：別被外表給欺騙了
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJaxps8SQw
「發生什麼事了！」哈吉爾一聽見湯花急切的叫，不顧二郎還在更衣室內大喊著叫他回來，直直衝進泡湯區。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0yNbSEEYi
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9GMT0R9cM
憑著聲音衝破霧氣來到淋浴區，哈吉爾低頭，深怕看到不該看的東西只敢盯著地面，卻看到趴在地面的和梨，不禁睜大了眼。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLQowwwJ3M
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11IqYnHYSV
「和——」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZzyO2AuIm
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvyFwm9kiz
「你來得正好。」湯花指著泛著漣漪的池子那頭，「和梨是被那隻怪物傷成這樣的，你去看一下。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLLwTG6dIT
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEJwpE3BhV
起初看到光著身子的和梨時內心還閃過片刻的羞澀，哈吉爾隨即注意到她身上不規則的瘀青及傷口，心情轉為擔心，然而在聽到湯花的話語後，他內心便是一把火衝上來。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4jxnwfZ7b
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEpgNnHCnh
即使毫不猶豫地將腳尖轉向了，他仍不忘確認，「妳有看到怪物長怎樣嗎？」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYKrVWurH7
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8INn7XbozJ
「本體在水裡，我沒看到，只有看到透明觸手縮回去了。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BEaup88rv
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTfvD5QEQy
接著便是一陣無人開口的寂靜，哈吉爾遲遲沒有過去，似乎是在思考著什麼，畢竟貿然行動可是討罰怪物時的大忌。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS9jGexn4y
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlmCoE24OL
直到二郎從更衣室裡追出來才打破現場的沉默。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlzEx9oOJo
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaMiy3Fq2p
「怎麼回事？」他把剛才費了數十秒才找到的乾淨浴巾扔給湯花，後者立刻將其鋪蓋在和梨身上，「池子裡有怪物。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKFjlRf5mB
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExJTgwaQmh
二郎認識的怪物種類並不多，水中生物就更少了，他只能聯想到不久前在河裡遭遇到的怪物。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApuODXDA3Y
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiEosOV7Kj
一不注意就會奪取同伴性命的怪物。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpobjwlVzsV
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIt2qTbDGX
腰際的兩把武士刀在衝刺的步伐間碰撞著，哈吉爾聽見身後開始了疾速腳步聲，當陣風從身旁越過，他一把拉住對方，「二郎你等一下！」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBu8Znbrow
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyseo86DKsR
「妳先帶著和梨離開這裡。」哈吉爾先是轉頭對著湯花喊道，見對方搭著和梨的肩踉蹌離開，他這才鬆開手對二郎解釋，「你不知道是什麼怪物吧？貿然過去太危險了。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp44W5r8Lz
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99d7S5Plg4
「難道要在這裡等牠自己上岸嗎？」二郎左手將刀鞘握得更緊些。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOenaBe0Dc
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rxHwDzdcs
「我大概有點頭緒，你能幫我個忙嗎？」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOXHDW8IIv
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjunlT8yKxH
說是幫忙，倒不如說是什麼都不要幫。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnHEcZ5nST
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcn9shTWOy
這就是哈吉爾的要求——提輕腳步到池子邊待命，什麼事都不要做，等他下一步指示。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD023A4OAb
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZNmzy1cPC
二郎有些不情願的在池邊等候著，他看得出來水裡有個巨大影子，但溫泉水並非清澈透明、加上空氣中的霧氣濃厚，他仍舊看不清怪物的樣貌。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNdGmaIAe0
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutVQm0zmki
從影子的輪廓來看，至少這次的怪物比迷加歐烏的體積小多了，剛才一聽到怪物在水裡而繃緊的神經這才鬆懈下來。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjd5dMhB86
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wtdPHtvsH
至於哈吉爾，他持續盯著池子不敢大意，身子慢慢退到淋浴區，向後伸手隨意打開了蓮蓬頭，水聲嘩啦嘩啦冒出，令遠處的二郎一頭霧水。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNLYsi76Sn
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsjlcKOc3D
「嗚嗚……嗚嗚嗚嗚……」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs1kZOT2bM
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPoZng8Kro
果然！哈吉爾眯眼，他的猜測似乎沒錯。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsxgIwEMXU
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioek6NfKjF
看二郎聽見哭聲差點要問些什麼，哈吉爾立刻在嘴前比出食指要他安靜。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pEhr1HFiX
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtc1W1UaNh
「嗚嗚……」哭聲持續著，迴盪在整個池畔，越來越大聲、越來越清晰。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOF4JTC7Xb
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnEIHTQNlN
過不了多久，兩個人都看見水中浮出許多泡泡，一個小女孩跟著浮出水面，她的背朝上，整個臉浸在水裡載浮載沉，根本與屍體無異。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr82ijGZhd5
