2157年6月25日,凌晨一點,商業中心B區733Please respect copyright.PENANAgRcPCaqjIK
733Please respect copyright.PENANAn3uH83gD9j
733Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ly9I75ndE
手裡捧著白色的綿羊布偶,MIO穿著紅色的和服,頭髮夾著櫻花造型的髮夾。在她眼裡,這裡不是都市,也不是馬路旁的人行道,而是一條通往神社的表參道,燈火從燈籠裡滲了出來,樹葉都被燈光染成橘黃色。733Please respect copyright.PENANAaoarQ5gUAa
733Please respect copyright.PENANAf3rKWeQNW4
「……。」733Please respect copyright.PENANAWX8tzhYDSX
733Please respect copyright.PENANAIjgt7TLhsO
結束和尼可拉斯的對話,MIO就一直維持這樣的狀態,從晚上六點走到凌晨一點,過程不吃不喝不休息。一個小孩走在深夜的街道,總歸還是危險的,但MIO不在意。733Please respect copyright.PENANASWw2DPxHEU
733Please respect copyright.PENANAMnmgO1EQLN
她雙眼半開,雖然在走路,漆黑的眼珠卻沒有聚焦。如果李博洋在就好了──可惜,李博洋這幾天不在,MIO少了能幫她解答疑惑的夥伴。733Please respect copyright.PENANAWE5z2uN1EJ
733Please respect copyright.PENANA8adoN8IQf5
不知不覺走出市中心,MIO來到被歸類為都市更新區的地方。灰黑色的建材、施工用的大型機械,雖然有幾棟新大樓,但多數地方還在施工,荒涼到像發生大爆炸──死了所有人,物品卻完好如初。733Please respect copyright.PENANAsyoQ7MexdM
733Please respect copyright.PENANAfp6cETgIpl
無視危險警告,MIO走到還在施工的大樓。這座大樓只架了銀灰色的鋼筋,沒有地板牆壁。她坐到一疊木板上,兩腳懸空。月光從銀灰色的鋼筋間灑下來,地上卻沒有MIO的影子。733Please respect copyright.PENANAhXnmYLVAgG
733Please respect copyright.PENANAUKkuNBBlQ3
「哪,咩咩。」733Please respect copyright.PENANASxilPf7hqW
733Please respect copyright.PENANATbLfqf9BMP
她摸了摸手裡的綿羊娃娃,看著天空說:733Please respect copyright.PENANApw2TIY7Rcp
733Please respect copyright.PENANAPvodFAw6P6
「我啊,是因為博洋,才加入神與畜的喔。」733Please respect copyright.PENANAtv42MZPNxp
733Please respect copyright.PENANA32HdaROcax
停頓三秒,她好像聽見什麼,低下頭,對綿羊娃娃說:733Please respect copyright.PENANAMqPzBwX22F
733Please respect copyright.PENANACXMCIWoiJq
733Please respect copyright.PENANAg3kPZ1wX3q
「為什麼?還用問嗎?因為博洋幫我取了『MIO』這個名字。」733Please respect copyright.PENANA7WKQ6vgKkT
733Please respect copyright.PENANAvYgxcuzvU6
「每個生物都需要名字,因為名字,我才得以存在。」733Please respect copyright.PENANASidScRSg5W
733Please respect copyright.PENANAN2PUumbrKS
733Please respect copyright.PENANAzi2mmUp8Oz
她緊緊抱住綿羊娃娃。733Please respect copyright.PENANAKJkOKmt44v
733Please respect copyright.PENANAe9UDsRfSsn
「但是,為什麼呢?」733Please respect copyright.PENANAose5irZYbP
733Please respect copyright.PENANAdPlFRDfaku
她閉上眼睛。晚風拂過她的臉頰,夾雜一點砂石的味道。733Please respect copyright.PENANAoHpcm4WNMR
733Please respect copyright.PENANAe26DvvB1hs
「鏡子照不出我,陽光做不出我的影子……為什麼?我到底是什麼?我什麼也不記得,然後,博洋出現了。」733Please respect copyright.PENANAaF4X63YABZ
733Please respect copyright.PENANAeTY21CJiRa
她揚起幸福的笑容。733Please respect copyright.PENANAb8yUnyK9Ba
733Please respect copyright.PENANA5IjgmReCfv
「博洋說,我是三途川,連結著彼岸與此岸,所以『澪(みお,MIO)』誕生了。我喜歡這個名字,聽說,漢字是『水路』的意思。」733Please respect copyright.PENANABird0244Jw
733Please respect copyright.PENANAZGO34WL7Tb
她睜開眼睛,手順著綿羊娃娃柔軟的毛,好像在幫一個女孩梳頭髮。733Please respect copyright.PENANAhUJbPBzWC0
733Please respect copyright.PENANAVzmXhI8Y8k
「因為名字,我才得以存在;因為博洋,我才成為『MIO』,不是嗎?」733Please respect copyright.PENANAIow6wrY1gC
733Please respect copyright.PENANAG1tFrJZIBU
「……。」733Please respect copyright.PENANAyA4KlDMPEA
733Please respect copyright.PENANA0Z4B1qljkU
聽著綿羊娃娃的回答,她臉上的笑容漸漸消失。她把綿羊娃娃放到旁邊,自己從木板堆上跳下來,轉過來說:733Please respect copyright.PENANAV74qC6DHUg
733Please respect copyright.PENANAeZmA8b2DCP
733Please respect copyright.PENANAAOy9L4rey8
「宇維少爺說,他和媽媽是朋友、都是第一代水果塔,所以我聽宇維少爺的話──我一直都這麼想。」733Please respect copyright.PENANA1gRScmcCcU
733Please respect copyright.PENANAlCrUJFpBGg
「可是,現在的我,正以『MIO』存在於世……哪個應該放在前面?是『MIO』,還是『宇維少爺』?」733Please respect copyright.PENANAvRb1hdTzy8
733Please respect copyright.PENANAMRKEAaY3ZH
733Please respect copyright.PENANAIccA1Pvfrk
空氣一片沉默。如果剛才的人行道是表參道,那麼,這棟施工大樓在她眼裡,就是一座神社。紅色的風車轉呀轉、轉呀轉──本殿裡空無一物,沒有神明。733Please respect copyright.PENANAe2bjBbJI0q
733Please respect copyright.PENANAR974xHMLW7
「我們應該供奉誰呢?」733Please respect copyright.PENANAbFV67ZVNLU
733Please respect copyright.PENANAZMVfQ32KFC
她盯著綿羊娃娃黑色的眼睛。733Please respect copyright.PENANA34MfoEz4kJ
733Please respect copyright.PENANAMQTAVOn1d7
「我呢,不知道要供奉『MIO』,還是『宇維少爺』;尼可不知道要供奉『葛蕾絲』,還是『宇維少爺』;再過不久,晴煬也會開始掙扎,要供奉『謝綠』還是『宇維少爺』。」733Please respect copyright.PENANAx7kBGj4FaD
733Please respect copyright.PENANAoCaNq3k66i
抬起腳,她一邊說,一邊轉起圈來。順時針、逆時針、順時針、逆時針……紅色的袖子隨著她的動作,畫出一個又一個圓,就像風車。733Please respect copyright.PENANAA2i0ON3vck
733Please respect copyright.PENANAerO2TUp5D8
733Please respect copyright.PENANA8OUCLRMMWm
「人與人的關係是對等的,你沒辦法要求一個人永遠效忠你,除非──你付出夠多,讓他覺得自己一輩子欠你。」733Please respect copyright.PENANA89eHrDYw3m
733Please respect copyright.PENANA2RIteWSMgd
「因為救過一命,這樣就夠了嗎?因為第一代水果塔,這樣就夠了嗎?總有一天,晴煬和尼可的忠誠會消褪,宇維少爺將變成一種理所當然,被別的東西取代。」733Please respect copyright.PENANAXEjGP5x6Ec
733Please respect copyright.PENANAlnIKGqYc6F
733Please respect copyright.PENANApycDAPcada
她用長長的袖子遮住嘴巴,笑嘻嘻地說:733Please respect copyright.PENANAlaj9iYdROK
733Please respect copyright.PENANAZGx0zxsp2T
「沒辦法,他們剛加入,宇維少爺來不及對他們好──博洋呢?他又是怎麼看待宇維少爺?咩咩,你猜猜看。」733Please respect copyright.PENANAbgtB02kqTn
733Please respect copyright.PENANAEtJQUnQtfE
她從左邊走到右邊,再從右邊走到左邊,然後、毫無預警地,朝綿羊娃娃比了個叉叉。733Please respect copyright.PENANAOvrgxkAgaB
733Please respect copyright.PENANAyvMY2M1wQN
733Please respect copyright.PENANAIyuREKpFyX
「答錯了喔,咩咩。」733Please respect copyright.PENANATxBlg2CY1m
733Please respect copyright.PENANAVAjYAkNWnq
「博洋對宇維少爺的忠心是完全的──至少他自己這麼認為。」733Please respect copyright.PENANADPvXMzVlL8
733Please respect copyright.PENANApXZlfn4i83
733Please respect copyright.PENANA3fligXgbPS
因為比任何人都了解李博洋,她露出得意的微笑。733Please respect copyright.PENANAG0uypE4HQq
733Please respect copyright.PENANAPOHRwfzXkA
733Please respect copyright.PENANAYUmLj1unqA
「為什麼我知道?因為博洋和我交換,他對父親的思念與情感,存放在MIO這,我們正共享彼此的心智,很有趣吧?我能感覺到博洋的喜怒哀樂,知道他對宇維少爺的忠心不容置疑。明明只是交換,卻演變成這種關係,我自己也很意外。」733Please respect copyright.PENANALP049DgraI
733Please respect copyright.PENANAhWOHFr4CN0
733Please respect copyright.PENANA19versD1SD
她兩手放到身後,頭往後仰,兩眼凝視著深藍色的夜空。733Please respect copyright.PENANAOJhwGnvbbP
733Please respect copyright.PENANATob1uRoJMQ
「我們知道『博洋怎麼看待宇維少爺』了,現在,我們回到重點──我應該供奉誰呢?」733Please respect copyright.PENANALNvyvqnIZs
733Please respect copyright.PENANACumS9JAP05
語畢,她的神社出現兩座神主牌,一個寫著「MIO」,另一個寫著「高宇維」。733Please respect copyright.PENANAQetuKcUpB6
733Please respect copyright.PENANAPPRRI15hdK
「我啊,不是覺得宇維少爺不重要。我喜歡宇維少爺,也喜歡神與畜,但博洋賦予的『MIO』裡,需要效忠宇維少爺嗎?」733Please respect copyright.PENANAqHBLqS9qKM
733Please respect copyright.PENANAtT9uzKca8x
733Please respect copyright.PENANAUaUeWwrxI0
──哪一個要放到本殿?733Please respect copyright.PENANAktWKTlUuUS
733Please respect copyright.PENANAgfVlSigFKK
733Please respect copyright.PENANAkPxGSspHV4
「博洋所定義的『MIO』,怎麼看待宇維少爺的?」733Please respect copyright.PENANAmBTbtj92dw
733Please respect copyright.PENANALYz0Y1mVxW
733Please respect copyright.PENANAwfV9yZusWQ
──哪一個?733Please respect copyright.PENANAKHmvKwP4wp
733Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2QXjX0KUd
733Please respect copyright.PENANAsa5dS2CfL3
「『MIO』的本質,到底是什麼?」733Please respect copyright.PENANAucOyyQ90zx
733Please respect copyright.PENANA2g7Anoo9tU
733Please respect copyright.PENANAt74DenZsy9
──決定權不在她。733Please respect copyright.PENANARhpCBLkSYD
733Please respect copyright.PENANAOP7lIvfTQH
733Please respect copyright.PENANAXT2OHKdUnt
「我沒辦法回答……所以,博洋,來找我吧。」733Please respect copyright.PENANAmR2ygm2kZn
733Please respect copyright.PENANAmXRlsuWPsD
「只有你,才能定義『MIO』是什麼。」733Please respect copyright.PENANA3LNz1YKqyT
733Please respect copyright.PENANAX4UKCZ6AVy
733Please respect copyright.PENANAq4AfLHbmsg
