這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCDrRG4fqf
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8bfzLYw6A
為了應付嚴苛戰事而組織的精銳部隊，在戰鬥中卻將近三成沒能安然回歸。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd9hWmErms
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMK3EZ6deO
戰勝的消息傳回能源局之後，負責探勘的隊伍開始確認生還的居民，以及貧民窟內部的建築狀況。由於交通工具總是受地形阻礙，推演的速度相當緩慢。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ecHCK4nZK
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJc0c5lSYL
清理出安全的道路後，在軍隊的護送下，拆除大隊與某些人道團體成功進入貧民窟，展開了八年來第一次除了邊境鎮壓以外的互動。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JItjMSY5T
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF32OFYMzRr
從最外圍開始，拆除團隊逐漸改造扭曲的街道、不穩固的樓房。為了保持警戒，可以看見軍人與工程師同時出現在工地內的景象。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR3wHbJdKU
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dXr6bZw1J
雖然這場戰爭在其他地區掀起軒然大波，由於不過是數年前，人們就曾經目睹科學發展帶來的慘劇，疑惑的群眾幾乎一面倒向責備能源局。即便如此，長期掌控著社會生態的能源局，在熟練迅速的壓制下，輿論並沒有造成什麼障礙。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdFVw9qi8I
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjJwWGSRpS
尤其是時值冬末，讓人無法提起活力的天氣煩惱著這座都市的所有人。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRBRWjvyyG
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLc0PBrdh6
季風雨持續降下，遲遲等不到晴朗的天空。依照觀測，恐怕會是二十年以來最漫長、也將會是最寒冷的冬雨季。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJApJ2F3xF
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz9iGZZPIm
分明是新年，令人不快的陰鬱氣息卻籠罩在這座高科技都市上。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZbpZtPReH
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO6gz0atBX
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFMC2f8ecd
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIBkY7XANi
距離高盧游擊部隊完全集結，朝中央發展區展開總攻擊，還有兩個小時。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLLb0APM13