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eWGpPz5mu
臉都泡在水裡了，哭聲打哪來的啊。二郎克制住出聲吐槽的慾望，遵從指示安靜在一旁看著。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBaLDcZqZu
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0126u5Fjb8
「二郎！這傢伙是初階的魚型怪物，只敢在人落單的時候行動，牠現在以為只有我一個人在這裡！」哈吉爾喊道：「那個小女孩是牠身體的一部分，是誘餌，碰到的話應該會被電到！」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmVTvcOmFa
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL555tRGyN
那我要怎麼做？二郎聳肩並將兩掌朝上邊搖頭，他的刀肯定會導電的。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtztfWSpZO
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21SMJz87v8
哈吉爾迅速環視四周，雖然白霧茫茫視野狹窄，他還是隱約能看到大致上的室內結構。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU8CWvRL5L
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEFSxDXext
「有了。」他指向角落一個圓形池區，那裡有一尊比人還要大的魚型石像坐鎮，滾燙泉水正從魚嘴巴不斷流出，「你砍得斷它嗎？」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitSjpyYNon
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4AQNzPB5d
二郎頭搖得可快了。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw31wLA6c0c
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJTcxZMvL6
要他砍竹或砍再硬的怪物都行，畢竟他總能從較脆弱的關節處下手，但要他砍一尊巨大石像？他的手可能會先斷掉。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhODj0Qj555
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDgqaRKG00
「不要緊，我會輔助你！總之只要把石像扔到水裡，怪物受到驚嚇應該就會衝出水面了！」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbJUsrqRGF
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nhIrEBFMF
在哈吉爾解釋的同時，哭泣聲依然持續著，「嗚嗚嗚……」或許是怪物感到困惑，牠假扮成小女孩的誘餌從水裡滑動，慢慢飄向哈吉爾的方位。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEtfB1prcV
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuvwnZc6Wo
還能有什麼辦法？二郎根本不認得這怪物，如果哈吉爾不在的話他應該會直接跳進水裡把怪物給斬了。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPAqOvOhkP
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbsyoBwHxI
他就只是晚個幾秒從更衣室裡衝出來，就看到受傷的伙伴，連怪物本體的模樣都沒見到，那他也只能夠聽哈吉爾的了。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEFsVDM7xg
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGNCBjZqeB
二郎只好認命點點頭架好準備姿勢，哈吉爾也同時聚精會神地把魔力集中在二郎的刀鋒。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZvIg4ZTKn
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8CGnuq8Ds
淺藍與深藍的光暈交錯環繞在刀身，斬擊的瞬間，石像彷彿被藍色雷射光從中剖半。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq82vusDuhL
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1VC0jpSnW
有哈吉爾魔法加持的攻擊有股說不上來的輕盈感，二郎不知道如何形容這種感覺，這跟他自己施魔法時截然不同。但時間不容許他慢慢感受這一切，石像順著斜切面滑落，二郎伸腳一踹將笨重的石塊踢入池中。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd8kOH9MvO
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfGSYu9IB3
撲通——！水池濺起三尺高的巨大水花。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCeqUl83Xs
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHHyttdG03
就像翹翹板一樣，這邊石子一落進，另一頭就有個什麼跟著水花嘣了出來。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjXlgbDk53
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoigFhWNiao
那是一條長著兩腳的魚，大概像隻大型犬那麼大，頭頂上釣竿繫著的小女孩誘餌此時縮了水，成了個手掌大皺巴巴的巫毒娃娃。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTjdYkM7Xr
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jAxhUfamX
「二郎，趁現在！」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWZnck1yU4
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKOJEt5qqQ
隨著橫向銀光劃過的是一道斬開空氣的短音，濃稠的血噴濺四周地面，甚至一些紅色在水裡擴散。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqv8hB6JKU
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbk0xBHSWK
魚怪受了傷，牠發出淒厲尖叫的血盆大口長著兩根尖銳獠牙，兩腳像青蛙般長著蹼，土綠色的鱗片並不討喜，跟牠的醜陋長相一樣。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2mRFyW2QD
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EvmxUuIGe
那聲音過於尖銳，兩人一時半刻甚至無法動彈。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJaEYyjiw4
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqmlqSW0HM
隨著魚怪物的尖叫聲擴張，牠頭頂釣著的誘餌小女孩再度膨脹成一般孩童的大小之後，如蜥蜴斷尾一樣連接的觸手從中切斷，留下一個逼真的假人墊後。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVgidOsEv0
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXhcpZFdLl
通往更衣室的門沒有關上，眼看魚怪物就要逃走了，哈吉爾單手朝前一揮，毛玻璃門立刻拉上。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBaY7nVSv2
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78wdQBSIuo
哐啷！！！240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0qzrxtIAK
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAz6QFAx69
一點用也沒有，怪物衝破門讓玻璃碎了滿地，留下一滴又一滴的血痕在地上。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mkYXeKFg2
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdlp7hKAe0
「呀———————！」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl4cetqny0
