父親死後，史密斯列車好久沒這麼安靜了。奧斯卡跪在一具黑色的棺材前，雙手十指交叉，低頭禱告，希望他的兄弟能安息。654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsCszMTXzy
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6umEzM8h7T
五天前，泰勒的屍體被人發現。他跪坐著、手裡握著貫穿他身體的刀，看起來像自殺。史密斯所有人悲痛欲絕，奧斯卡也暫停計畫，優先處理泰勒的後事。654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5j89DjAmb
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdpKIJMmZC
雖然行駛在大西洋下的海底隧道、無法為泰勒下葬，但史密斯列車有幾具特殊棺材，能防止大體腐壞；還有設計成教堂的車廂，能為死者禱告。因此，奧斯卡不擔心泰勒的後事，而是泰勒的死因，他覺得很不對勁。654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSchSt4lEV
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6z8Ltxn4x
那天中午，泰勒跟他討論計畫，看起來毫無異狀。奧斯卡相信泰勒是被殺死的，但兇手是誰？他們行駛在海底隧道，與世隔絕，犯人只可能是其他史密斯。想到這，奧斯卡便睜開眼睛、停止禱告，思索哪位弟妹的可能性最大。654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbd4qW25L2
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJhIoQp6yb
「奧斯卡哥哥。」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eadVO22ke
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOlcJc5iQX
奧斯卡身後突然傳來女孩的聲音。他回頭，老四特蕾莎．史密斯（Teresa Smith）坐在輪椅上，來到奧斯卡身後。她是個陰沉的女孩，金色的長髮蓋住她的臉，只露出一顆灰色的眼睛，及臉頰上的雀斑。654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LZesuYNmt
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK7b9p45nV
「怎麼啦，特蕾莎？」奧斯卡打起精神，露出符合他紅色頭髮的開朗微笑，以免弟妹擔心。654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tNT1sODg4
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2tksOOsaL
「給泰勒哥哥的禱告，換我來吧。」特蕾莎有氣無力地說：「你去看一下艾琳姊姊，比較好。」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQGAyijSYE
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDDSC7NCcE
「艾琳？」奧斯卡眨了眨眼，「她怎麼了？」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVpYSmIgdF
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDpal0Eh7w
「……昨天晚上，又開始了。」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtzn4jMp8r
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOUFnf3Vc2
看到特蕾莎的表情，奧斯卡就知道發生什麼，於是聽妹妹的話，朝艾琳的房間走去。654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxJKvccuKn
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPhygBbtr8
艾琳排行老三，是奧斯卡最自豪的妹妹。她精明、能幹，什麼表演都難不倒，也是史密斯馬戲團最有觀眾緣的表演者，但兄弟姐妹都知道，艾琳得了一種怪病。654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zHP4r4tYI
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ugOzSEdXS
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK0T4zwPIQ
「啊啊！啊啊啊啊啊啊！啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCCwD4IdsZ
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2mDKylFtl
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZpyfRPZeS
穿過一節節車廂，還沒走到艾琳的房間，奧斯卡就聽見她的尖叫。房裡的艾琳不知道用什麼東西撞擊牆壁，震耳欲聾的「磅！」、「磅！」聲讓奧斯卡非常著急，也非常害怕，開門前一度陷入猶豫。654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtQchEBYEu
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDp9M2sOuW
「艾琳！」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolAVRs8vYj
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y5lWCyOM8
但手足之情，奧斯卡還是開門。艾琳原本黑色牆壁的房間，被潑滿了紅色、黃色、橘色的油漆。艾琳人站在十幾個油漆桶之間，各種顏色的油漆混雜在身上，猶如一隻被石油汙染的海鷗。654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxBsFF6HNx
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJfp9D2Nfv
「啊啊！啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhENrSy0UA
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgazmIdTZN6
艾琳的長髮全部黏在臉上。她用指甲抓自己的臉，喉嚨擠出破碎的尖叫。奧斯卡衝上前，來不及關心，艾琳就把他壓倒在地，兩手掐住奧斯卡的脖子。654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5T4TR9MIn
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErCxI0XTyi
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16pciv9cxz
「尼…尼可……尼可……！」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiLaUdVHru
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8v6xxxVKH
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAIjW9hseR
艾琳瞋大的藍色眼睛瞪著奧斯卡，嘴巴開始碎念聽不懂的話。654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdmr8Ww1cZ
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO3DMoehxH
「尼可……在哪裡……！我的寶貝……尼可……！」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL4iCf5eQi
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczL7wXmijp
「唔……艾琳！艾琳！」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrk6ORbpsp
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsyALDOB8B
奧斯卡的頭髮和衣服也被染上油漆。他抓著艾琳的手，脖子被掐得十分難受。654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYTM0Db7Wa
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrKD0yhXqu
「你是誰！？你是誰！？尼可在哪裡……在哪裡！！」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgLvydNdcx
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa9MRqipn3
「艾琳……是我！我是哥哥！」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA79gSOfB0
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wONbNfhqn
奧斯卡不得不採取蠻橫的手段。他一拳打到艾琳臉上，多虧如此，艾琳掐他脖子的手終於放開，摔到一攤黃色的油漆裡。654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPpu0jOwMk
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp6CTCmT56
「醒醒，艾琳！我是哥哥！」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fFdRlCcKS
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt9B286JqK
「哥哥……不！不是！你才不是我哥哥……！」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrxGuEoYCl
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRW0fVHI9i
「混帳！妳給我看清楚！」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe3xkunexr
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISqOk7hMbM
奧斯卡一手抓住艾琳的肩膀，另一手從後面揪住艾琳的頭髮，強迫妹妹與自己直視。654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITYVmxVk5e
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxLbeV2jGQ
