2154年12月24日，晚上七點，黑教堂691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYmxNWwkZC
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIHcncgrke
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrrH2OMsnB
主辦人──薩拉凱爾教教主致詞後，晚宴在七點準時開始。現場準備許多珍饈佳餚，世界最知名的樂隊在前方演奏，機器服務生送來各式各樣的美酒。原本以為是嚴肅的宴會，沒想到氣氛活潑，像屬於貴族的派對。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdKd3PCc5G
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIQktiHlIN
「……。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yyn03EC3A
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JHY94iA76
不過，他現在很尷尬。謝賢讓他和謝綠獨處，顧爾不能在隨侍在旁。李晴煬和謝綠靠在牆邊，不知道要說什麼。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fCDmN0STO
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVAMSa9wci
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjviXtkCv7Y
「觀自在菩薩。行深般若波羅蜜多時。照見五蘊皆空。度一切苦厄。舍利子。色不異空。空不異色。色即是空。空即是色……」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5NETFkErp
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO8gKNrpXU
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPnZwHjBcg
和晚宴氣氛很不相符，他竟然從謝綠身上，聽到和尚誦經的聲音；因為太另類，李晴煬對她留下深刻的印象。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxFgiJHbiM
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAZVfiOBpx
而且，謝綠很漂亮──李晴煬無法否認，眼前的女孩讓他十分著迷，尤其是草綠色的眼睛。她渾身散發一個「靜」字，小小年紀，彷彿看透很多事。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp0SIFnWxQ
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11lRBzVR0O
「你是第一次參加？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkoQ9oGRFB
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLoJvzmUAF
李晴煬不知道怎麼開話題，謝綠率先開口，打破尷尬的氣氛。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0KbfdaRcZ
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOXzk7vDZr
喝著專為小孩調配的無酒精雞尾酒，李晴煬回應：「嗯。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPg2zzAPd9
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O43PnWkhu
「之前為什麼缺席？」謝綠單刀直入地問。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzS0XIAajG
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1AM9lZyNz
「討厭人多的地方。」李晴煬簡單回答。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JHsncHvaH
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoltKMCDZQX
「今年又為什麼來？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tIAl6VfBf
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm4t5XX3MO
「見見世面。」李晴煬聳肩，「不能一直窩在家裡。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbYqRZ8MNW
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9UdeaPKnz
謝綠沉默。李晴煬覺得剛才的氣氛不錯，換他問：「妳呢？每年都來？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrnaW6PuWA
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIEaU6NLIE
「八歲開始，這是第三次。」謝綠沒有逃避他的問題，老實回答。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE17cnvfch
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxQXnf51tT
「為什麼？」李晴煬看著謝綠厭世的臉，「妳不像喜歡這種場合的人。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf14gaKsCg
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU6HlLBP6U
「還能因為什麼？我是被拖來的。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLrk6zQTyS
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcxNBExrw0
李晴煬聽見謝綠嘆氣的聲音。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdaiqAKOnS
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHRYGL6sOU
「在場的人，妳都認識嗎？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NSl6JikEY
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8BbsoILVV
謝綠一定知道十大家族的事，李晴煬決定問問，以免氣氛又變尷尬。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMWh1La5nV
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjSsCGS16c
「大部分知道。」謝綠看向他，「你都不認識？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6WvKvWWvQ
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi8WvVsuqU
李晴煬點頭。謝綠沉默幾秒，「好吧。」帶李晴煬去角落，好一次看到全部的人。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZiCkrfLuu
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpYWBYhwzo
「我一直很想問。」前往角落的路上，謝綠上上下下審視他一番，「李門的穿衣品味都這麼怪？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEXBouvd3L
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9SaGJm2A0
李晴煬想回答「妳以為我願意嗎？」但不像自己會說的話，改用挑釁的語氣：「怎麼？本少爺這樣不好看？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHGhQ4PdAe
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuP4Jh01YL
「嗯。」謝綠秒答，補了句：「活像個娘炮。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22TrR4V3yb
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwISrj8k5s2
「娘炮」兩字像一隻箭，狠狠從李晴煬胸前穿了過去。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VE4TMv8L3
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7msK9BonVa
「妳的穿衣品味才奇怪！哪有人古裝下面搭短裙！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKfkbmi2yG
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0hMx5tohL
「比較好活動。」謝綠哼了一聲，「我父親都沒說什麼，你管那麼多幹嘛？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx5akkbKsw
