翌日，少婦不畏山路辛勞地再次跋涉而下，卻沒有攜帶她重要而必要的藥箱，她只是為了看到──425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVnO6nYQeb
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfChsBVR44R
為了親眼確認，那憑空消失的魔物到底是不是真實存在。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLFDRYfz9M
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRa8nx7xha
穗作收割後所留下的田陌空地，似乎有什麼物體搖搖晃晃地伸展而出，將空氣攪成一團爛糊，定神一看，卻只是一陣風颺起。一片片的陰影在地面嬉鬧竄流，然而抬頭所見卻是秋高氣爽的天空……425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eAnenNM8g
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PeY3RKYXB
有許多聲音在低笑說著她聽不懂的語言，也聽不見，只覺得震耳欲聾。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRf7cMlxl4
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROgRVJ6fPr
小末所發現的『卵』再也沒有看見過，而她本人也無任何異常，只是偶爾會大呼小叫地瘋狂歡跳。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2D7XwJ06B
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYbaM06T4d
這裡有許多東西，少婦強烈地感受到，卻也同等強烈地自認為是錯覺。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoO3I75eEU
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXNqjuEBVk
不該再想了……要當作沒見過那種生物……425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f2UXGJeg8
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrluVQyZFGh
自己已不再是過去的那個人了，所以，不應該再看到那種東西的。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgsTg8A98d
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dMnGn54MI
少婦強迫自己鎮定，終於，很快地這片山谷又恢復平日所熟悉的景象。她鬆了口氣，上前向村人問道：「小末呢？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnFslst4fv
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1eZ4VRymn
村人愣了一下，「小末？是誰啊？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGTQIWWPYr
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S87mMDXxm
「……就…大作家的么子…」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2s6noQs1c
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qyq3vHtym
「大作啊…他不是只有三個兒子……而且他妻子已經……」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrNxiWxhW6
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPWR1jkb4a
村人的回答碎裂了支撐她思緒的細微意志，就這樣薄弱地摔落地面，把一切不屬於塵事的叫囂與陰影從地底喚醒，它們鑽入天際，歡樂地歌舞著。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8jdOKj9bl
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA8TZz5upH
小末狂笑著從田埂的另一方跑了過來，繞了少婦一圈，又叫嘯著奔到另一頭去。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebPKt3LhNW
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xGQLteFaY
「那不就是小末嗎？」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ujfGSMTX9
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ4rGqbgRT
「是啊，是小末啊。」村人毫無猶疑地回答。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd5eZb9k03
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM0KYITEHl
他們對於異象完全無所覺，順其自然地成了異象的一部份，只有自己……425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo6POTYGov
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqVthHr6DY
她潰敗地逃回山林。秋葉紛落、草木枯黃，山林內依舊祥靜如夢醒，即使回頭俯望底下的山谷，也只是普通的村落聚居，沒有任何不安。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbmEya8Mcz
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vpdtNZuS7
方才的事也不像是親身所經歷。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEr2NDl1Xc
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR87oxZvMQv
回到自家小屋中，也就早已遺忘了所有的夢魘。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhfUPhtfcD
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW8A9aDWIY
現今的生活還是如同她所冀求的一般，心中也十分平靜。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszC4IJZj3j
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmROHgY5fKs
然後，熟稔地開始檢選藥材，有些烹煮、有些磨成膏粉，她還得治療一隻受傷的大白貓呢。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlSv6tOnsH
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWEE9Euwys
大白貓的男人在白天絕不出門，一到晚上便會鑽入暗林裡獵補山禽野獸。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNQ3XX4eQj
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEjBDxP4yW
他中毒極深，除非是真正對藥與毒有專精如己的人，否則任是得到了如何珍貴的藥材也將束手無策。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPYRdrsRSW
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodaH3VQaH8
僅管那隻大白貓一雙血瞳是如何兇暴孤僻，最後還是得乖乖地在自己面前把一整帖苦藥給乖乖全數吞下，抱怨不得半聲。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7HMrecB1q
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYXzUUuNRp
少婦獨自沉靜地坐在幽暗的小屋內，耐心地等待爐燄慢慢將藥湯熬煮得濃燙，以及狩獵完回來得喝下這壺湯藥的大白貓。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWMubYQZfF
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkLM2LSsdi
隔了兩日之後，少婦再次背起藥箱走下山頭，然後，一如過往為村民治病與傾聽他們的交談。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWxtgV1o3T
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFi4f4WINs
沒有什麼異樣，也不再有魔物出現。甚至原本該注意小末的事都不復記憶。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyyOlCzHoS
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4YNU6IkV0
入秋了，晚風開始吹得冰涼，而西落的日光也更是紅得耀眼，農收的男人皮膚被染出一層通紅。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5qBna6miV
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03ukRYWbfa
穀子被堆在空地上曝塞，入夜前又得忙著收拾在穀缸內。女人們紛紛拿出禦寒的衣物來縫補，小孩子被吩咐要在臨近的林地收集好可以添火的枯枝。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5llg1ztKoN
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2i1cyLXi9
少婦則拿出一些藥材分贈村人，加入烹煮的食物裡食用能抵禦冬冷的寒氣。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByZeg9QiLG
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr5VdkSAtK
為了明日的存活與生計又再不停地忙錄著，這是身為人類在大地上極其自然的行為。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvwqw5Dsvz
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlgkar9hG3
再自然不過，就這樣一直活下去……425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9apvaQl12
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1p2IS8Q1k
走在山路上，少婦忽然有些依依不捨地回頭，並不怎麼稀奇的天空與雲、與山、與谷、與溪、以及那不起眼的普通村落，都讓人產生矇矓的眷戀。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxxuD3YDAQ
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv6GJQOCJl
或許是有生之年，心中第一次有盈滿的感覺。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxTbvkPtvT
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwc4zrdN5P
別過頭，滿山的秋肅氣氳雖然冰涼，卻溫柔地輕拂過萬物。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRG3l4M9op
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH2xfHTHi3
心中的陰影也彷彿要漸漸被帶走般……425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnsI176Hgl
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b2tEapM8V
「怎麼了？妳要忘了我嗎？」快要被遺忘的臉孔，拖著綿長的身體乘風而來，她模仿著輕風的溫柔，用眾多手臂裡最前端的一雙取下了少婦的帽紗，「妳正在呼喚著黑闇喔……」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO2qsZbCfu
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWW8SMmpuH
少婦看著那微笑的雙瞳與嘴角，呆愣地像是置身夢境之中。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4PyenUWru
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ6eHRZfxj
一直藏匿的臉孔被揭了開來，她的面容一如多年以前姣好而年輕，即使歲月與人事在眼神裡添加了風霜，也只被深藏於黑瞳深處……425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN2Z8rDO2T
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQLigS2A2t
那個曾經是被小末所發現的『卵』、被少婦所喚作『神』的魔物，像是滿意少婦的臉孔而吃吃地天真笑起，「小末的靈魂應該很鮮美吧，對不對？…不過那個沒有辦法拿走，所以…妳的給我……」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwkm4oPWDk
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyDyURfdrK
秋風掃起了滿山紅黃枯葉，也捲起了塵埃，優雅得如同日常一般。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjIsbj9UN6
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdcY4uYMm2
被捉走的，只有她自己而已……425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1So99QXykE

「…櫻姬…」425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W3HC6qUN9
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cKwW9fRAF
當神魔喚出自己的真名時，陳封的記憶也將被打散，如同落葉般地漫天紛飛……425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW635igOq2
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiI1Lts8lf
不知在何處的小末，帶著滿足的笑容蜷曲身體，無數隻蟲蛆忙碌地在她身旁蠕動吐絲、用繭做成了與世隔絕的球殼，於是小末就在殼裡逐漸回溯到她還是小嬰兒的年紀，從腳尖開始一點一滴地退化縮小，成了吐絲造繭的蟲蛆形態，當她完全消失時，薄殼破裂開來，腐土伸出一雙死槁但充滿母愛的手指，把它帶回地底。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HYlatxj6g
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6vLGlwxUA
……自己也化成了一縷輕煙，灑脫地在晴空裡飛散成虛無……425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUNmDf4wVq
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZGRvlBDAZ
無數蟲蛆辛勤地鑽入山道鬆軟土壤，沿路栽植出比花瓣斑斕的彩蛹，它們像是葉片一樣舒捲開來，從中伸出了數支芽臂，頂端密集的頭顱們齊聲地唱著似曾相似的歌謠。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkiKKvcRrP
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavLhaAlLT5
拖曳著贅長羽毛、與葉片同樣嬌小的鳥兒在芽臂與葉片間輕靈地鑽竄，長在鳥腹上以翼作手的小人用爪子抓起唱歌的頭顱飛翔，於是每一顆頭顱都開始尋求自己的軀體，在落到地面時都具有各自喜歡的模樣，骨肉血脈尋求自由地掙脫既定的形體拘束，像是飛禽也像走獸、同時是飛禽走獸都不會有的形態。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4hxATakb5
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx6EaWrDh6
祂們的形體就是祂們的意志。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvxqe8DHta
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65AdeyezFk
整座樹林也是有著自由意志的活物，正愉快地向上伸展枝椏，佔據了整片蒼穹。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Faj8pEAZ1
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ37kqC9fI
數不清的赤紅眼睛在黑暗密林裡燿燿燃起……425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjBPMnFMei

片刻的瞬間，魔物們就驅走了時光的存在。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd2tqg8SmH

這裡是溫暖又靜謐的黑暗世界，是永遠沉睡之處……425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCxedO0d7E
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x1Y1EVZr9
就在這裡沉睡吧，陷入深深的睡眠，連夢境都無法叨擾。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvKazC9QGE
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZhVwMAqaN
……永不清醒……425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakZgBNxJlr

只要在自己的小屋內，靜靜地等著爐火熬藥，心裡就會安心。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKfMUqThhZ
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMgLMb5wgI
苦蘿根、芍香等易生常見的藥用植物，由毒蛇糞土裡生長的劍藤才真正具有解毒功能，而難以栽種的七葉蘭在此地從六葉甚至九葉都有，麻雀花是人畜皆懼的毒物，卻也是治療絕症的極效品……425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBGiw0iSSc
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEazyL4bhFr
一個又一個地細數著所有的藥材，終於連自己心底的喧噪聲音也不再聽聞。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPOMDbYz9O

其餘事物都毫無義意。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z2Es4zifR
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUImcYxmMH
但是受傷的大白貓卻撬開門扉，他中毒極深，除非是真正對藥與毒有專精如己的人，否則任是得到了如何珍貴的藥材也將束手無策……425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx1zRDKvLQ

大白貓敏捷而有力的爪子撕裂魔物們攀上櫻姬的觸手，魔物們不怒反笑地顫動著，他只得用比任何魔物更加血腥的赤瞳來斥退祂們。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm8PkxJcRs
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPi48zJJ9o
野獸般的哮吼刺耳刮骨，黑暗世界變得既破碎又褪色，魔物們大笑，像是妥協地讓出光影與時間，而後鼠竄地一哄而散。425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmhkTzNg1X
