這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBpQASMH7O
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEofceYkpGH
為了應付嚴苛戰事而組織的精銳部隊，在戰鬥中卻將近三成沒能安然回歸。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tfimN5bHe
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKp8bTmEQz
戰勝的消息傳回能源局之後，負責探勘的隊伍開始確認生還的居民，以及貧民窟內部的建築狀況。由於交通工具總是受地形阻礙，推演的速度相當緩慢。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxie2P88oO
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXEoL3d1l8
清理出安全的道路後，在軍隊的護送下，拆除大隊與某些人道團體成功進入貧民窟，展開了八年來第一次除了邊境鎮壓以外的互動。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbw8iiaATK
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftc8mjmbnP
從最外圍開始，拆除團隊逐漸改造扭曲的街道、不穩固的樓房。為了保持警戒，可以看見軍人與工程師同時出現在工地內的景象。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W3GMDhIAH
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY1Fun0Pf0
雖然這場戰爭在其他地區掀起軒然大波，由於不過是數年前，人們就曾經目睹科學發展帶來的慘劇，疑惑的群眾幾乎一面倒向責備能源局。即便如此，長期掌控著社會生態的能源局，在熟練迅速的壓制下，輿論並沒有造成什麼障礙。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhVmhmdhtB
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR32Y7MpLL
尤其是時值冬末，讓人無法提起活力的天氣煩惱著這座都市的所有人。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBTw9FlOtx
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj0NZ8HK1I
季風雨持續降下，遲遲等不到晴朗的天空。依照觀測，恐怕會是二十年以來最漫長、也將會是最寒冷的冬雨季。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyir6xTzTd
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuucPqFsxm
分明是新年，令人不快的陰鬱氣息卻籠罩在這座高科技都市上。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XtkFQ6j6t
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSCcZvby1u
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjFwcBzE7I
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokuUmI2E8h
距離高盧游擊部隊完全集結，朝中央發展區展開總攻擊，還有兩個小時。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBQKdbJPWj

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ8NZVZ2Oq
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeuwyJ5aFn
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXzAy4Brl8
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd50NCiAHsm
摩托車的頭燈照亮四周的殘骸，勉強地開拓了視線。依奴駕駛著傷痕累累的愛車，僅僅以不至於讓車身翻倒的緩慢速度前進。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e1aZySlQA
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRjWFrjwJP
持續跑在街道中又過了數分鐘，眼前所見的場景幾乎沒有變化，赫恩沒辦法從這些廢墟中分辨出什麼差別，也不曉得他究竟要往哪裡走。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yfC1VQflf
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3HA1DNsto
依奴從剛剛開始就不發一語，他弓著背並且把頭壓得很低，抓住龍頭的雙手明顯地過度使力，正微微發抖著。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8NoUID5n6
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxlHYoOdKc
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzftdMJFn0h
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83YyCXCYsp
這場戰爭，從開始到現在的平息，究竟經過了多少時間？赫恩覺得自己的時間感已經被打亂了，所有經歷過的事件在腦中都攪和成一團。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTB5sclaoE
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUI8uxSret
燃燒、傾倒、萎縮。各式各樣的畫面破碎成片段，全部溶解在摩托車彷彿無止境的低沉引擎聲中。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2orpblePU
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlZQ0SeNCa
還要多久才能抵達目的地呢？或者會永遠這麼運轉下去呢？原來，逃亡是件這麼沉重苦悶的事情。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLCMuNIW4x
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwaa5J41WZ
正當赫恩已經陷入迷濛的睏意中時，景色的轉變重新牽動了她的注意力。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsDcFx02Cm
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iywpjJWYK
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN9t20WlKn
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoIvhRhp1A
橫跨了整個混亂的建築區域後，四周的景色居然開朗了起來。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKqk9P42TC
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEhUhakUoB
彷彿在宣告著目的地已經到達，東方的天空此時漾起了光芒。厚重的雲層遮蔽了黎明，但純潔無瑕的晨光渲染開來，視野逐漸變得清晰。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLFFfCsmsB
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ctzpy7zMf
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2wmF9Zoov
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SQJfXJkZZ
摩托車所經的地方，似乎曾經是某個重要的區塊。舊時代都市的街區、歪斜的交通號誌，甚至是柏油路面上的號誌線，這些規劃完整的建設依然留有痕跡。十字路口上停擺著廢棄的車輛、輸電用的纜線也在樓房間穿梭。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9srIkxYA4t
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv0BRFqTrP
成排的商店與公司坐落在主要幹道左右，依稀能想像這個市區以前的繁榮光景。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblyRbXMPfS
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpqd7mzDWh
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmc8ShMhk5
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBH0rhCjvw
這是赫恩首次見到舊世代的都市，包括現代已經不存在的電線桿、霓虹燈招牌、電話亭、郵筒等等，這裡有許多她無法理解的設施。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6SVAzg7h8
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuaBx8L5o7
摩托車來到某個建築物前方，跑了一整夜的雙輪終於不再運轉。只不過，依奴並沒有準備任何停車下車的動作，他仍然僵硬地緊握著油門──441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8XRXuBwYy
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTDCdC2HnY
滑行了一小段距離後，失去控制的車體就這麼往側邊傾倒下去。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHC8QdSDcZ
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jEZ8mcvtB
「唔嗚！」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfXIuGJK11
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rQNMbVtYu
抱著他的赫恩嚇了一大跳，她放開手臂跳開，狼狽地往旁邊跌坐，差一點被摩托車的笨重車體砸中。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELQk6aM7IB
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz1NEiEJDH
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy7wudljjP
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5neeFoteM
「依奴！」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJUpTAIJ75
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1Y312HqvD
赫恩慌張地向前去，把車鑰匙拔出來讓引擎熄火後，費了一番功夫才將笨重的車身移開，並且將依奴從下面拖了出來。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqgWbrwSYt
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe03AAMEIwS
即使如此，依奴仍然一動也不動。他趴伏在地上，甚至連半點呼吸或喘息聲都聽不見。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaQH4TBva0
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vO7mFgV6w
赫恩讓他靠坐在車體旁，輕輕摘下那頂貝雷帽，將他低垂的臉托起。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OUXwNhkbH
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwubrrGich
「依奴──」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq6Od6LPAU
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0SxvNSiY8
脫口喊出對方的名字後，赫恩迅速地止住了話音，再也無法說下去。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECRE6t72XG
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBciG4bSjt
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VhdV1aIED
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB2rDKDfGA
在黎明的微光下，她能夠清晰地從領口看見——黑色的血管紋路，從依奴的胸口向上方蔓延，雖然血管的走勢在頸部附近就停止了，但依然有幾條怵目驚心的紋路爬上了他的臉頰。擴張的青色血管扭曲了表面的皮膚，像植物的根部般盤踞著，除了病態與扭曲以外，無法讓人有更多的聯想。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXwz4QjPgq
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONSyVfcG1Z
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9qXqCWvz3
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiTTepznV9
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVzybVhorX
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSdr7BEIvs
原本那精緻且秀氣、甚至堪稱為美麗的面孔，竟然被侵蝕成這副模樣。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1vk2Fj0qb
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnG09pJdBS
