那是下著小雨的日子。631Please respect copyright.PENANAqMfwLhAi4P
631Please respect copyright.PENANAJhhOmT3YZO
天空陰沉灰暗,帶著一點壓抑。631Please respect copyright.PENANAORJy8rgA6D
631Please respect copyright.PENANA0M10ktcGTB
我找到他時,他獨自一人站在街頭,周圍人來人往,不是急著找地方避雨,就是急著回家,沒有人多看他一眼,也許人們發現他了,只是,在這種天氣,一臉蒼白又穿著睡衣出現在街頭的年輕人,足以打消他們親近的念頭與好奇心。631Please respect copyright.PENANAGnfhYCaUNd
631Please respect copyright.PENANAORqJbrEu5g
雨水弄溼他的頭髮和衣物,讓他本就瘦弱的身形顯得更加瘦弱。631Please respect copyright.PENANACS9jBvfX0a
631Please respect copyright.PENANAckl9o7KtBg
「我找你好久。」631Please respect copyright.PENANAc8nboR9nLS
631Please respect copyright.PENANArIo3iHYDZU
他聞聲回頭,眼裡沒有驚訝,也沒有欣喜,就像篝火燃燼,連最後的火星都蹦不出來,一片寂然。「伊安。」631Please respect copyright.PENANAtCmbg6N2qW
631Please respect copyright.PENANA4qTGWzlR0E
他的嗓音極輕,混著雨聲,更是難以辨聞。631Please respect copyright.PENANAEltr6BVp75
631Please respect copyright.PENANAs21MqFcCQb
我快步上前,將原本掛在手臂的風衣抖開,快速覆蓋在他身上,避免更多雨水打浸溼他的衣物和深褐色髮絲,「你不吭一聲的偷跑出來,瑪姆嚇壞了,所有人都急著找你。」冰冷的雨水,讓他本就沒有幾分血色的面容更顯蒼白。631Please respect copyright.PENANAD420U6F9yF
631Please respect copyright.PENANAeQy1cKeU0p
「回去吧!這種天氣不適合散步。」631Please respect copyright.PENANAuWNrrXhifn
631Please respect copyright.PENANAqocE1fTXAH
他轉頭看我,臉上都是雨水的痕跡,就連眼眶也蓄著水珠,讓人分不清是淚水或是雨水,「伊安……」他猶豫了下,才緩緩繼續未完的話語,「我快死了嗎?」631Please respect copyright.PENANADBcFyLyVtI
631Please respect copyright.PENANAG4xajNj9Th
聽似平靜的話語,底頭掩著一絲期待,一點僥倖,裡頭還混著茫然與絕望。631Please respect copyright.PENANAOwlSbTz8cN
631Please respect copyright.PENANAM6bPMeyWVU
如果,我是名人類,也許我會對他多加安慰,或是回予善意的謊言,但我不是,我看著他琥珀色的眼眸,看著他眼中的壓抑,輕聲回應,「嗯。」631Please respect copyright.PENANA1hiiBh9zTn
631Please respect copyright.PENANAaj0QaxfQ0A
人類是種相當奇妙的生物。631Please respect copyright.PENANAgOoj9MIf9l
631Please respect copyright.PENANAI2XRKZNaPp
不管注視他們多久,我依然如此認為。631Please respect copyright.PENANA6x7vKkluPv
631Please respect copyright.PENANAT94nZLYf00
他們很聰明,也很貪婪,在慾望驅使下,他們不斷的在進步,不管是文明,還是科學與醫學,就連生活習慣與環境都不斷變化。631Please respect copyright.PENANAlVirefNfj4
631Please respect copyright.PENANAo0aKfPGW4g
諷刺的是,在他們壽命與生活品質提升的同時,也衍生了新的問題。631Please respect copyright.PENANAPqk8QVZ9te
631Please respect copyright.PENANAmWrNzhGs1h
以疾病來說,每當他們的研究有所突破,病毒就會隨之進化,或是誕生另種令他們束手無策的病症。631Please respect copyright.PENANAAISSx9cP6V
631Please respect copyright.PENANAVwbRCYhGSE
無限輪迴。631Please respect copyright.PENANAvlQzUvVOZv
631Please respect copyright.PENANAhefo2ohpG8
儘管,許多病症是過度舒適與文明的代價。631Please respect copyright.PENANAv2dc2LUueZ
631Please respect copyright.PENANAAcCtZOPeGa
他不發一語的看著我,那雙彷彿會說話的琥珀色眼眸盈滿悲傷,最後,他對我露出一個比哭更加難看的笑容,「我不甘心。」631Please respect copyright.PENANAh2wYIEqFvu
631Please respect copyright.PENANAb2M66wyrJP
「真的好不甘心。」631Please respect copyright.PENANANsmnO7GnHJ
631Please respect copyright.PENANAdVD5W4MM4D
他還年輕,世界如此遼闊,有著許多他不曾見聞的事物,還有好多他想瞭解的事,他卻來不及用自己的眼睛觀看,就得面對死亡。631Please respect copyright.PENANAqe46KV5OyR
631Please respect copyright.PENANAwiB1JJnMQG
為什麼是他?631Please respect copyright.PENANAc8ogtvtCgh
