葛莉莎拖著小巧的行李箱躍下火車,稍稍調整背包的肩帶,一面往車站出口走去。車站外,大理石塊鋪成的觀光道路跑過幾個玩球的孩子,嬉鬧聲繞過葛莉莎及肩的金髮,穿入耳裡。88Please respect copyright.PENANA8BfVMY7nLd
「真好,真是個有活力的地方,難得的休假果然來這裡最好。」葛莉莎碧藍的眼底滿意地審視著四周。一位白髮男子走來。88Please respect copyright.PENANAxejVMQLkAu
「您是葛莉莎‧梅塔嗎?」白髮男子彎著身子問道。
「我是,請問你……」88Please respect copyright.PENANADU8yDZGrXA
「我是鄉元旅館的接待員。」白髮男子微微鞠躬說道。「由我負責帶您至旅館歇息……請問您的行李?」男子伸出手,葛莉莎順著手勢看向自己身後。88Please respect copyright.PENANArgPeWq1Ymb
「喔喔,我自己拿就可以了,謝謝你。」葛莉莎搖搖頭,婉拒了接待員的好意。88Please respect copyright.PENANAJFsu6UfILU
「好的,那請這邊請。」
88Please respect copyright.PENANAEGrr54nQm3
葛莉莎和接待員來到一幢三層樓的平房前,若不是門旁放置的木牌寫著『鄉元館』,還真看不出這是間旅社。88Please respect copyright.PENANASEKGrjuxyI
88Please respect copyright.PENANAqmLcpV41d2
「無法提供專車接送服務,真的非常抱歉……」接待員將旅社的木門推開,一面說道。88Please respect copyright.PENANAf1zlbfHPdl
「喔,別介意別介……」「歡迎光臨!」精神的女聲打斷葛莉莎的話語。88Please respect copyright.PENANAFYBvlAQCrV
順聲看去,櫃檯前站著三位身著圍裙的長髮女子。88Please respect copyright.PENANAscGg1DHPU8
88Please respect copyright.PENANAho3CIntvt1
話被打斷的葛莉絲有些錯愕,禮貌地點頭回應後跟著接待員往樓梯走去。走過櫃檯邊時,葛莉莎察覺到一絲詭譎的氛圍。葛莉莎瞥過離自己最近的女子,胸前的名牌寫著「惠美」。88Please respect copyright.PENANAv7gaX5GJwc
惠美瞪大著眼睛,直盯著葛莉莎瞧。或許是因為戴著口罩,讓惠美那雙黑白分明的大眼在三個女子中更顯突出。又或著是因為……只有惠美一個人的眼睛是睜開的。88Please respect copyright.PENANAit5udpInrI
葛莉莎疑惑之餘,往惠美的身後看了一眼。依離自己遠近順序來看,分別是惠美、惠晴和惠蓉。最末的惠蓉閉著眼微笑著,而中間的惠晴閉著眼、歪著脖子,像是在傾聽什麼。88Please respect copyright.PENANAhJZEmuafvr
88Please respect copyright.PENANAjDbPSpIqOU
「這邊請。」接待員阻斷了葛莉莎的狐疑,側身示意葛莉莎往樓梯上走。88Please respect copyright.PENANAOLTva3Givl
88Please respect copyright.PENANAJhKPUoo80O
二樓的住房門前,接待員拿出登記本請葛莉莎簽名。88Please respect copyright.PENANAxMh9qzbOxJ
「剛剛的服務生是親姊妹嗎?」葛莉莎一面簽上美感十足的姓名一面問道。88Please respect copyright.PENANA423uq4aC1E
「是……」接待員從懷中拿出鑰匙。「她們的母親在懷孕時吸毒,所以她們都有些殘疾……」88Please respect copyright.PENANAiuc8QGFJWH
88Please respect copyright.PENANAzIAcx6umzj
「喀啦。」房門的聲響聽起來有些陳舊,接待員將房間作了簡單的介紹後,將鑰匙交由葛莉絲保管,準備離開房間。88Please respect copyright.PENANA5GJI2tsda5
88Please respect copyright.PENANAtP6HjYKOj5
「呃……如果可以,請您不要對那三姊妹太好奇……」接待員站在半開的房門前,背對著葛莉莎說道。88Please respect copyright.PENANAFknkTtFsTy
「……晚上盡量別出門,注意自身安全……」葛莉莎正想回話,接待員卻快步離開房間,留下一臉疑惑的葛莉莎。88Please respect copyright.PENANAnmZ7TqNJUe
