這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtA22m2OyV
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvt9drbP0J
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOjDkU3Yzd
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzfEecZ86c
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CdRzKTHDa
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHA3DFyg5P
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a3UBRhX89
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu924zpz9vy
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ4IuUzHVm
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryK0fOSMZ1
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiqzkmaB4i
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxBvUwxFlE
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU8rJenxXE
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JcsecTPBp
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ081yUj41jL
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoBSj2xt2b
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjybaKIFA1V
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n1c63BfDp
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y7O1MDjh2
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujFttSKvCT
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfl49veNzK

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjmrkUSi3W
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC4kGxSDxo
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK1EArnKxa
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJt7URURql
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBURD2Tgvx
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5yqXF0WlJ
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4qZVRKCcC
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP30iJKFtfC
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXBalvkM2x
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ecx4tzBWl
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAukzd5FJEl
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKwkgfll7r
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ou9EBnrmc
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DWmy7f3Q6
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENNqws2I0J
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKYGw7gP1Z
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLMYP8cglA
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaisYCSxo4T
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThlmjWCji3
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLuFDzO9U5
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHoaGxqgfv
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnWafTBDhJ
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGjuYgYzp0
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTPYdlrLOf
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmvc4teOWp
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnZgVLCgtW
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvVlPMTJzF
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwPpnCVQMI
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VzdtMylpc
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdsMlsNxuY
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoG2VyZKhm
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHWeI8Qa9x
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvu4BjPFgR
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKKajHZ5c6
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GMKpYQxfb
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYbo0ANvSC
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──457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdviq4AODBd
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NJWkXYDFa
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lC9mfX98w
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCdGPgNZdl
「唔嗚！」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCENS3JeF4w
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQOKgIcrOo
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAMBSy96hn
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEkloEIU2d
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd6vngxFYb
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMEql8QeGv
「依奴！」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEXqr9oVVb
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDVvzytzYi
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaTwiL8WMZ
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqqPxwYbnf
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm5FOVt8Ui
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8YbuwdFUr
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUGg0xhH8w
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryhWC1E5mh
「依奴──」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGzEdxT9Al
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJOZag6vhK
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtW9lpMpce
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba9yHJtaCG
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoN6zUwp8r
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHwruEUft0
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwLwseWiln
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHo1CaIpe4
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHzormkg2G
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DPjGWeeuW
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZXE5jDijt
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVEXFe8TE5
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFI4JE5dle
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47QQS3QR7s
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmOLzr5P7U
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsBy8YBkzv
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzWyNiNWiv
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFCxvunSX7
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdjOgrcEVe
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78ZmLognsK
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmCXdELHT3
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU5sqjAU6h
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD3MAWDZ0M
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61Bc523BgA
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ101yo2A34q
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwLES82XxN
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9g67JtZjs
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYILs3ug8Qq
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fBGZUWCiA
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgASGF26tU
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rHIXFYodX
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5cSASq9rl
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzrcNADTq7
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4ivUq64g0
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuDQj1GoIN
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGX3G2uuo3
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoBZ6swItx
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVJxSleH3B
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHQcsRsEjh
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOx92Xini1
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOCPlyeJYI
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwzFOOZUFl
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcQJdKNrPB
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY2V2akEwg
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuKXFzo6hk
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHvvqeHdFc
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivV1flJFHZ
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJQ3jW74e7
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcahjTiAK9
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYBnjKzFCp
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93THfkI04t
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BJ2QJdB0z
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeizX71008S
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSPxg2PDNR
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TjfLLMVX5
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIh19vMb9s
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kJD725T2g
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9QXvTwwfm
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYc9nvVRhi
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEctdCAgjz
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq6XqkmW69
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04zF9xtH8H
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZte5smpPU5
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WL0tORuLT
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLhX9CjTTW
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhsfyq1hBp
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3PHt9SfOZ
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EheWvR4Sq
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzhtSBnDD0
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8bEzR9z7U
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykyZoddIof
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbwVSEf4Ia
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pfdyed4A8
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXcniWCCOq
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lFW6wfGXt
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhFNyPlrUC
「我早就習慣了。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW4z34vzLv
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrRAjUha6J
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMze9Asl9c
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvajN34mr7
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jQWtWhz4t
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy457vwY2c
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKvsMAlSXw
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA8Z2sYV1y
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZLuhof1yu
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HGFoIjqsw
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbhGHgZqex
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziKQQRt3Kp
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAUfWUQ2na
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R4JC9d7lO
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AkqSArVV9
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJkSBLUP2p
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq7q46ZyWo
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpxBvCChSv
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH8K6aGBdt
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSGKviYzTy
「這裡是？」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgueclwo1m
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26P5YsP5GN
「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。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD6H9HTGyn
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk7QSgnBfJ
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeWlKH0D9P
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8pnUCYuIT
「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。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05CVyOgtZi
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzazjXN2ro
依奴指了指身後的醫院：457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKFday4Y4Q
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SDVI9WshI
「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。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmeWCabDk2
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aokoVHlC5
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77Aur5Fzkk
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwq5OZgia0
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXgEft5OLo
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jg7heGVUF
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR7nOc5NZh
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY08otvbpwh
「不可以嗎？」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW1iwvTIH1
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrB8jLVq2s
「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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC6bC3mf8W
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlDx8FmU8L
「把杯蓋給我。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyGYQYiL3i
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oBmWA1jPs
「就讓我握一下吧。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2qObvVbU1
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9c8vz4AV5
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSvrcuYalX
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIDflgbHN4
「依奴。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN55V1krja0
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNTAl0Yf3X
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2JYQi9sKt
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJHdKtpjFl
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJGqAzHdhY
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oEQsYuiIf
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfys4fPcrW
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjKoVm4f6Y
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOvJcMohcY
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJCbpwKHHo
「溫度回來了。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhg2AXuN9M
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOarlA1vRa
「好了嗎？」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjC0MOp53w
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8loCEXsio
「再稍微這樣一下子。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJW5BRH1gQ
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDTyLmnvWM
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAtbivliHs
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq6JZPOVlY
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgZjJogNNw
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn6H2EuyUm
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──457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsvAqprILv
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs94fNSMs7
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeARvQEDLS
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq42A4I7tP
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnwdupbNMU
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JTUBZfYT4
「喂。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGt12JYI9a
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUMVdu8ojw
「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？」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DwwHl1DjJ
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4OB5WtQOY
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hxzHR3EYp
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdGpQ77OY0
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJFDZmuiJg

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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13rOvCFlt8
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ945c4ww5iH
依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTzOaTyJNG
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnyD4b42ti
玻璃碎塊零落地四散一地，在積滿灰塵地地面上刮出痕跡。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLc930VVRt
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh58gUiNxQw
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMC5dos2mW
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpImq6Drty
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwBW0wt9Ms
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbDcLJcJUV
「依奴，為什麼要來這裡？」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclbos1pByq
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHstSfGuG7g
「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。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ6Mz4kR81
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKOqgtEOrA
「旭夜為什麼特別選了這間醫院當倉庫？」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphStzpX1fg
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAMsvqpE1A

「跟上來。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f8xYGtIhv
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7qi3kHlij
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYracRQhMTR
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86iO34jkMg
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03W8svdPZK
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxV4buqbr8
「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpp0QeFOa0T
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKMIQwaDk4
依奴用平淡的口氣說：457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK8K0lcLXZ
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngOXqvPAVl
「而且，也根本無從整理起呢。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxsNffseHm
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvBP1cfMkX
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TZDajJFb5
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UtTzAdKL2
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjogMtKFtXp
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwooGp3u9n
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd97c9A3ADn
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8HPebfDOH
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOqm2JJbNB
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH2rRLkWc8
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQOukG1bgY
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNiCMFgrkn
赫恩想像著，體會著當時人們的惶恐、絕望。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0JrTslz5U
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uUsSCasng
兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uUOTarfop
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKeNZ5Q50Q
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2SxlCYlVl
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMudIwODvWI
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBF2w8vm8V
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rF3YjCRlX
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwniBmEoqS
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDjYbxIypS
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」。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9PTpODzhF
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFRrpr0JOC
崩落的牆面、散落的磁磚、暴露的鋼筋。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv1iI1JKkZ
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWstYbbzabb
被機關槍掃過一遍又一遍，坑洞遍布的地面。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNWQ9wsBoD

以及遺骨。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ozDM0WAFx

徒留下形狀，散落於各處，無人為其收拾的、人的死骸。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EphwlLhYj
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GJL3i4NYX
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLN40xVQZJ
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdhyK2RZAD
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MTTSiT5Bq
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5YUPeugtq
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuRfI1dK3o
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr74gID2P2y
但為什麼要在這樣的地方作戰？甚至還用這麼重的手段？457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQLDP77r69
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDNurIRPem
「依奴？」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaaulAjx9U

依奴說著，站到大廳的正中央。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgNdD5u0WS
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXWCQlNLm0
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCngg5xIkl
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc9nJLslif
「最後的最後，我們也只殘留下了這點痕跡嗎。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjUr0Srocr

「庫奇總是走在最前面，最後也死在最靠近門口的位置。還有捨身替象牙擋下了子彈而死去的瑟拉芬。我們之中年紀最大的奧德，他的軍犬席丹。還有潔莉和狼犬水銀。盧瑟是躲在櫃台後面時被打死的，在我身邊倒下的骸還有格里、坎特……」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz3fD96dVk

「沒錯，」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH4FkItQfd
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0NBhx2Kqp
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：457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K6cFfNFTp

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQclFh4sqNx
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCF1kChHoW
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxEZyXzQ2L

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0PhiJNWVY
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXllGu5jmQO

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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqvSsEvcvf

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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg46bWnXYHm
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb5uGRwHlC
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RrTcXic0W
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC7SuO5WvD
「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。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdMI9G9dnq

「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。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V0jyNvboG
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXmTICK3Jn
說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hZEgBoXE5
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ7I3ksB44
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwE6shH8XT

「胸口被子彈貫穿的經驗，我倒是紮紮實實地體驗了一次。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eogR2QbY6
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ob2jh1yjO
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIPfSKjPGy

下一次面臨死亡的感覺時，就再也睜不開眼睛了。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGCjPBjrX2
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjsCkuYA7a
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4hpcj5ygf
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFwaxIdPxz
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGSlJvwxj1
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXzridwIeu
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7DMO5j6hc
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fy73RLGRZ
他們是那段黑歷史的最後根據。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciN05ON8v1

此刻連同馴狗人的研究場一同埋葬了。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HySR4d5sd

赫恩若有所思地凝視著無人的街道。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JHvGiuILJ
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7DjAxwcxF
「或許有那麼一點吧，在妳身上找到『自己的投影』。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM5VoRgjeX
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFbYk67c9L
依奴低垂著頭，淡淡地說：457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYiyMBN2mU
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSXozYpBK6
「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。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eAtQjx2HR

「依奴當時是怎麼逃出來的呢？」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns1ilCroJ1
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEMKAXs7Av
「我很感謝『黑色聖夜』。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4enNzqxUo
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w9W0rUAhU
赫恩對於依奴的發言，露出了疑惑的表情。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bYEe1OXw7
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xB1faU4xi
「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。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUOoXWLaUG

最後，用炸藥在醫院的地板上製造了通道。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl96DKWplM

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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvutZ7qWhe
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeTVkxLzNL
不，正確來說，尚年幼的我們無法拿捏分寸。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFLNMFz1Y9
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiok2B5E5r
我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu6lhnJd9Q
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5AHhAjG7l
因此，我們解放了自己的憎恨。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCTc0WotLj
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy31es1k3QJ
不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw1EiyTlOC

