將目光轉回到威米堤身上，風提起劍，做出攻擊的姿勢，「接下來，該你了！」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCoCnwf5o6
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTScEBIfca
威米堤驚恐地東張西望。身邊已經沒人可以阻擋風，偏偏離他較近的護衛全在外頭，想到這，臉色不自覺鐵青起來。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34r4SBm037
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzVPFnAiCj
突然，威米堤瞄到平台上的小男孩，一股念頭油然而生，既然橫豎都是死，不如就將計就計。隨即衝向前，並將藏在衣袖裡的小刀架在小男孩的頸脖上。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuUTBFcWI8
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv47jSPBpSr
「把手上的劍丟掉！」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGddBqTkqyO
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUJ8c1vK6t
風不語，只是冷冷地盯著他。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcGQ9QLqvq
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMCJaCukbn
「如果你不想讓他死的話，就把劍丟到地上！」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJJ6Xf75m1
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvSTfwZwhJ
緊握手中的劍，風心裡十分猶豫。倘若讓他逃出去救援，自己是無法對其他人下手。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMK4h6U5MU
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl8MwYk000
據童年的記憶，這裡的衛兵跟奴隸絕大部分都是威米堤擄回來的。長相好的，不是被賣掉，要不就是留在城內當奴婢；體格好的，就指派為衛兵；至於瘦弱又長相不起眼的，就成為階下囚的奴隸。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmNlQs2EHB
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcFKMQbkXf
即使有血緣關係的親人，也會因為階級不同，過著天差地別的生活，倘若替對方求情，求情者與被求情者都會被威米堤無情殺害。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCOprOBk4r
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcIRmXVwvL
「再不把劍放下，就別怪我不客氣…」威米堤往小男孩的脖子輕劃一刀，火紅的鮮血立刻流出。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeytC9drlLu
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB859abfwMu
風緊咬著牙，握劍的力道在緊與鬆之間躊躇著。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6Bb3i7y9q
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2BeXpLtoY
現在到底該怎麼做才好…140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qsxRaSEVv
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWvAi39Xdz
「放…」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOlYP7OYvc
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS3z67B3Uq
小男孩猛然大喊，硬是壓過威米堤的聲音，「我跟他毫不相干，就算你殺了我，他也不會覺得怎樣。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpUACRy2bh
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs95rVtMzjR
「少囉唆！小心我殺了你。」威米堤凶狠地瞪著小男孩。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZgJsfp0Ld
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHGFZ7kULR
小男孩幾度向風眨眼暗示，「你要逃－－最好趁現在，否則在你殺了我之後，他馬上就會就衝上來殺你。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvs8UBa52e
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuGxOx3vnr
了解小男孩話中有話，風對他展露笑意，以表示了解。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Kc55TNgTo
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5udXjLfhQg
「你給我閉…」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuDsShIhRc
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhmFp5bn9R
「沒錯！就算他“死掉”…也跟我無關。」風故意加重語氣，嚴肅的神情，再加上不夾任何情感的口吻，讓人有所畏懼。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhWxFDSHyI
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG6e8h5Ikr
「我真的要動手了！」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqGy5dzKjA
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHFQqgac19
「儘管動手。」風小心翼翼地一步一步逼近威米堤。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1MJV4bzeY
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7RCsRWXcw
「你不要過來！否則我真的殺了他！」威米堤慌了，舉起小刀往風的方向亂揮亂砍。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFfuPtJHs5
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceFniCGNp3
風不理會他的話，故作冷漠的態度。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPFuduQ83V
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSlih5YcQx
「不…不要過來…不要…」看到風不為所動，威米堤害怕地不斷斥退。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc63FQjTWI
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yv2YZGZWT
