854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTNQCZzTry
主辦人──薩拉凱爾教教主致詞後，晚宴在七點準時開始。現場準備許多珍饈佳餚，世界最知名的樂隊在前方演奏，機器服務生送來各式各樣的美酒。原本以為是嚴肅的宴會，沒想到氣氛活潑，像屬於貴族的派對。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNEXhlnz4P

「……。」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5CQCmQ3cf
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEEr32JB4w
不過，他現在很尷尬。謝賢讓他和謝綠獨處，顧爾不能在隨侍在旁。李晴煬和謝綠靠在牆邊，不知道要說什麼。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SpAQFI31J
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9m4ajWFXv

「觀自在菩薩。行深般若波羅蜜多時。照見五蘊皆空。度一切苦厄。舍利子。色不異空。空不異色。色即是空。空即是色……」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyrRwf7e4T
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYYg7Z8xON
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxiHWuz0Bv
和晚宴氣氛很不相符，他竟然從謝綠身上，聽到和尚誦經的聲音；因為太另類，李晴煬對她留下深刻的印象。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx6G8zkvWY
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyGL3WqZZU
而且，謝綠很漂亮──李晴煬無法否認，眼前的女孩讓他十分著迷，尤其是草綠色的眼睛。她渾身散發一個「靜」字，小小年紀，彷彿看透很多事。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nYvAH6Liu
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AbTenyWwT
「你是第一次參加？」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBribCq77p
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik6pdqsi3o
李晴煬不知道怎麼開話題，謝綠率先開口，打破尷尬的氣氛。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTEpD0MsB8
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscZt09ztcv
喝著專為小孩調配的無酒精雞尾酒，李晴煬回應：「嗯。」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpW84RnkbJ
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgHSFyXH6S
「之前為什麼缺席？」謝綠單刀直入地問。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp0RYqFiVg
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXNNcIfiPY
「討厭人多的地方。」李晴煬簡單回答。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJYpLvIiTg
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0E0G61HXe
「今年又為什麼來？」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ527F5RIrdm
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqvo32w7SI
「見見世面。」李晴煬聳肩，「不能一直窩在家裡。」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIzPkJhq1a
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2yP4n6xWR
謝綠沉默。李晴煬覺得剛才的氣氛不錯，換他問：「妳呢？每年都來？」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XQ2sv9A7M
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlas9CeKBFG
「八歲開始，這是第三次。」謝綠沒有逃避他的問題，老實回答。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJLRHNj7tE
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSysEy4dD5
「為什麼？」李晴煬看著謝綠厭世的臉，「妳不像喜歡這種場合的人。」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8j3hYbMY5
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a9rgWhwJn
「還能因為什麼？我是被拖來的。」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHsBqnsRfc
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0qKQfkXr4
李晴煬聽見謝綠嘆氣的聲音。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA5JEtDePI
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAVXAy8xNZ
「在場的人，妳都認識嗎？」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5ZrCVUfOR
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvLZXOwMeN
謝綠一定知道十大家族的事，李晴煬決定問問，以免氣氛又變尷尬。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8gMKzhb6M
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85keuPX3ht
「大部分知道。」謝綠看向他，「你都不認識？」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv7IKmX1be
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9gsnjZdVJ
李晴煬點頭。謝綠沉默幾秒，「好吧。」帶李晴煬去角落，好一次看到全部的人。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U56Ux1g2A
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWskI6cOXPo
「我一直很想問。」前往角落的路上，謝綠上上下下審視他一番，「李門的穿衣品味都這麼怪？」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJcHhpYSyn
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHafMcu5Zn1
李晴煬想回答「妳以為我願意嗎？」但不像自己會說的話，改用挑釁的語氣：「怎麼？本少爺這樣不好看？」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPiLFAHoNO
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtEAurXaGs
「嗯。」謝綠秒答，補了句：「活像個娘炮。」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDng1Xfuyq
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKVTjrcnh1
「娘炮」兩字像一隻箭，狠狠從李晴煬胸前穿了過去。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEtTVo2A7l
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WIg0rMC7D
「妳的穿衣品味才奇怪！哪有人古裝下面搭短裙！」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHyMScuzym
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKPd1hAPry
「比較好活動。」謝綠哼了一聲，「我父親都沒說什麼，你管那麼多幹嘛？」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRqljtjYxj
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8Cop556YF
「妳……！」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWaXRfsCL7
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmfTJcZ3yo
