2161年2月19日，早上九點，仙境大樓，三層556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U7Ivu3mr1
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpnCrAONb0
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7elsgbMGm3
同一天的早晨，大西洋的另一端，里奧、葛蕾絲、李博洋、MIO、江云格、謝綠，六人聚集在三樓，討論他們新加入的成員。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffoo2QOFk9
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMWGUnjRNr
賴梓綾，主教賴霜原的三女兒，因為白化症被視為薩拉凱爾教的惡魔。被帶回仙境大樓後，她一直處於昏迷狀態，昨晚謝綠和葛蕾絲幫她洗了澡，此刻的賴梓綾躺在三樓的長沙發，蓋著一條暖和的被子。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUzU6MxqMO
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5xXxhfzpg
「我很困惑。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G9dPeJPYr
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIzpPfcikl
在旁照顧人的謝綠，手輕輕放在賴梓綾的被子上，問大家：「按照出生日期，她應該小我六歲，怎麼外表看起來比我年長？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX9YpYAr8c
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu5a5lkJJt
確實，賴梓綾的實際年齡只有八歲，卻有著高中生般的外表。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLsDlVt4nm
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkB7GTmvKa
坐在高腳椅上的李博洋表示：「我弟實際年齡只有十六，看起來也像二十幾歲呀。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIEcw4YmSk
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLmok3Ky3T
謝綠反駁：「因為他和MIO有過交換，那不一樣。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1I1SIDpYE
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz1lclkc5K
李博洋的視線移到謝綠旁的江云格，「云格實際年齡也不到十歲，還不是長這樣。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxh8TLON0G
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHGMTw8Gmp
江云格苦笑，「我是貓，不能用人類的方式計算年紀。」也想到：「會不會是因為水果塔？我記得，賴梓綾繼承的是睡鼠？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq7172vYSL
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGeYNKFvgz
「睡鼠……很少聽到的名字。」謝綠說出大家的心聲，她問里奧和葛蕾絲：「那是什麼樣的水果塔？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmryGEqtmmt
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf2xb6NGfP
「……。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYmJRcQ4ab
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2WGBjwTp1
只要妹妹在場，里奧幾乎不開口，葛蕾絲會幫他說話。這一次，葛蕾絲用奇怪的眼神看著里奧，好像在用眼神交流，思考該怎麼回答。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR3ArPQQDi
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIpcZl9prX
「第一代水果塔『睡鼠（The Dormouse）』，我們叫他小約翰（Yohanna），本名不清楚，只知道他姓賴。」葛蕾絲坐在另一張沙發，「他的水果塔叫『水晶』，顧名思義，是跟礦物有關的能力，他的身體由各式各樣的礦物組成。因為不是血肉之軀，小約翰的身體很硬、力氣很大，就算受傷，恢復速度也很快。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvHFb1UJln
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE43x2zGeT
謝綠問：「外表也不會因為年齡改變？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig4Ak94uAd
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeq64kD34M
葛蕾絲想了想，「好像是。我記憶中的小約翰，一直都是深藍色頭髮、綁著兩條辮子的小孩，外表很像女孩子。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv95ekQWGvo
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7nRf35EhP
謝綠發現葛蕾絲的口氣很奇怪，「葛蕾絲姊，妳是不是也不清楚？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTVrIOuPGO
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FxzdOOrLf
「哈哈，被發現了。」葛蕾絲尷尬一笑，「不只我們，大部分的第一代水果塔，都跟小約翰不熟。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva5J0UMF4K
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LxSOVComG
「媽媽的記憶裡也沒有他。」MIO坐在李博洋的大腿上，轉了轉黑色的眼珠，「不過，好像有一點點點點點點……印象，他是不是闖過禍？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpouYWhE9T
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgeS71qojT
「噢，妳指『都市氣爆案』嗎？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr7lsN9Aex
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcygbDH8WvC
MIO的話喚起葛蕾絲的回憶。江云格疑惑，「『都市氣爆案』？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44klAxrKLS
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrULgE7hug
「小約翰曾經毀掉一個都市。」葛蕾絲解答。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn53nS8RVAe
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQeeGNj4qT
「……這已經不是『闖禍』了。」李博洋傻眼，「小約翰這麼強？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHrKkHx4B2
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCAtyvB6Ky
「不，小約翰攻擊時，只能讓地板、牆壁長出一堆水晶柱。論一對一單挑，他的實力比不上其他人。」葛蕾絲附上但書：「但他的操控範圍，是第一代水果塔裡最廣的。當年他情緒失控，讓整個城市──包括地上、地下──全部佈滿他的水晶柱，引發大規模的氣爆和火災，死了好幾百人，最後是獅鷲出手揍他，才結束掉那場災難。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCemniyfX7q
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOehUKRxwco
葛蕾絲說，旁邊的里奧也被喚醒記憶。他那時收到高宇維的通知，然後李仲翔出現、用白色空間將他帶到現場。父親給他的任務只有一個：從火海中救出倖存者，救一個算一個。里奧穿梭在火焰中，空氣中瀰漫人被燒死的味道，還要防範四面八發的水晶，有的上面插著死人……天啊，真的是災難。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgB54GRBYeN
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd3gDHbzKt
「那之後，夏悠將小約翰交給李仲翔，也多虧他，小約翰沒有再失控，和李仲翔的感情非常好，大家都覺得很神奇。」葛蕾絲表示：「李仲翔是冷漠的人，但他對小約翰……怎麼說，溺愛嗎？小約翰每天黏著他，李仲翔也不覺得煩，還很疼他。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz9H5gZ0p2
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGgZWkInEH
「……只有李仲翔知道小約翰的本名。」里奧終於開口說話：「也因為李仲翔，小約翰是『白色仲夏』的一員，最後被獅鷲殺死。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRlfeTt1kW
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe5IazEybz
葛蕾絲嘆氣，「小約翰死後，李仲翔就瘋了。他很強，無論如何都能保持冷靜、作出正確的判斷；就算打不贏獅鷲，也不至於被殺。因為小約翰先死，李仲翔失去理智、喪失判斷能力，最後也被獅鷲殺了。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdZqcWH1KF
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCxB8NACYS
眾人陷入沉默。不管聽幾次，第一代水果塔的故事都是悲劇。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqvSesjq0z
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqwFvHLQKX
「我想，也是因為水果塔，賴梓綾才沒有外傷吧。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JbLDfhiu9
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lWonxRPOU
不喜歡沉默的葛蕾絲轉換話題。她用輕鬆的口氣說，試著緩和氣氛，「明明被殘忍對待，我和小綠幫她洗澡時，卻沒在她身上看到疤痕。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlAxNmWuTP
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuPMh6RbNc
「但賴梓綾會流血。」MIO舉手表示：「這跟小約翰又不一樣。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7vBk06qmn
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlM02VEPOF
「因為水果塔沒有完全覺醒。小約翰的身體由礦物組成，不吃東西也能活，但你們看，賴梓綾長期營養不良，瘦得只剩骨架，要是她的水果塔已經覺醒，不會有這種問題。」葛蕾絲再說：「賴梓綾體內的睡鼠，目前只有『恢復速度快』，其它有待觀察。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhrKrfKbrp
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPJ5oeWYdb
葛蕾絲說完，某人也來到三樓──剛睡醒的李晴煬突然走進來，MIO跟他說早安，李晴煬卻沒有回應。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx1mNhlAsl
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhTmXqbrkS
「弟弟？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW662h7d7Ef
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR77uwdQXUE
李博洋覺得奇怪。自己就算了，平常的李晴煬不會忽略MIO。不只沒回應，李晴煬的眼神、表情都異常呆滯，渾身散發的氣場很不對勁。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0g8GKLYV2
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCHX3UfL8t
「……！」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qKU2x24vd
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV7FBr0P0d
就在此時，沙發上的賴梓綾猛然睜開眼睛。謝綠正想關心她，賴梓綾卻把她的手打開，開始尖叫──556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMuFuNk8K3
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd1gIDvCul
「啊啊……啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！！！」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHQ7ub7DRi
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwEqABNQah
賴梓綾不會說話，看到人會本能性地發狂。她恐慌，她害怕，覺得所有人都會拿東西砍她的腳、刺她的身體、拔她的指甲，所以她拼命掙扎，推開謝綠，兩個人一起摔到地上。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH9ktqN2qX
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDQha2MTop
「小綠！」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO7C71ovSY
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EETLn18ik
江云格也上前，靠體型優勢抓住賴梓綾的手，但少女像一隻動物，竟然狠狠咬住江云格的手臂，逼得江云格不得不放開，被咬的地方當場流血。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMfodsBEHh
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp707drnlyZ
「啊！啊啊！啊啊啊啊！」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqit7JaRSDG
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nlREWrRZ2
賴梓綾失控，李博洋抱著MIO退到旁邊，目睹一切的葛蕾絲原本要出手，卻被里奧攔下。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eOLrScobS
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSPQp7jS5j
「哥，你幹嘛？」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwCU1dwwLi
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvcWbsFMC7
「噓。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4a1CmMezI
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6Wvx01ZkA
里奧叫葛蕾絲別出聲，眼神示意大家退到牆邊。此刻的賴梓綾彷彿一隻白色、有著紅眼睛的野獸，如今面對這頭野獸的，只剩李晴煬一人。
「啊啊！啊……啊啊啊……！」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDWWbBXB5o
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCHHeNSRY1
賴梓綾仍在吼叫，奇怪的是，原本全身緊繃、警戒四周的她，看見李晴煬的那一剎那，四肢漸漸放鬆，失控的情緒竟緩和下來。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u4Pckvq2y
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OAGUedS3p
「……。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKnunGcyhi
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4zRm33x4h
李晴煬依然面無表情。他看著賴梓綾，賴梓綾也看著他，兩雙紅色的眼睛對上彼此，然後，賴梓綾用那雙細細的手，撐起身子，慢慢站起來。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPs8CYOeyp
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyNd20GXc5
雖然身材消瘦，但賴梓綾站起來的瞬間，在場六人都嚇了一跳。上一秒是野獸，此刻閉上嘴巴、靜靜站在那裡時，他們才驚覺這是多麼漂亮的人──及腰的白色長髮，白雪般的肌膚，扇子般的白色睫毛，搭配一雙淺紅色的眼睛，好像從童話故事走出來的雪精靈。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV9tYcyj7K
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdmmbFHobh
「噢呀。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uhhAcMrm1
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDvbygTVPs
然後，賴梓綾緩緩地，朝李晴煬走去。她不會說話，但跟剛才的尖叫不同，她對著李晴煬、發出聲音：556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4edBUoCm4e
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71iYQkuodV
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydfWKbmP1s
「噢呀。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSlp0XmD7n
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPzNC2Dbtu
