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！」174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqy8ltGMVp
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisikxXCGOW
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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLqUOdHKlQ
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBGve2WLff
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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUxSBIGZ5N
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFDqL2V36l
「把手上的劍丟掉！」174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQwrPJag74
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC5FwLh3FY
風不語，只是冷冷地盯著他。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqZhxZFRyC
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6B9zmKZEY
「如果你不想讓他死的話，就把劍丟到地上！」174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ODMmQTr1m
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FhsniMojN
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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2Sh9bbbVK
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HGN4O37OG
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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHdHqc7DGe
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbhJMPE6Sy
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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1YoDEmai3
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59abgFbsff
「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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBAHDQbC30
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5chfjX7TWW
風緊咬著牙，握劍的力道在緊與鬆之間躊躇著。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8dgrr9Lbi
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin3a1BJrMJ
現在到底該怎麼做才好…174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXSbc8ey3B
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeT4hVPpqJ
「放…」174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBagbWkcec
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMJUrhmgFB
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。」174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUdNqFM2SH
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX71C5jJAXM
「少囉唆！小心我殺了你。」威米堤凶狠地瞪著小男孩。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVX7GbMyZK
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4aerZhSfP
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。」174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqgIZvurvX
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHG0ECUPrp
了解小男孩話中有話，風對他展露笑意，以表示了解。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeXLrMf86u
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwGJm5Uaq0
「你給我閉…」174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeXeUNJR0Z
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQicfonm2f1
「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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l009CCVtv
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZIP3sOn9D
「我真的要動手了！」174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZEqy0qhj6
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAgcRnibU7
「儘管動手。」風小心翼翼地一步一步逼近威米堤。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXexvn2LpT
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjgzv4BCyJ
「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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOGrYGvq3m
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LpVbz5tzO
風不理會他的話，故作冷漠的態度。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIhoZ1fGQj
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKFrnKK5F8
「不…不要過來…不要…」看到風不為所動，威米堤害怕地不斷斥退。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE9qElrpxV
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHbEFzihec
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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvUvt5jKGG
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKQx63pPQK
「痛…啊－－」174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhSAAqGi4r
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNcGm5nCKl
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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr0tgjnPz4
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniYjIklW2d
他哀號聲逐漸被猛獸的吼叫聲淹沒，不久，便沒了聲音。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEXibT2faL
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx7OqPP12h
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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4R33Uz4NA
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQBlnTXiDA
「如果會害怕，就轉頭過去。」174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdNBYo44JJ
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrq5oLiZSm
「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。」174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxfoZVOnSp
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLIjgGYvGO
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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQER5tuxof
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBucEmDR2j
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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAOcUWSiXK
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HdpTLh27o
看到他神色慌張，風好奇地問，「你怎麼了？」174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49oxaS2P7P
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYKbU6hVP5
「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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQTiNFya1V
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJrHFIxIsI
「你說吧！或許我可以幫你。」174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHCeCyKGcU
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOl1y8neyb
「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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtPXms0mZD
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5oIPUjl4K
風輕閉著眼，沒有多說什麼。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx40k888VL
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGHvoohrgj
「說的也是…對不起，為難你了。」174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg7mc4NRXZ
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLsgS4DtVZ
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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5td2yENwQ
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ358ae8iqmr
「啊－－」174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX1rr1lNGM
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoSQ1XBAFH
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…174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB057kwnGR9
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJOc8XhZ8K
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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFEzKpEULh
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8tCMuVJlV
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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYR3Mihjdt
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePLvx3pTl1
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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWzJcj12Ha
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTuMxlHRYs
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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4UQNEZ0JD
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VegJslpW8
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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvxpyl8VBg
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT5glj3SEE
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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT4kyxHIVe
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1bs98jX3S
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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXAzoF1LtQ
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQC0ZnmFdl
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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX5Oj5qLiU
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FkaQh4vdm
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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4htz6sRSDv
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC4msDbtyV
「太好了！幸好你平安無事，我好怕你會跟他們一樣…」174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaNckfvDDY
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuRVZfX4MY
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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c07aHqX22
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr6FPU2dYJ
不久，小男孩鬆開手，揉著眼睛、紅著臉抬頭苦笑著。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSw5vhYslY
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlEsSj4gRl
「對不起！我好像太激動了。」174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnhUfyY9Yf
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZx5SLEmAm
「沒關係。」174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHPVEOAUts
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb7uw0FC90
風掏出項鍊並攤在小男孩面前。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkHUuIeYuF
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljDjNolRC0
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。」174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEnC8GGPp8
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAAGRfMdrn
「原來如此。」174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrG8YyMJvW
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiXAX6zIXn
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…」174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHPWzZlKh0
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpoQt1iJAF
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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA99TSFGF8V
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSv8LZ5TWH
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qFCKJ4KA2
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…
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIRk7XbwAN
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnu0ZrQPJQ
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…
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBifBFJ1Iy
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjKE2sf7Mz
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…
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxqBjedu4Y
奇蹟…174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOdCkLVSY0
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg1oyZmBT3
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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S5NhndK1b
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KV6g8qpdV
如果不是風的出現，現在他早就被猛獸吞下肚…174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw9Rz6Ml5N
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AlzUTrzB5
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。」174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWQZOSUOMB
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67NoGJL09Q
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。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBc0PUZkg6
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLRxX1cvj1
突然，風感覺一陣天搖地動，幾乎快不能站立。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1Y9b8w9b3
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Nb6NYpqoE
「這是怎麼回事？」修司驚慌失措地四周張望。174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem1Uv8Cukz
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw086gkNVw
「難道…」
