這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM9FKBaA5g
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmwFgMvbRh
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0ttx4VQ78
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b5W8cZXnJ
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYulcU7aeIw
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetfvlZgAvK
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUHWQxl9Zr
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eY1ANiyMc
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFDIjY8H4R
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwxjF5aX4K
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyIEn7iwTU

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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNa2Xtw4f7
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqWzXBbE1L
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfAkqolAN1
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF92416yuMt
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GQvJc1ROz
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtYZTBehXf
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTNZqKf0jd
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZWlxvA4yi
距離高盧游擊部隊完全集結，朝中央發展區展開總攻擊，還有兩個小時。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7vISylYJk

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa6SxApnV2
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxegOz1b7g1
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn4uI38O4P
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQXXr5K9TZ
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPF83pv0PQ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CrxAFN4h8
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9PE9KlvxS
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhTa0MhNKe
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeyB7nWbXP
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8Q5u1ist0
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylv5xr0FIG
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsSBQsjq7J
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4CHa87dIQ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3cPe1WTcy
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj6QAdwQ01
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4swi9h23WW
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH4OVl4fUX
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlrVYqslEq
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns7k0pYwVL
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ87L2yxfNN
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAgbs02QaM
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQbS73E4Qg
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyVzQZdwx4
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAJ57i3UWE
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBU6WJApUn
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YxUinv4WA
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkBOuTV7IL
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa2a6ydCaB
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORsoipvMa0
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTy5Bx5U5P
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv1bwCEYfn
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJIIuZpiI2
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXu6jbOqlD
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO2OhNfSw3
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa8YZMUJEg
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUkEAyBw1N
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──350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjHFncFzpx
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDndEkGfEXg
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnh9zpFBUC
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsXD5IS5rw
「唔嗚！」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6TqETZyQQ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmqPea1Hjc
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZjq4ExCNB
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5uiIgnmAG
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvr8un5fp6
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62Zo0w9eZn
「依奴！」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeliOCUmdq3
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnS30Y13Ik
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6DrK96YwT
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlBp9cSRgv
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXfGAuTy05
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgnHiVInWc
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7Zi7jQvhT
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnnzhSCEJD
「依奴──」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y46IHbM1V
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtsc2QZfpv
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPuGOMlhMW
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHsIpowJlO
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OKIa5qc8S
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTDvB4WroM
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarIzlUX9vz
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZPjS3X3WH
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81k6C3qOVl
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftPsTxpadI
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmCkTkF6rE
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0Nxk3Shm3
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFsiWUv1ZV
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWgHUdSRcK
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75PiP1qJpx
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W1kQPhiQ3
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg7tlRdBlb
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvX9E6RISK
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrrwdqaMyG
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm70nQACbQm
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF0H9IB5w0
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRTCadaffw
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0cQvlxjSH
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iZAHMYsKy
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3UZJMa4I6
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRXdYiFKQA
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qnlg93QtZ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTJJRGHyPS
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xBTn2wJuS
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17jr9WQgLB
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w0IZ5ckdN
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ChZaBSyPq
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ8U7pmNRd
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4rvOsiacm
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZytmoZX74h
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLWBLoX4hv
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48B1Drxkmv
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ2MWkl8gJ
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAX5jU4LN9
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkHCoL1dXK
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTqskiVCx7
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUFpH7jJ3E
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqouh1Me1Ah
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQeN8mAKQg
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXB1EXUUli
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUYbxoH1V5
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EZ0LxLY9c
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6dmOTkcQ6
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gtfYBwtrV
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2cPn7GLY5
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt71o0sn9Rq
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkRhg738Wk
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB084r60NJ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6rJSiqgqU
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysgOVsKi75
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyTgRjsjpX
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrnQxEqqrd
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp2ZB0mHlI
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8JXSmgjOj
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lgHDU39eU
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhUOfvLsSt
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MDT9txeS1
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8NPLZrNK0
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsTSZlE8M6
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbFibeuweu
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJFPCuIifc
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ia651gXoK
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhj2PvMe9d
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQjoaJuxEx
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOCemOnOVD
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lFNIUBQiM
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwixdHc9HDI
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa3g3sbPGe
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hc730Xsdw
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmyUwHbwEn
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S83r6xl8u
「我早就習慣了。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow1A2awT4K
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcsAKqbcOe
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1wAzmgf8R
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayWWVby6Pq
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqcdXACkO1
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN2gHgtFJK
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjFJOPC9iZ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXNkm9ifb5
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBknOKH6BVf
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8AYYDiC7u
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexmFuhWB6X
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEeclYshXZ
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHls09bhYI
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsELMH2GUmo
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGbbEZZPZZ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAAwVk17vj
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmukhA8w7a
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy50tKEkqV
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZnyqGl1VY
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2YMfK4VTf
「這裡是？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni48CQQ1Lj
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYFwBwNAoF
「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。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2cSnxRQYg
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qVKXHEsP2
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN29OJGM25Y
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF6gZC70lc
「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。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRAnzTncEp
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlALdx4Htjn
依奴指了指身後的醫院：350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNP3BJE8Ze
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcuLGuxkkw
「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。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7c6HEeSOF
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR50Mvhh4si
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDK9UwwCRL
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIdijCCXW2
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXQ87Epdx4
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5CLoxT5pb
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAc1jb1chy
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTqC8s93Od
「不可以嗎？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPWJ5mbdkR
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2B9rmV2oj
「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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJExi4AUf5
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83CBVWmeHR
「把杯蓋給我。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSKq570wfj
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5JXPdrhxc
「就讓我握一下吧。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF4f6LKlEb
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT004l78IPe
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRvBgmXPOl
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHNV4YVHg8
「依奴。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNgRWz2q8P
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmfv7y6peE
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFmsPKZelJ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJi3w3ZJ49
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQEqqdAhvV
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebzrjwngkk
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAw2LkobFL
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp4XqmVJKQ
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ8H3emkca
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2CxsWXSIf
「溫度回來了。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAFNHbCGCV
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20qijcG6I1
「好了嗎？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytkNHyLXC2
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbzjp38MjR
「再稍微這樣一下子。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTAkLD5f0u
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpOV7kNeCU
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZawKBz34MU
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10G5HAz7eB
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwyTlNHSOz
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApu1E7UXPK
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──350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZSsakFmMn
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh4ADwb8rH
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zFMHC61ac
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTScL3FUupn
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3tzE3COpa
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7GfgOUNs5
「喂。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMWAjKUMdu
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq8928t0mW
「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？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbALHOTSFCK
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N2C4sjzB0
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ce62KlgCf
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5JzmRL8Wa
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11vR9Yu4SY