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ILWTyMKuY
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKPCqj5y1H
黑色血管是從左胸口開始蔓延的，越接近心臟，出現的血管就越粗大，宛如被寄生般相當恐怖。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBygK01tXL
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOBa6t4UNe
她試探性地抓起依奴的手掌放在臉頰上，傳來的是令人不安的冰涼。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwluimIwLso
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsveRX5n1T
他還有微弱的呼吸，保住了虛弱的命，但不知道什麼時候才會從昏迷中醒過來。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlkZDBse5F
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBXHg9K8iY
雨還在下，不過勢頭已經減緩許多，紛亂的聲響也降低不少。徒留下濕潤與空虛的寒冷，仍舊在吐息間流竄著。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbflzYMXunD
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qTJdj4Pl0
她重新站起，確認四周圍的請況。這塊保留完整的舊街區其實相當小，在逐漸明朗的光線下，都市的輪廓已經緩緩成形。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNckKh5QvJp
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAb3ZqC51q
八年前，建設在這裡的閻融爐暴走時，擴散的能量震盪所摧毀的建築物數量，大概佔整座桔梗區的三分之一，剩下的部分即使還勉強留存著模樣，但供電系統等等軟體設施已經全部報銷，對都市來說等於是機能癱瘓。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1Hfgen5Rj
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG1MtYI8NO
重建工程展開時，為了降低新建材的需求，曾經大規模地拆除還留有主體的地區，把廢建築內完好的鋼材、玻璃等等資源回收，送往開闊地帶建造新的居住區。再加上難民們當時並不知道這些重建建築將會成為他們永久性的巢穴，所以對於重建工程並沒有細心規劃，導致發展區內零零落落地到處都看得到難民營，交通路線也是九彎十八拐。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqHnUR4Mpo
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORos5ADecS
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsOHJ24zzH
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wEJiGrFfr
沒有被能量震波轟垮、沒有被回收作業拆除、亦沒有被胡亂的重建計畫改造，還保留著八年前那夜之後的殘敗模樣。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUPDMM2N4q
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKcigoJGBW
唯一的可能性，就是到來的軍隊曾經刻意避免了難民與這塊區域的接觸，將其作為重點區域封鎖住了。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziuKuqxS1c
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBlqexYBbg
這片涵蓋四個十字路口，長寬不過數百公尺的範圍，從外表上看去毫無特出之處，至少憑著赫恩的經驗，這些沒看過的建築在當時應該也不是研究機構或者政治中心之類的，研究機構不長這個樣子。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuc9mg1i2x
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIh2zf0PVT
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OGfTes6wV
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV9Yucwnl3
雖然那棟建築物是這附近最接近科學機構的，但明顯設在門口的橫幅矮牆上，刻著某某醫院的名字。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8AZxfuwPx
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJveQJWtVG
急診室的入口、救護車的出入車道、以及一般病患出入的大門都具備，雖然被拉上的鐵捲門嚴謹封死，但應該就如同名字顯示的，是普通的醫院吧。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE3DisUJHG
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpGD0NU6w5
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ528FTZ1wwj
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l0C6SaUtT
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO0Gyw3Zq1
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPZqM77Lis
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0acHjoS24c
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OTNpwBtzn
依奴皺起眉頭，試圖深吸一口氣，肺部的收縮似乎造成了痛楚。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvFabZFq7V
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl9ohNc9Zj
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0hC16htDl
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMvcGcjwyi
赫恩連忙跑過去扶助依奴，幸好依奴很快就恢復狀況，硬撐著剛甦醒的意識，勉強讓自己重新站直。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUULppB5D7k
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z0nrJTfay
他臉上的血管出現了細微的蠕動，隨著大口喘息的動作而顫抖，模樣相當嚇人。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73Bdc2nZbh
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q2MmICueo
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmXiwqnVPr
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLZVI1yYsq
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxpljXJWdV
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo127ZjOQlL
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIkusTR7i7
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1aSbvzh4P
他用發抖的手拉開行囊，從藥罐中倒出止痛藥片，仰頸吞嚥下去。經過幾分鐘的調整呼吸後，氣色才漸漸好轉。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AWgSubgZe
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5IddTpLhV
他將倒地的摩托車拉起立直，然後放鬆地用力吸了一口長氣。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡharCzfdiYx
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbfRXcDtVM
就像往常一樣，他拿出保溫杯倒了一份冒著蒸氣的溫水給赫恩。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef92Nv6kV1
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZHF55wYP5
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsz0sSLOUQ
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYcvvL97WD
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPinMsztWQ
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWagpjyfmUb
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dyzSf0gDw
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HPtPA9muP
「我早就習慣了。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf1eGvjeuu
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlELAe9dGsA
依奴垂下雙眸，即使依舊是名少年，他習慣性的表情卻總是透著難以言喻的沉鬱，雖然他未曾用言辭表達，但心中一定壓抑著什麼。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgYRO1I02s
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWABr6QGGY6
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBExJQ5jkq
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlq803ILU5
只不過是一天前，同樣是在黎明時觀看這個男孩的側臉，樣貌卻已經完全不同。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhJGOGbElG
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJQGjibDvg
雨季的厚雲剝奪了陽光的溫度，而少年漂亮的面容也已經被恐怖的傷痕摧毀。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErCIigLLa5
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi2HAmR2K0
赫恩輕輕啜飲了一口溫開水，好在至少這份溫度依然留存著。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82fJlmd7Fx
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtJwMMed1H
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pI2mtN4lz
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSiR6SGVpE
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS8xJNtQxx
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJnwxLCRbZ
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2Q6UdCh7H
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNT4G6kjCm
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMURg47hxgy
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LrVLN2HEi
「這裡是？」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBoXIHfD9i
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJzuqjU2nK
「算是城市邊陲地帶的市區，從這裡繼續往西的話就能看到海岸了。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUeCzwPY7e
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2jDtaKYJu
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhsVDNsCbD
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytfQjI4ycO
「這裡是受到閻融爐爆炸的傷害較小的災區外圍，距離政府軍能利用的入口也相當遠。碎片瓦礫堆積而成的小山形成了絕佳屏障。如果不是像我一樣知道正確的走法，又沒有空中攝影機做引導，並且開著重型工程車鏟除路障的話，兩三天內幾乎不可能穿越複雜的貧民窟廢墟，抵達這個地方。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmme1b37ir9
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M7kyjaKpu
依奴指了指身後的醫院：441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsblZnKP0gY
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstHGSIlvYN
「但不曉得貧民窟現在的狀況實際上如何了，我們能待的時間也不多。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMV3jrgo4P
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgumfJNIXA
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAzQcg039Q
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCCnyUoYGC
依奴原本沒做多想就要去接，但他在最後一刻頓住了，回想起昨天高架公路上的經驗，讓他很快的又把手抽回來。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIY8V9IzQA
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff1Dg1d9iz
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe8S8iZPRl
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxsO49rQ5A
「不可以嗎？」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOBucSGLen
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTQGvyyPPa
「妳真的打算握？」看著赫恩毫無多慮的疑惑表情，依奴輕嘆了口氣。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz0T6FZLF3
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKRw5cEyRy
「把杯蓋給我。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZDtcch3JP
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCGkfAQLcI
「就讓我握一下吧。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkDtlRkBB5
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna2fCJFksv
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSnoSM38cL
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEzBY8pLje
「依奴。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtqIrymYlK
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mCcdOiESZ
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZctoYL2hI
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfPhNGJLbc
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF60kv8d6w
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwEr5vlujp
她將依奴的手撫貼在臉頰上，感受著已經漸漸回歸肌膚之間、流淌著血液的熱量。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Um6MV7UPq
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS79Pu0QLbe
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjCWggogxm
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNmO64wdeI
「溫度回來了。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb5hRw6TKZ
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1jXTboDdP
「好了嗎？」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIukyvHuWY
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m5OVxKKnx
「再稍微這樣一下子。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVUQCLxZyN
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKyr1xczSu
像是在彌補之前的擔憂般，赫恩仍然緊握著不放，兩人就這麼僵持了數秒，對依奴來說還真是相當尷尬的體驗。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TtW7P96R8
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s1HPtbd7G
但是，看到赫恩穩定安適的表情，他更不想打斷這樣的片刻。由於自己的手掌比較冰冷些，赫恩臉頰的溫熱感也渲染到了手上，依奴若有所思地感受著這份溫度。他深感慶幸，此刻的他竟然還留有性命，能觸及她的臉頰。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomfG3WgRLI
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnfcIqDSBT
或者說，他就是為了奪回這份真實感，才能夠苟延殘喘到此刻──441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3KfVqd4aP
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcB1m28IUG
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ193hnzcGpu
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkz80NLltm
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y64IMvJ3n
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2DJVqsaHs
「喂。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPR70x8qab
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4To332w8ko
「現在移除裝置可能導致不可預測的資料損毀，確定要移除嗎？」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz4zYQ13fP
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX9khIML7t
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVYP1c48DN
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93SuEIGsMd
恢復平靜後，他把摩托車藏到建築的陰暗處，用垃圾桶和廢帆布稍微遮掩。接著用鋼索發射器朝醫院的二樓開了一槍，拉出堅韌的繩索。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmZmT1Tp8b

