羅特推開一扇厚重的木門，發出沉悶的喀噠聲。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQhrVpGZJa
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9qh7OmnDF
這是位於高層區域的獨立辦公室，空氣不再是那種乾燥的紙張味，而是彌漫著菸草、皮革和權力的氣息。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JKrh7szib
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiOxmaLFCx
大片玻璃窗將秋日微弱的陽光引了進來，灑在深色的木桌和棕色的地毯上。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckmNqSzpax
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBi1B0nFHG
辦公室中央坐著一位身穿茶綠色制服，肩章圖樣與羅特截然不同的中年男子——維克多·科爾文，調查分局的情報總長。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoquFEt1IUJ
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtyuwrcUHP
他正低頭翻閱著一份薄薄的文件，桌上堆滿了印有「機密」字樣的檔案。即使調查局對外已去軍事化，高層依舊由戰時的上級軍官把持。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlVttCiKTZ
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBUilmg4cn
「長官。」羅特腰桿挺直，習慣性地雙手背後。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBPgObWch4
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r0BrrXshI
科爾文沒有抬頭，只是用指節輕扣著桌面，發出節奏沉重的聲響。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPDNIqB1WY
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhydCm9WOt
「提交報告的時間，要我講多少次？」他聲音低沉，像老舊的齒輪轉動。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbYNyBnChr
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjv9iRFfo8
「我在行動的隔天上交，符合內務事件的規定時間……」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4yCmjRo6p
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i9X3vvIrg
「下班前五分鐘？」他冷冷地說，低沉的聲音沒有一點起伏。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWYsq0J7u4
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGaeGut72t
羅特沉默不語，只是筆挺的背脊變得更加僵硬。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbITp07Xqt
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaJ2oWG80h
「過程呢？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DWbkenea1
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcax2BLZN6d
「瞬間制伏，長官。E014-M 的表現完美，行動快速、精準……」他刻意簡短彙報，將過程輕描淡寫地帶過。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFccIBzVacF
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGosnIubFv9
直至此時，科爾文才緩緩抬起頭，那雙老成而銳利的眼睛越過羅特肩頭，落在站在他身後的雪白身影上。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiZiFe0ayr
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rTEwbUpUn
「E014-M。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlTWMZepco
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKNV5UrJ0L
「長官。」荷布希向前一步，聲音一如既往的平靜。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzdKcJbBQ3
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv4XQeQl2y
科爾文審視著她，目光帶著一絲難以掩飾的厭惡和寒光。他桌上攤開的，正是前天行動的報告，上面印著 H071-M 被砸在牆上，水泥爆裂的照片。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ogRayCpfm
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIJiV0UIZ6
「妳知道妳對 H071-M 造成的傷害，已經超出『非致命手段』了嗎？那一拳，它差點就掛了。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNMDCjd6hW
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DinkhlwWv
「當時情況危急，我允許她對自身進行緊急防衛。」羅特搶在她之前開口。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lfkEN8IuR
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VRHvc7C09
「閉嘴，米勒上尉。」科爾文冷冷掃了他一眼，語氣是不容質疑的冷冽。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqvavYXFHu
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao2CPV54I2
「妳——E014-M，回答我。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJYvdxbswZ
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAdmx95gtL
荷布希的銀灰色眼睛鎖定著科爾文，觸角微微豎起。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m5OxlBnBf
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn7yAbzln3
「依照指令，我被允許採取不傷害任何人，並避免自己、還有調查員死亡的行為。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyrotzgWub
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gq5kjR1Ll
她停頓了一下，聲音沒有絲毫波瀾：「當時 H071-M 正用能殺死米勒調查員的速度飛來，我判斷優先採取保護調查員的行動，最小化損傷。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQZ1MloLMg
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLUotVPf53
「羅特，你教得很好，邏輯優先，是嗎？」科爾文似笑非笑地說。羅特分不清那是純粹的諷刺，還是另一種形式的試探。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXK8ENvEPn
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc7Rjo9V6o
「她是個體意識的覺醒者，長官。這是她經過獨立思考後的決策，我們應該為此驕傲。」羅特面不改色地回答。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5NdQOTTcy
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWfyc8NJPk
科爾文噗哧冷笑一聲，身體前傾：「獨立？你知道我們花了多少資源，才把一個野蠻的殺戮機器，訓練成一個能像人一樣擁有『理智』的東西嗎？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdMKha49JS
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaglpWFH3U
他猛地指向荷布希：「它是成功的進化體，但它仍是財產。它知道什麼是『個體意識』，但永遠不會有『自由意志』，它只是個蟲族。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVE1Metg9P
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92trNtrpNE
羅特默不作聲，只是深深地吸了口氣。科爾文停頓片刻，隨後將目光轉回，語氣重新變得克制。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMzoGomWDb
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30nJmjsY8n
「罷了，檔案庫的損失我會找人去處理。我找你們來，是要給你們新的任務。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1mog7HrBO
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTZT7kvj1h
他輕推桌上另一份敞開的文件夾，那是一份附有照片、封面印著大大「機密」字樣的檔案。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrAlskFNmj
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vX2qb0UEm
照片上，一具中年男性的屍體躺在中央，乾枯的血跡染紅磁磚地面，四周是警方畫上的白線，以及寫有數字的亮色標號牌。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6su7PF1Ax
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RGGrY5PVT
「兇殺……」荷布希眼神發直，漏出一絲微弱的聲響。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTrpIEsssA
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3pER6caY1
「這是今天清晨五點發現的命案，事發時間推估在昨天深夜。」科爾文聲音低沉，手肘撐著桌面，雙手交握說道：「目前作案方式已經確定，是一般兇殺手法，沒有兇器。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwheSHKSbLv
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtznUBSWR52
「既然如此，為何不交給那些警官就好？」羅特向前兩步，低頭檢視檔案。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0xl66As8V
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYwkQPmtj5
「我們在現場附近發現這個。」科爾文翻開下一頁，照片上是一塊掉落地上的黑色碎片，細微的黑色粉末散落在一旁。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ11Dq5JAwV
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjw1gHb3wa
那是但凡參加過戰爭的老兵，都能一眼認出的東西。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7zqWn75aw
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ812Nxn6TC
「蟲族……」羅特的心臟猛地一沉。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hGjEyzkcY
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKRX5qzkDJ
「人的手法、蟲族的痕跡，應該不用我解釋了吧？」科爾文合起檔案，將其推至羅特手上。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tdHP0Zl6i
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkdeGGDxck
「地點在西北的外區——維克瓦茲。這是場潛在的高風險任務，就交給你了，羅特·米勒調查員。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifoFwhR8WW
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3g2Cc6FnB
他用嚴肅又帶有施壓的氣場說道：「帶上你的『工具』，明天上午十一時前到維克瓦茲地檢署，和案件負責人『克萊爾·夏伊勒』檢察官會面。注意舉止，不准遲到。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhMmz2q8jc
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmjbBuNp9x
「找出兇手並制伏，是蛾種再擅長不過的事了吧？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCkRxLuDyn
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho3v8qAR6Z
「是，長官。」羅特雙手背後，站姿筆挺地說。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCdXRp0tcu
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaDlAc9lck
外區、兇殺案、半人半蟲的詭譎線索……突如其來的資訊像匆匆灌入思緒的潮水，令他下意識攥緊手中的檔案。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgLciexTzI
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH3G0Ib2na
「對了。」在他離開辦公室前，科爾文還不忘叫住他。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHGUcrbwjj
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdE5hXlEJ4
「這是你們的第一個 A 級任務……可別死掉了，羅特。」
那一字一句，如寒冷的霧氣繚繞耳邊，他點頭答應，關起了比空氣更加沉重的木製房門。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreqWaPL2A7
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5YBU6cY6q
陽光斜照在走廊的窗，透出朦朧的光暈，連偶爾三兩經過的職員都淡得像一抹青煙。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubAqcqbNC3
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuKpmvYlms
「你在緊張嗎？」荷布希的聲音如同洞穿霧氣的一股冷風。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9Xshdff0p
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuP00NGdEJ
「現在的線索太有限了，兇手可能是人類，可能是半蟲族或是新蟲族，也可能是蟻種到蠍種都有可能……」羅特不假思索地回答道，語速要比平時快上不少。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY7Yr9HyQx
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxDPWgaRCd
荷布希靜靜聆聽，像個等待指令的機器，沒有插話，也沒有多餘的反應。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShdDGl0nXl
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy8wosK30i
「我是指……對，我是有點緊張。」他嘆了口氣說。
在蟲族面前，那些拐彎抹角的話語似乎也沒有什麼太大的意義。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SGJt2k9mp
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHwY76S11l
「我不會讓你死掉的。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJMPaipJeN
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKoiTFQXMb
她聲音很淡，淡得不像經過心眼，也淡得不像承諾時的堅決。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1ol22dds9
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsFzl4AlZW
但無論如何，這讓羅特愣了一瞬，不禁停下了腳步。他轉頭看向一旁的少女，那宛如止水的面龐依然靜得沒有一絲波動可尋。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJMcULeTUu
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtyBl5JEXT
「我也不會。」他淡淡回覆一句，起步轉進了走廊盡頭的隔間。96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq2XxZLv2G
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjyuhjF8lM
就她那副樣子，他想他大概永遠都無法窺見，那雙銀色眼睛下真正的想法了吧？96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0K2Fu8ULG
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6kiaAdCs6
「妳跟進來幹嘛？這是男廁。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8JM7NIOUk
「對不起。」
