「──冬笑?請等一下!請問妳是結城冬笑小姐嗎!?」132Please respect copyright.PENANAqnUaXX9ieu
132Please respect copyright.PENANA2OOtIZfbqQ
132Please respect copyright.PENANAJf4A6OMxkp
132Please respect copyright.PENANAeCb8sHeYHF
下班的時候在路上被來路不明的男人給叫住。132Please respect copyright.PENANAGphq5LPL1N
132Please respect copyright.PENANAYd5jQwqUxi
若是換作平常的情況,我肯定頭也不回地當作沒聽到,絕不會給對方好臉色看。132Please respect copyright.PENANAX12boTzm7K
132Please respect copyright.PENANAYZRdkWlibf
只是這次,從對方口中說出的並非搭訕的話語,而是對我來說是相當久違的──我親生妹妹的名字。132Please respect copyright.PENANAuGrcz1N2vv
132Please respect copyright.PENANAbt8xLsx3hH
132Please respect copyright.PENANAJCUqMQP7Eb
「抱歉,你認錯人了。」132Please respect copyright.PENANA6Bzs7PFNhc
132Please respect copyright.PENANASpSn5UK9jm
但基於某種程度上考量,我還是決定主動保持距離,而且這也不算說謊就是了。132Please respect copyright.PENANAUz21rST7Mt
132Please respect copyright.PENANAd8Tdqqn0Gs
132Please respect copyright.PENANANCXeg5u5OD
「哦!那妳肯定就是冬笑的姊姊,結城來夏小姐了吧?」132Please respect copyright.PENANAh55pzEgNjz
132Please respect copyright.PENANAHIV0Yo9SyL
「───」132Please respect copyright.PENANAKfbSrSZBFT
132Please respect copyright.PENANAegZFcedhAX
老實說我感到相當意外,這個皮膚黝黑的男人不但清楚我的舊姓,甚至連我的家庭狀況都相當清楚。132Please respect copyright.PENANANTKEbSuOGP
132Please respect copyright.PENANA2mDKobzhqE
這樣一來,肯定不是個能夠隨便打發掉的傢伙,因此我決定接受他的邀約,前往附近的家庭餐館吃飯,反正今天加班的我也還沒有吃晚餐。132Please respect copyright.PENANAogWyIIt54y
132Please respect copyright.PENANAFLHsgevp6o
132Please respect copyright.PENANAXdU878eQAb
「還沒有自我介紹啊,我姓青海,職業是一名自由記者。」132Please respect copyright.PENANA1uLm9PWvIh
132Please respect copyright.PENANAgTWO9kM6k6
我接過皺巴巴的名片,上頭的名字寫著青海雄介。132Please respect copyright.PENANA8rmkML5U7G
132Please respect copyright.PENANAtUqgkAt9bp
我再次打量起眼前的男人,染著一頭金色的刺蝟髮型的他身材相當魁梧,坦克背心外面套著一件顏色鮮艷的花襯衫,若是再加上一副吊兒啷鐺的墨鏡和金項鍊的話,就相當符合我心目中的混混形象了。132Please respect copyright.PENANAhNh9yqNmtJ
132Please respect copyright.PENANA2Mos475OBm
從眼角的魚尾紋判斷,年紀的話大概比我大上十歲左右,也就是接近四十歲的年紀,但可能更大也不一定。132Please respect copyright.PENANAvzVHc5xBLt
132Please respect copyright.PENANA2CkRgp7vs1
132Please respect copyright.PENANAO6Z5hSe2RH
「哦,對了,我吸菸的話妳不介意吧?」132Please respect copyright.PENANAtOQGUavL0j
132Please respect copyright.PENANAJLQwZlFYub
「我介意。」132Please respect copyright.PENANASsF36snRBK
132Please respect copyright.PENANAl3Q6CM2gUX
「這樣啊,那就得請妳將就一下了。」132Please respect copyright.PENANAbzCW9em6P5
132Please respect copyright.PENANAr6mbLEg4C0
很好,我對這個男人的第一印象簡直糟透了。132Please respect copyright.PENANA3K3dEIz2WJ
132Please respect copyright.PENANAPmkGZDTNR9
偏偏有鑑於他掌握到的情報超乎我想像中的多,我決定多花點時間聽聽他的用意。132Please respect copyright.PENANAWpXCTPvbCP
132Please respect copyright.PENANApO8gJliTrp
