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。83Please respect copyright.PENANAyUWoZ9sYQX
83Please respect copyright.PENANA8NAU1IDfqT
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。83Please respect copyright.PENANASTl67KXyPB
83Please respect copyright.PENANAWuKbVxc5fc
但那些都被身處溫暖室內的人們隔絕在外。83Please respect copyright.PENANAP9J5nOJrzj
83Please respect copyright.PENANAQnqP1EVoGz
尤其是被頂尖專業器材所圍繞,接受悉心照護的病患。83Please respect copyright.PENANA8QvCoHyvAG
83Please respect copyright.PENANAZwcFZPUosQ
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。83Please respect copyright.PENANA2JcChwMiEU
83Please respect copyright.PENANAi06AmHWMyl
悄然無聲的黑影步入某間病房。83Please respect copyright.PENANAhjVMloljwT
83Please respect copyright.PENANAly5UQ1MFFm
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。83Please respect copyright.PENANAUDYX2rsewP
83Please respect copyright.PENANA6hFnsGfRTs
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。83Please respect copyright.PENANA1eYRieY1cP
83Please respect copyright.PENANAGI1HKd1Dgf
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。83Please respect copyright.PENANA15Jla2rSbW
83Please respect copyright.PENANA8HgPnZ9r0N
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。83Please respect copyright.PENANAm4VeFbNCgD
83Please respect copyright.PENANAXYUemwAkum
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。」83Please respect copyright.PENANAe3A4jrqO0e
83Please respect copyright.PENANAgDwCQ4l2si
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。83Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZhKrVe6EV
83Please respect copyright.PENANAzmAsj9hgIN
於是阿圖姆薄唇微啟:「阿密特,你所憤怒的對象是誰?」83Please respect copyright.PENANAIrVkJscnpR
83Please respect copyright.PENANAvGqsr9XiPg
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!」83Please respect copyright.PENANA7yzkRbX8Ed
83Please respect copyright.PENANAA5M3x50JUA
「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!」83Please respect copyright.PENANAomLlVrjd5n
83Please respect copyright.PENANAfAA7CwFrqx
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。83Please respect copyright.PENANAHULqXmWJTA
83Please respect copyright.PENANAt4xNoQVyWB
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。」83Please respect copyright.PENANAXyQ4P5tGVN
83Please respect copyright.PENANA7XCZcOYaDH
隨著這句控訴語末落下,阿密特的意識回到數十年前……83Please respect copyright.PENANAVyeNMdsN11
83Please respect copyright.PENANAmMdp4aFGtS
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。83Please respect copyright.PENANAdUbADz7GDX
83Please respect copyright.PENANAu4ZEr5S00k
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?83Please respect copyright.PENANAK9POyOvXsD
83Please respect copyright.PENANAfd3T4sBo7L
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。83Please respect copyright.PENANAxoG28v0AEh
83Please respect copyright.PENANAEWc91s5Tar
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。83Please respect copyright.PENANAEPXk2UMiJs
83Please respect copyright.PENANA6zci9wQKSZ
無人對此等瘋狂的行為提出質疑。83Please respect copyright.PENANAi98cn2crS0
83Please respect copyright.PENANAZemiVeU63W
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。83Please respect copyright.PENANAbAcHx2oDYT
83Please respect copyright.PENANANT6MffVmWi
「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。83Please respect copyright.PENANA5KFwaDdizk
83Please respect copyright.PENANAncLRID7ife
「無論是阿勒西格勒、你或是我,都噁心得讓我想吐。」83Please respect copyright.PENANAJf6qAatbnE
83Please respect copyright.PENANA2JOAxkQ9vP
取得阿勒西格勒家族的信任是第一步。83Please respect copyright.PENANA0O6K1oNR4Q
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。83Please respect copyright.PENANAuwJFzuZ8f3
83Please respect copyright.PENANAnI2SFiXIlB
讓「人神」離開阿勒西格勒的保護圈是第二步。83Please respect copyright.PENANA8Afs2vFh1X
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。83Please respect copyright.PENANALhHAPIRFAJ
83Please respect copyright.PENANAgt9NmRx4Hi
最後便是將對方的死亡偽裝成解除咒語時的意外。83Please respect copyright.PENANA8vwfzVpFdO
83Please respect copyright.PENANArMHRCoejdE
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。83Please respect copyright.PENANAypLiOWcenm
83Please respect copyright.PENANAjmONSiYZ3I
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。83Please respect copyright.PENANAsz0SpL8Su5
83Please respect copyright.PENANARGLAqLGSqf
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?」83Please respect copyright.PENANA2vU4oBmkX9
83Please respect copyright.PENANAzkA63PYnVo
「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。」83Please respect copyright.PENANANb11NTaLQB
83Please respect copyright.PENANAu88Ybym0NU
「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。83Please respect copyright.PENANA1bCEyPcCDO
83Please respect copyright.PENANANk0vZ8IqXC
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?」83Please respect copyright.PENANAGUAJAFGRM1
83Please respect copyright.PENANAFcSS7IdttE
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。83Please respect copyright.PENANAy4CyLqTaMo
83Please respect copyright.PENANAFL3RFRe95v
然而,阿圖姆正確地喚出僅有「阿密特」才知曉的名諱。83Please respect copyright.PENANAiTtGMUm8JG
83Please respect copyright.PENANA0FARCV8ETh
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。83Please respect copyright.PENANAnJxSfTc3pS
83Please respect copyright.PENANA3EYc5LjIqA
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。83Please respect copyright.PENANA5nCPixcb0D
83Please respect copyright.PENANAvI8OI7pk4q
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:83Please respect copyright.PENANAYPygIwolzb
83Please respect copyright.PENANAc9Xax3Htc3
「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。」83Please respect copyright.PENANA27vjVyJKlU
83Please respect copyright.PENANASO5OuGsUum
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。」83Please respect copyright.PENANAeWssYqNTn9
83Please respect copyright.PENANAXyPrOIVoW6
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?」83Please respect copyright.PENANAznLTaqPFhM
83Please respect copyright.PENANA8pzg1DiYPm
「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。」83Please respect copyright.PENANAQaeQ7SdErd
83Please respect copyright.PENANAbaTVhDEwxO
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──」83Please respect copyright.PENANAkveZMQok0B
