鐵製的狹窄空間被緩衝材和電路零件環繞,兩名身穿厚重太空裝的人聽著自己呼吸,避免意識跟窗外的無盡黑暗融成一體。222Please respect copyright.PENANA0EeM3MruZA
222Please respect copyright.PENANArFVDLmgQSu
噴射裝置的細微震動傳遍艙體。太空人依照標準流程戳了幾下操縱面板,再摸向頭盔的通訊開關。222Please respect copyright.PENANAh5HoQWOmJb

「倒數120秒……阿烈,撐得住吧?第一次的宇宙旅行。」222Please respect copyright.PENANAuvQBiboqUb
222Please respect copyright.PENANAegjjA3kWoa
遮光面罩隱藏臉孔,但那沉穩語氣確實就是空身在說話。陽烈抬起雙手,比出拇指,把暈眩感吞下肚子才開口。222Please respect copyright.PENANAcg6GDfU4rf
222Please respect copyright.PENANAiBcatMCkGI
「從來都沒想過……有生之年會上宇宙……還能到月球。」222Please respect copyright.PENANAb7xQQUi2bf

一片純白抹過深空,他們終於能夠分辨方位。下方,就是這艘小型宇宙船的終點、ERA的任務目標⸺寧靜海月面都市。222Please respect copyright.PENANA3TkbBxV9XP
222Please respect copyright.PENANANBIIBDtul9
「哈……我也沒想過,至少這次甦醒之後沒有……要觀光只能趁現在囉!你等等要在船上支援我。」222Please respect copyright.PENANARkhaFpW0DL
222Please respect copyright.PENANAM5EGJrlvhB
空身讓輔助電腦載入自動降落程序。陽烈閉上眼,回想任務摘要:今天,各大國幕後金主、權貴富豪都會聚集在此,商討地球局勢,順便進行那些奢華的社交活動。兩人必須潛入核心,一舉取得所有政要名單,揪出體制之惡的建構者。222Please respect copyright.PENANAtLZNvhXzqp
222Please respect copyright.PENANAnyguWDf0dv
灰白平原佔據視野,起落架撞擊地面。空身解開安全帶,輕盈跳向後艙。222Please respect copyright.PENANAdtr7l02Zs2

「這些傢伙……不惜重本把空氣跟水般上來,躲在宇宙以操弄戰爭金融為樂……要不是為了知己知彼,我還真不想跟他們變成一夥,一秒都不行。」222Please respect copyright.PENANAwhdv6GvYsZ
222Please respect copyright.PENANAKzZKWBI9Ef
「放心,您凝視深淵這麼久,深淵都會害怕。」陽烈確認船身滑進建築內部、機庫氣密閘門關閉,才脫下太空裝、搬出行李貨櫃,「您的衣服……在這。」222Please respect copyright.PENANAPqcYlCxdxD
222Please respect copyright.PENANAAsJeJ0db3X
「結婚之後就沒穿過這麼正式了。」空身讓頭盔下的臉孔見光。年齡、膚色、五官位置,都跟過去的他完全不同⸺基因等級的不同。這次的複製體為了特殊任務而調整,能通過生化檢測,徹頭徹尾偽裝成另一個人類。222Please respect copyright.PENANAeUDsNXQ9Fm
222Please respect copyright.PENANAuufuXWtgvg
陽烈拿起一副眼鏡對著判若兩人的領袖,手邊的薄型電腦隨即顯示出攝影機畫面。空身看著自己的影像打理行頭,戴上智慧眼鏡、拉轉把手,跳出了船艙。222Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7DUaGkZwT

古典音樂飄過宮廷式華美長廊,磁吸鞋跟固定在運輸走道上,強化玻璃壁面與月面景色一起緩緩橫移。空身保持微笑、飄向大門,讓安檢人員掃描假造ID,瀟灑地混進富麗堂皇的人群。222Please respect copyright.PENANA3FIfb6uGzS
222Please respect copyright.PENANAE9tNT3BZX3
挑高天井、鑲金梁柱、水晶吊燈目不暇給。外頭是漆黑天空與亮白岩石的明顯對比,裡面卻是遊走於灰色地帶的邪惡笑聲。陽烈從遠端影像看見許多男孩、女孩,天真無邪地在美食佳餚旁跳來跳去、被父母抱進懷中。222Please respect copyright.PENANABwzS5hYPLb
222Please respect copyright.PENANA1arXoFcXEi
似乎有那麼一瞬間,他好奇,如果生在不同時代,自己是否也能擁有這些際遇。222Please respect copyright.PENANAvQ2Ur76yjw

