神與畜 - 夢魘症14

冰涼的雨滴打在臉上。尼可拉斯回神，發現自己來到一座陌生的都市。他人站在十字路口中央，四周被樣式老舊的建築包圍，上方還有鐵路高架，一看就知道不是二十二世紀。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHvPsZmB4x
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EIFVadzHQ
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWSTcqKWrI
嘩啦嘩啦──嘩啦嘩啦──528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOTo1mpe8r
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D9lv4YsQh
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3MuHwqRW6
雨下得很大，尼可拉斯抓好的頭髮都被打回原形，看起來比較年輕，更符合現在的年紀。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEIP1iCiT3
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh1CxptsrZ
「有人嗎？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxT77eD44x
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBVGqg9Cg1
明明是大馬路，卻沒有車，也沒有人，四周寂靜得只有雨聲。尼可拉斯走了段路，發現一條條紫色的封鎖線，上面白色的字寫著主人的名字──Caterpillar。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU1AXMJHSS
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTm6SaObTX
「……？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzwESh1aaT
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPBQtv8VTf
尼可拉斯意識到，這是一百年前的某段記憶，而且記憶的參與人之一是凱薩。他在雨中奔跑，凱薩應該就在附近。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlygCRaDEMY
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc9LVuEBZR
「爸！」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuryhDtw9uO
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3dzrkSNHs
不知道是雨聲太大，還是尼可拉斯發不出聲音。不論怎麼喊，都只有嘩啦嘩啦的雨聲回應自己。尼可拉斯越來越急，好不容易看到紫色的身影，他上前大喊：528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKvsvBM4x4
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLcmZ685qC
「爸！爸……！」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nQHeBo2eK
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkBI76hXtP
第二聲「爸」被吞回喉嚨，尼可拉斯停下腳步。他確實找到凱薩，但凱薩似乎看不到他。他的父親跪在濕漉漉的柏油路，懷裡抱著一個人──一具屍體。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R9DUdx7n1

528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywUxyZ2qgy
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGlTUOMIsO
橘色的頭髮，橘色的西裝，如少年般的秀氣五官，還有一對又長又漂亮的睫毛。雖然沒見過，但尼可拉斯一眼就知道是叔叔。叔叔已經死去，尼可拉斯看著他胸口的大洞……就算不是醫生，也知道那個洞代表什麼。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWyDqaKvpN

528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirSuytw58x
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsL1KtUGmT
雨不停下著。尼可拉斯聽不到凱薩的聲音、看不到表情，但他知道爸爸在哭，因為他的肩膀在顫抖，抱著叔叔的手也越握越緊。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cTBK47orN

528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZTFms8bEy

叔叔胸口的洞，直徑大小和凱薩的手腕差不多──尼可拉斯希望自己沒發現這件事。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL4scVgWoA

尼可拉斯的眼淚和雨一起滑下來。他從沒看過爸爸哭，也不知道爸爸會哭。如果叔叔的水果塔真被喚醒，那麼，自己體內的叔叔會怎麼看凱薩？他會恨殺死自己的哥哥嗎？528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrIbBp9Yuo
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7v46YBfSR
尼可拉斯不知道叔叔的想法，但他肯定，爸爸非常後悔，否則不會醉心於書海與學問之中；媽媽一定也知道爸爸的心情，才對爸爸這般寬容……只有自己什麼都不知道。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJMgHdnljy

528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdQzuzvAQl
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1Wau0Hqw0
陌生的聲音出現在後方，尼可拉斯轉頭，身後站著一名穿著黑色外套、造型很像搖滾歌手的男人。他金色的長髮紮成低馬尾，馬尾從右肩垂落到胸前，表情陰沉，好像隨時都準備哭。尼可拉斯沒看過他，卻覺得很熟悉。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO2mKiDhqe
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99HCnDsc4S
「屍體給我。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJnoH9VIfF
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs5RXCztbu
金髮男人說，但凱薩沒有動作，仍緊緊抱著弟弟的屍體。金髮男人打算自己來，細細的手臂卻被凱薩抓住，力道幾乎要把他折斷。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwepMCtZnAc
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpVfgTrnP9
「……不准碰他。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7L24BA9ga
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7qVgkj6r9
凱薩低沉的聲音夾帶嘶吼。他強迫自己不要哭，用想殺死對方的眼神瞪著金髮男人，「叫夏悠自己過來。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUQeVvqEyi
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXd2J0MhNg
「……。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo45vm5ME2t
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwdHrbakg0
金髮男人的臉浮現陰影。雨聲嘎然停止，周遭一切被吞入白色空間，黑色的汙泥在男人腳下聚集，一根黑色尖刺防不勝防從右方刺出、襲向凱薩；凱薩整個人被打飛，手放開了男人，也放開了親愛的弟弟。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2I7HMck3z
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd7vbe1KwK
「爸……！」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2guKFxBi8
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IpeNwpsEw
目睹一切的尼可拉斯剎那明白，這個人就是紅心傑克──李仲翔，怪不得他覺得很熟悉。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC090JKNE6a
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWxwigsegL
李仲翔瞠大眼睛、瞳孔縮小，冰冷的聲音迴盪在白色空間。另一邊的凱薩吐出一口血，打算站起來，兩根黑色的刺又憑空出現在兩側、貫穿他的左右手掌，痛得他慘叫，整個人被釘在地板上。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWRYt9ppM2
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64XYYECYRn

528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIgU5NrAWC
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7UVcey5NJ
語畢，李仲翔關閉白色空間，卻沒有將叔叔的屍體返回現實。凱薩人躺在濕漉漉的柏油路，黑刺仍貫穿他的手掌，鮮血隨雨水流到馬路兩側。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AWftXcDFY
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEH82h434r
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0U3zW0mWm
他無力反駁。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYehOkIA5O

「尤里……！」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw9p87fu73
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhW5iWJJlW
李仲翔的耳朵似是很好。大雨一直下，他仍聽見凱薩微弱的叫喊。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBChvxrpoh
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQhZvtSeav
「把尤里，還給我……！」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyR2VjRJbv
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx7N8cbrsM
雨水沾濕李仲翔的頭髮，金色的瀏海遮住眼睛。尼可拉斯看不見他的眼神，卻清楚看見李仲翔勾起的唇角，笑起來跟李晴煬一模一樣。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v5zeqvSIq
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6GUaFRZnN
「辛苦了，書蟲。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lbNNsawRh
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuJqilavKt
李仲翔話甫落，周遭場景剎那變換，雨聲、高架鐵路、十字路口全部消失，凱薩和李仲翔也不見。尼可拉斯被傳送到另一個地方，火車的「隆隆」聲傳入耳中，尼可拉斯竟然認得這裡。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQjJj6ZsRP

「初次見面。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98RMwJ6gYy
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmA7uELsAL
清亮的聲音從身後傳來。尼可拉斯轉身，一個穿著橘色西裝的人正坐在奧斯卡的書桌，用一雙橘色的眼睛看著他。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkejj55PNk
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspoSCDbMCr
「你……！」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb3sK3bLkg
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtASNySRNg
剛剛才看過，只是尼可拉斯不明白，他為何活了過來。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQExPy2M2T

「呵，從沒聽過的稱呼，感覺好新鮮。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkbuGQWx3I
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcJAJ3hvLD
叔叔起身，身高比尼可拉斯矮得多。他有一張稚嫩的臉，說話時，隱約能看見尖銳的牙。要不是穿西裝，看起來只有十六歲。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwefJyWuLqr
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhRWgAK8BL
「我的名字是尤里烏斯．史密斯，第一代水果塔『三月兔』。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbq0KfVM4V

「史密斯？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7Qa93SPoT

528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HLCwMmfos
尼可拉斯停頓，「我爸真正的姓氏是史密斯？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQXMvpCdA8
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHC4AcGDGz
尤里烏斯點頭，「他現在的外表和姓氏，都是公爵夫人給他的，和我劃清界線。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6UnYccyDE
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcnt8QJUz7
尤里烏斯打量尼可拉斯。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZytCHOLUZ
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG26kB4p8Hz
「不過，我沒想到哥哥會有人模人樣的兒子，懷特的基因真是強大。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdIEGI3ejG
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FSVidbDjU
「你知道我是誰？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIIuCx8YYy
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPMmZO4WCh
「當然。」尤里烏斯微笑，幫尼可拉斯拉平皺褶的領子，「我一直在看你，一直在你的身體裡。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VrKjsNrwu
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTErzcp2AiB
尼可拉斯這才明白，眼前的叔叔是他體內的水果塔。因為艾莉絲使用共鳴，他才能這樣進到夢境、與叔叔面對面交談。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj2dquR1EQ
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC1tWcMMT7
看著在幫自己翻領子的尤里烏斯，尼可拉斯覺得叔叔人挺好，看起來就像受過良好教育的貴族子弟。他想到剛才的記憶片段，問尤里烏斯：「剛才的畫面……！」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNMq9gAMog
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6s86vMN9K
才剛留下不錯的印象，卻在講話的瞬間，尤里烏斯一手抓住尼可拉斯的脖子，指甲幾乎要掐進去。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD2FKnDgf4

尤里烏斯眼神驟變。小小的鵝蛋臉異常慘白，他發出一聲很長的嘆息，好像一隻蛇在低吟。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufteijqDM4
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5ACTZ5C9U
「李仲翔就是這麼噁心，哥哥也是個窩囊廢。」尤里烏斯嘴角向下，「而你，也是個缺乏警戒心的廢物。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y7Kq1RCdP
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOXnmc9urB
「……！」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlT8S87xhg
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVxKK4lEzV
尼可拉斯不知道，這位有著少年外表的叔叔，其實是在蜘蛛之前、艾莉絲體系的最大敵人。他敢一人單挑白絃、與白兔鬥智，想殺死艾莉絲的心情堪比紅鶴。要不是哥哥凱薩背叛，他根本不會輸，艾莉絲體系早就毀於他手。他是最瘋狂、最不講理的三月兔。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2QFzPr5pS
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID7AkXkBIz
「我和哥哥，是那批吃到水果塔感冒藥的小孩，也不幸地被水果塔選中。水果塔殺死了我們的父母，我和哥哥離開家鄉，向紅心皇后、及她用水果塔製造的艾莉絲復仇。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy4X3mfOb5
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTZUuJDuna
尤里烏斯單手將尼可拉斯舉起。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc7ZTRfdEn
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZbneiCZ8n
「結果，我那愚蠢的哥哥背叛我、殺了我，還跟白兔的女兒結婚……親愛的尼可拉斯、我寶貝的姪子，你要我怎麼嚥下這口氣？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCppDRhqwiV
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUtfrN3Itl
尼可拉斯感到呼吸困難，脖子幾乎要被尤里烏斯掐斷。他必須回去救派翠克，自己不能死在這──他從腰間抽出液體炸彈，直朝尤里烏斯的臉扔去！528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dToHAqLja
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZJB3lniQC
「嘖。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcOct0ayCK
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFZTjGYYuH
尤里烏斯躲開，液體炸彈「碰！」一聲、炸毀身後的書桌。尼可拉斯趁亂掙脫，但尤里烏斯像鬼一樣飛到旁邊、手刀砍來，某人突然衝到尼可拉斯面前，擋下尤里烏斯。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWMQPGfwyn
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUT6aR7OF5
「……艾莉絲？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh52hR3xkO
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLtEyn9Fwl
尼可拉斯瞪大眼睛，艾莉絲竟然闖入他的夢境。尤里烏斯沒有像紅鶴一樣、看到艾莉絲就抓狂，反而變得更冷靜，冷靜地令人畏懼。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXezYSeYSXH
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkj0LN6Y4O
「敢來見我？體內只有棉花的人，連羞恥心也沒有。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNJGOcC2y8
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL0s7DUsHW
艾莉絲沒有回話，漆黑的眼珠凝視著尤里烏斯。雖然憎恨，尤里烏斯卻覺得那眼神不對勁。艾莉絲除了剪短髮，也有什麼地方改變了。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bKSK3TUHP

尤里烏斯問了一個讓尼可拉斯困惑的問題。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBVsKQzOGU
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIsp9kRkPJ
「妳不是她。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuqKK4b3FW
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0N9vOJYS7
尤里烏斯不可能誤會。她是他的仇人，他用一輩子的時間追殺她，沒有人比他更了解「夏悠」。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppHUyALaBG
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5poAtSOHDD
「除了艾莉絲，我還能是誰？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDLXAfL3Hz
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeObkMXETb
艾莉絲回答。黑色的瞳孔沒有生命，猶如一尊會動的娃娃，與尤里烏斯知道的「夏悠」天差地遠。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGU8QBf6ik
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoeyRDser6
「尤里烏斯，你不能殺這孩子，這違反規則。」艾莉絲說：「而且，他是當今唯一擁有三月兔的人。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88m1d9v7zE
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa8GDPuNbn
「我不在乎，以『水果塔』存在於世，對我而言是恥辱。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7AyaTdaED
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6uV1t6eKh
尤里烏斯收起攻擊姿勢，雙手環在胸前。比起殺尼可拉斯，他認為有更重要的事必須釐清。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCWrePQYVl
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XO0CIYoEW
尤里烏斯問：「我死後，你們發生了什麼？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWCvq5zXJ8

「為什麼不回答？」尤里烏斯逼問。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3sGEXGpxs
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlxACv7QB9
「現在的領導人是瘋帽。」艾莉絲閉眼，「尤里烏斯，你不是理性的人，不理性的人會做出多瘋狂的決定，不用我解釋。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7q8cO9wAd
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pFVh7ReuN
尤里烏斯陷入沉默。十秒後，他什麼都知道了，直接問：「妳要我做什麼？」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJpK76RNqF
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2OufniWjY
「把力量給他。」艾莉絲指著尼可拉斯，「希望你有這樣的自覺，尤里烏斯。你早在一百年前死去，現在的你不透過尼可拉斯，意志與力量無法延伸到現實。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKgeGEVgPK
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiZf71NcOy
聽到這番話，尼可拉斯替艾莉絲捏把冷汗，幸好叔叔沒有發飆。尤里烏斯不像凱薩，他只做對自己有利的事。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYiPIHuIXM

「哼。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16F1zYOFDJ
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTglUW5EcZ
這世界瘋了，對自己非常不利的陰謀正在醞釀，尤里烏斯不能坐視不管。他是三月兔，他是尤里烏斯．史密斯、與艾莉絲體系纏鬥最久的男人。哪怕死，也要死得陰魂不散。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xTiWlUiW1
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRl6e2kWS9
「讓開。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1nTUUeMCR
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE5R5aSA70
艾莉絲退到一邊。尤里烏斯來到姪子面前，右手繞過脖子、按住後腦勺，將尼可拉斯的頭壓下來，告訴他：528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAukVJG4Y5

528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VbsTkIv10
脖子傳來痛處，尤里烏斯竟然咬了他，也把尼可拉斯內心的束縛全部咬斷。一隻蛇從解封的洞穴爬出，尼可拉斯嘴裡出現兩顆尖牙，眼睛也變成和尤里烏斯一樣的橘色。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3daWseefm

下一秒，尤里烏斯放開他，尼可拉斯的意識陷入空白。等他驚醒，人已經回到現實、躺在艾莉絲的膝上，彷彿被噩夢嚇醒的孩子。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdISSJV6Ki4
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OmHv8eCGW
「歡迎回來。」艾莉絲看著他橘色的眼睛及尖牙，「尼可拉斯，還有，三月兔。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQznJHIJ8U8

尼可拉斯起身，原本紛紛擾擾的思緒都安靜下來。他環顧四週，牆壁斑駁，地板碎裂，舞台布幕被扯成好幾片，整個空間因為羅笙、凱薩、派翠克三人的打鬥，變得一片狼藉。那些球體似乎都被派翠克解決，他人正和凱薩一起對抗羅笙，但二對一仍顯膠著，派翠克和凱薩都受了重傷。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWOjnLb15K

「小孔雀！」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj3ks1nFaX
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluMmYOaHcZ
在與羅笙交手的第八十四回合，派翠克的槍支全滅，腹部被羅笙重擊、整個人從空中摔回地面。凱薩正要救人，綠色的程式碼突然閃現四周、向他聚攏，凱薩的身體猶如遭到千刀萬剮，鮮血從遍體麟傷的身體流出。他差點跪地，但忍住疼痛，用沒受傷的左腳撐住身體。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmHFBId1fP

修長的腳踩在編織的蜘蛛網上，羅笙幾乎毫髮無傷。蜘蛛糖覺醒的他，三不五時弄出一堆程式碼和數據。這些數據隨羅笙的指示建構、爆破、攻擊，甚至變成蜘蛛腳。明明是學芭蕾的人，現在搞的像工程師，這讓凱薩很不爽，但打不過人家是事實。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBsEPReiwY
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieW2bNlomP
「算了。」羅笙閉上眼睛，「送你去跟尤里烏斯作伴，也是功德一件。」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxcejUmjHu
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lLDQMUHFm
語畢，羅笙拔刀，凱薩已經無力反抗。他不怕死，早在尤里烏斯斷氣的那天，他就不珍惜這條爛命。如果死亡是尤里烏斯給他的懲罰，他甘願接受，只是──528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK4XMC4lEP

他放不下妻兒，始終沒好好陪伴，自己是失職的丈夫和父親。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWYMpzYkVp

528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl01JUrd1aV
本來想死前看看兒子，結果尼可拉斯不見，凱薩也在這時發現，一條金屬製的鐵軌出現在羅笙腳下，那是他絕對不會認錯的鐵軌。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqACudgxEtM

下一秒，一列橘色的火車從羅笙左方、沿著鐵道飆飛而出。羅笙來不及反應，人當場被撞飛出去。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT7NTRssCS
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGYN6lZCbS
「磅！！！」528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRFRvebEYR
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GQQNb641m
被撞到白絃的雕像上。浮空的鐵軌沒打算饒過羅笙、一路延到他所在的位置，火車也在下一秒沿著鐵軌衝過去──羅笙被二次撞擊，白絃的雕像應聲碎裂，石塊與羅笙一同砸落舞台，巨大的聲響伴隨震動、空間頂端出現裂痕。羅笙雖然沒死，但連續兩次重創，給他帶來不小打擊。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxVVaeb2HN
528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pYNYK9oLS
凱薩屏住呼吸。他的兒子──尼可拉斯．克里斯托多羅普洛斯，人站立在瓦礫石塊的頂端，雙手抱著昏迷的派翠克．雷蒙。塵埃刮起的風拂過他銀白色的頭髮、橘色的眼睛及尖牙。相信科學的凱薩一度產生錯覺。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQTw1I09nB

鐵軌與火車──三月兔的水果塔。凱薩彷彿看見那個不管天氣多熱，都堅持要穿西裝的人站在那邊。528Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgNF2PSYj8

尤里烏斯．史密斯，曾經用生命對抗艾莉絲體系的人──他死去的弟弟，回來了。
