說到新加索鎮最有錢的人,大家第一個想到的絕對是里奇 ‧ 小約翰 ‧ 奧朋先生。奧朋先生二十六年前帶著他的夫人到鎮上定居時,鎮民都覺得他瘋了。135Please respect copyright.PENANAiPIZT0bifh
135Please respect copyright.PENANAPlCQ3UoO5Y
「怎麼會有富人想住這啊?」135Please respect copyright.PENANA36uslc1Gdr
135Please respect copyright.PENANAbzQ3IYpoYb
「不會是通緝犯吧?」135Please respect copyright.PENANAghBcErH7UV
135Please respect copyright.PENANAufPYiQtT5d
「可能在躲債吧?」135Please respect copyright.PENANArp7eohAltR
135Please respect copyright.PENANAIqZSI6LHuU
流言蜚語一度鬧得很兇,但奧朋先生完全不當一回事,依舊自在的定居下來。135Please respect copyright.PENANA3y45qyzt6u
135Please respect copyright.PENANAo0vFydtVao
之後他們有了小孩,小孩也在新加索鎮內的學校就學並且成長。135Please respect copyright.PENANAc0A8nN0xSa
135Please respect copyright.PENANADk04feko83
長子愛德華繼承家業,高中畢業後跟隨父親做生意;長女莉絲華則是在今年高中畢業後,順利考上「邁加皇舖設計大學」,未來將主攻紡織設計。135Please respect copyright.PENANAVeekWx2vaP
135Please respect copyright.PENANAGHOE9M38xj
莉絲華在新加索鎮是小有名氣的美少女,跟希德珍碧兒同為鎮內的甜姊兒代表。只不過她從小在父母保護下成長,奧朋先生不讓她與異性有過多互動。135Please respect copyright.PENANAoppbuj5ghj
135Please respect copyright.PENANAof8wGnGYwN
今天鎮上的氣氛有些不一樣。莉絲華和哥哥到街上採買時,聽到鎮民們都在討論同一件事。135Please respect copyright.PENANATplZOdQ3lw
135Please respect copyright.PENANACad3NCaItz
「他們要回來了!真不簡單啊!」135Please respect copyright.PENANAaFazVGLNvy
135Please respect copyright.PENANAUJSvHI2oxW
「能夠順利畢業,代表真的有能力!」135Please respect copyright.PENANA55XuG4GHRn
135Please respect copyright.PENANALyBbQdnNEC
愛德華拋下莉絲華,擠到人群中打聽。135Please respect copyright.PENANAtUWBeRvRaE
135Please respect copyright.PENANA65jxSkhazq
「愛德華!」莉絲華見哥哥像一隻鬥雞衝到人群裡,有時她真的懷疑愛德華是不是有過動症。135Please respect copyright.PENANAxUsJh4mGSj
135Please respect copyright.PENANAta1vsjOq1p
「歡迎大家共襄盛舉!」原來之所以有人群,是因為梅特老爸「梅伯」在宣傳。135Please respect copyright.PENANAGhdd0XEK8P
135Please respect copyright.PENANAnvZHNt2Khq
「慶祝我們維爾科和珍碧兒從魔方培訓軍苑畢業!歡迎大家晚上到麵包店前參加餐會!」135Please respect copyright.PENANAh4Tek3z7eV
135Please respect copyright.PENANAwnHaC9fvI7
莉絲華站在一旁,靜待哥哥回來。過了一會,愛德華從人群中衝回莉絲華前面。135Please respect copyright.PENANAg5mIhsR6xE
135Please respect copyright.PENANAXJ33fhalBa
「你可以不要這樣嗎?」莉絲華無奈:「可以慢慢走,沒人趕你。」135Please respect copyright.PENANA9SXoFpBwVC
135Please respect copyright.PENANAKgXABsDdLh
「妳管我!」愛德華從梅伯那裡拿到一張手寫傳單:「妳看,他們今天晚上有餐會耶!還有這字誰寫的啊?醜到爆!」135Please respect copyright.PENANAGZ7J4C8dFe
135Please respect copyright.PENANAegIJ6Ytepf
「不干我們的事。」莉絲華往前走去:「走吧。」135Please respect copyright.PENANAS6l9R1iS27
135Please respect copyright.PENANA7v4AK3pzja
「我要去!」愛德華跳到莉絲華旁邊:「我超愛魔方,我要去看魔方!」135Please respect copyright.PENANArzRZwppnEw
135Please respect copyright.PENANAKWtLCm0ctp
「你晚上不是要跟爸爸去找軒尼伯伯他們嗎?」莉絲華搶走愛德華手上傳單:「請做好你該做的事!」135Please respect copyright.PENANAohVKcEsFJp
135Please respect copyright.PENANAuUlzn8ihUX
「我要去!」愛德華重申:「然後妳要一起。因為那兩個回來的人,是妳的小學同學吧?」135Please respect copyright.PENANASiyFen7wPR
135Please respect copyright.PENANAmVJReZx74L
「維爾科和珍碧兒……」莉絲華側頭想了一下,對他們印象不是很深刻。只記得叫維爾科的很窮,常看他在吃垃圾;然後珍碧兒長得很漂亮,都會跟維爾科一起出入。135Please respect copyright.PENANAAjyAcDhHEu
135Please respect copyright.PENANAxWuPdrxMT9
「我跟他們不熟。」莉絲華搖頭:「也不想去。」135Please respect copyright.PENANASB09AMkqk6
135Please respect copyright.PENANAcBbIrp4CeM
「妳要去,然後妳就用小學同窗的名義讓我接近他們。這樣我才可以看到魔方。」愛德華似乎一意孤行,莉絲華嘆了口氣。135Please respect copyright.PENANAwmSQLcWfVd
135Please respect copyright.PENANAtTOd7t9FCV
「就算我去,他們不見得還記得我啊。」莉絲華道:「而且我絕對不會主動找他們。你堅持去可以,但是你自己跟他們講要看魔方。」135Please respect copyright.PENANABemukeh2Eo
135Please respect copyright.PENANAoQ8xQeQcBT
「好啊,妳就跟在我旁邊,交涉我來。」愛德華點頭:「跟媽媽講,她會同意讓我帶妳去的。自從妳高中畢業後,整天待在家等大學開學。妳看妳,頭都長菌了!」135Please respect copyright.PENANAFEDcj20Cjo
135Please respect copyright.PENANAN0pJmDFiju
「這不是菌,這是金粉。」莉絲華白了哥哥好大一眼。135Please respect copyright.PENANACe9ZITRPkB

※135Please respect copyright.PENANAzx0bkPN3bo
135Please respect copyright.PENANAuolGJoGyZU
晚上,愛德華帶著莉絲華,兄妹倆來到平常根本不會來的「房價低廉區」,準備一睹魔方風采。135Please respect copyright.PENANAIB5GirWvBH
135Please respect copyright.PENANAHvr6rs9Dbs
「好多人喔!」莉絲華看著熱鬧的餐會,吃驚道。135Please respect copyright.PENANAValCcNNZhp
135Please respect copyright.PENANAu5BAeOk7nd
這裡的氣氛跟住家那邊截然不同。大家感情似乎都很好,可以自由進入別人家。135Please respect copyright.PENANAKdQmEjwkpd
135Please respect copyright.PENANAUZXzgfylWc
「欸!妳看!他們在那邊!」愛德華像發現寶藏一樣大叫。莉絲華往他所指的方向看去,只見兩位長得非常漂亮俊美的年輕女孩和男孩,正在接受大家祝賀。135Please respect copyright.PENANAl4AWrX0LqP
135Please respect copyright.PENANASOYthmri59
「他們就是珍碧兒和維爾科吧?」愛德華興奮地問道,莉絲華側頭想了一下。135Please respect copyright.PENANAkjAwmltyy7
135Please respect copyright.PENANAMEAY3D6WZ6
女孩是珍碧兒沒錯。雖然已經長大,但五官依舊看得出是孩童時的珍碧兒。135Please respect copyright.PENANAnRdLA7bfmX
135Please respect copyright.PENANAnNXeZcqGbN
然而男孩似乎不是維爾科。眼前跟珍碧兒挨在一起的男孩長得非常俊美,有一頭白金色頭髮和翠綠色雙瞳。135Please respect copyright.PENANA4YASit10rs
135Please respect copyright.PENANAqPoZE8Ycii
莉絲華依稀記得小時候的維爾科髮色好像是深褐色的,五官也沒有這麼立體。135Please respect copyright.PENANATuMbxDsMB7
135Please respect copyright.PENANAUh5QK4ASHn
「看起來是情侶欸!我怎麼都不知道這個鎮還有長這麼漂亮的居民啊?」愛德華白目的一席話,引起經過的鎮民白眼。135Please respect copyright.PENANAwIbdZw08SW
135Please respect copyright.PENANAODbaicbVyr
「男生好像不是維爾科的樣子。」莉絲華道:「他應該不是長這樣。不過如果他不是維爾科,那他又是誰呢?」135Please respect copyright.PENANAquk1DFHygs
135Please respect copyright.PENANAXfabQZjQVP
彷彿在幫莉絲華解答,有人喊道:「珍碧兒!這位男孩是誰啊?」135Please respect copyright.PENANAIdnDbkWoaf
135Please respect copyright.PENANAj3eGtBKHMW
珍碧兒紅著臉看了男孩一眼:「他叫蘇威,是我的男朋友。」135Please respect copyright.PENANATm7I1ZmnKU
135Please respect copyright.PENANAfyVRGChzS5
蘇威一手搭住珍碧兒肩膀,引起民眾一陣起鬨。135Please respect copyright.PENANAu5PpwYoACF
135Please respect copyright.PENANAM5N4FYMBSH
「原來是珍碧兒的男朋友!一樣也是魔方軍欸!超酷的!」愛德華說完,立刻朝他們方向衝去。135Please respect copyright.PENANAdNYBrS1Jn4
135Please respect copyright.PENANACdfDpqYx7I
自己的哥哥又像鬥雞衝走了,莉絲華很是無奈。只能來到人少的地方等哥哥回來。135Please respect copyright.PENANAj20csHlRNg
135Please respect copyright.PENANA159IFdkZy1
話說回來,維爾科到底是什麼樣子的人呢?莉絲華稍微用力的回憶了一下。135Please respect copyright.PENANAwBwZuij6gc
135Please respect copyright.PENANAMNg4zstC3f
記得他的手指頭超級黑,身上總是飄著各種機油的味道。135Please respect copyright.PENANAJKYWLxX5gt
135Please respect copyright.PENANAX17L4nrd3i
功課好像還不錯,不是什麼讓老師頭痛的人物。莉絲華想了一會,發現自己對維爾科的印象僅只於此,便不再多想。135Please respect copyright.PENANAwiNGV3F640
135Please respect copyright.PENANA46dtGfig5d
就在這時,她看到正被梅特拿麵包夾敲頭的維爾科。135Please respect copyright.PENANAMBNKSXxZ0y
135Please respect copyright.PENANATwOYAVBD0U
「你吃到我明天要給客人的麵包啦!你還吃!還吃!」梅特追在維爾科後面氣喊,後者嘴裡塞滿麵包,邊快速咀嚼邊跑進另一棟房子。135Please respect copyright.PENANAUZXWJQzN5F
135Please respect copyright.PENANAgKiW2Tc48U
是小偷嗎?莉絲華抿嘴,果然這裡的治安很不好吶!135Please respect copyright.PENANAG58NsvDND7
135Please respect copyright.PENANAZLJgwI4XmP
餐會進行到一半,見愛德華終於要離開珍碧兒兩人身邊,莉絲華連忙上前催促他離開。135Please respect copyright.PENANAkUOHLWJlCq
135Please respect copyright.PENANAGRHazicNRf
「等一下啦!讓我再跟他們說幾句!」愛德華掙脫莉絲華的手,又朝珍碧兒兩人跑去:「可不可以再魔方一次給我看?」135Please respect copyright.PENANAOeI2O6A5vZ
135Please respect copyright.PENANAreo0LXOtYG
莉絲華無奈地站在原地,這時她不經意地撇頭往後方看去,正好跟坐在不遠處和農森聊天的維爾科對到眼。135Please respect copyright.PENANAsM5d3W8sqf
135Please respect copyright.PENANAogcf4CEzYf
莉絲華愣了一下。維爾科看了她一眼,接著轉回視線繼續跟農森講話。135Please respect copyright.PENANAgnIj0bBjDs
135Please respect copyright.PENANAZovU0gm6OC
「我好了!我們去軒尼伯伯那裡吧!」愛德華一掌拍向莉絲華的背:「他們提供的麵包滿好吃的!我拿了好多!」 135Please respect copyright.PENANALtBLhRRdHd
135Please respect copyright.PENANAWZDZpVoGB3
「我想起來了,那個人好像就是維爾科、」莉絲華指向維爾科,但愛德華不感興趣,自顧自地往轎車走去。135Please respect copyright.PENANApiP5yCBOFE
135Please respect copyright.PENANA7hEYVbBQeI

(五天後)(鎮中心廣場)135Please respect copyright.PENANAjOqYK2Odzg
135Please respect copyright.PENANA2KQWjL6Cje
剛從邁加城採買完上大學所需物品的莉絲華和哥哥回到鎮上,熱愛魔方的愛德華恰巧看到戴著魔方的傑戈,於是主動纏上人家,吵著要看魔方。135Please respect copyright.PENANA4aYIU0lTK6
135Please respect copyright.PENANAfJFLgWLOMU
然而傑戈的魔方表演變相成無賴把妹,意外出現解圍的維爾科,讓莉絲華的思緒久久無法平復。135Please respect copyright.PENANAY4gTKbqYdC
135Please respect copyright.PENANAinC2f4U11v
當天晚上,莉絲華和父親一起去參加鎮長家派對的路上,她試探性的問父親是否知道維爾科背景。135Please respect copyright.PENANA1RxPcmdai0
135Please respect copyright.PENANAOCfsLRCiKx
「沒聽過,葉門這個姓氏聽起來就是住在牆壁邊的社會底層。」坐在莉絲華旁邊的奧朋先生悠閒地擦拭單眼眼鏡:「不過妳說的這個維爾科,我沒記錯的話就是那名剛畢業的魔方軍吧?我有聽愛德華提過。」135Please respect copyright.PENANANq3l6a6p8p
135Please respect copyright.PENANAwS3k1jTXsY
「媽媽會不會比較清楚呢?她常常跟不特定的阿姨們在咖啡廳聊天,說不定有跟維爾科的媽媽碰面過。」莉絲華邊說邊梳理頭髮,奧朋先生戴上眼鏡,一臉有趣地看著她。135Please respect copyright.PENANA5nUCD8XXQ2
135Please respect copyright.PENANAKa1v2Zbpki
「莉莉,是發生了什麼事讓妳對那名叫作維爾科的魔方軍這麼好奇?如果妳想的話,我可以親自去找他詢問。」135Please respect copyright.PENANAS9L1KLqrmA
135Please respect copyright.PENANA06t5rUNQLw
「哦!沒有!我沒有很想知道,他也沒那麼特別。」莉絲華想起自己好意借維爾科手巾卻被打回票,於是賭氣否認。135Please respect copyright.PENANAwpn5l9VQpq
135Please respect copyright.PENANAN8tLV8JxFU
在派對上玩樂一陣子後,正在彈琴助興的莉絲華被突然闖入派對的髒亂維爾科嚇了一跳。135Please respect copyright.PENANADavhVyDy6j
135Please respect copyright.PENANAGoupIVgjUG
只見維爾科渾身泥濘又狼狽不堪,不仔細看還以為是剛從水溝上來的流浪漢。正當眾人以為他是來乞食時,維爾科卻帶來恐怖又糟糕的訊息,異獸竟然破牆了! 135Please respect copyright.PENANAuRkjonYjmz
135Please respect copyright.PENANAaTE4yeQP4h
接下來的事發生得又快又急,莉絲華只記得父親緊抓她的手跟著一群人擠進地下室避難!然而沒多久便聽到鐵門撞擊聲,門外的維爾科大聲嚷著要破壞鐵門跟大家同歸於盡,還威脅他們全滾出來坐他魔方的巴士逃難。135Please respect copyright.PENANAykFQJXytf8
135Please respect copyright.PENANAkepPSobJrN
在場沒有人敢出聲。莉絲華害怕地看向父親,父親看了她一眼,接著高舉雙手,要大家聽他說。135Please respect copyright.PENANAJX8myIK6wL
