2154年12月24日，晚上七點，黑教堂707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS3s9fSeYI
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqhudmfK2K
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVovwkkYSz
主辦人──薩拉凱爾教教主致詞後，晚宴在七點準時開始。現場準備許多珍饈佳餚，世界最知名的樂隊在前方演奏，機器服務生送來各式各樣的美酒。原本以為是嚴肅的宴會，沒想到氣氛活潑，像屬於貴族的派對。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI42ELK3HoC
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLTtcBsvaE
「……。」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIITeKGqHMO
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl23WYmsuSu
不過，他現在很尷尬。謝賢讓他和謝綠獨處，顧爾不能在隨侍在旁。李晴煬和謝綠靠在牆邊，不知道要說什麼。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiGbIU6q8l
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJjT7dJfao
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5tvnMOOqC
「觀自在菩薩。行深般若波羅蜜多時。照見五蘊皆空。度一切苦厄。舍利子。色不異空。空不異色。色即是空。空即是色……」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJI6Gup3vA
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwj8L39357
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9sm8uHiqG
和晚宴氣氛很不相符，他竟然從謝綠身上，聽到和尚誦經的聲音；因為太另類，李晴煬對她留下深刻的印象。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw65zOABeV
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU6eXA5rtz
而且，謝綠很漂亮──李晴煬無法否認，眼前的女孩讓他十分著迷，尤其是草綠色的眼睛。她渾身散發一個「靜」字，小小年紀，彷彿看透很多事。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5bQjxAFtD
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pXfd3wscR
「你是第一次參加？」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI59LB5d9q
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1VOKJoMO9
李晴煬不知道怎麼開話題，謝綠率先開口，打破尷尬的氣氛。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGdUDN3tqx
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtAjTlocmf
喝著專為小孩調配的無酒精雞尾酒，李晴煬回應：「嗯。」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjErywzENQ3
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEnCXBMVKj
「之前為什麼缺席？」謝綠單刀直入地問。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9EQYwMunr
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShqSyOv7cE
「討厭人多的地方。」李晴煬簡單回答。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7UOBSZ5Dc
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeVrBCZhng
「今年又為什麼來？」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMtFAVtZBi
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8i6aL9iAR
「見見世面。」李晴煬聳肩，「不能一直窩在家裡。」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s3uhtb4rj
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq72Q2EmRPP
謝綠沉默。李晴煬覺得剛才的氣氛不錯，換他問：「妳呢？每年都來？」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J3pSMQKwI
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO6d4reZpw
「八歲開始，這是第三次。」謝綠沒有逃避他的問題，老實回答。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkjT5zex4N
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcl9AZAWC7
「為什麼？」李晴煬看著謝綠厭世的臉，「妳不像喜歡這種場合的人。」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkLC3Enk45
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FVPADfrUm
「還能因為什麼？我是被拖來的。」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xnyg481Qy
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWpMQj60xY
李晴煬聽見謝綠嘆氣的聲音。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SB6UcxqhA
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPIdZUtpEP
「在場的人，妳都認識嗎？」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjQU41cqPA
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1w6ikM3hX
謝綠一定知道十大家族的事，李晴煬決定問問，以免氣氛又變尷尬。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH8SrpWdIx
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwTQoTlpLE
「大部分知道。」謝綠看向他，「你都不認識？」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV856o1prBU
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPl7FOaScw
李晴煬點頭。謝綠沉默幾秒，「好吧。」帶李晴煬去角落，好一次看到全部的人。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSRoHkX8P7
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkk31JJgRN
「我一直很想問。」前往角落的路上，謝綠上上下下審視他一番，「李門的穿衣品味都這麼怪？」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BXlkkAVgT
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVTPjPGyqT
李晴煬想回答「妳以為我願意嗎？」但不像自己會說的話，改用挑釁的語氣：「怎麼？本少爺這樣不好看？」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cbEGUK4BO
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2XbtNiE9t
「嗯。」謝綠秒答，補了句：「活像個娘炮。」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEHa86WtE9
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkWorvRs2p
「娘炮」兩字像一隻箭，狠狠從李晴煬胸前穿了過去。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpohGakONV
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2bZMVjdFN
「妳的穿衣品味才奇怪！哪有人古裝下面搭短裙！」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzqK8rvd8Z
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL1PqLHbPE
「比較好活動。」謝綠哼了一聲，「我父親都沒說什麼，你管那麼多幹嘛？」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoQv02Ru62
