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。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOsRovQLkt
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG6U7Y8Nha
不會回來了吧？83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sNRCd97o9
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO6d4cFQLY
從村人們的交談中，丁不得不接受這樣的事實。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HLRCXwYoP
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV6D92hGZh
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。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdx87s84zE
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0klH0akVXX
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。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHJoegSrDv
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5WChwYBnu
不知不覺，他似乎已經很久沒有笑過了。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfLPA2DF0W
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov9zp9WVV0
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。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPH325Oljc
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxswT7KUHM
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。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g7X4Coi3S
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh5gMTB9bP
只是有時看著這東西會覺得他還能繼續努力下去。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcThJ5Btvy
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLeN5Qxpcw
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。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9JikgrNZo
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFkVxD7S3J
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。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLXdFfsb3g
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByGSwrlfUC
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqEPjKqV3G
「還不下雨…！獻上活祭品吧！」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgdNhdy63X
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAqwMeopr3
某日夜晚，在丁進入夢鄉前，他隱約聽到如此的聲音。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVawmrvfU6B
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujXpNJfeMY
啊啊，活祭品，是指活生生被獻給神明的動物嗎？83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgICu0FFToK
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtze8OZIIbU
「我不要當祭品。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDiKHDep7s
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrhhSKD3KD
嗯？83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2s6OtpVly
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFFwaAry0Y
「我也不要。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhrU2U7IeN
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNwrOdp21h
不是用動物嗎？83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVRu6ZMlUk
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBJTsItKRZ
「丁呢？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QW8oBDzF4
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhUczB8uqc
！83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbe2XllqJJ
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QTwQcY8Wu
「對了，還有丁吶。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHDqwoDQXn
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KKr3SObIi
我要被交給神明？在祭壇上活生生地被殺死嗎？83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU6gemfRcP
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDHw1KYPEG
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？83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZDe2ecF9y
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5J8FFFsYp
……回收屍體的時候，這東西會被看到的。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf8lZuRcjG
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1iZk08Z4p
聽著聲音漸弱，等到火光熄滅，丁坐起身，輕巧的離開床舖。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9BEUzQyC7
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnegVFC2B0
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。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmHA9vA9qj
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfztLnsR4Q8
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。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmyKoWpIkr
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvcjkT33Me
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。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03tFINEflJ
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGnaxX5beM
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。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6aTp5lPoY
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwPDzXZX07
將樹枝插在樹洞前的土壤，丁的嘴角微微上揚。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1onDqoIwK
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3Sj69HOCo
感謝你小時候的照顧。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKEA0Aa1yp
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BtyU0AxbI
默念著，丁將一直珍藏的寶物纏繞在樹枝上頭。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X4RspNmVf
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzIRHZa2jD
大概明天，我就會被告知這件事了。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2HyluMvu4
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EMoLWU7P8
我，一直都......83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mzTdWIClw
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JoqyO3yYF
嗤笑自己的情感，丁勾起嘴角，然後站起身。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV19ypiYZgv
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKOeh4Wtdq
永別了，以後就再也見不到面了。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxS9bOanZh
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHp4E8TQcD
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。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODna0sYeR2
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZwtj3JE1Y
以後就真的，可以不用再抱著希望，一日復一日的等下去了。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDArgq0GKS
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6SGAjAiIl
抹殺掉自己心中那份期待，丁冷靜地想著。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqwGTLLkcc
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG8yVta2wY
近十年都不曾出現過的人，是不可能在最後一刻出現的。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkYRJw7Nz9
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FjcsWe342
這樣就好，這樣就可以了。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJrc3iNlbs
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXh0Y2MAXK
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。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSUjPt59IG
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsahcmbS4Jg
他不想要再一次的抱著希望，因此他只能自己去接受絕望。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg4hnEfinj
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4iAJluzEg
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……83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEXfkDGH20
