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。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h2vsvVV2w
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMDEGvhkh6
「……。」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wbZM0sPPh
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0iGeJiBBP
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。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSbpj11vzL
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXziJxCxfXa
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00eRpFoH1Z
「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……」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMOThKhgjk
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnFLDHNsEl
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwOAV2YFVa
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。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoZlnazgUy
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27uuxD6WeS
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。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSYnwFjSCc
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3t7Bfhyoo
「你是第一次參加？」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXHut9cHg2
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHv41r38r7
李晴煬不知道怎麼開話題，謝綠率先開口，打破尷尬的氣氛。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut7NVO7Hj0
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt18WNymDs
喝著專為小孩調配的無酒精雞尾酒，李晴煬回應：「嗯。」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSMeSAxN2U
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNaFh6XBLu
「之前為什麼缺席？」謝綠單刀直入地問。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7adGkUDHiF
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI3b0KQgGD
「討厭人多的地方。」李晴煬簡單回答。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W1uBhv4wQ
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoZv6xbo4j
「今年又為什麼來？」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WJZEytsI3
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe99BaN2BDC
「見見世面。」李晴煬聳肩，「不能一直窩在家裡。」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yIAnIsjvZ
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsFODFEWXc
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？」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcKjFuIlrK
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtKJJ1DBDD
「八歲開始，這是第三次。」謝綠沒有逃避他的問題，老實回答。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwWzUoUy8G
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0Qj0TrUTT
「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。」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6S4TC1B7c
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11mhQzK8nP
「還能因為什麼？我是被拖來的。」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBXvrkiFx9
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8tPvlQf0W
李晴煬聽見謝綠嘆氣的聲音。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4T7cuWhcP
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti33gl9sZS
「在場的人，妳都認識嗎？」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF4sKNWfJj
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvCgUDQMi7
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。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeyVEVelPf
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgYafsrbAS
「大部分知道。」謝綠看向他，「你都不認識？」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O9IOcKyyt
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8jhF3FPdt
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。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEtJGz4Oyu
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIgRu1PO74
「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？」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMIUWEkjKb
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZdbHvi4jh
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？」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW12XKYzOG
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkQmdRopFy
「嗯。」謝綠秒答，補了句：「活像個娘炮。」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8go2m8yv7
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeroAch3m4X
「娘炮」兩字像一隻箭，狠狠從李晴煬胸前穿了過去。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCIO1xbZmt
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu9zxzOt6K
「妳的穿衣品味才奇怪！哪有人古裝下面搭短裙！」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f843DQt59
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIltX6wfucU
「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？」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vGC4L3COr
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5lPnaKqct
「妳……！」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMRNHPBvgP
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2UdZWVaa2
「啊，這兒就行了，要從哪一家開始介紹呢……？」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsxwiQ3cXI
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVgqqJUc2U
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。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYZ3uJRz8Q
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGdWNQHFIJ
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。」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB31LqHA3Ho
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25tyBzyxF8
「你知道？」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ANrw7CWFe
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tcERXdAfa
「聽來的。」李晴煬說：「詳細不清楚。」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0baMBh0w1l
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsVw2ZQKfI
「嗯，看來我高估你了。」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo6c3IyjtH
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLuJDacjIW
李晴煬的嘴角抽動幾下。謝綠不理他，專心介紹：754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS7MxoxgSR
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkLgKKDdd3
「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。」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLsW5D3nMC
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNxg2HA04l
謝綠雙手環胸，用一種非常帥氣的姿勢，靠在牆上。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FlmqGrxfs
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq17iSijLc
「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。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoJ2YMB5Ht
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHvvwF9EPv
「他們平常都這樣，穿醫師袍晃來晃去？」李晴煬問。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI8L5fjsmR
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6MglrLnUj
「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。」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU9OdU96xJ
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpmW7XSk7o
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。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyut4jMvgEf
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2hZ8P01Vc
「雷蒙一家。」謝綠說：「十大家族第八，時尚業的壟斷者。」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsdznCgE7s
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ5wWNVqsF
「時…時尚？」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TDVPtknlr
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6Ct9gU5pn
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。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFx1uUUpb4
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCAL6yNVz9
「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。」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPWI5bgLxV
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnVcN9TJeF
「穿這種衣服還能笑……要是本少爺，恨不得死了個算了。」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWIY4AC4N7
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSjTO80UmO
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。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6ILWcHzvN
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzKysKG3qC
「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。」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp9Szbvz0U
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7IAwSzzMc
「……不把那身恐怖的衣服脫掉，本少爺無法體會。」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb7gnnDhe6
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioCeSP8cKX
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。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc40Pgl6q4V
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfuFgvvGJG
「那又是誰？」李晴煬問謝綠。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCVf630ww6
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVLvIAqebi
「史密斯馬戲團，十大家族第七，慈善事業。」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXiZVSwV4L
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDgoYUq2GW
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。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05lehotNUx
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL77jLuvrY
「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。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAfkImQ2eB
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCph3aNUsQ
「聽起來很偉大。」李晴煬附和。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQL7EDZWE0
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBKBknyWio
「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。」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJrWj1wbr9
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf0WpDk4PB
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。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oaezcVTZh
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5FTlXyCo6
「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。」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldh3fMKSbM
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmPSV65jhS
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。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY467gyPAu
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5c4Wj7c1n
「他們漂浮在空中？」李晴煬踮腳尖，試著看清楚。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6HAB7DCX9
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmwUa4kIWj
「嗯，他們腳底的投影圖騰，那是漂浮裝置。」謝綠說。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxpfDe4w9N
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpBfndPLb8
「背上那又是什麼？翅膀？」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C7yQfoq9m
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9R3X0hWl1
「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。」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6Vti1ZkQt
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuSdCP4FKk
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。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtRB134yKO
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD04lWhIkk
「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？」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeXQqVZdkV
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4Hj2VyPG7
「妳怎麼只介紹八個？」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSisjNeKzf
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdkugVwCHn
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。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns4fjieU0Y
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIStq3AMkHl
「沒介紹的兩家，都沒有出席。」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHV7UjXfrX
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW7tX4y5Je
不等李晴煬問，謝綠就告訴他：754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOHRPazTR2
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyPkWpceGG
「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。」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMx4oZq2zO
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmatNTtgeFI
「這樣也算十大家族？」李晴煬立刻問。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyU8Sh0M4v
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBNCtSd8hZ
「我也不知道，但神秘歸神秘，他們也沒做什麼。」謝綠聳肩。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcN7tg18tK
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZCBlnERED
「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？」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCynAiphmR
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt3FBN01M9
「別說『這種場合』，高宇維連自己的活動都不出席。」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HJrkVbzxj
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuZDTJ3CXM
謝綠說，似是對高宇維的缺席見怪不怪。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeb0kchN7T
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ0XmeexSY
「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──」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhILAtxmWO4
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdmTzbxtlY
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。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKgn2FbwTw
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGsv5qQxUD
「……。」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ0LT0zLd2
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHG0Kkja0p
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsLpj91K75
一名白色頭髮的男子，正從遠遠的地方看著他們。754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfs59nvDa6
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWdvUeTAPm
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjDJhYcwIi
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：754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXxoP1OCU9
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMWRdcozp0
「可是今年，高宇維派他的親信來了。」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOYcz6Qaok
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrFrtwCsau
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？」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoovYMaLgCe
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLduQcq30I
「對，親信──你聽過神與畜吧？他是第一幹部、地位僅次於高宇維。」754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zK3x9RMsS
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq77AGkTcW
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──754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyeJcqPRYp
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZlSKT8Bji
