這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y77BCk8Hb
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhMdrfJstL
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5bGRpOUiT
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9kVsjKcYy
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrvnf2Zya7
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZSn0AN7ow
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3vKJoxwc5
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8aCfplAC5
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdFSwUr24h
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAytVqwVQ92
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OGKHLJzM3
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7E2eirZ3N
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl5jXTYi5M
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIV3Ba7GPT
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUw9iOLx4Q
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZYYcXVKwH
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRxMvESGgX
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3t1g4FNMM
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSjVk8Cs5m
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCwaiA6tyl
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3iiNTf8Re

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeYkqhg4th
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUzumn7J2n
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKn9Q308xq
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSUxMY8zgo
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDxKk5RRt0
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtq87fKxBI
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtVJc3txb0
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigrS7fDILR
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFQCoFoyTV
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7DGE9TFMP
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl6WyiJEkK
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6Ibl2HRtK
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmN6ruHYAG
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdwj4gRS9V
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqBI9AJhEp
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz2jtkAGCA
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1x4kof8Za
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhtBtpPXtz
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WHe5GR7r1
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F8Y0w2kqQ
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNvbrEwlid
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rKLCowOdt
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wgJwSDnWC
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcRfg6wDcl
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwHafb8QE0
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfojUPEiFo
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah34jKKeyb
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rigsQspwb
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T5upv5mOt
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9MoQVVkaX
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9jt8NtBI1
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kdf3a5WS7
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6oxHc57A6
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLYGCoD7hG
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99b042LPxP
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVhuRv2z4s
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──349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT4odKVB42
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r7AXhekj0
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjAC5QnBn6
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKoozQs4wM
「唔嗚！」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl4qvBrtBk
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWv1mgh0v1
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkXW3pkvLF
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmQuYNGSBH
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeef2R8iprR
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4Jl4MZGMM
「依奴！」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PhM46yOYa
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAYFfXbbjG
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83r65QxYQX
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah63dllUZa
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqV014Migb
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I1t23IlDE
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYZBX3VQe1
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVzr3kUtvb
「依奴──」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6Is2J2Wqm
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fLoA8p6BZ
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV80wFku3wh
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7EIIWUvRj
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7LWbiqFOF
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPSkSHcZy8
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE2rXXgTOG
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n0p52yHNb
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqi3kmjGeU
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMrvpD3nBk
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjdQe9XMXr
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYRr52MpCt
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddvqoXRD4r
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5hz9y5xMZ
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL9uEvutTt
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHLOGQcI9Z
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2RPHeut9A
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hS7n79CHa
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtCDJZjYrF
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPBBtksxnL
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqTo1TAPYF
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycgFCBgtuo
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNMkeOYLjd
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZYbSkyG7X
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCUTNqfXGe
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hJ1kFXfFn
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1ReMeS8jA
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh0Me1CLFG
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwC5Ax2bAd
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JoUAy7DQ7
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKIIEp3wmV
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y0Vysc3UK
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwS0XfQWJS
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31Zz0XzK0l
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul3S4fIO3N
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhzp9vYAZb
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWnifr1RkY
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWZQlmRQHh
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4n292jErQ
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8Sijw8YbY
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa9ciTLDRY
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhigHt9c3Jv
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHFA3SLymp
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6d9YaLbrc
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX5phwso7O
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5vdgwcYkL
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnjvknGjEJ
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07cxl6VJm2
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz98gtGXDl
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh7xSyaNjR
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1BvRjYVmp
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewp2miWR1E
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYWZpy2Gy7
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkod1t8XO6p
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0VHfOj1HC
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqlPX3O8z2
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIVa9VIIPK
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qkLmvFqOZ
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6iv8veLxh
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9OLRxtmsg
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nsrMrxhrp
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNACROQohF
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA9JKcMiMM
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReAVIPz1fT
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilSbJkbAvd
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTlcwJtCY7
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcfiVUhkLt
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHexkzn4VNN
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WS8AQP5vD
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezmSvODZeW
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Inn1PX9iv
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsk3oMapsy
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXD1dkFWDc
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcROxssXSr
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVzMkDChek
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqTd35f2fA
「我早就習慣了。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8fo3L9uRj
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jZCiIyqlk
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYtucfrkWr
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVwUYjXR60
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjmiD4m5ij
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPbU0utyLJ
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLkdhOqI2N
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYRUmRweb7
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXLFOAL0Vx
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFwetYrckK
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50a4fJqxbG
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9kvDpFGOx
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYTkdL8gFV
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSewDFgKy5
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQOxdIRNyV
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FXxjuvXbB
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEwoHgPuFv
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mwHh4yy3l
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmvFosj8r2
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocMOt2ZBfs
「這裡是？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRezFxs2jEz
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRkmyC2P6K
「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。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpabKIXfct
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOWVH1iGKH
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8NObhQtzr
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQMO7hVaUk
「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。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuWaf2ya6l
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYfDIZcO51
依奴指了指身後的醫院：349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnaZCoVTyC
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1GF9MV0xo
「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。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIOa7TPCeh
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhc0pLJ72Z
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNvb9VKiuL
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WQPcx62vV
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI1RohI17X
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9YDhhUxAo
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbZ7VVJiNg
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqnedwnIii
「不可以嗎？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fJ4yOkqDY
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4eO3UbDw4
「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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SXaQFLmUo
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxlpDcUuRE
「把杯蓋給我。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlkrEM6hW4
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3avQtl9wy
「就讓我握一下吧。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVsUtq2DnF
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxqhsoSnOP
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalOWvvoSTf
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpThBfrXGP6
「依奴。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXIUdebeKY
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxtdycgOy5
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9USL97o22R
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lWwlGEpRT
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt2dAftgFT
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26YWVnoCzs
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdcVz9C9H6
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvgwIIvSxc
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GD1J6oZCy
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv3AKpaF0P
「溫度回來了。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BYhUCL8Kv
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQgDIxzRXA
「好了嗎？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL3rDYkLiU
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GIM3KiXYc
「再稍微這樣一下子。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H6ijGJrCy
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle4ZRUV3ZU
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyIQOP5gaR
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAnugvtHGO
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq4JMXeDrj
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVj3hTdNiE
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──349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zAl1ZZIkb
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsqXkcNzfN
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2hFIxUveI
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbvop4G9D1
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLSvGXw1Vr
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29IF9mk6Fn
「喂。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rj508zRn9
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NSTvhYiqH
「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？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4HgeOMJZq
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILQbZEHpPx
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMx4hF0YnX
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngRSTVtWm4
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv36S6BbXOS

