2154年12月24日，晚上七點，黑教堂803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXQz0R66mK

主辦人──薩拉凱爾教教主致詞後，晚宴在七點準時開始。現場準備許多珍饈佳餚，世界最知名的樂隊在前方演奏，機器服務生送來各式各樣的美酒。原本以為是嚴肅的宴會，沒想到氣氛活潑，像屬於貴族的派對。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxnaLxfEKS
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLgItngFDq
「……。」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDflu1Tdd3
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWXMqfg3cM
不過，他現在很尷尬。謝賢讓他和謝綠獨處，顧爾不能在隨侍在旁。李晴煬和謝綠靠在牆邊，不知道要說什麼。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp6f4lg71x
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4iDorN86O
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxUlmpQy9I
「觀自在菩薩。行深般若波羅蜜多時。照見五蘊皆空。度一切苦厄。舍利子。色不異空。空不異色。色即是空。空即是色……」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtoPHLcInJ
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcqMOYQCRu
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBjpSBcKpz
和晚宴氣氛很不相符，他竟然從謝綠身上，聽到和尚誦經的聲音；因為太另類，李晴煬對她留下深刻的印象。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP9OLWRCq3
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomRduEcEOc
而且，謝綠很漂亮──李晴煬無法否認，眼前的女孩讓他十分著迷，尤其是草綠色的眼睛。她渾身散發一個「靜」字，小小年紀，彷彿看透很多事。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GocmwPlgW
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IQPMD8jI3
「你是第一次參加？」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7kJgTFcFU
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCIvdUWjZQ
李晴煬不知道怎麼開話題，謝綠率先開口，打破尷尬的氣氛。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA3uzg3oVF
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEcfZETYWi
喝著專為小孩調配的無酒精雞尾酒，李晴煬回應：「嗯。」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCuEFQoVmc
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDds5EJ59ZO
「之前為什麼缺席？」謝綠單刀直入地問。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVgWm8YLLI
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHo1xUowlS
「討厭人多的地方。」李晴煬簡單回答。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRcgck5wbs
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRwe994NIZ
「今年又為什麼來？」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw6GXGKcDp
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJOzIVTgNC
「見見世面。」李晴煬聳肩，「不能一直窩在家裡。」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdleRX7t1e
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHq2C93R2g
謝綠沉默。李晴煬覺得剛才的氣氛不錯，換他問：「妳呢？每年都來？」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh93j8pP39I
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv83DaxMe33
「八歲開始，這是第三次。」謝綠沒有逃避他的問題，老實回答。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAJVlYaaq8
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AMuxDPRaR
「為什麼？」李晴煬看著謝綠厭世的臉，「妳不像喜歡這種場合的人。」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCCMIPUXKf
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMlFIMqxSQ
「還能因為什麼？我是被拖來的。」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYGQiUxcm3
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEHGXPdRSm
李晴煬聽見謝綠嘆氣的聲音。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7D7A5w3c6
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCDMY870xh
「在場的人，妳都認識嗎？」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iLgjdG9L5
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9rBsbjOyK
謝綠一定知道十大家族的事，李晴煬決定問問，以免氣氛又變尷尬。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDoBTneVeR
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwXlG59esf
「大部分知道。」謝綠看向他，「你都不認識？」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsYBlaW8pa
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWkrKGG7Fc
李晴煬點頭。謝綠沉默幾秒，「好吧。」帶李晴煬去角落，好一次看到全部的人。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ880bTfLHpQ
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNCbSWRCPO
「我一直很想問。」前往角落的路上，謝綠上上下下審視他一番，「李門的穿衣品味都這麼怪？」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswfE7bozxe
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk2CNOtL9H
李晴煬想回答「妳以為我願意嗎？」但不像自己會說的話，改用挑釁的語氣：「怎麼？本少爺這樣不好看？」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUWnVh8pXr
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtN7X8BeDR
「嗯。」謝綠秒答，補了句：「活像個娘炮。」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4R7ZzvePo
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxXww9VFPK
「娘炮」兩字像一隻箭，狠狠從李晴煬胸前穿了過去。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KaqhGWOHZ
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHxg0BUnVN
「妳的穿衣品味才奇怪！哪有人古裝下面搭短裙！」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpKIQUrmrC
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbqCXFbN2n
「比較好活動。」謝綠哼了一聲，「我父親都沒說什麼，你管那麼多幹嘛？」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HTuE1bhAW
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiOpBdaui3
「妳……！」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRLBO8jpay