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuebAEfef2d
「妳……！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEEPDxeIFB
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLkdIIK98W
「啊，這兒就行了，要從哪一家開始介紹呢……？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtBntSX3Dj
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOcB9yvnGq
謝綠規避掉話題。雖然表情不多、年紀又小，但她講話很不客氣，顯然沒在怕李晴煬。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wbCztpMqD
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnG7KNCffn
李晴煬撇了撇嘴，順著謝綠手指的方向看去──那群穿醫師袍的年輕人。李晴煬率先說：「希波克拉底一脈。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxzlDF0bNJ
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87MnH6CShK
「你知道？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMoYsDj56y
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClNQi6jd3F
「聽來的。」李晴煬說：「詳細不清楚。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TzPiwUNvD
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYtwxO3JDH
「嗯，看來我高估你了。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJkMCvw9ZE
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJIdv3dgSH
李晴煬的嘴角抽動幾下。謝綠不理他，專心介紹：691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM3JVzOrI8
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnqTLgr8dr
「希波克拉底一脈，十大家族第九，擅長領域是醫學，家族成員都是醫生、藥劑師、法醫、醫檢師……全世界的醫院，背後的經營者都是他們。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRDXtGhJIP
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FbQ6ginok
謝綠雙手環胸，用一種非常帥氣的姿勢，靠在牆上。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdEW8YMVx6
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL2g9qu9z3
「傳說他們的家族成員，全是古希臘時代的醫學大師──希波克拉底的後代。但年代久遠，沒有統一姓氏，才用祖先的名字統稱。」謝綠說。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93B6B5yITN
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAPwf1tgNj
「他們平常都這樣，穿醫師袍晃來晃去？」李晴煬問。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI5dKUPpVP
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon4vZbxucm
「每個家族都有自己的穿衣風格。希波克拉底一脈以醫生為榮，醫師袍是身分的象徵。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jxkRL7bBE
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9RG8qlNk0
謝綠的眼睛改看向另一群人。李晴煬順著她的視線看去──把滾筒衛生紙裹在身上的貴婦。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlSqKlUuOZ
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZrCNhdnnc
「雷蒙一家。」謝綠說：「十大家族第八，時尚業的壟斷者。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0Cw3hrz7p
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPB6brphHB
「時…時尚？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu84l45Zks
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap3wEeAhcU
李晴煬挑眉。不只捲筒衛生紙，有人的髮型像花椰菜，有人的洋裝像菜瓜布，還有一個女人的披肩是黑色垃圾袋。時尚真難懂。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrBrMRJWtJ
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y5Pjsxxj9
「今年算收斂了。」謝綠看出李晴煬的疑惑，告訴他：「我去年，看過把色鉛筆插在頭上的。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCzcl1ZRCl
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP7LTpjwIl
「穿這種衣服還能笑……要是本少爺，恨不得死了個算了。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cz2Y41l2q
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3v4AV1rqC
李晴煬說完，聽見謝綠發出輕輕的笑聲。沒想到她會笑──李晴煬心想，心情不自覺好起來。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCG0gPKdaQ
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVTaodkdIK
「雷蒙一家旗下的品牌，從服裝到飾品，還有專門培訓藝人的經紀公司；另外，他們家的物流技術也很創新，不少零售店搶著和他們合作。」謝綠故意補充：「而且，他們家的人都很漂亮。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9iieMOWUN
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt3gB7UDrL
「……不把那身恐怖的衣服脫掉，本少爺無法體會。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvgbAB5vMP
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2oMFMka5P
視線離開雷蒙一家，李晴煬改看向另一群──正在會場中央表演魔術、射飛鏢、拋彩球的馬戲團人士。晚宴的氣氛之所以活潑，都拜這群小丑所賜。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik6WUb6PjP
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLecpKJRE8
「那又是誰？」李晴煬問謝綠。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU4y8tvQuU
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYc8qklro5
「史密斯馬戲團，十大家族第七，慈善事業。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15Z9hruN6G
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxzjL1MBop
謝綠說完，其中一名史密斯變出一堆彩色氣球，逗得周遭人笑聲不斷、表情又驚又喜。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qg5Y724hq
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg2OYWiM5P
「史密斯居無定所，他們在全世界巡迴演出，收入都拿去照顧弱勢，是聲望很高的家族，但也因為這樣，他們不是很富有。」謝綠說。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwoPkA53Fm
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYRhfecyfS
「聽起來很偉大。」李晴煬附和。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zHGTuoyeX
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbjKDTXxCw
「坦白說，他們挺奇妙的。聖誕晚宴是史密斯少數參加的活動，其他正式場合，一概不參加。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9EYGEPYCT
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVZTkXn5VJ
