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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ut7jZyWiL
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrznY3xb8L
不會回來了吧？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeoJm0PgG2
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa3iFD9BeQ
從村人們的交談中，丁不得不接受這樣的事實。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhJNS6jbV8
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm46q680fz
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkQdP8Fg8U
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVQ4YOYxU0
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EP5fLheED
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AneRIEneP
不知不覺，他似乎已經很久沒有笑過了。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SfijhzTlc
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVLhKINkYE
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQjcn3AV3z
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcJC4JJ2L0
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDmJHfkKwS
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDfnPmfu7o
只是有時看著這東西會覺得他還能繼續努力下去。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xFiNGAEpj
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtItXvjQf4f
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QvHJT4PH9
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqlOP4Ry7Q
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFdzRqiuow
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMfSJBogM5
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxeAXa4T9L
「還不下雨…！獻上活祭品吧！」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLAbeeWgAC
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ040QWKWzIx
某日夜晚，在丁進入夢鄉前，他隱約聽到如此的聲音。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsqTVdzCnt
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEpMGRV6QD
啊啊，活祭品，是指活生生被獻給神明的動物嗎？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4QDivtuGz
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWxH7cTJS5
「我不要當祭品。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeUAA9URyW
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzviCYkDwRf
嗯？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZVjMzj7Vu
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlAh4AqDAd
「我也不要。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfQpTidC3v
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDA9Hzewy9
不是用動物嗎？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCarXp5oKa
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdl4kO8oGv
「丁呢？」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFznRxDn1k
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzbb4CgnLp
！77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk86ddA5cv8
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBgLgcO0Fi
「對了，還有丁吶。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJecg7k3yX
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokMfrG4wTd
我要被交給神明？在祭壇上活生生地被殺死嗎？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuWsMSi0WN
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsyAq22hT9
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？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNlRm0EliW
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECHOGe7YSH
……回收屍體的時候，這東西會被看到的。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtisvO2UlA7
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinz3vXIi4g
聽著聲音漸弱，等到火光熄滅，丁坐起身，輕巧的離開床舖。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJeRduL0JH
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFnoxj2kL9
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0H5NigGD1
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZZ5IYt9r5
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa4XiFVbyE
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJSalE9aUC
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWhr3HPTeY
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtChJjIeiLM
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZDdR6fqJl
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb7andTSC7
將樹枝插在樹洞前的土壤，丁的嘴角微微上揚。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cZLp4Zzi9
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNPmJ4PGT6
感謝你小時候的照顧。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtI0mXYrAe
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehexMwvNwP
默念著，丁將一直珍藏的寶物纏繞在樹枝上頭。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ826bX2WJYr
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1D7ca6i10
大概明天，我就會被告知這件事了。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPN4W8XkrA
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjb608bnG6
我，一直都......77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXya69OY07
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05103LtRqj
嗤笑自己的情感，丁勾起嘴角，然後站起身。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrUrAfNPh8
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigJhVQBVjb
永別了，以後就再也見不到面了。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4Q1izxsnP
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fR4rKcDav
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhIBkzCstx
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCHVhTdtiN
以後就真的，可以不用再抱著希望，一日復一日的等下去了。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LsOc6gKcv
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jNspGLkfr
抹殺掉自己心中那份期待，丁冷靜地想著。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrRa63PCbt
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHzYi2rB1f
近十年都不曾出現過的人，是不可能在最後一刻出現的。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvbORfz0NX
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bwusthXXU
這樣就好，這樣就可以了。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E4gkMeiYJ
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1jjNx8Bz1
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6CqQDWYX3
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxwTN2fOIv
他不想要再一次的抱著希望，因此他只能自己去接受絕望。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5i5AXhCoq
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnIrzxHvLH
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……77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ztlfxHhcf
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sC2gba7y9
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2llsGdgw0H
「丁，你起床了嗎？」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWP6zIv0Ag
