2161年2月21日,下午四點,仙境大樓,八層325Please respect copyright.PENANAyvxut3g5dE
325Please respect copyright.PENANAtromhtCn97
325Please respect copyright.PENANAmSuvGJ3ljz
打鐵趁熱,事不宜遲。尼可拉斯傳來夏家的座標後,李晴煬、賴梓綾、江云格、謝綠四人決定立刻出發,但賴梓綾沒有去過外面的世界,出發前,謝綠帶賴梓綾回自己房間,物色適合的衣服。325Please respect copyright.PENANA3ScoGIgM0v
325Please respect copyright.PENANAzHtg6t7kix
這些日子,賴梓綾的情緒穩定許多,不知道李晴煬用了什麼方法,或體內的睡鼠讓她不自覺、對同樣是水果塔後裔的人感到安心。她能和謝綠獨處一室,李晴煬不需要在旁邊。325Please respect copyright.PENANAkBv8KbatsH
325Please respect copyright.PENANAwIExy2Z6hx
「唔,傷腦筋。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAID9XjTf2JB
325Please respect copyright.PENANAGh4qugfpj4
站在衣櫃前,謝綠左翻右翻。賴梓綾個子比她高,謝綠找了很久,才翻到一件黑色的帽T,和一條明顯不是她尺寸的黑色褲子。325Please respect copyright.PENANA6AbGAIwnVn
325Please respect copyright.PENANAUH75NOam4J
「梓綾,妳穿穿看這個。」325Please respect copyright.PENANA31joLwCvRX
325Please respect copyright.PENANAxyZt0xr6nw
賴梓綾體重過瘦,腰圍有些不符,但褲管長度剛好。這是謝綠之前買錯、忘記退貨的褲子,沒想到幫了大忙。325Please respect copyright.PENANAK4QxbSf7e3
325Please respect copyright.PENANAfi9Bo01kDc
在謝綠的幫助下,賴梓綾乖乖換上黑色帽T。為了避免引人注目,謝綠故意將她的帽子戴起來,把賴梓綾的白色長髮藏在裡面。325Please respect copyright.PENANAH2AaU1O8t7
325Please respect copyright.PENANAqRb4eYd7fI
「OK,大功告成。」謝綠幫她黏掉衣服上的貓毛,順便問:「梓綾,有哪裡不舒服嗎?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAr9pP4pUsz0
325Please respect copyright.PENANATETPhsytmk
「……。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAhC9zixEwWi
325Please respect copyright.PENANAihuvTkbH4G
賴梓綾不會講話,只是微微皺眉,手放在自己的胸口。謝綠知道她想表達什麼,告訴她:「第一次穿都會不習慣,梓綾稍微忍忍,回來就可以……呃,如果妳不介意李晴煬在旁邊,脫掉也沒關係。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAIQ0j2GSxnj
325Please respect copyright.PENANAp5rmqWi368
賴梓綾鼓嘴,看起來不太開心,謝綠覺得她的表情很可愛。325Please respect copyright.PENANADMcr8kMujt
325Please respect copyright.PENANAm8zwha6KfO
無法用言語交流,但感覺得出,賴梓綾很喜歡謝綠,她是繼李晴煬後、第二個能和賴梓綾肢體接觸的人;謝綠也不討厭賴梓綾,畢竟神與畜的女性成員(葛蕾絲和MIO),年紀都差太多。賴梓綾在,謝綠覺得自己多了個妹妹。325Please respect copyright.PENANA3fxfmliQOn
325Please respect copyright.PENANA4xVlGhVFUz
「……。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3WVIlreYs
325Please respect copyright.PENANAt2C6UFHcZG
想到妹妹,謝綠內心一沉。她真正的妹妹──謝頤,自從謝綠加入神與畜,就沒收到她的消息,人也不在謝氏。謝綠一直很愧疚,雖然是她保住謝頤的命,但對妹妹而言,「活下來」是否,才是更痛苦的事?325Please respect copyright.PENANA4Cz0L4sDS2
325Please respect copyright.PENANAM4K1jw9tF9
「抱歉,梓綾,我剛剛恍神了。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAKDPuC22nSS
325Please respect copyright.PENANAu0HmrQZxOq
回到現實,賴梓綾一直用那雙淡紅色的眼睛、盯著謝綠的臉。謝綠恢復微笑,假裝沒事地說:「我的鞋子借妳,我們出發……!」325Please respect copyright.PENANA1Xdg7HnRKA
325Please respect copyright.PENANA18AzH4TbIh
還沒說完,賴梓綾突然緊緊抱住她,謝綠嚇了一跳。325Please respect copyright.PENANAq0VekvMnpA
325Please respect copyright.PENANAGAFNu8rgL3
「梓綾……?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAlFgCR9xW4a
325Please respect copyright.PENANAozKqoOkItJ
「……。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAvmsMoWttbz
325Please respect copyright.PENANApWqRTCD6gn
賴梓綾輕輕拍她的背,謝綠這才意識到,賴梓綾是在安慰自己。325Please respect copyright.PENANA1eMGT0OsW9
325Please respect copyright.PENANAkonuToSDSD
謝綠的表情都沒變,還是被賴梓綾發現她在悲傷。這女孩對人的情緒,似乎比一般人敏感,觀察力也很強。她給謝綠擁抱,因為就賴梓綾的理解,抱抱是一件「開心」的事。325Please respect copyright.PENANA334sgv5XPP
325Please respect copyright.PENANAw2BPgF6ZF3
──也是很溫暖的事。325Please respect copyright.PENANAA3C46AAzI0
325Please respect copyright.PENANAgMxjFhIm6R
「謝謝妳,梓綾,我沒事了。」325Please respect copyright.PENANA20lSCLRm9Q
325Please respect copyright.PENANAq6v47LAHOo
「……。」325Please respect copyright.PENANA453RTXzM36
325Please respect copyright.PENANArxXTRmhDCM
少女淡粉色的眼睛看著謝綠,確認她真的沒事,賴梓綾才放開謝綠。325Please respect copyright.PENANA8gdvl4lZy1
325Please respect copyright.PENANAGWkNNc8yYn
「等這趟回來,我們再慢慢聊。」謝綠微笑,「走吧,梓綾,格格和李晴煬在等我們。」325Please respect copyright.PENANA3iggblhLSw
325Please respect copyright.PENANAFf5ADCixBF
賴梓綾點頭。謝綠從鞋櫃拿出一雙紫色的球鞋,給她換上。325Please respect copyright.PENANAvvlkzOSWGI
325Please respect copyright.PENANACdHMnAPnMj

2161年2月21日,下午四點,仙境大樓,八層325Please respect copyright.PENANAV3KxGK6HUK
325Please respect copyright.PENANAleQ4HKMxon
325Please respect copyright.PENANA6UAFCDs9Li
同一時間,李晴煬靠著牆、坐在地上,在謝綠房間外面,等兩位女士換衣服。325Please respect copyright.PENANAcC8yAC9YDs
325Please respect copyright.PENANA0zhGBYkvgw
李晴煬很煩躁。要不是賴梓綾在裡面,李晴煬才不會來八樓──不是因為謝綠的房間在這,而是另一個人。325Please respect copyright.PENANAspiai5tCrt
325Please respect copyright.PENANAa4bO8gtoq3
「我可以坐你旁邊嗎?」325Please respect copyright.PENANA4XFIKW0N92
325Please respect copyright.PENANAZwO3SfM7el
說人人到。江云格從隔壁房間出來,看到李晴煬在這,竟然主動搭話,李晴煬不知道他在想什麼──因為戴著耳機。325Please respect copyright.PENANAjpD5Sitdbw
325Please respect copyright.PENANAnAAbhoetZM
「隨便你。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAZIbLt3ZfAN
325Please respect copyright.PENANAH8J5yfEWxL
「謝謝。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAdpzsdykuJb
325Please respect copyright.PENANAcGcfmeeJok
說完,江云格也靠著牆、坐在地上。兩個風格迥異的男人坐在一塊兒,如果李晴煬是每天蹺課的問題學生,江云格就是發講義的助教,散發的氣質截然不同。李晴煬瞄了他一眼,江云格細長的眼睛、顏色很淡的棕色頭髮、天生上揚的嘴角,看起來就像……貓。325Please respect copyright.PENANASbnMw8CouB
325Please respect copyright.PENANA0SEbLmKqr7
325Please respect copyright.PENANAI7MaF0hGsg
對,他是貓。325Please respect copyright.PENANAUFNkxHISJ3
325Please respect copyright.PENANAERFLS0yoss
謝綠會喜歡的那種貓。325Please respect copyright.PENANAXz7tlTVt7L
325Please respect copyright.PENANAMqbbaibES5
325Please respect copyright.PENANANLnrtQTfms
「我臉上有什麼嗎?」發現李晴煬一直在看自己,江云格開口,打破沉默。325Please respect copyright.PENANAtHmYcUL0eA
325Please respect copyright.PENANAqrzFVEWt2C
「貓毛。」李晴煬這是實話,江云格臉上確實黏一根毛,應該是他自己的。325Please respect copyright.PENANAeunhsfen4e
325Please respect copyright.PENANA5xEn8o6RiT
「噢。」江云格摸了摸自己的臉,「在哪裡?」325Please respect copyright.PENANA3dnxDOjXUs
325Please respect copyright.PENANAViyjgrVX5v
「右眼眼角。」李晴煬回答。325Please respect copyright.PENANALXVoMKhJge
325Please respect copyright.PENANAsuhRDPhN0X
「右眼……這裡嗎?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAHMl5cvoNqh
325Please respect copyright.PENANAbMLmhZ6JKh
「不,是本大爺的右邊,你的左眼。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAYla9dKcISI
325Please respect copyright.PENANAMXR5jGawSs
江云格伸手要撥,卻停下動作,將臉湊到李晴煬面前,跟他說:「你可以幫我拿掉嗎?謝謝。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAkjcenJ0Zji
325Please respect copyright.PENANAwB8jsogwu6
一個男人的臉突然靠過來,李晴煬嚇一跳,用一種怪異的眼神看著江云格;江云格也盯著他,表情很期待,等李晴煬主動碰自己。325Please respect copyright.PENANA1OmWqCAASP
325Please respect copyright.PENANAkl8ShlLk1H
「……。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAyjLStoSc2a
325Please respect copyright.PENANAbV45TECQb2
說實在,他們平常交集不多,又因為謝綠的事,李晴煬對江云格沒有好感;但江云格相反,他似乎對李晴煬很感興趣,好奇心使然,也是貓的天性。325Please respect copyright.PENANA37jLaZVXwE
325Please respect copyright.PENANAptvf2vkXRc
莫名其妙地,李晴煬伸手,幫江云格拿掉臉上的貓毛,江云格看起來很高興。325Please respect copyright.PENANAt83GFHzuWs
325Please respect copyright.PENANAz0tfJbwXrJ
「謝謝。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAq7hkBckx3Z
325Please respect copyright.PENANAb4PRjvSlO0
江云格道謝,然而,李晴煬的回應不是「不客氣」,而是問他:「你腦子是不是有問題?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAI560lRAxDL
325Please respect copyright.PENANAHoJTACyapA
「我怎麼了?」江云格歪頭,顯然在裝傻。325Please respect copyright.PENANAp81Wbj4ugF
325Please respect copyright.PENANAij9g7uCiVv
「本大爺曾經,害死一隻名字跟你很像的貓。」李晴煬說:「貓能透過嗅覺分辨敵人。本大爺怎麼聞,都是你的敵人吧?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAYBJtA5qpVb
325Please respect copyright.PENANA2qHzsa0bt1
江云格瞇著眼睛笑,看起來更像貓了。325Please respect copyright.PENANAoeZh6g4y2T
325Please respect copyright.PENANAxaoB4A5cT9
「李晴煬,你誤會了。」江云格說:「你的味道不是敵人,而是『根本沒有』。」325Please respect copyright.PENANALsM4hSPdPq
325Please respect copyright.PENANAOJk3Yx3UQz
答案出乎預料,「沒有?」李晴煬問他:「我身上沒有味道?」325Please respect copyright.PENANADtYaFMqxNj
325Please respect copyright.PENANA9jQSLzNbnP
「是的,就這個距離,我什麼也聞不到。」江云格又把臉湊過來,「這麼近才可以,只有一點。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAExLXtBRpKU
325Please respect copyright.PENANA3VydH1hD1D
「……。」325Please respect copyright.PENANADnx5PbqVgv
325Please respect copyright.PENANAD9kAtgGTrf
聽到這,李晴煬第一次對江云格產生興趣。平常躲在謝綠旁邊、看起來很乖的貓,其實很聰明,也很狡猾。貓毛是江云格故意的,他只是想找理由,近距離聞李晴煬。325Please respect copyright.PENANAyx4xRHxvdf
325Please respect copyright.PENANA9BkT9xFIaC
「哼,有趣。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAqcakwrZCpK
325Please respect copyright.PENANAkdTr8kDzoh
說完,李晴煬的身體開始溶化──黑色的汙泥從他的臉流下來,李晴煬成年人的外表消失,變回十六歲的漂亮少年,也是2161年,李門小少爺應有的模樣。325Please respect copyright.PENANAWUdCkUTstQ
325Please respect copyright.PENANAVcnFQ1AQMM
沒錯,早在謝氏、白玫瑰被白絃喚醒,李晴煬和MIO的「交換」就已經解除。他後來的外表,都是用黑色汙泥「做」出來的。真正的他被一層汙泥緊緊包覆,所以江云格「聞不到」。325Please respect copyright.PENANAwDGejUeaK7
325Please respect copyright.PENANAQmcFfrJ50C
「這樣呢?」325Please respect copyright.PENANA8yPihRbnfb
325Please respect copyright.PENANAj2Z5D8Q9ao
聲音也不一樣,本尊李晴煬的音頻較高,典型的美少年聲線。325Please respect copyright.PENANAXVUzZhljgc
325Please respect copyright.PENANAv6yQaVHjVf
「確實,是敵人的味道。」江云格實話實說:「我聞到花香。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAHYPgPFXRBg
325Please respect copyright.PENANAKbp9TDu2TH
「花香?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAB13vWmEabt
325Please respect copyright.PENANAb3DOGzi6Oj
「淡淡的,好像是玫瑰。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAh2S4JWrE3D
325Please respect copyright.PENANADco6hlHYrm
「……。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAK8hqeg5HWr
325Please respect copyright.PENANA2JV5Vr6Nkr
李晴煬陷入沉默,似乎正在思考。這時,換完衣服的謝綠和賴梓綾從房間出來,兩人看到李晴煬這副模樣,都嚇一大跳。325Please respect copyright.PENANAhqhGZv2eEg
325Please respect copyright.PENANAaeeGmL7DUQ
「李…李晴煬?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAZawqnBeSRn
325Please respect copyright.PENANAOJvT8GSuGI
謝綠的記憶彷彿被拉回小時候、與李晴煬認識的聖誕晚宴。李門的小少爺已經不是男孩,而是少年──黑色整齊的短髮,穿著白色的襯衫和牛仔褲,個子比江云格矮,不變的是那雙血紅色的眼睛,和那張漂亮的臉。325Please respect copyright.PENANA04KhuoyhFC
325Please respect copyright.PENANAdRmO1ZmRm5
謝綠問旁邊的江云格:「發生什麼事?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAcUYXbtHrr9
325Please respect copyright.PENANAfWGz7la8H1
江云格言簡意賅:「本體露出。」325Please respect copyright.PENANA5CAqUsOSyz
325Please respect copyright.PENANAmhoAt76qeQ
「本體?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAk6usSIJxmi
325Please respect copyright.PENANALWZHtX8iPv
「他平常的外表,是用水果塔做出來的,和MIO沒有關係。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAH3xKBAPrfi
325Please respect copyright.PENANAe0n6PJ6d5y
這件事,除了李晴煬和MIO,及和MIO心智共享的李博洋,其他人都不知道,所以李晴煬覺得江云格聰明,竟然透過味道,發現他深藏多年的秘密。325Please respect copyright.PENANAN4iHCAeJMf
325Please respect copyright.PENANA4R6xg0ZcQ9
「……。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAiaQh4CTUCt
325Please respect copyright.PENANASsu1uP6LuB
賴梓綾也很震驚。因為水果塔,她還是能認出李晴煬,一見如故的感覺比之前更強。賴梓綾摸著胸口,有個聲音在自己體內吶喊、似乎想對李晴煬說什麼,但她聽不清楚。325Please respect copyright.PENANAf1U3P2A9At
325Please respect copyright.PENANAv4geCJtUHo
「本少爺要用這個模樣去夏家。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAQgWVyIl4Ix
325Please respect copyright.PENANAbjDDEiOJym
李晴煬終於說話,用跟平常很不一樣的聲音,和不一樣的自稱詞。325Please respect copyright.PENANAcTbU2eyLDo
325Please respect copyright.PENANAmQTdwpnHsj
「你們先去停車場。」李晴煬說:「本少爺回房間一趟,拿個東西。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAOyliJfj1XR
325Please respect copyright.PENANAtudm7JQn33
「東西?」江云格很好奇,「是什麼?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAAWViddKV8p
325Please respect copyright.PENANAlb5z0oB7aZ
「信。」李晴煬也不隱瞞,告訴他們:「我爸生前,寫了一封信給我。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAVt8ojh8tqv
325Please respect copyright.PENANAhj0VX9icCK
「……爸爸?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAoiHogD7RuV
325Please respect copyright.PENANAgNaID5G3WA
李晴煬先離開,同時,謝綠聽到李晴煬的話,似乎想起什麼,表情變得很微妙。325Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZzQwEioCa
325Please respect copyright.PENANAvfy3LnewQL
「小綠,妳怎麼了?」江云格發現謝綠的異常,問她:「妳見過李晴煬的父親?」325Please respect copyright.PENANAtRyKIIiVpl
325Please respect copyright.PENANAHdvS3bi44g
「不,李門二爺很早就過世了,我父親參加過他的喪禮。」謝綠回想:「我記得名字是……李康?但從喪禮回來,我大哥說,父親講了很奇怪的話。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAukpo2aoOkv
325Please respect copyright.PENANASyOVQOkw4e
「奇怪的話?」江云格問。325Please respect copyright.PENANAN5KLjHpnAQ
325Please respect copyright.PENANAyKZtJQyUEJ
「他說:『李康之所以會瘋、會死,因為他在反抗紅心傑克。』」325Please respect copyright.PENANANogoepXhDL
325Please respect copyright.PENANA0cZK8MCEEh
江云格覺得奇怪,謝照顏不喜歡李門,卻願意參加李康的喪禮。身為反高派的謝氏,認為李康和其他李門人士「不一樣」,為什麼?325Please respect copyright.PENANA0h9Es8ym7A
325Please respect copyright.PENANA6z65SaznMP
「過了很多年,大哥又和父親聊到李康,父親講了一樣的話,還說李康『成功了』。大哥問他什麼意思,父親的回答是……一個人名。」325Please respect copyright.PENANA1cCOppo8Iq
325Please respect copyright.PENANA3cIs0co8KI
那時候的自己很小,謝綠不知道父親說的人是誰;如今想來,她覺得很詭異、很古怪,全身雞皮疙瘩都上來,事情越來越離奇。325Please respect copyright.PENANATMnfBliOkE
325Please respect copyright.PENANABFyMuoHPXz
325Please respect copyright.PENANAcVMvNQGHVq
「『李晴煬』。」325Please respect copyright.PENANAcBSH3RcGIp
325Please respect copyright.PENANAJImIKeDc1I
325Please respect copyright.PENANAiPhbxZpXAZ
謝綠沒有記錯。她非常確定,就是這個名字。325Please respect copyright.PENANARi3cTtLQZ7
325Please respect copyright.PENANAr7CxgiM0BR
325Please respect copyright.PENANAlkV2bf0Bhl
「『看李晴煬就知道』」325Please respect copyright.PENANAfW8FYEi7Yp
