　　跟著小小一聲噗通，掉入了水裡。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAUU2ViABB
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0fS9PnhRs
　　紅色小鬥魚回到了熟悉的環境，牠愣了一下，晃了晃頭，在盛滿的陶瓷湯碗中若無其事地遊了一圈。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoZDZBZU6b
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVtHiEjxct
　　直到看見這一幕後，小卷才終於鬆了口氣。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtija9p5rm
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhyNgZgQ36
　　她癱倒在書桌上，身後是跟著她從街上一路回到房間裡的雨水痕跡，她全身濕透，此時還大把大把地滴著水珠。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnXBjX6fRz
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFFarMPbqQ
　　但她已經沒有力氣了，連雙手手指上那些大大小小的割裂傷口都沒有餘力處理。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqTSTkTWHi
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNeLje7bro
　　當聽見魚缸破碎的聲響後，她什麼也沒多想，就在一地的碎玻璃中將小魚徒手翻了出來，幸好還隔著一層塑膠袋，雖然因從高處摔落所以也已經爆炸開來，但魚隻本身並沒有受到直接的傷害。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaZ6rIOPfG
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg2z5edztA
　　她流淌著滿手的血水，仔細地把所有碎屑摘除後，才趕緊捧著小魚，跑回到家裡。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH3xmdq7Jp
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalb96K5YJr
　　雖然這一切，這隻幸運的小魚可能至今為止都還沒有意識到。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIWh3P2U8I
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftiehQKwxQ
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5spioIy1tx
　　小卷在桌面上趴了許久，在幾乎已經要昏睡過去之前，手機卻突然響起。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP8uDRnEUK
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6UUBPRmZb
　　驚醒了起來，她從口袋裡將泡著水的手機拿出，要接通時才發現，螢幕竟然已經壞了。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMmWnZnDc7
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaLE7yfsWq
　　沒有選擇，她只好先照著習慣往接通鍵該在的位置上按了下去。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BbwRumMkz
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNQPsF4Ond
　　「唔－－」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQaxL2JEtT
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3hn5IVe59
　　那瞬間，一聲貫耳震腦的巨響從另一端轟炸了過來。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwIRUAwyrC
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8a6JJdUYF
　　小卷趕緊鬆手，感覺被人拿鐵鎚重重地從頭頂上砸下，暈眩之中，她聽見手機掉落在地後轉成了嘟嘟聲，接著，便是餘力無存的沉默。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQplJIRUyz
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzL64DWs4l
　　她嘆了口吁，又倒了下去，而在直到幾乎闔眼之前，卻又被全身濕入皮膚底下的寒冷給刺醒過來。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lFfZYrOB2
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo3TGnFqXU
　　於是只好在耗弱的精神狀況下，發著顫抖，半蹲半跪地把自己的身體往浴室裡推進，每一步都像是被極地的冰風暴給掃過一遍。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYpifiMXTF
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKjE0tMsLX
　　衣服雖然濕透得黏附在身上，寒冷又難受，但她沒有先脫下，而是憑著本能直接進了浴缸裡。一轉開水，隨即沖下的冰冷卻與現在的體溫沒有相差太大，而甚至能因此徐緩地感受到逐漸的升溫加熱。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGmxtR4IXQ
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezRbshiICv
　　幸好並沒有煎熬太久，在身上沖淋的水溫成了一陣暖流。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLHqzo58YH
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8nUC38lvS
　　小卷她瘦弱的身子終於不再受折磨。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjQLA125o2
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtQV1md14F
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIysgWjvYaA
　　滾滾的蒸氣開始包覆住她，自浴缸中盈溢而出。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmgHCrpGn4
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1gb77TUxF
　　她抱著膝蓋坐在蓮蓬頭底下，原本蓬鬆的長髮狼狽地披覆在身上，衣物仍然緊貼著身子，但已經像是暖和的棉襖。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYENNX2LVxb
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk4hpMD3Uq
　　閉著眼，她冷靜了下來，恢復了點精神。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCvOx9ZSah
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQaHqyWMud
　　然後發現自己竟然有點想念在失落國度時的海潮。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHv7waEv8U
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVaF9uYrqY
　　那是種沁涼，卻令人安心與習慣的溫度。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX8HETItq1
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhGLEBXPOT
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fD595rLIo
　　但就她睜開眼後，才發現自己的胸前，那在舊船港碰觸愛里過後就一直隱約作痛的位置，發出湛藍色的光芒。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrjksjyfuy
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl8eftx2DC
　　那是一枚圖像文字，記憶猶新的那一幕在此時浮出了海面，在回安教會的小房間裡，身旁是明旭和黎恩牧師，而三人中間，是那份古老的手稿。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aB6OoxxlF
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlqZMPj4v7
　　而現在小卷發現，無論是回想中零碎的一瞬之間、或是胸前的這枚千真萬確，自己竟然全部都能夠看得懂。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfyBIFWqpl

　　「愛里，為什麼妳不願離乾燥的陸地遠去？為什麼仍要呼吸燙人的空氣？」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy4QpMC2ss
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3GnFiSGoi
　　當繆紗的聲音從愛里的世界永遠地消逝了以後，許久、許久，終於，又有人願意再和她說話。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA7sBObk2g
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXRT2sbzDV
　　但她沒有回應對方，一直都沒有。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnDoxnR7ec
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJgwrPqZ2m
　　她就只是抱著膝，彷彿過去一直以來蜷縮在牆角或被窩裡的模樣，任憑自己漂浮在沒有任何活物的回安鎮上空。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ku1JavRRU
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdKDG12PFj
　　天色依舊，即便時間不斷流動，在遙遠的海平面上，那道輕靈地彷彿縹緲幻境的陽光從未移動過照射的角度，就像第一次來到這裡時是一模一樣的光景，似乎時間在這永遠都會是凍結的狀態。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeTL92Fvnm
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIE8o6jl68
　　這裡的回安鎮很安靜，雖然佈滿海潮侵蝕的痕跡，但少了那些在過去以來時時刻刻折磨著她的吵鬧和驚嚇、聽不見人群的喧嘩、吆喝、討論、嘲笑，聽不見回安中學和車站的鐘聲。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3uHDv8Tg6
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqyBIBjj3Q
　　如果能一直如此地靜謐、能一直浸泡在深海之下，那麼這個世界，她願意待下去。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQgXG0rwTw
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah1tipb14n
　　只是就像小卷所說的那樣。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQMoLemDzm
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BtcSm7QKT
　　不，這裡並不是回安鎮。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqA0MdmVCb
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVAnm2Inkb
　　回安鎮也不是這裡。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWyEsZgDnP
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLIlM1GL9F
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSCLt6kv3p
　　「愛里，是什麼讓妳還眷戀著那個使妳受傷的世界？」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RvT2Rf8gt
　　103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO7jEMim0a
　　但對她自己而言，內心深處的渴望與真正該屬於自己的聲音，卻彷彿都沉沒在混濁的沼澤之中，無法辨識、無法理解、也讓人拒絕摸索。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmGljp37ep
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzeejM54S3
　　不過這道取代了繆紗，顯得更加古老且睿智的低語，在愛里的身旁從不停歇地環繞。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyA8GlTtwJ
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthGeDIMu3I
　　愛里總覺得她似乎已經看穿了自己、看見了泥底那顆遺落的寶石，卻因為不能理解而感到納悶。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRzrm8Mc7b
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnXUb1cwpm
　　「我不知道。」愛里終於回應了對方。「明明我已經什麼都沒有了，我沒有家人、沒有歸屬，現在連唯一的朋友都沒有了。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOZrpEs6HZ
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnEWYUzo8T
　　「但妳的內心仍然有份執念，那像漩渦一樣禁錮著妳。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweoBXDOooq
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDQfolP7de
　　「......是復仇嗎？是他們殺了繆紗，殺了我的朋友......」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgyI1OJuLX
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNMEmCQKoS
　　愛里想起了那一幕，當叉尖從陌生的人影手中直直朝著自己而來時，是繆紗張手擋在了她的面前，使貫穿身體的魚叉只得無奈地停下，在最後僅僅就只是劃開了腰間而已。傷口仍然疼痛，卻已經癒合，留下粗糙的疤痕。置身這片深海之中時，無論是身體或心靈上的創傷，一切都能夠被治癒、被撫去。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfPVMERhiy
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP5gXm0a4G
　　甚至是仇恨。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VlvFpRcuf
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xSxw1m3qo
　　「不，不是......」她說服了自己，並看向自己曾經染血的雙手。「我已經不想再傷害任何人了。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUOm8ZJoTy
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Uh2Mb3fQj
　　「任何一道傷口都是全新的，愛里。」低語在她面前，憑著海流逐漸成形。「不能取代誰、也不能被誰取代。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy4U9z0aFs
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJI9K83Swo
　　那輪廓相較於像是公主的繆紗來說，更容易讓人直接感受到彷彿如王后般的氣質。更加華美的鰭翼、更加優雅的儀態。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpCx8FQaqi
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ceB14u6OE
　　王后來到愛裡面前，俯下身，輕撫著她那悲傷的臉龐。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP2XAq4Fpt
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfAOWO3S14
　　「結痂的疤、淌血的創，無論是在海面哪一端，我們所受的傷已經太多、太多了。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv4YDAgMnx
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9PDnKmTnA
　　這一瞬間，底下的回安鎮突然成了一片火海。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iisMvESof
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCBf2Vtqyj
　　就如同昨日在夢中所見到的景象，而亦同的，愛里的手中也匯集了一把鑰匙，在他們的面前，更是出現了那一道透明的巨大拱門。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eDPv3h4iG
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15dpdMk5oa
　　接著，尖叫聲如沸騰的滾水般在一瞬之間轟漲了起來。在原本寂涼的街道上躺著一具具的焦屍，無數燒蝕入骨的手臂在建物的破窗之中揮舞，一張張猙獰的臉孔吶喊著慘烈的哀嚎，而此時放眼望去，整座城市已經完全陷入絕望，沒有任何人有餘力拯救它人，每一具生靈都是受害者，每一聲淒厲都得不到回應。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbKZCzPuAm
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROWCCTL5k3
　　但王后卻輕輕牽起了愛里的手，幫助她握緊了手中的鑰匙。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxlLToDxz7
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8mUmY7XNx
　　「妳可以拯救他們，愛里。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgNd3pHGf5
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrqWVq0skr
　　愛里卻猶豫了下來，在接下來的時間裡，底下的煉獄完全都無法打擾到她，而她便也就只是默默地看著。許久過後，她仍是沒有任何的決心，只是愣愣地問道。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LVty3AA53
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XHOB4iY6s
　　「......打開門，讓他們進到我們這的世界嗎？」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbwt1qEUG9
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhyDwJuPwX
　　「不，愛里，不能夠這麼做，深海的壓力會碾碎他們，他們並不屬於大海，我們沒有辦法拯救所有的人。」王后轉過身，和她看往同樣的方向。「但那些和妳同樣的，原本就來自深海、流著我們血脈的子民，妳可以拯救他們。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU9FHwMaYy
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHFGttVO40
　　在那些人之中，已死去的、仍活著的，在有著極為稀少的數量裡，開始點起湛藍色的光芒。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89c0oYJbpK
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFTJsDAqwT
　　「那些人應該要回到我們的世界裡、回到這個屬於他們的世界。」王后轉回過頭，看向愛里胸口中，那顯然強烈得超過其他人的光芒。「愛里，妳可以、也必須要拯救他們，他們需要妳，需要妳帶領他們回到大海裡。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSDxzJhIRk

　　在巨響過後，鐵皮倉庫燃燒了起來，嚎啕的大雨為這副駭人的畫面所伴奏。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EbwOGujXO
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUtDAFj71X
　　巷口外，一列人影冷眼看著，他們每個都裹身於黑底紅邊的厚油布斗篷之中。最中央的是登葛主教，他的眼裡竟然能有發自內心的哀傷。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcECqLMy9zK
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMHA9QBUi2
　　「黎恩的狀況呢？」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaayczBLBWL
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXGptQwyj0
　　他迫切地問道。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57w5ifydZv
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63PM7URNgA
　　而接話的是站在身旁，身穿灰白色蓑衣，唯一顯得突兀的老者。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmod9VDobjb
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjJF2uDl9k
　　「溫度沒有下降太多，以餘燼來說還是算燙。」老者笑了笑。「怎麼樣？想弄熄她嗎？」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlL6lWIChS
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2PZ53lg6j
　　「這傻女孩，就是希望她別再被扯進來了。」登葛主教悄悄地嘆了口氣。「不必了，這一次就讓她自己決定自己的命運。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchldfWZAAe
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIk0ZO05GD
　　「死了女兒都沒見你這麼難過。」老者皮笑肉不笑地瞥了他一眼。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHPR2s8S9g
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwgSQrhq3B
　　「因為她是英雄。」而他只是在沉默了片刻以後黯然說道。接著，話題一轉。「愛里呢？找得到她嗎？」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV8bjbMDlt
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBkmWHXthB
　　「每一團由我親自點燃的火，火源都離不開我的手掌心裡。」老者抬頭，往暴雨襲來的正上方看去。「就算整篝火都淹沒在海底之下，只要撈上岸，死灰復燃也只是一眨眼的事情。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzXFIVkZ2s
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPagU88pIS
　　「妳需要多少人？」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsaDt51NN3

　　「我自己就夠了。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEX24eTQFS

　　「妳已經不如以往了。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN3DdFPBA4
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEjFure4ce
　　「也輪不到你來操心。」老者瞪了他一眼。「有多餘的人手還是留在自己身邊吧，一個手無縛雞之力、只會出張嘴的主教大人。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk67cmh2Rlc
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6pTxXx1wG
　　但扛在登葛主教肩上的沉重並沒有因此而晃動半分，或許早已習慣、或許從未在意過。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFWpSW7JiU
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwxMun9eRO
　　他開始動身，率領著所有黑斗篷－－那些他的親信們。往回安中學的方向前進。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnShBluiOM
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaaH6Eg027
　　當所有人都從白簑老者的身後無聲經過，她看了隊列中那根被油布條包裹住的刺槍，露出了期待的眼神。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllRaQGbEkQ
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCKr8pubuU

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFT4lVpRBl
　　在一切彷彿經過數萬年的凝滯後，下一個秒鐘，先乍現的是瞬間充斥整個空間裡的刺眼強光，緊接跟來有如鋼筋捆束從高處急墜重砸在地的裂腦炸響，響聲連環不斷，持續數秒、至少三、四十聲後才終於停下，而這世界也早已經暈眩成一團混亂。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs9306LPUB

　　明旭以身體護在黎恩之上，在最後一聲響結束以後，他感受到四周開始燃燒。滾燙的熱空氣不斷膨脹，擠壓著他，也纏繞著他。很快地，他已經無法再忍受下去。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFq2arRSBg

　　明旭試著挺起身子，卻發現原本小小幾坪的四方空間中，此時放眼望去已經成了一片無際的漆黑，彷彿被吞進了某種怪獸的肚裡，劇烈蠕動的黑色濃霧是擁擠腸道中的肉壁。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxoiZW3bRe

　　該死，他完全沒有想到這一點，這可憐的女人怎麼可能有辦法在火場中冷靜下來？103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0WHabi1st
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOg1nOxFFX
　　他一手抓住黎恩的修袍，做好了有很大的機率會在今晚結束人生的覺悟，用上了不被允許保留任何餘力的準備，開始用力地扯上她，每一扯，都是一個蹲踞的大跨步。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMlrgZdaCF
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmzHbckA8e
　　眼睛再也無法張開，他緊閉著氣，幾乎要窒息，已經預見堅持不住的那一秒，本能會迫使他鬆開嘴巴大口吸氣，然後，他將會直接在一片混亂的黑暗之中倒地，從此失去自我，以最悲慘的方式死去。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9VgaSJoyX
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBB3gIBC0o
　　－－但在那一刻到來之前，他沒有放棄的打算。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EfGC73OPs

