　　跟著小小一聲噗通，掉入了水裡。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SN0ZKSx2s
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLC8UXwx7A
　　紅色小鬥魚回到了熟悉的環境，牠愣了一下，晃了晃頭，在盛滿的陶瓷湯碗中若無其事地遊了一圈。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6gu5k5F3j
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj77SNUPeo
　　直到看見這一幕後，小卷才終於鬆了口氣。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DE2V8h7g4
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zT2OsPY6Q
　　她癱倒在書桌上，身後是跟著她從街上一路回到房間裡的雨水痕跡，她全身濕透，此時還大把大把地滴著水珠。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY1XcpTYzX
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNydUzMRWe
　　但她已經沒有力氣了，連雙手手指上那些大大小小的割裂傷口都沒有餘力處理。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31nyuB7GHM
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoHKFybQPR
　　當聽見魚缸破碎的聲響後，她什麼也沒多想，就在一地的碎玻璃中將小魚徒手翻了出來，幸好還隔著一層塑膠袋，雖然因從高處摔落所以也已經爆炸開來，但魚隻本身並沒有受到直接的傷害。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexmr9Dyj18
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw65g2OXShf
　　她流淌著滿手的血水，仔細地把所有碎屑摘除後，才趕緊捧著小魚，跑回到家裡。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX32ML0JKs
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeFEnA1fNP
　　雖然這一切，這隻幸運的小魚可能至今為止都還沒有意識到。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cQRfR837I
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J43XYRXXv
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuQ5S93aQ9
　　小卷在桌面上趴了許久，在幾乎已經要昏睡過去之前，手機卻突然響起。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbBjOvwPKF
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPcXsojIHC
　　驚醒了起來，她從口袋裡將泡著水的手機拿出，要接通時才發現，螢幕竟然已經壞了。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEYu1gI2Lt
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMAFd6oyId
　　沒有選擇，她只好先照著習慣往接通鍵該在的位置上按了下去。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDhJ4bnrri
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JUKVUNqJm
　　「唔－－」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ6OJrt4WT
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFzwub6Azx
　　那瞬間，一聲貫耳震腦的巨響從另一端轟炸了過來。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYfyxlIXY0
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV617VxBPNW
　　小卷趕緊鬆手，感覺被人拿鐵鎚重重地從頭頂上砸下，暈眩之中，她聽見手機掉落在地後轉成了嘟嘟聲，接著，便是餘力無存的沉默。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjZ9ES4QpY
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb2hGjIBQy
　　她嘆了口吁，又倒了下去，而在直到幾乎闔眼之前，卻又被全身濕入皮膚底下的寒冷給刺醒過來。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR05S5FF2FA
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFtVZX0A8y
　　於是只好在耗弱的精神狀況下，發著顫抖，半蹲半跪地把自己的身體往浴室裡推進，每一步都像是被極地的冰風暴給掃過一遍。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUuIHiMRko
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwjwbzhD7p
　　衣服雖然濕透得黏附在身上，寒冷又難受，但她沒有先脫下，而是憑著本能直接進了浴缸裡。一轉開水，隨即沖下的冰冷卻與現在的體溫沒有相差太大，而甚至能因此徐緩地感受到逐漸的升溫加熱。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX0wkTmumv
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNfCI0Qnt8
　　幸好並沒有煎熬太久，在身上沖淋的水溫成了一陣暖流。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWecjsI0JfZ
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdvXmuGaC4
　　小卷她瘦弱的身子終於不再受折磨。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSLqEaMxNx
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6Pab9PYGh
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIugUjh3QvO
　　滾滾的蒸氣開始包覆住她，自浴缸中盈溢而出。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp5Q9cBJL0
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5qR4xp2hA
　　她抱著膝蓋坐在蓮蓬頭底下，原本蓬鬆的長髮狼狽地披覆在身上，衣物仍然緊貼著身子，但已經像是暖和的棉襖。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVGEZQD86L
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbTwIJ0XYe
　　閉著眼，她冷靜了下來，恢復了點精神。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ273Ki41sa
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxQrr3F1cO
　　然後發現自己竟然有點想念在失落國度時的海潮。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvwCWW0JDL
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO3yA0gfll
　　那是種沁涼，卻令人安心與習慣的溫度。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeu7zsIpHb
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtizFDpakh
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FAKT75Gmg
　　但就她睜開眼後，才發現自己的胸前，那在舊船港碰觸愛里過後就一直隱約作痛的位置，發出湛藍色的光芒。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DNvzX00x1
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv4wJQs6P4
　　那是一枚圖像文字，記憶猶新的那一幕在此時浮出了海面，在回安教會的小房間裡，身旁是明旭和黎恩牧師，而三人中間，是那份古老的手稿。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe9hA1pCaL
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sluQoJbV5
　　而現在小卷發現，無論是回想中零碎的一瞬之間、或是胸前的這枚千真萬確，自己竟然全部都能夠看得懂。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FCPNzyOgA

