當然,史蒂夫不認為加布麗‧康薇爾會那麼輕易的接受他的這套說法,因為如這個女孩有腦子被B.S.A.A選上,那早就該注意到他哪裡不對勁,甚至在懷疑他。不過最神奇的是照剛才的對話來看,她並不覺得他是壞人,而且很樂意去跟自己這樣聊閒。419Please respect copyright.PENANAkt3ZGbPhaB
419Please respect copyright.PENANALPSppQHoph
她還告訴他自己是在這城市長大,這裡的人都很熱情,住在她隔離的大嬸逢星期二總會烤好一份曲奇餅送給她。419Please respect copyright.PENANAlHjFfdMJ3Y
419Please respect copyright.PENANAnzWQk2TkbJ
可悲的是,那個大嬸與及其他加布麗所認識的人都因為這場爆發變成了活死人。為了活命,她逼不得已要開槍爆它們的腦門。419Please respect copyright.PENANAtW0jgSa9L2
419Please respect copyright.PENANAun9mVnQMAG
聽着對方這些話,史蒂夫不由得想一件事,那麼她住在這裡的父母情況怎樣了? 他想問這問題的時候,心裡有另一把聲音叫他別問,因為那有可能是人家心裡的大傷疤;是說,加布麗倒真的是從頭到尾都沒提及到父母:「你一直都是一個人住嗎?」419Please respect copyright.PENANAeED6Qygl81
419Please respect copyright.PENANAIt5WE0Fyvi
加布麗眨了一下眼睛,眼睛直看着史蒂夫:「嗯……是的,起碼這幾年是一個人過。為什麼忽然問這個呢?」419Please respect copyright.PENANAQBdjcAQnIQ
419Please respect copyright.PENANAz0wnfW2w8v
史蒂夫尷尬地搔了搔頭:「呃……怎說也好,事情發生了就是發生了,現在你該苦惱的是如何結束它。」419Please respect copyright.PENANA2XzBudgADk
419Please respect copyright.PENANA083J7KijSZ
「沒錯……你說得很對,何況那本來就是我的工作呢?」加布麗玩着她手上那印着熊貓臉的水杯。419Please respect copyright.PENANAwFrAWKxm2R
419Please respect copyright.PENANAqSQc93FfZ7
為了不讓這屋子引人注目,兩人用餐的時候並沒有開燈,他們只是從地下室裡拿出個大電筒,用白布包裹着它擺在餐桌上照明。在這樣的光線下看東西不算太清晰,可是史蒂夫還是注意到加布麗的雙眼泛紅,含着淚光;也許,她真的跟自己猜想的一樣,父母已經不在了。419Please respect copyright.PENANAOBaYFXgznK
419Please respect copyright.PENANAOwkTP7aNzo
如果他再不轉移話題,這女孩搞不好會崩潰的:「我們待會輪流到主人房那裡洗個澡,然後你好好休息吧?」419Please respect copyright.PENANAmaSdyAtifd
419Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4hWtRV3KW
「為什麼是『你』? 肖恩,那麼你自己呢?」419Please respect copyright.PENANATtOsEygWoS
419Please respect copyright.PENANADDoeedYet1
史蒂夫愣住了一下,他幾乎忘了自己現在的身份是肖恩:「我……在這裡看門。」419Please respect copyright.PENANAuLpMF3wJnk
419Please respect copyright.PENANAraCZtgHNms
「不行,這太危險了。那些活死人跟B.O.W可是跟一般的生物不同,樓下還是由我來守着吧。」419Please respect copyright.PENANAVqw6asvZgh
419Please respect copyright.PENANARc92ij0Fzt
「不不,你今天應該整天都沒休息過吧? 不好好休息的話可是會倒下來的哦?」419Please respect copyright.PENANA8kdsU2R0lE
419Please respect copyright.PENANAhh9Q4t167P
「可是——」419Please respect copyright.PENANArkxOytlyP0
419Please respect copyright.PENANA0k21v2VGNi
「你今年幾歲?」419Please respect copyright.PENANAUGv4GMIQ3T
419Please respect copyright.PENANAuCgRtfsvYl
「二十六。」419Please respect copyright.PENANAfWQqObN4r2
419Please respect copyright.PENANAyVu86UDsil
「那就更加得聽肖恩哥哥的話了。」史蒂夫燦笑道,「洗完澡就乖乖的上床睡覺吧?」419Please respect copyright.PENANASFAE5Z2XOy
419Please respect copyright.PENANAvgAqjoMnDN
他說完之後還輕輕的推了她一下。419Please respect copyright.PENANAjs036OUY10
419Please respect copyright.PENANASHRFSWmb7s
說實在的史蒂夫說這番話的時候幾乎都不經大腦,是衝口而出的,因此沒有想過加布麗會不會不聽自己的話不上床睡覺。不過貌似「哥哥」這個字眼起了作用,加布麗沒有反駁他,在那之後便走進樓上主人房的浴室洗澡,換了一身新的衣服、把頭髮吹乾之後便上床準備睡覺,完全沒意思把看門的工作搶回來做。419Please respect copyright.PENANAPliuzPkT9u
419Please respect copyright.PENANAdcFlNNzd5D
也是,看門本身就該由男人來幹的,有什麼好搶的。419Please respect copyright.PENANAD4Hd94Rfyj
419Please respect copyright.PENANAYV7Mpqghm2
說起年齡這回事,史蒂夫不怎覺得自己已步入三十,還覺得二十六歲的加布麗像是他姐姐,而且是那種很喜歡嘮叨人家的大姐姐,大概是因為有十五年的時間沒在世上活動過的關係;當然,他沒姐姐,呵呵。419Please respect copyright.PENANAttUTmW4Q1Z
419Please respect copyright.PENANARz8bKsTgN6
在加布麗躺在床上後,史蒂夫也從主人房的衣櫃裡找出些衣服,以便自己洗完澡後換上。419Please respect copyright.PENANANTiuJzCyMk
419Please respect copyright.PENANArtVcFDkvyX
他步進浴室前從洗手盆上方的鏡子得知一件事,那就是艾歷‧威斯克在自己暈倒在實驗室之後給他理過髮——把他那頭快長至及肩的頭髮剪短了,並且略略改變了髮型;後腦勺的頭髮給「鏟」短了,兩側的頭髮則是被剪短、剪碎,像有被電過髮的樣子,髮尾微微往外翹,只要他用些定型水或髮泥隨意撥撥頭髮,就能弄出個很時髦而且清爽的髮型——419Please respect copyright.PENANAN2QM8wpO1o
419Please respect copyright.PENANArKyihYDvP2
嘿! 怎麼艾歷有這個心思給他幹這些?419Please respect copyright.PENANAZjrbxCnHxU
419Please respect copyright.PENANAAOZeE3ll9C
純粹是因為艾歷那神經病般的思維是常人無法理解的關係嗎?419Please respect copyright.PENANACNE6pkaDnt
419Please respect copyright.PENANAezu0wwyY2F
話說回來為什麼到加布麗剛才沒有問他槍傷的事情呢?419Please respect copyright.PENANAWDSC6x7NQY
419Please respect copyright.PENANAsnesGPIRfx
女性的思考模式他簡直是無法理解。419Please respect copyright.PENANA8g3Csj39PP
419Please respect copyright.PENANADUI18HvToH
現在他無法理解的事越堆越多,遲早他不是因為吃子彈而掛掉的,而是因為煩人事過多被氣到暴斃的。419Please respect copyright.PENANAkCjDqfSGyU
419Please respect copyright.PENANAKGLlp1RCD0
史蒂夫洗完澡後換上的是一件「V」字領的白色恤衫,恤衫左肩位置有黑紅色線條所構成藤蔓花紋圖案,以免着涼他也拿了件黑色的防風外套,但是他沒有穿上,暫時的把外套綁在腰間;而下半身他繼續穿着加布麗給他挑的悠閒褲,他討厭先前她給自己挑的悠閒服,但挺喜歡這褲子。419Please respect copyright.PENANABRwOhwLqLu
419Please respect copyright.PENANAuMbu2jKeQT
