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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGWqB37bRb

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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKe4726lDr
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wZKCrH6wG
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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpU0O7Wh7E
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb3UFjBJ4x
在家人的苦口婆心的勸說下，陳啟光接受了動心術的建議。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6rJ7AF5I2

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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfDcgqC6fv

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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmPEgouY0C

「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。」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNu8LpDC0b

「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。」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbLb7vTelB

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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVf8FKYfNN

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7GWhavfTv
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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIxmmyifmI

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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFhRmpSa2e

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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJemVmbbDQ

「真的嗎？」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0NIORHqdy
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0aOzBUwTy
黃嘉明移開視線：「當然。」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERdBUrCZX5
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpm1MZ23e3
「好吧。在找甚麼？有院長可以幫忙的事嗎？」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowuRPB46ll
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwLGtoGwQ0
「我在找關於『調整術』還有魂器的資料⋯⋯」黃嘉明含糊其詞。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrydvwYYd98
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIognCSO6n
「『調整術』，是跟靈魂駭客有關吧？嘿嘿。」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGEtA9LDEl
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPyS4IBe4v
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。」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXwHcrktjK
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYo9yD7a98
「答案？」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5viBpomIQ
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut6RyCZnNf
「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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwgwKIs6mz
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXk05QvwrA
「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。」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPigmEOSKOC
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBk7dlPFA0
「真的？」黃嘉明兩眼發光。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3fqNyq0ae
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWTE1JxqgF
「嘿嘿嘿，要換個地方，到我的辦公室喝杯酒嗎？」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfCkeISvbO
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Oh0FIwBP8
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。」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEMoN4AGgR
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mBqcHmOym
「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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOiipvGgUD
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqOECcRWox
「院長？我不是弱智。」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJi8jyn3WQ
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxKVaakN0d

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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWteDXXShK
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn0r0alAkk
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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtDTU4yG93
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFAZ1mSNzu
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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc30OGVQMrq
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1sR7lKCts
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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DXA8Knqrs
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxg8TjKbMP
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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qPKtkzzcE
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EDetoSyUD
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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nUVEdy0Pn
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVf5ZcRt7Y
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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm5r3FXSNo
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGN2O6XH5Q
「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』⋯⋯」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmMQ7inYD3
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLtzC9C5i3
「對對，原來還有這種方法嗎？」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGnaeqcwwn
「我的想法果然沒有錯。」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDZBIS2T3J
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJbjhnI1F2
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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZotivgjbC
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcABWzcVEt4
這本手札闡述了「把人類帶進靈魂迷宮」的方法！261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY6jFzKCbQ
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PlfL0Szzd
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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZORVKluPh
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9jq004vHG
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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhYm8JjcBE
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKmXWb8MY8
而且，這個方法躲過法議廳的探測，倒了免卻不必要的麻煩。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4aeZZGgZI
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcxoSZ14vy
這是一本禁書。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVyl0QMK3N
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyjdABa8wU
「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。」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OPuix3gI6
「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。」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKZZgB66mg
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULzFNwLxHk
「話說回來他跟你很相似，一樣不正常，哈哈。」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcJtAo4zyy

「相似？哪方面？」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BYeIeZ6x6
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UmlOGhgkW
「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？」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzF8hBRyqq
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUxFvpgrp9
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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviLm7A9Rng
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlis6aQ6rPp
「這個手札像為你而設嘛，現在交由你保管。」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IynkHNaPH
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfCUXUxgdi
「院長，你不問我要讓誰進入靈魂迷宮嗎？」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD41BorOzL
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAeAOWd4FU
「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？ 」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg6Vlfp3xC
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57qH3PvWnp
「一定會。」黃嘉明重重點頭。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUduKZu541q
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23vUnjAk9K
「那就足夠。」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIfm7aQPbP
「院長，我還有最後一個問題－」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMTrPgj4Lu
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo4e3NLEyI
「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？」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsiQmBqSFQ
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLzJi5xZAY
「院長都會⋯⋯讀心？」黃嘉明震驚。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTEwFQDpJy
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzmnh8gafz
「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！」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKuP6i9kMG
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1TFBXvWXm
「史上最廢的槍。」黃嘉明補充。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmju6K2Mj05
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeu3xCk2ma
他喚出古董銀槍，朝天發出「呠」的臭屁聲：「看吧。」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViCRURQCA9
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPqhMbNxpI
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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr76KxjjsL8
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWInhGXoSzR
「院長！」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhL41Gu2YT

「開槍試試看。」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfytWW1fPK
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7dO32EZfM
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。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyozxdV9vr

「夠了。」黃嘉明讓魂槍消失，深呼吸。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLcbpDVSZs
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIscBJpacc4
「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。」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBDpkvQpZj
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23NatPKzQF
「我開不了槍，而且轉輪裡面空空如也，甚麼都沒有。」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI02JQU4AEu
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3tmHxV1E0
紐卡遜院長饒有意味地指著清空的酒杯。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmbANyl8mS

「空空如也，才能裝下萬物，容得下善和惡，不是嗎？」261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkeurxr5XB
261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gMj7QxYdp
黃嘉明默默咀嚼紐卡遜院長的話，直至告別時都參透不出紐卡遜院長話裡的意思。261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD4M0xjm76
