2154年12月24日，晚上七點，黑教堂797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCJMtBDTg9

797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTsTwaMjpK
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。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQB1N8hRtW
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpWCtNAS4y
「……。」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkwjzJfw86
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjkPAZk2II
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。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsKSE8ektK
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMxC2m2wul
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpzHmsukbn
「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……」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt33GilLfdm
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTFuSYfIA9
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjbF26dUJ3
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。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uzdpsVip6
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6sVUc0iB1
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。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmiIDSnFIM
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡble38U8DM0
「你是第一次參加？」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj4xBsBC6J
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhVEZKcV0C
李晴煬不知道怎麼開話題，謝綠率先開口，打破尷尬的氣氛。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskNm44epZb
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd8Q5Shh7v
喝著專為小孩調配的無酒精雞尾酒，李晴煬回應：「嗯。」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLF43aepds
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtwtkI0jSP
「之前為什麼缺席？」謝綠單刀直入地問。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3CfUE69im
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapWSsXBEeP
「討厭人多的地方。」李晴煬簡單回答。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbrVz22uA6
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0V9I7oP5r
「今年又為什麼來？」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxdDmu5viD
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfyCZG4cCd
「見見世面。」李晴煬聳肩，「不能一直窩在家裡。」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56VzWDBs9N
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj3Km0Ufjx
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？」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGa3sw60p3
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dcQq1r2Uz
「八歲開始，這是第三次。」謝綠沒有逃避他的問題，老實回答。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mFDh7Oxoe
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBB64InMhF
「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。」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p1J9IVQu9
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyD1pX3ACg
「還能因為什麼？我是被拖來的。」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eUlUj38Lz
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqPPW2Z0M6
李晴煬聽見謝綠嘆氣的聲音。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE45T06a1TP
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokYqweiW5H
「在場的人，妳都認識嗎？」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sMCZGEahQ
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94iCu7lEqx
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。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzapkAxMLqi
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe2wIqVnqF
「大部分知道。」謝綠看向他，「你都不認識？」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmTB3kSFqP
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVizmwhtsT6
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。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyu27Q9sLh
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyCinHpVHq
「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？」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU0kEFMT76
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcLOp3I7SV
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？」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5X9QaAQmT
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvHy59b254
「嗯。」謝綠秒答，補了句：「活像個娘炮。」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LmSBIsovD
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIBShe6kn4
「娘炮」兩字像一隻箭，狠狠從李晴煬胸前穿了過去。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhg4wR1KW7
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Md3thaKGM
「妳的穿衣品味才奇怪！哪有人古裝下面搭短裙！」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbtfeDLxkD
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxFaK9scer
「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？」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflDwuYt8U2
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA46K4OoEl
「妳……！」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejBNiIgfla
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUH94XUopU
「啊，這兒就行了，要從哪一家開始介紹呢……？」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLv4GWiqIs
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlOmdVXefd
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。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerXgKGmE4C
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf8r9odGll
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。」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRqbnQW337
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPnHecBtSA
「你知道？」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ2E3OwmYK
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzUdNT4OpH
「聽來的。」李晴煬說：「詳細不清楚。」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpSUHHbrtO
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBpW7kfadG
「嗯，看來我高估你了。」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGg5W9Rnsb
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWNR7HiO0f
李晴煬的嘴角抽動幾下。謝綠不理他，專心介紹：797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBxid1SewL
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc4ARGweYQ
「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。」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWa4mW5X0y
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRIYEY4Xl5
謝綠雙手環胸，用一種非常帥氣的姿勢，靠在牆上。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqdHWVo9oS
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9aSTtlXva
「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。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx3is6rUri
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZunxI9ll42
「他們平常都這樣，穿醫師袍晃來晃去？」李晴煬問。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQsmXxbrK5
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iQiH9AYMn
「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。」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mfSZraAO7
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS9Yt4IN6C
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。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKIuev0W4E
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcrar5Tlvm
「雷蒙一家。」謝綠說：「十大家族第八，時尚業的壟斷者。」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8TkbdHqv3
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92FcO9XDJ5
