我不發一語，看著倒在旁邊的這個已經變成屍體的男人。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBZYE3IVEt
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vPtbqBXlk
根據過往經驗，有人在面前死去固然不是很舒服，但意外的是我對於他的死沒什麼特別的感覺。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFDOOGToaZ

我看著眼前這個像是不曾見過面的陌生人。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K6uezQ2Ns
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0LSqaqXtA
能面不改色地將殺這個字掛在嘴邊，代表我記憶裡那個天真的穗香早已死去。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdrcnjwdA1

「事實上，妳投靠神谷夕子以後的紀錄就未曾間斷過，譬如妳考進的三流大學，就職後獲取的微薄薪資，其餘如社交狀況、就診紀錄等等森醫師皆有登錄在冊。」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfEVXPdoAt

「夠了。」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzkDViwAjO

那說多諷刺就有多諷刺，原來我一直未曾逃離過村子的掌控嗎。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56YqMlr9sv

 169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH472ZjORK
「夠了？妳不是充分運用了妳的『特權』，作為神命村唯一的特例在外界生活嗎？縱然資料顯示妳嚴重無法適應而有過自我了斷的念頭，但皆為妳自己的選擇，村子未曾對妳做出任何干涉。」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYXQDC3uja

「冬笑是──神？」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD9ATjtf4c

我簡直不敢相信自己的耳朵。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQr3YQ8Lh3
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG6ELpMg3O
因為一連串錯誤而在植物上進行錯誤的胎兒之夢的冬笑，在我離開村子的這段空白期間，居然被村子信奉為神嗎。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuufEjvGh0

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PoGBgaD0M
我終於忍不住上前抓住她的肩膀，和服的領口被我扯開，露出她那毫無血色的蒼白鎖骨。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeewYcDXqyb

穗香輕輕地笑了起來。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5XkOlqeLE
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNFdB0zURM
這是重逢後她第一次表達身為人類的感情，但我卻不知道那笑容之中究竟包含多少無盡的絕望。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqDrlMFbi3

「其實被選為教主的人是來夏妳喔，再怎麼說妳也是神的親生姊姊。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip3YOsjGcm
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrmdm7BwQs
  既然妳不願意回來，我也只是作為妳的替代，暫時將就用著的次級品而已。所以現在只要妳有意願，隨時都可以頂替我成為教主，但那也要妳願意通過成為教主所需要的儀式才行。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX6rBGhLXV
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FegLkmfdZ
  儀式的部份必須由身處滿是食物跟神滓的坑洞裡面開始。啊，就是在廣場上殺了許多人的那些，來夏的父親當時也在坑洞裡面呢。平常啊，神滓若是沒有接獲神的指示，就只不過是擁有人類劣等的本性，將慾望表露無遺的醜陋生物。」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduGcST9ym3

我說不下去。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXPcoQCBkR

正因為曾經目睹過一次那生物的暴行，所以怎樣都說不出口。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq753QuRhfe

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwVVQ3ZyYo
  剛開始的時候，我可是無時無刻都在詛咒妳，但過了兩三天後就完全放棄了，因為到後來究竟是痛苦還是愉悅早就分不太清楚，這副軀殼的本能反應還真是下賤對吧？169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9KDYC2ZyZ
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEuvCLkMy1
  從那時候起我就感受不太到喜怒哀樂了，少了大部分感情的影響，才能做出對村子最正確的選擇吧？不過，雖然心中沒什麼恨，但至少還記得報仇的具體作法。」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVWopW54Zj
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas2OJtyqEj
「果然村長……是被妳殺害的嗎？」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxF7PmsHEr
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN8TAip4vv
「嗯，我成為教主以後，照著跟我一樣的方式丟進去了。不到兩個小時就發瘋死掉了呢，還真是可笑的老鬼。」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN0JVCH6p6
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj1zTDfvzl
像是想起愉悅的事情似而嬌豔地笑了，那模樣有如帶有劇毒的花蕾。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSG8pwPscO
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkpeWkjOFS
我無法想像過去她所遭受的待遇有多絕望，現在的我對沒有拯救到當時的她一事而感到萬分自責，但卻連分擔當時的她的千萬分之一痛苦都做不到。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6MEEJ1gAT

在外界活得非常痛苦的我，就連回到神命村也找不到任何一點容身之處，連唯一的朋友都變成我完全不認識的模樣。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgBKX1hfDT

突然間，穗香張開了全盲的雙眼正對著我。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZBtXBCSDj
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlBoa8C89O
那是一雙毫無對焦能力，呈現潰散的淡色瞳孔，而我只在人偶上看過這種不帶任何感情色彩的玻璃眼珠。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdgVjHmSOK
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PhJBuxI0x
然而，那卻是跳脫了教主的身份，由十七歲起便已支離破碎到不復存在，那名為桃井穗香的朋友碎片所提給我的建言。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTsl9yfMPC

面無表情的女性，接著在有如機械似地解說完理想鄉運行的原理後，再度閉上了眼睛。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2vogtqDTH
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJg7cw4m9X
……那代表著對話結束的意思。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR6XDcP26e
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf4oKbj3Cy
對於所信奉之神的眷屬，教主不被賦予權限過問，也不被允許發表意見。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjRTRYhpLH
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1et32NZbmA
我向著那無法違背殘忍命運的摯友道了謝，起身準備離開會客室。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaGSk5ih3N

臨走之前，維持正坐在房間裡面的教主叫住了我。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt1RbzO4MM

 169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbwl6jnKD3
「第一是我早已讓神滓回歸神的懷抱，所以儀式早已不復存在。第二是那晚我並不在廣場上，把我留在這裡的人正是妳們。」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uqFq69mzT
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWmIQirWZg
謊言的告解到此結束。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfOvSpW9nz

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuftcR9WTIP
沒有地圖或指南針，單憑五感就想要前往理想鄉，在旁人聽起來簡直就是癡人說夢。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEE6zeT2mk
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R802VY51t
但是我對於穗香的話語堅信不疑。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7mZe3WlPl

她說，只要順著歌聲前進就會抵達，她所棲息的那個世界。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEFVTTVw4D

踏上旅途時我記得還是白天，只不過一眨眼的時間就來到了傍晚。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfm4ZNC6fB
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsu4JelKMg
就在此時，我聽到了熟悉的歌聲。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HUM2R8c1M
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViFB00mvbO
旋律是我小時候經常唱給妹妹聽的，來自外婆家鄉的歌謠。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvt4cWRth3
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv6vRPxTwr
我順著歌聲的方向，中途因為受夠了難走到不行的皮靴，我乾脆直接脫下來丟掉。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5tayrqCTG
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bdWAS7blZ

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzVWNexUNG
像是蒲公英般的孢子輕輕漂浮在四周，微弱的橙白光芒順著她呼吸的節奏而忽明忽暗。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXDwKPDdj0
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xfGQx8PSI
在少女的腿部的位置附近，有著一個個如同卵般的人形物體，以深埋其中的頭部與她相連。那就是理想鄉的構成基礎，將所有人的腦部串連起來，進而匯集成為一個永恆的夢世界，這類似網路的原理讓我聯想到過去曾在書上看過的某種魚類。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhxHKn3Ra3

……突然回憶起當初我對耕一所說過的那些話。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡravCAAOA4Y
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLuhLs3VKV
如今已邁入社會多年的我，早就喪失了那份對未來充滿著憧憬的自信。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRqwK63ldp
