紀夜臣像一隻不理睬人的黑貓,反應慢了好幾拍,注意力依舊放在文件上。習慣性地用手扶了扶鏡框,才慢條斯理地說:9Please respect copyright.PENANAsEwrdsdhAb
「……怎麼今天叫我所長?」9Please respect copyright.PENANAUKK1tP5Vhj
9Please respect copyright.PENANAYSB57KjKZS
羽明笑盈盈地看著眼前的愛人,才正要向親愛的所長提醒——不過對方已察覺有客人來到,停下手邊工作,望見丁小姐旋即睜大了眼,表情複雜:有點落寞,仍難掩高興。9Please respect copyright.PENANA5gRB9MrCev
9Please respect copyright.PENANAa27HVwdLuf
「筱寧?歡迎你!」他脫下眼鏡,站起身,微微地鞠躬行禮:「我是這裡的所長,叫紀夜臣。」9Please respect copyright.PENANAQbPQRrNnuY
9Please respect copyright.PENANAm76opXToo6
他知道我的名字?丁筱寧曾看過小飛俠給的資料,模糊的印象在腦海中漸漸明晰起來,他似乎和王羽明一樣,也是個麻煩角色。9Please respect copyright.PENANAjNUFyATIGG
9Please respect copyright.PENANAG94LZb34xm
「請坐,我去泡茶。」所長便匆匆趕到附設的廚房準備,至於羽明就像歸巢的飛鳥般(本來就是)、口說著“我也來”地隨後跟去。9Please respect copyright.PENANAOdyVaFwXMB
9Please respect copyright.PENANAqknwdwywTa
剛結束一段感情,這太過明顯的曬恩愛,在丁小姐眼中很不是滋味。9Please respect copyright.PENANAppKrXcstfi
9Please respect copyright.PENANAWanm0Rfiwo
不過她仍安穩地坐在辦公桌前方的紅沙發,室內薰黃的破舊壁紙合著空氣散發出老書店獨有的油墨味,似廢墟,其中日常的生活感又在訴說著不似廢墟,進入這裡起就好像浸入了時間的長河,沒來由地予人一種懷古之情。她本職也是道士,看得出來:這一切並非這棟樓真正的內部空間、亦不是簡單的幻覺或障眼法,而是以相當複雜的術式編織出來的“異界”。9Please respect copyright.PENANABUNObkX1TX
案情並不單純,果然有問題。9Please respect copyright.PENANA3ihNwGoGL8
9Please respect copyright.PENANAadLChe4nVO
「嘿學姐,最近還有在忙什麼嗎?」羽明走出廚房,傻笑著與要與客人閒話家常,打斷她的思索。9Please respect copyright.PENANAkNIVX1bXm8
9Please respect copyright.PENANA5BBh5w2m6i
「最近升官啦,你知道,穿雨衣的。」筱寧答道:「也代表工作越來越忙。」9Please respect copyright.PENANAu5ItjmV2Z2
9Please respect copyright.PENANANjHunx4H3H
夜臣穿著熟悉的兔子圍裙端茶走來:「這是我泡的紅茶,希望你喜——」9Please respect copyright.PENANAPgR2pwHYPU
9Please respect copyright.PENANAog4oQrvCwn
只不過,筱寧二話不說、無預警地從手提包裡拿出了一把釘槍指著他們。9Please respect copyright.PENANAY62UtETOjk
9Please respect copyright.PENANA3NulUqsqDD
「抱歉,雖然你們好像真心想招待我。」筱寧拿出手機辨明,「我用內網查了一下,你們的“辦公室”根本沒有經過政府審核,也沒有立案紀錄!」9Please respect copyright.PENANAVAaFALf9or
9Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2pWwrt8wD
「學姐!聽我解釋,那個……」9Please respect copyright.PENANAs85Kn8IRTW
9Please respect copyright.PENANA8XwOGXkZeC
「羽明,沒事。」夜臣向站起身的少年表示切勿衝動,直接雙手舉高投降:「我們才要道歉,筱寧。你有十足充分的理由不相信我們,我們不會做任何反抗。」9Please respect copyright.PENANA1Vi2dG3hTP
9Please respect copyright.PENANAU8d9yvBLIa
「那好,待在那邊別動。我會找人。」筱寧目光戒備兩人不放,一邊緩緩往後退保持距離,一邊打電話:「是威弓隊長嗎?有突發狀況,我這裡……」9Please respect copyright.PENANAf9grlI5CFD
9Please respect copyright.PENANAwWdcpnCGrI
「嘎——」9Please respect copyright.PENANAmT7zI5dsO1
然而,一隻紅眼烏鴉發出警告的啼鳴,並朝丁筱寧迅速飛來!她見狀旋即逃出正門,撤退。9Please respect copyright.PENANAa94LnnN4rT
9Please respect copyright.PENANAtSWR8JslYJ