「噢呀……噢呀……！」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9SPaUvfnP
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzFGsvcNWH
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2O3OEMXvI
聲音有起伏、有語調，謝綠和江云格不知道，但MIO、李博洋、葛蕾絲、里奧四人，一聽就知道賴梓綾在說什麼。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7snEtyi2oO
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNelxbCRdSk
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrBT0RcGR9
「仲翔。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A7HqVo0O8
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehKUwTwIAh
他在叫他。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYcFqIafaF
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdA4KcYF7T
不是賴梓綾和李晴煬，是小約翰和李仲翔。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3BBdZZE3d
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmLEAXHOvD
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4Kmd7cQlV
「噢呀……！」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ymCfDGgSt
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ680ZSBykoY
賴梓綾伸出手，抓住李晴煬的衣服。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEGvKynoHX
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TnP1vgkHN
「嗚……噢呀……嗚嗚……！」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR4AaWC0Xk
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPB0sH9z44
她雙腿一軟、整個人跪到地上，眼淚莫名其妙流下來。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYQXUsPLdl
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzydzUxTwj5
賴梓綾開始哭，哭得非常、非常傷心。一直沒反應的李晴煬，突然彎下腰、單膝跪地，做出令人費解的舉動──他從口袋拿出刀子，讓賴梓綾拿著；再握住她的手，讓賴梓綾在他的食指劃上一刀，割出一個口子。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0WhiLjowQ
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BMGtZASan
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8tASu8xYo
「來。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLadAaFc4q
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt7DS35pTe
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj7dFNkKnP
李晴煬終於開口，但那個聲音不像他，李晴煬不會用夾帶氣音的方式說話。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJCkRHJ0wK
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9hzSp6qLg
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHW6qhPlMm
「這裡。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuY5K2aPj7
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3adtR9Wtnk
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVF5qc28OS
李晴煬將自己食指上的血，抹在賴梓綾的手上。他露出恐怖又溫柔的微笑，將賴梓綾沾滿血的手指放到自己嘴角，輕輕挪動賴梓綾的手指。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUaWxshGJ8
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwsAcPqcoL
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKjkCRTbyP
「沒錯，就是這樣。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwMCESl6xF
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwTDg8vxXX
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooEHUbLWNs
李晴煬對她說。賴梓綾停下眼淚，先看自己的手，再看李晴煬的臉……好像被引導到什麼之中，不用李晴煬幫忙，賴梓綾慢慢移動手指，彷彿，用血在李晴煬的臉上畫畫。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVUCGqSZkO
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CPKYaRl2s
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyxlu76k43
「只有你可以這麼做。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPlOfweWWV
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P6rCwuqlb
「只有你可以對我這麼做。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr3FlhSzSX
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ93RWuHhu
「我接受你對我這麼做。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTG8tkgPRI
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28bsgQOZGZ
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwvmLEdvfO
李晴煬一邊說，一邊笑，一邊睜大他的眼睛。血沿著嘴角往上畫，畫到左耳的耳根子邊。在場所有人都傻在原地，眼前的畫面太詭異、太奇怪、太……可怕，尤其是李晴煬的聲音，他的話有頭沒尾，令人毛骨悚然。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedpVfdKUbd
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI4must5o4
「哥，這是……」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDvR1xRim7
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDu7fi3iuD
「嗯。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsnu7yhjqL
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQlSiP145W
里奧和葛蕾絲看著兩人，眼前的畫面與一百年前重疊，李仲翔抓著小約翰的手，把自己的身體當成畫布，給小約翰作畫。556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQF6wjbzFP
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5Yt0F3qad
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H0Ig3ttbS
「這就是愛。」556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gHMb2lUM3
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANraGL3ovt
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndAHJKf4Xy
一百年前的李仲翔、一百年後的李晴煬，用很輕的聲音，告訴一百年前的小約翰、一百年後的賴梓綾：556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzl2WJ85es
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGUh4sbwUs
556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP88gLIsdHE
「這就是，你對我的愛。」
然後按「加至主畫面」
