「以上,是關於獅鷲的報告。」634Please respect copyright.PENANAOTLRXLTkYu
634Please respect copyright.PENANAKZ2D8MZSDM
桃花樹下,一張鋪著白色桌巾的長桌,桌子旁明明有四張椅,卻只有高宇維坐在其中一張上,里奧只能站在旁邊,連坐下的資格都沒有。634Please respect copyright.PENANACpHw1KYMW5
634Please respect copyright.PENANACOkGvjDjPn
「我沒想到獅鷲人在謝氏,也沒想到她會襲擊成員,這是我的疏失,所有責任我一人擔下,非常抱……!」634Please respect copyright.PENANALHUzd3La3P
634Please respect copyright.PENANAZvKW7gHTT8
還沒說完,一杯裝著熱紅茶的杯子砸到里奧頭上。銀白色的頭髮染上紅褐色,破碎的陶瓷碎片與血混雜在一起,從里奧的臉流下來。634Please respect copyright.PENANAcvk1JFXsdD
634Please respect copyright.PENANAc0oN0aONmz
「說過很多次,里奧,不要跟我道歉。」634Please respect copyright.PENANA0P1XwfVzMW
634Please respect copyright.PENANAB0aTUKCMT9
高宇維的表情很陰沉。里奧知道,高宇維生氣的原因不是白絃,是「抱歉」──高宇維很討厭這兩個字。634Please respect copyright.PENANA8prdhkulwU
634Please respect copyright.PENANAuY0fLDphj9
「謝賢說,殺死謝照顏的是獅鷲,謝照顏長期都在她的監控下。」高宇維倒了杯新紅茶,「默認謝照顏反抗我,她的目的不是把我拉下台,是創造對等的力量制衡艾莉絲體系,以免我們……」634Please respect copyright.PENANASynIk88kTn
634Please respect copyright.PENANACWF6sJpza5
「重蹈覆轍。」里奧面無表情,接話:「以免我們再一次分裂,再一次失敗,再一次害死夥伴。」634Please respect copyright.PENANAtlndem84q7
634Please respect copyright.PENANA8e9rFFjzRx
「……。」634Please respect copyright.PENANAyGefqwklq0
634Please respect copyright.PENANAdPOeqFLEaJ
「謝照顏已死,獅鷲之後的目標是第三代,尤其是晴煬。」634Please respect copyright.PENANABnZWJBr0yJ
634Please respect copyright.PENANA3AjnXxHYCc
把臉上的紅茶抹掉,里奧告訴高宇維:「之後,第三代會不顧一切探尋真相,這對我們很不利。」634Please respect copyright.PENANAYwd4O9seh8
634Please respect copyright.PENANAO3UV7GAhdH
高宇維表示:「一切還在掌控中,我不擔心。」634Please respect copyright.PENANA0calbwRYtD
634Please respect copyright.PENANAjy9axhLTsZ
里奧皺眉,「別忘了晴煬的天賦。」634Please respect copyright.PENANAIxzI2FuE7B
634Please respect copyright.PENANADmW3fJ3LKT
「我警告過,不准他探聽我們的心聲。」高宇維補了句:「我相信他。」634Please respect copyright.PENANAzR3qL52xSN
634Please respect copyright.PENANAy2DhLKsAVn
里奧沒有回話。634Please respect copyright.PENANAmtIP8K0gra
634Please respect copyright.PENANA6lXeoOWy2U
「你記得嗎?除了仲翔,夏悠不相信任何人……我不會重蹈覆轍,我相信我的部下,尤其是晴煬,他會乖乖聽我的話。」634Please respect copyright.PENANA5yQDwgbMmJ
634Please respect copyright.PENANAq4EbSXg0ic
高宇維舉起杯子,高高地將紅茶倒入自己口中,不少液體濺到他的臉頰與衣服,但他不在意──他早就不在意自己的事。634Please respect copyright.PENANA6RoRkdtdp0
634Please respect copyright.PENANAOhgSR2pw6l
「獅鷲是失敗的領導者。晴煬的事,她不會是威脅,那女人是用來除掉紅鶴的,你不需要瞎操心。」634Please respect copyright.PENANAat4dUTuYSp
634Please respect copyright.PENANA3MX0Q1hOMw
