2157年6月24日,下午四點,仙境大樓,二層623Please respect copyright.PENANAdGeV3ipVDJ
623Please respect copyright.PENANALfuWtniqhF
623Please respect copyright.PENANAjsh4SUe2hk
跟赫密士要到聯絡方式後,尼可拉斯成功和那個女人聯繫上,但她不在家,說好兩個禮拜後碰面。到時,她會將貓親手交給尼可拉斯。623Please respect copyright.PENANAmkIQKgWedR
623Please respect copyright.PENANAbWRR8Yde1u
任務還算順利。閒來無事,尼可拉斯在醫務室看書,沒多久,雪檸突然衝進來,抓住尼可拉斯的手臂。623Please respect copyright.PENANAPgMMMpTvU0
623Please respect copyright.PENANAQJNhDuaJN0
「尼可!!!」623Please respect copyright.PENANAuPWCRPD1KT
623Please respect copyright.PENANAqMARco1jje
雪檸跟他說:「尼可!情況緊急,我需要你幫忙!」623Please respect copyright.PENANAsTG5yN5ETh
623Please respect copyright.PENANASrYm3TTdxB
「啊?」623Please respect copyright.PENANAgVXqnlfLAL
623Please respect copyright.PENANAdKG45SbTNI
尼可拉斯覺得莫名其妙,下一秒,一名意想不到的人從門口走進來。因為天氣變熱,里奧今天穿著短袖的黑色上衣,這是尼可拉斯第一次看到他露手臂。623Please respect copyright.PENANA4I4ix3QZTG
623Please respect copyright.PENANArtw2mYTfnD
「我今天不知道為什麼,超級想吃蝦子!可是……可是……!」623Please respect copyright.PENANAsMSKUBiXuj
623Please respect copyright.PENANA4CjkITDp3V
雪檸指著站在門口的里奧,生氣地說:「他說孕婦不能吃海鮮,會害寶寶過敏!可是我上網查,過敏只跟基因有關,但他不相信我!尼可,快用你的專業知識說他是錯的!!」623Please respect copyright.PENANAD46fQ8A7eB
623Please respect copyright.PENANAz2A5PXRPyE
雪檸抓著尼可拉斯的肩膀搖啊搖、搖啊搖,尼可拉斯的頭越來越暈。不愧是Knight隊長,力氣不是普通地大。623Please respect copyright.PENANA3aKMrFpP8m
623Please respect copyright.PENANA23JZIgkmlj
「冷靜點!我不是婦產科醫師!」623Please respect copyright.PENANAOAp07b9t2S
623Please respect copyright.PENANAYduHYRht9e
「不管啦!這裡只有你是醫生,他只聽你的話!」623Please respect copyright.PENANA3j4KMHrbba
623Please respect copyright.PENANAQqbY8CVQ9z
如果尼可拉斯是孕婦,他已經被雪檸搖到流產了。里奧從後面把雪檸抱走,再這樣下去,他覺得尼可拉斯會死。623Please respect copyright.PENANA9Z8u2eltNW
623Please respect copyright.PENANA19kZ9Zn4Gb
還在希波克拉底時,尼可拉斯被歸類在外科,也是他最擅長的領域。至於內科、兒科、婦產科、精神科其它領域,雖然不是專業,懂的也比一般人多,解答雪檸的疑問不是問題。623Please respect copyright.PENANAUZ1mzVZHam
623Please respect copyright.PENANADQZMtIeCzU
「就像妳說的:過敏主要取決於基因,孕婦可以吃海鮮。」尼可拉斯說。623Please respect copyright.PENANAo3hliFXcHs
623Please respect copyright.PENANAOGdLXK68yk
「你看吧!」雪檸朝里奧露出勝利的表情。623Please respect copyright.PENANAtwalahlDEP
623Please respect copyright.PENANACr765f0won
「但是!」尼可拉斯加但書:「食材要新鮮、料理過程要衛生、完全煮熟才能食用,最重要的──不能一次攝取太多。」623Please respect copyright.PENANAq5vwNde751
623Please respect copyright.PENANA9jiTDIL46o
雪檸鼓嘴,她打算去水產火鍋超市大吃特吃,被尼可拉斯看穿計謀,肯定是不行了。623Please respect copyright.PENANAP1FojnqZ9O
