「所以……」艾嘉在運輸車副駕駛座，對腳上的L2提問，「你為什麼幫塔格，反抗你的……造物主？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ERTGanLle
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrrU0vT3ZK
圓餅狀頭部左右晃動，機械嚮導聲音間斷，「為什麼？也、也許，他讓我想起……身為人類的感覺？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPi47Qpd15
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLql1aXePF
「人類？」嘉娜莉靠近前座，看了一眼緊握方向盤的塔格。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdza2WWWKM
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcz66Q0PVF
「L2過去還是人類，就是他幫助德爾芬建立這個城市……」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ310E4yKzNO
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8olmeEIKMb
「做為報酬，我得以脫離肉身，把意識轉移到機械……」L2端詳爪子零件，存取處理器底層的編碼，「我失去很多，也得到不少⸺」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQAeWEiTjo
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTfCazw74T
「多虧有你才能駭入占卜系統，這次也拜託了，夥伴。」塔格在回收廠旁邊停下。兩位女子開啟車門，站到地面。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqT91hyHQC
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnTniKQUux
L2被塞進背包，衛兵頭盔遮蔽外來者面目，灰色制服讓她們融入日常。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0bOQCNUIO
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkJ5B52X76
「我去停機坪工作，確認其他隊員的位置，食物就麻煩了。」青年啟動引擎，對艾嘉點頭道別。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jLNvkB1et
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkzVP8bdko
不知為何，他的一舉一動總是讓女艦長感到莫名熟悉。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VbyWMQirF
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB12E32jdk
「那個……」嘉娜莉看著煙囪投影，朵魅唱著令人發毛的安魂曲，「為什麼食物要來這裡偷？該不會……」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4ZQr0vxEJ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSHhVKTMpm
「別會錯意，Soylent Green不是人肉做的！沒聽過？抱歉……」L2的發訊器在背包內發亮，趁兩人經過門口時駭入設施。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ454llFhNL
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSlkuOjoBP
「圓頂居民火葬之後，食物總量會出現除不盡的零頭，直到新生兒填補人口⸺我只要讓電腦燒一些不存在的居民，就能湊出你們的配給……人類每天都要吃飯，真麻煩」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWARs4fdSh
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcXswQeQzW
「但是，」嘉娜莉已經放棄理解其中原理，「你要到現場才能修改資料。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KY2M89lCO
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEZ4ykyZWz
「前言撤回，有人類真好⸺這雙短腿走過來要五千小時……」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuES0JoYVCX
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD0XrZBqqB
「沒空閒聊了。」艾嘉關上庫房艙門。守衛都被占卜支開，讓她們能夠潛入控制室，「對了……這裡有火葬者的名單嗎？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJFzF3vEhy
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9fUf4RBll
「抱歉，沒看到……這裡跟其它設施一樣，會定期移動數據到核心封存⸺下一次更新就是比賽當晚，到時候，絕對會被發現竄改痕跡。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hcagNAHq2
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDRRvNpDtW
「沒有退路了。」艾嘉嘆了口氣。監視螢幕上，排隊迎接死亡的居民滿面笑容，讓她不寒而慄。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7ruh7AUDo

藏匿外來者的廢棄倉庫內，兩架鋼鐵巨人躺在拖板車上，四周被各種零件包圍。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j8Est2k9h
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLUUxDr80K
「肚子餓了……」齊波收起電銲槍，拉開面罩，「想不到整備這麼累！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvMCcX1zfy
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yXOodTcoQ
「自己的機體，自己摸清楚啊。」烏霸半裸上身，用力鎖緊燃魂腳部的外裝甲，拍掉胸肌上的汗水，「裝上這些輪子就好了，你不是很愛飆車？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1zPAGGlLb
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7n5khXoHM
「我是兜風，不是飆車……」齊波看向坐機背部，一柄造型奇特的棍棒帶有銳利鋸齒，「還好，這把『黑曜石劍』沒被沒收，你這次別在擋我視線了。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHES70Qywp
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2MHMbFkku

447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKrQBFzWp1
「有獨立推進器，它們大概以為是機體元件……聽魯卡姊說，這是仿造太陽系古英雄阿茲特克……」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HR41k348S

兩人正要鬥嘴，倉庫突然響起警報。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR7dJQF2Jd
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb23dj07jNR
齊波與烏霸躲回水缸房間，與艾卡一起看著監視器螢幕。人類警衛與一台圓頭機甲經過附近山路，一點疑心都沒有。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl274byFzlr
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpzQL13WEQ
「少了占卜提醒就不會自己調查嗎？」烏霸語帶嘲諷。危機解除，那些警衛突然自顧自地跳起舞來。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLEpImq31K
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROA0usMCpe
採礦！採礦！電塑金屬，業績狂飆⸺447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h6ErnMBpg
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFvnrrXeQo
強烈節奏傳出艾卡臂環，可見朵魅跟著音樂搔首弄姿。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCVUbvQwW6
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjClmeLGUg
雜亂影像快速切換，每一段都毫無邏輯。齊波皺起眉頭，「天啊，感覺看了就會變笨。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW4F7OJE6Z
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSZJYOtEPu
「『滴答網』，大家會學朵魅自拍影片，」艾卡浮出水面苦笑著，「原本七秒，現在是三秒……我覺得很無聊啦。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfirkZCN1M
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEo6r2YWVE
「艾卡真成熟呢。」齊波伸手關掉警報器。水中孩童的稚嫩笑容，完全沒有打算對命運低頭。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkc4A9Omjw
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oLxuySPeR
「我喜歡聽L2說外面的故事，可以說一些給我聽嗎？像是……你們的事？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab2ggd1Cmc
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFY6azRisO
「嗯……那我跟你說……我的爺爺吧！傳說中，他一個人對抗帝國軍隊，拯救了家鄉⸺我就是想確定這件事才會上宇宙。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSEdqQXe8h
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s3lsvK4xw
「哇，拯救家鄉……」艾卡雙手撐在水缸邊緣，閃亮瞳孔開始天馬行空，「大哥哥拯救我，跟爺爺一樣是很厲害的英雄……」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm02YFKs1Qw
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPYFej6kSf
碧眼少年笑著別過頭。烏霸起身開門，裝作沒看到那滴眼淚，「晚點再說吧，我們要快點改造機體。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPeFwpPedR

銀髮傭兵走了幾步，感受到水中的強烈冀望，還有齊波上揚的嘴角。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn2pSCtQW7
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4DPffrzfh
「說一下嘛！烏霸，你真的只是為了鍛鍊才來的？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V82gxAJHH
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEaN8N8D10
「唉……對啦！我不像你們，都是為了家人……」烏霸背對房間，雙手叉腰，「我家人活得很好……十幾個兄弟姊妹都是商隊領袖。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx0IkVqQxI
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY07itSW8XN
齊波想起燧石部落洗刷汙名的事蹟。帝國抗戰時，他們是引導努那走向勝利的重要因素。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiTCwaCccn
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUbiO6YclZ
「戰爭結束，時代不同了，就剩下卡涅特的小兒子，還留戀暴力至上的雪賊精神。」烏霸握緊腰間佩刀，忘不了練武的快樂。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoCOLhWnmP
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sr6PD7qUh
「我只有這個，這是父親給我的熱血精神……等到名揚宇宙，我就能回家，讓那些說閒話的人閉嘴。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd6gXX65AX

銀髮青年的肩膀輕了一些。艾卡盯著劍士的火紅挑染，吐露純真的感情，「大哥哥……好帥！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeto3GINTm
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8U7sIsyI5
「我也覺得很帥哦。」齊波露出兩排牙齒。烏霸臉頰發熱、快步離開。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFO3CphOpp
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocxEu6KIwL
「不說了，上工！」
埋首於反攻準備，時間很快就到了傍晚。圓頂燈光盞盞熄滅，塔格小隊回到倉庫，他們找出組員被囚禁的位置，也拿到了食物配給。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bn6JctKQF
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v0ns9z5K5
好不容易清出客廳，一夥終於能好好休息，然而，那些灰色的營養糕實在提不起胃口。烏霸離開客廳，在機體駕駛艙東翻西找，搜出一包乾燥香料。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4p7sP0NDx
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1pbQPN4d4
未曾有過的氣息觸動味蕾，輪椅上的艾卡口水直流。塔格看著芳香葉片點綴餐盤，都忘記要幫L2充電。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdqH8GmkW7
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVc2gWRQNo
笑聲搖曳燭光，晚餐時間結束。艾卡被推回水缸休息，L2走到倉庫中央，在地板上投影出一個大圓形。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsac3n8c99P

齊波與烏霸起身，站在大圓兩端對望。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPcGLT7HC4
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ012ePwx3FX
「首先，感謝方位與時鐘概念，這個遺產永遠都會伴隨人類文明前進⸺」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ChcLbCf5i

「講重點，L2。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z2eS02gmx

「好吧，齊波尼亞，你代表北門，烏霸是南門⸺賽道很單純，繞圈！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ3CbHqr3x
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBZKSPByup
下一秒，四個機甲圖樣出現在齊波腳邊，兩白、兩黑。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQxZl2cb29
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN0V18CePw
「二對二，白隊黑隊同時從北門出發，順時針前進，全力搶『球』⸺一噸重，碳纖維外殼的球。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIiBHcunnP
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hy3YywNru
紅色圓點在賽道的三點鐘位置閃爍，很快就被機甲圖案帶走。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHLSE5FnyM
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3VFGyxYMq
「搶到球的那隊繼續前進，順時鐘通過南門，得分。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9xlacXRop
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMVsN7gZS5
圓點穿過烏霸腳底，地板顯示一比零。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQyZBK6Wx3
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuW7qexLLP
「得分後，下一次就必須順時針通過北門，依此類推⸺全程都可以搶球、干擾，先得三分獲勝！」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5Eh0oxnzG
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqAu4qNzX2
投影消失，L2放大音量強調。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4LPus2oZ6
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRh4QfqK8f
「但是，你們不能贏，也不能讓敵隊贏！爭取時間、製造混亂，讓其他人奪回領航者號，才是主要目標。」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbuHzuWOKW
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYwkgXPuNZ
「該說簡單，還是困難呢？」齊波看向烏霸，怕他不小心打到忘我。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK4RH5uEwT
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFQa47dzdI
「知道啦……」銀髮青年雙手抱胸，眼神少了一點傲氣。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYaP5DppNt

被系統遺忘的秘密基地正在醞釀策略；朵魅的歌聲一如往常地伴隨圓頂入睡。
一千光年遠的太陽系中，新月軍抵達小行星帶內側，準備進入第二階段躍進航行，前往金星節點研究所一探究竟。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9dO3vUBTV

沒有家人的她準備打開寢室時，看到莎拉‧赫克托帶著一盒包裹飄過轉角。447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULryxB5vX5

447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Iykn96qBh
「沒關係，我不介意！」茵坦笑著揮手，化解尷尬，「那是妳父親寄來的嗎？」447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ1pza8rew

複製人試著不去在意⸺或是不想在意⸺那個從包裹散發出的不祥氣息。