631Please respect copyright.PENANAa1PfGj0fl1
為什麼他的人生剛要起步,就要死了?631Please respect copyright.PENANAiOTFemN5Vu
631Please respect copyright.PENANAYOzNVuLICK
他的問題,我沒有回答。631Please respect copyright.PENANAp6H2JmMvRy
631Please respect copyright.PENANACgLawjP5mT
怪物和人類不同,沒有怪物會因為疾病而死亡,我們的死亡,只會是順應自然的結局,以及怪物相殘,或者,是人類的迫害。631Please respect copyright.PENANA75nF0VqkF0
631Please respect copyright.PENANA5iGAdh0YUu
人類太過脆弱。631Please respect copyright.PENANAmoA5QVKheS
631Please respect copyright.PENANAwL3kF6Q7xV
哪怕擁有最好的環境,擁有最好的照顧與資源,疾病仍是會悄悄找上門,如此蠻橫而不講道理,甚至不公平。631Please respect copyright.PENANAfsTz2XTFOp
631Please respect copyright.PENANA6XHc76d2cR
有的人患病可以痊癒,有的人可以藉著手術割除患部來保命,有些人卻沒有這樣的機會。631Please respect copyright.PENANAjmnLKtM6lH
631Please respect copyright.PENANAf4Rb2fC9zp
一丁點的小傷,一點的意外,全都可能奪走他們的性命。631Please respect copyright.PENANA17w1QQBZy6
631Please respect copyright.PENANAeCk2k5Hs1E
他們只能冀望奇蹟,然而,奇蹟往往不會出現。631Please respect copyright.PENANAhufsBB6z8V
631Please respect copyright.PENANAuh0NCtFhyP
哪怕披上風衣,渾身溼透的他體溫依然低的驚人,知曉再這麼下去,對他身體沒有幫助,我索性揚手將斗篷遮在他上頭,「回去洗個熱水澡後,讓瑪姆替你溫杯牛奶,再加上很多蜂蜜,好嗎?」631Please respect copyright.PENANAxVcD9GTUfZ
631Please respect copyright.PENANAx0lCFfAPM4
「嗯。」他溫馴的點頭。631Please respect copyright.PENANAQkpj5Nh0TM
631Please respect copyright.PENANArXxt4rTh6l
疾病侵蝕的很快,比料想的更加讓人措手不及。631Please respect copyright.PENANAqUL5lPfvox
631Please respect copyright.PENANAnsoXcNaGZr
不管是好或壞,幾乎能試的方法,都試過了,依然無法阻止病情的惡化與反覆復發,最後,原本還能靠自己的能力離開床舖,到外頭走走的他,只能困在家中。631Please respect copyright.PENANAVuLsxyGvuT
631Please respect copyright.PENANApfxADafQ1s
為了讓他好過點,我將他的床移到靠窗的位置,讓他可以透過窗戶,觀看外頭景色,儘管,那些景色相當單調無趣。631Please respect copyright.PENANAqAtxzdREso
631Please respect copyright.PENANAoLjHc0kXbZ
最後,他連撐起上半身,觀看窗外的力氣也沒有了。631Please respect copyright.PENANASCTawB2qGm
631Please respect copyright.PENANAtz1dUl7A9Y
我看著他失去昔日的光彩,會說話的雙眼再也不復以往靈動,死亡離他很近,近得隨時都能將他帶走。631Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2kU393UB2
631Please respect copyright.PENANAFlkiVSTdJB
饒是如此,他依然重視自身儀態,就和平日一樣,我鮮少看見病人如他這般打理自己,不容許半絲狼狽。631Please respect copyright.PENANA76yzqv5mKh
631Please respect copyright.PENANAb3NdOC44YS
最後時候來臨時,他過於憔悴的面容,讓人無法和以往的美男子作上連結,他費力的將手置於我掌中,那雙會說話的眼睛,倏地活了過來,彷彿吐露著千言萬語,但是,直到最後一刻,他本人只是如此說道:「我很抱歉,伊安。」631Please respect copyright.PENANAvuvNVIdEPd
631Please respect copyright.PENANAO2dbWauJTX
「真的很抱歉……」631Please respect copyright.PENANA2vkHpsohTf
631Please respect copyright.PENANA8PYNWeozqR
我不知道,他離開時,是否如同表面上的安詳,又或是像他的遺言一樣,充滿歉意,我只能伸手撥開垂落在他眼皮的髮絲,並於他額頭輕輕一吻,「沒有什麼好抱歉的。」631Please respect copyright.PENANAzGJ94jsuEk
631Please respect copyright.PENANAF3IYsbfJWx
不管是對我,還是對他。631Please respect copyright.PENANAVAOI16iULt
631Please respect copyright.PENANAtXs0AXd00x
這不過是人類必然的結果,哪怕形式不同,最後的結局仍是不變。631Please respect copyright.PENANA0sNDqyyGOC
631Please respect copyright.PENANAOVlzB1bjXc
當我睜開雙眼,發覺周圍景色產生莫大改變,我才發覺,我又作夢了。631Please respect copyright.PENANARIokN0PJBO
