2161年2月21日，下午七點，卡洛爾大廈456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEwExZlvc6
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmO4cCzT2v
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtwFOefgQd
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsM9lsPjjh
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwknj85YAD
「你們想知道哪一方面？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2wGbWH7KQ
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU43fp6SJ61
艾莉絲問他們。謝綠貪心地回答：「全部，我受夠一知半解了。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3pFz0CxJk
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwh0HtCKdI
「……。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9icztnktN
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N3Hmygm1p
「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。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOdmYwMXNO
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwpPPAl13q
「……。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaCZrjmwsI
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfANoktDlG
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ9rvIPLEL
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35SrvE8gPe
「怎麼了？」謝綠覺得她的視線很奇怪。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVL4EVD5FH
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqEfegaAur
「不，沒什麼。」艾莉絲小聲地說：「原來妳的眼睛是這樣。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k3MMAC5zQ
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYP2ZLNXXg
「……？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qyv1YrizP
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMwOfbTlCi
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10DGHOuf5D
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAqtfHJgCm
「羅琳娜就是水果塔。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LZJh5tfgD
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH9VqD1Bt1
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。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCm9FlcXUc
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2mEAvYSkA
「照理說？」江云格聽到關鍵字。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvgcwG2vgz
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAilreS85f4
「白絃正在衰弱。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvd2vbzF6y
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMUo6a1XLV
艾莉絲用別的稱呼，以此區分白絃的多重身份。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡija4Ob6kVe
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjNRJ7EHpx
「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。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGeFEAeLbB
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWygkmTNIP
「什麼機會？」謝綠問。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCODNQiPVmR
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyPoc1k9PZ
「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……」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YCdbG1gbt
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC0yVv5IK4
艾莉絲突然打住，冰冷的表情難得，出現類似困惑的情緒。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr2U8VZpgv
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KJXZXncpy
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMqHEpwqxb
「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。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY34MD6plZ
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO9NFOTUG3
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFTckte3sE
「……？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJNf3Bszos
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGq6AFzRcc
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1aohWuukC
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry16jgzsWD
「『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？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRlEnrLTa7
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiejMplOQJ
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？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp6uOEeg5k
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusJrSZ4CO3
「白絃也是這麼說。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNHp7kYZBT
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mduvDUGVS
艾莉絲抬頭，盯著天花板的一個點。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzs5JGrWQS
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoJRyPbpmo
「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。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC1TKekjIG
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGNdifKYzF
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZobG6hX2C
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLPqaqvFOH
「宇維少爺，一定還有沒打出來的牌，只是我們不知道。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTj9uLdu8o
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBvqcoWZfy
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhicYggcAFF
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam5JVGgr2u
「作為艾莉絲，妳不會想做什麼嗎？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrMtHKBTZb
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQwiVQEbqd
謝綠突然問，艾莉絲難得眨眼，似乎不明白她在問什麼。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaapB7hAMSc
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfDG0K57Tv
「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？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IXrtnlNfJ
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD3w6goaoz
「……。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfisl7ucz4
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BgMsvPjyW
艾莉絲低頭。她沉默很久，才緩緩開口：「我隨時都會被取代。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡded5PZvoYA
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡramgnCg5B8
「什麼？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn27bIY2WQf
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUKqfgGf61
「說故事的人是羅琳娜，不是我。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxWXlhnM4V
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA9fjSVely
艾莉絲喝了一口拿鐵，今天的第五杯。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTXqhxOIzf
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAR7plOLvO
「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。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMXLch5BE4
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8lrzwY4Sa
艾莉絲閉上眼睛。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7CLBWJCAN
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8R4vSGL3B
「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。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI598SuI27b
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLW4zUjtrN
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs2KSU5R8J
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BA2Hkonin
「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？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW2eRuaLkR
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB0J3uiqJt
「……。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH7xLzAlhI
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g9jlIVxoU
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLuXKUqUM9
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBkgYxuOYu
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0pysGhN5U
「沙利葉。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo9TCpgZHw
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD83s4GP20
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo2V5iOaAU
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H9hopL7aN
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95Vz10NwKo
「羅琳娜，死於，沙利葉。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTzvYEIB00
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eNF1rNXlA
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPmy5iFhnE
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85pQ6jwSu8
「沙利葉……」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6wq7p4Roh
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuWhVCBYAf
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkRsbgZ64X
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXEBemxx7R
「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？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Di1oWlRrH
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvwJQXEFhN
謝綠也問：「沙利葉到底是誰，羅琳娜為什麼會死於沙利葉？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzEELTczHg
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc2KtkKZ0t
艾莉絲陷入沉思。這時，賴梓綾又開口：「利維坦。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotBV4kUdRG
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm5WUKgSZB
「……？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8OrWABBqc
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xYsMTPwKV
「沙利葉，回來。」賴梓綾斷斷續續地說：「和，利維坦，一起回來。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtkgkCrZci
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCUzr0gKOP
「……！」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5Dg3Kog9G
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJaUZ9t6AU
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGMlRQPUIz
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwIeNIGrPO
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiF4ezMyX9
「我想，小約翰所說的『沙利葉』，就是蜘蛛。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP251KMrjd
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37N2oRUrbP
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXIFcG59Hn
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？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSL1enwq9W
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nhxl243eE
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAv6vFSjHM
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNl28DtRA4
「瘋帽，沒有跟你們說嗎？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1C8XKv5MO
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaV62YMC5S
艾莉絲停頓，一字一句，說出令人震驚的事實──456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV5hUOKcCj
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXCsrR8625
「蜘蛛不只一個。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1yuzOdtFP
