416Please respect copyright.PENANA8RSuPaXKgs
當然,史蒂夫不認為加布麗‧康薇爾會那麼輕易的接受他的這套說法,因為如這個女孩有腦子被B.S.A.A選上,那早就該注意到他哪裡不對勁,甚至在懷疑他。不過最神奇的是照剛才的對話來看,她並不覺得他是壞人,而且很樂意去跟自己這樣聊閒。416Please respect copyright.PENANAtIxVD4vZDX
416Please respect copyright.PENANAKGHfDPkWbg
她還告訴他自己是在這城市長大,這裡的人都很熱情,住在她隔離的大嬸逢星期二總會烤好一份曲奇餅送給她。416Please respect copyright.PENANALoNw7d2c8p
416Please respect copyright.PENANAc790VW2DsD
可悲的是,那個大嬸與及其他加布麗所認識的人都因為這場爆發變成了活死人。為了活命,她逼不得已要開槍爆它們的腦門。416Please respect copyright.PENANAttQLCZwATI
416Please respect copyright.PENANAMsE9EuynCq
聽着對方這些話,史蒂夫不由得想一件事,那麼她住在這裡的父母情況怎樣了? 他想問這問題的時候,心裡有另一把聲音叫他別問,因為那有可能是人家心裡的大傷疤;是說,加布麗倒真的是從頭到尾都沒提及到父母:「你一直都是一個人住嗎?」416Please respect copyright.PENANAcyhKv9vfaY
416Please respect copyright.PENANAYVJuKI9ahz
加布麗眨了一下眼睛,眼睛直看着史蒂夫:「嗯……是的,起碼這幾年是一個人過。為什麼忽然問這個呢?」416Please respect copyright.PENANAOxWFVEd6mE
416Please respect copyright.PENANAIDgaWj7Vw5
史蒂夫尷尬地搔了搔頭:「呃……怎說也好,事情發生了就是發生了,現在你該苦惱的是如何結束它。」416Please respect copyright.PENANAeNWnfQ8rzz
416Please respect copyright.PENANAxJShsg041U
「沒錯……你說得很對,何況那本來就是我的工作呢?」加布麗玩着她手上那印着熊貓臉的水杯。416Please respect copyright.PENANA5h0rj4Q8Rf
416Please respect copyright.PENANA0EDrBNQVlz
為了不讓這屋子引人注目,兩人用餐的時候並沒有開燈,他們只是從地下室裡拿出個大電筒,用白布包裹着它擺在餐桌上照明。在這樣的光線下看東西不算太清晰,可是史蒂夫還是注意到加布麗的雙眼泛紅,含着淚光;也許,她真的跟自己猜想的一樣,父母已經不在了。416Please respect copyright.PENANA8NkBghgFU4
416Please respect copyright.PENANADZK5FG9KOX
如果他再不轉移話題,這女孩搞不好會崩潰的:「我們待會輪流到主人房那裡洗個澡,然後你好好休息吧?」416Please respect copyright.PENANA9HhZMgCl1x
416Please respect copyright.PENANAjMe9ocnsox
「為什麼是『你』? 肖恩,那麼你自己呢?」416Please respect copyright.PENANApwr7dfj7cT
416Please respect copyright.PENANAcpFFG7nFhV
史蒂夫愣住了一下,他幾乎忘了自己現在的身份是肖恩:「我……在這裡看門。」416Please respect copyright.PENANAoxj6A4tOvR
416Please respect copyright.PENANAS9kYWPddNN
「不行,這太危險了。那些活死人跟B.O.W可是跟一般的生物不同,樓下還是由我來守着吧。」416Please respect copyright.PENANAISFcMBvR5j
416Please respect copyright.PENANAGeHwKMMb6P
「不不,你今天應該整天都沒休息過吧? 不好好休息的話可是會倒下來的哦?」416Please respect copyright.PENANAXmOjE2MDAl
416Please respect copyright.PENANAAHxfF0MchX
「可是——」416Please respect copyright.PENANAhPPkaY1ZOh
416Please respect copyright.PENANAWjUgrucwZq
「你今年幾歲?」416Please respect copyright.PENANAI81QehiDka
