2154年12月24日，晚上七點，黑教堂853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeOxi5WCAT

853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgd5Bc2IL4
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADkyKHgNtH
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRvVO0MnYD
「……。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbCRzs0PwD
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9k8pdo8UB
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLLxaMuvI2
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiorgu5KDt
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalRJ8tKyYt
「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……」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxq0NzX8Nt
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLgviWlcOv
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F0MvD2XAS
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsoVaH81Vs
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuSmeN8NVw
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgrdX7UTcT
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgC4gqP2ik
「你是第一次參加？」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dZrEXgc1s
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHvfGOHNN0
李晴煬不知道怎麼開話題，謝綠率先開口，打破尷尬的氣氛。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvccIE1h4AA
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNxqaKvfQR
喝著專為小孩調配的無酒精雞尾酒，李晴煬回應：「嗯。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsilPT7u1T8
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcX5aPXIDm
「之前為什麼缺席？」謝綠單刀直入地問。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc2dG9AwXV
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3bCo1pNBp
「討厭人多的地方。」李晴煬簡單回答。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxeQBRBT9h
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHy4lk6to0
「今年又為什麼來？」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl96u29aFKP
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdQMbxlXAh
「見見世面。」李晴煬聳肩，「不能一直窩在家裡。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2TmJ2vH01
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRoMHOqAPk
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？」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwEK1xH8bO
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFVB93LYy3
「八歲開始，這是第三次。」謝綠沒有逃避他的問題，老實回答。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxFjyAH5oN
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsIh5YHzMU
「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。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDoL0LJ4LT
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm18ymeLY96
「還能因為什麼？我是被拖來的。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG57d4rZjh
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2eJ3qOtkg
李晴煬聽見謝綠嘆氣的聲音。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpjjWeNCFx
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBamg9GRjdD
「在場的人，妳都認識嗎？」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxQ5FEuZeg
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSY7n6gC1X
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrrfyqbo2l
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvY96sceSf
「大部分知道。」謝綠看向他，「你都不認識？」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUpRMsX8I7
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPIPGrXt3z
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmIaVb4vhY
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz61BtNJabv
「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？」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTBFm6ABl2
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFd1y9RJjB
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？」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp1JXqvASe
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ5AjwDe5D
「嗯。」謝綠秒答，補了句：「活像個娘炮。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh3pa2QEUZ
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0GqpLEsyg
「娘炮」兩字像一隻箭，狠狠從李晴煬胸前穿了過去。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhKHleuu9L
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lJIFJtAWU
「妳的穿衣品味才奇怪！哪有人古裝下面搭短裙！」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2POwhAJdW
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFz8ZyBSFQ
「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？」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb60LD7JMI
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR4LrQVETp
「妳……！」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK8K1gy6Tt
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wAc2sREKH
「啊，這兒就行了，要從哪一家開始介紹呢……？」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETMWPIssKa
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnUScVXqcv
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseFsaZt8Kq
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUQ788n8DO
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。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Yi0s6mgZq
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFLoTrfzAi
「你知道？」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhW4HQ3uJZ
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW98rdZWIU
「聽來的。」李晴煬說：「詳細不清楚。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP78HCQfSAw
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96Kij6KX7G
「嗯，看來我高估你了。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DFuhOMNGE
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFrU0eOd70
李晴煬的嘴角抽動幾下。謝綠不理他，專心介紹：853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07X6kMWlWM
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC9d8U2hJR
「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。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlLv8e77RC
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSFfKYIHbt
謝綠雙手環胸，用一種非常帥氣的姿勢，靠在牆上。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn5THIZuSq
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG49EIP21fy
「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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2unMSwMZGd
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW3hS2mgai
「他們平常都這樣，穿醫師袍晃來晃去？」李晴煬問。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqsVXXzjvu
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5e3QbQvwl
「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。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8rnWl5fEX
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2nEHX83SS
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKofM74CsJ
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDrQtjKPzF
「雷蒙一家。」謝綠說：「十大家族第八，時尚業的壟斷者。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVLeXBJjD6
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0Mbb3vPaw
「時…時尚？」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjzIhvN6ZD
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBGwsZH1W8
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt5bhrp9AE
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfwKda3QYO
「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。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAQd3MFGSV
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikK45gYted
「穿這種衣服還能笑……要是本少爺，恨不得死了個算了。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhv5YwtXRg
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5D5COawQQ
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7bDrlGgu7
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFq89Cxn7O
「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。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjKqfLgJMb
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L7omF7B6d
「……不把那身恐怖的衣服脫掉，本少爺無法體會。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfW2QoStQf
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Mf5y9xADR
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQGRHcx6Ab
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjNAm3KowV
「那又是誰？」李晴煬問謝綠。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EO2fWx559
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWD9X9SXBE
「史密斯馬戲團，十大家族第七，慈善事業。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUBkDPf9qY
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNuCiXy1nJ
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCHYdb7L3A
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZYztwERHv
「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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOyBG0CTtc
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFhgm4O8js
「聽起來很偉大。」李晴煬附和。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm8UZS153u
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjxL7XPRb6
「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。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKESJdAp1D
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXs7AYeTgN
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcIxETDEq6
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB6VfjnlYe
「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。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODbLHv2sGS
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uiqDYevpv
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmoRrFCByB
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP43BDQXyDx
「他們漂浮在空中？」李晴煬踮腳尖，試著看清楚。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgl2zuMAHP
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YWbrt3EQc
「嗯，他們腳底的投影圖騰，那是漂浮裝置。」謝綠說。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrsCQ6cTXM
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkN9dBZxID
「背上那又是什麼？翅膀？」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRuO4KBVXD
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzFeCSXBZH
「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。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61FczdXOIe
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX5mw4kpvf
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI35is4bXWB
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65ZM76ZvGH
「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？」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAdLgwMYTw
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF5u9WUGbs
「妳怎麼只介紹八個？」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rhmbALqiE
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ3p0IIBZd
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfgPspPoW5
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIEukctpxs
「沒介紹的兩家，都沒有出席。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSYbu0zHoa
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1CRGkQNtk
不等李晴煬問，謝綠就告訴他：853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeBuOvzBAV
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDjH78UEPg
「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。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqH9YB3F9L
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfQIJB9f9N
「這樣也算十大家族？」李晴煬立刻問。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVNujqOqhu
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXjXLlnh36
「我也不知道，但神秘歸神秘，他們也沒做什麼。」謝綠聳肩。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtfrKO75QQ
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyRQwDjl9o
「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？」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5hKovyl6K
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmI1YpRgfb
「別說『這種場合』，高宇維連自己的活動都不出席。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7P2g57Ynh
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjSLqsb91O
謝綠說，似是對高宇維的缺席見怪不怪。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7eAHG6RfZ
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK3CyAsQM4
「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──」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnljzgKRsY
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjC5g6cOes
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。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPypJKeUKIo
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR5MAFcQPa
「……。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjSsg0b1FA
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19HQgYDaU3
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwtLy97Dta
一名白色頭髮的男子，正從遠遠的地方看著他們。853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrqTtlDc2V
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsrEaHviPd
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2Radwpk1T
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：853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePfTzsEX8q
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0N8556aD6
「可是今年，高宇維派他的親信來了。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSssi2dUrb
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyz8I9ii0Z
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？」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWJ6hQp2Mb
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mhvfyEUtI
「對，親信──你聽過神與畜吧？他是第一幹部、地位僅次於高宇維。」853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnevk1prTG
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2bcu5YPnu
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──853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqrg2aqVJz
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qsn3iB9dW
「里奧．懷特。」8964 copyright protection849ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9Ro2pj0YG 維尼