631Please respect copyright.PENANACmqBuRPP50
比起先前那個模糊破碎的夢境,這個夢極為清晰,就好似剛發生一樣,不,確實曾經發生,只是距今已有好段時間,足以讓人類的文化潮流再度邁進一大步,偏偏,夢裡,他死前凝視我的眼神如此鮮明。631Please respect copyright.PENANATpCrZsDOPX
631Please respect copyright.PENANAJPJHInixn7
「伊安?」631Please respect copyright.PENANAeHX49PY7l2
631Please respect copyright.PENANA8kDxCZBWOd
略帶不滿的呼喚聲,自前頭傳來,我知道,交談中走神,甚至是短暫陷入睡眠的我有不對之處,仍是感到些微慍怒。631Please respect copyright.PENANAOtFEBbVXR1
631Please respect copyright.PENANAZNPPdEa0eT
我抬頭看向坐在我面前的吸血鬼,「你們打擾到我的思考了。」631Please respect copyright.PENANAUCYvvYGX8U
631Please respect copyright.PENANApKP8Lydu3R
現場氣氛猛地轉變,與其要說是一觸即發的緊繃,充滿針對性的憤怒,不如說,更加偏向唯恐驚擾了什麼的噤若寒蟬。631Please respect copyright.PENANAuvWj9kZ1Yq
631Please respect copyright.PENANA8sVQcgZrbZ
這種氣氛,我很熟悉。631Please respect copyright.PENANAny2H2DhTZK
631Please respect copyright.PENANAzzN6FRfRAd
失去交談興致的我,自座位起身。631Please respect copyright.PENANAdH4lJElKHr
631Please respect copyright.PENANAMjvinaxPFp
離開前,我如此說道:「把那傢伙找出來。」631Please respect copyright.PENANAUVDMxiOnXd
631Please respect copyright.PENANAyGVgzQVt86
沒有人提出異議,也沒有人試著阻止我離開,就連投注在我身上的目光也少得可憐,我知道,他們會去做的。631Please respect copyright.PENANAQOfoQz9aF3
631Please respect copyright.PENANAsfyDP2rDc5
無論是否自願。631Please respect copyright.PENANAiXY6HSgmRn

*** *** ***631Please respect copyright.PENANANXhTrVAR63
631Please respect copyright.PENANAbmtK9oPc0g
一般情況 ,我不會干涉其他怪物的娛樂行為,即使,那會使我身邊的人類受到莫大傷害與影響,我依舊保持沉默。631Please respect copyright.PENANAtd9gaJ2Rr7
631Please respect copyright.PENANABlQcudczwD
安德烈第一次遇襲,可以說是他運氣太背,不幸捲入某個怪物的娛樂。631Please respect copyright.PENANAOEuhuT0Ktr
631Please respect copyright.PENANAnj9hLbS2g9
他傷勢痊癒,活蹦亂跳不到幾天,再次遇襲。631Please respect copyright.PENANAEfVoMlI4eQ
631Please respect copyright.PENANA9HhhwAxkDd
當時,我正在半人馬酒館,素來喜歡散播小道消息的小精靈,風風火火的跑進酒館,第一句話就是 ,伊安認識的人類又被揍了。631Please respect copyright.PENANAmOXBNI4Gc3
631Please respect copyright.PENANAUqluP3rlVh
小精靈還特別強調,不是欠打的弟弟,是那個選錯職業的牧師哥哥。631Please respect copyright.PENANAwrhfP1mF6T
631Please respect copyright.PENANAONa3jj8yM5
託他大嗓門的福,整間酒館的怪物全聽見了。631Please respect copyright.PENANAEHOsXlLWvy
631Please respect copyright.PENANAGO9HgszV1L
剎那間,所有目光全都集中在我身上。631Please respect copyright.PENANAWUj4QAt8x4
631Please respect copyright.PENANAzLfY2jLuVM
發覺我也在場的小精靈,瞬間沒了聲響,他將自己縮成一團,意圖混在怪物堆裡,然而,不管他移到哪,怪物們都無情的散了開來。631Please respect copyright.PENANAuyZbtNw7OA
631Please respect copyright.PENANAeFWAKCT78A
獨自站在一邊的小精靈格外顯眼。631Please respect copyright.PENANAMDXK3LhkT9
631Please respect copyright.PENANAelAFCTtmc5
比起人類,怪物的態度與反應,更加真實。631Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7vabXo513
631Please respect copyright.PENANAwy3QOkLz2P
安德烈再次受襲的消息,並沒有令我氣怒的砸酒杯,也沒有讓我破口大罵,我只是將酒杯湊於唇前,不急不徐的喝完那杯酒,等我把酒杯放回桌面,冰塊與杯壁敲擊,發出清脆聲響時,倏然一笑,「真令我高興,好久不曾看到如此忠於本能的怪物了。」631Please respect copyright.PENANAq18iARZHzX
631Please respect copyright.PENANAub2rhVBQ18
為了自身娛樂,連命都不要的怪物,何等令人欣喜。631Please respect copyright.PENANAq2269foGJL