　　另一隻手在滾燙的地面上以大範圍揮舞的方式摸索著，他希望能夠觸碰到牆面，那麼無論現在的方向如何，就一定能夠做出準確地修正。而且模糊的知識告訴他，牆邊或許會讓環境好上一些。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uOpyVIAXq
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQNeW4gBkN
　　但下一刻，他所觸碰到的卻是某種金屬表面的異物。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sfkWPl7ZN
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwjVI0yt6z
　　那一瞬間過度激烈的觸感令他以為那是已經被烤成上百度的鐵桿，在下意識的反應收回手指後，他發現自己並沒有感受到疼痛，反倒是令人意外地舒緩。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5Lfd7b5ho
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQl8Hj4xoV
　　他嘗試著再伸手觸碰一次，然後發現那原來是相對而言冰冷至極的棍狀物。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFb4gPWvDM
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCFyiIAiUJ
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLnAhaJgj6
　　他趕緊撿了起來，在五官都已經幾乎要失去功能的狀況下，代替成為觸感的延伸，並依照原本的方向持續前進。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYgpvNuW9q
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYKiObhljS
　　一下拉扯、一下橫跨地，體感來說彷彿一輩子過去的時間，桿子末端終於碰觸到了另一種金屬物體，發出清脆的聲響。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KX7vqxt9C
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2GDjrhEM2
　　那是鐵捲門，或甚至更幸運地，那就正是大門的門扇。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJCdvs9z5e
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalhJZzZVLP
　　他再拉了黎恩兩次，直到終於來到金屬牆面的面前，然後，雙腳微微撐起了點高度，並伸手一抓－－103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw3alNVgxl
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXsq9pRsIj

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LSDnriiSe
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkMAiVLG9A
　　濃煙瞬間搶在他之前逃了出去，憑藉著底下只剩些微的空隙，他用盡最後的力氣，將黎恩像鉛球一樣大力一拋丟了出去－－103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLgvXaaK3f
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeGZg2pdt6
　　－－雖然那是個絕對會讓人恥笑的成績。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJEPJRy3RB
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcPTY6NlfG

　　冷漠的滂沱大雨並不是為了他們而下，但此時卻成功澆熄了他們身上的熾熱，隨著肉身的冷卻，明旭開始感受到每一吋皮膚都隱隱作痛著。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgerBhVJUF3
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJDabKIlco
　　他拚命地呼吸外頭冰涼的空氣，甚至抬起頭來接著雨水，然後，才發現了手上一直握著的原來是阿財原本用來捕殺愛里的那根魚叉。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMTJliWZKh
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocYSIj0pkm
　　待狀況稍微緩和後，他甩甩溼透的瀏海，重新一股作氣將黎恩扛上肩膀，一邊帶上魚叉，遠離火場往巷子外跑。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHleqSSsGWH
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYJ5IZVhKu
　　「船錨......」黎恩虛弱地喘著氣，但仍拚命地想從嘴中擠出句子來。「快去船錨那......阻止儀式......」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyycEkbtN4h
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOnxbwROiT
　　「妳先安靜。」背離燃燒成束的鐵皮屋，筋疲力竭的明旭找了處毫無意義的屋簷將黎恩放下。「我會去，但妳也不能死。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe9xqamgxp
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStQLoq2iff
　　「殺了愛里......一定要殺了她......否則一切都完了......」黎恩的面具已經遺失在火場之中，露出整張臉、模樣狼狽的她，此時正在哭泣。「拜託你......不要讓她感受到痛苦......至少在最後......」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVUkM2w0mX
