這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetFS7bQ0Dh
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R8IZvxp10
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQjjXoUW0M
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN25EnMmGc
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1SgLDRZYD
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9cKkyYDNX
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVwna9TDkL
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq8U9ohWlt
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1vrEIbrQh
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSn37P94i3
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi33ijf419M
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1lH3IBcX3
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm5uvjDH5T
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO0zNYndGN
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8lWMH3TPG
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUl00BSnfi
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kCkoxpmxz
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsd8FDCKkb
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebUs33XcV2
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzuabziBsE
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKId0slHZH

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpBrgUiXu2
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpky42dghOw
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BIjISpGnp
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8elH4ZJnFC
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvuz4Yq2VJ
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDyRFaDaY2
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9rP3xPJ5F
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zb4ozjyLd
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt88Go9iIn
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwMYN8VUOx
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomP3AhSUFr
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNBRWPz7cL
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1bQ27su9V
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHT45k0LQu
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeoCnE60B7
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoB7uGc8Xj
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OcQheOoec
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquESPrDaWP
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI38biokkk
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSgV6BKzac
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJGg4lDeCD
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN8F0OvIol
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuROfZ4I1fl
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPn5Vnx61Q
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8nOneche6
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV9XIxRtC9
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0YtDlcVa8
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1kIVccQhU
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKiUf0jIiZ
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UWAJ2sRmh
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlgUE9PbTW
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxx0xgfV08
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoaJ9Tl19u
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QMDksOmqp
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhO7m7S5gk
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k3TjbsHnR
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──419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa98Y2DsTgv
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyffJuETWf
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtugBSClfZG
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR7477MM1w
「唔嗚！」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IQhinKDMS
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiinzyqu8Y3
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7Aq5CvfRW
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLf0ORFf6s
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSsAfJhnGz
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB1NTcaFvo
「依奴！」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZMrPlVbcU
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOUj6PbRus
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR6zCVmxWE
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cbiOkgzY6
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKPCRAXvWJ
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJdBKM3v49
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThwREBJnbP
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDmXLATLyc
「依奴──」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9HbBgx0bq
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdFBA4BQ3R
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLq2bQ3Sa4
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlXgFwxcxt
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVVaorBlzt
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDI6R37RFb
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQQrB9map9
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfvmCO63EH
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBYd03DOot
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2rRUwcwJF
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lEB5K87Ka
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKUw4YOafD
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFrMzW3WEr
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtNIKLjL9h
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv4Xk6o7ri
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawq27Voros
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq61yWfJTz5
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXvg93a5bC
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKzkYyilUj
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qqzYT73Pq
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiT9yFdCoY
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcqcxyW3ks
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm9RYpRPaS
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadEnRODje3
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiZyN97mW7
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxov2c4bfz
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII7oYiR0py
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ172R2VZ4At
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIUhyNIpli
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMzPL08GtT
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ28dSQN7qn
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0u2xhmUxY
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG5kEZu6JI
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqKJf2zo87
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zpE7Qfsse
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtbf7Kricb
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJSlDvzkH2
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZpUdl0hY9
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFNXKXk0h3
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlVI5Ygxhl
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAXyCfatIF
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYHSOxJRCU
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWQkOYwZEp
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps3iHub6uN
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5FUy4t3Q6
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMlYRQu4i8
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VZ7JJZcCc
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8rNFydf1w
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDV5mb7Hkt
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvreClvRNn
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl2ZmJa7Dn
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfADlsIRwa
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHvVBzyp7r
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlZAxdQGiK
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2C4pbag6K
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrViZvpYT8G
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRjM8LYm0y
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BWKSTy5UU
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm13RDJ0Lc
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcGJNSFtFM
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b6L0QJuNc
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjhqEfddSY
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjvWsMYjLL
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nO0SZVY3N
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKYaaBAfCC
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhVkq2IElo
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDogjiBcAg
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdscBnccJBW
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2XlDEAoVk
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5srbfSYdJE
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX6YNTsKRT
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWQiPl4nvx
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXsVchOH3b
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s5d9BtBRF
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5YC6TCfsn
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5rearBGgV
「我早就習慣了。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVmRkrQaxy
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX26iS14DdZ
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQAr64RhLR
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu2T9QzkBb
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPez3apRTU
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3BywP1801
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNiU9LD6NS
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOH769RrQj
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr48PMRvB8P
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgfrCbZU7N
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UmzW1HA15
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhLMnGkwR3
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvBAsw83lK
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHuKTxbqUD
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBqw84TOaS
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq8h3EesRF
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9yoAU2ALz
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphLEWZ2RXE
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGuz853XAh
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne3CMj5JeU
「這裡是？」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdOxg8Oa58
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVGJUsn3EY
「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。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tnInyaROx
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTwbQyi785
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQQVHiXE6f
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKYy89hPD1
「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。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPIrUcX52Z
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr7MGUcmCP
依奴指了指身後的醫院：419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EBfWD6tIQ
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS0SrKfSrU
「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。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y3mZh3zhS
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHWn9kKXMO
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJtDQqtCN7
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYYbzVjpcw
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ357GBegma3
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cbXljehCY
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrDC9yhlB9
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE4Newgqkl
「不可以嗎？」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjo1AEROyb
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDoQ0v7mim
「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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmk5mNcX8r
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFQNckrJiY
「把杯蓋給我。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWOBq7YTSm
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0K3DY6vvm
「就讓我握一下吧。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkxDcFxVFs
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuSOca9Xuh
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPSlxU2Hps
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoge6W9Rze
「依奴。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPoyo4aat3
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjolpH3Tvk
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjR4ZX8Qux
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ql6oFLpD0
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbcDB3LT1l
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUXhLS7aQr
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS9NA8GOS1
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBtetcTKd7
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuuWRUzyvs
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21YJHy6Ixj
「溫度回來了。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF2k1jJCow
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2VzLf4ESn
「好了嗎？」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeUjVDdod3
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoOKacICbH
「再稍微這樣一下子。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBExHkG89u4
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC9viwZXRE
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwPFie6TY5
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiddUuGXLMm
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTJbUqhFew
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWTJgL9pUZ
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──419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmD8PMDi3m
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVWsASc4fC
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5aTYVziGR
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzudRgRcqbw
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWdCOXyNW9
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9XQiyLa1v
「喂。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6aJ1GsRiH
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH1VAOqZci
「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？」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReKVdNtubK
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshcWjdSQVI
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUgb4iE3Io
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XB5BKyeN2
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM7ZqpuHRS

