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。673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oFzhctQY1
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMteG3UQBB
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。673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bo7jkfpmN
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO5zFcYBQi
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。673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjQPcf9KtV
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4qe15Dy6o
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。673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lYW0EhpXT
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmMKxVi2em
「奧斯卡哥哥。」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNqZIFFkQj
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSRQVsu1aj
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。673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAXa03eDr5
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdQC4aV1Rh
「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。673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp5WhyXryG
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJVnwViiQI
「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。」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOsUU2D0ds
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs1c5HtqgI
「艾琳？」奧斯卡眨了眨眼，「她怎麼了？」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBz1Odtwbm
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ1b1RNeMu
「……昨天晚上，又開始了。」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5tjFJnoXl
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5uoYzOpXq
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。673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE6ih4px2q
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31KWnEixuh
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。673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFELJjjx3c
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JnPzjRhj0
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge6WVZOS6N
「啊啊！啊啊啊啊啊啊！啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3OiNDGKWa
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVz1eJqk0T
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HVEkFO1y4
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。673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxapp8zbdG
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQs1eispFB
「艾琳！」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3s5fHERD9
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY576wwmDB
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。673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRpjH0BU4o
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi9tUSvzmK
「啊啊！啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ6djnWUKl
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tM4uDLCLP
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。673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLlXqyXylO
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KXK3Qi38p
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5e6pXGEl8
「尼…尼可……尼可……！」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttIOqoz2lO
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QpoIgvIT0
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4RisTKOAH
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。673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPag8bjCJY
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrCtIG4OTy
「尼可……在哪裡……！我的寶貝……尼可……！」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdGRQxBwob
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B2A4PSGlU
「唔……艾琳！艾琳！」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLePTSKQfGi
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzoOAeA577
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。673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPVVBdn2tc
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WEzAlv34R
「你是誰！？你是誰！？尼可在哪裡……在哪裡！！」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcJPFedLpQ
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuADDMz95ov
「艾琳……是我！我是哥哥！」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SETqQ42sB
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GIIDJcHA1
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。673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguqhdMgRHz
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVUFKhC5zF
「醒醒，艾琳！我是哥哥！」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WrqTgQmnR
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3f9UUGIJ3
「哥哥……不！不是！你才不是我哥哥……！」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuC3qHmwbA
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhcCbSMPpL
「混帳！妳給我看清楚！」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAKDNfSDop
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iaND3gndy
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。673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCjaEukt0I
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8vLKgXiTb
「艾琳．史密斯！」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw24N6M8jzG
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMRIykA7OJ
奧斯卡對她大吼：673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoJBfK9sMr
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkDiiKg0pe
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPGsiu1NLu
「她是艾琳，她是史密斯！我不管妳是誰，滾出我妹妹的身體！」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfE3dYEeml
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Cil31cB81
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmqGvxOhAF
「……！」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fSezx3Yfg
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3miueMN05Q
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。673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxc1nDYf88
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqVeC63eJo
「嗚嗚……啊啊……嗚啊……！」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz59EfG4m6P
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQrIjMvTrH
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。673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRSxxNKjcO
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfScJLSlfYr
「哥哥……天啊！哥哥！」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ6SLcUtyW
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZC4TDt1uT
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？」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUs7xXoRGr
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzw0F8ltR4
「沒事，沒事。」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphT1k9mWZE
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PlaQBO7VK
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！」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIQQkNvy3W
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwrWvokf0o
「少騙人了！」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCLSfiCDC0
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEMORj1NHW
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！」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwhGZkQtBI
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlKdCHiPAF
「我是馬戲團團長，逗人開心是我的工作。」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTONKT9TSNA
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu2XMxe7cL
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。673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqBSuCpHRV
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uaShAEYTL
「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。」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9Mq1jI9sa
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh4PcqIQlS
「我知道，對不起……！」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1dtEt8XBO
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVFdcqSNHy
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。673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYmCooxgMI
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMKP2yBv1K
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？」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInLEFcpb7m
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXSwUD2owu
奧斯卡沒有回話，反問特蕾莎：「今天有什麼新聞？」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVnIx288T6
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ibJLoEAvx
「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。」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SnLl3FqiX
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkULWlfT47
特蕾莎知道奧斯卡想問什麼，補了句：「是個油漆工人。」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8tSIXvP4H
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSJU22dhta
「……。」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSezWaRX29c
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx0f0SUHQV
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。」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpNJEizcrk
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrfAu0o399
「嗯。」特蕾莎點頭，「所以？」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEleu5V29G
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh041BvrwT
「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。」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfzAcRLTlq
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcS9YuaLBt
「OK。」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRmL2N9uKp
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyrxovjmMw
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。673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKKGU0ZnDo
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuYa1CLM4V
「如果真的是那個人，」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3gfI7QOSy
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCUDs2q5Qy
特蕾莎問：「奧斯卡哥哥，殺死艾琳姐姐的工作，能讓給我嗎？」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKzU0O7X4F
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5xjEajahR
「可以。」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eQIdvkden
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwonA8HSS5C
奧斯卡把頭轉到另一邊，「我下不了手，交給妳了。」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIVf9RZRCB
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDkwhtgaMb
「謝謝奧斯卡哥哥。」673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ075Azd2A18
673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv08CJto4T
特蕾莎微笑，「泰勒哥哥一定會很高興。」8964 copyright protection669ＰＥＮＡＮＡACHYzLN6SP 維尼
