球殼城市的邊陲郊區，拖板運輸車在山道上行駛。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmrL9Sfant
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzYCaM0Sh1
沿路沒有草木、沒有太陽，只有灰色土地、灰色管線。駕駛座上的青年臉龐，為這個灰階世界帶來少許血色。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQLrJH2ogi
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXtokWt2Wn
「你說反抗，是什麼意思？」齊波問道。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIkDXMgoFe
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBQ856IpmE
「等等，這邊人比較多，你們先蹲低。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlwJtu1qUY
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdLHvnYfE9
塔格直視前方，讓運輸車減速開過一座高聳建築。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUNYQSjio6
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT8dHPyY2i
雪白建材散發莊嚴，三根煙囪直通外壁。齊波瞄向窗外，看到人們手牽手走進設施，幸福地笑著。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW9DrSRQgx
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zZhy4qasC
「都是老人？」嘉娜莉瞇起眼睛觀察，突然，朵魅的影像出現在建築表面。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnbZ2zEBxt
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lX9P6sXwj
不用害怕，不用哀傷……我們知道這天會來，出生就知道這天會來。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEQXC4o10k
圓頂絕無意外，沿著鋪好的軌道行走，幸福就是如此簡單。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o2YCcSB2b
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmznZk6Tac
黑白相間長髮、灰色肌膚的虛擬女孩朗誦詩句，用平穩的語調安撫人群。要不是齊波知道她的真面目，早就被完美音頻觸動內心。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ979n2pQ1qJ
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErTQrj7HNA
「那是『回收廠』……也是我反抗的原因之一……」塔格沒有笑，不像其他圓頂同胞。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulykSzK0HR
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnTbccrsGM
「安樂死……嗎？」艾嘉‧斐南迪雙掌緊扣，擔心親族的現狀。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KvFET4GRs
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK6vCUo891
車輛遠離人群，嘉娜莉坐起身來，「那種景象，我在資料庫看過，『烏托邦』的反義詞……是什麼去了？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nRMt74EeM
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgarebkUy6Q
「『無』托邦？」齊波隨口一說。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpGbqeu0jX
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyphqJLSvq
「反烏托邦啦……」烏霸翹起腳，嘲笑少年的無知，「沒什麼好擔心，我們有機體，還有幫手。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuM6Mq1ekH
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf2jhHh5ha
「沒錯，幫手，就是我！我覺得『無托邦』這個詞很貼、貼切⸺」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbijWmtKTys
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQlZUTQvBj
機械語音傳出儀錶板，眾人還在疑惑時，車子已經駛近地下設施。鐵門緊緊關上，隔絕了外界的光線。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpli3pKyS25
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjO9g6KSpb
「還有人跟你一夥？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrjR3u5EV4
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJA3QcWpgE
引擎熄滅，齊波隨著塔格跳到地上。照明裝置啟動，舊坑道散亂著各種機械零件，還有複雜管線四處攀附。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t9ZP0E5tv
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAuNxBy3o3
喀噠喀噠的腳步聲漸漸接近，一台機器人走入光線。圓筒身形、四肢短小，兩顆電子瞳孔在頭部螢幕閃爍。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXepHkRFZAE
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWeQKPKj63
「各位好，可以叫我L2，或是溝通介面、管家、打雜的⸺」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnSd2KFC2B
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVPwKojc8K
「它幫我對抗朵魅很久了。」塔格彎下身子，拍了拍膝蓋高度的戰友，「我們的求救訊號真的有用，帶大家了解一下狀況吧！」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrj2Q692oa
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvuYkciWsE
宇宙暗號的來源揭曉。艾嘉帶著三位駕駛，跟隨嚮導走進倉庫。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshHZERCdbX
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2YmOsWDV4
「抱歉，沒東西招待，食物配給只有塔格的份⸺」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdxoqabIZ6
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjFn6DXXMG
「L2，圓頂到底是什麼地方？」齊波移開沉重零件，找到空間坐下，「為什麼這裡的人都怪怪的？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03PK5sfQTJ
