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。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SHuMgoa1j
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLKe0AQBkG
不會回來了吧？81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXhRXcwQRe
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVh9IDH3NA
從村人們的交談中，丁不得不接受這樣的事實。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbfNDuFDqc
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVzTWu2hRe
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。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3Z3HOytuT
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyutdwfCNm
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。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnyKdalD76
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpcUOC83h9
不知不覺，他似乎已經很久沒有笑過了。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E2YQpxDQw
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaQti3ewuC
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。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnUrh5RFMG
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BoHnExAGS
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。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZpR0oxUhw
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSu4Aoazcg
只是有時看著這東西會覺得他還能繼續努力下去。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DaA3iOmpG
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXq7SPb3wo
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。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBkPIsBnx3
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmca36QYO0Q
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。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr9dJz2S9D

「還不下雨…！獻上活祭品吧！」81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO3GdqEuYG
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkuuPF4Bls
某日夜晚，在丁進入夢鄉前，他隱約聽到如此的聲音。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFnpavMgJa
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCNAoLadf2
啊啊，活祭品，是指活生生被獻給神明的動物嗎？81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBdgSA1DQe
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY5Qx8Ayz5
「我不要當祭品。」81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r6GcugqJW
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFvK2af4Is
嗯？81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MNYpWDV3q
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR1nG26KGQ
「我也不要。」81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpJQ3KpWN9
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjXQD6OTA9
不是用動物嗎？81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6px2o9a7vM
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVmyeJi0wf
「丁呢？」81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TxqgId3QN
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0TSH5wygS
！81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaacfOmOJP
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmvbNTNs2Z
「對了，還有丁吶。」81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdgfuNmcYh
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupu41mRiHH
我要被交給神明？在祭壇上活生生地被殺死嗎？81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprzYZXctLC
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpvVTAKunD
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？81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcq2YuOAAH
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLpcEHnS2U
……回收屍體的時候，這東西會被看到的。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp6itilFLR
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBzxwAPTzz
聽著聲音漸弱，等到火光熄滅，丁坐起身，輕巧的離開床舖。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysbQp4d9pY
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtCsj1dmV7
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。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa9rXE2x26
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5g7Ml1Nm0
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。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUwSPBDvCn
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FRyWwMd90
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。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHfa3fHG42
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLtN6IpEzq
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。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo6SM5co59
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXepiwbdnkv
將樹枝插在樹洞前的土壤，丁的嘴角微微上揚。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLufqueLiW
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz7Lu17UlA
感謝你小時候的照顧。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5XlU8CCIW
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNbbifUO3O
默念著，丁將一直珍藏的寶物纏繞在樹枝上頭。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG8FiOFTVy
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MkWiArrkp
大概明天，我就會被告知這件事了。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gAiCQryBW
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3USvmOkgrf
我，一直都......81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyfUOuuhej
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlHc72iKMv
嗤笑自己的情感，丁勾起嘴角，然後站起身。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TEnbX12Ar
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV8NWHYbR4
永別了，以後就再也見不到面了。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHSkHglIPn
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCi2EQRLQv
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。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9YhszAz83
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiumStDGS0H
以後就真的，可以不用再抱著希望，一日復一日的等下去了。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMmgWtvUco
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLJ8nMlD3W
抹殺掉自己心中那份期待，丁冷靜地想著。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FxQ1PEm2L
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k7iH4LNhH
近十年都不曾出現過的人，是不可能在最後一刻出現的。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03lKpFq0mK
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpFygTlwOb
這樣就好，這樣就可以了。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9MaKGXPbV
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFR8F6c6Zj
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。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHajkj75RR
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkaq3aIZxW
他不想要再一次的抱著希望，因此他只能自己去接受絕望。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lkWQKBpzx
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWlAroNMkq
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……81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpORuah05B
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w0kEbHweh