　　83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWpthLJWPb
　　「愛里，為什麼妳不願離乾燥的陸地遠去？為什麼仍要呼吸燙人的空氣？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6eYIO4fon
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClIMOiCXcQ
　　當繆紗的聲音從愛里的世界永遠地消逝了以後，許久、許久，終於，又有人願意再和她說話。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQiRtSNpQv
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvQoyKT7mY
　　但她沒有回應對方，一直都沒有。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfhkoudyZi
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQJL2xN0W6
　　她就只是抱著膝，彷彿過去一直以來蜷縮在牆角或被窩裡的模樣，任憑自己漂浮在沒有任何活物的回安鎮上空。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDXpbsN3EC
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcDoHjx00Q
　　天色依舊，即便時間不斷流動，在遙遠的海平面上，那道輕靈地彷彿縹緲幻境的陽光從未移動過照射的角度，就像第一次來到這裡時是一模一樣的光景，似乎時間在這永遠都會是凍結的狀態。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQPJksxeE7
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV2jdcodss
　　這裡的回安鎮很安靜，雖然佈滿海潮侵蝕的痕跡，但少了那些在過去以來時時刻刻折磨著她的吵鬧和驚嚇、聽不見人群的喧嘩、吆喝、討論、嘲笑，聽不見回安中學和車站的鐘聲。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTViuWiH7z
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehHP1zwKR0
　　如果能一直如此地靜謐、能一直浸泡在深海之下，那麼這個世界，她願意待下去。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK0uxmGjbF
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6X9oXdzE7
　　只是就像小卷所說的那樣。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3yTwheSkj
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y8GBjk1TX
　　不，這裡並不是回安鎮。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcopyxNXGIu
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3R6ow4hdx
　　回安鎮也不是這裡。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhy6D3aPd6
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8ciHCmz0b
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkvF9Ozq9u
　　「愛里，是什麼讓妳還眷戀著那個使妳受傷的世界？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdlUXfoqaz
　　83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ446lqkJ9Ya
　　但對她自己而言，內心深處的渴望與真正該屬於自己的聲音，卻彷彿都沉沒在混濁的沼澤之中，無法辨識、無法理解、也讓人拒絕摸索。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFgoQsbxZS
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaUw2S0iTE
　　不過這道取代了繆紗，顯得更加古老且睿智的低語，在愛里的身旁從不停歇地環繞。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwOjjfn9No
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSdZg0cIQg
　　愛里總覺得她似乎已經看穿了自己、看見了泥底那顆遺落的寶石，卻因為不能理解而感到納悶。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YuIjr4on5
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPc1jNqzgL
　　「我不知道。」愛里終於回應了對方。「明明我已經什麼都沒有了，我沒有家人、沒有歸屬，現在連唯一的朋友都沒有了。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWJ0OBvsXT
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrI8mo6CjK
　　「但妳的內心仍然有份執念，那像漩渦一樣禁錮著妳。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms3gqm1onV
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD4gfaBBQy
　　「......是復仇嗎？是他們殺了繆紗，殺了我的朋友......」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwquygGXgWp
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctJu7E4Fnd
　　愛里想起了那一幕，當叉尖從陌生的人影手中直直朝著自己而來時，是繆紗張手擋在了她的面前，使貫穿身體的魚叉只得無奈地停下，在最後僅僅就只是劃開了腰間而已。傷口仍然疼痛，卻已經癒合，留下粗糙的疤痕。置身這片深海之中時，無論是身體或心靈上的創傷，一切都能夠被治癒、被撫去。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxvRWB0I75
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfMIELDjaj
　　甚至是仇恨。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JY9ru2t6Y
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvgpYe7Eqa
　　「不，不是......」她說服了自己，並看向自己曾經染血的雙手。「我已經不想再傷害任何人了。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gQ17ZeJI2
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugeAS72yWh
　　「任何一道傷口都是全新的，愛里。」低語在她面前，憑著海流逐漸成形。「不能取代誰、也不能被誰取代。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpV3tTEe1H
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5hKAn5xZt
　　那輪廓相較於像是公主的繆紗來說，更容易讓人直接感受到彷彿如王后般的氣質。更加華美的鰭翼、更加優雅的儀態。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV5FvAbjhe
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMdgpBL3ro
　　王后來到愛裡面前，俯下身，輕撫著她那悲傷的臉龐。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyXaPcO10a
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufnJcv0KNv
　　「結痂的疤、淌血的創，無論是在海面哪一端，我們所受的傷已經太多、太多了。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS1dxj3y6S
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB3SNln1VS
　　這一瞬間，底下的回安鎮突然成了一片火海。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wSXs1CZRB
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog1KQVddLl
　　就如同昨日在夢中所見到的景象，而亦同的，愛里的手中也匯集了一把鑰匙，在他們的面前，更是出現了那一道透明的巨大拱門。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvVs01xh2P
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktXwxdjyMf
　　接著，尖叫聲如沸騰的滾水般在一瞬之間轟漲了起來。在原本寂涼的街道上躺著一具具的焦屍，無數燒蝕入骨的手臂在建物的破窗之中揮舞，一張張猙獰的臉孔吶喊著慘烈的哀嚎，而此時放眼望去，整座城市已經完全陷入絕望，沒有任何人有餘力拯救它人，每一具生靈都是受害者，每一聲淒厲都得不到回應。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCMlo4KjRr
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHOeCHcumn
　　但王后卻輕輕牽起了愛里的手，幫助她握緊了手中的鑰匙。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytK3pv2Xqx
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aC7iaG77Q
　　「妳可以拯救他們，愛里。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYXnA1CEDn
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrUHg37FlV
　　愛里卻猶豫了下來，在接下來的時間裡，底下的煉獄完全都無法打擾到她，而她便也就只是默默地看著。許久過後，她仍是沒有任何的決心，只是愣愣地問道。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaSCkDmKMx
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeKNgy4Frh
　　「......打開門，讓他們進到我們這的世界嗎？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib328dK3qh
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2tOz5dRE1
　　「不，愛里，不能夠這麼做，深海的壓力會碾碎他們，他們並不屬於大海，我們沒有辦法拯救所有的人。」王后轉過身，和她看往同樣的方向。「但那些和妳同樣的，原本就來自深海、流著我們血脈的子民，妳可以拯救他們。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxkoQQ4XTx
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yGvUuWbgi
　　在那些人之中，已死去的、仍活著的，在有著極為稀少的數量裡，開始點起湛藍色的光芒。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fSKg6RdEe
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlPxGtJAPM
　　「那些人應該要回到我們的世界裡、回到這個屬於他們的世界。」王后轉回過頭，看向愛里胸口中，那顯然強烈得超過其他人的光芒。「愛里，妳可以、也必須要拯救他們，他們需要妳，需要妳帶領他們回到大海裡。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF4h1Lb1pa

