2161年2月21日，下午七點，卡洛爾大廈450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdXf9DQwaZ
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBekKrJUSaO
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX3OrleZES
李晴煬在書房，與此同時，謝綠、江云格、賴梓綾三人，在客廳與艾莉絲一起，詢問有關羅琳娜的事。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSs6yTsvD6
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxPycdCdvu
「你們想知道哪一方面？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV5RlkusBC
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5pbeNZIs3
艾莉絲問他們。謝綠貪心地回答：「全部，我受夠一知半解了。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafCgDttDwN
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pmifUl1mq
「……。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI22uohgFrh
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCqoTERtUP
「我要知道全部，還有──」謝綠表示：「宇維少爺和獅鷲，這兩方究竟想做什麼、該怎麼阻止，我也必須知道。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n4hsVYkEK
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg4XdmBpS7
「……。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7cBc79K24
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx9R93vUx3
艾莉絲突然不說話，漆黑的眼珠凝視著謝綠的臉，尤其是她的草綠色眼睛。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxEqcZ25BM
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdb0aHZSry
「怎麼了？」謝綠覺得她的視線很奇怪。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F54nuLAGT
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzldPulIu4
「不，沒什麼。」艾莉絲小聲地說：「原來妳的眼睛是這樣。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmYYzLOuVJ
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9pwQTszMH
「……？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo0y71yBWd
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlCI5uL9kx
艾莉絲講得很小聲，還是被聽力極好的江云格聽見。他不知道艾莉絲在說什麼，艾莉絲也立刻轉移話題，江云格沒辦法問。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3eqnt3M4Y
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysQTXwhXD2
「羅琳娜就是水果塔。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7ymDYnZgM
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8BcE5BF3E
艾莉絲兩手交疊，放在腿上，心平氣和地說：「她擁有每一種水果塔，也能使用每一種水果塔──照理說是這樣。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoac4xtD1gW
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbY0qRUlKc
「照理說？」江云格聽到關鍵字。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELkZL86sRq
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaFG22I02N
「白絃正在衰弱。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFIIwctw2F
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmiUBZgwQC
艾莉絲用別的稱呼，以此區分白絃的多重身份。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1axl5DxGxZ
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49poKCZyQ8
「白絃體內，屬於『羅琳娜』的力量在不斷流失，正退化成第一代水果塔『獅鷲』──這對艾莉絲體系十分不利，我們將失去對抗蜘蛛的最大戰力，但白絃的衰弱，是瘋帽的一大機會。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6I4b5Z57f
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvc2ssR5kQ
「什麼機會？」謝綠問。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeV0NQnTqt
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3hA3Xs2dT
「讓李仲翔回來。」艾莉絲回答：「李仲翔當年會死，因為他面對的不只是『獅鷲』，而是『羅琳娜』；一旦李仲翔透過李晴煬的身體歸來，衰弱的白絃無法對抗完整的紅心傑克，然後……」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45ETTTUBML
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoT7TX33R0
艾莉絲突然打住，冰冷的表情難得，出現類似困惑的情緒。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUrxOkzFDF
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxIa3mCBeC
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXQ2jMvqmL
「李仲翔會找到我、利用共鳴，喚醒當年的夏悠。『夏悠透過現在的艾莉絲歸來，與所有水果塔共鳴、重振艾莉絲體系』──以此撕毀《羅琳娜條約》，是瘋帽的最終目的。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPGI3HIidG
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHtgOJkc7P
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkoEqVVMmE
「……？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe5JrsaIxa
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfTkMWNrq7
聽到這，謝綠和江云格理解，為什麼艾莉絲會感到困惑。言下之意，高宇維計畫的關鍵，除了李晴煬，另一個就是艾莉絲。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvqzxCwIWn
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspg4HA6PyR
「『只要李仲翔回來，妳就會變成夏悠』──為什麼宇維少爺如此篤定？這件事的成功機率，是百分之百嗎？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTiWeyq8Tm
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiMqTgq9k8
謝綠看著艾莉絲，「妳有夏悠的外表、身份、記憶，但妳不是她，妳根本不認識李仲翔，怎麼會被他影響？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgh5XMNLr2R
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKfW9HPLXi
「白絃也是這麼說。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOPMW3NOzY
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4uNbtAjaX
艾莉絲抬頭，盯著天花板的一個點。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q01Ob5MNr
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOdOLYJd0r
「對我而言，夏悠的記憶像電影，我只是看電影的觀眾，不是主角。我好奇白絃和李仲翔、也會感到熟悉，但我沒有夏悠的感情；之於『我』，他們只是艾莉絲體系的兩個人，我和他們沒有感情基礎，所以我不明白。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKAbCNL3vo
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbktaezak3
高宇維和白絃，兩人都認為對方會失敗，因為他們掌握的關鍵截然相反──高宇維相信夏悠會回來，白絃不是。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl2vm2Zy1o
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX4DxFk2bU
「宇維少爺，一定還有沒打出來的牌，只是我們不知道。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3UiiTsn7f
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNgJsZrAKs
江云格思索。高宇維這些年的重心，都放在李晴煬、神與畜、十大家族，很少提到艾莉絲；可見在他的認定，艾莉絲的事情非但不急，還不擔心白絃從中做艮。按高宇維的個性，把一件重要的事放著不管，他肯定很有把握。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H5I4uDLIW
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpOfX0mAlf
「作為艾莉絲，妳不會想做什麼嗎？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2Pwm7t6UD
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnKRb1F3UX
