這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3akUnjys7j
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS0sge24IH
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva4ZuBKIiZ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ47vljehNJ
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGfi2a6oep
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehu9sREski
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsnWyrOH8H
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35BQg1kpke
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxcp4RmSyG
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MY8KsbzvG
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFlVWqVDol
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXBXwvDVLp
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrajUQTVpL
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZJE3siFgi
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdufMjS75IR
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2TvlU2Hsf
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzYVxoHWHa
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14rAGA33Yc
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE4feobUu7
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw05BhrV9Qh
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHqJpGEr8Y

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrRs96jUzX
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zF8N5wrlG
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX3it7TgTq
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG47JmpHKL
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujQwx4HrAx
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnYxQmiRq4
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCi4aB2W5e
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuHFouegJ8
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8Nxciy48L
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f4YZAzrHH
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68Cd1X5Gdv
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM70q0WCvAb
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUSpMvxMdy
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1x3ZzceRd
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM5y8GYVd0
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAsAYtIEib
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4inNin0BwQ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6gxuBiv7L
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnVUI4usJh
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTWMJm9I9Z
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq1DisNjE4
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbLf0nLwIE
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVK8iaDvjS
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffuMhHei0e
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppzLnodUmG
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsczXLNuVz
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LFMNElZTV
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99sJHd2oKo
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDiySA3u7Q
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxkyTMlITI
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBMphefeo7
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQqkda3Vba
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNWfdXeBqp
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSKWcwNbfo
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwgXOC44gT
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxPyVYfdon
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──440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x0FohhalR
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0GZ2wtdZC
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3QtmHJnNK
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRvOrVXyxU
「唔嗚！」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAkkCIBeAQ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTogYKGcFrN
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM7iYW350Y
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1fzQLO1Dj
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtFxSIRhEW
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6iaPQ7vGT
「依奴！」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCVMSzwb7s
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QcyVl0MtR
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6GwfFlKkp
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLsTuDLbwz
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaVlsB4rM6
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PKtCZRGXp
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRhUK6lvIf
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmHYaSTsBx
「依奴──」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqGvCBLNh8
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4fddba2GN
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzoMB1TdHf
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61Et2s9WqR
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0S4EBk2gM
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNuCLfVqK0
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNesV2JbXme
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKsgBUCD6j
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVbHOvfHe1
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5wPQyEBry
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0T9ID5TtT
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIpEq7Nsp6
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF7oKbexGv
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETYgt3bYfe
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93yUZro4NR
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWlHcEjtZv
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHMVP4BDL5
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2WwQM4foY
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiYK60FlDm
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiORUIubKxi
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T3BWUqz4s
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiAGDzOvE5
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFll7MKgeMp
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy9Ewx7uOE
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeztvutBUzr
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARHerg2nxk
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubxioBbU4P
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerJC2CII95
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyW8DL71Tn
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXal3aqObt
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eGEeHLy3t
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPB4EAXbRAU
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblOlqsl262
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwCRQI2Yun
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgZK2zEH7m
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMuhkrqXtJ
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iImZ0XHR5
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JxOZY5FK2
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmKNuLAs9s
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny1LREyfdf
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUkDomxYah
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBmyFGJYQi
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ315CbA6pyg
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gRjo6Ucxc