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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP8MxJRinM
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWFLco73yO
依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQaUGPyCQw
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsDKS3eDlG
玻璃碎塊零落地四散一地，在積滿灰塵地地面上刮出痕跡。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5N3CDFEFa
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7Xx2Srd8B
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCADhYylduO
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6RmbuK6LC
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpynbLtSTjd

「依奴，為什麼要來這裡？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlccItMmrjM
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbczbdFVwF
「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。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZLtx4My8X

「旭夜為什麼特別選了這間醫院當倉庫？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LBWZTkGlO
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3gdKvoAx9

350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafnclH0p2u
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KrJ7dygTk
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapnMtQ1cGn
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NYwYWdh26
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj3eSaTeaB
「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvodl6FzcUB
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDf77x3YLz
依奴用平淡的口氣說：350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6yI9ZqMfr
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU8RuZPQ6j
「而且，也根本無從整理起呢。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVmDMTKgpN
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLu7sl1lRy
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3FKWN5U6E
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitNQDLqmFS
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaktxRwnYyx
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjhHfNF4da
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lLqQTyy7X
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunspcbl5Oi
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieHOZfArqX
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqh8jI2FrB
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k3y7I6z6p
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBGCAtr85a
赫恩想像著，體會著當時人們的惶恐、絕望。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeTPsbkm5K
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgCSfxxUFB
兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsdHDzQ9sG
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR2Rnu5iPL
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQpFIw1fST
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNKn5pnNBu
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxlnQ07McP
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztDpFcSKus
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA0q04Yc3p
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQihkcLncRx
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」。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb4u3wLBzm
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSt1skUpHN
崩落的牆面、散落的磁磚、暴露的鋼筋。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvV5wrXK9F
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos0QZRvAzu
被機關槍掃過一遍又一遍，坑洞遍布的地面。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsbZYts0t0