抱起赫恩後，他踩上旁邊的汽車當作階梯，墊了一步，順著跳躍的勢子往上飛升。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHk8j3Ae6H
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxMUUAsdtO
依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU9XAWDbha
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecg55DmiJN
玻璃碎塊零落地四散一地，在積滿灰塵地地面上刮出痕跡。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FbHoaZDGr
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcWiVeU5sN
赫恩還是不太習慣這種三度空間式的移動方式，因為暈眩而意識搖晃了下。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy92g0K6caY
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDmQmxPXzK

「依奴，為什麼要來這裡？」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbeB1EYDl7
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qg57FQu8L
「建築物下層有間資源倉庫。包括貧民窟可能短時間內就會被攻陷在內，旭夜機會把所有可能性都做足了保險。我常常負責將一些非常貴重的物資轉移到這裡來。目前首先要補充彈藥和汽油，再來決定下一步。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWQHvUewbq

依奴並沒有正面回答赫恩，他收起鋼索發射器掛在腰上，往走廊的另一頭踏出步伐。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs1khaleNM
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ul4P7Wx4o
醫院裡瀰漫著某種難以言喻的臭味，大多是水氣的濕臭，但隱隱約約似乎也包含著藥品的刺鼻味道。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS02nc5y0hk
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AQ7rPa5Yf
「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMzhchSkGn
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1wm6DylDy
依奴用平淡的口氣說：441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEcKIH2Hqg

「而且，也根本無從整理起呢。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXswGGmZKi
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyPskygjPw
赫恩乖巧地緊跟著他的腳步，迅速通過了長廊，沿著已經停擺的手扶梯往樓下走。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YGiyZ18d8
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61nKfHh3T0
醫院裡的狀況相當慘烈，牆面上的污漬、傾倒的醫療器材等等，看起來非常不祥。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtusCZObYO
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s4lRERtHH
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRb2os6aGr
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIij3Xl1HV
閻融爐暴走造成的都市機能癱瘓，把這座城市幾乎所有的電子設備都燒毀了。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoVOSMPzX7
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLSAaoPI51
那些藉由先進醫療器材延續生命的病人們，在斷電的當下是怎麼想的？而那些剩下的人們沿著靜止的電扶梯徒步逃亡，砸毀不聽使喚的自動大門，互相推擠著、叫嚷著奪門而出。，走在一片漆黑的街道上，是如何的絕望。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOTzH6BWDZ
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfoNTsplHM
赫恩想像著，體會著當時人們的惶恐、絕望。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUDvv8hdeH
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm8K0MYB8n
兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrOBTaxqxo
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLjAT1PVG2
赫恩被眼前的景象震懾住了，她僵立在手扶梯旁，許久無法發出任何聲音。眼前的大廳，由於門口被鐵捲門阻擋，缺乏光線而顯得幽暗。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH9SBolWA1
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeacyuIKFOo
但在不清晰的亮度之下依然能辨識出，那是極端非人道的慘狀。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f8c6kga3K
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2r2EVbwQA
在大廳的盡頭有個巨大的缺口，明顯是用炸藥摧毀出的破洞。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzC2lDPEaE
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgED8a9o70w
從缺口處到醫院的出口，這一段短短的空間，卻是最為悽慘的「激戰區」。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFra60gxzQ
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBVzk009JH
崩落的牆面、散落的磁磚、暴露的鋼筋。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd5jPXBVBc
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvSHm1aocm
被機關槍掃過一遍又一遍，坑洞遍布的地面。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ETSaXfg0N

徒留下形狀，散落於各處，無人為其收拾的、人的死骸。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUtQ6qOgla
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenFEF07djB
一定是在這座城鎮化為廢墟之後就置之不理了吧？經過了這麼長久的時間，大多數的死屍都會被野生動物拖走、被昆蟲分解掉，然而依然有些痕跡遺留了下來。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhjTGtqYt0
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDHfaajehx
四周能找到不少燃料瓶的空罐——居然在如此狹窄的室內空間裡選擇用上火焰發射器，光是這樣的行為本身就充滿了殺意。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUqEbsFMbW
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5GrSFiF93
面對能夠將整個大廳的氧氣都燒乾的熱焰攻勢，別說是留下全屍了，那樣就連靈魂都無法得到安寧的死亡吧。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPETujC8kZ
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy6voU9pjF
但為什麼要在這樣的地方作戰？甚至還用這麼重的手段？441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhBFhQ5VSl

441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuQbA6cyGo
他彷彿在回味著陳舊血腥的洗禮一般，寧靜地佇立在屍堆之中，不過即使背對著赫恩，她也能感受到依奴此刻的情緒是如何的沉重。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvHHWtSaIJ

「最後的最後，我們也只殘留下了這點痕跡嗎。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKbHoF0dpG

