等我醒來時，還趴在桌子上，桌前放著舊時代的油燈，早已經不知道在什麼時候熄滅了，風吹的窗戶吱嘎作響，可能再用力一吹就要整片飛走了，我看了錶上時間———是凌晨四點，鬣狗站在窗邊，他盯著我然後點點頭50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttf8hx8vjC

「一個夜行者跟一個日行者最佳的行動時間點也許只有這一刻，但再過幾個鐘頭可能就要換我累了。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWxzJfCSmz
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4QBxmh52Q
「我知道，這也許是好事，我們可以互相警戒。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoncOiC2MB
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovvmOeblWk
我穿上裝甲，配附外掛充電器、確認子彈跟武器等等……等準備好了之後，我拍了拍鬣狗的肩膀50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2As7vi6GHJ
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhdOcHlhYr
「我好了，接下來呢？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6nH7EPPRA
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6v5YQr9kU
「我們直接問問櫃檯的人吧，也許他知道些關於『遊俠』的事情。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOafDo8F3K
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a0Kt4T8yV
下了樓，樓梯的吱嘎聲讓櫃檯打盹的老頭緩緩轉頭往我們這邊看過來50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYOEQ5jvD9
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2hVSbHXYF
「咳咳…有需要幫忙的嗎？……」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvTSkxsOqQ
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0oE3n6JJy
「老先生，你有聽過『遊俠』這號人物嗎？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmJuqGy2VP
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrOYmDCBXi
「啊！咳咳……你們是…朝聖者嗎？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40LMPgobJ1
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemrUjebqfC
老頭打量著我們的服裝，顯得有點訝異50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfZgjaXoET
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bYFvR7g78
「沒錯，我們在找尋正確通往『稀望教堂』的捷徑，你知道些什麼嗎？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvi8uP0DIH
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp7drO2smQ
「咳咳…『朝聖之路狂沙漫漫、黃衣之王虎視眈眈』捷徑是有…..但並不會更輕鬆……咳咳…相反的，有更多人犧牲在捷徑的路上…前陣子，也有一夥四人小隊前往朝聖，我想……他們不會再回來了……」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdFCWebinU
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV9v0nNXN4
「他們…死了？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiS5Aq7LhE
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmeQQQ4WwY
我問道，同時把目光投向老者顫抖的雙手50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWP64EHsab
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUGPXH9AeT
「我不知道……但如果他們真的通過了試煉而變得強大…咳咳…又怎麼會回來看著這滿目瘡痍呢？沒有理由……畢竟這裡已經沒救了。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXHYIQJrfJ
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZEnEJP0OY
老人嘆了口氣，他垂下頭，乾的發白的嘴唇抖動了一下50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dSqlxs9aC
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXSGTNDTAk
「你願意告訴我們從哪走嗎？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH184MIwA9M
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4KxTXCLRl
鬣狗希望能有更詳細的資訊50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbaUbao8lA
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kKUarJopB
「過了我們城牆靠北的管制點…咳咳…那個墓碑形狀的護城大橋，如果你們被擋下來了⋯⋯告訴他們你是黃衣之王的信徒……咳咳……來吧，手伸出來。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1RF1XEgpA
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqXx82oIA5
老人接過鬣狗的手，突然從腰間抽出一把小刀插入他的手掌然後快速的亂劃一通50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYVpHE7UgA
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg0hCdiOzZ
「啊！幹！」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4ZBaNlULv
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ870tuhPqx
「你瘋了嗎？！給我住手！」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MEwSTQV2x
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykdCMiYOds
我拿著槍抵住了老頭的腦袋，而鬣狗則痛苦的壓住自己的傷口，鮮血不斷從指縫中滴下來50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWuREYoFhO
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RRb3j5e0L
「嘿！要過那道關卡……咳咳…你必須要有印記，我在幫助你們……否則你們是不會被放行的。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwrTMXp9R2
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzkG4OrrvX
「你再輕舉妄動我就要開槍了！」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiwcZ1REtv
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkejkFyjway
老頭依然慢條斯理的站起身，正對著我們展開雙臂50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZApPOruJmB
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvXxIXfCWZ
「咳咳……如果是真的朝聖者，他必定願意承擔此等痛楚…咳咳咳… 很簡單，你真的有心要尋找教堂嗎？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUEpCXd4ax
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwakIHgCc2W
「我要可是……」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvWwPrMpuE
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQxrbSW1sO
「賽博，聽他的……」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jop4IErQz
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsirf31ED0f
鬣狗打開他的手掌，裡頭確實有類似符號的傷口，綻開的傷痕仍在滲血，這畫面怵目心驚50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnJNohFFoa
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGucqj8cf4
「伸手吧，我只是想幫你們…咳咳…」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9HEG5SvqU
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPqDQgOITE
「……………」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVeSY6I7Zk
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihulRL2KNs
我看見老人用比剛才還用力的力道刺入我的掌心，輕微像是電擊一般的觸感後，卻只有劃開一道毫無感覺的皮層，裡頭的也不是血，而是銀質的液體緩緩流出，可以看到那傷口正在迅速的癒合50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkgaMHgZf5
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWoDhLILbW
「你…咳咳…我見過你…？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfpve7z9XR
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDJF6YMhbB
老人瞇著眼看著我50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMJfscAxiy
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo3wGEJEFX
「我也不知道。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5dWVfKJbe
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbrV41MArz
鬣狗靜靜的看著這一切，片刻後確定我的傷口形成印記後才開口50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn6OYRG7Bw
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAbEwcmDe4
「我的手現在沒辦法開車，而且我覺得有點想睡覺了，你幫我個忙，讓我在車子裡待一會。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2XDnZn6kR
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL2QLZh4aq
我點點頭，主副駕切換，我看著遠方高聳浮誇的城牆以及那座醒目高聳的墓碑狀橋樑，它就這樣豎立著像是某個巨人的墳墓，沒錯，我得直直往那裡看過去50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcNOgmlGPo
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CxSoggV7q
「鬣狗，坐穩了，我不是個好駕駛唷！」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pQLFmQHwv
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55xUPgjm3P
我扣上安全帶，看著所剩不多的電量說道50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qnYj01DwF
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7ytw5bSla
「自由發揮…我先睡了。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMpJTGU8xp
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbtmKj1xoB
他不久後便沈沈睡去，我則看著刺眼的陽光照射進滿是沙塵的玻璃窗上，任憑那光亮反射在我的身上，黃色、金色、象牙色，一切都在黃沙與金光的映照下顯得荒涼、熾熱50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLY85nEabM
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcGWDWm9Z3
「朝聖之路狂沙漫漫，黃衣之王虎視眈眈…」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRA02urUPZ
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5trPAfhHjQ
我念念有詞，看著這惡劣而陌生的環境，內心也變得不踏實起來，我有種感覺，自己曾經就在這條路上行駛過，尤其經過每個斷掉的巨型雕像、或者風蝕得厲害的路標時，那種既視感格外強烈
「鬣狗，你這麼拼命的找尋真相，真的只是因為老闆交代這麼簡單嗎？」
我喃喃道，既使我知道熟睡的他根本不會回應我，行駛過的痕跡揚起陣陣風沙，在那未知的領域必定有著我們不得而知的凶險存在
