香港，某私家醫院的私人病房中。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxjmTcmCFr
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAcWYi7BvC
這時候，私人病房內正上演著一場豪門爭產，三姊弟反目成仇的精彩戲碼。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9liC9vKca
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMN6tgleb5
潔白病塌上的躺了一個正在安睡的花髮老翁。若不是床頭的心率機顯示的心電圖仍有波紋，大概以為他已經死掉。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyexuIRNTo
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIemb59vrB
陳啟光，已經七十有三。他是香港地產界的老行尊，全港富豪榜的頭三名，更是多間建立多間孤兒院的善長人翁。他白手起家，擁有神一樣的經商技巧。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4WefiATeR
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK1jCn2lpA
盡管如此，人類不是永垂不朽的神明，注定敵不過生老病死。陳啟光病重，需要動心臟手術。由於陳啟光年事已高，即使已經找來醫術高明的醫生，存活機會依然相當渺茫。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBByO51LAJ
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyeJLzTIl5
在家人的苦口婆心的勸說下，陳啟光接受了動心術的建議。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2g6kwXHW7

諷刺地，父親手術失敗正是在床邊吵架的三姊弟的共同願望。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwzFs76bo5
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD28QyjOXHF
小時候的聖誕節，這三姊弟滿心童真，曾經一起蹲在窗邊，烏黑的眼晴從狹小的窗戶窺探繁星，祈求聖誕老公公騎著鹿車出現，然後爬進來送他們鐵皮公仔和洋娃娃。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqrwdobDQR

爬牆，其實是蜘蛛俠才會做的事，但這不是重點。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ntpLOaGlm

咯！咯！一道狼狽的身影出現在窗戶外。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrVD1jAs1T

「大姊，你是外嫁女，最後都有人養，又何必跟我們爭來爭去呢？一句到底，我佔五成。」陳展安扠腰，在病床的另一邊反問。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37v0fklPg2
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlci6tgBhzM
「喂！你可是孻仔，出世之後已經不用捱窮，家裡最幸福就是你。怎樣說都不能佔半吧！」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftKuwqggjy

正當這三姊弟要沒完沒了地爭論下去時，一直站在房門外的醫生推門而入，身後的俏護士拿著病歷板緊隨其後。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLcycCa8sa
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPoDKbiUkx
「陳先生，醫院範圍不能抽煙。而且，吸煙危害健康。」年輕醫生說道。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcr0C6m7KL

「關你屁事？」陳展進不耐煩。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecaLY1n8Rg

「小心不舉。」俏護士友善微笑，杏眸中的寒光卻讓陳展進把粗話嚥回肚子裡。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5wc4S5sZI

「咳咳，主診醫生今天有事，所以我替陳老先生檢查。我的護士很美，但愈美的女人愈危險。說實在的，她真的很危險—」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g6PNvPXs4

這位戴方框眼鏡，穿大白掛的年輕醫生正是黃嘉明。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKJ5Q2PgZE

至於他身邊那個長得比明星漂亮的俏護士自然是依翠絲。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbsg7BgUBN
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7ko1Ve7Xz
病房房門關上，黃嘉明坐在病床旁邊的椅子上，輕嘆一口氣，眼尾餘光落在陳啟光蒼老的臉龐上。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JhmzN70J1
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OBWUhfF0d
「陳老先生，該起床了。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLGII7ENJR
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYHyrKNNiW
陳啟光果然醒著。他緩緩睜開眼，好奇地打量這個料事如神的年輕醫生，然後默不作聲地看著天花板。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdhbznfFNM

「抱歉啊年輕人，讓你看笑話了。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUjBnFExyF

「我家的經嘛，特別厚。我經商大半世，最後才發現原來最難經營的生意還是這頭家，哈哈。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqFB0u90FM

陳啟光濁咳兩聲，蠟黃的臉龐掛著淒涼而乏力的笑容。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZVZ0yyo7O

