昨夜灑落的大雨今天形成遍地水窪，像開出了傳送門連接另一片天空。炎熱的陽光扭曲空間，整座廢城仿如蒸籠。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWwUtoV2cI
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplMfUO9g9D
祐嘉沐浴在豔陽下，人工皮膚感受著透心温暖。換轉是原型的她，因為害怕曬黑，馬上就會躲進陰影裡或打傘遮陽。能毫無顧慮地體驗陽光的舒服，算是仿真人專屬的小確幸吧。也許，在世界的另一角，她的姊妹會如此想道。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZZOt4VobD
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdAWm6AAJl
沉甸甸的背包讓祐嘉覺得自己矮了幾分，區區半打能量飲品便足以令她吃力。仿真情人的力量比常人低，而催生這項設計的罪魁禍首就在眼前。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB2Pz2snEK
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX1iVNn4yf
紅楓的背包很小，只裝了些小型輕巧工具。她的力量比祐嘉還要弱，甚至連把毛巾扭乾也做不到。男人索求紅楓病態的愛，又為了自身安全而加諸限制，這副扭曲的慾望體現不禁讓她聯想到河豚刺身。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXkMtubqPR
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDhjB2Wweo
兩人在街道中央走著，泰然的接受午陽的暴曬。直到熟悉的冰室招牌映入眼簾，紅楓的步伐腼腆的減慢。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0W4GqLNnH
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5exuQcxFA
「我從後門進入，待會再見。」她說。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1Qp19r0Qa
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT12ReHkOLv
祐嘉急忙拉住紅楓的肩膀，好像遲一秒她便會霧化消失。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLRlZjngwr
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wL5kWL0l0
「一起走正門吧。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC2aI3eNdl
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GXrjyLTfb
紅楓扭頭過來，臉上沒有表情，｢我沒所謂，只是，舖裡的空氣會因此變得難聞。｣307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZN87V34D2
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG6qYP2uAo
「沒關係，我會幫你，是時候讓大家化解誤會。關係總不能一直僵持下去，猜疑只會徒增大家的壓力。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzLvT8BchX
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95O9QDsjft
祐嘉推著紅楓的背，一同跨進冰室正門。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmIHIiLqtE
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLOH21hUeO
「歡迎光臨！請問幾位！」智賀從座位上跳起來，模仿侍應的口吻。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0VgQf76zi
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DYNH0gaDd
「兩位。 」試圖活絡氣氛的祐嘉應道。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83SdV63cLK
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D6v0BmCeO
「一段時間沒見，原來是你。」櫻看到祐嘉自然的笑了，然而，當視線移到她的身後，那新月般的笑容立即躲進積雲後。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwggN15tj7b
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8ixXwjSIU
果不其然，紅楓的出現像扔下一顆臭彈，眾人的臉色都難看起來。(除了智賀，她的臉是另一種意義的難看。)紅楓本人卻是愛理不理，對著玻璃門自顧自的整理瀏海。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP2hyndwwI
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxopMsNbAjx
「你們準備外出嗎？」她看見櫻背著背包，身後的安德魯和小熊也一副整裝待發的樣子。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM9QqZKok2
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf8v0XYYBx
抓住話題，櫻擠出笑容說下去，｢是啊，我們要去南部探險。｣307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbB1NioG7j
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeXI0SPjAw
「探險！」小熊神情興奮的高舉雙手。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhUW8mUquo
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzQACVAeAX
「其實是去收集能量飲品。」安德魯拍拍小熊的肩膀說。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjgAQDmfXS
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4GQv2VFpC
「辛苦了，你們是我們之中最壯的。」祐嘉向背包比了比，｢這一點點的量便讓我吃不消。｣307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl84PKlPAC4
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXwmWMMJDM
櫻笑得更開，舉手撐起不存在的二頭肌，｢體力活就交給我們吧！｣307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vXBJ7qjfl
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFDqktr5cS
「喔！」小熊有樣學樣。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GUMeGhp7B
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqbvQj4oRM
「小熊還需要些日子呢。」安德魯說，｢祐嘉，有沒有甚麼想要的東西？｣307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt9x9cqQOx
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ487I31OKEc
「想要就說吧，我們都能找來。」櫻下巴往廂座點了點，那兒坐著亞里、友梨和智賀，桌面上擺著一副飛行棋。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccJEmFk9BO
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx9FLeqIPE