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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXeV85zfAT
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGiUwfA0Kd
依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNof4Ighnh
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ri4u1Fhmt
玻璃碎塊零落地四散一地，在積滿灰塵地地面上刮出痕跡。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoCch3TJFx
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu958E6iMAD
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1ayuToJOW
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VvqZ9rsFN
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUAm8g0pNY
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1us1fPS7FN
「依奴，為什麼要來這裡？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqA1WlgqJf
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHawYTFa7uW
「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。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYrhajfAow
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDN9nAD99J
「旭夜為什麼特別選了這間醫院當倉庫？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym4freio8y
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiVYlNPkwB
「因為只是藏在醫院還不夠安全，物資收在『醫院的下面』。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18sn7kUgGa
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIBbk0sJpH
「什麼意思？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL4IveW4L8

「跟上來。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqb5GKP8Py
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tv5FGWBw6
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GvZagphvC
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFrFJFFdY7
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVoJmX7osL
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxaI2kjRjH
「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA4Fi81ydq
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq5Cy3qAwX
依奴用平淡的口氣說：349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyH1O7piEC
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEPv7mdpkF
「而且，也根本無從整理起呢。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU20NvPuxZ
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cGwVbEsSF
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtk8MWINsq
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmyI3K2ss1
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACHMoXu6LB
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxARYTzN4S1
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfNejZdrD5
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhEDxSPBLf
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWGT7w4NCW
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqddDOUz9b
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72aGJhmVMt
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnV0ViiAus
赫恩想像著，體會著當時人們的惶恐、絕望。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xr3LYZonc
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5EGrVGZSD
兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRjfDLl4l5
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez0JdNn1og
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGy0EzlPVc
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17a3bqVkTR
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXQPcUgKe9
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShuCVmNyXT
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv2BuZ3mMc
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOrWQkC7Un
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」。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81xqyUX5pI
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7HTDHytjG
崩落的牆面、散落的磁磚、暴露的鋼筋。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjIKvvLo8d
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2nhD7W9fb
被機關槍掃過一遍又一遍，坑洞遍布的地面。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cPiEug270

無處不在焦黑的顏色。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPmDpqeTHN

以及遺骨。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASqrrqMKuK
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy57Se9aYj
徒留下形狀，散落於各處，無人為其收拾的、人的死骸。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdPuobYHmU
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc9dRzXcgH
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbZ82b5fYL
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ9JmVJhnz
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfAiEM0prF
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhtRMDau2U
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1sUJsGLDp
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X2Op6V76y
但為什麼要在這樣的地方作戰？甚至還用這麼重的手段？349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ4HblbP6f
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0DW9ZLmGT
「依奴？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0iTvmQVbT

依奴說著，站到大廳的正中央。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXokNI23La6
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCgEBb90Wv
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv58czStSO6
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmFgNtUqfY
「最後的最後，我們也只殘留下了這點痕跡嗎。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9GEA4ookc

349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpPhWRsfeK

349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRFLMPLxz6
「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……」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6LiNh503A

「沒錯，」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLvejPG857
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlzUnZFlZb
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：349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85uZphn1wO

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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02et0itgGx

原來「被摧毀」是這樣的感覺。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHqBXPcXlh

她更加抱緊了雙腿，指甲掐進肉裡，滲出了血珠。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrKNypmb0E
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi85SwZuNtI
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaQPCEkgdH
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKDWe3h3j0
就在譚雅瞪大雙眼，幾乎要歇斯底里地咆哮時，禁閉室地大門被打開。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDkFnCKtqV
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5Z3d1cVSa
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKAODK2pzy

夏克斯露出了令人不快的笑容：349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvHY2GElCm

軍方在這個地下碉堡中，進行「馴狗人」的強化研究。而我們這些腦發育尚未結束的孩童，則做為替科學研究鋪路的實驗品。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2nL0Dxt3l

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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5bdb4g1sz

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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59zmedR30Y
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMje2QEps3w
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM6cNK8fBV
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5tKXYT1hB
「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。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh7rAwHKPt

「但是依奴……」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiE6g22aiE

「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。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVIyHMwqWc
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVKK6Q80a6
說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjLhhtuGOs
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0pTQymUhj
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BP8E09DiC
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3qsM1BDwk
「胸口被子彈貫穿的經驗，我倒是紮紮實實地體驗了一次。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLSacSMrdi
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YzY1sTzQz
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2McOh01go8
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUqWThUWGF
「這樣的事情已經再也不會發生了。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e0XBWR5QW

世界上最後一條馴狗人的軍犬已經喪命了。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULC6vqnTfs
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswLjShEfJV
下一次面臨死亡的感覺時，就再也睜不開眼睛了。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVHHxc8Wlg
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCdK3g4rjw
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlGz3fgnSO
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjbaMfYKSG
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqMIUUF3MF
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqoUJCUdE9
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SqzmtQW3b
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qvXIih7mF
他們是那段黑歷史的最後根據。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgfPoo79Z2
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1GLmsFkJu
此刻連同馴狗人的研究場一同埋葬了。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuflUJK0ho

赫恩若有所思地凝視著無人的街道。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvk0GivqLW
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L1dJymARF
「或許有那麼一點吧，在妳身上找到『自己的投影』。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WsYhZYDTl
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf9uHVtTH0
依奴低垂著頭，淡淡地說：349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwiSJWNVvv
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b5W7Rkijh
「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。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQVe0Xvi8h

「依奴當時是怎麼逃出來的呢？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95u9VN0wfs
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrYcPxNciW
「我很感謝『黑色聖夜』。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQNXLVp1XD
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9IO0aWk4M
赫恩對於依奴的發言，露出了疑惑的表情。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFutxS6ADMu
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb3jYigR5s
「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。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT5UXKHEcE
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUZMdvyVYN
最後，用炸藥在醫院的地板上製造了通道。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cruDwGpEM
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT2uJ7XuGk
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDZjU7fveB
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYan43pdFm
不，正確來說，尚年幼的我們無法拿捏分寸。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnPGv8hSk1
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNLvICA9nc
我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKZ5X5fejj
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUogF9JL2nY
因此，我們解放了自己的憎恨。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUBXdV5oIR
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNSRXsV4di
不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7X3ZvmZRU
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPUeHSSjjZ
無數無辜的人死了。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqBroMSTe1
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK64EucsVLX
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsothv2tMl7
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfwyp9RUfm
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEZX4od5Lu
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXIh1wF7Bj
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPZeKGIT0I
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtWdCCl8IH
「才會留下這樣的痕跡……」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxwW0c9R9c
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Bl6xJTshy
「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。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L48qimi51
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGEZ7tlZVp
「不過依奴最後成功離開了這座城市對吧？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOoCd4xiyK

「我在邊境遊蕩了整整一個月，最後遇到了倫斯。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswCSBaVxnT
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO3TL2TtFk
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNlytl52Hf
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3OQJYWRfM
「也就是傭兵？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIEoXDzOVR

「嗯，當時我覺得並沒有什麼不好。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj5NrRJgxl

應當說，他相當感謝倫斯給了他一條新的道路。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyB4Jderev

當生存的選擇從零變成一時，無論什麼人都會欣喜若狂吧。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsOuDPz5SC
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphzuAGkuyt
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlz91A8KO0
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQXDXJg517
「但是，」赫恩的話音走到嘴邊，她踟躕地沉默了數秒。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnYdH1mlGi
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfi2krTSvO
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQI6zGqiuS
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMnbxU4Z0E
那雙冷漠的眼眸中並不是毫無感情的。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhLosLI0Cm

「為什麼選擇回來呢？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZomVEuH0q1

349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb7PXHvARz
「你為什麼回到曾經逃離的地方呢？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZh5Iw0NG9

349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsQT5ARmA9
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN6G2iTxts
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqafyLpS00

依奴將手臂向後支撐，仰起視線欣賞逐漸開朗的清晨天空。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i7FmIzTcO
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm7by4lvVN
「赫恩，妳就是我的『存在價值』。我是因為妳才活下來的，那麼接下來我要為了妳而活著，我覺得應該如此，而且我也喜歡這個決定。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06mTaApbBZ
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuesrdTp5Qo
自由的意義在於──能夠由自己定義自己的價值。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO82dd60Bja
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LRtDePegb
依奴所歸屬的『價值』，僅僅是與赫恩相遇。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTljeSRmgQL

「不……不行。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss6SRfc5gV
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9dMt9zfgD
赫恩搖了搖頭，沉下雙眸並且避開了依奴的視線。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8ZuvAdNTz
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WCE7kGeCC
「我的存在能夠讓誰獲得自由、值得讓誰來犧牲奉獻——依奴現在所說的話……總覺得好可怕。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtH6erdBxd
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvUHQUZDNU
赫恩瑟縮著身體，凌駕於寒冷之上的理由，讓她畏縮地環抱著自己。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFloqODTVy
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRdgHwc3eC
拯救、回報、恩惠、生存價值之類的飄渺字眼，太過銳利了。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxiVKfKDhb
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Vd1PiIRhM
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？349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD5MKcmzzk
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhaTcfhOxn
那些聲音，那些死亡。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOouOX9xDDY

她能夠擺脫那些混濁的過往，自私地追求自己的解放嗎？349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wzxOL8SFt
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFjKVOv6dO
屬於「黑色聖夜」的真實只能有一個。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SsVmJ8e1R

「依奴，我是造成大家死亡的『災難』……」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrpkrC7Glj
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqXxVxEuwp
赫恩搖晃著腦袋，濕潤的銀白色髮絲因此狼狽地搖晃。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSABBBjKhI
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MEA9TjWyg
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmgEZtGNcE
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK281Atq6Fj
現在衝擊著胸口的這種感覺，是感情嗎？349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr3RX0lGIj
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeif8npZyGJ
這就是恐懼嗎？349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2tFu1IJeS

349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstiyi4MWr7
她迷惘地低喃，無法理解如何啜泣的她，只能不停顫抖著。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5ZQx7TLbo
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6eaNiexVB
「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……」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdzx4WHqvj
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6mptroIQg
「赫恩，看著我，我還活著！」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr2UNF8AuX
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe5iDQThJv
她驚愕地抬起頭。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMhzXG1Z2Q
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCw9ghkcEQ
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCuBot9ZGv
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOWD8aaAUv
「聽見了嗎，這個心跳聲？聽到血液撞擊心室的聲響了吧？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswW1rGidwL
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk7nY4Ytsr
依奴低著頭，在赫恩耳際輕與呢喃：349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DJAxeAR4t
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9B0Wx74Zb
「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？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3l3X7BxWm
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk374ZQ3MK3
「可是……」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aR4IdXLiu
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdiQK3NrJF
依奴將赫恩抱得更緊，令她無法喘息。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnVJ5uS0Uz
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAWcutNJ0k
「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！」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVQJuKRItH
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL3mbWNUhl
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP0Qi9m3nc
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcD2pIHQnQ
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgjSfJz5MA
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd8JOIq7KV
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：349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpK1faXKMM
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJkXvtc8pX
「依奴的胸膛……很溫暖。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4FKzHKqm5
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDdZ1oqZ2U
「感受到了嗎？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyDy6vBCzW
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPudGEc54lH
「嗯，感受到了，活著的依奴，還有活著的我自己。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JccusStYh
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY9eGlMMiJ
所以，已經沒有問題了。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYIcJKhGn4
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt6XfzRXtr
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyvqiJMSLi
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxN9KV5AFv
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnkt89mDpK
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CYNQfDYE1
不知過了多久，響起的細碎電子音才打斷了他們的沉默。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8GRjTJfVx
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLY8IIiyRF
掛在依奴腰際的通訊儀器發出了電碼的頻率。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN72wyuUaR
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMFJGEnJLF
依奴沒有任何動作，只是緊抱著赫恩，將那段訊息聽完。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1UvT1F6uE
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7OyqHjoQs
同樣的頻率重複了兩次，在這之後，通訊儀器再次回歸死寂。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApqeNh500f
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgUR37Zt1I
「是艾瑪利的訊息。」依奴的聲音顯得低沉且無情緒，甚至有些僵硬。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaimMVfTvG

「戰爭終於要開始了，對吧。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQLGEHCSqk

——起點於黑色聖夜。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5RLlLM0KT

那些受害者、受益者、得救者、期望者們，將要匯聚在一起。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI3MQREA5K

在那場改變一切的崩塌無數年月過後——349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5kpOv9mZD

「嗯，沒錯，戰爭終於開始了。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0CC89zaIW

「依奴要去當傭兵了嗎？」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhNUVBgNE6
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCVUY8a0P9
面對懷中少女的提問，他一時間無法用任何言語應答。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qENk0fZCJ
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeuGyBhQxC
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv84IIIcox
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaW8lPutzi
「和我一起逃走吧。」他低喃著：349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlZFkVqfbI
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcgymkVCL6
「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。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBytk7id3OY
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsowGPljNQC
「地獄——」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasmiHM2TRi
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd33tBG68b
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。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS20VeudVN
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7kleVai4W
閃過的畫面，只有譚雅那泫然欲泣的表情。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNLNZQe3K8

陌生的穿刺感痛擊了她的胸膛。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpzDUgaPSI
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKIC51ST8Y
這份尚未命名的情感，刺激著她沉寂的胸口，催促著她去感受。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQv9uytMOp
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusqnSj36ba
赫恩輕輕搖了搖頭：349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRzRrGIY30
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR4FhWevaa
「不可以，」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqa6ZcFsVj
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbNWk8SXfE
她輕輕推開了依奴的擁抱。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjIO3gx7f8

「依奴，請帶我回去吧。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiBC4c3M8h

那或許是她此生至今，第一句最為堅定的話語。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zRHuP3iz0
「崩塌還沒有結束，事情還沒有改變，而我也……還沒有獲得自由。」