88Please respect copyright.PENANAhdFoC5v9fa
88Please respect copyright.PENANAh6xNr8HIyd
將行李稍微整頓了一下,葛莉莎背著球型的隨身背包出門。88Please respect copyright.PENANACHS1TbLm5f
小鎮的街上鮮少車輛通過,鋪石的大街上多是嬉戲的小孩和悠閒談天的老人,路邊商店絕大多數都是販賣觀光紀念品的商店,葛莉莎喜歡這樣歐式悠閒的氛圍,抱著剛出爐的蜂蜜可頌轉圈跳著舞。88Please respect copyright.PENANA5CrEBSb0xb
88Please respect copyright.PENANA11bpQjKJCk
「碰!」身後傳來飽滿的聲響。88Please respect copyright.PENANAC5AcRqK82x
88Please respect copyright.PENANARev2YyPJeU
葛莉莎轉過頭,一顆籃球正往自己的臉龐飛來。葛莉莎右手一拍,阻截了不知從何而來的長傳。88Please respect copyright.PENANAOBWTNLc6fI
「大姊姊!能不能幫忙把球丟過來!」不遠處的空地,戴著鴨舌帽的男孩高舉雙手大喊。88Please respect copyright.PENANAvinsApMHpo
葛莉絲調皮地笑了一下,蹲低身子,球向空中一擲。脫手的球在空中劃出完美的圓弧,唰地落入男孩身後的籃框。葛莉莎滿意的笑了笑,一面將可頌塞進嘴裡。88Please respect copyright.PENANATsln4AHLdW
88Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3ZjbxHhwZ
「哇……」鴨舌帽男孩張大著嘴巴向葛莉莎跑來,身後跟著幾個一起打球的孩子。88Please respect copyright.PENANANVpTOCRan7
「姊姊妳是外地人嗎?沒有看過妳耶。」「姊姊妳好厲害!」「可以教我們打球嗎?」葛莉莎一一回應孩童們熱情的提問,像是明星一般被擁戴著。88Please respect copyright.PENANArZkjkOFBQ4
88Please respect copyright.PENANAueCBnIFLKi
「姊姊是住在鄉元旅館嗎?」最末走來的男孩抱著葛莉莎投出的籃球問道。令葛莉莎疑惑的是這個問題一提出,孩子們的聲音明顯小了很多。88Please respect copyright.PENANA3b8d3wDggD
88Please respect copyright.PENANAQdZNKo4wZ5
「是啊,怎麼了嗎?」88Please respect copyright.PENANAjxHhRCZGRF
隨著葛莉莎的回答,孩童們的表情僵住了幾秒,接著竊竊私語地互相討論著什麼祕密。88Please respect copyright.PENANAVxf1kjOEgJ
88Please respect copyright.PENANAN81u02jL2B
「嗯?怎麼了?能不能說給姊姊聽。」葛莉莎不解地問。88Please respect copyright.PENANATftt4vR2gP
88Please respect copyright.PENANAXdUvFNoVp9
「……」孩童們神秘兮兮地看著葛莉莎,說道:「很恐怖,不要問。」88Please respect copyright.PENANAVSsOT9rZpO
88Please respect copyright.PENANABHjTIei69h
葛莉莎看著孩童們似笑非笑的表情,想著這個世代的孩子可能在網路上又學了甚麼新奇的用語吧。88Please respect copyright.PENANAcpQ9ymhDkg
88Please respect copyright.PENANAEHCKRZeWvN
「大姊姊的背包好特別,是裝什麼啊?」方才提問的男孩指著葛莉莎身後的球型背包問道。88Please respect copyright.PENANAcs4D8oZkyc
88Please respect copyright.PENANA5LySzpeure
「……很恐怖,不要問。」
88Please respect copyright.PENANACKXcOwfHLB
葛莉莎的玩笑話嚇走了孩童們的笑容。沒想到這句話會造成那麼大的影響,葛莉莎馬上改口。88Please respect copyright.PENANAfmGzcW4gXC
「沒有啦!這是我媽媽送我的禮物,姊姊也很愛玩籃球,以前是校隊喔!」