416Please respect copyright.PENANADDDLO4kdAu
「二十六。」416Please respect copyright.PENANAZfqwy0Wuny
416Please respect copyright.PENANAnFwOvoCpgN
「那就更加得聽肖恩哥哥的話了。」史蒂夫燦笑道,「洗完澡就乖乖的上床睡覺吧?」416Please respect copyright.PENANAaJvWhtfWar
416Please respect copyright.PENANAtV5BD8zECQ
他說完之後還輕輕的推了她一下。416Please respect copyright.PENANArEu35kaqES
416Please respect copyright.PENANAcOawga9PO6
說實在的史蒂夫說這番話的時候幾乎都不經大腦,是衝口而出的,因此沒有想過加布麗會不會不聽自己的話不上床睡覺。不過貌似「哥哥」這個字眼起了作用,加布麗沒有反駁他,在那之後便走進樓上主人房的浴室洗澡,換了一身新的衣服、把頭髮吹乾之後便上床準備睡覺,完全沒意思把看門的工作搶回來做。416Please respect copyright.PENANA9KEgcTX6Pt
416Please respect copyright.PENANA0UXI7ZJf2n
也是,看門本身就該由男人來幹的,有什麼好搶的。416Please respect copyright.PENANABwCZmVK9JM
416Please respect copyright.PENANAgMDQeEw3OY
說起年齡這回事,史蒂夫不怎覺得自己已步入三十,還覺得二十六歲的加布麗像是他姐姐,而且是那種很喜歡嘮叨人家的大姐姐,大概是因為有十五年的時間沒在世上活動過的關係;當然,他沒姐姐,呵呵。416Please respect copyright.PENANAedxiZuyYxH
416Please respect copyright.PENANA40uDItAjpD
在加布麗躺在床上後,史蒂夫也從主人房的衣櫃裡找出些衣服,以便自己洗完澡後換上。416Please respect copyright.PENANAygEF4Bjpwd
416Please respect copyright.PENANAdESHrkcmun
他步進浴室前從洗手盆上方的鏡子得知一件事,那就是艾歷‧威斯克在自己暈倒在實驗室之後給他理過髮——把他那頭快長至及肩的頭髮剪短了,並且略略改變了髮型;後腦勺的頭髮給「鏟」短了,兩側的頭髮則是被剪短、剪碎,像有被電過髮的樣子,髮尾微微往外翹,只要他用些定型水或髮泥隨意撥撥頭髮,就能弄出個很時髦而且清爽的髮型——416Please respect copyright.PENANAjQGpUXmHsB
416Please respect copyright.PENANACDBfikJaJD
嘿! 怎麼艾歷有這個心思給他幹這些?416Please respect copyright.PENANAVYFjUCpiu7
416Please respect copyright.PENANAW8NVrrQ3KX
純粹是因為艾歷那神經病般的思維是常人無法理解的關係嗎?416Please respect copyright.PENANAiIssiNLnlt
416Please respect copyright.PENANAbtn4qAnPIS
話說回來為什麼到加布麗剛才沒有問他槍傷的事情呢?416Please respect copyright.PENANAEfBryMUSnE
416Please respect copyright.PENANA2Fo3KLRKLd
女性的思考模式他簡直是無法理解。416Please respect copyright.PENANALeggXHYK2O
416Please respect copyright.PENANAflpBvGwkEd
現在他無法理解的事越堆越多,遲早他不是因為吃子彈而掛掉的,而是因為煩人事過多被氣到暴斃的。416Please respect copyright.PENANApobkzh4QLP
416Please respect copyright.PENANADEvL9KT1od
史蒂夫洗完澡後換上的是一件「V」字領的白色恤衫,恤衫左肩位置有黑紅色線條所構成藤蔓花紋圖案,以免着涼他也拿了件黑色的防風外套,但是他沒有穿上,暫時的把外套綁在腰間;而下半身他繼續穿着加布麗給他挑的悠閒褲,他討厭先前她給自己挑的悠閒服,但挺喜歡這褲子。416Please respect copyright.PENANAzL22nh0QsR
416Please respect copyright.PENANAGMu742LMGG
在他步出浴室的時候,躺在床上的加布麗還沒有睡着,她也貌似注意到他並不喜歡那件悠閒服而感到失落:「肖恩,你確定要一個人守在樓下嗎?」416Please respect copyright.PENANAyxTdedzWrO
416Please respect copyright.PENANACxigayGnqh
「嗯。也許對付那些怪胎我沒你厲害,但是有風吹草動叫救命的本事我應該不比你差。好好睡一覺? 加布麗。」416Please respect copyright.PENANAdrGyvUDSwm
416Please respect copyright.PENANAoLvPZrzhze
言罷,史蒂夫便離開了主人房,而他的腦袋不停在思考着件事,那就是加布麗為什麼信任他? 相信他不會對她怎麼樣呢? 替對方給自己治療的時候總該注意到他的傷口康復的速度有點異常,更應該注意到傷口的表面上有一層淡綠色的硬皮才對﹔加上散落在四周的屍體跟槍械,她應該能推敲出這場爆發的策劃人是自己。416Please respect copyright.PENANA7zkEjgvAhY
416Please respect copyright.PENANAxj4ATUajx3
然而用餐的時候,加布麗卻是用憐憫的目光看着他。416Please respect copyright.PENANA4pJbGSueLI
416Please respect copyright.PENANAq0lMW8rRYd
那眼神,跟當時的克萊兒很像。416Please respect copyright.PENANAflet4Vd8S2
416Please respect copyright.PENANARAOaiuEKOt
——史蒂夫,你在這地方幹些什麼? 是誰把你關在這裡? 你的家人呢?416Please respect copyright.PENANAuJyuEZ9M65
416Please respect copyright.PENANAlo8GjcZvcy
史蒂夫的腦海裡回播着克萊兒這段話,一種窩心的暖意就這樣侵佔他的心。416Please respect copyright.PENANA2UVuQB1tAs
416Please respect copyright.PENANA9IavhNxmHh
他原先以為沒有人會在意自己的過去,亦沒有人會關心自己為什麼會出現在那裡,因為他刻意地避開相關的話題,盡量讓自己看起來對這一切沒所謂的樣子……但最終克萊兒還是看穿了他,看穿他刻意隱瞞某些事情。416Please respect copyright.PENANAX0lmJU0KwZ
416Please respect copyright.PENANAyEcu6Tw4C7
「女生的直覺真可怕。」416Please respect copyright.PENANAHdiGknE5wu
416Please respect copyright.PENANAIPwwqtVFJH
那麼加布麗到底從他身上注意到什麼,才對他流露出憐憫的目光呢?416Please respect copyright.PENANAxwK4PZfQnF
416Please respect copyright.PENANAWdaQDdA5JY
怎麼說也好,加布麗對他毫無敵意這是事實。416Please respect copyright.PENANAXmt7rLKv4M
416Please respect copyright.PENANAWOkRvfi45T
史蒂夫期待之後的時間裡,加布麗能像克萊兒一樣會開口問他相關的問題,讓他不用再編寫謊言去隱藏那段黑暗的過去。416Please respect copyright.PENANANADr3Hib2o
416Please respect copyright.PENANAMDGIzLA9Mo
不過期待這碼事永遠只有失望的份,所以……呵呵,還是算了吧?416Please respect copyright.PENANAz4fRRWlsqQ
416Please respect copyright.PENANAPnbxri0Npv
自己還是乖乖的當好「肖恩」這個隱蔽青年好了。416Please respect copyright.PENANAorQ7uHZHbw
416Please respect copyright.PENANAYtimMjfMsp
史蒂夫走到屋子的下地室,搜搜看有沒有什麼可用的物資。416Please respect copyright.PENANAf2VuJpKu5P
416Please respect copyright.PENANAknuiNH3tW6
在一大堆的雜物裡,他找到了一條皮帶、一對半指的皮革手套、蝴蝶摺刀,他想都沒想就解下綁在腰間的外套,把外套穿在身上,然後把皮帶繫進褲子上,雙手戴上手套後把摺刀收進悠閒褲的袋子裡:「這家人還真藏了不少好東西。」416Please respect copyright.PENANAe7gMr4uJxp
416Please respect copyright.PENANARU0qO0Zl26
史蒂夫說着,邊對着空氣揮着拳頭、踢腳,自己玩夠了才停下來。416Please respect copyright.PENANA28Hltnsk9A
416Please respect copyright.PENANAvIW7fClaAj
「還有什麼東西能用呢?」他站在原處思考,在想自己還缺少些什麼物資,「啊,腰包跟槍套。」416Please respect copyright.PENANAuTcaEr5h3q
416Please respect copyright.PENANAu4PhS4vgPw
然後他再次翻動着下地室的紙箱跟雜物尋找着相關的物品,槍套沒找着,不過找到了一個褐色的皮革腰包,他把腰包扣在皮帶上。416Please respect copyright.PENANAxZHwfmdNtV
416Please respect copyright.PENANATjTvxCAbQq
史蒂夫回到客廳去,可是第一時間不是坐在沙發上發呆,而是跑到玄關的鞋櫃裡找靴子。對,他忘了要找雙方便他奔跑的鞋子。416Please respect copyright.PENANAmQZzlE7T7U
416Please respect copyright.PENANAq3RoVVnK9q
他從來都沒想過自己如此光明正大的「拿」人家東西用。416Please respect copyright.PENANAGFFt0VwSeB
416Please respect copyright.PENANAjmYL7eQSOm
要用的東西基本上都準備好了之後,史蒂夫哼着小調玩起了摺刀來。416Please respect copyright.PENANA91TboXbzKt
416Please respect copyright.PENANAYTxhi3TaZo
時間已經是凌晨四點,但他完全沒有睡意,精神得很:「總覺得自己忘了些什麼……是什麼呢?」他開始查看自己身上的裝備,良久才注意到自己遺忘了一樣相當重要的東西——那就是艾歷給他留下來的透明手機。416Please respect copyright.PENANAmkssGJQpT0
416Please respect copyright.PENANAEBKRiVNAk8
史蒂夫開始檢視這手機,這部先前能解開密碼鎖、能破解商場保安系統的神奇手機,現在已經變回一部普通的手機……認真地說起來也不普通,它可是從十五年前的一塊硬膠進化成沒按鍵的……強化玻璃;他人確實是在二零一四年嗎? 確實不是在電影廠的道具房裡嗎?416Please respect copyright.PENANA6q9bKotwCl
416Please respect copyright.PENANADemtlvBiOO
他撥弄着手機,唸着屏幕顯示出來的軟件名字:「瀏覽器、音樂播放器、收音機、電子郵箱、聊天室、新聞跟天氣預報……我呿,這是現代手機的基本配套嗎?」416Please respect copyright.PENANAcfpUFynRCY
416Please respect copyright.PENANAEjWLiaBESV
人倒沒怎進化成功,但是手機倒是進化了不少。416Please respect copyright.PENANAqITL7Uzjiq
416Please respect copyright.PENANAsi41GEQ4bO
他瞄看手機右上角的訊號條,訊號良好。416Please respect copyright.PENANAoPCh0LZnD8
416Please respect copyright.PENANANo0HqL5ush
為什麼不廢除這電話號呢?416Please respect copyright.PENANAYn6ndmqUvi
416Please respect copyright.PENANAXITsBWjioi
「艾歷‧威斯克,你目的究竟是什麼……」416Please respect copyright.PENANA9BHxcif4RF
416Please respect copyright.PENANAzdHyvRNrdP
史蒂夫望向窗外,腦海裡回播艾歷的某段話。416Please respect copyright.PENANAEAj6bUgXUU
416Please respect copyright.PENANAgrKR6BM2jH
——你不用太擔心我會對雷菲爾德小姐做些什麼,我從一開始就沒打她的主意。416Please respect copyright.PENANAzhUkuIkOWt
416Please respect copyright.PENANAuPix5OxEUd
一開始沒有,不代表後來沒有。416Please respect copyright.PENANA8j2mXcdCEV
416Please respect copyright.PENANAxwfLIvEM43
「艾歷,要是你敢打克萊兒的主意……我會用自己那隱藏着的野性擊潰你。」416Please respect copyright.PENANAVoQOhEYYyT
416Please respect copyright.PENANArves0aRqkS
史蒂夫把手機放回褲袋裡,他沒注意到自己那一瞬間的憤怒給身體帶來怎樣的變化。416Please respect copyright.PENANAI6YtZ6sXl9
416Please respect copyright.PENANA3Gx6igiWHR
416Please respect copyright.PENANAVU5tAKw7AK
416Please respect copyright.PENANALYkEzaM9OE

416Please respect copyright.PENANAV3nN1d9OBE
416Please respect copyright.PENANAyzawbwf99q
416Please respect copyright.PENANAkVwO9jbs3F
主人房傳出了電話鈴聲,但沒過多久電話就沒響了。416Please respect copyright.PENANAiRK5tdXMV8
416Please respect copyright.PENANAeGySccLiu8
史蒂夫回首望向通往上層的樓梯,但沒有意欲衝上去向加布麗追問,因為……他已經聽到了。416Please respect copyright.PENANAgTk5ULsFxj
416Please respect copyright.PENANASzhqE3qHvV
416Please respect copyright.PENANAkzuy1AxUQl
——他的外表特徵?416Please respect copyright.PENANASawPBG72pP
416Please respect copyright.PENANAh7KTKZdl4L
——男子,照他的口音聽起來像是美國人,約二至三十歲之間,紅髮。416Please respect copyright.PENANAvWqpLZmrCE
416Please respect copyright.PENANA5DvCtpTYpF
——加布麗,我能拜託你一件事嗎?416Please respect copyright.PENANA9VYYpKkuHt
416Please respect copyright.PENANAvRZEW0CNdm
——隊長請說。416Please respect copyright.PENANAB7E2dG5KnA
416Please respect copyright.PENANAfFBAOlG265
——請務必替我看好那個人,並把他護送回來。別讓他察覺到你的目的,因為這會讓他馬上離開你的視線範圍,你聽明白了嗎?416Please respect copyright.PENANAcZisJp2ONN
416Please respect copyright.PENANASZC7Qh3qsZ
416Please respect copyright.PENANAt08q8iLJh8
這個女孩,是一開始就在裝信任他嗎? 果然女孩們的心思男生是不會懂的。416Please respect copyright.PENANACvQIOY11dO
416Please respect copyright.PENANAJHHxVb5D6O
史蒂夫雙眼的焦點鎖定在樓梯口,他想走到主人房的門前等着她,看她發現自己一直站在門外時會流露出怎樣的表情。不過他最終沒有那麼做,因為在那之後有別的東西把他的注意力給引開了。416Please respect copyright.PENANAFfh4D8HyQK
416Please respect copyright.PENANACLNWqkw0k8
有什麼東西墜落在後花園裡了。416Please respect copyright.PENANAvecdlwS7qu
416Please respect copyright.PENANAPwxvzcFyrq
他隨即奔到後花園,然後發現有個小降落傘掛在花園的樹上,而傘下方綁着個鋁皮箱子。416Please respect copyright.PENANAFOug7ahho3
416Please respect copyright.PENANAvVBljFa9tp
一開始他有點猶豫是否該把那箱子給解下來,因為沒準裡頭裝的是一顆炸彈,但當史蒂夫看到箱子上頭的三位密碼鎖時,馬上就知道這東西是那個人送來的。416Please respect copyright.PENANAtMNJEfsQDa
416Please respect copyright.PENANAMBCn4MqWE9