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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZamDRCTpYf
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu54pGACdz
依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61GIDeYNWQ
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskUvwapZLv
玻璃碎塊零落地四散一地，在積滿灰塵地地面上刮出痕跡。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1XfnzCiQN
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CHlqMGfJJ
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD8SydFoJy
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNrVJZK8tA
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7faEVHcFKD

「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。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP9AcmKcJP

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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeELyykYQB3
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjlJ1ul7W9
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFP9eqwvVG
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OZNfYJuV7
「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdw3KhIQVr
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQKtx0epRz
依奴用平淡的口氣說：419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA1sxgCwAN

「而且，也根本無從整理起呢。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ926n9CrmIa
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxBT8Ew88n
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXvDpxsMKx
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj0HVl5W7d
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktUA5TZIZl
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjzDC5bIyb
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi1JJhWgTB
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj0X5DW5Og
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRK2FDWSc9
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U7MerqbMC
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6QkZbd1es
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidllzcQasu
赫恩想像著，體會著當時人們的惶恐、絕望。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH2eMVlzBK
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M8FU5Ekkp
兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjPV3Dc2me
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcewcjloJU
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6ntqn6csu
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ599yjLWnn2
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd9yRAe7Gn
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxV0xqKVV4
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uMuC4Tb2O
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2khgqqRHT
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」。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndvun3fJAa

崩落的牆面、散落的磁磚、暴露的鋼筋。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO8C76K8L4

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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLQNAF2lSN
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAv0RrFuSQ
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzbZh3PQQh
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm1qbYBiLc
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybyI9WT6mI
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZQQJ3ipTz

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf51y5UHAiT
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Nz1GbnrxT

