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。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMMApuq1wg
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2uImRzrh7
不會回來了吧？73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHO5t8nHDr
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyc0wO2BYA
從村人們的交談中，丁不得不接受這樣的事實。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqnsIVLyVE
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBgwCTk9NS
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。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZBZVi3B2y
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboBZ3Ezfj0
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。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK6KRhJE2N
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzccDSiiyaO
不知不覺，他似乎已經很久沒有笑過了。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4y1hGoocB
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u9EK4gjMX
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。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ScCJ7oHKy
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglNbMAh5a7
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。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV980qWKyAv
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFm8azxqaT
只是有時看著這東西會覺得他還能繼續努力下去。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9Bn9ymtb3
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8EJsqsdEN
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。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c9aEmUdVH
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNm5KCcx8g
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。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4fDW8JXJg
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUP9z7n4bC
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B88DL4G5T
「還不下雨…！獻上活祭品吧！」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiAtgnGM5K
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOVuqa8f9F
某日夜晚，在丁進入夢鄉前，他隱約聽到如此的聲音。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdXSDKkFb0
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70bb3rbazl
啊啊，活祭品，是指活生生被獻給神明的動物嗎？73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1jOKHzT3D
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBkkpdwuiP
「我不要當祭品。」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5RknRYjNq
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUdHEE4UMa
嗯？73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2mMmKjcAu
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMUH8cbvnU
「我也不要。」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3wAcOYR5p
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yTikeZxHI
不是用動物嗎？73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yZc4H4snb
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHt3Ail2hx
「丁呢？」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtWTzkluA7
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZrsxNHw98
！73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKDfnnweiu
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaryc9wdKD
「對了，還有丁吶。」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzorK77NSy
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrSkWNTysw
我要被交給神明？在祭壇上活生生地被殺死嗎？73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HMw2PzA9P
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQeiTILI9R
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？73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKGJunrw42
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7uToHhNMH
……回收屍體的時候，這東西會被看到的。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDr1Tcy178
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMMZ10NUKD
聽著聲音漸弱，等到火光熄滅，丁坐起身，輕巧的離開床舖。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIitNe75uZo
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXiKAQAfyD
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。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUygaMpJ9d
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVuySeKb91
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。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrO5yemql6
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6LiuIQWWN
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。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqdXE2CBOr
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV2dwglmQO
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。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr20WjxBQL
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3gWAOoBKD
將樹枝插在樹洞前的土壤，丁的嘴角微微上揚。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGpjVwA4mm
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3crP8qJoc
感謝你小時候的照顧。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoZqwPfL7P
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNOp4uxi6A
默念著，丁將一直珍藏的寶物纏繞在樹枝上頭。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY8s9NJOIA
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmdXZrveHB
大概明天，我就會被告知這件事了。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlos1Kxomu4
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjSp6f3f9O
我，一直都......73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlA8sYhUKD
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ7w2wGfJs
嗤笑自己的情感，丁勾起嘴角，然後站起身。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcjCSzyDjb
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJlJ7WhCYd
永別了，以後就再也見不到面了。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w6lnuIwkO
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpLwJLI1BZ
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。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VNpzEq5ic
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6DSrYNCkU
以後就真的，可以不用再抱著希望，一日復一日的等下去了。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ5wh5zLjU
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiuwRellPi
抹殺掉自己心中那份期待，丁冷靜地想著。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp4Ztj92Sw
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoES8XDKCa
近十年都不曾出現過的人，是不可能在最後一刻出現的。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24CEgMNu1u
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorUIBmpGSo
這樣就好，這樣就可以了。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkgMqucnPE
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gw6JEYNqe
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。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CICgYGbpT
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFSYnWWxIZ
他不想要再一次的抱著希望，因此他只能自己去接受絕望。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWJI2K8Jnd
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuumdHNTKtD
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……73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4V4jC0oae
