工坊外那異樣的寧靜伴隨一股莫名的寒意湧上了梓承的心頭。492Please respect copyright.PENANAyUy3toQiPz

為了搞清楚情況,梓承從後街走到石板街上,卻發現街上的店鋪全都門窗緊閉着。街角的時鐘指着下午三點二十分,本應在這個時間人來人往的石板街這時竟然空無一人,只有淡淡的霧氣猶如白紗一樣纏繞在濕滑的路面。492Please respect copyright.PENANA1Db06KUEXw
492Please respect copyright.PENANAURfNaLEUsI
梓承額角滲出了汗水,他突然想起某公司的恐怖遊戲大作。492Please respect copyright.PENANAdVp9XdaDgy
492Please respect copyright.PENANAATGpkIq1rq
那遊戲甚至一度被拍成電影,講述主角闖進被濃霧覆蓋著的小鎮,卻發現整個城鎮的人都變成醜陋的怪物……492Please respect copyright.PENANAMTS4GqQHsm
492Please respect copyright.PENANAO7KeUoFaNX
不會吧……從競技場世界變成恐怖遊戲……492Please respect copyright.PENANAKGEesqMnwm
492Please respect copyright.PENANAO1rz9Zukou
「有沒有人啊,喂!」492Please respect copyright.PENANA25XkEJsf3M
492Please respect copyright.PENANAYzNeFWJXTe
梓承大喊了一聲,在街上尋找可能經過的途人,但回應他的依然只是一片的寂靜。但就在猶如被白紗後的街角,有一點棕色的事物在搖曳,那大概是某個人的衣角?492Please respect copyright.PENANAwJzyM5889P
492Please respect copyright.PENANAsOZrNraHzc
「等等!」492Please respect copyright.PENANAuPey9tfDFf
492Please respect copyright.PENANAvAeoydkGi2
梓承一邊呼喊一邊強忍着內心的恐懼於懷疑追了上去,但在走到飲食街附近就失去了對方的踪影。492Please respect copyright.PENANAuZLYDMNpbw
492Please respect copyright.PENANAgBMbubXLhA
就連平日最熱鬧的飲食街好酒吧街都重門深鎖,整個城市的人就像是憑空消失了的。492Please respect copyright.PENANAea5ucbLHQO
492Please respect copyright.PENANAKxj4N13NRG
————難道,這是夢境?492Please respect copyright.PENANAoIb4rWiAsh
492Please respect copyright.PENANA7vrBYeXImw
梓承用力捏一下自己臉頰,但痛楚卻證明了他並非身處夢內。492Please respect copyright.PENANAiwrGSFJlSk
492Please respect copyright.PENANA3OZX8dg0ZJ
就在他百思不得其解的同時,一陣歡呼聲從遠處穿了過來。492Please respect copyright.PENANAbTgZ6YQzy9
492Please respect copyright.PENANAFSd38SxIGd
那是他來到赫澤爾頓之後從來未曾踏足過的區域,位於商業區最盡頭,鄰近領主府的競技場大街。492Please respect copyright.PENANABs3GiVVn7t
492Please respect copyright.PENANAAPhGeQFEui
隨著梓承走近競技場大街,人們的歡呼喝彩聲亦越來越響亮。492Please respect copyright.PENANAjUEdUf9omN
492Please respect copyright.PENANAVUzkmO8SWi
最後在一條小巷的盡頭,他看到下面的競技場大街黑壓壓的站滿了最少幾千人。一名身穿金色和紅色衣服的男人拿着捲軸朗讀,每一次他稍微停頓,人們都會報以震耳欲聾的歡呼喝彩聲。492Please respect copyright.PENANAdg0AJc5VYw
492Please respect copyright.PENANAklKWDeD3VM
「領主大人萬歲!」492Please respect copyright.PENANAhcOR0DJlLO
492Please respect copyright.PENANA0iiJ6Ib0wZ
他向着人潮的方向靠攏,終於在一個能夠聽到朗讀的男人究竟在說什麼的位置停下腳步。492Please respect copyright.PENANACU07q57phK
492Please respect copyright.PENANAnH8NR74Kom
「赫澤爾頓能夠連續二十年豐收,作為領主,我對這城市的高度繁榮穩定感到欣慰。這是我們透過競技場向上天展示價值所獲取的空前成果!」朗讀的男人說得一臉正氣,猶如領主本人親臨現場一般。492Please respect copyright.PENANAHDFkcH1AJo
492Please respect copyright.PENANA83vVlWRsZu
「對啊!這些都是我們鬥士們辛苦換來的成果!」492Please respect copyright.PENANAL6Nd4YGekJ
492Please respect copyright.PENANApFN9RM49W5
「領主大人最明白事理!」492Please respect copyright.PENANAq4XAJbiiYk
492Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9EFHXw6Sb
那些圍著聽朗讀的鬥士們顯然已經聽得情緒高昂,但相反,在街上另一邊的普通民眾卻對此反應冷淡,只是面無表情的站在原地。492Please respect copyright.PENANAtMx9PDq7lx
492Please respect copyright.PENANAmaHF2F0MDW
「這些年,我們一直堅定不移地走在這條和平發展的道路、堅定不移的維護世界和平、促進共同發展。」朗讀的人頓了一頓,等歡呼的人們稍微安靜下來又繼續道:「但過去幾個月,我們經歷了前所未有的嚴峻挑戰。競技場比賽的參加人數,尤其是鋼鐵和黑曜石級別的參加率跌至歷年的新低點!」492Please respect copyright.PENANACMcnHOCTAi
492Please respect copyright.PENANAGbDj9gSKri
朗讀領主話語的男人語氣突然一改,變得非常嚴厲,讓原本在歡呼的鬥士都靜了下來,臉上的神情亦慢慢變得凝重起來。492Please respect copyright.PENANAMSfsjCKQrK
492Please respect copyright.PENANAx3NIWLeYmi
「市民面對這個情況覺得痛心、焦慮、失望,甚至憤怒。我,拉姆贊 · 霍克(Ramzan Hawk)作為領主,實在是責無旁貸。經過一段時間虛心聆聽各方意見,我們終於找到了一個方法為我們的城市帶來轉機,讓我們一起堅守競技場系統、維護祈願制度的核心價值。」492Please respect copyright.PENANANFWY6ILZHA
492Please respect copyright.PENANA8i9R67R68O
話說至此,在場所有人都感到領主即將宣布非常重要的事情。只是當時在場沒有人想到,接下來的幾句說話竟然會導致無數人失去性命,甚至徹底改變了整個世界。492Please respect copyright.PENANApGq6XYPo9p
492Please respect copyright.PENANAb8dOtXhSUK
「赫澤爾頓的人們憑着毅力和智慧,多年來藉著競技場渡過了不少風浪。在經過與官員和商界的諮詢後,我決定在這裡正式宣布實施『強制性參賽法案』!凡超過十八歲以上或六十五歲以下人士,必須每個月最少參與三次競技場比賽。違例者將會被罰款,重複干犯罪行者可被判處監禁,最高刑罰為監禁十五年。」492Please respect copyright.PENANA3EioUn3Txr
492Please respect copyright.PENANAVp98GvnbyD
朗讀的男人話音剛落,街上的鬥士們和普通民眾都同時爆發出震耳欲聾的聲響。492Please respect copyright.PENANArqQKg9TFSC
492Please respect copyright.PENANA2QCh5jFK4c
「這法案合情、合法、合理!領主大人萬歲!」492Please respect copyright.PENANACuynlfy6QZ
492Please respect copyright.PENANA4RulLudFKc
「用法例強逼人參賽也叫合理?你們這些鬥士是不是有病呀!」492Please respect copyright.PENANAHdv1RDYYHX
492Please respect copyright.PENANA178ZFdMu3b
「太好啦!這樣競技場就會活過來,我的生意就能繼續蒸蒸日上啦!」492Please respect copyright.PENANAemHIe6iSQ3
492Please respect copyright.PENANA1svrjFF29V
「六十五歲以下就要參賽?我這副老骨頭會被年輕人打死啊!」492Please respect copyright.PENANAeDx1Wyfnsl
492Please respect copyright.PENANAFYKH07N6iA
大街上的人你一言我一語,正反雙方意見的人對法案爭持不下。492Please respect copyright.PENANAscR0cPu6Lk
492Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZLR5CEiKu
這時候,一名三十多歲的男子把朗讀的人拉開,然後站在原來的位置對民眾大聲疾呼:「這樣的法例完全不合理!拉姆贊領主根本沒有理會傷病以及年老的人!強行將他們推上競技場豈非是要他們送死!」492Please respect copyright.PENANAlVpbdw3Qwv
492Please respect copyright.PENANAgr1D43Lntz
男子的嗓門極大,讓在場部份的人鼓起勇氣附和起來。492Please respect copyright.PENANAkduqaClN4G
492Please respect copyright.PENANAm9fARgfliU
「對呀!這根本就是為了抓肥羊給那些鬥士宰殺!」492Please respect copyright.PENANAD1nsvExZ3A
492Please respect copyright.PENANAG36KWsAsaD
「放屁!如果沒有我們在競技場打生打死的拼搏,你們早就餓死了!」492Please respect copyright.PENANACGTTV9NTWc
492Please respect copyright.PENANAmSO7W9I0oq
「對啊對啊!連續二十年豐收都是靠我們鬥士的付出!蛆蟲不參加比賽又要分享成果!」492Please respect copyright.PENANAj9Bh18AtCG
492Please respect copyright.PENANA2oHSPRWwBx
支持和反對法例的雙方越辯越激,開始在人群中互相推撞起來。492Please respect copyright.PENANAiWk75tLII5
