壟罩天頂的夜幕撒下濃如墨的深沉黑暗,厚重的烏雲靜悄悄地隱沒閃爍星光。81Please respect copyright.PENANA76spbrKbew
81Please respect copyright.PENANAKiNto03N0s
於巷弄內肆虐的蕭蕭風聲挑起地磚上的殘片,掠過步伐匆匆的行人衣角,溜進所有能夠竄入的縫隙中,無情地帶走生命的溫度。81Please respect copyright.PENANA9RRETwa7lZ
81Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0dEXRMRCz
但那些都被身處溫暖室內的人們隔絕在外。81Please respect copyright.PENANA2HcEXZ9LU5
81Please respect copyright.PENANAJqOYXxg2pu
尤其是被頂尖專業器材所圍繞,接受悉心照護的病患。81Please respect copyright.PENANAcnDpNmcqNr
81Please respect copyright.PENANA1GiFT3a9FU
專職醫藥及化學研究的異都第五區,利用先進技術並以無人機輔助的都立醫院裡,巡房機器人低沉的運轉聲於廊間迴盪,櫃台內側的值班人員目光迷離地盯著螢幕中的表格,最終不敵睡意閉上兩片眼皮。81Please respect copyright.PENANAk9KAO6xmGL
81Please respect copyright.PENANAXpyFVfzS2q
悄然無聲的黑影步入某間病房。81Please respect copyright.PENANARROQcWHge9
81Please respect copyright.PENANA44RmB7v7Pg
顯示著生理數據的儀器於幽闇室內散發螢綠光芒,微弱的提示音鳴響規律節奏,吊掛病床尾端的病歷表姓名欄上,電腦工整的字體打印出一串長名,並標上「異能鎮壓局人員」的特殊註記。81Please respect copyright.PENANAOzMeRwmfqo
81Please respect copyright.PENANAAMsmNsdD6L
黑影緩慢地掠過病床被單下的起伏,於闔眼休憩的那人枕邊投下森然寒意,病床旁側隔著大小監測儀器的窗框外,清冷的圓月自飄離的黑雲底下洩出一輪單薄光暈。81Please respect copyright.PENANA1mG40w7iAH
81Please respect copyright.PENANA5BZWYB9NoT
當窗外傾下的冷白映上鋒利刃身,高舉的刀光猛力揮下的剎那,刻印著古老符文的掌心緊緊擒錮來者持刀的手腕。81Please respect copyright.PENANAieEgFxB6aI
81Please respect copyright.PENANAczFKe5Uzp3
不知何時睜開的、淬鍊了鎏金的黃金瞳眸朝來者投去審度的視線。81Please respect copyright.PENANA9G9CES7PId
81Please respect copyright.PENANAGhLHFMcYTW
猝不及防地對上那雙凌厲目光,來者先是一怔,而後緩慢說道:「阿圖姆大……不,阿圖姆.伊本.唐科.阿勒西格勒,請你去死。」81Please respect copyright.PENANAaSfYmnOVrC
81Please respect copyright.PENANAQqHOuR12mE
病房窗簾被冷冽的夜風揚起透明遮罩,綽綽蒼白月光下,眼前的人擁有阿圖姆所熟悉的面孔及嗓音,但對方的舉止卻令他感到困惑與陌生。81Please respect copyright.PENANA5B0nlPWf7P
81Please respect copyright.PENANA4FYDie5V2d
於是阿圖姆薄唇微啟:「阿密特,你所憤怒的對象是誰?」81Please respect copyright.PENANArYM3q2vteF
81Please respect copyright.PENANAuzXJhgdsFc
聞言,被稱作阿密特的男人幽幽開口:「除阿勒西格勒外,別無他人。」不等阿圖姆回應,阿密特接連吐出威嚇般的低沉怒吼,「那群褻瀆屍體與靈魂的暴徒,盲目於犬頭神明的狂信者!」81Please respect copyright.PENANAIdVK6oBOKm
81Please respect copyright.PENANAVauHUEWGuM
「為了鞏固受人追捧的威信,凶暴地示範保存屍體的方式,甚至不惜使用活著的人類,那時的安納希可只有五歲!」81Please respect copyright.PENANAGVPt4J6gNs
81Please respect copyright.PENANAnxfgTMvrsp
