香港，某私家醫院的私人病房中。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMDvcpD2ko
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SggWCunew
這時候，私人病房內正上演著一場豪門爭產，三姊弟反目成仇的精彩戲碼。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM12sE3M4Et

潔白病塌上的躺了一個正在安睡的花髮老翁。若不是床頭的心率機顯示的心電圖仍有波紋，大概以為他已經死掉。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmQcnrK2c2
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpINaSBO3JJ
陳啟光，已經七十有三。他是香港地產界的老行尊，全港富豪榜的頭三名，更是多間建立多間孤兒院的善長人翁。他白手起家，擁有神一樣的經商技巧。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv6L46lDTg
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS6KX6RJq9
盡管如此，人類不是永垂不朽的神明，注定敵不過生老病死。陳啟光病重，需要動心臟手術。由於陳啟光年事已高，即使已經找來醫術高明的醫生，存活機會依然相當渺茫。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmv5k6hdJg
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOPN0cBPWx
在家人的苦口婆心的勸說下，陳啟光接受了動心術的建議。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKPTUXjqa4

小時候的聖誕節，這三姊弟滿心童真，曾經一起蹲在窗邊，烏黑的眼晴從狹小的窗戶窺探繁星，祈求聖誕老公公騎著鹿車出現，然後爬進來送他們鐵皮公仔和洋娃娃。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHBPoLL1X2

打開紙箱，裡面放了幾件玩具，一個「鐵人廿八」鐵皮公仔，一個「幪面超人一號」面具和一個椰菜娃娃，墊底的還有幾張泛黄，用畫紙摺成的聖誕卡。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUtAIcqMrB

「這些玩具是他們小時候的聖誕禮物。想當年我還扮過聖誕老人逗他們開心呢！父母和孩子是贈予和回饋的關係。我買他們喜歡的玩具，他們的聖誕咭是我的回報。」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoudtSYIYX8

「當然，我是一個商人。假如我買一件玩具花幾百塊，那他們一張聖誕咭就值一千塊，至於他們的笑聲嘛，每聲當一百塊好啦。雖然他們長大後就沒有再歡笑過，但說到底我這個父親還是賺了。」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoz4JHEiCX

奧托蘭姆的藏書廳位於學院南塔的頂層，挑高十米，分成兩個樓層，大拱頂玻璃天花讓天空的自然光灑下，使它看起來格外典雅。圓形大廳擺放一張張長桌椅，高不見頂的書架包圍大廳，扇形的排列和密密麻麻的書海井井有條。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uxCx6pzYC

永遠保持客觀，不能在接觸目標的過程中使其惡化。這是身為靈魂駭客的第一條戒律，亦是最重要的戒律。每個職業都有自己的禁忌，道理就像做殺手不能出賣委託人，混黑道不能勾二嫂。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwRyQY5hrf

入侵陳啟光靈魂的心魔名為壽妖，屬於D級心魔，特別喜歡患重病或絕症，像陳啟光這種病人。他們像寄生蟲般榨取宿主的生命力，同時使宿主的求生意志消沉，有的宿主更因此想歪，在疾病的折磨下自尋短見。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw0UOcDa4a

壽妖在眾魔中實力不強，亦不會在宿主身體具象化，使其變成魔物。可是，在靈魂迷宮吸取生命力後的壽妖實力倍增，而宿主求生意志愈低，他們的力量愈強大，死纏心之時計不放，是調整師頭痛不已的心魔。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuutG2Bar1D

