我們在森林裡走了很長一段時間。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc52L8qxZg
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGKxzxS2De
沒有開闢的夜間山路比想像中還要來得難走，一路上走在前面的耕一還必須用從臨時從廚房拿的切魚刀斬斷藤蔓，偶爾還得用上雙手攀爬角度嚴苛的斜坡，搞得我精疲力盡。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOuT18Cmxn
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v3eMxd5Lt
耕一的話就更不用說了，隨著時間的拉長，他的喘息聲到後來急促到我聽了都覺得恐怖的程度，但好幾次向他提出休息的要求都被他給嚴正駁回，說我們沒有那種餘裕。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpu8Sn3lfO
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFz1iGkvCU
等到天空漸漸泛白的時候，我們好不容易抵達接近山脊的位置，我不死心地再次要求耕一休息，然而這次他卻意外地同意，找了棵樹靠著坐了下來。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR77gsxYrw
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMyVfyNqla
我直到這時候正對著他才發現異常，他的樣子相當憔悴，就算疲勞也不應該虛弱成這樣才對。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqBSGgygva
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx258b8f7L
「我想……我已經想通冬笑他們會變成那樣的原因了。」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7ncCnao0I
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIhOuVP61b
我還來不及問他的狀況，耕一先一步指著村子的方向對我這麼說著。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXdpb1MmVv
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdn5uMmw57
於是我只好在旁邊卸下行李，一邊看著遠方有幾處冒煙起火的村子，一邊將水壺的瓶蓋轉開，先倒了一杯水遞給了他。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ER7DKTtdM
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHVKmPn0MK
耕一在接過去的同時說了句「謝謝」後，就自顧自地說了下去。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uflD8gQnu

「妳還記得嗎，來夏？我們過年祭典的時候會用到的那個……啊，算了，這部份不提也罷。」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQDPFauocZ
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8Dqj3dPvB
「沒事吧？我覺得你有點怪怪的。」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l0RIU3BkT
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjmyDmo933
「嗯，只是需要整理思緒而已。接下來我要說的部份可能有點噁心，妳可能要稍微忍耐一下。」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITkxNvbbSL
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4w3UVFT3R
「沒關係，我覺得我這幾天已經見怪不怪了。」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFyREWglEH
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5CS1pkmrn
「那我繼續……簡單來說，大人們將經過『處理』後的屍體灑到了土壤裡面，也就是他們所信奉的回歸自然的教條，並期望藉此來達到『完全的靈魂輪迴』。」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UmQzMgYiL
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtrlXiM4Yi
「所以他們對於冬笑的出現並不感到意外就是這原因嗎？啊，謝謝。」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxaCIFSu6r
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs4dT408le
我接過耕一回遞給我的瓶蓋，馬上替口乾舌燥的自己添上了滿滿一杯水。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvbvkvkQjT
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZeY4GUokT
 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV6Xn1c6ym
「就是這樣，所以那時候才會說想要更加理解而進行剖腹。至於冬笑為什麼會是那副模樣，我想這是因為他們特殊的『處理』而造成的差錯。在解釋這之前……來夏妳聽過『胎兒之夢』這個說法嗎？」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIBsD3rsrB
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2myIilXDs
「沒有，那是什麼？」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfae5gxqrnd
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM7yefN56Q
「簡單來說，是一種對於懷胎十月的過程，雖然聽似荒謬但又有幾分道理的說法……當初那本書的作者提到的觀點是，擁有靈魂的胎兒在母體內做著從過去幾千年一路演化至今的夢，而後再出生承續歷史。」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYMFoksYWo
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9p3dJ8AV3
「這……根本是歪理吧。」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXIce0Bi3u
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhjuRzJ6ul
老實說，耕一的說法與我們過去在課堂上學過的知識完全不同。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaKcDdwdJx
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU0B5iB0xC
 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7pA0aWxZ9
「要說是歪理也行，但讓我稍微舉個例子吧。在懷孕期間，胎兒的蹼和尾巴都會逐漸變化，最後形成我們現在所認知的人類。然而……尾巴和蹼的退化這件事本身不就和我們人類當初演化的過程相同嗎？如果是註定不會留在身上的東西……那麼一開始就不用長出來就好了嗎。」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oIULLu3Qw
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduSCNR3sT3
耕一雖然疲憊但還是說得有條有理，讓我對此發想感到在意起來。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2ho0PQ8K1
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3UrZ8bxsP
 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZwqz2Gg7I
「那這和冬笑變成怪物的關係是？」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc8ZNeoeA7
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4blvQhN1b
不過，這是最先必須弄明白的問題。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYiSCFcsc0

「我認為──人類的胎兒之夢發生在植物身上了。」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeLaf05iNs
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUAkGbRwot
耕一緩慢地說出了他的結論。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEDiIk3MP7
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A6T2JpQmB
而我因為太過於震驚，手中的瓶蓋掉落在地上，裡面的水撒了一地。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgbw2PLSC0

