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。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl8AAe01Ka
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gcG6VpmXV
不會回來了吧？56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy7MOzOrOT
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8GerSlrZp
從村人們的交談中，丁不得不接受這樣的事實。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCW65zxVQX
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCeo5kj1p2
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。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JXg9QDb27
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcbj85NPzm
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。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtzC4GKyUb
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp6T2ypI5Z
不知不覺，他似乎已經很久沒有笑過了。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMYTE3iViI
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6Tyxt0sCS
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。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01ojlKZcwG
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mcqcn2ncu
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。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM70eItW8rJ
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH0nd6aGck
只是有時看著這東西會覺得他還能繼續努力下去。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJef4a5i1d
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwLZsd27j0
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。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yYfR1Yjkp
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamxCBCn10h
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。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnFebrb5zW
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoCRZMtsf8
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14e3pRehR6
「還不下雨…！獻上活祭品吧！」56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tjvWsLki8
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYa08ZsKY3
某日夜晚，在丁進入夢鄉前，他隱約聽到如此的聲音。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyFZIzymQA
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1rCqv4ZgW
啊啊，活祭品，是指活生生被獻給神明的動物嗎？56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5Y2Y6wYSD
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFJ64GHiQ4
「我不要當祭品。」56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z9SsAqpSY
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFquxXWWMr
嗯？56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsyiE8EetI
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVpA30LOHb
「我也不要。」56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGDyld8XDX
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai0odFwWRi
不是用動物嗎？56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOZ5sCsGGM
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepGDzEJhIc
「丁呢？」56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0g5V3qAjw
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWKTroq4Qm
！56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5a9ntOZlR
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsVxq9OAoV
「對了，還有丁吶。」56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEkIsjcCNS
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwavWUHlzk
我要被交給神明？在祭壇上活生生地被殺死嗎？56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEOI25AcLW
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTlyeCB08L
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？56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJFFxVNsNo
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8MLNZ7qWE
……回收屍體的時候，這東西會被看到的。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxYpkAoqlH
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV80M8sER1
聽著聲音漸弱，等到火光熄滅，丁坐起身，輕巧的離開床舖。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XEgKKu2Ij
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4oEF5u3fT
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。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdaWYBOVeW
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul8D4SYU6z
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。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKygu9yiCM8
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNHszksmfV
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。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pKUSNzYrS
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA10sC57wyo
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。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqGsRGiT5F
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BcNhUEY26
將樹枝插在樹洞前的土壤，丁的嘴角微微上揚。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhZAWxoalI
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERxG5TEApD
感謝你小時候的照顧。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v4rR97c1S
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglbacd9giC
默念著，丁將一直珍藏的寶物纏繞在樹枝上頭。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZCTc0osbz
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6YFb0jQEd
大概明天，我就會被告知這件事了。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv4hmL6eB0
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXn7YWFhyz
我，一直都......56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkLOUM2ax4
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfODLA1nug
嗤笑自己的情感，丁勾起嘴角，然後站起身。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyhWtL1max
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68XiumPi2O
永別了，以後就再也見不到面了。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP3MklMjao
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta56ARIN9B
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。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYTC4SyKUe
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFMGybrrd9
以後就真的，可以不用再抱著希望，一日復一日的等下去了。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6ywkSngKU
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPbpwYfvBu
抹殺掉自己心中那份期待，丁冷靜地想著。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq7lI1myn9
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PReayPPpG
近十年都不曾出現過的人，是不可能在最後一刻出現的。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPhUOUczjv
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQNzMrD1tk
這樣就好，這樣就可以了。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsnvljdUQt
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5tldDnKkm
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。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW69oWMusI
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyA3vW8XGY
他不想要再一次的抱著希望，因此他只能自己去接受絕望。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQzSAgNzUR
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh2Xik6SP7
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……56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCjbMY4gil
