經過了幾年時間，丁開始習慣工作，習慣看別人的臉色過日子，習慣沒有白澤的日子。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5boaOoACy
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKga4gq1xI7
不會回來了吧？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fyf33ahh6
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPAZQfXv0s
從村人們的交談中，丁不得不接受這樣的事實。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXguBnzBf4
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEadLAegSXP
在覺悟的那天蒙頭大哭了一夜，接下來他就怎麼也流不出淚來，投身於忙碌的工作當中。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk2BFJ3rIN
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKaHkchKS6
他可以在忙碌中忘了許多事，忘了他過去的名字，忘了他小時候親暱叫著的名字，忘了他曾經那樣幸福的活在另一個人的寵溺中，甚至忘了該怎麼笑。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwOuOzOJIB
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy5ats4o8w
不知不覺，他似乎已經很久沒有笑過了。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX93L0lWjKy
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvYuLvHcTL
他伸手摸上自己變得下垂的嘴角，然後在四顧無人後拿出白澤唯一遺留下的物品。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3aki58Ixm
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaFs8g7Kbk
黃色的金屬雕刻著他不了解的紋路，鮮紅的繩結綁成他無法理解的構造，他唯一記得的似乎只剩下如夢般朦朧的甜美回憶及這東西不能被其他人得手的念頭。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDvK4GH2Xy
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NPyAdSDP0
只是有時看著這東西會覺得他還能繼續努力下去。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuJjgcVz35
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqar5mztfP
或許他心底還是期待著的吧？期待那個被自己淡忘的人能夠前來迎接自己。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi9Uv9IFqK
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEtXTnxrmC
嘲笑著自己那無謂的心情，丁將紅繩重新藏回懷中，然後繼續投身彷彿無止無盡的工作。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjh9qu9hPy

「還不下雨…！獻上活祭品吧！」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrskBFsGZZX
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jhxYdF06M
某日夜晚，在丁進入夢鄉前，他隱約聽到如此的聲音。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqoNFRPen8
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbOeIlQrt7
啊啊，活祭品，是指活生生被獻給神明的動物嗎？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaAyiXgd8n
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcCdA7CDnG
「我不要當祭品。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13Urat6VE5
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lDP0IWvf7
嗯？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDIv3ftyAz
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGjhrHwOJ3
「我也不要。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWXsCWZ4n0
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMCFfXwb4i
不是用動物嗎？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41OFzLWrf1
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF0P3cwkSb
「丁呢？」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcEIoKB7Bf
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSHhRDx7Y5
！79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraM5FDgLz7
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5tItQpL8C
「對了，還有丁吶。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09W1A9c5Mb
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceqjkAWa2P
我要被交給神明？在祭壇上活生生地被殺死嗎？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxpUMw3bcf
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKBN49qC2k
不，這個村裡的人應該不至於這麼做，頂多把我放在那裏直到餓死吧？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTPgenyXXm
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyq57VrMlX
……回收屍體的時候，這東西會被看到的。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZUimwOTqU
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13VLDHkhRz
聽著聲音漸弱，等到火光熄滅，丁坐起身，輕巧的離開床舖。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe47n0i1hR
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSbhQHAihR
吃了他們那麼多年的飯，讓我回報這條命是無所謂，但是，只有這個絕不讓給任何人。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKb2AMoMOV
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzPEi2bErV
順著月光及星光，從小生長在野外的丁熟悉的行走於黑暗之間，終於在深夜走到了距離村莊不算遠卻足夠隱密的，他以前的家。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe4gszQgfx
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudxhDdREny
當他以前很累很累的時候，就會偷偷跑來這裡，緬懷著已經不記得的那個人。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHXW19yALe
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvGbmVL4Ft
丁面無表情地想著，坐在樹洞外，手上拿著一根沒有很纖細的樹枝。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZjFlNKQSI
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU3u1HZhUW
將樹枝插在樹洞前的土壤，丁的嘴角微微上揚。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk2SKs1mIW
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLdSD7QJGP
感謝你小時候的照顧。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTQ64GMFyG
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrlQgMURn2
默念著，丁將一直珍藏的寶物纏繞在樹枝上頭。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo3j6MK0uw
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H2jyWhgK1
大概明天，我就會被告知這件事了。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwAbG5qFye
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcCjta0bpb
我，一直都......79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEAD3SPCJx
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONntPTow8N
嗤笑自己的情感，丁勾起嘴角，然後站起身。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnhjAwjuDv
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFEHq3j0XZ
永別了，以後就再也見不到面了。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o9qbwRssk
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCliqQT5CoA
想著，丁覺得眼睛有些酸澀，揉揉眼，他還是踏著步伐回到村落。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiLCNuE9sd
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkFj03yFhE
以後就真的，可以不用再抱著希望，一日復一日的等下去了。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVq5YqXJDF
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡencRL9z9SP
抹殺掉自己心中那份期待，丁冷靜地想著。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxWuS8zQrs
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5Kp6zmmUv
近十年都不曾出現過的人，是不可能在最後一刻出現的。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0RmSkCrys
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHx6BMcsMF
這樣就好，這樣就可以了。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQnXk65NM5
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hz8FI8vIM
難得的度過不是一覺到天亮的夜晚，丁這夜幾乎沒睡，就算意識模糊也會立刻夢到那些充滿希望的夢境而驚醒。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeH0w8L7Iv
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfQzm9E6Xs
他不想要再一次的抱著希望，因此他只能自己去接受絕望。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhDFtK9qFo
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1FZltullY
為了這些村民，為了這些養活自己的村民，為了這些奴役自己的村民……79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoasFlnyW5w
