電梯在狹窄的通道緩緩上升，生鏽的鐵柵欄發出哐啷的晃動聲。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDak1nIduc
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQx6QDoe2X
和來時一樣，羅特站在電梯一側，荷布希站在電梯的另一隅，尷尬得像兩個素昧平生的陌生人。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIj4fQY7QU
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8nhNcxO1g
「我說……一定得把牆壁打壞才行嗎？」羅特率先打破沉默。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUEXZtLwBj
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zBlV4bC0v
「對不起，下次會注意。」她說這話時，面部神經沒有任何波動，就像在指令性的回覆。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UOD6HErYr
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWncnKljuC
羅特嘆了口氣。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3LvTBTdtc
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVpiBz8Wgv
「妳不是可以那個嗎？用眼神就讓對方睡著之類的。」182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lAu0M63Je
「我以為你不喜歡那樣。」182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zR4eip7LG
「我是。」182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPiUTx0DqI
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol4YVYLEpJ
荷布希轉頭，似乎在思考這段話的邏輯。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoKKo4dQ2w
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqmgHuxRDU
「沒關係，妳就跟平常一樣就好了。」他聳了聳肩。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlho0GWKte4
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0VYjEXjAn
「對人類來說，催眠比碎大石的拳頭要可怕得多。」182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nMaCeLcMI
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUwUbAdZCv
荷布希微微頷首。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqyvlb0fU5
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltggSyYaD2
「我知道了，羅特。」182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecI8xLwJ8I
「先生……」182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFfseJOUBo
「先生。」182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCJU9cW6Qj
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cuaFWjW38
潮濕的氣味隨著上升漸漸淡去，取而代之的是乾燥的消毒劑和舊紙張的味道。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0ReFPvwgE
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCE68mfVbZ
荷布希難得地抬起頭，感受空氣中的變化。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGskR1YIBJ3
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNIwK0LVf6
「剛才，妳說的害怕是什麼？」182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZxphGxtkc
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPKtm2NbVQ
荷布希觸角微微震動，灰底的瞳孔多了一絲光點。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFyAxPxpUj
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2xOkIvyPt
「阿蜜特嗎？」182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlSshq0xjB
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgEkwP36fh
「沒錯。」182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB7SilIuFG
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2sGo7ZD96
她低頭思考片刻，僵得像一塊靜止的冰雕，羅特沒有催促，他知道她正在組織著大腦中為數不多的詞彙。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNDxeQnCmQ
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwUGHvJDPC
「她在害怕我的進化。」她終於開口說道。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsshwPekSQ
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMz00EVEiH
「妳是指人格？」182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtVCHjPhca
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcWD75hM4b
「嗯。」荷布希點頭，接著說：「以前，母體連接我們的意識，告訴我們該怎麼做……我們都是母體，母體也是我們。」182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXcZJ7dpEJ
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qQUna0DjN
「但人類殺死母體之後，這些就沒有了。然後，第一次有了……那個……『我』。」182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsIzNFdWX7
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JYgnSV1KG
「妳指個體意識。」182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYUueoWCOd
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufsaAoeIYL
「嗯，『個體意識』。」182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHCeVkrE4g
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7deVp9Q13e
她的詞彙有些生澀，生澀得像剛學會課文的孩子，即便那是能一手摧毀鋼筋的「怪物」。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL1eKs1Wbk
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Gb1dGnNlM
這也是人類，乃至戰後蟲族最大的挑戰。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdujdhY2V8
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIeLeyERya
「然後……阿蜜特跟那些一樣，沒能突破那個地方。」她伸手輕觸了自己的額頭。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rCRODsiUx
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa2AEgDIlM
「妳是說它沒能產生自我人格，變成理智喪失的怪物嗎？」182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdqWz1dOKd
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6lLaZyHrH
「她沒辦法接受。」荷布希聲音很輕，輕得像落在湖面上的羽毛，卻又比任何時刻來得沉重。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkAp7lTaF2
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPAqZNnG6c
「她沒辦法接受不是群體的自己，只能用本能……驅使自己。」182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDHuG5ufJz
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWnHsjo3av
羅特有些愣住，這是他第一次聽說的，無論是軍隊還是研究員，都未曾有過的說法。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AQIWaEkVR
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcqicqjDbF
「我和阿蜜特都是『蛾』種，在我感應到她的時候，她也感應到我了。」182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI3o80LWcK
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqPENYaA0N
「所以她很害怕，我的存在對她來說是可怕的。」182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYtytYHTI8
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xUJuJuUZr
「她害怕突破……『個體意識』的我，是成功的進化，那樣的話，就代表她是失敗的了。」182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv31lWulk2
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNDaotfywd
偶爾的時候，荷布希的話會像現在這樣變多。羅特有時分不清，那些究竟是在陳述事實，還是屬於她「個人」的想法。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqCbYq96Sg
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrEZ3TMGUv
「當它有這種想法的時候，就已經站在個體的角度了。」羅特從口袋抽出一支菸，輕輕點燃了結論。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj3sI5CHEn
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaIfYnO9Fz
「是這樣嗎？」荷布希眨了眨眼，低頭陷入思考。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo45lWH0aHb
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEpSa8L986
羅特重重吐了口白煙，身體消化著剛才那從未產生過的想法。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnwarNODrn
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGRc28OLhc
現在能獨自說出這番話的新蟲族，是否已經超越了當年母體一心執著的「進化」？182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX29GfBjWj
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW9GWZviQF
「那東西是有害物。」荷布希輕聲說道。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgS51FuSuW
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX7nPa2l9r
「我知道。」182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFj0hJl7xY
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5ZQ1GyCog
「那……為什麼？」182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrnrZJzHVf
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZELHpf1N6c
羅特嘆了口氣。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t5WhCK2Jk
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK1NtOgKj8
「別管我了，就讓我抽抽吧。」182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25aPGSCYri
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl57JjZ1JhN
荷布希轉過頭去，不再說話。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vyli1S6MK
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipBJGciaKS
直到一陣震動聲和碰撞，電梯抵達了最初的地方。羅特拉開鐵閘，沒有率先走出，而是待荷布希出去後，才並行跟上。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd49Wc8JVlp
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43QoSlvvRx
他必須確保這位「夥伴」隨時處在他視線可及的範圍。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSqCWCEOcF
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS7HmWY5iB
「羅特，她會怎麼樣？」荷布希走在他的身側，陽光透過窗戶映照出她面容的陰影。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIgHkOsIRD
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4oPh82g1f
「會回到『那個地方』，跟其他失調者關在一起。」182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98nG6E2u7A
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d9SpKq77c
得到答案後她輕輕點頭，不再說話。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBvWurq5sk
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM4A8cxVZI
對她們來說，要完美突破個人意識的界線產生獨立人格還是太過困難，大部分被俘虜的蟲族終其一生，也只能待在那不見天日的，幽暗的收容區。182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSWkV4aD7I
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7bLQlqbHo
然而對於覺醒人格的那些蟲族們，這條路才剛剛踏上了起點。
