這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLP98X50gL
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVQLsCfs4v
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloHVb9T0gG
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjoAhYk0bw
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkFa2zvJs5
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P32TiB7TR
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxKMP7LgRG
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43Y8wbyYQY
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2gStj8wUO
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGabbkzVU2W
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddUPh1Q2FZ

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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhpgYTgDEi
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONWWHf28Jf
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT2ksIPa7Y
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbQt44gIKV
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJSWcnjasH
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2Ve0hEyQ0
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJqzfT9tNM
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAef0OVkRaz
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KnLzDgPdK

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q9p3r7E8O
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE63A465gP
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShHh76j8py
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxgtIrp6IS
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI4ZEU7IHA
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd96JdHgNYs
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fi6FzimXc
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFrlBrIT2J
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2kk7laY89
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXksASiw0xZ
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDggYpo2Ca
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnxYvdKjK1
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1ag5FDTb5
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7jTr72nmH
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeFlXfIxD8
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uborWHxjp
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePrMCCpPew
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa1ipMHtZB
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8sCYWLff4
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE5QpM1dtM
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4Xl6ezaTp
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3EfcZ1Jyt
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxWQabZGHs
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN5rVxqCoA
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPE81wpZ4oB
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIokWS4PdYW
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyRDtIUQGr
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6jAtLlymS
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqXjeZkRoA
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaGSsFWCV4
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWW793nnuA
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoFP9gjzbT
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I8rBaF2Px
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9cMQa3Xl8
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePisnhIEut
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtuePevTbE
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──418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6UwEL3fLb
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb4dCc5BAA
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXQHukQPZv
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSPphjZBPY
「唔嗚！」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc58Lj64oh
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo2cVosCfi
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKVcXNiy9k
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cDAjxqQgx
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvWFtWCuY2
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIb1NBabYN
「依奴！」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFguCRZF7r
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C4uF0m19X
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt06E1YwXIH
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1zTwkDHFX
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzWUiNvnR8
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKxXGDm0Su
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxnW6BfaPm
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9n0ZBuaIj
「依奴──」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkGVDRph4j
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5NIYJr2AN
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zumj4xRKE
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFe9roHZhK
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8DsyxDImQ
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRxgvohRqq
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXb54Kdq6s
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl1thnMkPd
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovjLwQWcfy
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7HVpFwzPG
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiMqk912WS
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcfcKdHHyZ
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1sn1syKKx
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J9J1HgUjS
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ3xhd5YM3
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKs4tvXfsS
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dMe1QFIdW
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusA4S8g2Nq
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaTkq2hwVo
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaeQWZpihU
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ97a7JCwEO
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9mzSzq3Ap
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt3xlwHSQr
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRf8OFvyXl
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcQjAOvAdc
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctrYDIxsoe
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX4oZUkET0
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4txAXkiRdk
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0SUFg8im1
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h6PweyB6v
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqLYAiLWpD
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y9hFQd1b6
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiYtnUZBnI
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw51BGthEvE
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO22lgMZPcK
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuREYHLt7ez
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEvdMiTesG
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vaI6kpFXn
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYof82nmbbc
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv2fKhQsD1
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzBjcsXLj4
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvO9BOYcxj
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejW2wbwLfJ
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWIYVnj9rm
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB6ZXiqDGg
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eeTuvOjgd
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsRVp8KbC4
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsBA7ta9mi
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6kNWFoJ3F
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y5uNaCSnN
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRVBHKp4yz
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJPyqHx8jm
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyc5zEHYaS
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4blFxWtqn9
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9GUeKJA7b
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAbX7cmzdz
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw53kJWbYO
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSmGUzn9L0
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbutk3a5LU
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWOHvkI6Y6
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqha0fRRlD
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSpmb8QJVy
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjymXPqU0Ao
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukqSHbG5h7
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gec3wCDKl
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojT7zB1fre
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AC3etMHZD
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ0vs5EDwf
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSlHSzxacD
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhq4uTU20b
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVzvl8S8mZ
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl3KJHEKvQ
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomX5P2YmBl
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowMXvv1VRo
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn4NYoLCjO
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLfbXLPUoE
「我早就習慣了。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrsqp43yUO
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdDn4GsMJS
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoai9S7kZd
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn0gqLfVJn
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi711UidIE
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZv400ml1h
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKC65nqrAm
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fdMLpNc5y
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eCLzmLvqI
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZKZ0pDEew
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqrTZD4O7w
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF9CiBY2uj
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepxkxrRnhK
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNAIonRnTh
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF5mPfKuGm
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvgsoRWxM6
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBsi7ZLZOz
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2hip9k86W
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AUmthGALx
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05jxDDNeJS
「這裡是？」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94tEEkhEL8
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sIKdANa4T
「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。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdgMro1Jhg
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk55QFnO67H
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TJE6Ypnc3
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5ZqNVzE0t
「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。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmriIhf4qu9
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHihbB6AiS
依奴指了指身後的醫院：418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJiugbFzIh
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J0R78sLLF
「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。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMecVUtGmLC
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4oLMUtSsv
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBe9zbdwoB
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DrmaU1hJD
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO1OPXkn63
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgZYRaVsaA
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gXwp3nNRo
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmHXfWW4T6
「不可以嗎？」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3puv30wdSi
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG54P1SFpy
「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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2WQgezHCc
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTREhmlFgHb
「把杯蓋給我。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44AYuuJ7cB
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c2WnQ6cUP
「就讓我握一下吧。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFApKLwJv8v
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwtwoumKNB
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifl8MVmekW
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m6QPsGXaD
「依奴。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbYc8GhQDG
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqhplNBmTs
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3cGVI9dqp
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHuGgVGNfl
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1rQnClmJT
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn7JNcAM1Q
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kfl84HZBu
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeEBrMAzCD
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2TdzK9mYI
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uaUTZnE4T
「溫度回來了。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzqS39Q0Ov
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KNJs5v3x3
「好了嗎？」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVpE2oKEpS
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjgJnO5WXs
「再稍微這樣一下子。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJsLzcYkM8
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqpOcgXnaQ
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj41EWn7LMi
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1jmbWypRF
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc4h5unrAR
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCEf0iMntz
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──418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEuaZB5YoH
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SuxYjJjor
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmKsiiDnk2
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCkCTfWAR8
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL42ENMaKMM
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidMph5L12I
「喂。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQP6JNtuM4
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f4REHeM2E
「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？」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavz0EplvsA
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4de8CPRZS
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oPS1qSDUV
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQggvGgxid6
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtstI2x2bKO

