2163年10月9日,中午十二點,林葉K區,莫比烏斯學院275Please respect copyright.PENANA5HKM5d0f1H
275Please respect copyright.PENANArb4CagJ2op
275Please respect copyright.PENANAwtJzW1jiG2
午餐時間,莫比烏斯的學生聚集在食堂,吃著稱不上佳餚、但也算美味的午餐。大家露出放鬆的表情,整個食堂都是同學的笑聲,是莫比烏斯的日常風景。275Please respect copyright.PENANAmOi7cgQjBg
275Please respect copyright.PENANAwTlFYl1oIW
「咦?那是派翠克嗎?」275Please respect copyright.PENANASTEuxlY1aG
275Please respect copyright.PENANARghqo9dR6g
「他拿掉口罩了!」275Please respect copyright.PENANARs8Vg4TkTW
275Please respect copyright.PENANAF1GZs9nPZh
「天啊,他真的是男的?太漂亮吧。」275Please respect copyright.PENANA55lDEDy3E7
275Please respect copyright.PENANAB9Gf6XsCnj
派翠克向來不在食堂用餐,今天的他卻拿掉口罩,露出秀氣的五官,走在食堂桌子與桌子間的走道。他不理會同學的目光,一個人默默地走、默默地走,最後停下腳步,看向食堂的攝影機。275Please respect copyright.PENANAUoazxMYtCC
275Please respect copyright.PENANA9qWONI6UgG
275Please respect copyright.PENANACnJcjjFzGk
「李政煥。」275Please respect copyright.PENANA6hEbjG4cOA
275Please respect copyright.PENANAnntNuskVrv
「我知道你在看。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAgjqZJTCAlc
275Please respect copyright.PENANAqRixQ4a959
275Please respect copyright.PENANAV3P8z8tGge
他開口,臉上沒有表情。275Please respect copyright.PENANAAmmk6xDQsC
275Please respect copyright.PENANANfQlWaOZmw
「請你體諒,我原本不想這麼做,我討厭波及無辜。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAluF6LEmjvM
275Please respect copyright.PENANAWmKUMDC2jX
派翠克邊說,右手出現藍色的槍,卻沒有瞄準任何人,而是天花板。275Please respect copyright.PENANAamddqJ970X
275Please respect copyright.PENANAYF9qubQiMk
275Please respect copyright.PENANAlW5e2rOYbR
「你很重視你的學生,我知道。」275Please respect copyright.PENANA1ePXpy561U
275Please respect copyright.PENANADTTQ2bYYaW
「就像藝術家,愛惜自己的作品。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAfIfy82z31M
275Please respect copyright.PENANAa1DUEAV8dF
275Please respect copyright.PENANABlwbQNRRQW
語畢,派翠克開槍,五發子彈全部命中,打破天花板的灑水系統。紫色的毒水狂灑而出,濺到在場同學的臉、四肢、身體。他們尖叫,皮膚被毒腐蝕,露出底下灰黑色的金屬,血管與電線交錯,混雜器官與零件。275Please respect copyright.PENANAlDk81Rgco4
275Please respect copyright.PENANAEELNeHuofQ
「加水稀釋過,毒性沒那麼強,但很痛。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAulTf9mU0LM
275Please respect copyright.PENANAwisA256mAK
淋到紫色的水──自己的血,派翠克當然沒反應。他邁開步伐,一個人慢慢走,不理會周遭,彷彿開啟靜音模式,也開了0.5倍慢速。275Please respect copyright.PENANAPUnsWZHS4Z
275Please respect copyright.PENANAnTSsxl6yCl
「你為他們保留痛覺。會喊痛的小孩,才會依賴大人。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAe0ISCkh63n
275Please respect copyright.PENANAtDnq74DSLK
走出食堂,派翠克的頭髮、臉、制服,都沾染紫色。他停下腳步,看著走廊另一端、氣喘吁吁跑來的人,冰冷的聲音問:275Please respect copyright.PENANAqWG5BngV85
275Please respect copyright.PENANAdHRetvOYZj
275Please respect copyright.PENANAYfV9e4naD9
「我沒說錯吧?」275Please respect copyright.PENANARFQwnaQIp5
