第一次見識到完整的水果塔，尼可拉斯驚訝得忘記掙扎，此刻的派翠克就像披著孔雀披風的王子，受彩繪玻璃上的薇奧拉庇護與加持。他扯掉黑色口罩，用一模一樣的臉面對紅鶴，藍色的頭髮與眼睛不遜於粉紅色。994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzZYS14Bne

「……哼。」994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n2URFHTNU
994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp4lTCD3zz
另一邊的紅鶴沒有廢話，拔了刀，修長的身影單腳一蹬、直朝派翠克衝來。他對派翠克的敵意似乎不只因為「蜘蛛」，還夾雜了個人恩怨，看來自己的外表被人仿冒，紅鶴的心裡很不是滋味。994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrmVq27VgH
994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJadxMRnnZ
面對紅鶴的刀，派翠克不慌不忙、張開手，身後的彩繪玻璃與他的動作同步──女人敞開擁抱，一把藍色的狙擊槍出現在派翠克手中。他抬手，用槍身將紅鶴的刀擋下來，清脆一響──994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw3TpksjIY
994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinE1TpyLaO
「鐺！」994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIwnbTMueG
994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgk98ixfJo
刀砍在槍上，兩張一模一樣的臉靠得非常近。突然，十幾把白色狙擊槍憑空出現，如孔雀開屏般綻放在派翠克身後。紅鶴瞪大眼睛，所有飄浮在空中的槍枝竟一致瞄準自己，自動扣下扳機──994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyd4l4X1ux
994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibTgQfDFtb
「鐺鐺鐺鐺！」994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dqqPqxmvl
994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsDrcnjoAo
紅鶴往後跳，在空中擋下成千上萬發子彈，同時，彩繪玻璃有了新動作──兩片玻璃飛噴而出。派翠克扯開尼可拉斯之前包紮的繃帶，玻璃割破他的傷口，紫色蜜液以不尋常的量湧出。感覺不到痛的派翠克往空中一撒，蜜液流入每一把白色槍枝中，變成了子彈。994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtWgDUouLv

派翠克不知道自己在說什麼，但腦海莫名閃過這幾字，而這幾字也讓他覺得自己越來越強，體內的水果塔力量不斷湧現。994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVQy3D8fhE

派翠克衝到紅鶴面前，趁紅鶴擋子彈的空檔，槍身向上一勾，槍托正中紅鶴下巴。紅鶴悶哼一聲、整個人被打到空中；派翠克趁勝追擊，直朝紅鶴的腦門開槍。994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzyEPWNINj

「……！」994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkKCtDs7JO
994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrndk7D3uS
紅鶴立刻躲開，蜜液子彈射中他的外套、飄來一股腐蝕味。重整態勢的他大笑、張開八根蜘蛛腳，朝派翠克的方向俯衝，打算將對方的臉扯爛；往下墜的派翠克抬手，所有飄浮在空中的白色槍枝準備就緒，在蜘蛛腳襲來的瞬間扣下扳機──994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX5YsvQ9kU

「鐺鐺鐺鐺鐺！」994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1ioqNwAKs
994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNd0kMRskV
派翠克的子彈全被紅鶴的蜘蛛腳擋下，紅鶴的刀向下一劈，派翠克用手裡的槍擋下，並在落地的瞬間單腳一蹬、翻到紅鶴身後。一藍一粉的身影在空中纏鬥，派翠克躲開紅鶴的蜘蛛腳，槍口朝後又是一發；子彈被紅鶴的刀擋下，另一根蜘蛛腳從其他角度襲擊。因為久戰不利，派翠克竟收起槍枝，趁勢抓住紅鶴的蜘蛛腳、一口咬下，連觀戰的尼可拉斯都嚇了一跳。994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R1PIB2Ov5

「……！」994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPO06K1Oxo
994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFKh0GgWhe
紅鶴立刻發現不對勁，他一腳將派翠克踹開，卻已經來不及──派翠克的唾液也有毒，被咬的蜘蛛腳開始潰爛、變成恐怖的深紫色，毒素以不尋常的速度往紅鶴的本體蔓延。紅鶴不得已，拔刀、忍痛將中毒的蜘蛛腳砍斷。994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3jFRiYNjB
994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9krIIDypG
「唔！」994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2aOgqZQaR
994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFI5HrvA3u
雖然抑制毒素蔓延，但紅鶴的汗流不停、咬牙切齒。尼可拉斯想起之前在監獄時，自己也曾斷他的蜘蛛腳──尼可拉斯大膽推測：蜘蛛腳是紅鶴的弱點。若能短時間全部砍斷，八隻腳或許都不能再生，擊敗紅鶴的關鍵就在這兒。994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTTLGuKeU6

「真難纏。」994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWED4373LGG
994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT366vptyE9
派翠克的眼裡閃過殺意，紅鶴擅自吻尼可拉斯的行為讓他十分憤怒。他揮動披風──彷彿變成武器，被披風打中的紅鶴就像被砍了一刀、胸口衣服破裂。派翠克拿出槍，直朝紅鶴的心臟扣下扳機。994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEst4zlRTiJ

