2161年2月19日，早上九點，仙境大樓，三層529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4wrQUu4xM
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf01YkDSL9O
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXXl3GkXQo
同一天的早晨，大西洋的另一端，里奧、葛蕾絲、李博洋、MIO、江云格、謝綠，六人聚集在三樓，討論他們新加入的成員。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcL9Yb6gwH
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS3g4CW2hL
賴梓綾，主教賴霜原的三女兒，因為白化症被視為薩拉凱爾教的惡魔。被帶回仙境大樓後，她一直處於昏迷狀態，昨晚謝綠和葛蕾絲幫她洗了澡，此刻的賴梓綾躺在三樓的長沙發，蓋著一條暖和的被子。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d6GirZbH8
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9VYCScuDC
「我很困惑。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtjheXnbHh
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vZIpGPcxE
在旁照顧人的謝綠，手輕輕放在賴梓綾的被子上，問大家：「按照出生日期，她應該小我六歲，怎麼外表看起來比我年長？」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9Zj2aUxPY
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEImNw4Xgq
確實，賴梓綾的實際年齡只有八歲，卻有著高中生般的外表。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ3WqnjkUQ
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8GbAZmR4n
坐在高腳椅上的李博洋表示：「我弟實際年齡只有十六，看起來也像二十幾歲呀。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrUzwGLphN
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZKnOWvFfn
謝綠反駁：「因為他和MIO有過交換，那不一樣。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0WmiaPuaJ
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRJdM4tAnR
李博洋的視線移到謝綠旁的江云格，「云格實際年齡也不到十歲，還不是長這樣。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSuLwtprJk
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v9mIGL3or
江云格苦笑，「我是貓，不能用人類的方式計算年紀。」也想到：「會不會是因為水果塔？我記得，賴梓綾繼承的是睡鼠？」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLDzeEvTiY
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG3BluzVi0
「睡鼠……很少聽到的名字。」謝綠說出大家的心聲，她問里奧和葛蕾絲：「那是什麼樣的水果塔？」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSACe7OpN6P
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Af4lsLJRP
「……。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe61BmB7C3U
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH1hbpw3Sn
只要妹妹在場，里奧幾乎不開口，葛蕾絲會幫他說話。這一次，葛蕾絲用奇怪的眼神看著里奧，好像在用眼神交流，思考該怎麼回答。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYpmni9l8p
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn6hlkFKd8
「第一代水果塔『睡鼠（The Dormouse）』，我們叫他小約翰（Yohanna），本名不清楚，只知道他姓賴。」葛蕾絲坐在另一張沙發，「他的水果塔叫『水晶』，顧名思義，是跟礦物有關的能力，他的身體由各式各樣的礦物組成。因為不是血肉之軀，小約翰的身體很硬、力氣很大，就算受傷，恢復速度也很快。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5vZS4f1eM
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOJppg4Eun
謝綠問：「外表也不會因為年齡改變？」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKarnMWXccp
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgJLuoTA1X
葛蕾絲想了想，「好像是。我記憶中的小約翰，一直都是深藍色頭髮、綁著兩條辮子的小孩，外表很像女孩子。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk4b8FsXwD
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iXiDnW2id
謝綠發現葛蕾絲的口氣很奇怪，「葛蕾絲姊，妳是不是也不清楚？」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvgw9zjT2m
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtALpIL63Ee
「哈哈，被發現了。」葛蕾絲尷尬一笑，「不只我們，大部分的第一代水果塔，都跟小約翰不熟。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeYNB7Ngmz
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXOH7dU2rv
「媽媽的記憶裡也沒有他。」MIO坐在李博洋的大腿上，轉了轉黑色的眼珠，「不過，好像有一點點點點點點……印象，他是不是闖過禍？」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qds97JZ6W
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJg3LEnF0g
「噢，妳指『都市氣爆案』嗎？」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGWM0kPT5E
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uQr8ayNrj
MIO的話喚起葛蕾絲的回憶。江云格疑惑，「『都市氣爆案』？」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZdwNEHG5K
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ7TncEh6r
「小約翰曾經毀掉一個都市。」葛蕾絲解答。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs92TiC3xZe
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm6IIpY7cX
「……這已經不是『闖禍』了。」李博洋傻眼，「小約翰這麼強？」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABd9VmhiEL
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLfXwaOlDi
「不，小約翰攻擊時，只能讓地板、牆壁長出一堆水晶柱。論一對一單挑，他的實力比不上其他人。」葛蕾絲附上但書：「但他的操控範圍，是第一代水果塔裡最廣的。當年他情緒失控，讓整個城市──包括地上、地下──全部佈滿他的水晶柱，引發大規模的氣爆和火災，死了好幾百人，最後是獅鷲出手揍他，才結束掉那場災難。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToZtEN9NfR
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMT6YFO9SU
葛蕾絲說，旁邊的里奧也被喚醒記憶。他那時收到高宇維的通知，然後李仲翔出現、用白色空間將他帶到現場。父親給他的任務只有一個：從火海中救出倖存者，救一個算一個。里奧穿梭在火焰中，空氣中瀰漫人被燒死的味道，還要防範四面八發的水晶，有的上面插著死人……天啊，真的是災難。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2teARj5OH
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNlFpy0rWY
「那之後，夏悠將小約翰交給李仲翔，也多虧他，小約翰沒有再失控，和李仲翔的感情非常好，大家都覺得很神奇。」葛蕾絲表示：「李仲翔是冷漠的人，但他對小約翰……怎麼說，溺愛嗎？小約翰每天黏著他，李仲翔也不覺得煩，還很疼他。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrs1kJr030
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrYajEXFV3
