周諾寧站在一樓控制室的螢幕前面，臉色極深盯著畫面裡的男人，乖巧讓技術員給他戴上專用眼鏡，在空氣裡點點按按，旁邊實時顯示著他的心跳數。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UZjfBmJrf
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoi2BK8OgC
暫時還很平穩。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdzSKfd9Gs
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGrNl3ri2a
控制室裡放置了兩部超級電腦，三個技術員並排而坐，各自負責監控不同的數據，實時將資料傳送回去總部，確保沒有任何異常。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y3OfZxTxD
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsWUuNqjfN
周諾寧敲了敲中間那人的椅子，「能給他設定最低難度的模式嗎？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kCGRmolTE
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W0z4nyhwY
「我們設定了全自動系統，訓練模式全由電腦按照測驗結果選擇。」坐在中間的技術員是這次模擬訓練的總負責人，主要負責所有解說工作。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFLVRjqzAm
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p9ibrCmUw
「上次你不是直接設定了最高難度的？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrOYIboh5M
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8iWUzlucu
「這次上總下達指令，絕對不能啟用手動功能。」他直白地向周諾寧說明，「以免周總公器私用。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33dnM3gvMn
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaNaiRCYRD
周諾寧捏緊指腹，狠狠地睨著機器下方的企業標誌。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYX4eSRuu0
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHpGwxXEXk
姓上官的⋯⋯她遲早要他好看。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjGQRsIzx6
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTyxe2hNl8
「不過上總也交代，因為這次是給一般人做的實驗，最高只開放第三階段的訓練模式。」技術員遲了幾秒才補充。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS9jauGMgj
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTxUMRvz6O
周諾寧一個冷眼掃過去，「早這麼說就行了。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhvCqKnZ9u
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeXM82bydY
她親身去模擬測試時，體驗過最高階的六星訓練，知道沒有一定的軍訓經驗，是絕對不可能承受得住。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1ecRkz4KF
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAHm1iTw5g
但以南翠球員的膽小程度來說，她不用看電腦也知道他們沒幾個能到第二階段。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI54d03V4ja
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOV4wP7nby
本來她預計帶著司徒辰進去，至少也能到第四階段，到時候就能看到這個男人黏緊她不放的有趣模樣，順帶補足這段期間沒能獨處的時光。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tQ5LNyswY
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiU3LE1XoH
誰知道這男人居然這麼固執，都安排好一切到了門前，還是不肯跟她公器私用。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxFZvlmEtc
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaZJvZtiNP
威脅不行，恐嚇不行，生氣也不行。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtu7r80Wfa
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnJWKzUQzE
「不過對一般人來說，第三階段也有機會造成精神損傷，所以我們也會密切留意訓練情況。」技術員說，「但今天電腦暫時未有判定任何人適合進行第三階段的測試。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFcjpnYdCl
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfwFyURgMU
周諾寧的視線回到畫面，紅外線鏡頭切換到經過改裝的活動室，幾部藏在天花板的三維打印機開始快速起動，地上的物件逐漸成形，等到男人站在起始點，仿照工廠打造的空間已經完成，白色的氣體慢慢洩入。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwcErzENYH
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKgy1le1Ef
周諾寧眉角輕皺，「這是第幾階段？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPeZBB4XvM
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWMR6rqtRl
「第二階段。」技術員一邊觀察數據，一邊給周諾寧解釋，「除了利用恐懼擾亂感官，也會透過環境轉換增加大腦的混亂程度。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuWNyLqHQH
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLHueWzlSB
周諾寧挑眉，「他不到第三階段？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdWpJyBMpe
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbayGzp0us
看來一個人進去，這男人還是蠻害怕的。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsU8MpYEPo
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdJzgNYqsk
技術員聳肩，似是覺得很平常，「大部分新兵也只是剛好能夠達到第三階段的要求，以這位參加者來說，他的承受程度已經很接近第三階段，是今天所有參加者中數值最高的了。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UQtiaEzjy
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULYQArP9uV
那也不算太差。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMYVHPNlnr
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUcfrGGXpE
此時砰的一聲，畫面裡男人被一股機器發出的衝力撞飛在地上，剛才的白色氣體變濃，螢幕右上方的溫度不斷上升，男人艱難地咳嗽著爬起來。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt85R77n4FN
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebMUA4Hf5H
周諾寧臉色一繃。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHiCP5YR5h
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3PJh5V6Ff
「第二階段就有爆破？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovcdNZBspi
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxhJnVtWDA
技術員很冷靜地輸入程式碼，「本來應該只會起火，有機會是氣體洩出所產生的異常，我們正在了解是哪裡出現了問題。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKlKJIljfq
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfe0Ajuzev
她看向顯示虛擬實境的螢幕上，男人的四周燃起大火，視野閃爍模糊，但實際上他身處的環境根本沒有起火，只是溫度和聲音再加上逼真的畫面，讓他產生了錯覺。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sfSeWazzn
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkJRe3mnRH
周諾寧咬牙，已經恨不得把那個男人帶出來了。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jObVYQLUe
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOFRelWbA1
「過了多久？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWblz3AMs2U
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNeT6q2LHu
「不到五分鐘。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhVPfjYTAC
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN22wUzMhWP
才不到五分鐘⋯⋯就是說司徒辰不是在大火下繼續被折磨像六年般漫長的六分鐘，熬到系統自動結束訓練，就是要打起精神趕快找到出口離開。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG32GfPAHqP
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDcVrLtNhq
她看著男人跌坐在地上，縮成一團猛烈咳嗽的身影，不由得後悔自己沒有跟著進去，更後悔為了跟他獨處而借來這麼一套爛東西。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTo04w89UW
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G3ck6SpqJ
她知道他撐得過去，也知道他不會那麼輕易放棄，但她寧願自己能陪著他痛，甚至代他受苦。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT1eqZV0ws
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3z5Pnk98x
旁邊輔助的技術員低聲報告了一句，中間的技術員看了螢幕一眼，敲打鍵盤的速度突然加快，不斷向兩邊下達指令，三人的神色都變得嚴肅凝重。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGFn9xip6X
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVehwYTlcIr
周諾寧眉頭一擰，厲聲詢問，「甚麼情況？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mF7NvWwhY
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIF6oHp1KL
技術員一邊快速敲打一邊說明，「電腦偵測到參加者的意識有脫離虛擬實境的跡象，突然自行將測試提升到第三階段，之前沒有發生過這種情況⋯⋯」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeafqlwznsS
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7iRWl0DPQ
周諾寧怒了，「說重點！」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ACWfxzQtg
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oyLH8RNge
「電腦在煙霧裡混合了微量的CS催淚性氣體⋯⋯」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoOuZiSJTZ
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzByfYTK2vg
「CS氣體？在一般人的訓練裡你放CS氣體？你們上總就是這麼吩咐的！」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieoqVGDV2c
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrLVgR1vGs
「我們為了安全起見，一開始已經關掉了CS氣體，但電腦自行重啓功能⋯⋯」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ67o957BK9
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2o4rv7MlN
「那就給他指示找到防毒面罩的位置！」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9nDBygIH0
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjJM6hQIM7
「現在實境依照第二階段打造，系統沒有製作防毒面罩⋯⋯」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0M0tOsIdY
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMUBaHFlJH
周諾寧怒然扯起技術員的衣領，眼底一片猩紅，「那就馬上關掉系統！」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHoRUUIOUj
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sUhEyUIsG
「很抱歉我不能這麼做！」技術員堅決拒絕，「柏修斯比一般的虛擬實境更真實，如果突然切斷，會造成嚴重的虛實錯亂，這對參加者的大腦神經損傷極大！而且階段越高，創傷就越大，必須要由電腦逐步將虛擬實境融合現實後再結束才最安全！」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sSi1QiXyF
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JMVLaCR11
「那就讓電腦馬上開始融合現實！」周諾寧將技術員整個人提起。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BlEub06qM
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZDhSn8Yv5
技術員腳尖離地晃動，衣領勒住喉嚨呼吸困難，但仍很堅決，「第三階段剛剛啟動⋯⋯要確保參加者的心智安全⋯⋯前後至少需要六分鐘的緩衝時間⋯⋯咳咳咳⋯⋯」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4rr4JWFkW
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2uRdNkEca
「所以他還得吸六分鐘的毒氣？」周諾寧滿身殺氣，幾乎想把這技術員宰掉。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gNvOo8u8Z
