神與畜 - 夢魘症14

冰涼的雨滴打在臉上。尼可拉斯回神，發現自己來到一座陌生的都市。他人站在十字路口中央，四周被樣式老舊的建築包圍，上方還有鐵路高架，一看就知道不是二十二世紀。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60XW1aYyTy

嘩啦嘩啦──嘩啦嘩啦──504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9GyfiDM2n
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y1gmFXi1X
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKWUPgQTfI
雨下得很大，尼可拉斯抓好的頭髮都被打回原形，看起來比較年輕，更符合現在的年紀。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3vHPU33Hn
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MEeE0VyVR
「有人嗎？」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoiozDvTXw
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdqLJPGhD1
明明是大馬路，卻沒有車，也沒有人，四周寂靜得只有雨聲。尼可拉斯走了段路，發現一條條紫色的封鎖線，上面白色的字寫著主人的名字──Caterpillar。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPd9R85w0a
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgJgjT8AKS
「……？」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bbk6yDutR
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcozcIWiCd
尼可拉斯意識到，這是一百年前的某段記憶，而且記憶的參與人之一是凱薩。他在雨中奔跑，凱薩應該就在附近。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgy5BbCndc
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKGNleOpGE
「爸！」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaGbF5yoQD
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4TQlAk03o
不知道是雨聲太大，還是尼可拉斯發不出聲音。不論怎麼喊，都只有嘩啦嘩啦的雨聲回應自己。尼可拉斯越來越急，好不容易看到紫色的身影，他上前大喊：504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBbl45vamS
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6jPCtHQqA
「爸！爸……！」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxzOzDn7wd
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKmAbBNtR1
第二聲「爸」被吞回喉嚨，尼可拉斯停下腳步。他確實找到凱薩，但凱薩似乎看不到他。他的父親跪在濕漉漉的柏油路，懷裡抱著一個人──一具屍體。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE6LJX7L9P

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUcQGBjaqY
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExhjDspetg
橘色的頭髮，橘色的西裝，如少年般的秀氣五官，還有一對又長又漂亮的睫毛。雖然沒見過，但尼可拉斯一眼就知道是叔叔。叔叔已經死去，尼可拉斯看著他胸口的大洞……就算不是醫生，也知道那個洞代表什麼。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZs35RBCDy

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYbdhhnJTf
雨不停下著。尼可拉斯聽不到凱薩的聲音、看不到表情，但他知道爸爸在哭，因為他的肩膀在顫抖，抱著叔叔的手也越握越緊。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHk8NG06Lv

尼可拉斯的眼淚和雨一起滑下來。他從沒看過爸爸哭，也不知道爸爸會哭。如果叔叔的水果塔真被喚醒，那麼，自己體內的叔叔會怎麼看凱薩？他會恨殺死自己的哥哥嗎？504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXnavEP0Tq
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQk1pUOLJ1
尼可拉斯不知道叔叔的想法，但他肯定，爸爸非常後悔，否則不會醉心於書海與學問之中；媽媽一定也知道爸爸的心情，才對爸爸這般寬容……只有自己什麼都不知道。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHm3lBk5ev

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulG6tUCP5V
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI8rjsj2iH
陌生的聲音出現在後方，尼可拉斯轉頭，身後站著一名穿著黑色外套、造型很像搖滾歌手的男人。他金色的長髮紮成低馬尾，馬尾從右肩垂落到胸前，表情陰沉，好像隨時都準備哭。尼可拉斯沒看過他，卻覺得很熟悉。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMhXGRWIA4
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU9SM4uC2d
「屍體給我。」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNFSrAdnVV
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUMV27wh1S
金髮男人說，但凱薩沒有動作，仍緊緊抱著弟弟的屍體。金髮男人打算自己來，細細的手臂卻被凱薩抓住，力道幾乎要把他折斷。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUVUXLPgka
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRwC47tJw5
「……不准碰他。」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU24rmbaWfx
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtabyM6gFSn
凱薩低沉的聲音夾帶嘶吼。他強迫自己不要哭，用想殺死對方的眼神瞪著金髮男人，「叫夏悠自己過來。」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR4CFbfEV6
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWe64NePRd
「……。」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOLQEDItCU
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuIjkOrWb4
金髮男人的臉浮現陰影。雨聲嘎然停止，周遭一切被吞入白色空間，黑色的汙泥在男人腳下聚集，一根黑色尖刺防不勝防從右方刺出、襲向凱薩；凱薩整個人被打飛，手放開了男人，也放開了親愛的弟弟。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPKOJ5EIvx
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2qkMWPDMk
「爸……！」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ55fp2XQt
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupGLLJo3e5
目睹一切的尼可拉斯剎那明白，這個人就是紅心傑克──李仲翔，怪不得他覺得很熟悉。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7cQsXs9BS
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkxIsN7vSQ
李仲翔瞠大眼睛、瞳孔縮小，冰冷的聲音迴盪在白色空間。另一邊的凱薩吐出一口血，打算站起來，兩根黑色的刺又憑空出現在兩側、貫穿他的左右手掌，痛得他慘叫，整個人被釘在地板上。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsT6nuNWW2