「……！」994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoovoCo6Y6
994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB2C4Csc6p
雖然閃開，子彈還是射中紅鶴的右肩。毒素從肩膀暈開，中毒的紅鶴整個人摔到地面，右手開始脫力、握不住刀，所有蜘蛛腳像失去知覺般攤在地上，動也動不了。994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7iLdfgycG

派翠克張開雙手，公爵夫人的彩繪玻璃浮現在身後，七彩的光芒透過玻璃照射下來，同時，上百支白色狙擊槍出現在派翠克兩側，一齊瞄準。背光的派翠克臉上矇著陰影，低吼：994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aHCnC9u8s

語畢，所有槍枝扣下板機，子彈在空中爆裂，大量的紫色蜜液鋪天蓋地般淋下。看著空中的派翠克與紫色液體，紅鶴的眼神漸漸渙散，時間彷彿慢了下來──他想起一百年前的某個早晨，某個海島國家的某座城鎮，天空也下著恐怖的酸雨。994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08g22BnGaQ

身體被毒素侵蝕，體內出現微妙的化學反應。紅鶴難得恢復理智，沒了平時瘋瘋癲癲的模樣，意識比以往任何時候都要清晰。他想起白絃、想起他美麗的姊姊，心很久沒像這樣糾結，原來自己還有「快樂以外」的情緒。994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZTwoHviZh

語畢，派翠克的封鎖線全數斷裂，大量的蜘蛛絲從紅鶴腳下噴出。整個候機室開始震動、地板裂出巨大的坑，所有屍體、椅子、擺設都落入坑中，牆壁與天花板開始崩塌，碎石被蜘蛛絲捲到四面八方，紅鶴人也被蜘蛛絲包了起來、形成一個巨大的繭。994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPChwnb9C9
994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycCR1TIuQA
「唔啊！」994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AiySqTdqX
994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAReRSs9Sn
派翠克的槍枝盡數消失，體內的力量彷彿被吞噬，整個人摔進坑中。腎上腺素飆升的尼可拉斯掙脫束縛，飛快衝到派翠克身邊、抓住他的手。派翠克孔雀羽毛的披風因為震動脫落，掉到深不見底的坑洞裡。994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCINNh1QlbL

尼可拉斯將派翠克拉到地面，同時，紅鶴的蜘蛛絲彷彿有生命，派翠克才剛被拉上來，蜘蛛絲便猝不及防地撲向兩人，派翠克和尼可拉斯也被纏成一個繭，視野頓時陷入一片漆黑。994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO66zWHnasH

十秒後，繭破裂，景色恢復明朗，兩人卻被帶到另一個空間。音樂聲劃破空氣，剛剛的候機室完全消失，屍體、桌椅之類的雜物也不見，四周垂落暗紅色的帷幕，牆壁鑲嵌了數百音樂盒。尼可拉斯和派翠克正站在十公尺寬的舞台前，舞台背景是一尊巨大的女人雕像，派翠克一眼就認出雕像的臉。994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnuKj4oVNU

「白絃姊……？」994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ4yfxNqT3
994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN0zfbi9KM
沒錯，陌生的空間竟有一尊白絃的雕像。雕像的白絃宛如飄浮在空中，她雙腳微彎，身體微側，兩隻手藏在長長的袖子中，頭髮像被風吹起般披散後方。她閉著眼，像在聆聽什麼美麗的音樂，嘴角帶著淺淺笑意，莊嚴如神明。994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ5pk5kAGy

剛才明明在候機室，如今竟來到這樣一個地方。尼可拉斯驚訝到嘴巴微張，他問派翠克：「紅鶴不是水果塔後裔，為什麼可以……？」994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUTfchjlti
994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHBRG7bzHx
「『蜘蛛糖』。」994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEORHCmwBZ
994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuxUcL0bYe
派翠克說出了令尼可拉斯陌生又熟悉的詞。994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbnHFV0mqx
994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiufMVsXe0
「除了水果塔，還有一種藥物叫『蜘蛛糖』，屬性和水果塔相似，被注射的人會出現蜘蛛的特徵，最明顯的就是蜘蛛腳。」派翠克壓低聲音：「但它的副作用比水果塔強，幾乎沒有實驗體成功存活……至少我以為沒有。」994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDMVlfGQxt
994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUOTZ5lj2I
尼可拉斯終於將所有線索連貫起來，「所以，曾經是Knight隊長的紅鶴，離開艾莉絲體系後注射了蜘蛛糖，變成今天這個模樣？」994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdtbI2z38n
994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ3ZMCXJpR
「是的。」派翠克說：「跟他的打鬥讓我發現，他的意識非常混亂。雖然在笑，卻不是發自內心，他無法控制情緒，應該是蜘蛛糖的副作用之一。但剛剛的聲音、表情都和打鬥時不同，恐怕……！」994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLe5cuRFMI
994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8NV6DJzrW
說到一半，派翠克察覺到動靜、將尼可拉斯護在身後。紅鶴不知何時已經站在舞台中央，身上穿著一套粉紅色的英倫風制服，粉紅色的頭髮竟變成耳朵以上的長度，臉似乎也比之前年輕，看起來就像高中生，硬要和派翠克做出區別。994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAosGmGhq6
