球殼城市的邊陲郊區，拖板運輸車在山道上行駛。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61pheFhjgF
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAW9XCs0jQ
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wcXRA3nKG
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Sk1i309I3
「你說反抗，是什麼意思？」齊波問道。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm6hmbuAv3
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzeRxf3NW9
「等等，這邊人比較多，你們先蹲低。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpqS1Ocvb6
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDDz5elbg1
塔格直視前方，讓運輸車減速開過一座高聳建築。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvCYMWVLqU
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJzSxc1pto
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaPYp7jqEE
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNObhIqhue
「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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYvqaF6Ng8
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchYFrq1mW5
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHOa6LzXRD
圓頂絕無意外，沿著鋪好的軌道行走，幸福就是如此簡單。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SrPQkQZPk
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPMAkLYkGX
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45gylVFSkX
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlN0BXYome
「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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PlY4XiUxv
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaClhIuCGx7
「安樂死……嗎？」艾嘉‧斐南迪雙掌緊扣，擔心親族的現狀。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3jRlUiH7I
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaDMRldbbe
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？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWp3DRqKzt
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwksPpbWSNp
「『無』托邦？」齊波隨口一說。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAujtnrRdj
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6nwXA2fjc
「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。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtapkwBs9PM
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEL2NgQodu
「沒錯，幫手，就是我！我覺得『無托邦』這個詞很貼、貼切⸺」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dHgxEPxYO
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XI8XWYpZF
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxQ8AIDrB9
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIQKbXpLGr
「還有人跟你一夥？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj22msaJV3
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C3GI1b8iT
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y06CtVcfa
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YBYlHtk3Q
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoUnsUmBiU
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8kgQXVt46
「各位好，可以叫我L2，或是溝通介面、管家、打雜的⸺」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0xIQaG2CM
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7Y57mnlOi
「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！」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmEB8n1s0E
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj6D91JZnn
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlSD19hS2s
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq16Eve6XRQ
「抱歉，沒東西招待，食物配給只有塔格的份⸺」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH3iBq2s76
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF6XqwJ3bG
「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？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR465wx2sRA
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24pltAFjwB
「這裡，是德爾芬的實驗場⸺用來實驗人類！」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNSG2iAoJZ
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZQ1ekfsd5
「什麼？」烏霸抱胸站著，跟其他外來者一樣滿臉疑惑。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHqL9sLIj9
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwPyHO9cEw
「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？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAI2qICklv
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD743vj8qa
「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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrfHn2JPjN
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMJUQ5zKQM
「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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JuYT8xQ9N
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJZBBrJvBf
「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。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3B0xiiOIs
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC3w26I4ii
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eddtAVDLE
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCrqFp2qyn
「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……」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCCYEClaav
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDyBr0qW0m
「你的家人……去了回收廠嗎……」艾嘉看著塔格，聲音不像以往果斷。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1cXAkKGpX
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihrw4HdRi1
「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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5UL9oM8cz
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVAACLPCmP
「難怪你要反抗，」烏霸嗤之以鼻，「這種鬼地方，一點自由都沒有。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pMAwS1uDj
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUUR572P9P
「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……」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgRla5DrJP
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGPtMcYxIM
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKmoKrEwLU
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57FMyxyBzc
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0qNFXWjml
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGcehtMBiL
「弟弟……還是妹妹？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGTSXnG7ZJ
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBElMIDt1p
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfZs0CPjHn
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33jjuKtFsK
「噗哈……很高興認識大家，我是艾卡。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmmmJAzENO
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQiXcng0vV
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。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm1Z45gm0g
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx2kujmONa
「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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0hJFYFz9u
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfNJaZAh5T
「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。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDLOiDpKLs
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfynYedwWtl
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。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx7U8larba
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeQ1lPRWyu
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhtFbwc0Cr
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFUi00yXKZ
「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？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1llRlFyeow
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6Exf46E2I
「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？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFYlHmqoz2
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYJH8wcHS5
「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？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPsQk8bAlY
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eY79zlIOd
「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。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC1e6KM8m7
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP7jCUs7GI
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtXgeOT0dK
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnukoiuDG7
「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。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1lUOvKvTo
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctbKjUMctc
「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？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvDHheVGv3
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CHdWvjz4k
「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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwth6bEclG
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAuzXXPA2W
「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。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTopVEme9F
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qN0cfuE2t
「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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ796mOZzOEN
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ760E8X8T6B
「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。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPZksp4ZHC
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8IMQaoh1G
「所以，我們要贏下比賽？」齊波問道。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWge0X4fWs
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M2Z9PcciN
「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！」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGRPwhgyWO
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwr2hSUo93
「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？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvLM21ceST
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyJdsrCNc4
「哼，聽起來很有趣，卡涅特‧烏霸，駕駛燃魂參賽。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtx8Q4Nflv
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z2irdjEDM
「我駕駛納蘭白鯨，名子是烈南德‧齊波尼亞。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBsNu8uD3g

「烈南德，嗯……」機器人眼睛閃爍，似乎想起什麼，456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoqTBuB9Yr
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjToroahBE
「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？」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80t935u0tI
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJL9vYsNvZ
「當然⸺所有基因資料都在那邊。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMoEyrnd8Y
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUah1sdzGNN
「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。」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2soGa1Du0
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODILDTx2VP
「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！」456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG5rJC9TSK
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxNftF4dSS
「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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk31VtoYovl
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkVYmW6QSK
「這次絕對不會輸了。」烏霸半推半就地配合。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzRnbyUbZl
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOCxhG7Vyw
「艦長？」齊波邀請領導者，希望能盡釋前嫌。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfr7Ne7TEj
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtKlaLr549
細秀卻結實的掌心疊上少年手背，艾嘉肯定地微笑。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1VUbyjxtF

五隻手與一根金屬爪子，讓「無」托邦的角落滲入各種色彩。
