2161年2月21日,下午四點,仙境大樓,八層312Please respect copyright.PENANAALVfw3192j
312Please respect copyright.PENANAqSOUwYgqUI
312Please respect copyright.PENANAmxYR79B6ml
打鐵趁熱,事不宜遲。尼可拉斯傳來夏家的座標後,李晴煬、賴梓綾、江云格、謝綠四人決定立刻出發,但賴梓綾沒有去過外面的世界,出發前,謝綠帶賴梓綾回自己房間,物色適合的衣服。312Please respect copyright.PENANAk1FV41gNv3
312Please respect copyright.PENANAxvFSG6RC4F
這些日子,賴梓綾的情緒穩定許多,不知道李晴煬用了什麼方法,或體內的睡鼠讓她不自覺、對同樣是水果塔後裔的人感到安心。她能和謝綠獨處一室,李晴煬不需要在旁邊。312Please respect copyright.PENANAFxwePQTn7M
312Please respect copyright.PENANApZ0pbubB6T
「唔,傷腦筋。」312Please respect copyright.PENANAn1BaS1XGOE
312Please respect copyright.PENANAIjyj3qDov4
站在衣櫃前,謝綠左翻右翻。賴梓綾個子比她高,謝綠找了很久,才翻到一件黑色的帽T,和一條明顯不是她尺寸的黑色褲子。312Please respect copyright.PENANA22KmT12fP3
312Please respect copyright.PENANApwgzCcB5t9
「梓綾,妳穿穿看這個。」312Please respect copyright.PENANA1OsXTcgGgh
312Please respect copyright.PENANAlxUrkE1cZ9
賴梓綾體重過瘦,腰圍有些不符,但褲管長度剛好。這是謝綠之前買錯、忘記退貨的褲子,沒想到幫了大忙。312Please respect copyright.PENANAbnV5aDLtu8
312Please respect copyright.PENANA36GgT16M9N
在謝綠的幫助下,賴梓綾乖乖換上黑色帽T。為了避免引人注目,謝綠故意將她的帽子戴起來,把賴梓綾的白色長髮藏在裡面。312Please respect copyright.PENANA2hm1u5TGAL
312Please respect copyright.PENANAYq109Ytrej
「OK,大功告成。」謝綠幫她黏掉衣服上的貓毛,順便問:「梓綾,有哪裡不舒服嗎?」312Please respect copyright.PENANAtJGZhHQK9z
312Please respect copyright.PENANAUzTrBfKN6B
「……。」312Please respect copyright.PENANAlgUpDs0bxV
312Please respect copyright.PENANAGtixbOw3um
賴梓綾不會講話,只是微微皺眉,手放在自己的胸口。謝綠知道她想表達什麼,告訴她:「第一次穿都會不習慣,梓綾稍微忍忍,回來就可以……呃,如果妳不介意李晴煬在旁邊,脫掉也沒關係。」312Please respect copyright.PENANAuwbkJ6nKvV
312Please respect copyright.PENANAx2DNiwjSWS
賴梓綾鼓嘴,看起來不太開心,謝綠覺得她的表情很可愛。312Please respect copyright.PENANApZYrw3QyIz
312Please respect copyright.PENANA4PiEoGird8
無法用言語交流,但感覺得出,賴梓綾很喜歡謝綠,她是繼李晴煬後、第二個能和賴梓綾肢體接觸的人;謝綠也不討厭賴梓綾,畢竟神與畜的女性成員(葛蕾絲和MIO),年紀都差太多。賴梓綾在,謝綠覺得自己多了個妹妹。312Please respect copyright.PENANAMeZ82ONRrd
312Please respect copyright.PENANAQwKECrWdvU
「……。」312Please respect copyright.PENANAvlGryA7mcl
312Please respect copyright.PENANANDumKjL0Ys
想到妹妹,謝綠內心一沉。她真正的妹妹──謝頤,自從謝綠加入神與畜,就沒收到她的消息,人也不在謝氏。謝綠一直很愧疚,雖然是她保住謝頤的命,但對妹妹而言,「活下來」是否,才是更痛苦的事?312Please respect copyright.PENANAddgLddZDpD
312Please respect copyright.PENANAbkAwcCbuA7
「抱歉,梓綾,我剛剛恍神了。」312Please respect copyright.PENANAo7fjrXMnaf
312Please respect copyright.PENANAv0xtlUEJi4
回到現實,賴梓綾一直用那雙淡紅色的眼睛、盯著謝綠的臉。謝綠恢復微笑,假裝沒事地說:「我的鞋子借妳,我們出發……!」312Please respect copyright.PENANADOfiLlIE06
312Please respect copyright.PENANAaezA7HlFNA
