2154年12月24日，晚上七點，黑教堂729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbKWXsbsJv
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FuJXZeFkt
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTIXhRHmlt
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。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6PM6yNcYn
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtcQDTcjMx
「……。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchW3cSnzbE
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmvYUKrqvN
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。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXQiczD99G
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgllO6O79Xg
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAouwtySV5C
「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……」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibC9H31NIz
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo4wCpIvrO
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYmPVcASn6
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。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxivT59Mzi7
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TbtDd35Tn
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。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwDUOPRrjl
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHZMKuZyJ2
「你是第一次參加？」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gaZrcMbI1
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGS2P0N0sK
李晴煬不知道怎麼開話題，謝綠率先開口，打破尷尬的氣氛。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIu9QrKEeK
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkSNG9g4G9
喝著專為小孩調配的無酒精雞尾酒，李晴煬回應：「嗯。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiFcoQWd2Q
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6HDU5oMOE
「之前為什麼缺席？」謝綠單刀直入地問。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OM1jZLUUA
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmaojYnLXO
「討厭人多的地方。」李晴煬簡單回答。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeb4UKyOQt
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ8fzHcBGn
「今年又為什麼來？」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK5TsTXfkm
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa90KRTpTmi
「見見世面。」李晴煬聳肩，「不能一直窩在家裡。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6ozEPciuf
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL44S1YuqKk
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？」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn5PNZXBDw
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3GQczXZX4
「八歲開始，這是第三次。」謝綠沒有逃避他的問題，老實回答。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFjaylJmuk
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQYCCDrHKf
「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。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2nI4IrLEd
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOVQsmJw5w
「還能因為什麼？我是被拖來的。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD0TSDM6Io
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwrWc69Fvi
李晴煬聽見謝綠嘆氣的聲音。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8VMOJD1oy
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQl11ILG6h
「在場的人，妳都認識嗎？」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyLg2gZQKg
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpaXhoLEtr
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。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1Oqimhm9H
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXyncb0plj
「大部分知道。」謝綠看向他，「你都不認識？」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNqkYTqNXX
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXHTOgEsqN
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。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8mi6HMrQp
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzYCYjjphP
「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？」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zvbFGaotG
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW87q1xEHw
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？」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRuBjQhI9c
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU6gjXfjwk
「嗯。」謝綠秒答，補了句：「活像個娘炮。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbIfXyjGNc
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSmL2HtiXy
「娘炮」兩字像一隻箭，狠狠從李晴煬胸前穿了過去。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTQt4k6zn3
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQNEKWwWWQ
「妳的穿衣品味才奇怪！哪有人古裝下面搭短裙！」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CZfDe29Fm
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zwTaeK3RD
「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？」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtH7DYptD5
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpVQBZPJi5
「妳……！」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqduG2D4pdL
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX9AUiDtWU
「啊，這兒就行了，要從哪一家開始介紹呢……？」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7pcV2cRjs
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XUZxAkJtI
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。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfFOMKGn5l
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhmnzXlRjX
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。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimQu4jlt8f
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWWMGM2VBJ
「你知道？」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4Chg3MAtA
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwiqwvpL6d
「聽來的。」李晴煬說：「詳細不清楚。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yFGGzfcDw
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoGjBiWklQ
「嗯，看來我高估你了。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYRTHMrwBS
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn80QLCUSv
李晴煬的嘴角抽動幾下。謝綠不理他，專心介紹：729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxUrLrUDFk
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtWJs03eCG
「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。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjumbvv8bO
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb2cXLnGZW
謝綠雙手環胸，用一種非常帥氣的姿勢，靠在牆上。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QKYzlrse6
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHRjl4UvLY
「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。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexMuRLtgAo
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxbP3QNUBe
「他們平常都這樣，穿醫師袍晃來晃去？」李晴煬問。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv3JWTjNEy
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KmoQb2tpm
「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。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjG0xYMJMu
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS4ctfjs0J
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。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡissknXo4ks
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnZy6Evfn8
「雷蒙一家。」謝綠說：「十大家族第八，時尚業的壟斷者。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1d0vPeZzP