以及遺骨。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1nIxLy0YK
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPF2UayaKL
徒留下形狀，散落於各處，無人為其收拾的、人的死骸。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1tVUaJmh2
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ze2BXDGpJ
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1YGgByzAQ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfgZjTE4zm
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsHMBKZHxa
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvYQiw5awf
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1bUm4LH5U
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthOCGNf25W
但為什麼要在這樣的地方作戰？甚至還用這麼重的手段？350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgf53Vfpmu

依奴說著，站到大廳的正中央。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCQGNwmrU1
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwwl5b5BaD
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL9JUuDZxm

「最後的最後，我們也只殘留下了這點痕跡嗎。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY3K53En0M

「庫奇總是走在最前面，最後也死在最靠近門口的位置。還有捨身替象牙擋下了子彈而死去的瑟拉芬。我們之中年紀最大的奧德，他的軍犬席丹。還有潔莉和狼犬水銀。盧瑟是躲在櫃台後面時被打死的，在我身邊倒下的骸還有格里、坎特……」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFdF56pkIP

「沒錯，」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaXvOJGj7s
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgPZXM2PjE
依奴緩緩回過身來，低沉著嗓音，就像回答再自然不過的問題般，輕撫著自己面頰上攀附的扭曲紋路，向赫恩開口：350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N4ghWYi3B

350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2AD4ZBLyW
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAGluSUnl9

350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlb41bRENH
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Im7Lvp1tu

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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGTPpZj9WI

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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNfdpTYX0B
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJeTFWBSFx
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe9bRQD8eB
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY0Pd9CNcJ
「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。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWde7scrsNb
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPxHDix8Ff
「但是依奴……」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpieR291sh

「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。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNrc66CCZp
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3BnhWYVCG
說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9YXc5yJiJ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA91PREqOE
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBiuBjiDYH
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d4mfjXIbs
「胸口被子彈貫穿的經驗，我倒是紮紮實實地體驗了一次。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBfxXOs70s
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHaXbd1oJW
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CClNlpYdu
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl47mEESW93
「這樣的事情已經再也不會發生了。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhI7GjUPQg

世界上最後一條馴狗人的軍犬已經喪命了。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6JBlk6WUr
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OnFyDRuxv
下一次面臨死亡的感覺時，就再也睜不開眼睛了。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0fVub1BPo
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5IlfulaSk
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y2ZE27l2T
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa03kyjAi3g
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuWguugePN
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVYz41ukZA
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv88ZVsDMz
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQFu8hJHBM
他們是那段黑歷史的最後根據。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkLXQAxeka
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOC0PFIEQy
此刻連同馴狗人的研究場一同埋葬了。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYszyvvNyFt
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RpwjIH10Q
赫恩若有所思地凝視著無人的街道。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAVYPJ5uY9
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpAXPsiF3W
「或許有那麼一點吧，在妳身上找到『自己的投影』。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1FoJiEnOE
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMWAUm4NHn
依奴低垂著頭，淡淡地說：350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5UNhkje5N
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPz4f1dupS
「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。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVF0yiEVV0
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1MLzq059w
「依奴當時是怎麼逃出來的呢？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbPMpkSTa7
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdo3MBRj0s
「我很感謝『黑色聖夜』。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NSNJkOI4U
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTAa1sAAXh
赫恩對於依奴的發言，露出了疑惑的表情。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKStkG9TDfu
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJyww1AAa4
「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。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ1BHQ71T7
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4SYeTw5Ic
最後，用炸藥在醫院的地板上製造了通道。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUNrzJIujc
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGS6wywH3e
我們是以軍人為前提訓練的孩子，所以要突破一所醫院是輕而易舉。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU1uYLjs4x
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELjQ02C4EE
不，正確來說，尚年幼的我們無法拿捏分寸。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vURhmQQRa
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzKfK2hUUX
我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2MCNpYw2t
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmUokjp4u6
因此，我們解放了自己的憎恨。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7bQ2Q5K8D
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfitaLj17fc
不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedtaq4X3xi
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKJ2huQu4n
無數無辜的人死了。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtVzRU9Mja
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4Dw8AVMrT
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXUKTjfQzh
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3gxVt067r
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsahEEdsap
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0akPcvoSC4
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDu1mpsVfo
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazZZl4YZix
「才會留下這樣的痕跡……」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss46kLTzh7
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5wg4kINmA
「嗯，除了我以外，醫院裡沒有任何人生還。長達兩個小時的僵持戰鬥，也讓對方犧牲了將近六十名軍人。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgYfkEsnFx
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvXrYj8XjV
「不過依奴最後成功離開了這座城市對吧？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMh5LnQWwR
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBC4Aq9GI7
「我在邊境遊蕩了整整一個月，最後遇到了倫斯。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFstxZ88OGz
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9tDrGdliI
倫斯把我帶到高盧生活，為了讓即使是怪物的我也能生存下去，他帶著我到處去尋找戰爭，從中賺錢。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU1juNPH20
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQYulYwsZC
「也就是傭兵？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXUzKYubhj
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjqrNrbBR4
「嗯，當時我覺得並沒有什麼不好。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC6oXVVcKS
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1ACgOX0V6
應當說，他相當感謝倫斯給了他一條新的道路。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQkxLTn6pn
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK3RGQz8ff
當生存的選擇從零變成一時，無論什麼人都會欣喜若狂吧。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvFdcQ31Zk
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54xLlq3Bbk
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROtf1nKdk0
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonHlAqr8tW
「但是，」赫恩的話音走到嘴邊，她踟躕地沉默了數秒。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9jjhmw7uW
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bZKIBgeYN
依奴的表情沒有變化，不過這副事不關己的姿態，在她眼中早已經藏不住什麼。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVHm3ge7Ml
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFFyCnAepH
那雙冷漠的眼眸中並不是毫無感情的。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tor9ItIKD