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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf5PjGE6g2

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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHxb4ncXY2

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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWkIpgBpvA
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijoDFjMw3B
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxonkmnkPW
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J8hbFLYGr
「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。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VveN5ZCr4

「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。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cWhZoKtF7
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkudSZUNT53
說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCPK0wGkG2
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTVkENhbhn
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79Z6h6BveD

「胸口被子彈貫穿的經驗，我倒是紮紮實實地體驗了一次。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQIjvb079n
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMogVsrNZU
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMRJ926PwZ

下一次面臨死亡的感覺時，就再也睜不開眼睛了。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLusvkbLFt
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5nzuGOtZp
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJMSJ8hrQ2
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrgeLey06E
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s3McALmu7
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCArsHqPnH3
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIp04UhVEX
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNsxjrnYvR
他們是那段黑歷史的最後根據。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeygMjoewe

此刻連同馴狗人的研究場一同埋葬了。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZpttrS4vl

赫恩若有所思地凝視著無人的街道。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP7OGleXqv
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwNRkde8DZ
「或許有那麼一點吧，在妳身上找到『自己的投影』。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHv625poFC
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwDyCJ0bVU
依奴低垂著頭，淡淡地說：419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegEXrR2mcb

「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。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjwj9H5CWD

「依奴當時是怎麼逃出來的呢？」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JWD4oOy9r
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49NkdDGra1
「我很感謝『黑色聖夜』。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SmVlZ5RQe
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLHbKGoeW4
赫恩對於依奴的發言，露出了疑惑的表情。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNItqG0T98
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZJUV3x8HU
「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。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4yj2Xbew9
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuhSwjFfTp
最後，用炸藥在醫院的地板上製造了通道。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cJ0iTd7zE

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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaWVnLZufo
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUvnXYtyAb
不，正確來說，尚年幼的我們無法拿捏分寸。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutDJeh8CG0
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDbwWelka6
我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hrOLPTZQs
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LX4RlbQvG
因此，我們解放了自己的憎恨。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtKh2E8hi9

不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl6B9W0M04

無數無辜的人死了。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi2vDGOXaJ
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFeMJqKEc2
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46IBuMbRjS
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTLhuC13Ly
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxS9ZboxTU

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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeChaCnPJtP

「才會留下這樣的痕跡……」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1524f9ZcWN

「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。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSFsUYPo7T
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHznuy2SWb
「不過依奴最後成功離開了這座城市對吧？」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbabuVCm3tP

「嗯，當時我覺得並沒有什麼不好。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMTJAtGNFC

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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV6NPoKadG

「但是，」赫恩的話音走到嘴邊，她踟躕地沉默了數秒。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvdMmBI0BH

「你為什麼回到曾經逃離的地方呢？」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNN6iHv193

那些聲音，那些死亡。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNmAmVwqbw

屬於「黑色聖夜」的真實只能有一個。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT2anoV5bU

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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQvW1UPlpH

依奴低著頭，在赫恩耳際輕與呢喃：419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F9lnMHUe1
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq133Xwjrs8
「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？」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2i1Xwpo1J

依奴將赫恩抱得更緊，令她無法喘息。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlO28oxzVZ
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDHXa5tDZh
「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！」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVN34O56MM
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BWedYvDWq
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW115GSDZsJ
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvKsE3XCci
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizZ1qetQwM
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64qceNH6QM
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：419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LhhRdgIXj
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv90hLPRpH
「依奴的胸膛……很溫暖。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuQmBRBqHo

419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFG7ovQv47
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0GbpHOUIm

不知過了多久，響起的細碎電子音才打斷了他們的沉默。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAcPrdAfUr

掛在依奴腰際的通訊儀器發出了電碼的頻率。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFmcbhKSBN

依奴沒有任何動作，只是緊抱著赫恩，將那段訊息聽完。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYOzNUnepU

同樣的頻率重複了兩次，在這之後，通訊儀器再次回歸死寂。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0GRYyzBOd

面對懷中少女的提問，他一時間無法用任何言語應答。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6F0aUnA7r
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnqRJHT83T
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnVAlMg2KE

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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHyCrfDz8p
