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。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fJ7dB7akJ
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCzWNHcS7H
不會回來了吧？61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF4UmFPhQ9
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wglfAbp7w
從村人們的交談中，丁不得不接受這樣的事實。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXzhrykXEX
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8X7uFXpan
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。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMN71A4Ghe
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iBRIHdeIr
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。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZsXu17spR
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTvcguVvvV
不知不覺，他似乎已經很久沒有笑過了。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm0xBMuoOw
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqLbMpDQFp
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。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30oMSOSDj3
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n1PCfJgtN
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。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjLY1jdx9p
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSfdkQawQ2
只是有時看著這東西會覺得他還能繼續努力下去。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn32IREepwt
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP5z26Ms3K
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。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl7LIc0AMe
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY2CKl7qHr
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。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycYpsFD53d
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebBTpMPc1c
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLw0xx2YNu
「還不下雨…！獻上活祭品吧！」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNHrjEbYwS
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIPJvWwFZn
某日夜晚，在丁進入夢鄉前，他隱約聽到如此的聲音。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNAs6lla8V
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHHs4TuYpx
啊啊，活祭品，是指活生生被獻給神明的動物嗎？61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE3KFsZQ7c
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0Nuw1HQKz
「我不要當祭品。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl41ROVBS3s
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo7fFtfcok
嗯？61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWr1XOB45R
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYbCPpR3kb
「我也不要。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjT5w673IC
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnXrVctfSe
不是用動物嗎？61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkPR6XxkF6
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9akYbimvWP
「丁呢？」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w7ISTKohy
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdU6aBwmCb
！61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rtLxx2D5n
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRImB7n9d1x
「對了，還有丁吶。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSQCIazLbk
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6p2v00tdl
我要被交給神明？在祭壇上活生生地被殺死嗎？61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9GMr49rk8
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkYmtPynBW
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？61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrlIaDph9h
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtmON4j6zY
……回收屍體的時候，這東西會被看到的。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO8YmIKUSE
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn32dZaUlID
聽著聲音漸弱，等到火光熄滅，丁坐起身，輕巧的離開床舖。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGTAmvamLt
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYqW7BNd73
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。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o1eOdqw9D
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFibUGZjPUA
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。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnw7juC5TA
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcXIxu0zQ6
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。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCarvpA1aEM
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxcGDwDE5x
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。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6TKI2lHOZ
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeME1Zf5Ku2
將樹枝插在樹洞前的土壤，丁的嘴角微微上揚。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOHW3hYm4R
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPlfIx77NA
感謝你小時候的照顧。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkIvEWg4cp
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6LRqcuQO4
默念著，丁將一直珍藏的寶物纏繞在樹枝上頭。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZU6GxT563
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU18qhiocWU
大概明天，我就會被告知這件事了。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrHgYMMpgW
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SPvzen6Mr
我，一直都......61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzmaqAeQVZ
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU4MH0UHXq
嗤笑自己的情感，丁勾起嘴角，然後站起身。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJABewB6Sie
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVN5qOnPw9
永別了，以後就再也見不到面了。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCDlWbPgLe
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LRyPRJWBn
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。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTTJeCPerz
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOU2aTynK9
以後就真的，可以不用再抱著希望，一日復一日的等下去了。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH3PuESDRa
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz6gL7hTVH
抹殺掉自己心中那份期待，丁冷靜地想著。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCW1FjVsOG
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioj8ndLRnh
近十年都不曾出現過的人，是不可能在最後一刻出現的。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWYw2KEPls
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXMSElHoJ9
這樣就好，這樣就可以了。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTEtaOubam
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QdulDSfXn
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。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2kngKmpmM
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVN9QDMQpL
他不想要再一次的抱著希望，因此他只能自己去接受絕望。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4PXHGbeYc
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyBgQQNZgX
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……61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZSckLs3MJ
