我不發一語，看著倒在旁邊的這個已經變成屍體的男人。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjSiexs6LK
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JGoq6ZlHi
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2rKd5Yahn

我看著眼前這個像是不曾見過面的陌生人。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo825EWebQk
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIsIEfsdwO
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgxbzJzlRc

「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。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi43lUWzUc
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX04XqElsT
「夠了。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWVJxurs5s
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl4u8CdZnS
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2eVI12xVl
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtuGUVWBHL
 267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6m4Hrbt8b
「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。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3w3b3cEWK

「是呢，妳還不知道吧？因為妳的親生妹妹──結城冬笑，是我們神命教所信奉的神。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNpQwEYShs

「冬笑是──神？」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLbolBT7fb

我簡直不敢相信自己的耳朵。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUtmfEEEhY
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyTXFDjtkC
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSOV40wuAR
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ypzKZn6vP

「我根本聽不懂……再說妳到底為什麼會變成這個樣子？回答我，穗香！」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGwFjpkNj5
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicTdxYLoh0
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MeQfHLBBe

穗香輕輕地笑了起來。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfCWPzvR5h
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0Fc4XxJ61
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CTH1w2wzP

267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnWIvRR0eT
  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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ift1f1X8Z
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BdpjTb0Kj
  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。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF2BcLhJ8h

「穗香，難不成妳──」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi1FVGsJin

我說不下去。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteOd0SM1wg
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM603pNEi6
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuHSGoH1zV

267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx0Mge757k
  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？267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZBzEga9fe
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugnTWbTePk
  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。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd7yRavIp8
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXridIYX38
「果然村長……是被妳殺害的嗎？」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClYfmcLD3n
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H81GtqA2R
「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。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIzLrybmkA
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujlKfhErzr
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgni0jOrHNZ
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2sTm4gEMW
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbvkHqWEdl

我幾近崩潰地嘶吼。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKdYdiMhXJ

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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTteRP24t1m

突然間，穗香張開了全盲的雙眼正對著我。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G7EZscST6
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvW0CLEDfF
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPMdSunPNF
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwHs1EC08P
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9e5d7wB2r

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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyOTHQwkkG
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtex589TqV
……那代表著對話結束的意思。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAaZdpzOsP
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OWdKCuLc0
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zE4E8Ykyl
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfts2s32aLY
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75SS6b85Up

267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC0JR7AxL3
臨走之前，維持正坐在房間裡面的教主叫住了我。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz80NmJKUCK

 267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEoFK0LaCe
「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。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO51ZDxaIV
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNtcLk3h2O
謊言的告解到此結束。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGlpRe4FzK

糾結於未經開發的地面上的樹根洋溢著生命的喜悅。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ160ALO8cH3
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkZvxOMYA4
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmF44G8K4h
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhXbXozM0y
但是我對於穗香的話語堅信不疑。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY2iZ9mTtQ
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDREne66hD
她說，只要順著歌聲前進就會抵達，她所棲息的那個世界。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFEQpph5wk

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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukYonFNkMm
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyYfoYvsUG
就在此時，我聽到了熟悉的歌聲。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VCTbef2uY
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7uaKadQVT
旋律是我小時候經常唱給妹妹聽的，來自外婆家鄉的歌謠。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4goz6eiR7s
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFctayEsGT
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2ZcEOck4K
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH19CDWcCTj
最後在撥開了幾道比人還要來得高的樹叢後，我終於來到了她的面前。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgdSRGK2df

視野三百六十度全都是漫天飛舞的雪花。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc35oudM4Z
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiks4WKgD0
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5f9Nkf468
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhijc1uzjJA
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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC8cEzosfx
 267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL2bi4MsXC

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。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHiG8vePHc