132Please respect copyright.PENANAG21ixzhMC7
「我就單刀直入地說了吧,可以請妳告訴我神命村的一切嗎?」132Please respect copyright.PENANAx8Z4wA1ysx
132Please respect copyright.PENANAtc4pIENGbH
點起了菸,光是這句話就可以知道這個名叫青海的男人來歷相當不簡單。132Please respect copyright.PENANAN25mfotpTz
132Please respect copyright.PENANAt6zg8XALbw
這是我自從被神谷阿姨收留以來,第一次從外人口中聽到神命村這三個字。基本上,一般人是絕對不知道的,就算翻閱目前所有市售的地圖,甚至是網路上的空拍圖,都絕不可能得知神命村的存在。132Please respect copyright.PENANAaWj775t7KX
132Please respect copyright.PENANALQC2iX1G84
132Please respect copyright.PENANABOIrwuDBOA
「在這之前先由我提問,你和冬笑是什麼關係?」132Please respect copyright.PENANAd0N3I7C1g5
132Please respect copyright.PENANAvND0vbxhdj
我現在唯一想到的可能性,就是十幾年前冬笑在都市所接觸過的人。132Please respect copyright.PENANAbA9OnBXnAi
132Please respect copyright.PENANAuw0GVB8RL4
132Please respect copyright.PENANAhG2MuzWhl8
「這個嘛,該怎麼說呢……資助她的一種關係。嘿,可別誤會,不是援助交際啊,那時候被上面派去做蹺家少女的報導,所以只是花錢跟她買情報而已,會得知神命村和妳們家的關係也是在那時候。」132Please respect copyright.PENANAoatML0HxJj
132Please respect copyright.PENANAGCcWGVSmh3
男人得意地挑了幾下眉,我這邊反而將眉頭皺了起來……總覺得有點不舒服,第一個問題就讓我有點打退堂鼓。132Please respect copyright.PENANAIzTwDsHPzV
132Please respect copyright.PENANA1xsJN8sEjo
132Please respect copyright.PENANAAAU2jckbtE
「既然提都提到了,我姑且就先確認一下,冬笑她應該已經不在人世了吧?」132Please respect copyright.PENANAFvYYvnDmVf
132Please respect copyright.PENANAMEBiZuNnzE
「看來你對村子的規則相當清楚。」132Please respect copyright.PENANAa59HZkNoKW
132Please respect copyright.PENANAebBDpPdWl7
「這話未免太抬舉我了,我也是費了好大的勁才拿到這極少的情報,對神命村的了解肯定沒有比在裡面生活過的妳還要來得多。」132Please respect copyright.PENANAdalcDsfKbW
132Please respect copyright.PENANAjUPC2z5XBo
男人深深地吸了一口菸,接著對著菸灰缸彈了兩下菸灰。132Please respect copyright.PENANAJrzdWgqkzj
132Please respect copyright.PENANAFbBreUmyA0
132Please respect copyright.PENANAXqo3jlU3bE
「所以,請妳務必將妳所知的情報提供給我,我想寫一篇專題報導,若是證據充分的話,我打算將其交給國際媒體揭發這個村子。」132Please respect copyright.PENANAXpZEAUiTTi
132Please respect copyright.PENANAEFU1oCjXOF
我雖然不喜歡眼前的男人,但仍可從他的眼神中看得出作為記者的專業及熱忱。132Please respect copyright.PENANAu64iA2NDNm
132Please respect copyright.PENANA5Fyp0il35M
這時服務生正巧過來詢問點餐,於是我點了一份焗烤義大利麵套餐搭配熱咖啡,而青海先生則是點了份與他外貌大相逕庭的豪華巧克力聖代。132Please respect copyright.PENANAf5ZOhFSYXP
132Please respect copyright.PENANAnbbG39gJ7H
132Please respect copyright.PENANAAJ074VLDzm
「青海先生,你的想法我能理解。只不過正如你所見,我是被村子『淘汰』而倖存的人,換句話說,我對村子本身並不了解,這點還得請你先將你那邊的情報提供給我。」132Please respect copyright.PENANA8XOidN0PEr
132Please respect copyright.PENANAMxR9gq346k
熱咖啡送上來的速度很快,苦澀的口感讓我稍微提振了上班所耗費掉的精神。132Please respect copyright.PENANAhElEwBnXdo
132Please respect copyright.PENANA4UN7D7vj1m
132Please respect copyright.PENANA5Vs0z0Ijl9
「作為交換條件,我會將當初促使我成功逃離的那個事件,鉅細靡遺地提供給你。」132Please respect copyright.PENANAuYaRfSBxiK
