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。763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ728O7szdfh

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。763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SckNSxv7e
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87FLlQqT49
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。763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrtoP6t9Cy
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPGKTtPDDp
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。763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLSgFLZ6Cy
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsjFuoxCBh
「奧斯卡哥哥。」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFqAjz4dSf
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdUrYZosqo
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。763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICfk4PrufT
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJRMOjtdgV
「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。763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxi7p0rFpA
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkUEqbX1UA
「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。」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNH5P29flL
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjGGq12vWg
「艾琳？」奧斯卡眨了眨眼，「她怎麼了？」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfp7dETkU6
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgLJa8Y3Ky
「……昨天晚上，又開始了。」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVVeGqyksw
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2BSsnheu1
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。763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wEcNjPAN0
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5fB2ECUSt
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。763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolmpcTVjaj
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ0SXotACh
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPFooWzuxB
「啊啊！啊啊啊啊啊啊！啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgOrw0SqhE
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcHenfEa7z
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm5s9TTUqB
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。763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqNG2VxNYN
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIhzWhpU2E
「艾琳！」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzArO61nFeu
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ8kVHwxiE
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。763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxW1GeqX0y
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0d02N0wUX
「啊啊！啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYZOBIwFiA
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWKxkWjLDU
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。763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqe33XdxeS
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihrlMV6IBb
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2E1yifAh5
「尼…尼可……尼可……！」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR5ql9Jm5h
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7xo3QJrZb
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt653pxvrp9
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。763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzFM6YeOhS
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVgiGgHcKj
「尼可……在哪裡……！我的寶貝……尼可……！」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCrlxtdoS1
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaoRhF8aaj
「唔……艾琳！艾琳！」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhlwnKwo9E
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycCd6B3HUN
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。763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozvnlfajR0
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmJ7rR4n4Y
「你是誰！？你是誰！？尼可在哪裡……在哪裡！！」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVpKvL2AEk
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ3vmdtPFJ
「艾琳……是我！我是哥哥！」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWp0KU8Z1r
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOdPZlZqQV
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。763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZQswTLWKK
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLH63LDRU0
「醒醒，艾琳！我是哥哥！」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFASRtSjHh
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ8RwcQN53
「哥哥……不！不是！你才不是我哥哥……！」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1edCWLwwdr
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGn3HJxmRE
「混帳！妳給我看清楚！」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWbsGC47B8
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFwRxWua1y
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。763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCvRqMSVro
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSA2e1eAnv
「艾琳．史密斯！」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM7hyaARDd
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA0rILYqzG
奧斯卡對她大吼：763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVTGqJew95
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw87Gk3MU3B
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigGTRKBKU6
「她是艾琳，她是史密斯！我不管妳是誰，滾出我妹妹的身體！」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPxCndvzpO
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAGcsJhD7O
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVvFxeY7w0
「……！」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZuJter1Ei
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJklpplm8K
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。763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HlZqOU37Z
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhN9CWOGxy
「嗚嗚……啊啊……嗚啊……！」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xkb1SDH2Q
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbz2iiVprO
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。763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wz4MBEzvB
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DKQfYmmMb
「哥哥……天啊！哥哥！」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbeXvLATn4
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gGeX5Ug5R
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？」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODCvIV8A7R
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAj5ZwxaHu
「沒事，沒事。」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFQY0JIxaQ
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O9nxQuXoQ
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！」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhCLGsnzjl
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAtbPO2qKB
「少騙人了！」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVyLXUZdBu
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr2uYCXhBx
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！」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8sdttubQ5
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbizCUXvhoH
「我是馬戲團團長，逗人開心是我的工作。」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMWKD3m5Z0
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHGdOLNtBu
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。763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl9g2OZfyB
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ewztrwjyu
「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。」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kIq1joele
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhg6hTRWYH
「我知道，對不起……！」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWWa4Y28TW
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYgnm5vyCx
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。763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjUxI2mG5x
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY2TylP1I8
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？」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAqU3o3vUW
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9FQ1Zc8VO
奧斯卡沒有回話，反問特蕾莎：「今天有什麼新聞？」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7YRwPdHpb
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qNwnv7xDh
「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。」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAv7hDYrPT
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI44n2bFgc
特蕾莎知道奧斯卡想問什麼，補了句：「是個油漆工人。」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvlEnWol3Z
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfjZz3roJU
「……。」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34SAnWcQqG
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshme6Ssqss
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。」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl63ekYkTx
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhbRbAU11V
「嗯。」特蕾莎點頭，「所以？」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO2VHCuT9w
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kRigFhL2n
「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。」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcyEXSke2Y
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOiM72w28Z
「OK。」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNVfUCcj1g
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZmS7ltgCG
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。763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6bA74HxhK
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiLPoArWtL
「如果真的是那個人，」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JLqIdEEuy
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0jGyXTtr2
特蕾莎問：「奧斯卡哥哥，殺死艾琳姐姐的工作，能讓給我嗎？」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93iKik4GdK
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cVM4Q8Xud
「可以。」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkaVTc76qw
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNShthp1qii
奧斯卡把頭轉到另一邊，「我下不了手，交給妳了。」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY06GqgIHIO
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7RRgA06nq
「謝謝奧斯卡哥哥。」763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76FpMNN8ja
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CQ2PJxYMP
特蕾莎微笑，「泰勒哥哥一定會很高興。」8964 copyright protection759ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEXAaX5tGM 維尼
