2157年6月15日，上午八點，史密斯列車691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtgNUT6O4b

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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMabfNjWZB
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrT5umKlNO
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxG8KygCEZ
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazso9UYsAx
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgYe1Chuu7
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSaeBE61r1
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIAH88N2cj
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ydPdP7899
「奧斯卡哥哥。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgkoanyCTc
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1QrGWQPLB
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBfE6P1HTc
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtomlEOWIb
「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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvTXJVxsgE
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIySp25qLGa
「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。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn5MLx1Z3L
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLNayfFuEw
「艾琳？」奧斯卡眨了眨眼，「她怎麼了？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdWwKnMhd0
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNPNFNegGQ
「……昨天晚上，又開始了。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwspdvYZdpM
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHjyBTSu0d
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI4bs4urTY
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJb6FsbISO
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1oODZdHV3
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATsSCuJiHM

「啊啊！啊啊啊啊啊啊！啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7l4j4c1Pv
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgguFNqG0P
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq36Fl1tgZU
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR21L383RTy
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVxCuJ4tK0
「艾琳！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC04Wk3RVzv
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7W8LklMZi
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9xelwXLe6
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhc0ntDWST
「啊啊！啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8Hq2WHeH1
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpTMivvzkx
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5PsW9glD7
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqQjhQ4Ya4
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT91M7rH2FN
「尼…尼可……尼可……！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u3Agvct5W
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXcDFSJaYy
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DaFYyDyzc
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG5DqCNi0o
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dWLashlc1
「尼可……在哪裡……！我的寶貝……尼可……！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl93j0Pz46c
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGE06AHtft
「唔……艾琳！艾琳！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm1x7Ra4XS
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTfHFW2fea
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8nWzdcnpV
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE3TsJ3EHP
「你是誰！？你是誰！？尼可在哪裡……在哪裡！！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH9UmHh2BD
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6KwRGop1D
「艾琳……是我！我是哥哥！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpklmkeoDKL
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmRDxLkhtZ
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56mSvpqiGY
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0nicUB1w1
「醒醒，艾琳！我是哥哥！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvbiRX65Wj
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c96nu1dK1
「哥哥……不！不是！你才不是我哥哥……！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKtDiSMODy
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1mx2NWcXn
「混帳！妳給我看清楚！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgBK3EU1g5
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol6HpjKfqT
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dtxV4HNXT
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIvCSdbonF
「艾琳．史密斯！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7nQ0k7Vku
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H3p2EyNJW
奧斯卡對她大吼：691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfVVcUmJzW
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF1a13NTzd
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT6jeUZ04H
「她是艾琳，她是史密斯！我不管妳是誰，滾出我妹妹的身體！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvPGCUEvbR
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymTCauOOJj
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLkXFR4cWl
「……！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDGymteklt
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv00YebuPh
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xm90hNn4s
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9IvJQGsgj
「嗚嗚……啊啊……嗚啊……！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XsMUkVgY3
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PSOxYGl1e
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjhHDFdBYW
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6WjMBZ0oe
「哥哥……天啊！哥哥！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OHt4Hf1nH
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorYsd1wFNi
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？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSmMdxbBln
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaj88v0P2y
「沒事，沒事。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXQ6u8Ub2p
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr7kuGzMl8
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！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2j5Eyu9je
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3gxW3BT7z
「少騙人了！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaaXcPIsIM
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZmAee2iQP
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！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9foTvIR9bz
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5ojau3Ahj
「我是馬戲團團長，逗人開心是我的工作。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WlnkDg4J4
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZGkLkl9Cv
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sbNW3ZSGu
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4Ob2B0NqM
「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。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cYXCdjl1A
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRZWdT6B9j
「我知道，對不起……！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHTotKDdsP
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt8jPw6K7W
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiidl8j5vb
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9kV1TNMln
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？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim0HzANndu
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLfVBZQM3s
奧斯卡沒有回話，反問特蕾莎：「今天有什麼新聞？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q4lPdJ6XM
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVPZQ2z6P5
「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。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOjZit9Cck
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcsYa3xfV5
特蕾莎知道奧斯卡想問什麼，補了句：「是個油漆工人。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xzJUate1b
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CchgJkvJ9
「……。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtbirONu0T
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhv1ChTRi8
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。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjfwr8tw06
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hIF59RJX4
「嗯。」特蕾莎點頭，「所以？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d1l4waCEp
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUC0KM6QEJ
「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。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsl20AJoBe
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEso9GqzSy
「OK。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDRbcxYBXJ
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzM0MI4vBw
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o0YRQeI69
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkmnDA6AI7
「如果真的是那個人，」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecUJ0I4ue5
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g1pscc2j3
特蕾莎問：「奧斯卡哥哥，殺死艾琳姐姐的工作，能讓給我嗎？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCLVaq9d74
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcDkZYOa29
「可以。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTrK6gX8Ig
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR04M8Zkgm7
奧斯卡把頭轉到另一邊，「我下不了手，交給妳了。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YNQjB5iCB
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFBkeCkZNA
「謝謝奧斯卡哥哥。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiovRYzn4fx
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNx7cKSLJY
特蕾莎微笑，「泰勒哥哥一定會很高興。」8964 copyright protection687ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgmPqBmbaN 維尼
