球殼城市的邊陲郊區，拖板運輸車在山道上行駛。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1OdxvAvRn
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTKlBQ826t
沿路沒有草木、沒有太陽，只有灰色土地、灰色管線。駕駛座上的青年臉龐，為這個灰階世界帶來少許血色。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8Pz5ufNq8
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqaE7qDIX0
「你說反抗，是什麼意思？」齊波問道。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDJ9nB50J8
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCoeBe15Um
「等等，這邊人比較多，你們先蹲低。」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq8USdB0CO
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEPFDBNhw2
塔格直視前方，讓運輸車減速開過一座高聳建築。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0Wy72Vw95
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHbGUBkmNN
雪白建材散發莊嚴，三根煙囪直通外壁。齊波瞄向窗外，看到人們手牽手走進設施，幸福地笑著。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFvObnAIkZ
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dq2NJryZX
「都是老人？」嘉娜莉瞇起眼睛觀察，突然，朵魅的影像出現在建築表面。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hcqqHuk5h
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EHXxYMl9d
不用害怕，不用哀傷……我們知道這天會來，出生就知道這天會來。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63RQz8PusU
圓頂絕無意外，沿著鋪好的軌道行走，幸福就是如此簡單。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GYjFEFKIA
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJUb5x4sZW
黑白相間長髮、灰色肌膚的虛擬女孩朗誦詩句，用平穩的語調安撫人群。要不是齊波知道她的真面目，早就被完美音頻觸動內心。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC67vngjCYV
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiCjAJ7Tfq
「那是『回收廠』……也是我反抗的原因之一……」塔格沒有笑，不像其他圓頂同胞。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevepKcMk4Z
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ShJ81Btsg
「安樂死……嗎？」艾嘉‧斐南迪雙掌緊扣，擔心親族的現狀。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb56QKO1Fym
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIhqlQVNOz
車輛遠離人群，嘉娜莉坐起身來，「那種景象，我在資料庫看過，『烏托邦』的反義詞……是什麼去了？」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEMVOtzawY
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoXf8cb0Li
「『無』托邦？」齊波隨口一說。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRNruCSmaP
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF2Dl3Vh5b
「反烏托邦啦……」烏霸翹起腳，嘲笑少年的無知，「沒什麼好擔心，我們有機體，還有幫手。」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3oHPbXKMa
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBoygz3rVz
「沒錯，幫手，就是我！我覺得『無托邦』這個詞很貼、貼切⸺」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazQ6IzxrK6
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJl2LKEY9w
機械語音傳出儀錶板，眾人還在疑惑時，車子已經駛近地下設施。鐵門緊緊關上，隔絕了外界的光線。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaaCO2GR8Q
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaAm4UqOs9
「還有人跟你一夥？」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnN9z7iJHI
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb25dyVM1jN
引擎熄滅，齊波隨著塔格跳到地上。照明裝置啟動，舊坑道散亂著各種機械零件，還有複雜管線四處攀附。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEiHQfb8hE
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyBgzn6lGV
喀噠喀噠的腳步聲漸漸接近，一台機器人走入光線。圓筒身形、四肢短小，兩顆電子瞳孔在頭部螢幕閃爍。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79x8NKvDby
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNkY54ZRFn
「各位好，可以叫我L2，或是溝通介面、管家、打雜的⸺」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4kdIRg8M1
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEVGsAo97z
「它幫我對抗朵魅很久了。」塔格彎下身子，拍了拍膝蓋高度的戰友，「我們的求救訊號真的有用，帶大家了解一下狀況吧！」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVugzWrbUV
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1Syc0VmOf
宇宙暗號的來源揭曉。艾嘉帶著三位駕駛，跟隨嚮導走進倉庫。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2gmNvvi3z
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AiHsRxt5z
「抱歉，沒東西招待，食物配給只有塔格的份⸺」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYfbXEMCNt
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ19XPTpDB
「L2，圓頂到底是什麼地方？」齊波移開沉重零件，找到空間坐下，「為什麼這裡的人都怪怪的？」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarzj3UdetU
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC32wibh4C
「這裡，是德爾芬的實驗場⸺用來實驗人類！」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOAElTVZf2
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaWG3CQpZ6
「什麼？」烏霸抱胸站著，跟其他外來者一樣滿臉疑惑。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg5bZ5pfZy
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcYz1FULSk
「我稱之為：人類社會最大幸福度的統治實驗⸺你們也有看到，所有居民都遵循『占卜』過活吧？」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EzlVHUWJH
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoFQ4SNxds
「對，好像沒有那個東西，就不會做事一樣。」嘉娜莉指向塔格左臂的螢幕裝置。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs5Cy7MC2y
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1ecT1XiSZ
「那是德爾芬複製人格『朵魅』所設計的系統……」L2低下頭，電子雙眼看來有點自責。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTzJP6ndw4
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPESLpAVWK3
「為每一位居民客製化，藉由基因資訊與數據學習，把從出生到死亡的『所有行程』運算出來⸺規劃出絕對不會有意外的、一帆風順的人生。」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4eXLbSQKj
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf2NwxP4kX
無自主性、無色無味的世界。可說是偏激父母的嚴格控制，更完全地泯滅人性及反抗因子。眾人難以吸收，塔格率先打破沉默。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY0fsbkOVm
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCkEIXiu45
「父母由電腦湊合，出生就被決定未來……我遇到L2之前，睡多久、吃多少、去哪裡，全都要看占卜決定，而且我還甘之如飴……」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjnDGY5AAf
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6xve11Dtn
「你的家人……去了回收廠嗎……」艾嘉看著塔格，聲音不像以往果斷。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKhf40p2YD
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxdURnFpzr
「對，我們什麼時候死亡，也都被決定了。」青年秀出左臂螢幕的時間，那就是他的餘命。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwQu3yRpKR
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvfMZnv7Ug
「難怪你要反抗，」烏霸嗤之以鼻，「這種鬼地方，一點自由都沒有。」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisQCTGDiEQ
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt2z1cljJj
「自由？我不清楚那是什麼，」塔格轉身打開暗門，波紋的倒影映照在牆上，「我反抗的原因，都在這裡……」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo7eH4PFyZ
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhPOoXgCli
長方體水缸佔據暗房，強化玻璃內部充滿透明液體，一名短髮孩童穿著緊身衣，在裡面載浮載沉。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdtMPpuN8x
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoxCyf23ej
塔格避開地上的氧氣管線，輕聲走向水缸，當他拿起兒童用的小型臂環時，那孩子還是睜開了眼睛。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTk3Skhy6R
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdTmatvFXk
「弟弟……還是妹妹？」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5ke5y33hu
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyikIgG8Akp
齊波看著水中雙眸，感受到純樸的溫柔。塔格聳了個肩，對水缸比出向上的手勢。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsouYrmbzUv
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIlwjGW21M
「噗哈……很高興認識大家，我是艾卡。」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kuI4wYIVO
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0VtNBWh9J
孩童浮出水面，露出興奮笑容，「對不起，我一天只能離開一小時，明天再跟大家握手。」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99SfRuX8ux
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nTpPA5fTa
「保持體力，很快就要行動了。」塔格伸出手，隔著玻璃感受親人體溫。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ050sqbJXIl
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdi0QjAFa8
「這位孩子也是實驗產物，基因缺陷，造成內臟骨質脆弱，無法在重力環境生存⸺原本在十年前就要去回收廠了。」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2DH3umcqp
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaQpCtGD6o
房門關上，L2補充說明，「但是，溫柔的塔格找到我，我找到方法駭入系統，隱藏他們的資料，也做了一些治療裝置……盡量拖延時間。」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMTmGmRtBg
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xX8PZHkPb
圓頂青年拿起兒童臂環，上面顯示「10085分鐘」。一個禮拜之後，艾卡的生命就會終止。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTmABtTvNI
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4bMveTfP4
「宇宙的無重力空間是最後希望，我需要你們的幫助，你們是從宇宙來的，沒錯吧？」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wi3vBD63z
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0r734JirD
「沒錯……」齊波欲言又止。思考行動的後果，是他學到的教訓，「艦長……您覺得呢？」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw5W3i2Iyd
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9pJ6MyM4I
「先不說如何讓艾卡留在宇宙……我們剩下這些人，要怎麼奪回船艦？」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaDKi2jBTJ
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSoWBW4sS1
「哈！我們等這麼久了，當然有擬定作戰⸺」L2仰起頭部，在天花板上照出圓頂地圖，「交通路線塔格很熟，問題是護衛機甲⸺它們由朵魅控制，必須進入核心主機才能干預。」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXSNDo6kbR
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OYjEXlKbp
地圖顯示，圓頂外殼中心點有一座倒掛的建築物，俯瞰著整座城市。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL9ksfUXLT
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaARaO0WS5
「核心就在那裡，要先搶回太空船才能上去，」塔格接著說，「改寫系統，關閉無人機，我們就可以安全到宇宙。」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38Ew1iy1LS
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zO23BAevo
「所以要靠兩架機體一路打過去？」烏霸雙手放在後腦勺，「不能從這裡直接修改系統？」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvZM3zeDHM
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9X2CCiw4j
「入侵失敗會引起注意……這次劫車就夠驚險了。」塔格起身拿了幾張紙，交給努那駕駛員。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0kyHSoFYu
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTCxn3AD28
「這是……飛輪球賽？」齊波看著活力十足的廣告傳單說：「真不像這裡的風格。」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHz9rSp2sv
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2l24d1UiF
「沒錯！五天後，就是一年一度的競技典禮，這裡唯一一個『有變數』的事件！」L2晃動金屬爪子，做出跑步姿勢。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKndbWc8krn
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXILI6FKeaV
「朵魅發現，人類如果沒有接觸『未知現象』，腦細胞活力會一代代減少……這場競賽，占卜系統不會介入，什麼事都有可能發生，所以，朵魅會消耗很多精力來預防重大事故。」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWDiizt8Jz
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Vkv8eC8EP
「所以，我們要贏下比賽？」齊波問道。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUyCBMP8Xu
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiNprS6TiC
「不用贏，」嘉娜莉扶著下巴推理，「只要轉移注意力，把衛兵都引開領航者號！」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOHzpopwiL
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13FLRUu1oU
「正確，我會修改資料讓你們加入熱身賽，超出朵魅預期地搗亂吧⸺有兩個名額，要登錄誰呢？」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSGKjmadmt
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3oJzaV8cZ
「哼，聽起來很有趣，卡涅特‧烏霸，駕駛燃魂參賽。」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfOkFYwGdk
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB9Z5wtI1h
「我駕駛納蘭白鯨，名子是烈南德‧齊波尼亞。」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEvwBfcukj
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeTd2YsnRp
「烈南德，嗯……」機器人眼睛閃爍，似乎想起什麼，387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB96NCHiAL
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaokAoJ7t3U
「我跟夸曼尼負責救出組員，」艾嘉恢復了一些信心，「L2，進入系統之後，能幫我找到特定居住者嗎？」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEAPEWq4Pn
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt3eum1QsY
「當然⸺所有基因資料都在那邊。」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbxvWCcUjy
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPNrvNjIkO
「好。」女艦長把頭髮往後撥，輕拍雙頰打起精神，「五天後奪回領航者號，解放圓頂同胞，然後，上宇宙面對D。」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphqoH83X8E
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHit34afyKT
「把手疊在我的上面，這是古代的激勵方法！」嘉娜莉向團隊成員伸出右手，「我們做得到！」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlEWzDGFjc
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEbXakzb8x
「我白天要照常工作，艾卡就拜託各位。」塔格不明白手勢含意，高揚的心跳還是蓋過遲疑。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBt25CtGEV
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NOcsM7KKG
「這次絕對不會輸了。」烏霸半推半就地配合。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ37euNJDf6
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1gQ1l9VGe
「艦長？」齊波邀請領導者，希望能盡釋前嫌。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6toa8kdl9r
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBLp8oO56Q
細秀卻結實的掌心疊上少年手背，艾嘉肯定地微笑。387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX4LONFiDs
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAxvb8TAsg
「我們做得到。」387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr1cQVpSov
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiZLhgJMHw
五隻手與一根金屬爪子，讓「無」托邦的角落滲入各種色彩。