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL193ifgOGe
「這裡，是德爾芬的實驗場⸺用來實驗人類！」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxf7tVrk92
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2XLHgVdKJ
「什麼？」烏霸抱胸站著，跟其他外來者一樣滿臉疑惑。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGpwrIxUMC
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXHylIZ1YU
「我稱之為：人類社會最大幸福度的統治實驗⸺你們也有看到，所有居民都遵循『占卜』過活吧？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VrhNHuH3h
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnl6ra0BuM
「對，好像沒有那個東西，就不會做事一樣。」嘉娜莉指向塔格左臂的螢幕裝置。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpMzJA0hHS
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B121qMNuP
「那是德爾芬複製人格『朵魅』所設計的系統……」L2低下頭，電子雙眼看來有點自責。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bSC46KIuC
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca2jtqHrld
「為每一位居民客製化，藉由基因資訊與數據學習，把從出生到死亡的『所有行程』運算出來⸺規劃出絕對不會有意外的、一帆風順的人生。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXPNi5qJ8k
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvoCRTaP63
無自主性、無色無味的世界。可說是偏激父母的嚴格控制，更完全地泯滅人性及反抗因子。眾人難以吸收，塔格率先打破沉默。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi91GTGiUCy
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVFH6Qyffb
「父母由電腦湊合，出生就被決定未來……我遇到L2之前，睡多久、吃多少、去哪裡，全都要看占卜決定，而且我還甘之如飴……」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspgeJPFHZc
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtVKbm65ju
「你的家人……去了回收廠嗎……」艾嘉看著塔格，聲音不像以往果斷。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIiB85O4sm
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C3nODa9xx
「對，我們什麼時候死亡，也都被決定了。」青年秀出左臂螢幕的時間，那就是他的餘命。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNA8TPp59k
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQXhk2LXRK
「難怪你要反抗，」烏霸嗤之以鼻，「這種鬼地方，一點自由都沒有。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q7uZMCO2j
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbxxTab39x
「自由？我不清楚那是什麼，」塔格轉身打開暗門，波紋的倒影映照在牆上，「我反抗的原因，都在這裡……」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXh7MszQH4
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdRqBBfpCA
長方體水缸佔據暗房，強化玻璃內部充滿透明液體，一名短髮孩童穿著緊身衣，在裡面載浮載沉。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjB22mc9IM
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpvL3W0OVc
塔格避開地上的氧氣管線，輕聲走向水缸，當他拿起兒童用的小型臂環時，那孩子還是睜開了眼睛。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCIZwk3IZM
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hqBIuPF87
「弟弟……還是妹妹？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzyHzjM1on
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA0hyBsqQs
齊波看著水中雙眸，感受到純樸的溫柔。塔格聳了個肩，對水缸比出向上的手勢。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTUZK1T1us
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUM5UNDupO
「噗哈……很高興認識大家，我是艾卡。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCNopfgJOi
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tMT0DsQi5
孩童浮出水面，露出興奮笑容，「對不起，我一天只能離開一小時，明天再跟大家握手。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr1NuRL6eS
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUMlUQoJet
「保持體力，很快就要行動了。」塔格伸出手，隔著玻璃感受親人體溫。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanKanlcgsq
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWIpXURlak
「這位孩子也是實驗產物，基因缺陷，造成內臟骨質脆弱，無法在重力環境生存⸺原本在十年前就要去回收廠了。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ1AgS7DMY
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06p0olR8kb
房門關上，L2補充說明，「但是，溫柔的塔格找到我，我找到方法駭入系統，隱藏他們的資料，也做了一些治療裝置……盡量拖延時間。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5KJHbHngv
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXo5mGs4Dp
圓頂青年拿起兒童臂環，上面顯示「10085分鐘」。一個禮拜之後，艾卡的生命就會終止。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG2gUjFCCv
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR93FM0BbH
「宇宙的無重力空間是最後希望，我需要你們的幫助，你們是從宇宙來的，沒錯吧？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksomN36Qnx
