克里莫夫坐在養工處工程科的位子上,調查瓦洛加交代給他的存摺。419Please respect copyright.PENANAm0XPhCSk7i

除了定期定量的大款項進賬,沒有任何資訊。翻開封面,裝訂西卡紙詭異的灰中帶白,用墨水鋼筆謹慎、端麗地寫著——FIMACO。瓦洛兒的字。他能想像他如何輕咬住嘴唇,克制顫抖與指尖力道,帶著守密的意圖寫下這幾字,然而存摺的粗糙程度幾乎如兒戲。419Please respect copyright.PENANANfS87LlMJ9

「你我從波蘭回程路上,你上告訴我:就算世上存在贖不完的罪,卻沒有贖不了的罪。我身上必然帶有金錢的原罪,我一毛都不想動用它。除卻你,我也別無所託;我盤算這件事許久,苦無機會……克里莫,拿去吧,替我贖罪,你答應過的。」瓦洛加道,語氣中的愛憐,含舊日長官上對下的信任。419Please respect copyright.PENANAvqeZBnZNTK
419Please respect copyright.PENANA5PzofDI51f
FIMACO。F, I, M, A, C, O. 看起來像是什麼的縮寫。419Please respect copyright.PENANAhignRCpmhA

「克里莫,別問它是什麼,這不足為外人道。希望你把款子用在良善的目的上。」419Please respect copyright.PENANAx2hsVHv42k
419Please respect copyright.PENANAvGsWcHwaX4
「嗯,我不問。」克里莫夫立刻聽見自己生硬的聲音說出去,完全不對。419Please respect copyright.PENANAoxreLZwLAk
419Please respect copyright.PENANAuctmtv0YU3
那並不是順從、信任長官的貓奴下屬,低低撫慰的聲音。原本的克里莫夫是「我很愛你,所以你什麼也不說,我也不問。」如今的他是閉口不問之中,充滿往內心憋的怨氣。工業區域街道,雲低天陰,兩人頓了一頓,暗暗心驚,瓦洛加尤其震動。419Please respect copyright.PENANAImvDFdrQU0
419Please respect copyright.PENANAmXqO223hAd
將救贖交付出去的時機終於到來,但克里莫卻似乎不再像以前那樣眷愛他。瓦洛加伏在克里莫的胸前,想聽他的心聲,但從前的那種心靈相通幾乎消失,僅剩一絲氣息。現在的克里莫夫,即便站在他身後,只像任何路人的普通存在,不會令他回首。419Please respect copyright.PENANAs8A1HZyOwM
419Please respect copyright.PENANAPdUdJnie1r
瓦洛加離開他胸前,自嘲地笑笑,寂寞地道:「謝謝你,謝謝你為我做的一切。謝謝你買給我的新床。以後請常常來聖彼得堡看我。」419Please respect copyright.PENANA2TbmfcDPpU
419Please respect copyright.PENANAeC4HBFcu1o
瓦洛加大約認定,不必阻止克里莫夫跑來,他也不會願意來了。克里莫夫覺得心碎,百口莫辯。419Please respect copyright.PENANA57zUcLLQQs
419Please respect copyright.PENANAFiaXmHoDDu
關於這本存摺,克里莫夫的調查一無所獲,他甚至略感恐怖。幽靈般的金流進入意義不明的無底坑,他沒見過,也驗不出封面墨水的特殊成分。419Please respect copyright.PENANAXbjLDfBzKM
419Please respect copyright.PENANAdyK2N1yP2N
重重光明會謎團中,只有沃卡的一席話給了他方向感。他對瓦洛兒有了新的認識,對自身的幼稚也是。然而老前輩和該死的狄米特是一夥的,他不打算喜歡令人安心的老夥計--兩個都是該殺千刀、不可饒恕的敵人!419Please respect copyright.PENANAOBr7lJY2ar

「我愛你。」419Please respect copyright.PENANAa7DZDDS5Ci
419Please respect copyright.PENANASLCLgkDHDI
聲音不對,表情不對,聽上去比較像「我恨你」。瓦洛加的回應可想而知:他會拘謹地微笑,含蓄地、小聲地道:「謝謝你。」謝謝舊情人的施捨。419Please respect copyright.PENANAhimUiCQBJJ
419Please respect copyright.PENANA9TYEIfwINA
洗手台鏡,水漬痕跡斑斑疤疤,映出心胸狹窄、討人厭、令人難堪的男人,口中吐出越描越黑的愛意。克里莫夫想消失。不是為了帶愛人逃出光明會勢力而放棄世上一切,就單純只是消失而已。419Please respect copyright.PENANAWZCDpGg0hI
419Please respect copyright.PENANAb3VMUqkFHN
他的存在失去說服力了,還在瓦洛兒的命裡廝混,只因不甘心輸給狄米特。419Please respect copyright.PENANAPuJiJMrJtX

克里莫夫長聲怒吼,不知吼了多久,最終一拳將廁所牆上的鏡子打出一大片蜘蛛網。男人掩著臉,遮住泛紅的眼睛奪門而出,在磁磚地上留下一排血跡。419Please respect copyright.PENANAIWLdPKHOaS
419Please respect copyright.PENANAHPKCHB3MoZ
清潔工聞騷動而來,看見克里莫夫的怪力竟揍花了整排鏡子,沒一面倖免,對著狼狽逃離的寬闊背影大叫:「大棕熊!別以為你是養工處的人就可以這樣亂來!」419Please respect copyright.PENANAh5cyFhXlFy

他無法等待行蹤飄忽的史可拉托夫上校出現,他現在就要帶瓦洛兒走,現在!無論希求脫離崩壞體制的苦難者,是否尋得到領路先知,他反正是走定了。419Please respect copyright.PENANAZLyqWxcozU

克里莫夫勉力靜下心,將手藏在口袋中,步伐沉重。他走向國防部建築物中的人事室。布里茲涅夫時代建築的室內,比聖彼得堡公家機關更呆板、灰白,日光燈底下不住人來人往。419Please respect copyright.PENANA2L7CzGrSHZ

是肯定句。顯然並非官僚作業的失誤,導致他的辭呈消失了,而是那原本就是「不該存在的辭呈」。克里莫夫默默一凜,察覺周圍的辦事員用異樣的眼光看他。419Please respect copyright.PENANAVv9YaxZR3N

他彷彿偶然拐過莫斯科街角,走進一間蘇聯小食堂,滿屋子吵嚷談笑的用餐客立刻靜下來,同時轉過頭,面無表情地看他,一個誤闖群鬼狂歡的人類。但現在是大白天,日光燈又這麼白得氾濫;難以言說究竟誰才是鬼。419Please respect copyright.PENANATJDzssNIab

克里莫夫覺得拳頭裡握著的血,要從口袋底下滲出來了。那只是錯覺;他的鮮血早就乾透,想抽出手時黏上整塊襯裡布料,像被黏鼠板困住。419Please respect copyright.PENANAPXVIP9OGpJ

二戰之後,美國的國內產油企業被嚴重打壓,政府主動壓制這些中小企業,非常不合理的強迫許他們一個月只能在油田工作五天(Five-day-allowable),導致只有洛克斐勒獨占能源市場。而洛克斐勒從南美洲、中東、甚至印度進口被削價的石油,加上美國國內無人與之競爭,他們再用不成比例的高價售出。當平民老百姓的車不允許使用省油的改良化油器引擎(carburetor),洛克斐勒一族的運油船是高效能的窄身船--當他們省的是自己的油,一點都不馬虎。419Please respect copyright.PENANAlG57nhboiC
