細雨紛飛，潮濕的空氣在黑壓壓的雲層下顯得格外凝重，連幾隻掠過的飛鳥都不願在此處多加停留。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneueOp98vw
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡialkNwT14W
這裡是西區的普朗頓，維克瓦茲最偏僻、也是最接近「荒地」的城市——然而這些都不是重點。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9WfOzuKet
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhFpy9Dy9Y
啪啦——124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqApm5QiRK
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwIbJGa3yR
破舊的帆布條在修建一半的鋼筋上隨風拍打，成為這座被遺棄的工業區中唯一的殘音。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb6qUolbfA
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EJt8TRyNk
普朗頓工業區，現在就在眼前。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LAiYcBVwN
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9uF9MrXk1
連綿不斷的鐵絲網圍繞整個區域，曾經用來「保護」的象徵，如今看上去倒像一種刻意的封印。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHACjJGLXcD
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiTICUhIQZ
「如何？能看見什麼嗎？」124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0STHWJu0Ut
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXho1vYYHE
羅特站在遠處一棟停工的水泥建築上，聽說此處原先是作為員工住宅的規劃地，如今隨著工業區倒閉被無限延期。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmXPReyGSU
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9OwfYhQqz
從六樓的窗框望出去，恰好能俯瞰整個工業區，乃至其後方山坡的樹林。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupwsRuIQi7
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb7Vfbr3dE
「沒有，沒有看見蟲族藏在裡面。」荷布希立在一旁，黑漆漆的眼珠掃視遠方。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D3oJvyhuG
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwy41T7XMg
「和刑警的說法一樣。」羅特低頭點燃了一支菸，陷入深深思緒。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkobA9cwVH
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPkS0sY7wl
「你要去普朗頓工業區？」他的腦海中浮現稍早時候與布萊克的談話。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWSJhDvJ76
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbnadHVPi0
「勸你最好再三思一下……你以為那裡為什麼會被封起來？」124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEjZHzBpkZ
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HBxVaNdKr
依循布萊克的勸誡，他並沒有踏入鐵絲網的封鎖線內，只是遠遠地觀察。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ncmdvaCX8
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhClAJ6P3T
然而，還是有幾件事令他十分在意。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wrO4P7Fgt
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5yk5snPe3
「有留下的痕跡。」荷布希目不轉睛地說。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKeB1a8e0u
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl9ZDAYqCX
「哪裡？」124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFr6nxzn0J
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3Uxc57w2I
「很多。廠房、車庫，到處都有一點。」她說：「但是很淡，快消失了。」124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0nOjti8zE
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8047xwDR0Q
羅特輕輕點頭，吐了口菸。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hULZBa8tT
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugrW03Vs9l
對於持有新蟲族的調查員來說，普通的野蟲族幾乎構成不了威脅。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxc7t1KXde
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO43JX8CIFt
但根據布萊克的警告，他顯然是知道其中什麼秘密，可為何遲遲不出手？124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOsIel6403
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqH4TC7fPl
若真是與他所述一樣，他們又為何無法在此發現任何隱藏其中的東西？124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPM0JbU4jw
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZqQcYFYWJ
「如果是倒閉前使用的蟲族，痕跡應該早就消失了對吧？」他試探性地問道。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr8fRqtJmv
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9CZ3NQnDz
「嗯。」荷布希輕聲回應：「但沒辦法看得很清楚，太遠了。」124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgryIiILUny
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6Xy68nMH3
雨勢隨著冷冽的風漸漸變大，濕氣透過窗框灑入，浸濕了她散亂的瀏海。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa8h51BHnu
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjopuC12hW
羅特抬頭仰望，皺了皺眉頭。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZZhzqHSyw
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8VUhSKO0k
雨勢帶來的聲響、氣味、震動，無疑是對精細的「全知」而言最大的干擾。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEwT6qRzeU
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhS7S2BZLX
「羅特。」荷布希說道：「什麼是『眼中釘』？」124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKWbP0kQaM
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SVF6JeJ3Z
羅特愣了一下，似乎還沒從思緒中反應過來。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75sSzru8kA
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYzQ2K3DHG
他看向荷布希，荷布希只是直勾勾盯著前方，空空的眼神像是某個其他存在的傳聲筒。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9btXkJijEW
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDqQ27UEGq
「你是指早上芬科特助理說的話嗎？」124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PfKhcMGYx
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHNyndn4HH
「嗯。」124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxpWZyiYsq
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4YHWPjBsx
羅特看著遠方霧濛濛的工業區，不禁悶嘆了口氣。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnGwDNhQd4
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHs8vkQs4V
對他的「搭檔」而言，那些無關緊要的瑣事，總是比眼前的案件更有吸引力。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqeV2DK5LS
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV7QpswdUV
「還有，是羅特……」124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaCZH8Bl4G
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi5gIJVGyQ
「羅特先生。」她飛快地回道，像在搶答一樣。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9d5WhmF3x
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5umrJee0s
羅特呆愣片刻後，無奈地點了點頭，過了好一會兒後才繼續說道。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwo6DH80Pl
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrPYV405AF
「就是一種針對，荷布希。」他簡短回答。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxiRfJ7MRS
