這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP99TpuH2e
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBslQiZryq
為了應付嚴苛戰事而組織的精銳部隊，在戰鬥中卻將近三成沒能安然回歸。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoGo098eDT
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQauvhtNy1t
戰勝的消息傳回能源局之後，負責探勘的隊伍開始確認生還的居民，以及貧民窟內部的建築狀況。由於交通工具總是受地形阻礙，推演的速度相當緩慢。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoZcIpmfDC
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2iHxqaMPs
清理出安全的道路後，在軍隊的護送下，拆除大隊與某些人道團體成功進入貧民窟，展開了八年來第一次除了邊境鎮壓以外的互動。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKA3wvGMCm
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauHkCi6pzG
從最外圍開始，拆除團隊逐漸改造扭曲的街道、不穩固的樓房。為了保持警戒，可以看見軍人與工程師同時出現在工地內的景象。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxcxBCj2KU
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ878uOe3vj5
雖然這場戰爭在其他地區掀起軒然大波，由於不過是數年前，人們就曾經目睹科學發展帶來的慘劇，疑惑的群眾幾乎一面倒向責備能源局。即便如此，長期掌控著社會生態的能源局，在熟練迅速的壓制下，輿論並沒有造成什麼障礙。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbKUEdpJIg

尤其是時值冬末，讓人無法提起活力的天氣煩惱著這座都市的所有人。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdILWsAfmwV
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd1yRPDiYO
季風雨持續降下，遲遲等不到晴朗的天空。依照觀測，恐怕會是二十年以來最漫長、也將會是最寒冷的冬雨季。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirwpiUjwLH
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq8rQ2i5l5
分明是新年，令人不快的陰鬱氣息卻籠罩在這座高科技都市上。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWkG3ACIyr
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhlX2FrjSn
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1hwrPa6hs

