2161年3月3日,早上八點,亞茲拉爾山387Please respect copyright.PENANArkg1W88ZPa
387Please respect copyright.PENANAKRv3OH5tyF
387Please respect copyright.PENANAtZb2E7HrY4
──之前做錯事的是夏悠,不是妳。387Please respect copyright.PENANAxrQqqhI7FL
387Please respect copyright.PENANAnLEgLPV9vG
──身為艾莉絲,妳不會不甘心嗎?387Please respect copyright.PENANAd834KHeSbx
387Please respect copyright.PENANA0fyq0x6DuI
387Please respect copyright.PENANAK7Xyb5vaAY
不知為何,謝綠的那段話,始終在艾莉絲腦中盤旋。她無時無刻都在思考,也不明白,自己為什麼要這麼在意。387Please respect copyright.PENANAx2WQO4h4Ml
387Please respect copyright.PENANAbAnbw37GoC
「……。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAZLiFBOGByg
387Please respect copyright.PENANAjlGFKkYDTd
來到亞茲拉爾山的山腰,這裡積了一層厚厚的雪。她感覺不到冷,意思意思披了件牛仔外套,一個人站在觀景台,一覽黑教堂的全貌。黑色的眼珠像在放空,其實一直在思考,思緒停不下來。387Please respect copyright.PENANAzsoU4ihvsK
387Please respect copyright.PENANAnI5BfbKDIZ
高宇維為什麼找自己,為什麼約在亞茲拉爾山,他為什麼沒有準時赴約……她不知道。昨晚一收到高宇維的通知,她只回答一聲「好」,不問原因,一百年來都是如此。387Please respect copyright.PENANAkGDhrln3Uu
387Please respect copyright.PENANAiz7piPjH7k
不會死,也不算生,隨時都能被取代。三項條件具備,她無法拒絕高宇維或白絃,以為「艾莉絲」就是這樣的存在,直到謝綠說了那一番話。387Please respect copyright.PENANAz0g9L8RnDq
387Please respect copyright.PENANAzMJucssa8i
387Please respect copyright.PENANAfKK2qf2EsW
──我不是夏悠。387Please respect copyright.PENANAI1TnTM94F4
387Please respect copyright.PENANAdp3UF0fGSV
謝綠的話,讓她意識到這件事。387Please respect copyright.PENANA9YUPc0HLtZ
387Please respect copyright.PENANANWKU9jKuWw
387Please respect copyright.PENANAWnvVzClyV2
人有原罪。與第一代水果塔相遇的夏悠,產生感情而犯下重罪,變得越來越像人;自己相反,她什麼都沒有,所以她還是艾莉絲。387Please respect copyright.PENANAGMi3O40ykS
387Please respect copyright.PENANAODGUtthcqD
她和夏悠是不同人,這一點,高宇維和白絃很清楚,所以一個相信她會變成夏悠,另一個不相信。387Please respect copyright.PENANArtqIIADsKt
387Please respect copyright.PENANA8rHDbj6uVJ
「……。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAMXcpvTCdak
387Please respect copyright.PENANAgu1UWRifaH
她呢?387Please respect copyright.PENANA5vhqXNtGE7
387Please respect copyright.PENANAhD81FX7IOk
她也覺得,自己會變成夏悠嗎?387Please respect copyright.PENANA6OrFPaYVeG
387Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ui39Vekyz
她能成為夏悠嗎?387Please respect copyright.PENANAg86WPMdDGt
387Please respect copyright.PENANAWjcAT3hXMy
她……想變成夏悠嗎?387Please respect copyright.PENANApPRtBWuUyE
387Please respect copyright.PENANAK6hf2ZmWxx
腦中的疑問越來越多,冷冽的風吹過頭髮。她下意識伸手,摸了摸自己的耳垂──耳環還在,她感到放心,不知道為什麼。387Please respect copyright.PENANAwMYMhlciWP
387Please respect copyright.PENANAa5STmF2Q6s
387Please respect copyright.PENANAAUkM6fwyPY
──姊姊,這個送妳。387Please respect copyright.PENANAcHLi0GnQCn
387Please respect copyright.PENANAYAcDPLZstw
387Please respect copyright.PENANAzFncIEQZ1K
男孩的聲音在腦中響起。她想起那個紅頭髮的男孩,一副小大人的模樣,說她戴耳環很好看。387Please respect copyright.PENANApCTJTGbGyI
387Please respect copyright.PENANAfkF6RKis2s
387Please respect copyright.PENANApFGA658Mce
──不要覺得自己怪怪的。387Please respect copyright.PENANAgPYeQOC7HY
387Please respect copyright.PENANAng50LsH6Hw
387Please respect copyright.PENANAVXx9DYFcGa
「我……」387Please respect copyright.PENANAhWdDGjVObg
387Please respect copyright.PENANA0p5wLS6Q21
387Please respect copyright.PENANAV4QdPPyITT
──妳是很棒很棒的姊姊。387Please respect copyright.PENANAPYlo7GB7IJ
387Please respect copyright.PENANA55x7FIhWw1
387Please respect copyright.PENANAKt98DvZlQc
「我不想……變成她。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAD6H04becPa
387Please respect copyright.PENANAGtBh2yRw5T
夏悠的人生沒有耳環,也沒有那個男孩。此刻站在亞茲拉爾山、戴著那副耳環的,是她自己。387Please respect copyright.PENANA4kWWOlCltl
387Please respect copyright.PENANAWRDtN9dre5
名字。她心想。387Please respect copyright.PENANALI8WKNbPKV
387Please respect copyright.PENANAUso7iTEqqF
或許她需要名字。387Please respect copyright.PENANA7RhTwD7Juo
387Please respect copyright.PENANAhJ1rOtXKXU
艾莉絲只是身分,如果有名字,就能告訴大家她不是夏悠,也不想成為夏悠。謝綠啟發了她,她想為自己作主一次。387Please respect copyright.PENANAAvnjdMYNMt
387Please respect copyright.PENANASSEOIedyrY
387Please respect copyright.PENANAgXuzGmEwqV
「磅!!!」387Please respect copyright.PENANAYE5yaa81Eb
387Please respect copyright.PENANAsCdMcnT37h
387Please respect copyright.PENANAzG6Mikgar9
突然,劇烈的聲響從前方傳來。她抬頭,看見黑教堂的南棟正在冒煙,整棟建築被打穿一個洞,一個水果塔在裡面。387Please respect copyright.PENANAYpMwHXy6Lp
387Please respect copyright.PENANAKRjmfK9WJj
「獅鷲?」387Please respect copyright.PENANAHDruAGbisG
387Please respect copyright.PENANAeoL9UG5rfU
她正感疑惑,發現北棟還有一個水果塔,在回應白絃的憤怒。387Please respect copyright.PENANAzgwVKTvJDf
387Please respect copyright.PENANALzKeSP7Ofs
「紅心…傑克?」387Please respect copyright.PENANAK5zKyUYiRF
387Please respect copyright.PENANAf4SQ4S0iqK
上次見面,李晴煬還好好的,怎麼突然被李仲翔……不,她看向山腰,發現還有一個水果塔,也是第一代。387Please respect copyright.PENANA39moL0orHJ
387Please respect copyright.PENANAtp26BttwZd
「……睡鼠?」387Please respect copyright.PENANADh7hUncykU
387Please respect copyright.PENANArVE9HV9FdO
她不解,睡鼠的存在感比紅心傑克強,小約翰得到後代的身體,睡鼠「真的」回來了。387Please respect copyright.PENANAgOWFtS2x8G
387Please respect copyright.PENANAsVmnEbG5y2
為什麼?什麼時候?她想去確認,但剛踏出一步,她感應到第四個水果塔,離自己非常近。387Please respect copyright.PENANAUK4J5GZRff
387Please respect copyright.PENANAlmL0ZzBPYT
「怎麼……!?」387Please respect copyright.PENANA4B7Pg4emFT
387Please respect copyright.PENANAtU0qYG85zJ
話沒說完,突然天搖地動,四面八方劇烈搖晃,「轟轟!」的恐怖聲音從山裡傳來。艾莉絲重心不穩、跌到地上,眼看身下的雪都被濺起,她失去平時的冷靜從容,嚇得叫出聲來。387Please respect copyright.PENANAxgzkz3yjhR
387Please respect copyright.PENANAYqx0nQlTZr
「啊……!」387Please respect copyright.PENANAwNyHqrucKW
387Please respect copyright.PENANAY4A6a4h6Yb
地震。387Please respect copyright.PENANACzHtNn5UQa
387Please respect copyright.PENANAXxVf758N69
「啊……啊啊!」387Please respect copyright.PENANAdX3WR2yAZp
387Please respect copyright.PENANAOWhjbiicIk
一瞬間,深藏在體內深處,由每一代艾莉絲繼承、屬於本尊「夏悠」的記憶,全部浮現在她腦中。她的手和另一個人重疊,腿被坍塌的水泥壓斷,自己只能趴在地上求救,大喊:387Please respect copyright.PENANADazrCbfl91
387Please respect copyright.PENANAhGeyye6IQJ
387Please respect copyright.PENANAZSXwrrLRHg
──救命!!387Please respect copyright.PENANAtNHJwJiXl6
387Please respect copyright.PENANAniGgzNJK0o
387Please respect copyright.PENANAnPh2T6oHhP
「不要……!」387Please respect copyright.PENANArerJLXDm1Q
387Please respect copyright.PENANAp0CDW11cTy
387Please respect copyright.PENANAD6Fdgr2hfs
──我被困住了,救命啊!!387Please respect copyright.PENANALali7jrrc3
387Please respect copyright.PENANAhwYojNGlac
