這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKkmXeR3S0
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqcycMKM7F
為了應付嚴苛戰事而組織的精銳部隊，在戰鬥中卻將近三成沒能安然回歸。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh9mxOd07R
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSahG0yEBBN
戰勝的消息傳回能源局之後，負責探勘的隊伍開始確認生還的居民，以及貧民窟內部的建築狀況。由於交通工具總是受地形阻礙，推演的速度相當緩慢。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaeqsdUfFG
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwP08hQpMz
清理出安全的道路後，在軍隊的護送下，拆除大隊與某些人道團體成功進入貧民窟，展開了八年來第一次除了邊境鎮壓以外的互動。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMSY1hwUrO
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqXewYfB5Y
從最外圍開始，拆除團隊逐漸改造扭曲的街道、不穩固的樓房。為了保持警戒，可以看見軍人與工程師同時出現在工地內的景象。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cF9vA1hnr
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCRY1Rdu1M
雖然這場戰爭在其他地區掀起軒然大波，由於不過是數年前，人們就曾經目睹科學發展帶來的慘劇，疑惑的群眾幾乎一面倒向責備能源局。即便如此，長期掌控著社會生態的能源局，在熟練迅速的壓制下，輿論並沒有造成什麼障礙。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygOB9JcJU5

尤其是時值冬末，讓人無法提起活力的天氣煩惱著這座都市的所有人。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjjudn82sh
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW8hq8y0TT
季風雨持續降下，遲遲等不到晴朗的天空。依照觀測，恐怕會是二十年以來最漫長、也將會是最寒冷的冬雨季。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4tJYL8SYq
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOouprLQTe
分明是新年，令人不快的陰鬱氣息卻籠罩在這座高科技都市上。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jXmCr9FpN
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8Bce0mGQU
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi45PCBSmaE
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMAcdnCUM8
距離高盧游擊部隊完全集結，朝中央發展區展開總攻擊，還有兩個小時。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWJyTykrge

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhZrwv3BB8
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4qwMC2B79
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftbbPG9Whm
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BRRTK8b4s
摩托車的頭燈照亮四周的殘骸，勉強地開拓了視線。依奴駕駛著傷痕累累的愛車，僅僅以不至於讓車身翻倒的緩慢速度前進。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYtcBKBFdv
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqszGzzDoLs
持續跑在街道中又過了數分鐘，眼前所見的場景幾乎沒有變化，赫恩沒辦法從這些廢墟中分辨出什麼差別，也不曉得他究竟要往哪裡走。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp36R9pG9Vv
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQPpjGjZuY
依奴從剛剛開始就不發一語，他弓著背並且把頭壓得很低，抓住龍頭的雙手明顯地過度使力，正微微發抖著。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJXduxtTfy
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfugJyyGJ2U
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFCdYFHgdN
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWco9ERctsI
這場戰爭，從開始到現在的平息，究竟經過了多少時間？赫恩覺得自己的時間感已經被打亂了，所有經歷過的事件在腦中都攪和成一團。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVNDFaQ5Yr
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dxGo9V4P0
燃燒、傾倒、萎縮。各式各樣的畫面破碎成片段，全部溶解在摩托車彷彿無止境的低沉引擎聲中。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9f7GqjJwv
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalqSEQS3KP
還要多久才能抵達目的地呢？或者會永遠這麼運轉下去呢？原來，逃亡是件這麼沉重苦悶的事情。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk9oUDbOQ6
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbrtfuQlQx
正當赫恩已經陷入迷濛的睏意中時，景色的轉變重新牽動了她的注意力。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QW4Xp401A
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2gt7Zti6m
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz7qH6EqV3
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFd5NIARZt
橫跨了整個混亂的建築區域後，四周的景色居然開朗了起來。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26NjscO21k
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjASEeIcRjA
彷彿在宣告著目的地已經到達，東方的天空此時漾起了光芒。厚重的雲層遮蔽了黎明，但純潔無瑕的晨光渲染開來，視野逐漸變得清晰。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00evXP1jP8
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMnq6Ua5I7
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoGo5jqlI2
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqFVOaWFjx
摩托車所經的地方，似乎曾經是某個重要的區塊。舊時代都市的街區、歪斜的交通號誌，甚至是柏油路面上的號誌線，這些規劃完整的建設依然留有痕跡。十字路口上停擺著廢棄的車輛、輸電用的纜線也在樓房間穿梭。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds3fjIQIPw
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ7OCio7Kc
成排的商店與公司坐落在主要幹道左右，依稀能想像這個市區以前的繁榮光景。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ411XjNgwX7
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZMmHWn2DV
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh7XwEP9Ux
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmW2vXaCxr
這是赫恩首次見到舊世代的都市，包括現代已經不存在的電線桿、霓虹燈招牌、電話亭、郵筒等等，這裡有許多她無法理解的設施。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bDiiLoprN
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHWjfdInCs
摩托車來到某個建築物前方，跑了一整夜的雙輪終於不再運轉。只不過，依奴並沒有準備任何停車下車的動作，他仍然僵硬地緊握著油門──449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBnBfAA23W
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZSqHdV6QO
滑行了一小段距離後，失去控制的車體就這麼往側邊傾倒下去。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK25VYLcNp
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrvPWouBYT
「唔嗚！」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnRfH9hgEm
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpXLIjmfEM
抱著他的赫恩嚇了一大跳，她放開手臂跳開，狼狽地往旁邊跌坐，差一點被摩托車的笨重車體砸中。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuLAI3OhLS
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tw7PA170x
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkSJvoWBeL
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ75cpzWAf2
「依奴！」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzE9DIL1MH
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmm4z2H4jt
赫恩慌張地向前去，把車鑰匙拔出來讓引擎熄火後，費了一番功夫才將笨重的車身移開，並且將依奴從下面拖了出來。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKeycpliIZ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxCBoF93CK
即使如此，依奴仍然一動也不動。他趴伏在地上，甚至連半點呼吸或喘息聲都聽不見。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3Kh2YpDCn
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMjkDjad25
赫恩讓他靠坐在車體旁，輕輕摘下那頂貝雷帽，將他低垂的臉托起。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA7p0MDCpY
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflhDCTc48g
「依奴──」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawWuhL1pvd
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKFE5fyZcn
脫口喊出對方的名字後，赫恩迅速地止住了話音，再也無法說下去。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVJBtrL7NI
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AO6xbxJa0
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv3cNBwjz0
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZLdd1oOxx
在黎明的微光下，她能夠清晰地從領口看見——黑色的血管紋路，從依奴的胸口向上方蔓延，雖然血管的走勢在頸部附近就停止了，但依然有幾條怵目驚心的紋路爬上了他的臉頰。擴張的青色血管扭曲了表面的皮膚，像植物的根部般盤踞著，除了病態與扭曲以外，無法讓人有更多的聯想。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYg2aYxuI0
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjvG1w9bOm
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOTiXEUY6L
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUmI7tiWTN
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRtdti73eh
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw46GEhfEVF
原本那精緻且秀氣、甚至堪稱為美麗的面孔，竟然被侵蝕成這副模樣。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnj4muQ5uf
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rgPv6huel