「嗯……」祐嘉單手托腮假裝思考，她並無特別想要的東西，但為了把話題接下去……「小說和漫畫都可以，能消磨漫漫長夜的精神食糧。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMgiIowNCs
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGk8G9dwpT
「好！幫你找一套充滿力量的磚頭書。」櫻爽快答應。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT3gRW7p7l
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlRqM0QHEl
祐嘉轉頭，問紅楓：「你呢？」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQYtktWw0u
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAoCsyfvnB
此料不及的櫻唐突收起了笑臉，如此反應早在祐嘉預期之內。即使自己會被厭惡，她也想協助紅楓盡快融入團體，而不是當匹離群小羊。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnVcAkTl8d
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qpNpAJZ3W
「是呢，那麼……」紅楓指尖撩著髮絲打轉，｢透明的魚絲和手套，能找到嗎？｣307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONdT521a7P
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4N8goy3NQ
「啊，我正好知道那兒有。｣櫻努力維持平靜的笑容，｢你喜歡釣魚嗎？」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCjXUU7uBf
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmGb2pAlYU
紅楓烏黑的眼睛遠去，嘴角詭異地上彎，｢是啊，釣魚呢。｣307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKz3CZQg9J
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cbaEgNGzI
另一邊廂，智賀骰到六，她拿起棋子走了六步。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXiQxmdDY0
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRGzoXbfOp
踏 踏 踏 踏 踏 踏307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPfKNZAOey
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzGXdF3RBx
「哈哈，她在開玩笑。」祐嘉搭著紅楓的肩膀猛晃，讓她的辮子像鐘擺搬晃動，｢這傢伙是很幽默的。｣307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6xc85rde4
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4Iyh7eYFD
櫻的唇角抖動，像嘴裡含住蒼蠅。
「我們去跟大小姐打招呼，祝你們一路順風。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGDcEohFci
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tshA8C1CO
接著，祐嘉帶住紅楓和窘態逃進了防煙門。她按著胸脯，似要壓停亂顫的心律。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UsUTNXr4U
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYwQoY7IGw
「你啊，我把球傳給你，不是要你對她們用扣殺。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdDeJecnHX
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfjLK9daaP
「開玩笑而已。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMYB0tRTFi
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rJybSHgIr
「雖然這種說法很失禮，但你要顧及自己的身份再開玩笑啊。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MJaHrGaIj
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3vxOCuCL4
「我有納入考慮，所以笑點才成立。」她推眼鏡。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qDWyG4SBb
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ8n5wQEgr
祐嘉給她一個白眼，｢有時，我不禁懷疑你真的是那個惡名昭彰的紅楓嗎？總覺得性格和印象完全對不上。｣她往廚房步去。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSuUOQy86K
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7Gnfz2Hit
「我的本性要在情人認證後才能啟動，現在就像——」「像心理測驗，你之前說過了。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn2kEmqwFR
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JPR2BEmDE
二人通過走廊，恬靜的空氣使她們也不自覺的放輕腳步，空氣中傳來低語，隱約聽見是大小姐和昌姐的對話。祐嘉無意偷聽，只是她們靠得夠近，而廚房裡的二人又剛好沒注意到。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU2UaNU5W7
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshKiqQEOWC
廚房的正中央，二人站在同一個影子裡。昌姐抱著大小姐，兩手摟住她的後腰，高大的身軀令她的站姿略為駝背。昌姐背對二人，看不見表情。大小姐閉著眼，慈祥的臉朝向上，枕著昌姐的秀髮，手貼住她寬大的後背。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI9ElnjwT8
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxDuQpPdPC
「我受夠了。」那柔弱的嗓子，無法相信出自昌姐。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG3bCGQKHg
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3xElIOOA0
「你已經做得很好。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHUr8Rid8r
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC687BH51d
「我不要了，一秒都不想繼續。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyiDu6B8WG
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBDwZLtlz6
「雙日，我的乖女孩，從少就愛撒嬌。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03rrOnr9Kz
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMcBaMqycH
祐嘉感覺耳根熱得要著火，燒融連接下顎的螺絲，整個下巴掉到地上。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK92QGWuaL
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HF7YSqpuA