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Xgcdyl2a5
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypaC2HxUf1
「丁，你起床了嗎？」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxADNy5K4lc
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdDG4yPmQD
「……是。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88ZPzTJBTe
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcjPvpoLfr
「我們有些話想跟你說。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yFciqOG7O
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qkxkmS1eS
不是一個人，就算想逃也逃不掉，對吧？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAmsWQHNMy
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjSEOjf3yj
丁在心裡想著，一邊聆聽村長那一長串的理由，然後點頭。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa6cfHyDr9
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM27DbIeyZ
「我願意。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50EhZWOOxN
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqSAoer4uo
然後在眾人鬆了一口氣的情況下，被包圍著前往祭場。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEVaxTr4I0
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwsADSPgyp
「換上這個。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3qcyXQUOP
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7U2XOy5Xo
「戴上這個。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb4wyrQkW6
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfDHRtU3eq
「還有這個。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYvLiSDySz
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbnjooavV2
「喂，把那個拿來。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdZpviMVWQ
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPOC9IOckc
七手八腳地趕在夜晚前把東西弄好，丁端坐在祭壇上，依照村長的說法雙手合十，等待神明的降臨。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIinGIKvWq
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLfQcpTKvB
「不要恨我啊，丁。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pY2Jb5to0
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nZZ7bo0Pd
村長說著，也朝著他的方向拜了一拜。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB7Nd5FzkG
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EpbqmutaG
「沒事的，如今的時代只有這個方法可以穩定人心，我不會怨恨的。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIEXgule47
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oHoTjI2Sc
沒有看向任何人，丁把視線放在山的某處，他猜想應該是他過去居住的地方。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxY1Gdiopn
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq7J4wpp4f
而村人們你看看我、我看看你，便在陸續道謝後離開了祭壇。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dRCUi1IHQ
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqY7dtjYDo
「…若是有黃泉這種東西，我一定要讓村裡的人嚐嚐死後被我制裁的滋味……」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOokUg5SuQf
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm1vsZwuLI
丁小聲的碎念，像是要告訴自己，也像是在偷偷的警告村人。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC5v6CU1VA
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8IUGc9BU3
「永別了，請多保重。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYG1qrSdjm
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorqZ6dQk58
如果沒有黃泉存在的話。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYVmYiXLnG
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXTpsY2821
丁維持著端正的姿勢，直到確認村人們走遠。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVg7MQfoqS
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfV3423oCV
神明長什麼樣子呢？真的會有神明嗎？真的是神明嗎？真的有神嗎？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2ZJVdpiAZ
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCmwc8keXT
經過一整天的空腹洗禮，丁已經感覺不到餓意，喝了放在祭壇上的酒後便臥倒在祭壇上。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjrIji4zQW
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSaWf2uHmT
為什麼，為什麼沒有來接我？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUM2viHJJ9
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN1uJaImf0
因為我忘了你叫我的名字？還是我忘了你的樣子？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILwzkugsFI
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW4rVSsdam
你真的，拋棄了我嗎？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMka9N1n55N
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9Ze9O0Vdq
再也，見不到面了。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCJDiiWdty
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQBxXhXzV4
永遠。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExg6OGFVW9
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1QkqgKqwB
完全放下希望，原來是那麼難受的事嗎？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvLBM11L7S
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3hAVxZlpW
乾澀的眼睛流出淚來，看著天上閃閃的繁星，丁又狠狠地把村子的人詛咒了一遍。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvac4LR3cj
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JHvQFN97V
說不定，再多等幾天他就會出現了啊！79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdARtrPwpzL
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ix3ynPZtU
悲憤交加，周圍丁看不到的鬼火逐漸被他的恨意吸引過來。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrARbEwwjNZ
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJsJfPL5U6
感覺被風吹的冰冷的身體瞬間像燒起來一般灼熱，丁在瞬間以為是神明的到來。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiRXSKokkm
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNQzV53zk9
是鬼喔。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj5JG339sP
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVTt7Pb6AB
腦海裡有個聲音說著。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSATQosFCC
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBrLjKk4km
因為跟鬼火結合，你以後就是鬼了。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWKw225J8B
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSduJNbp1AS
跟神明完全無緣的詞彙。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iPAkuv8yI
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrPq2rTP6Q
是鬼的話，就可以去到黃泉狠狠的懲戒那些人了吧？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9jBOj9K5j
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwdPXNea2p
從祭壇上坐起身，丁張開眼睛。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5fnEmaclo
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEP950HMFP
我是鬼，就算真的有神明他也不會想要這樣的祭品的。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCTvxfQZjU
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1KCjIrf8P
然後離開祭壇。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppe2GsVBeL
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxM29hrFC7
就連那個人，也不會要我吧？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZz46GcrCT
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO4XOnkFq1

79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q1rXKJdmf
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOSfiVIRZd
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIrhaWQ33n
因為，我已經不是人了。