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNebOPS0Ic0
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL0ydIPkps
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPIUGi6OI0
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uoo0dwpAF
摩托車的頭燈照亮四周的殘骸，勉強地開拓了視線。依奴駕駛著傷痕累累的愛車，僅僅以不至於讓車身翻倒的緩慢速度前進。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s4ESQHfdL
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAaBNKxE6H
持續跑在街道中又過了數分鐘，眼前所見的場景幾乎沒有變化，赫恩沒辦法從這些廢墟中分辨出什麼差別，也不曉得他究竟要往哪裡走。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiUQd3bPWH
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMXGc6yLbW
依奴從剛剛開始就不發一語，他弓著背並且把頭壓得很低，抓住龍頭的雙手明顯地過度使力，正微微發抖著。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDkTsxurU8
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKR7cijf2L
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LZyU6uBpu
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkykl1sA5x
這場戰爭，從開始到現在的平息，究竟經過了多少時間？赫恩覺得自己的時間感已經被打亂了，所有經歷過的事件在腦中都攪和成一團。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWWfmJTYPJ
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡque3K2xUDH
燃燒、傾倒、萎縮。各式各樣的畫面破碎成片段，全部溶解在摩托車彷彿無止境的低沉引擎聲中。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJVZ7S4i4U
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTgYQ9amXi
還要多久才能抵達目的地呢？或者會永遠這麼運轉下去呢？原來，逃亡是件這麼沉重苦悶的事情。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDd07eGF6t
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGFhniBGiF
正當赫恩已經陷入迷濛的睏意中時，景色的轉變重新牽動了她的注意力。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULH5SGI1c4
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbxQ17o3cA
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPXD5L80Ln
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazcSprbnHl
橫跨了整個混亂的建築區域後，四周的景色居然開朗了起來。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPieTSRra2Y
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy6AKsf7yC
彷彿在宣告著目的地已經到達，東方的天空此時漾起了光芒。厚重的雲層遮蔽了黎明，但純潔無瑕的晨光渲染開來，視野逐漸變得清晰。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pyAfC0l3H
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q2W2WRznK
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDVFh1X3CF
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA3sSxm0EK
摩托車所經的地方，似乎曾經是某個重要的區塊。舊時代都市的街區、歪斜的交通號誌，甚至是柏油路面上的號誌線，這些規劃完整的建設依然留有痕跡。十字路口上停擺著廢棄的車輛、輸電用的纜線也在樓房間穿梭。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuL1S13pbt
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgcG0Qy6nv
成排的商店與公司坐落在主要幹道左右，依稀能想像這個市區以前的繁榮光景。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaK3op1zDL
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzWBkZ2NSM
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRChepxabJ
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3H1MhHiUY
這是赫恩首次見到舊世代的都市，包括現代已經不存在的電線桿、霓虹燈招牌、電話亭、郵筒等等，這裡有許多她無法理解的設施。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChdX3vCt9m
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNuUgTt2Nb
摩托車來到某個建築物前方，跑了一整夜的雙輪終於不再運轉。只不過，依奴並沒有準備任何停車下車的動作，他仍然僵硬地緊握著油門──409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWaT3fMNwI
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIb4g75adL
滑行了一小段距離後，失去控制的車體就這麼往側邊傾倒下去。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYnBawvdrn
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPue1DVtlrq
「唔嗚！」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2HUqSCP0a
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9Ru7yWDqg
抱著他的赫恩嚇了一大跳，她放開手臂跳開，狼狽地往旁邊跌坐，差一點被摩托車的笨重車體砸中。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCEObDynzu
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwhyv2pPFd
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBwAC7s3b7
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ5AwiN5pU
「依奴！」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66e1oe1T4n
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadMdWhxZ71
赫恩慌張地向前去，把車鑰匙拔出來讓引擎熄火後，費了一番功夫才將笨重的車身移開，並且將依奴從下面拖了出來。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHuqD2cCJX
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwalyeBnmkz
即使如此，依奴仍然一動也不動。他趴伏在地上，甚至連半點呼吸或喘息聲都聽不見。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ldhqs11ir
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABz9EYni9t
赫恩讓他靠坐在車體旁，輕輕摘下那頂貝雷帽，將他低垂的臉托起。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YkGrFyfe6
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvArP9Lka4
「依奴──」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQMjS245o9
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHUBPy2vhO
脫口喊出對方的名字後，赫恩迅速地止住了話音，再也無法說下去。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbjK91fhUP
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWopi2vVTS
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9CQLLNEFT
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGrA6grdqq
在黎明的微光下，她能夠清晰地從領口看見——黑色的血管紋路，從依奴的胸口向上方蔓延，雖然血管的走勢在頸部附近就停止了，但依然有幾條怵目驚心的紋路爬上了他的臉頰。擴張的青色血管扭曲了表面的皮膚，像植物的根部般盤踞著，除了病態與扭曲以外，無法讓人有更多的聯想。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo5ub0kI03
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44ROrzwmdP
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RXa9ps7CS
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb3mipRhCL
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU2mjfKBj2
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI1Vs0ZAxp
原本那精緻且秀氣、甚至堪稱為美麗的面孔，竟然被侵蝕成這副模樣。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufCoTZbeZT
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTidrOPxdPv
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxJwON7erH
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmOmvaczbZ
黑色血管是從左胸口開始蔓延的，越接近心臟，出現的血管就越粗大，宛如被寄生般相當恐怖。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo03KVSKqW
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIiUVoayPV
她試探性地抓起依奴的手掌放在臉頰上，傳來的是令人不安的冰涼。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LyNLY4lae
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vACZ2R2XV
他還有微弱的呼吸，保住了虛弱的命，但不知道什麼時候才會從昏迷中醒過來。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePuELrQNuB
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo8O1h9Azw
雨還在下，不過勢頭已經減緩許多，紛亂的聲響也降低不少。徒留下濕潤與空虛的寒冷，仍舊在吐息間流竄著。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6z3AOlsI6
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxgpmR0QXb
她重新站起，確認四周圍的請況。這塊保留完整的舊街區其實相當小，在逐漸明朗的光線下，都市的輪廓已經緩緩成形。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWftKVmvNk7
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxpAmuXYh8
八年前，建設在這裡的閻融爐暴走時，擴散的能量震盪所摧毀的建築物數量，大概佔整座桔梗區的三分之一，剩下的部分即使還勉強留存著模樣，但供電系統等等軟體設施已經全部報銷，對都市來說等於是機能癱瘓。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZdKEPakpX
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbnBlBaUy3
重建工程展開時，為了降低新建材的需求，曾經大規模地拆除還留有主體的地區，把廢建築內完好的鋼材、玻璃等等資源回收，送往開闊地帶建造新的居住區。再加上難民們當時並不知道這些重建建築將會成為他們永久性的巢穴，所以對於重建工程並沒有細心規劃，導致發展區內零零落落地到處都看得到難民營，交通路線也是九彎十八拐。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oDtL7t3qa
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWsVKTEemz
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7INDu0i0vx
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7YC7Dtosg
沒有被能量震波轟垮、沒有被回收作業拆除、亦沒有被胡亂的重建計畫改造，還保留著八年前那夜之後的殘敗模樣。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0FChI5j4e
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXhcdMtI1O
唯一的可能性，就是到來的軍隊曾經刻意避免了難民與這塊區域的接觸，將其作為重點區域封鎖住了。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSGMdwIuj5
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMGFUoyUMi
這片涵蓋四個十字路口，長寬不過數百公尺的範圍，從外表上看去毫無特出之處，至少憑著赫恩的經驗，這些沒看過的建築在當時應該也不是研究機構或者政治中心之類的，研究機構不長這個樣子。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI8mZK15EB
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0cn5HMHJd
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXRphGpPmf
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfooQDdo9FR
雖然那棟建築物是這附近最接近科學機構的，但明顯設在門口的橫幅矮牆上，刻著某某醫院的名字。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5dsI33gXY
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3E0C4LgHc
急診室的入口、救護車的出入車道、以及一般病患出入的大門都具備，雖然被拉上的鐵捲門嚴謹封死，但應該就如同名字顯示的，是普通的醫院吧。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxwjUXwwdh
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fkf3SBqLP
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1y5CGlOpY
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw7x4i44up
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrlJdmaLoy
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbOZazwp4d
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OUZ3KI4Fz
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnVfJKHN2o
依奴皺起眉頭，試圖深吸一口氣，肺部的收縮似乎造成了痛楚。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkjFVi2a4Q
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELlMXXdEUh
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4yl6q3kCZ
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VJR0mpmjw
赫恩連忙跑過去扶助依奴，幸好依奴很快就恢復狀況，硬撐著剛甦醒的意識，勉強讓自己重新站直。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvnKItqkrv
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQk9PUBipj
他臉上的血管出現了細微的蠕動，隨著大口喘息的動作而顫抖，模樣相當嚇人。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBTRfNZBiZ
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbF1JP64be
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCK5mOltgO
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA8QS0A1yj
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFK2eBpMyJ
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bfJgxxNFM
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPTQvl7513
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yNSrajVZn
他用發抖的手拉開行囊，從藥罐中倒出止痛藥片，仰頸吞嚥下去。經過幾分鐘的調整呼吸後，氣色才漸漸好轉。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhpeyY1YsK
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe4lgmagoP
他將倒地的摩托車拉起立直，然後放鬆地用力吸了一口長氣。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BPxSRB9WW
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IC1siLYsn
就像往常一樣，他拿出保溫杯倒了一份冒著蒸氣的溫水給赫恩。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9chgduTyKT
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FKy8gzHuZ
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj4eNq3Jgm
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8g0LuxJhb
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbqDVknMHK
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWtlymwiGy
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uw2DoitUn
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC2UIhV8s2
「我早就習慣了。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RaGbXj1oD
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eKt0a1gIc
依奴垂下雙眸，即使依舊是名少年，他習慣性的表情卻總是透著難以言喻的沉鬱，雖然他未曾用言辭表達，但心中一定壓抑著什麼。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R0qa9DDxR
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkcFJ8bFNy
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEZmIf4vws
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KiievwXnx
只不過是一天前，同樣是在黎明時觀看這個男孩的側臉，樣貌卻已經完全不同。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1zDv9TpxN