　　在巨響過後，鐵皮倉庫燃燒了起來，嚎啕的大雨為這副駭人的畫面所伴奏。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x8S8LxlmO
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViD6z7TNH8
　　巷口外，一列人影冷眼看著，他們每個都裹身於黑底紅邊的厚油布斗篷之中。最中央的是登葛主教，他的眼裡竟然能有發自內心的哀傷。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYJapE4zre
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX09L16ATTK
　　「黎恩的狀況呢？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7MXDELZyU
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHeohxaKFt
　　他迫切地問道。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhfWyUBLKJ
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyZxjyRAfH
　　而接話的是站在身旁，身穿灰白色蓑衣，唯一顯得突兀的老者。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlfYqGqyq5
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR7Pl0DdM4
　　「溫度沒有下降太多，以餘燼來說還是算燙。」老者笑了笑。「怎麼樣？想弄熄她嗎？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMsnbK5ztb
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybdcIjTAbO
　　「這傻女孩，就是希望她別再被扯進來了。」登葛主教悄悄地嘆了口氣。「不必了，這一次就讓她自己決定自己的命運。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CEFJez0Bz
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOnlF5tK3Y
　　「死了女兒都沒見你這麼難過。」老者皮笑肉不笑地瞥了他一眼。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneSCqc8Xbb
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVARBFqkGjM
　　「因為她是英雄。」而他只是在沉默了片刻以後黯然說道。接著，話題一轉。「愛里呢？找得到她嗎？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E6KGhiWs7
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGfgi9yEIc
　　「每一團由我親自點燃的火，火源都離不開我的手掌心裡。」老者抬頭，往暴雨襲來的正上方看去。「就算整篝火都淹沒在海底之下，只要撈上岸，死灰復燃也只是一眨眼的事情。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hrfqIgkzB
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzrsMlLVWx
　　「妳需要多少人？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeCaw6ATpS
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLFt7DCx4x
　　「我自己就夠了。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTkrsZqlTk

　　「妳已經不如以往了。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll6lLiYHG8
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUIAjJClh5
　　「也輪不到你來操心。」老者瞪了他一眼。「有多餘的人手還是留在自己身邊吧，一個手無縛雞之力、只會出張嘴的主教大人。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUvyszZDMP
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwUgCODXqz
　　但扛在登葛主教肩上的沉重並沒有因此而晃動半分，或許早已習慣、或許從未在意過。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR9zPhMoNo
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa45oqKhKnm
　　他開始動身，率領著所有黑斗篷－－那些他的親信們。往回安中學的方向前進。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyw06sVB3a
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jINJGvq4c
　　當所有人都從白簑老者的身後無聲經過，她看了隊列中那根被油布條包裹住的刺槍，露出了期待的眼神。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh2EeNT9lT
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNxlCv1ibG
　　最後，她也動身，往反方向離開。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnAoSp2pgN

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9fj8uxPxo
　　在一切彷彿經過數萬年的凝滯後，下一個秒鐘，先乍現的是瞬間充斥整個空間裡的刺眼強光，緊接跟來有如鋼筋捆束從高處急墜重砸在地的裂腦炸響，響聲連環不斷，持續數秒、至少三、四十聲後才終於停下，而這世界也早已經暈眩成一團混亂。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTODtwV4lM
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8MnVZwe8m
　　明旭以身體護在黎恩之上，在最後一聲響結束以後，他感受到四周開始燃燒。滾燙的熱空氣不斷膨脹，擠壓著他，也纏繞著他。很快地，他已經無法再忍受下去。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaWYmH3Zuz

　　明旭試著挺起身子，卻發現原本小小幾坪的四方空間中，此時放眼望去已經成了一片無際的漆黑，彷彿被吞進了某種怪獸的肚裡，劇烈蠕動的黑色濃霧是擁擠腸道中的肉壁。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFEi5eBtdN

　　眼睛再也無法張開，他緊閉著氣，幾乎要窒息，已經預見堅持不住的那一秒，本能會迫使他鬆開嘴巴大口吸氣，然後，他將會直接在一片混亂的黑暗之中倒地，從此失去自我，以最悲慘的方式死去。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQLjxAFllm

　　－－但在那一刻到來之前，他沒有放棄的打算。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzAw0JiDRS

　　另一隻手在滾燙的地面上以大範圍揮舞的方式摸索著，他希望能夠觸碰到牆面，那麼無論現在的方向如何，就一定能夠做出準確地修正。而且模糊的知識告訴他，牆邊或許會讓環境好上一些。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFlgANKTQO
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzevSECiioq
　　但下一刻，他所觸碰到的卻是某種金屬表面的異物。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsDKkwbJiQ
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrxIONYz0Y
　　那一瞬間過度激烈的觸感令他以為那是已經被烤成上百度的鐵桿，在下意識的反應收回手指後，他發現自己並沒有感受到疼痛，反倒是令人意外地舒緩。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv8WQuEVLJ
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrlTChdAK8
　　他嘗試著再伸手觸碰一次，然後發現那原來是相對而言冰冷至極的棍狀物。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DHitEZH7I
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5t0hJs75s
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckkKA3tXHZ
　　他趕緊撿了起來，在五官都已經幾乎要失去功能的狀況下，代替成為觸感的延伸，並依照原本的方向持續前進。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6c66KxSkA
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT83AAmgQYF
　　一下拉扯、一下橫跨地，體感來說彷彿一輩子過去的時間，桿子末端終於碰觸到了另一種金屬物體，發出清脆的聲響。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36Ypl8ke87
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHTsu4zykl
　　那是鐵捲門，或甚至更幸運地，那就正是大門的門扇。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3hxycox2s
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPheXEi2cUK
　　他再拉了黎恩兩次，直到終於來到金屬牆面的面前，然後，雙腳微微撐起了點高度，並伸手一抓－－83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXbOzccsth
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q0DoJrkfM
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKywtm7648
　　－－門把拉下。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRHIgOOTEp
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINJwVYmNZ7
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WJhE18jaR
　　濃煙瞬間搶在他之前逃了出去，憑藉著底下只剩些微的空隙，他用盡最後的力氣，將黎恩像鉛球一樣大力一拋丟了出去－－83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6nDxiZ1RS
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlUnm70FiD
　　－－雖然那是個絕對會讓人恥笑的成績。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZPJUuFPNj
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMHEFiSFOb
　　但無論如何，至少他們終於到戶外了。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vcyzkygsk

　　冷漠的滂沱大雨並不是為了他們而下，但此時卻成功澆熄了他們身上的熾熱，隨著肉身的冷卻，明旭開始感受到每一吋皮膚都隱隱作痛著。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlkhPKDkrs
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfER8amF3W
　　他拚命地呼吸外頭冰涼的空氣，甚至抬起頭來接著雨水，然後，才發現了手上一直握著的原來是阿財原本用來捕殺愛里的那根魚叉。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutiU4FlsIC
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vSYKytMns
　　待狀況稍微緩和後，他甩甩溼透的瀏海，重新一股作氣將黎恩扛上肩膀，一邊帶上魚叉，遠離火場往巷子外跑。83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOJogJv1Kh
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL5Zwqo55Z
　　「船錨......」黎恩虛弱地喘著氣，但仍拚命地想從嘴中擠出句子來。「快去船錨那......阻止儀式......」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRBiZYdly3
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwob9P2Sfe
　　「妳先安靜。」背離燃燒成束的鐵皮屋，筋疲力竭的明旭找了處毫無意義的屋簷將黎恩放下。「我會去，但妳也不能死。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtn4VTtvrT
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOoVdEw1pu
　　「殺了愛里......一定要殺了她......否則一切都完了......」黎恩的面具已經遺失在火場之中，露出整張臉、模樣狼狽的她，此時正在哭泣。「拜託你......不要讓她感受到痛苦......至少在最後......」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR3bJNpQKV