「艾琳．史密斯！」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJcp2XPOho
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ555pAtamZc
奧斯卡對她大吼：654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsjtxNfBXz
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rXBHAHRLB
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoXCl0K449
「她是艾琳，她是史密斯！我不管妳是誰，滾出我妹妹的身體！」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGqMOkWclo
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWbus9Gf4u
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlvDNRRdq5
「……！」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1MPlD7Y60
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZMIi6PHjt
奧斯卡的話起了功效。下一秒，艾琳摀著臉，一會在地上打滾，一會弓起身子。她尖叫、咆哮，嗓子都已經叫啞，開始乾嘔。654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLElxLQtvZc
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKjjFrUMbf
「嗚嗚……啊啊……嗚啊……！」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnd9cdNzzN
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYijm1LtXLt
眼淚從艾琳的眼裡流出來。她看向奧斯卡，雙目終於聚焦，臉也回復人類應有的血色。654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAWLBLHEMx
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aPRpvkcbU
「哥哥……天啊！哥哥！」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyHC7tKTRT
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiRyHdW4l3
艾琳回來了。看到奧斯卡脖子上的掐痕，她哭著問：「我對你做了什麼？你的脖子……我剛剛打算殺死你嗎？」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL39simwCB
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrl7HWsYis
「沒事，沒事。」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGVIta6xeS
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ngaj38lO1
奧斯卡總算放下心來。他指著脖子，開玩笑地說：「這是我自己畫的，很逼真吧，哈哈！」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hfIlwImGW
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyHG4t70Mv
「少騙人了！」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw9NoGo4XJ
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQgBTz3a66
艾琳抱住奧斯卡，哭著罵：「哥哥，你有什麼毛病，還有心情開玩笑！」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt24dy2jsVa
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5f69HXu2w
「我是馬戲團團長，逗人開心是我的工作。」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNrcuoQ9GF
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVLDUtuizy
奧斯卡抱著艾琳，一手輕拍她的背，同時，雖然艾琳的頭髮被油漆染得亂七八糟，奧斯卡還是發現，妹妹的髮色越來越淡，逐漸從漂亮的深褐色，變成銀白色。654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wIPf8x5DD
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag6vJpr1WZ
「妳沒事就好。」奧斯卡親親艾琳的臉頰，「泰勒走了，我不能再失去妳。」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04Se27qAl8
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaTJuNZROX
「我知道，對不起……！」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11aijVkXiF
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWkOTskI7G
艾琳在奧斯卡身上哭了五分鐘。哭完後，她打起精神，朝奧斯卡露出放心的笑容。她請哥哥先離開，因為她需要時間清洗自己，也得處理一團亂的房間。654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8lDBGT95a
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvvtNVo4Q9
確認人沒事，奧斯卡離開艾琳的房間，排行第四的特蕾莎在走廊等他。少女坐在輪椅上，表情僵硬地盯著奧斯卡，「怎麼樣？」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0fgGPOjCH
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdbWnp8mjU
奧斯卡沒有回話，反問特蕾莎：「今天有什麼新聞？」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprlFtxpRuw
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMWOYkSzvK
「B區有個工人，受不了老闆壓榨和超時工作，昨晚上吊自殺了。」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNPc2tz6UN
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXMxzK7LYW
特蕾莎知道奧斯卡想問什麼，補了句：「是個油漆工人。」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3x5knMK8C
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERwbZT6dgN
「……。」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wgpgwm8uy
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKokh1h5Ae
奧斯卡的表情非常凝重。他深吸一口氣，告訴特蕾莎：「再這樣下去，艾琳會消失。」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oUMWCdz7j
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkaXYdbr4Z
「嗯。」特蕾莎點頭，「所以？」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QHcsTQh1F
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtKkqmphi7
「妳幫我調查『尼可』。」奧斯卡說：「我要確認，艾琳身體裡的，是不是那個人。」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWIHDdcHfM
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RoLviGjAw
「OK。」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9czqdN7Vq
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSFgYUGTrI
特蕾莎面前有個觸控面板，她平時都用這個操控輪椅。就在她準備離開時，特蕾莎突然想到什麼，將輪椅轉向奧斯卡。654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayYP5m2Oj9
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvvrEpSUAi
「如果真的是那個人，」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRsM404SCZ
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ759AV2Uju
特蕾莎問：「奧斯卡哥哥，殺死艾琳姐姐的工作，能讓給我嗎？」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPPWDcnk7a
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z5xGBzsrL
「可以。」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVw2apo70J
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTyk7xTlYz
奧斯卡把頭轉到另一邊，「我下不了手，交給妳了。」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEFHMsfbJO
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIGNGX2lb2
「謝謝奧斯卡哥哥。」654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xrKwxJ01V
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NuoTBIbg4
特蕾莎微笑，「泰勒哥哥一定會很高興。」8964 copyright protection650ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg2KUPF1fn 維尼
