巴托羅的一家之主沒有回來,但人依然需要用餐。85Please respect copyright.PENANAABjG8S7prD
看著大塊的碎培根與溫暖的肉湯,盛著蜜酒的小杯讓拔舍巴移不開目光,眼睛睜得好像比平常要大。85Please respect copyright.PENANA8wFxwYctDI
85Please respect copyright.PENANA87WVhtaERs
把捏成球的水煮豆泥放進口中的姑方依稀覺得他吃飯時雙眼閃過微亮,試著找找話題吧。85Please respect copyright.PENANAJLtRDgqubM
85Please respect copyright.PENANARC6ol1BGRr
「整隻羔羊做肉糜是不是太多了點,沉在鍋底燉湯的要怎麼換種方式吃啊?」85Please respect copyright.PENANAoh5HaUJjRg
「吃不完可以拿出來做成肉丸子呀,我去做我去做,換換口味!」85Please respect copyright.PENANA0X8yvWlnqJ

85Please respect copyright.PENANAtUnqxOMhyo
咕嘟咕嘟,放在火爐上的湯鍋暖暖地傳出肉香,碎得無比均勻的肉糜得到了蓓塔·巴托羅的大力稱讚。85Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZiMceYEcg
85Please respect copyright.PENANALAf8bvXfyj
不靠菜刀與任何工具就能把整隻羔羊連骨帶肉一起粉碎的技術就連姑方也會驚訝了,屋主當然也在訝異之中,說著「菜刀有這麼利嗎?怎麼如此均勻?」的時候,連切蘋果都是借這家人廚具的姑方悄悄地點頭同意。85Please respect copyright.PENANA2EE7TfB2f0
85Please respect copyright.PENANAtczMse3owH
他必須減低自己使用正經術法的次數,乖巧地當個人……姑方以餘光瞥向拔舍巴。85Please respect copyright.PENANAkhcXJ0aRxd
做成肉糜更方便入口。他記得拔舍巴這麼說的當下仔細凝視手心的神情。85Please respect copyright.PENANA2ve4dyf3gb
85Please respect copyright.PENANAwa9qspVOhp
不久前,他確實用一種摸不著精度的方式施了「魔法」,精準地讓等同他上半身那個大的羔羊連骨帶肉一起粉碎,溢出的羊血也成了高湯的一部份,看這情況,他還是少點話觀察拔舍巴與蓓塔的互動為妙。85Please respect copyright.PENANABCJ1cZkgUK
85Please respect copyright.PENANAkGV1mKwAxg
對了,法術、術式、魔法、巫術……稱呼這麼多,西方這兒是用哪種稱呼來著?如此細思之餘,他發現拔舍巴雖然會主動向他人搭話,但始終沒有透露自己使用了法術的事。85Please respect copyright.PENANA2knxsXxrNk

「兩位客人,湯好了──先坐下等我吧,拔舍巴!」85Please respect copyright.PENANAOAHw88S7VQ
85Please respect copyright.PENANAR8HZbdPPhv
肉湯快好了,沉默下來的姑方若有所思,額外於蘋果盤裡也多切了點蔬菜的他暫且將自己比較想吃素的事置於一旁。反正他也沒有信教,這幾天在船上吃的乾糧、下船吃的豆湯與乾酪都略顯枯燥……要不要為了自己附身的軀體補充點蛋白質?一會兒看看食物吧。85Please respect copyright.PENANA51Wlx7AHhO
85Please respect copyright.PENANAXHhYfVmxwm
手中拿著小刀的姑方於肉湯上桌前直接坐在餐桌邊。85Please respect copyright.PENANAuhwj9AxFyP

起身與向蓓塔點頭的拔舍巴擦身而過,他要與屋主確認這蔬菜碗可不可行,低聲回應蓓塔「好,我自己走」的拔舍巴搖搖晃晃地坐去放有軟墊的位置上頭,那個軟墊是他從外面移過來的。85Please respect copyright.PENANAFZ9NngAc4e

「……蓓塔,坐。」85Please respect copyright.PENANAZOomPgG8ra
85Please respect copyright.PENANACzuEXq7hx6
姑方就坐了,他就坐在餐桌一側,靠浴室那邊,而名為蓓塔的老婦當然為方便上菜而順著廚房的方向前來,矩形的桌子、四張椅子,彷彿他跟拔舍巴直接隔了座飯菜山似地,拔舍巴的目光也不斷跟著蓓塔移動。85Please respect copyright.PENANAEkgOJHFYAl
85Please respect copyright.PENANAySQ8QTm3NK
她去廚房他就往廚房看,她往房間去就往房間看,對話還在「我幫妳」跟「不用不用」之間來回,著實刻意。85Please respect copyright.PENANAWEme9DrMbu