還沒說完,賴梓綾突然緊緊抱住她,謝綠嚇了一跳。312Please respect copyright.PENANAM2By1aWay1
312Please respect copyright.PENANAR55M5yXJ6w
「梓綾……?」312Please respect copyright.PENANAEjMDdeUHuM
312Please respect copyright.PENANAPrqq99q8mE
「……。」312Please respect copyright.PENANA4edQcaO75s
312Please respect copyright.PENANAlRpgN2bSmc
賴梓綾輕輕拍她的背,謝綠這才意識到,賴梓綾是在安慰自己。312Please respect copyright.PENANAFOon3KUfwF
312Please respect copyright.PENANA3jAkHKjSds
謝綠的表情都沒變,還是被賴梓綾發現她在悲傷。這女孩對人的情緒,似乎比一般人敏感,觀察力也很強。她給謝綠擁抱,因為就賴梓綾的理解,抱抱是一件「開心」的事。312Please respect copyright.PENANAegyjnloWhO
312Please respect copyright.PENANAhYAlQwa9JW
──也是很溫暖的事。312Please respect copyright.PENANAKlwjqdfaji
312Please respect copyright.PENANAe7Mwu21t0F
「謝謝妳,梓綾,我沒事了。」312Please respect copyright.PENANAsb3j6Oaaoy
312Please respect copyright.PENANAJTh7yJfCq6
「……。」312Please respect copyright.PENANAPePBPGIQWo
312Please respect copyright.PENANAlW1wki3TFU
少女淡粉色的眼睛看著謝綠,確認她真的沒事,賴梓綾才放開謝綠。312Please respect copyright.PENANAViWe1ah1Oz
312Please respect copyright.PENANAiDrvZhlStI
「等這趟回來,我們再慢慢聊。」謝綠微笑,「走吧,梓綾,格格和李晴煬在等我們。」312Please respect copyright.PENANAAHBo6Az6zo
312Please respect copyright.PENANAr9R21iBq0i
賴梓綾點頭。謝綠從鞋櫃拿出一雙紫色的球鞋,給她換上。312Please respect copyright.PENANAK9GB0rq3ZS

2161年2月21日,下午四點,仙境大樓,八層312Please respect copyright.PENANAdWzNiJKuHi
312Please respect copyright.PENANAQIyZ20x9NR
312Please respect copyright.PENANAAJLlY4t7i7
同一時間,李晴煬靠著牆、坐在地上,在謝綠房間外面,等兩位女士換衣服。312Please respect copyright.PENANAYtoMWrzBix
312Please respect copyright.PENANAG9xXAl5O1L
李晴煬很煩躁。要不是賴梓綾在裡面,李晴煬才不會來八樓──不是因為謝綠的房間在這,而是另一個人。312Please respect copyright.PENANAsl58BynCUN
312Please respect copyright.PENANAWw8zYGjw4I
「我可以坐你旁邊嗎?」312Please respect copyright.PENANAdCKXU9Wnkr
312Please respect copyright.PENANAlOjpYspSOT
說人人到。江云格從隔壁房間出來,看到李晴煬在這,竟然主動搭話,李晴煬不知道他在想什麼──因為戴著耳機。312Please respect copyright.PENANAFgy6u9Vkze
312Please respect copyright.PENANAprhBriGy8m
「隨便你。」312Please respect copyright.PENANAtUaOa8Afz4
312Please respect copyright.PENANAdWFQx4MePC
「謝謝。」312Please respect copyright.PENANAiwL9Gsenlt
312Please respect copyright.PENANAubb3EiMRVj
說完,江云格也靠著牆、坐在地上。兩個風格迥異的男人坐在一塊兒,如果李晴煬是每天蹺課的問題學生,江云格就是發講義的助教,散發的氣質截然不同。李晴煬瞄了他一眼,江云格細長的眼睛、顏色很淡的棕色頭髮、天生上揚的嘴角,看起來就像……貓。312Please respect copyright.PENANA9w0n03OuQU
312Please respect copyright.PENANAbVlTGudQu2
312Please respect copyright.PENANAyqm1zo1Msg
對,他是貓。312Please respect copyright.PENANAhQHgxXKTad
312Please respect copyright.PENANAZr9jMbT44h
謝綠會喜歡的那種貓。312Please respect copyright.PENANA8sEEUb9mVS
312Please respect copyright.PENANAl4wZ6vbxQA
312Please respect copyright.PENANAUf4RAaS8Eg
「我臉上有什麼嗎?」發現李晴煬一直在看自己,江云格開口,打破沉默。312Please respect copyright.PENANASTjqMEvAEA
312Please respect copyright.PENANAfPn1pf7Zgm
「貓毛。」李晴煬這是實話,江云格臉上確實黏一根毛,應該是他自己的。312Please respect copyright.PENANA9RGJjeZJkI
312Please respect copyright.PENANA1ue4PoC6Nb
「噢。」江云格摸了摸自己的臉,「在哪裡?」312Please respect copyright.PENANAoXFjonyngF
312Please respect copyright.PENANAEUmPkQo8BU
「右眼眼角。」李晴煬回答。312Please respect copyright.PENANAi9q1B1ZUiB
312Please respect copyright.PENANA3SEYdRBWtT
「右眼……這裡嗎?」312Please respect copyright.PENANAMVC3NnI6jg
312Please respect copyright.PENANAn88Syhu2pA
「不,是本大爺的右邊,你的左眼。」312Please respect copyright.PENANAngiGkmPqVs
312Please respect copyright.PENANA67K2Qp9lzQ
江云格伸手要撥,卻停下動作,將臉湊到李晴煬面前,跟他說:「你可以幫我拿掉嗎?謝謝。」312Please respect copyright.PENANAGpsMIpCbDa
312Please respect copyright.PENANAMxAWsOhCb9
一個男人的臉突然靠過來,李晴煬嚇一跳,用一種怪異的眼神看著江云格;江云格也盯著他,表情很期待,等李晴煬主動碰自己。312Please respect copyright.PENANAWS0rPCuFGK
312Please respect copyright.PENANA7A05BOr3eR
「……。」312Please respect copyright.PENANAjEGDcdWNzd
312Please respect copyright.PENANAMLsc6oNqNq
說實在,他們平常交集不多,又因為謝綠的事,李晴煬對江云格沒有好感;但江云格相反,他似乎對李晴煬很感興趣,好奇心使然,也是貓的天性。312Please respect copyright.PENANAE0jCUS7nYo
312Please respect copyright.PENANAv1S1GCCUZ4
莫名其妙地,李晴煬伸手,幫江云格拿掉臉上的貓毛,江云格看起來很高興。312Please respect copyright.PENANApTKUaIcaM2
312Please respect copyright.PENANAmNTqCIiA8G
「謝謝。」312Please respect copyright.PENANA0QDpE9Jykk
312Please respect copyright.PENANAllhbZBg7vK
江云格道謝,然而,李晴煬的回應不是「不客氣」,而是問他:「你腦子是不是有問題?」312Please respect copyright.PENANAFGUQZ19HgR
312Please respect copyright.PENANAX0TlvPQlq0
「我怎麼了?」江云格歪頭,顯然在裝傻。312Please respect copyright.PENANAg6ek4KkRw5
312Please respect copyright.PENANA6mY7B8JXoK
「本大爺曾經,害死一隻名字跟你很像的貓。」李晴煬說:「貓能透過嗅覺分辨敵人。本大爺怎麼聞,都是你的敵人吧?」312Please respect copyright.PENANA8JASqw0v2q
312Please respect copyright.PENANA8myKWKyDtD
江云格瞇著眼睛笑,看起來更像貓了。312Please respect copyright.PENANA8tGPfgRODF
312Please respect copyright.PENANA87c9oCLf8g
「李晴煬,你誤會了。」江云格說:「你的味道不是敵人,而是『根本沒有』。」312Please respect copyright.PENANAbWPwfSZPaE
312Please respect copyright.PENANA4EpTr7GKxI
答案出乎預料,「沒有?」李晴煬問他:「我身上沒有味道?」312Please respect copyright.PENANAeoXuO2zafC
312Please respect copyright.PENANAqozXIFTwVt
「是的,就這個距離,我什麼也聞不到。」江云格又把臉湊過來,「這麼近才可以,只有一點。」312Please respect copyright.PENANAlDc9ycxbkn
