父親死後，史密斯列車好久沒這麼安靜了。奧斯卡跪在一具黑色的棺材前，雙手十指交叉，低頭禱告，希望他的兄弟能安息。674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUOmLTOgYO

五天前，泰勒的屍體被人發現。他跪坐著、手裡握著貫穿他身體的刀，看起來像自殺。史密斯所有人悲痛欲絕，奧斯卡也暫停計畫，優先處理泰勒的後事。674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn33mcP1shr
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUk3mXt6QC
雖然行駛在大西洋下的海底隧道、無法為泰勒下葬，但史密斯列車有幾具特殊棺材，能防止大體腐壞；還有設計成教堂的車廂，能為死者禱告。因此，奧斯卡不擔心泰勒的後事，而是泰勒的死因，他覺得很不對勁。674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo6bkQUWIY
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zIKO8Igzs
那天中午，泰勒跟他討論計畫，看起來毫無異狀。奧斯卡相信泰勒是被殺死的，但兇手是誰？他們行駛在海底隧道，與世隔絕，犯人只可能是其他史密斯。想到這，奧斯卡便睜開眼睛、停止禱告，思索哪位弟妹的可能性最大。674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5Mo4hmvBW
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtSNcUQrbJ
「奧斯卡哥哥。」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eUjXQw3el
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xjfVzNfKE
奧斯卡身後突然傳來女孩的聲音。他回頭，老四特蕾莎．史密斯（Teresa Smith）坐在輪椅上，來到奧斯卡身後。她是個陰沉的女孩，金色的長髮蓋住她的臉，只露出一顆灰色的眼睛，及臉頰上的雀斑。674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf4KuqkKDj
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNY1viPVtu
「怎麼啦，特蕾莎？」奧斯卡打起精神，露出符合他紅色頭髮的開朗微笑，以免弟妹擔心。674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSmPikejBJ
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00kdlh53N7
「給泰勒哥哥的禱告，換我來吧。」特蕾莎有氣無力地說：「你去看一下艾琳姊姊，比較好。」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEAf8yZnel
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUS3sD9e3I
「艾琳？」奧斯卡眨了眨眼，「她怎麼了？」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD26skpedI9
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFtuPwoR79
「……昨天晚上，又開始了。」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZn4vxfR85
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaRcmMdC7b
看到特蕾莎的表情，奧斯卡就知道發生什麼，於是聽妹妹的話，朝艾琳的房間走去。674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2hjFhMJhE
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pwzpr8XP9
艾琳排行老三，是奧斯卡最自豪的妹妹。她精明、能幹，什麼表演都難不倒，也是史密斯馬戲團最有觀眾緣的表演者，但兄弟姐妹都知道，艾琳得了一種怪病。674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1H58HMoTv

674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtqzK00whr
「啊啊！啊啊啊啊啊啊！啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqMHYfB5QC
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjcgjHFcXi
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCsYCH2udt
穿過一節節車廂，還沒走到艾琳的房間，奧斯卡就聽見她的尖叫。房裡的艾琳不知道用什麼東西撞擊牆壁，震耳欲聾的「磅！」、「磅！」聲讓奧斯卡非常著急，也非常害怕，開門前一度陷入猶豫。674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SV0eI2Pzl
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kP2CaoBkK
「艾琳！」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurGkARYa45
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UZg8MFdzv
但手足之情，奧斯卡還是開門。艾琳原本黑色牆壁的房間，被潑滿了紅色、黃色、橘色的油漆。艾琳人站在十幾個油漆桶之間，各種顏色的油漆混雜在身上，猶如一隻被石油汙染的海鷗。674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTx6PIVgab
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc0xGZ8bQq
「啊啊！啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns9ZY7bAqf
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6cKBwPMZI
艾琳的長髮全部黏在臉上。她用指甲抓自己的臉，喉嚨擠出破碎的尖叫。奧斯卡衝上前，來不及關心，艾琳就把他壓倒在地，兩手掐住奧斯卡的脖子。674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHweL6Vae0
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWfqhWaMLE
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMamX94ZtOS
「尼…尼可……尼可……！」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R1hXkgJ1Y
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae7PshNuz1
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCmPQNCUie
艾琳瞋大的藍色眼睛瞪著奧斯卡，嘴巴開始碎念聽不懂的話。674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwzXMDRClN
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM83pbYckS
「尼可……在哪裡……！我的寶貝……尼可……！」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcwTCMIbVB
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPBbcFgQUW
「唔……艾琳！艾琳！」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9bXUBnL0i
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzGbKmZVPf
奧斯卡的頭髮和衣服也被染上油漆。他抓著艾琳的手，脖子被掐得十分難受。674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGNJRUn7Yz
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dDxyi1REY
「你是誰！？你是誰！？尼可在哪裡……在哪裡！！」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMywflSVJPS
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGXtJ8BWWc
「艾琳……是我！我是哥哥！」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfY6ISuuC0
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXoSH93W1m
奧斯卡不得不採取蠻橫的手段。他一拳打到艾琳臉上，多虧如此，艾琳掐他脖子的手終於放開，摔到一攤黃色的油漆裡。674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuYD7l0wpN
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR3q2xjYCZ
「醒醒，艾琳！我是哥哥！」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLr33p1fPj
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNXiPlDERn
「哥哥……不！不是！你才不是我哥哥……！」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zxg6FAJkO
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEJb83bXg8
「混帳！妳給我看清楚！」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM9nqIUtPN
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvg1NuonzU
奧斯卡一手抓住艾琳的肩膀，另一手從後面揪住艾琳的頭髮，強迫妹妹與自己直視。674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw59IW63Ag
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSi5f5Lf0b
「艾琳．史密斯！」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54I7tuRgir
