小羽一整晚睡得不穩,思前想後在猜測白爺偵測任務的內容。他神神祕祕的樣子,難道是拯救世界一類的大戰?還是走去黑暗地獄挑戰超級大魔王的準備工夫。那為甚麼那是等級一的初心者任務?454Please respect copyright.PENANA8Paz5YmNmI

第二朝她頂著對黑眼圈,準時去到戲棚報到。白爺早已安坐在昨天那位置,看來心事重重。454Please respect copyright.PENANAR9Qtisw4tc
454Please respect copyright.PENANAgBqJt1R4wo
「早啊,現在出發。」白爺向小羽點點頭。454Please respect copyright.PENANApTXEvUUvjr
454Please respect copyright.PENANAMVJx50ZtZj
「去那裡?」454Please respect copyright.PENANA45N5xn7NMB
454Please respect copyright.PENANAPRP4GGip8Y
「我的家。」454Please respect copyright.PENANAHXIfqCLBDQ
454Please respect copyright.PENANAPJmmc5xiNd
二人穿過側門那幕紅幡,離開運動場,拐個彎又返回大街行人路上。白爺一身古裝長袍定是某種魔法法寶,在陽光底下會變成一件銀白色的長身西裝外套。雖然在三十度的天氣下,這樣穿隨時會中暑而死,但至少不會惹來奇異的目光。而且說實在,小羽覺得白爺的穿著滿酷的。454Please respect copyright.PENANAuvFdGcTR5M
454Please respect copyright.PENANAemhKtqb8fb
「聽聞白爺你以前是個魔神啊,沒有叫那些牛頭馬面幫你做這個偵測任務嗎?」小羽緊貼在白爺後頭,打了個大呵欠,眼睛擠出滴眼淚水。454Please respect copyright.PENANAj6QF8f9ubZ
454Please respect copyright.PENANAkVtiqdKcPb
「牛頭馬面是低級雜差,只會些三腳貓功夫,腦筋又蠢,怎可以靠牠們。」454Please respect copyright.PENANAaO32e4I8XF
454Please respect copyright.PENANAfixl3ReAyw
白爺口裡輕鬆,小羽回想那群半人怪物,手瓜起𦟌,可不是『三腳貓功夫』的質素吧。小羽打量著白爺單薄的身形,開始懷疑他怎樣當死神的。454Please respect copyright.PENANAPmuKQBfb5q
454Please respect copyright.PENANAlgfAyYS88j
「小羽妳是為甚麼要當起死神的?」454Please respect copyright.PENANAr4Bx7KEgDs
454Please respect copyright.PENANAEXdDrPXQZk
「不是說了嗎?我要當閻王嘛。」熟稔後的白爺其實沒有外表般冷漠,小羽把握機會解釋下去:「我哥哥意外被怪物襲擊,靈魂意外離開了肉體。可是他回魂返來時,才發覺他原來的身體被火葬掉了...」454Please respect copyright.PENANAD2xFbFzHed
454Please respect copyright.PENANA0SDYlLk8T8
「意外?這世上沒有意外。」白爺嘴巴扁成一條橫線:「這叫命運。」454Please respect copyright.PENANAZkQUmq9PvJ
454Please respect copyright.PENANATcXhgIX33w
小羽總覺白爺喜歡把簡單的事情說得很玄,大概覺得這樣交談很酷。454Please respect copyright.PENANAP1HK59EYF0
454Please respect copyright.PENANAMbH8tP2XrN
「真的有命運嗎?」454Please respect copyright.PENANA2XwoGATw4i
454Please respect copyright.PENANAexu7GoL91y
「當然有。食幾多著幾多,整定的。」454Please respect copyright.PENANAWY58PVmXiY
454Please respect copyright.PENANAsNsLkbxCFN
小羽暗暗嘖了一聲,心裡暗地跟自己說,才不會為別人的信仰影響自己。她理直氣壯的說:「人家要當上閻王,才有辦法幫哥哥起死回生...」454Please respect copyright.PENANATNpw2JphXv
454Please respect copyright.PENANAFk1Mvr2Em3
白爺眼珠一翻,上下打量這個不自量力的小女孩。她說話時把頭抬得老高,丁點禮貌也沒有。但看她臉上堅定得近乎傻更更的表情,看來是認真的。454Please respect copyright.PENANAbrecKkw4Rx
454Please respect copyright.PENANAlVvxyPzJHa
白爺從腰間拿出紙扇在手,無意識的拍了幾下,實事求是的道:「自古以來,帝王將相、販夫走卒,夢想成為魔神籍此起死回生者,何止千萬...」小羽瞪著明亮的雙眼:「你自己不就是魔神嘛。即是有可能做得到啦。」
白爺苦笑一下:「妳知道要怎樣才能當上閻王嗎?」454Please respect copyright.PENANA8EzCtyOSFu
454Please respect copyright.PENANA0GD76H5f5y
「少少啦。」454Please respect copyright.PENANAfaxPCzOwVy
454Please respect copyright.PENANAsxgZV6ys0b
他們在紅綠燈前停下,等待一輛小巴駛過,「咱們靈界遠東有大大小小七個國家,我們一直以來都相處得很融洽...嗯,至少算是河水不犯井水吧。而閻王爺就是這七個國家的總統領。我們眾國的元首都會訓練一群有志之士出來闖關,這些人就是死神。」白爺又用他那看穿心思的眼光打量小羽:「本身長生殿的閻王大人職責賞善罰惡,負責決定亡靈的去向;而他們可以按立魔神去統籌其他死神,專門捉拿反抗靈界規矩的逃犯、怪獸甚至大魔王。兩者一文一武,互補不足。」454Please respect copyright.PENANAmeHlWKP142
454Please respect copyright.PENANAwxTE3Axk6V
小羽聯想起歷史堂學過的官僚架構,總之金字塔頂層就是閻王爺、接著是其他七個王帝、中層是魔神、再下面是牛頭馬面之類的死神和鬼差,用來管治最底層的遊魂。454Please respect copyright.PENANAxHbQyOJfjS
454Please respect copyright.PENANAC8QuToIOja
小羽打蛇隨棍上的問道:「那土樓裡面的大塊頭是誰?」454Please respect copyright.PENANAPTpHX7h3Uu
454Please respect copyright.PENANAGqsqE87nwG
「他就是大漢國的森羅王。」白爺苦笑的搖搖頭,實在沒這小妮子好氣:「他大約等於你們的總統呀總書記呀一類。」454Please respect copyright.PENANAZZVwBuWox9
454Please respect copyright.PENANA7f0liasOJK
「你們會有民主選舉,勝出了就可以坐上他那位置嗎?」454Please respect copyright.PENANACSV648Qnr2
454Please respect copyright.PENANAZMVjoNwRDr
「真荒謬,王帝怎可能是由人民選出來的呢?現任的森羅王已經當了大概一千九百多年漢王了。」454Please respect copyright.PENANApKhES1aQGE
454Please respect copyright.PENANATLnz2z7KzZ
小羽托著下巴,死心不息仍在鑽牛角尖:「那可以請現任那位漢王,把黃炏也變成魔神嗎?」454Please respect copyright.PENANAifsDYayP8L
454Please respect copyright.PENANAjbKmsfEUtb
「漢王也沒這能耐。現在閻王爺的位子懸空,七國王府都在謀著閻王殿的位子,我們這個冥界的國度正在內戰呢。」 454Please respect copyright.PENANAdzL6kTKE8n
454Please respect copyright.PENANAWG7TaY52Yf
小羽慢慢消化著白爺的話。眼前看著兩個師奶提著條廁紙走過,旁邊一個小學雞忙著用電話打遊戲,小羽忽然覺得這世界很沒真實感。454Please respect copyright.PENANArQlq0CadBx
454Please respect copyright.PENANAg0Lhdhqg8x
「巨人王帝是個壞蛋嗎?」454Please respect copyright.PENANAIICiW2gkgR
454Please respect copyright.PENANAX0uwx9uXbk
「不不不,現在的大漢國王是個不可多得的大人物,他原本就是蚕尤一族的先知。」454Please respect copyright.PENANAuCCVmaMfGE
454Please respect copyright.PENANAhoWDXlYTp3
小羽跟在白爺背後,才發覺他的外套又變了裝,現在十足是個大俠的模樣。原來他比自己高了足足兩個頭,而且氣宇軒昂,絕對可以當個超齡的模特兒。454Please respect copyright.PENANAVKSsHrecYx
454Please respect copyright.PENANAFvjLU7Nll3
「白爺,魔神這名號挺威風的,你為甚麼要退休不當下去?」454Please respect copyright.PENANAevwsxb4xT6
454Please respect copyright.PENANArzjU63Bm8M
「嗯...我老了,是時候退下來。」白爺淡淡的道,似在壓抑住一份唏噓。小羽叉起手,心想若然其他的魔神要是統統吃了頓肥雞餐,一併全都退休就好了。454Please respect copyright.PENANAEk4bQ9Cewr
454Please respect copyright.PENANAA6AkYydJRJ
「對了,關於那隻咬了哥哥一口的怪獸...」454Please respect copyright.PENANAx4SYhuF9j1
454Please respect copyright.PENANAXOmuje1AFu
白爺聞言呆了半响,眉毛皺成一條橫線:「那種妖怪叫做貪狼,是種專挑靈魂來吃的魔物。說也奇怪,除了某些地獄裡頭可能養了一些作為看門口之外,這種野生品早已絕跡的妖怪近來在靈界也開始活躍起來。現在竟然還逃了過去陽間出沒,這件事真的好奇怪...」454Please respect copyright.PENANAb1qvDmY39S
454Please respect copyright.PENANA0jf4WmPopM
「絕種妖怪嗎...?」小羽眼珠上望,聽她語氣倒像是期待發現頭可愛的有趣動物。454Please respect copyright.PENANAF7VtGVZtVe
454Please respect copyright.PENANAHIlbIy1468
「妳先在這裡等我一下。」454Please respect copyright.PENANASkfC2Zzz82
454Please respect copyright.PENANAEsEQcfLqbe
白爺轉進一間殘舊的商場,先在間有機蔬果店買了包又貴又難吃的沙律菜,和一條硬邦邦的法包。他再走到轉角一所寵物店的門外,偷偷摸摸的透過櫥窗望進去。看見小羽也跟過來,白爺才推門進去買了份狗罐頭,又急急腳離開。454Please respect copyright.PENANAvLF6MVniER
454Please respect copyright.PENANACbUFB85oIm
「謝先生,您忘了找零錢。」女店員跑出來,叫住了白爺。454Please respect copyright.PENANAUEYwRsXhVJ
454Please respect copyright.PENANAa4rXihJy6o
白爺神不守舍的答:「噢,對...」454Please respect copyright.PENANAVEDvy6QDJJ
454Please respect copyright.PENANAmeHt45FcTE
小羽望著白爺手中一袋狗糧,正在胡思亂想這會對妖怪野狼有用嗎?(狼和狗大概口味差不多吧)白爺臉上添了分血氣,沒有剛才那麼死氣沉沉。454Please respect copyright.PENANAiFQBkuTM3A
454Please respect copyright.PENANAqPZ81dxDUg
二人轉到九龍站其中之一棟豪華屋苑,在商場和平台上左轉右轉,小羽很快就開始迷路了。白爺把話提扯回到小羽身上,卻對那種貪狼絕口不提,不經不覺已經來到白爺的居所。454Please respect copyright.PENANAuf7kIL7zrv
454Please respect copyright.PENANAm24xdsVF0V
小羽呆呆的站在玄關,這是個空間感十足的客廳,落地玻璃眺望著東方的維港港口,水光粼粼,叫小羽眼睛眯了起來。可是整個地方如期說是住宅,倒不如說是示範單位吧。這裡整個空間沒有裝修、沒有半件傢俱,空蕩蕩的三道白牆,不禁令小羽再次聯想起靈堂。 454Please respect copyright.PENANABRHoja4aqv