631Please respect copyright.PENANAUUeBdDXEjv
我意示半人馬為忐忑不安的小精靈送上一杯酒,並在所有怪物的注視下,轉身面對他們,「喝吧!今晚我請客。」631Please respect copyright.PENANAZXVXfNZuVG
631Please respect copyright.PENANA81SZUb5z50
離開酒館,經過小精靈身邊時,我對他輕聲說道:「下回,希望你能帶來同等有趣的消息。」631Please respect copyright.PENANAQrks7C9Lfy
631Please respect copyright.PENANASNSOCLweAc
剛踏出半人馬酒館,希沃茲便不聲不響的跟了上來,顯然是在聽聞安德烈遇襲,或是探望過他情況後,特意趕來。631Please respect copyright.PENANArWjW2qjxCI
631Please respect copyright.PENANAVrARXZH2qf
「安德烈傷得不重。」631Please respect copyright.PENANARsd76sQiCX
631Please respect copyright.PENANAElfWCRS6W8
希沃茲帶來的消息不糟,但也沒有好到能改變我的心情,「嗯,看來上回受傷,對安德烈來說,也不是全然沒有好處。」631Please respect copyright.PENANAHxU09Um3gR
631Please respect copyright.PENANAZzgmUAhCYL
至少,他這回反應的挺快,沒有出啥大問題。631Please respect copyright.PENANAEuixUtxspr
631Please respect copyright.PENANA6LMSYXEusy
「我去過現場了。」631Please respect copyright.PENANA1JIFiAC1HA
631Please respect copyright.PENANAANWQNulIni
希沃茲並未對現場多加描述,就連一丁點的揣測也沒有,代表他一無所獲,還有對安德烈下手的傢伙,應該是同一名。631Please respect copyright.PENANAhfgdGH0Dla
631Please respect copyright.PENANATEhE7r9FEZ
我忍不住輕笑,「意外之喜。」631Please respect copyright.PENANArHQVbu7NYu
631Please respect copyright.PENANAJa3JhCvJYq
對安德烈下手的怪物是否同一名,並不重要,重要的是,安德烈養傷的這段期間,一直和我們在一塊,哪怕曾經落單,也沒有遇過半次危險,更沒有人試著再一次砸破他的腦袋。631Please respect copyright.PENANATrvbPOOkXA
631Please respect copyright.PENANAe3x5soJE7l
他一搬回去就遇到襲擊,絕對不是巧合。631Please respect copyright.PENANAQNaPxj7VHW
631Please respect copyright.PENANAASexplHjwN
至少,在這座城市,不會出現如此愚蠢的巧合。631Please respect copyright.PENANABamZ6x5FYn
631Please respect copyright.PENANA3ILbZI5r2z
就是對安德烈極其反感的賽門也不會犯下如此低級的錯誤,畢竟,兩名怪物的娛樂交疊,最後還發展到妨礙彼此娛樂的程度,通常不是什麼好事。631Please respect copyright.PENANAeqiH7VNkFj
631Please respect copyright.PENANABmpJufsC1O
會這麼幹的怪物,不是有自信,就是過份愚蠢。631Please respect copyright.PENANAjIPzm6MAyw
631Please respect copyright.PENANA4BH15ROIEm
前者不會留下任何把柄或線索,後者,就像對安德烈出手的怪物,明看著沒有半點頭緒,實際上無處不彰顯怪物手筆。631Please respect copyright.PENANATiB7IBTaqL
631Please respect copyright.PENANAF1Yrv2qLHH
如此張揚顯擺,昭彰自己的存在。631Please respect copyright.PENANAOLsT96Rty0
631Please respect copyright.PENANADfQGPCu461
打從怪物們開始融入人類世界,一心想挑釁我的怪物,我已經很久沒遇過了,有意思到讓我忍不住低笑,我的笑聲,讓走在我身旁的希沃茲微微一顫,他彷彿想到什麼的看我一眼,接著,迅移開視線,「我的老天。」631Please respect copyright.PENANAHKUyG3nI3v
631Please respect copyright.PENANARiwZiJXUgs
「城裡的怪物要恨死那傢伙了。」他如此說道。631Please respect copyright.PENANAagYhvwCYCb
631Please respect copyright.PENANAqDqIYQLwbn
平常時候,我是個相當慵懶的怪物,鮮少和其他怪物打交道,安德烈再次受襲的那天夜裡, 我破天荒的造訪了幾名在安德烈出事前,出現在本市的怪物。631Please respect copyright.PENANAsvi2lCmus0
631Please respect copyright.PENANAu44Cykjo5C
不管是打算長期居住,或是短暫逗留,我都親切友善的表達了問候之意。631Please respect copyright.PENANAyVRs4neXyq
631Please respect copyright.PENANAbVcbjVIb92
其中一名怪物對此感到不滿,他對著我大聲咆哮,問我是什麼意思?伴隨而來的,還有他那條覆滿鱗片,尾帶倒刺的長尾。631Please respect copyright.PENANAlXzcyTosy5
631Please respect copyright.PENANAgW78auNllM
