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85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBlHqfir0P

「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。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JgJzjmaaX
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bmHaHjTaJ
「我知道，這也許是好事，我們可以互相警戒。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMVoVYApPl
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kHddwWiSE
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85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk1qw4wgo8
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8sraN2C7b
「我好了，接下來呢？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBoBYvAknm
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLpB8kEJyh
「我們直接問問櫃檯的人吧，也許他知道些關於『遊俠』的事情。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvfUoijPCt
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLqw3d50Bs
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85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYi54BHDZx
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSQUJovllG
「咳咳…有需要幫忙的嗎？……」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEPuTAjgAf
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAfnLYNdri
「老先生，你有聽過『遊俠』這號人物嗎？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpjk5vYkiA
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtADqqDERUp
「啊！咳咳……你們是…朝聖者嗎？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8wA4vUGE0
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVV4OrMWzr
老頭打量著我們的服裝，顯得有點訝異85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnU9RSbWPu
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JEHANLRhC
「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？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFaK3CMgyn
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUooqaVorsZ
「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……」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUSZlEujj6
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxoVPtRaGG
「他們…死了？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUSoDgl2lu
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilvhroS5ft
我問道，同時把目光投向老者顫抖的雙手85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxo7MQ28jJ
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfaFjBzgaV
「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。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoDODEwv4z
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVR4EQwSxg
老人嘆了口氣，他垂下頭，乾的發白的嘴唇抖動了一下85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡous27yxQTd
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNkzvC1QsH
「你願意告訴我們從哪走嗎？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsUTrgMGKK
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP8OMVwEjU
鬣狗希望能有更詳細的資訊85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwp0gzfaRz
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7LIOMqi9A
「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。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XMFOAdgut
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAfiUVu36v
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85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60cDYvNek5
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcMiHgAmKP
「啊！幹！」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPoON2svfP
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14NuQHj2Sl
「你瘋了嗎？！給我住手！」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHw8bE9MQW
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOoGD9k5R2
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85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB1fcMDygK
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAjMjK3hFD
「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。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHdaCJjYAM
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5rUlyiiEv
「你再輕舉妄動我就要開槍了！」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkMpEUWgPE
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv84PsJwwrH
老頭依然慢條斯理的站起身，正對著我們展開雙臂85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbewledUeXY
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYbS2phocc
「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？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QBR0IjUxW
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7SR93XHUZ
「我要可是……」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH9inmlaGc
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVbRB2YdEg
「賽博，聽他的……」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpamNhk6gQo
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjsInyfNLm
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85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx0moAeRRs
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLCzL2f3Rz
「伸手吧，我只是想幫你們…咳咳…」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq9PFmgWTK
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCywklE6pFq
「……………」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNe0LAEWHn
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCBDGyqvyG
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85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR033dTSALU
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTlhmLKTu0
「你…咳咳…我見過你…？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLl7kxHsLB
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOaUXv6yYA
老人瞇著眼看著我85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wZL7FuKJO
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08JLmfeeFr
「我也不知道。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacAjnVDz6I
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2hJZR9Qgw
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85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtGoyAbdtc
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5Om9JK5Ck
「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。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWt4HVTLaf
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl2MrdKyxZ
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85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd5uvLKcdv
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO3W4CQvsb
「鬣狗，坐穩了，我不是個好駕駛唷！」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiICeJ1cEkS
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWbbA8r2OI
我扣上安全帶，看著所剩不多的電量說道85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyyphAuOaO
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY4zZLlrKg
「自由發揮…我先睡了。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFulBQyioa
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmB19LRibG
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85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCY0XL02UD
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19jKRkwwjh
「朝聖之路狂沙漫漫，黃衣之王虎視眈眈…」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANF3BKrl4P
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZSF5GAkLz
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