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ2XHpkAXd
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOmtKgJU3b
語畢，李仲翔關閉白色空間，卻沒有將叔叔的屍體返回現實。凱薩人躺在濕漉漉的柏油路，黑刺仍貫穿他的手掌，鮮血隨雨水流到馬路兩側。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5ni3xSNTy
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswbT80Rq5N
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzbzuYozI8

「尤里……！」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNkcUnRI7i
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfccpnDfvEc
李仲翔的耳朵似是很好。大雨一直下，他仍聽見凱薩微弱的叫喊。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWoFHOdf6F
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCvGWaZU1e
「把尤里，還給我……！」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbFGddy1fR
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99sj9XxGZU
雨水沾濕李仲翔的頭髮，金色的瀏海遮住眼睛。尼可拉斯看不見他的眼神，卻清楚看見李仲翔勾起的唇角，笑起來跟李晴煬一模一樣。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP3Mc2AaOe
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK2VCKSII4
「辛苦了，書蟲。」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Tpe83DZrM
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPwjuKN76n
李仲翔話甫落，周遭場景剎那變換，雨聲、高架鐵路、十字路口全部消失，凱薩和李仲翔也不見。尼可拉斯被傳送到另一個地方，火車的「隆隆」聲傳入耳中，尼可拉斯竟然認得這裡。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUz7Cs6vKr

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFa0SqlmRL
清亮的聲音從身後傳來。尼可拉斯轉身，一個穿著橘色西裝的人正坐在奧斯卡的書桌，用一雙橘色的眼睛看著他。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr7BMetu5w
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazbJj431y5
「你……！」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSWEXJF4ax

剛剛才看過，只是尼可拉斯不明白，他為何活了過來。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjMR28UxPk

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEIsCRfpml
叔叔起身，身高比尼可拉斯矮得多。他有一張稚嫩的臉，說話時，隱約能看見尖銳的牙。要不是穿西裝，看起來只有十六歲。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnsn8OaV28

尼可拉斯停頓，「我爸真正的姓氏是史密斯？」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaSC3PAXvp
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYydGRHp66
尤里烏斯點頭，「他現在的外表和姓氏，都是公爵夫人給他的，和我劃清界線。」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLWcd8LhFg
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oTRqlXi3H
尤里烏斯打量尼可拉斯。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pHxMfYPYF

「當然。」尤里烏斯微笑，幫尼可拉斯拉平皺褶的領子，「我一直在看你，一直在你的身體裡。」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OwYu4FZSj
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoYxrF7Xyh
尼可拉斯這才明白，眼前的叔叔是他體內的水果塔。因為艾莉絲使用共鳴，他才能這樣進到夢境、與叔叔面對面交談。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS183tEM1fk
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyEV9D87xg
看著在幫自己翻領子的尤里烏斯，尼可拉斯覺得叔叔人挺好，看起來就像受過良好教育的貴族子弟。他想到剛才的記憶片段，問尤里烏斯：「剛才的畫面……！」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLiRXyOkcP
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7c9d95dAr
才剛留下不錯的印象，卻在講話的瞬間，尤里烏斯一手抓住尼可拉斯的脖子，指甲幾乎要掐進去。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB5zJjFr7o

尤里烏斯眼神驟變。小小的鵝蛋臉異常慘白，他發出一聲很長的嘆息，好像一隻蛇在低吟。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX2xfWeUxW
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig5O5ZuuOu
「李仲翔就是這麼噁心，哥哥也是個窩囊廢。」尤里烏斯嘴角向下，「而你，也是個缺乏警戒心的廢物。」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe6IqcBj96

「……！」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebbSMC80xT
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg60Q1NuZb7
尼可拉斯不知道，這位有著少年外表的叔叔，其實是在蜘蛛之前、艾莉絲體系的最大敵人。他敢一人單挑白絃、與白兔鬥智，想殺死艾莉絲的心情堪比紅鶴。要不是哥哥凱薩背叛，他根本不會輸，艾莉絲體系早就毀於他手。他是最瘋狂、最不講理的三月兔。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb4SDrBaFa

「我和哥哥，是那批吃到水果塔感冒藥的小孩，也不幸地被水果塔選中。水果塔殺死了我們的父母，我和哥哥離開家鄉，向紅心皇后、及她用水果塔製造的艾莉絲復仇。」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uDgkZ9ir0

「結果，我那愚蠢的哥哥背叛我、殺了我，還跟白兔的女兒結婚……親愛的尼可拉斯、我寶貝的姪子，你要我怎麼嚥下這口氣？」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqphAgo8lbs
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN9cGWeckO
尼可拉斯感到呼吸困難，脖子幾乎要被尤里烏斯掐斷。他必須回去救派翠克，自己不能死在這──他從腰間抽出液體炸彈，直朝尤里烏斯的臉扔去！504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP6GhPP4KQ
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWNcj5KiPz
「嘖。」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2fZUwvsAO
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiI1nObidG
尤里烏斯躲開，液體炸彈「碰！」一聲、炸毀身後的書桌。尼可拉斯趁亂掙脫，但尤里烏斯像鬼一樣飛到旁邊、手刀砍來，某人突然衝到尼可拉斯面前，擋下尤里烏斯。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeTNsHokEi

「……艾莉絲？」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6R1tf5UkD
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uoluRqWMe
尼可拉斯瞪大眼睛，艾莉絲竟然闖入他的夢境。尤里烏斯沒有像紅鶴一樣、看到艾莉絲就抓狂，反而變得更冷靜，冷靜地令人畏懼。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xlj0ffPBL
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkPdbSweyW
「敢來見我？體內只有棉花的人，連羞恥心也沒有。」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzizX3Uk5ED
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTOM6tjKXm
艾莉絲沒有回話，漆黑的眼珠凝視著尤里烏斯。雖然憎恨，尤里烏斯卻覺得那眼神不對勁。艾莉絲除了剪短髮，也有什麼地方改變了。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxSREw5PvX

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOSEFHadiK
「妳不是她。」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyEAAtAHP2
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TBb5DV0xu
尤里烏斯不可能誤會。她是他的仇人，他用一輩子的時間追殺她，沒有人比他更了解「夏悠」。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KlWJtZnJo
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YzxiMLqC3
「除了艾莉絲，我還能是誰？」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLDTGzBz5O
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXiG4lVNMS
艾莉絲回答。黑色的瞳孔沒有生命，猶如一尊會動的娃娃，與尤里烏斯知道的「夏悠」天差地遠。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjcJ0UneSb
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoeEZ9KFrL
「尤里烏斯，你不能殺這孩子，這違反規則。」艾莉絲說：「而且，他是當今唯一擁有三月兔的人。」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQp4bpHQC0

「我不在乎，以『水果塔』存在於世，對我而言是恥辱。」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHkquPVt4r
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v0RIbCga3
尤里烏斯收起攻擊姿勢，雙手環在胸前。比起殺尼可拉斯，他認為有更重要的事必須釐清。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI1OoAXYoF

「為什麼不回答？」尤里烏斯逼問。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4OYkhr4nc
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDPRNPRVp2
「現在的領導人是瘋帽。」艾莉絲閉眼，「尤里烏斯，你不是理性的人，不理性的人會做出多瘋狂的決定，不用我解釋。」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNRNwYuCW5
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDCYlIObEx
尤里烏斯陷入沉默。十秒後，他什麼都知道了，直接問：「妳要我做什麼？」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVhl7IAi9s
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkpqhHxMG8
「把力量給他。」艾莉絲指著尼可拉斯，「希望你有這樣的自覺，尤里烏斯。你早在一百年前死去，現在的你不透過尼可拉斯，意志與力量無法延伸到現實。」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGQsRTL9uR
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLSHsXtKxv
聽到這番話，尼可拉斯替艾莉絲捏把冷汗，幸好叔叔沒有發飆。尤里烏斯不像凱薩，他只做對自己有利的事。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4tNWHyMAD

「哼。」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLNgDGy4Pe
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXYNxsJzrl
這世界瘋了，對自己非常不利的陰謀正在醞釀，尤里烏斯不能坐視不管。他是三月兔，他是尤里烏斯．史密斯、與艾莉絲體系纏鬥最久的男人。哪怕死，也要死得陰魂不散。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHPcxd68wA
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qXQB2wYFo
「讓開。」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcEZeYa1mn
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeY2b4ZYqx
艾莉絲退到一邊。尤里烏斯來到姪子面前，右手繞過脖子、按住後腦勺，將尼可拉斯的頭壓下來，告訴他：504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8iqOIiF12