風不斷往前進，逼得威米堤一腳跨出平台外，底下的猛獸吼叫聲隨之傳來。眼看機不可失，小男孩猛然咬住威米堤的手。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG2UeyPS3W
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tmvouIYRS
「痛…啊－－」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloWDkoU8no
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCvmJ3lTuO
被這一咬，威米堤一個重心不穩，整個人跌落直下。掉落的同時，幾隻猛獸早已爭先恐後地張大嘴巴，好隨時準備享用食物。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbvISVYAgY
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5tGJjDgdc
他哀號聲逐漸被猛獸的吼叫聲淹沒，不久，便沒了聲音。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQmRFbipd0
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u5nmfNHUm
對於這種血腥畫面，風早已麻痺，甚至是平常不過之事。看到身旁的小男孩，弱小的身軀不斷顫抖。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNihQAbEEH
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAVRlf7K44
「如果會害怕，就轉頭過去。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3PMxTA0Vq
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuCxmUW2HP
「我不要緊…」小男孩別過頭，笑容中夾雜著悲傷，「這種畫面我已經看過好幾遍，我的同伴全都被威米堤這樣處決。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDjs2jOeQb
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwnAYfB1jn
放眼望去，底下遍地屍骨，風明白地閉上眼。所有人就如同威米堤那般，被猛獸咬扯、撕裂、啃食，任憑誰都會難過。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGUoeIhORH
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHcyRSFKPc
突然，一條銀製項鍊，從威米堤身上掉出，在彈跳幾下後，落在前方不遠處。小男孩睜大雙眼，忐忑不安的情緒全寫在臉上。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPM9W7YZLh
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdLxsdZFAS
看到他神色慌張，風好奇地問，「你怎麼了？」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmD1xcFxRK
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IQts00jRR
「這個…我…」小男孩想拿回項鍊，但底下猛獸凶狠，絕對是必死無疑。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8HmPvQTan
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVLKFFTSey
「你說吧！或許我可以幫你。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElC204X4Vw
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9fb4AbUHn
「我想要回那條項鍊…」小男孩囁嚅地開口，手指顫抖地指向前方的光點，畢竟想拿回來簡直是天方夜譚。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2uBbmGI9S
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg37mNcBu3k
風輕閉著眼，沒有多說什麼。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKRL1WJTvS
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZmybpus8B
「說的也是…對不起，為難你了。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5avoFw42c
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPYY7oHCDl
就在小男孩垂頭喪氣時，風猛然睜開雙眼，想也不想地跳下猛獸群中。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbhzVX7il0
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpa4Ch9JA4
「啊－－」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Amkj4vOpb
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hgNPwzpYL
這個舉動嚇壞了小男孩。他什麼都沒問，就這樣奮不顧身地跳下，況且彼此還是不認識的陌生人…140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OmrEYGbC0
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEzFsMrqA1
所有猛獸看見有人跳下來，各各是爭先恐後地張大嘴巴。牠們擁有獅子的外型，除了頭部，其餘全長滿了刺；擁有一尺長的獠牙，張大嘴巴時，足以吞食一個人。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNW2sOzPP2
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMoBszwQv5
風拔起劍，雙手一握，筆直地刺穿猛獸的嘴巴，隨即左手壓住牠的頭部，輕盈俐落地翻身往後跳，接著右手順勢刺中旁邊猛獸的上顎。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIyiunTyTF
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTBMhMsL1j
所有猛獸看到同伴倒下，全都壓低身體往後退，發出共鳴的低吼聲，看著風挺直著背脊，瀏海底下那雙凌厲的眼，散發出不可小覷的氣勢，誰也沒勇氣敢踏入他的領域。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFplg6IVY8x
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcht23x0Ouq
望著被嚇壞的猛獸，風明瞭牠們絕對是不會再出手，就大膽地邁步而出，往亮點的方向走去，所有猛獸見到，紛紛退到一旁，與風保持一段距離。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5EdpCQ2Kz
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4XrS2f7TJ
走近亮點，風撿起項鍊，略看了一會。純銀的材質，外型比銀幣還要大上三、四倍，中央鑲嵌著藍寶石，周圍雕刻一些複雜的花紋。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT32qs0RhGH
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42wAzKDKoA
看到最後，風赫然驚覺，但立刻收起詫異的神情，將項鍊收起來。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsnSsNFfTQ
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdHPhzoEEm
風環繞四周，找出逃離這裡的辦法，只是，除了高聳的石牆，就沒其他工具可利用，可見當初設計這座高牆時，就沒想過讓人有機會逃出去。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy92Dh71n3a
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2vialSWP2
再度仔細觀察，這回，風注視到高牆上堆疊的石塊凹凸不平，利用這些特色，攀爬石塊而上。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvYIEctwCQ
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgDtpMgXjj
才剛站好，小男孩就毫無預警地衝向前抱住風，顫抖的身軀，像是哭泣又像是害怕。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgKljK54WG
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA5uwdpvHb
「太好了！幸好你平安無事，我好怕你會跟他們一樣…」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRAcwC8vkX
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRj3GC8Yfk
被這麼擁抱，風有些愣住，看著他弱小的身軀，總算明白為何要幫助他，因為他們的遭遇是如此相像，也渴望被救。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAbFAktA6y
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1t0WsQnxi
不久，小男孩鬆開手，揉著眼睛、紅著臉抬頭苦笑著。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfar4TwpK2
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiueTXjn2i
「對不起！我好像太激動了。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMcvFNkL2p
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG2jwIsgFT
「沒關係。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkTdBNLpwv
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra2nNZMOZr
風掏出項鍊並攤在小男孩面前。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaUi56pTEj
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FswCA2pHO
一看到項鍊，小男孩激動地將項鍊收進懷裡，隨後眼神空洞，緩緩地說著，「當我還是襁褓中的嬰孩時，就被威米堤擄到這裡，並讓我由里特阿姨扶養。里特阿姨曾告訴我，這條項鍊原本是戴在我身上，但威米堤認為價值不凡就將項鍊拿走…所以這是我找尋親生父母的唯一信物。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LyuXMy4cY
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8JpCdByU4
「原來如此。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9fnSj1DdI
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukPoLPuDrK
小男孩攤開手，看著手中的項鍊，喃喃地說著，「原本…我是想跟隨里特阿姨死去…」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY52DsCnLJ
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5awkdCZ2p
小男孩閉上雙眼，仰天回憶著里特阿姨，她每次總是面帶笑容對他說話。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAo6J5B3Hy
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1F6rq58nO6
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumh8aE1fTS
不要替我難過了，每個人總有一天都會離開這個世界，如果我就這麼死掉，那也是我的盡頭…
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rdUaccAdX
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN14t2vY4Y
修司，我心愛的兒子，扶養你…我真的很幸福，我不希望你連自己的幸福都還沒得到，就這樣走到盡頭…
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHOkCfsuZ1
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoTpsgNRhG
你要好好的活著，要相信！越是有活下去的意念，奇蹟越會在你身上發生…
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy4pqksRAa
奇蹟…140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOgfwXwbHP
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyISWpk3Ha
修司奮力睜開眼睛，抬頭望著風，他的髮色與里特阿姨有些相似，宛如溫柔照耀世界的太陽。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VvlJcqemk
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBGGiiXHTE
如果不是風的出現，現在他早就被猛獸吞下肚…140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK5UHRtjow
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpFq41Y1Y2
望著所有骸骨，修司雙手緊握成拳，小聲地唸著，「里特阿姨，以及所有的同伴，我會連同你們的份一起活下去。」140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX3hf0zPaD
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIw94rl2O8
風雖然聽不見他在說什麼，不過從他眼神看得出，有著非比尋常的堅定意志。風微微地低著頭，讓瀏海遮住雙目，嘴角露出淡淡的笑容。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAKQdGykQZ
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9s2YfdejS
突然，風感覺一陣天搖地動，幾乎快不能站立。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnyghJv3Ax
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuJLKcs6WJ
「這是怎麼回事？」修司驚慌失措地四周張望。140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA3Hm4Pwd9
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4Vu0Ignn2
「難道…」
