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。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8jRI6T89c

「……。」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hTJfiJo3m
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclacaQ0nZL
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。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp24Pm0fsV

「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……」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vJU46k8qf
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaiNdKSPpG
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E1jf1zGAw
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。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF1MHMI9hT
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHqx6XqhdH
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。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTAPpaRu7D
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDVO6u4nBZ
「你是第一次參加？」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbhZEApLOg
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlOjGArxIY
李晴煬不知道怎麼開話題，謝綠率先開口，打破尷尬的氣氛。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlc4sTPvYM
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaUVxR1EnS
喝著專為小孩調配的無酒精雞尾酒，李晴煬回應：「嗯。」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXQEY2b0IZ
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVTWiQtryb
「之前為什麼缺席？」謝綠單刀直入地問。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKykSvcvqtl
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs6IlDHIH3
「討厭人多的地方。」李晴煬簡單回答。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu91P2G4QQx
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVXPIqtM4T
「今年又為什麼來？」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLvf6znAfw
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe3NeRqx2W
「見見世面。」李晴煬聳肩，「不能一直窩在家裡。」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEBnaxn8C5
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYomk5NbW0l
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？」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMfjxP3VHi
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo5yeFON0B
「八歲開始，這是第三次。」謝綠沒有逃避他的問題，老實回答。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAyeWslwcB
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAI5CKvGU8
「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。」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8c6k7mCUu
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9hKP5NylW
「還能因為什麼？我是被拖來的。」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWACH3TuBOu
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG4u4Xs4BN
李晴煬聽見謝綠嘆氣的聲音。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK4xqCgLrn
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHVt75gdme
「在場的人，妳都認識嗎？」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahCrafBx2a
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxk8t9zY1c
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。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvGPGMTFfO
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OI0jzH83g
「大部分知道。」謝綠看向他，「你都不認識？」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzrKnpnRv0
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzcTis5hNO
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。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnHo9wOa3K
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFxHrAFCLf
「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？」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX79Y3m0Mxt
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO4uF8WgqJ
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？」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6lxluwzaH
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL7YIEykWk
「嗯。」謝綠秒答，補了句：「活像個娘炮。」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXvWUbEtue
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKfvEMNacx
「娘炮」兩字像一隻箭，狠狠從李晴煬胸前穿了過去。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqFQAiBB4i
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eIRiMP3wK
「妳的穿衣品味才奇怪！哪有人古裝下面搭短裙！」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsW9BovqPG
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxr0el0oQr
「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？」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6BULtUWbS
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqm6ihO0YC
「妳……！」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4zv7zQGBx
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYA8ZlOwfo
「啊，這兒就行了，要從哪一家開始介紹呢……？」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34MdVWJw15
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTmdYITWiZ
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。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51zI0L4eVE
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNBGNpdF4y
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。」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6OWkz2iGM
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUEKZqtdWW
「你知道？」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAUeReix5g
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqDJzgFCgb
「聽來的。」李晴煬說：「詳細不清楚。」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3itbm45CoB
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbveTLTh4A
「嗯，看來我高估你了。」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKKm6tH4IH
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVk4hNAjTm
李晴煬的嘴角抽動幾下。謝綠不理他，專心介紹：796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsW1IRHV58
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP5Nd4kevq
「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。」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwNAei2nnw
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQx4RXtxWS
謝綠雙手環胸，用一種非常帥氣的姿勢，靠在牆上。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJSVXNSDyL
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlywzzV3TPs
「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。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC9eGuL8vF
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eFcYAjjVW
「他們平常都這樣，穿醫師袍晃來晃去？」李晴煬問。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXTB6vxSWm
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PUvfNkWNX
「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。」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEPr8U0pxz
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqJyRo1GhO
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。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWPldGCq26
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVwKoWCe1S
「雷蒙一家。」謝綠說：「十大家族第八，時尚業的壟斷者。」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIBEvZczU7
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4sZRa872X
「時…時尚？」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCLehEzDYr
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWOudRsdrD
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。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUJ4faNlUh
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqvzE0BANq
「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。」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtb2womTVf
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpV45ukY9M
「穿這種衣服還能笑……要是本少爺，恨不得死了個算了。」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSQwHC6v4m
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUhK5IfKOk
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。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmIbdc57s9
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVwo5F0DYN
「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。」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjZI59bht7
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoQJKxOycI
「……不把那身恐怖的衣服脫掉，本少爺無法體會。」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U7L7Y8fBq
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rtsvAQvW5
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。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxfQzuutnd
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1RAciwnu1
「那又是誰？」李晴煬問謝綠。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMxOJaza2f
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0jTVEX8EX
「史密斯馬戲團，十大家族第七，慈善事業。」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdAHyBKXAn
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0Xt2PD0fm
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。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BWc0Cyp7u
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEC0fuae3i
「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。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOM0bzj1Wv
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCGSMHcMYm
「聽起來很偉大。」李晴煬附和。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhLa7Cb25U
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMjgCjFy7n
「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。」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGhu3ZDrX4
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZggh0REv4n
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。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbzEVzWFwJ
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmYW6Pa1yA
「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。」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObqFb37dNZ
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9smUXoW3H6
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。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXC1FdkIvN
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy3yxEOnIS
「他們漂浮在空中？」李晴煬踮腳尖，試著看清楚。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6mZp2J2RP
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeObHdWUTh
「嗯，他們腳底的投影圖騰，那是漂浮裝置。」謝綠說。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIJvovJo0r
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pr4yt5hG0
「背上那又是什麼？翅膀？」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt8k8XZpKw
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ924niH4sUI
「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。」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzK455kDr8N
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SqJifTwsG
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。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bv2SOQ7MD
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpkXrkBHcA
「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？」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTUadA23mT
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7gQgXXWNR
「妳怎麼只介紹八個？」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mwIK8flRx
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVZTQyFb9s
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。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXe9SVSRHS
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XN9e0No98
「沒介紹的兩家，都沒有出席。」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SxjKdSAgI
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGlZut9neB
不等李晴煬問，謝綠就告訴他：796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiyHkLK6qj
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg87Wumn0h
「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。」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJEOiYEYMr
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1mQkN7Uiz
「這樣也算十大家族？」李晴煬立刻問。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8aAhL3E5q
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiG01pxh5Q
「我也不知道，但神秘歸神秘，他們也沒做什麼。」謝綠聳肩。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvGMCIK1Zl
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bDKKBsCKa
「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？」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0hwRbsmHa
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkMZst8TC2
「別說『這種場合』，高宇維連自己的活動都不出席。」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8mL4gh8Si
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EVip8MAc9
謝綠說，似是對高宇維的缺席見怪不怪。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5PvDTz86y
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKPOdbycy9
「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──」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazdpE22lDO
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2MdwIkkSC
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。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpBgRuSGP1
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmng1AGCi3W
「……。」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjAWmbAAcw
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPfWqpiEwG
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50PbVfSOvW
一名白色頭髮的男子，正從遠遠的地方看著他們。796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomEP3DarXE
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl1KzYIg8M
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8SKifse2Y
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：796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlybc3b03a
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIq1WwULuG
「可是今年，高宇維派他的親信來了。」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ2L9mMfXc
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54ggKtHh24
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？」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU9B4eTvMu
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtaS8tpv98
「對，親信──你聽過神與畜吧？他是第一幹部、地位僅次於高宇維。」796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27CTdpxohD
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZy7fgaxBG
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──796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlwjkEggJn
796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MFlfj4zeb
「里奧．懷特。」8964 copyright protection792ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6aZ98Wnio 維尼
