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95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1t6xzsf11

「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。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9caJu5vWA
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX77Q0gULJ8
「我知道，這也許是好事，我們可以互相警戒。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72YpxmFdIo
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6ngFxVL24
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95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy22PDfvcu5
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CeQbJ2p0t
「我好了，接下來呢？」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZOVZWZ1PD
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtker5pJsYd
「我們直接問問櫃檯的人吧，也許他知道些關於『遊俠』的事情。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7lc4p1Loi
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNJYSdtyqo
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95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFoqq9i7XU
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN5nYNivnr
「咳咳…有需要幫忙的嗎？……」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZdGqdT0GL
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotKmAIjnv7
「老先生，你有聽過『遊俠』這號人物嗎？」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1HHiTIMUD
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtfhxdpRwe
「啊！咳咳……你們是…朝聖者嗎？」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPOU8ZkK8e
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOiEog2as0
老頭打量著我們的服裝，顯得有點訝異95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9YtKs6Crh
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoy1udzl0y
「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？」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4mQRTgPmM
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzsMNYW07q
「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……」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xkxj028gi
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4eJERIGOx
「他們…死了？」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUWx3RniEg
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4bLxvYZop
我問道，同時把目光投向老者顫抖的雙手95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGDyQ31cVz
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX05DlhkcD
「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。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBiH2GYhGO
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgNhDhWKIm
老人嘆了口氣，他垂下頭，乾的發白的嘴唇抖動了一下95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwZW51Dk7y
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfoD7rSDX6
「你願意告訴我們從哪走嗎？」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQsdwYBMCh
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2uAPvGRvg
鬣狗希望能有更詳細的資訊95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJPHbuArxV
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5yGJ5AsLg
「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。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyEdVEs25S
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA1NHI5esT
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95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDGHGYBG3r
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy5MTuFpZh
「啊！幹！」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHrUNlOkuA
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCeaa5znn9
「你瘋了嗎？！給我住手！」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnkMsumR0s
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGjDYLqpmD
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95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubwqCEimQE
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjUqor4TnB
「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。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2KzEnNH81
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOtywMateI
「你再輕舉妄動我就要開槍了！」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFAQA4jzSf
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiyx27xLVu
老頭依然慢條斯理的站起身，正對著我們展開雙臂95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSsPNeRSpn
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV13CviX81
「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？」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz134xhbI9g
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3qQeauDo8
「我要可是……」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpcVbeQ5p5
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrV6cikhnR
「賽博，聽他的……」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3WybBBXiR
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0zqdpblDj
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95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1UUAArPEv
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSUw8aHSMV
「伸手吧，我只是想幫你們…咳咳…」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvJdLsjEqy
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMbZiWTS7c
「……………」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz1lNH3LKu
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yf6NHrDiN
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95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pTZWVglfY
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6rohTBtk4
「你…咳咳…我見過你…？」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMu6wRvHL7
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeembsYoYKZ
老人瞇著眼看著我95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfm4w8KY73
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAmJi4K6zV
「我也不知道。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL3hc3wUtF
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizs2OMxXYX
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95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZfnL880ZB
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8pjMPKNpJ
「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。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusu5SyPlS4
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS4Nk0UL6z
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95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ8YId8p3T
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCVwFwPG34
「鬣狗，坐穩了，我不是個好駕駛唷！」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgmlZbnV8m
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF2leKlsbL
我扣上安全帶，看著所剩不多的電量說道95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtnr18uYEP
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7HFpzQa6c
「自由發揮…我先睡了。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr3h0F6lQy
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB01hQcqYBX
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95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCetcNLvf5
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GU1GVW4mH
「朝聖之路狂沙漫漫，黃衣之王虎視眈眈…」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOkf6LDKQ6
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7UadthEAt
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
