這場發生於聖誕節的戰爭，最後以能源局的狼狽勝利收場。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS9Ma9q7DU
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6DjycYhal
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofXz3DmHJa
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3Z0KQWzJN
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZc1zAX8df
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtmV8jxWG3
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULzpm23gFE
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjxBVWeGb1
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08JU2JTjwh
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtEYrHRvW9
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOehV0wfCDd
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDmWGbpDnW
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn54Haq7O3
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3ClpX86fS
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSfa6XC2Tv
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtyndIWQKu
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdp6j22yZq
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA2eBsWXeT
同時，從外圍的城市開始響起警報聲。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡampGR4vbjX
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGCB492xBa
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk2dd5OCbc

混雜在紛擾的雨聲裡，黑夜之中傳來引擎沉悶運轉的聲音。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDJKd5CP1z
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2HMMT2L7r
漆黑巷道的盡頭出現了逃亡者狼狽的身影。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBAp2evXeV
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo32pzgtXds
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe82vZN3HsH
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmBZOUzlAJ
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyVR2ADPwx
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIPmD8GkKh
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHTOihOT2e
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58nBi0yRS8
雖然感到不安，赫恩只是靜靜抱著他，不敢多問什麼。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7XFjgkvfm
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowWHz5vygn
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWkTxCIVHF
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ln7IKvDY6
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2no5Z4ngs
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ8zuhjejg
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWsDRlJWcu
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh0Bf11j2P
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDxtaSPieT
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyww71qvqHa
她仰起頭，望向突然間就展開的開闊天空。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMySETm450S
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcuqnKyrrP
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGWwMx1h22
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSyhTbz0hP
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fFqvK2nuk
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ymeZbBxO4
赫恩藉著初晨黯淡的亮度，環視周圍陌生的風貌。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMnbfn6ElM
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmEeLjAGf2
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5KvJueXIh
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0EssmDiP6
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqhiikQf8E
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbheflTdTu
傾斜的鐘塔、荒蕪的小型公園和鏽蝕的郵筒都還存在。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ552jdnUk97
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ORXS9zchZ
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6BEcc1YbS
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT6ouYTYKw
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──368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX2RXFwY7p
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4J7NAV4Xn
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0aJDjDFp1
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDpD3ULJwo
「唔嗚！」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroSkuxQZxB
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMwyJTr3Lq
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEoT4FPzjz
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo0Kr01fMu
但依奴就沒那麼幸運了，摩托車正好壓在他的身上。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa6tmCIbfR
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWQzQJJOQh
「依奴！」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq01nQCvpz6
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncKj4lqNff
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfnb6OqEca
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGJJr7kw50
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY3rCF3hK9
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvEePojGlL
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0eemE4fVE
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKKwFKeX7x
「依奴──」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyOJsasDYH
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCi42a0X9t
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt6CyIkmro
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKCCd66MIe
依奴的面容失去了以往的樣貌。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk3QgUhPGi
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI2tCggSYc
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg2PMuZ2f3
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bm8HzHa7L
不，並不是爐光侵蝕症候群。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TobCLnJ6d
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ix8EUNk9D
感覺不到輻射汙染的氣息。所以，她對於這個狀況無能為力。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqcUz04Gwm
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA8f3mhINv
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93xAdjmvf2
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUWGLxlVDh
赫恩動手解開依奴的外套，將他的衣領拉開。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu4FTJKaBn
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0slSrRfM7
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Zje4EYq4T
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa41zaIrIkv
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTduGXSBf7
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRfB4XTlyo
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3RTYfdAkj
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCaVyrJWqd
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV2ccI3LSe
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ1Vnxz98S
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IfBRIxAfl
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkJa6vQOWs
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCKZxCvXHP
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHqsoZPoC1
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjhKEJbOfZ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwZDuTa9K7
但是現在出現在赫恩面前的，卻是完好如初的舊街區。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhij4bj3J7
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF9hOnKifG
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPAwmbUb35
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO6LwUk5Ta
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjEfDmRW7B
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcsTzLJnm2
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGbuGx44Sh
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOtmMRahXi
回過身去，看向依奴最後停駐的那個地方。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDHEsZdSpn
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXxmewppyM
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0JXvWUieA
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlVisqPCtj
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsak4dCrthe
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTr9wH1oCb
