香港，某私家醫院的私人病房中。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1u6IL6WYg
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm2ETPUwLM
這時候，私人病房內正上演著一場豪門爭產，三姊弟反目成仇的精彩戲碼。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCPDlFJrSU
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r6D1GD47t
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtJIcvB3jb
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Zg7LbgRnq
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUA6iwXNu6
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkWjDWJ7aP
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78B6FOUGsk
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKR07bG4aU
在家人的苦口婆心的勸說下，陳啟光接受了動心術的建議。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RTOpAfeUO

諷刺地，父親手術失敗正是在床邊吵架的三姊弟的共同願望。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsBbtrNdsY
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFaCNnlxLj
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciBDFRo14p

爬牆，其實是蜘蛛俠才會做的事，但這不是重點。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CiGJg9wq1

那一夜，他們沒有遇到聖誕老公公，也沒有看見蜘蛛俠，但願望還是成真，他們得到想要的聖誕禮物。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XXQOEEs25

咯！咯！一道狼狽的身影出現在窗戶外。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgREA2daAK

「大姊，你是外嫁女，最後都有人養，又何必跟我們爭來爭去呢？一句到底，我佔五成。」陳展安扠腰，在病床的另一邊反問。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR4Q7LRFA9

「喂！你可是孻仔，出世之後已經不用捱窮，家裡最幸福就是你。怎樣說都不能佔半吧！」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rvQrNd5nO

正當這三姊弟要沒完沒了地爭論下去時，一直站在房門外的醫生推門而入，身後的俏護士拿著病歷板緊隨其後。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytHvBBMD5O
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tHaAg8zlR
「陳先生，醫院範圍不能抽煙。而且，吸煙危害健康。」年輕醫生說道。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoq5LsFlYc

「關你屁事？」陳展進不耐煩。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO25zxbY9D

護士走到陳展進面前，亮出一把手術剪刀，「嚓」的一聲剪掉煙蒂。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3ZYjGUKDn

「小心不舉。」俏護士友善微笑，杏眸中的寒光卻讓陳展進把粗話嚥回肚子裡。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JhpkNV3bV

「咳咳，主診醫生今天有事，所以我替陳老先生檢查。我的護士很美，但愈美的女人愈危險。說實在的，她真的很危險—」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtC1qxOdxu

這位戴方框眼鏡，穿大白掛的年輕醫生正是黃嘉明。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzV7ZG8pwQ
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oXKMDp7Le
至於他身邊那個長得比明星漂亮的俏護士自然是依翠絲。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9y4pSIdsd
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22Jrf4oXli
病房房門關上，黃嘉明坐在病床旁邊的椅子上，輕嘆一口氣，眼尾餘光落在陳啟光蒼老的臉龐上。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIP3UCmd5u
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnUe7LN3z7
「陳老先生，該起床了。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHzWihGesE

陳啟光果然醒著。他緩緩睜開眼，好奇地打量這個料事如神的年輕醫生，然後默不作聲地看著天花板。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQGAbjWmHa

「抱歉啊年輕人，讓你看笑話了。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGujSyVS7YK

「陳老先生，你應該清楚這個手術有幾複雜，成功機會有幾低？」黃嘉明翻閱病歷板，隨意問道。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0z7NVBpso
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkJUszHT9j
「大概撐不過去，哈哈。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FRE0kvyhh

「該不會是你的兒女要求吧？當你手術失敗，他們藉此質疑遺囑，對薄公堂，讓自己成為最後的得益者。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxegua00x7N
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXEAu9N2Bu
陳啟光呷一口水，用沉默代替答案。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSFDtRDo0P
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5lTG0F22R
黃嘉明不滿道：「不孝子。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrOPXiqfMP
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtQNS4eA2S
「嘖，年少求生，年老求死，這是人之常情。喔，對了，這位小護士是你的戀人吧？挺郎才女貌，眼光不錯喲。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGLYj8CoMS
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbethl3EdsF
「他就想。」依翠絲矢口否認。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4wRx1Us6X
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQDfruVnkt
「陳老先生，你老花了。」黃嘉明尷尬搔頭，續道：「別轉移話題。作為醫生，我們必須確定你的意願。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLJA6w19z9
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegfaCVL2gM
「或者說⋯⋯你不恨你的兒女嗎？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNX3SvctCM