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmRwOyB06e
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w0TmhAxtn
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXeaIgtxB2
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV8VsAuvJX
摩托車的頭燈照亮四周的殘骸，勉強地開拓了視線。依奴駕駛著傷痕累累的愛車，僅僅以不至於讓車身翻倒的緩慢速度前進。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXY6IEviC1
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0oUqrFu0Q
持續跑在街道中又過了數分鐘，眼前所見的場景幾乎沒有變化，赫恩沒辦法從這些廢墟中分辨出什麼差別，也不曉得他究竟要往哪裡走。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ883XlfDrpF
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu3OzvKsub
依奴從剛剛開始就不發一語，他弓著背並且把頭壓得很低，抓住龍頭的雙手明顯地過度使力，正微微發抖著。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiMoCzajUM
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7I1nx2oCu
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIOQVWGWzP
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUKcYG8tBQ
這場戰爭，從開始到現在的平息，究竟經過了多少時間？赫恩覺得自己的時間感已經被打亂了，所有經歷過的事件在腦中都攪和成一團。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFk5tibC2P
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ChTcGgm39
燃燒、傾倒、萎縮。各式各樣的畫面破碎成片段，全部溶解在摩托車彷彿無止境的低沉引擎聲中。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpakakeJ82
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFzftjwLY3
還要多久才能抵達目的地呢？或者會永遠這麼運轉下去呢？原來，逃亡是件這麼沉重苦悶的事情。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqHqkSKhxO
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJvw99Xe9e
正當赫恩已經陷入迷濛的睏意中時，景色的轉變重新牽動了她的注意力。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscnIpm5zFH
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsZBOFBMy8
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNFYIlGVwq
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzku3uSYRA
橫跨了整個混亂的建築區域後，四周的景色居然開朗了起來。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvTCG0dMZq
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZo3rSUmk8
彷彿在宣告著目的地已經到達，東方的天空此時漾起了光芒。厚重的雲層遮蔽了黎明，但純潔無瑕的晨光渲染開來，視野逐漸變得清晰。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3qpgYqkWD
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6m5sUyYPM
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSCrRg2B5D
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lzSAQweZr
摩托車所經的地方，似乎曾經是某個重要的區塊。舊時代都市的街區、歪斜的交通號誌，甚至是柏油路面上的號誌線，這些規劃完整的建設依然留有痕跡。十字路口上停擺著廢棄的車輛、輸電用的纜線也在樓房間穿梭。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGflRq5uv9
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5q3MtMaVm
成排的商店與公司坐落在主要幹道左右，依稀能想像這個市區以前的繁榮光景。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnivUqPJHV6
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3wBSn2Bmo
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwGJapeICr
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYQR4KJ870
這是赫恩首次見到舊世代的都市，包括現代已經不存在的電線桿、霓虹燈招牌、電話亭、郵筒等等，這裡有許多她無法理解的設施。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefRdumGmuX
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqsuKTy8RN
摩托車來到某個建築物前方，跑了一整夜的雙輪終於不再運轉。只不過，依奴並沒有準備任何停車下車的動作，他仍然僵硬地緊握著油門──420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWUskgkwoI
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeBA43gzmf
滑行了一小段距離後，失去控制的車體就這麼往側邊傾倒下去。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdX7ZDcejw
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IP5Wdn43c
「唔嗚！」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Cuy8ICGID
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtmw0T8K7p
抱著他的赫恩嚇了一大跳，她放開手臂跳開，狼狽地往旁邊跌坐，差一點被摩托車的笨重車體砸中。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ0bFwxKlG
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwwQTA0mHo
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDCibaMQFW
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnHhFkxDRm
「依奴！」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqX9xycm9m
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS1ZEaLjBs
赫恩慌張地向前去，把車鑰匙拔出來讓引擎熄火後，費了一番功夫才將笨重的車身移開，並且將依奴從下面拖了出來。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbNq9tNccT
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq5Nk3Raqx
即使如此，依奴仍然一動也不動。他趴伏在地上，甚至連半點呼吸或喘息聲都聽不見。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6WE0Igbty
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPrQis1q76
赫恩讓他靠坐在車體旁，輕輕摘下那頂貝雷帽，將他低垂的臉托起。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKbGF9SxUS
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NkWUBpVag
「依奴──」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82uiGqTzLL
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMWvjqRsED
脫口喊出對方的名字後，赫恩迅速地止住了話音，再也無法說下去。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQetjc4GKf
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSVBC8Qhkq
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF5gQW7vMW
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ359dvbQzdF
在黎明的微光下，她能夠清晰地從領口看見——黑色的血管紋路，從依奴的胸口向上方蔓延，雖然血管的走勢在頸部附近就停止了，但依然有幾條怵目驚心的紋路爬上了他的臉頰。擴張的青色血管扭曲了表面的皮膚，像植物的根部般盤踞著，除了病態與扭曲以外，無法讓人有更多的聯想。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XUOLQm3CW
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcZAzjNvcj
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbBbGObExf
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeTswIQhtK
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebYEhY8DTH
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamK0eIKX5P
原本那精緻且秀氣、甚至堪稱為美麗的面孔，竟然被侵蝕成這副模樣。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3UCeoAjDk
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAtQqR4U0n