132Please respect copyright.PENANASZ2kXiTZ2g
說歸這麼說,其實就算他什麼都不知道,我還是會將那個事件完整地告訴他。132Please respect copyright.PENANAfy7MH5oUYx
132Please respect copyright.PENANArQLBuXtr9P
因為我答應過耕一,要將當時的事情全都公開給外界知道。132Please respect copyright.PENANAgDedlQpQWG
132Please respect copyright.PENANAki9wPU16BX
其實我很早以前就想說了,只不過神谷阿姨認為會招來危險,因此希望我暫緩公開的時間點,如今我認為現在正是個值得把握的機會。132Please respect copyright.PENANAMelbN3CgbX
132Please respect copyright.PENANAmImDad9B0E
132Please respect copyright.PENANARKg8dZMvNM
「這麼好的提案怎麼可能不接受呢!」132Please respect copyright.PENANAimtEPqQ8p1
132Please respect copyright.PENANAkp527LZbh7
青海先生想都不想就同意了我的要求。132Please respect copyright.PENANA0QA1vo42Je
132Please respect copyright.PENANAqCTZ7vKQrq
接著,他從相機包裡取出一台小型的平板電腦,打開圖片的資料夾。132Please respect copyright.PENANAKgswZ1wpd3
132Please respect copyright.PENANAf4Yq1CwiJV
132Please respect copyright.PENANAZWUV3SK0A5
「首先,要提到神命村的話,就不得不提到這個男人──」132Please respect copyright.PENANAcYLmioxwa8
132Please respect copyright.PENANA0amJfcJY2K
男人的手指點按,原本小張的個人獨照被放大。132Please respect copyright.PENANApPwBxtlO1g
132Please respect copyright.PENANAeghCLeMOpN
照片裡頭髮灰白的老人,這時期鬍鬚比我印象中還要短上許多,左眼也還沒有變得混濁。132Please respect copyright.PENANAc1mO0vtHHm
132Please respect copyright.PENANAxvjLIoM6ad
132Please respect copyright.PENANAAmxBbZrt2z
「──芥川實至郎,也就是神命教的教主,同時也是身兼多間跨國企業的總裁。132Please respect copyright.PENANAf0iAWsAc8u
132Please respect copyright.PENANAS3npUQbZib
而他也將這份領導能力發揮至極致,其創立的神命教所倡導的回歸自然主義,深受各界的菁英份子所推崇,至於中間興盛的過程如何我就不贅述。總而言之,在各界取之不盡的資源支持下,距今三十年前,以他為首的菁英份子們決定仿照1974年的人民聖殿農業計畫,在某個深山中成立了自給自足的小鎮,也就是妳所認識的神命村。」132Please respect copyright.PENANA5dT7r4zrIm
132Please respect copyright.PENANAc8tQMQMfJH
「請稍等一下,各界的菁英份子?」132Please respect copyright.PENANAql0TpSt7Id
132Please respect copyright.PENANAMiEfSinTqt
「是的,包含妳的父親結城正信副教授在內,全部的居民都是經過道德篩選過的高知識份子。」132Please respect copyright.PENANApNPI8CEwhX
132Please respect copyright.PENANAcAoumvTpqL
我想起曾經在父親背包裡發現的證件,證明這個男人所言不假。132Please respect copyright.PENANAnEEVxab7nB
132Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZILrCvuDl
132Please respect copyright.PENANAB9Ga5xnFKg
「再加上有著嚴格遵循教義的教主,神命村與當年釀成悲劇的瓊斯鎮完全不同,如果單看表面的話,確實可以是現代理想鄉的體現。」132Please respect copyright.PENANApFz0qHq0mp
132Please respect copyright.PENANAAv5Li74LAg
「那地方才不是什麼理想鄉……」132Please respect copyright.PENANAXWggoYE8xz
132Please respect copyright.PENANA1RWl66eE89
我看著咖啡裡日光燈的倒影,手指不自覺地用力起來。132Please respect copyright.PENANAFySwx4akle
132Please respect copyright.PENANAANonr8DhIo
132Please respect copyright.PENANAiV20iZA7bU
「沒錯,到此為止就是我所理解的全部。輪到妳了,來吧,告訴我妳是怎麼逃離那個村子的?」132Please respect copyright.PENANASJV26m2ytO
132Please respect copyright.PENANATmmLxDxBd0
