昂天歷995年,帝國統治著全太陽系,不到十歲的亞克兄弟已經在海王星出了名。據說,遇到那兩個傢伙,身上一定會少幾樣東西⸺錢財、衣物,或是天真。533Please respect copyright.PENANASNxwJpAk6P
533Please respect copyright.PENANA8XQ6NfirUh
大的亞克:奧賽羅天資聰穎,擅長分辨居民和觀光客的行為模式,知道誰可以扒、誰會醉倒在路邊、誰能用話術拐騙。533Please respect copyright.PENANApc9zIDjSRY
533Please respect copyright.PENANAH2cj0DuZpA
小的亞克:西賽羅身手矯健,總是能實行哥哥的計畫。摸走包包衣物、賣弄演技乞討,都難不倒他。533Please respect copyright.PENANAcOIK1I7g0c
533Please respect copyright.PENANAvYjZ4HlI6Q
亞克就像邊境的代名詞⸺品行低劣、無法無天,但那並不是他們的真正姓氏。帝國底層的「單名階級」常常一出生就被拋棄,擁有一個共同稱呼、結黨成行,才不用獨自面對殘酷世界。533Please respect copyright.PENANAUAy7xUVGZs
533Please respect copyright.PENANA4JB1mPKCRm
「好念又好記,嘿嘿,我真會取。」533Please respect copyright.PENANAsUrcTf0dQE
533Please respect copyright.PENANAaMoYkmoZdW
西賽羅躺在皮草大衣鋪成的床墊裡,對頭上的風扇自豪。他的眉毛和嘴角總是高高掛著。533Please respect copyright.PENANAB5XZ4bZLAL
533Please respect copyright.PENANAOlF0mZWkLR
「是哦……哪來的靈感?」533Please respect copyright.PENANAp6OSwT2lEg
533Please respect copyright.PENANAVEHDYa5UcD
奧賽羅坐在弟弟旁邊,專心攪拌杯子裡的粉末。能住進通氣管路的頂級地段,都得歸功於他的探究精神。533Please respect copyright.PENANAwgj7DChVJ3
533Please respect copyright.PENANAeYUJGCZpBG
「亞克就是『方舟』!一種很大的船,比整個站還大……很久以前,有些地球人坐方舟到很遠的太陽去生活,新聞說帝國要找出他們。」533Please respect copyright.PENANA6bTOPRj1l1
533Please respect copyright.PENANAQfwkni2dLc
「帝國是去搶錢的啦,你也要去搶嗎?」奧賽羅理性批評,不願讓弟弟思緒跑太遠,遞出了手中那杯褐色液體。533Please respect copyright.PENANAAdoqVHXJyl
533Please respect copyright.PENANAhFZyufyQpR
「不知道……能夠離開這個地方,去哪裡都好……」西賽羅接過杯子直接灌下,整張臉皺成了一團,「好苦!什麼東西啦!」533Please respect copyright.PENANA2JjW6xaAJT
533Please respect copyright.PENANADhzC9qrUgk
「即溶咖啡,商會製品。」奧賽羅拿回杯子淺嚐,跟著吐出舌頭,「嘔……難怪會在垃圾堆!」533Please respect copyright.PENANAQx3YE42OeP
533Please respect copyright.PENANABdAM0KNvvX
笑鬧聲在通風口迴響。也許,接受那個苦澀才能順利長大成人。哥哥看著弟弟,不禁想像華麗大船載著他們衝破閉塞世界,航往新天地的景色。533Please respect copyright.PENANAd7KaXwbU6G
533Please respect copyright.PENANA5Hkd8JSlki
「西賽……有個方法可以讓我們離開這裡……」533Please respect copyright.PENANAoHyiUe8zYm
533Please respect copyright.PENANAzp6CHGP4h1
「真的?哥的計畫總是會成功,說吧!」533Please respect copyright.PENANAlON70ZaSGj
533Please respect copyright.PENANAjAUeYsSKQ7
雙拳相碰,象徵血緣的信賴永不分離。數日後,兄弟倆毅然決然地踏入「諾鎧」工廠。533Please respect copyright.PENANA1X0fC1p0Pi
533Please respect copyright.PENANAQHHDQejsKr
