這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjayFXMRFTm
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXgUn3q1a8
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrmC4F7s7h
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTcReKXhmX
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ljv8erAB9
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g4RozJPsm
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoO5hFrOcj
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlslLKxKPu
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUyuyrT6ni
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDYC8MFBur
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZcKAqgWQp
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QGgEq7GzV
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefysGexhX0
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJhbQ3hmSI
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4byHlAyTdm
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl3mLSRLcg
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASBxtmWkSd
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDwFTEmHYW
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOjSQrYAXm
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk90xXbFHdv
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYukkivnWVL

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh9rSU66A9
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDIrczRr6s
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfXL2glJi5
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjDODodUVG
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsjZ2omYfT
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDgMcGqOiX
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTgdkdRNaN
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCGhILcplP
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNp8TGRtHK
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZtb84R5Nu
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3yeEtCBcN
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzADRvVhcVG
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHducWwUSvf
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6pCjqJV0f
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEzf27gUJz
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uQyl5QrFi
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2HfryY0Ib
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S2tT9R4vC
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSnHSFmhj7
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxoShiRd4C
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxycR0jZyj
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS3vL8QE4A
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP353IhYcuz
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c4hoblsb8
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxltgiv11pH
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu61r7TmglZ
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW1Er5AdDu
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnCZxm4POt
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhODlN5pyQv
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv0RI7jXmH
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfFmJUxylg
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mw6Q8tLVY
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF38AhllwY
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzt0DSfhpQ
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnY7rLafM1
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPmJHkwNRZ
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──493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPOMqIhSFt
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVnDIT9BdU
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVehUiQ5wAQ
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgDLx3X8Wp
「唔嗚！」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xHUQObk8o
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYg591paBL
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4mHZPeHOh
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU9f417Rog
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQJZO7ohmZ
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHOb4KDGG1
「依奴！」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMAWDbtIjk
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo4OXNS5LD
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiduL36tJ2
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmDLQKyEly
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA6QpWVWm1
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqfiqSKC1h
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4HwOpbf3e
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD7tRdV2Kz
「依奴──」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy7IG20Ped
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAitoWNoCdP
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoyYtQ7EKk
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCLZ6qdSnG
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrxaaiyH7N
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqY7QKWjfo
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI7Lf0CVuL
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjkOmtdNMP
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bsiT41kAX
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45bl6BCLN4
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVrOSezhge
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2I0hAe3TG
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnZmkC4OS5
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAs5UMngxX
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdjmQXII4I
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpe3Wfpaz2
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCajbkZO27
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkHHjnDZik
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3JzuLzYVf
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZiZHiJlgP
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzgANr31I7
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOdf65R2JT
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHtHqiwqut
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceU8GVsXNc
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPeVn8ki9N
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uTyeiR6op
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLedl14wKn
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5su2YayeCS
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pyF4pFMWW
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQRLcqCxFE
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPBg1RnTWS
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2aRCz1SvI
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ccauhP9lz
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZeM7NZ4Iu
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7qKckDRIR
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfogdYzj236
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiq3KGZcYf
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy38M2dnxw
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZvPcYyQXX
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp8ENNFBKr
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l6ojZ7NWu
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxoVCaD8yR
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDcWxnqWbf
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvlGyoutYf
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKEwVJrWLX
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSnTKo6P53
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcNF8DBZ3q
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvMN2LaBsK
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMTDTD2Ebi
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8SSX5gSdK
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4HXLQT7KV
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2dIZRL0Z1
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAtocGVwHY
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7ejg8K6du
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmOoK3opd9
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH2FaUhipH
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58Zv8p4hcT
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlViQI9roY
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQOUC7PNmh
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxpYs9Q3ur
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdQxbsNZD5
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ4qgbF76W
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhrXLEa4Dc
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xOMYgz9dr
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3D8T441No
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg8vVino4Z
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWAbYyxWfQ
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxWHvZPkli
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsri6NHzQqi
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3wteBC3Mw
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUAbTr45Xy
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3VAKPKPzr
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A6arOAwNi
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl4V1TO8Cc
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB44BYbggBl
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33SgGVb3T7
「我早就習慣了。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVxE2sLGdZ
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiqFrkfUiy
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuYyVD1YJh
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv199xdYgC7
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3F4icowPq
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKNboiZD47
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrEGO9QFkH
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD83W3SB1lC
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDin0iFHp4Q
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2b0kowVd9
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0fDWCJnLX
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotJOOf1qmP
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RzxvrjsYi
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ8W5wUrbR
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtARIDnMmy
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns1DPYIfW9
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD23HhDN608
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r2Ttwk4Fi
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LlpulXu6p
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJZbp0RPgi
「這裡是？」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtHiid8d4s
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQLxdn63vl
「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。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiLynsT1Rx
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h6bFVTIQO
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO535a1WV0r
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDmTp2NuRm
「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。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsobDmx6lX
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F0lK9dWFc
依奴指了指身後的醫院：493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU0E3csLYS
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDgBlVqhVi
「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。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oMKGOXcRc
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5yHTJpgS0
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWc7RVnpLT
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdktn58KbKH
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAeiXYRK0R
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3aMknalTw
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbEqmEaFSv
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZZbO0zDTS
「不可以嗎？」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm3oopZvks
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuUNpqlpVK
「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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60qaPuXYNY
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1Iq1bsrQN
「把杯蓋給我。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MjmaStSsl
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiTx3uieLs
「就讓我握一下吧。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA9uUwF2fj
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QEIDk5ZKq
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcXZUAC989
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFufgJ74Cw
「依奴。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun2n0ExK6y
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb8sbocCup
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVbFBbdGYk
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOSjtwAOOH
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqnbNbGe4M
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsI3WrbW83
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkAeTq9x9z
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sLUxUJa0I
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxAW6jyo4D
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cBfInbHzy
「溫度回來了。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62H9QeTewu
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkTslOwN2k
「好了嗎？」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhML9j7ldP
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZOFcndbmM
「再稍微這樣一下子。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIYhRNfGLK
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RRDkZEIES
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziBEPfk0pN
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp2mUE2xnV
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMlDAYS8fG
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrieegbLMlS
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──493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2niy9cTt1x
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXiqd1SDgd
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLT6IOPgAE
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9ie6UEQX4
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunkkowQYlD
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwj2AT5NZa
「喂。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLGqzNSJQs
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUBLpuSuq2
「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？」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSNhPsDQ33
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6opoPrl0SY
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K4x8ut6EG
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYkSZjQItx
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUck2NmKMA