441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWebRQJB6RS
依奴緩緩回過身來，低沉著嗓音，就像回答再自然不過的問題般，輕撫著自己面頰上攀附的扭曲紋路，向赫恩開口：441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RBf0yxo6l

441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwRd4jFA59
外面傳來了腳步聲。踏在堅硬地板上的敲擊聲實在太刺耳了，她已經快被這種聲音弄到抓狂了。還有耳語！隔著牆壁傳來的，隱隱約約的對談聲，途中甚至還能聽到自己的名字混雜在內，這樣的折磨也足夠讓心靈枯槁了。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPCyDvluTd

馴狗人的超兵計畫，傾向於加強軍人與軍犬的同步性。因為光靠攝影機的偵查效能不佳，而且儲電量會影響作戰時間。如果馴狗人和軍犬本身能夠以無償的方式交換情報，就能大大提升作戰的靈活度，於是依奴這樣的生物就誕生了。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoFaHyjfS4

無論是人或軍犬，任何一方面臨死亡時所經歷的痛楚，都會由另一方承受。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNQP3ClC0x
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy1AbkcuqM
能夠使生命逝去的方法千奇百怪，無論刀傷、槍傷、斬首或心臟遭到穿刺，無一例外地，還活著的那一方都會以活著的狀態，體驗死亡的感覺。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsDTybCqQy
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbo2PmqgtC
「在多數狀況下，死亡體驗時常刺激過度，讓另一端活著的大腦也麻痺，造成雙方死亡。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMUqpms8H0

「已經過了好幾年，我的成長加上象牙也會衰老，拜此所赐感應能力已經沒有當年那麼精準了吧。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCOy4tLF9X
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnfeV0LtaN
說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctAQM5e5qE
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sbTs8npMI
依奴就像是要將餘悸迷濛的不快感清除一般，深深地吸了一口氣。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u3mkE2atu

「胸口被子彈貫穿的經驗，我倒是紮紮實實地體驗了一次。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6fTMSpR21
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNBe32l4UC
由於劇烈的痛楚，依奴瀕死的痙攣讓肉體變成了如今醜陋的模樣。那個當下就連肺臟也差一點失去功能，讓依奴幾乎無法呼吸到足夠量的氧氣。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuxEYvLtDw

下一次面臨死亡的感覺時，就再也睜不開眼睛了。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRox2DJtg2w
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWMui4aM5W
值得慶幸嗎？應該感到安慰嗎？至少已經脫離了怪物的行列吧。依奴不善長對一件事情的轉折表現出情感，他習慣默默地接受發生在自己身邊的變化。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfgtK6sd7a
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyVN2Y3DF4
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLaS1lTLTR
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdLTLC2BbK
象牙對自己來說是什麼樣的存在呢？是寵物抑或是夥伴？甚至能夠說是自己身體的一部份吧？但另個層面來看，象牙的存在也不過是依奴過去悲慘經驗的陰影罷了。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVlwtyjnc4
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRPLpMdLWC
他們是那段黑歷史的最後根據。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1gX2mfROA

此刻連同馴狗人的研究場一同埋葬了。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol5iNXrjnF

赫恩若有所思地凝視著無人的街道。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pllPB5ygb

「或許有那麼一點吧，在妳身上找到『自己的投影』。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJit3BrVur
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n5oatfuRR
依奴低垂著頭，淡淡地說：441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30shRLkig9

「我很感謝『黑色聖夜』。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFav3o7Ylvy
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5C2BqQLlp
赫恩對於依奴的發言，露出了疑惑的表情。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnQeRl1M8c
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRV3eXwXCD
「黑色聖夜發生後，訓練機構中的警備系統癱瘓，我們率領著自己的狼犬，突破研究室的大門，殺死逃竄的科學家，從警衛手中奪走槍枝。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlLG3yoVK5

最後，用炸藥在醫院的地板上製造了通道。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGINisxFqMt

我們是以軍人為前提訓練的孩子，所以要突破一所醫院是輕而易舉。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbntBoJ7iY
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf7DdGbmWH
不，正確來說，尚年幼的我們無法拿捏分寸。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJfbn7XkjV
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y0DqjoWki
我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4xJTyzMrY
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbdh9vj1hk
因此，我們解放了自己的憎恨。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KN7pUa3MO