「……只有李仲翔知道小約翰的本名。」里奧終於開口說話：「也因為李仲翔，小約翰是『白色仲夏』的一員，最後被獅鷲殺死。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOpEG7priy
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3kmYozxJ2
葛蕾絲嘆氣，「小約翰死後，李仲翔就瘋了。他很強，無論如何都能保持冷靜、作出正確的判斷；就算打不贏獅鷲，也不至於被殺。因為小約翰先死，李仲翔失去理智、喪失判斷能力，最後也被獅鷲殺了。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgssfl3bbZV
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm6dKiR7vd
眾人陷入沉默。不管聽幾次，第一代水果塔的故事都是悲劇。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrvSF4j4Cr
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbdCaqjy2k
「我想，也是因為水果塔，賴梓綾才沒有外傷吧。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHnOcC6Owh
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy4rI3O47A
不喜歡沉默的葛蕾絲轉換話題。她用輕鬆的口氣說，試著緩和氣氛，「明明被殘忍對待，我和小綠幫她洗澡時，卻沒在她身上看到疤痕。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwlPRoujff
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjiuOkKTQD
「但賴梓綾會流血。」MIO舉手表示：「這跟小約翰又不一樣。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6thqr7JZ8
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGBDVCUtQe
「因為水果塔沒有完全覺醒。小約翰的身體由礦物組成，不吃東西也能活，但你們看，賴梓綾長期營養不良，瘦得只剩骨架，要是她的水果塔已經覺醒，不會有這種問題。」葛蕾絲再說：「賴梓綾體內的睡鼠，目前只有『恢復速度快』，其它有待觀察。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBOYiSQfDq
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3aHzZLjPH
葛蕾絲說完，某人也來到三樓──剛睡醒的李晴煬突然走進來，MIO跟他說早安，李晴煬卻沒有回應。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRrdZH84Df
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r65ygKeVK
「弟弟？」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rsiUf4KRi
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuyAVT40O2
李博洋覺得奇怪。自己就算了，平常的李晴煬不會忽略MIO。不只沒回應，李晴煬的眼神、表情都異常呆滯，渾身散發的氣場很不對勁。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdx6fWxQbu
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcS4GcxyoU
「……！」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RzTkdsYkp
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMGJl6Pm51
就在此時，沙發上的賴梓綾猛然睜開眼睛。謝綠正想關心她，賴梓綾卻把她的手打開，開始尖叫──529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tcsEAIwkw
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshAY3vZKPe
「啊啊……啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！！！」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvgXmwd7FE
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYdtleHfGp
賴梓綾不會說話，看到人會本能性地發狂。她恐慌，她害怕，覺得所有人都會拿東西砍她的腳、刺她的身體、拔她的指甲，所以她拼命掙扎，推開謝綠，兩個人一起摔到地上。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF9bwerC9o
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4j5hXxmpa
「小綠！」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp1IGzj2gG
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqBUhmuM8I
江云格也上前，靠體型優勢抓住賴梓綾的手，但少女像一隻動物，竟然狠狠咬住江云格的手臂，逼得江云格不得不放開，被咬的地方當場流血。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzCWsRj9em
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKrm89aS21
「啊！啊啊！啊啊啊啊！」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFejMk5dSa
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kotD6fypA
賴梓綾失控，李博洋抱著MIO退到旁邊，目睹一切的葛蕾絲原本要出手，卻被里奧攔下。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevzyBAW3Ec
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCzXD45uAd
「哥，你幹嘛？」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BlJxcaV3V
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58gbsjkHh7
「噓。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJdmuqulnI
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenZ2gCB5D4
里奧叫葛蕾絲別出聲，眼神示意大家退到牆邊。此刻的賴梓綾彷彿一隻白色、有著紅眼睛的野獸，如今面對這頭野獸的，只剩李晴煬一人。
「啊啊！啊……啊啊啊……！」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZV9Bti7VK
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFYl4PYUFB
賴梓綾仍在吼叫，奇怪的是，原本全身緊繃、警戒四周的她，看見李晴煬的那一剎那，四肢漸漸放鬆，失控的情緒竟緩和下來。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcaS1JM6fm
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPxltVouJN
「……。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5MaEDWO8U
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AVeUnzJWF
李晴煬依然面無表情。他看著賴梓綾，賴梓綾也看著他，兩雙紅色的眼睛對上彼此，然後，賴梓綾用那雙細細的手，撐起身子，慢慢站起來。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXisxYAUNQ
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZbVTUxFtX
雖然身材消瘦，但賴梓綾站起來的瞬間，在場六人都嚇了一跳。上一秒是野獸，此刻閉上嘴巴、靜靜站在那裡時，他們才驚覺這是多麼漂亮的人──及腰的白色長髮，白雪般的肌膚，扇子般的白色睫毛，搭配一雙淺紅色的眼睛，好像從童話故事走出來的雪精靈。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpAQy6a7yl
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiodpT4t27q
「噢呀。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneG1xhF0sn
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CPTsIkGZx
然後，賴梓綾緩緩地，朝李晴煬走去。她不會說話，但跟剛才的尖叫不同，她對著李晴煬、發出聲音：529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HpH95YEeQ
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bwBkeffUI
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bwqa0EjUQ
「噢呀。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRzxuHnlIc
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX1lVnoGsw