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SuUIklhBf
「時…時尚？」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUY5fkfkOE
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA5OG2BTjL
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。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSARvWmgsF
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e6xhOG2f1
「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。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMUDWS4Sar
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YBvyoZdbo
「穿這種衣服還能笑……要是本少爺，恨不得死了個算了。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4kKw0EsZZ
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wk80COQRN
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。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T72fYtnzq
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ26aHq1rwr
「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。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnK35UogdW
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aV1NoLVK1
「……不把那身恐怖的衣服脫掉，本少爺無法體會。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOgKCiOAuP
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J6pWhzfPY
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。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPnLNqsdmF
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yD6ZFT4Yn
「那又是誰？」李晴煬問謝綠。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLi3JOLVSq
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqHMks2j7n
「史密斯馬戲團，十大家族第七，慈善事業。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxluJkQfL4h
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jk7jKevcH
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。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzPZlMgwvR
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVPspbvAEj
「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。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiFxKldtzy
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWyYYfCp43
「聽起來很偉大。」李晴煬附和。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZeNtELuEb
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfPvJ7fHxv
「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。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Nyi7Nt4ny
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68RdRyvQl7
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。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG5h68lKja
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78VRk65XUM
「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。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpTARxQLJd
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14K17W8VqG
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。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy58viCRmax
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0iAHxH3K5
「他們漂浮在空中？」李晴煬踮腳尖，試著看清楚。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGVBVSv1aA
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE0gy1fgJW
「嗯，他們腳底的投影圖騰，那是漂浮裝置。」謝綠說。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuLF9Eqo7G
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS1jFfM8ca
「背上那又是什麼？翅膀？」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Zzeyg2lmv
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtgwm7sM1E
「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。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdnKdulcmh
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g5iq24ZRH
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。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcY6st2P43
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4c5TLjryN
「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？」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfiB6cLL4Z
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqOPtMteoX
「妳怎麼只介紹八個？」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZRwgyEmEa
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwQ9jydnd6
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。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVaRecBehj
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1823Kg0sxK
「沒介紹的兩家，都沒有出席。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhGAWdovOy
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnmoyulhO1
不等李晴煬問，謝綠就告訴他：729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lPtSbqbd4
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PV1gFPoRP
「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。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLLYk9p9T5
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNAmc4Vo4b
「這樣也算十大家族？」李晴煬立刻問。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0RyatvqHK
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2G3Y84PeI
「我也不知道，但神秘歸神秘，他們也沒做什麼。」謝綠聳肩。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OtjfS5PYO
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUHP9W44Ur
「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？」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneORwlVpCm
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx8uKcs5oL
「別說『這種場合』，高宇維連自己的活動都不出席。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HhJViR83S
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO6eq1dZP0
謝綠說，似是對高宇維的缺席見怪不怪。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlZgqm6ygo
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5GgPtiUTh
「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──」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR44bFkQmj
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdusR3AbMW4
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。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9KX98xr5W
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI1iCfkJcX
「……。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKY7Aez5Gx
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7WgtvIcT6
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZDhmmmdQq
一名白色頭髮的男子，正從遠遠的地方看著他們。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxN0aNdBvd
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWOMznqIlw
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVQiq8nztK
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：729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQTtCbJTek
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ5P1v16wo
「可是今年，高宇維派他的親信來了。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWdtbVsWIA
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxwg5Cxuhm
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？」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVn5Tt1CiH
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxAll70pLm
「對，親信──你聽過神與畜吧？他是第一幹部、地位僅次於高宇維。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHJ5XL2dAA
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSk0LaKX2D
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──729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8rciVNKP1
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWqd9b9Zoi
「里奧．懷特。」