312Please respect copyright.PENANAl3b7T9V84c
「……。」312Please respect copyright.PENANAbuWSZKKb28
312Please respect copyright.PENANA417w0l23n1
聽到這,李晴煬第一次對江云格產生興趣。平常躲在謝綠旁邊、看起來很乖的貓,其實很聰明,也很狡猾。貓毛是江云格故意的,他只是想找理由,近距離聞李晴煬。312Please respect copyright.PENANAJB232e9ZJs
312Please respect copyright.PENANA0n3663Vvcy
「哼,有趣。」312Please respect copyright.PENANAaekFBWSFMP
312Please respect copyright.PENANAGHIQLQ8HA8
說完,李晴煬的身體開始溶化──黑色的汙泥從他的臉流下來,李晴煬成年人的外表消失,變回十六歲的漂亮少年,也是2161年,李門小少爺應有的模樣。312Please respect copyright.PENANA3FnEGNTQ3d
312Please respect copyright.PENANAj6LgEJXNad
沒錯,早在謝氏、白玫瑰被白絃喚醒,李晴煬和MIO的「交換」就已經解除。他後來的外表,都是用黑色汙泥「做」出來的。真正的他被一層汙泥緊緊包覆,所以江云格「聞不到」。312Please respect copyright.PENANAJughjf761y
312Please respect copyright.PENANAGnz9arXWHz
「這樣呢?」312Please respect copyright.PENANAyC6nRDtJEu
312Please respect copyright.PENANAWeVAMp4AES
聲音也不一樣,本尊李晴煬的音頻較高,典型的美少年聲線。312Please respect copyright.PENANA4tnTB6lz6J
312Please respect copyright.PENANAnbuS7cz9b6
「確實,是敵人的味道。」江云格實話實說:「我聞到花香。」312Please respect copyright.PENANA3DXUoy4cxH
312Please respect copyright.PENANAqf2Q5Jc0U1
「花香?」312Please respect copyright.PENANAT9W9ZW9Sjf
312Please respect copyright.PENANAhwSaB26KfQ
「淡淡的,好像是玫瑰。」312Please respect copyright.PENANAs6RzyGRzg7
312Please respect copyright.PENANAqPeDcevR8w
「……。」312Please respect copyright.PENANArrzj7qS0IR
312Please respect copyright.PENANAORzdYiFRBl
李晴煬陷入沉默,似乎正在思考。這時,換完衣服的謝綠和賴梓綾從房間出來,兩人看到李晴煬這副模樣,都嚇一大跳。312Please respect copyright.PENANASqJfxaASvx
312Please respect copyright.PENANAwr1DWdt1Wo
「李…李晴煬?」312Please respect copyright.PENANA5IfV1yKNjk
312Please respect copyright.PENANAkYctJygcE0
謝綠的記憶彷彿被拉回小時候、與李晴煬認識的聖誕晚宴。李門的小少爺已經不是男孩,而是少年──黑色整齊的短髮,穿著白色的襯衫和牛仔褲,個子比江云格矮,不變的是那雙血紅色的眼睛,和那張漂亮的臉。312Please respect copyright.PENANAhfPCt76puF
312Please respect copyright.PENANAuMKDR5v1Dh
謝綠問旁邊的江云格:「發生什麼事?」312Please respect copyright.PENANACuFCQJHPJ6
312Please respect copyright.PENANAHPnNxjZA4f
江云格言簡意賅:「本體露出。」312Please respect copyright.PENANALlr7lAcwWc
312Please respect copyright.PENANAXhJana7tq9
「本體?」312Please respect copyright.PENANAlCWir92Au6
312Please respect copyright.PENANAEqzGcFLOMD
「他平常的外表,是用水果塔做出來的,和MIO沒有關係。」312Please respect copyright.PENANA6LTvVcD0Q7
312Please respect copyright.PENANAn5fElralVU
這件事,除了李晴煬和MIO,及和MIO心智共享的李博洋,其他人都不知道,所以李晴煬覺得江云格聰明,竟然透過味道,發現他深藏多年的秘密。312Please respect copyright.PENANAnBHRrcSpG1