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI22BJ6Ktj4
雨季的厚雲剝奪了陽光的溫度，而少年漂亮的面容也已經被恐怖的傷痕摧毀。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ502VT5icNl
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPHcCEESj5
赫恩輕輕啜飲了一口溫開水，好在至少這份溫度依然留存著。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuYXg4erNd
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoZ9BitbdJ
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZI5qSSuar
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWg8oyhkuF
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQulzEnith9
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMFwwTZPBO
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeolNVFNShP
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1mNrtJqup
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSW1RVB0go
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sEB1Yt9VY
「這裡是？」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4xXctIvOD
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iwOQfF8Iw
「算是城市邊陲地帶的市區，從這裡繼續往西的話就能看到海岸了。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjyUMsnMT0
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73jNczJVED
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18RLeklSG5
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxSUG6YNGU
「這裡是受到閻融爐爆炸的傷害較小的災區外圍，距離政府軍能利用的入口也相當遠。碎片瓦礫堆積而成的小山形成了絕佳屏障。如果不是像我一樣知道正確的走法，又沒有空中攝影機做引導，並且開著重型工程車鏟除路障的話，兩三天內幾乎不可能穿越複雜的貧民窟廢墟，抵達這個地方。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo7JuwVHij
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEMoi0YYOs
依奴指了指身後的醫院：409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD1ONkCj4Q
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0KNlIW95s
「但不曉得貧民窟現在的狀況實際上如何了，我們能待的時間也不多。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0J8JCAsJ5
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2Ls87ApXO
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WQBcTCuEK
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebAmf1acDq
依奴原本沒做多想就要去接，但他在最後一刻頓住了，回想起昨天高架公路上的經驗，讓他很快的又把手抽回來。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn7GMlGLGG
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis5xaGpIUa
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwNFG2IC0L
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJcXGmOmz1
「不可以嗎？」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzzdg4upgf
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS2spyygF1
「妳真的打算握？」看著赫恩毫無多慮的疑惑表情，依奴輕嘆了口氣。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu3iF97DD1
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYn5UQPNAI
「把杯蓋給我。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCufGtsjyvk
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZmq64YPnM
「就讓我握一下吧。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKiWW9ENt0
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFXGq3v9XY
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyeKmeQfGX
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfaKJiWbn6
「依奴。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02gNmV1zvA
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDf93MqQzF
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW8zPfJcOV
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTbuSg5crC
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeSTQNLD8p
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnESiAZYOra
她將依奴的手撫貼在臉頰上，感受著已經漸漸回歸肌膚之間、流淌著血液的熱量。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVRj46nwom
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QhunSa3La
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4D9LZMDtu
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD66iFUFIMB
「溫度回來了。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcMALvd5eA
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYN5ddZaH3
「好了嗎？」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pCg9cWF68
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAT4mi6uVC
「再稍微這樣一下子。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0X6bq6Qpf
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOv5r0dbXK
像是在彌補之前的擔憂般，赫恩仍然緊握著不放，兩人就這麼僵持了數秒，對依奴來說還真是相當尷尬的體驗。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvqYhVO2sz
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu0JK0rYTz
但是，看到赫恩穩定安適的表情，他更不想打斷這樣的片刻。由於自己的手掌比較冰冷些，赫恩臉頰的溫熱感也渲染到了手上，依奴若有所思地感受著這份溫度。他深感慶幸，此刻的他竟然還留有性命，能觸及她的臉頰。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFXtzj8ohq
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviwgRHEMf2
或者說，他就是為了奪回這份真實感，才能夠苟延殘喘到此刻──409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUpkh1AESr
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMqlHlqx7w
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu0j9gfJTO
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy9Vzg3yvl
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeZBDhnu42
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oJCUdbg9d
「喂。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWgN8fFYDP
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq42O6DgJJI
「現在移除裝置可能導致不可預測的資料損毀，確定要移除嗎？」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KROqfFXqL
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdLAnZ2SyA
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHvwWyjSII
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsig3b6SX0E
恢復平靜後，他把摩托車藏到建築的陰暗處，用垃圾桶和廢帆布稍微遮掩。接著用鋼索發射器朝醫院的二樓開了一槍，拉出堅韌的繩索。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU9fFKW1fx

