主辦人──薩拉凱爾教教主致詞後，晚宴在七點準時開始。現場準備許多珍饈佳餚，世界最知名的樂隊在前方演奏，機器服務生送來各式各樣的美酒。原本以為是嚴肅的宴會，沒想到氣氛活潑，像屬於貴族的派對。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoacICmEiz5

「……。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos3B0L7L1S
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8nifCeqTP
不過，他現在很尷尬。謝賢讓他和謝綠獨處，顧爾不能在隨侍在旁。李晴煬和謝綠靠在牆邊，不知道要說什麼。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSiDR88wmU
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOuxr6fTtS

「觀自在菩薩。行深般若波羅蜜多時。照見五蘊皆空。度一切苦厄。舍利子。色不異空。空不異色。色即是空。空即是色……」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczgOz64T0s
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqawAHfLjiQ
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6x5hbdk10
和晚宴氣氛很不相符，他竟然從謝綠身上，聽到和尚誦經的聲音；因為太另類，李晴煬對她留下深刻的印象。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYahd4BgC1r
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJaDoqBd1u
而且，謝綠很漂亮──李晴煬無法否認，眼前的女孩讓他十分著迷，尤其是草綠色的眼睛。她渾身散發一個「靜」字，小小年紀，彷彿看透很多事。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeq9Fs5XRF
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPOBWYG9D6
「你是第一次參加？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxuq3TEAY8
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXwWzKFZds
李晴煬不知道怎麼開話題，謝綠率先開口，打破尷尬的氣氛。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3t3NujSFo
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XqukdXIbm
喝著專為小孩調配的無酒精雞尾酒，李晴煬回應：「嗯。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ea5SELBbG
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKODDxthas
「之前為什麼缺席？」謝綠單刀直入地問。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRSLNJBtzA
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iKCIceV5v
「討厭人多的地方。」李晴煬簡單回答。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2fldpNhXB
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SWVytQtn4
「今年又為什麼來？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEnlnz3WZf
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1tWTeqsOb
「見見世面。」李晴煬聳肩，「不能一直窩在家裡。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL59osuSox
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy62iwGxTb
謝綠沉默。李晴煬覺得剛才的氣氛不錯，換他問：「妳呢？每年都來？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QbwH6nYpH
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHFTU0dIGI
「八歲開始，這是第三次。」謝綠沒有逃避他的問題，老實回答。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg8u2ty5CH
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApeVlDoJ6O
「為什麼？」李晴煬看著謝綠厭世的臉，「妳不像喜歡這種場合的人。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThl8cbfiTj
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtK2mfLnig
「還能因為什麼？我是被拖來的。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlJDpt6pFh
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFKCdlnVC4
李晴煬聽見謝綠嘆氣的聲音。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jChMVAjDd
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAejguCeh0E
「在場的人，妳都認識嗎？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth1glIVCZR
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaIKcIbQZu
謝綠一定知道十大家族的事，李晴煬決定問問，以免氣氛又變尷尬。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVhDtlVVFb
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaUvv6RIBg
「大部分知道。」謝綠看向他，「你都不認識？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWOIfvQwR4
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoxgMpCOJ9
李晴煬點頭。謝綠沉默幾秒，「好吧。」帶李晴煬去角落，好一次看到全部的人。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitPmILIXM2
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLmpYwX1fl
「我一直很想問。」前往角落的路上，謝綠上上下下審視他一番，「李門的穿衣品味都這麼怪？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1figIZ0C0
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2avePwYfmS
李晴煬想回答「妳以為我願意嗎？」但不像自己會說的話，改用挑釁的語氣：「怎麼？本少爺這樣不好看？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe9HGb2ROK
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUeDZuso9a
「嗯。」謝綠秒答，補了句：「活像個娘炮。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSQOSPL9Kk
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquaBoYAxex
「娘炮」兩字像一隻箭，狠狠從李晴煬胸前穿了過去。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5aAve3h7A
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDIdYtor5c
「妳的穿衣品味才奇怪！哪有人古裝下面搭短裙！」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmyx9Kn1JX
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiORkckIVz
「比較好活動。」謝綠哼了一聲，「我父親都沒說什麼，你管那麼多幹嘛？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUTyvBxNzC
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyKR6HsUbl
「妳……！」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcLDIzsgt3
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9ISE5yU1a
「啊，這兒就行了，要從哪一家開始介紹呢……？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWsImXPXKe
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mCW9bPedr
謝綠規避掉話題。雖然表情不多、年紀又小，但她講話很不客氣，顯然沒在怕李晴煬。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHEYddeZ4i
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZdUoaNfQf
李晴煬撇了撇嘴，順著謝綠手指的方向看去──那群穿醫師袍的年輕人。李晴煬率先說：「希波克拉底一脈。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTBn0Whghy
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElMJkV5IU3
「你知道？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwywiJP3PXf
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4vpvCXmBf
「聽來的。」李晴煬說：「詳細不清楚。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z5XDLYEQr
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJXKqnjP24
「嗯，看來我高估你了。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg4BG56HLb
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPTbXJMgiX
李晴煬的嘴角抽動幾下。謝綠不理他，專心介紹：840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpJH0kG5FO
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhkNOmpNZp
「希波克拉底一脈，十大家族第九，擅長領域是醫學，家族成員都是醫生、藥劑師、法醫、醫檢師……全世界的醫院，背後的經營者都是他們。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FZqGrlimQ
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIIXhUMHGl
謝綠雙手環胸，用一種非常帥氣的姿勢，靠在牆上。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d77FlovU9
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEpGBLIoYH
「傳說他們的家族成員，全是古希臘時代的醫學大師──希波克拉底的後代。但年代久遠，沒有統一姓氏，才用祖先的名字統稱。」謝綠說。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR5KKullIA
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdvsxTOmQS
「他們平常都這樣，穿醫師袍晃來晃去？」李晴煬問。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq7Ruf36fw
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IgpZv4n6B
「每個家族都有自己的穿衣風格。希波克拉底一脈以醫生為榮，醫師袍是身分的象徵。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOEhTSHEgg
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBSTq4L7xB
謝綠的眼睛改看向另一群人。李晴煬順著她的視線看去──把滾筒衛生紙裹在身上的貴婦。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDcqWehgHB
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AT43zMBjE
「雷蒙一家。」謝綠說：「十大家族第八，時尚業的壟斷者。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf8ubrm07L
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3pfNcJCln
「時…時尚？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1Mjgv9vbV
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL3lrqLVGa
李晴煬挑眉。不只捲筒衛生紙，有人的髮型像花椰菜，有人的洋裝像菜瓜布，還有一個女人的披肩是黑色垃圾袋。時尚真難懂。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C6nm8D5kk
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qSkXMcEwx
「今年算收斂了。」謝綠看出李晴煬的疑惑，告訴他：「我去年，看過把色鉛筆插在頭上的。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8WwY2gOZm
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vA7JvOP79
「穿這種衣服還能笑……要是本少爺，恨不得死了個算了。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamDzIN6yLZ
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr3RgbD6Bz
李晴煬說完，聽見謝綠發出輕輕的笑聲。沒想到她會笑──李晴煬心想，心情不自覺好起來。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhNdqHIxYf
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr0O8Lc42U
「雷蒙一家旗下的品牌，從服裝到飾品，還有專門培訓藝人的經紀公司；另外，他們家的物流技術也很創新，不少零售店搶著和他們合作。」謝綠故意補充：「而且，他們家的人都很漂亮。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzzq32D7rz
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZyg5GHUIu
「……不把那身恐怖的衣服脫掉，本少爺無法體會。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQJp3FTa4P
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr71AY9Lwx
視線離開雷蒙一家，李晴煬改看向另一群──正在會場中央表演魔術、射飛鏢、拋彩球的馬戲團人士。晚宴的氣氛之所以活潑，都拜這群小丑所賜。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQLSN0ysHw
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ntw6y1EGF
「那又是誰？」李晴煬問謝綠。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADra435cmA
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvLuNCRSbz
「史密斯馬戲團，十大家族第七，慈善事業。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTmyxMMlt7
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr27AHSy0OT
謝綠說完，其中一名史密斯變出一堆彩色氣球，逗得周遭人笑聲不斷、表情又驚又喜。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtfeaEAABW
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvMHnSqfK7
「史密斯居無定所，他們在全世界巡迴演出，收入都拿去照顧弱勢，是聲望很高的家族，但也因為這樣，他們不是很富有。」謝綠說。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8ttzq2qvv
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRTlKCMBoi
「聽起來很偉大。」李晴煬附和。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHk0ETBa4w
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J016JlkF5
「坦白說，他們挺奇妙的。聖誕晚宴是史密斯少數參加的活動，其他正式場合，一概不參加。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v1eJmZka3
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg0ylQFQHo
介紹完，謝綠的手指向另一群人。李晴煬剛好想問，畢竟，他看那群光速戰士很久了。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w8iOq6Pb7
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdBFIw4z2y
