這簡直太荒謬了,以為罪證確鑿卻是一場空。先不說竟然不小心與比自己厲害許多的人做對,真的槓上了不知道會有什麼下場,這就算了,現在看起來只像是自己在無理取鬧罷了。302Please respect copyright.PENANAurEIIYHcMP
302Please respect copyright.PENANAExrmiPJKK3
二郎鬆開手,任湯花帶著驕傲氣焰將紅色徽章塞回口袋。302Please respect copyright.PENANAQJBcPiwAtv
302Please respect copyright.PENANA26rMSorhBP
「妳……」他仍舊無法理解,「都高級了還偷我們的東西?」302Please respect copyright.PENANAmzq7XfBIXL
302Please respect copyright.PENANAFLaNrDLQ10
「天啊,都這樣了你還認為東西不見是我偷的嗎?」湯花的浮誇程度明顯是在責怪對方了,她扶著額頭,隨後無力垂下手,切換成警告意味濃厚的低沉嗓音,「我告訴你們,我們做生意的最講求誠信,敢隨便栽贓人試試看。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAtbXErVZFbs
302Please respect copyright.PENANAQj4ZxtcjrX
都講到這個份上了——而且湯花的氛圍轉變也頗讓人害怕,完美詮釋了何謂翻臉比翻書還快——哈吉爾不安地靠近二郎耳邊輕問,「你確定真的不是自己弄丟嗎?」302Please respect copyright.PENANAbhyFGiQiMU
302Please respect copyright.PENANAhb1C8hV7PE
「什麼?哈吉爾你這傢伙真的是遇到女人就弱掉了啊!」二郎不敢相信連同伴都開始懷疑自己,小聲咕噥回道:「……我沒有證據,但肯定是她沒錯。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAdAGKtcU84g
302Please respect copyright.PENANABRTBECSF3G
你要不要聽一下自己在說什麼?這樣我要怎麼幫你啊?哈吉爾愣了半晌後開口,「那麼……我覺得東西應該還在她身上。如果是我的話,我肯定會藏在——」302Please respect copyright.PENANAVkNzIP4SdS
302Please respect copyright.PENANAqy4wIeqClv
「幹嘛?你們兩個大男人難不成要搜我的身嗎?」302Please respect copyright.PENANAoU86ow3VzH
302Please respect copyright.PENANA2x0jAf87Yv
別的先不說,湯花就屬聽力特別好了。她雙手大剌剌敞開,「來啊,摸啊!要搜就搜徹底一點,摸啊!」302Please respect copyright.PENANA44gAT510ct
302Please respect copyright.PENANAYgbE4aqh4w
她咄咄逼人的語氣就像後頭的汽車喇叭,逼人不自覺催緊油門。302Please respect copyright.PENANAbSDtAkWb5e
302Please respect copyright.PENANAvUQfoespAV
哈吉爾明明完全沒有那個意思,卻被湯花的口氣嚇得抬手,彷彿要往前伸,又被自己理智給拉回。他只好朝二郎求救,可是後者只顧瞪著湯花,根本沒注意到哈吉爾無助的眼神。302Please respect copyright.PENANAaAq73dAgll
302Please respect copyright.PENANAM6HeeV5jsF
應該沒關係,不要碰到身體,只檢查那個的話應該沒關係吧?302Please respect copyright.PENANAcd2Ua2S8u8
302Please respect copyright.PENANAkS4JE8rEkI
在內心天使與惡魔的激烈拉扯後哈吉爾開始伸手,魔法師的魔爪正緩緩靠近湯花傲人的胸脯——302Please respect copyright.PENANApW5uQWDWXm
302Please respect copyright.PENANAVW73GYDRbt
二郎及時握住哈吉爾手腕。302Please respect copyright.PENANANlFolGTDwF
302Please respect copyright.PENANAjq60QAGufI
沿著藍色武士服袖口向上望去,他正對著湯花露出得逞的賊笑:「妳自己說的哦,我們會徹·底·檢·查·一·遍。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAEogAKHhrQ7
302Please respect copyright.PENANATDGWsMcAgl
「二郎,你……」哈吉爾難以置信。302Please respect copyright.PENANAjc6EwxrDVS
302Please respect copyright.PENANAlM1bj1BDTw
當然,身為當事人的湯花也是震驚,她就是仗著對方會被自己氣勢嚇得退縮才如此大膽,完全沒料到二郎竟然……302Please respect copyright.PENANAxqbLOK3FNN
302Please respect copyright.PENANA0aqMGsSkkz
「呵,變態。」她冷哼。302Please respect copyright.PENANAXeWnqgUJIQ
302Please respect copyright.PENANAohZZrLWjZw
「妳在想什麼啊?我有說是我要搜嗎?」302Please respect copyright.PENANAPcmzn2EtJ7
302Please respect copyright.PENANA69HZ7jckUa
蛤?湯花一臉懵逼,仔細一瞧才發現二郎的目光其實不在自己身上,而是她身後的紅色布簾。302Please respect copyright.PENANA8YgD3wmCuE
302Please respect copyright.PENANArE1RCAsTsV
「在和梨出來以前妳可別想跑。」
302Please respect copyright.PENANA4vExtMGFA2
302Please respect copyright.PENANAVelMNM5KXp
等待和梨的這段期間哈吉爾已經幫二郎的手治療得差不多了。302Please respect copyright.PENANAnAjGwLrNnA
302Please respect copyright.PENANAxY1cVP0pTz
以防湯花把偷來的東西藏匿在別的地方,他們也把整個肉眼可見之處全都搜刮了一遍,翻箱倒櫃到都快誤認自己才是強盜了,卻是一無所獲。302Please respect copyright.PENANAkiSQ8Nj8wp
302Please respect copyright.PENANA3c3su5nLEh
時間流逝地緩慢。302Please respect copyright.PENANArFuun9CHtu
302Please respect copyright.PENANA4n2uNqNnYa
斑駁白牆上的掛鐘滴答作響,比起音響傳出的輕音樂,已經無事可做坐在大廳休息的他們更在意秒針移動的速度。302Please respect copyright.PENANASbN5pPfPti
302Please respect copyright.PENANAO4fXUIe2Sn
「和梨是不是泡得有點久啊?」哈吉爾有些擔心。302Please respect copyright.PENANAVkFZsCMqcl
302Please respect copyright.PENANALQrUyhmzRl
「她不是說第一次泡溫泉嗎?應該是玩瘋了吧。」302Please respect copyright.PENANACdtcTzAEAj
302Please respect copyright.PENANA9hxTUfIJ97
掐指一算可足足過了一個小時,普通游泳就算了,40度的溫度不適合泡那麼久,和梨又是一個人待在裡面,要是滑倒撞到頭了怎麼辦?302Please respect copyright.PENANACP1esJpUyL
302Please respect copyright.PENANAT7ErS853tT
哈吉爾差點就自告奮勇說要進去檢查狀況了,突然發現好像不太適合,欲言又止。302Please respect copyright.PENANAWKPq7NcpLN
302Please respect copyright.PENANArcOmFnsNIU
「既然擔心的話那就讓我去看看吧。」抓到機會的湯花開心極了。302Please respect copyright.PENANAzWL8vx98ym
302Please respect copyright.PENANAn4Ct3NR7QH
雖然能理解哈吉爾的心情,但二郎覺得又不是消失個半天一天,也許泡著泡著太舒服就睡著了也說不定啊?而且這很像和梨會做的事。302Please respect copyright.PENANAKtQ6TNolfT
302Please respect copyright.PENANAB0UvfzhapS
看那賊笑肯定是想趁機開溜或藏東西吧?二郎才不會上當。302Please respect copyright.PENANADsMZ1rGkc7
302Please respect copyright.PENANA8NCfBMB8QZ
「不行!別以為我不知道妳想幹嘛。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAjKeub5HoPC
302Please respect copyright.PENANA26bFc09eof
「因為你把我關在這的關係,這段時間我都沒辦法進去巡視泡湯區,要是溫度不小心上升到人體無法負荷的程度,你朋友可能就……」湯花故意舉起拇指在脖子前做一個割喉的動作,「溫水煮青蛙囉。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAuhdV9jdBMe
302Please respect copyright.PENANAO97UOjiR07
看一旁哈吉爾都快衝出去了,二郎暗自吐槽他不夠了解和梨,那傢伙就算變成青蛙肯定也是那種跳來跳去最煩的青蛙。302Please respect copyright.PENANAgcyXGBuOow
