2154年12月13日,下午三點,十一塔,花園(室內)974Please respect copyright.PENANAeisMyIPKTt
974Please respect copyright.PENANAXh6csMGX84
974Please respect copyright.PENANAsADLnorFPY
李央離開後,李晴煬一個人在溫室花園走了一陣子。因為很大,如果不說,根本沒人會發現這是溫室,每條路都有三公尺寬,每棵樹距離天花板、都有一大段距離。974Please respect copyright.PENANA25rg8tEH0C
974Please respect copyright.PENANAP40e7yotmL
不知不覺,李晴煬來到紅玫瑰園。他停下腳步,發現紅玫瑰園的中央,有一個人坐在那。974Please respect copyright.PENANASD7vuvpp7G
974Please respect copyright.PENANAFmJiu1g43o
「……!」974Please respect copyright.PENANAGHyPJ3ijH0
974Please respect copyright.PENANAW0cBDAJXtL
他看見自己──沒錯,李晴煬看見另一個自己,光著身子、一絲不掛地坐在紅玫瑰中,衝著自己笑。974Please respect copyright.PENANA15uKvdRU8x
974Please respect copyright.PENANAUPgbOyGAl0
「你……?」974Please respect copyright.PENANAsaAT22Pmf5
974Please respect copyright.PENANAAEZ3tJNBcg
李晴煬走上前。紅玫瑰的李晴煬不只一絲不掛,脖子、胸口、手臂、腰……他的身上都是吻痕。李晴煬嚇得怔在原地,另一個自己一直看他,用那雙血紅色的眼睛、煽情地看著自己。974Please respect copyright.PENANA35b1KWugnP
974Please respect copyright.PENANACoCXJrViYd
同時,李晴煬也聽見另一個自己的「聲音」,但他不知道怎麼形容,好像人在拍手,每一下都伴隨水聲,忽快忽慢……他覺得很不舒服,同時,另一個自己伸手,李晴煬周遭的紅玫瑰被染成白色,變成一朵朵的白玫瑰。974Please respect copyright.PENANA5IDyci46Le
974Please respect copyright.PENANACuI8G0mxlj
「少爺!」974Please respect copyright.PENANA1IFYBk7NpT
974Please respect copyright.PENANAHLdD23ZK0j
「……!」974Please respect copyright.PENANAdykqh0Ln1d
974Please respect copyright.PENANAeW7NykzlRk
李晴煬回神。「聲音」不見了、另一個自己不見了,周遭的玫瑰變回紅色。李晴煬愣在原地,顧爾跑了過來。974Please respect copyright.PENANAtGBLhpyxJS
974Please respect copyright.PENANAzY7FCevU7L
「少爺,剛才接到通知,老爺要您過去一趟……少爺?」974Please respect copyright.PENANAYF3OMDpEUl
974Please respect copyright.PENANAVHDWODSOYQ
發現李晴煬的臉色很怪,顧爾再叫一次:「少爺?」974Please respect copyright.PENANAeIOKogGv0C
974Please respect copyright.PENANAfcbWfBzVtW
「啊……?」李晴煬回神,「怎麼了?」974Please respect copyright.PENANARff5pvsVoj
974Please respect copyright.PENANAJNqCR8gwkZ
「少爺,您剛剛……」顧爾很慌張,「發生什麼事了?」974Please respect copyright.PENANAcRuJ9HzQzA
974Please respect copyright.PENANAEGrdCU49vC
「不,沒什麼。」974Please respect copyright.PENANAcWwygG2X7R
974Please respect copyright.PENANAf9EIZU6FeR
李晴煬恍恍惚惚,在顧爾的攙扶下走出玫瑰園。974Please respect copyright.PENANATXbys9nZvY
974Please respect copyright.PENANAO7Mojrni5y
是幻影嗎?李晴煬疑惑。他非常確信那是自己,只是不明白,為什麼會看見另一個自己?為什麼他光著身子?為什麼全身吻痕?為什麼……他的眼神好詭異,令人毛骨悚然。974Please respect copyright.PENANAymIknx870o