135Please respect copyright.PENANAgdZ9QhQRoV
「他說得對,我們不能待在這裡。那隻異獸的攻擊範圍太大了,一兩次或許還行,但是第三次呢?這裡還頂得住嗎?」奧朋先生沉重道:「門外那傢伙現在是我們唯一的希望,雖然他口氣狂妄又目中無人,不曉得自己在跟誰說話,但現階段保命要緊,以後再慢慢跟他算帳。」 135Please respect copyright.PENANACL9AJVWUl8
135Please respect copyright.PENANA6gApGjJX2K
「我不要出去!我們躲在這裡很安全,異獸看不到我們!出去無疑是送死!要去你自己去!」135Please respect copyright.PENANAc7sM53N4Qn
135Please respect copyright.PENANAA755x5Q77F
聽到反對聲浪,奧朋先生收起紳士表情,惡狠狠地瞪著聲音來源。135Please respect copyright.PENANAiNNoAIeDvG
135Please respect copyright.PENANA2iG3kD27SK
「看不到我們?怎麼?你們還妄想跟異獸求饒嗎?一群苟活在牆內的肥鼠,被安逸侵蝕掉大腦還沾沾自喜!」奧朋先生牽起莉絲華的手,拉著她走到鐵門前拉開鐵門:「莉莉別怕,跟好爸爸,別離開我的視線。」135Please respect copyright.PENANAudksedTg5e
135Please respect copyright.PENANAjN5yAVFvVR
或許是從眾效應,他們走出鐵門不久後,一群人也跟著他們後腳走,最後大家都坐上維爾科魔方好的巴士離開。135Please respect copyright.PENANAnb4derHOtt
135Please respect copyright.PENANAIUxZ0tuNwy
「爸爸,你不該對他那麼兇的,他是在救我們。」撤離的路上,莉絲華握緊父親的手埋怨。135Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1bu9IbFAI
135Please respect copyright.PENANANPXzzjLvys
「他如果能毫髮無傷地把我們所有人救出去,我就寫一張感謝狀給他。」奧朋先生說完轉頭看向後方,眉頭瞬間大皺:「大家快趴下!」他大喊。135Please respect copyright.PENANAq8717raBeR
135Please respect copyright.PENANA7f2dGPZUVX
異獸射出的能量波宛如光刀橫切而來!巴士頂部隨即整片被削去!135Please respect copyright.PENANADpFSdrMOGl
135Please respect copyright.PENANAbdGrGPi6NV
「爸爸!」莉絲華尖叫,巴士魔方開始瓦解,直往一旁運河衝去!135Please respect copyright.PENANAei7eFDRE3v
135Please respect copyright.PENANAUE5gIimlPU
所幸巴士在墜河前,被及時趕來的第三守衛軍救下,眾人隨即被帶往市中心醫院檢查傷勢。135Please respect copyright.PENANA7CnkQ0sEJv
135Please respect copyright.PENANACqzAc5p0D3
由於只有輕微擦挫傷,奧朋父女包紮完準備離開醫院時,正巧撞見被帶出手術室的維爾科。135Please respect copyright.PENANAzIHlLByezT
135Please respect copyright.PENANAwnEJ4p1HHy
「那是維爾科!」莉絲華正想追過去看,立刻被父親攔下。135Please respect copyright.PENANAAoqlJ6NRoy
135Please respect copyright.PENANA73KepKTvgb
「妳過去沒有任何幫助,這裡的外科醫生技術很好,交給他們處理吧!」奧朋先生道:「晚點我再送感謝狀到他服役的單位感謝他,也不追究他的言行了,讓他好好養傷。」135Please respect copyright.PENANARSv5P4bmUN
135Please respect copyright.PENANAr55evHzH81
「除了寫感謝狀,我們不能再多做些什麼嗎?」莉絲華不捨地望著躺在床上,身上插著一堆導管被推進電梯的維爾科:「他為了救我們才變這樣……」135Please respect copyright.PENANAaJoMlymHqt
135Please respect copyright.PENANAlisJv5MJ0s
「嗯,關於這點我們回家後可以好好想想,我也可以調查維爾科 ‧ 葉門的背景。」奧朋先生挑眉:「我是該好好調查,就從他曾祖父母那一輩開始。」135Please respect copyright.PENANAE3Xn7WfA2b
