球殼城市的邊陲郊區，拖板運輸車在山道上行駛。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5f2iSFTjl
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2fXEP9hKY
沿路沒有草木、沒有太陽，只有灰色土地、灰色管線。駕駛座上的青年臉龐，為這個灰階世界帶來少許血色。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YX8g7socd
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrFP9K0olO
「你說反抗，是什麼意思？」齊波問道。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGHQBej1o7
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHnD1zJ314
「等等，這邊人比較多，你們先蹲低。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ1o7ISZfQ
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnCcxDN3su
塔格直視前方，讓運輸車減速開過一座高聳建築。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbmQPpHLtH
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtduNBrVMd
雪白建材散發莊嚴，三根煙囪直通外壁。齊波瞄向窗外，看到人們手牽手走進設施，幸福地笑著。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dJcKGll4F
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJORA5iars
「都是老人？」嘉娜莉瞇起眼睛觀察，突然，朵魅的影像出現在建築表面。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga74eQYtSS
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiwBfdpL8P
不用害怕，不用哀傷……我們知道這天會來，出生就知道這天會來。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsnIAF777z
圓頂絕無意外，沿著鋪好的軌道行走，幸福就是如此簡單。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lLwejZswI
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKp6ygJoG7
黑白相間長髮、灰色肌膚的虛擬女孩朗誦詩句，用平穩的語調安撫人群。要不是齊波知道她的真面目，早就被完美音頻觸動內心。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV3oWgCuGh
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn202IcU0I
「那是『回收廠』……也是我反抗的原因之一……」塔格沒有笑，不像其他圓頂同胞。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrsomGl5Zh
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsuszwb7TH
「安樂死……嗎？」艾嘉‧斐南迪雙掌緊扣，擔心親族的現狀。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz6CXkPt1s
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ725qrfDh87
車輛遠離人群，嘉娜莉坐起身來，「那種景象，我在資料庫看過，『烏托邦』的反義詞……是什麼去了？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx1ARRx2CJ
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BTMNjU4Z9
「『無』托邦？」齊波隨口一說。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6YpCVJ9KV
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx3ITVjHhz
「反烏托邦啦……」烏霸翹起腳，嘲笑少年的無知，「沒什麼好擔心，我們有機體，還有幫手。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0nfOENFyA
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINN3d1xwOD
「沒錯，幫手，就是我！我覺得『無托邦』這個詞很貼、貼切⸺」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy9eNJ0FM1
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhehR3cHe83
機械語音傳出儀錶板，眾人還在疑惑時，車子已經駛近地下設施。鐵門緊緊關上，隔絕了外界的光線。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG28Fgint2
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5trHwbbRK
「還有人跟你一夥？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmod5djpwj
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1vr4ezp2S
引擎熄滅，齊波隨著塔格跳到地上。照明裝置啟動，舊坑道散亂著各種機械零件，還有複雜管線四處攀附。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2sXp59TiA
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5p4fZaI61
喀噠喀噠的腳步聲漸漸接近，一台機器人走入光線。圓筒身形、四肢短小，兩顆電子瞳孔在頭部螢幕閃爍。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD6X972q9e
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboyleR9zbi
「各位好，可以叫我L2，或是溝通介面、管家、打雜的⸺」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT2ONzxlB4
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR1UXhyMPG
「它幫我對抗朵魅很久了。」塔格彎下身子，拍了拍膝蓋高度的戰友，「我們的求救訊號真的有用，帶大家了解一下狀況吧！」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDT0cqmWvX
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHxEYFayBX
宇宙暗號的來源揭曉。艾嘉帶著三位駕駛，跟隨嚮導走進倉庫。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FEoXPRiT7
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqls397zMh
「抱歉，沒東西招待，食物配給只有塔格的份⸺」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckwm9ZotG0
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD18GlViDSL
「L2，圓頂到底是什麼地方？」齊波移開沉重零件，找到空間坐下，「為什麼這裡的人都怪怪的？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NsVcTBAqV
