「以上,是關於獅鷲的報告。」605Please respect copyright.PENANA97qwTUUTMC
605Please respect copyright.PENANANct8qH5aKN
桃花樹下,一張鋪著白色桌巾的長桌,桌子旁明明有四張椅,卻只有高宇維坐在其中一張上,里奧只能站在旁邊,連坐下的資格都沒有。605Please respect copyright.PENANAbqakbYfgMh
605Please respect copyright.PENANAhpo9hvjX7D
「我沒想到獅鷲人在謝氏,也沒想到她會襲擊成員,這是我的疏失,所有責任我一人擔下,非常抱……!」605Please respect copyright.PENANA9aJzQBWNQL
605Please respect copyright.PENANA4XGELIyuxV
還沒說完,一杯裝著熱紅茶的杯子砸到里奧頭上。銀白色的頭髮染上紅褐色,破碎的陶瓷碎片與血混雜在一起,從里奧的臉流下來。605Please respect copyright.PENANATC2Fca4ZNV
605Please respect copyright.PENANAGpeUiCQAEZ
「說過很多次,里奧,不要跟我道歉。」605Please respect copyright.PENANAVmIQFBAGzb
605Please respect copyright.PENANAkmaKBbxkLZ
高宇維的表情很陰沉。里奧知道,高宇維生氣的原因不是白絃,是「抱歉」──高宇維很討厭這兩個字。605Please respect copyright.PENANASv7chWiYbD
605Please respect copyright.PENANANKt7eUfabz
「謝賢說,殺死謝照顏的是獅鷲,謝照顏長期都在她的監控下。」高宇維倒了杯新紅茶,「默認謝照顏反抗我,她的目的不是把我拉下台,是創造對等的力量制衡艾莉絲體系,以免我們……」605Please respect copyright.PENANAc3fOZR6RSF
605Please respect copyright.PENANANM7nL5jlo6
「重蹈覆轍。」里奧面無表情,接話:「以免我們再一次分裂,再一次失敗,再一次害死夥伴。」605Please respect copyright.PENANAl2l4K27pbF
605Please respect copyright.PENANAnUv8xzrf3M
「……。」605Please respect copyright.PENANAZKzMHfvWkz
605Please respect copyright.PENANAdy7Xt4JOC3
「謝照顏已死,獅鷲之後的目標是第三代,尤其是晴煬。」605Please respect copyright.PENANA2Tt5CDvzad
605Please respect copyright.PENANAqyo5e7amc3
把臉上的紅茶抹掉,里奧告訴高宇維:「之後,第三代會不顧一切探尋真相,這對我們很不利。」605Please respect copyright.PENANAd6J4vyosYb
605Please respect copyright.PENANAJjOG1rQeTs
高宇維表示:「一切還在掌控中,我不擔心。」605Please respect copyright.PENANAWqukBLe7Jy
605Please respect copyright.PENANAaGFBpAJI6g
里奧皺眉,「別忘了晴煬的天賦。」605Please respect copyright.PENANAqt6UfpFg8j
605Please respect copyright.PENANAyiq0Bp0fHc
「我警告過,不准他探聽我們的心聲。」高宇維補了句:「我相信他。」605Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6Vzrd5yIY
605Please respect copyright.PENANAFCSzw37oyf
里奧沒有回話。605Please respect copyright.PENANA32AsSoyc6E
605Please respect copyright.PENANAGifBCs8W9R
「你記得嗎?除了仲翔,夏悠不相信任何人……我不會重蹈覆轍,我相信我的部下,尤其是晴煬,他會乖乖聽我的話。」605Please respect copyright.PENANAsERR6VBZMc
605Please respect copyright.PENANAhe6ZwDitCK
高宇維舉起杯子,高高地將紅茶倒入自己口中,不少液體濺到他的臉頰與衣服,但他不在意──他早就不在意自己的事。605Please respect copyright.PENANAVKPSXy7HSw
605Please respect copyright.PENANAZBPOsslgBO
「獅鷲是失敗的領導者。晴煬的事,她不會是威脅,那女人是用來除掉紅鶴的,你不需要瞎操心。」605Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ko8P1rbdf
605Please respect copyright.PENANApHk4Y2wIht
高宇維有足夠的籌碼對付白絃,所以,聽到李晴煬要拉攏白絃,他才這麼冷靜。在高宇維眼裡,白絃不是牌桌上的對手,而是手裡的一張牌。605Please respect copyright.PENANAA0W24tRp94
605Please respect copyright.PENANA6sXEwIggDo
「……。」605Please respect copyright.PENANALxEdNHQaV6
605Please respect copyright.PENANAEuXIL0FM08
至於里奧,琉璃色的眼睛看著高宇維手上的婚戒,原本想說什麼,但想了想,還是把話都吞回喉嚨,繼續面無表情。605Please respect copyright.PENANAa2pVOM1ZOt

2157年10月19日,上午十一點,仙境大樓,二層605Please respect copyright.PENANAPSAnK93ML2
605Please respect copyright.PENANAgYXhfDExL7
605Please respect copyright.PENANAN9OI0DGBwF
尼可拉斯把傷患三人──MIO、李博洋、李晴煬安置在大病房。一個禮拜過去,沒人醒來,昏迷不醒的他們安靜又乖巧,尼可拉斯覺得非常棒,但唯一從白絃手中倖免的謝綠,並不這麼想。605Please respect copyright.PENANAFe0IO6IoAf
605Please respect copyright.PENANAB79qnIzFh3
「克里斯托多羅普洛斯醫師。」605Please respect copyright.PENANABNla7UGbFV
605Please respect copyright.PENANAwBIlRT8hkz
謝綠來到二樓的吸菸區。叼著菸的尼可拉斯一聽到那個稱呼,立刻糾正:「叫我尼可就好,虧妳能把那長得要死的姓氏背下來。」605Please respect copyright.PENANAWwd3M0qGtr
605Please respect copyright.PENANAZtH3Zdn614
「唔,好的,尼可。」605Please respect copyright.PENANAmdig8xz1Xp
605Please respect copyright.PENANAPk4D1dj9Ce
住進仙境大樓、成為神與畜第八幹部,謝綠大致熟悉了神與畜的大家,只是這名銀白色頭髮、黑蛇刺青、抽菸又一天到晚罵人的醫生,跟自己調性差太多,謝綠不知道怎麼跟尼可拉斯相處,口氣才不自覺變得恭敬。605Please respect copyright.PENANA7HMs9zw5Dg
605Please respect copyright.PENANAuPuJiYZE57
至於尼可拉斯,他對新夥伴的第一印象是「穿古裝的矮子」,幸好謝綠現在不穿古裝,多是簡單的白色T恤與牛仔短褲,尼可拉斯覺得這樣比較好看。605Please respect copyright.PENANAhbgqCMLbqz
605Please respect copyright.PENANASC0Tf0VJq3
「李晴煬他們……」605Please respect copyright.PENANAoeZ2LiAFpc
605Please respect copyright.PENANArALs8OIbCM
「好問題,我也不知道那三隻是怎樣。」605Please respect copyright.PENANALVKCSeYYOe
605Please respect copyright.PENANA2lC344CBzM
尼可拉斯知道謝綠要問什麼。他吐了口菸,「傷勢很重,但生命跡象穩定,目前都沒有異狀。最妥當的解釋是深層睡眠,這只能靠他們自己醒來。」605Please respect copyright.PENANAT4j9ULYRJ3
605Please respect copyright.PENANAuL7fB2CTTV
「深層睡眠?」謝綠回想在沉璧園發生的一切,「和白絃有關嗎?」605Please respect copyright.PENANAZDP0obWVDQ
605Please respect copyright.PENANAav7PfRvJ3G
「獅鷲?」雖然知道他們在沉璧園發生什麼,尼可拉斯還是疑惑,「關聯在哪?」605Please respect copyright.PENANA1l803m9uLc
605Please respect copyright.PENANAKQiwSvVayx
「自從見了白絃,我有時會夢到祖母。白絃好像有什麼魔力,每個見過她的人都會被影響。說不定,李晴煬他們正卡在夢裡。」謝綠說。605Please respect copyright.PENANAHDkeDoxe0S
605Please respect copyright.PENANAOumN1noDz2
「妳在有妳奶奶的夢裡看到什麼?」尼可拉斯好像在罵髒話。605Please respect copyright.PENANAwthCqaIDER
605Please respect copyright.PENANAbjSF7cuaUd
「只看到一個綠色的背影,沒有太多畫面。」謝綠反問:「怎麼?你有過類似的經歷?」605Please respect copyright.PENANA8CPlNHK7Rd
605Please respect copyright.PENANAqwbaPj9ryW
「嗯。」尼可拉斯吸一口菸,「你們在謝氏搞破壞時,我這邊也出了狀況,確實跟作夢有關,妳的推論不是沒道理。」605Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0LuRfzxQU
605Please respect copyright.PENANAGKDdFViLWo
謝綠想追問,卻被尼可拉斯打岔。他表示:「如果妳的說法成立,李醜男他們正卡在有爺爺奶奶的夢裡出不來,我們只能做一件事。」605Please respect copyright.PENANAhVkFHGAX35
605Please respect copyright.PENANA68PyEkbqKn
說完,尼可拉斯拉謝綠回醫務室,並塞給她一包泡麵。605Please respect copyright.PENANAHSzY4bS8cE
605Please respect copyright.PENANAUMrKxFAL8M
「妳吃午餐了嗎?」605Please respect copyright.PENANAkQSRwdz8js
605Please respect copyright.PENANATBFmpIrJMp
「還沒。」605Please respect copyright.PENANAQOhP3SSTk3
605Please respect copyright.PENANAEj0slbZSGJ
「很好!吃飯是生物的本能。香味會透過嗅覺系統,傳遞『該起床吃飯囉』的訊息給睡著的人,是對身體最沒有負擔的叫醒方式。」尼可拉斯壞笑,「從今天起,妳就在他們旁邊吃香喝辣!我看是爺爺奶奶強,還是二十二世紀的垃圾食物屌!」605Please respect copyright.PENANAnq5dnAAcZ4
605Please respect copyright.PENANAOa7Khw3QRQ
謝綠還沒反應,尼可拉斯就把她推進病房,「很簡單,熱水泡三分鐘就能吃了,調味包依個人口味斟酌。我先忙,妳快吃,沒吃完不准出來。」605Please respect copyright.PENANAuA7gaGknBA
605Please respect copyright.PENANAeHphCjslO6
「等等……喂!尼可拉斯!尼可拉斯!」605Please respect copyright.PENANAOwZrjKTlay
605Please respect copyright.PENANAUpVaoT9PHR
門就這樣鎖起來了。被關禁閉的理由是吃泡麵……謝綠覺得好荒謬,但她的肚子確實很餓,索性放棄掙扎,隨便找張椅子坐下。605Please respect copyright.PENANA9p83v1HEEP
605Please respect copyright.PENANAalWiBpg2b7
謝綠沒吃過泡麵,花了十分鐘研究食用說明。抱著實驗的心情撕開封膜、加入料理包與調味包、注入熱水,並找本雜誌蓋在上面,等待漫長的三分鐘,坐在椅子上發呆。605Please respect copyright.PENANAbG4J6JwcMO
605Please respect copyright.PENANAJay5chuKJU
仔細想,謝綠來仙境大樓後、還沒一個人吃過飯。一開始躺床療傷,餐餐都是尼可拉斯的助手──派翠克陪她。如今像這樣一個人吃,不禁讓她想起以前在謝氏的寂寞生活,有些百感交集。605Please respect copyright.PENANAY5namdhLY5
605Please respect copyright.PENANAe85Y4YIvEw
謝綠不知道她的選擇對不對,但什麼都不做,就是等謝喬和張夫人殺死自己,或從謝照顏手裡接下她不要的家主之位,加入神與畜是最安全、也最妥當的一條路。謝綠沒有理由後悔,唯一掛心的只有謝頤,謝綠希望妹妹好好的──一定不會快樂,只祈求她健康、平安,這是她唯一能替妹妹做的事。605Please respect copyright.PENANAK6uDQQFCHn
605Please respect copyright.PENANAdW1IYnRy0f
三分鐘到,謝綠掀開蓋子。泡麵色澤漂亮、香味撲鼻,看得謝綠眼睛發光,她迫不急待捧起碗,喝了一口,新世界的大門也向她敞開。605Please respect copyright.PENANAc1qnAj5ZBX
605Please respect copyright.PENANApIloftinIP
「這……太厲害了!」605Please respect copyright.PENANAG4zcxPVFUR
605Please respect copyright.PENANAplJYr4a7pN
謝綠為之驚艷。她吃過不少珍饈佳餚,對食物十分挑剔,但泡麵的味道遠在那些山珍海味之上。離開謝氏,真是無比正確的決定!605Please respect copyright.PENANAih5lzLqhK0
605Please respect copyright.PENANADSYrtBXm50
謝綠喜歡吃。不是葛蕾絲那種大胃王,她喜歡嘗試各式各樣的食物。凡是天上飛的、地上跑的、水裡游的,她什麼都吃,唯獨不吃貓和狗。如果庶民生活能讓她嚐遍天下美食,那麼,敬庶民!敬美食!謝氏去死,泡麵萬歲!605Please respect copyright.PENANANv3Fs1j9Je
605Please respect copyright.PENANAtSYVpercFi
「呼!」605Please respect copyright.PENANAx3ni5s0P1P
605Please respect copyright.PENANADj5gVFpnx3
食用完畢,謝綠感到十分滿足。雖然沒有讓李晴煬三人醒來,但想到明天也能吃美味的垃圾食物,這讓她心情大好。正準備去找尼可拉斯回報,謝綠轉身,一雙大大的黃色眼睛貼在她面前。605Please respect copyright.PENANAq90U5CeGiN
605Please respect copyright.PENANAJUF8JJ3lqw
「……!?」605Please respect copyright.PENANAxb8J6SYAfF
605Please respect copyright.PENANAh7A9pM35C0
謝綠大驚,剛才的好心晴瞬間消散。她立刻出拳,卻被對方閃開、雙腳一蹬,整個人飛躍到窗邊的櫃子,卻也弄倒了花瓶、「框啷!」一聲。605Please respect copyright.PENANA0vtEMMtSwb
605Please respect copyright.PENANA62NXcTXHC7
謝綠太大意了,竟然沒發現病房多一個人,而且,對方早在尼可拉斯鎖門前就在,沒發出一點聲音。605Please respect copyright.PENANAf3YYVgoSJo
605Please respect copyright.PENANA893TGSPSlO
「是誰!」謝綠不知道從哪弄出刀,但刀沒有出鞘,只是擋在前方,警告對方不准靠近。605Please respect copyright.PENANAc0oJgZJoYO
605Please respect copyright.PENANAJdwuTqEJQp
蹲在櫃子上的是一個男人,有著貓咪般的黃色眼睛、顏色很淡的長髮,衣著正常,動作卻不像人。謝綠覺得自己在跟一隻貓對峙,但這隻貓沒有毛,也沒有尾巴,讓她感到奇怪且……熟悉。605Please respect copyright.PENANAoNSa4BkySh
605Please respect copyright.PENANAKJF6MXHQzU
「……?」605Please respect copyright.PENANALGElHutgm6
605Please respect copyright.PENANA3ALCfxpdZ0
對,熟悉。草綠色的眼睛從警戒變成疑惑,一股難以言喻的心情壟罩在心上。謝綠的刀掉到地上,男人從櫃子上跳下,兩人的距離慢慢拉近。605Please respect copyright.PENANAGI3KtiJQH3
605Please respect copyright.PENANAUOa3vNH5H9
「……『笑臉』?」605Please respect copyright.PENANAYWrK7xK9ne
605Please respect copyright.PENANAqZOPjhR55a
男人爬到謝綠面前,手摸上謝綠的臉,無意識說出那個名字;謝綠跪下來,也無意識喚了一聲:「……黛娜?」605Please respect copyright.PENANA94NNkEqSA0
605Please respect copyright.PENANALncV4EDmYJ
那一瞬間,不屬於他們的回憶灌入兩人腦中。墨綠色頭髮的女人摸著棕色的貓……棕色的貓變成妙齡少女……妙齡少女跪在屍體旁痛哭……少女被摔在牆邊,眼睜睜看女人的屍體被帶走……!605Please respect copyright.PENANAMw0YwV32a5
605Please respect copyright.PENANAxcOCjwhjXX
「……!?」605Please respect copyright.PENANA4O9569O6BT
605Please respect copyright.PENANAXLJzVtbYBQ
兩人從回憶中驚醒。謝綠和男人喘著氣、瞪大眼睛,誰也不知道剛才那是什麼,但他們確實看到了。605Please respect copyright.PENANAp0bZnXzoUH
605Please respect copyright.PENANAFmtZRtx7wq
「你……」605Please respect copyright.PENANAHxGelT9d8C
605Please respect copyright.PENANAeAZAGZTTZL
不擅長和異性接觸的謝綠,竟沒有把對方的手打開,反而捧住對方的臉,問他:「我叫謝綠,你呢?」第一次這麼想知道一個人的名字。605Please respect copyright.PENANAH3cdXm7TG1
605Please respect copyright.PENANAaHXwLEpmt7
「……沒有。」605Please respect copyright.PENANAEIs5dl0XC7
605Please respect copyright.PENANA32PH2cRCiJ
男人搖了搖頭,「我沒有名字。」605Please respect copyright.PENANAHlmvrRKxik
605Please respect copyright.PENANAlsbgNLMYlo
謝綠再問:「你從哪來的?怎麼會在這兒?」605Please respect copyright.PENANA9D8puEG88a
605Please respect copyright.PENANAf1xg1QFChe
「我一直……住在街上。」男人說:「被黑頭髮的女人帶走,聽她的話,攻擊粉紅色頭髮的人……我被留在這,一直被關在籠子,最近才被放出來。」605Please respect copyright.PENANAIPG1jH2ICq
605Please respect copyright.PENANAkxfJNrHyH1
原來,他就是搶走李晴煬項鍊、被艾莉絲抱走、咬掉紅鶴一根蜘蛛腳的「貓」。不知為何,他從貓的型態變成人,還會說話。605Please respect copyright.PENANA4CHUbtQOcH
605Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7q6KVMFIl
「他們說我是神與畜……我聽不懂。」貓說。605Please respect copyright.PENANAHEnOLIkXka
605Please respect copyright.PENANAur99TnrPWI
「我也是,跟你一樣搞不清楚狀況。」謝綠微笑,「沒有名字很不方便,我幫你取一個吧。」605Please respect copyright.PENANAinwQeKI29G
605Please respect copyright.PENANACtZOnHqJb7
熟悉的感覺尚未退去,謝綠看著他的眼睛,想起她最好的朋友。605Please respect copyright.PENANALpaK5YY1Hk
605Please respect copyright.PENANA9Yt5LOLcAs
「……格格。」605Please respect copyright.PENANAJoNovG7eGM
605Please respect copyright.PENANAohZFVrf7v3
與記憶中的橘貓重疊。那一瞬間,謝綠把她曾與格格共享的情感、回憶,全部代入眼前的貓上。謝綠的手埋入對方頭髮、將他攬到自己懷中,像在撫摸記憶中的格格,眼中堆滿淚水。605Please respect copyright.PENANALHc6ubuJjr
605Please respect copyright.PENANAvG8YsDHoFM
605Please respect copyright.PENANAMqsLwnxt3M
「你的名字,就叫『云格』吧。」605Please respect copyright.PENANAXBVi8mO0qG
605Please respect copyright.PENANAwF5psjXSvr
「幫我訴說它……沒完成的故事……」605Please respect copyright.PENANAVvZsWxktfK
605Please respect copyright.PENANAWA4zIHmSmJ
605Please respect copyright.PENANASchIwniUbI
謝綠的眼淚很突然,擁抱也很突然。貓雖然不習慣與人類親近,卻沒有推開謝綠,就這樣靜靜靠著,聆聽她的哭聲。605Please respect copyright.PENANAAySOLrjd9h
605Please respect copyright.PENANAIKbDtAbBQF
「……。」605Please respect copyright.PENANAO0QtKL7d1u
605Please respect copyright.PENANABOhczJdGon
貓的心情和謝綠一樣,覺得這個人好熟悉,莫名地信任對方、喜歡對方。這種奇妙的感覺,就是白絃和李晴煬說的「共鳴」。605Please respect copyright.PENANAPO5nj75KHL
605Please respect copyright.PENANAq2br8aJwBa
貓……不,云格閉上眼睛,發出舒服的「呼嚕」聲,也把手放到謝綠的後背,用寬大的肩膀將女孩包覆住。605Please respect copyright.PENANAUYXzYNvJgM
605Please respect copyright.PENANANXiyEcKA99
605Please respect copyright.PENANAsF1gtBiWpX
「親愛的主人,」605Please respect copyright.PENANAutehkAHBmj
605Please respect copyright.PENANAFR1Jq7GeXC

605Please respect copyright.PENANACIq9CiNdHP
605Please respect copyright.PENANA1ovSZOAY3s
云格的手摸上謝綠的後腦勺,笑容彷彿沐浴在陽光下的貓。善與惡,狻猊與饕餮,謝綠感覺──她內心的每個角落,都被云格的溫暖照亮了。605Please respect copyright.PENANAkBUJm1d6Y6
