這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhBWclDIO8
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOOjvOLaTq
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqMGqCIBcj
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaS7LNS3KE
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiyWtXNHyt
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnWufuzVJ8
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9c0yWWMjN
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfTzKOmwEO
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR79pUQXCM
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlwV9p2ZTY
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdF8SF73ea
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoViisgORTN
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrJrXxjQOy
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsGa3v3rYL
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqje4BktD4
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyHi63hYub
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp6fdStJS9
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYMiwVF3jJ
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYayn2LPXQ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8ERTWUr2a
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqD91l3DNk

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFFY9bsPaf
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj6M210K7h
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawSdoXdnaJ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfLIgLflsb
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSfk3eSkwG
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM7aEAMglg
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoJj8f4p5T
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6f7oI9aS9
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SqpjUIx4U
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN7Nv4Xz8R
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvJkeQAnl4
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yjWyuuzx0
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7eUdjGALK
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fh5iSLZ7k
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UKQJYETNW
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f96bw9sbK
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0npr2uHu7
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GQly4t3ri
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJJsSwphjC
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc74DeBvZc
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6SCv3Wxki
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMhb1BxHj1
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX7FMxWON1
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HQjzAu5PK
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKSGuAiAjL
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrwSM8lR1C
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yknt3U70T
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByX3IkM3MM
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBYkAFZTuQ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz3h1vh6bO
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKkvBKdNpj
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgT7VdDTTg
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuLwu6rfti
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnvJeEfLQZ
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n7uQNvl9y
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAHvvL7N4c
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──396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo3EAQYSCm
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77oO3OCQtQ
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTbHgL5v6B
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG4CFXRcrW
「唔嗚！」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP7xmhwnvo
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdppF01vK7E
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vSzm6D73G
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbiGAL3zIe
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0AVR5qMWo
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf29V6RvhmC
「依奴！」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97kdLtGcSN
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA4kosqVgX
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHMoebNnvH
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYJVQ7LkwL
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHjcpNfMPq
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmFYEYsh0W
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytgchdaVnQ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5H0NOJL0K
「依奴──」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcngZjV3xcV
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x41REQaCg
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZdnCJTlzm
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQniaTX9HVa
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YWuutWy6F
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C4RJcDChe
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8eJ4WgxNc
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizlUDZrMWQ
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FfexymVxR
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ag3TYaoPq
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwNwOweirw
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYFh8d2m7u
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaOZg3o7uG
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtptYFcGrh
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHwO4jHl8Z
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD3D929sw2
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XRWBGy0kO
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPERVmBJPHn
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZOp0byTsS
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ3XlcbsnY
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVXW81biFZ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwq933qc3t
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9fwzu0jL8
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpDqXDPOET
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l2jWzOqQW
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECi3f9Nm5Y
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXx0aHIIau
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43QBf59AOw
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QGhwU4y7s
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSczKURYksX
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlBplR0nly
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiMxvGDM69
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIH0xsvbB7
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx33mkc6tya
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAvVJ7LeSo
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLsEhJ2uSI
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxXMeVipqI
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I5JdFL9Eo
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROL14escLs
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mmI1bI6qg
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvJe6okTOh
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje3l7Du2ho
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpxIacEKlX
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XnhK8z7OQ
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNqRsc98cv
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhhfa1R5hW
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB0EcPdFnn
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HXk1jJata
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v1C9Irt5m
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gFbHF2PNa
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWJeaTuTQE
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq6UuIoyqp
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7dGkUfOvG
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pT4hC4ENQ
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBpETfzspC
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUabkBwwV7
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxdUFEatWa
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ6TKaUiUR
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJthVj0NA8k
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXco9a8DhJA
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q0kUL8cRB
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj41jwpVi9L
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1ryYGiE5g
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU9rrvftpb
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuJ0GNrPQJ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXLbgMm4yA
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXqgAZYUov
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a1bK6n4KA
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EwnVH3Bdg
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF19rh2Y41C
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqFCHkHinB
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNrieS9ftV
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mV5Zb13v2
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pZ0fMRYgr
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTDVaKo09t
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJMtomZISR
「我早就習慣了。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT4gqRf2Jx
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Tz3KOInot
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr76wouWkY
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PgcGrdeIr
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwSsVD8XRd
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rd5gB9gan
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7mohMbp7O
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WmNLxLMuC
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1cOkTnTr9
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WfxOOWRNA
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnyTQJhFet
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiH8NZlnip
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8uhMNTWCj
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PyokfJpRI
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEwsapweN4
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88WHffoiNe
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMpT1VHxLX
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CJJpWPUbH
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvNSZPTO65
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lbNRs3kXf
「這裡是？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmR0RW8qiC
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynw7zVqxg3
「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。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ogd4YsVo1
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFvsLoEuU1
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2TYIWXPMf
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAio894mYo
「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。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUHCR9l0p2
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdJDnTpDW6
依奴指了指身後的醫院：396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinrM8sqOW4
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb9swJZIWE
「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。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWNEf1OeQR
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡky47rEQs2O
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMotB4FGcQ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY3pjGpto7
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0bVd6Iai8
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbz1pvOdVK
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpxsHerUHd
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcqigclGM5
「不可以嗎？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNsAKDHOVG
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ9h2m1GJC
「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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYz8e95ZvE
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm5PsIXNm9
「把杯蓋給我。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMu6kVUunG
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjHVbtHuiX
「就讓我握一下吧。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0Dv2HfCcl
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB38zzGnogq
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6AxSAquop
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aJz55ZjI8
「依奴。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCgj8oQF0u
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQeJ5HSdZ6
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiECfa8gFy
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFiokd2QWA
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzAd28XWGm
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx681rgKlu3
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB437lK5tF1
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo6xSPTlki
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPd2FX3LzB
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W9xc4QxSv
「溫度回來了。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepMivHovb1
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0WHWgCr8a
「好了嗎？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc1ZWd9gkU
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOKnq3xnQp
「再稍微這樣一下子。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnAIZbxYAZ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w06JgR4OU
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV3lLnHeLk
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkQ9v5QQ20
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2QaiC8Rb9
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTcyWCjeUI
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──396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcJbRB8Lnn
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCbAZ3rRzb
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyK087KjlJ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk6eClJ54c
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAs4dQ5jyT
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWixicUoBM
「喂。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoZHkmR8rL
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvTtMPHBrF
「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？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBMJkeAlng
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF47pDdROiB
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSQsCuo2Dn
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB96G5dWeO
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnZ7a02rtH