「反正我除了白雪之外沒有家人。」黃嘉明苦笑。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXUrSGqWFT
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBHAuodafp
「真的嗎？」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QIh9MxlS9
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2USA6xdWm
黃嘉明移開視線：「當然。」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ624x0M1dO5
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkrnNaU5K6
「好吧。在找甚麼？有院長可以幫忙的事嗎？」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2HGEGFf2N
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk2CMHWXyN
「我在找關於『調整術』還有魂器的資料⋯⋯」黃嘉明含糊其詞。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKdKJ71IYL
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡongUWgGjvH
「『調整術』，是跟靈魂駭客有關吧？嘿嘿。」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRlvL0NtPR
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT0w0an0C7
黃嘉明沉思兩秒：「我想印證自己某種想法。不過，找翻遍這裡的典籍，始終沒有我想要的答案。」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqVXpCYglq
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw8zQ4cxek
「答案？」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8Y4hKaldu
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEpygRBCX2
「例如把人類帶進靈魂迷宮。我知道那是禁忌，只是隨便說說而已，哈哈。」黃嘉明聳聳肩。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBObstjJRJq
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiobwsLawFM
「確實，靈魂駭客的約則中禁止將普通人帶進靈魂迷宮。這裡沒有你想要的答案。」紐卡遜壓下聲線，古怪地笑道：「院長我剛好有一本舊書，或者有你想要的東西，嘿嘿。」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7nFAV0wR4
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPwzJmrsjU
「真的？」黃嘉明兩眼發光。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yn3qQM2OS
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1mCkQu1ZA
「嘿嘿嘿，要換個地方，到我的辦公室喝杯酒嗎？」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXJpv5wlUB
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjnoHQZ4Ys
黃嘉明聞言，夾緊屁股：「我不賣色，絕對不賣菊花！我以前在蘭桂芳聽過這些對白不下百次。」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6iqyN7DJy
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEvv4bliQb
「你去死吧，怎會變成這樣弱智啊？」紐卡遜的金鴿手杖叩落黃嘉明額頭。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXeko3rPs9
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwTfzHn5zy
「院長？我不是弱智。」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mZrdbyGM7
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TL7Ih1lRG

院長室燈光柔和，壁爐的火光搖曳，在古老的灰牆上拉出兩道長長的影子，整個空間傳出陣陣的煙醺肉乾、烤棉花糖還有波本威士忌的香氣。唱機的指針劃動平滑的黑膠唱片，披頭四的輕快歌聲繞樑不散。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjOE54uP0g
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO6bz2LzQC
紐卡遜院長很喜歡約翰藍儂，就連圓形眼鏡也是同一款式，黃嘉明暗忖。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKdqTYApAJ
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEKATDo0VN
黃嘉明第二次來到這間擺滿西洋古董和書籍的院長室，上一次已經是半年前，在這裡跟蘭鐸教的修道院學生對招，敗得一塌糊塗。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMhe4yynGH
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9GLmfZgQ8
事實上，奧托蘭姆的學生也沒有幾個參觀過院長室，黃嘉明卻對此不以為然。要是讓其他人知道大概會犯眾怒，先被脫清光，然後吊在奧托蘭姆的旗桿上示眾洩憤。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj56PGml5v
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAh61AVrQC
這時，黃嘉明已把陳啟光的事情和盤托出。紐卡遜院長本來就清楚他的事情，而且直覺告訴他，這個慈祥老人肯定可信，擁有跟團長一樣的氣質。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TeKNRCJOx
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFNSqUjPq9
紐卡遜院長拿著一本泛黃，書角被蟲蛀掉，用麻繩當橡根紮住的手札。他翻開手札，遞給黃嘉明，後者猶豫接住。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7btic8UmZK
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABfBzr3yQk
當黃嘉明看到紙上的墨水字時，瞳孔驟然收縮成針，思緒像掉進大海的鉛塊，一時間沉沒在其中。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXMLFevP76
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvcFdJcNgG
「無錯無錯，就是這樣。難怪『調整課』沒有教，正常調整師都不會『讀心術』⋯⋯」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3ea6DIJPy
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5hJD8dBVw
「對對，原來還有這種方法嗎？」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBQEHp74n9
「我的想法果然沒有錯。」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSPSa030pG
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7orWRQoTgA
黃嘉明一邊呷威士忌，一邊翻讀手札的內容，讀得津津有味。他的眼眸中閃爍興奮的神采，像鍊金術師找到賢者之石的鍊成方法；篤信有外星人的科學家發現真正的外星人；考古學家找到恐龍遺骸。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNMFNExs3t
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaIhdYn5dt
這本手札闡述了「把人類帶進靈魂迷宮」的方法！285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJJLxVfXXj
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOmtmDx4lh
跟黃嘉明苦思出來的理論一樣，而且手札所寫的方法剛好踏在灰色地帶上，沒有觸犯靈魂駭客的約則。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6VLRflLZp
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVnc0zeqeA
不是從軀殼扯走對象的靈魂，而是讓他們進入夢境，然後成為他們的「夢之橋樑」連接至靈魂迷宮。當對象醒來後，最多感到疲倦，並不會有生命危險。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZP7NqXCzz
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviptu2ETKg
而且，這個方法躲過法議廳的探測，倒了免卻不必要的麻煩。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrEYlN2in3
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn85MWYGO4
這是一本禁書。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKqzQIJrJq
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPZqlUifpB
「這本調整師手札是我故友的遺物。他是一個學者，專門鑽研一般魂師不會去思考的地方。」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElEg0kfIMY
「也是，正常魂師都不會打算把毫無戰鬥力的人類挾進靈魂迷宮啦。」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErN7n6h3CK
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE1LVp9slJ
「話說回來他跟你很相似，一樣不正常，哈哈。」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzBCxZDZMI

「相似？哪方面？」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszk7rQ5oIE
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBhhTl68YQ
「擁有跟你一樣，連魂師都會吃驚的神秘能力。你稱之為讀心術，對嗎？」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwmtEc6ZlL
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvbhbkjYCf
黃嘉明聞言一顫，聽到對方沒有發現自己是古魔，暗自鬆一口氣。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDCtKFiWx0
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR4fWTOevK
「這個手札像為你而設嘛，現在交由你保管。」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx0mQs0OU4
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEzSxJXYpX
「院長，你不問我要讓誰進入靈魂迷宮嗎？」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9CVucsprD
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMMxJm1cqd
「我相信我的學生。我只問一句好了，你會用在正確的地方，對吧？ 」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87wtSNVvH3
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2LuLyKsLk
「一定會。」黃嘉明重重點頭。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHEeHWMGKE
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3NuFebiye
「那就足夠。」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfvzf7o3B7
「院長，我還有最後一個問題－」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfERuk5Hojm
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaff5HB0XO
「我想想。唔⋯⋯你想問關於魂器的事情，手札的作者是不是同樣喚出一把『槍』，對嗎？」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65FFrMfRX7
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdLaIimnHt
「院長都會⋯⋯讀心？」黃嘉明震驚。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X5tGUoCAD
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6edqIa827
「我靠的只是經驗。我那位故友是一位調整師，雖然性情乖僻，不過魂刃依然是劍。你的魂器可是學院最近的熱話，連導師都暗中議論紛紛。洛奇那個小子本來滿心期盼把劍術傳授給你，現在失望透頂了，哈哈哈。那是聞所未聞的魂槍啊！」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWZKj3kJ74
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ050Wq90dsy
「史上最廢的槍。」黃嘉明補充。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonkTeMrswV
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG7tZ4WgvI
他喚出古董銀槍，朝天發出「呠」的臭屁聲：「看吧。」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqr1P9CfGN
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVw0AeK2dm
紐卡遜院長淡笑，出手快如閃電，瞬間抓住黃嘉明的手腕，讓槍管指向自己的眉心。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxxmAsnklq
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuta5cCXLX
「院長！」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW064bqWWG

黃嘉明臉白如紙，猛然搖頭，眼前閃過一幕幕鮮紅的畫面，震耳欲聾的尖叫聲在他腦袋轟炸。他的食指傳來刺痛感，痛楚沿食指攀至他身體每一條神經，每一粒細胞。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjBT4OCV6b

「夠了。」黃嘉明讓魂槍消失，深呼吸。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCin4UQn05s
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOX30leA7U
「行不行，想不想是兩回事。你應該比誰都清楚，你魂器為甚麼以這個形態顯現。」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5GcEEVomG
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTba1EW8Qiq
「我開不了槍，而且轉輪裡面空空如也，甚麼都沒有。」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtNGx1sEi2
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu1j4AbeIC
紐卡遜院長饒有意味地指著清空的酒杯。285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY07nzlbmb
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUjHiRzBP1
「空空如也，才能裝下萬物，容得下善和惡，不是嗎？」285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPrPQWlEAl
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciNPXyUEA9