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzXrPR54BW
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjz4LriiKB
「丁，你起床了嗎？」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOT1AJocrb
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Imx6RMrhC
「……是。」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMOhPNDX3K
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Rd4uzigxL
「我們有些話想跟你說。」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8Z3ymtOaZ
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpALRwD2r7c
不是一個人，就算想逃也逃不掉，對吧？73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SkaPvkNjA
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiuCfQIHv6
丁在心裡想著，一邊聆聽村長那一長串的理由，然後點頭。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBky1uK7Mky
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNbVqGbtpe
「我願意。」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a0jYVwDJ3
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6ju0zESh6
然後在眾人鬆了一口氣的情況下，被包圍著前往祭場。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zvcjiawuc
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQYD8iIb1Q
「換上這個。」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsSdpHfT3Z
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MgEGZWxIx
「戴上這個。」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVO9sFqLQY
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5xAyr3l68
「還有這個。」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cHwxyZTCo
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VYUbxbxPW
「喂，把那個拿來。」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoai7DA9gCn
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK8j7vFDat
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。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K04ep0lV2
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCWPwT3xtP
「不要恨我啊，丁。」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCDdKcYUUD
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWJgoFxUbr
村長說著，也朝著他的方向拜了一拜。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKSra7rWFT
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hpa9wYCcl
「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。」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWNIJxg13W
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsYGdJGvMn
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。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RJWeht4fe
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi3irA5AxW
而村人們你看看我、我看看你，便在陸續道謝後離開了祭壇。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIyBgADZVi
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6xqqFAE3I
「…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……」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW2sIuw93q
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhGAyl3fPn
丁小聲的碎念，像是要告訴自己，也像是在偷偷的警告村人。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpVVtdWUb3
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKChWXA0zFt
「永別了，請多保重。」73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgHzj4Wy7c
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sgulJZ52P
如果沒有黃泉存在的話。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DbGXp81xx
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A3C1tbbbR
丁維持著端正的姿勢，直到確認村人們走遠。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpZC8psIla
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsyt6oo0nr
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？73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l6HTwOwBI
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCdAuwC6Bp
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。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CHLcNRd2T
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6bdoUAsSS
為什麼，為什麼沒有來接我？73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfA5vO3ag1
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIkbApMUzT
因為我忘了你叫我的名字？還是我忘了你的樣子？73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptonnn12rQ
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7RLLpFIBH
你真的，拋棄了我嗎？73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3BhoWTDrx
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyA0y9q9b4
再也，見不到面了。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCibdorxMFi
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPCMHlxPKV
永遠。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxB6v1035T
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj6mUdXads
完全放下希望，原來是那麼難受的事嗎？73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6bbir0WbB
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiijHcWVHDZ
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。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk6s2b7oJ0
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZpkdulKOd
說不定，再多等幾天他就會出現了啊！73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3LbnlGcYY
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5lCIGNliM
悲憤交加，周圍丁看不到的鬼火逐漸被他的恨意吸引過來。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs21BYU62xa
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2eFtHFyjj
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。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ksTKouiYX
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr0bvbnnSa
是鬼喔。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKsqNcXVJc
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CpdsmzOp9
腦海裡有個聲音說著。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKECfR8ku4l
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsmZhYnHzT
因為跟鬼火結合，你以後就是鬼了。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Kx1b6LLRd
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayyiwMRN8E
跟神明完全無緣的詞彙。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgHoMVT2KP
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkngkm0Drr7
是鬼的話，就可以去到黃泉狠狠的懲戒那些人了吧？73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRqahbOgn1
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF6XJ0N2JA
從祭壇上坐起身，丁張開眼睛。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw78kfJ7dv
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ8fsrORiL
我是鬼，就算真的有神明他也不會想要這樣的祭品的。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmvrz9TvQI
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMMrYXn5bI
然後離開祭壇。73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwc98rvxhT
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFvuES4dMf
就連那個人，也不會要我吧？73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bR2wUQkaK
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXDr0Q3ovI
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPaDTDRHTa
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp2Bk8tZeZ
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTHNjS7wmi
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ3xbavquH
因為，我已經不是人了。
