2163年10月2日,下午兩點,政治中心A區,桃花林302Please respect copyright.PENANAlCMiEkMiSu
302Please respect copyright.PENANAU3VipT2FVQ
302Please respect copyright.PENANAtjKvj2r2rb
派翠克、MIO、謝綠、江云格找晶片,里奧和葛蕾絲搶飛行器,羅俊與白欣濛協助支援,李博洋留守仙境大樓,尼可拉斯和檸檬追蹤利維坦。302Please respect copyright.PENANAeTadGR0ab2
302Please respect copyright.PENANAlKpJt8EuwL
至於賴梓綾,新的仙境大樓已經完工,她被高宇維叫回桃花林,執行她下一個任務──李晴煬。302Please respect copyright.PENANAdOxsQNChnX
302Please respect copyright.PENANAZWJ1tVjpos
情況詭異,高宇維想知道問題所在,才讓熟悉紅心傑克的小約翰調查;何況黑教堂事件後,兩人關係變很微妙,李晴煬似乎喜歡待在賴梓綾旁邊,甚至會睡同一間房,互動模式跟另外一組──謝綠和江云格很相似。302Please respect copyright.PENANAayMQwL3Fd4
302Please respect copyright.PENANATKdKuPiWAF
踏入白色的宅邸,賴梓綾和高宇維打完招呼,前往李晴煬的專屬房間。她開門,看到李晴煬坐在梳妝台前,紅色的眼睛盯著鏡子,好像在發呆,又好像不是。302Please respect copyright.PENANAEWvSfIY6OG
302Please respect copyright.PENANAC12BsF3uTO
「……。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAFXwf0ISGfR
302Please respect copyright.PENANAQiqGo5rulu
看到鏡子,賴梓綾忍不住皺眉,因為她不喜歡鏡子,小約翰也是。302Please respect copyright.PENANAKKb91DuV7a
302Please respect copyright.PENANAs3MyPZtDlq
「晴煬。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAjPC134ogb8
302Please respect copyright.PENANAyA86jFaA9U
賴梓綾走到他背後,問:「你現在最喜歡,什麼?」302Please respect copyright.PENANAFwVq4L7PhH
302Please respect copyright.PENANAyGXz2fkfSc
「宇維少爺。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAWYH5Lo4ycv
302Please respect copyright.PENANAvJfpPRtwUE
李晴煬仰頭。高度剛好,他靠在賴梓綾胸前,直視對方的眼睛。302Please respect copyright.PENANAGOUIVV1g2o
302Please respect copyright.PENANAnYAgGtgeo6
「嘿,梓綾。」李晴煬咧嘴一笑,「妳老是問這個,為什麼?」302Please respect copyright.PENANAtbhFyXDeKy
302Please respect copyright.PENANATZzph78kRY
「因為,我,不知道,你是誰。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAYLLyQnS1RO
302Please respect copyright.PENANAvk3u4WWgD4
這是賴梓綾兩年來的心聲。她不知道自己在面對什麼,但聽到的答案從沒變過,都是高宇維。302Please respect copyright.PENANApRsSMFcW4e
302Please respect copyright.PENANA8v883NT1oW
「不管我是誰、變成什麼樣,我的答案都不會變。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAxSXsO5CwUN
302Please respect copyright.PENANAwOFAbBrvLs
說完,李晴煬閉上眼睛,好像聽到什麼,突然跟賴梓綾說:「柳樹。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAY2rQFswZjk
302Please respect copyright.PENANAfAsAAjlca3
「柳樹?」302Please respect copyright.PENANAAwP9EasT5Z
302Please respect copyright.PENANAXvsDcEZY3G
「一陣風,葉子拍打,輕柔的,害怕離別。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAqkyWdeWERQ
302Please respect copyright.PENANAPLJ5aMxVxC
他聽見另一個聲音。李晴煬深吸一口氣,又莫名其妙說著:「指甲。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAbyAAAHYk2L
302Please respect copyright.PENANAwCTzFNbSHg
「指甲?」302Please respect copyright.PENANAXMuPWAWSrV
302Please respect copyright.PENANA2opLHykSwh
「刮在手術台,尖銳刺耳,無法掙脫,也無法放下。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAIWasOwcb1H
302Please respect copyright.PENANArgNcY7YsxN
睜開眼睛,李晴煬微笑,問賴梓綾:「宇維少爺擔心我,是嗎?」302Please respect copyright.PENANAPFXGrj38ku
302Please respect copyright.PENANAOlrnm9i98W
賴梓綾點頭,「他想知道,兩年前仲翔,為什麼,失敗?」302Please respect copyright.PENANAdguxb4NcoL
302Please respect copyright.PENANAcY2OnppPQW
「不,爺爺沒有失敗。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAdVsst3SLgP
302Please respect copyright.PENANA8MgKJLx6RU
嘴角的弧度消失。李晴煬沉默三秒,失落地說:302Please respect copyright.PENANA5HXLSzARiY
302Please respect copyright.PENANAOJ6ZbndlBi
302Please respect copyright.PENANATYb5VKHQSE
「我的白玫瑰不見了。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAOC3TOrfDDa
302Please respect copyright.PENANAI4IYTAAZLp
「只剩我,還有爸爸,我們跟爺爺一起。」302Please respect copyright.PENANApDRMzYGyKy
302Please respect copyright.PENANAip8VpF6OgJ
302Please respect copyright.PENANAdYU5BvY1k5
「……。」302Please respect copyright.PENANASk3n1QB70l
302Please respect copyright.PENANAe6BltUPokA
一個字都沒聽懂。賴梓綾沒有質疑李晴煬,順著他的話問:302Please respect copyright.PENANA3jtJu7z1l7
302Please respect copyright.PENANAlY7IGnsjg2
「爸爸,李康?」302Please respect copyright.PENANAkOAkMcPoH9
302Please respect copyright.PENANABbGBZqofD2
「嗯……」302Please respect copyright.PENANAVu3uzERs7j
302Please respect copyright.PENANABoJ17NTsfM
李晴煬陷入恍神,眼神渙散,瞳孔沒有聚焦。302Please respect copyright.PENANAOIdXKdJiGH
302Please respect copyright.PENANAPmDU2gEsvS
「我之前都沒發現。」他說。302Please respect copyright.PENANAC4aoy8zaLy
302Please respect copyright.PENANAuNidkFzbFv
「發現什麼?」賴梓綾再問。302Please respect copyright.PENANAVnQEnRj1sQ
302Please respect copyright.PENANA9I9W5VD41N
「爸爸一直……在我裡面。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAL2tqdPp45A
302Please respect copyright.PENANAYTyi8gKDaU
李晴煬──紅玫瑰看著鏡子。他沒看到賴梓綾,只看到站在後面的李康,兩手沾著顏料,手指畫在兒子臉上,是紅玫瑰的紅色。302Please respect copyright.PENANADfSOCaA5AZ
302Please respect copyright.PENANAq1TrBWGFcy
302Please respect copyright.PENANAkb52pBAQYz
「我的白玫瑰,他沒有死。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAqRveSelsrp
302Please respect copyright.PENANA2kr84lwIMu
「跟我一樣,爸爸也在他裡面……小叔也是。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4yjQNikNG
302Please respect copyright.PENANAkXfcCyYkyV
「他們保護我們。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAmjWCfCjPT6
302Please respect copyright.PENANAMPzTx7V4f9
「用愛……用愛保護我們……一直在一起……」302Please respect copyright.PENANAeuGOhm96Uh
302Please respect copyright.PENANAaolPxrGOJf
302Please respect copyright.PENANAA3mqwDE7MI
紅玫瑰的表情很像嗑藥。賴梓綾遮住他的眼睛,動作十分小心,害怕驚動什麼,不讓他看鏡子。302Please respect copyright.PENANAYtev1SJQ4U
302Please respect copyright.PENANAKpTq6bKrd8
「……呵。」302Please respect copyright.PENANATcHg6tPC5K
302Please respect copyright.PENANAyRr0ZcWbSu
遮住眼睛似乎奏效。紅玫瑰──李晴煬醒來,拿開賴梓綾的手、起身,與白頭髮的少女面對面。302Please respect copyright.PENANAe4iJ7qxmVT
302Please respect copyright.PENANAaiYDcfBoZ0
「跟宇維少爺說,不用擔心我。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAINxvhX6FsE
302Please respect copyright.PENANA4FAX2hVNJ2
渙散到清澈,李晴煬的眼睛像血。他一手放在胸前,連同項鍊與胸針,向高宇維保證:「無論發生什麼,他永遠是我的第一,也是唯一。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAES35vluSee
302Please respect copyright.PENANAeI82qsoj9D
賴梓綾──小約翰,切換回男孩的聲線,告訴李晴煬:「我的任務不是報平安。瘋帽要解釋,『你為什麼還沒變成仲翔?』他要一個解釋。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAG3RsbS6LFW
302Please respect copyright.PENANAwIIoQYUrqo
「……。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAYWIZvfmFzt
302Please respect copyright.PENANAMA7aO1Cb9P
小約翰一說,李晴煬的表情──小約翰不會形容,李晴煬在用……掠奪的眼神凝視他。小約翰直覺不對、後退兩步,李晴煬卻突然逼近,兩根手指猝不及防,伸到小約翰嘴裡。302Please respect copyright.PENANAt6wNhs9ksa
302Please respect copyright.PENANA4RuSfgo8SM
「唔……!」302Please respect copyright.PENANAiY3MNGYgc8
302Please respect copyright.PENANAS5yH9cxeTg
舌頭、牙齒,手指碰到口腔的每個角落,伸向喉嚨……小約翰的下巴被李晴煬掐住。幸好時間不長,李晴煬的手指快速抽離,上面有小約翰的唾液,還有──302Please respect copyright.PENANAtet9kdxt8N
302Please respect copyright.PENANA7k4TQQtDgj
「……!?」302Please respect copyright.PENANA2NDlWNJ69D
302Please respect copyright.PENANAG6aJEFgM2t
302Please respect copyright.PENANAD55C9GmFul
花瓣。302Please respect copyright.PENANAbcrxOdsuHd
302Please respect copyright.PENANAy4MFkzSbjo
薄薄的、小小的,紅色的玫瑰。302Please respect copyright.PENANAwSBBkQHy2V
302Please respect copyright.PENANA0menK1tnVn
302Please respect copyright.PENANAAGD9pbx7oW
「抱歉,我不知道怎麼解釋,但可以給妳提示。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAC6rlP8DsCs
302Please respect copyright.PENANAaPGB4MeMaq
夾在手指間的花瓣。李晴煬鬆手,紅玫瑰的花瓣落到地上,消失不見。302Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1qQwYfuHi
302Please respect copyright.PENANA4mCwge6Uat
「去一趟墓園吧,梓綾。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAEkO8iCpIT1
302Please respect copyright.PENANAAjvEDK9Kbo
李晴煬邪佞一笑,「妳不會失望的。」302Please respect copyright.PENANA33RuLG2eJA

302Please respect copyright.PENANAPrMc4b0msP
302Please respect copyright.PENANATBrJINZxG4
黑教堂事件後,由於檸檬表現優異,尼可拉斯便順水推舟,說簡單的外派任務可以交給她,讓檸檬離開仙境大樓、獨自行動,以此瞞過高宇維和里奧,與其他蜘蛛接觸。302Please respect copyright.PENANAGepUjiY1eX
302Please respect copyright.PENANAeduFqxc6eC
302Please respect copyright.PENANA7HVY8XfH9t
「小心李晴煬,不要離他太近。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAgWOtV4fafd
302Please respect copyright.PENANABg4dFyd8P5
302Please respect copyright.PENANADego6KUsE9
愛琴海,某座小島的沙灘,尼可拉斯和檸檬難得休戰,兩人肩並肩坐在一起,你一句我一句。302Please respect copyright.PENANAWSXChHk8B7
302Please respect copyright.PENANA0fslS7eN9a
「我知道。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAtZM1AZDa6J
302Please respect copyright.PENANAJo7zI8hUzL
檸檬兩手抱腳,下巴靠著膝蓋。302Please respect copyright.PENANA20f6Ezrs7i
302Please respect copyright.PENANAXMhb0kLiZF
「因為他,你才跟宇維少爺建議,讓我繼續追蹤利維坦,不要回去。」檸檬回想會議內容,看著海浪說。302Please respect copyright.PENANArxCNNkM5Oi
302Please respect copyright.PENANArJ2FU9tAmJ
「在確定李晴煬的狀況前,妳少跟他接觸,戒指都不要聯絡。」尼可拉斯警告:「被他發現妳是蜘蛛,我也救不了妳。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAW6H7Mvpioa
302Please respect copyright.PENANAymZdhgsBPa
「……。」302Please respect copyright.PENANA2HrQh1myzA
302Please respect copyright.PENANAmRQgKvIi9h
「說到利維坦,」尼可拉斯問:「他跟妳是什麼關係?」302Please respect copyright.PENANAnJUPCjeRyB
302Please respect copyright.PENANAWgiuFhnP5n
檸檬回答:「凝羽姊姊複製我的數據,做出來的人工智慧。」302Please respect copyright.PENANALgV8edskn0
302Please respect copyright.PENANAIRZ3FJg9gz
「數據?」尼可拉斯挑眉,「又是蜘蛛糖的專有名詞。那是什麼?」302Please respect copyright.PENANAqnsWL7sAVv
302Please respect copyright.PENANAfjMjBt0syh
「在蜘蛛的系統,萬物的外型、功能、思想、情感、知識……都可以數據化。」檸檬說:「越強大的蜘蛛,可以操控越多數據。」302Please respect copyright.PENANA0OQn98fyQq
302Please respect copyright.PENANAjs50a2mPH9
尼可拉斯大概明白。既然利維坦來自檸檬,他和檸檬就像雙胞胎,兩者存在某種連結。302Please respect copyright.PENANArU2sfky8pc
302Please respect copyright.PENANAty7fLPKNZ6
「媽的,如果利維坦是妳,妳絕對是個心理變態。」302Please respect copyright.PENANA0EKWUq6Xtc
302Please respect copyright.PENANA2UnWq8Zkfg
尼可拉斯從口袋拿出打火機,點菸。302Please respect copyright.PENANAFcBYyyNqU1
302Please respect copyright.PENANAAZwO2eQ2im
「他這兩年殺了幾萬人。」尼可拉斯問:「紅鶴叫他做的?」302Please respect copyright.PENANAHLdTCbNRfJ
302Please respect copyright.PENANApf7FXNeaW6
「不,操控利維坦的是凝羽姊姊,但她……不太穩定。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAMUixHrhARZ
302Please respect copyright.PENANAvlowFPWVLX
檸檬說得委婉。羅笙說郭凝羽是瘋子,確實,檸檬這兩年充分領教,郭凝羽待在凝雪寺就好,不要外出。302Please respect copyright.PENANAr3mJ2mIsBY
302Please respect copyright.PENANAxWrgwStnRN
「妳沒辦法控制利維坦?」尼可拉斯再問。302Please respect copyright.PENANAKlmaN2wftL
302Please respect copyright.PENANAfNCgPkZg5Y
「一直在試。」檸檬說:「我用鶴哥哥教的方式,嘗試和利維坦連結,但還沒成功。」302Please respect copyright.PENANA9307AqYAmQ
302Please respect copyright.PENANAhJpme30m7d
在檸檬眼裡,羅笙和尼可拉斯的地位已經一樣,都是討厭的「哥哥」。聽到檸檬這麼稱呼羅笙,尼可拉斯差點吐血。302Please respect copyright.PENANAIQ1X6eSHBV
302Please respect copyright.PENANA2k08yE1ev7
「好消息是,利維坦不討厭我。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAN5Z93bXQmt
302Please respect copyright.PENANA8GQcvacx9Q
回顧這兩年的一來一往,利維坦似乎把檸檬當成同伴,會讓她知道位置,喜歡跟檸檬待在同個地方。他像台殺人兵器,只要檸檬在,利維坦就不會啟動。如果沒有她,利維坦造成的死亡人數,絕對不只萬人。302Please respect copyright.PENANA5qRjefLsO6
302Please respect copyright.PENANA3rfsylOTFp
「妳能追蹤利維坦,確實是好消息。」尼可拉斯吐菸,「但『一個沒有水果塔的小鬼,為什麼可以追蹤利維坦?』神與畜遲早會懷疑。」302Please respect copyright.PENANA940FRCRMin
302Please respect copyright.PENANAu3WACTILi7
「至少現在不會。」檸檬說:「我必須趁他們忙,三個月內控制住利維坦;如果沒趕上,就算宇維少爺沒有,爸爸也會懷疑。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAhfH7nMSPAL
302Please respect copyright.PENANAe8vhEerKZi
「唉,妳那老爸啊……」302Please respect copyright.PENANAzSYTYGnmDq
302Please respect copyright.PENANAXZbhdjtbY5
尼可拉斯點到為止,沒有說下去。302Please respect copyright.PENANAc8rl4uwtJt
302Please respect copyright.PENANAUiHRToNhHm
「……咦?」302Please respect copyright.PENANAs2vSt901eW
302Please respect copyright.PENANADZO97hyUfI
五分鐘過去,檸檬突然睜大眼睛,表情錯愕。尼可拉斯問她:「怎麼了?」302Please respect copyright.PENANAti7Wp4y9jp
302Please respect copyright.PENANAXvm86GAauL
「利維坦,他聽到我們討論李晴煬,所以……」302Please respect copyright.PENANAxlCWFYvtn0
302Please respect copyright.PENANAmZumB0ISe7
檸檬審視系統,發現利維坦用專屬的頻道,傳來一個東西。302Please respect copyright.PENANAbN2MdnNrqr
302Please respect copyright.PENANAlMWR0lkdBZ
「李門?」檸檬眨眼,「他給我李門的錄像做什麼?」302Please respect copyright.PENANAU47DN2dJP9
302Please respect copyright.PENANA9bnoi3mDwC
「我可以看嗎?」尼可拉斯也很在意,「八成跟李晴煬有關。」302Please respect copyright.PENANA3N2Rpn1YFD
302Please respect copyright.PENANATQBr9uTwYI
「嗯。」檸檬點頭,「他似乎……希望我們一起看。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAP1ZV12MPec
302Please respect copyright.PENANAZj6DJWxeLP
語畢,檸檬抓住尼可拉斯的手,兩人彷彿被吸入6D空間。尼可拉斯回神,發現沙灘消失,自己跟檸檬坐在豪華的地毯上,眼前還多了兩個人。302Please respect copyright.PENANAaP69i4nJe7
302Please respect copyright.PENANAKa3wKhaDv8
「金允道和……李康?」302Please respect copyright.PENANAlGACL0SgYJ
302Please respect copyright.PENANAdxlqXP1H3h
看裝潢,是李門的十一塔,還是李康的房間,牆上掛了很多幅畫。檸檬告訴尼可拉斯:「他們不會發現我們,這只是錄像。」302Please respect copyright.PENANA6rdxrVqL10
302Please respect copyright.PENANAZa3r4HeKIE
雖然沒見過本尊,但尼可拉斯從派翠克那,聽過不少十大家族的事。傳聞Platinum司令與李門二爺交情匪淺,看來是真的。302Please respect copyright.PENANAwCl1PgiRHE
302Please respect copyright.PENANA5xwBKaD93X
302Please respect copyright.PENANAGBxvHzNdPI
「結果如何?」302Please respect copyright.PENANAQYOgkbiki7
302Please respect copyright.PENANAnWb8GuFdxh
302Please respect copyright.PENANA8fb8CSVkP2
錄像裡,金頭髮的李康先開口,問坐在對面的金允道:「羅琳娜向來謹慎,你說服她了嗎?」302Please respect copyright.PENANAzKs03nUQcz
302Please respect copyright.PENANAYxW84lT0uO
「多虧你那套說詞,我一字不漏說給她聽,她同意了。」302Please respect copyright.PENANABOL53aMcaZ
302Please respect copyright.PENANADf7Nd55NqW
金允道的外表沒變。尼可拉斯覺得可怕,艾莉絲體系充斥一群不老不死的妖怪,比如他爸,根本活化石。302Please respect copyright.PENANAGjBB1V2xtq
302Please respect copyright.PENANApldQ9qEa1E
「普樂仙斯實驗開始了。」302Please respect copyright.PENANA0AMLWCg2ey

金允道說:「雖然還沒完成,但我有個推測,正想找你求證。」302Please respect copyright.PENANAYnaqXvvFTP
302Please respect copyright.PENANAuoBLGkoG1b
李康微笑,「什麼?」302Please respect copyright.PENANAgqpsADCEvi
302Please respect copyright.PENANAzMHTogLNaP
「你兒子,」金允道開口:「是不是,能聽到什麼『聲音』?」302Please respect copyright.PENANAjg1szOE9nz
302Please respect copyright.PENANAuandCLKnEj
「……!?」302Please respect copyright.PENANAmwFAAx35cP