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfPKBv74op
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5ko9dXcgY
「丁，你起床了嗎？」56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzXcF2qurv
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb0YU2n9Lo
「……是。」56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBx1So6tbH
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaWSSgyO1f
「我們有些話想跟你說。」56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzDIvW0QAq
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3iJUk9Elz
不是一個人，就算想逃也逃不掉，對吧？56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vM6dt9yqX
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihL4WkpILb
丁在心裡想著，一邊聆聽村長那一長串的理由，然後點頭。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8Nnf9C3z2
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnTkU0eU4C
「我願意。」56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hd26lmUa4
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaMcS2RTZH
然後在眾人鬆了一口氣的情況下，被包圍著前往祭場。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR6C8vAY6i
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsNFnKFpFI
「換上這個。」56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb1Ha2vuLI
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtG73GQYnG
「戴上這個。」56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmczOs76KKf
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfvVrH3bJE
「還有這個。」56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRlnuJDG58
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RjfvymyEe
「喂，把那個拿來。」56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHHhpf7xAI
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CgZ2Z3wav
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。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpJNML3T9v
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwdoIHqDcx
「不要恨我啊，丁。」56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYs9cIYjVD
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs2QFMMJbr
村長說著，也朝著他的方向拜了一拜。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs2N2zGFZY
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm1SwBMtko
「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。」56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY9oOAe3gd
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKnhQgYLsI
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。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9q45jOJpn
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1L2xzFTZT
而村人們你看看我、我看看你，便在陸續道謝後離開了祭壇。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQd8be4w2U
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVryxxROas
「…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……」56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKLXkpOr5E
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x4YgLKwyl
丁小聲的碎念，像是要告訴自己，也像是在偷偷的警告村人。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHHf1ZQ0qp
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPgeZGVudt
「永別了，請多保重。」56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQYxZvNzKn
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Bc03wtFhn
如果沒有黃泉存在的話。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN2NOOw2Nb
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSq5eGufuw
丁維持著端正的姿勢，直到確認村人們走遠。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81ptxs91BF
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXKoAIHs4E
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？56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG6ekf2VAH
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dfEjhcluT
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。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MpnNYKyFr
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSGFil3JN5
為什麼，為什麼沒有來接我？56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzYrUMsk4T
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VOvYvBuFS
因為我忘了你叫我的名字？還是我忘了你的樣子？56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4ra2TwBl7
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9J6DRnXDZ
你真的，拋棄了我嗎？56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpa2X31fiL
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg9uAcF3m9
再也，見不到面了。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFnWPjq64l
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGHJatpGC1
永遠。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0f12Cegta
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ7DGuJx95
完全放下希望，原來是那麼難受的事嗎？56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HeLA9cC85
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6E3Cw5hIb
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。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmbrWdlilI
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7XNlzXmTo
說不定，再多等幾天他就會出現了啊！56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBiL5NX9UW
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZC2Zr53iH
悲憤交加，周圍丁看不到的鬼火逐漸被他的恨意吸引過來。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xKPXPofIK
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEXo830CLs
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。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcF0JCxi5n
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCzJ70XQ6h
是鬼喔。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrYJ0tYtdH
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3JD9kCe0r
腦海裡有個聲音說著。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy4PajpBcx
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7vflNehFL
因為跟鬼火結合，你以後就是鬼了。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSkcAe406R
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFtgj6H2El
跟神明完全無緣的詞彙。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzeGxAfBMU
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6v2M9ONGu
是鬼的話，就可以去到黃泉狠狠的懲戒那些人了吧？56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOEGhsjHC0
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRXWzNM1ex
從祭壇上坐起身，丁張開眼睛。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJbpGSkziJ
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk43WSdBOB
我是鬼，就算真的有神明他也不會想要這樣的祭品的。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLwb31Oaqk
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthegOPsVui
然後離開祭壇。56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj9gDkJiQm
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL2jb06SRT
就連那個人，也不會要我吧？56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgG56r7fCp
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFrWSDIe70
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej9D9ii1pU
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqbzwAOrNr
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2DHd6jZFA
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz3DrQ7tSP
因為，我已經不是人了。