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQatVaVXjs
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01GpmgH6c5
「丁，你起床了嗎？」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI6mjqVgrY
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGrDFs31oE
「……是。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6wd4D92QN
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtC729PVvY
「我們有些話想跟你說。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DbxFtYMDT
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oF7KXFlQZ
不是一個人，就算想逃也逃不掉，對吧？61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EX14sfPxO
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMvz8PhATp
丁在心裡想著，一邊聆聽村長那一長串的理由，然後點頭。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOiMF0NkQr
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbkO8dvirz
「我願意。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlaIQiFtwL
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nl1tmuSVl
然後在眾人鬆了一口氣的情況下，被包圍著前往祭場。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEXDTGTEJO
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eFibYYuj6
「換上這個。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74PUNu9ykV
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkbOvbLkmL
「戴上這個。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg9xCVWNYJ
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgATqtKOCuD
「還有這個。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtdWnbM0Qw
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK6lgM6RUL
「喂，把那個拿來。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VK7Ji4Jdl
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoySpNDOBJv
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。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNysUwnbOZ6
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOewbK40NpS
「不要恨我啊，丁。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhNInHGKeK
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL3T1BOWXl
村長說著，也朝著他的方向拜了一拜。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEaDaJVglC
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMgSO8W2xw
「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。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GdxmGrH7t
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg21BaDrzg
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。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNoiqk51J1
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvWOvZ2M4G
而村人們你看看我、我看看你，便在陸續道謝後離開了祭壇。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbezdkqHGtl
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQogoIiVIH
「…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……」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPq0YOk84o
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIabbDCIzj
丁小聲的碎念，像是要告訴自己，也像是在偷偷的警告村人。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrazIj0qEEF
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS3d24SGWk
「永別了，請多保重。」61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyV7vh84ea
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDaQBkpiea
如果沒有黃泉存在的話。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27ddBQMz1b
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY6veZhjTY
丁維持著端正的姿勢，直到確認村人們走遠。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvLgp5mMhD
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxRmVXqwa6
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？61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ34itbUKtD
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgYxpz02Ee
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。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSccWTFji9
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2qLLWrhwM
為什麼，為什麼沒有來接我？61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqFdroWg3r
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYaUiJ0x9K
因為我忘了你叫我的名字？還是我忘了你的樣子？61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY1PvlTmt8
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTG2BYL15N
你真的，拋棄了我嗎？61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovqK26i50D
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyy8SZhGlE
再也，見不到面了。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e8dFhGdce
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9BmUjxu7O
永遠。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1VxkvAM1G
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRmjETthTl
完全放下希望，原來是那麼難受的事嗎？61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD42gfbD7sr
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoGKJuSLGv
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。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWPYPLQspl
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO6gUeU60m
說不定，再多等幾天他就會出現了啊！61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrHgHolk9u
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgIIshVNKR
悲憤交加，周圍丁看不到的鬼火逐漸被他的恨意吸引過來。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvBDaOpN5Z
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQzc3w4sjq
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。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQMGUCbg4s
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2tF585l5o
是鬼喔。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXq0nwhCRt
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhRRerKRuR
腦海裡有個聲音說著。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnpscT9eNI
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUvYVIB0zu
因為跟鬼火結合，你以後就是鬼了。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPOaU3vzqR
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgI2rEmDIM
跟神明完全無緣的詞彙。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslHfchDzNy
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfkTosaTUy
是鬼的話，就可以去到黃泉狠狠的懲戒那些人了吧？61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC2KM4Rs2k
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6g1EBBu7e
從祭壇上坐起身，丁張開眼睛。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhTKSokG1m
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgR07MY1ky
我是鬼，就算真的有神明他也不會想要這樣的祭品的。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbZ1n1H1gm
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevxwbqogql
然後離開祭壇。61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy32kEbrsmK
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WRtpDNc28
就連那個人，也不會要我吧？61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hP86v3BrH
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCTx9RCmrd
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmHa5d8eLh
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmWTxe6cnB
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrTLEWExs9
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TGZfLXCYe
因為，我已經不是人了。