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0bt2e38OG
奧斯卡對她大吼：674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPs9TuWsKX
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlmA5QvtVt
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XCsSVGIIM
「她是艾琳，她是史密斯！我不管妳是誰，滾出我妹妹的身體！」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3dEIoFM3o
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6ci624btQ
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQKbJrdvK0
「……！」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9KGixquVq
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGpezxVwh0
奧斯卡的話起了功效。下一秒，艾琳摀著臉，一會在地上打滾，一會弓起身子。她尖叫、咆哮，嗓子都已經叫啞，開始乾嘔。674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrSMuHdIWt
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AzXxsWkk2
「嗚嗚……啊啊……嗚啊……！」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxUiS2jV5Y
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRindMHlBoH
眼淚從艾琳的眼裡流出來。她看向奧斯卡，雙目終於聚焦，臉也回復人類應有的血色。674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82PIxDfQoF
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB6Bu6WaSg
「哥哥……天啊！哥哥！」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMmVabXeVc
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6l9LImmEt
艾琳回來了。看到奧斯卡脖子上的掐痕，她哭著問：「我對你做了什麼？你的脖子……我剛剛打算殺死你嗎？」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQYPdnXqll
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89rv7wY4cb
「沒事，沒事。」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypgpfnBBQf
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPMvhnTAk4
奧斯卡總算放下心來。他指著脖子，開玩笑地說：「這是我自己畫的，很逼真吧，哈哈！」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgfyDWfDxD
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsYW8p3Oqm
「少騙人了！」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCdi5a3HZy
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu8e2tV6PH
艾琳抱住奧斯卡，哭著罵：「哥哥，你有什麼毛病，還有心情開玩笑！」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBPhGUxF3R
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TxK6uFALe
「我是馬戲團團長，逗人開心是我的工作。」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MMcdx6Emk
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lnIyCsVrC
奧斯卡抱著艾琳，一手輕拍她的背，同時，雖然艾琳的頭髮被油漆染得亂七八糟，奧斯卡還是發現，妹妹的髮色越來越淡，逐漸從漂亮的深褐色，變成銀白色。674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4kpovcxdq
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysJ6kknT5o
「妳沒事就好。」奧斯卡親親艾琳的臉頰，「泰勒走了，我不能再失去妳。」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5aY5e0ghI
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0fSMbJw5w
「我知道，對不起……！」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5X5bgWHa6
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovmAoyaDnY
艾琳在奧斯卡身上哭了五分鐘。哭完後，她打起精神，朝奧斯卡露出放心的笑容。她請哥哥先離開，因為她需要時間清洗自己，也得處理一團亂的房間。674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwvWlGJlB1
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMJL7b4JKe
確認人沒事，奧斯卡離開艾琳的房間，排行第四的特蕾莎在走廊等他。少女坐在輪椅上，表情僵硬地盯著奧斯卡，「怎麼樣？」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRGEF0xNH6
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIcKhCmqsX
奧斯卡沒有回話，反問特蕾莎：「今天有什麼新聞？」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWdss0kIAt
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOttwTFLpy
「B區有個工人，受不了老闆壓榨和超時工作，昨晚上吊自殺了。」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrTKGy4Crr
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJo1dxJBUN
特蕾莎知道奧斯卡想問什麼，補了句：「是個油漆工人。」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfFfzEQqRn
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ykWPQu2ns
「……。」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5Vkh36yJ8
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcZufAzRHe
奧斯卡的表情非常凝重。他深吸一口氣，告訴特蕾莎：「再這樣下去，艾琳會消失。」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjihJNguWP
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl76UxK5ucP
「嗯。」特蕾莎點頭，「所以？」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIXP785RnX
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyGF5i0FO7
「妳幫我調查『尼可』。」奧斯卡說：「我要確認，艾琳身體裡的，是不是那個人。」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTUgyJsePF
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0QkGF0QNd
「OK。」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeMDlxRjcr
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFHWE2XqTW
特蕾莎面前有個觸控面板，她平時都用這個操控輪椅。就在她準備離開時，特蕾莎突然想到什麼，將輪椅轉向奧斯卡。674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmElKuNyOiS
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3pdA9qZeu
「如果真的是那個人，」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD7SW45oHY
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ61fzSqlsX
特蕾莎問：「奧斯卡哥哥，殺死艾琳姐姐的工作，能讓給我嗎？」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN9ClqnAc1
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgM0ghhUSR
「可以。」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQdingqjEM
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTeXkN6OER
奧斯卡把頭轉到另一邊，「我下不了手，交給妳了。」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6VZDdpuT0
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7II8tkb8l9
「謝謝奧斯卡哥哥。」674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllSQefefJw
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoni74cRvsK
特蕾莎微笑，「泰勒哥哥一定會很高興。」8964 copyright protection670ＰＥＮＡＮＡLel1ADjECK 維尼