赫恩盡可能地仰高脖子，想看看醫院的全貌是什麼樣子。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNCfv2u9q8
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOxvskgfx9
就在這時，身旁傳來了微弱的呻吟。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5zi1iShzK
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDg90jOdCj
「……唔……咕嗚、咳咳咳！」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZllgAgHyf
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv7XcFZE3j
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3AV2p0J8S
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4fJtUtYx0
他伸手抓緊了胸口一面咳嗽，並且掙扎地爬起。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AnrHmRjdS
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYUedBDLf8
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENfHb0IbIK
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J9hTozLr4
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsZ9gK9flC
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO8l4YRVaD
「……赫恩，妳還好嗎？沒有受傷吧？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuSAisNhia
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMLWOM4uGm
他開口詢問著，但事實上自己的腳步更加不穩。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdMcJyMgUF
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx5UWByQeb
依奴閉著左眼，伸手從摩托車上扯下背包。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7VrNtmEdZ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqxul9zkD0
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoLhlK72Iv
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkITdXgShV
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAoi4VVb0z
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdOwFvZJBL
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutMnwBC5KQ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqgKg6MuVL
「依奴的身體究竟……怎麼了？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabplxSbZvn
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R32xoky2r
「不用替我擔心，看樣子是平安撐過來了。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmdqNwvgWF
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxVjLNTEJ6
「所以剛剛身處在最危險的狀況之中嗎？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkDDwIju9G
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs7Ztyw21A
「我早就習慣了。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t2RjIThZT
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXbMiHpTWB
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C5i131mCJ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTzu0xzTFp
赫恩握著溫熱的杯子，呆呆地盯著依奴看。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXcyUplm8N
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3dTHJElY5
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8fEH2iDPH
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3J2p7NPGd
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iMTR13vId
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzz0DgFRgO
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt62n8qsSCI
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsDUVH0Y6C
「赫恩，覺得累嗎？或者是飢餓？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsURtst27H
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCptVeK1BNL
赫恩搖了搖頭，她自覺不該再提出更多要求了。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJau1VZEVvr
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jlNJeInUH
依奴撫摸著摩托車上的淒慘傷痕，開口說：368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLQTQ1oIf1
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0nmAEHVnc
「我答應過旭夜，只要發生危機，就一定要把妳帶來這裡。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXSYfpInzV
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDttfb87Sse
「這裡是？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiV5vHCqUTA
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHamO2aYAs
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALkOAkfFWc
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb2DUt4kWQ
「為什麼旭夜要你帶我來呢？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjZaGNJ1ef
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNteCDvdrW
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf953FXCzo
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZzasvel64
依奴指了指身後的醫院：368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANUAUmJmFO
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEbl3PqYBn
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnGWdTv317
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2vZVJ65Qs
赫恩似懂非懂地點了點頭，她喝掉溫水，向依奴遞出杯蓋。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2oqaTQSIT
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwH5jnDDGD
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw49AMBdA7Q
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukErPWsLp8
「說在前面，別再握住我的手了。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fLTQQsRJO
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsYCVfUTXe
「不可以嗎？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tdfJBvKqI
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaaw1awHGG
「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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWqIC3VaAa
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQGgMt2SbP
「把杯蓋給我。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgzCLU0qau
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ209ksh4BAS
「就讓我握一下吧。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7Mnt7vqLU
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbTpIeYBV2
「不，別別鬧了，快還我。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmkP6pAnx7
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXH04icsq1
「依奴。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ2ftZl1Dn
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn21meDQVlV
「……」依奴怔了怔，他踟躕沉默了下，才莫可奈何地伸出手掌。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nud1clIqF
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIupfYV5tvt
赫恩緊緊抓住了那隻手，並且向依奴走近。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14VB8jehNi
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4ItIZ8KdL
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vtRjyOjdL
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozB8j6LnQR
彷彿藉此確認了什麼，赫恩放鬆地閉上雙眼。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzWEmjbBcD
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAARSuyXBgR
「溫度回來了。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFGtsWngcI
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGxL9qU3mX
「好了嗎？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiHJOZ4n9Y
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbzuu4vYdH
「再稍微這樣一下子。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAoby6h4wd
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9jgY6L0XV
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWroQGhDidL
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH9DzW6YvH
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazhfM7w6bu
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kxEprj5zq
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──368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAHgp3PW8p
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnCTSnZFSN
「赫恩，差不多了吧。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwGU7O5pBt
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMGpXybYg5
「電量尚未充飽，距離完全充電還有兩個小時。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHx2XAm8gP
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfQoCrW1ZK
「喂。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyiAJBNFAc
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG6O5w7Cr8
「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？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdrWNt4FQN
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GWp4cuojK
依奴不再顧慮什麼，冷淡地抽回手掌。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl9Rmhn3TS
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytuqxZhvwv
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkbjlwlXAq

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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal2BXxWP0W

依奴一腳踏破玻璃窗，穩當地在醫院二樓的走廊上降落。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwmL7tZXDH
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfTQMFZUaj
玻璃碎塊零落地四散一地，在積滿灰塵地地面上刮出痕跡。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznF2iePGnc
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6YEnbIFjn
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRYHXMCdPf
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRSAh55FbW

「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMivHULWXTh

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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxVLVBaSbe
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMYPc3oWeL
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknSSVAFDbr
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sDN2QZFpU
「稍微忍耐一下吧，畢竟從黑色聖夜之後就沒有整理過了，」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfmThE2crK
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3b90fhIgQ
依奴用平淡的口氣說：368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvQOQVHxvG

「而且，也根本無從整理起呢。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDu244U73e

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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOueI4E0hzE
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpCrFIcnoR
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaNDdtTAhf
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCdug2RWm9
她腦中一面忍不住想像著黑色聖夜當時這座醫院的狀況。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnko3zAlrr
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoN6SkNRpj
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbAiebSVYl
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKGkaQ1NS7
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltnOVvvlHn
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gK4yM29So
赫恩想像著，體會著當時人們的惶恐、絕望。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjd8lZvTh7

兩人來到了一樓的入口大廳。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDJQgYcmFH
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmReB4cmXgJ
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9bt3SlROU
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXkNXpIP5m
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5Uh58etYc
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2RkdIp5oz
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2VO7z9sM8
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAV4khTAHK
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」。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8YT6eTapk

崩落的牆面、散落的磁磚、暴露的鋼筋。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGZunXkeW9

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu7ayc6E63
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVisd2w5GB9
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntuFMe6Zf3
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrdbso7ikw
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszodjMM11e
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjShmrTywh
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkvoOnxNRD

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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcsRGygPXS

368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumBpPG2tYX
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fko0zSt0l

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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYvNJerMxU

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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uOTEhEOH2

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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QDQi1DfT8
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpIk4yIBVl
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uhSfrikoe
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqTOFQjZdu
「但是依奴……」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fCiZg6nj8
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTUoaxeV4d
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZYOu8L9Bp
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxmaKRP8xR
說是僥倖也有些太樂觀。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjhDhlJEVy
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17Ok1f5ctY
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG54r9NsyP
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKKRV23ano
「胸口被子彈貫穿的經驗，我倒是紮紮實實地體驗了一次。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8MLsVKnD1
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90O04pAfHM
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xae0rzAJu
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg9hztwew5
「這樣的事情已經再也不會發生了。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH5v5HegBb