介紹完，謝綠的手指向另一群人。李晴煬剛好想問，畢竟，他看那群光速戰士很久了。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXmvfBEhRW
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOu4k6HL3z
「白與金，統稱Platinum。白家壟斷科技，金家壟斷軍火，兩家因為婚姻關係結合。十大家族第五和第六，是非常強的軍火聯盟，絕對不容小覷。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAQ1eMtRZ1
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsQI41ZK9Z
李晴煬對他們的服裝更感興趣。謝氏像武俠小說的角色，Platinum則是遊戲，會發射高速激光的那種。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR376inuwig
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtYl7D9Qt4
「他們漂浮在空中？」李晴煬踮腳尖，試著看清楚。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NNEWdmHGB
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOku1qGihl9
「嗯，他們腳底的投影圖騰，那是漂浮裝置。」謝綠說。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQgmwFIoZg
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUd1uMXh8p
「背上那又是什麼？翅膀？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdsv9YciDM
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMIHEmbKZg
「那也是投影，圖案會隨他們的情緒變化……你看，變成橘色了，那個人現在心情很好。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnR6Odq4IF
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3GMtlpbch
Platinum的穿衣風格非常前衛。移動時，兩腳懸浮在空中，衣服還會飄起來，浮空時的畫面很好看，但科技感太強，給人的感覺很不真實。明明是人類，卻把自己弄得像機器人。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFNvrURL4F
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkBb0MwQM1
「黑色教袍的是薩拉凱爾教、十八世紀貴族打扮的是李門、像從漢朝穿越來的是謝氏……這些你都知道了。」謝綠把胸前的手放下來，看著李晴煬的臉，「還有不知道的嗎？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiDKaM1CDN
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW37NKDDGF
「妳怎麼只介紹八個？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr1Wn9C95b
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8cosPBH1N
李晴煬發現，前後的高宇維與夏家，謝綠都沒有說。聽完他的問題，謝綠意味深長地陷入沉默，沉默持續了一陣子。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiZNtkvmZ6
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpip80TR96
「沒介紹的兩家，都沒有出席。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ofRdbWl7c
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBTjb2nFeE
不等李晴煬問，謝綠就告訴他：691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS7S9pUAeO
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBXo0aCjdX
「夏家……十大家族第十，是非常奇怪的家族。他們比高宇維還神秘，沒有人知道他們在做什麼、裡面有誰，連他們住在哪都不知道。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnKwgJm5qB
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMpSvj6nmS
「這樣也算十大家族？」李晴煬立刻問。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8JIt0U4ow
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimC2N33zJ2
「我也不知道，但神秘歸神秘，他們也沒做什麼。」謝綠聳肩。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauyvc5FKDr
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FT42FWMOO
「高宇維呢？」問完夏家，李晴煬再問另一個缺席者：「他這麼跩，這種場合都不來？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXCg1PDjHo
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb870faC6X
「別說『這種場合』，高宇維連自己的活動都不出席。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg8yfbmu5U
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04W5rtE3mt
謝綠說，似是對高宇維的缺席見怪不怪。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHSpevI0b0
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0WKt0YLPp
「我不知道怎麼說，高宇維好像不喜歡其他家族，想和我們劃清關係，可是──」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyqcPmRd9h
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFEexaIdQe
謝綠把話停在這兒。她的眼神突然變得十分銳利、似乎在警戒什麼。李晴煬順著她的視線看去，赫然對上一雙眼睛，嚇得他後退兩步。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzNyiNS8DZ
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWXwfRnyKp
「……。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomPpikThOH
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXQvKvtBIe
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9x1LCJuGJ
一名白色頭髮的男子，正從遠遠的地方看著他們。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJYH0OHuOg
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3rpB9lk9C
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PDef8j368
男子是整個會場，唯一穿著正常西裝的人。他離李晴煬和謝綠很遠，但筆直的視線彷彿要把刺穿。李晴煬不自覺感到緊張，旁邊的謝綠瞪了回去，跟李晴煬說：691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO1ZTm5Ppz
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqEuZsR1z0
「可是今年，高宇維派他的親信來了。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAJHQ64chz
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG0ZjXa8a5
謝綠不敢掉以輕心，就怕一不留神，男子會做出不利她的舉動。李晴煬問謝綠：「親信？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRFJhnyu0p
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvqZPkLtV0
「對，親信──你聽過神與畜吧？他是第一幹部、地位僅次於高宇維。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETpURjddUL
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwRBL5ySG6
謝綠的雙刀已經蓄勢待發。她一手握住刀柄，說出那個禁忌的名字──691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8oAXDzl94
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESztnUoV6D
「里奧．懷特。」