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiB0sYkO0I
「……是。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJjxRkNgQN
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JXa5cHI36
「我們有些話想跟你說。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pIAgf4cyS
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VmCHsQfoF
不是一個人，就算想逃也逃不掉，對吧？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgglrF1Fpm
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR08kP7Y1gf
丁在心裡想著，一邊聆聽村長那一長串的理由，然後點頭。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3U3LcSXrP
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxovfgTeQj
「我願意。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUuC2N37ff
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXwTzIgzPr
然後在眾人鬆了一口氣的情況下，被包圍著前往祭場。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYXeGMQGIZ
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ezHLdzCIt
「換上這個。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMR59bfibt
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14RQVJXOAi
「戴上這個。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcvfxqCHTC
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIfmNpkmmf
「還有這個。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UmyL7gftl
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSHSPF06XQ
「喂，把那個拿來。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HJzf4cszj
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4jTymeGtF
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoFXQBH1ca
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wF38orJWj
「不要恨我啊，丁。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndeHbdKXyG
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC5Mz39XxM
村長說著，也朝著他的方向拜了一拜。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPXAlGgJ4n
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp9eVRVRpJ
「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。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzWmE3YEWw
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpPxWfevGg
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB18iQ48loc
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIOsPPFrdV
而村人們你看看我、我看看你，便在陸續道謝後離開了祭壇。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4CIAI2MUA
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWZxeqIppC
「…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……」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4PiIdhizK
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8VxidFuI8
丁小聲的碎念，像是要告訴自己，也像是在偷偷的警告村人。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5RgFOSjwP
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYk5yu8qGS
「永別了，請多保重。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDEewi5Iko
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppJqDhsbxr
如果沒有黃泉存在的話。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb3g211Yj7
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEdlSVwBXH
丁維持著端正的姿勢，直到確認村人們走遠。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdCR4bpPDm
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstUPq41j8N
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？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8W4uW1YVP
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSBUrg8Zas
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RyTLudfKE
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJzA6cEO4J
為什麼，為什麼沒有來接我？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAECFhQis6P
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05u8L8ZL2o
因為我忘了你叫我的名字？還是我忘了你的樣子？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo2f52OPn1
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX03HeG1oT
你真的，拋棄了我嗎？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh6obDVlxe
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXqISdqJTi
再也，見不到面了。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasBUY5Mxuv
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbehWvhXJol
永遠。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOEW7IV6C5
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiyuqlFkAa
完全放下希望，原來是那麼難受的事嗎？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHdWYFtqjY
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToDO8dOhGq
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9egXIBYVN5
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mpqTUXWJ0
說不定，再多等幾天他就會出現了啊！77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKIz2wxj2h
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD4TnnbQOa
悲憤交加，周圍丁看不到的鬼火逐漸被他的恨意吸引過來。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS65iZjkTI
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLTSBCog1C
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。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNcllPHmXI
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT5XtYGKNW
是鬼喔。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSHZ1x5aUu
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg64omuZk50
腦海裡有個聲音說著。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIFbK21vXU
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATWUvst4gb
因為跟鬼火結合，你以後就是鬼了。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu30awcernO
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7cMlHWERJ
跟神明完全無緣的詞彙。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSQ7xGcQMX
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK440ygdSl
是鬼的話，就可以去到黃泉狠狠的懲戒那些人了吧？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenE6RoMzoX
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04FE38tWKy
從祭壇上坐起身，丁張開眼睛。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BE6b4VHg7
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnCV6O8kHg
我是鬼，就算真的有神明他也不會想要這樣的祭品的。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyllIhWic3
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1a3gkT9wy
然後離開祭壇。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXcCJDtR72
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJZMuf4eQf
就連那個人，也不會要我吧？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWSP8Sbmiq
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1TDXqI3FP
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjptSYCgkZ
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQAo7TZi4G
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhEmSS02DR
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrmqeb6955
因為，我已經不是人了。
