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。687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFlxNuHM7o

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。687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKYoJGv4Rf
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq6Yt2Lgaw
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。687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ2OIGqHsR
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0GGIGu7wx
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。687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUul6A2Pcp
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwbMmkbriq
「奧斯卡哥哥。」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hD8iDDMba
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQFuHp66NJ
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。687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q8MC4gssD
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVM2W8ObGw
「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。687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYhDnph8rW
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaltaW9oTU
「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。」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7IS3pOuph
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xYQDkFo2q
「艾琳？」奧斯卡眨了眨眼，「她怎麼了？」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnLo1BWLPS
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPM2SX0oas
「……昨天晚上，又開始了。」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB45FM8Zv4
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuMztyFHds
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。687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HWM4Aymjb
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1pntA8h21
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。687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNwssDAaQB

「啊啊！啊啊啊啊啊啊！啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsT6W4JUgn
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGgaDn5oZG
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqjYyoAvlk
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。687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyuIYvJ09a
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7gKw1S2hO
「艾琳！」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWAGCFT8vs
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2zSmoJF6C
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。687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q8MsC9NR3
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksfPC84tmW
「啊啊！啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJfYWwUNMp
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaIFP5xyje
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。687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6f2RZ59tn
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAL0iybWte
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg4pdNGUAu

687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlIaBAOtCY
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeviYaozBym
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。687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHyWsP24SZ
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtIA9oscSI
「尼可……在哪裡……！我的寶貝……尼可……！」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYjEdSoqso
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLgOMlbJXy
「唔……艾琳！艾琳！」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MABxYBNIn
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jmsNFwgwC
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。687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEKCjiZOFp
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWurfaWNHBX
「你是誰！？你是誰！？尼可在哪裡……在哪裡！！」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9gAodDXuv
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRF4mzF9LD
「艾琳……是我！我是哥哥！」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uJTsSWi2m
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmdnbI8Q75
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。687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpv7MUAJZe
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjpSevMu2z
「醒醒，艾琳！我是哥哥！」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XgM36fPwD
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1xyJe7ZZZ
「哥哥……不！不是！你才不是我哥哥……！」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYno32gSdu
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z3zhm5VOI
「混帳！妳給我看清楚！」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE6Kq4owEB
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs5rmTIzxD
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。687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEVkL49TPv
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rdadfOdvC
「艾琳．史密斯！」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkNt8WSbOX
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fXBmpal6J
奧斯卡對她大吼：687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K7ZL1IYEi
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdflOgCvnJ
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4IsWqPg6H
「她是艾琳，她是史密斯！我不管妳是誰，滾出我妹妹的身體！」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVpi5OTg6N
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmIljG3oWH
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRlXpklIY1
「……！」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSVB1ANt1h
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m9ImHKxrr
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。687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTFh1ztrjA
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnpiZYziMp
「嗚嗚……啊啊……嗚啊……！」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgJfUKyoXf
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGqLqPuc28
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。687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrFIJIGxKC
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbzCzjVWLT
「哥哥……天啊！哥哥！」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGnv7hFjjy
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ27rWCADVV
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？」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuXQjTfwG1
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6U7YzEMVG
「沒事，沒事。」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jahStgvHc
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPqyggRGlH
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！」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30yo5Ws2bi
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIRH4tU8rE
「少騙人了！」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecv5R2uGMb
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq1XcqmVVt
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！」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgkGTOqS7o
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1mt4upJVU
「我是馬戲團團長，逗人開心是我的工作。」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr59n7nqKW
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4TGd2wsxr
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。687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWFtdPnoTY
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaIQ9ax1AN
「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。」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TatxpAJzJ
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6V4V1897D
「我知道，對不起……！」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBlbvi1POg
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnqZNGhvVK
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。687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHDBh2HYoD
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39J1QCD098
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？」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCvWP1SIR7
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBg9c4y6Xu
奧斯卡沒有回話，反問特蕾莎：「今天有什麼新聞？」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPknFQbLMm
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYgOd7wdn0
「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。」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKM09tnlsX
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv0PCrSHK9
特蕾莎知道奧斯卡想問什麼，補了句：「是個油漆工人。」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9FomR5jm7
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmU0TP7zoA
「……。」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgjZkefuQI
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1ieOhJ6S6
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。」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoWaLxkbMl
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs0hLJgcda
「嗯。」特蕾莎點頭，「所以？」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7f3CnFijk
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SWT7Gibp7
「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。」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qSZqYV6UR
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSC8WYdApD
「OK。」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jSAGoC8fQ
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡombyS2rVkJ
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。687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvY2a1ub5k
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEla9keiIA
「如果真的是那個人，」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQa4d9RjEd
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrYZtzo9eY
特蕾莎問：「奧斯卡哥哥，殺死艾琳姐姐的工作，能讓給我嗎？」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYzTVlWKys
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5coaTkATh
「可以。」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK0JkeZqPJ
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVX6WMCDcs
奧斯卡把頭轉到另一邊，「我下不了手，交給妳了。」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgWyIRo0Nx
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuFDpWOtNo
「謝謝奧斯卡哥哥。」687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHSiuncbx7
687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8ib2I0AWK
特蕾莎微笑，「泰勒哥哥一定會很高興。」8964 copyright protection683ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhyGzceV0e 維尼
