大葆士殺人風波持續延燒。豪司視線離開手機，看向走進門口的人。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzfZoHcYkv

「『揚斯通院長』還是不肯直接跟我面對面詳談？」豪司看著那人在對面坐下：「心胸也太狹隘。」他抱怨。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizsYLYQiPG

「你當初為了『洛蘭平原』淨化戰的經費跟他大吵，讓他在其他外賓和政戰部長面前下不了台。依我看他到入土前都不想見你。」梳著油亮旁分頭，戴著金框眼鏡的中年灰髮男性道。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifMsdLcnBc

「朗少將……不對，現在該稱呼您為朗秘書長了。」豪司坐直身軀， 20 人座的會議室只有他們兩人。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwqzabqOgg
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOX0rRdBGF
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d2ijcPcA2
「開會已經超過半小時，這樣的出席人數是不是該解讀為『否決』？」豪司悶聲。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5DlxXKYS4
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wHUvFyIi8
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxmsGtugkT
「……」朗秘書長不說話。他摘下眼鏡，用手輕抬眼皮。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXHIh32W4m
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf8aqz7cw5
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEldN49zlYx
「他可是大葆士 ‧ 溫頓！人類史上最大陸戰魔方『大無畏』的操控者！」豪司輕敲桌面：「我們不把握這個機會把他要過來，美利安也勢必會搶走他！」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe19T1dFMu7
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcoO2Jf0QQ
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ROmpxPLAG
「我們情況跟美利安不一樣，他們有 31 座定點蟲洞，超重級侵襲次數也不少。相形之下我們只有 10 座，來犯異獸大多是輕、重級，超重級是五、六年才會碰上一次。」郎秘書長輕捏鼻樑頂端：「 12 級大無畏對我國而言，並非迫切所需的戰力。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qMZKbTfw9
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvsPFPdyVw
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXvxa9po5S
「五、六年？只要出現超重級，我們勢必會損失不少兵馬和土地！防守線後退的結果您很清楚，需要我再做一份研究報告嗎？」豪司抬眼，朗秘書長看著他。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXAkpqY8fm
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LX7bpupKY
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUjSyP12gX
「注意你的態度。」朗秘書長唇角微微上揚：「你那些報告都很傑出，身為你曾經的指導教授，我以你的表現為榮。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAMWwe8uCH

「你已經不是學生，不再是『做事的人』。你現在是『負責事情的人』，不可以任由自己的好惡做判斷，必須站在大局上，眼觀八方。」

「我明白您說的。但是您不能否認擁有機擬員，對提升我國國力有極大價值。」豪司皺眉：「而且對收復洛蘭平原有絕對幫助！」
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl5PQ0Q92U
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78uuQRWyAL
「重點是他用魔方殺人了，豪司。」郎秘書長戴上眼鏡：「大葆士現在是燙手山芋。就算有一小群人能看到未來他付出的貢獻，那也不代表所有人都看得到！」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzV0tLzvul
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObH1DumCeK
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyuYRidfQl
「所以我們必須告訴他們，讓大家知道大葆士的價值！」豪司靠回椅背：「我一個人辦不到，所以才需要您的幫忙。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8wtozzi7y
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TkM3AS7Ju
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUMyzhLE4i
「幫？我怎麼幫？」朗秘書長露出啼笑皆非的臉：「我現在只是一名收發文件、蓋蓋職名章的新到職辦公人員。根本沒有影響力。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPADiwMfI4
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa94UtGI7s
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrXdKGEWce
「其他兩名秘書長已經表態不願接收大葆士，院長初步想法跟他們一樣。」朗秘書長將雙肘放到桌上：「就連總統也是。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqjTgk948V
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUslcvsECx
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj4Hri3fzh
「情況就是這麼嚴峻。」朗秘書長看著豪司蒙上一層灰的臉：「真抱歉，我無能為力。」
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zOFdA3XZs
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99qY6KiwEy
「……就這樣嗎？」豪司瞪著朗秘書長：「 10 座定點蟲洞對我們來說還不夠多嗎？沒想到參與過『比丘蟲洞大戰』的您會說出那種理由。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6O84N2MXm

「為什麼戰神殿將我們設為第一順位？這不是無償贈與，美利安同樣有競標資格，而且出價肯定會比我們更高。」朗秘書長瞇眼。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNoYxFAMTi
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhDFIoaVnR
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBsblMNLoA
「你從布列斯托帶回的消息，老實說來源讓我質疑。你說蘭基中將自稱代表戰神殿，只要我們點頭答應這樁交易，就優先把大葆士給我們。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYHPxvGd4n
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUCwKGdN7h
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RNSUWan6Q
「然而，昨日致電我一位戰神殿高層熟人，他說根本沒這回事。」朗秘書長緩緩靠向椅背：「眾所皆知蘭基中將是溫頓少將的拜把兄弟，他被逼到懸崖上，我們很難預料他會幹出什麼事。」
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycGrxdcpJK

「這是國家大事，我不會讓你們因為一頭熱而搞出的私人交易賠上東苑安名號。」朗秘書長喝起罐裝水。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHS0QRNnUx
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrOF81te2q
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW4SAiLOOe
「……朗秘書長，就某種程度來說，這的確是私人交易。」豪司凝視臉沉下去的朗秘書長：「只有一小群人知道，只有一小群人懂他對國家的重要性。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwq7uSWC9F
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgAVXEXf9X
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiCHI8ScRR
「而這一小群人，務必是能撼動國家的。所以我才會來這裡請求您──」豪司話還沒說完，便被朗秘書長的冷笑給打斷。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYYU6pXc2j

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOdE6Zu6pk
「豪司啊，你小子人愈大，愈是傻啊。」朗秘書長單手托臉：「雖然世界今非昔比，但舊世的原則我們仍需恪守。『藍光戒嚴』後，限制魔方軍高階將領人數是有原因的，就怕狂人再度出現。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDY8YasRVF
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuFjPCwIB6
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbViDcawv8P
「很顯然地，大葆士已經踩到底線。倘若我們收留他，那也意味我們在挑戰底線。我絕對不會讓國家陷入風險，即便大葆士和他的大無畏對守護鋼鐵牆有極大幫助。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXAeefgNoq
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCax0aIG847
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuwZ1CusDB
「國家名譽和保護鋼鐵牆，在您眼中的重量就是這樣？」豪司注意到朗秘書長露出不耐貌，立時明白後者不願再多談。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS9WbURJLL
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv918BwR06M
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikWXamrBOT
「收留大葆士本就有各種考量，這只是其中一種。」朗秘書長輕輕將旋轉椅往後推。如豪司所預料的，準備離開。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSnZEZakJI
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm6Y0Yup6s
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QugCGdk9Y
「還是說，」朗秘書長突然停下動作：「你有非得到大葆士不可的理由？」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pAbJcdUkM

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EareDp8ss
「……我的確有理由，朗秘書長。」豪司凝視會議桌面，道。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCLfrZhIP9
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6niANnJwiv
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6an1Slx44h
「這動機強烈到我必須得到大葆士，以免他被判死或被美利安買下。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLRSuAZcY7

當豪司結束完魔方防禦技術交流會，抱著一堆資料行經一片樹蔭下時，坐在樹下的少年突然跟他搭話。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5mdRoxgga
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8nratYvVB
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eRTrJDgjk
豪司側過頭，他對少年有印象。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bixToT7tj
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ERT1ET4GT
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jTs1zyToU
兩小時前發表防護網成果時，這名有著一頭麥芽色短髮的少年就站在角落，面色凝重地聽他演說。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQRcwoMSvl
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS9Rm404nK
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcytatPjeuQ
雖然他對這名年齡目測約十來歲的少年存在感到突兀，但有可能是學生前來旁聽魔方防護機置。
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ8MnZHjQg
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mQuPH7X2x
「先前美利安軍隊用魔方造出的砲彈轟炸過定點蟲洞，但是一點效果都沒有。」豪司搖頭：「所以我想答案是否定的。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCh6m7uBCa
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpE3hUtxVR
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucowCAgSTC
少年露出笑眼，從草地上站起。豪司隱約看到他的頸上繫著鴿狀軍牌。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe5fNY3lVX
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrkr2qWbKg
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz71mdTLQjO

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RblAOQAjm
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCMr8Eyi6Z
「定點蟲洞外圍包覆『蟲暈』，其強大張力和無處不在的能量點導致無法對蟲洞主體進行侵入破壞。」少年眨眼：「第 96 期《美布科學期刊》第 102 頁有提到這項發現。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZERBXbnN4Q
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gSO18DjoY
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oqn56rjg5
「沒錯，那是在轟炸後得出的結論。」豪司開始挪動腳步，他預計搭乘一小時後出發的班機回到東苑安。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sQagMvI6C
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa33VIYTfK
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4iInvvWOd
「我們常將蟲洞、異獸和魔方合為一談，因為三者關係密切。」少年繼續道：「會進行轟炸測試是因為把蟲洞當成異獸，所以用魔方武器產生的降熵評估蟲洞受損程度。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9Q94eXBOz
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fxzB2ziAF
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac5BVVXKkJ
「你很瞭解這些。」豪司笑看跟著他走的少年：「是魔方軍武迷嗎？」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqEe0M1PbS
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6jJcCfYNN
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2PlA4H912
「 Hehe，算是吧。」少年努力追上豪司腳步：「我剛才聽了你的演說，認為你在防護網上有傑出的表現。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2zAjqTiN6

「豪司 ‧ 立克夏上校，請你先停下腳步聽我說。」少年跟的滿頭大汗，豪司瞇眼停下。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhatekg4OmT

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrArsBD0qLV
「我不曉得你是來做課堂研究還是單純想聊天。總之我很忙，請你另尋他人採訪。」豪司丟下這句後，頭也不回的繼續前進。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cfbf7mmEC
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShSmCLjnvT
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYa8egwJSC
「我時間也不多，等會就要帶隊到『象牙基地塔』。」少年因為流汗發熱，使他脫下外套，進而露出雙腕上的兩套魔方腕帶。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0GcM9Z09P