他將平板電腦切換到錄音模式。132Please respect copyright.PENANAhhMH0snaFz
132Please respect copyright.PENANApoCmBMIfki
132Please respect copyright.PENANA1FSpeYvDvq
那是個很長的故事。132Please respect copyright.PENANAqmWDONZFDU
132Please respect copyright.PENANAbX1kOsNp3k
我簡單地做了個深呼吸,試著將那塵封已久的記憶再度打開,當年在教室裡的光景彷彿重現在眼前──132Please respect copyright.PENANAgoNpJ1v9TE
132Please respect copyright.PENANAevkp3zJ6Jl
◇132Please respect copyright.PENANAee59OL7yHN
132Please respect copyright.PENANANu00L1rzQD
「嗯……想不到經歷了這樣的慘劇啊。」132Please respect copyright.PENANAKrfsTXcShw
132Please respect copyright.PENANAr1wVzeabXE
我說完以後,青海雄介這個男人明顯對我的故事內容感到震驚。132Please respect copyright.PENANAKm6nEGHdXn
132Please respect copyright.PENANAGlmXDtiwHK
他在不斷地用湯匙點著見底玻璃杯好一陣子後,才說出讓我差點暈厥的結論。132Please respect copyright.PENANAWZ8wUY3T5T
132Please respect copyright.PENANARN2B7p6jqS
132Please respect copyright.PENANAIC1EWbsUOd
「那麼,要不要試著回去看看?」132Please respect copyright.PENANAlGG7TcsLGX
132Please respect copyright.PENANAi88pfH8vO7
「青海先生,請問你是在跟我開玩笑嗎?」132Please respect copyright.PENANALmCEiRZIE5
132Please respect copyright.PENANAia0QpluRuD
雖然早就有預感眼前的這個男人會提出諸如此類的要求,但我還是按捺不住不滿的情緒。132Please respect copyright.PENANAC2Un5laOvr
132Please respect copyright.PENANAgl94670OU1
132Please respect copyright.PENANAyxeDe6oDUL
「喂喂,別這麼嚴肅嘛,我這不是懷疑妳的意思,因為妳看已經過去這麼多年了,也沒見到妳所提到的那些怪物,如果真如那位……嗯,耕一同學所推測的,是為了繁衍,那麼早該入侵我們人類社會,我們也就不能像現在這樣悠閒地坐在這喝咖啡……我說到這妳應該懂我的想法了吧,結城小姐。」132Please respect copyright.PENANAOWWNZM2fnD
132Please respect copyright.PENANAco2gD4CYjx
「請說重點。」132Please respect copyright.PENANA73CreO357e
132Please respect copyright.PENANAnkX0dJL5tp
「嘛,我的意思是,我認為現在神命村內部已經是相當穩定的狀態。」132Please respect copyright.PENANAITjlpup2lE
132Please respect copyright.PENANAkW6oOkeuTg
男人收起一派輕鬆的坐姿,以相當認真的眼神直視著我。132Please respect copyright.PENANAiWm831JnO0
132Please respect copyright.PENANAhM9sGyXSZf
132Please respect copyright.PENANAUVMKru12QX
「最糟的情況,先假設那怪物仍具有攻擊人類的習性好了,我認為妳的村子有可能已經找到抑制或是與怪物共存的方法,詳情我不知道,但至少我能擔保在村子肯定是沒有危險性的。」「那是你一廂情願的幻想,更何況我沒有理由相信如今村子依然存在。」132Please respect copyright.PENANAD4SUx6bKbE
132Please respect copyright.PENANAX3bGi8WiQs
「是嗎?這樣吧,不如妳先看看這個吧。」132Please respect copyright.PENANAuiU2YnLKZx
132Please respect copyright.PENANAn3XSAmdKix
男人用湯匙挖了一點杯底殘留的巧克力醬含著,接著開啟了幾張拍得有些模糊的相片。132Please respect copyright.PENANA63WLli207l
132Please respect copyright.PENANA7cfOsr9wUx
132Please respect copyright.PENANArym526MMrn
「事實上,截至今年為止,神命村的農作物持續有在供應給固定的店家,也就是說,妳的村子仍然存在這點是毋庸置疑的。」132Please respect copyright.PENANAF6vy3rg6FH
132Please respect copyright.PENANAXGl4QNamsf
「───」132Please respect copyright.PENANA1wK2QZ9hCn
132Please respect copyright.PENANAfdp9nFGyC1
