首先是一片混沌。230Please respect copyright.PENANAVgZTWdhAQp
230Please respect copyright.PENANABm9NZSlTCn
一切都像是闔上眼皮般變得如此黑暗。230Please respect copyright.PENANAjNrwQPE37y
230Please respect copyright.PENANApw3kvmD1v8
人類的眼睛在閉上時,視野週邊仍能感知到光線變化,連帶大腦處理視覺訊息,所以會看到一些像是閃電、煙火等各種絢爛的色彩游移在幽暗之中。230Please respect copyright.PENANASjPRfY5GsH
——而現在,那些顏色並沒有就此消逝,反而更肆無忌憚地渲染一切:它們似有形然則無形、似分裂又像是一體、循經規律卻漫無章法——矛盾,但又相輔相成。230Please respect copyright.PENANAXXpw6BjFJ1
它們形成的圖像本質上毫無意義,但在大腦在刺激下卻逼迫做出賦予意義的反應——如同本是飄忽不定的雲朵,仰頭望天的人決定了形狀。230Please respect copyright.PENANA0OKA9cYO4V
貪婪、忿怒、憎恨、哀歎、恐懼。230Please respect copyright.PENANAarimuMFJ6U
230Please respect copyright.PENANAy0yOUupzti
——也許是一位綁有辮子的男人在稻田中央自刎。230Please respect copyright.PENANADmvRcU9wlg
——也許是一名穿著卡其色軍裝的士兵持刀斬殺俘虜。230Please respect copyright.PENANAx8Njp6odGR
——也許是一名與自己同樣有著紅色瞳孔的女性,懷中緊緊抱著嬰孩一齊投河自盡。230Please respect copyright.PENANAGsEddWh0Xc
230Please respect copyright.PENANA0dDs2aYi0h
瞬息之間,它們互相交織成各式各樣的死亡意象。230Please respect copyright.PENANAJa6ANLcbSS
對少年來說,就算已閉上眼睛,腦海仍是不間斷地重複殘忍的輪迴。這些情感被攪成像是泥漿一般的稠密流體,並且正一股腦地灌入耳中,深刻地浸染至腦髓之底,這污穢無法被抹消——潰/痛/寒/癢/苦/熱/重——生不如死的反應正在吞噬自身的存在。230Please respect copyright.PENANA1uDM1Ov8rA
230Please respect copyright.PENANABgl0IbxmK9
王羽明睜開雙眼,鮮紅的瞳孔無法控制、兀自震顫不已。230Please respect copyright.PENANAgclbQXl4A1
230Please respect copyright.PENANAjmxrCkwpnM
「這裡是……哪裡?」230Please respect copyright.PENANAWwyqrLrJ2g
自己倒在夜幕之下,渾圓的明月當空,灰暗的地表上僅有毫無生機的雜草苟留。恐怕寶藏巖內的所有人都被被那名少年拉入“靈界”了。230Please respect copyright.PENANAm5A272J09M
230Please respect copyright.PENANAv3mVuYjnfi
「……到底怎……嘎、啊啊啊……」少年欲起身,卻感到肌肉、骨骼如巨石般沉重,全身疲軟無力。230Please respect copyright.PENANAPvrS8M3VBJ
230Please respect copyright.PENANAONL67OhOPS
「大家靠在一起!敵人不知道會從哪裡出現!」230Please respect copyright.PENANAOcpO9FE4fA
婁走弼、施行輔、趙曇勝、韓曉諭四人會合接濟,傷員也在走弼的治療下恢復。可眼下他們同樣理不清狀況。230Please respect copyright.PENANAiMIHe0B0yx
無以言表的壓迫感籠罩在這全然陌生的環境,眾人在極限的狀態下繃緊神經,一見有人前來,便準備應戰。230Please respect copyright.PENANAM1mzcgwu8u
230Please respect copyright.PENANAkw8DHqcNiN
「喂!魔鳥使!」來者是一名身著白衣的女性——正是奧潔莉亞。230Please respect copyright.PENANAjIn7Z7ABMD
「哼哼,樣子真難看吶。」230Please respect copyright.PENANAhzTM1Mbb2s
只是此時的她好似也沒資格說人家,遍身皆是泥濘,與她作為“天鵝”的姿態相悖,不過她給人的氣勢,仍藏不了一身傲骨。230Please respect copyright.PENANAMeZ23AxhwJ
230Please respect copyright.PENANAha0gNFyw9N
「紅色眼睛……你是魔鳥嗎?」婁、施兩人感知到女人身上蘊含的水鬼妖氣,站在前方護著癱倒的羽明。230Please respect copyright.PENANAOPmSlmZ10Q
230Please respect copyright.PENANAUCRJYV6gPd
「嗯。無論如何,我不可能和你們人類站在同一邊。」奧潔莉亞往周遭一指:「……只不過,現在情況有變,先停戰吧。」230Please respect copyright.PENANAhjeyDjPaAV
沒有比奧潔莉亞更執著於“美”的魔鳥——用身體細心豢養的水鬼竟莫名其妙地被殺害,而有了“缺陷”,這筆帳她得要討回來。230Please respect copyright.PENANA1UMSEwsE39