302Please respect copyright.PENANAKv7Fl4yHEo
「唉……」但為了隊友他只好妥協,「妳去看看吧。」302Please respect copyright.PENANA4HXTrEpRWS
302Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZTkhmab6f
看見湯花隨即露出孩子般的興奮表情,二郎立刻補槍,「但是!妳進去必須大喊和梨的名字。」這樣和梨就能聽聲音立即監視湯花的一舉一動,避免她把贓物偷藏起來。302Please respect copyright.PENANApkpqH0scaX
302Please respect copyright.PENANAe2W8HnOXuF
「然後哈吉爾,我們要跟著進到女更衣室的湯區門口前。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAlr3QGFf49Q
302Please respect copyright.PENANAOeWhcRgLD9
「認、認真嗎?!」302Please respect copyright.PENANArNkRVq3VUG
302Please respect copyright.PENANAPNI3jg5EjR
「要盯緊這傢伙不能讓她有一個人獨處的機會。」二郎解釋,為了抓犯人他還真是用盡心思,「反正沒有要進池區,看不到啦!你就當作我們要當和梨的保鑣好了。」
302Please respect copyright.PENANAi67EZkxO19
「我還是想問……我們這樣做真的好嗎?」302Please respect copyright.PENANAxLeSQHZMeJ
302Please respect copyright.PENANAVdqcms5XCw
哈吉爾戰戰兢兢走進女子更衣室,明知道沒有人卻還是東張西望,腳下吱吱作響的老舊木板令他繃緊神經,卻只換來二郎一句「良心不安你就出去嘛,反正我心無雜念。」302Please respect copyright.PENANA2EPiHBhVBl
302Please respect copyright.PENANAHllr5Tu1xc
「我也沒有雜念啊!」應該吧。302Please respect copyright.PENANADY2uHYKJWh
302Please respect copyright.PENANAWRO4XjFOR6
走在前方的湯花拉開毛玻璃門,斜眼瞥見自己果然被兩人監視著,悻悻然大喊:「和梨!妳還要泡多久?」302Please respect copyright.PENANADws4xhqjFi
302Please respect copyright.PENANAFcXoqUKRdC
叩咚!造景竹筒的水填滿而垂落,聲音迴盪,卻不見任何人回應。302Please respect copyright.PENANA7AoqAUpYoD
302Please respect copyright.PENANAcpQBYbFA1P
一秒、兩秒......五秒過去了依然鴉雀無聲。302Please respect copyright.PENANA2SkAG450io
302Please respect copyright.PENANAShXIRKrCqp
二郎與哈吉爾面面相覷,擠眉弄眼用表情問著現在是什麼情況。302Please respect copyright.PENANAllpNv9sbxN
302Please respect copyright.PENANAbeUig9byK4
「喂,聽到的話回應一下好嗎!」湯花的口氣明顯變嚴肅。302Please respect copyright.PENANAl31Ioqbtfz
302Please respect copyright.PENANAPMiiwVIgfo
泡湯超過一小時不是什麼太嚴重的事情,她見過許多老阿公老阿嬤待在熱水裡兩三個小時都沒感覺。302Please respect copyright.PENANAwvujtjfdGP
302Please respect copyright.PENANAfWWkiARnpU
但沒回應就另當別論了。302Please respect copyright.PENANAaPsuPa1rDs
302Please respect copyright.PENANAGws0lr2X0g
溫泉是讓人放鬆休息的地方,但不代表絕對安全,不然他們也不會限制三歲以下孩童禁止進入,與父親相依為命的湯花更不會在湯屋營業時間被綁在這裡只為了定期巡視女湯。302Please respect copyright.PENANAeEyh3hiJxM
302Please respect copyright.PENANAZSEi6tpyrh
客人可能滑倒、可能因溫差過大而休克,意外總是暗藏在生活周遭。302Please respect copyright.PENANArqf6CiTf1W
302Please respect copyright.PENANAlrq0AJCqZ2
人們是死是活湯花其實也不是很在意,但她唯獨不容許有人在這裡發生三長兩短。302Please respect copyright.PENANADNjFZCKfjo
302Please respect copyright.PENANACHHUrAYBbt
「這裡」可是她的家,不是可以隨便死人的地方。302Please respect copyright.PENANAeslWfKeHMM
302Please respect copyright.PENANAimqRoHCTLr
「別鬧了!快回答我!」湯花喊著,慢慢步入水蒸氣瀰漫的空間之中,她的聲音在容納五六個池子的諾大場地內迴盪。302Please respect copyright.PENANAq8X7Fbl5sA
302Please respect copyright.PENANAGCo3mgfuvD
她左顧右盼仔細尋找,最終在淋浴區隱隱約約看見倒臥在地的人影。302Please respect copyright.PENANAW1NUhTASxN
302Please respect copyright.PENANAzYtiGhcaHp
她立刻跑過去,果不其然發現和梨趴在地面,右手指穿進塑膠小凳子中間洞孔,看起來是要拿椅子做些什麼。摔落在地的蓮蓬頭上有敲擊的痕跡,和梨的肩膀、手肘處皆有瘀青及擦傷。302Please respect copyright.PENANAhWCkkD3mql
302Please respect copyright.PENANA0A3f7grcBO
這根本不是摔倒這麼簡單的事。302Please respect copyright.PENANAxU14UiPrL2
302Please respect copyright.PENANAaaslZZEs2E
「喂!妳趕快醒醒!」湯花激動搖著她,和梨腳上有個什麼突然抽走,咻——地縮回一旁熱泉裡頭。302Please respect copyright.PENANAo2ZGdQhm5E
302Please respect copyright.PENANAf40Z4Fqywr
雖然速度很快,但湯花確定那個東西很像透明觸手,卻不知道到底是什麼。302Please respect copyright.PENANAMsdaugrmvT
302Please respect copyright.PENANAyqvgJb8PBQ
「嗚……」和梨呻吟,終於睜開雙眼,她皺著眉似乎不大舒服,「是妳……」她又昏沉個幾秒才開口:「白靈……都這麼兇的嗎……」302Please respect copyright.PENANAd2fD2pQFcL
302Please respect copyright.PENANAsOEkPemdD2
什麼?302Please respect copyright.PENANA4mZOpUZUsC
302Please respect copyright.PENANAqMZ0biO4oT
湯花愣住,才赫然想起和梨泡湯前一直跟她說聽見哭聲。302Please respect copyright.PENANAMQNIvSAZt9
302Please respect copyright.PENANAHBCum2Krby
她真以為那是白靈才不管的,因為白靈不會攻擊任何人。302Please respect copyright.PENANAFhIjy77dxz
302Please respect copyright.PENANAooxOcKaiSY
「湯花,女湯這幾天不開放,我懷疑裡面有怪物。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAR1LtUgIIK6
302Please respect copyright.PENANA6KnV6kOdP7
她忽然想起父親幾天前曾說過的話。302Please respect copyright.PENANAlzUXeNlD7S
302Please respect copyright.PENANAmyvS7z8qBm
父親說好像聽見小孩的聲音,但沒看到人,後來湯花跟著他一起找了好幾次,還是什麼也沒發現。302Please respect copyright.PENANAgcjlnYjI9n
302Please respect copyright.PENANAxiUnPIFai0
為了以防萬一,父親堅持要去張貼任務請冒險者來解決,湯花只覺得他大驚小怪,明明什麼證據也沒有,都嫌最近生意不好了還繼續亂花錢,那筆任務的費用給她拿去揮霍還比較值得。302Please respect copyright.PENANAjz2kuT0dOG
302Please respect copyright.PENANAuOC7YjT9aq
「真的有怪物……」302Please respect copyright.PENANASYAr1NHPYu
302Please respect copyright.PENANAHCAIFlZtrZ
看著和梨滿身傷痕的憔悴樣,她才驚覺自己錯了。302Please respect copyright.PENANAIymAnccpZc
302Please respect copyright.PENANACYMRXyXm4g
倒抽一口氣後,她不安地看向剛才透明觸手縮回的那個池子。302Please respect copyright.PENANAuY5xYgadZ5
302Please respect copyright.PENANAVT4uMkj9jm
漣漪悄悄晃動著。
