2154年2月19日,下午六點,靈薄十二號男子監獄757Please respect copyright.PENANAiSpyV8dwru
757Please respect copyright.PENANAF1bgdLbOTG
757Please respect copyright.PENANAPwDYOLz3um
靈薄十二號男子監獄位於N區的小島上。除了囚犯,有時會出現生態學家,來這裡做研究、觀察海洋生態,是一座身兼觀測站功能的監獄。然而,由於預算不足、沒有事務型機器人,沒有人統整研究結果。雷伊正是想到這點,才想把李博洋和尼可拉斯調過去。757Please respect copyright.PENANALJ17zQ4uix
757Please respect copyright.PENANAmxluRRdWlx
「這建議不錯!剛好因為人手不足,我快被那群科學家煩死了。雷伊,你真會幫我解決問題,太感謝你了!」757Please respect copyright.PENANAEiHc9Bul0M
757Please respect copyright.PENANAwgvlmHnz5B
人手不足的問題困擾所長已久,因此,聽到雷伊的建議,所長二話不說答應,雷伊對此也非常高興。757Please respect copyright.PENANAtXsA7lFzae
757Please respect copyright.PENANAaLBjIzfcff
「1118號做事細心,可以做資料建檔;1107號很會畫畫,能幫忙畫解說圖。只要派人監督,我相信不會有問題。」雷伊信誓旦旦地說。757Please respect copyright.PENANApQSb3iFxDI
757Please respect copyright.PENANAdV372Wp9YT
「好!但要派誰呢?你光第三棟的事就忙不完了。」757Please respect copyright.PENANAWtWKljeqza
757Please respect copyright.PENANAXqB7pBtJi6
「請交給我吧,所長。」757Please respect copyright.PENANAXLccAFoPVw
757Please respect copyright.PENANA1W1AM8Axtn
所長室傳來第三個聲音。看到和自己穿著同樣制服的人,雷伊當場皺眉,不愉快地開口:757Please respect copyright.PENANAsZI7RxnbZZ
757Please respect copyright.PENANADbG5FcYQAD
「……赫爾曼(Herman),你來幹什麼?」757Please respect copyright.PENANAbMgrmpWE4x
757Please respect copyright.PENANAPI9dGMd20J
看到雷伊,名叫赫爾曼的男子也皺起眉頭。除了制服,雷伊和赫爾曼沒有其它共通點。雷伊有頭夕陽色的紅頭髮,雙眼清澈,像一隻溫馴的拉布拉多;赫爾曼則剃了個五分平頭,臉上有一條從左邊的太陽穴、延續到右臉頰的傷疤,活像隻德國狼犬。757Please respect copyright.PENANAi6S3HBCEfR
757Please respect copyright.PENANAncebFF7Z5q
「我才想問你在幹什麼,雷伊。」757Please respect copyright.PENANAY2OWRqcbmJ
757Please respect copyright.PENANAWdvKF0SjOI
赫爾曼銳利的視線掃向雷伊。他們以前是同學,現在都是主任,但兩人對待犯人的方式不同,漸行漸遠,惡化成互看不順眼的關係。所長室瀰漫著濃濃的火藥味,連一旁的所長都很無奈。757Please respect copyright.PENANAeqzFuXDczF
757Please respect copyright.PENANAwrg16R9234
「所長,關於監督1118號與1107號的工作,就交給我吧。」757Please respect copyright.PENANAkt280TSMHN
757Please respect copyright.PENANAgb8ytZsdVw
赫爾曼義正嚴詞地說:「我這裡來了幾位新人,有多餘的人手能協助,麻煩所長批准。」757Please respect copyright.PENANAxfIFH6fBpo
757Please respect copyright.PENANApOD3c0z3SC
「喂!那是我第三棟的囚犯,不需要你們第六棟的人插手!」雷伊當場反彈。757Please respect copyright.PENANA1XvgPf1FX4
757Please respect copyright.PENANA74xVjwIBkK
「我是以整個監獄的角度出發、才提出這項請求。敢問雷伊主任:第三棟有多餘的人手,能監督這兩名囚犯嗎?要是監督不彰、兩名囚犯越獄,你要怎麼負責?」757Please respect copyright.PENANAT2UnnbOmUY
757Please respect copyright.PENANAMqU4SV4Uu7
「你……!」757Please respect copyright.PENANAZnzdqJPaRW
757Please respect copyright.PENANAUWkmVEqe9P
說得理直氣壯,但雷伊心裡清楚──尼可拉斯之前被關在赫爾曼的第六棟。因為囚犯集體自殺、查不出原因,第六棟受到嚴厲的懲處。赫爾曼想趁機報復,雷伊不能把尼可拉斯交給赫爾曼,何況,赫爾曼對囚犯的方式,是出了名地殘酷。757Please respect copyright.PENANAmxSWQIhtKh
757Please respect copyright.PENANAA6ko5IAViK
「嗯……赫爾曼說的有道理。」757Please respect copyright.PENANAUHoUqQPvmr
757Please respect copyright.PENANAemiPhuhkQ9
所長沉思一會兒,告訴雷伊:「這樣也好,既然第六棟有閒置人員,就讓赫爾曼幫你一次吧。」757Please respect copyright.PENANA3VKvmpZDXT
757Please respect copyright.PENANAsAkV9UXXGY
「所長!」757Please respect copyright.PENANAWrqdevEBaK
757Please respect copyright.PENANAyERybNIOkb
雷伊想反駁,赫爾曼卻瞇起眼睛,插話:「雷伊主任,不想把囚犯交給別棟,是基於私心嗎?」757Please respect copyright.PENANAIzon1kZqDZ
757Please respect copyright.PENANAqS9Z7d3llx
「鬼扯!我只是看不慣你的作法!動不動就把囚犯往拷問室扔,有私心的人是你!」757Please respect copyright.PENANAWNyfLTefkT
757Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5lxebDAC9
「我不會平白無故把人扔進去,也有向上呈報,理由都非常正當。」757Please respect copyright.PENANAvzNTtKWGwS
757Please respect copyright.PENANAb0hzCHiVCm
赫爾曼臉色一沉,壓低聲音:757Please respect copyright.PENANAexUeIjFkdr
757Please respect copyright.PENANAXkXUjJ5Tcv
「搞不清楚狀況的是你。他們是囚犯,他們犯過罪,他們毀了好幾個家庭。監獄是用來實行正義的地方。你對囚犯仁慈,那不叫正義,是給被害者二度傷害!」757Please respect copyright.PENANAAG8Vl4THmu
757Please respect copyright.PENANAqD9vRh8Vnb
「……!」757Please respect copyright.PENANAA775SfDxqg
757Please respect copyright.PENANAlDA72ynt3Q
雷伊想辯,但這麼多年,不管講得再好,赫爾曼也不會接受他的觀點,就像他無法接受赫爾曼的價值觀。他懶得浪費口水,別過頭、不說話了。757Please respect copyright.PENANAn4KMSWmqlJ
757Please respect copyright.PENANA0P3MvmulXG
「別爭了,兩位年輕人,你們的觀點都不對,也都沒錯。」757Please respect copyright.PENANAvKm6D6qQP1
757Please respect copyright.PENANAKtcj82TU9U
因為知道他們的心結,所長沒有斥責他們,反而兩手各放在他們的肩膀,和藹地說:757Please respect copyright.PENANA3lpJXBE9Oh
757Please respect copyright.PENANAmJmr4yxwiG
「囚犯到底有沒有人權,坦白說,我自己也沒有答案,但赫爾曼的觀點和聯合政府──或者說高宇維──一致。我們不是制定法律的人,只是執行者;所以雷伊,暫時放下你的善良,那不適合我們的職位。」757Please respect copyright.PENANAknik5nHHtU
757Please respect copyright.PENANAoVItpFWzIv
「……。」757Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8xDT5sIwO
757Please respect copyright.PENANA1rfs9eH6Wy
雷伊沒有說話。他只是基層的執行人員,對於體制,他的影響力如同螻蟻,這個世界聽不到他的聲音。赫爾曼能適應這個體制,但雷伊辦不到。尼可拉斯罵他只會服從上級,因為他找不到反抗的理由。757Please respect copyright.PENANA6Rks7jnxXO
757Please respect copyright.PENANA06On6aZB13
「……我明白了,謝謝所長。」757Please respect copyright.PENANAtSnMkdo7B4
757Please respect copyright.PENANAZy6AjBZU33
雷伊低頭,比了個鞠躬的手勢後,便離開所長室。赫爾曼盯著雷伊落寞的背影──他就是個笨蛋,這點無庸置疑。757Please respect copyright.PENANAAHRe0xHi7V

2154年2月20日,早上九點,靈薄十二號男子監獄757Please respect copyright.PENANAHDxLIIPuJ7
757Please respect copyright.PENANAvfquFYslDo
757Please respect copyright.PENANATZYozoOcf2
因為要把研究成果做成圖鑑,李博洋的工作,就是把觀測站拍到的照片,畫成圖鑑用的插圖。謝天謝地,李博洋在觀測站的工作很順利,簡直是為他量身打造的工作。757Please respect copyright.PENANASlcNvVH4HQ
757Please respect copyright.PENANAtcYXFMs9Y6
另一方面,尼可拉斯的工作,是簡單的文書處理,把生態學家的觀察報告建檔、歸類。雖然和李博洋待在同個辦公室,但兩人各忙各的,尼可拉斯幾乎不用說話,工作內容也沒想像得糟。757Please respect copyright.PENANAxanVEe9Y4x
757Please respect copyright.PENANA6JHDQfg8Dx
然而,讓他不爽的是獄卒──他一眼就認出,那是第六棟的傢伙、赫爾曼的手下。那些人不會給他好臉色,尼可拉斯避免和他們眼神接觸。757Please respect copyright.PENANAqvXHW9YYMi
757Please respect copyright.PENANA7E5flCRHXa
「嗯──好累喔。」757Please respect copyright.PENANABxDo0fqujq
757Please respect copyright.PENANAg8oyOK7rO2
「1107號,勞動期間禁止說話!」757Please respect copyright.PENANAC5n3pGJnaO
757Please respect copyright.PENANAE0zFgrwg1X
李博洋沒接觸過第六棟,這才是尼可拉斯擔心的地方。李博洋一伸懶腰,其中一名獄卒──伊諾克(Enoch)便走到旁邊、狠狠拍了李博洋的頭,差點害他撞到桌子。757Please respect copyright.PENANAN5OAveH3KW
757Please respect copyright.PENANAVOKJTaB06F
「因為很累嘛,小氣鬼。」757Please respect copyright.PENANApsRRsE5K0E
757Please respect copyright.PENANAG4zppsEUw6
李博洋說完,另一名獄卒──艾力克(Eric)也走到旁邊、狠狠拍了李博洋的頭。這一次,他的額頭真的撞到桌子。757Please respect copyright.PENANApdM29zJsMv
757Please respect copyright.PENANAqnGhGOMt8R
「竟敢頂嘴?哈!都怪第三棟主任那副德性,每個囚犯都沒大沒小,哪天越獄也不奇怪!」757Please respect copyright.PENANAgMsKHVENyn
757Please respect copyright.PENANA12Z6OHPpwQ
「……!」757Please respect copyright.PENANAqfa6GINtzT
757Please respect copyright.PENANAbbVlEmPJO6
看到李博洋被打,尼可拉斯正想發飆,卻被李博洋用眼神阻止。他露出輕鬆的微笑,儘管額頭紅了一片。757Please respect copyright.PENANAnLd1yN3J3d
757Please respect copyright.PENANA95O9SD924S
「獄卒大人,我可以去廁所嗎?今天早上的優格好像壞了,我肚子很不舒服。」李博洋笑著問。757Please respect copyright.PENANAQGgmJjpoiY
757Please respect copyright.PENANAqMdJBzJXEE
「伊諾克,你陪他去!兩分鐘內回來!」艾力克說。757Please respect copyright.PENANAo4ODIDOZff
757Please respect copyright.PENANAh7g86WAuiG
「啊?為什麼不是你去?」757Please respect copyright.PENANA0qABu6n1gC
757Please respect copyright.PENANAymLX7KZ1cg
「猜拳決定。」艾力克露出奸詐的笑容,「剪刀、石頭、布!你慢出,再一次!」757Please respect copyright.PENANAX7do43K0KX
757Please respect copyright.PENANAqKdubKRBvy
「喂!輸不起啊!」757Please respect copyright.PENANAPAdFgsjjo8
757Please respect copyright.PENANA8DyWubkTRQ
「剪刀、石頭、布!我慢出,再一次!」757Please respect copyright.PENANATfRU4dYiUh
757Please respect copyright.PENANALasnGNqAVe
「靠!哪有人這樣的!」757Please respect copyright.PENANAvlUnWKwBYS
757Please respect copyright.PENANA9xFiJE2Lp8
「剪刀、石頭、布!哈哈,你輸了,快去吧!」757Please respect copyright.PENANAzBiU5Hbj0m
757Please respect copyright.PENANAn490lISYum
伊諾克罵了聲髒話,只能把李博洋扔到廁所,狠狠地關上門。757Please respect copyright.PENANAizLZlISc9Z
757Please respect copyright.PENANArQaXc2qkS2
「兩分鐘內出來!」757Please respect copyright.PENANAJudhEQEZTr
757Please respect copyright.PENANA7qHHeuzBV1
伊諾克走去洗手台邊,同時,李博洋閉上眼睛──他當然不是來上廁所,只是需要一個密閉空間,以免被人看到他憑空消失。757Please respect copyright.PENANAMjQ8gevQdQ
757Please respect copyright.PENANAP1oAoKruG8
「……。」757Please respect copyright.PENANApn1nlkuf1Q
757Please respect copyright.PENANAwQ5Vf6dI4L
再次睜開,白色空間已經開啟,他來到無邊無際的白色中。李博洋拿出事先藏在白色空間的戒指──裡面刻了狼的圖案,也是他作為神與畜的象徵。757Please respect copyright.PENANAH8po3WlmZB
757Please respect copyright.PENANAv0W2emfYnE
「赫密士,你在嗎?」757Please respect copyright.PENANAuDnj16hKKB
757Please respect copyright.PENANApGzBIFkQNM
李博洋戴上戒指、輕輕一轉,3D的投影視窗彈出。下一秒,投影畫面一片漆黑,只有白色的「12」。757Please respect copyright.PENANAgYSzz2ddgB
757Please respect copyright.PENANASRplkw4ZL1
「幹什麼?」757Please respect copyright.PENANAX53Reibc3l
757Please respect copyright.PENANA87yWtVattz
赫密士慵懶的聲音從投影視窗傳來,口氣很不友善。李博洋猜自己打擾了赫密士的睡眠,畢竟,那傢伙一整天都在睡。757Please respect copyright.PENANAJfvAj56I6p
757Please respect copyright.PENANA1f6An1B1vc
「我有事想問你。」李博洋說:「關於里奧大哥。」757Please respect copyright.PENANAnaLjhlvPaB
757Please respect copyright.PENANAUN342DwZD9
「煩死了你不會問他本人嗎幹嘛來吵我?」757Please respect copyright.PENANA5anBhX9Ydm
757Please respect copyright.PENANAUB1ETqp1ol
「因為是不開心的事。」李博洋瞇眼,「關於里奧大哥的妹妹。」757Please respect copyright.PENANAimAARogxYv
757Please respect copyright.PENANAAiEKbTEkCf
赫密士一聽,竟然不再發牢騷──果然是不開心的事。757Please respect copyright.PENANAmM8sv5s2ZD
757Please respect copyright.PENANAtUs57jy6dl
「你從哪裡聽來的?」757Please respect copyright.PENANAOTtiO2mLKJ
757Please respect copyright.PENANAnvIwBjIhT8
赫密士的聲音變低,語速還是很快。757Please respect copyright.PENANAdPTWqyla68
757Please respect copyright.PENANAh4IznXwzAU
「尼可告訴我的。」李博洋燦笑。757Please respect copyright.PENANAfUWPETQUAQ
757Please respect copyright.PENANAu8I2klLaX6
「竟然是他自己說的真有你的啊李博洋才沒幾個禮拜。」757Please respect copyright.PENANAc6FzVe3Ejv
757Please respect copyright.PENANA2zHjNc5Nq9
「因為有共通話題,我們現在感情不錯喲。」757Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZU6wu1Xym
757Please respect copyright.PENANAMLiEdRgZnC
李博洋盤腿,坐在白色空間看不見的地板上。757Please respect copyright.PENANApYVUs0jJvw
757Please respect copyright.PENANAI1CFmO3heH
「看來,尼可沒有說錯。」李博洋嘆氣,「怪不得弟弟被要求耳機不離身,你們這些老幹部,真的很擅長隱藏秘密。」757Please respect copyright.PENANA46Ageq2yfy
757Please respect copyright.PENANA7Isj9HAHPQ
「尼可拉斯跟你說了多少?」赫密士不跟他廢話,直接問。757Please respect copyright.PENANAvxTVEJOLW4
757Please respect copyright.PENANAbApu1hCMib
「不多,『里奧大哥殺了自己的妹妹』、『那女人是尼可的母親』。」757Please respect copyright.PENANAJhF60B0WOO
757Please respect copyright.PENANAqn3M01oEYU
李博洋的心情很平靜,他早就習慣被矇在鼓裡。757Please respect copyright.PENANAOJwjflSePT
757Please respect copyright.PENANASSMMYgINYS
「可以告訴我嗎?赫密士。」757Please respect copyright.PENANAATHqIKcNEF
757Please respect copyright.PENANAdNnnuB58VC
李博洋把手放在胸前,表示:757Please respect copyright.PENANABUf6Y9SLlx
757Please respect copyright.PENANAkS3i08gg2p
「以前,與懷特有關的任務,才不會落到我身上;宇維少爺這次派給我,我應該有權知道吧?」757Please respect copyright.PENANAvYW5uFrd5S
757Please respect copyright.PENANA2k67mqmyY8
「……。」757Please respect copyright.PENANAO5jS9BHWrw
757Please respect copyright.PENANA5dZ6HIUYAw
投影視窗傳來赫密士不太高興,卻也不太難過的聲音。757Please respect copyright.PENANAnRZsx8AdoC
757Please respect copyright.PENANANf9Fh4oLau
757Please respect copyright.PENANARIHKuT1wT5
「里奧大哥的妹妹叫做葛蕾絲。」757Please respect copyright.PENANASVNNBn1HiM
757Please respect copyright.PENANAWctHKydZkv
757Please respect copyright.PENANA8cuZER4FMT
赫密士說:「葛蕾絲.懷特(Grace White)或葛蕾絲.克里斯托多羅普洛斯因為她嫁到希波克拉底一脈變成了醫師娘。」757Please respect copyright.PENANAUn61GsNvk9
757Please respect copyright.PENANAIHNESemDuU
「果然,尼可是希波克拉底一脈的。」757Please respect copyright.PENANAOhRvTCoNtt
757Please respect copyright.PENANARNV6pyGVLS
尼可拉斯的罪名,是『非法進行器官移植罪』。有這種技術的,只有希波克拉底一脈。757Please respect copyright.PENANATLKjOEFqR4
757Please respect copyright.PENANABCkpocK5W7
「希波克拉底一脈沒有統一姓氏葛蕾絲就是嫁給了其中的克里斯托多羅普洛斯家尼可拉斯是她唯一的兒子所以論輩份里奧大哥是尼可拉斯的舅舅。」757Please respect copyright.PENANANxDSKJtxQk
757Please respect copyright.PENANApr5hojYhWi
赫密士用機關槍的語速,說了一堆很難念的名字,李博洋好佩服他的舌頭,也佩服自己的耳朵。757Please respect copyright.PENANAATsWEHoPFs
757Please respect copyright.PENANA6vDiWpaTd7
「里奧大哥的妹妹……葛蕾絲有天賦嗎?」李博洋問。757Please respect copyright.PENANAj9jju3DvX6
757Please respect copyright.PENANAW34IKLrWOf
「有。」投影視窗傳來打哈欠的聲音,「她的能力有點複雜之後有機會再說總之你想知道為什麼里奧大哥把她殺了對吧?」757Please respect copyright.PENANABuJoQPJ4V0
757Please respect copyright.PENANAaJ7IxjSmnI
「我必須從過去的事情下手,畢竟,他和里奧大哥的恩怨不解決,尼可絕對不會加入神與畜。」757Please respect copyright.PENANAPdRARRdCRy
757Please respect copyright.PENANAfafyYaDuB3
「……。」757Please respect copyright.PENANAVS5iCKgls9
757Please respect copyright.PENANAzgf6DN6KLW
赫密士似乎不想提這段往事,但李博洋的話很有道理,他只能如實以告。757Please respect copyright.PENANANXWnkKZ1LZ
757Please respect copyright.PENANAFx7yfRf2Ts
「葛蕾絲沒有你弟幸運。」757Please respect copyright.PENANAwmOn41mnrY
757Please respect copyright.PENANAnTNZrvQdWm
「咦?」757Please respect copyright.PENANArAuOFmLcFX
757Please respect copyright.PENANAv1DfMfKjjR
李博洋沒反應過來,「弟弟?」757Please respect copyright.PENANAlxKCVmI7a2
757Please respect copyright.PENANAiq8cTfnV5w
「她遇到跟你弟弟一樣的事。」赫密士壓低聲音:「但她沒有李晴煬幸運。」757Please respect copyright.PENANA0W95hmZ1x8
757Please respect copyright.PENANAY0iJcqSQq2
「……!」757Please respect copyright.PENANA5bplj0Yn6E
757Please respect copyright.PENANAa302xwu1xw
李博洋是聰明人。赫密士這麼說,他立刻就明白了。757Please respect copyright.PENANAoyKcG7R5dk
757Please respect copyright.PENANAPGaaOnwMjW
757Please respect copyright.PENANAD9kX4NGLIH
蜘蛛。757Please respect copyright.PENANAELG1SLv3XN
757Please respect copyright.PENANAmbrLxCRhxu
葛蕾絲.懷特,也遇到了蜘蛛。757Please respect copyright.PENANA8GBK8wh7Zh
757Please respect copyright.PENANAyP7DkQa6Od
757Please respect copyright.PENANAdyJcFka3QR
赫密士說,李晴煬是幸運的,葛蕾絲相反;所以,當時沒有人救她。757Please respect copyright.PENANAC4KnPXPgO2
757Please respect copyright.PENANAeX8eLbNJg8
「里奧大哥趕過去可是來不及。」757Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9PpIKjO6R
757Please respect copyright.PENANAgLhZSzNc7M
赫密士讀懂李博洋的沉默。他的聲音夾雜嘶吼──雖然不喜歡高宇維,但赫密士對蜘蛛的恨,比高宇維多,也比高宇維深。757Please respect copyright.PENANA0W1YR92eXV
757Please respect copyright.PENANAHUe5opzRMe
757Please respect copyright.PENANAY6ff4PU8Oh
「所以他殺了葛蕾絲。」757Please respect copyright.PENANAOVMWPJHgry
757Please respect copyright.PENANADUSoJ8rg01
「以免葛蕾絲變成第二隻蜘蛛。」