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozbLd2mcmF
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Fn00mYVol
黑色血管是從左胸口開始蔓延的，越接近心臟，出現的血管就越粗大，宛如被寄生般相當恐怖。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO765EOXej
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt643cywqa5
她試探性地抓起依奴的手掌放在臉頰上，傳來的是令人不安的冰涼。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVHoiV8jEY
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx8FmSFDeZ
他還有微弱的呼吸，保住了虛弱的命，但不知道什麼時候才會從昏迷中醒過來。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmQU4biUTQ
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeir3Ae1RLX
雨還在下，不過勢頭已經減緩許多，紛亂的聲響也降低不少。徒留下濕潤與空虛的寒冷，仍舊在吐息間流竄著。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0smtMbe6dJ
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImBiMLiDWD
她重新站起，確認四周圍的請況。這塊保留完整的舊街區其實相當小，在逐漸明朗的光線下，都市的輪廓已經緩緩成形。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd7zlLqfDR
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AJQoJjmpn
八年前，建設在這裡的閻融爐暴走時，擴散的能量震盪所摧毀的建築物數量，大概佔整座桔梗區的三分之一，剩下的部分即使還勉強留存著模樣，但供電系統等等軟體設施已經全部報銷，對都市來說等於是機能癱瘓。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQan47ZJerG
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBXks8f245
重建工程展開時，為了降低新建材的需求，曾經大規模地拆除還留有主體的地區，把廢建築內完好的鋼材、玻璃等等資源回收，送往開闊地帶建造新的居住區。再加上難民們當時並不知道這些重建建築將會成為他們永久性的巢穴，所以對於重建工程並沒有細心規劃，導致發展區內零零落落地到處都看得到難民營，交通路線也是九彎十八拐。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9YYU3NxFn
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvpUbP5OzW
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwizBQNKK8R
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOFgOl9wOP
沒有被能量震波轟垮、沒有被回收作業拆除、亦沒有被胡亂的重建計畫改造，還保留著八年前那夜之後的殘敗模樣。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOQloEjwt6
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJsa8rHz8P
唯一的可能性，就是到來的軍隊曾經刻意避免了難民與這塊區域的接觸，將其作為重點區域封鎖住了。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYJPeY4EVV
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnM1ldQw2T
這片涵蓋四個十字路口，長寬不過數百公尺的範圍，從外表上看去毫無特出之處，至少憑著赫恩的經驗，這些沒看過的建築在當時應該也不是研究機構或者政治中心之類的，研究機構不長這個樣子。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsvhXa40lA
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqZ1wrgUB4
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsgu1u1Liv
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m81jQsse2
雖然那棟建築物是這附近最接近科學機構的，但明顯設在門口的橫幅矮牆上，刻著某某醫院的名字。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35BQNarUEx
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNQklux08z
急診室的入口、救護車的出入車道、以及一般病患出入的大門都具備，雖然被拉上的鐵捲門嚴謹封死，但應該就如同名字顯示的，是普通的醫院吧。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZJZylQDho
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1a7QpnL1l
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nfXGRu54I
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCE0a8liWY
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyf7i3LQtK
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnVXc7MhUW
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JWxueFfBq
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmj9IUD3ea
依奴皺起眉頭，試圖深吸一口氣，肺部的收縮似乎造成了痛楚。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO7AYXaXnh
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtebVBtb41
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhSEqKdAak
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e3GrTYCbq
赫恩連忙跑過去扶助依奴，幸好依奴很快就恢復狀況，硬撐著剛甦醒的意識，勉強讓自己重新站直。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgPWdC2lnj
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoJXCx72xL
他臉上的血管出現了細微的蠕動，隨著大口喘息的動作而顫抖，模樣相當嚇人。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSquXTlh4aJ
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxHciHwQIJ
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tI3jXxX2P
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeveXnLL2l
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc6Xv0UH2h
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCO0lBzVq0
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5rz9mdZb5
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh10FiAiCk
他用發抖的手拉開行囊，從藥罐中倒出止痛藥片，仰頸吞嚥下去。經過幾分鐘的調整呼吸後，氣色才漸漸好轉。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjReKZaAcj
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQZpFEAwDF
他將倒地的摩托車拉起立直，然後放鬆地用力吸了一口長氣。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw6rOmK7gc
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eIO1SnBuq
就像往常一樣，他拿出保溫杯倒了一份冒著蒸氣的溫水給赫恩。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAzaS6CCSe
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy601UpGN1U
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBMKw9Lpfn
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1ebokTzP6
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0Y7Q9rZrE
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KOLmQ6gVA
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciA6W3DD41
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01PQIL3zKE
「我早就習慣了。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3bc2Rap4X
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj2pRxdN6D
依奴垂下雙眸，即使依舊是名少年，他習慣性的表情卻總是透著難以言喻的沉鬱，雖然他未曾用言辭表達，但心中一定壓抑著什麼。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW4XzesI6M
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmsb2OeZyX
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbVyPP9oKm
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUySE1oSNb
只不過是一天前，同樣是在黎明時觀看這個男孩的側臉，樣貌卻已經完全不同。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjtO0U4Lqx