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8tQsdp5xS
「沒錯……」齊波欲言又止。思考行動的後果，是他學到的教訓，「艦長……您覺得呢？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdefuAPAWew
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl7IbJ1m6L
「先不說如何讓艾卡留在宇宙……我們剩下這些人，要怎麼奪回船艦？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CxRusCePu
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAA05P2wat
「哈！我們等這麼久了，當然有擬定作戰⸺」L2仰起頭部，在天花板上照出圓頂地圖，「交通路線塔格很熟，問題是護衛機甲⸺它們由朵魅控制，必須進入核心主機才能干預。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdAQzfwgRa
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhU6a9ewbR
地圖顯示，圓頂外殼中心點有一座倒掛的建築物，俯瞰著整座城市。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DoEWRtPsx
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwLshjxrOe
「核心就在那裡，要先搶回太空船才能上去，」塔格接著說，「改寫系統，關閉無人機，我們就可以安全到宇宙。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j9O8PAkZj
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ONG28mVir
「所以要靠兩架機體一路打過去？」烏霸雙手放在後腦勺，「不能從這裡直接修改系統？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeUgC0EE9Q
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB3OBGlh4Y
「入侵失敗會引起注意……這次劫車就夠驚險了。」塔格起身拿了幾張紙，交給努那駕駛員。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JPmbATcUD
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRTMjnX4O9
「這是……飛輪球賽？」齊波看著活力十足的廣告傳單說：「真不像這裡的風格。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MOZnzZYr2
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC5TYHb228
「沒錯！五天後，就是一年一度的競技典禮，這裡唯一一個『有變數』的事件！」L2晃動金屬爪子，做出跑步姿勢。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUj0RbsCcn
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktqabCM6Kt
「朵魅發現，人類如果沒有接觸『未知現象』，腦細胞活力會一代代減少……這場競賽，占卜系統不會介入，什麼事都有可能發生，所以，朵魅會消耗很多精力來預防重大事故。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGz6Cp31Pz
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACiUGK2yEM
「所以，我們要贏下比賽？」齊波問道。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaiSpMCpp3
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcdzIhKjCG
「不用贏，」嘉娜莉扶著下巴推理，「只要轉移注意力，把衛兵都引開領航者號！」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg6nY4Vq7l
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEiUSwsO6F
「正確，我會修改資料讓你們加入熱身賽，超出朵魅預期地搗亂吧⸺有兩個名額，要登錄誰呢？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLo6nzSvw3
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG4S8UQg9j
「哼，聽起來很有趣，卡涅特‧烏霸，駕駛燃魂參賽。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKPJug6Wlc

「我駕駛納蘭白鯨，名子是烈南德‧齊波尼亞。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnWfph1LRm

「烈南德，嗯……」機器人眼睛閃爍，似乎想起什麼，280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9qjlcg8Bu
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOFFkRUOVB
「我跟夸曼尼負責救出組員，」艾嘉恢復了一些信心，「L2，進入系統之後，能幫我找到特定居住者嗎？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06OkvaFz2m
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9AnhB8Dzn
「當然⸺所有基因資料都在那邊。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PEY8EVlRe
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrTnmIMHk0
「好。」女艦長把頭髮往後撥，輕拍雙頰打起精神，「五天後奪回領航者號，解放圓頂同胞，然後，上宇宙面對D。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Vy03FbB2w
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT0N748mOi
「把手疊在我的上面，這是古代的激勵方法！」嘉娜莉向團隊成員伸出右手，「我們做得到！」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz3GtaaWSX
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jxf4CHwOS
「我白天要照常工作，艾卡就拜託各位。」塔格不明白手勢含意，高揚的心跳還是蓋過遲疑。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpyTlikyTS
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubJP6pbyAz
「這次絕對不會輸了。」烏霸半推半就地配合。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgeftKrYNI
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN14O8ZkiH
「艦長？」齊波邀請領導者，希望能盡釋前嫌。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCefkvms4bk
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbwo2xyJdV
細秀卻結實的掌心疊上少年手背，艾嘉肯定地微笑。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nUP7yhlcT

五隻手與一根金屬爪子，讓「無」托邦的角落滲入各種色彩。