974Please respect copyright.PENANA79EMEexDBR
「顧爾,」李晴煬突然問:「你說你討厭下雨,是嗎?」974Please respect copyright.PENANAVEhCktVxtY
974Please respect copyright.PENANAEZSW4QHamB
「是。」顧爾覺得奇怪,同樣的事,李晴煬為什麼要提第二次?974Please respect copyright.PENANAENw0dNOH4T
974Please respect copyright.PENANA950fp34cH8
「那,」李晴煬問他:「你知道我討厭什麼嗎?」974Please respect copyright.PENANASqO4INdQ0o
974Please respect copyright.PENANANDzGdMnn14
不只顧爾,李晴煬也覺得這問題莫名其妙。顧爾老實回答:「恕我直言,您討厭的東西太多了,要屬下一一列出,會很花時間。」974Please respect copyright.PENANAGSqni2W8Yl
974Please respect copyright.PENANAeuKF18lfAW
「……這樣啊。」李晴煬換個問法:「喜歡的東西呢?」974Please respect copyright.PENANAirYiMKBre8
974Please respect copyright.PENANAE6t56WmIoX
「就在這裡。」顧爾看向一旁的玫瑰園,「少爺,您很喜歡玫瑰,尤其是紅玫瑰。」974Please respect copyright.PENANA7N84OsLQgW
974Please respect copyright.PENANAKTcJvLI5xg
李晴煬很訝異,「為什麼?」974Please respect copyright.PENANAfuaTD8Tvbw
974Please respect copyright.PENANAwm0TCy6qYW
顧爾回想,「您曾經說,紅玫瑰跟自己很像。」974Please respect copyright.PENANAfOA22mJCZ2
974Please respect copyright.PENANAsKDWvKhdpJ
「很像?」974Please respect copyright.PENANAz2vdAdGiGZ
974Please respect copyright.PENANAl2OsIaJWEo
「抱歉,屬下只記得這些。」顧爾向李晴煬道歉,並說:「三爺或許知道,畢竟您和三爺無話不談,他也最了解您的喜好。」974Please respect copyright.PENANANhMsFKjV2i
974Please respect copyright.PENANA5juq1xmIr1
顧爾不是瞎子,李晴煬在玫瑰園恍神的模樣,他當然有看見。雖然失去記憶,李晴煬卻主動靠近紅玫瑰,可見在他的潛意識,玫瑰很重要。974Please respect copyright.PENANAC0DqXQADs1
974Please respect copyright.PENANAgKjFAXZUxA
「少爺,屬下收到通知,李昂老爺要您過去一趟。」974Please respect copyright.PENANAPhKz8jRdQf
974Please respect copyright.PENANAkOK5f6J1T4
顧爾重複一遍,看李晴煬一臉驚訝,就知道顧爾第一次說時,李晴煬真沒聽見。974Please respect copyright.PENANATuW3GYP7jn
974Please respect copyright.PENANA13c5Id7fsW
「大伯?」李晴煬很訝異。974Please respect copyright.PENANAWDZlKSWQCC
974Please respect copyright.PENANAhd9zalQaIj
「是的,老爺今天回來。」顧爾說:「我們走吧,少爺。」974Please respect copyright.PENANAjpkQq5SXVt
974Please respect copyright.PENANAaiwQXAO7mM
「……嗯。」974Please respect copyright.PENANAi93Xj50AfW
974Please respect copyright.PENANAOik3bUjjAn
和顧爾離開溫室,李晴煬回頭、看向紅色的玫瑰園,那裡什麼也沒有。失憶前的自己到底經歷什麼、是什麼人,他越來越好奇,也越來越……不安,彷彿自己的記憶深處,藏著令他害怕的東西。974Please respect copyright.PENANAxQz1zI0LB9

2154年12月13日,下午四點,十一塔,三層974Please respect copyright.PENANABz02KmfcJK
974Please respect copyright.PENANAD47KqxqdMU
974Please respect copyright.PENANA71KH8YuczS
因為重視時間,在李門,地位越高的人,反而住在越下面、方便的樓層。一樓和二樓是重要的公共區,李昂的房間在三樓,四樓則是李央的房間。974Please respect copyright.PENANA9u794PlPM0
974Please respect copyright.PENANA6dK6DU4m22
和李昂的秘書知會一聲,李晴煬和顧爾被帶到李昂的書房。李昂的書房是李晴煬的三倍,深棕色的色系,書櫃鑲在牆上、每一面牆都是書,中間有三張長桌,坐著十八個穿白襯衫的人,每個人都在翻書、用最快的速度摘要出內容。974Please respect copyright.PENANA2W5S7n4V8O
974Please respect copyright.PENANA9HpQbDh4sS
李晴煬發現,這裡的人都不是人類,他們的眼睛下都有刺青,刺青上寫著名字,包括帶領他的秘書,左眼下寫著「Ming」,是一台事務型機器人。974Please respect copyright.PENANAC60UKeimXU
974Please respect copyright.PENANAYhm2ieZm5U
二十二世紀的機器人分為兩種:戰鬥型機器人、事務型機器人。事務型機器人價格不高,雖然有和人類相似的外表,卻沒有感情,只會專注在工作上。聯合政府規定,每台機器人的眼睛下,都必須寫上名字;男生刺在左眼、女生刺在右眼。974Please respect copyright.PENANAopsOw8hMgI
974Please respect copyright.PENANAQD0XocxDid
十大家族裡,只有謝氏和李門的下僕是人類,這也是李晴煬驚訝的原因──他的大伯李昂,是家中唯一在使用機器人的人。974Please respect copyright.PENANApLl15Rqjvj
974Please respect copyright.PENANAoItUZ6QhZ0
李昂的書房有座樓梯,身穿深棕色西裝的李昂坐在樓上。李晴煬對他的第一印象,是粗粗的眉毛和唇上鬍,五十歲的中年男子,神似以前的英國首相張伯倫。974Please respect copyright.PENANAEUordOPz6R
974Please respect copyright.PENANAH8qQutiMGT
974Please respect copyright.PENANATvWF0cE1cI
「嗶……嗶……嗶……嗶……」974Please respect copyright.PENANAFf3HxZQjFu
974Please respect copyright.PENANA5e3JoVPpir
974Please respect copyright.PENANAWXjVVP3OBa
和見到其他人一樣,李晴煬聽見李昂的「聲音」──很好認,是電子裝置,應該是心電圖。974Please respect copyright.PENANAkDgStv06Hv
974Please respect copyright.PENANAcCVH5YH6xo
「老爺,晴煬少爺來了。」974Please respect copyright.PENANAuN7AFm03Vz
974Please respect copyright.PENANA7SQK2oC6rH
名叫Ming的機器人通報一聲。李昂抬頭,眼睛終於移開手裡的資料,視線聚焦在李晴煬身上。974Please respect copyright.PENANAtoauPLikw0
974Please respect copyright.PENANAdzOfKx0kA9
「……。」974Please respect copyright.PENANAnLPWzWxHw7
974Please respect copyright.PENANAxU2tfj7siS
他看著李晴煬,李晴煬也看著他,兩人都沒說話。三十秒後,李昂抬手,示意Ming和顧爾離開,留下他和李晴煬兩人。974Please respect copyright.PENANACtEhZoUgfJ
974Please respect copyright.PENANATMxaNc3pcv
「對現在的你來說,我是個陌生人吧。」974Please respect copyright.PENANAE4w9uFPZy3
974Please respect copyright.PENANAIcsqWi0XZ6
李昂率先打破沉默。李晴煬回應一聲:「嗯。」974Please respect copyright.PENANAPFyOFeXaAQ
974Please respect copyright.PENANAmnLVF4Ok2P
「唉。」李昂嘆氣,指了指書桌前的椅子,「坐吧,你的身份不適合一直站著。」974Please respect copyright.PENANAPFhHZlhmRt
974Please respect copyright.PENANAFFwFcK6DWv
李晴煬沒有說謝謝,直接坐到椅子上。兩人之間只隔一張書桌,非常微妙的距離。他們又沉默一陣子,李昂好像在想話題。974Please respect copyright.PENANASeOTftaSEL
974Please respect copyright.PENANAvEpMI6AgGE
「什麼也聽不見了?」974Please respect copyright.PENANAGdXD0VB43b
974Please respect copyright.PENANAfUiQmEiEq3
李昂只能想到這種話題。李晴煬知道李昂在指什麼,沒有否認,「嗯。」974Please respect copyright.PENANAMuoJ0lrCzO
974Please respect copyright.PENANARnD1KvGE4c
「見過你小叔了?」974Please respect copyright.PENANAhXIf2o91kh
974Please respect copyright.PENANAujlDdrSJOJ
「嗯。」974Please respect copyright.PENANAhfKidfxkL5
974Please respect copyright.PENANAMXRwQv8KBJ
「有想起什麼嗎?」974Please respect copyright.PENANAWTEWHyPzxT
974Please respect copyright.PENANAWfA4ALUlAD
「……沒有。」974Please respect copyright.PENANACulJBHYVbW
974Please respect copyright.PENANAK7iBDsocuz
氣氛好乾,也許失憶前,他和大伯的相處模式就是這樣,話題總是接不下去,或者──974Please respect copyright.PENANA8Bzp1eFnoA
974Please respect copyright.PENANAV8HjH9XvI7
「大伯。」李晴煬問:「我以前,是不是常和你起爭執?」974Please respect copyright.PENANArVmkmDb8gE
974Please respect copyright.PENANAsvGd3svJnt
會這麼問,不是李晴煬想起什麼,而是他感覺到了敵意──李昂對他的敵意,或者,「李晴煬」對李昂的敵意。974Please respect copyright.PENANA0NzTtSBzQg
974Please respect copyright.PENANAjzDvM3K2MO
「是啊。」李昂沒有否認,「因為你小叔。」974Please respect copyright.PENANAkb2PB5rQdo
974Please respect copyright.PENANAXoFQJFOqsi
「小叔?」李晴煬疑惑,他為什麼要為了李央、和大伯吵架?974Please respect copyright.PENANAsn7nbNf9AM
974Please respect copyright.PENANAhC1i7tvDg2
「你早上見過他了,如何?」974Please respect copyright.PENANAsaCV507Fr4
974Please respect copyright.PENANAsg72TsxQyh
突然,李昂的語氣變得很不友善:「他又給你灌輸了反高派思想,是嗎?」974Please respect copyright.PENANA8t3k8aF5mN
974Please respect copyright.PENANAOz29WfKAfH
「……!」974Please respect copyright.PENANAEwXiAkIHBs
974Please respect copyright.PENANA6UHNJMcdWz
被這麼一問,李晴煬想起來──眼前的李昂和李央,因為選舉,兩人目前是敵對關係,尤其是高宇維,兩人的立場南轅北轍。974Please respect copyright.PENANAtJGEDoWhS5
974Please respect copyright.PENANAvTHOLTTxr2
「大伯,為什麼?」974Please respect copyright.PENANAjHiuKcJFwI
974Please respect copyright.PENANAfMDdNRriTa
李晴煬想起今早與李央的對話,「『高宇維的走狗』,我們家為什麼是這樣?」974Please respect copyright.PENANAxEGZEIqAYU
974Please respect copyright.PENANAgrkbB9wZP9
腦袋不正常的哥哥、令人毛骨悚然的MIO,李晴煬對神與畜的印象不好,連帶地,他也覺得高宇維不正常。二十二世紀的帝王,真的值得效忠嗎?974Please respect copyright.PENANAPV2cHMeSJg
974Please respect copyright.PENANAoHm1JeA89h
「李門就是為此存在的,晴煬!」974Please respect copyright.PENANAUHhdagyEMk
974Please respect copyright.PENANAoNIlyim12e
然而,李昂這麼回答,口氣異常激動,嚇了李晴煬一跳。974Please respect copyright.PENANAQFzRg9i2Ac
974Please respect copyright.PENANAQg29Z8W9o3
「因為我們姓李、沒有選擇的餘地,就是這麼簡單。」李昂的聲音不容質疑。他警告李晴煬:「不要和反高派勾結,尤其是你小叔,離他遠一點!」974Please respect copyright.PENANAevvRHsiwM6
974Please respect copyright.PENANAhaUUeoP3x9
「……。」974Please respect copyright.PENANA6KoI8NqTwZ
974Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZEd74ITZE
李央想改變世界,李昂主張維持現狀──李晴煬不知道誰對誰錯,然而,被李昂這麼一說,李晴煬的體內,似乎有什麼東西醒了過來。974Please respect copyright.PENANAJ61VyjSHFV
974Please respect copyright.PENANAgaHdvm6nqB
974Please respect copyright.PENANAsD13xVBaas
「誰准你用那種口氣,和本少爺說話?」974Please respect copyright.PENANAznwObGYCqF
974Please respect copyright.PENANAA7kkDVGt1L
974Please respect copyright.PENANALCzFOculnL
李晴煬說。他不知道自己怎麼了,但李昂的態度令他生氣──沒錯,生氣,他不喜歡李昂的說話方式。974Please respect copyright.PENANApJpkFXSbs9
974Please respect copyright.PENANAiEMLcsSzNG
「本少爺想什麼、做什麼,是我自己的事,不需要你教我。」李晴煬冷笑,「聽說,你在我哥面前乖得像條狗;大伯,同樣是姪子,你可真偏心啊。」974Please respect copyright.PENANA7Xd02m4BLy
974Please respect copyright.PENANAVD0DLWftND
「……。」974Please respect copyright.PENANAnyJLxlAMXt
974Please respect copyright.PENANAhZCEVtV5Ni
李昂竟然沒生氣,似乎很習慣李晴煬的態度──看來,這才是他們以前的相處方式。974Please respect copyright.PENANA5hbe6O276E
974Please respect copyright.PENANAEU21P5ozTF
「我要走了。」974Please respect copyright.PENANAv9kAbtwlSn
974Please respect copyright.PENANAUXKUH6I1qW
說完,李晴煬站起身子,走向樓梯。974Please respect copyright.PENANA4PBSirMi7k
974Please respect copyright.PENANAm1soXOQyVl
「失憶也好。」974Please respect copyright.PENANA1xCktQb9Tz
974Please respect copyright.PENANAWTMsYiOpyq
離開前,李晴煬補了句:「你的事,本少爺不屑回想,我的記憶不需要你。」974Please respect copyright.PENANARQGzzBjD8i
974Please respect copyright.PENANATTTcuQv42d
一句再見也不說,李晴煬就這麼離開李昂的書房,結束不愉快的談話。974Please respect copyright.PENANAHyQxcM4Fyj
974Please respect copyright.PENANAEhqsDaP2EJ
「……是啊。」974Please respect copyright.PENANAKb1ZtA0AmU
974Please respect copyright.PENANARrrFCka694
李昂低頭,將注意力放回手中的資料,揉了揉眼睛。974Please respect copyright.PENANAx1kk9cl9bF
974Please respect copyright.PENANAxTzXXdNsLG
「你失憶也好。」