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEONDwUqFQD
「妳……！」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MLrLtH3Cu
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXysZyh1q19
「啊，這兒就行了，要從哪一家開始介紹呢……？」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWxcvhZqiY
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLOwujPsdz
謝綠規避掉話題。雖然表情不多、年紀又小，但她講話很不客氣，顯然沒在怕李晴煬。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCKQYEGkmr
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtSizlNhbK
李晴煬撇了撇嘴，順著謝綠手指的方向看去──那群穿醫師袍的年輕人。李晴煬率先說：「希波克拉底一脈。」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMp9Kx1HqI
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgzdyzzFGt
「你知道？」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOkCh0uG5F
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpT3Zzl76g
「聽來的。」李晴煬說：「詳細不清楚。」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpTFjtdTDH
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQKGIOunIi
「嗯，看來我高估你了。」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoNtrSwV6O
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwlGINXEuX
李晴煬的嘴角抽動幾下。謝綠不理他，專心介紹：707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4xOmJVXfl
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU18ws8GpDr
「希波克拉底一脈，十大家族第九，擅長領域是醫學，家族成員都是醫生、藥劑師、法醫、醫檢師……全世界的醫院，背後的經營者都是他們。」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAwxanAdED
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeLXYd6rFZ
謝綠雙手環胸，用一種非常帥氣的姿勢，靠在牆上。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe1aJ6jcPQ
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXFJu4iDDx
「傳說他們的家族成員，全是古希臘時代的醫學大師──希波克拉底的後代。但年代久遠，沒有統一姓氏，才用祖先的名字統稱。」謝綠說。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2Z2LZBgeb
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgfK3rXdcF
「他們平常都這樣，穿醫師袍晃來晃去？」李晴煬問。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oGQBMlqsC
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRxQRGZg7t
「每個家族都有自己的穿衣風格。希波克拉底一脈以醫生為榮，醫師袍是身分的象徵。」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnvm1yo6xe
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6qnzrDUWK
謝綠的眼睛改看向另一群人。李晴煬順著她的視線看去──把滾筒衛生紙裹在身上的貴婦。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbggAYBNOa
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyyaFckrWt
「雷蒙一家。」謝綠說：「十大家族第八，時尚業的壟斷者。」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSBeEbbg1M
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUOglJtoyA
「時…時尚？」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeJar0bTWC
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMeTOtcLrZ
李晴煬挑眉。不只捲筒衛生紙，有人的髮型像花椰菜，有人的洋裝像菜瓜布，還有一個女人的披肩是黑色垃圾袋。時尚真難懂。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnYRvTViGX
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnveFd1v7cX
「今年算收斂了。」謝綠看出李晴煬的疑惑，告訴他：「我去年，看過把色鉛筆插在頭上的。」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPv0JQs3Bq
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm2iKU8dIb
「穿這種衣服還能笑……要是本少爺，恨不得死了個算了。」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7NeW2y4iU
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ4aBQJ4Bi
李晴煬說完，聽見謝綠發出輕輕的笑聲。沒想到她會笑──李晴煬心想，心情不自覺好起來。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoDA2T0MQB
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiMJJfvu4e
「雷蒙一家旗下的品牌，從服裝到飾品，還有專門培訓藝人的經紀公司；另外，他們家的物流技術也很創新，不少零售店搶著和他們合作。」謝綠故意補充：「而且，他們家的人都很漂亮。」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97M93DRzX5
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnApo45X10N
「……不把那身恐怖的衣服脫掉，本少爺無法體會。」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9rTTpOrK7
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HDwy2QBAs
視線離開雷蒙一家，李晴煬改看向另一群──正在會場中央表演魔術、射飛鏢、拋彩球的馬戲團人士。晚宴的氣氛之所以活潑，都拜這群小丑所賜。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgoB4qeDTy
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lfVg272ED
「那又是誰？」李晴煬問謝綠。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXRMLqIdVj
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8XobWziEM
「史密斯馬戲團，十大家族第七，慈善事業。」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r9laNZAeS
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse1tmOkgWP
謝綠說完，其中一名史密斯變出一堆彩色氣球，逗得周遭人笑聲不斷、表情又驚又喜。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO5ePhfO9e
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rvOCYqJtW
「史密斯居無定所，他們在全世界巡迴演出，收入都拿去照顧弱勢，是聲望很高的家族，但也因為這樣，他們不是很富有。」謝綠說。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVikqwn7bNF
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhmtMnpZ9H
「聽起來很偉大。」李晴煬附和。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHZVxVMsr5
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNfGnvV1hT
「坦白說，他們挺奇妙的。聖誕晚宴是史密斯少數參加的活動，其他正式場合，一概不參加。」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5daWMtep8
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPDd9Zmmwt
介紹完，謝綠的手指向另一群人。李晴煬剛好想問，畢竟，他看那群光速戰士很久了。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkDti1VeG6
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWURMivpRux
「白與金，統稱Platinum。白家壟斷科技，金家壟斷軍火，兩家因為婚姻關係結合。十大家族第五和第六，是非常強的軍火聯盟，絕對不容小覷。」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uGz98fd4F
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETORMsjuUI
李晴煬對他們的服裝更感興趣。謝氏像武俠小說的角色，Platinum則是遊戲，會發射高速激光的那種。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPXJ5jRwaC
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTR27hQn2r
「他們漂浮在空中？」李晴煬踮腳尖，試著看清楚。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xvluKBKr2
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPbLLIuXb6
「嗯，他們腳底的投影圖騰，那是漂浮裝置。」謝綠說。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DT9GtyF3g
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivwsUryC7f
「背上那又是什麼？翅膀？」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n8alDsiPR
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI6mlgF2IZ
「那也是投影，圖案會隨他們的情緒變化……你看，變成橘色了，那個人現在心情很好。」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ9ddLKiAp
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdwlBZVemh
Platinum的穿衣風格非常前衛。移動時，兩腳懸浮在空中，衣服還會飄起來，浮空時的畫面很好看，但科技感太強，給人的感覺很不真實。明明是人類，卻把自己弄得像機器人。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUTFx8fyws
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbwO4lZkKn
「黑色教袍的是薩拉凱爾教、十八世紀貴族打扮的是李門、像從漢朝穿越來的是謝氏……這些你都知道了。」謝綠把胸前的手放下來，看著李晴煬的臉，「還有不知道的嗎？」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb8gCenMMi
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ANAM312od
「妳怎麼只介紹八個？」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BsZQ6XZbh
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68QGTu9sw0
李晴煬發現，前後的高宇維與夏家，謝綠都沒有說。聽完他的問題，謝綠意味深長地陷入沉默，沉默持續了一陣子。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPQLTSugCI
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbSfHfEiHD
「沒介紹的兩家，都沒有出席。」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVFqiDTik3
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvJUVOHIQy
不等李晴煬問，謝綠就告訴他：707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8ByhcmtWq
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3kohxvtBX
「夏家……十大家族第十，是非常奇怪的家族。他們比高宇維還神秘，沒有人知道他們在做什麼、裡面有誰，連他們住在哪都不知道。」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yu5595MqU
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaVrEtY0Rl
「這樣也算十大家族？」李晴煬立刻問。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb5PO27McA
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43Oi0HDoLE
「我也不知道，但神秘歸神秘，他們也沒做什麼。」謝綠聳肩。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMXzYBN6GJ
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bJGkW5TR8
「高宇維呢？」問完夏家，李晴煬再問另一個缺席者：「他這麼跩，這種場合都不來？」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7dhhS9YW9
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOWqGQEqpr
「別說『這種場合』，高宇維連自己的活動都不出席。」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbj3Mfulr1
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFxQE2yx1n
謝綠說，似是對高宇維的缺席見怪不怪。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2VwoJb6uG
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkckrj349px
「我不知道怎麼說，高宇維好像不喜歡其他家族，想和我們劃清關係，可是──」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVML3th7KT
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7OrWoHpJF
謝綠把話停在這兒。她的眼神突然變得十分銳利、似乎在警戒什麼。李晴煬順著她的視線看去，赫然對上一雙眼睛，嚇得他後退兩步。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajB4csRar6
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfSkynVVQD
「……。」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqtcRMIJtP
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg2GITF7sW
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXP4v9DsIU
一名白色頭髮的男子，正從遠遠的地方看著他們。707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfhk8WlK5f
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Jb6PoYHbx
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgnBuibdwX
男子是整個會場，唯一穿著正常西裝的人。他離李晴煬和謝綠很遠，但筆直的視線彷彿要把刺穿。李晴煬不自覺感到緊張，旁邊的謝綠瞪了回去，跟李晴煬說：707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczu1b9Bdz6
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5btyaqj39
「可是今年，高宇維派他的親信來了。」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNy4MBYpbk
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6pRIpdoW0
謝綠不敢掉以輕心，就怕一不留神，男子會做出不利她的舉動。李晴煬問謝綠：「親信？」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxzAhxSxDN
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOOUtMap16
「對，親信──你聽過神與畜吧？他是第一幹部、地位僅次於高宇維。」707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXayJDlnGbc
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6keEwsJQxN
謝綠的雙刀已經蓄勢待發。她一手握住刀柄，說出那個禁忌的名字──707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb4wKobnwI
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViPYcSnIB2
「里奧．懷特。」