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTSjzGn1fL
「這裡，是德爾芬的實驗場⸺用來實驗人類！」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGLNFMnnkE
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuLj3FYPsh
「什麼？」烏霸抱胸站著，跟其他外來者一樣滿臉疑惑。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOZqLXdUen
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu29aQVEWe
「我稱之為：人類社會最大幸福度的統治實驗⸺你們也有看到，所有居民都遵循『占卜』過活吧？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmokBVzEKT6
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tUcGMrX78
「對，好像沒有那個東西，就不會做事一樣。」嘉娜莉指向塔格左臂的螢幕裝置。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2mBdjUU02
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDasOQQiHI
「那是德爾芬複製人格『朵魅』所設計的系統……」L2低下頭，電子雙眼看來有點自責。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ470Mfpd23k
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55q7Vevg3f
「為每一位居民客製化，藉由基因資訊與數據學習，把從出生到死亡的『所有行程』運算出來⸺規劃出絕對不會有意外的、一帆風順的人生。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI99vsB1ds
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrxvXjTY1n
無自主性、無色無味的世界。可說是偏激父母的嚴格控制，更完全地泯滅人性及反抗因子。眾人難以吸收，塔格率先打破沉默。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjThrZGJMJ
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4yCpAWdCb
「父母由電腦湊合，出生就被決定未來……我遇到L2之前，睡多久、吃多少、去哪裡，全都要看占卜決定，而且我還甘之如飴……」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P74BbDTDL
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOMrTXCN1C
「你的家人……去了回收廠嗎……」艾嘉看著塔格，聲音不像以往果斷。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eT0RMNDSa
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLPCpl4CEv
「對，我們什麼時候死亡，也都被決定了。」青年秀出左臂螢幕的時間，那就是他的餘命。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HwB9dAWlL
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalzB7SniNl
「難怪你要反抗，」烏霸嗤之以鼻，「這種鬼地方，一點自由都沒有。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg0p1ma856
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8yh2xbsvT
「自由？我不清楚那是什麼，」塔格轉身打開暗門，波紋的倒影映照在牆上，「我反抗的原因，都在這裡……」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxHvFWiaya
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcCs9Cu8jv
長方體水缸佔據暗房，強化玻璃內部充滿透明液體，一名短髮孩童穿著緊身衣，在裡面載浮載沉。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ABdZXacor
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD94h4Ycfc
塔格避開地上的氧氣管線，輕聲走向水缸，當他拿起兒童用的小型臂環時，那孩子還是睜開了眼睛。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFetDvOzmfo
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgubhEPvQZn
「弟弟……還是妹妹？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd2OkCpkGS
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMWkmoT6oD
齊波看著水中雙眸，感受到純樸的溫柔。塔格聳了個肩，對水缸比出向上的手勢。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0b2Gw3nzP
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQUOHdqXos
「噗哈……很高興認識大家，我是艾卡。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8ZWLTDgrh
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIetzJaggz1
孩童浮出水面，露出興奮笑容，「對不起，我一天只能離開一小時，明天再跟大家握手。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfppWb2Chpc
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsHhG9bukt
「保持體力，很快就要行動了。」塔格伸出手，隔著玻璃感受親人體溫。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffOWXl8xF0
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo06tLXDdG
「這位孩子也是實驗產物，基因缺陷，造成內臟骨質脆弱，無法在重力環境生存⸺原本在十年前就要去回收廠了。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Tf11Hb1ci
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA0zCL4Ld0
房門關上，L2補充說明，「但是，溫柔的塔格找到我，我找到方法駭入系統，隱藏他們的資料，也做了一些治療裝置……盡量拖延時間。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQhJjanPRC
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayQZEoxcYp
圓頂青年拿起兒童臂環，上面顯示「10085分鐘」。一個禮拜之後，艾卡的生命就會終止。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjo2ztvs14
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYBkoCFatE
「宇宙的無重力空間是最後希望，我需要你們的幫助，你們是從宇宙來的，沒錯吧？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf2cfpadFZ
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR8idtFKb5