他的攻擊相當到位,甚至可以說是刁鑽毒辣,直接對準我眼睛與心臟。631Please respect copyright.PENANAJxkn2OVx7a
631Please respect copyright.PENANA8DuVWQmgHs
蜥蝪人尾巴比人類想像的更加強勁有力,那下甩擊,輕易的將實木桌椅砸得稀巴爛,不單如此,在我閃避尾巴的同時,烏黑尖銳的長爪再次襲來。631Please respect copyright.PENANAIstsQG2zGf
631Please respect copyright.PENANAFTLQzLdh9C
不知怎的,我突然想起亞里德以往拖著我一塊看的中國武俠電影。631Please respect copyright.PENANAMVpkKfckXw
631Please respect copyright.PENANAfN2u20gFSN
裡頭的絕代高手,面對這種險峻的情況,往往一個風騷扭身,或是藉由一個超越想像的動作來迴避危險,感覺很不賴,以吸血鬼的體魄,我覺得自己要作出類似的動作,全然不是問題,但是,我腦中猛地閃過那個破碎夢境的片段。631Please respect copyright.PENANAlP6kQUpI22
631Please respect copyright.PENANAyrf5woqjts
那個充滿血,以及哀嚎的年代。631Please respect copyright.PENANAePOhEInA7K
631Please respect copyright.PENANAyzhp7h931C
怪物就該恣意妄為。631Please respect copyright.PENANA8oWvFs9sHz
631Please respect copyright.PENANADXPUIP9rDz
蜥蝪人至今沒能搞懂,他是怎麼失去自己的長尾和雙手,他回神時,早已讓我按在牆上,鮮血自傷口斷面延著牆面流下,浸溼地毯。631Please respect copyright.PENANAzraUjlZ4jl
631Please respect copyright.PENANAgMmunjKcPi
不管他是想放聲哀嚎,還是想說些什麼,察覺到我扣住他脖頸的手,指甲竟能刺破他堅硬的鱗片,死死鎖住他的聲音時,蜥蝪人的目光充滿驚愕與慌張,我控制力道,維持在掐住他聲音和呼吸,但又不會輕易令他窒息的程度,低笑。631Please respect copyright.PENANAz387q6pUmd
631Please respect copyright.PENANAx8NrPpxK8B
「驕傲吧!你做了亞瑞克沒膽子做的事。」631Please respect copyright.PENANAwmlChTeh7A
631Please respect copyright.PENANAgDWNar89Up
聽見亞瑞克的名字,蜥蝪人不能自主的發顫。631Please respect copyright.PENANAdI6eMonf0h
631Please respect copyright.PENANAKmjJLMKmfd
亞瑞克是名活了很久的蜥蝪人,只是,他已經消聲匿跡好長一段時間,以人類的方式來說,大概是……亞瑞克早早過著退休生活,含飴弄孫去了。631Please respect copyright.PENANAaHVgW70Th4
631Please respect copyright.PENANArp9sQt9uUt
除了蜥蝪人,一般怪物不會知道,甚至不曾聽過這名老古董的名字。631Please respect copyright.PENANAkvjQnXy15P
631Please respect copyright.PENANAo0pwd67DK1
很久很久以前,桃樂絲曾經問過我們,如何判斷一名怪物的強弱?她發現,怪物的外貌並不足以作為判斷的標準。631Please respect copyright.PENANAV8my0Z8KWe
631Please respect copyright.PENANAjgm92S3XYW
她提問的原因很實在。631Please respect copyright.PENANA4WxMk32E2R
631Please respect copyright.PENANARpOElQ90Jx
那時有名半人半蛇的性感女妖對希沃茲拋了個媚眼,她正考慮要不要把那名女妖給拖到角落毒打一頓。631Please respect copyright.PENANAmngq0u2v5l
631Please respect copyright.PENANA9f9DeRmJsm
這個想法很怪物,我喜歡。631Please respect copyright.PENANAPhMzxYRNO1
631Please respect copyright.PENANATmwGJTup1S
事實上,桃樂絲的問題並沒有所謂的標準答案,怪物之所以是怪物,正是因為本身就是件不符合常理的存在,只有人類才會試圖在怪物身上套個標準。631Please respect copyright.PENANAsDU7T8UOZz
631Please respect copyright.PENANALVv83bIEiR
如果,硬要在這件事作文章的話,只能說,怪物的強悍往往超越人類想像,就是公認最溫和無害的棕精靈,發起狠來,人類也不是對手,這些年來,觸怒他們而被弄死的人類,不在少數,更遑論那些本來就惡名在外的怪物。631Please respect copyright.PENANA6bBeP7wz4C
631Please respect copyright.PENANAN1N4WizRT8
怪物的強悍度,視對象不同而有所差異。631Please respect copyright.PENANAl7d7GX0Riv
631Please respect copyright.PENANA7zsYWGXbfG
以賽門為例。631Please respect copyright.PENANAy2UacyBaQr
631Please respect copyright.PENANAKDMjaVLxlC
賽門生得極為好看,就是單看身段也是天生衣架子,哪怕放在怪物圈裡,也是好看到天怒人怨的等級,這種好看,不會讓人感到任何威脅性或是強大,彷彿隨便來個體型大點的傢伙,甚至是人類,都可以輕易把他打成殘疾。631Please respect copyright.PENANAFRIop3qiF5
631Please respect copyright.PENANASZixHRR7nu