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5Nn2d7lBC
旁邊的技術員看總技術員已經臉漲紅得透不過氣，急忙開口，「周總！我們可以馬上啟動三維打印系統，三十秒就能製作好防毒面罩，現在只要徐技術員的權限確認就可以了！」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pdJMeoTUF
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfpWkelL0U
徐技術員就是正被周諾寧吊在半空的高瘦男人。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HMBVmoCiU
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQRmeOZhHe
周諾寧眼底深沉，一身低氣壓，捏緊他的衣領，突然猛地鬆手。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwzSzmsRYX
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7zquQPcOB
總技術員跌在地上，大口扯著氣息撫摸著脖子。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKo9a65D3D
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmcwj7kMFT
周諾寧往下睨著他，「記著，要是裡面那男人有甚麼事，你會比現在痛苦一百倍。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7qG8C1Gdf
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAV2DC3lsS
另外兩個技術員趕忙扶起那個姓徐的技術員，他臉色因為缺氧有點蒼白，但沒有半點退縮之意，「請周總放心⋯⋯作為盡責的開發人員，我會盡全力確保所有使用者的安危。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQyRrjYf3v
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6lHoBOudK
然後他便坐回自己的位置，帶著顯白的臉繼續指揮其他技術員工作。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JDPHaqv2w
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5HdJPgXmj
周諾寧的胸腔裡怒氣翻滾，卻又知道此刻只有技術人員最清楚裡面的狀況，也只有他們知道用甚麼方法，能安全地把司徒辰從仿真的世界中帶出來。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4SBlnOKUY
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTY0ALGfQL
而她只能坐以待斃，眼白白看著那男人吸入氣體後咳嗽加劇，眼角冒出淚花，漸漸被混濁的煙氣支配意識，無力往旁邊一倒。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvvd0Qu38a
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWhoxV2tqb
周諾寧強壓著要爆發氣息撥出電話。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzr4DhYFsN
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYBIwXruvv
接起電話的男人語調儒雅，帶著輕鬆，「怎麼樣？我的得意之作，還過得去嗎？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5zmCQ2zZB
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX5OoCN15s
「你的得意之作，」周諾寧忿怒低吼，沒心情跟他開玩笑。「現在打算用CS氣體毒殺我男人。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNbXIq1PMv
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaU3PNDMkM
對頭明顯一頓，轉換了持話筒的姿勢，但語調依舊很淡定，「放心，我的柏修斯就像上帝，不會給予人類他們無法承受的考驗。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31hhNM8MmQ
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRVsiViAC2
柏修斯是希臘神話中代表責任和信譽的戰士，無論面對多強大的敵人仍會堅毅不屈戰鬥到底，即使對手可能只是自己。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauubOHh0Ea
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOQfOel78M
就像在虛擬的實境裡，是自己內心的恐懼和軟弱製造了恐慌，理智一時忘了一切都是建構出來的世界，逐漸相信虛假才是真實。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0kYJklxI7
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv82FDirOq
「神提出挑戰，是因為對人有信念。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdvnQQvUbI
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnhNIIikMp
意志足夠強大，就不會被恐懼淹沒。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG993HNdjz
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLgHnJDnBi
要鬥爭的對手，其實從來只有自己。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2aCcKuYuM
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Cw2bNpV3R
周諾寧看向螢幕，神色仍舊深沉，那股不安仍在翻騰。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLZtAGTfHK
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmkz54L65k
倒在地上的男人像是失去了意識一動不動，任由毒氣蠶食他的身體。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mqxNq3PLu
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tM2qwTZyb
仔細地看，才會發現畫面裡很緩慢地出現了男人伸出的指尖，在塵土中抓緊地面，一下下拖行著身子，朝剛才不遠處的出發點匍匐前進。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qvdCVRnJS
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23zWHz6yNB
她銳利的眼眸眯成直線，盯著那隻手費盡力量攥住毛巾，再顫著手擰開水瓶，水柱落入乾爽柔軟的毛巾面料，沖散白煙裊裊的迷霧空間。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgxkLEhi7O
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHj48G5pP1
她握緊手機，眼底落了幾分驕傲的色澤。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FKz3j26n2
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPLUtqyDeG
「也對，我的男人，確實值得神給予挑戰。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEptEQZAda
