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。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRikkZ5zcA
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNnAZCIIRy
「……。」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPMMeJwQkw
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoDaLHeE0D
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。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjLzdQ3urP
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMCV1gEx2u
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuUMCg2x1u
「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……」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmGgcqmtjL
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiZoqJTBOR
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIZQSUeDvf
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。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkR1YApjrK
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysgGI6EMV8
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。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPmoWZEvCD
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfefXOlu96
「你是第一次參加？」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRoUrqE4wE
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkpp4DfipO
李晴煬不知道怎麼開話題，謝綠率先開口，打破尷尬的氣氛。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YvrExDuwy
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGkVwuwpCp
喝著專為小孩調配的無酒精雞尾酒，李晴煬回應：「嗯。」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ElWYT3KUT
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNlIDQQQ05
「之前為什麼缺席？」謝綠單刀直入地問。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1ea8c7iNv
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcwkjZCbdi
「討厭人多的地方。」李晴煬簡單回答。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Prvx7nBbt
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx5GsESaoS
「今年又為什麼來？」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTQS6GgHpQ
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0S67URZyq
「見見世面。」李晴煬聳肩，「不能一直窩在家裡。」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2abw2QTpLG
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IueaIotfX
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？」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0bDHcWEdc
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iJe7HmkVI
「八歲開始，這是第三次。」謝綠沒有逃避他的問題，老實回答。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIDOPxV55s
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvp3JAfBsE
「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。」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtb3OaqLU9
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3v86T8Bka
「還能因為什麼？我是被拖來的。」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdRGMbvtHb
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPUW45NqLN
李晴煬聽見謝綠嘆氣的聲音。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3f6rzc5Vd
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fhdq0ifDv
「在場的人，妳都認識嗎？」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngwilq7nNh
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxMZJEhAVA
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。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUk3LHgNcN
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54VEP1sXnl
「大部分知道。」謝綠看向他，「你都不認識？」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFkRcjAfbx
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQGfnvAuiE
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。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcBpqPZsZS
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qYL78FPDw
「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？」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mfHACdsar
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9EgihSfyq
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？」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAYojjCbqa
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKyfF5uzjQ
「嗯。」謝綠秒答，補了句：「活像個娘炮。」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSMc4VOrsO
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc0tr3nTwS
「娘炮」兩字像一隻箭，狠狠從李晴煬胸前穿了過去。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwAgeVQEUP
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInjj4QQmhP
「妳的穿衣品味才奇怪！哪有人古裝下面搭短裙！」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRlBSOEeQi
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4yXE0i6FD
「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？」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDlQ0heiJZ
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFukA5bmTE
「妳……！」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zqlWjxrqk
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYzdAk2VfG
「啊，這兒就行了，要從哪一家開始介紹呢……？」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBR3Fcadzv
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZj7nkLQcD
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。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKJ5k0A3pC
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25rShMBiZV
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。」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjllFUILfgw
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRveds9ID5x
「你知道？」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVrENd8YzI
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH9PBZW6hv
「聽來的。」李晴煬說：「詳細不清楚。」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXQ611eyUI
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiyJYatEnM
「嗯，看來我高估你了。」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26hSwz61vn
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnPHsC3qJV
李晴煬的嘴角抽動幾下。謝綠不理他，專心介紹：770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YrDcDYAPX
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGD7zHpg5U
「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。」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tkIxlasPb
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIpSNXnEIG
謝綠雙手環胸，用一種非常帥氣的姿勢，靠在牆上。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86YLQ0CvfO
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGA8DPL3TY
「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。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn9lTcnp5Z
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcitQmXo4iI
「他們平常都這樣，穿醫師袍晃來晃去？」李晴煬問。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABk2wCtsJB
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0dvLcmLhK
「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。」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡillr2Z4QGd
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9LoXS3R5o
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。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4kiOWAlKq
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJY6g7XdMb
「雷蒙一家。」謝綠說：「十大家族第八，時尚業的壟斷者。」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1zn47qdRO
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTHKvZAEyB
「時…時尚？」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvr09nvvgf
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSSlLez3I6
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。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV8RlnggYx
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlFyQ3dRj1
「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。」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuP5cV9VYK
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55P1acE0wr
「穿這種衣服還能笑……要是本少爺，恨不得死了個算了。」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu9AWrPBY1
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeCbsGhGSf
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。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxplQBjDu8k
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAoOVhPlZS
「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。」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OINMPTEYu
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeFLPW98Ot
「……不把那身恐怖的衣服脫掉，本少爺無法體會。」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO8SRdKrzA
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUl9kCvz6e
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。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0KM5rB2g5
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPBp9LrmuP
「那又是誰？」李晴煬問謝綠。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQmfsxrD6O
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytI5Xqkpx3
「史密斯馬戲團，十大家族第七，慈善事業。」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdZB83cl5T
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEWTtTDxEK
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。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF6Mi8tmyi
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIe5F38in4
「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。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqMCYgONGq
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9popdSqqk
「聽起來很偉大。」李晴煬附和。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9UTYOqwzV
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqhstQRy2q
「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。」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIegqqBWxDO
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYLwLg5Zav
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。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLSEsafYcV
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg64TCeRL2
「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。」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rFlkZZm61
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1iiA489EX
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。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4tFyBXGpk
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pCQeaA7y5
「他們漂浮在空中？」李晴煬踮腳尖，試著看清楚。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT44xTTEjaN
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXLNb6eCVl
「嗯，他們腳底的投影圖騰，那是漂浮裝置。」謝綠說。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyunQYiWng
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHHQrA6aE1
「背上那又是什麼？翅膀？」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLThSmR3wD
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz28GP9kA2D
「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。」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEHXGM4Gy9
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMczXYoFPcQ
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。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xquYcVz0g
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUFnMITVMX
「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？」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rHTfkHMfR
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcBrq65CCh
「妳怎麼只介紹八個？」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4u27bBC5p
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2bKqOcMdX
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。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVifMG3nez
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJyFcwJEh9
「沒介紹的兩家，都沒有出席。」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplJKHDRneu
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvucIZrNFT
不等李晴煬問，謝綠就告訴他：770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet3XloYsZW
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCEApkv7sy
「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。」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xM8W8vwMB
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoa0mWeAb4
「這樣也算十大家族？」李晴煬立刻問。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5arIGQeqz
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExZbFiHe2B
「我也不知道，但神秘歸神秘，他們也沒做什麼。」謝綠聳肩。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xztM10Y3Q
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ571wkGCByC
「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？」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZnnCIOso9
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GhbUlonm0
「別說『這種場合』，高宇維連自己的活動都不出席。」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRymKPB2iez
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVmSCY9ua1
謝綠說，似是對高宇維的缺席見怪不怪。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31FxVPCzdD
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnRE4u4QDK
「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──」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8sBp8DGr0
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx7ONNdFXJ
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。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS45RgM2T7
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrqDH8zW7F
「……。」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKZHoLOXPl
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1SFqmra3A
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz88qqYUC9
一名白色頭髮的男子，正從遠遠的地方看著他們。770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw7SQb4rZF
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof8hL3BCvh
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJqjKzUYAQ
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：770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxQF3Dzf8r
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXaHs1ABiW
「可是今年，高宇維派他的親信來了。」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqdXjVKgdh
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gY42x5zw0
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？」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfHS8VgQtg
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3YGwa4riX
「對，親信──你聽過神與畜吧？他是第一幹部、地位僅次於高宇維。」770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImrOQFdUvn
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMeUCr8JDt
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──770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yYQlzuq8t
770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrQnanke0e
「里奧．懷特。」8964 copyright protection766ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXxITlcJmm 維尼
