2157年11月25日，晚上十一點，大眾媒體E區（東北亞）538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE7cpprCYB
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0y0JQrakS
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtWYk5J7sB
和里奧出任務的最大好處──所有開銷都能報帳。里奧訂了間舒服的四人房，MIO正在浴室泡澡，李博洋吃著客房服務的宵夜，里奧則坐在落地窗旁的沙發看書。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6ayzNbEQG
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjvSRDvXG1
相較於以前出任務、只能睡自己白色空間的李博洋，里奧就像歐洲人玩家，高宇維真的非常偏心，相對地，里奧也得承擔高宇維陰晴不定的個性。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8EPYhEyaE
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2OFDJVZ7f
「那個，里奧大哥。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBuCBTvhhy
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLg5HtYjgX
「……？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3INmw9eQKW
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIb4YuIdXX
不過，現在的李博洋沒心思想那些。看時鐘的指針越來越晚，他的內心也越來越忐忑，「你身上有安眠藥嗎？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj8RbYAdc2
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaf3j2MYgl
里奧搖頭。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN6y0r2IHb
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNFwcLI6Hn
「那，」李博洋請求：「麻煩你把我打暈。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSkTgUGDIf
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIpNZ5z3Hl
里奧疑惑，「你怎麼了？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtXl4uBpfj
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T963Y2kLO
李博洋瞄了眼浴室，確認MIO不會那麼快出來，才開口：「打從清醒，我每個晚上都睡不好，不停做同樣的惡夢。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADW38ZwCjc
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALawEDKt5v
聽見關鍵字，里奧把書放下，「夢到李仲翔？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnOwCPV622
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV6AOmaQAh
「是，你怎麼知道？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K28YUVBEP
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k9uM7kye5
里奧露出像在思考的表情。李博洋叫他：「里奧大哥？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw3sWtzamZ
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduyPGhpsxX
「在。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86phlxbA5U
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzaqRJJRHd
「想事情嗎？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNSb5484o7
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwchke9YZCL
「嗯。」里奧說：「我在思考怎麼和你解釋。」想了想，「獅鷲是特別的存在。挨了她一頓，潛藏在你們體內的水果塔記憶被喚醒，就像在你們的意識開一個洞，讓被保存在仙境的第一代進入你們的意識、與你們共鳴。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rj7KYmp27
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4JkUow3ob
「但是，」李博洋問：「每個人的共鳴過程似乎不一樣，產生的結果也不一樣。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i4EUhYovQ
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtIUHqbgiE
「看水果塔的執念多深。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLU5g1FiJI
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VtyT0BPn0
「什麼意思？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFzCCsZob3
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bUYIcArsf
「以派翠克為例，他的祖母──『公爵夫人』薇奧拉．雷蒙，死時無牽無掛，派翠克的共鳴過程很順利。」里奧說：「相反，尼可的叔叔──『三月兔』尤里烏斯．史密斯，是典型的麻煩人物。他對艾莉絲體系的恨意，死後變成執念，原本打算取代尼可的意識、搶走他的身體。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFBvG2bjDv
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXKoKLKxa7
里奧聳肩，「不過，兩人似乎達成共識，三月兔最後沒有這麼做，演變成這樣的共生關係，結局也不壞。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvyyqmRmtj
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoufLTRKHBL
「其他人呢？」李博洋再問。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj63JVZk4Ac
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTsBWfKwNm
「葛蕾絲的水果塔，是從『書蟲』凱薩．克里斯托多羅普洛斯轉移過去的，和你們的狀況不一樣，暫不列入討論。」里奧列舉：「謝綠和江云格還在觀察，目前都沒有共鳴的跡象；MIO記憶混亂，和『假海龜』NAGI的共鳴才會受阻；赫密士是最高機密，沒有宇維允許，我無可奉告。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViwL2jnPyI
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIC5TLQC5G
最高機密？李博洋記得很多年前、問赫密士的性別時，里奧也這樣回覆。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JflPl3kJN
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEQIlDA1pL
但他沒有閒暇探討赫密士。李博洋結論：「如果是執念很強的水果塔，又沒有尼可幸運，我們的意識就會被殺死，被第一代水果塔反客為主？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmDZpjfWjd
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrUGz0lsd7
里奧點頭。李博洋的臉色瞬間慘白。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tujs90GDX
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BEUOO5tZV
「『紅心傑克』李仲翔是這樣嗎？」里奧看出他的驚恐和不安，直接問。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2ul3SCmjx
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LwIC1q2O4
「……嗯。」李博洋低頭，「夢裡的爺爺他，全身都是黑色的泥和紅色的血，嘴裡念著可怕的話、朝我逼近……每次作夢，都覺得他離我越來越近。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq5bNJLMQe
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpTOlMXE4G
里奧沒有回話，又露出像在思考的表情，這次李博洋沒有發現。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4qm34j8s3
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQubmHx5IC
「里奧大哥，我……」李博洋問：「我會，就這樣死掉嗎？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HMkjxlVTp
