等我醒來時，還趴在桌子上，桌前放著舊時代的油燈，早已經不知道在什麼時候熄滅了，風吹的窗戶吱嘎作響，可能再用力一吹就要整片飛走了，我看了錶上時間———是凌晨四點，鬣狗站在窗邊，他盯著我然後點點頭96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Et5AqTdE1
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAVlxayGm6
「一個夜行者跟一個日行者最佳的行動時間點也許只有這一刻，但再過幾個鐘頭可能就要換我累了。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH9ZUA3kBl
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjomPUdFL9f
「我知道，這也許是好事，我們可以互相警戒。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wC67RDC0R
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZqWNPosBT
我穿上裝甲，配附外掛充電器、確認子彈跟武器等等……等準備好了之後，我拍了拍鬣狗的肩膀96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLQXPgOSdV
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcLJpAAF6S
「我好了，接下來呢？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtNum2cmnS
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNc0c1kFM5
「我們直接問問櫃檯的人吧，也許他知道些關於『遊俠』的事情。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqmACxM1WI
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGC6xOPbGj
下了樓，樓梯的吱嘎聲讓櫃檯打盹的老頭緩緩轉頭往我們這邊看過來96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw7nzAB1tp
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRth1FtrGE9
「咳咳…有需要幫忙的嗎？……」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4a13L6JQW
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj7SATVDFH
「老先生，你有聽過『遊俠』這號人物嗎？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFGnMaSU6x
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSZeMS747D
「啊！咳咳……你們是…朝聖者嗎？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Onldmt3rr
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41JjyD9Zrf
老頭打量著我們的服裝，顯得有點訝異96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPMvX8k0ra
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEc9IjnTjl
「沒錯，我們在找尋正確通往『稀望教堂』的捷徑，你知道些什麼嗎？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQWeA5zN7I
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3olIF75tMP
「咳咳…『朝聖之路狂沙漫漫、黃衣之王虎視眈眈』捷徑是有…..但並不會更輕鬆……咳咳…相反的，有更多人犧牲在捷徑的路上…前陣子，也有一夥四人小隊前往朝聖，我想……他們不會再回來了……」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjRKcMPyiD
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxGyBtE6Nz
「他們…死了？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYmxAaM5sf
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8KvJ4sVPy
我問道，同時把目光投向老者顫抖的雙手96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L9UMNaKpr
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtHigaQTHR
「我不知道……但如果他們真的通過了試煉而變得強大…咳咳…又怎麼會回來看著這滿目瘡痍呢？沒有理由……畢竟這裡已經沒救了。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p7q1TZbtj
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TdgZTertk
老人嘆了口氣，他垂下頭，乾的發白的嘴唇抖動了一下96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrd2Q03VIr
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3CnWJMDxz
「你願意告訴我們從哪走嗎？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBRFbKFBnp
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecycfsZOt9
鬣狗希望能有更詳細的資訊96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTYi2zlJ2T
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0pu5HLJBs
「過了我們城牆靠北的管制點…咳咳…那個墓碑形狀的護城大橋，如果你們被擋下來了⋯⋯告訴他們你是黃衣之王的信徒……咳咳……來吧，手伸出來。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeJfR5clXF
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNNINeIily
老人接過鬣狗的手，突然從腰間抽出一把小刀插入他的手掌然後快速的亂劃一通96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfbOUUIGGe
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKpApioudV
「啊！幹！」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oDrQ45CP2
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHFTx5cdCc
「你瘋了嗎？！給我住手！」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrvTOH2dgZ
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqVDCgkYhq
我拿著槍抵住了老頭的腦袋，而鬣狗則痛苦的壓住自己的傷口，鮮血不斷從指縫中滴下來96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiWivxpxzj
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZaZ9EhO2q
「嘿！要過那道關卡……咳咳…你必須要有印記，我在幫助你們……否則你們是不會被放行的。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPPEfz78xK
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5H3mKRttw
「你再輕舉妄動我就要開槍了！」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhciJ3MndUX
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqvCv9eS88
老頭依然慢條斯理的站起身，正對著我們展開雙臂96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WeiG6PHXa
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO776gQfK3a
「咳咳……如果是真的朝聖者，他必定願意承擔此等痛楚…咳咳咳… 很簡單，你真的有心要尋找教堂嗎？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpana4zm29
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHxdzr57SO
「我要可是……」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOnA1iIXHw
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtnV2fykxD
「賽博，聽他的……」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz1bOSdaCk
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4oASwf1dY
鬣狗打開他的手掌，裡頭確實有類似符號的傷口，綻開的傷痕仍在滲血，這畫面怵目心驚96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0E13mVFC8
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVts6bjdqK
「伸手吧，我只是想幫你們…咳咳…」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jOqvwllxC
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd6d7ZDyr3
「……………」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zIjSfL0ep
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6T4tda2gL
我看見老人用比剛才還用力的力道刺入我的掌心，輕微像是電擊一般的觸感後，卻只有劃開一道毫無感覺的皮層，裡頭的也不是血，而是銀質的液體緩緩流出，可以看到那傷口正在迅速的癒合96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKnSOXsotx
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMgjBwpz9a
「你…咳咳…我見過你…？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG0xNddAF6
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ir8ZZx9gF
老人瞇著眼看著我96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxt3GUetKL
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnW6f462vM
「我也不知道。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhT6ppvdMK
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1ASClFpvQ
鬣狗靜靜的看著這一切，片刻後確定我的傷口形成印記後才開口96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh6i7PV9op
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQEuM0TM5D
「我的手現在沒辦法開車，而且我覺得有點想睡覺了，你幫我個忙，讓我在車子裡待一會。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNytRV0eS1
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCsbr1lXff
我點點頭，主副駕切換，我看著遠方高聳浮誇的城牆以及那座醒目高聳的墓碑狀橋樑，它就這樣豎立著像是某個巨人的墳墓，沒錯，我得直直往那裡看過去96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWom3S0HXUS
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGUVBqygTT
「鬣狗，坐穩了，我不是個好駕駛唷！」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH78d3XqfA
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgK2o51qkK
我扣上安全帶，看著所剩不多的電量說道96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUezb1pBCh9
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUsXtu6Yf8
「自由發揮…我先睡了。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEQJ5vQX8e
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHNLAb8L7M
他不久後便沈沈睡去，我則看著刺眼的陽光照射進滿是沙塵的玻璃窗上，任憑那光亮反射在我的身上，黃色、金色、象牙色，一切都在黃沙與金光的映照下顯得荒涼、熾熱96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EPGGfOt4s
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KTFQZzyhN
「朝聖之路狂沙漫漫，黃衣之王虎視眈眈…」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk1RQJwxdx
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxd49A8TYr
我念念有詞，看著這惡劣而陌生的環境，內心也變得不踏實起來，我有種感覺，自己曾經就在這條路上行駛過，尤其經過每個斷掉的巨型雕像、或者風蝕得厲害的路標時，那種既視感格外強烈
「鬣狗，你這麼拼命的找尋真相，真的只是因為老闆交代這麼簡單嗎？」
我喃喃道，既使我知道熟睡的他根本不會回應我，行駛過的痕跡揚起陣陣風沙，在那未知的領域必定有著我們不得而知的凶險存在
