這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvfJB2pZMh
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MafzHangN
為了應付嚴苛戰事而組織的精銳部隊，在戰鬥中卻將近三成沒能安然回歸。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEnIkR3Z4h
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9YeARJMnw
戰勝的消息傳回能源局之後，負責探勘的隊伍開始確認生還的居民，以及貧民窟內部的建築狀況。由於交通工具總是受地形阻礙，推演的速度相當緩慢。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPH00TzYjw
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yCo0MKpsN
清理出安全的道路後，在軍隊的護送下，拆除大隊與某些人道團體成功進入貧民窟，展開了八年來第一次除了邊境鎮壓以外的互動。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RPJkaf0FR
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbDc9WczL2
從最外圍開始，拆除團隊逐漸改造扭曲的街道、不穩固的樓房。為了保持警戒，可以看見軍人與工程師同時出現在工地內的景象。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoK5bOJvfd
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP0vhBDEPV
雖然這場戰爭在其他地區掀起軒然大波，由於不過是數年前，人們就曾經目睹科學發展帶來的慘劇，疑惑的群眾幾乎一面倒向責備能源局。即便如此，長期掌控著社會生態的能源局，在熟練迅速的壓制下，輿論並沒有造成什麼障礙。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIc481pVQ7
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuoN5JEI9k
尤其是時值冬末，讓人無法提起活力的天氣煩惱著這座都市的所有人。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheeWf0p7Gx
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR6QLBgwAP
季風雨持續降下，遲遲等不到晴朗的天空。依照觀測，恐怕會是二十年以來最漫長、也將會是最寒冷的冬雨季。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVLaidb4Z1
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWuIz9Mkpg
分明是新年，令人不快的陰鬱氣息卻籠罩在這座高科技都市上。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGZXbztiCG
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeeJuqu2qf
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFMK9XgvxZ
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DhFbOrdhz
距離高盧游擊部隊完全集結，朝中央發展區展開總攻擊，還有兩個小時。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhZP6o0rUg