387Please respect copyright.PENANA1WRdojSA28
「停下,停下……!」387Please respect copyright.PENANAPubVxLeFaO
387Please respect copyright.PENANALzKMPmkN9f
387Please respect copyright.PENANA43k7BVZwnU
──媽媽!媽媽,妳在哪!?387Please respect copyright.PENANAoU4J96zA0O
387Please respect copyright.PENANABlUD06WWjA
387Please respect copyright.PENANA4wTSXPmUSe
「轟轟!」的聲音越來越大。她抬頭,「夏悠」最後的記憶──海嘯般的土石從山坡衝下。樹被折斷、房舍潰爛、卡車翻覆,土石朝她撲來,最後──387Please respect copyright.PENANAwzW0WsV76s
387Please respect copyright.PENANAZGC1twwDzt
「啊啊!啊啊啊啊啊啊!」387Please respect copyright.PENANAVC7fUJxk5H
387Please respect copyright.PENANARMiShXejFo
她尖叫,同時,地震瓦解了自我。區分毫無意義,每一個繼承「夏悠」的她們,都來自一位悲傷的母親。她們是女兒的替代品,繼承同樣的記憶,對死亡的恐懼將她們合而為一──合成一個艾莉絲。387Please respect copyright.PENANAhyY4TFRx22
387Please respect copyright.PENANAuAzCciTU5O
「……。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAifkVfd4A5P
387Please respect copyright.PENANAAdiAGteKns
地震結束,艾莉絲像可憐的小動物趴在地上、四肢脫力。怪的是,其它地方沒有,只有亞茲拉爾山、艾莉絲所在的這一角,發生了近三十秒的地震。387Please respect copyright.PENANAIrshOfyTP0
387Please respect copyright.PENANAiTSzroNUy0
387Please respect copyright.PENANA64UP1LRJty
「我從來不擔心。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAdwfB0gXfcG
387Please respect copyright.PENANAPeXKtvGKOH
「妳的創傷後壓力症候群,我隨時都能喚醒。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAStbTC6AymE
387Please respect copyright.PENANAgAcVG0zv92
387Please respect copyright.PENANAiOSEbPWA4J
白色的長靴來到她面前,白色的拐杖被放在一旁。艾莉絲抬頭,灰色頭髮的少年單膝跪在自己面前,向她伸手。387Please respect copyright.PENANAVgwFs7VybT
387Please respect copyright.PENANAOcahkzTrUR
「您還好嗎?」387Please respect copyright.PENANA4OemTx6P2U
387Please respect copyright.PENANAxfP3E1pIJI
來迎接她的,不是獅鷲,不是紅心傑克,而是瘋帽。高宇維將亞茲拉爾山的時間倒回2月23日,重現了上個禮拜、檸檬經歷的那場地震。387Please respect copyright.PENANAniu0D39UaF
387Please respect copyright.PENANA2MF8XZfFvx
「……。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2ayVqkiJO
387Please respect copyright.PENANAykelaPz7qx
艾莉絲驚魂未定,黑色的眼珠還在哭,但有什麼東西醒來了。原本的她只是空殼,如今有好多、好多東西充斥在體內;包含夏悠,包含她自己。387Please respect copyright.PENANAxZKhfzbKU4
387Please respect copyright.PENANAmuGfpu8zqz
387Please respect copyright.PENANA9cCf77Sxee
「欲雪?」387Please respect copyright.PENANAjf1QvL8Nmz
387Please respect copyright.PENANAHVGs58BqDC
387Please respect copyright.PENANA1g269KV0zq
地震前,高宇維就是高宇維;地震後,她想起他是瘋帽──最令她放心、值得信賴的瘋帽。夏悠的回憶變成她的,夏悠的故事變成她的,都是她的一部份。387Please respect copyright.PENANA4oHwNzJgsu
387Please respect copyright.PENANATGInhCTQh4
「抱歉,我現在不用那個名字了。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAgX42z04Ixo
387Please respect copyright.PENANAX4QRwQz1rH
雖然手段有點粗暴,但高宇維覺得一切值得。他將手放在胸前,向眼前的艾莉絲行禮,也向她道歉。387Please respect copyright.PENANATJhHOhrQEd
387Please respect copyright.PENANAQxKnVC62qH
387Please respect copyright.PENANAKqQfdG3o3z
「恭候多時。」387Please respect copyright.PENANA2xluVvI8xB

2161年3月3日,早上十點,黑教堂,南棟387Please respect copyright.PENANAVgf2UdWiQm
387Please respect copyright.PENANA4ey7Rd26dn
387Please respect copyright.PENANAikh32Zu8XB
好慘。里奧心想。387Please respect copyright.PENANANU6ymPuYfU
387Please respect copyright.PENANAC3DQlC9fmb
被白絃大鬧後的黑教堂,真的很慘。387Please respect copyright.PENANAruBvkKPrqL
387Please respect copyright.PENANALd1YvK3Q9A
里奧來到禮拜堂,看見檸檬倒在地上,他將女兒抱起來,呼喚:「安琪。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAB55FOMHuuA
387Please respect copyright.PENANAtoEneU59QJ
「……?」387Please respect copyright.PENANAO1TLQJDTCX
387Please respect copyright.PENANASPYZQXsFel
檸檬張開眼睛。發現是里奧,她緊緊抱住爸爸,一副被嚇壞的樣子,顫抖的聲音說:「爸比,對不起……!」387Please respect copyright.PENANAYtde2w3lrL
387Please respect copyright.PENANAKZF4i7kS5G
檸檬擅自離開房間,里奧沒有生氣,而是輕撫她的背,等檸檬的情緒穩定下來,才問:「妳遇到獅鷲了?」387Please respect copyright.PENANAfsEMOBOWXs
387Please respect copyright.PENANAYCFKVxKv2L
檸檬點頭。387Please respect copyright.PENANAe5ItMnqx27
387Please respect copyright.PENANAZobHEeSUQ1
「她弄傷了妳?」里奧再問。387Please respect copyright.PENANAmNcAntuAkg
387Please respect copyright.PENANAxxvo8xwTdX
「沒有。」檸檬搖頭,「她說我姓懷特,她不想傷害我,只把我打暈。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAQLWV7KLY9E
387Please respect copyright.PENANAMy2e5uAwn9
確實,大部分的第一代水果塔,都會念在阿道夫老師的恩情,對懷特禮遇有加,所以里奧沒有多想,就這麼相信檸檬的話。387Please respect copyright.PENANA20q6k3iHxG
387Please respect copyright.PENANAelLIrGeriX
「里奧。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAUGIZKEOg1r
387Please respect copyright.PENANA9gpIE67QBY
有人在叫他。里奧轉頭,看見傷痕累累、依舊行動自如的賴冰河,及前來與家人會合的賴梓威。賴梓威背著還在昏迷的賴梓柔。整個薩拉凱爾教,只剩他們三個倖存者。387Please respect copyright.PENANAgRjcxVNytn
387Please respect copyright.PENANA9p1f6qtpgc
「好久不見。」387Please respect copyright.PENANA906VBHeLqr
387Please respect copyright.PENANAkA0FUcuRC6
賴冰河是雪檸的兄長,里奧不會無視他,而是向他道謝。賴冰河對檸檬的照顧是發自內心,還是另有目的,賴冰河毫無疑問是前者,里奧看得出來。387Please respect copyright.PENANATUG3TJesQy
387Please respect copyright.PENANAEdE4BL91qf
「她是因為擔心我,才跑來這麼危險的地方,你不要罵她。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAOxkIslqBO0
387Please respect copyright.PENANALHycrDig9f
賴冰河竟然幫檸檬說話。他真的是好人──不只檸檬,頻道裡的羅笙也這麼說。387Please respect copyright.PENANAzFtMXDvQnM
387Please respect copyright.PENANAKsdJQTGkuj
「人沒事就好。」里奧看著殘破的黑教堂,惋惜表示:「發生這樣的事,我很遺憾。」387Please respect copyright.PENANA01YzBacM0T
387Please respect copyright.PENANA4th1WTXBR6
「神與畜事先不知道嗎?」賴冰河雖然痛心,該問清楚的還是要問:「小約翰的屍體在黑教堂,是你們先發現,還是Platinum?」387Please respect copyright.PENANAp1u1PZNQ1r
387Please respect copyright.PENANABg2Kdyfp1U
聽到這個問題,檸檬的表情很心虛,但她被里奧抱在懷裡,沒有人看見。387Please respect copyright.PENANAAQfL1LVqRB
387Please respect copyright.PENANAzbpptkWX7b
「最早發現屍體不見的,確實是宇維,他也懷疑過你們;但考量到雪檸,他不想把事情鬧大。」里奧的表情完全沒變,用平常的口氣說:「如果真是你們偷的,至少能私下警告賴霜原,把屍體還回去。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAZx0nC9q6eO
387Please respect copyright.PENANAbMnMuqa0j1
賴冰河握拳,憤恨地問:「Platinum又為什麼知道?」387Please respect copyright.PENANAem44bQF1kx
387Please respect copyright.PENANA9vp9FUz3P6
「……不清楚。」里奧搖頭,「四年前,自從史密斯馬戲團想偷第一代的屍體,白絃變得很敏感;只要被她抓到蛛絲馬跡,靠金允道和白石墨的技術,沒有他們查不到的事。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAIaDOTwnOgp
387Please respect copyright.PENANAsFwI8J3p1k
「……。」387Please respect copyright.PENANACMV8UUytXD
387Please respect copyright.PENANAJm5xykbHbY
「記得謝照顏的下場嗎?」里奧又說:「十大家族現在的敵人,早就不是神與畜,是那個女人。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAyob4RFhITp
387Please respect copyright.PENANA6A2vsrneaW
虛實參半的謊言。里奧才剛說完,檸檬的頻道就傳來羅笙的聲音。387Please respect copyright.PENANAVgaiVEHiMs
387Please respect copyright.PENANApJT2Y0UdMZ
「不愧是父女,妳跟里奧都很會騙人。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAlK1QlfzT3A
387Please respect copyright.PENANA6sSmZjzA9B
羅笙不在,檸檬能想像他不以為然的表情。387Please respect copyright.PENANAbqMqkTV0rl
387Please respect copyright.PENANASv1cJSZuxR
「讓妳發現小約翰的屍體,絕對是瘋帽設計好的。他們知道我姊姊會發飆,才想借刀殺人,利用姊姊處理掉薩拉凱爾。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAMYpRyq4rhZ
387Please respect copyright.PENANADm3nTBydaN
聽到羅笙的分析,檸檬反問:「你的意思是:宇維少爺早就知道小約翰在黑教堂?他憑什麼確定?」387Please respect copyright.PENANApVMJnNPItr
387Please respect copyright.PENANAK5KqkOf0nv
「我不知道。」羅笙說:「提到第一代,大家都說我姊姊和李仲翔恐怖,但就我Knight隊長的經歷,瘋帽毫不遜色。除了里奧,沒有人知道瘋帽在想什麼,這很麻煩。」387Please respect copyright.PENANANv24uKqtwh
387Please respect copyright.PENANAeQTdJJCHzu
確實,白絃和李仲翔雖然可怕,但知道他們在乎什麼,就能猜測他們的下一步;高宇維無法,他擅長在別人想不到的地方深謀遠慮,瘋帽的瘋癲之處就在這裡。387Please respect copyright.PENANAGHPAevdLhO
387Please respect copyright.PENANAOljcEkXMfp
「冰河叔叔,我們之後怎麼辦?」387Please respect copyright.PENANA00Ra1svkMR
387Please respect copyright.PENANAsBs5wRdeX7
賴梓威背著妹妹。里奧刻意不提賴梓柔的事,賴梓威也不打算跟賴冰河說。這次事件,賴梓柔參與到什麼程度、扮演什麼角色,他會私下問清楚,不會讓賴冰河知道。387Please respect copyright.PENANANFyn9N8PRe
387Please respect copyright.PENANAjOTFtX8Z3k
「Platinum不會讓世人知道真相,高宇維也不會。」387Please respect copyright.PENANABRMpNWZ15I
387Please respect copyright.PENANApobTz3rIrZ
雖然無奈,賴冰河還是得告訴賴梓威:「黑教堂這次,八成會被捏造成地震。全世界的薩拉凱爾教徒,一定會幫助我們三個倖存者,之後的事我反而不擔心。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAbcLWfpshjv
387Please respect copyright.PENANAdtZaVKr2HH
看著受傷的賴梓柔,賴冰河看向里奧,跟他確認:「我們不能去希波克拉底的醫院,是嗎?」387Please respect copyright.PENANAU3PIBBFt7w
387Please respect copyright.PENANA7ASWnEmTxE
里奧點頭,「善後的事我們會處理,包含你們的傷。」387Please respect copyright.PENANApFfa4Cvnna
387Please respect copyright.PENANAqrQwaLX4h8
賴冰河想說謝謝,卻說不出口,因為他救不回大家的命。現實令人難以接受,但賴梓威和賴梓柔都在,賴冰河不能逃避。他會繼承薩拉凱爾教,將一切整頓好、導回正軌,並等待沙利葉──改變世界的人出現。387Please respect copyright.PENANA6EnRwom6wm
387Please respect copyright.PENANAjKlTiUHLRE
「小舅舅……」387Please respect copyright.PENANAFUHa4elZKA
387Please respect copyright.PENANAg1wuMtNK1E
檸檬突然叫他。賴冰河知道,他的女兒賴梓綾,本質上已經死了,如今能被他稱作家人的,除了賴梓威兄妹,就只剩檸檬。387Please respect copyright.PENANAb2h66DkDNQ
387Please respect copyright.PENANAC6YlzrsyTo
「回去吧,孩子。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAonF3c5zeWk
387Please respect copyright.PENANAHp9QWgCdzy
賴冰河走到里奧面前,跟檸檬說:「這裡沒什麼好回憶,妳可以回家了。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAw1kmDnrVWm
387Please respect copyright.PENANAhVwfOvpOC4
「我……」387Please respect copyright.PENANAbPERvMFnKv
387Please respect copyright.PENANAN9a4IvFHKr
「要是哪天,妳想再喝一次無糖綠茶。」賴冰河伸手,摸摸檸檬的頭,「來D區,我會給妳準備一大罐。」387Please respect copyright.PENANANkK92iyFJR
387Please respect copyright.PENANAJ12RpNHGWe
語畢,賴冰河的手離開檸檬的頭。收到尼可拉斯的命令,Knight的醫療團隊終於抵達。賴冰河和賴梓威招呼一聲,三人跟著醫療團隊,離開滿目瘡痍的黑教堂。387Please respect copyright.PENANAoYUYvMVv5Z
387Please respect copyright.PENANASYrzpmzUHk
「我們也走吧。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAnHLPIuVuHb
387Please respect copyright.PENANA8sGB1MiCrW
收到李博洋的訊息、在北棟大門會合,里奧抱著檸檬,往賴冰河的反方向走去。看著小舅舅的背影,檸檬原本想說什麼,最後還是作罷,縮到里奧懷裡。387Please respect copyright.PENANAzoWAsIktGw
387Please respect copyright.PENANA5USM4VxIlj
「……爸比。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAqrUXxfThwM
387Please respect copyright.PENANAqGCor03RjW
「嗯?」387Please respect copyright.PENANAy3X2Wa9W7j
387Please respect copyright.PENANA6tWE4xvGKv
「這次任務結束,」檸檬抬頭,「我可以去旅行嗎?」387Please respect copyright.PENANAszJiBuqXqw
387Please respect copyright.PENANAcIfUJTslXF
里奧微愣,「妳一個人?」387Please respect copyright.PENANAAfR6ZPTlaL
387Please respect copyright.PENANAZno5pqFsjK
「嗯。」檸檬的聲音有氣無力,「發生很多事,我想一個人靜靜。」387Please respect copyright.PENANA91oFmXGJfk
387Please respect copyright.PENANA5D4gqySyMZ
「……。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAHkpknXkxq8
387Please respect copyright.PENANALSiIIUVlYB
以父親的立場,里奧當然不想答應,但看檸檬的眼神、表情,她受到不小打擊,確實需要休息。387Please respect copyright.PENANAKYeAJbMZH9
387Please respect copyright.PENANAcHbEsEEqZx
「我會跟宇維討論。」里奧說:「先睡吧,辛苦了。」387Please respect copyright.PENANATwl1we52Hv
387Please respect copyright.PENANA5AyoFMvZNf
「嗯……」387Please respect copyright.PENANAvj0oaMDFbt
387Please respect copyright.PENANAz5zewkJcfk
檸檬閉上眼睛,同時,頻道裡的羅笙說:「他沒有答應。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAr47thRxQ1S
387Please respect copyright.PENANA2AMOyM7EVN
「也沒有拒絕。」檸檬保證:「他一定會的。」387Please respect copyright.PENANArsS574Gvb5
387Please respect copyright.PENANAr8PN3G8nrb
羅笙不知道檸檬哪來的自信,但現階段,檸檬確實需要休息,所以他不跟檸檬爭論,直接離開頻道,檸檬也順利進入夢鄉。387Please respect copyright.PENANAgqxmDaPuMX

三天後,賴梓綾──小約翰來到高宇維的桃花林,發現樹下擺了張長桌。高宇維坐在一端,另一端的位子是空的,桌上有一壺紅茶,磚紅色的色澤,香氣四溢。387Please respect copyright.PENANAFNmyld7FAw
387Please respect copyright.PENANAL1PYxT4C7u
「真懷念。」387Please respect copyright.PENANANRYpcfOo9C
387Please respect copyright.PENANAFANM2D06aK
坐到高宇維為他準備的位子,小約翰念舊地說:「書蟲說,我們倆是『紅茶聯盟』,和他的『可樂共和國』是邦交國。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAA9CJDawUX6
387Please respect copyright.PENANAn0d3eL6z8b
「誰理他,我們早就斷交了。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAiecez3K301
387Please respect copyright.PENANA0BblXPVMUS
高宇維不以為然地說。小約翰輕輕笑著,聲音像春天的小鳥。387Please respect copyright.PENANA0D746ZDfW1
387Please respect copyright.PENANADJDKGYJ54H
老朋友見面,還是這麼熟的朋友,高宇維今天心情不錯。雖然外表變了,但能說出「紅茶聯盟」的人,只有他的紅茶好夥伴。387Please respect copyright.PENANAYubCxU8ZMC
387Please respect copyright.PENANAELGQOGgMbX
「你見過艾莉絲了?」高宇維問,給自己倒了一杯。387Please respect copyright.PENANAAUDIE1cCEj
387Please respect copyright.PENANAIZkZszziim
「嗯,昨天去了。」小約翰回答:「畢竟第一次見面,沒有好好打招呼。」387Please respect copyright.PENANA1AyRCpxgll
387Please respect copyright.PENANA4LfktLlNF7
李晴煬四人偷溜去卡洛爾大廈,高宇維並不意外。紙包不住火,何況是年輕人的好奇心。387Please respect copyright.PENANAuur7ilR8b1
387Please respect copyright.PENANAlPKM27FTav
「說起來,『艾莉絲』真是不可思議。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAWeOAgUkTaN
387Please respect copyright.PENANAkBHgXVgpYk
兩手捧著茶杯,小約翰回想這兩次見面的差異,有感而發。387Please respect copyright.PENANAEn4X1DIkwl
387Please respect copyright.PENANA5kEohvxN9H
「好像我們年輕時很流行的,那叫什麼……前世記憶?」387Please respect copyright.PENANA3MlgJQeSYN
387Please respect copyright.PENANAZVcWgBFGwS
「她本來就有夏悠的記憶,只是沒有夏悠的感情。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAI21Z5YSNv0
387Please respect copyright.PENANA7UN4SFX8Rc
高宇維一邊玩茶杯上的水珠,一邊跟小約翰解釋。387Please respect copyright.PENANAXIWSnDEqb0
387Please respect copyright.PENANAFx0HGw51XO
「就像看電影,你認得主角,知道故事在演什麼,但你是觀眾,不管電影怎麼演,都沒你的事。」高宇維說:「現在不一樣了。她想起自己是主角,電影的生離死別、喜怒哀樂,都是她的人生,從她對我們的稱呼就知道。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAfHAYfrMz2A
387Please respect copyright.PENANAsulyUk9uhK
「不過,」小約翰歪頭,「她這一世的記憶,沒有消失吧?」387Please respect copyright.PENANAmeJ3ZoaBQU
387Please respect copyright.PENANAZcWPXtrdwR
「都還在,『艾莉絲』的記憶像積木,一層層堆疊。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAtAqxyzb4H3
387Please respect copyright.PENANAlNgvAuBnnm
高宇維手掌交疊,做了個疊疊樂的手勢。387Please respect copyright.PENANA0vLIs9SJbo
387Please respect copyright.PENANAOEtzJLZqyO
「我利用地震,讓她的情感和記憶、一層層疊起來,就是這樣。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAapOUtPCmEn
387Please respect copyright.PENANABVICI8Xn9R
「原來如此。」小約翰提出關鍵:「所以現在,那兩人不是『獅鷲』和『紅心傑克』,是她的『系兒』和『仲翔』。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAFVTlb6tfsd
387Please respect copyright.PENANAa5STbNl3wL
「反過來也是。」高宇維吃著配茶用的小餅乾,「接下來,利用他們三人的共鳴,我的計畫就能成功。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAKWzg3kj07a
387Please respect copyright.PENANAXOjb4ycdZb
「真不愧是瘋帽,你好聰明。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAmA3PNMY4yp
387Please respect copyright.PENANAuBW9e0WQpk
小約翰微笑。在桃花林裡,白色的她像童話故事的公主,行為舉止和一般女孩無異。高宇維見怪不怪,反正他記憶裡的小約翰,長相個性都不像男孩,這副模樣比較自在。387Please respect copyright.PENANAHJTJNrAYus
387Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8DQxAGe5q
「瘋帽,我能問你一件事嗎?」387Please respect copyright.PENANA2hS2MleA9e
387Please respect copyright.PENANAVOAXETLjEq
放下茶杯,小約翰雙手交疊,端莊地放在大腿上。淡粉色的眼裡滿是笑意,他問高宇維:387Please respect copyright.PENANAx94aawu6Aa
387Please respect copyright.PENANAC0euAVNjZU
「我的身體,是你偷走的吧?」387Please respect copyright.PENANAqP9U8VbGLD
387Please respect copyright.PENANAia4IDfuJPp
「……。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAHQjQ2wc1K8
387Please respect copyright.PENANAlxB68s3CA7
「聽說,攝影錄像沒拍到人,我的身體瞬間消失。」小約翰瞇眼,「雖然很奇怪,但如果能把時間暫停,這一點也不難,不是嗎?」387Please respect copyright.PENANAwlVopHfkwD
387Please respect copyright.PENANAjwCigOVpXn
「……。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAmqvIxwvqXU
387Please respect copyright.PENANAt6e2eO2lbz
高宇維沒有說話,灰色的眼睛盯著小約翰,兩人的氣氛也從悠閒,變成詭譎的對峙。387Please respect copyright.PENANAmvYHal6eWH
387Please respect copyright.PENANAJuObcIxYRB
「把我的身體送給薩拉凱爾,利用安琪.懷特交換賴梓綾,再讓安琪發現我的身體,消息傳給Platinum。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAq4RquYhqok
387Please respect copyright.PENANAkg0FhRd0iG
小約翰很冷靜,好像在說別人的故事,娓娓道來。387Please respect copyright.PENANATyMl1H29Mx
387Please respect copyright.PENANAKod3Zu6MTf
「你知道獅鷲不會坐視不管,她會親自處理,結果是──賴梓綾到手、安琪平安回來、薩拉凱爾教滅亡、夏悠被你喚醒、仲翔奪走晴煬的身體。」小約翰拍手,「瘋帽,你真的很聰明,這次是你贏了。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAsLwLZwf35A
387Please respect copyright.PENANAHmkxEDecty
「……。」387Please respect copyright.PENANA5MkRM5LdlR
387Please respect copyright.PENANAOffu7w6Kxg
喝完一壺紅茶,時鐘「滴答!滴答!」一響,茶壺的紅茶全部回來,高宇維又給自己倒了一杯。387Please respect copyright.PENANAVfMwSclC1n
387Please respect copyright.PENANAS4rfMLQi0s
「最後一個沒有。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAMf9xTKukeQ
387Please respect copyright.PENANAGuxVNc3jZV
他終於開口,間接承認:「晴煬把身體搶了回來,我也不知道原因。」387Please respect copyright.PENANA50VqRZQCVf
387Please respect copyright.PENANAvrB74ayf8D
「呵。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAPWoH6KUPUF
387Please respect copyright.PENANACgZUfeHSNU
小約翰沒有生氣。人們說他善良,但在某些時刻,他的好脾氣反而弔詭,比如現在。387Please respect copyright.PENANAO1KV9QUV68
387Please respect copyright.PENANA0MTeBvfzmf
「作為報復,仲翔的事,我不會幫你喔。」小約翰聲名。387Please respect copyright.PENANAHl4z2WvXlm
387Please respect copyright.PENANACHJn6TQis8
「打從一開始,你就不想幫吧?」387Please respect copyright.PENANAxYVoDZAmXl
387Please respect copyright.PENANADYUbtqfRfT
高宇維冷笑。他了解紅茶,也了解這位紅茶夥伴。387Please respect copyright.PENANAKb9I7bZEG4
387Please respect copyright.PENANAjqjcxF3yNk
「仲翔會哭死。」高宇維反諷:「他這麼愛你。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAN5pkCCscs8
387Please respect copyright.PENANAyN1kIouS3R
「錯了,不是他愛我,是我很愛他,仲翔不會介意的。」387Please respect copyright.PENANASIDYHW7Trq
387Please respect copyright.PENANAosEicpTlxX
小約翰端起茶杯,幸福一笑。387Please respect copyright.PENANAxISDruy12i
387Please respect copyright.PENANAA7RMnDJg0O
「『只有你可以這麼做。』我滿足他被愛的渴望,所以我能對他做任何事,仲翔一定可以理解。」小約翰又說:「我挺喜歡晴煬。他可以保護我,我對現狀感到滿足,仲翔不需要回來。」387Please respect copyright.PENANANF7ONmnITz
387Please respect copyright.PENANA0AmpDG0cDv
「……。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAdvCdcZxd3y
387Please respect copyright.PENANAB1v5MgI6Mf
假如,高宇維跟陌生人介紹小約翰,他一定會說「他很善良」,這點千真萬確;但如果要第二句,高宇維會說「他很膽小」。除了用堅硬的水晶保護自己,小約翰擅長依附他人,依賴性很強。當年之所以受洗,也是相信神會保護自己。387Please respect copyright.PENANAjYWFmKBOWx
387Please respect copyright.PENANAv8egQCuS9A
一百年前,他的依附對象是李仲翔;一百年後,他遇見了李晴煬。既然李晴煬能保護他,自己對現狀感到滿足,李仲翔不回來也罷。小約翰活在自我滿足的價值觀,高宇維知道這點,所以他不反駁,只是警告:387Please respect copyright.PENANAtmIZRkFHFb
387Please respect copyright.PENANAsaWy69fEfQ
「別給我添亂,其它我沒意見。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAZbSI9DPk8g
387Please respect copyright.PENANALPCslFSmTC
「謝謝,你果然是明理的人,瘋帽。」387Please respect copyright.PENANA9LknhrcL6E
387Please respect copyright.PENANA1bD3P02IOI
跟老朋友喝茶,也把事情說清楚,小約翰覺得今天值得紀念。既不與世界為伍,也不與自己為敵。小約翰深信:只要緩慢、堅定向前,他的人生將獨特且真實,自己也會成為最幸福、也最幸運的人。387Please respect copyright.PENANAHoqlylJ1ik
387Please respect copyright.PENANAf9YTalFjMO
「之後呢?」高宇維問小約翰:「你打算怎麼做?」387Please respect copyright.PENANAHrI9SUFEGh
387Please respect copyright.PENANAVyrNTTSRB8
「當你的手下,以『賴梓綾』的身分活下去。」小約翰表示:「我想連同她的份,一起活下去。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAJppEedNuEn
387Please respect copyright.PENANACbNW6jHhi0
高宇維聳肩,懶得聽這些漂亮話。387Please respect copyright.PENANAfpqn18RNN0
387Please respect copyright.PENANAsUIO7utOxu
387Please respect copyright.PENANAU4WRaKFyFh
「神與畜第六幹部──賴梓綾。」387Please respect copyright.PENANAJnRHriArQa
387Please respect copyright.PENANA6gSiECnjUn
387Please respect copyright.PENANAfZWZDzgRaH
如本人所願,高宇維用上位者的口氣叫她,並問:「稱呼呢?」387Please respect copyright.PENANAZoOPOBn4v2
387Please respect copyright.PENANAcXealgXD6y
「沒問題。」387Please respect copyright.PENANA8uIJavLBCa
387Please respect copyright.PENANAV3da5thGSd
小約翰──賴梓綾離開位子,單膝跪在高宇維的椅子旁。她以心為基礎,期許自己是道暖暖的光;堅信總有一天,他會站在最亮的地方,成為自己渴望的模樣。387Please respect copyright.PENANAK9lcNzHeFe
