香港，某私家醫院的私人病房中。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlHVHeCHaF

潔白病塌上的躺了一個正在安睡的花髮老翁。若不是床頭的心率機顯示的心電圖仍有波紋，大概以為他已經死掉。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L6geiwIOa
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IURSeMKNg
陳啟光，已經七十有三。他是香港地產界的老行尊，全港富豪榜的頭三名，更是多間建立多間孤兒院的善長人翁。他白手起家，擁有神一樣的經商技巧。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3Ubqnnalv
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpYHKPVdUx
盡管如此，人類不是永垂不朽的神明，注定敵不過生老病死。陳啟光病重，需要動心臟手術。由於陳啟光年事已高，即使已經找來醫術高明的醫生，存活機會依然相當渺茫。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrI1iavU6G
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHZIkjnK6b
在家人的苦口婆心的勸說下，陳啟光接受了動心術的建議。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEaRJYO3pT

小時候的聖誕節，這三姊弟滿心童真，曾經一起蹲在窗邊，烏黑的眼晴從狹小的窗戶窺探繁星，祈求聖誕老公公騎著鹿車出現，然後爬進來送他們鐵皮公仔和洋娃娃。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYYWwC8UNh

打開紙箱，裡面放了幾件玩具，一個「鐵人廿八」鐵皮公仔，一個「幪面超人一號」面具和一個椰菜娃娃，墊底的還有幾張泛黄，用畫紙摺成的聖誕卡。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxruDniRPx

「這些玩具是他們小時候的聖誕禮物。想當年我還扮過聖誕老人逗他們開心呢！父母和孩子是贈予和回饋的關係。我買他們喜歡的玩具，他們的聖誕咭是我的回報。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOEabwpZgp

「當然，我是一個商人。假如我買一件玩具花幾百塊，那他們一張聖誕咭就值一千塊，至於他們的笑聲嘛，每聲當一百塊好啦。雖然他們長大後就沒有再歡笑過，但說到底我這個父親還是賺了。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VeDjhkyIT

奧托蘭姆的藏書廳位於學院南塔的頂層，挑高十米，分成兩個樓層，大拱頂玻璃天花讓天空的自然光灑下，使它看起來格外典雅。圓形大廳擺放一張張長桌椅，高不見頂的書架包圍大廳，扇形的排列和密密麻麻的書海井井有條。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIItXTylTBa

永遠保持客觀，不能在接觸目標的過程中使其惡化。這是身為靈魂駭客的第一條戒律，亦是最重要的戒律。每個職業都有自己的禁忌，道理就像做殺手不能出賣委託人，混黑道不能勾二嫂。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU9rDbRHtz

入侵陳啟光靈魂的心魔名為壽妖，屬於D級心魔，特別喜歡患重病或絕症，像陳啟光這種病人。他們像寄生蟲般榨取宿主的生命力，同時使宿主的求生意志消沉，有的宿主更因此想歪，在疾病的折磨下自尋短見。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCoo4RXz32

壽妖在眾魔中實力不強，亦不會在宿主身體具象化，使其變成魔物。可是，在靈魂迷宮吸取生命力後的壽妖實力倍增，而宿主求生意志愈低，他們的力量愈強大，死纏心之時計不放，是調整師頭痛不已的心魔。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZLMpNZVT8

267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eI0B9aCbj
黃嘉明移開視線：「當然。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRdvFAcggb
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXe4INJgQW
「好吧。在找甚麼？有院長可以幫忙的事嗎？」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyw4XSJmek
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPNOA9UoZg
「我在找關於『調整術』還有魂器的資料⋯⋯」黃嘉明含糊其詞。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlAfhAZV4u
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISXcN0b68W
「『調整術』，是跟靈魂駭客有關吧？嘿嘿。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bI1Jhluu9
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Pjh57mq54
黃嘉明沉思兩秒：「我想印證自己某種想法。不過，找翻遍這裡的典籍，始終沒有我想要的答案。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdjDl6PlZB
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1bfFo3A1f
「答案？」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00qYAQWB6m
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWBQgYDaaN
「例如把人類帶進靈魂迷宮。我知道那是禁忌，只是隨便說說而已，哈哈。」黃嘉明聳聳肩。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lFioJlbpA
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu87tNFs8m
「確實，靈魂駭客的約則中禁止將普通人帶進靈魂迷宮。這裡沒有你想要的答案。」紐卡遜壓下聲線，古怪地笑道：「院長我剛好有一本舊書，或者有你想要的東西，嘿嘿。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ49PBuO9xb
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57ocqkzxSZ
「真的？」黃嘉明兩眼發光。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IY6x1qD2g
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5UhYYi188
「嘿嘿嘿，要換個地方，到我的辦公室喝杯酒嗎？」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa4AvKEjYf
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOd6gVmvip
黃嘉明聞言，夾緊屁股：「我不賣色，絕對不賣菊花！我以前在蘭桂芳聽過這些對白不下百次。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Uxe0OjLVA
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA8ORyyLW5
「你去死吧，怎會變成這樣弱智啊？」紐卡遜的金鴿手杖叩落黃嘉明額頭。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2vUJ92J2x
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzIteEyDA0
「院長？我不是弱智。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvaa5zDPQr

院長室燈光柔和，壁爐的火光搖曳，在古老的灰牆上拉出兩道長長的影子，整個空間傳出陣陣的煙醺肉乾、烤棉花糖還有波本威士忌的香氣。唱機的指針劃動平滑的黑膠唱片，披頭四的輕快歌聲繞樑不散。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1ph3DECoV
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHXdIEGnrX
紐卡遜院長很喜歡約翰藍儂，就連圓形眼鏡也是同一款式，黃嘉明暗忖。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3EZ7ntWUQ
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vms6w9UpY
黃嘉明第二次來到這間擺滿西洋古董和書籍的院長室，上一次已經是半年前，在這裡跟蘭鐸教的修道院學生對招，敗得一塌糊塗。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwbFpZ0lfB
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmEHlsJzlB
事實上，奧托蘭姆的學生也沒有幾個參觀過院長室，黃嘉明卻對此不以為然。要是讓其他人知道大概會犯眾怒，先被脫清光，然後吊在奧托蘭姆的旗桿上示眾洩憤。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLuElLFQMd
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqogxRMRpRt
這時，黃嘉明已把陳啟光的事情和盤托出。紐卡遜院長本來就清楚他的事情，而且直覺告訴他，這個慈祥老人肯定可信，擁有跟團長一樣的氣質。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKYB50NqJ0
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLCLPrC2MY
紐卡遜院長拿著一本泛黃，書角被蟲蛀掉，用麻繩當橡根紮住的手札。他翻開手札，遞給黃嘉明，後者猶豫接住。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIGglhmKtI
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzLW60HKMG
當黃嘉明看到紙上的墨水字時，瞳孔驟然收縮成針，思緒像掉進大海的鉛塊，一時間沉沒在其中。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzMWFiWEO0
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxcGTScY6V
「無錯無錯，就是這樣。難怪『調整課』沒有教，正常調整師都不會『讀心術』⋯⋯」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwMYfM0hM0
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbHXwgnNZ4
「對對，原來還有這種方法嗎？」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V7fOLKKH2
「我的想法果然沒有錯。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDVYbBW7Xu
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWXj5s0orA
黃嘉明一邊呷威士忌，一邊翻讀手札的內容，讀得津津有味。他的眼眸中閃爍興奮的神采，像鍊金術師找到賢者之石的鍊成方法；篤信有外星人的科學家發現真正的外星人；考古學家找到恐龍遺骸。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYGS7Lw2IW
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh0g18Q4Fx
這本手札闡述了「把人類帶進靈魂迷宮」的方法！267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaQcolNI8E
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCsv1KSZJW
跟黃嘉明苦思出來的理論一樣，而且手札所寫的方法剛好踏在灰色地帶上，沒有觸犯靈魂駭客的約則。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTpWYJa8F4
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHi3yk2DMA
不是從軀殼扯走對象的靈魂，而是讓他們進入夢境，然後成為他們的「夢之橋樑」連接至靈魂迷宮。當對象醒來後，最多感到疲倦，並不會有生命危險。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEotwlsmTg
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpkibxoJg7
而且，這個方法躲過法議廳的探測，倒了免卻不必要的麻煩。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9CGazxKcu
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aXUCiQ73V
這是一本禁書。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaK1HAPy6X
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BzJhlMfZM
「這本調整師手札是我故友的遺物。他是一個學者，專門鑽研一般魂師不會去思考的地方。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn07LNnS2e
「也是，正常魂師都不會打算把毫無戰鬥力的人類挾進靈魂迷宮啦。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprjyJOw43j
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVv2xd29cl
「話說回來他跟你很相似，一樣不正常，哈哈。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjcDS7Kni3