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROTnyEeOy2
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e2pEdI7Sv
黑色血管是從左胸口開始蔓延的，越接近心臟，出現的血管就越粗大，宛如被寄生般相當恐怖。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb0ULLFC1q
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdMM6OCa7q
她試探性地抓起依奴的手掌放在臉頰上，傳來的是令人不安的冰涼。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HTUkCDiFw
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo45rOxfC6g
他還有微弱的呼吸，保住了虛弱的命，但不知道什麼時候才會從昏迷中醒過來。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YHij4L7T0
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCchcf3uxI
雨還在下，不過勢頭已經減緩許多，紛亂的聲響也降低不少。徒留下濕潤與空虛的寒冷，仍舊在吐息間流竄著。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LB0q7ZWbj
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd87bpSTYd
她重新站起，確認四周圍的請況。這塊保留完整的舊街區其實相當小，在逐漸明朗的光線下，都市的輪廓已經緩緩成形。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3MPwXpX1u
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLyaNhMJxO
八年前，建設在這裡的閻融爐暴走時，擴散的能量震盪所摧毀的建築物數量，大概佔整座桔梗區的三分之一，剩下的部分即使還勉強留存著模樣，但供電系統等等軟體設施已經全部報銷，對都市來說等於是機能癱瘓。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FAp5FJcF9
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wmXcxrR7r
重建工程展開時，為了降低新建材的需求，曾經大規模地拆除還留有主體的地區，把廢建築內完好的鋼材、玻璃等等資源回收，送往開闊地帶建造新的居住區。再加上難民們當時並不知道這些重建建築將會成為他們永久性的巢穴，所以對於重建工程並沒有細心規劃，導致發展區內零零落落地到處都看得到難民營，交通路線也是九彎十八拐。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyEPTx2BCf
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHisZHpKSqX
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiEw7ok2PQ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9RUIMXbhL
沒有被能量震波轟垮、沒有被回收作業拆除、亦沒有被胡亂的重建計畫改造，還保留著八年前那夜之後的殘敗模樣。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4L5XDRVKB
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY87hvuJJR6
唯一的可能性，就是到來的軍隊曾經刻意避免了難民與這塊區域的接觸，將其作為重點區域封鎖住了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZajrjYQao
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk23kzH5DMH
這片涵蓋四個十字路口，長寬不過數百公尺的範圍，從外表上看去毫無特出之處，至少憑著赫恩的經驗，這些沒看過的建築在當時應該也不是研究機構或者政治中心之類的，研究機構不長這個樣子。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsS4YD9cYe
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cpUeeEKjK
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9jHhv5WCr
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1df34rGlc
雖然那棟建築物是這附近最接近科學機構的，但明顯設在門口的橫幅矮牆上，刻著某某醫院的名字。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYdSivVKsq
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqcT3V4xeo
急診室的入口、救護車的出入車道、以及一般病患出入的大門都具備，雖然被拉上的鐵捲門嚴謹封死，但應該就如同名字顯示的，是普通的醫院吧。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1HG6WiQiK
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsGGer9XBJ
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAquisZx5k
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJY1V0EPZw
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr4oRaeoFJ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8mycmQ3gT
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfdjHFOIMu
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0rKirsyCV
依奴皺起眉頭，試圖深吸一口氣，肺部的收縮似乎造成了痛楚。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWiPt6KN2d
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn23DmJfbA
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7SD2sSrtq
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlehR50Lfvg
赫恩連忙跑過去扶助依奴，幸好依奴很快就恢復狀況，硬撐著剛甦醒的意識，勉強讓自己重新站直。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS5hIwTxd2
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxQSrHozBg
他臉上的血管出現了細微的蠕動，隨著大口喘息的動作而顫抖，模樣相當嚇人。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FJNJ15BQL
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGrEbvIyUI
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYchEqzDc1h
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv3uUr5Xvp
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzgo8Rf1KW
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW4sPekHkE
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4icoF23sKy
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwP1KQXD5f
他用發抖的手拉開行囊，從藥罐中倒出止痛藥片，仰頸吞嚥下去。經過幾分鐘的調整呼吸後，氣色才漸漸好轉。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuazS8kve1
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22ebHffc2m
他將倒地的摩托車拉起立直，然後放鬆地用力吸了一口長氣。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDAq6txM63
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhF2eSiKN9
就像往常一樣，他拿出保溫杯倒了一份冒著蒸氣的溫水給赫恩。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6X6wg9UlK
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeQU3fGKYa
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwBzX5WbcG
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAU7SxSULf
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC7nGlCKFL
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08AMnl2CHc
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc7AwWcX8U
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHjLLSF7U9
「我早就習慣了。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOcVdUwHaX
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeF4xghjks
依奴垂下雙眸，即使依舊是名少年，他習慣性的表情卻總是透著難以言喻的沉鬱，雖然他未曾用言辭表達，但心中一定壓抑著什麼。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1NIoyMdJv
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUiLf38tz1
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqDJYqopo8
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWymZtAjzP
只不過是一天前，同樣是在黎明時觀看這個男孩的側臉，樣貌卻已經完全不同。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUW3u5avQ5