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWxRUScqzf
女性尖叫聲從破裂的門內傳來，二郎與哈吉爾這時從方才的聲波攻擊中解放，追了上去。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzZJiDMweA
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfs2wjyXu2
沿著血跡，穿越女更衣室來到大廳，那一坨又一坨的稠狀液體連接到了大門，而大門一樣被撞破了大洞，不規則的洞口邊緣一樣沾滿血跡。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXND6idHKvL
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb8kTB0iNV
牠逃走了。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tpWNTkQHL
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZolvyuJjyZ
「你們明明有兩個人，為什麼還讓牠逃了？」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AqxGWFimL
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchTHuDIvOb
責備的話語從不遠處傳來，二郎不禁瞪大了眼，「妳說什麼？」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghvM5ilLS7
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1KBjyCCRT
當他轉過身發現湯花就站在牆邊，身上沒有一絲戰鬥過的痕跡，內心是一把火燒了起來。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFIIqlH3JE
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyTAaR4hav
身處大廳的湯花只發出稍早前的一聲驚聲尖叫，就任由怪物逃走了。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZxEg6HZOU
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WUyqCBB7k
「對對對！我們是讓牠逃走了沒錯，那妳看到怪物衝過去怎麼不試著去攔一下！」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqz7jAIQUz
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzv1CR5nRT
二郎怒吼著準備繼續嗆聲，哈吉爾從身旁衝到牆角的舉動卻打斷了他，「和梨！」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjXTL2eURA
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDXC1Uq4Tu
「外傷我等等幫妳處理，有沒有哪個部位特別痛的？妳能說話嗎？」哈吉爾眼珠子迅速掃視傷者從頭到腳每一個部位，聽來穩重的嗓音帶點不明顯的顫抖。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6MARLac0j
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtX85aQrok
當這畫面入了眼，二郎也沒什麼心情跟湯花吵下去了，更何況……240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b0rTECh2v
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBUqBySKiR
和梨被帶到牆角看似大廳內最安全的位置坐著休息，衣服也已經穿上了——湯花剛才忙著照顧她。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0HdGclip9
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEGfOXq7zv
就算本人個性再怎麼討人厭，這都是事實。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DmsXjUKKd
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVGmYPTKpI
和梨沒有開口回答哈吉爾，只是一臉鬱悶地搖搖頭，不過大家還是鬆了口氣。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbbPrhaqgx
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2j3P3Z7eG
「那怪物怎麼辦？要追嗎？」二郎問，「把和梨傷成這樣的怪物出去在大街上跑不太妙吧？」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPH42r6duB
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MUBLUM4UY
「這一帶很多冒險者會專程來泡湯放鬆，讓他們處理就好。」湯花直盯著被破壞殆盡的兩扇門與沿路血漬，不免大嘆氣，「我還需要你們留下來幫我善後。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4xS9xOGV4
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ac3PSInq5
「憑什麼啊！我們根本連溫泉都還沒泡到！」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3ZTbYqgGU
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0axPdnJ20
「我會退錢給你們，這樣可以了吧？」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCh3847G1R
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLudovSw2lW
這顯然已經不是錢不錢的問題了，湯花的態度就是會讓人不自覺咬牙，二郎根本就不想再待在這裡。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZB7Kq4CF5
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhYXbssKp8
「哈吉爾你留下來照顧和梨，我去追怪物。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp5xWgZPpa
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvbWg0lx8G
「二郎，抱歉，這次我也贊同不用追。」微皺的眉頭配上淺笑，哈吉爾的表情有些無奈，「那個怪物等級非常低，離開水面基本上活不了太久的。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnorytzxcb0
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16GfmiqqcN
「等級很低？」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOuIS4PjkD
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4frZ04MUA
這下換二郎皺眉了，疑惑目光頓時投射到滿是傷痕的和梨身上，只見她注意到視線後身體抖了一下。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CT1xEhRmG
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBJ0357WUL
臉上原本的憂鬱再加三分，最後她直接把臉埋進白色浴巾裡頭。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4Wk8vssPQ
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ88QeNxG0
「對啦！我就是弱到爆啦！這身傷全是我自己在逃跑的時候滑倒摔的啦！嗚……」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfW54WSreB
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAnD8dteKG
手臂、手肘、膝蓋、腳踝與腳趾，那些擦傷與瘀青確實是人跌倒時會受傷的部位，而且池區地滑，外加地面磚塊是有突起小顆粒的材質。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C5QxoWdpA
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfM3hz2QSn
其他三人頓時說不出任何話，場面一度尷尬。
