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！」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3JYjLry74
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxAjd5L9gC
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxaUfTOuGX
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrEIYJlVqE
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVCSc7vM3N
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTSfEqjGPf
「把手上的劍丟掉！」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoNJXD6S20
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VvKHMMhSI
風不語，只是冷冷地盯著他。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1LN3Du5FD
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0szAQqUQfR
「如果你不想讓他死的話，就把劍丟到地上！」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3zvxOeoYG
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj7g9vIi9X
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMOWGl093g
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURfj8dD6LI
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67M4VUkQTs
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJVAy0El2o
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQP9yS6kFH
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgFFEj8wzE
「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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4EaJ0E65a
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BtjGIlvYA
風緊咬著牙，握劍的力道在緊與鬆之間躊躇著。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACn8atGjTS
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkUboHoVms
現在到底該怎麼做才好…157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r6O1LQO8c
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpV0fOOtEW
「放…」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Udrf8R2a9
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvna9kGIbfj
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。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIs0JYmYlE
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeyripU4CA
「少囉唆！小心我殺了你。」威米堤凶狠地瞪著小男孩。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0rqg9wLAc
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo70y6dPWu
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。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DKKAyJ9Bf
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwGJaLMDmw
了解小男孩話中有話，風對他展露笑意，以表示了解。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp78YgB2Tym
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2djxpJagS
「你給我閉…」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cHAnPvlqz
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVgvEg4CpB
「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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2KkMJmLY9
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FObEpAVJA
「我真的要動手了！」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRLC78QBDa
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg19Ef3Z94y
「儘管動手。」風小心翼翼地一步一步逼近威米堤。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AXvxFEiBn
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBAE09LaIo
「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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3aQFnXi1H
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl9KntSUF5
風不理會他的話，故作冷漠的態度。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohT4LeiBZb
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri21Sq5Ghi
「不…不要過來…不要…」看到風不為所動，威米堤害怕地不斷斥退。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gVRDotzMA
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV03nfGZYf
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmtESygiqa
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6vufCPsW3
「痛…啊－－」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBGklUNFzL
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5C4Bcrkop
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAK8nevLwO
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwroSuPGMrM
他哀號聲逐漸被猛獸的吼叫聲淹沒，不久，便沒了聲音。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPirbN1Uob
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnq4BTaXUe
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGEnYurJac
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SSO8NWRlo
「如果會害怕，就轉頭過去。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNhChZqmkL
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5DSavdN1m
「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。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CstqFlR0n
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt7UQAZJU5
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqYfLo7Rjf
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x9YjyG2OW
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QIi6iLFP1
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkqfX6R1YZ
看到他神色慌張，風好奇地問，「你怎麼了？」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23QHdjIg4l
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj88jZu0Brt
「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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoPlhIC0NM
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGQgNXOFya
「你說吧！或許我可以幫你。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkNYoDKjg5
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuEFgUcALE
「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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCgDxoNicp
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7tfXQnMcu
風輕閉著眼，沒有多說什麼。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKiPt3ZV5y
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGMx3siOYk
「說的也是…對不起，為難你了。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIM6WmGx9R
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P5sHD9cMa
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqbl80Mfno
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZILmQgJw9
「啊－－」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKuyv1Mag5
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjelaI1M8PO
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…157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus3GpG28ZK
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPFy1n3fCJ
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIm3tmSmnJ
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg0Qzx6y1r
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT4d6JrhSx
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0KP428Jmc
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQq3OG2O3y
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98Y9VAXhoq
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ7cLwEZtU
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDxvZlrjnJ
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfvpYv6wh3
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenvUoLRtJZ
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pojMBVIz9
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kquRBmxM6
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWlacOCNfm
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGzNHTVnbu
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dVOEzJ1Q5
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xWmtIkrws
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrcmLASpvD
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gK1tYRru1
「太好了！幸好你平安無事，我好怕你會跟他們一樣…」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82Hkt6jlIe
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgLYVl3ZhY
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbXi4PFHst
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAD6Zbm1n4
不久，小男孩鬆開手，揉著眼睛、紅著臉抬頭苦笑著。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnvotn9G3a
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1awAEKgv1
「對不起！我好像太激動了。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWCny1G2MF
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlmj7jgH59
「沒關係。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pzZ1wUEQV
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGNxqblOce
風掏出項鍊並攤在小男孩面前。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpClEnecjOm
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqumuRqU2B
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。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26aa3hq40D
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0qFjwF9wT
「原來如此。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqbZehBc2a
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1MAsbFyEQ
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…」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QcWCIsC0D
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMcJM7QGxW
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7dbwjV7el
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zmSSoyy1R
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5IU5ccAs6
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…
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT0YZyMbe1
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z3cS0yJPG
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…
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWu3jUW2oF
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8iO7JK8f7
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…
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrdA9JgliO
奇蹟…157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq31t95JUiE
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0AWD7Uh75
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzKHuAYXii
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA7Azxwnan
如果不是風的出現，現在他早就被猛獸吞下肚…157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb2lhRYjn9
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ3w97kW0V
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。」157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxWA36Pqtf
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFG0gPdepj
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。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlXsddOOk8
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQeYB17NbU
突然，風感覺一陣天搖地動，幾乎快不能站立。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCCpYbuXxF
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtahnw4Y8Xk
「這是怎麼回事？」修司驚慌失措地四周張望。157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyye8orWroF
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3gGk1t8k7
「難道…」
