對流風在設施頂層颼颼吹動，砂石步道旁是循環水路潺潺。椿感到一股涼意，兩手抱肩拉著襟口。走在前面哼歌的墨鏡男子穿得暖呼呼，一點都不解風情。607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnCAxfWDNl

除了邀約時的輕浮態度之外，修的身上感覺不出任何邪念。也許，他跟女殺手之前面對的黑幫老爺一樣人面獸心，也有可能只是一個單純傻瓜。607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32wVvmEyAM

只剩一邊引擎的禮車停在側面凹陷的小艇隔壁。為避免被害人起疑心，女殺手趕緊找話題聊，「剛才在酒館那場賭博，也是你的線路技巧嗎？手槍裡面有感應晶片……類似這種……」607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIwriylObE
607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WemvcjtfL
「嗯？沒有啊，真的是純運氣⸺好！就選這台，幫我把風。」修蹲在老舊貨艇旁邊，把破解器黏到門上，不忘碎念。607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfBNpUSwVS

「我也想裝些晶片啊……但每次動改造手術都會失敗⸺醫師生病、刀子壞掉，診所還會被打劫……所以，如妳所見，我只能用小工具入侵低階系統……無人火車或是港口那些企業級伺服器就沒辦法了，它們主機在太空站被商會把持，能力高強的『術士』也不一定能進入。」607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuOCeafPER

奴性堅強的四足機械載著藻胚商品爬進車廂。女郎半信半疑地環顧四周，不經意瞥見遠方天空。壁面隔板的微微反光下，有團黑影不斷蠢動。607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEZiTGtcR2

怪客在震耳欲聾的振翅聲中自言自語，讓形成黑霧的昆蟲群體恣意覓食。就算有人目睹這個光景，也無法辨識那些黃黑相間的生物。因為就連地球都找不到它們蹤跡，更別說是宇宙邊境。607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FLzPNS9Kt

昂天皇帝的石雕塑像平舉雙臂、高高在上地看著簡樸中殿。烏霸皺著眉，感覺不到任何神性。雪星努那的老家裡面，那個用樹枝搭成的圖騰還更能讓他肅然起敬。607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSZ5JRuxKQ

「嗯……」少女按下Do音鍵，隨著琴聲娓娓道來，「從我有記憶開始，就跟著凱笛希父女一起生活。米勒姐姐對我就跟親人一樣，完全不在意這雙奇怪的耳朵……但是，因為戰爭開始了，他們只好把我放在農場這裡，離危險區域越遠越好……」607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9BJOXzojl

經過附近的訊號絕大多數都來自太空站。烏霸更加確信，這就是他要找的東西。封存已久的祕密重見天日⸺不只有亞克，木星圈艦隊戰時，札廣也通報米勒父親的情報給新月軍；土星戰役時，他又再次出賣OBU；直到最近，甚至還想私下跟帝國做生意。607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrJyCWRXUC

隨著年紀增長，強權束縛減弱之後，她才理解到：不管祈求皇帝、還是祈求被取代的古代神靈，都是希望身邊的人能夠活得安好。而最直接的實現方式，就是讓自己先伸出援手。607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcFfqti8kn

也許是風造成的。女店主慢慢走進吧檯，全身的雞皮疙瘩依然沒有消退。突然，老舊地板又發出細小的嘎吱聲。607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7ABzq3OmM

生存本能放大了漸漸逼近的惡意。廚房內的碗盤碰撞代表鴉還在那邊，她不敢輕舉妄動，深怕引起殺機，只能悄悄拿起手邊的半杯赤酒，準備面對近在咫尺的威脅。607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU7XFH71LM

進入戰鬥狀態的鴉衝出廚房，起腳跳過店主、順勢翻越吧檯，猛力踢向敵人。狼刃舉臂抵擋，還是被震退了數尺。殺氣騰騰的雙眼高速逼近，他只能忙著接招。607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeLIlyTo83

口巾男子的鉤拳、掃腿從各個角度轟來；貫掌、踵落，每一擊都對準要害。當狼刃終於適應那個速度，腹腔馬上接到一發更快的痛打。要不是有耐衝擊的機械橫膈膜，他已經無法正常呼吸。607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlrGGqW83a

刺客趕緊撐地後翻、拉開距離，對準礙事者發射鐵爪刀片。鴉屈膝撿起地上的鋼杯檔在身前，成功「捕獲」一根凶器，並將之拔出作勢投擲。607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAX0Drif5X

「何不乾脆搭火車呢？想辦法躲過身份掃描……」607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjtVeup3bm
607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN03OTbqZx
「搭火車就只能上貨船回太空站……那個地方不適合我。」修終於破開最後一道防火牆，先握拳慶祝，再伸手邀約。607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEtKoii97W

椿不想提及往事，正打算跟男子搭上貨艇時，突然看到一個暗紅人影跑上貨運列車。607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAyxMSsAZW

他隨後丟出一個類似遙控開關的裝置。椿發現四周車輛的底部發出紅色閃光，趕緊把修拉出載具。607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLU1yhiHZr