高宇維有足夠的籌碼對付白絃,所以,聽到李晴煬要拉攏白絃,他才這麼冷靜。在高宇維眼裡,白絃不是牌桌上的對手,而是手裡的一張牌。634Please respect copyright.PENANAGwvRNnvu8w
634Please respect copyright.PENANAawvATQYtQc
「……。」634Please respect copyright.PENANAIMcq89uNZO
634Please respect copyright.PENANAeODnLodwXI
至於里奧,琉璃色的眼睛看著高宇維手上的婚戒,原本想說什麼,但想了想,還是把話都吞回喉嚨,繼續面無表情。634Please respect copyright.PENANAOsSejimdfP

2157年10月19日,上午十一點,仙境大樓,二層634Please respect copyright.PENANAtdhXHjDvQG
634Please respect copyright.PENANAXkffl56h2J
634Please respect copyright.PENANAm3RHdIEvOl
尼可拉斯把傷患三人──MIO、李博洋、李晴煬安置在大病房。一個禮拜過去,沒人醒來,昏迷不醒的他們安靜又乖巧,尼可拉斯覺得非常棒,但唯一從白絃手中倖免的謝綠,並不這麼想。634Please respect copyright.PENANAzirHkbDwt6
634Please respect copyright.PENANAQm97d5A7Fb
「克里斯托多羅普洛斯醫師。」634Please respect copyright.PENANAtYWNFTKW9K
634Please respect copyright.PENANAG36nl9Br7W
謝綠來到二樓的吸菸區。叼著菸的尼可拉斯一聽到那個稱呼,立刻糾正:「叫我尼可就好,虧妳能把那長得要死的姓氏背下來。」634Please respect copyright.PENANAV8iMLjGQYT
634Please respect copyright.PENANA7VM2eCuXln
「唔,好的,尼可。」634Please respect copyright.PENANAuF8XDSODTa
634Please respect copyright.PENANAw6LEpP6jvu
住進仙境大樓、成為神與畜第八幹部,謝綠大致熟悉了神與畜的大家,只是這名銀白色頭髮、黑蛇刺青、抽菸又一天到晚罵人的醫生,跟自己調性差太多,謝綠不知道怎麼跟尼可拉斯相處,口氣才不自覺變得恭敬。634Please respect copyright.PENANA6hi0v0rksz
634Please respect copyright.PENANAUY197s7zWf
至於尼可拉斯,他對新夥伴的第一印象是「穿古裝的矮子」,幸好謝綠現在不穿古裝,多是簡單的白色T恤與牛仔短褲,尼可拉斯覺得這樣比較好看。634Please respect copyright.PENANAd80yC4BsZq
634Please respect copyright.PENANAKmysZNzm0d
「李晴煬他們……」634Please respect copyright.PENANA99YCNq8cci
634Please respect copyright.PENANAQIFUrOVhfO
「好問題,我也不知道那三隻是怎樣。」634Please respect copyright.PENANAKLjcRQhHFW
634Please respect copyright.PENANAk8HSJbuY0N
尼可拉斯知道謝綠要問什麼。他吐了口菸,「傷勢很重,但生命跡象穩定,目前都沒有異狀。最妥當的解釋是深層睡眠,這只能靠他們自己醒來。」634Please respect copyright.PENANAVetZxH9YQ0
634Please respect copyright.PENANAhaZjVgRgYI
「深層睡眠?」謝綠回想在沉璧園發生的一切,「和白絃有關嗎?」634Please respect copyright.PENANAEbzAGQM7UL
634Please respect copyright.PENANAa18Ly5o7bO
「獅鷲?」雖然知道他們在沉璧園發生什麼,尼可拉斯還是疑惑,「關聯在哪?」634Please respect copyright.PENANAkjUQfRtZ9B
634Please respect copyright.PENANAWXVAfY9KbG
「自從見了白絃,我有時會夢到祖母。白絃好像有什麼魔力,每個見過她的人都會被影響。說不定,李晴煬他們正卡在夢裡。」謝綠說。634Please respect copyright.PENANADgGtm62tKY
634Please respect copyright.PENANAQiygW3vCdW
「妳在有妳奶奶的夢裡看到什麼?」尼可拉斯好像在罵髒話。634Please respect copyright.PENANA1Jbr2Int64
634Please respect copyright.PENANAJciBasYpXl
「只看到一個綠色的背影,沒有太多畫面。」謝綠反問:「怎麼?你有過類似的經歷?」634Please respect copyright.PENANA9x75ArzOyw
634Please respect copyright.PENANAgEvJJ3CztN
「嗯。」尼可拉斯吸一口菸,「你們在謝氏搞破壞時,我這邊也出了狀況,確實跟作夢有關,妳的推論不是沒道理。」634Please respect copyright.PENANAJE73wmttBM
634Please respect copyright.PENANA3VVvrGwnTI
謝綠想追問,卻被尼可拉斯打岔。他表示:「如果妳的說法成立,李醜男他們正卡在有爺爺奶奶的夢裡出不來,我們只能做一件事。」634Please respect copyright.PENANA7QmIuc5VjP
634Please respect copyright.PENANAOaqaASa44E
說完,尼可拉斯拉謝綠回醫務室,並塞給她一包泡麵。634Please respect copyright.PENANAciB4YzeYrD
634Please respect copyright.PENANAlYZpWD7UTe
「妳吃午餐了嗎?」634Please respect copyright.PENANAaeXV8ysXpx
634Please respect copyright.PENANAHyMc5K9Rq8
「還沒。」634Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7EQSuAmyO
634Please respect copyright.PENANA5xOYr0dWkm
「很好!吃飯是生物的本能。香味會透過嗅覺系統,傳遞『該起床吃飯囉』的訊息給睡著的人,是對身體最沒有負擔的叫醒方式。」尼可拉斯壞笑,「從今天起,妳就在他們旁邊吃香喝辣!我看是爺爺奶奶強,還是二十二世紀的垃圾食物屌!」634Please respect copyright.PENANA8yBaFKIXCi
634Please respect copyright.PENANAqDjBgpmjpw
謝綠還沒反應,尼可拉斯就把她推進病房,「很簡單,熱水泡三分鐘就能吃了,調味包依個人口味斟酌。我先忙,妳快吃,沒吃完不准出來。」634Please respect copyright.PENANA5pCGvTn8iH
634Please respect copyright.PENANAiMUwpYrmoT
「等等……喂!尼可拉斯!尼可拉斯!」634Please respect copyright.PENANAgCgZGMa0CH
634Please respect copyright.PENANAtqCbkWMBAk
門就這樣鎖起來了。被關禁閉的理由是吃泡麵……謝綠覺得好荒謬,但她的肚子確實很餓,索性放棄掙扎,隨便找張椅子坐下。634Please respect copyright.PENANA7BN7hZ7Efi
634Please respect copyright.PENANAa14FKwf1kY
謝綠沒吃過泡麵,花了十分鐘研究食用說明。抱著實驗的心情撕開封膜、加入料理包與調味包、注入熱水,並找本雜誌蓋在上面,等待漫長的三分鐘,坐在椅子上發呆。634Please respect copyright.PENANA3JCMNMMSfm
634Please respect copyright.PENANAUbGbOg44hl
仔細想,謝綠來仙境大樓後、還沒一個人吃過飯。一開始躺床療傷,餐餐都是尼可拉斯的助手──派翠克陪她。如今像這樣一個人吃,不禁讓她想起以前在謝氏的寂寞生活,有些百感交集。634Please respect copyright.PENANAuL7ySGgfEb
634Please respect copyright.PENANAE5amfLXYKL
謝綠不知道她的選擇對不對,但什麼都不做,就是等謝喬和張夫人殺死自己,或從謝照顏手裡接下她不要的家主之位,加入神與畜是最安全、也最妥當的一條路。謝綠沒有理由後悔,唯一掛心的只有謝頤,謝綠希望妹妹好好的──一定不會快樂,只祈求她健康、平安,這是她唯一能替妹妹做的事。634Please respect copyright.PENANApzIhUASS1n
634Please respect copyright.PENANAvCXSQ1UwWr
三分鐘到,謝綠掀開蓋子。泡麵色澤漂亮、香味撲鼻,看得謝綠眼睛發光,她迫不急待捧起碗,喝了一口,新世界的大門也向她敞開。634Please respect copyright.PENANAFrhbrZJhxB
634Please respect copyright.PENANAOKeqIpZEyl
「這……太厲害了!」634Please respect copyright.PENANAZATAHrfGgD
634Please respect copyright.PENANA10jASdD4T2
謝綠為之驚艷。她吃過不少珍饈佳餚,對食物十分挑剔,但泡麵的味道遠在那些山珍海味之上。離開謝氏,真是無比正確的決定!634Please respect copyright.PENANA7HHTZWEmYN
634Please respect copyright.PENANAJjBKpX4dLT
謝綠喜歡吃。不是葛蕾絲那種大胃王,她喜歡嘗試各式各樣的食物。凡是天上飛的、地上跑的、水裡游的,她什麼都吃,唯獨不吃貓和狗。如果庶民生活能讓她嚐遍天下美食,那麼,敬庶民!敬美食!謝氏去死,泡麵萬歲!634Please respect copyright.PENANAbumxBx8Jwz