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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vKiWTQ6aG
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj1y3mf5xs
依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX5dCqkjdB
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72GCmddBlE
玻璃碎塊零落地四散一地，在積滿灰塵地地面上刮出痕跡。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdcF0baIwT
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkLDCB3HXn
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyieQ1guWb
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNNNHk6oP1
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOnStVlAUp

「依奴，為什麼要來這裡？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWzbHciYZS
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUoewcQ2Ze
「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。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn07K8mYRGL

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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5E0p6vEcR
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl5mSmqNL6
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYwFm14DkO
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8p7zEKxJ7
「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM01wmrtZc
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqwU18Kf4t
依奴用平淡的口氣說：396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuMmvHjZoz

「而且，也根本無從整理起呢。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGAykazh1I
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6paEfD9nK
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh21eaNBfF
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRVHH44NVZ
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovvaOwz7zr
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U0hv8KQ02
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYf5cHn3fZ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU01J0tp1lr
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OXUW2dYqN
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy41bdjXkm
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ko9ZxpWqJ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVLB7Nzaq1
赫恩想像著，體會著當時人們的惶恐、絕望。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2QY9W7Iup
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rWPgTeUbz
兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRrD2jcQyG
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5lN9izoY0
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYDw034E6V
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOJnj8GixI
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gRBs4ekqZ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ySkJGgrqP
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIsJuQ0z2w
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CLuuQq4wt
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」。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWkUE7IYND

崩落的牆面、散落的磁磚、暴露的鋼筋。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeemOvzk5A

徒留下形狀，散落於各處，無人為其收拾的、人的死骸。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9QrT6bmpt
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74ZpCDrPvS
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMi2PkD6Fs
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bu40byNjE
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSX5qbxiij
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBxcwiGGK2
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrNE3U4rDn
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnhIBzKX4Q
但為什麼要在這樣的地方作戰？甚至還用這麼重的手段？396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9SkK1DJK0

396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyTulVhQh1
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmHtNSCmti

396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xGi3Qai8u

396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEAvsD9TON
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KIIPBnlB4

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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCK0GiIo9B

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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFZ6k7MGTn

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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eR2fz3Wvb
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZB0BvvSAo
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthIQzlIc6Z
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gUzC5h3d1
「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。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUkswvgi8l

「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。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7mdHW3AiW
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayse9PV59b
說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNyPQMDqqI
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WOpi8uCx4
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTylZNsfNTh
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5RzrLzkoJ
「胸口被子彈貫穿的經驗，我倒是紮紮實實地體驗了一次。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bwp2PrzPA
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeHHEqPqaZ
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuyEqTswt4
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsODyaVTzKI
「這樣的事情已經再也不會發生了。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4ACYzjfNT