「噢,你真體貼!」85Please respect copyright.PENANAk9OcELJcNy
85Please respect copyright.PENANAI4K0fNGygO
不過,不知道那位失蹤的丈夫究竟是坐在餐桌邊吃飯,還是坐在二樓那間上鎖的豪華個人房裡吃飯呢?肉湯與三盤麵包菜盤一同上桌,蓓塔的歡欣已足夠證明她平時的孤獨了。這屋裡甚至沒有她跟丈夫的合照、孩子的合照……取而代之的是寢室邊羅西那一家的照片?85Please respect copyright.PENANAmz9ux2BP1C
85Please respect copyright.PENANAPeuIrm6eF5
嘴角始終上揚,眨動的眼眸一來映照溫暖的餐桌,二來映起蓓塔對他倆這來路不明的「流亡者」給出所有信任的笑容。85Please respect copyright.PENANAuptp84leWK
85Please respect copyright.PENANAxIhPavkf4N
質樸的生活與純粹的信任並不是原罪。85Please respect copyright.PENANAVLA7cQ7LAB
85Please respect copyright.PENANArIIHFsG9A4
姑方多少知道拔舍巴關照蓓塔的原因,一個無辜的生命是這麼友善,他們這些陌生人又怎捨得出言傷害來日無多的老婦呢?85Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZkfWFRJ2Q

85Please respect copyright.PENANArsXLkuTjSU
85Please respect copyright.PENANApst8WtWpq3
晚餐菜色裡,關於蔬菜的部分全都是姑方親手挑選的,主動揀選品質的姑方還不等蓓塔說出「等等,那是要做乳酪的牛奶!」就把豆泥強餵給這位頭髮斑白的老婦──反正在他眼裡都是小孩──再轉頭看向拔舍巴的用餐狀態。85Please respect copyright.PENANAFKV9PId8bX
85Please respect copyright.PENANA4RxiJGQTIH
他優雅地確認了羊肉湯的溫度,捧起自己那份湯碗小抿一口,鮮美的羊湯馬上讓拔舍巴迅速眨了眨眼。這眨眼與動搖短到只有姑方才能看見。85Please respect copyright.PENANAB9ixxZRdOk
85Please respect copyright.PENANAG7euHtdnCp

拔舍巴吃飯很安靜。85Please respect copyright.PENANAXGMVHWm1Ov
85Please respect copyright.PENANAy5Z3sVrtMh
用餐習慣不會騙人,所謂的忍耐在喜好與飢餓前也難以得勝,忍耐本就不是一種聰明的進攻方式,反而是那些擊垮理智高牆的美味肉類才是拔舍巴最該接納的敵人。在「啟示九夜」吃齋吃習慣的拔舍巴垂著眼眸,放下湯碗,掌心在唇前虛掩,似是在體會這份動搖的意義。85Please respect copyright.PENANAPRY0EIof7e

他開始吃肉。85Please respect copyright.PENANAjxmj6ZFStW
一口一個、一口一個……都是裡頭的羊肉肉糜。85Please respect copyright.PENANA4oNQFLEUD2
85Please respect copyright.PENANArQwb7Px9gL
更因那羔羊鮮嫩,姑方甚至看見湯匙上肉糜滿盈的樣子,加了蔬果的肉湯安安穩穩地與肉糜一起被送進拔舍巴的肚裡──關於拔舍巴吃相的謎題解開了,他喜歡吃肉。85Please respect copyright.PENANAMpfm49xcvG
85Please respect copyright.PENANAILDzgVjUAY
至於為什麼信教者願意在無禱告的前提下把羊肉放進嘴裡,姑方多少能從拔舍巴被當作「啟示之子」這點看出些端倪,他想必是跟著教會的餐食在走的。85Please respect copyright.PENANAvC9RN2nXnB

85Please respect copyright.PENANAMJG6dzdJC8

在拔舍巴眼前,一盤又大塊又肥潤流油的厚切培根佐甜菜根上桌了。85Please respect copyright.PENANAy6Hn2z53CY
不是兔肉、魚肉,更不是一整盤煮豌豆,而是塊現切現煎的豬肉培根。85Please respect copyright.PENANAEd26a4p3Qo

85Please respect copyright.PENANA6AYlax4agl
「不是吃肉吃得正開心嗎。」剛分享一個酥脆甜點給蓓塔的姑方自己也用手俐落地拿起一顆來吃,剛起鍋的熱燙與他粗魯的手勢與那標緻的粉色外貌形成反差,「吃一點,難吃的話大不了吐出來就好,看你吃羊肉樂成個什麼樣。」85Please respect copyright.PENANAKqoC7MDltR
85Please respect copyright.PENANAQ30cHnvUVN

85Please respect copyright.PENANAtHZHj59iDX
沒看錯下頷的活動的話,拔舍巴可能還趁他在背後沒看見時,盡他所能的張大了嘴巴(或許是在感受那充盈滿嘴的肉味也說不定)。85Please respect copyright.PENANAyPECZ95MXr
85Please respect copyright.PENANA5jOp8zkF4I
飯局上,姑方甚至覺得自己見到了拔舍巴被「啟示九夜」隱瞞起來的真貌──他們才沒認識多久就能這樣斷言嗎?這事關姑方私下見過的各種信仰──一個睜大眼睛,開始拿起餐刀勉強把大塊培根整理回盤子的吃相讓他發笑。85Please respect copyright.PENANArar7ZVH52q
85Please respect copyright.PENANArvOLC3JZ9G
真的該請畫家把拔舍巴對摺培根的樣子畫下來,說不定還能被那些教會信仰到分不清前後左右的傢伙們拿來掛在教堂頂上當宗教畫來拜,其實根本就對自己的吃相被看見這點感到羞恥吧?85Please respect copyright.PENANAZsyZR10FSP

拔舍巴報以不大自在的沉默。85Please respect copyright.PENANAUVBb2wtVYS
85Please respect copyright.PENANAI0dnKUag2r
啊哈,笑死人了,他都看見留在指尖的油痕了,看拔舍巴饕足的樣子坐在原地呆滯多時,洗碗這種工作自然也成了雙腳健在的人來負責的事,整夜沒睡好的不悅也都煙消雲散了,他斷了一條「大臂」的不悅與灼燒感自始至終都在那裡。85Please respect copyright.PENANALxZke1KQMp
85Please respect copyright.PENANA7vXvoCRats
說了一聲「我來洗碗」以後,姑方就在無盡的洗碗中陷入思考。85Please respect copyright.PENANAM2rGBMBcDQ
85Please respect copyright.PENANAk0dH9sb9Cl
逼明顯不適應的拔舍巴找自己說話也不好,那種孩子,先放著他自己適應這裡(樂園)吧,他也需要時間觀察這裡的環境。85Please respect copyright.PENANAgC0B0vp9u5
85Please respect copyright.PENANA78q90teGvB

85Please respect copyright.PENANAARX1qYVklj
85Please respect copyright.PENANAwveN3Zau5f
主跟副又有什麼差別?當然「主」比較大,「副」則像那些零星開著小花兒小新葉的枝枒,按理來說,他這人是有十足的理由在其他種族面前作弊的──就多虧他靈活,懂得彈性思考,何況他根本不是「預知(預先知道)」鯤島的歷史,而是直接被刻在身上了──這作弊機會卻在神祕的樂園真相前乾脆地泡湯去了。85Please respect copyright.PENANAYfAMoyucLU
85Please respect copyright.PENANABBoDZEAeJB
這樂園居然知道他的真身在哪兒。85Please respect copyright.PENANA2Y7qtdXGoL
……而且,以為這個「避世樂園」的空間是完全隔絕的,結果一日過去,他居然能感覺到自己與真身之間的聯繫,為什麼?85Please respect copyright.PENANAJmdza18gNY
85Please respect copyright.PENANAjdLpsre6XX
不是樂園的阻隔沒起作用,就是這樂園本身與魔法空間之類的用詞毫無關聯……抑或是同時存在多種難以靠一人管理的構成?好吧,預設人家比他強也好、預設這兒可能沒什麼創造者是徒勞無功的事,他都還沒去違背那什麼守則呢。不過若換個角度來說,樂園的成因可能是跟他(祂)類似,憑著願望與傳聞構築而成的空間也好……一切都太早了。85Please respect copyright.PENANAQLVqrv2TtH
85Please respect copyright.PENANAJMpLSxujAs
現在的「祂」沒辦法直接去分析這片樂園之地的情形,只能從甜菜根上攔截一些曾經流過的訊息,像是大地的圖書館,任何植物都能依稀追溯出些許「流亡者」的情報。85Please respect copyright.PENANAdqT7Cm8J8i

