603Please respect copyright.PENANAwgXfyu5jKv
潺潺的水聲流入意識。派翠克睜開眼睛,剛才還在咆哮飯店的他,此刻卻躺在河畔邊的草地,穿著粉紅色帽T的女人,正俯瞰著自己。603Please respect copyright.PENANAQJ8nU1DXH9
603Please respect copyright.PENANAeG25q6ckdm
「白絃姊?」603Please respect copyright.PENANA9Tb38gTt1v
603Please respect copyright.PENANAFRr1TPtuk4
紫色的眼睛、粉紅色的頭髮,派翠克一眼就認出她,「這裡是?」603Please respect copyright.PENANAwOeUVFJrDz
603Please respect copyright.PENANAQKI4MsQYLT
「仙境(Wonderland)。」白絃將派翠克拉起,「公爵夫人讓你進來的。」603Please respect copyright.PENANAW9m3UARAKf
603Please respect copyright.PENANAd3gWjHs4zu
「奶奶……?」603Please respect copyright.PENANA7lXQrfzl8b
603Please respect copyright.PENANAIUGwKNBGh1
派翠克聽著風拂過小草的聲音,「奶奶她,還剩多少時間?」603Please respect copyright.PENANAuWu158eoLp
603Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ks2E2Mvw1
「一個禮拜。」白絃微笑,「恭喜你,再一個禮拜,就不用過躲躲藏藏的生活了。」603Please respect copyright.PENANAYA1yRJDr24
603Please respect copyright.PENANAlGivp8Db1D
「……。」派翠克一臉想哭,「我想見她最後一面。」603Please respect copyright.PENANAcRT4eGnF4Y
603Please respect copyright.PENANAbGwV5Qju2d
「可以,估計你還沒回家、就會先死在路上,公爵夫人的努力也因你的衝動毀於一旦。」白絃一語道破:「是什麼讓你的決心動搖了?」603Please respect copyright.PENANASgkJxlY0uv
603Please respect copyright.PENANAZG45i4fXWP
派翠克沒有回話,轉移話題:「我在作夢嗎?」603Please respect copyright.PENANAbjBn2kZOH6
603Please respect copyright.PENANAHLsXTBE5o7
「『氣若游絲,半夢半醒』,是不是夢有差嗎?」603Please respect copyright.PENANAUeW4LjdYL4
603Please respect copyright.PENANAvWxnFQIYoa
派翠克聽不是很懂。突然,一名銀白色頭髮,穿著深棕色背心的中年男子從他們前方經過。他掏出金色的懷錶,看了一眼,嘴裡喃喃自語:603Please respect copyright.PENANAjLzNR3qi6n
603Please respect copyright.PENANAVo9TJBWLeg
603Please respect copyright.PENANAblB8ndjlOD

603Please respect copyright.PENANATXKpXGWfB1
「……?」603Please respect copyright.PENANATT7ZEL4KAH
603Please respect copyright.PENANABEagZtwpLs
派翠克的眼睛被那名懷錶大叔吸住。白絃咧嘴一笑。603Please respect copyright.PENANAqqShW4pbo9

603Please respect copyright.PENANA5vQhRDPbKb
603Please respect copyright.PENANAx6t97hza0q
白絃的聲音變得很奇怪。派翠克回頭,剛才站在旁邊的白絃不見了,只剩她回音般的聲音迴盪四周──603Please respect copyright.PENANAxNgJTUlNxM

603Please respect copyright.PENANAmwx0xRwRky
「……!?」603Please respect copyright.PENANAPcveI33n39
603Please respect copyright.PENANA9BZixWd7Kv
突然,周遭景色巨變,風和日麗的河畔消失。派翠克來到十字路口的中央,四周被高樓大廈包圍,上方還有鐵路高架。這不是二十二世紀的都市,建築的樣式十分老舊。603Please respect copyright.PENANArjR5drKtnS
603Please respect copyright.PENANA6SRqH9F7NH
「磅!」603Please respect copyright.PENANA9wA3AL2Fex
603Please respect copyright.PENANAAhSferSgZV
突然一個人從派翠克眼前飛過,撞入停在路邊的貨車。貨車當場翻覆,車頭衝進一旁的大樓店面,恐怖的玻璃破裂聲撕裂耳膜,派翠克嚇得閉上眼睛。603Please respect copyright.PENANAYy0St8UjP3

603Please respect copyright.PENANAbvzjt7Qty7
603Please respect copyright.PENANApqBjkRAkiq
另一邊,一名穿著橘色西裝、橘色頭髮的男人渾身是傷,而站在他對面的──派翠克一眼就認出是白絃。一百年前的白絃是短髮,她後面站著一個黑色長髮、面無表情的女孩,頭上有個大大的紅色蝴蝶結。603Please respect copyright.PENANALLNhRyC1xP

603Please respect copyright.PENANAVfM9aA0Gv0
603Please respect copyright.PENANAMsgYCjiIJG
蝴蝶結語畢,一台火車憑空出現、衝向年輕時的白絃。恐怖的爆炸聲傳來──還沒看到勝負,周遭景物崩塌,派翠克腳下的地面消失,他毫無預警下墜,落入深不見底的黑洞。603Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZOzB9GisW
603Please respect copyright.PENANALJDvm4TJ3U
「……!」603Please respect copyright.PENANAWL6NfI3pRd
603Please respect copyright.PENANADKJwvjPgwR
不是這洞太深,就是墜落的速度很慢,派翠克竟然有充足的時間左顧右盼。然後,遠方有道光,派翠克看見剛才的懷錶大叔躺在病床,對年輕時的白絃說:603Please respect copyright.PENANAo1aLVPKzni
603Please respect copyright.PENANABKHkCjpO6u
603Please respect copyright.PENANAa6OPUALPWT
「都從這麼高的地方摔下來過,」603Please respect copyright.PENANAtxymRZu47s

603Please respect copyright.PENANAZHWRqDVZWg
603Please respect copyright.PENANANX613HyPg3
大叔說完,派翠克「撲通!」一聲、跌進淹到下巴的鹹水池中。派翠克以為這是海水,結果浮出水面,看到金色頭髮的男子跪在岸邊哭。他十分傷心,哭出了眼淚池。603Please respect copyright.PENANAMerjpXnZnX

603Please respect copyright.PENANAk63UGWNXPV
603Please respect copyright.PENANAYzGBa2ynGk
和金髮男子一模一樣的黑影站出來,拿著白色的有線耳機。黑影正想把男子勒斃,年輕的白絃衝出、將黑影撕成兩半;剛才的蝴蝶結少女出現,從後面抱住金髮男,在他耳邊說悄悄話。603Please respect copyright.PENANAraXjgUCyUq
603Please respect copyright.PENANAS6b77b03nX
不久,金髮男停止哭泣,眼淚池乾涸。派翠克才剛游到岸邊,四周場景再次變換,這次變成一棟小木屋。透過窗戶,派翠克又看見另一名西裝男(不是和白絃對峙的那個),及他再也熟悉不過的人。603Please respect copyright.PENANAusDGLkTMv0
603Please respect copyright.PENANATeiybWyiRy
「奶奶……!?」603Please respect copyright.PENANARE4NB6dtOF
603Please respect copyright.PENANAfmIuXws0WT
木屋裡,一名和派翠克一樣藍髮,穿著一襲黑色晚禮服的美麗女子坐在沙發上。西裝男跪著、趴在女子的腿上痛哭;派翠克的祖母──薇奧拉.雷蒙摸著西裝男的頭,用無比溫柔的聲音說:603Please respect copyright.PENANAsSmHCgVfPP

隨著薇奧拉的撫摸,西裝男的頭髮從短變長、從橘色變成紫色,抬頭時容貌大變,變成完全不一樣的人,一臉心碎。603Please respect copyright.PENANA4weMNXlDZ8

603Please respect copyright.PENANAhiwudcR77f
說完,紫髮男朝小木屋的門走來。派翠克後退,背撞到一棵樹,一條棕色的貓尾巴垂到他面前。樹枝上坐著兩個人,一個是綠色頭髮的女人,另一個是長著貓耳朵、眼睛裡有愛心的棕髮女孩,脖子上的項圈寫著「黛娜」。603Please respect copyright.PENANAQHJ1GYh542

貓女孩先開口,她雖然盯著派翠克的方向,卻不是在跟派翠克說話。旁邊的綠髮女人摸摸她的頭,貓女孩發出舒服的「呼嚕」聲。603Please respect copyright.PENANAxtWkxT41pd
603Please respect copyright.PENANAPHKluGzSWa
派翠克發現,綠髮女人的另一隻手,拿著很像武俠小說裡的長刀,右手無名指有枚結婚戒指。603Please respect copyright.PENANAfxSH6m0tfx

603Please respect copyright.PENANA3bw3VrkTXL
語畢,綠髮女人指了一個方向,派翠克沿著開滿桃花樹的小徑走去。路的盡頭是大房子,房子前擺著一張長桌。長桌兩端,一邊是戴著高帽、灰色頭髮的青年,另一邊是深藍色頭髮、綁著兩根大辮子的小男孩。長桌兩側各坐兩個人,一邊是銀白色頭髮的兄妹,哥哥的眼睛是琉璃色;另一邊坐著黑衣服的嚴肅少年和紅頭髮、看不出性別的人。兄妹倆和紅髮都在喝茶,黑衣少年死都不喝,扳著一張臉,不想待在這裡。603Please respect copyright.PENANAJnW06ZTa4z

603Please respect copyright.PENANAsZQdgIvfeX
辮子男孩說,兩側的銀白兄妹和紅髮同時放下茶杯、用力敲盤子。一隻紅色的鶴應聲飛來、用嘴巴將派翠克叼起。派翠克被帶到空中,遠離那棟辦茶會的大房子,來到海邊,遠遠就看到白絃。粉紅色的頭髮非常顯眼,白絃正和一名黑髮、穿著校服的少女坐在海蝕門上方。紅鶴降落在她們背後,一把派翠克放下來,整隻鳥變成蜘蛛,不知道爬去哪裡。603Please respect copyright.PENANAflxJNUdtgl
603Please respect copyright.PENANAzvWw2A9GUw
「……!」603Please respect copyright.PENANAnDQOgY871t
603Please respect copyright.PENANAEtYkaexASC
派翠克發現,這裡的白絃是長頭髮,是「真的」白絃。派翠克想上前搭話,旁邊的校服少女突然站起來,對著一望無際的大海說:603Please respect copyright.PENANAi5NfTN2z62

語畢,她把手裡的黑色綿羊娃娃拿給白絃。白絃也站起身,意味深長一笑。603Please respect copyright.PENANAGCg4NeyDQf

603Please respect copyright.PENANAuMD71XvhEV
603Please respect copyright.PENANAf7P9DjyTje
白絃瞄了一眼派翠克,然後伸手,將校服少女從十幾米高的海蝕門,推了下去。603Please respect copyright.PENANApPuls5BE1h
603Please respect copyright.PENANAX6swgg6dRL
「……!?」603Please respect copyright.PENANAB6lZ710kB3
603Please respect copyright.PENANAb9U1yh52Mc
派翠克大驚。他衝上前、往下一看,發現在海面上沉沉浮浮的不只校服少女,還有很多人,包括貓女孩、辮子男孩和金髮男人的屍體。派翠克想問白絃怎麼回事,卻發現白絃的背後站著蝴蝶結女孩──她正用刀抵著白絃的脖子。603Please respect copyright.PENANAEZGhoEnL2h

「……?」603Please respect copyright.PENANAbbtf6pRiHR
603Please respect copyright.PENANAJFcpjeWxkZ
耳邊傳來熟悉的聲音──現實中的尼可拉斯正在呼喚自己。眼前的景象過於虛幻,卻又異常真實,派翠克差點忘記自己還在作夢。603Please respect copyright.PENANATEOnqJL9rC

白絃身後的蝴蝶結女孩不斷複誦。那一刻,所有畫面都串連在一起,派翠克恍然大悟。明白所有真相的瞬間,他才意識到蝴蝶結女孩──艾莉絲此刻拿刀的行為,是多麼的恐怖。603Please respect copyright.PENANARX8UbaN2zV
603Please respect copyright.PENANArqAULqERbr
「白絃姊……!」603Please respect copyright.PENANADRAkhIyqn9
603Please respect copyright.PENANAdRQkxCzKPb
派翠克感到慌張。他聽著尼可拉斯的呼喚,問白絃:「他是懷特嗎?」603Please respect copyright.PENANApjQYH2fh3C
603Please respect copyright.PENANAnm6GKbJf07

派翠克發現自己的身體越來越透明了。他即將離開夢境。離別前,他向白絃保證:「我絕對不會死。」並說:「我要見奶奶最後一面!」603Please respect copyright.PENANABMQXq6Yqao
603Please respect copyright.PENANAotlib9VCuX
「隨你囉,我阻止不了你。」白絃聳肩,「祝你好運,『夫人的後裔』。」603Please respect copyright.PENANAC4Rcj8M7Sn

603Please respect copyright.PENANAcrSanRQA8I
派翠克向白絃鞠躬,下一秒,他人消失於海蝕門上,周遭場景也變回一開始的河畔。名為「仙境」的夢境,沒有因為派翠克離開而消失;它一直在這裡,保存最重要的東西。603Please respect copyright.PENANAJI8qp4uybA

白絃唱完,身影也消失不見。穿著深棕色背心的中年男子──阿道夫.懷特經過白絃剛才站的地方。代號「白兔」的他掏出懷錶、看了一眼,嘴裡喃喃自語:603Please respect copyright.PENANAGWgnaFmRSv