不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSIxCBR6G3

無數無辜的人死了。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg5MAD60IC
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqPTnnGGwD
要說我們「如同野獸一般」這樣的形容法是不精確的。因為受盡折磨的孩子與遭到囚困的狼犬們，兩者之間的恨意重疊、融合，最後那是跟獸性沒有兩樣的情緒。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90ddq3TEVt
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw5fgg9yDL
從牢籠支中掙脫，親手得到了染滿鮮血的「自由」後，我們放手做盡自己擅長之事。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtC4y2hCBl

「嗯，當時我覺得並沒有什麼不好。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQumWPG1FO

最後整個傭兵團被游擊隊吸收，然後輾轉認識了旭夜，才真正了解了自己以前生活的都市。能源局為了塑造這座先進的閻動都市，究竟犧牲了多少外人？時至今日就算再探究也毫無意義，只要明白……閻融爐所帶來的災厄比利益更多就足夠了。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeU8Rvtwbb

那些聲音，那些死亡。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yfzHnoqzv

赫恩搖晃著腦袋，濕潤的銀白色髮絲因此狼狽地搖晃。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDiRaTyPCu
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WhYIySARO
她不自覺地用雙手掌掐緊自己的脖子，試圖讓與上地雜亂思緒窒息。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM5W2ArbX4

現在衝擊著胸口的這種感覺，是感情嗎？441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4FglCIX9g

她驚愕地抬起頭。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgbQ67QtiQ

依奴低著頭，在赫恩耳際輕與呢喃：441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgDTwNie7w
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHcZXYztCI
「把視線放在我身上！妳存在的此刻，我和妳一樣存在著。如果妳必須為那些早已無法吐息的死者背負罪咎，那麼現在抱著妳的我該怎麼辦？」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BUvMNcebw

依奴將赫恩抱得更緊，令她無法喘息。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGHu4M0rCT
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pAB9xNF6U
「妳沒有做錯！自始自終存在的，就僅僅是妳自己而已！別自作多情了！死者就是死者，過去就是過去，妳才沒有背負性命獲罪業的權力！將我從地獄之中拯救之後，接下來赫恩必須拯救的，僅能拯救就是妳自己！不是為了誰，是為了赫恩妳！」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3S2nzgav0
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6htAKKVqQQ
赫恩因為驚愕而睜大的雙眼，隨著少年的話音逐漸恢復了神色。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWtlJsr2cw
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6Y0cr0pY7
虛脫感在她嬌小的身軀上擴散，就像剛剛從恐怖的惡夢裡掙脫，赫恩輕輕加深了呼吸，不再恐慌地顫抖。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0de9TxSN5
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B7MnSnLFu
倚靠著依奴的身體，她安逸地閉起雙眸。接著，像是要讓對方知道自己已經沒事了，她發出了微弱地聲音：441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh0gZhAJRW
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw1wrUcA5E
「依奴的胸膛……很溫暖。」441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTsbDzd5x3

所以，已經沒有問題了。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhQZsw1NLC

微風的低吟填充了對話的沉默，穿梭於曾被砲火責罰過後的都市。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCG7Slh9pm
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHXmLhSACE
彷彿在確認彼此的容身之處，依奴與赫恩感受著對方的存在，試著用這一點點微薄的證明，讓彼此不致於迷惘在這片廢墟當中。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOMgPoUOVf
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NxGbAsE5G
不知過了多久，響起的細碎電子音才打斷了他們的沉默。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxAloCwOX7

掛在依奴腰際的通訊儀器發出了電碼的頻率。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0i62WEVty

依奴沒有任何動作，只是緊抱著赫恩，將那段訊息聽完。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFLNXs9ihN

同樣的頻率重複了兩次，在這之後，通訊儀器再次回歸死寂。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI9sHVDjMl

面對懷中少女的提問，他一時間無法用任何言語應答。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEGvEKXCVA
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwXqMoJvAl
他將自己的臉埋在赫恩肩上，僅限此刻，貪婪地試圖保留那股氣息。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkXPMNEmYB

此刻浮現在赫恩腦海中的，並非毫無生息的研究所、虛假繁華的街道、撩亂交錯的燈光，也沒有潰散崩塌的高樓、解體沉降的橋樑或哀哭掙扎的人們。441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPj79ST73s