「白與金，統稱Platinum。白家壟斷科技，金家壟斷軍火，兩家因為婚姻關係結合。十大家族第五和第六，是非常強的軍火聯盟，絕對不容小覷。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g4Mpqg6Ok
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtn6y3ymwE
李晴煬對他們的服裝更感興趣。謝氏像武俠小說的角色，Platinum則是遊戲，會發射高速激光的那種。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGouf6rU2e0
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuyeBDOEyD
「他們漂浮在空中？」李晴煬踮腳尖，試著看清楚。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7DsqMLiw4
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyYdlz7yRS
「嗯，他們腳底的投影圖騰，那是漂浮裝置。」謝綠說。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcKGa2TFbJ
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqXDBOFZld
「背上那又是什麼？翅膀？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU3dziypzK
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDeGWVy1oQ
「那也是投影，圖案會隨他們的情緒變化……你看，變成橘色了，那個人現在心情很好。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5UqlKQXLC
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVRyjttOTT
Platinum的穿衣風格非常前衛。移動時，兩腳懸浮在空中，衣服還會飄起來，浮空時的畫面很好看，但科技感太強，給人的感覺很不真實。明明是人類，卻把自己弄得像機器人。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GwtlKHavx
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv8QBLux6G
「黑色教袍的是薩拉凱爾教、十八世紀貴族打扮的是李門、像從漢朝穿越來的是謝氏……這些你都知道了。」謝綠把胸前的手放下來，看著李晴煬的臉，「還有不知道的嗎？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6qlbm8E6H
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S7OzMtn2j
「妳怎麼只介紹八個？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqK8okLaTi
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87h21VyEdQ
李晴煬發現，前後的高宇維與夏家，謝綠都沒有說。聽完他的問題，謝綠意味深長地陷入沉默，沉默持續了一陣子。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvoNTwxA29
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6z4hdeEL6
「沒介紹的兩家，都沒有出席。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYm20xRP4H
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0tF34ZWMo
不等李晴煬問，謝綠就告訴他：840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKquIPpcsC3
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dNZYfMq5H
「夏家……十大家族第十，是非常奇怪的家族。他們比高宇維還神秘，沒有人知道他們在做什麼、裡面有誰，連他們住在哪都不知道。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP5k5UCk5a
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KkPs6C5wO
「這樣也算十大家族？」李晴煬立刻問。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7W6qVZ1RQ
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26DH1If4E2
「我也不知道，但神秘歸神秘，他們也沒做什麼。」謝綠聳肩。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhkxZyJXDx
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYAyBBu2HK
「高宇維呢？」問完夏家，李晴煬再問另一個缺席者：「他這麼跩，這種場合都不來？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhITTsvMhiK
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPhM82NhUw
「別說『這種場合』，高宇維連自己的活動都不出席。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1bSsO5oos
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SEbvzQt4U
謝綠說，似是對高宇維的缺席見怪不怪。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET3rKHNUZH
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFPS2BfJed
「我不知道怎麼說，高宇維好像不喜歡其他家族，想和我們劃清關係，可是──」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfGl5AhwU5
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJqdL5pQuL
謝綠把話停在這兒。她的眼神突然變得十分銳利、似乎在警戒什麼。李晴煬順著她的視線看去，赫然對上一雙眼睛，嚇得他後退兩步。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Tcd12uDJO
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR84BkUcOPR
「……。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfAjF7xeZ6
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpkMO0SGb0
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouESDIBHfs
一名白色頭髮的男子，正從遠遠的地方看著他們。840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySh6K8iTIJ
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAAAhRRkkH
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGVV3kMFr6
男子是整個會場，唯一穿著正常西裝的人。他離李晴煬和謝綠很遠，但筆直的視線彷彿要把刺穿。李晴煬不自覺感到緊張，旁邊的謝綠瞪了回去，跟李晴煬說：840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwtcWrUEUd
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHjCnvkdqA
「可是今年，高宇維派他的親信來了。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVlxbx7JwB
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY9apffPmZ
謝綠不敢掉以輕心，就怕一不留神，男子會做出不利她的舉動。李晴煬問謝綠：「親信？」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHe7BgqBgp
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe79aVXuAdE
「對，親信──你聽過神與畜吧？他是第一幹部、地位僅次於高宇維。」840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeBhgapTtO
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0gpkuYipr
謝綠的雙刀已經蓄勢待發。她一手握住刀柄，說出那個禁忌的名字──840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSToVfO3rYk
840Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RLrWBVev9
「里奧．懷特。」8964 copyright protection836ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6162q8yCXz 維尼