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNGjKSXoA3
雨季的厚雲剝奪了陽光的溫度，而少年漂亮的面容也已經被恐怖的傷痕摧毀。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiRuSJRKoW
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQy3U6pD2n
赫恩輕輕啜飲了一口溫開水，好在至少這份溫度依然留存著。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8mq8bbP8u
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLYHIGKX8v
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QlAXrg3Gj
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiCuy40JAE
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z1X2TUZAC
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs1vzZs3Gc
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iHyfy6jNB
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaHgqFAYtJ
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOrG6FeE9v
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFrem4rpYV
「這裡是？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGjJFV6keP
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZpSWxHdbG
「算是城市邊陲地帶的市區，從這裡繼續往西的話就能看到海岸了。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcHAxma56U
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmEyXquMLN
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoopsWxyiYQ
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdXxXoe9O0
「這裡是受到閻融爐爆炸的傷害較小的災區外圍，距離政府軍能利用的入口也相當遠。碎片瓦礫堆積而成的小山形成了絕佳屏障。如果不是像我一樣知道正確的走法，又沒有空中攝影機做引導，並且開著重型工程車鏟除路障的話，兩三天內幾乎不可能穿越複雜的貧民窟廢墟，抵達這個地方。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0Q5BffSOM
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66AXt1KvgC
依奴指了指身後的醫院：420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9Za9zsxR2
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BStnqZvil
「但不曉得貧民窟現在的狀況實際上如何了，我們能待的時間也不多。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbK2NQ367C
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sg6gn2tML
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppgwMW00cF
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz4xtZY9Yd
依奴原本沒做多想就要去接，但他在最後一刻頓住了，回想起昨天高架公路上的經驗，讓他很快的又把手抽回來。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse8O9ypXaI
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLNKQxERqD
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqznzD4Ozd1
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ek9cqhqvc
「不可以嗎？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGXn2DYgtQ
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGpaQQs5yl
「妳真的打算握？」看著赫恩毫無多慮的疑惑表情，依奴輕嘆了口氣。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSyam67GZj
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNHaOCU28t
「把杯蓋給我。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqP4u2MaeU
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOvTAdRaTD
「就讓我握一下吧。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLP27xcs3B
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVQi97e6Fj
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgM8JxVhiu
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL019iMxUG
「依奴。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbwKt4g1Ck
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8iWOkQQJd
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOi2qlNdEh
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosFId5eQQo
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuN3DoCn0Q
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2YU2sG2J2
她將依奴的手撫貼在臉頰上，感受著已經漸漸回歸肌膚之間、流淌著血液的熱量。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NhlfmOSIo
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwhPgko1WT
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjSNJqexE4
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyCqM5Xn70
「溫度回來了。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydVaWK99KP
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJWEaavN3Z
「好了嗎？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuixtrIiKY5
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxwHQ3AAao
「再稍微這樣一下子。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWSexygyrX
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdttgZxd5Hw
像是在彌補之前的擔憂般，赫恩仍然緊握著不放，兩人就這麼僵持了數秒，對依奴來說還真是相當尷尬的體驗。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I8Q2lolA1
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT2iFgRjWV
但是，看到赫恩穩定安適的表情，他更不想打斷這樣的片刻。由於自己的手掌比較冰冷些，赫恩臉頰的溫熱感也渲染到了手上，依奴若有所思地感受著這份溫度。他深感慶幸，此刻的他竟然還留有性命，能觸及她的臉頰。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmoz3lD47U
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvMkJo6pgF
或者說，他就是為了奪回這份真實感，才能夠苟延殘喘到此刻──420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNer9BBaTVC
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLQ3pYxR6v
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV2IJMGtDD
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMBEYYaMQq
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy425IFoDC6
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk8d2fsc9y
「喂。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtUSwxG3Zn
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlmy2z7wP8
「現在移除裝置可能導致不可預測的資料損毀，確定要移除嗎？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD9SyEG1AY
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDx1QFKKan
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7yUTyv9pi
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7INY7Gh38e
恢復平靜後，他把摩托車藏到建築的陰暗處，用垃圾桶和廢帆布稍微遮掩。接著用鋼索發射器朝醫院的二樓開了一槍，拉出堅韌的繩索。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjOTBUdvqG

抱起赫恩後，他踩上旁邊的汽車當作階梯，墊了一步，順著跳躍的勢子往上飛升。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSxAqnLaB4
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkB2KHW3Ne
依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaleU2epbd
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gnig1UKk7
玻璃碎塊零落地四散一地，在積滿灰塵地地面上刮出痕跡。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0in0CkzRW
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NOeR3UlCj
赫恩還是不太習慣這種三度空間式的移動方式，因為暈眩而意識搖晃了下。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPXzWcF0cN
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0mnnpoUkF
她扶著牆壁環視四周，內部除了尋常地醫療機構之外，並沒有什麼奇特處。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkez7lBDmDR

「依奴，為什麼要來這裡？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6ghpUUPsV
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRYsOWGgq8
「建築物下層有間資源倉庫。包括貧民窟可能短時間內就會被攻陷在內，旭夜機會把所有可能性都做足了保險。我常常負責將一些非常貴重的物資轉移到這裡來。目前首先要補充彈藥和汽油，再來決定下一步。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGisMzOm7lR

「跟上來。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Mu5vJD3yi
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbXPU9Aqp8
依奴並沒有正面回答赫恩，他收起鋼索發射器掛在腰上，往走廊的另一頭踏出步伐。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGwFkCeYJX
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBZ3YUQmzv
醫院裡瀰漫著某種難以言喻的臭味，大多是水氣的濕臭，但隱隱約約似乎也包含著藥品的刺鼻味道。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLpwSU60ei
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSOGe0WwCE
「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PQgBwClAC
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkDP7Bae9U
依奴用平淡的口氣說：420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkxR5rYtC6
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hzNmDmo6h
「而且，也根本無從整理起呢。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB6Guoa03x
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkEbf3EmYp
赫恩乖巧地緊跟著他的腳步，迅速通過了長廊，沿著已經停擺的手扶梯往樓下走。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvcuPx96EY
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcjIsZcsww
醫院裡的狀況相當慘烈，牆面上的污漬、傾倒的醫療器材等等，看起來非常不祥。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bMTWbDEBq
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ554oSqhtp
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqEgBdMolz
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPehG0cNpyM
閻融爐暴走造成的都市機能癱瘓，把這座城市幾乎所有的電子設備都燒毀了。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD85K7yCNo
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgct3XjP5o9
那些藉由先進醫療器材延續生命的病人們，在斷電的當下是怎麼想的？而那些剩下的人們沿著靜止的電扶梯徒步逃亡，砸毀不聽使喚的自動大門，互相推擠著、叫嚷著奪門而出。，走在一片漆黑的街道上，是如何的絕望。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrjfCCnxP1
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQjw3AfgBW
赫恩想像著，體會著當時人們的惶恐、絕望。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJSr4M0Gfp
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOMRWGWHLf
兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSeV8I2HgR
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUCrxw6nRb
赫恩被眼前的景象震懾住了，她僵立在手扶梯旁，許久無法發出任何聲音。眼前的大廳，由於門口被鐵捲門阻擋，缺乏光線而顯得幽暗。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUba7FXNbxV
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2cPo4K1lm
但在不清晰的亮度之下依然能辨識出，那是極端非人道的慘狀。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW2fWgplEP
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBNqkbf3tl
在大廳的盡頭有個巨大的缺口，明顯是用炸藥摧毀出的破洞。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuWpBf97yO
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPIxR5CnGB
從缺口處到醫院的出口，這一段短短的空間，卻是最為悽慘的「激戰區」。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmM3dH0Ex9
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6VC4rMwbQ
崩落的牆面、散落的磁磚、暴露的鋼筋。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiYIoQWw6v
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nLOZ1u9is
被機關槍掃過一遍又一遍，坑洞遍布的地面。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhAqq22ssW

徒留下形狀，散落於各處，無人為其收拾的、人的死骸。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmODnIsNEJt
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01Qm4R98Jk
一定是在這座城鎮化為廢墟之後就置之不理了吧？經過了這麼長久的時間，大多數的死屍都會被野生動物拖走、被昆蟲分解掉，然而依然有些痕跡遺留了下來。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5j31HIWJp
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwD08AhRnL
四周能找到不少燃料瓶的空罐——居然在如此狹窄的室內空間裡選擇用上火焰發射器，光是這樣的行為本身就充滿了殺意。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu5UI0Cy2a
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuP4UdOQNy
面對能夠將整個大廳的氧氣都燒乾的熱焰攻勢，別說是留下全屍了，那樣就連靈魂都無法得到安寧的死亡吧。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72hXnUPCQQ
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxyLzf9tkQ
但為什麼要在這樣的地方作戰？甚至還用這麼重的手段？420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4i2APZvHj

依奴說著，站到大廳的正中央。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cJqVcL2Em
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3JD0HwUjm
他彷彿在回味著陳舊血腥的洗禮一般，寧靜地佇立在屍堆之中，不過即使背對著赫恩，她也能感受到依奴此刻的情緒是如何的沉重。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGSp9ggDSH