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwFD3iV3sB
「啊，這兒就行了，要從哪一家開始介紹呢……？」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTciqFUNpf
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcYag8v3OT
謝綠規避掉話題。雖然表情不多、年紀又小，但她講話很不客氣，顯然沒在怕李晴煬。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u4L1JZ360
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6GTIpRtVl
李晴煬撇了撇嘴，順著謝綠手指的方向看去──那群穿醫師袍的年輕人。李晴煬率先說：「希波克拉底一脈。」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeykAc0AZhI
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYbOFTrui4
「你知道？」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWwDnf4P72
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4s3MXj0IF
「聽來的。」李晴煬說：「詳細不清楚。」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcolkmeu4Q
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9FEistRPC
「嗯，看來我高估你了。」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurxnJk2NII
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNSmn5Ll7g
李晴煬的嘴角抽動幾下。謝綠不理他，專心介紹：803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4AE270fzs
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKTirDRRRE
「希波克拉底一脈，十大家族第九，擅長領域是醫學，家族成員都是醫生、藥劑師、法醫、醫檢師……全世界的醫院，背後的經營者都是他們。」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIEyxsSDUW
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGjUfBDl6Y
謝綠雙手環胸，用一種非常帥氣的姿勢，靠在牆上。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZuWcQUHF2
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD74ca3nps
「傳說他們的家族成員，全是古希臘時代的醫學大師──希波克拉底的後代。但年代久遠，沒有統一姓氏，才用祖先的名字統稱。」謝綠說。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1USduZtHJh
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3ALStTslT
「他們平常都這樣，穿醫師袍晃來晃去？」李晴煬問。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sSo5YMZTE
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa59Cl2jGs
「每個家族都有自己的穿衣風格。希波克拉底一脈以醫生為榮，醫師袍是身分的象徵。」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSdLp5nG7q
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFhWBT2DBc
謝綠的眼睛改看向另一群人。李晴煬順著她的視線看去──把滾筒衛生紙裹在身上的貴婦。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSt7FQPgEr
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo4CshFkR7
「雷蒙一家。」謝綠說：「十大家族第八，時尚業的壟斷者。」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4c7jGn2fQ
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2lavOgulS
「時…時尚？」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkzDn4rdHc
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qrHrVQ4tm
李晴煬挑眉。不只捲筒衛生紙，有人的髮型像花椰菜，有人的洋裝像菜瓜布，還有一個女人的披肩是黑色垃圾袋。時尚真難懂。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F0kQO6M1U
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvgAJj9fBg
「今年算收斂了。」謝綠看出李晴煬的疑惑，告訴他：「我去年，看過把色鉛筆插在頭上的。」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIkL9KIlmY
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUaQRLxiJW
「穿這種衣服還能笑……要是本少爺，恨不得死了個算了。」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdUKOhzgZw
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtGSsADfrx
李晴煬說完，聽見謝綠發出輕輕的笑聲。沒想到她會笑──李晴煬心想，心情不自覺好起來。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJlkaKdMvl
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs0HnGcvnC
「雷蒙一家旗下的品牌，從服裝到飾品，還有專門培訓藝人的經紀公司；另外，他們家的物流技術也很創新，不少零售店搶著和他們合作。」謝綠故意補充：「而且，他們家的人都很漂亮。」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPhbw2hxgC
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0cQ1cVzIJ
「……不把那身恐怖的衣服脫掉，本少爺無法體會。」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1AX2vOMH1
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpidTfxNVx
視線離開雷蒙一家，李晴煬改看向另一群──正在會場中央表演魔術、射飛鏢、拋彩球的馬戲團人士。晚宴的氣氛之所以活潑，都拜這群小丑所賜。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8mpsz4uje
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cX4I4k2Xh
「那又是誰？」李晴煬問謝綠。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnKeYnXFPZ
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fEzry3odL
「史密斯馬戲團，十大家族第七，慈善事業。」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcIfcbKLFi
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe9aK1HJP1
謝綠說完，其中一名史密斯變出一堆彩色氣球，逗得周遭人笑聲不斷、表情又驚又喜。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqNgBsaFfz
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ687OSZjjjO
「史密斯居無定所，他們在全世界巡迴演出，收入都拿去照顧弱勢，是聲望很高的家族，但也因為這樣，他們不是很富有。」謝綠說。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyDV4sYkEv
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKKnseKtGj
「聽起來很偉大。」李晴煬附和。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1Sk2ukpXZ
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgmD07EOhb
「坦白說，他們挺奇妙的。聖誕晚宴是史密斯少數參加的活動，其他正式場合，一概不參加。」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGfZnModZ9
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyhBQRuS9S
介紹完，謝綠的手指向另一群人。李晴煬剛好想問，畢竟，他看那群光速戰士很久了。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1yQKvU2R8
