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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiN6Beo93O
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4JVWWnjBo
不會回來了吧？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsCarDd9UX
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7SxzvRDHu
從村人們的交談中，丁不得不接受這樣的事實。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4MuPEVFmj
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANmKyDafmd
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBNc4tgKpg
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOn1gJ4aED
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryE3Iw6Beb
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B3Y9P0M51
不知不覺，他似乎已經很久沒有笑過了。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PcAUzTJKL
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPv94dxV8M
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkCnPdxr1T
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUR1i2mTWC
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7zLkOs2rR
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM6M8Y4OPm
只是有時看著這東西會覺得他還能繼續努力下去。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDnvZ0h0o8
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJuCNCm0Iq
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0aDUiVEIC
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWKkC9Xyea
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2LJjpWH5B
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa08JFSFkya

「還不下雨…！獻上活祭品吧！」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVt5JFymJv
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcmEmjGmig
某日夜晚，在丁進入夢鄉前，他隱約聽到如此的聲音。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu76q5TFGk2
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis7kGcWEts
啊啊，活祭品，是指活生生被獻給神明的動物嗎？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgLBaXwpXO
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4MLeCG4u3
「我不要當祭品。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uCn6qI4Zu
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdQBTIfkJn
嗯？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowSuBZtiJj
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjoMpzWiOs
「我也不要。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3aJkZeXBK
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanrsiNWPWL
不是用動物嗎？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSubepCaNWS
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXcEJ50Sb4
「丁呢？」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl81VZhgeP
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5HkboKMJF
！79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuRmbzQaiE
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRdT4udUfM
「對了，還有丁吶。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJmambxxmU
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJx5dwIma8
我要被交給神明？在祭壇上活生生地被殺死嗎？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaqKZGj5OF
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGvCiMKyKI
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？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjjxjHBhaM
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79JHvjpCzE
……回收屍體的時候，這東西會被看到的。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVTXvJmi0t
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWpeGMvc9B
聽著聲音漸弱，等到火光熄滅，丁坐起身，輕巧的離開床舖。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeOTmxwG64
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VS62P8uWy
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAxFaO9mKg
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSImFTqykxo
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9oL7auPmn
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc5oJpchQ7
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzsAVS6VtX
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwtEK7RPjq
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cClB2xZCc
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAyt1xXPZZ
將樹枝插在樹洞前的土壤，丁的嘴角微微上揚。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz6scxNC8C
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUIbnRcH10
感謝你小時候的照顧。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtRNIWABOx
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70Ah1LJw4W
默念著，丁將一直珍藏的寶物纏繞在樹枝上頭。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnAttXmOIs
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7YgBOB4bo
大概明天，我就會被告知這件事了。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdVauMDjir
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33G8PtfOxb
我，一直都......79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqfmbFmes8
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkRILwOZ85
嗤笑自己的情感，丁勾起嘴角，然後站起身。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9diWIpirx
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpEozaLIZL
永別了，以後就再也見不到面了。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcbkmXOQAh
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqwlTnMlgi
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0omjni8Dk
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDpPabUVu8
以後就真的，可以不用再抱著希望，一日復一日的等下去了。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WUJyovPtV
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6MGTSLOoK
抹殺掉自己心中那份期待，丁冷靜地想著。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiKBbpu9fY
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6di0RI9d8
近十年都不曾出現過的人，是不可能在最後一刻出現的。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcMxBM9Dps
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO1BlbYBO4
這樣就好，這樣就可以了。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5d4D3XynK
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsgWZ0lRMK
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExLsSQxjO0
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglO38AZXML
他不想要再一次的抱著希望，因此他只能自己去接受絕望。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGio2fEgaz
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcNeDWcsby
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……79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrkgNAoELl
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbITsY8Xea1
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIxDe3isqP
「丁，你起床了嗎？」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWH10vUGM9