在那片流傳古老信仰的土地上,代代相承的祭祀保留了原始文明的執念,縱使星移斗轉,人們仍未忘卻過去,以貫徹舊時代的血腥祭儀為豪。81Please respect copyright.PENANAl7EeZMso6i
81Please respect copyright.PENANA6nUMc5bwL1
似是想起了什麼記憶,阿密特下意識地握緊腿邊的拳頭,眼裡的憎恨恍若化作實質的刀尖狠狠刺入榻上之人的胸口,「你才不是什麼神明!這個世界上,從來都只有醜惡的人類。」81Please respect copyright.PENANAIDXwrOGPfU
81Please respect copyright.PENANAKL7ycRJyVo
隨著這句控訴語末落下,阿密特的意識回到數十年前……81Please respect copyright.PENANAKPstlC6HME
81Please respect copyright.PENANAxEg1eJPlyO
熊熊燃燒的火簇照亮森幽墓穴的滿室壁畫,薰香繚繞的莊嚴獸首神像下,混雜腥紅鮮血的未知液體順流淌下刻滿歷史的陳舊溝槽,所經之處那無法用現存言語形容的氣味刺激鼻腔,令在場的人們紛紛彎腰作嘔。81Please respect copyright.PENANA97wuQMr709
81Please respect copyright.PENANAgS3wyCzmb1
愚蠢而又自大、慈愛而又弱小,生而罪惡的人類為何能被稱作萬物之靈?81Please respect copyright.PENANAs4flRYBeoC
81Please respect copyright.PENANArqkVrI6xUn
即便蘊含尚未完全解析的潛能,人類的軀殼始終擁有極限,當盲目的信仰成為某個族群賴以維生的養分,為了容納存在於高位層面的精神,阿勒西格勒一族使用意外獲得的「技術」成功製作出一具容器。81Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6RdQYcBoT
81Please respect copyright.PENANARCzloikHOV
那是否定其人格、尊嚴與生命,只為背負某一群人的冀望(詛咒)而誕生的肉體。81Please respect copyright.PENANAnFRLAVX8JF
81Please respect copyright.PENANASCfRNtHA0H
無人對此等瘋狂的行為提出質疑。81Please respect copyright.PENANANIhrcPwLEf
81Please respect copyright.PENANATmu7uszeWO
阿密特至今仍清晰地記得,當時的人們眼裡有雀躍、有敬畏、有感激、有狂喜──唯獨沒有恐懼,須臾間,強烈的厭惡感自他的心底油然而生。81Please respect copyright.PENANA533qHR9tpN
81Please respect copyright.PENANADvGWArZ2Dd
「明明出生時是個死屍,順從命運回到亡靈的國度就好,但你卻動了起來。」就好像那個「嬰孩」在睜眼的瞬間成為「神明」……阿密特將這句話留在心中。81Please respect copyright.PENANASnNofqImsS
81Please respect copyright.PENANAS89uxD2cvM
「無論是阿勒西格勒、你或是我,都噁心得讓我想吐。」81Please respect copyright.PENANARKsEQqAr6c
81Please respect copyright.PENANA57aQCnRhtb
取得阿勒西格勒家族的信任是第一步。81Please respect copyright.PENANAM6CpC2InXT
以變形異能與刻意展現的狂信,他成功被選為「阿密特」隨侍其側。81Please respect copyright.PENANACVjoJgTz9X
81Please respect copyright.PENANAJiARt7I6I6
讓「人神」離開阿勒西格勒的保護圈是第二步。81Please respect copyright.PENANADiAhQNcx8g
利用家主那一輩結下的孽緣產生的詛咒,緩慢地、計劃性地引導其遠離故鄉。81Please respect copyright.PENANAcEGceMln4V
81Please respect copyright.PENANAxJbImqBvdG
最後便是將對方的死亡偽裝成解除咒語時的意外。81Please respect copyright.PENANAsVO1PyIKdd
81Please respect copyright.PENANAC5y4uekiDf
考量到過早下手會暴露自己,阿密特耐心地蟄伏了兩個年頭,預計等待阿勒西格勒鞭長莫及之時,親手毀滅他們的神話。81Please respect copyright.PENANAFbjAbQ27pc
