2161年2月19日，早上九點，仙境大樓，三層552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE7jTCcmfK
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkbPuQj6oS
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHiZcrzdyG
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfvARa1T9d
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFZX6a5YL0
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnYA8Mvs02
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVp3aMhYpO
「我很困惑。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n5qf6Y7iy
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ283jvbnSEP
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？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy37Wgy0Dhq
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWGN2JcYDq
確實，賴梓綾的實際年齡只有八歲，卻有著高中生般的外表。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaOdAySWhh
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR41bHSkN8h
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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y9BttjiqD
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX8MTuglVZ
謝綠反駁：「因為他和MIO有過交換，那不一樣。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CWdy5Qjpc
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLslKfbppA
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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGCRTUtWK7
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDFPjNzuH5
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？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfLYWXvziY
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uq2dUirFy
「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？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv0twgz70t
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATmUH8Gqi9
「……。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiTD33PF7g
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a2RpzqV5Q
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAZt2mloYZ
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2UDGqxiyQ
「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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0pQVAuwkw
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdXRnQYEXn
謝綠問：「外表也不會因為年齡改變？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb0jQDGfrN
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLI1YRqUzV
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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH4fp651Q0
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVI6tH14tX
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？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmnNO6FVQT
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGI74mNUiG
「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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPdthW1YTT
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn34SrT1us
「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？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsXmTMyuiD
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPiLKKrtzl
「噢，妳指『都市氣爆案』嗎？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vjGCRE5GP
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3mMpYY1wV
MIO的話喚起葛蕾絲的回憶。江云格疑惑，「『都市氣爆案』？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT1ZTxYAAY
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aclyjZwUj
「小約翰曾經毀掉一個都市。」葛蕾絲解答。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq51LAwREC
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqEB1teBn0
「……這已經不是『闖禍』了。」李博洋傻眼，「小約翰這麼強？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJIEm391tQ
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP1BzyyFvx
「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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPH0Tj6bVj
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoqdMhpqWm
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XjhnXaaP3
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuC1neTlSF
「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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRZM59v3Ji
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF4DVumd4Q
「……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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7WXLzMqh3
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9a7OWsEGB
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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3QOZsSd2t
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCKAOZzvsE
眾人陷入沉默。不管聽幾次，第一代水果塔的故事都是悲劇。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoSsFkS6xK
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1qiSizELa
「我想，也是因為水果塔，賴梓綾才沒有外傷吧。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmq7ONAFar
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6BaSc1q9S
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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeWUyhLxIH
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYGyuZ75a2
「但賴梓綾會流血。」MIO舉手表示：「這跟小約翰又不一樣。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BRFoCTrrP
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRTwvmex8D
「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。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMjSz5pzpI
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6XJKt0dO2
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt1kJkeM8L
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyolTI48C6l
「弟弟？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhB7y6fMSn
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdssTYYgmK
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78vIU6H1wr
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL6Cyy9pvh
「……！」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozqAA7ysiJ
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkKi1dGYX0
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──552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5x3yaOLGy
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5OX2AX6nF
「啊啊……啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！！！」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx0v7XCqBa
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSogLoyVKhu
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKSa63XaJU
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4b5gmd8H2
「小綠！」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZreyUG2O2
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2isIYqoQx5
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8YGZ3j9bp
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaOV8w1yEp
「啊！啊啊！啊啊啊啊！」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHUvIYZrtB
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z0j8ELJeP
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPgQjXWaL0
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatAWjKY9Hq
「哥，你幹嘛？」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXONTP08Lv
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIC70PfBIE
「噓。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAa1ItH1uJ
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdReG8PHVc
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……！」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkgQmuxBTW
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiIxbYcnGa
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpbMNfHpqY
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIJHZ2S1NI
「……。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDyRh1iiYe
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBhJEOsaWY
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHkb5bsANX
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTXiKXXRwP
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgjMONJ5dq
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ITh2EHYfH
「噢呀。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0FIkkRrrN
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb0fk3FLnf
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：552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVVjBtF4oB
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nnjHLSire
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3YsNZJfFr
「噢呀。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q2QDHYMn7
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxtQd9iE8b
「噢呀……噢呀……！」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlz96GIxTV
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q0qXpueJN
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjj9dqEojX
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLkqPNPo08
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd8gA1jmR5
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TpnnGuvar
「仲翔。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhTcFFqisw
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRpvptyThA
他在叫他。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGvPUq8Wxq
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm8Hpb88MI
不是賴梓綾和李晴煬，是小約翰和李仲翔。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7H1p1Hieh
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aUSiHjyih
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1FjZzrgQm
「噢呀……！」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kwSvTR7jT
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqENuTuFpy
賴梓綾伸出手，抓住李晴煬的衣服。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh8SF0IM2b
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJkTHicsRQ
「嗚……噢呀……嗚嗚……！」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus9r0ARmu9
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPyZzHwG9y
她雙腿一軟、整個人跪到地上，眼淚莫名其妙流下來。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncer8e1N1D
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCScsMNrcZO
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EXauaJk0j
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3ehDMVXG1
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ0BJPcMQC
「來。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRm6njSh1e
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn6cdVKgDp
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRg28ghJW4
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaUICDz8U0
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40TnwfWVkg
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF44HNgLxV7
「這裡。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoK7cm1u4N
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutfZqZwVXd
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdFBJEnlVz
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJjOKDCkqX
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6Y3pxELrc
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxxtcNzu8s
「沒錯，就是這樣。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80dsvs6Ed5
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N7dK5k38Z
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUM4d05AYj
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1xGjv51DX
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqewjPXWyq9
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRcWsDeAsG
「只有你可以這麼做。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZle1dJ85ln
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XZ0WTRu9f
「只有你可以對我這麼做。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXiIyN170I
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLqjpiZWXo
「我接受你對我這麼做。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IOWRjFR5G
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnkuxVwQH7
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5sZgZycRS
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYxo4ii7OO
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8jqKH3yk6
「哥，這是……」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjTUfpwU39
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM2ga8crhq
「嗯。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwoFqFrnJY
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCvreR30xu
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。552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62L4zu6l14
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs02V1IWCTz
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPJ0Xat4bQ
「這就是愛。」552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2CLnVkFOg
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4tvqs2Ned
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRkU251hhK
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：552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX502lDX90z
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU8GZ32YAA
552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6Uuu52E1K
「這就是，你對我的愛。」