「為什麼選擇回來呢？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1ielKwjx7

赫恩就像對著空氣探問般，輕盈地訴說：350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjZy56d1JW
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ44mJ5en1o
「你為什麼回到曾經逃離的地方呢？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQt6HUBkmH
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7rx1nRj6y

首先在鐵檻的鎖頭上敲下第一錘的，是掀起所有慘劇的、純白的少女。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpXPOV8urM
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMN5bQog3V
由於她的存在，我們這些生存於黑暗之中的人們所期待的「崩塌」才能擴展。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptEd6aSVKX

依奴將手臂向後支撐，仰起視線欣賞逐漸開朗的清晨天空。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmN1yEMwGw
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1xRlHgwgD
「赫恩，妳就是我的『存在價值』。我是因為妳才活下來的，那麼接下來我要為了妳而活著，我覺得應該如此，而且我也喜歡這個決定。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70BeqguPPZ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6Gk362a3L
自由的意義在於──能夠由自己定義自己的價值。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgqAh059bP
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqCfBXmlbj
依奴所歸屬的『價值』，僅僅是與赫恩相遇。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4bQm6UZSo

「不……不行。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gDqqfq7U9
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAMaYu0VhK
赫恩搖了搖頭，沉下雙眸並且避開了依奴的視線。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1W4zBqMcl
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO79c93b66U
「我的存在能夠讓誰獲得自由、值得讓誰來犧牲奉獻——依奴現在所說的話……總覺得好可怕。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2pJq99GVD
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5Kovim2FK
赫恩瑟縮著身體，凌駕於寒冷之上的理由，讓她畏縮地環抱著自己。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gdd6c9bfq
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SexP4NMRv
拯救、回報、恩惠、生存價值之類的飄渺字眼，太過銳利了。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zPoM7VLEZ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1gYLM8AET
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？350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ6t6VCqju
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3Q0InM22A
那些聲音，那些死亡。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdXTp8VUW0
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDU8zNujBJ
她能夠擺脫那些混濁的過往，自私地追求自己的解放嗎？350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmFN4MbhFb
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e4D4unHQI
屬於「黑色聖夜」的真實只能有一個。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsXyOnlBeC
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNvtQ7SNhE
那就是能夠永遠奪走人們笑容的，瘋狂且腐敗的慘劇。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKteXw0NGt

「依奴，我是造成大家死亡的『災難』……」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYNvucrgGb
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEL3LZV5ew
赫恩搖晃著腦袋，濕潤的銀白色髮絲因此狼狽地搖晃。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0bqKH8meQ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkF9LlG5ic
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjticubEehG
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7sRwYZvRc
現在衝擊著胸口的這種感覺，是感情嗎？350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmxgi67h5J
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9xkUgQc08
這就是恐懼嗎？350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyo5zdjazQ

350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsaoU6cgv0
她迷惘地低喃，無法理解如何啜泣的她，只能不停顫抖著。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0q1BBE5rm
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohfNkqD2er
「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……」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C4cHyE0fy
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5kVH2K52t
「赫恩，看著我，我還活著！」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhllKn70kr
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdo9o623vV
她驚愕地抬起頭。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLntiFRRPba
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH5tE7ugLL
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA6CqntV33
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhMEMU8nZb
「聽見了嗎，這個心跳聲？聽到血液撞擊心室的聲響了吧？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuxuRvsm8R
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYpDLyUVEg
依奴低著頭，在赫恩耳際輕與呢喃：350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm8AaY985N
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzYGv3byBN
「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？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgWsHJjopj
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeCZOajsih
「可是……」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTMMUgLN3a
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9e34BekNa
依奴將赫恩抱得更緊，令她無法喘息。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaK0WY0yBi
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHxacouvlf
「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！」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKYG32awNV
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgixkVmdUZ
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKuVYkaEKJ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQcTZBoMmG
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhc4NnBab3
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0AdggNVBJ
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：350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSGeeuB5Z2
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJfyXzECTN
「依奴的胸膛……很溫暖。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOfKxWn1Rp
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghFr8Dltpv
「感受到了嗎？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2sJMKZBTd
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlyDzqbFgL
「嗯，感受到了，活著的依奴，還有活著的我自己。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdkQlJvVDI
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ebE8YNsgZ
所以，已經沒有問題了。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lkfVxcF2Y
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeJngX8pWc
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibeWYoPSlL
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffIF24hHZx
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DU6jqlWoR
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTorT012W6k
不知過了多久，響起的細碎電子音才打斷了他們的沉默。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rSGNvQzhJ
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sbLCldIj0
掛在依奴腰際的通訊儀器發出了電碼的頻率。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzNxr7rqbU
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzC9pzYwZT
依奴沒有任何動作，只是緊抱著赫恩，將那段訊息聽完。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxtZDcVeDA
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8RkC2o8nn
同樣的頻率重複了兩次，在這之後，通訊儀器再次回歸死寂。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2FrbGYqV4
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BM2m9BBp5
「是艾瑪利的訊息。」依奴的聲音顯得低沉且無情緒，甚至有些僵硬。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUr6aLqlFA

「戰爭終於要開始了，對吧。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtQtyR00MH

——起點於黑色聖夜。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZPu4XDy3u
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZzQC59Fs0
那些受害者、受益者、得救者、期望者們，將要匯聚在一起。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC44EBmuY6
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93HaY2JIOn
在那場改變一切的崩塌無數年月過後——350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZReDf9SJ9
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dQ3kdKrSj
「嗯，沒錯，戰爭終於開始了。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GoZRNfPRB

「依奴要去當傭兵了嗎？」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsxaIbd2YT
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2MAAKJx0i
面對懷中少女的提問，他一時間無法用任何言語應答。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2MrPX8qF1
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0229DJ3ola
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0468f61Ip
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rGfNCUKzf
「和我一起逃走吧。」他低喃著：350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7jE1WTnTw
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bbfkxd5Oi
「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。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFMflZnT2p
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkA6Rm5wEI
「地獄——」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetmV6A4D9Q
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwOkhH1plr
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。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpsmMtEaw9
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yyCRQg2ii
閃過的畫面，只有譚雅那泫然欲泣的表情。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeaSeXRKk1
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0NM9wK85J
陌生的穿刺感痛擊了她的胸膛。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4PEnluqzt
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9kEmkJ3gH
這份尚未命名的情感，刺激著她沉寂的胸口，催促著她去感受。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt05QemM7kk
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGXtUYlShC
赫恩輕輕搖了搖頭：350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SD3YoDdvy
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sXg5ukMeH
「不可以，」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJhsBxcsEv
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l78wrDRwj
她輕輕推開了依奴的擁抱。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBujMFdBy1

「依奴，請帶我回去吧。」350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwZexsczck
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklnq403i5C
那或許是她此生至今，第一句最為堅定的話語。350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWGqCEAYEC
「崩塌還沒有結束，事情還沒有改變，而我也……還沒有獲得自由。」
