這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3x7bwguB4
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIT1n6eHIV
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgkJSQR0gN
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj80OclqSxy
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXg0jkM45D
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2He7hEUMi
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kVnpWjp2v
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cnYlDfdhH
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m6Jy8WKBl
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDbkY7DEHq
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCEjd2Jn7j
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2vDLjTYK2
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1KU1RG2UB
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVH5W7oJpF
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2JKJchOXq
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPH2yVXU55
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtYyjkbokl
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqAc4qiDnG
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSxQzWyIRg
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdog5Avvi0U
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6TFAa1Xub

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjX5e0YoNG
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OAIVi0XkQ
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbihg5H1jT4
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSBo15P4Ca
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVtsp9Saas
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvpBvIoIwA
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaQpeNXNPP
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YX2r2OR1T
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQMAh2TF7Q
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQuOlsmQA2
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJdHkt8DTz
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo1mGPSYh0
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLTj37PJE9
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPVWLGQE0Y
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCaFdMX0Rw
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW2ofgyI6M
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcNaKLJTpJ
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4FtqiYqCq
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4qG6YDtAt
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLKeebXi0a
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9Nz0pdkv5
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl9TZerN3R
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xeRWbVi6F
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFRRbiQSNH
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3srdvXATuo
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBdRUlXNkY
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOC6bnUMa0
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeETbGixlJ
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJrQk3rGY6
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgivUjGPJ7q
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcXhYbONZN
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS4mW5XUkl
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o6JrqYOlz
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNjYr6YeGQ
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL422hc1LIX
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMn13b52CJ
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──486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHcMWbs2gE
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxbmjLEgxi
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBCtPOSGwI
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdDWi7h0aC
「唔嗚！」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgzgOfA0t6
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3qseov2gH
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvxACX3rlO
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0d9T4luya
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTdVsZsVwR
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSMQUvjqzB
「依奴！」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NiTrRlUKS
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L0WrNlg8w
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts7d5xO1DL
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0TQ1QRScr
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO3Yx4Cahn
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NpNA0rQ9q
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf95M32pTQ
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4RXzP6a36
「依奴──」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqebtx2VaO
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIzfkDUvQm
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3J4QS4Juc
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPIfBize3m
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf6zyaTVav
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3GSLeazzZ
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN18zJsuD9b
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaGOQUnhNN
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeC1wgPLDb
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bSxoj9pQz
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznc460pbY3
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbtU4NwjVu
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25L4SvUH6a
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS9iABZ1xn
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgh9S9roKZ
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqgYvbmEWR
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuhV8ByBRV
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ1AwoB6Y6
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0ikFGbTIs
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqRMG3DcBx
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdhYsGhsea
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3LLWnIhiE
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9F8h4nM9L
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnddfOMpIU0
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFqUxdtAaC
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8dDeKQOjT
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwpUibFZSF
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryM25WVbuP
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOTJcUyEGB
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIlXGG6cs9
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDHP4HDyyJ
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L7DFbKzes
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliEI0dY6CS
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoG250IGD8
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XIR0JG9cB
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9dKc7Dgpj
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkxbudq48i
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09M6gjcHqU
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43VbZxUfUz
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8WZHiMlAQ
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVedBQFzPVN
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY9WGBSsus
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RhNczGJ4e
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN5qxr3Jtt
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzK3R2CxZi
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWWlxQ8keA
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwnD92QatU
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rjnKN8Ts7
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJSb1zZalj
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0rdivEVlM
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdQat5WZyp
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf8rIh0NuN
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi03FJhq1Kq
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2WyGDf0Zh
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jQBPG76wq
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8Hq9KVB4Z
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHy76EyqMG
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu23JSukyt
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ891HUERp4T
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaqxjDzNNz
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzJrIcszCd
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0B0Mq0IXO
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWA16hoPpc
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FHfmC9VDf
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc7zkBG3D0
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuPNrKHyfP
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbrxcT03gV
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpbdDBEljB
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbv4XISPKd
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qgYuhL38X
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R2EuiH2c2
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XVtF0Wajm
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCbtPwNArm
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOJDt7kaAU
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XKUZoda98
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcLJ5JnBo9
「我早就習慣了。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BDBLkwntH
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHe1rjuZmu
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfword7lZlu
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkts0v8qhFf
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ4XGXEvWY
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUofktdeFI
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHZU0SnQKi
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkBI6C0mnp
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX7NMs4Xo5
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz20Fm9MPDu
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp25Db3GsY
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMWAwdm3vM
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG69izz6m4K
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VEKXC3jf1
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyYoG0yxU7
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycsFWe3A7l
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD98rSbk0b
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO4ECfe7Wf
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsDnJyWgIm
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vZLPVFjVf
「這裡是？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xIfEjCurZ
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr8hLbqcnO
「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。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI65BG9Ok8
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLp3LS1HlH
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte2383VzkG
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GBlQxFNhs
「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。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpPGmDVLWN
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrJhQe7zRy
依奴指了指身後的醫院：486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfRA9j0guI
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ldoX5P4rk
「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。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa59esLvEeW
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPcnJskuLL
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocM9zINLsO
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEj9RU5k3o2
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27bfxqcewg
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn7er16IuM
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayaf5reNrX
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMBkF6Gd8x
「不可以嗎？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0epVvM63vR
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0DhOnTAZJ
「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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacQuY4YFym
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEoLA6w1b0
「把杯蓋給我。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yTKDIE9X9
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpU1ZPNns7
「就讓我握一下吧。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYeSDDBQbx
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDLMwmR7Xf
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxRjJL44Ud
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa21VovnL6
「依奴。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUOoBhCtdS
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ByylSt21Q
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv07UqY0BR
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWrhIR8pVE
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUwOnQivyL
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilFjvScdEm
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCO7QizdCk
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60GGqAutmH
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZRgsvyAlf
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8ADdk3IMc
「溫度回來了。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvPnYL6oJK
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsRhs3nUIe
「好了嗎？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIah5hDYZCl
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDjxpD4RUy
「再稍微這樣一下子。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4XLOD5qLF
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGeRWCD8lj
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MMmM2StRO
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx1tEqMCzb
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTTNnHV7Zp
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0IeM2YHEN
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──486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHiPTZGzmm
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVXPodOzts
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz1B06m2Ng
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqfWoT14MK
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uaYnLf3eP
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu35xPm4GpI
「喂。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOAJq9VLMO
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkSgpahp11
「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？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4isCZ2uuV
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwxm9h3YHY
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu9ip9ZrAd
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nGpzUYzKs
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQansRa2EGw