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcd9DDGLqk
「白與金，統稱Platinum。白家壟斷科技，金家壟斷軍火，兩家因為婚姻關係結合。十大家族第五和第六，是非常強的軍火聯盟，絕對不容小覷。」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo93Mz1uXM
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMawuQMo1D
李晴煬對他們的服裝更感興趣。謝氏像武俠小說的角色，Platinum則是遊戲，會發射高速激光的那種。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K3GoTb65g
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fApSB7DPQ
「他們漂浮在空中？」李晴煬踮腳尖，試著看清楚。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hAVf3Q6j8
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe0DMOvVDs
「嗯，他們腳底的投影圖騰，那是漂浮裝置。」謝綠說。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW1gnT9AHR
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdsqtbgCbR
「背上那又是什麼？翅膀？」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN3ZOn2L2u
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn4dtGNHMv
「那也是投影，圖案會隨他們的情緒變化……你看，變成橘色了，那個人現在心情很好。」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HXHgE3142
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbztKakf2xm
Platinum的穿衣風格非常前衛。移動時，兩腳懸浮在空中，衣服還會飄起來，浮空時的畫面很好看，但科技感太強，給人的感覺很不真實。明明是人類，卻把自己弄得像機器人。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbwk6DwZD8
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxHyzmVPF9
「黑色教袍的是薩拉凱爾教、十八世紀貴族打扮的是李門、像從漢朝穿越來的是謝氏……這些你都知道了。」謝綠把胸前的手放下來，看著李晴煬的臉，「還有不知道的嗎？」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgONFQpJY3
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm3Tzy0xDc
「妳怎麼只介紹八個？」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxW0ZnqbvW
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFIaSKYv7s
李晴煬發現，前後的高宇維與夏家，謝綠都沒有說。聽完他的問題，謝綠意味深長地陷入沉默，沉默持續了一陣子。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26JUA9ALDl
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4UUehxPMf
「沒介紹的兩家，都沒有出席。」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVz225l9za
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxtvYAQ83b
不等李晴煬問，謝綠就告訴他：803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTtyvioI88
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoHzSl9JQ9
「夏家……十大家族第十，是非常奇怪的家族。他們比高宇維還神秘，沒有人知道他們在做什麼、裡面有誰，連他們住在哪都不知道。」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzqMU8Bb0a
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbUvpsYZ50
「這樣也算十大家族？」李晴煬立刻問。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeardx1PK7m
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXujwB2aE59
「我也不知道，但神秘歸神秘，他們也沒做什麼。」謝綠聳肩。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkfn3B2pCc
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeksnToVZM2
「高宇維呢？」問完夏家，李晴煬再問另一個缺席者：「他這麼跩，這種場合都不來？」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS4JSYeRog
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddGDSJsV3l
「別說『這種場合』，高宇維連自己的活動都不出席。」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTmmxZyIQU
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TVNwM5nDy
謝綠說，似是對高宇維的缺席見怪不怪。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64K3hBcixP
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DDSK7bGaV
「我不知道怎麼說，高宇維好像不喜歡其他家族，想和我們劃清關係，可是──」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lFP0b9CBM
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4R5yF7JwP
謝綠把話停在這兒。她的眼神突然變得十分銳利、似乎在警戒什麼。李晴煬順著她的視線看去，赫然對上一雙眼睛，嚇得他後退兩步。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWTsN5ITBe
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G0iQQgjAv
「……。」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41FVvqYl9r
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB8DnAYOto
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRfA9ewvYa
一名白色頭髮的男子，正從遠遠的地方看著他們。803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP89PCTprS
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9uP5qitck
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGIBwLHYqc
男子是整個會場，唯一穿著正常西裝的人。他離李晴煬和謝綠很遠，但筆直的視線彷彿要把刺穿。李晴煬不自覺感到緊張，旁邊的謝綠瞪了回去，跟李晴煬說：803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx97HUgqVb
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasLAKVM34J
「可是今年，高宇維派他的親信來了。」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmGAWjBJ5s
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsztpRl98CS
謝綠不敢掉以輕心，就怕一不留神，男子會做出不利她的舉動。李晴煬問謝綠：「親信？」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2foCDh6gM
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOFwL9PsxR
「對，親信──你聽過神與畜吧？他是第一幹部、地位僅次於高宇維。」803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisZhg7sCt3
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmCusHV9L2
謝綠的雙刀已經蓄勢待發。她一手握住刀柄，說出那個禁忌的名字──803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJPRUNUmpu
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMtQJK99DX
「里奧．懷特。」8964 copyright protection799ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdISJliaty 維尼