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeeO6RVWCz
雨季的厚雲剝奪了陽光的溫度，而少年漂亮的面容也已經被恐怖的傷痕摧毀。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2NRVnYRcY
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3pOKfutUr
赫恩輕輕啜飲了一口溫開水，好在至少這份溫度依然留存著。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ777QduKmFy
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrAKewcO5Q
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQeHjTmrjw
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9G3JGcXob
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWIxlc4ivS
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4Grz5AJLj
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29vUyI5rkZ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtcdNM7MxY
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y2Zc0jSBC
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalSQIi0PH7
「這裡是？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2PyFkux9I
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QcJc1yZiC
「算是城市邊陲地帶的市區，從這裡繼續往西的話就能看到海岸了。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3JeSuo5Pj
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3lcCJ6tEr
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNzgH44Unq
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZFdVYGBTt
「這裡是受到閻融爐爆炸的傷害較小的災區外圍，距離政府軍能利用的入口也相當遠。碎片瓦礫堆積而成的小山形成了絕佳屏障。如果不是像我一樣知道正確的走法，又沒有空中攝影機做引導，並且開著重型工程車鏟除路障的話，兩三天內幾乎不可能穿越複雜的貧民窟廢墟，抵達這個地方。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv320KlhY4N
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0diDeUnMCT
依奴指了指身後的醫院：449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG1z8V2PIa
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj9SwawtRK
「但不曉得貧民窟現在的狀況實際上如何了，我們能待的時間也不多。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt9y4iSUme
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKpUuNzf0y
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZfzh9A7cr
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnLsmm4ECg
依奴原本沒做多想就要去接，但他在最後一刻頓住了，回想起昨天高架公路上的經驗，讓他很快的又把手抽回來。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR8BJLlRKm
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7pz2tmOW9
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlxYHs2bxN
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh7i2jluI4
「不可以嗎？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1m6RJpam6
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaKI3uUE3M
「妳真的打算握？」看著赫恩毫無多慮的疑惑表情，依奴輕嘆了口氣。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4O4ifDfoY
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb89kYvvz3
「把杯蓋給我。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMTbWnA3gn
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX87nOYB7l4
「就讓我握一下吧。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk21sg5yivw
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTjysahgZC
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsnlf0HuBC
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wBJhtmfTz
「依奴。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJmgiX1YZn
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEa4QueoPq
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DUwix8kn1
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetL2u9jLSN
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKNtAfXVDw
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX8bjNC8j2
她將依奴的手撫貼在臉頰上，感受著已經漸漸回歸肌膚之間、流淌著血液的熱量。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8jIlgGno4
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t3ZYGJCEa
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWmjSraoGI
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR5wPz9pcm
「溫度回來了。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYsks2CZZq
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IYKllJTvV
「好了嗎？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WF8MB42Q7
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFCoGRJFyi
「再稍微這樣一下子。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjzD4AphCJ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LC9DuuAdc
像是在彌補之前的擔憂般，赫恩仍然緊握著不放，兩人就這麼僵持了數秒，對依奴來說還真是相當尷尬的體驗。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fCGnWRnte
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb0tEcCUYF
但是，看到赫恩穩定安適的表情，他更不想打斷這樣的片刻。由於自己的手掌比較冰冷些，赫恩臉頰的溫熱感也渲染到了手上，依奴若有所思地感受著這份溫度。他深感慶幸，此刻的他竟然還留有性命，能觸及她的臉頰。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCicT6XQbV
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUzKIe43UW
或者說，他就是為了奪回這份真實感，才能夠苟延殘喘到此刻──449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ukeLivfGM
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFINYCTGjqV
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGjE5t4zRx
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5lqViKKWy
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRazPDHFdOT
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vV2FaASZR
「喂。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJtxBuCsJC
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd5m688G0d
「現在移除裝置可能導致不可預測的資料損毀，確定要移除嗎？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnekyENEVRc
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEpZQv30pN
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMivRnq9WuW
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwMTyjsKlI
恢復平靜後，他把摩托車藏到建築的陰暗處，用垃圾桶和廢帆布稍微遮掩。接著用鋼索發射器朝醫院的二樓開了一槍，拉出堅韌的繩索。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbVfxPQyJ3