謝綠突然問，艾莉絲難得眨眼，似乎不明白她在問什麼。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeNTdsRj20
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nSYgQYlLO
「雖然被《羅琳娜條約》削弱權力，但之前做錯事的是夏悠，不是妳；夏悠犯下的罪，其實不用妳承擔。」謝綠表示：「什麼也不做，任憑宇維少爺和白絃左右自己。身為艾莉絲，妳不會不甘心嗎？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR3FqNB4DS
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLWZOcKHF4
「……。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAaadwOosy
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsJmpB2vHO
艾莉絲低頭。她沉默很久，才緩緩開口：「我隨時都會被取代。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAuc0kDV4K
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuN4nNgc4l
「什麼？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxSFi2Ydmw
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl05Uk7U9dQ
「說故事的人是羅琳娜，不是我。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtonkVca32q
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfO1ghbWsS
艾莉絲喝了一口拿鐵，今天的第五杯。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGi4kj0iXD
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8zrH9RK1J
「夏悠死了，羅琳娜沒有讓一切結束，而是創造新的艾莉絲、建立十大家族，確保水果塔被一代代傳承；沒有繼承人的水果塔，就用人造人去彌補。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivGcm8gEUH
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj2UYigR5l
艾莉絲閉上眼睛。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzGGmoN7xp
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2LwiD8CbG
「我們，都是白絃保存回憶的一部分。她希望艾莉絲體系繼續存在，這樣，第一代水果塔的故事就不會結束。夏悠不能回來，但她和夏悠的回憶，白絃不想讓它消失，所以羅琳娜讓我們在這──在沒有夏悠的艾莉絲體系──延續水果塔的故事，保存她的回憶。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cxHERJB9l
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXozxetB7J
艾莉絲看著他們，尤其是謝綠。江云格發現，艾莉絲看謝綠的眼神一直很怪。雖然不明顯，但那雙漆黑的眼珠，蘊藏很多情緒。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57Q4CvZK7j
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs5U3tquir
「瘋帽也不希望故事結束，這點，他和羅琳娜有相同的共識，所以他們給我這棟大樓，既是保護我，也是監視我；如果我做出不符合『艾莉絲』的舉動，羅琳娜會將我破壞。既然隨時會被取代，『我』的存在有什麼意義？既然沒有意義，『我』維持現狀或變成夏悠，又有什麼區別？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq8JRUO6Ab
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4yTzp3eAL
「……。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32MhfccbzM
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7CUYAiVqt
她不是「什麼都沒做」，而是「什麼都做不了」。身居高位，虛位元首；身而為王，君權神授。她無法對抗高宇維，也無法違抗羅琳娜。被命運囚禁的，除了水果塔後代，還有「偉大的」艾莉絲。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfxgnBnXda
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvubwG7mF6
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc2dAZfJz8
「沙利葉。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo2XIpjkDF
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeApidj1Xe
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt84jfE9Gsy
突然，沒聽過的聲音加入談話。艾莉絲、謝綠、江云格轉頭，看向一直坐在旁邊，默默聽他們對話的賴梓綾。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtoZgzYxiI
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb5DVCESND
「羅琳娜，死於，沙利葉。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡximOmFuKfa
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveZX6UFDhT
這是賴梓綾講過最完整的句子。江云格和謝綠這才想起，筆記本最後一章的內容，就是這一句。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc6EpDbux2
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lGV6CtlTx
「沙利葉……」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCpntwR0JW
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4n6S8L5M8
艾莉絲覆誦。她有夏悠的記憶，知道筆記本的內容，但太久沒聽到這個詞，一時覺得陌生。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVogAZGhuyG
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSbiDbWTfH
「我記得，沙利葉是薩拉凱爾教的核心，被稱作『月之天使』。」江云格問艾莉絲：「為什麼薩拉凱爾教的傳說，會和艾莉絲體系扯上關係？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWKm43OAr2
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjUYz2uKFt
謝綠也問：「沙利葉到底是誰，羅琳娜為什麼會死於沙利葉？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqjGmxrilF
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiHKx2yoSY
艾莉絲陷入沉思。這時，賴梓綾又開口：「利維坦。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiblmlUY37
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1LKVkp8Au
「……？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oc1NfEXoZ
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItJAGjx6sU
「沙利葉，回來。」賴梓綾斷斷續續地說：「和，利維坦，一起回來。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFGSgvDq0g
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGUWFzIT8f
「……！」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8taIKy22u
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx2TOeDzyw
大家都不知道她在說什麼，但賴梓綾的話，似乎讓艾莉絲想到什麼。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB5IWnXe8x
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuRJ8EYalr
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxlmpTmgQS
「我想，小約翰所說的『沙利葉』，就是蜘蛛。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP7JmvQGV5
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W4mgMzx8q
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6ASPwUlUC
艾莉絲說出她認為的答案，但這答案，讓謝綠和江云格感到十分震驚。謝綠問艾莉絲：「紅鶴就是沙利葉，他能殺死羅琳娜？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuITh2JXgG
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIJKEEr9FZ
聽到謝綠的問題，艾莉絲難得出現表情。她用介於困惑和驚訝之間的眼神，看著謝綠和江云格。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYYImlRuos
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1HvJtrEO9
「瘋帽，沒有跟你們說嗎？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PRpBeOoxu
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTUHD2wLKL
艾莉絲停頓，一字一句，說出令人震驚的事實──450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYwyNv8JDv
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoV9IyshiN
「蜘蛛不只一個。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpyTXwqa7T