身體改造手術加上精神連結實驗、死亡率高達七成的高風險粗工,他們都撐了過去。爛命一條也能賭到大獎,在谷底出生,從此之後只會扶搖直上。533Please respect copyright.PENANAk2koVwP6Ow
533Please respect copyright.PENANAuoUWAGaal3
海王星的命運亦同。533Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2vfp9Ct1u
533Please respect copyright.PENANAhRVEOztDH4
帝國遠征行動帶來契機,偏僻太空站變成連通外宇宙的貨運樞紐。商會組織日益壯大,一個名叫札廣的男子爬上高層,用狠毒手段消滅理事制度,以寡頭鐵腕擴展犯罪經濟。533Please respect copyright.PENANA37DEPEgdzS
533Please respect copyright.PENANAa3lioLmhsD
精明能幹的兄弟也接受徵招,正式迎接他們的黃金年代。期間歷經新月崛起、帝國內亂,政局如何改變,都無法阻止海王星累積財富。533Please respect copyright.PENANAMkiuY9z2n5
533Please respect copyright.PENANAzhGHWKPiPi
昂天歷1010年,兩個亞克搬進公寓新家⸺上下層庫房打通的秘密基地。533Please respect copyright.PENANArcY8dIEpqM
533Please respect copyright.PENANAvqU49uATUR
「哥,你覺得……人類能夠改變嗎?」533Please respect copyright.PENANAwlCWWObwEY
533Please respect copyright.PENANApkzVDIm7En
長大的西賽羅靠在陽台上,遙望站內的芸芸眾生。叛逆龐克髮型、拉風紅夾克,看似充滿自信,脫口而出卻是無奈,「我……能夠改變他們嗎?」533Please respect copyright.PENANA7Qp0KoQW53
533Please respect copyright.PENANAqiLfyI0HTQ
「別想破頭了,你不是那種料。」依舊尖酸的奧賽羅站在玄關,不想讓人造日光曬到邋遢睡衣。冰箱旁的沖泡機發出嗶聲,咖啡香氣瞬間瀰漫。533Please respect copyright.PENANAVfltZbj6yo
533Please respect copyright.PENANAr2AMUSp6SM
「喏,特里頓三號私藏豆,慶祝新居落成。」533Please respect copyright.PENANA58CAc9aJN7
533Please respect copyright.PENANAXeA25Gz4xV
「謝啦!」弟弟接過哥哥手上瓷杯,想起當初的艱困日子,「幾年前,我們還在喝化學粉末加廢水泡的東西呢……真神奇。」533Please respect copyright.PENANAT8tO3Y8A4k
533Please respect copyright.PENANAUiLHz6EY1Y
只要抓緊羈絆,境遇絕對能夠改變。西賽羅深吸一口氣,闡明心中想法。533Please respect copyright.PENANA2zZcAVOAJT
533Please respect copyright.PENANADbG5yMb7jw
「哥……幾乎每天,我都會看到跟我們一樣的孤兒死在路上,跟垃圾一起被燒成灰……我常常在想,他們的方舟在哪裡?我的方舟……能戴多少人?這條命到底有什麼意義呢⸺聽過凱笛希父女嗎?他們也是自己取的姓氏,甚至還要串聯殖民地推翻帝國,我想要建議札廣老闆……」533Please respect copyright.PENANAK6PPxtXKGT
533Please respect copyright.PENANAkOGzKcKI0a
「那是戰爭,太危險了!」533Please respect copyright.PENANAWKqFGhCl2Z
533Please respect copyright.PENANALD6CUDll4B
奧賽羅第一次這麼大聲說話,自己也被嚇到。533Please respect copyright.PENANAI477dYhlCh
533Please respect copyright.PENANAjlLkWs6d7J
「我們……我們活得好好的啊?人類哪救得完,用暴力只會沒完沒了……」533Please respect copyright.PENANAsVHtPz1m1I
533Please respect copyright.PENANANHoKWHMGqh
「我知道,我只能盡力而為……但是,哥不需要像我以樣,也能夠改變世界。」533Please respect copyright.PENANAoRAUYZNnhM
533Please respect copyright.PENANAVym9biJibn
西賽羅遞回空杯,用灑脫口吻附上一個提案,「和平重工⸺實力至上的宇宙企業,哥的頭腦不輸內環人,穀神星的職訓學校,最適合你這天才啦。」533Please respect copyright.PENANA5s0DNBDAxH
533Please respect copyright.PENANAQHrfScIwn2
「別傻,那邊至少要中階國民資格……」533Please respect copyright.PENANAEb14QpVw4R

「哪有錢買不到的東西?偽造身份什麼的,簡單啦!」533Please respect copyright.PENANAHtnV9Uqc0f
533Please respect copyright.PENANALlzvFdQhJU
希望的雙掌搭上猶豫的肩膀,一縷光輝照進房間暗處。奧賽羅知道自己無法回絕,也無法壓抑內心悸動。他發誓,不管到哪裡落腳、不管換成什麼名字,永遠都不會拋棄亞克這個歸屬。533Please respect copyright.PENANAZF6R0Z3kre
533Please respect copyright.PENANA5yZSnvQbvw
新的目標、新的未來,兩個亞克會一起實現。533Please respect copyright.PENANAAqdff2GpSO
533Please respect copyright.PENANAk0ybgNsADl
為了幫派殺人,他們痛哭;為了同個女孩打完架,他們躺在樓頂大笑。弟弟的臉被砍到送醫,哥哥毫不猶豫用上所有財產;哥哥缺少實驗器材,弟弟總會全力尋找入手管道。533Please respect copyright.PENANAjpb13tdedW
533Please respect copyright.PENANA42nJZDdljb
多少困難都熬過了,真正考驗才要降臨。533Please respect copyright.PENANA8bCNGG6iPE
533Please respect copyright.PENANAJbgWs3QUFj
外環聯盟OBU的獨立抗爭日漸激化,帝國派系不得不著手處理。時局逼使之下,商會也必須表態。533Please respect copyright.PENANAPZr3HZLKFn
533Please respect copyright.PENANAlEufoqvXBT
一艘新月戰艦為了施壓而停進太空站,情勢劍拔弩張。533Please respect copyright.PENANARK3I3tjq52
533Please respect copyright.PENANA2ehP8Xe4Eo
聽到札廣決定攻擊,西賽羅熱血沸騰。他終於能幫底層階級宣示力量,讓世界知道,他們不是只會低聲下氣的奴僕。533Please respect copyright.PENANAyAl5ihMxv1
533Please respect copyright.PENANA4I6tyzsvLW
但,他沒有告知奧賽羅這場行動,因為哥哥有不同的路要走,危險的事就讓自己面對。只要成功,方舟就能拯救大家;只要成功,就能得到財富,讓哥哥實現夢想。533Please respect copyright.PENANAGtazZbTZKB
533Please respect copyright.PENANAbHGCwHC9kK
結果,行動失敗了。533Please respect copyright.PENANAyJJLM6C4Qc
533Please respect copyright.PENANA2OxvUlH1VH
札廣之外的共謀者全數被捕、送交軍法審判。海王星拒絕加入OBU,保持中立免於戰火。和平的代價,對太空站來說微乎其微。弟弟的下場傳到哥哥手中,只用幾個文字就打發掉⸺流放宇宙死刑。533Please respect copyright.PENANAacGQWhtcDH
533Please respect copyright.PENANAeI72BeT7qZ
日夜照樣輪替,卻再也沒有光芒能照進鎖緊的房門。時至現今……
「你的仇,俺可記得清清楚楚!奧賽羅⸺」533Please respect copyright.PENANAG0HiIqCSid
533Please respect copyright.PENANA9d2OUZtanr
札廣在辦公桌前跟對講機說話,同時翻著手邊雜誌。羅漢堂壞滅,計畫順利進行,還是得適時安撫「棋子」情緒。533Please respect copyright.PENANATsRYxec7vN
533Please respect copyright.PENANAVRBTTimx4Q
「當時,多虧你願意忍耐,咱們才能跟新月軍斡旋……那些日子沒有白廢掉,你幫商會累積技術實力,成功打造我們的軍隊,反攻之日就快到了……想想你弟弟的遺願吧!再忍一下,不要像他那樣擅自行動。」533Please respect copyright.PENANA3OwfDkEbQO
533Please respect copyright.PENANAfOgK5tDtBo
粗短食指掛斷謊言,光頭領袖哼著歌,繼續享受漫畫上的鮮豔圖文。此時,一名面具男子走出牆邊陰影,左手的改造鐵爪發出喀答聲響。533Please respect copyright.PENANANlS21JkOu4
533Please respect copyright.PENANAPStKd0uqjB
「真敢講呢……明明奪走他們美夢的,就是您。」533Please respect copyright.PENANAe9MkdKsgFr
533Please respect copyright.PENANA7seck8hWVt
商會刺客⸺狼刃⸺一針見血地說。533Please respect copyright.PENANAVJACKWslgN
533Please respect copyright.PENANAftiiartJ7T
「哎,俺是幫他們釐清現實⸺西賽羅用生命換來和平,當個無名英雄總比死在街頭好……奧賽羅也不用去重工浪費才能,穀神星現在都變成邪教聖地啦……等等,他來了。」533Please respect copyright.PENANAWDDETX1UWa
533Please respect copyright.PENANA6FN9t6ENHz
腳步接近。狼刃拉下兜帽憑空消失,札廣則是收起權謀算計,笑臉迎接另一個被遺願所困的男人。533Please respect copyright.PENANATLDTdteks4
533Please respect copyright.PENANAjlvjaKVZev
「烏霸!傷口好點沒?多虧你們殺雞儆猴,『白蘭度家族』和『艾斯科瓦』都不敢作亂囉……現在,是海王星最團結的時刻。」533Please respect copyright.PENANAU4MKJzwTZT
533Please respect copyright.PENANAOyQIW9lEzU
「海王星……你只在乎自己吧?」533Please respect copyright.PENANADEXfc4ctxA
533Please respect copyright.PENANAwvp49BZb3L
銀髮劍士看到金主頭上多了一顆菱形飾品,想起丹從死人腦中取出的記憶晶片。533Please respect copyright.PENANAq9BMgfNWgI
533Please respect copyright.PENANAUkwxVqrhv3
「說,下個計畫是什麼?」533Please respect copyright.PENANAjIzglV653E
533Please respect copyright.PENANAso8MP6XofT
「這麼勤奮?很好很好……」札廣按下桌上按鈕,投影裝置顯現出星體圖像⸺滿是皺褶的淡黃地表被開了一個整齊的四方大洞,上頭寫著:Triton。533Please respect copyright.PENANAjlJxCCK48c
533Please respect copyright.PENANA5pbYPHKZ8M
「海衛一『特里頓農場』……我想收購一些土地,麻煩的是,那邊通訊設施壞很久了,需要有人去跟那群老古板交涉……」533Please respect copyright.PENANAkeC1c6o8iR
533Please respect copyright.PENANAm7Zs8Xdcla
「哦?這次要我去砍農夫嗎……不如,我現在就砍死你!」533Please respect copyright.PENANARPV0YMEwGQ
533Please respect copyright.PENANArwGV63q2ol
烏霸剛要拔刀,喉頭就傳來冰冷刺痛感。面具男子緊貼在銀髮劍士身後,鐵爪一劃就能割開他的動脈。533Please respect copyright.PENANAQHcC1CUFk0
533Please respect copyright.PENANAz2tk8hHL85
「嘻嘻,快砍啊,新來的。」533Please respect copyright.PENANA5f6rtnKIMP
533Please respect copyright.PENANAa5cLRxuJZ2
「狼刃……混帳……」記憶閃現,烏霸看過那個面具。就是那個面具在土星的決戰時刻救走敵將,害他無法幫米勒報仇,533Please respect copyright.PENANAmyUzShla6M
533Please respect copyright.PENANAhtWhK7XlL9
「你不是投靠新月軍了?」533Please respect copyright.PENANAiIEctEKq90

「STOP,兩位!不要只用肌肉思考⸺」札廣起身把雜誌滑到部下面前,讓他們接受藝術薰陶。533Please respect copyright.PENANAeT4toPqI3E
533Please respect copyright.PENANAsx5LTJNjjV