「好吧好吧。醫生，你打開櫃桶的紙箱，把裡面的東西翻出來就明白了。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTpFfz8xyh
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpvm3HQ8V2
黃嘉明狐疑兩秒，點頭照辦。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKnxWGEIGo
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2xLQ4hldn
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDhlx4hLKg
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedXa1VWAF3
「幪面超人⋯⋯鐵人廿八⋯⋯嘩，頭髮亂七八糟，這麼醜的妞。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k1Yxycq2x
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEWFHgJBjf
「你才醜，這是椰菜娃娃。椰菜娃娃是上世紀80年代，從美國興起的玩具。抱歉，這位醫生弱智的。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgTgovQK30
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl57oynTeKE
「哈哈！想不到現在的年輕女孩都知道椰菜娃娃啊！」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB6hpR2lMf
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xjnXp8XUr
陳啟光不知道的是，他口中的年輕女孩可是活了過百年，比他閱歷還要豐富的魔女。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7lNWn4SC3
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc0nJ6Tnrh
「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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QgLvMfj9n
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b5FQ3WVsK
「真是現實。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUt0YoW0rS
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9hAAMgZpf
「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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUJ86tVfS0
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkgMOm2Gr6
「我啊，打算賺最後一把。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQOSdKJo4Y

「如果我快點消失，遺產可以換到他們笑聲，那麼我仍然是贏家。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEWKbcJQH0
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIcRW9kYF0
陳啟光的歪理和瘋狂，也許只有身為父親的人才能夠體會。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFWhMPDqo1
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgVGANXNFM
黄嘉明和依翠絲聽到老人的笑聲，兩人心頭一酸，也不再說下去。聽到這裡，他們已經確定一個鐵錚錚的事實。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrWKpcPyEy

「醫生，你到時不會在手術室吧？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycbZYP910y
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9fsV6s7Bl
「我還有更重要的『心臟手術』，其他醫生做不來的手術。」黄嘉明說道。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8keB5kRG1t

與陳啟光見面的三日後晚上，奧托蘭姆的藏書廳。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfdCpZqAmN
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGgllmQktQ
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLl26jrMHv
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpWcwWjHts

這段話並非黄嘉明胡謅，而是出自《靈魂世界編年史》的序言，他曾經在房間的書櫃無聊翻讀時看過，對此特別深刻。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGbF09QU4J

像之前說過，黄嘉明其實很聰穎，只是一向懶惰。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH3AJ7CJpB

他沒有特別喜歡書本的氣味，但此時他卻不得不讀。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4Voc2iOfm

「你應該清楚靈魂駭客的守則？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrqxCrokgZ
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWIUQmMd2C
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtg3oNEbwN

281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSKNXqmMsc
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadTiVanSPT
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRDFhcyisN
在一般人類眼中的病患自殺案，實情卻是壽妖作祟。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRebzxYKPRd
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwLcvqKycg
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI2tG9a8Eg

「真的嗎？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrk1QiYP68
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3aEvaYiVZ
黃嘉明移開視線：「當然。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4yFxJtuHi
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWklFra0TI
「好吧。在找甚麼？有院長可以幫忙的事嗎？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6T3xpTwyx
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJitAoykHZQ
「我在找關於『調整術』還有魂器的資料⋯⋯」黃嘉明含糊其詞。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ypp6bOLMS
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9ScZgdIA6
「『調整術』，是跟靈魂駭客有關吧？嘿嘿。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF6ZwQKsv8
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemQQBqGuUk
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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQokVJtd5E
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGZN4zKDUP
「答案？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYmOaPT5QD
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UMnGaVKJ7
「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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8YWFgogui
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sTMDSkTqj
「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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMliCHigs0
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLqNPtAEZJ
「真的？」黃嘉明兩眼發光。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GBkwTIBZA
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjncSvw3cs8
「嘿嘿嘿，要換個地方，到我的辦公室喝杯酒嗎？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjytjtTsMTh
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8ItQdtFyB
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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTZ2aaeO6N
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUPhWZms7Q
「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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuaBkPu2UB
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINpM7luvIq
「院長？我不是弱智。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhrTyZwmLY
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1Kjw7XnAU
「哈哈哈。快點走吧。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzz6XGeO7A