世界上最後一條馴狗人的軍犬已經喪命了。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4YF4nMdai
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bwUwKOeWl
下一次面臨死亡的感覺時，就再也睜不開眼睛了。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxA8hHC6qG
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8564x6KZm
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu2h6iyXUm
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIO9NnMZ1c
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXsWGtBs5u
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZAsj22G80
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUOf5QbnF0
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzYRPBlekt
他們是那段黑歷史的最後根據。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQNqa5HPje

此刻連同馴狗人的研究場一同埋葬了。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnohoDZBeU4
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQs41VjKAn
赫恩若有所思地凝視著無人的街道。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENUu8tchAA
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkATj4gGLy
「或許有那麼一點吧，在妳身上找到『自己的投影』。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgxltwK2B0
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGs3Pjxwim
依奴低垂著頭，淡淡地說：396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5FYrqgXom
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nGVt5JxdK
「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。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvK892P3g2

「依奴當時是怎麼逃出來的呢？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV9QOk6lSW
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbJshZgQB9
「我很感謝『黑色聖夜』。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUtrRp4ms9
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJAM6LQogX
赫恩對於依奴的發言，露出了疑惑的表情。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ydFGUJLCS
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfwj9v12fP
「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。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqx2PP1yys
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh8YqtXpc3
最後，用炸藥在醫院的地板上製造了通道。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTjwVNUNjq
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ5oDT3zy2
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGapC64gFG
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwAcvhwYYF
不，正確來說，尚年幼的我們無法拿捏分寸。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASHhmDAlNR
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlfajp4Fri
我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaKY7g5Vi0
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0PDebOT7O
因此，我們解放了自己的憎恨。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iyxxQ8abZ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpzgEHNWQQ
不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PsQMQMVmP
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYlxOw1iFg
無數無辜的人死了。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED3lAwiRQY
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb9Pt5w4Fa
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xx7FXUJR6
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5qYCcZbDX
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFZlYb8nhD
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFPGTjJN2v
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P8v7g0SCt
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ966m2GVSBm
「才會留下這樣的痕跡……」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRrp6SMJXx
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxYhFRBZtI
「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。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHq90umTeP
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv4MbE46Qz
「不過依奴最後成功離開了這座城市對吧？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGsq8QiJbP
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTaE1TRIv2
「我在邊境遊蕩了整整一個月，最後遇到了倫斯。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZSVO9jbEG
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxNwwa8vRC
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnjOUjaKBi
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxtvTOoOjI
「也就是傭兵？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw38xsdRwn
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQejxKqxty5
「嗯，當時我覺得並沒有什麼不好。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QNnKZ1NuE
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAZSMuwCAy
應當說，他相當感謝倫斯給了他一條新的道路。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vUAtamXbV
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNT7WkGc7C
當生存的選擇從零變成一時，無論什麼人都會欣喜若狂吧。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk7nqnMkZG
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxzwxhD69g
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05w0tl0V9F
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtEOSzqeYu
「但是，」赫恩的話音走到嘴邊，她踟躕地沉默了數秒。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMvt6GDPns
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dFQegXlua
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kPwCdPrdK
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyK6h960fb
那雙冷漠的眼眸中並不是毫無感情的。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uN82byR3m

「為什麼選擇回來呢？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqMog2upxz

396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bDlbXGv6U
「你為什麼回到曾經逃離的地方呢？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykqnNHs9SA

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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa16UODdNun

396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZMdAjIc6X
「赫恩，妳就是我的『存在價值』。我是因為妳才活下來的，那麼接下來我要為了妳而活著，我覺得應該如此，而且我也喜歡這個決定。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTa7P14jNa
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgljDHyCSex
自由的意義在於──能夠由自己定義自己的價值。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXtd2FbEAQ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8azptLL9a
依奴所歸屬的『價值』，僅僅是與赫恩相遇。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3zCZ3wWW7

「不……不行。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaM5h72oDd
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJun1HEilR
赫恩搖了搖頭，沉下雙眸並且避開了依奴的視線。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk28l6QXnMy
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnj5NbpNso
「我的存在能夠讓誰獲得自由、值得讓誰來犧牲奉獻——依奴現在所說的話……總覺得好可怕。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8GwCwmI0X
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyFhTcORiO
赫恩瑟縮著身體，凌駕於寒冷之上的理由，讓她畏縮地環抱著自己。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kF69qiIOA
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7g82YmAgv
拯救、回報、恩惠、生存價值之類的飄渺字眼，太過銳利了。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nAlWH1hQu
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLKtWJDm3T
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？396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL6V7Xu4hL
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYNd3Tqlfr
那些聲音，那些死亡。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqYut0CE3g

