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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvb3kFFcND
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtMheZLGCP
不會回來了吧？80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSoqRIblwW
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69ZLDhaRQ4
從村人們的交談中，丁不得不接受這樣的事實。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZVueOO57i
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3SmW3TSbo
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhNreSCb2O
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dem106w1N
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2xgaqSlBh
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNgvbOESHC
不知不覺，他似乎已經很久沒有笑過了。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcMzwT3vLN
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyVgea7fdF
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyw9QXpA1w
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqQlWnbxF5
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzB5TKKEDd
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDDS5YFOL6
只是有時看著這東西會覺得他還能繼續努力下去。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv0EqKsog7
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mZu6r8iBT
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I1cczmkJ5
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaWHsyobfC
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjnt10tzky
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaX0Z93rEE
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIVZPrnCW2
「還不下雨…！獻上活祭品吧！」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEV1kyGsn5
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmRzyhI8NB
某日夜晚，在丁進入夢鄉前，他隱約聽到如此的聲音。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzIxx1zKXa
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ6L6MFWmd
啊啊，活祭品，是指活生生被獻給神明的動物嗎？80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH5AXi14Rs
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1QRnSIxfO
「我不要當祭品。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD6GTHGPf2
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8FRSLg9SW
嗯？80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbRYvmRzoV
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY36RY8vGyA
「我也不要。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuAziu1iaN
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCq5EHQ2qr
不是用動物嗎？80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG8SYaLMxf
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeA66tc850
「丁呢？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8liuMYwtNJ
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM13qXvqEH
！80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXrmxbEdzv
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvqoepPCcd
「對了，還有丁吶。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsDGuCEm6G
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWWVOh1GLe
我要被交給神明？在祭壇上活生生地被殺死嗎？80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27ZcGCOJ0x
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFddEvLvEE
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？80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE18Q45MhT
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h9I23l7Ek
……回收屍體的時候，這東西會被看到的。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWvNzqDswU
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDOggBeg1I
聽著聲音漸弱，等到火光熄滅，丁坐起身，輕巧的離開床舖。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqWExEeFFq
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsaHjEcFb5
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tecSPhBHb
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQGVRjwKAW
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxQ5YNPIng
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaNf8LXMDR
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGP52D01lB
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBMnoOp7Ks
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBONGqsZ44v
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPVz7eU0Mo
將樹枝插在樹洞前的土壤，丁的嘴角微微上揚。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1Lv6mqmcR
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB3ESpSMSf
感謝你小時候的照顧。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeFX00XpGw
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihptfAOrKJ
默念著，丁將一直珍藏的寶物纏繞在樹枝上頭。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJnUjOper8
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JEnVd3JXR
大概明天，我就會被告知這件事了。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rLPl1fTdN
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BxUsV0FFY
我，一直都......80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RbgHh13eZ
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGLRYIF8T9
嗤笑自己的情感，丁勾起嘴角，然後站起身。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5j0qWOTyb
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb6wf6nua3
永別了，以後就再也見不到面了。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0W7QVj4L0
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDvjVEAIuJ
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5i8tgoNI9
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VcTaq6Jzl
以後就真的，可以不用再抱著希望，一日復一日的等下去了。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLZctK6fOU
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLxSlJNhPq
抹殺掉自己心中那份期待，丁冷靜地想著。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz9Um1HVTH
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdaHmC3b9o
近十年都不曾出現過的人，是不可能在最後一刻出現的。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoyWT6kwlj
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2niB0C09BW
這樣就好，這樣就可以了。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1NTxcL23t
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8lXaTYxnO
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Uo0RnyWxW
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKraRiBeHK
他不想要再一次的抱著希望，因此他只能自己去接受絕望。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10xd8UFawg
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqDOqEW6PV
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……80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnObHx7Lx7
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJNyCdQnkB
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWCPj0sxOc
「丁，你起床了嗎？」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OmkXEOcyP