85Please respect copyright.PENANAUeX7H8T4ev
當然,姑方也不是傻子,要說這種視一切都稀鬆平常的感受如何他當然也懂,在鯤島甦醒時就已蒙受這般洗禮的他比起同理那些目光,更覺得他們莫名其妙,說真的,改一改不好嗎?都不覺得討厭嗎?他找不到共鳴對象──用人類的話來說就是「沒朋友」了。85Please respect copyright.PENANAQpB6AHsS60

85Please respect copyright.PENANAQjbotVwfYN
樂園的「參加者」竟被稱為「流亡者」這點也很讓人狐疑,可能跟「羅西娜」這位頭戴包巾的紡織家族後代有關……她的生活方式太不自然了,自己髒了一身不稀奇,稀奇的反而是她特別對一些地方保持乾淨的習慣,她太懂得「為貴族保持乾淨」了,更絲毫沒有說過最重要的事──85Please respect copyright.PENANAm6sj40eklt

85Please respect copyright.PENANAgEQVKReiFE
他很確定,就在拔舍巴跟蓓塔聊了整晚的那天早晨,他已經迅速在這房子上下搜了個遍,能搜得他都搜過了。可見她在如今這片土地的女性之間所受的待遇算好,能在小小年紀就被大戶人家看上,有這般衣食無虞的生活……但為什麼非得是年紀那麼小的時候被看上?謎底就在那個失蹤的丈夫上頭。85Please respect copyright.PENANApQgTVojXYt

85Please respect copyright.PENANALzyi2svqb7
我不是傳教士,是「聖處子」──這麼說的拔舍巴沒想到連這個遲來的「職稱」都被姑方以一句帶過:「我管你,這種稱呼會刺激對方直接把你當聖人仙女什麼的,你想要他冷靜就別把自己擺高。」85Please respect copyright.PENANAdoKUhgKE2E

終於能冷靜坐下來彼此暢談的室內,膝上還有蕾絲布的蓓塔·巴托羅是個身材圓潤但面目和善,白髮藍眼的婦人,虹膜漂亮的淡色依稀可見她過去那頭金髮的明亮與年輕時的清麗,現在則是只要一笑,她擠起來的皺紋便討喜而有效地減輕他人的不安。85Please respect copyright.PENANArwFkSMBrJg
85Please respect copyright.PENANAPoZ8BtDkes
她的形象很好,就像東方那兒每個出嫁的好姑娘一樣,差在這裡「看起來」似乎不用裹小腳跟硬性地遵從婦德爾爾。姑方暗自碎念,他也不是本地姑娘,又沒有嫁過誰,不知道這些很正常──但嘴上問這些問題就奇怪了。85Please respect copyright.PENANAAXxwpMBBkO
85Please respect copyright.PENANAFOk9giPrwH

簡直是姑方生氣,但姑方不說……有些人又是那種警戒心強的,除非你跟他/她相處老久,磨合老久才肯正常跟你說話的類型,唉呀,人類怎麼非要這麼脆弱啊?發現蓓塔對宗教信仰、「傳教士」與地名之類的字眼一概不知,姑方認為再怎麼文盲,其實多少都知道外頭正在打仗的事實才是。85Please respect copyright.PENANA7oHfsamgJC

「居然不知道奧地利,老天,是一個很遠又很大的地方!然後會有信仰,信仰神,『神』……你知道的,就是一個全知全能,得天獨厚的存在!人們聚集起來雕刻祂們的雕像,放在一棟大房子的中央,那就叫『教堂』。」85Please respect copyright.PENANAgGd28mL313
85Please respect copyright.PENANARJea3KHz5Y
「唉呀?『神』?『雕像』?……『神像』的話,我記得是森林裡有廢棄的,古堡裡也只有裝飾用的……教堂不是那些有流亡者聚集的地方嗎?」85Please respect copyright.PENANAVDA3YhogNa