230Please respect copyright.PENANA0LHw9EKnP6
「別相信她,剛才她還想殺了我們!」曇勝氣不過,仍指控她方才的死亡芭蕾差點把自己切成兩半。230Please respect copyright.PENANAT8KOSnuNw6
230Please respect copyright.PENANAxCOnipHfOa
「不,先合作怎麼逃離這裡再說……」施行輔瞄向她:「不然剛才你早就動手了,對吧?」230Please respect copyright.PENANAUygExXfoO9
230Please respect copyright.PENANAmovoDUROtS
魔鳥之女只用輕蔑的微笑回應。230Please respect copyright.PENANAd4Kay2BaO0
230Please respect copyright.PENANAbaJSTgekC4
「這裡是哪裡?」婁走弼戒備地問道。230Please respect copyright.PENANAHzJOyxRGyC
230Please respect copyright.PENANAXkoLoA4TpW
「“我們”的家鄉——」奧潔莉亞深吸一口氣、再徐徐吐出,平靜道出:「Qbhniq(喀拔赫尼克)。」230Please respect copyright.PENANAQYkySN389F
230Please respect copyright.PENANAtJcYNCd5xe
「!」230Please respect copyright.PENANATU7oyWiItX
230Please respect copyright.PENANA5no7X2NjTW
「照你們漢人沿用大和人的稱呼,又叫做“禍伏大社”。」230Please respect copyright.PENANAGtw48y39ey
230Please respect copyright.PENANAP4iqj1wtw6
「那麼,是誰的“靈界”?」曉諭問。230Please respect copyright.PENANA2qOuKZFerU
230Please respect copyright.PENANA7WgcGQ5140
奧潔莉亞只是挑眉、頭示意點向倒在後方的魔鳥使。230Please respect copyright.PENANA3duhL42c83
靈界作為腦內思想的模型,這一神秘深邃的丘陵地帶是屬於“王羽明”的靈界。而現在魔鳥使被魔鳥的支配之詛咒受累,無法行動。230Please respect copyright.PENANAc8lissNBWW
230Please respect copyright.PENANAO6Kpecect1
「魔鳥使,你有在聽嗎?算了,趁現在我先說:」奧潔莉亞眼神一冷,宣示道:「等這件事結束後,我會殺了紀夜臣。」230Please respect copyright.PENANAyZDUk6Rf3o
230Please respect copyright.PENANA0lA56kYAuw
「說、說什麼鬼話……院長……在那之前,我會先收拾你……」230Please respect copyright.PENANAgQbyg6aHBb
230Please respect copyright.PENANAhejoPopOmW
奧潔莉亞默然不語。230Please respect copyright.PENANAiJowOyrMMw
她想起之前在隧道與方廣會、協會交鋒之際,於孔雀發動能力的話語中,察覺到某種“異樣”。連聖翎也沒有注意到那“異樣”——不,應該說,只把人類當成工具的聖翎無法清楚認識到這點;至於將身體容納給其他靈魂【水鬼】的她,相當明瞭那時心中倍增的不協調感。230Please respect copyright.PENANAC3ICzFVdMs
接著,懷疑逐漸放大,所以才做出此般結論。230Please respect copyright.PENANALuOm7T7P0U
「反正,我知道我真正想要的是什麼。到時候我們就互相殘殺吧。」奧潔莉亞默念在她體內的另外三個靈魂的名字——湯魅的犧牲,使她覓得自己步上的道路,而不會受制於那一時的“一見鍾情”。230Please respect copyright.PENANAf4vH12BhDo
230Please respect copyright.PENANAAYh1DEJ7UJ
「……同樣的話原封不動地還給……你。嘎……!」少年狼狽不堪,依舊受咒縛所困。230Please respect copyright.PENANAKlxYHWRvGL
像是反映少年身上的痛楚,不遠處的一座密林傳出群鳥啼鳴。230Please respect copyright.PENANAPGZs8pBob0
230Please respect copyright.PENANA1HmxLCZp00
230Please respect copyright.PENANAVMKlHOeXiv
鳥為何啼叫?230Please respect copyright.PENANABplzwiaM8P
人類只能用人類的身份分析鳥類的發出的鳴叫聲,從曲調的音節、音符來判斷對象的行為與含義——230Please respect copyright.PENANAwGPOTtdiVM
『啾——咿——啅啅啅啅啅啅啅啅啅——』230Please respect copyright.PENANAnJcGXtJa4P
一隻、兩隻、黑壓壓一片鳥群展翅劃過另一邊。於密林深處的啼鳴,任誰聽見都感到悲切與恐慌。230Please respect copyright.PENANA56SHcDxmYV
230Please respect copyright.PENANAJSoUKS4rV7
