放在正霖床邊的手機忽然開始震動,身體自然反應的他迅速翻身接起,語帶不爽的開口「喂?」這聲音夾帶著怒氣與口臭,看來他似乎有不小的起床氣。746Please respect copyright.PENANAx9hR0qCYfi
746Please respect copyright.PENANAgXF4QoPLy3
『喂!是我啦!』是赤元。746Please respect copyright.PENANATOPKVAW09f
746Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZDpS3ha97
「…怎麼了?」正霖坐起身子,慵懶的攤在床邊,望著躲在窗簾後方的微光發臭著。746Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ8Zn3leWC
746Please respect copyright.PENANATbI8qzpKaB
『那個…我的槍壞掉了。』這聲音聽起來很誠懇。746Please respect copyright.PENANAM5WNYPMfjh
746Please respect copyright.PENANAk1eDGFgeXH
「…」正霖一臉『干我屁事』,但基於交情甚深,還是禮貌性的發起牢騷「如果要我幫你修的話…下午再連絡就好啦…」746Please respect copyright.PENANAdbImTV08fu
746Please respect copyright.PENANAwYYAMFQC6v
『嗯…就是…我還想去買一把新槍和一些配件…所以…可以帶我去吧?』一向自High的赤元,此時卻異常的低姿態。746Please respect copyright.PENANAm85Qv9CJsT
746Please respect copyright.PENANAZqCEw489s0
「…」正霖無奈的搓揉太陽穴,整理著剛剛被上一個目標摧殘的腦袋。746Please respect copyright.PENANA7pnA4AyhOR
746Please respect copyright.PENANAUShvzROQBk
剛剛他在夢中所獵殺的是一位聲樂家,但天份是以負號計算,只是憑著『妄想』與『堅持』的態度死咬不放,持續努力到了三十歲,毫無收入,整天待在父母家裡唱歌…不…是鬼吼鬼叫…一直期待著有一位星探能經過自己家門將他挖掘出來。746Please respect copyright.PENANA5K6RD2B8TT
746Please respect copyright.PENANAYSqP0ND9P4
這一切很理所當然的,正霖讓他在夢中『叫』到聲嘶力竭,而且還刻意把他困在充滿回音的密閉室裡,好讓他聽一聽自己的『不協合音』…最後是精神衰竭導致暴斃死亡。746Please respect copyright.PENANAGWPCUJn94z
746Please respect copyright.PENANANM61zzzhxd
這種案例,造業有成,死的應該。746Please respect copyright.PENANADpVGGaj6r7
746Please respect copyright.PENANA1Wzo6liIAh
『可以嗎?』赤元問著,打了一個呵欠。746Please respect copyright.PENANA4mLy5Ce8rU
746Please respect copyright.PENANAERJZuvcR1f
「嗯…十一點火車站見,先一起去吃個飯。」語畢,隨即掛斷電話,睡回籠覺去。746Please respect copyright.PENANADwQasUIN7u
746Please respect copyright.PENANAa7UgNwrOyl
746Please respect copyright.PENANALvJ8Hs82zn
陽光直射,正霖戴著淡藍色的太陽眼鏡,穿著印有『Dream』青藍色字樣的白色T桖、黑色牛仔褲和黑色外套,腰上左右各藏著一把左輪和小太刀(註一),這些配備可以說是他對於武士道的基本堅持吧!746Please respect copyright.PENANAbopBFbMUGD
746Please respect copyright.PENANAj6ZgMGEcOH
在這烈日下,正霖一臉無奈的靠在車旁,看著眼前來來往往的人群,等待著赤元那蠢蠢的臉從車站裡盪出來,順便藉機曬著這供過於求的紫外線。746Please respect copyright.PENANAqErXx41QK2
746Please respect copyright.PENANAsiDz9w6Rkr
在這段期間,不時就有一兩對情侶走過眼前,偶爾還會有老婆婆等有年紀的長輩緩緩的晃過階梯,火車進進出出…閃光不斷…就是沒見到赤元的人影。746Please respect copyright.PENANAfSEeHDjNOR
746Please respect copyright.PENANAb0piCKE4oE
手機再次震動,正霖的右手掏了掏,將手機接起。746Please respect copyright.PENANAPzrsUJFxVx
746Please respect copyright.PENANA3d415oAjWK
「喂?」他按奈著情緒搔一搔臉頰,偶爾利用墨鏡內緣的反光窺視周圍的動靜。746Please respect copyright.PENANARxFzXL5j1P
746Please respect copyright.PENANAr1y48SQLOd
「喂!抱歉我遲到了,你就先去車站附近吃東西吧!到時候我再去找你,OK嗎?」赤元透過話筒傳來的電子音,背景滿滿的都是車站的吵雜聲,大概還沒搭上火車吧!746Please respect copyright.PENANAlSPWGvVht8
746Please respect copyright.PENANA023wNNuhmx
「嗯哼。」嘴角楊起無奈的笑容,眼角則是利用反光找到了一家熟悉的小吃店「那我在『白色角落』裡等你。」那裡是一家咖啡簡餐店。746Please respect copyright.PENANAfHfFupW0z7
746Please respect copyright.PENANAaBe56caLYd
「嗯,OK呀!那…掰掰!」赤元說完便掛斷了。746Please respect copyright.PENANAhI51gx09Yt
746Please respect copyright.PENANAitCrFqoTRF
正霖深吸一口氣,無奈的走向車站對面,進入那掛著『白色角落』招牌的店家後,找了一個好位置坐下,先點了餐,然後基於無聊而拿起一份報紙閱讀著。746Please respect copyright.PENANAjjxcT6Kqrg
746Please respect copyright.PENANAvY59KnhWbM
首先,頭版上的照片吸引住正霖的雙眼,上頭是一具焦屍的照片,現場似乎是在野地,馬賽克遍佈於整張照片,也許是過於灑狗血,他無暇心思多看一眼,接著看向標題──『夜遊驚見焦屍!鬼牌人再度犯案!?』,那『鬼牌人』字樣還用特大的紅色突顯出來。746Please respect copyright.PENANACE53AlmUmV
746Please respect copyright.PENANAq6oi1m3maJ
『鬼牌人…不是消失一年多了嗎?』正霖心想著,馬上被好奇心牽著往下看去。746Please respect copyright.PENANAOXEJ2mk9Rp
746Please respect copyright.PENANAHoQGWeo0ii
『兩年前不斷犯下幾百起兇殺案,且總是留下一張自製鬼牌的『鬼牌人』似乎又再度犯案,依警方的表示,犯案手法雖然不盡相同,但最後卻留下相同圖案的鬼牌,這是最大的特徵,先前警方依著這張鬼牌尋了好幾次線索,都毫無所獲,這鬼牌人究竟是何人?746Please respect copyright.PENANAwYqb9y3omN
746Please respect copyright.PENANAKIyKjuS58I
『這是一張很特別的鬼牌,材質相當特殊,連圖樣也找不出是哪間工廠印製,因此研判是兇手自製的鬼牌,且圖樣從未公開,所以可排除模仿犯的可能,而民眾是否將再次進入恐慌時期?這一切在事件明朗之前,只望警方能快速將兇手搜捕到案,這樣人民才有安全的夜晚。』746Please respect copyright.PENANAzhsaTDyQvo
746Please respect copyright.PENANAGSLmOj6GD6
正霖皺著眉頭看著,眼神不由自主的持續掃描「奇怪,這不是昨天我去打漆彈的地方嗎?」下意識的開始喃喃自語。746Please respect copyright.PENANA9oK63scZ4q
746Please respect copyright.PENANAmljFjTO1bS
『昨夜王姓大學生與許多友人為了試膽,在半夜前往他們所就讀大學附近的山區夜遊,中途有兩人忽然尿急,就在解放時驚見此屍,此具焦屍依身旁遺留的身分證進行初步判斷,應為同校的黃姓大學生,根據王同學的說法,當時他嚇到當場尿不出來,根本沒注意到什麼鬼牌跟鬼牌人是否在附近。746Please respect copyright.PENANA40a0XiUHVq
746Please respect copyright.PENANAULy5Ogfykf
『其實除了這一具受害者之外,昨夜還有一份包裹寄到了附近派出所,陳姓員警打開時驚見了一顆女性頭顱,受害者是黃姓受害者的妹妹,偶爾會到警局裡作義工,與警局內的一名警察似乎頗有交情,而她的軀體目前下落不明。746Please respect copyright.PENANA0g6LdQKgYw
746Please respect copyright.PENANAVon4j5eYJf
『包裹上無郵戳與郵票,懷疑送件人即是『鬼牌人』,而陳姓員警因為天色太暗加上送件人戴著黑色棒球帽,無法判別長相,但依聲音可判斷為男性,且穿著黑色外套、褲子,還駕駛著黑色重機,但基於採訪過程中警方禁止媒體拍攝,所以更為深入的狀況請待本報更進一步採訪。』746Please respect copyright.PENANAV82N1MK84V
746Please respect copyright.PENANA6LYYQIzHSh
「嘿!」一副撲克牌忽然『啪!』一聲的摔在桌上,正霖一抬頭,就見到赤元笑笑的坐下。746Please respect copyright.PENANAM1e82rGs8V
746Please respect copyright.PENANABs5KNZwru2
「這麼快唷?」微微一笑,輕輕的將報紙放下「東西有帶吧?」746Please respect copyright.PENANA65CIpcMwyl
746Please respect copyright.PENANAzPLkKn0gsv
「有呀!你吃完了嗎?」赤元拿著菜單,右手頂著下巴,食指放在嘴前沉思。746Please respect copyright.PENANA8Z61daT6Th
746Please respect copyright.PENANAaE0Urv2w7R
「還沒…你帶撲克牌來幹嘛?」正霖好奇的把撲克牌拿起來看一看,是在台灣很少見的職業牌類『BICYCLE(註二)』。746Please respect copyright.PENANAACg5EP0Lo1
746Please respect copyright.PENANAFzF0QvrmCy
「這家店上菜都很慢,所以來消遣一下…在看報紙呀!」他伸手拿走了報紙,翻了翻「鬼牌人呀…就是警察一直抓不到的人吧!頭號通緝犯呢…」746Please respect copyright.PENANAgoHsXdnOKm
746Please respect copyright.PENANA9syjPYR1iI
「嗯,大概是崇拜犯罪的傢伙吧!妄想著出名的人在這世界上多的是,像『殺手(註三)』裡的『貓胎人(註四)』一樣,只是心底的陰影和受到媒體的影響,妄想『特別』,所以最後走上了不歸路,我覺得這種『儀式性犯罪』的兇手就跟活在自己幻想中的笨蛋一樣!」我喝了一口服務生端來的檸檬水。746Please respect copyright.PENANA7QGeJ1Tzxd
746Please respect copyright.PENANAhGRN9E7lpf
「呵呵!那個小說我有看。」赤元點好菜後也喝了一口檸檬水。746Please respect copyright.PENANAyRQVWi4f06
746Please respect copyright.PENANAOx7qkkJa0M
「這不是重點吧?」某方面來說,正霖還頗欣賞赤元的幽默。746Please respect copyright.PENANAxo0ajwybmn
746Please respect copyright.PENANAwXKLPNr0wf
「好啦!你的飯來了。」他收回自己的牌,整理一下後放在一邊。746Please respect copyright.PENANAndqSi16Kq6
746Please respect copyright.PENANAtVnCLS3lKA
正霖淺淺一笑後,雙手合十,唸著日文的『我要開動了。』作為開飯語。746Please respect copyright.PENANAzVl4XkiV0F
746Please respect copyright.PENANAzSDqKXHFeF
由這一點來看,可以說他相當的崇日,也因此他對於日本文化可是相當的了解。746Please respect copyright.PENANAl2POJjJlRu
746Please respect copyright.PENANAJG9LKWgvat
赤元在等飯的這段時間,不斷的把玩撲克牌,偶爾還拿起胡椒罐、衛生紙、橡皮筋等小玩意兒做些令人匪夷所思的動作,他說這是在練習魔術。746Please respect copyright.PENANAAPYFccK68v
746Please respect copyright.PENANAmZ9nLWW1wr
說到赤元,他是正霖國中時認識的朋友,在得知正霖有接觸槍械、武士刀等東西後,不斷的與他討論些有的沒有的,最後成為了好朋友,也更進一步的了解這些秘密的部分,接著…也踏入了『漆彈』的不歸路。746Please respect copyright.PENANAAqV95uwfj2
746Please respect copyright.PENANAubnrWQ1w1R
他會變魔術是在讀高中時學會的,變的還不錯,正霖也只是默默的看著他無數次的表演,赤元就是這樣,生性樂觀、想像力豐富、什麼都願意學(除了英文和社會科)、好奇心很重。746Please respect copyright.PENANAiMEai1fqBu
746Please respect copyright.PENANAzfqeLX825z
赤元會想買武士刀和槍械的開端,大概是因為難得遇見了懂門路的人,也想要做各種嘗試的關係!?也許是不甘平凡,總是想讓自己特別…天曉得呢?就這方面來說,赤元也跟『貓胎人』有不謀而合之處。746Please respect copyright.PENANADwpYxE5yg8
746Please respect copyright.PENANAK2U6FP6qLG
此時一位服務生端了兩份午餐過來,赤元轉頭「終於來啦!」他不亦樂乎拿起叉子,在含了一口飯後接著說「等等吃完飯變一個新魔術給你看!」746Please respect copyright.PENANAsF4Xo9gkQN
746Please respect copyright.PENANAiqfe8ToVCY
「嗯哼!」正霖安靜的嚼著牛肉,右手拿著叉子刺著紅蘿蔔。746Please respect copyright.PENANAaFzzGa4Qvq
746Please respect copyright.PENANASC4wyfuA5W
也許是不甘於沉默,赤元飛快的吃完午餐,然後變了一個蠻不舒服的魔術,他先用衛生紙把叉子擦乾淨,然後突然拿起叉子刺向自己的左眼,白色的液體從蓋住眼睛的左手潺潺流出…這個嘛…正霖也只能傻眼的看著個這魔術。746Please respect copyright.PENANAZmsWWbxxPa
746Please respect copyright.PENANA7EbMudBTyK
「怎麼了?不喜歡呀!很炫耶…」赤元笑嘻嘻的拿起衛生紙清理臉上的奶精。746Please respect copyright.PENANAqkGm3pwENO
746Please respect copyright.PENANAOLrcxGu5yv
「沒有啊!很不錯啊!眼睛沒事很厲害耶!」正霖呵呵笑的喝完玉米濃湯「好了!走吧!」語畢後接著起身,赤元也拿起外套、槍袋和背包,稍微拉一下衣服後,兩人各付了各自的錢便離開了。746Please respect copyright.PENANA77eQiOBiOp
746Please respect copyright.PENANAeoASw9IePF
「那家店應該還沒倒閉吧!?」赤元小心翼翼的問著。746Please respect copyright.PENANAKwwKaBLYyY
746Please respect copyright.PENANAYPNFZU8zyJ
746Please respect copyright.PENANAuWRMra6Eu9
註一:是較短的武士刀類,通常與『太刀』為一組鑄造,多為防禦之用,攜帶較為方便也是它的特性746Please respect copyright.PENANAR0qOLHKp0H