81Please respect copyright.PENANAzTX7cf9ufh
但過程中出現的變數實在太多,每當他認為的時機到來,阿圖姆身邊總有注視其的旁人在場,從而暫緩他復仇的步調。81Please respect copyright.PENANAQkFjLoY87v
81Please respect copyright.PENANAkC8te4iY1E
面對阿密特一道又一道的淒厲指控,默然許久的阿圖姆沒有放開他的手,而是緩緩坐起身來,直視對方的金色虹膜流淌著灼陽般的光輝,「殺死我,你的憤怒就會消失嗎?」81Please respect copyright.PENANARCZeLtnbGB
81Please respect copyright.PENANAshTmCaS38i
「當然不會,我的憤怒將一直持續至生命的盡頭,但至少我摧毀了阿勒西格勒的信仰。」81Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0kIxZpesf
81Please respect copyright.PENANAIHdAYf6B8w
「那我就不能任由你這麼做了,阿密特、不……」阿圖姆收回阻擋對方動作的手,道出一個名字。81Please respect copyright.PENANAZau62r4DCT
81Please respect copyright.PENANAAQPOwKkQN4
當自己早已拋棄的真名於耳畔響起,阿密特倏地睜大了雙眸,「……為何你知曉這個名字?」81Please respect copyright.PENANATF1ClnznuH
81Please respect copyright.PENANAr56VCYMJxm
從服侍阿圖姆的那一刻起,他便不曾使用過那個名字(真名),更無人會告知人神這項毫無價值的資訊。81Please respect copyright.PENANAH73SQaS2vp
81Please respect copyright.PENANACznvXHToe8
然而,阿圖姆正確地喚出僅有「阿密特」才知曉的名諱。81Please respect copyright.PENANAL9aAJLJ1nv
81Please respect copyright.PENANAY1frbYHtya
是另一個異能?不,阿圖姆.伊本.唐科.阿勒西格勒的異能效果「阿密特」再清楚不過──是絕對無關於獲得他姓名的能力。81Please respect copyright.PENANA3KqdFimgcN
81Please respect copyright.PENANAhCYHeZZcoH
這個認知使「阿密特」赫然發覺自己相信的事物失去掌控,一股莫名的驚疑倏地竄上男人心頭。81Please respect copyright.PENANAbZgtcSlAeS
81Please respect copyright.PENANAPQOjYtyT3P
將這份蠻橫而霸道的畏懼加諸於男人身上的存在,則彷彿渾然未察般道出空靈的語調:81Please respect copyright.PENANAXKeZmNV7cJ
81Please respect copyright.PENANAHmrqlZprmZ
「人類將未知以及不合理歸咎於神明,過去它是不可掌握的力量,得以被寄予憎恨和懊悔,如今它以科技為名,仍舊強大且難以控制,人類在崇拜與信仰其的行為上,古今往來沒有任何不同。」81Please respect copyright.PENANAB0SCf7ufL2
81Please respect copyright.PENANAZhOr632fkm
阿圖姆那恍如穿透男人的血肉之軀,凝視其靈魂的金眸輕眨,夾帶獨特腔調的低沉嗓音這麼宣告:「所以,我必須繼續存在,並作為人類的精神依託承受咎責。」81Please respect copyright.PENANAXpvsBSXsBJ
81Please respect copyright.PENANAyZF0jv1IDr
聞言,男人怔愣地開闔唇瓣,在一番長久的遲疑過後,擠出一句乾澀的質問:「……那麼,對於企圖弑神的人類,神明會降下怎樣的懲罰?」81Please respect copyright.PENANAXYRFyrSCG7
81Please respect copyright.PENANAu9zJZT9gKP
「綜觀人類的歷史上,不乏意圖毀滅神話之人,但隨後締造新神話的,也正是人類。」語畢,阿圖姆向尋求問責的男人下達判決:「此處並無得擔待降罪者。」81Please respect copyright.PENANA0aQZ4nIMkr
81Please respect copyright.PENANArN1ChgZTow
男人沉默片會,最終於離去的前一刻,留下如斯呢喃:「我終究無法理解,像你這種人……不、祢果然並非此世之物──」81Please respect copyright.PENANArCkSa4984Q
