：別被外表給欺騙了
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRh2f8ZNsu
「發生什麼事了！」哈吉爾一聽見湯花急切的叫，不顧二郎還在更衣室內大喊著叫他回來，直直衝進泡湯區。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVPys4NsKF
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAg6V3iFvB
憑著聲音衝破霧氣來到淋浴區，哈吉爾低頭，深怕看到不該看的東西只敢盯著地面，卻看到趴在地面的和梨，不禁睜大了眼。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqHrff2hcw
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXkGlFYzl8
「和——」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkuWx3VXe3
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVBKTXUnNL
「你來得正好。」湯花指著泛著漣漪的池子那頭，「和梨是被那隻怪物傷成這樣的，你去看一下。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEqugsfV1c
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieQZW6XBOi
起初看到光著身子的和梨時內心還閃過片刻的羞澀，哈吉爾隨即注意到她身上不規則的瘀青及傷口，心情轉為擔心，然而在聽到湯花的話語後，他內心便是一把火衝上來。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsvrCqj3y3
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5clAh8i3np
即使毫不猶豫地將腳尖轉向了，他仍不忘確認，「妳有看到怪物長怎樣嗎？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFoKC7QJ1x
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf1Jtiwe0s
「本體在水裡，我沒看到，只有看到透明觸手縮回去了。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErxdABkuAF
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y49KmGUDB
接著便是一陣無人開口的寂靜，哈吉爾遲遲沒有過去，似乎是在思考著什麼，畢竟貿然行動可是討罰怪物時的大忌。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsImDOlj9y
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsGhbL7RRp
直到二郎從更衣室裡追出來才打破現場的沉默。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVEvg6c0Ns
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNND8BKqwZ
「怎麼回事？」他把剛才費了數十秒才找到的乾淨浴巾扔給湯花，後者立刻將其鋪蓋在和梨身上，「池子裡有怪物。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjLE91CNC0
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEbdSb2ILg
二郎認識的怪物種類並不多，水中生物就更少了，他只能聯想到不久前在河裡遭遇到的怪物。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93achJha17
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3eH1Io2pA
一不注意就會奪取同伴性命的怪物。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZCNFOBpqz
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwpAC0L2DZ
腰際的兩把武士刀在衝刺的步伐間碰撞著，哈吉爾聽見身後開始了疾速腳步聲，當陣風從身旁越過，他一把拉住對方，「二郎你等一下！」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTMfWnl0t7
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyyaRCuWN2
「妳先帶著和梨離開這裡。」哈吉爾先是轉頭對著湯花喊道，見對方搭著和梨的肩踉蹌離開，他這才鬆開手對二郎解釋，「你不知道是什麼怪物吧？貿然過去太危險了。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDurEguuMcD
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxe7kfYyuO
「難道要在這裡等牠自己上岸嗎？」二郎左手將刀鞘握得更緊些。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iO5dp9ndN
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsesV4Qr2QR
「我大概有點頭緒，你能幫我個忙嗎？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdzPYSdnRl
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQnZyqgJ7Y
說是幫忙，倒不如說是什麼都不要幫。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXBTLdDVUr
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ5sXzZnYB
這就是哈吉爾的要求——提輕腳步到池子邊待命，什麼事都不要做，等他下一步指示。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN4PQz14tw
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoobc8C0ec
二郎有些不情願的在池邊等候著，他看得出來水裡有個巨大影子，但溫泉水並非清澈透明、加上空氣中的霧氣濃厚，他仍舊看不清怪物的樣貌。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdtWblRipy
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzCYN3dVbX
從影子的輪廓來看，至少這次的怪物比迷加歐烏的體積小多了，剛才一聽到怪物在水裡而繃緊的神經這才鬆懈下來。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmZxL5idMv
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv352F1HLq
至於哈吉爾，他持續盯著池子不敢大意，身子慢慢退到淋浴區，向後伸手隨意打開了蓮蓬頭，水聲嘩啦嘩啦冒出，令遠處的二郎一頭霧水。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrmHEG2SFO
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOF6106tG7
「嗚嗚……嗚嗚嗚嗚……」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT61F7KaA1
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN3LEq5b55
果然！哈吉爾眯眼，他的猜測似乎沒錯。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoq7yhBzMd
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXocDayP8tb
看二郎聽見哭聲差點要問些什麼，哈吉爾立刻在嘴前比出食指要他安靜。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaJlzdvZaI
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHmbmDxwoD
「嗚嗚……」哭聲持續著，迴盪在整個池畔，越來越大聲、越來越清晰。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHRbh1X98u
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoqzme1eAY
過不了多久，兩個人都看見水中浮出許多泡泡，一個小女孩跟著浮出水面，她的背朝上，整個臉浸在水裡載浮載沉，根本與屍體無異。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJMYTO1aKD