「噢呀……噢呀……！」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5U8qzRUc9
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5b9wdZvXE
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFKPeKMHqv
聲音有起伏、有語調，謝綠和江云格不知道，但MIO、李博洋、葛蕾絲、里奧四人，一聽就知道賴梓綾在說什麼。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK06vM46Cp
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvbgsSoiKg
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nEJuuUnYO
「仲翔。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliQBEP2WDp
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQX8lnQRKG
他在叫他。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TvHCKTvYX
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYpy66MBER
不是賴梓綾和李晴煬，是小約翰和李仲翔。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUziXQxpnpg
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk0tW33QYf
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUfxaqSLXI
「噢呀……！」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsQ13mnCBe
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsls0dpSZk
賴梓綾伸出手，抓住李晴煬的衣服。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXdGoseXuH
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtSoqVmQFR
「嗚……噢呀……嗚嗚……！」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP1BVq7N57
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOWzzE3iBY
她雙腿一軟、整個人跪到地上，眼淚莫名其妙流下來。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FbK0GFg0e
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoLqhXOYNM
賴梓綾開始哭，哭得非常、非常傷心。一直沒反應的李晴煬，突然彎下腰、單膝跪地，做出令人費解的舉動──他從口袋拿出刀子，讓賴梓綾拿著；再握住她的手，讓賴梓綾在他的食指劃上一刀，割出一個口子。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1SipiTx8f
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx5EQGfZjh
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK53pOsI4iF
「來。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu15GCn1pzc
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljcdi1Fp6O
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONyXusWhi2
李晴煬終於開口，但那個聲音不像他，李晴煬不會用夾帶氣音的方式說話。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCGs7alMUR
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz5N8vqsjE
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3rshDDkbi
「這裡。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPVpcuPKAE
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMHSnYjnc1
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLVioMiykJ
李晴煬將自己食指上的血，抹在賴梓綾的手上。他露出恐怖又溫柔的微笑，將賴梓綾沾滿血的手指放到自己嘴角，輕輕挪動賴梓綾的手指。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGH8gHMz7D
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4mqikH05f
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDZw1Vsbsr
「沒錯，就是這樣。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVUYSxB4Lh
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77RYEbLhP7
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlWseBXjX5
李晴煬對她說。賴梓綾停下眼淚，先看自己的手，再看李晴煬的臉……好像被引導到什麼之中，不用李晴煬幫忙，賴梓綾慢慢移動手指，彷彿，用血在李晴煬的臉上畫畫。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG5wc5FgSS
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlp8QoTw8T
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd8mj5xCQb
「只有你可以這麼做。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8jYwbPqrA
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnCb8LeNsU
「只有你可以對我這麼做。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLn5NZytv7
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFVL7t8Ipw
「我接受你對我這麼做。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3Ab3QriYG
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYwS4zCYlF
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZubCtHbzC
李晴煬一邊說，一邊笑，一邊睜大他的眼睛。血沿著嘴角往上畫，畫到左耳的耳根子邊。在場所有人都傻在原地，眼前的畫面太詭異、太奇怪、太……可怕，尤其是李晴煬的聲音，他的話有頭沒尾，令人毛骨悚然。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttPtIP1aiv
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5CbxH95AJ
「哥，這是……」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvLzioNBZC
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzm0WMO3iz
「嗯。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU7FjTvQCv
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k1JzVe8vP
里奧和葛蕾絲看著兩人，眼前的畫面與一百年前重疊，李仲翔抓著小約翰的手，把自己的身體當成畫布，給小約翰作畫。529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvr9xckH3q
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPWipdf0i1
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugZ17I8aaA
「這就是愛。」529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX4tY4tjVu
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmxofgVxt2
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E4oicajgn
一百年前的李仲翔、一百年後的李晴煬，用很輕的聲音，告訴一百年前的小約翰、一百年後的賴梓綾：529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvjKPZNt5j
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJrW0Rn7tD
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y7Z2WxtJV
「這就是，你對我的愛。」
然後按「加至主畫面」