「啊，這兒就行了，要從哪一家開始介紹呢……？」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO3pQd8AOT
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicmDnFtMGE
謝綠規避掉話題。雖然表情不多、年紀又小，但她講話很不客氣，顯然沒在怕李晴煬。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC9BoN7RcN
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvRBMqpkTx
李晴煬撇了撇嘴，順著謝綠手指的方向看去──那群穿醫師袍的年輕人。李晴煬率先說：「希波克拉底一脈。」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8HStbCmh0
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SZIZYVsBT
「你知道？」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic32mbGiKn
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6gy0fTgVC
「聽來的。」李晴煬說：「詳細不清楚。」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISsYQmlahm
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGqUxgA0U9
「嗯，看來我高估你了。」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXUweuFpiq
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV3c17vtqx
李晴煬的嘴角抽動幾下。謝綠不理他，專心介紹：854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5biiaqGj2q
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWLVBva0rs
「希波克拉底一脈，十大家族第九，擅長領域是醫學，家族成員都是醫生、藥劑師、法醫、醫檢師……全世界的醫院，背後的經營者都是他們。」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKHyxWXpvn
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83GbMIrpb6
謝綠雙手環胸，用一種非常帥氣的姿勢，靠在牆上。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nEDpKbF86
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNlVUGmTHK
「傳說他們的家族成員，全是古希臘時代的醫學大師──希波克拉底的後代。但年代久遠，沒有統一姓氏，才用祖先的名字統稱。」謝綠說。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4QdSPUVgy
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkzxJuODSB
「他們平常都這樣，穿醫師袍晃來晃去？」李晴煬問。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82GCB9XAGf
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbCR26PIOK
「每個家族都有自己的穿衣風格。希波克拉底一脈以醫生為榮，醫師袍是身分的象徵。」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡage8mlpMs0
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB4iSH94ri
謝綠的眼睛改看向另一群人。李晴煬順著她的視線看去──把滾筒衛生紙裹在身上的貴婦。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6smmNEHs8
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT0ptmkhQL
「雷蒙一家。」謝綠說：「十大家族第八，時尚業的壟斷者。」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIntO30PUb
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yvxsR435s
「時…時尚？」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA8nLzWYbp
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoABbq1RbED
李晴煬挑眉。不只捲筒衛生紙，有人的髮型像花椰菜，有人的洋裝像菜瓜布，還有一個女人的披肩是黑色垃圾袋。時尚真難懂。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RlyKAXlBK
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA7n8i3mQR
「今年算收斂了。」謝綠看出李晴煬的疑惑，告訴他：「我去年，看過把色鉛筆插在頭上的。」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s236cZlBJ
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1Mj3tcvcQ
「穿這種衣服還能笑……要是本少爺，恨不得死了個算了。」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDNyKhMmUt
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGc5WvvHqc
李晴煬說完，聽見謝綠發出輕輕的笑聲。沒想到她會笑──李晴煬心想，心情不自覺好起來。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1icdrCMKX
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnWISyvNop
「雷蒙一家旗下的品牌，從服裝到飾品，還有專門培訓藝人的經紀公司；另外，他們家的物流技術也很創新，不少零售店搶著和他們合作。」謝綠故意補充：「而且，他們家的人都很漂亮。」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSfRS8AyH8
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVaETavZMe
「……不把那身恐怖的衣服脫掉，本少爺無法體會。」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b3WXRnK90
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHIiKiECdH
視線離開雷蒙一家，李晴煬改看向另一群──正在會場中央表演魔術、射飛鏢、拋彩球的馬戲團人士。晚宴的氣氛之所以活潑，都拜這群小丑所賜。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vVaed43G0
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU1IuZJvT6
「那又是誰？」李晴煬問謝綠。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L3zvVcsIQ
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrinQukvvc
「史密斯馬戲團，十大家族第七，慈善事業。」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtICrSnmax
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMAlb3lNsf
謝綠說完，其中一名史密斯變出一堆彩色氣球，逗得周遭人笑聲不斷、表情又驚又喜。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHPfTVDabb
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14I7fCrVzA
「史密斯居無定所，他們在全世界巡迴演出，收入都拿去照顧弱勢，是聲望很高的家族，但也因為這樣，他們不是很富有。」謝綠說。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0poT0hW78x
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbATQ6ErkG0
「聽起來很偉大。」李晴煬附和。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF0M1Tilpq
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8871UVdwD
「坦白說，他們挺奇妙的。聖誕晚宴是史密斯少數參加的活動，其他正式場合，一概不參加。」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYP6HdBcRi
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVohBskQFWO
介紹完，謝綠的手指向另一群人。李晴煬剛好想問，畢竟，他看那群光速戰士很久了。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZEObbAidb
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5FHIRzIDO
「白與金，統稱Platinum。白家壟斷科技，金家壟斷軍火，兩家因為婚姻關係結合。十大家族第五和第六，是非常強的軍火聯盟，絕對不容小覷。」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaBonkpZdB
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql7lLjDUXS
李晴煬對他們的服裝更感興趣。謝氏像武俠小說的角色，Platinum則是遊戲，會發射高速激光的那種。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5Ff0p2THz
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9SCvR8Ixl
「他們漂浮在空中？」李晴煬踮腳尖，試著看清楚。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jmOrn9ZIr
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kKc7b28bc
「嗯，他們腳底的投影圖騰，那是漂浮裝置。」謝綠說。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx67O5HgeW
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB7HHbG0dU
「背上那又是什麼？翅膀？」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xQfMJehSB
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eE0lphCqF
「那也是投影，圖案會隨他們的情緒變化……你看，變成橘色了，那個人現在心情很好。」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZPbVlfhO1
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlripSg76au
Platinum的穿衣風格非常前衛。移動時，兩腳懸浮在空中，衣服還會飄起來，浮空時的畫面很好看，但科技感太強，給人的感覺很不真實。明明是人類，卻把自己弄得像機器人。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPHeTAUkRR
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUXmC6ctQJ
「黑色教袍的是薩拉凱爾教、十八世紀貴族打扮的是李門、像從漢朝穿越來的是謝氏……這些你都知道了。」謝綠把胸前的手放下來，看著李晴煬的臉，「還有不知道的嗎？」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjua2hdbZ8D
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7fDdYXbKm
「妳怎麼只介紹八個？」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBRg637w4P
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6QHLsQl6p
李晴煬發現，前後的高宇維與夏家，謝綠都沒有說。聽完他的問題，謝綠意味深長地陷入沉默，沉默持續了一陣子。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiyQQlZZsx
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3tJJOZ0t6
「沒介紹的兩家，都沒有出席。」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u6eoRKNAV
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRUPdYXera
不等李晴煬問，謝綠就告訴他：854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x940C7a1l
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor9BAomell
「夏家……十大家族第十，是非常奇怪的家族。他們比高宇維還神秘，沒有人知道他們在做什麼、裡面有誰，連他們住在哪都不知道。」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj7lTbO1K5
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i5lW9wRmY
「這樣也算十大家族？」李晴煬立刻問。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuv0hmQip0
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrodhcu3tk
「我也不知道，但神秘歸神秘，他們也沒做什麼。」謝綠聳肩。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeTkdVvz5j
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdYE1BVdiN
「高宇維呢？」問完夏家，李晴煬再問另一個缺席者：「他這麼跩，這種場合都不來？」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j3phQXtdZ
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMAEYougbu
「別說『這種場合』，高宇維連自己的活動都不出席。」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEqoHRxm82
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP8VyrJTEd
謝綠說，似是對高宇維的缺席見怪不怪。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBxYc9SKEq
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinDlSpMTDW
「我不知道怎麼說，高宇維好像不喜歡其他家族，想和我們劃清關係，可是──」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1GdpKiI9F
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mp5kP5IuU
謝綠把話停在這兒。她的眼神突然變得十分銳利、似乎在警戒什麼。李晴煬順著她的視線看去，赫然對上一雙眼睛，嚇得他後退兩步。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONsfGizQfU
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUlLpbrf6Q
「……。」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROjvXqYAdW
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEphc3m5LRm
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6prDFrTJD
一名白色頭髮的男子，正從遠遠的地方看著他們。854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST5ngCeFjX
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB4h4ncyMs
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfUxtzoVSF
男子是整個會場，唯一穿著正常西裝的人。他離李晴煬和謝綠很遠，但筆直的視線彷彿要把刺穿。李晴煬不自覺感到緊張，旁邊的謝綠瞪了回去，跟李晴煬說：854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSMhYA6yyk
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPskOENY4gT
「可是今年，高宇維派他的親信來了。」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdftImO1IBR
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8hF98jyP1
謝綠不敢掉以輕心，就怕一不留神，男子會做出不利她的舉動。李晴煬問謝綠：「親信？」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdkC9YgaKX
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkBVw3bqSt
「對，親信──你聽過神與畜吧？他是第一幹部、地位僅次於高宇維。」854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsCgCFwf34
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchvIiPv13B
謝綠的雙刀已經蓄勢待發。她一手握住刀柄，說出那個禁忌的名字──854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p3NAeWZSU
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN78qu5cAG