在他步出浴室的時候,躺在床上的加布麗還沒有睡着,她也貌似注意到他並不喜歡那件悠閒服而感到失落:「肖恩,你確定要一個人守在樓下嗎?」419Please respect copyright.PENANAV2j3ckfHdI
419Please respect copyright.PENANADRMMRYI7J4
「嗯。也許對付那些怪胎我沒你厲害,但是有風吹草動叫救命的本事我應該不比你差。好好睡一覺? 加布麗。」419Please respect copyright.PENANA4nFdO1GwoP
419Please respect copyright.PENANAcoby25w9qg
言罷,史蒂夫便離開了主人房,而他的腦袋不停在思考着件事,那就是加布麗為什麼信任他? 相信他不會對她怎麼樣呢? 替對方給自己治療的時候總該注意到他的傷口康復的速度有點異常,更應該注意到傷口的表面上有一層淡綠色的硬皮才對﹔加上散落在四周的屍體跟槍械,她應該能推敲出這場爆發的策劃人是自己。419Please respect copyright.PENANAPGkmiMK8LK
419Please respect copyright.PENANANBKo9Oz4PD
然而用餐的時候,加布麗卻是用憐憫的目光看着他。419Please respect copyright.PENANA03YA9U7buj
419Please respect copyright.PENANAbJHs1nBQZ0
那眼神,跟當時的克萊兒很像。419Please respect copyright.PENANAk1kOwvhn0g
419Please respect copyright.PENANAQt0enbsCFi
——史蒂夫,你在這地方幹些什麼? 是誰把你關在這裡? 你的家人呢?419Please respect copyright.PENANAuSq5cBQuak
419Please respect copyright.PENANA8e352Ys8pu
史蒂夫的腦海裡回播着克萊兒這段話,一種窩心的暖意就這樣侵佔他的心。419Please respect copyright.PENANAhlNEFMs9E3
419Please respect copyright.PENANA1xDWKk998t
他原先以為沒有人會在意自己的過去,亦沒有人會關心自己為什麼會出現在那裡,因為他刻意地避開相關的話題,盡量讓自己看起來對這一切沒所謂的樣子……但最終克萊兒還是看穿了他,看穿他刻意隱瞞某些事情。419Please respect copyright.PENANA3s09U1J7UX
419Please respect copyright.PENANAI7Cw38oLUJ
「女生的直覺真可怕。」419Please respect copyright.PENANAEi5Q6OTpJG
419Please respect copyright.PENANAtYQ2pTVi6e
那麼加布麗到底從他身上注意到什麼,才對他流露出憐憫的目光呢?419Please respect copyright.PENANA7DkmGoP5Yo
419Please respect copyright.PENANAgddaGAXZ28
怎麼說也好,加布麗對他毫無敵意這是事實。419Please respect copyright.PENANAPasKCokIMG
419Please respect copyright.PENANALgqHF5pZCb
史蒂夫期待之後的時間裡,加布麗能像克萊兒一樣會開口問他相關的問題,讓他不用再編寫謊言去隱藏那段黑暗的過去。419Please respect copyright.PENANAy2s11AqRzu
419Please respect copyright.PENANAmXvMYvt37k
不過期待這碼事永遠只有失望的份,所以……呵呵,還是算了吧?419Please respect copyright.PENANAC9xGFPLlmp
419Please respect copyright.PENANA7J8ovG2WbU
自己還是乖乖的當好「肖恩」這個隱蔽青年好了。419Please respect copyright.PENANA22TI3mL4HZ
419Please respect copyright.PENANAoznXAAH3R0
史蒂夫走到屋子的下地室,搜搜看有沒有什麼可用的物資。419Please respect copyright.PENANAtyto7PJ6Bb
419Please respect copyright.PENANAiuKJNcrP2r
在一大堆的雜物裡,他找到了一條皮帶、一對半指的皮革手套、蝴蝶摺刀,他想都沒想就解下綁在腰間的外套,把外套穿在身上,然後把皮帶繫進褲子上,雙手戴上手套後把摺刀收進悠閒褲的袋子裡:「這家人還真藏了不少好東西。」419Please respect copyright.PENANA8C6kEsuROz
419Please respect copyright.PENANAkdfoK6pUPF
史蒂夫說着,邊對着空氣揮着拳頭、踢腳,自己玩夠了才停下來。419Please respect copyright.PENANABMEWGOCT1t
419Please respect copyright.PENANAPCkLjsOZKO
「還有什麼東西能用呢?」他站在原處思考,在想自己還缺少些什麼物資,「啊,腰包跟槍套。」419Please respect copyright.PENANAZbIeRv3rd6
419Please respect copyright.PENANA0tMEQix5CU
然後他再次翻動着下地室的紙箱跟雜物尋找着相關的物品,槍套沒找着,不過找到了一個褐色的皮革腰包,他把腰包扣在皮帶上。419Please respect copyright.PENANALzAymZ5vWc
419Please respect copyright.PENANAGjNRNZTHzs
史蒂夫回到客廳去,可是第一時間不是坐在沙發上發呆,而是跑到玄關的鞋櫃裡找靴子。對,他忘了要找雙方便他奔跑的鞋子。419Please respect copyright.PENANAj4o28SIAtL
419Please respect copyright.PENANAyoP63tTo9C
他從來都沒想過自己如此光明正大的「拿」人家東西用。419Please respect copyright.PENANAIvIeKtI3Vr
419Please respect copyright.PENANAsW5SXS8kMJ
要用的東西基本上都準備好了之後,史蒂夫哼着小調玩起了摺刀來。419Please respect copyright.PENANA6l7jejhMmB
419Please respect copyright.PENANAdZQqVjHW3w
時間已經是凌晨四點,但他完全沒有睡意,精神得很:「總覺得自己忘了些什麼……是什麼呢?」他開始查看自己身上的裝備,良久才注意到自己遺忘了一樣相當重要的東西——那就是艾歷給他留下來的透明手機。419Please respect copyright.PENANAkOEgIdXmM1
419Please respect copyright.PENANAp97tFbwtVf
史蒂夫開始檢視這手機,這部先前能解開密碼鎖、能破解商場保安系統的神奇手機,現在已經變回一部普通的手機……認真地說起來也不普通,它可是從十五年前的一塊硬膠進化成沒按鍵的……強化玻璃;他人確實是在二零一四年嗎? 確實不是在電影廠的道具房裡嗎?419Please respect copyright.PENANASEadmSEDAD
419Please respect copyright.PENANAajVBGMghU3
他撥弄着手機,唸着屏幕顯示出來的軟件名字:「瀏覽器、音樂播放器、收音機、電子郵箱、聊天室、新聞跟天氣預報……我呿,這是現代手機的基本配套嗎?」419Please respect copyright.PENANAtYso94mzTJ
419Please respect copyright.PENANAgYcoQAvPQK
人倒沒怎進化成功,但是手機倒是進化了不少。419Please respect copyright.PENANA3cC3y3wmMb
419Please respect copyright.PENANAz3dWBBRz49
他瞄看手機右上角的訊號條,訊號良好。419Please respect copyright.PENANAWRuoc9hk3m
419Please respect copyright.PENANAUFs8ky7cGa
為什麼不廢除這電話號呢?419Please respect copyright.PENANA3y5saUof8U
419Please respect copyright.PENANAmCs2bk33HY
「艾歷‧威斯克,你目的究竟是什麼……」419Please respect copyright.PENANAKPXzqKi6E9
419Please respect copyright.PENANAAO2sjCZnDX
史蒂夫望向窗外,腦海裡回播艾歷的某段話。419Please respect copyright.PENANAIpDGG0X1Is
419Please respect copyright.PENANAkNXFNTYq71
——你不用太擔心我會對雷菲爾德小姐做些什麼,我從一開始就沒打她的主意。419Please respect copyright.PENANAPRKN8AI3bI
419Please respect copyright.PENANAf22diBtcq4
一開始沒有,不代表後來沒有。419Please respect copyright.PENANAb9deJOeN71