88Please respect copyright.PENANAfR0th3qh0o
孩童聽到這句才重新展露笑容說,繼續先前的籃球話題。葛莉莎看著孩子們爭先恐後問話地表情,一面思索那句看似平常的話中含有的義意。88Please respect copyright.PENANAjLPeWQlgtj
88Please respect copyright.PENANAtCRYCZVKea
88Please respect copyright.PENANALRxMAVsFfV
天色漸暗,葛莉莎和孩童們道別後回到旅館。88Please respect copyright.PENANAJlZ4lmou75
正到了吃晚飯的時間,葛莉莎看見正在打掃櫃檯的女服務生,從胸口名牌知道她是惠蓉。
88Please respect copyright.PENANAwe4h3KeuiD
「不好意思,惠蓉,請問餐廳怎麼走?」葛莉莎上前詢問。88Please respect copyright.PENANAIOUw8UPd62
88Please respect copyright.PENANAlvVqZvfG59
惠蓉沒有回答,低著頭忙著自己的事。葛莉莎正感到奇怪時,惠晴從櫃檯後的小門鑽出,握住惠蓉的手。88Please respect copyright.PENANAsl41J9Wl0b
88Please respect copyright.PENANASzUWimrEo9
「對不起對不起!」惠蓉抬起頭說道。「左邊通道走到底右轉就是了。」88Please respect copyright.PENANAQNs6pkJcJz
88Please respect copyright.PENANAJuLr2nyxbY
「……謝謝。」看著閉著眼睛的兩人,葛莉莎雖然感覺奇怪,但沒有多問。88Please respect copyright.PENANASAYZhniiGM
88Please respect copyright.PENANAIlR0MJ2Myz
「怎麼那麼慢,難得有單身的客人上門,用心一點好嗎?啊,算了!反正明天就要交換了……」走往餐廳的路上,葛莉莎聽見惠蓉責備的聲音。88Please respect copyright.PENANAOWePsK4ymQ
88Please respect copyright.PENANA6CTBFl5WWc
葛莉莎心中的疑惑越來越多,但想起接待員的警告,只好壓下心中的好奇迅速吃完晚飯。88Please respect copyright.PENANAquXJ0NS3w7
88Please respect copyright.PENANA6AX0jqAr8g
88Please respect copyright.PENANAXesUYOoxhb
葛莉莎將旅遊的筆記整理上傳後拿出日記本準備書寫。88Please respect copyright.PENANAhR1pmftlWu
「是味精嗎?」葛莉莎突然覺得口渴,拿起冰箱櫃子上的水壺倒了杯水給自己。88Please respect copyright.PENANA45iniYsWjA
「嗚!這!這……」才吞進喉嚨,葛莉莎便覺得神智恍惚,眼前逐漸昏暗……88Please respect copyright.PENANA1TjyWidolB
88Please respect copyright.PENANAImcMvTgN9B
88Please respect copyright.PENANALUPJuMDTh0
88Please respect copyright.PENANAHJd4OYt4Uq
「嗯哼哼,一定很好吃……」昏沉之際,葛莉莎依稀聽見惠蓉的聲音哼著歌。88Please respect copyright.PENANAxyJF9f1FZH
88Please respect copyright.PENANANOhT3B2dDT
勉強地張開眼睛,葛莉莎看著頭上的天花板。「咦?」葛莉莎仔細地看了一下,發現那不是花紋,比較像是乾掉的墨水……或是血跡。88Please respect copyright.PENANACI6Rquk8VO
「妳醒啦!」惠蓉的聲音傳來。88Please respect copyright.PENANAF4WbSTQ22h
88Please respect copyright.PENANA3cCBl2iRB3
「這裡……」葛莉莎正想起身,卻發現自己的身體動彈不得。低頭一看,才發現全身已被剝得赤裸,手腳都被麻繩綁上椅子。88Please respect copyright.PENANAsjkkd4ENNE
88Please respect copyright.PENANAK84jB1HglV