抱起赫恩後，他踩上旁邊的汽車當作階梯，墊了一步，順著跳躍的勢子往上飛升。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sIwQP3V6n
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO9UoZvWfg
依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KQTOBmTWP
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUS3fh0V4P
玻璃碎塊零落地四散一地，在積滿灰塵地地面上刮出痕跡。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzKTDrnTd8
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHfgncGoDh
赫恩還是不太習慣這種三度空間式的移動方式，因為暈眩而意識搖晃了下。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhg8ZMmXJc
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50jqfLIpIx
她扶著牆壁環視四周，內部除了尋常地醫療機構之外，並沒有什麼奇特處。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG6lKAz7LS

「依奴，為什麼要來這裡？」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcjud9Ao4N
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3lasi4bdy
「建築物下層有間資源倉庫。包括貧民窟可能短時間內就會被攻陷在內，旭夜機會把所有可能性都做足了保險。我常常負責將一些非常貴重的物資轉移到這裡來。目前首先要補充彈藥和汽油，再來決定下一步。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWRlpD9FJu

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplSJAKI43C
依奴並沒有正面回答赫恩，他收起鋼索發射器掛在腰上，往走廊的另一頭踏出步伐。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRThtpvE6de
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVEPeiN6vy
醫院裡瀰漫著某種難以言喻的臭味，大多是水氣的濕臭，但隱隱約約似乎也包含著藥品的刺鼻味道。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaH5UfkR31
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI3RgpPfJN
「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbNZevqzKT
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKfb7GXWCt
依奴用平淡的口氣說：409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6Lfid37eB

「而且，也根本無從整理起呢。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Knp3jRCl0
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7J1I4hJoH
赫恩乖巧地緊跟著他的腳步，迅速通過了長廊，沿著已經停擺的手扶梯往樓下走。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS4rf2j9k2
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeMdBDsRiK
醫院裡的狀況相當慘烈，牆面上的污漬、傾倒的醫療器材等等，看起來非常不祥。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriOAXpYA15
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfmpMg4URe
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZndc6sMqO
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CWwA75Gv5
閻融爐暴走造成的都市機能癱瘓，把這座城市幾乎所有的電子設備都燒毀了。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8AeQoRZ0j
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G6RZkDWOj
那些藉由先進醫療器材延續生命的病人們，在斷電的當下是怎麼想的？而那些剩下的人們沿著靜止的電扶梯徒步逃亡，砸毀不聽使喚的自動大門，互相推擠著、叫嚷著奪門而出。，走在一片漆黑的街道上，是如何的絕望。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6bEWuT9GH
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUe5NNG5nt
赫恩想像著，體會著當時人們的惶恐、絕望。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4fqP56ZO6
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGfwzTZO7u
兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SJAYxSwhW
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGqSO44QXJ
赫恩被眼前的景象震懾住了，她僵立在手扶梯旁，許久無法發出任何聲音。眼前的大廳，由於門口被鐵捲門阻擋，缺乏光線而顯得幽暗。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iZdmR2Vs9
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ehchRwffJ
但在不清晰的亮度之下依然能辨識出，那是極端非人道的慘狀。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4TGK2tn9W
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbWOiAFB5y
在大廳的盡頭有個巨大的缺口，明顯是用炸藥摧毀出的破洞。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrU1bibxD0
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtnXA0CY5g
從缺口處到醫院的出口，這一段短短的空間，卻是最為悽慘的「激戰區」。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrfNk9zx3p
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoJIUbkC7T
崩落的牆面、散落的磁磚、暴露的鋼筋。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSmkigxYca

徒留下形狀，散落於各處，無人為其收拾的、人的死骸。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRbeiK5tYM
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqx5d91843
一定是在這座城鎮化為廢墟之後就置之不理了吧？經過了這麼長久的時間，大多數的死屍都會被野生動物拖走、被昆蟲分解掉，然而依然有些痕跡遺留了下來。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfiXFDC72i
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlZO2yNgUo
四周能找到不少燃料瓶的空罐——居然在如此狹窄的室內空間裡選擇用上火焰發射器，光是這樣的行為本身就充滿了殺意。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1CwfawsVW
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0qx4KagRh
面對能夠將整個大廳的氧氣都燒乾的熱焰攻勢，別說是留下全屍了，那樣就連靈魂都無法得到安寧的死亡吧。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhpgAntMUA
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocuo68PS8O

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ1d6sv2JJ
他彷彿在回味著陳舊血腥的洗禮一般，寧靜地佇立在屍堆之中，不過即使背對著赫恩，她也能感受到依奴此刻的情緒是如何的沉重。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28eGOt3WaB

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H3Qr6Dgbx

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySnFUVeacl
外面傳來了腳步聲。踏在堅硬地板上的敲擊聲實在太刺耳了，她已經快被這種聲音弄到抓狂了。還有耳語！隔著牆壁傳來的，隱隱約約的對談聲，途中甚至還能聽到自己的名字混雜在內，這樣的折磨也足夠讓心靈枯槁了。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54GujOJnvZ

外面的光線瞬即朝她伸出指爪，譚雅就像被一把白色的利刃穿刺般疼痛地瞇起雙眼，她急遽地朝後方退開，背部重重撞在牆壁上。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5scoo3cmax

馴狗人的超兵計畫，傾向於加強軍人與軍犬的同步性。因為光靠攝影機的偵查效能不佳，而且儲電量會影響作戰時間。如果馴狗人和軍犬本身能夠以無償的方式交換情報，就能大大提升作戰的靈活度，於是依奴這樣的生物就誕生了。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmT6b7J71j

無論是人或軍犬，任何一方面臨死亡時所經歷的痛楚，都會由另一方承受。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt6klrLy9k
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJtDuklir1
能夠使生命逝去的方法千奇百怪，無論刀傷、槍傷、斬首或心臟遭到穿刺，無一例外地，還活著的那一方都會以活著的狀態，體驗死亡的感覺。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot0ycRPqyZ
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXYv1jdOsp
「在多數狀況下，死亡體驗時常刺激過度，讓另一端活著的大腦也麻痺，造成雙方死亡。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4Nw7M0yEh

「已經過了好幾年，我的成長加上象牙也會衰老，拜此所赐感應能力已經沒有當年那麼精準了吧。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLnVUNLhCO
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ88Ce7PQw9
說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb7LbXvXCr
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tuGvXs3ds
依奴就像是要將餘悸迷濛的不快感清除一般，深深地吸了一口氣。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnjEQain5v

「胸口被子彈貫穿的經驗，我倒是紮紮實實地體驗了一次。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09WSSqZ4qh
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMQsW9EJ3P
由於劇烈的痛楚，依奴瀕死的痙攣讓肉體變成了如今醜陋的模樣。那個當下就連肺臟也差一點失去功能，讓依奴幾乎無法呼吸到足夠量的氧氣。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtVpEKy3uN

下一次面臨死亡的感覺時，就再也睜不開眼睛了。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrxyCSmqLQ
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMy2taqEqR
值得慶幸嗎？應該感到安慰嗎？至少已經脫離了怪物的行列吧。依奴不善長對一件事情的轉折表現出情感，他習慣默默地接受發生在自己身邊的變化。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmpAekcL8o
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ecTgiOahE
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXP9wkDqyK
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECe6Gcrhg6
象牙對自己來說是什麼樣的存在呢？是寵物抑或是夥伴？甚至能夠說是自己身體的一部份吧？但另個層面來看，象牙的存在也不過是依奴過去悲慘經驗的陰影罷了。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkqvUifcif
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2JJpw7gTi
他們是那段黑歷史的最後根據。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtPIeS6HDJ

