球殼城市的邊陲郊區，拖板運輸車在山道上行駛。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l1LUlXjBP
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fmpSnYBom
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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkoYYs8jt7
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUJNzw94aB
「你說反抗，是什麼意思？」齊波問道。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzpGS8RgWz
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALukAJs2LM
「等等，這邊人比較多，你們先蹲低。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaECQfSMH6f
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5E4UtP4vJ
塔格直視前方，讓運輸車減速開過一座高聳建築。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmJy9Kq4kh
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5ixNsBR8Y
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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu4Vt0OA2v
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p74vZcKj2
「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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKOxSLnsJD

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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJs7CJKpon
圓頂絕無意外，沿著鋪好的軌道行走，幸福就是如此簡單。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F07k7tNOh
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCRFdZ0zY5
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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5QA7PYNmk
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48tN6dDfFc
「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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbfJ2fZUvu
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIFlhEuwI9
「安樂死……嗎？」艾嘉‧斐南迪雙掌緊扣，擔心親族的現狀。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWnumF7gzH
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrG2Svu915
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？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZfB00c9LR
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SEIpHLoJu
「『無』托邦？」齊波隨口一說。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXqV1ESq51
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJmNVAwAWg
「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。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EN4fzmvkO
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOyUM0Ro7y
「沒錯，幫手，就是我！我覺得『無托邦』這個詞很貼、貼切⸺」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTsEhy0pR8
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1JDE73d5v
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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF3BDu77FG
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwnMieUPqT
「還有人跟你一夥？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0K6jRPg7T

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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rEb7PE9X9
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7aD4s3vOH
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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AMKm6dTcj
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMywAAbAnA
「各位好，可以叫我L2，或是溝通介面、管家、打雜的⸺」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkbmldFsA4
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKqrBRR48i
「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！」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7LchkjrQ9
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN8swfP8Um
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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHXEtSlIvg
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSMZntNuf0
「抱歉，沒東西招待，食物配給只有塔格的份⸺」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigo2nSxGRA
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mq5hhW7xA
「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？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyVtrZysFW
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgROXLftK7T
「這裡，是德爾芬的實驗場⸺用來實驗人類！」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5kBMGgJa2
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavSQl0Jz6b
「什麼？」烏霸抱胸站著，跟其他外來者一樣滿臉疑惑。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wD7UF2mMi
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2JtuafcWL
「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？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbK51uGlyx
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AfKXxiYp2
「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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIA6Q3sXTz
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUImPaLRRw8
「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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxU5AECa10
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqqGjVFjeq
「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。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzFBxDPjaC
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWKNIUyOfX
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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYRBbiNFdS
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu53MV1jaxA
「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……」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpzmRtKEq0
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF6n0Bo81o
「你的家人……去了回收廠嗎……」艾嘉看著塔格，聲音不像以往果斷。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaCmmhkWdH

「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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOaEhwzfvu
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL4MegSsc3
「難怪你要反抗，」烏霸嗤之以鼻，「這種鬼地方，一點自由都沒有。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZkWJEl0X6
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAFfcp3Opk
「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……」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPu7VyE6A2

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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDJbAbTfwg
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiviXVXXSOg
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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpTlJS0xJA
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgmWbi9bFX
「弟弟……還是妹妹？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEzLOjGlkh

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k0tBnDJbU
「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。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsgcWQEimP
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkw7mtfKmm
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。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqX7EH36nA
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKRCdSYHuY
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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTt38LpMEv

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIv1gH52GL
「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？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N5QKnmn0m
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpcQdxyKHx
「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。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQhInH3tOq
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuHpk9Z27c
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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCvIoKOx4B
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuezJyMCA7v
「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。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnZsTLnqmk
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iWy8jI763
「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？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCimBld2FAT
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fYmB9burU
「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。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOxofztDj6

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xQZtJDe3m
「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。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJtbAaT5Hh
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fRTijmH0I
「所以，我們要贏下比賽？」齊波問道。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBJYrFSgD8
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv54SIdTVaI
「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！」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CwlSSiVqe
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP6p1yKx5a
「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？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QoAyN25G8
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b9EKwPr3i