無數無辜的人死了。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9P4ZgIYH7
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwDpkF891j
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SGE5b7yEg
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkb09DsuWu
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbXuFWyXDr

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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl440p0sYEp

「才會留下這樣的痕跡……」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7G2uNqodp
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH8uZODDZz
「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。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXLxn0J9uV
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeezkcyPK3W
「不過依奴最後成功離開了這座城市對吧？」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGc1s4gkHT

「我在邊境遊蕩了整整一個月，最後遇到了倫斯。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EXOgNN8Oz
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv5rqyi9LK
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWpE6tvT6Y
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DecqpvPR6
「也就是傭兵？」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlToVeeD2z

「嗯，當時我覺得並沒有什麼不好。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ1hrNv35E

應當說，他相當感謝倫斯給了他一條新的道路。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiD7pBLXPO

當生存的選擇從零變成一時，無論什麼人都會欣喜若狂吧。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsElpocgyC
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkcdVBFrRk
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb6LctB7mP
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ6kFomThL
「但是，」赫恩的話音走到嘴邊，她踟躕地沉默了數秒。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxI9fcPXOa
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhiwXflcN1
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbTGwtJs06

「你為什麼回到曾經逃離的地方呢？」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXccpBFYH6

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx1KX5DLiZ

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbiS1RqZdH
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？457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3mS6imcKa

那些聲音，那些死亡。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JAxXOuPYf

她能夠擺脫那些混濁的過往，自私地追求自己的解放嗎？457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXH9wSPS6t

屬於「黑色聖夜」的真實只能有一個。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhba4kLGWOU

「依奴，我是造成大家死亡的『災難』……」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AKJk8D98Q

赫恩搖晃著腦袋，濕潤的銀白色髮絲因此狼狽地搖晃。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho6qVITbJm
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4ZiGymCAR
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp7xDo835M
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIExgW7oRx
現在衝擊著胸口的這種感覺，是感情嗎？457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDvzvoFu2k

她迷惘地低喃，無法理解如何啜泣的她，只能不停顫抖著。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgPndTGlzC
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7Jv3bZtXx
「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……」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9N9ikrmG1

她驚愕地抬起頭。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGf2HpavUW
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCG7miJanr
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iEjLZM9Iq
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA3g7RSCPU
「聽見了嗎，這個心跳聲？聽到血液撞擊心室的聲響了吧？」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gkd8cylaA
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0kkMbeUfB
依奴低著頭，在赫恩耳際輕與呢喃：457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4Vj8FOT0U
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFZccs8BRV
「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？」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqm4OosocU
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzDBw4g2du
「可是……」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV7o8LjZxo

依奴將赫恩抱得更緊，令她無法喘息。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAERsljWXq
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zDQiUg56E
「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！」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvjUIg1bLL
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiJFwsevgv
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIoWVo7SWe
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVRzNMMixW
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6S8lV6Hd8
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q7hX2KIKo
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：457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcp4GyntF7
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZg7VO4DQ5
「依奴的胸膛……很溫暖。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDVFdHENVo

「嗯，感受到了，活著的依奴，還有活著的我自己。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOXop6Dy2p

所以，已經沒有問題了。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaRJivn0Qf
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhAuR7LBpE
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFUqNA9RGm
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj5FupDdVu
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSFzvmPL9x
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5b5Pgikdx
不知過了多久，響起的細碎電子音才打斷了他們的沉默。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS79UYQ8qNT
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDeBtFnKM1
掛在依奴腰際的通訊儀器發出了電碼的頻率。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdBaETF6nl
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK9JTZnaAK
依奴沒有任何動作，只是緊抱著赫恩，將那段訊息聽完。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4fegFIvJL
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDfzSHV4mr
同樣的頻率重複了兩次，在這之後，通訊儀器再次回歸死寂。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlpUdFNztZ

面對懷中少女的提問，他一時間無法用任何言語應答。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTBBpvfDpK
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawCXjgaDac
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9PznnTRXA

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPUR4bzGx4
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。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGMpd6TBI9