「噢?」85Please respect copyright.PENANAAeKFe9sqRx
85Please respect copyright.PENANA5LIKzvQ3Ew
外頭的教堂也時常收留孤兒什麼的,蓓塔要這麼說好像也不奇怪。姑方誇張地睜大眼睛。85Please respect copyright.PENANAITHXRm3LGU
85Please respect copyright.PENANAOt46MwSNsI
他沒有漏聽那個「廢棄的三尊王八」這條情報,慶幸神像不會因為他心裡忍不住憤怒的羞辱而站起來打人吧。同理,梅花也不會因為有個小屁孩拿祂的樹幹抓癢而突然用樹枝揍人。85Please respect copyright.PENANAAxbSeuTS1E

85Please respect copyright.PENANAu5wYjMy2Nt
蓓塔順著成為接話人,給他們這兩位「流亡者」上來就剝了家族皮的蓓塔也沒再掩飾自己的家族身分,不過,對這些陌生事與其說表現新鮮,不如說是滿臉的不適應。85Please respect copyright.PENANANw709EFK9j
85Please respect copyright.PENANANNooSNDTXF
她沒有要歧視兩位體貼,長得又好看,還會幫她分擔家務,誇她手藝很好的仙女──對,所以她只是「不適應」而已,不適應到一個程度,臉上還清晰表現了「他們說的話好奇怪」的樣子。85Please respect copyright.PENANAeugpt05aAU
85Please respect copyright.PENANAfB2n5JdJoE
是多狹隘的生活才會讓一個出身不錯的女士長過五十年還不知道,她對姑方與拔舍巴的信賴關係已經太過完美。85Please respect copyright.PENANAWeepBXOXV7

來到樂園的第二個夜晚,坐在窗邊的姑方看著依舊用臀部枕起羊毛軟墊椅的拔舍巴,這還是他們一開始待的那間寢室,也是蓓塔·巴托羅這個本應得到好待遇的女主人的臥房,至於這裡到底是臥房還是客房?從破舊程度與陳列在這兒的四張單人床來看,答案明顯是後者。 85Please respect copyright.PENANAbUhEtKmdn3
85Please respect copyright.PENANAJhYAQkmyqZ
說自己睡客房睡習慣了,從結婚到現在都是這樣,果不其然,不明白教堂、信仰與地名之類字眼的她連結婚都是男方直接找上門來,挑著就帶走的類型,她被帶走的那年連十歲都不到,很久才能見一次家人,之後更是連家都不用回了──畢竟那一家女兒全都被嫁出去了。85Please respect copyright.PENANArmx8c18Wv7
85Please respect copyright.PENANAcicdLPX45L
他們還額外知道一件事,就是:「按傳統而論,她們那樣被詛咒的家庭是沒辦法離開宅邸的,除非男方越過重重難關進來求親,才可能有徹底離開宅邸的希望。」即使她們家族說代代的針線活都做得爐火純青,可以賣好價錢吧,姑方合理懷疑這其中有買賣女性的嫌疑。85Please respect copyright.PENANAOMH3NUloYV
85Please respect copyright.PENANAgvllK7lWjm

85Please respect copyright.PENANAV8gWkPNsfM
同樣是一夜沒闔眼,拔舍巴看上去比他冷靜許多,姑方除了第一夜是痛昏以外,隨時打個盹都要被這大地帶來的詭譎感侵襲,看著這坐姿端正,雙手疊在大腿上的拔舍巴,姑方揚眉。85Please respect copyright.PENANANBviPFBTP4
85Please respect copyright.PENANA8GTEjT7e4T
毯子?85Please respect copyright.PENANAlhkroDVmzG
85Please respect copyright.PENANAnZJL6RO6lc

85Please respect copyright.PENANARILdBNPBGk
「……」85Please respect copyright.PENANAd8PGG0hqg0
85Please respect copyright.PENANALP3DG16umd
這大概是他難得有發言機會的時候了──興許是有些被這簡短的回問惹得一愣,靜靜地凝視地板的拔舍巴向姑方抬眸,襯著月光與外頭拂來的微風,淡粉色的短髮散開的模樣讓拔舍巴思考迷濛。85Please respect copyright.PENANAEzW19x9KNw

85Please respect copyright.PENANA6kAJfHZUP0
他想起了在教堂時看見的火海。85Please respect copyright.PENANA6g5FyTxm6j
85Please respect copyright.PENANAwdrbttiyhw
直覺告訴他這個人就是他看見的身影……可這個人明顯跟他的白晝夢又有差異,他看不出他臉上的悲傷,也不覺得這個人是與自己相近的同伴。不久前,把注意力從姑方身上移開的他聽聞蓓塔要給他們都做毯子時,姑方還堅持用姑方自己提的水在廚房裡洗碗。85Please respect copyright.PENANASy5qwSFFRr
85Please respect copyright.PENANAep8r5pHkxM
「啊──是因為這裡床髒嗎,也是,乾淨的水本來就少了,比起洗東西他們當然會先選擇做新的……怎麼,幹嘛這樣看我,你要我付她錢啊?」85Please respect copyright.PENANAJYOUtFDaJI
85Please respect copyright.PENANAHvX4ebPjVx
他沒有聽到毯子的事情也是自然。85Please respect copyright.PENANADRBVE1rIAJ
85Please respect copyright.PENANAnpRCNoLbcr
「……說是工作的禮物,財務不全是她主管的,她只有有限的生活費。」憶起對方在餐桌前毫不留情面地道破他的喜好,從沒想過要說出「喜歡」的拔舍巴只覺得那些詞彙冗贅至極,「有……會比較好。」85Please respect copyright.PENANAg8xYSnkCvI
85Please respect copyright.PENANAzoedFYwS7L

85Please respect copyright.PENANABmsdWthskT
85Please respect copyright.PENANAVWfFyfpijI
他是被欺負的,被當作祭品的,被欺凌至此也不懂反抗的孩子。85Please respect copyright.PENANAczTyUOHEsH
「祭品」總是與死亡相伴。在他僅存的「記憶」裡,他不知那處被人稱作幽冥,更不知那些亡魂眼窩裡的恭敬與他吐露的安寧被稱作「安息」。85Please respect copyright.PENANACstlYvAl23
85Please respect copyright.PENANAaputOMvfRu
85Please respect copyright.PENANA9xelQoROrD
他記得的同時也並不記得,因他並不完整,也從未與其他同伴相知相惜──或許某個屬於人的千年過去,他會因此消逝?他(拔舍巴)對自己未來的命運沒有頭緒,只覺模糊不清。85Please respect copyright.PENANA304GMe0Pay
85Please respect copyright.PENANAQQWq5bggFV
85Please respect copyright.PENANA0T1XNgEgxN
可是,「主教」說的話是真實的。85Please respect copyright.PENANAA7UvJqUxpv
那是他在「啟示九夜」第一個對上眼的人,也是頭一回會靠近他,關心他,叮嚀他要懂得照顧自己的人,他沒有說錯,拔舍巴確實感覺到自己的身驅正在這短暫的年頭裡化為粉碎。85Please respect copyright.PENANA0iDYGB7K9I

85Please respect copyright.PENANAd1IrCLnEPC
85Please respect copyright.PENANABrRmuxm98b
拔舍巴的思考被撞擊聲打斷了,那聲撞擊的源頭來自姑方,忽然從窗台向室內跳下來的他突然往外伸長了脖子,右手搥打起牆壁,他出口的語調明顯有異,噴水池?是,這方向確實是噴水池,早上蓓塔也是從這個方向去買羊毛回來的。85Please respect copyright.PENANAaaChFElu47
85Please respect copyright.PENANAX3lgz6DEcj
「……是。」85Please respect copyright.PENANARTB6HNw7kU

有人被殺了。在這入夜的樂園,存在「守則」的樂園。85Please respect copyright.PENANA06UwuWgoe2
85Please respect copyright.PENANAmCdRUOtaSH
一陣粉亮的微光從眼前掠過,注意到那是緊繃專注的姑方在朝尖叫源頭凝視而順帶溢出的魔力,這是人類無法聽見的距離,雖然反應比姑方遲了一些,拔舍巴也能清楚聽見明顯帶高低起伏的尖叫與呻吟。85Please respect copyright.PENANA3w1LbplxcX
85Please respect copyright.PENANAkQCeJa1jut
「不能輕舉妄動。」姑方倏然開口,一副認為拔舍巴要出去查看狀況的樣子, 「你都聽到了,顯然耳朵還很清楚,不介意我問你個問題吧?拔舍巴。」85Please respect copyright.PENANAox8lhu8dG1