昌姐的背影突然一顫，勢如猛虎扭頭。兩人及時縮進牆裡，空氣飄來沉實的腳步。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64oeIpRcxm
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz53db2FUr
「哇，我們撞中了最糟糕的時刻。」祐嘉掩著紅透的臉，｢怎麼辦？怎麼辦？怎麼辦？裝作沒看見嗎？藉口！快找藉口！｣307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRketBfXQSq
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJFPQyFIvc
當祐嘉心亂如麻時，紅楓轉身走開。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJPDgzkgHZ
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PKnBHoG9l
「紅…等等我！」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaALH3thZF
語未畢，紅楓一手把鐵架上的碗碟掃到地上。刺耳的碎裂聲，把祐嘉的理智通通吹飛。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgDcBvsG5s
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu5buKLAe6
「你們……」昌姐從牆後跳出，目光迷離，衣衫不整，髮絲紊亂，氣喘吁吁吐著白霞。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9Ih7saBab
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJmWYmuk2M
「祐嘉，笨手笨腳。」紅楓指住她尖聲譴責。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9VcFL5swq
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwo4mL9mRV
「吓！」祐嘉感到天旋地轉，腦海上刮起一場猛烈的颱風。一道雷直劈海面，電到祐嘉内心深處。｢哎呀！看我多不走心！衣服勾到都沒注意！｣307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRmMe9VqzG
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW2DlE9SRN
昌姐的胸腔激烈的起伏，視線在二人身上彈跳，她長吐口氣，似是接受了解釋，｢進來吧，這兒我待會再收拾。｣307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhexwVIDouX
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjj6RRZJtF
「真的非常抱歉。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbUsTZKmKf
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC3Zdh8GuH
她們走入廚房，昌姐接過祐嘉的背包，把能量飲品放進斷電的冰箱裡，大小姐臉不紅氣不喘的站在原位。見到二人，她搬出社交說辭噓寒一番，祐嘉也機械式的回應。恐懼迫人成長，她的說話能力突飛猛進，好像只要停止說話，那頭名叫難勘的怪獸便會甦醒，一口把眾人咬死。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrZuCfbD2c
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISpCu6RRw1
等到氣氛緩和了，大小姐發下命令：｢昌，空罐子累積不少，應該要拿去丟掉清理。祐嘉，可以去幫忙嗎？｣307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hkTONS7RV
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4PUK1AoqP
「舉手之勞。」祐嘉說。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzWzPk8ZN5
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWwz84zBZQ
兩人提起牆角的兩袋垃圾，走出廚房，往走廊的另一邊，從後門離去。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kWY7XFsrR
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzaRAKgute
所謂的丟垃圾只是幌子，目的是合理化祐嘉和昌姐離開廚房(脱離監視) 的理由。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmWeP7ULUU
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1dk2e4Jf2
她們轉進暗巷，這裡經確認沒有監視器，算是意義上的『安全室』。
昌姐把垃圾丟進大型收集箱内。她半拉開手套，望著手心對錶，｢我們有五分鐘，請長話短說。｣307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs7gumVWRf
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Fsoqet1Br
祐嘉從口袋掏出平板，外觀和仿真情人的用戶手冊一樣，然而，那是屬於昌姐的東西。即使外觀相似，內容物卻是天淵之別。她們仿真情人的用戶手冊充其量只是將紙本電子化，比喻來就是唯讀CD-ROM。
昌姐持有的是真正的平板電腦，不只具備太陽能充電功能，性能還是最高規格。通俗地描述，是會讓持有人馬上成為朋友焦點，假如拿著走到街上絕對會被搶的程度。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9Mp7b99nz
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns5rGA2mVf
「依照吩咐，開著app在廢城逛了一圈。」她把平板交給昌姐，｢這樣就能找到監視器的信號源嗎？｣307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QSFZoF5Yr
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH7ar26Tag
「你能放一百萬個安心。」昌撥開瀏海，瞳孔對正平板的前置鏡頭，藍寶石色的瞳孔一閃，便把平板遞給祐嘉，｢地圖。｣307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4mN4a2UiT
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzDwy6izoz
祐嘉聞言從另一邊口袋取出摺成細塊的地圖，攤開來，上面粗糙地畫著廢城的地形。昌姐的指尖在南部位置打圈，｢這兒探測到特別多3C產品，對這裡深入調查。｣307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanqknTTDFL
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I9bQDlWNH
「了解。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mqdOzoEig
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEG2chcBPg
「發現可疑的地方也好，別在同一處逗留太久，那兒很可能是監視者的據點，一定要謹慎行事。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsAwxhCHZn
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N8AKdTN3D
「明白。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemnfKkiZLD
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJcxgpVmCQ
「另外，」昌姐拉開手套看錶，｢和你的新朋友處得如何？｣307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqsr1wntOk
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m05d9q0mW
