2157年8月5日,凌晨三點,草原生態保育P區,史密斯列車670Please respect copyright.PENANAUOT9pFIBOv
670Please respect copyright.PENANAYOMfudgbaQ
670Please respect copyright.PENANA98f7DUiAlO
經過長時間的行駛,史密斯列車離開海底隧道、抵達非洲。沿路的自然風光及熱情居民,多少洗刷掉泰勒死去的不安。再幾個月就要實行計畫,史密斯內部不宜再有突發狀況,所有人都在心中祈禱,希望這幾個月能平安順利。670Please respect copyright.PENANAyQJhMbqWgp
670Please respect copyright.PENANAeLgyxmQ15m
安靜的夜晚,排行老三的艾琳.史密斯躺在床上。她最近比較少發作,所有人──包括她自己──以為事情正朝好的方向發展。670Please respect copyright.PENANAy8MqSWsgOK
670Please respect copyright.PENANA7jPnD56eQN
可惜終究事與願違。670Please respect copyright.PENANA1bEpXElo3s
670Please respect copyright.PENANADdXkwUmtM0
「……!」670Please respect copyright.PENANA0QhegpjmR6
670Please respect copyright.PENANAZMoZ9li8gB
沒來由地睜開眼睛,艾琳發現,一名陌生的女孩正站在她旁邊。漆黑的房間,女孩穿著一襲紅色和服,留著可愛的黑色短髮,漆黑的眼珠映照出艾琳驚恐的臉。670Please respect copyright.PENANAQAZ9Pq1JYj
670Please respect copyright.PENANA0JXNd2GTaS
「是誰……!?」670Please respect copyright.PENANAsDTDbn0o51
670Please respect copyright.PENANAETr8Rig1d5
艾琳嚇得裹住棉被、縮到牆邊。房裡突然出現陌生的人,艾琳很害怕,可是,她沒有向外求救。670Please respect copyright.PENANAQxUMRspznD
670Please respect copyright.PENANABmK4gHU4xX
她覺得好熟悉。670Please respect copyright.PENANAEgloq2BngX
670Please respect copyright.PENANAe3JjPF93lr
彷彿在哪見過女孩,或者,與她相似的人。670Please respect copyright.PENANA9pn0yjoQKD
670Please respect copyright.PENANAJxzJkWWxHC
「我是MIO(みお)。」670Please respect copyright.PENANATWNxyrMSYL
670Please respect copyright.PENANAgkmEZHvwZ8
女孩很有禮貌地自我介紹:「MIO的み,MIO的お。」670Please respect copyright.PENANAFxvwPyn1cJ
670Please respect copyright.PENANAAcKaYaXAVo
「MIO……?」670Please respect copyright.PENANAcF1pF3Iz7O
670Please respect copyright.PENANAfu6Wa139BH
聽到這個名字,一瞬間,艾琳感到迷茫。她的意識突然飄到很遠、很遠的地方,嘴巴自己說:670Please respect copyright.PENANAnAebObGFnb
670Please respect copyright.PENANA7bSD8q1rbg
670Please respect copyright.PENANAUbBE3yxUQH
「不是MIA(みあ)嗎?」670Please respect copyright.PENANAh7kcPj8ISX
670Please respect copyright.PENANAoM8q03BKGk
670Please respect copyright.PENANA4tlwHSOvGi
MIO睜大眼睛,剎那,艾琳飄走的意識回來。她不知道自己剛才說了什麼,但顯然,MIO動搖了。670Please respect copyright.PENANAF3c1LCaAP8
670Please respect copyright.PENANAzzsvJaiRR1
「我現在不是MIA。」670Please respect copyright.PENANAte8QywNmJx
670Please respect copyright.PENANAJn3tNvkQuz
MIO動搖的時間沒有太長,她很快就恢復理智,告訴艾琳:「我是MIO,是博洋的MIO。」670Please respect copyright.PENANAmJBwJmUJvU
670Please respect copyright.PENANAMuih6Gj7dn
艾琳聽不懂她在說什麼。670Please respect copyright.PENANAxoxDyQc2JM
670Please respect copyright.PENANAlqW81OgcT1
「妳呢?」MIO突然指著她,「妳是誰?」670Please respect copyright.PENANA1DvoeiUrVD
670Please respect copyright.PENANAppqvbRd2LQ
「我……」艾琳愣了愣,「我是艾琳(Irene)。」670Please respect copyright.PENANA9wT3jhfKNW
670Please respect copyright.PENANAQY3k1WL2XA
「不對!」MIO嚴厲糾正:「妳不是艾琳!」670Please respect copyright.PENANAQJ2VfHZfjZ
670Please respect copyright.PENANA4d9mpkAECf
「我一直是艾琳啊。」艾琳糊塗了,「我是艾琳.史密斯(Irene Smith),我……!」670Please respect copyright.PENANAkwpU14oEmX
670Please respect copyright.PENANAnoVSkZmD86
「妳是葛蕾絲(Grace)。」670Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6FyHVJp3r
670Please respect copyright.PENANAL7U2ko5312
MIO說出了那個名字。670Please respect copyright.PENANA20Guv4k6SA
670Please respect copyright.PENANAAIo9x8i50a
「你是里奧的妹妹、尼可的媽媽。」670Please respect copyright.PENANADBjet7ToAH
670Please respect copyright.PENANA4TR3jJF8fG
「……不。」艾琳的視線飄到一邊,「我不是……」670Please respect copyright.PENANA6sng8uGWHH
670Please respect copyright.PENANAi8Cxcxt1rD
「妳是懷特。」MIO自顧自地說:「嫁到希波克拉底,妳還是懷特。」670Please respect copyright.PENANAU5POPE5OcG
670Please respect copyright.PENANAU7n0duwcdF
艾琳連破碎的語句都吐不出來。就在這時,MIO張開雙臂,面無表情地說:670Please respect copyright.PENANAhHciuYKT9Y
670Please respect copyright.PENANAiwFg5IMSTI
670Please respect copyright.PENANAD2DxPXbrF5
「回來吧,葛蕾絲。」670Please respect copyright.PENANAPc4pVlIyD4
670Please respect copyright.PENANArWzNfg5eLp
──她的聲音來自神社。670Please respect copyright.PENANAqVGrQ6vZ5C
670Please respect copyright.PENANAVyXjvksH9p
「有人渴望妳的回歸,這是以人命為代價的『交換』。」670Please respect copyright.PENANACjqiDFBvZe
670Please respect copyright.PENANA1wpfCgWjFg
──神社供奉的不是高宇維,是MIO。670Please respect copyright.PENANAmNeedkFuja
670Please respect copyright.PENANATOcjjTcstN
「所以,回應這份渴望吧,葛蕾絲。」670Please respect copyright.PENANAbyol7wOlZA
670Please respect copyright.PENANAGdNqZujiVw
──這是「MIO」的意志。670Please respect copyright.PENANA34KanjiOZP
670Please respect copyright.PENANA251SdmIahB
「『交換』成立。」670Please respect copyright.PENANAcvyX5EPW2G
670Please respect copyright.PENANAOzhV9Alyjz
670Please respect copyright.PENANAOcOUSgmwhw
「……!」670Please respect copyright.PENANAcko4tXrkRy
670Please respect copyright.PENANAgTBERwuY7m
話甫落,艾琳的眼前一片空白,只覺得頭很暈、很暈,天旋地轉,彷彿墜入一片未知的黑暗中。她抱著頭,來到一個奇怪的地方。她的房間不見了,床也不見了。艾琳坐在一棵大樹下,空氣又濕又悶,目光所及的地方、長滿白色的香菇,密集得讓人不舒服。670Please respect copyright.PENANAcdlS01ynol
670Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q5yXgZK0q
「這是,什麼……?」670Please respect copyright.PENANAeBx6iGQmYn
670Please respect copyright.PENANAJ877K4H1bb
艾琳試著呼喊,周遭一個人也沒有,只有上千朵香菇圍繞在身邊、虎視眈眈地盯著她。艾琳看得眼花撩亂,打算起身,發現自己動彈不得。670Please respect copyright.PENANAvlcTMh24Ua
670Please respect copyright.PENANAl621SWI9Ye
「啊……啊啊!」670Please respect copyright.PENANAfWpaw0LQKG
670Please respect copyright.PENANAjSa17swaPN
下一秒,艾琳的右手臂長出一朵一朵香菇。她嚇得跌在地上,想把香菇拔掉,但一用力,手臂就疼痛無比,香菇的根已經深入她的皮肉。她的左手臂也長出香菇,然後是腳、肚子、脖子……蔓延到臉上。670Please respect copyright.PENANA7ykHx1vXd4
670Please respect copyright.PENANABqNjyjb8Y5
「不要!不要啊……!」670Please respect copyright.PENANALEueJYi1lA
670Please respect copyright.PENANANhWt1eVarY
香菇正在吸收艾琳,她的身體越來越虛弱,整個人倒在香菇群裡。670Please respect copyright.PENANARdGaZRZiUY
670Please respect copyright.PENANAL6DtDpUwRc
670Please respect copyright.PENANAKhGFo9IxP1

「救……我……」670Please respect copyright.PENANA1bswP84bTe
670Please respect copyright.PENANA7fdMpoikaE
670Please respect copyright.PENANAtzQyBS0bxs
伸出的手停止顫抖,不出幾秒,她整個人被香菇吞沒,一根骨頭也不剩。670Please respect copyright.PENANAHeCdwsbpVX

670Please respect copyright.PENANARWZ4WcaA78
「……!」670Please respect copyright.PENANAqNp7hBu7B5
670Please respect copyright.PENANAHEDbxUovFL
睜開眼睛,葛蕾絲.懷特從艾琳的床上醒來,MIO人已不見蹤影。670Please respect copyright.PENANAsZ2Zj9Dev6
670Please respect copyright.PENANA50WNHyHHwK
「哈……哈……?」670Please respect copyright.PENANAgN4xFIiRng
670Please respect copyright.PENANA6hXSXHkhpK
她喘著氣,一時沒搞清楚狀況,直到看見自己的銀白色長髮,葛蕾絲才意識到,自己復活了。670Please respect copyright.PENANAkCAvIuFjJi
670Please respect copyright.PENANAmBXzQwVFSu
「真的……假的……?」670Please respect copyright.PENANA0Q3WpxN4RY
670Please respect copyright.PENANAlxcx2ywZN2
要復活,事情沒那麼簡單。葛蕾絲發現床頭櫃上放著手機,上面顯示今天的日期:2157年8月5日。670Please respect copyright.PENANAR8mfTDywxR
670Please respect copyright.PENANAKYNPPLmv29
「2157?才十幾年……?」670Please respect copyright.PENANADgB2EeozgO
670Please respect copyright.PENANACR1CfsnVnx
葛蕾絲瞪大眼睛。再怎麼順利,也無法用這麼短的時間復活。所有被寄生體的記憶都留在葛蕾絲腦中,其中,艾琳生前的最後一刻,遇見一名紅色和服的女孩,葛蕾絲知道她是誰。670Please respect copyright.PENANAs0Dkmr6omL
670Please respect copyright.PENANA4kfhVy12Tp
「那個……我記得,是NAGI(なぎ)的女兒,叫作MIA。」670Please respect copyright.PENANAJOPfU15U3W
670Please respect copyright.PENANA29uQyxc4F5
葛蕾絲低頭沉思。她的髮色和里奧一樣,但她沒有琉璃色的眼睛,而是和尼可拉斯一樣的藍色。670Please respect copyright.PENANA2uqazbdTYV
670Please respect copyright.PENANAtofmnjyFDV
「交換……原來如此,是假海龜。用她的水果塔,我確實能立刻復活,但代價是……人命?誰的命?誰跟那女孩許下這種『交換』?」670Please respect copyright.PENANAp23N1Fy1QR
670Please respect copyright.PENANA1kNylnq3aQ
葛蕾絲越想越不對勁,這時,她注意到艾琳的手機桌布。那是一張全家福,所有的史密斯兄弟姊妹聚在一起,每個人臉上都掛著大大的笑容,看起來十分溫馨、幸福,看得葛蕾絲十分心痛。670Please respect copyright.PENANABQp9au507N
670Please respect copyright.PENANAHHWIThJniU
她環視房間。艾琳.史密斯,房間的主人,成為她復活的祭品。強烈的罪惡感湧上葛蕾絲心頭,她看著艾琳的手機桌布,兩行眼淚當場流下。670Please respect copyright.PENANAgQrxYFpa2g
670Please respect copyright.PENANAh9xMBKuDco
「我的天,妳還這麼年輕……!」670Please respect copyright.PENANAJpVtg1bTly
670Please respect copyright.PENANApxErmvyuDM
這名妙齡少女因她而死,葛蕾絲將艾琳的手機放在胸前。雖然沒資格悲傷,葛蕾絲的心還是好痛、好痛……她因艾琳重生,無辜的艾琳卻因她而死。670Please respect copyright.PENANABl5Dlg3oCw
670Please respect copyright.PENANA3DY2zKZDtV
「對不起……親愛的,對不起……!」670Please respect copyright.PENANADPXAmjrjjl
670Please respect copyright.PENANAH9rzy2sU5t
生命自有盡頭,葛蕾絲寧可順應天命,也不要用犧牲他人的方式復活,所以她千交代、萬交代,絕對不能這麼做。葛蕾絲相信里奧,也相信他的丈夫,和MIO交換的不是他們,那又會是誰?670Please respect copyright.PENANAOrZ5mAaFkU
670Please respect copyright.PENANApKtgLoe8Gx
「……。」670Please respect copyright.PENANArq6RDbCnAk
670Please respect copyright.PENANAIt3exF2Rz2
抹去眼淚,葛蕾絲振作起來。她必須在被發現前、逃出史密斯列車,然而,手指碰到窗戶的剎那,警報器竟被觸動,刺耳的「叭──叭──」聲響起。警報響起的瞬間,窗戶也豎起一根根鐵柵欄、當場封死。670Please respect copyright.PENANA8iM6KtQojo
670Please respect copyright.PENANANI77eSenq4
葛蕾絲瞪大眼睛,下一秒,身後的房門被踹開,奧斯卡與眾史密斯兄弟姊妹衝進來,包圍了葛蕾絲。670Please respect copyright.PENANAuVpCnu0itu
670Please respect copyright.PENANAdQV54BpJA2
670Please respect copyright.PENANAhy1cz2FKqX
「果然是妳,葛蕾絲.懷特!」670Please respect copyright.PENANANM79rBCjnF
670Please respect copyright.PENANA4yi1fDrurk
670Please respect copyright.PENANAQg9ZxtNCFt
奧斯卡率領其他十個弟妹,所有人手裡都拿著武器。奧斯卡對葛蕾絲大吼:「死得不乾不淨的東西,妳對我妹妹做了什麼!?」670Please respect copyright.PENANArNtY39agWX
670Please respect copyright.PENANABilzVz6lAs
身為懷特、里奧的妹妹,葛蕾絲自然不是泛泛之輩,她非常冷靜。670Please respect copyright.PENANAomyha26UJD
670Please respect copyright.PENANAAoOHlVydF4
「死了。」670Please respect copyright.PENANAG9erUPYoD7
670Please respect copyright.PENANAeWn5cwA0db
她伸手,將銀白色的長髮撥到背後,「艾琳.史密斯,已經死了。」670Please respect copyright.PENANAI80sgFjALe
670Please respect copyright.PENANAku94Fl7p7V
葛蕾絲的話使現場一片譁然,奧斯卡氣得握緊拳頭,突然,坐輪椅的特蕾莎.史密斯開口:670Please respect copyright.PENANAXMseiTg29g
670Please respect copyright.PENANAltvLCs71ko
「泰勒哥哥也是妳殺死的,對吧?」670Please respect copyright.PENANACXLhbCkw0N
670Please respect copyright.PENANAA8xeNvJSXR
「哈?」670Please respect copyright.PENANAn6vNiacJlG
670Please respect copyright.PENANAm2Pt6LMnFp
其他人沉默。葛蕾絲露出不解的表情,「甘我屁事,那傢伙不是自殺嗎?」670Please respect copyright.PENANAXa5lwdwwHR
670Please respect copyright.PENANACAIYTszHrK
「泰勒哥哥才不會自殺!」特蕾莎咬牙切齒,「是妳!妳用艾琳姊姊的身體,殺了泰勒哥哥!」670Please respect copyright.PENANAB9QU4l0Gvh
670Please respect copyright.PENANAy5vfaBBINn
「小鬼,沒有證據,就別亂說話。」葛蕾絲露出不屑的表情,「沒教養的東西。妳如果是我女兒,我一定把妳打死。」670Please respect copyright.PENANALHKecvWrqg
670Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ln8ZXbOP3
「有妳這種母親,我也寧可死。」670Please respect copyright.PENANArWG85Vdosc
670Please respect copyright.PENANAZB43tNz3Ai
這話不是特蕾莎說的,而是奧斯卡。他的臉色非常可怕,好像矇上一層陰影,看來他相信了特蕾莎的話。670Please respect copyright.PENANAWJlnAn49Zb
670Please respect copyright.PENANA055UPNHabt
670Please respect copyright.PENANAOMDs2lm29q
「殺了她!!」670Please respect copyright.PENANAxxwI6SEq9B

670Please respect copyright.PENANAPUfFXlL34L
670Please respect copyright.PENANAh2nWUqKQiy
奧斯卡一聲令下,所有史密斯一湧而上。葛蕾絲徒手迎擊,用腳踢開所有武器,左右手輪番出拳,打在敵人的胸、臉、肚,將史密斯一個個打退。奧斯卡率領眾弟妹、準備展開第二波攻勢,葛蕾絲以極快的速度,將房裡的長桌踹到他們面前、逼他們後退;奧斯卡等人剛躲過長桌,回神,發現葛蕾絲不見蹤影。670Please respect copyright.PENANA078xFuca0H
670Please respect copyright.PENANAW7KltCzGDe

史密斯列車很大,整整十五節車廂,每節車廂都有半個籃球場的長寬。所有對外門窗都被封死,葛蕾絲知道自己遲早會被抓住,此刻的她需要救援。670Please respect copyright.PENANAGkWoZZwFnZ
