球殼城市的邊陲郊區，拖板運輸車在山道上行駛。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj68CA8Y9Z
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9zwH2hE0O
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdTcD9HtD2
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOMyVpFIPf
「你說反抗，是什麼意思？」齊波問道。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXlO2dDbTf
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXJZEzGV6I
「等等，這邊人比較多，你們先蹲低。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmQ0LgmbBo
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8w0ABjNFg
塔格直視前方，讓運輸車減速開過一座高聳建築。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5suqO6gAg
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveQfqHf7BF
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDbuLAtFPX
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmdl9pi48L
「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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrE6ir7XkM
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6AlqME8dL
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo7BFcZ3O9
圓頂絕無意外，沿著鋪好的軌道行走，幸福就是如此簡單。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O5CtEPRjG
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXDhuBUMLy
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreastVcz12
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡial2cCYDyf
「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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnh0XGa3nd
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNErBSUsToH
「安樂死……嗎？」艾嘉‧斐南迪雙掌緊扣，擔心親族的現狀。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBbmxC4tW6
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPFQBer7ab
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？」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkrYJZzHvp
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQyZcgvPDh
「『無』托邦？」齊波隨口一說。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH0pf9MoFb
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpCHqmvWsd
「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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv8sagopz1
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc4TytrDhK
「沒錯，幫手，就是我！我覺得『無托邦』這個詞很貼、貼切⸺」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdFOrrLucn
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O5BjvfMkf
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAGqg8Wx07
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt9zEQ1f1k
「還有人跟你一夥？」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0Sx2Bu4mF
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktj73cuI9e
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtdBKBBC5C
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83qCJwYdhV
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4IWIjVx8v
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UDA0b3vNn
「各位好，可以叫我L2，或是溝通介面、管家、打雜的⸺」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufNRP1srwi
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y4kWSZE2S
「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！」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2CZ4BqEMZ
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ5UVZ47oO
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0pe7PR8NL
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0fm4tvQ97
「抱歉，沒東西招待，食物配給只有塔格的份⸺」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgL4RO0AzB
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFSK187S9K
「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？」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsrlGXYz4P
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXieEVLpg4
「這裡，是德爾芬的實驗場⸺用來實驗人類！」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8MwOPycwj
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDy6U2VsUH
「什麼？」烏霸抱胸站著，跟其他外來者一樣滿臉疑惑。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESkt7YvZCD
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVWPdiVl2m
「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？」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8kZon4wWf
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkrgcXf0FL
「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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PJbsInOon
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34jaaaU14v
「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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKGBIpV7GW
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf4qUTeljk
「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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9srdqTRXt
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEcpiDwKYv
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH53PVSwgPH
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZRJEyYbwJ
「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……」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAxb3nPDQL
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WfYfqvKZQ
「你的家人……去了回收廠嗎……」艾嘉看著塔格，聲音不像以往果斷。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsyMt8KfyC
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvZzUyuuvq
「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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8cE8XuigT
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGREIkm2vUu
「難怪你要反抗，」烏霸嗤之以鼻，「這種鬼地方，一點自由都沒有。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxNIhjVDzm
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UADdYQXV8
「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……」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTADl3DeEfT
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXt2UPnvM3
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0k5skxVlU
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2xKxK4ol9
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bPLyiWUg4
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjB4YvLHLw
「弟弟……還是妹妹？」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtLclkOXp4
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ENPYXwhl7
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOHO9ZoK0r
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26viN4TaVJ
「噗哈……很高興認識大家，我是艾卡。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoLygAIk3K
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdGkXzofHe
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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd9KDwFSW2
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTibIsYZ3t
「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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PwlQkPW2G
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrI1JKcuRq
「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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvZEkePBHC
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio5dOXXdwI
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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN1mLd5Wr0
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQs57vCCd0
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyHOSw9nQb
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoALcasLsFu
「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？」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBQSzTKnH6
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6ERrz3jdg
「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？」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA9NEeI7bS
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh8ES1ySdJ
「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？」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPysJuJegJh
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORq1522HMJ
「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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF0CZakZTA
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmSoi5bdZh
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFG9wJzhA3
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TdKXVUyuX
「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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLby3yolifo
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oJACw1MlG
「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？」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvkL9doqCD
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5tQGRaejN
「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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWq2rmkaUH
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CDzFttCZC
「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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPSQpiGK82
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnOcL2FReA
「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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BKgQiTtfb
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw1HxKalRv
「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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShxjKOOhH8
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0AjJgmxsH
「所以，我們要贏下比賽？」齊波問道。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxi8t7n40B
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU543MRAWio
「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！」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuzKDjO3kv
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbTqAuCZ8m
「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？」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseUSGDtKhv
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o7V0F70TA
「哼，聽起來很有趣，卡涅特‧烏霸，駕駛燃魂參賽。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLh68C0UKa
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFvPYCXkdE
「我駕駛納蘭白鯨，名子是烈南德‧齊波尼亞。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFnYCzsD2E
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cLymjytGk
「烈南德，嗯……」機器人眼睛閃爍，似乎想起什麼，308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjlX6lbOdS
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBE8oNKzws
「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？」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3bQlvxg5V
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fClNRPllc
「當然⸺所有基因資料都在那邊。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDLUtlbpkg
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbxFNnQVva
「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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pXde6dnsR
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9pkcHo7Hc
「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！」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLNEAwcLZ5
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtcogmA8sj
「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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiR0aPtDb7
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqwC3sEBJ4
「這次絕對不會輸了。」烏霸半推半就地配合。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOHnFJxco6
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkIS9hv1k8
「艦長？」齊波邀請領導者，希望能盡釋前嫌。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5vUMmWMGh
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHnCNQcfEi
細秀卻結實的掌心疊上少年手背，艾嘉肯定地微笑。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKO9kjxPWt

「我們做得到。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvK5XKUqZp

五隻手與一根金屬爪子，讓「無」托邦的角落滲入各種色彩。