此刻連同馴狗人的研究場一同埋葬了。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVHbX1VBxR

赫恩若有所思地凝視著無人的街道。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEndrE0abz
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF88IEIkHe
「或許有那麼一點吧，在妳身上找到『自己的投影』。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6DqET7xVX
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR9UFoFEQG
依奴低垂著頭，淡淡地說：409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv0VQzbBkX

「所以，想要將妳從這個都市中拉出來的心情，我能篤定自己是認真的。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYEoXUZeK3

「依奴當時是怎麼逃出來的呢？」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiHhpBqPy8

「我很感謝『黑色聖夜』。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkEPVMYViV
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUapKaL77p
赫恩對於依奴的發言，露出了疑惑的表情。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHPE82cTLV
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ1SLWBBuF
「黑色聖夜發生後，訓練機構中的警備系統癱瘓，我們率領著自己的狼犬，突破研究室的大門，殺死逃竄的科學家，從警衛手中奪走槍枝。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlirbnwQ304

不，正確來說，尚年幼的我們無法拿捏分寸。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjdfN9kW0t
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL89vj0gcjY
我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2n2aX1Gx4
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5ovNHSbW9
因此，我們解放了自己的憎恨。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4VjDRM8oz
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX7xEu2m0D
不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5eOGIHyFO

無數無辜的人死了。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3P4ApDRjo
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD76Lg3vk99
要說我們「如同野獸一般」這樣的形容法是不精確的。因為受盡折磨的孩子與遭到囚困的狼犬們，兩者之間的恨意重疊、融合，最後那是跟獸性沒有兩樣的情緒。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCUjWZhBEF
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sPdzOtzQB
從牢籠支中掙脫，親手得到了染滿鮮血的「自由」後，我們放手做盡自己擅長之事。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4AKu7io3d

過不了多久，來自中央發展區的鎮壓軍隊封鎖了醫院，展開肅清。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxsu1VI74o

「才會留下這樣的痕跡……」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVGiVzrWR9

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26KrG0LDJe

「嗯，當時我覺得並沒有什麼不好。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcG4E2pCur

最後整個傭兵團被游擊隊吸收，然後輾轉認識了旭夜，才真正了解了自己以前生活的都市。能源局為了塑造這座先進的閻動都市，究竟犧牲了多少外人？時至今日就算再探究也毫無意義，只要明白……閻融爐所帶來的災厄比利益更多就足夠了。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfyPWC3SMJ

「你為什麼回到曾經逃離的地方呢？」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBablRSw0p

拯救、回報、恩惠、生存價值之類的飄渺字眼，太過銳利了。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzokSKsphgH
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKFz6eVcOb
如果把那些語言套在自己身上，那麼黑色聖夜所帶來的死亡，那些直到今日依然徘徊於她的腦海中的働哭與低喃，他們的存在意義又如何？409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO0ZnI1AhJ

那些聲音，那些死亡。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwKuWn29jC

屬於「黑色聖夜」的真實只能有一個。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLNDHgDa5Z

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5bBbA1ZvY
她不自覺地用雙手掌掐緊自己的脖子，試圖讓與上地雜亂思緒窒息。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7kXhMPUqe
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPJA5m76me
現在衝擊著胸口的這種感覺，是感情嗎？409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgF02NyjnJ

她迷惘地低喃，無法理解如何啜泣的她，只能不停顫抖著。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi3lsKxlHb
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmb4MLFG9I
「如果總有一天，保護著我的依奴也會像那些死去的人一樣，被災難的陰影吞噬掉，在我腦中化為虛無的殘影，這樣的話我不要……」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5BjY17x6C

她驚愕地抬起頭。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS0VnXAu5D
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5HU63EDFg
下一秒，依奴伸出手臂，將她瘦弱的身體摟進懷裡，赫恩的臉側緊貼著少年的胸膛。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEXMrAkA4A
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbOdPrTA6H
「聽見了嗎，這個心跳聲？聽到血液撞擊心室的聲響了吧？」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7erfKZVG48
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT368FnL3kx
依奴低著頭，在赫恩耳際輕與呢喃：409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQW72ih3RV
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOumIL5BrBD
「把視線放在我身上！妳存在的此刻，我和妳一樣存在著。如果妳必須為那些早已無法吐息的死者背負罪咎，那麼現在抱著妳的我該怎麼辦？」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsseh6wnVe
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHVeRUYGAO
「可是……」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk84NnzmIW
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl8bcseWCk
依奴將赫恩抱得更緊，令她無法喘息。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78cz59PMOE
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5TvjTZtvr
「妳沒有做錯！自始自終存在的，就僅僅是妳自己而已！別自作多情了！死者就是死者，過去就是過去，妳才沒有背負性命獲罪業的權力！將我從地獄之中拯救之後，接下來赫恩必須拯救的，僅能拯救就是妳自己！不是為了誰，是為了赫恩妳！」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm5bt61nTQ
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFFDgsGK9G
赫恩因為驚愕而睜大的雙眼，隨著少年的話音逐漸恢復了神色。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZawHFscH2
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ2UZ6mQ9D
虛脫感在她嬌小的身軀上擴散，就像剛剛從恐怖的惡夢裡掙脫，赫恩輕輕加深了呼吸，不再恐慌地顫抖。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5hLhU78ml
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35DIaE5pv5
倚靠著依奴的身體，她安逸地閉起雙眸。接著，像是要讓對方知道自己已經沒事了，她發出了微弱地聲音：409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPtnxZHikR
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R0cQgMq1q
「依奴的胸膛……很溫暖。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWL6dSEyF2

「感受到了嗎？」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglSnK6q33k

所以，已經沒有問題了。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpH6CtTwlc
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUiSK8004T
微風的低吟填充了對話的沉默，穿梭於曾被砲火責罰過後的都市。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56UbG6MBmX
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8jqvve4o8
彷彿在確認彼此的容身之處，依奴與赫恩感受著對方的存在，試著用這一點點微薄的證明，讓彼此不致於迷惘在這片廢墟當中。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd8IE0mMin
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVeZJ9oSHz
不知過了多久，響起的細碎電子音才打斷了他們的沉默。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe24w5F5X2n
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf90jf36h2W
掛在依奴腰際的通訊儀器發出了電碼的頻率。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomUf2Y7GVi
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrHwepvZe9
依奴沒有任何動作，只是緊抱著赫恩，將那段訊息聽完。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGejsGmq5iB
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc4SJdVZFc
同樣的頻率重複了兩次，在這之後，通訊儀器再次回歸死寂。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3UzHtvZq6
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPsYSPsr7G

「戰爭終於要開始了，對吧。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFineu84P9n

那些受害者、受益者、得救者、期望者們，將要匯聚在一起。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarqwfpqX8U

在那場改變一切的崩塌無數年月過後——409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbp9Dsyo61

「依奴要去當傭兵了嗎？」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkePLkT7i6g
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLVBaD0cKY
面對懷中少女的提問，他一時間無法用任何言語應答。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdDejpmO0i
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwJt29z9K2
他將自己的臉埋在赫恩肩上，僅限此刻，貪婪地試圖保留那股氣息。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifDIlFvvzQ
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKYeA0gN2r
「和我一起逃走吧。」他低喃著：409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKNg12m6yk
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09NUDvfw2V
「摩托車的油已經加滿了，我們繼續向西前進，一天後就能夠出海，從水路離開的話還能逃到其他國家。我們現在就從這片地獄離開，然後再也不要回來。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCSbhh8o6n
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhrIV48Ax9
「地獄——」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqIlVDjicf
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfZOtQHbbe
此刻浮現在赫恩腦海中的，並非毫無生息的研究所、虛假繁華的街道、撩亂交錯的燈光，也沒有潰散崩塌的高樓、解體沉降的橋樑或哀哭掙扎的人們。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMusxCtczC

閃過的畫面，只有譚雅那泫然欲泣的表情。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nxMIUhN9M

陌生的穿刺感痛擊了她的胸膛。409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLSZ1XnrmO

赫恩輕輕搖了搖頭：409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWf0PQmOHU

「依奴，請帶我回去吧。」409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF4ZZl58YN