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHVeEWR4TM
脖子傳來痛處，尤里烏斯竟然咬了他，也把尼可拉斯內心的束縛全部咬斷。一隻蛇從解封的洞穴爬出，尼可拉斯嘴裡出現兩顆尖牙，眼睛也變成和尤里烏斯一樣的橘色。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvX3YbzjyQ

下一秒，尤里烏斯放開他，尼可拉斯的意識陷入空白。等他驚醒，人已經回到現實、躺在艾莉絲的膝上，彷彿被噩夢嚇醒的孩子。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnQ9KbNWFE
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk41LVIs5aj
「歡迎回來。」艾莉絲看著他橘色的眼睛及尖牙，「尼可拉斯，還有，三月兔。」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi0MvZ2Eyp

尼可拉斯起身，原本紛紛擾擾的思緒都安靜下來。他環顧四週，牆壁斑駁，地板碎裂，舞台布幕被扯成好幾片，整個空間因為羅笙、凱薩、派翠克三人的打鬥，變得一片狼藉。那些球體似乎都被派翠克解決，他人正和凱薩一起對抗羅笙，但二對一仍顯膠著，派翠克和凱薩都受了重傷。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBXSm4SH3f
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oE0FdNaZj
「小孔雀！」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0SMf6MxJn
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZKEtdPAPn
在與羅笙交手的第八十四回合，派翠克的槍支全滅，腹部被羅笙重擊、整個人從空中摔回地面。凱薩正要救人，綠色的程式碼突然閃現四周、向他聚攏，凱薩的身體猶如遭到千刀萬剮，鮮血從遍體麟傷的身體流出。他差點跪地，但忍住疼痛，用沒受傷的左腳撐住身體。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOztAt2aNQ

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwqoHoSkUZ
修長的腳踩在編織的蜘蛛網上，羅笙幾乎毫髮無傷。蜘蛛糖覺醒的他，三不五時弄出一堆程式碼和數據。這些數據隨羅笙的指示建構、爆破、攻擊，甚至變成蜘蛛腳。明明是學芭蕾的人，現在搞的像工程師，這讓凱薩很不爽，但打不過人家是事實。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIla3VsKKUY
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgtrSKBTft
「算了。」羅笙閉上眼睛，「送你去跟尤里烏斯作伴，也是功德一件。」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlR1QWzgEZ
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMEq8pdXzI
語畢，羅笙拔刀，凱薩已經無力反抗。他不怕死，早在尤里烏斯斷氣的那天，他就不珍惜這條爛命。如果死亡是尤里烏斯給他的懲罰，他甘願接受，只是──504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq1tWvAlSb

他放不下妻兒，始終沒好好陪伴，自己是失職的丈夫和父親。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBQxNbKic7

504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvQ4TZs63L
本來想死前看看兒子，結果尼可拉斯不見，凱薩也在這時發現，一條金屬製的鐵軌出現在羅笙腳下，那是他絕對不會認錯的鐵軌。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnfZx4enhq

「……！」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43IcwBvrAO
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TRgHLTenl
下一秒，一列橘色的火車從羅笙左方、沿著鐵道飆飛而出。羅笙來不及反應，人當場被撞飛出去。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76pbgnMjh2
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGBxwTL2X9
「磅！！！」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72fDIckso9
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq7hfNp2nH
被撞到白絃的雕像上。浮空的鐵軌沒打算饒過羅笙、一路延到他所在的位置，火車也在下一秒沿著鐵軌衝過去──羅笙被二次撞擊，白絃的雕像應聲碎裂，石塊與羅笙一同砸落舞台，巨大的聲響伴隨震動、空間頂端出現裂痕。羅笙雖然沒死，但連續兩次重創，給他帶來不小打擊。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecnc8gzeue
504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlh8kOSB15
凱薩屏住呼吸。他的兒子──尼可拉斯．克里斯托多羅普洛斯，人站立在瓦礫石塊的頂端，雙手抱著昏迷的派翠克．雷蒙。塵埃刮起的風拂過他銀白色的頭髮、橘色的眼睛及尖牙。相信科學的凱薩一度產生錯覺。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6bWSgaSsx

「尤里……？」504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL5eSMyt51

鐵軌與火車──三月兔的水果塔。凱薩彷彿看見那個不管天氣多熱，都堅持要穿西裝的人站在那邊。504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cz8WTBipU

尤里烏斯．史密斯，曾經用生命對抗艾莉絲體系的人──他死去的弟弟，回來了。
