在午前的猛陽照耀下,凌亂的足跡遍佈沙灘。昨天屹立於此的茅屋已經全數拆除,木條一部份舖在地上,砌出巨大的SOS字樣;另一部份充當木柴,升起一溜黑煙劃過清澄的藍色天空。323Please respect copyright.PENANAqQjuxIxUJF
323Please respect copyright.PENANABbgdIWNAmd
SOS不遠處的樹蔭下,祐嘉屈膝而坐,她看著掌上的黑色小塊,回想昨天初秋的說話:323Please respect copyright.PENANAkLYlGGS45k
323Please respect copyright.PENANAPnEGVyjKma
「有人在監視我們。雖然不知道監視者的目的,但我們漂流到島上這回事,並不是一場意外。」323Please respect copyright.PENANAzIrXSqAzlY
323Please respect copyright.PENANAZC4KNs6Azq
「要不要跟大小姐報告,是你的選擇。緊記要謹慎行事。因為,我們不能確定『發現被監視』這回事,是不是監視者們容許的。」323Please respect copyright.PENANAs46Sr5eFOE
323Please respect copyright.PENANAfjX96mk6xj
「我會繼續往島裡探索,你們不用費神找我,有新發現我會再回來。」323Please respect copyright.PENANAbSho6c1z4D
323Please respect copyright.PENANAUWq6SOqC60
「能量飲品,我拿兩罐囉,當作阻止跳崖的報酬。」323Please respect copyright.PENANAm9dJYkAk9o
323Please respect copyright.PENANAiCs6qOXotP
針孔攝錄機在祐嘉的掌心翻來覆去,動作毫無意義,可是祐嘉覺得一旦停下來,就代表自己必須下定決心。323Please respect copyright.PENANACegnDA0zSK
323Please respect copyright.PENANAmrWEsB2izs
把現況告知大小姐是板上釘釘的事情,祐嘉並不質疑其必要性。需要煩惱的點是,如何避過監視,安全地進行報告。323Please respect copyright.PENANAJMitZGek73
323Please respect copyright.PENANAR7z9D8rzSX
沙灘環境空曠,理論上很難設置監視器,應為最佳的對話場地。然而,昨晚開始,大小姐決定將沙灘的據點移師至廢城裡,城中地形複雜,有太多看不見的角落,監視者的視線根本防不勝防。
能夠不驚動監視者,態度自然的把大小姐引到沙灘來,自己的頭腦真的能想出如此慎密的計劃嗎?323Please respect copyright.PENANAtf4SqKi5NX
323Please respect copyright.PENANAeUsBmuST64
換作是Hina會如何應對呢?323Please respect copyright.PENANAEOOWb0qAoT
323Please respect copyright.PENANANvsOwVauwz
擅於社交的她一定能設計完美說辭,快想想,Hina會怎樣說?323Please respect copyright.PENANAdNgAUSFtP1
323Please respect copyright.PENANARZoNJx521d
踏過沙子的腳步聲從背後傳來,把祐嘉的心神拉回現實。她將針孔攝錄機收入口袋,轉頭面向步聲的主人……323Please respect copyright.PENANApfkW1XhY0p
323Please respect copyright.PENANAvJZQnqBGmD
人工心臟停頓了兩秒……323Please respect copyright.PENANAaRRId7PJFz
323Please respect copyright.PENANADrJHvaJL04
黑色少女的影子蓋過祐嘉的臉,鏡片後銳利的眼光直穿她的靈魂之窗。
323Please respect copyright.PENANAXkTdWvued2
「紅楓。」祐嘉開聲才發覺自己的喉嚨在顫抖,「找我有事嗎?」323Please respect copyright.PENANALqf42K8LAg
323Please respect copyright.PENANAk0KqYATkWm
「我不是叫紅楓,那是我原型的名字。」323Please respect copyright.PENANA9B8IssVW5Q
323Please respect copyright.PENANA5Nz5G425Cc
「對不起。」323Please respect copyright.PENANABzObLcXeM8
323Please respect copyright.PENANAK97Kyry8vC
祐嘉反射性的道歉,語氣謙卑得連自己都感到陌生。323Please respect copyright.PENANA7AlggPfXHN
323Please respect copyright.PENANAfAvfQ5My41
「現在,一個人嗎?」她說。323Please respect copyright.PENANArz3ZqA4012
323Please respect copyright.PENANA1JpJprZ3CR
「只有我一個。」嘴巴著了魔似的。323Please respect copyright.PENANAf2DgAhDOna
323Please respect copyright.PENANAVe8HNr5eX0
「太好了,沒有人會打擾我們。」323Please respect copyright.PENANAGRyVR5vgrC
323Please respect copyright.PENANAsbDtuSEKcu
憑空出現一個正方形將紅楓的臉框住。驚訝的眨眼後,祐嘉便意識到那是只有自己看見的電子視窗。鮮豔紅字顯示在正方形旁邊,三角形内的驚嘆號刺眼地閃爍。323Please respect copyright.PENANAcuKBDhT7kk