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCR5Iyz2co
「……是。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1Vqb100xp
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3afjyYHta
「我們有些話想跟你說。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUPjkAMYBo
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyq9Jvd0KO
不是一個人，就算想逃也逃不掉，對吧？80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqbKFNo0rs
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8ZQAv59xH
丁在心裡想著，一邊聆聽村長那一長串的理由，然後點頭。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdCIHZ3ecR
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndd9zQwE6T
「我願意。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryonyvN6QJ
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIjzH0ZlA2
然後在眾人鬆了一口氣的情況下，被包圍著前往祭場。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CmNfPPy1R
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLj4rZorsy
「換上這個。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NByCHU1GY
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYwsYBbntz
「戴上這個。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYxiex9K0S
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfabkhE9Ewh
「還有這個。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPD6qp7fLL
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvZSmfR7hQ
「喂，把那個拿來。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmRa8kACjD
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzBgoqv1nQ
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGxgAEOuIw
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiOdAlwBuA
「不要恨我啊，丁。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCLbbUZWEV
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIqfWzzysG
村長說著，也朝著他的方向拜了一拜。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnXloQR8ZA
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEqq5pu4EH
「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。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7Ao4AwLaK
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPYVxQS3N6
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvwHOQBIRn
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBDTHYKe2z
而村人們你看看我、我看看你，便在陸續道謝後離開了祭壇。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MLRaVDZUu
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrRbPCXFYH
「…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……」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfdOm8SzaZ
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbmVbAovej
丁小聲的碎念，像是要告訴自己，也像是在偷偷的警告村人。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMLqX4hHxU
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbK34Pw6G2
「永別了，請多保重。」80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDHaOJeleF
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9e568VibA
如果沒有黃泉存在的話。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdg1Xg2fWD
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDGQC9dsTQ
丁維持著端正的姿勢，直到確認村人們走遠。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdEmgBi6Jp
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLbRts58QJ
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？80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPAVM7uTML
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze0bmrcTko
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO78SsrHWw1
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw8vVl16go
為什麼，為什麼沒有來接我？80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav5k0abXZG
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKXDzzmEOe
因為我忘了你叫我的名字？還是我忘了你的樣子？80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQa3YGhaLc
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLyaHv1Hny
你真的，拋棄了我嗎？80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIh6aPO1C0
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeSVh8VfVn
再也，見不到面了。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFhIoCJbJQ
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApxTjjNKiJ
永遠。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebP3KrpCIg
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdmwAry1vS
完全放下希望，原來是那麼難受的事嗎？80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DeFgZqprT
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFJk24uCGi
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWUmGf9KZ4
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNntbwsV7pN
說不定，再多等幾天他就會出現了啊！80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdSldEO5F7
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nqtxhFQwq
悲憤交加，周圍丁看不到的鬼火逐漸被他的恨意吸引過來。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE1Njw8e9i
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEUeb6SjNb
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。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx1zQEMQTU
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnVVOMBYYY
是鬼喔。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6qWAdUfD9
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlkwBBZIc5
腦海裡有個聲音說著。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62zMEGUxji
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrndIHo3je
因為跟鬼火結合，你以後就是鬼了。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiO45yHvwk
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbnZKSlxz4
跟神明完全無緣的詞彙。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1s4lCLJd0
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUpsiJQbRn
是鬼的話，就可以去到黃泉狠狠的懲戒那些人了吧？80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMcwoOmJWe
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBads1hrPvg
從祭壇上坐起身，丁張開眼睛。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4VQ99Qy4a
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz2gwvjRfx
我是鬼，就算真的有神明他也不會想要這樣的祭品的。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxQGAuwpr5
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5TGaAhE4w
然後離開祭壇。80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY8hYpf8j4
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bI4DQdA0t
就連那個人，也不會要我吧？80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOoxpwjn4D
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAJxmXz1Tn
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajHXNKGGeE
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuslpH0VjsT
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ3AujwD6U
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRPlTUeupq
因為，我已經不是人了。
