2154年12月24日，晚上七點，黑教堂730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPffh7hXJr

730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fWPx1qXK2
主辦人──薩拉凱爾教教主致詞後，晚宴在七點準時開始。現場準備許多珍饈佳餚，世界最知名的樂隊在前方演奏，機器服務生送來各式各樣的美酒。原本以為是嚴肅的宴會，沒想到氣氛活潑，像屬於貴族的派對。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRzOTdh8wp
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf4XlRJHxA
「……。」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PWbITK7YS
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDlSL3feOv
不過，他現在很尷尬。謝賢讓他和謝綠獨處，顧爾不能在隨侍在旁。李晴煬和謝綠靠在牆邊，不知道要說什麼。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQDQhPaMee
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTl56ZKR7F
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzjw4ukYZh
「觀自在菩薩。行深般若波羅蜜多時。照見五蘊皆空。度一切苦厄。舍利子。色不異空。空不異色。色即是空。空即是色……」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApl3MnlGb7
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1ptdBUXRR
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1tIBDTmFc
和晚宴氣氛很不相符，他竟然從謝綠身上，聽到和尚誦經的聲音；因為太另類，李晴煬對她留下深刻的印象。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUIiOUNrLo
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHW681kx2q
而且，謝綠很漂亮──李晴煬無法否認，眼前的女孩讓他十分著迷，尤其是草綠色的眼睛。她渾身散發一個「靜」字，小小年紀，彷彿看透很多事。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbS02gcV9C
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF8gRCpXnw
「你是第一次參加？」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYyWZO1Hrl
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnU20M8DTs
李晴煬不知道怎麼開話題，謝綠率先開口，打破尷尬的氣氛。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nP3vGbK49
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwLlR2Yid6
喝著專為小孩調配的無酒精雞尾酒，李晴煬回應：「嗯。」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0aGw28OUS
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk83CtGlXcN
「之前為什麼缺席？」謝綠單刀直入地問。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpht60U6wRF
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlXnVxGmkx
「討厭人多的地方。」李晴煬簡單回答。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D1DcWrblz
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkuUDt5S9z
「今年又為什麼來？」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYTLwybYOB
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfHxA4XBgJ
「見見世面。」李晴煬聳肩，「不能一直窩在家裡。」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG8eP09Xeb
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh429KNt0Jz
謝綠沉默。李晴煬覺得剛才的氣氛不錯，換他問：「妳呢？每年都來？」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOXqNF2tCa
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokQX6x70Bp
「八歲開始，這是第三次。」謝綠沒有逃避他的問題，老實回答。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGabiWyA94G
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxxW5OeTz6
「為什麼？」李晴煬看著謝綠厭世的臉，「妳不像喜歡這種場合的人。」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjklJLql2R
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3GnF4wILR
「還能因為什麼？我是被拖來的。」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoPNjdoSre
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vIiIRnJwk
李晴煬聽見謝綠嘆氣的聲音。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssHhEAZMdp
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlejNra4qb
「在場的人，妳都認識嗎？」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4A8WIhSrr
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVB1pjF7fV
謝綠一定知道十大家族的事，李晴煬決定問問，以免氣氛又變尷尬。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eEPL4s6tt
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfpOIMks1s
「大部分知道。」謝綠看向他，「你都不認識？」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK4wu00Wh4
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ5m9rQcWb
李晴煬點頭。謝綠沉默幾秒，「好吧。」帶李晴煬去角落，好一次看到全部的人。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuUJlbQFIP
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUaRPA0vtP
「我一直很想問。」前往角落的路上，謝綠上上下下審視他一番，「李門的穿衣品味都這麼怪？」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiEOIWw8Pb
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9sMrU61rT
李晴煬想回答「妳以為我願意嗎？」但不像自己會說的話，改用挑釁的語氣：「怎麼？本少爺這樣不好看？」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBtNRHhFpQ
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH8zXVJzh1
「嗯。」謝綠秒答，補了句：「活像個娘炮。」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FeixYPKF3
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFzMw2yHvO
「娘炮」兩字像一隻箭，狠狠從李晴煬胸前穿了過去。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtysjXUFMzn
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7mPvAlIvJ
「妳的穿衣品味才奇怪！哪有人古裝下面搭短裙！」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzZfxdm6HA
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRodYhCchC
「比較好活動。」謝綠哼了一聲，「我父親都沒說什麼，你管那麼多幹嘛？」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvjLVZeT2b
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5e1VceFZI
「妳……！」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQVUmdwOMW
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1q4lszFOA
「啊，這兒就行了，要從哪一家開始介紹呢……？」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkOcTIlzOn
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPpuxm3MZk
謝綠規避掉話題。雖然表情不多、年紀又小，但她講話很不客氣，顯然沒在怕李晴煬。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyjnZuGvoE
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXlqKCxwzn
李晴煬撇了撇嘴，順著謝綠手指的方向看去──那群穿醫師袍的年輕人。李晴煬率先說：「希波克拉底一脈。」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPYqAaQVhu
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEfPfUzmYY
「你知道？」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WQeecvwqr
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT7KK3cuKB
「聽來的。」李晴煬說：「詳細不清楚。」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgunfhR1Tr
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFXfMPvCjR
「嗯，看來我高估你了。」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY0zGW2zNQ
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjQSok6qQO
李晴煬的嘴角抽動幾下。謝綠不理他，專心介紹：730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj8l7vruLQ
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE9KGToB03
「希波克拉底一脈，十大家族第九，擅長領域是醫學，家族成員都是醫生、藥劑師、法醫、醫檢師……全世界的醫院，背後的經營者都是他們。」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GbfSmTDjp
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQHgYUFpHT
謝綠雙手環胸，用一種非常帥氣的姿勢，靠在牆上。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82cQJtek80
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WmN81yo9d
「傳說他們的家族成員，全是古希臘時代的醫學大師──希波克拉底的後代。但年代久遠，沒有統一姓氏，才用祖先的名字統稱。」謝綠說。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT8I5qKRvZ
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh4VYE8WhY
「他們平常都這樣，穿醫師袍晃來晃去？」李晴煬問。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9n9g9L58o
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfSGfDkELx
「每個家族都有自己的穿衣風格。希波克拉底一脈以醫生為榮，醫師袍是身分的象徵。」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy76KqDwPQ
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsX1pwopNp
謝綠的眼睛改看向另一群人。李晴煬順著她的視線看去──把滾筒衛生紙裹在身上的貴婦。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4n5ro2mc0
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnIX41LIiJ
「雷蒙一家。」謝綠說：「十大家族第八，時尚業的壟斷者。」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7ren3odB6
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzkEDty8jA
「時…時尚？」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ884oQm5jAv
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT6kEVUHZz
李晴煬挑眉。不只捲筒衛生紙，有人的髮型像花椰菜，有人的洋裝像菜瓜布，還有一個女人的披肩是黑色垃圾袋。時尚真難懂。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5gyyDUZ3x
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWG4eEhXqx
「今年算收斂了。」謝綠看出李晴煬的疑惑，告訴他：「我去年，看過把色鉛筆插在頭上的。」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk2fnUuMVk
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnowCilEYA
「穿這種衣服還能笑……要是本少爺，恨不得死了個算了。」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1u4K4iirZ
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rWFdWEbgK
李晴煬說完，聽見謝綠發出輕輕的笑聲。沒想到她會笑──李晴煬心想，心情不自覺好起來。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28DeRlTVKl
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0GG3WVlAr
「雷蒙一家旗下的品牌，從服裝到飾品，還有專門培訓藝人的經紀公司；另外，他們家的物流技術也很創新，不少零售店搶著和他們合作。」謝綠故意補充：「而且，他們家的人都很漂亮。」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFCt1UMuDx
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEIOsb3Y1z
「……不把那身恐怖的衣服脫掉，本少爺無法體會。」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfybFJfjXt
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f4950pqzD
視線離開雷蒙一家，李晴煬改看向另一群──正在會場中央表演魔術、射飛鏢、拋彩球的馬戲團人士。晚宴的氣氛之所以活潑，都拜這群小丑所賜。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NKhsz7Ho7
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHZc0Z6HjJ
「那又是誰？」李晴煬問謝綠。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkkYMZav5M
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS4HRGuhr1
「史密斯馬戲團，十大家族第七，慈善事業。」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPiNGZrTdW
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis13zVPatC
謝綠說完，其中一名史密斯變出一堆彩色氣球，逗得周遭人笑聲不斷、表情又驚又喜。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91M0Lg4ALl
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbLuY4VoeL
「史密斯居無定所，他們在全世界巡迴演出，收入都拿去照顧弱勢，是聲望很高的家族，但也因為這樣，他們不是很富有。」謝綠說。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHSWI4KoUA
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNCOwETT1x
「聽起來很偉大。」李晴煬附和。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2oLrGhZ1T
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe93m1TAkPl
「坦白說，他們挺奇妙的。聖誕晚宴是史密斯少數參加的活動，其他正式場合，一概不參加。」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FPGTN5814
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8sQFpSBR6
介紹完，謝綠的手指向另一群人。李晴煬剛好想問，畢竟，他看那群光速戰士很久了。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FIUqz9OoR
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9jU8jaPHB
「白與金，統稱Platinum。白家壟斷科技，金家壟斷軍火，兩家因為婚姻關係結合。十大家族第五和第六，是非常強的軍火聯盟，絕對不容小覷。」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwvYNQjARd
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQfGvHwD5x
李晴煬對他們的服裝更感興趣。謝氏像武俠小說的角色，Platinum則是遊戲，會發射高速激光的那種。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsIomkISZU
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPM5b3zu6N
「他們漂浮在空中？」李晴煬踮腳尖，試著看清楚。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbSz8f7LNZ
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg1PcuRwuc
「嗯，他們腳底的投影圖騰，那是漂浮裝置。」謝綠說。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLirdCbnNU
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOhwro4bbZ
「背上那又是什麼？翅膀？」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxopYGFdOc
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lsf9C2ByX
「那也是投影，圖案會隨他們的情緒變化……你看，變成橘色了，那個人現在心情很好。」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP4KQMRKhq
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26i3mZI87J
Platinum的穿衣風格非常前衛。移動時，兩腳懸浮在空中，衣服還會飄起來，浮空時的畫面很好看，但科技感太強，給人的感覺很不真實。明明是人類，卻把自己弄得像機器人。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivWpIumvcD
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC6Poyn0LH
「黑色教袍的是薩拉凱爾教、十八世紀貴族打扮的是李門、像從漢朝穿越來的是謝氏……這些你都知道了。」謝綠把胸前的手放下來，看著李晴煬的臉，「還有不知道的嗎？」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8cX3vjmqk
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZRG7R8v0W
「妳怎麼只介紹八個？」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUqcrkiGFt
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64ywBuvUsD
李晴煬發現，前後的高宇維與夏家，謝綠都沒有說。聽完他的問題，謝綠意味深長地陷入沉默，沉默持續了一陣子。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsHTJuTzY4
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LPj9SbWYF
「沒介紹的兩家，都沒有出席。」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEyB9fp4LQ
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV9PZtYAzz
不等李晴煬問，謝綠就告訴他：730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvGLOnjao5
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCje3WvPNxR
「夏家……十大家族第十，是非常奇怪的家族。他們比高宇維還神秘，沒有人知道他們在做什麼、裡面有誰，連他們住在哪都不知道。」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JRTQPBpcq
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GvlMoUsek
「這樣也算十大家族？」李晴煬立刻問。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwti2PsmI2l
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5tEYlhIZh
「我也不知道，但神秘歸神秘，他們也沒做什麼。」謝綠聳肩。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdQo4XZrKE
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG3dkFKygu
「高宇維呢？」問完夏家，李晴煬再問另一個缺席者：「他這麼跩，這種場合都不來？」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqw1zZjyOv
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFohjaBchF
「別說『這種場合』，高宇維連自己的活動都不出席。」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ4BSMtSLK
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ1eokPzz0
謝綠說，似是對高宇維的缺席見怪不怪。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFIVFwtLEL
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnoYzYH94N
「我不知道怎麼說，高宇維好像不喜歡其他家族，想和我們劃清關係，可是──」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT04GG4sxN
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzBsj7JAOR
謝綠把話停在這兒。她的眼神突然變得十分銳利、似乎在警戒什麼。李晴煬順著她的視線看去，赫然對上一雙眼睛，嚇得他後退兩步。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFAwnLR1BF
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVs68HH3c2
「……。」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2fF7eGe42
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoljuokJ1K
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyIxhHzsOm
一名白色頭髮的男子，正從遠遠的地方看著他們。730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGMkUyHcHY
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp5Ai7F0JW
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ1J0k1QEQ
男子是整個會場，唯一穿著正常西裝的人。他離李晴煬和謝綠很遠，但筆直的視線彷彿要把刺穿。李晴煬不自覺感到緊張，旁邊的謝綠瞪了回去，跟李晴煬說：730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyu56OWz85
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFelTzOwXg
「可是今年，高宇維派他的親信來了。」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajNPqoXfH7
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHaM3S6t7M
謝綠不敢掉以輕心，就怕一不留神，男子會做出不利她的舉動。李晴煬問謝綠：「親信？」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSCAcfSzuQ
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YplsMXjTW
「對，親信──你聽過神與畜吧？他是第一幹部、地位僅次於高宇維。」730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpDWhXvaRu
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMTG6dSeDA
謝綠的雙刀已經蓄勢待發。她一手握住刀柄，說出那個禁忌的名字──730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwlyYuPOWG
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydnDG6iHkC
「里奧．懷特。」
