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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiE9SSBxRt
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9GgRfLr8I
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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkgeOapRBf
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡredj7n6235
「我說……一定得把牆壁打壞才行嗎？」羅特率先打破沉默。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmQxsOO3vj
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToh7R3CcoH
「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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrUVt710iL
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfkRPOCZF5
羅特嘆了口氣。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68XFA8lysF
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F8rjIfZVg
「妳不是可以那個嗎？用眼神就讓對方睡著之類的。」189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYPaYmmSa5
「我以為你不喜歡那樣。」189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkrZoAGKeg
「我是。」189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubNBdL1v0W
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk32qGo6wMi
荷布希轉頭，似乎在思考這段話的邏輯。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuPvYGhjb9
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBqwj2p2Tm
「沒關係，妳就跟平常一樣就好了。」他聳了聳肩。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3TcURcSeC
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zzBjtD7ia
「對人類來說，催眠比碎大石的拳頭要可怕得多。」189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtGZkUs7yL
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKLMWayR0l
荷布希微微頷首。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy0cEYrH7J
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4yCOTDKFl
「我知道了，羅特。」189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHBkxImH0S
「先生……」189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TIXhLOPY2
「先生。」189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyuvlRYMYi
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlrFCwq6oO
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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcaKrh6oC5
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjEalv0It6
荷布希難得地抬起頭，感受空氣中的變化。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3XcrPVx18
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY53R2ZmP5
「剛才，妳說的害怕是什麼？」189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga1hryTAHk
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEhPUPTLwh
荷布希觸角微微震動，灰底的瞳孔多了一絲光點。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4ivKvcDoJ
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAEomBdPav
「阿蜜特嗎？」189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCsL9J9wkc
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fFcrucpC9
「沒錯。」189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk2FPnCCKN
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0BBQoeuhd
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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlJXqq3nrH
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqL1pODqXS
「她在害怕我的進化。」她終於開口說道。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYy4nghV2E
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12FaFaOl6h
「妳是指人格？」189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvhO35bZ8d
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRBuf4YK2R
「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。」189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg79wXOXto0
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOePy6TuTV
「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』。」189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe7anf55Q9
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHSQln10r0
「妳指個體意識。」189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nQEVMAcNZ
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDazfGwGr8
「嗯，『個體意識』。」189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZkgGcUPhy
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAxAI0J5RG
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」。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvI790IUTM
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiB4FFtWah
這也是人類，乃至戰後蟲族最大的挑戰。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q8c19l3Sz
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGK85969Cc
「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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UFqMjGYBo
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLAQEuRULK
「妳是說它沒能產生自我人格，變成理智喪失的怪物嗎？」189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqHXvPinPc
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzptObxcYRT
「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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYw6LjnqkO
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1hwAS4De3
「她沒辦法接受不是群體的自己，只能用本能……驅使自己。」189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbteChBt7t
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbXWCTo097
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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCSIUoG0Py
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImKn0LE29L
「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。」189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorGPQ49wt2
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmeSTEvkRC
「所以她很害怕，我的存在對她來說是可怕的。」189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo6kdoaMQs
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9J6lq0uOX
「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。」189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMthoWyVfp8
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wv2Vx5TNi
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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WVe2iyOfa
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYGzMqcAzB
「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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoGMxhPzmW
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwnT3zdgeS
「是這樣嗎？」荷布希眨了眨眼，低頭陷入思考。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yz1X74e05
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQmduOMNeF
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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyuJHLby3M
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f3OL0A1rZ
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」？189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn9hCgsudh
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxCs4IweGs
「那東西是有害物。」荷布希輕聲說道。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT0raPcCBF
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiycRfnIor
「我知道。」189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJphSKZk7E
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK38z8DBx8j
「那……為什麼？」189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67rLTsD4Nl
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVPckkkmm1
羅特嘆了口氣。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUAhLowHRr
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1FjnWaMdj
「別管我了，就讓我抽抽吧。」189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOpLPpyg2v
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX0B4ZS0xd
荷布希轉過頭去，不再說話。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbGWiK8Drc
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzQZDqREAG
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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZpvsXTJBj
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld6At1WAPK
他必須確保這位「夥伴」隨時處在他視線可及的範圍。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzD5rpsJ04
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YkwZzmLo7
「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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCErmp1SEQ
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeUwSrT0Ln
「會回到『那個地方』，跟其他失調者關在一起。」189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TyyBZJnHo
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLxbRBYAjZ
得到答案後她輕輕點頭，不再說話。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVPkgnZ0gk
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmJhWPooe2
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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGFal0Gxmp
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mis0sZROn
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。