孔聖翎從林中走出,身披以禍伏鳥之羽所織成的披風,眼神銳利如刃、如王者般威風凜凜地踏入戰場。230Please respect copyright.PENANAbB4qRurkwx
——“羽衣”的技術是向萊納特習得的鍊金術,而在聖翎手上又愈發瑰麗:紋樣美艷多變,猶如孔雀開屏。230Please respect copyright.PENANAtI7weHI5Bs
230Please respect copyright.PENANA1xQdLudOcT
其他人不敢鬆懈、而魔鳥使少年死死瞪著他。230Please respect copyright.PENANA75TXo9GeU7
230Please respect copyright.PENANAsy6PQqzCHF
「看到了嗎,王羽明?你還真以為只是“忘記收回魔鳥”嗎?」聖翎手指天上:「……“那個”才是我等魔鳥叛逃的原因。」230Please respect copyright.PENANAcQNx5RJAwX
天上那輪被誤以為是“月亮”的東西。230Please respect copyright.PENANAWlJi0RnSCr
眼看是攀掛於靈界半空中、散發微光的巨型球體——但仔細觀察,上有密密麻麻地以篆書刻成的詭異符文,像是在封印著什麼——至少不難看出是方術產物。230Please respect copyright.PENANAWlYBXso09A
230Please respect copyright.PENANADPRQmDC0na
「呃啊啊啊啊啊……」羽明抱頭哀嚎,好像腦袋深處遭到異物入侵一般。在那個神秘陣法覆蓋的範圍之下,所有的記憶、想法全都像一根根長針般透徹、刺入自己的神經髓鞘。230Please respect copyright.PENANACTPd16Nz8u
230Please respect copyright.PENANAyuDwraKr4Y
「痛苦嗎?那就是你和那名道士廝混的下場。連帶我們喪失了真正的記憶,也就無法取回力量——朕決定要把這裡的所有魔鳥帶離已不適合我們待著的靈界。」聖翎又道:「一切就在今天結束——」230Please respect copyright.PENANAqJwprpdAWs
230Please respect copyright.PENANAoCn9Ew6rBO
「孔聖翎!別無視我!」奧潔莉亞快步衝刺,腿甩出數道水之刀刃。230Please respect copyright.PENANAXwy6j4e8rQ
230Please respect copyright.PENANAHkw27LSnPJ
「皇帝企鵝。」聖翎一開口,周身冒出大量寒氣——一併將她和妖之水刀冰凍住——僅能控制“流體”的奧潔莉亞受制,不甘咬牙。230Please respect copyright.PENANAODh2nI3a3O
230Please respect copyright.PENANAYl9yedZyHZ
而走弼亦行動,從腰間掏出手槍,擊出數發子彈。230Please respect copyright.PENANASDi17iAvC9
230Please respect copyright.PENANAEBkQ0GJLYA
「無聊。你,去自殺。」聖翎給出命令。230Please respect copyright.PENANATasNvyqf81
230Please respect copyright.PENANAszRMPJS5Cs
護衛這才發現,槍,是朝著自己的太陽穴擊發的——早已,被孔雀支配——人在響聲中倒下。230Please respect copyright.PENANAPX9eTe5s1p
倒下之際,還被聖翎使用燕型魔鳥切得四分五裂。230Please respect copyright.PENANAq8PB0710Gu
230Please respect copyright.PENANAvQJkGOn7sR
「才不會讓你……」行輔見狀,雙手煉化出骨製長刀,忿怒地奔向聖翎,向其斬去。230Please respect copyright.PENANANVkX2nxlEl
【支配】的力量對死物無效,身為蔭屍的行輔理應是其能力的規則漏洞,可聖翎正眼都不看,直接派一隻伯勞鳥打進他的身體——棘刺直接從他身體內部四面八方長出、將他串掛在地。230Please respect copyright.PENANAx9u0Os9k9f
230Please respect copyright.PENANA7Aw0G9Zdno
曉諭聚炁吐出鬼之種子,聖翎喚出鵜鶘吞下攻擊,鳥喙下的喉囊鼓脹,詛咒旋即返還其身,她口中長出藤蔓、眼睛流出紅汁,跪倒在地。230Please respect copyright.PENANAH6F6dbsgpA
230Please respect copyright.PENANA8Jg9wJYNQ1
「喝!離明正……」曇勝正要唸出咒文。230Please respect copyright.PENANAz2DtWQFxIx
「你咬到舌頭。」在聖翎命令下,趙道士苦悶地哀了一聲後,旋即被一拳打倒在地。230Please respect copyright.PENANA9NgGI9THNE
230Please respect copyright.PENANAkeOVRgQJIK
「可惡!」行輔大喊,用骨刃奮力斷開荊棘、再次衝向目標。聖翎迅速抽出自己的羽之刀將其斬成三塊,同時叫出皇帝企鵝吹出寒氣,使他全身結成冰——收刀,一記踢擊——蔭屍直接碎成塵埃般的細碎冰晶。230Please respect copyright.PENANAo6YyYDzouy
一對多,完全壓制——這就是最強的禍伏鳥。230Please respect copyright.PENANAGB5nDK4u7b
孔聖翎步步進逼。230Please respect copyright.PENANA2KHMAoRez5