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl8N36rPN5
臉都泡在水裡了，哭聲打哪來的啊。二郎克制住出聲吐槽的慾望，遵從指示安靜在一旁看著。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcLp1LdW3f
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6w1c7vMG9
「二郎！這傢伙是初階的魚型怪物，只敢在人落單的時候行動，牠現在以為只有我一個人在這裡！」哈吉爾喊道：「那個小女孩是牠身體的一部分，是誘餌，碰到的話應該會被電到！」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLwDdMNTuS
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu6zbDoN2d
那我要怎麼做？二郎聳肩並將兩掌朝上邊搖頭，他的刀肯定會導電的。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoFLnMkkjc
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoyoFUSLGl
哈吉爾迅速環視四周，雖然白霧茫茫視野狹窄，他還是隱約能看到大致上的室內結構。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ9PYtyYtR
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XwPY7KEqB
「有了。」他指向角落一個圓形池區，那裡有一尊比人還要大的魚型石像坐鎮，滾燙泉水正從魚嘴巴不斷流出，「你砍得斷它嗎？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHwbQB7qkB
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TFXRktL83
二郎頭搖得可快了。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIefVK5Rwk
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MnpeqZSM5
要他砍竹或砍再硬的怪物都行，畢竟他總能從較脆弱的關節處下手，但要他砍一尊巨大石像？他的手可能會先斷掉。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjptFxvwDNb
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf4Rq1bq8R
「不要緊，我會輔助你！總之只要把石像扔到水裡，怪物受到驚嚇應該就會衝出水面了！」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPS0yU0wdE
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMAp7ZLGCm
在哈吉爾解釋的同時，哭泣聲依然持續著，「嗚嗚嗚……」或許是怪物感到困惑，牠假扮成小女孩的誘餌從水裡滑動，慢慢飄向哈吉爾的方位。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoFtEuhm8M
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFWqPXd4EP
還能有什麼辦法？二郎根本不認得這怪物，如果哈吉爾不在的話他應該會直接跳進水裡把怪物給斬了。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGw3YWfKP8
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwCrfWgDhM
他就只是晚個幾秒從更衣室裡衝出來，就看到受傷的伙伴，連怪物本體的模樣都沒見到，那他也只能夠聽哈吉爾的了。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46t8pj9L31
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexNEDBoSFx
二郎只好認命點點頭架好準備姿勢，哈吉爾也同時聚精會神地把魔力集中在二郎的刀鋒。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8tPdpT2PZ
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVo3tZyrO6
淺藍與深藍的光暈交錯環繞在刀身，斬擊的瞬間，石像彷彿被藍色雷射光從中剖半。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDUmJKP8JS
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0vuGNoQG9
有哈吉爾魔法加持的攻擊有股說不上來的輕盈感，二郎不知道如何形容這種感覺，這跟他自己施魔法時截然不同。但時間不容許他慢慢感受這一切，石像順著斜切面滑落，二郎伸腳一踹將笨重的石塊踢入池中。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHANO7v5FN9
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVfbFxrJgr
撲通——！水池濺起三尺高的巨大水花。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiHvRpqFvN
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHxHaYuKDB
就像翹翹板一樣，這邊石子一落進，另一頭就有個什麼跟著水花嘣了出來。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdIqIqUp0M
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2uaACANU0
那是一條長著兩腳的魚，大概像隻大型犬那麼大，頭頂上釣竿繫著的小女孩誘餌此時縮了水，成了個手掌大皺巴巴的巫毒娃娃。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ngGfBenyE
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE9DI25cGx
「二郎，趁現在！」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYK2oURMA1
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e3RXkMAKw
隨著橫向銀光劃過的是一道斬開空氣的短音，濃稠的血噴濺四周地面，甚至一些紅色在水裡擴散。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNioBk52gf
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pWKmSle5D
魚怪受了傷，牠發出淒厲尖叫的血盆大口長著兩根尖銳獠牙，兩腳像青蛙般長著蹼，土綠色的鱗片並不討喜，跟牠的醜陋長相一樣。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DZshO4tr5
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNauylCVp4r
那聲音過於尖銳，兩人一時半刻甚至無法動彈。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJDKno5G8o
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ikKKIKnRk
隨著魚怪物的尖叫聲擴張，牠頭頂釣著的誘餌小女孩再度膨脹成一般孩童的大小之後，如蜥蜴斷尾一樣連接的觸手從中切斷，留下一個逼真的假人墊後。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlnfv6E8nX
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dQTTi6U8y
通往更衣室的門沒有關上，眼看魚怪物就要逃走了，哈吉爾單手朝前一揮，毛玻璃門立刻拉上。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMVYxOgp4P
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSBbb3RXk5
哐啷！！！268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm0FUqBi0D
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1NID7OXHc
一點用也沒有，怪物衝破門讓玻璃碎了滿地，留下一滴又一滴的血痕在地上。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMCCJ8ZMa5
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu3V8qSdzI
「呀———————！」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqKsVeZCcJ
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXkDhgs6zI
女性尖叫聲從破裂的門內傳來，二郎與哈吉爾這時從方才的聲波攻擊中解放，追了上去。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AsyhXEPO3
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43VtAcOX5I
沿著血跡，穿越女更衣室來到大廳，那一坨又一坨的稠狀液體連接到了大門，而大門一樣被撞破了大洞，不規則的洞口邊緣一樣沾滿血跡。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFI5XCzwJZ
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXWnZTnX9P
牠逃走了。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtaPjFjPAk
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzJGXQA3Qq
「你們明明有兩個人，為什麼還讓牠逃了？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj2uhhCJF8
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvJBbx8rYe
責備的話語從不遠處傳來，二郎不禁瞪大了眼，「妳說什麼？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pfdxYDvK7
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp6RzAhEBl
當他轉過身發現湯花就站在牆邊，身上沒有一絲戰鬥過的痕跡，內心是一把火燒了起來。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh7wBepPvj
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRTy6YwaYu
身處大廳的湯花只發出稍早前的一聲驚聲尖叫，就任由怪物逃走了。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm74TBWwvXu
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoChTwpc16x
「對對對！我們是讓牠逃走了沒錯，那妳看到怪物衝過去怎麼不試著去攔一下！」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZhuXdASm1
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlKk9eEZUA
二郎怒吼著準備繼續嗆聲，哈吉爾從身旁衝到牆角的舉動卻打斷了他，「和梨！」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnGlxRqqDr
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsULloxHhL
「外傷我等等幫妳處理，有沒有哪個部位特別痛的？妳能說話嗎？」哈吉爾眼珠子迅速掃視傷者從頭到腳每一個部位，聽來穩重的嗓音帶點不明顯的顫抖。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQIcJ0NYhD
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrua4Fk0mtt
當這畫面入了眼，二郎也沒什麼心情跟湯花吵下去了，更何況……268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV6wun3VQw
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrlaF6XQby
和梨被帶到牆角看似大廳內最安全的位置坐著休息，衣服也已經穿上了——湯花剛才忙著照顧她。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKTh6hQ8Z1
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRpmWnAAtk
就算本人個性再怎麼討人厭，這都是事實。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGSIGU6SRX
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9StTdKJ8Du
和梨沒有開口回答哈吉爾，只是一臉鬱悶地搖搖頭，不過大家還是鬆了口氣。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNdTtrwOo5
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgsLBu6gjO
「那怪物怎麼辦？要追嗎？」二郎問，「把和梨傷成這樣的怪物出去在大街上跑不太妙吧？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStcbwt2DaA
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUClfzllhce
「這一帶很多冒險者會專程來泡湯放鬆，讓他們處理就好。」湯花直盯著被破壞殆盡的兩扇門與沿路血漬，不免大嘆氣，「我還需要你們留下來幫我善後。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYsCagB1hj
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bgW6UC3Po
「憑什麼啊！我們根本連溫泉都還沒泡到！」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0J09N9sjY
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdy4aDcJ1N
「我會退錢給你們，這樣可以了吧？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mofj5BSw2
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VXaVYBcI7
這顯然已經不是錢不錢的問題了，湯花的態度就是會讓人不自覺咬牙，二郎根本就不想再待在這裡。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnxy5mb0Uv
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11y8XADxzh
「哈吉爾你留下來照顧和梨，我去追怪物。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD986ErFvTM
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNSSO3vd5b
「二郎，抱歉，這次我也贊同不用追。」微皺的眉頭配上淺笑，哈吉爾的表情有些無奈，「那個怪物等級非常低，離開水面基本上活不了太久的。」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHRaoqWzMu
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUhZlCK0SS
「等級很低？」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGqaB9TxKQ
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs4gIxM1yx
這下換二郎皺眉了，疑惑目光頓時投射到滿是傷痕的和梨身上，只見她注意到視線後身體抖了一下。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx03v7OU7YE
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D5BJXzi2h
臉上原本的憂鬱再加三分，最後她直接把臉埋進白色浴巾裡頭。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7dua66LzP
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpeaOm3otX
「對啦！我就是弱到爆啦！這身傷全是我自己在逃跑的時候滑倒摔的啦！嗚……」268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Cz95i0LGb
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v07BbGl3M
手臂、手肘、膝蓋、腳踝與腳趾，那些擦傷與瘀青確實是人跌倒時會受傷的部位，而且池區地滑，外加地面磚塊是有突起小顆粒的材質。268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUkyd6Qo8W
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByfdB70Hfm
其他三人頓時說不出任何話，場面一度尷尬。