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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAZNHqZk9C
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qPv4c84bs
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl9o8DnD2c
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd41wQ1SX5w
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7MVuqn63G
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqWFrpgEok
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvYoSmt0rd
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZFtYiSQbr
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q7PSEmQqw
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT8domvkqN
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2Ao0RZy13
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8ShF5le0y
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJN1p1t7cS
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmROYqJcPpN
「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』⋯⋯」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl7FPm8FZt
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTxTIAPYej
「對對，原來還有這種方法嗎？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bh7XQyu3L
「我的想法果然沒有錯。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVpKYFjC8R
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS7DwfpsbC
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sWtIDyGrO
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LO3ZCGL0E
這本手札闡述了「把人類帶進靈魂迷宮」的方法！281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5ralTrzVM
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JEjBbLigZ
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHaYd92H7I
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzjqkqag7B
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqjeyX0M4u
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR1JDZZoO9
而且，這個方法躲過法議廳的探測，倒了免卻不必要的麻煩。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv2QcYaMlW
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuptU7ZQNY
這是一本禁書。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A7Upur9Q9
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGeXACzgw7
「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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESmxOmZtrv
「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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiJSeAbzNh
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34nGAX29d2
「話說回來他跟你很相似，一樣不正常，哈哈。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8Ehg4M1t7
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeMYlCfF24
「相似？哪方面？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHtqiNe6nD
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeXyC9E6HC
「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？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ0ymOed7e
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPHJxfTcx9
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFmKCEAe2D
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTudBSi57df
「這個手札像為你而設嘛，現在交由你保管。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrJ2RGuaO4
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLer3YPCNC
「院長，你不問我要讓誰進入靈魂迷宮嗎？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSdWgssMIx
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj713IpdmQ5
「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？ 」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gKC4zGkl7
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXcqDOAIBL
「一定會。」黃嘉明重重點頭。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytkgV2iYzg
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o09ABznzX
「那就足夠。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIOSRGSvaG
「院長，我還有最後一個問題－」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLlVpn4izH
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhxOFbqgra
「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？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtABQjLdG1p
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yYYAtVoOU
「院長都會⋯⋯讀心？」黃嘉明震驚。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf22DWTFQS2
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkE0cZrMxn
「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！」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzgcyMkb56
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdllhQA8Gd2
「史上最廢的槍。」黃嘉明補充。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRwGEJ3pjd
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mZZGx5J4z
他喚出古董銀槍，朝天發出「呠」的臭屁聲：「看吧。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTom3Qm1fN
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2JtS6AM8L
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yzZWeiDci
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFt7VUn4ol
「院長！」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cNOMFiXpA
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT8KXTSxGh
「開槍試試看。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5NAkDDY5d
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllIEsDNIGb
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCte04iMfRk

「夠了。」黃嘉明讓魂槍消失，深呼吸。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvI7phu0tf
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kEgeZALCY
「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。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG13h0N9fO
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Xbko1Tqwj
「我開不了槍，而且轉輪裡面空空如也，甚麼都沒有。」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsGixYHecR
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OlNqEGonl
紐卡遜院長饒有意味地指著清空的酒杯。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiYeOeyxtY
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAiGbc5FLa
「空空如也，才能裝下萬物，容得下善和惡，不是嗎？」281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3K0iVi6r0
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSM9md0Lg3
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。281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpaELxAi7n
