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。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWxZt1Uxfe
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbhl2sren9
不會回來了吧？65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhM8r7k4HB
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv1aYs6lsp
從村人們的交談中，丁不得不接受這樣的事實。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxgKB7cRTx
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTGjV8jGDM
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。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsXHtgyucI
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMpo9DMd3p
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。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWUdvGAMC1
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs2BxAVM1O
不知不覺，他似乎已經很久沒有笑過了。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2zydjyzMl
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCU5Y4zt91
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。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMnyXPWTv6
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkCjgVIWIV
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。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9QrJzmuAU
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi89kUOZusJ
只是有時看著這東西會覺得他還能繼續努力下去。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0trXqineid
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu3hfDDZyQ
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。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpNZiwtBG6
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz9CBorXx6
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。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHy1RfP61C

「還不下雨…！獻上活祭品吧！」65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhQUc0keoW
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDOp5XORx2
某日夜晚，在丁進入夢鄉前，他隱約聽到如此的聲音。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzQnyjQMy1
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6YErE6r9U
啊啊，活祭品，是指活生生被獻給神明的動物嗎？65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLunYkei2rz
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zYhEEwVp6
「我不要當祭品。」65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4bYemNYnk
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVrsRLHz2s
嗯？65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv6AEt4VDJ
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRctEMjKwVp
「我也不要。」65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9Uk195UwV
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmV6SmmMu9
不是用動物嗎？65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjNjuw89Zc
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8YPuFGJap
「丁呢？」65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PzbcTXPXK
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrQxLp5g0k
！65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixsbaM7p2V
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgkhdjJRsw
「對了，還有丁吶。」65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2DS1pHoBM
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7wrbNGJ48
我要被交給神明？在祭壇上活生生地被殺死嗎？65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16s1u7TuQN
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2dGGwzVJs
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？65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKM8Aj9FoU
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA5mVh3T4l
……回收屍體的時候，這東西會被看到的。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4jxp1ssOX
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDKbYl2N6m
聽著聲音漸弱，等到火光熄滅，丁坐起身，輕巧的離開床舖。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyh2kewILE
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HHFrYEXtL
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。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQKtyo0mfP
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLysOBHXPs7
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。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe54OM4p8MN
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvc3qAyvHZ
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。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRjYgks1CD
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7HugCRix8
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。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1smjS2ttRr
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtqWUnF5XD
將樹枝插在樹洞前的土壤，丁的嘴角微微上揚。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgbZ1s5RiM
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMasNgEuf0v
感謝你小時候的照顧。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMIdtYrPZY
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGlPJ6JEAf
默念著，丁將一直珍藏的寶物纏繞在樹枝上頭。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXNrC9wFtp
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM4B2pqzua
大概明天，我就會被告知這件事了。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkTH6i1Po1
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYe31WUV88
我，一直都......65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHy9IbPWmm
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDawgw1NIt
嗤笑自己的情感，丁勾起嘴角，然後站起身。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE7BKTDXYE
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGnWi3Uhh4
永別了，以後就再也見不到面了。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTpgdC1Tgd
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0pWFAlPoM
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。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj8joxhea4
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb118r15wM
以後就真的，可以不用再抱著希望，一日復一日的等下去了。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYODwt3NdEv
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnTC0Yjaf7
抹殺掉自己心中那份期待，丁冷靜地想著。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2dxNqRefT
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4HdNanr2N
近十年都不曾出現過的人，是不可能在最後一刻出現的。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yLURPo412
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDTxurXiCi
這樣就好，這樣就可以了。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gnZ9lOUzS
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NL3fDzM8O
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。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJNlJiMTqS
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUiV4km8f6
他不想要再一次的抱著希望，因此他只能自己去接受絕望。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgt3MCSn2q
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEIcWnJWgi
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……65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVX0uXHZcA
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR5J6GCY5i