祐嘉立即意會到是說紅楓的事，同時令祐嘉回想起，昌姐曾對紅楓說了很過份的話。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvOGdEtKmj
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMONZQJG8k
「我們關係融洽，她是個很友善的人。」祐嘉特別注意咬字發音清晰。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA6sUO52uf
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjj1vCVqvR
「不錯，保持現狀，時刻警惕。時間差不多。」昌姐沒有正眼看她，把手套拉上後轉身便走。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOoEi1GuGD
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJOBbldbqj
「昌姐。」
祐嘉喊住，她停止步伐。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8EKAb312s
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWLP7LnYhn
「你曾經叫紅楓去自殺。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw3QsCZ4HE
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t5yYhKxUJ
「是。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEUKjnspvf
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qt2w9qzh8
發話前，祐嘉預料昌姐會矢口否認，或以語言偽術砌詞詭辯，然而，坦率的態度反而打亂祐嘉節奏。昌姐背靠著牆，雙手合十置於下腹，以沉默催迫她說話。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1K3y3SU6g
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxLxyyc3Xc
祐嘉抱胸表示不滿，｢這種話太過份了。｣307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A6IxknEpi
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi4A1rlo3F
昌姐往空中擺手，像那是無關緊要的瑣事，｢我故意煽動她的情緒，假若真的聽話自我了斷，那對我們是最有利的。她要是心生怨恨，我也能在她動手前制止。以上兩項都比現時好，未爆彈可是最危險的。｣307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT9wtCRcEM
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QjzROceMG
祐嘉不可置信的瞪大了眼睛，她應該清晰地表達了自己是站在紅楓那邊的。但是，昌姐居然毫不修飾地說出刻毒涼薄的話。立場不被尊重，使祐嘉感受到前所未有的屈辱，她想要發火，但木柴是濕的，不能燃燒。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrooIwLmsp
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqdfP8kmDJ
「紅楓說，她作為恐怖情人的性格未被啟動。現在，她是無害的。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXRz1i8czN
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqeMpDLJQy
「現在的她是無害的。」昌姐食指點著下巴，每說一個字便點一下，｢你變相承認她的本性是『有害的』。｣307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJow713JBz
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1IdLzkKWf
「你這是偷換概念！」祐嘉大動作甩手，那是反射性的，出自本能的動作，祐嘉自己也被稍稍嚇到，｢現在的紅楓不是壞人，沒必要視為異己。與其浪費精力向友軍張牙舞爪，倒不如集中精神對付真正的敵人。｣307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaVY9NSirj
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHsOiJK0hN
昌姐抬高鼻子，似是對她的強烈反應感到意外。｢2077年，你當時幾歲？｣307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KcvTAcWtL
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8zWAxwhvd
十歲，祐嘉馬上換算好答案。但是，真正要思考的，是問題背後的動機。昌姐將要提出論證去打擊祐嘉的立場，直接回應如同空手格擋尖矛，徒勞，且廢掉可以還擊的雙手。
此時問及年齡，難道要以年長者的身份來施壓嗎？不，她有著身為上流人士的高傲，自尊心不容許用人身攻擊此等低級手法。想不通自己的年齡與紅楓有何關聯，祐嘉選擇保持沉默，抱胸，等昌姐接話。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrb8K0Cpsy
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZxEuNBJkw
「總共十四個，」昌姐沒頭沒腦的說，｢一月兩個，三月一個，五月兩個，八月三個，十二月六個。2077年，死於紅楓系列的人共有十四個，是歷來最多的一年。然而，這只是受害人總數的冰山一角。｣右手手腕反轉朝天，食指指住祐嘉，｢以上是我所提出，證明紅楓系列需要警惕的論據。輪到你了，能證明紅楓不是壞人的論據是？｣307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzeTZO7Y4M
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4mTCIynF6
大腦晶片高速運算，此時必須謹言慎行，她需要一個鐵打不動的有力論據，足以一擊即中反駁昌姐。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmK6VpWYNfQ
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrfI5Dvyve
「那些都是進行過情人認證的紅楓，和我們身邊的這位完全不同，不能混為一談。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaG1rdtAZN
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGZI7pNDGl
「把她和她們區分開來的關鍵點是情人認證，的確，沒有進行認證前便傷人的案例。」昌姐點頭，｢換句話說，『情人認證』便是束縛她的枷鎖，能拉住她不跨過紅線的鎖鐐。與鎖對應的是鑰匙，能夠解開枷鎖的鑰匙到底是甚麼？｣307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQiadgOjR1
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaCDVJMIeX
不等回答，昌姐接著說，｢一個吻，無關愛與慾，單單的物理接觸。啵，好朋友紅楓消失，恐怖情人紅楓登場。她成為她們的一份子，你還能保證她是獨特的嗎？｣307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdAjH2tPQU

307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dmSxiMFE5
她們回到廚房，昌姐在門框前停步，祐嘉差點撞上去。她抬頭，究竟是甚麼擋住她？307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM7Va4FoUu
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAN4y0IlGt
比視覺還快的居然是聲音，『滴…踏…』，遍地的液體。站在窪上的紅楓手上拿著刀，刀尖滴著液體。工作檯上躺著一具軀體，液體沿金色的髮絲滴落。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHHcHwQAK6
