對流風在設施頂層颼颼吹動，砂石步道旁是循環水路潺潺。椿感到一股涼意，兩手抱肩拉著襟口。走在前面哼歌的墨鏡男子穿得暖呼呼，一點都不解風情。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnFGqayRHZ

除了邀約時的輕浮態度之外，修的身上感覺不出任何邪念。也許，他跟女殺手之前面對的黑幫老爺一樣人面獸心，也有可能只是一個單純傻瓜。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9JmgB1LYo

只剩一邊引擎的禮車停在側面凹陷的小艇隔壁。為避免被害人起疑心，女殺手趕緊找話題聊，「剛才在酒館那場賭博，也是你的線路技巧嗎？手槍裡面有感應晶片……類似這種……」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8quxR8SwNW
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvhlDInLun
「嗯？沒有啊，真的是純運氣⸺好！就選這台，幫我把風。」修蹲在老舊貨艇旁邊，把破解器黏到門上，不忘碎念。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKopQxrrn6

「我也想裝些晶片啊……但每次動改造手術都會失敗⸺醫師生病、刀子壞掉，診所還會被打劫……所以，如妳所見，我只能用小工具入侵低階系統……無人火車或是港口那些企業級伺服器就沒辦法了，它們主機在太空站被商會把持，能力高強的『術士』也不一定能進入。」457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs4CQWdwuE

怪客在震耳欲聾的振翅聲中自言自語，讓形成黑霧的昆蟲群體恣意覓食。就算有人目睹這個光景，也無法辨識那些黃黑相間的生物。因為就連地球都找不到它們蹤跡，更別說是宇宙邊境。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOdagnmsNT

昂天皇帝的石雕塑像平舉雙臂、高高在上地看著簡樸中殿。烏霸皺著眉，感覺不到任何神性。雪星努那的老家裡面，那個用樹枝搭成的圖騰還更能讓他肅然起敬。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIAVsKsdq5

經過附近的訊號絕大多數都來自太空站。烏霸更加確信，這就是他要找的東西。封存已久的祕密重見天日⸺不只有亞克，木星圈艦隊戰時，札廣也通報米勒父親的情報給新月軍；土星戰役時，他又再次出賣OBU；直到最近，甚至還想私下跟帝國做生意。457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi6aKhbHa6
