『昨日晚間十點，中央發展區的波特地鐵站發生大規模的恐怖攻擊事件。據了解主導者為隸屬於工人黨的武裝激進組織。恐怖分子的武裝程度非常驚人，幾乎與前往壓制的城鎮應變部隊相抗衡。國家軍隊已經迅速投入戰場。昨天晚上雙方原本保持僵持狀態，以零星開火互相威嚇。今天凌晨兩點，特種部隊發起突擊，救出二十名人質之後，雙方展開激烈交火，目前還沒有更進一步的戰況傳出。啊！稍等，本社前線記者剛才已經被允許進入禁區採訪，讓我們把鏡頭交給現場的桑妮小姐。』406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX1K5miBU4

『好的各位觀眾，我現在身後就是事發地點波特車站，可以看到地面的設施結構已經被摧毀的不成模樣，現場可說是一片狼藉。自從「黑色聖夜」之後還沒有發生過如此大規模的人為災害。經過四個小時艱苦的攻堅行動，恐怖分子已經撤退到最底層的第五月台，炸毀通道死守不肯投降。各位觀眾可以看到我身後這兩台排除障礙用的重裝自律戰車，接下來軍隊將以無人機強行突破被炸毀的缺口，來進行最後一次攻堅……』406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mTCogVTH3

收音機的廣播新聞硬生生被切斷，房間內突然陷入一片死寂。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o0uetRpFe

坐在沙發上的倫斯怔了怔，仰頭轉過身來，卻看到門口站著一名氣急敗壞的男子，一手按著收音機，喘著息非常狼狽的模樣。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl9qgr0xHY

「喔──旭夜老弟你怎麼還在啊？這裡是戰區耶！」倫斯嚇了一跳。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUZcy3O3XV

名為旭夜的男性，留著長髮，面頰上還有鬍渣，再加上厚重的眼鏡，整體給人一種邋遢的感覺。他穿著簡便的襯衫搭西裝褲，乍看之下就是個普通的公司職員，而且是那種年過五十成就還停留在組長，人生停滯中的大叔。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd18ZGhQDQ0

406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NnTssVpBf
他是個非常魁武的男性，一頭剃短的灰髮雖然略顯老態，但渾身糾結的筋肉和皮膚上的各種傷痕，用無聲的語言散發出殺氣。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJYnexasK1
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYg2W3kpPX
他用看慣了的無奈眼神望向旭夜，聳了聳肩：406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIzAh7QZyb
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblKlZRP685
「不如說，你該不會以為『恐怖攻擊』是事後能夠靠交保解決的犯罪吧？不對不對，這觀念不對喔，你找來的那些傢伙啊，每個都是一心希望死在這裡的狂熱分子呢。唉唉，坐下來說話吧，你一路跑過來這裡？」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMP5HWumVp

旭夜走到窗邊，微微地拉開窗簾縫往外看。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7enZlfXmk0
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkfoYcHliF
使用望遠鏡的話，從這裡可以偵查數十個街區外波特車站外的現況，但現在不外乎就是煙霧瀰漫罷了。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ04R7hzmZF

406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqwG8tCfQG
「新聞上說是僵持，其實應變部隊剛露臉就開火囉，遠在我們動手之前吶。訴求或者條件什麼的根本沒機會開口。虧我們還非常有禮貌地讓外圍的普通市民逃離了呢。我說啊旭夜老弟，」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7i2DQd56u
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjzHjPw8ic
他將子彈慢慢填進彈莢，一面像是在閒聊般的開口說：406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a006xOEuS
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDigTWP7lnr
「我受的教育少所以不曉得。但一個國家隨時隨地布滿了重裝警察、每隔幾個街區就安插特勤部隊的盤查關口，這應該不是正常的事情對吧？從一開始，你打算和這種傢伙談條件就是錯得離譜的預想喔。會演變成現在這樣全面殲滅戰也是理所當然吧。不過，我認為工人黨裡那些老傢伙會很感謝你喔。比起憋屈地蹲在貧民窟裡仰望圍牆，你可以把他們送到市中心裡大鬧一翻，這真的是死也值得了吧。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY63iEcmXG

「那才不是……我想帶給他們的結局！」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbunaQFSHe8

雖然風涼話很不中聽，但倫斯的黑色幽默卻意外地戳到痛處。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniGkFmMNVj

「不過真是驚人啊～沒想到這個國家的自律戰車已經這麼先進了。你也有看到吧？渾身是白色流線型裝甲、四隻腳站得很穩，像陸龜一樣的傢伙。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcNOXijwpR

「話是沒錯啦，但高盧的還是那些裝履帶的笨重傢伙。火力和反應能力也比不上那些……嗯叫什麼來著？「克圖格雅」？他們派出來的大男孩完全是不同世代的兵器啊。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFXrcDsO0w
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvEQi4rSc5
「一個並不是靠戰爭取勝，而是像盜竊一樣入主政權的政府，短短幾年內就能將軍備擴充到這種程度也相當令人發笑呢。倫斯，就你看來那種東西很難應付嗎？」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIktk7p2mGR
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2H7fzi8SU
「難對付？威脅性比一整個陸軍排還大啊！就貧民窟目前的勢力，我想連被輾壓的資格都沒有呢。呵呵，這麼說是不是太過份了一點？」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0oADRCVaR
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnV1XKhMDY
「非常過分，說得簡直像工人黨的人死得一文不值似的。我還沒有對戰爭冷漠到像你這樣的程度，人死了就是人死了，在我看來還是很嚴重的。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegWhV110BJ

406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeF48YjDSs
「這樣誇獎我也不會感到高興啦。而且，你現在可是在稱讚一個十幾歲的小孩很擅長打仗喔，嗚哇老天這是什麼恐怖的話啊旭夜『老師』。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN23MQYB6Js
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw7quSKpQV
「少損我了。」旭夜啐了一口。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmaOeBGVZ7
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0w38CK7MK
「唉啊，像這樣讓小孩參加戰爭的例子，歷史上很早就有囉。不曉得你有沒有聽過啊，在能源恐慌時期，有個名詞叫『馴狗人』。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTH2AGU3Mi

「馴狗人？」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17JMYTh13Q
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8dGAlKZvv
「是啊，負責前線偵查工作和諜報任務。由一名士兵和一條狗當作單位，而且負責的士兵通常都是小孩子喔，方便潛入嘛。」倫斯挑挑眉。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULjLfeJxWk

「就跟『因為大家都在抽菸所以我也要』一樣，根本是國中生程度的煩惱不是嗎？總覺得我被小看了啊！」旭夜氣得將甜酒一飲而盡，瞪視著對方。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzfIZVx16U

406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw4dxzMlYl
「話說回來，那個目標叫做『赫恩』是嗎？名字挺文雅的嘛。完全不像是什麼引發大災害的恐怖魔女喔。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTRPvK7IZ9

「局外人會這樣覺得吧。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k4DJZIFwA

旭夜的嗓音一沉，眼神變的黯淡不少。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJnj98X7Cf
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2EZhZ0NNG
很明顯的，他這位當事人由『赫恩』這個名字所聯想到的事件規模，絕對不是在閒話家常之中可以輕鬆拿出來討論的題材。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMfnYSDh1G
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUSoQHAdhX
那是災難的代名詞。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N8IBhY1J9

「你來到這個國家時，是已經事發完後的狀況了吧。所以你根本不清楚黑色聖夜發生時的那種慘狀。我可以打賭，絕對比你見過的任何戰場還要激烈和絕望。就像是將整個都市都裝進箱子，然後灌入毒氣一樣絕望。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlgtaVGICd

406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx355jgpSwi
長期蹲在研究所裡造成的蒼白皮膚上，卻覆蓋著一層糾結粗糙的暗褐色皮膚。像燙傷般潰爛、也像結膿般浮腫，醜陋至極的傷瘡疤。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHua10s6391

「所以赫恩才會被那樣監禁起來。雖然沒有直接證據將災害的罪狀算到她身上，但在那種時間與地點上，赫恩就這樣出現，我認為要勉強不去做聯想反而是更困難的。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dG9oqh02b

整座閻融爐的失控與崩潰地數天後，救援部隊幾近絕望地對閻熔爐廢墟區域進行開挖清理，在層層疊疊的瓦礫堆與燒毀的屍骸之下，這個白色的孩子卻沉睡在那深處——將自己蜷縮在廢墟下的小空間裡，彷彿將整座閻融爐死滅後的遺骸當作自己的縛繭，好自死亡中重生般，詭異而美麗的景象。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNYHQIggYX

對受害者來說，她的出現絕對是恐怖到無以復加的事情吧。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pEq0mq7Os

「由於能源局在第一時間接手，知道赫恩真實存在的人其實並不多。這件事主要以口耳流傳的形式在貧民窟之中存在著。你想像一下，『造成黑色聖夜的怪物現在還關在能源局的監牢裡』能對群眾造成多大的壓力？但是，」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7WfRso3Hz

「規模越大的群眾越容易被不理性的傳言煽動。相對的，如果能夠選擇性的還給他們真相，反轉過來的凝聚力應該也會很強烈吧。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGYn7ONkNB

「這就是你奪取赫恩的目的？」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRCrzPeZG6

「要慢慢來，我的設想需要時間來推行。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RL2logE5r

406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf2thWXFL8
不過此刻，散亂分布的彈孔已經將靶面扯爛，快要看不出原本的樣貌了。都模糊成這副德性，就算繼續射擊也沒辦法有效判斷彈著點。但譚雅還是持續將整個彈夾打空，隨著暴鳴的槍響與彈殼彈跳落地的敲擊聲，人形靶變成了不成原型的破碎物體。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5MJQplOOo
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rF27pxiPy
直到手槍的滑套已經向後卡住，露出空蕩的槍膛，繼續按板機也沒有反應時，譚雅才彷彿清醒一般睜大眼睛，積在肺部的濁氣一口氣被吐了出來，火藥的氣息讓他狠狠嗆了口氣。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef9kYci3WQ

她雙肩微微顫抖著，她將頭垂得不能再低，一時間無法對奈歐尖銳的指責多做反應。持續了數十秒的失語，她卻只吐得出這句道歉。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yIXDE6Y9R
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEsxEHKZmw
話音裡除了反省外，還帶著一絲迷惘的氛圍。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxoNKM7URw
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinTovUM4GD
「我只是……想讓你知道我並沒有失去狀態，我可以……表現得很好。抱歉，奈歐。請你繼續信任我吧，我會做好的。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboPEQVeFm7
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOppf8kAm1R
「嗯，我信任妳，從過去到現在，以後也會繼續信任你。我也並不擔心妳失去狀態，妳屬於不會因為安逸而生疏駑鈍的良材，一直是我很優秀的下官。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1WucnwUHu
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgFs0VT4Wq
他飲乾了寶特瓶裡的水，輕嘆了一口氣又接著說：406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnGy8n2lwT
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQLIr76csZ
「沒錯，妳還是以往的妳。能源局的直隸部隊也依舊在服役著。我們並沒有真正失去什麼優勢。所以譚雅，保持現在這樣就好。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRn0VtSUmS
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIlY9bHfOL
「……奈歐。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRayBUi4a6u
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUfE9MLi9V
「放心吧，我們會把赫恩帶回來的。」奈歐露出了篤定的表情：406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DSS02AC3I
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r8zBQQ2xL
「只是時間的問題罷了。這件事情能源局不會善罷干休，再過不久鐵定會由我們主動出擊，到時候的任務可是會辛苦到讓妳叫苦連天吧。既然如此，我們要做的就是等待命令。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pyQc8gu1B
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo1Yhdevny
我能體會妳的焦急。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3wlcQEWAY
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAa6LrDRTI
從妳的眼神就能看出來了，妳急著扳回一城。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzXLuINh8T
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPx9W6dek9
這種性格就是妳的特質，所以妳才會是優秀的軍人。我從一開始就知道這點，所以我不會懷疑妳的能力。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENI5FBmKn5
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmnhwOwt5H
「但是現在我得幫妳踩剎車。譚雅，不要把自己逼得這麼緊繃，別忘了我們都還與妳同在。像個專業的士兵那樣，冷靜地待機吧。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoDU87EEhL
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhKw2pPu5H
「好吧，我明白了。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaZGN17oMs
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMa2wvx7Gu
譚雅的雙肩垂了下去，呼吸也漸漸平緩下來。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oycl1ADiX
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIIviLY3cT
「謝謝你，我反應過度了。如果今天被擄走的不是赫恩，我也不會……奈歐？」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkB0CsQL3J
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl3ydC6VDz
她將視線從地板抬起，看見的卻是奈歐將臉高高仰起，用手掌體著自己的胸口，好像有股氣喘不過來的模樣，表情十分痛苦。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu7CqRk2Hh
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI5LCAk3YN
「奈歐！你沒事吧？怎麼了！」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nBVveTmxX
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vsQkAH1OR
「不……等等……沒事……咳咳咳！」他困難地調整呼吸，卻劇烈地咳嗽起來。雖然嘴上說著沒事，看起來卻有點嚇人。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAPjHeRPgj
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5ejgqkBzv
「是喝水嗆到了嗎？現在還好嗎？我來幫你拍拍！」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUP7JdBNGw
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCEUsoJ1nz
「他沒事的，譚雅准尉。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1gQUtr3A6
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKrPZzUjJ5
一個低沉的聲音突然插入了現場。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1hg9ETPs4
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejguAWI7rG
譚雅猛一回頭，看到的卻是夏克斯站在射擊訓練室的門口。他穿著一貫的白色研究服，蒼老的臉和厚重的眼就都毫無變化，只不過此刻，那雙眼睛中的嚴厲氣息似乎更加沉重了。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpAtnMCqqi
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCtKzliuRB
「我有些事情要跟你的隊長談談，麻煩妳先迴避吧。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TZwjQmtPG
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG8VcX1a9r
突然間用這麼客氣的語調指示自己，譚雅一瞬間有點反應不過來。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVKUmtMYoU
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnu4VCdDYx
「呃，但是奈歐406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZwixQl4kx
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eEkI2v0OL
「我說了他會沒事的。感謝妳的協助，現在請妳離開這裡。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFmdVQF1Qg
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnrXbajVgG
「這是命令嗎？」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8yes3oh2A
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5mzJjaGpY
「難不成我會找妳閒聊？別得寸進尺，譚雅少尉。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMHR8lUrh2
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlfVzk5GGZ
果然還是正常的夏克斯。譚雅莫可奈何地站起身來，到這個地步已經不是能商量的狀況了。雖然心裡依舊非常擔心，她也只能行個禮退到房間外面去。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPiTmgZfQE
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznKsxxihcK
待譚雅離開後，夏克斯這才來到奈歐身邊。奈歐雖然還是用右手緊緊扣著自己的胸口，但神色已經鎮定下來。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3octbNj7c
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYBWV1pIa8
「發作的間隔又縮短了吧。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBZmPifHuK
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkCcim7G2C
「嗯。」奈歐表情沉重地點點頭。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6Y585ejmD
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZT49aoAA7
「先注射止痛劑吧，正事稍後再談。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUypIAhFkG
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi1fAqQ5DO
夏克斯將手上的提箱打開遞給他。奈歐以熟練的動作，替自己注射了一管淡黃色的藥劑。經過了大約三十秒，胸口的灼熱感才逐漸褪去。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSlAS2H0Nt
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2rlMUBpoF
「現在延伸到哪裡了。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63cEebQvaT
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFX8rIwd7W
「並沒有往外擴散，」奈歐掀起衣服，露出鎖骨下方的肌膚，沉褐色佈滿了皺褶和血管的發病區塊：「但是位置感覺更深了。就像隨時被人掐著咽喉。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCQJBCMHLM
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBdkWi6YdN
「真是壞消息。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdoJyXzMcD
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ap7aCBqkr
夏克斯搖了搖頭，替他將器材收回提箱裡：406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26PbFOrOPG
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUEbuTSkkp
「但最近的壞消息實在是太多了，再加上你這件也不怎麼樣。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCqxUwntsI
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9n0fwZ33Z
「我的命真是被你看輕了啊。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH7W5KLZjh

「無論是誰的命，我都沒有看得很重，這句話也包含了我自己。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJAdbrVebs
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfQoxaCJVk
「呵呵，怎麼完全不感到訝異呢。」奈歐沉下眼神說著：406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0KpVSVoMm
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU13mGKBED
「夏克斯，我的侵蝕症狀……什麼時候才會被身體適應？」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xp3L6jiZp
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDXcNEwtTQ
「可能是一年，也可能是十年。怎麼？你感到心急嗎？」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8AYt75jwT
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaeePWXGch
「我可不想用這種狀態帶軍隊，尤其是像昨天的突發狀況。好在有譚雅和其它副官控制場面。未來要是遇到類似的狀況，我的身體不允許在指揮的過程中突然病發。對了，那個藥劑，劑量就不能再多一點嗎？」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnTde8EyRd
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hCCaPvuVo
「別傻了。就算是我開給你的藥，對你的肉體來說也是外來的異種，光靠自信心可沒辦法戰勝藥物的副作用。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT5jIyscQX
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGEJtJsEPy
「……果然沒有那麼好的事情呢。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI5xRS4vS0
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5SYKInq7I
他重重嘆了一口氣，406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiwGun5FF2
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLJD5kvvi3
「就好像當年的怨靈還纏附在身邊一樣。這或許就是他們所說的業障吧。哈哈，我已經到會開始思考這些東西的年紀了呢，真是可笑。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRpoxsqxSX
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SWn4q5rtk
「抱歉打擾你的感性，不過恐怕你得再次面對那場噩夢了。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6Aj7nrkow
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcDhWUbtjg
夏克斯將一張電子板遞給奈歐。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdxMFxpMeX
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ2JlpsGNi
上頭顯示著包含文字與地圖在內的大量訊息。奈歐先是看了開頭，接著快速地往後翻了幾頁。他的表情變得相當複雜，深深吸了一口氣才開口：406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31HlRxcLFi
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKxXQdnNwD
「『畢竟是能源局』，五六年前我或許還會說出這種冰冷無情的話，但現在這份指令對我來說，已經沉重到不可思議了。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlese4CXTz
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRywrVq5b8I
「所有的決策都只是排除問題的手段而已，你作為一介軍人可沒有審判它的權力。兩個小時後在Ｂ棟召開作戰會議。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ312ICriWfP
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX0oPhhPgS
「像這樣的作戰計畫，也是經過能源局的議會討論所產生的嗎？」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCdnxHKwLI
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vNhFQtyi8
「無庸置疑。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRB3dWsx4i
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUPqvwHt1X
「看來議會的人全都是像你這樣的個性啊，」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtubYsvkJZg
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06hoUIMjse
奈歐悻悻然地將電子板交還給夏克斯，露出非常嫌惡的表情說：406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93oFO6pvQd
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpb0y0j83P
「難道不擔心我反抗命令嗎？」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMm87gPQpC
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjso50zXAnd
「你不會的，我們都很清楚。這就是你被選為直隸部隊隊長的原因。奈歐，你是個頭腦清楚的人，就跟議會裡的每一位一樣清楚。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgvLi4WEsV
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xLQ6jFc20
「繼續跟你說話，原本清楚的腦袋都變成焦黑色了。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL1rCjsb9o
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceUOqzHEmA
奈歐取回掛架上的外套，轉身想離開射擊訓練室。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAutAZP4j2h
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MiEVJEfSp
他正要跨出腳步，夏克斯卻在最後提了一句：406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqN1Qk97e2
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZDVIYJPqw
「恐怖攻擊那天，監視系統裡似乎拍到了旭夜的身影。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4aEqo17gj
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwQLtVeAVs
「所以？」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0oZNh72J5

「還真是承蒙您看重了。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNabHDMwSmJ

406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFFHdAucWf
艾瑪利拿著扳手，無奈地對坐在窗台邊的依奴和赫恩苦苦勸告。不過她本來就不會哄小孩，眼前的兩位也早就不是可以哄的年紀了。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6DAhZxLJU
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Se7yq9IRj

406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaxEHqr4ao
「來了！」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t4gPk6Hjt
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2rwkefVCl
艾瑪利戴上面罩和厚重的手套，接過材料往車床走去。房間裡同時有五六個男人正在忙碌著，各式各樣的機件發出尖銳的噪音。房裡悶熱異常，完全感覺不到冬日應有的寒冷。也難怪依奴與赫恩會逃到窗邊吹風。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTCMYTUwO8
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp0j3YYzcS
「瑪利啊，旭夜老師還沒回來嗎？」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hBhGVuG4u

406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscgnjPlhik
艾瑪利嘆了口氣，脫去沉重的工作服裝，走向窗台坐到依奴與赫恩身邊。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPKBZWOjvW

兩個孩子注視著窗外的街道，沒有回頭多搭理她。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCQmNW72uv

「很有活力的街道呢……跟我想像中的不太一樣。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rlUcwtXlt
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuJ6DlWJUU
赫恩望著雜亂的市街。這裡是貧民窟尚能住人的幾個街區之一，因為是技師交流之處，被取名為破罐街。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu5D995xYO
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjRDFY6Y3L
整條街道都響著各種金屬敲擊、削磨、冷卻的聲音，對耳朵造成的負擔非常之大。大嗓門的男人搬運著重物來來往往，小孩也被分配到各種雜物。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zs4iKUyWr
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp24TiwEuF8
偶爾能看到一兩個女人經過，但也都像艾瑪利這樣，是穿著樸素衣服、手指與臉頰抹著機油痕跡的工房技師。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd6rUmrI96
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmyhw0k32Z
說句實話，與中央區或東區那樣的發展區完全無法相比，破罐街的長度也只有約兩百公尺，以一座都市來說非常窄小。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCzpljEFo0
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkQZOk1Pea

艾瑪利伸手往旁邊的貨架翻找，從潤滑油瓶、蒐集鐵釘的罐頭、自釀大豆酒和番茄醬瓶後面撈出了一罐零嘴，打開來將餅乾分給赫恩和依奴。不料身後正組裝著機械的男人突然大叫起來：406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhueFD84HHe

對這些似乎習以為常的依奴，默默接過雜麥餅乾啃了起來。赫恩則是遲疑了片刻，明顯是不太能融入這種氣氛。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiRvCjLdmz

「食物、燃料、礦材，貧民窟都不缺乏嗎？」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgMcImQy8p
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsdsa6c7Ao
「最近幾年還算樂觀喔。」艾瑪利叼著餅乾回答赫恩的疑問：「但是農作物只能很集中地種小麥和馬鈴薯。真想吃多點蔬菜和水果呢。燃料的話，風力啊沼氣啊水流啊什麼雜七雜八的手段全部用上了，才勉強夠用呢，到晚上這附近很黑的喔，因為要省電嘛。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPN48d8bwi

從黑色聖夜之後的重建整理、之後的救助和醫療等等，要不是旭夜出面指導，恐怕貧民窟會與現在完全不同吧。之所以會叫他老師也是合情合理呢，總覺得他什麼都會，碰到任何狀況先問他就對了。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2pPNggcHQ
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSXbuQDSRw
「艾瑪利，似乎很崇拜旭夜呢。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC2nrjiREN
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozqGm3QnhD
「當然囉！我可是旭夜唯一正式的徒弟喔！」艾瑪利挺起胸膛，相當開心地說：406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECRpAOBHh3
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35dMfN9A35
「該怎麼說呢？不愧是設計閻融爐的男人，第一次見面的時候他就給了我很多衝擊呢！他的知識量讓我覺得過去五年的技師經驗跟假的一樣。沒辦法，既然機械技術比不過，只能用床上技術扳回尊嚴了！」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZDPr5c1Ba

「噗嗚！咳咳咳咳！」依奴被吞到一半的水狠狠嗆了一口。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSp960nYdx
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaOlVp0YGO
「哈哈哈，開玩笑的啦！依奴也真是的～比起那種宅男，我更想把依奴逮進自己的被窩裡喔～過來讓大姊姊捏捏～」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACCfrVWFNB

「妳敢繼續湊過來，我就從這裡跳下去。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44IYdBO1IN

「依奴好正經，噗噗──」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUHPVXSzi1

在暫時佔上風的艾瑪利相當積極地朝依奴進攻時，旁邊的技工們喊著「完成囉」一面將架高的工作檯緩緩降了下來。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80yTzoMLj3

安置在台座上的，是一輛重型摩托車。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxuvVCsSNE

從外型來看，是舊時代的產物，包括位於座位前方的油箱，以及充滿個性的車頭燈。唯獨引擎部位被新的甲板蓋起，將複雜的部件保護在下面。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRqwiifHKC

依奴將一疊紙鈔交給那名男人，並且走向前去檢查車體。車身被清潔得相當乾淨，打磨的細節也沒有漏掉，讓人感受到技師的敬業。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fLBiylL80

赫恩也好奇地站在後頭，對摩托車探頭探腦，不過隔著一層甲板，大概也沒辦法看出機械結構的什麼玄機來。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJyoA9sUf7
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiDn0lZuln
「這台摩托車用的是石油時代的技術。能夠復活真是太好了。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sw9tsEVHf
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHkZ0mtGAa
依奴輕聲說著，露出滿意而平靜的表情。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsPe1cF9Xu
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnynf5nkjP
對機械沒什麼熱情的赫恩，則困惑地歪了歪頭。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQrC1qPKdg
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbAZxvwIln
在這之前，她還未曾見過依奴的表情變得如此親切與單純。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmibJms904J

一旁的技工用驕傲的表情炫耀著：「要重新打造專屬的零件，可花了我們不少時間啊，有些部件光看設計圖真是看不懂，旭夜老師果然厲害啊。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oISOO0zdX
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9beJo57wXd
「嗯，能在這麼趕的時間裡完成，真是謝謝你們。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe81rOLBg0

「好啦～那麼現在，」艾瑪利舒緩了下肩膀，從窗邊站起身來：406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcr7VdOmZR
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHcJBEV8zP
「時間也差不多了，我要去找高盧的人談談自律戰車的事情。依奴，你如果沒什麼事就載赫恩回基地吧。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiIkPwblPx

他用不帶多餘情緒的一貫表情，握著龍頭，抬腿踢起摩托車的支架。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR6sUqJW23

「赫恩，我帶妳四處逛逛，跟上吧。」406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4Pi9D4Fwj

他揚了揚車鑰匙，如此說到。406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCXknHUVv2