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOt2MMAu4Y
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyS4gGzbTH
「丁，你起床了嗎？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRxrLO2hj8
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOItmtstERB
「……是。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzC8eeupUe
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfGvgaofBq
「我們有些話想跟你說。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1agc1XTsV
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoTJlgB0H0
不是一個人，就算想逃也逃不掉，對吧？83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStULcwgZQj
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdnuZq3bn8
丁在心裡想著，一邊聆聽村長那一長串的理由，然後點頭。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOEnThX9R1
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehzgHUAjQL
「我願意。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt01UoTL9GD
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdltb7QtV1
然後在眾人鬆了一口氣的情況下，被包圍著前往祭場。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujm0YfVrgp
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem9zyiFF7J
「換上這個。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwekat62U1D
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LQtKiASRc
「戴上這個。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaySwt7Bxk
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8WKyaRsgq
「還有這個。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafaTM5QtZp
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FtL4lwMyb
「喂，把那個拿來。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3nLLstDPA
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfcEViNQrZ
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。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05Yyc4PeSW
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR3D2MwEJP
「不要恨我啊，丁。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCuTD3HVKm
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUOJ1WPCM0
村長說著，也朝著他的方向拜了一拜。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh9YrOl7JM
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZnPVJRe7N
「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。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ8lCaVIpk
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpYhJ5g1YB
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。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaiFkt6GMc
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5jY6pepbe
而村人們你看看我、我看看你，便在陸續道謝後離開了祭壇。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2cW06oN57
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgqloTJcxO
「…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……」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1inz6chY6
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunBk4OqTl3
丁小聲的碎念，像是要告訴自己，也像是在偷偷的警告村人。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrs1CAPfob
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesQoySBZtc
「永別了，請多保重。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCyrFDU8Oo
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkp8vrojui
如果沒有黃泉存在的話。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuZlCHvjH4
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybdB1h6CFs
丁維持著端正的姿勢，直到確認村人們走遠。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGtMDxzjyf
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9QD6Hn29C
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？83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXRgeCSuxM
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzHuLhyHEp
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。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvocTqg4nI
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRnyZ9FsRt
為什麼，為什麼沒有來接我？83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrsTGE9ARj
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRufDLF3Hfz
因為我忘了你叫我的名字？還是我忘了你的樣子？83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq3Ybvzlp5
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9QcDZxYDI
你真的，拋棄了我嗎？83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMIaZScYh2
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKozl8XnIz
再也，見不到面了。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwAGKvKSZx
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbeg52c0hJ
永遠。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioRvSmHV2U
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVTBBebinY
完全放下希望，原來是那麼難受的事嗎？83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi1tgAiibZ
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk2xoYVB68
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。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UKJunDJaD
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQIIpXbgC6
說不定，再多等幾天他就會出現了啊！83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48j2TQSx2W
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhum0t4s85
悲憤交加，周圍丁看不到的鬼火逐漸被他的恨意吸引過來。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9few86PggJ
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwSEhXCvEt
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。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDZOtuMzkr
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EegPeQNEe
是鬼喔。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsYLvQJ5q8
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbRekFTCA1
腦海裡有個聲音說著。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c83iNeZ83
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0VgCPkeKG
因為跟鬼火結合，你以後就是鬼了。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDojSBszwR
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzvbLtlueU
跟神明完全無緣的詞彙。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA1WIU8pW0
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FVrZFKdFt
是鬼的話，就可以去到黃泉狠狠的懲戒那些人了吧？83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS5aTlGtVz
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAXAhSSYbF
從祭壇上坐起身，丁張開眼睛。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScafPKeqHG
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQyZGu0ZzU
我是鬼，就算真的有神明他也不會想要這樣的祭品的。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX7eU91hWr
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto1ryKYCmk
然後離開祭壇。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFejgwijyM
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAcaEHYINd
就連那個人，也不會要我吧？83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUer0cl7zF5
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ692shFaIKm
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg4jfTAi0l
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0ckOknlep
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQmnagNdxt
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqY77fkEwK
因為，我已經不是人了。