突然,外面傳來警笛聲。兩名年約四十的成年男性跑進來、躲在陰暗的角落。兩名警察一邊吆喝、一邊從外邊跑過去,沒發現躲起來的兩名男子。733Please respect copyright.PENANAKfu0nDChJX
733Please respect copyright.PENANAGSbCof1zWE
「X的,終於甩掉他們了!」733Please respect copyright.PENANA6ttp1wQ7uj
733Please respect copyright.PENANAgAzEwcHCS4
確認警察走遠,其中一名男子開口,並在另一個人的臉上揍了一拳。733Please respect copyright.PENANAfNpBEbb3vb
733Please respect copyright.PENANAlOVV5eMAkv
「都你這窩囊廢!車子壞了,貨也只剩兩包,要我怎麼和上面交待!?」733Please respect copyright.PENANA2IxqQJG4BQ
733Please respect copyright.PENANAuN2q4E5Rj9
「X!我哪知有條子埋伏!你才他X亂下指令,少怪到我頭上!」733Please respect copyright.PENANA3bO3Vh2jdK
733Please respect copyright.PENANAk7XIRCwhBD
男子拿著兩包白色粉末。其中一名毒販瞄了一眼,大叫:「我操!怎麼會有小孩?」733Please respect copyright.PENANA7oSOxk8GJg
733Please respect copyright.PENANAreE48bqVsY
「小孩?」733Please respect copyright.PENANA31gwO4NJ6c
733Please respect copyright.PENANAhHnk8i5Ree
另一名毒販也回頭。廢墟裡,一個穿著紅色和服的小女孩,動也不動地站著,漆黑的眼睛凝望夜空,旁邊放著一隻綿羊娃娃,畫面十分詭異。733Please respect copyright.PENANA7sfMyWLHip
733Please respect copyright.PENANAEgO4BXCYa8
「這…這小孩是怎樣?吸太多,腦袋壞了?」733Please respect copyright.PENANAnDyYH1ugXc
733Please respect copyright.PENANAG2dTjhZQHq
「嘿!這不是很好嗎?我們掉了一堆貨,帶個漂亮小鬼回去,老大說不定能原諒我們。」733Please respect copyright.PENANAEr2Au7oMHz
733Please respect copyright.PENANA56DB48scJ8
兩名毒販動了邪念,正準備下手,一個能面面具突然出現在後方。下一秒,兩名毒販的脖子被砍斷,鮮血噴灑在白色的能面。能面空洞的眼睛對著MIO,然後,它緩緩消失。MIO還在她的神社,什麼也沒發現。733Please respect copyright.PENANA1VntEtZhkZ

「離家出走五天,果不其然又闖禍了啊,MIO。」733Please respect copyright.PENANAuRqXeYcGp3
733Please respect copyright.PENANAkz08jgZtP3
一百多具屍體堆疊在地,李博洋試著避開它們,但數量太多,困難重重,既然不管怎樣都會踩到,他索性放棄,踩著屍體走向MIO。733Please respect copyright.PENANA5lqCUMhowA
733Please respect copyright.PENANAzckfC5UmyK

「……。」733Please respect copyright.PENANAzYm2I8vx4M

MIO坐在木板堆上,兩手抱著膝蓋,整個人蜷在那裡,不說話。733Please respect copyright.PENANAb4oQFzpcZJ
733Please respect copyright.PENANArlclffznid
733Please respect copyright.PENANAjq4HTIPDvR

733Please respect copyright.PENANA8u4l58zYhC
MIO一直在她的神社。733Please respect copyright.PENANA0BuL5rU41H

「……沒有博洋賦予的『MIO』,什麼也不是。」733Please respect copyright.PENANAJnSyloLfQ6
733Please respect copyright.PENANAtSJhSt8F8r
聽到李博洋的聲音,MIO抬頭,可愛的臉蛋上有血跡。李博洋幫她把血擦掉,問:「發生什麼事了?」733Please respect copyright.PENANAw8VEPt2Mx6
733Please respect copyright.PENANAbXms7c8f35
「……。」733Please respect copyright.PENANAozHvfL5UHb
733Please respect copyright.PENANAt9gU2qmtaz
MIO放開雙腿、恢復成一般坐姿。木板堆大概到李博洋的腰,因此,坐在上面的MIO必須低頭,才能跟李博洋直視。733Please respect copyright.PENANAteitwMY49l