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuJGweJHd1
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGGxcqpNNU
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHGCTlVwGV
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelLtjwakcD
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdRrZw764w
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYemqmu3XEx
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtct3vfVl29
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9dVVdPL3m
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFwOqhEg46
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFjZRUjyU6
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX5bssdxYK
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXSHqF97oR
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMGf5unPzT
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6uXZ9pR2Z
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X3Nu9STDN
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEGK6tetme
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ4dYpznOQ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpUgt1VXlT
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d69QnPIdR
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWrneyaDEB
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RklIOJJMv
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2q74xxXNJ
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCTPtPYsJ4
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqupC85KzAq
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ817CelHpJU
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtrtLWVqFc
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE1XXDmYc1
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRW2BaUJ0E
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hLUz50la6
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB7bDTEHe4
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHneMM7hzzF
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunMHAHmOgi
「我早就習慣了。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveaYONLGia
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgB7KDGg3Fj
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoXjFaJePg
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUFPmZudB6
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iKBrfXcVQ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKzvzK1l27
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXppLAOsgjx
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcGmXBUS1f
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFMxz6XcS3
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7zlqT2iCT
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pUc5TxYWC
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdzSNun1WY
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNtGwqBQke
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hVglDcXCb
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33ue6R2T2E
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4cR6YJRsP
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQLl6hpHFy
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk3A5dIbln
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0FtGBYlpE
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P3wPDxwaC
「這裡是？」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e9TgdfqZG
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jCGDJqy0l
「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。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn85imk5wE
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG3IitU7Iu
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoWYcrcRA0
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqSwYnADBQ
「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。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM04htQOAxy
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjVboYKQSz
依奴指了指身後的醫院：440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV9yeuxvDc
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTLpQ5sTGg
「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。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpADZk022eK
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsd5umBiey
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil2MYkZloI
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dEUBUkI03
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ2md4VE0a
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK2cs4yw5u
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rWaN6NT6B
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE4xgWnRRP
「不可以嗎？」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMYkt3HSM3
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJq9lJYtKy
「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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvvWCIZTtU
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYwFJhuc8X
「把杯蓋給我。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZFY1hojGG
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYUdK7TmD7
「就讓我握一下吧。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmod4wF9svu
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlayFwVYpU7
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNdA6VJuGh
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz7Y2dcsl3
「依奴。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9Az85MIAn
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEg2LjbYmn
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcDS6D2KPJ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3ueQQi7YR
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2jxPc4mWJ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXALnxMH0qr
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VtXcuqhbn
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP6lBKfnT3
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDXiKtAnxc
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGO8sOtRvQ
「溫度回來了。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBfEDZehXe
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7R7sSyoWv
「好了嗎？」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp0qfJFbHw
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0veRdzDJj
「再稍微這樣一下子。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QZds1oEGW
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ex1IA5H1D
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrbk5HsWvH
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0bW4Mfgpo
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm64z1tBxrd
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzmOgAQ1Wn
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──440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXQfEa38fe
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtKV2ILPnG
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSTNreSPUV
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzomchAwG4
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWQv2Yj8ws
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g2spVNs3z
「喂。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lypjjMwms
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYWFUCLQDo
「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？」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslSjQlUs5x
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQf4JeYNM7
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7sU2wguxx
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1KHr2xoxe
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYak5NDJKed

