細細的，銀藍色的絲線，在陽光下並沒有反射出光芒。76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wd0wAzPIC
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ3Tmv8DZD
盛夏的黃昏，風輕輕吹著，但吹不動那些絲線，也吹不動操縱絲線的黑色身影。76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMk7No0zgj
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qxDJuy6lS
但那人紅色的髮倒是隨風微揚著。在這片與他的髮色相同的天空下。76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJn79MIhth
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpQ3NfFFAH
風大了起來，深紅的雲朵捲動得愈加快速，血般紅的夕陽將這片荒涼的岩石地也染紅了。端坐在大石頭上的那人「嘖」了一聲，似乎嫌這狂亂悶熱的風吹得他劉海都遮住了視線。他撥撥前額的頭髮，偏頭看向右後方，在那裡的岩壁陰影下突兀的有著一個小花圃。在這種炎熱的天氣裡，大部分的植物都奄奄一息，只有一株向日葵直挺挺的站著，面向陽光。血紅的陽光。76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSPtwdLZJK
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ8FFQ6VDL
他精緻的面容上出現不豫神色，手腕一抖，幾絲銀藍查克拉線射出，黏上向日葵的莖，現在只要他輕輕一拉，金黃花朵就會切斷――76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw37lhE0IE
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ1jLaGtCt
「別這樣，蠍。」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzRZPR1yU9
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4mZMcjkyW
他轉動琥珀色眼睛，沉默的看向出聲制止他的橙髮男子。橙髮男人站在不遠處，淡淡的說：「那棵向日葵是小南花圃裡唯一長得好的植物，你折斷了它，小南會傷心的。」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UFZ19M3Hi
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyzeLAuFHQ
叫做蠍的少年――應該說是「看起來」像少年――沒有收回手的意思，他冷冷的說：「這花很礙眼。我討厭向日葵。」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGZWqQAPb3
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjCsiltNae
「能告訴我原因嗎？」橙髮男子――培因面無表情的詢問：「如果有正當理由，也不是不能讓你切了它。」他嚴肅的態度讓人不確定他是不是在開玩笑。76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu19kllT9sF
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpt5yVkMzU
「如果把向日葵比喻成人，它給我的感覺就是笑得不知人間險惡的傻瓜，追逐著得不到的太陽的傻瓜。我討厭它們用盡力氣的燦爛，永恆對它們不屑一顧……除非作成壓花。」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLEuNfmiri
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHY5G3r7vR
「蠍，你變得會說笑了呢。」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcvgix2vB1
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarVaLc4QXe
「哼。你不是來跟我抬槓的吧？首領。」蠍直勾勾看著培因：「說吧，有什麼事？」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhzj1rk3mr
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIojHucEkhp
培因單刀直入，簡潔的說：「任務。我要你去找一個人，把他帶回來。」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqgdBZ7mZT
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8NY52FJIo
「要活的，還是死的？」蠍冷然道。76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfQFoUp9hB
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqn8g0MnPy
「我想你不會要一個死人當搭檔吧。」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKinkYeCubE
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nRSxI2ewJ
「你的意思是那個人是我的搭檔？」蠍的臉色更差了：「我不需要那種東西。這四年來我一直都是一個人行動――」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjcAvJjHpm
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlaBzqzl6n
「情況將要不同了。」培因打斷他：「兩人一組是慣例，讓你一個人行動是因為之前還沒找到適合人選，你應該為了將來捕捉尾獸的任務準備――搭檔間要培養出默契才行。」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kjbzy0x21
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrKh2Nz3O0
「如果我沒記錯的話，捕捉尾獸是好幾年後的事吧。你的『默契培養期』還真長啊。」蠍嘲諷般的回話。76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0FiQ3Je1Y
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuQc4gbvVL
「對你們來說可能還不夠長呢。」培因平心靜氣的說著，曉的成員一個比一個桀驁不馴，他不認為高傲的蠍會願意輕易跟認識不久的人合作：「只要你別像角都那樣把搭檔殺了，幾年的時間足夠你們彼此熟識了。」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2Wiu2GTsu
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mSSqKGpby
蠍不置可否：「我可不敢保證我會不會殺了他。」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHZcxa5tCA
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUutgvWdwD4
「你不會的。」培因突然笑了。76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTPyX4XARS
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3RijVGFGP
「何以見得？」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89KfpWNiCF
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzKtOLtg36
「直覺。」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMsE0qz2dP
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU4jiYx6oo
「……」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuQP5bQpL1
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflHE6UDHQs
「你明天就動身吧，我讓鼬和鬼鮫同你一起去找他。」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX2574giBM
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6ep89NLdn
蠍沉下臉：「你什麼意思？認為我連個人都抓不回來嗎？」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwlAZLvwP0
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODB0AVeb3F