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx7dWfXKl5
「丁，你起床了嗎？」81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlj1F3m5ZP
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3S9V9GJzv
「……是。」81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpZxWrMbWO
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJimL5pPbi
「我們有些話想跟你說。」81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9zDvLSuvd
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva82Pp2SdZ
不是一個人，就算想逃也逃不掉，對吧？81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHuuMlfM3k
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6bxKXOZoP
丁在心裡想著，一邊聆聽村長那一長串的理由，然後點頭。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo581TnMPmE
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0v6NvCezE
「我願意。」81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyp6y0wdLk
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXNcMfMJXS
然後在眾人鬆了一口氣的情況下，被包圍著前往祭場。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDqNDfF6VD
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9uD8W1D3m
「換上這個。」81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS3eIAKxMk
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCL5QImsmC
「戴上這個。」81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKtU4otoBC
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9ZvGQcTSO
「還有這個。」81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaOOb7urF5
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq586uTYKp7
「喂，把那個拿來。」81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkslS9l2rD
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8JiX3OvBh
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。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4hND40NgL
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfb1Yn2kkr
「不要恨我啊，丁。」81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVVlSildr8
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68Hnf52LPm
村長說著，也朝著他的方向拜了一拜。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHDK5RwV0Y
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin74NvFGvZ
「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。」81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6xdasNxEg
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqkcRKizcf
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。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMszxC1RWqo
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI0KXAzy2n
而村人們你看看我、我看看你，便在陸續道謝後離開了祭壇。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW4h0H8l98
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWdweCWC0x
「…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……」81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGKduFheKU
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYTf6MlHEo
丁小聲的碎念，像是要告訴自己，也像是在偷偷的警告村人。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kai4DGUqE
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD8yLWhsRb
「永別了，請多保重。」81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS2maktyXx
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk0nhqfIhI
如果沒有黃泉存在的話。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUmL0XBELB
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlv5h6PLe4
丁維持著端正的姿勢，直到確認村人們走遠。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85mdJMuA3Y
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJVRS2LRPp
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？81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdfalhSZaE
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjsBkvZHLc
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。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV07cP01uI
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4KQFI1aZA
為什麼，為什麼沒有來接我？81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0li0hjoL5
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPAUITIPVy
因為我忘了你叫我的名字？還是我忘了你的樣子？81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBytxxWfNP
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeKxfnit0g
你真的，拋棄了我嗎？81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpvo7DaIaB
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbo6EEq5Kx
再也，見不到面了。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlgpqR3deA
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMbkDX5lGP
永遠。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgK3KTazpe
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17VsMR0UIC
完全放下希望，原來是那麼難受的事嗎？81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa1HXeawIL
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ee1jxluDx
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。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOszykAz9f
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYFxfYeRcm
說不定，再多等幾天他就會出現了啊！81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseG9nnff6I
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrsA7UxxfU
悲憤交加，周圍丁看不到的鬼火逐漸被他的恨意吸引過來。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifcjXXfN9H
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQGXCk4OHY
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。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpECwiQTOC
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlde03OtJSI
是鬼喔。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumPa4fSGrq
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AjW39H1ng
腦海裡有個聲音說著。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQjlAXiUqf
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14CQ1UVH5d
因為跟鬼火結合，你以後就是鬼了。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHTMl9sDgV
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6Dmel87jH
跟神明完全無緣的詞彙。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunKQBFeT9u
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsmtD418TT
是鬼的話，就可以去到黃泉狠狠的懲戒那些人了吧？81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmVFx5NKKm
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa7vSGSe2A
從祭壇上坐起身，丁張開眼睛。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYDKwenAnt
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBkqwL33VS
我是鬼，就算真的有神明他也不會想要這樣的祭品的。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoRgG1p4Vf
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NDVErFg6N
然後離開祭壇。81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9hGCq59Kp
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQJBo7DGU0
就連那個人，也不會要我吧？81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWImJGeNdI0
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2AusbgAOx
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7njNE4d6w
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PTXsP5Oso
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2vnEdyA4y
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1Sa8jpVjd
因為，我已經不是人了。