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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGRr06co4Y
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6HDqIw8di
依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUSUc4BXA5
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFQGauYiIR
玻璃碎塊零落地四散一地，在積滿灰塵地地面上刮出痕跡。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8qDX3J1NE
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEYhO1Uh3z
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID6g6qzGyg
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu9Pm4esDn
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib1DvyETQd

「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。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjVjS61XET

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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJYctx9Qh0
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqlARR7qXV
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNomO1l4wk9
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrtNaIBxPE
「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGrvknQoUh
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIBffM62cY
依奴用平淡的口氣說：440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kwvjqvyey

「而且，也根本無從整理起呢。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20vJK4Yy2I

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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jPbSZ8Obv
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIYDbt6Xrg
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR27nt0Oiz
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hs5iW5o4i
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvbYu8Zlg5
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ525Re4jro9
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrvxgeBvHk
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq9ZDhHVFu
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIQUhm7I1g
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NYajhHWpQ
赫恩想像著，體會著當時人們的惶恐、絕望。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV70vNXZqJ6

兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEdhyc9nee
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4Nn7922Wu
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2SjSX0ItW
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6j6wgnLVC
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmuYq23mET
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PAqa2UrvF
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AGhiGBP5T
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKPvH39MLz
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」。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjQ0uibsuF
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODE9O6M9Qf
崩落的牆面、散落的磁磚、暴露的鋼筋。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsegtq5eL3o

徒留下形狀，散落於各處，無人為其收拾的、人的死骸。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zoZ1BzRn4
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr5HfdStl4
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBk1DeB4lB
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkjJudfGCr
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkzfgHuHV3
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7RDnELpuy
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVkIVZWHx0
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTuK1eGgAx
但為什麼要在這樣的地方作戰？甚至還用這麼重的手段？440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1E8aQTBkT

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmo3ScCWIy
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGL2DMEEDs

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：440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3lgXOGkvv

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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtFkuUeGp5

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HOgGdICqu
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvj2pr0Hko

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQRdrVHsl8
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEb9EOylYw

軍方在這個地下碉堡中，進行「馴狗人」的強化研究。而我們這些腦發育尚未結束的孩童，則做為替科學研究鋪路的實驗品。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHNSXv5hcy

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG7aDCtvRL
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMvncGW3tr

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSJlWcEUpY

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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QvqajhZ6j
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LigKpFZpZ
「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。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIicVd10HDq
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYFTaSKFgw
「但是依奴……」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDIcW45kmm

「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。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy3p1G2RUB
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylPi9cbXKt
說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLcJRwFubB
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2v6vhkkxu
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzbP9HQKWs
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxfD6vSFEc
「胸口被子彈貫穿的經驗，我倒是紮紮實實地體驗了一次。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFK2sOyKDd
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRYaLHu4OP
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSke38Mk9Ln
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb0TsOn7Zl
「這樣的事情已經再也不會發生了。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnAi1EkVZN

世界上最後一條馴狗人的軍犬已經喪命了。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE31eonhmU4
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfzNvbcg98
下一次面臨死亡的感覺時，就再也睜不開眼睛了。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTz1nYS0ec
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZPtr1Exx2
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH3oqS4vrg
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYDLFZkCUh
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvAXNh0ktl
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbERKn7EvOX
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeZKSEW3uB
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwMTol9CyM
他們是那段黑歷史的最後根據。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyWFymFhfP

此刻連同馴狗人的研究場一同埋葬了。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwDeWTaPva
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpNODFi6j0
赫恩若有所思地凝視著無人的街道。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj9wTXKQTn
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQHMAGBkQa
「或許有那麼一點吧，在妳身上找到『自己的投影』。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS3JiuXQmz
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jDvDtC2VX
依奴低垂著頭，淡淡地說：440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZbqny2V0E
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEoAdYwN7G
「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。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXSHeU0V6a
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMe4ujitud
「依奴當時是怎麼逃出來的呢？」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMbHr04I6t
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojzLTfMuYX
「我很感謝『黑色聖夜』。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYjAb3ZcdY
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yVvA6kJId
赫恩對於依奴的發言，露出了疑惑的表情。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBZsKlbtHw
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSv2OKK4KT
「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。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3M5L8g7l1
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkmhHxDRTI
最後，用炸藥在醫院的地板上製造了通道。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmgKvo7Zb9
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspeqz1GcWC
我們是以軍人為前提訓練的孩子，所以要突破一所醫院是輕而易舉。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktvwLnhCAr
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FI3elCL7v
不，正確來說，尚年幼的我們無法拿捏分寸。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLcLBuR9RW
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKNDOtUJC5
我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3S8oTp0om
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkvnnWX3CN
因此，我們解放了自己的憎恨。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviYJ2WUN4W
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe1gNNNJxl
不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UOQNrkEK6
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LtROGFsg8
無數無辜的人死了。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5h4coMjdE
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GPI8HdpsI
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7fASPYdJ2
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU9V523TLj
從牢籠支中掙脫，親手得到了染滿鮮血的「自由」後，我們放手做盡自己擅長之事。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbyPiDGHVr
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvW4O3qY22
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozpH14QMR1
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef5SrGrpTM
「才會留下這樣的痕跡……」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9kwc1icEH
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8Gdu781F2
「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。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxWv7tLWIB
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v5j5uW5Go
「不過依奴最後成功離開了這座城市對吧？」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWLCKbBTp0
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGPRKome3O
「我在邊境遊蕩了整整一個月，最後遇到了倫斯。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgkXwK930I
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6NhY6vUsw
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmELcpxe7Yu
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYe2SAJh8W
「也就是傭兵？」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2KA7Sk6C1
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWapMJouBc7
「嗯，當時我覺得並沒有什麼不好。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5SzFIu3CC
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uCAEDJG1e
應當說，他相當感謝倫斯給了他一條新的道路。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PrcVqZfVW
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnrxwtZGsr
當生存的選擇從零變成一時，無論什麼人都會欣喜若狂吧。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN5LyWX5B7
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ75ejbIUs
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh7SrGMIm3
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnwUrAOW8f
「但是，」赫恩的話音走到嘴邊，她踟躕地沉默了數秒。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNv6MAEytcC
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrHw8PTMGu
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf6E7duhSq
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI042k6Qvq
那雙冷漠的眼眸中並不是毫無感情的。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6YWIt0rmi