黃嘉明扶他坐起來，倒了杯暖水。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HtimSM868

「謝謝。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7zrIyH8fw

「陳老先生，你應該清楚這個手術有幾複雜，成功機會有幾低？」黃嘉明翻閱病歷板，隨意問道。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQGwewNKrP
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQATZ8Eoem
「大概撐不過去，哈哈。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjNwHLJR0Y
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw83sQFjWnI
「該不會是你的兒女要求吧？當你手術失敗，他們藉此質疑遺囑，對薄公堂，讓自己成為最後的得益者。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzZXJyHzDN
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV3HgHivOk
陳啟光呷一口水，用沉默代替答案。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS3nZP6LHy
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WQHAR2WiO
黃嘉明不滿道：「不孝子。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vEkjJAoRN
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtvWW4ZzRK
「嘖，年少求生，年老求死，這是人之常情。喔，對了，這位小護士是你的戀人吧？挺郎才女貌，眼光不錯喲。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZeU2ir3MJ
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB0qixOhdF
「他就想。」依翠絲矢口否認。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqx2QJRJMI
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LYxYYP8AZ
「陳老先生，你老花了。」黃嘉明尷尬搔頭，續道：「別轉移話題。作為醫生，我們必須確定你的意願。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F3JQ2f55V
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OUrlzApwv
「或者說⋯⋯你不恨你的兒女嗎？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXvdwpr79K
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG7dhIO04H
「好吧好吧。醫生，你打開櫃桶的紙箱，把裡面的東西翻出來就明白了。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMii3DZYw45
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGkDfO1aXE
黃嘉明狐疑兩秒，點頭照辦。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1YBiEeJx7
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjhJprmdPo
打開紙箱，裡面放了幾件玩具，一個「鐵人廿八」鐵皮公仔，一個「幪面超人一號」面具和一個椰菜娃娃，墊底的還有幾張泛黄，用畫紙摺成的聖誕卡。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEKcBxPV1J
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbzQRsGcXw
「幪面超人⋯⋯鐵人廿八⋯⋯嘩，頭髮亂七八糟，這麼醜的妞。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7hyMHdErI
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ErELDQYTq
「你才醜，這是椰菜娃娃。椰菜娃娃是上世紀80年代，從美國興起的玩具。抱歉，這位醫生弱智的。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZVmJbtKCX
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOju97zfVGO
「哈哈！想不到現在的年輕女孩都知道椰菜娃娃啊！」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4yLiEpQWN
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtSTbJZjK7
陳啟光不知道的是，他口中的年輕女孩可是活了過百年，比他閱歷還要豐富的魔女。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooeNFtY3SK
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMEC2QWbCI
「這些玩具是他們小時候的聖誕禮物。想當年我還扮過聖誕老人逗他們開心呢！父母和孩子是贈予和回饋的關係。我買他們喜歡的玩具，他們的聖誕咭是我的回報。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dLdKTtYAU
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdZwox7bA4
「真是現實。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UE426uAfp
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TZwaPvmIL
「當然，我是一個商人。假如我買一件玩具花幾百塊，那他們一張聖誕咭就值一千塊，至於他們的笑聲嘛，每聲當一百塊好啦。雖然他們長大後就沒有再歡笑過，但說到底我這個父親還是賺了。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuN3Jrmf3e
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B3dQGt819
「我啊，打算賺最後一把。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9LJSiOWyG

「如果我快點消失，遺產可以換到他們笑聲，那麼我仍然是贏家。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRubtKYyg9
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZiAUCTJJh
陳啟光的歪理和瘋狂，也許只有身為父親的人才能夠體會。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf2b5ctra5
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX2E11rEM7
黄嘉明和依翠絲聽到老人的笑聲，兩人心頭一酸，也不再說下去。聽到這裡，他們已經確定一個鐵錚錚的事實。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5js3VtWpB4
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDIUe5Abal
陳啟光一心求死。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRmS3SUVH3

不一會，當黄嘉明和依翠絲離去之際，陳啟光卻把他們叫住。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M9fHctKBY
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTGnkG3XCp
「醫生，你到時不會在手術室吧？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20ZJR7Ypux
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eICt3UuUG
「我還有更重要的『心臟手術』，其他醫生做不來的手術。」黄嘉明說道。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdTizYWjI9
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKFFWMZZE1
「那就好，看到在手術床翹毛的老頭會留陰影，哈哈。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S1tZ2ZmNX

與陳啟光見面的三日後晚上，奧托蘭姆的藏書廳。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NLoY9FBO3
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSVXTNL9ZD
奧托蘭姆的藏書廳位於學院南塔的頂層，挑高十米，分成兩個樓層，大拱頂玻璃天花讓天空的自然光灑下，使它看起來格外典雅。圓形大廳擺放一張張長桌椅，高不見頂的書架包圍大廳，扇形的排列和密密麻麻的書海井井有條。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLYN9Rjck4
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgPcdCWSop

「書，是實體化的自由之劍，同時是獨裁者的又愛又恨的工具。更重要的是，它們是薪火相傳的象徵，承傳前人的智慧結晶。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlCfpSaV78
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc80fd1BgL
這段話並非黄嘉明胡謅，而是出自《靈魂世界編年史》的序言，他曾經在房間的書櫃無聊翻讀時看過，對此特別深刻。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L7eOckZ9r
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMCmemEu6l
像之前說過，黄嘉明其實很聰穎，只是一向懶惰。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl3onOHyJt

他沒有特別喜歡書本的氣味，但此時他卻不得不讀。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WURFs6lNA

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLvw4SmigD
黄嘉明在書架前來回踱步，指尖像太空人登月般漫步，企圖在茫茫書海中尋找他要的資料。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u94PkY3X3
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlgsTwEk2z
「調整，調整⋯⋯怎麼還是沒有？」他氣餒搖頭。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfwvFUFfXk

「你應該清楚靈魂駭客的守則？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkKxZDKnEe
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAklfHMreb
永遠保持客觀，不能在接觸目標的過程中使其惡化。這是身為靈魂駭客的第一條戒律，亦是最重要的戒律。每個職業都有自己的禁忌，道理就像做殺手不能出賣委託人，混黑道不能勾二嫂。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4At4MF7n35

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNut00C1xq
入侵陳啟光靈魂的心魔名為壽妖，屬於D級心魔，特別喜歡患重病或絕症，像陳啟光這種病人。他們像寄生蟲般榨取宿主的生命力，同時使宿主的求生意志消沉，有的宿主更因此想歪，在疾病的折磨下自尋短見。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5oHejFYar
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzi8VN2FKj
在一般人類眼中的病患自殺案，實情卻是壽妖作祟。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfHhz7mqh2
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENUt7ZjMbS
壽妖在眾魔中實力不強，亦不會在宿主身體具象化，使其變成魔物。可是，在靈魂迷宮吸取生命力後的壽妖實力倍增，而宿主求生意志愈低，他們的力量愈強大，死纏心之時計不放，是調整師頭痛不已的心魔。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl4s37G2Gc

「真的嗎？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjArRK2YYv
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZzgFEcWyn
黃嘉明移開視線：「當然。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXFRqNZUFf
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LYkjvC9gc
「好吧。在找甚麼？有院長可以幫忙的事嗎？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAPB7DVNow
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2EhuSiQxh
「我在找關於『調整術』還有魂器的資料⋯⋯」黃嘉明含糊其詞。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjal4JQyFz
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1paiXrAE3
「『調整術』，是跟靈魂駭客有關吧？嘿嘿。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox9vMWfZpU
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZB4mnptbi
黃嘉明沉思兩秒：「我想印證自己某種想法。不過，找翻遍這裡的典籍，始終沒有我想要的答案。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoSywuSI6y
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7pMsrAkNM
「答案？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTBhhmDnBk
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q0J7dFJbZ
「例如把人類帶進靈魂迷宮。我知道那是禁忌，只是隨便說說而已，哈哈。」黃嘉明聳聳肩。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3KXdq7sq1
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlhicUKbXe
「確實，靈魂駭客的約則中禁止將普通人帶進靈魂迷宮。這裡沒有你想要的答案。」紐卡遜壓下聲線，古怪地笑道：「院長我剛好有一本舊書，或者有你想要的東西，嘿嘿。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fAbj1dAtn
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6GgOvsNxC
「真的？」黃嘉明兩眼發光。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1f3jJUch0
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E9lUIj1Oz
「嘿嘿嘿，要換個地方，到我的辦公室喝杯酒嗎？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGPnUabOOu
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC54D7by6kK
黃嘉明聞言，夾緊屁股：「我不賣色，絕對不賣菊花！我以前在蘭桂芳聽過這些對白不下百次。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOP08nuWEK
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QzD3Z4tr7
「你去死吧，怎會變成這樣弱智啊？」紐卡遜的金鴿手杖叩落黃嘉明額頭。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKceP67A2yK
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodR8zr71KO
「院長？我不是弱智。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nAbuRfIoy
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0Qn0xuwsv

院長室燈光柔和，壁爐的火光搖曳，在古老的灰牆上拉出兩道長長的影子，整個空間傳出陣陣的煙醺肉乾、烤棉花糖還有波本威士忌的香氣。唱機的指針劃動平滑的黑膠唱片，披頭四的輕快歌聲繞樑不散。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8mulTThGr
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVpJfpaj1H
紐卡遜院長很喜歡約翰藍儂，就連圓形眼鏡也是同一款式，黃嘉明暗忖。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYb0nbtUAa
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX06x1f9cgj
黃嘉明第二次來到這間擺滿西洋古董和書籍的院長室，上一次已經是半年前，在這裡跟蘭鐸教的修道院學生對招，敗得一塌糊塗。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpV8GLQjnN
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPXOU0W5kK
事實上，奧托蘭姆的學生也沒有幾個參觀過院長室，黃嘉明卻對此不以為然。要是讓其他人知道大概會犯眾怒，先被脫清光，然後吊在奧托蘭姆的旗桿上示眾洩憤。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIIMvinrOd
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zQMDWQg6Y
這時，黃嘉明已把陳啟光的事情和盤托出。紐卡遜院長本來就清楚他的事情，而且直覺告訴他，這個慈祥老人肯定可信，擁有跟團長一樣的氣質。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dZsO6rqyo
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p4ZxnBjBk
紐卡遜院長拿著一本泛黃，書角被蟲蛀掉，用麻繩當橡根紮住的手札。他翻開手札，遞給黃嘉明，後者猶豫接住。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FXlF1FhMl
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheHTsHcKyj
當黃嘉明看到紙上的墨水字時，瞳孔驟然收縮成針，思緒像掉進大海的鉛塊，一時間沉沒在其中。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QrcgdZavw
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsUMn20PnI
「無錯無錯，就是這樣。難怪『調整課』沒有教，正常調整師都不會『讀心術』⋯⋯」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLUphqoTAn
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSF41RmmYk
「對對，原來還有這種方法嗎？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjxWlu9VZM
「我的想法果然沒有錯。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjDYxyynNr
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdchBPuPNn
黃嘉明一邊呷威士忌，一邊翻讀手札的內容，讀得津津有味。他的眼眸中閃爍興奮的神采，像鍊金術師找到賢者之石的鍊成方法；篤信有外星人的科學家發現真正的外星人；考古學家找到恐龍遺骸。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ37FFB688Z
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V63UFIbUO
這本手札闡述了「把人類帶進靈魂迷宮」的方法！268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtmQPYRdXB
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy7sPmJhY0
跟黃嘉明苦思出來的理論一樣，而且手札所寫的方法剛好踏在灰色地帶上，沒有觸犯靈魂駭客的約則。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3joN2nM7XO
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9b3rzUEJ7
不是從軀殼扯走對象的靈魂，而是讓他們進入夢境，然後成為他們的「夢之橋樑」連接至靈魂迷宮。當對象醒來後，最多感到疲倦，並不會有生命危險。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIPL4FOpfW
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGoc4oBJhM
而且，這個方法躲過法議廳的探測，倒了免卻不必要的麻煩。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXpEPjOfhc
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS8IqsCNTy
這是一本禁書。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kXsPvF2zb
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJzG3Ru0bL
「這本調整師手札是我故友的遺物。他是一個學者，專門鑽研一般魂師不會去思考的地方。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgmwGjjPsC
「也是，正常魂師都不會打算把毫無戰鬥力的人類挾進靈魂迷宮啦。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB4UaqVcfm
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmldiyCXDC3
「話說回來他跟你很相似，一樣不正常，哈哈。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRsE1G8ehA

「相似？哪方面？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS51txrF3C
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywinuiT1rG
「擁有跟你一樣，連魂師都會吃驚的神秘能力。你稱之為讀心術，對嗎？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6viJwJaV5
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HQA1FozRP
黃嘉明聞言一顫，聽到對方沒有發現自己是古魔，暗自鬆一口氣。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrIoqjyiiG
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGIlRQpB2t
「這個手札像為你而設嘛，現在交由你保管。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk5Q9HR6ig
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5BHWsKRTr
「院長，你不問我要讓誰進入靈魂迷宮嗎？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAbDaFBRmW
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8zv6iourc
「我相信我的學生。我只問一句好了，你會用在正確的地方，對吧？ 」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV9JE484eg
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2eTb7M1Je
「一定會。」黃嘉明重重點頭。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1uUy9EEwB
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZcNh7Hlu8
「那就足夠。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkAvzR3M66
「院長，我還有最後一個問題－」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtSSsYmUs4
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzeJqkIFtw
「我想想。唔⋯⋯你想問關於魂器的事情，手札的作者是不是同樣喚出一把『槍』，對嗎？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa48NCmdz8r
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1roKMPmP3x
「院長都會⋯⋯讀心？」黃嘉明震驚。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzbpiS6Zaq
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA1GenPmb2
「我靠的只是經驗。我那位故友是一位調整師，雖然性情乖僻，不過魂刃依然是劍。你的魂器可是學院最近的熱話，連導師都暗中議論紛紛。洛奇那個小子本來滿心期盼把劍術傳授給你，現在失望透頂了，哈哈哈。那是聞所未聞的魂槍啊！」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR4lgbebo0
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9bzSBuFdR
「史上最廢的槍。」黃嘉明補充。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ725ergjdf6
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcH5PiFHHi
他喚出古董銀槍，朝天發出「呠」的臭屁聲：「看吧。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzq7uoU96c
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogivqXxiTe
紐卡遜院長淡笑，出手快如閃電，瞬間抓住黃嘉明的手腕，讓槍管指向自己的眉心。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n8DAH5hQl
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHytfSthcPx
「院長！」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJhbuFyyV6

黃嘉明臉白如紙，猛然搖頭，眼前閃過一幕幕鮮紅的畫面，震耳欲聾的尖叫聲在他腦袋轟炸。他的食指傳來刺痛感，痛楚沿食指攀至他身體每一條神經，每一粒細胞。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjKkNY1maS

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW780FT78LS

「我開不了槍，而且轉輪裡面空空如也，甚麼都沒有。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUScUjPBIwl
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vM2klAhnf
紐卡遜院長饒有意味地指著清空的酒杯。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvoug1vXXd

「空空如也，才能裝下萬物，容得下善和惡，不是嗎？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLlUMZwhLK
