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6v7uS4jsN
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？78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtGbPFtmOI
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn1ArThPmp
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIhFZYhGua
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKcPCyy9ou
為什麼，為什麼沒有來接我？78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0xeEmvwe9
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO0lCR3x6T
因為我忘了你叫我的名字？還是我忘了你的樣子？78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqMvxzZHKU
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDxHAGU0Xl
你真的，拋棄了我嗎？78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1hm9ZU2UA
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZDe0c4mw8
再也，見不到面了。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTZeM25isG
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAtFbBLLCw
永遠。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLHCrYrwXf
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAzG9sPgvq
完全放下希望，原來是那麼難受的事嗎？78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99fniTDnub
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8jYZVedBS
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VIkal5QME
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXzyNg8ihr
說不定，再多等幾天他就會出現了啊！78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXgwzomeu3
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCeEyhiJ9W
悲憤交加，周圍丁看不到的鬼火逐漸被他的恨意吸引過來。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEZVKV0kma
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yQMTpdDCg
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。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbVKlS4gVS
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfibH5h8bqH
是鬼喔。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R13h3000v
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMqHJMz9e2
腦海裡有個聲音說著。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhioN78569
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e3fUQXXYC
因為跟鬼火結合，你以後就是鬼了。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbex1jkLOIU
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEbMAsAgAE
跟神明完全無緣的詞彙。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vI29vfZqd
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvY1OZGRq5
是鬼的話，就可以去到黃泉狠狠的懲戒那些人了吧？78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxte5Q1cERe
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XbexPTS7P
從祭壇上坐起身，丁張開眼睛。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWV93tX6aW
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNAN4JsM0a
我是鬼，就算真的有神明他也不會想要這樣的祭品的。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBKesIJrzv
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwuhCkw8EB
然後離開祭壇。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSq19ZrLyU
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv5Wx9I8fL
就連那個人，也不會要我吧？78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzvahQI0pM
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp7s0e1iOx
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfqlLGoC6t
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVdd2h3bof
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEYMs0C2aE
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrJbmR0boB
因為，我已經不是人了。