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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ5UIW3J21
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1PK9BiCos
依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjyW4zlhMX
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitrFRM1aV2
玻璃碎塊零落地四散一地，在積滿灰塵地地面上刮出痕跡。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j7fTHKEdn
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkpIIlaFil
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyToR7o3jL

「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。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcrAqgTzKQ

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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgV3sj0HA3
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme5bisOXKV
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gOiT7HMD8
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeNdr26veq
「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGtqyIA3yw

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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFLOKqxFO8
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZx0s1jNtd
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB6ZLWEHjX
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbyXE2MseG
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jA7oyXJRA
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlulcSA4NS6
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERgMRn39DA
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEMhMo2g4I
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHdRjCRbyl
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITkVstCAJb
赫恩想像著，體會著當時人們的惶恐、絕望。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWML9N7lza

兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt1GZRhnrk
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY9SZHfmYe
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg5SmOKVqe
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tEbnx4es0
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqLtMOiI3C
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVX1ezcseI
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKjG0M3YIC
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9ZGtJzSTY
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」。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41gllMRNd1

崩落的牆面、散落的磁磚、暴露的鋼筋。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s096RGecn

486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO93h4lM7Lp
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mCWjlfaYY
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0z6FFyCt0
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18WrEDX8fC
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvAGeN4Ze6
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi6h8ZbQf4
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh3RZ0HOQl
但為什麼要在這樣的地方作戰？甚至還用這麼重的手段？486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG31daXLxAJ

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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17KKxeKB1S

486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkv1yDrC3a
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVSYfznMZF

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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3tasP0QOP

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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4tZHpupz4

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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fIXCmXNVL
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq4MdLrn7k
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgegERRCmTG
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSmrr21Irf
「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。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6p9cw1prH

「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。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw1v1n77Sq

說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRQxuAx8Uc
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ud2PPbbrD
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ImbKmdjBs

「胸口被子彈貫穿的經驗，我倒是紮紮實實地體驗了一次。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx96fCr6qF7
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvFWvpUTLn
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9b68JbdKX

下一次面臨死亡的感覺時，就再也睜不開眼睛了。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCxDTf21Ck
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUyhZPVjMt
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThbnSYfGRR
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecRV8rJtn0
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5e7QYX4DH
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI0zDT9TcG
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRqrDwFRzo

他們是那段黑歷史的最後根據。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhLBucyymG

「或許有那麼一點吧，在妳身上找到『自己的投影』。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihiFhrJ7mu
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSQhyUSRoF
依奴低垂著頭，淡淡地說：486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVqOSe5w6H

「我很感謝『黑色聖夜』。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN6LalIYpn

「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。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFSpE4bUNM

不，正確來說，尚年幼的我們無法拿捏分寸。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT3d3DhDhq
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6k9QvYpgB
我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBQbiQ84PN
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU94Jrk1ld
因此，我們解放了自己的憎恨。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh7ITGlLnn

不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzek09bTgXL

無數無辜的人死了。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oXMedaWwF
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRFVv9ljqN
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoOJcCWc5t

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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrAYIZNHAy

屬於「黑色聖夜」的真實只能有一個。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxwdnaF041

486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVXjtb8d80
「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？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwORN0VeBxc

依奴將赫恩抱得更緊，令她無法喘息。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1JCk8SERJ
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX20gKBKIv
「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！」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscIZHwC1cn
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3NMAKqama
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD75IqFxuij
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhsw6VqO26
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnFZnvFsjS
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSIyhmxRkR
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：486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq36nlwByk
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yuLi1W8BW
「依奴的胸膛……很溫暖。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7T7IInUT8

所以，已經沒有問題了。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI2k9DVCsO

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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM2m9iE4iu
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpOIutlSyn
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHDnCCPL9m
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zJxWyWAco
不知過了多久，響起的細碎電子音才打斷了他們的沉默。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1lhLVP1t5

掛在依奴腰際的通訊儀器發出了電碼的頻率。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNKPYqRXhl

依奴沒有任何動作，只是緊抱著赫恩，將那段訊息聽完。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv5GpzLrWO

同樣的頻率重複了兩次，在這之後，通訊儀器再次回歸死寂。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasEwtI5RNC

面對懷中少女的提問，他一時間無法用任何言語應答。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYupgYRYPb
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH8A2v6EZH
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrFuGsDLq9

「地獄——」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bgsRYqf5J

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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUU7pKANVu