312Please respect copyright.PENANAuwLoqfANhO
「……。」312Please respect copyright.PENANAX2Y5un9os3
312Please respect copyright.PENANADb9o6v712s
賴梓綾也很震驚。因為水果塔,她還是能認出李晴煬,一見如故的感覺比之前更強。賴梓綾摸著胸口,有個聲音在自己體內吶喊、似乎想對李晴煬說什麼,但她聽不清楚。312Please respect copyright.PENANAf8zzCiOLx7
312Please respect copyright.PENANAQf8sZgKjyL
「本少爺要用這個模樣去夏家。」312Please respect copyright.PENANACfUxtg9lHA
312Please respect copyright.PENANAWBVUZUnigw
李晴煬終於說話,用跟平常很不一樣的聲音,和不一樣的自稱詞。312Please respect copyright.PENANAgqIofbrgex
312Please respect copyright.PENANAJ671KxANyG
「你們先去停車場。」李晴煬說:「本少爺回房間一趟,拿個東西。」312Please respect copyright.PENANAw0sIS2xpK0
312Please respect copyright.PENANAlAwWenQCfk
「東西?」江云格很好奇,「是什麼?」312Please respect copyright.PENANAxZowifBNrH
312Please respect copyright.PENANA8mldQJNZUz
「信。」李晴煬也不隱瞞,告訴他們:「我爸生前,寫了一封信給我。」312Please respect copyright.PENANALuU9q7Ioyg
312Please respect copyright.PENANAPvKnO2bYgS
「……爸爸?」312Please respect copyright.PENANAZIp7ItyaMJ
312Please respect copyright.PENANAurtkR3JkOU
李晴煬先離開,同時,謝綠聽到李晴煬的話,似乎想起什麼,表情變得很微妙。312Please respect copyright.PENANAo7oEs0jn8E
312Please respect copyright.PENANA1SMpkjrInm
「小綠,妳怎麼了?」江云格發現謝綠的異常,問她:「妳見過李晴煬的父親?」312Please respect copyright.PENANAfyGrSzCRIq
312Please respect copyright.PENANA8W4jbGCOus
「不,李門二爺很早就過世了,我父親參加過他的喪禮。」謝綠回想:「我記得名字是……李康?但從喪禮回來,我大哥說,父親講了很奇怪的話。」312Please respect copyright.PENANAWJUlixRAx1
312Please respect copyright.PENANAcGK1emyzAC
「奇怪的話?」江云格問。312Please respect copyright.PENANA23tvGIAnCo
312Please respect copyright.PENANAU5rPHcxT2X
「他說:『李康之所以會瘋、會死,因為他在反抗紅心傑克。』」312Please respect copyright.PENANAjPfl8uAJq2
312Please respect copyright.PENANAVCkxdWNo4E
江云格覺得奇怪,謝照顏不喜歡李門,卻願意參加李康的喪禮。身為反高派的謝氏,認為李康和其他李門人士「不一樣」,為什麼?312Please respect copyright.PENANAL181p75wVZ
312Please respect copyright.PENANAVJPzPKKnn1
「過了很多年,大哥又和父親聊到李康,父親講了一樣的話,還說李康『成功了』。大哥問他什麼意思,父親的回答是……一個人名。」312Please respect copyright.PENANAXFIbnsYKAJ
312Please respect copyright.PENANArOdRXZpIh5
那時候的自己很小,謝綠不知道父親說的人是誰;如今想來,她覺得很詭異、很古怪,全身雞皮疙瘩都上來,事情越來越離奇。312Please respect copyright.PENANAfNv02DPzHt
312Please respect copyright.PENANAOUIODK0LtZ
312Please respect copyright.PENANA9czKCeHbXQ
「『李晴煬』。」312Please respect copyright.PENANAe54f3yhC0I
312Please respect copyright.PENANAd5y338EDcB
312Please respect copyright.PENANAZapRp2PawN
謝綠沒有記錯。她非常確定,就是這個名字。312Please respect copyright.PENANA6yRNXbe0ek
312Please respect copyright.PENANA6H6PfPmO2P
312Please respect copyright.PENANA7MbS1q0h0K