「正好相反。」培因一派輕鬆：「我怕你們一言不合，你一氣之下就宰了他。鼬比較冷靜，他至少能阻止你這麼做。」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdPwCRXCdG
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJphVEfHI8
「剛剛好像有人說他的直覺不是這麼認為？」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hEiDrpVNj
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgfLky3q05
「我是指你們比較熟了之後。你知道人與人之間相處是有磨合期的。」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ9bcx7xGR
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ5ivoZ7ED
磨合個頭。蠍覺得培因根本是在說歪理。76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR1ZkoIznT
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbydOeITsU
「明天是吧，」他決定別再跟培因拗下去了：「他在哪裡？」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntAtSl6cyW
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvfhBYo4Gr
「他和最近在各地引發炸彈攻擊的反國家恐怖份子在一起，他們的幾個根據地我們已經掌握到了，待會我把地圖給你。」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMo4bojYYt
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx7KymjVQ0
「名字？能力？特徵？」蠍一古腦的丟出好幾個問題。76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXUTsEmKC0
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tAUr72DqP
「他的名字叫迪達拉，能力是使用炸彈，特徵是一頭長金髮和海水藍的眼睛，雙手上各有一張嘴……」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68bbXqFGY0
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedpen4O8mi
「奇怪的名字、毫不藝術的能力、該不會是個女人？手上有嘴？」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡascR4vbIwv
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsR25pEqkP
「他是男的。」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUu03vQRkq
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY7UOJQytu
「算了，這些不是重點，我要回去了。」蠍收回向日葵莖上的查克拉線，起身。黑袍下襬在微風中飄動，胸前與身側的紅雲在奇異的光照下像是要滴出血來。他踩著拖長的影子，行走於紅色的岩地上，往基地入口走去。76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03Xda6WYoP
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegxGmP3ruS
「赤砂蠍……」培因喃喃道。76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGayUjFWfmC
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd4VVVSIlL
蠍回頭：「幹嘛？」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjqj9ss6I8
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5vxyMCQeH
「沒事，我只是覺得這景色就如同你的稱號一樣，夕陽把大地染紅了呢。」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJdltouElz
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizVgzPBmUp
「無聊，」蠍說，「我的『赤砂』指的可是被鮮血染紅的土地，才不是這種自然現象。」他轉身又走。76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivbLC333E4
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrpBCPgKcM
培因仍站在原地，若有所思的看往花圃的方向：「那算我說錯好了。不過……你還真的很討厭向日葵呢。」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMs0xwwmq3
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwscPYDdr1
蠍哼了一聲，沒有再回頭。76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNuphXTSH6
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLIeDyigrO
風又變強了。「唰」地一聲，向日葵上半截應聲落地，斷裂處切口平整。76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzojGcbzPap
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMapXsyU0d
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnnAB6IM8X
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01rg9NrsWl
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI7a5Obwlz
「好像是颱風要來了呢。」小南說。76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBvNv8zfXk
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QSjLPxLnY
「嗯，晚霞紅得很不尋常啊。」培因把向日葵插在透明花瓶中，擺到窗邊。76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoqNaYox9o
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvTZJwhCEl
小南有些心疼的看著那朵花――在這個基地的這幾個月來，那畦小花圃可是她的心靈寄託。這地方太熱了，跟多雨的故鄉差很多。76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8io1pVXAS
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNTFRDzjQK
她看著側坐於窗前的培因，紅光灑上他半邊臉，金黃向日葵也變成詭譎的橙紅色。76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6djsFb8Cv
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIgKJLBakv
「培因，明天蠍、鼬、鬼鮫就要走了吧？」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0rn0afOoO
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLy9uNqq17
「沒錯。」培因開始漫不經心的撥弄起向日葵的花瓣，只有在小南面前他才會顯得如此放鬆：「帶著『青』的戒指去找蠍未來的搭檔。」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByoSAPvO1p
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoVXJ1TRit
「新成員啊……是個什麼樣的人呢？」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKEVTOuRG3
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS33RKjaUB
「唔……」培因停下手的動作，別有深意的輕輕笑起來：76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92ZCqapZyP
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uHYyaVNbt
「真要我說的話，是個像向日葵一樣的孩子吧。」76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsVsyrtDEF