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTujrbseP1
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfoeJnhQo2
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJdFEuzMbl
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZdGshE1Rs
摩托車的頭燈照亮四周的殘骸，勉強地開拓了視線。依奴駕駛著傷痕累累的愛車，僅僅以不至於讓車身翻倒的緩慢速度前進。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27vJQkdGLB
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtVsCgSEhB
持續跑在街道中又過了數分鐘，眼前所見的場景幾乎沒有變化，赫恩沒辦法從這些廢墟中分辨出什麼差別，也不曉得他究竟要往哪裡走。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzojo7Nzj2d
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx0I0cMAVm
依奴從剛剛開始就不發一語，他弓著背並且把頭壓得很低，抓住龍頭的雙手明顯地過度使力，正微微發抖著。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCmg9PWLCK
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUySbce2LJa
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6plxlNqwTC
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU4KUvJ7q3
這場戰爭，從開始到現在的平息，究竟經過了多少時間？赫恩覺得自己的時間感已經被打亂了，所有經歷過的事件在腦中都攪和成一團。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78QPjEuFjd
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2U2IBDm8b
燃燒、傾倒、萎縮。各式各樣的畫面破碎成片段，全部溶解在摩托車彷彿無止境的低沉引擎聲中。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QkyXpjAtg
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcExclhP76j
還要多久才能抵達目的地呢？或者會永遠這麼運轉下去呢？原來，逃亡是件這麼沉重苦悶的事情。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwnrXKZZ7N
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpUoDFACNi
正當赫恩已經陷入迷濛的睏意中時，景色的轉變重新牽動了她的注意力。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O8fmOdBrW
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VMSaKWe2m
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iVkODq5Ca
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8HftL1XSQ
橫跨了整個混亂的建築區域後，四周的景色居然開朗了起來。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvBdGY6t6q
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUqtR75J8D
彷彿在宣告著目的地已經到達，東方的天空此時漾起了光芒。厚重的雲層遮蔽了黎明，但純潔無瑕的晨光渲染開來，視野逐漸變得清晰。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0H4E7o95Y
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvukZmMKybp
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64DXfWReYb
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh6ydYBmpe
摩托車所經的地方，似乎曾經是某個重要的區塊。舊時代都市的街區、歪斜的交通號誌，甚至是柏油路面上的號誌線，這些規劃完整的建設依然留有痕跡。十字路口上停擺著廢棄的車輛、輸電用的纜線也在樓房間穿梭。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGhZSW1klV
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgDLAGSRAq
成排的商店與公司坐落在主要幹道左右，依稀能想像這個市區以前的繁榮光景。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8uXIu8Bck
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxgwkF6DXT
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xcHINaVTm
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3AKZOMks6
這是赫恩首次見到舊世代的都市，包括現代已經不存在的電線桿、霓虹燈招牌、電話亭、郵筒等等，這裡有許多她無法理解的設施。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvN6rVzsdY
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIBNAlJERt
摩托車來到某個建築物前方，跑了一整夜的雙輪終於不再運轉。只不過，依奴並沒有準備任何停車下車的動作，他仍然僵硬地緊握著油門──399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCedYe4vog
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5fTSZBGS7
滑行了一小段距離後，失去控制的車體就這麼往側邊傾倒下去。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbXMaFyjEH
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShLyrF9cUA
「唔嗚！」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFxMP2kd7E
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oJUp8nKjW
抱著他的赫恩嚇了一大跳，她放開手臂跳開，狼狽地往旁邊跌坐，差一點被摩托車的笨重車體砸中。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwMPWLKLkD
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnTcbFcz53
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7A6Svkolg
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1nfu6hVeg
「依奴！」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxScvYRecC
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZRUR3nheh
赫恩慌張地向前去，把車鑰匙拔出來讓引擎熄火後，費了一番功夫才將笨重的車身移開，並且將依奴從下面拖了出來。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBDYPjwDxp
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dnUNQSrCU
即使如此，依奴仍然一動也不動。他趴伏在地上，甚至連半點呼吸或喘息聲都聽不見。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZUYCb2LxQ
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwrtiqpgbb
赫恩讓他靠坐在車體旁，輕輕摘下那頂貝雷帽，將他低垂的臉托起。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTjpFmyLbZ
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyZ6K0AXEw
「依奴──」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dGMUlCba3
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ338Zq9PqE3
脫口喊出對方的名字後，赫恩迅速地止住了話音，再也無法說下去。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm6bFwr0R2
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X5xYm1lZT
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlFa5PD0hd
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIIXVykjnw
在黎明的微光下，她能夠清晰地從領口看見——黑色的血管紋路，從依奴的胸口向上方蔓延，雖然血管的走勢在頸部附近就停止了，但依然有幾條怵目驚心的紋路爬上了他的臉頰。擴張的青色血管扭曲了表面的皮膚，像植物的根部般盤踞著，除了病態與扭曲以外，無法讓人有更多的聯想。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoF9aZydE9
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoav4XzA66
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJpgDsrOpU
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RHsR2y6qq
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3p6uTL3WZ
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWqtHp2FPa
原本那精緻且秀氣、甚至堪稱為美麗的面孔，竟然被侵蝕成這副模樣。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr25Wthq3OC
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8ZyZ8ym7r
