等我醒來時，還趴在桌子上，桌前放著舊時代的油燈，早已經不知道在什麼時候熄滅了，風吹的窗戶吱嘎作響，可能再用力一吹就要整片飛走了，我看了錶上時間———是凌晨四點，鬣狗站在窗邊，他盯著我然後點點頭86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBsIo0NzWo
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhdHV3QpT7
「一個夜行者跟一個日行者最佳的行動時間點也許只有這一刻，但再過幾個鐘頭可能就要換我累了。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfIa4KMGoz
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipm4qAgD1T
「我知道，這也許是好事，我們可以互相警戒。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUOS7gbAs9
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK5U76XebZ
我穿上裝甲，配附外掛充電器、確認子彈跟武器等等……等準備好了之後，我拍了拍鬣狗的肩膀86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuo6Y8MY7j
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5CngxGhMh
「我好了，接下來呢？」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwQLqlPLol
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA6j2sRUn1
「我們直接問問櫃檯的人吧，也許他知道些關於『遊俠』的事情。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38BGZzRYdt
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdncUHt0JbI
下了樓，樓梯的吱嘎聲讓櫃檯打盹的老頭緩緩轉頭往我們這邊看過來86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEFrGSS2pH
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPisVhVfmS
「咳咳…有需要幫忙的嗎？……」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6uaiYjdHZ
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYODbZ7mLv
「老先生，你有聽過『遊俠』這號人物嗎？」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3yS27xAXg
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmg8xRz7ki
「啊！咳咳……你們是…朝聖者嗎？」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnlZ32SuZX
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuBnmtIfPp
老頭打量著我們的服裝，顯得有點訝異86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHYuMWnhkX
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUWKGd4451
「沒錯，我們在找尋正確通往『稀望教堂』的捷徑，你知道些什麼嗎？」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1DP5VYJ2j
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX5mkQzeWs
「咳咳…『朝聖之路狂沙漫漫、黃衣之王虎視眈眈』捷徑是有…..但並不會更輕鬆……咳咳…相反的，有更多人犧牲在捷徑的路上…前陣子，也有一夥四人小隊前往朝聖，我想……他們不會再回來了……」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNf3SgWcnS
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1VGE1Am39
「他們…死了？」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt9Q8LCvk4
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwYp2PdAYg
我問道，同時把目光投向老者顫抖的雙手86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTGfFshEsN
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXHkdUoAsO
「我不知道……但如果他們真的通過了試煉而變得強大…咳咳…又怎麼會回來看著這滿目瘡痍呢？沒有理由……畢竟這裡已經沒救了。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfxv3234N1
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf5PDxYfto
老人嘆了口氣，他垂下頭，乾的發白的嘴唇抖動了一下86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9vtlFyaZc
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs9kD1H8zj
「你願意告訴我們從哪走嗎？」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVTu07ukuU
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNav6fD0Dr8
鬣狗希望能有更詳細的資訊86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gPWqr63sn
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbmy5agOev
「過了我們城牆靠北的管制點…咳咳…那個墓碑形狀的護城大橋，如果你們被擋下來了⋯⋯告訴他們你是黃衣之王的信徒……咳咳……來吧，手伸出來。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp9ahS78Ek
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIbPYHckVs
老人接過鬣狗的手，突然從腰間抽出一把小刀插入他的手掌然後快速的亂劃一通86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6SM9M7vig
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmTwcySqQr
「啊！幹！」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcBYAxBN8h
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83jBnHqVLJ
「你瘋了嗎？！給我住手！」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCantszArc
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LgPLC79L2
我拿著槍抵住了老頭的腦袋，而鬣狗則痛苦的壓住自己的傷口，鮮血不斷從指縫中滴下來86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1lY4XI33F
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOLOwxdkWj
「嘿！要過那道關卡……咳咳…你必須要有印記，我在幫助你們……否則你們是不會被放行的。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFJ6AA5Wcv
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFGpRsnngG
「你再輕舉妄動我就要開槍了！」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGGNMfK0tu
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxojcpB7EcB
老頭依然慢條斯理的站起身，正對著我們展開雙臂86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NHNLj5Ndy
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN6n8xIbmY
「咳咳……如果是真的朝聖者，他必定願意承擔此等痛楚…咳咳咳… 很簡單，你真的有心要尋找教堂嗎？」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd3O5jJhja
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnhgCMTXdc
「我要可是……」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cOFyP0TiC
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabUWhwDdtB
「賽博，聽他的……」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHAwIQ6FsS
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH2xls7vsR
鬣狗打開他的手掌，裡頭確實有類似符號的傷口，綻開的傷痕仍在滲血，這畫面怵目心驚86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYyPCWlOvG
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bMyKEhx3x
「伸手吧，我只是想幫你們…咳咳…」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU9sIuG1ah
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw6n4kFlOn
「……………」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EzewGdF5x
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcknMTsvMOy
我看見老人用比剛才還用力的力道刺入我的掌心，輕微像是電擊一般的觸感後，卻只有劃開一道毫無感覺的皮層，裡頭的也不是血，而是銀質的液體緩緩流出，可以看到那傷口正在迅速的癒合86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoIsu5FyqC
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnased4ggSC
「你…咳咳…我見過你…？」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9TWj1t8gl
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EoBz6ptHd
老人瞇著眼看著我86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQUkJinYvN
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAa1Su49vY
「我也不知道。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU4dYn31qR
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb3bN8zQWW
鬣狗靜靜的看著這一切，片刻後確定我的傷口形成印記後才開口86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz1vRDLwLc
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ7uk98i31
「我的手現在沒辦法開車，而且我覺得有點想睡覺了，你幫我個忙，讓我在車子裡待一會。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7yk0n4vth
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgRoSXTssS
我點點頭，主副駕切換，我看著遠方高聳浮誇的城牆以及那座醒目高聳的墓碑狀橋樑，它就這樣豎立著像是某個巨人的墳墓，沒錯，我得直直往那裡看過去86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokohRvnlGK
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaruemSD5WU
「鬣狗，坐穩了，我不是個好駕駛唷！」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgEjEs1EE1
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2XX8f60UZ
我扣上安全帶，看著所剩不多的電量說道86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bPS9Y6zxF
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQodKNM2w2V
「自由發揮…我先睡了。」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxkWFF6g8F
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FgAhseB5N
他不久後便沈沈睡去，我則看著刺眼的陽光照射進滿是沙塵的玻璃窗上，任憑那光亮反射在我的身上，黃色、金色、象牙色，一切都在黃沙與金光的映照下顯得荒涼、熾熱86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRnjcIsI9l
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZeaMkaqcn
「朝聖之路狂沙漫漫，黃衣之王虎視眈眈…」86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYIiwmVXUM
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmuV5JVgBM
我念念有詞，看著這惡劣而陌生的環境，內心也變得不踏實起來，我有種感覺，自己曾經就在這條路上行駛過，尤其經過每個斷掉的巨型雕像、或者風蝕得厲害的路標時，那種既視感格外強烈
「鬣狗，你這麼拼命的找尋真相，真的只是因為老闆交代這麼簡單嗎？」
我喃喃道，既使我知道熟睡的他根本不會回應我，行駛過的痕跡揚起陣陣風沙，在那未知的領域必定有著我們不得而知的凶險存在