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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jFQZjVnDY
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3xKdhZ3SO
依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyPFpdluTB
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYX0s7r5OG
玻璃碎塊零落地四散一地，在積滿灰塵地地面上刮出痕跡。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡION42Fc3ex
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCUKhBvMRa
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIlpEOp6kd
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfFOPAhC54
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5hNGlLi9e

493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aWj5eekQE
「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。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6lg146Q6T

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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1aIlg6Tue
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdCtluPri4
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwv4mcLFBY
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPvMIdro0a
「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f6xRH9fqM
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PhubfNNLG
依奴用平淡的口氣說：493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0nto5CIGf

「而且，也根本無從整理起呢。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPpk6Gy5x3

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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCoit08KWn
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEitrCvO27n
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHuBBb9oem
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOteXRWCqTr
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7rxMNRLkW
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJgQ4kSEse
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB9Lx1F9lr
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI3rDxxLqT
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeSZh8B1C3
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZxqKnh9Eu
赫恩想像著，體會著當時人們的惶恐、絕望。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCFf1Y1c3K

兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hXS5lzgyE
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH3m7pZyvI
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxhJSBo16F
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGezE6Y1SJ
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxiDmCEnlD
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJtwDiXtYO
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5y6OJ4eVJ
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnqzZfOgN7
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」。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B3FDIgHuV
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO5olM3TjW
崩落的牆面、散落的磁磚、暴露的鋼筋。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMEP1vudAl

徒留下形狀，散落於各處，無人為其收拾的、人的死骸。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gZ684XU6C
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqhJkAvFJT
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl4JIQDs2J
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FHCZGEIBM
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcTUW5t7G2
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGLrfv3DUX
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHOBM09Syy
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP124Exnddd
但為什麼要在這樣的地方作戰？甚至還用這麼重的手段？493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjUE4wNDZC

493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI28R9n7IR
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4iHo3Mkxf

「最後的最後，我們也只殘留下了這點痕跡嗎。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABA0lOr1aP

「沒錯，」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnx7nfMfbe
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNlX8ccxnj
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：493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCSPD9XbEK

她想要任憑這塊沒用地軀殼老去、腐朽，就像沉入骯髒的大海中一般，漸漸被毒物侵蝕殆盡，灼燒肉體、啃壞骨架，分解成寂寞的碎片。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDjinva91L

493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF4LcmzMGG
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAba9S6d9Z8
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOAdRShyff

493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ1AOwsSbU
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW01JowZhMz

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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6z9wMzyph

493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIZ725Q03e

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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJZMvleWYD
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8Eyd9YQhc
「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。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJal6uf4PE
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5IyfDTkHO
「但是依奴……」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6rLI9VB5O
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCbSmTIVeL
「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。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhbZ9pvX90
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKecSzVO9G7
說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58f9wiGY9v
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkKMAFNJE3
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cMdzpR4w8
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5tjnc4mah
「胸口被子彈貫穿的經驗，我倒是紮紮實實地體驗了一次。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsKJ3ZAd2B
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoTVCIfTxh
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQtJ1lCR75
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DjZ2KU6Xc
「這樣的事情已經再也不會發生了。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nVY5AjmLu

世界上最後一條馴狗人的軍犬已經喪命了。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxyfI2DH9Z
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGNpBIEVsH
下一次面臨死亡的感覺時，就再也睜不開眼睛了。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ec8XadEqN
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ656V0dzGAf
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDVXoQRCv8
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGHDgrVf7U
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP4tXdZf7G
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOf0D6yK0u
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaQENx85kk
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMrVvmSD1v
他們是那段黑歷史的最後根據。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUePOrDDu2
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZbWZf5j7L
此刻連同馴狗人的研究場一同埋葬了。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeGBtp9pUM
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcSOfk5RtV
赫恩若有所思地凝視著無人的街道。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kDmx68uPD
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaCZ88jVxw
「或許有那麼一點吧，在妳身上找到『自己的投影』。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNCTbGhS5B
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG5Qz1DKZt
依奴低垂著頭，淡淡地說：493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwWHZlWRZ5
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i4hee0o3Z
「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。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqobC8EgPx
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYIKdtPKWw
「依奴當時是怎麼逃出來的呢？」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2QoTfIe4X
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRUsJKBDZP
「我很感謝『黑色聖夜』。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9i2x98y4i
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUUzDxB6cv
赫恩對於依奴的發言，露出了疑惑的表情。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgFVRrpGYv
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7tV46COYE
「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。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVVQmwpS13
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYXXZeP54v
最後，用炸藥在醫院的地板上製造了通道。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCq89Ohlrp
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO99kd5Px9T
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0327ijOLg
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Vj90Wgkcs
不，正確來說，尚年幼的我們無法拿捏分寸。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDNgE750eG
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DFw81NGR1
我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kbLnDZLF9
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhNtoeglnp
因此，我們解放了自己的憎恨。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxkHx7FMg0
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyploNwtvnu
不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE2F1qTTOO
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EktaG0UNJ
無數無辜的人死了。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvvwPsikQi
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy6zuJmzuZ
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB3RIOJLgd
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aLNMK6ElZ
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKCuKIrG3x
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vNSczzb4Q
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeXt1JkKqP
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGbgpTrrjl
「才會留下這樣的痕跡……」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR8KRIsZmM
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcBEbmzRAm
「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。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCTU1Rmfop
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbMvifE8VR
「不過依奴最後成功離開了這座城市對吧？」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgl0YJoSuy
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvxlvzoAQM
「我在邊境遊蕩了整整一個月，最後遇到了倫斯。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIEYVmSZoR
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgOr9qzvEF
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsD05FebC0
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lPKWMVFBO
「也就是傭兵？」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWODPm2dzD
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBASrmwFXP
「嗯，當時我覺得並沒有什麼不好。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0RZOHOXiy
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnpji2UWsn
應當說，他相當感謝倫斯給了他一條新的道路。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qvQ4mE07O
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAvI1Zzv5h
當生存的選擇從零變成一時，無論什麼人都會欣喜若狂吧。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv8TlkFqY7
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOutRYJdFda
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhq6R5Jaus
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzCN83R9hB
「但是，」赫恩的話音走到嘴邊，她踟躕地沉默了數秒。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsGmOdEK9Q
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGexjEz8RSd
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKN12C9fI9
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNzkxlBgJ6
那雙冷漠的眼眸中並不是毫無感情的。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh1GCXMjYB

「為什麼選擇回來呢？」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYemwg2UZcp

赫恩就像對著空氣探問般，輕盈地訴說：493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡselsCSYYDx
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4ud3lvbqC
「你為什麼回到曾經逃離的地方呢？」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcHRCdwRaZ

493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoWOR5gHtg
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5ISazLtsr