419Please respect copyright.PENANAGqP4PK0Ai1
「艾歷,要是你敢打克萊兒的主意……我會用自己那隱藏着的野性擊潰你。」419Please respect copyright.PENANABM6CxGyMBy
419Please respect copyright.PENANA9XN2aVJwpq
史蒂夫把手機放回褲袋裡,他沒注意到自己那一瞬間的憤怒給身體帶來怎樣的變化。419Please respect copyright.PENANA3YXjhZF5xq
419Please respect copyright.PENANAwurZugrvAN
419Please respect copyright.PENANAJI4URpDX0w

419Please respect copyright.PENANAYE4De1pPQR
419Please respect copyright.PENANA5NqhmY8dtF
419Please respect copyright.PENANALdbvJy0Ayk
主人房傳出了電話鈴聲,但沒過多久電話就沒響了。419Please respect copyright.PENANAOo93UIb0IG
419Please respect copyright.PENANAHFYr0CJePW
史蒂夫回首望向通往上層的樓梯,但沒有意欲衝上去向加布麗追問,因為……他已經聽到了。419Please respect copyright.PENANAlRiMmd52aH
419Please respect copyright.PENANAnBQCIq8RtO
419Please respect copyright.PENANA1XQtHFRSJ8
——他的外表特徵?419Please respect copyright.PENANAQQK4EyO2jY
419Please respect copyright.PENANA5KloPBFcsM
——男子,照他的口音聽起來像是美國人,約二至三十歲之間,紅髮。419Please respect copyright.PENANA9tA9HDgH6V
419Please respect copyright.PENANAXbGnCTahDd
——加布麗,我能拜託你一件事嗎?419Please respect copyright.PENANAFnIAlAObRY
419Please respect copyright.PENANAbh6hCkXye0
——隊長請說。419Please respect copyright.PENANAlGI0P2OPOj
419Please respect copyright.PENANAL2tKSgU85Y
——請務必替我看好那個人,並把他護送回來。別讓他察覺到你的目的,因為這會讓他馬上離開你的視線範圍,你聽明白了嗎?419Please respect copyright.PENANApvge71TewY
419Please respect copyright.PENANAuuOZwrKRnp
419Please respect copyright.PENANAivg9ZzYjbG
這個女孩,是一開始就在裝信任他嗎? 果然女孩們的心思男生是不會懂的。419Please respect copyright.PENANASwF9n7QNGf
419Please respect copyright.PENANAWxCbYPn7yb
史蒂夫雙眼的焦點鎖定在樓梯口,他想走到主人房的門前等着她,看她發現自己一直站在門外時會流露出怎樣的表情。不過他最終沒有那麼做,因為在那之後有別的東西把他的注意力給引開了。419Please respect copyright.PENANAd87sLKTcbf
419Please respect copyright.PENANAcNeq6Kur9c
有什麼東西墜落在後花園裡了。419Please respect copyright.PENANAQliq8PITJx
419Please respect copyright.PENANAL8oDnLMAqb
他隨即奔到後花園,然後發現有個小降落傘掛在花園的樹上,而傘下方綁着個鋁皮箱子。419Please respect copyright.PENANAJLRLTtYLgF
419Please respect copyright.PENANADXSMaUxXDF
一開始他有點猶豫是否該把那箱子給解下來,因為沒準裡頭裝的是一顆炸彈,但當史蒂夫看到箱子上頭的三位密碼鎖時,馬上就知道這東西是那個人送來的。419Please respect copyright.PENANA1GHdtW0iko
419Please respect copyright.PENANAAXvyd7VKH5