她能夠擺脫那些混濁的過往，自私地追求自己的解放嗎？396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d8PGPA6kK
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwWPbhiQT5
屬於「黑色聖夜」的真實只能有一個。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFTrS6j70Y

「依奴，我是造成大家死亡的『災難』……」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNJyPWzzEj
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZASttp9bZV
赫恩搖晃著腦袋，濕潤的銀白色髮絲因此狼狽地搖晃。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLFMPU7j86
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa0NO8MfUq
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8deoMKD39q
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3z46crxET
現在衝擊著胸口的這種感覺，是感情嗎？396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6aMbuf6xu
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l2Q8A1xtT
這就是恐懼嗎？396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lcp7C8Zi7

396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXpQzkmNMo
她迷惘地低喃，無法理解如何啜泣的她，只能不停顫抖著。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr4W5pPT9Z
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrCEcSH7s0
「如果總有一天，保護著我的依奴也會像那些死去的人一樣，被災難的陰影吞噬掉，在我腦中化為虛無的殘影，這樣的話我不要……」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ewj7vlsnc
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU920uCyZPj
「赫恩，看著我，我還活著！」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUI5xlQ9WW
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT6DE0uXo6
她驚愕地抬起頭。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6cb3f0v9f
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo73dzqoNTa
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEu23tiHqA
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxIxhDlSs4
「聽見了嗎，這個心跳聲？聽到血液撞擊心室的聲響了吧？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NplXJQooG
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoOXCUcdZu
依奴低著頭，在赫恩耳際輕與呢喃：396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTABCuZiqG
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4vT4GAeaT
「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？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskqcNwUjFd
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbLR9aEogy
「可是……」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnumU0gLPIF
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaM0ZyWKsi
依奴將赫恩抱得更緊，令她無法喘息。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvpWFiTacO
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN0OJDEQza
「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！」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxkEuJREvq
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uImJweH7Z
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYxubJBGA6
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHPejg0oUX
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNpPgs6JtC
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pQSiamB0r
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：396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49SVqTm5jK
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6hBOg9skI
「依奴的胸膛……很溫暖。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwAHXZwKmm

「感受到了嗎？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRtF7YyQjL

「嗯，感受到了，活著的依奴，還有活著的我自己。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkvCSPUgHH
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveTBIYjmZH
所以，已經沒有問題了。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIscVXa7Mgw
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3I5n5GLsQ
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0RBnmckys
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDysWmK0sPm
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCcrTOeUKZ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIEmJ0Kn0M
不知過了多久，響起的細碎電子音才打斷了他們的沉默。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n4Pe74Eg4
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLkRJakvqw
掛在依奴腰際的通訊儀器發出了電碼的頻率。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDVYUhG3hF
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cqKs2bCIz
依奴沒有任何動作，只是緊抱著赫恩，將那段訊息聽完。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx2GTSqXXm
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9Uv7VMzxl
同樣的頻率重複了兩次，在這之後，通訊儀器再次回歸死寂。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E9oDhyQaN
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BiG1WjYHW
「是艾瑪利的訊息。」依奴的聲音顯得低沉且無情緒，甚至有些僵硬。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagbnWSi3Yh

「戰爭終於要開始了，對吧。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ0NQldTIP

「依奴要去當傭兵了嗎？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVigNgx1IlW
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mlEpbMAEH
面對懷中少女的提問，他一時間無法用任何言語應答。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHv7pvN8V1
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquk86HeGKW
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSqBeZ3jpR
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQe45UXLbu
「和我一起逃走吧。」他低喃著：396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC9glMbWtu
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyrUQoV3Pf
「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。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVBzgNXXY9

「地獄——」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0yAcGwPjs
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UVPD5K9XY
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。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UA4Yw5Df2
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwtDNR2wJr
閃過的畫面，只有譚雅那泫然欲泣的表情。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfwrUlJKZO
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR7KV9kYvO
陌生的穿刺感痛擊了她的胸膛。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDPhgJgj91
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBPQM9vLTH
這份尚未命名的情感，刺激著她沉寂的胸口，催促著她去感受。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl73F2Cs4I
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWcjlBoHrS
赫恩輕輕搖了搖頭：396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSgqBnR3oL
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPMosRmAig
「不可以，」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QjTtTfiAN

「依奴，請帶我回去吧。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnCHdBvWyT
