升降機的人聲廣播,打斷了我對禮哥的回答。抵達終點的升降機微微晃動,然後升降機門徐徐打開,像拉開帷幕的向我們呈現背後的大片漆黑,只有地板一一部份反射著微弱的白光,似乎是來自右方遠處。對了,我們現在身處的,應該就是一開始的地下大堂。547Please respect copyright.PENANA4rjHCaxcgI
547Please respect copyright.PENANAWP9qnDOlIx
我們小心翼翼的踏出升降機,為免發出任何聲響,踏步的速度亦減至最慢。我們緊靠著升降機大堂的「L」形牆壁移動,在光源前的轉角停下。547Please respect copyright.PENANAtpdeheauT4

──先窺探外面環境。547Please respect copyright.PENANA7yphyG6Ug2
547Please respect copyright.PENANAGRPjGnRbzN
──直接探頭出去很危險。547Please respect copyright.PENANAgcDf5AuAVf
547Please respect copyright.PENANAPOJUkua2qw
──那麼把手機鏡頭從牆角底探出去,應該沒那麼顯眼。547Please respect copyright.PENANAfYwYmkeuZO
547Please respect copyright.PENANA8LhVJWxP5J
──就這樣。547Please respect copyright.PENANAUMFCRxE8g7
547Please respect copyright.PENANAhCN6WyUEHT
托陽戰戰兢兢的取出手機並蹲下身子,小心翼翼的將手機的頂部探出牆角,以接收外面的影像,在旁的其他人全神貫注於那手掌大小的屏幕。547Please respect copyright.PENANAXAEKjncLEb

「......喂,怎麼好像有一陣怪味?你們嗅到嗎?」547Please respect copyright.PENANAUr4ppmxYwd
547Please respect copyright.PENANAu9VhgbqSfe
義叔鬼祟的低喃,經他這樣一說,似乎真有其事。一開始沒為意這種氣味,可能是因為這種味道之前已經嗅過,不經不覺間連自己居然適應了也不自覺。這種氣味,就是沒多久前,在控制室,還有商務局--547Please respect copyright.PENANALgg7gbfR35
547Please respect copyright.PENANA1pUpSxvteT
「嗚!......呃!呃......」547Please respect copyright.PENANAl1TEt2gVVJ
547Please respect copyright.PENANA8xZInPnWrZ
托陽突然甩掉手機,雙手按地俯伏著身子,看起來痛苦萬分。禮哥隨即拾起手機,繼續窺探外面,然而耳機突然傳來一段陌生的訊息──547Please respect copyright.PENANAGppdV6Lk0Z
547Please respect copyright.PENANA7jP8bOzXDk
──投降吧,你們已經被包圍了。547Please respect copyright.PENANAVlxvXOH9cR
547Please respect copyright.PENANAgV0j3yRZMi
是誰!?依托陽所言,這幢大樓範圍之內,除了我們這一組耳機,其他通訊裝置的訊息都已被干擾無法運作。能夠透過耳機向我們傳訊的,應該就只有目及範圍內的人,但這種訊息根本就不可能由我們發出的。547Please respect copyright.PENANAixZ2Gz8HVF
547Please respect copyright.PENANA4N0bw5n36M
──是阿智嗎,你最後還是要令我們失望。547Please respect copyright.PENANA322qJw9ent
547Please respect copyright.PENANA1a6jTGwQoL
──抱歉,但這是沒法子的事。547Please respect copyright.PENANA8Nmn4UHUG6
547Please respect copyright.PENANAuEJbLi8xvi
禮哥發出惆悵的低吟,「這傢伙果然被收編了......」他退回牆內,然後向我們播放一段令人倒胃的投影,大概是牆外的畫面──547Please respect copyright.PENANASgoGLjmeQY
547Please respect copyright.PENANA2DOUOrRQ0p
「外頭全是巡邏隊的人,地上滿是屍骸......」547Please respect copyright.PENANA0Cr0NxXEs0
547Please respect copyright.PENANA5TdmpyFLxa
「......哈......哈......哈哈哈哈,看來苦等多年的復仇時刻,終於要來了!」義叔掏出手槍,失態的笑著。547Please respect copyright.PENANA5b80jJzyyP
547Please respect copyright.PENANAKBAcRTJr9Y
「巡邏隊是甚麼......?」547Please respect copyright.PENANA7yR4840fd4
547Please respect copyright.PENANAnSz3JnXSte
「名義上是戍邊的警察,但實際還負責處理各種髒事。」禮哥居然連這些事都知道,他以前到底幹盛行的?他始終不願回答。547Please respect copyright.PENANAZaptn2F46c
547Please respect copyright.PENANAJSHyChDv8l
眼前的局面,比起之前面對那幫三尖八角,還要絕望一百倍耶......人家充其量就最後關頭才亮出一把手槍;現在面對的,可是大群荷槍實彈的惡傢伙。如此看來,我們都別打算能活著離開了......547Please respect copyright.PENANA16xKLkiUN6

「『同志』們,準備迎擊。」禮哥恢復了往常的冷靜沈著,冷冷拋下迎戰命令,但對象似乎就限於幾位「同志」。547Please respect copyright.PENANAtHQhyzxu6c

禮哥緊靠牆角,把手機左上角的鏡頭伸至僅僅探出牆角的幅度。「你們監視後方,雖然應該沒有人。」547Please respect copyright.PENANA7cVM6z48N6
547Please respect copyright.PENANAG5b96cx4hn
仁伯跟義叔沿牆壁跑往對面,像禮哥一樣一高一低的一手持槍一手手機窺視外面,迎擊陣形看來已經完成。雖然我們都知道,束手就擒就不過是時間問題,但老人幫早已把生死置諸度外,然而我跟托陽呢?此時此刻,我到底......還應該以甚麼作為目標?547Please respect copyright.PENANARpWXfRPrBS
547Please respect copyright.PENANAjZTIZlMcwh
「......托陽,別礙著他們。」547Please respect copyright.PENANAlCgYW7b8Gc
547Please respect copyright.PENANAdh0uirJdxD
我將俯伏在地的托陽拉往牆壁深處,雖然這麼做有點多餘,但要是外頭直接開槍的話,他也不會第一個中槍──這是我的想像。老人幫一前兩後的全力警戒外面,一動也不動,外面似乎還沒任何動靜,但我也不敢隨意打擾他們,這種情況一個分神便足以致命。縱使我要幫忙,也沒武器可用,我可沒有揮棍打飛子彈的能耐。那麼,我應該做的事,還剩下甚麼?547Please respect copyright.PENANAqBrhIOxlpa

絕對的沈默、完全的靜止,將整個升降機大堂徹底遮罩,不止空氣凝固至無法吸入般使人窒息、連時間也沒流動過一樣。僵局之內,大概就只剩下我未成為雕塑,撇除警戒的老人幫,托陽亦已被接二連三的驚嚇場面壓垮,現在一副白蠟像臉的靠著牆呆坐。我雖然在此牢籠之中還勉強算是自由活動,但除了能為我們一夥人的生命倒數之外,也就沒甚麼有意義的事了,故此,我也只能在托陽旁邊一同呆坐。547Please respect copyright.PENANAhW6n2Pe0ig
547Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5Ek40qL63
這個狹小的世界中,尚未成為雕像的,除了我之外,還有升降機門眉的紅光。那從大至小遞減著的紅色樓層數字,使我的意識得以覓得一個寄托點,並且與之同調──547Please respect copyright.PENANAnt4evviVmV
547Please respect copyright.PENANAIDJaxvd3Z1
「10」、「9」、「8」──果然還是擺脫不了最後關頭功虧一簣的命呢。547Please respect copyright.PENANA2eQP6rUPs0
547Please respect copyright.PENANAebzsjFNXVp
「7」、「6」、「5」──但不要緊,這本來就是個十死無生的任務,只是我一直自欺欺人,瞞騙自己可以活著跑出這幢大樓。況且作為殺人犯,也早已有償命的覺悟。547Please respect copyright.PENANACp0C5utCle
547Please respect copyright.PENANAFgxLxm4mXD
「4」、「3」、「2」──只不過,死之前來一個華麗掙扎方能死而無憾啊,應該還有甚麼是我能夠做的──547Please respect copyright.PENANA5BcmMIljxe
547Please respect copyright.PENANAeFmceJbDbq
「1」──咦,原來我又只顧倒數,忘記通知大家又有升降機要抵站了......547Please respect copyright.PENANAx9E2KQjlvX

547Please respect copyright.PENANAcoGVDMAZTC
倒數結束後不久,左右各一部升降機門打開,兩群從頭黑到腳的大個子空群湧出,整齊有致的腳步聲率先將這名為靜止的牢籠大門轟開,然後連環不斷的激烈槍聲與閃爍火光把這個牢籠徹底擊至粉碎──也不,槍聲與火光消失之後,升降機大堂一切又恢復剛才的死寂,不過就增漆了一點血腥與硝煙味。抱歉呢......明明我就眼沒眨半下的眼睜睜瞪著升降機降落,但腦袋卻忘了告訴我去通知你們喔......547Please respect copyright.PENANARNzj9Yjp7N
547Please respect copyright.PENANAkmIbuGP5mY
說起來,還真奇怪,之前的槍聲是把我震眩,剛才的槍聲卻反而把我震醒了。槍聲結束過後,我抬起頭來,一、二、三、四、五、六名手持長槍的幪面黑衣人早已呈半球狀的將我跟托陽包圍,左右兩旁的槍口早已分別對準我們倆。明明死亡就擺在面前,我卻無絲毫感覺,可能是今夜已經一次過面對太多死亡,所以連自己的死亡亦已見怪不怪。547Please respect copyright.PENANAxQ7jjN3mId
547Please respect copyright.PENANATQDj0GkV9U
我將臉上的口罩扯下來,向頭頂上的一眾幪面大哥致以微笑,並將右手探進大衣內,「咔」,亮黑色的伸縮棍尖彷彿穿透大衣朝天彈出。547Please respect copyright.PENANA0SYjUniCwd
547Please respect copyright.PENANANinG8PIvWv
「投降吧,別作無謂抵抗。」547Please respect copyright.PENANAt7HHsfKBF8
547Please respect copyright.PENANAeYYJ3foddR
我知道啊,面對全副武裝荷槍實彈的傢伙,光憑一根棍莫說抵抗,連唬人也唬不了。縱使我成功保命苟活,但往後的日子也只可能在監獄之中度過,沒堅持活著的理由。所以,既然要死,我寧可吃子彈死,至少,沒那麼痛啊......547Please respect copyright.PENANA5hc1S9ttlv
547Please respect copyright.PENANAtcDFEe5R9a
......投降吧......547Please respect copyright.PENANAjIEy8aihG4
547Please respect copyright.PENANArMSwKl2xEy
繼剛才的幪面大哥之後,又有另一把勸降的聲音,但這絕症末期病人、一縷輕煙般的聲線,是坐在我身旁的傢伙發出的,他似乎恢復意識了。他舉高那雙伸不直的手,顫抖得快要支撐不住的樣子。547Please respect copyright.PENANAjYlF55UB5M
547Please respect copyright.PENANAKrQ6dZYIhj
「......投降的話,我們......就能活了......?」547Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ad7sqCMRM

「對。」那是毫可動搖的回答。547Please respect copyright.PENANABVCenQZKH7
547Please respect copyright.PENANAacA3CTKWv1
「......那麼,」托陽將整個腦袋晾在我的肩上,整個人的重心都靠過來,「只要活著,就還有機會;要是死了,就一切免談。你不是還要吃自助餐嗎......?」547Please respect copyright.PENANAVgj1MK3tMU

547Please respect copyright.PENANAmrJ9ncxbK8
我甩掉棍子、高舉雙手、抬起下顎凝視那居高臨下的烏黑、目不轉睛地。547Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3lAxwvzpe
547Please respect copyright.PENANAzS9dFTYHj0
「我投降。」547Please respect copyright.PENANA9OQ65Uc5Ef
547Please respect copyright.PENANAwVGhN0oVQ8
你這明明總於生死時刻派不上用場的傢伙,居然最後關頭發揮作用。我本來已經打算忘掉的自助餐,你竟然把它硬塞回來,真可惡,半島的可不便宜啊。
