赤柱監獄水飯房二十六號倉。280Please respect copyright.PENANAvtTxHt8GBW
280Please respect copyright.PENANAd1DUd1JZwN
十塊肉團在拼湊而成的「鍵盤」上飛快地遊走着,那只能勉強叫作「鍵盤」,因為上面的按鍵全都是混亂的狀態,本來「A」的地方變成了「B」,然後有三個「Y」與四個「Z」。280Please respect copyright.PENANAyHgv23RwlA
280Please respect copyright.PENANAk1oYuqS74Z
然而在螢幕上顯示的也不是甚麼可以閱讀的東西,而是重複又重複的一堆符號。280Please respect copyright.PENANAQAeU9bvxTp
280Please respect copyright.PENANAuKo8SEkZII
「阿水你這傢伙又替我在外面開了幾張空頭支票……甚麼『黑幫老大會躲在哪兒上大號?』、『明天股票升還是跌?』、『女朋友有沒有瞞着自己與前度私訊』……還不如去問問『白羊座今晚的運程』及『有甚麼巴士過海不塞車』啦!」肉團的主人怨聲載道。280Please respect copyright.PENANAhzqBv9k9Br
280Please respect copyright.PENANA667qjIuhF7
「每天可以問多過三條嗎?」在隔壁的囚倉傳來阿水──劉貽的聲音。280Please respect copyright.PENANAMfvN71PimG
280Please respect copyright.PENANAeY5JfzTIFt
「當然不行啦!每天限問三條!有配額的呀!」男子穿的黑色背心下是頗肥胖的身軀:「你真的以為我是那『無所不知』的水飯房幽靈嗎?」280Please respect copyright.PENANAVSOA65XWUu
280Please respect copyright.PENANAsHIhB6sbCT
「你不是嗎?」280Please respect copyright.PENANAreM9wzbkYp
280Please respect copyright.PENANAVQgzXF34kQ
水飯房幽靈為之氣結,反了反白眼說:「我是!但我又不是!總之你在浪費我每天珍貴的配額!」280Please respect copyright.PENANAKEInBnMWld
280Please respect copyright.PENANAy8A8pofsvz
「我無意冒犯,但這些都是很重要的兄弟……」280Please respect copyright.PENANAv7ppBkw0fZ
280Please respect copyright.PENANAYBDDdqgNhc
「我知道我知道!我們要離開這兒、實行計劃還得依靠他們嘛!」280Please respect copyright.PENANAjoHgWWsCXs
280Please respect copyright.PENANAmvLGrXmSQV
「沒錯……」280Please respect copyright.PENANA5Swisv8yF3
280Please respect copyright.PENANAeXyz4YkCHO
「為甚麼今天害羞鬼的反應那麼慢?」280Please respect copyright.PENANAMvgS07ulo1
280Please respect copyright.PENANAn6ubHHX3xB
良久。280Please respect copyright.PENANAovnsqnygZc
280Please respect copyright.PENANAqXBtbWbe7C
「是呢!」阿水見幽靈沒有再出聲,便再問:「發生了甚麼事嗎?」280Please respect copyright.PENANApxcErVlZd6
280Please respect copyright.PENANAQbheto7HAp
「是……」幽靈的聲音變得很不確定:「真的出了事。」280Please respect copyright.PENANA9qKZXMwNFp
280Please respect copyright.PENANA4qwhnGJNYl
「甚麼事?」280Please respect copyright.PENANAQuVXGC4dlZ
280Please respect copyright.PENANAOQ6oQarvXE
「一九七二年慕尼黑慘案……」他的嗓子在震動着。280Please respect copyright.PENANAEMw0C82y5l
280Please respect copyright.PENANAYpdugz8ZT2
阿水有點不安,他的記憶很模糊,但仍然對慕尼黑慘案有些印象。280Please respect copyright.PENANAGF2MIxJxBN
280Please respect copyright.PENANAqbJtOQ6Lbq
「人類總要重複同樣的錯誤……」280Please respect copyright.PENANAGivKPyJSvu