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QApvxUuAv
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMhY2uFJj8
黑色血管是從左胸口開始蔓延的，越接近心臟，出現的血管就越粗大，宛如被寄生般相當恐怖。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbUyDAKoQ2
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg29mPW2l7
她試探性地抓起依奴的手掌放在臉頰上，傳來的是令人不安的冰涼。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnuSrvAs59
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCyAvQkKuP
他還有微弱的呼吸，保住了虛弱的命，但不知道什麼時候才會從昏迷中醒過來。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERxlUxTspu
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWkacZwcrX
雨還在下，不過勢頭已經減緩許多，紛亂的聲響也降低不少。徒留下濕潤與空虛的寒冷，仍舊在吐息間流竄著。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPhmqVlBZh
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXKIwJmHxP
她重新站起，確認四周圍的請況。這塊保留完整的舊街區其實相當小，在逐漸明朗的光線下，都市的輪廓已經緩緩成形。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR7mGlzULX
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2X1ujgpUy
八年前，建設在這裡的閻融爐暴走時，擴散的能量震盪所摧毀的建築物數量，大概佔整座桔梗區的三分之一，剩下的部分即使還勉強留存著模樣，但供電系統等等軟體設施已經全部報銷，對都市來說等於是機能癱瘓。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAySS1eaIn
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmpT88M5yD
重建工程展開時，為了降低新建材的需求，曾經大規模地拆除還留有主體的地區，把廢建築內完好的鋼材、玻璃等等資源回收，送往開闊地帶建造新的居住區。再加上難民們當時並不知道這些重建建築將會成為他們永久性的巢穴，所以對於重建工程並沒有細心規劃，導致發展區內零零落落地到處都看得到難民營，交通路線也是九彎十八拐。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BslTRhuEc
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgdZzYcgF3
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW2tAkdpce
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqiD8VYuvo
沒有被能量震波轟垮、沒有被回收作業拆除、亦沒有被胡亂的重建計畫改造，還保留著八年前那夜之後的殘敗模樣。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa7EfI4DKL
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbRjJgp2VI
唯一的可能性，就是到來的軍隊曾經刻意避免了難民與這塊區域的接觸，將其作為重點區域封鎖住了。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT1h3Km0yK
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjzzOndj4r
這片涵蓋四個十字路口，長寬不過數百公尺的範圍，從外表上看去毫無特出之處，至少憑著赫恩的經驗，這些沒看過的建築在當時應該也不是研究機構或者政治中心之類的，研究機構不長這個樣子。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnf1Im2z7J
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG6Co4mIau
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC8C21cZuU
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD9wpOGyHo
雖然那棟建築物是這附近最接近科學機構的，但明顯設在門口的橫幅矮牆上，刻著某某醫院的名字。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED6xqY0QxK
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4bEPeRdtT
急診室的入口、救護車的出入車道、以及一般病患出入的大門都具備，雖然被拉上的鐵捲門嚴謹封死，但應該就如同名字顯示的，是普通的醫院吧。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpHLVVlx41
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4PslXcolf
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgTaVaFLlo
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40lAbgBsjI
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeYAX6Dt9o
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SjrYEJGOP
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHRlGDXFVo
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjS0wMXtKn
依奴皺起眉頭，試圖深吸一口氣，肺部的收縮似乎造成了痛楚。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQejlpQTvQ
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdboGfFRbkB
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsRV9KGBNr
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ87ckah8bd
赫恩連忙跑過去扶助依奴，幸好依奴很快就恢復狀況，硬撐著剛甦醒的意識，勉強讓自己重新站直。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0dgfIymQN
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1bt8DPLEH
他臉上的血管出現了細微的蠕動，隨著大口喘息的動作而顫抖，模樣相當嚇人。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYdIZIs8ng
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMNurArj7E
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErC5FXhKv6
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRubJBrxsql
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL7coI70uU
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY6SwZMDM4
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgYuI253i0
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb5ft92KaF
他用發抖的手拉開行囊，從藥罐中倒出止痛藥片，仰頸吞嚥下去。經過幾分鐘的調整呼吸後，氣色才漸漸好轉。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbykRmjRwNe
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgx9Hz99wz
他將倒地的摩托車拉起立直，然後放鬆地用力吸了一口長氣。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhxWRjcD8v
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipk81XngLP
就像往常一樣，他拿出保溫杯倒了一份冒著蒸氣的溫水給赫恩。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dN198CGVN
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQkE2XfeP2
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ83uBDRisQ
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGich1puAP9
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iVPtvzBmT
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnnJQ12OVj
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RNqenA5uf
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ5pYSw7HG
「我早就習慣了。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQQiIhYEut
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2L37CjS1x
依奴垂下雙眸，即使依舊是名少年，他習慣性的表情卻總是透著難以言喻的沉鬱，雖然他未曾用言辭表達，但心中一定壓抑著什麼。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgoeey7O5Y
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvgiwLw7ns
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fviayEJhW
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLsyEMyGN5
只不過是一天前，同樣是在黎明時觀看這個男孩的側臉，樣貌卻已經完全不同。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAo2rzeQDl