相片上所拍到的讓人相當懷念的畫面。132Please respect copyright.PENANAJHCbap2DFB
132Please respect copyright.PENANAWWx53EPyNc
我冷冷地看著相片上白色的小貨車,上面毫無疑問地印著神命村的徽章。132Please respect copyright.PENANA39GbIa4Hqp
132Please respect copyright.PENANAkcoKWMCsfK
132Please respect copyright.PENANAlKPFGifiGq
「既然都有情報了,那要找到神命村應該不是難事,我想並沒有需要我幫忙的地方。」132Please respect copyright.PENANAD7xUxkgZbt
132Please respect copyright.PENANAlivxZKR8tf
「哎,這只是有幾個熟識的同好朋友剛好目擊到,時間地點的差異都非常地大。畢竟不能光明正大地調查,所以我到現在連神命村大致上的地理位置都難已知曉。」132Please respect copyright.PENANAp8WeqKLnvw
132Please respect copyright.PENANAaBGKVtjgJ5
「……」132Please respect copyright.PENANAliyoyUw0dZ
132Please respect copyright.PENANAnRHPxEGMEQ
我雖然裝作在聽的樣子,但其實並沒有打算這麼快告訴他的意思。132Please respect copyright.PENANAbztIcxXOoz
132Please respect copyright.PENANAUluKlhbqGq
因為我可不希望好不容易才提供資訊的記者,什麼都還沒報導就這麼一去不返。以這傢伙滿身的肌肉來看,他絕對是屬於行動派的那類型。132Please respect copyright.PENANA3wgwDYA1tt
132Please respect copyright.PENANAyopglIl9ZO
132Please respect copyright.PENANAbsEUSfy4yr
「結城小姐,我並不想勉強妳,但妳對自己成長的故鄉一點留戀都沒有嗎?」132Please respect copyright.PENANAHOHy8Wn1w3
132Please respect copyright.PENANAPWtsBD1zFl
「……」132Please respect copyright.PENANA7zRONRHuYg
132Please respect copyright.PENANAFb4YvG9Gqx
男人的話並沒有讓我多想,低頭喝了一口已經冷掉的咖啡。132Please respect copyright.PENANAGen5ZD8Z9w
132Please respect copyright.PENANAwl53OXH1G0
132Please respect copyright.PENANAj8XTSWQaSL
「就算真的有好了,但我留戀的人已經全都不在了。」132Please respect copyright.PENANAaacBMi1xwS
132Please respect copyright.PENANA89Row6jrhF
「這話很有意思,妳是如何斷定所有人都不在了呢?根據妳剛才所說的,能確定死亡的只有耕一同學對吧,其餘的同學們可是生死未卜的喔?」132Please respect copyright.PENANA4xD77vZBQD
132Please respect copyright.PENANA9bMs8ioAsC
他積極地勸說著我,但還真給他起到了些作用,因為我確實有掛念的人在。132Please respect copyright.PENANAymTC96cHci
132Please respect copyright.PENANA9zHTLi1qkU
132Please respect copyright.PENANA3qekJdNSHb
「……穗香。」132Please respect copyright.PENANACG5QtFxA00
132Please respect copyright.PENANAkygWfJeK0c
小聲唸出口的名字聽起來就像是生字一樣生澀。132Please respect copyright.PENANApJ1AWh9w0R
132Please respect copyright.PENANAvHEvSOb70g
然而,對面的男人反而激動地拍了桌面,不顧桌上的餐點直接將身體伸了過來。132Please respect copyright.PENANAynRlPmKVXm
132Please respect copyright.PENANATgiLCnel1v
132Please respect copyright.PENANAhNjwifzfMd
「等等!妳提到的人該不會是桃井穗香吧!?太有意思了,那可是現任的教主啊!」132Please respect copyright.PENANAR7JZhp8xVI
132Please respect copyright.PENANANtj6qVEyAM
「現任的──教主?」132Please respect copyright.PENANAnxApki9fhQ
132Please respect copyright.PENANACpos75mA62
這是我第一次對他的話感到震驚。132Please respect copyright.PENANAgjutGef83B
132Please respect copyright.PENANAiXsLtQIPuR
考量到穗香單純善良的性格,那機率幾近於不可能,實在難以與教主的形象重疊在一起。132Please respect copyright.PENANAVVpbg0ena2
