我不發一語，看著倒在旁邊的這個已經變成屍體的男人。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E6nRmIN20

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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscYsyqop4q

「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。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gkck5hICK

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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF9cOBbFzN

穗香輕輕地笑了起來。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDRXS92GSa
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRO99B20A3
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eXVvo7BFw

  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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaVdTyinwm
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6KCJpuxJP
  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。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjOiIMLsH5

我說不下去。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ192ga70tBV

200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOeFzyYTwc
  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？200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6lKy7PtAY
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB13kAxUdZ
  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。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IAEZZMyqX

200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFtilwLkdt
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjaTh5K9vc
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUES38VfqC
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviNxkKQJ32

突然間，穗香張開了全盲的雙眼正對著我。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vuWLKhOMK
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnrxYgSWWW
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFctAuvSwz6
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oqi1L3a9D
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxygJLjHjh

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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyzs8wo8OE
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhPS0eQ8ox
但是我對於穗香的話語堅信不疑。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21YcVziXGB

200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHuZqYCm0J
就在此時，我聽到了熟悉的歌聲。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkDp1oyvjr
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYwR3utNDa
旋律是我小時候經常唱給妹妹聽的，來自外婆家鄉的歌謠。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkp9M5MCSA
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWtWLSyoZG
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn0DDaKfwR

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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYV8NKcDpy
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2EaDACbru
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpOaCifMmK
