2170年3月25日,凌晨兩點半,高空,謝綠的飛行器111Please respect copyright.PENANAUDzZnrUeNF
111Please respect copyright.PENANA0fLU98QcL4
111Please respect copyright.PENANAVQPvR22C3a
七年前,陪審團一役後,神與畜迎來前所未有的巔峰。111Please respect copyright.PENANAMbR2pKzrxg
111Please respect copyright.PENANA3oiGwX2Gd3
里奧、葛蕾絲、李博洋、MIO、李晴煬、賴梓綾、江云格、謝綠、尼可拉斯、派翠克、赫密士、金允希、羅俊、美狄亞、檸檬,完美的十五人,完美的分工,從前線到後勤,搭配得天衣無縫。111Please respect copyright.PENANAbiVjbw4hPW
111Please respect copyright.PENANA18JgnPEsvk
十大家族,謝氏有謝賢、李門有李昂,薩拉凱爾教、Platinum、史密斯馬戲團已名存實亡,雷蒙一家和希波克拉底沒有變化。除了夏家,全都在高宇維的掌控下。111Please respect copyright.PENANAAgnn23ufHP
111Please respect copyright.PENANAYI17Ovkzln
原先的Knights,由於人數太多,五年前便改名K機關,交由聯合政府管理。長期被李晴煬壓榨的顧爾因此升官,成為K機關的負責人,享有公家機關福利,假期多到休不完,可喜可賀,可喜可賀。111Please respect copyright.PENANAS6ZB8jgOgR
111Please respect copyright.PENANAdCK3nc9NHO
111Please respect copyright.PENANAgWmysSluig
「我,睏,了。」111Please respect copyright.PENANAqslEmUNHXx
111Please respect copyright.PENANAukR7ko6r0v
確定沒有追兵,賴梓綾拿掉修女的帽子,露出死亡般的白色長髮,和長期被李晴煬影響、越來越像血的紅色眼睛。111Please respect copyright.PENANAyg0b8E1vTP
111Please respect copyright.PENANARSoYy3hi8h
「這裡,有,床嗎?」111Please respect copyright.PENANAu1i5CgUaew
111Please respect copyright.PENANAhWzw68HDWC
「妳當我是什麼?饕餮航空頭等艙?」111Please respect copyright.PENANAtUWuWfpEFS
111Please respect copyright.PENANAnDD5YOPGWW
謝綠改過漢服的材質,變得更透氣、方便行動。因為動作大,謝綠不敢戴容易脫落的髮髻,幸好經過葛蕾絲改良,新的髮髻不會掉,她可以盡情打扮。111Please respect copyright.PENANAKFhoIJHE98
111Please respect copyright.PENANA6snDeaUI24
謝綠隨便指窗邊的座位,叫賴梓綾去那裡打盹。111Please respect copyright.PENANASU2P0sKtwG
111Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZlRtnxXIL
「檸檬,這裡有餅乾,吃一點吧。」111Please respect copyright.PENANA8eNjKeQihh
111Please respect copyright.PENANA8xw7ryhdIj
隨後,謝綠換成溫柔的聲音,從收納櫃拿出零食,給坐在旁邊的檸檬。賴梓綾鼓起臉頰,抱怨:「小綠,偏心。」111Please respect copyright.PENANA8IeJb9pv3U
111Please respect copyright.PENANAi711WkHUEr
「你快睡。」謝綠皺眉,「還有,老大不小了,不要裝可愛,小約翰。」111Please respect copyright.PENANAVM87zZTpzE
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfJCKzhjHHJ
謝綠故意叫他的本名。賴梓綾──第一代水果塔「睡鼠」小約翰,露出掃興的表情,決定不再浪費力氣,人蜷縮在謝綠指定的位子,開始淺眠。111Please respect copyright.PENANAaVxd7nF3uP
111Please respect copyright.PENANAn0G2uf3ztP
能在任何地方、用任何姿勢睡覺,是神與畜的共同技能。李博洋曾經睡在飲水機上,到底什麼處境才要睡在那種地方,大家至今仍不明白。111Please respect copyright.PENANAy20oCYtbQC
111Please respect copyright.PENANAnn17M0J4QX
「檸檬,妳不吃嗎?」111Please respect copyright.PENANAWavyWBXYyk
111Please respect copyright.PENANAQvu8Saf2BJ
「……。」111Please respect copyright.PENANASyjxjuVETT
111Please respect copyright.PENANAyqZLPcW879
不到一周,檸檬就要十三歲了。111Please respect copyright.PENANATyQCpLg9cV
111Please respect copyright.PENANAoCdsIPLMQh
當年小小的、軟軟的、圓圓的迷你檸檬,如今也變成少女,有著漂亮的黑色長髮和琉璃色眼睛。前幾年,檸檬穿上人生第一件內衣,長出人生第一顆青春痘……每次見到檸檬,謝綠都覺得時間很快,自己和李晴煬快二十五,李博洋更不用說,他的外表時間已經被高宇維暫停,加入不老行列。111Please respect copyright.PENANA5tIiNw2FAq
111Please respect copyright.PENANAMkqvv3Ej5b
「檸檬?」111Please respect copyright.PENANAvzsrjuiPmN
111Please respect copyright.PENANAwsdfSpwkME
「……。」111Please respect copyright.PENANAB7p3v3FtHz
111Please respect copyright.PENANAUftDdwz5LR
明明是喜歡的餅乾,檸檬卻沒胃口。冷靜下來的她,用和賴梓綾一樣的姿勢,縮在謝綠旁邊的座位,看起來心事重重,飛行器陷入怪異的沉默。111Please respect copyright.PENANASQsIoF4oPZ
111Please respect copyright.PENANATYPd2r59Dt
不只外表,檸檬的內在也有懷特的影子,但謝綠知道,檸檬不會喜歡這個讚美,她現在和里奧的關係……很尷尬。111Please respect copyright.PENANAIBKiXeIqzR
111Please respect copyright.PENANAIdg2EFLyyb
「妳如果不想說話,就聽我自言自語吧。」111Please respect copyright.PENANA4Cd4ZcRhBv
111Please respect copyright.PENANAhic6WsaK8e
待過壓抑的謝氏,現在的謝綠明白,能說的時候就盡量說,否則會悶出病。這算成長嗎?謝綠不知道,成長是件奇怪的事,有時莫名其妙就成長了,她也搞不明白。111Please respect copyright.PENANA2vsKJI6A66
111Please respect copyright.PENANAPIG2OOPOXV
111Please respect copyright.PENANAKEVWRf9DRo
「2168年2月,約莫兩年前,宇維少爺在沒和任何人告知的情況下,私自和老師……郭凝羽見面。」111Please respect copyright.PENANAHGBJpkXA8N
111Please respect copyright.PENANAksr2PNGwaD
「等我們找到宇維少爺時,他受了非常嚴重的傷。還原妳哥當時的話:『宇維少爺能保住命,他X的,根本是奇蹟。』」111Please respect copyright.PENANAnDaw32SN6h
111Please respect copyright.PENANA53LkBtXbz3
111Please respect copyright.PENANAM3aVefdh9a
拜李晴煬──傑柏沃奇所賜,蜘蛛和羅琳娜不再侵擾,猖狂的人工智慧利維坦被控制。當一切都往好的方向發展時,高宇維突然倒下,昏迷不醒。111Please respect copyright.PENANA4IR0MyxOzB
111Please respect copyright.PENANAuh7gqezduN
「為什麼要和郭凝羽見面、為什麼不告訴我們……我們不明白宇維少爺的動機,希望晴煬用他的玫瑰找出答案,但晴煬和宇維少爺有過約定,說不論發生什麼,都不能對宇維少爺使用能力。」111Please respect copyright.PENANAtvOPlBXSh1
111Please respect copyright.PENANAcI0EXarHlj
既然檸檬不吃餅乾,謝綠打開包裝,一口咬下。111Please respect copyright.PENANAG2pdZy0Bua
111Please respect copyright.PENANAcZLeuSYA1O
好甜。111Please respect copyright.PENANA21PbKiEFVA
111Please respect copyright.PENANAqiH3sbx9nx
「折衷後,晴煬說只能十秒,對宇維少爺使用十秒的玫瑰。時間太短,還是不知道宇維少爺的動機,但晴煬看到兇手的影子。」111Please respect copyright.PENANA7NZUuaW6YT
111Please respect copyright.PENANA4wV5iqYsjU
謝綠描述:「白色的衣服、頭髮、背上有八根蜘蛛腳的女性,毫無疑問是郭凝羽。她傷害宇維少爺,和十幾年前,她對晴煬做的事一樣。」111Please respect copyright.PENANAkfAt4CpMoY
111Please respect copyright.PENANA1Uk6mHrNLZ
「……。」111Please respect copyright.PENANAue05qYNmKn
111Please respect copyright.PENANAXXN6dNaudg
檸檬沒有回應,靜靜地眨眼,靜靜地聆聽。111Please respect copyright.PENANAPrW12iAGkB
111Please respect copyright.PENANAl1PulgM9tn
「為了找到郭凝羽,我們放下立場,去卡洛爾大廈詢問羅琳娜和艾莉絲,怪的是,我們進不去卡洛爾大廈,那棟建築變得相當詭異。」111Please respect copyright.PENANAC8N737RBPK
111Please respect copyright.PENANA21Be4Hw3wG
十大家族的例外,是「艾莉絲」夏熠的夏家。111Please respect copyright.PENANAjSvh5pSUWP
111Please respect copyright.PENANAoMDOmMT4DT
陪審團一役,連同「羅琳娜」白絃、「書蟲」凱薩,夏熠三人銷聲匿跡。他們的根據地卡洛爾大廈,外觀正常,內部卻是無法理解的結構,根本進不去。111Please respect copyright.PENANAfCDiGNpSvX
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsy75VtMYs3
「當我們無計可施,晴煬想到一個辦法。」111Please respect copyright.PENANASdb50KIrM9
111Please respect copyright.PENANAMBtancuLZl
「……忌妒派對。」111Please respect copyright.PENANApLHwsAJTBX
111Please respect copyright.PENANALV4pKC3iee
檸檬終於回話。謝綠點頭,終於不是自言自語。111Please respect copyright.PENANASpfn6Vj5YB
111Please respect copyright.PENANAVcUlJDvOo4
「沒錯,為了讓自己更強,強到能找出郭凝羽並殺死她,晴煬嘗試吸收利維坦,用他的話講,是像碎片居民(Fragments)那樣,『成為他的一部份』。」111Please respect copyright.PENANAh6YviiiH7H
111Please respect copyright.PENANAQfaqsL4JDe
謝綠的表情,隱約透露,她不喜歡李晴煬這個方法;另一邊,檸檬的眼神相當不齒,在她聽來,「殺死郭凝羽」是天方夜譚,天大的笑話。111Please respect copyright.PENANABgmY14Y3lt
111Please respect copyright.PENANABjwEOffgpb
「打從宇維少爺昏迷,我們內部便爭執不斷。」謝綠說。111Please respect copyright.PENANA4qi1jyKt2o
111Please respect copyright.PENANAgGmUxvCfQQ
「撇除資歷、年紀,十五人地位相等,沒有誰高誰低。」檸檬不帶感情陳述。111Please respect copyright.PENANA3wx3EB2Snz
111Please respect copyright.PENANAzFhCDjVTra
「一開始,我們還願意尊重里奧大哥、赫密士的決策,直到妳──蜘蛛的安琪.懷特,妳是我們分裂的導火線。」111Please respect copyright.PENANA2DII0I4tAy
111Please respect copyright.PENANAtijpAbUyGJ
2170年1月,今年年初,赫密士趁尼可拉斯外出,查看檸檬的血檢報告,發現檸檬體內的蜘蛛糖,證實檸檬是郭凝羽網上的蜘蛛。111Please respect copyright.PENANA4EwLm8n6mC
111Please respect copyright.PENANA5PUpH3z40h
然而,赫密士沒有和眾人討論,擅自切斷檸檬的網,也斷了唯一的、僅存的、屬於郭凝羽的線索。李晴煬大怒,他向里奧索要檸檬,只要檸檬進入忌妒派對,像七年前那樣、和利維坦同步,一切還有轉機,里奧卻不肯。111Please respect copyright.PENANAp1t3YcVnhk
111Please respect copyright.PENANALEo3YlkR7L
「里奧大哥把妳關起來。直到今天,妳被關了三個月。」111Please respect copyright.PENANAceRU69UxYp
111Please respect copyright.PENANALqbV8FnRjU
想到這,謝綠忍不住搖頭,覺得糟糕透頂。111Please respect copyright.PENANAFPOvOcF9UK
111Please respect copyright.PENANAcSVAPpwW9h
「總之,對於妳的處置,晴煬、梓綾、我、格格,都覺得很差勁,我們決定獨立出來,神與畜一分為二,只有博洋、MIO、尼可、派翠克、允希保持中立。」111Please respect copyright.PENANAjAML4ko00W
111Please respect copyright.PENANAzFNgx2EKxk
李博洋和MIO看錢行事,基於不明原因,兩人目前很缺錢;尼可拉斯和派翠克是醫護人員,他們不得有立場,專注於治療高宇維;金允希在尋找白絃,不想浪費時間在無聊的爭鬥,她有自己要做的事。111Please respect copyright.PENANAN9AJ6vpHTF
111Please respect copyright.PENANAA1PXRtad0Q
除非高宇維醒來,否則,這個分裂不會停止。111Please respect copyright.PENANAtw4cRjsoNw
111Please respect copyright.PENANAzNd9UEeSfm
「幫助妳離開奇境大樓,是我們的第一步。」111Please respect copyright.PENANAMaJfqsmQtf
111Please respect copyright.PENANAEouliaY3og
謝綠說:「里奧大哥再怎麼愛妳,也不能把妳一直關著,那太不人道了,不是嗎?」111Please respect copyright.PENANA5U5TouPN0J
111Please respect copyright.PENANAt11UVFDwZd
「……。」111Please respect copyright.PENANAZeD0Se1agL
111Please respect copyright.PENANAd83Yohh0LU
聽到里奧的名字,檸檬轉頭,又不說話。謝綠沒生氣,她知道,這是多愁善感的青春期,她尊重檸檬的小脾氣。111Please respect copyright.PENANA7wkSKNvdLc
111Please respect copyright.PENANAqOVOvWJUkJ
「到了。」111Please respect copyright.PENANAJiDwwSl5bx
111Please respect copyright.PENANA8iF5ICcVRv
不知不覺,飛行器已經抵達陪審團上空,窗外的景色令檸檬一驚。陪審團是兩千平方公里的超大艦艇,如今除了中央的白色建築群,其它地方都是黑色的海。111Please respect copyright.PENANA0zehvPSebX