世界上最後一條馴狗人的軍犬已經喪命了。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal4uycMLKk
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhHqgVk6Qe
下一次面臨死亡的感覺時，就再也睜不開眼睛了。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOU0uH3Qmm
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsDZFrAgv3
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwayKBA2xS
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeOclBqJtt
即便象牙已經死去了，他也不認為應該感到哀働。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8JEGbdDcl
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGmlf0wogg
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazmbtC16It
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKLNZC10hj
他們是那段黑歷史的最後根據。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYzqAlqw5x
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjXYZn0RnU
此刻連同馴狗人的研究場一同埋葬了。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVgiqfFpzn
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6TXKDUAfM
赫恩若有所思地凝視著無人的街道。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkauf6sslRG
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hE5fF8DIQ
「或許有那麼一點吧，在妳身上找到『自己的投影』。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3ycyRmZ8p
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qxe2m2CDs
依奴低垂著頭，淡淡地說：368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xpRIVNpSp
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpT7xF7mNt
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMqXEwAcGD
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxu1XP4MXL
「依奴當時是怎麼逃出來的呢？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42G06tAy7C
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7fBbNadzS
「我很感謝『黑色聖夜』。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvNi56r0re
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGSevOoGI7
赫恩對於依奴的發言，露出了疑惑的表情。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuKlUK5vZO
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK1Eqlsrz3
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S9bTEYs22
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03wQ3PwRNO
最後，用炸藥在醫院的地板上製造了通道。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcO3Fd6QSt
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIPGmXKVBZ
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW3DktpLQQ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiVrhr4dBd
不，正確來說，尚年幼的我們無法拿捏分寸。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyWTbtl8ae
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOLTxbFXuR
我們還來不及學會如何「正確地殺戮」。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZY8JsTfVo
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48Vsm7b7pO
因此，我們解放了自己的憎恨。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8rwvH6xIx
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyuuCUkeuo
不分對象、沒有目的、只為做而做的掠奪性命。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNgsLtTdYZ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEUSlnMxba
無數無辜的人死了。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv51ZHP7qg
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ2T4wQz8m
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDzheSPnMf
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fqeGCEqV7
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWKGK8SfoU
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLG58doJsm
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9YFBcgBFa
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxRnfNMfZs
「才會留下這樣的痕跡……」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyldVKUDPi
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwnz0jNFT8
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWOMIbIgky
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwdN1PXfAL
「不過依奴最後成功離開了這座城市對吧？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG2fCWS0BC
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHMW9mJZVm
「我在邊境遊蕩了整整一個月，最後遇到了倫斯。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A4gvahvFM
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlii5Vmf1TY
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoZFViT6mh
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxcwOx886e
「也就是傭兵？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVqEEsAM1o
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLG6UuxCL1
「嗯，當時我覺得並沒有什麼不好。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCghYDcDwpU
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5rSJjjesY
應當說，他相當感謝倫斯給了他一條新的道路。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYvF01tDn6
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCF7slEBDw
當生存的選擇從零變成一時，無論什麼人都會欣喜若狂吧。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGYygMO5qN
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZh9tPGqIz
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL07SUlISol
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOdwMoGPuM
「但是，」赫恩的話音走到嘴邊，她踟躕地沉默了數秒。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oDSKVq52m
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwARuJuh5O2
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RDqKYZ2da
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt2Po4fef7
那雙冷漠的眼眸中並不是毫無感情的。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy8mqXtXVo

「為什麼選擇回來呢？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4Zbzna6C7

赫恩就像對著空氣探問般，輕盈地訴說：368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUdC2q9ZrJ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEBwHJRaL1
「你為什麼回到曾經逃離的地方呢？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHO9ETIxVP

首先在鐵檻的鎖頭上敲下第一錘的，是掀起所有慘劇的、純白的少女。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqGK7a1t0m
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYZKb5xaio
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxO9gELiPL
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuq5TaZZmY
那對無從尋求救贖的我們來說即是福音。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMnxHe1N8j

依奴將手臂向後支撐，仰起視線欣賞逐漸開朗的清晨天空。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OfpSOfgHA
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8KjJr9Uf0
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj5w1I1mth
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZmAfcoSVR
自由的意義在於──能夠由自己定義自己的價值。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7ImcKruUT
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbIBNV9pYh
依奴所歸屬的『價值』，僅僅是與赫恩相遇。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoWEGzJaX2

「不……不行。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPDGBAPxuA
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u62mFMW8W
赫恩搖了搖頭，沉下雙眸並且避開了依奴的視線。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqedYBqiZ4U
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ063SovrTxU
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkRoPW0OGb
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha48iNg0FW
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKakEVrm9Na
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLRsj0so6E
拯救、回報、恩惠、生存價值之類的飄渺字眼，太過銳利了。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwkjDei3e5
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDZyPAwwH7
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？368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rlqSPQYXu
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBtyacKC1h
那些聲音，那些死亡。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ5vAt0YKM
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5ICcxVdRD
她能夠擺脫那些混濁的過往，自私地追求自己的解放嗎？368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAuJ5AFCOj
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDampOwduvP
屬於「黑色聖夜」的真實只能有一個。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQkeIgTmly
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaMNqPOa8i
那就是能夠永遠奪走人們笑容的，瘋狂且腐敗的慘劇。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPneth1qzc3

「依奴，我是造成大家死亡的『災難』……」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn1XhuQo4Z
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXMdCbEPc0
赫恩搖晃著腦袋，濕潤的銀白色髮絲因此狼狽地搖晃。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsNlftKLk0
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXGTtmMeL5
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcXcEJHizk
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ0CRRzWGe
現在衝擊著胸口的這種感覺，是感情嗎？368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhCQLss8Gg
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NVTi9wMEB
這就是恐懼嗎？368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuDYeV4M18