「相似？哪方面？」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZqb3NhW0K
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwdw8pWqPm
「擁有跟你一樣，連魂師都會吃驚的神秘能力。你稱之為讀心術，對嗎？」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d5kbmoWhz
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9tbaLzSkr
黃嘉明聞言一顫，聽到對方沒有發現自己是古魔，暗自鬆一口氣。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2OnmiCc8e
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I4RH6w5Lp
「這個手札像為你而設嘛，現在交由你保管。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX9KRSTobs
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NWQiBzus5
「院長，你不問我要讓誰進入靈魂迷宮嗎？」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPA6pVsp1l
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgNHZL7DCD
「我相信我的學生。我只問一句好了，你會用在正確的地方，對吧？ 」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDt5JyNzAo
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQU1IjOKCD
「一定會。」黃嘉明重重點頭。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGUgWWanDL
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaChJRka7Z
「那就足夠。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsCSYI8BYq
「院長，我還有最後一個問題－」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D8mxKDzkh
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd9l53p3AR
「我想想。唔⋯⋯你想問關於魂器的事情，手札的作者是不是同樣喚出一把『槍』，對嗎？」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3HZ3E05pw
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAHk4Zbfvg
「院長都會⋯⋯讀心？」黃嘉明震驚。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuSSKDSZP8
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH2tamLMAt
「我靠的只是經驗。我那位故友是一位調整師，雖然性情乖僻，不過魂刃依然是劍。你的魂器可是學院最近的熱話，連導師都暗中議論紛紛。洛奇那個小子本來滿心期盼把劍術傳授給你，現在失望透頂了，哈哈哈。那是聞所未聞的魂槍啊！」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwSRorW9k2
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD8I0oGWOc
「史上最廢的槍。」黃嘉明補充。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNN63ebfDg
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rjmHUh9Qg
他喚出古董銀槍，朝天發出「呠」的臭屁聲：「看吧。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKEoxwL04m
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcFRukeI3q
紐卡遜院長淡笑，出手快如閃電，瞬間抓住黃嘉明的手腕，讓槍管指向自己的眉心。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRnLXepgTQ
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhS5WWQpo7
「院長！」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh2wX2qtAT
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxd0EPy8kc
「開槍試試看。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqZp7UMALw
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgt9XgeBUQ
黃嘉明臉白如紙，猛然搖頭，眼前閃過一幕幕鮮紅的畫面，震耳欲聾的尖叫聲在他腦袋轟炸。他的食指傳來刺痛感，痛楚沿食指攀至他身體每一條神經，每一粒細胞。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXKYvnhyzm

「夠了。」黃嘉明讓魂槍消失，深呼吸。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRLi6MaX9n
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kzRsTOp4S
「行不行，想不想是兩回事。你應該比誰都清楚，你魂器為甚麼以這個形態顯現。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTXpoY57jm
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cKSUIB03G
「我開不了槍，而且轉輪裡面空空如也，甚麼都沒有。」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWVLK1jglb
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wNKpyp8gi
紐卡遜院長饒有意味地指著清空的酒杯。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10gb8Ccthi
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAYijofzTn
「空空如也，才能裝下萬物，容得下善和惡，不是嗎？」267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5rTAEnqlk

黃嘉明默默咀嚼紐卡遜院長的話，直至告別時都參透不出紐卡遜院長話裡的意思。267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo8quMmx4f