現場只剩羽明、夜臣,以及半口都沒喝過的紅茶仍冒出困惑的白煙。9Please respect copyright.PENANAvswErJDkaC
9Please respect copyright.PENANA8Rx7Gr7Lay
9Please respect copyright.PENANADah0Lgfrez
自走出那扇門之後,筱寧反覆打開幾次門都毫無反應,辦公室不見了,變成空無一物的廢棄房間——看來僅以外界那扇門為媒介,需要特定的條件才能通往那裡。9Please respect copyright.PENANAI7k21nVzv2
9Please respect copyright.PENANA6qldxq6JVw
「他們還是逃走了……嗎?」筱寧長嘆一口氣,也許是自己神經太過緊繃、或是今晚遇到太多離奇的事情——管他的呢,老娘現在不想相信男人,哪怕是一對男同性戀——啊,不過紅茶看上去感覺很棒呢。9Please respect copyright.PENANAWjbTdGfxN1
9Please respect copyright.PENANAnAP0bop26B
『筱寧?發生什麼事?』隔著手機通話的威弓連忙問道。9Please respect copyright.PENANAmCuOnl3u4W
9Please respect copyright.PENANAznvtmmC9ht
「沒事。之後再報告。」筱寧收起手機,看著那面木門:「哼,下次再好好問那傢伙。」9Please respect copyright.PENANAyZTdXyItFL
9Please respect copyright.PENANAnFCxUxpX7N
「嘖,真麻煩……」9Please respect copyright.PENANAO7tezlMcC4
9Please respect copyright.PENANA8KWnOAENTO
事務所內,一旁的羽明插著腰叨念道,自從被龔世玥小姐——也就是道士協會——得知紀夜臣還在世後,一切就又得遵從那些規章條件,不由得說了些抱怨的話。只不過,他一感受到夜臣投向的冷淡目光,就知道大事不妙。9Please respect copyright.PENANAttwlegwcfh
9Please respect copyright.PENANAXD1mcc8UMa
「就跟你說不要進廚房了,好好跟筱寧聊天。」夜臣責備道:「不要我每次去哪裡,就跟到哪裡。」9Please respect copyright.PENANAMgDW0yIDXK
9Please respect copyright.PENANA4yfzpPRgOA
「……但是……」9Please respect copyright.PENANAezvOAECTIa
9Please respect copyright.PENANAiB3AtlvJ0u
「沒有但是,不要頂嘴。」夜臣繼續唸:「你啊,擅自找人來,又然後還派魔鳥趕人走……我真的不知道要說什麼了。」9Please respect copyright.PENANAZeEpjMEI8e
9Please respect copyright.PENANAikboFr4aaV
「情、情況不一樣嘛!本來我是想給你一個驚喜,誰知道學姐她那麼死腦筋!」他繼續說:「啊我就不想他們搜查這裡……然後……」9Please respect copyright.PENANA31jYRlvFMb
9Please respect copyright.PENANAQxrU6uMbXQ
「算了。都是我的錯。」9Please respect copyright.PENANA5LcnLKJ8Kt
道士只落下這句,不想聽辯解,無力地沉進辦公桌的座位上,托著下巴在沉思。被世人遺忘就是如此難受,想起過去在蓬萊院的孩子們,在他們最需要愛與關懷的時候,自己卻狠心割捨掉——這份罪,贖不清。而現在活著,就要背負活著的責任。9Please respect copyright.PENANAI7TvDEZ22G
9Please respect copyright.PENANAEkagp9xZQ8
眼看他陷入那份情緒,讓羽明心急得要命,趕忙上前關心,從後面按住他寂寞的肩頭,動作輕得像是對待羽毛似地——「這也是沒辦法的事,跟月神簽了契約。」他用宛如鳥兒歌唱的聲音,細說:「好啦好啦,對不起嘛,寶貝不要生氣。」9Please respect copyright.PENANAWBSaht1Xe3
9Please respect copyright.PENANApKJI4EqxIR
夜臣不領情地撇過頭,無視。9Please respect copyright.PENANALVnZRBy6Ow
9Please respect copyright.PENANA3Vka7wP5jI
「那親一個!之前都約好,不管誰先回來都慣例要親一下。」羽明知道現在勸不得,只好改換撒嬌攻勢:「……之後我會再找你談談。可以嗎?」9Please respect copyright.PENANA20Y0QAsBL7
9Please respect copyright.PENANAzgLAXN0bvp
「嗯——」他只是清個喉嚨,羽明就湊上去朝臉頰親一下,便馬上退開兩步,帶著得意的笑容,默默離開。9Please respect copyright.PENANA7aHpapcRJN
9Please respect copyright.PENANAPQy4Zn8L56
果然還是個小朋友。9Please respect copyright.PENANAwbWVAvLkgu
9Please respect copyright.PENANAHTHapULTun
紀夜臣哼了一聲,賭氣地抹掉他的吻。9Please respect copyright.PENANAViKT2ZoBir