同樣注意到有東西墜落在後花園的加布麗也趕來了:「肖恩,我看見有什麼東西掉下來了。」419Please respect copyright.PENANA6Gbm2hyET6
419Please respect copyright.PENANAzEO204poUK
但史蒂夫無視了她的存在。他冷靜地解開綑綁着箱子的繩子,然後慢條斯理地把箱子放在地上。419Please respect copyright.PENANAdszg4dQ7b1
419Please respect copyright.PENANAwwBDoBg3me
「裡頭裝的是什麼?」419Please respect copyright.PENANAcfmvMlgH8B
419Please respect copyright.PENANAb5rsFriVHd
史蒂夫看了一下加布麗,但是依然沒有理會她,只是在默默的撥動着密碼鎖。419Please respect copyright.PENANAIjIe2XPw7U
419Please respect copyright.PENANAompjnXRYHE
在他把數字調成*「267」的時候,鎖啪的一聲開了。419Please respect copyright.PENANACwDoxZqs7y
419Please respect copyright.PENANA9EbF80PcTz
箱子裡裝的,一把型號看起來有點古舊、用黃金打造而成的小號霰彈槍與及專屬槍套。槍的表面上還有些特殊藤蔓的花紋,那些花紋跟槍身不同,它們是用銀來打造的;那些銀色的藤蔓牢牢纏住槍柄並伸展到槍口位置……簡單來說,它漂亮得像博物館裡的藏品。419Please respect copyright.PENANA866Zl4bXR5
419Please respect copyright.PENANAWQ78xdmdJF
看着它,史蒂夫就想起當年在艾斯福特大宅裡找到的那兩把黃金魯格。419Please respect copyright.PENANAvOqG0pMFzX
419Please respect copyright.PENANA8lEWypbRmx
那麼說——419Please respect copyright.PENANAmdycNlYfrZ
419Please respect copyright.PENANAjW6qiWtlLb
艾歷知道他曾經用過那兩把黃金魯格?419Please respect copyright.PENANAicgW9YlmBA
419Please respect copyright.PENANAT80ln6U6vd
史蒂夫拿起黃金霰彈槍:「他不可能知道的……」419Please respect copyright.PENANABweG5QIC0o
419Please respect copyright.PENANAqr6aG6ZqxF
一直站在他身後的加布麗拿起了擺放在槍套下方的便條唸了起來:「給S‧B: 去*『埋葬』你的過去。」唸完,加布麗把便條紙塞進他防風衣的口袋裡,「肖恩,別告訴我你是政府派來的特工。」419Please respect copyright.PENANArBpSgJXtrx
419Please respect copyright.PENANAEyefc8P86Y
他藍綠色的雙眼對上對方那褐色的眼睛。419Please respect copyright.PENANA7Xc8FFbUPx
419Please respect copyright.PENANAqOj0RYvN0k
「我只能說——」419Please respect copyright.PENANAFf3n5DjVwo
419Please respect copyright.PENANAi6cVWfG1vX
「說?」419Please respect copyright.PENANA3NwZQBovvE
419Please respect copyright.PENANAQcSaaU0aio
「趴下!」419Please respect copyright.PENANAC7QseedfJo
419Please respect copyright.PENANAvXSCUYLeqS
他舉起黃金霰彈槍,往加布麗的身後開了一槍。
*267: 這是官方遊戲中《聖女密碼》裡史蒂夫的囚犯編號。419Please respect copyright.PENANAMgZVTv5vUs
419Please respect copyright.PENANAkRomYBHSN1
*「埋葬」: 是出自官方手機遊戲《Clan Master》裡的武器,名字為「埋葬」。整把槍的設計跟原作《聖女密碼》中通關及可使用的黃金魯格類近,然而《聖女》中那套黃金魯格的名字為「沉默」。(已經忘了自己在哪得查得的內容,但是記得此名的原因是,要是拿了這兩把魯格,就會啟動所在空間的機關,令困在裡面的人永遠「沉默」。P.S. 如無意外也是在那手遊裡得知的。)