「為什麼選擇回來呢？」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5ZzBMsIvd

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV2v8zAqEb
「你為什麼回到曾經逃離的地方呢？」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGCHnkW1Xe

首先在鐵檻的鎖頭上敲下第一錘的，是掀起所有慘劇的、純白的少女。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIBD1R6zKr
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFkqmpEh5f
由於她的存在，我們這些生存於黑暗之中的人們所期待的「崩塌」才能擴展。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fZEI8aree

依奴將手臂向後支撐，仰起視線欣賞逐漸開朗的清晨天空。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ2ttyiYVq
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ovnxvwuMD
「赫恩，妳就是我的『存在價值』。我是因為妳才活下來的，那麼接下來我要為了妳而活著，我覺得應該如此，而且我也喜歡這個決定。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlygqAcVJ6l
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcljMSVT7j
自由的意義在於──能夠由自己定義自己的價值。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNN5zYGHYj
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHMSJOXft6
依奴所歸屬的『價值』，僅僅是與赫恩相遇。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Dz96cQi2r

「不……不行。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCCS2UehoJ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ11p0Bj5T
赫恩搖了搖頭，沉下雙眸並且避開了依奴的視線。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv991ZPQP1b
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvyYjOwon7
「我的存在能夠讓誰獲得自由、值得讓誰來犧牲奉獻——依奴現在所說的話……總覺得好可怕。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0W4KscUec
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcYTSTKFy1
赫恩瑟縮著身體，凌駕於寒冷之上的理由，讓她畏縮地環抱著自己。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p4zhmHYdn
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6Iie67wNl
拯救、回報、恩惠、生存價值之類的飄渺字眼，太過銳利了。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8CO501OrU
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52uwG1T1J8
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？440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzXCXW6Og6
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk5G97s1rs
那些聲音，那些死亡。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMM3KMl0yD
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmcWnALy3g
她能夠擺脫那些混濁的過往，自私地追求自己的解放嗎？440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfx1X3uYAT
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9USpdlyok
屬於「黑色聖夜」的真實只能有一個。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvHf7bYGia
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMnDMNR00A
那就是能夠永遠奪走人們笑容的，瘋狂且腐敗的慘劇。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjtibmyQL0

「依奴，我是造成大家死亡的『災難』……」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP8t7mJL20
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvqWMhXz3O
赫恩搖晃著腦袋，濕潤的銀白色髮絲因此狼狽地搖晃。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4MPOzmzfU
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lfIGqgMj6
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAijDxhuhIk
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPwKEbV4NJ
現在衝擊著胸口的這種感覺，是感情嗎？440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlIUEiBlCx
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFT0BX0Lc0
這就是恐懼嗎？440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBDldVthck

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoHAjEJg7M
她迷惘地低喃，無法理解如何啜泣的她，只能不停顫抖著。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2VExyzHX5
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv45IFcOFvm
「如果總有一天，保護著我的依奴也會像那些死去的人一樣，被災難的陰影吞噬掉，在我腦中化為虛無的殘影，這樣的話我不要……」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5GUpvP47y
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4PSb2qwin
「赫恩，看著我，我還活著！」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa6nzBCKsj
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8i78quRZT
她驚愕地抬起頭。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3rjdyIaSf
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0o2ptrlVN
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHByu1UKzt1
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oLVtK2kMp
「聽見了嗎，這個心跳聲？聽到血液撞擊心室的聲響了吧？」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFEH7TRvjY
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W11d3rn8R
依奴低著頭，在赫恩耳際輕與呢喃：440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK6DrN4Y88
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShe9dRMQNx
「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？」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbtATQXzGv
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vfyw3Ez9p
「可是……」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30bfRtpFOh
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQGTdIlegJ
依奴將赫恩抱得更緊，令她無法喘息。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaGXen0QQn
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoV2nclQZ0
「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！」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KGrkURqqY
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgXzm34ajh
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwhMJNGseP
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWsnB5bW7G
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3poB57NSYa
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsFSxS7S4x
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：440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSndXNL6O2b
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vPWdWLKzD
「依奴的胸膛……很溫暖。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBlCsjC1Fa
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7rAUjRIAn
「感受到了嗎？」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu6OK1yoXs
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfnPRWuXaR
「嗯，感受到了，活著的依奴，還有活著的我自己。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2caK1XellM
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGdqnROIiN
所以，已經沒有問題了。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbPHSYLpkR
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zCwEMBmWk
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyjT084RgN
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zDCbZe96V
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtBIQmMpn7
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKeknNhpIO
不知過了多久，響起的細碎電子音才打斷了他們的沉默。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTYJRY8sWZ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2XaaTRgzK
掛在依奴腰際的通訊儀器發出了電碼的頻率。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DVPRLKERV
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D1feWUDg3
依奴沒有任何動作，只是緊抱著赫恩，將那段訊息聽完。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJxfLS9mM3
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsKRy3AJpu
同樣的頻率重複了兩次，在這之後，通訊儀器再次回歸死寂。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1nvxy5HeW
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRr3ttXNBI
「是艾瑪利的訊息。」依奴的聲音顯得低沉且無情緒，甚至有些僵硬。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqTx62W13h

「戰爭終於要開始了，對吧。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLarcA619Hc

那些受害者、受益者、得救者、期望者們，將要匯聚在一起。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA3omuwPQ4

「依奴要去當傭兵了嗎？」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQiirxIF9L
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZbyEsnOLp
面對懷中少女的提問，他一時間無法用任何言語應答。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2SYQfFC2B
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lmCJBSfaj
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjru1HYf1CT
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X58KSMU7e
「和我一起逃走吧。」他低喃著：440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyM6gnkhDW
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjlKMnShX5
「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。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS52dWnecWu
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTsTbPEDA3
「地獄——」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyjWY34LWL
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr8YY5SaGU
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。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLbBXVGmno
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIIyqWAbgs
閃過的畫面，只有譚雅那泫然欲泣的表情。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUuOLUy61w

陌生的穿刺感痛擊了她的胸膛。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3euMbtYDD

這份尚未命名的情感，刺激著她沉寂的胸口，催促著她去感受。440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LwdGjKrDG
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgHlQh3AK1
赫恩輕輕搖了搖頭：440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPWpgh09F4

「不可以，」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzat6XLUk77

「依奴，請帶我回去吧。」440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpASQerAmkm
