一行人回到萬事屋。萌理佳還沒進門就看到靠近門口的藤椅上掛著一雙腳。那個奇怪的中年男子躺臥在藤椅上一動也不動,顯然暫時失去了意識。321Please respect copyright.PENANAvgxlhIS5iX
321Please respect copyright.PENANAsXARxq0NcJ
「怎麼了?」321Please respect copyright.PENANAh20C5lyjcC
321Please respect copyright.PENANAMAyjPQCO1o
萌理佳感覺一股溫暖拍上頭頂,一回頭,絳雉的臉近在咫尺。剛剛萌理佳驚恐的神情他看得一清二楚。321Please respect copyright.PENANAkVqtAqFQIG
321Please respect copyright.PENANAfG6NxfjNXG
玄鶚從另一邊經過,抽走少女抱在胸前的傳單。321Please respect copyright.PENANAW1ie3ziD80
321Please respect copyright.PENANAl6ifTBiDCo
「被羽扇打過以後這種靈會恢復一點理智吶。」他說,接著露出惡作劇般的笑容:「妳看,他果然還『活著』吧!」321Please respect copyright.PENANAjIs5giuW1X
321Please respect copyright.PENANASc7T1MPiG2
被那種擊散靈魂的氣勢迎面揮扇,任誰都會以為對方魂飛魄散了吧!萌理佳心有餘悸。321Please respect copyright.PENANAESqHARnOoi
321Please respect copyright.PENANApo5SR5Ctcl
大叔幽靈在幾分鐘後坐了起來。毫無預警地,像是背後不是藤椅而是燒得滾燙的鐵板那樣忽然彈起身子。321Please respect copyright.PENANA8EiI3tnT7v
321Please respect copyright.PENANAC1iVlWwYj6
「呀啊!」因為害怕而一直以餘光留意那個方向的少女驚叫出聲。321Please respect copyright.PENANAbSuPAo7a6t
321Please respect copyright.PENANAsNnFMaTt6p
「醒了?嘛,比想像中睡得要久。看來這扇揮得頗大力呀。」玄鶚戲謔道。321Please respect copyright.PENANA34D9HLcKbm
321Please respect copyright.PENANAjcwctxYCba
絳雉睨了他一眼,接著望向眼神驚懼的大叔。321Please respect copyright.PENANAot2ppVnFcE
321Please respect copyright.PENANAIx0hgAXWit
他正不知所措的東張西望,完全搞不清楚自己怎麼會來到這種古色古香的詭異場所……不過看那神經質的樣子,萬事屋的所有人一致覺得對方沒辦法想那麼多,純粹只為自己忽然來到陌生的地方感到侷促不安。321Please respect copyright.PENANABTvKfMF34H
321Please respect copyright.PENANAjef0nc7QQI
「這是哪裡?」大叔總算將視線聚焦到佇立於黑色畫作前方的絳雉身上。321Please respect copyright.PENANA044Tm8mngB
321Please respect copyright.PENANA1T2R4l4NmM
至於為何不看玄鶚或萌理佳?少女猜想應該只是脖子沒辦法轉動超過一百八十度的緣故。從大叔進到萬事屋以來,萌理佳就完全不靠近接待區,盡可能待在餐桌旁的角落。而玄鶚則坐在對角處,面對著接待區的位置磨墨寫字。321Please respect copyright.PENANA52H7fgQs66
321Please respect copyright.PENANATYCJiiQqtO
搞清楚萬事屋的來歷後,大叔沉重地將臉埋入雙手。321Please respect copyright.PENANAH7vqj4ukLb
321Please respect copyright.PENANARXdLYQ2My4
「原來如此……原來如此……我已經到了該回去的時候了嗎……已經永遠找不到我的寶貝了……」321Please respect copyright.PENANAZBP8hiSyl1
321Please respect copyright.PENANAaQTGIBsoyy
「不,我也沒那樣說。萬事屋主要協助迷失的幽靈排除執念。」321Please respect copyright.PENANAkTfNGlRRd9
321Please respect copyright.PENANAAcOGgJb8vj
大叔抬起臉,失焦的目光彷彿穿透過站在眼前的白色少年。倏地,混濁的虹膜像是逃避什麼似的拉開。321Please respect copyright.PENANARQMHTFe9gz