「沒錯……」齊波欲言又止。思考行動的後果，是他學到的教訓，「艦長……您覺得呢？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqycC7sZVu
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKvrVxOfUH
「先不說如何讓艾卡留在宇宙……我們剩下這些人，要怎麼奪回船艦？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIoVY9PNKe
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfXFMV2qA7
「哈！我們等這麼久了，當然有擬定作戰⸺」L2仰起頭部，在天花板上照出圓頂地圖，「交通路線塔格很熟，問題是護衛機甲⸺它們由朵魅控制，必須進入核心主機才能干預。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpz8LPv5MT
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ND2sFOd9i
地圖顯示，圓頂外殼中心點有一座倒掛的建築物，俯瞰著整座城市。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnL5RMemCm
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkSpI1YKlh
「核心就在那裡，要先搶回太空船才能上去，」塔格接著說，「改寫系統，關閉無人機，我們就可以安全到宇宙。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g7TaG55q0
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXwnnGOIji
「所以要靠兩架機體一路打過去？」烏霸雙手放在後腦勺，「不能從這裡直接修改系統？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5g9kFRAPn
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8LboKk0Zz
「入侵失敗會引起注意……這次劫車就夠驚險了。」塔格起身拿了幾張紙，交給努那駕駛員。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMrLy29o9s
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjDhyGFpKF
「這是……飛輪球賽？」齊波看著活力十足的廣告傳單說：「真不像這裡的風格。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUusQ7dAMfs
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVTlz94YQh
「沒錯！五天後，就是一年一度的競技典禮，這裡唯一一個『有變數』的事件！」L2晃動金屬爪子，做出跑步姿勢。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGeMOfac9t
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8R8w5B3Ys
「朵魅發現，人類如果沒有接觸『未知現象』，腦細胞活力會一代代減少……這場競賽，占卜系統不會介入，什麼事都有可能發生，所以，朵魅會消耗很多精力來預防重大事故。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTGtEzDH5w
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56tnugeCGd
「所以，我們要贏下比賽？」齊波問道。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH0lqMQgKw
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhEunun52b
「不用贏，」嘉娜莉扶著下巴推理，「只要轉移注意力，把衛兵都引開領航者號！」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINTa6yrLoR
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQudS3DffD3
「正確，我會修改資料讓你們加入熱身賽，超出朵魅預期地搗亂吧⸺有兩個名額，要登錄誰呢？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrRljCZZEB
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSy9YLmqzO
「哼，聽起來很有趣，卡涅特‧烏霸，駕駛燃魂參賽。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMgKXcygaS
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjJ5Em03NH
「我駕駛納蘭白鯨，名子是烈南德‧齊波尼亞。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2kCkRWN9P
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLkNPSS3oL
「烈南德，嗯……」機器人眼睛閃爍，似乎想起什麼，458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz42MuYPbkd
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8lypLe92k
「我跟夸曼尼負責救出組員，」艾嘉恢復了一些信心，「L2，進入系統之後，能幫我找到特定居住者嗎？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HMtak0VQc
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWCY75O8d3
「當然⸺所有基因資料都在那邊。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyZwPsJRxq
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuf3FvxaY7
「好。」女艦長把頭髮往後撥，輕拍雙頰打起精神，「五天後奪回領航者號，解放圓頂同胞，然後，上宇宙面對D。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFvdlnqJas
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZXpZhiidt
「把手疊在我的上面，這是古代的激勵方法！」嘉娜莉向團隊成員伸出右手，「我們做得到！」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAxqY3UqYz
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6Y4SGN059
「我白天要照常工作，艾卡就拜託各位。」塔格不明白手勢含意，高揚的心跳還是蓋過遲疑。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx3FjciygH
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5LuExc0nQ
「這次絕對不會輸了。」烏霸半推半就地配合。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oFTdJoX1P
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPCCGdimfL
「艦長？」齊波邀請領導者，希望能盡釋前嫌。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX64WXvMOL0
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvnGVyHMkL
細秀卻結實的掌心疊上少年手背，艾嘉肯定地微笑。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa1LE452V6

五隻手與一根金屬爪子，讓「無」托邦的角落滲入各種色彩。