634Please respect copyright.PENANA6L2si1uYwT
「呼!」634Please respect copyright.PENANATnpaEhDH63
634Please respect copyright.PENANAsKRLhJHyrl
食用完畢,謝綠感到十分滿足。雖然沒有讓李晴煬三人醒來,但想到明天也能吃美味的垃圾食物,這讓她心情大好。正準備去找尼可拉斯回報,謝綠轉身,一雙大大的黃色眼睛貼在她面前。634Please respect copyright.PENANAd77rqS8V6t
634Please respect copyright.PENANAQOgQJNKqCK
「……!?」634Please respect copyright.PENANAcOctQX0WPS
634Please respect copyright.PENANAdSan36UEQv
謝綠大驚,剛才的好心晴瞬間消散。她立刻出拳,卻被對方閃開、雙腳一蹬,整個人飛躍到窗邊的櫃子,卻也弄倒了花瓶、「框啷!」一聲。634Please respect copyright.PENANAqyG44Ht8jh
634Please respect copyright.PENANAfDZ8yRcOeO
謝綠太大意了,竟然沒發現病房多一個人,而且,對方早在尼可拉斯鎖門前就在,沒發出一點聲音。634Please respect copyright.PENANAgqo5k3wRNO
634Please respect copyright.PENANAbbOlgbuRfe
「是誰!」謝綠不知道從哪弄出刀,但刀沒有出鞘,只是擋在前方,警告對方不准靠近。634Please respect copyright.PENANARANdUPSXqD
634Please respect copyright.PENANAzJTBbtpBEX
蹲在櫃子上的是一個男人,有著貓咪般的黃色眼睛、顏色很淡的長髮,衣著正常,動作卻不像人。謝綠覺得自己在跟一隻貓對峙,但這隻貓沒有毛,也沒有尾巴,讓她感到奇怪且……熟悉。634Please respect copyright.PENANAoCAQvI7CeG
634Please respect copyright.PENANA4tOwRT5TOO
「……?」634Please respect copyright.PENANAB4RIhnFSHx
634Please respect copyright.PENANALQYF8mMIcP
對,熟悉。草綠色的眼睛從警戒變成疑惑,一股難以言喻的心情壟罩在心上。謝綠的刀掉到地上,男人從櫃子上跳下,兩人的距離慢慢拉近。634Please respect copyright.PENANA6RwfkRMCVI
634Please respect copyright.PENANAhQrsFl6Usk
「……『笑臉』?」634Please respect copyright.PENANAaufghZexoz
634Please respect copyright.PENANACfBJoVjspp
男人爬到謝綠面前,手摸上謝綠的臉,無意識說出那個名字;謝綠跪下來,也無意識喚了一聲:「……黛娜?」634Please respect copyright.PENANAY2WcgTOEfH
634Please respect copyright.PENANAPltCYx8xDX
那一瞬間,不屬於他們的回憶灌入兩人腦中。墨綠色頭髮的女人摸著棕色的貓……棕色的貓變成妙齡少女……妙齡少女跪在屍體旁痛哭……少女被摔在牆邊,眼睜睜看女人的屍體被帶走……!634Please respect copyright.PENANAbVUJVKBJ9H
634Please respect copyright.PENANAuS6LWmNPN9
「……!?」634Please respect copyright.PENANAQLqTTG5loi
634Please respect copyright.PENANA15Q8roS9sH
兩人從回憶中驚醒。謝綠和男人喘著氣、瞪大眼睛,誰也不知道剛才那是什麼,但他們確實看到了。634Please respect copyright.PENANAQDygdYNSDW
634Please respect copyright.PENANA13KPLBuPdm
「你……」634Please respect copyright.PENANAEbJkeHB13d
634Please respect copyright.PENANAkwkPoNamSy
不擅長和異性接觸的謝綠,竟沒有把對方的手打開,反而捧住對方的臉,問他:「我叫謝綠,你呢?」第一次這麼想知道一個人的名字。634Please respect copyright.PENANAiHefkUBtKS
634Please respect copyright.PENANAUUfjqfl6Kv
「……沒有。」634Please respect copyright.PENANAu3kqj7fEz6
634Please respect copyright.PENANA0uZgFGrX2s
男人搖了搖頭,「我沒有名字。」634Please respect copyright.PENANACvRydk1yq6