321Please respect copyright.PENANATYX1hUlSzc
「執念……我懂了。也就是說,你們能幫我找到嗎?是這樣嗎?」321Please respect copyright.PENANAFLGyB4xcpr
321Please respect copyright.PENANAsw0maktLiP
「不一定吶!萬事屋一直是盡全力幫助眾多幽靈,但要是您一直都不告訴我們相關情報的話,萬事屋還是什麼都做不了的。」玄鶚溫和的笑著,卻與絳雉一樣什麼都沒看漏。321Please respect copyright.PENANA9kMIMhcc9v
321Please respect copyright.PENANAVZNjVbgxVd
「我……在找一個人。他躲起來了,那個傢伙……」321Please respect copyright.PENANAoKh1FGeN58
321Please respect copyright.PENANAAauvm4iiZ4
不斷徘徊在暗巷、垃圾子車、公寓與產業道路旁的大叔幽靈如是說道。原本底氣不足的語氣漸漸變得急躁。321Please respect copyright.PENANAahVsKPWjDg
321Please respect copyright.PENANA6l8wic0bDf
「他帶走了她!我幼小可憐的孩子啊!我一定要找到被他帶走的我幼小的女兒……那個男人把她分成好幾塊!從我身邊奪走了!」321Please respect copyright.PENANA8IVGxwXAii
321Please respect copyright.PENANAbNKe9ZKDEC
憤恨的情緒使大叔咬緊的牙根喀喀打顫。這股爆炸性的戾氣使萬事屋上下顫動,家具相互撞擊,甚至傾倒。宛如一隻滿懷憤懣的地牛就此翻身。321Please respect copyright.PENANAfNqwDvySwg
321Please respect copyright.PENANANM5ZwK0Lsq
萌理佳蜷縮在遠處,緊緊抓著兔子頭套的帽沿。321Please respect copyright.PENANAyzGRXhOcxD
321Please respect copyright.PENANAbD3ypLOF76
相對地,另外二名少年神色平靜,凝視著面目猙獰的大叔。震動不一會兒便平息下來。321Please respect copyright.PENANAF4vEve0dtV
321Please respect copyright.PENANAdEMoVRtVUX
「您的女兒是吧?」好似剛剛什麼都沒發生,絳雉繼續發問,「幾歲了呢?」321Please respect copyright.PENANADKzO8fvMGJ
321Please respect copyright.PENANAlXkeGMME1a
大叔回過神來,一時之間居然神色困窘。321Please respect copyright.PENANAiH3Serxm1w
321Please respect copyright.PENANAHTmelceRqs
「好像才剛滿四歲……不,已經快要升大班了吧?」321Please respect copyright.PENANAVlkJiL4lEq
321Please respect copyright.PENANAOkPLhy9P9p
「您連女兒幾歲都不知道嗎?」玄鶚感到有趣似的噗哧一笑。321Please respect copyright.PENANALYitD7Cmqj
321Please respect copyright.PENANAvc1cYTJ10Y
「那是……因為我生前忙於工作的關係!」大叔眼神游移不定,暴躁地說,「所以我才到處在找,那狡猾的傢伙不知藏到哪裡去了!真是可恨至極!」321Please respect copyright.PENANAnzegdpJX9V
321Please respect copyright.PENANAju38p5oo5E
所以說,遊蕩在數個特定地的大叔幽靈,找尋的正是年幼女兒的屍塊,除此之外,還有一個令其憎恨不已的男子。321Please respect copyright.PENANAOuHefHpxho
321Please respect copyright.PENANAmFl3TzExIa
「但是呢,您怎麼那麼確定女兒的屍塊就在這幾個地方啊?」玄鶚舉起纖細手臂的同時出聲發問。「就連順序都很固定呢。以完全不知道棄屍順序的受害人爸爸來說還真是了不起。」321Please respect copyright.PENANAhovPUM8Wym
321Please respect copyright.PENANAA3XOkDfaxG
感覺自己終於快要搞清楚狀況的萌理佳,在這時看向明顯語帶嘲諷的黑色少年。他依然微笑著,唇角的弧度卻帶著一抹陰影。321Please respect copyright.PENANAAuW6lwUZOM
321Please respect copyright.PENANAbaATDHXst5
「還是說……那個男人其實根本就不存在?」321Please respect copyright.PENANAj91ylpBRVR
321Please respect copyright.PENANAy4MbJsOBEp
大叔幽靈雙眼圓睜。冷汗浸濕了腋下,剛剛的高昂氣勢瞬間煙消雲散。321Please respect copyright.PENANAhUarAXAp8Z
321Please respect copyright.PENANAE65TMpTiE2
「要是對萬事屋說謊的話,事情會變得難以收拾。」絳雉輕聲說道,語調輕如浮雲,卻帶著厚重的脅迫感。321Please respect copyright.PENANAZBoMOtVPaf
321Please respect copyright.PENANAZM5yC9LuWn
「怎……怎麼會?事到如今我怎麼可能隨口扯謊?我……我可是很愛那孩子的。她是我生命的全部啊!失去她的絕望,至今依舊折磨著我。我恨啊!那個可恨的傢伙!一切都是他的錯!要不是他,我們兩人現在還過著幸福快樂的日子,彼此相伴……可惡!可惡!可惡啊!」321Please respect copyright.PENANAQYdcTZTRw4
321Please respect copyright.PENANAvvjctisLyO
大叔幽靈面目扭曲,變成像是日本般若那樣的鬼臉,只剩還沒長出獠牙。321Please respect copyright.PENANA0JkWj8zmjE
321Please respect copyright.PENANA4UxzZxwaqC
一陣嘆息聲從拉門內飄然傳來。321Please respect copyright.PENANAk5q4lW8nKZ
321Please respect copyright.PENANAnpI9BTyCGE
什麼?那是什麼聲音?萌理佳驚恐地望著那扇緊閉的拉門。更令她瞠目結舌的是,玄鶚在這時突然放聲大笑。321Please respect copyright.PENANAVIjbHLqeIA
321Please respect copyright.PENANAzcKa0u582i
那笑聲響徹雲霄、充滿諷刺之意。與沉重的嘆息聲形成強烈對比。321Please respect copyright.PENANAxsztoKUOOD
321Please respect copyright.PENANAtHOXMFtn7X
「說得還真是好聽呀!真是厲害……你就是用這般油嘴滑舌,欺騙那個幼小的女孩的嗎?」321Please respect copyright.PENANAWBPwVd03Nd
321Please respect copyright.PENANAOsGTABnMnx
午後的陽光映照出因氣流波動而翻騰的塵埃。而玄鶚逕自捧著肚子,大笑著。321Please respect copyright.PENANA71xePVGhUy
321Please respect copyright.PENANANJLPVJnBJi
大叔幽靈不知是感到恐懼或是怒火中燒,膝蓋上緊握著的雙拳微微顫抖,扭曲的鬼臉神情微妙。321Please respect copyright.PENANAmGAL9WHOAu
321Please respect copyright.PENANAcQ610nd8ds
就在此時,萬事屋的大門傳來叩叩的敲門聲。321Please respect copyright.PENANA04QJtZOsvS
321Please respect copyright.PENANA7I9Ps2WySi
一名身穿黑西裝的男子出現在門外。深深陷入眼窩的黑眼圈之中,那雙疲累的眼瞳彷彿奮力擠出一絲希望般閃耀著微弱的光芒。321Please respect copyright.PENANAday0ubMeB3
321Please respect copyright.PENANA7D9RaIFTar
「不好意思……不好意思……那個,我想提出委託。」男子氣若游絲,凹陷的蒼白臉頰上浮現黑紫色的微血管。321Please respect copyright.PENANAxQYVKpofeA
321Please respect copyright.PENANAo83kQ9Jvf7
在男子舉至胸前的雙手中,夾著一個用毛線編織而成的布娃娃。321Please respect copyright.PENANA7hhjoxABvY
321Please respect copyright.PENANAwLyx2r3gmS
空氣宛如停滯了一般。321Please respect copyright.PENANACUiYels7wP
321Please respect copyright.PENANAEQ38NlbpWJ
「能不能……幫忙將這孩子送到該去的地方?」321Please respect copyright.PENANAxhQEqhG6cj