抱起赫恩後，他踩上旁邊的汽車當作階梯，墊了一步，順著跳躍的勢子往上飛升。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4WqX9PHgk
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wIIMIkupW
依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFADRJNmcTi
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6piSsqoFO
玻璃碎塊零落地四散一地，在積滿灰塵地地面上刮出痕跡。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWNW3G0lTO
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKC52e8umM
赫恩還是不太習慣這種三度空間式的移動方式，因為暈眩而意識搖晃了下。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH19jurQ9hA
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPNbio7Okp
她扶著牆壁環視四周，內部除了尋常地醫療機構之外，並沒有什麼奇特處。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsGiTNaIuR
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnbszFmWNT
「依奴，為什麼要來這裡？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw45GsQS9Y
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhlRHnVrh7
「建築物下層有間資源倉庫。包括貧民窟可能短時間內就會被攻陷在內，旭夜機會把所有可能性都做足了保險。我常常負責將一些非常貴重的物資轉移到這裡來。目前首先要補充彈藥和汽油，再來決定下一步。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrnNxSEUoT
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEaRJiPJMm
「旭夜為什麼特別選了這間醫院當倉庫？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflFwVHQAxV

「跟上來。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikJLzVBiLe
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSztdMeny7
依奴並沒有正面回答赫恩，他收起鋼索發射器掛在腰上，往走廊的另一頭踏出步伐。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFWTZ818aT
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKX5R4OQPy
醫院裡瀰漫著某種難以言喻的臭味，大多是水氣的濕臭，但隱隱約約似乎也包含著藥品的刺鼻味道。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa9Xw4HGZz
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfCOAURPgj
「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm6R8pwTJQ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LY0pIOO6Y
依奴用平淡的口氣說：449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3urCMKG1R
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY80NZ0Byi
「而且，也根本無從整理起呢。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSaR3iNkbD
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtOpsWFQb5
赫恩乖巧地緊跟著他的腳步，迅速通過了長廊，沿著已經停擺的手扶梯往樓下走。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwGbVh1jH1
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7jEo6pobM
醫院裡的狀況相當慘烈，牆面上的污漬、傾倒的醫療器材等等，看起來非常不祥。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmR7MT2UAc
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTP9syv7nZh
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCBb77jHcQ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENhsp2kRGE
閻融爐暴走造成的都市機能癱瘓，把這座城市幾乎所有的電子設備都燒毀了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcDJHqGpJS
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWjh02yXNf
那些藉由先進醫療器材延續生命的病人們，在斷電的當下是怎麼想的？而那些剩下的人們沿著靜止的電扶梯徒步逃亡，砸毀不聽使喚的自動大門，互相推擠著、叫嚷著奪門而出。，走在一片漆黑的街道上，是如何的絕望。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Aqvd7i8Bx
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluCTNegb4a
赫恩想像著，體會著當時人們的惶恐、絕望。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh00Kk6udc
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2vlDHl04R
兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXT4AXZDAE
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rJdYNmf9V
赫恩被眼前的景象震懾住了，她僵立在手扶梯旁，許久無法發出任何聲音。眼前的大廳，由於門口被鐵捲門阻擋，缺乏光線而顯得幽暗。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCpQioOcsu
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gsTiQ7i5g
但在不清晰的亮度之下依然能辨識出，那是極端非人道的慘狀。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt52sbwUBJu
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdv4gB6Cll
在大廳的盡頭有個巨大的缺口，明顯是用炸藥摧毀出的破洞。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyH0mPHzEo
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZXSqPLnzl
從缺口處到醫院的出口，這一段短短的空間，卻是最為悽慘的「激戰區」。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdWkzGf8Y1
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ0gggFKmy
崩落的牆面、散落的磁磚、暴露的鋼筋。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0isSQZRe01
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn5EAGNnvr
被機關槍掃過一遍又一遍，坑洞遍布的地面。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIvJ90mb49

以及遺骨。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGCOI6VC9E
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdqeDSlNSJ
徒留下形狀，散落於各處，無人為其收拾的、人的死骸。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs3f7RzYQ9
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrkmgSeH1H
一定是在這座城鎮化為廢墟之後就置之不理了吧？經過了這麼長久的時間，大多數的死屍都會被野生動物拖走、被昆蟲分解掉，然而依然有些痕跡遺留了下來。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHQ4Y9QY7k
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBLZTGYD63
四周能找到不少燃料瓶的空罐——居然在如此狹窄的室內空間裡選擇用上火焰發射器，光是這樣的行為本身就充滿了殺意。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzKUbBwtik
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQPD9j7Pzt
面對能夠將整個大廳的氧氣都燒乾的熱焰攻勢，別說是留下全屍了，那樣就連靈魂都無法得到安寧的死亡吧。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSguJtFTKuI
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2O8AhkWY2
但為什麼要在這樣的地方作戰？甚至還用這麼重的手段？449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFIRPSYkJp

依奴說著，站到大廳的正中央。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9HyEC14To
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUXOLvPLXb
他彷彿在回味著陳舊血腥的洗禮一般，寧靜地佇立在屍堆之中，不過即使背對著赫恩，她也能感受到依奴此刻的情緒是如何的沉重。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZEaGOn7pL

「最後的最後，我們也只殘留下了這點痕跡嗎。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0xhFUs93g

「庫奇總是走在最前面，最後也死在最靠近門口的位置。還有捨身替象牙擋下了子彈而死去的瑟拉芬。我們之中年紀最大的奧德，他的軍犬席丹。還有潔莉和狼犬水銀。盧瑟是躲在櫃台後面時被打死的，在我身邊倒下的骸還有格里、坎特……」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN2pShUlDj

「沒錯，」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDl20V3Tl6
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbMUSvxPKq
依奴緩緩回過身來，低沉著嗓音，就像回答再自然不過的問題般，輕撫著自己面頰上攀附的扭曲紋路，向赫恩開口：449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHNl0iS86v
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6QhzrK9rf

她想要任憑這塊沒用地軀殼老去、腐朽，就像沉入骯髒的大海中一般，漸漸被毒物侵蝕殆盡，灼燒肉體、啃壞骨架，分解成寂寞的碎片。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qIJHxvNne

她更加抱緊了雙腿，指甲掐進肉裡，滲出了血珠。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsopYLjLh1B
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttA4svMe37
外面傳來了腳步聲。踏在堅硬地板上的敲擊聲實在太刺耳了，她已經快被這種聲音弄到抓狂了。還有耳語！隔著牆壁傳來的，隱隱約約的對談聲，途中甚至還能聽到自己的名字混雜在內，這樣的折磨也足夠讓心靈枯槁了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLalvtdRVp
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bgmwxKlsD

449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6JFHQfHFa
外面的光線瞬即朝她伸出指爪，譚雅就像被一把白色的利刃穿刺般疼痛地瞇起雙眼，她急遽地朝後方退開，背部重重撞在牆壁上。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zuY1BOeuf

449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJFbnOikRR
馴狗人的超兵計畫，傾向於加強軍人與軍犬的同步性。因為光靠攝影機的偵查效能不佳，而且儲電量會影響作戰時間。如果馴狗人和軍犬本身能夠以無償的方式交換情報，就能大大提升作戰的靈活度，於是依奴這樣的生物就誕生了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGq9trmLv6

依奴所見即為象牙所見，象牙所聞便是依奴所聞，所以依奴才會放心讓象牙帶領赫恩逃亡，即使相隔兩地，依奴仍然能藉由象牙來得知赫恩的動向。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaUsRepyXJ
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HHp5OsFGy

449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHgoQFwJBf
能夠使生命逝去的方法千奇百怪，無論刀傷、槍傷、斬首或心臟遭到穿刺，無一例外地，還活著的那一方都會以活著的狀態，體驗死亡的感覺。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwbrLpTFH0
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhkHvT6Dut
「在多數狀況下，死亡體驗時常刺激過度，讓另一端活著的大腦也麻痺，造成雙方死亡。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbKYAsRV6f

「已經過了好幾年，我的成長加上象牙也會衰老，拜此所赐感應能力已經沒有當年那麼精準了吧。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIhoxzz4Np

說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqnoT9nuk4
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV3OBoTFX5
依奴就像是要將餘悸迷濛的不快感清除一般，深深地吸了一口氣。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZwYnEkzk8

「胸口被子彈貫穿的經驗，我倒是紮紮實實地體驗了一次。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0c9BTC9F0
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PAUCwUAS6
由於劇烈的痛楚，依奴瀕死的痙攣讓肉體變成了如今醜陋的模樣。那個當下就連肺臟也差一點失去功能，讓依奴幾乎無法呼吸到足夠量的氧氣。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV66VWOSty