事實上,曾經有許多不長眼的怪物把賽門當成軟柿子捏。631Please respect copyright.PENANAVsVyfKkvEK
631Please respect copyright.PENANAiPmQQlXver
賽門的作法也相當簡單粗暴,全部弄死,一個不留。631Please respect copyright.PENANAEwrVd4JKOC
631Please respect copyright.PENANAAUmbzb8fVk
這還是賽門刻意保留的情況。631Please respect copyright.PENANAyp0ogYDFFp
631Please respect copyright.PENANAOwhzvc2mDq
再來說說梅杜莎,這個在神話中,除了石化能力,幾乎沒有其他自保手段的蛇女,或許沒有足以匹敵賽門的強大實力,栽在她手裡的怪物和人類卻是多得數不清。631Please respect copyright.PENANApyQHfQEHW0
631Please respect copyright.PENANAxegWzI0lfX
如果沒有必要,賽門也不太想和她正面衝突。631Please respect copyright.PENANA79BYlj17r6
631Please respect copyright.PENANAIRJBgQtyHz
簡單來說,能從怪物橫行的年代存活至今的怪物,基本上,都不是什麼親切友善的怪物,能知道亞瑞克的怪物,也不會是新生怪物。631Please respect copyright.PENANAkOu6ckqCrL
631Please respect copyright.PENANA4hL6kmX1VR
看在亞瑞克的份上,我離開蜥蝪人住所時,他還活著,只是虛弱的躺在地上喘息。631Please respect copyright.PENANATRFX76aj0P
631Please respect copyright.PENANAfTJKfOpx5F
蜥蝪人的再生能力很強,這種程度的傷勢,不會危及他的性命,至於他要花多少時間才能生出新的四肢和尾巴,不是我該擔心的事。631Please respect copyright.PENANALmUo2ftFTR
631Please respect copyright.PENANAlWEX25G1pV
繼蜥蝪人後,我又造訪了許多這座城市算是陌生面孔的怪物,無一例外的與他們進行親切友好的交流,當然,親切友好是對我而言,以他們角度來說,我可能有那麼點粗暴,不過,我相信,他們不會太過介意,畢竟,怪物原本就是這樣的存在。631Please respect copyright.PENANAPFnQq8uoMP
631Please respect copyright.PENANASu1vwYSeVj
哪怕他們在意,也無所謂。631Please respect copyright.PENANAhlezA8ZGwg
631Please respect copyright.PENANABW36VucZIz
誰會在意怪物臨死前的想法?631Please respect copyright.PENANAzu019Wd0ez

不是沒有怪物想過,要趁著我找上門前離開,只是他們還沒來得及動作,我便找上門了,有的怪物則是在出城前受到攔阻。631Please respect copyright.PENANA9Q6ipweTqp
631Please respect copyright.PENANAGSc8jv5CGI
期間,我曾遇過幾撥怪物碰在一塊,試圖抵抗。631Please respect copyright.PENANAGPfPD8z8In
631Please respect copyright.PENANAgX54FXxKPB
怪物間的鬥爭相當乾脆,他們甚至沒有問我為什麼,或是向我討要證據和說法,生或死,如此簡單乾脆。631Please respect copyright.PENANA2YTewP6ZpF
631Please respect copyright.PENANASq4XaF2Wng
和人類在殺害螞蟻和牛羊時,不會先取得牠們同意是一樣的道理。631Please respect copyright.PENANAmtqcK8J6uV
631Please respect copyright.PENANADj4oBo12MB
連續幾天下來,所有怪物都清楚意識到,只要一天找不到真兇,我就一天不會罷休,在不知道是第幾個怪物死在我手裡,或是因此重創後,倖存的怪物們終於透過各種方式與管道,找上城裡與我有交情的怪物。631Please respect copyright.PENANAz3kdybuIvj
631Please respect copyright.PENANAw0QDodIa6r
饒是如此,也沒人叫我收手。631Please respect copyright.PENANA9ciiNXloMi
631Please respect copyright.PENANAgZ4FJvDgKq
介入一名怪物的娛樂是回事,挑釁另名怪物又是回事,不僅是我,凡是面對這種情況的怪物,都不會默不吭聲,更何況,我從來都不是個樂於忍耐的怪物。631Please respect copyright.PENANAWzhsFCO7gW
631Please respect copyright.PENANAlsi9ZJWzIG
我的要求,只有一個。631Please respect copyright.PENANAwJJmcJfCJx
631Please respect copyright.PENANAeBibUKgk5s
「把那傢伙找出來。」631Please respect copyright.PENANAavs91l8i4X
631Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZCiat68VJ
又或者,讓我將這段期間出現在本市的怪物全數問候完。631Please respect copyright.PENANAcoMuA3u92r

和初次遇襲相比,再次遇襲的安德烈狀態好的不得了。631Please respect copyright.PENANA04wvgeQiU1
631Please respect copyright.PENANAsZCpgTxRvj
人有所謂的第六感,安德烈自然也擁有這樣的感知,當他預感到不對勁時,毫不猶豫的轉身就走,一秒也不曾躊躇。631Please respect copyright.PENANAmYk1S6Rznz