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMpjFy2Bh1
里奧不講好聽話，實話實說：「有可能。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhY2wynVVG
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9nn5RkXWZ
「有辦法阻止爺爺嗎？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXm5fEYRPf
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwOWkynJFa
里奧不知道。他自己也在和「紅國王」拉扯，處於劣勢。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGgiTZ7ncc
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72L54CxKCO
「……我明白了。」李博洋再問里奧：「弟弟也會嗎？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu8qZnR9dy
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBzLaYScmc
「不確定。」里奧說：「我不知道李仲翔會怎麼做。他的執念太強，可能到你就打住，也可能覺得一個不夠、也對晴煬出手。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRqFM6o3CP
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMmA0YEIw5
「如果是那樣，」李博洋拜託：「里奧大哥，一定要請宇維少爺阻止爺爺。我沒有關係，一定要救弟弟。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6hK1pZleG
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpxW8yFtcJ
里奧點頭，沒有給口頭承諾。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4btTkCvj3
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLeJPtfyK2
說煩惱，其實他更煩；說憂鬱，他非常難受；說壓力，他快瘋了。李博洋有MIO，里奧有誰？雪檸、紅鶴、高宇維……昔日的人都離他而去，他只能把情緒往心裡吞。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs1AD6sXpA
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa78558RHJ
「奇怪，MIO怎麼還沒出來？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8zwUPbU6T
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw31vI0U0Dc
結束話題、看看時間，李博洋發現MIO已經洗了兩個小時，泡澡也不會這麼長時間。李博洋敲了敲浴室門，「MIO？妳洗好了嗎？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ5uBS1Zlu
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmf8pLqkPy
「……。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYONF59BpF
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5J50IUPuE
「MIO？MIO？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjWKRTNhCj
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCPByqJSDp
「……。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XD1u1tja7
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf66Oe5Y5oQ
MIO是出了名的不怕燙，洗澡水能把人煮熟。里奧第一時間反應：「熱暈了？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP8hJHCsDj
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs0U0LF8ec
「有可能。」李博洋再敲門，「MIO，我進去囉。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr2hc16NOX
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5jtaNQxHZ
這間飯店的浴室門沒有鎖，而是不透光玻璃、推一下就能打開。正當李博洋準備推門時，裡頭的MIO突然大叫：538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDSweUSAgY
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2WHKX5SDR
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sAOVX5oLj
「不要啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！！！！！！」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Keb9fLmlY
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Sr9gXuNsz
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjF3jp2Gky
兩人嚇一大跳。李博洋趕緊推門，發現裹著浴巾的MIO瑟縮在角落、全身發抖。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBbRbjWF6I
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ov3KeLQ6v
「MIO！」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcvh5TyRbq
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3PrLWSFXV
李博洋衝上前、將人抱在懷中，發現MIO不只戰慄得厲害，體溫也非常低，不像剛洗完澡的人。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5S0wNIBJe
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mOPTMehqt
「不要……不要……媽媽……！」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ95NsIglQ
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd72wLDa6Sy
「MIO！是我，我是博洋！」李博洋知道她又陷入回憶，「妳不是MIA，是MIO！是李博洋的MIO！」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG71tSa6Sbn
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHTUcykYcR
「不要……不要啊啊啊啊啊……！」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb7MkJrTPD
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuE2xnSsS5
黑色的眼睛沒有聚焦，MIO仍然哭個不停。李博洋心急如焚，以往只要抱著MIO、呼喚她的名字，MIO就沒事了，怎麼這次就沒效呢？538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45wuYC9KaR
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuKqSQ5UKS
看著MIO剛才瑟縮的角落，再看看浴室的門，里奧似乎明白發生什麼，開口問：「NAGI死了？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X4G3NIDIO
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJsYuDFbc3
李博洋回頭，「什麼？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDLDP31d8f
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUOwzl8Fpg
「NAGI死了嗎？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdPnyokMlY
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rE63wqweE
里奧不是在跟李博洋說話，而是他懷裡的人。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouK7gEKjDD
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93ah4fp4pm
「……死掉了。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqoC4hwd74
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2EUB2oKwS
MIO用哽咽的聲音回答。里奧再問：「怎麼死的？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq8DNspdwv
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmNdn27eem
「李仲翔……」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMtFD3Cs0v