「看到這帥氣封面沒?『星際戰神亞特伍德』,出自本地最優秀的作者群……他是外星種族,驍勇善戰又充滿勇氣慈愛……簡直就是咱們,對吧?外環居民還有雪星之子,攜手合作、改善世界。」533Please respect copyright.PENANA2qxu1a9OcJ
533Please respect copyright.PENANAc9xWBPSVzw
滔滔不絕的推銷讓怒氣散去。銀髮劍士右手離開刀柄,喉頭的威脅也跟著卸除。533Please respect copyright.PENANAXsGKJffQax
533Please respect copyright.PENANADsU9mEQ5LE
札廣把最新商品塞給烏霸,獨自走向綠意盎然的植栽牆,捧起一盆小松。533Please respect copyright.PENANA9a9Ne55XEV
533Please respect copyright.PENANANcw5s8mA4P
「摸摸看內頁,那個觸感……你可知道在太陽系,『木材紙』是貴族階級才能擁有的珍品⸺但風水輪流轉!重工瓦解、科技遺失,電子紙再過幾年就會變成沒用的塑膠片……商會已經研發出天然纖維合成技術,只要確保原料供應,就能把我們奔放自由的創意印出來,來個『文化大反攻』……」533Please respect copyright.PENANARbIQlLiCaw
533Please respect copyright.PENANAUl4TwDr3b7
「所以,你想買地種樹。」烏霸放下書刊,半信半疑地問道:「我跟農場這樣講就好了?」533Please respect copyright.PENANAeVf9toBTv1
533Please respect copyright.PENANA2POCzU3nYR
「對、對……我最喜歡種樹,樹從不予取予求,給它光和水,它就會給我們氧氣、給我們遮蔭……農場會理解,除了赤藻這種短期作物,還有更多值得栽培的選擇。」533Please respect copyright.PENANAOhcSvMlPGE
533Please respect copyright.PENANAXb7PgZvRhK
「哼……」劍士皺著眉頭,轉身走出辦公室。刺客狼刃也提起行囊,準備跟去監視。533Please respect copyright.PENANAtX8P2G87FG

533Please respect copyright.PENANAFmQ3qCBcoX
劍士與刺客一前一後到達星際港口,搭乘開往海衛一的運輸船。路上,他們看到不少『電子淨土』信徒,舉著牌子懇求穀神星的便車。到那邊才能住進網路世界、與AI一起航向外宇宙。533Please respect copyright.PENANAOSaGt7T2Ps
533Please respect copyright.PENANAsE4LsMWizv
烏霸反芻自己現世的使命,一屁股坐進貴賓席,把椅背壓到最低,干擾後座的狼刃,「喂,混帳……你最近去過穀神對吧?」533Please respect copyright.PENANAtC8yzGd4RF
533Please respect copyright.PENANABkPkqqtKGG
「新人……從剛剛就在耍什麼腦殘?別把我跟那些軟弱的廢物相提並論,沒有能力生存,儘管去投奔虛像,留在這裡也只會浪費食物……如果我有去穀神,一定是去幫他們超生的……懂了就閉嘴!」533Please respect copyright.PENANAY0p029DVrT
533Please respect copyright.PENANACnk25d3pFg
狼刃依舊不承認,那些尖銳話語聽起來出自真心。烏霸回頭默默拼湊線索⸺當初遭遇面具客時,他的身形看起來確實跟現在有所落差……但軀體容易改造,旁邊那個與亞克博士相似的背影也令人在意……533Please respect copyright.PENANAYWlXFZxbx3
533Please respect copyright.PENANADnxPXjWpwQ
無數疑問跟著船艦緩緩升空。同時間,另一批商會人士也正要啟程。

隸屬白蘭度家族的黑幫幹部低頭報備。他的主子⸺身穿燕尾服、頭戴高帽的中年紳士睜大眼睛,興致勃勃地打量今天的伴遊女郎。533Please respect copyright.PENANAzBUn5nv658

一雙高跟木屐撐著玲瓏雙腿,筆直交錯地踏過港口地面。緊繃的開衩短裙讓所有路人控制不住目光,想要一窺她被傘遮住的背影。533Please respect copyright.PENANAiPhlUzQmdd

收折紙傘、彎腰鞠躬,綁帶包不住的豐滿美胸在寬鬆領口下若隱若現。雪白嫩肌跟絲絨和服一樣純淨,也讓全身的暗紅傷疤格外明顯。左手銀色義肢撫過秀髮,反射著殘缺的妖豔。過去千瘡百孔,她卻不吝於大方展露。533Please respect copyright.PENANAiHiWeWXznD

艙門關緊、加壓完成,密閉空間中只剩兩人的氣息。紳士縱容面對儀錶板,握緊方向桿,「女孩,願意與我共舞一支嗎?在藥廠預定地⸺『特里頓』的見證之下。」533Please respect copyright.PENANAxgRFsA1rwQ