「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。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCn7bKWEhN
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA0ZhYT6wX
自由的意義在於──能夠由自己定義自己的價值。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTIixUip6q
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkJj8zZQjP
依奴所歸屬的『價值』，僅僅是與赫恩相遇。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGAwaJc7tf

「不……不行。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPNyhKW1nM
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ElDK9nAGB
赫恩搖了搖頭，沉下雙眸並且避開了依奴的視線。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aBACQ7sci
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFTPfBH4WG
「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。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx5cDL2IKy
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxCRr4kL1b
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDBtLajCFa
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AJBGLp8W4
拯救、回報、恩惠、生存價值之類的飄渺字眼，太過銳利了。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahy3bXxrPf
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP42c8OT9r8
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？493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71vX3FWeSZ
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe6gCEW60A
那些聲音，那些死亡。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6qdKWayG4
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepdmsT1kC0
她能夠擺脫那些混濁的過往，自私地追求自己的解放嗎？493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gtQnKbJ2q
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFwsHiTTHP
屬於「黑色聖夜」的真實只能有一個。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVNzBy5Cju
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N7ptDqwDG
那就是能夠永遠奪走人們笑容的，瘋狂且腐敗的慘劇。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXx8U3CZI8

「依奴，我是造成大家死亡的『災難』……」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwA6VhFvQs
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9NipCOV9B
赫恩搖晃著腦袋，濕潤的銀白色髮絲因此狼狽地搖晃。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPBAUjDhSN
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz6I1ClYrG
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28J9CbXGAO
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE2F2Vz2I0
現在衝擊著胸口的這種感覺，是感情嗎？493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oF0mpjQli
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1p4hvsx7Z
這就是恐懼嗎？493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEqhQH431b

493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKj7GYMt0I
她迷惘地低喃，無法理解如何啜泣的她，只能不停顫抖著。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0R3dyCnYO
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rX46QJv2h
「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……」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzFXLQUPNz
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyvXh0vYKC
「赫恩，看著我，我還活著！」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwi5dg0Qrh
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62RdQKBncn
她驚愕地抬起頭。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpfH4sTCih
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ7nmaBXSq
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmOdY0aQQ0
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4r8hrsvV7
「聽見了嗎，這個心跳聲？聽到血液撞擊心室的聲響了吧？」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fnxexIUi6
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM5JCj0bJ8
依奴低著頭，在赫恩耳際輕與呢喃：493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqML2gfbcF
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2zl466ozn
「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？」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EKgCnUySU
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTpYtCIgxT
「可是……」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJd8Ah4aK7
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w6DfhUU06
依奴將赫恩抱得更緊，令她無法喘息。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UCoM52kJv
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5kQJ5lIE7
「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！」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYvI4lvWMX
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt94bimeBNl
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4nG4JLlbB
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZdvbNqLSE
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYDzGkbjdD
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8bllx7tve
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：493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8igkHxutpG
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1XaTrUq4l
「依奴的胸膛……很溫暖。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruOhmXrEVv

「感受到了嗎？」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfdQ2o3cKx

「嗯，感受到了，活著的依奴，還有活著的我自己。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblDdSARYUO

所以，已經沒有問題了。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUpI8lfCjd
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOEUMMrfJ0
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQveP2Ya8IJ
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPEqYhs2Tg
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79RGBf07od
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXjxdvflje
不知過了多久，響起的細碎電子音才打斷了他們的沉默。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kFx98xvEs
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGLztJoiPC
掛在依奴腰際的通訊儀器發出了電碼的頻率。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNGOZjAGse
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl10vdB7Ym
依奴沒有任何動作，只是緊抱著赫恩，將那段訊息聽完。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0tSFjCojt
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ83chHfsD
同樣的頻率重複了兩次，在這之後，通訊儀器再次回歸死寂。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB32bP15nwW
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs91gdryi5

「戰爭終於要開始了，對吧。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PNJj6VOGq

面對懷中少女的提問，他一時間無法用任何言語應答。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePeE7tLHUw
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzkz6V7gOD
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9kXadJNj8
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCmgpoFqbu
「和我一起逃走吧。」他低喃著：493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcK2HrP8xw
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eotH17ptZ
「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。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v7ID68xgV

「地獄——」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa25Jag6wEW
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaWGvQYI5w
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHKrctFReT

閃過的畫面，只有譚雅那泫然欲泣的表情。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86eCfk6LT8

陌生的穿刺感痛擊了她的胸膛。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBZr9pL3tl

「依奴，請帶我回去吧。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiICZH1qCzx