「最後的最後，我們也只殘留下了這點痕跡嗎。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3XYgv4Wz4

「庫奇總是走在最前面，最後也死在最靠近門口的位置。還有捨身替象牙擋下了子彈而死去的瑟拉芬。我們之中年紀最大的奧德，他的軍犬席丹。還有潔莉和狼犬水銀。盧瑟是躲在櫃台後面時被打死的，在我身邊倒下的骸還有格里、坎特……」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsgQm2Zhtt

「沒錯，」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiAO1QI0ud
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8In0TO3XkG
依奴緩緩回過身來，低沉著嗓音，就像回答再自然不過的問題般，輕撫著自己面頰上攀附的扭曲紋路，向赫恩開口：420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsX8LpvYUS

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpqxCEiwOL
外面傳來了腳步聲。踏在堅硬地板上的敲擊聲實在太刺耳了，她已經快被這種聲音弄到抓狂了。還有耳語！隔著牆壁傳來的，隱隱約約的對談聲，途中甚至還能聽到自己的名字混雜在內，這樣的折磨也足夠讓心靈枯槁了。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJLAvYWmqm
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtws2rPkwB

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NvKDWzNdk
外面的光線瞬即朝她伸出指爪，譚雅就像被一把白色的利刃穿刺般疼痛地瞇起雙眼，她急遽地朝後方退開，背部重重撞在牆壁上。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpRJr7lra3

馴狗人的超兵計畫，傾向於加強軍人與軍犬的同步性。因為光靠攝影機的偵查效能不佳，而且儲電量會影響作戰時間。如果馴狗人和軍犬本身能夠以無償的方式交換情報，就能大大提升作戰的靈活度，於是依奴這樣的生物就誕生了。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWxamjFixv

無論是人或軍犬，任何一方面臨死亡時所經歷的痛楚，都會由另一方承受。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk73RyZAKqw
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrBKpx8nSK
能夠使生命逝去的方法千奇百怪，無論刀傷、槍傷、斬首或心臟遭到穿刺，無一例外地，還活著的那一方都會以活著的狀態，體驗死亡的感覺。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfIkZf4aHQ
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aQOgGdq9q
「在多數狀況下，死亡體驗時常刺激過度，讓另一端活著的大腦也麻痺，造成雙方死亡。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6XM8ktRZd

「已經過了好幾年，我的成長加上象牙也會衰老，拜此所赐感應能力已經沒有當年那麼精準了吧。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9feyqlXie
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2amFU0Qog
說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy3kFoogAf
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGAotIjCR9
依奴就像是要將餘悸迷濛的不快感清除一般，深深地吸了一口氣。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4C6m6HTdK
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvsOU06yun
「胸口被子彈貫穿的經驗，我倒是紮紮實實地體驗了一次。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIViZ8N6Sn
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqERoeurzlB
由於劇烈的痛楚，依奴瀕死的痙攣讓肉體變成了如今醜陋的模樣。那個當下就連肺臟也差一點失去功能，讓依奴幾乎無法呼吸到足夠量的氧氣。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7Qev61I6r

下一次面臨死亡的感覺時，就再也睜不開眼睛了。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnEih6baAe
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWlAYSq94j
值得慶幸嗎？應該感到安慰嗎？至少已經脫離了怪物的行列吧。依奴不善長對一件事情的轉折表現出情感，他習慣默默地接受發生在自己身邊的變化。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6HTUIAqsj
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LfllgeFYb
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ySPgREWpL
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83BzyQQaGX
象牙對自己來說是什麼樣的存在呢？是寵物抑或是夥伴？甚至能夠說是自己身體的一部份吧？但另個層面來看，象牙的存在也不過是依奴過去悲慘經驗的陰影罷了。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGBoX3pqZd
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt1dXIxUyu
他們是那段黑歷史的最後根據。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7Bbrsqugb

此刻連同馴狗人的研究場一同埋葬了。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25J7B9h7Kb

赫恩若有所思地凝視著無人的街道。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWqrnbPQ5A
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbMY2NarcM
「或許有那麼一點吧，在妳身上找到『自己的投影』。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhZVFBsqN9
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnNNEe4kvA
依奴低垂著頭，淡淡地說：420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGNTOVQR3G
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHaa6IvVfi
「所以，想要將妳從這個都市中拉出來的心情，我能篤定自己是認真的。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5JlHVrnAj