280Please respect copyright.PENANAFryKy3W4GD
「甚麼?甚麼嘛?」280Please respect copyright.PENANAEKnM2KBEHo
280Please respect copyright.PENANAOCMZncdADf
「明天即將舉行的韓國釜山世運會……祖國的代表團將會受到恐怖襲擊……」他打從心底顫抖,口齒不清,阿水幾乎聽不清楚他在說甚麼。280Please respect copyright.PENANA2aK0cZHtrA
280Please respect copyright.PENANAjbcZ8XghWk
「祖國?你的祖國?朝鮮!」阿水也嚇了一跳,因為他隱約看到事情的嚴重性:「那是真的嗎?還是只是暗網中穿鑿附會的陰謀論?」280Please respect copyright.PENANAtRI79cQQLG
280Please respect copyright.PENANAOXgyISie9U
「不,這是害羞鬼透過馬里亞納深網的一個子集告訴我的。」幽靈終於冷靜下來,嘆了口氣說:「我們要提早實行那個計劃了。」280Please respect copyright.PENANAdZj8c5TayZ
280Please respect copyright.PENANADlJxSbUn3u
「反雞蛋仔行動?」280Please respect copyright.PENANAnbSdEiEdxN
280Please respect copyright.PENANA1Z1Op3fWTv
「我要暫時『消失』一會兒作最後準備,兩個星期後你再進來水飯房吧!」280Please respect copyright.PENANA5rh8A9K2eB
280Please respect copyright.PENANAVwyxnFLqWJ
「反雞蛋仔行動?」葉向東問。280Please respect copyright.PENANAtnD2zEWP5V
280Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2uWaFCedB
「雞蛋仔行動就是雪姑七友想出來的鬼主意。」害羞鬼聳了聳肩說。280Please respect copyright.PENANAU4RBpkSgH7
280Please respect copyright.PENANAxaocSeGCtp
「雪姑七友!」這四個字刺激着葉向東的神經:「那幫唯恐天下不亂的犯罪分子!沒錯,你也是他們的一分子!原來水飯房幽靈也是,阿水也是!」280Please respect copyright.PENANAtbpjTKVrqQ
280Please respect copyright.PENANA5MyOpsRxbE
害羞鬼搖了搖頭說:「『害羞鬼』的確是我幾經辛苦滲透他們組織後得到的代號,但不代表我就是他們的一分子……更莫說水飯房幽靈與阿水那群烏合之眾,更不是他們的人了。」280Please respect copyright.PENANAZTSpYwH6wh
280Please respect copyright.PENANASdjIjlgqnZ
「為甚麼?」280Please respect copyright.PENANAHaSLVmTfj1
280Please respect copyright.PENANADPIuNfy8pF
「我不是說『反雞蛋仔』嗎?」葉向東感覺到小丑面具下的恥笑:「『反』又如何『正』?雖然『正』有時也會是『反』,有時也不是,反正……」280Please respect copyright.PENANATDJT1Rv9nD
280Please respect copyright.PENANAXMarMMY0Rw
「也是一堆概念。」葉向東不等害羞鬼說下去。280Please respect copyright.PENANAQWsn7nlZHa
280Please respect copyright.PENANA3hLQUe3BEJ
「你搶了我的台詞啊。」280Please respect copyright.PENANARVNWNOe1vk
280Please respect copyright.PENANACdZy07uNYs
「少說廢話,接着如何了?」280Please respect copyright.PENANAxXDj3mI0r2
280Please respect copyright.PENANAgPMYWPjGJw
「接着如何?接着我就被困在這兒啊!」害羞鬼張開雙手,環視四周:「水飯房幽靈,不,應該說他在美國的代號:『潘多拉』才對,那傢伙居然趁朝鮮襲擊南韓報復時,與中國合謀用甚麼朝鮮最高級的機密作為誘餌,設計陷害我,把我困在這兒。」280Please respect copyright.PENANAMXK2kz0AZJ
280Please respect copyright.PENANA9jo9i7RiIy
「如果『水飯房幽靈』就是『潘多拉』……那麼『潘多拉之盒』……」葉向東似乎想通了箇中的因果關係了。280Please respect copyright.PENANAVHlKaWo6N4