111Please respect copyright.PENANAQso6uPB2Eq
「妳沒看錯,那是黑色汙泥。」111Please respect copyright.PENANAjpyaKTAVnX
111Please respect copyright.PENANAkwpmtLhUV4
謝綠起身,拍拍睡著的賴梓綾,沒想到這廝真的睡著,謝綠打不醒,想用刀砍,但賴梓綾硬得要命,謝綠怕心愛的武器壞掉,只能用搖的。111Please respect copyright.PENANA5PJO2im7WI
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsJAv4wjJEw
「起來了,梓綾。」111Please respect copyright.PENANA7IPvJBa01b
111Please respect copyright.PENANAxyMASTK5Ac
「……。」111Please respect copyright.PENANATE8ErNiSCF
111Please respect copyright.PENANA8YKA7ZN0XB
「起來,我們到了。」111Please respect copyright.PENANATbsMtSC4tS
111Please respect copyright.PENANADjwE9dFHby
「……。」111Please respect copyright.PENANAXxTh5twSBX
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfFFP5wQWOR
飛行器駛入白色建築,艙門打開,賴梓綾還是沒醒。謝綠想陪檸檬辦理入住手續,但現在的陪審團,有賴梓綾非常在意的人,謝綠不能讓她單獨行動,只好向檸檬道歉。111Please respect copyright.PENANAx30XJmQuUy
111Please respect copyright.PENANAkG7JqwPDzH
檸檬不在意,她壓根兒不想謝綠陪在旁邊。離開前,她回頭看謝綠,用平常的方式叫她:「小綠。」111Please respect copyright.PENANAeUSu4lJlj6
111Please respect copyright.PENANASpEHk1woxf
「嗯?」111Please respect copyright.PENANALIh3eGRsHa
111Please respect copyright.PENANApOG2YNxaNq
「所謂謊言,」111Please respect copyright.PENANA08G8zWD0z0
111Please respect copyright.PENANAMpfcRa1ZgV
檸檬停頓,有一段片刻的沉默。111Please respect copyright.PENANA3UuKWT7a8q
111Please respect copyright.PENANAXUIUCUnnk1
「所謂謊言,不限虛假的言語,『隱瞞』也是說謊。」111Please respect copyright.PENANAfdtIoR324k
111Please respect copyright.PENANAi1sNu0zaka
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsDKtDTqQ0f
──我所生長的地方,一切都是不正的。111Please respect copyright.PENANAly9Q7LW53B
111Please respect copyright.PENANAh9pewH7DCP
──看似筆直的東西,也是歪的。111Please respect copyright.PENANA6FL1dAC7Uq
111Please respect copyright.PENANAXrAitwtmIB
111Please respect copyright.PENANASszedb71pf
父親和赫密士如何對待檸檬,謝綠沒說錯。111Please respect copyright.PENANAOduxf2fhQ7
111Please respect copyright.PENANA8Qe98QYvnc
然而,將己方塑造為正義之士,這是謝綠慣用的技倆。「偽善」這個詞,就是為謝綠量身打造。111Please respect copyright.PENANAwLtTviBoz5
111Please respect copyright.PENANAKmeAwdxHoc
她很虛偽。111Please respect copyright.PENANAPiQKPg7kjQ
111Please respect copyright.PENANALQbe3OfMO7
111Please respect copyright.PENANAecHQ8DIk0m
「妳是騙子。」111Please respect copyright.PENANAnbFZEvK9VD
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfxQWMI44hA
「高明的、狡猾的、沒有自覺的騙子。」111Please respect copyright.PENANA6lBUUtzaTT
111Please respect copyright.PENANAQpCWyEsdBQ
111Please respect copyright.PENANAhILEgP5Cqt
語畢,檸檬離開飛行器,跟著接待的機器人離開。111Please respect copyright.PENANAMvISKZzvDl
111Please respect copyright.PENANAP7F6GOjlZi
利用我、利用你。他們這幫人就是這樣。111Please respect copyright.PENANAce9nvwv7zD
111Please respect copyright.PENANArY0eteBNNd
一切的一切,都是如此歪斜,如此扭曲。111Please respect copyright.PENANATjw2RySu1U