275Please respect copyright.PENANApL2Wv0mpPB
「──朴老師。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAaH792k7P5p
275Please respect copyright.PENANAuKAngq4KsO
275Please respect copyright.PENANA0qEBKI1B2k
「……!」275Please respect copyright.PENANA1NtjB0yIGA
275Please respect copyright.PENANAFs4If3o87b
朴賢旭──李政煥趕到現場,聽到自己的寶貝學生在食堂尖叫,正想前去救援,派翠克卻站在食堂門口,槍口對著他。275Please respect copyright.PENANAMWPtfVPhPa
275Please respect copyright.PENANABrVTKX2xAg
「我出發前,赫密士說K區常駐一位Knight,可以協助我。」派翠克說:「不過,K區的網絡被利維坦入侵,這裡就像一座孤島,神與畜不知道那位Knight已經死了。以演技來說,你的表現很不錯。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAR6RE8HgT6D
275Please respect copyright.PENANABlgco4Ccuc
「……。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAIGCZHe1UIj
275Please respect copyright.PENANAM7oY39IgeF
身分被揭穿,李政煥深吸一口氣,似乎在做心理準備,也下定決心。275Please respect copyright.PENANAgxrCh5qarM
275Please respect copyright.PENANAPZrHWZdggY
「晶片是我左腳的膝蓋骨,對嗎?」275Please respect copyright.PENANAXptEz1KjZ1
275Please respect copyright.PENANAULYO74y7hl
派翠克點頭。275Please respect copyright.PENANAueXhY5BqFk
275Please respect copyright.PENANAumZN1IqX8z
「就給你吧。」李政煥眼神堅定,「我願意配合,只要你不傷害學生。」275Please respect copyright.PENANA0kgyLO8TZx
275Please respect copyright.PENANAMATlBL3EOM
「哦?因為是偉大的作品?」派翠克歪頭,「全校都被改成半機器人,確實是樁豐功偉業。」275Please respect copyright.PENANA3peYdNbwlR
275Please respect copyright.PENANAgCsR6yiYLk
「不,他們不是作品!我……」275Please respect copyright.PENANAHaTcVOf4on
275Please respect copyright.PENANAUnKSSChyyO
李政煥的口氣很激動,好像在發表一場演說。275Please respect copyright.PENANAz4Et0DVcqC
275Please respect copyright.PENANAjquFFfa35M
「我想留住他們美好的青春──只是這樣而已!」李政煥表示:「我離開Platinum,是這些孩子接納了我!你不明白他們在學校有多快樂,也不知道面對未來,這些孩子是多麼迷惘、恐懼!」275Please respect copyright.PENANABuxBM1hRZ3
275Please respect copyright.PENANAPOj7fCaUyn
派翠克沒有回話。275Please respect copyright.PENANAaXiMOP1DZt
275Please respect copyright.PENANAay01Trcw3k
「有我的技術,他們就不會長大,可以永遠當學生,和喜歡的朋友在一起!」他反問派翠克:「外面的世界是什麼樣,你比我更清楚!資本主義、十大家族、艾莉絲體系、利維坦……你忍心看他們被世界殘害嗎?我在保護他們!」275Please respect copyright.PENANATBn81I4zDw
275Please respect copyright.PENANAicq7d2Wn54
「……。」275Please respect copyright.PENANA8S476KPEua
275Please respect copyright.PENANAfAV81LQvXM
派翠克沉默。李政煥知道,自己的理念在旁人耳裡,簡直喪心病狂,也是他被逐出Platinum的原因。本以為自己死期將至,對面的派翠克卻把槍放下,跟他說:275Please respect copyright.PENANACzjMckRaHT
275Please respect copyright.PENANAzLeyuyX1r8
275Please respect copyright.PENANAy6m0xVUvg1
「我沒有不認同。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAH8NlmCt354
275Please respect copyright.PENANAwk6zJHDyeZ
「雖然很瘋狂,但『想留住美好的時光』,我可以理解。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAw9gj4yhdkG
275Please respect copyright.PENANA13po2SwbeI
275Please respect copyright.PENANAxUEbVeCEiH
派翠克嘆氣,想起自己的臉,想起給他新容貌的白絃。275Please respect copyright.PENANA3nYtpJSilc
275Please respect copyright.PENANAdb05wHQhaS
「羅琳娜的仙境,就是因為這種想法而誕生,我不覺得你有錯……應該說,身為水果塔繼承人,我沒有資格說你錯。」275Please respect copyright.PENANA4u2jE6lTIQ
275Please respect copyright.PENANA6zzMI9yUI4
派翠克看著李政煥的臉,換問:「既然知道我是誰,擔心我傷害你的學生,為什麼不早點交出晶片?」275Please respect copyright.PENANAWAvYmPz0VV
275Please respect copyright.PENANASPgmJjQwFd
李政煥低頭,看著自己的左腳。275Please respect copyright.PENANATCFZzNwd5r
275Please respect copyright.PENANAEzwkQatbAN
「要是少一隻腳,就不能和他們打球了。」275Please respect copyright.PENANA5nVejip90Y
275Please respect copyright.PENANApALyBVtbcU
李政煥苦笑,也覺得這理由很傻。275Please respect copyright.PENANACw6qeIxX8E
275Please respect copyright.PENANAceOjibJqMg
「運動方面,一個普通人類怎麼贏得了機器?他們笑我球技爛,但孩子們還是會來辦公室,問我要不要一起……」275Please respect copyright.PENANARBjo0DzKyP
275Please respect copyright.PENANA4rnyKGIc13
想起他的學生,大家在教室、體育館、宿舍……那些歡笑的臉龐,李政煥會心一笑。他們早就不是作品,是超越家人的存在。275Please respect copyright.PENANAupegoVOt0K
275Please respect copyright.PENANAeswwQkyD50
「我可以做義肢,但從Platinum偷運的設備材料,都用在孩子上了。」李政煥感慨,「可惜羅俊死了。要是那孩子,就算不在Platinum,他也一定能做出來。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAFTVi9IRM4P
275Please respect copyright.PENANAYiMHF0ZJdt
「……。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3BspHvOTb
275Please respect copyright.PENANAlDn1a678XO
聽到羅俊的名字,派翠克露出不一樣的表情;而李政煥,他似乎讀懂那個表情,驚訝地張大雙眼。275Please respect copyright.PENANAxzuk1MqUPG
275Please respect copyright.PENANAZAnTFFyu7C
「羅俊……還活著嗎?」275Please respect copyright.PENANAjOVcqalCK8
275Please respect copyright.PENANAdC72eNkxCx
李政煥不可置信問。派翠克沒有明說,只是告訴他:「我不喜歡殺人。只要你願意配合,給你一隻新的腳,宇維少爺不會說什麼。」275Please respect copyright.PENANA1OOrPkT0sr
275Please respect copyright.PENANAz0ifTjnHaQ
與世隔絕的學校,裡面的學生是不是人類,派翠克覺得無關緊要,畢竟高宇維的命令是取回晶片,不是趕盡殺絕。275Please respect copyright.PENANAGI6y6IP9Gw
275Please respect copyright.PENANAtSVkYCTSVH
「太好了……」275Please respect copyright.PENANAW1oyyTOYrE
275Please respect copyright.PENANAcV0DSmivKa
還能和心愛的學生打球,李政煥喜出望外。他向派翠克提議:275Please respect copyright.PENANAFwL1Gpa3Gi
275Please respect copyright.PENANAAfBeV6dpHu
「我們先離開K區。這段時間,我會讓孩子們休眠,等我回來──」275Please respect copyright.PENANAoQMR9fxAIr
275Please respect copyright.PENANAGm39G0fr1N
話沒說完,一隻手從李政煥的後背,毫不猶豫,就這麼貫穿他的身體。李政煥瞪大眼睛,派翠克也愣在原地。手的主人站在李政煥背後,派翠克看見對方的臉,開口:275Please respect copyright.PENANAjDWT9ktndR
275Please respect copyright.PENANAFDYdvRxeOW
「班長……?」275Please respect copyright.PENANAVEAZd5fO6g
275Please respect copyright.PENANAPSDjGJjRWJ
派翠克的室友、同學、品學兼優的模範生──馬爾科,冰冷的眼神看著他們,拔出他血淋淋的手。李政煥錯愕、震驚、困惑……帶著複雜的情緒,他雙膝跪下、摔倒在地。上一秒還在說話,下一秒便沒了呼吸,當場死去。275Please respect copyright.PENANAPf2FMf3wIF
275Please respect copyright.PENANAcqOL5QgCrD
275Please respect copyright.PENANAL3JU0maPal
「『羅俊還活著』。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAKNncz0G28U
275Please respect copyright.PENANAHBK8W7WsJj
「──我聽到了。」275Please respect copyright.PENANA26I8gqBXmF
275Please respect copyright.PENANAXZMWOSIHDF
275Please respect copyright.PENANA3jyITtDlbx
語畢,馬爾科的臉、身體、衣服,全部變了樣。原先和派翠克差不多高的人,此刻竟變成金髮的高大壯漢。他披著一件黑色外套,伸手將垂在眼前的瀏海撥上去,露出螢光般的紅色眼睛,左眼下寫著一行紅字:「6.Chris」。275Please respect copyright.PENANAd5sJ2UerSR
275Please respect copyright.PENANAfgm3U2hypt
「你是……!」275Please respect copyright.PENANAXovPj7b3A5
275Please respect copyright.PENANALVrTxDepmS
出乎預料的突發狀況。雖是第一次見面,但紅字暴露對方的身分。派翠克不負籤王之名,不只證人難找、無法和外界聯繫,還遇到羅俊的機器人──「六號.紅王克里斯」。275Please respect copyright.PENANA2k7Gg9EchV
275Please respect copyright.PENANAUbDsAxzWgh
「那小鬼在哪?」275Please respect copyright.PENANAlIesjlQ5K5
275Please respect copyright.PENANAS6MOZQPP5G
將李政煥的屍體踢到牆邊,克里斯威脅派翠克:「人類,說出他的位置,別怪我砍了你。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAddjwe115ps
275Please respect copyright.PENANAP57nrInckw
「無可奉告。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAmFiqho3fA5
275Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8nHjTqwqh
派翠克依舊冷靜。他脫下制服外套、扔到地上,雙手各拿一把藍色的重型機關槍,瞄準克里斯。275Please respect copyright.PENANAoCJJOVFs9p
275Please respect copyright.PENANA3sEKFxpRB1
「他是我的病患,也是夥伴。」派翠克警告:「你不准帶他走,宇維少爺可不允許。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAV8RJYcrB9o
275Please respect copyright.PENANA47cgQGZiCm
「帶他走?哈!」275Please respect copyright.PENANAQfImuvUbiw
275Please respect copyright.PENANA34iWYAcM1t
克里斯忍不住笑了,笑聲充滿不屑。275Please respect copyright.PENANAup7Y8Tyeih
275Please respect copyright.PENANA7bsaWdTJmL
「人類,你給我聽好了。」275Please respect copyright.PENANA2RytFZv27x
275Please respect copyright.PENANAGmnuC66dTk
克里斯往前一步,右手的外套袖子,竟變成一把黑色的雙頭刃,一邊是彎鉤,一邊是尖銳的刺。李政煥的血沿著手臂,流到他的武器上。275Please respect copyright.PENANAm3Se2MtrS8
275Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1kKo49xvJ
275Please respect copyright.PENANAdhTjKwdpth
「我是紅王。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAUg0MEyFkXy
275Please respect copyright.PENANAebBi7SB0CZ
「程式設定,在我這裡都是屁,我從不照設定行事。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAPCGxWE7eXq
275Please respect copyright.PENANAm4EFwpedZf
275Please respect copyright.PENANAvbLy67QmIC
語畢,克里斯的身影消失。派翠克回神,發現對方已經在上方。克里斯手持武器,彎鉤的那端向下劈砍,目標是派翠克的臉。275Please respect copyright.PENANAoi94YSJkKh
275Please respect copyright.PENANASrpP0hAZvz
275Please respect copyright.PENANAEyjkzeGa4Q
「我要殺了他。」275Please respect copyright.PENANA3PqgIwzm5W
275Please respect copyright.PENANAbYehflK9jH
「殺死羅俊──是我的個人意志!」275Please respect copyright.PENANAHu5fdeYC9c
