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。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX06jbFW7Hi
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0nHDB46Be
「……。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV6WeqnRwb
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oFHXrPMSd
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。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkEcAI5uxs
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL89X65raLc
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uYgYqOyPK
「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……」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDGZ1mIHTr
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbASS0CQMKs
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUN39I16X8
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。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgak3nwOOX
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlezx1vAYXO
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。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRWouaBzzh
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kNHz7oA1j
「你是第一次參加？」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y2Kd9j1Ny
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs2uAT6TOe
李晴煬不知道怎麼開話題，謝綠率先開口，打破尷尬的氣氛。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPvfKHjn7k
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhMzHuhPuf
喝著專為小孩調配的無酒精雞尾酒，李晴煬回應：「嗯。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8hvIvavwu
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfYjm9WTBw
「之前為什麼缺席？」謝綠單刀直入地問。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVrKpviBvP
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkvzeOT64e
「討厭人多的地方。」李晴煬簡單回答。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvbeu5uzuu
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYtsxu6AO9
「今年又為什麼來？」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgkdzqF1NO
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcFYEY4k4B
「見見世面。」李晴煬聳肩，「不能一直窩在家裡。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRPmUdPaNW
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebA0Ae2oOD
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？」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYSMLRslJQ
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh7cDDMwnD
「八歲開始，這是第三次。」謝綠沒有逃避他的問題，老實回答。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuGwGWwbNK
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbPsnaqr6K
「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。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPRHntdUe5
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbVcVZTHyz
「還能因為什麼？我是被拖來的。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyX94QzQxI
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhHrkHh0zA
李晴煬聽見謝綠嘆氣的聲音。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED8RhXJShk
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WlvbjqxZ1
「在場的人，妳都認識嗎？」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e5d0HQcT3
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygevKjSdpk
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。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GdYEHH3jG
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJFOpewcKh
「大部分知道。」謝綠看向他，「你都不認識？」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3jM9MMolo
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIva58uSut1
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。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMwvbgKpIn
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWwllZn8cC
「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？」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1meKqMn9B0
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDtvKKS58i
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？」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeiIs0jxAj
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjqtQMNFxa
「嗯。」謝綠秒答，補了句：「活像個娘炮。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVZUXo0syP
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvJTlR2a64
「娘炮」兩字像一隻箭，狠狠從李晴煬胸前穿了過去。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1iV2886Ux
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMwnIVhi7A
「妳的穿衣品味才奇怪！哪有人古裝下面搭短裙！」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpzI1fvHOu
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xRiNdiAVJ
「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？」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMk228z2uu
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfSzojaqbz
「妳……！」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXcG8fxvMA
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRYT9ycRx8
「啊，這兒就行了，要從哪一家開始介紹呢……？」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAKVGaXafj
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs9rFhMlOi
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。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93NEVGVK4W
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7hZAmYlax
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。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIPfgWR9Wc
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwPN3tKqLQ
「你知道？」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH74eTsjrS
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGI2NSZp7w
「聽來的。」李晴煬說：「詳細不清楚。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CbwDeIuFF
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gdpkQjXtp
「嗯，看來我高估你了。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPcYT8R52b
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qmg28GM7P
李晴煬的嘴角抽動幾下。謝綠不理他，專心介紹：856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxZI3ZcqO8
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1ThGHi1FE
「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。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7QZeEUqfp
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLMzk0gZxs
謝綠雙手環胸，用一種非常帥氣的姿勢，靠在牆上。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNllRX1T3Gt
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfVe2K2k0c
「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。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmmrfUEwh1
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgBjUMLj9C
「他們平常都這樣，穿醫師袍晃來晃去？」李晴煬問。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnFV1jsAHq
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafnVpc9jRC
「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。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO351Mi7pr4
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPEPhb9qwv
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。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhoHAksefX
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXRnX0cVbC
「雷蒙一家。」謝綠說：「十大家族第八，時尚業的壟斷者。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTnUjT0MIi
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqduzB0luA8
「時…時尚？」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc8pXZ4SEF
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS49adTuT4U
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。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARgrWswCyu
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivKgx6HWut
「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。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHdnCT7dh5
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhgaH9YD4I
「穿這種衣服還能笑……要是本少爺，恨不得死了個算了。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNiZSHJP4C
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiAZ1fIu8N
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。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGp4g4nzaC
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen9gKheDyp
「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。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsvc9gMaou
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEMWpVRMkC
「……不把那身恐怖的衣服脫掉，本少爺無法體會。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOoLfglSTJ
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpT4JMxYxm
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。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOshyjMwqN
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUGst82F0R
「那又是誰？」李晴煬問謝綠。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpMmGl2we7
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OxC06F7AT
「史密斯馬戲團，十大家族第七，慈善事業。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQGcGrIUFM
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq2rpnu03q
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。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR4oSUSJKn
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKzYwJAykD
「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。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkjTsXsnYc
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMvW8gmIXS
「聽起來很偉大。」李晴煬附和。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39bqWj5rUL
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVrX7wJ1tE
「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。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtqcVKvNop
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q1bZZ8YcQ
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。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3JKlz5Zhw
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1GN56JYOj
「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。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeYvLbkntV
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HMWBXxMFD
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。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuJ513Yl7E
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmZZQ1r7Mp
「他們漂浮在空中？」李晴煬踮腳尖，試著看清楚。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM9clHnqdR
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv27RqXt5SR
「嗯，他們腳底的投影圖騰，那是漂浮裝置。」謝綠說。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVVPpmUlJz
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDl5M8ZqHk
「背上那又是什麼？翅膀？」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlC5rVTMhf
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpftTRb1uRe
「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。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUgPytexgZ
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tinN5DCrm
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。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax0Tjn135o
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzjKTJCSwa
「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？」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnhvpxwbmu
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWARUmS8VXM
「妳怎麼只介紹八個？」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eg7QerH7u
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZN2TOO4xz
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。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMCTA6a0gP
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQZxvcvyd8
「沒介紹的兩家，都沒有出席。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8o4x2jp9a
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06lWSvPrv9
不等李晴煬問，謝綠就告訴他：856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMfdmRZFbk
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAP5eVqefk
「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。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww68NOAcfB
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFddQryBcfc
「這樣也算十大家族？」李晴煬立刻問。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHdh94YGEN
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IYjW6bkSQ
「我也不知道，但神秘歸神秘，他們也沒做什麼。」謝綠聳肩。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77BTOgUJSK
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbya2CEJoZ7
「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？」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6yeDCXhhY
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwnEkg1LNq
「別說『這種場合』，高宇維連自己的活動都不出席。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdkTP6JOar
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mvTFgJGxC
謝綠說，似是對高宇維的缺席見怪不怪。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10fEO4eG7N
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCHRkEAdLZ
「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──」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXFbFFwLrm
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vRy2ma9XE
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。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3TGE5TvvJ
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F8N2dnqcY
「……。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YUfqzLXYT
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UtK3Y6k1F
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogLR1juUD6
一名白色頭髮的男子，正從遠遠的地方看著他們。856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVvnEzhS29
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzFm6By2NM
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6m6WYuPXg
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：856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNSSg6FGsf
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNlcXUipnQ
「可是今年，高宇維派他的親信來了。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKAfReDKK5
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI27fqKkij
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？」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWCCaDLB8e
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub7VKHoKDV
「對，親信──你聽過神與畜吧？他是第一幹部、地位僅次於高宇維。」856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lKZp21srh
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUuVPpcyyD
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──856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ivqavuF2y
856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmyecEh7ef
「里奧．懷特。」8964 copyright protection852ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz1HgaPbyG 維尼