280Please respect copyright.PENANAskLcoSRufx
「沒錯,潘多拉之盒就是這兒了。」280Please respect copyright.PENANAE11y9aE7nh
280Please respect copyright.PENANADUwKqkZjxi
葉向東留意着害羞鬼背後的金屬牆壁,那種反光有點不自然的感覺,像是材質的貼圖質素不佳,雖未至於一眼便看出「起角」,但與「真實」有點距離。280Please respect copyright.PENANArBEVtLw6gD
280Please respect copyright.PENANAqIq6O3mbA0
「眼前的一切事物肯定是電腦產生的虛擬實境!」他想:「潘多拉之盒就是這個虛構的金庫?不!說不定我被牡丹……可能還有其他北韓特工……給催眠了,真身正被五花大綁,要迫使我吐出甚麼秘密來。」280Please respect copyright.PENANA0RgHtrG0gP
280Please respect copyright.PENANATXT7qgAMNM
他覺得眼前的害羞鬼愈來愈「假」。280Please respect copyright.PENANAZv0mWpzqo6
280Please respect copyright.PENANAGPwX1S8dkd
「事實上,她們真的誤會了,我有何秘密可以吐露呢?」葉向東眼睛轉動,正想辦法脫身:「既然肉隨砧板上,只好乖乖就範,胡吹亂謅一番,滿足了她們的要求,離開金庫,催眠自然就會失效了?」280Please respect copyright.PENANAUa5Rxvg6zQ
280Please respect copyright.PENANAS45MNVssyK
既然打定主意,他便說:「好,我明白了,我幫你。」280Please respect copyright.PENANAS7ANvacUe4
280Please respect copyright.PENANANyZoOySmGh
害羞鬼高興得彈起身來,還以為要多費一番唇舌,說:「真的?!」280Please respect copyright.PENANAI9VhDhjFYU
280Please respect copyright.PENANA40qMLKegQH
「真的。」葉向東暗暗得意地說:「但我現在動彈不得,如何幫得上忙?」280Please respect copyright.PENANAhs5oRS8KFj
280Please respect copyright.PENANAMM2kz6OeDx
害羞鬼推着葉向東回到「電腦」的前面,說:「你要先替我解開這個謎題。」280Please respect copyright.PENANAXb4TBqVzTY
280Please respect copyright.PENANA0l9xlKSsyX
在螢光幕出現的並不是「納維斯托克斯存在性與光滑性」的方程式,而是另一堆數字:280Please respect copyright.PENANATEAqEBB77l
280Please respect copyright.PENANACyfbWALJOy
1 = 4280Please respect copyright.PENANA8IWk6UtZgs
2 = 8280Please respect copyright.PENANAYC8V36e7Yz
3 = 24280Please respect copyright.PENANALg4ywkEoye
4 =?280Please respect copyright.PENANAw57l31xwp0
280Please respect copyright.PENANALvNjWLZz0p
「這是甚麼?」280Please respect copyright.PENANAg5dfjBpIkF
280Please respect copyright.PENANAjHhl4MZdIt
「就是要你求答案囉!」害羞鬼把葉向東的頭推近螢幕,數式是放大了,但內容並沒有變化。280Please respect copyright.PENANAt9T2mwwkQ9
280Please respect copyright.PENANAWwvmJJvXnM
葉向東睜大眼睛看得很清楚,不是那些深奧的方程式,而是早些年前在社交網絡以「哈佛大學八成人都答錯,你會答對嗎?」作招徠,瘋傳又瘋傳的智力問題。280Please respect copyright.PENANAEW5kGuiFAf
280Please respect copyright.PENANAhU8cOEnDGF
當年,他也中了圈套,以為答案是「96」。因為他用了階乘「n!」的概念去傳釋這個「=」。看「4、8、24」這個序列,就會認為是「4 x 1! = 4」、「4 x 2! = 8」、「4 x 3! = 24」,所以「4 x4! = 96」。280Please respect copyright.PENANA9DRQGxMmrM
280Please respect copyright.PENANAgHKJtXLfpN