「依奴當時是怎麼逃出來的呢？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlmFVaFljH
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaPqYHzBG5
「我很感謝『黑色聖夜』。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL4ObNCHoH
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAUL7wOGxX
赫恩對於依奴的發言，露出了疑惑的表情。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKXj4H6Dpd
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDorGOqC2PJ
「黑色聖夜發生後，訓練機構中的警備系統癱瘓，我們率領著自己的狼犬，突破研究室的大門，殺死逃竄的科學家，從警衛手中奪走槍枝。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuvGbwpG2c

我們是以軍人為前提訓練的孩子，所以要突破一所醫院是輕而易舉。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDusbILXxKK
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWSjvHr3Rh
不，正確來說，尚年幼的我們無法拿捏分寸。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMQOxtjyN1
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZjb0Fdrqq
我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6m4XiMwE3
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdhYh3T23l
因此，我們解放了自己的憎恨。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKN81AbVgm
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu0KkRuGtz
不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo1p2xd3DT
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08sgYwgd5E
無數無辜的人死了。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkFnwWhI58
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXOIfbm2Hu
要說我們「如同野獸一般」這樣的形容法是不精確的。因為受盡折磨的孩子與遭到囚困的狼犬們，兩者之間的恨意重疊、融合，最後那是跟獸性沒有兩樣的情緒。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2SAAVN5KP
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTbQ6swQBB
從牢籠支中掙脫，親手得到了染滿鮮血的「自由」後，我們放手做盡自己擅長之事。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2YavL9e6L

過不了多久，來自中央發展區的鎮壓軍隊封鎖了醫院，展開肅清。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII0iAoXOnG

「才會留下這樣的痕跡……」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWlHUiRpEF
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh9g5DsPec
「嗯，除了我以外，醫院裡沒有任何人生還。長達兩個小時的僵持戰鬥，也讓對方犧牲了將近六十名軍人。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebFO0LBDSu
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOiXsDeD1I
「不過依奴最後成功離開了這座城市對吧？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JYH7xk9Ln

「我在邊境遊蕩了整整一個月，最後遇到了倫斯。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eqcl4SSNk
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXVizwnB0G
倫斯把我帶到高盧生活，為了讓即使是怪物的我也能生存下去，他帶著我到處去尋找戰爭，從中賺錢。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghFKqmVr6W

「嗯，當時我覺得並沒有什麼不好。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPV5zbEaYt

應當說，他相當感謝倫斯給了他一條新的道路。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBktoyenY1

當生存的選擇從零變成一時，無論什麼人都會欣喜若狂吧。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBVT0W6fjC
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQcpVkLZwc
最後整個傭兵團被游擊隊吸收，然後輾轉認識了旭夜，才真正了解了自己以前生活的都市。能源局為了塑造這座先進的閻動都市，究竟犧牲了多少外人？時至今日就算再探究也毫無意義，只要明白……閻融爐所帶來的災厄比利益更多就足夠了。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvmAbJKSTs
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUrRljJZDw
「但是，」赫恩的話音走到嘴邊，她踟躕地沉默了數秒。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCyQQCqAEp
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4MyYB7lkg
依奴的表情沒有變化，不過這副事不關己的姿態，在她眼中早已經藏不住什麼。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2anLMo9twp

「你為什麼回到曾經逃離的地方呢？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy7qQ2C4P1

由於她的存在，我們這些生存於黑暗之中的人們所期待的「崩塌」才能擴展。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQJzofC2z5

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn4WgH7KkS
拯救、回報、恩惠、生存價值之類的飄渺字眼，太過銳利了。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb9IoICG1Q
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66dLcCH52A
如果把那些語言套在自己身上，那麼黑色聖夜所帶來的死亡，那些直到今日依然徘徊於她的腦海中的働哭與低喃，他們的存在意義又如何？420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63ClRmdvHg

那些聲音，那些死亡。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj0RMEdP6j

她能夠擺脫那些混濁的過往，自私地追求自己的解放嗎？420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGif9KGZIB2

屬於「黑色聖夜」的真實只能有一個。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUL2uTpN7H

「依奴，我是造成大家死亡的『災難』……」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fH7Nr5zzQ