「那為何不要九個人?偶數常常表決不過啊。」222Please respect copyright.PENANAA4uSZXdbvo
222Please respect copyright.PENANA7P0KnqKaCa
空身想了想,把鐵蓋輕聲放下。玻璃窗外,一艘清潔公司標誌的太空梭緩緩飄過,拉住抗軍領袖的視線不到幾秒就消失了。222Please respect copyright.PENANAbpx11uLNxW
222Please respect copyright.PENANAuWQqUtlwAq
『表決沒過,才能繼續討論,直到某個成員願意改變想法……畢竟,要少數服從多數,然後又要群體來服從中心,不是隨隨便便就能決定的……哎!來點輕鬆話題吧?我接下來可是要跟蟑螂一起爬管子。』222Please respect copyright.PENANAvuqRbOIAtq
222Please respect copyright.PENANA5a482I0gCi
大男人奮力鑽進小洞,攝影機啟動夜視模式。陽烈拿起線路圖,引導空身來到剛才經過的走廊上方,往另一端裝滿賓客資料的機房前進。222Please respect copyright.PENANAQheXzSAvD4

222Please respect copyright.PENANAERNWUj1PeU
安檢人員兩隻腳被磁鞋吸在地面,上身像洩了氣的皮囊一樣癱倒。兩名清潔工戴著卡通角色面具,手中握著類似槍枝的物體,心懷不軌地飄向宴會廳門口。222Please respect copyright.PENANAGNdl1sMp5H

不知哪來的勢力也選今天行動。如果觸動警報,不僅任務失敗,連ERA繼承人都可能被逮捕。空身咬緊牙根,不假思索就蜷縮身體、踢破孔蓋,直接撲到持槍歹徒頭上。222Please respect copyright.PENANAGmuFbK6qsf
222Please respect copyright.PENANAd4NLjNnsoz
『老大!敵人是誰?』222Please respect copyright.PENANAKsiFrpDJRK

222Please respect copyright.PENANA7MbOGxIr9c
另一名清潔工舉著槍不知所措,害怕打到同夥。激烈纏鬥讓面具飛到半空,空身難掩錯愕,因為他們用來遮掩身分的廉價玩物,就是模仿當紅恐怖分子⸺空身自己的臉孔而造。222Please respect copyright.PENANAA3MGOnmHDJ
222Please respect copyright.PENANA7STWWfrTaz
「ERA萬歲!」歹徒用後腦杓猛撞擋路者,殊不知那人就是他們景仰的救世主,「去吧!不要管我,相信你自己的力量,執行制裁!殺光那群畜生!」222Please respect copyright.PENANAJm7r5zk9kl
222Please respect copyright.PENANAPkTqlQFvKv
無政府起義、最小化組織的弊端,就是沒有統整的攻勢,這缺陷在關鍵時刻成了空身的絆腳石。他想起身追上去卻被拉倒在地、勒住喉嚨,只能眼睜睜看著另一名歹徒衝進大廳。222Please respect copyright.PENANAw1G6kELqH2

222Please respect copyright.PENANAv5XQnL5ZYX
「老大,保安出動了,快回來!」船艙內的陽烈把手伸向緊急升空按鈕,卻遲遲壓不下去。他知道保命要緊,但還是無法下定決心見死不救。222Please respect copyright.PENANAM83esyYJ5p
222Please respect copyright.PENANAuWnlQmt112

「革命成功!我是新時代的先鋒!」面具歹徒高聲大吼,轉過身來朝著自己太陽穴扣下扳機。空身造型的英雄面具被轟出大洞,但他的精神會永遠流傳,連同他所種下的因與果。222Please respect copyright.PENANAMV8Sl3fe2s
222Please respect copyright.PENANAZxvYM9askL
目睹這一切的始作俑者低下頭,看向沾滿罪孽的雙手。這一生,甚至連原本面容都不能擁有,卻要承受這麼多煎熬,何必呢?222Please respect copyright.PENANAKTcDiPf6CZ
222Please respect copyright.PENANAtA6841MJZc
有那麼一瞬間,他放棄了崇高使命、放棄身為革命領袖的意志。最讓他感到痛心的,是拋下所有東西的自己竟然鬆了口氣。222Please respect copyright.PENANA1svhRFQxp4
222Please respect copyright.PENANAtL0Meo70Tb
陽烈不斷用無線電叫喚。眼看氣密閘門就快鎖死,空身卻跪在原地,顫抖地拿起歹徒的槍,確認膛室內還有一發子彈。222Please respect copyright.PENANAEYQb8VPy6B

「老大、老大……我知道你很怕!你每次都這麼怕、這麼難受……一出生就被強迫接棒,沒辦法有自己的人生,還要把深愛的女人讓給下一個你,那個只有基因跟你一樣的陌生人……根本不合理啊?拜託!不要放棄希望,不要再離開……離開我們了……」222Please respect copyright.PENANAkuXi1TkuhY

他的喉嚨只能發出野獸般的咕囔、眼睛瞪得不能再大、眉頭不知該怒還是該哭。每次都是這樣,一個人犧牲、一個人醒來,複製技術明明有更好的用法,不該再讓空身受這麼多苦才對。222Please respect copyright.PENANAoZVYLaLDgl
