華燈初上，魔都上海的夜景如珠寶盒般奪目耀眼，儘管致命疫病如影隨形，都會男女並未停止入夜後的娛樂，他們追尋感官刺激，藉此忘卻緊緊壓在身上的生活重擔，此間卻有另一群人――453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUfb2nZryM
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCDGZ9FYB5
他們追求的，是完全不同的物事。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb82GnM7xho

汪緯伸手從香檳塔上取過一杯 Moet香檳，晃了晃水晶杯，細緻的泡沫由杯底浮起。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyu0AVlBnZ

X酒店自去年開幕以來，憑藉炫麗的外觀和豪奢的消費型態，迅速成為外灘最火紅的去處。汪緯此刻正在酒店頂樓泳池畔，參加一場私人生日宴會，泳池四周閃耀五彩燈光，濕潤的空氣中迴盪悠揚的樂聲，衣著光鮮的賓客談笑風生。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMIV7EpV0P
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfGAF0Cstd
周圍賓客大多和他一樣，家族擁有取之不竭的財富，攫取世上任何事物都易如反掌，譬如此刻站在池畔向他微笑揮手的幾名新聞女主播，只要他勾勾手指，她們就會迫不及待地跳上他的床。太容易了。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTgDD4Z2uo
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkBQgpjZP2
容易到令人生膩。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL5aFNZVPg
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZbBBergF0
他想來點刺激的。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlvp5AcCPc
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFldngbqx5M
「想甚麼呢？」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8Bdghq87K
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMe6qkUyFs
汪緯回過頭，來者是他的損友路宗，他與路宗，還有另兩名頂端富二代，合稱魔都四少，當這稱呼出自特定媒體――例如娛樂版記者――總帶著幾分嘲諷。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ex6yjZMp5
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55oWAkg38a
「想這疫情真是令人鬱悶哪，」汪緯假裝不經意地問，「疫苗生產的進度如何？」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2geN0BWeqg
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx4NjeOfXl
路宗家族經營生技研發產業，與政府高層關係良好，常獲官方特許獨家生醫產線，不久前才研製出治療新型肺炎的疫苗，據傳短期內就會先為特權階級施打。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1k9GsCynQ
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSKLjMcCsW
「快了，剛完成境外三期臨床試驗，應該五月就會開始陸續供貨。」路宗瞇著眼睛，目光瞄向前方的巨型生日蛋糕塔，還有幾名不停互拍和自拍的女模。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCo6NHpZjx
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg0Jt2CO8z
「五月？挺快的，只要疫情平息，就能解除境管，」汪緯忍不住嘴角上揚，「外國的妞兒可有趣多了。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU50IBY0tJ
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oHdCgFWwl
「即使有了疫苗，未必就能抑止疫情。」路宗淡淡地說，臉上的笑容逐漸消退。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvtGxnQfVg
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ei4WQ5bsy
「怎麼說？莫非……」汪緯挑起雙眉，「境外勢力還有其他的陰謀。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt603ATo84
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6OodUUXEP
「別胡說！」路宗連忙摀住汪緯的嘴，警覺地向四周張望。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypbmeJWaTG
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIWUvaZPQu
汪緯的好奇心全給勾了起來，他從未見過路宗如此緊張，很不尋常，這下非得問到底不可。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlDeEFfV0n
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZir67I7gIv
「你要是知道甚麼不為人知的機密，好歹透露給自個兒兄弟，」汪緯鍥而不捨地追問，「這病毒是不是從實驗室外洩的？」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1RhRPHCgQ
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZomK1PKxx
「不是。」陸宗十分堅定地搖頭。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM25iTiJXW
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnypszB24aK
「那麼是美軍的生化武器？」汪緯追問，就是不肯讓好友忽悠過去。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DaB1YWgaW
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJQVBbdd6k
「我現在說的，」路宗嘆了口氣，「是國防等級的機密，絕不能對外洩露。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaeFFQovb9
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBocnOPtYS8
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYmNebVavz
路宗點上煙，深吸一口，緩緩吐出灰色的煙圈，把汪緯的沉默當作同意。
「你知道武漢的磨山吧？」路宗問。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSEHexCiXG
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeDinK8OiB
「魔山，出現過飛碟的地方？」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDwwVUkH8R
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXWQRkrGnO
磨山位於武漢市洪山區的東湖畔山北有座楚文化景區，但是最出名的還是關於飛碟的傳聞。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoF9uff2CF
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NhXFYPNsr
當地人口耳相傳，在 1999 年 6 月，一團白雲自東湖升起，迅速移至山坳，700株大樹或被連根拔起，或被攔腰折斷，共有兩公頃林地遭毀。期間有人目擊三枚飛碟在磨山上空盤桓，也有人看見外星有光照耀磨山，目擊者言之鑿鑿，說是外星來客摧毀山林，因此磨山又被戲稱為「魔山」。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ttDOrNdfb
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy4S43qJLQ
「這類傳聞總是眾說紛紜，當作茶餘飯後的閒話便是。」汪緯哼笑。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMog9gNmDnp
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh9ZOnDuTx
路宗一臉嚴肅，「疫情開始前，曾有人在磨山看見不尋常的景象，先是夜空出現強光，逼得人睜不開眼，待到視力恢復，幾個當地人冒險靠近現場，只見一具屍體橫躺在眼前。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A8ghLBRxV
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylRw3CezF6
「武漢公安局接獲報案，派員前去調查，死者是楚文化景區的巡邏員張某，當日排的夜班，死因是心臟麻痺，死時表情猙獰，像是受了極大的驚嚇。因為現場沒有任何外力襲擊的痕跡，判定是內因性暴卒。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvPObc97T2
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo3wReeLWl
「被外星生物嚇死的？所以，」汪緯語帶嘲諷，「肺炎病毒是外星人散布的？」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfxarXgnqH
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HyTFNOwfa
「別開玩笑，後來國際醫療組織到武漢去調查病毒的源頭，我司的公關部前去接待，還是高層單位特別下令監視他們。後來醫療組織不知怎的聽說了這事，透過關係，從家屬那兒拿到巡邏員的手機，該員在死前留下錄像……」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsD3OMqWyH
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK37gro0opr
「真拍到外星人了！」汪緯驚呼。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw0Mq21fsm
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYQbSKjgAx
「不……」路宗猛搖頭，「那錄像我看過，不知要如何形容，或說，是惡魔。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6brwFmIETk
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DUWtKvGeV
「甚麼？」汪緯不知該哭還是該笑。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHzreynsWy
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yUf1oD9jg
「巡邏員側錄，他在值夜時，天空突然出現奇異的藍光，於是他上前查看，」路宗猶豫片刻後說：「異相從天而降，一個黑影，騎著超乎常識的巨大白馬，黑影朝天展開雙手，口裡低語著：『sacrifice……redemptio……』隨即有數以萬計的蝙蝠憑空飛出，一時之間，連天空都被遮蔽……」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaIya6BTdR
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGLnuxa1fa
「有人在拍鬼怪電影吧？」汪緯打岔。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdBtLsx94i
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuytlpjLnW
「肺炎病毒的起源不就是蝙蝠？那群蝙蝠就是病毒的宿主！」路宗突然激動起來，「醫療組織派來的調查員中有人是天主教徒，他看完錄像當場下跪，口裡不停懺悔，他事後才說那黑影是天啟四騎士中的瘟疫，它將帶來疾病和死亡，sacrifice和redemptio，是拉丁文的犧牲和救贖，你還不懂嗎？要先有人犧牲，其他人才能獲得救贖，世界末日就要降臨了。」路宗一口氣說完。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5kn2s64gf
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrephzZefks
「呃，但也有可能是外國勢力的陰謀，刻意要在國內引起恐慌。」汪緯才不相信這等悖離常理之事，他往周圍望了望，要是有人聽見這段話，肯定當他們是神經病。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ6QJwFBvz
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aNCPdGD7T
幸好眾人都耽於眼前逸樂，沒人側聽兩人對話。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyBVjzuzZQ
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqPYO83r6U
路宗深呼吸了幾回，一口乾掉杯裡的香檳，情緒逐漸平穩。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4YN8astE8
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBJtyuJjMd
「若世界末日要來了，不更應該即時行樂嗎？呵呵，」汪緯乾笑幾聲，「恐怖故事用來嚇妞兒肯定管用。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaysXTxCLBr
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpkSasMEmX
悠揚的樂聲驀然響起。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2XGLprhnZ
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNvahJ4LwN
四周迴盪著生日快樂歌的旋律。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfXkzEfihS
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmTcIS31DW
汪緯與路宗兩人也跟著唱和，他們和宴會的主人算不上有甚麼深情厚誼，來赴宴不過是為了打發另一個無聊的夜晚。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04D9TTsxrd
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhkX354bKT
「Happy Birthday。」賓客高聲歡呼，一同舉杯慶賀。壽星愉快地乾杯，一一接受賓客們的祝福。樂手奏起輕快的舞曲，男女相擁著翩翩起舞，端了 Dom Perignon香檳和切片蛋糕的服務生穿梭來去，無論是病毒或是他國陰謀，都不足以影響此時氛圍。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBS5WZCtxv
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaez02Shiz
「路少，要不要游泳？」池邊一群二線女星對著路宗揮手。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4Z0ZKW5hT
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Lblnd3iHh
「好，我馬上就來！」路宗瞬間恢復平日瀟灑倜儻的模樣。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f9SloMrJH
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ5T91zQvC
神色轉換如此迅速，有時汪緯懷疑，眾人光鮮亮麗的皮囊底下，包裹著怎樣的靈魂？453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbfHjIna5z
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8mYCg2SxC
他想起了聊齋故事中的「畫皮」，披著人形的怪物就混雜在人群中，難辨真假。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTesiQe0Xh
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJPm8GbbVC
池畔賓客正高聲談笑，渾然忘我之際，突然有人被推進泳池，水花四濺，女人全都像母雞一般咯咯傻笑。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hLDcSVxWc
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL5O9CtuHV
沒錯。汪緯心想。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQLnMIZRr0

大多數人都是行屍走肉的蠢蛋。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdRtlviLMb
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPcL4ekQla
「別說我不夠朋友，」不知何時，路宗悄悄挨近，並順手將裝有不明錠劑的藥袋塞進汪緯口袋裡，在他耳邊低聲說道：「新玩意兒，加在飲料裡，妞兒喝下以後，三分鐘內不省人事，醒來時，記憶一片空白，被誰睡過都不曉得，完事後只需拍拍屁股走人，不用面對哭哭啼啼的女人。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcoonnoYpH
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZkqMy5VTX
汪緯瞪大眼睛看著他，說到尋樂，路宗真是方方面面都能操辦妥當。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1syKh1oWl
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ySVoBgVS1
「好好玩兒。」路宗揮了揮手，逕自向池邊那群美女走去。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeIo1CjhNd
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjWMvgLdbR
汪緯在原地停頓，環顧四周，穿著華服男男女女就像求偶季的孔雀一般，忙著展示自己羽毛。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EqpXIgyZq
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DGGt81n4t
真是無趣。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytQvI3T8t5

他想狩獵，自行送上門的獵物怎能滿足獵人的渴望？453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d9cmH1SkN

不如往別處碰碰運氣。