下一次面臨死亡的感覺時，就再也睜不開眼睛了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWACm96QoI
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vDcbuLEAO
值得慶幸嗎？應該感到安慰嗎？至少已經脫離了怪物的行列吧。依奴不善長對一件事情的轉折表現出情感，他習慣默默地接受發生在自己身邊的變化。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GT3Kcu7Lo
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH98PYrePF
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzj7lX4Kdr
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbLNWIwFa3
象牙對自己來說是什麼樣的存在呢？是寵物抑或是夥伴？甚至能夠說是自己身體的一部份吧？但另個層面來看，象牙的存在也不過是依奴過去悲慘經驗的陰影罷了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcUyMk8klv
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGvqnlUQwE
他們是那段黑歷史的最後根據。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xAAd47Zyg

此刻連同馴狗人的研究場一同埋葬了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFboUHQ2SW

赫恩若有所思地凝視著無人的街道。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPoON3evXN

「或許有那麼一點吧，在妳身上找到『自己的投影』。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAFvQUcUmt
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXEPsBm47M
依奴低垂著頭，淡淡地說：449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iR4eotWKW

「所以，想要將妳從這個都市中拉出來的心情，我能篤定自己是認真的。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xKS4yEV3u

「依奴當時是怎麼逃出來的呢？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOlldKEPIy

「我很感謝『黑色聖夜』。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRdVK98l2b
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbA6DrnGCw
赫恩對於依奴的發言，露出了疑惑的表情。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhHA5UuuO2
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0sBN8rEE5
「黑色聖夜發生後，訓練機構中的警備系統癱瘓，我們率領著自己的狼犬，突破研究室的大門，殺死逃竄的科學家，從警衛手中奪走槍枝。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ6PxDSvE3

不，正確來說，尚年幼的我們無法拿捏分寸。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkM1oIA2u5
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh58VLUjOrZ
我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gnrsstxyI
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLOrHK8sak
因此，我們解放了自己的憎恨。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4HCiWVbmF

不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdvSxPWQDH

無數無辜的人死了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XExldDBAV
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhrlBHqOpl
要說我們「如同野獸一般」這樣的形容法是不精確的。因為受盡折磨的孩子與遭到囚困的狼犬們，兩者之間的恨意重疊、融合，最後那是跟獸性沒有兩樣的情緒。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzukZaWYM7

過不了多久，來自中央發展區的鎮壓軍隊封鎖了醫院，展開肅清。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXEWyFXRJe

「才會留下這樣的痕跡……」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNss6HNN8e

「嗯，除了我以外，醫院裡沒有任何人生還。長達兩個小時的僵持戰鬥，也讓對方犧牲了將近六十名軍人。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS0Oj1VpsX
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwJlwh9V4c
「不過依奴最後成功離開了這座城市對吧？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIyV7Uverk

「我在邊境遊蕩了整整一個月，最後遇到了倫斯。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg99Q6D2qh
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bnp9ZddHm
倫斯把我帶到高盧生活，為了讓即使是怪物的我也能生存下去，他帶著我到處去尋找戰爭，從中賺錢。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnsma6Pj7T

「嗯，當時我覺得並沒有什麼不好。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg1EfYdhYF

應當說，他相當感謝倫斯給了他一條新的道路。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroixrgpLCB

449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAO5ayQvWd
最後整個傭兵團被游擊隊吸收，然後輾轉認識了旭夜，才真正了解了自己以前生活的都市。能源局為了塑造這座先進的閻動都市，究竟犧牲了多少外人？時至今日就算再探究也毫無意義，只要明白……閻融爐所帶來的災厄比利益更多就足夠了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPEeGPm0F5
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJaxU3XB4P
「但是，」赫恩的話音走到嘴邊，她踟躕地沉默了數秒。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEQBT8adxl
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiwUfQkjVF
依奴的表情沒有變化，不過這副事不關己的姿態，在她眼中早已經藏不住什麼。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHqoBT9i6V

「你為什麼回到曾經逃離的地方呢？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqovXLQUzO

自由的意義在於──能夠由自己定義自己的價值。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlyaed4EsV