「時…時尚？」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuloIQ4dp5L
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6LSEf9zdx
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。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SNL4zSxMp
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmXs98KPpZ
「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。」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmkzYmFFIm
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoBauUCCnT
「穿這種衣服還能笑……要是本少爺，恨不得死了個算了。」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhbagjSdNc
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTwDQsqYoS
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。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0oHXKoxLh
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t2I7P1HA0
「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。」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdzrTTv0id
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr1DKFSBvf
「……不把那身恐怖的衣服脫掉，本少爺無法體會。」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGyViqr6QD
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQjwDSLYl7
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。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGiyeKLtTR
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPyrl7Oafi
「那又是誰？」李晴煬問謝綠。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhjKQLyg30
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ733dPNpTro
「史密斯馬戲團，十大家族第七，慈善事業。」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BCVEpScax
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHpan3xZcm
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。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn279Jsv8t
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cSyl28uo6
「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。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aSGGGHyCo
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmP6jEsRhM
「聽起來很偉大。」李晴煬附和。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzuJhcLScu
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAvKZPQB59
「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。」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakfxQ1aEus
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZoYVgzIJz
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。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrehf9JrvbO
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI0gWZ1km2
「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。」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCDiRqN5du
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSVDX4Z1SJ
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。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwp6YpyeDZ
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiGchTkxVi
「他們漂浮在空中？」李晴煬踮腳尖，試著看清楚。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOAe02k3TV
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjjqKG2xiX
「嗯，他們腳底的投影圖騰，那是漂浮裝置。」謝綠說。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QPSWakN1H
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7n11MSzM5
「背上那又是什麼？翅膀？」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t4SUEIxVy
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt6MEZuyXY
「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。」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCl017DiwV
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtHiGpM37c
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。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlzUsAioyv
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgSlZaYWyS
「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？」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95Y810R7sz
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjBgckjLvl
「妳怎麼只介紹八個？」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdXPON7uTt
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLleJo2VG6
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。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5UbtQGceR
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjp6KUFDgk
「沒介紹的兩家，都沒有出席。」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchQodOER7R
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjnjPX6rqS
不等李晴煬問，謝綠就告訴他：797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R9JMnoSVD
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUN91qk8Cv
「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。」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNL4nG0d0S
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfpRKP0fRm
「這樣也算十大家族？」李晴煬立刻問。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4lbjgmyqe
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfohafSwGt
「我也不知道，但神秘歸神秘，他們也沒做什麼。」謝綠聳肩。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr5bTfpMer
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfeaGBRugV
「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？」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupCHR1vCa7
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvS8ViSOc6
「別說『這種場合』，高宇維連自己的活動都不出席。」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStI1YpJLuo
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa30USqrBYj
謝綠說，似是對高宇維的缺席見怪不怪。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGlZ9BsrWN
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdzHf6Z9Ht
「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──」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtrsVDlXkf
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCdUIwOBGg
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。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf21vXQX7I
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRM8RnlaN8
「……。」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL7CpJMchP
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvBsaxSyz2
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9y52cYWFZ
一名白色頭髮的男子，正從遠遠的地方看著他們。797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7CNVF9iEf
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6HNBPe0u9
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDAN94ayUi
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：797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZpzYReycB
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2IX7OUQPp
「可是今年，高宇維派他的親信來了。」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGR2Kt9soi
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafX6u8ACk1
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？」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSAgdhiSeE
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPQ3NZmmoZ
「對，親信──你聽過神與畜吧？他是第一幹部、地位僅次於高宇維。」797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVLyKTzEUu
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkZSRtn00e
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──797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFEA0jlcUK
797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqULC4x4smD
「里奧．懷特。」8964 copyright protection793ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHL8uO4evk 維尼
