2163年9月24日,下午一點,政治中心A區,桃花林342Please respect copyright.PENANA12ZZFh7i2Y
342Please respect copyright.PENANAaoRGWk5pYb
342Please respect copyright.PENANAat8FaejLtO
仙境大樓最近在施工。342Please respect copyright.PENANAWRPqShWTvI
342Please respect copyright.PENANAGwqutURB90
新加入的成員、神與畜第十三幹部──赫菲斯托斯(Hephaestus),本名羅俊,來自Platinum的機械神童。因不願交出A級機器人的技術,羅俊被Platinum追殺,最後摔倒在農業I區的懸崖,被尼可拉斯撿回神與畜。342Please respect copyright.PENANApGjbuUDXH7
342Please respect copyright.PENANAizac41PlJF
據尼可拉斯的說法,羅俊的雙腿全廢,血液含有蜘蛛糖,現場沒發現他的A級機器人。經過休養及赫密士的「治療」,羅俊終於恢復精神,給自己做了對義肢,正式加入神與畜。342Please respect copyright.PENANAkrxrBE8pzV
342Please respect copyright.PENANAmZ78UiF7Sy
羅俊表示,他可以將仙境大樓徹底改造,不只避免外人入侵,還能做出媲美Platinum的後台終端。高宇維接受提議,也讓小約翰──賴梓綾加入工程行列。無論羅俊需要什麼,賴梓綾的身體都能長出來,非常方便。342Please respect copyright.PENANAZN1sfLRZV2

342Please respect copyright.PENANA7pBgTNCMrc
「宇維少爺。」342Please respect copyright.PENANAydow7dY9Cd
342Please respect copyright.PENANArioVlf27ax
「宇維少爺,下午一點,您該起來了。」342Please respect copyright.PENANAdT9f9FPjgT
342Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2bxXnG5PC
342Please respect copyright.PENANAAE7iG4K2VA
施工期間沒地方住,里奧提議全員搬去高宇維家。拜損友所賜,高宇維原先安靜的生活,因此多了一堆聲音。342Please respect copyright.PENANAxDaTcJblmP
342Please respect copyright.PENANA1gH51Ld598
「派翠克,不要吵我。」342Please respect copyright.PENANAlLMMcajRkr
342Please respect copyright.PENANAvNEoSjJFDU
高宇維縮回棉被,有氣無力地哀號:「我好睏……」342Please respect copyright.PENANAvvvpLhdyad
342Please respect copyright.PENANAnnqmwoyMNe
「里奧大哥說了,您只能睡十二個小時。」派翠克掀開棉被,「快起來吧,我幫您換衣服。」342Please respect copyright.PENANAWLW2Nrp292
342Please respect copyright.PENANAxw2Sup7WwL
說著,高宇維被派翠克抓起來。雖然被強制叫醒很不開心,但他只有一隻手,一個人換衣服很不方便,像這樣有人幫忙,其實挺好的。342Please respect copyright.PENANAGiDPW7WTU7
342Please respect copyright.PENANAyAHvpZlJUj
平常在家,高宇維不會戴他的帽子,也沒有披風,只有白色的襯衫和吊帶短褲。派翠克陪他下樓,尼可拉斯坐在一樓的大沙發,看超困難的醫學書。342Please respect copyright.PENANAAqnjqsx8z8
342Please respect copyright.PENANAh8Qmf2JX1q
「宇維少爺。」342Please respect copyright.PENANA69ycx25foO
342Please respect copyright.PENANAUR7VwK3eiE
對象是高宇維,尼可拉斯當然不會罵人,禮貌的聲音說:「牛奶我幫您熱好了。記得,剛睡醒不要喝紅茶,會傷胃。」342Please respect copyright.PENANAdyQrWbltFj
342Please respect copyright.PENANA9hmXc3bQnW
「……嗯。」342Please respect copyright.PENANAzpxjAa5YX9
342Please respect copyright.PENANASftPOJTXXY
回答完,高宇維發現沙發的顏色不太對,問尼可拉斯:「怎麼變成黑色?」342Please respect copyright.PENANASjtUJLa6Rb
342Please respect copyright.PENANA1vGQdr9Dnu
「昨天江云格打翻赫密士的可樂,趁您睡覺時換新的。」尼可拉斯環顧四週,「宇維少爺,不是我要說──您這裡很像醫院,跟李博洋的白色空間沒兩樣。」342Please respect copyright.PENANA9nHibBn3Uu
342Please respect copyright.PENANArWkwlVZzYi
高宇維的家只有兩層,每層都超過百坪,無論牆壁、天花板、地板、家具……都是白色。一個將近五十坪的超大客廳,放眼望去全是白的,毫無生活氣息。342Please respect copyright.PENANAUYxfSYxNj2
342Please respect copyright.PENANA8smgvvyCAR
「MIO覺得這裡太白,一大早和博洋去傢俱店,說要給您買裝飾。」派翠克用不確定的聲音問:「您不會生氣吧?宇維少爺。」342Please respect copyright.PENANA5IbygzxUqL
342Please respect copyright.PENANA7EXhyIyHZq
高宇維搖頭,「打掃乾淨就好,我無所謂。」342Please respect copyright.PENANAvikikTn263
342Please respect copyright.PENANApkCs8A7JvK
說著,高宇維走去廚房,一邊喝尼克拉斯的熱牛奶,一邊檢查他的庫存。342Please respect copyright.PENANADwWeV2yvzb
342Please respect copyright.PENANAfP6vDYBmBs
紅茶還有,配茶的餅乾沒了。他回想,好像是上禮拜……不,上個月……他忘了,很久以前就被他吃完,高宇維一次又一次倒回餅乾罐的時間。餅乾一直有,味道卻一樣,久了像在嚼蠟。342Please respect copyright.PENANAHxwlWY55PR
342Please respect copyright.PENANAV6netXTxps
「啊,宇維少爺!」342Please respect copyright.PENANAhSFBkUN3mo
342Please respect copyright.PENANAOIfhBAlrxV
此時,謝綠剛好來廚房,看見高宇維坐在白色的吧檯椅上,用白色的杯子喝白色的牛奶。342Please respect copyright.PENANA99U3WoP4AF
342Please respect copyright.PENANAMCtjHaatSy
「宇維少爺,您是要泡茶嗎?」342Please respect copyright.PENANAJS0YY50G2F
342Please respect copyright.PENANAmfWoi1RhDy
高宇維點頭。342Please respect copyright.PENANA8Saa0GQHRQ
342Please respect copyright.PENANA7LPiFkQ18d
「今天早上,大家一起做了餅乾喔。」342Please respect copyright.PENANASYfnZylWKu
342Please respect copyright.PENANAzYFHiYQxUt
謝綠微笑,打開另一個白色櫃子,透明的玻璃罐裝滿剛出爐的手工餅乾。謝綠拿一片給他嚐嚐,高宇維的生活終於有別的味道。342Please respect copyright.PENANAMVd1V2JmBA
342Please respect copyright.PENANAOU3celLLlN
「宇維少爺,我幫您泡紅茶吧。」謝綠提議。342Please respect copyright.PENANAf6z3HZRwTu
342Please respect copyright.PENANA1slfsmRRFg
「妳會泡嗎?」高宇維有點擔心。342Please respect copyright.PENANAUQk6i4FidS
342Please respect copyright.PENANA3OmTubQIxX
「呃,和綠茶差不多?」342Please respect copyright.PENANAEdYX42OHCR
342Please respect copyright.PENANAUKeSdYmnsQ
「……我教妳,妳來幫我。」342Please respect copyright.PENANAfUCltIoLMn
342Please respect copyright.PENANAxAcEnqJnvl
說著,一個指令一個動作。裝多少水、溫度幾度、泡幾分鐘……高宇維一步一步教,謝綠也一點一點學。當謝綠認真觀察茶葉,高宇維凝視她的側臉,竟然看到出神。342Please respect copyright.PENANAB2u6gSbbxo
342Please respect copyright.PENANAhdxuaXPOIi
342Please respect copyright.PENANAPZiMX5mx2D
──好像。342Please respect copyright.PENANArFmLseaidK
342Please respect copyright.PENANAmuz80x4mKZ
真的,太像了。342Please respect copyright.PENANAbCeNX7IINZ
342Please respect copyright.PENANA7r3YBDJsrn
令人懷念,也令人不安。342Please respect copyright.PENANA5XDUhz7uJO
342Please respect copyright.PENANA5IXIFr8UzU