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLXVnq7wND
「丁，你起床了嗎？」65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO8vXiuzTj
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp40AGl41ud
「……是。」65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhVF5CZiAK
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMAldVLy6Z
「我們有些話想跟你說。」65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt3YMbilHm
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrULKHUx3M5
不是一個人，就算想逃也逃不掉，對吧？65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj2AmFmj0k
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv6p7HdD1t
丁在心裡想著，一邊聆聽村長那一長串的理由，然後點頭。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNjyA9kzsN
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t4PMmz6MY
「我願意。」65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZzv8LxPzN
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN23PK6R012
然後在眾人鬆了一口氣的情況下，被包圍著前往祭場。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgR5jEYelL
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic3XGCC3Ha
「換上這個。」65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CMhUFi4Fi
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjChvEW735
「戴上這個。」65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NgSTJza0s
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19eEeNykgP
「還有這個。」65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BaNDvBKWV
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKvZqcnegM
「喂，把那個拿來。」65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj0cgjuwZ2
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23glAdpXuk
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。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxYAXBapkv
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeuPS0iCkD
「不要恨我啊，丁。」65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcSLZtULaF
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59AmzufIC6
村長說著，也朝著他的方向拜了一拜。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o2pmSlkmA
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p7cTUxs7N
「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。」65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyne1hI3q3I
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NM3T0Vsji
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。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB9z7HZeE4
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QL1sKn3XM
而村人們你看看我、我看看你，便在陸續道謝後離開了祭壇。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFBbC5uQ4d
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJlC8ktbnj
「…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……」65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2YfRLr6BD
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrJKXS8dK1
丁小聲的碎念，像是要告訴自己，也像是在偷偷的警告村人。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU2k8XVjud
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1u9brESUz
「永別了，請多保重。」65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBxJBAVhiO
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJND9MFrfiX
如果沒有黃泉存在的話。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyZUROQ8yl
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua1mmVNwlR
丁維持著端正的姿勢，直到確認村人們走遠。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh2NDppX0x
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayPl6iD7zS
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？65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmus6WVr51
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9AdxyEN1m
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。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGLqLHTirI
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVIGiMdnwv
為什麼，為什麼沒有來接我？65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrzAI9ZP4S
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RhenvFe8X
因為我忘了你叫我的名字？還是我忘了你的樣子？65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhXJHu8yG7
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0Kb6NJ6fJ
你真的，拋棄了我嗎？65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2xSnCYIHV
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C8TXhKWkh
再也，見不到面了。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsK8TpQk7m
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDShmOekX6
永遠。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ0U7EMooA
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxrrBrpEmk
完全放下希望，原來是那麼難受的事嗎？65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGSmVJVAS1
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTU0Y9Wczo
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。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlC3gfLMhU
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqoxsHXfsx
說不定，再多等幾天他就會出現了啊！65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvVG4VcNF8
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsymyQ5urJt
悲憤交加，周圍丁看不到的鬼火逐漸被他的恨意吸引過來。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5DqWgH2g1
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OgCZE9K3L
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。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBCnKxKnyP
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCCeWvwbEt
是鬼喔。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiji9cK0E7
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS7rIGuAXj
腦海裡有個聲音說著。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaK0iibwBU
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzub6wLoyNv
因為跟鬼火結合，你以後就是鬼了。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DJXv1Mm7L
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4IkkxzLQf
跟神明完全無緣的詞彙。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqJZHkW50L
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscJ6O2qE2Q
是鬼的話，就可以去到黃泉狠狠的懲戒那些人了吧？65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1Kbu8nO8T
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9uxZvVJNl
從祭壇上坐起身，丁張開眼睛。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZvsljQqHn
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiO1Y6kGjK
我是鬼，就算真的有神明他也不會想要這樣的祭品的。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8NXfIhm7o
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yLbxhDkBD
然後離開祭壇。65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x5j3k1RAS
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIZQcQuHih
就連那個人，也不會要我吧？65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVThJAaSqJ7
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwETmxF3FFS
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS2egDmlqA
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8feXbdxrjN
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3qpAYDoxH
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU8tJk2JOV
因為，我已經不是人了。