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3c95An2bO
MIO抬頭，黑色的眼睛除了淚水，還有傾瀉而出的恨意。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5OWKSYvAs
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx4KqdgLdD
「獅鷲也在，但下手的是……李仲翔……！」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEwN7nTbdD
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtJZ6jWQVA
「MIA呢？」里奧問：「MIA在哪？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztwZwg8Nlc
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XJx8hadk7
「媽媽知道自己打不贏，把MIA關在浴室……卑鄙的李仲翔鎖定浴室，想先殺掉MIA。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV4Htn6C9x
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZAn1qxCh1
MIO不發抖了，還是在哭。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFedG5EHgWN
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdOzqc2Crh
「媽媽擋在門前……血從門縫滲進來。每響起一聲鈴鐺，媽媽的血就滲得更多，整個浴室都是媽媽的血，然後……！」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY95kK8Zmd
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6thnUfAaeI
然後沒了，記憶結束。不是忘記，不是失憶。NAGI死後，她的下一段記憶，就是「MIO」和李博洋相遇。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TgpaYpbbh
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyDuljRU9e
「鈴鐺是李仲翔皮帶上的吊飾。」里奧嘆氣，「怪不得，晴煬說MIO的聲音是『鈴鐺』。對妳而言，鈴鐺象徵NAGI的死。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFv4r12LTZ
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnARexosTq
儘管記憶混亂，李晴煬依舊聽見MIO心中的恐懼，也是他厲害的地方。要不是李晴煬昏迷，靠他的解心術，這次任務會輕鬆很多。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QLA06KX30
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLSC34cefK
浴室不是說話的地方。里奧先離開，李博洋幫MIO穿好衣服、帶人到沙發上坐下，三人繼續討論。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyiFEIbGIc
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO1AHn8qfD
「但是，」李博洋想到：「假海龜一死，MIA不是被抓回艾莉絲體系，就是被當場殺死……」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqVV7o5Wek
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MdnMdglsv
里奧搖頭，「都沒有，當年假海龜死後，她的女兒就失蹤了。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUpkgNLJld
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoNmYvTEEg
「這很奇怪。」李博洋點出關鍵：「她被關在浴室，能跑去哪？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIuAnxdUU2
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf2ak18j5U
「也是大家不明白的地方。」里奧說：「當年李仲翔向夏悠保證：浴室空無一人，也沒有窗戶，MIA就這麼憑空消失。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhOiVolkpd
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3qkFR8aHP
李仲翔皺眉，「退一萬步：假設MIA用某種方法逃走，這一百年來，宇維少爺沒試著找她嗎？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4wYtDPvK2
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvxuQEqpl2
「試了，找不到。」里奧回答：「連我們都找不到的人，當年卻被剛成為神與畜的你帶回來，我和宇維至今都不能理解這件事。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjxo4qsuiO
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQNJFrK0Lt
說實在，和MIO相遇的那天並不特別──李博洋去某間寺廟參拜時，發現有個穿和服的小孩在哭，說自己沒有名字、找不到回家的路。因為旁邊有條水渠，李博洋給她取名「澪（MIO）」。高宇維差點嚇死，說MIO和某個小孩一模一樣，必須讓她成為神與畜……538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwogF8ryIYx
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEij0FuSHus
無論如何，他和MIO認識的那天非常普通，唯獨沒有名字這件事不尋常，後來大家知道──MIO記憶混亂，想不起以前的事。問題又回到原點：她到底為什麼失憶？538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCs6wTL77L
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbBCa2qzWL
「我要……見獅鷲。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYDuJg4UMf
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jozsRc0xa
一直沉默的MIO突然說：「媽媽死時，獅鷲是除了李仲翔外、第二個在現場的人，她一定知道些什麼。就算沒有，我要她連同李仲翔的份付出代價。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gEMSUGvBa
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGitTlnWqTS
這趟E區之行不是沒收穫，至少MIO想起最重要的細節──NAGI的死。既然白絃人在現場，找她詢問當年MIA的去向，是最可行的辦法。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzVOKqQiw0
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FhPRhrGKe
「獅鷲人在哪？她的行蹤很難掌握。」李博洋說。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuoW7PCmlA
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT9jR9G1XE
「她在A區。」里奧秒答：「她昨天去了墓園，在十一塔。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCcOJYg6Wm
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFxlSCYyt3
十一塔。聽到那個地方，李博洋的內心「吭鐺」一聲。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeQZP78x94
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvmi37BAH4
「勢必得拜訪李門了。」里奧看他，「博洋，你行嗎？」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rnlWO1U5V
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC02iu5GSQ
「當然……這是任務，沒有不行這種事。」538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l91JvaeTf
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHgES2DIJ2
李博洋逞強笑著。MIO看著他，黑色的瞳孔滿是擔心。538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXryciXdLQ
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIm6dKl6iT
雖然恢復記憶很重要，但李博洋的狀況讓MIO無法放心。她早就察覺，有什麼黑色的、暴力的、絕望的東西正在吞噬他，而且，那個東西會讓她失去李博洋，明明不能讓這種事情發生──538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6Gy83hhmX
538Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqZaeMupKj
里奧卻沒當一回事。8964 copyright protection534ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnyvSk5B1H 維尼