「這是怎麼回事!」葛莉莎驚恐地大叫,椅子的腳在地上磨出尖銳的高音。88Please respect copyright.PENANA44amlgK9sA
88Please respect copyright.PENANAQlRsCQUyx8
「這個嘛……晚點在叫惠晴跟妳解釋好了!」惠蓉一面在砧板上切著肉塊一面說道。88Please respect copyright.PENANAd4dMc41Tzy
葛莉莎皺著眉,瞇起眼睛,總覺得哪裡不太對勁。88Please respect copyright.PENANAPTHGEMGGMt
88Please respect copyright.PENANAmAtkCNQXQK
88Please respect copyright.PENANAKBN4A37pXl
是因為惠蓉閉著眼睛切菜?還是惠蓉閉著眼睛、面向著我還能切菜?88Please respect copyright.PENANArODMEZBxrc
88Please respect copyright.PENANAeSCfdaGUTm
還是因為這個廚房根本就像是屠宰場一樣,到處都是血痕?88Please respect copyright.PENANA8kt56aH70W
88Please respect copyright.PENANAlJfpwUrmdW
還是因為砧板上放的是一條孩童的腿!88Please respect copyright.PENANAQEcCc5wkWE
88Please respect copyright.PENANAVlCgtJBBVC
88Please respect copyright.PENANAd0DnbTpz15
「嗚噁!」葛莉莎本想用手摀住嘴不讓穢物嘔出,但此刻的她並辦不到,幾點稀釋過的胃酸從嘴角滴出。88Please respect copyright.PENANACwdo4RBZ3h
88Please respect copyright.PENANAqj8L9r3fT0
戴著口罩的惠美牽著惠蓉,走向葛莉莎身旁的冰箱,拿出一顆包著保鮮膜的男孩頭顱,從已經敲開的腦殼中挖出幾勺豆腐狀的東西,丟進鍋裏燉煮。88Please respect copyright.PENANAi4vej9HUSm
88Please respect copyright.PENANA8hicroYwrs
「噁!」聞到那和晚餐同樣的香味,葛莉莎毫不保留地將剛吃下的晚餐從胃袋裏翻出。88Please respect copyright.PENANAKLcnwEFnAh
「哎呀,真髒,不過沒關係,洗一下就可以了。」惠蓉不在意地說著,轉頭對看著鏡子發呆的惠晴說道:「過十二點了,可以換了。」88Please respect copyright.PENANAVTAOkJL9LV
88Please respect copyright.PENANArfae3f8YK8
「哧!」一道血柱噴上葛莉莎的臉龐。88Please respect copyright.PENANA5Hd7oCn6jr
惠美將菜刀戳進惠晴的太陽穴,喀啦喀啦地將惠晴整個耳部挖下。惠蓉在一旁興奮的等待,臉上滿是惠晴噴濺出的鮮血。88Please respect copyright.PENANAloC0edDTAY
88Please respect copyright.PENANAZumN7TDiAm
惠美撩起長髮,原本應該是耳朵的地方被兩個深邃的窟窿取代。將從惠晴身上挖出的組織拿起,惠美對著鏡子仔細地將組織塞進側腦的窟窿中。88Please respect copyright.PENANAEMQVVdzJOO
88Please respect copyright.PENANAHvbWrX5eVF
耳朵的組織填充完畢,惠美將自己的右眼挖出,,撐開惠蓉的眼皮,將自己的眼珠塞進惠蓉本來該是眼睛的窟窿。88Please respect copyright.PENANAayW6dj36Il
「啊啊,看得見了。剩下的我自己來吧……」惠蓉開心地說道,一面伸手挖出惠美的左眼,塞進另一邊的窟窿。88Please respect copyright.PENANAuK4dH2ISRT
88Please respect copyright.PENANAGjlb4xKJaG
「惠晴,換你囉。」惠蓉語畢,將切肉用的大剪刀塞進嘴裏,哧地剪下自己的舌頭交給惠晴。惠晴接過血淋淋的舌頭後放入嘴裏嚼動了一會……88Please respect copyright.PENANA9mGPOTz2xD
88Please respect copyright.PENANAQEh7Epy8qP
「啊哈!可以講話了!」88Please respect copyright.PENANAVcw4bnYzub
88Please respect copyright.PENANATN3FXuiznx
看著三胞胎不到五分鐘的就完成的器官交換過程,葛莉莎幾乎暈厥……88Please respect copyright.PENANA2PGV0CyZQp
88Please respect copyright.PENANAt0QIvbwJWL
「每次交換完都好餓喔,要開始料理了嗎?」惠晴問完,惠蓉便帶著三人開心地牽著手,往葛莉莎的方向走來。88Please respect copyright.PENANAcReJXVtcpv
88Please respect copyright.PENANA6lecOr9CpH
「不!不!妳們別過來……」「咚!」88Please respect copyright.PENANAQCQOUEvV3b
葛莉莎扭動著想向後退,椅腳些微地移動,在自己散亂的衣服堆中撞到了被棄置一旁的球型背包。88Please respect copyright.PENANAr4UJ9dRpSn
88Please respect copyright.PENANAtk8VVCVtbX
背包中滾出一顆金髮的女人頭顱。88Please respect copyright.PENANABpO4F2bhvC
88Please respect copyright.PENANAnlRIFMpGiP
惠蓉疑惑地看著葛莉莎,伸出手想將滾出的頭顱拾起。頭顱的髮絲蠕動了起來,眼裏閃出白光,逐漸強烈。惠蓉感覺自己的肌膚一吋吋僵硬了起來……88Please respect copyright.PENANAVeO8GKMOFc
88Please respect copyright.PENANACGkJLxq4AY
「不!媽,別這樣!是我自己不小心!妳不要這樣!」88Please respect copyright.PENANA4lPg8siJFM
88Please respect copyright.PENANAzgHTdhbkor
葛莉莎竭力地喊著,刺眼的白光吞噬了整個小鎮……88Please respect copyright.PENANA8OndntQplx
88Please respect copyright.PENANAay4KryLwfJ
88Please respect copyright.PENANAQLUmJbjvoG
88Please respect copyright.PENANAbcASj1B8TV
寂靜的清晨,葛莉莎收拾好行李。向接待員石像道了再見,繞過旅館門口蹲坐的石像,準備前往下一個旅程。88Please respect copyright.PENANAcF0RvJaZVu
昨日玩球的空地散落著一尊碎開的石像,看來是從籃框左右的高度掉下摔碎似的。88Please respect copyright.PENANARfH4I3w8ev
「真對不起,你應該練很久才能灌到籃的吧。」葛莉莎有些歉疚地鞠躬說道,一面跨過路旁野狗的石像。88Please respect copyright.PENANAAPSc7nPxrP
88Please respect copyright.PENANAzDUGI1c5yW
穿過大街上散置幾對像是情人的石像,葛莉莎惋惜地環顧著昨天還生氣蓬勃的小鎮,向車站走去。88Please respect copyright.PENANAeqtdstpH6S
88Please respect copyright.PENANA1zVaKGVesg
「媽,你每次都這樣,我是要帶妳出來玩的呢,妳這樣熱鬧的地方會一個一個消失掉啦,看來也只有奇夢商店街那種怪地方才有辦法應付你……」但背包沒有任何回應。88Please respect copyright.PENANAAYvCyJHuCe
88Please respect copyright.PENANAzeoHLJa5XF
火車慢慢地駛進站。88Please respect copyright.PENANAOURuMDCBWW
88Please respect copyright.PENANAgKsPZFr9Tn
「嗯?奇怪,只有你嗎?」車掌覺得今天的乘客少得驚人,不解地問:「今天鎮上怎麼感覺特別安靜,有發生什麼事情嗎?」88Please respect copyright.PENANA1oX1aDxVbi
88Please respect copyright.PENANA4Iz0mtBNB8
葛莉莎跳上車,調皮地吐著小舌頭說道:88Please respect copyright.PENANAtSBfzwyV5n
88Please respect copyright.PENANAPv1NkfOo57
「很恐怖,不要問。」
88Please respect copyright.PENANAWlZkIuUEZb
