父親死後，史密斯列車好久沒這麼安靜了。奧斯卡跪在一具黑色的棺材前，雙手十指交叉，低頭禱告，希望他的兄弟能安息。706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYldU4irEaM

五天前，泰勒的屍體被人發現。他跪坐著、手裡握著貫穿他身體的刀，看起來像自殺。史密斯所有人悲痛欲絕，奧斯卡也暫停計畫，優先處理泰勒的後事。706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZeYOk3t10
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw4EOPu9Q6
雖然行駛在大西洋下的海底隧道、無法為泰勒下葬，但史密斯列車有幾具特殊棺材，能防止大體腐壞；還有設計成教堂的車廂，能為死者禱告。因此，奧斯卡不擔心泰勒的後事，而是泰勒的死因，他覺得很不對勁。706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR3KW3Q8Ez
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0YELdm79Z
那天中午，泰勒跟他討論計畫，看起來毫無異狀。奧斯卡相信泰勒是被殺死的，但兇手是誰？他們行駛在海底隧道，與世隔絕，犯人只可能是其他史密斯。想到這，奧斯卡便睜開眼睛、停止禱告，思索哪位弟妹的可能性最大。706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuulydphCzl
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMwJOTwbkT
「奧斯卡哥哥。」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNpSGVqjsj
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjwsXjK4e2
奧斯卡身後突然傳來女孩的聲音。他回頭，老四特蕾莎．史密斯（Teresa Smith）坐在輪椅上，來到奧斯卡身後。她是個陰沉的女孩，金色的長髮蓋住她的臉，只露出一顆灰色的眼睛，及臉頰上的雀斑。706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7epR4dylY
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzr77GkWhy
「怎麼啦，特蕾莎？」奧斯卡打起精神，露出符合他紅色頭髮的開朗微笑，以免弟妹擔心。706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjmCeoCCLy
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHuI5OgwJk
「給泰勒哥哥的禱告，換我來吧。」特蕾莎有氣無力地說：「你去看一下艾琳姊姊，比較好。」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPdsrr94EV
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FAMpWwNZP
「艾琳？」奧斯卡眨了眨眼，「她怎麼了？」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oAj2b8CK6
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYmoPToZI9
「……昨天晚上，又開始了。」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgBiIWMEOP
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wwvYjkPh8
看到特蕾莎的表情，奧斯卡就知道發生什麼，於是聽妹妹的話，朝艾琳的房間走去。706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmACcELcrPp
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoA7vlzpcK
艾琳排行老三，是奧斯卡最自豪的妹妹。她精明、能幹，什麼表演都難不倒，也是史密斯馬戲團最有觀眾緣的表演者，但兄弟姐妹都知道，艾琳得了一種怪病。706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8pGYI0puE

「啊啊！啊啊啊啊啊啊！啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz4KLyYNPp
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7qKgWWZ0X
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtaDkKpJGg
穿過一節節車廂，還沒走到艾琳的房間，奧斯卡就聽見她的尖叫。房裡的艾琳不知道用什麼東西撞擊牆壁，震耳欲聾的「磅！」、「磅！」聲讓奧斯卡非常著急，也非常害怕，開門前一度陷入猶豫。706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwUsnC92pd
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70b2uTvZOx
「艾琳！」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoN3xzdyeA
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUihVVeTZop
但手足之情，奧斯卡還是開門。艾琳原本黑色牆壁的房間，被潑滿了紅色、黃色、橘色的油漆。艾琳人站在十幾個油漆桶之間，各種顏色的油漆混雜在身上，猶如一隻被石油汙染的海鷗。706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdzzKT3kTB
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUmN701GPQ
「啊啊！啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcy1s6nMMU
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1Gn5y12hJ
艾琳的長髮全部黏在臉上。她用指甲抓自己的臉，喉嚨擠出破碎的尖叫。奧斯卡衝上前，來不及關心，艾琳就把他壓倒在地，兩手掐住奧斯卡的脖子。706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpeobmnbul

706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nkpUpZRc8
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zU6HwA7Lh
艾琳瞋大的藍色眼睛瞪著奧斯卡，嘴巴開始碎念聽不懂的話。706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ4BjZx82r
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTwj1bQ8HK
「尼可……在哪裡……！我的寶貝……尼可……！」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQj5PYN6DT
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sq27IjrMd
「唔……艾琳！艾琳！」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2YNB97nBg
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCzQ0iO5fa
奧斯卡的頭髮和衣服也被染上油漆。他抓著艾琳的手，脖子被掐得十分難受。706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHgc4eQNi3
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKZz462na9
「你是誰！？你是誰！？尼可在哪裡……在哪裡！！」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivSpBLROyO
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpCofCkI7G
「艾琳……是我！我是哥哥！」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSiDx88Y1C
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxBV0oO7se
奧斯卡不得不採取蠻橫的手段。他一拳打到艾琳臉上，多虧如此，艾琳掐他脖子的手終於放開，摔到一攤黃色的油漆裡。706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkWFvwUB1Y
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBVOj8w0VU
「醒醒，艾琳！我是哥哥！」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4DLnAqt14
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wPfjrhbv1
「哥哥……不！不是！你才不是我哥哥……！」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPZ2AQ6X04
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjXqUkBWES
「混帳！妳給我看清楚！」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdjfdYgghy
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafIctbG12l
奧斯卡一手抓住艾琳的肩膀，另一手從後面揪住艾琳的頭髮，強迫妹妹與自己直視。706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r70HxTZA6
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZMbeNPqee
「艾琳．史密斯！」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVNxDvfyqL
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW4rWT0BaB
奧斯卡對她大吼：706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdSQHLPE7i
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayj16l2dsf
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKoFP6jPgG
「她是艾琳，她是史密斯！我不管妳是誰，滾出我妹妹的身體！」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoSrINEdTd
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgzGjBV7Ud
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjybrkbCJK
「……！」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5fOZoUSnJ
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxebwIOcmrj
奧斯卡的話起了功效。下一秒，艾琳摀著臉，一會在地上打滾，一會弓起身子。她尖叫、咆哮，嗓子都已經叫啞，開始乾嘔。706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgIuJ1GVRC
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJnQq42fpk
「嗚嗚……啊啊……嗚啊……！」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9Zrl26aiH
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ060phcj3K9
眼淚從艾琳的眼裡流出來。她看向奧斯卡，雙目終於聚焦，臉也回復人類應有的血色。706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMait5acBY
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3KNnwFuRe
「哥哥……天啊！哥哥！」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXyud2bt3B
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrki9bS2HU
艾琳回來了。看到奧斯卡脖子上的掐痕，她哭著問：「我對你做了什麼？你的脖子……我剛剛打算殺死你嗎？」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx30yfULtlY
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BUOsrsYo9
「沒事，沒事。」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoP5nrJNzB
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3w4Yy8hRc
奧斯卡總算放下心來。他指著脖子，開玩笑地說：「這是我自己畫的，很逼真吧，哈哈！」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMZtT8oVis
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8O5SFJC9Y
「少騙人了！」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63jMb7Z1lw
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7Do7pO8Q6
艾琳抱住奧斯卡，哭著罵：「哥哥，你有什麼毛病，還有心情開玩笑！」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXUXNbiUvB
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBwPFVcQ7v
「我是馬戲團團長，逗人開心是我的工作。」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXFOGjfox8
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuAGSVadUl
奧斯卡抱著艾琳，一手輕拍她的背，同時，雖然艾琳的頭髮被油漆染得亂七八糟，奧斯卡還是發現，妹妹的髮色越來越淡，逐漸從漂亮的深褐色，變成銀白色。706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYruECn1jQB
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTngOGhhXSf
「妳沒事就好。」奧斯卡親親艾琳的臉頰，「泰勒走了，我不能再失去妳。」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiHKzyBUOD
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzLiqGtSVd
「我知道，對不起……！」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1H3Hnqw7X
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zknzXUie6
艾琳在奧斯卡身上哭了五分鐘。哭完後，她打起精神，朝奧斯卡露出放心的笑容。她請哥哥先離開，因為她需要時間清洗自己，也得處理一團亂的房間。706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogqHYRwJuj
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoruSquC3rP
確認人沒事，奧斯卡離開艾琳的房間，排行第四的特蕾莎在走廊等他。少女坐在輪椅上，表情僵硬地盯著奧斯卡，「怎麼樣？」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3R77ROArp
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQaHePPIXN
奧斯卡沒有回話，反問特蕾莎：「今天有什麼新聞？」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudVrT1i4ro
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvQ4ajgIQ1
「B區有個工人，受不了老闆壓榨和超時工作，昨晚上吊自殺了。」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiZrtsg6Xh
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHh51BwoJe
特蕾莎知道奧斯卡想問什麼，補了句：「是個油漆工人。」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkZvwgtFkF
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vrWqQDXAf
「……。」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKviTPxijN1
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVIBZEXcHe
奧斯卡的表情非常凝重。他深吸一口氣，告訴特蕾莎：「再這樣下去，艾琳會消失。」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycrg61OV5E
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkSkErd1r5
「嗯。」特蕾莎點頭，「所以？」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rmoPQ33OU
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TRmsiaLkW
「妳幫我調查『尼可』。」奧斯卡說：「我要確認，艾琳身體裡的，是不是那個人。」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6GTgnqW0l
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEGy0v9yzH
「OK。」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtN7VLySBu
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVkO3MGogm
特蕾莎面前有個觸控面板，她平時都用這個操控輪椅。就在她準備離開時，特蕾莎突然想到什麼，將輪椅轉向奧斯卡。706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuMBO5RfQF
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDdQlQNwZy
「如果真的是那個人，」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8REUpuWfC
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9Fr4wOZrJ
特蕾莎問：「奧斯卡哥哥，殺死艾琳姐姐的工作，能讓給我嗎？」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI2QnPKbf7
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApWVYysyWm
「可以。」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCz0mXtNpF
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EyllLJl2e
奧斯卡把頭轉到另一邊，「我下不了手，交給妳了。」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmvB0NPxTL
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyGyZIPrNi
「謝謝奧斯卡哥哥。」706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCy9RLLVvW
706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR8XKCmQuX
特蕾莎微笑，「泰勒哥哥一定會很高興。」8964 copyright protection702ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrHKUgj4MX 維尼