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBLQqIob5I
「……是。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m1XttkZgO
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXmD7aEuJz
「我們有些話想跟你說。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FDa162U5j
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqpmU8elqg
不是一個人，就算想逃也逃不掉，對吧？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDGP21ufxk
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVam7HjiX1W
丁在心裡想著，一邊聆聽村長那一長串的理由，然後點頭。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVqT8Hc0Sj
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFPClvxxEw
「我願意。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQEVq8yZeb
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96ZatoqVt1
然後在眾人鬆了一口氣的情況下，被包圍著前往祭場。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDudwKxCFu
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFd6NtP2DT
「換上這個。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3iv2Jj8bT
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3QiAkqsdP
「戴上這個。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpxiMqywfp
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9DplSfSEQ
「還有這個。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguanBsdKrV
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZsMPbcGuJ
「喂，把那個拿來。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKCJiUHQc9
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTtdyTBjtH
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xAqBRG9bl
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mv0WY6lWZ
「不要恨我啊，丁。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUy1rwrNy3
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIo5oQ4gm8
村長說著，也朝著他的方向拜了一拜。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4si5ZjvRL
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiHmLYgLbD
「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。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhuzv93Lpu
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm18u2kx3Z
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomYzZaWvIe
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0WhbNSOHP
而村人們你看看我、我看看你，便在陸續道謝後離開了祭壇。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7JIUZvJSO
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnsndON4k1
「…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……」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DVVFYMFhW
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKcgv4pUWN
丁小聲的碎念，像是要告訴自己，也像是在偷偷的警告村人。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW1CTJt9aA
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCOv1ZjtgB
「永別了，請多保重。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyqnicTUBX
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd8OaPExcO
如果沒有黃泉存在的話。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN7pSpaGc2
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk0ruW83Nt
丁維持著端正的姿勢，直到確認村人們走遠。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImFasHlwoW
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHOiwJ7RER
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？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj7kem04kU
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uMHbuCLTx
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafodI99b7M
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA7JXCAMkA
為什麼，為什麼沒有來接我？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewxmIPYz9f
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Uqt93cpV9
因為我忘了你叫我的名字？還是我忘了你的樣子？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4dw4dxkWF
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIxl3gbsss
你真的，拋棄了我嗎？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqxWfIsEMB
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FuU5lSr4K
再也，見不到面了。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RbckDTc8W
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnzJoBOvWN
永遠。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNDmOZwvJO
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3mEAYc1sm
完全放下希望，原來是那麼難受的事嗎？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai7jrN4ear
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsKWBFKLc1
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRTwyVFp5Z
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZc7MAWYeZ
說不定，再多等幾天他就會出現了啊！79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqa9kCDNxl
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8UGFHHpKq
悲憤交加，周圍丁看不到的鬼火逐漸被他的恨意吸引過來。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30iyWF1aos
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGqnxwoKe5
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEiosbtd0o
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ufCMWX4Yi
是鬼喔。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgO1Xhvwua
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkrdlRfasP
腦海裡有個聲音說著。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzccW0QeAH
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6LtXspIZy
因為跟鬼火結合，你以後就是鬼了。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWAPnresmV
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4y1PftJbz
跟神明完全無緣的詞彙。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbj95g5kgD
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nZ7RQdOzv
是鬼的話，就可以去到黃泉狠狠的懲戒那些人了吧？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwHJYAty1I
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefE5tIJRjl
從祭壇上坐起身，丁張開眼睛。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2GuhS37Xj
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD48qzvujB
我是鬼，就算真的有神明他也不會想要這樣的祭品的。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizeiLiJYJN
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCViCEASCI
然後離開祭壇。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNfLUmTRle
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv2FDDAHKB
就連那個人，也不會要我吧？79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0uuIZuEVv
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8apWtnQ90R
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkKt76ieQl
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yLEUlcvDu
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcK9JAzrv0
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeh1X8C5m6
因為，我已經不是人了。