那是距今二十多年前,一個連原型祐嘉都未出生的時代,發生了一件極為轟動的兇殺案。一男一女於單位内慘遭殺害,兇手是男死者的未婚妻——紅楓。323Please respect copyright.PENANA3LadxTjQwS
323Please respect copyright.PENANAAUmqkq96nA
她的行兇動機是男方出軌,女死者則是小三。紅楓在審訊中坦誠認罪,最後因為行兇手法殘暴而被判死刑。紅楓放棄上訴,一年後於監獄内接受注射死刑。其名字像墨汁滴入一缸清水般,隨時間丟淡就此被世人遺忘,直到半年後……323Please respect copyright.PENANAVkD2cR4xAJ
323Please respect copyright.PENANAOC9WEjRVCd
發生了全球首宗仿真人殺人事件,死者是一男一女,兇手是男方的仿真情人,靈魂倒模的原型是紅楓。323Please respect copyright.PENANA4GblRx4XNi
323Please respect copyright.PENANAiIPcnUzmLw
原來,紅楓在犯下駭人聽聞的謀殺以前,曾為籌備結婚費用而進行靈魂倒模。初代仿真情人使用的靈魂倒模為五人,紅楓就是當中的『小鳥依人』型號。
發生紅楓事件時,正是阿馬茲科技公司初推出仿真情人的時期。為避免影響公眾對仿真情人的信心,阿馬茲科技沒有回收紅楓系列,反而刻意隱瞞實情,導致紅楓系列被大量生產。323Please respect copyright.PENANAhmJEmTNG9A
323Please respect copyright.PENANAhCWhE9Otpq
隨時間經過,類似的謀殺事件持續發生。直到政府司法部起訴阿馬茲科技並進行強制回收,因紅楓系列而受嚴重肢體傷害或死亡人數高達八十人,紅楓系列對認證情人的殺害率為四成。
以前,紅楓是只存在於文字裡的人物,被害人也只是籠統的數字。連身處的年代也不同,活在生死線對岸的人。現在,那個書中人就站在面前,平面資訊徹底化成了立體現實。323Please respect copyright.PENANATImgBP8rD9
323Please respect copyright.PENANAkvOq1BTJAs
紅楓雙臂低垂,木訥的站在兩步距離外。祐嘉的手不自然的往半空揮動,試圖關閉警告視窗的舉動引起了紅楓注意。323Please respect copyright.PENANAUpJ8Hql93K
323Please respect copyright.PENANAVKqnlTul7c
「關閉視窗的選項在手心。」她提示道。323Please respect copyright.PENANAm40jpdmcWZ
323Please respect copyright.PENANAg7gVOiqiPi
祐嘉動作生硬的按下掌心内的按鈕,紅楓臉上的正方形終於消失。323Please respect copyright.PENANARzxQeuNmqJ
323Please respect copyright.PENANAiQ3Z8LTqWp
「聽說只要我接近到三米内,你們的系統便會開始警報,真是個著重安全的設計。」紅楓的語氣平坦不帶半分感情,無法得知此話到底出於自嘲還是抱怨。323Please respect copyright.PENANAsAyyfqGmPg
323Please respect copyright.PENANA8fRuXltexP
「是啦,紅光閃個不停很惱人,謝謝你。」祐嘉調整表情,模仿Hina的交際式笑容。然而,從紅楓的眉毛得知,她的模仿相當拙劣。323Please respect copyright.PENANAaRdPlCE27s
323Please respect copyright.PENANAif7ja1D9Av
「找我有事嗎?」在氣氛更加尷尬前,她趕緊推進話題。323Please respect copyright.PENANAUK6REi9ect
323Please respect copyright.PENANASDCe1Qc0lP
「有問題要問你,」她說,「你喜歡Hina嗎?」323Please respect copyright.PENANAVkr7KvH4vC
323Please respect copyright.PENANA2ImJSWX7SU
氣氛由尷尬轉變為難以理解。323Please respect copyright.PENANA92pMpFx4GT
323Please respect copyright.PENANAKRzbCbCxl9
「哈?」323Please respect copyright.PENANADzCb60cpJf
323Please respect copyright.PENANAMQqO4fTZ5M
相同的問題假如出自櫻或安德魯,甚至是大小姐之口,祐嘉應該會原地爆炸,尷尬得無地自容吧。然而,現在祐嘉的心脈成了水平線,嘴巴如上水的魚般半開半合。323Please respect copyright.PENANAmT7NgjMqzY
323Please respect copyright.PENANAhcYUhQosld
「我的咬字發音不清晰嗎?」紅楓語氣平淡,更顯字句的壓迫力,「我再問一次,你喜歡Hina嗎?」323Please respect copyright.PENANAnyzOroOPrh
323Please respect copyright.PENANAbS5u3vkyqc
祐嘉並非『不懂』回答,她是『不想』回答。感覺無論承認與否,都等同把自己最脆弱的弱點置於刀鋒上。323Please respect copyright.PENANAeMemcBiO7U
323Please respect copyright.PENANAKhsqCh6Ejs
她直視紅楓銳利的眼睛,嘗試看透隱藏於瞳孔背後的意圖。她不敢相信自己正在跟殺人犯對視,就像一場眼力的拔河,只要一刻移開視線便輸了,等於向對方示弱。323Please respect copyright.PENANAk6qfINjVNw
323Please respect copyright.PENANAuiBSqTTg7z
紅楓的眼睛烏黑深邃,與白皙的眼眶形成強烈對比。線條鮮明的睫毛像長矛列陣,充滿了敵意和侵略性。水珠在眼角凝聚,一條河流劃過了臉頰……323Please respect copyright.PENANAAelFnL3byI
323Please respect copyright.PENANAfXRLsBsEma
她在哭泣……323Please respect copyright.PENANAMGMR7hBVkG
323Please respect copyright.PENANAPQWMtXzhhZ
紅楓跪到祐嘉面前,緊緊的抱住了她。也許是黑色水手服特別吸熱,讓這個擁抱十分温暖。323Please respect copyright.PENANAN4dmoNZ9dg
323Please respect copyright.PENANANHw5s8hFAB
「那個…這是…甚麼?」祐嘉不知雙手該往那處擺,使姿勢十分彆扭。323Please respect copyright.PENANAeVlTUnpwcS
323Please respect copyright.PENANArvIC40lkQW
祐嘉慢慢的,試探性的把手降到紅楓背上。她瘦削的身體在顫抖,下巴少氣無力的壓住她的肩膀,在她的耳邊飲泣。323Please respect copyright.PENANAiO5q2EJTms
323Please respect copyright.PENANAKIqjkW1KBE
「等等,為甚麼要哭?」說話聽回祐嘉耳中,她才發覺自己在哽咽。323Please respect copyright.PENANAOMRfZIiUSS
323Please respect copyright.PENANA7OPyg7HeRJ
「為甚麼要哭?」這次,她是問自己。323Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZRUQmYbtd
323Please respect copyright.PENANAWSqvJQjRN1
她仰起脖子,好像就能避免淚水突破表面張力。然而,當熱流劃過臉頰,界線被衝破了。323Please respect copyright.PENANAu8F4CmmDEj
323Please respect copyright.PENANAFRgMIExTv0
祐嘉放聲嘶叫,十指握起兩個布團,紅楓的上衣也跟著歪斜變形。323Please respect copyright.PENANAHMGJzRwVQ5
323Please respect copyright.PENANAH0lgLXV4ha
「我知道哭是沒用的……!所以我不哭……!我想要保持理性,我們才認識不到半天…何來的感情基礎讓我崩潰啊……!」323Please respect copyright.PENANAoaBpxNjsD6

323Please respect copyright.PENANAQDgrMzD2L8
紅楓輕輕拍背,抱著哆嗦的祐嘉,「盡情哭吧,沒有人看見。全部發洩出來,我會接受你的一切。」323Please respect copyright.PENANAWUelgjvYrJ
323Please respect copyright.PENANA9nG9JXvrJa
到底過了多久?沒有人去計算。
也許是十分鐘?或許半個鐘?
不知道。323Please respect copyright.PENANAKsJCGJGOPE
323Please respect copyright.PENANAPlG5SKxkvp
只是,對祐嘉而言彷如隔世。323Please respect copyright.PENANAWZf8SUJGdZ

斷開的理智線重新連接,祐嘉放開手中的布團。紅楓也鬆開了環抱,向後退半個身。323Please respect copyright.PENANAa41FB4a6Fk
323Please respect copyright.PENANAr8tdv41Xxo
祐嘉看著紅楓肩上一大片淚痕,罪疚油然而生。323Please respect copyright.PENANAdZmUxlIDsC
323Please respect copyright.PENANAOxMUoMKcQr
「抱歉。」323Please respect copyright.PENANAO0yotj9xjR

祐嘉脫下眼鏡,狼狽的搓揉眼睛將淚水抹去,「Hina說的對,你不是壞人,謝謝。」323Please respect copyright.PENANAyVKJIBKNZf
323Please respect copyright.PENANAB7b95g3hWn
紅楓的表情帶著一點意外,「她,是唯一願意直視我的人。對我這種人,她依然釋出善意。因此,我會為她的離開感到傷心難過。」323Please respect copyright.PENANALI5aQUKWgb
323Please respect copyright.PENANAAuT5Cx4CQ3

「為了甚麼?」323Please respect copyright.PENANAq3Ldqwqu0X
323Please respect copyright.PENANAuomWh3NHrj
祐嘉的手還在抖,害她不能把眼鏡扶正。鏡框歪歪的架在紅潤的鼻梁上。「我誤信謠言以為你是可怕的人,剛才保持警戒的自己簡直像笨蛋一樣。」323Please respect copyright.PENANAoAmJwm7CbQ
323Please respect copyright.PENANARtD9ppigxN
紅楓沒有表現明顯的表情,她說,「從昌那兒聽到關於我的事,看來我的原型和同系列的仿真人鬧得滿城風雨。我並非要辯護,只是,她們對我而言都是別的個體,比較像母親和姊妹的感覺。也許我們的思考模式相同,但不代表我會做出和她們一樣的行徑。」323Please respect copyright.PENANAOKMXKJ47qW
323Please respect copyright.PENANAGPK68o7cch
「我相信你。在政府執行強制回收時,有不少紅楓系列沒有犯罪紀錄,民間也有不少抗議聲音。我相信你是好的紅楓。」323Please respect copyright.PENANAztsFgVNRep

「好的紅楓……」她咬住下唇,表現出明顯的焦慮,「難說,有時我也不相信自己。」323Please respect copyright.PENANAkIM5oTopjG
323Please respect copyright.PENANA76pVKNT2pR
祐嘉被弄糊塗了,難道紅楓此行的目的不是破除誤解建立信任嗎?「甚麼意思?」323Please respect copyright.PENANAVZqgkRUG2Q
323Please respect copyright.PENANAKUlF3TRlPr
「我的屬性是『恐怖情人』,是,有的男人就好這一味。」323Please respect copyright.PENANA5yziAmqasg

「慢著,紅楓系列不是停產了嗎?」323Please respect copyright.PENANA9N5z5bJb9p
323Please respect copyright.PENANAKbWqMBgcLO
「只是換成地下生產罷了,『禁忌的仿真情人』是鮮明的綽頭,男人肯為此出高價。萬一被抓到,只要說是盗版的便行。話說回來,你認為恐怖情人的關鍵是甚麼?你可以老實說。」323Please respect copyright.PENANAqN5HM8JcZG
323Please respect copyright.PENANAerBDUt21YU
「為情傷人?為了獨佔愛人不在乎偏激手段……」祐嘉越說越小聲。323Please respect copyright.PENANAP3rgXn7SiI
323Please respect copyright.PENANAuij5A1ZMu3
紅楓沒有表情,應該沒有生氣。323Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4F1QU7oJf
323Please respect copyright.PENANA3W3NVj5jtR
「說對了一半,關鍵點是『情人』的存在。缺乏迷戀對象的我,無法發揮本性。打個比喻,玩心理測驗時沒有符合自己的選項,唯有勉強選一個比較喜歡的,這樣。我作為『恐怖情人』的一面沒有被啟動,就像困在蛹裡不能羽化的……嗯,飛蛾。」323Please respect copyright.PENANAalrNoXDXJB
323Please respect copyright.PENANAnsIJh8sodJ
「必須解除大家的誤會才行。」祐嘉主動拉起紅楓的手,「把你的情況告訴大小姐吧,她很明白事理,一定會願意幫你解釋,讓大家接納你。」323Please respect copyright.PENANAtyTtjMrsrd
323Please respect copyright.PENANApE6FYaVvlL
「明白事理嗎……」紅楓臉上閃過一個表情,轉瞬即逝,那是不屑的冷笑,「就這樣吧,她們是值得信賴的人。你無須在意我的感受,我習慣孤獨。」323Please respect copyright.PENANA0Sbc2evno4
323Please respect copyright.PENANAz4DSXdIkhS
祐嘉全身一抖,好像人工心臟被針扎到,「大小姐跟你說過甚麼嗎?」323Please respect copyright.PENANAwuwKg4Ym4m

「祐嘉,我心領你的好意,但請不要跟她們對質。她們是高等仿真人,擁有全部原型時的記憶。也許,我的姊妹曾直接或間接傷害過她們。在弄清楚事情的原由前,你不應該先入為主胡亂批判。」323Please respect copyright.PENANA7HtbYPEMXx
323Please respect copyright.PENANAcbW5xOywgi
祐嘉搔搔鼻子,怒火被澆熄而有點失去方向,「既然本人不在乎,我也沒有生氣的基礎了。不過,假如以後被找麻煩,我一定會站在你那邊。」323Please respect copyright.PENANA4NB0abTe7M