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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sRpkZzpU9
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIpUQCKGTo
依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SFnUhcGyr
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0123VNNkB
玻璃碎塊零落地四散一地，在積滿灰塵地地面上刮出痕跡。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaD4gmnmmc
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk3o74iOju
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ00CM1m9v
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUhW7xnMx8

「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。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA0RmUjLwN

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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp0vQULjT4
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYc7LhlV7t
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hC8EeiNDp
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEZRrwlBoQ
「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YMUPZH9IT

「而且，也根本無從整理起呢。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIBfwsbUdP

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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOC3Q7toYB
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGy5F8C5bP
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ3oGHjptJ
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWXMNRial8
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINnSECzY6a
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRuLQh8wWt
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0V2g2q6cf
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoh3afDKVc
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIUBGX3nve
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RevnOxsvM
赫恩想像著，體會著當時人們的惶恐、絕望。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYd5tvlGof

兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJumj9akmrv
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCxgCy106b
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHJvRwTJsX
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGH30dGo9T
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOYnoJvXJf
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVN2LEYWPt
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkW9h9qV0s
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGMcMRURxe
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」。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClHSCDVEYT

崩落的牆面、散落的磁磚、暴露的鋼筋。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYxo7v12Xu

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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qDOWuBcFp
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylcnP3R2i3
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylLuF4063c
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQFjZdRRRR
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx0qXAfgjV
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M3hwboutK

418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKazKftLSg
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMdmLSNto6

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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92srxMveW8

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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuMi4vFFVm

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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VFVMhGQ6Z

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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4JkpZCGiZ
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7RP2EvPMo
「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。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzUgAQQICq

說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8ZRdehIKc
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ2Vd4I5AU
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwhBd6QsTU

「胸口被子彈貫穿的經驗，我倒是紮紮實實地體驗了一次。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0x0j4bPmN
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PhdrT4lLS
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTsXRInxmb

下一次面臨死亡的感覺時，就再也睜不開眼睛了。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c7fXFbt8e
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsKuKon7HD
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneEm8UpEUT
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGb0hX5yYv
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K9cspLKHd
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXdcU5T1jm
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqUJ6zGxYF

他們是那段黑歷史的最後根據。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw9HbfVHBy

此刻連同馴狗人的研究場一同埋葬了。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQRoQ9mNJb

赫恩若有所思地凝視著無人的街道。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOziC6sdxq

「或許有那麼一點吧，在妳身上找到『自己的投影』。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxbD9figqr
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfRvAlvJWg
依奴低垂著頭，淡淡地說：418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQRWRovENB

「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。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkkStshQRv

「我很感謝『黑色聖夜』。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I2BjDxu0Y
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHyoJBvxFR
赫恩對於依奴的發言，露出了疑惑的表情。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cwzBZIBGW
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPzcUJQNYN
「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。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pISSSvzno

不，正確來說，尚年幼的我們無法拿捏分寸。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4eXcqhW3R
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DPwdTntdr
我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkC9gRS4Zj
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqALSet0sWl
因此，我們解放了自己的憎恨。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jublCC3Zm

不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSUPUPurGN

無數無辜的人死了。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlASZeQr7cI
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IZ74twl7n
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfz1izdwHl
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTjfNXBWGT
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx8ZWj42xK

「才會留下這樣的痕跡……」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIf05EHTLH

418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1OH4U9v3U
「不過依奴最後成功離開了這座城市對吧？」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfyWH90Ow6

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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheTBHQb4g3

「但是，」赫恩的話音走到嘴邊，她踟躕地沉默了數秒。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVlv5sbGX4

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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNlJyHUSVP

「你為什麼回到曾經逃離的地方呢？」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m80MLIH5y

那些聲音，那些死亡。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51cusoLpsJ

屬於「黑色聖夜」的真實只能有一個。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0NT4nSBTW

418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y62zZXC5G

依奴低著頭，在赫恩耳際輕與呢喃：418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANzjvcWWi1
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk7Nx6MvLZ
「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？」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0Y9ucTb9q

依奴將赫恩抱得更緊，令她無法喘息。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTT5Fsepg0
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz3CAPNQu1
「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！」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r5OaPG5cG
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG1li8pv2q

418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaJAeNkyLY
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzHKN3tSB3
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnhaz1cdrV
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：418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCD0v13ZSi
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbocLW2eugC
「依奴的胸膛……很溫暖。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuQGRutAaV

所以，已經沒有問題了。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU4mublqS8

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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRhQPs3Yci
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc6hQqFjgm
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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwscct6XtK7

掛在依奴腰際的通訊儀器發出了電碼的頻率。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXQTex689H

依奴沒有任何動作，只是緊抱著赫恩，將那段訊息聽完。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oG76gWaDe

同樣的頻率重複了兩次，在這之後，通訊儀器再次回歸死寂。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14AqvltsvG

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。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0RmzhVq45