然而,「96」卻是個「錯誤」的答案,因為出題者說:「嘿!中計了!正確的答案其實很簡單,答案是『1』,因為既然『1 = 4』,『4 = 1』也是當然的了。」280Please respect copyright.PENANAiXeZj79Yhw
280Please respect copyright.PENANAO8FAl1IhMF
沒錯,原來「2 = 8」和「3 = 24」都是擾亂思路「假線索」。這樣說實在太客氣,因為這個「=」的意思根本不一樣!「1 = 4」與「4 = 1」中「=」是「對稱性」,而「2 = 8」及「3 = 24」就是「階乘」,但何時是指「對稱性」,何時是指「階乘」,則無從推斷。280Please respect copyright.PENANAY9PPylUC2M
280Please respect copyright.PENANAHTDEYvgSZ8
那即是說,答案可以是兩者,也可以不是兩者。280Please respect copyright.PENANAs6hKPQMDzs
280Please respect copyright.PENANAbw3dUwAxqT
看到葉向東迷惘的樣子,害羞鬼似乎很享受,並沒有催促的意思,那種沉默的等待,反而給葉向東很大的心理壓力。280Please respect copyright.PENANAkEqUYdVdir
280Please respect copyright.PENANAgdm61WjJCG
這樣的時間過得特別慢。280Please respect copyright.PENANAMMIqNEuCKy
280Please respect copyright.PENANAThfohysNYl
葉向東終於也聽到自己的心跳聲。280Please respect copyright.PENANAunWyTLrKRd
280Please respect copyright.PENANAiXG5JNwOB6
「那根本不是數學問題。」葉向東最後忍不住說:「事實上這是在猜你是一個『錯誤的正常人』,還是一個『正常的瘋子』。」280Please respect copyright.PENANAefMjCdYPXU
280Please respect copyright.PENANAJJQD88GRPo
「咭咭咭!」害羞鬼大笑,走過來把葉向東一百八十度轉過身去。280Please respect copyright.PENANAiw5jXEqbbM
280Please respect copyright.PENANAYawboS3Wmt
只見金庫的門居然打開了。280Please respect copyright.PENANAWvY7jCiaiy
280Please respect copyright.PENANA7oxe9npwbT
「為甚麼?」他愈來愈不解了。280Please respect copyright.PENANArdvmwq5S6F
280Please respect copyright.PENANAUcUEPUNXc4
「你答對了。」只聽到害羞鬼的聲音。280Please respect copyright.PENANAsBvvyR1r25
280Please respect copyright.PENANA5gkAlLasyg
「答對了?」葉向東難以置信:「我還沒有答啊!」280Please respect copyright.PENANAkOsjSkzQGR
280Please respect copyright.PENANA1xNt5PowbB
「對!」280Please respect copyright.PENANAp2Hw2Ur299
280Please respect copyright.PENANA7O2fIeagGW
「我不是要幫助你,而你會幫助我離開的嗎?」280Please respect copyright.PENANAZkHk6NnqCi
280Please respect copyright.PENANAJCslE0cJkf
「對。」280Please respect copyright.PENANA7Po986iM5i
280Please respect copyright.PENANABUatKACUoI
「我真的可以離開了?」280Please respect copyright.PENANAyv6YDNVw3o
280Please respect copyright.PENANAw27LbE3KKx
「你還要問多少次?」280Please respect copyright.PENANAxYnQQ1TpsJ
280Please respect copyright.PENANAbmCInr4XcC
「但……我要如何離開?」葉向東還是動彈不得。280Please respect copyright.PENANAY1VSU2R5nL
280Please respect copyright.PENANAWw9zrlVLY2
「我有沒有綁着你啊?」還是看不見害羞鬼,只有他的聲音在耳邊響着:「走出去,就是這樣簡單。」280Please respect copyright.PENANAOw4Uaa3BQb
280Please respect copyright.PENANAPBpHgJdCaw