623Please respect copyright.PENANArSxYYA1LuQ
「妳現在最重要的是營養均衡,孕婦手冊說不能碰的東西就不要碰。這都是為了嬰兒著想,忍忍吧。」623Please respect copyright.PENANAxLC0CTCcSw
623Please respect copyright.PENANAAuxmKwY9go
尼可拉斯瞥了里奧一眼。雖然不想跟他講話,尼可拉斯還是叮嚀:「她再過幾周會開始害喜,到時會出現各種症狀。嗜睡、孕吐、頭痛頭暈……可能完全吃不下,也可能只想吃某種東西,或心理狀況不穩定,這時爸爸的角色很重要。可以的話,你盡量別出任務,多待在她旁邊,畢竟讓她懷孕的是你,這是你的責任。」623Please respect copyright.PENANAjRfX2YX3Cc
623Please respect copyright.PENANA3CQwfKzqhB
里奧點頭。昨天他才和高宇維通話,里奧和雪檸的任務都轉給了別人,他們這陣子會待在仙境大樓,產假的概念。623Please respect copyright.PENANAuwbY0RUtPi
623Please respect copyright.PENANA09XMOsBIO9
「……謝謝。」623Please respect copyright.PENANAd0IACLc1p0
623Please respect copyright.PENANAxQ6HiAGx2x
有尼可拉斯在,里奧很放心,也發自內心、感激尼可拉斯沒有因為私人恩怨,無視雪檸肚子裡的孩子。623Please respect copyright.PENANA3Eiv6midgN
623Please respect copyright.PENANAVCX60RJcLS
「對了,我有事要問你。」623Please respect copyright.PENANA0zOefXxep3
623Please respect copyright.PENANAKcHeTxfe4d
既然里奧在這,兩人也說上話,尼可拉斯不會放過這個機會。623Please respect copyright.PENANAzYjbpOUuDz
623Please respect copyright.PENANAdGE5x4trhc
「既然天賦是透過遺傳得來,」尼可拉斯問:「我媽她,是不是也有天賦?」623Please respect copyright.PENANAeyZiqhWs6P
623Please respect copyright.PENANAsyzls8pP96
里奧點頭。尼可拉斯接著問:「是什麼?」623Please respect copyright.PENANANPW8OzCf8R
623Please respect copyright.PENANAZw0DUolJ38
「『香菇』。」623Please respect copyright.PENANAuIJCn2FHLO
623Please respect copyright.PENANAWIXuLZiyKk
「啊?」尼可拉斯挑眉,「你在耍我嗎?」623Please respect copyright.PENANAY4HsvuPy3Q
623Please respect copyright.PENANABqSO5CDZ8r
「尼可,里奧說的是實話。」雪檸說:「葛蕾絲真的是香菇。」623Please respect copyright.PENANA85Of8sz1Gq
623Please respect copyright.PENANAkXIVwKjO1z
「妳乾脆說我媽會孢子繁殖算了。」623Please respect copyright.PENANAg2pTwKABBT
623Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0jlo82RK2
尼可拉斯這話是亂講,結果雪檸回答:「嗯,不愧是尼可,反應真快!」623Please respect copyright.PENANAtFSjOuKDYD
623Please respect copyright.PENANAcgHsLPijBw
「……。」623Please respect copyright.PENANAzbkegjlzTl
623Please respect copyright.PENANAfD9BXldgy6
尼可拉斯滿頭問號,「我跟不上你們的節奏。」他整理剛才的對話,「我媽的天賦是香菇,她會孢子繁殖?」623Please respect copyright.PENANAGRbPYPvGqd
623Please respect copyright.PENANAG9C9uZjxcg
里奧和雪檸一起點頭。活這麼大,從別人口中聽到媽媽是蕈類,尼可拉斯的頭好痛。623Please respect copyright.PENANAPFeXTPyvXZ
623Please respect copyright.PENANAmhu8tyhnOs
「……她的孢子不是用來繁殖。」里奧突然說。623Please respect copyright.PENANAtIP6vlX3Wn