同樣注意到有東西墜落在後花園的加布麗也趕來了:「肖恩,我看見有什麼東西掉下來了。」416Please respect copyright.PENANAe6MVfxqRCU
416Please respect copyright.PENANAxM9Ej9NMLc
但史蒂夫無視了她的存在。他冷靜地解開綑綁着箱子的繩子,然後慢條斯理地把箱子放在地上。416Please respect copyright.PENANAqkOA81fDxS
416Please respect copyright.PENANARcpLxHDZOX
「裡頭裝的是什麼?」416Please respect copyright.PENANAlnixMpg8L0
416Please respect copyright.PENANAof3t2EMRMK
史蒂夫看了一下加布麗,但是依然沒有理會她,只是在默默的撥動着密碼鎖。416Please respect copyright.PENANA1gsEA7Cs3E
416Please respect copyright.PENANAcx04pD0WlC
在他把數字調成*「267」的時候,鎖啪的一聲開了。416Please respect copyright.PENANAFXqzwBmOG4
416Please respect copyright.PENANAx7p4WpuHQY
箱子裡裝的,一把型號看起來有點古舊、用黃金打造而成的小號霰彈槍與及專屬槍套。槍的表面上還有些特殊藤蔓的花紋,那些花紋跟槍身不同,它們是用銀來打造的;那些銀色的藤蔓牢牢纏住槍柄並伸展到槍口位置……簡單來說,它漂亮得像博物館裡的藏品。416Please respect copyright.PENANAHk7XOgBE3i
416Please respect copyright.PENANAghWfAPS6GC
看着它,史蒂夫就想起當年在艾斯福特大宅裡找到的那兩把黃金魯格。416Please respect copyright.PENANAtPorbNBcg6
416Please respect copyright.PENANAg84P2Pn9mQ
那麼說——416Please respect copyright.PENANAC9fq3QKQsH
416Please respect copyright.PENANAEBgSFHkrqB
艾歷知道他曾經用過那兩把黃金魯格?416Please respect copyright.PENANATKEiQWY5Hh
416Please respect copyright.PENANAJzx4Q5woJI
史蒂夫拿起黃金霰彈槍:「他不可能知道的……」416Please respect copyright.PENANAJAjf4IjXQl
416Please respect copyright.PENANApsEl0Yfjy0
一直站在他身後的加布麗拿起了擺放在槍套下方的便條唸了起來:「給S‧B: 去*『埋葬』你的過去。」唸完,加布麗把便條紙塞進他防風衣的口袋裡,「肖恩,別告訴我你是政府派來的特工。」416Please respect copyright.PENANAOLUQ69i955
416Please respect copyright.PENANAocS56CzWhy
他藍綠色的雙眼對上對方那褐色的眼睛。416Please respect copyright.PENANA3a8rHoopBJ
416Please respect copyright.PENANALYmkMWcuo5
「我只能說——」416Please respect copyright.PENANAprSnhoHzuA
416Please respect copyright.PENANA3XH2efIzkd
「說?」416Please respect copyright.PENANAsojdeepVWd
416Please respect copyright.PENANARS1yKf86st
「趴下!」416Please respect copyright.PENANAAHqxVhqp4M
416Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1DR0y3asl
他舉起黃金霰彈槍,往加布麗的身後開了一槍。
*267: 這是官方遊戲中《聖女密碼》裡史蒂夫的囚犯編號。416Please respect copyright.PENANAI9Ne139V3G
416Please respect copyright.PENANAVpi5JPRKhK
*「埋葬」: 是出自官方手機遊戲《Clan Master》裡的武器,名字為「埋葬」。整把槍的設計跟原作《聖女密碼》中通關及可使用的黃金魯格類近,然而《聖女》中那套黃金魯格的名字為「沉默」。(已經忘了自己在哪得查得的內容,但是記得此名的原因是,要是拿了這兩把魯格,就會啟動所在空間的機關,令困在裡面的人永遠「沉默」。P.S. 如無意外也是在那手遊裡得知的。)