631Please respect copyright.PENANAmnfg01E5Cf
這點讓我感到很滿意,他前回挨的悶棍,還是有價值的,至少在那時候,他沒有傻到想和那傢伙對抗,或是堅持要留下來一睹對方真面目,正因為他選擇了相信自己的危機預感,毫不猶豫的轉身就走,所以,這會受到的傷害比上回輕微許多。631Please respect copyright.PENANAxMMOzCcMyP
631Please respect copyright.PENANALHoYb4ybmw
說是皮肉傷也不為過。631Please respect copyright.PENANAKmnpYdLFnn
631Please respect copyright.PENANAcJmJ0wImL6
安德烈搬回住處前,為了安全起見,我找了藉口讓他幫我照顧埃及貓幾天,偽裝成貓的斯芬克斯當時白了我一眼,旋即認命的走向安德烈,在他腳邊磨蹭撒嬌,不斷喵叫,搞得安德烈想拒絕也硬不下心腸。631Please respect copyright.PENANAWX3inQnbQa
631Please respect copyright.PENANAOhJ4sBYIRH
斯芬克斯不愧是活了數千年的傢伙,很明白要怎麼抓住人類的心。631Please respect copyright.PENANAfxZtA42xDp
631Please respect copyright.PENANAGbQmiZCCuw
牠在安德烈那暫住的期間,為了時刻待在他身邊就近保護,可說是使出渾身解數,各種撒嬌賣萌,一副半點離不開人的模樣,羨煞不少愛貓人士。631Please respect copyright.PENANAajS08SJutt
631Please respect copyright.PENANA0GDZlLeiJg
全然不知曉得埃及貓真實身份的安德烈,就這樣接受了牠的設定,將這隻過度親人的貓帶在身邊。631Please respect copyright.PENANAFeo6Xv2DdZ
631Please respect copyright.PENANASKF2qUVqkV
安德烈遇襲時,埃及貓正好被安德烈借給附近的老人家作為陪伴。631Please respect copyright.PENANAmCOVM5IjLP
631Please respect copyright.PENANAImsVW2nEDD
老人家將這隻可愛漂亮又親人的貓咪視為寶貝,片刻也不肯移開視線,甚至拿出各種貓玩具和貓零食來逗牠開心。631Please respect copyright.PENANAAEj1QgskHB
631Please respect copyright.PENANA01NSFYXLsA
斯芬克斯憋著一肚的委屈,還得配合老人家裝出自己玩得很開心的模樣……說到這時,斯芬克斯惡狠狠的瞪了我一眼,堂堂人面獅身,居然得像隻貓一樣,對各種貓零食表現出興趣濃厚的樣子,的確很憋屈。631Please respect copyright.PENANAfUMTzaoi9X
631Please respect copyright.PENANA4djZXgTMcj
正因為被老人家玩得團團轉,安德烈出事時,斯芬克斯並不在他身邊。631Please respect copyright.PENANAdpeMH11yPt
631Please respect copyright.PENANANMbm6KAsqM
斯芬克斯察覺不對,在一票老人家驚呼聲中跑到安德烈身邊時,那個機警的怪物早在失手的第一時間,毫不猶豫的撤走,哪怕後來斯芬克斯風風火火的趕來,也沒能逮到對方,更何況,牠剛趕到不久,那群老人家便追著跑走的小貓跟來了。631Please respect copyright.PENANA525IcPRSXX
631Please respect copyright.PENANArmWLgrAUdL
不願意也不方便在當下曝露身份的斯芬克斯,急得直打轉。631Please respect copyright.PENANAPUdz92vdoh
631Please respect copyright.PENANAQaaFs7oxDS
他既不敢離安德烈太遠,也不能要求安德烈與我聯絡,如果不是桃樂絲正好到附近購物,斯芬克斯估計得趁著沒人發現的時候,順走某個倒楣傢伙的手機,再捏著鼻子,掐著嗓子和希沃茲聯絡了。631Please respect copyright.PENANAuwKe5r0e4R
631Please respect copyright.PENANAwcBR2Iz12L
為什麼不是找我?理由很簡單,因為我根本沒告訴斯芬克斯我的聯絡電話。631Please respect copyright.PENANA05X08Zqrpk
631Please respect copyright.PENANALwG8cRBmM1
事實上,我們根本沒想過會有需要急緊聯絡的一天。631Please respect copyright.PENANANIYOmZrjea
631Please respect copyright.PENANAeHnq8QTY9I
靈機一動的斯芬克斯立馬衝到桃樂絲面前喵喵叫,向來對貓過敏,以至心理產生嚴重陰影的桃樂絲,當下放聲尖叫。631Please respect copyright.PENANAy2oo3beLwe
631Please respect copyright.PENANAwuti2cSxX4
哪怕後來店家幫忙將埃及貓給抱到店外,發現埃及貓依然守在店外的桃樂絲,壓根不敢踏出店門半步,最後,還是找了希沃茲過來救援。631Please respect copyright.PENANA1e1t6fh4nz
631Please respect copyright.PENANASeuNvRqGDh
不得不說,當我聽到這部份時,我好想親眼目睹桃樂絲彷彿世界末日的崩潰模樣,可惜,一切只能經由斯芬克斯轉述,平白少了一些樂趣,最後,我忍不住問斯芬克斯,「你把桃樂絲嚇成這樣,希沃茲就沒點表示?」631Please respect copyright.PENANA9vlPgCSGBo
631Please respect copyright.PENANAuITSTmV0Wa
「當然有。」斯芬克斯白了我一眼,「但是他認得我,而且安德烈也在那時找到我了。」631Please respect copyright.PENANALHRGNwM6Hy
631Please respect copyright.PENANAjTq0Vjc9Rp
好樣的,希沃茲再怎樣也不可能當安德烈的面揍埃及貓,尤其是,那隻埃及貓是賽門留下來給我照顧的。631Please respect copyright.PENANAn76IsH6Zoq
631Please respect copyright.PENANA0MM5vtzFkw
與安德烈碰頭的希沃茲,當下就察覺了不對,等他巡視完現場,和安德烈交談時,喜愛八卦的小精靈正巧經過,聽到這個消息,立馬拔腿就跑,知曉要是沒攔住小精靈,沒多久整個城市的怪物都會知道安德烈再次遇襲的希沃茲,想都沒想就跟著衝了出來。631Please respect copyright.PENANAudQroGslAi
631Please respect copyright.PENANAP6L2MWc4bK
沒想到還是晚了一步。631Please respect copyright.PENANA7KvdDIiGeQ
631Please respect copyright.PENANAK76GYDNTfL
接著的事,斯芬克斯不說,我也知道,小精靈把事情鬧得眾怪皆知,我還很不巧的在半人馬酒館,事情一發不可收拾。631Please respect copyright.PENANA3N5A2PSp17
631Please respect copyright.PENANAgr6i1E07S8
對於我的所做所為,斯芬克斯一點也不覺得訝異,他甚至嫌我作法太過溫吞,就他認知裡,以前的我根本不會容許這種事情發生,安德烈首次遇襲,我就會殘忍兇暴的一路血洗,管他是人類還是怪物。631Please respect copyright.PENANAJjosYSP5hW
631Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5b7Q5Btnf
斯芬克斯突然顯得幾分感傷,「你老了,不復當年驍勇了。」631Please respect copyright.PENANAP3wxNJ63c9
631Please respect copyright.PENANAbJfVruLQZE
他到底都看了什麼節目,學了這些亂七八糟的東西?我看了他一眼,不作計較,反正等用餐時間,他發現自己碗裡只有貓乾糧時,他就會知道,亂用詞語的代價。631Please respect copyright.PENANARjqP86Kp00
631Please respect copyright.PENANAoGy4yH24c1
身為當事人的安德烈,自然不會知道,我在這一連串事件背後做了些什麼。631Please respect copyright.PENANAmWAnTMcV1M
631Please respect copyright.PENANA5qvAfqIKe0
我不會主動告訴他,其他怪物更加不會多嘴,畢竟,現在整個城市的怪物都盯著安德烈跟亞里德,誰敢多跟他們多聊一句,十有八九會被當成兇手給滅掉,饒是如此,安德烈依然敏銳的發覺,周遭氣氛好像不太對勁。631Please respect copyright.PENANAempI9bLddL
631Please respect copyright.PENANA9xzOGma5Ip
與我相處的時間一久,對於城裡哪些傢伙是怪物,安德烈心裡多少有底。631Please respect copyright.PENANAMjYre4B5fs
631Please respect copyright.PENANA4sAcRGfIxm
一天,他出門回來後,神色認真的問我,最近城裡發生什麼大事嗎?631Please respect copyright.PENANAJczqdqxYXw
631Please respect copyright.PENANAVNUgP6ybHJ
坦白說,這個問題有些難著我,以人類的角度,那名尚未落網的連續殺人兇手,應該是城裡最大的隱憂,以怪物的角度,不管連續殺人犯的真實身份是人或怪物,其實都不是什麼值得大驚小怪的問題。631Please respect copyright.PENANAonMdjltE04
631Please respect copyright.PENANAqmo1ePs2Yb
比起這些,我相信怪物們更想知道,到底是誰襲擊了安德烈兩次?631Please respect copyright.PENANA1sx8McpCsr
631Please respect copyright.PENANA4mwaEJzBmM
尤其是在昨天晚上,我又造訪了部份怪物的住所。631Please respect copyright.PENANAhKFFim0csg
631Please respect copyright.PENANAOKAQwXTAyo
面對安德烈的詢問,我最終選擇最樸實無華的答案,「沒有。」631Please respect copyright.PENANApDADnqwIRS
631Please respect copyright.PENANAgFqn4U893k
安德烈顯然不相信我的說詞,他一臉懷疑和納悶的告訴我,最近怪物們看他的眼神不太對,就連以往和他有那麼點交情的傢伙,遇到他都保持著一定距離。631Please respect copyright.PENANAbG5Rz1eULy
631Please respect copyright.PENANAXxVU6jM3vV
「你的意思是指,怪物們排擠你?」631Please respect copyright.PENANAMkRnP75j1c
631Please respect copyright.PENANA7HPOgu8X1Z
「不,我認為應該是有什麼事發生。」631Please respect copyright.PENANArqP3uXlnHn
631Please respect copyright.PENANAt5OvhfmO42
知曉再不給安德烈一個合理交待,他或許會試著自己找出解答,我只能選了個聽似合理,但是絕對不符事實的說詞,「咳,你知道,現在是春天。」631Please respect copyright.PENANARb3NMXpPH6
631Please respect copyright.PENANAT8eEVbFywc
接下來的話不用多說,安德烈自己會有各種意會和解讀。631Please respect copyright.PENANAIqlbWjJycH
631Please respect copyright.PENANA6pMukDQTqe
豐沛的想像力與聯想力,向來是我最喜歡人類的地方,就像現在。631Please respect copyright.PENANAskqGGbCde3