「我是不是一直從他人身上剝奪著什麼？就算這樣，你也會待在我身邊嗎？如果我也從依奴身上奪走了什麼，那該怎麼辦？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7HJB22NJy
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2a79jb9f3
她迷惘地低喃，無法理解如何啜泣的她，只能不停顫抖著。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCdcBPSQYh
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdr9RLfOmI
「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……」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT8kTMJg0a
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnrpI4Nmaw
「赫恩，看著我，我還活著！」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS1uZ3hDQM
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVVUhn8AAF
她驚愕地抬起頭。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0yM1fXYcB
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdidhL8myK
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9tzstCD2A
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovfrl7ZQ9q
「聽見了嗎，這個心跳聲？聽到血液撞擊心室的聲響了吧？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e7jatcRHZ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs9HsgrTHC
依奴低著頭，在赫恩耳際輕與呢喃：368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAYrtt8mCj
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAEMb1S0NQ
「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？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhgl595kvd
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQssY3Q31Ja
「可是……」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkMtRvNxi4
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeNQxbyOzK
依奴將赫恩抱得更緊，令她無法喘息。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6QwVjBJ9s
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKutrGdH5O
「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！」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNHIpBdNHF
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCIRoJLGLX
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8UODnLQ46
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b9JXSjf4x
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7amrg5fhvU
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUedry0umI
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：368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tzgka5THi
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48ei9dWihI
「依奴的胸膛……很溫暖。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcadogSYEKG
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktXqrgqIhS
「感受到了嗎？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgooWDnHSCH
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyImMo2kleL
「嗯，感受到了，活著的依奴，還有活著的我自己。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz2wpzAvOx
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NMwQolNLA
所以，已經沒有問題了。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX4i7heABK
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkQjTsuBUt
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEFX0p8i3G
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYgt8NiJ6Y
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y1DMTM8ib
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAIZy1vZLH
不知過了多久，響起的細碎電子音才打斷了他們的沉默。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMrHqJ60ge
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweQF9V5bk4
掛在依奴腰際的通訊儀器發出了電碼的頻率。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF9IR0I5RT
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDGR0PHiAv
依奴沒有任何動作，只是緊抱著赫恩，將那段訊息聽完。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJpa2ujtCa
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ0A46dMIq
同樣的頻率重複了兩次，在這之後，通訊儀器再次回歸死寂。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHz2P8FIsV
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YwnrFctxk
「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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO5QEpWmUc

「戰爭終於要開始了，對吧。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrUURpq9uU

——起點於黑色聖夜。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkpdHkjAvj
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdpPI6RnaE
那些受害者、受益者、得救者、期望者們，將要匯聚在一起。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7fubnALxQ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QSP00Vyoa
在那場改變一切的崩塌無數年月過後——368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzT5AW4IEZ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemCi0ZeDLE
「嗯，沒錯，戰爭終於開始了。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t2c4Wd2dO

「依奴要去當傭兵了嗎？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm9pV36xVX
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJdGR48MhX
面對懷中少女的提問，他一時間無法用任何言語應答。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AxnDEcebL
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVtDuWdmrv
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdG2XE1Glx
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c4vN8nWJH
「和我一起逃走吧。」他低喃著：368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGhwT5f2PF
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEtExDwA2T
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6DCvY4um0
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR0TUKWRba
「地獄——」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVnvGWuB0f
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmiFOrTqvW
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8aGjOtRid
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBgFvBg5Ux
閃過的畫面，只有譚雅那泫然欲泣的表情。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7M5cRmSGu
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHpUwkpnaF
陌生的穿刺感痛擊了她的胸膛。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRnKzq0iRq
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXHAwtxFd0
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuECqbQQZ4
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImGhQtzl5q
赫恩輕輕搖了搖頭：368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydD9v6FBvJ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaC287zUdj
「不可以，」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW4UkqM4Hl

她輕輕推開了依奴的擁抱。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYTZlnO0gN

「依奴，請帶我回去吧。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2K2Bsilo3
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q6NCuvgPH
那或許是她此生至今，第一句最為堅定的話語。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnkZ43RBjk
「崩塌還沒有結束，事情還沒有改變，而我也……還沒有獲得自由。」