赫恩搖晃著腦袋，濕潤的銀白色髮絲因此狼狽地搖晃。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnxBHwpe5l
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dhYKIYna8
她不自覺地用雙手掌掐緊自己的脖子，試圖讓與上地雜亂思緒窒息。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZNFFRjOpQ
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6JJ0pk3f6
現在衝擊著胸口的這種感覺，是感情嗎？420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwutPJa1IWe

她驚愕地抬起頭。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92dBYWG4UU

下一秒，依奴伸出手臂，將她瘦弱的身體摟進懷裡，赫恩的臉側緊貼著少年的胸膛。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP30pDiNsIf
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqTsCX3sUv
「聽見了嗎，這個心跳聲？聽到血液撞擊心室的聲響了吧？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J3K1Sgt4M
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0WBnn5XR2
依奴低著頭，在赫恩耳際輕與呢喃：420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJm1HdKddv
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFt8B3G02q
「把視線放在我身上！妳存在的此刻，我和妳一樣存在著。如果妳必須為那些早已無法吐息的死者背負罪咎，那麼現在抱著妳的我該怎麼辦？」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYim7DkGeb
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE3cPjiFKJ

依奴將赫恩抱得更緊，令她無法喘息。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoN8zsBcIj
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7VZzHw64g
「妳沒有做錯！自始自終存在的，就僅僅是妳自己而已！別自作多情了！死者就是死者，過去就是過去，妳才沒有背負性命獲罪業的權力！將我從地獄之中拯救之後，接下來赫恩必須拯救的，僅能拯救就是妳自己！不是為了誰，是為了赫恩妳！」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZpxIO2Wn6
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsCz04hAai
赫恩因為驚愕而睜大的雙眼，隨著少年的話音逐漸恢復了神色。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2hswOWAik
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOi333ymTe
虛脫感在她嬌小的身軀上擴散，就像剛剛從恐怖的惡夢裡掙脫，赫恩輕輕加深了呼吸，不再恐慌地顫抖。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ94CLqPzm
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtHjT1Xajv
倚靠著依奴的身體，她安逸地閉起雙眸。接著，像是要讓對方知道自己已經沒事了，她發出了微弱地聲音：420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mbbsT99Ds
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHo7KlRZRs
「依奴的胸膛……很溫暖。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPjHwMadWf

所以，已經沒有問題了。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6tQ9nZ7ZR
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3YTOYLBqF
微風的低吟填充了對話的沉默，穿梭於曾被砲火責罰過後的都市。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bFb891de1
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKVNA6KSfP
彷彿在確認彼此的容身之處，依奴與赫恩感受著對方的存在，試著用這一點點微薄的證明，讓彼此不致於迷惘在這片廢墟當中。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt92QXpGwGM
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDDjvlZHDd
不知過了多久，響起的細碎電子音才打斷了他們的沉默。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNhsAhTpXg
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60Al1CSEIh
掛在依奴腰際的通訊儀器發出了電碼的頻率。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK3f6vkolU
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1klaLdmP8M
依奴沒有任何動作，只是緊抱著赫恩，將那段訊息聽完。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5Q7OmZwQq
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaEV9DRLam
同樣的頻率重複了兩次，在這之後，通訊儀器再次回歸死寂。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepm14J4t1Z

面對懷中少女的提問，他一時間無法用任何言語應答。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y850K9b0q
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0GtM58ZCp
他將自己的臉埋在赫恩肩上，僅限此刻，貪婪地試圖保留那股氣息。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8MAZaCGh5
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdEaNV82sv
「和我一起逃走吧。」他低喃著：420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gEBo97hmt
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNkHlCmqLa
「摩托車的油已經加滿了，我們繼續向西前進，一天後就能夠出海，從水路離開的話還能逃到其他國家。我們現在就從這片地獄離開，然後再也不要回來。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdix0Lssxq

「地獄——」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcADhRpycs
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4QPTbfLKP
此刻浮現在赫恩腦海中的，並非毫無生息的研究所、虛假繁華的街道、撩亂交錯的燈光，也沒有潰散崩塌的高樓、解體沉降的橋樑或哀哭掙扎的人們。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPzrxQmECg

閃過的畫面，只有譚雅那泫然欲泣的表情。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs44962O5My

陌生的穿刺感痛擊了她的胸膛。420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKKP1YtYrP

「依奴，請帶我回去吧。」420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeMCxmh22C