342Please respect copyright.PENANA6qAknGLcPg
「宇維少爺?」342Please respect copyright.PENANADqxuAr0rr2
342Please respect copyright.PENANAxcxuzt4mUA
發現高宇維在發呆,謝綠揮了揮手,「還沒睡醒嗎?」342Please respect copyright.PENANAdyXV2cnVtS
342Please respect copyright.PENANAbeQ312dLrm
「……嗯,或許吧。」342Please respect copyright.PENANA9YBgdlU15n
342Please respect copyright.PENANAKW1af6iuTo
高宇維停止亂想,轉移話題問:「晴煬呢?」342Please respect copyright.PENANAEOjS7ClAVb
342Please respect copyright.PENANAmO7Syi4hKX
「又去墓園了。」謝綠表示:「他最近一直去,我覺得很奇怪。」342Please respect copyright.PENANAr5pUVht95L
342Please respect copyright.PENANAevBmDG2J6y
兩年前,黑教堂的事件結束,李晴煬變得異常安靜,常把自己關在房間,外出也只去A區的墓園,理由是「想跟小叔說話」。342Please respect copyright.PENANA7y2FITPo8y
342Please respect copyright.PENANAH3ncHQfsDM
跟謝綠吵架、拿吹風機嚇江云格、和尼可拉斯鬥嘴、毆打李博洋……以前會做的事,李晴煬這兩年都沒有做。雖然外表相同,但謝綠總感覺,李晴煬變成了「另一個人」。342Please respect copyright.PENANA3VQxgsF0L9
342Please respect copyright.PENANAF78C70GEgq
「宇維少爺,這是被吞噬的前兆嗎?」342Please respect copyright.PENANAzoCH1Qksga
342Please respect copyright.PENANAw6a7mE8lgy
犧牲李晴煬、喚醒李仲翔,在神與畜已經不是秘密,李晴煬本人也知道。謝綠反對歸反對,人還是留在神與畜,因為她絕不回謝氏。342Please respect copyright.PENANAj3Qvbpf0Wm
342Please respect copyright.PENANAwhy84IZZvB
「……我不知道。」342Please respect copyright.PENANAukxoWZuPKy
342Please respect copyright.PENANAk2ZMjTQ3lo
秘密不再是秘密,這些人還願意留在自己身邊,高宇維其實很高興。他終於學會和部下相處,君臣關係不再疏遠。342Please respect copyright.PENANAVlbomhivUH
342Please respect copyright.PENANAbra6Q7yWK1
「水果塔這東西,本來就存在很多未知,就像我的能力。」342Please respect copyright.PENANA9RaCupNuOf
342Please respect copyright.PENANAB1AaDhDon3
高宇維看向自己的手──一條空空的袖子,用他平平的聲音說:「有時要代價、有時又不用,我現在也摸不清『時間』的標準,只能靠經驗累積。」342Please respect copyright.PENANAeIMRIM81Ok
342Please respect copyright.PENANAmfUf9Q1BY6
「真正了解水果塔的,只有羅琳娜吧。」謝綠感慨地說。342Please respect copyright.PENANAlxjxMNEert
342Please respect copyright.PENANATAprUQHotP
「也許是。」高宇維想了想,「……也可能不是。」342Please respect copyright.PENANAfgbJ24qd2T
342Please respect copyright.PENANA57dcKyLks3
「咦?」342Please respect copyright.PENANAmvOUxb9WrM
342Please respect copyright.PENANAm3eqnUzxnR
「夏家的人造人實驗,最初是白絃提議的;Platinum也在研究水果塔,權限只對金允道和白石墨開放。」342Please respect copyright.PENANAt2KpknX0uD
342Please respect copyright.PENANAwhTRdmnLgr
高宇維看著泡好的紅茶,美麗的磚紅色,成品他很滿意。342Please respect copyright.PENANAJkiSWCydpv
342Please respect copyright.PENANAe8akjHi24I
「阿道夫教授的實驗報告,明確表示水果塔存在許多未知。」高宇維推測:「因為害怕『未知』影響『現狀』,白絃才沒有停止研究。」342Please respect copyright.PENANA2tWLDRSro3
342Please respect copyright.PENANAbm3rGDhFVx
「『現狀』?」謝綠覺得這個詞很怪,「什麼現狀?」342Please respect copyright.PENANALijXXczalC
342Please respect copyright.PENANAl2iBlOlK51
「仙境。」高宇維回答:「白絃最擔心她的仙境。」342Please respect copyright.PENANAfMT1tQ7TSv
342Please respect copyright.PENANAV8Be8xOGFQ
「……?」342Please respect copyright.PENANAIujfoZDocM
342Please respect copyright.PENANAPOz7toViVQ
「有機會再解釋,這很複雜。」高宇維嘆氣,「總之,我和白絃自以為掌控晴煬,事實卻相反;晴煬究竟發生什麼,只有他自己知道。」342Please respect copyright.PENANAjSHCnPFZS1
342Please respect copyright.PENANAdAlrv1T9pe
泡好紅茶,高宇維打算去外面。屋外有一張──又是白色的──長桌,高宇維喜歡在那裡喝茶、耗上一整天。謝綠正要幫忙端東西,江云格突然跑來廚房,表情很著急。342Please respect copyright.PENANANKh8kGfBKQ
342Please respect copyright.PENANAjqDhoOeHMJ
「宇維少爺。」江云格向他報告:「赫密士他們回來了。」342Please respect copyright.PENANAhC3kzR7AO8
342Please respect copyright.PENANA94xMjKDsPI
高宇維歪頭,「回來就回來,怎麼慌張成這樣?」342Please respect copyright.PENANA7V60fdC6ad
342Please respect copyright.PENANAbLIv7BkOAW
「因為……!」342Please respect copyright.PENANAK9fjJB0BU8
342Please respect copyright.PENANA8ehD7wEa3K
江云格還沒說,屋外傳來陌生的聲音,似乎是一個女孩在哀號:342Please respect copyright.PENANA97CbueahdN
342Please respect copyright.PENANAEPk7UHnboI
342Please respect copyright.PENANAP8RO41hGbX
「放開我……啊啊!好痛!好痛啊!!」342Please respect copyright.PENANAQw3ZOsXCnz
342Please respect copyright.PENANAgykZBLvwvR
342Please respect copyright.PENANAHArkJZR6dl
高宇維看向窗外。桃花林裡,尼可拉斯將一名少女的手抓在後方。少女死命掙扎,邊喊邊罵:342Please respect copyright.PENANAn1TXFGJjDP
342Please respect copyright.PENANArtMlUDLhpt
「臭流氓!誰准你這樣對本小姐,給我放手!」342Please respect copyright.PENANAmOujNHIXlf
342Please respect copyright.PENANAC42KNHSNbz
「吵死了。」342Please respect copyright.PENANA2xi2KFQVvv
342Please respect copyright.PENANAfMDGcfcVEO
尼可拉斯一手抓人,一手還抽著菸。他問一旁的里奧:「這小鬼是誰?」342Please respect copyright.PENANAeSakiqQIKN
342Please respect copyright.PENANA8kf6MJUYXm
里奧聳肩,指了指赫密士,「你自己問他。」342Please respect copyright.PENANArtl2hgE2aQ
342Please respect copyright.PENANAdtbf1xsMFz
「……。」342Please respect copyright.PENANAiBRF73CHVw
342Please respect copyright.PENANAJXm1EY3IvH
赫密士的表情很難看。雖然他平常臉色就不好,但今天除了不爽,還有擔憂、慌張、不知所措……非常複雜。高宇維走出來時,赫密士竟然露出求救的眼神,看著高宇維。342Please respect copyright.PENANAzW7hqfatGt
342Please respect copyright.PENANAcKL9zBJwH0
「唔!好痛,放手啦!!」342Please respect copyright.PENANAHeLOdfzAif
342Please respect copyright.PENANA8NF2gQ9jZ9
少女的表情不假,尼可拉斯真的抓很大力。高宇維命令將人放開,尼可拉斯這才鬆手。少女直起身子,抬頭看他們。342Please respect copyright.PENANASKdaqP1mdq
342Please respect copyright.PENANAUyF2rTByKw
「妳……!」342Please respect copyright.PENANAo0Wu3ansC7
342Please respect copyright.PENANAJwJgjdhP4t
謝綠嚇了一跳,因為少女的眼睛是紫色,和白絃一模一樣。342Please respect copyright.PENANA9W9Syfkyll
342Please respect copyright.PENANAV3Hp3HauNi
「終於找到你了,高宇維!」342Please respect copyright.PENANAyuko4V47nI
342Please respect copyright.PENANAw5596vMOLc
少女的頭髮是明亮的棕色,紫色的絲帶綁著雙馬尾,一身華麗的、羅莉塔風格的白色洋裝,洋裝上有可愛的裝飾品,都是紫色的水母。她撐著白色的花邊陽傘,紫色的鞋跟有Platinum的飛行器,整個人飄浮在空中,五官和白絃很像。342Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3WCPUaCcA
342Please respect copyright.PENANAvrYfy5I46c
「白欣濛?」342Please respect copyright.PENANAdPOhkeZcfN
342Please respect copyright.PENANAGwgIG4dtKy
高宇維認得她,忍不住挑眉,「Platinum的公主,怎麼不在陪審團?」342Please respect copyright.PENANAzWrsfyUOHD
342Please respect copyright.PENANAFB5UXBqkhR
「你以為我想來嗎!?真是的,地表的天氣是怎麼回事……溫度和濕度都不及格,一直流汗煩死了……!」342Please respect copyright.PENANACzTXhGmxqA
342Please respect copyright.PENANAO5fnyCetJN
名叫白欣濛的少女一直抱怨。同是十大家族出生,派翠克聽過她的名字,不可置信地說:342Please respect copyright.PENANACMbP0NvzLj
342Please respect copyright.PENANAaUV5G3vKf3
「白欣濛……Platinum司令的女兒?」342Please respect copyright.PENANAp7FywpP4xu
342Please respect copyright.PENANAd0i6caswcc
聽到派翠克的話,尼可拉斯覺得奇怪,「Platinum兄弟都沒結婚,哪來的女兒?」342Please respect copyright.PENANAAkhbapTfys
342Please respect copyright.PENANA3cAmj2naZQ
「具體我不清楚,但『Platinum的司令有對雙胞胎女兒』,我曾聽家人提過。」派翠克解釋:「聽說姊妹倆在陪審團長大,沒有來過地表,給人不食人間煙火的印象,外界都稱她們公主。」342Please respect copyright.PENANAxkEkEkVGy8
342Please respect copyright.PENANANs55LDHkBl
白欣濛的打扮,確實很符合「公主」的人設;但她為什麼出現在這,還對高宇維說「找到你了!」,案情似乎不單純。342Please respect copyright.PENANArfpQ4qYsUz
342Please respect copyright.PENANAVBBJpZfUfY
「我和哥哥回來的路上,赫密士突然聯絡我們,問我們人在哪。」342Please respect copyright.PENANAZJB3bbaBIg
342Please respect copyright.PENANAk3nNDn6E1S
葛蕾絲知道大家很困惑,連忙解釋:「我們碰面時,白欣濛已經在赫密士旁邊。她說自己前幾天從陪審團逃出來,Platinum出事了。」342Please respect copyright.PENANA890FCWcCXk
342Please respect copyright.PENANApIQLUNe6xp
「豈止出事!爸爸他們根本瘋了!」342Please respect copyright.PENANAMzB0z0GG5p
342Please respect copyright.PENANAEhUDreImoZ
白欣濛大叫,用告狀的口氣說:「他們和蜘蛛合作,還抓了白絃,要把她關於水果塔的記憶刪掉!」342Please respect copyright.PENANAc9vPZvhqru
342Please respect copyright.PENANAzvPU6zImfR
「……!」高宇維瞪大眼睛,「什麼?」342Please respect copyright.PENANAzAGUHudMCq
342Please respect copyright.PENANAL6sTZYUev6
「聽不懂嗎!?他們想讓白絃『忘記』,藉此消滅羅琳娜!」342Please respect copyright.PENANAL64KqIJ5I0
342Please respect copyright.PENANA3S3PVGBSV5
白欣濛說:「她如果就這麼忘記,世上就不存在能跟郭凝羽抗衡的人,到時候你……好痛!」342Please respect copyright.PENANAYwO8E4EBs5
342Please respect copyright.PENANAUY6kUQA3sA
這次不是尼可拉斯,而是里奧。他竟然揪住白欣濛的頭髮,兩眼矇上一層陰影,用恐怖又冰冷的聲音警告:342Please respect copyright.PENANA0tGCPO93Ue
342Please respect copyright.PENANAUVsFz3g6q8
342Please respect copyright.PENANAO6hRaK6vG7
「管好妳的嘴。」342Please respect copyright.PENANA39eQXcVw7a
342Please respect copyright.PENANAxePyCfHB5e
「誰准妳說那個名字?」342Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2RRN3NIn9
342Please respect copyright.PENANAzoCOiyJnmy
342Please respect copyright.PENANAYzRjdZ31E0
「……!」342Please respect copyright.PENANAV4PZdXiEuU
342Please respect copyright.PENANA1ssBjDlR80
白欣濛僵在原地,聲音都不敢發出來。高宇維走上前,用拐杖敲了敲里奧的手。342Please respect copyright.PENANAPNDWy82C3G
342Please respect copyright.PENANATUYS7JUstE
「好了好了。」342Please respect copyright.PENANAAY62YTijJQ
342Please respect copyright.PENANAIdB6E84zBI
高宇維一說,里奧才把人放開。白欣濛躲到赫密士身後,赫密士沒有反應,表情也沒變。342Please respect copyright.PENANAZbL0Lx0L7Y
342Please respect copyright.PENANAed9nycTxUA
「如果真是這樣,事情就麻煩了。」342Please respect copyright.PENANAwwP3UykvfQ
342Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9fA1ZjaXV
高宇維意外冷靜。比起白絃,他想先釐清一件事。342Please respect copyright.PENANAnoJHDpUZJ2
342Please respect copyright.PENANAoyQjE0iEsi
「你和她為什麼認識?」342Please respect copyright.PENANAtFb8XflYou
342Please respect copyright.PENANATlIxwvOxvU
高宇維問赫密士:「你不是討厭Platinum?」342Please respect copyright.PENANAArh4FMBdqq
342Please respect copyright.PENANAjbHH8GCZep
「……。」342Please respect copyright.PENANAYn1364lf1Z
342Please respect copyright.PENANANchPrGSHq0
白欣濛想幫忙回答,赫密士卻攔住她,並將白欣濛拉到背後,獨自面對高宇維。342Please respect copyright.PENANA7x1TJVw8gI
342Please respect copyright.PENANAkMF2PKddI4
342Please respect copyright.PENANA16oQjoKe3y
「……因為允希。」342Please respect copyright.PENANADTObFlbOJJ
342Please respect copyright.PENANA0JWLj7hstc
342Please respect copyright.PENANANzKxVw9Oe1
赫密士終於說話。高宇維瞇眼,口氣像在確認。342Please respect copyright.PENANArRUGCHD3Xt
342Please respect copyright.PENANAOlWEMrfWNE
「金允希,她的雙胞胎姊姊?」342Please respect copyright.PENANAdB5Mvz89tm
342Please respect copyright.PENANA96LCyUoW9U
「……嗯。」342Please respect copyright.PENANAH6CFbVBNPe
342Please respect copyright.PENANAkdhiVwXrUb
赫密士抬頭。仔細想,這好像是他第一次,跟高宇維提這方面的事。342Please respect copyright.PENANAJRCYCCdcTE
342Please respect copyright.PENANANFzyvWdFOH
342Please respect copyright.PENANANI9x5i7wEd
「我們正在交往。」342Please respect copyright.PENANAzI6RScGhEb
342Please respect copyright.PENANA8mjfx9uunS
「允希是我女友。」342Please respect copyright.PENANAFZcdlveYxJ
