另一邊的街道竄出兩道鮮紅色身影，蠍看到那是兩個女人，臉用布包住，看不見長相。詭異的是她們合力抬著一個木棺，棺上的印記似乎是尾之祭象徵圖騰。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0JU4AW5Xh
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9bDgApmsC
那兩個女人慢下腳步，緩緩走向塔門。零碎的交談聲不時飄來，蠍提高自己對聲音的敏銳度，一字不漏的把她們的對話全聽走了。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtRpgc9lM1
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO4iVm4ZbI
較高瘦的女人說：「還有幾個？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jrtxUUF2A
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SyPPNYsxc
矮的那個回答：「沒了，我們負責的全帶來了。其他人應該也都準備好了吧，看來很快就能開始。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFjHqN3WaL
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlXSQYzrnT
高的女人說：「希望能順利……啊！」她手一滑，棺木差點掉下去，還好在落地前她及時接住：「好險！」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9usaxPrDn
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA411pMPyOo
「小心一點！」矮女人驚道：「不小心摔死的話就糟了！看妳去哪抓代替的，當心他們用妳來抵！」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf78NbFQHIt
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRBdj90l5M
高女人連聲道歉，兩人走到塔門前，謹慎的放下棺木。矮女人在精緻繁複的大門邊緣浮雕九處各按了一下，最後一推――厚重的門應聲而開，她們把棺木抬進去，大門不久後復又關上。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21DedZdXYx
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCEn7C13ig
蠍從藏身處起身，塔之國的高塔即使在祭典期間也不開放，由此可知那兩個女人是塔之國的人。不過為什麼會有忍者呢？還有，她們抬著的棺木似乎重量不輕，裝著什麼？她們的對話也讓蠍有點好奇。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Pj0vIIZuD
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP4perY47G
但蠍最感興趣的是高塔的大門，那門上一定有機關才會要用那種方式開！他傀儡師的職業病讓他對機關特別在意，如果不是因為隨時都可能再有人來，蠍還真想馬上去那門前研究研究一番。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xdD2wB6Ku
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y8PncJMjV
下次有機會再來看吧，時間差不多了，該回去顧著迪達拉。蠍沒有追根究底的強烈好奇心，就算那兩個女人很怪又怎樣？反正不關他的事。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPThW4Enry4
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbTeEeOAEa
那時候，蠍是這麼認為的。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzKGtjGwbe
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSLdjZg1B8
蠍用散步的速度晃回旅店，然後才想到他忘了買宵夜。櫃台依舊空蕩蕩，時間是九點半。蠍的心情又開始變差，接著考慮乾脆在老闆的椅墊中藏根針好了……唔？36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSkX4QgNYf
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKIboJ8Cg1
有不尋常的氣息在上面，蠍猛然察覺。又來了，今晚是怎麼回事？有一種不尋常的感覺悄悄爬上心頭，蠍悄沒聲息的溜上樓梯。很微弱，可以感覺得出是盡力想隱藏自己，不過瞞得了一般的忍者，卻瞞不過赤砂之蠍。一、二、三，四個人，從哪傳來的呢？36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauhpmBUrdD
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTc9NqtWQk
……他們的房間？！36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWwnmYXeXF
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Id8g940aF
蠍一時之間顧不得潛藏氣息了，怎麼會有忍者在那裡？！迪達拉還在裡面啊！36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDujfT4lvWX
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWgKSGdwAH
他身形一晃瞬間就到了門口，用力拉開門便衝進去。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOpqyla9qu
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23ST3EcBym
房內的四個人沒料到會突然有人用這麼快的速度進來而愣了一下，一瞬之間的停頓就足以致命！36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8mNrUGwmB
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2yfVexaX9
蠍雙手揚出，左右兩個人被無形的查克拉線扯去狠狠撞牆，當場暈死過去。前面窗邊的人還來不及反應，蠍的手已經擊中他的後頸，讓他也應聲倒地。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN2DBUsVjp
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf2gaZ44LF
轟！天花板掉了一片下來，本來躲在木頭天花板上的最後一個人此時被蠍舉在半空中，正不敢置信的雙手拉扯圈住他脖子的金屬繩。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09vjRekrgM
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6kRVUokte
「你……你到底是什麼人……」那人驚惶不已，那條掐住他脖子的金屬繩居然是從蠍浴衣前襟中伸出來的！36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbHDadzven
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRDJT0a2g3
「現在是我要問你問題。」蠍冷冷道。他注意到這幾個人的打扮跟剛才那兩個女人一模一樣，全身紅，臉包住，只露出眼睛。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWlLRFzq72
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc10X3QV5r
迪達拉不在房間裡，蠍在進來前一刻就感覺到了。而且他們的行李什物也都被拿走了。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj25LAbXJfW
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUhJonQz3G
「他在哪裡？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jmhArPXXv
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ2NhcjXeh
「呃……！」那人突然怪叫一聲，全身痙攣幾下後便兩眼翻白全身癱軟不動了。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOf45iNT0h
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy7oLxVc6B
「……」原來是他的手被金屬繩割破，中了塗在上面的毒。算了，看他們的穿著大概也知道迪達拉被帶到哪去了。蠍回想剛剛那兩個女人的對談……36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRaetDzo8V
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGKpiMxWCz
「我們負責的全帶來了」、「看妳去哪抓代替的，當心他們用妳來抵」……沉重的棺木，裡頭剛好能裝一個人……「不小心摔死的話妳就糟了」，也就是說裡頭的人還活著……不過矮女人又說「很快就能開始」，開始什麼？他們抓人做什麼？36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4vizA0X3x
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV8AxlK6eE
結論昭然若揭。蠍腦海中浮現出一個畫面，那個顯然也會忍術的巫女將四十五個潔白布球繪上圖騰，沉重的紅顏料滴落，有如鮮血。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YOHoNpEzc
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZRY9VxqZQ
（――每次都要犧牲四十五名漂亮的少年少女，儀式才算完成。）36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SzoTdHCIG
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiv55rMr6X
――難道犧牲儀式從來沒有廢止過，只是受到時代變遷的壓力而地下化而已嗎……！36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HFtvrqaXW
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa6guRUXIG
蠍扔下那人縱身出窗，往塔之國的心臟――鐵塔疾奔而去。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJMNskipwY