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT4AuEt4ok
雨季的厚雲剝奪了陽光的溫度，而少年漂亮的面容也已經被恐怖的傷痕摧毀。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7ucUm0hWP
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV7mUmlL95
赫恩輕輕啜飲了一口溫開水，好在至少這份溫度依然留存著。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtteTWdDMM
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYzM75yPT8
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsLwvogzaO
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiCOPTEMax
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf59YOznKw
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdldIyvaYc
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2IWKIs7wD
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajreYgjrVu
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoguInrUMfs
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhioz553gEW
「這裡是？」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0owf3YcH47
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u5xZHZ6v4
「算是城市邊陲地帶的市區，從這裡繼續往西的話就能看到海岸了。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZARnuQxJK6
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFL68YpmyE
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc84wLAdmAJ
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡint2vaLhpP
「這裡是受到閻融爐爆炸的傷害較小的災區外圍，距離政府軍能利用的入口也相當遠。碎片瓦礫堆積而成的小山形成了絕佳屏障。如果不是像我一樣知道正確的走法，又沒有空中攝影機做引導，並且開著重型工程車鏟除路障的話，兩三天內幾乎不可能穿越複雜的貧民窟廢墟，抵達這個地方。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSw9K8DtA0
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtu4beRbAr
依奴指了指身後的醫院：399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKkiGWPnOo
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k9weLrO86
「但不曉得貧民窟現在的狀況實際上如何了，我們能待的時間也不多。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkujAnKP3nu
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHEOCeuGEA
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDMVOuzzux
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxNcQUNobD
依奴原本沒做多想就要去接，但他在最後一刻頓住了，回想起昨天高架公路上的經驗，讓他很快的又把手抽回來。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRS3iBTai9
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1kwSmMKXQ
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVHBFNrYop
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoNMkLjl2Z
「不可以嗎？」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUl9THbfXB
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRcNHt77dR
「妳真的打算握？」看著赫恩毫無多慮的疑惑表情，依奴輕嘆了口氣。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKHhV19ZVy
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA7NYBOR29
「把杯蓋給我。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5P8KiSPah
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu8VeuYEOU
「就讓我握一下吧。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNz5XYiYXX
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xgr0HyD8E
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm1S7EYgTa
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhS9cV8dbT
「依奴。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BvsFn0s78
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjVVUcTcMU
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDmzXkz46r
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfHH0fU7US
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpK8zymhSb
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D4Dn3Oaw9
她將依奴的手撫貼在臉頰上，感受著已經漸漸回歸肌膚之間、流淌著血液的熱量。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCKeqwRMlQ
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXR66MmdRH
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOhP7VdF3z
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2jKhUiPwJ
「溫度回來了。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEQMEru16p
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESbKVMh3Gj
「好了嗎？」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBVZOcZg3Z
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5l1V9Ulrg
「再稍微這樣一下子。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxebDrTbrJS
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfwfoVB7QR
像是在彌補之前的擔憂般，赫恩仍然緊握著不放，兩人就這麼僵持了數秒，對依奴來說還真是相當尷尬的體驗。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y3dmHmVhb
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpohtw0vsT
但是，看到赫恩穩定安適的表情，他更不想打斷這樣的片刻。由於自己的手掌比較冰冷些，赫恩臉頰的溫熱感也渲染到了手上，依奴若有所思地感受著這份溫度。他深感慶幸，此刻的他竟然還留有性命，能觸及她的臉頰。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArJYLzOpNH
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AbBrYgM2r
或者說，他就是為了奪回這份真實感，才能夠苟延殘喘到此刻──399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUxJUFy8WZ
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HJLeeuVjG
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpz9CB6JRc
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQuoYYZUB2
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXX5U2Pmmx
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aTj9m9S7r
「喂。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl43FCaW2X
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjPjqZqH45
「現在移除裝置可能導致不可預測的資料損毀，確定要移除嗎？」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtxgH1jQ67
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHvk54n4OQ
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlu16slq8Z
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLk93qX1Hp
恢復平靜後，他把摩托車藏到建築的陰暗處，用垃圾桶和廢帆布稍微遮掩。接著用鋼索發射器朝醫院的二樓開了一槍，拉出堅韌的繩索。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGMnBDxFhb

抱起赫恩後，他踩上旁邊的汽車當作階梯，墊了一步，順著跳躍的勢子往上飛升。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWuqAH9ef7
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu3Tc1Xh7s
依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0Yrpc9Rdg
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFmVVH4fFh
玻璃碎塊零落地四散一地，在積滿灰塵地地面上刮出痕跡。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalIUiWssyF
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2MaYihL5n
赫恩還是不太習慣這種三度空間式的移動方式，因為暈眩而意識搖晃了下。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD9kNa0qOS
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FY7wlzJSk
她扶著牆壁環視四周，內部除了尋常地醫療機構之外，並沒有什麼奇特處。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjWlVu4GW5

「依奴，為什麼要來這裡？」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAOkWSnVAW
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OzLptOzH1
「建築物下層有間資源倉庫。包括貧民窟可能短時間內就會被攻陷在內，旭夜機會把所有可能性都做足了保險。我常常負責將一些非常貴重的物資轉移到這裡來。目前首先要補充彈藥和汽油，再來決定下一步。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsfVOJVvCm
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBDDfjS0wj
「旭夜為什麼特別選了這間醫院當倉庫？」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzly19C02Fu
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf4G913rAu

「跟上來。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZEar8Ck8x
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYu6cr8o7o
依奴並沒有正面回答赫恩，他收起鋼索發射器掛在腰上，往走廊的另一頭踏出步伐。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwsp5SB1QN
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiRuta05Le
醫院裡瀰漫著某種難以言喻的臭味，大多是水氣的濕臭，但隱隱約約似乎也包含著藥品的刺鼻味道。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p5hvkWuXV
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOkKdEUdub
「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8cGCb7cVK
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k1f34Xx12
依奴用平淡的口氣說：399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaDQWj68PD
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP7tjCXlBE
「而且，也根本無從整理起呢。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3Y3oMghIB
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3LkkFbSoP
赫恩乖巧地緊跟著他的腳步，迅速通過了長廊，沿著已經停擺的手扶梯往樓下走。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmCCwIACLv
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLp0CIT0uA
醫院裡的狀況相當慘烈，牆面上的污漬、傾倒的醫療器材等等，看起來非常不祥。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U7WIBUaT2
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIOBAtjJGk
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ldNP7PdBM
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotqradbsWC
閻融爐暴走造成的都市機能癱瘓，把這座城市幾乎所有的電子設備都燒毀了。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhl51ECJI9
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeu5Z3E7Er
那些藉由先進醫療器材延續生命的病人們，在斷電的當下是怎麼想的？而那些剩下的人們沿著靜止的電扶梯徒步逃亡，砸毀不聽使喚的自動大門，互相推擠著、叫嚷著奪門而出。，走在一片漆黑的街道上，是如何的絕望。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIF03VVGVz
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfcuD8ZmcU
赫恩想像著，體會著當時人們的惶恐、絕望。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFtDD05TdK
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKjrLrlWGy
兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE6BaUu8gI
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXNPjrUPrg
赫恩被眼前的景象震懾住了，她僵立在手扶梯旁，許久無法發出任何聲音。眼前的大廳，由於門口被鐵捲門阻擋，缺乏光線而顯得幽暗。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9DT6Zn2sa
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyMjGMF3Ss
但在不清晰的亮度之下依然能辨識出，那是極端非人道的慘狀。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj06ZkRxrA
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBvMWemL4F
在大廳的盡頭有個巨大的缺口，明顯是用炸藥摧毀出的破洞。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQit2IILJi5
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nKkhxhdE2
從缺口處到醫院的出口，這一段短短的空間，卻是最為悽慘的「激戰區」。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuoGlxYdG1
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolVzNDNOTY
崩落的牆面、散落的磁磚、暴露的鋼筋。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA3RTm4rS3
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsguG4w5qB
被機關槍掃過一遍又一遍，坑洞遍布的地面。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2Uxor1tzo

徒留下形狀，散落於各處，無人為其收拾的、人的死骸。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZwINBokbE
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MgM13wiCa
一定是在這座城鎮化為廢墟之後就置之不理了吧？經過了這麼長久的時間，大多數的死屍都會被野生動物拖走、被昆蟲分解掉，然而依然有些痕跡遺留了下來。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDWK2xd5bS
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqaQylFa9M
四周能找到不少燃料瓶的空罐——居然在如此狹窄的室內空間裡選擇用上火焰發射器，光是這樣的行為本身就充滿了殺意。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE5LacisYP
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Pkbb95pZ8
面對能夠將整個大廳的氧氣都燒乾的熱焰攻勢，別說是留下全屍了，那樣就連靈魂都無法得到安寧的死亡吧。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6dy5cF3q2
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80EfNxhUdi
但為什麼要在這樣的地方作戰？甚至還用這麼重的手段？399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzO4zc2UhM
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSuMvjc37r
「依奴？」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcBTDbvJVR

依奴說著，站到大廳的正中央。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhgu5Ey9pU
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI0y3Mu4qu
他彷彿在回味著陳舊血腥的洗禮一般，寧靜地佇立在屍堆之中，不過即使背對著赫恩，她也能感受到依奴此刻的情緒是如何的沉重。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GQrS1p4fu
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwsWYHdCGa
「最後的最後，我們也只殘留下了這點痕跡嗎。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lXdd7jSBs

「庫奇總是走在最前面，最後也死在最靠近門口的位置。還有捨身替象牙擋下了子彈而死去的瑟拉芬。我們之中年紀最大的奧德，他的軍犬席丹。還有潔莉和狼犬水銀。盧瑟是躲在櫃台後面時被打死的，在我身邊倒下的骸還有格里、坎特……」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJrtsQ3Sy3

「沒錯，」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd6tT9Rtfg
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLYcKTpioV
依奴緩緩回過身來，低沉著嗓音，就像回答再自然不過的問題般，輕撫著自己面頰上攀附的扭曲紋路，向赫恩開口：399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5yzFFPBI8
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0mQKRfJmS

她想要任憑這塊沒用地軀殼老去、腐朽，就像沉入骯髒的大海中一般，漸漸被毒物侵蝕殆盡，灼燒肉體、啃壞骨架，分解成寂寞的碎片。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa23ljfopr3

399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn13Y9hbQv
外面傳來了腳步聲。踏在堅硬地板上的敲擊聲實在太刺耳了，她已經快被這種聲音弄到抓狂了。還有耳語！隔著牆壁傳來的，隱隱約約的對談聲，途中甚至還能聽到自己的名字混雜在內，這樣的折磨也足夠讓心靈枯槁了。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnGiPtO3wm
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlZRmeQ6Mn

399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusho7DY9MJ
外面的光線瞬即朝她伸出指爪，譚雅就像被一把白色的利刃穿刺般疼痛地瞇起雙眼，她急遽地朝後方退開，背部重重撞在牆壁上。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ2VsLcliK

馴狗人的超兵計畫，傾向於加強軍人與軍犬的同步性。因為光靠攝影機的偵查效能不佳，而且儲電量會影響作戰時間。如果馴狗人和軍犬本身能夠以無償的方式交換情報，就能大大提升作戰的靈活度，於是依奴這樣的生物就誕生了。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy638ZhlvhI

無論是人或軍犬，任何一方面臨死亡時所經歷的痛楚，都會由另一方承受。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMqu84zWcY
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaymi4h0v8
能夠使生命逝去的方法千奇百怪，無論刀傷、槍傷、斬首或心臟遭到穿刺，無一例外地，還活著的那一方都會以活著的狀態，體驗死亡的感覺。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTKahj67yS
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yqEIfQq1Y
「在多數狀況下，死亡體驗時常刺激過度，讓另一端活著的大腦也麻痺，造成雙方死亡。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvFyNu0CuF

「已經過了好幾年，我的成長加上象牙也會衰老，拜此所赐感應能力已經沒有當年那麼精準了吧。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99GbVkg9yt
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXeDoi7xr5
說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcTXdBqRYV
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6RbFGG3MO
依奴就像是要將餘悸迷濛的不快感清除一般，深深地吸了一口氣。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoetmJ9J27k
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPU0PFJc4A
「胸口被子彈貫穿的經驗，我倒是紮紮實實地體驗了一次。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bjx7uZ9mG
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjbUaYvLUT
由於劇烈的痛楚，依奴瀕死的痙攣讓肉體變成了如今醜陋的模樣。那個當下就連肺臟也差一點失去功能，讓依奴幾乎無法呼吸到足夠量的氧氣。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTbuWILjGa

「這樣的事情已經再也不會發生了。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXNBB8vRbi

下一次面臨死亡的感覺時，就再也睜不開眼睛了。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Kkj5cLIUh
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAekZDwm8LR
值得慶幸嗎？應該感到安慰嗎？至少已經脫離了怪物的行列吧。依奴不善長對一件事情的轉折表現出情感，他習慣默默地接受發生在自己身邊的變化。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVzU8BkRiB
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEvjOfuOIn
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7u7vbzeUB
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VmTkd9Nb3
象牙對自己來說是什麼樣的存在呢？是寵物抑或是夥伴？甚至能夠說是自己身體的一部份吧？但另個層面來看，象牙的存在也不過是依奴過去悲慘經驗的陰影罷了。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IyFAAfzCd
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6zxSgnGkT
他們是那段黑歷史的最後根據。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AwD253heO

此刻連同馴狗人的研究場一同埋葬了。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzszNi9ylCb

赫恩若有所思地凝視著無人的街道。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrwdS7EVC4
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBwfrkro7n
「或許有那麼一點吧，在妳身上找到『自己的投影』。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh6dUfZzBQ
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnDWUaZAEs
依奴低垂著頭，淡淡地說：399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH42SiyzkZ
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTAoQw6mrc
「所以，想要將妳從這個都市中拉出來的心情，我能篤定自己是認真的。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsohpKkYYOq

「依奴當時是怎麼逃出來的呢？」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXcVuaUsff
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwM3fTnglR
「我很感謝『黑色聖夜』。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh35vZ89XnP
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw1wBAHlgU
赫恩對於依奴的發言，露出了疑惑的表情。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqDmI6LOl0
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HOBy8osyU
「黑色聖夜發生後，訓練機構中的警備系統癱瘓，我們率領著自己的狼犬，突破研究室的大門，殺死逃竄的科學家，從警衛手中奪走槍枝。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKR61j8FqR

最後，用炸藥在醫院的地板上製造了通道。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgxECPf9ui

我們是以軍人為前提訓練的孩子，所以要突破一所醫院是輕而易舉。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRQud8BA8T
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJt9HKvF0A
不，正確來說，尚年幼的我們無法拿捏分寸。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz1eaXxoas
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoMepFpeMk
我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItvjQJcPEf
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXz1Tff40S
因此，我們解放了自己的憎恨。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8fqm79qhB
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4TQwJYzKb
不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0HNf50PZT
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONX0qLGeZ0
無數無辜的人死了。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMbd3ndLpz
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVocar091S
要說我們「如同野獸一般」這樣的形容法是不精確的。因為受盡折磨的孩子與遭到囚困的狼犬們，兩者之間的恨意重疊、融合，最後那是跟獸性沒有兩樣的情緒。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgPjSGOaS3
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Or2O47yYv
從牢籠支中掙脫，親手得到了染滿鮮血的「自由」後，我們放手做盡自己擅長之事。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjHZYcCMAw

過不了多久，來自中央發展區的鎮壓軍隊封鎖了醫院，展開肅清。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamQCf8v7iV
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17VKFjebi7
「才會留下這樣的痕跡……」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyeUUspCCL
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc3gravC4m
「嗯，除了我以外，醫院裡沒有任何人生還。長達兩個小時的僵持戰鬥，也讓對方犧牲了將近六十名軍人。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMRYXHiDPx
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsAzaUYpt5
「不過依奴最後成功離開了這座城市對吧？」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiPZe17WBD

「我在邊境遊蕩了整整一個月，最後遇到了倫斯。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvvhZ4wicG
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorxMELjCul
倫斯把我帶到高盧生活，為了讓即使是怪物的我也能生存下去，他帶著我到處去尋找戰爭，從中賺錢。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7k8xiWMVL

「嗯，當時我覺得並沒有什麼不好。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ag6G1IlDS

應當說，他相當感謝倫斯給了他一條新的道路。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKVpAh8Rnm

當生存的選擇從零變成一時，無論什麼人都會欣喜若狂吧。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72mgHerbQX
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhVcEZfkav
最後整個傭兵團被游擊隊吸收，然後輾轉認識了旭夜，才真正了解了自己以前生活的都市。能源局為了塑造這座先進的閻動都市，究竟犧牲了多少外人？時至今日就算再探究也毫無意義，只要明白……閻融爐所帶來的災厄比利益更多就足夠了。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtiVLVg1Sg
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCd2vNlAwT
「但是，」赫恩的話音走到嘴邊，她踟躕地沉默了數秒。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HtPpHYyML
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJDSaUnAgU
依奴的表情沒有變化，不過這副事不關己的姿態，在她眼中早已經藏不住什麼。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2FdIS6XSI

「你為什麼回到曾經逃離的地方呢？」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BsTW3Laxa

由於她的存在，我們這些生存於黑暗之中的人們所期待的「崩塌」才能擴展。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndOxG3NII9

399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyoRlYfxmD
拯救、回報、恩惠、生存價值之類的飄渺字眼，太過銳利了。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj3TqAUFJI
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JhloZapm9
如果把那些語言套在自己身上，那麼黑色聖夜所帶來的死亡，那些直到今日依然徘徊於她的腦海中的働哭與低喃，他們的存在意義又如何？399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZb5HMMMXc

那些聲音，那些死亡。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFoWFcKoK5

屬於「黑色聖夜」的真實只能有一個。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIonXfsiUr

「依奴，我是造成大家死亡的『災難』……」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZycjaJ6gX

赫恩搖晃著腦袋，濕潤的銀白色髮絲因此狼狽地搖晃。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1uygssbTM
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeY0miXoM6
她不自覺地用雙手掌掐緊自己的脖子，試圖讓與上地雜亂思緒窒息。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlSY3Xw9Qb
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4BMBtFZtX
現在衝擊著胸口的這種感覺，是感情嗎？399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rzVf3BD5j

她迷惘地低喃，無法理解如何啜泣的她，只能不停顫抖著。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv1WxQA6NP
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fYTxGBOQU
「如果總有一天，保護著我的依奴也會像那些死去的人一樣，被災難的陰影吞噬掉，在我腦中化為虛無的殘影，這樣的話我不要……」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxcDkCfcVj

她驚愕地抬起頭。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6QPApNMhN
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjWg1mBZV9
下一秒，依奴伸出手臂，將她瘦弱的身體摟進懷裡，赫恩的臉側緊貼著少年的胸膛。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO4UDpeeQZ
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZBQnuZPaU
「聽見了嗎，這個心跳聲？聽到血液撞擊心室的聲響了吧？」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mxdhqqhlv
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy4z5P6odx
依奴低著頭，在赫恩耳際輕與呢喃：399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TdBYExD3p
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5x5uOmpGj
「把視線放在我身上！妳存在的此刻，我和妳一樣存在著。如果妳必須為那些早已無法吐息的死者背負罪咎，那麼現在抱著妳的我該怎麼辦？」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmAMWDonMt
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadUyhciNhV
「可是……」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WumtnxWVI
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63VTlpTkep
依奴將赫恩抱得更緊，令她無法喘息。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFJ09067Es
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzB2kLjQ1R
「妳沒有做錯！自始自終存在的，就僅僅是妳自己而已！別自作多情了！死者就是死者，過去就是過去，妳才沒有背負性命獲罪業的權力！將我從地獄之中拯救之後，接下來赫恩必須拯救的，僅能拯救就是妳自己！不是為了誰，是為了赫恩妳！」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVeUXG3DRI
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GrNqTCJIw
赫恩因為驚愕而睜大的雙眼，隨著少年的話音逐漸恢復了神色。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrKjJao7i0
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfWI4UoF8S
虛脫感在她嬌小的身軀上擴散，就像剛剛從恐怖的惡夢裡掙脫，赫恩輕輕加深了呼吸，不再恐慌地顫抖。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1pfums7So
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iwC7kyRAT
倚靠著依奴的身體，她安逸地閉起雙眸。接著，像是要讓對方知道自己已經沒事了，她發出了微弱地聲音：399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc6pi0B0eV
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcVoAJxbgN
「依奴的胸膛……很溫暖。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs66lYU7JW

「感受到了嗎？」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKkv61LJSe

「嗯，感受到了，活著的依奴，還有活著的我自己。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkuwwmd8tD

所以，已經沒有問題了。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS0CWyLB78
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkwWzNHwW3
微風的低吟填充了對話的沉默，穿梭於曾被砲火責罰過後的都市。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQXWIT7mrN
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZwQZllwdH
彷彿在確認彼此的容身之處，依奴與赫恩感受著對方的存在，試著用這一點點微薄的證明，讓彼此不致於迷惘在這片廢墟當中。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFHbicUSqK
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN04JcZK6pK
不知過了多久，響起的細碎電子音才打斷了他們的沉默。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ8o7d3vSk
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch4rDFukZq
掛在依奴腰際的通訊儀器發出了電碼的頻率。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6bdlD95me
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexD6Habbrx
依奴沒有任何動作，只是緊抱著赫恩，將那段訊息聽完。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq4rATun1z
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKJMtYIzyQ
同樣的頻率重複了兩次，在這之後，通訊儀器再次回歸死寂。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwnI9RRBJ9

面對懷中少女的提問，他一時間無法用任何言語應答。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrU7ZGonA9
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro1IJIdarF
他將自己的臉埋在赫恩肩上，僅限此刻，貪婪地試圖保留那股氣息。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdjKytkgz3
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNv2YI7n9j
「和我一起逃走吧。」他低喃著：399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f38PDsIIb
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zs4xXM9Dw
「摩托車的油已經加滿了，我們繼續向西前進，一天後就能夠出海，從水路離開的話還能逃到其他國家。我們現在就從這片地獄離開，然後再也不要回來。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfHChYzz4l

「地獄——」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBoP6R8ejG
399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvGTxbtvAM
此刻浮現在赫恩腦海中的，並非毫無生息的研究所、虛假繁華的街道、撩亂交錯的燈光，也沒有潰散崩塌的高樓、解體沉降的橋樑或哀哭掙扎的人們。399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTu0K7tomm

「不可以，」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4u9yHRswq

「依奴，請帶我回去吧。」399Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0lAbGhfny