如果把那些語言套在自己身上，那麼黑色聖夜所帶來的死亡，那些直到今日依然徘徊於她的腦海中的働哭與低喃，他們的存在意義又如何？449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44GLayb0t2

那些聲音，那些死亡。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVjRUoeTGB

屬於「黑色聖夜」的真實只能有一個。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYGXZB1U8u

赫恩搖晃著腦袋，濕潤的銀白色髮絲因此狼狽地搖晃。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPsky4OCs6
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvFBTqijxS
她不自覺地用雙手掌掐緊自己的脖子，試圖讓與上地雜亂思緒窒息。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT262J3UCl

現在衝擊著胸口的這種感覺，是感情嗎？449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMH2lXaSHy

她驚愕地抬起頭。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCIYGAh7Yk
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lT8NALgre
下一秒，依奴伸出手臂，將她瘦弱的身體摟進懷裡，赫恩的臉側緊貼著少年的胸膛。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCeFofTQTB
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH2IvINVE5
「聽見了嗎，這個心跳聲？聽到血液撞擊心室的聲響了吧？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPweBkwD4Ec

依奴低著頭，在赫恩耳際輕與呢喃：449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2f1aNdznS
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHJR9S2lfV
「把視線放在我身上！妳存在的此刻，我和妳一樣存在著。如果妳必須為那些早已無法吐息的死者背負罪咎，那麼現在抱著妳的我該怎麼辦？」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX2OkY2ZHX

依奴將赫恩抱得更緊，令她無法喘息。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXIiLR9rkG
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdllP2b3BTO
「妳沒有做錯！自始自終存在的，就僅僅是妳自己而已！別自作多情了！死者就是死者，過去就是過去，妳才沒有背負性命獲罪業的權力！將我從地獄之中拯救之後，接下來赫恩必須拯救的，僅能拯救就是妳自己！不是為了誰，是為了赫恩妳！」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqwAi0SPqf
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5rRHwd0in
赫恩因為驚愕而睜大的雙眼，隨著少年的話音逐漸恢復了神色。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9qCN6YEhu
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWRaGlGGvO
虛脫感在她嬌小的身軀上擴散，就像剛剛從恐怖的惡夢裡掙脫，赫恩輕輕加深了呼吸，不再恐慌地顫抖。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgb88yCI4H
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAI4MQGH0X
倚靠著依奴的身體，她安逸地閉起雙眸。接著，像是要讓對方知道自己已經沒事了，她發出了微弱地聲音：449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3mGJcNEXw
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VlyRwpaAC
「依奴的胸膛……很溫暖。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzs9WMlf5p

所以，已經沒有問題了。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsWuiRjSRd

微風的低吟填充了對話的沉默，穿梭於曾被砲火責罰過後的都市。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS7ffs76ua
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs2DeIR4Tk
彷彿在確認彼此的容身之處，依奴與赫恩感受著對方的存在，試著用這一點點微薄的證明，讓彼此不致於迷惘在這片廢墟當中。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE1GVqMUe7
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2UqoS92mh
不知過了多久，響起的細碎電子音才打斷了他們的沉默。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4j5IyeIk4

掛在依奴腰際的通訊儀器發出了電碼的頻率。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkMT5DV3SE
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyQyM5BRyS
依奴沒有任何動作，只是緊抱著赫恩，將那段訊息聽完。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2TSReDyh2

同樣的頻率重複了兩次，在這之後，通訊儀器再次回歸死寂。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r1K7VRIaf

面對懷中少女的提問，他一時間無法用任何言語應答。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPPgEFdVVA
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShPHrgjPlb
他將自己的臉埋在赫恩肩上，僅限此刻，貪婪地試圖保留那股氣息。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6goBYFAJqx

「摩托車的油已經加滿了，我們繼續向西前進，一天後就能夠出海，從水路離開的話還能逃到其他國家。我們現在就從這片地獄離開，然後再也不要回來。」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlW572FjOy

「地獄——」449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2i35ZGc8i
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlFKRAdTUg
此刻浮現在赫恩腦海中的，並非毫無生息的研究所、虛假繁華的街道、撩亂交錯的燈光，也沒有潰散崩塌的高樓、解體沉降的橋樑或哀哭掙扎的人們。449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy40wwC9nDY