634Please respect copyright.PENANAxsjGa3Ki4g
謝綠再問:「你從哪來的?怎麼會在這兒?」634Please respect copyright.PENANA4dAQzVxexM
634Please respect copyright.PENANAuT2xDaZFnM
「我一直……住在街上。」男人說:「被黑頭髮的女人帶走,聽她的話,攻擊粉紅色頭髮的人……我被留在這,一直被關在籠子,最近才被放出來。」634Please respect copyright.PENANAjZsxd8v5LZ
634Please respect copyright.PENANACVZvixpEPl
原來,他就是搶走李晴煬項鍊、被艾莉絲抱走、咬掉紅鶴一根蜘蛛腳的「貓」。不知為何,他從貓的型態變成人,還會說話。634Please respect copyright.PENANABT7IkBYAWp
634Please respect copyright.PENANAe9ey0qN32x
「他們說我是神與畜……我聽不懂。」貓說。634Please respect copyright.PENANA1WgKdsNw8B
634Please respect copyright.PENANA6cqX99yJgo
「我也是,跟你一樣搞不清楚狀況。」謝綠微笑,「沒有名字很不方便,我幫你取一個吧。」634Please respect copyright.PENANAkFXHjNVxyk
634Please respect copyright.PENANAn0EZwx1oys
熟悉的感覺尚未退去,謝綠看著他的眼睛,想起她最好的朋友。634Please respect copyright.PENANAZmfQhqTyUM
634Please respect copyright.PENANAwINSXTdT0H
「……格格。」634Please respect copyright.PENANAIswqZlzPsC
634Please respect copyright.PENANAWJCeM8ABzX
與記憶中的橘貓重疊。那一瞬間,謝綠把她曾與格格共享的情感、回憶,全部代入眼前的貓上。謝綠的手埋入對方頭髮、將他攬到自己懷中,像在撫摸記憶中的格格,眼中堆滿淚水。634Please respect copyright.PENANAqSMcNp9BBy
634Please respect copyright.PENANA9mJGfbAn0y
634Please respect copyright.PENANAlLRteeWa6s
「你的名字,就叫『云格』吧。」634Please respect copyright.PENANA3cHGODsOBm
634Please respect copyright.PENANAqauwmpp2Z8
「幫我訴說它……沒完成的故事……」634Please respect copyright.PENANA8WiVQbZ1D3
634Please respect copyright.PENANAH7k0JYAdrG
634Please respect copyright.PENANAJVzWlz4sOr
謝綠的眼淚很突然,擁抱也很突然。貓雖然不習慣與人類親近,卻沒有推開謝綠,就這樣靜靜靠著,聆聽她的哭聲。634Please respect copyright.PENANATpmXW3ahKf
634Please respect copyright.PENANAHzsbPbtFsx
「……。」634Please respect copyright.PENANANFnVAJ9D0z
634Please respect copyright.PENANA4JUN0wrBSl
貓的心情和謝綠一樣,覺得這個人好熟悉,莫名地信任對方、喜歡對方。這種奇妙的感覺,就是白絃和李晴煬說的「共鳴」。634Please respect copyright.PENANAPNLJGnlaRW
634Please respect copyright.PENANA6guApHZuPH
貓……不,云格閉上眼睛,發出舒服的「呼嚕」聲,也把手放到謝綠的後背,用寬大的肩膀將女孩包覆住。634Please respect copyright.PENANAiEC40gQRLp
634Please respect copyright.PENANA8B2m2h4n0h
634Please respect copyright.PENANAm9P2cSzIp5
「親愛的主人,」634Please respect copyright.PENANALYusnPyGa7
634Please respect copyright.PENANAPsmgZ3XiZK
「請允許我,稱呼妳『小綠』。」634Please respect copyright.PENANATqVxQ1wXYi
634Please respect copyright.PENANAFz2IwVBAe4
634Please respect copyright.PENANAOrO9yHo5sQ
云格的手摸上謝綠的後腦勺,笑容彷彿沐浴在陽光下的貓。善與惡,狻猊與饕餮,謝綠感覺──她內心的每個角落,都被云格的溫暖照亮了。634Please respect copyright.PENANAy6udI5U36a