623Please respect copyright.PENANAp7VPKqHNg4
「不然尼可也會是香菇喔。」雪檸開玩笑地說:「聽起來很可愛。」623Please respect copyright.PENANAUFTqj6szgm
623Please respect copyright.PENANAv0HcaMaul0
「一點也不。」尼可拉斯翻白眼,問里奧:「用來做什麼?」623Please respect copyright.PENANAXevKcdFgav
623Please respect copyright.PENANAehjgd7vGc0
「復活。」623Please respect copyright.PENANArqgoP2AdBe
623Please respect copyright.PENANA4UaxBqol5B
尼可拉斯的眼睛睜大了一圈。623Please respect copyright.PENANA7iFxGWe6Wb
623Please respect copyright.PENANA3TIZ0KfR4L
「她死亡的當下,身體會射出肉眼無法看見的孢子。」里奧說:「當孢子獲得足夠的能量,她就會復活。」623Please respect copyright.PENANAz9o90pEIj9
623Please respect copyright.PENANArHmRUn22j0
「……!」623Please respect copyright.PENANA2j0QNbIghI
623Please respect copyright.PENANANDXehamqUe
尼可拉斯激動到站起來,「你為什麼不早說!宇維少爺為什麼不復活她?」623Please respect copyright.PENANAjMFStUmQqt
623Please respect copyright.PENANAapb5mgU2wN
里奧搖頭,「葛蕾絲警告過,不能那樣做。」623Please respect copyright.PENANA45mwxLEVpl
623Please respect copyright.PENANAcHOmCDeFkV
「為什麼?」623Please respect copyright.PENANAHYxZmEbSYG
623Please respect copyright.PENANA9fxyWbvzxD
「……會死很多人。」623Please respect copyright.PENANAHGCr2lmB4h
623Please respect copyright.PENANA42YXB2hoSn
看里奧的表情就知道,他的想法和尼可拉斯一致、也希望葛蕾絲回來,但葛蕾絲本人不允許,他才沒採取行動。623Please respect copyright.PENANASKJZFyJlof
623Please respect copyright.PENANA9B0gTXHEAC
「尼可,你先坐下來,詳細情形由我來說。」623Please respect copyright.PENANAdXUNBgD9Ns
623Please respect copyright.PENANA6Iz9ICaVFi
雪檸安撫尼可拉斯的情緒、讓他坐回椅子上,也跟尼可拉斯借紙筆,用圖畫來說明。623Please respect copyright.PENANAkGfq8Afhyr
623Please respect copyright.PENANAj6FPJocfeN
「葛蕾絲的孢子飛散出去後,會寄身在活體生物上。除非被寄生者死亡,否則孢子不會消失。」623Please respect copyright.PENANASKKGmUZDK1
623Please respect copyright.PENANA3FuHAsLbyz
雪檸在紙上畫了五個圈圈,也在五個圈圈底下,各畫上一個人。623Please respect copyright.PENANAFZJUSVpXLN
623Please respect copyright.PENANA24vxwAW0K1
「其中,所有孢子裡,有個最重要的『母體』。其它孢子的被寄生者死亡後,會把獲得的能量傳送給母體。只要母體獲得足夠能量,葛蕾絲就能利用母體的被寄身者復活,就像這樣子。」623Please respect copyright.PENANAtEDC9ksQrI
623Please respect copyright.PENANAMfrfwQAoI6
雪檸在第一個圈圈旁,寫上「母體」。623Please respect copyright.PENANAxQhFbf5pWf
623Please respect copyright.PENANAexPy9p0Oc7
「假設,總共有ABCDE五個孢子,分別寄身在12345號被寄身者上,其中A孢子是母體。今天,假設2號寄生者死亡,B孢子會把獲得的能量,傳給母體A。」623Please respect copyright.PENANAGu1yynE8eK
623Please respect copyright.PENANAsquoyELgjQ
雪檸在2、3、4、5號寄生者身上,都打上叉叉,再個別畫了箭頭、連到母體A的位置。623Please respect copyright.PENANAGRD3qyjjcc
623Please respect copyright.PENANAp8UpZpQuuO
「以此類推,母體A吸收來自各孢子的能量。等吸收到一定程度,葛蕾絲會用1號寄身者的身體復活。但這過程非常長,而且,必須確保母體安危,1號寄身者要活得比其它寄身者久。成功率很低,何況,葛蕾絲本人不想這麼做。」623Please respect copyright.PENANANYm1cMzE1d
623Please respect copyright.PENANAvqMjooWmya
「為什麼?」623Please respect copyright.PENANAsivzYF9cER
623Please respect copyright.PENANAUwx8rm2WhQ
「看圖就知道了。」623Please respect copyright.PENANApDQ81qfEzN
623Please respect copyright.PENANAtK4CC7JSup
雪檸用筆,指著被畫叉叉的被寄身者。623Please respect copyright.PENANAd0kke4vGw3
623Please respect copyright.PENANA6Pmyy0mLSZ
「首先,母體要獲得足夠的能量,這些被孢子寄身的人都得死;再來,葛蕾絲用1號寄身者的身體復活,1號寄身者的意識將不復存在,1號寄身者也會死。」623Please respect copyright.PENANARINZF2l8C4
623Please respect copyright.PENANAwWD5W1zUuh
雪檸嘆了口氣。623Please respect copyright.PENANAE3ujUFJ5rv
623Please respect copyright.PENANAvaghRJFjyf
「葛蕾絲的能力,來自第一代水果塔『書蟲(Caterpillar)』。說穿了,這是場獻祭儀式,用上百人的性命換她一人。尼可,你覺得依葛蕾絲的個性,她會同意這種作法嗎?」623Please respect copyright.PENANAyjdlxyNu3T
623Please respect copyright.PENANAXWIyAztiAR
「……。」623Please respect copyright.PENANAST3xSTKj2S
623Please respect copyright.PENANApBs8lWgA8r
當然不會。623Please respect copyright.PENANAGaRBOh26dZ
623Please respect copyright.PENANAQLOKhW1vpQ
尼可拉斯想都不用想。623Please respect copyright.PENANAvGOMzOgRdI
623Please respect copyright.PENANAXgzoAiGzlf
他那個媽媽,三不五時把受傷的小貓小狗撿回家,會把家裡的食物分給附近的流浪漢。連螞蟻都捨不得殺死的人,怎麼可能允許那種事?623Please respect copyright.PENANAiqeo8pa2Xl
623Please respect copyright.PENANALEZKdyyBSP
「……你們回去吧。」623Please respect copyright.PENANAv9kcmv1wTm
623Please respect copyright.PENANAexFByuYbxJ
他後悔問了問題、燃起無聊的希望。尼可拉斯下了逐客令,暫時不想見任何人,尤其是里奧。623Please respect copyright.PENANAYdoFRsyL91
623Please respect copyright.PENANAWaE2NuvbRS
「我不想影響到孕婦的心情。」尼可拉斯別過頭,「快走,別逼我發脾氣。」623Please respect copyright.PENANAwlzg9QLs5a
623Please respect copyright.PENANA4BPdjSprFq
雪檸原本想說什麼,手卻先被里奧拉住。623Please respect copyright.PENANAJe3lsm0CsF
623Please respect copyright.PENANAvjkroSJlAd
「……走吧。」623Please respect copyright.PENANAYlC2ZAcg0q
623Please respect copyright.PENANA44rcOcRtxm
里奧很清楚,尼可拉斯需要時間習慣心裡的傷口,不是一句不負責任的道歉。那不是「對不起」三個字可以彌補,何況,是沒有感情基礎的對不起。623Please respect copyright.PENANAYECPe0TiOq
623Please respect copyright.PENANAROn04QbdFG
他需要人陪伴、需要人安慰──那個人絕對不是里奧。他牽起雪檸的手,離開醫務室。623Please respect copyright.PENANAhPDgmVxN0e
623Please respect copyright.PENANAZ23VvtU0LB
另一方面,從三樓走樓梯到二樓,MIO遇見從醫務室離開的里奧夫婦,但沒有跟他們說到話,只聽到一句:「果然,不該告訴尼可的。」623Please respect copyright.PENANA36N7CRZSYF
623Please respect copyright.PENANA6yxr1knTc4
「……?」623Please respect copyright.PENANARq6OHON1ja
623Please respect copyright.PENANAYffjp3VskY
電梯門闔上後,MIO才從樓梯間探出頭來。因為尼可拉斯最近很累,MIO抱著便當盒,裡面有她親手捏的飯糰,希望能讓尼可拉斯打起精神。623Please respect copyright.PENANA6Cg3BzYcrT
623Please respect copyright.PENANAMBRaVqKq1Y
殊不知被她聽見這句。623Please respect copyright.PENANARQoIcLPmNa
623Please respect copyright.PENANAH6xtsYd7Nn
MIO眨眨眼睛,雖然不知道發生什麼,但見到里奧,尼可拉斯的心情一定不好,需要飯糰打起精神。MIO沒想太多,繼續朝醫務室前進。623Please respect copyright.PENANACmXyeqIbc8
623Please respect copyright.PENANA7aG1ohnnDP
「尼可?」623Please respect copyright.PENANA0TAuzQTUlh
623Please respect copyright.PENANAEMGHN511K3
推開醫務室的門。尼可拉斯坐在辦公椅上,表情冷漠,看起來和平常一樣──但MIO覺得不正常。623Please respect copyright.PENANAcVIA7NcdIK
623Please respect copyright.PENANAhyo2IAVzy9
第一,什麼事也沒發生;第二,他遭受巨大的打擊,變得只能思考一件事,淪為詭譎的冷靜。623Please respect copyright.PENANAWE5UIkJFhx
623Please respect copyright.PENANAs4tARDTVG9
「……怎麼了?MIO。」623Please respect copyright.PENANA3nEA70jvIf
623Please respect copyright.PENANAdvrUis68xu
空氣瀰漫異常的氣氛。MIO看著尼可拉斯友善又詭異的笑容,有些躊躇、有些遲疑,但她假裝什麼都不知道,把便當盒放到尼可拉斯桌上。623Please respect copyright.PENANASYC49jo3uM
623Please respect copyright.PENANAwkE7g8X461
「MIO做了飯糰給尼可喔!」623Please respect copyright.PENANACcx1pCyC6G
623Please respect copyright.PENANAVUZ1qeufTF
MIO站到尼可拉斯面前,一副要尼可拉斯稱讚的表情。623Please respect copyright.PENANANQskJoMA3z
623Please respect copyright.PENANAboEaw7WlxQ
「……謝謝。」623Please respect copyright.PENANAjokz4oOafj
623Please respect copyright.PENANAVKRexg3FpE
MIO接收到尼可拉斯異樣的眼神,下一秒,尼可拉斯的手放到MIO頭上,臉湊了過來。623Please respect copyright.PENANAyLzLZ2vdY9
623Please respect copyright.PENANAqN6jZtjJbn
「哪,MIO。」623Please respect copyright.PENANA5yljjBlclB
623Please respect copyright.PENANA70rNkD8iXt
尼可拉斯睜大眼睛,嘴角上揚,整張臉沒有半點笑意。623Please respect copyright.PENANAVpVd9cjsqa
623Please respect copyright.PENANAOGqYzuo2bd
623Please respect copyright.PENANAdr3wM0QXjg
「還記得──我上次說的『願望』嗎?」623Please respect copyright.PENANAcfu7Zy15oS
623Please respect copyright.PENANAr9ImaUfa2f
623Please respect copyright.PENANAxFcU7wiN7r
「……!」623Please respect copyright.PENANAvPh6cLlIHX
623Please respect copyright.PENANAu40PLzHDsY
MIO沒有回話。那一瞬間,她感覺尼可拉斯心裡,有什麼東西正在裂開。支撐神與畜的東西正在衰敗,MIO自己也裂得七零八落,彷彿──回到遇見李博洋前的自己。
