兩人就這樣浩浩蕩蕩抵達萌理佳生前念的高中。種子長得像海膽一樣一球一球的槭樹因充足的日照出落得綠意盎然,沿著校內的圍牆邊比鄰而生,從高聳的牆後探出頭來。297Please respect copyright.PENANAITdSJhUNHp
297Please respect copyright.PENANAqKDIfBiSK6
警衛拿著蒼蠅拍,用自己的手機看著老電影。在萬事屋的庇佑下,他沒看見兩個身穿高中制服,大喇喇地站在校門口的假高中生……儘管他們跟他的距離甚至不到五十米。297Please respect copyright.PENANAO7lJwoQ6yj
297Please respect copyright.PENANAovDVvexTbT
學校裡傳來學生們青春的笑語。玄鶚舉步向前,才跨出纖長的右腳就發現事態不對。一回頭,萌理佳果然整個人僵直地杵在原地。297Please respect copyright.PENANA6ymgY2OQJN
297Please respect copyright.PENANAMbYhr5RxXU
「……你、你先過去,我……我等一下就……」297Please respect copyright.PENANAUi99g6uA8Q
297Please respect copyright.PENANAkPQWYJeo0w
從遠處傳來的笑聲令萌理佳呼吸急促。那種滿滿同儕意識的地方,總是會有一群人一起發出笑聲。為了同一件事發笑、為了同一件事惱怒……即便實際上根本不覺得有什麼有趣,也不覺得那事有什麼好在意。但是,因為大家都在笑,大家都覺得過份,所以我也一樣比較好……這就是學校。297Please respect copyright.PENANAxmELrx6O6E
297Please respect copyright.PENANAA9cLwjqn7g
萌理佳內心深處的黑色湖泊發出咕嚕聲,即將沸騰一般蠕動,那份不安定又熱又酸。就跟……沒錯,就像當初奪眶而出的淚水,還有,在賁門附近的胃酸。筆記本上面的塗鴉即使碰到含有鹽分的眼淚也不會暈開,那些笑聲也永遠不會停止。大家都笑了,只要有人不笑,就違反了同儕意識……難怪會被排除在外。297Please respect copyright.PENANAHvFFKOcyOn
297Please respect copyright.PENANAcNKlWunlWd
但是,究竟有什麼好笑的?她完全不覺得有趣。297Please respect copyright.PENANA1TXpPI95Vs
297Please respect copyright.PENANAuRtd5N1Tqr
亂畫別人的筆記本,忽略別人,在發講義時刻意繞過別人的座位……這種根本只是無聊當有趣的事,霸凌這種事,究竟有什麼好玩?297Please respect copyright.PENANAo5heuzjHbP
297Please respect copyright.PENANA8UrUXKOCSa
喘不過氣來。明明吸入了氧氣,卻感到窒息。胃酸在這時沉不住氣,緊緊摀住乾裂的嘴唇也無濟於事,酸味填滿了口腔,從指縫間滲出。297Please respect copyright.PENANAg83v8hrvXz
297Please respect copyright.PENANAgt7AnHongj
「嘩啦」地吐了一地。297Please respect copyright.PENANAuuGGOq4l4N
297Please respect copyright.PENANAzqM8rmZRY3
眼前只剩一片漆黑。在那一刻,一切真的全都完蛋了。297Please respect copyright.PENANAflGkxCvhQ6
297Please respect copyright.PENANAKRXvmY64tt
救救我……救救我……拜託……297Please respect copyright.PENANAZbC2rzR2Ou
297Please respect copyright.PENANABqwWeu2XpF
黑色的東西又開始蠢動,從眼球中央開始,緩緩包覆住穿著水手服的蒼白肩頸,皓白的兔子也被滲出體表的黑色塵埃吃了進去。297Please respect copyright.PENANALwL8HFEp47
297Please respect copyright.PENANACnrTtUO2pm
一只白皙修長的手安靜的出現在眼前的黑暗裡。彷彿暗夜當中的月亮般,發出淡淡的光。297Please respect copyright.PENANA8GR8OWuVVA
297Please respect copyright.PENANAFjqtQ91F2i
「走吧,沒事的,依佳。」297Please respect copyright.PENANAVCJrcGnrRt
297Please respect copyright.PENANAiztWqOQvKw
玄鶚好似從黑屏幕探進上半身一樣,平靜地闖入萌理佳一片漆黑的回憶裡,眨著深藍色的眼睛,朝她伸出手掌。297Please respect copyright.PENANAGKyT4L7HDt
297Please respect copyright.PENANAhTOzZm95AV
「我們已經不是這個牢籠中的一部分,只是進來救走同伴的旁觀者。所以,牽著我,然後,一起走吧。」297Please respect copyright.PENANAdiIrJ5Fv3Y
297Please respect copyright.PENANADqDRQSuQBn
救救我……萌理佳聽見當初的她發出微弱的求救。297Please respect copyright.PENANAOiT2Cphgka
297Please respect copyright.PENANAq1Dq6UGqfB
「嗯,過來吧。」297Please respect copyright.PENANA2DqOBu2V0V
297Please respect copyright.PENANAjuGApRPhA8
玄鶚的聲音讓她想到火車進站前,鐵道發出的沉穩低鳴。297Please respect copyright.PENANAH64xygIj1x
297Please respect copyright.PENANAtgzbIiXJy9
下一刻,她將手伸向眼前的月光。297Please respect copyright.PENANAI0VmYXCNJW
297Please respect copyright.PENANAublp3qIodj
一陣拉力將她往前扯,落入一個有力的擁抱。明亮和熙的朝陽刺痛雙眼,從整團黑色變回少女的萌理佳被玄鶚環抱胸前。297Please respect copyright.PENANAearBBpRLFs
297Please respect copyright.PENANAXPidFsO1fF
「……現在已經沒事了。」297Please respect copyright.PENANAurD599v6HS
297Please respect copyright.PENANAUSWdMJexJ1
真的嗎?297Please respect copyright.PENANAMPkVWzeGaN
297Please respect copyright.PENANAfX5mJYveyX
「那都不是妳的錯。就算是,也已經沒關係了。」297Please respect copyright.PENANATqP92PsdlB
297Please respect copyright.PENANARm8SuBfDJK
玄鶚的聲音從胸膛這邊聽起來更加深沉。297Please respect copyright.PENANACpPFlOX8ZQ
297Please respect copyright.PENANAYAD9conLoK
「而且,變成黑嚕嚕的話,萬一被人看到會出大事啦。」297Please respect copyright.PENANAxULeeUUB9j
297Please respect copyright.PENANAn83jsuKXwN
萌理佳的呼吸漸漸恢復平穩,心跳卻變重了。現在還沒完全抽離,但已經有餘裕發覺自己被一個男性擁在懷裡。而且,還算是個帥哥。297Please respect copyright.PENANAUXKl3TFpKT
297Please respect copyright.PENANAWD2PkasKTr
「對……不起……」她擠出呢喃。297Please respect copyright.PENANApL0Lek3Zy1
297Please respect copyright.PENANAf2cdP2LDkN
「為什麼啊?」玄鶚輕拍少女背後,納悶。297Please respect copyright.PENANAn1TMckdMxx
297Please respect copyright.PENANAEeBHnrA5I2
為什麼感到抱歉呢?她也說不上來。或許是,因為之前她發現可疑的紙飛機,卻逃跑了,現在又因為她的關係,打亂了萬事屋的工作步調。297Please respect copyright.PENANA71RiVrKw9v
297Please respect copyright.PENANAfMOOHeLXXS
「嗯,沒有需要道歉的事吧。」但玄鶚這樣說,「像當初那樣告訴我們妳喜歡變成黑嚕嚕的理由,一直過得理直氣壯,這樣就好。」297Please respect copyright.PENANAKzBbutL7lo
297Please respect copyright.PENANAMDq1de4Lrq
真的可以嗎?當初是因為以為之後就不會再見面了才敢說出真心話。297Please respect copyright.PENANADoAi4mlmn0
297Please respect copyright.PENANAFyQXlgsjad
「嗯。」297Please respect copyright.PENANAT3bdjHz32Z
297Please respect copyright.PENANA1epMlKOe11
「……謝謝……謝謝……」萌理佳的淚水瞬間潰堤。297Please respect copyright.PENANA66WAA1rKNl
297Please respect copyright.PENANAGmYsIMcaab
如果旁人能看到此刻發生在校門附近的事,一定會覺得玄鶚是個讓女孩子哭泣的壞人吧?但玄鶚本身並沒有這種常識,無論是活著時,抑或死亡後的百年來。反正,他已經不記得了。而實際上也沒有人看得到。297Please respect copyright.PENANAtz8m0KDkr5
297Please respect copyright.PENANAr1yp6YiKeF
過了約莫三分鐘,少女幽靈輕輕離開少年的西裝外套。297Please respect copyright.PENANAesejZ5Jiis
297Please respect copyright.PENANAhYsYxHJHTy
「……妳這傢伙把鼻涕跟眼淚都抹我身上了呀!這一塊都濕透了耶!」不知是想避開尷尬,或真的已經忍耐到極限的玄鶚首先發球。297Please respect copyright.PENANAxD64fSz8tx
297Please respect copyright.PENANAls2nmkfUJ8
「囉……囉嗦!我怎麼知道變成幽靈以後也會有眼淚啊!」萌理佳為了自尊心不甘示弱,臉頰卻不爭氣的紅透了。297Please respect copyright.PENANANyh5srSPnU
297Please respect copyright.PENANA1TL4M5EOQH
「還有鼻涕!」297Please respect copyright.PENANAK6kTtKyanS
297Please respect copyright.PENANA0dqvC4cyQl
「不要對著少女說鼻涕啦!虧我剛剛還真的覺得你很紳士,把我的尊敬與感動還來!」297Please respect copyright.PENANAozL1Gcn9po
297Please respect copyright.PENANAq0iCkk9dN5
「我都借妳胸膛了,妳這個沒良心的傢伙!」297Please respect copyright.PENANAZkpFVrT7Wo
297Please respect copyright.PENANAPjI4lIB11S
「還不快走,到底還要不要去找那個幽靈啦?」297Please respect copyright.PENANAEZmvL3neNq
297Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZAFcN9h6t
「要啊,走了啦!」297Please respect copyright.PENANAxVBdw6EyVd
297Please respect copyright.PENANAnreVMnYuMX
「你要走就走,幹嘛拉我手腕?」297Please respect copyright.PENANAF4sHXHoZHJ
297Please respect copyright.PENANALG5UBPOG4F
「怕妳又給我落後啊!」297Please respect copyright.PENANAE3UytVX5Pr
297Please respect copyright.PENANAgYKqjFXRfk
萌理佳鼓起雙頰,心不甘情不願地任由玄鶚拉著手腕。297Please respect copyright.PENANAHw09F5wnI1
297Please respect copyright.PENANArphxjRS9SQ
半晌,不禁莞爾。297Please respect copyright.PENANAlAmNYLVqMp
297Please respect copyright.PENANALh799MCyqs
像這樣的鬥嘴或是彆扭,就跟當初和哥哥在一起時一模一樣。就算打鬧,也絕對不將對方拋下。297Please respect copyright.PENANAULTqSNB7zY
297Please respect copyright.PENANAQsY0wjWGeq
「……笑什麼笑吶?」297Please respect copyright.PENANA3ETXE8iEa3
297Please respect copyright.PENANAHEDg0tWAxC
「嚇死人,你後腦杓有長眼睛嗎!」萌理佳嚇得跳了一下。297Please respect copyright.PENANAOegjk9q0g1
297Please respect copyright.PENANAxi6ex5HSsU
「……因為肉麻的觸感沿著手腕傳過來了咩。」297Please respect copyright.PENANAYKAXsqfn85
297Please respect copyright.PENANAVXdaxF260U
「是你自己要牽著人家欸!可惡,放手啦!」說著真的揮手甩開少年的箝制。297Please respect copyright.PENANAPHdGiLqQSq
297Please respect copyright.PENANApztTmNBG11
兩人已經來到舊校舍前方。由於廢棄已久,即使是接近中午的白天也顯得冷清。從前方遮蔽建築的榕樹朝著天空欣欣向榮。校園裡的熱鬧與此處全然無緣,與新校舍之間彷彿隔著看不見的異次元結界。這個位置理應從西側的走廊末端進入建築,二人移動到榕樹後方。樹蔭完全遮擋任何刺眼的光線,陽光或從白色磁磚上反射出的光芒全部被隔絕在外,變成榕樹行光合作用的原料,以致建築物的一、二樓看起來相當陰暗……聞起來濕氣也很重。萌理佳忍不住揉揉鼻子。297Please respect copyright.PENANAnZjU5JL5g5
297Please respect copyright.PENANAEKaskleOgs
「那,是要我去找那個幽靈吧?」她說。緊盯著眼前的黑暗,彷彿那裡潛伏著只有她看得到的猛獸。297Please respect copyright.PENANAAyNYUMqLe5
297Please respect copyright.PENANA6JzMkuhRf3
「我先到附近觀望,暫時不靠近比較妥當。」玄鶚伸出右手拇指指向隔壁的新校舍。有許多學生的那一邊。「在妳找到對方前,我先去向學生們打聽一些情報。或許會有用處。」297Please respect copyright.PENANAdXVqri5LJh
297Please respect copyright.PENANAjpXcpAaD2n
有問題就喊我,反正只有我聽得到。297Please respect copyright.PENANAa84S8qQBdp
297Please respect copyright.PENANAlnD9p6PQ94
玄鶚只留下這句話便留萌理佳一個人在陰森的台階前。297Please respect copyright.PENANALC5otXRbrj
297Please respect copyright.PENANAjk0jqiXpR9
「什麼嘛……要是我一瞬間被吃掉要怎麼叫你啊?」萌理佳喃喃埋怨,穿著黑色皮鞋的腳卻認命地踏上台階。297Please respect copyright.PENANADZ0NPRwORc
297Please respect copyright.PENANA5lRZtbBXef
一樓除了空教室跟很黑之外,沒有什麼值得在意的地方。297Please respect copyright.PENANAOpzAslLasi
297Please respect copyright.PENANAqnYUBWy4db
二樓比一樓明亮一點點,但也是只有空教室與存放一部份生物標本的生物教室,此外,東、西側末端各有一間廁所。東側男廁,西側女廁,進入廁所的大門全都上了鎖。萌理佳可以穿門而過,但經過深思熟慮只從外側透過門上的玻璃小窗往內觀望……大樓另一側並沒有任何東西阻擋陽光,因此除了雙眼被刺痛外什麼都看不到。這一層樓不知為何只有生物教室特別幽黑……萌理佳決定不深究箇中原由。即使自己也是靈界朋友,還是不想在這種狀況下思考會讓自己更加害怕的東西。297Please respect copyright.PENANAF6iOKQBRTg
297Please respect copyright.PENANAWTFW68ct82
三樓不值得一提,同樣規格的空教室、理科教室跟廁所兩間……似乎從二樓開始,都會在大樓東西各設一座廁所,而且固定是東男西女。萌理佳傾聽了一下廁所內的動靜,發現一片寂靜以後緩緩將耳廓收回。理科教室裡似乎還放有一些化學製劑,為了防止沒有榕樹遮蔽的光害而門窗緊閉。297Please respect copyright.PENANAjz7Tghj7Ds
297Please respect copyright.PENANAVmuE1zIVbI
萌理佳一路往上到四樓。還沒抵達,便立刻發現不對勁的地方。在三樓通往四樓的階梯中半段,一只幾乎被染紅的紙飛機靜靜躺在角落裡。297Please respect copyright.PENANAYDnEYvRn1I
297Please respect copyright.PENANAbfs5EKX1Jn
「誰在那裡?」297Please respect copyright.PENANAAHbsvEmzx9
297Please respect copyright.PENANAyIEMH0AVFq
一個男孩子的聲音倏然刺穿四周冰冷的靜謐。297Please respect copyright.PENANAz6tUIA0gTp
297Please respect copyright.PENANAuOifM1hzBp
萌理佳驚恐不已,緩緩仰起因緊張而僵硬的頸椎。結果什麼都沒看到。這個角度什麼都看不到。一陣強烈的預感要她不要出聲。那男孩的出現讓空氣瞬間停滯。297Please respect copyright.PENANAXYDIGTaybR
297Please respect copyright.PENANAmUZfGiEvtt
「……沒有人嗎?果然……」297Please respect copyright.PENANAgKwOvtSjQx
297Please respect copyright.PENANA602hVe9Fis
男孩似乎嘆了口氣。297Please respect copyright.PENANAkPGdwSt9U7
297Please respect copyright.PENANAWrVREmNWqD
拖著長長的腳步,與刺耳的,有什麼滴落地面的聲音,一步、兩步……漸漸遠離上方的樓梯口。297Please respect copyright.PENANADWxsK0eHb8
297Please respect copyright.PENANAqcpDeC5lft
那是什麼?297Please respect copyright.PENANAVCuvKnKely
297Please respect copyright.PENANA91q3AImZ0x
那種深深壓入皮膚的觸感使萌理佳幾乎窒息。是什麼樣的幽魂會散發出那種充滿壓迫感的氣息?297Please respect copyright.PENANAeAgAjEerEy
297Please respect copyright.PENANAwfHVVy4ssw
性別確定了,是個男孩子。然而,到底能不能直接接觸是個大問題。297Please respect copyright.PENANAkHSsjbJ3rH
297Please respect copyright.PENANA9Xv855GzIO
萌理佳等了一會兒,確定沒有聲音以後躡手躡腳地爬上四樓,躲在樓梯與四樓走廊的交界帶,探出半顆兔子腦袋。走廊上空無一人。297Please respect copyright.PENANArTqlzJ6uWw
297Please respect copyright.PENANApQv5xHwJub
怎麼辦?果然要讓玄鶚過來才行吧?散發出那種可怕氣場的存在,一定不只萌理佳,同為幽靈的人一定也都會退避三舍……297Please respect copyright.PENANAC2FqcHCInr
297Please respect copyright.PENANAAjgCB6LqE3
「什麼嘛,有人嘛!」297Please respect copyright.PENANAJkbzKbBXnk
297Please respect copyright.PENANAWaPu5xuPTz
正當萌理佳拖拖拉拉,思考下一步棋該如何安排時,那個聲音從反方向傳來。彷彿來自幽深的谷底,低沉而平靜,卻令人不寒而慄。297Please respect copyright.PENANAqPI8ztdB10
297Please respect copyright.PENANAgWoMRCS1dW
「妳是誰?」297Please respect copyright.PENANAuy906VL2py
297Please respect copyright.PENANAivNZ1krb0S
萌理佳按耐不住從腳底竄上咽喉的顫慄,緩緩地回頭,連偋住的呼吸都在發抖。297Please respect copyright.PENANANYfjXva79V
297Please respect copyright.PENANAnaVLK0taS4
一名滿身是血的少年站在那裡。穿著陌生的冬季制服襯衫,黑色西裝褲,一頭黃色與黑色相間的短髮,雙眼比黑洞還要黑,陵角分明的下顎,白到詭譎的膚色……右手還握著一把瑞士短刀,血從濕透的袖口,沿著銳利的刀刃往下,一滴、兩滴……297Please respect copyright.PENANAomzv87eL3p
297Please respect copyright.PENANARHBT5MsBRe
那些血液顯然並不來自少年本身。297Please respect copyright.PENANAN8zbsYJhgO
297Please respect copyright.PENANAkVXqCy4CIV
因為,就連臉頰都濺上了黏稠的血痕。沿著蒼白劃出一道道慘烈的分界。297Please respect copyright.PENANAzB1hDPaETI
297Please respect copyright.PENANAzHiDQquMt6
少年眼神空洞,偏著頭,好不容易將目光聚焦在角落中的兔耳少女。297Please respect copyright.PENANAjQH8sDinht
