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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAqaWBnqPJ
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBQYqwwhJj
不會回來了吧？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZBDUIg7Dk
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdvMnYS4tw
從村人們的交談中，丁不得不接受這樣的事實。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgXpbC88Sl
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyucOSo9obr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2Fe5I9Nzl
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPO37uAg98
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8W48obqRj
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfgoqVcPm1
不知不覺，他似乎已經很久沒有笑過了。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbi8m2NMMa
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq8I0m6u0Z
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvUQMO6VwH
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO9jKuUnNc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp7w4EJykt
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA0EBwS96V
只是有時看著這東西會覺得他還能繼續努力下去。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwKCzsE32r
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUABcte471
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluIGQwaR1R
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukJp3vVYU1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3fAlM3qal
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoxTbdqdmc
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp1e2I3ATA
「還不下雨…！獻上活祭品吧！」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRD0EeFbLI
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfiq5HCGam
某日夜晚，在丁進入夢鄉前，他隱約聽到如此的聲音。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmrlqDycFw
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkkqXcDEwy
啊啊，活祭品，是指活生生被獻給神明的動物嗎？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq5qL5kmQa
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGov8eLwur
「我不要當祭品。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmazyXqcjmE
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmiIJb0oGx
嗯？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUz6aSktkV
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoRiq2Gl9J
「我也不要。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ231QQ2LFpQ
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh2VhJZxS9
不是用動物嗎？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWj0prQJhz
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnaP3HOvDn
「丁呢？」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJckqxrvZm
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapQfuygk1V
！77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D72lcFfGt
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2hknZkvWg
「對了，還有丁吶。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXNMmMNs1F
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxMtVDMmaf
我要被交給神明？在祭壇上活生生地被殺死嗎？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusxwSehRJb
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCdYVEFCEL
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgK70yki9f
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2UgzxCKjZ
……回收屍體的時候，這東西會被看到的。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09Ogh0oiw6
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLbHTSls1B
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aUKZKbj2A
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvbsXRhvlL
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W8QcHOwwi
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt3yLR3OJA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16dvPb1677
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURroH2IbvF
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALSnBHIT5z
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOqKonCc2Y
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT0YbBbXyZ
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZAT53YrEo
將樹枝插在樹洞前的土壤，丁的嘴角微微上揚。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN9ExMvUqE
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYVvmplH41
感謝你小時候的照顧。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJVwlFA3cO
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3ddcFpuhc
默念著，丁將一直珍藏的寶物纏繞在樹枝上頭。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYluUodubv
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LcFWcESEi
大概明天，我就會被告知這件事了。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOLOgfmMC9
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJn2XpsIwd
我，一直都......77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF29yALf4P6
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0DpJ8bZIq
嗤笑自己的情感，丁勾起嘴角，然後站起身。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSOr7y1qQ8
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvxK5F9ipM
永別了，以後就再也見不到面了。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2bJ29jRDc
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyk7Z2l2En
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwm8aCGwGR
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO50EmM0Kb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vmEFgYOlQ
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEePKOWj6kG
抹殺掉自己心中那份期待，丁冷靜地想著。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5n3qbBkHD
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmfgKSTsNJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu92cZXi2i
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JEaqsN6qz
這樣就好，這樣就可以了。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6QX9AL1Ct
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhDwnhFUXo
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUdGKkdUUv
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmekDQBHdM
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC8LFdVbDr
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JHwO6fxCP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt9UjdYIBr
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PmaJ6mQvx
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UEjMmD2fl
「丁，你起床了嗎？」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqVMCiQ3TG
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDme9rF2Ng
「……是。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYQ4D0XIm6
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6qfhiFIPO
「我們有些話想跟你說。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunPUt2fFmn
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4OBO5QVMo
不是一個人，就算想逃也逃不掉，對吧？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTN2AKiBGw
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfXVtu24Pv
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqfeVzWrkU
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb6WZ2VNoU
「我願意。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzJicMUWm2
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOQJCRz1WJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tTBJ5yI82
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aA8ZmpuoA
「換上這個。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhgP6JDLLC
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jf0QznuoG
「戴上這個。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaieHSyOAlf
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4JaTzDdCn
「還有這個。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z2aqAEBWw
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi2XG0aaPW
「喂，把那個拿來。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVYW2Moxlf
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VOXOrsHti
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeLv3wTMwZ
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPTyrd3OMz
「不要恨我啊，丁。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgpprlLfPD
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL5NvJHpmk
村長說著，也朝著他的方向拜了一拜。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ4z7IYolu
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz7ahdrsUE
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0lnDQYH7o
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN39XoEJnl
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D7Zrl2SLR
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NAR2tFVlE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I3HlMNYqu
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmErNzFvvWw
「…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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNXowsJ5mz
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTaGXDlTpE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqYsNpjn1w
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQmzOLbt0Z
「永別了，請多保重。」77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5krh8FoeLg
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFbDg2B3YT
如果沒有黃泉存在的話。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM7gZhhniA
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWYqonvAKj
丁維持著端正的姿勢，直到確認村人們走遠。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkzSVN11HD
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V7Zs4RWSa
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo9cpkFOFK
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Wtv5ikAYZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepGokLwnCq
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZtB2rS3yr
為什麼，為什麼沒有來接我？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy21vs6LCwT
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkdvb6t9UR
因為我忘了你叫我的名字？還是我忘了你的樣子？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRLxNtUzBu
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibbQz9eLYe
你真的，拋棄了我嗎？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy6Q2T8Jhe
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HlJ4vWycb
再也，見不到面了。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxpai3GBmE
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJGZvDrJ1M
永遠。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7V4rdEKQd
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MVj5A4gdR
完全放下希望，原來是那麼難受的事嗎？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctkZefF1PK
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53G00qkxSp
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZx9Tq34gD
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg0xVUHd34
說不定，再多等幾天他就會出現了啊！77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXZ4NvnOPZ
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfHktIOhgd
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5rYuGIwu8
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVxDS018m2
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyplKL7TOh
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEZHY9paij
是鬼喔。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTMhjYEvyD
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiAmV19kux
腦海裡有個聲音說著。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4kSxhE6lR
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7OBbX6y5Y
因為跟鬼火結合，你以後就是鬼了。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJjiaP2GSW
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnxxqgsVA8
跟神明完全無緣的詞彙。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiA2wDzgEi
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXetezmOJRb
是鬼的話，就可以去到黃泉狠狠的懲戒那些人了吧？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF2ruSXoZg
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxbVgfYpjz
從祭壇上坐起身，丁張開眼睛。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3n6z7q7BH
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2KdpEaZFo
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPts7anC17
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgEYTDLDrI
然後離開祭壇。77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqadXjHYtnb
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfDOgTWbzp
就連那個人，也不會要我吧？77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSnlAlc9do
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS5w7ll5vD
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ByrSXsaG6
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36qjltYS88
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9LCMQH0Gh
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wfnDTw5yS
因為，我已經不是人了。