85Please respect copyright.PENANAAO2qNn8d3I
他記不清。85Please respect copyright.PENANA5AVKK1fAi5
85Please respect copyright.PENANArfQIq9qT4E
明明每個命令都清楚記得,去軍營協助消滅敵軍、去宮殿處決罪人……諸多命令下,最多則是「女巫」的肅清,但是,在目標地總是會出現死者之外的聲音。連那些聲音是袒護女巫還是憎惡女巫都不曉得,記憶裡一片泥濘。85Please respect copyright.PENANAKEtk0g2WIR
85Please respect copyright.PENANAFlFawGhFtv
他也知道確實有死者被當作祭品,可是,是什麼儀式,又需要多少人命?拔舍巴不曉得。85Please respect copyright.PENANAuImXSTJn8F

85Please respect copyright.PENANAE2g92wJlAB
拔舍巴直視那雙被月光襯得粉亮的眼眸,恍惚地提醒他「莊園正在發生什麼」的違和感仍在那裡,他其實沒辦法外出了──不只丟了一隻眼睛,傷口疼痛,失去視覺的影響比他想像中要大,即使姑方表現得像是要他出去調查,拔舍巴也毫無辦法。85Please respect copyright.PENANASjsZscDzDW
85Please respect copyright.PENANA6A9HCVDhxG
如同那個生死問題──在「啟示九夜」丈量生死的人從來不是他。85Please respect copyright.PENANA5FPOtZSYpm

看著他的表情變化、觀察拔舍巴身上閉鎖的循環,再這樣下去這軀殼還能支撐多久?對於拔舍巴,姑方僅僅知道拔舍巴是教團的中心人物,他的軀殼十之八九是被做壞的「次級品」。85Please respect copyright.PENANACeArsxz5be
85Please respect copyright.PENANAZkqSgtTz11
但姑方看得出拔舍巴的反應並非無知。85Please respect copyright.PENANADvL6bY7k96

或許拔舍巴依稀記得他自己該是什麼樣子。85Please respect copyright.PENANAE2ni8e49cP
85Please respect copyright.PENANAK4hW9SOv1o
他的能力、他的種族、他的心願、他的過去、職責、希望與悲慟……這些無疑都被人類給奪走,只留下義務性的疼痛。85Please respect copyright.PENANACTYHZlht8O

拔舍巴有意識到嗎?85Please respect copyright.PENANAWsRRXWibUo

85Please respect copyright.PENANAfUZ7LQ61ln
一夜難眠的姑方不指望這夜也能好睡,這細皮嫩肉的傢伙(拔舍巴)大概也在等一條乾淨的毯子,樂園入夜又實施宵禁,黃昏的閒話家常裡,蓓塔也有透露她嚴守宵禁,百般勸他們不要在晚上出門的當下,在房裡直接用一輪治療叫拔舍巴「陪自己出門」(也是因為這樣他才說自己是誘拐兒童)的姑方轉頭確認他的情況。85Please respect copyright.PENANAD39urCCUhR

85Please respect copyright.PENANABfL4HUEjaM
經過姑方幫助,光是「稍微比平常不痛些許」就讓拔舍巴有股健步如飛的感受,就算被姑方念了一句「我沒辦法完全治好你,你走那麼快幹甚」,拔舍巴也補了一句「我沒問題」。85Please respect copyright.PENANAZk6PMwZHoc
85Please respect copyright.PENANAQSBfQbriJ6

對拔舍巴來說特別神奇的部分則是與人正常地並肩走路,即使還是需要一點攙扶,這攙扶也不是因雙腿的問題,而是因為他的眼睛。85Please respect copyright.PENANALB3KzsNB0R

「嗯……」85Please respect copyright.PENANAntF92Vj5sB
85Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZET71RBJ7
甚至不用回頭看就能感應到拔舍巴眼神的姑方輕笑一聲,用其他話題來轉移他自個兒對小祭壇的注意力這點也差不多是極限了,死絕的嚎叫把這裡惹得烏煙瘴氣,跟那個引渡人划船的小河有得一拚。85Please respect copyright.PENANAHDLcLDzhAu

85Please respect copyright.PENANAkhxV5wZlvo
反之,一直藉由凝視姑方──他畢竟是拔舍巴視野裡最亮的那人──來感知周圍的拔舍巴其實比姑方想像中專注,看上去姑方也是用手勢施法的。兩指豎於唇前,粉亮柔軟的髮絲與眼眸竟顯得多出幾分戾氣,施咒附加結界的他語氣沉重,那聲聲話語還是誇張地彷彿要把他的字句都刻進人耳膜一般──85Please respect copyright.PENANAoXJUGtzGrm