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggtwbiSkNM
「針對……」荷布希重複著他的話，口中念念有詞。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCv7Obyv6l
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyI1IK82pE
「有些人對她有意見，而那個意見沒辦法被解決，所以就會發生衝突……對嗎？」124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6ghwvc45z
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAX3R7EKke
羅特瞟了她一眼，他分不清荷布希究竟是理解了這句話的意思，還是單純地將他講過的話照抄了過來。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLEabnL9Wz
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCFcBBe96H
「沒錯，但又不太一樣。」他抖了抖菸，眉頭深鎖的注視遠方：「所謂『眼中釘』，是有一群人將妳視為阻礙，想要讓妳消失。」124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqICJO3gMfd
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIEoY4cBMz
「消失……」她喃喃唸道，頭頂展開的觸角微微轉動。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7RzkcGM5V
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOnLOb13d6
「文森特議員也是誰的『眼中釘』嗎？」124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1U0KRPsrl
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXFZzfYcdA
羅特轉過頭看她，而她依然像個冰雕一樣，連眼睛都沒眨動。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3nrW0FmMo
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBsJM4DcVG
這倒不能怪她，畢竟在『全知』之眼下，不需要特地看著對方，也能夠『看見』對方。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD4cL1fvZS
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdVbeoiYbB
沉默了好一陣子後，他開口說：「很有可能，政治是很複雜的。文森特議員的政治主張讓他樹立很多政敵，那些畏懼蟲族、憎恨蟲族的人，都可能把他當作眼中釘……」124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfvy3Bhitc
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVNp5kjv40
「一定要討厭蟲族才行嗎？」荷布希平靜地打斷他的話。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcmvnTgoaw
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXQ6WC48XY
羅特頓了一下後，抓了抓後腦杓回道：「畢竟文森特議員是主張擴大蟲族的利用，如果是同樣親近蟲族的人，就會成為自己人才對。」124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCgqvMvhi1
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj76NRwza4
「主任……哈薩比斯主任檢察官，是重視『司法』的人嗎？」124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5wfze6ppQ
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKndCla3Q0
羅特愣神片刻，似乎無法理解荷布希兩個問題之間的關聯性。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ66X6WBRz0
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjZwY1lxVR
他皺著眉頭小心翼翼地回覆：「當然……畢竟他也是檢察官。」124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN8mYLCplh
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsIuPQTG1L
幾乎沒有停頓，荷布希接著說道：「但是，查理先生說夏伊勒小姐跟主任吵過一架……夏伊勒小姐也被主任討厭。」124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczfygYUhyp
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqcX1n9v7t
「夏伊勒小姐也是『自己人』的眼中釘。」124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcfGfGCY34
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvF9Ho3nID
空氣中的雜音彷彿在此刻停頓，只剩下雨聲滴答落在水泥上的輕響。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhbKPSrfDl
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigC8UPcnjw
羅特睜大了眼，一股不安的想法憑空而生，瞬間像電流般竄過腦門。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEh771mcof
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjTIXF1Pek
來自戰場的本能讓他迅速掃視周遭，搜尋著數里內任何高於此處的立足點。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA56MwAISg
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUaCgTJPgs
一隻不存在的眼，彷彿正注視著自己。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq4GKsVe5X
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUhMVMAyoU
這是戰爭的「後遺症」，至少大家都是這麼說的。但對他而言，那正是讓他現在能夠站在此處的保命符。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreN13144Oe
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZihCXM5nfP
他的肌膚不受控制地泛起雞皮疙瘩——能夠看見他們所在之地的隱蔽處，太多太多了。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX4SR06PM9
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RUNca1oat
「羅特先生？」124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPndWMzaBL
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaPcpQETsJ
「別問了，荷布希。會分心。」他將燃燒一半的菸平放在一旁的水泥桶上，快步走到遠離窗邊的位置。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdlEQcBpiY
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1xx94OULo
隨後他迅速蹲下，從口袋拿出一張圖紙攤開——那是普朗頓工業區的平面地圖。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCYfNBwABB
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgW42oN88E
荷布希眨了眨眼，似乎在感應著背後的他的動作。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYeUopERUJ
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM7mwgx2YO
「告訴我妳『看見』的東西，從西南角開始。」羅特掏出一支筆，在地圖角落寫下註腳。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL7CGyMCY8
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7yBYbiuRG
「小路、隔間，任何房間、角落、人類和蟲族的痕跡，所有細節我都要知道。」124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmZvNg8FZN
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMAtLed84Z
「好的，羅特先生。」荷布希睜大了眼，眼周的黑色青筋凸起得更加猙獰，像一團擠壓散開的荊棘。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuoD6LFW6P
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLqfzThKvi
「西南，工廠 A1，一樓。二號機台，左側牆面的鐵門，有外力凹陷的痕跡……」她一字一句地說著，如同一台彙報數據的電腦儀器。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdHO24ieJx
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtymzZ3MVl
「二樓，走道，從右數來第四扇窗，破碎，由外向內……」124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQvDXDawAq
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35ss3T00dk
羅特趴在地上，隨著她的每句話音快速在地圖上寫下備註。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCwrk5vTjs
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AywkGo0wX
雨勢在風的吹拂下漸漸磅礡，將整個黑壓壓的維克瓦茲，蓋上一層朦朧不清的薄紗。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vm4LNqe1e
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI9ze3FFya
不絕於耳的嘩啦聲，彷彿要將一切在大雨的澆洗下沖刷殆盡。124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQmOC23zoc
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYc4eNYlVJ
就連那雙窺視的眼，也在雨霧的覆蓋下無聲消失於朦朧之中。1234 copyright protection120ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxhuH3fjiA 尼