「靈魂最有可能寄宿的位置在於腦部，他們將屍體搗成肉泥灑進土裡的行為，很可能意外造成了附著於種子甚至於被樹木所吸收。」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuLsQw57Ca
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvsKMKgOLY
「也就是說，附著了冬笑靈魂的樹木開始以人類的方式進行演化……」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOSxeBk0zC
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3V4hmiP7K
「沒錯，而還只是嬰兒的她會簡單的思考，並依照本能行動。生命最優先的本能就是繁衍，這就可以解釋身為雌性的冬笑為何襲擊的是葛城，而非並未在當時被認出來的妳。至於其他的……我想可能是冬笑依照自身天性所製造出來的工蟻，除了服從冬笑以外就只剩下本能，不具備自我認知的能力。」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEKPwVmXfF
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsofPqd8Zag
「怎麼會這樣……」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAVbIXmNXJ
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui1uXQxO7F
我不禁回頭望向村子的方向，在那裡發生的悲劇究竟是多少的錯誤交織而成的……我不知道，只是對於這樣的結局感到數不盡的哀傷。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz3DGFIQZm

「其實我會說這麼多，無非就是希望妳將我的想法告知外界，或許將來會有用得上的一天……」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlUZsRTk67
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqbGKXT1Yn
耕一還是在喘，即使坐下來休息這麼久了臉色也沒有好轉的跡象，反而喘得更加嚴重了。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RmcfqPNvG

「我聽不懂你這什麼意思？還有你到底怎麼了……耕一？」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU2ub3e7he

「還不明白嗎？我只能陪妳到這裡，剩下的路妳必須要一個人走。」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3mVoOjudP

「難不成──」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAAe3ZmKR1

大概是女孩子特有的直覺，先前的不協調感在此時連成一線，驅使著我衝上前一把掀開他那厚重的外套。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN25YaxnKnR
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU4Bl63tjp
在那等待我的是在側腹上一片緊貼著一片，像是蜂窩似地吸飽血水的腫脹衛生棉片。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC139Cwuib
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhKiMm0a5j
即便用上這麼多衛生棉仍止不住的鮮血，仍不斷從縫隙中緩緩滲漏出來，因此他外套的內襯早就已經被深紅色給染遍。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucECCIhqMa

「這、什麼時候……」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ5h8ApRvs
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmQ9YqEFWk
止不住的淚水在此時源源不絕地湧出。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UHJRqHtxi
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGckBP2pXS2
我這個笨蛋居然連這麼明顯的事情都沒發現，要是我能早點察覺到不對勁的話……394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbDmNVUPJm

「笨蛋……用不著自責，早在廣場被刺到的時候就沒救了。」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLNSExuFgY
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt2PNuHVOQ
「怎麼可能會沒救！要是能早點治療的話……」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJt4XYahoX
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvne0q5vry
「妳啊，書到底讀到哪去了……這個位置可是脾臟喔，整個村子只有森叔才有辦法吧，但前提是他們要願意治療我這個背叛者才行。」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzRCgLAJlM

「對不起，都是因為我……對不起、對不起……」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3HHtP9NVR
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ630I3r7BoK
講到這裡我已經泣不成聲了，只能不斷地吸著鼻子。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoP1BxrQ29

「別哭了。來……這個妳收好。」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6d4fCY20q
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvZcYo3tmD
耕一遞過來的是一張泛黃的老式名片，上頭有著以原子筆寫下的潦草地址。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkzZbFyLpe
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X3ygyx2Fx
 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgYqnNouLc
「這個是我姑姑的地址，沒意外的話她會收留妳的，我看過她和我父親以前的信，是位相當正直的女性……」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FMEpzhoWr
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WD9gmr8fk
「我不要拿！我要你跟我一起走，嗚……」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAdmTGbeOL
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQJE1TbamJ
「我已經不行了……再說，妳看到那邊那兩隻了沒有？」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8HFa2x9L5
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3DPKavBSu
我順著耕一指著的地方看過去，我的視力很好，所以就算被淚水弄得模糊不清還是看得到他所指的目標──兩隻蝗蟲般的怪物，正在距離一小段的下方順著我們走過的路徑爬行。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuV9Kx2yKB
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhE61vLSmr
 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHpu4qmmJd
「哈啊，哈啊……一小時前就注意到了，不知道是順著血味……還是揮拳時沾到的荷爾蒙跟來的，幸好他們視力很差。總之，我還有要把他們引開的責任。」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHf0e4l21l

心好痛。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70nWgvDkUG
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVBEmjW3rX
我明白耕一一旦做了決定就不會更改，也明白那大量失血所代表的意義，只是怎麼樣都難以接受啊……394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uErxArWxc
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmkksNO3JK

「最後能扶我起來一下嗎，來夏。」394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gTUAaWW0t
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5dWCjUhjS
我點了點頭，想試著將眼淚擦掉……但還是不行，只好哭喪著臉過去攙扶起虛弱至極的他。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSQErdW5pD
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qy2rYT0Sh
好不容易站起來走了一小段以後，耕一突然將我整個人轉過去緊緊地抱住，我的臉順勢靠到了他的肩膀上，但我卻縮著身子，不知道該不該用力的回抱他，深怕一個不小心就讓他的傷勢加劇。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WhxJDNKP4

在我耳邊低聲訴說的話語，讓我認知到自己有多喜歡眼前這個男生。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1DxIWZTVp
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzEaaPexVt
他的手指輕輕地摸著我的頭髮，我多希望時間就停在這一刻永遠不要前進，但是，耕一卻沒有遲疑地將我從他的懷裡推開，在我還沒再次看清他的臉時，逕自朝著我的背後走去。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTFc3SxBpa

394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8mQV6bTwB
太陽初昇，將整座山谷籠罩在金黃的色彩之中，我擦乾眼淚，目標向著朝陽的彼端。394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNOKgqXyij
